Fipp: The other day, as a belated birthday gift, I received 'Final Fantasy: Dissidia', and so far I love the game, though I'm not too good with Cecil.
Squad Eleven Arc: Hollows
There was a loud rumble in the dark air as the large herd Gillian-class Menos Grande roamed through the Dangai Precipice World, heading to the Soul Society.
The Senkaimon appeared at the end of the dark valley, several hundred meters away from the massive Hollows. The first thing that appeared out of the gate where several Hell Butterflies, these were followed by a large yellow flash that streaked out of it and blazed right into the herd of Gillian, instantly cutting down a portion of them, all the while madly laughing. The rest of the Squad Eleven ran out of the gate and followed this laughing streak.
"Sometimes I wish Taichou would be courteous enough not to kill them all before we even step out of the gate," Yumichika said as the group ran into battle.
"Not Ken-chan's fault if you guys are too slow!" Yachiru laughed as she ran into the Gillian group.
"He left you behind too!" Ikkaku retorted, only to receive a quick flying-kick to the head, sending him to the ground, though he quickly jumped back up.
"Can we please get this started?" Yumichika asked. The other two nodded and the group began its assault on the Hollows.
One of the Gillians began to charge a cero, but Yumichika quickly ran up at it and sliced at its leg and severed its foot. With one foot, missing it tumbled forward, causing it to crash down on the ground.
Ikkaku then jumped onto the vanishing corpse of the fallen Hollow and launched himself at the next one, flying right through the Hollow Hole in its chest, slicing right through the monster's side as he flew right through the other side.
Yachiru quickly avoided the stomping feet of the Hollows, then she quickly jumped up and pulled herself up the large billowing cloak and right up onto the mask. She energetically waved to it before cleaving the mask right in half.
The number of Squad Eleven members fought with joy as they shred the large Hollows down fell down and onto the ground.
After an hour of fighting, all the Hollows in sight were now dead and purified.
"HAHA!" Ikkaku laughed, doing his 'Lucky Dance'.
"Yes, that was quiet enjoyable, wasn't it?" Yumichika said, flipping his hair.
"Yes it was!" Yachiru grinned. Her expression fell after several seconds as she began to look around the area. "Hey, where's Kenpachi?"
The Third and Fifth seat looked around the dark valley for their captain as well, only to see he wasn't there.
"He must have ran too far down the tunnel while looking for Hollows to fight," Ikkaku said. "He probably got lost again."
"Of course he did," Yachiru said, lowering her head. Kenpachi really was useless without her, wasn't he?
"Fukutaichou!" Yachiru turned around to see the lower seated members gathered around. "What do we do now?"
Yachiru gave this a moment's thought before waving them off. "You guys go back to the Barracks. I'm going to look for Kenpachi and make sure he didn't get too lost."
"We'll come too," Ikkaku said as he and Yumichika stepped up. "It can be dangerous in here if you wander all by yourself."
"Whatever," Yachiru shrugged.
The squad members went back through the Senkaimon and back to Soul Society, while Yachiru, Ikkaku and Yumichika ran down through the darkened tunnels in search for Kenpachi.

"Dammit," Akon sighed. "Looks like Zaraki-taichou became overzealous again and left his group. Again."
"Should we send someone to go retrieve him?" Rin asked, nibbling on a cookie. "Again?"
"I don't think so, looks like Kusajishi-fukutaichou, Madarame and Ayasegawa are chasing after him. As long as we have surveillance of them, everything should be fine."
It was then, that every computer screen in the room went white with static, cutting off all images of everything that was happening in the Dangai Precipice World.
"What the hell?" Hiyosu asked, quickly typing on the keyboard, trying to get the images back.
"What the hell's happening?!" Akon asked.
"We somehow lost all visuals from the Dangai!" Hiyosu yelled, scanning the screens. "I can't seem to get anything back! It's all gone!"
"So they're all alone out there then?" Akon asked. "Damn. We have to contact Hitsugaya-soutaichou and have him send a recovery team after them immediately."
"No!" Rin yelled, banging on his(1) hand on the computer station.
"What is it?"
"The Senkaimon! According to this, they're all offline!"
"What?!" Akon and Hiyosu yelled. "So there's no way can go to the Living World, nonetheless assist Squad Eleven?"
"Dammit," Akon growled. He then turned around to the rest of the scientist in the room. "Everyone! Get visuals back up! Get the Senkaimon back online! Contact Hitsugaya-soutaichou and inform him of the situation so that he can send an extraction team the moments we reopen the gates!"
The various people in the room began to scramble, doing their assignments.
Akon turned back to the computer and glared hard at it. He had the feeling something was wrong, and making Madarame more molars wouldn't fix it.

There were five Gillian left in the way.
Kenpachi laughed as he jumped forward and swung his sword, slicing one of them in half.
Another one quickly fired a cero down at him, but the captain only deflected it with his bare arm and sliced the Hollow into small pieces.
The other three also tried to attack them, but Kenpachi quickly cut them down with ease.
"Damn," he said, slinging his sword over his shoulder. "Done already? Is it me or are these things getting weaker by the day?" He poked his eye patch. "Maybe this thing needs another adjustment. What do you guys thing?"
. . .
"Guys?" Kenpachi turned around to face his squad, only to find not a single one around. "Where the hell did they all go?" He took a deep breath before yelling, "Yo! Yachiru! Ikkaku! Yumichika! Where'd ya go?!" When he received no answer he looked around a bit more. "Must have gotten lost."
The large man turned around back down the path the he come, but stopped in his tracks.
"Which way did I come from?" he asked himself.
The captain was silent for several seconds before he heard a ripping noise behind him.
He turned around to see the air ripping apart.
"A Garganta?" he asked himself, thinking back to the times he had seen Grimmjow use those things.
The inter-dimension portal opened up to reveal endless sands and a night sky.
"Is that Hueco Mundo?" he asked.
"Yup." The next thing Kenpachi knew, he was struck from the back and sent flying through the portal, and crashing into the sand.
With a growl he jumped from the white sand and stood up. "Who the hell did that?!" He looked around to see that his surroundings were of a large canyon with craggy, white rock walls that jut straight up. The entire ground was covered with fine, white sand while the ever-present moon hung in the sky in its reversed crescent shape.
"Hello there, shinigami." Kenpachi turned around to see two figures standing in front of the Garganta. Despite the fact they were both human in appearance, they both had holes in their chest and stomach.
For a brief moment, Kenpachi thought they were arrancars, but he noticed that neither one held a sword, and that their mask were not fragments that rested somewhere on their heads, like a helmet or eyepiece, but an entire opal plate that covered their whole face.
Though he didn't know too much about Hollows themselves, but he knew enough to know what these guys were.
He happily grinned at the mere thought of the up coming battle.

In the Twelfth, while many of the shinigami frantically tried to repair the computer systems, one computer in the back had a small tab on the screen in flashing red.
'Danger! Danger! Danger! Two Vasto Lorde Hollows located in Sector A-13! Please extract all shinigami from-'
The tab was clicked off by the person manning this computer, making sure no one heard it.
(1) Or is it 'her'? Damn ambiguous gender.
