I'm so late and sorry for the delay guys.

Anyway Let's Get On With It!

No Just standing there behind us is a human? No a Shinigami?!

The Shinigami is wearing what looks like an inverted soul reaper kimono, with a red sash around the waist and a large white coat with the collar popped.

"I am quite impressed you managed to defeat an arrancar Murasaki, their power varies but as you have witnessed it's great enough to rival and even overwhelm that of a Vasto Lorde." How the hell does he know my name?!

The shinigami proceeds to walk closer to us, "My name is Sōsuke Aizen," He looks over at Harribel with an apologetic look on his face "I gave that Arrancar his power but he lacked the intelligence to use it. He aimed to kill you with the power I gave him, for that I am sorry."

Aizen then begins to look the rest of us over. "All of you have been through alot, you all show great potential and most of all each of you have had to sacrifice one thing or another to get here today," once again Aizen locks eyes with Harribel "The power of sacrifice allows for many impossible things to occur." opening his arms Aizen looks like he is about to welcome a friend "Join me Harribel, all of you, I can give you the power you need to protect each other."

There is only one problem with Aizen's request, to accept his power is to cheat myself of my full potential. "I will accept your power Aizen, but only after I have reached my own limits." Aizen nods in agreement, "I look forward to meeting again once you've reached the peak of your abilities, but I insist that you come along with everyone else so you will know how to get to Las Noches." Annoyed to a degree at his persistence, but the shinigami does have a point I have no idea where this Las Noches is to even find him again. Scoffing, "Ok fine I'll come but only to see where Las Noches is." Aizen smiles as he instructs us to get close to him. After a few complaints and snide remarks from Sung-sun, Apacci, and Mila Rose we are all surrounding Aizen and then suddenly we are in front an absolutely massive wall. Walking forwards towards a doorway, Aizen looks over his shoulder, "Welcome to Las Noches!"

Saying that Las Noches was big would be the biggest understatement in the history of understatements. Once inside all of of us were surprised even further by the canopy of Las Noches, it looked as though we were in the land of the living during broad daylight. After a complicated answer about how the canopy works, a further explanation of arrancar's, and some boring small talk we stop in a large dimly lit empty room.

Turning towards us Aizen smiles as he reaches into his pocket, "This is the Hōgyoku," in Aizen's hand is a glass case and inside a glowing purple orb with milky white streaks in its surface. "The Hōgyoku has the power to shatter the barrier between hollow and shinigami, using the Hōgyoku I will turn each of you into Arrancars." Without saying anything Harribel steps forward to be first, Aizen nods in agreement.

I'm not sure how explain what's happening but Harribel is enveloped in bandages like a mummy, then encased in a glass box with an indention where the Hōgyoku is, and finally a blinding light followed by an overwhelming surge of spiritual wpressure that causes me to strain in order to remain on my feet while Appacci, Sung-Sun, and Mila Rose fall to the floor. As the light fades where the box used to be is now a very naked ,almost human looking, Harribel laying on the floor, with a strange yet wide sword that has a hollow center. Harribel could be confused with a human if it weren't for her mask fragment, which covers the lower half of her face down to where her nipples should be. Harribel's skin matches the golden tan brown that was around her eyes as a Vasto Lorde, and her hair is the same golden yellow.

Starting to stand Harribel looks up at the rest of us staring at her new form.

"Well how do I look?"

After a brief moment of silence Apacci is the first to say anything, excitedly prancing forward next to Harribel, "Lady Harribel you look amazing!" Even though I can't see the bottom half of Harribel's face I can tell she is smiling under her mask fragment, just from the brightness of her eyes.

"Thank you Apacci, I'm glad you like my new appearance. Now would you like to go next?" Apacci just stammers nervously before nodding, Harribel's eyes light up again as she looks over to Aizen for approval. Aizen smiles in agreement as he stands from his throne and walks over to Apacci, "Are you ready?" Apacci stands bravely sure of her decision, "Yes." Aizen does the same thing for everyone else, turning them all into arrancar. After putting some clothes on, Aizen directs Harribel and the others to a room of their own.

Alone in the throne room I quickly get bored and begin to look around the seemingly empty room. Aside from the throne itself the room actually is empty. Time seems crawl almost painfully slow as I fail to entertain myself.

Done waiting I get up to leave the way I came in, but right as I get to the corridor Aizen walks in cutting me off. Startled I quickly step back to let him pass, Aizen smiles at me as he walks past, "Have patience Murasaki, not everyone can move as fast you do." Returning the smile I walk back towards the center of the room.

"Ok Aizen what is it you would like to talk to me about?" Both of us are sitting, Aizen in his throne, I in the middle of the room. "What I would like to know how is it that an adjucha such as yourself was able to defeat and mortality wound an arrancar that was giving a powerful Vasta Lorde such as Harribel trouble?" Now that Aizen has pointed it out I start to realize how impossible what I did seemes.

Honestly I never put much thought into what I did to save Harribel, I just did it on a spur of the moment. Thinking back to the fight, everything was crystal clear and time seemed slowed down to a crawl making all of my attacks as precise as possible. After few seconds Aizen speaks up answering his own question, "I believe that your true strength lies in your speed, I believe it was your overwhelming speed that took that arrancar by surprise and made it impossible for him to avoid or even block any of your attacks," smiling with a face full of interest, Aizen continues to flatter me. "In my time here in Hueco Mundo I have only seen one person who could possibly match your speed, but he is already an arrancar, but you are so full of potential. I have no doubt in my mind that you will reach Vasta Lorde and when you do, you are more than welcome to come back."

With that I thank Aizen for the invitation and stand turning to leave, but before I leave the room I stop, a single question on my mind. "Hey Aizen do you know a Baraggan Louisenbairn?" Aizen, my surprise sighs, a look of disappointment on his face, "Actually I do, he is a promising recruit for my Espada. Baraggan took a while to let go of his pride but even he could not deny the difference in our power."

After leaving the giant palace I look out over the vast nothingness, closing my eyes I focus my reiatsu to reach out and try and sense Grimmjow. There, 200 km, 69 degrees west of my current location, that's where Grimmjow and his entourage are. The best part is that there are several fairly strong hollows I could bump into for a quick snack. Excited by the prospect of a good hunting , I can't help but smile in anticipation as I start my way towards Grimmjow.

It doesn't take long for me to find my first detour. Looking around it feels like someone is hiding behind a bunch of large of boulders. As I approach the rock formation a giant frog tears it's head from the sand and launches its barbed tongue at me. Quickly I jump backwards and to the left evade the tongue, turning to face the frog ready to move if necessary, the frog seems to be trying to read me as it keeps staring. The frog jumps at me much faster than I anticipated, narrowly avoiding the frogs giant form and a second tongue shot. Landing across from me the frog continues to watch my every move. Suddenly the frog backs out of their defense crouch and tilts their head to the side, in a feminine voice the frog calls out to me. "Hey, are you female too?"

The chance for a good fight over, I can't help but hang my head in disappointment before answering, "Yea." I know that was pretty blunt, but not being able to fight really killed my mood. Surprisingly the frog girl excitedly jumps forward at me tackling into the sand. "Ok so my name is Yukino Kiaba, what about you stranger?" Looking up at the frog smothering me I regret not avoiding her hug, but I can can't be mad at Yukino she's adorable. "Murasaki Purazuma, you know Yukino now that I think about it, you're pretty capable and having someone to talk to would be nice." Yukino's eyes light up, "Wait you want me to come with you?!" Smiling I nod as Yukino begins to squeeze me into a hug, "I'M SO EXCITED!" I noticed.

After a few hours Yukino and I finally caught up to Grimmjow, he was just finishing a hunt himself when he saw me I swear I saw the beginnings of a smile creep on his muzzle as we locked eyes. Jogging the rest of the way over I tackle Grimmjow playfully, as we come tumbling to a stop I pin him to the ground. Smiling up at me Grimmjow fakes hurt pretending that he can't breath, "Your heavy!" Going along with his little game I play hurt by the comment about my weight. Laughing I get off his chest. Once back on his feet Grimmjow looks over at me, "How you doin' kitten?" Taking the question a bit seriously, I take a second to think of an answer, "I'm doing great actually, I now have the beginnings of my very own pack. How about yourself?" Glancing over to the others, he looks bit disappointed. "I'm fine it's just that the others won't be getting any stronger." Puzzled I ask for clarification, "They claim that they have reached the peak of their strength." Thinking back to what Aizen said and how much stronger Sung-sun, Mila Rose, and Apacci had gotten by becoming arrancar's. "Hey Grimmjow, I might know someone who can help."

After explaining everything about the Hōgyoku, Aizen and arrancar's to him, Grimmjow just looks blankly as if he's in deep thought. Suddenly Grimmjow looks up at me, "If what you're saying is true then why aren't you an arrancar?" Why did he have to ask that question first? "Because I felt that I would be cheating myself if I used Aizen to get stronger when I was not done attaining power on my own." Grimmjow seems to chuckle lightly at my answer. "So you too huh, Murasaki?" Smiling deviously at the panther "How about a little wager then?" Eyeing me curiously Grimmjow matches my expression. "What did you have in mind before I say yes?" Immediately I stifle a laugh remembering our last bet and how Grimmjow lost because he didn't understand the rules and wouldn't ask me to explain. "Ok so the first person to become an arrancar has to wear cat ears for a while after the other becomes an arrancar, deal?" After a moment to think Grimmjow just shrugs in agreement. "I don't see what could go wrong, at least it's not as bad as last time." Excited I start to prance in place, "Alright then it's official,let the games begin!"

Lol I swear they are just friends :D

Anyway Till next time weirdos
