Barragan

Chuhlhourne... Abirama... Findorr... Poww...

Useless fools!

Ggio

Lord Barragan! We're terribly sorry, sir!

We know it is our duty to do away with those Soul Reapers immediately. So please, sit while we take care of them.

Soi Fon

So, just who are you going to do away with?

Are you planning on doing away with our men down there? Or did you mean killing all of us?

Depending on your reply, I will start by doing away with you.

Ggio

Hmph.

Soi Fon

Actually, I'm gonna get rid of you no matter what.

Genryusai

Very well. Shall we at last get on with the real fight?

I implore you! You must put all your spirit into this to defeat them here! Even if your flesh is torn from your body, use your bones to form an impenetrable wall!

No matter what the cost, we must never let them step even one foot into the Soul Society!

Attack, now!!!

Soi Fon

Omaeda! You're nervous. You look tense. Scared of going into battle?

You're so pathetic, I can't stand to look at you.

This may be my best chance to be rid of you. Do me a favor. Find a way in this fight to end up dead.

Marechiyo

Huh?!

Wait! What're you saying?! I'm not scared! I am ready to fight!

Sorry, but I'm not planning on dying!

Soi Fon

I see.

Then don't die.

Marechiyo

I won't, though it sounded like you want me to!

Soi Fon

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

Ggio

You worried? Your second-in-command is getting his ass kicked.

Soi Fon

So what?

He's a fool and the only thoughts he ever has are about money, food, and his family's business.

He should get beat up a bit. It'd be a good lesson for him.

Ggio

Saying that's pretty cold. Is that how things work with you?

Soi Fon

I don't like a cozy atmosphere in my squad.

In order to train effectively, I think subordinates and superiors should be at odds with each other.

It's all over, Arrancar. I didn't have the time to learn your name.

Sting all enemies to death...

...Suzumebachi!

Nigeki Kessatsu, death in two stings.

That is the power of my Suzumebachi.

Ggio

What are you talking about? Are you saying if that thing stings me twice, I'm history?

Soi Fon

You're about to find out.

3. After the battle

Ggio

You're not too efficient for an assassin!

Maybe you do have a weapon that kills an enemy in two strikes. Why announce it? Why not just use it? With Flash Step, this battle would be over by now.

That's what I would've done.

Soi Fon

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

Ggio

Disappointing. I expected more. You're the captain of Squad 2, the unit that's known as the Stealth Force?

I heard that that squad was compromised of assassins, the most lethal fighters in all of the Soul Society. But so far, I'm not impressed with your technique.

Or is this the best that the Soul Society has to offer?

Guess what? Now, you have time to learn my name. And I'm gonna tell you.

His Majesty Barragan's Fracción, Ggio Vega.

And while I'm on the subject, there's another name you should hear as well.

Bite off, Tigre Estoque!

Soi Fon
