The leader of the squad heading to the north gate already has them working the gate up. They're much more efficient than the other force, it seems. The woman is leading them in a much more hands-on way than Aikou did with his own force, and she's got them in divisions and squads, or rather, more like troops and units. As the gate rises, she smiles, closing her eyes and lowering her head. She mumbles what seems like a prayer..though it was hard to hear through all the noise.
The gate is rising quickly here; as Aikou said, there was a mission to be done.

Waiting on the other side of the gate is the relief force sent by Seireitei. Or, more specifically, Miyoko and Chiyo, hands on the hilts of their respective Zanpakuto. The two women were more than prepared for the invading force, with no doubt in their mind that they could repel the army. Glancing back over their shoulders at the students who had accompanied them, the women drew their blades at once, the resounding ripple of reiatsu blowing out the opening gate, no likely pushing back at least some of the invading forces. Miyoko, with her strangely shaped blade, and Chiyo, with her tanto turned nodachi, stood prepared.

Haruko wavered when she had first seen the gate. She was honestly scared, and didn't know if she would survive. There were two captains there, but with the mass of troops on the outside, Haruko was quickly loosing faith that the captains would be able to protect everybody. She figured that perhaps hawk-chan might be able to help, so she decided to call out to him. Hawk-chan! I think I need help....
I am sorry, young one, but you are not yet ready for my powers. They would simply tear your body apart... I help you the best that I can, though, so do not fear, young one.
Haruko was about to reply, when another voice rang out. Besides the obvious different in pitch (due to the opposite genders of the two), the voice was rough and pwerful, and lacked the kindness of the bird's voice. It did, however, seem to be lacking the usual loathing growl. Shut up you whiny b***h! You won't die here today, I'll see to that! This body would be useless to me if you went and died, anyways.
It was wierdly calming to have both hawk-chan and... well, the other thing inside of her helping her. Her resolve renewed, she drew her zanpakto's hilt from her sash, the heavy metal bracelets on her arms dissolving instantly, swirling around her gently before reforming as her zanpakto's blade. She was not going to die today, and if she would she'd atleast take a few traitorous bastards along with her.

Karite followed the others constantly shifting his eyes. Something about this place did not seem to help his feeling that something was going to go wrong. Today would be the worst time for it to happen but it was not impossible. He spoke to his Zanpaktou letting it know it needed her, but instead of Konpaku he received Hashi and his evil words. "look here boy, you will fight and shall not die, for If you do I will make sure your death is a painful one. Now get your head back in the game and show these captains you are worthy of being a shingami."
Karite was not so satisfied with Hashi's words but he was right and he could not do much but fight like he always did. To win. So now should not have been different.

The enemy at the gates as it were. The woman lifts her hand, holding up what looks almost like a crystal ball, and the other hand manipulates her blade, and she holds it out and away from her body to the side while the enemy goes pouring forth. From above her body rises a woman, wearing very little, and possessed of two glowing wings. A pale blue aura in a column forms about the woman's body, while the apparition floats above her.
"Protecting your city? How LONG are you going to keep up this act? If you don't die here, I'll see you in the world of darkness!"
Confident that their leader can protect them, the insurgents surge forward, as well as several stronger units that were designated for moving within this group.

"Tch. This is our city. Of course we're going to protect it," Miyoko and Chiyo touched blades, before wading into the fray, flash of steel cutting down the commoners. The students had to gain their own strength, and they knew that the wave of insurgents could halt the students. Better to take out the masses before focusing on the singular targets.
Small motes of light drifted upward from in the back, behind the teachers, filling the air with their light. One sword raised upward, the other pointing downward, her head inclined, the voice that spoke was a bare whisper.
"Irihi kakou... tenso kumokasumi... Getsurei joushou... gesshokou hatsu..." the ends of the blades began to swell with light, before they struck together, and spanned outward, reiatsu bursting outward.
"Higurei.. teisei!"
Holding her two swords, which equated to a pair of executioners scimitar, she offered up a smile, as she lifted her head.
"Watashi wa Hana, Ran. Hajimemashite..." her body slid backward, into a fighting stance then, as she beckoned with one hand, toward what she assumed was the commander.

Saigo, a young woman, stands behind the commander of this north gate army. Her pale green eyes carefully scan those within. Unlike the rank and file, she wears a red gi with a ring of turquoise beads around her waist. She also holds a kunai, her zanpakutou, tightly in her right hand. There are tremors in her right hand. Unlike the other shinigami of Jigoku, she has no lust for battle. She's only fought to defend herself so far; though, one might not be able to tell from how well kept her face and hair are. She has her mist-blue hair tied in a tight ponytail. Other than her weapon, her only outstanding features would be her long legs, hidden under the red gi she wears.
As the powers of zanpakutou are called out, she nervously reaches her left hand up to scratch behind her ear. Her eyes shake as she feels that old scar. "What is he thinking?" She looks towards the west, where Aikou should be. She can sense it. Things have already started. "The only reason I'm even here is my one, outstanding attribute... My speed." She looks at the woman, the commander of this gate's battle. With silent words, she states the obvious. "Aikou-sama's already started... He's clashing with a power I can't even distinguish from his..." Saigo was the rare case who had better reiatsu sense than control.

The woman commander tilts her head and chuckles. She raises the crystal ball upward, and inside of it spins a rainbow of colors. Something like that..it's definitely unique, but it's not a sword at all. So obviously it's not a weapon. She looks upward at Ran, and smirks.
"You've grown! It's amazing to see how much power you've gained after being away for a while. I kept an eye on you for a little while, but you went somewhere beyond the reach of my sight. I was disappointed. It's not important."
She muses for a moment..and twirls her blade..before shoving it behind her rapidly, and driving it right into Saigo's midsection without even blinking. She doesn't think the woman will move, even with her speed; it had been totally out of the blue..and all she says is..
"I know. But it's not important. I apologize. It is necessary if you want to live. You don't belong with these people."
She lets the illusion drop after that; appearing as not her, but himself. Keiji..the student that had vanished some time ago. The blade in his hands had gone from a normal katana to what looks like a black khopesh with gold inlay and intricate designs. The crystal ball is raised then..and then..dropped..down on the ground..where it cracks.

Saigo's eyes go wide as she feels steel penetrate flesh, and she quickly falls to her knees before faceplanting. She'd been so distracted by Aikou's battle that she hadn't even noticed. Besides, the commander... Her speed... Face pale, she realizes she's looking at a...he! now. She coughs, blood splashing onto the ground from wound and mouth. "Survive?!" She coughs again, and that taste of iron is definitely lingering in her mouth. "He might have nicked a lung..." She supposes it could be worse. He hadn't aimed to kill, but she's surprised by how much damage he could do with one swing. As she fights not to go into shock, she can only grasp at the wound and try to put enough pressure to stop the bleeding. "She... He was always a lot stronger than me..."
With ragged breath, Saigo tries to let some questions escape her mind. "Who...are you...? Why betray...Aikou...sama? He's...danger...ous..." She was more afraid of Aikou than respectful, and it showed. She was more concerned with his wrath than his feelings.

"I am Mousetsu Keiji. I am one who defies the traditions in order to bring about a better time. I used Aikou and his shadowy commander. Mind you, their commander is quite aware. What the Leader is not aware of though, is what I am about to do."
He picks up the girl then, and throws her into the gate as best he can with his minimal strength.
"Tend to that woman! She's not like the rest, and is an innocent at heart. I apologize for what I am about to do..to all of you..my colleagues and you who wish only for a better time.."
that said, Keiji changes his body's appearance..and reiatsu signature..to that of a hollow; it's near impossible to tell the difference. He's still himself, he just looks and feels different. The ball shatters..and a distortion begins; a black distortion..and from it, many lesser hollows stream out, washing over the army. He's opened a small gate to Hueco Mundo..with that thing he dropped. he shatters the pillars holding the gate open, causing it to close. he's unconcerned; as long as he himself is in this form, the hollows won't attack him. He's set up a reverse trump..and cut off any chances of the enemy winning, in one fell swoop.

Karite at first didn not unsheathed his zanpaktou. He removed the sleeve on the right arm of his Gi and took a defensive stance ready for anyone who tried to attack. He looked around eying the battle field carefully. "I hope Kaosu doesn't die, me and him have lots of unfinished business to attended too."
Karite let the thought die and looked for someone important, there was one man he wanted to kill, one man who got away from him a long time ago and left a presence with him. He wanted to return the favor. He just hoped that man was in the crowd.

Ren gulped and looked around, aside from the times where he'd seen Nii fight hollows, he'd never actually been in an actual combat area. "I can't back down, I can't back down." he said mostly to himself, but there was the air that he was nervous. "I'll just play the helper until they tell me where I need to be." he said resting his hand on his zanpakto nervously. 'Nii-san, please help me.' he said to himself.

The gates were closed and the hollows were set on the city. Still, it seems like all that's coming out are lesser ones; the gate isn't big enough to let huge or bigger ones out at all. That's always a good sign, mind. Still, there's a pause. Keiji, in his hollow-illusion form watches the gate, blinking. He swears he hears a voice..which is unusual. Hollows usually just howl or when they do talk, they say very little. The voice is soft..though he can't make out the words.
He can't help but blink as a large concentration of the weaker hollows are blown away by what resembles a Cero coming out of the gate..and right after that..something walks out, rather than rushing. It's..a spirit. A soul. The figure is wearing a green hakama and kimono, and has short blonde hair. There is a brief moment where a pair of glittering butterfly wings can be seen in the sihlouette of the figure..and the soul says softly..
"Goodbye, my friends.."
And the gate slams shut, leaving the soul to fall forward..and say quietly before passing into unconsciousness..
"My princess..I'm home.."
