[At first there's only static, but then the sound of two frantic, almost childlike voices can be heard shouting. The picture remains blank for the moment.]
Szayel Aporro-sama. Szayel Aporro-sama!
[A male voice responds, sounding bored.]
...Hmm? Oh, it's you, Lumina and Verona. What is it?
Aaroniero died! Died, died, died!
Oh? It seems you're right. The report's coming in now. I was so preoccupied that I didn't even notice. Hmm...
[There's a pause as the owner of the voice listens to the rest of this supposed report. When he speaks again, he's addressing someone new.]
It says they're both dead, Shinigami-kun. They killed each other.
[And at last, we have a visual. Renji is down on one knee, breathing heavily. Zabimaru is in his hand, and blood drips to the ground beneath him with a steady plip plip plip sound.]
What the hell are you talking about?
[Addressing him is a man with pink hair dressed in white and wearing glasses. Unlike Renji, he appears composed and completely unharmed.]
As I said, one of your friends and an Espada killed each other. [Clapping slowly.] Congratulations, that's quite an achievement.
[Renji stares at him suspiciously.]
How do you know?
[Szayel flips his hair, smirking. Renji's doubt only seems to add to his amusement.]
Oh? You don't believe me? I even know the name of the girl who died.
[He pauses for dramatic effect, obviously enjoying the moment.]
It was...Kuchiki Rukia.
[Renji's eyes widen, and he launches an immediate attack at Szayel, swinging Zabimaru like a whip in a powerful curved strike which the Espada easily blocks with one hand, then-]
