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 transported 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. Eventually Aizen confirms this by announcing his plans to his new army. For the next two months both the arrancars and the shinigami train for the invasion. Hisagi successfully achieved bankai with the help of Yoruichi and Renji and after a series of duels, Aizen revealed the new Espada rankings. One week before summer the members of the Gotei Thirteen split up to guard various locations from Aizen's army. On the first day of summer the Captains and Lieutenants assigned to guard Hueco Mundo talked amongst themselves when a garganta appears in the sky. Aizen walked out of the garganta and pulled out his sword.
Chapter 26: The Battle Of Hueco Mundo Begins
Location: Hueco Mundo
Current date: First Day Of Summer
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. Aizen turned back to the garganta and lifted his sword up into the air. Several Espada proceeded to exit the garganta and stand behind Aizen. The members of the Espada that were present then walked in front of Aizen. Aizen then said,
"Stark, Ulquiorra, Nnoitra, Zommari, Rudbornn, and Kageroza. Show no mercy. Defeat as many of the shinigami as you can. Make their blood splatter and stomp on their ashes. The six Espada members said,
"Yes Lord Aizen."
Back on the ground, the shinigami strategize. Ukitake said,
"Should we attack the Espada or attack Aizen." Hisagi said,
"Three of you should attack Aizen and the rest of us should fight the Espada." That is when Toshiro said in a serious tone,
"Every Captain here is to fight Aizen and all of the Lieutenants are to fight the Espada. When backup comes more the shinigami will fight the rest of the soldiers. That was the order the Head Captain gave me before we left the Soul Society. Every Captain is to ignore the Espada."
"I don't really think that is a smart idea." Said Kageroza. Toshiro turned around only to see Kageroza's sword up in the air. Kageroza swung his sword down at Toshiro. Toshiro barely had enough time to pull out his sword and defend himself." Toshiro asked in shock,
"Kageroza. You have been resurrected too Kageroza?"
"Yes, I have." Said Kageroza. Kageroza then looked up into the sky and said, "They have been resurrected also." Toshiro looked up into the sky and saw at least fifty soldiers walk out of the garganta. Kageroza then said, "You should also know that resurrection has made every Espada at least ten times stronger then they were in their past life. Every Espada has the ability to defeat the entire Gotei Thirteen combined. So I advise you to take us Espada seriously and fight us, rather then Aizen." Toshiro looked at Kageroza with a deadly look on his face. Kageroza then said, "Wait, I order you all to fight us."
Toshiro's eyes opened wide upon hearing this and said, "YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL ME TWICE. BANKAI." Ice began to surround Toshiro when the other Espada surrounded the shinigami. Ulquiorra said,
"Like my Comrade just said, you all should take us seriously." Ulquiorra then turned to the Espadas and said, "Lets split up and conquer different part of Hueco Mundo." Ulquiorra then turned back to the shinigami and said I dare you to stop us. Every Espada with the exception of Kageroza proceeded to sonido to various part of Hueco Mundo. A huge explosion then occurred. Toshiro began to catch his breath and stared at Kageroza. Several shards of ice were standing next to Kageroza. Some blood flowed out Kageroza's arm but in retrospect, Toshiro's attack had no effect on Kageroza. Kageroza laughed and proceeded to sonido to a different part of Hueco Mundo.
Rangiku rushed over to her Captain and Toshiro said, "New plan. Flash step over to those dam Espada and kill them." The Captains and the Lieutenants flash stepped away from Toshiro and Rangiku.
Ukitake and Kyoraku flash stepped over to where Stark was located. Stark said,
"I figured you two would want a rematch." Kyoraku said,
"I know you remember who won last time we fought." Stark stared at Kyoraku and said,
"I do remember. I will never forget our last fight. However, as demonstrated by Kageroza we are ten times stronger then before. I now have the strength to individually take down the entire Gotei Thirteen."
Kyoraku then asked in a sarcastic tone, "Is that so?" Stark proceeded to then say,
"Yes. If you guys you smart, you would both find new opponents right now. I am not in the mood for avenging my past life so don't make me do so."
Shunsui took a quick look at Ukitake who gave a approving nod. Shunsui then said,
"I am sorry, but I think Jushiro and I are going to rough it out against you."
The expression on Stark's face did not change, "Your choice" Stark then proceeded to release a massive amount of spiritual energy. A massive pillar of blue spirit energy surrounded Stark. The amount of spirit energy Stark now contained caught Shunsui by surprise and he kneeled down and began gasping for air.
As this is going on, Byakuya Kuchiki instructed his lieutenant Renji Abarai to make an announcement to the Captain's and lieutenants not in Hueco Mundo about the Espada invasion using the Tenteikura. Renji Abarai then pulled out black powder and said,
"Black and white net. Twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crowns and belts. Footprints, distant thunder, sharp peak, engulfing land, hidden in the night, sea of clouds, blue line. Form a circle and fly though the heavens. Tenteikura."
Every Captain and lieutenant but their hand to their ears. Renji realized that he had every Captain and Lieutenant's attention and said,
"Connection complete. This is Division Six Lieutenant Renji Abarai. I have been instructed by my Captain to inform you that Aizen and the Espada have invaded Hueco Mundo. Several of the Captain's and Lieutenants here are already engaging in combat. Be warned that their strengthen has severely increased and that a Captain's Bankai was already deflected. The invasion force does seem to be smaller then we expected, but the power of each Espada is the equivalent of at least one Captain. If any backup does come, make sure they are ready to engage in combat. That is all the information I have right now." Renji looked up into the sky and said, "End of connection." Byakuya walked to Renji and said,
"Nice job. Now I know that these Espada are strong, but I want to fight one alone."
Renji sated at his Captain before nodding. Renji said, "Understood Captain." Renji then turned around and flash stepped away to a different part of Hueco Mundo. Byakuya was about to also travel to a different part of Hueco Mundo when a voice said,
"Your lieutenant seems very keen on following orders. That must mean you are a good captain." An arrancar appeared in front of Byakuya. The arrancar had pale white skin and blue lines going down his face. Byakuya said to the arrancar.
"I have heard about you. Ichigo Kurosaki told me about you. You're an Espada."
"That is correct." Said the Espada. "Ichigo and I have fought multiple times. My name is Ulquiorra Cifer."
Location: Division One Headquarters
Current date: First Day Of Summer
The Head Captain has ordered everyone that was stationed at the Division One Headquarters to enter a portal that would allow them to enter Hueco Mundo. The Head Captain said,
"Common everybody. You all heard Renji Abarai, they need us."
Captain Unohana then asked the Head Captain, "Captain Yamamoto, are you sure you want all of us to go. We would be leaving the Soul Society vulnerable. Renji did say the invasion force was smaller then we expected. What if some of the Espada were sent to invade here?" The Head Captain thought about what Unohana just said and responded by saying,
"You make a good point Captain Unohana. I will make sure the Visoreds stay to guard the Soul Society along with one Captain." Unohana smiled and nodded at the Head Captain.
Suddenly Sui Feng flash stepped over to the Head Captain and said to him, "Captain Yamamoto, look at the sky." The Head Captain along with all the other Captains that were at the Division One Headquarters looked up into the sky and noticed the garganta that had just appeared.
