Negai roared mightily, loud enough to destroy a person's mind and possibly cause their ears to bleed. He was not roaring in pride, nor as a battle cry, not even as an animal instinct. He roared because he was now in pain. Inside the nightmare-ish body, was the real Negai coughing out blood from the inside. The reason he kept up his fight stance is that he cannot give up, not here. "I will protect those I hold close to me… I will return to them… I will make amends for what I have not done for Fuzen…" Negai thought. He took his battle stance and flapped his mighty wings, flying high into the sky.
Keiji laughed maniacally and flapped his wings mightily as well, taking to the sky with him. "I hope you were lying about me dying, because it is not I who will die, it shall be you, and I will make sure that you die here in a lonely death." he laughed maniacally, dragon roars backing up his voice and laughter yet again.
Negai disappeared within the blink of an eye suddenly.
"What the hell?" he looked around, trying to locate the bastard's Spiritual Pressure, but it was nowhere to be found. It seemed like he had hidden his Spiritual Pressure, that way he could not be sensed. Keiji closed his eyes, focusing his Spiritual Pressure into his claws, fangs, and the spikes on his back.
Negai reappeared above him, releasing his full Spiritual Pressure. "HOSHI-FUREA!" he called out the attack, blasting a high charge of red and black Spirit Energy with a high density of Spiritual Pressure.
Keiji looked up, sensing the Spiritual Pressure concentration, which ruined his concentration either way. He flew backwards, escaping from the attack with a maniacal laughter. Suddenly, the Hoshi-Furea blast seemed to have curved, flying towards Keiji yet again. "WHAT THE FUCK?" he thought, opening his large, gaping mouth. "NEGRO Y BLANCO CERO!" he called/roared the name of his next attack, a high charge of black and white Spirit Energy launching out of his mouth towards the Hoshi-Furea blast.
"HOSHI-FUREA!" a voice roared out from behind him. He turned to see Negai blasting another Hoshi-Furea attack. This attack had actually hit its mark because he was a bit closer to him at the time. The attack landed on the dragon's chest, away from his Hollow hole. The other Hoshi-Furea pushed the Negro y Blanco Cero right back at Keiji where his shoulder blades were located, the Hoshi-Furea curved again, moving in circles as if it were not meant to attack the opponent.
"You bastard… So that was only a feint attack, huh?" Keiji growled as he coughed blood.
"…" he seemed to have not answered. He just disappeared yet again. "Kuroi Kyohaku!" he roared/called out his next attack, blasting a pitch-black star from his mouth towards the sky. He looked down and opened his mouth yet again, large amounts of white Spirit Particles gathering in his mouth, being concentrated into the shape of a star. "Shiroi Kyohaku!" he called out a second one, blasting a white version of the Kuroi Kyohaku towards the ground. It sunk deep into the ground.
"What the fuck did you do?" Keiji demanded to know what just went on.
"…" Negai raised one of his frontal paws at Keiji's chest where the Hoshi-Furea had hit him.
Keiji looked down to see he now had black stars imprinted on his white scales, meanwhile white stars imprinted on his black scales. "So fucking what? It does not do anything to me except make me look racist." Keiji sweat dropped. "Unless… SO THAT IS YOUR PLAN! YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE ME A FUCKING RACIST! Well, congratu-fucking-lations, you did something right for once." Keiji laughed maniacally.
Negai shook his head, and opened his gaping mouth yet again. "HIRYUGEKIZOKUSHINTENRAIHO!" Negai called out a Kido.
"How the fuck are you going to launch Kido if you are now a beast?" Keiji asked with a sweat drop. Suddenly, several blasts of high density, white Kido Energy blasted out from his mouth, all aimed at Keiji.
His eyes opened suddenly and he took flight high into the sky to dodge the Kido that he hated so much. "HA! LOOKS LIKE YOU MISSED YOU BASTARD!" he roared.
Negai shook his head and thought "3... 2... 1..." Suddenly, roars of pain could be heard from Keiji, for the Kido blasts had redirected themselves and launched themselves at Keiji.
"You bastard… What the fuck was that…?" he asked, coughing blood again.
"…" he still would not answer. He pointed his paw in the direction of the encircling Hoshi-Furea that had never hit its mark.
"Oh, I get it now. You are using that as a reflector since it can curve around and reflect off the ground to hit the opponent from underneath." he seemed to have understood.
Negai chuckled in his mind "This retard thinks that is the only power it has…" He got serious and flew at Keiji, claws ready to stab him.
Keiji looked at him seriously and flew at him as well, his claws being filled with his Spirit Energy. Their claws made contact, clashing into each other. The claws grinded against one another, releasing multiple sparks.
Negai slashed upwards, aiming to hit him while he was distracted with just his other claw.
Keiji had done the same, but slashed downwards. Both their little sneak attacks failed because the claws crashed into each other, grinding against one another. More and more sparks were flying, and this seemed to be an even match. Both Keiji and Negai disappeared, leaving a silhouette of themselves. They reappeared, this time several meters away from each other.
Negai opened his mouth, making it look like he was charging high density Spiritual Pressure again.
"FUCK NO!" Keiji yelled, concentrating his Spiritual Pressure and Energy into his claws, fangs, and the spikes on his back. Suddenly, they all came off, launching themselves at Negai. The strangest part was that funeral music was playing in the background. However, there were no speakers, but this funeral music seemed to have been playing for Negai. "TAKE THIS! SHIKYO! (Japanese for DEATH!)" Keiji roared with a maniacal voice backing it up. The claws, fangs and spikes hit their mark on the surprised Negai.
Negai roared mightily in pain. This was not just piercing him; it seemed to have been burning him from the inside because it was filled with Keiji's Spiritual Pressure and Energy.
"NOW THAT YOU ARE PARALYZED IN PAIN…" Keiji yelled, a high amount of Spiritual Pressure and Energy gathering in his mouth. The Spiritual Pressure and Energy being gathered in his mouth were not only high in density; they were also in the color of black and white.
A Negro y Blanco Cero expected to come out, but boy was Negai dead wrong.
"Apocalipsis (Spanish for: Apocalypse)!" he roared maniacally, sending out a large blast of high density black and white Spiritual Pressure/Spiritual Energy.
Negai struggled, trying to escape but it seemed that the fangs, spikes, claws, and funeral music in the background were stopping him from making any movements at all. The high density black and white Spiritual Pressure/Spiritual Energy engulfed his entire body within one fell swoop. To Negai, it felt like he was not only getting burned, he was also taking several slice wounds that were healing themselves rapidly, but it was wasting his own life force as a price of the high speed healing. "Damnit!" he thought in mind, flapping his wings and using his mind to control his Hoshi-Furea that was behind Keiji. The blast flew to Keiji, who kept his Apocalipsis attack going. The Hoshi-Furea knocked into Keiji, causing him to lose focus of keeping the attack going. The moving Hoshi-Furea kept on attacking him, not exploding. It seemed more like it was a punch that kept hitting him over and over again. The Apocalipsis ceased, leaving a burnt up, sliced up Negai who was healing.
"WHAT THE FUCK? TELL THIS SHIT TO LEAVE ME ALONE!" Keiji yelled, taking more and more 'punches' from the Hoshi-Furea.
Negai panted, looking down at the ground to see that the sand completely turned white, meanwhile the sky turned pitch-black. "Perfect…" he thought, chanting several incantations.
"What the fuck are you saying?" Keiji demanded to know, still taking more and more 'punches' from the Hoshi-Furea which was now just getting on his nerves. He looked down at the ground as soon as he felt multiple Spiritual Pressures coming from the ground. His eyes widened, for he had seen something that was probably one of his nightmares.
"... Everyone you have killed currently are now being brought back... I figured you out you bastard... You use the Spiritual Pressure from those you have killed and absorb them. I noticed it when I felt the Spiritual Pressures of all the Soul Society Captains... Now then..." Negai said softly.
"How the fuck do you suppose you can bring them back?! There is no fucking possible way that you could revive the dead!" Keiji laughed demonically as if he had heard a joke escaping from Negai.
"Its a big price... But I have to waste more than half the Spirit Energy I have to do this. Also, it takes a while to set it up. Remember when you let me blast the white star into the ground and the black star into the night sky? Those were not attacks. That is the set up for my ritual in giving back the life that you took away. Now then, prepare to lose a hell of a lot of Spiritual Pressure you bastard...," Negai answered. The ground glowed bright white while the sky began to glow a resonating black, covering the moon in the completely pitch-black glow.
Slowly, figures began to form in the white sand, all of them taking the shape of a skeleton. Around seventeen skeletal lumps formed in the sand. Next, the skeletons stood up slowly yet shakily as a red liquid then covered them. Next, muscles formed on all of them as well the human organs, veins and arteries. Next, skin formed on the surface of the bodies as well as clothes. Shinigami and Arrancar kimonos formed on the bodies. Finally, hair grew as the bodies all glowed a bright blue. They took on the details and forms of those who had passed away. All of the Shinigami and Arrancar that Keiji had killed were now revived, meanwhile the funeral music in the background had stopped.
Byakuya looked at his hands, his eyes wide with surprise. He thought "I am alive…?"
Renji was completely stupefied, for he thought that he was dead, but now he is seeing that he is alive.
Soi Fon was right where Keiji had grabbed her and left her, as well as Kenpachi and Komamura.
Ulquiorra looked up at the sky to see Keiji fighting with Negai. "Hmm, seems like that child has been fighting with Keiji… and managed to force him into his released form… The child seems to be using not only his released form, he is also using the same power as Kurosaki… Hollowfication, but this Hollowfication is at its full power…" he thought, studying both the fighters.
Grimmjow and Yammy looked at each other, completely surprised that they were alive again.
Keiji's Spiritual Pressure was beginning to decrease rapidly. "SHIT!" he thought.
"So that's how you can be defeated… I just have to bring back the ones you killed in order to lower your Spiritual Pressure. Your Spiritual Pressure dramatically decreased… Interesting. Looks like I have enough Spiritual Pressure to defeat you now!" Negai roared, the Spiritual Pressures of all the other Captains and Arrancar being gathered into his body.
It seemed that they were all hoping that Negai would win, wanting Keiji to be erased off every plane of existence.
The claws, fangs, and spikes were pushed off of his body using the Spiritual Pressure that was being gathered into his body. They all returned to Keiji's body afterwards.
Keiji growled, absorbing millions of Spirit Particles into his mouth, charging a high density charge of black and white Spiritual Energy and Pressure.
The same went for Negai, except his charge was black and red. He roared "This is for everyone you have killed!" The Hoshi-Furea that was flying in circles had taken to the sky, and flew down upon Keiji.
Keiji looked up and grabbed it with his claws, squeezing it until it just caused a small explosion. "DIE!" he yelled, blasting another Apocalipsis at Negai.
"I will not die, I will survive for those who gave their lives! I will survive for the ones I care about!" Negai released a more potent Hoshi-Furea, charged by the Spiritual Pressures that everyone handed him, as well as more than ninety-eight percent of his own Spiritual Pressure, towards Keiji. Both the Apocalipsis and the Hoshi-Furea clashed into each other, trying to push the other back to the person who released it. The attacks seemed pretty much even again. Negai thought "Damnit, if this keeps up, then everything that everyone has done will be in vain!"
Suddenly, a blue, green, red, and purple Cero were launched at Keiji. Keiji was hit by these attacks, causing him to lose concentration over his Apocalipsis. He looked down, trying to find the bastards who shot him with Cero. The ones who shot him were… Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, Neliel, and Yammy.
"FAREWELL YOU BASTARD!" Grimmjow laughed maniacally.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP KITTY CAT!" Keiji roared.
"You are just being trash, so just be silent and accept your death fate now." Ulquiorra said calmly, turning around.
Keiji forgot that there was a Hoshi-Furea heading in his direction which was now pushing back his Apocalipsis. "SHIT!" he thought, his eyes widening as the Hoshi-Furea engulfed his body completely. "NOOO! YOU CANNOT ERASE ME! I AM ESPADA NUMERO CERO! NOO!" he yelled, his voice beginning to slowly fade away.
Negai's beast form deconstructed itself slowly, returning to the Hoshiyajuu form. Then slowly, all of the Shuukei features slowly disappeared, leaving Negai to fall down from the sky due to exhaustion and low Spiritual Pressure.
Quickly, a figure had caught him quickly, standing on the air. The figure was… Ichigo Kurosaki!
All of the Shinigami applauded for Negai, for Negai had defeated the one Espada who seemed so unstoppable…Quickly, they looked at the four Arrancar, wondering what they should do about them.
Grimmjow just sat down, starting up another campfire.
Ulquiorra, Neliel, and Yammy sat in front of the campfire as well, huddled around it for warmth.
Byakuya sweat dropped, for he thought he was going to regret saying this… "You four… you can come to Soul Society if you have nowhere else to go… As long as you refrain from killing any of us." he said, trying to strike a peace deal with the Arrancar.
First, Ulquiorra looked at him, "Are you trying to joke with us?"
"No, I am not being sarcastic. I am talking seriously." he answered.
Grimmjow looked to Byakuya "WHY THE FUCK WOULD WE, ARRANCAR WANT TO LIVE WITH YOU SHINIGAMI? EH?" he asked in argument.
"Because you have nowhere else to go, Arrancar." Soi Fon answered coldly.
"… Touche…" Grimmjow grumbled.
"Fine." Ulquiorra said, closing his eyes.
"YAY! MORE TIME WITH ICHIGO!" she leaped high in the air and ended up tackling Ichigo while wrapping her arms around him.
Everyone in the area sweat dropped.
Ichigo fell to the ground, still carrying Negai but now Neliel was on top of him as well, squeezing him tightly with a hug.
Everyone in the vicinity laughed, almost like the threat of Keiji never truly happened at all…

Meanwhile in Soul Society…
Fuzen was walking around, looking for more candy to buy. Suddenly, a picture with a frame fell out of his uniform, hitting the ground. He sighed and picked it up, looking to see a large crack on the right side of the picture, though the contents could still be seen. On the left was Fuzen, meanwhile on the right was… Keiji. "Brother… Looks like you got yourself into some trouble… didn't you…" he thought, putting the picture back from where it came. Fuzen sighed, but then smiled yet again, running off to other places where he could continue buying his favorite delicacy; Candy!
The Shinigami and Arrancar appeared back in Soul Society. Everything was cleared up with the Arrancar, that way no one would attack them. Negai was left in the emergency sickbay in Squad Four base. The doctors had given in Negai's result… Apparently, he would not live for too long… He only had what was about several hours before he begins to decompose and disappear forever. Those news had struck Hinamori in shock, for now she was going to lose yet another Captain… She remained by his side every minute of the day while he was still asleep…
His eyes opened and looked around, his eyes adjusting to the current situation. His body felt weak, so he could not move too well, but at least he could still move. He thought "I cannot die here… not just yet…." he struggled to stand up from his bed, trying to walk towards the door. Suddenly, the door busted open, revealing Hinamori and Fuzen standing next to each other. "Fuzen…" Negai said weakly, looking at the person he once considered his older brother.
"Negai. You idiot, you got yourself nearly killed yet again…" he said, looking at him.
"You two know each other?" Hinamori asked.
"Why yes, we are childhood friends. Back when we were in the Rukongai District together, we were childhood friends before I was told to come to the King and become one of his many guards." he explained.
"Oh…" Hinamori responded.
"Looks like… this is where I have to… say… goodbye…" Negai fell to his knees, looking up at Hinamori and then Fuzen.
"Negai, you dumb ass." Fuzen sighed.
"Fuzen… I am sorry for not giving you a proper 'hello'… I did not recognize you earlier… I am sorry…" he said, his body slowly beginning to fade away.
Hinamori's eyes were being filled with tears as she bent down and wrapped her arms tightly around her Captain's body, knowing this would be the last time she ever got to feel the warmth of his body, to be able to smell his scent, and the last time she could ever even feel his gentle touch.
"Goodbye… everyone…" his lips formed a soft, warm smile. "I hope all of you live a good life...," he said softly, while his body fully faded away, revealing that he was now gone forever from the planes of existences… A valiant Shinigami who fought for what he thought was right… That was Negai Nagareboshi…

It was a silent night yet again… Hinamori looked up at the sky, praying the Negai had a happy afterlife. Suddenly, a shooting star zipped by as soon as her wish was being made. "I know you are watching over me today, and possibly for the rest of my life… I will be strong for you, Captain Negai… Goodbye… Such a hard thing for me to say to you… its hard for me because I loved you…" she began breaking into tears, her own voice beginning to break as well. "S-So long… g-goodbye… I… I love you…" she said softly, almost as if she really were talking to Negai. She stood up, and walked away… The night was silent yet again…
Everyone was attending Negai's funeral even though there was no dead body to bury. All of the Shinigami who attended were all bursting into tears, for most of them had known him oh so well, or he was so kind to them when he was in the academy. Of course, Mayuri was not crying, nor Kenpachi, and surely not Soi Fon. Only 15 years of being alive, and yet he brought so many people to tears… All of the Shinigami placed their flower bouquets on the gravesite for Negai, and walked away, leaving off to live the rest of their lives…
The end...
