Chapter 12:
"We've been patrolling for hours now... But still no sign of those hollows…" Yumichika said as he looked over through the entire town. "I'm getting tired..."
"Hmmp, they're such a coward!" Ikkaku exclaimed. Yumichika sighed.
"Well then, let's find Hinamori-fukutaichou and the others. " Yumichika said. When they're about to shunpoed away, something caught their attention.
"Ikkaku…that's…" Yumichika trailed off.
"Yeah.. that's the Garganta.." Ikkaku narrowed his eyes as he continued to stared at the opening Garganta above them. "Looks like they're back."
"Do you think the others sensed them too…?" Yumichika asked.
"Of course, you fool! They are not stupid!" Ikkaku yelled and then s mirked. "Hmmp, I don't care though. Let's welcome those unwanted guest over that Garganta."
"If you say so…" Yumichika grinned and they both go over the Garganta. Then suddenly a cero was charged at their direction. They both get away quickly.
"Haha, I think we're the ones who welcome you first before you did so.." the bull-looking hollow said as he looked down to Yumichika and Ikkaku. "Long time no see…baby shinigamis.." the hollow let out a sinister laugh. Ikkaku glared at them and unsheathed his zanpaktou.
"Ha! Laugh as much as you want now, because you're going to be beheaded by my zanpaktou, you idiotic bull-looking hollow!" Ikkaku said sarcastically. The bull-looking hollow stopped from laughing and narrowed his eyes to Ikkaku.
"I like to see you try, shinigami…" the bull-looking hollow replied.
"Enough with the talking!" another hollow appeared behind the bull-looking hollow. "Why do we settle this now? Right, shinigami?"
"Fine with me." Ikkaku replied back and was about to activated his bankai when Rangiku and the others appeared.
"Ah, you're here." Yumichika said.
"We sensed you and Ikkaku's reiatsu as well as the hollow's, that's why we went here immediately." Rangiku said.
"Ohh… You're all here now." The hollow interrupted. "Since you're all here now, why do we give you our greetings?" with that said, the garganta's opening grew wider, revealing a large number of menos grande and a few hollows. Momo and the others stared at it with horror.
"I know that you've been wondering what our plan was. And now that the right time has come, I'll tell you what our plan was… Our plan was… to invade the real world and destroy all the humans especially to take revenge and kill you, shinigamis… No one can stop us from achieving our goal…" the other hollow said and soon let out a sinister laugh. "And now, let's commence our plan.." with that said, all the menos grande started to come out from the garganta and went down to the town.
"Shit! We're running out of time! We should deal with them!" Renji cursed. "Hinamori, we'll take care of those 5 hollows. You, Matsumoto and Rukia will deal those menos grande."
"Hai!" Momo replied and unsheathed her zanpaktou and activated its shikai. "Snap, Tobiume!" She aimed the fireballs at the menos grande, but the menos grande seemed to be unhurt from her attack, turned to her direction and fired a cero to her. She got alerted and shunpoed away. "Tch."
"Rangiku-san! Kuchiki-san! Please move in the way!" Momo yelled at them who were fighting the other menos grande in her way. "Hado # 88: Hiryugekizokushintenraiho!" Rangiku and Rukia immediately moved out of the way when they heard her yelled and cast the Kido spell. A gigantic electricity blast of spiritual energy was fired at the menos grande as soon as Momo cast the spell, resulting in a truly enormous explosion and turning down the 5 hollows in the way.
"Whoa! That's awesome, Hinamori!" Rangiku appeared at Momo's side and patted her back then looked worryingly to her. "Momo, are you okay?" Momo stopped from panting and turned to her then offered her a smile.
"H-Hai.. Don't worry,Rangiku-san… " Momo replied back. Rangiku smiled back at her. "She can cast high level Kidous now…You really became strong, Hinamori… " Rangiku thought. The hollow that was watching the scene, frowned.
"Well, well…Don't be so happy just because you turned 5 menos grande in just oneshot… That's not the real problem..." the spider-looking hollow said. "Hi little missy, it's nice to see you again." Momo and Rangiku looked at him, kinda startled at his sudden appearance at their backs.
"The real problem was this." The hollow continued and his mask started to crumble and his appearance started to change into a human form. The hollow that was now an arrancar looked at her and smirked. The arrancar has spiky red hair with the remaining part of his mask was in his left forehead. He had his sword in his left waist.
"Y-You're…" Momo trailed off
"Yes, I'm an arrancar. We just hide our true form for us to move more freely for our plan.." the Arrancar said.
Meanwhile, Momo's gigai reached the area where Momo and the others are. She looked up and gasped. "Oh no…I'm too late…" Suddenly, a menos attacked her.
"Why don't we play for awhile, little missy..?" The arrancar said as unsheathes his sword and attack Momo. Momo blocked his attacks. "Heh, not bad." He said. Momo was about to attacked her opponent when she noticed her gigai being attacked by one of the menos grande. She shunpoed away from the arrancar to help her gigai.
"Hado #63: Raikaho!" a massive wave of yellow energy was aimed at the menos grande. Momo's gigai took the opportunity to escape. "Arigatou, Momo-sama…" She mentally thanked Momo.
"Hey, did you forget that I'm your opponent?" the red-haired arrancar said as he attacked Momo. Momo blocked his attacked. "Nice try, little missy.." the arrancar then shot her by cero. Momo gasped and cast a Kido spell.
"Bakudo # 39: Enkosen!" a shield of condensed reiatsu appeared in front of her and blocked the cero. But the cero strong enough to send her flying a few meters away.
"Tch. I missed." The red-haired arrancar frowned as he watched her fall down on the nearby building.
"Hinamori!" Rangiku yelled but as she was about to came over for Momo's help, another arrancar appeared in front of her. The arrancar has a black long haired with white streaks. He had his remaining mask in his jaw. The said arrancar unsheathed his sword and attack Rangiku. Rangiku blocked it with her zanpaktou.
"Hado # 54. Haien!" a blast of purple spiritual energy was aimed at the arrancar once Rangiku cast the Kido spell. The arrancar got alerted and get away from Rangiku.
"Ohh, that was close." The black-haired arrancar said as he looked to his right sleeve that was hit by Rangiku's attacked.
Meanwhile, Momo was panting and on her knees.
"Are you tired, little missy? Looks like you're having a hard time dealing with me." The arrancar said sarcastically. Momo looked up at the arrancar who was in front of her. She reached for her zanpaktou.
"You know, I hate to see cute girls like you suffering.. Why don't we just kill you right now to end your suffering? Isn't that a great offer?" the arrancar added. Momo glared at him.
"Bakudo # 62: Hyapporankan.." Momo whispered as a rod formed of energy is thrown towards the arrancar and then disintegrates into numerous short rods and pinned the arrancar to the wall of the building they were standing in.
"Damn you…! You tricked me!" the red-haired arrancar gritted his teeth as he struggles to break free. Momo stood up and walked over the captured arrancar.
"Hado # 54: Hai—" Momo was about to attacked the captured arrancar when a cero fired at her. Momo shunpoed away but when she looked up to know who attacked her, she gasped as the blue-haired arrancar appeared in front of her and kicked her at the stomach. The arrancar watched her fall unto the ground. Momo clutched her stomach where she was got kicked and began to coughed out some blood. She was about to stand up when she sensed familiar reiatsu. "This reiatsu…" She turned her head to her right side and saw a familiar person.
"Shiro-chan! What are you doing here? It's dangerous here! Please leave immediately!" Momo yelled but sounded worried.
"Momo!" young Toushiro ran over where she as lying. The moment he saw Momo injured and lying on the ground, he suddenly felt angry and mentally note to himself that he will surely kill the person who hurt her. But…how? At his current state, how will he depend her. "Damn it! I…I can't protect her again! I'm so useless!" young Toushiro thought angrily. He didn't notice the menos grande that approaching him as he focus his attention to Momo. Momo noticed this.
"Shiro-chan! Don't! Please run!" Momo yelled. Young Toushiro snapped back to reality and noticed the menos grande, ready to shoot him a cero. "Shit!" young Toushiro cursed. Then the cero was finally fired at him by the menos grande and a large explosion happened where young Toushiro was last seen. Momo felt her heartbeat stopped and her tears are starting to fall from her eyes. "N..No…."
"No…This can't b-be…" Momo felt her body went numb and her cheeks were covered by her tears.
"SHIRO-CHAN!"
