After the surprising entrance of Rukia and Renji, (Y/N) and Ichigo ran towards them to greet them.

Ichigo: Rukia! Renji!

(Y/N): You guys really came?

As Ichigo and (Y/N) got closer. Rukia and Renji proceeded to scold them both.

Rukia: You fools! Why did you go off to Hueco Mundo on your own?! Why didn't you wait for us to come back?!

Ichigo: That's because we didn't know if you were coming back!

(Y/N): No communication or secret messages were given out that you'd actually come back...

Rukia: We'd come back! No matter what! Renji and I were planning on doing so from the beginning! Why didn't you wait for us?! Why couldn't you trust us? We're your friends, right?

(Y/N): It's not about not trusting you guys, we just didn't want to get you guys in any trouble. And besides, we weren't even sure if they would've kept you guys on some sort of lockdown. Please understand, we simply weren't aware of what the situation in the Soul Society is like and we didn't want to risk wasting too much time.

Renji: *signs* You are really talkative at times... Fine, we get it...

The conversation was cut short as an unfamiliar voice came out of nowhere.

*clap*

*clap*

???: What an interesting bunch we have here! A bunch from all walks of life! You did well to take on the Guardian of Las Noches.

(Y/N): Who are you?

The person speaking was a girl with long purple hair who wore a black top hat with a skeleton emblem, a black dress and glasses. She carried a parasol with her.



Ichigo: She looks like another weirdo, but she doesn't look evil...

???: H-Huh? W-weirdo? I'll have you know that I am an intellectual!

Ichigo: Sure you are... Are you another arrancar?

???: I'm glad you noticed.

(Y/N): Okay... so I'm going to assume you aren't with Aizen or the Espada... So what do you want from us?

???: An easy answer. For years, I've wandered the deserts of Hueco Mundo scouring for those brave enough to fight against Aizen and the former king of Hueco Mundo. My mission is to throw them out of power so that my Mastermay become not the king, but the Queen of Hueco Mundo!

The mysterious girl explained her motive while striking various poses that look like they came out of an anime.

(Y/N): ...You may be right, Ichigo. I don't like to insult others but she's pretty weird. She may have 8th grade syndrome.

???: One more insult and I may not be merciful enough to punish you lot! Serving under me would be an honor to anyone!

(Y/N): Although you don't seem to be an enemy, you're skipping many steps that would help us trust you.

Rukia: He's right, how about we start with your name.

???: *Ahem* My apologies, I suppose you're right. I forgot something crucial.

Striking one more pose, the mysterious arrancar introduced herself.



Wiz: My name is Waleska Inez Zulema! However, my master thought the name was too long and gave me the nickname "Wiz". Now may I have the names of my new servants.

(Y/N): None of us volunteered to be servants but if you want to work together with the common goal of defeating Aizen, then sure. My name is (Y/N) (L/N), a Substitute Shinigami.

Ichigo: Ichigo Kurosaki, Substitute Shinigami.

Uryu: Uryu Ishida, A Quincy.

Chad: Yasutora Sado, A human

Rukia: Rukia Kuchiki, Shinigami of Squad 13.

Renji: Renji Abarai, Lieutenant of Squad 6.

Nel: I'm Nel Tu, and these are my brothers, Pesche and Dondochakka. Then there's our pet, Buwabuwa.

Wiz: A pleasure to meet you all. With our combined forces we shall storm Las Noches and defeat Aizen and his subordinates!

Wiz then started to murmur to herself.

Wiz: Once Aizen is defeated, Master would definitely return. This must be a test, surely. No way she'd lose...

(Y/N): You okay? You were so upbeat earlier, now you're talking to yourself in depression.

Wiz: Huh? Oh, my apologies! Let's continue moving!

The group was confused by Wiz's different personality shifts but thought of it as a weird character quirk of hers.

All: She's definitely a weirdo.

(Timeskip)

The group was once again, riding on the back on Buwabuwa on their way to Las Noches.

(Y/N): So... Wiz... You seemed to have been plotting to take down Aizen for a while. What info do you have on him and the Espada?

Wiz: I know the current lineup of every espada in terms of ability. I've been keeping tabs on them as much as I can. However, because of Runuganga, I couldn't make as many infiltrations as I would've wanted.

Rukia: Wait a minute, you've infiltrated Las Noches before?

Wiz: Only twice. The first time was with my Master and the other was by myself.

(Y/N): That's actually pretty impressive. Considering some of the strongest beings we know of so far are living there. To come out of there alive twice is an accomplishment.

Wiz: Hmph, It's only natural. I'm a natural born genius.

Ichigo: Someone's getting a bit big headed.

Uryu: So what did you learn from your expedition?

Wiz: The Espada have their own quarters in Las Noches. Only sharing it with their fraccion. Depending on where we end up, we could very well run right into anywhere from the weakest espada to the throne room where the espadas hold their meeting.

(Y/N): Yikes. Wouldn't want to have a full blown war right here and now.

Wiz: Also Aizen and the Espada aren't the only ones living in Las Noches. Previous members of the espadas live here so we aren't going up against just Aizen, his shinigami subordinates and the espada. We're essentially fighting the entirety of Hueco Mundo.

Uryu: You have to be kidding.

Wiz: I'm being very serious. There's also the Exequias. They're a group of arrancars that act as Aizen's execution squad. The Exequias are responsible for terminating any rebels or intruders in Las Noches. So we may face them at some point.

(Y/N): Have you encountered them at any point?

Wiz: I have. Before we start this invasion, I must know what your abilities are. I recall one of you was able to manipulate ice?

Rukia: That would be me.

Wiz: Great! And you, the Quincy! I've heard of your kind before from my Master! I know of your abilities but I've never seen them in action.

Uryu: Well, hopefully I'm the element of surprise here.

Wiz: And you the human! What about yours?

Chad: I can shield may attacks... and I hit things pretty hard...

Wiz: A powerhouse, eh? We need that! And what of the other three shinigamis?

Renji: My ability allows me to extend and detach my blades for long range attacks.

Ichigo: My power and speed increases as well as having the power to shoot spiritual energy from my sword.

(Y/N): I can absorb energy from anything I touch and summon any hollows I've previously defeated.

Wiz: A unique spread of abilities indeed. If we're smart with it we can take Hueco Mundo for ourselves.

(Y/N): That's not really our goal. If you want Hueco Mundo, you can have it. You don't seem like you have any real ill intentions so it should be safe to let you have it.

Wiz: Huh? Then why are you invading Las Noches?

Ichigo: To save a friend.

Wiz: A respectable goal! I guess I can relate!

Ichigo: You mean you're trying to save this "Master" of yours?

Wiz: Great deduction, my dear servant! If I can take not only Las Noches but Hueco Mundo for myself, surely Master will return!

(Y/N): So who exactly is this "Master" of yours? Was she a former espada?

Wiz: Heavens no! You see, the king of Hueco Mundo is now under Aizen's command. He's actually the second strongest of the espadas.

Uryu: Really? Not the first?

Wiz: Apparently the "strongest" arrancar didn't want the title. Anyways, the king had his own fraccion. Yet my Master constantly fought the King and his fraccion by herself. I was inspired to see her fight with ferocity. So I decided to follow her everywhere she went. She initially tried to kill me. A few times actually. But she eventually started letting me follow her around. She didn't teach me anything but I copied a lot from her. Eventually she allowed me to fight alongside her during her many bouts with the King. Master never told me why she wanted the title of Queen so much, but it seemed like it meant a lot to her.

Wiz reminisced with a nostalgic look on her face but it suddenly turned into a frown.

Wiz: Though one day she just vanished. The day prior to her disappearance, we invaded Las Noches. Aizen had taken control of Hueco Mundo and Master wasn't having it. We stormed Las Noches and fought everyone in our paths but we were reckless. In one final attempt, Master told me to leave as she used her last trump card, something she hasn't used even against the king. She was probably saving it for something like this. Although I argue against it she wouldn't take no for an answer. Next thing I knew I was knocked out.

Ichigo: She died?

Wiz: She couldn't have. There would be no reason for me to wake up outside of Las Noches. Master had to have escaped with me! She saved me! I went back to Las Noches myself to look for her or at the very least, find some clues. But I didn't find any...

(Y/N): Must've been rough.

Wiz: Worry not! I have faith she's still out there!

(Y/N): Would you consider your Master on the same level as the #2 Espada?

Wiz: It seems that Master didn't want to use her trump card against him. I think if she did, she'd overpower him. Not to mention she was taking on an entire fraccion alongside the king. She could very well take on the #1 Espada if she wanted to.

Chad: How come an arrancar of such strength wasn't on the Soul Society's radar.

Wiz: Because Master was even smarter than I am. I'm not sure I've ever outsmarted her before. Master always made it a point to avoid going to the World of the Living. She never had a need to do it.

Renji: Well if this Master of yours is really as strong as you say, it's only a matter of time until she's found. The fight between Soul Society and Aizen is going to affect every realm involved.

Wiz: All the more reason to capture Hueco Mundo. What better way to return home than to have an entire realm to call yours! I can see it now! (M/N) La Parca! The Queen of Hueco Mundo!

(Y/N) froze in place. Ichigo looked towards (Y/N).

Ichigo: Hey, doesn't she have the same name as your mom?

(Y/N): ...Wiz... tell me... Did your Master have (H/C) hair?

Wiz: Yeah.

(Y/N): (E/C) eyes?

Wiz: Yep.

(Y/N): Stood around maybe (Height) feet?

Wiz: That's it! Do you know her?

(Y/N): Yeah... That's my mom.

Everyone in the group froze in shock.

Ichigo: W-wait a minute! (Y/N), your mom was an-

(Y/N): An arrancar, yes.

Rukia: Hold on a second. You're half hollow, (Y/N)? When did you find this out?

(Y/N): Not too long ago. It was when the arrancars first started showing up in the World of the Living.

Uryu: This is quite the revelation.

Wiz: This is a shock to me! I didn't know Master had a child.

(Y/N): Two actually. I have a sister as well.

Wiz: I knew master would still be alive.

(Y/N): ... I-

Wiz: Once we take out Aizen, allow me to come with you to meet her.

(Y/N): I'm sorry... I can't...

Wiz: Why not!

(Y/N): I'm sorry to break the news to you... but she's dead.

Wiz was in disbelief. She went decades. Centuries believing that her master would one day return to her.

Wiz: S-say it isn't so...

(Y/N): I'm sorry... I saw her dead body with my own eyes.

Wiz: What was she killed by?

(Y/N): I can't say I'm entirely sure. I was knocked out but when I came through, she was hardly breathing. She was unconscious for a few weeks before she finally passed away.

Wiz: ...

(Y/N): If it makes you feel better, you can come with us after the fight to visit her grave. Think of it as paying respect.

Wiz stared at (Y/N) before picking up her upbeat personality again.

Wiz: Right! Master wouldn't want me to sit around moping! I can mourn once Aizen is dealt with!

Wiz directed her attention to (Y/N).

Wiz: Alright Young Master, the first thing we have to do is attack the throne room!

(Y/N): Wait a minute! Hold up! First of all, fighting Aizen right now is a terrible idea! Second, do not call me Young Master!

Wiz: Who else is going to be the new Ruler of Hueco Mundo if it isn't the son of the great (M/N) la Parca!

(Y/N): Why don't I just pass it on to you?

Wiz: Nonsense! I shall merely act as the first member of your fraccion!

(Y/N): No thanks.

Wiz: W-What? Why not!

(Y/N): I'm not staying here in Hueco Mundo. Once I save my friend from Aizen I'm going back to the World of the Living to prepare for the fight with Aizen.

Wiz: Okay but what about after the fight?

(Y/N): Go back to my daily life as a student.

Wiz: Psh! That's boring, you should definitely rule this place.

The rest of the conversation devolved into Wiz persuading (Y/N) to become the new King of Hueco Mundo. The rest of the group could only watch as Wiz nagged (Y/N) for the rest of the trip.

To be continued

A new character has been introduced. This arc definitely gave me a lot to explore with (M/N) so I'm excited to share it with you guys. In this chatper we found out that (M/N) fought Barragan and his fraccion a few times for the position of ruler of Hueco Mundo.

Wiz is pretty much the chuunibyou stereotype. She speaks really weird and claims she has unrival intelligence and powers. I had fun writing writing her interactions and fight scenes so look forward to those in future chapters.
