SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 2 out, this is Chapter 3 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.

Pairings: Ishida/Hasu, minor pairing Hitsugaya/Karin

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

Chapter 3: Hueco Mundo Moves Again! Hitsugaya vs. Yammy

Sometime later...

"Shit!" in a clearing away from civilization, Yumichika was furiously wracking Fuji Kujaku against a rock. "You son of a bitch! Damn! Break, damn you! You're pissing me off!"

"Shut up!" Matsumoto tossed a shoe at his head. "Can't you be silent for two seconds?"

"But Fuji Kujaku is driving me nuts!" Yumichika fumed. "He's arrogant, snobbish, and thinks he's the most beautiful thing in the world. He's the worst! I don't think I'll get him to materialize. He won't do it, no matter how I ask."

"What's the problem?" Matsumoto scoffed. "He sounds just like you. Haineko, on the other hand, is selfish, moody, lazy and stupid. I guess the same-type repels, right?"

"She's sounds just like you." Yumichika mocked back. "You're the type who'll say 'That's not me, I don't look like that.' when they look into the mirror."

"What did you say, Yumichika?" Matsumoto retorted.

Any further arguments between the pair were cut off when the group of Shinigami sensed the ever-rising Reiatsu emitting from their usually peace-loving Commander-in-Chief.

" Lieutenant Matsumoto, 5th Seat Ayasegawa, is there a problem?" Hasu opened an eye, her mediation interrupted by the pair's arguing. "Or have the both of you forgotten what you've promised me when you came to me for a place to use Jinzen?"

"My apologies." Matsumoto and Yumichika muttered in unison and settled for glaring at each other.

"Seriously." Hitsugaya sighed. "You can't converse with your sword if you don't settle down."

The clouds are moving so fast. Ikkaku sneaked a peak at the sky.

"Did you say something, Madarame?" Hitsugaya looked at the 3rd Seat.

"No, nothing." Ikkaku assured.

"They're here." Hasu suddenly declared as a Garganta opened in the sky, revealing Luppi, Grimmjow, Yammy and Wonderweiss.

"Arrancar?" Yumichika breathed. "No way... already? And four of them."

"They've definitely come early." Hitsugaya agreed. "But we don't have time to figure out why."

"We ended up in a good spot." Yummy grinned. "There's a bunch of guys with pretty decent Reiatsu out here. I guess they'll do for starters."

"What're you talking about?" Luppi chided. "Those are Shinigami. The 'reinforcements' from Soul Society. Right?" he turned to the recently deposed 6th Espada.

"The guy I want to kill isn't with them." Grimmjow noted and used Sonido to split off from the group.

"The one I wanna kill isn't with them, either." Yammy snorted.

"Would that be the one who cut off your arm?" Luppi mocked. "The one who beat you to a pulp? Or the one who blocked your Cero?"

"All of them." Yammy grinned widely and leapt out of the portal to engage the Shinigami group.

"10th Squad Captain, Hitsugaya Tōshirō." Hitsugaya charged to fight Yammy.

"That's interesting." Yammy grinned. "I'm a 10, too. Arrancar No. 10, Yammy."

"10?" Hitsugaya echoed. "Then, you're an Espada?"

"Are you an Espada, too?" Yumichika asked, as he and Ikkaku faced off against Luppi.

"Yep." Luppi beamed. "I'm Luppi, No. 6."

"I'm not sure if it's okay to kill this guy." Matsumoto wondered, as she and Guardian Frost stood a distance from Wonderweiss.

"Well, those guys must've brought him along for a reason." Guardian Frost pointed out. "Nii-san." her eyes widened when she picked up Ichigo's Reiatsu in the distance. "They finally get him out, huh?"

In the Urahara Shop basement...

"I said forget it." Renji pulled Sado back from joining the fight. "You've used up too much power. I'll go, you stay here and rest."

"He's right." Urahara concurred. "It's as Abarai says. But the same applies to you, Abarai. Both of you can stay here and rest. Instead," he pulled out Benihime. "I''ll go. Kurosaki-chan, I'll need you as medical support."

"Understood." Karin, in her Suzaku armor, jumped down from the rock she was sitting on.

Omake: Kon-sama's Ultimate Shinigami Illustrated Guide

In the Seireitei News Magazine Editing Department...

Hisagi: (Panicking) Busy, busy, busy! Has Rangiku's report come in yet?

Random Shinigami: Not yet.

Hisagi: (Twitches) What?

Nanao: I've brought the 8th Squad report.

Hisagi: Thanks. At least, I can always count on you guys to meet your deadlines.

Nanao: Of course.

Rin: We've detected Arrancar in the Real World. They're Espada.

Hisagi: (Excited) What? That's breaking news. I've gotta get out there and start a special investigative report.

Nanao: (Sweatdrops with Rin) Uh... not exactly.

SailorStar9: In the next chapter, Ichigo dons his hollow mask, and overwhelms Grimmjow with his enhanced power. However, Ichigo is unable to defeat Grimmjow in his eleven-second limit, and Grimmjow takes the advantage. Meanwhile, Hitsugaya battles Yammy, and Luppi demands that Yammy retreat so he can fight all the Shinigami present. Luppi releases his Zanpakutō, sprouting eight tentacles from his back, and after knocking Hitsugaya into the ground, captures all of the Shinigami. Before he can dispatch Matsumoto, Urahara arrives, cutting one of his tentacles, and begins to fight Yammy. Meanwhile, Wonderweiss finds himself locked in battle against Guardian Frost who has the ability to call forth the waters from all five Rivers of the Underworld. Now that's done, read and review.
