Prologue

"How long has it been...? How long since that bloody fiasco...?"

How long has it been since the treacherous Captain Aizen Sosuke orchestrated one of the biggest betrayals in the history of the Gotei 13? Since he and his two followers, fellow captains, took to Hueco Mundo and raised an army of Arrancar to destroy the Seireitei? How long since he transcended the bounds of Shinigami or Arrancar and nearly brought an end to all as we know it? Few are alive who could tell you. Quietly, Aizen has sat in his prison, guarded at all times by the now long-standing order to never allow his release; biding his time as he awaits his rise. But certainly this could never happen, right?

That's what we all thought.

These past hundred years, things have taken an unexpected turn. Hueco Mundo has settled and things are quiet. The affairs of the Gotei 13 at their most peaceful. One would think these things, wonderful...but others know better.

It is the calm before the storm.

Unbeknownst to the Shinigami, someone has been gathering forces in the palace of Las Noches, Aizen's former base of operations. The Arrancar numbers have been increasing. Even within their own home of the Seireitei, certain individuals have begun to move suspiciously. Yet Aizen still sits in his prison and all seems well. However the transcendental being smiles to himself in his confinement. Just what could be happening? For what reason could Sosuke Aizen smile when an eternity of solitary confinement stands before him? With his smile has come a foreboding cloud that has settled over the Shinigami of the Gotei 13. And all have come to feel it....

Something is coming....


Aizen will Rise Again.
