I. Prologue: Gathering of Darkness
The sun was sinking down into the horizon of the endless white desert, giving the pale blue sky over to the darkness of the night. In the gleaming white palace of Las Noches, most of the Arrancar were already going back to their rooms to rest. Expect for the people gathered in the gigantic throne room that is. All ten Espada stood with their Fracción behind them, waiting patiently beside the throne (or as patiently as most of them could be).
A tall man clad in white lounged on the pale stone seat in the centre of the room, flanked by two men in similar dress at either side. His piercing brown eyes were looking expectantly in front of him.
"Aizen-sama, are you sure that this was a good idea?" the dark skinned man on his right asked suddenly.
"What do you mean, Tousen?" the brown haired man questioned, a hint of a smile upon his lips.
"I mean to trust more living creatures and to build an alliance with them." Tousen said. "Let alone call them here to Hueco Mundo."
Aizen smiled enigmatically in response. "But they are already here." he said standing up gracefully.
The Arrancars' gazes were now focused on the spot in front of the throne. A darkness started to surround them, and the chilling reiatsu of many powerful beings swept through their bodies.
"Wow! Are ya sure it ain't jus' our lil' Hitsugaya-taicho comin' over all pissed off?" Gin joked. If anyone chose to look closely enough though, they would see the tension in his posture, and the forced edge to his infamous fox-like smile.
"Hey Stark! Look!" Lilinette exclaimed as she pointed out of the window to where the full moon was visible.
"What is it Li…" The Primera suddenly stopped mid-sentence as they all saw the white moon slowly turn crimson as if it were bleeding.
"What the fuck is going on here?!" Nnoitra snapped.
"Please excuse the delay, but we had some business to take care off before coming here." said a male voice.
The light of the blood-red moon fell on the shadows which disappeared to reveal twelve people dressed in black cloaks with red clouds, their faces hidden by strange hats.
"Welcome to Las Noches!" Aizen held both his arms out to the side, a genuine smile on his face as he welcomed his guests – the Akatsuki.
To be continued…
