Sand whipped around in vast walls as the three shinigami raced across the sunlit dome of Las Noches. Ichigo and Deion were neck and neck with Momo close behind them, blood boiling with fury.
"Halt." A voice called out to them. The three all stopped to see a huge force of Arrancars gathering in the path of the tower.
"You are in our way!" Ichigo growled.
"Under master Ulquiorra's orders, we are to prevent you from passing." Said Rudbornn Chelute, leader of the Exequias. Deion glanced over the line and took a count.
"I think we can take them." He said.
"No need for that Deion, Tsugi no mai, Hakuren!" A massive wave of snow blanketed the hollows, killing a good number of them.
"Rukia!" Ichigo shouted as he saw the raven haired shinigami flash step over to them. Deion sighed in relief.
"You gave me a scare when I left." He told her.
"I could handle myself!" She argued.
"Didn't Byakuya save you from that other Espada?" They turned to see Lisa, Chad, Uryuu, and Renji join them.
"Shut up! He was my back up." Rukia snapped quietly.
"Such petty things you shinigami worry over." Rudbornn said. Everyone's eyes sweaped around the area, noting the massing force of the Exequias gathering around them.
"Ichigo, Deion, Momo; You guys go on without us." Renji said.
"We will take care of this hollows." Chad explained.
"Lisa, You go with them." Uryuu told the Visored girl.
"Got it, Rukia, Stay here and keep these fools alive. No offence to Chad." Before Renji and Uryuu could complain about what she said, the four were already on their way up the tower.
"We way bring Orihime home!" Deion shouted. He then took out both of his Zanpaktos and crossed them.
"Bankai!"…

They blasted a hole in the side of the tower, Debris flew everywhere as both Deion and Ichigo, in Bankai, flew at blinding speeds at Ulquiorra the moment they saw him in the room with Orihime. Lisa and Momo followed them with fury in their eyes.
"GET AWAY FROM HER!" all of them screamed as the boys slammed into the 4th Espada and the girls grabbed the orange haired girl and moved her out of the way.
"Such foolishness. Do you four think you can defeat me?" Ulquiorra asked.
"We don't think we can beat you, we have to beat you!" Ichigo roared as he pulled down his mask.
"Getsuga Tensho!" Both he and Deion called out as the two waves of reishi knocked the hollow back a few yards.
"Cero." Ulquiorra pointed his finger at them and launched the green cero at them. All five of them jumped in different directions to avoid the attack. From where he landed, Deion could see an open Garganta.
'What now?' he asked himself. His answer was the sight of Wonderweiss entering it, along with something else in front of him. 'That can't be good.' He thought as he turned to Ichigo.
"Ichigo, I think I should head to Karakura Town."
"Why?" The orange haired substitute asked.
"Because they are going to need back up." Out of the corner of his eye, Deion was barely able to avoid a slash by the skin of his neck.
"Forget about me trash?" Ulquiorra said coldly as he made an downwards stroke with his blade, aimed at Deion's leg, But Momo flashed over and locked blades with 4th Espada from his left.
"Don't you dare hurt him or anyone else I love!" She growled. Ulquiorra gave her a blank stare before he raised his other hand and began to charge another cero.
"Point that somewhere else." Lisa said sharply with a cero of her own pointed at the Arrancar.
"Foolish."
"The hell it is! Getsuga Tensho!" The black and red crest slammed into Ulquiorra as Ichigo and Orihime joined them.
"Deion, take Momo, Lisa and, Orihime and head for Karakura. I got this here." Ichigo said.
"No way I'm letting you fight him alone!" Deion argued.
"Then he won't be alone, I'll stay with Ichigo." Orihime said.
"Fine, you two stay safe."
"Same to you three." Ichigo and Deion fist bumped each other.
"I'll hold him off until you get through." Ichigo said as he turned to clash with the Espada.
"Hurry up, The Garganta is closing!" Momo shout as they ran. Deion took one last look back at his friend and other girlfriend as Ichigo did the same. The same thought crossed their minds as Deion and the others jumped, and Ichigo and Orihime began the intense battle.
'Good luck!...'

One hour earlier…
With movements swift and stealth like, members of the Gotei 13 filled the air over Karakura Town as Sosuke Aizen and his followers showed up.
"You Disappoint me Head Captain. Only half of your Captains show up and expect to beat us?" With a jester of his hand, three Garganta opened up. Out of them stepped his top Espada: Tier Harribel, The 3rd, Baraggan Louisenbairn, The 2nd , and the number 1 Espada: Coyote Starrk. With all of their Fracción, Aizen had an force to take what came for: Karakura Town.
"Let us begin." Aizen commanded. In a flash, a white Haori drifted in the wind, it had the marks of the first division.
"Reduce All Creation to Ash, Ryūjin Jakka!" the old captain bellowed as a sea of flames erupted from his blade as he put on a powerful display.
"Jōkaku Enjō!" He called as the flames began to encircle the three traitors.
"Oh, Looks like he wants us out of the fight." Gin said as he watched the flames dance around.
"Lord Aizen, do you think they still think were ignorant to the fact they replaced Karakura Town with a fake?" Tosen asked. Aizen smirked as he also watched the flames.
"Let us see." He whispered. Around the four pillars, powerful adjuchas began their assault, but were swiftly dealt with by Ikkaku, Yumichika, Izuru, and Shuhei. The Espada then began to fan out as the war began…

"Captain, heads up." Rangiku shouted as they were surrounded by four Arrancars, Harribel and her three Fraccións Emilou Apacci, Franceska Mila Rose and Cyan Sung-Sun.
"I see them Rangiku." He said.
"Well looks like it 2 on 4!" Apacci shouted.
"You need to count better bitch!" The Arrancar barely dodged a slash meant for her from Rias, who showed up with Akeno and Senna.
"I thought you three went to help protect the pillars." Toshiro said.
"The guys got it from what I saw, and what, you don't want us to fight with you?" Senna asked accusingly. Toshiro blushed slightly with embarrassment as he looked away from her.
"I don't want to see any of you get hurt." He mutter under his breath.
"I heard that, and you know damn well we can handle ourselves." Rias knocked him on the head as she said that.
"Looks like these bitches can't keep a man in line." They heard Apacci tell the other girls.
"Like you could do any better!" Mila Rose said sarcastically.
"Shut the hell up you cow!" Apacci shot back.
"Make me flat-chested bitch!"
"My goodness you two are so childish." Sung-Sun said with her mouth covered by her sleeve.
"Shut up Sung-Sun!" They both roared. Senna chuckled at them. "
Wow, this is just sad." She said.
"What was that you shinigami bitch!?" Apacci shouted back at her.
"If you mess with her you mess with Me!" Rias shouted as she charged in, starting the battle. Not too far away, Toshiro and Akeno faced Harribel alone.
"You not worried about the other women over there?" The Espada asked.
"As they said, they can handle themselves." Akeno said.
"And who might you be?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, silly me. I'm 5th seat Akeno Himejima of 5th division." The black haired beauty stated.
"Hm, Lord Aizen's old division. Tell me, did it hurt when he betrayed you?" Akeno's eyes flashed with anger.
"Don't ever call it his division again!" She snapped.
'Akeno.' Toshiro thought. He knew she was normally a calm person, but also he knew just how easily she could be angered.
"Don't give in to her the satisfaction of your reaction. Keep calm." He told her and gave her a peck on the lips.
"What's wrong? Do you hate Lord Aizen? Did you care for him at one time? Where you willing to die for him at one time?" Harribel questioned.
"Shut the fuck up!" Toshiro snapped. He then charged in and crossed blades with the Arrancar.
"Your strong." He stated.
"Funny, I never called showing you my full power." Her sword then began to glow.
"Bankai!" He gasped in panic.
"Daiguren Hyorinmaru!" She attacked before the bankai could finish forming.
'Damnit!' He thought, but someone got in the way.
"Cast your spell, Kuromajo! Mahou no kabe!" She tried to stop the Espada.
"Akeno!" Toshiro shouted.
"Foolish." Harribel stated as she form a cero on her sword.
"Hado#73: Soren Sōkatsui!" Akeno called in an attempt to stop the cero. But her attack was overwhelmed, and then the barrier she made crumbled under the power.
"Guncho Tsurara!" A barrage of ice daggers flew towards the female Arrancar, forcing her to block.
"You alright?"
"I'm fine, she just got the upper hand." Akeno snapped.
"Calm down Akeno, don't let her get under your skin." Akeno listened to him and took a deep breath.
"Better?"
"Much, now let's take her out." Akeno growled as she began to chant.
"Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired!" Toshiro stood there stunned by what he was hearing.
'She is attempting a level 90 Hado?' Toshiro thought. The pink balls of light began to form as she glared daggers at the Espada.
"Hado#91: Senjū Kōten Taihō!" She roared as they creating a huge exploitation around the Arrancar. Akeno breathed heavily as the sky lite up.
"Is that the best you can do?" Whipping around, the two shinigami barely saw her move.
"Die." Harribel mutter as she slash Akeno across her chest, leaving the girl with a shocked look on her face.
"AKENO!" Toshiro bellowed as he launched himself to catch her, only for Harribel to stop him.
"The pain of losing a comrade is natural in the heat of battle. She made her choice, Her sacrifice."
"WILL YOU STOP! I WILL KILL YOU FOR THIS!" Toshiro, in unbelievable rage, began to hack and slash wildly. Akeno, to her, fell slowly to the ground. 'Is this it?' she asked herself.
'I'm going to die. But I can't.' her eyes drifted towards Rias, who has just notice what has happen and is struggling to get to her.
'I haven't fulfilled my wish…'
Flashback…
The young noble Akeno Himejima ran down the street.
'I can't go back to that place.' She repeated in her mind. Her father was about to marry her to some man she has never met before. She wanted so much more; love, friends, and power. As she ran, the girl tripped over a rock, landing in a small shack.
"Ow." She moaned as she stood back up.
"Um, can I help you?" a voice asked. Akeno lifted her head to see another girl her age, red hair, blue-green eyes, and rags on.
"Oh, sorry. I tripped and fell." Akeno said. The girl nodded as she back up.
"You're not from around here, are you?"
"What makes you say that?"
"Well, you have on a very fancy kimono." The girl pointed out. Akeno forgot she ran away during a wedding party.
"Right." She said slightly embarrassed.
"Running away noble girl?"
"You can say that. I just want to be me." She told the girl.
"Well then, wish for it." The girl said.
"Huh?"
"Wish you would never change, and that you will always be loyal to those who love for who you are." Akeno smiled at the girl.
"Okay, thank you…"
"Rias, Rias Gremory."
"I'm Akeno Himejima." The two instantly became close friends, Living in the Rukongai before joining Shino. There, Akeno told her wish to another.
"Would you like know why I think of you all as my family?" She asked the group on night as they studied. Deion gave her question look.
"Yeah. But bet Rias knows." He said, looking at the red hair girl, who nodded. Momo, Toshiro, Rukia, and the other all gather in to her what she had to say.
"Too bad, I'm only letting one of you know at a time, and Deion was the second friend I made." She leaned in closer to whisper in his ear.
"It is to always be love by those that know me…"
Flashback end…
Akeno's eyes filled with tears.
'To me, it has always been fulfill, but to them, they want it to always…' Her vision than became nothing but darkness…

AN: After two long month of working on this, here is Chapter 35 on the one year anniversary of Life without a surname, and my start as a fan Fic writer. It has been a long road for me over the year, beginning with high hopes and crushing defeats. But, my work here is going live on. As for that, Let me give you a rundown of what I have planned for this year and how often I might be able to work:
1: As said before, I joined the Navy back in September. As explained on my AN of DWAS chapter 18, I had to retire from the service due to illnesses and extreme depression. Read that AN for further Information.
2: Destiny without a surname. That story is in its final arc, leading up to a showdown between Ichigo, Deion, Aizen, and Juhabach. Other sub plots will also be wrapped up, and I have two little specials planned for that story only.
3: Familiar without a surname. This is starting to get into the meat of the story. Not much left of the First season of the Familiar of Zero anime, but I will have elements of other seasons. My Co-writer plans is take you on Ichigo's journey in Hell and at some point the two part will cross. Stay tuned because that is going to be one wild ride.
4: Life without a surname. As I may or not said, it will follow Bleach canon. But, the next arc is the Regai arc, adding the final member to the harem. second movie planned. But it won't be done for some time now. LWAS is going to my longest story.
5: Other works. I'm undecided on what to do when I finish my Without a surname series. One thing it to work on my one-shots and turn them into a full stories. Another is to make a fourth installment in the Without a surname series. I'll might make a poll to see what you guys think.
That's all for now, I hope you guys tell me what you think.
New moves!
Mahou no kabe (Magic barrier): Akeno's own shield that is strong enough to stop a cero from a menos or a high level kido.
Senjū Kōten Taihō (Thousand-Hand Bright Heaven Culling-Sear): Hado Number 91. This is the kido Urahara used on Aizen. This was the first time she used it so she went for the full incantation. It works by generating ten pink energy points around themselves, the practitioner fires them all at their target.
No new reviews… Oh well
Next chapter: From lies to the truth, Deion Vs. Aizen?
Read and review please and thank you for make my first year special!
Deion: Your still as stupid as ever…
Me: Shut up.
See ya!

Deep out in space, a group of watcher gathers to observer an impending threat.
"He has already has taking over thousands of world, which have never seen anyone like him." Said a young watcher who had messy black hair and purple eyes.
"Why can't we get involved? He is not even meant to exist here."
"Calm yourself young one. It is beyond our power to interfere, even in this case." One of the elders said.
"Then you're just going to let trillions of people suffer!? I can't believe this bullshit. Ever since those two boys made that wish, and made contact with a world that they never should have found, all of reality has been unstable."
"They are working on righting there wrong. As it always has, Reality will sort itself out. As for the war lord, let us hope someone can stop him." The young watcher gave up and stormed out of the hall. He was worried about four world that he has been overseeing for hundreds of years. He has grown fond of a time line he watches.
'There has to be a way to save them.' He thought. He then thought back to an event in which for a brief moment, these worlds crossed paths, and even took down a foe that should not have existed.
"Just Like Gallia." He whispered. He then knew what he must do…
