Hello people that are reading this! First of all, thank you for taking your time to read this story as this is my first story EVER! Yay! So excited! *Ahem* Anyway I hope you enjoy and constructive criticism is always welcome!

Chapter 1: The Arrival

Clack! Clack! Clack! "Attention! There is an unknown object that is piercing the Shakonmaku*! I repeat…"

Unknown Man: "Follow me! It looks like that thing is gonna crash over there!"

The Unknown Man runs towards the direction of where it looks like a large object will land. He is accompanied by an Unknown Woman who is running beside him and what seems like a legion of other people who are wearing black kimonos.

BOOM

"The unknown object has pierced the Shakonmaku! It has landed near Squad 11's barracks! I repeat…"

Unknown Man: "Maybe we should let squad 11 handle it… I kinda feel bad for anyone if they were on or in that thing…"

Unknown Woman: "Don't be a fool! Of course we're going! We have a duty to sustain the reputation of Squad 13!"

Unknown Man: "But I'm in Squad 6…"

Unknown Woman: "It doesn't matter! You're a shinigami and you're going!"

The Unknown Woman grabs the Unknown Man by his wrist and practically drags him to the crash site, while the rest of the shinigami that were with them follow, sweat-dropping.

By the time the two get there, along with the legion of other people following, they are confronted with an unusual scene. There was a circle of shinigami that were surrounding the object that crashed, which is what they expected. However, it was the very object that crashed that they were so transfixed on. What they saw was a huge, semi-transparent crystal with a slight blue hue. What made this even stranger was that the crystal was practically radiating with spiritual pressure.

Unknown Woman: "H-hey do you see that?" She says wide-eyed, her facial expression shaped as if she had seen a ghost.

Unknown Man: "Y-yeah… to think something like that crashed into the Seireitei… Also… That thing is emitting spiritual pressure… What do you think it is?"

Unknown Woman: "N-no, I'm not talking about the crystal, look closer"

Unknown Man: "Closer?..." He narrows his eyes, concentrating at the crystal, and what he sees makes his eyes grow wide. "What the… Hey wait there's a person in that thing!"

A/N

I hoped you like the first chapter! I know it may be short, but this chapter is kinda like a test run for me. Don't worry though! I'll definitely try hard to increase the length of future chapters!

See ya next time!
