Zaraki who was fighting with Ichigo simply with his sword giving him a hard time suddenly froze... Ichigo saw this and didn't attack as he knew that something happened....
Zaraki looked at Ichigo and then to Ikkaku and Yumichika who were fighting Isshin....
Zaraki: "You two we have been called back..."
Renji and Gin who were fighting Urahara paused and Gin was shocked why didn't he got the same message??
Gin didn't get any orders from Aizen, therefore, he played along with his foxy lies and turned to Renji...
Gin: "He's right... we got the message...."
Renji: "You're lucky brat...."
Zaraki: "Let's move!!!!"
Ichigo: "Wait!!!!"
Gin: "Bye Bye!!!!
As they left their final words they vanished from there... Leaving the three dead tired... although they weren't fighting seriously their nerves were quite stretched....
Before they managed to relax a bit.. they felt a few people approaching before they could act... they heard a female voice....
??? : "Wait!! it's us!!!"
Urahara: "Where the hell where you Yoruichi-san...."
Yoruichi: "That bastard Sora teleported us outside of the gates!!!"
Nelliel: "Then we met with these guys and Sora was fighting a few others..."
Ichigo: "So that means he will reach here shortly??"
Yoruichi: "Probably.... and Ichigo turns out with your prying you fucked him up hard....."
Nelliel: "Yeah not only you, all of us...."
All of them ponder over what they said.... Ichigo then had a light bulb ignite in his mind...
Ichigo: "Did the system gave him some kind of task??"
Both had bitter faces and they saw that it must be a really harsh one.... but for now they should focus on Rukia they need to go in the Sōkyoku Hill....
On top of the Hill, a few Captains and Vice Captains had gathered there.... They were Yamamoto, Chojiro, Soi Fon with Omaeda, Byakuya, Nanao Ise with Shunsui, and finally, Unohana with Isane arrived on time....
They got in order and Yamamoto was standing in front of Rukia asking her if she has any last words to say...
Rukia knew that he would be saved and this was a fiasco but in the off chance she really died trying to unmask the one behind everything...
Rukia: "I wish for the humans that came to save me to be returned back on the Real World..."
Yamamoto: "You have my words...."
Rukia: "Thank You!!!"
Yamamoto: "Release the Sōkyoku"
It was then that a few shinigami's raised their reiatsu cutting away the ropes in the spear.... when that happened everyone could feel the feeling of its power... they saw the ropes that had been cut, untangle themselves and fell on the ground as rods.....
What was left was a huge Spear with a single blade at its tip, when the last rope stuck on the ground the spear burst in flames..... revealing a phoenix-like bird being condensed by flames...
Everyone saw that including those who were hiding away such as Aizen who had a smile on his face...
Ichigo and the others saw this and tried to speed up.... just then Ichigo heard a familiar voice....
??? : "Jump above you..... Hurry"
Ichigo: "Che Orrrriiiiaaaaaaaaa"
They all saw Ichigo jump and at the same time vanish from there.... at the Hill just as the Bird was about to jump and fry Rukia.... Ichigo appeared with his sword in Shikai holding it in it's back as he was blocking the beak of the bird.....
??? : "Yo.... Rukia.... We've come to save you....."
