Ulquiorra's True Form

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

A loud roar sends everyone but Grimmjow and Ulquiorra flying into ruins, and they see the being producing the roar. The man looks like a female with the delicacy of his face. He has gentle, pink eyes with dark blue hair which cascades downwards in the formation of fire. He wears the general Espada attire, except altered to show his Hollow hole, which is at the bottom of his throat, and it's very large, leaving only a little bit of skin to its sides. The coat is short, nearing his waist, and has a simple style: black lining from his wrists to the top of his chest with stubby rectangles on the bottom of the lining, three on each side, before another part of the lining streaks down in the style of lightning to another Hollow hole in the middle of his abdomen.

Two Hollow holes is a very rare occasion, and appears on the Hollow of a very strong and smart man or woman who was part of a military. He/she had to be famous in their military and had to be ranking at at least Colonel. They had to be killed by another high-ranking military official in order to have this form.

"I see you've noticed that I have two Hollow holes. Yes, I was a high-ranking military official, a General. A permanent five-star General, one of the few who got such an achievement. I was once part of the Imperialists' military. Aye, the Imperialists of World War II. You see, this rank was secret. I was the only one in their military to have achieved such greatness, and because of that, I had to remain secret, along with the rank, so that they could be underestimated in terms of strength. What they didn't expect was that I'd kill many of their high-ranking officials and flee.

"I was in hiding for years, and for a reason unbeknownst to me at the time, I remained the same age, 28, and was stuck in the cycle of life, constantly being tormented by time. I decided to come out of hiding and join the American military in the time of the Vietnam War. I was sent a message by the North Vietnam's leader telling me to meet with him somewhere deep in the forest. The Americans thought he was another soldier of theirs who somehow sent a message through mail. I met with him a day later, and right as I stepped in, he attempted to kill me, but failed.

"I had somehow gotten a Hollow hole in my throat, and he went for that area. I grabbed his arm and tossed his across the room, but three soldiers of his grabbed me, and he managed to kill me by cutting me to shreds. That's my story of my former life," explained Hishinraiyuka. "Now let's fight!"

"You were... A... A Bount before you became a spirit..? Impossible..." muttered Ichigo.

"It's possible, you idiot. It's only happened twice, though. I guess he was one of those two occurrences," said Grimmjow.

A dark green ball of spiritual energy was charging at the tip of Ulquiorra's index finger, and he raised it, pointing at Hishinraiyuka. It was let loose and sent Hishinraiyuka flying backwards.

"Alot has changed since you arrived here..." Ulquiorra stated, before he went into his Segunda Etapa form. He screamed in pain, an incredibly rare occurrence coming from Ulquiorra. When he finished, he no longer had pupils. His eyeballs were pure black. He had four grey wings, two tails from his Segunda Etapa form, no nose, and two mouths you'd find from a monster from a fairy tale. He also no longer had a hole in his sternum. He had no hair, but instead, the part of his head not altered from his Segunda Etapa form had been covered in a mask like Ichigo's, except it had no open parts, and it was grey and black with the occasional green. the space in the middle of his head had two broken horns.

He also had another leg, and two more arms. This was his true form. The TRUE picture of despair.

"What the hell happened to you, Ulquiorra!?" Grimmjow asked in the tone someone would have if they were scared.

Ulquiorra simply looked over to him.

"This is my true form, Grimmjow Jaggerjaques. I am Ulquiorra Haijuku Schiffer, the true picture of despair."

Ulquiorra muttered one word: Sonido, and was behind Hishinraiyuka the instant he finished it. He kicked him in the back hard, sending him flying into the air. He did the same thing as before, but was above him.

"Not this time," Hishinraiyuka said before grabbing Ulquiorra's face and thrusting him downwards into the ground below. Ulquiorra rotated his neck once he got back up. He appeared above Hishinraiyuka again, headbutted him, and grabbed his throat to keep him in the air. He punched him with his remaining three arms. Every blow he landed pulled the two closer to the ground. He threw Hishinraiyuka down, grabbed him by the abdomen with both of his tails, and front-flipped, sending Hishinraiyuka incredibly deep into the earth below.

"That's it, you pathetic little worm? Oh well, can't expect much more from Espada number four. To be honest, you're quite weak."

Hishinraiyuka appeared behind Ulquiorra, grabbed him by the chest, and squeezed. The pressure caused one of Ulquiorra's lungs to burst, causing Ulquiorra to cough up an amazing amount of blood. He then grabbed Ulquiorra's face and thrust forward, then slammed his victim's head into the ground. Out of nowhere, Grimmjow appeared in his second Resurreccion and kicked another hole into Hishinraiyuka's body, this hole in the head. The hole went all the way to his face and out where his eyes and nose would have been, had he not had a hole kicked in his head.

"...That's all? You're far weaker than your friend here."

"What... How... There's no way this is possible..." stuttered Celestia.

Grimmjow just stood where he landed, slackjawed and unmoving. His eyes were wide in shock, and he couldn't find anyway to form a counterattack in his mind.

"So you're just gonna stand there? How foolish," stated Hishinraiyuka.

Hishinraiyuka turned around, leaped forward, and stopped after he landed in the air behind Grimmjow. Grimmjow's neck was sliced wide open, revealing his esophagus. He simply fell lifelessly to the ground, and he laid there motionless.

"Grimmjow!" Orihime screamed in worry. "Santenkesshun, I reject!"

A translucent orange pyramid enveloped Grimmjow, slowly reverting him back to his original form.

"So, little girl, you think you can interfere in this fight and not get hurt? You're a dumbass, you know that? I better teach you some lessons, so that in the future, you can actually be smart!" yelled Hishinraiyuka.

Hishinraiyuka slowly walked forward towards Orihime before he was stopped by an orange haired male bipedal.

"Don't you dare lay a finger on her!" screamed Ichigo, before he brought down his Bankai. "Getsuga... Tensho!"

A black wave of spiritual energy was sent forward, lashing at its victim relentlessly. Hishinraiyuka was sent flying into the ruins. Ichigo appeared above him with his mask on, and cut off Hishinraiyuka's head.

"Sir Cuatro!" Luna screamed.

Ichigo ran towards Ulquiorra quickly, and appeared at his feet. He saw Ulquiorra reverted to his Segunda Etapa and his jawbones crushed, blood seeping from his head and chest. Ulquiorra's body was unmoving in a pool of his own blood.

"We need to get him to a closed-off area with a bed!" Celestia stated. "Grab on to me!"

Everyone did as they were told, Orihime grabbing Grimmjow's hand. They winked out, and appeared groggily in the central part of Ponyville. Ponyville's citizens were frozen in place, witnessing in awe and terror their princesses walk towards Ponyville's library.

"Princesses!" Twilight said before bowing.

"No need for such things, Twilight. We require your bed immediately. We're sorry, but this is an emergency."

"What for? Oh, Cuatro! Hey, Cuatro! Wait. Cuatro! What happened to him!? Why is he hurt so much?"

"This guy isn't Cuatro, he's Ulquiorra," Ichigo said.

Celestia walked up the stairs with Ulquiorra, Luna, and Orihime in tow.

"Orihime, we need you to heal him. Please do so," Luna plead.

"Of course. Santen Kesshun, I reject!"
