Shoske was far, far away from the Seireitei, accompanied by the young girl who followed him since their first meeting. However, she looked much more different now. She looked older and far more beautiful. Her pure white wings now extended further, almost long enough for her to fly now. Shoske stopped, standing near the top of a mountain and taking a deep breath. He drew both of his blades and stabbed them in the ground next to him. He turned to the young girl "Nir, this may get dangerous. If anything happens, go back home" She nodded multiple times. Although she had changed physically drastically, she was still a child at heart. Shoske took a seat between his zanpakutos, meditating and ignoring the outside world. All began to fade away.
Shoske opened his eyes, standing on a blood-red desert "What the hell" Shoske said, looking around at the vast desert. Everything was different, he inner world had changed. Shoske looked around, noticing many drastic changes. One of the most significant was the now blood red moon and blood red desert. However, there was something that caught Shoske's attention even more. Up on the moon, the Kanji for Heaven was etched into it. How was that even possible? Shoske looked back down around the desert "What the hell is going on" Shoske said, before he began to endlessly walk in the massive desert. It felt like he had been walking for an eternity, the blood moon always over his head. How long would it take before someone came to him.
Shoske stopped in his tracks, his eyes wide and his hands shaking "H-how is this p-possible?" Shoske took a step back out of disbelief. Right before his eyes was both of his zanpakuto spirits, blood dripping down their beaten bodies. The two of them had been crucified on black crosses, now partially red due to their blood. Shoske clenched his fists, his hands shaking with anger. He ran up to the two "Who did this to you?!" Shoske said as he went to help his male zanpakuto spirit. He opened his eyes, regaining consciousness "Shoske....run" His head dropped as he knocked back out. Shoske went to take him off "Don't worry, I'll take care of yo-" Before Shoske could touch them, a massive killing intent could be felt from behind "...." Shoske turned around, seeing a monster of a being. He wasn't sure what it was, or what it was doing within him...but it had to pay. Shoske's female zanpakuto lifted her head "S-Shoske...stop...please" Shoske kept on walking, unsheathing one of his zanpakutos. It was as if Shoske was walking into certain death, he had accepted it. But it didn't matter to him. He had to fight. "Tsutaiyou Kengetsu...thank you for everything. But I can't run away from my past...not anymore" Shoske unsheathed his second zanpakuto, releasing a burst of reiatsu and coating his body with it. The massive man stared down Shoske, his red eyes piercing into Shoske's golden eyes. The man grinned, getting into a fighting stance "Are you ready to fight me, despite knowing the consequences?" Shoske returned the grin, the reiatsu around Shoske intensifying "Yes. I know that I was never meant to follow the path of the warrior. I was born to follow the path of the demon!" Shoske's own eyes changed, a crimson red completely consuming his eyes. Shoske's reiatsu greatly increased as his body began to grow, strength flowing into his body. The man chuckled "Then come show me the strength of your demon spirit!!"
Shoske charged at the man, about to shunpo behind him and strike. In a flash, the massive man went spinning towards Shoske, his right leg extended and making contact with Shoske's face in no time. Shoske went flying backwards, skidding on the sand but flipping back onto his feet. Shoske quickly looked around "Where is he?" Shoske's eyes widened, as he quickly turned around and slashed horizontally. The massive man leapt over the slash with ease, sending a kick to Shoske's face. Shoske moved his head to the right, the man's kick skidding Shoske's cheek. Shoske thrusted his right zanpakuto towards the man's throat. He grinned. grabbing Shoske's zanpakuto with his bare hand and landing on the ground "This is the strength of your path?" He asked, as Shoske attempted to slash at him with his other zanpakuto. The man quickly grabbed it, holding both of his zanpakutos "WEAK!!!!" The man kicked Shoske in his stomach, forcing Shoske to spit up saliva and blood. Shoske went flipping across blood red sand and skidded to a stop. He slowly got up, panting and with neither of his zanpakutos. The massive man walked towards Shoske, tossing his two zanpakutos aside. "You say you follow the path of the demon, but yet you hold the eyes of a warrior" Shoske's eyes widened. He didn't even notice, but his eyes had reverted back to normal. The demonic man began to leak a monstrous blood red reiatsu. Shoske's own spiritual world was shaking "This is the strength of a true demon!"
The man appeared in front of Shoske, sending a knee to his face. Shoske went flying once again, but caught mid-air by the demon. The man grabbed Shoske's arm and leg and sent a knee into Shoske's back, making him let out a pain-filled scream. The man let go of Shoske's legs and slammed him into the sand by his arms multiple times. He then raised Shoske by his arms, looking at him face to face. Shoske was bleeding heavily and had multiple internal injuries. Shoske sent a kick to the man's rib, but dealt no damage. The demonic man had a serious face, looking down at Shoske's leg. He grabbed it and lifted Shoske's body over his own "You do not deserve the blood which courses through your veins!!" He said, as he began to pull Shoske's leg and arm, attempting to rip him apart. Shoske let out another ear-piercing scream as he felt his bones beginning to dislocate. Shoske was on the verge of death, his vision fading and the horrendous pain going away. He had accepted that this would be his death.
From behind, a large arc of energy had hit the demonic man's back "...." He dropped Shoske on the ground and turned, to see both of Shoske's zanpakuto spirits free and ready to fight. The man moved so slowly, yet there was nothing they can do. They weren't sure whether he was going so fast that time was slow compared to him or that they were too slow to even move. He appeared between the two of them. His enormous presence alone was enough for them to jump back away from him. They raised their hand, a zanpakuto forming in each of their hand "We'll fight for Shoske" Said the male one "And we'll die for him" Said the female one. The large demonic man turned away from them, not even acknowledging them as a threat. He merely walked towards Shoske. The two of them went flying towards them, both slashing downwards from both sides. The man raised both of his arms, stopping the blades in their tracks. He jumped in the air, turning his body to the right and sending powerful kick to the male spirit's stomach, sending him flying. He continued to turn, facing the female spirit and landing. She thrusted her zanpakuto at his head numerous times. However he dodged each one with ease. He grabbed the zanpakuto and pulled her in, kneeing her in the stomach. He let go of the zanpakuto so she could drop to the ground and continued to course.
His massive body towered over Shoske's body, the shadows blocking everything except for his piercing eyes and demonic aura. He grabbed Shoske by his hair and lifted him, gazing on his bloodied face. Shoske's male spirit stood up, his legs shaking "No! Don't kill him! Please, take my life instead of Shoske's!" The man didn't bothered looking at him, but instead looked down. He looked at Shoske's stomach, which was emitting a strange energy, an energy not from this world. He smirked, dropping Shoske and walking away "I won't kill him...yet. The seed which was planted within his body has yet to flourish. When that time comes, then I will return..." The man said, continuing to walk away. He stopped, turning back to Shoske "Follow the path of the demon Shoske" He turned back around. The Kanji which was etched into the moon was now burned onto both his back and Shoske's " That is our blessing...and our curse" He said, before walking off into the darkness. Once he was gone, his inner world had returned back to normal.
"Shoske!! Shoske!! SHOOOOOSKE!!!!" Shoske opened his eyes, the screaming waking him up. Shoske was lying down on the ground, his body covered in bruises and cuts. He was losing alot of blood and fast. Nir, the young angelic girl, was shaking Shoske to wake him up "Shoske, you're awake!! We have to run, there's a monster after us!!" Shoske tried to get up, but couldn't. He was too weak and they were too far from the Soul Society "Nir, run" Shoske said, as he tried to get up. The earth could be felt moving as loud footsteps got closer. Nir shook her head "No! You're my knight and I won't abandon you! Now, I order you to fight!" A giant head came out from the corner of the rocks, looking over at them with a blank expression. It was hollow-like, but different. It smiled, looking down at the two with a grim expression. Nir was shaking, terrified of the titan-like creature looking at the two of them. She took a steps back, wanting to run but didn't want to leave Shoske. Shoske got up, unsheathing both of his zanpakutos but his legs about ready to give out. He didn't know how he even managed to stand, let alone move. But he was not going to die, not to this disgusting creature.
