Moon was reflecting light brightly upon Karakura town. The clouds were drifting slowly in the clear dark blue sky. The atmosphere was peaceful as cats could be seen yawning on the roof of the houses here and there. But, suddenly in the peaceful and clear sky, something emerged. It was a massive black rift that looked like a mouth of an enormous beast. Inside of the rift, there could be seen a few men in white clothes were floating in mid-air. As these men appeared the peaceful atmosphere was replaced by a chaotic and frightening atmosphere.
Right after these entities appeared, another few also appeared. The newcomers wore black clothes and had blades in their waist.
Not long after the men in black appeared, the men in white attacked them. Most white clothes men were fighting against one black-clothed man while some of them were fighting two at the time.
The fight continues. The newcomers were losing even though they had an advantage in number. But this didn't last long. The shinigamis shouted, "Limit Off". After this single loud sentence, the pace of the fight shifted 180 degrees. The arrancars who once was winning by a big margin now could do nothing against the shinigamis as the shingamis kept killing them one by one. Some of the arrancars died due to high concentrated blast from the mouth of the snake-like long sword, some got killed by a slash from an orange-haired girl, while some had died being frozen in an ice coffin by a silver-haired kid with ice wings on his back.
While this happening, somewhere in town, a spiky orange-haired boy had killed one of the arrancars and was fighting against another one.
The Arrancar was a tall, lean yet muscular man with light blue spiky hair and eyes. He wore a standard arrancar outfit and left his jacket open exposing his muscular chest. He had a remnant of his hollow mask that was right jawbone and a hollow hole on his abdomen. He was the 6th Espada, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez.
The battle between Ichigo and Grimmjow was something no spectator would get joy watching. It was like a battle between an amateur and an expert. During the fight, Ichigo managed to injure Grimmjow with his special attack 'Getsuga Tensho'. But it only left a scar on Grimmjow's torso and a burn mark on his jaw. Grimmjow started to laugh and said to Ichigo now he found Ichigo worth killing and takes out his zanpakuto.
Right at this moment, before Grimmjow can act, a man wearing white clothing that was sleeveless, an orange scarf wrapped around his neck, and a goggle. He had olive skin and purple hair. He was none other than Kaname Tosen former captain of the 9th division of Gotei 13.
As he appears behind Grimmjow, he told him to sheath his sword. Enraged by this Grimmjow demanded an explanation from the blind man which Tosen replied swiftly. After the explanation, Garganta appeared behind them and they left.
While this was happening, a certain black-haired man was watching from afar and vanished.

After negotiation with Tier, Nova kidnapped a few more arrancars and took them to the Urahara for his research.
This night was the same as Nova was carrying another pitiful arrancar to Urahara Shop.
A rift appeared inside the shop revealing Nova and an arrancar. Urahara was waiting for Nova and welcomed him to his shop.
Nova put the arrancar down and nodded, asking if Urahara made a progress. Urahara told him about his little progress which was good for Nova.
When Nova was about to leave Urahara asked him if he wanted to drink a tea with him. Nova agreed to this happily and sat down waiting for tea.
Shortly after, a man came in carrying teas for Urahara and Nova. They took each tea and sipped slowly appreciating the wonders of tea, peacefully.
But the peace wasn't permanent as both of them felt strong spiritual energy, startling both of them. Nova was in deep thought as he didn't hear about something like this from Tier.
"It's Grimmjow." Nova said.
"Grimmjow? Is he an Espada perhaps since you know his name?" Urahara asked.
"Yes. He is 6th Espada." Nova commented while sipping on his tea slowly. Nova didn't care about what Grimmjow came here for.
Hearing this Urahara was wondering why an Espada came here but he just left it to the shinigamis as he too sipped his tea and asked "Isn't the tea is good?"
"Yes." Nova replied and finished his tea. "I am gonna speculate the fight between arrancer and shinigamis. Wanna tag along?" asked cheerfully.
"Nah, I'm good~" Urahara replied in a childish tone. "But can you save if an orange-haired boy in trouble?" asked which Nova just nodded as he was pretty interested in Ichigo. At first, he was interested in Ichigo due to him emitting a hollow, a shinigami, and a quincy spiritual energy at the same time which didn't last long. But after noticing Aizen was interested in Ichigo, Nova once again becomes interested in Ichigo.

After Grimmjow and Tosen left, Ichigo was left there. He was beaten badly as he couldn't excerpt the energy to stand up.
Suddenly a man appeared in front of him.
The man had messy black hair and purple eyes, as well as the standard outfit of an arrancar which alerted Ichigo.
Ichigo pointed his sword at the man and asked "Who are you?"
"I came here to bring you to Urahara Shop." Nova replied.
"U-Urahara?" Ichigo was dumbfounded.
