Chapter 2: Find Rukia!

Heyyy! Rukia!

What's the deal? We can't find her anywhere.

We fell from the same place, after all. I don't really see how she could have gotten that far.

Oh, I got it!

What is it, Ichigo?

Rukia's really small and kind of a lightweight, right? Okay, maybe she just got blown away.

You're right, Ichigo! That would explain it! It makes perfect sense. That's why we couldn't find her when we searched this place!

What do you think Rukia is? Some kind of kite or something?

Hm.

Bawaaa!

Huh?! What? Hold on. What's he trying to say?

Ba-bawabawa. Bawabawa, bawa bawawa bawa.

Hey, Ichigo! Bawabawa says that he's going to climb a tree and try to find her.

Ah, Bawabawa! What a good boy! Alright, go! Yeah, yeah, yeah, go and get a good look!

Heh, heh, that's a good idea, Pesche!

Wait a minute. I want to see what this underground area looks like as a whole. Let me jump on and look for myself.

I'm going too.

Heyyy! Can you see anything?!

No, it's no good!

(It's very strange. When we were falling, I could have sworn that I saw a group of Menos in this direction.)

(But I don't see them anywhere now. Where did the Menos go?)

What the?!

Take a look at that!

Just listen to them. What are they fussing about now?

Uryu, it's Hollows!

Damn these guys!

Get out of my way!

*Growl*

*Screech*

What's this?

I have no idea!

Hide, Ichigo!

Look at the size of them. They're Menos!

They keep coming and coming, Pesche.

Alright! Our only option is to bravely withdraw!

But what about Ichigo?

Listen, Nel. You just have to make yourself believe that those Soul Reapers are complete strangers.

As if we never knew them to begin with!

Well, yeah, but we already know them.

That's precisely why I'm saying to stop knowing them immediately!

It may be too late already!

Nel!

Ichigo!

Damn it, we've been caught!

They're gonna eat us!

I'm coming!

Roooaaarrr!

Why are there so many of them?

They're the same ones I saw earlier!

Ah, hell!

No matter how many Menos I destroy, more of them just keep appearing!

Ichigo! This is completely crazy! We should retreat.

He's right! We can't win! There's just too many of them!

I know!

Even so, what do we do about Nel and her friends?

Save them!

And Rukia?

We'll find her! But right now, our priority is to track down Nel!

Bawaaa!

Bawabawa!

Bawawawa!

I think he's trying to tell us to get on board.

Do you know where Nel and the others are?

Wawa!

Let's go! We're counting on you.
