(Royal Palace)

Soul King: "I watched over "him" ever since he was born.
And there is one thing in particular that I've learned.
No matter what is thrown at him he finds a way to win,
That hope he dearly holds onto it turns him into a weapon,
So we shall entrust this hope with him and Ywach will surely meet his end..."

(Karakura town)

Back in Karakura town Kazui looks around,
But Ichika is nowhere to be found.
Not knowing a dark presence draws near.
From behind Kazui it appears,
An eye shown inside a black sphere,
Kazui approaches ready about to touch,
Suddenly a black wave swallows him up.

(Soul Society)

Suddenly many feel an intense power so strong,
And Byakuya realizes that Ichigo was the target all along.

Byakuya: "We must do something now..."
Soifon: Yes but how?
Maryuri: " I suppose we can always use "that"
Byakuya: "The problem is being in that world our powers are cut in half.       Regardless we must act fast."

In the darkness we now go,
The boy has fallen into a place he doesn't know

Kazui: "Ichi..."
Ywach: "Your father is not here, boy... You're all alone...                             You can call for him... It doesn't really matter to me...                                      Because I know how this will end..."
Kazui: "Daddy! Come this way!"
Ywach: "Hah hah, we are just gonna play."
At least that's what I heard you say."
Kazui: "Ichika?? Where are you?"
Ywach: "Oh so Ichigo as a daughter too
How interesting... "

(In Karakura town)

Downstairs in a closet some eyes peek out,
Ichika: "That's strange... He should have found me by now."
Ichika goes into the other room as they now see,
Ichika: "Mom, have you seen Kazui?"

Rukia: "See, I told you. She's right there...
What do you mean? I thought he was upstairs."
Rukia: "Something is not right."
Renji: "Yeah I feel it too. Ichigo, been awhile since you've been in a fight."
...
Ichigo: "Hah that might be true but it's not like I'd lose,"
Renji: "Yea yea but don't despair, after all you know I got your back,"
Ichigo: "Despair... It couldn't be (thinks back)... Ywach??"

Flashback: (Ichigo is beaten and in despair)
Ywach: "For I shall find the future... That one moment in time where each of you feel the greatest amount of happiness and joy... And it is there I will slaughter you all..."

Ichigo: "Could it be?? Kazui! Wait for me..."
Ichigo races upstairs but all he finds is an empty chair.
Ichigo: "No, it can't be... I'm sure he was here."

Suddenly the black sphere reappears,
Ywach: "Hah hah yes Ichigo that's it...
Show me your fear..."
Out from the shadows he comes,
Ichigo: "Bastard! Where is my son!!?"
Ywach: "Oh, don't worry he's here.
We were just having a little fun." (Cynical smile)

Ywach throws Kazui to the side.
But Ichigo catches him just in time,
Ywach: "By the way Ichigo,
what has happened to Zangetsu?"
Ichigo: "Dammit, of course he knew..."

Ywach: "Fool... did you really think you'd never see me again?
I told you before... my looming shadow will never end...
This is the moment in time I've come to take your life.
Have you prepared for it, Ichigo?
Now you die!!"

Ywach releases his sword and takes one step forward.
Ywach: "You know Ichigo, it's quite unfortunate
You remind me of my younger self.
Wanting to find the reason you exist,
Wondering why you're so different,
Within these eyes I found it,
My father told me I could not see.
But I've become the ALMIGHTY,"

Ichigo: "You know you talk way too much."
Ywach: "Hah, so you think you're tough"
Ichigo braces for an oncoming attack, 
As Ywach goes in for a strike,
All the sudden Ywach's sword turns to ice.                                                                    Rukia and Renji have now arrived,

Ywach: "Hah the Shinigami from before...
They still protect your pathetic life.
Look at you Ichigo...
You're nothing but a worthless human now.
This will be your final hour..."

Ichigo: "Rukia, please look after Kazui...
There's no choice other choice for me.
Ichigo reaches for the blade next his son
I'll hold him off with this Zanpakuto
Now Ywach, let's go!!"

Ywach clenches his fist tight.
As a fire suddenly ignites,
And flames melt the ice,

Ichigo attacks Ywach head on
Ywach: "Yes come..."
Ichigo strikes so fast
A relentless attack,
Blades cling and then clash,
But Ichigo is being pushed back.
As Ywach's reiatsu suddenly turns black,

A powerful wave knocks him down,
Ywach then picks him up off the ground.
As he grips his neck,
Ichigo tries to catch his breath.

Ywach: "This will be the end of you,
I mean, what can a worthless human really do?"
As Ywach swings his blade, another sword passes through, 
Renji: "Roar, Zambimaru!"
Renji's blade extends out as they begin to clash.
Ywach releases his power sending a powerful blast.
Ichigo and Renji ready themselves for impact,

Ywach then swings his blade .
As it creates another powerful shockwave,
Both are pushed back as they fly through the wall.
Ywach: "Hah Haha now let me see you both crawl..."

Ywach jumps down as Ichigo and Renji are now outside.
Rukia quickly takes Kazui and Ichika back downstairs.
And she informs her friends of the current danger.

Now we return to the fight.
A battle to death with Ywach outside,

Ywach: "I did warn you Ichigo... Yet all you ever did was ignore...
The fact you can no longer fight shows that I was right..."
Ichigo slowly rises to his knees.
Renji: "It's far from over yet.
If you wish to kill him you will have to go through me!"
Ywach: "Hah why would you do such a thing?"
Renji: "That's... because he's my dear friend!
Something you will never understand..."

Ichigo: "Ywach, why do you hate Shinigami so much?"
Ywach: "Hah look at you two trying to talk,"

I was like you once, full of hope and desire.
But one day I found out the truth in the fire...
Hopesand dreams are nothing but empty words that turn to dust,
Being accepted by my father just wasn't enough,
He said I was cursed and one day my soul would turn black.
That's the reason he named me... Ywach

It's not because I'm considered a GOD.
It's because I was born in the DARK.
Well that's enough talk,
Knowing the truth doesn't change a thing.
You're still going to meet your END."

Ichigo picks up the sword and attacks Ywach again.
But Ywach stops his blade with one hand.
Renji begins to strike from the side,
Suddenly there is a bright light,

Several arrows come flying in,
But Ywach easily avoids them,
Ywach: "So it's you... Ishida Uru
You've come to witness his end,
How touching...
But in reality you can't help him.
You're only going to prolong his suffering."

Ywach raises his blade up high.
Suddenly black holes appear surrounding the sky,
Ywach: "Hah, whatever you try it's useless against me..."
?? : Bakudo 79, Kuyou Shibari!!..."
