"A friend?" Indigo Fog asked, wanting to make sure.

" Yes. " Hoshi said.

Indigo Fog nodded, making sure not to hit Tier with any of her illusions. She didn't want any ally of her User to get hurt accidentally.

Hoshi was glad that Tier was here and noticed that she had two swords. " Indigo-chan, does Tier-San have a zanpaktou?"

"Not just one, but two!" Indigo responded in shock. "She currently has both of them in Shikai status as well..." the spirit said, surprised.

" Wonder why that is. " Hoshi said and did like Tier.

"You can ask her after all of this is over Hoshi!" Indigo responded before moving her arm so as to block the claws of a Hollow that was coming towards them.

Katia shot at the hollows and didn't like it that the hollows were still surrounding them.

Ichigo focused his reiatsu onto Zangetsu as the Getsuga that he usually launched as a wave of pressurized energy now only extended the blade immensely, almost as if he had copied Gin Ichimaru's Zanpakuto. Having it pierce a Hollow in it's mask, he let the energy leave before recharging it again catching a Hollow that was about to hit Tatsuki.

Tatsuki was glad Ichigo to get that how and didn't like it how more were coming in.

"You okay Tatsu?" Ichigo asked as he stood back to back with her, wondering why there were so many Hollows at the moment. He was sure that none of the Quincies he knew had that Hollow bait...and even if they did, he had a feeling they weren't as stupid as Uryuu was in using it...

" I'll be fine. Don't think this a work of a Quincy.Maybe Stark?" She asked and dodged a claw.

"Maybe," he responded. "I'm going to check on Star-chan and Katia-chan. Will you be okay Ryu-hime?" Ichigo asked.

" I will. " Tatsuki said with a smirk.

Ichigo nodded before speeding towards Hoshi and Katia, not realizing that Tier was there as well.

Tier fought and knew Ichigo was nearby. She was glad for the extra help since she sensed Stark was close by.

Ichigo didn't know who the new Arrancar was, but if she was helping them rather than trying to hurt them, then he wouldn't attack. Besides, if he did that it would be as if her were attacking Nel...shaking his head lightly at that, he swung at the Hollow that was affected by Indigo Fog's Illusion Cloud.

" It's me Ichigo. I hope you are impressed. " Tier said and continued to fight the hollows.

"I'd rather not answer that seeing as Ryu-hime would kill me if she found out I answered that question, though I'm glad you're now on our side, if what I heard from Toushiro is true," Ichigo stated.

" It's true. My Fraccion are here as well fighting with us. " Tier said.

Ichigo nodded at that before raising zangetsu up, allowing the giant sword to block a bullet that would have hit Tier. Granted that it wouldn't do any damage to her thanks to the armor, but it would have still gotten her attention all the same. "And I guess that's the bastard who's been doing all this," he muttered.

" That it is. " Tier said and turned to where Stark was.

Stark smirked lightly as he saw all of his targets in front of him: Tier Hallibel, as well as Hoshi and Katia Matsuda. Of course Ichigo was just an extra bonus.

" You looked scared. " Tier said to Stark wanting him to doubt his ability to defeat her.

"Please. I beat you back then when we were all under Aizen, I can definitely beat you now," Stark replied.
