Tokushi awoke in the care of the Fourth Squad. He slowly sat up to see Sairen standing next to the wall.

"Hey." Sairen said.

"What happened?"

"You fought somebody and it would appear that you lost or if they lost they put a hurt on you."

Then Tokushi remembered what happened.

"I fought Aizen. Aizen is alive."

"What?"

"You heard me. Aizen is alive and is staying in the Central forty six chambers. I fought him last night and damn near died. He told me that he used his Zanpakuto to create the illusion that he died but he's alive and well."

"I thought his Zanpakuto was water based."

"In a sense it is but it uses hypnotism and we're all under its hypnosis."

Sairen's eyes widened. He darted out the door. Tokushi raised his arm towards Sairen to stop him but it was too late; Sairen was already gone.

"Damn, he's going to get himself killed."

Hitsugaya and Matsumoto stood in the Tenth Squad administrative office when a Hell Butterfly came in through the window. It landed on Matsumoto's finger. She stared at it for a moment. To a normal person it looked like she was just staring at it but the butterfly was really giving her a message.

"What did it report?" Hitsugaya asked.

"Ukiha Sairen is on his way to the Central 46 chambers. Something about Aizen being alive."

Hitsugaya's eyes widened.

"Come on, we're headed there too." Hitsugaya said as he and his lieutenant ran out the door.

Sairen ran down the corridors of the Seireitei heading towards Central 46.

"I'm going to get that damn Aizen. I've got to warn the Captain. With his help we can beat Aizen."

He was so deep into his plan that he failed to see a foot sticking out from an intersection corridor. Sairen tripped over it and fell on his face.

"WHAT THE HELL?"

He turned around and saw that the person who tripped him was Tosen Kaname.

"Captain Tosen, why did you trip me?"

"You are doing an unjust thing."

Sairen always hated his talk of justice.

"What are you talking about? I'm going to stop the supposedly dead Aizen."

"I can't let you do that. I will stop you with my justice." Tosen said as he drew his Zanpakuto.

"Oh stop with your justice. You don't know justice because you can't see. All you're going by is blind justice." Sairen sighed.

Sairen drew his Zanpakuto off his back. He didn't want to waste any energy fighting Tosen if he were to fight Aizen too.

"You are a mere third seat, you have not achieved Bankai and you cannot beat a captain."

"That's what you think." He said as he ran his hand down his blade. "Transform, Kiroimaru." (yellow)

He lunged the blade at Tosen who dodged it. Tosen noticed that Sairen's foot was headed his way. Tosen turned and grabbed Sairen's foot. Sairen used his other foot to kick Tosen but it was grabbed as well. Sairen used Tosen's strength as leverage by leaning up and punching Tosen repeatedly in the face. Tosen let go of Sairen's feet but Sairen grabbed Tosen by his head using his feet and launched the ninth captain into a wall.

"Didn't see that one coming did you?" Sairen joked.

Sairen noticed that Tosen had bandages underneath his uniform. Tosen thrust his Zanpakuto at Sairen but Sairen dodged it, grabbed hold of the hilt and kicked Tosen in the chest where Kenpachi had sliced through him earlier that day. As they were fighting, Sairen saw what looked like an explosion on Soukyoku Hill. Then he felt a powerful reiatsu and froze in his tracks. Tosen, unfazed by the strong reiatsu sliced through the unprepared Sairen. Sairen clinched his abdomen. Blood poured from his wound. He launched his blade toward Tosen who sidestepped it.

"You are not going to win." Tosen said.

"And you'll never be just." Sairen said.

Tosen was infuriated by the comment. He ran over and stabbed Sairen in the chest.

"I'm going to make you even more crippled than you already are." Sairen said.

Tosen twisted the blade as he slowly pulled it out. He then roundhouse kicked Sairen across the face, sending him through the air down the corridor. He left a trail of blood along the ground.

"I'll get you for that you stupid…" Sairen passed out from loss of blood.

Shortly later, Captain Unohana, Lieutenant Kotetsu, and Ogido Harunobu ran down the corridors and came across a trail of blood. Unohana saw that the trail of blood led to the unconscious Sairen. She ran over to him and began her work on him to save his life.

"Sairen has lost a lot of blood; hopefully I'm not too late."

Sairen struggled to gain consciousness.

"Don't try to move or speak." Captain Unohana said.

"Aizen is….in Central….forty-six." He said before he passed out again.

After a few moments of tending to his wounds, she stood up and faced her 8th seated officer.

"Please take Sairen to the infirmary. Isane and I have to get to the Central forty six chambers."

"Yes,Captain Unohana."Harunobu said as he picked up Sairen and took off.

Unohana and Kotetsu took off for the Central 46 Chambers.

The next day, Sairen and Tokushi stood on Soukyoku Hill. Tokushi had a sling and Sairen was on crutches. They walked through the war torn battlefield.

"We'll get those bastards one day." Sairen said.

"I don't see it happening. I think the orange haired Ryoka will do it because he beat Captain Kuchiki."

"Yeah you're probably right. We don't get any fun around here."

The two of them looked over Soul Society from their high position.

A few days later, a girl walked down the streets in the first district of western Rukongai. She had short brown hair, brown eyes and an athletic build.

"Where am I?" She asked herself.

She continued walking down the streets of Rukongai, not knowing where she was going. She did see the Seireitei in front of her. Then she heard a weird sound come from above. She looked up to see the sky being torn open and hollows emerging from it.

"Hollows." She said.

People stared at the sky in horror, and then panic ensued. Two Shinigami ran past her heading towards the landing site of the hollows. She looked at the one wearing a yellow hilted Zanpakuto on his back.

"I recognize him." She said.

She returned her gaze to the hole in the sky to see a Menos Grande begin to come through.

"I remember that thing too."
