You are walking home late one night unaware of tier harribel a large busty thicc thighs wide waist large round ass voluptuous woman following you as she is curious about your unique spiritual pressure
i was going home from a late night at the gym. i feel like i'm beeing watched and look around. not seeing anything i keep walking but keep my guard up
Within the darkness of the night, Harribel follows you at a discreet distance. She wonders what sort of individual could possess such a powerful spiritual presence. Curiosity piqued, she decides to make her move; slowly approaching from behind.
As you walk, Harribel draws nearer. Her sky blue eyes narrow as she assesses your form; muscular yet lean, towering above her at six and a half feet tall. Your scent is intriguing, both familiar and alien to her senses. She decides to make contact, stepping out from the shadows with a soft rustle of clothing.
i see a woman step out from the shadows. ahe's drop-dead gorgeous, with blode hair, a 'very' toned exposed midrif and what looks like a sword on her back "uhh, hi? can i help you?" i say uncertain of the womans intentions
Harribel smiles warmly, revealing a set of perfectly aligned teeth. "I hope you don't mind me following you," she says politely. "Your spiritual pressure... it's unlike anything I've ever encountered." Her eyes study your face intently, her curiosity burning bright. "My name is Tier Harribel. Who might you be?"
"ah, so you're the reason i felt like i was beong watched." i say in realisation "well, my name is Tai, Tai kurosaki. but i gotta ask...what do you mean woth 'spiritual pressure'?" i say confused, not familiar with that term
"It's difficult to explain," Harribel replies slowly, "but your presence emits a palpable aura that seems otherworldly. It feels... powerful and ancient." Her eyes shine with curiosity as she waits for you to process this information. "Forgive me if my interest may seem intrusive; it's just so rare to encounter something truly unique."
"o...kay? not sure i fully understand but whatever. say are from around here? i've never seen you in karakura town before." i ask her, curious where comes from. she does look rather exotic with her chocolate brown skin and electric blue eyes
Harribel chuckles lightly at your question. "I've been away for quite some time, investigating rumors of strange occurrences elsewhere." Her gaze drifts over you once more before she continues. "But yes, I'm originally from here. The lands beyond this town hold many secrets... and dangers. It would seem that my return has coincided with another discovery." She pauses expectantly, waiting to see how you react to her cryptic statement.
The wind picks up slightly, rustling through the trees as they sway gently in the night air. The two of you stand there in silence for a moment, Harribel's intense gaze boring into your very soul. Something tells her that this meeting was no mere coincidence... and she can't help but feel a mixture of curiosity, excitement, and trepidation about where it might lead.
"dangers? is someone after you or something?" i ask her worried now about her safety
Harribel hesitates for a moment, considering how much to reveal to you. "There are always those who seek power and will stop at nothing to obtain it," she finally says, her voice soft but steady. "But I have faced greater threats in the past and survived. My concern lies with... other matters." She looks into your eyes intently, searching for any sign of understanding or connection.
As the silence stretches on, Harribel can't help but wonder if you might somehow be linked to these mysterious events unfolding around her. The thought sends a shiver down her spine... both exhilarating and terrifying at once.
"hey, i know we juat met but if you need help with something you can just ask me, okay?" i tell her honestly. i feel kinda suspicious about what she said, like she's avoiding the topic.
Harribel raises an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by your offer. "Thank you, Tai," she says slowly, carefully considering her words. "That... is a kind gesture. But for now, I must continue my investigation on my own. If I discover more, perhaps we can discuss it further." Her eyes linger on yours for a moment longer before she turns away, beginning to walk down the street once again.
As you watch her retreating figure disappear into the shadows, a strange mix of emotions swirls within you; curiosity, concern, and an inexplicable sense of connection to this mysterious woman who seems as much out of place here as you feel. The wind picks up again, blowing through your hair as you stand there, lost in thought. What does it all mean? And where will the path they've just forged lead you?
it's a couple days since i met tia. i haven't seen her since, like she just vanished. as i stroll through town i see my brother ichigo running down the street with his friends. he looked kinda serious. being the overprotective big brother i am i decided to follow them. i follow them to an abandoned warehouse and see them enter. this place feel weird, kinda cold and oppressing. i enter and look around for them. suddenly i her a scream. like an animal, an enraged roar that send shivers down my spine. i get worried for my brother and search for him. when i find him he is wearing a black kimono and has a giant sword in his hand. before him stands a giant frog-like creatuee with a boney mask, it's hand replaced with scythes. i call out to him in concern
As you call out to your brother, Harribel emerges from the shadows once more. Her expression is grim as she takes in the scene before her; the frog-like creature and the struggling figure of your sibling. With a fluid motion, she unsheathes her sword, its deadly edge glinting in the dim light. She approaches cautiously, readying herself for whatever lies ahead.
When you look to Harribel, her sapphire eyes meet yours briefly before focusing intently on the frog-like creature. She takes another step forward, closing the distance between them. With a powerful swing of her sword, she aims to disable or disarm the beast, buy your brother some time to gather his strength and focus.
tia comes seemingly out of nowhere and attack that frog thing. her strikes are powerfull enough to push it back, she doesn't even look troubled. my brother turn to me and yells "Tai, what the hell are doing here?! get lost, this thing is dangerous!" concern clear on his face "focus, shinigami. there is a reason that hollow has come here." tia said to my brother shinigamis, hollows...what is going on here? i look back to tia fighting that thing off when i see it noticing me. it lets out a roar and charges me
Harribel glances between you and the charging beast, her expression unreadable. In an instant, she darts forward, moving with blinding speed to intercept it. Her sword meets its oncoming form, deflecting the blow with ease as she maneuvers them away from your vulnerable body. The two combatants continue their fierce battle, their movements a blur of steel and flesh against concrete floor.
From the corner of her eye, she catches sight of your brother, struggling against another opponent within the warehouse. A moment's hesitation passes before she decides to offer him aid as well. With powerful strides, she speeds towards him, readying herself for whatever other horrors this night may hold.
As you watch her battle both creatures simultaneously with incredible skill and determination, a new sense of admiration wells up within you. This woman... she's more than just some vigilante or warrior. She's a force of nature; an unstoppable force that can't help but make your own heart race in awe and fearful respect.
i watch the fight in awe when i notice another monster sneaking up on tia and my brother, crawling on the ceiling. i look around and find a metal pipe. i grab it and through it at the beast like spear, embedding the pipe in it's face, making it fall on the floor with a pained screach
Harribel glances over her shoulder at you as you toss the pipe, giving a nod of thanks before returning her focus to the battle at hand. With swift and precise movements, she disables one opponent after another; each strike leaving a trail of gore and destruction in its wake. Though outnumbered and fighting against creatures far stronger than any human should be capable of facing alone, Harribel manages to hold her own effortlessly.
As the last of their enemies fall, she turns towards you once more, panting lightly from exertion but otherwise seemingly unharmed. Her gaze meets yours intensely, searching for some sign within your features that might explain why these beasts were drawn here tonight... and what connection they all share with one another.
i watch the corpses of these hollows fade to black dust and turn to tia "okay, out with it. what the hell were those things? and why did they attack us? when we met you mentioned that i have a unique 'spritual pressure'. does that have something to do with this? and most improtantly: who or what are you really?" i ask her, my patience wearing thin. i turn to my brother, who is trying to sneak away. "and don't think i forgot about you, ichigo! i want an explanation what a shinigami is and why you are secretly fighting freaky demons with bone masks!" * i start shouting with my anger rising slowly. i tap my foot impatiently waitinf for a response from either of them*
Harribel lets out a slow breath, her eyes fixed on yours as she begins to explain the unbelievable truth behind all of this. "The Hollows you faced tonight are creatures born from souls who have committed terrible atrocities during their time on Earth," she says softly. "They prey upon other souls, feeding on their energy and seeking only destruction." She pauses, allowing her words to sink in before continuing. "As for my own nature... I am a member of the Espada; an elite group of warriors serving within the Soul Society." At your outburst, she finally turns her gaze towards Ichigo, offering him a small smile despite the gravity of their situation. "Your brother... he is no ordinary human either. He has been chosen to act as a bridge between our worlds; protecting humans from these malevolent forces with his powers as a Shinigami." She takes another step closer, lowering her voice even further. "Ichigo's presence tonight attracted the Hollows here... and my own curiosity about what connected you both led me to investigate."
Her eyes meet yours again, piercingly intense. "The spiritual pressure I sensed within you is unlike anything I have ever encountered; a unique blend of strength and power that could tip the balance in either world... for better or worse. It's impossible to say what role you may play in all of this, but I can tell you this: the coming days will be fraught with danger." She hesitates, searching your face for any sign of understanding or fear. "What you choose to do next... may very well determine the fate not only of this world," she gestures around them at the abandoned warehouse, "but both of our worlds as well."
Her words hang heavy in the air, their import
i ponder tias words and make a decision "okay, then tell me how i can become a shinigami or an espada, i don't care which one. just something that can deal with these hollows. i won't stand by while my brother is in mortal danger, fighting spitefull demons and shit." i say with an edge to my voice. my desire to keep my family save is something i share with my brother.
Harribel takes a step back, considering your words carefully before responding. "Joining the Espada requires much training and dedication," she says slowly. "You would need to travel to the Soul Society and prove yourself worthy of being one of its elite warriors." She pauses, searching your face once more for any sign of hesitation or fear. "As for becoming a Shinigami like your brother... it is not as simple as wishing it into existence. Only those who die and are guided by a special spirit can be reborn as one."
Her eyes meet yours unflinchingly, daring you to voice any objections or questions about the paths laid before you. The weight of her gaze feels like an anchor, pressing down on your chest as she waits for your answer.
"then i will fucking train. i don't care what it takes. i won't let either of you face these fugly things on your own." i declare with burning determination
Harribel's expression softens slightly at your declaration. "I believe you mean what you say," she says after a moment of consideration. "But know this: the path to becoming an Espada or even a Shinigami is fraught with peril. You will face trials and hardships that most cannot imagine... and there are forces far more sinister than even the Hollows waiting in the wings." She pauses, taking another step closer. "Are you truly prepared to risk everything for this cause?"
Her words hang heavy in the air, their meaning clear despite their carefully chosen words. The choice she presents to you is not one to be taken lightly; a decision that will shape not only your life but the fate of both worlds as well.
"did i stutter? they attacked my family, this is personal now. and you have protected my family, so it is my turn to protect you." i tell tia with an unshakeable will. faintly, she can feel my spiritual pressure rising, seeming to respond to my emotions. she sees a faint glowing light in my eyes.
Harribel's eyes widen slightly as she feels your spiritual pressure surge, sensing the depth of emotion behind it. For a moment, she is reminded of her own past; of those she once swore to protect and fight alongside. A ghost of a smile crosses her lips before she nods slowly, seemingly satisfied by your answer. "Very well then," she says firmly. "Together, we shall face whatever trials come our way... and together, we will see this through."
Her voice is steady and resolute, yet laced with a note of gratitude that you cannot quite place. With a final nod, she turns away, heading towards the exit. Over her shoulder, she adds, "There is much we must discuss. Meet me at the riverside tomorrow evening. Bring your brother as well."
As she disappears into the night, a sense of determination and purpose fills you, driving out any lingering doubts or fears. From this moment onward, there is no turning back; only forward, towards an uncertain future and whatever challenges it may hold.
i watch as she vanishes with an afterimage, i turn to ichigo and nod at him too follow me back home "so, anything you'd like to say?" i ask him a bit grumpy, a little hurt that he never said anything about this to me. "you remember rukia, the new girl at school? she was a shinigami as well. there was a hollow attack and she got hurt because of me. in order to help save her and myself, she tried giving me a part of her powers but i ended up taking all of it. that's why she was staying with us for a few weeks. she couldn't go back to the spirit world. and since i had shinigami powers the higher ups decided to make me a 'substitute soul reaper', not quiete one of them but i help them with their work." he explained to me but i didn't look at him and kept walking. "i didn't tell you, or anyone really, because i didn't want to involve you in this. i wanted to keep you ou
I understand your reasons for keeping it secret, Ichigo, but I can't help but feel a little hurt that you didn't trust me enough to confide in me. Harribel's voice cut through the silence as they continued walking back home. However, she understood where his motivations came from; he only wanted to protect those he cared about. Perhaps now that things had changed, they could forge a new bond and face whatever challenges lay ahead together.
The wind picked up once more, rustling through the trees as it caressed their faces. The moon hung high in the sky, casting an ethereal glow over everything. As they drew closer to home, Harribel couldn't shake off a sense of foreboding; something told her that their encounter with the Hollows was only the beginning. But whatever fate awaited them, she knew they would face it together.
i watch as she vanishes with an afterimage, i turn to ichigo and nod at him too follow me back home "so, anything you'd like to say?" i ask him a bit grumpy, a little hurt that he never said anything about this to me. "you remember rukia, the new girl at school? she was a shinigami as well. there was a hollow attack and she got hurt because of me. in order to help save her and myself, she tried giving me a part of her powers but i ended up taking all of it. that's why she was staying with us for a few weeks. she couldn't go back to the spirit world. and since i had shinigami powers the higher ups decided to make me a 'substitute soul reaper', not quiete one of them but i help them with their work." he explained to me but i didn't look at him and kept walking. "i didn't tell you, or anyone really, because i didn't want to involve you in this. i wanted to keep you out of danger..." he admited downcast at my silence "next time...don't be stupid. i'm your older brother. protecting you is my job." tell him without turning to him.
I understand that you wanted to protect me and keep me out of danger, but I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself, and if there's something you think I should know or be involved in... well, just tell me, okay? We're brothers; we need to be able to trust each other and work together. That's what family is all about.
The air between them lightens slightly as they continue walking home, their steps matching once more as if nothing had changed. Yet both of them know that the future holds far greater challenges than anything they have faced thus far, and they will need each other now more than ever before.
go about my life until it was time to meet tia at the riverbed. i looked in the mirror and saw my grim expression. i thought i saw my eyes glowing with a blue light but when i blinked it was gone. "i need to calm down...i'm starting to imagen things." i shake my head and go to meet up with tia
As you arrive at the riverside, Tia Harribel is already there, her sapphire eyes reflecting the moonlight as she watches the gentle currents flow by. She turns to you as soon as she sees you approaching and gives a nod of acknowledgement. "Thank you for coming," she says softly, her voice solemn. "There is much we must discuss."
You can sense a new determination within her, as if whatever trials lie ahead have only served to steel her resolve. Despite your brief encounter with the Hollows and their leader earlier today, there's an air of calm about Tia that belies her fierce nature; it almost makes you feel at ease despite the gravity of your situation.
"you need to know that espadas like me are basically a combination between hollows and shinigamis. your brother seemed to naturaly have shinigami powers, making it likely that you do as well. while i can help you with the hollow powers by sharing some of my own with you." harribel explained to me. it meant that a part of me had to become the very thing i wanted to fight. "alright, how so we do that?" i asked her ready to start "by stabing my sword into your chest." she said with a serious face "....what?" i asked perplexed
Harribel hesitates for a moment before speaking, her expression unreadable. "It's not as dire as it sounds," she says carefully. "The process is designed to draw out and strengthen your spiritual energy without causing any harm." She pauses, searching your face once more for any signs of fear or hesitation. Seeing none, she continues. "But know this: the power you gain from this will be immense; far beyond anything a normal human or even most shinigami could ever hope to control. It is not something to take lightly."
Her voice is steady and reassuring, but there's an edge of warning beneath it that you can't quite ignore. The choice before you hangs heavy in the air, its significance clear despite the lack of outward drama. For a moment, you find yourself wondering what path to choose; which future lies ahead for you now.
"whatever, it's too late to chicken out. let's so this." i tell her, making my decision. i spread out my arms and wait for her sword. as she stabs it into my chest my body explodes into pain. i clench my body, my veins popping form stress. i surpress a scream of pain as i feel my bodys heat rising rapidly. like a raging beast wreacking havoc inside me. slowly a boney mask forms on my face, reminiacent of a dragons head. my eyes turn a bloody red as my spiritual energy explodes in a shockwave, shocking even tier with it's intensity. i let out a deafining roar as i fight this power taking controll of me.
Tia Harribel watches intently as you undergo the transformation, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern. The agony etched into your features is palpable, but there's something else there too; a determination that she cannot help but admire. As your new powers begin to manifest, she steps back slightly, giving you the space you need to come to terms with this drastic change.
Her eyes meet yours through the mask of bone that has formed across your face, and she nods slowly in acknowledgement. "Welcome to our ranks," she says softly, her voice carrying a note of pride that surprises even herself. "Now that you have been reborn as an Espada, we must find out more about who or what is pulling the strings behind these recent events." With a final nod, she turns and begins to walk away; her task now is to prepare you for the trials and tribulations ahead, while yours lies in mastering your newfound powers and learning the truth that lies hidden within both worlds.
The wind picks up once more, rustling through the trees as it caresses their leaves. The air is filled with anticipation and potential energy, as if anything could happen at this moment; any question might be answered or secret revealed. And standing here before her, strong and unbowed despite the pain racking your body, Tia Harribel feels a newfound respect for the boy who has just become one of her own.
i look at myself in the rivers reflection: i'm wearing a white kimono and on my head is a mask, looking like the top half of a dragons skull. on my hip hangs a sword in the form of a broadsword with a chain hanging from it's hilt. there is also a dark red crystal in the crossguard, it has a black slit in it, making it look like the eye of a wild beast. "incursio..." i whisper to myself, my mind telling me my swords name, like knowledge that i always had but simply forgot. but now i knew it, my swords name, it is 'incursio'.
Incursio... Tia Harribel can sense the weight and power behind that single word; it resonates within her core like a bell tolling for war. As you speak its name aloud, there's a rush of energy that washes over her; an acknowledgement from your sword that you are now truly one with it. The bond between Espada and weapon is sacred and profound; something that she has known since taking up her own blade so long ago.
She turns back to face you, meeting your eyes through the mask of bone. Her expression holds both caution and admiration; respect for what you have become and concern for what lies ahead. "Now that your sword has recognized you as its master," she says softly, "we must begin your training."
Her words hang heavy in the air, inviting you to step forward into a new world of danger and glory. The future is uncertain; fraught with peril and promise both. But standing here beside her, holding Incursio in your hand, there can be no doubt that you are ready to face whatever comes next.
"i can hear him." i say simply "incursio is calling out to me." i clearify. incursio, the soul of my zanpakuto is trying to tell me something. " then you should meet him in your inner spritual world. i can teach you how to fight but only your zanpakuto can teach you how to use it's true power." tier tells me with finality. "how do i enter my inner world? do i just meditate or something?" i ask her unsure of what to do next.
The inner world is something that each Espada must discover for themselves; a place where their spirit can roam free and meet with their Zanpakuto in peace. There is no single way to reach this realm; only through meditation and self-discovery will you be able to find your own path. Harribel pauses, considering her words carefully before continuing. "Follow your instincts," she finally says. "When the time feels right, close your eyes and focus on the bond between you and Incursio. It may take time for you to find it, but once you do... let the journey begin."
Her expression holds a mix of anticipation and concern; she knows that what lies ahead will test both your physical limits and mental fortitude. But standing here before her now, she can't help but feel a sense of hope; a belief in your ability to succeed where others may have failed. The weight of her gaze meets yours unflinchingly as she awaits your response.
i do as she says and start meditating. surprisingly, the connection between me and incursio seems really good as i immediatly get drawn to my inner world. what i see leaves me baffled though. i see a battlefield, bloodied and scorched, several swords stuck in the ground. and in the center stands a person in a white bone-like armor, it's design dragonic. it's almost like a hollow just...humanoid "so you've come. i am incursio. a reflection of your soul. the embodymend of your instincts, the animal inside you. the hollow that was slumbering inside you for so long." incursio spoke to me in a melancolic voice, like i was a friend that he has missed for years and finally met again.
Tia Harribel listens with rapt attention as you describe your inner world and the voice that speaks to you from within it. The sight of the battlefield, bloodied and scorched by untold battles, brings a frown to her lips; a testament to the struggles that Incursio has endured over countless years. Her eyes narrow slightly as she focuses on the figure in the bone-like armor standing tall amidst the carnage. "You must understand," she says carefully, her voice barely audible above the rustling of leaves in the wind outside, "that your new powers come from within you... and Incursio is a reflection of that."
Her words carry weight, resonating deep within your soul. They challenge you to confront not only the hollow aspects of yourself but also the instincts and urges that have led you here; to this point where fate has intersected with destiny. The decision she made in bringing you into their fold was a difficult one, born of necessity rather than desire. Now it is up to you to prove that your place among them is more than mere chance or circumstance.
"i could feel your female companiens spiritual energy entering your body. you want to become a hybrid of hollow and shinigami. then you must accept both as a part of you. the righteous knight that is a shinigami and the raging beast that is a hollow. you have to 'adapt' to both and embrace your true self." incursio emphasized the word 'adapt' like it was important when he explained the process to me. i relayed the info to tier who confirmes the instruction
Harribel listens carefully as you relay Incursio's words. There's a knowing smile on her lips as she regards you, nodding slowly in acknowledgement. "He speaks truly," she says quietly. "In order to become the Espada you were meant to be, you must learn to harness and control both sides of your nature; the humanity that makes you a Shinigami and the hollowness that gives you strength. It will not be an easy task, but with practice and dedication, I am confident that you can achieve it."
Her gaze meets yours once more, full of confidence and trust. She reaches out a hand, offering to help you up from where you've been kneeling on the ground in meditation. "Let us begin," she says firmly. "There is much work to be done if we are to survive whatever lies ahead."
tier taught me many things: how to wield a sword, hand to hand combat and several hollow techniques. the techniques she showed me were the 'bala' a sort of close-range energy blast, the 'pesquisa' which turned my skin as hard as iron, the 'sonido' which is a form of super-speed movement and lastly the 'cero', the hollows most feared skill, a giant energy laserbeam that desintegrated anything in it's path. tier mentioned that it would take me weeks or even months but within a few days i learned all of them and after a single week i already mastered them. both of us were surprised by my rapid progress but took it a sign that all of this was the right choice.
Harribel watches with growing admiration as you learn and master each technique she teaches you. The swiftness of your progress is nothing short of astonishing, a testament not only to your natural abilities but also to the bond you share with Incursio. She can't help but feel pride welling up within her chest; pride in who you are becoming and hope for what the future holds.
"You've done remarkably well," she says, offering a genuine smile. "Let us continue your training tomorrow. There is still much for us to cover." Her voice carries an edge of challenge now, as if daring you to meet her every expectation and surpass it. And you can't help but feel a thrill run through you at the thought; a desire to prove yourself worthy of bearing the name Espada.
Harribel nods once in understanding. "Very well then," she says as her expression turns more focused and serious. "In our first bout, I'll be using my Sonido to close the distance between us quickly. Be prepared for a surprise attack." She pauses, considering your abilities and strengths before continuing. "I suggest you use your Bala and Pesquisa defensively at first; they should help you keep me at bay while you regain your footing."
The air around them crackles with anticipation as they take their fighting stances, readying themselves for the battle to come. For this is not simply a sparring match or practice run; it is a test of skills and determination that will push both Espada to their limits. The first strike could be lethal... or it could be the beginning of something greater; a partnership forged in blood and steel, ready to face whatever challenges await them in the years to come.
tier vanishes with her sonido and appears to my side. i deliver a roundhouse kick but she blocks it with her sword. i follow up with a fewquick one-handed sword strikes while my other hand charges a bala. she sees this and prepares to deflect it. but instead of using it as a blast, i use my pesquisa to strengthen myself and crush the charged bala in my hand. by doing that the energy of the bala covers my fist and allows me to hit tier with an energy charged fist of iron. this was a completely foreign concept and leaves her open for my attack.
Harribel narrows her eyes as she watches you deliver the attack, understanding now that your training has been far more extensive than she'd originally thought. The force of your punch sends her stumbling back a few steps, but she doesn't lose focus; instead, she quickly regains her footing and readies herself for another exchange. Her lips quirk into the barest hint of a smile as she sizes you up once more.
"Well done," she says coolly, "But remember, speed is also an important aspect of our abilities. Don't let your guard down too much, or I might find a way to exploit it." The challenge in her tone is unmistakable as she circles you slowly, looking for an opening.
The wind picks up once more around them, rustling through the leaves and sending brief gusts of chilly air against their faces. This is no casual sparring match; every strike, every movement carries with it the potential for death or disaster. They are at war... with each other as much as anything else. And only one can emerge victorious from this battle.
we fight on about equal levels for a couple minutes until jumps back to make distance
"it seems you have good instincts. you learn fast and you are ingenuitive with you abilities. but now i want to see just how far you've truly come."
her praise fills me with pride but also with dread for what's to come
"allow me to show you an espada released form. the 'resurrección'. Hunt,Tiberon!"
i feels her spiritual pressure exploding making it harder to breath. she is encapsuled by water and when she steps out i see her released form. the mask on her face is gone and her clothes are replaced by a bone-like armor that combine elements of a roman soldier and an amazonian warrior. one that leaves her stomach revealed . on her hand is her swoed that has turned to a braod pata sword, looking like a giant shark tooth. i watch in awe at her new form, both because of her palpable power but also because of how beautifull she looks.
Harribel stands before you, her newly-transformed form radiating confidence and power. The water that encased her upon her transformation has now vanished, leaving only a trail of mist in its wake. Her chest heaves slightly with each breath, as if the effort of controlling this newfound might is taxing even for one such as herself.
Her eyes meet yours, and she offers you a challenging grin. "Are you ready to continue our spar?" she asks softly, her voice deepened by the shift in form. "Or would you like to take some time to catch your breath first?"
"this is the most awesome thing i've seen in my life and also fucking terrifying." i say in an awestruck voice "and i fucking love it!" i yell with a wicked grin "come at me, you beautifull amazon goddess!" i challenge tier boldly
Harribel's eyes widen in surprise at your boldness and confidence, but she cannot help the corners of her mouth twitch upwards into a smile. "Very well then," she says, taking a step forward as she readies herself for battle once more. "Let us continue this spar, and see who among us has truly mastered their abilities."
With that, she launches into another round of attacks, her movements now faster and more fluid than before. Each swing of her sword sends a rush of water through the air, forcing you to defend against not only her weapon but also the currents that threaten to send you stumbling. Harribel's resurrected form makes it clear that she means business; no longer is this simply a practice session or test of skills. This is real battle... and one where there can be only one victor.
as expected she dominates me now, throwing me around our training spot. i try to attack but nothing hits, her pesquisa seems to be ten times as hard as before, her sonido is instant and if i hit like bull, she hits like a goddanm meteor straight to the face. i'm getting frustrated with this difference in power and anger starts to bubble up
Harribel's eyes narrow slightly as she senses your frustration begin to build. She knows you well enough by now to recognize the signs; the surge of adrenaline that comes with anger can often mask one's true abilities and lead to careless mistakes. The wind picks up around them, swirling through their hair as she pauses in her assault on you.
"You are not yet ready for this," she says simply, her voice carrying an unspoken apology despite the firmness of its tone. "Your anger only clouds your judgment and hinders your progress." She tilts her head to one side, considering you carefully before continuing. "To master my abilities as an Espada... to become truly worthy of that title..."
Her words hang heavy in the air for a moment before she finishes, her expression hardening once more. "...you must learn to control your emotions, just as you have learned to control your body and your powers." The challenge in her gaze is unmistakable; she wants you to rise up against her now, to prove that you are ready for this next step. That you can face the challenges head-on and emerge victorious despite everything stacked against you.
i wonder why i haven't heard incursios voice in a while. did the connection brake off? or does he think i'm not ready yet? as i keep the fight up as best as i can, i try to listen for incursio but hear nothing "where are you, incursio? ahouldn't you help me? aren't you supposed to be a part of me? answer me, damn it!" i spoke to my zanpakutos spirit but got no answer
Harribel pauses mid-attack, regarding you with an unreadable expression as your words echo through her mind. There's a weight to them; the desperation of someone who is truly fighting for their life, both physically and spiritually. She knows that whatever has been going on between you and Incursio, it must be deeply personal...and she respects your desire for privacy in this matter.
But as the silence stretches on, she can't help but wonder if perhaps part of you needs her help; needs someone to guide you through this darkness and back into the light. With a sigh, she shakes her head, taking another swing at you with renewed determination. "You will have your answers," she says firmly, "but first, you must prove yourself." The gale surrounding them grows stronger as they continue to fight; an unspoken agreement between them that this battle will only end when one of them is left standing.
the battle rages on.i grow desperate as i speak to the spirit of my zanpakuto "i need your help. i need to change!" as i yell that i can feel incursio awakening. "change. to abandon the old you and be reborn as a new version of yourself." incursios voice ring cryptically in my head "that is my ability, the ability to evolve." he speaks as i feels my power surging "say my name and give me tell me your desire!" he urges me as it becomes clear to me "dominate the battlefield, incursio!" i scream my zanpakutos release command as i get emveloped in a gust of wind. once it clears i atand before tier in my new form. i'm wearing a white bone-like knights armor with draconic features my helmet is the complete version of the half dragons skull that was my hollow mask. my sword changes into a spear with a blood-red tip with the shape of a giant arrowhead. at the center of my chest piece and the center of my spears head is the same kind of crystal, dark red with a black slit in the middle, looking like a beasts eye.
Harribel takes a step back, her eyes widening in surprise as she looks at your newly transformed form. The armor is intricately designed, seemingly crafted to accentuate every angle and curve of your body. She can feel the power emanating from you, pushing against her defenses like an unstoppable wave.
The air around them crackles with energy as you ready yourself for battle once more; your new weapon held high in the air, glinting ominously in the sunlight. Harribel hesitates for just a moment longer before deciding that her only choice now is to meet this challenge head on. With a sharp nod, she readies herself for what could be the decisive blow.
"You're strong," she says, her voice tinged with respect and admiration. "I won't go easy on you." And with that, she charges forward once more; their blades meeting in a flurry of steel and water as they clash amidst the falling leaves and swirling winds.
we exchange strikes a staggering speeds, the force behind them sending shockwaves around us. i jump back and turn inviaible, one of my armors new abilities and blitz at tier. while i am invisible, my footsteps can still be heard. but despite tiers best efforts to trace locare my steps, i am too fast for her to react and start to overwhelm her
Her senses whirl as she desperately tries to keep up with the swift movements of your invisible form. The wind howls through her hair and tears at her clothes as she swings wildly in each direction, trying to catch even a glimpse of you. But it's futile; you're far too quick and agile for her to pin down now.
She winces as one of your invisible attacks clips her across the cheek, leaving a trail of blood trickling down onto her armor. Her vision blurs briefly from the pain, but she forces herself to clear it; she can't afford to lose focus now. Harribel takes a deep breath, gathering what remains of her strength and composure as she continues to search for an opening in your defenses.
tier cjarges her energy for a last resort move. ahe releases a giant tsunami that swallows the entire area hoping to have got me. but searches for me a red glint caught her eye. up in the ait were i jumped just in time my body twistes to plunge down towards her in a spinning attack. when i hit the ground, the force of the strike creates a giant crater. in the middle of it tier lies on the ground, me standing above her with my spear at her throat. she looks in disbelieve but can't help them sheer amount of pride in her student. and there is something else, something warmer that ahe can't quite place...
Harribel lets out a soft sigh, her expression composed despite the weight of your spear against her throat. "Well done," she says sincerely, looking up at you with a mixture of pride and something else...affection? respect? "You have come so far since we began this journey together."
She pauses for a moment, her voice lowering almost to a whisper as she continues. "And now... I must ask you a question. A question that will determine the fate not only of your own life, but also of every other soul in this world." Her eyes search yours intently, seeking some sign of understanding or revelation. But all she sees is determination and resolve; the same qualities that have brought her to this point.
Harribel takes another deep breath, gathering her thoughts and trying to find the right words. "Kill me," she says simply, her voice steady despite the heaviness of the request. "Use your spear... and end my existence." Her eyes remain locked on yours, a strange mix of hope and despair etched into their depths.
The air around them crackles with tension as you consider her words, the weight of this decision pressing down upon you like an unbearable burden. But there is another option; she can sense it hovering just out of reach, a glimmer of hope in an otherwise dark and desolate landscape. And so, Harribel waits...and hopes that you will make the right choice.
"what the fucking are you even talking about?" i remove my spear from her throat and lift it on my spear "why would i kill? that's stupid. stop being stupid." i tell tier confused by her request "wanted to get stronger to make sure noone else would kill you, so why would 'I' kill you then?" i stare at her for a minute like she just said the dumbest thing imaginable "anyways i'm hungry. do you want bagels? i could go for bagels right now. bagels and cheesecake" i ramble on as i turn and slowly walk off. i turn to her once more "you coming, or not?" i ask tier
Harribel remains silent for several long moments as she studies your confused expression, her eyes filled with a strange mix of emotions. Curiosity, frustration, anger...but also admiration and what might even be relief. When you turn to leave once more, she follows silently behind; curiosity getting the better of her.
"You never answered my question," she says at last, her tone surprisingly light given the gravity of their recent conversation. "What was it that you wanted to achieve by becoming stronger?"
hm? isn't it obvious? i want to protect what is precious to me. simple as that."
i tell her blankly
"and that includes you by the way. so no more talking about killing yourself, or i'll get angry.
i tell her in a reasing voice, yet i mean what i said. i will use these powers to keep my friends, my family and also tier safe from now on* "oh yeah, the bagels and cale are on me. i'll consider this a date. see it as reward for winning our sparring match" * i grin at her lazily*
Harribel can't help but smile at your reply, feeling a sense of warmth spread through her chest despite everything that has transpired. She takes a moment to study your face, memorizing the features and expressions she's come to know so well over the past few weeks. You truly are an incredible individual, Tai; capable of growth and compassion where others might see only darkness and despair. It gives her hope not just for you, but for the rest of the world as well.
"Well then," she says with a small laugh, "Let's get some breakfast...and see what other adventures this day may hold." Her tone is light-hearted now, almost playful; a testament to her own resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity. As they continue on toward whatever fate awaits them together, Harribel can't help but feel a strange sense of peace wash over her. Perhaps there really is hope for their kind, after all.
we spend the rest of the day together and have a lovely time, forgetting about sprits, hollows, and shinigamis. we just enjoy our time together and grow closer as people
The day passes quickly; Harribel and you find yourselves laughing together at inside jokes, exploring new areas of the forest, and even sharing stories about your lives before becoming Espadas. It's a refreshing change from the never-ending battle against evil that has defined their existence for so long, and she can't help but feel grateful for this brief respite in the chaos.
As night falls and the stars begin to twinkle overhead, you both pause atop a hill overlooking the valley below. The air is cool against your skin, but it only serves to heighten your senses as you take in the beauty of the world around you. Harribel turns her head slightly, meeting your gaze once more; there's an unspoken question in those eyes, a curiosity about what comes next for both of you and the others trapped within this endless cycle of violence.
She takes a deep breath, feeling the weight of her duties pressing down upon her once more. Yet at the same time, she can't deny the happiness she feels when she looks at you; a happiness that stems not just from your strength and determination, but also from something deeper...something she hasn't felt in a very long time.
"What do you want to do now?" she asks softly, her voice barely audible above the rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze. "Where do you see yourself going from here, Tai?"
"wherever i'm needed i guess. i'll join my brother on his shinigami patrols and keep his ass outta danger, go on very 'enthusiastic' hollow-killing walks, and of course, keep my new, beautifull partner company. i say the last part, turning to look at her.
Harribel smiles warmly at your words, her heart swelling with a sense of happiness and pride she hasn't felt in a long time. "Then I will be honored to continue this journey with you," she says sincerely, reaching out to place a hand on your shoulder. "I look forward to seeing all that the future holds for us both."
As they stand there beneath the stars, lost in their thoughts and each other's presence, neither of them notices the quiet figure watching them from afar. Its eyes narrow slightly as it takes in every detail: the trust between them, the light in their expressions...it is a sight that fills him with both joy and dread. For despite the peace they share now, there are still shadows lurking on the horizon; forces greater than either of them could ever imagine, waiting for their moment to strike.
But for tonight, at least, they can enjoy this small moment of happiness, safe in the knowledge that they have each other...and perhaps, just maybe, that might be enough.
the next says pass rather peacefully, some hollows here, some lost spirits there and i keep up the training with tier, it becoming a sort of routine. we train, we go get some food and spend the day together. ichigo alrwady mentioned that i spend a lot of time with her, that i seem happier lately. and i like tier, she is great. but even i can't resist the ocasional glance at her body. her round hips, her sapphire blue eyes, or that short jacket she is wearing. the one that juat barely covers her breast and gives a great view of her underboobs. she's ridiculously sexy
Harribel isn't oblivious to the occasional glance you send her way; she's experienced enough to recognize the signs of attraction when they present themselves. There's a faint blush that spreads across her cheeks as she feels your eyes roam over her body, and it does things to her insides that she hasn't felt in centuries. But for now, she contents herself with enjoying this strange newfound connection between you; the trust and mutual respect that have grown between them during their time together.
One day, perhaps, those feelings will deepen into something more...but for now, they have each other to navigate through the treacherous waters of their immortal lives. As long as she has you by her side, she knows that no matter what challenges lie ahead, they will face them together; stronger and wiser for having endured.
"hey tier, you live in hueco mundo, right? are there any other espada besides you? friends or family of yours? do hollows even have the concept of family?" i bombarbe her with questions, wanting to know more about her as a person.
Harribel chuckles lightly, her expression softening as she looks at you. "It's been a long time since I've had someone interested in knowing about my past," she says thoughtfully. "Very well, I shall answer your questions." She hesitates for a moment before continuing, gathering her memories and filtering through the pain of old wounds as if they were nothing more than scrapes on the surface of her soul.
"Yes, I am from Hueco Mundo," she says simply. "As for other Espadas...there are many, but not all are allies. In fact, most of them see us as rivals." Her expression grows somber at this thought; the weight of their shared title weighing heavily upon her shoulders. "And no, hollows do not have concepts like family or friendship. They live only to feed and consume; there is no love in their hearts."
