A/N: I didn't think my story was that bad and so I was wondering why I hadn't gotten any reviews. I looked back on it and realized it was probably because all of the tense switching mistakes and stuff make me look illiterate. That happened because originally this was written in Ichigo/Ishida's perspective and when I changed it, I missed a lot of things. So here is the first chapter, fixed. I promise the rest are already good to go. Review!

Hello and Welcome to "Lost and Found" or its full title "Lost and Found: A Saga of Action, Romance and Angst." Our introducer/concluder/disclaimer sayer will be Grimmjow.

Grimmjow: Damn righ'!

Szayel: Me too? I'm important!

GG: Okay. And Szayel, just cuz I love you guys. *Hugs*

Grimmjow: Alrigh' now, ya numbskulls out there, time fer ya tah realize tha'-

Szayel: Grimmi Grantz did not, does not, ad will not ever own Bleach. If she did, she would not be Grimmi Grantz, she would be Tite Kubo-sama. Which would be fun because then she could give me more time on screen and maybe a better lab with all her money and-

Grimmjow: The poin' is, the author don't own nothin. She ain't makin' money off o' this either. The end.

Kurotsuchi: Finally...

Grimmjow: *hits Kurotsuchi over the head with a brick* No one likes yah!

Ichigo and Uryu raced through the halls of Las Noches, trying to take down or avoid being killed by Szayel's fraccion while simultaneously searching for Orihime to spring her free. Ichigo was panting hard and stomping through each turn while Ishida lightly but quickly padded through them, a few beads of sweat collecting on his forehead. Uryu turned to Ichigo, an annoyed expression on his face.

"Kurosaki! You wouldn't happen to have any idea where we're going would you?"

Ichigo grinned wickedly. "Not at all,"

As another turn came up, the hallway narrowing to the point that it was almost invisible, Ishida grabbed Ichigo tightly on the wrist and pulled him around the sharp corner. They stumbled into a large, open space. Ichigo once again began to grin.

'Dammit. My wrist hurts.' Ichigo complained to himself. His grin didn't fade.

They had found another "indoor arena" as Ichigo liked to call them, like the one Chad and he fought in earlier. That meant that he could finally let loose and take out those goons that Szayel set on Ishida and him. He was looking forward to it too, maybe too much, and although they looked pretty easy to defeat, he figured it would still be fun. He glanced over at Ishida and their eyes met. With a simple nod, the battle had begun and they were both going at their enemies. Ichigo slashed rabidly through a line of Szayel's fraccion, enjoying their yells and screams as they felt the tough metal of his blade.

'Kurosaki can be an idiot sometimes. The way he rages into battle with no plan, no control, no finesse... he's going to get himself killed...again, considering he's been close enough to death to give it a friendly handshake more times than every other person I know combined, because he relies mostly on brute force.' Uryu scolded in his mind.

He raised his Ginrei Kojaku and barely cared to take aim due to the wall of fraccion around him. Ishida knew that no matter where he shot, he was bound to hit something. As deviant from the group charged him suddenly, he fired three arrows in a line starting from its left shoulder going down and it crumpled to the floor. A few others came at him head on, no problem for him.

'I just raise, aim, and fire, simple stuff.' he smirked inwardly.

He grew tired of that game, so he shot off a volley of arrows and listened to the pained cries that filled the air as enemy after enemy sunk to the ground.

Ichigo and Uryu relentlessly took down Szayel's minions. Each one took only a slice or a few arrows. However, after destroying all of them effortlessly, they found a challenge when a single, huge fraccion emerged from the darkness. His Hollow mask remnant lie on his neck, running just under his face with a single tiny spike up his chin.

"I'm Hammer. I'm think you...need to die," he said.

Unexpectedly, he swung his right hand around and slammed Ichigo into a far wall. Ichigo slid a few feet towards the ground motionless, his body stopped from falling by the lip of the crates behind him. Uryu knew Ichigo would be fine so he used his Hirenkyaku to dash to the giant's face, preparing to attack.

"You lose," he said simply, releasing an arrow right into it.

Hammer fell flat on his back, creating a loud thud and shaking the ground hard enough to peel Ichigo off the wall. Ishida sauntered over to Ichigo with a smug look on his face.

"And that maniac Szayel thought that would be a challenge," he muttered to Ichigo.

"Yeah, I guess that guy isn't as smart as-"

Ichigo was interrupted by his jaw dropping. The huge fraccion stood back up and brushed himself off like he'd been pushed down in the sandbox instead of shot head on by a Quincy. After getting over the initial shock, Ichigo realized this was his chance to get in on the battle. He ran at the giant as fast as his legs would take him.

"Ban...kai!" he yelled, flash stepping away to the giant.

Landing in front of Hammer, Ichigo stood still for a moment to utter the last part of the full phrase.

"Tensa Zangetsu."

Ichigo jumped high into the air and crashed his blade down into Hammer's right arm. Hammer prepared to retaliate, his fist taking on the shape of the hammer he was named for, but Ichigo flash stepped away as the blow came toward him. He immediately saw an opening.

"Too slow," he grinned.

Flying through the air and swinging his blade back as he passed Hammer, Ichigo created a long gash in the giant's side that spurted blood, covering the floor. Hammer staggered back.

But it made no sense. Ichigo knew full well that slice should have taken him down, should have gone deeper, and should have been longer. Just then, Szayel stepped out from the shadows.

"Great swing, Ichigo," Szayel mocked, drawing out his name like "Ich-igoooo" almost lazily, "But that won't work with the combination of my special fraccion's Hierro and Menos-like qualities..." His pink hair framed his face, which was pulled up in a twisted, menacing smile.

Ichigo and Ishida gasped.

"Menos?"

Ishida thought back to the time Ichigo and he had to fight a Menos. He quickly calculated in his head and decided that they would have to try the same method if they wanted to defeat the fraccion. Thinking on his feet, he called to Ichigo, who was busy now trying to dodge Hammer's fist.

"Kurosaki! Come here! Now!" Uryu yelled.

"I'm *grunt* a little *grunt* busy!"

"No really! If you want to live, come here!"

Ichigo tore himself away from Hammer, quickly flash stepping over to Uryu. He doubled over, panting.

"What do you want Ishida?" Ichigo said angrily.

"I know how to kill it. You remember when we had to fight that Menos a while ago?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"The same method should work. Come here and raise your sword. It will be a little different with my Ginrei Kojaku, but I think I have it figured out," Uryu motioned for Ichigo to stand next to him.

He warily did so, raising Tensa Zangetsu high into the air. Uryu groaned.

"Not that high, Kurosaki. Hold it straight out in front of you, and do it quick!" he urged.

Ichigo obeyed and Hammer came slowly lumbering towards them. Ishida closed his eyes and focused on his reiatsu. Attempting to concentrate it, a spout appeared on the right side of his bow. It grew larger, filling out and going back to his shoulder. When it was finished changing, it somewhat resembled a funnel.

"Come on Kurosaki, put your sword in the spout! Hold tight, and try to concentrate your

spiritual pressure. I know how difficult that is for you..." He muttered the last part.

Ichigo positioned Tensa Zangetsu in the blue light extending from Uryu's bow and gripped so hard his knuckles turned white. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"When I say three, I want you to pour every bit of spiritual pressure you've got into your sword. Just let it explode." Uryu said over his shoulder.

Ichigo nodded and held fast to his sword.

"One,"

Hammer plodded closer to them, preparing his hammer hand.

"Two,"

Both Uryu and Ichigo took up fighting stances. Hammer was pulling back to swing at them.

"Three," Uryu yelled.

Uryu concentrated his reiatsu as much as he possibly could and forced it through his bow. Ichigo grunted as he attempted to keep his wild spiritual pressure in control, channeling it into his sword in an instant. Uryu pulled his arm back, aiming straight for Hammer's face, who was in mid swing as Uryu released the super charged volt of reiatsu. The arrow was huge, more of a ragged bolt than the usual sleek projectile. It ripped through the air and nothing else was heard until it connected with Hammer, tearing right through his face and searing the flesh. The bolt hit the nearest wall and it exploded in stone boulders and dust. A clean hole, big enough for Hammer, who was at least five or six times as tall and wide as Ichigo or Ishida, was blasted through it. Hammer fell to the ground, frozen in mid swing, and slowly disintegrated. Szayel stood in the shadows, his face somber and unbelieving.

"I didn't believe the stories they told of your powers," Szayel said, emerging from the shadows once more, "but I guess I have to believe now, huh?" He paused and looked down. "Your power...is much greater than that of Aizen's... I will be killed if I remain... It would only be fitting for me... But Lord Aizen himself could... If he were to find out..." Szayel voiced his thoughts to himself. "I... I think I want...Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida

Uryu..."

Both Ichigo and Uryu were puzzled at this. Neither had any idea where Szayel was going with this or where it came from, but it almost seemed planned. As if Szayel knew the two would defeat Hammer.

"Yes?" Ichigo and Uryu answered at the same time.

"I... I wish to join you."

A/N: Kay. So. First FanFic. Probs not fantastic and it's been a while (this is the updated version of the first post I did of this chapter as you know if you read the A/N at the top) REVIEWS AND I SHALLS CONTINUES. I lost a lot of my work because it was saved on my school computer. I got kicked out of that school and didn't have time to get my stuff. Ah well. Shit happens.
