The Worm Hole

A Bleach and Warcraft crossover fiction.

A/N: I've only read up to Volume 24 of the English Dub manga, but I have seen a little further into the anime, as far as episode 128, I believe. I have some sketchy future details, like Orihime gets kidnapped and Grimmjow's powers and such, but in the exact order of things I am clueless, so all Bleach characters and events are somewhat original, sadly. This is a crossover between the manga Bleach and the game World of Warcraft (owned by Tite Kubo and Blizzard Entertainment respectively.)

As for the WoW side, it's based right after 3.1, in which Varian Wrynn retracted his Alliance support from the effort of comradeship with the Horde, who are forced to deal with Ulduar alone.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Rhonin, I don't think this is such a good idea…" Jaina began but the mage raised his hand to her.

"Jaina, thanks to your incompetence Varian has retracted his support against Yogg-Saron and the Horde have not been able to keep Ulduar's magic at bay with so few troops to spare. We need more aid." Rhonin said as he finished the rune inscription on the tablet in front of him.

"But to call out into the Twisting Nether for it…" Jaina began again.

"No, Jaina, the time of consideration is past… now is the time to act!" Rhonin said as he began to rise to the top of the Violet Citadel.

"Rhonin, this is not a good idea! You don't know where that portal will wind up!" Jaina cried.

"It doesn't matter, Jaina… this is our last gamble." He sighed and tore through the roof, Jaina teleported up next to him.

"Stop, Rhonin." A voice cried from above them.

They both looked up to see Darion Morgraine flying down to them on a skeletal gryphon. He landed and stayed Rhonin's hand.

"What is the meaning of this, Darion?" Rhonin hissed.

"You can not open the gateway, Rhonin. It is too dangerous and you know it." Darion said, glaring with his icy eyes behind his helm.

"There is no choice, we need aid. Opening one of these portal's enabled the Na'ru to find us, and this one will bring with it more allies." Rhonin insisted.

"Do you not recall the first of these portals? I speak, of course, about the Dark Portal." Darion urged.

"Which brought with it the Horde, without which we would have fallen to the Scourge long ago!" Rhonin said.

"Sending a wormhole's power through the cosmos is not only dangerous but also stupid. How would whoever get's through it get home?" Darion quizzed.

"This Portal's powers will seek out the most powerful forces in the cosmos, capture them, and then bring them back. If they so choose, stepping into the portal again will take them home." Rhonin explained.

"So you plan to hold them hostage until they aid us?" Darion asked.

"If that is what it takes… yes." Rhonin said and resumed the portal opening.

"Wait… did you think ahead to enchant it with a body limiter? The last thing I want is another Horde." Darion said.

"Yes it has a maximum capacity of six bodies… then if they turn out to be helpful we can extend the portal for more of their comrades." Rhonin said, offhandedly.

"Well… Jaina didn't mention that." Darion said, looking at the sorceress.

Rhonin glared at his compatriot and she stuttered, "Well… you didn't mention you had put a limit on it."

"Where will you send it?" Darion asked.

"Hopefully beyond the Burning Legion's reach." Rhonin said and the portal lit up brighter than the sun, then was gone.

The three watched the skies as if expecting something, and then Darion looked at the ground, shook his head and mounted his gryphon.

"This will not end well." He told them and flew off.

They mages went back into the tower and waited in the nearest most chamber to the roof.

"When it comes back, it will be here?" Jaina asked.

"Yes… if my configuration was correct." Rhonin said.

Jaina's eyes opened widely, "If your configuration was correct? You mean you haven't tested it yet?"

"Of course not… good point though, it will be random as to where the denizens end up…" Rhonin said worriedly.

Jaina put her head in her hands and sighed.

"I wish you to inform Thrall of this." Rhonin said.

"You think he should know?" she asked.

"Yes… otherwise, he'll probably end up sending other troops that he just can't spare to investigate." Rhonin said.

"Well I can't tell him now, it's the middle of the night… best do it tomorrow, goodnight Rhonin." She said and teleported away.

"Goodnight… Jaina." Rhonin whispered, shook his head and leaned back in his chair.

"Alright… this should get your group to Hueco Muendo, Ichigo." Urahara said.

The doorway before Ichigo was black iron and inside was a dark, swirling purple vortex.

"You sure this will take us to Hueco Muendo?" he asked.

"Go in already Ichigo." Uryu hissed, giving him a light shove.

"Fine then…" Ichigo began to walk into the door when he heard a cry of, 'Wait!' from behind them.

Yoruichi was running down the stairs followed closely by two captains, one with long black hair and the other with spiked black hair.

"Kenpachi… Byakuya, what are you guys doing here?" Ichigo asked.

"Captain!" Renji and Rukia said, bowing their heads.

"We're here as an advanced tactical group to escort you to Hueco Muendo." Kenpachi said.

"Captain Hitsugaya wished to come, but we volunteered instead as his information is still being debriefed." Byakuya informed them.

"I think we have more than enough power, but hey if you insist." Ichigo shrugged.

"After your second beat down from an Arrancar, Ichigo, those are tough words." Kenpachi said, smiling.

"It was the same Arrancar… and I can hold my mask for over a minute now." Ichigo said, closing his eyes.

"Hmph… let's go." Byakuya said and walked into the portal.

Ichigo, Kenpachi, Rukia, Renji, Uryu, and Chad followed him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"My lord, I sense a breach in Hueco Muedo's outer shelf, they've come for her." Ulquiorra said, turning to Aizen who was standing at the window facing the cold desert.

"I'd hoped they had given up… take one of the Espada's and go dispatch them." Aizen said.

"Yes sir." Ulquiorra began to walk off, but Aizen stopped him.

"On second thought, bring me Grimmjow… and I want you to guard Inoue personally." Aizen smiled.

"As you command." Ulquiorra bowed and descended the long stair case, eventually growing bored and performing a Sonido into Grimmjow's chambers.

"You got privacy issues, eh, Ulquiorra?" the former Espada frowned.

He had his shirt off and was treating the cut on his head with his only arm, his right.

"Grimmjow, Lord Aizen wishes to speak with you." Ulquiorra said.

"Oh well, I'm busy." He growled.

"That was not a request." Ulquiorra said, grabbed him and performed a Sonido into Aizen's chambers.

"Dammit, Ulquiorra, I was joking!" he said as Ulquiorra disappeared.

"Grimmjow." Aizen stated.

"Lord Aizen." Grimmjow said.

"The soul reapers have come for their friend, think you can handle them?" Aizen asked.

"Hell yeah! … uh, I mean, Yes, sir." Grimmjow said.

"Well you can't." he said, and Grimmjow gritted his teeth.

"With all respect sir…" Grimmjow began but Aizen raised his hand.

"You not only had Ichigo Kurosaki in your grasp, but also had Rukia Kuchiki, and yet you let yourself be beaten by a lowly Vizard." Aizen said, looking at Grimmjow with cold eyes.

"I didn't release myself…" Grimmjow began.

"Because you can not." Aizen pointed out.

Grimmjow went silent and looked at the ground.

"I haven't felt you release your full powers since Kaname took your arm, without your whole body, you cannot release your zanpaktou, can you?" Aizen asked.

"I… I haven't been able to as of yet, my lord." Grimmjow growled through gritted teeth as his fist clenched.

"Then you are a waste of Arrancar talent." Aizen said.

"My lord I was the sixth most powerful Espada, then you had that bastard Tousen cut my arm off, it wasn't my fault!" Grimmjow roared and got to his feet.

Aizen whipped around to face him, and then took out his zanpaktou.

"The only time you are ever allowed to mock Kaname Tousen is when you are more powerful than him, Grimmjow, and we both know that at your current level, you are not." Aizen said, and then directed all of his spiritual pressure to Grimmjow, making him collapse to one knee.

"I… could be…" Grimmjow hissed, trying to keep himself from falling all the way to the floor.

Aizen lifted his spiritual pressure from the Arrancar, causing him to gasp and attempt to inhale air as quickly as possible.

"Perhaps you could… but as you are not a Vasto-Lorde, nor have any hope of becoming one, you are at your most powerful now." Aizen said.

"I am enough to kill that Soul Reaper one on one." Grimmjow said.

"If there is another option, Soul Reapers do not let their comrades die in one on one combat, Grimmjow. Kurosaki has managed to recruit two captains and a lieutenant from the Soul Society, not to mention however strong his three friends are." Aizen said.

"A Quincy… a regular human and a crappy Soul Reaper who I've beaten twice now." Grimmjow said, getting up on his feet again.

"What about the two captains?" Aizen quizzed.

"I'll use my cero on them, then kill Kurosaki and his three friends… worry about the three officers later." Grimmjow explained.

"No… although you are no longer an Espada, you are an Arrancar… an Adjuchas, but still an arrancar. You are still too valuable to be done in for a mission like this." Aizen said.

"Lord Aizen, if I may suggest something?" someone said from behind him.

"Eavesdropping is a crime, Gin, what is it?" Aizen asked.

"Allow Grimmjow his arm back." Gin said, coming out of the shadows.

"Allow me… Captain Ichimaru, my arm was destroyed… unlike Yammy who still had his, I can't re-attach mine!" Grimmjow objected.

"Lord Aizen, if you remember our earlier discussion… you might find this an interesting way to test it out." Gin persisted.

Aizen sat in his seat, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened them and looked at Grimmjow.

"Grimmjow, go to the fifth highest tower, you'll find Ulquiorra there, tell him to see me, and stay guard there until you feel well enough to return." Aizen said.

"Yes sir." Grimmjow mumbled and walked away.

Aizen turned to Gin and smiled, "Let's hope he doesn't try anything foolish with the girl."

"Yes, Ulquiorra would be much distressed by that." Gin said and the two chuckled.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grimmjow ascended the tower, growling at his lack of clothing.

"Couldn't have been in the ninth tower, could he? Of course not, because my quarters are on the way to the ninth one, but the fifth one is on the other damn side of the entire fort." Grimmjow snarled as the steps became smaller but wider.

He finally came to the door and considered knocking, remembered his meeting with Ulquiorra earlier, and just stormed in. Ulquiorra was on him in an instant with his hand at Grimmjow's throat.

"Do not make unwise decisions in a time of war, Grimmjow." Ulquiorra said and relaxed.

"Aizen wants to see you, and hurry cause I have to stay here until you get back." Grimmjow said.

"At least, I think that's what Aizen meant…" Grimmjow thought.

Ulquiorra immediately disappeared and Grimmjow found a comfortable purple chair which he sat in.

"This is the life… wonder what this place is for? Used to be bare…" Grimmjow said out loud when he noticed a small spiritual pressure from the other room.

He stood up and peeked through the purple somewhat see through curtains that covered the large archway and saw a girl in Arrancar clothing, crying on a desk.

"I've felt this spiritual pressure somewhere… I think it was Shawlong who linked it to me…" Grimmjow whispered and walked in.

The girl had long hair to her lower back and her head was in her arms, sobbing.

"Um… are you alright?" Grimmjow asked and she sniffed and looked up.

"Uh… who are you?" she asked, wiping her eyes.

"I'm Es… I'm Grimmjow." He said.

"I'm… Orihime Inoue." She said, and held out her hand.

Grimmjow shook it gently, then pulled up a chair next to her.

"You some sort of prisoner?" he asked.

"I suppose so… Ulquiorra didn't really say." She sniffed.

"Yeah he's a real hard ass." Grimmjow observed.

Orihime laughed, and tucked her hair behind her ear.

"So… you're an arrancar right?" she asked him.

"Kind of… might not be one for very much longer." Grimmjow said off handedly.

"Why not?" she asked.

"Well… if you didn't notice, I'm not all there." Grimmjow said, gesturing to his arm.

"I did notice… I think I could fix that for you." Orihime said, looking at it closer, no tears in her eyes anymore.

"Huh?" Grimmjow asked, his eyes wide.

"I mean, you weren't born with no arm right?" she asked him.

"Nah… lost it disobeying orders." Grimmjow said, looking at the stump.

"Then I can fix it for you, lay down." She said.

"If you say so…" he shrugged and laid back on her large bed.

She sat down next to him and examined the area at the separation point.

"I'll need to borrow that sword of yours." She said.

"I don't think so." He said.

"I can't heal you like this, it has to be clean and your skin has already patched it up." She argued reaching for Pantera.

"Whoa now princess, I'll do that." He said and drew Pantera, then hacked the very tip of his arm off.

"Alright now hold still… Soten Kishun." Orihime whispered, putting her hands to her hair.

A diamond erupted over Grimmjow's arm and it began to reform is bone and muscle structure.

"Holy crap…" Grimmjow whispered, watching his arm grow back to life.

It finished off with skin that was a hue paler than the rest, which he looked at Orihime questioningly about.

"I suppose… you must have gotten tanner since you lost it." She said.

"Yeah… I did get a bit of sun recently." Grimmjow said, looking at his hand.

Orihime wiped her head and then put her hair up and looked at the arrancar expectedly.

"Thank you… and I swear, I'll return the favor, but right now I have to go report to my master." Grimmjow said.

"Wait, Grimmjow… why do you help Aizen?" she asked.

Grimmjow stopped, then turned back to her.

"Because I'm returning the favor." He said and walked out.

Orihime sighed, then curled up on her bed and fell asleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Lord Aizen." Grimmjow said.

Aizen turned to see Grimmjow with his left hand propping him up against the wall.

"Good, Grimmjow… now, take arrancar number… hmm… cuarenta y cuatro and go dispatch those pesky soul reapers." Aizen said.

Grimmjow raced out of the room, grabbed his jacket and then descended to the Pit of Arrancars.

"Arrancar 44, get out here." Grimmjow yelled.

The arrancar did so and Grimmjow informed it of their orders and they raced out of the Hueco Muendo castle.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well… this place sucks." Ichigo observed.

They all stood on the cold sands, which stretched as far as the eye could see in any direction.

"Let's move, the prison is that way, I sense her there." Rukia said, pointing.

"I agree…" Ichigo began when he felt and enormous spiritual pressure above them.

It looked like a box made out of stars and it rocketed over then and crashed into the sand about a mile away.

"What the…" Uryu began.

"Let's just ignore it and… Ichigo wait!" Byakuya began as Ichigo took off towards the box.

The seven arrived at the box and started at it in wonder, it looked solid but Ichigo poked Zangetsu right through it.

"What is it?" Ichigo wondered.

Uryu, Chad and Rukia were all feeling the effects of it's spiritual pressure but Ichigo, Kenpachi, Byakuya and Renji were able to handle it.

"What the hell is that thing, Soul reaper?" a voice asked from their left.

Grimmjow stood there with his arms on his sides and was staring at the box.

"Ah, who cares? Let's kill them." The arrancar next to him hissed.

"Yeah, sorry Soul Reaper but this is the end for you… my orders are to kill you and all your friends." Grimmjow smiled.

"Oh really? Then I advise you to choose another time, you're outnumbered and outmatched." Kenpachi said, drawing his zanpaktou.

"I advise you to put you blade where your mouth is!" Number 44 cried and charged in, only to be surrounded by petals of steel, which tore him to shreds.

"Nyeh… must have been his first assignment." Grimmjow said, spitting to the side.

"Leave Grimmjow, you can't win." Ichigo said, stepping forward.

"Nah… I'm not like him." Grimmjow said and performed a Sonido behind their ranks, swiping Uryu in the chest, cutting him slightly and throwing him back.

"Damn!" Ichigo hissed.

"Dance, Sode no Shirayuki!" Rukia cried.

"Zabimaru, Bankai!" Renji roared.

"Senbon Zakura Kageyoshi." Byakuya murmured, releasing his sword.

Chad and Kenpachi roared and charged forward.

"Nice." Grimmjow complimented, then ducked under Kenpachi's swing, kicking his legs out from under him then uppercutting Chad in the jaw.

Byakuya directed his petals at him, but Grimmjow Sonido'd behind him and threw a kick on the back of his knee, knocking him over.

"Dance number one, white moon!" Rukia yelled.

"Ah, no, not that thing again." Grimmjow smiled and grasped the handle of her zanpaktou, then forced her and himself away from the circle.

"Hihiro Zabimaru!" Renji cried as the snake skeleton tore through the sand and was stopped by Grimmjow's leg.

The arrancar threw Rukia into the snake and the two fell away. Grimmjow drew Pantera just in time to block Ichigo's bankai.

"It's over this time, Soul Reaper!" Grimmjow cried.

"You're damn straight!" Ichigo roared and donned his mask.

The two hacked and slashed at each other until they were right next to the box, though neither of them noticed it until Ichigo swung at Grimmjow, missed and toppled into the box. Tendril's exploded out of the box and grabbed the nearest six people: Ichigo, Grimmjow, Kenpachi, Byakuya, Rukia and lastly Renji. Despite their cries of confusion and (in four cases) anger, the box closed and disappeared into the sky.

"What the hell just happened…?" Chad said, rubbing his jaw and standing up.

Uryu staggered to his feet, looking at the blood on his hands.

"Damn, he hit me hard." Uryu coughed.

"Uryu… I think we're in a lot of trouble." Chad said.

A/N: Review please :) . By the way, I hope there isn't already an Arrancar 44… I just pulled a number out of the air.
