This chapter is a little short, sorry. But I've got the next ten chapters done, they just need some editing.
The Soul Society has a new enemy and a Holy Blood War is about to begin. Who are these men in white and how strong are they? And who is this familiar face?

Hawk's Story: Bleach
Chapter 38
After about a month, things had gotten back to the way things usually were. Soi Fon remained busy, so Hawk skipped work, Marcus cleaned up after him and Meiko and Halibel kept the guys in check.
Recently Squad 12 began recieving reports on Hollow disappearances in Hueco Mundo. Central Captain Halibel took the former Arrancar with her to go and investigate about two weeks ago. That left a bit of a divide with the other Central Captains. "We're getting pizza for dinner!" Marcus yelled.
"No, noodles and rice balls!" Hawk yelled back.
"Noodles are for lunch! Pizza is a dinner!"
"Damn it, where's Crow? She'd settle this!"
"She's probably with Byakuya having a fancy meal."
That's when they heard a large explosion and felt an incredible Spiritual Pressure. "That came from Yamamoto's office!" They bolted out of the room and up the hallway. As they ran into Yamamoto's offices they were blinded by his Ryujin Jakka. When the fire disapated, Yamamoto was standing by the hole in the wall and Vice-Captain Sasakibe was laying on the ground in a pool of blood. "Chojiro!" Hawk knelt down next to him.
"Genryusai sir. There is something...you must know." Chojiro said, trying to pick himself up. "They...they can...Bankai..." Those were his last words.
"What the hell is going on?" Marcus muttered.
"This was a declaration of war." Yamamoto said.
"By who?" Hawk asked angrily.
Yamamoto turned to them. "The Quincys."
...
After the emergency Captain's Meeting that night and Vice-Captain Sasakibe's funeral the next day, everyone began their preparations. They had a week and they were going to make that week count.
...
Halibel and her group had been scouting Hueco Mundo for a while now. Halibel's group consisted of Nel, Pesche, Dondochakka and Gantenbainne. Pesche and Dondochakka had the ability to keep their masks on at all time, an ability they always used. "Captain, what are we looking for?" Nel whined.
"Right now, we are looking for my informants." Halibel answered.
"Wait if you had informants, why didn't we see them first?" Pesche asked.
"I'm not suppose to contact them without Central-Captain majority rulings." Halibel answered.
"You're breaking the rules!" Nel teased.
"Please be quiet."
That's when they noticed a large Spiritual Pressure coming their way. Halibel was the only one who remained calm. Three figures appeared around Halibel. At first the group began to panic, but then were awe struck when the figures hugged Halibel. "Mistress Halibel! We're so happy you're back!" Apache cried.
"Please don't leave us again!" Mila-Rose cried as well. Sun-Sung didn't say anything she just cried.
"That's enough you three." Halibel told them. They gradually stopped hugging her.
"The Tres Beasties! They are you informants?" Gantenbainne asked.
"Of course. They were my Fraccion."
"Yeah you washed up Espada! Mistress Halibel still trusts us with her life!" Apache rudely informed him.
"Enough. What have you found out?" Halibel asked.
"These weird guys in white are killing Hollows and rounding up Menos and Arrancar." Mila-Rose said.
"Have you heard from Grimmjow?" Halibel asked.
"We ran into him once. He had three people with him, but their faces were covered." Sun-Sung said.
"I see. He's not behind this is he?" Halibel asked.
"No, these people aren't Arrancar or Shinigami." Apache said.
A much larger Spiritual Pressure rained done on them. "What is this?" Gantenbainne asked.
"This Spiritual Pressure." Halibel muttered. Sweat dripped down her face. "They're Quincys!" She shouted turning to the group. They looked in terror as she was struck through the chest.
"Captain!" Nel shouted.
"Mistress Halibel!" Apache shouted.
Everyone took out their Zanpakuto. Halibel was slow to get to her feet. When she did, their was an extreme change. She was an Arrancar again. "What happened?" Gantenbainne shouted.
"I was wondering if that would work. Perfect." A man in black said. Next to him was a man in white, with long blonde hair. "Change them all back."
"Yes your Majesty." The man in white said.
"Apache, Mila-Rose, Sun-Sung go find Grimmjow." Halibel ordered.
"But Mistress..." Mila-Rose started to say.
"That's an order!" Halibel shouted. They hesitated at first but used their Sonido to get away. "Hunt, Tiburan!" Halibel unleashed her Resurreccion. Unfortunatly the man in white was fast and struck Nel and Gantenbainne through the chest, turning them back into Arrancar. Gantenbainne got back up fast, but Nel reverted back to her child form. "Shit." Halibel mumbled. "Pesche, Dondochakka get Nel and run!"
"Yes Captain." Pesche said in his serious voice. Then they were pierced through the chest. Dondochakka picked himself, Pesche and Nel up and ran.
"Gantenbainne can you fight?" Halibel asked.
"To the death." Gantenbainne answered. "Shout, Dragra!" His arms became armor plated. He put his hands together. "Rugir Der Dragon!" A blast of energy went right at the two men. The man in black put his hand out and blocked in completely. "No way."
The man in black blasted Gantenbainne through the chest again. He fell backwards, his Resurreccion breaking. "Go get the other three." He told the man in white.
"Yes your Majesty." He ablidged.
"Cero!" Halibel launched her Cero at the man in black.
This time he dodged. He appeared behind Halibel. "Espada number 3. Aizen chose some interesting soilders." He said. When Halibel turned to face him, he cut her down the chest. She tried to stay on her feet, but he cut her again. "Not as strong as I hoped."
The man in white appeared with Dondochakka. "I'm sorry Master. The other two escaped through the Garganta."
"It's fine. Take the fat one to Kirge's group. Send the stronger one to the concentration camp." The man in black said.
"What about the Espada woman?" The man in white asked.
A familiar face stepped out of the shadows. "Take her with you. She'll be useful."
