Thick storm clouds fill the sky as a dark rain begins to fall, Ishin stops running when he feels sand hitting his face.
He looks at his hand and stares at the grains of sand falling on it. "This isn't right," he says to himself before several tears in reality open in front of him.
He can only watch as Hollow's spill into the world of the living, he prepares himself to fight for his life, but he is left staring in disbelief when the monsters run past him, as they desperately try to find a place to hide.
He doesn't bother attaching any of them because he can see the injuries that they have, some hollows have entire parts of their bodies torn off, while others seem to have been cut apart and pasted back together.
The rain continues to get stronger and it almost feels like a hurricane has suddenly taken form above the town, Ishin can feel something massive moving in the sky, but it doesn't feel threatening, if anything he can feel the creature's fear spreading into the world beneath it.
Something deep inside of him tells him that he doesn't have much time left so he runs to Urahara's shop so that he can warn the Soul Society about what he had seen and what he dreamed.
In the sacred realm, death stands before what remains of the Soul King and sits next to him.
"Look at you, we warned you not to be too kind and you didn't listen." death says to the soul king who doesn't react.
"Look at what they have done with your realm and how they corrupted it."
"This is your last chance to save them, tell me one reason, just one. Why should I spare them?" death asks the soul king who remains silent.
"Hueco Mundo is gone, the hollows that survived are now living within the mortal realms. they will soon adapt and they will learn to live next to the inhabitants of those worlds."
"I spared some of those unfortunate souls. Can you believe that some were powerful enough to escape on their own?" Death's voice sounds almost as if it had enjoyed seeing the strongest of the hollows escape.
"Time to die." death says to the soul king as his guards charge at him, he ignores their attacks, because their attacks lead straight back to him.
Seals fade, beings die, things turn to dust, realities fade and acts of murder always lead to death.
He lifts his hand and shatters the soul king's body, sending the fragments of his being into the world of the living.
Eventually, the soul king's body will reunite, but that will be for a long time, so much time will pass that no one will remember that this version of the soul society ever existed.
The death of the soul king sends shockwaves through the realms alerting the most ancient of beings that live in them that something terrible has happened.
Some prepare to go to war, while others call their kind back so that they can hide from whatever is about to happen.
The different versions of death raise their hands and stop the merging of worlds, their job is to deal with those that corrupted the cycle, not destroy the world and its many faces.
Ishin finally arrives at Urahara's shop and finds the place empty, he runs past the main house and finds the hidden entrance to the basement where the mad scientist does his research.
he finds the man running back and forth from one machine to another trying to figure out what is going on, the two of them lock eyes, and before Urahara has a chance to say anything they feel the world shake beneath them.
Their very essence the very center of their souls warns them that the soul king has died.
Ishin places his hand on Urahara's shoulder when he sees his old friend open a portal to the soul society and he starts to tell Urahara about the dream that he had.
urahara listens to Ishin and closes the gate behind him, he knows that there is nothing that they can do.
For now, they need more information, because if what they are fighting is death itself then it is possible that they already lost this war and death is just playing with them.
One of Uraharas's machines begins to make a noise as the machine warns him that the souls of the dead aren't leaving the world of the living, but the blockade is limited to the world where humans live, even the beast and dragon realms are being affected.
They can only stare helplessly because they can't do anything to stop the souls from spilling into each other and when that happens no one knows how the world will change.
The sound of a single raindrop falling can be heard throughout the world as death sits next to the body of a dying child.
The boy's soul sits next to death as they look at his parents crying at his bedside.
"Was I bad?" the boy asks death.
"No." death answers the boy as an angel takes the boy's soul.
Death doesn't say anything, the boy was just the first soul to go to where it was meant to go, some will be reborn in this world others will simply remain as spirits until they are judged.
Many others will be sent to hell so that they can pay for their crimes, while a few like the boy will go to paradise and join the heavens.
Death walks out of the hospital and sits on a nearby bench, it is going to sit here and watch for any soul reapers that escape into the world of the humans.
It will allow the soul reapers that were created out of normal souls to exist, but the nobles of the soul society won't escape its judgment.
If death had any regrets it would be that it isn't the version of itself that is about to invade the soul society.
