What is Heart: Ashlei Clixx answer...[Nix&Chao]

Ulquiorra Cifer, the Former Espada, the first Segunda Etapa user and maybe one of the most strongest Arrancar in the Hueco Mundo, was flying in the sky, experimenting with the new body of his. From afar it looked as something very long, thin and with giant wings would get closer and closer to Las Rejillas. He remembered the first time seeing the place. It was much greater and bigger, then the original Las Noches, but also it looked more as a war base, then a actual palace. It was a home for a army, not king or queen.

Of course, it wasn't as the arrancar would care much. The place could look like anything, but he would just stare at the building like any other. Architecture really didn't interest him. The only thing that summoned any kind of curiosity was Las Vivente, the Hollow Tree. Something like that the male didn't remember from his time, when serving under Aizen and he had suspicions, that this thing was made after his time. But then again, the arrancar wasn't curious enough to really care.

Now he, after a longer time, needed to return at the Shadowfalls base. Those, who he had joined, couldn't be traced at the moment and had left him with no answers. The same was said about the man, which resurrected him. It left Ulquiorra with no choice, but to ask Ashlei Clixx.

Cifer didn't have any actual thoughts about the queen. Did he feel loyal to her? No, definitely not! Did he feel anything towards her? Respect, maybe. She was holding Hueco Mundo together and kept it running, so could compete against other races. She kept Arrancar as a race to be feared and showed others a feat, what he thought only he was capable of reaching. Yes, respect the women surely got from him.

Arrancar and hollows, that were guarding Las Rejillas, were shocked, seeing the former Cuatro Espada land in front of the gates. The guards wanted to stop him, say something, but they were too surprised, seeing Ulquiorra Cifer and that, how he had changed. The maskless face stared at one of two guards for a moment and then he just kept going on. The males wings had wrapped around his body, making something of a fur coat and he used his rusty looking zanpakutō as a cane. Now, with no mask and pink, healthy cheeks, he went further and further to the Hollow Tree.

First, only fear and surprise could be sensed out of the hollows and Arrancar. Then hostility. In the start passive, it grew more and more active. Ulquiorra could sense it, feel it, but none of them were foolish enough to attack him. The surviving instinct was well made for these creatures.

Soon he entered the Hollow Tree, making his way to the trees master. The perquisa was already set to sense Clixx. After a moment or two the male noticed a strange thing, some walls of the palace tree seemed radiating odd energy. Touching one of these walls, the arrancar learned, that they were just illusion. It almost made him laugh...Almost.

Soon Ulquiorra Cifer reached his target, the entrance to Hollow Queens, Ashleis Clixx personal room. Did he find it with his powers? Or maybe it was the women, that let him reach her, he couldn't care less. If this will be a trap, he wouldn't be surprised. Acting fast was never his problem.

The male stepped in, bowed and stayed like that, until she spoke first. Then he would slowly got up and say.
”Greetings Queen of New Hueco Mundo! I came to ask for your assistance. I understand, that you have no deal with me, but you right now are maybe the only person left with the knowledge to help. If not, I will leave and go looking my answer myself." Somehow, he made the last sentence sound terrifying, still sounding neutral and emotionless as always.
