Starting over

Chapter 29

In Memphis Egypt, Aizen was sitting at a small café sipping on some coffee. He was wearing a white button shirt and brown trousers. His hair was brushed back down as he had years ago, and he was wearing glasses. In front of him were some documents. He let a soft chuckle leave his lips. "How interesting. They already consider me dead even though I asked him not to do anything unnecessary."

The door opened with a slight slam, gaining attention. "Man, this place was hard to find!" A loud voice rings out. Ignoring the onlookers, a pair of eyes landed on Aizen. "There you are!" Walking over to him the stranger sat in front of him with a grin on his face. "You are quite hard to track down you know." Aizen puts his coffee down and sighs. "For a man of your talents you are quite loud, Ginjo. I would have thought you wanted to keep a low profile since you are working for me now."

Ginjo chuckled. "I work for the highest bidder. Sure, that haggard old King Jetter and that lunatic Dante got money but what I want is something a little bit more. I think sticking with you can bring me that." Aizen leans on his elbow. "Is that right? Very well then. You may do as you please. Do you have what I asked of you?" "Yup." Ginjo pulled out a folder that was hidden in his jacket. "All the information you asked for is in here. They are located in East Asia currently. Do you want me to hunt them down?" "No, leave them be." Aizen says taking the folder. "She did so much to run and hide from me. Eventually, she will come back and bring him along with her." He opened the folder. "The city thinks you're dead now. What will you do?" "Mhmm...wait and rebuild. My plan was set back but I figured as much. That little building of mine was just a simple stepping stone. I say in about 12 years I'll make my move and claim what is mine."

Ginjo chuckled. "I see. 12 years is a long time to prepare but it's not like I have anything else to do. I hope you don't mind but I investigated the rest of your associates. You still have many followers. Two of them are in solitary confinement. A few dead. And the others are turncoats. You keep interesting company." Aizen smiles. "I never attended to have them all the way to the end. This works just fine." He writes something down on the file that had been in front of him earlier. "I would like for you to head back and keep observing them and if a little push is needed then so be it." Ginjo smirked. "It shall be done." He got up and yawn. "Time for work but, first some food." Aizen watched as Ginjo took his leave. He looked back down at the file and smiled. "She named him Atlas after the famous titan who carried the heavens on his shoulders. How fitting for a pawn."

Early morning on September 7th, the skies were still dark, and the city stood quiet. At the airport, two cars pulled up. They drove to the center where there were two private planes waiting. The cars came to a stop and turned off. The door opened and Grimmjow got out with a yawn. Oichi got out the passenger side holding a sleeping, Cyrus. She was still wearing her PJs. A panda shirt and pants pair and a scarf on her head. She looked at her watch. It was 6:30 and the sun wasn't up just yet. 'Everyone should be on their way here.' The car next to her, the door opened and Ulquiorra stepped out. Jess stepped out with a yawn. She was wearing a poison Ivy shirt and matching pants. "So early." She says rubbing her eyes.

Grimmjow pops the trunks and starts getting the luggage. Ulquiorra did the same while Oichi and Jess got the kids. Moments later, more cars started to pull up. Ichigo and Orihime with their children. Tatsuki and Noah road with them. Chad, Mila, the kids, and Uryu who road with them. Ikkaku, Mizuho, Yumichika, and Emma. Izzy drove up with Yoshiro, Jinta, Yuzu, Moe, and Karin. Behind them was Ben with Riruka and Amanda. Hisagi, Florina, Kira, and Darrius were next to pull in, and following them were Momo, Toshiro, Rangiku, and Gin. The groups started to pull out their luggage as even more people started to fill in.

"How many people did you invite..." Grimmjow says. "All of our friends. You do realize we have a lot, right?" Oichi says. "I'll go put Cy on the plane and come back for the girls and Kenny." Grimmjow nods.
