Chapter 3: Blast from the Past

"Kurosaki Karin? Are you hurt?" Urahara Kisuke asked the girl.

"I'll be fine, it's Ichi-nii!" she shouted and pointed at her brother. "There were two hollows. That one took away a little boy, but the first one did that to Ichigo. And my stubborn, idiot brother thought to jump in front of me! He can't even feel the monsters! Why!? Why, would he do something so, damn stupid!?" she roared as if doing so would make Ichigo stand up and argue back at her.

Karin then watched as the shop keeper's facial features went from concern for her, to absolute rage at the sight of Ichigo. Then something softer passed in his eyes, but was quickly masked as he bent and used his Kidō to heal the former Shinigami. He healed Ichigo enough to be stable to make it back to the shop. He picked up the younger man, and watched as Karin began to follow.

Kisuke was confronted with the group that had followed him to this place. Ulquiorra, Orihime, Nelliel, Isshin, Tessai and the two youngest individuals of Kisuke's group, Jinta and Ururu, stared in shocked disbelief. Isshin and Kisuke shared a glare but neither said a word and Urahara raced back to his candy store. Isshin stayed behind to keep Yuzu from seeing the spectacle, but allowed Karin to go so she could inform them of what had occurred.

Kisuke walked out of the room he'd left Ichigo in with Tessai. He was visibly shaken, by the boy's plight. He knew now more than ever, he had to get Ichigo his powers back. The boy never would learn to leave things for others to handle. Kisuke thought back and noted that the boy had always been that way. He was never that kind of person. He couldn't walk away from a fight, especially if it concerned someone he cared about. The shop keeper sat with the group and listened to Karin's tale.

Grimm was ripped from his slumber by the sound of the hollow's scream. The world was grey and sandy, yet it felt like a familiar place. He tried to make himself as small as possible, so the creature wouldn't take his anger out on him again. But he knew it was wishful thinking. The monster had been tearing away at the boy's skin since they arrived here. The being said that he would torture the boy, and make him feel every bit of the pain he himself had felt over the past year.

"You little shit!" the creature screamed again. He grabbed the child with one of his segmented arms by his throat. "I never thought I'd be able to get my revenge on you, but you've made it so easy haven't you!"

Sputtering and gasping for breath, Grimm choked out a reply, "I don't even know who you are!"

"I dun care! You tore apart my very essence! Because of you I had to worm my way over the last year just to regain what little power I could. Consuming hollows, I even ate the dead remnants of my own Fracción." the creature yelled, and tossed the boy aside. Grimm landed hard against a pillar across the sands, and slunk to the ground. "I'm gonna to make you feel the pain, then I'm gonna end your existence!"

A scream of anguish was torn from the child Arrancar's throat once again. Grimm was terrified, he had no idea what he had done to make something so horrific become so angry at him. As the creature brought his mandible to his skin again, and seize at it, the flesh was ripped away.

"I still have the hardest Hierro of all the hollows I've come across," the monster told the boy. "So I can peel away at you until you are nothing."

At the mention of his Hierro, Grimm got an image of a man. The man was comically tall, and slinky. His hair was long, black and messy. Grimm picked his head up, and looked at the hollow again. The hollow hole in his left eye was the same as the hole in the eye of the man in his vision. "You're … you're …"

The insect hollow crept up to the boy; his face coming within inches of the child. "You figured it out then?" He picked the child up and tossed him through the air, and then with a roundhouse kick as he leapt up, the boy was once again flying through the air into the boulders in the far side of the sandy dunes.

Grimm spit out the blood that pooled in his mouth, and tried to stand but couldn't gain any stability. He looked up at the monster racing back at him, "Nnoitra," he whispered as he lost consciousness again.

"I don't know who the boy was, but that hollow was determined to take him," Karin said, the look of helplessness overcame her features.

"The child you found, he was Grimmjow," Ulquiorra told the girl. "He just regained his Tres ranking as an Espada."

"But something went wrong with the procedure," Orihime chimed in. "I was responsible for the loss of his ranking and I wanted to make things right, but…"

Ulquiorra came to wrap his arms around his wife. He caressed a hand to her cheek, and looked deeply into her eyes. "Tsuma, he didn't blame you for the loss … he blamed me."

Kisuke picked his head up at that moment to speak, "That's exactly right," he notified the group. "The procedure wasn't a failure, Inoue-san. It was the handler of the implementation that was the failure." The troupe looked puzzled by his words. "Nelliel who did you think of as the responsible party for your loss of rank?" All eyes were now on the beauty across from them.

"I didn't blame anyone," she said. "If anything I blamed only myself. I couldn't blame someone else for a decision I made."

"Exactly!" Kisuke declared. "You blamed no one, so Inoue-san taking the responsibility worked to bring you back into your complete form and ranking, "However Grimmjow-san," he looked to everyone in the room and rested his eyes on the Cero Espada.

"Grimmjow blames me," Ulquiorra said simply. "He believes me to be responsible and so to return him to whom and what he once was…"

"You need to impale him…" Orihime finished for her husband.

"We need to find him, quickly," Kisuke said and turned to Karin once more. "Could you describe what the creature said and did again?" When she recited all she remembered of the incident, Nelliel came to attention. The description was eerie and a foreboding look came over her. "Nelliel-san?" Kisuke brought his gaze to her. "What do you know?"

Nelliel stood then, and shut her eyes as she remembered that day. The day their ranks were changed and their lives as well. "I believe the hollow is the former Espada … Nnoitra."

"Former Espada? I don't understand…" Orihime questioned. "I thought he was done after I fought him, didn't he get consumed by 'Ao Hinotori Hakka Suru'?" Ao Hinotori Hakka Suru was the fiery blue phoenix of Orihime's true power. She'd used it against the Quinta Espada during their battle in Hueco Mundo. When she walked away from him; he was a screaming, burning, pile of flesh.

"After my memories returned to me," Nelliel began, "Grimmjow asked what had happened to me, why I had disappeared for a century. I told him how Nnoitra kidnapped my Fracciónes, and used a hologram to distract me as he bashed me on the head. He then had me tossed out of Las Noches in my child form, helpless, to fend for myself." All the room was riveted to the Primera's story. "After he heard that, he went in search of Nnoitra. He was burned but alive when Grimmjow found him. They fought, and it was during that fight that we all felt the situation on top of Las Noches." She gave Ulquiorra a meaningful look, "Your reiatsu disappeared, and we all gained new ranks. Nnoitra didn't like the outcome of all this. When he tried to stab me in the back as we turned away from him, Grimmjow severed his soul chain."

"So he never killed the hollow, but he cut off his power source?" asked Kisuke.

"I didn't want Nnoitra killed, I did want him to suffer his fate," she told the shop owner. "I wanted him to live his life as the failure he was. Grimmjow gave that peace to me," she looked off into the ether thinking of her panther. She will do whatever she could to have him back, with her, and safe.

"If my estimation is correct," the scientist rationalized, "then my guess would be, when he lost his power he restored to a kind of Adjuchas state. Not an Espada but not a completely powerless hollow. He could have consumed hollows regaining some of that lost power."

"The boy I met in the alley, didn't have any memory of who he was. He could only tell me his name," Karin informed them. "When he blasted the first hollow, that attacked Ichi-nii, he didn't even know he had that power."

Kisuke let his genius go to work on that aspect. "I think he became traumatized, in his child form. Before he met with you on the street, he may have gotten some kind of block … anything could have caused him to lose his memory."

"I lost my memory do to the bashing from Nnoitra," Nelliel enlightened them.

"He seemed uninjured, just scared when I saw him," Karin said.

"What do we remember about Grimmjow-san's first reaction to being a child?" asked Urahara.

"He didn't want to be a child," Orihime said. "He was appalled by the thought of being a kid."

"He didn't appreciate your laughter, Urahara-san," Ulquiorra informed the former captain.

"He … didn't want to be helpless," this information came from Nelliel. "The one thing he always repeated to me was that he was sorry for not being there for me. He was upset at leaving me helpless for so long."

Kisuke thought about this for a moment. "If he thought of you being a child, was equal to being helpless, he could very well have made himself become helpless."

"He thought of himself as a helpless child, so he made himself a helpless child." Ulquiorra finished the scientist's thought. "It's a psychological trauma, not a physical one."

"Indeed Cifer-san, indeed," the shop keeper enlightened them all. "Now we just need to retrieve the child Grimmjow, and we can put right this whole mess."

"I will retrieve him, he's my panther," demanded Nelliel.

"I think it would only be fair, that I go," Ulquiorra stated. At the concerned look on his woman's face he said, "Tsuma, you will not come on this trip." Before she could complain about it further he continued, "It will not take long to bring the Tres back, and restore him. I know you have other things you want to take care of, before the month is over."

The weaver princess conceded to her husband. She didn't have anything to worry about when it came to him, or matters in Hueco Mundo. He was the Cero Espada, and if he hadn't given it up to Nelliel, it would be him that ruled over Las Noches. She turned to Nel in that moment, "You'll bring my fiancé back to me won't you, Nelliel-san?"

The Queen of Las Noches smiled at the princess, "Of course, someone has to make sure he makes it to the wedding!" she laughed.

"From what you've mentioned," Kisuke interrupted. "I'd gather that Nnoitra would be quite upset with Grimmjow-san. Finding him in the alley may have been pure luck for him … or he could have found him through his incredible spiritual pressure. But Nnoitra also took him, while Grimmjow-san was wearing a Gigai. That Gigai will diminish his reiatsu, making him truly vulnerable the more time he spends in it."

"Then we won't waste any more time here," the Cero declared. The two Arrancars made their way to the cellar of the candy shop, where Ulquiorra opened a Garganta, and they stepped through into Hueco Mundo.

"Can I go and see my brother now, Urahara-san?" Karin asked of the shop owner.

Kisuke nodded and stood up to lead her to the guest room he laid the boy in. Abruptly, Tessai came from the room, "Urahara Taishō!"

"Tessai-san? What's wrong?" asked the Shinigami.

"Is Ichi-nii alright?" Karin was concerned.

"Yes, Kurosaki Karin, Kurosaki-san has completely regained his consciousness," the Kidō Master informed the young girl. When Karin entered the room, Tessai pulled his long-time friend off to the side. "Taishō, it's about Kurosaki." The two men flashed out of sight.

Ulquiorra entered his old home, and felt … … … nothing. No nostalgia, no regrets, just, nothing. He knew now more than ever, he'd come to the right decision, when he said he never wanted to become king here. He looked to the woman by his side, and a sense of pride came over him. This was the rightful ruler of this place. She was the real Queen and if her choice for a partner was Grimmjow, then Ulquiorra couldn't fault her that. A small smile came to his lips at the thought of Grimmjow as the King of Hueco Mundo, and then shook his head.

Nelliel saw the smile on the Cero's face and smiled back. She had great respect for the man. Even though she was slightly taken aback when he named her the Queen, she was determined to fulfill the duty he'd entrusted to her. Nelliel used her Pesquisa to locate her pet. They both knew that doing so, would alert Nnoitra to their presence, but they needed to get Grimmjow back fast.

Nnoitra felt the powerful spiritual pressures as they entered Hueco Mundo. One he knew right away was his longtime nemesis, Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck. The other reiatsu, though familiar, he couldn't place. But he knew it to be even more powerful than the Primera. He picked up the tiny Arrancar, from where he was passed out on the sand, and headed in the direction of the reiatsu. "Finally," was the only word that came from him.
