Ichigo: They can steal Bankai?!

(Y/N): But how? Wouldn't that be like... I don't know... stealing a part of someone's soul?

Akon: I'm hesitant to believe myself. But there's no room for doubt. This information from the captains of Squads 2, 6, 7 and 10, who all have had all their Bankai stolen from them.

(Y/N): No way... That would mean Soi-Fon, Captain Byakuya, Captain Komamura and Captain Hitsugaya are fighting at a disadvantage.

"I can tell you a little more about the enemies' abilities."

(Y/N): Mr. Urahara?

Urahara had joined the phone conversation somehow.

Urahara: During you and Kurosaki's battle, I tried to gather as much information as I could about your opponent. You did the same, haven't you (Y/N)?

(Y/N): I did my best.

Urahara: The very first is Vollstandig. This ability produces the most obvious and striking changes to their fighting capabilities and appearance. But there's little I can say about it beyond what you've already experienced. The second is the ability your enemy referred to as "Blut". By releasing Reishi directly in their veins, they can drastically increase their offensive and defensive abilities. It doesn't seem like they can increase both at the same time though.

(Y/N): I overheard that Quilge guy saying that he needed to "advise his Majesty to adjust their Blut". Whatever that means.

Urahara: That is something to keep in mind as we gather more information. It could be important later. Lastly, the third ability that these Quincies possess is "Bankai Plundering". Just as you heard from Mr. Akon, they are able to steal an enemy's Bankai using these metal plates that they carry upon their person. Precisely how this ability works, I intend to determine through careful analysis of the plate your opponent was carrying. But the important thing right now is that both you and Kurosaki's Bankai alone seems to be completely unaffected.

(Y/N): That's an interesting thought. What makes us different from everyone else?

Urahara: I don't have any explanation for this just yet, beyond wild speculation. But I do suspect that the enemy chose this timing to launch the invasion of Soul Society specifically because you and Kurosaki were occupied in Hueco Mundo and unable to go to their aid. The enemy sees you two as a threat more than anyone else. And that's why it is important that you go to Soul Society.

(Y/N): A threat, huh?

~~~~

Quilge: The Daten that His Majesty gave us included information about you. You were listed as a "Special Threat" that we should prioritize dealing with!

~~~~

(Y/N): *thinking* Why did they go out of their way to target Hueco Mundo just to get our attention? They could've easily sent a bunch of soldiers to the World of the Living and we would've defended the place with our lives...

!!!

(Y/N): *thinking* Of course, to kill two birds with one stone! Their natural enemies are the hollows. They could take over the Hollow's stronghold while luring their "Special Threats" into their new territory.

Wait a minute... Hollows, Natural enemies, Bankai stealing...

(Y/N): Mr Urahara, I have a theory.

Urahara: Really? And what might that be?

(Y/N): Perhaps the reason why our Bankai wasn't stolen is because we're a hybrid. A Hollow hybrid in particular.

Urahara: You're suggesting Quincy's spiritual pressure rejects the hollow reiatsu in both of your Bankai. That would make sense why they chose two specifically to isolate from everyone else. Regardless, this is a dangerous battle. I'll join you two as soon as I'm able. Please do be careful not to take on more than you can handle.
