Hello again to those in the fanfic world. This will be my third story and second major one. This is going to be another crossover. In particular it will be a Witchblade/Bleach crossover. This is set just after the Witchblade series ends so it may contain spoilers. It will also contain mature themes and violence so only suitable for teens and older. Now enjoy my crossover as Masane enters a strange new world and longs to one day be reunited with her estranged daughter Rihoko.

1. Prologue of the Epilogue

MASANE:

The power is rushing through me, it has taken over. My body, slowly decaying as I face the hundreds of I-weapons below. They are drawn to my power, like moths to a light. I am their goddess - yet even I am a mortal.

I gaze at the thing that has caused me so much grief. This 'thing' I never even asked for. It has ruined my life and I won't let it ruin my daughter's. No, I can't let her suffer the same way I have. This must end with me and end now.

Golden light emits from it. The thing pulsates and glows. Now my entire body is pure light. The remnants of Tokyo tower appear as a lighthouse as I shine on the destroyed city like a lighthouse. The flooding I-weapons are overcome by my light and are vaporised. I pan around to have one last look at the panoramic scene that was my life, and now my death. I will leave here and take the Witchblade with me. No longer will this world suffer at man's lust for power.

I spot a small person hundreds of metres away on the other side of the shore. It is a small girl with navy hair and a pink bag.

"Rihoko..."

I hear her in the distance. It is soft but I know it's her voice.

"Goodbye Mama."

Goodbye Rihoko. Goodbye the world I loved and hated so much.

Hello to a new life...
