Reactions - Bleach

The darkness recedes, giving way to a dim gray light. Seventy figures materialize in an endless hall with smooth walls of an unknown metal. Some jump to their feet, clutching their swords, others freeze, assessing the situation. Genryūsai Yamamoto slowly opens his eyes, his brow furrowing. "Another illusion?" Zaraki growls, slamming his fist into the wall. The blow resounds dully, but leaves not a scratch on the surface. Grimmjow grins, also lunging forward, but his claws slide helplessly along an invisible boundary. "What the hell..." Ichigo mutters, looking around. Renji grabs Zabimaru, and Byakuya remains impenetrably calm, his fingers only lightly clutching his silk scarf. Rukia frowns, clutching the hilt of Sode no Shirayuki, while Ulquiorra stands motionless, his green eyes coldly scanning the space. Mayuri giggles, pulling out strange instruments, but they immediately go dark. Nelliel, in her child form, hides behind Ichigo, and Tier Harribel looks down on everyone. A giant screen appears in the center of the room, illuminating their faces with a ghostly glow. Alien worlds, unfamiliar faces, battles no one here has ever heard of flicker across it. Aizen smiles mysteriously, crossing his arms. Yhwach sits on a throne of shadows. Kyoraku leans back in an invisible chair, sipping sake. Yoruichi transforms into a cat and back again, testing the boundaries. "We're being shown something... but why?" Orihime whispers, clasping her hands. Uryū adjusts his glasses, and Haschwalth stands silent. Urahara hides his face under his striped hat, but his shoulders are tense. A heavy silence hangs over the room, broken only by the rustling of clothes, Zaraki's growl, and the low hum of the screen, which has just begun its eternal show for the captives.
