Chapter 3:

Normal POV

Gin walked through the halls of the huge Hueco Mundo place a smirk on his face, as usual. Their attempt to weaken the Soul reapers in the world of the living had failed but a new, far more interesting matter had arisen. Tosen had informed him that the powerful group of hollows they had sent to the world of the living had mysteriously vanished. He had no idea why yet, but he had concluded that another force had mixed with the spiritual pressure field surrounded Karkura Town. It was highly possible, but at the same time unbelievable.

As he neared the huge door at the end of the hallway Gin's worries grew, like he was immersed in his concerns. He tapped on the door before it opened with a loud cccrrreeeeeaaaakkkk, giving him a headache immediately. No matter how much they oiled that door, it would always creak. "It'll be useful one night when an assassin tries to seek in and try to kill me in my sleep" Aizen would always joke. "Then I wake up because of the creaking and kill him instead,"

Gin thought he was crazy (Author: Yeah, like you aren't Mr. I-can-t-stop-smiling-even-when-I'm-about-to-die). Or maybe he was playing Assassin's Creed too much. Aizen was gazing at the starry night from the balcony. He turned around and gave Gin a confused stare.

"Gin, I didn't summon you. What brings you here?" He asked.

Gun cleared his throat. "Well it seems that the group of hollows we've sent to the world of the living have…" Gin paused for a second before he continued. "Vanished," He finished.

"What! How is that possible?" Aizen yelled angrily.

Gin had never seen this side of Aizen before and it was sure to get ugly.

"Where not so sure yet, Lord Aizen," Gin apologized. "Tosen been trying to figure out why but he hasn't come up with an answer yet," He added taking a few steps away from the fuming Aizen.

Aizen closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath and sighed. "What information does he have?" He asked impatiently.

"He's found some sort of unknown force in the air. He thinks it might have mixed with the Spiritual Pressure given off by the Soul Reapers in Karkura Town and caused an opening to another world," Gin began explaining. "We've also found mixes of that force with spiritual pressure, causing small portals to open up, leading to that world," He finished.

Aizen's anger suddenly turned into pleasure. He smirked as Gin raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Bring me Starrk, Hailbel, and Grimmjow. I have an emergency mission for them," He decided quickly.

Gin rushed out of the room as if his life depended on it. He ran down the hall to the wreck room, where the espatarelaxed (and where Starrk napped) after missions. He opened the door and found Starrk and Lilynette playing go-fish along with Grimmjow and Hailbel having a death match on Ratchet: Deadlocked.

"D*mn Hailbel…since when have you become the Deadlocked master?" He grumbled under his breath.

"Haveyou forgotten I'm battling the main villain and you're still battling Ace Hardware?" She replied as she gave Grimmjow the killing blow.

"Ace HardLIGHT!" Grimmjow corrected. "He's not a hardware store!"

Gin cleared his throat loudly, causing the espata to look up confused.

"Aizen has requested all of you, except for you Lilynette," He told them as he gave the signal to follow.

"Whatever, I'm losing anyway," Stark agreed reluctantly as he put down his playing cards.

Lilynette groaned, the annoyance in her groan quite clear. Gin lead the espata back down the halls to Aizen's room. Upon entering, they found Aizen, whom was still standing where he was before, as if he never moved, which mostly likely hasn't. He smirked at the espata and gave Gin the order to leave. Gin bowed respectfully and left.

"I have a very dangerous mission for you three," Aizen began. "The spiritual pressure in Karkura Town has been mixed with another force, causing a portal to another world to open. Your mission is to-"

"Lord Aizen are you sure you haven't been drinking lately?" Grimmjow wondered raising an eyebrow in confusion.

Aizen growled under he breath. "As I was saying…your mission is to investigate this new world. See if anyone lives in that other world and if they do…bring a citizen back here. I would like to see if they have any information to spare about their world. Judging by their force that has broken through they must be very powerful and could be of use to us," He explained.

Hailbel raised an eyebrow, like Grimmjow had, as Starrk yawned. Aizen must have gone drinking last night and he's having a hangover. That was the only logical explanation to the gibberish he's been saying.

"Go to Karkura Town and find a portal that connects to that world. You'll know you have found it when we see the scenery is slightly blurry and through the blurry spot and it will take you to that world," Aizen told them as he touched the air, opening up a garganta leading to Karkura Town. "And good luck," He wished them as they carefully stepped into the portal.

Starrk gave Aizen a quick, Are sure you haven't gone mad? Look before the portal closed up.
