"All squads are to heed the alert and report immediately to their battle stations." Yamamoto said as all the other captains turn to leave.
Save by the security alarm, convenient timing eh Ichimaru." Aizen said and he stops right beside the third division's captain. "You do know that you won't get away with this don't you?" Aizen asked.
"Why don't you just come out and say it, you're not making much sense." Gin states. "Just remember don't underestimate me Ichimaru." Aizen warns the man before leaving.
As the captains all left, they failed to notice the pair of blood red eyes glowing ominously.
Separated Behind Enemy Lines
"What the hell is that up there?!" Renji asked as he and Byakuya looked up to the sky as a bright light headed towards the barrier.
All around the Seireitei other soul reapers witnessed this strange phenomenon and where starting to become anxious as it headed towards them.
"Whatever it is, the soul shield membrane should stop it." Captain Sōsuke Aizen said as he and his lieutenant watched as well.
"Still I think we should clear the area just in case." Lieutenant Momo Hinamori said.
"We're going to crash!" Uryu states as the cannon began to descend towards the barrier.
"Listen everyone the only way for us to survive this is by pouring all of your spirit energy into the cannon!" Yoruichi said as the cannon came in contact with the barrier.
(The group)
The cannon only took a few second before it broke through. However after it broke through, the cannon ball started to break apart.
"What's going on, we blasted through the shield but we are not going down!" Ichigo states. "We're just floating here!" He exclaims.
"Don't get separated! The cannon ball was destroyed by the shield, but residual energy will still hold us up until it dissolves." Yoruichi explained to the Rukia rescue team.
"And what'll happen then?" Uryu asked. "It will become a whirlpool, then explode and vanish." Yoruichi said startling both Tatsuki and Orihime.
"We must stick together, because anyone who gets separated will be blown away by the explosion!"
Suddenly, the air current started to pick up and began pushing the others out. "Grab the person next to you and hold on tight!" Yoruichi told them.
Chad grabbed Orihime and threw her to Tatsuki, Ichigo grabs Ganju and then chad grabs Uryu.
Naruto and Kukaku
"Well it looks like they've made it in, although them getting separated was something I had anticipated." Kukaku said as she and Naruto watched from a giant tree Naruto had created.
*Sigh* "It can't be helped, right now being split up will keep the enemy from easily capturing them."
"Besides this is the perfect chance for some real battle experience." Naruto said as his tree began to shrink down.
"You do know that in this kind of situation, being separated could also be their down fall if they end up facing the captains right off the bat." Kukaku said as she jumped from the tree.
It's precisely why* I attach that seal on each of them." Naruto said as he helped her up.
Well I guess this is goodbye then Kukaku-dono." Naruto said as he watched towards the gate.
"Yeah goodbye for now kid." Kukaku said as she walked back inside her house.
(Ichigo and Ganju)
When they landed, they created a crater filled with sand. *Spitting out sand* "Thanks to your goofy spell, we're now safe for the moment." Ichigo said in between spitting out sand.
"Ugh the sand went down the wrong pipe…" *Coughing* Ganju said. Ichigo then turned to the man and kicked him for his stupidity.
"How long are you going to sit there choking on your own spell?!" Ichigo asked.
*Growl* "You know you have a lot of balls kicking the guy that just saved your life." Ganju said as he jumped to his feet and turned towards Ichigo.
"The hell I do! I only said we were saved you got that." Ichigo said.
Suddenly, Ichigo felt two large spiritual signature coming from behind him.
"YAHOO! What luck!" a man said causing Ichigo and Ganju to turn towards were the voice was coming from.
There standing on the roof of a building were two Soul reapers. The two jumped down from the roof and addressed the two Ryoka.
"Can you believe this, first we skip out on our boring guard duty and then these two come falling into our hands." The first one said.
This reaper was an average sized man with his most noticeable feature being his shinning bald head.
The second Soul reaper wore an orange piece of clothing sits on top of his uniform around the neck, which covers most of his chest that would otherwise be exposed by his uniform.
This is connected to an orange sleeve on his right arm under the much looser fitting sleeve of the uniform.
He has colorful feathers on his right eyelashes and eyebrow.
He has shiny skin, purple eyes, and jaw-length black hair, which, in conjunction with the feathers, gives him a somewhat feminine appearance.
The man then began to sing and dance around about how lucky he was to find an opponent. "You on the other hand aren't so lucky." The man said while pointing his zanpakuto at Ichigo.
"Oh yeah." Ichigo said as the four face off.
(Chad and Uryu)
The soul reaper that were in the general vicinity of the second crater, couldn't find anything. Chad who was hiding in a tree watched as the reapers searched the vicinity looking for him.
"Okay so what now." He said Uryu who was standing behind the tree watching the reapers.
"We will just have to find information on Rukia and were she is being held." Uryu told chad.
(Tatsuki and Orihime)
"Ow my head." Tatsuki said as she sat up. "We're exactly did we land?" Tatsuki asked as she noticed at they were behind some building.
Tatsuki then turned to Orihime to see that the girl was asleep. "Hey Orihime, it's time to wake up." Tatsuke said.
"Uh… wait Naruto-kun that's no good, I don't think it's going to fit in there." Orihime said talking in her sleep.
'Fit! Orihime what the hell are you dreaming about!' Tatsuki thought.
"Wait be careful Naruto!" Orihime said sitting up so fast that she almost head butted Tatsuki in the face.
"Ouch that hurts." Orihime said grabbing her arm. "Orihime are you alright, here let me see." Tatsuki said as she inspected the injury.
"I'm ok it's just a scratch, I'll be able to heal it in no time." Orihime said as her hand started glowing as she placed it over her wound.
It only took a few seconds for Orihime to heal her arm, something that still amazed Tatsuki. "Sorry Orihime you got hurt when you protected me from the fall with your shield." Tatsuki said while placing her hand on Orihime's shoulder.
"Don't blame yourself Tatsuki-chan, you know I'm such a klutz and I probably would have gotten hurt anyway." Orihime said nonchalance about it causing Tatsuki to gain a sweat drop on the back of her head.
'That's not something you should be so nonchalance about Orihime.' Tatsuki thought. "What's the matter Tatsuki-chan I'm I being weird?" Orihime asked her best friend.
"No of course not, let's just get going." Tatsuki said. "We've made a lot of noise when we landed, so let's leave before we attract a crowd." Tatsuki suggests.
"Alright let's go." Orihime said as she and Tatsuki left the area.
As they left the area, the two girls failed to notice that they were being watched.
(Yoruichi)
"It's coming this way!" Izuru Kira said as he and a group of soul reapers ran to were the intruder would land.
"Now get ready!" Izuru said as a beam of spirit energy came flying towards them.
Suddenly, before they had a chance to attack, the beam vanished into thin air.
"Huh? What just happened?" one of the reapers asked their lieutenant Izuru.
"It disappeared." Another reaper said.
"Dammit split up and find them." Izuru commanded as they left the area.
Up on the roof of one of the large buildings, Yoruichi watched as the reapers searched for her.
"Well it looks like I'm on my own for now and something tells me it might be better this way." Yoruichi said as she headed to her secret training place.
(Naruto)
"Ah I found it." Naruto said as he found the area where the cannon ball entered the barrier.
The spot was considerably weaker that the rest of the barrier and Naruto planned to use that to get in while everyone in the Seireitei where to focus on his group.
"Now then it's time to begin." Naruto said as he unsheathes his second sword. The blade started to glow red.
"I'll have to thank that mutt for teaching me this later." Naruto said as he held his sword above his head.
Naruto then swung his sword down on the barrier slashing a hole big enough to allow him to slip through before it repaired itself.
"Let's see now, should I go meet up with Yoruichi, should I reveal myself to some reapers and torment them or should I go see squad two barrages?" Naruto thought as he floated around below the barrier.
He wasn't too worried about people seeing him as he was conceiting himself in a cloak of purified yokai.
"I guess I'll go to meet Suì-Fēng-chan then." Naruto said before turning into a beam of light and flying away.
(Ichigo vs. Ikkaku)
"HYAA!" Ikkaku exclaimed as he lunged at Ichigo, attempting to cleave him in half. Ichigo sidestepped the attack.
'He dodged it.' Ikkaku thought as Ichigo jumped away from the third seat to create some distance between them.
"HRAA!" Ichigo growled out as he rushed Ikkaku. 'Heh he moves well.' Ikkaku thought as a grin spread across his face.
Ichigo swung his Zangetsu at Ikkaku's head. Ikkaku blocked Ichigo's sword with his sheathe, much to the substitute reaper's surprise.
Ikkaku then swung his Zanpakuto with his other hand. Thinking on his feet, Ichigo used Ikkaku's Sheathe as a springboard to jump over him and onto the roof.
Ichigo then jumped off the roof and swung his Zangetsu at Ikkaku, who jumped back. Ichigo then tried to bisect him at the waist but Ikkaku dodged by jumping over his soul cutter.
Ichigo then tried again but Ikkaku blocked Zangetsu with his sword and sheathe. Ikkaku then pushed Ichigo back and started stabbing at him with both his sword and sheathe.
Ichigo manages to dodge each stab and flipped over him, as they both swung their swords at each other's heads.
*Blood Splatter*
*Blood hitting the ground* "At least… tell me your name." Ikkaku said as blood flowed from a cut upon his eye created.
*Blood splattering on the ground* "It's Ichigo Kurosaki." Ichigo introduced himself as blood also flowed from a cut above his eye created by Ikkaku's sword.
"Ah Ichigo, that's a good name." Ikkaku said complimenting Ichigo.
"You think so? No one has ever told me that before." Ichigo said.
Yeah they say that guys with Ichi in their names are overflowing with talent and good looks, at least that is what I've heard." Ikkaku said.
"I'm third seat of the strongest squad in the Seireitei squad 11, Ikkaku Madarame." Ikkaku said as he got into his Zanjutsu fighting stance.
"Well Ichi, what say we be friends." Ikkaku said with a huge grin on his face.
"Heh ain't gonna happen." Ichigo said mirroring the man's grin.
"Heh well that's too bad." Ikkaku said before slamming the end of his sword handle against the end of his sheathe.
Extend Hōzukimaru!" Ikkaku proclaimed as his weapon and sheath became a Kikuchi Yari.
(Tatsuki and Orihime)
Tatsuki and Orihime both peeked out from behind one of the many buildings in the Seireitei, to see if the coast was clear for them to get away without being seen.
"Hey I hear running Orihime get back." Tatsuki said as they both ducked back behind the building.
"Damn no sign of the Ryoka in this sector." One of the reapers informed his group.
"Dammit we caused quite the commotion getting in and now with all these guards hounding our asses, it will be heard to meet back up with Ichigo and the others." Tatsuki said not noticing that Orihime wasn't there.
'I wonder if Naruto has gotten in already, I wish he would have at least allowed me and Orihime to stay with him and then separated once we were all in here.' Tatsuki thought.
"Okay get ready Orihime, on my mark we are going to take them out before they get the chance to see our face… Huh." Tatsuki said as she finally noticed that Orihime was gone.
"Orihime… where are you?" Tatsuki calls out in a whisper. "Goddammit where has that girl gone off to?" Tatsuki asked herself while rubbing the back of her head.
Suddenly, Tatsuki heard Orihime call out her name. "Tatsuki help they're after me!" Orihime exclaims as she comes running with a group of soul reapers behind her.
"What the hell!" Tatsuki exclaimed as she grabbed Orihime's hand and bolted away from the soul reapers.
"Dammit Orihime what did you do!?" Tatsuki asked her best friend.
"I'm sorry, I just walked down that alley to take a look around and they spotted me.
"Well I guess it's about time we take they bastards down, are you ready Orihime?" Tatsuki asked as they both skidded to a stop.
"Yeah!" Orihime proclaimed as she and Tatsuki turned on their heels and rushed the group.
"HYAAA!" The two shouted as they punched the first two reapers in the stomach hard enough to knock them into unconsciousness.
They then run towards the others and hit them in the neck and Tatsuki even kicked a guy in the balls hard enough that it actually made him pass out.
"Nicely done Hime." Tatsuki said as they high fived.
"That was way easier than I had thought it would be, I have to say I'm a little happy it was." Orihime said as she stretched her arms above her head.
"Now let's get the hell out of her." Tatsuki said as they tried to leave the area.
"There they are!" another larger group of reapers came running towards the Tatsuki and Orihime.
"What the… there are more!" Tatsuki exclaimed as she and Orihime started to turned and escape another way.
"We've got you now!" Shouted yet another group that was headed towards them.
"Oh you have got to be shitting me!" Tatsuki proclaimed as she grabbed Orihime's hand and the two ran the one direction that didn't have reapers racing towards them.
As they escaped the reaper groups all collided with each other all the while shouting for the heads of the intruders and kicking up a lot of dust.
(Chad and Uryu)
"What's is that?" Uryu asked as he took notice of the dust cloud that was coming from an area of the Seireitei that was relatively close to their current position.
Suddenly, Chad jumped down from the tree he was in and started to head in the general direction of the dust cloud.
"Hey Chad where are you going?!" Uryu shouts as he chases after the giant.
'That cloud of dust must be Ichigo's doing.' Chad thought as Uryu ran after him.
"Hey Chad wait up!" Uryu called out.
(Ichigo vs. Ikkaku)
Ikkaku stared at the broken end of his Hōzukimaru. Ikkaku was extremely shocked that Ichigo had just broke a piece of his Shikai.
Ever since Ikkaku released his Zanpakuto, he had the upper hand in the fight. However, it seemed that the longer the fight dragged on the more Ichigo began to adapt to fighting him.
"What's the matter Ikkaku? You look like you've just seen a ghost." Ichigo said as he got Ikkaku's attention.
"I hope you haven't lost the will to fight all of a sudden, but if you don't attack I will." Ichigo proclaims shocking Ikkaku even more.
Ichigo then jumps high into the air and raises Zangetsu above his head.
"I'll tell you one last time Ikkaku!" Ichigo said as Ikkaku reconnected his zanpakuto.
"The one who won't be able to hold their sword, is you!" Ichigo proclaimed as he slashed Hōzukimaru in two.
Ikkaku stared at his Hōzukimaru with a horrified look on his face, not being able to comprehend what just happened.
Then without out warning, a huge gash appeared on his chest and blood erupted from the wound.
'This… this can't be.' Ikkaku as the stared at Ichigo how had his sword at the ready.
Ikkaku then threw the useless part of his Shikai to the side and got ready to clash with Ichigo again.
"Heh I guess you think that this is over, but you're dead wrong." Ikkaku proclaimed.
"This battle will never end… as long as I can hold my sword." Ikkaku said as he began to swirl his sword over his head.
"Cause the only way I'm putting down Hōzukimaru is if you cut off my arm!" Ikkaku declared as Ichigo glared at him.
"Don't make me do this." Ichigo said wanting this one-sided fight to end so that he could go look for Ganju and the others.
"What you don't have the stomach for it?" Ikkaku asked trying to bate Ichigo into attacking.
"Why don't you face the fact that this fight is over, you can't win and you know it" Ichigo said.
"Not a chance this battle isn't over yet, and it's not going to be until one off us is dead." Ikkaku declares before charging at Ichigo, while swing his Zanpakuto above his head.
As Ichigo watch Ikkaku run towards him, he saw an image of Kisuke Urahara replace Ikkaku for just a split second and Ichigo attacked Ikkaku.
"You're too slow!" Ichigo proclaimed as he shattered the last part of Hōzukimaru into pieces and gave Ikkaku a second gash with this new one on his arms.
"Well you are strong, I'll give you that." Ikkaku said as he dropped down to one knee.
*Grunt* "I guess I'm unlucky after all." Ikkaku mumbled to himself before falling unconscious.
"This wasn't a lucky day for either of us, if you ask me." Ichigo said.
(An hour later)
Ikkaku finally regained consciousness, to find that most of his injuries had been treated. This confused Ikkaku since he had thought that he was going to die.
"Ah I see that you are finally awake." Ichigo called out to the third seat.
"Ichigo… what are you doing, why are you still here?" Ikkaku asked.
"Well I learned something, that zanpakuto revert back to their sealed state just as soon as it's owner falls unconscious." Ichigo said as Ikkaku finally noticed that Ichigo held his zanpakuto.
"My Hōzukimaru, hey give it back to me!" Ikkaku demanded although it came off less threatening when you realize that he could barely move.
"Oh relax would ya, I'm not going to take it from you I only used it's ointment to heal both our wounds although there is none left." Ichigo informed the third seat.
Ikkaku eyes widen at this information and looked down at his chest to see that Ichigo was telling the truth.
I have to admit that was some pretty amazing ointment you have." Ichigo said.
"Bastard you had no right to do that." Ikkaku said.
"Are you kidding, sure it's all gone now, but it did save your life." Ichigo said.
"That is exactly the point!" Ikkaku exclaimed confusing Ichigo.
"Now you've denied me the glory of dying in battle, after being so thoroughly defeated, how I can possibly live on now, in this humiliation." Ikkaku said to Ichigo.
Ichigo stayed silent as Ikkaku ranted, letting the man vent his frustrations.
"Dammit Ichigo if I could get up right now I would beat you to a bloody pulp." Ikkaku declared.
"What an idiot, obviously I shouldn't have even bothered saving your life in the first place, however whether or not you appreciate my act of kindness doesn't really matter to me." Ichigo said as he stood up and glared down at his beaten opponent.
"I just need some answers from you." Ichigo said with a look on his face that said you better tell me what I want to know or else.
*Tsk* "I knew there was something more to this, I am unlucky." Ikkaku mused to himself as Ichigo walked over to where he was lying.
"So what is it that you want from me, is it my birthday?" Ikkaku asked with a sarcastic edge in his voice.
"I want Rukia Kuchiki… where is she?"
(Tatsuki and Orihime)
Hey look up there, they're close but we can't go this way!" Yachiru said pointing towards the fireworks in the sky as she and Kenpachi Zaraki stood at a dead end.
"I thought all along that you should have turned right at that last corner." Yachiru said much to Zaraki's dismay.
"But it was your idea to come this way!" Zaraki retorts angrily. He was irritated because he had yet to find any Ryoka to fight.
"Hey come on Kenny, it's not like you to blame someone else!" Yachiru said with a pout on her face.
"See that was close, its right over there!" Yachiru said while pointing where the fireworks went off at.
Kenpachi then kicks a hole in one of the buildings and headed in the direction that Yachiru pointed out for him.
Up on the roof on a large building, Tatsuki and Orihime watched as Kenpachi and Yachiru left the vicinity.
"They're gone aren't they?" Orihime asked Tatsuki who nodded her head.
"That guys was extremely powerful, I don't think we would stand a chance against him as we are now." Tatsuki told Orihime.
"It's good that he didn't see us." Orihime said as she and Tatsuki stood up.
"Like Ichigo and Naruto, the guy as incredible strength, but unlike Naruto his powers of observation seem to be low." Tatsuki said.
"We should get going soon, but the problem is we don't know where we should go from here." Tatsuki mused.
"Well then how's about we go that why, I see a tower in the distance." Orihime suggested.
"Yeah that might be where they are holding Rukia…" Tatsuki suddenly rushed towards Orihime and knocked her out of the way just as a reaper tried to cut her in two.
As soon as the man's sword hit the roof, he created a hole in it.
"Hm I didn't touch her." The man said before turning to find both Tatsuki and Orihime standing on the other side of the building.
"Bastard what's the big idea attacking a girl from behind like that?!" Tatsuki angrily asks the man.
"Are you hurt Orihime?" Tatsuki asked Orihime who nodded her head.
"I'm impressed that you were able to dodge me at close range, very good." The reaper complimented the girls.
"If I had passed and would have not crossed this way, then you might have lived a while longer." The reaper informed them.
"Rather unfortunate, however I've give you to the count of ten to give you some time to regret.
(Yoruichi)
"I sense clashes of spiritual energy everywhere." The black cat said as her group's spiritual energy steady raise in the Seireitei.
(Rukia)
"Mistress I can sense the energy of your friends." Sode no Shirayuki informed Rukia.
"They are currently battling the lesser soul reapers and seem to by winning easily.
Rukia who was staring out the window of the tower turned to her zanpakuto.
"I see and what of Naruto can you feel his yokai anywhere?" Rukia asked as a big smile spread across her face, feeling a little happy that Ichigo and the other where okay.
'However I wonder if Naruto can pull off his plan before it's too late."
(Orihime and Tatsuki)
Tatsuki and Orihime glared at the man as he held his sword in a Zanjutsu stance.
Orihime had the Shun-shun Rikka floating around her while Tatsuki had her blades extended.
"Ah how interesting, one holds a weapon that feels similar to Zanpakuto and the other uses an unfamiliar skill." The soul reaper said.
"Tatsuki allow me to be the first to fight him." Orihime said surprising Tatsuki.
"Are you sure Orihime, you're not planning on using that are you?" Tatsuki asked her friend who nodded her head.
"I see then I'll back you up." Tatsuki said as she took a fighting stance.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, now it's time for me to end this, hope you had enough time to reflect on your grief." The soul reaper said.
"Here he comes Orihime." Tatsuki said. "Right I'm ready for him this time." Orihime said as she unsheathe the little dagger.
"And now the time has come for you to experience another form of regret." The man said as he launched himself at both Orihime and Tatsuki.
The male soul reaper then swung his sword down at them, attempting to kill them in one blow.
Orihime and Tatsuki both dodged the man with ease. "Is that the best you've got soul reaper?" Tatsuki asked the man.
The soul reaper then threw some dust at Tatsuki getting some in her eye. She ended up rolling to the edge of the building and had to grab the ledge or she would have fallen off.
"Tatsuki! Are you alright?!" Orihime asked Tatsuki.
"Yeah I'm good, hey bastard that was a dirty trick.
"Hm weak little girls have no business trying to lecture me.
"You jerk, I won't for give you, for what you did to Tatsuki!" Orihime declared.
"Now then, allow me the opportunity to end your regrettable misfortune with your death." He said before attacking Orihime again.
"Orihime be careful!" Tatsuki warned her friend.
'Okay, now it's time for a little ninja training 101, surface walking.' Tatsuki thought as she started to concentrate a steady flow of Chakra into her feet.
Orihime dodged the man's wild slashes with relative ease. 'I mustn't just dodge his attacks I have to fight him head on.'
"Tsubaki!" Orihime called, summoning her familiar, shocking the soul reaper.
"Finally, it's show time, aim well.' The little spirit commanded.
The soul reaper had a smug look on his face as he noticed the little spirit, something that Orihime also noticed.
"Koten Zanshun I reject!" Orihime exclaimed has Tsubaki shot towards the reaper. The man was less than impressed and cut Tsubaki down and sending him flying.
"No Tsubaki!" Orihime exclaimed as she catches her little familiar.
*grunt* "You stupid girl, why did you hesitate?!" Tsubaki asked her before he disappeared back into the pins on Orihime's head.
I have never seen a move like that before, and yet I sense no murderous intent, in it,
"Although you might be able to lesser hollows, however it will never work against me."
Now then Time to die!" the reaper exclaimed as he swung his sword down at Orihime.
"Heads up you bastard!" Tatsuki exclaimed as she kicked the reaper in the face, sending him flying to the other end of the roof.
The reaper then gets a smug grin on his face, I see that I don't have to hold back against you girls." The soul reaper said as he held his hand on the tip of his zanpakuto.
"Now then it's time to show you the true form of my Zanpakuto." The man said.
"Time to spread your wings, Tsunzakigarasu!" the reaper proclaimed as his sword separated into countless flying curved blades.
"So what do you think, time to lament?" The reaper asked.
"I am the fourth seat of squad seven, I'm Jirōbō Ikkanzaka, also known as Jirōbō of the slicing wind." Jirōbō self-proclaimed.
"My nickname wind scythe proves that I'm the most skilled when it comes to projectile weapons." The man boasted.
"I see, then I guess I shouldn't hold back anymore as well." Orihime proclaimed as she held her dagger in front of her and swirled it around in the palm of her hand.
"Dance under the moonlit sky Tsukihime!"
