~Karakura high school~

"Time for fun." Ayame swallowed a soul candy. Everyone copied her actions. Soon they were all in shinigami uniforms.

"Ayame-chan?" Rini was surprised to see her friend's hair in a ponytail. "I thought you said you weren't going to wear it like that ever again?" It was her Yukaza hair style.

"A few things changed. I found my reason to be brave. Have you?" Ayame drew her zanpakutou and readied for battle.

Rini was the only one who didn't have a weapon. "Well this is awkward." Not noticing Yorichi behind her.

"Then why don't we show them we're still dangerous?" Kido crackled along the tall woman's skin causing her orange sweater to be torn apart. "You still remember how to use Shunko right?" Rini copied her adoptive mother's actions.

No one moved for what felt like ages. When the Hollows started to move, only one voice was heard. "Rise from the breaking earth, Jiwamaru!" A crater appeared around the group and the Hollows were temporarily stopped while they regained their balance. The Espada had launched themselves at the group and avoided the earth quake, but they missed seeing the air shield that had formed. "Fly away!" Yuzu yelled launching the wall of air once they were close enough.

"Nice one Yuzu." Ichigo appeared beside his sister. "Let's go!" He shouted while grabbing Yuzu's body and retreating out side the circle of Hollows. He was glad to see the others had followed his lead. "You guys go back to Urahara's shop. We'll take it from here." Everyone's body that had a mod soul in it ran back to the shop and waited for them to come back.

"Plan of attack?" Hitsugaya asked Kyoraku.

"Those with Bankai, focus on the Espada. Everyone else, don't let the Hollows leave the school ground." Kyoraku looked toward the line of Espada. None of them seemed familiar, but he felt a few familiar presences.

~Espada side~

One by one each Espada chose their target. "Can I have the one with the large breasts? She looks like fun." An Espada with what looked like cat ears on his head looked at Matsumoto with a sinister grin.

"You can fight whoever you want Chat. Just don't go after the one I want. And I want the guy with the 69 on his face." Said the Espada just left of Chat. He had four horn like spikes on his head.

"Let's just get this over with." Hawk walked forward. He was aiming for Shinji.

A tall female with blond hair stopped him. "Don't just blindly rush into things."

"I'm not like Jaeger." He pointed to another Espada that had lime green hair and a full mask that looked anxious for a fight. "So you don't have to worry about me Souri."

She looked at the other Espadas around her. "You know your orders retrieve the girl at all costs. Once she is in our possession, retreat." She received a few nods an even more eye rolls. "Go!" She shouted while turning around and heading straight for Kyoraku.

She forced him back by at least ten feet. "I thought you would have been more powerful than this." She pushed him back another five feet.

"I am, but if I release my full power here, that would not be a good thing." Nanao appeared beside him with her zanpakutou drawn. "Just keep an eye open. Don't attack until we know their power." He whispered to his Fukutaichou.

"Don't worry. I'll follow your lead." Nanao could tell this was going to be a hard battle.

~following Chat~

"Hello prrrrretty lady." Chat purred into Matsumoto's ear before throwing her toward another part of the school grounds.

"Hey!" Toshiro attacked the Espada.

Chat extended his nails to block the Taichou's attack. "Is she yours?" Chat asked hoping it would mean he got another opponent.

"She's my Fukutaichou. So yes she is my responsibility." Toshiro heard two more sword connect behind him. He also felt some one back into him.

"Sorry Toshiro. This ones a pain." She grunted as an Espada with pail blue hair pushed harder against her zanpakutou.

"Chat you already have a target. Get lost." The blue haired Espada did not look pleased with his comrad.

"Why do you get two, Shank" Chat didn't notice another Espada coming up until he was right beside him. "Snake? What are-"

The Espada called snake grabbed Chat by the neck and threw him in the direction of Matsumoto. "I just though, since ya wanted to fight two. Why dontcha fight me?" Snake had a full mask that looked more like a fox than a snake.

"Why would I do that?" Chat couldn't believe snake was actually going to betray Aizen-sama. His eyes widened as snake pull his mask off of his face. 'His mask was a fake.'

"Because, I don't like people who pick on Ran-chan." Ichimaru said while looking at the Espada through closed eyes.

"Gin?!" Rangiku had watched the silver haired Espada as he pulled the cat-like Espada away from Hitsugaya. She never would have thought it was Ichimaru Gin. She thought he had died back when they first fought against Aizen and he had tried to stop the traitorous Taichou, but had only gotten himself killed. Now she watched as the man that she had loved looked at her with his normal closed eye smile.

"Hello, Ran-chan." Ichimaru flash stepped to where she stood. She threw her arms around him while rambling on like she normally did.

"You're alive. How? What happened to you? Why are you with the Espadas? Why are you helping Aizen? Why-" Matsumoto didn't want to ask a lot of questions, but knew she would.

"I'll tell you once we take care of this guy." Gin pulled away from Matsumoto while using his mask to block Chats attack. "Now then. Where were we?" Gin just smiled at the Espada.

~following Shank~

"Not bad. For a weak woman." Shank didn't enjoy fighting woman, but this one stepped in when he approached the red haired girl.

"I'll show you weak! Rage in the fires of hell, Hiwamaru!" She slashed her zanpakutou forward sending a slash of fire and molten rock at the Espada.

"Pathetic. Fire can not defeat water." He pointed his hand toward the blast coming at him. A wave of water came out of his hand extinguishing the fire. "You see? You stand no chance against me." He suddenly felt the air get colder, or was it just less warm?

"Then why don't I join? Reign over the frozen heaven, Hyorinmaru!" Hitsugaya joined Karin in fighting against the Espada.

"You look to be in a pinch there Shank." An Espada with what looked like a beehive on his head showed up with another that had a hood pulled over her face. "Want some help?"

"Not a chance Bee. You and Ghost can find someone else. These two are mine." Shank did not enjoy others fighting with him.

"We'll take you on. Right Yumichika?" Madarame had been looking for someone to fight. Seeing the two Espada made him happier than a kid in a candy store.

"This is gonna beeeeee fun! You can have the weird looking girl Ghost." Bee couldn't wait to see just how much of a wimp his opponent was.

"But Bee, that's a man." Ghost pointed out looking at the shocked Yamichika, but Bee was already charging at Ikkaku. "Sorry about his comment. He doesn't care much for other people's feelings."

Yamichika could tell the voice coming from the small Espada was a girl. "Well. You can't expect a muscle head to understand a lady's feelings."

"How did you?" Ghost was speechless and flustered by the shinigami's comment.

"Lucky guess." Yamichika winked at the little Espada. He them felt the presence of another beside him. "Ukitake-Taichou? What brings you here?" You looked at the 13th squad Taichou as he turned around to face the Espada.

"Shiro-ji!" The Espada yelled in surprise. She pulled her hood down to reveal light green hair and what looked like a motorcycle helmet with a black hole on one of her eyes.

"Ah. I thought I sensed you, Lilynette. Where's Stark?" Jushiro was hoping to know whether or not the previous 1st Espada was with her. He wanted to know if the other presence he felt was indeed one of their allies.

"Right here Ukitake-san." Stark changed from the two guns on Lilynette's hips to his Espada form. "We were waiting till we knew what Aizen was after, and now we know."

Lilynette transformed into a pair of guns in Starks hands. "Let's show these brats who's the better sequence. Time to call in the gang." Stark pointed one gun into the air and fired off a single shot.

"You called, Stark?" Tier leaned on the brown haired man's shoulder moments after he fired the shot.

"Yeah. It's time to show the new generation, they should respect their elders." As he spoke, Neil and Grimmjow came walking towards them with a smiling Ikkaku.

~Jaeger~

"So which one is strongest around here?" His eyes instantly fell onto a young blond girl. He didn't know why, but his instincts to detect some one strong was never off. He launched himself at the girl.

"Don't even think about it." Ichigo stepped between the Espada and his sister. Holding his blades between himself and Jaeger.

"Hahaha! Just my luck. You both will make fine opponents." Jaeger was to absorbed in his joy to notice a tall Taichou step behind him.

Kenpachi slashed Jaeger in half length wise. He fell into two halves. "Tch. Weakling." Zaraki walked off to find a more worthy foe.

"You OK Yuzu? Did you-" Ichigo stopped when he saw a woman holding Yuzu by her hair. "Let her go, or else."

"I don't think you can make any demands." She lifted Yuzu so that she was hanging by her hair.

"Kya! Let go!" Yuzu felt weak. She didn't want to. She had hoped that she had become strong enough that she could avoid being used against people she cared about. She hated feeling weak. 'Why can't I be strong?'

'You are strong' her zanpakutou said in his deep voice. 'I am the dragon of the earth and the sky! I am as strong as the ground that is around me and as harsh as the wind that surrounds me! You and I are one! What I am, you are as well.' Yuzu started to understand what Jiwamaru was saying. 'Just because we are weak at times, does not mean we are always weak.' Yuzu smiled at how helpful her zanpakutou was.

"Let go of me." There was no fear in Yuzu's voice. You could even hear a hint of malice in it.

"What did you say twerp? Don't think this Onee-san won't do terrible things to you just because your small and helpless." The Espada grip the small blonds hair tightened as she lifted her further of the ground.

"Your choice." Yuzu spiked her Reiatsu as high as it would go. The Espada was to shocked at the change in power that she didn't move. She just stared as Yuzu's Reiatsu continued to climb. "Bankai." Yuzu's Reiatsu made it hard for anyone to see what happened to the Espada due to its density, but when Yuzu's Reiatsu dropped back to it's normal level, all that was left of the Espada was a hole in the ground that matched her silhouette. Yuzu headed off toward one of the shinigami groups that were having trouble keeping the Hollows in the school ground. Not paying attention to her stunned brother.

~Hisagi~

"Play with me would ya?" An Espada with corn rows and four horns on his head grabbed Hisagi by the neck and dragged him backwards.

"Hisagi!" Ayame yelled but stayed beside Rini.

"Don't worry about me Ame-chan. I have Onii-Ren to protect me, if needed." Renji liked having his twin back. Rini wanted Ayame to be happy. She knew that was when she around Hisagi. "Go protect your reason to be brave."

With the OK from her friend she headed off after Hisagi and the Espada.

"Get off him." Ayame backhanded the Espada while he was still moving forward. She also put an arm behind Hisagi to stop him from flying backwards any farther. "Touch him again, and I might have to rip a horn out." Ayame sounded cheerful but deadly. She glared as the Espada picked himself up off the ground.

"Is that the Yukaza daughter coming out?" She had told Hisagi about her father and why she didn't ever wear her hair in a ponytail when he commented about it. They almost got into a fight over it.

"I always was a daddy's girl." Ayame smiled. She remembered how happy the days were when her father would take her with him to meetings. She would play with everyone in the training room, learning how to punch, tackle, and take down an opponent. The last time she had gone they had let her shoot a hand gun. She had been a natural and could easily handle one in each hand. Her father smiled and laughed as she told him about her day. She loved her life with her father, and her Yukaza family.

"So. You think you're strong enough to take on me? Diablo, the master of justice!" He struck a pose and pictured fireworks going off around him.

"You say 'the master of justice', but your name is devil. Are you crazy?" Ayame and Hisagi were confused by the horned Espada.

"Yes. Now pay for your crimes." He started towards the two but stop with his hand just about to touch Hisagi's chest. He felt excruciating pain coming from his skull.

"I told you. Touch him again and I would take out a horn." Ayame dropped a blood covered horn onto the ground behind the Espada.

Diablo couldn't believe what had just happened. He didn't even see her move. He turned around to try and attack her only to find her gone again, as another wave of pain passed through him. This time he saw and felt the blood run down his face. 'She pulled out my front horn?' He turned his head to see the pink haired shinigami dropping another horn on the ground.

"You going to stop? Or shall we keep going till I have to start pull teeth and finger nails?" The cheerfulness was gone from Ayame's voice. All that could be heard was the sound of some one who wasn't afraid to inflict pain on a stronger opponent. She smiled at the Espada like she was playing with a new toy.

"Justice can not be stopped. I will prevail-" he was cut off by a lack of air.

"Not the right answer." Ayame sheathed her sword as Diablo fell to pieces behind her.

"Remind me never to get on your bad side." Hisagi wrapped his arms around Ayame. The pink haired girl just nodded and smiled up at him as she pulled her hair out from its ponytail.

~Hawk~

"This is a nice reunion. Don't you think?" Hawk stepped in front of Shinji.

"Don't you have something better to do?" Hirako really didn't want to deal with the Espada. "Judging by the Reiatsus that have disappeared, I'd say you guys are losing. Badly."

"Depends on what we're trying to do. If it's to kill you all, then yes we are. But if it's to distract you, I'd say we have already won." Hawk smiled. Hirako turned and walked away from the Espada. "Aren't you going to stop me?" Hawk didn't know what to think of Hirako.

"You said it yourself. Your mission is to distract." He slashed the air in front of him. He felt a resistance in the air. "And you aren't that great of one." The real body of the Espada collapsed in front of the Taichou.

Hawk didn't know how he was found out. 'I'm sorry, Aizen-sama. I failed you.' Hawk waited for Shinji to finish him off.

"Now then. Why don't you tell me about the little riddle you left me with last time?" Shinji was taking a gamble, but he knew Urahara would love to get his hands on this intel. Which meant Shinji could put Urahara in his debt. Shinji smiled at his plan.

Hawk was confused. Was what he had said really that hard for the Taichous to understand. "It meant that we are going to give Abarai-san a chance at revenge against the Gotei 13. You took her away from her brother and sacrificed her so you guys wouldn't lose face. She has only hatred for shinigamis!"

"Really? Cause what I see is someone who only wished to help the shinigami defeat Aizen." Shinji pointed towards Rini. She was fighting beside Renji and Rukia. "So since you are useless." He deliberately used the same word Aizen had. "You can disappear now." Hirako ended the Espada's life before the he even saw his blade move.

"Couldn't have said it better myself." Came a voice from behind Shinji that he recognized all to well. It was too late for him to move. The moment he did he fell to ground. "Don't worry, Taichou. You're not useless, yet." Aizen walked off toward Rini's group.

Rini, Renji, and Rukia where all back to back. Renji was already in Shikai and getting ready to up his power. "Let's finish this." He got ready to go to Bankai form.

"Couldn't have said it better my self." Aizen had gotten in the middle of the circle they had formed behind themselves.

Renji was just barely able to block Aizen's attack. Rini prepared a kido to fire off and Rukia began to release her zanpakutou.

"Dance, Sode no-" She was interrupted by the sound of her zanpakutou hitting the ground. She looked down to see her unreleased zanpakutou on the ground, her hand up to her wrist still holding it. "What?" She was to surprised to notice the attack, until Aizen's blade was buried in her chest. Rukia fell to the ground, just barely clinging to life.

"Rukia-chan!" Rini had barely seen what had happened. She gathered her Reiatsu in her hands. "Hado number 31: Shakkaho" She let it gather in her hands till the red orb was the size of a beach ball. She went to fire it at Azien, but Renji interfered and caused her shot to fire off into the air. "WHAT THE HELL RENJI!"

"Don't just kill her. The Taichous will want to interrogate her." Renji was glad he had stopped Rini in time. Otherwise he would have to explain to the Taichous why the traitor among them was unable to give them intel on Aizen.

"Renji what are you talking about? Aizen is standing right there." Rini was trying to understand what her brother was saying.

"So he got his zanpakutou back." He turned back towards Aizen. "So you're still working for Aizen, Hinamori?" He couldn't believe his friend, who was betrayed and almost killed by Aizen, was still fighting for him. "There will be no excuses this time around. Bankai!"

"You won't defeat me Abarai-Fukutaichou. Either you will stop your sister, or your sister will kill me." Rini heard Aizen's voice while Renji heard Hinamori's voice. "It's your choice."

'What is going on?' Rini didn't know what Renji meant when he said Aizen had gotten his zanpakutou back. 'Maybe that's why we see two different people? But then, which one of us is being tricked?'

Aizen! Stop using Momo as your scape goat. Or, is Momo actually helping her former Taichou? Where is Momo, or Aizen? My head hurts. Can you guess which one sees the truth? Hint: Treat It like Aizen is using his zanpakutou's ability for the first time. Please leave a comment.
