The girl did not move nor make a sound as the Captain called out to her. The expressionless eyes did not even flinch. It was as if he was calling out to a dead person. The Lieutenant-turned-pawn stood idle, simply waiting for her Master's orders, for it was only to his voice that she would respond.

Captain Kyouraku glanced between the fourth's Lieutenant and Aizen. Something had happened. It was as if the young girl was gone, leaving just an empty shell. There would be no help from her. He wanted to ask Aizen what he had done to her, but knew it would have been pointless. Even if he had answered, it would just waste time, and that was one thing that the two officers didn't have. Shunsui lifted Ukitake's Lieutenant up, putting him on one shoulder, while wrapping an arm under Tsurabisu's waist. He stood, shifting his burdens slightly before turning back to his enemy. "I don't care what it takes, but you will pay."

Aizen watched Kyoraku with an unwavering and unblinking stare. His eyes reflecting the coldness that lay beneath the surface. Kyoraku yelled after Hikari once he checked the bodies and Aizen put hand on his new pawn's shoulder. The girl acted the perfect soldier not moving an inch when called and waiting for him to give her orders. The eighth captain decided on taking the two wounded shinigami to the medical division and Aizen smiled at him turning around and using his hand to guide Hikari to do the same. As he began walking off again Kyoraku called after him. Letting out a cold laugh Aizen glanced back over his shoulder as he walked away. "Don't talk tough Kyoraku it doesn't suit you. It only serves to make your weakness that much more apparent. Next time I see you will be your last. So enjoy." With that said Aizen faced forward again and flash stepped out of sight with his prize.

The Lieutenant of squad eight nodded as her Captain gave her an order. Without a moment's hesitation, Nanao used her Flash Step and set off to inform the Captain-Commander of what had happened. Her mind swirled with thoughts, but she did her best to concentrate on her task. Soon, she reached the first squad's barracks and was outside the Commander's door. "Head Captain!" The Lieutenant slid the door open and entered the room.
"Hmm?" Genryuusai Yamamoto glanced up from the papers in front of him, wondering just who would dare to barge in his office. He was about to reprimand Lieutenant Ise, but the words died on his lips as he saw the state of panic she appeared to be in. "Lieutenant, speak. What is the meaning of this?"
"Head Captain..." The Lieutenant was out of breath, gasping as she spoke the words. "The Academy class was...attacked in the world of the...living, Sir. There are casualties. One of the...Students....Aizen! He said that Sousuke Aizen had attacked them!"
At the sound of that name, the Commander's eyes opened wide. "Impossible! The traitor is bound in his prison. You must be mistaken." But by the look on the Lieutenant's face, there was more to it than that.
"I saw the bodies, myself, Head Captain. Captain Ukitake and Captain Kyouraku have both left to investigate and Captain Unohana is tending to the injured. My Captain ordered me to inform you immediately. They need help!"
The thought of the Traitor being free seemed ludicrous, but that was a chance the Commander could not take. A glance down at his missing left arm was enough to remind him of the turmoil that the man had caused in the past. The ancient Captain summoned a swarm of Hell Butterflies and dispatched them to every Captain and Lieutenant with a summery of what he had heard from the second in command of the eighth squad. "We must investigate this immediately." Not waiting for the Lieutenant, the Commander set off with all the speed he could to the Senkaimon. If Aizen was free, he couldn't let Jushiro and Shunsui face him alone. They stood little chance.

Frustration and anger welled up in the Captain. Every fiber of his being wanted to chase down Aizen and cut him down, but he knew that there was nothing he could do. Besides, he needed to get the two officers back to the Soul Society. With one last glance at his fallen friend, the Captain of squad eight turned an entered the Senkaimon. As soon as the gates opened and he was back in the Seireitei, he used his Flash Step to bring the two fallen officers to where he had left Unohana.
((Sorry. Not much of a post, but at least it's something))

The Captain Commander arrived as Shunsui entered through the . Senkaimon, carrying the unconscious bodies of the two Officers. Chaos spread through the courtyard as students ran from the gate back to the Academy or their homes. Any place where they felt they could be protected and safe. In the center of the chaos, the ancient Captain caught sight of Unohana, as well as the bodies of two of the students. The Head Captain felt a pain in his chest, like an icy claw wrapping around his heart. How could a simple training mission go so wrong? "Shunsui, what is the meaning of this? And where is Jushiro?" The Captain looked down at the bodies of the students. No more than children, really. To be cut down like this... Yamamoto sadly shook his head.
"Y...Yama-jii..." The Captain's voice broke slightly as he tried to speak. "Ukitake... He's dead. I..." Words failed him. He could barely believe it himself. You're a Captain, now start acting like it! You can grieve later. Now is not the time... "Aisen... I don't know how, but he's free. And he's not alone. Kaname Tousen and Gin Ichimaru were there as well as the Zanpakuto, Muramasa." The Captain knelt down and lay the two Officers on the ground so Unohana could tend to them. "These two did everything they could to protect the students, even drawing their blades against someone they knew there was no chance of beating..."

Sensing Aizen's reiatsu had been easy enough and following it was nearly child's play. Lowering his own output till it was nigh non existent Damian arrived on the scene after it was all over. Not wearing the traditional Espada outfit would mean he wasn't immediately discovered. Especially with his hollow signs hidden. Ambivalent to the sight of a dead Captain he looked for a trace of where Aizen had went. If he was going to kill the man it was best to know his plans. The sight of the dead Captain gave him an idea. "I'll find you." The sight of a senkaimon letting in shinigami to retrieve the body of Ukitake caused the Espada to back up. Disappearing back into a forest beyond someone behind him plunged a pointed object into his back only for the after image to fall away. Reappearing a few feet away with barely a scratch a black butterfly like tattoo was left behind. Staring at the woman responsible it wasn't hard to deduce who she was.
Soifon stared coldly at the man before using shunpo to land the killing blow, only to be met with the man's blade blocking her zanpakuto. She had been sent with her men to make sure hollow in the area were wiped out. Retrieving the body of Ukitake was something she added upon arrival. Then this obvious hollow was around. Clearly he had an agenda of some kind.
"Easy Shinigami I did not come here to start trouble. Aizen is a danger to Hueco Mundo just as much as Soul Society. While I don't deny that we don't have a lot in common and we obviously dislike each other. Maybe we can help each other."
A quizzical expression was seen on the woman's face just long enough for her to snake her leg up and into the man's chest kicking him back. "What makes you think we need the help of a hollow?"
Damian was surprised by the speed and skill by which the woman kicked him back. While he knew what division she belonged to he would be lying if he said he thought he had the advantage speed wise. Damian was fast even by espada standards. Currently he himself held the self proclaimed title of speed demon. This woman though was perhaps his equal in terms of speed and skill using agility. Though Damian was sure he was still just a tiny bit faster. It was still troublesome. Rubbing his chest as he considered her words Damian narrowed his eyes. "Because clearly you shinigami did so well of ridding the world of him the first time right? We can fight each other till we are both bloody and then he has an easier time of swooping in and wiping us out, or we can unite kill the evil b*****d and then go back to our usual warring selves."
Soifon scoffed at his offer finding it beneath her to even consider. "If memory serves aren't you supposed to be his willing servant? Wasn't he your god? Your leader? You hollow sure as hell helped him plenty the first time.Why should we believe you had a sudden change of heart?" Eyes focused on the man in front of her Soifon gave no sign of what she planned to do next.
Damian sighed at her words finding them distasteful and the whole prospect of working with shinigami left a bad taste in his mouth. "Clearly you forget that Aizen betrayed us just as much as he did you when he cut Tia Harribel down. Besides he was never my god. I have no god. As far as hollows go. I am king. Even if I have forsaken the title of primera I am the king. There is none stronger currently in all of Hueco Mundo. Besides if I recall correctly this isn't exactly your call to make. Shouldn't we be going to see your commander? I am sure we can come to some arrangement." Ayame would not be pleased. Sheathing his blade he held his hands down at his sides passively though still ready to defend himself.
Soifon glared back at him and his words. The Commander would want to hear this. Bringing in an armed ex-primera espada that was as strong as he claimed without insurance wouldn't be happening. Disappearing she made several quick movements that the man either couldn't stop or didn't try to stop. Several black butterfly tattoos painted themselves all over his body. It would be easy for her to execute him if necessary and given his rather thick hierro there was barely any visible damage. All it took was a scratch thankfully. "I will bring you before the Sotaicho, but understand that all it takes is a second strike in any one of those markings and you will be dead in moments."
Damian internally winced as the captain made several scratches to his person that he could have defended. There was no need. He needed to see the Commander to discuss some kind of temporary alliance. He was confident enough in his abilities to escape if the time came. Especially when the woman explained his situation. Poison huh? It was good that given his abilities he was immune. "Understood shinigami." Following behind her silently as she moved towards the senkaimon they stopped only for several of her men to flank him. As if they were anything more than insects to him. Letting the ninjas bind him in bakudo that he could probably easily break if chosen he remained still. It was good they took precautions.
Soifon ordered her men to surround the espada as well as grab the body of Ukitake, before reentering the senkaimon and heading straight for the Commander's office. When they arrived Soifon stepped forward. "Sotaicho, this hollow..." The way she said the word made clear her distaste. "...claimed he was seeking an audience with you to make some kind of arrangement concerning Aizen. As you can see I have taken what precautions I could on such short notice. Still it is your decision on the final matter." Letting the espada step forward she motioned to Ukitake's body to show she had gotten him.
Damian took a step forward taking in the sight of the old man and blinking once. "I have not come to start trouble. Aizen is just as much our enemy as he is yours. He uses us in a way not unlike he has used you in the past. I myself have bore witness to his ferocious battle prowess. He seems to have gotten even stronger though I not thought it possible. It has become clear to me that taking him on alone for either side is suicide. I am the king of Hueco Mundo I guess you could say. In the past the shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki sought fit to save some of the members of our race. We may have our differences and while I can not guarantee complete cooperation from my entire race, just like I doubt you can. An alliance is still beneficial." Falling silent Damian waited patiently to hear back from the man. He knew the proposal was risky. Already in his mind he was planning a potential escape. He could only hope Ichigo had changed them enough in the past to make such a thing not impossible.
(That post turned out a LOT longer than expected. o.o Clearly the current storyline in Bleach inspired this more than anything. Plus I needed something for Damian to do lol.)

The Captain-Commander felt like someone had put a Zanpakuto through his stomach. Jushiro was dead? Impossible! How could such a thing be? The information had barely begun to sink in when the Captain of the second squad appeared with several members of the Stealth Force and a man in custody. After hearing Soifon and Damian, it was all the Head Captain could do to respond. For the first time in his life, he truly felt the weight of his years. If he was thinking clearly, he would have ordered the man immediately imprisoned, but with everything that had happened in just the last few moments, he was not thinking clearly. "I've heard of you, Leader of the Espada... We have grave matters to discuss. Take him to my office...I." Yamamoto's voice cracked. "I will speak with him momentarily." Genryuusai glanced back at Shunsui and steeled himself for what was to come. Now was not the time to mourn. Now was the time for action. There were many things he did not understand, and questioning Soifon and the Espada would answer many, as it would with the two officers who were unconscious on the ground. "Captain Unohana, tend to the injured and then report to my office." With that, the Captain-Commander turned and headed back to his office to Question the Primera.
A groan escaped Tsurabisu as he began to move. The sudden arrival of Damian's spiritual pressure was just enough to wake him. Pain racked his body as he tried to sit up, causing him to nearly black out again. In his confused haze, his hand went to his Zanpakuto, his mind screaming "Get up! Fight!" The will was there, but his body was unable to follow through. His hand fell to his side as he lay back on the ground and he was out once again.

Damian stood appearing indifferent to the decisions that needed to be made. The Commander stood there and after a few moments agreed to an audience for them to discuss things having Soifon bring the man to his office. After hearing that Damian gave a nod considering Shunsui out of the corner of his eyes. It was hard for Damian to not know of the man, he had killed the previous Primera without even releasing Bankai after all. Information like that had a habit of getting around. And while Damian liked to think him leagues more capable than Starrk, he found himself not wanting to fight the man. Granted part of him wanted to fight him just to truly test himself. The Commander would be good for that as well though. "Okay..." After speaking he waited for Soifon to start moving.
Soifon stood still considering the Commander and not quite able to believe her ears as the old man agreed to hear the Espada out. It was clear he wasn't taking the death of Ukitake well. For Soifon it only shook her up a little that a Captain had been killed, she held no personal connection and therefore it didn't matter who had died. Therefore she gave the man a briefly questioning look before taking Damian to the office without a single word. Even if she didn't agree with her orders, they were still orders. Even if the man should have been cut down immediately. Upon arrival she shoved him inside none to gently then stood in silence.
Damian held his tongue as he was pushed forward and said nothing remaining standing in silence. Waiting patiently he considered the Commander as the man arrived and voiced a single question. "Since we seem to be able to speak, do you mind?" Gesturing to the multiple bakudo it would certainly have been more comfortable for him to be free. Personally though he had no preference currently. He just wanted to get things out of the way so he could either leave peacefully or fight his way out.

The Captain-Commander entered his office and made his way to the desk. He sat down and took a deep breath. In the short time it took him to reach the office, he had once again mastered himself, showing no outward sign of distress. "You show great bravery coming here, King of Hueco Mundo. Bravery, or desperation. Which, I cannot say. It is clear to me now that Aizen has managed to escape. Soifon, I want a full report in one hour. In the mean time, release this man so we may speak." It had occurred to Yamamoto that it could be a trap. That Damian was here to make an attempt on his life, but he doubted it. If Aizen was running free, he wouldn't need to try such underhanded tactics.
"I had heard that Kurosaki had spared many of your kind, though we haven't seen the likes of you in fifty years. A decision I would not have supported, as you would have opposed had you been in my place. However, what is done is done. Here you are, requesting to form an alliance. I do not take such a request likely. Such a thing has never been done in history. Our two races cannot live together, as Hollow must be destroyed in order for the cycle of Life to continue. However..." The Commander fell silent for a moment. After the events of today, I cannot deny your request outright. As you may know, Ichigo Kurosaki lost his powers after the fight to imprison Aizen. We can no longer rely on his help. I will call a Captain's meeting. You may make your request in front of my Captains. Then we may decide our course of action. In the mean time, we have much to do. You may stay here while you wait, or you may explore the Seireitai.

Soifon listened silently to the Commander nodding at his request for a full report and standing still for a few moments as Damian was ordered to be released. Hesitating momentarily as if contemplating whether she would carry out an order, something she had never done before, Soifon released the bindings on the man with one swift and precise slash of the wakizashi on her back. With that the woman left without a word, off to compose her report and continue her scouting in the human world.
Damian considered the Captain Commander, silently grateful as his bindings were freed and the ninja woman left leaving the two men alone in the room. The commander using the title King of Hueco Mundo he found fitting. "I would prefer bravery shinigami commander, but I do not deny there being a hint of desperation. It is likely much the same with you." Clasping his hands behind his back the man looked around the room glancing about with no clear purpose. He could have just as easily been planning an escape route than simply admiring the room. He made no attempts to clarify which it was.
Listening completely and quietly as the Commander spoke it seemed his request was to be heard by the Captains. It wasn't hard to see which way the ninja woman would go, and part of him expected the other captains to answer much the same way. Granted they were missing a few. The other captain he knew being Kenpachi was someone he was unsure about. He may just agree to it for a chance at another battle. As he was offered the chance to explore Seireitei he chose to finally respond. "Kurosaki did spare a good chunk of our kind, though Aizen and you shinigami did not. And no worries I bear no grudges over the lost allies. They chose their own paths. I would have made the same decision in your place."
Pausing to consider his next words carefully he continued. "While our two races are not meant to coincide, I believe truly that if we don't look to unconventional methods, Aizen will cause us both to be extinct. He has grown more powerful if that were possible. He even has another zanpakuto, though again I don't know how. I fought against him and the other former captains, but I was caught by surprise and defeated rather soundly. As I am sure you can tell, I am not weak. I dare say that if I were to fight you, a winner would not be clear, but alas I digress. I am old, older than I want to admit and I would prefer to continue living for awhile to come. So I will make the request in front of the other captains and let them decide. I just ask that I be allowed to leave peacefully if the request is denied."
Pausing again he sighed rubbing his stiff neck. "And I do think I might do a little exploring in silence. I will be sure to not make my presence obvious so as to not cause unrest amongst your subordinates. When the meeting is arranged I will return. I am sure I will have some people watching me after all who can inform me." He doubted seriously just from what he had witnessed that the woman would let him walk around without a armed escort around him at all times. Even if he couldn't see them.

As soon as the Espada left, The Captain Commander sent out a swarm of Hell Butterflies to carry a message to the remaining Captains.
All Captains are to report to my office in one hour. There are to be no exceptions.
Once the message was out and everyone had left his office, the Head Captain allowed himself to slump in his chair. He could not remember the last time he had felt his many years weighing down upon him. He had never in his life felt so old. So helpless. It was not like him, and he knew it. There was a reason for Aizen to have let Shunsui leave alive. Not only had the traitor dealt a heavy physical plow to the Soul Society, but a devastatingly emotional one as well.
Alone in his office, Yamamoto Genryuusai grieved for his lost son.
Captain Zaraki stood in the eleveth's squad's dojo, holding a bokken in each hand. Around him lay half a dozen unconscious squad members. "Yer all pathetic as s**t! Somebody hit me!" With that, he turned to the next group in the dojo. "How'd a bunch of weaklings like you get into my squad? Apparently I've been too soft until now. Training's gonna be a hell of a lot harder from here on out. Ya got that?! Now, C'mon!" With that, the Captain through himself into opponents, slashing wildly, daring any of them to try for an opening. One by one, they fell to the floor, unable to deal with the ferocity of his attacks. Soon, the Captain was the only one standing. "Useless..." Before he could turn to the next group, a black butterfly glided in through the open window. "Eh?" He listened to the message, cursing to himself. "A meeting? What a waste of time..." He turned to leave the building only to be stopped by a small, pink haired figure who clung to his back.
"What's up Kenny? Where we going?"
"We're not going anywhere, Yachiru. Yer gonna stay here and whip them into shape!" As he spoke, he threw the two wooden swords toward his fallen squad members. At the sound of the Captain's orders, the remaining members fell back a few steps, obviously not pleased to hear that the Lieutenant was going to be in charge.
"Awww... Okay..." For a moment, the pink haired girl seemed depressed, but it passed as quickly as it had come. "Alright you losers! Get up! Kenny says I gotta whip you into shape!" The delight in the little girl's voice nearly drove those who were left to run out the dojo. The only thing stopping them was the knowledge of what she could do if they ran.
Satisfied that everything was taken care of, Kenpachi left the Dojo, headed toward the first squad.

Byakuya was seated doing paperwork with masterful penmanship when suddenly a hell butterfly floated in his window. Emotionless gaze turning to the thing he remained silent as the butterfly delivered it's message. After it was finished and the captain dismissed it he stood up and without a sound left the office for the first division. What had changed since the arrival of the obvious hollow reiatsu arrived was unknown. Clearly an invasion wasn't happening. Something had happened though. It seemed no more would be learned before arriving for the meeting.
Soifon received the hell butterfly with a glare already having an idea of what it was coming to her for. After the message was delivered a cold gaze was turned to her subordinates who left to carrying out her silent orders. It was all a big mistake, but still she left for the first division.
Damian silently and secretly monitored the shinigami as best he could as he pretended to sight see. He wasn't sure what to think just yet. Hopefully they all saw the potential in his proposed alliance, but he was completely prepared for them to close their minds and deny it. If they did he would carry out his one time plan to attack Soul Society and take out as many shinigami as he could before going down himself. As long as the old man stayed out of the battle he was confident he could easily take two shinigami captains with him. Hopefully it didn't come to that.
Yuu stirred as some time had passed and opened his eyes letting light flood into them and causing him to squint. "What happened where am I?" It all seemed like a distant nightmare and Yuu was just fine believing that. After all he had no idea where he currently was. He was still to out of it for that. "Ukitake-taicho I need to check on him." Getting up with slightly blurred vision he made a movement to actually enter shunpo before he became too dizzy and had to stop. "It was all a nightmare right?" He hoped beyond hope it was.

The fourth squad captain wasted no time in the news, rushing out to the scene and began tending to the students that she could save. She came across the body of Ukitake and only allowed herself a small frown. Of course she was upset but, she needed to keep her composure. "Please, Hanatarou, tend to these ones. You, over there, if they are stabilized and can be moved, please do so immediately!" So much death and destruction... She wasted no time in calling on Minazuki. She found to her dismay that she had to pick and choose this time who to treat. There were just too many.
Another thing bothered the captain. Where was her lieutenant? Where was Hikari? She didn't see Misuzu among the injured so that was a good thing. But, problem was, she didn't see her anywhere. However, she came across the other two seated officers that had been assigned to the mission. She ordered the treatment for both of them but since one was unconscious and the other seemed dazed, she didn't mention anything further upsetting. She approached Yuu. "Are you all right? Please let me have a look at you." Minazuki was treating more critically injured shinigami, but that didn't mean that she couldn't use her healing kido. Unohana noticed that Yuu looked dazed and upset, but she refrained from speaking anything about his captain for the moment in an attempt to find some semblance of control for such an out of control situation.
((Ugh... I had such a hard time with this. Sorry, I tried. I'll keep on trying too. I just gotta get back into the swing of things! ))
