"You must fight . . ."

CRACK! Another body falls, shattered to pieces.

(I must fight)

He whirls around, the blade flying from his grasp. Another mirage, the same grizzly
face, freezes and lays beside its mirror image.

"You must keep going . . ."

A hiss! He looks, and there come the fangs. Like the wind he moves, barely dodging
the strike. He slams his elbow down on the exposed creature's neck, then raises his
sword and slices it in two.

(I must keep going)

Block it! BLOCK IT! Do not let it break you!

Feint . . . feint . . . THUD! and it collapses like the sands of time.

(Do you want to rise?)

One! Two! Three! They cannot keep coming!

(Yes)

(Do you want to fly?)

Roll back, roll back . . . Spin! Spin!

(Yes)

In the air! He hears it, lets fly glinting steel . . .

CRACK!!

(Do you want to fight?)

He grunts, bites his lips. It flows like tears, like the river to the center of the universe,
but he does not mind it.

The clock keeps ticking.

Time keeps moving.

(DO YOU WANT TO FIGHT?)

A fire, raging to the steady beat of his heart. Knuckles pale a deathly hue.

The sun sets. The crows cackle. The wind sighs, and God sits.

(I WANT TO FIGHT!)

(THEN YOU SHALL FIGHT)

They rush at him, a river of souls. They near him, one step toward humanity.

He holds his pride, the shining star, eyes aglow with cosmic rays . . .

"BANKAI!"

And fire burned, the holy light.
