Bleach: The Lost Order
Episode 8: Into the Fray
The Captains and Goro stood outside in the hills above the entrance to Las Noches 2.0. They were all wearing Arrancar robes, their hands resting on their Zanpakutos and their gaze resting on Soul Society, which had almost finished tearing into their dimension.
Roku: It's time.
The other Captains and Goro all nodded.
Goro: HOLLOWS, ASSEMBLE!!
The ground below the Captains' feet began to rumble. The shaking became more and more severe when suddenly, black figures began to shoot out of the mouth of the cave, taking formation in front of its mouth. It soon became clear that each of these black figures were Hollows. At first, only Menos Grandes were shooting out of the cave. There must have bene hundreds of these Hollows. Then, Adjuchas began to flow out of the cave. After a few dozen Adjuchas, three gigantic Vasto Lordes emerged from the cave, followed by a single smaller figure, dwarfed by the size of the Vasto Lordes.
Goro: Commander! Report to me.
Roku: You have a Vasto Lorde Commander? Must be difficult to control.
Goro: Hah. Not exactly.
The figure that had trailed the Vasto Lordes out of the cave jumped up to the Captains' and Goro's position. The figure was an Arrancar, with long, messy hair and an eccentric, revealing outfit.
?????: Yes, my King?
Ragnaroc: "King"? O_O
Goro: Shut up, buzzkill. If I want them to call me "King", they'll do it >.> Commander Liliana. We are beginning our assault on Soul Society. Open up a Garganta into Hueco Mundo, and then open up another Garganta from Hueco Mundo back into this dimension just above Soul Society's current position.
Liliana: *cackles* This is going to be SO much fun!!
Goro: You are to lead the rest of the Hollows in the frontal assault. The Captains and I will enter from the other side of Soul Society, and reinforce you by flanking the Shinigami.
Liliana: They'll never know what hit them!!
Liliana turned to the other Hollows.
Liliana: Brothers and sisters, today we will have our revenge!!!!
Liliana returned to the other Hollows and started to create a very large Garganta.
Goro: We're the last of our kind, she and I...
Emperor: What do you mean? There are so many Hollows left.
Goro: No, I mean we're the last Arrancars. She and I are all that's left. It's good that she's so optimistic about this battle. She doesn't realize that we're so outnumbered by the Shinigami.
Roku: You're right. We probably won't be returning from this battle. But the Shinigami can never destroy the Hollows forever. You all are living proof of that. As long as Shinigami exist, Hollows will exist. Even if we don't make it out of this alive, we will be avenged sometime in the future.
Kaze: And before we die, we might as well give them hell.
Goro: ...Open a Senkaimon.
Ragnaroc: You have a Jigokucho?
Goro: Actually, yes.
Goro closed his hands together, and when he opened them, a single Jigokucho sat in his right palm, flexing its black wings.
Ragnaroc: Where did you get that? O_O
Goro: Let's just say... it wasn't mine to begin with.
Goro handed the Jigokucho to Roku, who began to open a Senkaimon.
Ragnaroc: No seriously, who did you take it from?
Goro: I took it from someone a long time ago... just drop it, Rag.
Ragnaroc: But why- .... Oh.... It was mine, wasn't it?
Goro: Oh, hey, look! The gate's opening.
The Senkaimon had opened completely. The Captains and Goro stepped in, and the door shut behind them.
Goro: All right. Roku, take us to the far end of Soul Society - the end that hasn't yet crossed over into Earth.
Roku: Got it.
Meanwhile, on the top of the Seireitei Hill, Captain Commander Yammamoto stood alone, looking over into Earth. A young Shinigami ran up to Yammamoto from behind, panting.
Shinigami: Captain Commander! A Senkaimon has opened in the far edge of Soul Society, near the prison block.
Yammamoto: Ahh, our good friends the ex-Captains. Summon the rest of the Captains from their posts. Tell them to meet me here.
Shinigami: Yes, Captain Commander.
Near the prison block of Soul Society, the Captains and Goro exited the Senkaimon.
Emperor: Not a very smooth ride, Roku >.<
Roku: Don't blame me... the Jigokucho was old... And it was Rag's.
Ragnaroc: -_0
Kaze: Check it out... it's the Maggot's Nest.
The Captains and Goro took a moment to stare at the ominous black door that was the entrance to the Maggot's Nest. Oddly enough, it was unguarded.
Goro: The Maggot's Nest... that's the prison block, isn't it?
Roku: Yes. It's the area where people deemed "a danger to Soul Society" are held.
Goro: Interesting... perhaps we can find some allies there.
Roku: The odd thing is, it's usually surrounded by guards. But it seems Yammamoto has recruited everyone for his invasion force.
Goro: That'll make breaking in easier. Cero!
Goro fired a concentrated Cero at the door of the Maggot's Nest. It exploded into pieces, falling apart immediately.
Goro: After you.
They all cautiously stepped through the broken door into the Maggot's Nest, and slowly proceeded down the stone staircase into the detention center's main cavern. The sound of water dripping from the cielings was loud and constant, almost mournful. They pulled the main cavern's large metal door open, and stepped through into the dimly lit cave. The Captains were taken aback by what they saw.
Goro: ...Sh*t.
The floor of the cavern was dotted with deformed Hollows. Some seemed fused together. Others had simply had parts of them removed. All of them were dead, soaked in pools of their own blood.
Emperor: Yammamoto was... experimenting on them?!
Goro: Some of these masks are even... familiar... At least now he's ended their sufferring. I can't even begin to imagine what they had to endure.
Roku: Let's move on... Maybe there are some left in the individual cells.
They continued onwards, stepping over the mutilated bodies of the Hollows and into the area with separate cells.
Goro: BROTHERS! IT IS I, GORO! I am here to free you! Speak up now!
They were all silent for a moment, listening for any sound. Everything was quiet.
Roku: Looks like -
Ragnaroc: Wait!
The Captains began to hear a soft wheezing noise coming from one of the cells near them.
Ragnaroc: Quickly, open it up!
Goro whipped open the door of the cell. In the corner, there was a figure sitting with his head resting on his knees. He was wearing a black outfit with a tattered white robe on top.
Ragnaroc: No way.
The figure slowly turned, and soon the other Captains could see his face.
Roku: Bishamon!
Bishamon's expression was completely blank, and his face was purple with bruises and cuts. There was a circular scar on the top of his forehead. He tried to say something, but it was too soft for the other Captains to hear. Roku leaned in to listen closer.
Bishamon: T...tr....
Roku: What?
Bishamon: ...Trap
Suddenly, Bishamon's body exploded in a gigantic burst of black flames.
