Ulquiorra schiffer, Cuatro Espada, the Guardian of Las noches Castle and Right Hand of hueco Mundo Governor Aizen Sosuke.
Before becoming Espada, Ulquiorra was just a Vasto Lorde, wandering alone in the middle of the endless hueco mundo Desert, before cramming himself into the crystal tree causing his mask to break to become an Arrancar.
After a while, Aizen found him, recruited him, and gave him a reason for life.
For decades Ulquiorra has faithfully served Aizen and obeyed all orders without hesitation or mistakes.
Unlike all of his colleagues, he had no desires or personal gain. Since the primera espada Coyote Stark joined because he wanted companionship, segunda Espada barragan Louisenburn joined in order to become stronger and then reclaim his throne from Aizen, tres espada Tia Hallibel joined because she wanted to change the terrifying reality in which the world of Hueco Mundo lived, As for the rest of the Espada, they just wanted strength.
A lot has happened over his years at Aizen. Ulquiorra took his place as a member of the Espada, a group of ten strongest Arrancars in the Aizen army as the fourth strongest Arrancar.
Nevertheless, Ulquiorra served his master Aizen to the best of his abilities and did whatever he was asked to do without question or hesitation.
He kidnapped a human girl named Orihime Inoue. And until he encounters a troublesome human named Kurosaki Ichigo, an insect that seems to think it deserves to stand on the same level as him.
Or this is what Ulquiorra thought before he was torn apart by the hollow who possessed Ichigo's body.
Ulquiorra shook his head, trying to push back those thoughts, then looked at the Shinigami standing before him, feeling his body fading away.
"Kill me."
Ichigo stepped back with wide eyes as he watched Ulquiorra's body begin to turn to dust. He was not happy. The Substitute Shinigami was not the one who defeated Ulquiorra. He wasn't even able to take a good hit at Espada even when he was in the first release.
The only reason Ulquiorra died was because Ichigo had turned into Hollow in the middle of the battle and destroyed the Espada with a series of red cero explosions.
Fortunately for Ichigo, Ulquiorra's core ability to "ultra-fast regeneration" was not able to completely regenerate his injuries. He was unable to regenerate the obliterated vital organs. Otherwise, Ichigo will lose his arm, leg, and life after Ulquiorra kill him.
But although Ichigo can now easily kill Ulquiorra, the answer was ...
"No."
"What?"
"I wouldn't do that." Ichigo shuddered before screaming. "I ... I don't want to win like this!"
Ulquiorra's eyes broadened and his yellow eyes turned green as his transformation faded. He looked away and sighed sadly. "You never did what was expected, to the end. But I would like to inquire about something ... Are you going to defeat Aizen?"
Ichigo was surprised by the question that Espada asked him, in addition to the fact that the latter did not add the word 'Sama' or 'Lord' to Aizen's name, but he quickly regained his calm and replied, "I don't know if I will kill him or not, but I will do my best for Defeat him. "
"this is good." Ulquiorra said with relief, then turned his head and looked at orihime, who was looking at him with deep sadness, which surprised him somewhat. "It is true that I was finally interested in you human beings. Although there are a lot of people who are not considered trash ... But today I discovered that there are special and rare people who deserve admiration, like you two."
Ulquiorra reached out to Orihime, where his expression was as emotionless as ever. "Do I scare you, woman?"
"I'm not afraid."
Ulquiorra looked at the orange-haired woman meditatingly before orihime replied crying.
"I'm not afraid."
He asked her the same question before confronting Ichigo when Aizen said that Orihime Inoue was no longer serving any purpose. He had asked her this question, curious to know if this person was in fear of his impending death. Now he asked for a different reason. It was he who was dying and yet she seemed upset when I looked at him again.
"I see..."
Then Ulquiorra did two unexpected things: he smiled and shed tears. His smile was small, but not without sadness, as for his tears were light green like the two tear marks under his eyes.
He pulled his hand back as he felt his body rapidly turning to dust and watched the woman quickly reach out to hold his hand, as if trying to give him more comfort.
"... now I see." Ulquiorra said as his arm melted, a feeling of understanding in him. "It was her heart ..."
Ulquiorra closed his eyes and released his last breath in the world of hueco mundo, where his body completely decomposes into dust and ashes and spreads in the wind.
"...in my hand."
Ulquiorra had just discovered feelings but died before he could even understand what they really meant.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
Ulquiorra has disappeared ... forever.
////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////
"What a tragic thing, he died before he could even fully explore what was given to him. Don't you think so, Ryo-sama?"
Ulquiorra awoke to find himself naked in a water ball. The strange thing is that he can breathe easily inside those waters. Even more bizarre than this, his mask over his head and the hole Hollow at the bottom of his neck had disappeared.
'What is the meaning of this? what happens?' Ulquiorra asked as he looked before him to see five people, dressed in white haori, who had a high reiatsu far superior to reiatsu Aizen. In fact, he would not be able to withstand one of them even if he used segunda etapa.
"Welcome to Royal Palace, Ulquiorra Schiffer."
Ulquiorra looked behind to see a yellow bubble inside of a man who was pale-skinned more than Ulquiorra himself, with his limbs removed.
"Then this is squad Zero. And you are ... the soul king." Ulquiorra said coldly.
"I am him, I am the entity Aizen wants to kill and sit in his place. But he failed after Ichigo defeated him a month ago." The soul king spoke without moving his lips.
'So Ichigo won.' Think Ulquiorra and speak. "So, did you bring me to punish me yourself?"
"No."
"So why am I here? What do you want from me?"
"As for what I want, I would like to ask you some questions. You may not answer if you want to." The soul King answered in a deep, calm voice.
"What are your questions?" Ulquiorra asked coldly.
"First, why didn't you kill Grimmjow and Ichigo while they were fighting?"
"Because Grimmjow locked me in Caja Negación." Ulquiora answered, his facial features cold.
"you are lying." The soul King said. "You could have easily got out, but you chose to stay locked up."
Ulquiorra's eyes widened because of the words of the soul King, but he pleased his calm.
"Second, why did you lose to Hollow Ichigo?"
"Because I was weak and pathetic." Ulquiorra replied.
At that moment Ulquiorra felt intense spiritual pressure coming from one of those five. Specifically, the owner of that power was a tall person, wearing a haori that exposed his chest and torso, and had a strange hairstyle that somewhat resembled a hawk's beak. This guy is Kirinji Tenjirou, nicknamed the Hot Springs Devil. Looking at that person's face, it can be said that he is upset.
"Stop lying !!! We have seen your fight with the alternate Shinigami and Aggegg -" The man stopped talking after a fat woman with purple hair slapped his head from behind.
"Ooooh, I apologize for my colleague's behavior, Ulquiorra-kun. He's a bit sharp! I'm Kirio Hikifune, nice to meet you!"
"Pleased to meet me?" Ulquiorra asked with astonishment. "I am your enemy."
"are you sure?" The Soul King asked. "Returning to my previous question, you did not lose because you were weak, but because you wanted to lose." Ulquiorra remained silent looking at the soul king, then the soul king continued saying, "Ichigo is in the Hollow phase is very strong, this is an indisputable point. But you could have killed him. Maybe killing him would be a bit difficult, but you let him tear you apart."
"Even when Hollow Ichigo was about to kill his friends, you stopped him and cut off his horn, not his head." Said a woman named Sinjomaru Shutara.
"Shutara-chan's right, dude. ~~~." Said a brown man wearing yellow glasses and had an odd hairstyle like him. Although he looked like an idiot, it was apparent to Ulquiorra that he was smarter than meets the eye. This man is the first Zanpakuto maker, Nimaya Ouetsu. "You could have left Ichigo in Hollow form, then Aizen would win and Soul Society would fall."
"With so much raw power, you could have been Espada No. 1 or even 0. And with that power, you stick to No. 4." Said a bald man, he had a thick and long black beard, and he also carried in his hand what looked like a large paintbrush. This guy is Squad Zero's captain, Ichibei Hyousubi.
"The real question is ... why did you betray Aizen?" The Soul King said while he and the squad Zero looked at Ulquiorra intently, waiting to hear the answer.
After a minute's silence, Ulquiorra spoke, "The soul king has said that I can not answer the question, so I will keep the answer to myself."
At that moment, the squad sighed in frustration, except for Tenjirou who shouted in annoyance. "What do you mean you will not answer ?!?! Answer, otherwise, Aggagg-" Tenjirou stopped speaking and lost consciousness due to a heavy blow to his head, but it was not Kirio that hit him ... it was Ichibei.
"Yari Yari, this guy needs some restraint." Ichibei said as he put his hand on his bald head.
Ulquiorra did not understand what was happening, but he no longer wanted to continue. "Did you revive me just to ask me some questions?" Ulquiorra asked with a small hint of anger in his voice.
"Not quite, I have a offer for you."
"What is?"
"I brought you here to give you a second chance to explore your feelings and finally find true happiness. You can accept this offer, or I will send you on your way to the reincarnation cycle." The Soul King replied, with a small smile on his face.
"Why are you doing this? I'm your enemy!" Ulquiorra said with astonishment.
"enemy?" The soul king said while making a sad sigh. "Before long, Hollows and Shinigamis were two of the best allies, treating each other peacefully and marrying each other as well. But now ... just thinking about those memories makes me feel sad."
Ulquiorra couldn't believe what he heard, it was the Hollows and the Shinigamis ... allies ?! If someone else hears this, their heart will stop laughing.
"Whether or not you say it true, the past is the past. I am Espada, I was one of the Aizen Army elite." Ulquiorra said coldly and assertively as he looked at the Soul King with sharp eyes.
"But you are the decisive party in the Winter War. That is reason enough to give you a second chance." The soul king said, and the smile had returned to his face. "You are not an evil person, but you lack feelings and emotions which has resulted in being a game in the hand of evil. So I decided to give you a new chance. But in a different world. You cannot return to your world Ulquiorra, your time here is over, so my offer is A perfect opportunity to discover your new feelings. So, what's your decision, Ulquiorra Schiffer? "
"I ..... accept"
The smile of the soul King expanded and said happily, "These are my last words to you, Ulquiorra, because we will never meet again, do not waste this life that I gave you and live happily. Understand what it means to have a heart and discover your feelings. Remember well, do not go the evil path. This will only destroy you. "
When the Soul King finished speaking, Ulquiorra's body was surrounded by a golden light so bright that the members of squad Zero covered their eyes.
After a few seconds, the light faded, and Ulquiorra was with him. Then Ichibei turned to the Soul King and said. "Are you confident in your decision? It's Arrancar, nothing will stop him from taking over that world."
"Don't worry Ichibei-kun." The soul king said while looking up. "I am sure Ulquiorra will behave well and also .... It will be the key to peace between the Hollows and the Shinigamis."
"The Key to Peace? I thought you were lying about the Hollows and Shinigamis Alliance." Ichibei said staring at the Soul King in shock.
"This is not a lie, it is a fact. In the past, Squad Zero consisted of eight people, half of them Shinigamis and the other half are hollows."
All the members of squad Zero felt their hearts almost stopped working, but nobody can blamed them, because the mere thought that the Arrancars were protecting the Soul King itself is terrifying.
"Sooooooooo ~~~? What happened to make all this change?" Nimaya said, lowering his glasses a little to show his blue eyes.
The soul King closed his eyes and sighed sadly. "This is a story that has not been told for more than 1,400 years. The Great War between the hueco Mundo and the Soul Society, that war was much more violent than the wars of the Quincys and the Shinigamis."
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
«Inside Earthland Forest»
Ulquiorra opened his eyes to find himself lying in the forest. He wore the same Espada uniform with Murcièlago hanging at his waist, which meant that he had not lost his strength and abilities. But something is different.
There isn't any reiatsu or reiryoku existence, but there is another energy dispersed in the air. His skin is still pale, but not like the dead, his body is still thin, but not like a malnourished person. But even more shocking is that his hole and mask no longer exist.
As confused as Ulquiorra, he decided to start getting used to it.
Ulquiorra decided to use pesquisa in order to search for a populated area. When he found the place he used sonido to get to his destination, the town of Magnolia.
'here we are.' Ulquiorra thought knowing that his life would take a completely different turn.
