Chapter 1: Apocalypse

He was floating. Floating in nothingness was not the way he expected his life to end.

That bastard Aizen decided if he couldn't possess the hogyoku then no one could. As I fought him I was able to knock it from the centre of his chest. Suddenly gargantas everywhere opened up and drew massive amounts of reishi into Hueco Mundo. Suddenly all the collected reishi was compacted into a single point causing it to explode violently obliterating all 3 know dimensions.

As I was gathering reishi at the time while everyone else was resting or healing I was able to survive dimensional collapse. Now I just float hear waiting for the end.

"How would you like another chance?" another voice whispered in the dark

I opened my eyes and started to rotate in the weightless nothingness with small controlled bursts of reishi. Even by bringing up my reiatsu to make myself glow I could still see nothing.

"Who's out there?" I call hoping the voice is not just my imagination.

Suddenly a form of white light phased into existence. After spending so much time in the dark I shielded my eyes from this new light in front of me. After my eyes adjusted slightly I was able to take a look at the being. The only definitive feature about him was that he was humanoid. There were other features to describe it just humanoid and glowing white.

"Who the hell are you?" I said whilst reaching for my sword others thought was giant on my back.

"Relax I mean you no harm, and for who I am, I am the person who can give you a second chance." It stated calmly.

Slowly I moved my hand away from my sword and floated closer to the being. The being seemed to be producing spirit energy and something else I could pin down, but hell I wasn't any good at detecting and identifying any kind of energy anyway due to my limited control.

"I am sure you have may have questions but first I have some." He spoke in his accent less voice. "Firstly do you want another chance, and if so what will you do with it?"

The first question I am unsure on. Do I deserve it? Technically I was the one who just blew up reality. I know Aizen created whatever device caused it but I almost literally lit the fuse. I could just sit here and take the rest of my guilt with me. I then thought about the second question. I can't as hell live a normal life, especially all the shit I've been through in the past year. I will probably end up protecting something; however my current situation shows how much I suck at that.

After much debation I turn to the apparition. "If you can I would like to redeem myself and I will do this by protecting something that's worth it."

The being seemed to ponder this then spoke "Protecting something seems to be at the core of you being. I can help you. I am what we refer to ourselves as creators. We each create existences for us to live in and watch. If one of them dies then both become fragmented and wither. To be honest you are what's keeping me alive. As we die a massive amount of energy is produced which becomes the next creator."

"So basically your god." I interrupt.

The being laughed and shook his head "The term god is infinitely flexible. Technically you are classed as a god and with your current power you could probably kill me. God is a matter of prospective by the person who named the being that title." His presence suddenly felt more serious. "What I can do for you is I can create a capsule that will allow you to survive reality resets after a creator dies, and allow you to move onto another reality. It can be run and maintained on your own power though I will have to increase it by giving over my remaining power and you can only be awakened by your purpose."

"Are you sure you are ok?" I ask. "You are basically giving up your life so I can live again."

"Don't worry. I am fading away anyway. By doing this I can die knowing that I helped someone and that future reality's will have more protection against this kind of calamity. Now let's start with creating the capsule."

Half an hour later I was floating in front of a large black cube which opened in front of me. Inside a large black chair sat with a holder for my blade and my soul reaper badge.

"Now," the creator said "I am all but done. Go sit in the capsule and I will transfer my power to you. You shall be in stasis for many years to come but eventually be reawakened. With this you can cross innumerable realities and with them their knowledge. By the way when I transfer my powers over to you will effectively be immortal." He said casually.

"WHAT!" I yelled "Why in hells name would I want to have the same thing that bastard wanted to achieve?!"

"Well it isn't true immortality, only aging stops and being a soul that means you are resistant to illness so that means you can only die through massive injury. And for you that would mean massive." He stated "If you're worried about not dying then in my experience nothing lasts forever. This is the only way."

"Fine, I will do it." He said reluctantly

"Thank you, and I wish you all the best in the future, Ichigo Kurosaki" the creator said as the capsule closed and my consciousness faded…

Nick Fury walked into a huge cavern that should not have existed. A team of archaeologists found an underground cavern when searching the area for lost tombs. The archaeologists quickly found out that that all the rock around it was natural and all hollowed out. As soon as shield caught wind of this they immediately took over investigating it.

Stepping inside Fury could see what looked like traditional Japanese buildings that sloped upwards to the largest building. Dotted around the underground cavern where various training grounds and weapons, mostly Japanese katana. As he walked up the large main flight of stairs that led directly to the top he noticed several large buildings that looked like they were living accommodations for the inhabitants. This place looked like a military training camp…

As he reached the top he greeted Agent Coulson who was with a science team and a few other Agents.

"What do we have Phil?" Fury asked in a tired tone. After this he had to go to the tesseract base where Selvig was having problems with the cube.

"Well I think that powerful objects like being square. As our research team reached the top of the tower we found this," He said pointing inside the top building "Large black cube. The researchers couldn't identify the element. Everything from laser cutters to grinders couldn't make a scratch in it. Then our wave sensors went ballistic after we set them up. Energy is being moved around the air in high frequency waves. It's a bit like when a person touches it by mistake. Can you guess the source?"

"Yes I can." Fury stated. "Can it be moved?"

"Yes but it's going to take some heavy duty machinery. Where do you want it delivered to?"

"The only available space is the Helicarrier with the necessary facilities. I don't care what it takes get it done."

"Yes Director" Coulson said whilst reaching for his phone.

It's going to be a long week Fury thought…
