It was raining.
the hot rain fell on his face as he looked to the sky.
The battle had lasted too long. Jack Shinigaya. The weilder of Hyorinmaru had finally died. the battle had lasted too long.
He blinked slowly. the rain was falling steadily. drenching everything that wasnt frozen.
Blood flowed from his side. he reached into his uniform to press his right hand against his side.
the blood flowed from the wound down his leg and dripped into a bloody, bloody pool.
Far ahead fires burned down slowly, as the towers of ice crumbled as they melted. he looked over to see an arm, peeking out of an eerily white Haori. laying in the blood pool. his heart burned as the hand suddenly detached, and fell beneath the Reishi dust rose into the air.
There goes another captain.. he thought. he started walking over to where he could feel a group of shinigami. there were four of them.
He approached the rag tag surviovors, all captains. Utikate looked at him. he didnt say a word. there was nothing to say. he was going to die. Jack had struck him with a club of razor sharp spikes. his lung, heart, soul chain, diphagram, liver, and stomach had been damaged.
Unohana hadnt even tried to save him. and she could heal mostly anything.
She was at the moment reying her best to heal Yammamoto. the bloody mess he was.
she was using a forbidden healing kido. he grabbed Shunsui, who was unconcious. and Juushiro, then tossed them into the healing feild. it was a complex feild that healed any injusry, at great cost. the user always died. Unohana gasped at the huge drop in her power, the added injuries would sap her strength in just seconds. they would all die.
"Sorry, Engetsu." was all he thought. before pouring his power, his entire soul into Unohana, he
felt his Zanpaktou cry in agony, but he knew that he agreed with the choice.
the power surge caused the three's injuries to begin healing.
Shunsui healed completely in just minutes. Yammammoto just had the many cuts on his body, and Utikate was healed on the surface, but not internally, when suddenly the Kido dissapeared and Retsu passed out. His arm dropped. and he began walking. there was blood across the entire Sereiti. Shinigami uniforms, blood, frozen and pooled gave tribute to the hundreds of slain shinigami. they shouldntve died. Jack had tried to take the General's position. And when he activated his Bankai, and tried merging with Hyorinmaru, but was rejected, His mind snapped. he began to beat Yammammoto, as well as everything else. Shinigami and soul alike died.
The man lashed out on everything, beating the captains to death, He brought out hyorinmaru's full strength, and cast a razor sharp hail upon the land, killing everyone in the sereitei, first, second, and fifth sectors of the Rukongi. The Razor hail demolished everything. the buildings, the land, even the protective kido spells.
He walked for miles, in a daze. the destruction around him was complete. HE began re-weaving the Kido spells about sereiti, as he was the only who could it the moment.

Hyorinmaru was in the sky above soul society. he looked at the destruction about. He was the ice guardian, a protector, and he was the cause of death for thousands of souls. it sickened him. he remembered the battle that had caused the destruction.
Jack had discovered a secret from the past, and he thought that he could use the secret against the General. He had blindly challenged his power, and at a final moment, tried merging with hyorinmaru, by force. Hyorinmaru wasnt a traditional zanpaktau, and the spell went incomplete, the man gained immense power, and with a cry began that hail, that destroyed everything.
Hyorinmaru had actually been losing his struggle against the merging when the elder man had had enough.
The General yammamoto released his bankai for the first time in a millenia, and showed jack why he was never scared. wh that the old man was the captain general. why he was in command.
He didnt teach him a lesson. he didnt beat him down so he could realize his mistake. he unleashed the torrential wave of his power. Directly into Jack's soul. And that was the end. yammamoto fell to a slumber from exhaustion, while Hyorinmaru, the blade part, rose into the sky solemnly. The healer woman showed up, and began healing the strange one, then the inured one brought the elder to her, she immediatly began healing him after yelling at the injured man.
an hour passed when a man showed up and did something, something he didnt ever think could be capable of someone. He gave up everything for the four survivors. he sacraficed his Soul chain, that linked him to his shinigami powers, and was the life force of his Zanpaktau. Something no soul would ever do, for it effected not only himself, but every life he would ever have beyond that time. making it impossible to ever be a Shinigami again.
Having been a zanpaktau himself, he heard the dying screams of Engetsu, the man's sword, and every lingering Zanpaktau about felt the sacrafice. all was silent. when the woman suddenly passed out. the diminishing chain breaking...the final scream of the man's soul. Hyorinmaru noted how the three being healed were going to live, and how however broken, the Soul chain of the man was intact. Somehow. He felt Engetsu reach out and grip the man'ssoul, latching onto the selfless man as he began walking away from the carnage.
High above the clouds, he stopped, and wrapping himself around the sword, he waited, making shure the sky of sereiti never snowed a bit, ever again.

He Stopped one last time, and looked at his destroyed home.
He felt his presence waivering. And he turned to the gate.
And that was the last time Soul society would hear of Kurosaki Isshin for the next three hundred years. It was the last time he would get to see his home. he turned, and as he walked through the preipeice world, the entirety of Soul society, the real world, the preipeice world, Hueco Mundo, and any other demension, became silent.
As a man walked to a new destiny, who gave up everything, for the simplest reason of helping four souls live to see another day, even though only one was at real risk. Every soul in existence felt an overwhelming pride. A pride of Being Alive.
end.
