"EVERYONE GET OUT! THE GATES ARE ABOUT TO CLOSE", Ichigo exclaimed at the top of his lungs.

The captains of the Gotei 13 along with Ichigo Kurosaki and Uryu Ishida all ran towards the open gates off Hell. The once shattered doors now slowly repairing itself, leaving a small amount of time for everyone to get out.

A 7-year-old Kazui was carried under the arm of Ichigo Kurosaki. Next to the duo were the family of three consisting of Renji Abarai, Rukia Kuchiki, and Ichika Abarai. Kazui and his best friend Ichika secretly followed his father into the dimension to try and help their fathers and mothers, but it almost ended in disaster.

There weren't any casualties, though several people were severely injured in the mission to seal the opening gates. More and more events led to another which caused this catastrophe. Many formidable foes came to stop them, including some of the past members of the Gotei 13. It was a troubling time for all people there as former allies were now enemies. It was a terrifying experience, almost nothing like they have ever experienced before.

They were trying to flash step as fast as they could to reach the exit. The beasts of Hell were chasing them, Sinners kept attacking, and the flames burned their bodies.

Just as one of the monsters were about to reach Ichigo, who was unarmed trying to get Kazui to safety, an arrow flew by. Uryu dashed past the strawberry and his son. His glowing blue bow hummed with reishi as he raised his weapon.

"Ishida! What are you doing?! Get back over here and escape!", Ichigo called out in panic.

"Be quiet, Kurosaki. You know full well that I won't slow down just because of this. I'll catch up to you guys in no time, guaranteed", he tilted his glasses before whispering under his breath, "Licht Regen"

A hail of reishi arrows were fired towards the Hollow-looking beasts. Many of them were taken down but more appeared and tried to follow them. Their large bodies only continued to stride forward through the obstacles that blocked them. Using Hirenkyaku, Ishida moved backwards and constantly fired arrows from his bow so that the rest of the Shinigami could get to safety.

Only after a couple of more flash steps, they all escaped. Nobody was left behind as the last pieces of the door were repaired. The door was finally sealed for good. The eyes of the skeletons at the gate lit up in flames once more before the whole entrance disappeared without a trace. It was over.

"Thank goodness, everyone's safe", sighed Ichigo in relief as he lay on the grass ground by the lake. His son Kazui sat beside him.

In the distance, a silver hair woman with a black shihakusho and white coat ran towards them, "Hey! Everybody's here! Please tend to them immediately!"

With the help of Urahara, Orihime along with Squad 4 tended to the wounds of the injured. Squad 4 stood on standby outside of the location of the gates. The group ran towards everyone who escaped and examined them. Cuts, gashes, and ripped flesh were healed in a short time. Everyone took their time and recovered.

"Kazui! You okay?", Orihime asked worriedly as she pinched the boy's face, turning him around to try and find any injuries.

"Yeah I am Mom! Dad saved me and we fought some Hollows", Kazui replied with a big goofy smile on his face.

"Oh thank goodness", she immediately went to full on hug Kazui and then went to Ichigo. She also hugged him but also gave him a kiss on the cheek as well. The strawberry blushed slightly despite experiencing that for what was the hundredth time in his life, "Thank goodness you're safe too, Ichigo!"
