Chapter 6: Follow the Hollows!

It's just as Mayuri said. The Hollows are all headed to one location.

Then we'll split up and defeat them all before they get there. We can do the Konso after that, and everything will be solved, right?

Wait a minute, Ikkaku. I don't think we should be using our Soul Candies right now. Isn't that right, Captain Hitsugaya?

Yeah.

Speaking of which, what was the issue with the Soul Candies?

I recorded his explanation. Just listen to this and you'll understand.

The Soul Candies? The newer products were programmed to fight a Hollow if detected. This means that some will rush to attack when they sense one.

Of course, individual results may vary. I would love to hear the feedback from our users.

So that's why they went after the Hollows.

We know the reason now, but we can't just let our Gigai rush toward Hollows in public. We need a place to hide them.

No, the Hollows have manifested and are already on the move. We can't waste any more time.

Rukia, you brought your Memory Replacements with you, right?

Y-Yes! I'm sure we can get a supply from Urahara's Shop if we don't have enough.

We'll take care of the Gigai later. I want us to split up and go directly to each Hollow. Ichigo, your priority is to find the lost soul. I'm counting on you.

Got it!

Rooooaaaarrrr...

The Hollows are gathered there! Which means that the soul is somewhere in the middle!

Haaaahhhh!!!

Roaaaar!

Dammit!

There's just way too many! I can't defeat them fast enough!

Roar, Zabimaru!

Hado 73: Soren Sokatsui!

Rukia, Renji!

Looks like you need a hand.

Talk later! Move now!

Roaaaar!

That was the last of them.

Ichigo, perform the Konso.

Right.

I'm sorry I didn't notice. I'm sorry I left you alone for so long.

Everything will be all right now.

............

That should be the end of this mission.

By the way, what happened with your Gigai? Did things go okay on that end?

Captain Hitsugaya is taking care of it. I'm sure he'll be done with it soon.

He says he wants us to go back without him. Come on, Rukia.

Oh, you're leaving already?

Unfortunately, we don't have any time to relax.

Things are busy over there, I take it?

That's not for you to worry about. You should be focusing on your school work. I heard from Kon that you had to take an afterschool tutoring session. How pathetic.

Whose fault do you think that was?!

Anyway... I'll catch you guys later.

Yeah.

See you next time.

............

Well, time to go home and do some homework.
