Tree Of Blood. This was the name of the home of the Cuatro Espada, Master Of Reishi, most dense creature in Hueco Mundo, Nize Split. All surrounding wild Hollows kept as far, as possible of this unnatural being growing out of earth. It was about 500 meters high and 50 meters in radius. This tree had hundreds of branches, dropping huge shade below. What makes this object so feared was the fact that it was completely made from fresh, living flesh. On the white sand background this tree could be easily seen withing 5 km and even more. What seemed even more odd was the flesh pods growing from the branches. They were in different sizes, but all pulsated like beating hearts. Like ants, this tree and the pod were tended by white insect-like Hollows. With caring, steady movements these beings watched for the well being of their creators home. Time to time a pod would open, in so releasing a Hollow or Arrancar from it. Then one or another insect Hollow would take these newborns and take them inside the tree. Without these insects there were multiple Arrancar with Shadowfall uniforms. All of them were Nize's creations, guardians of this Hollow birthplace.

Today though one would find that without these creatures there were additional two more which stood even more out. One was Nize Split, the owner and creator of Tree Of Blood. He was standing just right next to the stump and had some sort of device attached to it. Like always the males skin was as white as paper, hair and eyes as black, as coals and a long, black devil-like tail could be seen popping out his behind. A pair of sharp horns came out of his messy hair. At that moment Nize was wearing a white lab coat. Next to the Arrancar another one stood, seeming as odd, as everything else in this place. This creature wore a black leather jacket with metal spikes on shoulders without anything else but bare, white flesh under. The body was slim, but fit with well detailed muscles. His pants were also leather and so tight that nothing had been left for ones imagination. Biker boots with platform heals made him taller then Split next to him. His name was Lust and at that moment the guy was hungrily eyeing the guards around, having a dirty smirk on his lips and a devilish fire in his green eyes.

What Nize was doing today with his reverse self was conducting a monthly check on the Hollow Tree or "Tree Of Blood" as others around had started to name it. A organism so large took time and dedication to keep on full health. It was even more important because of the fact that this Hollow was also his lab and mother to thousands of creatures the male had made in years. Somewhere on top slowly another flesh pod opened and the male had a cheerful smile while looking at the process. Birth of new life was so wonderful. Lust suddenly spoke in quiet tone while still eyeing those around him.
"How long till your life stabilizer will fail? I had been three weeks already!"

The boy pretended that he didn't hear this question though the depression in the males eyes clearly showed something else. In truth the Cuatro Espada was slowly dying. After fusing with his Hollow essence the Shinigami part each Arrancar had was fighting in his body with the Hollow part. In result the males body was failing and slowly dying. He had already multiple times created different life stimulants to drag on his life, but it was becoming harder and harder. The last device was now properly working already for three weeks which meant it could break down every moment. This was also the reason why the boy was working hard on expanding the abilities of The Tree Of Blood. It may hold his solution of living.

Much had changed in these past few years. Not only had world powers changed dramatically, but even the endless, ageless white sands of Hueco Mundo seemed to have undergone pretty drastic alterations in a mere blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things. There were many new faces in these lands, new populations and civilizations, and many of the old powers seemed to have become absent. Nagato Tengan no longer reigned over much of Hueco Mundo as a godlike tyrant, Ashlei Clixx-Komura wasn't an active force in the realm of Hollows anymore either. Even the lesser Arrancar leaders, like the Espada, had been replaced by newer faces. However, there was one being that had returned to the organization he used to call home.

Kimimaro Kaguya, former Trecera Espada and current Quinto Espada, still walked through the desert sands of his ancient home despite everything that had happened. After leaving the Espada previously, he had finally returned despite the woman he believe to be his god and savior, Ashlei Clixx, being absent from both the Espada and his life in general. Were it not for his revival and thus having part of his old self back, his self from before Ashlei shattered his mind, he would likely be mindlessly attacking people on Earth like a Hollow. However, he had grown to have a semblance of understanding and self awareness again. Kimimaro could make his own decisions, and could once again find his own path in life...however, old habits die hard and that was especially obvious today.

Today, Kimimaro, clad in his signature white and black outfit with his white, shoulder length hair hanging down, swaying slightly as the ever-present desert winds blew, stood among the sands with a single purpose in his mind. He was here to "drop in", so to speak, on another Espada member, the current Cuatro. However, this visit was a little bit less friendly in nature than that phrase may imply. Standing roughly a hundred yards away from a sickening looking "tree", if it could even be called that, Kimimaro looked upon the location of his target with a straight face and dead eyes. Despite appearing completely uninterested, he was very much focused on his reasoning for being there and was extremely observant as well, seeing and sensing every individual, minute movement that occured around, on, and in the "Tree of Blood". The reason for this was his still semi-robotic mindset, which forced him to consider every possibility that could occur from what he had planned. He wanted to make sure he'd be able to do this without unnecessary complications...

Moving with precision, Kimimaro raised both of his arms from their previous locations at his sides so his hands were very close together in front of himself. The palm of his right hand was facing skyward while his left hand was balled into a fist except for his index finger, which pointed straight out. Suddenly the skin on the tip of his finger tore open, except instead of blood coming out, an extremely sharp bone emerged about an inch. He brought his index finger, and thus the bone, down to his right hand where he cut a line along his palm until a little bit of blood seeped out. After doing so, Kimimaro closed his right hand and began to squeeze tightly, though this only lasted for a second. A massive burst of energy spiked in his hand, and he opened his palm and faced it towards the massive tree he was aiming for. Out of his palm, Kimimaro unleashed an absolutely gigantic blast of white, glowing energy that blocked out all of his vision simply due to how large it was. It grew even more however, rapidly as well, until it even overshadowed the Tree of Blood. In a fraction of a second, this massive blast known as a Gran Rey Cero, completely enveloped the Tree and the area around it in extremely powerful energy, energy so strong in fact the very fabric of the space around it began to distort. If unprotected, the Tree of Blood and the people in it and around it could very well be wiped cleanly off the map due to the sheer force of the attack. Pure, unadulterated destruction would be the result of this Cero. In a few moments, the destruction stopped and standing among the dust was Kimimaro, unchanged completely from a few moments ago.

"I will restore the greatness of the Espada....starting with number four."

As Nize was going through the readings of his device. If specific, then the temperature of the outer layer of the Hollow Tree, his Zone Of Control picked up something strange. Having a unique power to manipulate all Reishi in the radius of 2 km Nize could see everything in that zone. It was a useful skill in a battle as well, as just to keep safe him and those around him. Lusts sensing ability was weaker, only 1km, but his control over Reishi was twice as powerful, as Nizes regarding Reishi absorbing. Anyhow, what both males sensed was a extremely powerful presence in 91 meter distance from them. The figure was Arrancar and held strength greater then Nize or Lust. He was quite tall and something in the persons inner Reishi consistence felt weird.

The Cuatro Espada turned in the direction of the newcomer just to see that Lust wasn't looking at the male with his usual weird grin, but...Almost suspicious. It seemed the Saca Dilla didn't like him. It was then when his sensing ability picked up the Arrancar gathering energy. From that alone Split could tell it wasn't something good and even before the Cero had been fired Nize knew he needed to act. It was good that this was Hueco Mundo and not Earth Realm. In the place completely built from Reishi the male could easily manipulate with the energy from which the sand itself was built and air was filled to create a huge shield big enough to cover the whole radius of the blast. The shield of course didn't last long enough cause it was created in thin, fragile layer, but saying the truth the only thing Nize had needed was for the blast to connect with something long enough. Cero, upon connecting with some sort of target, always turned into violent and free Reishi. It wasn't as concentrated anymore and if the person didn't posses Reishi manipulating power as Split did the shooter didn't have any control over the blast he created. In the same time when this happen Nize Split could use his Reishi controlling power to open his palm and make all the energy released by the blast to simply travel in his palm in the form of small energy ball.

He would take no time to let his enemy act. Mentally ordering all his creations to gather underground his clothes changed in a blink of a eye from a white lab coat to a black jacket with skulls in shoulder places, black leather pants and a bull skull belt. What the enemy should worry about is that in the same time land under his feet would light up bright blue and release a raw stream of concentrated Reishi on par to a blast of Gran Ray Cero. If he avoided or not the Cuatro Espada would boost his Sonido with accelerated stream of Reishi so he could appear as close to the intruder, as possible o throw the energy ball in his palm at the male. The ball then wouldn't explode but shatter in masses of black energy chains which then tried to bind the Arrancar. As these chains were made from quite amount of the Gran Ray Cero the stranger released it would require great amount of strength to brake them. On top of that from the opposite side a massive black hammer swung by Lust would attempt to land on the guy with a full power of Master level strength. Even with the strongest defense a person still should take considerate damage.

With end of that pair of huge, black bat wings made of black energy would pop from his back and two large futuristic guns in length of Nize himself appeared in the males hands. He then would aim these guns at his enemy, preparing to act if this battle would go further ahead.
"WHO YOU ARE!!? SPEAK!!!"
