Hell Verse: Chapter 2

*Cough* *Splutter*

Szayelaporro.

Oh, Aaroniero. Well, well. Yes, I thought I sensed someone else there, falling alongside of me. So, I guess it was you, wasn't it?

I must say, that's one sturdy fish tank you've got there.

Hmph. Were you hoping it would break?

No! Well, at least not before I got the chance to crack it open and run a full chemical analysis on the liquid sloshing around in there.

Shut up, you bastard. I don't know what this place is, but Lord Aizen's not around to protect you here.

I never did like you. You'll get a better idea what's inside me when my Glotoneria devours you!

Knock it off!

Huh?!

You don't get it, do you? Are you going to ignore the point of suspicion you just raised?

What are you talking about?

Didn't you just say it yourself? We don't even know what place this is.

Why don't we find out where we are first before spending our energy killing each other? Might be a more productive use of time.

I really don't care where we are.

There's plenty of time for that later, after I watch you die.

I don't think you're grasping the difference in our abilities. I'm Espada Number Eight and you're Number Nine, remember? However you do the math, you come up short.

We'll see about that!

Hehehe.

You two are funny.

So, you're wondering where you are, eh? If you really want to know, I'll tell you. Welcome to Hell.

Who are you anyway?

Why don't you come down here if you're so tough?

Heh. You're hilarious, the way you go on and on about killing each other. You two are in Hell. You're already dead.

Just what kind of nonsense is that?

Indeed, you're right. Thanks for jogging my memory, whoever you are.

Yes, it seems I did die. And I have that damn, despicable Soul Reaper to thank for it.

So, the question now is, is there a way to get out of this infernal wasteland you call Hell and return to Hueco Mundo?

Of course there isn't. Don't be ridiculous.

You sure of that? You'd better tell us if there is.

Let's begin again. My name's Shuren.

And the only way you will survive here is if you do exactly as I say. Understood?

Oh, is that right?

Taikon, Gunjo, Garogai, our guests don't seem to like Hell very much. Teach them to be more appreciative of our hospitality.

Aaroniero!

A Gran Rey Cero, eh?

Hngh!

So, that's an Espada's Cero? Disappointing, I must say. Sorry to have to tell you this, but you are of no use to me.

That does it! Don't get cocky with me, sinner!

I knew it. Their power was nowhere near great enough to open the gate. Gunjo, what about the one we sent to the world of the living?

I see. Then, my friends, it would seem our days in the darkness are about to come to an end.

As I suspected, it will have to be you. I'm going to bring you down, Ichigo Kurosaki.
