With the appearance of Lunuganga again, Rukia prepares to use her zanpaktoua 's second released ability, but she forgets that shea 's riding on Bawabawa and hurts him while trying to do this. Lunuganga then sends them into another sand pit, and Rukia gets thrown off of Bawabawa in the process. The entire group gets sucked under the sand, and they fall into an underground cavern. Around them are giant trees similar to the ones they saw on the surface, and Ishida realizes that the ones on the surface are simply the top parts of these trees poking through the sand. Nel and her companions call this the Forest of Menos, and Ishida is reminded of how he saw a large group of Menos in the distance as they were falling into the area moments ago. He reasons that the Espada and Arrancar inhabit the surface while the Gillians and other Hollows live underground, and Nel confirms this. Unfortunately, Nel hasna 't been here before and thus doesna 't know the way back up to the surface. She starts crying because she thinks theya 'll all die, but Ichigo reassures her that ita 'll be fine, and Ishida suggests that there has to be a path that the Hollows use to come and go from here.
Renji then notices that Rukia isna 't with them. As it turns out, she landed in a different part of the forest and soon finds herself surrounded by Hollows. No matter how many she defeats, more show up, so Rukia starts running in search of everyone else towards a source of light in the distance. However, when she reaches the clearing, Rukia finds two Menos waiting for her, and one of them prepares to fire a Cero blast. Rukia is saved when a masked figure suddenly appears and grabs her, and he proceeds to destroy both Menos with what appears to be a zanpaktou. He then carries her through the forest and ignores her request to be let go. She manages to get free from him at one point, but he proves to be faster than her and quickly recaptures her. When she questions what he intends to do, he asks her to be patient and reveals that theya 'll soon arrive at his hideout. Unbeknownst to her or to Ichigoa 's group, a group of Hollows meet on the surface to discuss the disturbance in the Forest of Menos, and they find out more from Las Noches.
The masked figure soon arrives at his cave hideout, and Rukia realizes that hea 's a Shinigami after all. He doesna 't respond to her question of which Division hea 's with, making her think that he had left his Division. What he does reveal is that his name is Ashido, and that this is the Forest of Menos - a world where Menos reside that is nowhere near the rules of Soul Society. He then surprises Rukia by attacking her, and it quickly becomes apparent that hea 's stronger then her. Ichigo and company meanwhile have started searching for Rukia, and since they cana 't find her, Bawabawa suggests climbing up one of the trees to get a look from above. Ishida and Sado go up with Bawabawa, but they dona 't see Rukia anywhere. They soon come under attack by hordes of Hollows from both the ground and the air, and these are followed up by several Menos. When one of the flying Hollows carries away Nel, Pesche, and Dondochakka, and Ichigo cana 't immediately save them because even more Menos appear. Back at Ashidoa 's cave, Rukia wonders if he brought her there just to kill her. When he corners her, she throws some sand at him and uses the chance to strike, but he disappears and reappears behind her, thrusting his sword at her. Read Less
