Kiryuin Ryuko. 

Kiryuin Ryuko.

Anyway, hey, there! Glad to see that y'all here again for one more chapter. Not JUST another chapter, but the first of the two specials. This one being "Episode 25", you know, where all that shit happens. And boy oh boy am I excited! So for that reason, I won't be here boring you guys with my talk or anything like that. Instead, I'll leave to do that AFTER the second Special. I'll have some final notes to talk more and etc.

Anyway, let's roll!

<<<<<< I >[---]< I >>>>>>

Honnōji Academy.
Two weeks after the final battle against Kiryuin Ragyō.

What once was the most prestigious school in all of Japan, which turned out to be the military base for Kiryuin Satsuki. The woman with black hair used the students who served there to fight against her mother, Kiryuin Ragyō. Such a glorious place, now reduced to little-more than just rubble and debris that stood scattered around. The tower in which Satsuki one day stood on top of, now broken, and tilted to the side.

The ground which now was covered by grass thanks to the weeks that went by. And amongst all of that, there was but a small area made out of dark wood. On top of them, as the other pieces from the debris and the tall walls stood scattered around. On top of this small floor stood two people, who held shinais, or bamboo blades, in different positions. There, the two of them were just about to face each other.

The not-blind-anymore swordsman with green hair had a calm expression. His eyes, although open, still revealed the scars from when they once were closed. He, a master of combat and swordsmanship, held his Shinai pointed forward. Standing shirtless, with his white-colored coat wrapped around his waist, the man tightly gripped the handle of his blade. All the while, surprisingly, his mouth was remaining shut.

As for his opponent, the woman that shared the same age as him, but had managed to beat him in battle before. She stood with her upper body gently leaning forward, as opposed to The Monkey's straight stance. And also opposing his choice of combat, the woman gripped her blade with its point aiming backwards. An Iaijutsu position, which consisted on quickly-drawing your blade before returning it to its scabbard.

Which is also the style used by a certain bull Faunus with red hair.

To the side of the two swordsmen, stood a small crowd of six people. All of them, friends of both Sanageyama Uzu and Kiryuin Satsuki. Although two of them weren't dressed in the usual clothing that most were used to seeing them in the last few months, they were still easily-recognizable. Save, for the most part, for the boy with [N/T/C] hair, who wore his long hair down, complimented by a dark-blue coat.

Besides that, and the bandana wrapped on his forehead along with the dark around his eyes, he also had a collar of teeth. They all pointed towards himself, save for one that stood beneath the two on top of it. His bare chest and black gloves matched with his black pants with bright-white boots. And along with that, he was also wearing a jacket wrapped around his waist. It was also [N/T/C]-colored like his hair and eyes.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭: 𝐘/𝐍 "𝐌𝐀𝐉𝐈𝐌𝐀" 𝐋/𝐍]

Inumuta: ["I still can't believe he's still hung up on facing Lady Satsuki"]

Gamagōri: ["It's his way of getting closure"]

Nonon: ["I swear, boys are such a pain..."]

Y/N: ["And yet~..."] Y/N leaned down with a smirk ["You girls can't live without us"]

Nonon growled, rolling her eyes and glancing away from Y/N with her eyes closed. Although her ears had caught wind of his words, Ryuko's head didn't exactly process them. Instead, her eyes remained focused on the scene displayed in front of her, the battle. The wind that blew by gently shook Satsuki's and Sanageyama's hair. There, the two of them stood, as Satsuki was still sticking with her Iaijutsu stance.

Sanageyama: ["Now that we've settled things with Ragyō..."] Sanageyama calmly spoke up ["We can see which of us is stronger without any distractions"]

Satsuki: ["Your eyes look even better now, Sanageyama"]

Sanageyama: ["Heh, come on now. Is this some sort of strategy?"] Sanageyama chuckled with his head low ["Trying to blur my vision with tears at your kind words, is it?"]

Satsuki: ["It would take more than tears to blur the vision of a man such as yourself"] Satsuki replied with a smirk of her own, while she reached to the handle of the blade ["Since we're doing this by the rules, the first strike decides the winner, correct? Ready?"]

Sanageyama: ["... MEN!"]

Sanageyama screamed after Satsuki had readied herself. His left eye was still shadowed by his dark-green hair. The man dashed forward, leaving behind a bit of a crack on the ground with a loud roar. Satsuki raised her Shinai, blocking a strike from Sanageyama that, true to his words, were aimed at her head. Though that alone caused Satsuki to narrow her eyes and raise her guard at Sanageyama's strength.

Sanageyama: ["MEN! DOU! KOTE! MEN! DOU! KOTE! MEN! DOU! KOTE!"]

One after the other, just as the drops of rain rained down against a heavy storm, Sanageyama's strikes came down upon Satsuki. The woman, although capable of guarding herself and parrying the hits, still found her arms starting to get sore already. The pressure was hard enough to prompt Satsuki to back up, still blocking the hits from Sanageyama, who kept on the offensive, not letting down for an instant.

The other 3 Members of the Elite Four had different reactions. As for Gamagōri, the man seemed surprised, evident by his slightly-wide eyes. Inumuta stood collected and studious as always, as Nonon had also gained a serious expression. Y/N chuckled, keeping his arms crossed as he shook his head from side-to-side after the pink-haired girl glanced up towards him. And so, seeing this, Gamagōri spoke up.

Gamagōri: ["Lady Satsuki...!"]

Inumuta: ["She's being forced back, hm?"]

Nonon: ["Impossible!"]

Y/N: ["Well, considering that, save for Satsuki, Sanageyama was the only one of you guys that actually forced me to a draw, it's not very surprising"] Y/N replied, still keeping his head dropped, but now with an ever-larger smirk paired with his shrug ["I mean, Sanageyma's eyes are sharper than ever. I doubt that even I at full power would have an easy time against him"]

Ryuko: ["Oi! Pull it together, Satsuki!"]

Though Sanageyama was still on the offensive, the man narrowed his right eye. He suddenly had two sides. One of them kept on the attack, screaming as it always did, and the other one was reserved and silent. The former kept on attacking, raining hell upon Satsuki as the seconds went by. The latter asked itself as to why Satsuki was being so unresponsive. Why wasn't she attacking back? Why was she backing up?

Satsuki: ["Don't hold back on my account, Sanageyama"]

Sanageyama: ["I wouldn't dream of it! Victory will be mine, Kiryuin Satsuki!"]

As Sanageyama reeled his blade back with a loud roar, it was almost like the others could see his fury turning into a green-colored fire. It went all over his Shinai, which gained a small glow towards its tip before the green-haired swordsman screamed once more. This time, he brought his blade from behind his back, over his head, all the while, with the same battlecry as before, as he aimed towards Satsuki's head.

But we are talking about Kiryuin Satsuki. 

Shaking his head from side-to-side with a small hum, Y/N raised his shoulders into a shrug. He had his eyes closed, but his hearing, although not as sharp as it used to be, was still enough for him to know the results. Shinai against Shinai, bamboo against bamboo, causing one of them to soar through the air. As it spun around many times before finally falling, and stabbing itself against the ground of wood beneath them.

Drawing her blade back before holding it to her waist again, Satsuki stepped past Sanageyama. The man stood there, leaning forward with his hands and eyes still trembling while wide, staring against his now-broken sword tip. As she walked past Sanageyama, the woman turned around. And although they stood in her vision, she still couldn't see the surprised gazes on the face of the three Elite Four members.

Satsuki: ["Fetch a new sword"]

Sanageyama: ["... No, that's alright"] He replied while standing straight again ["This match goes to you"]

Satsuki: ["... I see. It was a fine match, Sanageyama. Thank you"]

With a short bow, Satsuki turned around to walk away once again. For a moment, Sanageyama stood there, having his blade pointed down, and broken. His voice was somewhat empty, lacking any sort of emotion, be it happiness or sadness. It wasn't long before the other three reunited with the green-haired swordsman, being accompanied by the [N/T/C]-haired fox. Along with them were also Mako and Ryuko.

Mako: ["That's Lady Satsuki for you~!"] Mako excitedly spoke as she spun around ["The way she dodged that was amazing"]

Gamagōri: ["It didn't look that way to me..."]

Nonon: ["Oi, Monkey. What was that all about?"]

Sanageyama ["... I lost sight of her"]

Sanageyama sighed, as he stood up straight once more. Glancing over his shoulder, and turning around to face Satsuki, the man ran a hand through his hair. Y/N stood at his side, and following his gaze, he saw the two dark-haired sisters reunited with one another. With a calm humming, and his arms still crossed, the fox turned around to face the swordsman, who once again, had received an answer from one of his friends.

Y/N: ["Do you mean she disappeared?"] Y/N asked, leaning down near the man ["I could still hear her, so you should have been able to see her, no?"] Inquiring the question, Y/N gently tapped his chin in thought.

Sanageyama: ["No. The iron will that was inside her is now gone"] Sanageyama replied with a tired and saddened tone ["She is as ephemeral as shimmering heat weaves..."] With an exhausted gaze, the green-haired man threw his sword to the side ["I cannot bring myself to strike down someone like that"]

Y/N stood up straight once more, as Sanageyama walked past the five of them. They didn't go after the man, and simply let him stray away from the scene. That said, Nonon did glance up at Y/N, Gamagōri, and Inumuta. The first shook his head before he walked towards the other two girls. The second merely avoided making eye contact, having a clear expression of exhaustion. Inumuta was still with a cold gaze.

Though her sister once stood in her way, the same was far from the truth now. Instead, what once would cause Satsuki to stop and then attack, caused her to keep on walking. Ryuko had the hands inside the pockets of her jacket while still looking at her sister. And as Satsuki stepped past Ryuko, who remained with her gaze forward, looking at her boyfriend approaching, the long-haired woman stopped near the girl.

Ryuko: ["What was that all about?"] The girl questioned her older sister ["You okay, Satsuki?"]

Satsuki: ["With Kiryuin Ragyō defeated, Honnōji Academy's purpose is over and done with"] Satsuki replied in a low voice, still standing back-to-back with her younger sister ["As planned, I will close it down in one month's time. Elite Four, see to the cleanup"]

Out of instinct, Mako raised her hands to shield her eyes from the bright, shining light that always came from Satsuki. She was, however, surprised to see that there was nothing of the sort, and instead, lowered her arms with an expression of confusion. And so, the six of them watched as Satsuki continued to walk away. With a small sigh, Ryuko closed her eyes, leaning close to Y/N, while Mako glanced all around them.

Mako: ["Lady Satsuki didn't shine like the sun!"] Mako spoke, soon raising her leg ["She didn't clack her heel like before!"] Before bringing it down with a click like Satsuki's.

Ryuko felt an arm sneaking around her waist, and chose to lean closer to Y/N, gently laying her head against his chest. All the while, however, her eyes were fixated on her sister, showing both seriousness and worry for the woman. She also felt Y/N gently rest his chin on top of her head, which caused the girl to sigh, and with a calm gaze, snuggle up against his neck. But even then, her worries were still as clear as glass.

Ryuko: ["... Satsuki"]

Honnō Town.

A place where people either had the best life possible, or the worst life one could only imagine. On the sewers to the skies, from the gold to the dirt, and the rats to the cats. No one had time to care about any of that anymore, thanks to the sudden moving of everyone else. All around the place, on the No-Star territory, people said goodbye to each other, as they packed what little they had. It was a sudden wave of good vibes.

Be it the Mankanshoku family, which was also saying their goodbyes to people, to the vendors, who closed their doors and sales. It was a good day in that place, that for some reason, no more reeked of violence, death, and the sewage. From the old ladies that packed their bagages, to the young Matarō who said goodbye to his gang of little loot goblins, they all seemed ready to start anew. To start a life in a different place.

That wasn't the case only on the No-Star Territory, but also all around the place of Honnō Town. The spiral-shaped island that was held up by trash that composed the rich. On the One-Star Territory, people were also saying goodbye to their loved ones and their neighbors. With a much more civilized and organized manner, that unlike the No-Star Territory, had a weird charm to their more elegant and well-mannered gazes.

But while the No-Stars and the One-Stars packed their things, the Two-Star students enjoyed the others doing the work for them. As her girls packed her suitcases, Hakodate laughed while sharing a cup of coffee with Fukuroda, who had his boys packing his things. The two of them were still talking in front of the same place where they once united and met each other. The same place that shared good memories.

Y/N: ["Fuu~... Who could have guessed that my career would end so soon?"] Y/N groaned, scratching the back of his head with a sigh ["Man, taking care of an Yakuza family sure is hard work, but I'm gonna miss this place"]

The Beautiful Beast's voice caused Fukuroda and Hakodate to stop drinking, and gaze towards the boy. He stood in front of his restaurant, which had its doors closed, and a sign that simply showed: Out of business. Standing there with his hands placed on his hips, Y/N gained a smirk across his face while glancing up to the place. Hakodate and Fukuroda glanced at each other before they smiled, and shrugged.

They walked away, leaving the fox to the comfort of the silence, much to his pleasure. For a moment, he caught himself wondering just how fast these two years had passed. It was gone in a flash, and soon, two years would turn to three. It was like it all happened just last week where Ryuko and him had met. Truth is, however, that it was months and months ago that the two of them were first united with one another.

It was crazy how everything had gone in a flash.

With his gaze fixated on the place, everything, and nothing went through his mind. His breathing was soft and slow, like he was almost sleeping. His eyes, however, were wide awake, as Y/N lost himself in the memories and things he had accomplished in this place. He did so much, he saw so much, he spoke so much, he learned so much, he gained so much. And out of nowhere, all of that would be ending here and now.

It was like it all happened yesterday. The first time he was scolded by Gamagōri, the first time that Nonon set her eyes on him, the first time Sanageyama and him talked, the first time where he and Inumuta were paired together on a mission. It all seemed to have happened in the last few days, but in fact, it was almost three years since he had arrived in this city. All of that was so crazy, that he froze in place for a moment.

His face of shock and confusion turned into one of happiness as he drew a long and sharp breath, looking towards his restaurant/home. With a gaze that one could easily see as happiness and satisfaction, the fox remained lost in his mind. One day, he was but a new creation, a half-human made out of Fibers that was being told what to do by his creator. And now, he's dating that man's daughter, and leading a Yakuza family.

But all of the brainstorming was gone once he shook his head, closing his eyes for a moment. With a sigh of happiness, and a smirk spreading across his face, Y/N turned around to walk away. After all, he had so much to do, and so much to see just yet. He couldn't be lowering his head at that moment, since he had somewhere else to be now. Somewhere much more important. That "somewhere" was none other than...

[𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐧ō𝐣𝐢 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐲 - 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐲]

All the students, be them from the Elite Four, or No-Stars, stood gathered in the center of the place. The courtyard of Honnōji Academy was but a pure center for the conversation of the people that there stood, chatting amongst themselves as they continued their day-to-day talk. Of course, the hot-topic was the defeat of Kiryuin Ragyō, and the soon-to-come closing of Honnōji Academy along with Honnō Town.

But, as she watched the students talking and socializing, the black-and-red-haired girl decided to stay to the side. Gently resting her cheek against her open palm, and her elbow against her knee in a very cute manner, Ryuko calmly hummed. The sakura petals flew far from their trees that stood far away on top of the walls thanks to the gardening club. And leaning against the wall, Ryuko also had her legs crossed.

While she gently leaned back and closed her eyes, Ryuko heard of footsteps approaching. And once the boy had sat down at her side, Ryuko didn't hesitate, or waste a single second on leaning to the side, and throwing her legs to the air. Her head fell on Y/N's lap while she also kept both hands on her nape, and the eyes closed. Her smile seemed to grow once she felt his hand run through her head.

Y/N: ["From what I heard, Mako is transferring, too"] Y/N calmly said, as he gently closed his eyes ["Rinne-do High in Kanagawa Prefecture. Does it ring any bells?"]

Ryuko: ["Oh. That's the place where we're going, too-"]

Mikisugi: ["Hey, you two"]

Ryuko and Y/N took a moment to process the sudden appearance of the man with dark-blue hair. For a moment, they stood there, blinking once before they yelped. Y/N performed a back-flip back as Ryuko rapidly stood up, dashing back along with the fox. Mikisugi, still crouching, had a wide smile on his face, as he also wore his old teacher disguise, while he was also masking his voice like that of a tired old man.

Mikisugi: ["Because it's Honnōji Academy's graduation ceremony, duh"] Mikisugi replied while he stood up, dusting himself off ["World History teacher Aikuro Mikisugi was invited, too"] Mikisugi said with a smile present on his lips as he glanced at Ryuko ["So, have you gotten used to that outfit?"]

The outfit in question that Mikisugi referred to was Ryuko's throwback to her OG clothes. Wearing her black-and-white jacket with details in the arms on top of a plain-white shirt along with a red scarf around her neck. She also wore jeans, having the sleeves of her jacket pulled back to a bit before reaching her elbow. She also adorned pure-white sneakers, sporting a pair of transparent glasses tinted yellow.

[Art belongs to - Nirak1203]

Mikisugi: ["And what about you, Y/N?"]

Y/N: ["Being human feels... Weird. Though I still kept my hearing and some of my abilities, I still need to get used to things"] Y/N commented, snapping his fingers a small spark of fire came from within them, almost like lighting a lighter ["That being said, taking care of my hair has never been easier, so that's a major plus if I've ever seen one"] Gracefully, Y/N flipped his hair over his shoulder, crossing his arms with a smirk ["Why's that? Were you worried about us, Mikisugi?"]

Mikisugi: ["Hahaha. A little, I won't deny it. Afterall, it was me who introduced you both to Senketsu"] Mikisugi laughed as he calmly shoved his hands back inside of his pants' pockets ["Least I could do is worrying about my two best students after all the shit I put you both through"]

Ryuko: ["Man, give that thing a rest"] Ryuko groaned, rolling her eyes in annoyance ["It's so out of character that it hurts!"]

Mikisugi: ["But it seems that the Life-Fibers haven't fully disappeared from your's or Y/N's body yet"] Mikisugi comments as he continued to look towards the two, who glanced at each other ["That said, I don't think they ever will, seeing as you both had grown up with them"]

Y/N: ["Well, it's not like it matters, anyways. Senketsu might not be with us, but we'll always be with him"] Y/N said with a calm laugh, throwing his head back a bit as he gave a soft, and heartful laugh ["Senketsu or not, Ryuko is still Ryuko, and Y/N is still Y/N. We'll live on, as he wished we did"]

Ryuko: ["As he said~! As long as this world is bat-crap crazy, bat-crap crazy ol' us will get by"] Ryuko said after she jumped on Y/N's back, wrapping her legs around his belly and giving a peace sign ["I made a promise for Senketsu that I'd go on and wear cute outfits, so I plan on keeping that promise"] Ryuko also gave a hearty laugh, closing her eyes as she wrapped her arms around Y/N's neck.

Mikisugi: ["Well, that's good. It relieves my mind to hear that. Seems like everyone is going down their own path"] Slowly, Mikisugi turned to the side to face the other students, first came the Elite Four/Student Council ["Gamagōri's getting a job at his relatives' ironworks. Jakuzure is studying to succeed as head of the Jakuzure Corporation"]

First, the man stood in front of other chads, as he kept on barking orders while walking from side-to-side, both hands behind his back. The other men remained quiet, listening to their higher-ups. As for Nonon, she stood in front of the other music club members, who kept on pestering her. Though she denied their gifts and flowers, they still persisted, first shoving Nonon's face into their bouquet of flowers and their gifts.

Y/N: ["From what I heard, Inumuta is studying IT, and Iōri will continue his Life-Fiber research in college"] Y/N calmly glanced towards the two, who studied together at Inumuta's laptop as the members of the Sewing Club stood behind them ["Sanageyama will continue to devote himself to kendo as he helps out his parents' business"] Y/N chuckled as Sanageyama stood in front of the captains from any clubs that involved sports ["Satsuki did really plan her team's path, as well as made arrangements for the residents and students, huh?"] Catching wind of him, Hakodate waved at Y/N, who waved back at her.

Ryuko: ["It's impressive the way she plans things. That's just leave Satsuki herself, I suppose"] Ryuko said, laying her chin against Y/N's hair and gently closing her eyes for a moment ["Since Y/N, while still in charge of the Majima Family, will finish his studies alongside Mako and I"] With a sigh, Ryuko's eyes opened in an expression that could only be described as worry ["She's looking for a way to finally sheath her blade that she honed so single-mindedly all these years"]

Sorōi: ["Miss, it's time for the ceremony"]

Satsuki's butler spoke just as the woman had removed the tea cup from her lips and gently placed it against the small plate. There, at what once was her tower, now broken and leaving it with a massive hole through the wall where she faced, Satsuki sat. As always, the black-haired girl was at her oval-shaped chair, leaning back against it, keeping a leg over the other while she was calmly drinking her tea.

Satsuki: ["Go on ahead. After the ceremony, I'd like to treat the entire student body with your tea"] Satsuki calmly replied to the old man, not turning around to face him ["So, I assume that you'll need some time to prepare"] Upon the response of her butler, as he excused himself to leave, Satsuki spoke up once more ["Sorōi, thank you. You've always kept me grounded and reminded me of who I am"]

Sōroi: ["... Miss..."]

Satsuki: ["Heh. I'm fine, go on"]

Satsuki turned back to face the man as he bowed down before he turned around and started to walk out. With a calm gaze, the black-haired woman turned back on her chair, facing the massive hole left on the wall in front of her. Slowly, still keeping a leg crossed over the other, Satsuki closed her eyes. With her calm and serene gaze still present, the woman raised the cup to her lips, taking yet another sip from the drink.

Fully aware of her stalker.

Satsuki: ["... As I thought"] 

Satsuki: ["I was wondering when you'd turn up"]

Gamagōri: ["THIS IS OUR GRADUATION CEREMONY!!"]

Still far from the scene with his arms crossed, Y/N smirked as he watched the man act as himself. It brought Y/N some sense of joy, seeing the slightly-uncanny charm of Gamagōri still being the usual hulking mass of muscles, even on such a special occasion. Such as when he stomped his foot against the floor on top of a platform that stood above the crowd. With his arms crossed, the man drew a deep breath.

Gamagōri: ["First, we'll begin with opening remarks from Student Council President Kiryuin Satsuki!"] Gamagōri loudly spoke, as he remained with his stance of power ["Now, student body, all of you! Pay close attention!!!"]

Loud as always, Gamagōri loudly roared. It caused Y/N's smirk to widen, and Ryuko to giggle while covering her mouth. However, her chuckles stopped once she glanced up, noticing Y/N with a serious expression. His narrowed eyes were directed towards the other, as he watched as the sky around it gained a bright-crimson glow. Seeing this, Ryuko went wide-eyed in surprise, trying to understand what that could mean.

Y/N growled loud enough so Ryuko and Mikisugi were able to hear it, as he showed off his still-sharp fangs. Uncrossing his arms, the boy started to walk forward, already hearing, and sensing the trouble that was about to come. Ryuko was quick to follow suit, running to catch up to Y/N, who had leaped forward, side-to-side with Gamagōri. There, still in the middle of her run towards the two boys, Ryuko could see her.

Kiryuin Satsuki, wearing Kamui Junketsu.

Satsuki (?): ["Graduation?! This is absurd! What do you pings in human clothing expect to graduate from?!"] Gamagōri's mouth went agape while looked up in shock, seeing "Satsuki" speak ["As long as there is life in Kiryuin Satsuki, I will not recognize this farce as legitimate!"]

Back at the ground, everyone watched with their eyes wide in shock and confusion. Ryuko, now reunited with the other three members of the Elite Four, also asked herself the same thing as the people all around her. That said, Iōri and Inumuta were both still cold and analytical, at the mere glance they could tell that something was much more wrong then it should. And so, the green-haired boy was the first to speak.

Sanageyama: ["Oi!! What's gotten into her?! That's so sudden!"]

Ryuko: ["Did she change her mind last-minute?!"]

Nonon: ["What are you on about?! Lady Satsuki would never do such a thing!"]

Inumuta: ["Iōri, her clothes..."]

Iōri: ["Yeah. She's wearing Junketsu- What the?!"]

Just as the man was about to be done with his phrase, he stopped once more. The shock and confusion around only increased with time, as the Elite Four members appeared all around Satsuki. These replicas, however, were not only evil, evident by their cold and deadly gaze, but also their sharp smirks and dead eyes. It was like the manifestation of ghosts from the Student Council's former selves, as they appeared.

Sanageyama (?): ["Bring down Honnōji Academy?!"]

Gamagōri (?): ["The Student Council Elite Four would never let that happen!!"]

Nonon (?): ["You bunch of no-star scum~"]

Inumuta (?): ["Now, allow us to demonstrate our power"]

Y/N (?): ["I'll show you fools what a true Beast is!!"]

It was a mirror-perfect copy of the Elite Four transforming back into the S.S Naked Sun. However, all the day-like light around them was a glowing-crimson color, almost like an endless sky of blood. And so were the stars, who were black in color, enveloped by a reddish glow. And so, everyone opened their arms, welcoming the stars into their bodies as their Goku Uniforms transformed. But it was... Different.

They were not in their final form, but rather, their initial one. Sanageyama and his MK1 Blade Regalia came first, showing it off into a color of black instead of dark-green. His visor/protective gear was kept on gold, as his armor also was underlined on silver in some areas. The Shackle Regalia of Gamagōri came next, wrapped in dark cloths like a mummy of darkness. Its gag, much like Sanageyama's visor, was still painted gold.

Next up, from the infinite darkness, the giant, heart-shaped glow that exploded into, still red-colored giant stars. They were connected to each other, now glowing in pink, as the bass-equipped uniform of Nonon, the Symphony Regalia Presto appeared. But there was something weird about it. Also underlined in silver, painted in black, much like Nonon's maestro-inspired clothes, there was also Nonon's own appearance.

Instead of her white skin, it was now a literal, VERY dark-grey that made borders with black due to how dark it was. Her eyes were also different, showing the same glow, but still having the silver-glowing color that was present throughout her uniform. What caught up attention the most, however, was her sclera that, instead of white, was now green. Her hair, instead of pink, was also changed, being now blonde.

With the tapping echoing through the place, the crimson-glowing keyboards on Inumuta's thighs, forearms, and shoulders appeared with the visor. Just like before, his uniform was black, being enveloped in a dark-silver glow through some of its areas. But, just like Nonon, there was something different about him. His skin also had a dark-grey color, and his hair, instead of the usual blue, was now blonde.

Last, but never least, was Y/N.

With the roar of a thousand lions, and the glow of a hundred-more suns, the fox-like figure of fire appeared from the sea of flames that seemed to spread throughout the area. Its jaws opened, showing off a river of razor-sharp, blade-like fangs. As it moved, it chomped down against Y/N's clone, enveloping it in fire. And as the figure disappeared, what jumped from within it, was a perfect replica of fox-boy himself.

His greek-sculpture-like body that seemed to be a marble statue made by Michelangelo himself. His tails were made out of fire, much like his hair, that were golden-blonde in color. His entire skin had the same dark tone, merged into the darkest of seas of grey. His pants, still ragged and thorn, were black, and his spiked-belt glowed in a bright, dark-silver color, much like the rest of the Elite Four.

And so, the four of them leaped into action. Nonon came first, shooting through her uniform, followed by Sangeyama, who shot his red-and-black Shinais through his cannons. Seeing as he had no form to attack from that distance, Inumuta leaped through the air, opting to dash away from the place. Gamagōri used his whips, followed by Y/N, who took a deep breath before releasing a crimson wave of fire.

As most of the students were blasted, whipped, or burned away, the rest of the Student Council, Ryuko, and Y/N, raised their hands to shield their faces. Not from the attacks, but rather, from the massive winds and the overly-large blast of dust and dirt that had kicked up thanks to the combo of the Emo Elite Four. As the dust and dirt settled down along with the abrupt chaos, Ryuko stepped forward, raising her head.

Ryuko: ["Oi! Those guys have Goku Uniforms!"]

Sanageyama: ["I thought that the Life-Fibers had been lost!!"]

Nonon: ["Wait, why do they look like us?!!"]

Y/N: ["Like us" my ass! That guy has nothing like me!!"]

Gamagōri: ["Just what in the world..."]

Sanageyama / Nonon / Gamagōri / Y/N: ["IS GOING ON AROUND HERE, INUMUTA?!!"]

Inumuta: ["I would love to explain... But my computer has been hacked"]

Inumuta (Evil): ["Yes, your computer is now under the control of my Probe Regalia!"]

Sanageyama (Evil): ["Bow down before the power of my Blade Regalia!"]

As the dark-skinned, blonde version of Inumuta popped out of nowhere, the man screamed, tapping away at the keyboard on his forearm. Once the now-blonde-haired swordsman appeared, his uniform instantly started to attack. He clasped his hands together and they started to spin once the multiple, red-colored Shinais appeared from his fingers. And so, they dashed forward, hitting the original Sanageyama.

Nonon (Evil): ["Let's hear you scream, you cowards!!"]

Nonon: ["I hate that chick's cocky attitude and grating voice!!"]

As her evil version started to shoot a red-colored, laser-like bean from her Symphony Regalia, as Nonon started to run away. The attack was extremely close to her, almost reaching the pink-haired girl as she screamed. A few times, she almost fell down from tripping, but remained running. It wasn't long, however, before the attack had finally connected, exploding right behind Nonon, who was thrown away with a loud scream.

Gamagōri (Evil): ["Is that way for a No-Star to speak to a Three-Star?! I'll straighten you out! Three-Star Goku Uniform: Scourge Regalia!"]

Y/N (Evil): ["How dare a mere mouse bare his fangs at a fox?! I'll teach you how to swing to the beat!!"]

As the cloths from Gamagōri's Regalia disappeared, his countless, tentacle-like whips appeared from all around his armor. As he roared, throwing his fist upward, almost like he was delivering an uppercut to the air, they dashed forward, crashing all around the courtyard. Ryuko stumbled back after the ground started shaking, cracking, and breaking all around her. It wasn't long, however, she found her footing with a gasp.

She looked forward, seeing the Evil Y/N back-flipping through the air while moving forward, reeling his leg back. With a loud roar, he connected his hit against the original Y/N's leg, who had gone down with a flare movement, throwing his legs up. Almost like a boxer guarding his head, Y/N's legs were kept straight, shielding Ryuko not very far away from him. And due to the pressure alone, Ryuko felt the air blow.

Ryuko: ["Y/N and I will take them on!"] The girl screamed, glancing over her shoulder ["While they're busy, get everyone out of here!"]

Elite Four: ["Got it!"]

Ryuko, grasping down against the musical-note-shaped bladed weapons that Evil Nonon's Symphony Regalia had shot, roared. As she planted her right foot against the ground, reeling her right arm back, and twisting her hips, the girl spun forward, throwing the bladed weapons towards Evil Nonon. The blonde-haired girl clenched her eyes, feeling the many knife-like weapons stab all around her, but not her directly.

Nonon (Evil): ["Not too shabby, Transfer Student!!"]

Sanageyama (Evil): ["So at least your physical abilities are super-human, huh?"]

Inumuta: ["It's because of the Life-Fibers inside their bodies..."]

As Y/N threw himself away from his handstand, he landed near Ryuko, already crouched down to the floor. Far away, the Evil Sanageyama's Shinai started to spin, still clashing against one another. Inumuta, once he spoke up, appeared seemingly out of nowhere, thanks to his camouflage ability granted by his Probe Regalia. The Evil version of Y/N smirked, showing off his overly-sharp fangs and fox-like eyes.

The Evil Student Council seemed ready to battle, but they stopped once the Evil Y/N had walked forward. Almost like a mirror, the original version of the boy also walked forward, one towards the other. The good version of Y/N had calmly stepped forward with a hand inside his pocket, and his left leg slightly-raised. As for the evil one, he had both arms hanging by the side of his body, and his right left leg stretched.

But as the Student Council was about to dash...

Satsuki (Evil): ["Wait. I'll be the one to take her on..."]

Satsuki stepped forward, closing the clasps located in her shoulder/arm. Once she did so, in a flash of black-colored, red-outlined stars, the woman was enveloped by the Life-Fibers. They were wrapped around her body, tightly being kept by themselves. They snapped, showing off her now, dark-grey skin, closing all around her body. Her hair, now also blonde, erupted with her now fully-dark-green eyes.

[カムイ - 純潔]

[Art belongs to - ???]

forward, kicking up smoke, and dirt, as well as cracking the ground. Wielding her Bakuzan, which had the blade now colored in gold, she spun through the air with a roar. Once she had fully turned around to face Ryuko with her eyes narrowed in anger, the woman attacked. And there, one could only see countless flashes of gold.

Ryuko stumbled around, watching the ground all around her being cut into perfect blocks. She raised her arms, waving around the dust/dirt that kicked up and created a thick screen. Coughing up due to it getting into both her nostrils and mouth, the girl jumped away. Though not as much of a jump as Y/N usually leaped, the girl managed to get herself a pretty big distance away from the evil version of her arch-rival/sister.

Once she landed, Ryuko glanced over her shoulder, watching as Y/N flew by her, landing on the ground on all-fours before he roared and dashed forward. The boy seemed to move as fast as he did, even without transforming, thanks to his 80% Life-Fiber body. He zapped past Ryuko like a [N/T/C]-colored lightning, and after a second of silence, a massive boom of sound erupted right in front of Ryuko's face.

Raising her arms to shield her face/ears from the sonic-boom, Ryuko lifts her head once she hears the familiar sound of an engine roaring. Glancing over her shoulder before she fully turned around, the girl was met with the ever-approaching, dark-green-colored motorcycle. Along with it, however, the rider also brought a giant box that seemed to be made out of pure metal. And so, he stopped near everyone.

Tsumugu: ["Is everyone all right?!"]

For a moment, Mikisugi seemed to stand still, only staring towards the man with the red mohawk before he clicked back into reality. Tossing away his clothes, stripping himself off his pants, and literally every other gargement, he ran a hand through his hair. Now back at his Nudist Beach uniform, along with his hair being slicked back instead of puffy like the one in his disguise, the man smirked with his neon glows.

Mikisugi: ["Perfect timing, Tsumugu!"]

Tsumugu: ["Matoi, use these!"]

Ryuko: ["The Tailor's Dagger? Thanks!"]

Mikisugi: ["And we also have special weapons for you, Elite Four!"]

Tsumugu threw his weapons to the side, as they soared through the air before reaching Ryuko. The girl grasped them, first, the large dagger with three blades whose edges were bright-green in color along with many red-colored stripes through its flat side. On the other hand, she grasped the glove that had its finger made out of metal, and the circle around her wrist also a shiny, bright-green color, with a smirk.

The four cages opened, and from within it, came four vehicle-like machines, built to match the Elite Four's abilities. One of them was skull-shaped, crimson in color, and baring its teeth with heart-shaped eye sockets. The other one was a rectangle that was dark in color, almost seemingly made out of titanium, looking almost like a CPU.

The other one looked almost like a bulldozer, but instead of a giant, shovel-like part, it seemed like two blunt fangs, almost like a Praying Mantis, as it was also green in color. Last, but not least, was the biggest one, painted in yellow. It resembled a truck, large, also with tank-like wheels, and missiles on the sides, decorated with spikes.

Gamagōri: ["Uh...?!"]

Inumuta: ["You expect us..."]

Sanageyama: ["To use these?!"]

Nonon: ["No way, you perv!"]

Mikisugi: ["Heh... Behold! Elite-Four Custom DTRs!!"]

[エリートフォー カスタム 道頓堀 ロボ]
[𝐄𝐫ī𝐭𝐨𝐟ō 𝐊𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐮 𝐃ō𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐢 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐨]
[𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞-𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦-𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐃𝐓𝐑]

Mikisugi: ["We made these for the final battle against Ragyō"] Mikisugi cheerfully spoke as he introduced the DTR ["But we mothballed them due to your fierce opposition and Y/N's harsh words!!"]

Y/N (In the distance): ["A KID COULD DO BETTER!!"]

Mikisugi: ["They hurt a lot..."]

Tsumugu: ["It is a good thing I brought them from Osaka to ask the Kiryuin Conglomerate to take possession of them-"] The red-haired man spoke, as he and the Evil Gamagōri stood on a fierce clash ["Since we didn't need them anymoreeeeeeeeeeee!!!"]

As he and Evil Gamagōri were still clashing, the large, blonde-haired man parried Tsumugu's attack. Firming his foot against the ground, the mohawk-haired man dashed forward against. Evil Gamagōri, however, merely used the whips of his Regalia to attack him, sending him flying away. Not only that, but Tsumugu also crashed into his motorcycle, and as it went into flames, a giant explosion erupted.

Nonon: ["... I prayed I'd never have to get into those things"]

Inumuta: ["But it's clear that we can't fight as we are now..."]

Sanageyama: ["Desperate times call for desperate measures, huh?"]

Gamagōri: ["Life requires..."] Gamagōri threw his clothes away ["Hard decision!!"] Revealing his Nudist Uniform.

The first one to jump in and ready himself was the blonde-haired living-shield, who was followed by Nonon into her skull-like helicopter DTR. After the pink-haired musician, the green-haired swordsman came next, followed last, but not least, by the blue-haired hacker. After that, as their DTRs were ignited, and their robots started to move, they dashed forward. It wasn't long before they stood side-to-side as always.

First, the clash happened between the two Kendo swordsmen, who had hit Shinai against Shinai. After that, the two musicians fiercely fought a battle of explosions amidst the skies. The hackers, facing each other, were more in a competition of trash-talking, seeing as they merely tapped away into their respective keyboards. The Gamagōri's, however, were much more direct, as their shoulders clashed.

Not very far away, instead of shoulders of Shinais, what met each other were legs and blades. Y/N smirked, and he and his Evil version stood face-to-face, their legs raised, pushing against each other. A bit to their side, Ryuko and the Evil Satsuki's blades met each other's edges. And so, with a spin to the side, Y/N kicked his Evil version, who ducked his hit before he performed a back-flip, rapidly leaping away from him.

Y/N: ["So, not only are you transformed into a limited, and my first version, you also retreat like that? Haha! You're not even good enough to be my fake!"] Y/N smirked, tilting his head to the side while his Evil Clone stood up, showing off the same fangs as he did ["So, if you're really me, come on around and just talk, I'm not that shy or awkward type, I'm a beast! And I never miss a beat! So, do tell, who are you people, and what did you do to Satsuki?"]

Y/N (Evil): ["Hah! Isn't it obvious? She is the real Kiryuin Satsuki"] He laughed, pointing over his shoulder at the Evil Satsuki ["A broken-hearted Satsuki Kiryuin is of no value to this world anymore!']

Calmly, as she stood there, bound by many red-glowing Life-Fibers, locked with her arms above her head, Satsuki calmly opened her arms. Even if she found herself trapped and held against many red-colored tubes that were inside the Academy's main defense, the woman remained calm. As always, she had her cold expression, but this time around, it was not a serious or cold one, but one that seemed sorrowful.

Satsuki: ["You must be tired of lurking in the shadows..."] The black-haired woman calmly spoke up once her eyes opened ["Why don't you finally show me your face, Rei Hōōmaru?"]

Hōōmaru: ["... I should've known that you would figure out"]

As her gaze went from one of seriousness and somewhat anger to a more relaxed and cocky one, a smirk spreads across Hōōmaru's face. The girl chuckled, raising her head to glance up at Satsuki, still dorning her aviator glasses. This time around, however, she wasn't wearing her white-colored business suit, but something else. This time she wore a pair of hunter-like clothes, with a knife strapped to her shoulder.

Satsuki: ["No one but you could've done something like this"]

Hōōmaru: ["Exactly! Only I have taken up Lady Ragyō's cause!!"]

Satsuki: ["You should just let it go. It's far too late to do anything. I'd say you probably scraped together every last Life-Fiber left at REVOCS..."] Satsuki, still calm/sad, replied, not shifting her gaze away from Hōōmaru, as the dark-skinned girl's smirk disappeared ["But with the Original Life-Fiber gone, the Cocoon-Sphere-Genesis plan can no longer occur"]

Hōōmaru: ["... Is that why you let me escape? Why didn't you finish me off that day?"] Satsuki remained motionless, remembering when Hōōmaru flew away from Ragyō ["Did you think that my life was worth taking?! Is that it, Kiryuin Satsuki?!!"] With her eyes trembling in anger, she snapped.

Satsuki: ["No life deserves to be taken. Only Y/N would think something like what you're thinking"] Still with her same sorrowful semblance, Satsuki spoke, remembering when she bowed down to Ryuko at the Naked Sun ["I learned that lesson in that battle. I hoped that you could live your life free of Ragyō's curse. That was my thinking, nothing more"]

Hōōmaru: ["That's rich, coming from the person who destroyed Lady Ragyō!"] Hōōmaru stepped forward, spatting with anger ["And even aligned themselves with someone who destroyed Nui-"]

Satsuki: ["If you are accusing me of a crime, I will atone with my life"]

Hōōmaru: ["Is that... Why you allowed yourself to be captured by me?!"]

Satsuki: ["That is one way to sheathe one's blade, is it not...?"]

Hōōmaru: ["Don't get so full of yourself, Kiryuin Satsuki!"] From surprised to angered, she loudly roared ["As if a life little insignificant as yours could ever make up for Lady Ragyō's will!"] Still unshakable as she ever was, Satsuki remained with her lips tightly shut ["This world is full of discrimination! The weak trample over the weak! That is the truth of the foolish human race!"]

Around the chaos, laid dead bodies.

Clearly poor, something easy to notice thanks to the rags that they wore, paired with their shirtless bodies. Two of them were around the young girl that stood crouched, hugging her knees close to her chest, hidden away behind a piece of rubble. The corpses around them laid on a puddle of their own blood that came from the bullet holes present on their heads and bodies, having the ever-flowing crimson from it.

As they marched one after the other, the squad of soldiers rapidly shot down anything and anyone in their path. One of them, however, didn't follow his allies, but instead, turned away to look at the dark-skinned girl hiding behind the pile of rubble. Upon merely setting his sights on the defenseless child, the man grasped his rifle, putting his index finger against the trigger, and shoving the barrel against the child's head.

But before he could pull the trigger, a rainbow light stopped him. Right before he could shoot the kid that had clenched her eyes shut, also digging her nails against her knees. And as he head fell to the ground, and blood erupted from his decapitated neck like a fountain, the girl glanced to the side. There, she saw the view of a young man wearing baggy pants with a blouse wrapped around her waist, and a sports bra.

But her most prominent feature was her rainbow hair.

Ragyō: ["The residents of this village had high Life-Fiber Tolerance..."] With clear annoyance in her voice, the woman spoke ["This silly civil war of yours has cost me more precious experiment data..."] And in a flash of many lights, all soldiers fell dead to the ground. And with a calm hum, she threw a nail towards the kid. 

[A/N - It's hard to view in this shot, but you can see that her hair is styled like Ryuko's]

Ragyō: ["Oh, that's an excellent reading~..."]

Ragyō smirked once the girl gasped, glancing at the nail that was thrown at her forehead. There, it started to glow, almost like you'd see a thermometer in an old cartoon turn red, this one, turned rainbow. Not long after, Ragyō stood in front of a row of butlers near a helicopter, who bowed down to her. Inside the helicopter, Sōichirō stood with his arms crossed, seemingly glaring towards his wife.

Ragyō: ["You must be another child who was chosen by the Life-Fibers. From now on, come live with me"] Ragyō smirked, and as she slowly reached up, she grasped her aviator shades ["Cast off this land and your old name. Rei. Hōōmaru Rei... That shall be your new name"]

Seemingly out of nowhere, an extremely-bright light shone throughout all of Honnōji Academy. It was enough so that the entire area of the courtyard was covered in its angelical glow. However, what was strange is that, amidst the rubble and all the dirt being kicked up, the walls of the school started to move. They went up, almost like a shield being raised to protect, or in this case, a malicious intent, used like a weapon.

Soroi: ["Shirō, is that-"]

Shirō: ["Yes, the DEFCON System! We made it in preparation for the Original Life-Fiber, but..."] The blonde boy and his uncle, who stood in the middle of the courtyard, nervously glanced around ["We could never use it because the Academy was taken by Ragyō. Why in the world is it starting up now?!"]

Hōōmaru: ["As expected from the Kiryuin Satsuki! I'm going to use that power to the fullest!"] Hōōmaru laughed, as she grasped the handles inside of Honnōji Academy ["Your abilities as a Life-Fiber activation element are a cut above the rest!"]

Satsuki: ["But if I die, it won't help..."]

Satsuki, now with her signature cold gaze, glared down towards Hōōmaru while still tied up to the reaction inside the tower. Glaring up towards Satsuki, turning to glance over her shoulder, Hōōmaru smirked inside the little room she was in. Having a total of four screens all around her besides the handle, all the room was the window that encircled the girl completely. And yet, with an ever colder tone, the girl spoke.

Hōōmaru: ["Bite your tongue off, it won't work"] She merely, coldely replied ["I've procured a backup source"]

And as the lights turned on...

Mako: ["I'm sorry, Lady Satsuki! I was lured in by some cheese and got caught in a trap!"]

Satsuki, still with the signature cold gaze expression on her face, glared down at Mako at her side. The girl was tied up upside-down, needing to clench her skirt between her knees, weirdly like when she was captured by Fukuroda lal those months ago. Both her and Satsuki were tied up by the Life-Fibers, causing the black-haired woman's glare to intensify and become even more cold than it already was.

Hōōmaru: ["For some reason this girl also has high-activation element potential"] Hōōmaru comments, as she went back to focusing on her work ["Will you kill yourself, and abandon this girl to fend off all by herself?"]

Satsuki: ["You..."]

Hōōmaru: ["You may think that you have saved the world, but that won't happen"] With a loud laugh, the girl narrowed her eyes ["This time, you'll destroy it! Take the powerless in your hands-"]

Y/N: ["And crush them!" That's basically what she said"]

Y/N, who glanced up towards the gigantic hand of the Honnōji Academy DEFCON that was raised to the sky. Everyone along with him also glared up towards it, and for a moment, they were all quiet as it moved up, clutching its fist. For a second, everything seemed quiet before Ryuko slowly glanced up towards Y/N, who looked as calm as always. All the while, he was slurping a CapriSun with a collected gaze.

Ryuko: ["How the hell could you know all of that?!"]

Y/N: ["Woman, did you forget that I can hear people's thoughts? What did you think this is? A Wattpad fanfic that I would forget my powers?"] Y/N asked, raising an eyebrow, still slurping his CapriSun ["Hearing what that crazy woman had to say was a piece of cake. Must admit, quite disappointed. That's a shitty reason to do any of this"] Y/N sighed, crushing the package of juice in his hand and tossing it over his shoulder ["Man, that woman has some problems. Turning any of this shit into a discrimination thing. The fuck is this, Twitter?!"]

Ryuko: ["Wait, wait, wait! If you're still at your peak, why didn't you finish the fight already?!"]

Y/N: ["This might be the only place where you want me to finish quickly-"]

Ryuko: ["Don't come with your snarky remarks now!"] Ryuko screamed, pointing her index up at Y/N ["Why don't you just go out there and kick their ass already?!"]

Y/N: ["Ryuko, don't you know? It's never fun if I finish early, is it?"]

Ryuko: ["You... Really are a fucking idiot"] Ryuko sighed, dropping her head ["Lucky you that you're hot..."]

Y/N: ["Fuck that, I'm just built differently. Literally-"]

Nonon: ["This robot is too hard to use!!"]

Sanageyama: ["Enough of this!"]

As Y/N was interrupted by Nonon flying near him, along with Sanageyama, he stopped talking. Once he glanced towards the two, he saw them leaping away from their respective DTRs, landing on the floor. Sanageyama's Robot opened, and a handle came from within. Once he grasped it, the boy removed a three-bladed katana, along with Nonon taking a pink-edged dagger whose blades had the shape of musical notes.

Sanageyama: ["It's much easier to do things this way!"]

Mikisugi: ["No!! Don't let your DTRs go to waste-!!"]

Inumuta: ["Excuse me"]

The boy suddenly spoke, interrupting Mikisugi as he glanced down towards his cellphone-shaped computer with a hum. Gamagōri stood to the side, calmly watching as Inumuta continued tapping away. The blue-haired boy had many wires attached to the robots, and as Gamagōri continued to observe with a hand on his chin, Mikisugi gasped. Automatically, the DTRs started attacking the Evil Gamagōri by themselves.

Inumuta: ["Good, they move"]

Gamagōri: ["Ah, they can be used unmanned"]

Mikisugi: ["I forbid it! There's no beauty in that!!"]

Tsumugu (In the distance): ["This whole time you thought any of that was beautiful?!!"]

Far away from the scene, Ryuko and the Evil Satsuki clashed. The two of their blades were meeting each other's edge over and over again. The fake Bakuzan was moving back and forth, cutting through the air as it kept on clashing against the Tailor's-Dagger. Ryuko and Satsuki both roared while dashing forward. Ryuko, however, was without Senketsu, meaning that she was much weaker than usual.

And so, Satsuki had no problems in punching her square-up the head, sending the girl face-first against the dirt. As she was still down, the now blonde-haired dictator reeled her leg back, kicking Ryuko away. The black-haired girl soared through the dirt, leaving behind a path of dust and destruction before she came to a stop upon hitting back-first against the walls of Honnōji Academy. And all she did was spit some blood.

As the girl grasped her Tailor's Dagger again, as she roared, dashing towards Satsuki once again. The Evil fake version of Satsuki roared back, just as fiercely, as she also dashed forward. However, much to her and Ryuko's surprise, both Y/N clashed right in-between them. And with a roar, the two of them went into a hand-stand, spinning around themselves while exchanging kicks in the same position with the same speed.

[Anime - One Piece: Alabasta Arc]

Y/N: ["Defeating you fakes, even without my Uniform, will be a walk in the park!"]

Hōōmaru: ["They are not fakes!"] She spoke through the comms ["They are your past selves!"] As Nonon kept on deflecting her Evil self's shots.

Nonon: ["That voice... Hōōmaru?!"]

Hōōmaru (Though Comms): ["Indeed! It may be a fact that you stood at the pinnacle of the Student Council, and ruled the academy through fear!"] Inside Honnōji Academy sat many One-Star students, who wore a helmet connected to a Life-Fiber, that was attached to the room's ceiling ["I used the Life-Fibers to give form to the memories of the fear you imprinted in the No-Star Students! That is what the Satsuki and the Elite Four down there are!"]

As he groaned in pain, Sanageyama flew through the dirt, first crashing against it face-first before rolling like a wheel. All around him, the red-colored Shinais from his Evil Clone were shot, sending him even further away. Thanks to an explosion, Gamagōri, Nonon, and Inumuta were sent flying away while the Evil Gamagōri easily broke Sanageyama's DTR, hitting it against his knee before he ripped it in half.

The Evil Nonon clashed her Symphony Regalia against Nonon's skull-shaped DTR. The explosion was big enough to create a giant smoke and dirt screen. Once it disappeared, however, the Elite Four, who stood defeated on the ground, watched as their Evil Clones approached. All throughout the area, the Evil Elite Four members marched towards them, being led by none other than the Evil Satsuki herself.

Hvōmaru (Through Comms): ["It is a fact that you grew arrogant and oppressed others through force", claiming all the while that it was in the name of fighting Lady Ragyō!"] Still talking through the comms, the dark-skinned woman laughed, as she remained controlling the Evil Elite Four ["What is down there, leveling their weapons at you, are past selves! Fools of the Elite Four... Let your own past sins pass judgement on you!"]

And so, the two gigantic arms of the Honnōji Academy DEFCON started to move, dashing towards the Elite Four. They clenched their eyes shut, save for Gamagōri, who rapidly stood up, dashing and standing in front of his three comrades. He firmed both feet against the floor, roaring as his eyes sharpened, and arms were spread. He kept an unmoving, ferocious and fearless gaze mixed in both determination and fury.

But he was surprised once the arms stopped.

Instead of moving forward, the hands seemed to clench, almost wanting to form a fist, but they couldn't. And they stopped their offensive, and instead, started being reeled back, and thrown up. Much to everyone's surprises, once the dark skies parted to reveal a bright and shiny light, the arms of the Honnōji Academy DEFCON formed into a very recognizable shape. One that made everyone, save for Y/N, very surprised.

[𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐋𝐔𝐉𝐀𝐇]

Mako (through the Comms): ["That's not true!!"]

Ryuko: ["It's... Mako!"] Ryuko exclaimed with a smile ["Mako's in there!"]

Y/N: ["I told you, didn't I?"]

Inumuta: ["I'm detecting two power bio-energy sources in the powerplant room!"]

Nonon: ["It's Lady Satsuki and the Underachiever!"] With surprise, Nonon spoke up ["They are both powering the DEFCON!"]

Mako:(through the Comms): ["I learned this, too! The Ryuko and the Y/N outside my head were even more amazing then the ones inside my head! "] As Mako waved her hands around, both Hōōmaru, Tsumugu, Mikisugi, and the Elite Four looked up in surprise and confusion. Y/N and Ryuko however, merely sighed with a small smile ["So I'm sure that it's the same with the Elite Four! Their present selves are way, way better than their past selves!"]

For a small second, silence reigned again.

The expressions of the Elite Four were frozen solid into their cold gazes. Glares that almost seemed as if they were back at their old selves. A mere instant later, however, their lips parted from cold to warm, as the smirks formed on their faces. At the same time, the Evil Nonon attacked, flying up with her Symphony Regalia before she shot down her flute-shaped missiles. Standing there, the original Nonon's smirk widened.

Nonon: ["Surprisingly enough..."] Nonon chuckled, closing her eyes and gently waving her arms around ["The Underachiever sometimes says things that make sense!"]

As Nonon clenched her fists that stood near her face, a black-colored circle appeared around her. Almost like a bubble, the same thing that Ryuko used against her in their battle. With a smile on her face, Nonon watched as the Symphony Regalia of her Evil Clone turned into nothing but a giant ball of fire. And so, it wasn't long before it exploded, and all around her, the girl watched as instruments rained from the skies.

Gamagōri: ["Wise as ever, Mankanshoku! I'll do as you say..."] Loudly, Gamagōri roared before he jumped forward ["And make a clean break from my old self!"]

Gamagōri loudly screamed as he soared through the skies. Watching this, his evil clone shot forward his many tentacle-like whips. Gamagōri, however, spun through the air, avoiding the hits, as he reached down, pulling an ax from his Uniform's pocket. This ax, much like the other weapons, had three edges instead of a single one. They also matched Gamagōri, by being orange instead of black in their color.

As Gamagōri landed, the entire area around him broke into many pieces, forming an irregular terrain. Thanks to the weight of his uniform, the Evil Gamagōri lost his footing, and stumbled forward. With a loud scream, Gamagōri reeled his fist back before punching against his Clone's guts, and there, he grasped the Nexus Thread. And without wasting a second, he pulled it to the floor before cutting it with his ax.

Inumuta: ["No one knows my weak spots better than I do..."]

As Inumuta's Evil Clone was rapidly tapping against his keyboards, and much like the original, doing weird poses at the same time, the blue-haired boy appeared behind him. Not wasting a single second, he reached forward, tapping his index finger against an On/Off symbol that was placed against the Clone's nape. Slowly, the red that was glowing through the dark of the uniform disappeared while the Clone fell.

And as he stood on his knees, Inumuta didn't waste time before he reached back, going down and shoving his hand inside his uniform. From there, the boy pulled what seemed like a pan, except rectangular, having a hilt like you'd expect a bladed weapon to have. Calmly, he reeled it back before smashing its "edges" against the back of his Clone's head, causing the Clone to explode into a bunch of Life-Fibers.

Sanageyama: ["This me is the one blessed with other Tengantsu and Shingantsu!"] The boy stood firm, deflecting his Clone's shots ["You think that your Blade Regalia is a match for someone such as me?!"]

Sanageyama (Evil): ["Men! Dou! Kote! Men! Dou! Kote! Men! Dou! Kote!"]

Sanageyama: ["Oh, shut up!!"]

All around Sanageyama, red-colored Shinais with black handles stood stabbed against the ground as if he was in a discount version of Unlimited Blade Works. Firming his foot against the ground, the boy kept on deflecting the blades that his clone kept shooting against him, causing them to break, or fly away. As he didn't get a response, the boy decided to go on the offensive, and rapidly rushed with a roar.

And so, the green-haired swordsman roared as he reeled his blade back, and over his head. The katana-like weapon that had three green-colored edges soared through the air, as it moved towards his Evil Clone. And so, once he brought it down with a clean cut, he watched with a smirk as his Evil self was cut in half, showing nothing but Life-Fibers inside of it. And so, right after that, it caused a medium-sized explosion.

Ryuko: ["You know, it's a kid sister's job to keep her big sister's head from getting too big!"]

Ryuko roared as she and the Evil Satsuki dashed towards each other with their respective blades ready. What she wasn't expecting however, was for Ryuko's Tailor's Dagger to be as effective as it was. Instead of their edges clashing, what happened is that Evil Satsuki's Fake Bakuzan's blade slid through the Dagger's three edges. Surprised, she was as Ryuko slid her dagger forward, clashing the hilt of their blades.

With a smirk on her face, Ryuko reeled her hand before she threw it forward with her fingers stretched. She watched as her nails and fingers pierced her Sister's Clone flesh, and there, she clenched her hands. Grasping the Life-Fibers that were inside of the Clone's body, Ryuko ripped them off before she front-flipped. And as she landed with a crouch, right behind her, the clone exploded once the Life-Fibers had died.

Y/N: ["Hey now, pal~!"]

The Evil clone of Y/N stopped dead in his tracks once the original Y/N had appeared in front of him. With a back-flip, he crashed knee-first against his Clone's jaw, throwing him back. The clone had enough time to recover mid-air, landing with a crouch, as the original Y/N landed near Ryuko. The girl stood up with a smirk on her face as her boyfriend calmly remained still with his hands inside his pockets with a chuckle.

Y/N: ["Can't have you hurting my girl now, right? That'd break my heart~..."]

Y/N (Evil): ["The heart was made to be broken. That's why God sends sorrow into the world"] The Evil Clone replied, wiping away some golden-colored blood from his lips ["Phrase by Oscar Wilde. Perhaps you'd need to read a bit more..."]

Y/N: ["Hey! If you want to be a Y/N who's into philosophy, you're in the wrong book, pal. This is Claws & Scissors, not Saint's Lion. And! I prefer Zakk Wylde, thank you very much"] Y/N replied with a laugh, keeping his hands in his waist as he threw his head back, laughing away, much to his Evil Clone's annoyance. And so, the boy's smirk dropped ["Now, since you like talking so much, why don't we let our legs do the talking, hey buddy? Come on, I'm gonna fly now... Can you keep up?"]

With a smirk on his face, Y/N's slit eyes glowed, and for a moment, so did his hair. Ryuko's hair was gently blown away after he had suddenly disappeared, leaving behind nothing but a small cloud of dust. The Evil Clone stood still, gripping his fists tightly-shut as he slowly glanced around. For a moment, his eyes dropped on Ryuko, who stood there with a victorious and smug smirk on her face. After All, she knew.

Her boyfriend would end this here and now.

The fox was about to rush at the girl, seeing as nothing had happened yet. However, he stopped once he noticed that his head had been struck. Before his brain could even process what just happened, or even the pain, he was hit again, and then again. Ryuko saw, as if multiple clones of her boyfriend had flashed all around his fake, kicking him. And so, they all vanished, and the real Y/N appeared in front of her.

Seeing Ryuko's smile, Y/N himself smiled. Behind him, his clone fell to the ground before it exploded into a bunch of Life-Fibers that quickly died down. Not wasting a second, Ryuko stood on her tip-toes, lacing Y/N's neck with her arms before she brought him down. And so, their lips touched, and their eyes closed for a moment, the two of them shared a quick, yet passionate kiss. The kiss stopped, unlike the smiles.

As she watched from her safe spot, Hōōmaru gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes. As they were tightly-shut, they suddenly snapped open with the woman raising her fist before bringing it down. As Y/N and Ryuko stood side-by-side, they watched as the ground around them started to shake like a violent earthquake was suddenly occurring. And as the ground started to crack, Y/N knew he had to act, and now.

Evident by the sudden thrusters igniting, and pushing it up, the DEFCON system of Honnōji Academy was far from over. Its arms may be still wavy, and tentacle-like, almost like two gigantic, white-and-blue noodles, but that was far from over. Because as its walls on the main gate reunited, opening themselves once more, Hōōmaru smirked. Much to everyone's shock, acting like a body, the school of Honnōji stood.

Hōōmaru: ["Stop this futile resistance! Without your Kamui, you can't defeat me!!"]

As the arms of Honnōji Academy moved up, their fists clenched, and out of nowhere, the arms seemed to multiply. Almost like a trick of magic, two more arms appeared out of nowhere, exploding into existence. With a scream, Hōōmaru used them all to punch the ground in a line, and each punch that connected, everything around cracked. But with the final one, the city of Honnō had suddenly split open into pieces.

Y/N stood far away from Ryuko, on the complete opposite side of the gigantic open ground that stood between them. As Ryuko had her Tailor's Dagger stabbed against the wall, it was the only thing she had to hold herself up. Far away, Y/N stood against the wall with both hands and legs, on all fours like an animal. Made out of fire, [N/T/C] claws sprouted from his fingers, stabbing themselves against the wall to hold him.

Ryuko: ["Like hell we can't- What the?!"]

Ryuko's eyes snapped open, as the rubble caused by all the destruction of the area around her, which was almost like a mere mountain of chaos now, started to fall. She couldn't protect herself against it, and the large pieces of dirt, dust, and concrete hit her. With a loud scream, Ryuko started to fall down into a dark abyss created by the DEFCON System. Seeing this, Y/N's eyes had shot open along with his mouth.

Y/N / Mako: ["Ryuko!"]

Gamagōri / Sanageyama / Inumuta: ["Matoi!!"]

Nonon: ["Transfer Student!!!"]

Mikisugi: ["Ryuko!"]

Satsuki: ["... Tsc!"] She clenched her eyes shut ["Ryuko..."]

Y/N clicked his tongue in annoyance before he leaped from the wall, down towards the abyss that Ryuko fell in. His jump alone caused the entire wall to shatter, and a massive ring of fire appeared from where he was. Everyone raised their hands to shield their eyes from the dust kicked up by the air and the massive boom that had erupted from Y/N's jump. A wind that, even so far away, managed to move their hair.

As Ryuko had shut her eyes, she suddenly felt herself come into a warm embrace. With her eyes opening once more, she found Y/N's arms wrapped around her, and her head gently resting against his chest, as he held him there. For a moment, as the two of them continued to fall towards the endless darkness, Ryuko smiled. Gently, she snuggled closer to him, closing her eyes with a tired sigh before she spoke up.

Ryuko: ["I can't afford to lose now, can I...?"]

Y/N: ["Nope. That's not like you, at all"]

Ryuko: ["I can let more blood be spilled over nothing, can I?"]

Y/N: ["Hell no, woman. Too many people already died cause of the MILF"]

Ryuko: ["If I did, I wouldn't be able to look at you or Senketsu in the eye anymore..."]

Y/N: ["Well, then in that case, why you ask him for some more help one last time, hmm~?"]

Far, far, far, far away, something happened. So far up, in fact, that it reached the stars themselves. Much like Y/N and Ryuko themselves, the stars were lost, alone in the vast nothingness of space. And there, a red-colored glow seemed to come out of nowhere, and spin around multiple times before it shot down like a shooting star. Surprised by what they saw, everyone at the surface had their eyes open in shock.

Due to the speed of this object, it suddenly caught on fire as it moved towards Earth. And once it had reached the endless abyss in which Y/N and Ryuko were in, it caused a massive, red-and-orange glow. With her eyes shooting open, Ryuko saw the object falling along with her and Y/N, and as Y/N opened his arms, Ryuko gently reached forward towards it. Her face went from surprise to sudden happiness and excitement.

With a smirk on her face, Ryuko received a nod from Y/N, which prompted her to spin her newly-regained Scissor-Blades around her hands. And as she stuck them against the wall near her with a loud scream, Ryuko slowly came to a stop. Not only that, but she also started to run up the wall not long after shoving her blades in there. With a loud scream, the girl continued to zoom upwards, moving through any rubble.

Ryuko: ["True, you have to move out on from Sailors uniforms eventually!"] Ryuko screamed, as she continued to run ["But those days you spent in that sailor uniform don't just vanish! To make that happen, I'll give those people who are a prisoner to the past..."] Tightly, she clenched her blade, as her eyes sharpened as if she was a predator eyeing its prey up and down ["A clean cut from it! I'll make them move on!! Isn't that right, Senketsu?!!!"] 

[A/N - I would have loved to write what is going on but I can't understand shit]
[I know that it's awesome, and Ryuko is my Top 1 Tomboy]

As he stood far away, keeping his hands shoved inside the pockets of his pants, slowly, Y/N smiled. With a gentle gaze, he closed his eyes, lowering his head as he too, heard the Kamui's voice. Ryuko stood right in front of it. Almost like a projection, or a ghost, it turned around before vanishing once it was close to the girl. Still with her blade pointed forward, Ryuko suddenly opened her eyes with a thunderous roar.

Ryuko: ["I hear what you're saying... I get it loud and clear!"]

Ryuko raised her Scissor-Blades before her arms had suddenly spread. At that exact moment, Y/N had vanished, leaving but a cracked ground behind. As if he was a surfer in its zone, he rode the arms of the DEFCON like he was riding the waves of the sea. With a smirk on his face, he approached closer and closer to Ryuko, running against the arms, as he shot forward, past the girl, leaving a sonic boom behind.

With an angry growling, Hōōmaru made the arms of the DEFCON System reach down, and grasped the S.S Naked Sun that was still stabbed against the ground. With a scream, she stabbed it forward towards Y/N, who saw the gigantic, blade-like ship moving towards him. With a mere laugh, the boy's hair started to glow a bright [N/T/C], just like his eyes, as fangs and claws of the same color suddenly sprouted.

With a loud scream, Y/N spun his body around, kicking up against the ship, causing its point to aim up once his attack had landed. For a moment, as he closed his eyes, Y/N took a deep breath, and when they were open, one could see how feral they looked. Like a hungry tiger, Y/N pounced forward, and past the blade, leaving behind a thin line of [T/C] as he had shot right through the ship. And, it was now all quiet.

Until the ship was suddenly cut in half.

With a loud scream, Ryuko also seemed to get the message. She pointed her blade forward, and as it opened up, it started to grow, grow, and grow. It wasn't long before a blade that seemed to be at least twice the size of the Naked Sun itself appeared. It was aimed up, and connected by an extremely-thin line that Ryuko held up. And with her roar still going, the other Scissor-Blade of Ryuko suddenly had grown along.

Everyone glanced upwards to see the red-colored edge of the blade shooting past then, and piercing the skies and the clouds. Both of the blades were so large, that they not only were much bigger than the Naked Sun itself, but almost as large as the DEFCON System. And yet, Y/N smirked, shaking his head from side-to-side before he once more disappeared in the blink of an eye, only to appear on top of Ryuko's...

[𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐳ā𝐛𝐮𝐫ē𝐝𝐨 𝐝ō𝐬ō𝐤𝐚𝐢 𝐦ō𝐝𝐨]
[𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐧𝐢 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞]

As he stood at the tip of it, the two blades circled around the DEFCON System. In fact, the entire school is in the middle of both Scissors, almost like a paper ready to be cut. There, on the very tip of the right edge, Y/N was crouching, resting both hands on top of his knees, as a smirk spread across his face. As the two gigantic blades stood in place, ready to act and cut down the DEFCON, Ryuko took a deep, deep breath.

Ryuko: ["CAN YOU HEAR ME, HŌŌMARU?! DON'T DRAG THE PAST WITH YOU FOREVER!!"] Ryuko screamed, as the smirk on Y/N's face only widened as he gently stood up ["Kiryuin Ragyō is gone. This is yours, Honnōji Academy's, and our-"]

[𝐅𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭: 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥]

As Ryuko started to fall, and as the buildings, along with Honnōji Academy, or what became of it, continued to explode, Y/N smirked. He merely dropped himself to the side, getting into a free-fall with his arms spread open and a large, content smile. Ryuko soon found herself, once more, embraced, as Y/N had wrapped his arms around her. And once he landed, he looked down at the girl, sharing a warm smile.

And as the Life-Fibers from the defeated members of the Elite Four waved through the air, the familiar scene of them being absorbed by Ryuko had returned. This time around, however, Senketsu wasn't the one to glow, but instead, the red part of Ryuko's hair. Slowly, Y/N had set her down and Ryuko spun her Scissor-Blades around her fingers. And so, the two of them glanced towards Honnōji Academy.

[𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐧ō𝐣𝐢 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐲 - 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐲𝐮𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫]

Satsuki: ["Are you all right, Mankanshoku?!"]

Mako: ["Yep~!"]

Mako, being Mako, was still tied up in the many Life-Fibers, as Satsuki stood clenching on her side, gently trying to pry her away from there. Before the woman could do so, however, a white-haired boot had set its foot against the ground. With her gaze as calm as always, Satsuki used her nail to rip away the Life-Fibers before she stood up. There, she glared against Hōōmaru Rei, who held up a machete.

Hōōmaru: ["Graduate from Lady Ragyō...? The beauty of a nonsensical world? That's an absurd! Absurd! Absurd!"] Hōōmaru gritted her teeth and her fist around the bladed weapon ["It's an empty dream of someone who has everything! I'll teach you what it feels like to have nothing!!"]

Hōōmaru roared as she dashed forward, still tightly-clutching her blade as Mako watched the Machete soaring towards Satsuki. The woman, however, merely tilted her head down, avoiding the strike that instead, had cut some of her hair off. With her gaze still collected, and her eyes closed, Satsuki began to speak. Not before, however, one could see the slightly-deep cut against her skin along with her blood.

Satsuki: ["I have no idea what sorts of hell you have seem in your life..."]

Satsuki: ["But it's because I don't know that you are just as necessary for this world"] As Hōōmaru gasped, and Y/N smirked, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall, the woman continued ["In my own small way, I will build a world where all those who make no sense can live. To do that, I need your help"] As usual for Satsuki Kiryuin, a very bright light appeared around her as she stood up to face Hōōmaru ["If you ever find my actions objectionable, kill me in my sleep without hesitation. I will gladly forfeit my life to you..."] And as she stood there, Hōōmaru's shades began to crack, and clear.

Hōōmaru: ["What kind of crazy nonsense is that that you're spilling...?"]

Satsuki: ["Heh. Crazy nonsense... That's how we roll"]

As Hōōmaru's blade fell to the ground, the black-and-red-haired girl smiled. Her head gently laying against her boyfriend's chest, and one of his arms snaked around his waist, the two's smirk seemed to widen. With a somewhat-tired sigh thanks to the battle that occurred not long ago, Ryuko closed her eyes. Gently snuggling closer to Y/N, and her smile widening, the young girl soon re-opened her eyes, and spoke up.

Ryuko: ["Looks like you sheathed your blade just fine, sis..."]

There, with her calm smiles, Ryuko and Y/N stood. Satsuki turned around, looking over her shoulder towards both before she fully turned to face them. Her serious gaze earned herself the same thing from both her sister and the fox. However, Ryuko's lips were quick to part into a wide smile along with Y/N's, and that alone, made Satsuki herself also smile. And slowly, the three of them seemed to glance towards Hōōmaru.

[𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐧ō 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧 - 𝐄𝐱𝐢𝐭 𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞]

Sanageyama: ["Hurry, everyone!"]

Gamagōri: ["The escape boats are this way!!"]

As the city of Honnō continued sinking, its residents began to escape. This time around, unlike some would expect, there were no favorites among the queue. Both Two-Stars, One-Stars, and No-Stars walked together side-by-side. Sanageyama and Gamagōri instructed everyone on where to go, screaming and waving their hands. Far away, however, Ryuko, Y/N, and Satsuki walked side-by-side along the large queue.

Nonon: ["We've been waiting for you, Lady Satsuki- eh?"]

Satsuki: ["Bring her along, too"]

Nonon stopped talking once she spotted Hōōmaru walking alongside the other three. Her gaze instantly dropped when meeting the pink-haired woman, who kept a serious/saddened expression. Nonon, however, didn't have time to question any of it, as Satsuki began to talk. At this, the rest of the Elite Four, along with Iōri glanced at each other for a moment before they faced the others with a serious expression.

Student Council: ["Yes, ma'am!"]

Barazō: ["Oh!"] He exclaimed ["Y/N, Ryuko, Mako!"] Once he came to a stop near them.

Mako: ["Dad!"]

Sukuyu: ["Hop in!"] She rushed them, inside their truck ["Hop in!"]

Matarō: ["This town's gonna sink on us!"]

Ryuko: ["Sure thing!"] She happily exclaimed back ["I'll see you, Sis"]

Satsuki: ["Sure. Take care, sis..."]

As Ryuko boarded Barazō's car, Mako was quick to follow them. For some reason that Y/N chose not to question, they were, quite literally, carrying their entire house on the trunk. As the two girls went aboard the vehicle, Y/N stood behind, taking in a deep, deep sigh before exhaling it. He turned around to face everyone with a smile, and was greeted with the same thing. That is, as he expected, save for Nonon, of course.

Instead, the pink-haired girl dashed forward and gripped Y/N into a short hug. Though she was not only on her tip-toes, but also wearing boots, she still couldn't reach Y/N's chest. After that hug was over, which was in less then a single instant, she had pushed Y/N away. She had also closed her eyes, having a slightly-pink blush on her face, having her eyes turned away from Y/N, also keeping her head held up high.

As Y/N chuckled, waving goodbye to everyone one last time, he seemed to disappear, leaving behind a small gust of wind before he appeared on top of the Mankanshoku house. It was, once again, inside the trunk of their truck. Along with him was Ryuko, and as the two of them sat down side-by-side, Barazō began driving away. The two glanced over their shoulder one final time, before their gaze focused on each other.

Far away from the two and the Mankanshoku family, Sorōi drove a small boat that carried Hōōmaru, the Council, and Satsuki. The woman continued to look over in the distance, keeping her firm posture and cold gaze. Nonon slowly glanced up towards Satsuki with a gaze of worry mixed with a curious one. Sorōi, who kept on driving the boat that the four of them were in, also glanced towards the distance in pure silence.

Nonon: ["Are you sure about this, Lady Satsuki...?"]

Satsuki: ["We can see each other whenever we'd like to. Plus, I doubt it'd be a problem for L/N to find us"] The black-haired woman calmly commented before she reached for a knife on her thigh ["A suited farewell gift to our sinking alma mater..."]

Everyone watched in shock and surprise as Satsuki approached the knife to her head before she grasped her own hair. As their eyes trembled and mouths stood agape, Satsuki cut down her own hair on the longer side. As she calmly held its strands in her hand, a smile formed on her usually-cold gaze before she released them. And as they soared away with the wind towards the now-sank Honnō Town, Satsuki smiled.

But that smile quickly vanished.

https://youtu.be/k62_N6O2esw

Satsuki: ["Pay your last respects to Honnōji Academy!"]

Gamagōri: ["Student body! Salute!!"]

As the Elite Four stood around Satsuki, much like they always did so many months ago when Ryuko had shown up, Gamagōri roared. And as the man had said, everyone saluted by crossing their right hands across their chest with their palms down. Everyone on the boats around, be them the floaties, or the larger, metal ships, also saluted just like everyone else had done now. And far away, two men watched.

With their hands in their hips, and wide smiles across their faces, the two of them stood behind in the rubble of the sinking city. Of course, they had their means of transport to get away, so they didn't worry. Be it going with the former dictator or the two troublemakers, the two of them had a job to do now, a job just like the others. That is, the job to live a normal life. And with a deep breath, the younger one spoke.

Mikisugi: ["What a wonderful graduation ceremony..."]

Tsumugu: ["Definitely..."]

And as Honnō Town sank to the bottom of the seas, it brought down with it both of the Scissor-Blades, who remained stabbed against the ground. Far away from the place, however, Ryuko sat down on the roof of the Mankanshoku's house. Feeling the wind on her face, the girl closed her eyes, taking a deep breath as she smiled. However, she glanced over her shoulder, and that alone made her smile widen.

There stood Y/N, saluting just like the others did, facing the direction where Honnōji Academy used to be. A proud smile plastered across his lips into a stupid grim that would be enough to piss off pretty much about anyone. With his long hair flowing with the wind, the boy sniffed, quickly wiping away a tear that fell from his eyes before he turned around. Ryuko smiled, gently patting down the roof at her side.

Y/N wasted no time in sitting near her, and Ryuko equally wasted no time in moving to sit on his lap. As always, he wrapped his arms around the girl, who had laid her head against his chest, closing her eyes. Keeping his nose against the top of her head, the boy smiled, gently closing his eyes along with Ryuko. With a calm gaze, the girl gently moved her hand up, grasping the jacket, right against her arm with a warm smile.

Ryuko: ["I guess this really means that I've graduated from Sailors Uniforms..."]

Y/N: ["Which is good. I wouldn't want any boy or girl looking at the abs of my girl"] Y/N spoke with a low growl, causing Ryuko to giggle ["... But it's ok, isn't it? Because even if he isn't here, Senketsu will always be with us"]

Ryuko: ["Yeah. I won't ever forget him..."] Ryuko chuckled, opening a large smile ["... Onwards to a normal life?"]

Y/N: ["Hah. As if life could ever be normal..."]
