Hueco Mundo, a world with the curse of forever remaining a sea of sand with no more life than the Hollow, beings that will only survive as far as their strength and ability to kill their own self will take them. Most of those who managed to escape from the eternity of that cold desert would move on always remembering that stage of their existence as a desperate race for individuality in which there were no rules and the only way to achieve your goal was to stomp on every other being of your same specie. Those who did not accept this as a lifestyle and dedicated to it with unwavering determination were marked as dead instantly.
Such were the thoughts that habituated Garve's mind at that moment, as he walked with steady steps and an uncaring gaze through the sands of Hueco Mundo. Among the ones who had horrible memories from their times as a Hollow, he was somewhere in the middle. Nowadays he held no fond feelings towards his old cannibalistic self, but the memory of how he enjoyed every minute of it when he was a regular Menos was still very fresh in his mind, haunting him so that he wouldn't ever forget who he really was. Garve had learned that feeling enmity towards other people or things would usually never lead anywhere, but he didn't know how else to feel towards that old self or anything that resembled it. The dilemma was that, hadn't been for it, he wouldn't find himself in the position he was now (or in any position at all, for that matter).
With a soundly sigh with him as his only audience and while lazily scratching the back of his head with a vague movement of the arm, he casted away those thoughts. He was not in the mood for things as deep as guilt or resentment with the past, and either way it wasn't like he could change either that or the course of nature so there really wasn't any point to it either. He had a much more important business to attend to at that moment and it was going to the human world. He had many unfinished tasks there and the sooner he could take care of them, the sooner he would stop worrying over it; besides, given how all the signs were pointing to an intensification of the conflict on all the realms, there was a chance he would soon be unable to visit the human world anymore. First of all, there was a certain human he had to visit, both to give back the old, almost destroyed gigai he borrowed and still had in his possession and, most importantly, receive a very important item from him. That was definitely crucial, there was no way he would be ale to rest assured until he had that certain item back. There were other things he was very curious about regarding the human world, like the situation of the rebels responsible for the deaths of the top Espada, which were said to be inhabiting somewhere in that world, but that was not a good moment to be investigating the matter and either he was sure it would come want it or not eventually, so there was no need to rush things at the moment. With that said, it was clear to him that his mission was simple: visit Genta's place, give back the gigai, and receive that damned item from him.
Turning around the upper half of his body, Garve looked back behind him. The fortress of Las Noches was still able to cast its imposing figure, overlapping the eternal night of that universe with its mockingly contradictory whiteness. He was still too close. Going to the human world was no complicated task; he had absolutely no difficulty with performing Garganta as many times as it was necessary, same as any other decent Arrancar out there. Deciding what was the most appropriate place to show up in the human world was no challenge either; he had been living there enough time to know where were the best places to appear without having an army of Shinigami wind up out of the blue during the many years he had been living there. The issue here was his own reiatsu. He knew how to hide it to some extent, but he wasn't sure if he was able to conceal it to the extent that not a single high-ranking Arrancar out there could still catch a glimpse of it, as he hadn't spent enough time learning others abilities (then again, neither did he expect to have everyone spill out their special abilities after being asked). Even if he was sure, or if he went with the risk of it, it would be very suspicious of him to suddenly have his reiatsu disappear and he couldn't afford having all of his fellow Arrancar thinking he had something to hide (which he did). This was not the time to be showing signs of being unreliable and to tell the truth, he was nowhere close to trusting any of his companions to a great extent, so, for the moment, he was supposed to be on a mission in search for rogue Vasto Lordes around Hueco Mundo. He still hadn't figured as far as what to say once he came back with no results, other than simply claiming there not any at the moment and hope he wouldn't be proven false instantly, but he couldn't get himself to worry about details like that at the moment. He did have a lot of time to spare and wasn't intending to spend all of it in the human world anyways.
"Maybe I should just spend a day or two searching and then go to the human world, just in case." Garve murmured to himself, having some second thoughts on his plan of going to the human world ASAP. He had to be quick, but that didn't mean he had to rush things too fast.

Taza looked out unto the cold silent desert he had called home for over six millennia. In that time nothing had really changed, the arrancar came up, but other then that it had always been a big hollow eating a littler hollow, until they became humanoid hollows as vostro lorde and started to eat the bigger hollows. How ironic; eat those smaller until your so powerful you’re a ant by comparison and you eat the giants that feast on litter hollows.
Death, he had seen far to much of it, loss, it was all that this place had to offer, hope, don’t make me laugh.. But it was his life, and he was trying to bring some warmth and piece to it. And today he had the uncanny opportunity to go out and try to bring new warriors into the fold. Grave was scheduled to go out after some rouge Vostro Lorde that had been causing a bit of a stir. Vostro Lorde where rare, and powerful, and they could be used to help in his plot.. And so within a instant the Dos espada had vanished, before silently reappearing directly behind Grave instantly. Well if you want to get technical it took roughly 3.4 milliseconds to do the jump…
And he had arrived right after Grave had finished talking to himself, luckily for Grave. “Grave. You are going out after the rouge Vostro Lorde right? Mind if I tag along? It could prove fruitful to bring new arrancar into our service, especially ones as powerful as vostro lordes are.” His words flowed smoothly, without a hint of displacement in them. Taza liked Grave more then most of the other Espada. While he really didn’t know him well Grave wasn’t a egotistic bastard like most espada. And because of that he happened to enjoy his company quite a bit, at least when compared to Sojukin.. That guy could really piss Taza off..

Garve had just finished his sentence when suddenly, without warning or signal at all, a presence possessing a strong reiatsu (although passive at that moment) appeared behind him. Upon having turned around he was able to confirm that it was Taza.
"Grave. You are going out after the rouge Vostro Lorde right? Mind if I tag along? It could prove fruitful to bring new arrancar into our service, especially ones as powerful as vostro lordes are."
"Hmmm" Garve's response was an odd and vague affirmative humming while raising his shoulders. He didn't show it, but he couldn't deny he was surprised by Taza’s sudden emergence. His Pesquisa was extremely accurate, he couldn't claim that it was the greatest in Hueco Mundo, but he had all the right to take pride on it. Nonetheless, that meant very little when other people could teleport and he couldn't sense them coming. Precisely because of that, his trip to the human world was going to have to wait, so he had already grown to dislike that technique. "It's not like I need help, but some company wouldn't hurt. It might take a while and I don’t think I’ll have anyone to talk to". He finally responded to Taza with his always indifferent manner of speech while he scratched the back of his head as if showing his thought process.
While it was true he didn't like the fact that his 'real' trip would have to be delayed if Taza came with him, denying help from him would probably be more suspicious. He considered for a brief moment playing the 'high and mighty' card and claim he didn't need help and had no interest in receiving company, but he didn't have to think much to know the situation was not as desperate as needing such measures, and he disliked doing such things when unnecessary. He didn't know how far Taza was going to tag along and even if he was planning to aid in the whole hunting, he could always aim for using the time at which they separate to make a quick trip to the human world consisting of just a few hours, which was all he needed as long as he was fast enough. How he would deal with that could come later. Besides, he was convincing himself that maybe he could take some advantage of the new situation. He hadn't had much contact with his fellow Espada so far, but his perception of them in general wasn’t all that positive (it was mostly all thanks to a certain cannibalistic Arrancar). Taza was probably the one he had conversed with the most so far and said conversations had been short and few in number, which just went to show how detached from them he was. Nonetheless, none of those conversations had suggested that Taza had the same mentality most Espada did and probably a conversation with him could lead to a new companionship. He didn’t plan to be detached from his own comrades for the entire war coming up, as that would be unrealistic for his own survival. Hence, as suspicious as it was that Taza wanted to tag along with him out of the blue, learning of his intentions was something Garve had to investigate sooner or later anyways, and it was important to determine whether the Arrancar standing next to him at that moment was a friend or a foe.
“The place where the Vasto Lorde was last seen is far, so it might take a few days”, he added while pointing with a move of his head to the direction of the area he had been told to investigate. “I assume you already know how this works, so I shouldn’t be explaining anything, should I?” he added while vaguely moving his hand in circles as if trying to convey the tediousness of the task. Although both of them had shown up only after the annihilation of the previous top two Espada, Taza had taken position slightly earlier than him, so he probably had already done this before.

Taza nodded as Grave talked. It was true that Grave defiantly could handle this himself, but lets face it.. Taza was not about to spend a week babysitting Sojukin and trying to keep at least half the arrancar alive. He did that last week… He needed a break before things between them escalated into a full scale battle. Cause last time that didn’t end to pretty..
“Yeah, I have had to do this a couple of time..” He said before looking out into the cold dark sands. “Well lets get going..” He said as he took off using a soindo. He wasn’t going as fast as he could, not knowing where between Sojuking and himself that Grave could maneuver at. Taza could go as fast as anyone except the Horror Vacui that is.. And it was his speed that had gotten him as far has he had gotten.
After a little while Taza looked over to Grave and said. “Hey, when we meet up with these Vostro Lorde, mind if we try talking them into joining with us instead of smashing there skulls in a soon as we see them?” Taza wasn’t quite sure on Grave’s mind set about hollows and how he wanted to handle this. But he hoped he wasn’t the kill on sight type..

Since he was the one who knew the area they were directed to and in charge of reading the reiatsu signals, Garve was the one leading the way as they made their way with Sonido. When Taza asked his question, he slightly span his head to the side and directed a glance at his partner, acknowledging he was listening to what he had to say. Once the question was over, he looked forward again. gThe mission consists on trying to recruit them, so we will give them a chance to join diplomatically. As far as their safety goes, it will depend on how they respond, and if it is with violence I canft guarantee anythingh. Garve replied in a very machine-like manner to Tazafs question.
He probably wouldnft get himself to kill the Vasto Lorde even if he was attacked; in fact, if there werenft others with that kind of mentality he himself would have been killed a long time ago by now. However, he was still part of the Espada and he couldnft spare to show any signs of weakness, at least for the moment. Just because his arrival had been overshadowed by the sudden coming of the Horror Vacui, who were also conveniently organizing everything around Hueco Mundo, it didnft mean that he could simply take his position lightly due to the competition factor. He didnft know whether he would kill a Vasto Lorde for real or not once he had one in front of him, but he wasnft worried about that at all at that moment. When it came to this kind of things, he preferred to make decisions on the moment they were necessary; he could save the planning time for other things.
He didnft end the conversation there though, and once again looked over his shoulder at Taza gWhatfs the point in asking, though? I will do things the way I usually do and I expect you to do what you want too. Or would you, as you put it, esmash their skullsf if I said so?h. He looked like he was asking the question out of boredom, but he was actually paying more attention to the conversation than he appeared.

Taza smiled at Grave’s almost automated response. It seemed like he was on the same track path as Taza was right now. Even if they had caused trouble for some lesser arrancar, they have proven stronger then them and thus more valuable. At least that was the logic he would have used if Grave had been the smash there skulls in type.. Graves question was admittedly a bit of a shock to Taza, while yes they hadn’t really talked much the whispers behind Taza’s back about how he is to soft and the like he would have thought Grave would already know.
Taza looked at him and said. “Im not the smash there skulls in type.. In fact, I very much dislike the whole killing and eating cycle that us Hollows are forced to live with. Our animalistic ways tell us to grow strong, and the only way we can is by eating. Shingami have it so easy, yet they cast this vile look onto us. Stuck up bastards.”

“Stuck up, uh?” Garve repeated part of Taza’s last words, more to himself than asking confirmation. Just a few exchange of sentences and he had already convinced himself that Taza was different from him.
None of them was an aggressive Hollow, and both were far beyond their cannibalistic natures by now, at least that far he thought he could agree, but it seemed they had both been lead to two different conclusions. Even though he had killed many Shinigami and the count was bound to go up, truth was he didn’t hold any kind of grudge against them. In fact, this act of indifference towards them was probably one of the most symbolic aspects about him that represented his fight against his own nature. Taza seemed to have this grudge against Shinigami also present in many Hollow; however, he couldn’t completely determine whether it was a natural competitive hate, something linked to his past that lead to a personal issue or the always viable secret third option. He hadn’t had time to talk to Xifan all that much yet about the other Espada, but he probably could fill him in on Taza’s background history once they were back. Either way Garve opted to slightly change the topic for the moment.
“Well, that’s not really what I would call a direct answer to my question, but I think I understand” Garve murmured, his tone now less mechanical. “But it almost sounds like you hate being an Arrancar. Could it be you’d rather be something else like, say, a Shinigami?” Garve purposely made a pause before saying the word Shinigami. The very amusing thought of Taza not actually ´hating´ Shinigami as much as ‘envying’ them had crossed his mind and he thought to sought confirmation through asking directly, although some would perceiveit as simply an attempt to mock him. The ‘questioning game’ had begun.

Taza chuckled a bit at Grave’s question before saying. “Nah, I don’t hate being a arrancar, actually I love it. This half of my life has defiantly been the better half. I wouldn’t mind trading fates with a Shingami, but ultimately I think this is the best place for me.” He said before looking at Grave and saying. “What about you? How do like being an arrancar and do you like Shingami?”
Six thousand years was long enough to learn how to read between the lines. IF he was going to learn anything about Grave it would be by playing his game. Which, seeing as they had a good run ahead of them was actually a pretty damn good idea to pass the time. IN truth Taza actually envied the Shingami more then he’d like to admit. But he didn’t hate them at all, in fact he was hoping to form a alliance with them to defeat Death and the Horro Vacui at some point down the road. It was his goal, his short term one...

Garve had no reason to believe Taza was not being sincere in his answer, and besides, it didn't sound like he was lying at all. He was about to ask why Taza felt being an Arrancar was better for him, but wondered if he would be touching on a personal subject. However, there were many interpretations to that sentence he could draw, and the one of Taza wanting power despite being an Arrancar or a Shinigami seemed to jump at him for some odd reason, although he couldn't confirm it without asking. Given his pacifist nature it seemed unlikely to him, but the doubt remained there nonetheless. Taza asked him a question before he had time to answer and Garve decided to ultimately let it pass for now.
"Being an Arrancar is ok I guess, at the very least is better than being a regular Hollow." Garve responded looking forward and appearing more interested on determining their direction rather than on giving a good response. "As for Shinigami, I don't have any grudges against them, but...let's just say liking them is not the appropriate word for what I think about them."
He was being very vague in his answers on purpose. He could go on for hours on either one of the questions, but he was a man of few words. Though an even more significant reason for his vagueness was the fact that he didn't find Shinigami an interesting subject to talk about, like humans were. He was sure there would be things he would definitely find very appealing about them and that would inspire him to further study them, but given the circumstances, that could be a very troublesome task to perform. If they had done something to call his attention in a while, his thinking could change and he would ignore all obstacles in the middle. However, the closest thing they had done to let his interest run loose was the recent invasion to Hueco Mundo and, to his eyes, the fact that they mobilized to alien territory with such force was not the highlight of the confrontation.
"Never mind Shinigami, though. I doubt they care much about what we think about them anyways, so there's little point going over it."Garve said, making clear he was changing the subject. "I've heard you weren't here before the revolt caused by the Tercera happened. I've been wondering why you joined the Espada after that."

Taza nodded as he listened to Grave. It seemed he didn’t much care for shingami’s himself, and that he wasn’t going to give Taza any straight answers. Grave was being careful, he was baiting Taza while not biting any of the bate Taza threw. Every answer was quick and vague, he knew how to play this game perfectly.. His question however came as a bit of a shock to Taza, he hadn’t expected him to touch on that subject quite yet.
Taza grinned before saying. “Your right, I wasn’t here when it happened. And by the time I got here the damage was already done. I was lady Calixta’s personal guardian while she was growing up. The hollow king tasked me with training her, and watching over her. I was barred from ever becoming an Espada, even if I defeated one they would not recognize me as one and would send the others to kill me. They made that much painfully clear. So I did my job, but once Calixta took the thrown she had the entire Espada and every other arrancar to protect her so she let me go of the job and sent me on one task or another. I was as strong as every Espada, so anytime she didn’t want to bother them she bothered me. I was off on one of those missions when they Horror Vacui showed up as well as the shingami. I was engaged with a couple of vostro lorde when it happened so I couldn’t make a speedy getaway. Came back, people where dead, los noches was half destroyed, and the Horror Vacui had taken over..” His voice changed at the last sentence, it had a hint of anger behind it instead of the easy going almost emotionless tone he had been talking in until then.
He shook his head before continuing. “I approached Death, half expecting he’d kill me, half wishing he would. It turned out he wanted to refill the ranks of the Espada, and he happened to remember me from our run-ins in the past, and offered me any position I wanted. I took Dos, mainly because I didn’t feel I was up to being the Premira Espada, and being in charge of everything the Horror Vacui didn’t assume control of. Also, I’m not your typical espada so I doubt that people would accept my lead without constantly fighting me for it, and that’s just a pain in the ass if you ask me.”
He then looked at Grave before saying. “What about you? Why where you in the human world for so long? And why did you come back all of the sudden?”

That was curious, Garve had been around since a few decades before Calixta was even born and remained for a while after that, but truth was he didnft quite remember Taza back then. His position was truly an oddity among the Arrancar, he was close to the Royal Family about as much as the Primera was known to be (not like he knew from experience, but at least he was a lot more communicative back in the days), but he still wasnft allowed an elite position for one reason or another even though he deserved an Espada position (be it among the top three-level or not only Taza knew, but it was irrelevant). With a position like that, Garve probably shouldfve heard about him, but he hadnft, which just went to show how detached from his own group he was.
Garve managed to pick up on the slight sign of anger Taza showed in his tone when his story reached the point at which the Horror Vacui came in the scene. Normally, he wouldnft jump to conclusions based on slight hints like that, but he remembered already thinking something along the lines back in their first conversation soon after his return, so the picture was becoming a lot clearer to Garve. As things seemed to him, Taza was not very happy with the current state of Hueco Mundo under the Horror Vacui, whether it was because he enjoyed the previous rule under the Royal Family or simply because he detested this one he did not know. He labelled it under conjecture for now, but he knew he had just dag in a gold mine.
His thought was interrupted when he suddenly noticed Taza was asking him a question.
gHmh Garve pondered for a second his answer, if Taza had been indeed training Calixta since an early age, and if he did in fact remember him, then hiding anything would be pointless, at least as far as his desertion went. Even if Taza didnft seem to remember him right now (or so was his impression), it was surprising how much people could remember when trying to, so the fact still remained that he couldnft hide much. gI was part of the Espada before Calixta was born and remained around afterwards for a while, so you might already be familiar with my departure. If you are, then you would know I am a traitor to the Royal Family and that I escaped Hueco Mundo for that reason. In my defense, I'll just say that I have my own good reasons for doing what I did. Either way, remaining in Hueco Mundo didnft seem like a good idea, as I could be discovered quite easily if I didnft keep myself in the constant move, so I decided to hide in the human world, where it would be easier and I could remain stationary. Then, I suddenly got a visit from the Horror Vacui and they demanded me to become Primera, to which I saw little choice but to accept and here you have me now. I think that answers both of your questions.h He had remained in the human world for that long in hiding indeed, but what he didn't say is that the heaviest reason for him to be there so long is that he loved the human race to the point he would gladly give his life for them. Even Xifan, his right-hand man, didn't know that, so he would probably take that secret to his grave.
Garve was going to cut the subject there, but he suddenly had an idea just as he finished his sentence. It was time to know what Taza truly felt about the new power in rule and he thought he knew the right way to do it. His etrickster-selff as he liked to call it when nobody could hear him, had just been activated.
gBut Ifm glad that it finally happened.h Garve added, smiling with what seemed like a sincere yet calmed smile for the first time during their conversation. gIt was obvious something like this would happen given the Royal's ineptness as a ruling power and Ifm sure wefll be better off with the Horror Vacui now. If Calixta had learned to lead her own race, she probably wouldnft have avoided getting killed like the dog she was. Well, not like I would mourn her either way.h

Taza nodded before saying. “Ah, I remember Calixta throwing a fit about that. Worst week of my life..” He said with a slight chuckle as he remembered all the things Calixta ordered him to do. “That kid was spoiled, that’s for sure.” He said shaking his head as he remembered how she always acted.
His eyes shot a gold glance at Grave as he listened to his speech. “Maybe so, the royal family wasn’t right to rule the Arrancar, especially not Calixta. That much is for certain. But, if your so blinded by the Horror Vacui’s power then your not as smart as I thought you where. Despite the change in structure, the arrancar’s role has become even less important then under the royal family. Under them we where pawns, soldiers do there bidding and ask no questions. Under the Horror Vacui, we are slaves, under a role we cannot over throw. In my opinion, better the devil you know. And we do not know the Horror Vacui. The only way Los Noches will ever have adequate rule is when the Arrancar rule for themselves. A Los Noches led by the Espada.”
If Grave wanted to know what he felt, then there it was. He didn’t hold back this time. Death knew how much he hated him, hell even Sojukin new of his utter distastes for being a slave under Death. Though in truth his vision was tainted by his past history with Death. But one had to face the facts, even if Taza would never admit it, he most likely would have died long ago if he was left to his passive ways instead of striving for power to fight Death. Death had played a key role in his life. Taza was going to make sure he played a key role in his death..

"Hmm" Garve's humming before replying was now becoming a habit. It's more fun when you get an emotional response." He added, going back to his bored tone and murmuring more to himself than to Taza.
Taza didn't seem to react to the fact that he was a traitor to the Royal Family nor did he seem angered by Garve's uneducated criticism of the previous rule, in fact he had just agreed with him that Calixta was not suitable for a ruler, which led him to think Taza was not as dedicated to them as he had initially thought. Now he knew how Taza felt about the Horror Vacui and their new system, and he was surprised that he had been willing to share the information so openly, but it had been a boring way to find out, and just when he thought Taza would be the fun, easy to see through type of person.
"You seem very comfortable telling me this, so I'll assume it is not so much of a secret." He finally started talking and sighed, only to chuckle right after. So many new questions come to mind now that you tell me this. Why did you REALLY join the Espada then? Are you planning a coup d'état, just like the previous Tercera, or does this mean you have just resigned your desires? Do you have the supporters to carry out something like a rebellion? Are you fully convinced that it's not like you just want to be in power for the authority? Do you think all Espada would be willing to cooperate with your new ruling order idea, and even if they did, would you like to see someone as Sojukin as part of the new ruling power?"` Those questions and many more crossed Garve's mind, and the moment he lost count of them, he ceased to want an answer to all. "To tell you the truth, I'm way too lazy to go through each one of them individually, so for now I will only ask you one thing and if you answer I will be satisfied: do you want to kill the Horror Vacui? And if you do, what about their followers?"

Taza nodded silently for a minute before saying. “Your right, people like Sojukin would have no place in the ruling of the Arrancar.. It would take..” He paused for a second. “A bit of remodeling on how the head would work. A council of ten, strong but also people smart enough to lead.. And people like Sojukin would either have to heel or be.. dealt with. Granted it would take a good bit of ironing out, but the Horro Vacui have done a good job shaping up the Arrancar into a proper military force. Something the previous regime never could have done.”
He turned his head towards Grave before saying. “I’m surprised you don’t know the answer to that. Especially with the Arrancar’s gossip these days. I told it to Death’s face that while others are going to come at his back that when I come it will be for his face. Me and Death have a past, we have fought twice and both times I guess I amused him enough for him to spare me. In truth I hadn’t seen him in over three thousand years and I was quite hopping I never would see him again.. There followers will either flock to us after there demise like they flocked to them after the demise of the royal family and the destruction of the Espada, or they will have two options, leave or fight us.”
Taza shook his head before saying. “It is unfortunate but it will cost many lives. But right now the Arrancar are the target of every other race, the shingami’s pride has been hurt, the Vizards will follow the Shingami, as will the humans. If we cannot get them to start fighting each other again and not focus so much on us we may very well be destroyed.. A war is on the horizone, and I know you can see it. Death wants it, he wants to see all us weaker beings fighting against each other, are strong falling so none can oppose him. The Horro Vacui are clearing the board of pieces on each side. Are you really ok with that? Are you fine with them playing god over all of us?”

It was becoming increasingly clear as the conversation continued that Garve needed to become more introverted with the Espada and Horror Vacui, but he could take care of that later on. Besides, for now he could just rely on Xifan for that kind of information.
"I have my own plans, Taza, and being toyed with by some old farts playing gods-gang is not part of them. I will not lie, so let me be clear in that I would like to see them all dead.h Garve replied, and by the time he got to the last sentence, a calmed yet disturbing smile was drawn on his face. He hadnft given it much thought, but the Horror Vacui were indeed the one factor that was keeping him from living his life the way he wanted. His smile did not last long and as he spoke again, it faded gHowever, the Hueco Mundo you describe is not part of my plans either. I donft mean to say I will try to stop you, but just so we are clear from the start, I have no intention of helping you whether you ask for my aid or not, although Ifm guessing you wouldnft.h
Garve didnft precisely love the future that Taza was describing to him. Leaving aside the fact that being part of the ruling faction of Hueco Mundo seemed like nothing more than a pain to him, he had no interest in it; if any, probably as much as in the one he was already in. This was also where their ethics came to conflict with each other, as he despised the idea of edealing withf supposed co-rulers (which no matter how many laps you gave around it was death or forced desertion), even if they were someone such as Sojukin. No matter how you looked at it, that was manipulation.
"Ifll sympathize with your cause of freedom, but I hope you are aware that it is a half-assed idea now." He added, his questioning had ended and he was again putting more concentration on using his Pesquisa than on the conversation. "Needless to say, you alone stand no chance against the Horror Vacui, so you need help in the form of big numbers and skilled allies. Even if you gathered all the Espada, which I donft see happening, victory is extremely unlikely and there is no other race you can resort to. And even if managed to pull it off, nothing would change since we are, as you said, targets; and not because the Horror Vacui are with us, but because we are Hollow. Or did you think that because they disappeared suddenly all the races would forget who we are? The future is grim, but your plan is not a solution."
