Bleach 253

01)
N: ...I...
N: ..Ichigo..
N: Gehoh
N: Gohoh
N: Geho
I: ...Sorry,
I: Nell.
I: Because I was being such a stubborn idioit...
I: I made you experience pain...
I: In order to be prepared to fight the Espada,
I: I thought that using Bankai against any other foe would be out of the question.
I: That's...
I: ...what I decided when I came to this place.

02)
I: What a load of shit.

03)
D: Is that so?
D: In order to fight, you issue commands unto yourself.
D: That is a necessary thing for those who seek strength.
D: I think it's quite wonderful!
I: Not if it causes pain to one of my nakama in the process.
D: Do you mean to say, then, that strength is not your true goal?
D: If protecting your nakama is your real wish,
D: Then having strength gives you the ability to do so, correct?
D: How kind of you, nino.
D: You're almost like a saint.
D: However...

04)
D: There are still greater things even beyond that.
D: You know what I mean.
D: I'm talking about "Hollow Transformation."
D: All the information from your battles in the material world have been transferred here.
D: You have a way of blasting your battle power up to unreasonable levels by transforming closer to a Hollow, don't you?

05)
D: Unleash it!!

07)
D: Interesting!
D: What an impressive reiatsu!!
D: But!
D: I already told you...
D: I want to see ALL of your power!!
D: You have...

08)
D: ..no choice, nino.

09)
D: ...Huun.
D: ...What's wrong?
D: Did I anger you, nino?
I: You bastard...!
D: What do you have to be angry about?
D: If your goal is to "protect your nakama," the mine is certainly to "defeat you at full-power."
D: It is for that reason that I target not you, nino,
D: but that tiny babe within your arms.
D: That's all there is to it!

10)
I: You really...
I: ...have no shame, do you?!
D: Indeed, I do!
D: My shame is...!
D: WHEN I'M NOT FIGHTING SERIOUSLY WITH YOU, NINO!

11)
D: This shame you speak of, compared to that...
D: ...is practically nonexistant, nino.
I: ...I understand.

12)
I: ...Nell.
I: I need you to step back for a bit.
I: Right there is good.
I: it's alright.
I: Not even a sliver of reiatsu...
I: ...is going to escape past me.
D: ...Hou.
N: ...Ichigo...

13)
I: Sorry, but...
I: ...you'll only be able to watch this for a single instant.
D: That's more than enough.
I: ...Is that so...
I: I guess that's good, then.

15)
D: ...Hu...
D: HUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
D: Amazijng!!
D: What an amazing reiatsu!!
D: To think I'm fighting with an enemy this amazing!
D: My mind is filled with a thousand emotions, nino!!
D: Saa!
D: Now, with my full power as well...
D: We'll be able to drink all this in together, won't we?!
D: Nino!!!

16)
D: ..Wha...

17)
D: What...
D: ...the hell...

18)
I: Didn't I tell you...
I: ...it'd only be for an instant?

19)
D: ...to my chagrin.

Sidebar: Victory, in an instant!!
But the darkness grows ever deeper...
