SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 3 out, this is Chapter 4 of this fic. For everyone who put this fic on your favorited and followed lists and/or story alerts, thank you, but remember everyone, a lot of authors (myself included) sustain on readers' reviews.

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny. Heck, even the pairings aren't mine.

Chapter 4: The Nightmare Returns... Revival of the Espada

Ōmaeda screamed as he was blown back by the shockwave of Suì-Fēng's Bankai release. "Damn..." he cursed, the pressure wave was pressing against his cheek.

Suì-Fēng, on the other hand, was also blown off by her own attack, the Ginjōhan was holding her secure for a few seconds, before getting caught over a railing and the steel belt ripped into half.

"Captain..." Ōmaeda winced, seeing his petite Captain getting blown off. "Captain." he managed to catch Suì-Fēng before she crashed into a building. "Can you see that?" the two ranking officers looked over at the billowing smoke cloud. "You did it."

Right in the midst of the Stark-Kyoraku-Ukitake fight...

A Garganta opened right in the middle of the battlefield, revealing Wonderweiss and Hooleer.

"It can't be!" Hitsugaya gasped in shock.

"At a time like this?" even Suì-Fēng was stunned.

"That guy..." Guardian Frost's eyes widened in recognition. "Wonderweiss Margela..."

A wondering look from Wonderweiss and he vanished from the Garganta to stab Ukitake from the back with a hand.

Kyoraku reacted instantly, blades raised to attack Wonderweiss when Stark pressed his pistol on the 8th Squad Captain's back and fired his Cero blast.

"Shunsui, Jūshirō!" Yamamoto called out to his falling students.

"Bakudō #37: Tsuriboshi." Guardian Frost cast the cushioning spell, catching the two older Captains.

With a high-pitched scream, Wonderweiss shattered Hitsugaya's ice tower, freeing Halibel. Another scream blew off the smoke covering Baraggan, revealing that the Second Espada was completely unharmed. A mumbled command to Hooleer had the large Hollow blow out the flame circle entrapping the three former Captains.

"A foul stench, as always." Ichimaru sighed. "This must be what people call 'the stench of death'."

"It's perfect." Aizen stepped out of the extinguished flames. "The stench is death is fitting for what's happening before us."

"Hold it." Hirako voiced. "It's been awhile, Aizen."

Omake: Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book

Somewhere in England...

Ichigo, Sado, Ishida, Renji, Inoue and Rukia were gathered at a cross-section.

Ichigo: This is supposed to be the place.

Rukia: (Looks around) No one's here.

Ichigo: Ukitake said to meet up here for our trip home.

Ishida: (Points to the backs of a group dressed as Ukitake, Kyoraku, Kiyone, Sentarou and Ise) Maybe that's them. Excuse me. (Hurries over) Sorry... (Blinks when the faces turn to reveal someone else)

Ichigo: (Looks at Ishida) What are you doing?

Ishida: (Protests) You didn't know what to do so I tried to help.

Rukia: (Looks at her watch) Oh no, our plane's about to depart.

Said plane flies overhead.

Everyone else: (Horrified scream)

Kon: (Pulls out a signboard that reads 'New Ending song starting next week')

SailorStar9: In the next chapter, Hirako explains to Yamamoto that while the Vizards are not the allies of the Shinigami, but the enemies of Aizen, they are also under Tula's direct command. Wonderweiss commands Hooleer to release a lot of Menos, but the Vizards quickly defeat them. Hirako, later confronting Aizen, is stopped by Tōsen, who is then intervened by Komamura. Halibel breaks out of the ice and attacks Hitsugaya, but Hiyori backs him up and Lisa comes to assist her. Mashiro easily defeats Hooleer, while Love and Otoribashi confront Stark. Komamura and Tōsen are quickly interrupted by Hisagi, who wants to join Komamura in defeating Tōsen.

Now that's done, read and review.
