7-5 The Dark Beat 2

What the hell was that?! Don't go making things worse than they are.

Ichigo has finally activated his Fullbring. I think it's time for us to tell him about Tsukishima.

No. We still don't have any idea how powerful Ichigo's Fullbring really is.

We also don't know if he has full control over it. Here's the other thing.

Letting Ichigo know that Tsukishima was the one who attacked Orihime will be very dangerous.

I see. He's the one who did it.

Ichigo.

I had no idea that you guys were so concerned about me and what I'd do.

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

You must have a bad temper.

You attacked my friend, Orihime. Were you also the one who cut down Uryu?

What do you think?

Grh!

(He used Fullbring against the concrete to really boost his jump. It was very slight, but during his jump, he applied Fullbring to the air to accelerate himself.)

(He's already mastered Fullbring enough to use it to that extent?)

Impressive.

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

I take it back. Looks like you're more capable than I'd originally anticipated. And yet, it's a shame.

Your Fullbring power is still not complete. You still have a long way to go.

That's far enough. Sorry, but I'd say it's still too early for Ichigo to be fighting you.

Why are you interfering, Ginjo?

We see things differently. Because to me, you're the one who's doing the interfering here.

Ginjo, get out of my way.

Not gonna happen.

I mean it. Move, so I can take him out.

Gah!

You just don't get it, do you? I'm saying you're in the way here.

We can't afford to have you die. So just shut up and stay down. Got it?

You're serious about this? If you fight me here, you'll die. You know that.

We really don't see things the same way, do we?

I am serious about this. And you're the one who's gonna die.

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

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

What is it?

Don't do it, Ichigo. You feel that power's weaker, right? In your condition, it'd be impossible to beat him!

So you expect me to just stand here and watch this? You'd let the guy who attacked Uryu and Orihime get away with what he did?

Ichigo!

That's a big difference from a few seconds ago.

Not bad. The power you just displayed, it's a lot closer to the power that you once possessed.

Invaders Must Die.

What the hell's this?!

I get it. You don't want me coming in contact with Ichigo Kurosaki when his powers are still incomplete. Especially since he is so very close to perfecting them. That right, Yukio?

Hey! What just happened?

Where the hell am I?! Let me out! Now!

With Ichigo's powers so close to being fully formed, you've saved him from coming in contact with me.

But you made a mistake. Why wouldn't you have confined me in your console instead?

I thought of that, but I didn't have enough battery life to hold you as well.

And besides, the truth is, that wasn't why I saved Kurosaki anyway.

Hey, you hear that down there? Looks like we've attracted a crowd. The police, fire department...

Those explosions we made do attract attention. TV news choppers might even show up here soon.

This is turning into big pain for us, but isn't all of this posing a problem for you too?

It's time to get going, Mr. Tsukishima.

But if you're thinking you want to make a scene instead, then I'd suggest you stay here and go for it.
