It was a blood bath. The once clean track field was now littered with four bodies, all laying in a pool of their own blood. Orihime was laying face down, Chad laying over her as if he tried to cover her with his own body. Uryuu was laying on his back, a long wound on his chest that soaked his uniform. Zennosuke, the afro haired shinigami who guarded Karakura Town in the background, layed against a tree, his zanpakuto shattered next to him.

Saburo's reaction was instant. He raced towards CHad and Orihime who he deemed more injured. He quickly, and carefully pulled Chad off of Orihime and started immediate first aid. Matsuri ran to Uryuu and quickly began to heal him with her healing kido. Hitsugaya and Tadashi went to Zennosuke and started to heal them, neither of the two all that well versed in healing kido.

"Chad, Uryuu, Orihime? Get up!" Ichigo screamed, his eyes wide and face pale. Rukia next to him tried to pull him away but he was too strong, "Damn it, get up!"

No one answered him.

He fell to his knees, gulping as Rukia fell next to him and tried to console him, "They'll be fine Ichigo, just let the others heal them okay?"

From where he was Saburo spoke up, "I'm going to have to call in back up, these guys need to be healed by Captain Unohana or Lieutenant Isane, I can only stop the bleeding here with Chad and Orihime, the other two will be fine but these two are in the danger zone." He looked over his shoulders to Rukia, "Call it in Rukia, either get them here or we need to move them to Seireitei!"

Rukia nodded, seperating with Ichigo and pulling out her own cell. SHe pressed a few buttons before bringing the phone to her ear, "This is Officer Kuchiki of Squad 13, we have four injured, two in the danger zone, the other two needing immediate healing. Third Seat Saburo of Squad Four has requested the aid of Captain Unohana or Lieutenant Isane. The injured are Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Sado, Uryu Ishida, and Zennosuke Kurumadani."

There was sound from the other end before they ended the call, Rukia sighing in relief, "It seems that the Research and Development saw the fade of reiatsu on their scanners, help is already on the way."

Not even three minutes after saying that a seikamon appeared behind Ichigo. Rukia turned to it but Ichigo continued to stare at the bodies of his three best friends.

The seikamon opened up to reveal Lieutenant Isane and four other Forth Sqaud Members.

"Alright, you two, go relieve Captain Tadasi and Hitsugaya. You two assist Lieutenant Matsuri!" They were off like rockets, immediately going to work. The two Captains muttered their thanks before walking back to Rukia and Ichigo.

Ichigo was hypervenilating, clenching his knees for support, "They'll be okay, they'll be okay." It seemed that he was trying to reassure himself. Tadashi sighed and closed his eyes.

Not another one. My first two missions...I can't let anyone else die here...they can't.

RUkia wrapped her arms around Ichigo's shoulders, bringing him to rest on her chest, "Who could've done something like this?"

Captain Hitsugaya decided to answer that, "It wasn't the scythe user, these wounds appear to be from an ax."

Rukia clenched her teeth, "Damn those Tenraihana."

"Shit, we're losing him! Saburo, prepare for emergency surgery, we don't have time to move his body!"

Ichigo's eyes widened and panned over to Chad. Saburo had just ripped off Chad's shirt while Isane was preparing medical tools.

"His reiatsu is stabilized but his physical body is broken. He has broken ribs, a couple of which raptured his right lung. Not only that but his heart also took some damage when he protected Orihime. The Fourth Division usually heals the reaitsu body first but with their cases they need to do the opposite. If they were shinigami then it would be different." Captain Hitsugaya said, hearing Isane and Saburo muttering to each other.

Tadashi looked over at Hitsugaya, "There's no time to explain to him, what we need to do now is go and find this bastard. He may still be here and just hiding his reiatsu. You go check the the east side of town, I'll check the west. Meet up at Urahara's Shop, we may need their help with this after all."

The two Captains nodded to each other before shunpoing away.

Ichigo, still holding onto Rukia, gasped as he heard Uryu coughing.

Matsuri yelled out, "Uryu Ishida is stabilized and waking up, he's out of the danger zone."

Uryuu coughed before looking up at the Lieutenant, "Orihime, Chad...Zennosuke...are they okay?"

Matsuri nodded even though they didn't know of their true condition yet. Uryu smiled and closed his eyes, "T-That's good. The person who attacked us...I wasn't able to read her reiatsu but I could tell...she's as strong as a Captain!" After he said that his breathing changed, falling unconcious.

Matsuri groaned and the two people helping her heal him sighed, "Go and help with Orihime now, let Saburo and Isane heal Chad themselves." The two nodded and procceded to heal Orihime so their Third Seat and Lieutenant didn't have to heal two people at once.

Ichigo sighed once he saw Uryu was alright. Rukia smiled before sighing and pulling Ichigo to his feet, "You should go home and rest, they'll be here when you wake up."

He shakingly nodded, "Y-Yeah...I'll just...wait for them at home..."

He stood up and Rukia started to lead him home.


Karin and Yuzu had just passed by the park on the way to the high school where Karin could faintly sense everyone's reiatsu when they heard the screams. Yuzu and Karin ran to a stop light and looked down the street to see cars flying through the air and crashing into buildings and other cars.

Yuzu gasped, "What's going on?"

Karin's eyes didn't leave the street, "I-I don't know. I don't even see anything!"

They both looked at each other before nodding, running further up the street and past the fleeing civilians. They ducked under cars, avoided any of the fires and broken glass on the ground.

While they weren't looking something came flying towards them, landing in front of them and cracking the pavement. They stopped and backed up, looking down at broken and twisted motorcycle.

Yuzu gulped, "Is...is that blood?"

Karin pulled her away, "I need to go find if anyone over there is alive, you stay here okay?"

She shook her head, "No, I need to stay with you!"

She's way too soft to see anything more if she continues on, this way at least I can keep her out of the danger zone.

Karin smiled and patted her head, keeping her eyes open for anything else, "I'll be fine, have some faith in your older twin sister." She smiled before turning and running up the street, calling for any survivors.

Yuzu sighed, worry clear in her eyes, "Be safe, Karin."


Karin had thankfully not seen any bodies, just broken cars, a couple of which were hanging out of the the buildings on either side of the street.

"Hello? Anybody here?"

There was nothing so she decided to continue down the street but stopped when she the wall of flames in front of her.

It was truly a scene from the apocalpyse. Cars broken and overturned, buildings with broken windows and cars, streetlamps out of the ground and laying across the street, fires spreading throughout the whole area.

Karin coughed as the smoke from the fire enveloped the whole area, "Hello? Someone answer me!"

She dropped her bag of soccerballs to cover her mouth better, trying not to breath in the smoke.

"Hey."

She gasped and turned around to see a tall dark skinned woman wearing a fur trimmed brown shirt. She had shoulder guards on that was covered in gray/brown fur that covered her shoulders. Her arms were bare until her hands where she wore black gloves. She wore black pants that was covered in the same colored fur from the knee down.

But what Karin was most intimidated by was the large viking ax on her back that was easily twice the size of Karin but only a little taller than its owner.

"Hm, you can see me?" The woman narrowed her brown eyes, "You have a good amount of reiatsu for a girl your age. I'm impressed."

Karin gulped, "Are you the one who's doing this?" It was getting hard to breath, even her voice was getting raspy now.

The woman frowned before waving her hand, the smoke fading away and allowing Karin to breath, "No, that would be my companion." She pointed over to the wall of flames, "That would be him, do be careful. He loves to eat children."

Karin gulped and looked over at the wall of flames to see them part and reveal a large bulky man with pale skin and ripped muscles. He wore black hakama leggings and a ripped and torn white shirt that was barely hanging on. He was bald and only had one eye, the other covered by a burn scar that covered the whole left side of his face to his chin.

"Young girl, what is your name?"

Karin gulped and looked back at the tall woman, "Karin...Karin Kurosaki." She took a breath before straightening up, "Tell him to stop, he's hurting innocent people!"

The woman shrugged, "It's an order from Number Two himself, we have no choice. Our orders were to reak havoc and kill any reiatsu aware people." She sighed, "My name is Kameyo, I'm afraid that since you can see me I'll have to kill you."

Karin's eyes widened and she stepped back, tripping over her bag of forgotten soccerballs. Kameyo pulled the ax off her back and lifted it above her head.

"Don't worry, it'll be quick."

Karin closed her eyes as the ax barrowed towards her.

She opened her eyes with a gasp, the first thing she saw being being the spot where she had just been. The ax was impaled in the concrete, the concrete cracking around it. Kameyo pulled the ax out and frowned, "It took you a while to get here. I thought we wouldn't get so far until that." She turned to the big brute throwing cars, "Tokodoki! You can stop now."

The brute stopped, grunting and put down a streetlight, "Kam-e-yo."

Karin frowned and looked up, her eyes widening and a small blush appearing on her cheeks. She was being held in the arms of the person she was teasing not even thirty minutes prior. She was being held bridal style, cradled to his chest.

"Shiro?"

He frowned as he looked down at her, "Fool, what are you doing here? You know you'll just be in my way."

Karin nodded with a small smile, "We saw what was going on and thought we should go see if they're survivors. Didn't get too far though."

He sighed and looked up, "Stupid girl." He narrowed his eyes at Kameyo, "I'll be back."

He turned and shunpoed away.

Kameyo frowned, "He just leaves us here? Seems irresponsible."

"He did that because we're here."

Kamey and even the brute Tokodoki turned and looked up to see Tadashi and Matsuri. Matsuri pulled out her zanpakuto and pointed it at the woman.

"She's the one who attacked them. She's mine." She narrowed her eyes and her reiatsu skyrocketed, "It just so happens that I owe that girl you attacked." Kameyo nodded and hefted her ax in front of her.

Tadashi frowned and looked towards the brute, "He's dumb but he's insanely powerful. He's stronger than Noroi."

Kameyo nodded, "His name is Tokodoki, the Sixth Seat of Tenraihana. The only reason he's not higher up is because he's dumb and can't think straight."

Tokodoki walked forward, "Shi-nig-ami!" Tadashi appeared in front of him, looking up the three or four feet up at Tokodoki's face.

This guy makes Captain Komamura look small! Not only is he three or four feet taller than me his arms are at least as big as me!

"Shi-nig-ami! Shi-nig-ami! Kill! Kill!" He pounded his chest and yelled, his reiatsu creating a pressure around the whole area.

Tadashi raised an eyebrow while Matsuri's knees wobbled and Kameyo groaned.

Kameyo turned towards Matsuri, "Why don't we find another place to fight?"

Matsuri nodded, "I agree. Let's go." The two shunpoed away, leaving Tadashi and Tokodoki.

Tadashi sighed and looked up, "Ready to st-" He jumped away as Tokodoki's fist slammed into the ground, cracking the concrete and throwing up debris.

Tadashi's eyes widened, Damn, there's no form to his attack, it's all just brute strength, and I don't see any zanpakuto or wepaon of any kind, does he just depend on Hakuda?

He disappeared and reappared behind Tadashi who turned around with wide eyes as Tokodoki's fists slammed into Tadashi's face. Tadashi was sent flying, tumbling over the ground and skidding into a building that collapsed on top of him.

Tokodoki smiled, a happy gleam in his eyes, "Dead dead dead!"

The debris where the building once was shifted and Tadashi appeared, not all that injured but his Captain's haori with a few rips in it but still holding on perfectly.

"Damn, you pack a punch." Tadashi groaned before pulling off his Captain's haori and zanpakuto and laying them on the ground. He cracked his neck, "Alright, now I'm ready."

Tokodoki disappeared again, almost surprising Tadashi with his speed and punching forward, Tadashi grinning and crouching down. He brought back his right hand and punched forward, his fist meeting Tokodoki's, the moment they touched a bright silver light enveloped the area.
