Grimmjow

What the hell happened here? D-Roy's been killed?

Oh well. In that case, it looks like I'll just have to kill the both of you!

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Arrancar Six. You can call me Grimmjow!

Rukia

This Spiritual Pressure...

Is he an Arrancar too? But he's not like that last one. That guy was arrogant and inexperienced, and he paid the price.

His Spiritual Pressure...is incredible!

Grimmjow

Which one?

Rukia

Huh?

Grimmjow

Which one of you is the strongest? Who's gonna take me on?

Rukia

Ichigo! Get out of here! Run!!!

Ichigo

Rukia!!!

Grimmjow

I figured it probably wasn't you. No surprise.

I'm willing to wait until you summon your Bankai.

You better do it, or I'll punch you full of holes like I did to that Soul Reaper over there.

What's the matter? Too scared to fight?

Ichigo

You bastard.

3. After the battle

Grimmjow

I gotta say you turned out to be a real disappointment!

You used your Bankai and all it gives you is average speed? Huh?!

Ichigo

(Dammit! Black Getsugatensho is HIS technique.)

(The reality is I can only use it two or three more times before he'll take control anyway.)

Grimmjow

Hey, Soul Reaper. Just how long are you gonna stand there?

Alright then, now it's my turn.

Kaname

Put your sword away, Grimmjow.

Grimmjow

Tosen?

You want to explain to me why you're here?

Kaname

You ask why? You can't be serious.

You chose to invade the world of the living on your own and you took five Arrancars without permission. Then you lost them in battle.

You have disobeyed orders.

You understand that much, don't you? Lord Aizen is quite upset with you, Grimmjow.

Grimmjow

Ngh!

Kaname

Come. Your punishment for those acts will be decided in Hueco Mundo.

Grimmjow

Kh, fine then. Let's go.

Ichigo

Hey you! Hold on! Where the hell do you think you're going?!

Grimmjow

Shut up, Soul Reaper! I'm going home. Back home to Hueco Mundo.

Ichigo

This fight isn't over until I say it is, dammit!

Grimmjow

Get over it!

The only reason why you're still alive is because I'm leaving. Consider yourself lucky.

You wouldn't stand a chance of beating me in my release mode.

Don't forget my name, Soul Reaper. And you better pray that you never hear it again.

Grimmjow Jeagerjaques! Because the next time you hear my name, you'll be a dead man. I promise.

Renji

Where did the Arrancar go? Back to Hueco Mundo?

Ichigo

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

Renji

Did you win?

Ichigo

I lost.

Renji

You stupid idiot. The fact that you're still alive means that you won.

Ichigo

You know that's not true.

Truth is, I haven't been able to protect anyone. I couldn't defeat our enemies.

I was useless... I lost...
