Author's Note

Yes I'm back everyone! I'm sorry it's taken so long, but I finally managed to put the finishing touches on this chapter.

Life's been pretty wild lately, I had at least three, count 'em THREE different family members go into the hospital. So I've had to work real hard on overtime to pay the bills. Combine that with my little brother getting his learner's permit and my mom having me drive around with him? Well, you get the picture I'm sure.

But by far the worst offender for taking up my time is that someone went and bought me a membership for the J-Novel Club, a site where you can read Japanese light novels in english. And I've gotten rather hooked on the Issekai genre!

So, sorry guys, but updates are likely going to be even more sporadic than they already were before. I'll do my best to at least get something out though.

By the way, I decided that Ulquiorra got sealed into a Soul Reaper's Assuachi, so that it can do konso's and purify souls rather than destroying or eating them.

Return of a Legend

Hueco Mundo/PoV:3rd person

Among the Sandy dunes of this wasteland of eternal darkness, a portal appears. From this portal appears a monstrous black being resembling a pig the size of a small house with arms coming from its sides and a bone white mask bearing a psychotic grin and wide yellow eyes. This was an adjuchas class hollow, who had forgotten his name. Now he was simply known as Squeals.

In his hand was a struggling mare in a wedding dress, her entire body slightly transparent. A chain stuck out of her chest with a few short links.

Squeals gave a sickening laugh as he said, "Ah the sounds of sorrow. Just like my bitch of an ex after I kidnapped her on her wedding day. I don't know why the souls of freshly killed newlyweds are so satisfying, but I don't really care!"

After these word were spoken, he pinned the mare to the sand in front of his face. Her struggles increased as the hollow opened his mouth and was about to bite her head off...

...Only for a spike of sand to grow out of the ground and pierce his arm and force him to let go of the mare. As he screamed in agony, a cocoon of sand rose up and surrounded the mare, dragging her underground and bringing her back upon a dune about ten feet away.

"Stay here, you'll be safe." A male voice said before fading away.

Back with Squeals, he was raging, ranting and cursing as the hole in his arm healed.

"Dammit! Who did that?! I swear I am going to find you and tear you to peices for this you f*&#ing kill stealing scavenger!" He roared as the hole slowly shut. Unbeknownst to him, a humanoid shape formed from the sands behind him.

The figure quickly grew more defined before a glowing golden sphere formed in front of it. Sqeals, sensing the buildup of energy, tried to dodge. He soon discovered, however, that his hooves were encased in sandstone.

"Hasta la f&*$ing vista, baby." The figure intoned as he released the energy in the form of a massive beam, completely disintegrating the adjuchas class hollow's limbs. The light of the beam revealing the attacker to be Jack.

PoV: Jack

I sighed as I watched this bastard roll around as his limbs slowly grew back. Deciding to get it over with, I summoned the zanpakuto I was given and slashed his mask. The gates of hell appeared and opened, as chains lashed out and wrapped around his body before dragging him in.

I shuddered. I may be a tough mother lover, but even I don't dare to think I could take on the kushanada due to how many of them there are and how toxic their aura is.

After taking a moment to get ahold of myself, I returned to where I dropped off the mare. I had to admit that she was certainly pretty. However, I had a job to do.

"Alright, listen carefully please." I said as I rose out of the ground in her field of vision. "In order to let you pass on properly I will need to pull out my sword and tap the bottom of the hilt on your forehead. Okay?"

She nodded, and I performed the konso. With a grateful smile, the mare glowed before becoming a white luminescent butterfly which left through a small white portal. I gave a small smile before turning into sand and transferring my consciousness to a spot near Las Noches. It seems to have been abandoned for a while so I think I missed the events of Bleach by a long shot.

Reforming just outside of the front gates, I nodded in the direction of Ulquiorra as I passed her leaning against the door.

"Jack." She said monotonously. Though if you looked close, you could see a small smirk on her face.

"Ulquiorra." I replied, "Everything quiet around here while I was gone?"

"Indeed." She answered as she stood up, "I don't suppose you really remember what day it is today do you?"

"Ulquiorra..." I sighed as I gave her a deadpan look. "You know that my sense of time is severely screwed up because I've been here so long. Hell, if I didn't have such a good connection to the sand around here my sense of direction would be as bad as Ryoga Hibiki's."

She shook her head as she didn't get the reference. Afterwards she pointed at the moon, which I had discovered was in sync with the one back in Equestria. I looked up and saw something that completely shocked me.

It was hard to notice, but the silhouette of a mare's face which represented Luna's prison...

...Had several cracks in it.

I fell to my knees in shock, realizing that I had now been training and waiting for 1000 years. More importantly, it meant that Luna would soon be free!

It started with a simple hiccup, then a chuckle as the first tear fell. Finally, I fell to pieces; crying and laughing in both elation that I would soon see her again, and guilt that I would probably have to fight her at least temporarily until Nightmare moon was purged from her system.

While I was releasing my emotions, Ulquiorra slowly walked up and put a hand on my shoulder to show that she was there to support me. She rarely showed emotions like this, but when she did it was usually in subtle ways like this.

After I got myself together, I went and meditated for a few hours in order to set some of the hundreds of memory partitions I had created over the centuries to sync up with some of my other alternates while stopping the ones that were previously syncing up and collected the data that they had amassed on the powers of their targets.

Once that was done and the information properly sorted within my mindscape, I quickly opened a garganta to the last place I had been in Equestria...

...The courtyard of the Castle of the Two Sisters.

Upon arrival, I realized I was a bit early. It was still daylight out, about noon if I had to guess. With that in mind, I went into the throne room before jumping up into the rafters. After I secured myself with a bit of rope I summoned I went to sleep for the first time since I had left for Hueco Mundo.

It was a few hours later that I woke up due to sensing another's presence. Looking down, I saw Nightmare Moon appear with a purple unicorn mare in her late teens if I had to guess. The unicorn tried to power the orbs at their feet and it almost worked, but then they were shattered by NM using a massive battle axe she summoned. The only reason the mare wasn't beheaded was because a rope had encircled her waist and yanked her back towards a group of other mares, with an orange earth pony holding the lasso that had saved the mare.

Nightmare was about to fire a spell at them, but I decided to make my entrance at that point. And I really couldn't resist making it completely hilarious (at least in my mind).

PoV: Twilight Sparkle

"This is it! It's all over for you meddlesome fools!" Nightmare Moon shouted as she charged her spell. I couldn't move out of the way or the beam would hit my friends, yet I recognized high level magic when I saw it. No shield spell I had would even stand a chance against this.

With tears in my eyes, I turned to the other mares...No, my friends...And said, "It's been wonderful knowing you all."

I looked forward just as Nightmare was about to release the spell...

...And saw a pile of sand tall enough to cover her waist fall and land on her?

The impact must have startled her, because the spell blew up in her face. But rather than being sent flying back, the sand pile held tight as she was forced to bend back in what must have been a very painful manner. She straightened back up, only for the sand to flatten to just her feet before a pony-like silhouette made of sand rose up in a boxing stance. It unleashed several combos as Nightmare's feet were held still.

Finally, with a cry of "Shoryuken!" The figure released her feet and jumped while executing a spiraling uppercut which sent Nightmare flying away to land painfully on her back.

After he landed, the figure began to solidify into a sickly looking stallion of about twenty years with a flat face, a brown mane and red eyes. He had a grin on his face as he said, "I always wanted to do that!"

Pinkie started cracking up as Rainbow looked on in awe for some reason. Rarity seemed to be looking at him intently along with Applejack, while Fluttershy hid behind her mane with one eye poking out.

"You!" Nightmare Moon exclaimed in anger, "I thought I killed you!"

The being smirked, revealing sharp fangs. "Bitch please. I'm immortal, you got that? You just scattered me for a bit. Too bad it took so long to pull myself back together or I would have helped to kick your ass last time."

Nightmare Moon smirked herself, then replied "Than I'll have to scatter you again!"

With those words she quickly charged a high power wind spell and cast it at her foe, who simply stood there.

"You really think I wouldn't have learned to counter wind spells in the time you were away?" He said calmly with a raised eyebrow. Then he turned to me and said, "You might wanna hurry up with those elements. You're standing right in front of them and have yet to call on their power. I'll buy you some time."

With those words he charged at Nightmare Moon.

PoV: Jack

As I charged at NM I swerved from side to side to doge her spell-fire. Once I was close enough, I raised my fist to punch her. She tried to block my feint as I guessed she would as I turned back into sand and reformed behind her, grabbing her neck as I slammed her into the ground. I quickly pinned her using my sand form and watched as the elements began to charge.

Just as the elements fired, I reformed and rolled out of the way, watching with a fist pump as NM was purged from Luna.

I was about to approach before Celestia appeared and explained to the purple unicorn, Twilight Sparkle apparently. She then turned and welcomed Luna back.

With a smile on my face, I turned to leave. Before I could however...

"Sister, what happened to Jack?" Luna asked, looking around and not seeing me as I was in the shadows.

"After your banishment, he entered a sort of portal, and hasn't been heard from since." Celestia explained sadly. Seeing Luna tear up in response, I had to make an entrance.

"Until tonight that is." I said as I stepped into the moonlight. I heard Celestia gasp in shock as Luna turned towards me with tears still her eyes.

"Jack!" She exclaimed before tackling me into a hug, "I was so worried! Nightmare Moon showed me the results of her wind spell and..."

She started to cry as I smiled softly and wrapped my arms around her.

As I held Luna to calm her down, Twilight walked up to Celestia and asked, "Who is this pony Princess?"

Celestia chuckled as Luna began to relax before the sun princess started her explanation.

"He is no Pony, my precious student. This is Jack, a being who came to our world from a far away place. He and Luna have always been close. As I said to Luna, after her banishment he vanished." She said before glaring at me, "Though I wish he would have stayed, as it gets lonely ruling for 1000 years." The last part was said in such a way that it implied she wanted an explanation.

I sighed as Luna released me before saying, "I didn't want to stick around without Luna. While you and I were at least civil to each other, without Luna to act as a buffer between us we likely would have driven each other crazy! That and the fact that I had a feeling Luna would return meant I decided to go into another dimension to train in my powers and abilities. I figured I would come back when the seal started to weaken, but an influx of rather unpleasant natives to the dimension made me completely lose track of time." With those words I looked at Luna with a smile, "I'm just glad I was here to welcome you back."

She smiled back before the pink earth pony shouted something about a party. Next thing I know there is a flash of something very similar to kaleidoscope magic and we were all standing in some kind of restaurant.

'WHAT THE-?!? HOW?!?' I thought in shock before shaking my head and making a mental note to talk to that pony about her magic.

I spent about twenty minutes just hanging out and wandering around the party before I noticed Luna was on her own. Making up my mind, I finished my drink before walking over to her.

"Luna, could I have a private word with you outside?" I asked quietly, she looked confused, but nodded an let me take her by the hand out the front door.

Once we were outside, I turned to Luna with a solemn look.

"Luna, there's something I have to tell you." I said as I took her hands in both of mine, "I wanted to tell you back before everything went wrong, but well..."

With a sigh, I continued, "Listen, I've never been good with subtlety so I'm just going to flat out say it. I think I'm in love with you."

She gasped, her cheeks bright red as I turned away, "I understand if you don't feel the same. But I just wanted to-"

"Jack" Luna interrupted as she took my chin in her hand and made me face her, "Just be quiet."

And with those words she kissed me. It started off tentative, but quickly escalated into something that conveyed how we felt towards each other.

We were startled apart by the sound of cheers and wolf whistles. Turning, we saw the partygoers had seen us kiss with Celestia at the front. She gave a smile and nod as the pink pony shouted about having yet another reason to party. This caused us both to blush bright red as the people went back inside.

With a soft smile shared between us, I took Luna's hand and lead her back inside.
