A/N- Ozzy's baaack~! I was thinking, and I realized that I really didn't describe his appearance that well before. So... Has anyone ever seen that show on Cartoon Network, Generator Rex? It's a pretty good sci-fy/action show. (I love Breach. Awesomely disturbed character.) Anyways, there's these EVO bunnies that show up in some if the episodes. Those things are kinda what I based Ozzy off of. Just imagine them a little less vicious looking, a little cuter, and with more Hollow features. If you haven't seen the show, Google it.
Disclaimer- Uh yeah. You know the drill. I don't own Bleach.
Orihime walked into her living room, humming to herself. She was planning on getting ice cream with Tatsuki later, and was daydreaming about all the delicious flavors and toppings she was going to devour.
Heading over to the spacious cage sitting against the wall, she retrieved the rabbit food from a box lying nearby and opened the enclosure. After cleaning up after the rabbit and refilling the food and water containers, she peered into the small hideaway box in the cage's corner.
"Ozzy~! You want a carrot?" she sang, dangling the vegetable in the enclosure. She was still taking care of the bunny because her friend's friend's house was still being renovated; the renovators had underestimated the time the job would take. It didn't bother her, though. Ozzy was cute.
After a few seconds, she pulled the carrot out and gently tapped on the box. "Ozzy~. Are you in there?" Receiving no response, she gently picked the box up. Nothing was under it.
Frowning, she glanced around the cage, hoping that the bunny had been hiding in the corner or had sneaked over to his food bowl. Not seeing anything, she stood and began wandering around her apartment, calling Ozzy's name and looking under furniture.
'He has to be around here somewhere...' Orihime thought while looking under her bed.
Going back to her living room, Orihime began to get worried. Ozzy wasn't anywhere, and considering the fact that he's a mutant hollow bunny, that wasn't good. He could really hurt someone running around outside.
A breeze gently ruffled her hair. 'That feels nice...' she thought closing her eyes. She snapped them open a second later, remembering that she was indoors. Whirling around, she caught sight of the open window.
Panicking, she ran to it, clinging to the hope that the albino was still lingering around outside.
Unfortunately, Ozzy had other plans.
...
Setting his bag on his desk, Ichigo sighed and collapsed onto his bed. It had been a long day at school, with Keigo bothering him every two seconds, Rukia trying to get him to talk to Keigo, and the five hollows that had decided to show up throughout the day. At least they didn't have homework for the weekend. He could just take it easy and-
'KING!'
He sighed. So much for relaxing. 'What?'
'I didn't do anything wrong!'
'Uh, okay. So?'
' 'So?' Why's this thing in here again?'
'What're you talking about?'
Something that sounded like a mix between a screech and a roar suddenly sounded from within his mindscape, then some crashing sounds, which were followed by a yell of surprise.
'ZOMG! It just kidnapped Zanny! Get in here!'
'What-'
'KING!'
'Okay, okay.'
He dropped into his mindscape a second later. Looking around, he saw his hollow standing nearby on full alert with his sword unsheathed, looking at something on the side of the building.
"So what's going on?" Ichigo asked, seeing no sign of destruction.
Ogihci didn't answer, just pointed at what he was looking at. Upon closer inspection, the shinigami realized that the objects were scraps of cloth from Zangetsu's robe.
"Where's Zangetsu?"
"He took him!"
"Who?"
"That thing!"
"What thing?"
"The mutant hollow bunny!"
"Mutant hollow bunny... You mean Ozzy?"
"Yeah!"
"How'd he get in here?"
"I dunno! He took Zanny!"
"Uh, okay... Where?"
"Somewhere over there," Ogihci said, pointing to their left. "Oh, and the thing ate his emo pole again. How does he even do that?"
"I don't know. We'd better go get the old man before Ozzy decides to eat him, though."
-Meanwhile-
"Put me down!" Zangetsu yelled, trying to hit the giant bunny anywhere he could reach, which wasn't much. All the poor zanpakuto could manage was a couple of glancing blows to Ozzy's chest due to him being dangled from the bunny's overgrown teeth by the back of his robes while he ran to Kami-knows-where.
Finally, Ozzy came to a stop, throwing his victim a good distance away in the process. Zangetsu sat up and stared at Ozzy, who was sitting back on his haunches, glaring at the sword, looking like he was going to pounce.
Zangetsu started to back up, trying not to provoke the albino creature in front of him. Ozzy tilted his head slightly, observing the zanpakuto's movements with great interest. He then raised his ears and looked to his right, something putting him on alert.
The sword breathed a sigh of relief- It didn't look like he was going to be eaten after all.
Ozzy, however, had different ideas.
As if his life depended on it, he attacked Zangetsu, pouncing on his chest and pinning his arms down.
Before he could rip the sword's throat out, a Getsuga Tensho slammed into him, sending him flying.
"Zangetsu!"
"Zanny!"
"You okay?"
"Did it eat your pole whole?"
Both of the spirits gave the hollow odd looks.
"What?" he asked, genuinely confused.
"Is that all you care about?" Ichigo asked.
"Well, it ate it that one time so I just thought..."
"It ate my pole again?" the zanpakuto asked, crushed. "How?"
"I don't freakin' know, Zanny!"
"Uh, guys?" Ichigo said. "Incoming." Off to their right, Ozzy had risen, shook the dust out of his fur, and was now charging at them. More specifically, at Ichigo, since he was the one that fired the Getsuga Tensho.
"FREAKIN' RUN!" he shouted. The others complied happily.
After that... Well... Everything broke down in chaos.
Ogihci started chasing Ozzy, swinging his sword around, trying to kill him while simultaneously slicing up the building they were on. Zangetsu was standing off to the side in his mental emo corner, morning the loss of his pole (again). Ichigo had somehow ended up on Ozzy's back, holding on for dear life to avoid being killed by the rampaging bunny. Ogihci was trying as hard as he could to get him off his back, causing more damage than Ogihci was in the process.
"No! KING!" Ogihci wailed , noticing Ichigo's position for the first time, somehow missing him while chasing Ozzy. He then got the idea to try and spear the bunny with his sword.
During this, Zangetsu was just retreating further and further into his mental emo corner, thinking about how young his pole had been.
He lowered it and began running at him, aiming for the bunny's ribs. Ichigo saw him and shouted, "No you idiot! You'll hit ME!"
"You better not kill King! I still wanna give him hell!"
Ogihci hit Ozzy as he said this, his sword going clean through his ribs, missing Ichigo by mere centimeters. The hollow began cheering, glad that the Bunny from Hell was dead.
Ozzy just kept running.
"What..." he said, confused as to how his fellow albino was still moving when his giant, white cleaver was stabbed clear through his chest, the tip visible in the other side.
"Idiot! You went through his hollow hole!" Ichigo shouted while holding onto the rabbit's fur for dear life.
Looking closer, Ocihci saw that there was a perfectly round hole there, his sword wedged in it. The white fur just concealed it most of the time.
"Shit!" he yelled, trying to catch up with the psycho hollow. Seeing that he wasn't going to succeed on his own, the albino darted over to Zangetsu, hoping to pull him out from the confines of the mental emo corner.
"Zanny!" he shouted in the sword's face while shaking his shoulders. "Zanny! Come on! It's got King!"
Since it looked like the zanpakuto was on an emo-coma, Ogihci slapped him as hard as he could, knocking him off his feet.
Sitting there, Zangetsu just mumbled, "My pole... Poor Poley...", obviously not aware of what was going on around him. He was pulled to his feet by Ogihci, who began slapping him repeatedly, each slap following a word.
"Snap Slap! Out Slap! Of Slap! It! Slap!"
Blinking and looking around, apparently having come to his senses, Zangetsu spotted Ichigo, who was still on Ozzy, jumped up and went after him.
"Ichigo!"
Ozzy suddenly busted through one of the windows and entered one of the buildings, taking Ichigo with him. Crunching sounds were heard several seconds later.
"DON'T YOU DARE EAT MY CANDY!"
-Two Hours Later-
"..."
"...King, you gotta help us fix all of this."
"...I will... We have to get him out of here first, and I've kinda got to explain this to Orihime..."
"Fine..."
All three were standing on the main building, beat-up, exhausted, and kind of in shock because of what Ozzy had done. The bunny in question was lying on the building a short distance away, passed out.
He had eaten half of Ogihci's candy, which had been moved and carefully boxed up, devastating the hollow. Zangetsu's sake stash was almost gone due to Ozzy getting thirsty.
"Is it even possible for a bunny to get drunk?" Zangetsu questioned, prodding Ozzy gently with his foot.
"Guess so." Ichigo said, picking the mutant bunny up. (He had reverted back to his regular form after loosing consciousness.) "I'm going now. Don't kill each other." He disappeared.
"..."
"...Ya still have to help us clean up, you know!" Ogihci called out to him right before he left.
He didn't respond.
A/N- Well, someone doesn't like Zangetsu...
Status of Ozzy's Owner's Identity- You guys are getting closer. Keep the guesses coming. :)
The chapter detailing that would have been posted shortly after this one, but I was reading through it last night and noticed that I somehow left a HUGE plot hole in it, and that threw the whole second half of the chapter off. DX I'm starting to rewrite it now and a lot of things are going to be changed and added. Might even make it span over two chapters... I will tell you guys this- a hell of a lot of characters are going to show up in it. *coughShinigamicough* Gonna have LOTS of fun with this one. :)
Review!
