~attack group~

"Why are we waiting?" Zaraki was anxious to fight, but Yakamoto-Taichou was telling him to stay back. "We're the attack group. So why aren't we attacking?"

"Because we don't know how powerful our enemy is." Tamaki had sent a few scouts to spy on their opponents and report back which Espada were there. Two shinigami ran up to him. "What did you find?"

"There were four Espada that we could see. They have a strange looking person with them. The person matches the description of the manifested form of the Soukyoku." Tamaki nodded at the answer.

"So they're all there, and this just became a rescue mission. This should be boring." Kenpachi remembered how weak the new Espadas had been and wasn't looking forward to the short fight they were going to have. "Let's get this over with."

The two Taichous left to engage their enemy. Breaking through into the clearing as a bright flash went off. The Espada looked confused when the light faded, but quickly went on the defensive when they noticed the shinigami attacking.

"Let's see what you can do." Kenpachi swung at Chat, who blocked his sword easily. "Looks like I found an opponent."

"Great. I needed a scratching post." Chat wasn't pleased with his opponent choice, but he accepted it.

"Yachiru, I'm going to have some fun. Go find your own." A pinked haired girl jumped off his back. And ran toward a group of Hollows. "Let's enjoy this fight!" He swung at Chat again causing him to fly back a few feet. Zaraki followed after the Espada.

"Any of you is probably stronger than Bee." Ikkaku was hoping to find a better opponent than the last Espada he faced. "Show me who that is."

Hawk decided he would face the bald man. "Any one would be stronger than that weakling. He would never be serious with anyone. So he could never win in a fight." Hawk attacked Ikkaku while he was speaking catching the shinigami off guard and forcing them both away from the clearing.

"You shinigami don't understand how weak you are." Souri launched herself at Tamaki.

Tamaki block her attack but was forced back by her attack. "Squad 8, take care of the Hollows. Leave the Espada to the higher ranked officers." He ran off to draw Souri away from his squad. He smiled to see the Espada following him.

"Looks like you're all that's left." Yamichika turned toward the only Espada left.

Shank lazily looked at the strangely dressed man. "I don't fight weirdos. Get lost."

Yamichika glared at the Espada. "I am not a weirdo. I am a beauty."

Yachiru heard what the Espada said to Yamachika and flash stepped onto the Espada's shoulder. "Don't call Chi-chan a weirdo!" She kicked Shank.

Shank didn't have time to react to Yachiru's speed. Her foot connected with his face causing him to fly through a few trees before being imbedded in a boulder.

Yamichika stared at what the little pink haired Fukutaichou had accomplished. 'No wonder she's the Fukutaichou. I wouldn't want to try and take the position from her, ever. No matter how small she is.'

Yachiru walked towards Shank. Her Reiatsu flared and her zanpakutou drawn. Her presence felt like Zaraki, but compressed and denser. Her presence felt like Unahana's. "No one makes fun of Chi-chan, but me." She had killing intent in her voice.

"I did not expect that." Shank pulled himself out of the rock he was in. "Looks like I'm going to have to get serious." He pulled out his sword. "Bake them alive, Hor-"

"Shut up already." Yachiru sheathed her blade while walking away from Shank. He fell into a pile of unrecognizable flesh before it vanished.

'Yep definitely never challenging her.' Yamichika didn't even see Yachiru go near the Espada. He only saw her begin to walk towards the Espada then walk away. 'Just how fast is she?'

"So how did it go here?" Ikkaku walked up behind Yamichika, who tensed at the sudden voice behind him.

"Fine...just fine." Ikkaku stared at his friend. Yamichika had a bit of sweat on his brow. "How did your fight go?"

Ikkaku thought his friend seemed frightened. He looked around to see what could have scared him, but all he found was some weak Hollows and Yachiru playing with them. "Short lived. He mumbled something then shot off somewhere. He wasn't that strong, but he wasn't going serious. That-"

"So they planned to leave and never fight. Just my luck." Kenpachi didn't look happy as he rejoined the group in the clearing. "Where's the new guy?"

Everyone looked for Yakamoto-Taichou. They thought he would have returned. "Maybe he got lost?" Ikkaku offered it as a solution.

"I doubt it. He seemed to know his way around quite well." Zaraki was wondering what could be taking him so to get back from.

"That because I used to live around here." Tamaki walked out from tall bushed with out a scratch on him.

"Was she that weak?" Kenpachi commented on the Taichou's appearance.

"No she just left once we were far enough away. I tried to catch her, but she seemed to know this area better some how." Tamaki looked disappointed As he thought back to his encounter with the Espada.

~flashback~

Tamaki stopped by a large tree and waited for his opponent.

"She isn't going to show up." A grey haired Espada stepped out of the shadows. "Aizen-sama thanks you for your work."

Tamaki smiled Mist. "Anything for my Taichou."

~flashback end~

Yakamoto quickly snapped himself out of his thoughts. "I wonder how the other teams are fairing?" His silence had earned him glances by members of 11th squad.

~Clearing with Kyoraku~

"Kyoraku-Soutaichou. Report from the protection team. All civilians have been safely moved far away from the surrounding areas." Renji knelt behind Kyoraku to give his report.

"That's good to hear." Kyoraku could tell someone else had appeared to give their report. He turned to find Kuchiki-Fukutaichou kneeling beside Abarai-Fukutaichou. "Report."

"The Hollows are contained and are being dealt with." Rukia had been reluctant to leave her Taichou, but he reminded her that he was no longer sick. Or at least that's what it seemed like. Hitsugaya-Taichou had also shown up to help, so Rukia wasn't too worried.

"Kyoraku-Soutaichou. The Espada located in the centre of the mass of Hollows left the battle shortly after encountering the attack team. Only one of the four was killed." Yamichika was chosen to give the report since he had not helped to get rid of the Espada in his group.

"So there are two that have evaded your radar." Kyoraku looked at the red haired man laying on the ground. He was swimming in his own blood, literally. He was missing all his limbs and had his eyes plucked out. They had stopped Rini from completely torturing the man to death in order to get some answers from him, but this was the first thing he had said anything to them since his loss against the red headed girl.

"Can I kill him now?" Rini asked sitting far away from her prey. It looked like she had been crying a bit.

"I think you should explain to your brother who this man is first." Kyoraku directed Renji to head towards his sister.

"So both of Yuki's children survived." Renji's eyes widened at the man's mention of his mother's name. "I thought one of you had died since I couldn't find either one with her, but it looks like I was wrong again. To think I would be defeated by the generation that could have given me power to bring back our family." He began to laugh.

"Can we kill him?" Renji asked the Soutaichou in all honesty. Rini smiled at his response to the man's taunts.

"He won't give us anymore information. I'm sure Kurotsuchi-Taichou can take any necessary information straight from his brain. Just don't torture him too much." He left the laughing man to the siblings. His laughs were cut short and no sound came from him after that. "Now that, that is done. Let's look for those other two he was talking about. We have five Espadas running around. Let's turn that into zero." He was about to leave when another messenger appeared. "Nanao!" He ran towards his exhausted wife.

Nanao knelt infront of Kyoraku, who was kneeling in front of her, trying to catch her breath. "An intruder penetrated the defences. *gasp* They left shortly after encountering Urahara-san. *gasp* She was trying to steal the ritual book, *gulp* but she failed to do so." Nanao almost fainted and Kyoraku used a healing kido to help her recover from her long journey.

"Thank you Nanao. Just rest now." He held her in his arms as she continued to slow her breathing back to normal. He picked her up and turned back to the group he was with. "I'm returning to see what the damages are. Abarai-san, you will come with me. Bring that head with you and give it to Kurotsuchi-Taichou."

Rini nodded at her orders and flash stepped beside Kyoraku. Both headed off as fast as they could Back to Seireiti.

~Los Noches~

"How did the plan go?" Aizen was reclining on a chair while his Espada knelt in front of him.

"Shank was killed during the decoy, Blood recovered her human heart, and now possess Hollow powers, Chike Itachi was killed by Abarai Rini, and Mist failed to obtain the book." Moth listed off the goals that were set to accomplish. The mission was a failure, in his mind.

Mist knew she would die for her failure. She was surprised when Aizen laughed at the report. "Perfect." Aizen smiled at the outcome.

Mist looked at Aizen. 'How? We failed in our objective. Have I miscalculated what I thought his plan to be.'

Aizen saw the confusion on his subordinate's faces. "Time to begin the next phase. If things go as planned, then the Soul King's Realm will be mine and SeireiteI will cease to exist." Aizen pulled a small glowing ball out of his pocket. "If only they realized how powerful a weapon this actually was." He laughed with glee.


I know it's short. I tried to add more, but this chapter just ended here. Please give feedback.
