Chapter 2: Invasion, Part 2

Under Lilicia's command, Satanus, her "pet" snake, slithered across her shoulders sunk back into her flesh as the large, realistic tattoo it had always been. Then the succubus sighed as she turned away from the dead bodies of shinigami, including Hinamori. She had not had much luck in finding worthy, handsome men since Jade; it had all been women and as she quoted "ugly old men" so far. She was starting to get bored, and she cursed and blamed her team mates for killing her favourite prey before she ever got the chance to.

She was about to move on when a Gran Rey Cero caught her off guard, and she somersaulted out of the way, landing cat-like on all fours.

"Looks like I've found one of them," Grimmjow said with a triumphant smirk.

"What do you want me to do?" Neliel asked her lover.

"Stay back for now," Grimmjow answered as she dashed through the clearing smoke with his zampakutou drawn.

Lilicia was mesmerized for a moment when she saw this handsome man come toward her. Licking her lips, she dodged Grimmjow's attack, jumping backwards with every slash of his sword.

"Why must you dodge, bitch?" Grimmjow taunted as he continued to slash repeatedly at his opponent. "Is it because you don't have the advantage right now? Is it because you're biding your time?" He took another gigantic sweep of his sword, making Lilicia jump up in the air. "Or is it because you're a coward? Come on! Fight me!" Using sonido, he jumped up to where Lilicia was.

Lilicia's body glowed and she transformed into her demon form. "The one with the disadvantage is you!" She exclaimed in a synthesized, echoing voice. A spear formed in her hands, decorated with the carved body of a snake near the blade tip. She pointed the tip of the spear toward Grimmjow as she got into a fighting stance. "I like to play with my prey before I devour them," she purred. Then, with a tremendous burst of speed, she flew towards Grimmjow.

Grimmjow pointed his finger towards her. "Gran Rey Cero!" The turquoise blast of reiatsu shot out of his fingertip, but Lilicia dodged with ease and attacked with a slash of her spear.

"Damn, she's fast," Grimmjow muttered incredulously. He ducked Lilicia once again when she swooped over him. He curled his fingertips over the blade of his zampakutou.

"Whatever you have planned is useless!" Lilicia screeched. She opened her mouth and green "flames" burst from her mouth.

Grimmjow widened his eyes and instantly dodged using sonido. The flames completely burned a deep hole where Grimmjow stood, and wisps of smoke rose from the corroded area.

Observing the damaged patch in the ground, Grimmjow sighed in relief and knew that he must transform into his resurreccion immediately. He ran his fingertips along his blade, shouting, "Grind, Pantera!" His reiatsu increased with an explosive force as his body transformed into a form reminiscent of a panther's. His long, turquoise hair whipped behind him in the wind caused by his reiatsu.

Lilicia smirked wider when she felt Grimmjow's reiatsu increase. Her interest in her opponent piqued and she felt that the battle was becoming more and more enjoyable by the moment.

Grimmjow gave a shrill roar, sending more waves of reiatsu towards his opponent, who folded her wings over herself to block the waves. Grimmjow jumped up and punched Lilicia, who unfolded her wings and blocked with her spear. He followed with a kick, but Lilicia blocked it again. He shot several explosive darts at her, but Lilicia parried them by spinning her spear.

Neliel watched from the sidelines as her mate's attacks were failing to affect Lilicia. She could not believe how skilled this woman was. Just what is she? Grimmjow had been training non-stop to overthrow Aizen for 30 years and his attacks were not affecting his opponent one bit. Should I step in? She asked herself, her body trembling with desperate anticipation.

Grimmjow growled in frustration, and Lilicia smirked in response. "Got anything else you'd like to throw at me?" She asked confidently.

Grimmjow matched her smirk and bared his claws. "Oh yes! My greatest attack! Desgarron!" Blue ribbons of reiatsu formed from his claws and he slashed them outward like multiple whips. Lilicia dodged them and slashed her spear at them every time they were executed towards her. Grimmjow spun around, waving his arms while he slashed the ribbons continuously at his opponent.

"Your greatest attack, huh?" Lilicia said as she dodged another ribbon. "It feels intense, but," she twirled her spear around a couple of them and they dissipated immediately to Grimmjow's shock, "they're not enough to bring me down!"

She pierced her spear through another ribbon and flew towards Grimmjow, slicing the ribbon length-wise. Grimmjow tried to use his other hand to slash more ribbons at her, but she cancelled them out with eye lasers. Once she completely sliced through the ribbon, she slashed through Grimmjow's chest and kicked him to the ground.

Grimmjow grunted as he slowly stood up from the rubble. Lilicia grounded herself in front of him. Grimmjow looked up at her, but was violently kicked to the side.

Lilicia stepped towards him with a malicious grin on her face. "You've tried so hard to fight, but it looks like you've lost," she said with a chuckle.

Grimmjow shot a cero at his opponent but she parried it away with one of her wings. Shock showed in his eyes as he gasped. "Im...possible!" he whispered.

Neliel had also gasped as well, and she knew that something had to be done. She spread her arms and her lance appeared, along with her chamois body and horns. "Hey you!" She shouted at Lilicia.

Before Lilicia was about to do any more damage to Grimmjow, she turned around to face Neliel. Grimmjow faced her as well and shook his head.

However, Neliel refused to acknowledge her lover's gesture. Poising her lance, she charged towards Lilicia. "Leave him alone, you bitch!" She screamed as she gained speed.

Lilicia smirked as she turned her spear around so that the sharp head pointed toward the ground. Neliel pulled her lance back, and as soon as she was close enough, Lilicia brought her spear down against Neliel's lance, shattering the weapon upon contact.

Grimmjow looked on in shock. There was no way that this woman was that strong when he fought her. Was she purposely holding back during their fight? She was already a formidable opponent then, and if she was holding back, then defeating her would be impossible. This would mean that Neliel was in danger.

Lilicia cackled in shrill, maniacal laughter. "Did you really think that I was using my full power when I fought you, kitty cat?" Grimmjow snarled at the name. "You and your little girlfriend are finished. I'll just rip her apart, and then I'll come after you next to finish what I had started."

Neliel widened her eyes in fear.

"NELIEL! GET OUT OF THERE NOW!" Grimmjow shouted. He fired more explosive darts at Lilicia to try to keep her focus off of Neliel, but Lilicia swatted the darts away without any effort.

With a powerful swipe of one of her claws, Lilicia slashed across Neliel's chest. Neliel screamed in pain as Lilicia continuously slashed through her body brutally. Blood splashed everywhere and Lilicia laughed at Neliel's screams. Then she switched to her spear and repeated her actions.

Grimmjow could not bear to watch as his girlfriend was being cruelly tortured in front of him and he wanted to protect her like how he had promised. He forced himself to get up despite his injuries and charged towards Lilicia, claws drawn.

Lilicia stopped her torturous actions just in time to see Grimmjow about to attack her. Her smirk never left her face as she drove her spear straight through Neliel's chest. The former third espada choked up blood as her resurreccion left her, and she collapsed to the ground.

"NELIEL!" Grimmjow screamed. He tried to slash at Lilicia, who caught his arm before it could reach her.

"She's finished," Lilicia said. Her eyes glowed a yellow colour and Grimmjow froze in his place. She transformed back into her normal form and placed a hand on Grimmjow's face. "And so are you." Her lips brushed against Grimmjow's.

Grimmjow tried to resist but because he was paralyzed, he could not. He averted his eyes to Neliel's bloody and broken corpse. He could feel an unconscious tear slip from his eyes as he saw the woman he loved fade away. There was one word—one name—that was the last on his mind before his own demise had come to him, before he too faded away into dust.

"Neliel..."

Aiko Kurosaki ran through the heavily damaged streets of Sereitei in a panic, trying not to be seen by the enemy. She had just seen Renji and then Byakuya being slaughtered in front of her by a giant mace, and she ran away immediately before the muscular man wielding the mace could notice her presence. Countless others lay dead all around her, and she saw more of them as she turned every corner.

She cursed herself for being so weak and scared all the time. All she wanted to do was help people, hence why she joined the Shinigami Academy. However, her skills were not quite as good as her older brother, Ryuichi. She could do kidou just as well, but her swordsmanship skills were lacking. Sometimes she felt that she did not deserve to be a Kurosaki.

Now that Sereitei was being attacked by five extremely powerful individuals, how can she help others now? She had not graduated from the Academy yet, and she was not skilled enough to try and fight for survival. All what she could do was run.

Her eyes widened when she noticed her brother fighting one of the invaders and hid behind a ruined building. She felt Ryuichi's anger through his aggressive attacks and counters and shuddered. She had never seen him so enraged before, and she could guess why as she could no longer feel Ruby's or her mother's reiatsus (she burst out crying when she felt her mother's reiatsu disappear). All what she could do was pray that her brother would win, and more than anything else, survive.

Ryuichi swung his fiery scythe and when Ashanan dodged the attack, he slashed his main weapon. Despite the ineffectiveness of the attacks, he kept trying to harm the demon, who was taunting his every move.

When Ryuichi swung his scythe once again, Ashanan turned transparent, allowing the weapon to pass through him as if he were a hologram. Then he vanished completely.

The scythe boomeranged back to Ryuichi's hand and he caught it instantly. Then he focused his senses as he tried to search for his opponent. However, Ashanan was nowhere to be seen. This angered the younger Kurosaki. "COME OUT, YOU FUCKING COWARD!" He screamed. "I'M NOT IN THE FUCKING MOOD FOR YOUR MIND GAMES!"

Darting as a shadow between ruined buildings and walls, Ashanan chuckled darkly. He loved frustrating his opponents, especially this one.

At the same time, Aiko was also searching for the demon, and she found him hovering as a shadow above her brother, about to strike.

"Nii-chan! Look out! Above you!" She warned without thinking. A voice inside her cursed her for giving away her presence, and she knew that Ryuichi would not like it if she put herself in danger.

And she was right. Ryuichi growled, but before he could yell at her, Ashanan dove down, shifted back to normal, and drew his katana within seconds.

Ryuichi immediately blocked his opponent's attack, and the two adversaries exchanged blows. They clashed their swords together as reiatsu exploded between them. The clashing continued until they stalled their blades against each other's.

"You're holding back," Ashanan said, "I can feel it through your sword."

Ryuichi narrowed his eyes. For once his opponent was right. After all, he was just warming up.

Using his scythe, he slashed at his opponent, who jumped back several kilometres.

Ashanan smirked at the gesture. "Did I strike a nerve?" He asked with a cocked eyebrow.

Ryuichi matched his smirk. "Nope. I realized you were right. You see, I like to drag things—in other words, have a warm up before turning things up. I've been training hard for something like this, so I'd like to thank you for allowing me to utilize my next move." He crossed his sword and scythe over his chest as an orange aura of energy enveloped him. "BANKAI!"

The aura circled him at high speeds, getting closer every second and glowing brighter. Once it encase his body, it dispersed, leaving an orange sleeveless haori over his shoulders. His shuhakushou and hakama were replaced by a shinobi's outfit, and a golden obi was tied around his waist. A black bandana was tied around his forehead, and a golden dragon patterned on one side of each of his legs. The fire patterns that often trademarked his hollow mask were tattooed on his face. His scythe was replaced by fiery blades on his arms and legs, and his main blade was replaced by a long, burnt orange katana with curved ridges along the blade. "Shinobi no Karyuu," Ryuichi said.

Ashanan grinned at his opponent's new appearance. "Impressive look, but I doubt it will be enough to beat me."

Ryuichi's eyes narrowed as he got into a fighting stance. "Let's have a wager on it then!" With a tremendous burst of speed, he charged towards his opponent.

Ashanan held out his hand and pressurized water blasted in a spiral formation from it. Ryuichi dodged it immediately, darting from one point to another. Ashanan continued to blast water at his opponent, but Ryuichi dodged it with agile speed.

Once he got behind his opponent, Ryuichi shot fire kunai from the blades on his arms, catching Ashanan off-guard. The demon tried to blast water at them, thinking that the water will extinguish them, but the kunai continued to pass through unaffected. He disappeared before the kunai could hit him.

However, Ryuichi thought quickly. He slashed his sword as soon as Ashanan re-materialized and the demon blocked the attack with his own sword. More reiatsu exploded around them as they clashed their swords together.

"You're fast," Ashanan noted as he blocked another strike from Ryuichi.

"My Bankai combines speed, kidou, shinobi skills and hollow powers in one," Ryuichi explained, slashing his sword in all directions.

"Will it be enough, I wonder?" Ashanan said.

Ryuichi swept his leg towards his opponent in a low roundhouse style, but Ashanan blocked it. Then he split himself into two clones, which attacked the Kurosaki simultaneously.

Ryuichi jumped into the air and the clones followed him. Narrowing his eyes, Ryuichi pointed his fists in front of him and let out a powerful cero. However, the clones dodged it immediately, and while one clone shot lightning from one side, the other shot pressurized water from the other side. Ryuichi dematerialized out of the way, and both elements collided in the centre. However, they did not subside. Instead, the clones sent their combined attacked towards the Kurosaki.

Ryuichi held his hands out in front of him. "Bakudou 81 – Dankuu!" An enormous wall of reiatsu formed in front of him, but when the lightning-water combination attack made impact, the wall shattered and Ryuichi was hit hard by the attack.

Aiko's eyes widened in horror as her brother plummeted to the ground, badly burned from the impact of the attack. She wanted to do something, but she was not skilled enough. Her brother would be more vulnerable and would end of dying just because of her. But she could not stand still and watch her brother get beaten. There has to be some way to help him.

Ryuichi cursed himself as he managed to get enough strength to stop himself from falling. He did not know that kidou was useless against the enemy, but he knew that putting up a kidou shield was a stupid idea. He landed on all fours and shot his head up to face both clones of Ashanan. He tried to find a weakness, but nothing came to him.

One of Ashanan's clones dove to Ryuichi's location, shooting heat waves from one hand and lightning bolts from the other. Using bursts of speed, Ryuichi dodged each of them, prepared to counter at the right moment. As soon as the clone was close enough, Ryuichi slashed his sword against him, but the clone dodged immediately and countered with whirlwinds. Ryuichi dodged and fired more fiery kunai and ceros, but they did not have any effect.

He barely noticed the other clone as he dove in to attack Aiko. Ryuichi's breath caught in his throat and flash-stepped towards his sister, stepping in just in time to block the slash of the clone's blade with his own body. Then everything went quiet.

Aiko thought that she was going to be killed, but the blow never came. Her eyes locked onto her brother, who had shielded her from the attack. But her horrified eyes noticed one thing in particular: Ashanan's katana had stabbed straight through Ryuichi's chest, through his left lung. She wanted to scream, but when she tried, it only came out as a whimper as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Ryuichi coughed up blood and averted his eyes to his sister. "Get…out…of…here, Aiko... Leave! Now!" He coughed once again and collapsed as soon as Ashanan ripped his blade from his chest. His Bankai disappeared as he took his final breath.

Aiko stepped back in fear; her legs wobbled as she tried to stay standing. "Ryu…" She tried to say, but there was a lump in her throat that was hard to swallow. There was no choice but to run, but the enemy was in front of her. No one could protect her – her brother was now part of the deceased, and her father was fighting miles away. All she wanted to do was run, but her legs refused to obey.

"Poor girl," Ashanan said with a chuckle. "What'cha gonna do now, hmm? Nobody's gonna save you. It's over. Don't worry though; you'll join him, for I know that's what you want." He chuckled again as he raised his katana above her.

Aiko gasped and shivered. It was bad enough to be paralyzed in fear, but what was worse was that she was next. At least she will join her brother, mother, and her friends who were killed.

Before Ashanan could bring his sword down upon Aiko, several kunai were thrown towards him, and Aiko was startled as she was pulled aside. Before Ashanan could figure out what was happening, the kunai exploded into clouds of thick smoke.

It took a moment for Aiko to realize what was happening, and she had noticed the person who had saved her – her best friend, Liliana Urahara. "Lil…iana," Aiko whispered incredulously.

Liliana smirked as she looked over her shoulder. "Yo."

"Where are we going?" Aiko questioned.

"My father had invented a device that's going to get us out of this hell," Liliana explained. "It's also going to involve a mission for just the two of us."

"Just the two of us?" Aiko repeated. "But my father is…"

"It won't be long before he too is gone," Liliana cut off. Aiko's eyes widened. "It seems no one can defeat these guys," Liliana continued, "and Kurosaki-Taichou is fighting the worst of them. Who knows how long he will survive, but my father knows that he will do whatever he can to ensure your safety." She noticed the panic that was in her friend's eyes and scowled. "Smarten up, Aiko! At least you'll be saved, so quit acting like a scared little girl! You're better than this, and if you're not now, then get better!"

Aiko looked away sheepishly. Her friend had always been so tough despite her younger age, and she had envied her. At least she won't watch anyone else lose their lives.

Ichigo glared at the man he was fighting. All what this guy did was dodge his attacks, whether it was his Getsuga Tenshou or slashing of his zampakutou. Just what was his deal? Is he hiding something?

The evil grin remained on Necrios' face as he stared at the Kurosaki captain. "You've got talent, I can give you that much," he remarked, "But I want you at your full potential before I suck the life out of you." He chuckled darkly.

Ichigo growled as he whipped his hand across his face, drawing out his striped hollow mask. He had not used his mask for a really long time, mainly because of the alterations Aizen had made to his soul. Now the dense power that his hollow persona had possessed sickened him. However, he would do anything to defeat this man.

"Yes, that's it," Necrios said. "You're one step closer! Now come at me with all you've got!"

Ichigo complied by charging at his opponent using shunpo. He slashed Zangetsu repeatedly against Necrios, who continued dodging. Ichigo sped his attacks, pushing Necrios back with his aggressive slashes.

"Why the fuck are you dodging?" Ichigo demanded, frustrated by his opponent's style of fighting—or lack of it. "Fight back, damn it!"

He fired a cero, which Necrios evaded immediately. Using bursts of speed, Ichigo darted in all directions, blasting ceros and slashing Zangetsu. However, Necrios dodged them all.

"GETSUGA TENSHOU!" Ichigo shouted as black reiatsu was shot from his zampakutou.

Instead of dodging, Necrios formed a barrier using thread-like tendrils that exited his back. A large grin formed on his face as he leered at his opponent. "Well it seems that you have impressed me enough, Kurosaki," he stated confidently. "Judging from Aizen's memories and from what you had shown me, it seems that this is your full potential."

From behind his mask, Ichigo widened his eyes. Aizen? This guy knows Aizen? Then he remembered something that his adversary had told him before their fight.

"A long time ago—15 years to be exact—I killed a certain individual with a lot of strength by absorbing his life force. I acquired everything from him—his powers and abilities, his personality traits, even his memories. There was one person on his mind that seemed to be his greatest enemy, and that man was you. There were others, but you stood out to be the most powerful of them all. My allies and I have come to this dimension to seek the power that you possess, and of course...kill everyone in sight."

Ichigo froze at the memory. So Aizen was finally dealt with after all. However, it had led to even worse situation. Soul Society was in ruin, and everyone else—most of them—were destroyed by this invading force. And he was the reason.

He could not blame himself though. Even though it was indirect, Aizen was the cause of this. If only Ichigo killed him when he had the chance, but Aizen had to flee and then brainwash him years later.

Ichigo balled his hands into tight fists as he growled at his newest foe. This guy was going to pay for what he and his group had done to Soul Society, his family, his friends, and his subordinates. Dense reiatsu swirled around him as his eyes glowed an eerie white.

"Come at me, Kurosaki," Necrios beckoned, whipping his tendrils in all directions. "Let's get this party started!"

With a loud battle cry, Ichigo charged towards his opponent, who shot tendrils from his wrists towards him. Ichigo evaded him with shunpo, but Necrios whipped them in his direction. Ichigo dodged them once again. Necrios shot more tendrils from his shoulders, and they whipped in all directions.

Ichigo jumped into the air and slashed his zampakutou downward. "GETSUGA TENSHOU!" Black reiatsu blasted towards Necrios, who used some of his tendrils to shield himself and the rest to counter Ichigo's attack.

The Kurosaki tried to slash at them to prevent them from reaching him, but some of them wrapped around Zangetsu. He gasped and fired a cero to loosen the tendrils' grip. More wrapped around him; he tried to struggle to free himself, but they tightened themselves around him.

"Try to struggle all you want," Necrios laughed, "They will tighten even more! Now your power is mine!"

Ichigo panicked as the tendrils glowed around him, sucking his life out of him. He knew could not fight anymore; it would just worsen the process. His Bankai left him, along with his mask, and he could feel himself getting weaker by the second.

He averted his blurring vision to Rukia's corpse lying in the rubble that was once his house. Would he be able to join her, wherever she was now? He hoped so. His eyes slowly closed and his breathing ceased.

Aiko and Liliana arrived in the 12th Division Headquarters, where Yoruichi and Urahara were waiting for them.

In Urahara's hands, there was a strange device, somewhat resembling a wand or small scepter. On the thick, olive-green handle were small buttons and a display screen. A glowing, amber orb was on one end of the handle.

Yoruichi gave her daughter and then Aiko a hug each. "We're so proud of you, girls, and want you to be strong and survive for us, okay?"

Liliana nodded and tears slipped from Aiko's eyes. She could believe that this was happening. Her family was all gone and she was alone.

Urahara handed the device to Liliana, who grasped the handle. Then he turned to Aiko. "Grab the handle as well, Aiko," He instructed. With hesitation, Aiko did as she was told.

"This device will send you back in time," Urahara explained. "30 years to be exact. As you can see, it's been activated and will send you back in 60 seconds. Your mission is to warn everyone in that time period about this atrocious tragedy. I also want you to remain in that time period as well. It's hard, but I know you can do this. Also, try to refrain from telling your families that you're of relation to them. This might make you emotional, especially you Aiko, but the last thing we need is confusion. Good luck."

Aiko stared at the display screen on the device's handle and noticed a digital clock counting down—5...4...3...2...1. The device glowed brighter and sent an aura around the girls. Then, in an instant, they disappeared to another time, another universe."

Next Time in Inherited Nightmares...

"Welcome, class," the teacher greeted, "we have a couple new students who will be joining us today."

On cue, Aiko and Liliana walked in the classroom. While there was no emotion on Liliana's face, Aiko was very shy and timid. Then her eyes laid on Ichigo and Rukia sitting in their desks, staring back at her.

So that's chapter 2 finished for you guys! Next chapter is going to be set 30 years in the past and is going to be in the current Bleach universe, which will take place after the Ginjou and Tsukishima situation. Also, you will see that even though Rukia is a lieutenant, she remains in the World of the Living for a bit. Orihime will be alive as well and will be a much nicer person than she was in Incomplete Sorrows. However, since Ulquiorra has died, the pairing involving her will be with Ishida Uryuu. Other pairings? Urahara x Yoruichi and Ichigo x Rukia of course! There may be a lemon scene in the future of this story, so we'll see how things will turn out.

More news, for those of you had been waiting for the latest chapter of Bloody Rose, it will come up after a chapter that my boyfriend and I are going to do on another story, which will be next (only available on Facebook though). Then after chapter 3 of Bloody Rose, I'll set to work on chapter 3 of Condemned Time.

Let me know what you think of this chapter! Take care.
