Warning: This is a very brutal story with a lot of deaths and gross scenes. I will make this rated T for now, but the rating may change to M real soon.
Recap:
After Palu Gulpur single handedly broke Sosuke Aizen out of prison, Palu took Aizen to desert where Palu brought back all of Aizen's followers and the Gotei Thirteen Court Guard Squad's enemies back to life. Aizen kills Palu after he reveals that if the resurrected die a second, they will be permanently dead. In his dying moments Palu brings back several dead Gotei 13 members who are Aizen's enemy. One of them is Gin, who sacrifices himself to allow the other resurrected Soul Reapers to escape the Espada. However, Gin survives and takes refuge in the human world. Over the course of the next week one of the resurrected Soul Reapers went rogue and was eventually killed by Kenpachi Zaraki. The resurrected Kaname Tosen became seriously injured, Sosuke Aizen revealed to Stark that Palu was Sosuke's brother, and the Head Captain decided to remove Zaraki Kenpachi from his Captain position. After a short battle between members of Division Eleven and Toshiro; Zaraki, Yachiru, Yumichika, and Ikkaku fled the Soul Society. A mysterious man revealed to Ichigo that he had a message from Aizen and warned Ichigo about Aizen's new army, and Urahara deducts that Aizen is planning an invasion as the mysterious man flash stepped away from the Society laughing. The Shiba family barely avoided a tragedy. Hisagi successfully achieved bankai with the help of Yoruichi and Renji. After a series of duels, Aizen revealed the new Espada rankings. Aizen also announced his plans to invade and re-conquer Hueco Mundo on the first day of summer. This is part of his master plan to take over the whole society. Both the shinigami and Aizen's army prepare for combat for several weeks without any conflicts, and at the end of the last chapter it is revealed that the first day of summer is only two weeks away.

Aizen, Ulquiorra, and Stark talked quietly in a private room. Ulquiorra said,
"With the invasion taking place in two weeks, I need to know if there is any extra training that any soldier needs Lord Aizen? Aizen responded to this by saying,
"No Ulquiorra, every soldier is strong enough that they could handle themselves now."
"Lord Aizen, are you sure about that? There are some gilliads and arrancars that could use some extra training." Replied Ulquiorra.
"Trust me Ulquiorra, every soldier contains the strength of a Lieutenant. Every soldier ranked better than thirty contains more strength then a captain. Every Espada contains enough strength to single handedly take on the Gotei Thirteen Court Guard squads and win. This is due being resurrected. This is due to my brother." Said Aizen.
"I know Lord Aizen." Said Ulquiorra. "You told me about Palu last month."
"And just to make sure," said Aizen, "Nobody outside of this room knows the truth about Palu." Stark and Ulquiorra nodded in response. Aizen then said, "That is good."
Sosuke Aizen was about to walk out of the room when Ulquiorra said,
"Before you leave Lord Aizen, Stark and I came up with an idea we want to share with you. This idea will ensure us victory." Aizen then said,
"Tell me about your idea Ulquiorra." Ulquiorra proceeded to tell Aizen about his and Stark's idea. Aizen was very intrigued.
Location: Division One Headquarters
Current date: One Week Before Summer
The Head Caption stood in front of the Captains and Lieutenants. Everyone was focused and the Head Captain began to speak,
"As many of you know, we have received messages that an invasion will most likely take place on the first day of summer. We do not know where this invasion will be however, so I have decided to split up our forces. There are five possible locations that Aizen will invade. These five locations are the World of the Living, The Valley of Screams, Hueco Mundo, the Rukon Districts, and here in the Soul Society. I am under the impression the Valley of Screams will not be invaded, so I will not be assigning any of you to defend it. The Visords have been assigned to defend to Rukon Districts along with any officers that are forth through twelfth seeds. The World of the Living will guarded by Captain Urahara and his lieutenant (Ichigo), Yoruichi and her lieutenant (Izuru), Uryu Ishida and his father, Yasutora Sado, Orihime Inoue, Isshin Kurosaki and his daughters, and any employee of the Urahara Shop. Hueco Mundo will be guarded by Captain Kyoraku and his lieutenant, Captain Ukitake and his lieutenant (Rukia), Captain Byakuya and his lieutenant, Captain Hitsuguya and his lieutenant, and Captain Hisagi along with his lieutenant. I will be standing guard right here along with Captain Sui-Feng and her lieutenant, my lieutenant, Captain Unohana and her lieutenant, Captain Komamura and his lieutenant, Captain Kurotsuchi and his leuitenant, every third seated officer in the Gotei Thirteen, Ganju Shiba and Kukaku Shiba, and any resurrected Soul Reaper that is willing to fight. I hope you all understand this."
The Captains and lieutenants nodded in approval. The Head Captain the said,
"The number of resurrected Soul Reapers will be limited seeing as Kaname Tosen still has not awakened from his coma, Miyako Shiba being in a disturbing emotional state, and that Kaien Shiba is no where to be scene. Whether or not they fight thought it would not matter. In one week, we will take down Aizen once and for all."
While the Soul Reapers approved of this plan, there was no cheering. Suddenly portals opened around the Soul Reapers, and the Head Captain instructed everyone that these portals would take the Soul Reapers to their location. Silently, the Captains and lieutenants entered their selected portals. The portals closed and the Head Captain had a determined look on his face.
Location: Desert
Current date: One Day Before Summer
Every single soldier sat in the dome, and Aizen proceeded to make his final speech before the invasion. Aizen said,
"Tomorrow, we will invade Hueco Mundo, and re-conquer what is ours." Aizen's army cheered at this and Aizen continued, "I have faith in every single one of you that you will make me proud and bring honor to yourselves." Aizen's army cheered again and Aizen continued to speak, "As many of you all know, I will be leading the front lines, so follow my every instruction." Aizen then looked at Stark and Ulquiorra and said, "I am done with my speech, tomorrow we will be victorious. Now I am going to allow Stark and Ulquiorra to explain one of the strategies we will be using."
Aizen smiled as Stark and Ulquiorra explained their plan to all of the soldiers. He was ready to exact his revenge on the shinigami and everyone else that opposed him.
Current date: First Day Of Summer
All of the Soul Reapers, Visords, and Quincy manned their positions and waited for Aizen. In the World of the Living, Ichigo stared up into the sky, hoping that Aizen would appear so he could kill him. In the Soul Society, several of the Captain's waited in anticipation. It was the same in the Rukon Districts and in Hueco Mundo.
In Hueco Mundo, Jushiro Ukitake talked to Kyoraku and Nanao. Both Kyoraku and Nanao remark that Rukia did not enter the portal with them, meaning she was not in Hueco Mundo. Ukitake responded to this by saying,
"Personally I believe that Aizen will invade the Soul Society, and if that is indeed the case, I want the lieutenant of my division to be there to defend it. Personally, I hope my judgment is wrong; I would rather face Aizen then risk her health."
Ukitake and Kyoraku looked up into the sky. They stared at the darkness in disbelief when suddenly a garganta appeared and opened. Several yells and shrieks came form other Captains and Lieutenants warning each other to get ready to battle. Kyoraku looked at Ukitake and said,
"Looks like you got you wish." Ukitake, Kyoraku, and Nanao stared at the open garganta. That is when a very familiar voice said,
"I am back you shabby shinigami." Sosuke Aizen walked out of the garganta, stood in mid air, and pulled out his sword with an evil grin on his face.
TO BE CONTINUED
The Battle Of Hueco Mundo has now begun. This war will last at least ten chapters. I will post the next chapter in a couple of days. I hope you all enjoy the war and the epic battles that come with it.
