So...That is what happened...in the not to distant past...
The Captains, Vice-Captains, Vizards and others have defeated the Espada in the real world successfully. The other three Captains and their Vice-Captains, along with Ichigo and his friends were able to exit Hueco Mundo. Urahara Kisuke took immediate care of it as soon as he got the information, that he needed to do it.
Since everyone was reunited in the fake Karakura town, they could focus on their real enemy.
Aizen. Aizen Sosuke, Ex-Captain of the 5th division. He was indeed surprised...maybe shocked that his "foot soldiers" were defeated while he was in that cage made out of fire by the Head Captain Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai. Now Aizen had to fight them in order to achieve his goal.
To his dismay, Ex-Captain of the 9th Tosen Kaname and Ichimaru Gin Ex-Captain of the 3rd were captured. Yes... captured, not killed. A certain someone had a heart bigger than the entire 13 Gotei and forced some mercy over them. At the same time, Aizen was fighting a bunch of Captains...who were actually just backup for Kurosaki Ichigo.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong Kurosaki is, he couldn't defeat Aizen...at least not in that condition and current amount of power. But it was enough, along with the Captain's help to injure him seriously enough, so that he might surrender. But, of course, he did not surrender. Aizen was to close to just give up. And he definitely didn't want to end up like his two comrades and ...well...friends Ichimaru and Tousen.
He fled. With the little bit of strength he had left....only God knows where. Shinigamis were looking for him in Hueco Mundo, the real world and, just in case, Soul Society. But nothing. Since he was gone everybody assumed, and hoped deeply, that he might stay hidden for a while or maybe forever. Nevertheless everybody was cautious. Captain Unohana Retsu of the 4th division could tell that it would take Aizen quite a time to regain his strength. And because he has no companions so far (that is certain) it might take another "while" till he comes back....thankfully...
So everyone was at least a little relaxed, that they had some time and peace along with it, because of his (wise) decision. But by leaving he left a lot of mess, injured people and a very angry Ichigo behind. Kurosaki wanted to end this chaos once and for all. But it wasn't meant to be....he will stop him. There is no doubt about that. But that day was not THAT day to do so....
