Harmony is Not With Us, Living Hell is Coming


 * Several Years Prior...
 * Location: Soul Palace

thumb|200px|right|Seireitou vs Kamui In the ancient halls of the Soul Palace, the two legendary brothers, Seireitou Kawahiru and Kamui face off. In a flash, the attack each other, utterly demolishing the floor beneath their feet. Their swords clash, causing a massive amount of reiatsu from both combatants to erupt, further damaging the once prestigious halls of the palace. Kamui pulls above Seireitou, managing to land a decisive kick on his younger brother, followed by Seireitou flashing behind Kamui and slicing his shoulder; through flesh, blood, bones, and tendons.

Kamui retaliates with a slash of his own, hitting home on Seireitou's own shoulder.

Finally, in a display of raw brute strength, Seireitou lunges at Kamui, slamming his blade through his chest, causing Kamui to vomit a large volume of blood, and fall, seemingly dead, into a Garganta behind him....

From the shadows, seven Togabito emerged, bowing around the bat-figure's throne. The creature pretended not to notice them, watching instead, the flames that displayed recent events.

"The time is at hand." came its raspy, empty voice. "After centuries of waiting, it is time to set our ambitions in motion."

The Togabito remained silent out of fear. They knew what the creature was capable of, and they didn't wish to damn themselves if they uttered a response that would be displeasing to him.

"Commence our operations." the creature commanded.

With a final bow, the seven Togabito left the creature's presence and exited the cave...
