A New World I Never Noticed Ch.37
The Orphan prepares to launch the attack
Ichigo prepares himself
Katherine glances at Ichigo's stance
Katherine: (Why does he keep this up? There's no way he can win. There's no way I can lose! I won't let it end like this! I have to gain power! I must gain Pandora's power!)
Flashback to Pandora's time
Pandora lies in bed faintly
Alexander watches her from the other side of the room
Katherine runs in
Katherine: My lady! Are you alright?
Pandora: Katherine. Is that you? My daughter, I have lost my eyesight, though I can still tell it's you.
Katherine walks to Pandora's side
Pandora: My time has drawn near… today shall be last…
Katherine: My lady, save your breath.
Pandora: My power will still linger in this world. Alexander, Katherine, I trust the two of you to watch over it. Prevent anyone from taking it. You must…
Pandora suddenly stops breathing
Katherine: My lady?
Pandora dies
Katherine: Lady Pandora!
Katherine: (Pandora died. She cared for the world as a goddess, her power unlimited, unmatched, and unquestionable. As her servants, we watched over heart in this world as its protectors. However… there was times when it was nearly impossible to protect it.)
Years later
Alexander and Katherine kill multiple Hollows
Katherine looks back at the door holding Pandora's Heart
Alexander: Katherine, we have to continue moving. If we don't then the Hollows might…
Katherine: Tell me something, Alexander. Do you truly understand Pandora's last wish?
Alexander: Her last wish? Of course I do. We must protect her heart, which holds her power inside of it. If we don't then the Hollows might…
Katherine: Then what? Do you think it would've been better if she had given it to one of us instead?
Alexander: What are you talking about? Pandora's power it isn't something we can hold.
Katherine: You don't understand anything, Alexander. It's clearly obvious that Pandora entrusted this to us. Don't you hear the heart beating? That means it craves for another vessel.
Alexander: Katherine, you're probably just tired. We have to…
Katherine traps Alexander inside of a bottle
Katherine: You don't understand you fool. Her power must be given within another vessel. I must have her power, only I.
Katherine: (Pandora entrusted me to have her power! She created the door as a way to test me! I have to unlock it! It is her wish! No! It is my wish!)
Flashback ends
The Orphan fires the attack at Ichigo
Ichigo dons his Hollow mask and blocks the attack
Ichigo parries it back to the Orphan and destroys it
Katherine is shocked
Katherine: What? But that's…
Ichigo charges at Katherine
Katherine notices him and prepares herself
Ichigo slashes Katherine in half and puts his mask away
Katherine returns to normal and falls to the ground
Katherine: It… not possible… I can't…
Katherine's body begins to fade away
Katherine: No… Pandora!
Katherine stands up and slowly walks to the door
Katherine: No! You're power was supposed to be mine! I live for you! I died for you! Why don't you ever knowledge me! Why is it always Alexander you choose instead of me! Why…
Katherine falls to her knees and begins to cry
Katherine: Why don't you love me, mother? Why?
Katherine fades away
Ichigo looks on as she does
Ichigo returns to normal
Kagutsuchi victory roars
Ichigo pets Kagutsuchi
Ichigo: We did it!
Mai, Mikoto, and Kon run to them
Mai and Mikoto hug Kagutsuchi
Kon climbs on Ichigo's back
Kon: Nice job, if I say so myself!
Mai: Thank god, you're alright.
Mikoto: Yeah! We finally won!
Natsuki smiles
Chad walks in
Ichigo: Chad! Hey, you're alright! We finally did it, now we can…
Chad: Run…
Ichigo: Huh?
Chad: You… have to…
Chad falls to the ground
Ichigo: Chad!
Ichigo and Natsuki run to Chad's side
Unknown: Now that's a damn shame! I was hoping I could watch you destroy that witch!
Everyone is shocked
Unknown: It's too bad, though. Oh well, guess that what's happen when you plan too far ahead.
Ichigo looks behind him
Ichigo: It can't be…
Unknown: What? Don't tell me you didn't suspect me as the ringmaster?
Scene changes back to Fuka Academy
Fuka is shocked
Black clouds roam in
Toshiro: This is my last attack and your last chance.
Toshiro uses Hyoten Hyakkaso
Ice flowers fall from the clouds
Fuka is covered in ice
Toshiro forcibly breaks the ice
Fuka falls to the ground
Diana's spores disappear
Yukino: You did it?
Toshiro: Yes. Thank you for your assistance. If it wasn't for your Child's technique, then I could be dead right now.
Yukino: It's no problem.
Renji: Captain, the other Creas are disappearing as well.
Toshiro notices
Toshiro: It seems we have succeeded in the end. For a moment, I thought we're dead for sure.
Uryu: You can say that again. I thought that battle would never end.
Kenpachi: What the hell!
Byakuya and Kenpachi appear
Kenpachi: You guys already defeated them! Damn, I was itching for a good fight!
Byakuya: It is rather disappointing that we couldn't have been of any assistance.
Toshiro: You guys are late. What toke you two so long to get here?
Byakuya: That other Crea before was a lot more powerful than we predicted, however we managed to defeat him.
Kenpachi: Damn it! Now I'm pissed!
Midori: Quite impatient isn't he?
Mashiro: Yes. But we should be relieved that the battle is finally over.
Byakuya: Yes. Now we must heal.
Akane: Who are they?
Orihime: There captains of the Soul Society, they helped us earlier with the other Creas.
Shiho: So that little kid is a captain, too?
Toshiro: (Little…)
Rukia: Brother. What about Ichigo and the others?
Byakuya: They have yet to return.
Renji: Knowing them it'll probably take them a while, might as well head on over there and end this.
Byakuya: What do you mean?
Renji: I mean we already killed the ringmaster, so now we have to finish off that woman who controls them.
Byakuya: The ringmaster is here?
Renji points at Fuka's body
Kenpachi: Oh, so this is the ringmaster, huh? Doesn't look like much.
Kenpachi pokes at Fuka
Fuka slightly moves
Everyone is shocked
Fuka breathes hazily
Toshiro: There's no way he could've survived that.
Fuka: You… little brat…
Fuka tries to stand
Rukia: It's useless. You only have one arm, there's no possible way for you to continue fighting.
Fuka: Shut it. I'm the ringmaster of the Circus. There's no way, I could lose to you scums.
Fuka falls
Fuka hazily looks at his hand
Fuka: Why? Why did you lie to me? You told me that if I distract them long enough than you would give me a purpose.
Everyone is shocked
Fuka fades away
Fuka: Why ringmaster… Ignis…
Scene changes back to Searrs Foundation Headquarters
Saki (Ignis) appears behind Ichigo
