Forgotten Memories

Senna watched from a distance, hiding behind a some rocks while suppressing her reiatsu to avoid detection.

Kuso. She thought to herself as she witnessed Suikotsu and the arrancar disappear in a flash. Now we're in trouble. His reckless use of a Cero has gotten him the unwanted attention I was afraid of. Not only that, but the ability to use Cero would have been useful in a fight against the arrancar as a surprise attack. Revealing that ability to the arrancar this early on means he has already lost one of his main advantages.

Hearing the sound of shifting coming from behind her, she turned around to see Autumn getting up from where he was hiding. Unlike herself, Senna was unable even tell a difference between Autumn while hiding and the way he normally is. It struck her as strange why this mysterious shinigami was able to seal off his reiatsu to such an extent at all time. There were many questions going through her mind, including ones about herself. Unfortunately she knew that this was not the time to be in a state of inquiring.

"We're already one person short and we haven't even reached Los Noches yet. Despite what he said about being determined to save Rika, he went ahead and got himself captured by Aizen." Senna said out loud in deep thought. "Unfortunately for him and for us, I believe things turned out exactly as Aizen had planned. Using Rika as bait to lure him into Hueco Mundo."

Even though the two of them and the captains have not been noticed yet by Aizen and his arrancar, she couldn't help but have a bad feeling about what was to come. Aizen went through a lot of trouble to lure Suikotsu to Hueco Mundo.

***

"Go to Soul Society...and tell them of this plan..." Urahara said to Senna as the two sat across from each on the floor sipping on a cup of tea. "There is without a doubt that Aizen is planning on sacrifice the town. Soul Society believes that Kurosaki-san's friend Inoue Orihime was kidnapped because her abilities could be used against Soul Society. IN reality, I believe it was to throw Soul Society into a state of militar emergency. Soul Society will most likely want to engage them in an all out war in Hueco Mundo. This may be exactly what Aizen is planning. In the state that the city and Soul Society is set up at the moment, there will be no way of stopping him from doing exactly that."

"What are you thinking, Kisuke." Senna asked, listening attentively.

"The significance of the town around us is the density of spirits that have gathered in the area. Transporting the entire town into Soul Society using a Kido while replacing the one here in the real world with a fake would at the very least delay him from accomplishing this." Urahara continued.

"Kido to transport the town...Are you talking about using jikanteishi and kuukanten'i?" Senna asked as she opened her eyes wide in shock.

"Hmm...So I see you even know of that. Ideally you would have been the perfect person to initiate the spell with the support of the Kido Corps. However, showing that you can use that ability would make it clear that you have been keeping secrets from Soul Society, which will get you in a lot of trouble in the future. If Soul Society agrees to do this, Tsubakishi Tessai will initiate the spell and have the current members of the Kido corps maintain it. Tell them that during this time, Captain Commander Yamamoto and the captains will have to be here to face off against Aizen and his arrancar. The spell will work through the use of four pillars. If they are destroyed or any of the kido corps are killed, the transformation will revert. That is why they need to ensure that the spell is well protected." Urahara said before taking another sip of his tea.

"I'll make sure Soul Society knows of it. They may have branded me a traitor already after having been gone for the past few days. With Aizen's betrayal, Central 46 will take unauthorized passages thorugh Senkai gates very seriously. Going to them directly will be impossible. However...that's where Captain Ukitake will be able to help." Senna replied, confident that she knew what had to be done.


***

Remember what Urahara had said to her about Inoue Orihime's abduction, she considered the circumstances surrounding Rika. Unlike Orihime, she knew that Rika did not have any significant powers that Soul Society would consider dangerous. After having fallen into a fit of depression similar to Senna's lieutenant, Rika was most likely weaker than ever. The only tie that Rika had with anyone significant was Suikotsu and Senna herself.

"I see." Senna said out loud after a long pause, causing Autumn to look towards her. "Suikotsu...you really have fallen into Aizen's trap. With his hollow abilities, there is without a doubt that Aizen most likely has plans for him in the near future. That's why he went through the pain of kidnapping her in hopes of luring Suikotsu into Hueco Mundo. Thanks to his own actions, Suikotsu had just fallen into the palm of Aizen's hands."

Senna did not, however, reveal final detail that she thought of: Rika's ties with her. Senna suspected that Aizen was expecting her to also try and rescue Rika. The two girls had a long history of friendship, as Rika was one of the few female shinigami whose company Senna enjoyed. Despite how she looked, Senna's personality conflicted with her fragile appearance. She enjoyed the brutish company of Ikkaku, Hisagi, Renji, and the others. She enjoyed spending time drinking sake with them at a bar and laughing at their jokes, taking a dislike to quiet reserved female shinigamis. Rika was an exception to all of this, having been friends with Senna for many years. In an awkward way, she represented Senna's feminine side that is normally hidden, as the latter often keeps people at bay.

Did Aizen really plan that I was going to follow Suikotsu in order to rescue Rika? If that is the case...then could be possibly know of my ability? Senna thought to herself as a look of concern appeared on her face.

"It doesn't matter anymore. What's happened has happened. It doesn't change the fact that we still need to rescue Rika, and possibly Suikotsu now, all while making it easier for the captains to strike in a few hours." Senna said out loud as she turned to face her partner. "Autumn, I hope that since you're able hide your reiatsu so well, you are able to use kido."

Senna then hands Autumn the remaining golden cube shaped device in her hand.

"This is a useful little device called Hakyuu. I picked it up while I was at Urahara's place. Its purpose is to allow the extension of nearby kido spells onto you when your reiatsu flows thorugh it. In order for it to work, however, it will require you to use your reiatsu to activate it, and then manipulate it in order to form a cubic barrier around you. That barrier has the special property of absorbing kido spells around it. I said that we needed to get to Los Noches fast and without being ambushed along the way. It seems like with what just happened, that second option has already been thrown out. It doesn't mean, however, that we have the time to walk such a long distance to the castle. If you can control and maintain the barrier for around a minute, it'll be enough for us to get there in a matter of seconds." Senna said with a cunning grin on her face.

Suikotsu has a look of relife at the site of Rika.

Suikotsu "Rika are you okay. did they hurt you.

Rika "Im fine they didn't hurt me."

Suikotsu "I neer wanted to admit it but i feared that the would of hurt or killed you.

Rika "No they needed me to get to you so i was safer here than i would off been in the real world.

suikotsu "im glad you okay."

Rika loks with some relief but gets

Rika "what are you doing here."

Suikotsu "I came here for you why do you think im here."

Rika "you fool you are just doing what Aizen wants."

Suikotsu "that may be true but I am doing what ever it takes to be with you"

Rika blushes a little but then yells back angerly "Even so i don't want you to be traped here."

Suikotsu "Don't worry we wont be here to long."

Rika "so this was a part of some plan"

Suikotsu "not much of a plan but we will be able to leave this place together."

Rika "is there anything i could do to help."

Suikotsu "things will get dangerus I don't want you to get envolved."

Rika "but I..."

Suikotsu "dont worry everthing will be fine just let me handle things."

suikotsu then sences several storng reiatsu confronting one another. He reconized one of them as ichigo Kurosaki but the others he had senced while in real world but never laid his eyes on.

Suikotsu "looks like things started without me. so how long has this been going on. "

Rika "from what senced the fightings been going on for a few hours"

Suikotsu "well it may be easier to get out of here than i though"

Rika "what do you mean"

Suikotsu "With all this fighting going on i can probly manage to escape but if i do that i may be putting you in danger."

Rika "id rather die than see you hurt."

Suikotsu " i will probly be brought before Aizen soon. He will likly have my zanpaktou with him. The moment he alows me to be free will the time for me to strike and try to get you out of here."

Rika "but..."

Suikotsu "don't worry i will handle everything."

Rika "fine just don't do anything reckless."

there is a sound of footsteps aproaching. Suikotsu and Rika both turn and see a figure standing in the doorway but are unable to make out who it is.

Morgawr steps into the room from the shadows.

"Times up Rika please wait outside."

Rika leaves the room. Morgawr goes to leave but turns sharply and punches Suikoutsu in the face throwing him into the wall.

"You are a fool Suikoutsu. Getting caught again this time by your enemy. I thought you would of learned by now. Getting caught will only bring trouble."

Morgawr punches Suikoutsu again.

"Do you even understand what you just did? You make me sick Suikoutsu."

Morgawr throws another punch and this time Suikoutsu starts spitting out blood.

"Now..... I hope you have learned your lesson. You better be ready someone is comeing to get ya soon. Don't pray its a friend just yet."

For an instance Morgawr lets his real reiatsu go.

Damn my true reiatsu is getting hardy to controll. Its this god forsaken place. Well its time for bed anyways.

Morgawr leaves the room and takes Rika back to her room.

"So Rika did you keep my plans a sercert?"

"Yes Morgawr."

"Thank you. Good-bye"

"Bye."

Morgawr goes back to his room and sleeps

Autumn was left with a slight problem. He knew exactly what to do. But he didn't really want to reveal his reiatsu yet. This dilemna left him hesitating for a moment before he reluctantly took the cube. He had used this Hakyuu many times before. But he wanted to shunpo there. He would hardly lose any energy, but he acknowledged that he wasn't alone. She couldn't possibly shunpo there without losing significant amounts of reiatsu. It would be a difficult trip for her. So being the unselfish doormat he was, he allowed her to command and lead the way. He would stay in the background, until battle arose. And then he would have to reveal his strength. The Arrancar's spiritual presence was strong, but he didn't sense any reason to be overly fearful of an encounter. Still, he knew that Senna knew what she was doing, and he would follow along for now. He would show her his tricks later. He looked at her.

She was conflicted, trying to do the right thing, and make sure everything worked perfectly. It was a near impossible task. For a moment Autumn just looked at her, soaking in her features, empathizing with her problems, until he awkwardly realized she was giving him a weird look. He shook off the feeling, there was no time to get personal. Keep it distant, that was the key to his exile. Be alone, and be happy alone.

Man I hate my life.

4%

4% of his reiatsu was perfectly capable of holding up the barrier. And just to be nice, he showed her the Hakyuu extension. He allowed his reiatsu to cover her, creating a barrier for her before she could even use hers. It would allow her to think clearly, and save her strength. She would need everthing she had in the future, this was menial at the moment. He smiled. All on 4%. He was getting good, well, kinda good. He looked off at the castle, as it loomed far ahead. It would be a half a minute trips tops. He could probably make it in about twenty seconds, but she would slow him down. He would let her lead, go on her pace, so that everything worked out good. Autumn looked back at her and casually placed his hands in his pockets.

"Don't worry about yours, I'll be just fine. I'm using the Hakyuu extension. You'll be able to save your reiatsu for the battles ahead. Senna, I'll do everthing I can to stop them, but just realize that I'm probably on the same page as you. I went through the Society as well. So just assume I'm caught up, so we can move faster. We are going to need all the speed we can get. So let's go okay?"

He raised an eyebrow at the question. Two people were now imprisoned. He would have to save lives of people who didn't care for him. Things hadn't changed. Then again, neither had the Shinigami exile........

suikotsu "Morgawr you are a fool if I wanted to escape i would of done it by now but I don't want to put Rika in danger so ill behave for now."

suikotsu moves his left hand up to his face and forms his mask.

suikotsu "i will remain here but I will not be held in these restraints" He focases his reiatsu toward his restraints and forces them to crack and then shatter. He releases his mask not wanting to use to much of his reiatsu when hes not even fighting yet. He then uses that Kido tecnec Senna had taught him to destroy his cell.

suikotsu "they thought they could hold me with somthing this weak. They must be completly ignorant"

An idea comes to him. "what would happen if i combined kido and cero. Maybe i do have another trick up my sleave after all" suikotsu step out of his cell and moves into the hallway that Morgawr and Rika had went and sits down outside the doorway.

"it shouldn't be long unti somone comes to check on me especily after releasing some of my reiatsu. Well the sooner somthing happens the better. Aizen probly has my zanpaktou so theres no use for me to go searching for it. Thinks about Senna and Autumn "you two don't do anything reckless. I gave you a chance to go undetected don't blow it"

Morgawr wakes from his sleep.

Its time. My plan is about to unfold.

Morgawr walks to Rikas cell

"Rika its time. The plan has been set in motion."

"Understood. When do we leave?"

"Right now. I sensed Suikoutsu's reiastu for a second. I believe he has gotten outta his cell and is waiting. He doesn't want you harmed so he will just wait."

"Ok. So where to first?"

"You already know that Rika. Think back to when i first told you of the plan."

"So right out of the gate we go straight "there"?"

"Yes we go straight there. We need to pick something up. You are to deliver it while I continue to wait in the shadows."

"Is that how you always work Morgawr? Always going behind people's backs and if so have you done it to me?"

"No its not how I always work, but I don't know if i went behind yours. We will have too see now won't we." Morgawr Smiles. "Enough chit chat. Lets go. If I want my plan to work we need to get to the iteam soon."

Senna wathed as Autumn was able to instantly master the kido behind Hakyuu. It impressed her that he was able to master it so quickly, but it also confirmed her suspicions that he was far more powerful than he's been leading everybody to believe.

Exactly how muh of his reiatsu is he suppressing? Senna thought to herself as she noticed Autumn examining her, causing her to give her a weird look in response.

"Well there's no point in delaying any further." Senna began, noticing that an uncomfortable look began to show up on his face. "We don't know what's happening with Suikotsu inside that castle. We're going to have to get there as fast as possible. The velocity at which that arrancar was traveling would suggest that they are far enough away from us for us to avoid detection. Since you're able to activate Hakyuu, maintain it for the next minute or so."

Senna then closed her eyes and a stream of energy begins to surround her. Autumn opened his eyes wide, turning his head from side to side to watch as the spirit particles that make up the sand and air begin to glow a bright blue color and stream towards her, forming two large angel wings off her back. Opening her eyes again, Senna's wings spread outwards, covering a distance almost four times her height. Her eyes glow a bright yellow color, in a similar fasion to when she used Heki against Kuchiki Byakuya. She knew that her flare in reiatsu would be easily noticed by Aizen and the arrancar, as it was at a level far higher than even a shinigami Captain. However, it made no difference whether or not they noticed. In a moment, noone in this world will be able to detect them.

"Kai...Senkou!" Senna announced as her two wings descend on Autumn and her, engulfing them in a bright shroud of energy.

A moment later, the shroud shoots up into the air, leaving nothing except a crater in the sand. Upon rising ten feet into the air, the shroud of light halts momentarily before shooting towards Los Noches, causing a high pitched piercing sound as it entered supersonic speeds. Autumn and Senna watched the terrain below them pass by as mere stream of color. Looking ahead, Senna watch as the castle becomes increasingly massive at an alarming rate. Nearing the castle, she realized the colossal size of Los Noches, spanning an area possibly as great as the Sereitei itself.

It's no wonder why it felt like we weren't getting any closer. The time its taking us to reach the castle even with Senkou...We wouldn't have even been able to reach the castle before the captains began their advance, even though it probably would have taken them just as long. Senna thought to herself as she clapped her hands together, causing a jolt in the energy around her as it began to slow down.

Moments later, as the two of them begin to decelerate, Senna swings her right hand outwards, causing the shroud of energy around them to disappear, causing Autumn and her to slowly descend onto the sand a few meters away from the walls of Los Noches. Upon reaching the ground, Senna braced herself for the fatigue that would most likely cause her to fall to the ground.

It never came.

Senna stood staring at the castle walls, partly glad that she felt at full strength even after releasing Senkou, but also concerned as to why this was the case. She had tried using it multiple times in the past, each time with the same result: she would fall to the ground unconscious for a few minutes. Standing there in front of the massive castle, she stuck her hands out and looked at it as she came to the realization that she did not even feel like she had used any energy at all.

Did I just get used it? No, even while fighting Captain Kuchiki, I couldn't maintain consciousness after using Heki. How come I feel like this? Like I've never felt better. What is it about this place...I've felt it ever since entering. I'm sure that Suikotsu and Autumn are stronger because of the density of spirit particles in this world, but not to this extent. To use Senkou without feeling any effects...why? Senna thought to herself in concern as she continued to stare at her hands.

Moments later, she snapped out of her train of thought, looking around for signs that they had been detected but didn't find any. She wasn't surprised that this was the case. A trek that would have taken hours they did in a matter of seconds. The speed of Senkou distorts the pattern of reiatsu detection to the point that the best sensor of reiatsu wouldn't be able to feel anything. Even with the flare in her reiatsu, there was no way any of the arrancars or even Aizen would have been able to see them coming.

Senna took a few steps forward, walking up to the wall of the castle. Standing in front of it, she placed a hand on the wall and closed her eyes. Moving her hands along the surface of the wall, she felt the smooth texture of the spirit particles that make up the wall run along her skin.

Raising her other hand to the wall, a bright swirl of energy begins to form around her arms. Moving her hands around, a stream of energy remains wherever her hands have touched, resulting in the formation of a glowing symbol Kai. Lifting her hands away from the wall one final time, Senna then slams her palms against the simbol she had drawn, causing a glowing square to form. Moments later, a deep roaring sound is heard as the wall begins to swing open, revealing a well lit hallway that seems to span indefinitely ahead of them.

"Noone should know we're here, at least no yet. Lets go while it's clear." Senna said as she takes a few steps forward, entering the castle.

Morgawr stops suddenly as him and Rika are about to reach there destination.

"Morgawr whats wrong?"

Morgawr feeling suddenly weak says "Nothing I am fine. No one should be in there now. Go get the iteam I will wait here."

"Ok"

Rika dissappears through the door. And Morgawr collapses on the floor.

Whats happening to me Jikanhakaisha?

You are feeling the restraints on what your holding back. You have to let it go. Show your true self Morgawr.

You know as well as I do that i can't show it right now. It will spoil everything.

How much longer can you stand to be like this Morgawr. You still have things to do. Now get up that Soul Reaper is comeing back.

Alright. The time is comeing that we get to show our true selfs.

Morgawr begins to stand as Rika comes back through the door with and object in her hands.

"Morgawr what happened? Why where you on the floor?"

"Its nothing Rika. Did you get the iteam?"

"Yes, but what happened?"

"I told you!!! Don't worry about me!! I will be fine. I have been fine ever since I left the Soul Society. The only thing that matters is that we have the iteam. It is very important to my plan."

"At the risk of someones health? I will not stand for it Morgawr!!!!!"

"THEN LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!! I don't need your sympathy. I can take care of myself."

"But Morgawr......"

"I SAID LEAVE!!!!!!"

Rika runs away crying. Morgawr starts laughing.

Not exactly how i wanted to get her to leave, but ohhh well it worked. Suikoutsu get ready she is comeing for you. And with a special iteam for ya. Don't ever say i did nothing for ya. God damn it I am so tired. Well soon i will be able to sleep forever

Morgawr lays down on the floor and goes to sleep, and all he can do is smile.

Suikotsu sits outside the doorway of the room he wasd being held.

"Man this is boring. Aizen wanted me to come to him. Why did he even bother trying to hold me in such weak restraints. I came willingly but i never agreed to be his prisoner."

Yami is walking around the coridores trying to get back to his room.

Yami "why does this place have to be so big. I can never find my way around." He turns around a courner and sees suikotsu sitting outside his cell.

Yami "ah you must be the one Aizen was talking about what do you think your doing outside your cell."

Suikotsu "I never agreed to be your prisoner. I came to see Aizen"

Yami "watch yourself soul reaper now get back in your cell."

Suikotsu "why don't you make me."

Yami begins laughing "what can you do you don't even have your zanpaktou"

Suikotsu "i don't even need it to deal with scum like you"

Yami "you aragent bastard i may not be alowed to kill you but i can beat you."

Suikotsu stands to his feet. "bring it on iv been needing some entertainment"

Yami throughs a punch aiming for suikotsus face. He swings hard and dust flys. When the dust clears he looks down and sees nothing but the cracked floor from where he had striken. "where are you hiding"

suikotsus voice comes from behind Yami "im right here"

Yami quickly turns around only to be hit the moment he faces suikotsu and is sent flying through a near by wall. Yami lays under a pile of debrie.

Suikotsu "you done already"

Yami raises to his feet debrie falling from his as he rises. "damn that hurt. Maybe this will be fun after all."

Yami charges in and prepares to strike. Suikotsu stands there waiting for Yami and the moment yami strikes He raises his arm and stops his attack with his bare hand. He then takes his other arm and grips yami's fist and lifts him into the air. He then slams Yami head first into the ground.

suikotsu you gonna give up or do i have to beat you again.

Yami "I havent even goten started yet."

Suikotsu "good this may be more interesting than i though."

Yami grabs the hilt of his sword and begins pulling it out. Suddenly a voice calls out from behind him.

Stark "Yami what do you think your doing"

Yami "im just teaching this soul reaper a lesson."

Stark "don't be folish even without his zanpaktou he is still more powerful than you and besides he is Aizens guest so by insulting him you are insulting Aizen.

Suikotsu "speaking of Aizen when am i going to see him."

Stark "Aizen is a little busy now but he sent me to move you to your own room. It looks like you already decided to free yourself."

suikotsu"I don't like being held as a prisoner i came willingly so there is no reason to keep me restrained as a prisoner."

Stark "Realy its none of my buisness. Well folow me and ill take you to your room."

suikotsu and stark walk off down the hallway leaving Yami alone still lost trying to find his way back to his room.

She was confused. Maybe that was what worried him. The fact that she didn't understand that he had helped her. It wouldn't matter, he liked to be subtle. He didn't want her to know the truth.

He had used a lot of reiatsu after all.

Upon use, he realized that the technique was a difficult one, and he hadn't been ready for the amount of reiatsu needed to pull off her specific one. His was much easier to do, but hers seemed complex, epic. She could have done it alone, but it would have used a substancial part of her energy to do so. He would take the fall for her in this case. He was needing her to think clearly. Once they got to the people they were saving she would have to convince them to come. They wouldn't allow him to randomly take them. So the first part of the mission was to get to them with Autumn and Senna alive. Autumn could handle himself. Senna might be another matter. He wasn't sure of her strength, although with a technique like that it would be hard to argue that she was weak. Still, it made him nervous to think that he would have to watch someone else's back. He hadn't done it in years.

What if I slip up?

The question haunted him, nearly for a moment as much as his past. Standing in front of the castle however, there wasn't much of a choice. He looked at Senna, and spoke.

"Before we go in, I want you to know that what you guys are doing is incredible. It's nice to know that some souls still have hearts. Keep doing what you're doing Senna, I'll help out where I can along the way."

He smiled at the last words, hoping that that little encouragement would pick her up even more. She was obviously upset about the prisoners, but she didn't have to worry. No matter what the cost, he would get them free, even if it killed him.............He had never cared for his life anyway............................




***




He stepped into the hall. It was a long, well lit hallway, with little in decoration or taste. It was their first stepping stone. They would have to tread lightly, as this would truly be where they tested the waters. He stopped for a moment, as signatures became apparent in his mind. They would be clear for a little while, but he knew there would be battle in the hallway. He looked at Senna.

"Be careful. If you sense anything, I don't care how small, you signal. Understand?"

This command was spoken by a Fukutaicho from a long time ago. It was an order, but he knew that if she refused he could say nothing. But he knew battle, he knew war. He knew how to survive. Maybe she would take his advice into consideration. If she didn't it wouldn't break his heart. He looked back down the hallway but awaited her reply........some last thoughts entered his mind.

Where is Aizen? Where is the lion? We've stepped into the den...........soon we will see the master himself. And can I trust Senna? Can she trust me? These are questions that I'm probably gonna figure out the hard way............

Morgawr wakes up in a daze....

Jikanhakaisha its time to get into a fight. All the pawns to my plan have arrived.

What about Autumn Morgawr? He could very troublesome.

You know as well as I do that we don't care for our lives. We were both exiled from the Soul Society. That day we left everything behind. I don't know whats going through his mind. But my mind is different. So Jikanhakaisha who would you like to fight first?

That noisey Stark would be fun to kill. Why not him?

Haven't you noticed yet? He is with Suikoutsu. That would be a really bad fight to get into at the moment. Lets go say Hi to Senna and Autumn. Maybe one of them will fight me. Its about time we let go of the power. Lets go have some fun Jikanhakaisha.

Fine by me Morgawr but lets go say hi to Suikoutsu and Stark first.

Alright we will deliver the message.

As Stark and Suikoutsu are walking down the hall they come across Morgawr.

"Morgawr what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be sleeping or something you lazy ass?"

"Settal down Stark not here to talk to you. I have only a few words to say to Suikoutsu."

Morgawr walks up to Suikoutsu.

Morgawr whispers "Rika is looking for you. Better find her before they do." Morgawr smiles as he moves past them and walks in the oppisate direction.

Stark Yells "Morgawr where are you going!?!?!?!?!?!"

"To say hi to some old friends. Maybe get into a fight or 2. You know the useally stuff."

Morgawr walks off into the darkness.

Now the fun can really begin.

"Will do." Senna responded.

After having Aizen Sousuke as her captain for years, she knew the extent that someone was able to suppress their reiatsu. While Autumn's ability to suppress his reiatsu to such an extent was unique, she was well aware of a shinigami and hollow's ability to hide their true strength after having Aizen as her captain for years. In a castle filled with Menos as strong Vasto Lordes, there was no room for mistakes. She knew that ignoring even the smallest hint of reiatsu could be their undoing.

Senna and Autumn run through the long well-lit hallway of Los Noches, looking ahead to see nothing except the approach of more arched pillars that join at the top to form vaulted ceilings. After running for a few minutes, Senna pauses when she feels a distant but familiar reiatsu flare.

"Autumn, wait. Did you just feel that?" Senna asked, causing Autumn to nod in agreement. "That felt like...Suikotsu...along with another unfamiliar reiatsu. The second reiatsu felt evil...most likely hollow. Did he manage to escape and engage the arrancar in battle? No, it just stopped all of a sudden. Same with the other reiatsu."

Kuso, Suikotsu. What in the world are you doing? Where are you, Rika? Someone with a weak reiatsu like her will be hard to track in this large of a place. Senna thought to herself.

Finding that it was pointless to stand there at that point, the two continued to traverse the halls of Los Noches, turning in the halls to approach the location where Suikotsu's reiatsu was last felt. Senna knew that in a place this big, a faint reiatsu like that meant that Suikotsu could have been anywhere in the castle. A second set of reiatsu was suddenly felt coming from the other direction, this time, far stronger than Suikotsu and the other arrancar. The two of them kept moving, as it was pointless to stop when battles were raging on from all sides.

This reiatsu... Kurosaki Ichigo. This sinister feeling reiatsu almost as foreign as my own when I use Mitsukai. I've felt it once before when he fought against Suikotsu when he became a hollow. He's decided to release that power. Then there's this other reiatsu. As soon as Ichigo used that power, this second reiatsu skyrocketed to a level far higher than it was before. Judging from the sinister nature of it, this is without a doubt an arrancar...a very strong one at that. The level that this battle has taken...it's as though that substitute shinigami is fighting an Espada. Senna thought to herself as she continued to run.

"First thing we need to do is find Rika. Suikotsu is most likely going to hold back if he believes that fighting will put her life in danger." Senna announced to Autumn.

She knew that once Rika was safe from harm's way, the three of them would be able to help the captain's face off against the arrancar. The two continue running for the next few minutes, ending up in a large empty room with a row of stone pillars on each side. In contrast to the hallways, this room was poorly lit, making it impossible to see all the way to the other side of the corridor.

What is this plac- Senna began to think to herself before getting interrupted by the sudden appearance of a strangely familiar reiatsu in the room.

"This reiatsu..." Senna said outloud as the sound of footsteps began to echo the corridor. "Why are you here...Mogawr?"

Looking ahead she sees the outline of a Shinigami that she knew all too well.

"Is that anyway to greet an old friend purple hair? I am here for a fight. I have been holding my true reiatsu back. It pains me so much. Autumn i don't understand how you haven't gone crazy yet. Well i really don't care anymore. Who wants to fight first?"

At the end of that sentance Morgawr releases his true reiastu. The power forces both Senna and Autumn on the floor to there stomachs.

"What can't take it or something? Come on purple hair, I thought you would be stronger with those blue wings of yours. And Autumn I am very disappointed. I thought you would be stronger."

Morgawr starts to laugh and smile.

"I guess neither of you would be much fun in a fight. So why don't you both come at me? It will be fun. I won't even need to release my bankai."

Morgawr looks at Senna and Autumn waiting for an answer.

"Ohh i can tell by the worried looks on your faces that you are looking for Rika. Don't worry about her Suikoutsu has already been informed. The only person you have to worry about is yourself."

Morgawr rushes strait for Senna and Autumn.

"Jikanhakaisha brake the bonds of time"

Morgawr's blade shrinks into a 7 in blade dagger. thats still half white and half black. Morgawr use his ability to start jumping around. Dissappering here and reappering there.

"Getting confused yet? By the looks you can't keep giving you really don't understand what my swords ability really does. Well let me put it like this. My speeds gets over 100 times doubled. So basically when i go fast, you don't even look like your moving at all."

Morgawr laughs again.

"So purple hair show me that power of yours. I want to see it and i want to fight against it. In other words Entertain me!!!!!

Senna draws out her sword and raises it up in front of her face. Closing her eyes, she puts both hands on it as it starts to glow.

"Kaiten Houraku, Amatsukaze!" Senna announced as her blade splits into two glowing blades of energy, dimming to reveal a unique sword in each hand.

Staring at the shinigami in front of her, she contemplated the situation. Somehow, he knew that she had the ability to use Mitsukai. She did not know how much he knew about it, but considering that he only recently even knew who she was, it was most likely that he knew only about Heki and Senkou. She considered her options and found that she was in a very unfavorable position. Seeing Autumn fall to the ground clenching his stomach, it made her wonder if she had overestimated his strength.

This does not work in my favorable. I don't know how strong Autumn really is, considering I've never seen him fight. If I fight Mogawr, I'll risk giving away our position. The first thing that the arrancar will do in response to the flaring of an unknown reiatsu will be to converge on our position....Then there's Aizen. If I release Mitsukai, he'll notice it...Things will get very complicated. Senna contemplated to herself about the predicament.

"I knew you were bad news the first time I saw you...when you destroyed the detainment cell in the 4th Division headquarters to break Suikotsu out of prison. All of those times that you wanted to fight against me in the real world without even thinking about the innocent bystanders it could hurt. But kidnapping Rika, coming to Hueco Mundo and working under Aizen? Now wanting to fight me, the person who refused to let you get slaughtered by trapping you with Suikotsu when he became a hollow. What could you possibly be thinking?" Senna asked outloud as she stood still, tracking the shinigami's motions to try and get a sense of Mogawr's movements.

Morgawr starts to laugh.

"Thinking? What was I thinking? Let me tell you something." Morgawr appears behind Senna
"I don't like to think. If the way can get me to where I want I will go there. Thats why I am here. It will get me to where I want to go." Morgawr Disappears again. "Come on Purple Hair Show me that power!!!! They won't know the difference. They are preoccupied with what i have set up. Suikoutsu's on his way to Rika. The arrancar are busy with that Sub soul reaper with the orange hair. No one will bother us. Come on Purple Hair Fight ME NOW!!!!!!"

Morgawr flashes back to when he wasn't this hard

------------------------------------------------

"Morgawr, Hey Morgawr, wait up!"

"Yes what is it?"

"I was just wondering if you would help me train? I can't really get the shunpo down."

Morgawr smiles.

"Of course you should know I am always happy to help."

-------------------------------------------------

Morgawr snaps back to reality.

What has happened to me?

You should know Morgawr reality is setteling in. You can't help everyone help everyone. You are going to step on some people on your way for revenge.

You are right Jikanhakaisha. But i hope its not to many.

Morgawr you are weak. Get back to the battle. By the way, why do you use the name Morgawr?

Its non of your buissnase.

Come on Morgawr you can tell me.

No... Lets get back to the fight.

Morgawr shuts Jikanhakaisha's voice outta his head. Morgawr looks around as he relisease he is standing still. He sees the confused look on Senna's face.

"Sorry purple hair. I was remembering stuff from a long time ago. Now where were we. Ohh yea thats right we where going to fight." Morgawr dissappears again "Come on Senna get your head in the fight. Mine is now."

Jikanhakaisha yells in the back of Morgawr's mind

SAY YOUR TRUE NAME MORGAWR!!!!!! SAY IT!!!!!

Its not time for that Jikanhakaisha.

Morgawr get back into the fight at hand and continues to move around randomly.

Something is wrong with him. Why did he stop and stare towards the ceiling with a blank look? It doesn't matter now. With these erratic movements, I can't predict how he'll move in a normal fight. If he insists on fighting...

Flipping the sword she held with her left hand, she swings it down into the ground to create a deep crack in the earth. Holding out her now free left hand, a glowing swirl of blue energy begins to form at her finger tips. With quick sweeping motions, she forms a glowing orb in the air along with four jagged lines extending outwards from it. Finally, she pushes her hands against the orb, causing the outward streaks to charge up with energy that appeared to flow like electricity.

"Bakudo no 58: Kakushitsuijaku!" Senna announced as she watches a series of Japanese numbers appearing in the orb, changing rapidly.

"11...27...34...47...56...71...82...Got him." Senna muttered under his breath.

He's moving fast, but since I can see where he's at... Senna thought.

"Lets see how you like this experience." Senna said out loud as she held out a finger. "Bakudo no 4: Hainawa!"

A bright beam of yellow energy resembling lightning fires out from Senna's finger appearing to be aimed at thin air. A moment later, a loud groan is heard as Mogawr suddenly appears bound by the glowing yellow ropes of energy.

"Bakudo no 61: Rikujokoro!" Senna announced a second later, causing the yellow rope of energy to shoot outwards and reform into six pillars of light a moment later, slamming against Mogawr in the abdomen, causing him to let out a painful groan.

"Your movements were indeed erratic and unpredictable. In a fight against a typical shinigami, the speed would have overwhelmed them. But...if only you had taken time to read about my normal shinigami abilities rather than focusing on my Mitsukai, you'd have known that my specialty is kido. Using Kakushitsuijaku as a tracking spell, I was able to analyze your pattern of movement. In the end, even if you intended for your movements to be random, it can't block out your subconscious preferences on places to attack enemies from. Without realizing it, your movements did have a pattern and once that pattern was figured out, I can stop it with a binding spell." Senna explained to Mogawr, confused about how he ended up in that position.

Senna then raised the serrated blade in her right hand as a thin layer of purple reiatsu begins to eminiate from her body. She then flipped the sword around to face the ground.

"Houraku, Amatsukaze!" Senna yelled as she stabbed the sword into the ground, causing it to shake slightly as a large transparent wave of wind shoots out from the blade towards Mogawr, cutting a large crevice into the ground as it passes.

Moments later, the blast collides with the target, causing a loud explosion and raising up a large cloud of dust. Pulling both swords out of the ground, she stood poised to strike, waiting for the dust to settle in order to reveal the effectiveness of her last attack.

As the dust clears Morgawr starts to laugh. The top of his robes are blasted away to reveal scars streatching the hole length from shoulders to waist

"Senna,,, Senna,,, Senna. This is so tipical of soul reapers who follow the rules. I used to be like you. But guess what. Being exilled chages you. You learn that rules aren't always whats right. If you would of use your full power you would of most likely put a scratch on me. But this.....This power you are useing now is nothing. Where is that power you used to injury a captain? Show me it!!"

Morgawr forces his reiastu into the bonds causing them to brake. Look at the surprised look on Senna's face Morgawr laughs and says :

"You see Senna I learned a few tricks while out of the Soul Society. Other soul reapers come looking for ya. You have to learn to brake binding spells. It helps alot when your about to get caught. So have fun trying to bind me again. It won't work." Morgawr laughs again "So now where were we? Ohh yea, the fight."

Morgawr dissappears and reappears behind Senna a few paces off. A few seconds later blood squirts out of Senna's side and forearm. Deep gashes form.

"So senna can you still see my movements? If you want I can make them even more random."

Morgawr cuts a strip from his robes and blind folds himself.

"Now you can't get more random then this huh?"

Senna fell on her knees as she used her other hand to examine the wounds on her arm and the side of her torso. Removing her hands, she saw a large amount of blood flowing down the palm of her hand.

Shimata! This is turning bad. It's only begun and already I've been injured more heavily than my entire fight against Captain Kuchiki. He's able to attack with such relative east, yet I have not even been able to put a scratch on him yet. Senna thought to herself as Mogawr continued to shunpo around the room at a speed that she could not keep up with.

"So Senna, can you still see my movements? If you want I can make them even more random." Mogawr said as he stops to quickly cut a strip from his robe.

Senna watches attentively as he wraps the strip of black cloth over his eyes and blindfolds himself.

"What are you doing?" Senna asked out loud.

"Now, you can't get more random than this huh?" Mogawr replied.

"Did you not hear what he said?" Amatsukaze asked in Senna's mind.

"Yeah. He's doing this almost out of sport, almost as if he's trying to prove something." Senna said under her breath.

"No, what he said before. He asked you to show him the power you used against Kuchiki Byakuya." Her zanpaktou interrupted.

"What about it, Amat?" Senna asked quietly.

"You didn't know how much about your ability he knew. There's your answer." Amatsukaze answered.

Of course! Senna exclaimed in her mind. Someone with a personality like him would not have tried to research my ability. He must have spied on my fight against Captain Kuchiki and that's how he knows about the extent of what I can do. Furthermore, he's beginning to act arrogant after getting these two hits off on me. Blindfolding himself just to make your movements more random...it's like chasing after a fly with explosives in your hand. It greatly debilitates one of his senses for battle. In that case...

Senna then stood up again and closed her eyes. Stabbing the large blade in her left hand into the ground once more, she then held out her free hand away from her. Suddenly, a swirl of glowing red energy appears around her palms. Focusing her attention towards the trail of reiatsu left behind by Mogawr's movements, she opens her eyes again and attempts to predict his movements. Turning around quickly, she fires off a shot of red energy without saying a word.

The blast impacts with the wall, missing Mogawr by a few feet. Turning the opposite direction, Senna fires off another blast, also impacting the wall without any effect except a trail of red dust that resulted from the explosion. Turing around again, Senna proceeds to fire off seven more shots, each time missing Mogawr by a few feet. She knew that his speed, she would never be able to get off a direct shot. However, in the end, that didn't matter.

"Senna,,, Senna,,, Senna. This is so tipical of soul reapers who follow the rules. I used to be like you. But guess what. Being exilled chages you. You learn that rules aren't always whats right........"

Rules aren't always what's right.

How true that was for Autumn. He layed there quietly allowing them to fight. As he explore Mog's statement. How true it was. He remembered getting the order, and refusing. The shock, of hearing such an order, and the sentence that followed. Something he said, that sounded just like Mogawr.

I am a ghost then. I will not follow rules that you deem acceptable, when in fact, are a gross injustice to truth and morality. I am dead to this institution you call the Soul Society.

It had been hard, those words, spoken through tears, as he turned away from the hand that brought him up. His dissapointment in the Soul Society had been unbearable, made worse by their reaction to that statement. He had to kill so many, just to take a stand for what was right. And that's why that statement had kept him on the floor so long. It wasn't a lack of strength. It was a bitter acknowledgement that rules weren't always right.

They had been fighting for a little bit. Now it was Autumn's turn. It was time for him to finally reveal himself, to show Senna, and the others, why he was considered the most dangerous Exile to ever survive the Society's judgement. He stood up slowly. He unsheathed his Zanpakuto. Togiro smiled and beared his teeth with anticipation. It was time to shed blood. It was time to kill. Three words spoken, created Shikai, and then Autumn released his reiatsu fully.

"Break my child."

From the turmoil they weren't heard, as Senna raged on with her Kido war upon Mogawr, practically insane, who taunted her in the face. It was a close match, but soon Autumn would join in.

His reiatsu flared. He had been holding it in so long that his Explosi went off. In order to fully appreciate how much damage it did to this castle, you have to understand what Explosi is. It is reiatsu that explodes. Much like there is more strength with fire reiatsu, Explosi is the variant that is far more deadly, far more destructive. Where flames burn things to the ground, Explosi destroys them and then burns them to the ground. In the past only a few Soul Reapers were able to obtain it's power. Autumn was the first to completely master it. Togiro roared. It was time. The room exploded, doing no damage to any animate objects in the room, but a huge portion of the castle was instantly destroyed. This build up of his reiatsu left the with a nuclear like explosion, and wreaked havoc on the environment. The dust billowed all around. Autumn knew that no one would be hurt, that his Explosi had been mastered so well that he could control who it hurt. In this case it was a general release, so it was not offensive. It was simply compressed. His reiatsu immediately alerted the Espada, even Aizen himself couldn't help but notice. Other signatures, already in Bankai, or hollow form paled in comparison to him. He was the epitamy of strength, of potential of the Shinigami. He would teach others, but for now, it was time to kill.

He looked at Mogawr. The dust had settled. He could feel Senna's signature, but his focus was on Mogawr.

"Well, it seems I'm finally exposed. I'm sorry I had to do this, I have to do this Mogawr. We were close friends. But fine, you have decided on your own fate. We will end this today my friend. Senna, stay back. I don't want you to get hurt. Go find them. My release has just opened up the eyes of these so called Arrancar. They will come for me. You'll make it out safely. Find Rika and Suikoutsu. I'll hold them off. Hopefully I'll see you on the otherside. I can't help but feel I would be dissapointed if I don't."

A look of incredulity was on her face. Autumn smiled.

"You're surprised? You haven't even seen my Bankai yet. See you around Senna, take care of yourself."

A sonic boom echoed out as he Shunpo'd past Mogawr. As he stopped, blood splattered from Mogawr's forearm and side. Autumn was not faster than Mogawr, but they were now at the same speed. It would be an even fight, and the stronger would win. More than likely though, they would both die from this encounter...........

"That's for Senna, Mogawr. Come let's kill Togiro. Today we shed the blood of our companions........."

Morgawr starts to laugh at the newly formed cuts.

"Autumn so you finally show yourself. Well I guess its time."

Morgawr looks to the floor.

"Ban..Kai"

Suddenly Morgawr's dagger grows into a mid-evil long sword and splits into two seperates swords 1 white and 1 black. Morgawr removes the blind fold. And dissappears and reappears behind Autumn. A cut forms on Autumns fore arm. A few seconds later a white hour glass appears where the cut was. Morgawr laughs even harder.

"You have my full attention Autumn. Get ready. I won't hold back against you old friend. Hmmm I fear this will get a little messy. Ohh well come Autumn lets fight."

Morgawr makes 5 more simmular cuts all along Autumn's body. Each forming a new hour glass. Autumn starts slowing down.

"Do you like my hour glasses? I do. See there ability is i get 7 of them on you and your speed and strength get cut down by half. But if I touch a white hourglass with my black sword or a black hour glass with my white sword you stop completely. Think of that ability as an improved form of a binding spell. So all I need now is to cut you one more time and your done for Autumn."

Morgawr smiles and continues his assult.

"Remember Autumn here there are no rules to go by. This is either kill or be killed Autumn. So which do you chose? Are you going to kill me or be killed by me?"

Senna exited the room with a shunpo as the two exiled shinigami began their battle behind her. She walked down the empty hallway, looking around for a place to hide. Finding a hidden alcove, she sat herself down on the floor and examined her injuries. PUlling apart the cuts on her black hakama, she saw a rather deep wound on her right forearm and a second cut along the side of her abdomen. The bleeding had slowed down from earlier, but it was far from stopping entirely.

Pulling out small glass bottle filled with a clear liquid, she poured its contents onto a piece of her hakama that she had ripped off to let it soak through. She then pressed it against the wound on her arm and let out a soft swear under her breath. Removing the cloth a few minutes later, the bleeding from the wound had stopped, leaving behind a red mark on her skin. She repeated this with the wound on the side of her abdomen, emptying out the rest of the contents of that bottle.

I'm glad that Kisuke's training facility had a hot spring similar to the one in Soul Society. Its water accelerated the healing of my own wounds when I was training Mitsukai in Soul Society. I figured that the hot spring in the real world would have the same effect. Senna thought to herself, as she looked at the now empty glass bottle laying on the floor.

Turning around to look back towards the room where Autumn and Mogawr were battling, she felt the clash of two fierce reiatsus. The level with which the two fought were amazing, their reiatsu levels higher than most of the Gotei 13 captains. It was a level that she herself could not reach without attracting Aizen Sousuke's personal attention.

Already, two of us have gotten caught in their respective predicaments. I had hoped that this would not be the case, but it looks like things will not go as planned. In a castle this large, it will be very difficult to locate Rika without getting caught. I need to find her and get her out of here at all cost. Senna thought to herself.

Unwrapping a roll of bandages, Senna wrapped the water soaked pieces of her hakama against her wounds, keeping them applied against the wounds before securing it in place. Because she didn't have access to the hot spring itself, bathing herself in the warm waters was not an option. This was as close as she was going to get to soaking her wounds in its waters. While this was far less effective than the previous approach, she believed that in a few hours, the wounds would close up completely. Her only hope was that she would not run into another fight until then.

Taking one final breath, she got up and continued to run along the hallway. She knew that it won't be long before the arrancar try to converge on Mogawr and Autumn's position. She hoped that she would not end up in their paths as she continued to head towards where she last felt Suikotsu's reiatsu. She also hoped that by the time the arrancar converge on Mogawr and Autumn's position, Autumn will have ended the battle and left the area. Even though she now realized that he was strong, there was a limit to what he could do.

If he gets attacked by an Espada during this battle against Mogawr, even he would not be able to survive it. So please...finish it off quickly. Senna thought to herself as she ran down the empty hallway, suppressing her reiatsu to avoid detection.

Suikotsu continues to follow Stark. Suikotsu has been deeply thinking about what morgawr said. Stark leads suikotsu into a room for him to stay in.

Suikotsu "Well this is better than that cell. Will i be able to move freely or will you try and keep me confined to this room."

Stark "We have already seen that we won't be able to force you to stay anywhere but you should probly remain here."

Suikotsu "where are Rika and my zanpaktou."

Stark "that soul reaper is safe and is closer than you think. That Morgawr thinks that we don't know that she is lookig for you or about what she has for you. We know everything going on and there should me no trouble. Aizen has orderd every one not to harm her so you don't need to worry. As for the item she is bring you Aizen is allowing you to have it.

Suikotsu "what about Rika what will happen when she arives here. And what is this item she is brining me.

Stark "Aizen is allowing you to keep the soul reaper. As for the item she is bring you i am not allowed to tell you. You will just have to find out when she gets here. You should be thankful Aizen is being so generus."

Suikotsu "What do you mean."

Stark "He is letting you have your freedom. He is giving you a choice on what you are going to do. He needed to have you come to him. He hasn't told me what it is he wants from you but he seems interested in you and what you can do."

Stark begins to walk towards the door. "Stay here, Rika will be here shortly." With that stark exits the room and begins to walk off in the oposite direction Rika was in.

***

Bloodshed...why is the floor around me covered in blood?

What's that?

A...Shinigami? Another one? Another one? Dozens of them on the floor dead.

What happened to them?

Who killed them?

Why are my hands covered in blood?

Did I do this?

No...it can't be...I would never hurt them.

My hands...why are they warm? Why are they glowing? Like they're burning?

"You look like you can use some help." A man said as he approached the scene of the massacre, his long blonde hair and white robe waving in response to the blowing wind.

"Who...are you? How did I get here?" Senna asked, as though she had no control over her body.

"I am the 12th Division Captain Urahara Kisuke. What you did was very dangerous. I'll try to help you and prevent this from happening again...but in exchange, for your own protection, this must not be known, even by you." The shinigami captain replied.

Must not be known...even by me...


***


Senna suddenly stopped running as this suddenly surfaced in her mind. It was the first time she had ever experienced such a vivid dream without even being asleep. They began to confirm her suspicions that these dreams actually visions or perhaps flashbacks to a period of her life that was lost.

Was my memory...wiped? Senna thought to herself as the last words in her vision flowed through her mind. Where was I? Why was Kisuke there?

These thoughts continued to engulf her thoughts for the next minute as she contemplated what it could all mean. Thinking back to her past, she couldn't remember how she was able to obtain Mitsukai. The only thing she remembered was waking up one day alongside Urahara Kisuke and Hirako Shinji, both of them significantly injured by a strange ability that she possessed.

Moments later, she snapped back to reality, looking around and re-orienting herself to her surroundings in Los Noches. She knew that she could not stay here for long, as staying in one position would have made her easy bait for arrancar. Above all else, she knew that she must not be captured under any circumstance.


***


"Senna... things about you will reveal themselves to you as time goes on. This fight you're stepping into may very well be one path that could lead you to what you've been searching for." Urahara said as Senna was about to go through Gargantua to enter Hueco Mundo.

"This fight...in Hueco Mundo? Why do you think I'll find my answers there? Are you implying that I have ties with that place?" Senna asked, surprised at that last statement.

"That's something that will depend on what path you take. It is something beyond my control and so the only one that can choose whether or not to pursue that path to learning the truth is you. However, there is one thing you must do under any circumstances. And that is...to avoid being captured by Aizen at all costs." Urahara said as his final warning before Senna enters the Gargantua gateway into Hueco Mundo.


***


Those last words of warning by Urahara pierced through her heart, as she contemplated her situation. She knew she was in a very bad predicament. Encountering any arrancar would force her to fight them. In the event that she encountered an Espada like the one that the substitute shinigami Kurosaki Ichigo was battling against, she would have to use Mitsukai to survive. Doing so would most likely attract the attention of every arrancar in the area, along with Aizen Sousuke. With both Suikotsu and Autumn occupied by their respective battles and predicaments, Senna was alone. Thus, she kept moving, sensing her surroundings carefully for signs of unknown reiatsu while suppressing her own.

I just need to find Suikotsu and Rika to get them away from this plac- Senna thought to herself as she closes in on Suikotsu's posiion.

Before she is even able to finish that thought, however, she reached a second room lined with two rows of pillers on each side, similar to the one that Mogawr and Autumn had been doing battle in. Taking a step into it, she felt a massive surge of a very sinister reiatsu. Stopping and tilting her head slightly, she saw a very lanky but extremely tall humanoid figure walk into the room from a side door followed by a second shorter figure.

"Well, well, well...What do we have here? A new pet for me to play with." The tall figure exclaimed in a slightly high pitche voice.

Walking closer towards her, his figure is fully revealed to have long hair along with an white eyepatch covering his left eye. His face revealed a huge smile that eminated of evil, similar to that of the former captain Ichimaru Gin. The aspect that was the most noticeable to her was the enormous scythe-like blade that he wore on his back, creating the shape of two crescent moons.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Senna asked with great suspicion, poising herself to defend at a moment's notice.

"Hahahaha... Someone who will be having some fun with you for a while... I don't know how you've been able to sneak around here for so long, but it's time you saw some action, little girl. I am... the 5th Espada...Nnoitora Jiruga!" He replied loudly as he jumped up and drew out his scythe, swinging it down on Senna as she draws out her zanpaktou to block.

The force of the impact sends her flying backwards, her back slamming into the wall causing it to crumble. Standing up again, she holds out her zanpaktou to prepare for the next attack. Now that she knew she was facing off against an Espada, there was but one option for her. She knew what had to happen.

"Hahahaha... How fun, why the serious look, my new pet-sama? You have a very interesting look... shiny purple hair, bright orange eyes, and an overall cute figure...what do you say I teach you some new tricks?" Nnoitora said with an extremely perverse tone, his large grin continuing to show on his face.

"Stay away from me, you freak." Senna replied, disgusted at his last words. "I have no interest in fighting you or being your so-called pet."

"Really?" Nnoitora commented before disappearing with a low pitched buzzing sound.

Shimata! Senna thought to herself as she quickly raised her sword to block.

The force of the impact was so tremendous that she was unable to block it completely, the arrancar's blade cutting into Senna's shoulder, causing her to let out a painful groan. Using all her strength, she finally managed to push his scythe back far enough to remove the blade from her wound. Pulling her sword away, she quickly leaps out of the way with a shunpo just a second before it slams into the wall, causing it to crumble to dust.

"Oh? Still had some fight in you, now? Was wondering how you were able to get to this castle in the first place." Nnoitora said, his grin slightly wider as though that last move gave him an increased satisfaction.

"Nnoitora-sama, do you want me to-?" The shorter arrancar, who had been silent up until now, spoke up.

"Shut up, Tesla. I don't need you barging in here. I'm having myself quite a bit of fun." Nnoitora interrupted him with a threatening look.

"Hai." Tesla resonded, lowering his head to give a sheepish expression.

"Now...where were we-" Nnoitora began to say as he turned to focus on Senna again.

"Hado no 54: Haien!" Senna announced, her hands held out towards Nnoitora as a large orb of purple energy formed at her palm, firing off at the sound of those last words.

A large explosion then took place as the kido attack collided with Nnoitora's position, raising up a large cloud of dust. Turning to the Espada's fraccion, Tesla, she noticed that he had not moved since the beginning of the fight, standing still without even worrying. A moment later, this became apparent why.

"Hahahaha." Nnoitora began to laugh behind the cloud of dust. "That was nice and warm. Was that really suppose to hurt, shinigami? A weak attack like that will not even land a scratch on me. Nothing can destroy this body of mine!"

Senna contemplated the situation before attempting to run, using a quick shunpo to run towards the other side of the room, only to be stopped by Nnoitora who appeared in front of her with a Sonido.

"Leaving the party so soon?" Nnoitora asked as he swung his zanpaktou down.

Senna managed to successfully dodge the attack, leaping backwards a second before the attack collided with the ground, causing a large explosion to form a small crater in the ground. She knew that she was fighting an Espada, an arrancar who was far faster and more powerful than she was even without releasing his Resurrection form. Even though she could not afford to be caputured, her more immediate problem was at hand.

Senna then resheathed her zanpaktou, knowing that against an enemy like this, it would be useless to fight with it without mastering bankai. There was only one way that she was going to make it out of this alive, and it was the method that she told herself and Urahara that she would never get caught using in Hueco Mundo. Closing her eyes and began to focus her energy to unlock her latent ability.

"Oh? Giving up already? How boring. Since I've lost interest in you, I might as well ki-" Nnoitora began to say before noticing that something strange was happening to the small shinigami girl in front of him. "What's this?"

Senna's eyes remained closed as she felt a warm flow of energy beginning to surround her body. The intensity of the energy flowing around her began to increase, circling a large area around her.

"Kai!" Senna exclaimed as her eyes shot wide open, glowing a bright yellow.

Her reiatsu suddenly soared, causing the room to be flooded with a very dense spirit pressure. A groan is heard coming from Tesla as he starts to fall to his knees trying to breath through the heavy spirit pressure. Moments later, the energy gathers behind Senna, forming two small angelic wings behind her.

"What the are you? What did you just do-" Nnoitora asked in surprise before stopping to watch as the walls and floor around Senna began to glow brightly, decomposing into shards of spirit particles that flow towards the female shinigami.

Upon reaching Senna, the spirit particles merge with her wings, causing them to increase in size to span a width of around three times her height. Her sleeves tear off from the force of the energy, revealing that the wound from Mogawr's earlier attack and even the wound from Nnoitora's attack closed off, healing without a scratch. She then brought her attention towards the Espada standing there, a grin beginning to form on his face.

"Heh...so it seems you're not really a shinigami after all." Nnoitora commented. "This trick may look cool, but lets see if you can even lay a scratch on me!"

Nnoitora quickly leaps into the air, holding out his zanpaktou with both hands. As he descends, he swings the scythe forward, preparing to impale her. Looking up a second before the attack hits her, Senna holds out her hand as multiple streams of energy shoots out from her wings, reforming in her right hand. As Nnoitora's attack is about to land, Senna holds up her hand to block the massive blade with her hand. The collision of the two attacks create a massive shockwave, sending clouds of dust spiraling outwards as Tesla struggles to block himself from the force of the attack.

"What?!" Nnoitora exclaimed at the realization that the girl was able to block his attack with her hands.

"Be gone...Espada!" Senna yelled.

The energy in her hand then reforms into a glowing ball that brightens fiercely. A split second later, she fires it off in the form of a large blue spiraling beam that almost resembles an Espada's Gran Rey Cero. The blast travels through the room. Upon hitting the wall on the opposite side of the room, the large area crumbles as the blast pierces it, creating a large hole that allows what appeared to be sunlight to enter the room.

"Nnoitora-sama!" Tesla exclaimed as he ran to the opening in the wall, leaping out of it to approach his master.

"Kudaranai." Senna commented out loud.

The energy in her wings then began to reform, shrouding her body before exploding in a series of what resembled lightning, tearing the ground around her as the energy strikes the ground. This technique was not unfamiliar to Soul Society, as two shinigami captains have been able to use a variation of it, neither of whom have been able perfect it to this form. Moments later, Senna disappeared with a shunpo, appearing on the outside of the building next to Tesla, who was on his way towards Nnoitora. Upon seeing her, Tesla opened his wide in surprise at the speed at which she moved. Although Senna did not have a name for it, she accepted the name that was given to it by a shinigami captain who had copied the technique when she saw it over a hundred years ago, the former captain of the 2nd Division, Shihouin Yoruichi.

"Shunko!" Senna yelled as she held out her right fist, causing a massive midair explosion.

Tesla fell to the ground, letting out a painful groan as his body has become covered in scars. Landing on the ground, Senna saw noticed that Tesla was struggling to even stand up. She knew that he would no longer be a threat. Turning her head to look towards the distance, where the lanky figure of Nnoitora could be seen standing up, she knew that the fight with him was far from over. He was breathing heavily, trying to catch his breath after that last attack. Despite his claims about nothing being able to harm him, he was covered in scars and burns after taking a Heki from point blank range.

"Kuso...Kuso...Kuso. Curse you, shinigami. You think that I will fall just from that one attack? I was going to play around with you for a bit, but now that you've become this troublesome, I've decided I'm just going to kill you instead." Nnoitora said, panting heavily.

Senna continued to maintain her Mitsukai in the form of Shunko. It had been the first time she has been able to maintain that ability for so long, drawing massive amounts of spirit particles form the air and ground around her to sustain her energy without feeling any fatigue.

"I have said it before, I do not wish to fight. If you let me go then I'll walk away without turning back." Senna said, hoping to end the battle quickly.

"Screw you shinigami. You think you'll make a fool out of me? I'll show you what it really means to be an Espada." Nnoitora yelled out, charging towards Senna with his Zanpaktou beginning to glow. "Pray! San-"

An dark skinned man dressed in a white sleeveless arrancar uniform appeared, his head turned away from Senna to block the path between Nnoitora and Senna, interrupting Nnoitora's words.

"What?" Nnoitora demanded, in shock at his appearance.

"This is as far as you go, Nnoitora. Aizen-sama has plans for this woman. You will not harm her any further." The man replied in a low deep voice.

That voice...it belongs to- Senna thought to herself as the man turned his face to look at her, revealing that he is the former captain of the 9th Division, Tousen Kaname.

"Tousen..." Senna uttered out loud.

"Senna. Aizen-sama requires your presence." Tousen replies.

"I have nothing to say to him." Senna objected, preparing to defend herself with Shunko.

"Aizen-sama has requested that I take you to him unharmed. Even if you do not know about it, a lot of his plans involve you." Tousen replied firmly without moving.

"Tch. Hey Tousen, what is so special about this woman that Aizen would send you out here to retrieve her personally?" Nnoitora interrupted.

"She is...a one of a kind shinigami...The reason that you and all of the arrancar have the powers you do." Tousen replied, causing Senna to swallow hard.

What is he talking about? The reason that the arrancar have their power? What do they have to do with me? Senna thought to herself, terrified about what she's about to learn.

"Hmm...So I see Aizen-sama was right. Your memory really was wiped. You are...the first successful hyrbid shinigami that has ever existed." Tousen said, causing her to let out an utter of terror. "Don't worry, unlike Hirako Shinji, who you've been recently reacquainted with, you have no association with the hollows. Your power...is the perfect hybridization of the powers of a Shinigami and a Qunicy."

Those last words echoed in her mind, causing her to gasp out in terror. The surprise caused her to lose focus of her ability, dispersing Mitsukai. Upon seeing this, Tousen disappeared from sight, appearing next to her as he drew out his sword slightly.

"This will be the most peaceful way out of an inevitable pointless battle." Tousen said. "Nake, Suzumushi."

Senna suddenly heard a loud high-pitch tone coming from his Zanpaktou, causing her to suddenly feel light headed. With her Mitsukai dispersed, she could not stand up to his Zanpaktou's ability. Moments later, she fell to the floor unconscious. She did not know how long she was unconscious for. It felt like an eternity by the time she woke up again. Opening her eyes again, she found herself in a large dimly lit room. Looking up slightly, she saw multiple people dressed in white robes standing in the room along with one person sitting on a large seat made out of stone.

"Wh-Where am I?" Senna asked in a low voice.

"Domo, Senna-chan." A very familiar deep voice greeted her.

Opening her eyes fully, she looked up to see her former captain Aizen Sousuke sitting on the throne, staring down at her with a grin. Alongside him, stood Tousen Kaname and the former captain of the 3rd Division Ichimaru Gin.

"Welcome to my castle, Los Noches." Aizen said, causing her to gasp at the realization that she had fallen into his hands.

Morgawr feels the imense spiritual pressure coming from deeper in the castle.

So purple hair you really do have power.

Morgawr turns his attention back to Autumn.

This will have to be over now.

Morgawr quickly makes his 7th hour glass form on Autumn. Autumn's reiatsu and cutting it in half. Autumn's speed and strength starts to fail him.

"Its over Autumn. I have won this fight." Morgawr touches a white hour glass on Autumn's chest with his black sword. Autumn stops moving all togther. "Autumn, I am sorry."

Autumn's back is against the wall. Morgawr lunges his blade towrads Autumns head. The blade pirces the wall behind Autumn's head. Blood goes over the wall.

"Autumn......." Morgawr mutters under his breath so only he can hear.

Morgawr takes his blade from the wall and releases his bankai. His twin blades reform into one single Zanpaktou. Autumn's body falls to the floor and his reiatsu disappears.

Juddging by where Senna's reiatsu is comeing from she is in Aizen's throne room. He isn't alone in there. Tousen and Gin are in there aswell. Senna you better be carefull if you don't want to die. Well its about time i go catch up with Rika and Suikoutsu

Morgawr leaves the room with Autumn's lifeless body still on the floor.

Morgawr flashs back again.

------------------------------------------

"Morgawr-kun what are you doing?" A short and skinny soul reaper yells

Morgawr looks back to see his love of his life. She was short about 5'4" and had long blonde hair. She was the most beuitifull girl Morgawr had ever seen.

"Nothing. What do you need?" Morgawr says with a smile.

She laughs "Nothing just wanted to hang out."

"Ok where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere."

"Ok"

Morgawr and the soul reaper take a walk through the woods.

"Morgawr-kun?"

"Yes what is it?"

"Why do you always go by Morgawr instead of your real name?"

"I don't know why. I guess i never really liked the name. You can call me it if you want."

"Ok, Sasurau-kun."

Morgawr smiles at his name.

---------------------------------------

Morgawr comes back to reality.

That was the last time i heard my name. I wonder how long it has been since anyone has called me by that name. Ohh well it doesn't matter anymore. I have things to get done.

Morgawr walks down the hall way towards Suikoutsu and Rika.
