The first chapter of the renewed series is up and going.

I don't own anything from either series, but my OCs.

Enjoy!

Chapter 1: A King's Thoughts

A tall and broad muscular man with blonde, shoulder-length hair. The foreign male is wearing a winged helmet and a white cloak which is fastened at the front with three buttons and a strange black symbol rune on the left-hand side. Underneath his cloak, he sports a red cape that is held up by a pin on both of his shoulders, gauntlets on both arms, a pair of black pants with a white X-shaped belt and disc-shaped buckle, and a pair of white colored shin guards with discs on his kneecaps. Hidden away by the mask is a black sideways M-shaped marks that covered the sides of his face, and he has a thin black braid around his scalp. All-in-all, he looked like a wannabe Thor.

The wannabe Thor had been fighting several fukutaicho and taicho-level shinigami: a man of nobility, four Vizards, a young captain, and a beserk-type captain of brute force. The giant Thor look-alike is constantly being cut down, only to heal back and grow bigger in size.

"Your attacks can do nothing against me," he bolsters large ego as he attacks the shinigamis and Vizards. The force of his strength demolishes the towers and other buildings within his attack range. The smaller souls were forced to dodge the giant's attack. They then quickly counter with their own attacks which just causes the Quincy to grow even bigger and bigger to the point where he is now resembling a knight's helmet and two spikes on his shoulders. He is also devoid of clothing, and strange energy patterns were on his shoulders and waist.

"What the hell is that thing?!" a man with vivid red hair shouted, looking at the massive body of the Quincy. The taicho of the tenth division looks at them: "Kuchiki! Abarai! You're both still alive?"

Renji looks up to see the white-haired taicho. His superior shouts, "The man you crossed blades with does not hold a candle to this thing! Saying it is a monster is a complete understatement, so tread carefully!"

"...Wh…," Sweat trickled down Renji's face: "Who the hell is that person?!"

A petite young woman with short black hair scolds her friend, "Oh come on! His voice should be a dead give away!" However, what was supposed to be a scolding turned into something completely different and comical, "He is clearly Hitsugaya-taicho's older brother!"

"Oh! Well, it is a pleasure to meet you!" Renji greets him, completely buying her statement. Not deciding to correct them, Hitsugaya Toushirou went along with it. "Um… Yes, it's an honor to finally meet the two of you!" he said, dripping with sarcasm. The remaining souls who were fighting the giant Quincy had felt the sudden spike of reiatsu from the shinigami daiko. Rukia and Renji quickly made their way over in the same direction of the said reiatsu, only to be intercepted by Gerard's hand. Fortunately, Kuchiki Byakuya managed to save them from the blow. He then proceeds to tell them that the two fukutaichos are not needed here and that someone else is in dire need of it. The two agreed and left the taichos to battle Gerard Valkyrie.

Gerard continues to decemate the area as the others continue to dodge blows and debris that were flying everywhere. The shakings of the battle had managed to do something unbeknownst to them. It started as a tiny tremor which quickly grew, shaking the entire Soul Palace. The area of the battle between Gerard and the two remaining shinigamis warped which caused all three of them to halt. They watched as the white floorings around them become black, and old buildings transformed into advance, modernized buildings. Behind Toushirou and Byakuya is a beautiful castle which none has ever seen. Seeing as the shinigamis were distracted, Gerard begins to throw a right punch at the two of them, however, they were quickly able to dodge it. Rocks and other types of debris, during the attack, had hit an invisible force that is surrounding the beautiful castle. Just as Gerard was about to attack again, something resonated within him. His king was forcefully taking back the powers that was given to the giant Quincy being. Suddenly, the skin of the giant Quincy begins to peel off along with the tissues and organs until there is nothing but giant bones. The huge bones fell forward colliding with the invisibleshield that is protecting the castle as both Toushirou and Byakuya managed to move out of harm's way.

"What just happened?" the white-haired taicho asked his fellow comrade to which he received no answers in return. Just as they were about to leave, a male voice echoed the area startling the two conscious shinigamis.

"Insomnia, the Crown City of Lucis."

"Insomnia?"

"It was the place where I was born. It was my home, and the place where I grew up," the male voice comments, albeit solemnly. This time it was the roku bantai-taicho that questioned the mysterious voice, "Who are you?"

"My father, the King of Lucis, raised me even though he was always busy with the war."

"So you were a prince. What happened?" Toushirou tries to probe for more information.

"My father tried to protect me, shielded me away from the horrors of my own destiny but in the end it backfired. I was the prophesized 'King of Kings' that would restore the light back to the land of Eos, my homeworld. My father and my people died during the signing of the peace treaty between my country and Niflheim, and the treaty itself was a trap to take the crystal and myself included, luckily I wasn't there. Not only did I lose my father, but I also lost my fiance and my future-brother-in-law, Lunafreya and Ravus Nox Fleuret. They were the last descendants of the Oracle bloodline, and only the Oracle could ease the suffering of the people of Eos," The male voice did a slight pause before continuing on with his story, "I traveled the world with my three best friends, forging covenants with the Five Astral Gods, or Eidolons, Espers, Summons, or whatever else the others had called them. But by then, my world was covered in complete darkness and daemons were running wild without the Sun to stop them. In the end, I was the sacrificial lamb. I gave up my own body and the ring, which had been storing large amounts of light, exploded. The light from the ring purged the starscourge and the daemons from the face of Eos, and the Sun shined once more."

"You did the right thing, even if it was hard on you," Toushirou said feeling sympathy for a stranger he never knew. "But it turns out that even after death, I am still needed. Materia, the Goddess of Machines and the substitute of old Goddess of Harmony, restored my body to fight and destroy the Golden Dragon. With my new comrades, we fought the Destroyer of Worlds, won, and were sent home. Those who had an affliction with the old Goddess of Harmony and a few others such as me and two others had a greater purpose beyond our homeworlds. From star to star, realm to realm we warded away the evil forces with our new found powers given to us by the harmonic crystals and the Universe."

The invisible force-field protecting the castle slowly gave away like glass leaving the castle defenseless. With curiosity getting the best of the two, they made their way inside.

Previews to the next chapter:

"If you would have, allow us to help the two of you eradicate the beast who claims to be of the Light," an authoritative male voice interrupts causing the two shinigamis to open their eyes. The two could feel two other presence, invisible to their eyes, with them holding the sword.
