Story transcript

Satan: Step into the ring, boy. Let's see what that soul of yours is worth.

Ichigo: Tch... he's fast for something that big.

Satan: Heh, is this all you can muster, boy. If so, then I am very disappointed.

Ichigo: I'm just… getting started.

Satan: Good, because I am too.

Mammon: Oi, this bloke's already done! Easiest bet I ever won.

Leviathan: Pathetic. He doesn't DESERVE to stand in this arena.

Asmodeus: Mmm, such a shame. He had a lovely face before Satan rearranged it.

Beelzebub: Easy there, Ozzie. you wouldn’t want your dear Froggie jealous.

Asmodeus: Ha, true. especially with that sweet berry is about to be jam once Satan is through with him.

Mammon: 10 grand say he does get turned to bloody jam.

Asmodeus: Oh, you’re on, Mammon.

Stolas: You think, the boy will stand the chance?

Lucifer: No if he’s holding back.

Stolas: You can tell?

Lucifer: Of course, he’s worried that by going all, he’ll risk causing damage again.

Zangetsu: Get up, King. You didn't come all the way to Hell just to die on your knees.

Ichigo: Shut up, I can do this.

Zangetsu: Oh please, you’re holding back, I can tell. what? you’re afraid you’ll bust the gates again.

Zangetsu: you know the last time, you and I weren’t still in good terms, right. You can definitely control

Zangetsu: So stop being a wuss and kick the devil’s ass already. unless your giving up and awaiting damnation?

Zangetsu: and what would Orihime and little Kazui think when they learn you’re damned in Hell for all eternity

Ichigo: Damn it, I hate it when you’re right

Zangetsu: So are you gonna quit and be Satan’s bitch?

Ichigo: Hell no!

Ichigo: Bankai! Tensa Zangetsu!

Zangetsu: Now that’s more like it!

Lucifer: There it is.

Stolas: So what are his chances now?

Lucifer: Very good.

Stolas: for Ichigo, right? Or for Satan?

Lucifer: Yes

Ichigo: GETSUGA... TENSHO!

Satan: GAH!!!!

Mammon: What the, he bloody wounded Satan, I don’t believe it!

Asmodeus: Looks like you owe me 10’000 souls, Mammon.

Beelzebub: Both of us.

Mammon: *grrr* smart Alec Rooster

Satan: Heh... hehahaha! Well I'll be damned. I yield, boy. You earned it.

Satan: according to the trials of combat, you are cleared of the charges placed against you.

Ichigo: That’s it, I can go now?

Satan: Don't look so relieved, boy. Winning the fight was the easy part.

Satan: You are cleared of the charges for the Gate’s destruction and the Soul King’s murder, but you left a HUGE mess in it’s wake.

Ichigo: ...Of course it would be this easy. So what now?
