Sitting in my usual training hall, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The cool air filled my lungs as I focused on the task at hand. The satisfaction of breaking that last shackle by saying goodbye to Orihime filled my heart, but now was not the time to dwell on it.
Aizen and his cohorts had returned to Soul Society for a few days, and that gave me an opportunity to reach that new stage without them analizing and obstructing me.
For too long, I had held back, cautious of revealing too much of my true strength in front of the shinigamis. But now, I felt free to explore the full extent of my power.
I couldn’t be bothered to deal with the other Espadas or I would lose the opportunity in front of me and fail to reach la segunda etapa of my resurrección.
Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and honed in on the sensations around me. The cool air brushed against my skin and the faint sound of rustling sand filled my ears.
I let my spiritual energy flow freely within me as I visualized the true form of my being. That from I had glimpsed at the moment when the last shackle of Sora’s soul broke.
As I delved deeper into my thoughts, I remembered the revelation I had during my mission. I was a hollow that represented jealousy.
How could I not be one?
In my past life, I had witnessed a man proposing to a woman at a resort in the mountains. The woman had accepted happily, and everyone around them had congratulated them. But not me.
I had been so jealous back then, for I had been rejected just a few weeks prior by my ex-girlfriend, causing me to have a panic attack and run into the nearby woods.
It was almost night, and the darkness made it difficult to see where I was going.
In my hurry to leave, I misstepped on a branch and tumbled down the mountain, hitting rocks and trees on the way down until I ultimately broke my neck on a particularly large rock at the bottom.
Adding to that, was Sora. A man who had turned into a hollow out of solitude and jealousy after his sister apparently began to forget him and made new friends, even falling for a boy.
So, the answer was obvious, I was the Espada that represented the jealousy that leads to death.
As I came to the realization of my true nature, a fierce energy began to well up inside me. The air around me became charged with electricity, as if the very atmosphere was responding to my power.
My primera etapa of resurrección started to form on my body on its own.
With a primal roar, I released the full extent of my power, sending shockwaves through the training hall and shaking the very foundation of the building. The air around me rippled, as if I was the epicenter of a powerful storm.
“Segunda etapa.” I muttered.
A purple-blue mist started to form in the air around me. I looked down at my arms, the armor of my resureccion looked lighter, retaining the white and red lines of my primera etapa, now enhanced by the power of my segunda etapa.
Looking down, I could see my tail now sported black lines akin to a flame.
But it didn't end there. As I shifted my weight, a pair of appendages on my back caught my attention. Instinctively, I knew they were formed by what used to be the lower half of my hollow mask.
Using my hand, I pulled the new appendage to discover some kind of small wing. They were sharp, formed by hair-like feathers that were a deep shade of red. Though they were not meant for flight, they were a symbol of my new power.
“Amazing.” I breathed out in wonder.
For the first time in a long time, I felt like I could take on the world by myself. With each breath, I relished in the raw power that coursed through my body. I felt free, invincible.
Regardless, I knew I had to control myself, my overconfidence was just a momentary moment caused by the sudden increase of my power.
So, I slowly brought my power back under control, only to realize that I was not alone. Some of my fellow Espadas had appeared and were observing my new form from a distance.
Harribel, Stark, Yammy and Nntoira, all of them looking at me with impassive faces.
Ulquiora himself was standing in the shadows, a rare look of surprise on his face.
Stark's voice broke the silence, drawing my attention to him. His usual nonchalant expression was replaced by a more calculating one, as if he was assessing my newfound power.
"That was impressive." He said, his words laced with a hint of surprise, but still lazy. "You truly are a force to be reckoned with."
I couldn't help but grin at his reaction. It was satisfying to know that I had surprised even one of the most laid-back Espadas.
"Thank you." I replied, my tone confident. "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."
Stark nodded slowly, his gaze still fixed on me. "Yes, I can see that," he said, his voice low. "Your power will be a valuable asset to our cause." Seemingly preparing to depart.
I decided to turn back to my training, my newfound power humming inside me.
As I prepared to continue, I glanced over at Nnoitra, a wicked smirk forming on my lips.
"How about we have another go, Nnoitra?" I taunted.
Nnoitra's response was a crazed grin, his eagerness to fight evident in his eyes. Nearby, Yammy cracked his fists, itching for a fight as well. I could sense their desire for battle, their bloodlust matching my own.
Aonte Acidwire had finally found his true self and Sora's. But he has revealed his true power in the process.
Senhor_Verdejante asked for the timeline the other day.
Here is a part of the timeline I'm following for canon:
| Date | Canon | Modified |
| Middle of May | Rukia Kuchiki & Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Fishbone D. Ichigo becomes a Shinigami. | Rukia Kuchiki & Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Cicada hollow. Ichigo becomes a Shinigami. |
| Middle of May | Ichigo vs Acidwire | Ichigo vs Acidwire |
| Middle of May to Middle of June | The Cursed Parakeet: Rukia Kuchiki & Yasutora Sado vs. Shrieker, Ichigo Kurosaki vs. Shrieker
| Acidwire finds his true self. |
Omake: Heart break
Tier Harribel quickly made her way to the training hall where she felt a sudden eruption of power.
As she entered the hall, her eyes widened at the sight before her. Sora Inoue, also known as Acidwire, had transformed into a new form.
His body was now bigger, from his lower back emerged a long grey tail with black lines like flame covering it. On his back, a small pair of red rings appeared, completing his transformation.
But Harribel's focus wasn't entirely on Sora's new form.
"Damn, he would be perfect if he wasn't such a womanizer." She couldn't help but mutter under her breath.
Unbeknownst to her, her fellow Espadas were standing nearby and overheard her comment.
