Wing Bind Headquarters.
The other Top of Horns had been watching the battle from their meeting room and many of them seemed impressed.
"So that's the power our eastern counterparts hold, said Harry"
"They are all incredibly powerful, said Roy"
"Their system of rank is indeed different from ours, said Cquntnire
-Those other four have a power level similar to the captain but they're just lieutenants"
"Young captain Hitsugaya said that those four might become captains themselves in the future, said Tronbone
-I guess another captain has to either die or retire for that to happen"
They all looked at the screen in the middle of the table and saw how Bruno and Rickenbacker was leading the Soul Reapers back.
"Let's greet them as they return, said Wolfgang"
Everyone stood up and went outside where Rickenbacker soon landed, the Soul Reapers not far behind.
All five then disappeared into the bodies that looked like them.
"How do you do that, Roy asked"
"These bodies are called Gigai and is to help us interact with people in the world of the living, said Renji"
"We use these when we want to leave them, said Izuru"
He held up a dispencer with the text Soul Candy on it and the top looked like a frog head.
"We can't leave them laying around because to a human it would look like someone died, said Shūhei"
"So when we eat these, an artificial soul takes our place in the Gigai so they can still move around and won't cause a panic, said Katsurou"
"Interesting, said Sullivan"
"We didn't know if you here in Reverse London would be able to see us unless we had our Gigai so that's why we're using them, said Tōshirō
-But since Director Bangnyfe could, I guess we didn't need them"
"Still a good thing we brought them, captain, said Katsurou
-It's a better way to blend in among the people until we leave"
"Good point"
They then walked inside along with the Top of Horns.
"Katsurou send a report to the head-captain and have him make Kurotsuchi and Urahara look into this incident. Something might be wrong with the Garganta.
-Urahara should also check things with Queen Halibel"
"Understood sir"
"There isn't much more we can do until we get information from them other than investigate the area where the Hollow first appeared"
"I'll have Noel and Ninny lead you there, said Tronbone"
"Thank you, director Takkinen"
"Maybe it's better to investigate tomorrow, said Cquntnire
-It is getting late"
Everyone looked outside and the sun was indeed starting to set.
"Okay, tomorrow we'll investigate the area but we'll send our report today, said Tōshirō"
The four lieutenants nodded and Katsurou picked up his Soul Pager to contact the Seireitei.
The others watched him talk and after a while, he put it into his pocket.
"Head-captain has been informed and he'll put Urahara on Garganta investigation right away.
"And Queen Halibel, Tōshirō asked"
"Urahara will contact her to see if anything has happened in Hueco Mundo"
"Good.
-Then we'll call it a day"
"Yes sir, said all four lieutenants"
They were then lead to a few empty rooms were they could sleep for the night.
The next day, Katsuro and Tōshirō were up first, sitting down by a table in one of the main areas.
"Have you gotten an answer yet?"
"Just as I woke up, the head-captain contacted me.
-Urahara has talked with Queen Halibel and she had also noticed something didn't seem right. So she sent Nel and Grimmjow into the Garganta"
"And what did they find?"
"There's a slight rift in it, big enough for an Adjuchas to fit throught.
-Urahara is working on a way to stitch it shut so no more Hollows can escape"
"How long will that take?"
"A few days.
-We were ordered to remain here until it's solved just incase more Hollows should escape"
"I understood as much"
The other three then came.
"Morning guys, said Katsurou"
"Morning, said Shūhei"
"So what's the news from the Seireitei, Renji asked"
"That we'll remain here until Urahara has found a way to stitch up the rift in the Garaganta that caused that Hollow to come here, said Tōshirō
-So let's ask Director Takkinen about those two who could lead us to where it first appeared"
"Right"
They made their way through the Wing Bind Headquarters to the part belonging to the Pipers where they found Tronbone's office.
"Ah good morning everyone"
"Good morning Director Takkinen, said Tōshirō"
"I hope you had a good night"
"We did sir, said Izuru"
"We're well rested and ready to begin our investigation, said Renji"
"Good, good, said Tronbone
-Then I shall get Ninny and Noel here"
He reached for the phone on his desk and asked someone to bring the girls to his office.
A while later, the door opened and Billy Banx Jr came in followed by Ninny and Noel.
"Here you have them sir"
"Thank you Banx"
The man nodded and left the room as Tronbone got off his chair and stood by the two witches.
"Everyone this is Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole, two of my Pipers and the ones who found the Hollow
-Girls, these are the Soul Reapers who were sent here to help us."
"Nice to meet you, said Noel"
The five reapers all nodded at her.
"Now, the two of you will lead them to were you found the Hollow"
"But director..."
"No buts, Ninny. You two are the ones who found the creature.
-So be kind and take these five gentlemen to where you found it"
"Yes sir"
"Actually, I might give you two a little bonus"
That caught the girls' attention and Ninny got a smirk on her face.
"But only if these five report your help as a good job"
That made Ninny's smirk disappear and she sighed.
"Understood"
A while later, the two witches were sitting on their Broombuggy Marshall and Wordsworth while the Soul Reapers ran in the air around them.
After a while, they got down on the ground.
"This is where we found that thing but I don't think this is were it came from originaly, said Noel"
"Right, Katsurou you know what to do"
"Yes, captain Hitsugaya"
The 13th divsion lieutenant drew his sword and held it out in front of him.
"Howl Towards the Shining Moon, Kuroi Ōkami"
The sword changed into Shikai form and Katsurou swung it to summon a pack of five wolves.
"Find traces of the Hollow"
The wolves scattered and began to try finding the scent of the Hollow.
"What kind of magic is that, Ninny asked"
"It's not magic, said Izuru
-It's the power of Katsurou's Zanpakutō"
"His what now?"
"Our swords are called Zanpakutō and they each have a different power, said Renji.
-Ours can't do what Katsurou's does. That power to create shadow wolves is unique to him"
They then heard a howl coming from not that far away.
"They've found something, said Katsurou"
Running down the street, they entered an alley were they found one of the shadow wolves.
"What did you find?"
The wolf pointed its nose at a tiny rift and Katsurou knelt next to the wolf to look at it.
"This is without a doubt the remnants of a Garganta"
"Send this to Urahara and tell him we found were the Hollow came from"
"Yes sir"
Katsurou put his sword back in its scabbard and as he took out his Soul Pager, Tōshirō turned to the witches.
"Is there a way to seal off this alley for the time being?"
"Is that thing that dangerous, Noel asked"
"Not dangerous but until Urahara has found a way to stitch the rift up, I don't wanna risk someone coming across this"
"All right, I think I have the right thing, said Ninny"
She took out some sort of yellow tape with the text "Witches and Wizards only" printed onto it in black.
"Step out of the alley everyone"
They did as she said and she covered the entrance to the alley in the tape.
"Are you sure that's gonna work, Shūhei asked"
"People here do follow instructions quite well, said Ninny"
Katsurou then put his Soul Pager back into his uniform.
"Urahara has recieved the report as well as the head-captain
-But he wanted exact coordinates to were the rift is here"
"Let's take you all back to HQ then, said Noel
-They can help you with that"
The Soul Reapers agree and they all made their way back to Wing Bind HQ
