Epilogue: Arrancar Master Aizen! The Ferocity of the Ultimate Powerhouse!
Before we enter part 2, I want to show what happened when Chopper was taken from Sabaody. Enjoy.
After the events that took place in Sabaody, Chopper was to the palace in Hueco Mundo known as Las Noches. While being lead to Aizen's throne room by Ulquiorra, Chopper looked around the hallways of the fortress.
'This place is worlds beyond a marine bass,' he thought, 'So these aren't with the world government. But who are they and what do they want with me? Unless, they're trying make a trap for Luffy and the others and use me as bait.'
Once they got to the room, Chopper saw two female arrancars (Loly and Menoly), a man on his throne wearing the same kind of clothing as the arrancars wear (Sosuke Aizen, former captain of soul reaper squad 5), and a girl about 16 years of age (same as Vivi) with orange hair along with flower hairpins on each side of her hair and wearing some kind school uniform (Orihime Inoue).
"Loly, Menoly, please leave us." Aizen ordered.
"But sir, we can't leave with someone like her." Menoly said.
Aizen gave those two arrancars a glare and said, "Don't worry, we won't be alone. As matter of fact, here comes the second guest of honor."
Ulquiorra appeared with Chopper in his hand and said, "Sir, your second guest."
"Thank you, Ulquiorra. All of you need leave us now."
The three arrancars what they were told and left Aizen's quarters. Orihime saw the door closed and then looked at Chopper.
'A reindeer,' she thought, 'why would Aizen take him too?'
"Welcome, both of you to Hueco Mundo," Aizen greeted, "I apologize for the cruel means in which to you two here. But, I thought a written invitation would be turned down."
"Who are you," Chopper demanded, "Why are we here?"
"Well then, I suppose I should introduce myself," Aizen said, "My name is Sosuke Aizen and this is palace, Las Noches. As for why the both of you are, allow me to show you something."
Aizen revealed a strange object to Chopper but Orihime already knows what it is.
'What is this sensation I'm feeling,' she thought, 'could it be?'
"What is it," Chopper asked.
"This is the Hogyoku," Aizen explained.
"Hogyoku? What's that?"
"The hogyoku is like a barrier between hollows and soul reapers," said Aizen, "It's also the item I used to create the arrancars and one of the few things I to create the Oken."
Aizen got up from his chair and walked to the two and said to Orihime, "Orihime, your powers is another thing needed to create the Oken. You have the ability to reject certain phenomenon and make certain appear as if it never happened."
'Reject phenomenon,' Chopper thought, 'Make this seem like the event never happened? She's eaten a devil fruit. But what type?'
"As for you Tony Tony Chopper, I took a look at your abilities as well. A reindeer with the ability as human by the powers of a devil fruit and ability to change into multiple forms, I need your help to put the Oken in place."
'A devil fruit,' Orihime thought, 'What's that?'
"And if I refuse," Chopper said to Aizen.
"Don't worry," Aizen with an evil smile on his face, "You're not going to refuse. If you do, your crew members will be hunted down and be disposed of."
"YOU WON'T DARE," Chopper yelled with tears in his eyes, "LEAVE MY FRIENDS OUT OF THIS! WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO YOU?"
"You need not to worry; your friend will be safe if the both of you are willing to help me. Now follow me."
Aizen led Orihime and Chopper to a room the espadas have their meetings.
'There's gotta be a way out of this place,' Chopper thought, 'I hope Luffy and the others are okay. But this girl seems like she was forced here too. In that case, we both need to escape.'
"I must say there are a lot of people here in the palace that wanted just Orihime to be here," Aizen confessed, "When they heard I was having a pirate brought to Las Noches, they were extremely upset. Is it right, Luppi?"
Then a door opened up and a man with a piece of a mask from one side of his hair to the halfway point of the back of his head. He is the arrancar that took Grimmjow's place as espada #6, Luppi Antenor.
"You got that right," he responded, "We were happy when you said that girl will be the one joining us you didn't say anything about the reindeer until the last minute. And on top of that, you send Ulquiorra and Yammy to Sabaody to deal with those pirates. I want to see if they were worth the trouble to have such high bounties as they do."
Chopper glared at Luppi and yelled, "HEY YOU, QUIT TALKING ABOUT MY FRIENDS LIKE THAT!"
Luppi turned his attention to Chopper and said, "What was that, you pipsqueak? I'm one of the espadas. So that means I can kill you in an instinct."
"I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A MARINE! I'M LETTING YOU TALK ABOUT LUFFY AND THE OTHERS THAT WAY!"
"Luffy?"
"He's the captain of the pirate crew in which he belongs to and the man with the 300,000,000 berry bounty on his head," Ulquiorra said as he entered the room, "Even though this one bounty is small, it's best not to underestimate him, Luppi. I don't know about his involvement, but the girl agrees to help us with our goal."
"As long as you didn't harm any of her friends in the world of the living," Aizen said, "I see, well we will treat her word as if she was speaking of the both of them."
Chopper looked at Orihime as she to the ground with a sad look on her face and thought, 'She sacrificed herself to her friends? Just like what Robin did for us at Water 7.'
"Let's put her powers to the test by letting her heal Grimmjow's missing left arm."
It was at that moment a one-arm Grimmjow appeared behind Aizen. Chopper saw the action and thought, 'How did he do that?'
Grimmjow scoffed and saw Chopper hiding behind Orihime in the reversed way. "What's with the creature," he asked.
"Now is not the time for questions, Grimmjow," Aizen said, "Allow Orihime to return your left arm to you."
Luppi laughed and said, "There's no way she could do that Lord Aizen. His arm was cut off by Kaname, don't you remember?"
Orihime prepares to heal Grimmjow's missing arm as she use her Shun Shun Rika.
"This won't work," Luppi said, "Don't think your little magic trick will save you from getting killed."
Girmmjow's left arm started to reappear from Orihime's technique. Chopper and Luppi's eyes widen by what they saw.
'No way,' Chopper thought, 'She did eat a devil fruit. There's no way a regular person could do that.'
"There's no way," Luppi said shocked, "What kind of witchcraft is this?"
"It's like I said," Aizen explained, "She has the ability to reject certain events as if they never happened. She's more special than we first thought."
"Yes," Ulquiorra agreed, "And along with the reindeer, she will be of good use of us."
"In that case," Grimmjow said, "Come here girl, I need you to heal one more thing."
As Orihime walked towards Grimmjow to heal the scar Ichigo gave him, Luppi stood up and yelled, "STOP RIGHT THERE, YOU STUPID LITTLE GIRL!"
Grimmjow then sonidoed to Luppi and drove his newly reborn arm through Luppi's chest. Orihime covered her mouth when she saw that as Chopper screamed and thought, 'These guys are monsters. Every last one of them are monsters.'
Luppi coughed up blood and said weakly, "G-Grimmjow, you bastard. What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Taking my job back," Grimmjow responded, "Thanks filling in for me, but your days as one of the espada are over."
Grimmjow then fired a red cero and turned Luppi into ashes. Chopper looked on terrified as he thought, 'These guys are crazy. No way this girl could've agreed to help these guys without being forced to. I don't think even Luffy can't last 5 seconds against these guys.' Then the number 6 tatoo appeared on Grimmjow's side, indicating that he regained his rank in the espada.
"Ulquiorra," Aizen called, "Tell the other espadas to get here at 8 o'clock."
"Yes sir," Ulquiorra said as he left the room.
