Going back in time when Yhwach, Jugram and Cifer left from Soul Society...
Sora and the rest looked at the person who spoke that wanted to join in their plan to hunt them down once and for all...
They couldn't help but feel somewhat tense as this person had caused them many problems in the past...
Sora: "How were you released from the prison Aizen??"
Aizen: "As all of you were busy with this war, Yhwach had come to me wanting cooperation..."
Sora: "So you being here means that negotiations failed huh..."
Aizen: "He tried to kill me in the process and that's what i showed him as he broke my restrains..."
Aizen: "Therefore here i am offering my assistance..."
Sora: "Hoh... And why would we need your assistance??"
Aizen: "I'm curious as to how Ulquiorra became Human..."
Aizen: "Therefore for that end, i can assist you..."
Sora: "Then welcome aboard..."
Shunsui: "Wait you are gonna trust him that easily??"
Ukitake: "This is..."
Yamamoto: "If you do allow him to tag along he will be your responsibility for what happens..."
Sora: "Oh, then you are not against him??"
Yamamoto: "Despite his betrayal his powers are unquestionable..."
Sora: "Then this is our plan... Me, Yamamoto and Aizen will go upwards and deal with them..."
Sora: "For now though i would like you to back off with the exception of Ukitake..."
Ukitake: "What is it that you wish to take from me??"
Even though everyone had their doubts they still backed off as they didn't know what Sora wanted to do with Ukitake...
Sora: "Sometime during the so-called invasion you took inside you a part of the Soul King..."
Sora: "And i need that part out of you..."
Just as Sora spoke from beneath of Ukitake's feet a shadow emerged that had an appearance of a humanoid entity with a body shaped like an arm and a clenched right fist, with a single, large eye on the back of the fist.
Seeing this many were shocked but many remained calm...
Then Sora summoned his black flames and completely engulfed Ukitake within before anyone had any time to react...
Shunsui: "What are you doing... Are you trying to kill him..."
Sora: "No, I'm simply gathering everything that will counter Yhwach up there..."
Sora: "However as soon as this part leaves Ukitake's body, his condition will worsen rapidly and it will kill him within minutes..."
Yamamoto: "Then do you have a plan to prevent this??"
Sora: "I do have medicine, but no idea if it will heal him completely or extend his life..."
Saying that everyone somewhat calmed down and wanted as they watched the flames burn, it wasn't long that Sora heard his system notification...

As soon as it rang Sora withdrew his flames and Ukitake revealed himself with a white face as if all the blood on his body disappeared completely...
Then Sora took out a small pill that looked like a candy and passed it to Ukitake before speaking up...
Sora: "Soak it in your blood and then eat it..."
Sora: "It only works on those who have dropped their blood on it, if someone else takes it bypassing this it won't work and they will waste it..."
As Ukitake felt heavy and his condition seemed as if a mountain kept crushing on him, he quickly took a bit of blood from his mouth as his condition worsened and made blood drip from it...
And started rubbing the pill before consuming it...
As soon as he did that he felt his body slowly getting lighter and soon clarity returned from the burden he was suffering...
Soon all of them watched as his face returned to normal and knew that it worked but for how long he will live from now on they don't know...
