-30 minutes before the Vasto Lorde Invasion
Senjuro got very bored so he decided to sing a song to which everyone found irritating. He continued anyway, regardless of their screams.
"Sosora sora sora, the rabbit's dance! Taratta ratta ratta ratta ratta rattara!Legs a-kicking, pyokko pyokko it dances Headband around its ears, ratta ratta rattara Sosora sora sora, a cute dance-!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
He tried to release his spiritual pressure to break out, but the cage he was in seemed to absorb it perfectly. Even his hollow Reiatsu which should've gone out of control by now, seemed to be absorbed by the cage.
"Mr Nichi? I'm hungry!"
Nichi was the name of the old man who answered all his questions earlier.
"We all are, Senjuro. They only feed us once a day."
"DAMMIT! THIS PLACE SUCKS! IT'S TOO DARK, THERE'S NO FOOD, AND I CAN'T EVEN FIGHT ANYONE LIKE THIS!!"
Everyone apart from Nichi collectively screamed at him,
"WE KNOW!"
After some time passed of Senjuro rambling, everyone felt a strong urge to kill themselves. His unbearable talking made some people want to rip their ears off. They had lived in the quiet and dark for a long time, so this sudden change went against their ways, but it was only a matter of time before he become like them. Or so they hoped.
One of the men who were imprisoned then asked him.
"Your names Senjuro right? Can you tell me about the outside world? We don't get much news about it from here, so were quite oblivious."
Senjuro was glad to help. He told them about the tekken tournament which took place on the outside. He spoke about how he was a competitor, and how powerful everyone else was.
"My dream, is to be the strongest ever! Fighting is fun, but fighting strong opponents is even better. I can't fight stronger opponents unless I get strong myself, so I need to fight more people. What are you guys dream?"
Everyone became intrigued by this since they hadn't fought in so long. Not that they wanted to, but something new had brought them peace. The topic of dreams re-ignited a hope that they had lost.
"I have a daughter on the outside world. Once I get out of here, I would like to see her again. She should be all grown up by now!", one of the prisoners said.
"I want to relax and live a casual life on a farm far away from here."
"I want to be surrounded by a bunch of friends that I can drink with. Doing stupid stuff, and having fun while were doing it."
"Okay! When I get out of here, I'll drink with you!"
As everyone took turns telling their dream, Senjuro noticed Nichi was abnormally quiet.
"Mr Nichi? What's your dream?"
"I guess it's been a while since I've thought about it? Ever since I came here, I'd completely forgotten. I guess I just want to see the sun."
"The sun?"
It wasn't anything big or difficult to achieve. It was nice and simple, yet something out of reach for everyone who was sent here.
"I'd like the feel the suns warmth on my skin again. I'm old, so I'm going to die soon, but before I go, I want to see the sun one last time."
Senjuro smiled as he said, "What a nice dream. Something that everyone lives in everyday, has become your dream... when I get out of here, I swear you'll see the sun!"
Suddenly, everyone felt strong vibrations from the surface world. It shook their cages lightly, but since it reached this deep, then something big must be going on.
"Mr Nichi!? What was that?"
"I don't know? The last time I felt vibrations like this, was 8 years ago."
The Vibrations grew more and more powerful, until eventually a crack in the ceiling began to form and then it fell apart completely as most of the cages plummeted towards the darkness.
Sunlight bursted into the 2nd floor as the ceiling caved in.
All the cages that were connected to the ceiling traveled a decent distance before hitting the stone tiles beneath them. Rubble from the destroyed ceiling also fell, which landed on top of, and even destroyed some of the cells.
Senjuro got lucky as his cell managed to break open from the huge fall, although he was still trapped in the spiritual pressure ceiling cuffs.
He looked around to check up on everyone else, but most of them were dead. They weren't as lucky as he. They were either crushed under the rubble, or they couldn't survive the fall in their cells.
"MR NICHI!?? MR NICHI!!?"
Although he never saw Nichi's face, he could recognise him almost immediately. He looked just like how he sounded, with a small frail body, half of which was crushed under a boulder.
"Sen...juro... your a kind boy... you don't deserve to be rotting down here with the rest of us... Use this chance to escape."
The old man with the last of his strength, reached his hands towards the sunlight. He was so close yet so far from his goal. It was right there, but he just couldn't reach it.
"MR NICHI! IT'S RIGHT THERE! I'LL GET THIS BOULDER OFF YOU, AND THEN WE CAN BOTH GET OUT OF HERE!"
He tried to push the boulder off him, to which it budged a little. But without his spiritual pressure the effort was useless.
"The sunlight... how magnificent... so that's how it looked?"
The last remaining light in his eyes faded as Senjuro cried over his decaying body. The kindest man in the darkest world was now dead.
He looked over to the sunlight, and saw the centre and cause of this destruction. There was a massive pile of rubble which was mixed with debris from even the first floor of this place.
At the very top was was a light skinned female with long yellow hair and red glasses. She weore a long white dress and carried a book in her arms. She has the typical nerdy look or female book worm appearance.
Hiding behind her glasses were red eyes with star shaped iris's. As she spoke, you could see her abnormally sharp teeth.
In one hand she carried her book, and in the other she was grabbing onto the collar of the squad 1 co-lieutenant, Genshirō Okikiba. He was seriously injured, and in his hands was his shattered Zanpakutō.
She threw the body aside while dusting her dress.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!?", Senjuro screamed at her.
"Hm? So there was a survivor! Rejoice for I have come to free all of you worthless rejects casted out by Soul Society! I couldn't find this place, so I thought it would be better if I just dug my way down here, but this guy decided to get in the way. Not that he was too big of a problem, he was very disappointing."
Nichi was dead, along with everyone else and their dreams. They may have been criminals, but their lives had already been stripped from them and only their dream was left. And now even that was taken away too. Unforgivable... UNFORGIVABLE!
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!"
His hollow spiritual pressure began to spring forth as a tremendous amount of power and rage filled up inside of him. With pure physical force, he broke apart the cuffs which bound him and sprinted towards the enemy.
She however seemed very unbothered.
Just before Senjuro could reach her, he felt something hard and heavy slap him in the air, which swatted his aside a heart distance.
He quickly recovered and fired a cero at the girl, but with just a flick of her finger, the cero was split in half.
"You asked me who I am? I am the one who is destined to become the true ruler. The person who will overthrow the false deity, and the false gods which he serves I am Sakugo Shinomiya."
Just before Senjuro could continue, in a split second he could see what he was being attack by. It was a transparent blade so thin that it looked like a thread. It not just cut his cero, but also slashed him across the torso.
He spilled litres worth of blood, but even then he continued in his rage filled state.
Senjuro shouted as his cries could be heard even from the surface before advancing towards Sakugo once again. Once he took a single step however, a heavy force pressed on top of him, which pushed him into the ground and knocked him out.
