2 Chapter 2

Looking at my Status Panel that finally had something to look at. Dave felt happy and excited. 

He then came towards the cave wall as he balled up his fist and punched it towards it.

*BANG!*

Dave's fist punctured the rock walls and felt the resistance and pain in his fist, maybe this is not the right thing to do to gouge his strength, nonetheless, Dave was excited and began inspecting his fist and the punctured wall. His illusion of strength was true after all.

He now has the confidence to at least survive inside this Dungeon. I mean, in his memory, the Adventurer in anime couldn't do this kind of thing at their start of adventure but can survive and kill Goblins, etc. Those basic low-level monsters.

1% of Ulquiorra's power is no joke! In his base form, he can decimate buildings(most likely) and catch Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshou with his bare hands in Ichigo's Bankai Form (which is stronger than when he fought Grimmjow's "Resurreccion" because of Zenkai Boost).

Dave couldn't help but think of when he had at least 10% strength of Ulquiorra. Can he decimate walls or fire Cero left and right. Fast movements and fly up the sky… Wait… Yes, Flight!

Dave began to focus on himself as he felt one of the racial abilities of Ulquiorra. 

As he thought of this, Dave began to feel the illusion of the air lifting him up. Dave began to levitate up the ground, making him truly fly.

Dave opened one of his eyes as he peeked under him and saw the ground a little farther than normal humans can see and thought.

'I'm flying!'

He then began experimenting with his ability to fly. Sometimes crashing towards the wall if he speeds up. Until he can stably control his flight ability.

Landing on the ground. Dave thought.

'Since I am an Espada. Did I have their trait too?'

He then began inspecting himself and opening his jacket for him to inspect his chest.

He touched and saw that there's no hole in his chest.

'Nice, No Extra Hole!'

He then adjusted himself and began picking up his paces and thought.

'It's time to start clearing this Dungeon.'

He began picking up his paces until he began running, so fast that normal Humans can only see Blur, until Dave began to look like he was teleporting.

The Cave he was in was a multi tunnel Cave with many routes to go at.

Dave's running speed didn't hinder his eyesight as he felt like he could see everything whenever he passed by.

Dave stopped running when he heard some movements and began running in that direction.

He stopped and began walking carefully to not disturb and alarm whoever making that sound was.

*Creak- Creak-*

A creaking sound was heard as if someone were stomping and crushing stones under his feet.

He then stopped at a section of a cave where someone could not see him and peeked to his right. 

What he saw was a weird shape humanoid creature with unproportional weird and thin muscular arms and legs, a hole on its chest, and a weird mask that looked like Majora's Mask in Legend of Zelda.

Dave was stunned as he saw this creature.

'Isn't this a Hollow? What now, I'm in Bleach? I mean considering I have Ulquiorra's Template… But damn, Hollow looks ugly.'

He continued observing the Hollow but then, the Hollow that was looking absentmindedly and walking around suddenly turned around and looked in Dave's direction.

Its glowing red eyes send chills down the spine of Dave.

It roared loudly, which was further amplified by the close space he was in right now, which is a cave.

It began charging at Dave at a fast speed. Dave was shocked by this monstrosity and began to panic. A fist was thrown at him which he blocked with his Katana amidst his panicked mind.

Dave flew and hit the wall of the cave. 

Dave coughs as he felt pain in his back and arm, "Sh*t! Why did I F*cking block it with my Katana! That's a bad move!"

Even though Dave has Ulquiorra's power, he only has 1% of it and his power is not controlled yet. If Ulquiorra was here and not Dave, even with 1%, Ulquiorra can kill this Hollow with ease.

Dave only blocks it with his Katana because of his Master Swordsman Skills, but his strength is not up to standard to block the full power attack of a Hollow. 

'Calm down Dave, you can do this.'

"Sh*t, this Hollow is more powerful than the standard Hollow in Bleach. Just how hard it is to clear this Dungeon."

Breathing in and out to calm his mind. Dave then grasps his sword with his right hand and puts down his left hand. This is the stance he learned from the skills he got. 

The Majora's Hollow then began to charge again as its fist began enlarging in Dave's view. With ease, Dave dodged it as he then hacked down towards the arm, cutting it easily.

Dave then jumped out as he looked at the pain hollow and smirked as he thought, 'The Defense is weak. I can easily cut it apart.'

Dave's smirking face disappeared, as he looked at the red particles getting absorbed to a ball size sun in the Majora's Hollow face and began palling in fright.

"T-That's Cero! Sh*t!"

Dave then disappeared in his previous place as a Cero Bombarded it.

A blast was made in it and a large hole was left. Majora's Hollow Cero easily blasted the rock and made a hole.

Dave looked at his previous place in horror as he imagined him getting shot by a Cero and thought, 'I have to finish this fast!'

He then began charging and teleported to the Majora's Hollie's back and slash its neck. 

A cut was made but it's shallow and can't kill the Majora's Hollow. Dave didn't kill Majora's Hollow in one strike but he didn't panic as he thought, 'I'm just gonna strike it harder the second time.' but his thought was cut short as a red beam began traveling in his place and Dave didn't dare to block it as he used Sonìdo and disappeared.

If he got hit by its Cero, stop thinking about a second attack, he might not have walked alive under that Cero.

A second blast was heard in the Cave as Dave didn't let the Majora's Hollow rest and used his Sonìdo to appear at the neck of the Hollow and slash it.

For the second Slash, Dave finally beheaded Majora's Hollow.

It struggled but then lost its life. Its body began to disappear as a transparent thing, which he thought to be a soul, flew towards him and disappeared on his body. 

[Ding! + 0.1%]

A slight increase of strength and warm current rotate on his body as Dave leans towards the Wall. 

Up until the start when he was peeking towards the Hollow, only 2 minutes had passed, but it felt like an eternity to Dave.

Dave then began hearing footsteps as he was pale in fright. He began running and left the area.

After some time ago, the ruins of the battle. 9 Hollows the same strength the Majora's Mask appeared as they began observing the surrounding, seeing nobody but only the crack and hole in the cave.

They then dispersed as they did what they daily do, eating the Crystal on the Walls.

As Dave began practically running and using his Sonìdo to maximum speed, he never thought he would achieve under normal circumstances.

He then began to feel relaxed as he felt no movement whatsoever and began to feel the exhaustion of using Sonìdo multiple times.

He then leaned towards the wall and for the last time before he fell asleep, he thought.

Next Day…

Dave woke up kissing the ground.

His bad habits in sleeping manifested as he woke up, his face facing the ground and inevitably kissed the dirt from time to time.

Cleaning his lips from the accumulated dirt, Dave got up on the ground and began accessing his body.

His back pain was now gone, and his body was filled with vitality.

Stretching his waist, Dave began exploring the Dungeon for the second time. 

His first start was embarrassing since he could have killed it easily but he was dumbstruck in the face of it. Even though he suffered a blow, a sleep could heal it back to normal.

Ulquiorra's Hyper Regeneration powers were not for looks only, even 1% percent can make a crippled man back to full health in a matter of one week, lest Dave's back pain.

He then again met a Hollow with a goat skull mask, but this time, he didn't dally and for 20 seconds of observing, and another 10 seconds of clashing, Dave won beautifully.

He can end it faster but the time of observation was rather short since he might be discovered like the Majora's Hollow he fought yesterday.

With experience, Dave began exploring the Dungeon with greater ease.
