I was relishing in the taste of a well cooked steak, a rare meal within the walls of Las Noches. The food from Soul Society was scarce and we lost a few hollows every time we sent them to acquire provisions.
In the midst of my meal, Noelle and Esmeralda, my playful daughters, were sitting in my lap. They were in the middle of a fight over a wooden toy that resembled a winged snake.
They had only just returned from their visit to Nel's place, accompanied by Cirucci.
Just as the joyful commotion filled the air, my gaze captured the approach of the always composed Ulquiorra, holding some kind of file in his hand.
Ulquiorra's unblinking green eyes met mine as he spoke.
“Acidwire, I need you to look at this.” He stated, extending the files towards me. “We had an unexpected event.”
Taking the files into my hands, I shifted my gaze from Ulquiorra to the report detailing a recent large-scale operation carried out by a group of Gillians in Karakura Town.
They seemed to have been testing the waters, trying to gauge Urahara’s forces before the war.
“That’s pretty rare of you guys.” I hummed, tilting my head to the side as the wooden toy flew past my head, momentarily distracting me from the report.
Noelle and Esmeralda chased after it, playful, ignoring my sore lap.
I turned to them. “Don’t go too far or Daddy will get angry.”
Their only response was a playful mimicry of a military salute that they had copied from my antics with Aizen.
“Such a joy.” Ulquiorra's voice dripped with sarcasm as he commented on my daughters.
“They can be such a handful.” I responded.
Then, I chuckled lightly, before refocusing on the report in my hands. My eyebrows furrowed as I read through the details.
“So, Grand Fisher managed to sever one of Kurosaki Isshin's arms?” I exclaimed in disbelief. Szayelaporro Granz
That was against all the logic of the original timeline, he was supposed to be defeated by Isshin in one hit. Moreover, from what I had observed during his encounter with Cirucci, Grand Fisher's abilities were far from impressive.
Whatever Granz had done to him was a hell of power up, at least enough to inflict harm on a former captain of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads.
Ulquiorra's voice remained cold and devoid of emotion as he continued.
“As you can see, this situation falls outside of our planned scenarios. Lord Aizen believes Urahara Kisuke will seize this opportunity to strengthen Kurosaki Isshin under the guise of healing his arm.”
I hummed. It was an unexpected development, one I was glad for. The stronger Aizen's adversaries become, the more profound his despair will be when we finally defeat him.
“Let me guess, you want me to infiltrate the human world once again, right?” I asked, a tinge of annoyance in my voice. “But it will be harder this time, considering Urahara is aware of my ability to manipulate other hollows.”
Ulquiorra blinked, his expression hard to read as he pondered the predicament.
“That won’t be necessary.” He finally said. “Instead, we want you to investigate Urahara's collection of kido spells while we assess the level of threat posed by Kurosaki Ichigo.”
I widened my eyes, I had forgotten that part of the story. At this point, Ichigo was afraid of his hollow/shinigami powers while his Quincy powers were constantly attempting to restrain them.
It was at this stage that Ulquiorra and Yammy would injure him, along with Chad and my sister, forcing them to train.
“It's quite a challenging task.” I commented, a mischievous smile forming on my lips. “I hope you guys have a fitting reward for this.”
“Upon successfully completing this task, you shall be bestowed the rank of the fourth Espada.” Ulquiorra said, something igniting in his until now lifeless eyes.
He turned away, his demeanor shifting subtly. “Of course, I fully intend to reclaim my position once this is done.”
I smirked at him. “I will be waiting for you to challenge me at any time.”
He walked away, his parting words ringing in my ears. "Do not fail Lord Aizen."
I turned my attention back to my daughters, who had constructed an impressive sandcastle. However, Esmeralda seemed angry as a sand soldier didn’t obey her.
I rose from my seat, I had to punish an unloyal sand soldier before I went to capture an infiltration type hollow for my mission

Omake: Blood
Sado Yatsutora looked down at his arms, wondering how he could become stronger.
“That captain was quite strong.” Sado said, remembering the drunk captain of the thirteen squadrons who liked to wear pink.
“Even my brazo del diablo failed to injure him.” He pondered.
A memory of his mentor Renato resurfaced.
Sado could almost remember it like a cartoon.
Back then, Renato had said: “One easy way to strengthen your Fullbringer is to seduce a female Fullbringer, while she is busy snuggling up to you, you can steal her powers. It works one hundred out of one hundred times.”
“I would have to seduce a girl. No… I don’t have to.” Sado said, before erasing the memory and the name of his mentor. “I have to get stronger on my own.”
