Another mission, the powers have called me away

Another time to carry the colors again

Kusajishi District. Ichinose has been on edge since he came here. This place, or someplace much like it, is where men like Zaraki come from.

(Not taichou, never taichou. That man is dead, fallen under Zaraki's blade.)

There are few children here. They usually die quickly, from starvation or abuse.

Except for one, he remembers. Yachiru survived Kusajishi, with help. This is where it all began, when Zaraki named himself Kenpachi.

The others had never understood. The two interlopers were loyal to Zaraki, not the division. Iba and Makizue were too scared of Zaraki to speak against him. And at the end, they'd turned against him. Tousen might understand: he left the Seireitei as well. Kariya was the only one who knew the whole story, the only one who understood. It is for Kariya that he fights, after all.

He'd take care of the shinigami who had followed the Bounts, and then he'd go after Zaraki.

My dedication to all that I've sworn to protect

I carry out my orders without a regret

Zaraki's halfway to Kusajishi when the hell butterfly catches up with them, carrying Yamamoto's orders. Capture Ichinose, dead or alive. Unfortunately, he's never seen the point in that last part.

The others can take care of the Bounts, but Ichinose will fall by his blade. Not Yumichika's, not Ikkaku's, not Ichigo's and not even the Sou-taicho's. He ignores Yachiru's directions, allowing his feet to remember the way.

He'd thought Ichinose would crawl off and die after their confrontation. But no, he had to go find another host. Bastard. He told Yachiru he was after Ichigo, but that was a lie. Ichigo's an opponent, Ichinose is prey. He'd spared the man's life only because he couldn't risk any whisper of the truth escaping. As a renegade, Ichinose could be written off as a casualty, and no one would raise an eybrow.

He might have improved since their last meeting, and he had a few new tricks. But he'd been in the Transient World, not the Seireitei. Zaraki grins and speeds up. This time, he'd show no mercy.

--

Zaraki's spiritual pressure forces him to his knees. As he looks up at the man who tore his life to shreds, he wonders if he can win. He gets to his feet and holds Nijigasumi out. He will fight, for his taichou and for himself. He launches himself at Zaraki, and the duel begins. Tonight, he'll kill this man- or die trying.

The End

No explanation will matter after we begin

Unlock the dark destroyer that's buried within

My true vocation and now, my unfortunate friend

You will discover a war you're unable to win

I'll have you know

That I've become

Indestructible

Determination that is incorruptible

From the other side, a terror to behold

Annihilation will be unavoidable

Every broken enemy will know

That their opponent had to be invincible

Take a last look around while you're alive

I'm an indestructible Master of War!
