Ichigo

When did you manage to reconstruct Kukaku's cannon all the way down here?

Kisuke

It all began right around the time Squad Zero descended. Captain Kurotsuchi thought something like this might happen, so he started building it then. By the time I came around, all that was left to do was some finishing touches.

Ichigo

I guess he's a pretty amazing guy.

Kisuke

Captain Kurotsuchi is an absolute genius. Well, second only to me, of course.

Now, keep in mind this is only a replica, and it might not be a perfect one.

The Shiba Family's cannon is one-of-a-kind, built using ancient family secrets. It was impossible for us to replicate it exactly. Our version of it will break down after firing once, that's the main difference.

Ichigo

Wait just once?!

Kisuke

Well, we'll just have to be sure and make that one shot count, won't we? But I'm not worried about that. The real problem is that we don't have sufficient energy to fire the thing.

Orihime

Oh. Well, then how do you plan to get it off the ground?

Akon

Uh, Kisuke. The one you've been waiting for's here. She's completed the assignment you gave her.

Kisuke

Good. Tell her to begin the next stage.
