At the Throne Room, Aizen was sitting there while pondering many things... Just a few minutes ago he felt a familiar signature which he knew it was Gins...
He was waiting for good news for the past 18 hours and even though he felt Sora's reaitsu die down 18 hours prior, he also felt many spikes at the later hours...
One of which had almost the same signature as Sora...
During these hours Gin had stalled, Kaname managed to gather the dispersing Reishi from dying hollows and feed the energy to his Hogyoku completely recharging it and as there was still some left over he gave it to Ulquiorra to stabilise his shard...
Aizen: "Kaname notify everyone that it's time to achieve our greater Goal..."
Kaname: "Yes!!!"
Aizen: "Ulquiorra with your new found power it will fall under you to protect this place."
Ulquiorra: "I swear at my new rank the number of 0..."
Aizen: "Good... Although we have taken a few losses, the stronger one is what counts in the end as it is something that will never betray you."
Ulquiorra: "Yes..."
Aizen: "Send someone to fetch Inoue and guard her in the throne room, when those that have invaded us come here, return her to them and then exterminate them."
Ulquiorra: "Right away Aizen-sama..."
Aizen watched Ulquiorra walking away from there and started pondering deeply on what kind of forces he had left...
Aizen: "The Privaron Espada have all lost, and from the current ones... N. 4 Baraggan, N.3 harribel, N. 8 Dordoni, N. 9 Cirucci Sanderwicci and N.10 Mosqueda have been defeated and died or by other means, they cannot participate."
Aizen: "I'm sure they must have all realised it as their Espada Tattoo must have changed the order..."
Aizen: "0th Ulquiorra Cifer, 1st Coyote Starrk and Lilynette Gingerbuck, 2nd possibly Tier Harribel as i didn't feel her Reiatsu completely vanish, 3rd Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, 4th Luppi Antenor and 5th Yammy Llargo."
Aizen: "This means only 4 Espada will accompany me..."
True to his words everyone in their own position within the Las Noches, felt extremely puzzled when they felt their rank change...
It happened so suddenly that it meant one thing... Many of those in the Espada passed away...
However, how should Aizen know that in the original only three of them accompanied him to the real world along with their goons...
This time however one more will go with him and at the same time, all of them have a second form, no matter how many goons he brings unless they are up to par with the Captain there is no meaning in their existence...
Seemingly lost in his own world, Aizen felt a presence getting closer to him and spoke out...
Aizen: "Gin, how was it??"
Gin: "I just returned Captain Aizen..."
Gin: "Things aren't that favourable to us..."
Aizen: "What happened??"
Gin proceeded in telling Aizen about many things that happened after they found him including, what he learned about his abilities and how he was stuck in a weird like Kido cocoon.
When he emerged out of it, he saw Harribel dead beaten on the ground and everywhere was burning with flames similar to what they had seen.
He also told him that Sora's Zanpakuto had a catch about the commands and everything that happened...
Aizen: "I see that was the unusual, reiatsu i felt yet at the same time familiar with him..."
Aizen: "It's a good thing i took precautions against both him and Yamamoto with Wonderweiss reaching a second form..."
Aizen: "Since that dome protecting his self-proclaimed wife was still active, it means he was healing and spending Reiatsu at the same time which will keep his hands occupied."
Aizen: "This gives us, a few hours to finish our final plans."
