A Long ago, within the distant past of Hueco Mundo, existed two hollows. One a brother and another a sister who both shared the unique ability to take, host, and use the powers of any other hollow they devoured without limit. Through that power, an ambition to evolve into an existence of unrivaled might and potential was born and shared between them.

However, when their hunger peaked and both evolved into gillain. Neither sibling had the will to subdued the other or be left alone. Arrurerie was so afraid of pain and death that she could find no additional comfort but in the company of her brother. While Aaroniero could not stand seeing his sister cry alone and feared abandoning her.

Through that sibling bond, they wearable to maintain their individuality. Thus became a unique form of menos that shared two minds in one body. All the while continuing to devour and take the abilities of any hollow they came across.

But unfortunately, they were unwilling to let either of their individuality go. So Aaroniero or Arruruerie could never evolve beyond that of gillain and fully realize that as long as they share two minds within their menos body. They would never achieve their dreams of becoming an entity of unrivaled power.

However, all of that changed when an alchemist who served the God-King of Hueco Mundo came to the brother and sister and offered them a way to evolve without needing to sacrifice one another, Thus finally allowing them to become a state of being in which they never have to feel pain, fear and death ever again.

From both to themselves and each other...

Ichigo almost wanted to puke at that…thing which had to consume the Tokyo tower as it looked like something straight out of a morbid anime and made all too real. The giant twin-headed Espada laughed in delight. Their slim-like essence continued to pour down across the city without relenting and forcing both Kurosaki and Chad to take cover inside a coffee café.

'Is…' The teen stuttered; he tried to get the word out. 'Is that those two's Sengunda epata?'

He questioned while Chad gave a doubtful look.

'It is…however, I am afraid it goes far beyond just a transformation, ' Sado said as he looked towards the towering Aaroniero and Arruruerie. 'Rather, it is a form that's feeding on the spiritual pulse of the world of the living.'

Ichigo then remembered what the fullbringer said about that and then remembered how his version of Chad spoke of how he gained access to his full power by being within the presence of Hueco Mundo and couldn't help but think that those two Espada are doing something similar.

'So you are saying that Aaroniero and Arruruerie are feeding on the spiritual pulse of this world to make themselves stronger by devouring the city?' The shinigami question, but Sado looked uncertain.

'Maybe…but given how potent his spiritual pressure is right now and how it radiates the entire area. It seems more than just gaining an increased power' Chad pondered.

Then all of a sudden, both Ichigo and Sado heard a rumbling noise throughout the streets, and both gasped in bafflement and disgust. The tentacles wiggled out of the slime and grew into monstrous appendages as more red eyes and mouths sprouted from them and spread throughout the road, sidewalks, and buildings. All of which were swelling with dark purple spiritual energy.

'…well whatever it is, those two freaks. They are doing. We have to stop them now!' Kurosaki declared and then rushed out of the store with Chad following behind him.

Meanwhile, with Robert and Uryu.

For several minutes straight, the elder sternritter and the white prince tried in vain to slay the fused Arrancar. But no matter what they did. Whether it be blowing up both of their heads or Blasting their body apart with a barrage of arrows, Aaroniero and Arruruerie continue to regenerate without fail.

'It Is pointless, Quincy!' The two heads boasted in unison. ' As long as a single hollow remains within us, we will not die, no matter how many times you try to destroy our body and once we have assimilated Toyko through the spiritual pulse of this world. We will be able to achieve the next stage of our evolution that has long since been denied to us!'

'Denied!' Uryu gasped. 'Just what are you prattling on about!'

The twin Arrancar then laughs. 'Oh, so now you want us to talk when convenient for you…such sweet poor irony.'

The prince then gritted his teeth in frustration, but Robert placed his left hand on his shoulder to calm him down.

'I am afraid it is all too obvious, Uryu Ishida,' the elder Sternrriter gravely said as he lowered his head and then raised it back to look at the monster of an Arrancar.

'He plans on making himself into a Vasto Lorde….'

The white prince's eyes then widen in shock.

'What! But that is impossible! The only way a hollow could achieve that is if they had on single personality and the potential to evolve, to begin with!' Uryu argued, but Robert shook his head.

'Ishida, if that was the case, how did Aaroniero and Arruruerie become Adjuchas ?' The elder asked, and Ishidia then suddenly went quiet.

'While I don't know the exact circumstances. Those two likely created this method to bypass the requirements needed to evolve themselves from being a gillain and now plan to use the same way by consuming all of Tokyo as nourishment. To evolve into the highest class of hollow,' Robert explained, leaving Uryu stunned in disbelief and terror. At the same time, both of the twin Espada smiled in twisted delight.

'You are right, Old one. These battles and victories you have to gain were nothing more than a sideshow to the actual event. The god-king of Hueco Mundo seeks only the strongest to join his elite guard, and because of our renowned power, we were given a chance to become exactly that! The Espada twins roared out. Which soon evolved into a chorus of howls from the innumerable mouths of the thin tentacles that emerged from all over the city.

'And given our current form now. No one, not even your precious black prince, can stop our ascension! the 8th then hollered in uncontrollable laughter. While Robert and Uryu then looked back at each other.

'Ishida, my prince… ' Robert spoke. Yet Uryu seemed to know already what his senior was about to say. 'The city is lost…we have to call in the Zorn des Himmels. (heavens wrath)'

The prince then remains quiet upon hearing that name.

'Ishida!' Accontrune called out, and Uryu then turned to face his ally.

'You can't be serious,' he spoke quietly. But Robert remains firm in his stance.

'I am,' The sternritter said as they looked towards Aaroniero and Arruruerie in pity. 'Given that monster's level of power and regeneration. The only quinces outside his majesty that would have the ability to take this Espada out are the Sternstsaffle within the royal palace, and since all the local sun gates are closed off. It would take them far too long to get here through the other gates'

Ishidia then tightens his fists in frustration but sadly admits that Robert is right in his heart.

However, he heard a familiar voice call out before giving out the order.

'Well, it is good to have me here, huh?' Ichigo called from behind the too quinces with Chad standing beside him.

I-Ichigo?!' Uryu stuttered and stared at the youth as they walked up to Aaroniero and Arruruerie.

'I heard everything. You don't want this bastard becoming more powerful, making things worse, and feel that you must sacrifice innocent people to make it happen….' Ichigo then gave Robert a sympathetic look.

'I get it. But I am telling you here, and now you don't need to sacrifice anyone to defeat these two, not with me here' Ichigo stated as he then turned to face the 8th Espada and formed twin swords of reshi and Robert well he felt an urge to stop the boy from doing something foolish, he couldn't but think that that it was not needed.

'Hah! how amusing' the Espada laugh. 'You think you can stop us! That you can kill us! Even if you cut us in half, blow both of our heads off, and annihilate our hearts. We will regenerate from the souls of our devoured, and once we achieve our evolution by consuming this city. You won't even be able to harm us!

However, despite their massive boast, Ichigo just gave off a confident smirk.

'Well, that may indeed be troublesome…if you haven't gathered all those souls in a single place!' He muttered thoughtfully, and for once, Aaroniero and Arruruerie. Felt a sliver of fear creep into their hearts.

Ichigo then looked down at his two reshi swords and then back to Uryu, Robert and Chad.

'You know…I was never good at this whole masquerade thing, about hiding and lying about my power and doing it to people who had been nothing but supportive of me and all because I was afraid of being seen as their enemy. That an impersonator replaced someone they care about without warning and never realizing afterward.'

'Ichigo then turns to face the Espada. 'But now, since this masquerade is about to run its course….' Ichigo's eyes then began to glow blue with his power. 'You are about bear witness to exactly what I am capable of.'

Kurosaki's body then exploded with bright blue Spiritual pressure. That completely engulfed his surroundings and casing Sado, Uryu, and Robert to gasp at the sheer intensity. Along with its purifying nature. While Aaroniero and Arruruerie they by instinct alone. Saw the orange youth as a threat that needed to be exterminated.

So with a gesture of their right hand, the twin Espada summoned a massive limb composed of the strength and mass of over four hundred thousand hollows and later compressed it into a mighty fist, which they sent after the young upstart—hoping to crush him into past.

Only for Ichigo, with just a mere flick of his right-hand sword, obliterated the fist and limb into a gash of blood and shredded flesh. Much to the Arrancar's shock and incomprehension.

'That's not…possible, the two Espada whispered in fear and then went their added terror. Ichigo began to whisper a verse.

'Abandon your fear.'

Aaroniero and Arruruerie, in a moment of desperation, created a massive scythe from their left arm. They were composed of the armors and hides of the hollows they devoured before swiping it down at Ichigo to cut him in half.

'Look forward and never stop.'

Only for the youth two swipe aside the huge scythe hand with a single swipe of his shorter reshi swords, Only this time the backlash was so intense that it flat out disintegrated the arm into dust. At the same time, the twin blades continue to glow even brighter with power.

'You'll age if you pull back.'

They were frustrated and enraged. The 8th Espada then opened a massive mouth from their stomach and began channeling all their gathered power into it, not even caring if it would delay their evolution.

'You die if you hesitate.'

A massive ball of concentrated spiritual energy then formed within the Aaroniero's and Arruruerie's mouths. Its utter layers are composed of crackling purple electricity, and the center is a dark pitch mass that reflects no light.

It was an attack that could wipe out all of Tokyo off the map. But also leave behind a massive cavity many miles deep.

Orbe Del Abismo Ennegrecido! The twin esapda screamed out the technique's name when it was fully charged and launched it—hoping that its might would annihilate the boy into nothingness.

'Strikethrough the heavens….' Ichigo then readied his swords as the sphere of devastation appeared right above him.

ZANGETSU!' The soul reaper shouted out at the top of his lungs. Then the reshi blades began to burst in an explosion of light, and when they did. Ichigo struck both of them at the ball of doom, pushing it back…

And then wholly dispersing it with a double slash from both swords. While the Espada, sternrriter, and the white prince were rendered speechless at the act. Which can't be described as anything less than god-like, yet when they took a look at Ichigo, They realized that his two white reshi swords had been replaced by a pair of black solid metal blades. With one as short as a trench knife and the other a cleaver as giant as its wielder.

What…' Aaroniero gasped in bafflement.

'Are you!?' Arruruerie finished.

The orange-haired youth then remained silent for a moment and then answered.

'My name is Ichigo Kurosaki, seventeen years old, substituted shinigami...' Ichigo said as he readied his cleaver.

'And as of now, your reaper.'

Ichigo then gathered his spiritual energy within the enormous sword of his Shikai and his strike.

Getsuga...TENSHOU!' He called out. Before swinging the blade with an upper slash and from its edge, a massive concentrated wave of his blue spiritual pressure engulfed the entire tower-sized body of the 8th Espada and making them disappear into the veil of light.
