I propose a challenge to all good espada fans.Behold the segunda etapa challenge.

The idea is simple, write up a battle between a vasto lorde version of the espada (except Stark who gets Lillinette in a resurrecion (you make the descriptions)) within the mindscape provided for them and then provide a description of their segunda etapa and its powers(except Ulqui since we can just look it up).All will have some oddities from their mindscape and no zanpakuto or ressurecion.Try not making it easy on them as this is supposed to be a pain in the rear to do for one reason or another.You'll note I am not doing any favors with the effects of their mindscapes.

Starting with the weakest.
0/10 Volcanic world that forces the battle to be on the ground due to gravity.The stronger either person is the more gravity is inflicted for both.After all a person is often chained to their anger...
9 A living planet that will try to eat everything and summon defenses in the form of the past devoured.Is that Kaien I see.I believe Aaroniero's eating habit might kill him after all gluttony is a sin...
8 A massive trapped labyrinthine complex controlled by an unknown sadist.Can Szayel survive this maze and defeat its master?Its almost enough to drive someone insane...
7 A distorted fun-house mirror realm gone psycho.Can you stay sober in this hallucinogenic realm?
6 A ruined metropolis overtaken by nature and wheres the reishi? No ceroes for you! Are you the predator or not?
5 Behold the bladed moon, and if I'm not mistaken those blades seem to be moving...
4 Aerial combat in a stormy world drowned out in green rain. Bit hard to see when despair will strike from the clouds...
3 Blood is thicker than water and all but strongest swimmers move slow in this blood ocean.Feeding frenzy anyone?
2 This desert seems so odd, sometimes the world seems to crawl by you, other times it passes you by a mile.
1 A lonely desert plain nothing but tumbleweed and that strange howling.Is it me or is that sound getting closer?
please notify me if you're taking up this challenge as I'd like to see you're ideas and show others who was will to try this.

A request for any who is willing and able! Can someone make a rewrite and eventual finish to the story "shards"?

A challenge i do propose is simple in the extreme in its basis. Make a familiar of zero crossover fic with ulquiorra or young walter, from bleach and hellsing, respectively.
