The black shadowy figure of the god Asgawrath watched the the floating glowing spheres that floated around him as he stood within the dark Soul Wilderness. All the spheres showed recorded images of the hollowfying Mikoto on a rampage, lashing out at Ichigo while laughing hysterically before Ichigo was able to tear the mask off her face. Other recordings showed Hollow Mikoto's fight with Yammy.
"Interesting.." said Asgawrath. "Who would have expected that you have also progressed into the darkness as well as the light?"
Suddenly there was a quick blur behind Asgawrath, and Ulquiorra appeared, no longer in his Ressureccion form, bowing his head before Asgawrath. "My Lord....you summoned me?"
"Ulquiorra...I can see why Aizen relied so heavily on you.." said Asgawrath. "Your disregard for emotion and your great logical insight, is exactly what I needed.."
"How much has your former strength returned...Lord Asgawrath?" Ulquiorra asked.
"Quite a lot actually." said Asgawrath. "Unfortunately, the laws that govern us supreme dieties, restrict us in so many ways. How has the Railgun progressed...?"
"The hollow within her appears to have already started fighting for the possession of her body." said Ulquiorra. "However, it's still in the beginning stages. I do not believe that after Kurosaki's last interference, it will try to take over for a while...however, it will inevitably return, with even more force."
"Hmmm.." said Asgawrath. "We have toyed with Fairy Tail long enough....Ulquiorra...you are free to let them go....All except Mikoto Misaka....do not kill her....show her true despair..beat her within an inch of her life, then let her go....the darkness will not take hold unless she has known true despair...."
Ulquiorra nodded. "As you wish, Lord Asgawrath."
Asgawrath chuckled. "Everything is proceeding according to my design.."

Mikoto did not speak...she did not say a word...as she clung to Ichigo's back as he continued to flash step through the Soul Wilderness, his bankai's speed being incomprehensible to normal eyes. She felt dirty, contaminated, like some evil monster that ought to be put in a cage. She could still see the dark stain in Ichigo's black clothing that reavealed areas that were previously bleeding.
She had done that....she herself had tried to viciously murder and destroy everything around her. Ichigo kept telling her that it was her inner hollow, but that was no excuse. The fact that she had failed to control that monster in her was never an excuse.
"Hey Mikoto..." Ichigo said suddenly. "You know it's not your fault right?"
Mikoto remained silent. All she could think of was the blood she had seen on her hands after she had awoken from her inner world
"The answer is INSTINCT!! But you don't have those base instincts, you try to solve everything with logic! You're trying to fight with a sleeping dragon unwilling to wake up and bear her claws!! AND IT DOESN'T WORK MIKOTO!! And that's why I'm stronger then you!! And I refuse to submit to a Queen that's weaker then me!!'
The inner hollow's words echoed from Mikoto's memory repeatidly.
"Instinct.." Mikoto whispered. "Battle.....instinct....battle.."
Ichigo heard Mikoto's words, but did not respond. Instead he continued to flash through the wilderness. They were almost there, he could feel it...the waterfall that surrounded the borders of Soul Island's surrounding desert was only a few miles away....
