Noches Espada has arrived in Magnolia. For whatever reason, they have come to take Orihime. Most members of the guild are up against Noches Espada's soldiers. While at the same time, few are fighting against the higher-ups, including Master Aizen.
"Night Spirit's Lunar Reap!" Ichigo unleashed the crescents and blasted some of the soldiers. Ichigo was going to keep fighting, but he stopped when he felt something was off. "Whoa, what's this feeling?" He was distracted and that allowed the soldiers to attack. He would have been in trouble if he wasn't saved by Laxus.
"Get the lead out." Laxus said.
"Sorry, but I got this bad feeling all of a sudden and I think it has something to do about Orihime." Ichigo said.
"She's safe. You don't believe me, go see for yourself. I left her in a room in Kardia Cathedral." Laxus said.
"Thanks." Ichigo said as he went to check it out. He figured Orihime was safe but, he just felt something was wrong.
"Fifth Spirit"

Uryu and Chad
Uryu and Chad were fighting against a member named Gin, but it didn't seem like any of their attacks were even working against him. He was able to avoid everything the both of them threw at them.
"This guy is tough." Uryu said.
"Nothing is working against him." Chad said.
"You two are putting up a fight. Too bad it's not enough." Gin said. He held out his hands and shot out rays of light and Uryu and Chad could feel their flesh being ripped up as both of them dropped to their knees.
"What kind of magic was that?" Chad said.
"I'm not really sure." Uryu said.
"We're busy people so if you won't hand over the girl, I'll just kill you." Gin said.
"I don't think so. Sphere Trapper!" Ash flew around Gin and he ended up trapped inside. Both of the boys turned their heads and saw Rangiku came running to their side.
"Rangiku?!" Uryu said.
"I thought you two could use some help." Rangiku said. They all heard some strange noise and saw Gin slashed his way out of the sphere. "That spell is suppose to trap people in it and anyone who touches it gets cut up. How did he get out?"
"I see you're just as beautiful as ever." Gin said. Rangiku got a good look at him and was surprised.
"Gin?!" Rangiku said.
"You know him?" Chad said.
"Yes. We use to be old friends when we were children." Rangiku said. "I never would have thought you become part of a dark guild, let alone Noches Espada from what I've heard about it. Don't tell me you're one of those Eight Hollow Swords I've heard about."
"I'm afraid not. I'm actually one of Lord Aizen's generals." Gin said.
"General?! We were informed Noches Espada has two generals. You're one of them?" Uryu said.
"That's right and you're about to see why." Gin said.

Kaname
Kaname was fighting off against Rukia, Renji, and Nagato. His Sound Magic is powerful and he is able to avoid everything that they threw at him. Renji was thrown into a wall by Kaname. Nagato came charging with a flame fist, but Kaname blocked it with his sword.
"You're all too noisy. It's disturbing the peace." Kaname said.
"If you're talking about peace and all that, why the hell are you fighting against us?" Nagato said.
"I can only see the path with the least amount of blood spilled." Kaname said. "You people are in that path that I must clear."
"What does that mean?" Nagato said. He tried to get a good look, but he saw through his glasses and figured it out. Kaname gave Nagato a palm strike and he was thrown into the wall.
"Nagato, are you alright?" Rukia said.
"Yeah and I think I figure it out." Nagato said. "He's blind. He must be using his Sound Magic to hear our thoughts."
"I didn't know Sound Magic could be used like that." Rukia said.
"That is true." Kaname said. "My eyes only allow me to see the path with the least amount of blood and that path has brought me to Lord Aizen. If you wish to continue this fight, so be it. My apologies, but I must also do what I can."
"Is that so?" Kaname heard a new voice and saw Grimmjow was standing there. "Then can you hear what I'm thinking?"
"You think you can defeat me? So be it, arrogant fool." Kaname said. "You have failed us before and failure equals punishment."
…
Aizen
Aizen continued his fight against Fairy Tail's best team. Gray tried swords made from ice, but Aizen had those blades shattered and unleashed a blast of magic to push him back.
"Fire Dragon's Talon!" Natsu came down with a foot covered in fire, but Aizen disappeared like he was a mirage.
"A good tactic." Aizen said as he was on Natsu's side. "Sneak attacks, decoys, and more. You'll need all of that to even stand on the same level as me. Then again, I have no equal." He held out his hand and Natsu heard an engine. He saw a magi-cycle and a mechanical arm came out and grabbed him with him already becoming motion sick until the cycle crashed into a building. "It interests me that someone as powerful as a dragon slayer can be so easily overcome by something so simple."
"Open, Gate of the Lion!" Lucy called out, but Aizen's hand shined and stopped the gate from opening. "He can even stop a celestial gate from opening?!"
"Flight Armor!" Erza changed into leopard skin breast armor with ears, purple arm bands, and leg armor with a green cloth around it. She took out two swords and had incredible speed, but Aizen was still able to avoid all of her attacks. Aizen held his fingers under her exposed stomach and blasted her with Bullet Magic and had her crash into a wall. "Unreal. He has an entire arsenal of magic and he knows how to counter each one of us."
"That's right. I've been weary of Fairy Tail for a long time." Aizen said. "I knew that if anyone would interfere with my plans, it would be you. So I studied every member so I would know how to counter each one of you. That information was shared with my two generals, who are here with me, and the Eight Hollow Swords."
"How could you have studied every member?" Gray said.
"It's simple. A member shared all your secrets with me." Aizen said.
"What nonsense. Not a single member of Fairy Tail would never sell out the guild." Erza said.
"How naïve." Aizen said as he held up a finger. "I didn't bring all the Eight Hollow Swords, but one member is here now and he's the one who gave me all the information I needed to hear. He's been with you all along and you never even knew." A spy in Fairy Tail? How could they let this happen?
…
Orihime
Orihime was all alone with Ulquiorra in the room with in Kardia Cathedral. Everyone else was fighting and she wanted to go help, but Ulquiorra was keeping her where they were. However, he was acting strange.
"You should be scared. Noches Espada will stop at nothing to obtain you. Make it easy and surrender." Ulquiorra said.
"What?" Orihime said.
"As powerful as Fairy Tail might be, you do not stand a chance against Noches Espada or Lord Aizen." Ulquiorra said. "All information about all members of Fairy Tail have been delivered to him and he knows how to counter each one of you."
"Lord Aizen? Ulquiorra, how could you say all that?" Orihime said. "We don't have time to be fooling around. We need to go and help our friends."
"You mean your friends and you won't be doing that." Ulquiorra said.
"Ulquiorra, why are you talking like this?" Orihime asked. Ulquiorra decided to show him. He reached for his zipper and pulled down to show a black and green Fairy Tail emblem on his left pectoral major. However, it dispersed into tiny balls of light. They all reassembled and formed into Noches Espada's emblem instead. The truth comes out and a horrible one it is.
"You're really one of them?!" Orihime said.
"Correct." Ulquiorra said. "My real alliance was with Lord Aizen and Noches Espada for I am a member of the Eight Hollow Swords. I infiltrated Fairy Tail years ago. Under Lord Aizen's orders, I've been relaying information to him. I was there longer than I would have liked to, but I stayed. Every time a new member joined such as yourself or Grimmjow, I had to follow my orders and delivered all information I could to him."
"So that's how he knew where to find me." Orihime said. "So, if you were after me, why did you wait until now? If you were really working for them, why didn't you kidnap me when you had the chance?"
"Lord Aizen had other matters to attend to, which is also why he asked for Grimmjow's help and to measure Fairy Tail's strength." Ulquiorra said. "Now that we have everything ready, all we need now is you."
"For what?" Orihime said.
"You are not obliged to know that information just yet." Ulquiorra said. Orihime looked down to the floor and he could see that it was from sadness. "What's the matter?"
"How could you do this?" Orihime said, but Ulquiorra didn't understand. "How could you betray us?"
"Weren't you listening? I was never truly one of you. All I did was hide my mark and I easily moved into your guild." Ulquiorra said.
"Even if it was all just a lie, you should have been affected by Fairy Tail's beliefs." Orihime said. "We tried to be your friends and now I see it was all a lie. How could you? Didn't you grow any feelings towards anyone in the guild?"
"Not even the slightest." Ulquiorra said like he didn't even have to think about it. "I kept my distance from everyone. I didn't come to make friends. Lord Aizen knew I was the best for the job because I followed my orders without question or hesitation and I wouldn't give into temptation on killing another. Nor would I give into these emotions members of your guild are fond of. I could calculate the power of each member and analyze all of them more proficiently than the rest of the Eight Hollow Swords. In summary, I have no regrets for turning against Fairy Tail. None of you have the power to stand against us."
"That's what others said, but Fairy Tail has triumphed over them." Orihime said.
"Perhaps, but the difference is that we know what we're truly up against." Ulquiorra said. "Enough of this conversation. Lord Aizen says my job in this guild is done and that I am free to take you. You are coming with us." Orihime was scared for she had no way of fighting back. Ulquiorra wasn't even unleashing any magic power to intimidate her. She could just look into his cold and emotionless eyes. Orihime was about to give in until the wall burst behind Ulquiorra.
"Looks like I made it just in time." Orihime was filled with hope again.
"Ichigo!" Orihime said as Ichigo walked into the room.
"I thought I felt your presence." Ulquiorra said.
"Orihime, are you alright?" Ichigo asked.
"Mhm." Orihime hummed with a nodded head. Ichigo's eyes turned to Ulquiorra and angry doesn't begin to cover how he feels right now.
"I heard everything before I came in. I knew there was something I didn't like about you. So you were really an agent working for that Aizen guy all along, Ulquiorra." Ichigo said.
"That's right. I suppose you're here to fight me now." Ulquiorra said. "My power easily surpasses yours and I've seen your power while you haven't even seen mine. You don't stand a chance against me."
"At this moment, I don't care." Ichigo said. "I've been wanting to go against you for a long time and this gives me the best excuse for that. You might be part of our S-Class, but that is a lie so I don't see what I have to worry about that."
"Then allow me to show you." Ulquiorra said as he held out his arm and held two fingers out. Ichigo could feel magic power was building up.
'I finally get to see his magic.' Ichigo thought. 'I'll give him this. It was smart that he didn't show anyone his magic so we wouldn't know how to beat him. That doesn't mean I can't beat him." Ichigo waited and saw a green light was starting to emerge from Ulquiorra's fingers and Ichigo could feel the power and he knew this magic too well. "No way! You're one too!"
"Lightning Spirit's…." Ulquiorra's mystery power is revealed, the fifth spirit slayer.
…
Ichigo: Ulquiorra, the most mysterious member of Fairy Tail never shown his power to anyone. Yet, he was able to become S-Class. He never opened up to anyone and we all little to nothing about him. Now that the truth has been revealed, he can't be allowed to get away with what he has done.
Next Time: Green Lightning
Ichigo: A new flash of power shines out of the shadows.
