"I'm sorry, because of us....." Nel apologizes to Lacero who has now returned to his normal form with her head down.
Lacero lifts up her chin to face him and smiles at her "Ah, don't worry about. Even if you not here, Yoruichi will still be in danger. Believe me, we'll be fine, Alright?"
Nel returns him a small smile and nods, "yeah."
"Now come, we make Aizen wait long enough"
They make their way toward Aizen who have given them some time to talk between them of a change in lifestyle with Pesche and Dondochakka walking behind Lacero and Nel with an air of depressed around them,
"why do we have to go back there, we were good just living in the wild..."
~
After Aizen, Lacero, Nel and the other left. Leaving the desert with a field of borns spike, where a battle took place in silent and nothing in sight all around. A head pops up within the sand,
"Finally, it over, it was getting hot down there," said Lacero, pushing himself out of the sand.
It a good thing that when Ulquiorra throw his stick and creating an explosion. Lacero, using the explosion as camouflage. Grow a full body of himself to replace him just in case of a situation like now, where he has to look at Aizen's Zanpakuto's Shikai.
Materialize herself beside him, Yarihimi question her owner, "Why did you agree to join that Aizen guy, I don't like him?"
"Come on, in the future. The guy will a have full power wish granting orb and I want that in case I have a use for it in the future. Also, it more fun to be on the bad guy side and mess with the good guy, it less boring." Lacero smirk.
The spirit sigh and said, "It that all you care about, getting what you want and having fun? You could get yourself kill one day if you keep doing stuff like that."
"You should know it best since you live there but my inner world is a theme park, that should tell you best of what kind person I am" she cares about him but that one thing she doesn't like about him.
"Now, come on. Let go look for one of the girls that I like and get back quick. I'm worried about Nel going with them and not have the real me beside her but she should be fine for now" Lacero than leave with his Zanpakuto's spirit.
~
Somewhere in the desert of Hueco Mundo.
"Aah...This is so boring, there nothing to do here" whine female lion-like Adjuchas. With her are two other Adjuchas, one snake and another deer, they bother female.
The deer hollow roll her eyes at her companion,
"No duh, there isn't. We're in the middle of nowhere" she finds it annoying that Mila Rose stating the obvious.
"How dare you roll your eyes at me, you bitch, Apacci!" Mila Rose yell at her.
Finding the two hollow arguing amusing and to release her of her boredom a bit, the snake Adjuscha added more fuel to the fire, "you two are pathetic, so unladylike, unlike me. I don't know why lady Harribel even bothers with the two of you."
Hearing Sung-Sun insulting and telling them, they not worth their mistress time. Both Mila Rose and Apacci turn their anger toward her,
"You're not better yourself, you ugly snake. Lady Harrbel probably just took pity on you since you so weak to take care of yourself and let you follow her!"
"You guy, stop. Something is coming here, be on your guard."
While they were insulting each other to notices anything. Their lady who is shark humanoid with a huge shark shape blade for an arm and standing not too far away from them, sense something was making their way toward them and warn them.
~
Finally, make it to where Harribel and her friends were, Lacero drop his sword and put his hands up,
"I come in peace, don't be alarm."
Feeling the guy was making fun of them, Apacci shouts at Lacero, "Cut the crap, who are you!?"
"I'm Lacero, it a pleasure to meet you ladies" Lacero smiles, introducing himself.
Harribel point her blade of an arm at him and question, "What are you here for?"
"Oh, I was wondering if you want to be more powerful while also getting you human look like me. All beautiful and stuff, you could fix your hair and do your makeup, what do you think?" said Lacero, trying to appeal to what he thinks girl want to do to have a good time.
Another reason he joins Aizen is that he wants to get Harribel before Aizen get to her so he can increase the level of likeness she has for him and also he not sure how to turn her into a nature Arrancar without the Hogyoku.
"That sound like a bunch of lies," said Mila Rose, not believe what Lacero since it sounds too good to be true.
"You see me, I am a hollow just like you but who has his human form back when I become an Arrancar" Lacero pull his top down to show them his hollow hole.
After thinking about for it awhile, Harribel speak up, "Prove it to me that I'll be stronger if what you said it true?" she don't care much for looks but she does if she can be more power to better protect her friends.
Lacero drops his hands down and tells her, "Alright, come at me. I show you the difference between Arrancar and Vasto Lorde."
Taking him on his offer, Harribel charges at Lacero who was stand still and swing her shark tooth arm at him without any hesitation.
Harribel eyes widen when her sword gone through Lacero like nothing, hitting his after-image than she hears Lacero call out besides her, a distance away, "That was my speed, you like it?"
'I didn't even see him move at all'
"Come at me again, I'll show you my strength"
She didn't wait a bit before she rushes at Lacero again and thrusting her arm at him. Harribel was shocked when her attack was easily stopped by a hand.
"Nice, it's it. You can have power like this if you become an Arrancar" said Lacero.
~
"Lady Harribel..." Sung-Sun, Apacci, Mila Rose watch in sadness as their mistress who was so strong to them, got handle like a kid.
~
Harribel retreats her arm and starts thinking whether to take Lacero offer or not.
"Alright, I believe you and want to get more powerful" she agreed, knowing that if the kind of power she was shown is what she has to up against, she'll never be able to protect the girls who look up to and follow her.
"I'm glad, now I'm gonna tell you what to do-" Lacero push a bit to get their attention and continue.
Sorry if this chapter see a bit weak
"You want us to go to Las Noches and pretend to join a Shinigami captain who is building an army of Arrancar to take down Soul Society, just so we could become an Arrancar, are you crazy!" scream Apacci, not liking how absurd the idea was. They, working for someone was not something she likes, more so when is it a Shinigami.
"Yeah, I don't like it either" Mila Rose agree with her, even Apacci think it stupid and that hard to do.
"What do you think lady Harribel?" Sung-Sun asks her leader on her opinion. She with those two but she wants to know what their lady think, If it a good idea or not.
Harribel was deep in thought on what is the best option. If she joins, she and her friends will become stronger but there is a lot of downside with it.
From what Lacero said, the Shinigami captain Aizen is someone who wouldn't hesitate to cut something down if they are no use to him anymore and there also Baraggan who she has a bad history with. But the problem is Aizen ability of Perfect Hypnosis, where he can control all your sense and you can't ever escape it, the only saving grace is Lacero was able to trick Aizen into thinking he was under his hypnosis control.
The most disappointed part of this whole thing for her was, Lacero tells her even if she becomes Arrancar, she'll still no match for Aizen so after turn into Arrancar and she wants to forcibly leave, she couldn't.
She wants to let her friends get their human look back, knowing they'll be very if they could but with the bad out outweigh the good and Harribel about to refuse the suggestion,
"Sorry but we-"
knowing what she gonna said, Lacero put his hand up and stop her, "How about I show you my power and see if it can change your mind."
"What do you mean by that?" Harribel and the other look at him a bit confused, wondering what Lacero means by showing them his power when they already saw how strong he is when he was fighting Harribel.
Instead of getting any response from Lacero, they suddenly feel an immense amount of reiatsu pressing on them. Harribel fall flat on the sand, she tries to resist and move her body to get up but the pressure was proving too much for her to do anything.
The shark Vasto Lorde feels like she was sick and about to pass out any moment now, never in her mind did she think that there could be something monstrous of this level were possible.
If this was what she feeling, Harribel couldn't imagine what the other is going through right now. Worrying about Sung-Sun, Apacci and Mila Rose, she moves her head with difficulty to check on them and found them unconscious with drool coming out of their mouth.
Fill with extreme anger and how powerless she was to not able to do anything to prevent it, Harribel move her head back and look up at Lacero with all the strength she has.
"ENOUGH!"
Harribel than pass out, losing all the strength she has left.
With the shout of his future girl, Lacero stops releasing his reiatsu while at the same time draining his Reiryoku so he can get them under control as soon as possible.
~
Opening her eyes with blurred vision, Harribel stars at the night sky for a second before she abruptly seats up while sweating as the memory of what makes her blackout come back to her.
"Ah, you awake?"
Harribel's pupils dilate, hearing the familiar voice. Turning to the voice, all her muscles tighten when she sees Lacero walking toward her.
"Are you alright?" said Lacero as he bends down and holds out his hand for her to grip but instead he finds Harribel move back to get away from him.
Seeing the fear in her eyes, Lacero retreats his arm and reassure her, "I'm sorry if that scare you but you got nothing to fear from me, I only did that to show you that there is nothing to worry about if you go to Las Noches."
Hearing the comfort of his, Harribel start to calm down a bit. Never in her life did she ever feel so frightened and small as she does now.
looking around she found her friends laying unconscious not too far from her, worrying about what the status they in, she quickly got up and make her way to them.
"They just unconscious, they wake up soon," Lacero tell her but Harribel still nonetheless check on them to make sure.
After done with her inspections, she stands up and stares at Lacero right in the eyes and tell him,
"I'll do as you said, I want more strength."
She don't want her or the other to ever go through that again and feel like they were just an ant that can kill at any time. The only way she seems for her to overcome that is for her to grow so strong that the experience she just went through was nothing more than a child play.
Suddenly the mask around Harribel faces start to crack and broke off while at the same time the rest of her body armor start to fall off.
With all broken white hollow skin on the ground, stand a Harribel in her human form, just as beautiful and busty as he knows her to be.
She was completely naked with the only thing covering her was the remnants of her hollow mask that start from her neck and gone down to cover her nipples.
"Oh my, you become Arrancar and every pretty one at that" Lacero compliment her but she wasn't paying attention to him as she was busy checking her body and how strong she became.
Harribel frown when she compares her new power to Lacero when he releases his reiatsu and found she not at his level.
Lacero take off his top and offer it to her, "Here, cover your self with this"
She takes the cloth and put it on, showing her long and smooth legs.
Seeing her still a bit down, Lacero got closer and caress her face, "Don't worry, I'm sure this isn't the limit of your power and you'll continue more powerful."
Lacero step back and tap at the air, opening Garganta, "I'll be waiting for you in Las Noches" he said as he enters the pathway.
