"How about we check on your sisters?
I bet they are tearing each other apart even as we speak.
Let's stop them and... go to the beach I guess.
It should help take the edge off of everyone."

Sofia looks up at you with sparkling eyes.
"Can I help with the packing?"

You smile but she can't really see that, instead she is aware of your happiness purely by the look of your eyes.
Patting her head you speak up softly.
"Sure.
Go and pack the picnic basket, I'll gather the other stuff."

Like a bullet fired from a gun Sofia takes off in the direction of the kitchen while you go ahead and start packing all the essential items in a duffel bag.
Just as you gathered the last of the items you wanted Sofia rushes in with a basket about half her size.
"It is finished Mother!"

"Good work.
I'm just about done as well."

Once all the things were packed you went ahead and changed into your swimsuit and so did Sofia.
While your daughter prefers yellow, one piece swimsuits your choice of attire is a bit more revealing.
Wearing your white bikini with pink tribal patterns strewn across it you speak up.

"That should do it.
Now then... let's see what the girls are up to."

Leaving the house you didn't even bother to scan the surrounding area.
Finding the Cuatro Bestias is as easy as listening for the loudest source of noise.
Within only a few minutes you manage to locate the four girls and the sight that unfolds before you is fairly typical.
While Apacci is busy fighting with Mila Rose, Sung-Sun is occupied with quietly giggling at the two.
Their fight is only interrupted when they snap at the third girl to shut up.
Looking at Alex sitting in a corner you see that she's quite bored of this charade. She probably realized that trying to stop them is futile.

"Hey there Alex.
I see everything is normal."

"Oh, hey Tia.
How are you?
...
Huh? What's with the get-up?"

"I thought Sofia and I could use some relaxation.
Care to join us?"

"Hmmmmm....
I dunno. I'd love to but these three are unbearable.
I swear it's like talking to a brick wall!"

You nod in agreement with her.
"Quite.
Do you want me to lend a hand?"

"Sure. Guess if they listen to anyone it's you."

Walking up too the three bickering girls their attention shifts from one another to you.
Their eyes widen in surprise and Apacci speaks up while still yanking on Roses cheeks.
"Oh! MISTRESS?!"

"GET OFF OF ME YOU STUPID DEER!"
Mila Rose kicks her away.

You chuckle at the familiar sight as you speak up.
"What did I tell you about fighting?"

"That... we should stop..."
Apacci drags her feet across the ground in shame.

"Well, I guess it was too much to ask for anyway.
But... now that you stopped...
How about you come with us for a while?
Sofia and I are going to the beach to unwind a little."

The three look at each other with mixed feelings.
"Well.... as much as I'd like to-"
Speaks Apacci.
"we don't have swimsuits or anything..."

"Way ahead of you!"
Speaks up Alex and drops four bags packed to the brim.

With little reason not to follow you the girls stopped bickering and took up their respective bags that Alex got for them.
Satisfied with the little speedsters work you spoke up.

"Then it's decided.
Let's go girls."

"Aye aye!"
They spoke up unanimously.


Merely a few years ago Hueco Mundo had no natural water to speak of.
And one could argue that even the one available now is also artificial, however even that pales to Vanaheims beach.
Originally intended as a lake for hollows whose bodies were based on aquatic life forms the basin was dug out manually and pumped full of heavily purified the water is circulated and cleansed of pollution at a constant rate.
But once a necessity it may have been for those whose skin goes dry without ample moisture the lake quickly attracted quite a lot of "tourists".
So a plan was hatched and the soft soil was quickly replaced with the regular sand found almost everywhere in Hueco Mundo and the lake was quickly converted into a small artificial beach.
With food stands and bars dotting the surrounding area the place really feels like a regular beach with just one exception.
Due to the perpetual night no foliage is needed to block the non existent UV rays, so at times the place can feel quite desolate.

"ALL RIGHT!"
Apacci screams up in joy.
"Looks like we got the whole place just for ourselves!"

She observes and indeed, barely anybody is at the beach this time.
Most shops didn't even bother to open up for that very reason.

After unfolding your chair, setting down the towels on the ground and packing out the other stuff the four girls go ahead and enter the nearby changing booths to put on their respective swimwear.
Once they are out all Hell breaks loose.

Sand castles are being built, water is being splashed and the once serene beach becomes the warzone of the Cuatro Bestias.
But unlike before this is all in good fun...
Well. Except when Apacci went ahead and untied the top of Mila Rose, then things got serious once again.

Allowing yourself a quiet chuckle you look at your girls having fun.

Looking at Sofia you see her testing the waters.

Walking up to your daughter you see that the water just about reaches her ankle as she stares at the waves.
"Found something interesting?"

She shakes her head.
"No.
The water is just a bit cold."

There is some truth to her words.
While heating the lake was deemed impossible an effort was made so that it's at a temperature that people can still enjoy in short bursts.
But for you that doesn't really matter.
Reaching out you start holding Sofias hands.

"Come.
It's only bad at first.
You get used to it if you do it quick enough!"

Gently but quickly you begin pulling her.
She doesn't try to resist and puts her trust in you.
And she's in with a splash.

There is a brief yelp from her but her surprise quickly fades as her body adapts to the cold temperature.
Holding her by the waist she begins paddling almost immediately.
Laughing a bit you let go of her and she floats on her own.

"Not bad.
But you can do better.
Watch mommy and learn!"

Taking a deep breath you dive underwater and Sofia buries her head under the waves to follow your movement.
You expected her to do so, the water shouldn't be too harsh on her eyes and it's better if she can see exactly how every inch of your body moves as you swim underwater.
Turning around underwater you look up and see the eyes of your daughter staring at you.
She raises her head above the water to take an unusually deep breath.
Then she takes the dive.

Following your movements to the letter her speed is already much better even if she's nowhere near as nimble as you.
Eventually she reaches your depth and looks at you.
Smiling and giving her the hand signal for A-OK you begin swimming and wave for her to follow you.

Picking up the pace you swim side by side with your daughter.
To her credit she's picking up on the intricacies of the water much quicker than you anticipated.
However just as you are about to congratulate her with a thumbs up you see that she stops.
Closing her bright, golden eyes she begins to focus for a bit.
A blue aura begins surrounding her and it appears as if her reiatsu is causing a great many bubbles to form around her.
She swings both of her arms as she twirls around in place.

A sudden sensation begins to overcome you.
Just as Sofia stops twirling you sense the underwater currents shift ever so slightly.
An underwater wave that seemingly originated from Sofia washes over you, not powerful enough to move you but enough to detect.
You frown at this.

Her ability to manipulate water seems to be growing stronger as she gets older.
She doesn't even need her Resurrección to do it anymore.

Still underwater Sofia looks at you expectantly.
You point up and begin swimming for air.

Once your head pops out of the waves you begin breathing once more and Sofia quickly follows you.
She looks at you half confused.
"What's wrong mom?"

"Nothing.
Just wanted to talk."

"About what?"

"What you just tried.
I know that you just want to test your powers but you should be more considerate.
If you ended up producing more powerful waves and if more people were in here... you could've injured someone."

She nods.
"I understand mother...
I won't do anything foolhardy, I promise."

You rub Sofias head.
"Good to hear it.
Now... how about another round?"

"Will you be okay?
You can't breathe underwater without releasing your sword."

You boop her on the nose for that.
"You've got quite the nerve young lady!
I'm still the best swimmer around for a reason.
I'm more concerned about you keeping up with me!"

But just as you finish something catches your attention.
Looking down below you bubbles can be seen rising from the deep. A lot of them.
And they show no sign of stopping at all.

"It's... circling around us...
A bubble net?!"

Just as you realize that a figure or more correctly figures emerge from deep down.
A great many tentacles emerge from underwater and just as you realize what exactly these things are their owner also makes an entrance.
The being speaks up but while his face is underwater his speech is heavily distorted and impossible to decipher.
But as he pops out fully it becomes much more clear.

"Ohmygod! Ohmygod! Ohmygod!"
The many tentacled arrancar speaks up.
"I can't believe my luck!
It IS you!"

"Erm... do I know you?"
You raise an eyebrow at the mysterious individual.

"Oh gods no Lady Harribel!
But I do know you! Heck, every water based hollow knows who the Queen of Waves is!
But oh... where are my manners!
I am Innsmouth, just some guy that felt the need to stretch out all of his limbs for a change.
And I must say! It is an HONOR to meet you Lady Harribel!"

"Well erm... it's... nice to meet you too."

As you exchange pleasantries Sofia looks at the tentacle sporting hollow and then back at the water.
"I like his bubbles."

"Hmmm... this gives me an idea."
You speak up and turn to the arrancar.
"Hey, may I ask a favor from you?"

"Naturally!
Please, ask anything!"

"This is my daughter Sofia.
I'm currently teaching her how to swim.
Care to help out? Your bubbles may be useful."

"It... would be... a pleasure Lady Harribel!"

Meanwhile in a parallel dimension:

Soul King Palace, Hōōden.

The "kingdom" of Oetsu Nimaiya, the Toshin, the sword god.
Striking a bargain with him you were brought here, or more accurately were allowed entrance by the owner of this segment of the royal realm.
You and Nash, the arrancar whose sword Oetsu wishes to experiment on, look at his supposed "palace".

"This is a dump!"
Nash speaks up, saving you the trouble to voice your disappointment.

"RIGHT?!"
Oetsu bursts out in tears.
"Do you also think so Na-chan?!
Do you understand my feelings?"
Nash gives an awkward nod as Oetsu grabs him by the shoulder and shakes him.

The sword smith looks at you expectantly.
"What do you think Ka-chan?!
Do you also agree with me?"

"Yeah...
This looks like shit."

The sword god, shocking as it may be, breaks out in tears.
"I know!"
He begins furiously pointing away from the shed that is the Hōōden.
"Look!"

Upon turning away you see a frankly MASSIVE building, something more similar to what you imagined when the sword god said "My palace".
Atop the building glittering with gold and neon lights is a sign, although it's currently backwards, "SUPER GALAXY HOODEN".
Turning back you can see the shinigami weeping.

"Ya see-"
But before he could continue he is violently propelled forward by an unseen force.

As the shinigami flies off into the distance you and Nash turn to look at your attacker who turns out to be a girl with an odd outfit and a red mohawk.
Looking at the feet with which she kicked Oetsu you can see that she is in fact barefoot.

"Fucking pervert..."
She mutters to herself and begins walking to the Toshin.
Once there she begins kicking the ever loving shit out of Oetsu.
"STUPID CUNT!
WHAT GAVE YOU THE BRIGHT IDEA TO BRING HOLLOWS HERE?!
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE?! NOW THE MONK WILL HAVE YOUR ASS FOR DINNER AND BY EXTENSION OURS AS WELL!"

Once she finishes she lets out an exhausted sigh and looks at you.
"The fuck are you looking at?"

Reflexively both of you tear your eyes away from the spectacle and start whistling as Oetsu struggles up.
"Ow ow ow...
You're too cruel Mera-chan!
We're just havin' a bit of fun!"

"FUN MY ASS!"
She snaps at him and then turns to you.
"By any chance this ass didn't tell you about the MASSIVE harem he's keeping at his place, did he?"
You both look at Oetsu, you with disgust and Nash with a bit of envy.

"Come on maaan! It's not like dat!"

"Shut your mouth! Don't you dare to try and save face now!"
Mera snaps at him then turns to you.
"So... the hell are you doing here?
Do you realize that our orders are to exterminate everyone that enters without proper clearance?!"

"But Oetsu invited us."
You reply.

"That doesn't matter one bit!
The head was always the monk!"

"Come ooooon Mera-chan!"
Oetsu clasps his hands together in prayer.
"At least let's discuss things inside!"

Mera lets out a "Tch" and then takes her feet off of Oetsu so he can stand up.
He dusts himself off and looks at you.
"Well then... let's not waste any more time my dudes.
Please, come in!"

Upon entering the shed you immediately notice that things aren't as they seem.
First you notice the space fuckery that's going on around here because the shack is much more spacious than its exterior indicates.
Second it appears as if the entire interior is made out of stone, making it incredibly sturdy.

And last you are greeted to the "harem" of Oetsu.
Five girls, including "Mera-chan" jump out to reveal themselves.
They all jump on Oetsu and bring him to the ground once more.

"Awwright!
Hey, Mera!
Are these the guys we're supposed to beat up?"
The tall blonde speaks up.

"Hold your horses Hasuka.
APPARENTLY this genius had the bright idea of actually inviting them..."

"Awww... so no killing?
Bummer."
The little girl with the odd looking eyes also chimes in.

Oetsu struggles up from the restraint of the girls and speaks up.
"Ahem!
Allow me to make introductions!
These are the Sword Five! My Assistants!
They ain't like the other girls back at the Galaxy Hōōden!"

You pause for a moment before speaking up.
"So the girl was saying the truth...
You do have a harem!"

"I-It ain't like that dog!
I swear I ain't doin' NUFFIN' with dem!
I just prefer the company of cute girls! Is that really such a sin?!"
But as he keeps rambling on the sword god composes himself.
"Erm... What I meant to say..."
He turns to his girls.
"Ladies, these fine niggas are my guests.
So no killin'."

"Oh..."
The tall girl with the black hair speaks up.
"It appears our master has finally lost it.
Looks like it's curtains for us."
She begins weeping.

Oetsu just waves her off and looks at Nash.
"Don't even worry about her.
She cries about everythan'...
Now my dude. Could you hand over your Zanpakuto for a bit?"

Reluctantly Nash looks at you and once you give him a nod he hands his sword to Oetsu.
"It better not have a dent in it Shinigami..."

"Truuuust me bud.
I'll treat it like my firstborn child!"
After quickly examining the sword once more he begins humming.
"Hmmmm... yes...
That's no good."
He turns to his assistants.
"Girls could you start makin' the preparations?
And you! Na-chan, could you go back to my storage area and grab some errr.... steel.
Yeah... that. Steel."

Nash looks at him in confusion.
"Why don't you send your assistants?"

"Cause they need to set up the forge!
Don't ask such stupid questions!"

Nash raises an eyebrow at that.

On a different note, what would you guys say to bringing back the espada rankings? It seems like a good idea to properly know who's the strongest against who and set up what is essentially a "high guard" for Vanheim that we can call upon in case of emergencies, which is starting to look more and more likely. It'd also be bring back a level of competitiveness between the most powerful of our society which in turn encourages them to get stronger. Plus it'd be cool to see the line up.

With a sigh you rub the bridge of your nose.
"Look Nash... just... do as he says.
We've wasted enough time as is."

"Erm... if you say so Sir."
Then Nash made his way to the designated door and opened it.
"What the Hell?!"
As soon as he opened the door he was faced with nothing but a VERY deep black chasm and nothing else.

But before he could react more he felt someone delivering a powerful kick to him.
With a loud scream of surprise but not necessarily pain Nash fell down the trap door into a dark, dark hole.
Scratching his head in pain Nash looked up.

"HEY!
WHAT THE HELL?!"

As you hear this going down you immediately reach for your sword but before being able to draw it you find no less than four zanpakuto pointed at you.
Your neck, heart, Saketsu, Hakusui all of your vital points are targeted at the same time.
You can't even move an inch without at least one of them killing you.
With divine hatred you stare at Oetsu.
"What is the meaning of this?"

"Sorry Ka-chan.
Can't have you goin' on a rampage now can we?
But let me explain..."
He points his finger up.
"Didn't you notice anythin' strange goin' on around here?"

"I did... why?"

"Well... there is quite a lot more that you didn't see!
First off: I am the only shinigami around here!
All of my girls are Zanpakuto!"

This really doesn't surprise you all that much, given who he is and your previous experience with Zanpakuto spirits.

"And second... did you really think I'd just do this thing for free?
Well let me tell you somethin'! I AM the god of swords!
And my swords... are not for just anyone!
I stay true to my words Ka-chan! I'll take a look at his sword but WHAT I'll do depends on how Na-chan does at this little... test."
Then Oetsu sets the Zanpakuto aside so that you can see it clearly.
"And I must say I'm VERY interested to see how a hollow will fare against... them."

Deeply inhaling you manage to calm your nerves enough to not start attacking the shinigami immediately.
"If anything happens to my man-"

"He will walk away alive and without any lasting injury.
This I promise.
Now... how about you let go of that scary lookin' monster over there?"

Closing your eyes and considering what he just said you comply and let go of Basilisco.
Almost immediately afterwards the 4 Zanpakuto also sheathe their blades.
Cracking your neck in frustration you look at Oetsu.

"So... what kind of test is this?
Who are "they"?"

"Why don't you check it out for yourself?
It'll be easier to explain."

Doing as the Toshin said you made your way to the entrance of the hole where Nash fell.
Looking down you see the arrancar surrounded and driven against the wall by "them".
Pale beings with no distinct features to speak of other than the two mouths, complete with teeth and tongues, instead of eyes.

From the bottom of your soul a voice echoes.
"It... can't be."
The Hogyoku speaks up.

"They are called Asauchi... my greatest creations."
Oetsu speaks up.
"I suppose you'll need a history lesson.
Basically these things are handed to every shinigami upon entry to the academy and these are the things that develop into Zanpakuto.
That's basically it. Quite ingenious don't ya think?"
Nimaiya smiles with a shit eating grin.

You look at the beasts as they gang up on Nash and frown.
"They are attacking him?"

"Of course!
After all, they are made to kill your kind.
So it's understandable that they are a bit... agitated.
Or incredibly pissed. Either or.
It's these cats that'll judge Na-chan."

You pause for a moment and look at the poor arrancar that's still running away from the beasts.
In the meantime the Hogyoku begins speaking.

"This... madman."

"They feel like... Hao."
You whisper as softly as you can.

"Precisely.
Be careful Young Master... this man... he must know much more than he lets on.
If he could do this... he must truly be a master. In more ways than one.
Because crude as they may be I never imagined a mortal could replicate this."

"What do you mean?"

"They are... functionally identical. Hao and them.
Only their scale is different and their function.
Hao is meant to take in the world so that I can experience it like you do.
These only take in their respective master... Their development is much more limited than mine or Haos.
But limited it may be it is still hard to believe the Sword God came this far..."

Frowning at this you look at Nash who is still too scared to engage the Asauchi.
Meanwhile Oetsu is walking away with a brief yawn.
"You may wanna sit down.
This could take a while."

"Tch...
As if!"
You scoff at him and grab hold of Basilisco.
After removing him from your belt you slam the blade down tip first so it makes a loud clanging noise.
Nash quickly turns to look at you.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dPaVk4G1jg

You only shout one word. One order.
"FIGHT!"

Hearing your command was all the encouragement Nash needed.
Quickly he took off his suppressing cloak and tossed it away.
Raising his hand he pointed at the Asauchi and fired off a quick Cero at them.
To both of your shock his reiryoku practically washed over them but it didn't even harm them.

Realizing that energy based attacks are useless Nash charged them with fury in his eyes.
As he punched a couple Asauchi you could hear the words of the Hogyoku.

"It's pointless...
These creatures are like Hao. Indestructible."

"There must be a way!"
You mutter.

I forget, does Hao have the mouth eyes as well?

>>1724270
>>1724280
>>1724305
Say what you will, I genuinely believe it's a good idea to set up an espada and fracion system. Aizen is a lot of things, but he was pretty smart with how he set up his meritocratic warrior system.

The Asauchis face distorts as the arrancar downstairs pummels them but like a sponge they revert to how they originally were once the pressure is gone.
At first this escaped Nash but after a couple tries he also realized this.
Soon enough he found the white figures surrounding from all side and they began their counter offensive.

Though visibly not too strong their numbers is still great.
A single punch may be too weak to harm an arrancar but try a thousand and even the most resilient will feel it.
As the bodies pile on him Nash begins screaming furiously and starts building up his reiatsu.
With a massive explosion the Asauchi on top of him are sent flying all over the place, except one.

Overcome with equal parts bloodlust and desperation Nash grabs the Asauchi by the throat and raises it.
His teeth practically glow as he leans in.

"That... might actually do it."
So says the Hogyoku.

But as you frown at the thought that Nash will have to devour the Asauchi in order to "win" you notice something.
With his saliva practically flowing like water and the old killer instinct awakening in Nashs eyes he actually stops before taking a bite out of the creature.
An inch away from the neck of the Asauchi Nash regains control over his actions.
He looks at the beast that despite having no features shows signs of fear.
Pulling slowly away from the creature Nash sighs and slams him against the ground.

"No...
This soldier of Hueco Mundo won't sink so low."
He raises his fists.
"Now come at me!
I'll take on all of you!"

But nobody came.
The Exequias member looked around in confusion and saw all the Asauchi keeping their distance.
However as he is looking around in confusion the Asauchi he just tossed away stands up and... kneels down.
With an open palm facing upward the Asauchi raised its hand to the arrancar.

Quite a bit taken back by this Nash doesn't seem to react.
Eventually however he decides to touch the Asauchis hand at which point it appears to start molting.
The Asauchis new head bears many spiral patterns, similar to that of a brain and several lidless eyeballs.

"Hey Oetsu!"
You speak up.

"Huh?"

"He's finished!"

"BULLSHIT!"
He hurries to the edge of the pit and his eyeballs almost break his sunglasses as they bulge out.
"H-holy shit..."

>Congratulate Nash
>Punch Oetsu in the face
>What now?
>Other? (write-in)

>>1724450
No.
He has eyes like the Soul King.

But his skin is almost exactly like an Asauchi plus the purple markings

Great work, my dear mook.

Where'd everyone go?

Now it's your time to roll the dice for Nash.
Let's see how successful the experiment is

Not wanting to risk your hide by jumping down you instead give a hand to Nash as he's trying to climb out.
Once he's up on his own feet you pat him on the shoulder.
"Good work soldier!"

"Thanks Sir!"
He turns around to look at the Asauchi that keeps following him.
"Erm... what should we do with him?
I don't even like dogs not to mention... weird, white... things."

You turn to Oetsu who is still trying to recover from his initial shock.
"What now?"
You ask the sword god.

"Well... erm...
That's kinda what I had in store for the day..."
He turns to his girls.
"LADIES!
Prepare the forge!"

With that said Oetsu began tying up his hair and took off his sunglasses while the girls got into position.
The black haired girl began complaining that she actually had to start working so she cried... and she cried until she filled an entire stone cube with water, no doubt for Oetsu to cool the blade.
At the same time Mera stepped ahead and began spewing a stream of fire from her mouth.

The blonde girls hair began extending and grabbed the Asauchi beside Nash and rolled it up into a nice white ball.
While this was going on Oetsu made his way to the forge and the bandaged girl tore out one of her teeth and fashioned it into a hammer for the Toshin.
And the little girl... well you have no idea what she was doing or if indeed she did anything.

But none of that really mattered as Oetsu picked up the Zanpakuto of Nash and began heating it up in Meras flames.
With his new hammer he began striking the hot mass of iron.
Maybe your eyes were deceiving you or maybe Oetsu is really just that good but it appeared as if the Zanpakuto was being altered at the atomic level by his hammer, working out any and all impurities while molding it however the god desires.
In between two hammering sessions he looked back at his other aides.

"Hasuka! Now!"

"Got it!"

The girl with the two pigtails who was holding the Asauchi in the air promptly dropped it onto the forge.
All the heat that was in Nash' zanpakuto quickly got transferred to the Asauchi and you finally realize what the idea of the Toshin is.
He wants to fuse together a shinigami and an arrancar blade.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Usahuq4KN4

Watching Oetsu work was like watching a painter creating a masterpiece right before your eyes.
The two very distinct materials slowly became one through repeated heating and hammering.
Once the two were worked together he attempted to recreate the original form of the blade.
After the weapon took shape Oetsu began tempering the blade by quickly heating it up and quenching it in the water beside him.

At one point in the forging process he turned around.
"Na-chan!
Care to take a closer look?"
Nervously Nash took a few steps closer and looked at his new weapon.
"How do you feel?"

"S-strange..."

"Okay! Now Na-chan, listen carefully!
This 'ere sword is gonna get heated once more!
When that happens you yank it free and jam it into the sea below us!"
Nash nervously looks down and actually notices that the entire forging area is suspended above a literal sea.
"But be careful! Too soon and ya gon' burn yourself, too late and it'll be too weak!
Trust your guts and do it at just the right moment!"

The blade is freed from the flaming inferno and Meras fire subsides.
Glaring at the red, hot mass of iron before him Nash can feel his hand twitching.
He hears a faint voice coming from the blade...

"Now..."

His hand moves instantly and more out of reflex than any conscious effort on his part.
Though the blade is still quite hot his híerro manages to mitigate the burns.
Thrusting the sword into the water you can see the liquid rapidly evaporating and creating a powerful stream of wind.
Oetsus usual shit eating grin returns as he looks at his new creation.

"Niiiiice!"

The blade doesn't look different at all and yet... something about it feels different and Nash feels it as well.
But before anyone could ask questions Nimaiya begins clapping.

"Excellent work Na-chan!
It's not always someone makes an actual dent in the sea level!
I'm impressed!"

"Thank you...
What now?"

Oetsu lets out another shit eating grin.
"I have no fuckin' clue!"
Then as he undid his hair the Toshin walked up to him and started leading him away.
"Let's find out, shall we?"

As the Toshin leads away Nash you see that both of them are quite interested in the result of the experiment.
However you also notice something else.
While four out of the five Zanpakuto girls have gathered up and are talking about the forging and its surprising result one of the girls is all by her lonesome.

Mera, the red head with quite a temperament is sitting alone on a rock and drinking a bottle of apple juice.
It's true that she did by far the most work out of them but it's still surprising that the others ignore her so much.
You kinda feel bad for her since her powerful and steady flame is what allowed for the sword to be forged.

Thinking that you'll have plenty of time to check that sword out VERY thoroughly either in the arena or in Yatas lab you decided to go to Mera instead.
Noticing your advancement she pops the straw out of her mouth.

"What do you want?"

"I just came to say thanks."

She raises an eyebrow at that.
"For?"

"Your work.
I owe you for your service.
If it weren't for you then maybe my subordinate would've suffered greatly."

"Tch...
Why are you thanking me for that?
That's my job!"

You look at her and chuckle a bit.
"Let's just say that I know a thing or two about people not appreciating your work once they think it's only natural you do it.
Not that I'm complaining or anything..."
You look at her as she works the straw back in her mouth with only her tongue, her eyes never moving away from you.
"Mind if I sit down?"

She shrugs at that.
"I don't care.
Do as you please."

"Thanks."
Once sitting down next to her you unholster your blade and set it aside.
Meras attention turns to it.
"Interested in my sword?"

"It's strange.
This... thing... it's like a window looking right at the uncanny valley."

"Is it that bad?"

"Yeah...
Let's say you see a human.
It looks like a regular person, it acts like one but it has no emotions, no thoughts, no soul.
You'd fuckin' freak out."

You shrug at that.
"I suppose you're right."
But with that you've ran out of topics to discuss and now the silence was getting quite awkward.
In an attempt to strike up a conversation you try to find a good subject.
"So... where did all your previous hostility go?"

"I'm tired dipshit.
That's where it went.
Forging always takes a lot out of me."

"I saw that.
You've put in quite a lot more work than the others.
But erm... do you mind if I ask a few questions?"

She shrugs.
"I don't. But the boss might.
And I'm not obliged to answer."

"I know that Oetsu forges all the shinigami swords.
Does that mean the same goes for you too?"

"Pretty much."

"And how long have you been doing this?"

"A while now.
But not since the beginning if that's what you're getting at."

"And before you?
Did he have some other method of heating the blade?"

"No. It was always a Zanpakuto, with maybe the first few swords being the exceptions.
I don't know how he did those.
But he always plucks out a few swords that he likes and are suited for the job."

You frown at that.
"Do you... have limited time here?"

"Huh? Oh no... no. At least I think so.
The old ones just had enough.
You see... when a shinigami dies so does their Zanpakuto. Or so do the shinigami think.
Truth is that Pervy Smith over there snatches it back.
They are usually turned into Asauchi but the ones he likes, pretty girls as you can guess, he just keeps.
And from those girls he chooses his aides."

You pause at that.
The awkwardness is practically visible.
"Yeah... about that...
Does he?"

"Heh... if he did I would be the first to burn his nuts off.
No. He said the truth.
He just likes to surround himself with them."

>>1724976

Well that's kinda creepy.

Not the pretty girls thing, the whole, delete the personality of a sword and turn it back into a mindless husk for the next poor bastard to imprint on thing.

>>1724997
Aye, but what else did'ya expect from them?

>>1724997
Last thread Oetsu revealed that he also does the same with shinigami and that the first swords were made from hollows.

This is just the tip of the iceberg

>>1725000

Ya know, thinking back on it and considering all the research I've done previously for this quest when it came time for voting I really shouldn't have been surprised.

Sometimes though the sheer, What The Fuck factor, of S.S. just smacks you in the face like a pissed off salmon.

>>1725016
Yeh, that's what happens when you've got powerful crazy old immortals shackled to low tier ghostbusting for eons.
They get... kooky

"Okay douchebag...
Now I've answered enough of your questions.
How about you answer me for a change?"

"Shoot."

"Why are you here?
Not in general! But here here.
On this rock. Talking to me. And not to the master."

You shrug.
"My guess is that even if I went there it's unlikely your "Master" would even let me close to Nash...
He seems to have way too big of a hard-on right now.
And I thought it'd be easier to socialize if there is only one of you."

"Tch.
Smartass."
Mera returns to her juicebox and quickly finishes it.
Then she gives you a serious look.
"Hey!"

"What?"

"Where are you guys from?"

You scratch your head at that.
"That's pretty obvious.
Hueco Mundo.
Why?"

"Because... something doesn't sit right with you.
For starters you're arrancar and last time I checked there was like... five of those in the world.
And you have clothes, an army, all that shit!
How did you get all that from that wasteland?!"

"They are keeping you in the dark it seems.
Us hollows have been evolving quite fast lately... alongside Hueco Mundo.
What you're referring to doesn't exist anymore.
We are a community now, people."

Mera pauses for a bit.
She doesn't show any sign of being shaken but she probably is.
"Well... that explains my second and third questions.
Never thought I'd see the day a hollow DOESN'T eat something right in front of him.
Heck, an Asauchi CHOSE him right after that! Not even in my nightmares could that happen."

'To be fair... I think that was pure luck.
Nash was just lucky... and a good man to boot.
Not everyone is like him back there."

"This still smells like bullshit to me.
Hell, this may just be the most insane day of my life..."
Mera leans back and lays on the rock.
"Hollows... with humanity... crazy..."

She keeps looking up, lost in thought.
In the meantime you try to come up with something to snap her out of it.

>So... you were somebodies Zanpakuto before?
>Hard to believe? Want to see pictures?
>Keep dropping more bombs on her, like your friendly status with the Seireitei

Rummaging through your pockets you take out a small binder from one of them.
"Hard to believe huh?
Want to see some pictures?"

Mera groans.
"I swear if all of this was just an excuse for you to show me pictures of your kid I'll fuckin-
Oh god it was."
But rather than staying true to her threats she stares at the pictures with disbelief.

You do a quick rundown without going into too much detail about your family members.
The zanpakuto girls eyes widen as she sees pictures of you, your wife, your kids, your grandson and even the background of some pictures.
through her mile long stare you can almost hear her reality breaking down around her.
"Oh... my...
S-Since when?"

"About a few decades.
I'm a little over sixty as a hollow and I started a bit later.
So let's say... fifty years. But our rate of development always increased exponentially.
And keep in mind we started from scratch."

"T-This is a bit too much for me..."

You pause at that.
"I mean... I know it's shocking but aren't you over reacting a bit?"

"No! Listen here!
Some couple hundred years ago my partner died!
Then that perverted fuck dragged me here, offered me this position and I accepted it! Been doing that since!
But the catch is that I chose to stay here!
I didn't want to be part of that sick cycle of fuckery that they call reincarnation!
I wanted to stay here because I knew that I'd be reborn over and over and over again without remembering ANYTHING!
And since the FUCKING World never changes my endless torment would be MEANINGLESS!
But now?! NOW I find out that the HOLLOWS of all people have been goin' around changing the world like it's no big deal!
I! AM! FUCKING! PISSED!"

Meras hair practically lights on fire as she finishes her rant.
Then as she turns around to look at you a malicious glint can be seen in her eyes.

"You!"

"M-Me?"

"I've decided!"

"D-Decided what?"

"That I've had enough of this place!
And you are my ride out of here!"

"EH?!
H-Hey! Hold on just a minute!
You can't just go around deciding things like that!"

"The hell I can't!
It's made very clear from the beginning that we can quit whenever we want!
I'll just not undergo that sick ritual of the "Master" and instead I'll tag along with you!"

"Look, you don't understand!
Even if you say it like that it's not like Oetsu is going to let you come with us!"

"He will if I become your Zanpakuto.
All we need to do is have him do the same shit as that other guy!
Easy!"

"N-no you aren't listening-"

"Young Master... if I may interject..."

You stop in the middle of your sentence and listen carefully to the Hogyoku.
"There is a way other than the Toshin."

"Speak."
Hearing this Mera looks at you confused.

"Much like how he managed to copy my- I mean... divine works.
I am more than capable of doing the same thing.
If you will it I could help you shape the woman into a... second Zanpakuto.
Naturally it won't be the same as that Nash fellow but it would be just as if not more effective."

>Refuse outright

Not cool if we take his 'woman' without asking. We are the guest here

>>1725316
>>1725317
Okay, I see I've made a mistake here.

If you choose this option then choose between forging her yourself or leavving it up to Oetsu

>>1725328
>Tell the Hogyoku to do it
Alright.

>>1725339
Thanks bruva.
I just want to conserve time so I can finish this bit

>>1725255
Well, probably not if we consent to it. It'd be weird having a blade spirit that didn't come from us, still her flame powers would definitely compliment our our powers, especially espada septa, and it would shore up some of our elemental weaknesses. I'd be all for it to be honest.
>Fine, we'll think of something but tell your Boss first!
I'm fine with this

>>1725328
ok then, add my vote>>1725350
with this
>Tell the Hogyoku to do it
If hogyoku says he can do a better job then I'll believe him

>>1725328
personally i trust Hao a fair bit more then Oetsu currently cause god damn guys, thats fucked up. At least we more or less know why Hao does the things he does, also any reason to make squad zero shit the bed is great.

Wait, if she gets reforged what will happen exatly,does she keep her powers or do they get altered because she gets bound to us?

>>1725370
I think that depends on whether we choose to put her in our sword, or forge her into a second sword bound to us.

Okay so the consensus appears to be:
-Tell Oetsu that this will happen
-But let the Hogyoku do it

"Okay, listen Mera...
If you really want this I won't tell you otherwise.
However you should tell your Boss first!
It's the proper thing to do!"

"Tch...
Fine!"

Still fuming with rage she storms off in Oetsus direction, an act that catches the attention of her fellow swords.
As she gets closer Nimaiya notices her approach.

"Ah Mera-chan!
We were just observin' the fruits of our labor!
You did a splendid job as alwa-"

"Cut the crap "Master"!
I'm here because of business!"

"O-oh?
Really? Wha-What is it you want to discuss?"

"The termination of our agreement!"

"M-Mera-cha-"

"Don't Mera-chan me asshat!
We had a deal! I say I quit, I quit."

"Y-Yeah that's true.
But why now? Why so suddenly?"

"Because I've had enough Oetsu, plain and simple!
Now are we cool or do you want to keep looking like an idiot for a bit longer?!"

"Erm... fine.
As soon as we finish with Na-chan we'll get to dismantling you and-"

"You wish!"

"Excuse you?"

"If you think I'll just bow down and let you kill me then guess again!
I'm not planning on dying you know!"

"Well ummm... then what?
I know you won't go into the Galaxy so..."

Mera points at you.
"I'm going with him."

"WHAT?!"

Seeing all of this unfold you hurry to the man and begin apologizing.
"Look I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause this!
She just became really angry all of a sudden and-"

"Bullshit!
You know why I'm angry so don't sugar coat it!"
She turns to the god.
"Look Nimaiya, I endured your bullshit for hundreds of years, I tolerated being with these idiots and rejects, I sweated my ass off in your forge more times than I can even count!
Now either you'll show some backbone, do this and prove me wrong for the first time in my life!
Or be the pathetic manchild I think you are!
Choose!"

Oetsu takes off his glasses and puts them away.
After a brief pause and some deep breaths he looks at her.
"Very well Mera-chan.
You win. You can go.
I'm gonna miss you, you know. I always loved that fiery temper of yours and your sharp tongue.
I guess... I was proud that I could make something like you-"

At this Mera goes in and grabs Oetsu by the collar.
"Don't. Say. Another. Word!
You didn't make me! My partner did!
So stop your fucking crocodile tears already!
Can I go or not?"

"Hmph... fine.
But don't think I'll reforge you with that attitude. And besides without you nobody can heat up the forge.
You'll die if you don't have the reiatsu of this place to feed you."

At this deep within the back of your mind a voice speaks up.
"Ahem...
Shall we?"

You close your eyes for a moment and when you reopen them a tiny purple flash can be seen coming from your eyes.
"Yes.
We shall."
Turning your attention to Mera you call her out.
"Mera!"

She turns around and you place your hand on her head.

>>1725481

As you begin secreting slime from your hand the Hogyoku infuses it with its divine energy.
Pretty much the moment it makes contact with Mera a purple glow begins to emanate from her.
In mere moments her form begins to change as her physical body "dissolves" and gets turned into an amorphous ball of matter.
With the Hogyoku doing most of the work, using your mucus as a sculpting tool you don't have much to do.
After a few more seconds the ball begins condense and change shape.
Once the glow subsides you are left with something quite... peculiar in your hand.

The sensation is odd but not unfamiliar.
That thing in your hand is definitely a shinigamis Zanpakuto however there are a few key differences.
For starters the blade seems to be attuned for Your reiatsu specifically, meaning there is no risk of it harming her.
And as an added bonus... it also possesses a certain trait that only Arrancar blades have.

Namely, Mera is not a typical shinigami katana.
No...
Much like an arrancar zanpakuto her sealed appearance resembles another weapon altogether.
Namely: A trench knife.

Oetsu jaw hits the floor harder than when Nash managed to subdue an Asauichi.
"W-WHA?! HOW DID YOU-"

"I observed you once.
It's not that hard, really."

But turning your attention away from him you begin to focus inwards.
Nothing.
You begin to wonder if you failed and look at the knife in your hand with dread.

"Heeey! Don't piss your pants just yet!"
A familiar voice speaks up.

"Whew... I'm glad you're all right."

"Yeah. No worries. I've been through worse."
*whistle*
"Wow... this place is pretty spacious.
I was worried when I saw the other guy that we might not have enough space."

"Greetings!
I am the Hogyoku and I also inhabit this place.
But worry not, I do not require any space.
You can have it all for yourself.
However I ask you not to move the pool table without my permission."

"THE WHAT?!"
You scream in surprise and then hear the synchronized giggling of the two voices.
"Oh Ha Ha! Very funny!"

Oetsu observes this in shock.
"So... is Mera-"

But just as he finishes a figure pops out from your knife with a pink puff of smoke and Oetsu shits himself.
"Of course I am jackass!"
She turns to face you.
"Okay, here's the deal!
I'm not willing to do that whole "I'll visit you whenever I feel like it" bullshit.
I'll talk when I want and I pop out whenever I please.
And also I'm not a tool or a pet!
We are partners! Got it?"

You extend an arm for her.
"Of course. Partner."

She takes your hand and shakes it.
Funny. This is the first time you see her smiling genuinely.

Meanwhile the Hogyoku speaks up in your mind.
"Sorry about this Master but I wanted to make sure she's happy.
I gave her plenty of autonomy and some other things she would've liked.
I hope that's okay with you."

You keep shaking Meras hand.
"It's fine by me."

Aaaaand that's the end for today folks!
Hope you enjoyed it.

Archive's up.
If you have any questions in universe or otherwise then feel free to ask them

>>1725534
But she doesn't.
All she did is provide the flame.
Oetsu is the one that knows that

If they start a war it's them who will regret it, the amount of arrancar that exist is enough to wipe out soul society,

What exactly does this change for our abilities/capabilities?

Beautiful...

>>1725576
Ah, Misunderstanding on how the operation functioned on my end. Sorry for riling everyone up.

>>1725576
Aw man, you're killing me with this cliffhanger! Nice session though, thanks for running!

So what does Oetsu and Mera both think of this?

>>1725589
If you think that's good, wait until the Monk hears about this little excursion.

>>1725614
I wonder if the monk works like a squid.
Does the monk squirt ink instead of shit?

>>1725576
Will extended exposure to the hogyoku and einherjar improve Mera over time as it has us?

>>1725569
Whelp

Either this is going to cause a war with the Soul Society, or it's going to light a fire under their asses to stop being shit. They're no longer the only spiritual nation that exists, so they can't just fuck people over without consequence anymore.

>>1724305
Okay?

>>1725569
Hogyoku-chan is best plot. But now we know we can totally make swords more humanely and sticky than Oetsu can. Not that we should, but it's nice to know how much of an ubermensch Kaizar truly is.

>>1724461
I mean, Hueco Mundo doesn't have a standing army, it just has peacekeepers.

Time comes where we need one, I'd say go with a hybrid of Aizen's system and the basic Shinigami squad structure.

>>1725882
Aizen's system basically was the shinigami division system. The espada represented the captains and they even had their own assignments that they acted on. Their Fracion we're basically their own divisions on a smaller scale, mostly to do with the simple lack of numbers. I'm all for redeveloping it and reforming the espada and their respective Fracion, as well as reforming a standard army and council. I'd rather form up now than reform as a reaction to SS shit they may do while our pants are down. Maybe these changes end up being unneeded and peace is achieved through diplomacy, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it, and it seems more and more like we need it.

>>1725925
But we're not intending to be the aggressors in this scenario, so there's little reason to restructure and/or maintain said standing army. If they want to fight, it'll be on Heuco Mundo soil.

It may also be an idea not to call it the same thing that Aizen did, that would be a PR nightmare.

>>1725936
We won't be the aggressors, that doesn't mean we shouldn't prepare to defend ourselves in case it comes to that. Just because we're striving for peace shouldn't mean that we don't prep for the worst outcome. Our Excuras are basically police at this point, and our strongest Hollows are fairly lax and unorganized after decades of peace. We shouldn't kid ourselves into thinking otherwise. Plus, I genuinely see no problem with using the names again, but if it's that big of a deal than we can just change it up again. I just don't want to say we'll be fine and then end up getting attacked, and then building our forces when we could reorganize ourselves now and while we see how diplomacy between the Zero Division and Kaiser play out. Remember, it's their job to purge Hueco Mundo whenever they feel they need to, and considering how they clearly feel about us, and the horrible shit the SS has done and covered up over the centuries, I wouldn't put it past the monk to already be getting ready to attack Vanheim and end us before we become anymore of a threat.

We have a hogyoku that knows (at least a bit) about the secrets of an Asauchi.
We have a zanpakuto that produces flames strong enough to reforge both an arrancar's and a shinigami's sword into the same blade.
We have goo that can help to reform and stabilize the entire process.
And we've got a wife who can easily bring us the water necessary for cooling the blade.

We could probably pick up smithing as a hobby!

>>1726077
Don't forget we have a mad scientist to throw ideas at.

>>1726106
>"Hear me out, it should make the wielder into a giant."
>"Yata.."
>"And then, and then! We make another that does the same thing and give it to their rival!"
>"Yata, please, no letting giant monsters fight in Vanaheim."

Those Japs and their love of giant beasties.

>>1726077
you guys forgot about our cane...sword

>>1725712
so he isn't strongest

>>1727136
We lost that a while ago, its in storage in the SS

>>1725587
It doesn't change any existing abilities.
But now you have access to Meras fire based abilities.
I'm sure you have a few ideas how to use that.

>>1725612
>Mera

"So... I really did.
God I hope I didn't mess up."

>Oetsu
"Don't know whether I should feel fuckin' scared or aroused..."

>>1725614
The catch is that if Nimaiya rats you out he is also toast.
Since he willingly gave an Asauchi to an Arrancar

>>1725626
The Hogyoku won't do anything on its own (unless Mera or you wish so)
The Einherjar on the other hand...

>>1727293
Mera is gon get GOOPED

>>1727293
Hopefully Mera doesn't mind the goo too much. Even if it gets everywhere.

What would have been the difference if mera had been forged in by oetsu instead of the hogyoku?

>>1727317
Hopefully you'll see the full difference between the two swords next thread should you do a test run with Nash and compare swords.

But I can say this: If Oetsu did it Mera would've fused with Basilisco

>>1727322
Then she'd REALLY be deep in the goo. She'd never forgive us for a life of unending sliminess.

>>1727322
Yeah, Im glad we went with the plot rock this time then. If we want our sword to talk to us then I want it to have its own personality

Will our wife get pissed? We kept picking up girls(Asher is exception) like stray puppies

>>1727352
She did they same thing, she has no right to judge us.

>>1727322
What would've happened if we had her and our sword forged together?

>>1727604
Then Basilisco would have a voice inside of it.
As well as a few new tricks.

Plus a few techniques may have been altered permanently

>>1727631

Wait, could we combine Mera's fire with our goo to make napalm?

>>1727631
That sucks. I kinda wish we had forged her into it. Also uh, this means we need a new bedroom for our house right or do we just put the swords on weapon rakes when we sleep?

>>1727644
Apparently keeping her as a separate blade is more effective, since we've got both sets of weapons and powers that come with it plus we can probably use the combined power we could've gotten if we fused her into Bascilio anyway. Plus, I'd rather see if we can evolve our sword on our own without outside spirits effecting it's growth anyway. Also, no to the bedroom thing, she still lives in the new zampakto but now she has the ability to pop out whenever she feels like it.

>>1727176
If you didn't see the whole thing was a joke about the stupid rank 0 thing they did in canon then there is no hope for you.

>>1727176
It's a pretty obvious reference to canon Bleach. The Espada in original canon are secretly ranked 9 to 0 instead of 10 to 1 like everyone thinks. That's because the strongest arrcanar, which was numbered 10, would lose the 1 on his tattoo and be espada 0 when he uses his released state. It was just a joke man.

>>1727644
I'm sure that, if we ever decide to, we could fuse the two blades with the MIRACLE ROCK.

>>1729350
>Not wanting to DOOL WIELD

>>1729378
But anon, we already do the DROOL WIELD thing.

>>1729378
Na, what you do is have her pop out of sword form, then you swing her entire body around while she breathes fire. So you can beat a motherfucker with an even angrier daughteru.

Mera demanding Hao grow a cock so she can rape him when?

>>1727644
>>1729350
>>1729378
>>1729399
>>1729413
It'd pretty cool if we figured out how to temporarily fuse our two swords during training, and training is gonna happen, we need to learn how to use her well. what if we use our slime to revert back to vasto lorde and evolve into the next stage of pure hollow, have hogkyu use it's powers to split off our arrcanar powers into a separate blade that evolves into a proper zampakto and bond back with us and then we'll have full hollow evolution path, basicilio, and our new flame blade.

>>1729470
Whoa
Calm down anon, you're getting too big a hard-on.
Yer gonna rip something apart in this rhythm

>>1729513
I half imagine you to say that the Hogyoku is going to manifest a ghost Tiger tank filled with ghost-rider-esque crew and a German marching song is going to blare from the heavens at ear-rape levels

but the Tiger is actually a mobile suit of armor worn by Kaizar

Is it getting absurd enough for you, yet?

Nah, the mech suit should be able to pilot an even bigger mech suit

Cool. No one asked for your opinion on the matter, but thanks for clearing up whether or not you're an asshole. Cheers.

Since I forgot to mention this:

Next thread will happen this weekend.
More updates will be on twitter

The thing I was imagining with Mera was to engage Segunda Etapa instantly, instead of with a countdown.

Activate it, and then have Kaizar just fucking Jam Mera into his chest to vaporise the Einherjar instantly in a massive blast of cancer fog.

I mean, pretty metal, right?

>>1732084
That's what I assumed would be the easiest applications to her powers too. I wonder if a temporary sword fusion is possible?

>>1732084
>>1732173
literally nothing is stopping us from still doing this. it's not like we cant use Mera during Segunda

>>1732189
Well yeah, who said otherwise? If you mean the sword fusion thing, I mean't that being a separate ability we could do, I'm all for having two separate swords.

>>1732189
>Use Mera after our warm up
>Flaming ghost Basillicos

I'm just going to laugh the first time we fight anyone and use Bankai.
