Amaterasu hadn't moved fast enough and she was blasted through the door by two cero hitting her at the same time. What she saw inside made her skin crawl.

There were several large figures, drawn in a circle. They were neither hollow or shinigami. If anything they bore a distinct resemblance to symbols of elemental forces. She could see the marks for the sun, the moon, water, fire, earth, and air. It was an old ritual used to for blessing something although this man seemed to think it was a summoning ritual. She wondered where he had gotten the information from.

Amaterasu suspected that this man had been attempting to harness her powers with the yami shard when he saw what she could do. The end result was an attempt to summon them. She was glad that none of the other gods were present. They would certainly take offense to this. The ones who were included would not be happy to be called for such petty reasons, the ones who were not included would be slighted. It was rather disturbing to see the actions of mortals some times. To go so far as to defile a sacred ritual, he must want that power quite badly.

She didn't have long to stare before the arrancar shot at her again. She dodged this time and she was about to run when she felt herself get bounded once more.

"You saved me the trouble of having to catch you again. Good job you two. You are dismissed." Crooned Aizen as he dragged her toward the center of the room. "You showed me just what I can do with the Hogyoku. I think you can help me transcend this plane of existence. I have certainly earned it."

Keiko had spent the day practicing just as she was told to do. It didn't bother her that she had spent several hours doing the same dance over and over. They would be putting on a show soon and she had to play the part of one of the warriors. It wasn't a big part but she was looking forward to it. It didn't help that dancing to the battle music was lots of fun. She was a little annoyed though, the grownups said that she shouldn't show anyone what she could do unless it was an emergency. She already knew it was a good idea to keep yourself a secret.

But then she got pranked by one of the older kids that lived here and got in trouble for causing a fuss. No matter what she said the director would just tell her to go to her room and think about what she did. She was rather bored and Yoru -nee was nowhere to be found. She could look for the other animals, but they didn't talk like Yoru did. She had thought about what she did, but she figured that if someone pours water on you then it's perfectly fine to throw mud at them. It never occurred that she got in trouble for staining their clothes and not, throwing mud at them, like she thought.

Keiko slipped out of the building after checking that nobody would be able to find her. She had made a decoy for her bed. Everyone else knew that she had been grounded and they wouldn't be asking her for anything.

The first thing she noticed was that everything was quiet. This wouldn't normally be so strange if it wasn't for the fact that this was the third district. The business section of the third district in fact. It was supposed to be bustling with people but the atmosphere felt dead, as if all life had been sucked out of it. Something told her that she should keep her head down if she was going to move around.

It would be just like old times, when she was all by herself.

Aizen was preparing to use the power of the creature to open a path to the spirit realms. Once he was done one of three things were going to happen. The first is that he will open up a path to the heavenly realms, the second was that the hogyoku would be completed and supercharged, the third was that he would get some very strong subordinates. By his standards, this was not a well put together plan.

Then again, this was also a unique opportunity. Beings with the power to shape the world around them like it was nothing did not show up very often. The only other ones that he knew of were that human girl, and who ever managed to damage the hogyoku as he was leaving soul society. The wolf was without a doubt the most powerful one though. He had captured it with out breaking so much as breaking a nail (not that it had put up much of a fight) and now it was the key to success.

Amaterasu on the other hand was waiting. She knew that kabegami did not like having her domain breached. She had told the cat god to wait until she was called before acting. So much time had passed since the Yami era that it had all but faded to obscure lore that only the oldest of the beast clans could recall. She had taken down the lord of darkness when he was whole. Trying to subjugate her or any of her children with only a small fragment was madness.

She had to give this man credit for creativity and ambition though.

She felt her own power getting sucked out of her and into the crystal and watched as the shard become whole once more. The walls between dimensions weakening as this happened. She could feel things shift as the ethereal glow of her pelt fade and forms began to emerge from the crystal. She took a deep breath. If anything was going to happen it would be now.

- Heed my call and come forth! - she called.

She had the honor of seeing Aizen speechless for the first time in a long time.

The hogyoku had become supercharged with power, too much power actually.

It still wouldn't have been enough to forcefully drag the gods from their realms with out Amaterasu's command.

The sphere cracked as the wall separating dimensions shattered and light filled the room.

Eleven animal gods that had just been summoned by their mother sat in a circle around Aizen and Amaterasu. They were all slightly disoriented from being forcefully dragged from the heavenly realms. They were slightly confused at seeing a shinigami speaking in front of them. At first they didn't deem him worth any notice. Then they noticed Amaterasu bound at his feet.

The first to rise was the phoenix god. White hot flames erupted from the ends of its feathers as it rose into the air. What would've normally been a pipe burst into flames and reformed into a sword. -Lady Amaterasu!-

The next to rise was the horse god. It's mane and tail becoming the breeze itself. The fan on its back remaining perfectly still despite the increasing wind blowing around it. -We have come as you called!-

Then the boar god rose. It shook off its confusion and a large bomb rose from beneath it. The sphere was a firecracker at first, but slowly, its form changed. Bright orange faded and became black, a fuse slowly replaced with a pin, the smooth became segmented, until the firecracker became a grenade. -What would you have us do?-

Amaterasu only sighed. -Humor this one for a while. Then go to Kabegami. Don't take too long. We will interact with him again.-

One by one the gods rose and they all bowed down to their leader.

Aizen, was pleased. The hogyoku had become more damaged because of this stunt but it was worth it. He now had twelve god like beings to command. He was pleasantly surprised when thirteen came to him instead of six like he had anticipated. It seems this wolf had much more power to it then he thought, even if nothing showed up during his tests and experiments.

"Gin. Kaname. Take these creatures to the new quarters. I have more to do" He commanded.

Once he was alone in the room with Amaterasu again, he started trying to use its power to repair the hogyoku.

Then she barked.

Aizen only had a moment to blink at the sudden action when the ground shook.

Amaterasu shook off the binding spell holding her (Not really) in place and hopped off the podium she was standing on.

She took one more look at him before dashing off and disappearing.

Today was not a good day because were weirdos wandering around soul society.

Keiko had decided to look for Yori again and as soon as she came out she saw the scariest thing. There were flowers growing out of people, and they all acted wrong.

She had discovered early on that anybody that was fighting and not using a zanpakuto was dangerous. Normally this is because someone doing well without a weapon against someone with a weapon, would be even better if they were using a weapon.

These people were using monsters to fight, which makes them even more dangerous. Their monster could fight and then they could fight.

Keiko was currently running away from one of them. It had seen her when she ducked underground and had been following her since. She had done everything she was told to do when being chased, kicking up dirt, shouting gibberish, not running in a straight line, Climbing back out of the tunnels in a different place, throwing sand in his face when light didn't blind him, and kicking him in the privates. Nothing had worked.

She had also tried some of the fancier things that she was taught. Like jumping from roof to roof or dashing but she gave that up quickly because it was tiring and getting tired right now would be bad. That and she wasn't actually fast enough to out speed him, only her size and natural agility had kept her safe up till this point.

"YOU LITTLE BRAT. GET BACK HERE" shouted the man.

She didn't know what the crazy man wanted with her, but she was sure it wouldn't be good.

The flower fox puppets that followed him kept shouting too. Only they yelled things like 'yes master' and 'Your wish is my command' instead of the bad words from the crazy man.

She didn't know which one was worse.

"Yori -nee! YORI -NEE! MAMA! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" She cried.

Keiko had been running for a while now. She didn't really know where she was and the crazy guy was catching up to her. She tried to go just a little bit faster but her lungs were on fire and her legs weren't working right.

She gave a small squeal when she felt rough hands grab her.

"You have been such a pain to catch." Said the man. He brought her to his face and snarled. "I WAS going to use you as a hostage but after the trouble you gave me, I think I'll eat you instead."

It took several moments for the words to sink in and Keiko lost it. She started thrashing and screamed. She tried to scream again but she felt hands wrap around her neck. She did not want to die. She didn't want to be eaten by this psychotic individual.

Unbeknownst to Keiko, she had infact managed to kick him several times in the sternum when she was thrashing about.

"Damn Brat" Hissed the man. He looked away for a few moments and seemed to find something more to his taste. "Tch, too much trouble. I got bigger fish to fry." Then he let her go.

Keiko took the opportunity to jump through the window of the nearest building and make herself scarce.

The moment their god had given the order all the gods unleashed their power at once. The result was carnage the likes of the defected captains had never seen. One quarter of las niches had been blown to dust. There wasn't a single trace of a castle existing. The false sky had been created to keep arranger from being creeped out by shooting stars had also been destroyed. Every thing caught in it had disappeared as well. It happened so fast that neither captain was exactly sure what had happened. They could feel the creatures moving about unseen.

"Ichimaru."

"Yeah?"

"This entire section of Las Noches just disappeared. Did you see what happened?"

"Just a whole lot o' fog and an earthquake."

"How troublesome."

"We'd better catch them."

"Indeed"

In the mean time, Aizen was irritated.

It had taken him quite some time to find the damn wolf again. He had found the wolf flooding the dungeons of las Noches with rain from god knows where. It looked like a war zone. Szayel had worked himself into a frenzy trying to figure out why there were shooting stars in a world where there were supposed to be none. Many others that had been caught in the rain had had parts of their body melted off.

This was getting ridiculous. Gin and Kaname were nowhere to be seen and he had better things to do then deal with arrancar. That wolf had to be punished.

"You will cooperate with me wolf." he commanded.

The wolf twisted his head behind him and drew a golden glaive.

A challenge

The wolf struck first. It dragged the glaive in a circle and unleashed a wave of light from that point. When Aizen blocked it with a barrier the wolf took the opportunity to strike at his back.

To Aizen's surprise it managed to cut him, even when he dodged. It was much faster then it appeared. He could't exactly tell how fast but it was obvious to him that it was holding back.

The wolf backed away for a few moments before lunging at him again. This time, it struck much faster. The wolf came at him with a cyclone around it.

"Hado number 33! Sokatsui!" he called. Launching a ball of energy at the beast, only to have it sent flying back at him faster then when it left.

That was interesting, it was the first definitive proof he had that the wolf was something special, he had chalked seeing past kyoka suigetsu to blinking before it was released as that used to happen when he practiced on animals. Up till this point he had more or less assumed that the only special about the beast was its intelligence. Countering Kido without a word was not something any ordinary being could do. Perhaps the wolf was from the beast clan like Komamura.

He couldn't think of much else before the cyclone was upon him and he felt the wind cut into him.

He and the wolf continued to dance around each other, a strike here, blast there, Aizen countering Amaterasu with kido, Amaterasu countering him with power slash, drawing crowds of various hollow and arranger, and blowing through walls. The hollows follow the strongest, to them this was a battle of supremacy. Aizen noted that if he lost he would be greatly inconvenienced as he would lose the majority of his subordinates.

"Wolf. Why do you oppose me? The spirit king has neglected this world and we all suffer for it." He asked as he lowered his sword. "I have the power to defeat the barriers that separate us from him. I can lift the banishment of your clan. I have the means to do so."

The wolf merely yawned and went to sleep, not that he noticed. He continued to preach his goals. "The Hōgyoku is able to manifest the desires of those around it. However, this manifestation will not be successful unless the possessors of those desires have the strength to carry it out. In a way, its ability might be better termed a 'guiding force'. However, it is a peculiar quality of living beings that when it comes to achieving those petty desires that their crude hearts enshrine, they tend to have remarkable levels of success. Don't you agree wolf?"

It was at this moment that he realized that the wolf had gone to sleep.

An awkward silence settled over the area. Nobody was quite sure what to make of this. Aizen was not accustomed to being ignored, people always acknowledged his presence, whether with awe and respect, or with fear and suspicion. His power and rank made it impossible for any other reaction to happen.

The wolf, noticing the sudden silence, woke up and stared for a few moments before getting up and walking through a hole in the wall. There was no need to fight again.

Ulquiorra moved to stop her when Aizen held up a hand "Leave it be. I will deal with that later." and began walking out of the dungeons.

He had drawn enough power from the wolf to repair the hogyoku. Not enough to wake it completely, but enough for his use.

Amaterasu walked until she came upon a tree. At least, it looked like a tree. It was the largest stone formation for hills around. That didn't matter much to her though. She bloomed it anyway.

Instead of regular living flowers, crystalline flowers of every color and shape bloomed from the branches. The light from Amaterasu's pelt reflected through the whole tree and glowing orbs flowed from it.

She walked up the tree and picked a few flowers she found satisfactory and put them away before bringing something that Hueco Mundo had never seen before.

She drew a circle behind the crystal tree and watched it happen.

A sunrise.

Author's note- Wow... That was tiring. I think I'm going to need a proof reader because I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting some details. Volunteers?

Much apologies for the delay. Microbiology exams tend to get in the way of writing. I guess its useful if i ever dive into squad 12. I recently realized that this story is my longest piece of writing ever. Really. I also discovered that i have no clue how to write an actual battle. I've never done that before. I can't really think of a way to make the fight epic either, seeing as I picture Ammy vs Aizen like I picture Ammy vs Waka. I can see the two of them dancing around each other, neither one willing to go all out. Followed by Aizen monologuing and Ammy taking a nap.

The sunrise thing was an experiment on my part. I'm pretty curious about the reactions of the hollows when they see a flowering 'tree' and the sun for the first time in forever. I may or may not write the reactions of everyone in Hueco Mundo. Let me know if i should.

Another thing, should I have the chibi brush gods? I mean having tons of gods running around is bound to be pretty funny, but it means more drabbles and fillers in the future. Not to mention i might loose track of some details.

As for Keiko, she's dealing with bounts. I'm not sure if I made that clear enough. Mabashi finds her as he's hunting down Soifon and figured that a little kid would either make a good hostage, or a old snack. So how did Keiko avoid being caught and eaten? Simple, she's tiny and she's being under estimated. She is more or less finding the smallest and most uncomfortable places, like under the steps, between buildings, through trees, etc. Plus, has anyone ever tried to hold a thrashing toddler? Those kids pack a wallop for their size!

Thanks much for the support! Comments and ideas are welcome.
