Sung-Sun slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurred after taking a huge beating. The first person that she saw as her vision started to correct itself was a familiar (H/C) shinigami. Before she could say anything, she felt pain shoot through her body.

(Y/N): You're finally awake. Just take it easy.

Sung-Sun couldn't put the dots together. Why was her enemy healing her? Before she could answer she heard a voice she was happy to hear.

Harribel: It's good to see you awake, Sung-Sun.

Sung-Sun: L-lady Harribel... What's going on?

Harribel looked agitated before she spoke.

Harribel: Aizen has betrayed us...

Sung-Sun was stunned at the news. Harribel continued.

Harribel: Thanks to (Y/N), we all were able to escape alongside Starrk here. It's honestly thanks to him we're all alive. He's been healing all of us.

Sung-Sun: I can't believe it... After everything we've done for Lord-

Sung-Sun quickly corrected herself.

Sung-Sun: After everything we've done for Aizen, why did he betray us?

Harribel: He deemed us not worthy of fighting for him and inferior.

Sung-Sun was dejected at the news. Just then, (Y/N) spoke up.

(Y/N): Sorry to ask this of you after you just woke up but I may need your help with your two friends. I decided to heal you first since you were the most level headed. I fear if I healed them first they'll swing first and ask questions later. Or at the very least, Apacci would...

Sung-Sun: A good dedication indeed. No need to worry, I'll help out.

(Y/N): Thanks.

As (Y/N) healed Apacci, her immediate reaction when she woke up and saw (Y/N) was to punch him. Thankfully (Y/N) predicted this ahead of time and avoided the attack.

(Y/N): You could at least say "Thank you"...

Apacci: I don't know what you think you're doing but-

Sung-Sun gave Apacci a stern hit to the head.

Sung-Sun: Once again, you're far too impatient.

Apacci: Sung-Sun? What's going on here? Why are you hanging around this guy?

Sung-Sun: We'll be able to give you the full story once we help Mila Rose but for now, we're going to be assisting (Y/N).

Apacci turned towards Harribel.

Harribel: Don't worry Apacci. He's trustworthy.

Apacci: Then I'll take your word for it, Lady Harribel.

Apacci turned to (Y/N).

Apacci: If you do betray us then I'll take your head. Got it?

(Y/N): Noted...

Lastly, (Y/N) healed Mila Rose. (Y/N)'s energy was running low. Between resurrecting during his fight with Baraggan (despite Soi-Fon being the cause), the amount of kido spells he used in the fight, and healing 5 arrancars, (Y/N) was really pushing his limits. At the very least he'll need said arrancars to spare him some spiritual energy if they wanna plan a counterattack.

As Mila Rose woke up she came face to face with Apacci, Sung-Sun and... (Y/N)?

Mila Rose: W-What's going on?

Apacci: Mila, you're finally awake.

Sung-Sun: Welcome back to the living.

Mila Rose: Aren't any of you going to address the elephant in the room.

Harribel was the first to speak.

Harribel: From here on out, we'll be assisting the Shinigami's fight against Aizen. He has not only betrayed us but Starrk and Lilynette as well.

Apacci and Mila Rose were taken aback. They definitely had a few choice words that couldn't be repeated.

Apacci: So, we're really going to cooperate with (Y/N)? For all we know, he could be just as bad as Aizen.

Harribel: He had many chances to kill us all. And he's given us constant warnings about Aizen's true nature. I've decided to trust him.

Mila Rose: If that's your choice then we'll follow it, no questions asked.

(Y/N): Now that everyone is on the same page, let's start putting together a plan.

(Y/N) looked over to see Starrk was asleep during the exposition. He couldn't blame him for being tired but at the same time, falling asleep during a war was nothing short of surprising. At this point, Starrk had already revert to his original form again, meaning that both he and Lilynette were no longer fused

(Y/N): Um... Maybe we should wake up-

Lilynette: Don't worry, I'll handle it.

Lilynette kicked Starrk in his ribs.

Lilynette: WAKE UP! THIS IS NO TIME TO BE SLEEPING! WE HAVE AN ASSHOLE TO KICK!

Starrk: H-hey, watch it, will you? I'm still recovering... Watch where you hit me-

Lilynette: IF YOU DON'T WANNA GET HIT, THEN WAKE UP AND PAY ATTENTION!

Starrk: Hm? Do we have a plan or something?

Lilynette: That's what we're getting ready to discuss. Now listen up!

(Y/N) was surprised by how hostile Lilynette was. She acted nothing like how Harribel's fraccion acted towards the 3rd Espada. Heck, (Y/N) despite saying he doesn't have one, his new friendship with Wiz was less hectic than what he was currently witnessing.

(Y/N) could only think to himself.

(Y/N): *thinking* This is quite a team I've put together... Guess this is what I get for taking over...

(Y/N): Alright, first things first. I need any info you have on Aizen, Gin and Tosen.

(Meanwhile) With the Court Guard Squad and Vizards

Everyone was surrounding Aizen, Gin and Tosen. Despite how massive the difference in people was, Aizen and his subordinates weren't afraid or concerned in the slightest. Shinji was currently giving the Vizards advice.

Shinji: Don't approach him carelessly. Aizen's got that power. If you approach him recklessly, it's over.

Hiyori: I know that.

Shinji: You idiot. I'm talking to you! Relax, Hiyori.

Aizen: How typical. You have such caring words, Captain Hirako. But it's so silly to say that it'll be over if you approach me recklessly. Even if you approach me recklessly or carefully, or even if you don't approach me at all, the end result will be the same. I'm not talking about things to come. Your end is inescapable. It's an event of the past.

The Vizards clearly didn't like the way Aizen was talking to them and Shinji had to calm them down before they acted recklessly.

Shinji: He's taunting us! Don't fall for it!

Aizen: What do you have to fear? All of you already died on that night a hundred years ago.

Flashes of memories came flooding back to the Vizards, Hiyori especially. The day Aizen hollowfied all of them and had them kicked out of the Soul Society. Hiyori, out of anger, rushed towards Aizen in anger, not heeding Shinji's warning.

Shinji: Hiyori!



Hiyori got close to Aizen but before she could swing her sword-



Hiyori was cut in half by Gin.



Gin: One down.

Shinji: Hiyori!

Shinji flew off to catch whatever was left of Hiyori's body.

Shinji: Hiyori...

Hiyori: S-Sorry, Shinji. I...I couldn't hold back.

Shinji was currently panicking. He knew he needed more than just Hachi's healing ability to save Hiyori and (Y/N) was already preoccupied with the arrancars.

Shinji: Hiyori... What should I do? How can I help Hiyori?!

Shinji then had an epiphany.

Shinji: That's right... Orihime... Orihime's power can still heal her! Ichigo! Isn't Ichigo here yet?! Ichigo!

Kurosaki...

Where are you...?

To be continued.
