With the Captains suffering casualties and heavy injuries on their side, all hope seemed to be lost... until Shinji Hirako appeared, along with the rest of the former Shinigami. Though the aid of the Vizards certainly helped to draw the battle in their favor, it seemed Aizen's power alone proved too much for them.
Directly above one of the city's larger hospitals three massive tears within the very sky itself ripped right open, opening up as great maws of torrent abyssal black darkness swirling chaotically within. From the left and right massive tears a Gillian slithered its way out with hordes of minor Hollows pouring out from behind the pair. The minor Hollows flooded into defenseless hospital where they attacked any and every human in sight, and feasted upon the souls of those they killed - the weak, the dying, the recovering, the healthy - they were not particular.
Two Gillians floated their the east and west wings of the hospital. Their long, lanky arms extending from their gigantic cloak-like bodies. The spidery fingered hands of their arms smashed down upon the rooftops of the massive hospital. The walls of the and roofs of the great structure of the hospital cracked and shattered. The windows exploded as the glass was unable to with stand the pressure of the strikes dealt to the immense building. While inside ruin and death was being brought to any every defenseless citizen of the city who had the misfortune of being inside to hospital as the horde of Hollows sought their meals from the populace of this particular hospital at large.
From the swirling abyssal throat of the center ripped open maw in the sky above the hospital a massive Hollow even slightly taller than either of the two Gillians, crawled its way out. Its massive bulky lumbering body landed in the hospital parking lot, the ground violently shook and shattered around its feet. A wispy sort of darkness seemed to resonate off of its body of pure dense spiritual blackness. Covering its face is a white mask that is utterly faceless, lacking even slits for eyes, it simply held no features. It rose to its full height upon its landing in the parking lot and lumbered its way toward the central wing of the hospital.
From the behind the gigantic Hollow, stepping out from the center abyssal maw in the sky walked out a little girl looking to be in her mid-teens. The hole in her chest, the flowing white robe-like dress with its black trim, the dense bones rising out of her right hand from her pale skin, and her long flowing pink hued hair - it was Vaaz, one of Gin's Arrancar. With a tiny sigh of seeming boredom, she took a seat on the edge of the opened Garganta she appeared from, sitting on its edge as though she were sitting on top of a wall like a teenage kid just sort of there to hang out. Crossing her right leg over her right knee, she rested the elbow of her right arm on her right knee, and held her head in her right hand looking a bit bored. It was as if her just having unleashed three massive Hollows and the horde of minor Hollows accompanying them to slaughtered the couple thousand people within the hospital was the last thought on her mind - even disinterested her.
A few miles east of the hospital, a shinigami stood under the shadow of a tree. The gust of wind made his long cloak dance and the strands of hair on his head pushed to the side. The shinigami had his eyes closed as if he were in a state of meditation. When all of a sudden, multiple hollow reiatsu's caught his attention, Jube's eyes opened as he turned slowly too look in he direction of the source. Although he had a straight face, the shock in eyes couldn't be hidden, he had never such a variety of hollows in one place at once. This was no coincidence that all this hollows chose to attack the hospital. Jube quickly kicked off the ground and used shunpou, dashing towards the location as fast as he could.
He knew that someone had to be behind all this, he one hundred percent certain that it was an Arrancar. Jube arrived at the scene, landing on the rooftop of a house, in a Cossac. He stared, in shock as he saw all the hollows and how they were attacking the hospital. Jube could hear the screams of the humans as they were beng devoured by the hollows, eaten alive. Jube gripped the handle of his zanpaktou, and drew it from it's scabbard. He held it out at the side of him, Jube then noticed a serpent like hollow charging at him. He easily avoided the hollows attack by jumping to wards the hollow and moving to the left and cut open it's side with a single swift movement. Blood spilled all over Jube's sleeve on his right side as the hollow fell on the roof dead before it even hit the surface.
Jube stood in mid-air as if standing on solid ground, his eyes fixed on the hollows. But then he noticed someone else, now that he was closer he could more clearly sense reiatsu, to no surprise to the shinigami it was an Arrancar. Jube stared at the Arrancar, he could charge her and fight with her, but the humans were in need of help, and there were no other shinigami around. Jube made the decision he would help the humans, and then deal with the Arrancar. The shinigami rushed forward with a burst of speed. As he made his way to wards the hollows, his first targets were the giants, the minor hollows were of no concern easily killed off with a single strike. But the much more powerful and bigger, Gillian was a bigger threat.
Matsori had been running when he tripped over some debri near the hospital. He looked up to see a horrific sight unfolding at the hospital. While he was looking he didnt notice several hollows sneak up behind him. All at once they attacked, and one actually hit him in the frenzy, clamping its jaws on his shoulder. Matsori struggled and he was sure he was gonna die, because the others were closing in on him. A single tear dropped down his face.. and that did it. he became enraged immediately. It was these things that had killed his brother, and now they were going to try to do the same thing to him?! He didnt think so. His eyes glowed bright red as he picked up the nearby pipe. His reiatsu seemed to engulf the pipe as he raised it over his head. He finally let it go down onto the hollow's mask. The mask cracked a bit on the impact. Then the crack turned into a crater, then the crater into splinters of destroyed mask. The creature let out a final roar before it fizzed into nothingness. Then he faced the other two monsters. He let out a yell. a yell full of anger and hate. He then jumped over to the cat-looking monster, and smashed its mask with his pipe (of pwnage.) The hollow recoiled and got a big crack in its mask. Matsori appeared above the wretched hollow and smashed its mask with his pipe, breaking it into pieces. This hollow, too, faded into nothing. The third one was small and had a sword-like hand. It rushed at Matsori, trying to hack and slash him violently. Matsori blocked all this with his pipe, and then cracked it over the head. Its mask broke at this one hit and it faded into nothingness without as much as a grunt of pain....
The little Arrancar's head raised off of her hand then second she perceived a Shinigami's reiastu as she was there sitting on the lip of the center Garganta high above the hospital. Her soft little lips curled into a smile, she pushed off of the Ganganta's edge as though she were rising to a stand off of a chair she had been sitting on. She walked across the air a good thirty or so meters ahead of the Ganganta. Raising her right hand level with her head she made a loud snap with her fingers.
Simultaneously both of the Gillians begun charging up their large slow, ponderous Ceros to unleash upon the designated hospital wings they were being manipulated to destroy. It was also in that moment the massive featureless masked Hollow that lumbered its way for the central main wing of the hospital paused and blared out an ear deafening pained roar as it through back its arms raising its torso to the sky. Its spiritual pressure increased astoundingly - it is a horrid, dense reiastu expressing nothing more than a twisted agony. Vaaz's lips curled a little more into a slightly larger smile.
Her wakizashi zanpakuto as always still held in her left hand, she crossed her left arm under her chest, while her right elbow rested upon left wrist. She raised her left hand to her chin idly tapping her index finger on her chin as if pondering something as she looked down upon the carnage she unleashed. Those blood red eyes of hers just stared down upon it all, they once blinked or batted an eye at the sight of so many, so many innocents being torn limb from limb while being feasted upon. The poor souls of those humans who were killed but on eaten were, their souls were left to be more food for those attacking Hollows... or to become Hollows themselves in time.
Vaaz tilted her head a little during her pondering... Did she reach some sort of conclusion for her next move...?
She looked a bit displeased at the situation, as if... hoping for something more... as she uttered in her dissatisfaction, "That isn't going to help them any... You're going to need more allies...", but whom was she speaking to, the Shinigami as if he could hear her, the rampaging human, herself...?
Jube stopped completely, as he saw with his own eyes everything that was about to unfold. The result would be catastrophic, but he couldn't stop them all he had noticed how the Arrancar had basically ordered the Gillian to do what she wanted. So there was now a change of plan, Jube would have to ignore the cries of the humans, which wasn't to hard for someone who believed humans were no longer worth protecting. Now he turned his head staring at the Arrancar with his piercing gaze coming from those hazel eyes. His new target was the Arrancar, Jube used shunpou to dash to wards her at full speed Jube was covering distance fast and nearing his target more and more. Every now and then a weak hollow would get in his way, but he would easily dispose of them. When Jube was within reach, he wasted no time with words he brought his sword up and then down for a diagnal swing aimed at the Arrancar's torso.

Yakamo had been walking by the hospital where he saw the most disturbing site. A bunch of minor hollows were killing humans. He looked around and saw a human, shinigami, and arrancar. Seeing the shinigami not helping the humans , he took action himself and began killing hollows in his way. He then saved the humans in the hospital.
A large garganta opened next to Vaaz. A loud shriek filled the air as two menos grande gillians walked out and fired two cero's at the hospital. Haburi, standing a mere 5'10", walked out after the gillians. Haburi walked till he stood next to Vaaz and stared at the gillians which walked towards the hospital.
"Sorry for the wait....."
Haburi spoke emotionlessly with his hands in his pockets. He felt it was useless to pick on such weaklings.
Simultaneously the pair of Gillians unleashed their massive Ceros blasts into the respective hospital wings either one has been charged with to destroy. The bright red blasts of spiritual energy completely guts and rips apart the hospitals wings obliterating humans and minor Hollows alike caught within it. The Gillians did not stop there, they continued with their long lanky arms and spidery fingers extending from their cloak like bodies trashing and ripping apart whatever rubble was left from the ripped east and west wings of the hospital. Who can say how many hundreds of innocents were annihilated within that moment.
Vaaz tilted her head a little as she felt the Shinigami's reiastu approaching her, and the flash step coming for her was long expected given how high she is up in the air above the hospital, she saw him coming a ways off. Before the blade swung at her strike her - she vanished the clear static-like sound of the Sonido, was a clear indication of how. She came to view just beyond the Shinigami as if disinterested in fighting him. She snapped her fingers again, the two Gillians only seemed to rampage even more as they continued their ponderous, slow moments though clearly destructive methods to the hospital.
Those blood red eyes of hers fixated on the gigantic lumbering featureless masked Hollow that walked for the central wing of the hospital. She looked over her shoulder at the Shinigami as she remarked with that unblinking stare of hers, "You made the wrong judgment, Shinigami... I'm not the problem.", she pointed at the gigantic Hollow as it begun bounding toward the hospital into a sprint, each running step thundered and crack the earth beneath it shaking the ground, "That thing is."
With another blinding step with the static-y sound of a Sonido, she appeared to the Shinigami's left a healthy distance created between them, "I have zero interest in fighting you Shinigami... And I am not the one slaughtering the humans as those Hollows are... I'm simply the one who told them to, that's all.", she states this like someone who is confused as to what exactly an enemy. Vaaz then looked to the other Arrancar who just arrived, "It is not a problem.", she responds to him.

Yakamo looked out the window seeing the ceros. He god stepped out the window onto the next building's roof top. Yakamo fired three arrows at the gillians' heads and killed them. notcing the arrancar, he felt a cold chill run down his spine. He walked three more steps and stopped.

Moving swiftly from building to building using the quincy gold step. Yakamo could still feel the strong spiritual pressure almost menacing. His brain told him to be prepared and stay. He couldn't leave the humans if they were alive and even so he didn't have any healing powers. These thoughts bothered him.
