Mayuri soon reached the Human world with Hachigou Nemuri closely behind him and immediately made their way toward the 7th door where people needed to be pulled out first. The Hollows who attacked the 6th door are also in danger, but his priority is his fellow Shinigamis.
On the way here, Mayuri saw how Zaraki had instantly killed his opponent but they immediately revived after. At first, he was disappointed that there is probably no chance of him getting a corpse from Hell to study. Then he also became curious about how they were doing it and intently watched and each time Kiganjou would revive, while also cursing at Zaraki for turning around or covering the camera on his chest.
Nevertheless, Mayuri immediately guessed their intentions when he saw Kaname Tousen not doing anything, 'It's to hold him in place. But it's also safe to assume that these other dead people can revive multiple times.'
Another thing that he noticed was that they had more information than he thought after seeing that Zommari wasn't shocked after seeing Bambietta walk again despite her neck being snapped. And after a few more minutes of observation, Mayaru had a feeling that their enemies didn't actually want to kill Hell's intruders.
Mayuri arrived where the 7th door disappeared and observed it for a bit. But just as he was about to give instructions to the surrounding Shinigamis who were securing the area, his communicator rang. He already gave a reminder to only call him when there's something important that came out so he immediately answered it, [Captain Kurotsuchi, there are unknown people who're approaching the spot where the door closed!]
"Turn on the feed and do not engage. Stay back and observe them." Mayuri immediately instructed and soon enough, he soon received the image of three girls standing in front of the closed door.
'The girls with Sitri Serafall... What are they here for?' Mayuri thought to himself before giving more instructions, "Ask them what they're doing and if they don't feel like answering, immediately take your distance. Do not engage in hostile behavior at all costs and keep the cameras pointed at them at all times."
[Understood!]
However, the Shinigamis didn't have the time to inquire when the girl with golden hair and eyes suddenly took out four paper talismans. The paper talismans floated at the four corners where the door was previously located and after a few gestures from her, a black line emerged in the middle and expanded to a black portal. The door to Hell was forcibly reopened.
Mayuri's eyes went wide open at what he'd just seen, but he didn't let that break his concentration and take in all the information that he could gather right now. He's now regretting not going to the 6th door but there's nothing he could do right now.
As soon as the door opened, the girls jumped in without any hesitation.
The Shinigamis present wanted to approach the now open door but the talisman they left started shaking a few seconds after the girls entered before they shattered into countless pieces. Immediately after, the door closed as if the stick in the middle of it had snapped. The closing created a big enough shockwave to push away the approaching Shinigamis.
[C-Captain, what should we do?]
"Immediately secure our measuring devices and upload their data before something happens to them."
Mayuri wanted to make his way to the 6th door when he was stopped by a subordinate, "C-captain!"
Mayuri turned around and was in for another surprise. In front of the 7th door, a figure is standing quietly without releasing any fluctuation of Reiatsu as if he does not exist.
Wearing a white tuxedo, black pants, a white fedora hat with a black band, black gloves, black shoes, and a pure white shapeless mask that doesn't have any holes, the man with long black hair seems to be staring at the spot where the door opened.
Mayuri didn't immediately talk to him and instead gestured to others to fall back to a safe distance.
The unknown man, on the other hand, put forward his hand towards the space where the door is and a green Magic Circle instantly manifested and its unknown characters rotating mysteriously.
"How are you related to Sitri Serafall?" This is the first question that Mayuri asked.
The strange man didn't stop what he was doing but took some time before he answered, "...Brother-in-law."
Mayuri was not expecting to receive any answer so he was glad that he could continue talking, "What are you trying to do?"
The man took back his hand and the mysterious circle disappeared, "You should have already guessed." The man then took 8 pieces of 1x1 inch black cubes out of nowhere and started tinkering at them.
That tinkering took little time and the man tossed 7 of the 8 cubes to Mayuri's direction.
The one who responded was the small Nemu who ran in front of Mayuri to catch these cubes. Nemu inspected the cubes first before giving them to Mayuri, "This is?"
"Keys." The man briefly answered before tossing the last one that he had in front of him. The black cube became suspended in the air after it reached the exact spot where the door closed. A second later, it released a strange noise before disintegrating into dust. Immediately after a black line appeared and the door reappeared once again, "Gather the Magic Power around the spot where the door appeared and pour them in those. If you can't do it yourself, ask Sera-chan to do it for you."
Without waiting for a reply the man went through the door.
Unlike what the strange girls did, the door the strange man opened remained open, but Mayuri knew better not to follow him and instead just sent some of his surveillance bugs.
Immediately after, Mayuri turned his back to the door and issued additional instructions, "Watch the door and record everything that's happening to it. Aside from that, don't let anyone approach it. Also, ask the Seireitei for more reinforcements in preparation for the personnel pulled out from Hell."
The Shinigamis around him saluted and only eased themselves when Mayuri and Nemu disappeared with a Flash Step.

Claire, Kunou, and Tanis warily and nervously entered the door to Hell. Despite that, the three of them were excited because this is their first real battle after their extensive training within the Ouroboros Academy.
As soon as the light returned, they saw a devastated land that was ravaged by intense battle.
The atmosphere around them felt awfully similar to the Underworld and they were taken aback but immediately focused back on searching for their target. A few seconds later, they found their objective but all three of them were bloodied, unmoving, and on the verge of death.
With a quick glance, Claire immediately figured out what was going on and matched it with the information they had, "Poison... Tanis, secure our rescue targets first."
"Understood." Right away, Tanis removed her disguise and her appearance returned to that of a Vouivre. Releasing her Draconic Aura, she immediately caught the attention of their opponents but she ignored them for now and spread out her wings before diving within the poison-filled land to snatch the three Hollows who were conscious, but couldn't move.

28th00: I forgot Nemu 8 was still a loli, and apparently shouts a lot. Serafall is also gonna be tilted when she finds out she’s only the ‘Sister-in-law’ to him. Poor christmas cake Sera-chan.
Goyya: Nothing can be done about it. There’s still not much progress between the two of them.
Tanis dived into the area where there was almost an indiscernible purple fume and grabbed the downed Arrancars, carrying Nel and Harribel within her arms and grabbing Grimmjow with her tail before taking to the air once again.
One of their opponents, a wrinkled, hunched back and bald old man with sunken eyes, swung his right black skeletal arm towards them and the purple fume chased after Tanis and the unmoving Arrancars who had their Resurreccion already canceled.
Tanis took a peek at the purple fume before strongly flapping her wings in an attempt to blow it away. However, as if they were there in the first place, the fumes were unaffected. In an instant, Tanis decided on another way and somersaulted in midair to face the fume. She took a deep breath and a blue flame sparked at the corner of her lips.
Opening her mouth, Tanis let out a deep blue breath of fire and it expanded enough to engulf the entire fume. But her Dragon Breath didn't stop there as it continued to expand and made its way towards the two Shinigamis riddled with black chain tattoos.
The Shinigamis were shocked at her sudden large move and both of them could feel the extreme heat that this fire possessed even though they still hadn't touched it. As the breath approached, the Shinigamis used Flash Step to dodge and get away, creating a large distance between the two groups.
Kunou immediately created a translucent platform in the sky for Tanis to land the patients. And after they were lined up, Kunou immediately concluded that they were suffering from severe poisoning, but it was not what was killing them, 'Their bodies were crushed after they were immobilized.'
"...U-ugghhhh... W-who are you?" Grimmjow tried raising his body but he couldn't feel anything aside from pain running through his entire body.
"It's not really the time for introductions, but you can call me Kunou." Kunou started her Youjutsu to start expelling the poison from their system, "This is my first time working on very intricate Spiritual bodies so it may take some time to heal them."
Claire nodded while watching their opponent, studying them, "Take your time. Just give us support whenever you're free."
Claire and Kunou then turned to Tanis who was looking at her shaking arms, "Will you be able to continue?" asked the latter.
Tanis gave her a smile and pumped her fist, "Of course! I can still give that old man a beating!"
"Be careful." reminded Claire, before jumping down and spreading her Devil Wings.
Tanis also jumped down to resume her clash with the poisonous old man.
As Kunou watched them approach their enemies, she couldn't help but think, 'That was such bad acting. I don't know if they're going to fall for it.' She then heard the tanned Arrancar groaning before saying, "...Be careful... The old man's poison works on anything aside from a Shinigami."
Kunou gave her a smile and said, "Don't worry. I don't think it works on a Dragon either."

The moment Kisuke entered the door, the first thing he saw was a very thick mist that severely limited his senses, including his ability to sense Magic Power, 'This Reiatsu... Yadoumaru-san? Is this her Bankai? No wonder Mayuri sent his bugs in with me.'
While thinking about what he should do, the mist moved and slowly dispersed in all locations. Soon, its ability to block senses was lifted and Kisuke saw Lisa Yadoumaru kneeling in front of her unconscious comrades. Lisa herself is breathing heavily and half of her Hollow mask was broken. She also has multiple cuts all over her body, making her bleed profusely. At the same time, the mist that was dispersing congealed and returned to her hand as her sealed Zanpakuto.
As the wielder of that mist, Lisa should have had the advantage within it, 'For her to take it back... Looks like the enemy has something that invalidates it. Quite the unlucky girl. No wonder Kyouraku-san immediately asked for help.'
After making sure that all of them were alive, Kisuke turned his attention to their opponents who were already looking at him, 'Shigyou Nobutsuna and Shijima Chigiri... I guess not all the original Gotei 13 was able to break the chains. No wonder Shihouin-san and Saitou-san panicked when they heard old man Yamamoto arrive in Hell. I wonder if they were able to locate him?'
Kisuke slowly stepped down to the ground and landed in front of Lisa and the other Shinigamis. Lisa was shocked at his appearance and hurriedly stood up to take a stance. However, she couldn't attack him because his back was to them.
"...Who are you?" the tall, lanky, and pale man with visibly sunken skin on his face and chest, particularly around his gray eyes, asked the masked man who just arrived. He had a pointy black mustache that extended a couple of inches out from his face on either side but was shaven in the middle, as well as a long black goatee covering the center of his chin, and spiky black hair that was largely covered by black fabric he kept wrapped around his temples and forehead, the sides of his face, and the underside of his jaw.
But instead of answering Shigyou Nobutsuna's question, Kisuke turned his head in another direction and thought, 'So there's another door not far from here... Hmmm, that Reiatsu... Soifon-san? Well, if Barragan became an immortal, it would really be hard to deal with anyone who didn't fuse with the Hougyoku or with a limited lifespan.'
At that moment, he felt a threat to his neck and immediately used Flash Step to arrive in front of his assailant, Shigyou Nobutsuna, who was now holding a whip-like sword that reached his previous location.
Nobutsuna was taken aback at the speed of the Flash Step and took a step back. However, it was already too late as he saw the strange man already holding a tanto blade and about to reach his neck.
Unfortunately for the strange man, his tanto blade was blocked by another katana, "You seriously fell for that?"
With his attack blocked, Kisuke used Flash Step again to retreat and return to his former position. He then looked at the person who blocked him and thought, 'Shijima Chigiri... A much more troublesome person than the one beside him.'
The reason why Kisuke thought of that is that at their brief encounter, he managed to latch a small amount of Psuedo-Demonic Power into his arm, 'So this is how he was able to track Yadoumaru-san because of this.'
Without saying anything, Kisuke touched the part where he inserted the Psuedo-Demonic Power and expelled it with his own Magic Power.
At that instant, Nobutsuna and Chigiri's facial expressions became serious, "...Who are you?" The latter asked this time, "No... The better question is what are you here for?"
Kisuke finally answered with a masked voice, "To take them back with me... And maybe kill the two of you a few times while I'm at it."
Nobutsuna and Chigiri were both speechless until the former started laughing maniacally, "Fuhahahaha! Good joke, fancy man. Let's see you try that."
However, his laugh abruptly stopped when Kisuke held the tanto blade in front of his chest and said, "Descend, Tiamat."
In the next second, the purple sky became covered with thick dark clouds with flashing lightning and booming thunder within it.
But instead of rain, it was a light blue-haired giant woman with very prominent horns who broke through the clouds face first with her eyes closed. The terrifying giant woman's hands were restrained to her neck as half of her body emerged from the clouds. As soon as her descent stopped, the giant woman opened her eyes, revealing her pink star-like pupils.
A very light yet blood-chilling pressure weighed everyone on the ground as if a Goddess came down to judge them herself.
"Chigiri!!!" Nobutsuna shouted at his stunned partner while preparing to fire his Kidou at 'God'.

28th00: Well now, this is just bullying.
Goyya: This is what I’m imagining when I wrote that, but on a way larger scale.
