Haya Kuchiki POV

Emiko grinned as she saw the blood on the tip of Amaya's blade. Who's blood was that's? I looked in the battle scene of Amaya and Kyoto's. Kyoto was on his knee next to… Captain Ukitake?!

I resisted the urge to scream out at him, to make sure he was okay. Captain Ukitake was down on his knees coughing nonstop. Nanao stood there, too afraid and unsure of what to do.

"We can open the portal m'lady. This Captain has been captain for quite a while, I can tell. Also he also very powerful, he should do very well" reported Amaya with a straight face.

They have the bloods to open the portal. That's right; Captain Ukitake was captain along with Captain Kyoraku for a very long time, longer than all the other captains except for the Head Captain. He meets their requirements perfectly! Not to mention, they took advantage of his illness! How dare they do that?!

"Yes, Amaya, Kishi, Sachi and Bert. Prepare to depart to Hueco Mundo. They'll see their queen soon enough" smirked Emiko.

"Portal to Hueco Mundo?! What are you talking about?" questions Ichigo as he gripped Tensa Zangetsu harder, his knuckles turning white. Emiko stared at him, before laughing like a maniac.

"What am I talking about?! Why I'm the soon-to-be queen of Hueco Mundo! And you guys," she pointed at all of us individually in turn.

"Can't stop me now" Emiko glared with a deadly smirk playing on her lips. I pursed my lips in anger. We lost. We fail-

"I cannot allow that to happen. Bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi" said a familiar voice. I whipped my head to look at Father. He had a gaze I never seen him have. A gaze of determination.

He dropped his sword into the ground and the sword fell through as if the ground was water. Then millions upon millions of swords surrounded us in a row.

"What is a weak Bankai going to do me?" teased Emiko. She beyond help now.

With a simple move of Father's hand, the million little sharp blades flew towards Emiko, cutting her varies places but doesn't move herself.

"How dumb can you be? You're speeding up the process of the opening of the portal. Amaya" taunted Emiko as she ordered Amaya to come towards her. Amaya obeyed silently as she extended her sword out. She turned the blade so that the blood from Captain Ukitake slowly dropped onto the ground.

Emiko, looking at the cut on her shoulder, used her finger to wipe the blood from the cut and allowed the blood to drop onto Captain Ukitake's. I have to act quickly; I can't let them go to Hueco Mundo!

I charged at Emiko with my Zanpukuto raised. She stood there with a mocking smile while wagging her finger. I'm going to show this woman what I'm made of.

"Kuroi To-" I started before someone pulled me back making me land on my butt.

"Haya no, it's too dangerous get back" ordered Kyoto. I glared at him and got up. I regained my stance before going in again. However, I was too late.

The blood from Emiko's finger as already fallen and it was seconds before the two bloods mixed.

My eyes widened as big plates as the two bloods were less than a second away. Then, it happened. When the two bloods came into contact, a large, blinding blue light appeared along with gushing wind.

All of us were trying to keep our stances but some of us lost footing and flew back, colliding with the back wall. Soon, I too, was pushed back from the wind and into the wall, breaking it.

I landed on my back but still kept tumbling down. Holding onto the broken concrete, I watched as the Alpha Knights walk towards the portal. Emiko turned around to look at us one more time.

"Good bye Soul Reapers!" crackled Emiko as she, Amaya, Kishi, Sachi and Bert jumped through the portal. After Bert who was the last one to jump through, the portal dimmed down.

Ichigo immediately ran in order to get through to Hueco Mundo with the Alpha Knights. But, the portal closed just before he could get through.

"Dammit! We there this close! How can I let them go? Urrggghh" Ichigo yelled. Panting, I got up from where I pushed back.

"There is a way to get to Hueco Mundo if I'm not mistaked" I said. I told them what I had in mind to get to Hueco Mundo. No one disagreed so we headed over to the place that will allow us to go to Hueco Mundo; the Urahara Shop.

By the time we got there, the sun was slowly starting to peek from the horizon. The shop was still the same. I walked up to the door and knocked. We were waiting for a response before we heard a someone yawning. Opening the door, Kisuke, the previous Squad 12 Captain greeted us with a yawn.

"What are you guys doing here?" he said with droopy eyes.

"We need you to open the portal that will allow us to go Hueco Mundo" explained Ichigo. Kisuke nodded and let everyone in. As we were about to go down to his 'training ground', Kyoto said something.

"I'm not going" he stated. Everyone looked at him with confusion.

"My Uncle isn't doing well and I can't allow him to continue this mission. I'll stay back with him" Kyoto said with worried expression. Then Orihime stepped forward.

"Kyoto, why don't you go with the group. I'll stay back with Captain Ukitake" offered Orihime. Orihime has a really kind heart. Kyoto thought about it for a long time.

"Kyoto we don't have forever" whisper-shouted Yugana. Then a few seconds later, Kyoto made his decision.

"Fine. Orihime, I leave my Uncle in your hands" said Kyoto as he rested a hand on her shoulder.

"Yes sir!" replied Orihime as she places a hand to her forehead like she was saluting. Kyoto smiled and joined us.

After the preparations, Kisuke opened the gate and all of us passed through.

Running in the abyss of darkness, Captain Hitsugaya was leading the way. With our walkway of Spiritual Engery, we quickly arrived at Hueco Mundo.

Once my feet landed on the white sand of Hueco Mundo, I can already feel the millions, no billions of Hollows lurking around. I just hope we don't bump into any.

"Let's get this search started. They can't be that far off" said Captain Hitsugaya with a stern gaze. I looked around and no one had a face of fear, only determination.

We started running in the desert of Hueco Mundo in search of the Alpha Knights. Let's hope we're not too late.
