Final Crimson Prince

"If I may ask, Yhwach," Urahara spoke, "why do you want to go back in time? You've won in this time." He needed to make every second count, even if Yhwach could see how many of those seconds it would take for the Choujikanmon to activate. Every single one was nearly an hour in the Dangai. Uryu could use the Kaikyo Kotei could stabilize the Dangai until Koutotsu arrived.

Once that happened…

"Why throw it all away? You know you will never be able to come back once the path is closed, even with "The Almighty"."

Yhwach simply smiled. "The path may be closed, but the world will still remain. I seek to ensure this occurs again on the new path you will create. And do not think…I don't know I have to go at the same time as them."

Yhwach's power flared, reiatsu and the power of the Soul King tearing apart the land around them. "Komamura, run!"

Komamura heard Urahara's warning, and pain filled his heart as he ran, knowing that fighting would only kill him.

A helix of blood-red energy formed in Urahara's hand, and he gripped it as he charged Yhwach, and the two clashed blades, the ground shattering with the collision of reiatsu as Urahara pushed Yhwach kilometres away with raw physical strength.

They fought at speeds beyond the ken of Humans; Speeds beyond the ken of Shinigami. The Eyes of the Quincy; the Final Evolution of Zanpakuto; powers for which no name existed in the modern day, but were once born by most ancient ancestors of the Shinigami and the Quincy. Yeshua, the father of Yhwach, was the first to awaken the power and the Eyes of the Quincy; the Shiba were the last to know the final secret of the Zanpakuto, hidden even from Squad Zero as a 'technique' not an evolution.

Urahara's form was beyond even the knowledge of Ichibei Hyosube, but Urahara knew its name:

The Crimson Monarch.


I want to see how this beginning is received before I post the rest of the chapter. Please leave a review if you like the first chapter and this preview. Also, I need to find out how "Crimson Monarch" translates closest to Benihime in Japanese. So this preview will be up before anything else.
