Then, after telling Nazo to go find something fun to do in the Human world, he himself went to see how the progress on Ichimaru's project. When he checked on it through the monitor he'd installed a couple months earlier. What he saw made him smile evilly.<br/>

This was indeed going to be an interesting week ahead.<br/>

Yoruichi smirked as Koichi finally decided to give in and summon his mask. She turned her gaze back to Daisuke, who looked like he was frantically trying to read her technique.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffe1ff">"So, are you just going to stand there like a sack of rice?"</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">she asked, smiling.</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffe1ff">"Or are you going to come at me with everything you've got?

<br/>
Nell, a bit disappointed that Hitsugaya was done so soon, dropped out of her released state to tag along with the most level-headed Shinigami she knew, other than Koichi's mother. When the light of her sealing her sword cleared away, it was revealed that she'd worn teh shinigami shihakushou that Koichi had tailored for her four months prior.<br/>

</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff00">"Jin-San, I'd like to see Sokyoku Hill."</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">she said, ignoring the fact that some of the shinigami in the crowd were comparing her chest to Rangiku's.</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#00ff00">"That was where Koichi-Kun said he was going to be training."</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00"><br/>

Ulquiorra had expected the cero to come from a rather estranged angle, but was able to fire one of his own towards the sky, countering Dietor's. Remembering that Aizen had ordered him to not hold back, he leaped into the air and sped towards the day-time-like ceiling of Las Noches, aiming for the air outside of the palace. He was positive that Dietor was following, and as such, sliced a hole in the ceiling, creating a garganta-like passage to the outer portions.<br/>
<br/>
Once he reached the external confines of the white desert, he positioned himself on the one remaining pillar that had been rebuilt during the year, the moon being a perfect backdrop for him as he held his blade before him. Once Dietor was in sight, Ulquiorra spoke only two words.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"Tozase, Murcielago."</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00"><br/>
<br/>
His release culminated in a torrential rain of deep emerald reishi pouring down from the sky that, when it cleared, revealed Ulquiorra's released state. A pair of impressive bat wings spanned a good twenty feet across, and his mask fragment now resembled the upper section of a bat's skull. His outfit had taken on a relatively simplified style that resembled a one-piece robe. His sword was gone, leaving his hands bare. However, everyone who knew Ulquiorra's release state knew he could summon a spear of green reishi in an instant.</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#008000">"Come. Your training has only just begun."</span>
