After running outside, Ichigo and his friends found seven people, two of which were twin girls, but all of them were wearing blood red Soul Reaper robes.

"People of Karakura Town, we are The Fallen," said Dāku, who was a tall skinny man with black hair and yellow eyes, which the others were surrounding.

"Wait, can all of these people see them?" asked Orihime as she looked at the crowed.

"It's because of those Soul Flowers," said Death as he pointed at some nearby black flowers with yellow dots.

"They're everywhere," said Rukia.

"What are Soul Flowers?" asked Chad.

"They're flowers that boost the spiritual awareness of the humans around them, I thought they all went extinct centuries ago," said Death.

"Very observant of you, Death," said Dāku as he noticed them.

"I hope you're ready to die today, Dāku," said Death.

"Who's going to do that, you and your week power?" asked Dāku with an evil laugh while pointing at Death.

"No, the man with the power of the Soul King will," said Ichigo as he stepped up with the blunt side of his Zanpakutō sitting on his right shoulder.

"Hey, that's Ichigo," said Keigo from across the street.

"And everyone else is with him," said Mizuho.

"Let's test your power then, Gondo, destroy the boy with the orange hair," said Dāku.

"You got it boss," said Gondo who was a big muscular man with no hair and green eyes. His robe was partly opened to reveal his chest and a sword on his left side that had a black and white seith.

"Bring it on, big guy," said Ichigo. Suddenly, Gondo vanished before reappearing behind Ichigo, his Zanpokutō ready to cut right through Ichigo, who used Zangetsu to block it.

"Nice try," said Ichigo as he swung Zangetsu to knock Gondo away.

"That's it, let's take him down, Leo," said Gondo as he took his Zanpakutō and stabbed it into his chest. Suddenly, a flash of blood red retsu surrounded Gondo as he transformed into a giant red humanoid lion.

"So, this is his released form," said Ichigo.

"No one has ever defeated me in this form," said Gondo.

"Then let's see if that holds true; Taiyouga Tensho (Heaven Piercing Sun Fang)," said a voice out of nowhere. A giant slash of blue retsu then hit into Gondo's face.

"Gah, who the hell did that?!" asked Gondo as he recovered from the attack.

"I did," said Karin as she walked up in a Soul Reaper outfit.

"Wait, since when did Karin become a Soul Reaper?!" asked Ichigo who was stunned by this news.

"I trained her a few weeks ago," said Isshin.

"And now I am going to take care of him," said Karin.

"No, I will," said Chad as he stepped up.
