Ichigo

What...the hell...?

I was just fighting that guy... What the hell just happened? And what's with these clothes?

Byakuya

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

Ichigo

Byakuya?! Why are you here? Were you the guest before me?!

Kisuke

Hello? Hellooo? Can you hear me?

Ichigo

Kisuke?!

Kisuke

Okay, I'm gonna try and make this quick. Based on the data I've gathered here about your current condition...

I believe you're currently in your Soul Reaper form, but clad in your Fullbring.

This is an extremely rare case, and the effects it might have are countless, but...

All that Spiritual Pressure that's gushing out of you is causing some distortions in the areas it touches.

So I decided to temporarily isolate part of the training grounds here.

If these distortions continue, it's naturally going to have some major effects on your current space, but it's extremely likely that it will have some effects on the world of the living as well.

Ichigo

Are you kidding me?! How do we stop this?!

Kisuke

Either you manage to control the flow or you get rid of it. That's about it.

I'll be doing what I can on my end too, so sit tight for a...

Ichigo

*Gasp*

Byakuya

The Spiritual Pressure is growing... Or perhaps it's more appropriate to say it's flowing in this case?

Hollow

Roooaaarrr...

Ichigo

Hollows... No wait, are these the ones Kisuke made? Ugh, it's hard to tell which is which, but they're disappearing all on their own.

Byakuya

That may be one of the ways this world is affected. Since they are outside of the natural soul cycle, I do not see it being a problem.

Ichigo

But if this keeps up, who knows what else might happen... We've gotta do something!

Byakuya

We've lost contact with him, but according to Kisuke Urahara's statement, the source is likely your out-of-control Spiritual Pressure.

If that is the case, can you not simply control your Spiritual Pressure output?

Ichigo

I've been trying, but...!

Look, things are looking real bad. Is there really no way for you to get outta here?

Byakuya

Are you telling me to run?

Ichigo

Yeah. Otherwise...

Byakuya

Ichigo Kurosaki, do you understand why we went to the world of the living recently?

Ichigo

Wait, are you talking about when we were trying to bring back my Soul Reaper powers? Yeah, I know. What's that got to do with this?

Byakuya

We traveled to the world of the living in order to witness your resolution for ourselves.

You faced the truth and made your decision.

But if it turns out that Rukia's... No, that our judgment was wrong...

Then I have no other choice. I must cut you down where you stand.

Ichigo

What?!

Byakuya

I see... So neither Kido nor Senbonzakura will work on you now.

Ichigo

Seems like it... So c'mon...

Byakuya

This is just another weapon with massive amounts of Spiritual Pressure that you can't control. You're exactly the same as you were back then.

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

Ichigo

Huh?!

What the hell is that?

Byakuya

A battle is not just about training and being fully prepared.

Even without the full use of my powers, I have more than enough strength to crush that useless power of yours.
