Chapter 1: Prologue

Karakura Town:

Ichgo Kurosaki was walking home after Kisuke finished explaining who those people were that attacked Chad and Orihime. He learned that they're arrancar, hollows that gained shinigami powers by the hand of Aizen. Then he was warned that if Aizen gains 10 vasto lorde, he could destroy the Soul Society. Right now, Ichigo was thinking about learned.

"Hollows, Espada, and Aizen; dammit that's a lot of problems all rolled into one but, that guy with the green eyes just stopped my attack like it was nothing and my friends could've died." He thought.

"I need to get stronger so that doesn't happen again." He said.

He then saw a happy couple talking and having fun. It made his heart sink because he wished he had a girlfriend in his life but, he knew he would never have time in a romantic relationship. Being a substitute shinigami had its drawbacks.

Hueco Mundo:

In Las Noches hours after the return of Ulquiorra and Yammy, we find four arrancar walking down a long hallway heading too Aizen's throne room. These four arrancar are none-other then Tia Halibel and her fraccion Mila Rose, Apacci, and Sun-sun. They made their way too Aizen's throne room to ask a favor of Aizen. Nearing closer and closer to the door Halibel kept thinking to herself.

"I only wish to see how strong the shinigami are nothing else but, why do I also want to meet this Ichigo Kurosaki? Is it his strength, his bravery, or something else?" Halibel thought.

Halibel and her fraccion reached the door and knocked.

"Enter!" Came Aizen's smooth reply.

Halibel enters with fraccion in toe.

"Halibel, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked in his usual smooth tone.

"Aizen-sama" Halibel spoke.

"I wish to travel to Karakura Town for me and my fraccion."She finished.

"I see, and why do you request to go too Karakura Town?" He asked.

"T-to see how strong the shinigami there are." She replied.

"Very well, you may go but, take this hollow bait and see how strong they are." Aizen finished giving her the hollow bait before leaving through a gargantua.
