The Invading Army Part 2, 1-1

What are you worrying about? Didn't I tell you? Everything in the scheme of all this is going just as I've planned.

It's Nozomi? Well, it's only a matter of time.

I will make sure that your dream will finally become a reality!

What is it you're doing?

Well, I'm still working on repairing the invading forces whose cores were destroyed from the last battle. It won't be long now.

Inform Captains Zaraki, Hitsugaya, and Komamura. It's now time for us to re-enter the world of the living.

According to Captain Unohana, who escaped from the Soul Society, the Reigai are intensely dangerous now that their powers are not restricted. Even the Head Captain's wounds will take time to heal completely.

The situation, she says, is critical.

At least we know what the enemy is after. We must hide Nozomi Kujo immediately. And in the meantime, we have to come up with countermeasures.

What kind of countermeasures?

It's so upsetting. Do you think the other captains are really dead?

Don't you have any faith?! Captain Zaraki would never die that easily!

But if they're alive, then where are they?

Stop whining or I'll kill you!

I'm not hiding! I'm gonna fight!

Nozomi...

Just a minute, young lady! Don't get carried away! Just because you got your Zanpakuto back doesn't make you a match for these guys!

Kageroza's Zanpakuto has the power to cut time and space and restore it at will.

But I'm not worried about that. My Zanpakuto can counter his. At least I think so.

You don't seem all that confident about it. What can you do with your power?

I'm not sure just yet because I can't remember everything, but I still know it'll be effective!

Heh, and we're supposed to trust that?

Maybe you'll be effective, and maybe not. You're not completely sure yourself. I'm not willing to risk my life on your faulty memory.

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

Why are we basing our whole strategy on protecting this girl?

We should fight the enemy head-on and defeat them. It's as simple as that.

I don't see any point in any further discussion.

Nozomi, listen. Since you're the enemy's target, and you don't know what your powers are, we really can't allow you to fight. Do you understand?

But I can help you defeat them. I know it. Its name is on the edge of my consciousness! I'm so close to remembering what it is!

Nozomi, with everything at stake, you can't expect us to believe your story.

But if your power's dormant, let's awaken it.
