Aizen has made his way into Karakura Town and Ichigo with his friends are in Las Noches. While Byakuya and Kenpachi are busy with Yammy, Ichigo managed to sneak in the palace and was looking for Orihime.

"Orihime, where are you? Can you hear me?" Ichigo said as he tried his best to find her. "This place is huge. How does anyone even know where they're going?"

"You should never enter a place when you don't know the layout." Ichigo came to a stop when he heard a voice and it sounded familiar to him.

"I remember that voice." Ichigo said. He heard footsteps and they were getting louder, meaning they were getting closer. "I know that's you, Ulquiorra!"

"You're right." Ulquiorra and stepped into his sight and he had Orihime with his hand over her mouth.

"Orihime!" Ichigo said and Ulquiorra released her.

"Ichigo!" She was about to run towards him, but Ulquiorra grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"Let her go." Ichigo said.

"She belongs to Lord Aizen now." Ulquiorra said.

"That isn't for you to decide. She doesn't want anything to do with this." Ichigo said.

"And what might you do about it? Lord Aizen has already left for Karakura Town." Ulquiorra said. "It will be destroyed any moment now and he shall take over the duel monster spirit world."

"Are you serious?" Orihime said.

"Don't worry." Ichigo said. "I'll beat Aizen. It's never too late. I'll head back to Karakura Town after I deal with you."

"Oh please." Ulquiorra said. "You are in over your head this time. Lord Aizen might meet with some resistance, but he has already taken counter measures for that."

Aizen

Aizen stood faced with the remaining six head leaders of the Soul Society with Gin and Kaname stepping forward and standing next to Aizen.

"I would have thought they found our replacements by now." Gin said. "With only six of them, this won't be much of a challenge."

"You talk as if this is a game, Gin." Kaname said.

"A game where we already know the outcome." Aizen said.

"Sosuke Aizen, be aware that all of us here are more than willing to fight you with everything we have in order to stop you." Yamamoto said.

"I am. That is why I brought reinforcements." Aizen said. "Starrk, Baraggan, Harribel, it is time." The black opening Aizen came from had three more people come out. A man with brown hair, an old man, and a tanned woman with blonde hair. "These are my three strongest duelists besides Gin and Kaname. All of you shall meet your end here."

Ichigo

"I don't care what you might think, Ulquiorra." Ichigo said. "I'm taking Orihime home and I'm going to bring Aizen down. Although, I'm guessing there's only one way you're going to let us leave."

"Correct." Ulquiorra said as he brought out his duel disk. "Lord Aizen left this girl in my care and entrusted me to watch over Las Noches. If you want her to be free, you'll have to defeat me."

"Bring it on. I've been wanting a rematch for a while." Ichigo said. "I won't make the same mistakes I made last time."

"Ichigo?" Orihime said as she was concerned about how this was going to happen. She heard that he lost to Ulquiorra before.

"It'll be okay, Orihime." Ichigo said.

"That's what you think. Let's get started." Ulquiorra said and they both activated their duel disk. Ichigo was set to win and Ulquiorra was set to make sure this would be the last duel Ichigo ever had.

"Let's duel!" Both of them said.

"I'll start." Ichigo said. "I'll summon my Lunar Reaper." His female like reaper came on the field with 1100atk points. "I use her special ability to add a spell to my hand. The spell I chose is Twice the Element. This will allow me to summon a monster of the same attribute as my Lunar Reaper. She's a light attribute. That allows me to summon Kon the Lion." His stuffed lion came up and had 300atk points.

"What good will either of those monsters do?" Ulquiorra said.

"You're about to find out. I unite my light attribute, level three Lunar Reaper with level two Kon." Ichigo said. The two monsters became yellow energy that combined together. "I unite summon Nelliel the Antelope Knight." A woman with turquoise hair and a ram like skull for a helmet with the body of a ram like centaur came on the field and wielded a twin sided lance and had 2000atk points. "I'll place a face down and end my turn."

"You were able to summon a unite monster on your first turn." Ulquiorra stated. "I would be impressed if I was an amateur. "I summon my Darkened Dragon." A pitch black dragon that had glowing green eyes came on the field and had 1600atk points.

"I've got to be careful. I can't get careless like I did last time." Ichigo said.

"I activate my Fallen Void, spell." Ulquiorra said. "This spell negates the effects of a monster that can't be destroyed in battle for this turn. That includes your unite monsters."

"Nelliel is still stronger." Ichigo said.

"Not for long." Ulquiorra said. "I equip my dragon with the Black Pendent. This will give him 500atk points." A pendent appeared on the dragon and its points went to 2100. "Darkened Dragon, destroy that knight with Darkness Gale." The dragon unleashed a dark energy blast from its mouth.

"I don't think so. I use Nelliel's ability." Ichigo said. "If I use one unite unit, she can stop the attack and I can use one of two abilities." One unit went into the lance. Nelliel used the lance and stopped the attack. "I'm going with the ability to gain life points that are twice the amount of damage I would have taken." Ichigo's points rose to 4200. "Might not be much, but at least it's something."

"You can gain as many life points as you like. It won't change a thing." Ulquiorra said. "It's your turn now."

"Here I go." Ichigo said as he drew his card. "I'm going to summon my Swordsman of the Black Blade." His swordsman came up and had 1900atk points. "Next, I use Spiritual Phenomenon. This trap gives my monsters a hundred attack points for each life point I give away. I'll give away 300 life points and my monsters will have 300 more attack points." His points dropped to 3900 with his monsters having 2300 and 2200atk points. "Swordsman of the Black Blade, attack and slay that dragon with Black Slice and Dice." His swordsman sliced down on the dragon and destroyed it.

"You fool." Ulquiorra said.

"What?" Ichigo said.

"When my dragon is destroyed, I take no damage and your battle phase ends." Ulquiorra said. "There's also the effects of my Black Pendent. When it leaves the field, you lose 500LP." Ichigo got shocked and his life points dropped to 3400. "You haven't changed. You keep falling for all my traps. There's no chance of you winning."

"You never seem to stop talking. Make your next move." Ichigo said.

"Very well." Ulquiorra said and he looked at the card that he drew. He wasn't expecting to draw this one so soon.

Flashback

Before Ichigo came to Las Noches and before Aizen left for Karakura Town, Ulquiorra met with Aizen.

"Ulquiorra, I'm entrusting you with task of taking care of Las Noches while I'm in Karakura Town." Aizen said.

"Of course." Ulquiorra said.

"There's also something else." Aizen said as he took out the card Ulquiorra drew and handed it to him. "I have no doubt that Ichigo Kurosaki will come here to retake Orihime Inoue. When you duel him, I want you to use this card against him."

"Void of Nothing?" Ulquiorra said. "This sounds just like my Black Void of Nothingness. I don't understand why you would give this card to me."

"The name might be similar, but it's completely different. This card will destroy Ichigo." Aizen said. "It does come with a price, but a devoted duelist like yourself is willing to take that price."

End of Flashback

…

"I shall do as you say. I activate the Void of Nothing." Ulquiorra said as he played the card.

"Void of Nothing?" Ichigo said. 'In our last duel, he used the Black Void of Nothingness. That card blocked all of my attacks. It sounds similar, but there has to be a difference. What will this one do?' He thought.

"This card was entrusted me to Lord Aizen and he asked me to use it to destroy you and that's what I'm going to do." Ulquiorra said.
