New World

As Ryuji's body floats through the space storm, his body is wrapped in a cocoon of energy. This energy is a representation of the universe in all things. This universal energy or cosmo, begins to invade Ryuji's soul reforming it to become compatible with it. As his soul is reformed, a body begins to take shape over his soul.

First, a skeleton takes shape; being cleansed and strengthened by the cosmo surrounding him. Then, begins the forming of the nervous system, organs, and skin. His skin begins to take on a more tan color, hair begins to form on his head with a shade of grey with green tips at the end.

During the forming of his eyes, the cosmo within his soul begins to enter his soul space. "Something is changing outside but, I cannot sense what it is. The amount of reiatsu I can draw from has diminished substantially, at this rate I'm going to be stuck within my soul space forever." Exclaims Ryuji in a panic.

Ryuji in his desperation begins to sense a different kind of energy enter within his soul." What kind of energy is this?" Questions Ryuji as he notices it begins to fill his soul space.

"This energy has the feel of reiatsu, yet I can sense that it holds more power. Hmm, I wonder if I can absorb this energy and use it to awaken my zanpakuto spirit?" Wonders Ryuji as he begins to meditate and redirect the flow of cosmo to his asauchi resting on his lap. As the cosmo combines with his asauchi it awakens a spirit within the blade. With the awakening of the blade a change happens outside of Ryuji's body.

Cosmo begins to gather even faster than before, gathering towards the still forming eyes of Ryuji. The black shade of his iris's begin to take on a bright green hue like a sapphire in the night. His eyes glow bright adding color to the dark space surrounding him.

As the glow begins to reach its peak, Ryuji begins to sense a voice reach out to him. This voice deep, dark, yet peaceful in its approach begins to speak to Ryuji.

"A change has occurred in the forming of my existence; no matter, I am happy you have finally called for me. However, I am disappointed that you can't seem to hear my name. You have forgotten me, a part of yourself that has always been there, waiting, watching, every hopeful that you will reach out to me." A deep sadness can be felt in the spirits voice.

"It seems we do not have enough time now, you aren't yet ready to receive my power. Know this Ryuji, you have been betrayed by Aizen and cast out into the dangai. He didn't keep his word, the experiment he did upon you added another existence within your soul. At first, the existence wasn't able to fuse correctly with your soul which affected your connection to me." Explains the spirit in a rushed tone.

" With the fusion of this new energy to your soul the other existence was able to fuse successfully with you. Right now I am keeping him in check, but when you unlock my powers you will have to handle him yourself." Explains the spirit to Ryuji.

" As your body lay in the dangai a space storm pulled your body inside, bringing us through space and time. We will probably end up in a new world, seeing as though this new energy is entering your soul nourishing it and forming a mortal form. Be careful Ryuji, you must get stronger quickly we do not know what type of power exists in this world. A world able to use energy like this will have warriors at the level of the Head Captain Commander and probably even higher." The spirit warns Ryuji in worry.

"When your body is done forming and we are released from the space storm I will wake you from your soul space; be ready." Alerts the voice as Ryuji stands from his meditation.

Outside in Ryuji's eyes a silver pentagram begins to form on Ryuji's pupil. His body that resembles a 17 year old finally finishes taking shape. The cocoon of cosmo begins to dissipate around his body, entering his body and resting inside.

Eventually, his body reaches the end of the wormhole; his body is thrown forward at great speeds towards a mountain covered in foliage. His body descends and crashes into a crevice below the mountain. As Ryuji's body stops moving his eyes begin to open; with the opening of his eyes a wave of cosmo is released only for an instant before disappearing.

Far away on the top of a temple, stands a man cloaked in Robes. He stands at the edge of the temple looking down what seems to be a giant mountain. Down below, are multiple temples stretched out along a path on the side of the mountain path. Men and women alike can be seen walking around in colorful armor. Some can be seen fighting in a gladiatorial arena, with a crowd of other warriors watching and cheering along.

Inside the 12 temple's stand 12 warriors fitted in an exquisite golden armor. As if at the same time all 12 of these warriors look to the east, sensing something has occurred.

"A change has happened, a new presence has appeared. This new presence's fate is tied to the fate of humanity itself. I only wonder if this person will be a figure to stand against the coming darkness or will they push the light further into the abyss." Says the robed figure looking out towards the stars above.

"Virgo Shijima come to me I have a task for you." Ordered the robed figure telepathically

In an instant a man with red hair wearing a golden armor appears behind the robed figure. "Pope Sage you have summoned me?" Questions Shijima

"You can sense it too right, someone has come to our world. This person is connected to the fate of all of humanity. As it stands the resurrection of hades is approaching, I believe this new person will be pivotal to the defeat of hades and his specter's. I want you to go out and find this person, inform them of the situation of our world. Try to persuade him to join us in defending Athena and humanity." Says Pope Sage with a determination that can inspire anyone.

"Very well, I shall see it done." Shijima bows to the Pope and vanishes
