Chapter 4: Past Sins

Captains Hitsugaya and Byakuya Kuchiki arrive just before Zakasuka could finish off Shunsui. "Well what an interesting turn of events, you two must be part of the recent generation of captains", said Zakasuka. Byakuya wasted little time activating his Bankai "Scatter Senbonzakura", he said. The tiny pink blades surrounded Zakasuka and eventually enclosed him within. "You should feel ashamed for being defeated by a being of this level", said Byakuya. Soon afterwards the ball of blades that enclosed Zakasuka exploded into flames!

Zakasuka laughed surrounded by a wall of flames "The Gotei 13 really has become a group of weaklings", screamed Zakasuka. Captain Hitsugaya activated his Bakai "Reign over the frozen heavens, Hyorinmaru!" screamed Hitsugaya. A giant ice dragon rushed towards Zakasuka letting out a thunderous roar. It melted before it even neared the fire encased demon. As a result the room was filled with steam from the melted ice dragon. Captains Kuchiki and Hitsugaya lost sign of the demon inside of the steam. He appeared behind Captain Hitsugaya and with one fist Zakasuka knocked him into a nearby wall. Captain Kuchiki was encased inside a ring of fire restricting his movement before he could react. Zakasuka slowly walked towards the middle of the room and stated "This is all a joke, it's sad to see how pathetic this organization has become", he said. Zakasuka eyes glared at Shunsui "I expected more from you 3rd seat", he said with an evil smirk. "Captain Commander who is this man", said Byakuya. Shunsui looked down towards the floor with a look of disappointment. "He is the Former Captain Commander of the first incarnation of the Gotei 13 Oichi Zakasuka", said Shunsui. Shunsui glared a Zakasuka chest noticing a chain hanging from it. "He and a few other members of the original Gotei 13 became drunk with power, they craved bloodshed so Old man Yama and a few other members of the Gotei sealed the more violent members inside the depths of hell", said Shunsui.

Just as Shunsui finished his story Adato and Shindo returned carrying the sword of the deceased Captain Commander Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto. They threw it towards Zakasuka. A large gate appeared in the sky above the demons. The chains on the chests of the demons were being pulled back inside of Hell. "Our time here is up but now we have everything we need to free us of Hell, war is coming Shunsui so I suggest you and your friends prepare yourselves", said Zakasuka as he let out an evil laugh disappearing inside the gates of Hell along with Adato and Shindo.

After the demons left the fire around Captain Kuchiki disappeared. Captain Hitsugaya freed himself from the rubble. They pair of captains walked over to Shunsui and with their swords they cut him free of the half melted floor. Shunsui rose to his feet he looked towards Captain Hitsugaya and said, "I need you to go to the world of the living and contact Ichigo Kurosaki".
