Twenty Three- attack on Karakura

I don't know how much time had passed since I came to Hueco Mundo. Then the day came when Aizen had summoned all of his Espada together. Never before had Aizen assembled us all together. I sat there as Aizen had both Gin and Tosen by his side. Grimmjow's arm had been completely healed thanks to Orihime.

"Gentlemen and lady.... finally we can make our move as I found the place where to gather enough reishi in order to create the Oken. Finally at long last we can begin our war with the Seireitei as I will become the new soul king." replied Aizen.

"Well don't leave us hanging here lord Aizen." replied Nnoritora.

"The place will hold over ten thousand souls. It happens to be Karakura." replied Aizen. I couldn't believe the words coming from Aizen's lips. He was going to strike my home town where my family and all of my friends still lived. "That isn't a problem is it Ichigo?" he asked. I could feel my sharp nails biting into the palms of my hand as I tried not to show him that I was fazed by his words.

"Of course not. That was my old life Aizen. I follow you now." I replied. I felt as if I could choke on the words that spat from my lips.

"Good. Gather all of your fraccion as we prepare for war!" replied Aizen. I quickly flash sonido out of the room heading back to my quarters. Orihime was there to greet me as she could see the worry stretched across my face.

"Ichigo what's wrong?" she asked in concern.

"Is everyone here?" I simply asked entering my chambers.

"Of course we are Ichigo. Something is wrong. What's happening?" asked Sasori. I could see the concerned faces of my fraccion. I proceeded to fill them in to what Aizen had said. Orihime's face turned white as a sheet.

"He can't be serious. Your family and all of our friends are there." Orihime stated in complete shock.

"I know Orihime. I have to send word at once to the Seireitei. I will not allow him to destroy our home town just in order to satisfy his need for power. I hope that the Seireitei can mobilize quickly as war is about to begin." I reply quickly slipping out of my quarters heading outside of Los Noches. My hand wrapped around the badge that the Seireitei had given to me. I saw Gin waiting for me as he simply handed me a piece of paper. I took the paper from him walking outside of Los Noches. "This is Ichigo Kurosaki reporting in. This is a state of emergency." I stated speaking into the badge. I opened the note that Gin gave me.

~Kurosaki, The Seireitei where able to figure out Aizen's plans for Karakura. He is planning to infuse himself with

the power of the Hogyoku. Most of us except for your group of fraccion haven't seen the power of Aizen's zanpakuto. His zanpakuto has the power to allow those who see it even once to get caught in whatever illusion the caster wishes for you to see. You maybe the only one who can stop him as your power exceeds his own and that since using the Hogyoku's power to change you into an Arrancar, caused the Hogyoku to fracture. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you are a natural hollow or the incredible spiritual pressure you have. I can't say which. Alert the Seireitei to Aizen's plans and assure them that we stand with them. Our only hope is for your resurreccion and the power that you are capable of. Gin~
