20,000 years later-Aizens return (accepting/started)

[Hotaru987]

Velcora scoffed at the all too familiar voice that traveled through the halls as she ventured towards her room. How she wished the owner would just up and vanish. Only then would Velcora get some peace. "Even on my worst of days - if that was even possible - I would look better than you a hundred times over." Velcora stated and spun around to look at Rose. As much as Velcora loathed to admit it, Rosette was very beautiful. [i]Almost[/i] as beautiful as herself. It was only because of the threat Rosette posed that Velcora acted so cruel to her. However, Velcora would never admit that she thought of Rose as - of not a friend - than a very close comrad. Even so, she hated the way Rose blatenly flaunted her beauty whenever she was around her.

"Besides, even if you were there you know how I hate sharing. This shinigami is mine to kill. Not only did he ask me to become an experiment-" She spat the words out like venom, "But he also killed my darlings." Velcora stroked her blond, lush hair with more affection than

on would ever give to their own hair.

"Though there was this other shinigami who went out of his way to disrespect me, and get me riled up. Even so, he wasn't as half as annoying as the other shinigami. So I suppose you han have him, as he is of no intrest to me."

[Dwarven King]

(OOC: I see what you're doing there Magnet! ;D And I put that anyone who was ranked 7 or lower (7, 8, and 9) all moved up a rank. I'm pretty sure Grimmjow went up to rank 6 after he killed Luppi.)

Doraga raised his head and looked at Elana. "It means that this Grimmjow may very well still be alive. He may have even became much stronger since he was last seen. It's been 20,000 years, and both souls and hollows can live a very long time." He slowly stood up and answered Elana's first question. "Yes Elana, we are leaving. I wish to find this Grimmjow. He may have more answers." Suddenly, without warning, Doraga drew his blade and had the point within an inch of Ex's face. "Ex, you may appear to be a younger person, but I am well aware that your intelligence is much higher. So I'm positive you fully understand what I am doing. That leaves you with two choice. Join me, or I kill you. The choice is yours." Doraga stood there waiting for Ex's answer.

[TotalObelisk]

(OOC: Magnet's right, Grimmjow was taken out of the Espada and replaced with Luppi, then he got his position back after he killed Luppi)

Ex began to wonder between the shelves of the library after leaving Gorda at the door.

[b]"Makes you wonder what hollows would want with a library,"[/b] she said aloud, though was only talking to herself [b]"I mean sure, we're smart but most others are just a bunch of big dummies."[/b] She shot a glance at Gorda.

She continued to wonder around for a moment or two before returning to the others who where currently discussing the previous Espada and the whereabouts of someone called 'Grimmjow'. Ex wasn't really paying attention and only looked up when Doraga pulled his sword out, causing Ex to pause for a moment. Gorda meanwhile, noticing the Espada threaten Ex, reached for his own weapon, an angry scowl on his face.

[b]"Broke-Mask-Man no hurt Ex,"[/b] he barked [b]"If Broke-Mask-Man hurt Ex, then Gorda hurt Broke-Mask-Man."[/b]

Ex rolled her eye irritably and glared at Gorda.

[b]"You, go outside and leave us along,"[/b] she said.

[b]"But..."[/b]

[b]"I said scram!"[/b]

Gorda's face fell slightly and he slumped out of the room, climbing the stairs back up to the surface. Once he was gone, Ex's pseudo-innocent smile returned to her face as she turned to look back at Doraga.

[b]"Well mister, since you put it like that I don't think I have a choice,"[/b] she said sweetly [b]"In any case, it sounds like fun so count me in. I won't tell a soul, I promise~"[/b]

[Dwarven King]

(OOC: I see my mistake now. Fixed! ^.^)

Doraga sheathed his blade without taking his eyes off of Ex. "Very well then." he said has he turned towards the entrance. "If my guess is correct, he should be in the forests. Granted he's still alive that is." Doraga then climbed the steps out of the library and back out into the desert. Without stopping to see if the others were following him or not, he continued to walk in the direction to the forest. [i]"It seems I have just put myself in a very delicate situation."[/i] he thought to himself. [i]"I knew I couldn't trust Aizen, and I just read proof. He probably wouldn't deny it either if I were to ask him. Right now, I have to put distance between us. Just until I come up with a plan."[/i]

[Magnet Soldier]

((Interesting Subplot, here we come! Though we better ask Visser before we actually allow Grimmjow in. If he says no to Grimmjow, we could be assaulted by a Vasto Lorde who proclaims to have eaten Grimmjow long ago.
And I'm pretty sure Grimmjow will come back anyway.))

Elana nodded and watched as Doroga threatened Ex, something she hadn't ever seen him do before. This was definately a tense situation. They'd just found out Aizen would throw them away within a second like broken tools, they discovered a secret Library that was most likely an Arrancar or Rogue Shinigami's Hideout and they may have found out that one of the Original Espada may still be alive now, and extremely powerful. She wasn't surprised when Ex joined them, she was weak compared to Doroga-senpai, she'd just found out Aizen would sacrifice her with no remorse, and Ex's personality made her choose the most 'fun' option.
As they walked to the exit, Elana looked back once, spreading her eyes over the aisles upon aisles of abandoned tomes, each one a shining star of knowledge. As she looked over the dusty aisles, she wondered who could've founded this, who could have gathered this much knowledge and stored it in one secure place, totally hidden from view. She had an Idea about who, but was unsure of her answer. She shrugged and turned to follow her master out of the door, missing the small engraving on the back of the door, saying: "The Chronicles of History. A collection of Knowledge concerning the Universe. Collected by......." A great mound of dust covered the last name. If Elana or one of the other Arrancars had seen it, they might've brushed away the dust to find a name. Now they'd never know, because, as Elana could no doubt feel in her bones, this was probably the last time they or anyone else would visit this place.
As Elana exited the Library and arrived on the surface, the last one up, the trap door closed behind her, hiding itself from View yet again, unlikely to ever be discovered again. Elana sighed and watched her master run off towards the distant Menos Forest. She started Shunpoing after him, following him to where Grimmjow most likely would be.

((You have your leaving, DK. I have my Library. Anyone want to guess who the owner is? Or atleast, who Elana Thinks it is?))

Osuchin jumped in surprise when he heard the wall fall apart behind him. When he looked and saw that it was only Set he let out a sigh of releaf. "Aizen told me to get stronger by eating hollow, so thats what I'm doing. I guess getting my ass kicked with one hand is just as good a motivation as a femail escourt." He laughed at the last part and looked back where the hollow had been, but she was gone. "Aww, she's gone. Oh well." When he looked back he noticed that Set was in her ressurection stage. "Um. Why did you release you'r zanpakutou? Did you get in to a fight."
[/quote]

((OOC: Sorry, I had to go on a trip guys. Haven't been on.))

Set sighed, and placed each blade into its own hilt. A plume of smoke engulfed her entire body, and it was moments later before she walked out of it. She came out in her normal attire, unscathed and relatively the same; The only difference was that her pure mask had changed a bit; it now did not cover her entire right side of her face, but was now a large teardrop coming off of the side of her right eye.

She quickly noticed the enhanced vision in her right eye. "My my, that is better." She muttered to herself. She put her hand up to her face in amazement, forgetting Osuchin. She spent a few good moments feeling at her skin, then her eyes went wide as she noticed Osuchin.

"I'm sorry Osuchin, I got carried away... I was practicing in my Resurrecion form. You've been sent here to feed and grow stronger? Aizen wouldn't want you all out here by yourself; I know how he is about protecting you. Why are you here alone?"

She said all of this quickly, not giving Osuchin to get a word in edgewise. Noticing this, she covered her mouth.

"Sorry, Osuchin. I'm a bit of a questioner sometimes..." She said, frowning beneath her hand.

Rosette walked besides Velcora. The borde expression ,which was commonly found on Rosette's face, has been replaced with a smug smirk. Rosette made sure to yawn loudly as Velcora spoke about the glory of her blond hair. Rosette remained quite as Velcora spoke, she kept her half opened eyes set on Velcora as she braged about her own beauty.

" That it rater strange." Rosette placed her finger on her chin and placed her elbow into the palm of her other hand. " Why would this shinigami want you to become some sort of experiment?" Rosette shook her head left to right, her sumg look changed to that of a confused one. " The way I figure it blonds like yourself are so common and dull, now a brunette like myself is a rare breed." Rosette removed her hand from her chin and glided it thru her long hair. Rosette flicked her long brown hair repeatedly. As Rosette flicked her hair small flakes of glitter emerged from her hair and illuminated the area, which was a outstanding display of beauty. It truly pained Rosette to play such childish games using her powers for such stupid tricks. She may have been fighting the urge to spit, but she smiled because she knew that such an act will upset Velcora.

Rosette placed both of her hand by her side and her voice held a serious yet dull tone. " Velcora the flowers have been hearing talk around Las Noches. I dont know who and i dont particularly care who, but it seems some of the espada are not sitting well with Aizen. I am not trying to stir the water but I tought I should warn you to watch your back. It would be most unpleasant if you were to be betrayed and killed, besides age is doing a wounderful job of that." Rosette knew that many of the arrancars over looked the fact that she had planted flowers throughout the fortress. She used her flowers as a way to keep tabs on everything that happenes within Las Noches. Rosette knew that she was not the most powerful member of the espada that was clear to her, however she felt and never doubted that she was the most crafity member of the espada.

Osuchin made a few attempts to comment before Set finaly stoped talking, he considered commenting on this but decided against it, instead Smiling and letting out a short laugh. "Well, you and Velcora both denied being an escourt, and there is no way im going to run around for a month with a dude. Not gonna happen." He crossed his arms. "So that left me by myself, at least until you showed up." He looked around too see if there where any more holow, but the area was deserted. "There has got to be a faster way to do this."

Set smirked. She had not denied being an escort, she had merely not been directly ordered to take him. "There is, you know." She said, almost laughing. "You're fighting mere hollows, what you should be fighting is Gillian and Adjuchas. There are plenty around, have you not noticed them?"

She yet again brought her hand up to the right side of her face, not believing that half of her mask was gone. Snapping out of this trance, she smiled and sent out a Pesquisa, searching for any nearby high level hollows. Instantly she sensed a spiritual pressure not unlike that of a Shinigamii, and her eyes widened, not in fear, but in surprise.

"A shinigami?" She said, astounded. She looked around her, confused. "What would a shinigami be doing here? Don't they usually stay out of this area?" She thought out loud. Set looked back at Osuchin. "Do you sense it too?"

((OOC: I wanna fight a Shinigami! ))

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

(I guess I should have mentioned that I was putting hollow because Adjuchas was too hard to spell.)

"They attacked me, so I ate them. Simple as that. I'm partialy hoping I can run in to a vasto-lordes hollow, if I can eat one of those guys I'll go streight to that level and I wont have to eat anymore." Even though he said this, he knew it would be almost imposible to kill a Vasto-lordes at his curent level. "Shinigami?" He started sencingthe area for the shinigami and quickly picked up it's spirit presure. "He must be eather verry stupid or verry brave to show up here, where there are so many strong hollow around here." He glanced at Set for a moment and then in the direction that the spirit pressure was coming from. "How about showing our new guest the welcoming commity in Huaco Mundo?"

Set smiled, noticing his willingness to go fight a Shinigami. "I haven't actually fought a Shinigami since my turning into an Arrancar..." She thought out loud. The spiritual pressure was drawing closer and closer, and something shocked her. This wasn't your run-of-the-mill Shinigami; This spiritual pressure seemed like it meant business, and it had a mean[i] flare[/i] to it.

She looked around, with a small sliver of fear pulsing through her head. The Shinigami was getting closer; as it did, the pressure got higher and higher. Set stepped next to Osuchin and put her hand on his shoulder. "Hey, this spiritual pressure is... catastrophically large, are you sure you want to fight it...?" She asked, still stunned at the immensity of the Shinigami's apparent abilities. She looked off into the direction that the pressure was flowing from, and frowned. "Better tell me now..."

((OOC: Unrelated, but I pulled a Brionac out of a single HA! Also, any group of Shinigami's wanna come fight us? It'd be pretty chill.)

[Esplin 9466 Primary]

"I'm all for a fight. If he's strong then that just means I'll become even stronger after I eat his soul." Osuchin licked his lips and began walking in the direction that the shinigami was in. "Of course if you're woried you might get hurt then I'll heal your wounds after the fight. Of course that's asuming you even get a chance to fight before I kill him." He leaned forward as he took a step before launching himself forward with a Sonido and headed straight in the shinigami's direction. His hand was already on his zanpakutou ready to draw it.

Somewhere in Las Noches there seemed to be a rift in time and space. The air seemed to pulse and move like the surface of water. Soon a portal opened in the center of the rift. A small group of soul reapers made there way out of the portal. Mitsuhide, who was captain of squad two, was the first to exit the portal. Once he exited the portal he scaned the area around him, the sight of a darkened sky and a vast ocean of white sand was new to Mitsuhide.

" So the device worked, then this must be Las Noches land of the hollows." Mitsuhide folded his arms and glanced behind him as an arrancar appeared out of the portal.

Yerroth exited the portal cracking his wrist. He seemed rather stiff from being chained up for so long. Yerroth held a smile across his face as he gazed upon Las Noches. " I did not think I would ever see this place again, but I am glad that I was selected for this mission. I cant help but feel nostalgic about this place, I remember how I use to roam these plains fighting to discover my purpose."

" That's enough" Mitsuhide responded in a harsh tone. " You may be squad one's lieutenant, but the head captain placed me in charge of this operation so do not forget your place arrancar. I requested for you to accompany me on this mission because you know the lay out of this land." Mitsuhide said.

Yerroth stared Mitsuhide in the eye and remained silent, Yerroth's fangs peared out of his mouth.

Mitsuhide glared at the arrancar, it was clear that Mitsuhide did not trust Yerroth but he knew that he was vital to this mission. " Now once the others make their way thru the portal we can carry out the mission."

[Hotaru987]

Velcora felt her blood boil at the unrealistic beauty that Rosette displayed. How she hated her with a passion! She was going to react to Rose's display, however, her next sentence caught the blond Espada off guard. "Is that so....Hmph, it doesn't matter to me. Lord Aizen will easily be able to defeat any that goes against him. Though it is quite interesting that some would even consider defecting." Velcora glanced over at Rose or a few seconds before turning her back towards her. "I suppose I will watch my back due to your....Enlighting information." She then walked off not having anything else to say to her.

~~~~~~~~

Hearing that there was no need to report his information on the Shinigami to Lord Aizen Armadura turned around and back tracked the way he came. It was strange to him that Aizen would order them to assess the Shinigami's power and then not what to hear what they learned, but he would not question Aizen's orders. As they continued to walk, they passes Velcora who sneered towards Rayu. The fraccion didn't seem bothered by this and simply glanced at her uninterestedly. Of course this only made her angrier. She couldn't stand when people acted better than her, and Rose's behavier earlier already had her pissed off.

However, a simply glance from Armadura had Velcora hesitating. With a huff, she turned and continued her walk. She would get Rayu later. At the moment a bath was more important.

The 2nd, and his fraccion continued to walk on and they came upon yet another Espada. To be more accurate the 7th. As soon as Rayu saw Rosette she stopped and stared at her. Rayu loved all things cute, and beautiful. Rosette was definately that and more. Much more interesting that plain Velcora. It was one of Rose's flowers she was staring at earlier when she had lost track of Armadura.

"Rayu....Let's go." Armadura said towards his fraccion, however she didn't move. He only closed his eyes - almost as if he was exsasperated - and faced Rose. "Have her find me when she id finished." With that he walked off leaving Rose at the mercy of Rayu's stare which held the awe of a child.

~~~ Soul Society~~~~

(What's going on here? Is there something I can do? Otherwise this will just be some random unhelpful post.)

[Cosmic Angel]

Rosette was a bit surprised by the response that Velcora had given her. Rosette was caught off guard by her answer and was unable to respond, but she was glad that Velcora would have her guard up. As Velcora walked away a small smile gathered on Rosette's often dull face. [ She took the news better than expected.] Rosette tought to herself. Rosette looked at the palm of her hand, she was staring at the number seven tattoo that had been placed there by Aizen. [ It is rather funny to see that you are a higher rank than me. Yet it is this rosebush that protects the snake from harm.] Rosette tought.

Rosette saw Armadura approaching her, she recived a bit of a shiver as he drew closer. [ This man always gives me the chills, why do I tense up when I am around him. I do not fear Aizen so why is it that I fear this man? Dam him to hell.]
" Armad....." Rosette stoped speaking once she noticed the purple haired girl standing infront of her. Rosette stared at the girl and the women stared back. " Ok this is getting creepy." Rosette took a few steps back and turned towards Armadura. She remained calm and showed no signs of anger or fear. Rosette's tone remained dull and emotionless like it always is. " Hey why dont you remove your...." Once again Rosette's words had been inturpted, but this time it was from Armadura.

" What do you mean bring her back, I am not going to be handing you prob....." Before she could finish Armadura had walked off. She turned back to the girl who seem fixed on Rosette. Rosette felt a bit feaked out by this silent girl.

Rosette sighed " Just my luck."

[Hotaru987]

Rayu tilted her head to the side so slight, it was hard to tell whether she moved at all. "You are...Rosette.....7th Espada..." She said her voice soft, yet just as emotionless as her master's. She hadn't even noticed that Armadura had left, though at the moment, she didn't exactly care. Her eyes then fell down to her chest, and she even leaned in to get a closer look at them, "You are also well endowed..."

Rayu then reached towards her chest.....And grabbed a lock of hair that fell over Rose's shoulder. "You hair....Is soft...Shiney..." Rayu's head snapped back to look at Rose in one sudden movement. After a few minutes of staring a small smile lit Rayu's face, and a rare shine came to her eyes. "I want to put you on my shelf..." Rayu didn't exactly know how weird that may have sounded to Rose, but again she didn't care. Her smile widened as she grabbed Rose's delicate hand in both of her small ones. "I am Rayu...."

~~~~

Armadura had continued his walk ignoring everything that the 7th Espada had said. It had been rather quiet in Los Noches. The other Espada were out. "Was it an order? Or are they free lancing?" He mumbled to himself. His eyes narrowed ever so slightly. Something wasn't right, his instincts told him so. As Armadura was walking he noticed a flower haging in the crevis of where the celing and the wall met. It belong to that Espada from earlier. The same spirit energy was coming from it. Maybe she has heard something. He had payed no attention to them earlier, but now....

He made an about face and walked back towards the direction of his fraccion and the 7th.

[Cosmic Angel]

Rosette leaped back when the girl pulled the lock of hair from her shoulder. Rosette could feel a swet drop fall from the back of her head. [ Geez this one is an odd ball, I better ditch this kid asap. The nerve of Armadura dumping this thing with me.] she tought. Rosette kneeled down infront of the purple haired girl. Rosette held a dull expression on her face, her half opened eyes was set on the girl. "Well hello Rayu, you were right my name is Rosette. You seem to appreciate the beautiful things in life ." Rosette placed both of her hands ontop of Rayu's head, she gently stroked Rayu's hair. " Because you think im so beautiful I will give you a gift."

Rosette removed her hands from Rayu's to reveal a green rose in her hair where her hands once was. The newly formed rosed looked identical to the rose that Rosette held in her own hair. "Enjoy." Rosette suddenly sensed Armadura making his way back in this direction. [ Dam he is coming back, ugh I dont feel like dealing with that cold, arrogant, overconfident bastard.] She tought. " Hey Rayu I have some stuff to do, so um..... enjoy your flower."

Rosette walked in the other direction,she picked up her walking speed. She was trying to leave the hallway before she had to deal with Armadura.
