Las Noches holds the Queen of Demons (open)

Las noches sat in the middle of the great desert in a constant night. everything was lit up from the moonlight bouncing from the sand and walls of the collosal fortress. White walls reached towards the sky with a great dome over the top. Within, sky breaks out in an artificial day created by the former ruler of this world.

Looking over the world she had gained, the cero espada sat on her balcony high in the tallest tower. From here, she could see everything going on. Arrancar walked around with their work and espada talked to their fraccion happily. Ashlei however, merely sat on her balcony watching them and playign with her pink pig tails. Her black and dress flailed about from her slight shuffling but no real winds could actually reach her through the dome they are within.

"How happy they all look. Suppose i shouldnt be thinking about this. Lets go see whate evryones up to"

She looked down directly below as her legs kicked off from her chamber's overhanging ledge. She collided with the sands sending a gust into the air in all directions with a loud bang. Then it all fell back down to the floor where the arrancar stood with a straight face aimed towards a hallway she now walked towards.

Grimmjow, the ex-sexta Espada, could easily be found sitting on a sand dune looking at a few of the Arrancar walking around with a look of dissapointment. "When did Los Noches become the home for the weakest Arrancars in all of Hueco Mundo?", he said to himself as he let out a sigh and kicked up a bit of sand. He would stand up from where he was sitting, dust himself off, and head off toward where he used to sleep in Las Noches, a place where he could usually avoid any attention what so ever. Ever since Grimmjow had become a double agent, one thought had been in his mind, and that was to challenge Ichigo Kurosaki, but as of now he had not gotten the opportunity to do that because Ichigo, at least in Soul Society, was no where to be found. This had upset the panther king a great deal since he wanted to fight the strongest and the strongest warrior he knew of was Ichigo.

After walking for a bit he would look up, sensing a dense spiriual pressure, and watched as a girl descended from the heavens. If Grimmjow had not moved the girl would have surely landed on him, but Grimmjow would flip back, and land about five feet away from the impact, but that itself was not enough. As the girl landed a gust of wind, most likely created by a wave of spiritual energy, created a sort of sandstorm, but then settled just as quickly as it had began. The girl, paying no heed to who she had nearly landed on, began to walk toward the hall which was nearby. Grimmjow glared at the girl as he spit on the floor and began to follow her slowly, he was not too happy with how she had nearly landed on top of him and he hoped to have a word with the Arrancar, regardless of if she were Espada or not.

"You're just gonna walk off after nearly crushing me, eh? Get your ass back here and confront me.", Grimmjow said to the arrancar as he stopped in his tracks mid-way down the hall, his face showing signs of extreme anger, and his eyes wide open. If he had to fight he would fight, hell he hoped this turned into a fight because he hadn't punched, slashed, or killed anything in the past few days. So... he kind of needed his fix.

Ashlei didnt hear a thing. At least she pretended she didnt. Her legs kept her in stride and she walked straight into the doorway and out into the hall. There she continued walking completely out of Grimmjows sight and humming along to a familiar tune. About 5 minutes passed where most people just watched as she wandered away in her little world. Her voice could still be heard as it got quieter and quieter the furthur away she walked. Obviously, grimmjow would be pissed at her ignorance.

"la di da, pew pew pew, me me me, ma ma ma"

Then a tap of a small finger came from behind Grimmjow. Standing behind him was exactly the same girl with an interested look on her and a smile. The couple of arrancars that were watching jumped as she randomly appeared behind the former espada. They knew who he was, Ashlei was just a bit sumbstruck today liek every other day.

"Hi there sir, watcha talking to?"

He watched as the little Arrancar moved out of view as he grew even more frustrated and let out a roar that caused a lot of Arrancars around him to jump and move away from him. "Son of a bitch. Nearly fell on me and walking away without even responding to me. Fucker.", Grimmjow said as an arrancar stared at him and he looked at it. "What the fuck you looking at? I'm pissed and would have fun beating the living shit out of you!", Grimmjow shouted as the arrancar walked away, not wanting anything to do with the pissed off Panther king. That is when he fet the tap on his back, he wasn't surprised, and clearly was not impressed as he turned to see the little shit looking at him and asking him a question.

"Don't tell me you didn't hear me you son of a bitch.", Grimmjow growled as he kicked up a bit of sand on the floor, spraying it into the eyes of a nearby Arrancar who let out a scream of pain. "Oh shut up you pussy.", Grimmjow said as he began to talk to the little arrancar who had nearly fell on him. "Back outside...when you jumped off of that ledge you nearly landed on me and I don't take too kindly to those that are too stupid to pay attention to where they are going.", the blue haired warrior said with a growl. "So unless you want to be eating out of a straw for the next few months you better watch where you are going, capiesh?", Grimmjow finished as he roared at an arrancar that came too close, causing it to jump in fear. Fucking pussy ass Arrancars!, Grimmjow thought to himself as he went back to glaring at the little girl.

"Ah thats not nice at all mister" Ashlei looked at him with a happy face as if he didn't really do anything to her people. She smiled and skipped over to some of the arrancar that were slightly pissed at the actions of the former espada. However, Ashlei was doing everything she usually did around Las Noches as if she was used to such things. "ok, take those things and throw them in that room please." A young arrancar sprawled to her feet gathering what papers she had dropped in fright before running away at light speed.

Turning around, Ashlei moved her hand up to her head to rub the sand from her hair. Then she looked at the pissed off Grimmjow. "you know, its not good to shout here. Some people sleep at this time." Still, she didnt look unhappy and spoke in a way that gave advice rather than orders. She was a happy girl and made sure everyone knew it.

"Are you kidding me? You helping the little punk asses?", Grimmjow said as he turned to see that she was helping a fallen Arrancar pick up her paper works and even dusted the sand off of her. Grimmjow walked over to the Arrancar once Ashlei had moved out of the way and then as quick as lighting slammed his fist right through the arrancar like it was made of paper, a wicked grin played on his face as he then opened his palm and released a cero, blowing the top of half of its' body clear off. Turning to look back at Ashlei he shook his head. "When did this place get so boring? People actually used to do things here.", Grimmjow sighed and walked away from the little girl, but turned his head back.

"A little girl is not worthy of being an arrancar. It is neither in the best interest of the Espada nor the forces of Los Noches to have wimps like you here.", Grimmjow said with a wicked grin as he walked out through the tunnel he came with his hands in his pockets. Some would say Grimmjow was being a little crazy, but in fact he was on a mission. He was to disrupt the Arrancars as much as possible and judging by the files he read, the little girl was none other than Cero Espada. Grimmjow had laughed when he heard a little girl had been named Cero Espada, but didn't pay it any mind. A mission was a mission and right now he hoped to distract the Cero Espada for a while until he could complete the second mission...gathering intel on the enemy.

Ashlei was always considered weak no matter who it was that talked to her. Even the people that knew her well thought she was one of the weakest people they had met. This is for a pretty good reason: She never uses her resserecion. Looking at the arrancar that fell before her, she struck a cord in her mind at how this man acted. Attacking a fellow arrancar that was just trying to get by. why do such a thing? Just as he began to walk away, a small sniffle sound came from the espada's direction. She was crying.

"why... why the hell...*sob*... I liked her too..."

However, she was no fool. Ever since Grimmjow arrived and she leapt down from the balcony she had been plotting a series of ideas into a small but cunning plan. Even know through the fake tears she was humming a tune to herself. Soon, those little hums became lyrics that amde absolutely no sense. They were in some weird language that a school kid would have amde up with his friends. But, it had a very satanic aura about them. Every syllable sounded heavy and sharp. Ashlei continued this little song getting louder as she did.

It was as he was about to reach the entrance to the tunnel that he heard the humming, Grimmjow turned around, and then grinned. Knowing exactly what the little brat was doing from the reports of the few that survived to tell the tale, but yet remained permanetly cursed, the foe had started to hum when all of a sudden bad things started to happen. Thanks to Grimmjow's sensitive hearing he picked up the feint humming and knew what was coming at him. "Stop your fucking humming.", Grimmjow said, glaring at the little shit with anger it was then that Grimmjow decided to rip her lips off, and see how she liked it. It was then that Grimmjow moved, revealing his speed to the little Arrancar, and if she blinked he would miss his movement. Before she knew what was coming at her, he was behind the little shit, and laughing at her.

"You really know how to piss a mother fucker off, huh?", with that he sent his foot straight at a rather brutal speed, hoping to hit her, his hand was already ignited in the familiar red glow of a cero aimed for the direction where he was trying to kick her. Disrupting this ability would be the only thing he could do, to ensure that he did not share the same fate as those idiotic shinigami. They owe me big time for this, hopefully I don't come home in a body bag., Grimmjow thought to himself during the beginnings of his attack.

Ashlei closed her eyes as she heard a very short snap sound. From this, the famous sound of a warrior dashing was read-able, but Ashlei didnt care becuase she knew exaclty how to combat a lunatic. She was one herself. Her words were quickly shut off as a boot connected to her behind followed by a blast of reitsu from her opponent. Ashlei however, made no intention of dodging. Instead, she shut her mouth and hummed the lyrics to herself rather than speaking them. Taking a blast to her body is definately not what any smart person should undergo, but she was different.

Her body flew through the air and slammed into the floor a few yards away. She was slightly singed as smoke soared from her body. Lying on the floor, she continued to hum to herself even though her back hurt like a bitch. However, she slwoly brought herself to her knees withotu stopping her sentances at all. Blood fell down from her head and onto the palm of her hands where she licked it off and smiled.

"sudotor lara nikathuroshi lano surama konee. mana mo Doloroso Maldicion!"

These words suddenly shot a soundwave around the air. She knew exactly who was listening and that if anybody heard her singing like this, to run. Too bad Grimmjow likes a fight. Ashlei smiled before dashing forwards. The song should begin its work in a few seconds. Doloroso Maldicion is the curse of pain and causes peoples nerves to go into a short frenzy for a few seconds. With that diversion, Ashlei Sonido straight below Grimmjows chin while yelling: "Take this you ARSEHOLE!!!" Then she shot into the air with her fist raised and creating a nasty uppercut effect.

A normal Arrancar would have not started a fight with the Cero Espada, but Grimmjow was a crazy son of a bitch, and apparently as the pain hit his face first from the damn humming that had plagued him for the last few minutes he would fall backwards clutching his face, making the attack from the Cero Espada pointless entirely as it hit nothing, but air. Grimmjow fell on his back, getting his black jacket dirty as he did so, and rolled around on the ground shouting out several different types of obsenities. "Going for the face first, mother fucker this hurts! DAMNIT!", he rolls around for a bit before finally getting to his feet, and growling in frustration, he is hurting all over, but this only angers the blue haired warrior as he glares at the Cero Espada. "Oh..ow! You are...fuck...going to get your ass handed to you so bad!", Grimmjow winced as a mewing noise caught his attention from the corner of the room.

"Stop! I don't need fighting pointers!", Grimmjow shouted in pain and fury at the mewing coming from the corner, a hiss was heard, and Grimmjow would then shake his head. He would go to bring his knees to the gut of the Cero Espada with devestating force, trying to send her as far as he could up into the air. If the attack landed like the last one did, he had some kind of surprise for the Cero Espada in the form of a Sonido, and then a prepared downward strike with his fist. Of course his speed was slightly lowered because he was in pain, but he was beginning to get riled up, and if there was one thing you didn't want to happen, it was Grimmjow getting riled up because once he got into the fight...there was no telling what he would do.

More mewing would come from the corner, but would be ignored until the hiss would come. "Can't we talk about the catnip, later!", he shouted as he went for the knee.
