I do not own Kill La Kill. Kill La Kill is own by Trigger and it's respectful owners.

Armed with a crowbar, Philia pried off wooden planks boarding off a door. She hummed a song to herself before she kicked the door in. It was rotting anyway.

The house stank of rot and dirt, rats skittered here and there while moths fluttered there and here. There was no furniture or any appliances, just empty space with a broken chair and a bed frame with no mattress.

She was assigned this housing unit when she signed up for the academy. While she really wasn't picky where she lived, she's glad she decided to live with the Mankanshoku family

If there's anything she hated more than taxes it was being alone.

Careful where she walked, Philia came into a kitchen area—the house was just one big box—that was just a counter missing a sink. She squatted down and opened the cabinets-

A snake lunged out fangs bared with venom. Philia yawped as she snatched the damn thing midair. It wriggled and hissed as she held its head.

"Daw, look at ya! All nasty and angsty!" The young woman smiled as she stroked the snake. "Now don't throw a hissy fit."

The snake hissed and Philia laughed at her joke.

Placing the serpent to the side, it slithered away as the woman rummaged through the cabinet. She grabbed a floorboard and moved it. She revealed cobalt blue case, a duffel bag, and long cross shaped object covered in wrappings.

"Didn't think I would need to use ya guys again so soon." She sighed and opened the blue case, a chrome red shine lighting her face. "But how am I suppose to fight against these Goku uniforms?"

"Perhaps I can be of some assistance?" Philia jerked around, knife in backward grip, ready to stab. She saw a figure standing in her doorway but she lowered her guard when she recognized who it was.

"Mr. Mikisugi? Whatcha ya doing here?" She asked when she saw that shaggy laid back teacher.

"Well, I thought you could use a little something to help you in your upcoming battle."

The man smirked before he flipped his hair back, donning his super sexy teacher persona. That mysterious neon lighting illuminating the house.

'Oh boy,' the girl deadpanned.

~ ~ ~

"UUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!" Philia groaned as she trudge along. She was not looking forward to this. Not to mention her ass hurt.

... FROM GAMMAGORI FISTING HER!!! Don't get any wrong ideas.

"Ah, don't be so glum Philia! I'm sure you'll be fine!" Mako skipped along with her. "Besides, even if you do get your butt kicked, I'll still be cheering you on!"

"Gee thanks."

Philia sighed, mentally preparing herself as she entered the school. Unlike the fight between Ryuko and Satsuki, there were no banners or masses of students surrounding them. They had made a set of bleachers circling the courtyard. Most likely learning their lessons from the last fight.

Looking up, one could see Satsuki and her Elite Four standing atop their platform. Satsuki sat on her throne, drinking out of her teacup.

The Elite Four all looked down on the girl, smug auras surrounding them. They were all whispering among each other. Laughing and jittering.

"Oh boy, they're looking forward to seeing my ass getting beat." Philia grumbled, noting the numerous eyes staring from the school. They all had a malicious anticipation in them, waiting for the fight. Or a slaughter.

"Hey, don't be nervous," Ryuko gave a pat to the back, "if things get too out of hand, just call for me and I'll bail you out."

"I know ya mean well, but that feels demeaning, Ryuko dear." Philia's muscles tensed, her legs ready to move at a moment's notice.

"Hey, I mean it. You're my friend, your life matters. You don't have a Kamui, so don't be afraid to back out."

The young woman closed her eyes, nodding in acceptance. It was nice having someone say that. To have someone have your back.

"Okay," she popped her neck as she approached her opponent, "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Just keep out of it unless I call ya."

"By the way whats with all the stuff?" She gestured to the pocket pouches and mini backpack Philia had. She also had some weird giant cross wrapped up on her back. Did she really doubt her own chances that she brought her own grave marker?

"Well... lets just say when yer on the run, yer bound to have a couple of things for security." Philia patted her pouches, "Side's, I went out and got a few things to help me."

~ ~ ~

"Gammagori," Satsuki called out, staring straight at Philia. The man immediately slid in front of his Lady, head bowed as he kneeled.

"Yes, Lady Satsuki?"

"Don't rough her up too much." The girl took another sip of her tea. "But don't go easy on her."

The man grinned before he stood to his full 2.69 (nice) meters. He slammed his fist together, cracking his knuckles.

"Of course."

~ ~ ~

"So is he gonna take the stairs down or... ah nope, he jumped off the platform." Philia slowly lowered her head, following the giant as he descended the sky.

When he landed, the ground trembled as dust flew up in the air. When the dust settled, a crater was left when the man had landed. Gammagori had done a superhero landing from several stories high and he looked none worse for wear.

"Ah merde, imma get my ass kicked." Philia sighed before shaking her entire body. Trying to shake out those nervous jitters.

Click!

As the two walked to meet each other in the middle, Satsuki click her heel as she stood at the edge of her platform. Sword erect she shouted.

"This duel shall be between Ira Gammagori and Fauche C. Philia! None shall interfere or they shall suffer the crossfire!" She yelled, that golden glow illuminating the sky.

"And should they survive the consequences they won't escape them." The young lady turned an eye down onto Ryuko. The punk frown, shooting a bird at her counter.

"Fauche," Philia perked up at her name, "your objective is to subdue Gammagori by any means necessary. Gammagori will in turn responded anyway he sees fit."

"Okay, so just take him down, but don't kill him-"

"DEATH IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE!! YOU WILL BEGIN!!" Satsuki cut her off as she slammed her sword down.

"Okay, could we maybe-" Philia didn't finish as Gammagori threw a hard hook into the girl.

Everyone ooo'd as the girl sprung around.

"Why don't you pay attention?!" The man yelled only to get hit in the face back.

Everyone oooo'd again as the girl seemingly returned the punch.

"Okay, asshole! Have it your way!" Philia took a stance that of a martial artist. Her hands moved around smoothly and slick, like water.

"That's.. Tai Chi?" Sanageyama realized, his super eyes able to see how the girl moved. He recognized the fighting style, but something was off.

"It appears to parallel the martial art, but her stance is different." Satsuki noted, "see how different her hands form, as well as he footing."

The swordsman looked closer as he realized his Lady was right. Looked like a fighting style that took inspiration from Tai Chi.

"Well, well, it seems we have an experienced fighter. Let's see how things play out."

"Lucky shot," Gammagori wiped his lip, "What fighting style is that?" Normally he was the one to return the attack, not the other way around.

"Keep fucking around and yer bound to find out." Philia kept a straight face, but on the inside she was crying.

'OH MY GOD, IT FELT LIKE PUNCHING A BRICK WALL!' She resisted the urge to soothe her hand, managing to keep a tough face.

"Well then," Gammagori flicked his arm and a spiked purple whip appeared. "Let's see how well you dance!"

Reeling an arm back, the man whipped his arm forward, his whip cracking the air. It snapped at the girl's foot, tearing through her boot.

"Gah! Son of a-! Merde! Mierda! Shit!" Philia jumped on her each foot. Gammagori laughed as he made her dance, only for the girl to stomp on the whip.

"Stop it!" She snapped back (lol).

"Very well!" He grinned yanking his whip and making her trip. He whipped at her again, marking her back like a slave master would with his... well slave.

"Come on Philia! Don't let him dominant you!" Ryuko yelled from the sidelines.

"Yeah Philia! Don't let him punish you like that... unless you're into that!" Mako added.

"Rrrrrgh! I'm not into this kinky shit!" Philia rolled to the side, dodging a whip that left a rather large gash in the ground. Gammagori snapped his whip again, aiming for her head but she jerked her head in time.

Before he recalled his whip, Philia snatched it, hissing as the spikes dung into her skin. She tried to pull the man but, I mean come on, really?

Gammagori lightly tugged his whip, yanking the girl towards him like a yo-yo. He went to grab her, but she twisted her body and slammed her feet into his face. She leaped off of him and yanked herself back and slammed into him again and again.

"Rah! Enough!" Gammagori yanked his whip, before spinning it above his head. Philia yelled as she was pulled along, spinning above as well before she let go.

"Yaaaahhhh!!" She flew across the air before rolling across the ground. She would have slowed to a stop if Gammagori didn't come in and kick her up into the air like a soccer ball.

The girl cough up saliva as she was sent into the air. She floated in the air only for Gammagori to leap up, hands clasped together.

She realized what he was about to do as he slammed his hands down. But with a twist of her body and slight of hands she reflect his fists. He missed his mark and got a stomp to the back of the head.

Philia drove her feet into the toad's head as hard as she could before slamming him into the ground. His face broke into ground, his body remaining erect.

The girl hopped off his body, wondering if he was still alive. She got his answer as without bending his body, Gammagori rose from the ground, not even fazed.

"Heh Heh, gotta use yer head huh?" Philia gave a weak smile before she recieved a fist. She gasped as it hit her whole torso, but she stood her ground and reflected the hit.

It stunned the man, giving her a chance to punch him in the stomach, but even that didn't do shit. It still felt like punching a brick wall.

"I don't know how you do that, reflecting my own punches back to me," he spat out a bit of saliva, "but your direct attacks have no effect on my Three Star uniform!"

Whipping out two whips, he snapped at the girl at a faster speed than before. She did her best to dodge and deflect the strikes, but the spikes always cut her. If she continued like this, her hands would be renderer a bloody useless mess.

"Okay, that's it!" Deflecting once more, Philia reached behind her and pulled out her wrapped cross and slammed it down.

Slash!

"Whoa! Awesome sword!" Ryuko looked in awe as Philia drew a silvery shining blade. It was a single edge blade that was nearly the size of Philia herself. Thought that wasn't saying much since she was short as hell.

'Why do I feel like someone is insulting me?' Philia frowned but shook it off. Keeping an eye on Yo Gabba Gabba, she slowly removed the wrapping covering her blade.

"What the hell is that supposed to be?" Gammagori asked as he yanked back his whip. He examined the end, noting how the blade somehow cut through the life fibers. That shouldn't be possible.

"It's a knife." The wanderer grinned.

"The hell it is, that thing is almost as big as you!"

"Are ya calling me short?!"

"How the hell do you get to that conclusion?!" Replacing his whips, he snapped at her again only for her to block the strikes and cut them down.

"How are you cutting them?" Gammagori formed a braid of whips in one hand and a Cat-o-nine tail whip in the other.

"Fuck ya, that's how!" Philia deflected the braid, but got snapped by the Cat-o-nine. She was sent back, but managed to raise her sword and block another strike.

"Stop hitting me!" The girl dashed forward and swung her blade. The man slapped away the blade, but the girl swing again. He quickly side stepped the blade, but tripped on her foot she put behind his.

As he fell back, he could see the girl at his head, sword raised above her head ready to swing down on his neck. Quickly, he grabbed her leg and tossed her away.

But she stabbed her sword in the ground and without pause continued her assault.

"That was my neck!" Gammagori pointed out. He whipped at her, making her leap back. He needed to be careful.

"Yer faster and tougher than me!" She countered, "And I know yer going easy on me. If I don't fight with the intent to kill, I won't get anywhere with ya." She took a stance again.

Gammagori narrowed his eyes before forming multiple whips. The two stared each other down before he made the first move.

Faster than the eye could see and move, he swung his arms, send his whips like the raindrops in a storm. And this time Gammagori could see Philia wasn't just swing her sword like manic.

She was a master with the blade. She swung with calculating intent, deflecting and slicing apart anything that came into her space. He swung faster, adding more and more whips, but she seemingly kept up some how.

"Martial artist and master swordswoman. She just keeps on surprising us." Inumuta watched as he recorded the fight. Data was important, especially if this girl was keeping up with Gammagori, regardless if he was going easy in her.

"Whoa... Philia's amazing, Ryuko! She like some kinda ninja with that sword!" Mako hopped in place as she watched Philia cut down Gammagori's whips.

"Yeah, I know." Ryuko watch in awe as well. But she felt conflicted. Philia seemed to always want to avoid conflict, but from what she could see, the wanderer seemed to be an even better fighter than her! Without a Kamui of course.

"What do you think, Senketsu?" She looked down at her uniform. The Kamui's single eye watched the girl, pondering on how she could keep up.

"We don't know much about her do we?" He responded.

"Yeah, I guess your right."

"Grrr! That's enough!" Gammagori wrapped a whip around the girl's sword before yanking it. He watched her quickly dash for it, as he predicted and he raised a foot to stomp on her.

But the girl slid across the ground, and when she was right underneath him, she pulled out a double barrel shotgun. His eyes widened in shock before fear struck him when he saw where she was aiming.

Boom!

A gunshot echoed through the air as the man suddenly felt like he got punched in the family jewels. Sure his Goku uniform protected him, but a shotgun blast from point blank did not feel great!

Everyone boy in the courtyard could feel the Gammagori's pain as they watched him slowly fall to the ground. Even the girls winced as they could somehow feel the pain the man went as he held his nonads.

"Oh, that's dirty." Mako covered her eyes but still peeked through them.

"As a girl, you gotta take every opportunity to even out the fight." Ryuko defended her friend, but even she wrinkled her face. A gunshot to the balls, oof.

Philia was quick to pick up her sword and took the chance to strike Gammagori while he was down. Rather dishonorable, but she didn't have super suit.

Slash!

Everyone gasped as Philis's silver blade struck the man, red spraying out. The Elite Four all jerked up as Satsuki watched with surprise. Even Ryuko and Mako were shocked.

Gammagori gasped as he felt the blade mark his back. Pushing past his manhood he leaped away from the girl. She dashed for him, but with a quick kick he sent her sprawling away.

He tried to check his back, but he was simply too jacked. Unbeknownst to him, the blade had only sliced through the Goku Uniform, the red coming from the severed Life Fibers. It didn't even make it all the way through the uniform. Slowly the fibers threaded themselves back together, leaving nothing but a faint mark of stitching.

"How is that possible?!" Inumuta watched as he typed away on his labtop. This information was extremely valuable now.

"That shouldn't be possible, the only thing that we know of that can slice through the Life Fibers is Matoi's scissor blade!" Sanageyama tried to think of what else could slash through the Goku uniforms.

"Unless it was sharp enough," Satsuki finished the green boy's thought. She glanced at her sword, the sheath holding her blade. With excellent skill and a sharp enough edge, any strike could cut through the Life Fibers.

It was only a matter of giving enough power behind that strike as well as dealing with the self healing properties of the fibers. Curiouser and curiouser.

"Make sure to get all this Inumuta," Satsuki reminded the boy, snapping him back to reality.

"Of course, my Lady." The boy nodded as he focused on the fight.

"That blade," Gammagori rolled his shoulders, making sure his uniform wasn't comprimised. It seemed fine to him. "Where did you get that?"

"Ay chingada," Philia cursed in another tongue, holding her chest. That kick really hurt. Came outta nowhere. Well, not nowhere. Out of panick and desperation.

The wanderer grinned underneath her scarf before she stood up. She swung her blade, making sure it still acted properly.

"KitKat's katana is sharp enough can cut through Ryuko's Kamui," She took a stance again, "So if I sharpen mine, shouldn't it do the same?"

"You're not incorrect," Gammagori tensed his legs. Enough playing around. "But... you are... WRONG!!"

With a burst of speed, the massive man lunged at the girl, delivering a fast hard fist at the girl.

But she then sidestepped the fist, and lunged into his space, sword drawn and ready to slash.

He quickly dodged her swing, but she then used her guard to smack his diaphragm. He wheezed and got struck in the chin and punched in the throat.

He stumbled back, but quickly leaped back as Philia swung at her. She didn't stop her attacks, here eyes hard and focused as she continued swinging. He did his best to dodge without using is full speed, but he did get a couple of nicks here and there.

He threw a backhand but she leaned back only for a whip to slap her. Her body spun, but she used that momentum to shoved her sword at the man.

Gammagori raised an arm to block, thread and blade meeting as the two pushed each other. Philia glared down the man as he was only pushing back lightly.

"Quit pussyfooting around me and fight me for real!" Philia shoved herself off before pulling out her shotgun.

Gammagori quickly jerked the barrel up, the buckshot spraying up into the air. The girl went to stab at him, but he snatched her sword away and smacked her with the hilt.

"Very well then," he put a foot back before he wrapped a whip around the girl's legs and yoinked her up. He spun her around likes flail before tossing her away.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Philia flailed as she flew through the air. She was heading straight for the school's wall!

'Me and my big mouth!' She covered her head, bracing for impacted as she grew closer. Luckily, she smashed right through some windows and smashed into a classroom.

"... you and your friends just love making messes, huh?" Mikisugi groaned as his classroom was destroyed for the third time. And it wasn't even the weekend yet! At least it was just a window and the desks.

"Suck... my...balls..." Philia groaned as she picked herself out of a cluster of desks. She hissed as a text book bonked her on the head. And it was one of those thick ass books that you never use for school.

"Hm, well, don't look now, but your friend is making his way up here." The shaggy teacher pointed out as a whip flew in and embedded itself into the ceiling.

"Uh oh!" The girl quick scrambled out the classroom just as Gammagori pulled himself inside.

"I'm coming for you, Fauche!" The man cackled as he smashed through the wall. Mikisugi cringed on the inside as he could feel the paperwork stacking up.

"Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!!" Philia ran through the hallways, taking every turn and door she found. She ran up stairs, slid down railways, went through classrooms that connected to other hallways. Anywhere and everywhere to put as much distance in between her short ass and that mountain.

"Running in the halls?" Philia slammed into what felt like a brick wall before she realized it was the man she was fleeing from.

"I am the head of the Disciplinary Committee Chair and it is my sole duty to enforce the rules of Honnoji academy!" The man yelled before pulling out a whip.

"I!" He whipped at Philia, "AM!" He whipped her again, "THE LAW!!!" With a final whip he sent the girl howling as she ran through the halls again.

"AH! Son of a-" The girl slammed into Gammagori again.

"Yelling and disrupting peace during class hours?!" The man yelled, whipping the girl again.

"Ow! Everyone's outside!" She yelled before every door in the hallway opened. Teachers and students all shushed the girl, disproving her point.

"How the hell-" She got whipped again.

"No talking during class hour!" Gammagori yelled again.

"Quit fucking whipping me-" He whipped her again.

"No talking back to an authority figure!"

"Augh! Stop it ya bastard! Yer cutting up my clothes!" She gestured to the multiple slashes and gashes on her clothes. There were plenty of red marks on her body as well, bit of blood too.

"Hm, you're right. Your clothes are a ragged mess." The man pointed out.

"Yeah cause of ya-"

"NOT DRESSED IN A CLEAN AND PROPER UNIFORM!!!" Gammagori said calmly as he began repeated whipping the girl.

"GO FUCK YA SELF!!!" Philia responded politely.

~ ~ ~

"Oh man! I hope Philia's doing okay!" Mako shook in her seat in excitement.

"You're telling me," The moment Philia was thrown into the school, Ryuko wanted nothing more than to run after her. "But considering she has a sword and shotgun, who knows whatelse she has."

"I bet she's kicking that Gammagori's ass right now!"

~ ~ ~

Philia huffed and gasped, barely standing as she had multiple cuts and gashes across her body. Her clothes had been reduced to ribbons barely holding on.

But even so, the girl still stood standing.

"I must say, despite being quite small and weak, you are quite durable." Gammagori snapped his wrist, flicking off the blood on his whip.

"Oh believe me, yer not the worst thing I've been through." The girl hissed as she wiped her head. She then dug into her pouches, searching for something.

"Hmph, then I'll be sure that I will be the worst." The Elite created a Cat-o-nine tailed whip, ready to end it. "It seems we had nothing to worry about."

"If yer the worst, then I'm gonna be terrible," Philia muttered before she tossed something at the floor.

Gammagori perked a brow as something rolled towards him. He stared in confusion at what seemed like canisters. Did she think flashbangs would save her?

He was wrong as the canisters began spewing a thick gas. He frowned as he covered quickly stepped out of the gas.

"Tear gas won't save you either!" The man whipped at the girl but found her gone. He searched for her before he suddenly felt something smash into him.

He braced himself but coughed before he was sent skidding back.

He shook his head, holding his stomach but was caught off guard as he was hit in the face. He yelped and got smacked in the face again.

He blindly threw a punch only to feel like he punched himself! He was sent on his back, and held his face. He looked at his hand, feeling he was bleeding.

Gammagori looked to see the wanderer slowly approaching him. She was cracking her knuckles, her face hard and firm before she took off her jacket. Underneath, she revealed a skin tight muscle shirt that was still cut up, but not as bad.

"What the hell did you do?!" He quickly picked himself up and tried to whip her. Only he noticed he was considerably slower.

Slow enough that Philia could dodge his strike. Albeit it still nearly hit her.

"That gas has a chemical agent that nullifies the Life Fibers in yer Goku uniform." Philia slowly rolled her shoulders, stretching as she walked towards him.

"I believe ya Three Stars get uniforms that are made of thirty percent Life Fibers. Against One or Two Stars the gas would have completely negated their Goku uniforms." She explained. "So I guess since you have more fibers in your suit, I would need to apply more gas."

The girl then slowly moved her body. Her hands moved smoothly as if they were cutting through water or air. She stomped her feet, taking a stance. Her form was firm yet well placed.

"Well then," she stared down the man, "Aren'y ta gonna punish me?" She said.

Gammagori glared at the girl, no young woman before him. It seems he needed to take this completely serious then. Not enough to transform, but he wasn't going to go easy on her now.

~ ~ ~

"Very interesting." Satsuki drank out of her teacup.

"Do you think she's the Guerrilla fighter thats been targeting our facilities?" Nonon took a sip out of her own teacup. She had crumpets and biscuits to go along with her drink.

"No, she doesn't match the images we have of him." Inumuta pulls up video recording of a Mohawk man that suspiciously looked a lot like Ryuko.

"Then she must work for those naked idiots. Pretty ballsy if they sent someone to our school. They must have noticed that Matoi girl and are trying to get to her." Sanageyama thought aloud.

"No," Satsuki corrected, "She has no ties to Nudist Beach. But Mikisugi must have made contact with Fauche."

"I suppose that make sense." the monkey nodded. "Where else would she get equipment like that? A super sharp sword, smuggling guns, the gas,"

"The sword and shotgun belong to her." Satsuki turned to look at the Silver blade. Gammagori had thrown it for them to examine.

"Really?" the dude picked up the blade. It was a lot heavier than it looked. Incredibly sharp as well. Unfortunately not his style.

He dropped the balde, the tip embedding itself into the concrete. Pretty dangerous.

~ ~ ~

Gammagori growled as he tanked the hits Philia threw at him. She moved and attacked quickly, her fists striking like a praying mantis.

He flexed his muscles, the force sending the girl back. He seized the chance and threw a punch only for her to somehow reflect the attack right back at him.

He grit his teeth as his fist smashed into his face. He lunged at the girl, clotheslining her before throwing her into a wall.

She slammed into the wall, but managed to roll out the way as Gammagori smashed through it. Even weakened, the man could still kill her if she wasn't careful.

She flicked her hands, trying to shake off the pain. It still felt like punching a wall, but at least she knew she was doing something.

Gammagori returned by smashing through another wall, lunging for the girl. She leaped backwards, avoiding his massive hands. When her foot touched the ground, she lunged at his face, delivering a double palm strike at his neck.

He choked, gasping for air and received a foot to the chin. He stumbled back, but Philia didn't stop her onslaught. She made sure to aim for weak points like pressure points or vital areas.

But Gammagori marched on. He flexed again, pushing back the girl before he swung his fist. The girl went to reflect it back at him, but got a whip to the face.

She stumbled back, and it was Gammagori's turn to deliver an onslaught. He threw arms, whipping her with each swing.

Philia growled before she caught both whips. She wrapped them around her arms, hissing as the spikes dug into her skin, and yanked herself towards him.

She slammed her feet into his stomach making him keel over, but she jerked her head up, hitting his chin. She leaped off of him and yanked herself back at him.

The giant raise his arms to block, but she skipped over him. She twirled her arms and landed behind him before pulling on the whip.

Gammagori found his own whips wrapped aroun his neck, the spikes digging into him. He gasped and choke trying to pull his hands back but couldn't.

Philia grit her teeth as she pulled on the whips, trying to make the man tap out or pass out. Instead he jumped back, and slammed down onto her.

The two gasped, one for air as the other had it squeezed out of them. Gammagori got up, holding his neck as the skin was beginning to break. He look down at Philia who was flat as a pancake.

She weakly raised her hands up, arms shaking as she tried to get up. Not wasting time, he quickly leaped high into the air. He pulled out his elbow, ready to plow in and drive an elbow into the girl.

Seeing her doom, Philia slammed her elbows into the floor kicking herself out of the way. She did a flip barely sticking the landing as Gammagori slammined into the floor.

And through it.

And through the next floor.

Philia controls her breathing as she held her chest and back. Damn he weighed a ton.

Pushing past the pain, she leaped down the hole Gammagori made, making sure to catch herself on a ledge.

She landed in a crater, and readied herself for an attack. The place was dark, but she knew it was a large classroom. She scanned around her, trying to pinpoint the man.

How the boulder on legs walked silently was beyond her, but she strained her ears. She closed her eyes to focus, a mistake on her part as a tendril slithered around her leg.

And like a snake, it struck. Philia was swept off her feet before she was slammed into a wall. She felt the air get squeezed outta of her before she was yanked again.

Agains and again, the martial artist was a whipped around like a wet towel smashing into anything. Walls, floors, the ceiling, everywhere before she was ended by a fist smashing into her whole body.

A crack was heard before she flew to a wall.

Philia crumpled to the floor completely dazed and stunned. She coughed before blood came. She could barely see straight let alone keep here head steady as Gammagori's heavy footsteps stomped towards here.

"You truly are a formidable opponent. I have no doubt that you would have defeated me if your gas hadn't worn off." The man picked up the girl with a single hand. She really was such a small thing.

"Unfortunately, if you faced my transformation, there would have been no chance of victory." The classroom's lights turned on, revealing the room.

Gammagori slightly cringed as he noted some splats of blood here and there. Perhaps he may have gone a bit too far. He shook his head.

No, he was told not to go easy on here. He turned back to the girl. Death is of no consequence-

He was brought out of his thoughts by a click. He met the twin barrel of a shotgun, Philia bloodshot eyes glaring at him.

"I didn't hear no bell."

The man opened his mouth to speak but only got a mouthful of buckshot.

~ ~ ~

"I'm afraid I've lost sight of them, Lady Satsuki." Inumuta flipped through every camera signal of where the two were last seen.

"Continue searching. Things have gotten silent since that gunshot." Satsuki turned to walk away. "Let me know when you find them or Gammagori returns. Which every comes first-"

The doors to her platform were knocked open as Gammagori's body fell before the young lady.

Nonplussed, Satsuki looked to see Philia's form standing before her. She was beaten, gashes littered her, blood stained her scarf, and over all she looked liked she's been through hell.

"He..." she gasped for air. "He weighs a fuckton!" She wheezed stumbling forward. She nearly fell on her face, but she caught herself.

Slowly she limped over to where her sword was, Satsuki and her Elite Four watching as she leaned on it. With a grunt she yank the sword out of the floor, leaning on it for support.

She heard feet behind her and without hesitation she swung behind her. She stopped as her blade was pointed at Sanageyama's face, his bamboo sword just a few centimeters above her head.

"Think we'll just let you walk off after you off one of our guys?" The green haired boy sneered. Philia stared at the boy with disdain, noting how blue and pink behind were ready to throw hands.

"That's enough, Sanageyama!" Satsuki's voice rang out. The boy quickly lowered his sword and stepped back.

"Dude's still alive," Philia said, "just so y'know."

"I can see that." The girl kicked Gammagori onto his back. His face had been burnt black with soot. His face was swollen, like he had gotten a super punch to the face. But other than that, he was still breathing.

"So... I won right?" Philia hobbled over to Satsuki. "So yer gonna keep yer mouth shut about me, yea?"

Satsuki stared at the girl with a poker face before asking.

"Tell me, how did you defeat him." Philia groaned.

"How about fuck-" she quickly raised her shotgun, Satsuki's sword was at her neck,"-around and find out?"

"Maybe I will." Satsuki smirked, inching her blade closer to her neck. Philia's trigger finger was twitching, ready to pull. "But next time, make sure to reload."

After a moment of silence, Philia let out a sigh as the two girls lowered their weapons. The wanderer shook lightly as she chuckled before let out a laughter.

"Specialized shells," she snapped open her gun, two shells popping out. They were that crimson black, the threads wriggling within. She tossed them to the girl, figuring it was fine.

"I see..." Satsuki examined the shotgun shells. She placed them on a plate her butler was offering. He then presented her a stack of papers to which she took.

"These documents state that Fauche C. Philia has now paid off her debt that she owes to the IRS." She handed them to the wanderer who blinked in blankly. She took the documents and scanned through them, making sure this wasn't a cruel joke.

"Yer kidding." She double checked.

"No, I am serious."

"And I'm Philia, holy shit, who the hell pays off twelve million?!" She tripled checked the paper, making sure she didn't actually get knocked out and was dreaming. Ah, nope, her ribs were still broken.

She paused before turning to the Satsuki.

"Ya knew I'd win." She said.

"I had hopes for you." Satsuki walked passed the girl, heading out. But she quickly turned with a heel click, sword in hand and eyebrows furrowed.

"But do not think that we are allies! From now on, you will be given the same treatment as Matoi Ryuko. Every student in this school will be after your head."

Suddenly the Elite Four, sans Gammagori, we're behind Philia. She turned to see them looming over here, predatory grins and hungry eyes stared her down. Waiting for their chance to pounce.

Philia turned back to Satsuki before smiling at her underneath her scarf. She giggled giving off a warm aura.

"Man, I guess I was right. Ya really aren't that bad!" She chuckled before she began making her way out. "I look forward to facing off against ya with Ryuko, KitKat!"

Satsuki was taken back. She didn't expect the shorter girl to react like that. She had a ghost of a smile on her lips as she turned to watch the girl walk away.

She looked forward to facing off against her too.

Ryuko sprinted down the halls, Mako held above her as they searched for Philia. Everyone could hear the yelling and fighting, but after that gunshot, everything went silent. At that point, Ryuko couldn't wait any longer.

"Ryuko, calm down!" Senketsu yelled at her as the delinquent was starting to hyperventilate.

"I can't calm down! Don't tell me to calm down! I need to find Philia!" Ryuko slid around a corner. "What if she hurt or worse?! What if that Gammagori asshole messed her up real bad? Or killed her?!"

She's only had Philia for three and a half days, but she swore to god that if anything happened to her, she's slaughter everyone in this school and then herself!

"Ryuko, you better slow down or you'll run into someone!" Mako advised as she spread her arms out. It was like she was an airplane.

"I don't give a damn who I run over-" turning a corner, the punk smashed into someone, knocked the both of them over. Mako had been thrown and rolled across the ground.

"Argh! Hey! Watch where your going asshole!" A familiar voice growled. Ryuko was ready to punch whoever was in the way, but was overjoyed to see Philia.

"Philia!!" The delinquent glimpsed on the girl, squeezing the life out of her as she cried tears of joy.

"Augh! Fuck! Not like this!" Philia wheezed as she felt her broken ribs stab her organs.

"Your okay!" Ryuko quickly got herself together and set Philia down. She wiped away any tears before smacking the girl. "You had me worried!"

"I'm dead," Philia wheezed as she fell to the floor. Her face smashed into the floor, but she had no strength to get up.

"Honestly, I thought you would go to school to learn, not fight!" Philia groaned as she was in bed heavily wrapped up. Her amigos had dragged her back home to be treated by Mako's dad.

Mako's mom was berating her, but she honestly couldn't care. Ryuko had a Kamui, but she was just human. She honestly looked like a mummy.

"Ah, but I'm glad you decided to stay!" Doing a one eighty, Sukuyo pulled out a steaming pot from nowhere. "I cooked up a delicious meal so that you can recover! You must not have eaten at all if you're so short!"

Philia did hear that as she was stabbed.
