"Wake up."Ishin Kurosaki heard someone say to him, but for whatever reason he wasn't able to open his eyes, then he realized that he already opened his eyes and everything around him was pitch black
"Who are you." Ishin says to his captor as he calls to his sword and tests whatever is holding him, be he isn't able to feel his sword's presence, nor can he feel anything holding him in place.
"I have many names boy, but everyone knows me as death." A coyote walks towards him.
"shhhh" the coyote places a finger on Ishin's lips as it tells him to remain quiet.
"You oul Reapers have broken too many rules and now all of the gods are angry." it says to him as it spins a scythe in its free hand.
"You lobotomized the soul king, placed yourselves as the rulers of the dead, and worst of all you have been responsible for the destruction of entire species."
"Those are the crimes that just one god demands your punishment for."
"I on the other hand want to punish you for what you have done here. You are a soul, you were never meant to breed with a mortal and yet you kind repeatedly break the ancient rule." it says to him, its voice is now more of an animalistic grow.
Ishin can feel the coyote's hot breath, but he somehow feels the deaths of untold trillions in it.
"But I am death and I am just."
"So I offer you a way out, and this offer isn't just for you, it goes for those kids of yours too."
"Stay out of the Soul Society. You will go there after you die, so what's the rush and before I forget feel free to patrol the world of the living just as you always have." the coyote says to him.
Ishin can't help but laugh at the creature's empty threat and he was about to say something smart when he felt the creature's hand grab his neck and squeeze.
"Even when the world was young, things died."
"Souls die and are destroyed, even now when your kind thinks they have rule over me."
"And they will continue to die, long after you and your kind are gone."
"I am Death and I have come to put things back in order."
Ishin doesn't know when the creature let go of him, he can only see the countless worlds where beings are born and die. Each one has a Soul Society, none of those work like the one that he knows.
Unlike the other worlds the Soul Society, is just a place where souls live before they are reincarnated.
In the other worlds, the Soul Society works the same way, except it's there where the souls of mortals are judged and either sent to heaven, hell, or they are sent to other worlds to be reincarnated.
Ishin gasps for air, he has to warn the Head Captain, he quickly gets out of bed and opens the way to the Soul Society, but before he can give a single step, he sees the glowing red eyes of the creature staring at him.
Ishin closes the gate and runs to the only person that he knows can do anything about this.
Within the Soiul Society ancient long-forgotten beings open their nonexistent eyes. "Master." they all say at once.
Death doesn't say anything as he pulls the creatures into the next realm and repeats his action, over and over again.
He doesn't need his servants and they are aware of this, but what is death if not a mercy. It would have been cruel to destroy the current way of things and not let them have any fun.
Death stands between three realms, the realm where Humans live, the realm where beasts rule, and the realm where dragons rule. Each of these realities are the homes of living beings, not souls but creatures of flesh and blood.
"What to do" he asks himself before he sends a version of himself into each realm and warns the creatures living in them not to get involved in what is about to happen.
None of them would ever remember having met him and on some occasions her, but they will now fear anything that wasn't alive.
"It's time." he says to his servants before they stand at the very bottom of Hueco Mundo.
Death and all of his servants raise their hands, paws, claws, branches, petals, tentacles, and other unknowable things as high as they can and destroy the barrier separating Hueco Mundo from hell.
It doesn't take long for the souls of the dammed to spill into the realm of twisted spirits, soon Devis and Hollows are tearing each other apart.
Some Hollows try to escape into the other realms, and while they may find safety for now, they will not be safe forever.
Death watches as the realm of twisted souls cries in pain, as the souls that once called it home return to the sea where they had come from.
The dammed, devils, demons, and abominations of hell let out hate-filled roars when they see the souls that they tried to feast on escape, into the peaceful dream of the sea.
Death and his servants watch as the last grains of sand vanish from Hueco Mundo and are burned away by the fires of Hell.
"The realm that should have never been is gone." Death says as he opens several portals that lead into the realms that have no living beings in them, and allows the taint of hell to cross.
"It begins." he says to himself as the ruler of hell laughs when he sees death.
"Bout time you came back, so what are the rules?" the ruler of hell asks him.
"The living are of limits, and by that, I mean everything, that is from their realms, be it an object, an animal, or a person, and yes even the dirt, air, water, and insects are of limits."
"If there is anything else in their realm or comes from their realms, you and your kind cannot hurt them." Death says to the ruler of Hell who nods.
