<<< Stark vs Love & Rose>>>
There’re mountains of debris left after the fight between Hacchi and Barragan ended.
Love half-turning jumps out of a pile of debris and addresses Rose who's still buried in debris:
Love: Hey, get out of there, Rose! Hacchi did it!
After a moment Rose pulls out only his hand from under debris, and Love says, frustrated:
Love: Shut it! Stop lazing around and get outta there already.
Rose: There's this thing called aesthetics even for pulling someone from under debris, you know!
Love: Oh, really? Then next time aesthetically don’t get buried under debris!
And then both Love and Rose look up at the sky, where they see Hacchi who just finished his grand battle, and mutter deeply moved
Rose: He really did it, our Hacchi… Even though his opponent seemed very strong…
Love: Ah, if possible I wanted us to sort it out before it happens.
Rose: Why is that?
Love: It should be obvious. Because chances are when a comrade is down the battle turns into one of revenge.
With this Love glances at Stark. Rose noticing Love’s look glances at Stark as well.
Rose: Who knows… He doesn't really seem to be this type of person
Love: He doesn't, and that's why he's so frightening. There’re no guys who would be unaffected by death of a comrade. Well, anyway…
Love: Victor will be the one who makes the first move!
Love unsheathes his sword and mightily jumps at Stark.
Love: Crush (uchikudake), Tengumaru!
Love goes shikai without wasting a second.
Love’s sword turnes into a demon-ish club a few times larger than him. He swings this club downward at Stark. Stark reacts instantly to Love’s surprise attack and pulls the trigger aiming at Love. But this shot gets beaten off with Love’s club
Love: Like this would work on me!
With this he viciously raises his club over his head with both hands and strikes at Stark once again.
Stark dodged Love’s earlier attack and appeared behind Love’s back, but now gets hit with this one.
There’s a great explosion from the hit and all gets covered in dust.
Stark smashes into the ground from the hit.
Stark: This hurts.
Lylinette: Stark! What are you spacing out here for?! Aren’t you fighting for revenge?!
Stark doesn’t even attempt to get up lying where he fell. He says sulkily:
Stark: I said that I’m not the revengeful type, didn’t I? Even Aizen-sama doesn't feel like helping us… They’re strong… I get it, clear, so enough of this. If you understand let’s just go home and sleep…
Lylinette: STAAARK!!! Are you idiot or something?! You’re #1! Remember this and don’t lose your face! You haven’t been serious acting all cool from the moment we arrived here! Aizen-sama gave you #1 because he believes in your strength! If you don't like your comrades dying and their number decreasing, then you have no choice but to fight!
Stark: Yeah, you’re right…
At this moment Love after landing a hit at Stark suddenly senses something:
Love: {His movements have become duller compared to earlier ones. So he's the type who wavers after all?}
Rose who appeared behind Love asks
Rose: Have you beaten him?
Love: Hardly. It’s just there’s no sign of movement is all. Is he planning something I wonder… Whatever the case, the dust isn’t clearing and I can’t do anything from here anymore.
Rose: It’s because of your own attack that you lost the opportunity for the next attack… You’re just unbelievable…
Love: Shut up! I didn’t lose it yet!
Stark chooses this moment to appear from the dust.
Love: So he came out at last!
Love seeing Stark’s form leaves Rose behind and vigorously rushes towards Stark; holding his club with both hand he swings it at Stark.
Stark stops the club with Lylinette, and Love says to him
Love: You had me waiting there. Were you grieving?
Stark: Yeah, something like that.
Love and Stark come at each other again
Love: That’s quite surprising! And here I thought that you, Hollows, have no heart!
Stark: Look who’s talking. You yourself look like a Hollow.
Love: You’re talking about a mask?
With this Love runs his left hand gently over his face donning his mask
Love: ...About this mask?
Then Love with his demon-ish mask on addresses to his club
Love: Let’s do it, Tengumaru… It’s gonna be a bit hot, but put up with it…
He raises his club high above his head and shouts
Love: Fire-blowing mallet (hifuki no kozuchi)!
Again there’s a lot of smoke all around.
But before Love has a chance to actually land a hit Stark vanishes.
Love: His presence disappeared again… where’s he?
Rose: Above you, Love!!
Hearing Rose’s voice Love looks up and exclaims surprised
Love: What is… this…?!
And there’s Stark before Love’s eyes accompanied by wolves as far as the eye can reach.
Narrator: What is this pack...?!
