A short while after the final battle with Oromaus, a lot has changed for Kalia and her friends. Ryo has been made lieutenant of his squad and Kalia has been reunited for her long lost father. Kalia was on her way to school with her friends Sai and Michael were on their way to school and Kalia had a smile on her face.

"You sure seem to be in a good mood." Sai said.

"That's not unusual." Michael said.

"You're right. Ever since your Dad came back, you haven't stopped smiling." Sai said.

"Can you blame me?" Kalia said. "Not only did we defeat the greatest enemy we ever fought, but my Dad is back in my life. I can't even tell you how happy my Mom was."

"Whoa! I don't think I'm old enough to hear something like that." Sai said as he covered his ears. That instantly took the smile off her face.

"Don't make it sound dirty." Kalia said. All of them made it to their school. Ever since Kalia won her battle and became a substitute soul reaper with her father. All of them were about to step in when they felt a strong spiritual pressure over them. "Do you guys feel that?"

"Yeah." Michael said.

"This spiritual pressure is strong. It's just like when we fought Oromaus and his crew, but it also feel like Drasaki's." Sai said.

"Where's it coming from?" Kalia said as she looked around. She looked up and saw someone standing at the top of the roof. She didn't know who it was, but it was Nnoritora. "Who is that?"

"That's got to be her." Nnoritora said. He stuck out his tongue and powered up his Cero.

"Look out!" Kalia shouted and Nnoritora fired it. It caused a great impact in the ground and no one knew what was happening. Nnoritora didn't stop there. He swung his weapon down and it smashed through the school. The impact traveled down and sent debris flying all around. Michael brought out his spear that held wind power to deflect all of them.

"Sai, are you alright?" Michael asked.

"Yeah." Sai said. He looked around and didn't see a sign of Kalia around. "Where did Kalia go?"

"Up there." Michael said. They looked up and saw Kalia in her soul reaper form flying up to the roof. She pulled out her zanpakuto, Nagareboshi, and swung it down on Nnoritora, but he held the staff of his weapon and was able to block her attack. Nnoritora pushed back and sent Kalia back, but she landed on the roof and was ready for a fight.

"Who are you?" Kalia said.

"So you are a soul reaper. You remind me of someone else I once knew." Nnoritora said. Kalia got a good look and saw the hole that ran through his head with the strange mask piece. Kalia saw something like that before.

"Wait a minute. A broken mask and a hole. Are you an arrancar?" Kalia asked.

"That's right. I'm among one of the strongest. My name is Nnoritora Gilgar. Who are you, woman?"

"I'm Kalia Kurosaki. I'm the substitute soul reaper of Karakura Town." Kalia said. "I don't know why you're here, but if you want a fight, you got one." She charged right at him to attack. She swung her sword down, but Nnoritora was able to block it easily.

"Is that all you've got?" Nnoritora asked. "I guess I shouldn't expect much from a woman."

"What did you say?" Kalia said as she highly offended by that. "You want to try and repeat that."

"How about I show you." Nnoritora said and shoved her weapon off. He swung his weapon. Kalia tried to block it, but there was so much force behind that attack and pushed her away.

"This guy wasn't kidding. He's strong." Kalia said.

"Kalia!" She looked towards the entrance of the roof and saw Sai and Michael bust through the door.

"Are you doing alright?" Sai said.

"Does it look like I'm doing alright?" Kalia said.

"Don't worry. Your knights in shining armor are here." Sai said as he was building up spiritual power in his fists to make them stronger. He went right for the attack and brought his right hand back. He brought out all his strength and slammed it against Nnoritora's gut. However, Nnoritora wasn't pushed back at all.

"Is that the best you can do?" Nnoritora said and no one thought that would happen. In fact, Sai got the worst as his own attack as he felt pain travel up his arm. Nnoritora was about to strike his weapon on Sai, but Michael acted first as he launched the blade of his spear that was connected to a chain. Nnoritora saw it and deflected the blade, but that gave Sai the chance to move away from him.

"Sai, are you okay?" Kalia said.

"Yeah, but damn that hurts. It was like punching an iron wall." Sai said.

"My hiero is the strongest you'll see." Nnoritora said. "You won't even be able to cut me or anything."

"I'm sick of hearing him talking." Kalia said.

"You want to make something of it?" Nnoritora said.

"Sing, Utatori!" They heard another voice coming. Nnoritora looked above him and saw their friend, Ryo Kuchiki. He unleashed the power of his zanpakuto, but Nnoritora was able to block him as well. As a caution, he moved back from him.

"Ryo!" Kalia said as she was glad to see him.

"Are you guys doing okay? I picked up his spiritual pressure and got here as fast as I could." Ryo said.

"This is becoming annoying. I wish I could kill you all, but I've got something I have to do." Nnoritora said and looked over to Kalia. "Look at that, I forgot your name. You will be seeing me again." Nnoritora took off and jumped from rooftop to rooftop and Kalia and her friends were wondering what it was he was after. After school, the sun was setting and they were all heading back home and discussing what happened.

"Thanks for showing up when you did Ryo." Kalia said.

"That's what friends are for." Ryo said.

"So do you have any idea who that guy was and what he wanted?" Sai said.

"Can't say that I did, but we'll find him." Ryo said.

"Well, after what happened with Oromaus and everything else, we'll take him down." Kalia said. Ryo noticed that Kalia was actually smiling more often and he knew why.

"So Kalia, how have things been since your father has returned?" Ryo said.

"Better than I could ever imagine." Kalia said.

"I have to admit, it's nice seeing you smile more often." Ryo said. Kalia gave him a friendly smile and Ryo blushed a bit.

"When do you think they're going to admit they're crazy about each other?" Sai whispered to Michael.

"Don't know." Michael said. Kalia's phone went off and saw that it was her mother, Orihime.

"Hi Mom." Kalia answered. "Yeah, something did happen at the school. I'm okay. I'll be home in like five minutes and I'll tell you about it." Orihime felt Nnoritora's spiritual pressure and was making sure Kalia was safe. However, Kalia heard some sort of explosion coming from the other line and the line went dead. "Mom? Mom, are you alright? Something happened."

"You and Ryo better go on ahead and see if she's alright. We'll try to catch up." Sai said. There was no time to argue. Kalia left her body with them and she and Ryo went to investigate.

…..

The Kurosakis

Kalia and Ryo arrived at Kalia's home and saw the part of the wall was demolished and Orihime with their family dog, Gado, were injured.

"Mom! Gado!" Kalia said as she dropped down to them. They checked their pulses and breathing and both of them were still alive.

"Kalia, up there!" Ryo pointed upwards and saw Ichigo was fighting off against Zommari while Aaroniero and Szayelaporro were watching and Szayelaporro had Kenji and Katie under his arms.

"Dad!" Kalia called out as she and Ryo flew up to them and Ichigo noticed they arrived.

"Kalia, you made it just in time." Ichigo said.

"So that must be his other child." Szayelaporro said.

"She's strong. I can feel it." Zommari said.

"Dad, who are these guys?" Kalia said.

"I don't know." Ichigo said since he never fought them before or even seen them. "All I know is that they're trying to take your brother and sister and we can't let that happen."

"We won't." Kalia said. She didn't waste any time as she went for the one with pink hair, but he saw her coming and used the technique called Sonido to avoid her. Ryo went to help her, but Aaroniero got in the way.

"Going somewhere?" Aaroniero said.

"Are you an arrancar? I've never seen anything like you before." Ryo said.

"Don't ask us about our faces. We're tired of hearing what people think about them." Aaroniero said. He pulled out a sword from his sleeve and the two of them started fighting.

"I don't know who you guys are, but you better get your hands off my brother and sister." Kalia said.

"And what will you do if I don't?" Szayelaporro said. Kalia was done playing games with these weirdos. She held out her zanpakuto and her power was increasing.

"Bankai!" Kalia unleashed her bankai as spirit energy exploded around her. Her entire outfit changed and so did her sword into one made of light. "Tengoku Nagareboshi." She was about to strike, but she saw another weapon tossed at her. She avoided it and saw it was Nnoritora. "Not you again." Kalia said. Nnoritora had a chain that connected his weapon to him and he used it to lash his weapon at her. Ichigo looked down and saw him.

"Wait, I know him." Ichigo said. Kalia and Ryo backed away from their opponents and heard what he said as the other arrancar went near Nnoritora.

"Seriously Dad, you know him?" Ichigo said.

"Yeah. Nnoritora. Wait a second, does that mean all of you are Espada?" Ichigo said.

"That's right. I was once Espada Number Eight, Szayelaporro Granz."

"Espada Number Seven, Zommari Rureaux."

"And I was Espada Number Nine, Aaroniero Arrururie."

"I've heard about you guys from Rukia and the others, but you're all suppose to be dead." Ichigo said.

"Dead?" Kalia said.

"We were, but now we're back for the purpose of taking you down. We'll be taking these kids." Nnoritora said. They were about to try and stop them, but a cloaked figure appeared behind the arrancar. He swung his sword and when they tried to avoid him, he grazed Szayelaporro's arm and he was forced to drop Kenji.

"Kenji!" Kalia said as she used her incredible speed and saved him.

"Who is that?" Nnoritora said.

"I don't know, but we better get out of here." Szayelaporro said as he opened a black opening and all four of them jumped through and they still had Katie before Ichigo could stop them.

"Katie!" Kalia shouted.
