Volume 2: Our Worse Nightmares
''Unknown beings are attacking Soul Society and are draining the spiritual energy from the world in order to power their portal so that may enter the Human realm. What ever they are, they seem to cause even the Gotei 13 trouble.'' ''The unknown beings are revealed to be Nightmares, creatures from the realm of Purgatory. They have no true souls and therefore a relentless when it comes to fighting. Only a small group of them are shown.'' ''The battle over Soul Society continues and it appears that the Nightmares have changed their plans. Instead of draining the world entirely of it's spiritual power, they only drain enough so that the portal remains long enough for small groups of Nightmares can enter the Human realm and destroy it slowly.'' ''With small groups of Nightmares still keeping the Soul Society busy, other small groups of Nightmares have entered the Human realm. They have begun the process of draining the Earth of it's spiritual power so that they can open another portal to Heuco Mundo in order to begin another attack on the Hollows.'' ''The Human realm's warriors seem to be keeping the Nightmares busy, for the time being, while the Soul Society finishes off what groups remain in their realm. However, due to the delay on their plans, the Nightmares send one of their top ranking species, a SiN, to dispatch any one causing trouble to their genocidal march on the universe.''

Volume 3: The SiNners
''Number 17 of the SiNs, Pain, has been dispatched to Earth to destroy any fighters who would stand in the Nightmares' way. While he begins his attack on the Human realm, the Soul Society learns about the Nightmares' plans for the rest of the universe.'' ''Pain is still fighting Earth's defenders while the Soul Society makes decisions on invading the realm of Purgatory. More information is learned that Nightmares don't know they are not really who they think they are and that they serve some supreme power.'' ''While Soul Society begins their operations to invade Purgatory, Earth's defenders are able to push Pain back to his world. It is then realized that the worlds, no, all of existence, is in grave danger and Earth's defenders believe they must side with Soul Society once again to put an end to the genocidal Nightmares.'' ''Now that the Soul Society has more of an understanding of what they are up against, they have begun to travel through a rift to create a new gate to enter the realm of Purgatory. However, this is not simple with Purgatory's only rift being that of terror.'' ''A portal has been established and a hidden base has been built by the Gotei 13. From here they plan to keep a steady defense against the Nightmares as well as a slowly advancing offense. However, the barrier that is meant to hide their spiritual pressure is acting up and some Nightmares sense their arrival.''

Volume 4: The World of Nothingness
''Two of the Gotei 13 take some recon of the local area and plant many spirit detection devices to sense the pressure of an approaching Nightmare. However, they run into Pain who is eager for more fighting.'' ''While the two Gotei 13 captains fight Pain, the others have done research on the realm of Purgatory. The world is entirely fake, created by a supreme being called Avarice. They believe he only remarks himself as that and believe he may be the leader of all the Nightmares.'' ''The two Gotei 13 captains manage to push Pain away from the hidden location of the base but fail to destroy him. They believe he has more power then what he shows. The Souls Society finds even more information about the Nightmares, in that, there are 30 "super" Nightmares called SiNs, and they function much like the Gotei 13 with few diferences. They begin to realize how much a threat the Nightmares and SiNs are as Pain is only ranked 17.'' ''The Gotei 13 and Earth's defenders split up to search seperate parts of the world. Eventually they begin to run into small divisions of Nightmares led by Nightmares called Fronzedels, who are much like the Gotei 13's Lieutenants.''
