The Hollow blasted its Cero as we moved out the way. It moved quickly striking at me as I was in midair. Blocking it with black limb, I was sent to the ground. It landed as Sajin rushed with his blade as did Kaien.
"Nemu!" I shouted
She turned to me with that same calm demeanor.
"Go look for it!"
She rushed to the entrance that it guarded protectively. Getting on my feet Sajin and Kaien fought. Though the Hollow was clearly faster than any of us. Before anyone could hit, we would have to switch to defense to avoid injury. Turning its head seeing Nemu digging through the stash collected.
"No! Leave it! It's mine!"
Charging after her I flashed in front of him. Blocking his attack, parrying it away. Slashing it stepped back dodging my attack. Beginning an assault as block all incoming attacks.
"Nemu! How! Are you! Coming! Along!" I shouted fending it off
"I'm trying Vice-captain" she answered sifting through
"Argh!"
Sajin shouted charging in cutting off the assault. It put some distance between us, as Kaien charged forward as well. He struck by its forearm and into the tunnel wall. Seeing a chance I rushed in cutting off its arm, it shrieked in pain. Sajin pierced the chest diving deep as green blood came out. Falling to the ground motionless.
"I find out it" Nemu said holding a flash drive
"Good, now let's-"
"Shriek!"
"What's happening!" Sajin shouted as we covered our ears
"It's calling for back up!"
"Die! At the wrath of his majesty Barragan!" It shouted causing the tunnel to collapse
We ran before the ceiling could give way. Making it out just as a few rocks closed the tunnel. Getting up dusting ourselves off.
"Nemu still have it?"
"Yes"
"Good, now let us-"
A massive quake came rocking the entire walls of the trench. A Menos Grande, but this time it was more than one. A horde of the behemoths came steadily, one formed a red Cero in its jaws. I held up my black limb forming my own, the two blasts connected. My blue Cero cut through the Menos Grande killing it.
"We need to leave!"
We all ran the opposite way of the Menos Grande. Again the quake came as two Menos Grande came. Going down a path, we we're greeted as another stood in front of us.
"Well look at what we got here!"
A Hollow that resembled a minotaur stood on the shoulder of a Menos Grande.
"Soul Reapers! A snack for us!" It shouted
Scanning we saw a few tunnels that could help, but didn't where they could lead. This would either help us or kill us.
"Into the tunnels!"
We rushed as Cero hit the ground, running further in. All of us didn't stop for a second as the Adjuchas chased us.
"No you don't! Get back here!"
I wanted to turn and attack, but for fear to cause a cave in I didn't. 'Just keep running' was all that went through my head.
The horns of the Hollow plowed through the wall of the tunnel. Straining what strength it had to keep the ceiling up. Seeing the exit we jumped out, as I blasted a shot of Kido to block the Hollow.
"Don't stop!" I shouted
We continued to run just as fast as when we're being chased.
"Found them!"
A toad like Hollow shouted as it charged a Cero. Before it could blasted with my own, killing it. The familiar steps of the Menos Grande came. Turning a corner as they shot a strong Cero, we were pushed to the ground by the impact.
"Kakashi! We need a clear area if we want to open the Garganta!" Sajin shouted
Looking up I could see small ledges in the walls of the trench.
"We're going to have to climb"
"What!? Are you nuts!?" Kaien shouted
"This isn't up for debate! Now get to climbing I'll deal with the Menos!" I ordered
The three began their climb upward, I drew my blade. A one-hit strike would kill easily, and doubt there it wasn't alone. I charged slicing its shoulder, landing on a edge of the walls. Crashing against rock causing some debris to fall. Seeing the three making their way up, I was relieved to see them making their way to the the top. Til Hollows began to line up on the edge of the trench, laughing as they saw trying to leave.
Loud cackles and howls of laughter were heard from above.
"Well, well what do have here? Trespassers on my territory"
Looking up I saw him, a Hollow that had a skull for a mask and a crown. With a purple robe with black fur or what I think it was.
"Barragan" I said glaring at him
"Oh? So you know of me?"
"You're one of the few Vasto Lorde known"
"That is because I am the strongest, and you will not see the light of day" He chuckled
Gesturing to his army they began to move down. I looked to my black arm, I had to save my friends. This meant delving into the dark waters of my arm. I used a standard Cero and the artificial limb had gained a natural Hierro. Now I had to further my reach not knowing what could grab ahold on the other side.
I point my hand at the horde coming forth, taking a deep breath.
"Cero! Apagón!"
A blue formed in my palm, but soon turned to a dark grey. Shooting towards the horde, it shrunk then expanded destroying the line of Hollows. Barragan paid more attention to me, as I had got us enough time.
"Go!"
My team and I returned escaping the Hollow realm of Hueco Mundo. Getting to a secure place, we broke our slips opening a Garganta. Turning before we entered I saw the Hollow King staring at us.
"Hahaha! Interesting! Very Interesting! I'll be keeping an eye on you if you come back!" He yelled as we entered
Getting to on the other side of the gate. We had a few scratches, our uniforms torn or tattered. Huffing due to our escape, we were in deep exhaustion.
"Let's never do that again" Kaien huffed out
"I must leave to give Captain Mayuri the data, I bid you farewell" Nemu announced
The ever calm Vice-captain left to do so.
"Okay everyone dimissed"
Night
I didn't sleep well tonight, I tossed and turned. My body drenched in sweat. Flashes in my head it wasn't any memory that haunted me.
I looked down at my black hand, it was normal at first. Then it began to spread like a virus it reach its way up my arm. I tried to stop it, but nothing I did helped.
"You can't ignore me forever!"
It then spread to my head changing my eye color. I soon vomited white liquid as it began to form a mask on my face. Trying my best to tear it off, it would just attach somewhere else.
"You can't escape!"
"Argh!"
I woke up, sitting up fast as I began to check myself. Everything seemed normal, but it wasn't.
