The Third Substitute Soul Reaper

Chapter 17: Learning to control my new form

    "Well it's about damn time you came back to us." Shinji said with relief. Before I realized it the hallowfied form that was controlling my actions while I had an internal conflict (literally). I take a step back and look around at everyone staring at me, "Do I have something on my face?" I ask as I start to look at myself closely. I see that I have a black and white looking armor from my feet up too my waist, the top half is tight and has like a cape that flowed behind me. Lisa handed me a mirror so I could see what else I was wearing to match my hair was now Shoulder length with streaks of red and blue my mask looked like it was broken on the right and only covered my left side of my face with two blue lines underneath it and I had one small horn on my forehead, and my zanpakuto was still the same. " Well is this permanent," I asked as I lost focus to only find this new form fall apart and I noticed my hair stayed the same looks like only one thing is permanent. "At least I don't have horns on me. So do you guys have any tips on how to use it?" I say confident that I can at least master it in a the little bit of time that I have. "All you have to do is concentrate on the mask it self but most of us can only use hallowfication for about 3 minutes. Mashiro is the only one of us who is able to use it for a longer period of time but we tell her when she needs to stop using it." Shinji tells me and then Ichigo comes running down the stairs afterwards. He grabs and hugs me close and a bit too tight. "C...can't....bre....breathe," I say slowly losing my breathe. "Oh sorry... I'm just happy that you're ok. Now when is it my turn?" He asks seeming a bit eager to start his transformation.

   "You will start as soon as Eric learns to shift into his hallowfied state. So Why don't we start and see how long you can use it and if you actually accel at it," Shinji states confident that I could do it right a way. Just as he was saying that I had already transformed ready to spare with Kensei. As I was ready to spar I sensed a presence that was slightly familiar near what felt like Jeannetta and Orihime at the park. I felt scared and worried as to of what would happen so I just fast stepped there just in time to stop a big guys attack aimed at the both of them. Behind me they both had their had put up their shields and I slightly fell back onto their shields.

    "Ulquiorra who are these three weaklings in from of me the mightiest arrancar Yammy." The ugly and horrible Yammy said. "these three are the ones we need now back up." the depressing one said who is named Ulquiorra. The depressing one walked towards the three of us and said that if we don't go with them to Hueco Mundo within 24 hrs. or they will kill those close to us. That is when Ichigo appeared in front of Ulquiorra and slashed at him, but Ulquiorra dodged it. "Time to go Yammy we are done here, and Ichigo I will see you again for a rematch properly maybe." Ulquiorra commanded. That's when I fell to my knees just feeling so helpless as to what I should do that's when I got up and grabbed both Orihime and Jeannetta and flash stepped all three of us back to Orihime's place. "So now what do we do?" Jeannetta asks worried. "I guess we go so we don't endanger those close to us." I say to both of the big breasted women. Just at that moment Ulquiorra appeared before us in Orihime's living room. "Well who is coming with before they say their goodbye's?" Asked Ulquiorra. Jeannetta and I both replied that we were going first but Orihime said that she will let him know around midnight. So he gave her a bracelet that lets her contact him when she has said her goodbyes and is ready to come with.

     "Well if you two would please step through the Garganta to Hueco Mundo please." Ulquiorra motioned to the black hole in the middle of the room. "Guess we will see you later on then Orihime," Jeannetta says to her love as she gives her a peck on the cheek. That's when I grabbed Jeannetta by the arm and pulled her through the Garganta. "This is the place I call home, Hueco Mundo," Ulquiorra said as we appeared in a big throne room. "Thought it would be a bit more depressing than I actually thought." I say as I start to see more of Hueco Mundo's inhabitant's that look similar to real people like Ulquiorra and Yammy. "So what are you guys called cause I was told that only Hallows lived here but you guys look like you're a whole lot stronger than those weak creatures?" I ask as I stare at the man on the throne who is known as Souske Aizen.
