Dimitri's pov

I had been trying to track the Kurosaki girl ever since I arrived in this alternate dimension. Aizen's new orders were for me to travel to the world that Vladimir sent Karin to and dispose of her if possible, if not I was to retreat to the portal that was still active in Hueco Mundo. By eliminating Karin Soul Society would become antagonistic when she did not help them in the winter war. She's become a danger to Aizen-sama, I cannot afford to let such a Shinigami live. However, I seem to have lost sight of her spiritual pressure a long time ago. I've searched for others, but all I've found are the alternates of the Shinigami that I fought back in my world. As far as Arrancar go, other than my obvious uniform as one, I'm not all that easy to point out. My mask fragments are just a loose chain around my neck, which is hidden underneath my shirt as is my hollow hole. My Zanpakuto is a long thin Masamune type blade which I keep sheathed behind my back.

I wander around past this old fashioned store to a path that lead to an abandoned alley way on the outskirts of town. Suddenly I could feel the Kurosaki girl's presence, it was faint, but she was close

Fandom!Karin's pov

I was sitting around eating with Shinji and the others when we all felt this powerful spiritual pressure from above. We all went above ground and got into our hiding positions. In walked a guy, no older than Ichigo, but there was something odd about him. He had pale skin, almost like that Arrancar that attacked me that one time, but it was more human flesh colored, just a little discolored. He had pale blonde hair and red eyes. He was wearing only white, which only made him look even more sickly and pale, but he still looked so well built up. What was with him?

(A/N: Remember Karin was not present at the fight Hitsugaya described in the last chapter she just happened to walk into the blast.)

"I can sense you all, you're not hiding anything from me," his voice was arrogant and sounded slightly malevolent.

"Friend of yours?" Love whispered. I shook my head.

"I guess if you won't come out," he said closing his eyes and cracked a deviant smile, "I'm gonna have to make ya!" He let out a surge of reiatsu. It was enough cause us all to drop our guard. Our reiatsu leaked everywhere and we became possible targets. "Got ya!" he shouted and attacked Mashiro on the other side of the room who dodged. We all then got into a frenzy trying to kill him, but his movements were too erratic, he was too fast for us to keep up. Although I recognized his movements

Flasback

"That's impossible, who or what are you?"

"You want to know who I am, but I don't have a name!"

He was fighting just like my inner hollow. Suddenly he got behind me and attacked, but I shunpoed out of the way and dodge rolled to safety.

"We have to slow him down," Kensei said, as we saw blurs of whatever was attacking us running about and take cheap retreatable swings.

"He's got a long reach with that blade, what is he?" Shinji wanted to know.

"I don't know, but I'm gonna rip him." Hiyori shouted and summoned her mask.

"You idiot," We all saw Hiyori get cut across the shoulder and then flipped over.

"Man that guy's fast!" Kensei grumbled.

"What do we do Shinji?" Mashiro asked.

"Like Kensei said we need to slow him down," Shinji answered.

"Slow me down that's a laugh, I'm the fastest Arrancar ever created." He said still zooming around.

"Are you, an Espada?" I asked.

"Espada, that's a laugh," he stopped moving momentarily and appeared in front of us sword pointed at us, "As if I'd want to be classified with those low-end Arrancar. I am Dimirtri Elaggod a member of the Exaltaron." (Spanish for They who are Exalted) "We Exaltaron are different from the Espada. We were created by Aizen himself almost from scratch," He moved so quickly and knocked Lisa out via pressure point, "That's why," he moved and nicked Love, "you," he moved again and sliced Rose "can't," he kicked Hachi, and stood floating near the ceiling, "beat me."

"This is bad," Shinji said in a concerned tone.

"How did you find us?" Kensei asked.

"Why don't you ask your little friend there," he pointed to me with his blade, "After all I've been tracking her, because I was sent here to kill her." Dimitri dove down towards me at blinding speed. I didn't have enough time to dodge, but Kensei took the hit for me, as his arm was sliced open.

"Damn that guy's strong and fast."

"I told you didn't I," he said swinging his sword with his back to us, "I'm on level with the Espada if not better than them. There's no way you can beat me."

"Doubtful," I said, "BANKAI! Tensa Zangetsu." I then summoned my mask.

"Such twisted spiritual pressure, you really are dangerous. No wonder Aizen doesn't want to let you live."

With both arms on my blade I charged at Dimitri. The two of us clashed sword swing for swords swing as the battle began taking place outside the warehouse. I had to be careful, my mask would only last 7 seconds with the training I had been doing and Dimitri hadn't even used his release form yet, and I was only just standing on par with him now. This sucked.

"What's the matter Shinigami, is this all you have?" Dimitri taunted, "You'll have to do better than that to beat me." He got a good distance from me. "Cero!" The large white flash came at me.

"Getsuga Tensho!" My black Getsuga Tensho collided with his Cero, but my attack was overpowered and I took the blast head on. I took a pretty serious injury too. Damn

Shinji's pov

"Man he is one tough bastard," Kensei strained as Karin hit the ground defeated.

"Kensei, you get Karin outta there, Mashiro!"

"Yes!"

"Time for our little Razzle Dazzle combo you ready."

"Sweet, we haven't done that one in a while." The two of us Shunpoed into Dimitri's reiatsu influence.

"Sorry, but I don't have time to deal with you two," Dimitri scoffed, "My orders were to take down Karin Kurosaki, I don't have time to deal with you punks."

"Oh, but you see we have time to deal with you and if you wanna kill Karin, you gotta get rid of all of us."

"Sounds like a fair deal, but you'll never be able to beat me. There isn't a Zanpakuto wielder alive that can match my speed," he boasted.

"Speed is all well and good, but it does nothing for you, if you're using it in the wrong direction. Collapse. Sakanade." I released my Shikai. I saw the fear in Dimitri's eyes.

"Heh, you can see it can't you, everything's backwards ain't it. Up down left and right, your vision has been inverted." I smiled deviantly.

"Quite an intricate trap, but it's nothing I can't handle."

"Oh really," I smiled and then shouted, "Mashiro!" she donned her mask and fired a Cero. Dimitri made to block it, but he released all too late that the direction that an attack comes from as well as the direction that he's looking is also inverted. He took Mashiro's cero right in the back.

"I should've been more careful than that, damn, but I guess I have no choice." He turned towards us, "Your inverted world is quite something. However, if the scent from your sword is the catalyst then removing the scent from my nose is the only logical conclusion."

"I don't see how you're gonna do that now," I smirked.

"Have you forgotten?" he asked. "I have yet to use Resurreccion."

Fucking hell,

"Curse! Halcon de muerte!" (Falcon of Death) Dimitri's reiatsu charged up, flared up and then settled. When he emerged there were two sharp looking wings on his back. He had long, black, bird like talons for legs. His arms were still human, still gripping his sword, however, they were coated with long sharp looking arm guards resembling feathers. On his shoulders were two box like structures and his head was a black skull with an aura of blue fire surrounding it. The skull had only eyes, no nose, and no mouth. Sakanade was near useless Shit. In seconds he was behind me and cut, I barely had enough time to block.

"Damn it!" I shouted.

"What's the matter? Your inverted world no longer working properly?" I asked. He was really overpowering me. This was bad.

"Getsuga Tensho!" I whirled around, Karin appeared to be pushing herself, "You don't mind me jumping in do ya?" she asked. She had actually managed to inflict serious injury with her attack, Dimitri got up off the ground though and his wound healed.

"Damn, this reeks!" I groaned.

"Shinji, I've got a plan!" Mashiro cried out.

"Let me guess, everything at once!" Karin shouted.

Ultimate firepower? LAAAAAME! Still I don't have any better ideas. I summoned my mask and fired a Cero. Karin fired Getsuga Tensho and Mashiro added her Cero on top of that.

"Fools! Cero!" I watched as Dimitri's Cero fired in the opposite direction away from us. The hell? Of course, Sakanade is already in his system. He may have been unaffected by its effects for a few moments, but because the scent couldn't get out of him, it's in his lungs now, perpetually affecting him. Dimitri never saw our attacks coming when we absolutely annihilated him, completely. When he burst his Zanpakuto fell from the sky and struck the ground. Karin walked over to it.

"I'm gonna take this back to Urahara's." she said picking it up. "If that guy followed me here from the other side then guaranteed this can help me get back home."

"Will you come back?" Mashiro asked.

"You guys won't miss me, I know that much, I'll see your other selves again soon. Besides Ichigo should be returning eventually, if this works"

"Ah, fine," I shrugged, "Don't worry about our injuries one bit, Hachi should be able to patch us up no problem."

"Why not tell her to get…" I quickly covered Mashiro's blabbering mouth.

"Yeah Hachi, should be just fine." I fake smiled.

She seemed to have bought it, "Okay thanks for everything you guys." Karin ran off. I released my hold on Mashiro's mouth.

"Idiot, we can't ask her to get Orihime to heal us. Orihime probably doesn't know about the situation, not to mention the fact that Karin's scared of her."

"That's a funny joke Shinji," Mashiro laughed.

Idiot, "Whatever Hachi can patch us up regardless, we don't need Orihime for scratches this minor. Although I could always go find her myself if we really need her." I said.

"I guess so," Mashiro shrugged and walked away.

Exaltaron, I thought looking at the sky, that's a mighty nasty assassin squad you've got their Aizen.

(A/N: Yeah the Exaltaron everything were something I just came up with on the spot, but it makes for a nice story twist. And before anyone asks, Yes I do classify Wonderweiss into this group he was the inspiration of the Exaltaron. Let me know what you guys think. Mashiro/Shinji co-op Awesome! And Sakanade proves a lot more useful than people give it credit for. The next chapter returns us back to the Karin-verse. What will happen? Although, given the last two chapters, I'm sure you can guess one event that will transpire. Whatever, DH18 out, R&R).
