Road to Ruin

Chapter 35: The Sun Sets

A/N: 😭 I'm not crying you are! At last, we've reached the end of this fanfic. I'm so very grateful for everyone's support during the time of posting, it made my days to know you were all having as much fun as I did while writing. Thanks for all your votes, comments and Tumblr asks. They mean the world to me. To commemorate the event I've made a playlist for the fic on Spotify with all the songs I used to write the story. Just search Road to Ruin there if you want to give it a listen. I hope you all enjoy. For those who liked this story and want to read the sequel, I ask you to take a look at ' Road to Redemption' which continues the story but this time from the point of view of Ulquiorra and Orihime. This chapter hints at events of Redemptions beginning 

Unfortunately, I'm not sure of when I'll be able to continue Road to Redemption as there's literally a storm nearing Puerto Rico and I don't know how much damage that may cause. If it messes with the electricity too much I won't be able to post. So I'll ask for your patience in that regard, as I won't be active here or any of my other social media platforms. As always, I hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading! 🤗😋

Chapter 35: The Sun Sets

"We will now pass sentence!" The new Central 46 wasn't much different from the one he slaughtered. The new members were almost as ancient as the head captain, and none of them were Rukon born. 'Typical. Choosing rich men with nothing against him and no reason to contradict him. For a god, he's very interested in copying corrupt human governments.  

"Former Captain of Squad 5, Aizen Sosuke. We sentence you to the lowest level of the underground prison; Muken, where you will remain for 18,800 years!"

Ha, them condemning him? That was awfully funny. The only reason they were so cocky was because of the seal. Had he been free, he would've killed them all with a look.

Sosuke laughed. "I see. The likes of you, passing judgment on me? It strikes me as a bit comical."

Mere words were enough to send the old bastards into a frenzy. He could feel they're rage from where he was seated and relished on it. 'Always so easy to control.'

"Traitor, pushing your luck just because you're immortal!"

"Restrain him and increase his sentence to 20,000 years!"

That was their weapon? A larger sentence? He wasn't planning on serving it, not one year. For now, however, it was best he didn't let them know.

Deceit was still his best weapon.

***
There were plenty of moments where Jeanne had resented Sosuke. Sometimes because of the way he acted others just out of jealousy. Still, she would have given anything for him to have won.

Nobody needed to tell her, she had secret monitors installed around the fake Karakura town. The shinigami spoke of their victory, meaning he had lost. Three days had passed since then, and she was still struggling. Emilou, Mila Rose and Cyan's burns were slightly better, but they were still in a critical state. Halibel's wounds were also proving to be a challenge. Not to mention the deteriorating mental state of Loly.

"Oi, Nurse. Ulquiorra sent a message, he's coming here with the princesa." Nnoitra yelled from the hall. The Espada had made a swift recovery, as had his fraccion. Counting Gantenbainne and Menoly those were four healthy arrancars.

"If Cuarta is alive and returning with Orihime-san maybe the girls will be saved!"

"Heh, you're in a better mood. It would be awfully sad if the only ones left here are a bunch of men and the bitchy girls."
