Hachigen

It's been a while, hasn't it, Miss Soi Fon?

Soi Fon

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

Marechiyo

What? Wait a minute, Captain. Do you know this guy? Why didn't you say something to me earlier?

You should have told me! I thought he was just some stranger who butted into our fight!

Bgah!

Soi Fon

I don't know him. I've never seen him before.

Hachigen

Hm. I should have expected you wouldn't acknowledge our acquaintanceship.

I'm aware that you never thought very highly of any of us. I suppose it's only natural.

Barragan

You are wasting time.

It doesn't matter who you are, or what powers you have. All those things are meaningless to me.

You are all equally helpless against my power.

Now then, turn to bones, and perish.

2. After the battle

Barragan

Hahahahahaha! How absurd!

You think this structure can contain me? You're deluded! It will barely slow me down!

Hachigen

You're missing the point. That barrier is not actually meant to contain you.

Barragan

Hm? What?

Hachigen

Do you remember? You avoided Captain Soi Fon's Bankai by releasing your aging powers, which caused it to detonate before it struck. At the same time, you directed the blast away from you.

I asked myself a simple question. If you were in a place where you couldn't escape the force of a blast...

...then what would happen to you?

Soi Fon

Repeat your promise. Tomorrow, you'll trap Kisuke Urahara in one of your barriers for a full month.

Hachigen

Oh, I promise.

Soi Fon

Good. Jakuho Raikoben. See ya.

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

Soi Fon

*Pant* *Pant* Gh...ah...

Hachigen

Are you two all right down there?

Marechiyo

What kind of question is that, fatso?! Of course not! She could have died!

Soi Fon

Under normal circumstances, I can only use the Jakuho Raikoben once every three days. Now, I've used it twice in one day.

Just so we're clear, I expect to be compensated for this.

Hachigen

Oh, yes. Of course. I'll pay you back as promised... Huh?!

Impossible!

Barragan

Unforgiveable! You will pay for this!

I'm surprised that an ant like you has even been able to injure me.

You will regret your insolence toward me! I will turn you all to dust!
