Yammy

How about her? Is she trash?

Ulquiorra

Yes, she's trash.

Yammy

Heh, heh, I gotcha.

Orihime

Santen Kesshun!

Yammy

This girl, what is she?

Orihime

Soten Kishun!

Yammy

How are you able to heal that guy? In fact, how can he even still be alive? Pretty stubborn, if you ask me.

Ulquiorra

(She has healing powers.)

(No, that's not it. This is not a healing technique.)

(She's either reversing time or space. Whatever it is, it's not the power to heal, but it is something I have never seen before.)

You're a strange human, aren't you?

Orihime

(Somehow... Somehow I have to hang on. At least until Ichigo gets here.)

(No. Why do I always rely on Ichigo?)

(I've been to the Soul Society twice now. And both times, I've come home without being able to do anything.)

(I have to stand up to these guys without depending on Ichigo. It's about time I helped him out for once.)

2. Before the boss

(Tatsuki, Chad, Uryu...)

(Ichigo!)

(Everyone, I will protect all of you!)

Orihime

Tsubaki!

Koten Zanshun! I reject!

Yammy

What was that thing? A fly?

Orihime

Tsu-Tsubaki! Oh no...

Yammy

What do you want to do with her, Ulquiorra?

Maybe we should take her back to Aizen to show him this weird healing power she possesses.

Ulquiorra

No, that won't be necessary.

Just kill her, Yammy.

Yammy

Gotcha.

Just who the hell are you?

Orihime

Sorry, Ichigo.

Ichigo

It's alright. I'm sorry I couldn't get here sooner.

Orihime

No, I mean... All of this is my fault.

If I... If I was stronger, I could have stopped this.

Ichigo

There's no need for you to apologize. You did everything you could.

Now, I'm gonna deal with these two and end this!

3. After the battle

Yammy

*Pant* Damn, you little runt!

Ichigo

Surprised you can stand there and call me names. I guess you're as tough as you are ugly.

Ulquiorra

It seems you're having a hard time. Shall I take over?

Yammy

Stay back!

Ulquiorra

I can't believe you need your Zanpakuto to deal with a runt like this.

Yammy

Shut up and stay back!!!

Ichigo

That's a Zanpakuto?! (I should have known. His sword is a Zanpakuto.)

(The cracked Hollow mask, the hole in his chest, and the Zanpakuto...)

(I knew I felt something odd about their Spiritual Pressure. Who are these guys?)

(Are they Visoreds like Shinji and me?)

White Ichigo

Switch!
