Disclaimer: I only own two names in this entire story and they are my own User Name and the name of my zanpaktou…DON”T SUE ME!! :(

Author’s Note: This story is a parallel version of Drake G. Reaper’s “The Ultimate Anime Crossover” and it takes place roughly at the same time maybe 2 or 3 minutes apart. Also when you see a line of of small x's across the story it means I’m having a flashback.

“This is just great!” I yelled into nowhere, “Stupid Central 46! Send me to Las Noches will you! Now I don’t have my zanpaktou and I’m wandering around in this stupid Trans-Dimensional desert!”

I flopped over backwards on the ground, and looked up at the endless black sky of the Hollows world Las Noches, wondering where it had all gone wrong…

I walked around the twisted alleyways of the Sereitay head towards Head Captain Yamamoto’s office to be given my first solo mission. I went around the last corner and saw the door and knocked on its huge centre plank. “Enter,” came the old man’s voice from behind the door; I did.

“Greetings Head Captain, sir!” I said saluting him, “I await my orders sir!”

He looked at me strangely, as if wondering if I was actually there, “Your orders come directly from the new members of Central 46; Central 46 wants you to go to Las Noches and capture one-it doesn’t matter which-of the 10 Espada and bring them here for questioning. Do you accept this mission Azerik?”

And like a dog trying to please its master, I accepted.

Some four hours later I’m sitting in front of the creator of the Espada and the other Arrancar; Sosuke Aizen.

“So,” said the power hungry man before me, “You’re the one Central 46 sent to capture one of the Espada; such a pity, I thought they would send someone stronger!”

I scowled at him hating that I could do nothing. As soon as I had entered Las Noches, Ulquiorra, Espada #4 had cut the belt of my robe and stolen my zanpaktou leaving me powerless. He had then proceeded to lead me to Aizen, who would decide how to kill me.

He sat there; thumb and index finger pinching the spot where his nose connected to his forehead, contemplating what he would do to me. Just as I thought he was not going to speak he said, “I know! Nnoitra come here!”

Out of the shadows came Nnoitra, Espada #5, looking at me with distaste said to Aizen, “Yes what is it sir?”

“I’m going to send this soul reaper out into Las Noches, after 2 days you will follow him and hunt him down, and kill him. Now soul reaper run! Run until you can run no more!”

And I ran.

As I ran I came across a dying Arrancar, who looked as though part of him had been torn apart by one of his fellows, next to a dead tree. Deciding I couldn’t go weaponless I drew two transmutation circles in the dirt I broke off a large branch from the dead tree and used one of the circles to change it into a wooden sword. Then I turned to the Arrancar and said, “In comparison to Espada #10 how powerful are you?”

He looked at me like I was crazy and told me he was one rank below Espada #10, Yammy.

“Good, “ I said to myself then to him, “This may hurt you but if you’re lucky, and I survive, I may be able to revive you after this.”

I dragged the Arrancar’s body on to the second circle, and stabbed the sword through his stomach and into the ground beneath him. I then knelt down and touched the circle with my thumb. The circle glowed and the Arrancar disappeared into the wooden sword.

“What is this?” came a voice from the sword, “What have you done to me?”

“I’ve spared your life by making you into a temporary zanpaktou.”

At first silence then, “Who hunts you soul reaper?”

“Nnoitra, Espada #5.”

“Kill him for me will you?”

“With you, if possible.”

“What’s your name soul reaper?”

“Azerik…”

“…mine is Gareth.”

“…”

“…Thank you.”

And now here I am with Gareth in the wooden sword I hold in my hand, and Nnoitra following behind me, a couple miles away.

“How exactly do you plan to kill Nnoitra, Azerik?” came the voice of Gareth from the sword.

“That depends on you Gareth; can you focus a Cero blast through the sword?”

“I’m sure I could, why?”

“I may need you to at some point; if I say Cero try and fire a blast through the sword.”

“I’ll try…”

“Thanks Gareth.”

I sat up and turned around as the wind picked up and saw a figure running in the distance.

“Well here he comes, you ready Gareth?”

“You bet!”

Oooh! Cliff hanger! Wait until Chapter 2 to find out what happens next and look for the parallel from Drake G. Reaper!
