A/N: What I have changed includes: How Gracie died, some of Ry's poem, there's more foreshadowing of the 'deja vu'/ gut feeling, why Ichigo and gang showed up in seireitei, big changes in the reason that the sequence of the original universe changed (butterfly effect here), there's a little add on when Toshiro and Matsumoto are in Las Noches looking for Gracie.
Most of these battles (dialogue) are taken straight from the manga so..
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the dialogue to the fight scenes or the outcomes of those battles. I do not own Bleach in general.

*~Narrators Verse~*

"Captain Kurotsuchi," Hitsugaya called out of breath. He managed to catch Kurotsuchi Mayuri right before he left the twelfth division.

"Ah, Hitsugaya Taicho, did you manage to place the tracker?"

"About that, it's not on her person, but in the room that she's been in. Would it still work?"

"Let's find out," Kurotsuchi lead Hitsugaya to a rather large computer screen.

Crazily, he typed at speeds Hitsugaya couldn't keep up with. The screen flashed different documents, folders, research data, charts and photos. With each press of the keys and click of the mouse, more and more popped up until an encrypted file encompassed the whole screen.

Kurotsuchi typed in the necessary pass code to get to the tracking devices he had sitting in his lab, but more specifically to the one in Gracie's room.

"It's not reading her reiraku. Where exactly did you place the tracker?"

"On the door knob so if she touches-" the black screen began to light up.

"Ah, okay. I believe that the tracker has made contact with her. It should be able to read it now."

This 'tracker' is a device that Kurotsuchi has been developing. What it does, is once on a person, it reads the reiraku and uses the persons reiatsu to send a signal via the device to Kurotsuchi's lab. It isn't personalized to tell the slight difference in reiraku from person to person, but it's enough to tell if the target is a human, shinigami, or arrancar. In Ichigo's case, the screen would light up red; signaling that the transmissions have started.

When the screen lit up, however, the two Captains were stunned into silence. The two looked back and forth at each other, then to the screen, with perplexed scowls on their faces. How could they explain this?

Then, a thought popped into their heads; seemingly at the same time.

"Elemental."

The two shunpo'd out of the room and to the senkai gate, but left the program running to keep track of Gracie's, golden, reiraku.

*~Graceful Melody~*

"Gin, let go of me. You're making me very nervous and I'm already to-"

"Gracie-chan, stop. As much as it'll pain us we gotta do this. Jus remember, Ichigo is our last hope; so do whatcha can to help him when yar with Aizen."

"What do you mean when I am with Aizen?"

"Graciela, so nice of you to finally show up."

I looked around to take in my surroundings, it was just the four shinigami's and the top three espada; apparently I held up their departure.

'I wouldn't want them to be late, now would I?' I thought with sarcastic sweetness.

Tosen, Momo and Aizen joined myself and Gin behind the espada; who jumped through the garganta one after the other. When I was finally out, I realized that I was the last one and that the others were at least two yards below me. When I moved to be with the rest of them, Gin shot me a look that said, 'stay where you are.'

I was confused over the fact I was to stay by the, now closing, garganta. Another question sped through my mind: 'why did he make me wear this and what's up with all these outfit changes!'

Yes, I have another change of clothing. This time, Aizen forced me to wear a, albeit gorgeous, flowing, white gown.* It was very Greco-Roman like and billowed out behind my in very light waves. The dress, which would have dragged around my feet if I was walking on a normal floor, fell lower than the mentioned appendages by a few inches. In all, it gave me the appearance and somewhat the attitude, of a Roman goddess; exactly as Aizen wanted it to be.

But the white dress conveyed not only the superiority that Aizen has, but since it is all white; it depicted the side I would, forcibly, be on in this war. Thankfully, no one doubted that fact.

When Gin turned his head, most -if not all- of the soul reapers turned their heads incase a new threat was approaching. When they caught sight of me, most were stunned at my appearance. Although the others, like Yamamoto, already knew my purpose and greeted me with a slight nod.

I greeted them back with a small smile and a blush, one that appeared thanks to the feeling of people stares all over my body. I felt entirely exposed in front of everyone, yet aggravated at the prideful smirk that Aizen's face held; as if I was his creation, his perfect weapon.

When the tension became nearly unbearable, Yamamoto spoke up, "looks like we made it in time."

But in Aizen's mind, he was blaming me for nearly making them 'late' and I didn't even need to read it to know that.

'Tch. He needs to grow up,' I deadpanned at Ella's comment.

"In time? Where on Earth do you have the proof to say such a thing? I know what we have here is not Karakura town, but it would not be a threat to me at all."

Starrk, Baraggan and Harribel stepped forward from the group, along with their individual fracción. Aizen began to talk again, but I tuned him out and began to focus on the reiatsu around me, what he has to say isn't really important -to me- anyway. At least this way I'll be able to know when I would be of help to any of my comrades. Besides, I can also issue them a possible warning; but then again they are the strongest members of the Gotei 13.. they most likely wont need my help to begin with.

An enormous amount of reiatsu burst from the person, who to myself, always had their reiatsu suppressed the best; Captain Commander Yamamoto.

"Incinerate all creations, Ryuujin Jakka."

Out of the three head espada, Starrk was the only one to react, well, allow his face to display the evident shock the three were all feeling. The others merely held their unimpressed gazes. I began to seethe, they have no idea of what Yamamoto is capable of; but yet they immediately dismiss him!

The way I was raised, it was always proper to give someone a chance before judging; but then again, that could also be the reason as to why I have been betrayed too often. No, no, no. I will not blame my parents-

"Jokaku enjou, at least for a little while."

Aizen, Tosen, Gin and Momo were immediately concealed within the forest of flames once Yamamoto issued his command. I tapped into Gin's mind real quick to see what Aizen has to say.

'There is no plan. This battle will be over long before we'll ever need to lift a finger. That's all there is to it.'

'Ass!' I said into Gin's mind; on accident.

'Gracie-chan wouldya quit screamin in mah head!'

'Sorry Gin!'

I looked though my eyes at the scene unfolding below me with and unchanging, stoic, gaze. With a snap of his fingers Baraggan's fracción lifted some sort of material and hundreds of bones flew behind Baraggan. When they were all assembled, the bones acted as a kind of throne. I seethed at his arrogance, I still have no clue how all these espada could act so imperious in the face of their demise. Then again, Aizen is the one who brought them all together…

Baraggan, over Starrk and Lilynette's fighting, spoke his correct theory on how Karakura town had managed to be switched for the fake one. Throughout his whole rant, I could not get the feeling that something is missing out of my gut. Knowing how that gut feeling has played out before; something is definitely up.

Then I realized that the head of bright orange hair, the quincy, the other ryoka and Inoue are missing. What exactly is happening for Ichigo to be missing from the battle that he is going to win for Soul Society? But the answer came to me when I looked into the not yet closed, garganta behind me.

Ulquiorra always showed possession over Inoue, with Ichigo coming to save Inoue earlier… uh-oh. They must be fighting over her.

'Didn't Ichigo and Ulquiorra fight earlier?'

'That was before Ichigo and.. Grimmjow's fight.'

'I guess there was a lull in the fighting when you fell asleep before.'

'I was only out for twenty minutes! The only thing I remember is Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Kenpachi and Byakuya fighting Yammy, and I wouldn't exactly call that a lull in fighting.'

Before either of us could finish out conversations, four other hollows appeared out of gargantas; which were summoned by Baraggan. Immediately after, they sped towards the pillars, but right before they could have made contact with the pillars; they were destroyed.

Shuuhei, Kira, Yumichika and Ikkaku were stationed by the pillars to protect them; definitely capable fighters. But of course, Baraggan did not look impressed.

"Only four fighters?"

I glared daggers at him from my unmoving position. As much as I want to go help them, I know that I'll be of more use much later in the war.

Baraggan sent over four of his fracción to counter our four pillar keepers. The eight all began their battles, some were screaming; pointlessly might I add, while the others wanted to end the fights as quick as they possibly could go.

Tears began forming in my eyes at the thoughts of not being able to fight while my friends were fighting this war. I was supposed to help them! Now I won't be there and surely they will think that I have betrayed them.

When Kira's words reached my mind, I let the tears flow freely.

"War is full of despair, It dark, dreadful, it is a thing of sorrow and gloom."

"That doesn't even begin to brush on how I feel right now," I mumbled under my breath.

"Now then, it's finally time for the real battle."

I snapped my attention back to my comrades below, not even bothering to fight the tears that streamed down my cheeks in waves any longer.

With an air of intensity, Yamamoto yelled, "get them!"

With resolve and determination in all of the soul reapers eyes, Yamamoto continued, "we must risk our lives to defeat them here! Do not let them pass, even if your flesh is torn from your bones! We must not let them set foot in Soul Society!"

'Good luck everyone!' I couldn't help it; I needed to make sure they knew I was still rooting for them.

I knew what would be coming from the other battles so I focused the rest of my attention on Hitsugaya and Matsumoto; I needed to know if they would be alright without my help this time around. I just don't know what I would do if either one of them got fatally in-

'Don't worry about me Graciela, save your energy for later. We are all depending on your to destroy the hogyoku.'

'Hitsugaya!'

*~Narrators Verse~*

"Captain, I'll take these three, you take the espada."

"Can you do it?"

"Yes," Matsumoto assured.

"...All right. I'll leave them to you."

Hitsugaya Toshiro moved towards his opponent after his exchange of words with Gracie; who now was taking her time to calm down. For Hitsugaya is right, she must save her energy for later and she knows that letting her emotions go, like so, always leaves her drained.

Tia Harribel unsheathed her sword and swung it around in a fast circle; obviously ready for battle. After a surge of quick, yet planned attacks and even faster blocks; Hitsugaya ad Harribel broke apart.

"Before, I felt a disturbance in your spiritual energy."

"What're you talking about?"

"What happened?" Harribel pushed farther.

"Hell if I know."

After the exchange of simple words, well, lies for Hitsugaya, the two went back at it. A type of pattern picked up between the two, near evenly matched, fighters. Sonído, swing, retreat and try again, or flash step, block, swing, retreat and try again. The monotonous pattern was uninterrupted for minutes on end; until a rapid drop of spiritual pressure caused Hitsugaya to be distracted for a mere second; allowing Harribel to land a small, but smarting, cut on Hitsugaya's left forearm.

Graciela threw her hands over her mouth in attempt to suppress the yells she wanted to cry out. Her tears returned and the momentary calm that washed over her; now is long forgotten.

'So-soten-'

'Graciela! You mustn't! Save that until afterwards! If you heal her now, she will fight again and end up with more injuries anyway!'

'But if I don't do anything… what if she dies!'

'Kira is over there, trying to heal her. You have no part in this stage of the war Gracie-'

'We'll do what we can to keep you calm, just don't focus on the battles any longer.'

'Ella is right and when it's time for you to fight; we'll let you leave this world.'

'For now though, you're staying in here; with us.'

The three put Gracie in a kind of coma, but her attention was fixed on the battles below; as if she was conscious enough to focus. In reality the three sought to comfort and calm Gracie, for no one could afford for her distraction later in the battle.

But that knowledge put a larger stress on Gracie, to know that even though Ichigo is their last hope; she is the one that everyone is relying on. Sure, she knew that Ichigo would be able to defeat Aizen; but just the fact that they need her to destroy the hogyoku, the power source that not even its creator could destroy; unnerved her beyond normal comprehension.

"It seems that your lieutenant could not handle my fracción," Harribel observed.

"Do not speak like you know Matsumoto's powers," Hitsugaya defended; angrily.

They continued their fighting, really resumed the tedious pattern, but with the rapidly fluctuating reiatsu coming from Harribel's fracción, this time around; she is the one distracted. Hitsugaya managed to hit her a few times, but thanks to the hierro Harribel possesses, the attacks left nothing on her skin.

When the three fracción's spiritual energy died out all together, Tia Harribel backed away from Hitsugaya.

"Apacci, Sun-Sun, Mila-Rose; you have fought well."
At the same time, the espada lifted her shirt ever slightly, to reveal her rank. The number three laid tattooed on the inner part of her breast; but it was visible enough for Hitsugaya to see it perfectly.

Hitsugaya allowed a shocked look to cross his face momentarily before he commented on the number, "power such as yours, and you are still only the third..."

"Power such as mine?" Harribel began, "I have no recollection of showing you the extent of my powers just yet, brat."

Harribel unzipped her jacket so that her hollow bone was visible, it covered the bottom half of her face, part of her neck, and extends down to cover the very top of her breasts; a lot like the way her vest was acting as a top.

The intensity in their gazes increased as exponentially as the tension between the two individuals. Without warning, Hitsugaya released his bankai.

"Bankai! Daiguren Hyourinmaru!"

The ice encroached over Hitsugaya's back and wrapped around the very base of his shoulders and under his arms. With amazing speed, Harribel sped towards Hitsugaya and swung down upon him. Ice was shattered and spewed out from the form he takes in bankai and fell around the two.

"This is a captain's strength?" Harribel asked after her attack broke the ice off of Hitsugaya's bankai.
"I'll put an end to this," she continued, "attack!"

Hitsugaya was sent skidding backwards a few feet, when he regained his fighting posture; Harribel was poised to attack again.

"Projectile azule," no sooner then the swing of Harribel's sword did a blue wave of energy, in the form of said sword, speed towards Hitsugaya.

"Is that the best you can do? This is a captain's strength?" She repeated yet again, "Apacci and the others lost to this?"

Hitsugaya, who was bleeding from the forehead, looked up at Harribel in anticipation.

"I'll finish this now, attack! Tiburón," water engulfed Harribel for a short period of time, it flew out around her in a shape that strongly resembled a heart.* At least it retained that shape until the water wrapped fully around Harribel like a cocoon.

Hitsugaya's expression looked nothing less than shocked. Albeit, it could only be because their weapons are more alike than he must have though, hers water and his ice.

'That's her resurrección? She hasn't changed as much outwardly as I expected... but it would be fatal to underestimate her,' Hitsugaya thought.

The most prominent change is that her sword grew to around the size of her body and distinctly resembled the tooth of a shark.

Before Hitsugaya could even comprehend, his right shoulder along with his arm, was severed from the rest of his body. His spiritual pressure fluctuated wildly for a moment, but that was enough to unsettle Gracie.

'Celest? Let me look for a moment.. I just want – need- to see what's going on out there!' She couldn't handle it any more, with all the pressure around her, it was no help to her sanity to have her eyes closed. Thanks to her wild imagination, each time any pressure dipped even a little, she assumed the worst and through her imagination's eye; she saw what she thought was going on as a projection on her closed eyelids.

No answer was heard from Celest, not even Ry or Ella.

'Really guys? This is no time to give me the cold shoulder! Hel-... LET ME SEE WHAT'S GOING ON!' Gracie raged.

Still, no answer. But the reiatsu of the person who made her freak out, stopped fluctuating. A smug kind of attitude radiated through her inner world; as if her three spirits were telling her they were right all along.

"What the..?" Hitsugaya spoke his shock out loud while staring where his arm, and part of his side, used to be.

"You are no match for me. One blow from the shark and the ice dragon sinks to the sea."

As if on queue, the dismembered appendage of the 'ice dragon' hit the rubble meters below where Hitsugaya and Harribel are fighting. A satisfying, to Harribel, thump was heard from the fall and Harribel deemed her fight with Hitsugaya over.

She turned her attention to Yamamoto, "you're next. I'll make you pay for taking their lives."

Yamamoto looked condescendingly at the busty woman and before she could fully comprehend; a sword was flying towards her face. Unfortunately for Hitsugaya, her instinct kicked in at the last possible second and ducked below the blow destined to decapitate her.

With anger in her blue eyes, she looked back at the attacker himself and found Hitsugaya to be perfectly fine.

Instinct again, aided with muscle memory, swung Harribel's sword towards Hitsugaya; who in return dodged.

"What's going on?" Harribel couldn't help but question.

"I didn't think your release would make you that much faster and stronger so quickly. Good thing I was prepared just in case."

Behind Harribel, the dismembered body of Hitsugaya cracked and broke apart, revealing it to be just ice.

"I can only use this once though," Hitsugaya continued, "So I'd wanted to hold off as I could... Don't underestimate our strength."

Attacks were flying from the two left and right at higher speeds than before. A blast of water from Harribel, however, was always frozen by Hitsugaya with nearly no effort. The ice would then shatter and clatter to the ground as no more than rubble to add to the already large pile.

"Don't underestimate us," Hitsugaya began again, "you must've figured it our by now. For someone like me who uses an ice-type zanpakuto, all the water around me is merely a weapon; even if that water is your weapon. Simply having control over water, will never be enough to reach me."

"Oh it will," Harribel countered, "and it can reach you anytime at all. If you want to see how, then I'll show you. Come."

"You think I'll fall for your boast and help close the distance between us? That's why I keep saying you're underestimating us!" Hitsugaya formed an ice dragon and sent it flying towards Harribel, yet again.

"You're the one underestimating me," Harribel replied with.

"Burning current," a large amount of water shot out towards Hitsugaya as if it was an arrow launched off a hunters bow.
"Whenever you arrive at the idea that my water will become your weapon, you must also realize that the opposite may be possible as well. That is the iron law of battle."
With the slight move of her sword and the command, "cutting waterfall," the torrent of water descended upon Hitsugaya like a tsunami's wave.

"'If one's own attack can become the enemies weapon, then the opposite is true as well,' eh?" Hitsugaya began once he parted the wave of water with his sword like the Red Sea, "I'm well aware of that, I don't need you to lecture me about that. Guncho Tsurara!"

Numerous ice daggers formed and with the swing of his sword sped towards Harribel, but she did not allow the smallest look of worry to cross her features.

"..Any attack with have the same results. Hirviendo," within seconds the, former, ice daggers boiled into nothing.

Sensing something behind her, Harribel turned her head to see the wave of ice come off of Hitsugaya's sword; aimed right at her. But Harribel used her sword to destroy the ice that nearly encased her.

"But I'll tell you one thing as a thanks for your little lecture, one faces the most danger during one's best attack. That is also one of the rules of battle."

"La gota," and a spiraling projectile was sent towards Hitsugaya; which he dodged.

After a short chase over a new set of buildings, Harribel unleashed a cero.

"Tch, that was a weak attack," says the guy whose left ice wing was cut in half, "...but I'm not surprised. You're waiting for the same thing aren't you? Waiting for the battlefield to be filled with condensation so you can finish me off in one blow."

A short paused filled the air between them with tension (although I bet they both wished for a 100% humidity level) "...oh well," Hitsugaya broke the silence, "we'll never get anywhere if we are both after the same thing. I've never tried this in bankai mode, but there's a first time for everything."

"What are you talking about?" Harribel questioned.

"The thing is, I don't have to wait for water Hyourinmaru is the most powerful of ice-based attacks."

A spark of either recognition, or shock, passed over Harribel's face and her eyes widened in anticipation.

"All water is my weapon. All of heaven, is under my command. Hyoten Hyakkaso."

"What? What is that?" Harribel called in confusion while looking up to the, now darkening, sky.

"Tenso jurin is one of Hyourinmaru's basic powers... and the strongest. My powers aren't yet fully mature, I'm aware of that. So I didn't want to use it in bankai mode. I wasn't sure, if I could control it. But the ice behind me is about half gone so I don't think I need to worry about that any more. What is your name espada?"

"Tercera espada, Tia Harribel."

"I am captain of the 10th division, Hitsugaya Toshiro. ...Here I come."

On that queue a gaping circle opened up, in the layer of clouds that formed, above Hitsugaya as he called, "Hyoten Hyakkaso," for the second time.

Snow began to pool out of the hole in the sky and Harribel did not look pleased one bit. To counter, she began to call, "hir-" but was cut off when flakes began to fall on her sword and all around her. Where ever the flakes of ice landed on her skin; ice flowers bloomed in its wake.

"Wha...? What the hell?" Tia Harribel screamed in aggravation.

"Hyoten Hyakkaso," Hitsugaya began to explain, "whomever touches the snow instantly freezes like a flower."

Quickly, more and more snow pile on Harribel and more flowers emerged. But Hitsugaya was not done with his explanation just yet, "when the last of the flower's 100 petals fall, your life will be over."

Where Harribel formerly stood, a looming tower of ice flowers lay with the tercera espada within it. Slowly; the petals of the flowers began to fall off of Hitsugaya's attack.

"Sorry, guess you won't be able to avenge your underlings," Hitsugaya added in mock concern.

He turned away from her for a few moments, but no sooner than he was about to take permanent leave; Harribel thrust her swords out of her elegant ice-flower coffin.

As surprised as Hitsugaya looked, he already began to plan another attack, another strategy; because really, this fight was dragging on far too slowly.

After the distraction of Wonderweiss's, annoying, call and the vizards attacking the gillians; Tia Harribel fully broke loose from Hitsugaya's attack. Immediately, Harribel went to attack Hitsugaya, to finish what they started but Lisa and Hiyori blocked the attack and parried with one of their own.

"Looks like there's no time.. to worry about whether you're friend or foe."

"Same here," Hiyori began, "I don't want to be helping you out shinigami! But this isn't the time for that now."

"She's right. You don't need a special reason for two groups of strangers to join forces."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. That's all the reason we need," Lisa finished for Hiyori and Hachi.

"Hey, I want to ask you something-"

"Keep it short, and I'm not gonna tell you any more about us," Hiyori interrupted Hitsugaya.

"That's fine, I just have a favor. I hate to ask this of a complete stranger but.. Can you take care of these guys? I want to fight Aizen."

Those words, like all the others, filtered trough Gracie's ears. But something about them pushed her too far, more of less; really the person who spoke them. Even Celest couldn't control her from 'waking up' from the strong hold that she put on Gracie's conscious.

"Hit-" but thankfully she stopped herself before anyone noticed who began to talk.

'Hitsugaya! This isn't how it's supposed to go!'

'Yea well, you aren't exactly able to help so I'm going to do this myself.'

'But-'

He closed her voice out of his mind to really focus on what Hiyori was saying.

"Huh? Are you crazy? What are you talking about? WE came here to kill him too! Besides, you were having trouble with these guys before we got here. How do you think you're gonna take on Aizen?"

'Oh please, please, let that knock some sense into Hitsugaya,' Gracie thought.

"Y-you're right. I guess I panicked... just forget it."
But Lisa didn't sound so convinced.

'Jeeze Hitsugaya, you nearly gave me a heart attack!' But Gracie' words went ignored.

"Forget it? That's ALL you have to say?" Hiyori began to rant, "aren't you even gonna apologize of anything?"

"S-sorry..."

"HUH! I can't hear you. Look at me!" What are you doing dressed as a captain at your age anyway? Are you really a captain? I thought you were just playing dress up! I get it! Let me guess! You cheated somehow to get made a captain, so that's why you're panicking now! Otherwise you'd never have said something so stupid, right, baldy?"

Gracie began to laugh, as silently as possible, at Hiyori's words. Even Ella and Ry joined in too.

'Bu-but he's -bahahaa- he's not even bald!'

Hiyori continued, "baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy, baldy! … SHORTY!"

'Uh-oh..'

But Ry still laughed and Gracie did her best to suppress her's.

Hitsugaya, who gained a dark shadow over his eyes, reached up and grabbed Hiyori by her collar.

"YOU'RE SHORTER THAN ME!"

That got Ella and Gracie laughing again.

"Wha? Who do you think you are, brat? You trying to pick a fight? If that's what you want, just come out and say so!"

"You're the one was was picking a fight! I apologized, but that wasn't enough for you!" Hitsugaya argued back.

Lisa, tired of their childish antics, kicked off and sped away from the two.

When Hiyori noticed, "Oh! Wait up Lisa!"

Swinging her blade down on Harribel's, she was blocked. Very much resembling the way Hitsugaya and Harribel fought, Lisa and the latter attacked in just the same way. That is, until, Lisa released her sword.

"Crush, Haguro Tonbo."

"Chop, Cubikiri Orochi," Hiyori joined in.

Hitsugaya joined in on the attack, but they only managed to get in one combined hit before Aizen came over.

"Ai...zen."

The aforementioned then slashed Harribel across the stomach.

'What?' Gracie yelled in her head.
Sure, Harribel may be her enemy, but she couldn't imagine anyone being killed off like that.

"Wha?" Harribel struggled to get out.

"I'm done with you."

'Heartless bastard.'

"It appears you're not strong enough to fight for me. I never thought that will all the trouble I went through gathering you espadas, that I alone would be more powerful than the lot of you."

"Aizen!" With one last burst of power and anger; Harribel stabbed Aizen through the chest.

He didn't even flinch, "what a pain."

The illusion of Aizen cracked and he appeared behind Harribel and stabbed her where a heart ought to be.
"I will never let you raise your sword to me again."
With that he flung Harribel off the end of his sword.

Of the people who watched that scene unfold, their faces were a mix of utter shock and well, WTF looks.

"Come on, lets get started. Gotei 13 and.. you shoddy arrancar wannabes."

It's verrrrry late and bleh, I know that this must have been insufferably boring. /:

I can say, though, the next chapter isn't going to continue the fighting; it's going to be just Gracie and.. well you'll see.
The next fight scene wont come until the final battle but, considering how long it took to get this out and that school starts next week for me, it will definitely take a while to come out.

But this, nor any of my other stories, will be going on hiatus.
