Transcender
Arriving back at Las Noches, Grimmjow yawned and announced that he was going to bed. As Nel and Halibel stood behind, Nel gave an eyebrow to Ichigo.
"So...The Trascender?" Ichigo nervously scratched his cheek.
"I think... we should begin forming our on military using the Thirteen Squads as a basis. After we gather the Espada again, we can begin forming..."
Ichigo trailed off as he saw a shadow wave over him. Turning around, he saw a large ass bird flying straight at him.
"What the hell!?"
"Lady Halibel!"
"Hey...! Stop pullin' on my wing!"
"You're about to fly over Las Noches! I can see them down there! Aim!"
Loly grabbed Luder's neck, who roared in pain. He began tilting downwards as he struggled to throw Loly off. Pesche didn't agree with that.
"New guy, stop that! You're gonna kill us all!"
"Bitch, let go!"
"What the hell!?"
"Lady Halibel!"
Sung-Sun hopped off him and floated down towards the group, leaving Luders and the others to crash into the wall of Las Noches. Halibel began walking forward as she noticed her Fraccion appear in the sky.
"...Sung-Sun?" Nel felt tears well up in her eyes.
"PESCHE!" She roared into the sky as she took off into a sprint. Ichigo and Grimmjow stood away, watching the events from the sides.
"Tch... Fraccion."
"Fraccion...You mean... like assistants to the Espada?"
"Yeah, basically... "
Ichigo began forming thoughts and ideas into his head, adopting a thinking pose. All while, Nel hurried back to the group, Pesche thrown over her shoulder, while the others arrived behind her.
"Look who came back, Ichigo! You remember Pesche, don't you?"
Ichigo rubbed his head as turned away from her big doe eyes.
"Yeah... Sadly..."
"Hey, I resent that!" Pesche ranted over Nel's shoulder.
"Quiet, I don't wanna talk to your ass! Every one, meet in the hall for immediate debriefing!"
Ichigo walked away, leaving behind seven confused Hollows. Loly spoke up first.
"Who the hell died and made him King!?"
"Alright, I know I'm new at this leader crap, but what the hell!? I sat in the Throne Room for the past hour waiting on you all to arrive! Why didn't you show up!?" Ichigo raged on all the Hollows, who stood outside another door.
"That's because Aizen used the Table Room for meetings, dumbass! The Throne Room was his personal quarters!" Loly stated while Grimmjow laughed his off. Pointing at him, Ichigo screamed again.
"You knew I would go there! You set me up!"
"Heh heh, no I didn't... You're just retarded, Kurosaki..."
Grimmjow laughed as he walked into the room. Grumbling, Ichigo and the rest of the Hollows followed behind. Taking a seat at the head of the table, Ichigo watched as the others... except for the four new people.
"You guys... can... you know... sit down..."
Unsure of themselves, the others, except for Luders because he was too big, sat in a chair, looking around nervously.
"Alright... now what?"
Everyone in the hall deadpanned at Ichigo, who clasped his hands in front of his mouth and looked around seriously at everyone.
"You ruined my sleep time for this shit!? Fuck it, I'm outta here!"
"I wasn't talking to you, dumbass! I was talking to the Fraccion!"
"My name's not Fraccion! It's Loly Aivirrne, and you better remember that!"
Taken back, Ichigo turned to the rest of the Fraccion for them to introduce themselves. After the introductions and their story of the events concerning the prison, they got down to business. Sung-Sun stood next to Ichigo as she addressed the room.
"From what I know, they have multiple hideouts all over the world. In each of these hideouts, they travel using these 'Gates of the Suns." I know the Vandenreich has one in the prison and one in hidden the Soul Society, which is how they were able to commence their assault on the Seireitei. Where... I have no idea."
"They were obviously preparing to set one up at Las Noches. It explains their assault here."
"No... the assault at Las Noches was to go through my possessions."
Eyes widened, everyone swiveled in their chair at the screen that was behind them ("When the hell did that get here!?"), On it, Aizen sat, sipping his beloved tea as he smirked at his favorite Ryoka. At everyone's shocked face, Aizen explained.
"I've owned Las Noches for fifty years, Arrancars. Did you think I had no way of keeping an eye on things before I left the Soul Society? How naïve..."
"Goddamn creeper!"
"Actually, I'm here on official Soul Society business, before you ruin your pants in fear of me. As you were saying earlier, Cyan Sung-Sun... Soul Society has come to the same conclusion. We are preparing to send a team to it, since it has been found. We are asking if you could do same to the one in Hueco Mundo, as the attack will be effective if it is attempted at the same time. Do you need any aid on your end?" Ichigo stared suspiciously at Aizen.
"You're lying, Aizen."
Aizen narrowed his eyes.
"Explain yourself, Ryoka."
"Soul Society is recruiting forces just as we are. An attack a week after the assault on Soul Society? You're just making excuses to stalk me!"
Aizen became straight-faced. Then he smirked.
"Shatter, Kyok-"
And Grimmjow's Bala saved the day.
"That guy's really startin' to piss me. Why haven't we killed him yet?"
"...Because I'm immortal, my dear Grimmjow..."
After the entire room tired themselves out looking around for the speakers ("I'm afraid to go to sleep now..."), Ichigo faced the group again.
"Alright, now we need to plan an assault on the prison."
"With seven people, Kurosaki? Are you an idiot?"
"Shut up, Halibel! I don't know what to do... Unless you have any better ideas!?"
"Not every Arrancar and Hollow was captured... we just need to find the ones who escaped and make an army.
"And you think we'll find enough!? What person do you know is a one-man army!?" Ichigo growled out.
Every Arrancar in the room paused as a name appeared in their head.
"Rudbornn Chelute..."
"Sir, you need to be still. I'm trying to stitch back-"
The Quincy medic was backhanded out the window as Juhabach stared angrily at his body.
"Why... did you not steal Aizen's Bankai when he attacked... Haschwald? Haschwald appeared from behind the curtains.
"You know fully well why, my liege."
"...So it was successful? Did you use it?"
"I tested it when I faced Kurosaki... It matches his Reiatsu."
Juhabach smirked as he put on his clothes. The wound on his shoulder suddenly healed itself.
"Will we invade Las Noches soon? I am prepared to make contact the Stern Ritter..."
"No... they have Soul Society backing them and Aizen could be there before we step a mile radius close to it. I wish... to see someone. Come with me..."
"Tesla..."
A thin, blonde man, dressed in a school uniform stared into the distant sun. Hair covering his right eye and forehead, he turned and faced his speaker.
"What is it?"
"What's wrong? You've stood on this building gazing at the sun for the last twenty minutes. Are you ever gonna eat your lunch?"
"Sorry, Ryo... I'm not hungry. I'm just... thinking."
Ryo Kunieda, Karakura High School track star, stared as she watched the foreign exchange student leaned on the rail.
"About the recent events? I know... I mean... Kurosaki dies from a heart attack and his family moves away, Inoue, Yasutora, Arisawa, Ishida, Asano, and Kojima all left the school and moved, it's been so weird lately."
Tesla said nothing as he stared into the realistic sun, hovering over Karakura.
"Gran Rey Cero!"
The giant blue Cero crashed into a distant sand dune. Panting heavily, Ichigo collapsed to his knees. Hearing footsteps in the sand behind him, he turned around, discovering Loly behind him.
"Uh... What can I do for you...?
"It's Loly, dumbass..."
Ichigo deadpanned as saw her equally blank look.
'How did she know I forgot her name?'
"It's written on your face."
Shaking his head, Ichigo turned and launched another Grand Rey Cero at a sand dune. Loly continued to watch.
"You never answered why you were out here."
"Because I wanted to! I can go wherever I want because I can, you got that!?"
"Alright, sheesh..." Ichigo stated, clearly annoyed at her presence. An hour later, after decimating more of the sand, Ichigo noticed that Loly was still there, sitting cross-legged on the ground, shaking her head. A blush ran across her sheepish face as she turned away from Ichigo.
'What the hell's her problem?'
Before Ichigo could move, Loly stood in his way, kneeling in front of him. Blushing at her position, he backed away.
"What the hell are you doing!?"
"Sh-Shut up! This isn't easy for me either, you know!?"
"I don't know! What the hell are you talking about!?"
Loly punched her fists as if she was building up the courage to say something. Before Ichigo could leave, she screamed at his face.
"You defeated Aizen!"
Ichigo stood still, eyes wide in disbelief.
"No shit, Sherlock! Is that what you wanted to say to me!?
"Yes... I mean no! I mean... Gaaagggghhh!"
"What do you want from me, woman!?"
"Your servitude!"
Shocked, Ichigo tripped over his own feet trying to get away. However, Loly latched on his leg, making him fall to the ground.
"I didn't mean that, I promise! Don't leave yet!"
Shaking her off, Ichigo stood up, glaring at Loly, confused and frightened. Kneeling over, Loly dusted herself off, taking a couple of deep breaths, before bowing down to Ichigo.
"Your right hand... is what defeated Aizen... Your right hand... held the power to damage Juhabach... You... you have no need for another right hand..."
Ichigo remained silent as he listened to Loly.
"So... allow me to become your left hand!"
Ichigo's eyes widened in shock.
"...I will become... your left hand... If your right hand attacks... I will be your shield! If your right hand defends, I will be your counter...!"
She looked up directly at Ichigo, her face cherry red as she spoke as if she were at boot camp.
"And if your right hand... ever fails you... I will be the one to save you! Allow me to serve as your Fraccion from here until my life fails me!"
She placed her head on her hands on the ground, as she swore her allegiance to Ichigo.
"..."
Ichigo was rendered speechless, leaning on his sword as if it were a crutch.
Tesla walked back to his apartment, wandering through the rain.
The same thing... everyday.
That lonely rain...
Tesla unlocked his door and traveled to his room.
Nothing left to fight for...
Walking over to his desktop, he turned it on. He was about to check his email when he got a text message:
Sent From: OneNight235

Subject: Move!
Turning around, Tesla saw a figure dashing to his window. He move to the right, grabbing his Zanpakuto before drawing and point at his never-will-be assasin... which was a black cat dressed in a white coat.
"Hello there... Arrancar."
Scratch that, a talking black cat.
As Ichigo answered back, he was unaware he was being watched by his 'creeper'.
"Really, Captain Aizen? Do you have nothing better to do than watch Ichigo Kurosaki?"
"Nope..."
Hidetomo sighed as he watched Aizen continue to sip his tea, staring at a screen. As he walked away from the room, Aizen switched the camera to a blurred figure standing in a clearing. Across from that man was an equally dark figure. He contemplated the situation as he took another sip.
"I wonder... what will be your role in all of this... Ginjo... Kugo?"
