"It's Ichigo…"

Urahara and Isshin both had a grim look on their faces as Rukia looked up at them. They both looked at each other and then back at Rukia. There was a moment of silence shared between the three before Isshin let out a sigh.

"Well looks like I'll have to stop him." He said as he stated to walk away. Urahara began to chuckle as he lifted his cane.

"Where do you think you're going?" He said, raising his head so his eyes were visible. He swiftly lowered his cane and ripped a hole in what seems like an invisible curtain. It spread apart and a blue-purple vortex formed in its place.

"Benihime can still do that, I see." Isshin said with a smile. He walked over to the portal. Urahara laughed as he jumped in. Isshin was about to jump in before he turned to see Rukia just standing there. His face grew grave as he walked over to her. He understood why she was upset. He placed a hand on her shoulder, which caused her to look up at him. He gave her a weak smile and she felt the inclination to give one back.

"Everything is going to be ok." He said. "I'll personally stop him before he can hurt anyone or himself." He lightly shook her before leading her to the portal. They jumped into the portal at the same time and within that instant, arrived at Soul Society. Urahara was already waiting for them standing there looking down at Seireitei. Rukia walked over to the edge of the cliff and looked down. One section of Seireitei was in turmoil. Smoke filled the air as a fire engulfed the area.

The three of them rushed down. The sirens were going off as they entered through a broken wall. They rushed getting closer and closer to where the fire was at. When they arrived the smoke had already start to clear. A dark shadowy figure stood in the middle. His eyes glow a dark red as he stood there. He had a zanpaktaou held tightly in his hand.

When the smoke finally settled, Rukia's eyes grew wide with fear. Hollow Ichigo stood there with a huge grin on his face. He looked over and saw Isshin, Urahara, and Rukia standing there. He turned to face them and began to laugh.

"Ichigo fight him! Don't let him control you." Rukia suddenly shouted. A dark laughter filled the air as Hollow Ichigo raised his sword to strike.

"Ichigo… is no longer with us anymore. He's gone." Hollow Ichigo laughed. Hollow Ichigo had an evil grin on his face. Isshin stepped forward and began to draw his zanpaktaou. Hollow Ichigo suddenly let out an attack which Isshin blocked easily. He stood tall in front of him staring him down. Hollow Ichigo had a grin on his face as he lifted his sword.

"Bankai." He yelled. A sudden surge of Reiatsu filled the air. Isshin stepped back. Urahara drew Benihime. Rukia looked at the two of them and then back at Hollow Ichigo. She hesitated for a moment before she withdrew her zanpaktaou.

Isshin and Urahara were getting ready to strike when Hollow Ichigo disappeared. They looked around for him, when suddenly he appeared behind Isshin. Before Isshin could turn around, Hollow Ichigo struck him in the back. He fell to the ground on his hands and knees.

"Sing, Benihime." A flash of energy flew towards Hollow Ichigo. He lifted his sword and slashed it away with ease. He let out a chuckle before he disappeared again. Urahara lowered his head as Hollow Ichigo appeared above him. Urahara looked up and blocked his attack. Their swords clashed together and sparks flew everywhere.

Hollow Ichigo jumped back as Isshin stood up and brushed the dirt off his clothes.

"A little rusty are we?" Urahara said with a chuckle. Isshin grinned as he got into his battle stance.

"I'm just getting warmed up." The battle ensued with Hollow Ichigo fighting his "father," Isshin. The fight went all over the place. Rukia could hardly even follow their movements. They moved so fast that not even the sound of their swords could keep up with their movements.

Urahara stood still with his eyes downcast. "The sun always seems to shine in soul society." He whispered. Rukia gave him a questionable glance then back at the fight. The two stood there gasping for air. Hollow Ichigo stood there with an evil grin on his face. Isshin had a distraught look on his face.

"What's wrong 'father?' Can't keep up with your younger, faster, and better son?" Hollow Ichigo said with a chuckle. Isshin took a deep breath before a grin spread across his face. He stood wit his sword to the sky. A bright white aura surrounded him as his Reiatsu grew rapidly. "Bankai!"
