Authors notes: Ok chapter 4, left it with a decent cliffhanger I thought. Still searching for beta got a couple of messages for the job but none are in the time frame I am posting at. After all I got a few of you hooked it would be rude of me not to give daily chapters cause my Beta is slow. Read Review tell me what you think. Also make sure to shot out any suggestions. Ty

Himelove22- Yes Trivon was the one who took her sorry for the lack of explanation.

Nypsy- your question will be answered in this chapter.

Chapter 4: Apology

In the open desert of Hucco Mundo a Garganta opened. But instead of hollows two human jumped down, landing in the barren waste land looking around. It was Chad and Ishida they had come for Inoue.

"I was expecting a building or something like last time…..be alert Chad." Ishida said, Chad nodding in response, even tho they were in the open desert they could see the crumbling remains of Las Noches in the distance.

They both were now running through the desert toward the destroyed fortress. "Was it this far last time?" Ishida asked, Chad remained silent for a few seconds. "We had Bawabawa last time." Chad said as Ishida sighed.

"looks like some trash managed to leak into here doesn't it….Trivon?" A Arrancar that looked similar to Trivon asked. Trivon was standing a little behind him to the right. "Do not under estimate your foes Galbiron…it's the last time I'll tell you." Trivon said coldly. "Why did you bring that girl here Trivon?" Galbiron asked. "She is needed for our plan….plus taking her like I did might provoke an interesting person to come…" Trivon said coldly.

"What about that washed up Espada that's been around….rumor is he is after her too." Galbiron said. "We only need to focus on finishing the ritual to open hells gate. Once we retrieve master Ulquiorra that nosey Grimmjow will be nothing." Trivon spoke.

Back in the human world Ichigo was standing in the middle of the warehouse. All the Vizards were around him in a circle formation. "Unlike last time Ichigo we won't have to restrain you. If this fails you will die and become a REAL hollow after that there is no helping you, we will have to kill you." Shinji said, Ichigo only nodded.

"Once we start you'll be thrown into your inner world, hollowfication takes 3 hours to complete. If it completes you die. When you fused with your Zanpakuto it didn't die it went into a deep sleep to recover. That's why you lost your powers. Your father was the same way that's why you never saw him with Shinigami powers until recently. Because they were asleep. Its our hope you can wake your hollow AND Zangetsu if you do….your powers will restore and your hollow will reject the hollowfication. The only reason we are using hollowfication cause it's the only way to push you into your inner world." Hachigen explained.

After a moment Ichigo falls to the ground. "It starts….good luck Ichigo….if you fail Inoue dies…" Hachigen spoke.

Ichigo opened his eyes, he was floating in water. As soon as he realized this he began to struggle and swim upward but there was no sign of a surface. He stopped and calmed himself, remembering last time he came he was in a underwater Karakura town and was able to breathe. After calming he took in a breath to realize he could breathe. Only difference this time was that instead of skyscrapers or a small Karakura town it was just endless water. Hardly any light as well, it made since, Zangetsu always said when he was depressed his inner world flooded. After 17 months of rain it would look like this.

He was in his normal street clothes, but this time he had a chain of fate coming from his chest and it was cut as well. Did this mean he was dead? He noticed the chain was eating away at itself slowly. He had to find Zangetsu quickly.

Back in Hucco Mundo Chad and Ishida were finally closing in on the ruins of Las Noches. "Well well it isn't every day we get quests!" A voice yelled, causing Chad and Ishida to stop in their tracks looking around. "How rude of me to engage in conversation without introducing myself." The figure said blasting up from under the sand. It was a Arrancar like Trivon but A LOT bigger. It was twice the size Yammy was.

"I am Leventer, Guardian of the entrance to Las Noches. I know why you are both here and I am sorry to say I have to slaughter you both for even trying…..Aizen-Sama's pet now belongs to us. We will need her to activate Aizen-Sama's back up plan…" Leventer spoke out, both Ishida and Chad's eyes widened at what was just said. "You mean you're going to use Inoue to get that bastard back?" Ishida yelled quickly aiming up his bow firing a volley of arrows toward the Arrancar.

Leventer quickly dodged the arrows with Sonido, coming up behind Ishida without warning, his Zanpakuto already drawn. "EL DIRECTO!" Chad yelled throwing his red and black fist toward the surprised Leventer. Luckily Leventer used his Zanpakuto to block the energy wave that followed the powerful punch, but the energy threw him backwards away from both his and Ishida.

When Leventer came to a sliding stop he noticed Ishida was gone. Using his Hirenkyaku Ishida was now above the Arrancar. "Sorry but we don't have time to go easy on you…forgive our tactics but we can't allow you to hurt our friend….Goodbye" Ishida said as he pulled back on his bow, powering one of his most powerful techniques. "Licht Regen!" He yelled launching the powerful volley of arrows down onto Leventer. Leventer screamed out as the arrows pierced through him, destroying him completely, when the technique was finished nothing remained of the once Arrancar.

Inoue looked up while in her cell. She felt Ishida and Chad's reiatsu during they're fight. "This doesn't involve them! Let them go please." Inoue pleaded with her captures. "No can do they pissed Trivon off….plus they just killed one of ours, no way they're getting away now." Inoue looked to the side, feeling helpless just like last time, just waiting to be saved by Ichigo. The thought of him made her calm a bit but then the realization that Ichigo wouldn't be coming this time hit again.

"Once the Garganta is ready Trivon and a few people will go into the world of the living and Kill Ichigo Kurosaki for good measure then we can start the process to open hells gate. Remember what we told you, you refuse to heal Master Ulquiorra we will kill EVERYONE in that town…." The Arrancar that was guarding her spoke. "How do I know you won't just kill them after anyway?" Inoue asked.

"You'll just have to truth us…"The Arrancar said with a laugh. "Bryuia stop playing with the prisoner…" Galbiron spoke. "get her ready. These humans aren't as weak as we thought they got rid of Leventer without really trying, we are moving to the world of the living. Our agents there cannot find Ichigo Kurosaki so we are just going to go ahead with the ritual for hells gate." Galbiron said again and Bryuia nodded turning to Inoue.

"let's go…." Before he could grab her tho a light blue sped by them both, a few slashing sounds were heard before they both hit the ground. "Tch..Pathetic, don't go touching my prey…" a cold familiar voice spoke, Inoue stared in horror at the figure in front of her.

"Grimmjow? I thought….why did you do that?" Inoue asked scared, backing up in my cell. "Teh… I'm not with these band of clowns…Me and Tier just want Hucco Mundo to be left as is…but if these rejects bring Ulquiorra that'll mean the Shinigami will come and wipe everything out….not that I am scared of anything. I only want to fight one person and it just so happens you have the power to heal me so I can…!" Grimmjow spoke with that normal smirk on his face.
