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.
Histugaya was set to return from a mission in the real world, which was to kill a mass group of hollows that happened to be in the area, once they when they were all killed Histugaya begins to make his way toward the gate leading back to the Soul Society little did he know that it would send him to one of places he hated the most.
Histugaya then steps threw the gate unaware that the someone had rigged the path ahead of him and made it send him to the White desert, after arriving out of the other side Histugaya begins to get ready to speak to the guards on the other end, when he finds himself in the desert, and the gate shut behind him.
After Histugaya took a moment to get his bearings he is soon swamped by hollows, with that he flash steps and begins to move around the outside cutting them down with little ease, after he had erased them all from the face of the earth, he looks behind him only to see a second gate open, he then holds his Zanpakuto towards the gate waiting for whatever may enter
Areno, a member of the fourth squad, was what walked throught the gates. The bald, teenage looking, egyptian shinigami had been returning to Seireitei from a trip to his former home land of egypt, to buy some items only availiable there, when he too had been sent to the white desert. Fortunately, he came out near Toushiro who had wiped out a large group of hollows. The gate closed with a snap behind him and he turned to stare at the space it had come from and then turned back to look at Toushiro. He instantly went down on one knee and bowed his head.
"Hitsugaya-taichou. It is an honour to meet you at last." he said quietly. "It is a shame we could not meet in a less foreboding place. My name is Areno Yakuzai, a member of the 4th squad." Due to his extensive research of many things he knew of the white desert in Hueco mundo. "From the golden desert of Egypt, to the white desert of Hueco Mundo." He rose to his feet and shook his head. Thankfully he was used to deserts being egyptian. He did not know quite what to do. He doubted Toushiro did either so did not ask him the usual panicky what shall we do questions. Instead he said this.
"Well, we've gotta find a way out, contact someone to open a garganta, or hope someone comes save us. The last one is very unlikely to happen, but the second is pretty much impossible because I don't know or have read of anyway to talk to someone across dimensions." He shrugged and dusted himself off. "That leaves option one: find or create a way out. I can't create a garganta.....its a very difficult kido apparently and the book Kurotsuchi-taichou wrote on the subject of Hueco Mundo, which included instructions on the garganta, is very hard to obtain a copy of. Can you create one Toushiro-taichou?" He had heard that although Toushiro didn't use kidou very often he was quite skilled. It was likely he had some training from Momo Hinamori.
"If not we best get looking and keep our eyes and ears open. Someone got you here for a reason. I think....I was just caught in whatever sent you here because I was using the Senkaimon at the same time. They wouldn't want me for anything special. I'm just your average 4th squadder, not even seated. Whoever brought you here doesn't want you to go on a picnic....I think they plan for this desert to be your grave or maybe just want you out of the way for some plan." The young man known as Areno was a practical and analystical person and looked for the best answer to any problem. He looked at Toushiro. "Even if it costs my my life Taichou I am going to help you get back to Soul Society, they need you. We need to move fast and get out of here quickly."
Histugaya looked to the young Soul reaper with a rather worried look hearing that he would give his life for a captain that didn’t sit well with Histugaya, to many people have died already with that he looks to Areno and speaks saying well lowering his blade. “It wouldn’t matter here I know some kido that would help us, but going on what you said if this trap was meant for me then they would of blocked me using any type of kido, and as for that book there only one person who could make one and he’s not here.
But first things first we need to find out what part we are in, if we near Aizens old Fortress, chances are they would of picked up my arrival, so keep your wits about you, I think you may of just been in the wrong place at the wrong time, but we both going to get out of here is that understood, how’s your sword skills you may need them in the time to come With that Histugaya sleeves his sword again and begins to walk towards what looks like a building to the east.
“ So tell me what where you’re doing using the gate in the first place is forbidden unless you have the word of the commander, but if anyone going to get back it will be you, if i have to remain here to fight whatever brought me here so be it I won’t let you die well not in place like this. Histugaya sees Areno as one of his squad so he will do all he can to protect him.
"As you say Taichou." he replied calmly as he followed Hitsugaya towards the building. "I was sent to my former home in Egypt to pick up some medicinal herbs only availiable there." He thought about combat situations. "I am a member of the fourth squad so i'm more a healer then a fighter, but I am skilled in Kido and I can use a blade when necessary." He thought about the captain's last words. "If it comes to only one being sent back I will push you through the portal. The captain's are the strength of Seireitei and we have already lost enough." He looked at him. "Leaving you here would cause much pain and suffering for all of Seireitei. I will not let that happen to save my own life."
He thought about the situation. If it was a trap it was a very poor one. It would of been best to have hollow and arrancar attacking them as soon as they got here to try and weaken them and tire them out and then have a strong one finish them off. Then again Hollow's were beasts and an advanced beast was still a beast so perhaps they had not thought the plan through fully. "Hitsugaya-taichou. If you believe they have stopped you using kidou...wouldn't it be better to test if you can or not?" he asked. "I will also test incase the transportation severed my kidou." He pointed a finger at the ground. "Hado 4: Byakurai." A bolt of white lightning launched from his fingertip. He shrugged. "I can still use it."

A door in the seemingly endless desert opened as a white haired shinigami walked through. "Okay now where exactly....am......I?" He looked around in all directions, confused. This definatly wasnt the world of the living. The reiatsu that filled this aera was that of hollows. The only place that could have such a dence air filled with hollow reiatsu could only be, "Hueco Mundo." He took a few steps in the direction of a building before falling to his knees. Clutching his chest. Satsu gasped for air, as bits of his reiatsu poured out, stirring up the sand around him. Hollows swarmed around him in vast numbers, screaming as they crowed closerer and closerer to their desired meal. 'T-this feeling. I, I cant...' One of the hollows made their move, reaching for the agonized Satsu. "Get away from me!" He yelled glaring up at the hollow, the sclera of his eyes turned black, but the pupil remained its normal bright vermillion. He grabbed his sword, his reiatsu growing, becoming twisted as he drew his Zanpakuto.He cut down the hollows in no time flat, smiling as he watched their bodies dissitigrate. "Now sleep." His eyes and reiatsu returned to normal as he contiued walking, reshething his zanpakuto.
"Now, Toshiro has been gone longer then he should have, and apparently somethings wrong with the senkaimon." He let out a sigh as he continued to walk. "What happened earlier? Kinoshin, its as if you suddenly grew in power. Power beyond even your control. Whatever happened, it as something to do with being in Hueco Mundo. I have to find Toshiro and get out of here as soon as possible." With that he began using shunpo in the direction of Los Noches.
"Toshiro!" He yelled as the two shinigami came into site. He stopped next to them, panting slightly. "T-Toshiro, I...found you, and," He glanced over at Areno. "Who exactly are you? Nevermind. Do you have any idea whats going on? The senkaimon is malfunctioning or something." He explained looking around. "I've got a really bad feeling about this."
Well if your kido works. Im sure mine will but if I use mine it could bring more hollows or whatever is hunting us in this lifeless place, and i don’t need you getting killed on me, I just hope they fixed the gate, chances are we on our own, as the commander wont risk losing anyone else, if I know the commander she put a stop on anyone coming or going, just as the young captain and a areno where talking Histugaya can feel the Resitu off Sastu close by but why would he be here, he should be back at the soul society working on his paper work.
Soon after Histugaya hears Sastu voice yelling to him and areno, with that Histugaya looks back to him and speaks saying as he catches up with them “ Third seat Sastu keep your voice down we don’t need any more surprises, and what are you doing here, didn’t you have paperwork to do, but that can wait till we get out of here, we believe someone rigged the gate to bring me here, for what reason I do not know, but yes Sastu something does feel out of place, but your wits about you, we moving to that fortress over there, god forbid if it turns out to be Aizens old base, be ready for one hell of a fight, now move out.
Areno looked at Satsu curiously. There was something about his aura. Something odd, but he couldn't place it. He decided to ignore it for now. It was hard to make any definate decisions on anything when the air wreaked of hollow reiatsu. He continued walking almost in silence. He was conserving his energy for the battles that could possibly be ahead. He was however observing his surroundings. A desert of constant darkness and night. Such a different place from the deserts where he had grown up. Still he felt almost at home here. If it wasn't for the foul stench of hollow that was abundant here and the fact it was a trap then he wouldn't mind this trip at all. It was quite beautiful in its own way. He nodded to Satsu. He had just realised it was rude to not introduce himself.
"Greetings third seat Satsu-san" he said. "My name is Areno Yakuzai." he thought about the situation. "Another one here...I wonder if it is an accident...or is it on purpose....to bring as many shinigami here as possible...and wipe them out perhaps."

Satsu smiled for a second, knowing that his captain was, for the most part, safe. He nodded, "Alright Toshiro, guess I didnt think about any hidden enemies that would hear me." He wore his usual joking smile. "I would of had my paperwork done, but your mission was taking far longer than it should have so I came looking for you to see if, god forbid, something had happened." He explained his situation, his breathing slightly heavy. "And I think you're right. When I tried going through the senkaimon I ended up here."
Noticeing Areno had introduced himself, Satsu turned to greet him. "Very nice to meet you. As you already figured out, I am Third seat of squad ten. Satsu Munashii." He smiled as gave a polite bow.
As he felt his body growing more and more tired for some reason he turned to his captain, giving him a gaze that could almost say 'Its becoming restless'. There were few who knew of Satsu's secret. Several captains, including Captain Hitsugaya. He faked a smile as he turned towards the fortress. "From the reports I've read, I'd have to guess that the building is indeed Las Noches." He took a few steps then looked back at the two. "Regardless, I have a feeling we'll find answers there."
Histugaya smiled as he saw the two seated offices talking, but only he knew what Sastu was, and that could be of help in this place, even if it Brecks protocol but sastu had a point there answers laid deep within the old fortress that use to belong to Aizen and his band off misfits, but the answers even if they where there won’t be unguarded due to what they hold.
“Right i don’t know what we will find in this fortress but chances are there could be espader if that’s the case then stay back and let me and sastu handle it I don’t need to explain to your captain how I let you die, but sastu if needs be ill need you to use that power you told me about it could come in handy
Areno nodded. He could not disobey a direct order from a captain. He was curious as to what this power was. Maybe it was bankai? That would probabaly be it, or maybe it was something to do with this strange aura. "Arrancar are scum, but at least they are not trying to become like the Hollow....Vizard are the worst." he said quietly not realising the gravity of the situation. "If you take care of the espada, I will heal you afterwards, and support you in combat with kidou." It was a good strategy, strike directly and indirectly. "And cover you from any surprise attacks."
