Bleach Arc - 7

The day of the execution had arrived. During the last three days Khan had been busy. On the first day he tested his Shadow Pocket and found, whether they were conscious or not, wouldn't matter they would have no memory of being in there. So, Khan couldn't use it to plan ambushes unfortunately, but he could use it to hide someone like Kukaku, Rukia, or anybody else he felt like. It will be useful since Kukaku still wanted to go and Khan didn't want the Soul Reapers questioning the why.

On the second day, Khan decided it was time to slaughter the members of Central 46. Khan had fun, even making it looked like they killed each other.

On the final Khan, double checked to make sure the strife between captains was still going to go down.

The plan was set, Khan was ready watching everything take place, as the same line-up of captains and their lieutenants as seen in the anime took their positions.

Khan watched as the weapon was unleashed and turned into the giant fire bird. The shadows that it created were very helpful to Khan, it allowed him to appear behind the scaffolding, all eyes were on the bird, so no one noticed Khan getting into position.

When Ichigo appeared and blocked the bird, before Rukia could react, Khan broke the restraints holding Rukia.

Ichigo's lack of reaction told Rukia that Ichigo had agreed with Khan's plan, even if it wasn't technically true. Right then when Captain Jushiro Ukitake showed up and with the help of Captain Shunsui Kyoraku they destroyed the fire bird weapon, and Khan used that as a distraction to get away.

Khan made it to the halfway point when he handed Rukia to Kukaku, and disappeared into her shadow. Lieutenant Marechiyo Omeada noticed Kukaku, but didn't recognize Kukaku.

Captain Soi-fun shouted for all lieutenants to pursue and stop them. The scene played out just like the anime, except Khan had secretly knocked out Renji so that he wouldn't be able to show up. When Kukaku and Rukia made it to the forest, Khan was there waiting for them.

Khan said, "good job Kukaku." Kukaku just said, "whatever." Harribel and the Tres Bestias came out of Khan's shadow and Kukaku went in. Rukia unsure of what she just saw, just asked, "what are we waiting for?"

"We're waiting for Ichigo's fight with your brother to finish." said Khan, and they watched as Ichigo and Byakuya fought, and just like the anime Ichigo held the advantage. Until the halfway point when Ichigo started taking hits and lost himself to his inner Hollow.

Rukia saw what was happening to Ichigo and flinched. Khan noticed Rukia's reaction and smiled to himself. At the fights end Byakuya acknowledged it as Ichigo's victory and left presumably to get treated, leaving Ichigo alone to pass out.

Khan and the others emerged from the forest, when Khan passed Ichigo's unconscious body, he was tempted to just kill him right then and there, but Khan had something special planned for Ichigo further down the road.

As they reached their place beneath the scaffolding that held Rukia, Aizen appeared along with Gin and Tosen. Ichigo's friends also showed up, Orihime began healing Ichigo immediately. Byakuya and Toshiro also appeared, followed closely by the remaining captains. Khan found the confusion on their faces was understandable. Then Yoruichi and Rangiku showed up, only they didn't surround Gin like the anime, Yoruichi was standing by Ichigo looking for an opportunity to grab Rukia, while Rangiku was standing by her captain, who was demanding to know why Aizen had hurt Momo.

Aizen removed his glasses, then slicked back his hair, and gave his villain reveal speech. Before anyone could do anything, a massive Garganta opened up revealing countless Gillians. The light surrounded Aizen, Gin, Tosen, Khan, and his crew. Khan was silent during that whole affair, leaving the impression that Aizen had arranged everything, and that's just how Khan wanted. Ichigo regained consciousness just in time to see Rukia be taken away by Khan, and he couldn't help but think he made a terrible mistake. (Which he did.)

A little bit later Khan found himself back at Hueco Mundo or more specifically in front of the gates of Las Noches. After entering Aizen lead everyone down one corridor, while Gin and Tosen went down another. While they were walking, Khan took the opportunity to subtlety remove Kukaku from his shadow. Whether Aizen simply didn't notice or doesn't care Khan couldn't tell, but Aizen made no comment.

During their walk Khan realized Aizen would probably ask for a name, Khan had a first but would probably need a last.

They arrived at their destination, there stood a rather sizable chamber. Aizen said, "this will give you the power you seek, step inside and we'll get started."

Khan stepped inside as the doors closed Aizen placed the Hogyoku in a slot and pressed some buttons. Steam rose up, honestly Khan would have compared it to a hot shower. The "steam" block everyone's view of Khan while his body transformed.

The doors opened up as Khan stepped out. Khan's new body was now 6'4, olive tan skin, hazel brown eyes, short void black hair, body build like a boxer, and his mask now looked like a solid metal plate covering his mouth from under his chin to the bottom of his nose, and it stretched from ear to ear.

Khan felt a beating heart within his chest as the hole in his chest was now gone. Khan saw the new notice.

[Achieve Evolution to Arrancar (Completed) Reward - 10,000 BP x5 Lover Lottery Tickets, x5 Companion Lottery Tickets, your own Zanpakuto

Notice a seed has been planted in Kukaku Shiba]

Khan decided to put that last bit on the back burner for now, Khan focused on the Zanpakuto that was now in front of him. When he grabbed it, he knew its name and the phrase to activate his Resurreccion.

Then Khan heard Aizen say, "interesting, you still have a mask, but that hole of yours is filled meaning you are a rare perfect Arrancar, and these readings show you are more than qualified for the Espada. Now normally I would pit you against a current member to determine where you stand, but there is currently in opening for the third position, so it's yours."

As soon as Aizen said that the number 3 appeared on Khan's left shoulder blade. Then Aizen asked, "for the record could you please state your name."

Khan thought for a moment then said, "it's Khan, Khan Vaciar." Aizen nodded then said, "let's get the members of your Fraccion done then we can discuss the new benefits of your position." Aizen handed Khan some clothes, and he got dressed.

Harribel was the next one to enter. After a few minutes Harribel emerged from the chamber. Khan thought she was beautiful, dark-tan skin, blonde hair deep blue eyes, and her mask covered the lower half of her face, extending down to her chest.

Aizen hesitated before giving her clothes, not because he was admiring her body, but because she was also a perfect Arrancar. Aizen then said, "since you three are Adjuchas you can go in at once."

Apacci, Mila Rose, and Sung-Sun entered, then a few minutes later they emerged as well. Khan stood there admiring their bodies. Apacci had a slim build, white skin, neck length blue hair, but her most prominent feature was her eyes, her right was light blue, while her left eye was light brown. Mila Rose had a strong looking body, definitely the tallest of the three, dark skin, long wavy brown hair, green eyes.

Then there was Sung-Sun, she had a petite body, long straight green hair, pale white skin, she also had green eyes. Of course, their masks look more like head pieces now which was just fine for Khan. Aizen promptly tossed them clothes, and after everyone was dressed, he said, "Mr. Vaciar you are now Espada No. 3 as such there is one rule you should be aware of, never fire a grand-cero or unleash your Resurreccion within the walls of Las Noches. There is also territory set aside for you, there is currently a palace there feel free to redecorate as please."

Aizen handed Khan a piece of paper showing where it was in Las Noches. Then Aizen said, "follow me I'll introduce you to your fellow Espada, then you and your Fraccion can get settled." Khan and the others followed, but Khan was slightly distracted by the new notice.
