Finite Supernova

Within the universe black holes and stars are common.

So what's a black hole? A celestial body with such an intense pull that nothing, not light, not electromagnetic radiation – nothing can escape its pull; hence the name black hole. It possesses an infinite density and is a one-way pathway because things can go in but cannot escape out. Its core is termed as singularity and the outer boundary is the event horizon, the end point beyond which anything and everything is sucked into the cosmic whirlpool of infinite density.

But how do black holes form?

Most common theory is where a colossal star with a mass of more than 3 times the Sun's reaches the end of its life, gets crushed under its own gravity, leaving behind a compact black hole.

Now, what's a star? A star is a fixed luminous point in the night sky that is a large, remote incandescent body like the sun. A star is a sphere of gas held together by its own gravity. The force of gravity is continually trying to cause the star to collapse, but this is counteracted by the pressure of hot gas and/or radiation in the star's interior. This is called hydrostatic support.

But how do stars form?

Stars form when giant gas clouds start to clump together and collapse in upon themselves. This clumping is often caused by energy waves from nearby exploding supernovae. As they collapse, the molecules that form the clouds compress in upon each other to form helium and hydrogen; once gravity pushes them together strongly enough, nuclear fission will begin to occur in the core of the star.

Here begins the story of two infinite cores which finite being is dependent on one another.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter one: Disintegrating the once into the heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A black hole as deep as the universe is dying today. Other planets may not know it, and humans on earth may not care.

A star as bright as the sun is dying today. Other planets may not see it, and humans on earth may not notice for a thousand years.

What the history books have yet to acquire the knowledge of, these two celestial structures of life will pave then demolish the road way to greater supremacy.

As they die together, both collapsing upon their own gravity, a pull occurs. Yet this pull is not inwards, but towards each other. Coming together soon resulting in the opposites of themselves, they form a warp of light, sucking and brightening everything that it came into paths with.

In the mist of this undocumented chemistry a beat could be heard through the universe. It was the first heart beat that took place in the entire spectrum of Astronomy.

A dying black hole came together with a star holding the same fate to create a life form beyond the knowledge of everything.

This life form just so happened to be careening towards the planet called Earth.

January 1st

On the out skirts of Karakura Town was a standard cottage. There lived two humans, the Copensail's. A woman named Dolly around the age of 53; an old school teacher now retired. A man named Carwin; at the age of 55 he maintained a job as a clerk in a local bank inside of town. It was their usual Sunday routine, listen to the rhythmic motion of their rocking chairs as they swayed together while holding hands, sip on the homemade lemonade that Dolly whipped up so well, and watch as nature went by in its own tasks of continuing life on the average morning.

The couple had been married for 37 years, with no complication, yet no children. They lived happily together within their cottage away from the bustling city, but surrounded by the timeless tick of nature. The days had been kind to them, as so the years, decades, and so on.

Looking out across the well-trimmed grass, and past the fence encased by tulips, Carwin had notice the sky get brighter. The way the sun showed the clear white paint with a gleam as if coated with grease doubled in that moment.

Detangling fingers with his wife he stood from his rigid chair which creaked when left vacant. Stepping down the worn brown steps he pressed his hat forward gazing up to the mercilessly bright sun.

"Carwin what is it?" Dolly called from her chair which sat motionless.

Speechless from what his eyes conceived was a falling sun, Carwin made his way back towards the cottage hurrying his wife with words of calming concern, "Now, now let's just make our way back inside; nothing to worry about, just the world coming to an end tis' all."

"What do you mean the world is coming to an end?"

Ignoring her words of protest and confusion he shuffled Dolly inside and closed the door behind them. Taking her hand and making their way to the front window to witness what they thought was the end of their average, happy lives.

The ray that appeared to fall faster than the bright light it exuded continued with not awareness of time. It was truly as if the sun was falling upon the small town, and directly upon the Copensails' cottage. Shielding their eyes from the beam that could be seen by the entire country of Japan, the couple was shaken by a crash that stirred the foundation of their home. On impact a consuming black out took over the entire surroundings. Not even the sun seemed to penetrate the darkness that lasted only a split second; long enough for the country of Japan to notice.

With the blinding light and darkness over everything outside seemed to be back to normal. Hesitant yet still in an embrace with their hands, the couple made their way to the front door. Taking the slightly warm door handle in hand Carwin began to peek outside, his wife looking out from behind him.

"Holy guacamole, Dolly! There's a sun in our front yard!"

"Oh dear I hope it didn't dry out my flowers." Dolly whined.

Easing out the door way to witness the crater right smack dab in the middle of their yard, the Copensails gazed at the bright sheer white silk fabric dance with a deep black fabric from within the crater.

As if the fabric had an atmosphere of its own, it continued to dance in the windless area around it.

Too afraid to approach, yet too curious to let the situation go uninspected, the couple made their way to the foreign hole.

As they came near weary of the results of their actions the fabric that danced so beautifully and tall slowly began to recede down into the hole. Carwin peered over watching this peculiar form of art until the fabric almost appeared to wrap around two small forms. Instead on encasing the small bodies the fabric changed colors and blended into skin. The once bright white changed into creamy fair skin, and as of the black, it turned into light tan skin.

Deep within the hole started to cry two babies.

"What do you see Carwin?" Dolly called from behind him.

"A... miracle…a true god sent miracle."

The Copensails took in the two spectacular babies that they believed were god sent. Two baby girls, twins, yet both almost like yin and yang. They decided to name the creamy skinned baby Reena. She began to grow straight as a pistol white hair the moment they brought her inside and her bright blue eyes seemed almost transparent. Now the lightly tanned skinned baby was given the name Royce. She had jet black hair with so many waves it could be considered a black sea. Royce's eyes were emerald green; deep and never ending.

In a matter of days the two children grew bigger, not substantially but enough to let the old couple know that these two blessing were unlike any other.

The babies had a heart beat that would drum to a riotous thump whenever close together. With them staying in that cottage and only in that cottage together with the couple the faint sound of their simultaneously beating hearts showed more proof of how unique they really were.

It had been about two weeks and the babies were now toddlers. Dolly would often be seen running into town buying more baby clothes yet a size bigger each time. Locals who knew her began to question her frequent spending, but she would wave them off with a, "Oh, my niece has made me a great aunt and I just want to make sure I do my part as a new great aunt." It was weird how the Copensails fell in love with the two oddly similar yet different toddlers so quickly.

The thought of taking the two quickly aging children out in public often crossed their mind. What lies would they have to tell? Or would anyone notice their rapid aging? To keep it safe for the twins they ultimately decided that until they figure out a still point for their aging process the two girls would have to stay hidden from the public eye.

January 17th

One evening while the toddlers were playing in the living room there came a knock on the door. Carwin had shuffled from his chair in the living area in a nervous rush. Company never came around unannounced, and it was pretty much too late to try and hide the two girls considering the visitor probably heard their giggling. Dolly was in the kitchen preparing dinner, so he called to her and told her he'd get the door.

Upon opening Carwin had noticed an older man with very long white eyebrows and a beard to match, which seemed to hit the floor. The elderly stranger wore an old fashion long sleeved white cloak upon a black kimono with a white tie around his waist and sandals.

"Good Evening Mr. Copensails." The old man said.

"How do you do?" Carwin spoke with a little defensive concern.

"Pardon me, sir. My name is Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, do you think I may come in and have a word? It is in regards to your valuable findings."

Carwin knew exactly what the man was mentioning to, but he asked anyway, "And what valuable findings do you think I have?"

The bearded man chuckled. "Well sir I am referring to the very unique young toddlers you have in your living room."

Carwin looked at the man intently, taking in mind his posture and the way he held himself. His smile was more than friendly, but you never know with some people.

Keeping a close eye on him Carwin invited him in.

Leading Mr. Yamamoto to the living room where Reena and Royce played they took a seat in the chairs set around the central play area.

"Do you mind calling your wife in here Mr. Copensails?" Yamamoto asked.

Giving a sly look to the man Carwin called for her. About two minutes later Dolly walked in and noticed the visitor and stopped in the door way, all while wiping her hands on her apron.

"Carwin who's your friend?" Dolly asked nervously.

"This man calls himself Genryūsai Yamamoto and he says he has something important to talk to us about in regards to Royce and Reena."

"Okay." Dolly mumbled more concerned now as she eased her way to sit next to her husband.

"I am from the Soul Society. It is the place where most departed souls and soul reapers dwell."

"And you expect us to believe just because you come in here with your odd clothing that you're a soul reaper?" Carwin asked agitated.

"Well, sir, considering the beings that you have in your living room I would believe you would be open to the fact that there are soul reapers, and I am one of them."

Glancing at the girls Carwin let down his guard—a little, "Tell me why you are here?"

"Well, as I was saying before, I am a soul reaper and I am captain of the 1st Division in the Gotei 13 and also the Captain-Commander of the whole Gotei 13. I am here to negotiate a bargain."

"What type of bargain?" Dolly asked clenching her apron in her hands.

"In exchange of one of your findings I won't take both of them by force."

"What kind of bargain is that?" Carwin yelled.

"My opinion, Mr. Copensails, it's a good one. Instead of me taking both twins I will leave you with one and have an officer from a different squad keep a close eye on her progression."

Dolly and Carwin looked at each other and then to the twins still giggling away as they tugged on a stuffed animal, so oblivious of what was transpiring.

"What do you plan on doing with them?" Dolly asked nervously.

"Mrs. Copensails these young ladies have a spiritual energy so powerful that it ranks about the same level as mine maybe even higher. They wield a power that the Soul Society could put to some use, and considering how powerful they are individually I believe only one is needed. She will grow up as a Soul Reaper, and learn to use her powers to benefit Gotei 13."

A silence filled the air for what seemed like hours.

"How can we choose between the two?" Mumbled Dolly as tears filed her eyes.

Carwin turned his head to look at the man next him with a glare so hateful that the tears that filled the rim didn't do anything to lighten it.

The old man walked away from the house with one of the twins upon his chest as she gazed over his shoulder at the cottage that quickly became home, the stuffed animal from earlier dangled in her hand, yet it was ripped in half. Carwin and Dolly stood in the open door way silently sobbing as the twin Carwin held lightly reached out with the other half of the stuff animal loosely hanging from her fingers.

She knew something was wrong and they both knew that they weren't meant to be separated.

In the setting sun their hearts began to beat at tempos of their own.
