Sorry, I had to change the recent chapters of the manga, for obvious reasons. I also apologize for the character issue thing. I'm not really good at getting into character so, you can almost just say I took the names of the Espada's and a totally different character. Sorry!

ALSO: I took some part of the manga Bleach. Though I don't own it, I needed it.

Chapter 6

"Here they come," Ichigo said.

Matsumoto gasped in horror as she saw the Arrancar approaching. They had been expecting this many, but to see it with their own eyes was different. They would not loose though, nor would they die.

From the far back of their group, Rika was trembling, her hand placed above her sword was shaking violently. She was muttering to herself, "no… no…. not again,"

Rukia being the first to notice said to Rika, "Here, let's go inside that building. You can stay there till you calm down a little."

Rika nodded, glad for the chance to get away, but instead of leaving alone, she grabbed on to Rukia's hand, refusing to let go.

Rukia looked to Byakuya. He nodded, eager at the excuse of getting his sister away from the battlefield.

Ichigo, Hitsugaya, and some of the others had noticed by now as well. Ichigo had been a little surprised at Rukia's attitude towards the girl, and same to the girl's attitude to her. Rukia had seemed… different with her.

"Kurosaki, focus!" Hitsugaya shouted over to him. Ichigo turned his head, facing back again towards the Arrancar as the two girls jumped away.

Now, everything was prepared. The captains and vice captains were all here, ready to fight.

As Aizen, Gin, Tosen, and the Arrancar came closer, the sinigamis saw of their great number. They were outnumbering them by…. In a matter of seconds, Yamamoto and Aizen were almost face to face.

(Spoilers from here)

"Hmmm… I wonder which Espada's the strongest…" Ukitake commented.

"It's hard to tell, I guess we'd have to ask Aizen,"

"There's a slight problem. How do we know that Aizen won't interfere when were taking on the Espada?" Hitsugaya asked.

Matsumoto nodded in agreement.

"Everyone stand back!" Yamamoto yelled out. The Captains flicked their head in surprise. Was he…

"Destroy all creations! Ryujin Jakka!"

"Duck!" Ukitake shouted at Shunsui. A blast of fire escaped the sword, engulfing Aizen, Gin, and Tosen inside the fire.

"They won't be able to get out for a while," Yamamoto replied calmly.

"The commander's rather… violent," Ukitake said.

"That's how much of a bad mood ol' Yama's in," Shunsui replied.

Meanwhile, inside the fire, Gin said, "Hot, hot! He went all out, didn't he? What should we do, we can't help them in here,"

"We do nothing. We'll win without lifting a finger," Aizen replied.

"Hmm.. Looky here. The boss seems to be trapped. Until he gets out, I'll be leading you! Now you know where the pillars are. Destroy them!"

"Fools,"

The hallows that had made their way to the pillars were already dead. Appearing from nowhere was Ikkaku, Yumichika, Shuhei, and Izuru.

As the four fought on with the new batch of Arrancar, the Captains and Vice Captains were having small conversations, of what might be their last.

"…Then don't die," Soi Fon said.

"…Don't let you guard down, Matsumoto!" Hitsugaya ordered.

"I won't!"

Get them! We must risk our lives to defeat them here! Do not let them pass, even if your flesh is torn form your bones. We must not let them step foot in Soul Society!"

"Now, don't disappoint me! Win this battle!" Barragan shouted.

Clang! Metal hitting metal. The war had begun.

(Spoiler ends here… I copied up to this part)

The sound of metal hitting metal was deafening. It was power verses power, agility verses agility. No one was able the get a swipe at the other.

Ichigo wanted his fight against Aizen, but he knew he would have to wait. Instead, he had turned himself to the Espada directly in front of him, and once their eyes had met, they were upon each other.

"Espada number 6, Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, at your service!"

"Ichigo Kurosaki,"

Ichigo's sword was moving easily at his will, he had been saving up his energy for the past week, and he was almost leaking it now. Left, right. Backhand, forehand. Thrust. Ichigo was easily fighting, but then, so was Espada 6.

Espada 6 smiled, "If you can't even get a single strike at me, how do you plan on stopping Aizen-sama?"

His sord came down on Ichigo's left shoulder, but just in time, Ichig lifted up his sword to parry. Ichigo pushed his sword against him, making the first cut on Grimmjow's chest.

Grimmjow laugher, "Congratulaitons! You've gotten a scratch against me!"

Ichigo scowled, but he told himself not to get too agitated. He needed to save his strenght for the main enemy. He forced himslef to not release his Bankai till later – perhaps the third fight, four if he was lucky.

He felt a sharp sting on his left leg. Grimmjow had hit him while he was distracted by his thoughts. Ichigo shook his head, getting back into the game - no war.

"You don't seem too confident, attakcing when I'm distracted!"

Grimmjow snarled, "I could beat you with my right hand tied behind my back!"

"I'd love to see you try! This si useless! I should be fighting Aizen…"

Ichigo made another strike at his head, missed, but scratched his neack.

Grimmjow laughed, yet again, "If you defeat me, it'll be a huge help to your puny friends, looking at how outnumbered you are! Three on one just doesn't seem very fair does it? Well, I guess it doesn't matter any how. After all, even if it was you who outnumbered us, we'd still-."

Grimmjow paursed as blood splurted out from his back.

"You talk too much."

Espada 6's eyes narrowed, his lips becoming one, thin line, "You've asked for it, brat!"

Smoke faded away from him as he tranformed into something far more deadly than before.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Pleas review, and for those who have, I'm very thankful – you have no idea how happy I am! :D
