Yuzu: "Hana-chan!!!"
Yuzu turned around and hugged the girl that had her height which had appeared silently and turned everything upside down protecting Yuzu...
Hana: "No one hurts Yuzu on my watch..."
Hana was trying to sound serious about this but with Yuzu hugging her and rubbing her cheeks it was hard to talk...
At the same time, an Old Man appeared behind Karin and started lecturing her about her ways of handling things here, what surprised everyone was that Karin was actually listening to him...
Sora: "So I guess those two are their spirits..."
Ichigo: "Quite a sight actually..."
Sora: "What do you want to do?? You know that i will have to beat you and revert you to your sword sealed formed..."
Ichigo: "Well i would like to stay like this for a while longer... Either way, i'm not controlled by him..."
Sora: "True... So this time make sure you make it up to Tatsuki and Inoue..."
Muramasa was watching everything going highway and nothing went as he had planned... He started giving mental commands here and there towards where the other battles had escalated...
All of them started retreating from where they were saying their goodbyes and that they'll meet soon enough...
As they left, many felt huge spikes of reiatsu and one of them was Rukia as they could see a few Ice moon pillars getting raised at the far horizon...
Rukia: "What's wrong stop!!!"
Shirayuki: "Some no mai, Tsukishiro!!!"
Shirayuki had already drawn and activated her Shikai and was battling Rukia, the aftermath was her being covered in wounds and bruises as she was trying to figure out the reason behind her betrayal.
At the same time, everyone saw a burst of pink coloured reiatsu and countless petals bloomed somewhere far away from Rukia making her worry about her brother's safety...
Rukia: "Nii-sama!!!"
Shirayuki: "Pay attention!!!"
Shirayuki burst forth chilling winds that blasted Rukia as she crashed on the gates nearby before passing out...
In the last memories, she saw Shirayuki getting closer but as she almost reached her Shirayuki left the place having gotten her orders of retreat...
Rukia: "W.....h....yyyy.............."
The first early stages passed for all of them as the enemy had vanished, somewhere far away from there a young man was doing meditation in order to awaken for the 3rd time his True Zanpakuto this time...
He raised his head as he was interrupted and looked towards the Hills as he had a frown on his face, it only lasted for a few seconds before returning facing his sword...
He closed his eyes and started meditating ignoring anything else that happened right now...
Sora was looking from the Hills the destruction of the attacks that had happened so far, even though he knew that Mayuri had a way to rebuilt everything from scratch... It was still pity getting destroyed right after they were fixed...
Yoruichi: "Sora, do you know anything about this??"
Sora: "Why does everyone assume that i know everything??"
Unohana: "Because you are..."
Karin: "Because you're a baka..."
Yuzu: "Because you are Sora-ni...."
None could say something more, Yuzu crashed them with cuteness overload along with the weight of her words...
Ichigo: "Isn't the big brother supposed to know everything??"
Sora turned to see Ichigo and gave him a glare that said like he was better before which prompt him to shut up as he got the meaning...
Sora: "I only have theories..."
As Sora started speaking about his theories and what they might entail in them, somewhere in the 6th Division, Renji was constantly confronted and chased by 2 individuals whom he does not recognize at first.
But when he saw them calling their Shikai, Zabimaru, Renji after an almost impossible to avoid beatdown finally realized they are his Zanpakutล spirit.
Apparently, not all spirits followed the retreat order from Muramasa...
