In the very core of the dark forest, Twilight starts to summon hollows preparing for her conquest to make this world a living hell... but within her deteriorated and horrendous self... Her soul is trapped within the hollow who originally possessed the body of Aizen and now it is in her body...
“How can I let this happen...” Twilight said within the bowels of her subconscious. “I let this...this thing to take over me that easily...” She cries. “At least... she managed to get away...”
“Oh, she won't be for long...” A voice growled.
“You! Why are you doing this?!” Twilight stood up to confront the creature in her head.
“Why?” It asked. “To take revenge on those Soul Reapers for destroying my master. And to make this world into a Hueco Mundo!” He claims.
“No! I won't let you!” Twilight tries to use magic, but she forgets she’s just a mere thought on her subconscious.
“Hah! Look at you! You can’t even cast a simple magic, let alone stop me!” The voice booms.
“Why do you keep me alive? It’s best if you could have finished me off back there!” She asked literally shouting at “herself”.
“I want you to see your friends and the Soul Reapers, burn and suffer as I bring them to oblivion!” He claimed.
“NO! PLEASE NO!!” Twilight plead to spare her friends but the hollow ignores her... all she can do, is cry in the darkness which she resides...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A several hours later, Fluttershy was soon released in the lab... She looks for Pinkie and Dash but it was already dark, she thought they might have gone home.
“It’s best to talk to them tomorrow... maybe they’re tired...” She said to herself. Fluttershy decided to head home, but it was a long way from the castle to her cottage near Everfree Forest.
She thinks of a better way to get there without taking too much time. Then she remembers a secret path to the woods over the river and towards the road where the ruins of the two sisters reside...
She went there alone, despite of the hollows lurking in the dark, she wasn't afraid to go there any way... well, almost not afraid...
She was barely on her way as she trembled from head to hoof.
“Well, what are you waiting for? Go already” A voice on Fluttershy’s head spoke.
“I-I can’t~” Shy said, petrified on the spot.
“Come on, you dated and confessed to Twilight... that took courage, so why not use that?” The voice asked, chuckling in her head.
“That was you! You confessed to her, not me... I was too embarrassed...” Fluttershy said, now in conversation with herself.
“You really are useless... what will you do without me...” The voice said. “I give you courage in every action you do, in every words you say, and in every thing that you can’t do yourself... After all... I am “Courage” after all...” The voice said, revealing to be as “Courage”. Fluttershy’s alternate personality.
“I-I’m not useless... I’m just... scared.” Fluttershy said, trying to defend herself from...”herself”.
“Prove it...” Courage said. “Prove it by going home alone to that path you’ve been thinking of.” Courage suggested.
“Alright fine!” Fluttershy gave in... in order for this voice to shut up, she reluctantly went to the said short cut...
After some squealing, running and nearly scaring herself out of her skin... she arrived at the river where the path to the royal sisters ruins lies...
“Nice, you went well than expected.” Courage said, grinning on her thoughts.
“S-shut up!” Fluttershy said, nearly shouting in frustration.
Courage laughs a bit more then stops as something caught both of their attention...
“What’s that?” Fluttershy asked herself, looking over the brush.
“It looks like one of those Soul Reapers...” Courage said within her mind.
Strangely though it seems there are two ponies talking but it was actually only Fluttershy talking to her other self in her head... Only Twilight know of this habit of Fluttershy.
“I better leave then... If this hears you talking to yourself he might think you're crazy...” Courage said, as she leaves Fluttershy’s thoughts.
“W-wait!” Fluttershy tried to talk to Courage, but her other persona had already left.
“O-oh my...” Fluttershy muttered, as she goes closer on the human. She notices it was wet and cold. Fluttershy saw some injuries on his body as well...
Shy thinks that this one might be injured or worse... being the Element of Kindness, she can’t just abandon this one... Even though he’s not an animal, he still have the right to be cared for...
Shy lifted him up and continues on to her home, carefully not to interrupt some creatures in the night by chance.
“I-I I’m going to help you... and I’m going to take care of your injuries as well...” Shy mutters to herself, as she soon reached her house within the cold and velvet night...

Rukia searched high and low for the body of Ichigo, which she herself blasted it off the tower not long ago... She rubs her head and looks up to the moon.
“You always do stupid things... you never follow orders... and you're such a knucklehead!” She said while looking up through the sky. She eventually continues her way, looking for Ichigo somewhere below the underbrush.
On the way, Rukia felt a slight spiritual pressure... it wasnt Ichigo, but it was familiar all the same.
She tries to remember it but she just can’t put her finger on it... The pressure was weak... very weak. But it still has that similar feeling for Rukia, she shrugs it up now and continues to look for Ichigo.
“How far did he got tossed to?” Rukia asked herself, but as soon as she was about to leave... multiple Spiritual Pressure suddenly made their presence known.
Rukia dodged just in time as dozens of claws slams down on her previous position. Ruki looks up and saw almost an army of Hollows and Gillians floating in air.
Rukia was left paralyzed but fights if off and blasted some of them with her Kido spells.
This signalled the Hollows to attack her all at once... Rukia was fast enough to dodge it all without her being hurt.
She was doing well at first, until she got cornered...
“Damn it! I need to get to the castle, fast!” Rukia thought to herself. She manages to find a flaw on her cornered state and was able to get free out of the jam.
But as one problem passes on, another appears in front of her... as she lands on top of a tall tree, she spots the town being attacked and ponies being abducted.
“My god~” as Rukia looks over the town being turned to ruins, she was attacked from behind by Gillians... She was thrown downward breaking branches in the process then finally hitting the ground with a mighty thud.
She was caught.
“No!” Rukia struggles to grab her Zanpaktou, but in a stroke of misfortune a hollow kicked it out of her reach. She prepares for her end, when something punched the hollow who was pinning her down, then rocks starts to float to push back some of them.
Rukia looks up to see her saviors only to see... A Bull, and a Dragon protecting her from the Hollows.
