"Hey there old pal I can't believe its been over 200 years. Time really does fly."

Shunsui said as he sat and spoke to the headstone of Captain Ukitake.

"Times have been peaceful nowadays but I have a bad feeling that there is something amiss. I don't know, you can just

feel it in the air."

"Head Captain Shunsui, you are needed back in your quarters to finish your tasks for the day!"

"I swear that Nanao is going to be the end of me. Well I guess duty calls take care old friend I'll see you later"

Head Captain Shunsui grudgingly stumbled back into his quarters and closed the door. In front of him stood

Captain Shinji Hirako, Captain Lisa Yadomaru, and Captain Hitsugaya.

"Head Captain Kyoraku, we have urgent news."

Stated Captain Hitsugaya.

"Yes, what is it Toshiro? What could be urgent enough for three Captains to show up at my quarters like this?"

"Well it appears as though the walls of the Dangai Precipice world have closed themselves shut."

Exclaimed Captain Yadomaru.

"And that means that entrance to the human world is impossible."

Stated Shinji.

"That is strange, any reason for why this may be happening?"

Asked a puzzled Kyoraku.

"No reason yet sir but we do have our Lieutenants briefing Captain Kurotsuchi on it."

Answered Captain Hitsugaya.

"Well at ease for now all we can do is wait for Captain Kurotsuchi's response."

"SIR!"

Shouted all the other Captains in dismissal, before they made their way back to their quarters.

The next morning began with a 6th year soon to be Shin O Academy graduate rising to his feet to begin taking his final exams. Yuzuki Gomara was that young man's name and he was on a mission to make sure that nobody would forget it. Yuzuki was of average height (about 5'10") with deep blue almost black hair the was short from the back to the top and was long at the bangs. He also had a very noticeable scar that ran almost the entire length of his right arm, so he covered it the best he could by wearing the long-sleeved variant of the uniform. Yuzuki was late as usual this morning and was rushing as fast as he could before they locked the doors for the exams.
