Soul Society
"There is only one path left for me," Byakuya said as he glared at Ichigo. "Ichigo Kurosaki...I Will kill you. And once again, I will capture Rukia and execute her myself this time."
"I won't let that happen." Ichigo said. "That's why I'm here...no...that's why we are here."
Byakuya looked at Indra from the corner of his eyes. His eyes twitched when he saw the former Otsutsuki eat popcorn while looking at them.
Everyone looked at Indra and sweatdropped. Does he not realize he could die at any time now?
Indra raised an eyebrow. "What? This is like watching a soap opera. However, this one is more action based."
They sweatdropped again. Is he insane?!
Aizen who was looking at them from a far distance sweatdropped and sighed. He's bonkers.
.
With Rukia and Renji...
"Let me go!" Rukia shouted. "Please let me go, Renji! I must help Ichigo!"
A tick mark appeared on Renji's temple. "Will you just shut up?! We're running away, so stay quiet! What if someone hears us, damn it?!"
"But you're voice is louder than mine." Rukia deadpanned.
"That guy...Ichigo said he owed you a favor."
"Me? A favor?"
"Yeah..."
.
Flashback
"Rukia saved my life." Ichigo said. "Rukia changed my destiny. I became a Soul Reaper after meeting Rukia. That's why I'm able to protect everyone and fight like this. And for the first time in my life, I feel like I can defend aniki. Not that he can't, but ever since we were little, he protected me even if he was sadistic about them he did. So now I can say that because of Rukia in a way I can help him too."
.
"Because of me, Ichigo's fate has been changed, and I hurt him terribly. " Rukia said. "Nothing I do can make amends for that."
.
Flashback end
"You always think too much." Renji said as he looked at Ruki. "You've always been like that. You're not as bad as you think. So stop blaming yourself for everything. You're not strong enough to carry it all on your shoulders. Share it. Put some of your burden on my shoulders, and Ichigo's shoulders. Divide it up a little and stand up slowly. That's the reason why we became strong. Have faith in him and Indra, Rukia."

Indra's Kamui Dimension
"Oh my that was is so touching. Don't you think Kodzuchi?" Indra said as he wiped a fake tear out of his eyes as he looked at the duo.
Kodzuchi sweatdropped. "Master Indra you're being dramatic again."
"That aside, why has the white bishop moved back a step?" Hyakki Yagyo said curiosity lacing her tone.
Indra chuckled. "Because, Hyakki Yagyo, that imbecile always gets lost. And considering how the soul society is like a maze, it would take him years to get to his destination. I would be surprised if he even made it to the front gates with that idiotic brain of his."
Kodzuchi and Hyakki Yagyo sweatdropped. I thought it would something more important than that.
.
With Renji and Rukia...
"I'm sorry, Renji." Rukia said.
"Fool." Renji said. "Don't apologize."
"Thank you."
"Fool. Don't thank me either."
.
With Yamamoto and the Others...
"Big Sister..." Kiyone mumbled as she looked at Isane's unconscious figure. "Big Sister!" she exclaimed as she ran towards them.
"Wait, Kiyone, hey!" Sentaro shouted, however, he was thrown aside by Soifon.
"Huh?!" Kiyone said.
"Hold it, Soi Fon!" Jushiro shouted as he ran towards her; however, Yamamoto placed his cane on the ground, making him stop in his tracks.
Indra looked at them with interest. Now thing's just got interesting.
"Do not move!" Yamamoto said.
"Sir Genryusai!" Jushiro said.
"It was a Lieutenant that took off with the prisoner. We can always find a replacement." Yamamoto said. "We can take our time capturing him. However, I cannot forgive you two! As captains, you have done something you must not have done. I'm sure you both understand what that is.
"Captain Ukitake..." Kiyone said. "Captain, you're in danger!" she shouted as he ran towards her captain.
"Stay back, Kiyone!" Jushiro shouted, making Kiyone stop in her tracks.
"It seems I must be going now." Indra said as he started walking away.
"You're not going anywhere Ryoka!" Soifon shouted as she lunged at Indra.
"But I'm already gone." Indra chuckled and disappeared in a swirl.
Soifon stopped in her tracks and clicked her tongue. "Bastard."
Everyone gasped at the sight. He's dangerous.
Yamamoto turned back his attention at the captains and opened his eyes.
"Well, we have no choice!" Shunsui chirped holding Jushiro by his shoulder, startling the albino. "Guess we should make a run for it, Ukitake!" he said before flash stepping away.
"Wha-?!" Jushiro gasped in surprise.
"Shunsui!" Yamamoto said.
"Wait, Kyoraku!" Jushiro said. "My subordinates are still-!"
"Calm down! If we fought Old Man Yama up there, everyone would get dragged into it and die! Those two will be fine. And besides, he's not the only one we should watch out for." Shunsui said as he remembered Indra's smirking face before he disappeared. That boy is dangerous.
"Oh, and can't you feel it? There's an ally approaching." Shunsui said. "Prepare yourself! The ground's coming up on us!"
.
With Kiyone
"Captain!" Kiyone mumbled.
"Can't stand just being a bystander...Lowly scum!" Soifon said as she kicked Kiyone in the face. "What you did was contemptible. You've dishonored the 13 Court Guard Squads! But rest assured I will kill you so that you will not disgrace yourself further. And that Ryoka will follow after you." She said as she pushed her leg on Kiyone's abdomen.
Suddenly a blur took Soifon away. "Let go of me! Who are you?!" Soifon said as she held the arms that held her in a chokehold.
"Don't make such a fuss." Yoruichi said. "I see your temperament hasn't improved."
"You're-?! You're Yoruichi!"
"Long time no see, Soi Fon."
.
With Unohana...
"Have you regained consciousness, Isane?" Unohana said as she looked at Isane.
"Captain Unohana! I..."
"Quiet. It seems you received the lightest blow, but still, you should not move around too much. Let's descend, Minazuki."
"Are you hurt, Captain Unohana? Lieutenant Kotetsu!" One of the Shinigami shouted as they ran towards the duo.
"No." Unohana said. "Let everyone out and return, Minazuki. Their wounds are not serious. Being in Minazuki's stomach should have helped them recover. Lay them down in the Relief Station until they wake up."
"Yes." One of the shinigami said.
"Such Spiritual Pressure." Isane said. "Is someone still there?"
"Captain Kuchiki is still battling one of the Ryoka. The other one got away before we could pursue him. The other captains have gone elsewhere to fight. We will not be able to stop them ourselves. Especially that brunette Ryoka. Follow me, Isane. There's somewhere I want to go."
.
WIth Shunsui and Jushiro...
"This should be far enough." Shunsui said.
"Yes. No one else will get hurt if we're out here." Jushiro said.
Nanao appeared kneeling on the ground.
"Nanao you're last!" Shunsui said.
"You're both too fast." She gasped when she saw Yamamoto in front of them. Shunsui and Jushiro looked towards Yamamoto.
"I must say you're early." Shunsui said.
"No brat has ever been successful escaping from me." Yamamoto said. "Now come you rascals. You won't get let off with just a thrashing." He said as fire started appearing around him.
Head Captain Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto of the 13 Court Guard Squads. His Spiritual Pressure is enormous. Even two captains together might not be enough to win. There's only one thing I can do...Nanao thought. Suddenly immense spiritual pressure appeared, making her gasp and fell to the ground.
"Leave! I haven't the patience to teach a mere infant like you how to breathe." Yamamoto said.
"It's all right, Nanao." Shunsui said. "Get yourself together. Sorry. I shouldn't have brought you with me." He said as he picked up Nanao and flash stepped a few meters away.
Shunsui slowly put down Nanao on the ground.
I can't believe it. Nanao thought. How could he do this much, just by looking into my eyes? Even two captains together might not be enough to win? No, I was so naive. This is not good. No..Captain Kyoraku...
"Your Flash Step is magnificent. Now you're able to cover so much ground." Yamamoto said.
"Thanks." Shunsui said.
"Looking back, the two of you were always in a class of your own. You had a weakness for girls and behaved scandalously, but you were thoughtful, and your ability to see the truth far outshone the others, Shunsui. And you, Jushiro, though you were frail, you were daring and popular. Everyone looked up to you. And when it came time to battle, you were both transcendent. No one could hold a candle to either one of you. You were both strong-willed. You never let up on training and honed your strength. You were the first captains to come out of the academy that I founded. You were my pride and joy as if you were my own sons. I believed in you! That although we had different thoughts, we walked the same path. Such a pity." Yamamoto said as his cane caught fire and turned to a zanpakuto.
"Master Genryusai..." Jushiro said.
"Not another word. Words have no use any longer."
Jushiro and Shunsui placed their hands on the hilt of their zanpakutos.
"Draw your swords!" Yamamoto said as he unsheathed his zanpakuto.
Jushiro and Shunsui dodged the hit and fell back. "What are you two thinking? Do you think you can fight me without releasing your Zanpakuto?"
"Do we really have to fight, Old Man Yama?" Shunsui said solemnly.
"Silence! I thought I taught you that I never forgive anyone who defies justice." Yamamoto said.
"But you're the one who also taught us to fight for our own sense of justice, Old Man Yama." Shunsui said.
"You also taught us to become strong just for that reason, Master!" Jushiro added.
"Nonsense! Personal justice does not take precedence over the world's justice." Yamamoto shouted.
"Then, what is the justice of the world? Master Genryusai!
"Did you not hear me? As I said...There's nothing to discuss! All things Of this world, turn to ashes! Ryujinjakka!"

Indra's Kamui Dimension
Indra whistled at the inferno. "This reminds me of old times when we used to quarrel. However, compared to this, ours was much more terrifying and powerful."
Kodzuchi and Hyakki Yagyo looked at him with disbelief.
"Y-You are saying your quarrel was like this." Hyakki Yagyo said nervously.
"Indeed." Indra said.
"T-Then how was a real fight like?" Kodzuchi asked hesitantly.
Indra smirked. "Well, for one thing, it was like reshaping the whole landscape on a larger scale."
Hyakki Yagyo and Kodzuchi's eyes widened. Impossible.
Indra chuckled at their disbelief.

Somewhere in Soul Society
"Who are you?! Are you one of the intruders?!" One of the soul reapers shouted as he looked at the man in front of her.
"I guess? I actually don't know." The man scratched his neck nervously and laughed nervously.
The soul reapers sweatdropped. Idiot.
"Oh, and my name is Shiro, and my brother's name is Kuro! Nice to meet you!"
The brunette soul reaper narrowed his eyes at the man. "You don't look like a 'Shiro' person, and we didn't ask for your brother's name anyway!!"
"Well, those are our names. Hahaha..." Shiro laughed nervously.
"Anyway, whoever you are we won't let you proceed!" The Leader said and put his hand on his zanpakuto's hilt.
Shiro sighed. "I really don't want to fight, you know. Unlike Kuro, I'm a peaceful man. I don't like violence."
The Soul Reapers ignored him and lunged at him.
Shiro blocked the katana with his own and sighed. "I guess there's no choice."
