30 The start of a Genocide (1/2)

[Dreamscape]

Solo was walking in a place that it wasn't familiar with him, he was clueless about where he was walking, the place was a forest where the trees were 4 times bigger than the trees he seen while walking with Luka and Alice, he was even dressing in a different clothes.

Instead of his usual white uniform, he was dressing a long coat with some decorations, but there was something special of him right now.

He wasn't an arrancar anymore, he was a normal soul, he didn't felt anymore his powers or his hollow hole, there wasn't nothing, not even the chain normal souls should have.

He himself didn't knew where he was going, until he found some monsters he never seen, some were tarantula girls, others were red slimes, and others were harpies, ape girls, orc girls, and other types of monsters, but no one noticed him.

This confirmed him that it was a vision about himself before he entered the living world in Earth, then he felt something strange and in front of him appeared a purple portal.

Solo: 'Is… Is this Tartarus…? Then…'

His thoughts were interrupted when he felt something strange over him and looked to see something shining and falling towards the portal, his eyes widened and entered the portal before that thing hit him.

Then an enormous explosion was created, which killed all the monster girls nearby, while the space inside Tartarus distorted, and took him in the familiar place called Dangai, where he found a hole that was emitting light and entered in.

Then he woke up from his vision, and looked around to see Luka and Alice already woken up and making breakfast.

Luka: Good morning Solo.

Solo: Good morning guys…

Alice: Mh? What happened?

Alice noticed a strange tone in Solo's voice, and asked.

Solo: I dreamed about a part of my life before becoming an hollow…

Luka: Oh? How it was?

Solo: Just found out that I was almost nuked…

Luka/Alice: ...Eh?

[Later]

After a short walk, the trio arrived at the village, it was lifeless, Solo and Alice sensed that almost everyone were closed in their houses.

Luka: This is the Witch Hunt Village?

Solo: It's written here…

Luka and Alice followed Solo's direction and indeed found a signboard in which was written 'Witch Hunt Village'.

Luka: Tsk… Unforgivable!

Alice: ...Well, what are you going to do? To begin with, are you even capable of doing anything here?

Luka: For now, I want to meet the Lord and tell her to stop.

Alice: ...Are you an idiot? Do you think she would just say 'Oh, ok' or something?

Solo: Plan K it is…

Luka/Alice: Plan K?

Solo: Kill.

Luka: ...Eh? W-wait a minute, Solo!

Solo was walking inside the village, and met with a woman, who had a panicked look.

Woman: Are you a traveler? You must not enter this village. That silver-haired woman will be quickly caught. But it isn't just women accused of being witches… A young boy like you and the one behind you would be caught just as fast!

Solo: ...Thank you, miss. But you don't need to worry…

When he was finishing talking, two guards came from behind them and said.

Soldiers: Travelers! Don't move! I need to inspect you first./Peasant! What are you saying to these travelers? Are you a witch!?

Woman: Th… They were just…

Solo: We asked directions, we are new here and wanted to know a bit more about this town's places and specialties.
