Months later in soul society Dex walks walking Karin and Yuzu to their brother's 18th birthday party.

The two girls looked sad and Yuzu was tearing up so Dex turned around got down and hugged them both tight, "It's ok girls it's ok."

Karin don't look at her, "how can you say that, you're leaving to another dimension after today." She teared up, "and we'll never see you again."

Dex hugged them tight, "It's ok Urahara has gotten all the information of dimensional travel form Bex he just needs to put it together, and the moment he does I'll be back I promise I'll return."

Yuzu was crying, "you mean that uncle Dex?" Dex smiled and whipped both girl's tears, "Yes I mean it and I promise I'll be back someday, but today is your brother's birthday and all of soul society will be there so put on a brave face, and be strong for me."

Both girls then smiled as Dex hugged them again.

Soon they made it to the eleventh division where the party was and in a moment Ichigo walked over to Dex and said, "Dex I would like to speak with you in private."

Dex nodded and he and Ichigo left to go to the roof.

In a moment Rurichiyo appeared before the twins and happily hugs her friends, "Guys it's been so long." She then let go and saw both of them looking sad, "What's wrong?"

Karin then said, "uncle Dex told us he would be leaving on a long term mission for the king after today." She said this knowing it was a lie but you couldn't just tell people Dex was from another world.

Rurichiyo looked down and hugged her friends again, "It's ok. You know he loves you and will be back sooner or later. While I don't know how you both feel I imagine I would feel the same way if Kenryu or Enryu left me."

Yuzu smiled and said, "you're a good girl Rurichiyo but we'll still miss our uncle Dex" the three then looked around and noticed Rukia who was clearly pregnant with Renji at her side talking to Komamura and Bambietta.

In Bambietta's arms was a very big baby wolf girl who was covered in fur sleeping soundly all wrapped up in a pink blanket, "It's not fair that werewolves are so large before long only Komamura will be able to hold our little Kimiko. That's not fair."

She looked sad but Komamura put his hand on her shoulder as Rukia looked at the sleeping girl, "You know me and Renji are expecting a girl, I'm thinking of Ichika."

Renji rolled his eyes staying out of the baby talk, "I'm just happy your brother hasn't tried to kill me yet when he found out."

Sora then walked up and said, "that's because I hide his zanpakuto but he found it so you might want to run."

Byakuya then flash stepped in holding his sword as he said, "Renji how dare you get my sister pregnant before your wedding!"

And Renji ran off in fear, as his future brother in law said, "Shatter Senbonzakura!" the blade then broke apart into sakura peddles.

As Renji ran he ran past a pregnant Orihime who was Hikari on her hip smiling.

Masaki spotted Orihime, "Wait your pregnant again?"

Orihime nodded as chizuru's showed up holding Sugar and she said, "Yeah Orihime had him first so we thought it was only fair she got to give him one more child then me, and we also planned this party as the pregnancy reveal."

In the background Isshin had his fingers cross, "Come on grandson!"

Masaki then said, "also did you hear Uryu has gotten Cirucci pregnant. That's right a Quincy is having a baby with a hollow more proof of the changing times we live in."

Orihime smiled as Hikari let out a baby giggle, "and the amazing new age this kids will grow up in."

Meanwhile on the roof of the division Dex and Ichigo where standing before each other talking.

Ichigo then said, "look Dex thank you! Without you, noun of this would be possible."

Dex then said, "all I did was give you the chance to do it all again you're the one who battled your way to a better ending."

Ichigo then said, "No! you're the one who saved my mother when I couldn't! Thanks to you I learned how to combine my powers! Without you I wouldn't have become a black mask! The world would still be in the dark about souls! This new age won't be here without you!"

Ichigo then pulled out a picture of him Orihime chizuru's and their children the babies in their mother's arms and Yachiru in front of himself, "I won't have my wives I won't have my kids. I won't have anything without you! You are the one who brought back the spirit King! You're the one who brought all this about! Just because you didn't fight much or join us on the battle field doesn't mean you didn't have a hand in this!"

Ichigo looked to Dex as he said, "My zanpakuto is now complete instead of being two opposing forces. Because of you! Without you Dex we all would be here smiling at a brighter tomorrow, like we are. We won't be complete, and when you leave we won't be complete anymore."

Dex then said, "I'm just a small piece of the larger machine of this group, I won't have been able to turn back time if you hadn't joined me in it. You had just as much a hand in it all as me. You guys where whole before me and you will be again without me. Now my time is running out."

Dex smiled as he said, "My sister Bex already left for home and I'll be pulled there soon. So tell Yuzu and Karin I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye in person." Dex then started to cry as he began to fade away.

Dex smiled sadly, "it's going to be lonely without you guys but I'm sure we'll meet again. Now you keep doing what you do best Ichigo lead and protect this world form all who want to harm it. Protect your family, and friends help them continue to grow stronger. And most of all keep on being a black mask."

After that Dex Vanished completely as Ichigo tried to reach him only to grab a fist full of air and Ichigo cried. "good bye my friend."

In Ichigo's inner world.

Zangetsu was crying as he said, "King it's ok to cry. We will all miss him."

The old man whipped a tear form his eyes, "he is right Ichigo. You've been strong for so many years, brave and fearless in battle for so long, it's time you give yourself a moment to be human, to feel sadness, to grieve, and mostly to cry so you can release the emotions you have held in for so long."

Zangetsu put a hand on the old man's shoulder, "that was beautiful old man, but still. Goodbye Dex your strange wonderful man from another world who gave the King the chance to save everyone he couldn't the first time around. Thank you for teaching him how to better control his powers."

The old man then continued for Zangetsu, "For helping us unite as Ichigo could use the full power he was always meant to have, the power of the black mask."

In the outside world.

Ichigo cried as he said, "Goodbye Dex my friend, my teacher and my teammate." He then whipped his tears and turned to return to his party the world had changed so much this time around and they need him to lead them, so he had to be strong.

Five years later.

Yuzu and Karin where walking into Urahara's lab. Both girls had grown into fine young weapon but their outfits hadn't changed much, Yuzu just wore her old Quincy outfit in a larger size, and Karin still wore standard soul reaper cloths.

Urahara then walked out to greet them as he said, "girls you are going to love what just happened."

Karin put her hands on her hips "what?"

Urahara then fanned himself with a folding fan, "I finally got my dimensional portal working, it over load but before it did guess who stepped out."

A moment later the girls where brought to tears as Dex walked out opened arms smiling as he said, "I told you I would be back."

The girls ran up to him and hugged him, "UNCLE DEX!"

Dex smiled as he hugged them, "yes and I won't have to leave ever again now, that your world has dimensional travel." The girls teared up and continued to hug their uncle for the first time in five years

A Little while later in the eleventh division captain's office.

Ichigo was doing paper work as he looked to the newest family photo he had on his desk. He was standing beside him where Orihime, and Chizuru. Before Orihime stood a five-year-old Hikari who had her mother's hand on her shoulder.

Before Chizuru was her daughter Sugar who was acting show as she held on to her mother's leg.

In front of Ichigo was a now Teenage Yachiru who was smiling widely as she looked to her little brother the four-year-old Kazui who was in Ichigo's arms.

Ichigo smiled happily at the picture, "I do this for them I do this for them." He then felt something and reached for the two blades of his Shikai but a familiar voice said, "Relax man I know I don't have an appointment but I thought you would understand.

Ichigo's eyes widen and he turned around to see Dex standing there smiling as he said. "I would have been back sooner but I couldn't just leave Karin and Yuzu after so long buddy."

Ichigo then held out his hand and he smiled, "welcome back, uncle Dex."

Dex smiled as he shook Ichigo's hand, "good to be back Ichigo. Good to be back home."

The end.
