I do not own Bleach or any of the characters. So, I admit, my character is a bit...over powered, to put it mildly. That was actually going to be addressed this chapter as part of the storyline anyway. Aside from that, all of my main character OCs have the same personality, mine. I really just don't have anyone else to base them off of. Sorry if anyone disapproves of that.

Escape

Kurai sprinted out of the compound, looking toward the Sokyoku Hill where he could sense Gin for a moment. Unohana's Lieutenant was contacting all of the Captains, Lieutenants, and other seated officers to tell them what had happened. Kanisawa, Hinamori, Hitsugaya, and Rangiku were just behind him and after about three minutes, they neared Sokyoku Hill as they sensed Aizen use Hado #90, Kurohitsugi. Kurai tossed his zanpakuto as they ran, switching to Shikai and having Haruko wrap around his wrist and form the massive sword as it had when Kurai had tried to break through Tosen's bankai.

"We have to hurry!" Kurai shouted, sprinting up the side of Sokyoku Hill, easily pulling away from the others.

As he reached the top of the hill, he saw Aizen walking toward a heavily wounded Byakuya and a weakened Rukia. Kurai didn't even slow down as he sprinted past Gin and Tosen, leaping and driving his sword at Aizen. Aizen spun, drawing his own Zanpakuto and driving it back. Their swords met at their tips and Aizen's split Kurai's down the blade easily. Then, Aizen stepped into an attack and slashing Kurai down the torso. Kurai flipped, landing on his feet as blood splattered along the ground between them. He looked down at Haruko as the sword unravelled, dropping as it fell to the ground, burrowing into it and spreading the field of grass and flowers again. However, there was something wrong. The flowers had all wilted and the grass had dead patches in it every so often. Aizen looked at the field then smiled and put his zanpakuto away. Kurai looked up at him and suddenly had trouble breathing due to the Spiritual Pressure.

"Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness," Aizen spoke as ten pink balls of energy formed around him.

Kurai sensed the other Spiritual Pressures speeding toward them and hoped that they get there before Aizen finished the chant.

"Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired. Hado Ninety One, Senju Koten Taiho!"

The energy blasts shot at Kurai who raised his arms and squeezed his eyes closed. The blasts all hit and then exploded into a massive pink ball of flame with a spike extending from both sides and a smaller one on the top and bottom, making it look something like a sideways cross. When it faded, Aizen blinked in surprise, seeing a partially destroyed dome of grass between him and Kurai. The shield Haruko had raised slowly began to turn brown and wither, the grass all dying and withering away. The shield collapsed, the dead grass spreading to surround it rapidly.

"Haruko," Kurai mumbled, lying on the dead grass with bad burns covering a good portion of his body where the blast had broken through the shield.

Aizen laughed, reaching for his zanpakuto just as two shinigami arrived, one being Yoruichi, former captain of Squad 2 and former head of the Punishment Force, and the other was Soi-Fon. Yoruichi put a hand to the buttcap of Aizen's zanpakuto, keeping him from drawing it, and Soi-Fon put her own Zanpakuto to Aizen's throat.

"Now this is a face I haven't seen in a while," Aizen commented.

"Don't do it," Yoruichi warned. "If you even move so much as a muscle..."

"...Then we're going to cut off your head," Soi-Fon finished.

"Yes I can see that," Aizen stated calmly.

"Well, that sure was flashy," Gin mused still with that his usual smile plastered to his face. "What should I do?"

He raised his left hand but just as he did, Rangiku finally arrived and caught his arm, placing her Zanpakuto to his throat as Hitsugaya held how own to Gin's face. Kanisawa landed beside Kurai, kneeling down to check his wounds.

"You shouldn't even move," Rangiku warned.

"Sorry Captain Aizen," Gin called. "I got caught."

Aizen looked over at him as Yoruichi said, "This is the end."

"What?" Aizen asked looking back at her. "Did you say something?"

"Don't you understand Aizen?" Yoruichi questioned. "There is no place left for you. No place you can escape to."

As she spoke, most of the other captains, their lieutenants, and a few other officers arrived, Hisagi holding his zanpakuto to Tosen's throat.

"Sosuke," Squad 13 captain, Ukitake, growled.

"Captain Aizen, how could you?" Tetsuzaemon Iba growled.

"It's over, Aizen," Yoruichi stated.

Nemu landed beside Kanisawa, also kneeling and looking to the other woman worriedly.

"Is he okay?" Nemu questioned.

"Yes," Kanisawa nodded. "It looks like something took the bulk of the blast, shielding him. My guess would be Haruko."

She indicated the zanpakuto laying half buried in a pile of dead grass.

"And what's so funny?" Yoruichi snarled as Aizen smirked.

"I'm sorry to do this, but the time has come," Aizen stated as Yoruichi's eyes widened.

"Soi-Fon, get away from him!" Yoruichi ordered as both leapt away and a column of light hit the ground where he was standing, enveloping Aizen and coming from seemingly nowhere.

"That's not...it's impossible!" Ukitake gaped just before a massive rift opened in the sky, a pair of massive white hands gripping the edges and pushing it wide open, revealing a massive white mask with a long pointed nose.

First one was visible, then two, then a dozen, all of their arms reaching through in an attempt to get through all at once.

"It's Menos Grande," Soi-Fon muttered.

Finally they all got through, leaning out of the rift in every direction.

"The Gillians?" a lieutenant gaped. "How many of them are coming through?"

"No wait," Hisagi breathed as a glowing arc with the ends reaching upward appeared behind them. "It looks like there's something else in there."

Two more columns of light shot out of the sky beside the rift, seeming to be breaking through from the dimension the Gillians were coming from, and enveloped both Tosen and Gin, Hisagi and Rangiku leaping out of the way at the last second.

"Well that's a bit of a let down," Gin sighed. "I was enjoying that. I wouldn't have minded being your captive a little longer. So long Rangiku. Maybe next time."

Then, the ground below all three broke free and began to rise.

"You're just going to run away?" Tetsuzaemon Iba questioned. "That's-"

"AIZEN!" Kurai thundered, leaping to his feet and sprinting forward, leaving Haruko behind as he leapt at Aizen who simply smirked.

"Stop!" Head-Captain Yamamoto shouted.

"You're very persistent," Aizen noted as Kurai reached the light.

However, when Kurai's fingers touched the light, they were instantly reduced to dust. He stopped himself, leaping backward off of the air, blood following from his missing limb, having entered the light up to the middle of the upper arm before Kurai could leap back. As he fell, his exhaustion caught up to him, robbing him of his ability to move.

"I commend your bravery and determination," Aizen laughed pulling something from an inside pocket in his robes and drawing his zanpakuto. "A gift, to reward your efforts."

He slashed a gap in the light and tossed the object through it before the light filled the gap back in and Aizen put his zanpakuto away. Kurai crashed down, bouncing once before landing on his stomach as the object landed in front of his face. A ring. He knew that ring.
