A large temple constructed for the use of the Mask Removal Ceremony. The temple's creation was built a little while after the Winter War and is used for Arrancars that seek mask removal. The difference between removing one's mask on their own and doing it here is by influence of the Hogyoku which was recently stolen again from Soul Society. Whereover it would take some hours, days, and even months to remove a mask, the process is done in munch more shorter periods of time with the Hogyoku. An Adjuchas or Vasta Lorde will cocoon themselves for a period and in this state they are contained mummified field of their own reiatsu and when they emerge will obtain more of a humanoid form and have most of their masks removed along with a zanpaktou.

 A rift like that of a hollow would apear outside the temple before not a hollow, but what appeared to be a human walked through, stepping on to the sand. His long red hair would blow slightly on a soft breeze as he simply looked at the temple entrance. "Amazing... I thought I found something, but this..." Though he was technically with Kazei, Kaen did not fully know where he stood, and so decided to to explore Hucto Mundo when he had the chance.
While he would not enter the temple, Kaen would use his spiritual energy to inspect the walls and interior, only touching the outside of it with his right hand. He was amazed that, inside was a perfect barrier. Not barriers produced by hollows or shinigame, but a barrier so perfect that nothing could even partially penetrate it. While Kaen was sure he could walk in, he wasn't about to do so as he was not even part hollow.

Continuing with his research Kaen was running his hand along the outside wall, letting his spiritual pressure run through the interior of the building as far as the barrier would allow. While at first Kaen had been impressed by the structure of the building, he was now looking for flaws, imperfections in the design.
Currently Kaen had found 3 imperfections, one on the north, and two on the east side of the building. They were small, too small to affect the transformation process of the hollows, but large enough for his purposes. Once returning to the front of the building Kaen entered, making sure to stay outside the barrier or the ring of pillars. AS an added protection he was also shielding his body with riatsu, keeping any foreign energy from reaching him.
Clasping his hands together, Kaen would lace his fingers together, building up his riatsu, super concentrating it in to his palms, before slamming them on the floor. A slam ring of light would encircle the pillars, creating faint symbols on the floor before fading away moments later. Using a single finger Kaen would draw a sign on the floor that would also fade away before a small ball of light would rise up from the ground, to float about a foot in the air.

From inside a pocket Kaen removed a small device that looked like a small handle with a button on the front and top. Grabbing the ball with his left hand Kaen would press it to the top of the device, pressing it inside so that the two buttons would glow for a moment before dimming off. Standing up Kaen looked around, making sure nothing was out of place before leaving the building quickly. Removing a glove from his pocket Kaen would open up a portal in space, leaving back tot eh human world.

(OK, just so nobody thinks their smart or something.... NOBODY, not even the Hollow King can sense what I just did. They may know I was there at one point, but will have no idea I tampered with anything.)
~Yumi note: Don't worry, we know. Shiori only senced his Raitsu, nothing more.

Another hollow transport hole would again open up in space as the figure of Kaen appear once again many hours after he had left the first time. "Damn it Kazei, I release enough spirit energy to draw the attention of every hollow in Karakura town, but you still don't respond." Shaking his head Kaen though back to the Menos Grande that had tried to kill him. ".... pathetic hollows. They are growing weaker with every generation." Pulling out the device from earlier Kaen smiled before tucking it away again. "... very well Kaen, Ill keep my gift to you for now..."

"My my, you're quite the impatient one, The boy you want is here, however you missed him, the girl though is approaching, perhaps you should wait here with me..." She giggled, her tone sweet enough to hive someone a cavity. The blond doll of a woman was perchec elegantly on the temple, one arm rasting on her knees, the other proping herself up. She assumed the boy would get defensive since she had just shown up suddenly but hopefully he would understand. Her outfit was a tall tale sign of Aizen, his espada had worn white outfits similar to hers.
The number on her hand was a strange indication aswell, however at this time she didn't seem threatening, in actuality it was hard for an opponent to take the adorable girl serious in battle, she just didn't seem like the type to be a fighter, let alone a Privaron... But she was there and cleary aware of Kaen.

Half an hour before...
Alonzo stopped in front of this temple, only thinking of this as a good place to retreat where he can pull his mask off and become an Arrancar. As he stepped into the strange circle that he sees, he settled in the middle of the circle and gripped the top of his mask and began pulling as hard as he could.
Normally, the enormous pressure he releases would be felt all the way to the Menos Forest. But this time was different. He cocooned himself in a human sized sphere of wind and as he continued pulling, he was surrounded by agield of reitsu. Sure he was grunting in pain as he continued this process, but when everything was said and done, with one final scream, he pulled the mask off with one final tug and dispelled the sphere of wind.
Far different from the Hollow before the ceremony, only the three feather like protrusions shaped like lightning bolts from his mask remained, a reminder of his previous life. Also in his hands was a large chinese broadsword (think one of Kyoraku's swords when he activateshis shikai) and what once was covered in armor, you could see his dark mocha colored skin and his long black hair that went to the middle of his back. Just in case, he brought some clothes he got from the forest of Menos. they were simple, black bagg pants and a white sleeveless shirt, but they were better than nothing.
Now...
Alonzo stepped out of the temple and stood in front of the temple, looking at Kaen, then Yukiko, then back at Kaen. His chinese broadsword has now condensed into a single bracer on his left arm and he was still in what humans would oncsider street clothes. Sighing, he then finally interjected into the soon to be beinning conversation.
"May I help you guys with anything?"
He said, without the usual gruff or rude tone he usually gave people. It seems that whatever that process was, it has cleared the young Arrancar's thoughts and allowed him clearer thinking.

Looking at the two Arrancar Kaen smiled slightly. Looking at Alonzo first Kaen spoke in a level tone. "Am I to be intimidated? I knew the moment you entered the temple and released your powers, you don't impress me." Looking up at the female Kaen shook his head. "As for you, cut the sweet tone with me. The last woman that tried to do that lost her tongue, and left arm, and that's only because I was generous." Sitting down against the side of the temple Kaen went in to a relaxed position, withdrawing a small knife that he used to clean his nails. "If you two must know, I sensed a couple of other ex-shinigame heading towards here, so I thought I would meet them."

 Entering the temple of Tethiala, Allegretto walked in scratching the side of his head before looking up to find an arrancar inside. Not just any arrancar. But the leader of the Privaron Espada. Apparently something was a mist, since someone of her caliber was hanging around these parts. They were supposedly Aizen's former ascended espada. The lower ranks that ascended to power once the original espada were defeated. Glancing over to the shinigami and Alonzo, Allegretto burst into laughter.
"C'mon man? Alonzo, honestly you're one of the strongest p***y wimps I've ever met man. Don't let that kind heart of yours embarrass the rest of us Espada."
He said in his generally hot headed tone. He was an outspoken type of guy who wouldn't hold anything back. As far as these guys went, he didn't know why the hell a shinigami was in Hueco Mundo in the first place. It's not like Ganga told them about any of this.
"Ah sometimes I wish I could beat the s**t outta that humungus geezer. Maybe I'll go see what's up with Renkin later. I dunno."
He said lazily closing his eyes in relaxation as dug his pinky around into his ear as if he were digging for gold.

She giggled again. Kaen only seemed to entertain her, his threat meant nothing. "Unfortunately for you that is how I am." Her voice was still sickly sweet, though it seemed a little more tolerable. "I am of no threat to you dear, I'm here for Akane Shiori. The red-haired ex-taicho." She chuckled and slid off the edge, landing on the ground between Kaen and Alonzo. She glanced at Alonzo, "No, a young one has no need to intimidate me." She curled a long strand of her hair and grinned.
Judging from her position and outfit she was affiliate with Aizen, most likely a direct connection, meaning Shiori had made some very good choices in who her friends were. When Allegretto approached she glanced up, her bright pink eyes locking on him, yet another Espada, she'd crossed a few in the recent time, killed some, most she just ignored. Approaching Allegretto she gave a sweet smile. "I have not seen you around for quite a while." While he would not remember her she remembered his face.

Cheshire's smile stretched profoundly in one of the shadowed areas. He was deviously expectantly waiting for whomever was to come. Amused, taking in the current atmosphere with a lick of his lips, his smile the only visible besides his ominous eyes, he kept his silence for the time being. The scents that drifted from his nose, the familiarity was an absolutely influx of his mouth-watering hunger that never seemed to sedate itself. Yukiko smelt as sweet as cake, as usual. Allegretto, much like a bird. Alonzo and the others, mixtured and muddied. No purebreeds like Yukiko. Yukiko had always been one of his favorite Higher-up Espadas. He appreciated her and her tastes. They matched quite nicely with his, sometimes. Or when eh bothered to participate.

Alonzo looked first at Kaen, the shinigami who said he had said he's meeting a couple of ex-shinigami. Since he saw those people back when he was Vasto Lordes not too long ago, he believed he had the best knowledge of their whereabouts.
"I saw those ex-shinigami you were talking. There was one guy and two women, they were speaking to Ganga not too long ago, the guy said he had other things to do, but the two women I believe are coming here."
He said as he then politely listened to Allegretto's comment. Honestly, Alonzo didn't know that guy from anywhere else before, even though Allegretto knew him from somewhere else. Maybe he was one of the many Arrancar Alonzo passed up as he went to get hs next meal.
"As for you, do I even know you? And why must you insist that my so called "kind heart" not embarass the other Espada? Does someone like me need to teach you some manners?"
He asked in a sort of confused tone.

Allegretto was tickled with laughter once more. He loved messing with these pitiful Espada. Truth was, Allegretto didn't know Alonzo himself. It was only common sense for each Esapda to be familiar with those within the ranks. Ganga would probably be heated to find his numero uno lacking common intelligence among even the lowest of adjuchas. Then again, Espada could always be repalced. Holding his stomach from laughter, he scratched his head before replying to Alonzo.
"Nope, a big guy like you wouldn't notice us weaklings right? Isn't that how it goes, hehe. Ah well, can't win'em all can ya." He sighed. "Guess ya gotta knock'em a down a pedestal or two before they get the point. Anyways I'll take you up on that offer anytime Alotso......erm...uh Aloni, what was his name again? Dammit I just said it too."
Scratching his head, he didn't bother figuring out the rest of the arrancar's name. With that he cracked his neck to the side and leaned back against the polished temple walls before glancing at the grinning Chesire who seemed to drool over the Privaron arrancar. For some reason big fat round purple cat popped into his head whenever he looked at that weird face. Perhaps it was from kid's cartoon that he experienced during child hood. Who knows.
"Hey you with the maniacal grin...What're you in heat or something? Just go ahead and let that privaron chick know what's up. Hell even I have to admit she's bad as hell. Wouldn't mind getting at her myself, but circumstance says nope. She's Privaron, we're Espada and I guess that's just how the cookie crumbles ya know.
He said now relaxed against the wall. He was a generally outspoken guy. The truth came out regardless of how it looked. He held nothing back and he wasn't one to beat around the bush either.

With a small sigh Kaen would place his head in his hands, rubbing his temples. "For the love of god..." Slamming his head back against the stone wall a loud thud would sound as cracks spider web out from the force of the impact. "... I thought it would be quiet here, yet you Hollows just can't shut up." Looking at nobody in particular Kaen thought out loud. "Where are the days where a warrior could sit in silence for hours on end, entertaining himself with his own thought? Between these weak hollows and the damn Shinigame, its no wonder I hate everybody."
