1-6 A Way Into Las Noches

Where do you think you're going, intruder?

Another one...

Are these things Arrancars too?

They sure look a lot more like Hollows than the ones we were dealing with back in the World of The Living.

Well, it doesn't matter to me what they are. I'll make them tell us where Orihime is...

Take it easy. You're going to want to save your strength for when we find Orihime.

Besides, I've spent some time with Kisuke and he's been informing me about the Arrancars.

When a Menos Grande becomes an Arrancar, it doesn't always take on a humanoid form.

But only the most powerful class, the Vasto Lordes, take on a human shape one hundred percent of the time.

And as for the other two classes, even if they do become Arrancars, many of them won't take on a humanoid form.

Also...the lower their intelligence, the more likely they'll resemble an ordinary Hollow.

That is unforgivable.

Demora is one thing...but you're implying that I, Iceringer, have low intelligence!

What would we want with human forms? We abandoned our human forms long ago so that we could become even more powerful!

Don't underestimate me, human.

Wh-What the hell is that? Uryu... Is that a bow?

You have to ask? Interesting...

What else would it be? Have you ever known me to go into battle with any other weapon than a bow?

This is my new weapon... Ginreikojaku.

Damn you... You cursed humans!

Oh that's right, I guess I forgot to tell you that I'm not an ordinary human.

I'm a Quincy. That's why I spared your life. I want you to give Aizen a full report.

Go back and tell him it's not the Soul Reapers he should be afraid of. He should fear the Quincies!

You think you should be feared, Quincy? You've got things all wrong, and your arrogance will lead to your death.

Lord Aizen fears nothing.

That's why we bow before him. For creatures like us, born from fear, a man afraid of nothing shines like the moon against the blackness of night.

Everything is illuminated, everything is focused, and ultimately, everything makes sense.

Great! What the hell is going on?

The room's collapsing!

No-one will be leaving now. That's how the room was designed.

We're the guardians of this portal, and our orders are very clear. Anyone who tries to get to Las Noches through this room without permission has to be eliminated.

If we fail in that mission, the sentence is death, pure and simple. We will all be crushed as the room collapses.

This is the type of enemy you face.

The war will be without end. There will be no victory for you.

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

Forget him! Let's get out of here! Quick!
