And so they were on the brink of elimination. The Quincy God overpowered them all. Both the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo were in chaos. What were they to do at this point? Nobody knew. Everything seemed like it would come to an end. Even Kurosaki was not strong enough to save them at this point.

Back at a moment of peace in the Urahara candy shop, Yoruichi gathered the remaining few who were not in the midst of battle: Renji, Ichigo, Chad, Inoue, Rukia, Byakuya, Matsumoto, Kyoraku, Ukitake, Nanao, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Kenpachi, Yachiru, and Ishida.

Yoruichi: "I found something interesting and wanted to tell you all by gathering you guys here… it's a desperate call but we're in need of immense assistance"

Ichigo: "What is it? Will it help us defeat the Quincy God?!"

Yoruichi: "Calm down… this is the last resort and it took me forever to find a communicator… I don't even know if it'll be her…"

Ichigo:"What? What...who are you talking about?"

Out walks from the back of the shop a tall red-haired woman with the same body type as Yoruichi, hair up in a ponytail with spiky edges.

Renji, awed asked: "Who is that?"

Yoruichi: "A Quincy, her name is Viansa, who has connections to her."

Ichigo: "Who is this her you keep talking about? Why is a Quincy here? I don't trust her! What if she's one of them and is tricking us to think she's helping us?"

Viansa: "Shut your mouth peasant. Don't ever compare me to those fake German Quincies ever again. Even if I don't mind teaming up with your enemy to kill you off I would never join their pathetic force."

Ishida: "German Quincies? What are you talking about? Is there a difference?"

Viansa: "I suppose you wouldn't know since you're a dropout from even the most pathetic group of people to ever live."

Ishida gulped and stepped back. Her glare was demonic like she could kill him before he could even blink. The thing is… she could.

Yoruichi: "ENOUGH. Stop harassing her, I had to go thru enough trouble to just to convince her to even come here let alone doing all I could to get to into a mindset of helping us find her. Viansa, my apologies. Please, you have to help us."

Viansa: "Fine. Come with me."

At that moment a rift opening up, not like the one that leads to the Soul Society or the one that leads to the Hueco Mundo but a rift that was so bright, brighter than the one that led to Soul Society it could be blind a human, colors distorted around the edges as if the rift could do permanent damage to the space-time dimension if let there for too long.

Renji: "What...where does this lead to…"

Yoruichi: "Just shut up and follow…"

They all followed Viansa thru the rift. Again, unlike the one that leads to the Soul Society or Hueco Mundo, they arrived that their desired destination in an instant.

Rukia: "Where...where are we?"

Viansa: "The north of Russia… where she told me she was resting…"

Ichigo: "Again, WHO are we talking about? It's so cold here…"

Viansa pointed into the distance… slowly thru the fog they saw an edge of a cliff with a figure standing on the tip, looking out into the horizon of a massive ice valley. Viansa kneeled to one knee, surprising the others.

Viansa: "Forgive me, Your Highness to disturb your peace, but these Shinigamis claimed they desperately need your aid."

Mysterious Figure: "Please...don't bow"

Viansa slowly got up, but kept her head lowered.

Mysterious Figure: "Shinigamis….after all these years after banishing me, you come back for my help with your tail between your legs… how pathetic…"

She emerged slowly from the mist and was soon able to be seen clearly. A tall, even taller than Viansa, curvy woman with long black hair, bangs parted on the side with fierce violet eyes that had a look of violence. She grinned, a grin that neither made her look happy or evil, but a grin that made her seemed pleased with herself as if she was thinking of some inside joke. She was wearing a black tube-top with a leather black jacket, short sleeved, black shorts and black high knee boots in below 0 degree weather. She didn't seem concerned with the coldness at all. When Byakuya saw her, he gasped and look as if he's looking at a ghost. He lunged himself at her, making Rukia and Ichigo's eyes widen.

Mysterious Woman: "Hmmm….?"

Byakuya: "I've missed you…." he said as he hugged her…"I thought you were dead…"

She pushed him off.

Mysterious Woman: "What do you think you're doing…."

Byakuya: "What..I...Tsukia...it's me…"

Tsukia grinned that grin again: "I know very well who you are….and I'm asking...what do you think you're doing?"

Viansa got angered with his actions and in a flash she had a bow and arrow pointed at Byakuya standing there, looking appalled.

Viansa: "Yes, what DO you think you're doing….casually putting your hands on her so easily"

Byakuya: "I...I thought…"

Rukia and Ichigo had never seen Byakuya so disturbed with emotion before, they were shocked...as was Renji.

Ichigo: "Byakuya…" he said slowly…"who is that?"

Byakuya, after a minute to catch his breath, he said in short of breath: "Tsukia….Akiko-Arisu….a woman.. I was once betrothed to…" Everyone's eyes nearly widened then stared at the strange woman in front of them.

Shunsui: "It's been awhile hasn't it...Tsukia-chan…"

Tsukia grinned: "I think you two…" she looked in Shunsui and Ukitake's direction "are probably the only ones worth my attention.

Ukitake: "Well my my aren't we lucky" he said nonchalantly and smiled his kindness towards her.

Tsukia perked up, her grin turned to an actual grin and moved to hug Ukitake. Ichigo was startled.

"She passed me so quickly...I couldn't even sense her moving past behind me.." he thought...he looked around him, looks like others were thinking the same thing.

Tsukia: "Ukitake…" she said as she pulled away…

Ukitake: "Hmmm?..."

Tsukia closed her eyes and moved her palm towards Ukitake's heart. Her hand glowed yellow and Ukitake gasped. When the light disappeared Ukitake stared at her.

Ukitake: "You…."

Tsukia smiled at him: "Feel better now?"

Ukitake's face gleamed like he was given a rebirth: "I...I feel so revitalized…."

Tsukia: "It took a while...sorry...but I keep my promises dear..it'll pain me for the rest of my life if I couldn't heal some silly sickness…"

Shunsui: "That silly sickness couldn't be healed by any healer throughout the last hundred years of Soul Society… not even Unohana was able to make him feel any better...how….?"

Tsukia: "You'd be surprised Shunsui...of how much stronger I am now….compared to the last time you saw me" She had that grin again.

Shunsui also grinned: "I don't doubt that…."

Tsukia: "Enough recollection….what is it you Shinigamis come before me today?"

Ichigo: "QUINCIES...they destroyed Soul Society!"

Tsukia: "You're so loud...what is it that you want me to do…"

Ichigo: "DEFEAT THEM OF COURSE!"

Tsukia paused...and looked at him and replied: "I don't want to."

Ichigo: "What? WHY? Isn't the Soul Society you're home?! Where you grew up in?!"

Tsukia looked at him coldly: "It might have been where I grew up...but I have never considered Soul Society my home...even if at the age of 15 I was brought up luxuriously in the Kuchiki manor, I wasn't able to be myself...the Soul Society… kept me from being me… and in the end… I was thrown away like trash after saving their asses."

Ichigo: "What are you talking about?! It doesn't concern JUST the Soul Society, they're going to go on the kill every human in the world, they've already infiltrated the Hueco Mundo also and captured …."

Tsukia gave him a death glare: "Well then...you should've just started out with that instead…"

Ichigo: "What…"

Without hesitation Tsukia opened up a garganta in front of them, put a spirit pressure disc under all of them and flew them incredibly fast into the abyss. Ichigo wasn't the only one shocked by her sudden actions.

Viansa: "Tsukia-sama...why are you more concerned with Hueco Mundo than Soul Society….?"

Tsukia: "You'll see… I didn't know know those fake Quincies have already gotten this far… I took too much pleasure in resting my powers, my mistake...I'll make sure they pay if they touched any one of them…"

Viansa stared at her and decided not to speak, but watch what she was going to do… When they entered the Hueco Mundo Tsukia moved the disc away from Las Noches.
