Aizen feels Leeloo and Leelaa's spiritual pressure disappear completely.
"Oh no Ulquiorra-kun is dead." Sang Gin
"What has happened to them?" asked Aizen
"They've gone deeper into the abyss. There they will fully reach their potential." Answered Tousen
"Small price to pay eh Aizen?"
"Indeed." Aizen smiled.
Stark and Lilinette had merged together. Halibel is still fighting with Captain Hitsugaya. As Ukitake joins Kyoraku Wonderweiss appears and gravely injures Ukitake. Wonderweiss summons Fura which frees Aizen, Gin and Tousen from the fiery cell. It seems as the captains were about to be defeated but the visoreds came into play.
"Hey, long time no see Aizen."
"Captain Hirako." Aizen smiles
All the visoreds had split up to help the already wounded captains leaving Shinji with Aizen. Shinji attacks Aizen but as he is about to make contact he is blocked by two unknown new characters. Shinji looks at Aizen who is smiling.
"Captain Hirako I would like you to meet Leeloo and Leelaa, my personal twin demon hunters."
Shinji looked at the twins. He immediately noticed their wrappings around their torso.
"Women? Seriously Aizen are ya that scared that you need two women to protect ya?"
He hadn't realized it because the twins were wearing their masks and had concealed their hair in a long brown spikey wig making them seem wild. The glowing red eyes and evil smile painted on their masks however did give Shinji a warning sign.
"Not just any twins Captain Hirako. I'm sure you'll remember them quiet fondly actually. Leeloo, Leelaa would you do the honors."
"Hai Aizen-sama."
Their voice sounded distorted like a hollows. Shinji looked on with caution as the two moved their hand towards their mask. They began to gently remove them when Shinji looked on in horror at the realization.
"TAK?"
Her eyes were glowing red and her whites were black just like Shinji's eyes turned when he summoned his mask but his eyes turned yellow while theirs were red.
Leeloo and Leelaa eyes seemed cold and bloodthirsty and their smiles revealed a pair of fangs. They put their mask back on unfazed that Shinji was the one they had to fight.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THEM?"
"I only put things back the way they were. You see Tak and Gaz were nothing more but an illusion, Leeloo and Leelaa are the real thing." He smiled
"YOU BASTARD!"
He attacked Aizen but was blocked by Leeloo who was using her sheathed sword. He jumped back not wanting to hurt her.
"Tak it's me, Shinji. Don't ya remember?"
He looked at her as she held up her sheathed sword. She tilted her head to the side. The expression on her mask bothered him. He wanted to see her face, her green eyes. Not the red eyes that hungered for blood.
"I would be careful Captain Hirako, the twins are not to be taken on lightly."
"I can see that." Shinji snapped
"SHINJI!"
Shinji and Leeloo looked towards the person who had yelled. Immediately Shinji heard a growl come from Leeloo. Shinji looked at Leelaa but she wasn't next to Aizen anymore she was attacking him. He blocked her attack and was able to see Leeloo attacking Kensei.
"Gaz please stop!"
But he didn't get a reply from her, her sheathed sword rained down on him causing him to step back.
"You're not da one I want!"
"And what makes you think she wants you?" Leelaa spat at him
"I love her!"
"What makes you think saying it to her now would make a difference. You left her, you hurt her! You don't deserve her!" she yelled at him
Her strikes increased in power and her speed as well. He was amazed on how powerful she was and her sword wasn't even unsheathed. As he fought her he noticed that she wasn't even using her sonido.
"Please Gaz."
"It's Leelaa!" she snapped
"Leelaa, you don't know how much it has pained me to lose her."
"It's too late for that, way too late."
Leelaa unsheathed her sword. Shinji noticed how her aura grew darker. She disappeared, he reacted to slow. She had used her hilt of her sword to hit him in his stomach. Her elbow came down at the back of his neck causing him to fall to the ground. She went after him with her sword pointed towards him ready to impale him as he tried to get up. The ground exploded, he had been able to dodge it.
As the dust cleared she noticed him with his mask. Now he used his sonido to attack her. He pushed her back with his sword and kicked her on her chest causing her to crash into a wall. Shinji disregarded her and went after Leeloo who was currently fighting Kensei.
Leeloo was able to jab Kensei on his shoulder blade with her finger tips causing him great pain. He struggled to breathe and was trying to block her next attack when Shinji tackled Leeloo to the ground. She had been able to get free from his grasp making Shinji land on the cold hard ground by himself. She turned to see Leelaa fighting Kensei but the damage had been done already. Leelaa had the upper hand.
Leeloo turned to look down towards Shinji but he caught her by surprise as he had his mask and used his sonido to catch her off guard. Leeloo had been too slow. His sword had shattered her mask. Her mask disintegrated and her wig fell off her as well revealing her spikey blue hair that whipped wildly around her. Shinji was pleased but her eyes remained the same.
"Tak." He whispered her name.
"My name is Leeloo." She spat at him
Shinji didn't know what to do. He didn't want to hurt her but she was a threat whether he liked it or not. But as he looked into her eyes she seemed sad.
"Leeloo." He whispered sadly
She glared at him.
"I'm sorry for what I did that night." He said as he blocked her powerful blows.
"Tak is dead." She smiled at him.
Aizen wasn't too far off. He could tell that Leeloo wasn't holding back but Leelaa on the other hand was more hesitant, she hadn't been when she was fighting Shinji but facing Kensei was a different story. But there was something in Leeloo that seemed off, she was distracted. As he looked onto the battlefield he knew why. The visoreds that were helping the captains were now getting the upper hand. As he looked on he turned to Leeloo who had stopped her attacks.
Leeloo was about to attack Shinji who she had been able to disable with a jab she had giving him on his left arm causing him temporary paralysis but as she felt Stark be defeated, another family member, she froze giving Shinji the opportunity to knock her out.
He was holding her close to him whispering to her. She looked at peace and like her old self.
"I don't know why you can't bring yourself to believe that the one you are holding isn't Tak."
Shinji turned to Aizen.
"I don't know what you did ta her but whatever it is I'll bring her back."
"I guess it's story time Captain. You see Leeloo and Leelaa are hollows, twin demon hunters. They killed for me and would gladly do it without a second thought. Their brother and from where they originated was my No.4 Espada, Ulquiorra Cifer. Actually Leeloo originated from Ulquiorra, Leelaa originated from Leeloo. And they are connected to my No.1 Espada, Stark, which is why his defeat has caused an impact on their being. It was expected since they had just recently lost their brother."
Shinji looked down at Leeloo, now he understood why her eyes held sadness.
"But that is just a minor setback; they'll be back and twice as powerful."
Shinji looked down at Leeloo, maybe she was a hollow but it didn't change his feelings towards her. The news had not changed a single thing the way he felt towards her, even if she didn't return the feelings or tried to kill him, he still loved her.
Shinji set her down on the ground gently. He returned his attention towards Aizen but he was nowhere to be seen. He had gone to Halibel and killed her. Aizen and Gin got ready to fight the Captains and visoreds.
Shinji looked down at Leeloo.
"Hey."
Kensei appeared with an unmasked Leelaa, she too was knocked out.
"Let's leave them here and hope they don't regain consciousness soon." Said Kensei
"Yeah."
They placed Leelaa beside Leeloo. Shinji caressed her cheek and gently kissed her lips. They left them there and returned to the fight at hand.
Everyone faced Aizen. He stood before them, smiling. He began to provoke them causing Hiyori to attack but she was badly injured by Gin. Shinji begins to fight Aizen while Tousen takes on his former Lt. and Captain Komamura. Tousen is defeated by his Lt. at the end.
Ichigo along with Captain Unohana arrive at the fake Karakura town. Unohana quickly starts healing the wounded as Ichigo and the remaining Captains and Visored face Aizen.
