Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach or Naruto
Soul Society, 2,400 miles north of the Seireitei
9:00 P.M. Kakashi and his team arrive at a hidden mountain base within the snow-capped mountains within the Soul Society's northernmost region. They then see a base hidden between 5 large mountains and a gate covered in snow and ice.
" What is this place ? " Kakashi asked the Shinigami escorting them.
" This is the last refuge of the Quinces " Shita Horsimi answered.
" Quinces ? I though they were wiped out 200 years ago " Yamato stated.
" They were, most of them anyways, we used to be within the Gotei 13 before that happened. We couldn't handle the fact we were committing genocide. We then learned out what the Shinigami were intending to do and left the Gotei 13 " Siga Satorishi explained to the group.
" So is it true that the Soul Society created the Tailed beast ? " Yūgao questioned the rogue Shinigami.
" Yes it's true ! The Soul Society created the Ten Tailed Beast 200 years ago. We sacrificed thousands of human souls from an ancient civilization by turning them into demons known as hollows " Shita Horsimi explained to the Shinobi.
" We'll let our leader Haschwald explain it to you ! " Siga Satorishi stated.
" Siga Satorishi ? " Yamato asked.
" He's the descendant of the great Quincy leader killed off 200 years ago and said to be the divide son of the greatest Quincy to ever exist, Yhwach " Shita Horsimi explained to the Shinobi.
" I see, let's get inside the base ! " Kakashi stated.
" Right ! Activate the gate ! " Shita replied as the gate opens up and the cloaking device covering the base is deactivated revealing the base.
The Quincy palace is a large ice encrusted building. This building consists of a thick base with a long stairway leading up the front. On top of this are a series of thick columns supporting a thicker second tier of the building. There is a third tier above this, supported by thinner columns. Surrounding the main building are a number of ice-covered round or square towers and two curved structures leaning towards each other, forming an arch-like monument at the front of the building.
Once inside the base, Kakashi, Yūgao, Sai and Yamato arrive at the throne room after walking through the base within a few minutes.
" This place is massive ! " Sai said to Kakashi.
" Indeed, to think they're were survivors all these years " Kakashi stated.
" So my guests of honor have arrived ? " said the voice of a young man sitting on a floating throne.
The group then turn around to see the Quincy Leader. The leader is a tall young man with a thin build. He has long blonde hair that descends past his shoulders. His attire is a variation upon the Quincy's typical white uniform, consisting of the order's signature hooded-cloak and a thigh-length trench coat, along with white trousers and shoes .
" Are you the one known as Haschwald ? " Kakashi asked the leader.
" Yes, i'm King Haschwald, i've been expecting you guys to come here " Haschwald answered.
" We have questions for you . Were you the ones who helped us get through the dimensional gates so easily ? " Yamato asked Haschwald.
" It seems you caught on to how you got here ! " Haschwald answered.
" We had a hunch that it was too easy , if the Shinigami did control the Senkaimons, we would've been detected at one point and yet for what we know, there wasn't any Shinigami present at all " Sai explained to Bach.
" That's because we've been watching you guys for a while. When you guys were able to get the blueprints to the Soul Society, we decided to aid you guys in the process. The Soul Society has heavy regulation over the Dangai, the world that bridges the Soul Society to the Human realm " Haschwald explained to the group.
" So how were you able to get us through undetected ? " Kakashi asked the Quincy leader.
" Only Shinigami who have Jigokuchō can safely get to the Soul Society. There's also the problem with Kōryū (拘流, Wresting Flow) , the current that is constantly flowing through the Dangai that's in order to prevent enemies such as Hollows from using it. The current stops souls from moving, and even one foot caught by it makes escape almost impossible. If you guys were caught by that, such an event would cause you guys to get lost or killed and assuming your group make it to the Soul Society, the Shinigami would be aware of your presence and the Shinigami numbers would be far too much for your small group to handle and you would either be captured or killed " Haschwald explained to the Shinobi.
" I see, so how were you able to sneak us into the Soul Society undetected ? " Sai questioned the Quincy leader.
" Remember, Quinces are human, much like you Shinobi. 200 years ago during the Quincy extermination on earth. A handful of 20 Quincy families lead by a top Quincy scientist was able to construct the special Senkaimon and were able to escape to the farthest outskirts of the Soul Society when we struggled to survive and live undetected for 200 years " Haschwald explained to the Shinobi.
" So how were guys able to do it ? How did you guys build these Senkaimons ? " Kakashi asked.
" We build these secret tunnels using Kaikyō Koteis (界境固定, Realm Boundary Fixations). Kaikyō Koteisi were originally used by lower-echelon Shinigami enter the dimension in great numbers and using a special method, pour in their Reiatsu to fixate the current. The top Quincy scientist was able to copy that technology and using a rare mineral known as Reisutōnsage ( 霊はスンを下げ Spirit Reducing Stone ) " Haschwald explained to the Shinobi.
" Reisutōnsage ? " Yamato asked.
" It's a rare crystallized Reiatsu that has been formed for millions of years deep underground. It's only found in Western Hueco Mundo, the crystal is entirely dangerous and has similar effects to radiation on humans. We were also able to find this untapped mineral within this mountainous region and mined it to help sustain our survival for so long and sent several people in disguise of normal pluses to get food to this place. We also use it to fuel our technology and special Senkaimons " Haschwald explained to Kakashi.
" So you guys are out to help us ? " Kakashi asked the leader.
" Of course, you guys have something we don't have. That is a large army, you're vast army and our knowledge of the Soul Society would be a great alliance to overthrow the Gotei 13 and prevent the death of anymore victims. We will not allow another genocide to take place, not as long as we have the ability to stop them " Haschwald explained to Kakashi .
" Tell me, what caused all these problems with the Soul Society. How did the events of the Quincy war happened ? " Kakashi asked the leader.
" Make yourself at home and allow me to explain the story about the Quincy war and the Quincy genocide " Haschwald replied .
Meanwhile Gin and Tōusen are watching the event unfold as the Quincy remnants make a deal with the Shinobi.
" It seems everything is going according to plan Lord Aizen " Gin said to his boss.
" Haschwald is cooperating with the Shinobi as planned ? It seems he has forgotten the fact i could sell him and his remnants out to the Gotei 13 at any moment before he can finish the revival process of Yhwach " Aizen replied.
" We were able to discover this base around 10 years ago , it was amazing that the Quinces actually managed to survive this long undetected " Tōusen stated.
" It was thanks to a Quincy scientist who was the eldest son of Quincy leader Riku Takuma who constructed this base and they've been developing their revenge soon. I planned to use the Quinces to attack in case this go sour with the Arrancars " Aizen explained to the group.
" And now you're using them to feed the flames of war with the Shinobi and Shinigami ? " Gin asked.
" Yep, whatever it take to obtain my ultimate goals, i will do anything to make sure nothing hinders my goal to become the Soul King " Aizen replied.
Meanwhile in Konoha
Tsunade is in her office drinking Sake when Shizune comes to talk with her.
" So we've all reached an agreement with the Kages ? " Shizune asked Tsunade.
" Yes, we have . Everything now rides with Kakashi and his group " Tsunade answered.
" Lady Tsunade, what if the Shinigmai were to capture them ? They're within enemy territory alone with no backup " Shizune stated.
" Kakashi can handle himself well, he's also with Yamato, Sai and Yūgao. They're the best ANBU agents we have on this mission . They're success and failure can affect the state of the Shinobi world and i'm placing my faith in their abilities " Tsunade explained to her assistant.
" In other words, failure is not an option ? " Shizune asked Tsunade.
" Indeed, we came too far too fail. Everyone has begun the mobilization effort to prepare for the war " Tsunade said to Shizune.
" I remember how the events played out ! " Shizune replied as she thinks back to hour ago.
6 hours ago
Kumokagure
All the 4 Kages and the acting Kazekage gather within the Raikage's office to discuss the ninja alliance.
" You all came quickly ! " Mifune said to the Kages.
" It's all thanks to Konoha's portal that we came here in less than 3 hours " Baki replied.
" Princess Tsunade, are you really all right ? You're not getting any younger, it's best you find a precessdor " Onoki asked Tsunade.
" Look who's talking, you're older than dirt, Mr Fence Sitter " Tsunade replied.
" Setting aside the matter of Danzō. ,i'm relieved that you are back as the Hokage , Lady Tsunade " Mei stated.
" Let us be done with the greetings and get right to business " Mifune replied.
" What to talk about Lord Mifune ? " Tsunade asked the samurai leader.
" How is the progress with the Nine Tails ? " Mifune asked her.
" He's getting stronger. His growth rate is as high as expected. In just a week, he's already begun to learn Sage Mode . Jiraiya wasn't even at this level of mastery when he started this training at the first week " Tsunade answered.
" That's expected of Naruto , the student of the late Lord Jriaiya " Baki stated.
" I must admit, that kid has impressed me with his stories of his growth rate. Then again , he's that guy's kid after all " A replied with an angry look of his face.
" You still hold a grudge with the Fourth Hokage i see ? " Tsunade asked A.
" He was the one who took the life of my father, he was able to defeat 10,000 Shinobis low on Chakra for 3 days and just when he finally gained enough Chakra again, he was killed by that Yellow Flash. It was bad enough that i couldn't even beat him but another when he took his life, my hatred for the Fourth knows no bounds, but that's water under the bridge "A explained to the group.
" We must put that aside, it was a war , it was nothing personal, besides you still haven't answered for the whole Hyūga affair either Raikage. Anyways, my ANBU team has found the location of the enemy headquarters and are going to conduct a infiltration mission to determine the level of strength of the military strength of the Gotei 13, it could be a trap however it's our best lead so far . We have no choice but to wait for more intel on this " Tsunade explained to Raikage.
" We would like access to that portal technology that your village built so we can also launch a series of intel gathering missions " A said to Tsunade.
" It would be a nice touch to the alliance and would benefit all of us in terms of intel gathering and rapid mobilization " Mei stated supporting Raikage's idea.
" Good idea ! Share and share alike ! " Onoki replied.
" It goes without saying, if we all try to compete for self-interest, the Akatsuki and the Gotei 13 will pull the rug out from under us " A explained to the group.
" Don't worry, there's no way we can do this alone. Here are the blueprints ! " Tsunade said to the group as she hands them the documents to each of the other Kages.
" Excellent ! " Onoki said to the Hokage.
" With this, we can take back Gaara and put an end tho the Gotei 13 " Baki stated.
" With all of this, Lady Chiyo's sacrifice won't be in vain . My student was revived in a selfless effort to help bridge a path to unification after the many years we've been divided by self-interest and nationalism which led to many of these wars and conflicts. In order to win this final war, we must unite and get stronger so we can crush the Gotei 13 " Tsunade explained to the group.
" So have we reached a consensus ? " Mifune asked.
" Yes we have, 3 weeks from now, we will return using these portals to Kumokagure with a force of 15,000 troops and plan out the ultimate counterattack against the Gotei 13 . The success of the entire war rides on Konoha for now, since you're the first village to construct these portals " A explained to everyone.
" Don't worry, Kakashi is leading the team, there's no way we'll fail with him on our side " Tsunade replied.
Present Day
" Everything rides on the success of the team now. If Kakashi fails this mission, we're all doomed " Tsunade said to Shizune.
Meanwhile at Kumokagure
A and his team begin to work on their own portal and think how amazing the speed of it is.
" How is the process of construction of the portal ? " A asked Mabui.
" Lord Raikage, we've just started the construction of the portal " Mabui answered.
" It took Konoha a week to make their portal . It's going to take a while finish the portal " C explained to A.
" Sorry it's just that i can't wait to get some vengeance for what they did to Yugito. That was Darui's girlfriend and they killed her off to form the Ten Tails " A stated.
" Still the level of technology the Soul Society and the Gotei 13 has impressed me to no end . To think that the Fourth Hokage's Justu could be used to this extent " Mabui replied as she thinks back to what she saw earlier.
11 1/2 hours ago
Raikage's office
Raikage is within his office shocked to see Yamato gone so fast when he sees Tsunade appear out of the blue and right at his office .
" What's going on Hokage ? " A asked Tsunade.
" What's going on is that we just found our ticket into getting into the Soul Society " Tsunade answered.
" What is this ? How are you able to get to my office quickly ? " A asked Tsunade.
" We'll explain more of this in Konoha ! " Tsunade replied as she grabs his hand and stabs the kunai into the air with the formula symbol and twists the air around her like opening a door with a key and creates a portal that they travel back into Konoha.
Present Day
" Damn the Fourth Hokage, even to this day, i live under that man's shadow . Now your son has the power of the Nine Tails, would he surpass my power as well as Bee's " Raikage said to himself.
Meanwhile at Mount Myōboku
Naruto has to put the new Sage Mode to the test by trying to do it without the oil however he's failed yet again.
" AWWWWH! Wh-Wh-Wh-What the hell ? ! Help me ! I don't wanna be a frog ! " Naruto shouted as he runs around only to get hit by Fukasaku's stick.
" Calm down ! " Fukasaku said to Naruto.
" Damn, doing it without oil is nearly impossible, can't i just take some of this oil to battle and use it ? " Naruto asked the elder toad.
" This oil can only exist in the atmosphere of Mount Myōboku, and will evaporate if taken outside. Therefore, it would totally useless if you can't do Sage Mode without the Oil " Fukasaku explained to Naruto.
" Damn it, this is really hard ! " Naruto said to himself.
" Let's take five for the day, you're girlfriend is resting after her training, you should too !" Fukasaku stated.
" I guess so ! " Naruto replied as he gets ready to go to sleep.
Meanwhile at the Kurosaki Clinic
Isshin is at the rooftop of his house smoking a cigarette when Ikumi comes upstairs to talk with him.
" So how long are you going to play the normal human father gig towards your son ? " Ikumi asked Isshin.
" I see, it figures you've been dying to ask me that question. What about your own son ? " Isshin answered with a question.
" Difference is that my son isn't a Shinigmai like you son Captain Shiba " Ikumi stated.
" Fair enough but i'm no longer Captain after that incident 20 years ago , former Lieutenant of Squad 5 . Besides ever since i married Masaki, i'm Isshin Kurosaki ! " Isshin replied.
" I've gotten far stronger than a Lieutenant after all these years and last time i checked, i was the Lieutenant of that Squad " Ikumi responded.
" Sadly , i've been rusty for all these years and i'm not just talking about swordsmanship " Isshin said to Ikumi.
" You're still hung up on the fact your wife died aren't you ? " Ikumi questioned the former Captain.
" If only i gained back my powers during that incident, if i had the strength to beat Aizen, that Grand Fisher wouldn't off killed Masaki " Isshin explained to Ikumi.
" Still i wonder what drove wedge between us after all these years ? You came very close to marrying me! " Ikumi said to Isshin.
" That whole event 21 years ago changed our lives when Aizen captured you and nearly killed you " Isshin replied.
" Yep, had that incident never happen , we would be the ones married and i doubt your children would exist " Ikumi stated.
" Yeah however if it wasn't for you getting close to Aizen and getting the intel needed to stop him 20 years ago " Isshin replied.
" I thought i was going to die for sure, thank god Kisuke treated me before this monster killed me " Ikumi said to Isshin.
" Yeah, i already blame myself for the death of Masaki and my previous girlfriend before you. I would've been devastated if i lost a close childhood friend " Isshin replied.
" I doubt you called me here just to talk about your past , why did you really call me here ? " Ikumi asked Isshin.
" Am i the only one who sense that things are off about the Shinobi attacks on us ? " Isshin questioned.
" Ever since the failure of the Dehollowfication bomb, it seems like what we know about the Shinobi isn't so black and white. Something is fishy about all this, i have a feeling that the Shinobi are the least of our problems at the moment " Ikumi explained to Isshin.
" We have to do more investigation on the matter and hope that we can find out what's really going on " Isshin replied.
" I wonder how your son is doing ? " Ikumi asked.
" He's training with the Vizards ! " Isshin answered.
" I see, so he also survived the Hollowfication process , how far has he gotten ? " Ikumi asked Isshin.
" He's still in the developing stages of his Hollowifcation " Isshin answered.
" I see ,he carries an even more powerful form of Hollowifcation, one even the Vizards don't have " Ikumi stated.
" Yep , it's the same kind of Hollow that came close to destroying this city 20 years ago " Isshin replied.
" Until he masters his Evolución form, he's not ready for my training yet " Ikumi responded.
" And once he goes through your training, Ichigo can do something that i've failed to achieve 20 years ago, the Third Release " Isshin said to Ikumi.
" It's said that the 3rd Zanpakutō release can only be achieved once every 1,000 years and attempting release that power just achieving it would cost one their powers " Ikumi explained to Isshin.
" I'm aware of that but it was needed to stop It " Isshin replied.
" I see, still you needed Ryuken's for it as well ,i wish i've could've helped out as well however it took me this long to finally control the monster inside me " Ikumi explained to Isshin.
" Don't blame yourself, you spent years around the world in isolation trying to control that power " Isshin said to Ikumi.
" That is until i got married to my husband back when i was in brazil, it was painful hiding a double life from him regarding my origins but i'm sure you had the same problems with Masaki right ? " Ikumi asked Isshin.
" Yep, she processed no special powers like a Quincy or anything, she was a normal human being who helped me overcome loneliness much like you're Ex husband Umanoite Freqüentes " Isshin explained to Ikumi.
" However unlike your wife, my husband had slight spiritual awareness and was obsessed with the supernatural . He worked within the supernatural branch of the CIA which consists of humans who have seen spirits within the past . Unfortunately that obsession was also his undoing, he died within June 16 ,1994 after we were married for 15 years and left me with a newborn without a father " Ikumi explained to Isshin.
" That was a day before Masaki' s death. What stopped you from saving him ? " Isshin asked Ikumi.
" There was a major hollow outbreak within Sao Paulo that was led by a powerful Vasto Lordes, i was able to kill it with my vastly improved hollows however back in my home within Rio De Janeiro, my husband was attacked and killed by some low-level Hollow. I don't know whether it had to do with the same hollow who killed your wife or not but it seemed intentional as if Aizen was sending a message to me " Ikumi explained to Isshin.
" That sounds alot like what happened to my cousin within the clan 40 years ago " Isshin stated.
" You mean... ? " Ikumi asked only to hear Yuzu calling out Isshin.
" Dad, we're out of water ! " Yuzu said to them behind the door.
" Give me one minute ! " Isshin replied as he goes to help his daughter.
Meanwhile at the Vizard training ground
Ichigo is trying to form his Hollow mask when he gets punched in the face by Kensei again and smashed through 5 three story sized rocks from Kensei's punch. Kensei is within his Evolución while Ichigo hasn't managed to fully master the transformation state.
" What's wrong Ichigo ? Don't tell me it was a fluke . Earlier you proved to be more than a match for Hiyori but now you can't bring out that power again ? " Kensei asked Ichigo in a serious mocking tone.
" Damn it , why won't it come out ? What's going on with me. ? Why can't i draw it out ? " Ichigo said to himself as he gets out the pile of rocks.
" You suck Ichigo ! " Hiyori laughed as she mocks Ichigo.
" Hey don't be jealous that you've yet to come close to that level of power Hiyori " Lisa said to Hiyori.
" What was that four eyes ? " Hiyori shouted at Lisa.
" Don't try to fight me little girl ! " Lisa replied.
" What was that ? " Hiyori shouted as she pulls out her sword only to feel a surge of Reiatsu from Ichigo.
" Is he going to finally achieve it again ? " Mashiro asked Hachigen.
" This has been the 40th time Ichgo has tried in the last few hours " Hachigen answered.
" Hopefully it's not a dud like last time ! " Love stated.
" Don't give your hopes up. We've barely achieved our Evolución " Rose replied.
" Don't count me out yet ! " Ichigo responded as he then retakes control and then unleashes a controlled and condensed Reiatsu around himself to take over the Hollow as the form shatters and explodes and starts to retake a new form .
Ichigo 's mask now has four thick red stripes that appear to emerge outwards from the widened eye-holes of his mask and either disappear into both sides of the lower jaw or travel past the very top of the mask itself. He also has small furry red tufts, two starting from his collarbone and stretching around his neck, and one each on his wrists and ankles. A white armor covers his chest, arms, shoulders and feet.
" He's achieved Evolución again ! " Shinji said to everyone .
" About time ! I was getting bored punching you around ! " Kensei smirked as he takes out his Shikai.
" This is more like it. Time to prove how strong this for is to you ! " Ichigo replied as he dashes at Kensei with his Bankai combined with his hollow powers.
" Kūkiha(空気刃 Air Blades) " Kensei chanted as he swings his blades cutting the mask and shattering Ichigo's Evolución .
" What ? " Ichigo asked shocked to see his mask shattered with ease.
" You didn't pour nearly enough of your Hollow power into it. You rushed the process and as of a result, you've only managed to use 1/5th of your inner Hollow powers " Kensei said to Ichigo as he stands above him disappointed.
" Damn it ! " Ichigo shouted as he tires to hollowfy but he can't summon his mask.
" You've reached your limit for the day, call it quits and rest up for tomorrow " Shinji said to Ichigo.
" Damn it, i was so close ! " Ichigo shouted.
" Don't rush into it Ichigo. We still have until the Winter War ! " Shinji stated.
" I need to get strong enough to save Orihime ! " Ichigo replied.
Meanwhile at the Akatsuki Hideout
" So you suffered within this world ? " Orihime asked the masked man.
" Yes , i was robbed of everything. I lost the love of my life and i learned that the world i lived in was a world of lives " Tobi said to Orihime.
" How sad, is this why you're trying to destroy the world ? " Orihime asked him.
" Yes, however i'm not trying to cause complete destruction Once the 10 tails is reborn, i will cast a Genjustu over the moon and everyone would be free from the world of lies. With this power, there would be no war, no suffering, no thievery, no racism, no murder, no genocide, no rape and no starvation. This world would be born a new " Tobi explained to Orihime.
" Still why at the cost of so many innocent lives ? " Orihime asked Tobi.
" It seems you're naïve as always. Despite spending a good 4 days here, you've still haven't realized what kind of world the Soul King runs " Tobi answered.
" What are you talking about ? " Orihime asked.
" Allow me to reveal to you, the truth of your race " Tobi stated.
" My race ? " Orihime asked.
" Yes, the real reason why you have such god like powers ! " Tobi replied as he activates his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Meanwhile at Las Noches
The Fracción recap their training to get stronger and serve Aizen.
" Those battles were very tough ! " Retrax said to the rest of the group.
" Indeed, we finally have become powerful members of this army " Skeeter replied.
" These Older Arrancar are no joke ! " Drill Bit stated .
" Indeed, we barely won our fights ! " Spitter replied as he thinks back to a few hours ago.
Several Hours ago
Aizen watches his Arrancar army spar with each other.
Retrax is taking on Poww in battle ,the short silver-haired muscular Arrancar is being easily overpowered by Poww's massive strength.
" This is all you got ? " Poww asked Retrax.
" Hardly, i didn't think you would be this strong ! " Retrax answered.
" Come on, release your sword already ! " Poww stated.
" Very well then ! Roll Píldora Bicho ( Spanish for Pill bug) " Retrax chanted as he releases his Zanpakutō and turns into a humanoid pill bug, with armor on his arms and upper back.
" That's more like it , let's get serious ! " Poww stated.
" Right ! " Retrax replied as he curls up into a ball and comes at Poww and clash attacks with each other.
Meanwhile at another ring, Skeeter and Findor clashing attacks with each other . They' re evenly matched at their current state. Both are fighting at a fifth seat level.
" I see, you fight at the level of a 5th seat right now, let's take this up a notch ! 3rd Seat level ! " Findor said to Skeeter as he cracks a bit of his mask until he raises to the level of a 3rd seat.
" Okay, time to get even stronger ! Suck'em dry Zancudo ( Spanish for Mosquito) " Skeeter chanted as he transforms into a humanoid mosquito.
" Let's see what you got ! " Findor said to Skeeter as he comes to clash with Skeeter however he's hit by the long needle like nose and starts to steal blood from Findor..
" My Resurrección powers allows me to double my strength by every 500 millimeters of blood i drink. When i'm in release form, i'm only at the level of a 3rd seat, i can continue to grow up until i surpass Vice Captain level, i can handle up to 5,000 millimeters of blood " Skeeter explained to Findor.
Meanwhile at another arena, Mila is easily kicking around Drill bit without using her sealed sword . Drill Bit gets back up and goes to fight again.
" Come on, you're stronger than that ! " Mila said to the brown-haired Arrancar.
" I won't disappoint Lord Aizen ! Drill 'em Gorgojo ( Spanish for Weevil) " Drill Bit chanted as he turn his arm into a humanoid weevil with a drill for a right hand. Which is his basic weapons.
Meanwhile Loly is clashing with her dagger against the overweight Arrancar.
" Not bad, you're pretty tough ! " Loly said to Spitter.
" Same here ! " Spitter replied as he goes to releases his sword.
" Then let's do this ! Poison Escolopendra (Spanish for Centipede ) " Loly chanted as she unleashes her Resurrección form .
" Infect Rana Dardo Venenosa ( Spanish for Poison Dart Frog) " Spitter countered as he turns himself into a light blue colored humanoid overweight frog and wields a hand-held flail. His skin is cover with a deadly blue toxin.
" Take this ! " Loly shouted as she smacks Spitter with her deadly poison tentacle however the poison does nothing to him
" My body also contains a lethal poison that makes poison useless against me . One touch of my skin and my opponents are infected with a deadly poison. My poison prevents nerves from transmitting impulses, leaving the muscles in an inactive state of contraction. This can lead to heart failure or fibrillation. It can bypass even Hierro if even a small starch is found on it and the poison can kill regardless of Reiatsu level " Spitter explained to Loly.
Meanwhile Skika and Gigo clash attacks with each other and are evenly matched with each other .
" This is getting good ! " Gigo said to Skika as he clashes blades with the Arrancar.
" Indeed, let's stop playing around ! " Skika replied as he goes to release his sword.
" Bite Off Tigre Estoque ( Spanish for Tiger Rapier) " Gigo chanted as he releases his Zanpakutō.
" Slice Cigarra ( Spanish for Cicada) " Skika chanted as he turns him into a humanoid cicada, who wields two-bladed wing shape swords.

His right hand turn into a bladed snapping-claw and his is left hand becomes the shape of an iguana's head.
Meanwhile Terragator and Sung-sun clash attacks with each other . Terra has better power and defense while Sung-sun has better agility and speed.
" Let's see what you can do to me ! " Sun Sun said to the new Arrancar.
" Fine, i'll crush you with my power ! " Terragator replied as he goes to release his Zanpakutō.
" Strangle to death Anaconda ( Spanish for Anaconda) " Sun Sun chants as she releases her Zanpakutō.
" Crunch 'em Tortuga Acuática Caimán ( Spanish for Terrapin Alligator) " Terragator chanted as he releases his Zanpakutō which covers his body in scales. In his left hand he wields a spike shield shape as a turtle's shell and his is right hand wields a large saw bladed broadsword.
Meanwhile Inyector and Shawlong are evenly matched in battle .
" Not bad new recruit ! " Shawlong said to Inyector.
" I know, it's exciting to finally being an Arrancar ! " Inyector replied.
" Now let's wrap things up and see how well you fare against my full power . Snip Tijereta (Spanish for Earwig ) " Shawlong chanted as he uses his release from
" Sting 'em Pez León Avispón ( Spanish for Lionfish Hornet) " Inyector countered as he his head morphs into the shape of a lionfish, while his body the shape of a humanoid hornet. His right had turns into a stinger.
Both fighters clash attacks with each other however Shawlong sees darts come at him.
" Those things are coated with poison ! " Shawlong said to himself as he uses Sonído as he dodges the attack.
" Smart move to dodge those darts. Each of those darts are designed to pierce Arrancar Hierro and inject anyone hit with lionfish poison. The venom can cause systemic effects such as extreme pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, breathing difficulties, convulsions, dizziness, redness on the affected area, headache, numbness, paresthesia (pins and needles) and sweating, it renders you incapable of fighting so i can use my stinger to score a direct fatal blow " Inyector explained to Shawlong as he goes to aim another series of darts at Shawlong.
Meanwhile Taransu is being overpowered by Yylfordt who has the edge in brute strength.
" Hahahaha, is that all you got ? " Yylfordt arrogantly laughed as Taransu gets back up.
" I'm not done yet . Swing Tarántula (Spanish for Tarantula) " Taransu chanted as he turns him into a humanoid looking spider with eight bladed spider legs appearing on his back and he wields a saw bladed sword.
" You think releasing your sword is going to make a difference ? I'm way stronger than you, hahahahaha ! " Yylfordt shouted with an arrogant laugh only to be pierced by one of the blades and feels his body going numb.
" You left your guard down, each of my legs contain a deadly poison which paralyses any limb i hit and slowly kills you off " Taransu said to the Arrancar.
" You tricked me ! " Yylfordt shouted.
" You should've used Pesquisa to know whether i was holding back or not " Tarnasu replied with an evil smile.
" Shut the fuck up! Skewer Del Toro (Spanish for Of the Bull ) " Yylfordt chanted as releases his sword and attacks with blind rage and fury.
Meanwhile Wasupītā and Fran are also fighting each other.
" You're an excellent fighter ! " Fran said to Wasupītā.
" Thanks ! " Wasupītā replied.
" Now let's see what power you have ! " Fran stated .
" Sting Avispa (wasp) " Wasupītā chanted as he turns into a green humanoid wasp with bug eyes and clear wings on his back. His left arm become a black and yellow sting.
" Propel, Libelula ( Spanish for Dragonfly) " Fran chanted as he draws out his sword and releases his sword .
Meanwhile at another ring Inferuno and Edrad fight with each other with each fo them turning into release forms .
" Burn'em Hormiga de Fuego (Spanish for Fire Ant) " Inferuno chanted as he turns into a red humanoid fire ant.
"Erupt Volcánica ( Spanish for Volcanic ) " Edard chanted as he releases his sword.
" It seems both of us use flames ! " Inferuno said to Edard.
" It's going to be very tough to fight you with flames ! " Edard stated.
" Now let's see which drone in this colony has the best fire power within this royal army " Inferuno replied.
And within the last arena Kuikku and Avirama are fighting each other in battle.
" Dat's more like it ! " Kuikku shouted as he fires a series of 6 Balas from each of his western styled Bala revolvers but Avirama dodges the shots.
" Not bad , you seem yo enjoy fighting new recruit " Avirama said to the trigger happy cowboy.
" I just love fightin' and shootin' stuff ! " Kukiku replied.
" Then let's shoot it out . Scalp Águila ( Spanish for Eagle ) " Avirama chanted as he releases his sword.
" Very well then. Shoot 'em up Cobra de Alacrán ( Spanish for Cobra Scorpion) " Kukiku countered as he releases his sword. His body is covered in armor and scales. His left hand/arm becomes a pincer claw and his right hand/arm became a cobra's head, while a scorpion's tail appears on his back.
" Devorar Pluma (Spanish for Devouring Feather ) " Avirama chanted as he fires bullet like feathers at 12,000 feathers per minute.
" Feliz Disparo (Spanish for Happy Trigger) " Kikku countered as he fires a wave of green bullets from his pincer claw and scorpion tail which melt the feathers.
" What the hell ? " Avirama asked shocked to see his feathers cancels out.
" My Resurrección gives me the power to melt through defenses with highly acidic bullet like stingers and if bitten by the Cobra head , the foe is poisoned with cobra venom, which is just as dangerous as a real cobra's venom and if stung by is scorpion tail the opponent is poison with scorpion's poison " Kikku explained to Avirama.
" I see, things are finally getting interesting ! " Avirama replied.
Present Day
" I have to say, it's great being an Arrancar ! " Inferuno said to his new friends.
" It beats being a Hollow constantly struggling to get food everyday " Kikku stated.
" We used to struggle with no one there to protect us and never had friends , now we have retained our humanity " Shadow explained to the group.
" Yeah, i feel safe within this massive fortress " Terragator stated.
" Indeed, it's as if no one can hurt us anymore ! " Inyector replied.
" Where's that Taransu guy ? " Wasupītā asked.
" We don't know ! " Terragator answered.
Meanwhile at Moradath's Palace
Moradarth gets a call from Taranstu about the operation.
" I got some intel on some of the projects Lord Aizen has been working on " Tarnasu said to Moradarth.
" Good, you might want to get out of there, you don't want to be caught in the explosion " Moradarth stated.
" Can you honestly trust that Arrancar Patros ? " Tanranstu asked Moradarth .
" Trust me , he's not lying. I can tell from the hate he spewed earlier " Moradarth answered as he thinks back to the past.
Earlier Today
Patros is talking with the King of Western Huecdo Mundo .
" So the former First Espada returned to Las Noches and Shinigami attacked and severely damaged Las Noches ? " Mordrath asked.
" Yep ! " Patros answered.
" I see , that changes everything, i'll gladly aid you in taking down Las Noches " Mordrath stated as he crushed part of his throne with his bare hand.
" You seem to hold a grudge with Aizen and Skullak " Patros said to the king.
" The Tuma family was a rival family to the Luisenbarn family and the son of Jango Tuma was a threat to the power that my family held for centuries . I also resented how my brother was able to take the throne before me . I one day met Aizen within Hueco Mundo and i made a deal with him to try to get rid of my competition, the Tuma House and Barragan . Aizen was looking to test his newly created Hōgyoku out on suitable targets and test the limits of his power, he managed to attack the Tuma house and kill all but the two people i wanted dead the most " Mordrath explained to Patros.
" So you're the one behind the Tuma house massacre ? " Patros asked.
" Yep, i was convinced that he was dead for many years. Lord Aizen then left Hueco Mundo for 50 years stating that the Hōgyoku wasn't ready yet and he knew that the Luisenbarn family was too powerful. My brother ruled Las Noches for centuries after he defeated me the first time when i tried to claim the throne. I tried to get stronger to fight him however my brother bested me in combat every time and he still remained the King of Hueco Mundo . Refusing to allow myself to be below my brother, i seeked out Lord Aizen again and set up my own private army that i would plan to use when the time came around. 45 years ago Aizen returned to Hueco Mundo and he was ready to take it over " Mordrath explained to Skullak.
" So what did you do ? " Patros asked.
" I outed out my brother and hoped that Aizen would have him killed off . He made a deal with me that he was planning to make the Espadas, an élite fighting force. I was promised to be made the 1st Espada of Aizen's new army in exchange for the death of my brother Barragan " Mordrath explained to Patros.
" So you were willing to throw away your title as king to serve the Shinigami ? " Patros asked Moradarth .
" Of course not, in reality i hated Aizen and hated the fact he would come to Hueco Mundo and take over the sacred land of the Hollows however i knew that i was incapable at the time of beating him in battle. He was able to kill Jango Tuma, one of Barragan's most powerful men. At the time, i was only on par with Jango. Aizen didn't even use his Shikai against the man yet he was able to beat him without a starch With the Hōgyoku, he was too powerful, i was hoping by becoming his right hand man, i can eventually take away the Hōgyoku and kill Aizen so i can finally be King of Hueco Mundo " Moradarth explained to Patros.
" And even then it sees you were betrayed of your promise ! " Patros replied.
" Yes because shortly after Aizen's takeover of Hueco Mundo, Skullak was revealed to have survived the massacre and became the First Espada before me , i was mad at Aizen for that and i constantly fought for the position for the First Espada, a year passed and i officially gave up and became the Second Espada. That's when i learn that Aizen lied about his second promise as Barragan was revealed to still be alive and was made the 3rd Espada up until he was replaced by Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck and he continued to fall down the ladder " Moradarth explained to Patros.
" How is it that King Barragan fall down so low in the ladder ? " Patros asked.
" Barragan refused to become an Arrancar, his power remained the same while other people grew stronger than him. That factor is what drove him to only be Privaron # 102 for the longest, eventually he swallowed his pride and became an Arrancar like the rest of us. He wasn't happy about that but i was even less happy he was alive. I spent 15 years there trying to gain Aizen's trust while plotting to take him down in secret. I was able to take the blueprints of the Hōgyoku and copy them to make my own thanks to my top scientist Tarran Granz " Moradarth explained to Patros.
" Yylfordt younger and Szayel's older brother ? " Patros asked.
" Yes, he was a candidate for 8th Espada but his brother stole the spot and he joined me within the exiled group " Moradarth answered.
" Why steal the blueprints when you could take the real deal ? " Patros asked.
" There was a major setback, you recall the Las Noches Assault by the lone Shinigami ? " Moradarth asked .
" Yes, the incident when former 10th division Captain and candidate for Squad Zero Isshin Kurosaki stormed Las Noches and nearly destroyed it " Patros answered.
" Yes, Aizen used that Hōgyoku during his battle with him. It was clear the Hōgyoku was going to be destroyed by the Shinigami as the clash of their Reiatsu despite being 100 miles away . While Aizen fought the Shinigami, i used the opportunity to take the Hōgyoku and with a handful of my followers, i left to form my home here in Western Hueco Mundo " Moradarth explained to Patros .
" So you seem to have the same hatred for Aizen as well for taking over the sacred land of Hollows ? " Patros asked.
" Indeed, i despise the Shinigami. I always have and always will. They hunt us down and try to exterminate us , Hollows are the master race and therefore should rule not only Hueco Mundo but the Soul Society and the Human World. Once i finish the Hōgyoku, i will kill Aizen to take his newly completed version and then fuse it with my own to make myself the true god of this entire world " Moradarth explained to Patros.
" You can fuse Hōgyokus ? " Patros asked.
" Of course you can, the Hōgyoku was created from numerous failed Hōgyokus fused into one . Fusing two completed ones should drastically increase it's power to the point even the Soul King is an insect by comparison " Moradarth answered.
" So would you help me with the revenge ? " Patros asked.
" Of course but only on the condition that you bring me Aizen's Hōgyoku and don't attempt to use it for yourself. I have 5 minions to follow you to make sure you're kept in line . Go to Tarran and ask him to make bombs for you " Moradarth answered.
" I see, i won't disappoint you ! " Patros stated.
" Very well then , get the job done and i'll make you part of my élite royal guard " Moradarth replied.
Present Day
" So he's opposed Aizen that much ? " Tarnastu asked his king.
" Indeed , his hatred for Sōsuke rivals my own and it would be thanks to him that we finally bring down the place " Moradarth answered.
" What would happen if he was by some chance a spy sent to capture Los Monstruos ? " Tarnastu asked Moradarth.
" In exchange of giving him increased power with the Hōgyoku, i also placed a seal on him like everyone else who ever thought of betraying this organization . He would be left paralyzed and other members of the group would be aware he's a traitor and he'll be killed before he can use his Zanpakutō " Moradarth explained to Tarnastu.
" Just like you master, having everything planned along ! " Tarnastu stated.
" Indeed, Aizen's not to only cunning tactical genius in Hueco Mundo . I've waited 20 years to seize this opportunity, in less than a year, our Hōgyoku would be complete, with Aizen's completed Hōgyoku he stole from Kisuke Urahara, we would not only be able to take down his regime over the lands of Hueco Mundo and make this world ours again but take over the Soul Society and World of the Living " Moradarth replied explaining his plans.
Meanwhile in the Hueco Mundo desert
Patros and his group travel through the desert with an élite commando unit from Moradarth's forces known as Los Monstrous .
One of the Arrancars assisting Patros is a tall Arrancar with short purple hair and teal eyes and wears a white uniform. His mask remains take the form of a helmet that covers all his head with exception of his face. His Zanpakutō take the form of a katana with purple hilt. Another Arrancar has yellow eyes, and shoulder length blue hair and wears a gray uniform and his mask remains take the form of a shark fin in his back. His Zanpakutō takes the form of a trident
Alongside the first two Arrancars is an short Arrancar who is as tall as Zommari but he is quite muscular, and he has long lavender colored hair and red eyes and he wears a navy blue scientist uniform and his mask remains take the form of a three-pointed thin circlet around his head. His Zanpakutō takes the form of a cleaver. The next member is a slim Arrancar with spiky light blue hair and yellow eyes and sharp teeth and he wears a yellow uniform . His Zanpakutō takes the form of a wakizashi with golden blade.
Another member of the Arrancar group is a short muscular man with shoulder green length hair and yellow eyes. He wears a green and red uniform and his mask remains is a helmet that covers back part of his head. His Zanpakutō is a battle hammer. Alongside him is a young man with short black greenish hair, yellow eyes and he wears a black and orange uniform.
The last member has long yellow hair and red eyes and his lower bird jaw in his chin and he wears blue grayish Zanpakutōs takes the form of a pair of Butterfly swords.
" So what is the plan Honorary member of Lord Moradarth's forces ? " the purple hair Arrancar asked Patros.
" Lord Moradarth has asked me to have you guys aid me in my mission Han " Patros answered addressing the purple haired leader of the commando group.
" Raids are what we specialize in, ever since the construction of our own Las Noches , we have conquered the entire western region of Hueco Mundo and took out opposing fractions while taking in stronger forces and fusing them in our army " Han explained to Patros.
" And that's why Lord Moradarth has entrusted you to aid me in the destruction of Las Noches " Patros stated.
" Destruction of Las Noches ? What about Halibel or my cousin ? " the blue hair Arrancar asked.
" They're enemies Rippa ! " the long yellow hair Arrancar answered.
" We can't just kill my cousin and the love of my life ! " Rippa stated.
" Katto has a point, we can't warn them at all. Besides, you think trying to get caught by the Espada is wise ? No one can take on an Espada in this group aside from Patros " the long lavender colored hair Arrancar stated.
" Still, i really wish that Rey and Halibel were bought into that bastard's lies Butto " Rippa replied.
" I can't wait to see how powerful these explosives are " spiky light blue hair said to the other Arrancars.
" It's going to be fun watching them Shinigami sympathizers burn to death " said a short black greenish Arrancar.
" Evil as always Poueru, then again killing people is what we do best " a shoulder length green hair Arrancar stated.
" This is why you and i are cut out for this line of work Sunappa " Poueru replied back.
" Soon we'll have the Hōgyoku and then all the Arrancars in Las Noches and Lord Aizen would be flattened under the weight of their massive fortress " Patros said to his men as he heads towards Las Noches.
Back at the Vandenreich base
Kakashi, Sai, Yūgao and Yamato learn more about the fate of the Quinces .
" So that's what happened ? " Kakashi asked Haschwald.
" Indeed, we've been planning for years to form this liberation front Of Quinces to take on the Gotei 13 Captains and their army " Haschwald explained to the group as they walk down the assembly hall where they see hundred of human soldiers lined up in an orderly fashion.
" Who are all these troops ? " Sai asked the leader.
" These are the Vandenreich soldat (German for "Soldier), they are common grunts within our forces. There are around 2,600 of them under our deploy and each are descendants of Quincy from 200 years ago . They're easily on par with a unseated officer in power and are the frontline forces that we plan to use to counter the Gotei 13's unseated officer army " Haschwald explained to Kakashi.
" What about those other guys standing within the balcony up there ? " Yamato asked.
" Those are the Jagdarmee ( German for "Hunting) Army), there are 260 of them and they specialize within gathering recruitment from defective Shinigmai much like the two contacts who found you two . They range from seated officer level to Vice Captain level in power " Haschwald explained to the group.
" And the one's in the smaller upper balcony ? " Kakashi questioned the leader.
" Those are the The Stern Ritter ( German for Star Knights ). They are 26 of my strongest warriors. Each of them are least Captain level with the top four being on the level of an Elder Captain. Member's A, B ,C and D are all on the level of what you might consider Kage . Alphabet's between E and I are around high tier Jōunin /Captain level like you Kakashi , letters I to O are mid Jōunin/Captain level and letters P to Z are barely Captain level " Haschwald explained to the group.
" I see , you have quite an organized group here. Ever consider joining the allied Shinobi Forces ? " Yūgao asked him.
" We prefer to stay neutral for now, we can't risk being caught before we complete our goals and have fully assembled our forces " Haschwald answered.
" I see , still we kinda helped weaken the Gotei 13 for you, why not help us out ? " Yamato asked the Vandereich Leader.
" Have you already forgotten the Arrancars ? The Gotei 13 has them as backup in case their army was weakened . These guys are pros, charging in without a strategy would be suicide and while we have surveillance them every once in a while, we lost countless field agents to their dread experiments from their 12th division " Haschwald explained to the group.
" I see, so that's what's stopping you from attacking ? " Kakashi questioned the leader.
" Yep, that's why we seeked you guys out . You're the best in dealing with these missions and we can't risk sending out any more field agents and non one in the Steinn Ritter are skilled enough to carry out a stealth mission as good as you Shinobi , therefore i wish to make a deal with you guys " Haschwald explained to them .
" What is this deal ? " Kakashi asked.
" As you see, the secret and the blueprints of the Gotei 13 architecture, technology and military positions would benefit both sides. Bring this to us and in exchange, we will arm you with some of our best technology and when the time comes, we will aid you in your invasion of the Gotei 13 and take down their dictatorship " Haschwald explained to the group.
" How can we be sure that you're not trying to use us for your own personal gains ? " Yamato asked the leader.
" Trust me, if that was the case, i'll be forcing you , not asking you and besides we all have everything to gain with bringing down the Gotei 13. They've killed countless Quinces in the past and we want payback for the oppression and genocide befallen on our race . Most of the Quincy were destroyed by the Shinigami over 200 years ago, the Shinigami leader used the vast powerful of thousands of Quinces to form the Tailed Beasts " Haschwald explained to the group.
" And now they have regained 7 of those Tailed Beasts including the Jinchūriki which is the Kazekage " Kakashi stated.
" Let's not forget the 100,000 force army with 7 tailed beasts. Mind you it only took 3,000 just to take out your village . At most, there are only 2,886 troops in my army. That's not nearly enough to fight the forces of the Gotei 13 and killing 1,500 troops is hardly enough to faze their military power " Haschwald explained to them.
" He has a point, there's really nothing he can gain from all this. Even if he tried to pul a fast one on us, he knows that the Gotei 13 would use their numbers to crush him and his group of resistance forces and needs the aid of thousands of Shinobi to carry out his goals " Sai explained to the group.
" At the same time, without them we would be sending troops to wander aimlessly within this world and we'll lose " Yamato stated.
" Well with all things considered, you have yourself a deal. We'll breach the Soul Society and get their secrets from within " Kakashi replied as he shakes hands with Haschwald .
" Very well, it's best we rest for the night for starting tomorrow, we'll take down the Gotei 13 ! " Haschwald responded.
Meanwhile at Moradarth's palace
Moradarth sits on his throne thinking about Patros and how much of an impression he's let on him.
" Patros, you've gained the respect of my élite force La Guradia in just your first meeting . I remember how you well you spoke with my troops " Moradarth said to himself.
Several hours ago
Patros is walking around when he sees the gathered forces alongside the throne Moradarth assembled.
" You came just in time to see my élite fighting force " Moradarth said to Patros.
" I see , so who are these guys ? " Patros asked Moradarth.
" They're my élite guard known as La Guardia ! " Moradarth answered.
" La Guradia ? Isn't that the name of the original Espada ? " Patros asked.
" Yep, i have formed my élite force modeled after the original and have 10 loyal followers. Allow me to introduce them all to you my guest ,everyone introduce yourselves " Moradarth replied.
" We 're twins Paunsu and Uingu Supan " said two identical twins with white hair and red eyes.
Both of the Arrancars are wearing white and teal uniforms but the only thing that can tell them apart are their mask remains which are like helmets. Paunsu is shaped like a Puma's skull, while his brother Uingu is shape like a eagle's skull.
" Both of them are master spies that can sneak into any place with being captured. Paunsu is more of the muscle of the two and is vicious, nasty, wily, silent, deadly and merciless and enjoys fighting more while his brother Uingu is more of the brains of the two. He enjoys gathering information and data on the enemy rather than fight them . They're the 9th strongest of my army " Mordath explained to the Arrancar .
" Basically they can go toe to toe with the 9th Espada i presume ? " Patros asked the king.
" Yes, they were once Gillains but they were a special kind of Gillain that devoured an Adjuchas while the Adjuchas was off-guard and managed to kill it before it can fight back. They were super intelligence Gillains that evolved into Adjuchas shortly before i found them " Moradarth explained to Patros.
" My name is Rokku Daun, the 10th strongest Arrancar within King Moradarth's army " said a slim but slightly muscular man on his forties. He's a balding middle-aged man that has four black marks on his face , two on his chin and two on his forehead and he has black eyes and wears a green armor with spikes on the shoulders and has a purple glove in the left hand and a hook in place of his right hand.
" So are you Gillian level ? " Patros asked him.
" Yes but unlike many Gillians, i process the ability to steal any power i desired mean i can kill even someone who's on the level of the Espada " Rokku answered.
" My name is Eipu Feisu Zodd, the 8th strongest Arrancar " said large , muscular Arrancar with dark blue hair and red eyes. He wears a black and white standard uniform and his mask remains is a bone plate with teeth on his jawline.
" I remember you, you were Demoura's older brother and part of Aizens army " Patros said to Zodd.
" Aizen's a douchebag, i hate Aizen, me crush Aizen with my power " Eipu shouted.
" He seems to share almost the same level of intelligence as his brother, not saying much about him " Patros said to himself.
" My name is Sunappu Doragon, the 6th strongest Arrancar in Moradarth's army " said a fine-looking Arrancar with red eyes and shoulder-length white hair. He wears a black, white, and purple uniform with his mask remains being a helmet that looks like a reptile's skull.
" My name is Sukaru , i'm the 5th strongest Arrancar of Moradarth's army " said a tough slightly muscular man with black eyes and shoulder-length black hair. He wears a green and dark pink uniform and his mask remains are a gator's lower jaw with hangs around his neck.
" It would be interesting to see what you can do against Ninorta " Patros stated.
" I wish i can fight him right now ! " Sunappu replied.
" My name is Waipu Cifer, " said a black-haired Arrancar with red eyes talking with a Transylvanian accent. He's wearing a black and purple uniform. and his mask remains look like bat ears on the side of his head.
" Wait, i know you . Aren't you the brother of Ulquiorra ? " Patros asked.
" So he does exist in Las Noches ? It's been many years since i saw him, i was found more recently by Moradarth around 15 years ago and learned how much of a sellout my brother has become " Wapiu stated .
" I see, indeed he's a sellout , so are you also ranked four strongest ? " Patros replied with a question.
" Yes i am ! " Wapiu replied.
" My name is Wiādou Rufu Starrk " said a good-looking Arrancar with red eyes and long white hair . His mask remains is a helmet in the shape of a wolf's skull and he wears a yellow and dark teal uniform.
" So you're the cousin of Coyote Starrk ? I assume you're the most powerful fighter here " Patros asked the Arrancar.
" Nope, 3rd strongest Arrancar , i 'm aware my cousin came to Las Noches 3 months after our major defect right. That was the same time i found Lord Moradarth and now it seems my long-lost cousin is a sellout traitor to the Hollow race " Rufu stated.
" Indeed he is ! " Patros replied only to notice something off with the picture.
Patros sees a Shinigmai standing their with the rest of the Arrancars. He stands 6'3 feet tall, and wearing a white, sleeveless and legless Shinigmai uniform. He is half cyborg with powerful robotic arms, and robotic legs with talon like feet. He has short black hair and golden reptilian like eyes.
" What are you looking at ? " the Shinigami asked Patros.
" What is a Shinigami doing here with us Hollows ? " Patros asked as he looks at him with intense anger .
" My name is Jeff Sheelal, i was a former Shinigami who holds a personal grudge against Sosuke Aizen and i'm the second strongest Arrancar and Shinigami in Moradarth's army " the Shinigami answered.
" What grudge do you hold against Aizen ? " Patros asked.
" I used to be one of his enforcers shortly before the guy became a Vice Captain " Jeff answered.
" So you used to be in the same squad ? " Patros asked.
" I was the 3rd seat of Squad 5 however i was able to master Bankai and was nearly Captain level and Aizen was only a 5th seat. Despite that, Aizen was still stronger than me but we both had the same goals, we lost our folks to the Soul Society who ordered the Gotei 13 to kill off all the people within the 63rd Rukongai district in west Rukongai in 1801 A.D . We joined the Shinigami academy at the same time and stood above the competition of our class and became friends " Jeff explained to Patros.
" How close were you to Aizen ? " Patros asked Jeff.
" We killed countless people together while fighting anyone we pleased to achieve our goals. I was the brains of the group, i was the one who originally developed the Hōgyoku idea after learning on how the Ōken and Ōin were made. Me and Aizen then came up with the idea of absorbing souls to form the Hōgyoku " Jeff explained to Patros.
" I'm assuming you were betrayed by Aizen ? " Patros asked him.
" Yes, if anything it all started when we discovered who were the ones who killed our family . The Shinigami responsible was Captain Shin Saido of the 12th Division who served as a Captain for 45 years who was Vice Captain at the time he killed our family, Shiragiku Fukyū , the lieutenant of Squad 10 who served as Vice Captain since the end of the war 60 years and Haru Hinamori from the Kidō division who served as Vice Kidō Chief for 50 years. 140 years ago we ambushed them and killed them off. They were the very first souls sacrificed to form the Hōgyoku however it wasn't nearly enough " Jeff explained to Patros.
" I'm assuming you made more sacrifices ? " Patros asked the Shinigami.
" For the next 3 months we killed over 20,000 souls to form the Hōgyoku. You might think of me as hypocritical for doing such a thing but compared to the 200,000 souls killed in our district alone to maintain this balance and the countless lives they take from Hollows and Quinces, it was small beans, especially if it was a cause to overthrow the Soul King and the Royal Guard however as time went on, people started to catch on to the murders. Aizen was almost caught by the Gotei 13 and that's when he set me up " Jeff explained to the blue haired Arrancar.
" How did that play out ? " Patros asked.
" It started when we found out the family of the Captain that murdered our district. They were living within the 1st district of West Rukongai , Junrinan. I went there and was about to kill his 15-year-old daughter however Aizen stopped me and had the Omitsukidō arrest me . Me and Aizen both welded illusion based Shikais however my power controlled people with sounds while his bended light , regardless, i was framed for the murder and Aizen stole my blueprints as well as Kisuke Urahara and went to make Hōgyokus for themselves ripping off my idea " Jeff explained to Patros ranting about it.
" So they stole your blueprints and basically left you for dead ? " Patros asked.
" Kisuke only got wind of my Hōgyoku idea only 30 years after i was arrested, he probably didn't know Aizen was already developing it on it and used the rare Reisutōnsage minerals to make his version as opposed to Aizen who continued to kill people to fuel his Hōgyoku .Regardless, i was pissed that i was set up and was going to be executed. 111 years ago ,i was able to break out of Nest of Maggots and attempted to get revenge on Aizen but he took away my Shinigami powers and left me for dead . He perfected his Bankai and at that point he absorbed so much power from his experimental Hōgyoku, including Shin Saido's strength , Haru Hinamori 's Kidō skills and Shiragiku Fukyū's Hakuda skills with his already Captain level Reiatsu to make himself a monster " Jeff explained to the Arrancar.
" How did you survive ? " Patros questioned the Shinigami.
" I was saved by a rogue group of scientists and doctors who defected from the Gotei 13 and joined a resistance movement and attempted to kill Aizen again several years later however i was driven to exile and tried to form my own Hōgyoku however with the lost of my Shinigami powers due to Aizen stripping them away with the Hōgyoku, i can never achieve the power twice the level of a Captain and tried with limited results to make myself Captain level . Then i met Moradarth and things changed, thanks to him i can now screw over the bastard " Jeff explained to Patros.
" So you must be the strongest one here ? " Patros asked.
" Not i'm only #2 in La Guardia, had i still maintain my Bankai, i could've easily been number 1 but due to the fact i can only use my Shikai and Hollow powers instead of Bankai, i'm only #2, the strongest one goes to him " Jeff replied as he points at the strongest member.
" Jeff is the most valuable and intelligent member next to Tarran however he's not the strongest. Meet Bludgeon, the only man who has fought Aizen to a stand still once only losing to his Bankai " Moradarth said to Jeff as he sees an Arrancar stand up.
He appears and a mid-aged man in his fifties with shoulder-length brown hair and green eyes with a mustache and bread. He wears a red kimono with an orange outfit and his mask remain his a samurai's helmet on his head. His Zanpakutō take the form of and ancient Japanese sword with a red hilt.
" My name is Konbō Mifune Sōdoītā but you can call me Bludgeon , i'm the right hand man of Lord Moradarth " the middle-aged Arrancar answered.
" So you were able to take on Aizen ? " Patros asked.
" I remember him alright it was 80 years ago when he attacked my village and tried to enslave however we weren't going down without a fight. Aizen had been responsible for the previous takedowns of several large clans usually taking the disguise of other Shinigami and was motivating and influencing the politics within the Gotei 13 to aggressively kill Hollows, Quinces and other threats to the Soul Society while killing his own comrades off and pretending to be a savior to the Hollows and try to build his own army to take on the Soul Society making him a rigid two-faced hypocrite and a highly dishonorable man " Bludgeon explained to Patros.
" So that's the kind of person Aizen is ? " Patros asked .
" All the reason i seeked to kill him, he murdered everyone in the village but me. I came at him with all the power i had, i was a Vasto Lorde but after the incident that occurred with the Tuma house, he was above even that level. I was able to ascend into a Arrancar naturally and boasted my power and was able to nearly defeat him , i even saw through the illusions of his Kyōka Suigetsu that is until he used his Bankai. I went with him with my strongest attack but before i can land a hit, i was cut down and left for dead not realizing what happened to me " Bludgeon explained to Patros.
" So he let you live ? " Patros asked.
" It was to purposely spit in the face of my honor, he should've given me an honorable death but in reality ,he was worse than Satan himself .Leaving me alive . The only thing that prevented me from offing myself was the fact Aizen lived. He was making himself into a false prophet and was using everyone around him whether it was the Shinigami or the Hollows, it made it even more unsettling that he processed the ability to control all five senses of a person, which combined with his masterful manipulation makes him very dangerous , he must be brought down at all costs " Bludgeon stated .
" Each of these Arrancar and hollows you see here have seen the truth behind Aizen, they see Aizen as nothing more but a parasite who uses people for their own gain. He's trampled over what was once a great society of clans , of the hundreds of years the Shinigami attacked and slaughtered countless intelligent hollows such as Adjuchas and Vasto Lordes, Aizen has done the worst damage possible to this world. Once the time comes, we will take back this world " Moradarth said to Patros as all the Arrancars cheer for the death of Aizen.
" DEATH TO AIZEN ! DOWN WITH THE TYRANT ! " the followers shouted as they all want Aizen dead.
Present Day
" Patros, you have potential to be a King one day ! " Moradarth said to himself.
Meanwhile at Las Noches
Skullak and Cirucci lie in bed together both naked only covered with a blanket.
" It seems like the Arrancar army is growing by the day ! " Skullak said to Cirucci .
" Indeed, soon we'll be able to challenge the Shinigmai and defeat them once and for all " Criucci replied.
" Indeed, it sees like my speech earlier really motivated them " Skullak replied.
14 hours ago
" So what about us ? " Yldloft asked.
" You guys will go through a series of tests and exercises to improve you're fighting abilities " Skullak answered.
" Given the fact we were killed by Shinigami, this only serves how more critical the threat they are " Shawlong stated.
" Even their 3rd seats have Bankai now ! " Edard replied.
" Hell i was killed by an unseated officer, i didn't expect them to be this strong " Di Roy said to the Arrancars.
" So the Shinigami are that strong now ? " Arivawa asked.
" How did they grow to be this strong ? " Charlotte questioned the other Arrancars.
" The Shinigami have long anticipated a war with us, ever since the last invasion 20 years ago they've grown stronger and more organized They even acquired powers similar to our own by killing our hollow brothers and sisters and consuming them for power. That's how the Shinigami known as Ichigo Kurosaki was able to cause so much damage, by killing our brothers and sisters and consuming them along with the Shinigami as well as the Gotei 13. We must fight back by becoming even stronger than them " Skullak explained to the Arrancars.
" We're not going to let them treat us like this, for too many years we lived in the fear of master Harribel being killed off like the rest of the Vasto Lordes " Mila said to the other Arrancars.
" I heard stories about Shinigmai coming here every once in a while and wiping out large settlements of Hollows but Lord Aizen was different He saved us and even Master Harribel from another Vasto Lordes from killing us or even worse " Apache stated.
" And that's why we must make sure that Lord Aizen's goals are achieved .We must become stronger for Lord Aizen and all become more powerful so that an event like what happened this past Monday never happens again " Skullak stated as everyone cheers for his speech.
Present Day
" I must also train in order to get my revenge on Isshin Shiba " Skullak said to Cirucci.
" Don't worry, you'll get your chance soon enough ! " Cirucci replied.
Saturday October 6, 2001 Midnight
10 miles west of Las Noches
Patros and his team make it to Las Noches near the western entrance where Taransu is at.
" So you guys have arrived ? " Taransu asked them.
" Our time has come, we've arrived to carry out Lord Moradarth's orders " Patros answered.
" I see, so you have the bombs ? " Taransu asked them.
" Yep, pure 100 % Reisutōnsage ( S霊はスンを下げ Spirit Reducing Stone ), made by our top scientists Tarran " Han explained to Taransu.
" I see, these bombs would do nicely with the demolition of Las Noches ! " Taransu stated.
" 6 portal devices using a specialized crystalline that contains 7,280,000 RYK worth of Reiryoku. This 1 pound Crystal packs the explosive force of 3,460,000 tons of TNT, 182 times the explosive force of the H-bombs humans used in their wars with 1/10,000th the size " Patros explained to the group.
" That Tarran explained it well to you didn't he ? " Taransu asked the former Arrancar from Las Noches.
" I just wish we didn't have to kill everyone inside that fortress " Rippa stated.
" Sorry but it can't be helped ! " Katto replied.
" This would be more than enough to wipe out those filthy Aizen supporters " Sunappa stated.
" Indeed and we can watch them all burn from the powerful flames " Poueru replied back.
" Follow me through this underground passage and put on these cloaks " Taranasru said to the guys as he opens up a suitcase and gives each Arrancar some outfits.
" What are these outfits ? " Patros asked.
" These are special outfits and cloaks that conceal Reiastu and make you appear invisible " Taransu explained to Patros as he puts on a cloak and disappears in front of their eyes.
" Amazing, not even our Pesquisa can detect you " Patros stated.
" Indeed, put these on and follow me into the base ! " Taranasu replied as they all put on the cloaks and head into the base.
" Alright gang, we're going to attack each major support pillar within Las Noches . Han, plant the bomb within the 222th floor Sector 3 , Poueru plant the bomb with Floor 2 sector 43, Sunappa plant the bomb within the 100th Floor sector 25 , Katto plant the bomb within the 990th Floor sector 16, Shina plant the bomb within Sector # 18 Floor 357, Butto plant the bomb within Sector # 5 Floor 235. Han, Rippa and Tanrastu, follow me to find the Hōgyoku " Patros explained to the group.
" Right ! " all of them replied as they all spread out while Patros puts a bomb within the sands.
" What are you doing ? " Taranasu asked.
" Just putting up one bomb as a test and as a warning for those Arrrancars " Patros answered.
" I can't help you on your mission though ! " Tanasru stated.
" Why not ? " Patros asked.
" I've have a mission to do on my own . I must stay undercover in the Arrancar army " Tanrasu replied.
" Looks like i'm one step closer to seeing this place in ruins " Patros thinks to himself as he thinks back to the past.
Yesterday
Patros POV
I was waiting for the Arrancar Tarran to appear at his lab when a scientist walk into the lab. The Arrancar scientist is a slender, pale-faced young man with platinum blonde hair with golden blonde streaks at the temples. He's wearing a long white coat and a red and green sash wrapped around his wrist. His mask remains is a monocle attacked to his neck by a thin chain of bone and his Zanpakutō is a rapier in a sheath tucked under his sash.
" So you must be the defector from Las Noches ? " the young scientists asked me .
" Yes, you must be Tarran ,am i correct ? " i asked.
" Yes, you probably heard about me from my asshole brothers " Tarran replied.
" You're the middle brother of Syzael and Yylfordt, you left Las Noches in pursue of Hollow purity much like i left Las Noches " i explained to the scientist.
" I doubt you're here to talk about Eugenics, you here for something to level Las Noches " Tarran said to me.
" What do you got ? " i asked him.
" I got this ! " Tarran answered as he hands me a box with a crystal in it.
" What kind of crystal is this ? " Patros asked.
" It's called Reisutōnsage ( 霊はスンを下げ Spirit Reducing Stone ) . It's rare crystallized Reiastu that has been formed for millions of years deep underground. It's only found in Western Hucedo Mundo, the crystal is entirely dangerous and has similar effects to radiation on humans. We were able to mine most of this to help form our own Hōgyoku and to power our hidden base, the remaining amount of this crystal for special bombs. I can only make 50 of these things with the material i have but you'll only need 6 of them for Las Noches " Tarran explained to me.
" How long is it going to take to make one of these bombs ? " i asked him.
" First let me take you outside to demonstrate what one of these things can do before making 6 more of them " Tarran answered as he goes with me outside to test the bomb.
20 miles from Moradarth's Palace
I was next to Tarran while both of them are wearing bio-hazard suits. They stare at a 4,000 foot high Mountain where the C-4 shape charge is placed at. We were both 5 miles from the mountain.
" Why are we wearing these suits ? " i asked him.
" The Reisutōnsage is highly concentrated energy similar to that of Sekkiseki, when detonated it releases that power in the form of a deadly gas that when inhaled, defissues the Reishi bonds in the body , causing any poor souls to diffuse and die in the process. The clouds last for 5 minutes and the fallout radius is 15 miles. Allow me to demonstrate the effects " Tarran explained to me as he pushes the detonator
The 4,000 foot high mountain then explodes causing a massive explosion of blue energy which blinds both of us for 15 seconds before they see the blast clear up. The destructive force leaves the mountain in complete and total ruins. Everything within a 2 mile radius was instantly destroyed, the massive 2 mile radius explosion creates a massive 100 foot cloud of sand extending up to 12 miles away engulfing their vision.
" What an immensely powerful explosion ! " i shouted while still wearing my suit.
" See the power of the Reisutōnsage bombs ? That's the immense power of just one bomb " Tarran replied as the blast clears up.
The explosion then clears up to reveal a massive 64,000 foot high, 4 mile diameter mushroom cloud . The blast leaves behind an immense crater 4000 feet diameter 100 foot deep crater and everything within a 12 mile radius is covered with blue smoke containing dust particles which start killing off hollows by diffusing the Resihi in their bodies while Tarran and Patros look at the Hollows rotting away rapidly and dying off.
" This is excellent, just one of these charges alone can blow up a large chunk of Las Noches . 6 of these would be enough to kill even Aizen,even if he survived the blast and the collapse of Las Noches , the level of that much Resihi Radiation would cause him to die . This is prefect ! " i laughed as i looked at the clouds clearing up.
" Master Moradarth plans to use these to take over the Soul Society . It would give him the upper hand, even with the Captain Commander and with the Hōgyoku, we can proceed with the eradication of the inferior races to our own " Tarran stated.
" Excellent ! " i replied.
" I'll return to the lab to make some more, hang around and make friends with the people around here " Tarran said to me.
" Indeed, soon Las Noches would go into Flames ! " i replied as we head back to the palace.
Present Day
3rd Person POV
" Soon , i would have Aizen killed and be one step closer to being King of the Hollows " Patros said to himself.

" What is it newly appointed 3rd seat Banbu Rubi ? " Soifon asked.
" I was wondering if you can train me personally how to use my Shikai ? " Rubi asked.
" Sorry but i have to train alone to increase my power, Vice Captain Chokorēto would be the one to aid you within the training regime of your Zanpakutō mastery " Soifon answered.
" Captain Soifon ? What are we suppose to do with the training ? " a young handsome man with long blue hair and blue eyes.
" 4th seat Bur Jeeks. i thought i've explained to you that you would need to train with Ibiki " Soifon answered.
" Don't worry Captain , i intend to train these guys to get stronger " Ibiki stated.

" 3rd seat Rikū Togakushi, i'm not a Captain ! I lack the skills to actually be Captain level ! " Izuru replied to the young man.
" You're the strongest one here in the squad and you're technically Captain by law as long as this squad has no Captain " said a middle-aged man wearing dark, thick rimmed glasses and a helmet covers the top of his head. There are four small holes at the front of the helmet and two lines run backward from above his eyes. He also has a beard.
" 5th Seat Taketsuna Gori, just became i'm a Substitute Captain, doesn't mean i can take the place of an actual Captain " Izuru stated.
" Don't be so modest with yourself Captain Kira ! " said a young man with shoulder length, black hair, formed into a bang on the right side of his face. Under his Shinigami robes, he sports a white shirt and a collar.
" 6th seat Asuka Katakura, i guess i have no choice to accept the title Captain do i ? " Izuru replied.
" Right on ! " all the members of the squad replied as they charge into battle.

Unohana talks to Isane and Iemura who are leading the group in training.
" Captain , we're not fighters . We can't fight while healing people at the same time " Isane said to Unohana.
" That's why this training is important . I heard stories about what happened in Konoha, they're healers who also specialize in combat. I've mistakenly didn't train this squad to fight in the frontlines however with that powerful of a force, it's absolutely necessary that you must learn to fight in battle , if something were to happen to us, the Gotei 13 would cease to exist " Unohana explained to the squad.
" But Captain Unohana, we still have you. You're very strong " Hanataro stated.
" Let's be realistic, let's say if i was killed in battle, how would your squad would deal without me ? You all need to fight to get stronger " Unohana replied.
" The Captain has a point , we can't stay weak forever , we need to get stronger " Harunobu explained to his squad.
" We must get stronger to protect the people within the Gotei 13 " Isane stated agreeing with Harunobu.
" Very well, i'll be training with Kenpachi to make him stronger " Unohana said to her squad.

Meanwhile within Barragan's Palace, Barragan's Fracción are woken up by the loud trumpet sound.
" Finally , it's a new day to get stronger and pump up " Arivawa asked.
" Can't a beautiful man get some beauty sleep ? " Charolette questioned the other Arrancars.
" The trumpet is a bit loud ! " Findor stated.
" I'm tired, why is it so loud ? " Choe yawned a he ask his question.
" Don't know but it's getting on my nerves " Ggio replied.
Meanwhile at Ninorta's room, Tersa gets up ready for training while Ninorta is annoyed by the trumpet playing.

" Okay ! " all the Arrancars replied as they head out to have breakfast.
Meanwhile at the Vandenreich base
Haschwald and his group equip Kakashi, Sai, Yamato and Yūgao with fake Shinigami outfits and fake Zanpakutō.
" Thanks for these outfits ! " Kakashi said to the Vandenreich leader.
" With these outfits, we can get into the Seireitei without being detected " Yamato stated.
" I wouldn't be too sure about that " Haschwald said to the guys.
" What are you talking about ? " Sai asked.
" That's not enough to get into the Soul Society unnoticed . The Shinigami Research and Development Institute has updated it's security within the last few years to the point they can distinguish impostors from original officers. You guys don't have real Zanpakutō's so you would be instantly detected no sooner you enter the gate " Haschwald explained to the group.
" How do they monitor the Soul Society ? " Yūgao asked.
" The walls of Seireitei are made of Sekkiseki (殺気石, spirit reducing stone), a rare type of stone known to negate all Reiryoku, similar to magnetic lodestones. The stone also forms a spherical barrier around the city, extending above and below, stopping anything spiritual from breaching it from ground level, from the sky or from underground. The walls and the gate itself automatically detects intruders once it enters the spirit gate area. If you try to walk into the gate without an I.D card proving you affiliation of the Gotei 13 or a travel permit ,you're cover is blown on the spot " Haschwald explained to the group.
" So how do we get past this security ? " Kakashi asked the leader.
" There is a blind spot within the defenses of the Seireitei. While it's virtually impossible to get in without detection, the were is one last way to get through. By going through a sewer tunnel within the southwestern end of the Rukongai 2 miles near the southern gate " Haschwald explained to the group.
" But you said that the of Sekkiseki stops anything spiritual from breaching it from ground level, from the sky or from underground " Yamato stated.
" That's why i've made these anti Sekiseki robe for you guys to wear. They're made of Reiastu concealing martieal and made to bypass Sekiseki so you can slip through the barrier undetected and come in to the Seireitei undetected. Once there, you need to head into the 12th division and take the blueprints " Haschwald explained to them.
" How can we do that on our own ? " Kakashi asked.
" Stern Ritter Y Loyd Lloyd and Royd Lloyd would assist you " Haschwald answered as two men come to aid the team.
The two Quinces reveal themselves to the team , both of them are tall , slender men with completely bald heads and have a third eye seemingly tattooed at the center of their forehead. Each of their ears is encased by a circular, headphone-like covering further surrounded by a dark-colored trim.
" They look exactly alike " Yamato said to the leader.
" What's with that third eye ? " Sai asked.
" How would these guys help us ? " Kakashi asked.
" The Loyd brothers can transform themselves into the exact physical likeness of another person. In doing so,they replicate the spiritual power and abilities of that individual. While the Vandenreich lacks the capabilities of stealth like you Shinobi, these two would be helpful to helping you bypass some of the tougher security locks within the Seireitei " Haschwald explained to the Shinobi.
" Allow us to demonstrate Der Dich ( German for The Yourself ) " both brothers chanted as they use their third eye to transform into Kakashi and Yamato.
" Incredible ! He copied me perfectly without any notable flaws " Kakashi said to Loyd.
" So what, it's just a transformation justu, we can do that too " Yūgao skeptically stated.
" It's much more than a mere transformation Sharingan (写輪眼 Mirror Wheel Eye) " Royd chanted as he activate the Sharingan in his left eye while posing as Kakashi.
" Mokuton ( 木遁 Wood Style ) " Loyd chanted as he creates a small tree in front of him using Yamato's powers while under Yamato's identity.
" Impossible, they can even copy Kekaki Genkais " Kakashi stated shocked to see his Sharingan used by someone else.
" They can even use the First Hokage's Wood Release " Yamato replied shocked to see them use that power as they transform back to their normal selves.
" Loyd and Royd have trained with unique powers to copy even the releases of Shinigami Zanpakutō's and copy it down almost 100%, even a Shinigami Captain's Bankai. They can easily get into the Soul Society bypassing the grid however they were caught before they can do anything but this time we can get what we want " Haschwald explained to Kakashi.
" Don't worry, we don't plan to leave empty-handed ! " Yamato stated.
" With us , we should be able to win in the end ! " Kakashi replied.
Meanwhile at District # 3 Īsuto Shūryō
40 miles north of the Seireitei , Kenpachi trains with Unohana on top of a 2,400 foot high mountain. Unohana clashes evenly with Kenpachi as they fight each other.
" You've been improving on the timing of your blows Kenpachi " Unohana said to Kenpachi as she slashes Kenpachi across the chest but he only gets a light cut.
" Thanks, i've managed to learn how to evade better by increasing the strength of my leg muscle " Kenpachi explained to Unohana as he blocks another slash from Unohana.
" I see, you should use Shunpo more often ! " Unohana stated.
" Why should i ? I have no need to run away ! " Kenpachi replied only to see Unohana behind him.
" Who said anything about running away ? Shunpo combined with swordsmanship increases not only the speed and skill of a swords strike as well as a precision of strikes but the cutting power of the blade " Unohana explained to Kenpachi as she cuts a deep wound against Kenpachi's chest.
" Ugh...I see, that blade really felt heavier and sharper than the rest of the slashes " Kenpachi said to Unohana as he holds his chest with blood spilling out heavily from his chest.
" It's a good thing you're not wearing your eyepatch, had i hit you with that without you being at full power, you would've been bisected by my blow. To still be standing from that blow, you're durability and your body is improving with each blow " Unohana explained to Kenpachi as she wipes the blood off her sword.
" I never really thought it that way " Kenpachi said to Unohana as he gets up to attack Unohana using Shunpo but Unohana blocks his attack.
" You're Shunpo is incomplete ! " Unohana replied as she slashes Kenpachi across the shoulder.
" Damn it ! " Kenpachi shouted as he falls to the ground.
" Looks like you need some healing , let's take a break " Unohana said to Kenpachi ass he goes to heal him.
Northern end of Las Noches

" What was it like being in hell ? " Tesra asked the revived Fracción of Grimmjow.
" It wasn't pleasant at all , i don't even want to talk about what happened ? " Yylfordt answered.
" It was a moment that we didn't want to talk about " Di Roy stated.
" It's surreal that you guys went through hell and came back alive " Avirama replied.
" Excata , i need thought anyone can bring back the dead " Findor said to the group.
" That's enough with talking about the revival, while i'm glad to see some people back from the dead, it's not going to prevent us from dying again " Crucci said to the group impatiently waiting for the training to beginning
" Don't be so impatient, let's wait for the others to appear " Skullak replied as he waits for the rest to come.
After a few minutes, the other Arrancars, including Nirgge, Apacci , Rose Sung-Sun.

" Shut up, you were the one pigging out., i kept telling you to get up " Mila replied.
"I was trying to tell both of you brutes to get your lazy asses up , it's quite embarrassing that you two would embrace yourselves like this " Sun Sun stated.
" Shut up Sun Sun ! " both of them shouted.
" Congratulations everyone of passing the first test ! " Skullak said to the team.
" First test ? " Mila asked.
" What do you mean first test ? " Apache questioned the brown-haired Arrancar.
" This was a test of your quick wits and fast timing , in the upcoming war, we can be attacked at any time or be ordered to attack at any time and there won't be enough time to get ready so we're not caught off-guard. As for those who came late, i'll excuse it this time with no penalties " Skullak explained to the Arrancars.
Skullak then takes a few minutes for name calling a few minutes to look over everyone because he see many new faces in the Numeros and Arrancar army .

" I don't remember these guys " Shawlong answered.
" They are the new Privaron Espada #106, both of them were originally born Quinces hundreds of years ago and died in the Quincy war and became hollows. When they evolved to Adjuchas, they underwent natural Arrancarfiation and are now Half Quincy /Half Arrancar hybrids, they were found by Starrk a few days ago and now are on our side " Skullak explained to the group.
" So what are they doing here among us Fracción ? " Gigo asked.

Good so let's get ready for training, let's begin basic training " Skullak explained to the Fracción.
Meanwhile within Las Noches
Aizen and Sasuke are having a talk about talking revenge and turning on Madara Uchiha.
" So when are we going to carry out the plan ? " Sasuke asked Aizen.
" What plan ? " Aizen questioned the Uchiha survivor.
" The plan to kill Itachi Uchiha and Madara Uchiha " Sasuke answered.
" Aren't you being impatient ? " Aizen asked.
" I should have more than enough power right ? " Sasuke questioned the former Captain.
" Not quite, you're only starched the surface of your powers. Even if you had enough power to kill Itachi Uchiha, there's no way you can ever hope to beat Madara Uchiha " Aizen explained to Sasuke
" How strong is Madara Uchiha ? " Sasuke asked.
" Allow me to show you how strong he is " Aizen answered as he shows Sasuke the video tape.
One Month Ago
Aizen and Madara have fought each other for a long while and weakened each other in their long stalemate
" Damn it, you really pissed me off ! " Aizen shouted as he releases a massive wave of purple Reiatsu that engulfs everything within a huge radius.
" Very well them it's about time i go full power too ! " Madara replied as he releases a massive red wave of Charka around him that clashes with Aizen's Reiatsu which creates massive collisions with each other . Madara raises his spiritual pressure and takes out a non-folding fan, usually made of wood.
" Time to end this Bankai: Kyōka Suigetsu Tentaibara Sekaiomo (鏡花水月, 天体バラ世界の主Mirror Flower, Water Moon Lord of the Celestial Rose World) " Aizen chanted as he bathes the battlefield with an intense solar flare . Aizen transforms his blade into a shiny 7 foot long sword that reflects light and is visible and clear like a mirror. Aizen gains Angel-like wings as well as armor on his neck, shoulders, torso and both his arms become fully armored, this armor and wings as well as the sword is made of diamonds that glows brightly . The release of his Bankai creates thousands of mirror fragments which expand to form an nearly invisible barrier.
" Ultimate secret justu...Summoning Gedō Mazō " Madara shouted as he summons a massive statue. The smoke clears up to reveal a giant, humanoid entity. Its back has a number of spike-like protrusions , the statue is seemingly wearing some form of robe, its ankles also appeared to be bound in shackles. The statue shatters the chains on his ankle and towers as high as an Empire State Building.
" Not a bad creature ! " Aizen said to the Uchiha survivor.
" Go Gedō Mazō ! " Madara commanded as the monster comes towards them.
" GUUOOOOOOAAAAANUGGGUUUUU! " Gedō Mazō roared it creates a Chakra shockwave which engulfs the entire forest by Aizen isn't fazed.
" Not bad but let's see how well it does against my Bankai " Aizen said to Madara as he dashes towards Madara and goes to slash the statue.
" ARRUGGHGOOOAUUU ! " Gedō Mazō roared as he fires a lightning blast towards Aizen.
" Yugami Sekai (歪みの世界Distortion World ) " Aizen countered as he uses his Bankai's power to deflect the blast towards Gedō Mazō and knocks down Gedō Mazō and Madara.
" What an incredible counter attack . How did you turn my attack against me ? " Madara asked.
" Yugami Sekai (歪みの世界Distortion World ) allows me to manipulate matter within my space. I can create anything within my minds content , you have no power over me and it's impossible to stop me in this state " Aizen explained to the Uchiha survivor .
" So that's the real power of your trump card ? " Madara questioned the former captain.
" Kyōka Suigetsu Tentaibara Sekaiomo (鏡花水月, 天体バラ世界の主Mirror Flower, Water Moon Lord of the Celestial Rose World). My Bankai has the ability to to connect illusion and reality, i can control my own state of existence and warp the nature of reality and change the rules as i see fit. In essence i can control reality within the mirror dome " Aizen explained to Madara.
" I see, then let's see you counter this !" Madara said to Aizen as he gets back on Gedō Mazō and they both go to attack Aizen with a punch.
" Ha i see that coming , how predictable ! " Aizen said to Madara only to see the punch behind him and hits him in a mile away through a mountain.
" You let your guard down . That Bankai of yours gives you the ability to project and control reality huh ? In order to do so , you need to see your opponent in order to use it or you need to see the attack coming to counter it " Madara explained to Aizen as Aizen gets back up with only minor bruises.
" What did you do to teleport that attack ? " Aizen asked shocked to see his attack countered so easily.
" Kamui ( 神威 Authority of the Gods ) allows the user to transfer anything to another dimension, i can even transport parts of my monster summoning through that dimension and hit you , negating the use of you're little Bankai " Madara explained to Aizen as he stands over Aizen with his summoning.
" Damn , i wasn't expecting my Bankai to be stopped so easily. No more games ,Daiyashiro( ダイヤ 城 Diamond Castle ) " Aizen chanted as he creates hundreds of millions of diamonds around him. These diamonds into a large labyrinth shaped like a castle consisting of millions of diamonds, confusing the enemies that are caught inside of it. Madara sees thousands of mirror like reflections of himself.
" What is this ? " Madara asked.
" Daiyashiro( ダイヤ 城 Diamond Castle ) concentrates the power of my Bankai to a much smaller space which increases the power of my reality warping. The people inside of this technique will be lost because of the fact that the diamonds will reflect their personal image as well as generate mirror images of the routes, paths, and details within the labyrinth, confusing and intimidating them. I could also use it to attack enemies using traps such as spears and glass bow trap, you cannot escape the power of these illusions Madara " Aizen explained to the old man as he goes to attack Madara.
" Where is he ? " Madara asked only to see hundreds of Aizen's like a mirrorhouse .
" I'm everywhere at once but still one being " Aizen answered as they all come at Madara .
" Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation " Madara chanted as he fires a powerful blast of fire which turns into a massive wall of intense flames which burns the clones however has left thousands of mirror shards .
" Don't think that would anywhere near enough ? " Aizen said to Madara with his voice echoing the area.
" You can't hide from me ! " Madara stated as he rushes towards one mirror and slashes it down only for it to reappear and reform.
" Like i said before , you're attacks are futile " Aizen arrogantly stated as he appears and stab his sword into the ground causing swords to come out of the ground and in the ceiling .
" Demonic Statue Chakra Blast " Madara countered as he vaporizes all the swords with a powerful blasts of lightning.
" Not bad Madara however, you need to be more cunning than that " Aizen replied as he then sends thousands of glass fragments flying towards Madara like Senbozakura .
" Kamui ( 神威 Authority of the Gods ) " Madara countered as the attack passed through him.
" Not bad but i already figured out your weakness, Tsukiumi Megami (月海の女神 Goddess Of The Lunar Oceans) " Aizen chanted as his blade release a bright purple light from all directions within the crystalline dome and paralyses Madara again.
" Damn it, i didn't think he can still use that attack ! " Madara said to himself.
" I forgot to mention that i can still use my powers in Shikai in Bankai as well but they're each far more powerful than they are in Shikai " Aizen explained to Madara as he sends crystalline pillars falling down towards Madara which almost crush him.
" Katon: Bakufū Ranbu ( 火遁・爆風乱舞 Fire Style: Bomb Blast Dance " Madara chanted as he uses a massive vortex of fire that spirals progressively outward to shatter the diamond pillars about to crush him.
" Not bad Madara however let's see how you fare against this attack Yugami Sekai (歪みの世界Distortion World ) " Aizen chanted as he uses his mind to think of a volcanic eruption that Madara is engulfed in .
" How foolish, do you forget i already seen through your Bankai, besides as long as i'm intangible you can't hurt me " Madara arrogantly boasted as he makes himself and Gedō Mazō intangible.
" Suitai Sekai (衰退世界Declining World) " Aizen countered as he uses his Bankai to negate Kamui.
" What's going on ? What did you do to my Kaumi ? " Madara asked shocked to see his Kamui not working and him and Gedō Mazō are engulfed within the heat.
" Suitai Sekai (衰退世界Declining World) allows me to negate my foes abilities as i see fit. It uses mirror fragments that are embedded within a foe . The fragment of my sword prevent you from using any of the techniques i wished apon you. The only way to cancel out that power is to remove the fragment within your body " Aizen explained to Madara.
" Why tell me that ? " Madara asked.
" Because you have hundred of these small crystalline fragments within your body with several near your heart, it would be far too risky to remove them. When you vaporized the pillars, you ingested some of the particles within the air holes and eye hole of your mask and now i have you . Unless you can regrow all your organs, you can't hope to remove then. Only those with far higher Reiastu than myself could negate this power " Aizen explained to the Uchiha survivor.
" Damn it ! " Madara shouted.
" Yaburi Kakyō (破り花鏡Shattering Flower Mirror) " Aizen chanted as he shatters the sky into millions of pieces which causes millions of glass fragments towards Madara .
" Crap ! " Madara shouted as the smoke gets in the way filling up the whole dome with Aizen standing there.
" What a fool, in my Bankai, i control everything . I have control of everything , i am everything " Aizen arrogantly taunted only to see the smoke clear up.
The statue remains unscathed and both of it's hands have covered Madara protecting him from injury. Madara then summons a blue , gigantic, spiritual humanoid being that surrounds and protects him that is 25 feet wide with four arms and each wielding swords.
" Susanoo " Madara said to Aizen as he stands within the right palm of Gedō Mazō.
" What is that ? " Aizen asked .
" Susanoo (須佐能乎 Tempestuous God of Valour ) is the third ability granted by the Mangekyō Sharingan, after the ability in both eyes have been awakened. It creates a gigantic, spiritual humanoid being that surrounds and protects the user. Had not for Susanoo, i would've perished from your Yaburi Kakyō (破り花鏡Shattering Flower Mirror) " Madara explained to Aizen .
" Impressive, i though that statue was durable but it seems you're just as tough as the statue " Aizen stated.
" Time for me to stop playing around " Madara stated as the Gedō Mazō statute puts it's hands behind it like it's about to do a Kamehameha wave and forms lightning between the Susanoo which then forms into a shuriken shaped Chakra weapon.
" Consider yourself the luckiest man alive in your pitiful existence, you get to see the true extent of the Shinigmai half of my power. You're the second person who pushed me this far , goodbye " Aizen stated as he encases himself in a prism of crystal. He then releases an intense beam of light which reflects off all the mirror like crystals within the crystal dome world .
" Good game Shinigami however this is where it ends Yasaka Magatama (八坂ノ勾玉 Eight Slopes Curved Jewel ) " Madara chanted as he throws the massive amount of Chakra towards Aizen 50 feet in diameter charged with lightning .
" Hansha Kyōka Suigetsu Hakai (反射鏡花水月,破壊Reflecting Mirror Flower, Water Moon Destruction ) " Aizen chanted as he creates a burning light and focuses it into a beam to counter Madara's attack.
A massive explosion occurs as both attacks hit each other, both Aizen and Madara are worn out, Madara's mask is gone only covering his left eye and his mouth with his robe gone and 80% of his shirt gone. Aizen is also badly exhausted with his clothes torn and cuts on body.
" Damn, this is not getting anywhere ! " Aizen stated exhausted of nearly all his energy.
" Indeed,you have certainly impressed me with your skills, how about we make a deal ? " Madara asked the mulleted ex captain trying to catch his breath.
" I'm interested in hearing this ! " Aizen replied.
" I would aid you in whatever mission you seek as long as you help me gain 7 Tailed Beasts and eliminate the Five Nations " Madara said to Aizen.
" Fine, aid me in destroying the soul society and gather the Vasto Lordes, once we complete it we can split the two worlds 50/50 with each other in it's conquest " Aizen stated to Madara.
" Fine then, all i seek to do is get revenge against the Hidden Leaf village and take over this world " Madara replied.
" Very well then, and all i want to do is to overthrow the Seireitou ( Spirit King ) " Aizen replied explaining his goals to Madara.
Madara and Aizen shake hands with each other within the ruins of the Mountains' Graveyard . The explosion knocked over millions of trees covering 2,150 square kilometers (830 sq miles), enough to wipe out the entire city of Tokyo , the video ends there.
Present Day
" Incredible, so that's how powerful the two of you are ? " Sasuke asked Aizen.
" I didn't use my Hōgyoku within that battle, it was still yet to be awakened, had i used it, the battle would be in my favor or so i thought " Aizen answered.
" What do you mean ? " Sasuke asked Aizen.
" You'll learn when the time comes ! " Aizen answered.
" So who am i training with ? " Sasuke asked.
" One of my finest warriors ! " Aizen answered.
Meanwhile at the outside of Las Noches
Several Arrancars are mocking and picking on Wasupītā during the whole basic exercises .
" Come on loser, you're moving too slow " said one of the random Arrancars.
" Leave me alone ! " Wasupītā stated .
" Make us " another Arrancar replied only to get punched by a female Arrancar. with green eyes, short black hair, and with a good-looking body that would make many female Arrancars fell envy wearing a bit revealing golden and black uniform.
" What are you doing letting them pick on you ? " the young woman asked Wasupītā.
" I didn't want to get involved in a fight while i'm training Wido " Wasupītā answered only to be kissed in the lips by his girlfriend . Everyone watches in shock and surprises, but then start to become jealous.
" What does an attractive woman like Wido Burakku see in a guy like Wasupītā ?" one of the guys asked.
" Wido is such a skilled fighter ! " a random Arrancar woman answered.
" You've haven't changed after all these years " said a young woman with a good-looking body, aqua-green eyes and shoulder length black hair. She wears a brown and yellow uniform and her mask remain is a helmet that looks like the upper part of a hawk's head.
" Earaza ! " Burakku shouted as she hugs her friend.
" How are things with my bet friend ? " Earaza asked.
" Good ! " Burakku answered.
Meanwhile Baraggan's Fraccións are training when is Avirama distracted while keeping an eye on his little sister.
" What is Avirama ? " Gigo asked.
" It's nothing ! " Avirama answered.
Meanwhile Skullak and Cirucci by his side are watching Wasupītā interact with his girlfriend.
" Isn't that sweet ? " Cirucci asked.
" Not that many female Arrancars would stand up for someone they like " Skullak answered.
Meanwhile , Shawlong and the other Fracción from Grimmjow's Fracción are doing push ups when a young Arrancar appears where there at .The young man is a spitting image of Ggio, with exception that he had smooth, shoulder length black hair. His mask remains are his similar to his brothers, except that one of his fangs was gone. He wears a sleeveless Chinese martial arts uniform with a reddish sash.
" Can i join you guys ? " the young man asked.
" Sorry but we're no longer part of Grimjow's Fracción, we're just Numeros Shao Lang " Shawlong answered.
" You need to prove yourself to Grimmjow " Yildroft stated.
" I'll do anything to prove myself to master Grimmjow " Shao Lang replied as he goes to find Grimmjow.
" I like this kid, we should replace Di Roy with him " Yylfordt said to the group.
" What was that ? " Di Roy shouted as he's about to draw out his Zanpakutō only to be stopped by Nakeem grabbing Di Roy's upper arm.
" There's no need to fight during training ! " Nakeem said to Di Roy.
Meanwhile in Las Noches
Karin just finished taking a shower, she put on her clothes now realizing her new powers given to her by Aizen.
" I feel so much stronger than i did before , just how much stronger have i gotten ? I need to learn to uses these new powers " Karin said to herself only to see Sasuke walk in .
" Karin , you're up early ! " Sasuke said to the red-haired Kunoichi.
" I want to also get stronger too Sasuke " Karin stated.
" So i assume you want to train with your powers like Jugo and Suigestu ? " Sasuke asked Karin.
" Of course , i don't want to slow you down like before " Karin answered.
" I see, well i too wish to get stronger so i can get revenge on those who took everything from me " Sasuke stated.
" I hope you're successful in that ! " Karin replied.
Las Noches
8:00 A.M. Skullak stand at the balcony to tell the Arrancars about the next form of training .
" Now that we all warmed up, let's begin the next step of the training " Skullak said to the group.
" What is the next step ? " Apache asked.
" You're all to take part of the Sonído training " Skullak answered.
" Sonído training ? " Wasupītā asked.
" 400 laps across Las Noches's sandlot , that is the goal for the second step of training " Skullak said to the Fracción.
" 400 laps ? Isn't that a bit too much ? " Apache asked.
" What's a matter, scared you can't do it ? " Mila questioned her blue haired partner.
" Please, i run much faster than you,i'm not slowed down by those tumors you call boobs " Apache stated.
" You're just jealous of my boobs , you flat chested bitch ! " Mila replied.
" There would be no fighting each other yet " Skullak said to the Fracción.
" So why 400 laps across Las Noches ? "one of the Arrancars asked.
" This is an very important survival measure. As of now, most Arrancars in their base forms only move at 563.2 ft/sec in base state, to achieve the true speed of Sonído, we need to release our Resurrección to achieve our true speed . We must train so we are at least the speed of sound without Resurrección . Anyone who is going slow they will be 'motivated' by Cirucci and Rudbornn " Skullak explained to the Arrancars as Cirucci is holding her whip and smiling, while Rudbornn has the hand on the hilt of his sword.
" Now, let's begin ! " Criucci commanded .
" Go ! " Skullak said to the Arrancars as he pulls out a ceremonial pistol and fires it in the air to start the training.
Meanwhile at the Shinigami Research and Development Institute
Mayuri heads out with Nemu leaving the Squad behind.
" Where are you going captain ? " Akon asked .
" I'm going to retrieve more material to create more robots " Mayuri answered.
" Make sure this place is well guarded " Nemu stated.
" This place is guarded by the most state of the art technology, the probably of even a fly even getting into the Seireitei " Hiyosu stated.
" Besides, as long as the Sekiseki barrier is around the Seireitei , no one can even think of breaking into this place let alone the lab " Rin replied.
South Runogaki # 78 Inuzuri (戌吊, Howling Dog )
9:00 A.M. 2 miles near the southern gate, Kakashi, Sai, Yūgao and Yamato arrive in disguises. Kakashi disguised as a Shinigami is wearing a very long bread and mustache covering the lower half of his face and has his hair all messy and rugged, Sai has coated his skin with a fake tan to avoid standing out and giving himself a normal complexion , Yūgao has dyed her hair brown and put on glasses and Yamato is not wearing his helmet while Royd and Lloyd are disguised as normal Shinigami, assisting the team are Shita Horsimi and Siga Satorishi .
" So this is where we have to go ? " Kakashi asked.
" The wasteway tunnel is the best way to escape the Seireitei and the best way into the Seireitei, the thing is that the Sekkiseki barrier would still prevent you from entering. We need to put these cloaks on " Siga explained to the group as he opens up a manhole.
" Make sure to not only put on the cloaks but these face masks, goggles and gloves as well as these trousers and boots " Shita said to the group as he covers himself head to toe with the special Reiatsu suppressing martial.
" Is this all necessary ? " Yamato asked.
" You have to he careful about using any form of Reiatsu within the tunnels or even Chakra . No sooner do you use a Justu here, we're spotted and we're dead. Covering your whole body is to ensure that you can pass through the barrier " Loyd Lloyd explained to the group .
" So do you know the way around this place ? " Sai asked them.
" Yes however be very careful, the sewers are filled with traps set up in case of intruders making it through this place and many passageways that lead to dead ends and flood zones and you also have to be careful of hollows within these sewers " Royd Llyod explained to the Shinobi.
" I see, we just have to get through all this and get to our goal " Kakashi stated as he puts on his outfit.
" Indeed, the mission to get the intel needed against the Soul Society is curical for the fate of the world " Yamato replied. as he puts on his Reiatsu cloaking outfit.
" We have to be careful not to be caught, if any Shinigami see you, make contact a limited as possible and whatever you do, avoid the Captains and Vice Captains at all cost " Royd said to the Shinobi.
" Don't worry , we will ! " Sai replied.
Meanwhile 50 miles north of the Seireitei
Hitsugaya is training within a mountain range within the outskirts of Rukongai . Hitsugaya is in his Bankai state trying to get stronger and improve his Tensō Jūrin, he uses the technique to manipulate all the snow and water within the mountain to condense it into his sword .
" It looks like my concentration is improving in Bankai mode but it's still not good enough. I will never get stronger at this rate, i will never defeat Aizen at this rate. I got to hold in that power for much longer " Hitsugaya said to himself as he tries to gather more power only to see Shunsui there.
" Looks like you're trying to get stronger ! " Shunsui said to Hitsugaya.
" I'm trying to convert the energy of the atmosphere into my Bankai but as you see it's not working out the way i plan " Hitsugaya stated as everything within a mile radius and reverts back to normal after trying the use his technique.
" Impressive, to think you have that much Reiatsu at your age, i was nowhere near that powerful at your age " Shunsui replied.
" It's no good ! I can only increase my Hakuda ,Zanpakutō and Kidō techniques for a short while and when i use any of my Bankai attacks ,that power disappears " Hitsugaya explained to Shunsui.
" I see,you're trying to use your special ability to increase your powers while trying to fully mature them ? Interesting " Shunsui said to the young Captain.
" You know that we are outnumbered , we must all get stronger than we already are and to do that i will need to rise beyond the fighting level of a Captain " Hitsugaya explained to the elder Captain.
" You know your powers still haven't fully mature so that's why you came here so you avoid killing everyone in the vicinity of you while you train " Shunsui asked Hitsugaya.
" Yes, my powers are still not matured . I can only maintain this power for only a few seconds before it disappears . Tensō Jūrin gives me a boost of power up to 5 times Captain level strength but shortens the length of my Bankai duration and it's power is far too destructive to be used near allies It was thanks to this power, i survived fighting even the Kazekage and the One Tailed Bjuu " Hitsugaya explained to Shunsui.
" Very well then. Mind if i help with your training ? " Shunsui asked.
" It will be an honor to train of a Captain of your level " Hitsugaya answered.
" Out of all the Captains in the Gotei 13, you have the most potential out of all of them " Shunsui stated.
" I see, then i must learn to use this potential of mines for the benefit of the Soul Society " Hitsugaya replied.
" Katen Kyōkotsu (花天狂骨, Flower Heaven, Crazy Bone) " Shunsui chanted as he releases his Shikai.
" Tensō Jūrin (天相従臨, Subjugation Of The Heavens) " Hitsugaya chanted as the area around them starts to freeze up as Hitsugaya causes a swirling cloud where all the rain starts to focus and shift wind directions forming a hurricane like storm around the area.
" This kid is very powerful for his age , he can really rival Yamamoto's power one day ! " Shunsui said to himself.
Meanwhile at the Kuchiki manor
Byakuya is doing Jinzen training with Senbonzakura within his inner world . Byakuya clashes blades with his Zanpakutō and fight evenly with him.
" You're really in the zone today master Kuchiki ! " Senbonzakura said to Byakuya.
" We all need to get stronger so we can fight the Shinobi and crush them with our increased power " Byakuya stated.
" I see so you plan to go all the way with your training ? " Senbonzakura asked.
" I'm willing to do whatever it takes to protect the Soul Society from any an all threats " Byakuya answered.
' Very well, be very careful though. Training to unlock the next level of your Zanpakutō can very dangerous and draining , while you can get stronger at a much faster time trying to do Sankai training, you also risk losing your life " Senbozakura explained to Byakuya as he gets ready to fight .
' I'm well aware of that, all the more reason i must get stronger ! " Baykuya replied.
Meanwhile at Yoruichi's training ground
Soifon and Yoruichi are training within the secret underground training ground with Yoruichi clashing blows with Soifon while both are in Shunkō state.
" Come on Soifon, you got to do better than that ! " Yoruichi said to Soifon as she kicks her into a wall.
" I don't expect you to go easy on me Lady Yoruichi " Soifon replied as she gets back up to attack Yoruichi.
" That's the spirit Soifon , show me that you can reach the top " Yoruichi said to Soifon as she dodges more of Soion's high-speed punches .
" I'm not quitting until i get enough strength to stand on par with you Lady Yoruichi " Soifon stated as she then blocks a few punches before being kicked into a wall again.
" Having the resolve to get stronger is good and all but you must put more conviction to your blows than that " Yoruichi replied.
Northern end of Las Noches

" That's enough guys, the second training is over ! " Skullak said to the Arrancars.
" About time ! " Apache shouted a she's worn out from running 400 laps across the sandlot.
" I'm all out of energy !" Mila replied as she falls face first to the ground.
" You girls are so out of shape ! " Sun Sun stated.
" Shut up Sun Sun ! " Mila and Apache replied.
" It seems like some of you have done the test right without being stopped. Ggio, Findor,Fran and Kikku, you all did a good job running without being stopped once " Skullak said to those guys.
" Thanks, it was no problem for me ! " Gigo said to Skullak trying to play it off but is notably exhausted.
" You're sweating ! " Findor replied.
" Hopefully Dordoni sensei sees how much stronger i've gotten " Fran said to Skullak .
" I was hard but i was glad to get over the course ! " Kiku replied.
" You did well for a starter ! " Skullak stated.
" Thanks ! " Kiku replied.
" So Cirucci tell me how many laps everyone ran ? " Skullak asked his girlfriend.
" As you already know, Kiku, Fran, Gigo and Findor ran the full 400 laps Aisslinger, Shawlong, Avirama, Earaza , Burakku Sun Sun and Wasupītā did a good job and ran 350 laps. Menoly , Loly, Apache, Mila, Charlotte, Yildoft ,Di Roy , Skeeter ,Drill Bit , Spitter , Shika Dakon and Shadow only ran 200 laps whereas Nakeem , Edrad, Choe Neng Poww , Nirgge , Terragator, Inyector, Inferuno, Retrax and Taransu did the worse barely running 100 laps " Cirucci explained to the brown hair Arrancar.
" Now everyone would be allowed to take an hour break to rest up for the next test " Skullak said to the group .
Aizen then appears to talk to Skullak about things.
" It seems like the training is going well , better than expected " Aizen said to Skullak.
" Lord Aizen, what brings you here ? " SKullak asked.
" I came to ask you to train that young Sasuke kid " Aizen answered.
" You mean that human kid ? " Skullak asked.
" He's now part of us fighting for our cause . He reminds me alot of you and he's very powerful, it's best you train him with his power " Aizen explained to the brown hair Arrancar.
" Lord Aizen, who will oversee the training with the Arrancars ? " Cricuci asked.
" Already have that handled ! " Skullak replied as he creates a clone of himself.
" I'm going to be gone for a while, watch over the place for me " Aizen said to the former Primera Espada.
" What are the other Espada doing ? Skullak asked.
" They're training on their own ! " Aizen answered.
Meanwhile at Las Noches
Starrk and Harribel clash blades with each other within base from as a form of their training.
" Come on Starrk, you need to try harder than that ! " Harribel said to her lover.
" I'm so tired, i can't really fight like this ! " Starrk replied as he lazily blocks Harribel's sword slash.
" I see, then you'll need some motivation to fight seriously " Harribel stated as she knocks his blade away.
" What the ? " Starrk asked shocked to see Harribel knock his blade away so easily.
" I hate it when you're lacking energy , you became such a sloppy fighter. Allow me to motivate you " Harribel said to Starrk as she removes her top and knocks Starrk down with a weak Bala.
" So you're really determined to get me at 100 % ? " Starrk asked his lover.
" Yep, that and we had unfinished business to do ! " Harribel answered as she goes on top of Starrk.
Meanwhile Suigestu is clashing evenly with Ninorta with his massive blade matching Ninorta's sword strikes.
" Not bad ! " Ninorta said to Suigetsu.
" Same here, you're not like that wimpy Arrancar i was put to the test with " Suigestu stated
" Don't you compare an Espada to an low rank Arrancar ! " Ninorta replied as he pushes back Suigetsu.
" Sorry, you're much stronger than the other person ! " Suigetsu stated as he slashes Ninorta with his sword only to do no damage to Ninorta.
" What was that kid, you call that a slash ? This is a slash ! " Ninorta shouted as he slashes Suigetsu ion the chest only to see the blade harmlessly pass through him.
" Looks like neither of us can be cut ! " Suigetsu replied as they continue to clash with each other.
Meanwhile Grimmjow and Jūgo are fighting each other for training . Grimmjow is in his Resurrección form while Jūgo is in his CS1 form.
" Not bad, you're pretty good ! " Grimmjow said to Jūgo.
" It's working, i can finally use the CS1 form without being token over however it's too soon to try CS2. It's taking alot out of me to willingly use the first CS1 form " Jugo said to himself.
" To push me into release form without using your hollow powers, you're very strong for a human " Grimmjow stated .
" Hopefully you can help me control my power ! " Jugo replied.
Meanwhile Karin and Sasuke are training with each other with Karin throwing kunai at Sasuke only for Sasuke to cut it with ease.
" Amazing, your speed has improved so much " Karin said to Sasuke.
" You're still a bit off with your throwing speed and accuracy " Sasuke said to Karin.
" You're incredible Sasuke ! " Karin replied only to see Skullak appear.
" So you're Sasuke Uchiha ? " Skullak asked the Uchiha survivor.
" Who are you ? " Sasuke asked.
" Skullak Tuma, Privaron Espada #101, i'm here to train you " Skullak answered.
" Just # 101 ? The last one i fought was # 4, you must be pretty weak and yet you think you can train me ? " Sasuke arrogantly stated as he stands there.
" I see, you see me as a weaker opponent because of my rank and number ? " Skullak calmly asked as he draws out his sword.
" I wish to fight the 4th Espada and above, not anyone who's not even a real Espada " Sasuke stated only to see Skullak behind him.
" Allow me to show you the error ! " Skullak replied as he goes to stab Sasuke but the Uchiha survivor blocks with his blade.
Sasuke and Skullak clash attacks with each other . Sasuke goes to slash Skullak's shoulder but the former Espada dodges the attack. Sasuke uses Shunshin appear behind Skullak but the former Espada blocks with his bare hand.
" It seems you're not nearly as weak as i though " Sasuke said to Skullak .
" Let's get far away from here as possible, we don't want this place sustaining more damage than it already has gone through " Skullak said to Sasuke.
" Very well then ! " Sasuke replied as he leaves with Sasuke .
" Wait Sasuke , who's going to train me ? " Karin shouted as both of them leave Las Noches .
Seireitei sewers
10:30 P.M. 90 minutes after traveling the dark sewers within their cloaks , the group reaches towards the end of the sewers . They have successfully navigated through the dark sewers filled with traps and trip wires and managed to make it to directly below the Sōkyoku Hill's forestland.
" We're close to reaching the safe zone of the Seireitei " Loyd said to the group.
" We should be under the Sōkyoku Hill forest between the hill and the 5th division" Siga stated.
" 5th division ? Shouldn't we be under the 12th division ? " Yamato asked.
" We can't good any further, pass this point, security gets harder to bypass and the currents within the sewers are too strong, we'll end up caught or dead " Shita explained to the group.
" We've bypassed the Sekkiseki detection barrier, remove your cloaks " Loyd said to the team.
" Right ! " Sai replied as he removes his cloaks and reveals the Shinigami disguise underneath.
" I was getting tired wearing this ! " Yūgao responded as she removes her cloak.
" Those cloaks were very uncomfortable ! " Yamato stated.
" Now you know what we have to go through " Royd replied.
" We managed to get through, let's make sure we can get what we came here for " Kakashi said to the group.
" Alright team, let's get to the 12th division ! " Shita said to the team as they go to the manhole and open it up.
Right outside the manhole, they see the Sōkyoku Hill. Standing 720 feet high with the length of 1,450 feet and 700 feet wide and weighing 59.19 million tons. Kakashi and his group are 1/2 mile east of Sōkyoku Hill but 1,000 meters west of the 5th division .
" So this is the Seireitei ? " Kakashi asked the group.
" It's so lavish looking ! " Sai answered.
" It's a direct contrast from the Rukongai ! " Yūgao stated.
" Indeed, it just shows how corrupt this Gotei 13 really is " Yamato replied.
" How far are we from the 12th division ? " Kakashi asked.
" We're 3.5 miles southeast of the our current location " Loyd answered.
" However we can't go straight ahead , the 2nd division controls everything west of this hill. We will be potted and exposed as frauds if we're caught . We must cut a path through that would get us caught the least " Shita explained to the group.
" So what is the strategy ? " Kakashi asked.
" We need to go past the 5th division, try to avoid contact with as much people as possible and arrive 500 meters east to a small pathway that we can use to hide in plain sight and move forward 2.5 miles northwest to near the 4th division and then take another secure sewer to the lowest level of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute " Siga explained to the group.
" You guys know your stuff " Yūgao stated.
" We were able to escape the Maggots Nest thanks to this intelligence " Shita replied.
" Maggots Nest ? " Yamato asked.
" The prison of the Gotei 13 " Siga answered.
" I see, it's a good thing we have you guys on our side " Kakashi replied as they advance forward with all of them in disguise.
Meanwhile Gin and Tōusen using invisible cloaks to hide themselves monitoring the progress of Kakashi's team.
" Everything is going according to plan " Gin said to Aizen.
" Excellent , continue to monitor them and make sure any measures are used to ensure they get back to thief village successfully " Aizen explained to Gin.
" So basically make sure no one catches them ? " Tōusen asked.
" Those Shinobi are my best pawns against the Soul Society both the Shinobi unaware of our presence and those we are allied with " Aizen replied.
1st Division barracks
Sasakibe is clashing attacks with Renji and Rukia with each of them within their Shikai state.
" You guys are improving ! " Sasakibe said to the two as he blasts back both Rukia and Renji with his Shikai lightning.
" Some no mai, Tsukishiro (初の舞・月白, First Dance, White Moon)" Rukia shouts as she holds her Zanpakutō upside down. The blade glows as she goes for a horizontal slash but it's blocked by the 1st division Vice Captain's Shikai.
" Nice try but you need to be faster than that ! " Sasakibe said to Rukia as he pushes Rukia back with his sword but Rukia goes or her counterattack.
" Hadō #33 Sōkatsui (蒼火墜, Blue Fire, Crash Down) " Rukia chanted as she fires a massive blue fireball at point-blank range towards Sasakibe.
" Usugiri# 5 Hāfumūn kyōda(ハーフムーン強打Half Moon Swipe) " Sasakibe countered as he swings his rapier and cuts the blast in half.
" Incredible, his swordsmanship is so precise " Renji said to himself as he sees Sasakibe come at him.
" You're too slow Renii, you're lacking concentration " Sasakibe said to Renj as he comes at Renji.
" Roar Zabimaru " Renji chanted as he extends his Shikai towards Sasakibe .
" Shōgonken (荘厳剣 Solemn Sword ) " Sasabikie countered as he lunges his rapier through 3 of Renii's 6 segments with ease which pushes back Renji with his Shikai broken.
" Incredible, how did you do that ? " Renji asked as he sees lighting around Sasakibe's Shikai.
" My Shōgonken (荘厳剣 Solemn Sword ) concentrates all my lightning into my blade. Combing the high frequency of this blade's lightning with my rapier skills, i can break weapons and pierce defenses with this powerful attack " Sasakibe explained to Renji .
"Tsugi no mai, Hakuren" Rukia states as she fires a 6 foot diameter beam towards Sasakibe.
" Shōgon Retsu ( 荘厳列 Solemn String ) " Sasabike chanted as he thrusts his rapier releasing a thin laser like lightning blast which cuts the wave of snow and ice in half like a bullet from a high-caliber rifle .
" So fast , the thrust traveled as a thin bullet like lightning bolt " Rukia said to Sasakibe shocked to see the 6 foot diameter hole caused by a small 9mm blast from Sasabike's blast .
" Shōgon Retsu ( 荘厳列 Solemn String ) turns my thrusts into lethal bullet like attacks using lightning to turn my thrusts into a concentrated attack which allows my flying thrust to cut through anything as if it was it's own blade" Sasabike explained to the two as Renji and Rukia stand there in awe.
" I had no idea he was that powerful ! " Renji said to Rukia.
" You're telling me , he really is the strongest Vice Captain ! " Rukia replied.
Northern end of Las Noches
11:00 A.M. Skullak has all the Arrancars assemble within the courtyard with dummies set up that have screens on them made by Syzael .
" Time for the next test! " Skullak said to the Arrancars.
" About time ! " Apache shouted .
" I'm full of energy ! " Mila replied.
" You girls are so out of shape ! " Sun Sun stated.
" The next test is Bala training, all of you will spend an hour firing at this Reiastu absorbing targets which would show the number of Balas within the time of an hour " Skullak said to those guys.
" A full hour of Bala training ? " Apache asked shocked to hear the length of how long the Balas need to be
" No problem for me ! " Gigo said to Skullak.
" This is the test the stamina and durability of your Reaistu as well as the speed and firing rate of your Bala techniques " Skullak explained to the group.
" So we have to do all this training ? " Di Roy asked.
" Yep, it's mandatory for us to all get stronger ! " Skullak replied.
Meanwhile 20 miles north of Las Noches
Skullak is clashing with Sasuke within the mountain range. Skullak is within his Resurrección form while Sasuke is using his Hollow Mask and CS2 form to clash on par with Skullak.
" Not too bad ! " the real Skullak said to Sasuke as he clashes with the Uchiha.
" You're not too bad yourself ! " Sasuke replied as he pushes him back with his blade while Skullak blocked his blow.
" Take this ! " Skullak said to the Uchiha survivor as he fires a Cero towards Sasuke.
" Fire Style : Fireball Justu " Sasuke countered as he shoots a massive 10 foot fireball towards Skullak which hits him and creates a 1 mile radius explosion which shoot s sand into the sky blinding Skullak.
" What intense heat and smoke ! " Skullak said to himself only to see Sasuke behind him.
" Behind you ! Chidori " Sasuke chanted as he's 10 feet behind Skullak .
" Ampliar Lanza de Escudo ( Spanish for Extending Shield Spear ) " Skullak countered as he expands his spikes 10 feet long to impale Sasuke's chest, right leg, lower left abdomen and within the stomach.
" ARRGH ! " Sasuke shouted as he's injured by the attack.
" That would teach you not to drop your guard " Skullak said to Sasuke only to see he hit a log and see Sasuke behind him.
" Odori no Kusanagi ( 草薙 Dance of the Snake Sword ) " Sasuke chanted as he moves at 293,333.3 ft/sec ( 200,000 MPH )and does 196 slashes but Skullak manages to block all the blows.
" Not bad ! " Skullak said to Sasuke on to see Sasuke come at him with another attack.
" Chidori Eisō ( 千鳥鋭槍 One Thousand Birds Sharp Spear ) " Sasuke chanted as he uses his extending Chidori to attack Skullak but the Arrancar gets his distance.
" Picotoma ( Spanish for Spike Shot ) " Skullak chanted as he fires 5 spikes at Sasuke but the Uchiha survivor cuts them all up with his blade.
" Fire Style :Phoneix Flower Justu " Sasuke chanted as he shoots fireballs towards the brown-haired Arrancar.
" Grand Ray Cero " Skullak chanted as he fires a powerful black Cero which cancels out the fireballs and comes towards Sasuke.
" Chidori Nagashi ( 千鳥流しOne Thousand Birds Current ) " Sasuke chanted as he releases Chidori in every direction creating an explosive electrical discharge that levels everything within a 3 mile radius to cancel out the Cero.
" Not bad, you canceled out my Grand Ray Cero ! " Skullak said to Sasuke.
" That was a strong blast, had not for my Chidori Nagashi, i would've been dead " Sasuke explained to Skullak.
" I see, still let's see what you're capable of doing against my true power. Cuatro Hojas del Gladiador ( Spanish for Four Blades of the Gladiator ) " Skullak chanted as he splits his sword into 4 different red blades.
" What are you doing ? " Sasuke asked him.
" This is my special ability of my Gladiador, it's called Cuatro Hojas del Gladiador ( Spanish for Four Blades of the Gladiator ) . My blade can spilt into 4 blades of the same power which quadruples the cutting power of my Resurrección " Skullak explained to Sasuke.
Meanwhile 6 miles south of the battlefield. Ulquorria is watching the battle with Karin at the sidelines.
" Sasuke has gotten alot stronger within the last week . To think he can get to the level of the top Espada so fast, he really has potential " Ulquiorra said to himself.
" Sasuke's Chakra is so much stronger and more fierce than i ever experienced " Karin said to herself.
Shinigami Research and Development Institute
11:30 A.M. Kakashi and his group managed to get past the 5th division and avoided contact with any Shinigami and arrived 500 meters east to a small pathway and moved through 2.5 miles to the lowest level of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute. They're all in Shinigami disguises with the aid of former Shinigami.
" You guys know your stuff ! " Yūgao stated.
" Yep, we barely made it through but we're at the Shinigami Research and Development Institute " Shita replied.
" So this is the lab? " Yamato asked.
" Yep, welcome to the Shinigami Research and Development Institute " Siga answered.
" I see, Shinigami Research and Development Institute is ahead of our time in terms of technology " Kakashi stated.
" Even Orochimaru's labs aren't this advanced " Yamato replied.
" Where's the main computer in this place ? " Yūgao asked the group.
" It's within the center chamber of the lab, located within the second floor basement " Siga answered.
" Second floor basement ? " Sai asked.
" We're currently on the 10th floor basement 100 feet below sea level, we have to get up to the 2nd floor basement and get clearance to the lab " Shita explained to the group.
" The problem is that everything here is under Captain Kurostuchi's control, he's a very dangerous individual who experiments on countless people " Loyd explained to the group.
" Captain Kurostuchi ? Wasn't he the one that Shizune fought and killed ? " Sai asked them.
" Nope, he was able to escape last second because he has modified himself to avoid death by turning his body into liquid. He might not be thew strongest Captain in the Gotei 13 however his poison is very dangerous. Worse yet is this place. Fighting him here is suicide for this is his home tuff. It's going to be tricky but we have to get to his lab uncaught " Royd explained to the group.
" Looks like we got our work cut out for us !" Kakashi said to the group.
" We just have to avoid getting caught ! " Sai replied.
Meanwhile at the 5th floor basement of the lab
Gin and Tōusen are talking with a middle-aged man with green and yellow hair holding their swords towards him.
" Gin, Tōusen. What are you bastards doing here ? " the middle-aged man asked them.
" Looks like we found you at last Kagerōza Inaba or should i call you Ōko Yushima " Gin replied to the middle-aged man.
" How the hell did you guys find out about me ? I kept my identity a secret all these years ? " Ōko questioned the silver-haired former Captain.
" You're the one who invented the Mod-Souls Ninety six years ago for Project Spearhead, which was designed to have Mod-Souls fight against Hollows by placing them in the dead bodies of humans. The project was terminated, due to moral concerns " Gin explained to Ōko.
" I see, but how did you deduct that i was Ōko ? I was supposed to have died 60 years ago according to the records " Ōko stated.
" When everything was to be destroyed, you converted all the information into special Reishi and tossed it into the Dangai, before using some of your own Reishi as a basis to create another Mod-Soul. By unknown means, the Mod-Soul split in two , you must be one of the surviving mod souls " Tōusen explained to Ōko.
" You seem to inhabited much of Yushima's memories, and followed suit in fulfilling Yushima's wish to one day complete his research while hiding among the Shinigami. You put yourself in a catatonic state and had your real body left buried only to return in your current state and dig it out and managed to restore it to it's prime and preserve it within this secret part of the lab you created, . You also forged your identity and became the 7th Seat in the 12th Division. " Gin explained to Ōko.
" So Aizen really had looked into my background ? " Ōko asked him.
" He was the one who covered for you. He knew one day your brilliant mind might be useful to us, he covered up your records . Your Reigai would be very useful to us " Gin answered.
" I see, why should i help you guys out ? " Ōko asked Gin.
" We have something you want ! " Tōusen replied as he shows him a picture of the other mod soul.
" So you have her ? " Ōko asked.
'' If you wish to have that complete form, you will help us out " Gin explained to Ōko.
" I see, what do you want me to do ? " Ōko questioned the former captain.
" We want you to help us weaken Gotei 13 " Gin answered.
" But the Reigal aren't fully completed yet " Ōko stated.
" Don't worry, we got a present for you to use in case things get array " Tōusen stated as he hands him a box with a needle in it.
" I see, so this is what Aizen wants to give me ? " Ōko asked.
" Do your job and all your goals would be complete ! " Gin replied.
Meanwhile within the Seireitei West Gate
Mayuri arrives within the gate with Nemu pulling a cart with tons of scrap metal within the pile.
" That's alot of scrap metal there Captain Kurotsuchi " Jidanbō said to Mayuri.
" Well have a massive deadline to follow through my android project isn't going to be built without metal " Mayuri replied.
" Android army ? " Jidanbō asked.
" I don't expect a simpleton like you to get it but it's a project needed to get the Gotei 13 back into position of power after that embarrassing loss within Konoha " Mayuri explained to Jidanbō.
" I see, so we would be able to fill in the ranks ? " Jidanbō asked.
" Yep, Nemu take the parts to the processing plant down the lab. I'm going to my quarters to attend business as usual " Mayuri commanded.
" Yes master ! " Nemu replied as she carries the heavy equipment to the lab.
Meanwhile 20 miles north of Las Noches
Skullak has finished his fight with Sasuke within the mountain range. Skullak is within his Second Resurrección form standing without a starch while Sasuke is using his Hollow Mask and CS2 form on his knees with wounds on his arms and legs with his wounds slowly regenerating.
" To think the gap in power between us is still this wide ! " Sasuke said to Skullak.
" You managed to match me just fine in my first Resurrección form however no sooner i released my second form, you were easily overpowered. You deserve credit for pushing me this far without using your Resurrección form " Skullak explained to Sasuke.
" How do you use your Resurrección form ?" Sasuke asked.
" The fact you can't hear your sword is proof you haven't bounded fully with your Zanpakutō " Skullak answered.
" What do you mean by that ? " Sasuke questioned the Arrancar.
" A Zanpakutō (斬魄刀; literally, soul-cutter sword) is the main weapon of the Shinigami and the Arrancar. Each Zanpakutō is unique: as the swords are both reflections of one's soul and power, and sentient beings unto themselves. The Zanpakutō's name is also the name of the living spirit that empowers the sword and lends its strength to the one who wields it. These beings can vary greatly in appearance and have their own distinct personalities which match their owner's" Skullak explained to Sasuke.
" I don't get it, how does this work ? " Sasuke asked.
" The problem is that you don't rely enough on your hollow powers. To master a Zanpakutō, us Arrancar must combine our former Hollow powers with the power of the Shinigami in perfect unison to use Resurrección " Skullak explained to Sasuke.
" I see ! " Sasuke stated.
" I heard from Lord Aizen that you wish to avenge your clan , is that true ? " Skullak asked Sasuke.
" That is true ! I wish to kill my brother who caused my clan to go extinct " Sasuke answered.
" It seems that you and i walk the same path ! " Skullak said to the Uchiha survivor.
" How do we share anything in common ? " Sasuke asked him.
" My father died trying to achieve peace between the Soul Society and Huecdo Mundo back when Barragan ran this place and i was a child hundreds of years ago. My father died in the hands of a Shinigami wearing a black hood that was Captain level 110 years ago , i don't know who killed him but i'm determined to hunt down the one who killed my father and get my revenge " Skullak explained to Sasuke.
" Were you in a clan ? " Sasuke asked Skullak.
" Yes, i was within a clan, the Tuma clan ! " Skullak answered.
" How about we explain our backstories " Sasuke stated.
" Fine then ! " Skullak replied.
Meanwhile at Las Noches
Patros and his men wearing invisible cloaks are wandering Las Noches looking for the Hōgyoku.
" It's been hours since we started the search for the Hōgyoku " Patros said to his men .
" We've yet to find it ! " Han replied.
" I see, these bombs would do nicely with the demolition of Las Noches " Taransu stated.
" Aizen must've hidden it inside a vault! " Rippa stated.
" We searched all the 50 sectors of Las Noches and all 990 floors and searched through thousands of rooms and we still found no vault! " Katto replied.
" That means someone must be guarding it themselves " Sunappa stated.
" But who can it be ? " Poueru asked.
" I see, this must be Skullak's doing. Aizen must've personally entrusted him to guard the Hōgyoku " Patros answered.
" Why him ? " Han asked.
" Because he's the most loyal dog within Aizen's army and has been around for the longest . Despite his status and a Privaron Espada, he's well-respected in the ranks of the Espada. Even the top 4 Espada respect him to an extent " Patros explained to the group.
" I see,so he's that powerful ? " Han asked.
" Yep and that's why we must avoid a full on fight with him. However i have this entire place as hostage, the bombs are placed within key sectors within this palace. If all of them explode, this place and everyone here is done for , even the Top 4 Espadas and Aizen. The bombs are coated with material that not even Pesquisa can detect, combined with these robs we have on, we'll have an easy escape out of here long before this place blows up " Patros explained to the group.
" Nothing can stop us now ! " Rippa stated.
" Let's find Skullak and have a nice talk with him first before we claim victory " Patros replied as he leaves the area with his followers.
Shinigami Research and Development Institute, Second floor basement
Kakashi and his group manage to break into the central chamber of the division managing to past through all the security and head into the main computer.
" So we finally found the holy grail of all the intelligence within the Soul Society ? " Lyod said to the group.
" Now comes the hard part, we need to hack into the computer database " Siga said to the group.
" How are we going to get into the computer databanks ? " Yamato asked.
" Already ahead of you ! " Lyod answered as he takes lout a disc and puts it into the computer and it causes the computers password encryption code to get broken.
"What is this ? " Shita asked.
" We have developed a way to break into any computer using a special decryption disc meant to break even the toughest of cybernetic defenses " Royd explained to the group as the password is revealed to be a 10,000 word encryption code.
" That's alot of numbers ! " Sai said to the team.
" This is going to take much longer to get everything than we though " Kakashi stated.
Suddenly Mayuri walks into the room when he sees the group hacking into the computer.
" What the hell ? Who are you guys ? " Mayuri asked them in anger as he draws out his sword.
" This is not good, we got caught already " Yūgao said to the group.
" Intruders, how dare you try to steal my intel ? I'll make you all pay for this " Mayuri shouted only for Siga and Shita to attack first and push Mayuri out of the room..
" We'll hold him off as long as we can, how long is the decryption process going to take ? " Siga asked Loyd.
" 5 minutes, we got 5 minutes before the download is complete " Loyd answered.
" We don't know how long we can hold this guy of but protect our friends " Shita stated.
" We'll do our best ! " Siga replied as they both fight Mayuri.
" So you're famous criminals Shita Horsimi and Siga Satorishi ? You guys attempted to take down Central 46 , 86 years ago and were thrown into the Maggots Nest and you're one of the few people who ever escaped the Maggots Nest alive " Mayuri asked the two of them.
" What about it ! " Siga asked.
" Do you really think former seated officers can take on a Captain ? I don't know how a group of defective Shinigami broke into my lab but one thing is for sure is that neither of you guys are leaving alive " Mayuri explained to the two of them.
" We have an advantage though, you can't use Bankai without risking the destruction of your lab so we can hold you back for a while " Siga stated.
" Even if you do, i already triggered the alarm to this place, all the Captains will assemble here as well as the Vice Captains and they will take you down " Mayuri explained to the group.
" This is bad, there's no way we can fight Captains and Vice Captains with our group size " Sai said to the team.
" We just have to hope that we get the codes through in time before the Captains come " Kakashi stated.
" Let's hope we're not caught at all ! " Yamato replied.

Meanwhile 50 miles north of the Seireitei
Hitsugaya is training within a mountain range within the outskirts of Rukongai with Shunsui while Shunsui is using Shikai when they both get an emergency alarm .
" What's going on ? " Hitsugaya asked.
" It's the alarm, that means there's an emergency going on within the Seireitei " Shunsui answered.
" The hell, what's going on here ? " Hitsugaya asked.
" Someone must've invaded the Soul Society! " Shunsui replied.
Meanwhile at District # 3 Īsuto shūryō
40 miles north of the Seireitei , Kenpachi trains with Unohana on top of a 2,400 foot high mountain. Unohana clashes evenly with Unohana as they fight each other when they get a distress call .
" What's going on ? " Kenpachi asked his senpai.
" It's the alarm, that means there's an emergency going on within the Seireitei" Unohana answered.
" Hopefully there's another Ryoka invasion ! " Kenpachi stated.
" When the screen of the phone is red during thew alarm that means the Soul Society is under attack " Unohana explained to the Squad 11 Captain.
" Great, i can't wait to fight some invaders ! " Kenpachi stated as he dashes to the Seireitei.
Meanwhile at Yoruichi's training ground
Soifon and Yoruichi are training within the secret underground training ground with Yoruichi and Soifon taking a break from training to make out.
" Ready for some lunch honey ? " Yoruichi asked Soifon as she grabs Soifon's hair and pushes her face to her crotch.
" I'm always ready Lady Yoruichi " Soifon answered only to get a call.
" What is Soifon ? " Yoruichi asked.
" It's an emergency call ! " Soifon answered.
" Emergency call ? " Yoruichi stated.
" Damn it, why of all times now ? " Soifon said to herself as she heads to the lab.
Northern end of Las Noches
12:00 Noon, Skullak comes to check up the progress of the other Espadas
" That's enough guys, the third training is over ! " Skullak said to the Arrancars.
" About time ! " Apache shouted a she's worn out from firing Bala.
" I'm all out of energy " Mila replied as she falls face first to the ground.
" This is too much for me ! " Sun Sun responded as she is barely able to stand
" It seems like some of you have done the test right without being stopped. Ggio, Findor,Fran and Kikku, you all did a good job again firing Balas without stopping once " Skullak said to those guys.
" Thanks, it was no problem for me ! " Gigo said to Skullak trying to play it off but is notably exhausted.
" Excata, this was child's play ! " Findor replied.
" Hopefully Dordoni sensei sees how much stronger i've gotten " Fran said to Skullak .
" I was hard but i was glad to get over the course ! " Kiku replied.
" You did well for a starter ! " Skullak stated.
" Thanks ! " Kiku replied.
" So Cirucci tell me how many Balas everyone ran ? " Skullak asked his girlfriend.
" As you already know, Kiku, Fran, Gigo and Findor fired 900 Balas, Assilinger, Shawlong, Avirama, Earaza , Burakku Sun Sun and Wasupītā fired 800 Balas . Menoly , Loly, Apache, Mila,Charolette, Yildoft,Di Roy , Skeeter ,Drill Bit , Stipter, Shika Dakon and Shadow only fired 600 Balas whereas Nakeem , Edrad, Choe Neng Poww , Nirgge , Terragator, Inyector, Inferuno, Retrax and Taransu did the worse barely firing 300 Balas" Cirucci explained to the brown hair Arrancar.
" Now everyone would be allowed to take an hour break to rest up for the next test " Skullak said to the group .
But then an explosion occurs within the walls as Patros reveals himself to Cirucci, Rudbornn and Cirucci.
" Looks like i have returned ! " Patros said to the Arrancar army.
" Patros ! " Cirucci shouted shocked to see him alive.
" What the hell ? How are you alive ? " Rudbornn asked him as he draws his sword with 20 Calaveras surrounding him.
" I still ponder that question. I remember dying however no sooner i woke up,i was alive again and now i've joined another side .I'm with Lord Moradarth " Patros explained to the two.
" That jutsu could it be he was accidentally revived with the other Espadas ? " Skullak said to himself as he thinks back to want happened.
One Week Ago
" Gedō: Rinne Tensei (外道・輪廻天生の術Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique ) " Pein chanted as he generates a green orb which then forms into a gate known as the King of Hell and it opens up.
Pein watches as all of the bodies of Grimmjow's Fracción have been revitalized and restored to full health.
" My Fracción, they're really back " Grimmjow said to Skullak shocked to see then back.
" What the hell ? " Shawlong asked as he looks around to see the sandlot of Las Noches.
" This place looks like Las Noches ! " Yldfort answered.
" This must be a flashback before we all die " Edrad stated.
" But how are we all having the same flashback ? " Di Roy asked.
" I don't know ! " Nakeem answered.
" Wait, i feel alive but how ! " Shawlong said to himself as he thinks to how he died.
Present Day
" So he came back around the same time everyone else was revived ? " Skullak said to himself.
" I don't know how your alive but i'll kill you for good this time " Cirucci shouted as she charges up her Cero.
" Don't even think about it ! " Patros replied as he pulls out a remote .
" What the hell ? " Cirucci shouted.
" This entire place is rigged with enough explosives to bring down the entire palace " Patros said to the group.
" How the hell did you sneak through this place undetected ? " Rudbornn asked.
" These Reiatsu concealing cloaks helped us big time . My men are currently doing their own search for the Hōgyoku right now . Where is the Hōgyoku? " Patros asked the brown-haired clone of Skullak.
" What are these bombs you have ? " Rudbornn asked.
" Pure 100 % Reisutōnsage ( S霊はスンを下げ Spirit Reducing Stone ), made by our top scientists Tarran . We planted 6 portal devices using a specialized crystalline that contains 7,280,000 RYK worth of Reiryoku. This 1 pound Crystal packs the explosive force of 3,460,000 tons of TNT, 182 times the explosive force of the H-bombs humans used in their wars with 1/10,000th the size " Patros explained to the group.
" Crap this is bad ! " Skullak said to the group.
" What is Reisutōnsage ? " Cirucci asked.
" The Reisutōnsage is highly concentrated energy similar to that of Sekkiseki, when detonated it releases that power in the form of a deadly gas that when inhaled, defissues the Reishi bonds in the body , causing any poor souls to diffuse and die in the process. The clouds last for 5 minutes and the fallout radius is 15 miles. Allow me to demonstrate the effects " Rudbornn explained to Cirucci.
" Look at this screen to allow me to show you what one bomb can do to this place " Patros stated as he activates a digital screen.
" What the hell ? ' Fran asked.
" How did he hack into security so easily ? " Tersa questioned the other Farrcion.
" How did you.. ? " Skullak asked.
" We have a little more within your ranks aiding us within this raid " Patros answered.
" What ? All of Las Noches security ! " Rudbornn stated only to see all the doors close.
" Now belong to me , now let's watch what these things can do " Patros asked as he pushes the button.
Meanwhile 20 miles north of Las Noches
Sasuke and Skullak see a mountain explode 6 miles near them with the real Skullak seeing the blast.
" Shit, the blast was next towards us ! " Skullak shouted..
" What the hell ? What's going on ? " Sasuke shouted.
" This is bad! Take cover ! " Skullak shouted as the blast engulfs them with light.
The explosion then clears up to reveal a massive 64,000 foot high, 4 mile diameter mushroom cloud . The blast leaves behind an immense crater 4000 feet diameter 100 foot deep crater and everything within a 12 mile radius is covered with blue smoke containing dust particles which start killing off hollows by diffusing the Resihi in their bodies .
Meanwhile 6 miles south of Sasuke's location
Karin and Ulquiorra sees the cloud of blue Reishi particles coming towards them.
" This is bad ! " Karin shouted as the particles heads towards both of them.
" If that Reishi particle wave touches use, were as good as dead " Ulquiorra said to himself.
" SASUKE ! " Karin shouted as she sees the smoke heading closer to her.
" Negación " Ulquiorra chanted as he protects himself and Karin from the wave as it passes by them and kills off all the Hollows around them.
" That was a close one !" Karin said to Ulquiorra.
" Negación ( Spanish for "Negation ) covers the user and comrade in a towering beam of light which completely isolates them from the dimension they are currently in, making it impossible to harm them from the outside of the impenetrable pillar " Ulquiorra explained to Karin.
" What about Sasuke ? " Karin asked.
Back at Las Noches
The Skullak clone disappears with Cirucci becoming worried about what just happened.
" That bomb exploded where Skullak usually trains at, could it be that .. " Cirucci said to herself.
" It looks like it worked as expected, Skullak is now dead and out of my way and that is just the warm up . No one can escape this place alive nor will they unless i get the Hōgyoku " Patros arrogantly laughed.
" YOU BASTARD ! " Cirucci shouted as she tires to attack him but Patros presses the button.
" Shit he pressed the button ! " Di Roy shouted as he's panicking about the bomb.
' Were going to die ! " Avirama shouted.
" Relax, this bomb will go off in an hour. Do you guys think i'm stupid enough to blow myself up. You got only an hour before the bombs go off , hand me the Hōgyoku or else '' Patros stated to them as he uses Sonído to dash off.
" Shit, this is bad. Everyone search for the bombs ! " Cirucci shouted only to see most of them tired out.
" We're too worn out from the training ! " most of them complained .
" Get up, we must save Las Noches " Cirucci shouted as most of them get up to go search for the bomb.
" This is not good, Skullak is ... " Rudbornn stated only to be cut off by Cirucci.
" He's still alive, i can feel it ! " Cirucci replied.
Meanwhile 20 miles north of Las Noches
Skullak sees himself within the belly of the slowly decomposing Manda.
" What is this horrible stench ? " Skullak asked as he notices he's within the belly of the snake.
" It looks like the summoning contract still works even with the animal dead " Sasuke said to Skullak.
" What ? " Skullak asked shocked to see the size of the snake they're inside of.
" I got the idea from Orochimaru after seeing what Manda can do " Sasuke answered.
One Week ago
" I must admit, you're strong but not strong enough , Cero Oscuras " Ulquiorra chanted as he fires a powerful Cero that creates a massive explosion. Orochimaru and Manda are pushed back 10 miles away.
" Damn it ! " Manda shouted.
" This can't be ! I can't die yet ! " Orochimaru shouted in despair as he's engulfed in the black and green light.
The explosion levels everything within 6 mile radius with a massive explosion leveling 6,144,000 trees. The massive explosion could be seen from the hideout . Ulquiorra flies up into the air as the smoke clears up to see Manda on the ground at near death .
" Damn...You ... Orochimaru ! " Manda shouted with his last words as all life leaves his eyes and he dies from the bleeding and third degree burns he suffered.
" Looks like that's the end of you Orochimaru " Ulquiorra said to Orochimaru as he flies over him only to see Orochimaru bust out of Manda's dead body with white snakes forming around him.
" Unforgivable, you killed my favorite pet ! " Orochimaru shouted as his legs disappear and he reverted to his white snake form.
" How did you escape that blast ? " Ulquiorra asked.
" I shedded my original body last second to go inside Manda's nose shortly before the blast hit me. Manda's body is pretty sturdy and could withstand even the largest explosions from an enemy justu. Looks like Manda has reached it's limit but i haven't " Orochimaru explained to Ulquiorra as he starts to transform.
Present Day
" I think we should get out of this festering creature !" Sasuke said to Skullak.
" Not yet ! " Skullak replied.
" Why not ? " Sasuke asked.
" The Reisutōnsage is highly concentrated energy similar to that of Sekkiseki, when detonated it releases that power in the form of a deadly gas that when inhaled, defissues the Reishi bonds in the body , causing any poor souls to diffuse and die in the process. The clouds last for 5 minutes and the fallout radius is 15 miles " Skullak explained to Sasuke.
" So were stuck here for 5 minutes ? " Sasuke asked.
" Let's hope the stench doesn't kill us first ! " Skullak answered.
Shinigami Research and Development Institute, Second floor basement
Kakashi and his group are caught in the crossfire between Mayuri and the two former seated officers .
" How much longer do we got until the code is cracked ? " Kakashi asked Lloyd .
" 1 more minute ! " Loyd answered.
" That's too long ! " Sai said to the team.
" Let's hope that those two Shinigami hold out long enough " Kakashi stated.
" ARRGH ! " Siga and Shita shouted as they drop to the ground dead from the Shikai stabs to the throat.
" Was that all you got ? You two were barely worth fighting " Mayuri asked the dead Shinigami in a mocking tone.
" This is not good, he took them out so easily " Yūgao said to the group.
" He's a Captain , it's no surprise he's this powerful ! " Kakashi replied.
" Who's next to die ? I normally don't get my hands dirty but given you're trying to steal my data,i'm in a pretty foul mood " Mayuri shouted .
Suddenly an explosion occurs within the lower levels of the basement which causes the room to shake .
" What was that ? Yamato asked .
" What now ? " Mayuri said to himself.
" Now Royd ! " Loyd said to his twin brother.
" Right ! " Royd replied as he throws a smoke bomb at Mayuri which blinds him however Mayuri sees through the smoke.
" It's useless to hit me with smoke for i adjusted my eyesight with thermal vision to see you even under smoke " Mayuri explained to the Quinces only to see a Ginto drop on the ground .
" Close your eyes !" Lloyd shouted as all of them close their eyes as the light blinds Mayuri.
" ARRGH! Damn it, i can't see ! " Mayuri shouted.
" We got the data disc downloaded " Royd shouted.
" Let's get out of here ! " Lloyd replied.
" No problem ! " Royd replied as he blasts a hole in the wall .
" Come on guys, let's go ! " Kakashi shouted as Mayuri recovers his eyesight.
" You aren't getting away with this ! " Mayuri shouted as he presses a button which activates Mayuri's defenses while Mayuri goes after the group only to be stabbed from behind.
" Looks like i got you good my twin! " said a clone of Mayuri who has appeared behind Mayuri using Mayuri's Shikai.
" What the hell ? What's going on here ? " Mayuri asked shocked to see a copy of himself stabbing him through the back with his Shikai.
" Looks like my Reigals have worked like a charm " Kagerōza said to Mayuri as he walks around now sporting a long yellow robe which buttons up in the front and protrudes upwards from the neck, covering the entirety of the back of his head. He does not wear glasses, wears gloves, and carries a cane.
" You, you created this ? " Mayuri asked.
" The time or waiting is over, it's now time for the Gotei 13 to get replaced " Kagerōza answered.
Meanwhile 14 miles north of Las Noches
Skullak and Sasuke arrive where Ulquiorra and Karin appear after 5 minutes where the massive deadly gas that defissues the Reishi bonds in the body disappear.
" Looks like you two made it out alive ! " Ulquiorra said to Skullak.
" All thanks to Sasuke ! " Skullak replied.
" Sasuke ! " Karin shouted as she hugs him while he's out of Chakra.
" I'm too drained to move right now! " Sasuke said to Karin.
" What happened ? " Ulquiorra asked Skullak.
" It's Patros, he's holding Las Noches hostage " Skullak answered.
" Hostage ? " Ulquiorra asked.
" That bomb he detonated was made of pure 100 % Reisutōnsage " Skullak answered.
" Reisutōnsage ? This is bad ! Worse yet they have cloaked the bombs that not even normal senses can detect " Skullak explained to Ulquiorra.
" How are we going to find them now ? " Ulquiorra questioned the former Espada.
" Leave it to me, i think i can help you guys ! " Karin replied.
" How so ? " Skullak asked.
" Karin has Kagura Shingan ! " Sasuke answered.
" Kagura Shingan ? " Ulquiorra asked the red-haired kunoichi.
" Kagura Shingan ( 神楽心眼 Mind's Eye of the Divine Entertainment ). This ability allows me to find, sense, and track individuals through their chakra over vast range that exceeds ten kilometers, This is done by focusing and opening the mind's eye . The ability extends to telling when a person is lying from the fluctuations in a person's Chakra made from dishonest emotions or detecting if someone, including myself, is under a Genjutsu. Also by focusing on a particular Chakra, i can perceive its location and movement with great detail " Karin explained to the Arrancar.
" Over 10km ? So you can sense that far ? " Skullak asked.
" Yep , she can help save Las Noches and find the bombs " Sasuke answered.
" Then let's waste no time and head to the fortress ! " Ulquiorra stated as he picks up Sasuke and they head to Las Noches to save it from Skullak.
At the entrance of the Shinigami Research and Development Institute
All the Vice Captain and all of the Captains arrive at the scene to prepare to fight the intruders.
" Looks like things are getting out of hand here " Rukia said to Renji.
" What is going on within the lab ? " Renji asked.
" That's what we're hear to find out ! " Soifon answered.
Suddenly emerging from the lab entrance are all the current Captains and Vice Captains followed by Kagerōza.
" What the hell ? " Kenpachi asked as he looks at his Reigal clone.
" What's going on ? Why are their clones of us ? " Shunsui asked.
" They look just like us ! " Nanao stated.
" They're not just look alikes, they're your replacements ! " Kagerōza replied.
