Rukia

Where's Ichigo?

Kon

Did he get caught up in that blast?!

Renji

Look, over there!

Ichigo

That was close. Too close as far as I'm concerned.

Nozomi

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

Rukia

The existence of Mod Souls is a bitter legacy in the Soul Society's past.

Renji

His intention may have been to eliminate Nozomi along with Kageroza.

Kon

You mean he's just gonna wipe out everybody?!

Nozomi

While I'm alive, both worlds will continue to be targeted. Perhaps eliminating me is the way to stop Kageroza.

Ichigo

Don't be ridiculous!

Nozomi

It's true. I understand it. But I'm not gonna die.

Ichigo

Yeah, you got that right.

Genryusai

You may be nothing but imposters, but from what I've observed, you use the powers of my students well. I didn't think you'd still be standing.

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

Kageroza

Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Now please, step back. I will take care of the rest.

You're everything I expected, Head Captain Yamamoto. Even the power of the captains working together could not hold you down.

Despite all that, everything is going as planned. I will take Nozomi now, if you don't mind. I'm afraid I still need her to fulfill my plans.

Ichigo

Old Man, listen. You can't just indiscriminately attack that bastard.

Genryusai

Silence. Who do you think you're talking to, boy? I am no idiot. Do you not think I know what his abilities are?

Ichigo

Well, if you know, then all the more reason for you to be careful.

Genryusai

Yes, indeed. It would certainly be a problem if he were to copy my techniques.

Ichigo

Then what are you going to do?

Nozomi

I'll be your decoy.

Genryusai

Hm?

Ichigo

Are you out of your mind?!

Nozomi

It's okay. Really, it's the least I can do.

Ichigo

It's too dangerous!

Nozomi

I don't care. Please understand.

Genryusai

You have one chance.

Nozomi

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

Kageroza

(What's she up to? I doubt she'd allow herself to be captured so easily.)

So you are trying to cross swords so you can absorb my spirit energy. Sorry, my dear, but I won't fall for that.

Nozomi

Haaaahhhh!!!

Kageroza

When did you charge that?!

Hah! But it's still not enough!

Genryusai

Hyehhhh!

Kageroza

Gh...

Ichigo

I'll stop you using every ounce of my spirit energy.

Kageroza

The Substitute Soul Reaper!

Ichigo

Getsugatensho!

2. After the battle

Ichigo

Did I get him? Well?

Kageroza

He nearly destroyed me.

Nozomi

Huh?!

Kageroza

This is proof of my power. My judgment paid off.

Now, my Raiku is even stronger than before! It has the powers of both Head Captain Yamamoto's Ryujin Jakka and the Substitute Soul Reaper's Getsugatensho.

As strong as you are, Head Captain, you won't be able to remain unscathed after an attack of such immense power.

Hahaha... Hahahaha! The time has come! This ends right now!

Nozomi

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

Genryusai

Out of my way, girl!

What is she doing? Is she trying to protect me?

Kageroza

You will not survive if you absorb any more. Now, stop this!

Nozomi

Hrh!

Kageroza

Stop resisting or you'll die!

Genryusai

Out of the way!

Rahhhh!!!

Kageroza

Hahhhh!!!
