//------------------------------// // Opening Anew // Story: Hollow Girl // by golden dawn //------------------------------// My name is Crystal soul and I’m going to comic con with my friend I am the bleach online character. I am an arrancar female wearing a white and red dress with boots. My hollow hole is in the center of my chest just above my stomach. I have a long dagger attached to my back, my hair is blue and my hollow mask is on the right side of my head. "We are finally here! What do you want to do first." I asked Robin. Robin is my very good friend, I convinced her to come with me and she dressed up as Anime Ed from Full Metal Alchemist. Anime Ed is Robin's favorite Anime but in the female version with long blond hair and honey gold eyes. "I don’t know, I only came to look after you so you don’t manage to get into trouble again." Robin yelled. "That was one time and the only reason I got into trouble was because you told me that it was ok to get it!" I yelled. “Crystal I said it was ok to get it if you wanted a fake, you always listen to only half of what comes out of my mouth. Next time you need listen better okay?" Robin said in a more soft tone. I looked away, it was like this all the time between me and Robin. Robin is my best friend in the whole world. She looks out for me better than my own family does, I even call her sis and she calls me brat just for fun. “I get it, so what do you want to do," I said as we walked by a stand with fake amulet. "Well let’s split up since you are looking for a kid Nel Tu plushy and for a zapatou from bleach, what was it called again? Tensa Zangetsu the 2 sword vrisan of Ichigo's and I want to find my blade for my metal arm and the first one to find it called the other ok.” Robin said. “Okie dokie Captain I’m on it.” I said while saluting like a soldier. Robin just rolled her eye at me and walked off. I headed to the far side of the convention. There I saw this guy that gave me creepy jitters to the max , he was dressed as the merchant from resident evil 4. I was ready to walk away when I saw he had a life size plushie of Nel Tu and Tensa Zangetsu. In the back I saw the blade of Robin’s character, immediately I called Robin as fast as I could. “Captain I have found the goods, I’m at the far end of the convention with some guy in a resident evil merchant costume, he has it I’ll get my things and wait for you here.” I said. “Good work Crystal .said Robin, I’ll be there soon.” While I waited I saw a lot of good replicas from all kinds of cartoons, Anime, and manga item’s. There also were keyblades, pokeballs and a deck board. While I was looking through the stuff creepy guy comes close “I see we have an arrancar here but what would one want to find here?” Oh Yeah that creepy feeling just got stronger, I just want to buy my stuff and get going as fast as I can. "I would like to buy the Tensa Zangetsu with the life size Plushie of Nel Tu.” I said. “Finally someone to take this girl away, now that will be $30 for the doll and $125 for the blade’s.” the merchant said. “WHAT! That’s all? I would easily paid $300 for the blade’s alone and the plushy at least $100 just for a small one!” I yelled this guy must know that I thought. “OH I know. said the merchant, but I need to get more stuff and they have been taking up space.” said the merchant. I had the biggest grin on my face as I paid the man and put my new sword’s on my back and the smaller on my hip, just as I was about to leave I saw the merchant bring out a small glowing ball and he held it out toward my direction. That creepy feeling I had now turned into horrific fear, I didn’t know what was going to happen. Out of fear of what he would do I used my dagger-sword and run at him. The look in his eyes said he did not see this coming, he shot at me with that glowing thing but not before I gave him a good cut on his hand, I saw the pain in his eyes. That’s what you get you two faced snake! I smiled as I felt my conscious fading, the last thing I heard was Robin’s voice say my name before I blacked out. When I started coming to I was in extreme pain, it felt like I was hit by a car and put in a crushed in a crusher. “OHHH!!” Whatever hit me caused me so much pain and I felt something on me. I looked and saw Nul on me --- bracin was now loading. Why is Nel here I asked myself. “How are you.” she asks with the cutest look in her eye. I couldn’t help but scoop her up and hug her. “Oh you are just too cute, how about you be my sister from now on.” I said, as I hugged the breath out of her. I’m so honored that an arrancar wants me as a sister said Nel but can you please let Nel go? I need to breathe. I lessened my grip to letting her go, so she could breathe in same air. I didn’t realize I was hugging so tight. I made sure that Nel was okay before I placed her on my shoulder. I told her that my name was crystal and I was her big sister. As I got a good look around, I noticed we were in a forest of some sort. When I went to look for my call phone I noticed the hole on my chest was not pretend anymore but real. If the Hollow hole is real and Nel is alive then, I took out my sword Tensa Zangetsu that was on my back I looked at it and could feel power in the blade. My thoughts were interrupted by loud screaming in distress. I began to run towards the screams and as I ran through a bush I saw a girl/pony thing. She looked like a human but had a tail and fur all over her body. She had a mazzulla, not a big one and had hooves for feet. She also had hands but what caught my attention was the big mantacorn running after her. “So are we going to help her big sis!” Nel asked? The pony-girl ran up a tree out of reach from the monster. I had a big smile on my face. “Look at that, you know your sister for 10 minutes and you already know her so well” I told Nel. I yelled with fury and excitement as I raised my sword from my back and dashed forward. (Third person view) I’m going to die and not get to tell that stallian how much I love him. Why did I come here all alone when I knew that the everfree is the most dangerous place of all equine? I heard a loud snap, looked down and saw the manticore was breaking the tree trunk to get to me.“Please somepony anypony help me.” said the mare. All of a sudden her wish was granted, something hit the manticore, and this thing stood on two legs like a pony but had no tail or hoofs. This thing had no fur or ears on its head and what happened next shocked me the most, it spoke to me In a soft voice it said “hey you okay?” I was in so much shock, all I could do was nod my head yes. Its voice was that of a female voice that appeared to be good enough for good for her. Then I heard the manticore roar and get up and charge at this thing. I was so scared out of my mind but she was fine, In fact she looked excited and eager. (Crystal view) Good the girl so now it’s time for some fun. “Nel look after the girl for now, I need to deal with the big bad pussycat.” I said wall looking at the manticore. Nel got off my back and went over to the ponygirl. As if a power button was pushed, I run at the manticore,grabbed its tail and threw it against a tree. The manticore growled in pain but got up and tried to clawed me on the arm but it did nothing to me. This was getting intersa I have hierro so my skin is now as strong as armor plates. Now I’m going to see how my powers are, I use my bala shot at the manticore, hit it and sent him flying into four tree’s and the trees all shattered like confetti. I saw the look in its eyes, it still had pride in them so I slipped Tensa Zangetsu into it two blades form one in each hand. “You have pride and no humility I will put some humility into you so you learn this lesson well for next time you will die.” I said as charged at the manticore again and cut him on the left front paw. I didn’t cut it off but I drew blood, he roared in pain and backed up. I charged again but moved faster cutting the lower half of his eye now there was blood running into his eye, this appeared to blind him. The manticore was still not backing down but looking for some way to win. I was getting angry at how prideful these beast was that it would fight to the end. "I don’t like that kind of belief, the belief that where you're willing to risk getting defeated again and get yourself killed not thinking of the one’s you will leave behind." I said as I looked at him. During the fight the manticore got a shot in and hit me with his scorpion tail but the tip of it’s tail broke and fell to the ground. The manticore now no longer showed pride but fear. I walked towards it and watched the fear in his face. I got up close to his face and grabbed him by his mane. “Now you listen to me” I said "you think your pride is so important but it’s not, think of your family, can they live without you?" “Now go but know that next time I will not hold back.” I let my reiatsu pressure increase making him slump a little. I then let go and watched as he run off into the forest. I looked back to the pony-girl and Nel and saw they had both passed out from my reiatsu pressure. “Oh my goodness, I’m such an idiot, what am I going to do now? Let me get them somewhere safe, I picked them up and saw the pony girl had a horn on her head, with gray fur. On her hip were three purple stars on she,her fur and clothes had been torn and her face and body had wounds all over. As I looked at the pony girl she looked familiar to me. I felt as if I had seen her before but not this young, oh well it will come to me later. With that I put both of them under my arms and began to look for a way out of this forest.
