A/N: Sorry this chapter isn't very good but the next one is awesome, don't worry!

I was woken by a young woman with dark hair tied back in a sort of bun, glasses and a deadly serious expression on her face. "Thank goodness. You're finally awake!"

"What happened? How long have I been out?" I enquired.

"You were hit across the head by a cero from one of the Arrancars. No one expected it. You've been out cold for getting towards an hour I believe. By the way my name is Nanao Ise, I'm the Lieutenant of Squad 8."

"Ah so you are Shunsui's Lieutenant! I thought I recognised you, it's just hard to place names and faces when you've just arrived back to consciousness." She laughed and I was glad, it seemed this serious girl did have emotions which was always a bonus. "So what have I missed."

"I can't tell you the exact details as I've mostly been here making sure you were still alive but I at least know some of what's happening." As she said this there was a great increase in spiritual pressure somewhere in the distance to my right.

"That last fluctuation was the head Captain." She said under her breath before realising she was talking to me and carried on, "Well when Aizen and the Arrancars arrived and after you had fallen, the head Captain sealed the 3 ex-Captains in a massive prison of fire so that we could destroy the Arrancars first."

"Some of one of the Espada's Fracción, sort of Lieutenants, went to each of the four towers to try and destroy them. Shūhei, Izuru and Yumichika, 5th seat of Squad 11, all defeated the Arrancars that attacked them but Ikkaku held back and didn't use his Bankai until it was too late. His tower went down and some of the real Karakura Town transferred back before Komamura-Taichou could stop it, luckily not too much of Karakura Town transferred back so it could certainly be worse in that respect. Komamura-Taichou then went on to defeating the Espada with his Bankai.

Meanwhile Suì-Fēng-Taichou and her Lieutenant Marechiyo Ōmaeda both got into battles with Arrancars which they both won, Suì-Fēng-Taichou then went onto battle the second highest ranking Espada, I believe they are still in battle.

My Captain is fighting another Espada, I believe he is the highest ranking one, while Ukitake-Taichou is battling his Fracción. Hitsugaya-Taichou is in a fight against the 3rd Espada and Rangiku is fending off her three Fracción which last time I checked wasn't going well."

I felt a knot form in my stomach at the thought that Rangiku and possibly Tōshirō were in great danger. "However I did see Lieutenant of Squad 5, Momo Hinamori, go to her aid and also Shūhei and Izuru were heading over to help. Also the head Captain's spiritual pressure was around that area so I'm sure that they are all fine." She seemed to stumble her last words and I was pretty certain that she was not sure of all of there fate.

I started to sit up and felt dark spots start to dart in front of my eyes. I reached out and grabbed onto Nanao's arm for support, she held onto me firmly keeping me upright as I let my vision clear. Then with her help I stood up and stretched, trying to get some circulation back into my limbs.

Soon I was pretty much back to normal apart from the small cuts and dust that covered me. I jumped up to stand on the air to survey my surroundings.

In front of me, where Aizen and his small army had first appeared was a ball of fire. 'This must be where the ex-Captains are.' I thought to myself in awe of the old man's power.

I could see that the tower to my left had collapsed and I rightly guessed that that was were Ikkaku had fallen, I hoped he would be okay, no one deserved to die. Somewhere off in the distance to my right I could feel what I think was Shunsui's spiritual pressure but it was quite faint so I don't believe he was really exerting himself that much.

I turned around and instantly knew that Tōshirō was there. You might be thinking it's some "sign of love" or something cheesy like that but no, it was the fact that there was a giant ice dragon, Tōshirō's zanpakutō, Hyōrinmaru.

Suddenly there was a massive flash and whoever Tōshirō was fighting seemed to fall in slow motion. I fist-punched the air knowing that Tōshirō had won and soon enough I was joined by the head Captain, Komamura, his Lieutenant, Izuru, Rangiku, a girl roughly my age ("Momo I presume?" I asked her. She told me I was correct.), Shūhei and Tōshirō. I smiled, they were all still alive, even though I had not been able to help, they were still alive.

Suddenly the fire prison dispersed and out stepped the three ex-Captains. I stared at Tōsen in loathing, "Is there any objection with me killing Tōsen." I said aloud to no one in particular, hoping against hope that no one would object.
