Reigai Toshiro

We've expected you.

Reigai Kenpachi

Damn, Ichigo. It sure doesn't look to me like you've gotten back much of your power.

Reigai Toshiro

But we won't show you mercy.

Reigai Retsu

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

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

Ichigo

Damn, we're surrounded.

Kon

Just because we're outnumbered, doesn't mean we'll give up.

Kisuke

Ichigo, I'll keep these guys occupied while the two of you get past them.

Ichigo

What are you saying?!

Yoruichi

A suicide dash? How pathetic of you.

Ichigo

What are you doing here?

Yoruichi

I'm not alone.

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

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

Ichigo

You're all here! You're all alive!

Yoruichi

Now then, it's time for a real fight!

Kenpachi

You're in the way, Ichigo! Get lost!

Ichigo

What'd you say?

Yoruichi

Listen to him, Ichigo. We'll handle things here. You'd better get going!

Ichigo

Yoruichi!

Kisuke

C'mon, Ichigo.

2. After the battle

Kon

Hey, Ichigo! What's up? You okay?

Ichigo

I'm doing fine. Don't worry about me. We need to find Kageroza's lab!

Kon

Ichigo!

Ichigo

Gh!

Kon

Listen up, buddy! You almost turned into a Hollow again!

Ichigo

I did?

Kisuke

Here's what I think, Ichigo. I'm guessing that inside you, the balance between your Hollow powers and your Soul Reaper powers is beginning to break down.

Ichigo

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

Kisuke

Believe me, this isn't easy for me to say, Ichigo, but I think you should remain here while we continue with our mission.

Ichigo

No, wait! Hrn...gh...

Kon

You've gotta hang in there, Ichigo! Come on, pal!

Kisuke

Let's not kid ourselves here. You know your body best. It's for your own good.

Kon

Ichigo, he's right. You should stay here.

Let me handle this. I'll find a way to fully restore your spirit energy. I promise you.

Ichigo

I appreciate the thought, but...

Kon

Why can't you just for once say something like, "Thanks, Kon! I'm counting on you?"

I'm more than just some talking stuffed animal, you know?!

Ichigo

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

Kon

I'm going too. I don't know if I'll be any kind of help, really. I mean... You know, since I'm soft like this.

But well, I wanna try to save Nozomi too. No, I will save her!

Ichigo

Know what? You're right. I'm counting on you, Kon.

Kon

I've gotta tell you, I wasn't expecting that. It kinda gives me the creeps.

Ichigo

And another thing. I want you to take this with you.

Kon

You want me to take the Reishi collector? Thanks. It's in good hands, Ichigo.
