"Move." Ichigo hears someone say to him and he can't help but do what the man he sees standing behind him says.
The man has long red hair and glowing red eyes that seem to be flowing with power, but it's the white clothes that the man is wearing along with the hole in his chest that forces Ichigo to stay perfectly still after doing what the man says.
"Ichigo can only watch as the man grabs one of the arrows that Uryū is trying to kill the monster with before it hits the creature, before raising his hand and forcing the arrow into the monster's head.
The centipede screams in pain as it violently shakes and moves its body back and forth as it tries to escape from the stranger who still has his hand buried inside of the monster's head.
"These things use poison to paralyze their food so that they can eat them while they are still alive." the man says to them as he uses his free hand to drop a bottle next to Rukia's unmoving body.
"Your friend is still alive, just make sure she drinks that." the stranger says to them before he pulls the monster's head and drops it next to its body.
"I killed it, so this is my food." he says to everyone before picking up the monster's body and carrying it away.
"That man was a hollo." Ichigo hears the voice from his help screen say to him, as Yuzu runs past him and forces the contents of the bottle into Rikias mouth and forces Rukia to keep her mouth close so that she can drink it.
Once again he's forced to see how useless he is and even as Rukia gasps for air he wasn't the one that helped her, no the one that saved her was yuzu.
Ichigo looks past his sister and Rukia and sees Uryū looking at the bow in his hands, no doubt he's thinking the same thing, they were both useless.

"Wow and here I thought that I would find even more dead people." Asuna says as she walks up to the group.
"Who are you?" Chad says to Asuna as he hides Karin behind him.
"Calm down, I came to find you guys because unlike everyone else you haven't left this place yet." she says to them while she raises her hands and tries to show that she isn't a threat.
"You just said that you expected to find more dead bodies." Uryū says to her as he aims one of his blue arrows at him.
"Put that down before I hurt you." Asuan says to Uryū before she appears next to him and pulls the bow out of his hands and jumps to catch the arrow before it can fly away.
'All of you are slow, your weapons are nowhere near the power that they should be."
"And if the look of terror and helplessness that I see on all of your faces, none of you have seen anything like what you are seeing now," Asuna says to the group before she hands Uryū his bow back.
"So are you here to help us?" Rukia asks Asuna who points at a nearby forest.
"The animals there are weak, you can use them to learn how to swing your swords properly, while at the same time, you can eat the ones that you kill." she answers Rukia before she points at Arihime and then to Rukia.
She signals t the two of them to follow her before she walks a little further away from the rest of the group before deciding that there is no way that the group can hear what she's about to say to them.
"Waite we're missing a pair.' Asuna says to them before she vanishes and reappears with both of Ichigo's sisters.
"Give them back!" she hears Ichigo desperately screams to her as she creates a wall to keep him away from the small group of women in front of her.
'Tis is girl talk, no boys allowed." she says to Ichigo through her help screen.
"The four of you weren't present when I gave my talk and now I'm forced to look for all of you." Asuna says to them as she looks at the teenagers and preteens in front of her.
"I'll make my explanation quick, this pink bottle stops you from getting pregnant and this blue bottle makes men lose control," she says to them as she sends the bottles to the four girls.
"Both things are weapons and things that can be used for fun." she says to them before she draws her sword and points it to the right towards something that no one can see.
The four girls can only watch as blood begins to fall from something that none of them can see, as Asuna pulls her sword away from it.`
The four girls can only watch as Asuna whips the blood off the blade and then puts it back into its sheath.
'The four of you are women, I don't think that I need to tell you why your armors have skirts." she says to them as her sword makes a small click sound when it locks itself back into place.
"Before I came here, I had to search for several groups that suffered worse fates than you, do any of you want to guess what were the survivors."
The sound of Ichigo slamming his sword on the invisible wall that Asuna created makes everyone turn and look at him, they can see how desperate he is and they can see how helpless he feels because he can't break the wall.
"Well, he is persistent." Asuna says to herself.
"Cleaning, cooking, gutting, making both tools and weapons and sex are things that people who can't fight can do." Asuna says t them as a beeping sound alerts her that it's time for her to join the battle.
"If what I just said to all of you seems unnecessarily cruel, and making them wait over there seems unnecessary." Asuna makes sure that all of the girl's eyes are meeting hers.
"When you have time tell them to look at how many new arrivals have died, next to their names will be how they died, and the list next to that one are the people that survived."
"If you are going to look at that one, don't do it alone." Asuna says to them before she snaps her fingers and destroys the wall that was keeping Ichigo away.
Ichigo immediately falls because he was trying to hit the wall before it shattered when he tried to hit it again, there was nothing for him to hit, so he fell forward.
