Story transcript

Shunsui: *Phone ringing*

Sera: *exasperated sigh* Merciful Creator, give me strength.

Shunsui: Sera, my dear. I have a small favor to ask. Nothing too dramatic, I promise.

Sera: Shunsui... this is not the time.

Shunsui: Then I’ll be brief, I need you to grant Ichigo Kurosaki access to Heaven.

Sera: Have you lost your MIND, Kyoraku?!

Sera: Ichigo Kurosaki— the Soul Reaper responsible for breaking the gates of Hell!

Sera: In heaven? Absolutely not!

Shunsui: Now now, hear me out before you hang up...

Sera: I knew those pompous councillors in Central 43 were foolish to elect you as Captain-General.

Sera: I might concider any other Soul Reaper, but Kurosaki?

Shunsui: Peace, Sera. Ichigo isn’t here to make trouble. only to talk to your… recent snakey resident.

Sera: You're not gonna take no for an answer, are you?

Shunsui: It’ll be easy for both us, Sera.

Sera: …Fine

Sera: I will... consider it. But you must understand, no Soul Reaper has walked these halls in a very long time. There are reasons for that.

Shunsui: Inappreciate it, Sera. Ciao

Sera: I hate that man.

Emily: Sera... you don't have to carry all of this alone.

Sera: Fortunately I am not alone in this, I need to hear some opinions from the others first.

Sera: then I’ll make a decision

Sera: I've called you here because I need your honest counsel. A Soul Reaper has requested access to Heaven.

Abel: A Soul Reaper? In Heaven? Do we even understand the precedent that sets?

St. Peter: Abel is right. We've kept those boundaries for good reason.

St. Peter: Especially with the incident of Sosuke Aizen and his Arrancar Army.

Abel: And the Quincy Wandenreich. Don’t forget about him.

St. Peter: That’s right, the last thing we want after the drama with Vox is Drama from the Soul Society.

Sera: It gets worse. The Soul Reaper who requested access... is Ichigo Kurosaki. The one who destroyed the Gates of Hell.

Abel: What?!

St. Peter: What?!

St. Peter: with all due respect, Lady Sera but are you out of your mind?! This is Ichigo Kurosaki we're talking

St. Peter: the guy who destroyed the agates of Hell and almost started Armageddon.

Sera: I know you're concern, St. Peter…

St. Peter: Concerned?! Oh ho hi, I am beyond concerned, Sera! when Vox fired that super weapons the pearly gate, we were lucky to have them repaired.

St. Peter: so what would happen if it was Ichigo Kurosaki himself who did it, huh. the gates will be beyond repaired and leave us open to many threats.

St. Peter: Demons, Hollows, the unspeakable horrors in the eldritch abyss, we'll be vulnerable.

St. Peter: Sorry, but the answer is no, Ichigo is an extreme risk to be granted entry to Heaven, for any good intentions.

Lute: ...Tch. Much as it pains me to agree with the old man, he's right. That thing doesn't belong here.

Lute: Of all then Soul Reapers Indespise, he is the one on my top 10 list.

Lute: that… thing is an affront to the natural balance, a freak of nature.

Lute: Soul Reaper. Quincy. Human. and Hollow. all these shouldn't mix, to be allowed to mix.

Lute: like the Cambians, Nephilem and, god forbid it, those Hanyou mongrels!

Lute: I say we exterminate him before he becomes a threat to us all, look at Hell and Soul Society's Soul Palace! he needs to go!

Abel: Now, Now Lute, need I remind you who's in charge here?

Lute: *scoffs* don't fucking remind me.

Abel: Ok, that is rude.

Sir Pentious (Winner): If I may, let him come. I want my story to he told.

Lute: *scoff* of course the SINNER wants the most dangerous freak inside Heaven. What, got bored of the peace around here?

Sera: That is enough, Lute! please elaborate, Sir Pentious.

Sir Pentious (Winner): There are souls out there who need to know that redemption is possible. My story can help them.

Sir Pentious (Winner): What are we if we can't offer those the chance of redemption, especially when we learned that we're no better than those in Hell, who don't care.

Sir Pentious (Winner): Charlie helped me with that, even at first she didn't realise it, but that doesn't mean that other's shouldn't

Sir Pentious (Winner): So please, Lady Sera, if you granted Charlie a say in the matter, then let this Soul Reaper have the benefit of the doubt

Ichigo: ...Hello?
