Recap: "If something happens to my sisters or father, please help them. I have already told them about you, Tessai, and the kids."

"No need to worry about them. I will keep them safe in your stead," Urahara said.

As they set things up, a voice chimed from behind him. "You look pretty pathetic, Ichigo."

Ichigo turned to see Uryū with a different Quincy uniform, sitting close by with a slight smirk on his face… and Chad standing beside him.

The orange-haired boy moved his palm over his face once, already deciding to not ask anything, and just be grateful.

When the two finally got a look at his face, it was his usual stern, but thankful expression. "Maybe I haven't said this enough… but thank you, guys."

The two just waved it off, as Urahara put up the finishing touches.

"Good! Are you guys ready?" Urahara asked.

With synchronized nods received, the shop owner jumped into the air onto a long wooden platform sticking out of the rock, where another one stood across him. "Give me just a moment… and you'll have one path to Hueco Mundo."

Urahara set the end of his cane down on the ground and sat on one knee, starting the incantation.

"My right hand is the stone which bridges worlds. My left hand is the blade which binds reality. The black-haired shepherd is hung from a chair. Stratus clouds come, and I strike the ibis!" A blue glow shot out from Urahara's hand and struck the other wooden platform. Seconds later, a large black slit opened in reality, which both Ichigo and Ishida recognized as a Garganta.

"There are no pathways inside this Garganta," Urahara spoke from atop the wooden platform. "There is only flowing spirit particles; you will need to use those spirit particles to form a pathway until you reach the end. Voila! Hueco Mundo!"

"I really want to punch him in the face," Altria said.

"You can punch him after we come back," Artoria said.

"Alright then everyone, let's go." Ichigo jumped towards the giant portal with Artoria and Altria with Uryū and Chad following right behind them.

"I'm still so surprised your control is this good Ichigo," Uryū and others followed behind Ichigo's golden-black path of spiritual energy, complimenting him with a shocked tone.

"Shut up," Ichigo said, joking slightly as they both continued sprinting through the Garganta.

"Hey, Uryū, what is up with your sudden boost in the power?" Altria asked.

Ichigo, Artoria, and Chad also looked on curiously, to which Uryū raised his eyebrow for a second, slightly scowling at the memory of Ryūken shooting at him. "Well, I made a deal with my father… then got shot at in a special ritual," he summarized his torture all in one sentence, making Ichigo slightly stumble for a second.

"Well, you're no better. You got attacked by a little girl, had your chain of fate severed, and tossed in a hole to become a Hollow," Altria pointed out to Ichigo with a smirk on her face.
