Notes: This is a gatekeeper story. So all your favorite anime and cartoons and sci fi will show up here. Keep your eyes open! I just thought I'd christen the crossovers section for a bit! Its juicy bleach/digimon action! *squeals*

The alarm went off in the laboratory on Shield Station. "Whats happened?" Washu demanded. "And where!" The alien genius hurried to the big viewscreen where an image began to spin. A map appeared and black squares began to fill in on the map grid.

"Its the digital world Washu." The technician replied. A viewer appeared, showing the landscape. Black towers had begun to rise, and over them..........

"Are those Gargantua?"

"Yes, I think its Aizen. They're opening directly from los Noches."

"Why would Aizen want the digital world?"

"We need to find out." A man stood in the doorway, his hair was white with age, but the black sunglasses and suit gave him away instantly.

"Yamaki, long time no see my old apprentice. What brings you up here?"

"A seperate matter. A digimon looking for his old tamer. How exactly do I tell him that his Takato is dead?"

"dunno, but you'd better. Heeeey, I know! Exactly who to send from the Soul Society." Washu turned to Yamaki. "Let me see if the shinigami can find Takato a gigai. I know he doesn't like using them but..... surely for Guilmon he can make an exception?"

"Oh yes, almost forgot, he went Vaizard two years ago." Yamaki sighed, adjusting the keylike weapon at his hip. "This old key just keeps getting heavier."

"Yes it does old friend." Washu sighed. "hey, Seth has a drink for you. Go visit her. You know she misses you."

"Soon." Yamaki remembered the crusnik and emperess of Trinity Blood's vampires well. He'd visited Byzantium as an apprentice and learned a lot from his night time talks with the empress.

Gatekeepers are the interdimentional keepers of the peace. All the anime and manga, all the science fiction and fantasy it all exists elsewhere, somewhere in the universe. The gatekeepers are the ones who keep it all straight. Yamaki had retired officially, and disappeared into the gatekeepers ranks. He'd been named head of Kusanagi United Crafthall on the Gatekeeper's Hold on Pern, Daijuma Hold.

But an emergency for the digimon and a guilmon searching for his tamer had Yamaki on the Big Wheel searching for something to help Guilmon cross to the Soul Society to see his dead tamer once more. Over and over over the years the Astralgator, the leader of all gatekeepers, had refused passage to Guilmon for whatever reason. They thought the digimon to be a danger, especially his alternate form, Megidramon.

"I know...... exactly who to contact." Washu chuckled. She pushed a few buttons. "Kurotsuuuuuchiiiii. Can you put me through to the Commander General.

A few minutes later the captains filed into the meeting room, with Gwen, Uryu and Urahara behind them. The newest member of the Captains ranks was the soul of a former digidestined. Takato had seen so much in his thirty five turns of life, and when an accident had claimed his family but the gatekeepers had saved him, he was taken on a journey across worlds. A journey that had taken him to the doors of Wammy house, taken him to help Daisuke Aramaki found section 9, he'd been a technopath and a father, a hollow and now thanks to the Goddess Diana's intervention a vaizard.

And his daughter, a rangy young woman named Gwen Ryuunami, was a shinigami of lieutenant rank, a pokemon contest master, with a ribbon cup on the wall of his division for her father to admire, a mother twice over, giving him two beautiful grandchildren. She was a chuunin or journeyman ranked gatekeeper (since the keepers used the same ranking as their Naruto Ninja allies) and she had reached Bankai. The highest level of power a shinigami could obtain.

"Ten minutes ago on the world the gatekeepers know as the digital world, black spires began to appear in a cluster of land on their map. A matter of minutes later hollows began to appear in the vicinity of the spires. The gargantua have been traced to Los Noches. Aizen has gone on the attack and Aizen is our problem." Yamamoto began.

"Thirteenth division lieutenant Gwen Ryuunami, apprentices Mello and Sai, former twelfth captain Urahara Kisuke, the last Quincy Uryu Ishida and 5th Captain Takato Aramaki will be the gatekeeper team responding to this emergency."

Takato spoke up. "A native guide will be joining us. Never fear. And the Digidestined have been contacted. However, there are hundreds of these black spires. And every single one will need to be brought down if we are to prevent the hollows from getting into the digital world." Takato reported. "An old mentor of mine has gone off to find help. But it will take him awhile."

Gwen rubbed her hands together conspiratorily. "YES! One place I've never gotten to go!"

Takato laughed. "Yamamoto, don't worry I'll take care of this!"

Yamamoto nodded, "If you need help, Rukia Kuchiki, Yumichika Ayasegawa and Toushiro Hitsugaya are available to join you."

Takato grinned hugely. "Well then sir, I think we'd better get going."

"Yes, you should." Gwen turned to Uryu and Urahara. "Alright guys, dah, Mello and Sai are waiting in the lieutenants room."

"Then you are dissmissed." Yamamoto told the quartet of shinigami and Quincy.

"Lets move."

The doors opened, and the four of them hurried to the lieutenant meeting room. "Mello! Sai! We have an emergency!"

"What's happened?" Renji asked.

Takato answered. "Aizen has launched an attack on a place called the digital world. I should have known, its so easy to bust in that it would be a target for certain."

"Lets move then!"

"Papa, is your gigai alright?"

"I won't need one in the digital world. The spirit particle converter will convert my body to data, yours as well. Remember how everything is Reishi in soul society? In the digital world everything is data."

"you speak like an expert dah?" Gwen asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Long story my little blossom." Takato ruffled his daughter's hair. "Lets go! Someone's waiting for me."

"Dun call me that!" Gwen growled. "Flowers suck."

"Oh really. I know some flower digimon that would disagree." Takato chuckled. He had never told Gwen what Gatekeeper world he was from, for Gwen had been born in and grown up in the inter, a Neutral dimension where all other dimensions were books, stories, tv shows, or cartoons. She'd been quite the digiphyte as a kid actually.

"Alright then daddy dearest, since you're such an expert, lead the way." Gwen smirked.

"See you!" Renji waved goodbye to the gatekeepers, the other lieutenants watching them leave.

Takato slashed an opening in space, and the gatekeepers ran through. They were in a jungle, it was hot and humid and the hair on Gwen's head fluffed out slightly with it, since her hair was both short /and/ messy. "This way." Takato pointed to a ruined Hindu style shrine nearby. "We'll be meeting him here."

"Takato... mon? Takatoooooomon! Takaaaatoooooomoooooon!" Guilmon was seated on a ledge near the shrine, Agumon and Tai, Gatomon and Hikari with him. "Takaaatooooomoooooon!"

"Sorry Guilmon, chill. Just because gatekeepers are coming doesn't mean that your tamer will be."

"You're wrong! Takatomon promised he come back!" Guilmon whined. He glared up at Tai. "Yamaki said he would he prooooomiiiseeed." Guilmon whined.
