Invasion
Sitting out front of Urahara's shop with Kisuke, Loki held his head against his Zanpakutō the wolf gave Kisuke a look as he exhaled smoke.
Lowering his head to rest on the hilt once more. The two looked down the street to see a somber Ichigo approaching, hands clenched in rage and vengeance, Loki stood up.
"Good you're here…" turning away to enter his shop, Kisuke spoke.
"Follow me" following after Kisuke with Loki also, the inside of the shop was still in shambles with Loki's crew helping with repairs. Turning to them, Cayde, Alua and Alex moved to attention.
Followed by Apacci, Sung-sun and Yoruichi, the poor mother holding a strong front as she stared at Ichigo, seeing her hands clench tightly, Loki nodded for them to follow him to the training area.
Leaving the two lovers together, walking to Yoruichi Ichigo brought her into a gentle embrace.
"We'll get her back, Yoruichi… I promise" feeling her face bury itself into his chest, the woman held him in place for a minute before they separated, showing her tears at the edge of her eyes, Yoruichi sniffled slightly while wiping her eyes.
"Don't make that promise" staring at her lover who stared back, they smirked with a vengeance.
"We will get her back" moving after the others… they failed to see Keigo and Mizuiro peek around the corner.
Sitting within his palace with a look of contemplation, Baraggan looked to his fraccion at attention with a bored look, but in truth he was worried and confused. This all started when he and the little one had stared at one another for a moment when Aizen had her brought to them, and from those small, innocent eyes. Baraggan felt his right hand crush his throne slightly at the emotions those pure orbs held.
Fear and innocence.
Inhaling slightly to calm himself, Baraggan closed his eyes in thought while stretching his Pesquisa out to the other espada, he frowned suddenly at Grimmjow, Harribal and Ulquiorra within the forth's palace.
Opening his eyes in thought, he stood up with his fraccion standing up to attention.
"Remain here… I will be but a moment" with that he vanished through sonido.
Appearing before Ulquiorra's doors, he gave a knock to be polite, sensing the trio freeze up behind the door, the door opened to show the emotionless face of Ulquiorra.
"Baraggan, to what do I owe the visit?" staring at the woman he threw the door open to show both Grimmjow and Harribel.
Staring at them for a moment, he spoke words that shocked them.
"Whatever you're planning against Aizen…" turning to a shocked Ulquiorra, their jaws hit the ground.
"I want to assist"
"Count us in too" turning to behind him, Baraggan and the others spotted Starrk and Lillynette approaching.
"Starrk?" staring at the gathered group, he spoke.
"I got a visitor while the others were in the land of the living…"
"Who visited you, if you don't mind me asking?" turning to Baraggan, Starrk sighed.
"I got a warning from my counterpart" looking to Grimmjow, he reached behind his back to bring out a small orb of writhing ashes, startling them all.
"And he gave me this for Grimmjow" tossing it to the former Sexta Espada, Grimmjow went to catch it, only for it to explode into a liquid, startling him as it splattering over his left side, the sight of the thing snaking over his body alarming everyone.
"WHAT THE HELL!?" moving to help him, Ulquiorra stopped as the mass stopped and flowed to the stump of his arm, stretching to his lower back, they all watched in awe as it stretched down to form an arm… followed by a hand.
Looking to the arm as skin began to show, Grimmjow felt it come alive at his command.
Reaching for his face with his restored limb, Grimmjow looked down with a snort, before it became a full blown laugh, tears falling from his eyes, Grimmjow clenched it tightly before a note appeared on his face, snatching it from his face with an annoyed look, his eyes widened in glee.
"Oh, this gives me an idea" holding it out to Ulquiorra, the girl took one look before she held it to Harribel, who took one look.
"Starrk, who gave you this?" turning to the Primera, Starrk shrugged.
"Either a really good copy, or a future me all I know is he was just as lazy as me" failing to see Grimmjow stalk away with a wide grin, they failed to notice his Six tattoo had been restored.
Looking to the note, Baraggan gave a hum as it showed Grimmjow impaling Luppi through the chest… frowning at the name below on the bottom corner, he spoke.
"Whose Tite Kubo?" the only response he gained was a collective shrug.
Before they perked up at sensing multiple reiatsu entering Hueco Mundo.
"Kurosaki-kun?"
Smashing through the wall between worlds, Loki skid to a stop as Ichigo and the others followed.
Landing on their feet, Yoruichi looked around before her eyes narrowed.
"Where are we?"
"Below the surface of Hueco Mundo" turning to Apacci, the arrancar of the group stepped out with Neliel inhaling the air before sighing.
"Good to be back here, all things considered" failing to see Cayde Perk up he aimed a hand-cannon down to the left where an arm reached around a corner, the sudden discharge alarmed them all as four rounds exploded into the head, killing the arrancar with ease, twirling his Ace of spades on his hand, Cayde holstered it before walking after Loki and Ichigo.
"That's one nuisance down, now for the bird looking one" turning to Loki as he held his Zanpakutō, Ichigo spoke.
"SO how many Zanpakutō do you have?" turning to the Ichigo with a raised eyebrow, Loki spoke.
"Just one," waiting for a more thorough answer, Ichigo watched Loki walk ahead with silence.
"That was vague as fuck" seeing Loki turn and shrug, they stepped into an open area…
Looking over the area, Ichigo narrowed his eyes.
Looking over the area, Yoruichi flashed out of sight, followed by her falling to the floor with her Claymore imbedded in an arrancars back.
"Where's the exit!?" moving to dig her claymore further Loki spoke up.
"It's up the stairs" seeing the wolf point to the left, Yoruichi blinked several times before the others began to move.
"Oh!" stomping onto the arrancar's neck, a loud snap echoed with Loki yelling out.
"RUN LIKE HELL!" turning to question his outburst, they all looked up at the ceiling collapsing.
Rushing after Loki to the stairs, Uryu looked back to see Sand rising up after them.
"MOVE IT PEOPLE!" looking back at it now, they should have left while the bird man was at Yoruichi's mercy.
Leaping forward with a geyser of sand behind them, Tatsuki landed beside Uryu with coughs, releasing sand from their mouths, Cayde gave a laugh at being the only one unaffected by the sand.
Gaining multiple punchs from Ichigo's group, only for them to hold their hands at hitting his metal body.
They all however perked up at seeing the castle before them.
"Ladies and Gentleman, may I present to you, Los Nochez?" turning to Neliel as she smiled at the sight, Apacci and Cyan nodding in agreement.
"It feels weird being back here"
Moving to speak, the Arrancar, Loki and his group were already moving towards it, leaving Ichigo beside Yoruichi staring at the castle.
"Masuyo's in there?" placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder, Ichigo spoke.
"We'll get her back, now let's go and make that happen" rushing after the others, they all nearly tripped as the sand beneath them shook violently.
Caching up the others as they stopped, Ichigo took notice to Loki kneeling down.
"What's Fenris doing?" turning to them, Apacci shrugged.
"Apparently summoning us a ride"
"He can do that-BOOM!" turning to the right as sand rose like a tidal wave.
Seeing a pair of… large horns emerge with a helmeted head, those form the world paled as it rose.
"Is that a hollow?" turning to them with a grin, Alua spoke.
"TERRAGON!" seeing the giant stop its movement, they gulped as it turned to their direction, it's menacing gaze melting into a friendly smile.
Lifting itself out of the ground, it began to make it's way to them.
"Uh, what is that?" turning to Loki, the wolf grinned.
"My son" turning to him with wide eyes, Ichigo yelled.
"WAIT YOU'RE SON!" shrugging, Loki spoke.
"Not in the normal sense, He was in my head with my other kids until I died my first death!" seeing him smile with such a casualness… the others stared at him like he had grown a second head.
"WHAT!?" waving them off as the giant (Terragon) approached with his hand held down to them.
"Oh calm down, just get on and sit back, simply enjoy the view" climbing onto the giants hand, Ichigo stared at him with a deadpan look, before Yoruichi rushed onto the hand, turning back to Ichigo… she gave a smirk.
"Well, we're not gonna get our daughter back from here"
Smirking at the woman, Ichigo leaped onto the hand as it rose.
Seeing this, Loki waved to Terragon.
"Let's move out Terra!"
"No need to shout"
"NO'VE IGNORED ME PLENTY OF TIMES IN THE PAST BECAUSE I GOT YOU'RE SMOOTHIE WRONG!"
