Guerra sets the order to ready men and equipment for their next goal.
Many troops gather equipment while their superiors reorganize the ranks.
The scouts ventured in the surface to collect data about the Surface of Hueco Mundo for the research department.
The newly formed Resource Department began to use the technology provided by the Research Department. Machines that could create clothing, sheets, paper and quartz wood with spiritual energy from hollows.
The 50 members of the department began working. (They are paid with Shiba's fingers that are full of spiritual energy.)
Clothing and sheets were delivered to each soldier of the Battalion that is ordered to venture to the surface. (Companies no longer lead as the army grew larger ofcourse, it was personally issued by Guerra himself to redo the ranks as stated earlier.)
A piece of paper was distributed to each of the 5 only Commandante.
It showed a drawing of a big gap that's high above the walls and beside it, coordinates written down on where it is.
Moments later, hundreds of hollows gathered below the gap. They are still waiting for the orders of Guerra and his commamdantes.
Soon enough, they all arrived.
Guerra makes a speech before they advanced.
"I.... Have achieved what past leaders, couldn't. To unite the forest under 1 power, and it's all because of you. I never would've had such luxury of being a leader with all of your efforts.
I now ask..... Will you help me conquer the surface?"
The soldiers screamed in unison
"YES."
"YES."
"YES."
"YES."
The answer was clear.
Guerra orders his men
"Let us climb the wall and march through the gaps!"
They all started climbing the wall.
Guerra leads the march of hundreds of hollows to the surface.
We cut to the surface of Hueco Mundo, desert, and it's night, always is, small hollows roam around, lizards and rat hollows.
Suddenly.
BOOM!
What emerged from the sand was Guerra and his army.
Guerra orders his men.
"We build a camp here! Mark this exact spot, this is our way back."
They all began to build a small base of operations at the desert. Soldiers used sheets and wood to build tents, others readied walls around the base to protect it. Scouts were sent to patrol the area for any danger.
Rather than waiting around, Guerra told his commandantes that he will be out exploring the surface.
After hours of wandering around the desert, he comes across a ruin. Doesn't have a roof yet has pillars, it's tiles are brown red.
Guerra spots a throne, implying that someone governs this place.
Suddenly, big hollows emerged from nowhere.
They started attacking him but Guerra fought back.
One lunged at him but Guerra easily decapitates him.
2 attacked him together by grabbing his arms.
But it was futile as Guerra simply broke free and used Cero Combatir on the both of them by punching them both in the face with it.
Another tried, but Guerra cuts him in half in a blink of an eye.
Essentially, all the other hollows left are left fearing for their lives, so they've become passive towards him.
Guerra hears clapping near the throne.
"(clap, clap, clap*) Well.... done!"
Guerra glances at the one clapping, it was a hollow that has skull for a head, wearing a crown and a large black and purple cloak.
It speaks.
"Have you no shame trespassing in a God's domain???? GHAHAHHAHA!"
Guerra breaks his silence.
"This doesn't look like a God's domain to me."
The hollow laughs arrogantly again.
"WHAHAHAHA.... It's because beings like you, are simply too weak and stupid to see it!"
Guerra just continues to stare at him menacingly.
The hollow speaks again.
"My name is.... Barragan Louisenbairn. The KING of Hueco Mundo!.... Now..... It's been a while since someone of true power aside from myself, has entered Las Noches!"
Guerra still glancing and listening to Barragan's word but is ready to fight without entering a stance.
"Now.... We shall fight! Hundreds of years of waiting around has simply numbed my fighting spirit."
Barragan reveals a large sized battleaxe and leaps through the air aiming to kill Guerra.
Guerra readies his fist and instead of dodging, he grabs the axe by its handle and counters with his right fist.
Barragan was able to catch it, but Guerra's fist started to glow and it suddenly explodes in face.
A smoke cloud appeared.
Guerra takes a step back.
The smoke clears, Barragan was left with some scratches but barely any damage.
Guerra mutters to himself.
"He's tough... He's clearly Vasto Lorde class Menos. I probably can't beat him."
Barragan leaps towards Guerra read to swing his axe.
Guerra dodges, Barragan swung again but Guerra dodges by ducking. But Barragan saw an opportunity and grabbed Guerra's face. He began to hit Guerra's head towards the floor, breaking it. Barragan started to repeatedly do the action while he talks.
"Come on.... I expected alot from you...."
Guerra tries to break out but his grip on his face was too strong.
He then grabs on to Barragan's skeleton like wrist and tries to break.
Barragan readies his axe to chop off his arm.
Suddenly, Guerra raised his right arm and fired a Bala on his face.
Barragan finally let go of Guerra's face.
"AGHHHH.... YOU!"
Guerra gets up and dissappeared immediately.
As the smoke cleared Barragan realized that Guerra is gone.
Suddenly, above Barragan there were countless amounts Balas heading towards him.
With a single swing of his axe, he dispersed all of them in a second.
"Insolent tactics!!"
Once again, with Guerra nowhere to be found, Barragan ceaselessly looked around for him.
"WHERE IS HE!?!"
It was revealed that Guerra was behind him the whole time.
Guerra swings his fist at Barragan.
Barragan realizes it and attempts to block it, but it was futile.
Guerra aimed for the head, he was able to deliver the jab and unleashed a Cero Combatir on it.
Las Noches was hit with an explosion and after it, smoke emerged.
Barragan swiped with his arms completely eliminating any trace of smoke around him.
It was revealed that Guerra already left Las Noches.
Barragan touched his face, realizing that the attack gave him a scar.
He began to laugh menacingly, realizing that he found a worthy opponent.
He screams as the battle for him was finally starting to get fun.
"RrrrrrrrNGAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
We cut to Guerra travelling back to his base while covering his tracks to avoid being followed.
He mutters to himself.
"That was close.... If I continued the, the battle would've been bloody.
Hours later. He returned back. But something was off, the spiritual pressure of his Commandante's were weakened.
He immediately went to check on the camp, only to see that his base was destroyed, the walls, and the camps. He saw his men struggling to stand up as they've gained deep wounds and cuts.
He sees a humaoid hollow holding a Commandante by his neck.
He tells himself.
"Who is that?! His physique is of that of a human! It must be a Vasto Lorde!"
The hollow crushes his neck, killing him instantly.
The hollow turns around and sees Guerra.
The hollow senses his spiritual energy.
"Hmmmm. You're strong, I assume you're the leader here?....
WHO SAID THAT YOU GET TO REPLACE MY PLACE AS THE RULER OF THE FOREST???!!!!!"
In a blink of an eye.
The Vasto Lorde is in front of Guerra.
The hollow simply flicked him with his fingers.
Guerra was sent flying in the air and hits the ground with a bang, sending sand everywhere.
Guerra immediately gets up.
Dusting off the sand.
Before he knew, the hollow is already behind him.
Guerra sensed him with his pesquisa and turned around immediately blocking his body with arms.
The Vasto Lorde began hitting him with light jabs. But ir was too much for Guerra despite taking such basic attacks.
The hollow uses his sonido and leaps from above, and kick Guerra in the head, sending him going through the sand and into the uderground forest. Hitting the ground with an explosion.
