 This is a secret cove hidden beneath the Wastelands. Absolutely nobody knows about it, except for those who are brave enough to go to the edge of nowhere.
You will know you are here when you can feel the and beneath your feet turn to a glassy substance. Simply stomp down hard enough, with about 500 pounds of force, and you would drop straight through and into the many tunnels and caverns.
The simplest way to know you are in the right place is to search for a glowing, aqua-colored spring, perched right below an enormous array of crystals and multicolored diamonds jutting out from the wall. They seem to align in the shape of a large pair of wings...which are connected to a crystalized figure of a young man with dark violet hair and claws for hands... Does he look familiar?

 They say the world will incinerate in a blazing fire...
Others say it will freeze in a bitter storm of ice...Hisana Kurosaki
Lone Shinigami Captain
From Another Universe
The cave was beautiful, nature's own beautiful piece of artwork. It had been here ever since the very death of the Fourth Espada from 1000 years ago. Absolutely nobody but the deceased man has ever known about this place. It had remained undisturbed for centuries...until now.
The ceiling above a cave tunnel suddenly started to crack, as debris fell to the floor and a woman with long, bright red hair came crashing down, landing perfectly on her feet. She looked up through the hole, smiling and saying something to the others. Then there was a sudden loud scream...
"AAAAAAAHHH!!!!!" ...that blasted through the caves, as a young lady with long orange hair that covered her face fell down through the whole, and landed facedown on the rocky floor with a THUD!!!
"Made it..." Hisana Kurosaki, the shinigami in a beautiful white gown mumbled. The redhead, known as her zanpakuto, Megami no Zetsumei, just laughed and helped her over to a rock. "You could've shunpo'd off the walls and landed fine like I did." A nerve struck Hisana as she glared at Zetsumei.
"Well sorry that I'm not a gymnast!"
"You keep apologizing. In the mean time..." Zetsumei tugged lightly on Hisana's dress skirt as a Hell Butterfly came out from underneath; it landed on the zanpakuto spirit's finger as she whispered something low enough so her master couldn't hear... When finished, the butterfly flew up through the hole in the ceiling of the cave and back towards the Underground.
Hisana sighed and paced over to where she'd dropped down from, looking back up through it and shouting, "You coming Ringo?"
...They're all wrong.
We're already drowning in our own ocean of lies and destruction...
...We're all killing ourselves. ((Edited))

 Ⓤnofficial Ⓛieutenant of Ⓢquad Ⓕive
I was born for a reason...
Ringo fell through the hole, tumbling deeper into the gaping hole that reached out for him. His eyes widened as he neared the ground, his mind rushing through all the possible injuries he may receive from the harsh impact and the possible shattering of bones. Milliseconds before hitting the ground, his body emitted a soft layer of white and black swirling energy, halting him to a forceful stop as he opened his eyes. He was staring straight at the ground, which was only about an inch away from his nose. Ringo gulped as he touched the floor and stood back up, brushing the dust from his damp garments as the rain continued to pour in through the small opening above.
He looked around the cave, the glistening crystals, the amazing structures and the intricate carvings that made up the overall beauty of the cave. He looked around in pure wonder, as his mind instantly slipped into several flashbacks of his childhood...
The spirit world I had visited as a kid... This place reminds me of it...
He wondered to himself as his eyes met that of Hisana's. He smiled a weak grin as he approached her.
"I am here. Are you alright, Hisana-san?"
..."Then what is my purpose?"

Hisana suddenly jumped out of the way of a falling Ringo as she stared with dilated eyes at all the possibilities of his impact with the floor. Although, she sighed with extreme relief as he safely landed with the use of his Yin-Yang spiritual energy.
When he spoke, she smiled a little. "I'm fine, Maruyama-kun. Just a little scratch on m- my- my- ma- m- ACHOO!!!" She sneezed once before looking up with a shaky grin, tightly holding Ringo's coat around her shoulders. "Like I said... I'm fine..." With that, her pair of curious eyes gazed at the marveloud crystals all around the cave that brought a rainbow gleam to her emotions, suddenly illuminating her spirits.
Hisana gazed in utter amazement at what she was witnessing. "Holy crap... This place is amazing!" seeming to forget instantly that she was semi-sick. She smiled excitedly and scurried over to a glowing pool of sparkling water, kneeling down at the side and running her nimble, firm fingers through its surface, watching it ripple and glow in response to her action. She felt much more warmhearted now, like this place made her feel safe, secure...happy again...
A millisecond after touching the water's surface, something else started to shine brightly, breaking through the dark caves around her and the other two. Hisana stood up, opening her eyes to see a crystalized sculpture in the form of a young man, its face only inches away from hers.
She raised an eyebrow with a soft "Huh?"
...They're all wrong.
We're already drowning in our own ocean of lies and destruction...
...We're all killing ourselves.

Hisana heard Ringo ask her the question about the statue as she stared into the carved, maybe glazed eyes. It looked as if tiny pools of black water wee swirling around in them... She stepped back to get a better look at the entire thing, examining the hundreds of thousands of little crystals that stuck out from his back in two sets...unfolding into a large pair of wings. One clawed hand was wrapped around what looked like a zanpakuto, the other outstretched as if to take somebody's hand...
She immediately froze, unable to speak. Her knees shook, her pupils were small, her hands were colder than ice... She could finally recognize the man with the claws for hands and the spiky, dark violet hair.
"A riddle..." she whispered at first, staring at the inscription that had been carved into his crystalized chest. Hisana stepped closer once more, analyzing the lettering. At first, it said "Parallel my calling... ~Rise to Heaven~" in traditional Japanese calligraphy. But the other part said, "Mate to the Monster." She trembled for a moment, before placing her own hand in the outstretched crystal claws.
She hesitated once before stuttering the resurreccion release of her former admirer. "Fall to Hell, Kaibutsu ni...Chimumeito?" She nonchalantly turned her head back to look at Ringo. "That kinda sounds like a resurreccion call-" The claws suddenly folded in with quick force, wrapping around her own. She couldn't rip her own away from its grasp; she was somewhat trapped in it.
And then the entire sculpture started to shine blindingly, as a demonic monster's roar suddenly shook the entire cove. "W-what the?!" Hisana exclaimed, desperately struggling against the grasp to free herself.
...They're all wrong.
We're already drowning in our own ocean of lies and destruction...
...We're all killing ourselves.

As soon as Ringo came slashing at the crystalized figure with his zanpakuto, the hand was immediately sliced off, and the statue suddenly threw its head back, roaring in absolute pain...
Hisana screamed and shook off the severed hand, watching as it fell to the dirt floor and shattered. The roaring immediately stopped, as she was now meters away from the thing that had tried to trap her. She fearfully whispered, "Akuma... Satsujin...?" Her eyes squinted, trying to make out if it was truly the being she once knew as the heartless man who had once loved her. "Is that you-"
She was immediately cut off as the crystal head snapped into her vision, glaring its eyes... Hisana, it demanded, reaching out the arm in which the claw was sliced off of...and regenerating. The hand was once more there, and the wings were starting to pry themselves off the wall. Why have you reawakened me?
Hisana was completely terrified, suddenly clinging to Ringo from behind for dear life, clutching the hilt of her zanpakuto that rested on her back. "What do we think of that thing...?" she asked curiously. "Is it some kind of Hollow...or..." She shook her head, still clinging to Ringo.
...They're all wrong.
We're already drowning in our own ocean of lies and destruction...
...We're all killing ourselves.

The crystalized creature finally pried itself entirely from the wall of the cave, inching closer to them. Hisana shook in slight fear, a little scared he was going to do something bad to her... But then it stopped, meters away from them, wings fanned out... In a whirl, he was gone, now standing behind Hisana with his crystal hand resting on her shoulder.
Do you know his plan? he demanded from her. Do you know why Cero destroyed your home? Hisana suddenly yelped at the sound of his voice, whirling around to come face-to-face with the mobile statue.
"...Plan?" she asked confused. "Cero... You mean the monster who tried to kill me and my friends?" The statue nodded, hand on her shoulder tighter. Remembering Ringo was still there, he looked over her shoulder, nodding as if to say 'I won't hurt her.' "Of course I do," Hisana continued. "He needed a way to gain Aizen's trust in order to overthrow him... But why??? What does the Cero Espada want from Sosuke Aizen...?"
...They're all wrong.
We're already drowning in our own ocean of lies and destruction...
...We're all killing ourselves.

Both Hisana and the "Espada" looked over as Ringo asked him the question. The crystalized figure sighed, letting go of her, his voice becoming more..."alive." Hisana stood still, watching his movements as a large wing blocked her from stepping near. "Think about it," he commanded from Ringo. "What are the only two possible things he could want from overthrowing Aizen? The two most obvious choices he has to make..."
"I know." Hisana slid under his wing and stepped in-between the two, lightly pushing them apart. "Two things. The first and easiest to identify, Aizen's own position as leader of the Arrancar. And second..." She lowered her head, back-streaked bangs shrouding her normal gray eye. She gulped, sending a chill down her back as she shook in fear a little, clenching her fists to her heart...
She looked up to Akuma. "...He might want to extract the Hogyoku from Aizen. Create himself as a godly figure on top of all of us. With that stone... He can destroy everyone on the planet and cause the shinigami to cease to exist..." Hisana's breath was shaky, nervous. "Of course, that's just a theory..." She turned around to look at Akuma again, but remained silent, confused as he was out of her peripheral vision.
There was the sound of crystal scraping along the wall over the glowing multicolored pool; Akuma was repositioning himself at where he'd started. Before freezing once more, he looked to Ringo with an honest gaze... "I'm not the one who hurt her in Las Noches," he explained, "only the one who tried to help her. The Cero Espada did the most damage to her out of everybody else in there... But now that I am free, I cannot do anymore to her." He bowed his head, eyes glowing a darker shade as if they were closing, his clawed hands crossing over his chest... And he froze once more, all crystals reattached to the dirt floors and walls.
Hisana stared in sorrow as he once more disappeared from her life, realizing that was the last chance she ever had to tell him... She lightly crossed her arms over her own chest, head hanging low, the long copper hair covering her eyes. Tears began to fall to the floor beneath her bare feet. "I'll never see him again..." she whispered regretfully. "...Why do I feel so-" The true answer hit her; the reason Akuma was dead...was because of the damned Espada who had nearly tortured her to death in Las Noches. Her eyes suddenly burned with fury, her fists clenched tight...
With a flick of the wrist, there was an energy ball made of cero energy that took out an entire wall of the cave, as she shouted... "DAMN YOU CERO!!! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE FOR DESTROYING EVERYTHING I CARED ABOUT!!!" ...Technically, he had failed to destroy only one thing she cared about; and even though her scream was a lie, she knew he couldn't destroy the one thing she cared for out of everything in this world... She loved Ringo, and that was all that mattered.
Although, she could remember what he had said that one night. Killing the redheaded boy is now a priority of mine... ...Was he still going to do so???
...They're all wrong.
We're already drowning in our own ocean of lies and destruction...
...We're all killing ourselves.

Hisana heard Ringo ask her the question, and her emotions suddenly hardened; she wanted nothing but pure revenge now. Though in the boy's presence, she softened a little, slowly turning to him. "...Him," she intoned, referring to the Cero Espada. "He took everything from us. But not just that..." She slowly put a hand to her face, sighing before looking directly into his emerald green eye. "I can't believe I'm about to tell you this...
"In the universe I'm from, Ichigo Kurosaki is the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 14. Because I'm his daughter and Byakuya Kuchiki's niece, I'm the Captain of Squad Zero, a recent addition to the squads." She shook her head. "Sorry, reminiscing. But the thing is... If Ichigo had won against Aizen, Rukia Kuchiki would be the one dead. Where I'm from, she is the Cero 'Espada.' Or Fantasma, as we call it." Her eyes half-closed for a moment, as her bare feet slowly, yet hesitantly, inched closer to him. "Because of me... My own mother died and turned against us all. I felt so alone for so many years, thinking she'd abandoned us because I was such a burden..."
Her icy lips parted, exhaling a shaky breath as a tear or two started to stream down her face...
...They're all wrong.
We're already drowning in our own ocean of lies and destruction...
...We're all killing ourselves.
