From the beginning there were souls. However as with all things there were two sides to these souls, the side of the just; Shinigami. The side of the evil; Hollow. Humans stuck in the middle, food for the Hollow and sheep for the Shinigami. The Hollow being the fiendish beasts they were, preyed on the souls of the recently departed humans. Being drawn into the more dense spiritual areas. Feeding, growing stronger. However it was the sole purpose of the Shinigami to defend these Human souls and vanquish the hollow forces. In order to do so the thirteen court guard squads were formed in the Shinigami’s own realm of Seireitei. And so it was that the Shinigami conquered over the Hollow. For generations, as far back as anyone could remember, the Hollow were a mere nuisance. These evil souls were almost always quickly vanquished by the more organized nature of the Seireitei, the Gotei Thirteen.
This lasted for thousands of years, no real threat of Hollow ever came about. In their own realm of Hueco Mundo it was simply a massive desert. This desert stretched for miles and miles and the Hollow here only fed on others. There was no group, no organization in the mix. They were simply the product of all the worst human emotions. Greed, fear, gluttony, avarice, all things Hollow coveted. Within this world of Hollows however, something was changing. Something big. A Vasto Lorde, the highest class of Hollow, had decided he had enough of being thrown aside by Seireitei. He had enough of being stuck in this realm, so this Vasto Lorde ripped his mask off, thus becoming a powerful being known as an Arrancar. This wasn’t an uncommon thing, Arrancar existed in Hueco Mundo prior. However, Vasto Lorde class Arrancar were unheard of. This new Arrancar, overflowing with power dubbed himself Soren.
Using his immense abilities and new found power, Soren slaughtered the remaining Vasto Lorde class Hollow. Putting their heads on pikes for all to see. For all to know the extent of his wrath. Quickly Soren gathered all of the rogue Hollow, all of the powerful Hollow who never had any purpose. With his bare hands he ripped their masks off, turning them into the first generation of his group only known as Lanza. This group of Arrancar led by Soren would wage an internal conflict with the realm of Hueco Mundo. Anyone who got in their path of domination would be crushed under the heel of Soren’s own massive power. This time of internal strife however was not permanent and Soren came out on top. His power growing by the day, once all was obtained he began to grow bored of the current realm and he then set his eyes on the world of the living.
Meanwhile, Seireitei was completely oblivious to the fact. The most powerful captains enjoying the time of peace, the time where conflict wasn’t an issue. There was no organized threat to the world of the living, the small amount of agents they had in the real world were perfectly suitable to deal with any threat there. Soren drew his battle plans and, when the time came, executed a massive plan that changed the course of history for every side. In one fell swoop he took over most if not all of the spiritually active areas of the living world. His Hollow army feeding on the power, becoming drunk with it. His perfectly executed plan caught the Shinigami off guard and as such they were ill equipped to defend.
The battle lines have been drawn, Hollow creeping over the world like a dark plague. The western half of the world of the living, better known as Earth, being completely theirs. Humans being kept pretty much in the dark about what was going on, they simply figured it was some sort of disease. Some sort of dark plague creeping over the planet, most claimed it to be Armageddon. In a way they were right, rather then have four horsemen of the apocalypse however there were the ten Lanza members, and Soren himself. This was no plague, this was a Rise of Hollows.
