Szayel walked back and forth in the cold interior of his secret lab. He walked back and forth looking down at the monstrosity on the slab. THe bright lights looking down at the monsterous Hollow. Szayel snaped his fingers and a pair of metallic claws slowly extended from the ceiling. Szayel began to make a audio recording of the ordeal "subject seems to remain unconcious, the probability that he will not survive the procidure is %99.99. The mask removal procedure will begin, I have taken the precautions to make sure that this Hollow will not become an Arrancar." The hollow screamed in pain as the mask was ripped from its face, Szayel grinned as the creature died and dissolved into nothingness. "Computer the time has come pelase contact our... associate and tell him that the first procedure has been completed. Send one of our bugs to the World of the Living to tell him the good news, and please ask him if he wants me to come to the World of the Living to deliver it personally"

An insect crawled along the branch of a fir tree without difficulty. Once it reached it's destination, it unlatched it's spindly legs from the soft bark and dropped onto it's target. A mess of black hair became a nest. Scurrying down the back of the neck, Grimm reached back his hand and attempted to swat it. It was an absent-minded swat, not a lot of energy or attention put into it, so it was natural that he missed and lost interest. Suddenly, the insect emerged on Grimm's shoulder. A beam of light shot from it's eye and hit the tree in front of him (for he was walking around the forest).

The light was a video hologram. Audio came from the bug itself, a speaker implanted on it's back. Being given the message that Szayel had intended for him, Grimm swallowed slowly. "Yes. That would be most helpful." Giving the bug instructions as to where Grimm would be when Szayel arrived on Earth, he quickly spun in the forest, deactivating his bow (no time for hunting now), and made his way towards the quickest path out. Moccosin's crushed grass, leaves and twigs with each step. Not paying attention, Grimm stared at the sun, checking the time. Shit. The arrancar would be meeting him at any moment now.

Hirenkyaku. A platform made of fire-infused reishi appeared under his feet and shot forward; high-speed travel at it's finest. Arriving at a clearing in a small park, with a few benches arranged in a circle, Grimm noted that there was nobody around. Good. They wouldn't want to see this.

Suddenly a Garganta opened and Szayel slowly walked out towards Grimm, he was dressed in his usual fashion, on his left arm there appeared to be a robotic bird perched and hissing at Grimm "Watch your manner Marvic" Szayel said once he reached Grimm "ahh Grimm yes, I have what you asked of me, we shall make this short and sweet" the bird flew in the air and landed on the ground, its chest opend up and slowly a tube came out of it holding inside it the Hollow Mask "this is what you asked for no?"

"Yes and no." Grimm answered curtly. Although he was pleased to see Szayel, he wasn't too pleased with the fact that Szayel was still killing in his experiments. It made attempting friendship a difficult process. "I thought we were just going to force the Hollow Reiatsu in me to energize and use that, instead of killing a Hollow and removing it's mask." As a quincy, Grimm could feel the remnents of Hollow energy inside of his body, the only thing that remained from his time as a Fullbringer (Aside from his Fullbring focus, the ring on his left hand).

He had wanted a way to access this Hollow power. Perhaps if he could tame it and use it for good, Hollow would stop getting such a bad reputation for generality. It may just allow for acceptance of all beings, arrancar, vaizard, shinigami and quincy alike. That was his goal. That was the true reason he founded Glühende Asche Entwicklung, the Embers of Progression. "Besides, I don't think that mask will truly work. I could try to absorb it, but even that is an unknown variable. Wearing it won't do anything. I don't have the key to it's energy." For someone that didn't put a lot of research into this, Grimm certainly was confident in his answers.

"The reason I think simply using my own latent Hollow reiatsu would work is this." Deciding to demonstrate something he had recently discovered for Szayel, Grimm brought his hand up. Staring at his fingers, he concentrated intently. Nothing would break his determination. Slowly, as sweat began to pour down his face, an orange light began to glow around his fingers. Flicking his hand rapidly, the energy shot from his fingers and flew through the air. Smashing into a tree, it exploded rapidly, causing the tree to detonate and explode. Bark and leaves filled the air. "As you can see... That's the seedling of a cero." Shoving his hand higher, Grimm pointed to a residue on his hand.

"I think this substance is made of the same material as your masks. It only appears when I try to use Hollow power." A white shell covered his fingers, barely noticeable. "Does any of this help your research?" Exhausted from over-using his Hollow power, Grimm dropped to one of the benches, inhaling deeply. Oxygen. He needed oxygen. Flickering, his eyes left his hands to the mask. A life lost, but not wasted. "Nevertheless... let me see the mask. Perhaps if I absorb it, it will jump-start the process." Vaizardification on a Quincy. Who would of thought it could be possible?

Reaching towards the mask, Grimm's hand shook. He was just too exhausted. If something happened and a fight started, there was no way the 19 year old would be able to fight. Looking up at Szayel, Grimm swallowed. He was directly under the mercy of this sadistic arrancar. Could he trust him? Should he trust him? Was any of this worth it? Slowly, the mask began to break down. Beams of energy, Hollow mask particles moving at high speeds, shot into Grimm's body. Feeling his energy regain, an inkling of evil was born. He could feel it growing, pulsing in his chest. Bringing the mask-coated hand up, he smashed it into the bench, shattering the residue into fragments.

He couldn't let this beat him. He had to control what was inside of him or all of his work, the lives lost for this, would be wasted. "Don't let this be a waste, Szayel.." Begging the arrancar, Grimm dropped his head back and stared at the sky, still trying to regain some stamina from his energy output.

Szayel smirked as he watched the cero energy rise from the boys hand this was a very interesting subject indeed "if you do think that absorbing this mask will help the process than by all means. He had to die of course I couldn't let the chance of the mask breaking resulting in an Arrancar. They would sell me out to the leaders of Los Noches of course. So please do as you will" Szayel stepped back, you never knew with these high reiatsu types.

"Marvic come here you fool" the bird hissed and flew back to its master "master, do you think that this man will be a success" the bird said in its strange voice, Szayel just nodded and watched the show. "Now I must point out to you that this will be the beginning of a process that I like to call the crystillization, you might feel a tad odd during the process. I also would like to inform you that this will only be the first part of the process we will have to gain more... Hollow powers but I think all that can wait until after we complete the process. So by all means enjoy your new.....toy" Szayel looked at Marvic and smirked, the bird seemed to read its masters thoughts, a tiny slit in its back opened and a tiny robotic bug flew off into the distance who was Szayel contacting?

It began as a dull pulse. Inside of Grimm's body, his veins and arteries were beginning to swell. Soon joining them, his organs began to swell as well. The pain that the Quincy was beginning to feel rose quickly, entering high capacity range almost immediately. As his body tried to cope with the process and new reiatsu, Grimm's mind was going through a workout as well. Do you like it? Is this what you wanted? Do you feel happy now? A voice similar to his own, although it had a strange static effect to it, erupted in his mind. It questioned him, his motives, and his goals. Why? Because that's what it was supposed to do.

Around his body, Grimm noticed one last thing before he blacked out. His reiatsu, a flaming orange that boasted pride and power had been summoned. It swirled around his body in a circular arc, gaining speed and power. Suddenly, it was tainted with a blackness. This black fire grew off of the orange flames, as if using it as it's primary fuel source. Immediately after he figured this out, the flames burst into a screaming whirlwind. A tornado subjected his body to burns, cuts, lacerations, and damage. But he didn't notice it. By the time his body was taking damage, he was already out like a light.

Coming back to his senses, Grimm noticed he was standing on top of a tree branch. Beneath him, a forest was caught ablaze in a massive bonfire. Despite this, no damage was occuring to the trees. It was as if the fire and trees were working in harmony. The fire fed off of nutrients that the tree provided, and the fire grew to heights that the tree could only imagine. Marveling at this, Grimm almost didn't notice the black-flame arrow aimed for his head. Leaping out of the way the moment he sensed danger, it smashed into the tree he had been standing on and imploded. Exploding only moments after, a decent portion of the forest was destroyed.

"WHO'S THERE?!" Roaring, Grimm summoned his bow with a simple flick of his wrist. Spinning around, his eyes scanned the area for the attacker. You are. Behind him. Pivoting on heels that floated in mid-air thanks to a flaming platform beneath his feet, Grimm nearly dropped his weapon in shock. The being that greeted him was ... him. Granted, the creatures colors had been inverted and his arrows were black, but it was still him. Is this what you want? Holding up his hand, Grimm saw a gauntlet made of bone form without effort from the being. If you want the power of a hollow.. You must defeat your own hollow. I am your doubt and mistakes. My name is... Frieden

(OOC: I think you should play my inner Hollow to make it fair.)

The bug flew off toward the office of Omega chairman Jacob Chambers who was sitting,in his office

I,hear a clink and then several more clinks.i look up and see a tiny robotic bug slamming itself against the window of my,office. I swipe my,hand over a panel on mt,desk and the window slides open.the bug flies in and lands on my desk. I look down at the marvel before me"Szyeal what could it be this time my genius friend?" The bug vibrates and I,await,to see,what will happen

The bug flickered on the desk and a hologram of Szayel quickly appeared from the eyes. "Hello Jacob, I hope you enjoy my new work" Szayel clapped his hands and another hologram appeared, this one acting as a window, the image showed a man who seemed to be unconcious "I have created a grand creation, with the help of this Quincy of course, they said God created man in his image, well I just created the Quincy... in mine, please watch and you will see the results"

----------------------------------------------------------

Szayel walked around the unconcious body, perhaps the first procedure was to much for the humans body to handel, well if he survived we would definatly suffer from a little split personality disorder "well I hope you wake up, I do hate waisted potential" Szayel leaned close to the QUincy, his forhead touching his "whats going on in that little world of yours Quincy, I do hope for quick result.... ohh we are going to have so much fun together" Szayel extended his hand and grinned, he lunged his hand into the body of the Quincy and began to laugh "now lets see what he have in there, I do think that you will be mine, and once that happens....well... I think it will be time for me and Jacob to finally begin what he have been planning all along"

---------------------------------------------------------

There was a sudden presence, a disturbance more like it, like some outside force was trying to weasle its way into the body and take controll of the situation. The Hollow looked up and grinned, accept something was diffrent, for a second the body seemed to vanish and in its place was Szayel Aporro Granz "hello there friend, I do hope your enjoying the power I promised you" Szayel quickly dissapered and the Hollow returned "I think its time you learn the truth of our deal, never trust and arrancar, especially me, I intened to take whats mine... your body and free will" it tilted its head and grinned "please dont try to risist it will be so much easier if you don't"

(ooc,is there a posting order?)

(OOC: Yes. There should always be a posting order. Otherwise a thread is messy. Anyway, it's your post, Tazuma.)
