Chapter 1 - Revival

The fierce battle above the las noches resulted in Ulquiorra's death. That was what he thought.

Ulquiorra was lying down on the ground in the middle of the grassland. He was conscious but he didn't have the strength to move his body.

'Did Kurosaki spare me?'

'If so, then why would he do that?'

'Is this related to what they called heart?'

He have many questions regarding the thing they called heart and what will happened to him now. He also didn't know how long have passed since the battle at las noches. He could only gaze at the starry sky above him.

Ulquiorra felt someone coming toward his direction. He wanted to lift up his head but he didn't have the strength to do.

"Ahhh!! Who are you? Why are you here? You have a hole in your ċhėst!!," A feminine voice came out from the figure in beside him.

Ulquiorra couldn't open his eyes nor his mouth but he guess that the figure in front of him was a woman. He doesn't remember anyone who have this kind of voice even with his super memory. He guess that some mortal found him here in the grassland.

'Is it a human?' Ulquiorra thought. He wanted to looked at the woman but he couldn't do it no matter what he do as he doesn't have the strength to do so.

"Whoa!! What is this?! Is this a bone?!" The woman said as she reached her hands to touch the bone on his head, but something happened that shocked the woman. As soon as the tip of her fingers touches the bone, the bone slowly crumbled into dust. The dust slowly faded in the air.

"Ahhh!!" The woman screamed as she saw him slowly turned into ashes.

"What should I do?" The woman said with a hint of panic in her voice.

"I know!!" An idea came to her mind. "You better listen to me from now on."

Although Ulquiorra couldn't move he could still hear and sense what the woman was doing.

The woman took out something. It looks like a ċhėst piece, no it was a pawn piece. She placed it above his ċhėst and said, "I, One of the four Demon King, Serafall Leviathan, will revive you as a devil and be my pawn serving me for the rest of your life."

'Revive? This person is reviving me?' Ulquiorra thought. The ċhėst piece slowly entered his body. The moment it entered his body he felt an unknown energy repairing his crumbling body. Unexpectedly the spiritual energy in his body started to move and repell the ċhėst piece.

"Ahh?! One pawn is not enough!!" Serafall exclaimed when she saw that the chess piece got repell. She frown and took out another piece.

After that Ulquiorra loose his consciousness. He didn't know what happened after that.

...

"Oooh!!" Serafall wipe out the sweat forming in her forehead.

"It took all of my pawn pieces and a queen piece for me to revive you, this is unprecedented" She said while looking at Ulquiorra.

"Well~ I unexpectedly got a peerage. I guess I should take him back to my house" She said before she cast a teleportation magic.

A bright light envelope her and Ulquiorra. When the white light disappear both of them was gone.

...

Ulquiorra opened his eyes and found himself in unfamiliar room, lying down comfortably in a soft bed.

"What exactly happened?" He muttered as he sat on the bed. He looked at his arm and examined his body. Everything looks normal except the unknown energy he could feel inside his body. The unknown energy seems different than the spiritual energy he used. He could also feel this energy in the surrounding area.

"I remember that a person revive me using an unknown object." Ulquiorra said in a low voice as he touched his ċhėst and felt the ċhėst piece emitting an energy inside his body.

He stood up and found a mirror. He looked at his own reflection in the mirror.

He still looked the same as before. Slender, yet fairly muscular body. He has a short messy black hair, pale white skin, black upper lip, and his green eyes with a slit shaped pupils. Part of his bangs falls between his eyes and he has a tear line which descend from the lower part of his eyes. He's wearing a typical arrancer clothes, white jacket with a longer coattails, black sash, and white hakama. But the hollow mask lied on the left side at the top of his head forming a broken horn helmet was now gone. His hollow hole was still there at the based of his throat and it was covered by his arrancar clothes.

Ulquiorra felt that the loss of his mask was because of the unknown energy that somehow transform his body like this.

'Hmm? It's still here.' Ulquiorra looked at his waist and saw his sword. He gently put his hand at the handle of his sword.

He heard the door opened. He turned his head and saw a beautiful girl in pink clothes, her hair was tied in a twin ponytails. She was holding a strange wand in her right hand.

In just a glance Ulquiorra felt an a tremendous amount of unknown energy inside this girl similar to the energy he felt in his body.

Similar to him the girl was observing him too.

Ulquiorra looked at her deeply before he opened his mouth, "Where am I?"

"Ah!! This? Your currently in the underworld." Serafall replied to him.

"Underworld? Hell?" Ulquiorra remember that there's a place called hell. According to what he heard that place was a very violent place and all the creatures there suffered for eternal. No one can leave hell because of the chain of hell. Once your bound by it one can never remove it.

"No, this place is Underworld not Hell. Hades is the one that rule the Hell and The four Demon Kings are the one in Underworld." Serafall corrected him.

'Hades? Demon King?' Ulquiorra looked at her deeply. It seems that his knowledge about hell is insufficient.

"Then, I'm going to introduced myself first. I'm your master, One of the four Demon Kings, Serafall Leviathan, you may also call me Magical girl Levi-tan and from now on you will become my sidekick." Serafall introduced herself while doing a strange pose.

Ulquiorra's expression didn't change looking at her. He just replied to her, "I am the 4th Espada, Ulquiorra Schiffer, an Arrancar."

That is the first time that I and a demon named Serafall met and becoming her sidekick.
