Children of Izanami: Assimilation

Prologue: Odyssey End
There was a minor sploshing sound as a young man with long, purple hair, a loose bodysuit with a sleeveless top. A long cape was billowing out behind him with his hair, and he had his hand on his belt, near the handle of his Zanpakutō. He stepped onto the shore of his homeland, and took in the sight with only a minor shocked looked on his face.

Yūrei Ōkoku was in a state of semi-destruction. The force-field that was generally placed around the city to keep offensive or harmful things out was halfway shattered, the man could clearly see the places it had been breached. Though he was on the shore, he could see far into the city, and got a decent view of the carnage. Buildings were destroyed and smoking. Cars were overturned, the concrete in sidewalks was shattered and broken.

Ahatake Noriko Kurosaki let out a sigh.

"Megami..." He murmured. "Midoriko...everyone...I hope you're alright." He vanished, heading straight into the lion's den that was his home region.
