Honnouji Academy

Y/N cracked his knuckles and neck before turning around to watch Ryuko's heart slither back into her chest.

Ryuko: Ah! Ah!

Senketsu: Ryuko get a hold of yourself!

Ryuko was completely in shock at the sudden revelation of who and what she was. She completely ignored Senketsu as she breathed deeply and was spiraling into a panic attack.

(Y/N): Ryuko.

Ryuko didn't respond to Y/N.

(Y/N): -_- *sigh* HEEEEEEY!!!!!

Y/N shouted at the top of his lungs in Ryuko's face causing her to jolt back to reality.

Ryuko: WHA! What!? What!?

(Y/N): HEY!! EARTH TO RYUKO!!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME!?

Ryuko: Gah! S-stop yelling!

(Y/N): *grabs Ryuko* Ryuko, look at me! Look me dead in the eyes!

Ryuko: What?

(Y/N): Woman! Look me dead in the eyes!

Ryuko: *looks into Y/N's eyes* W-What!?

(Y/N): Do you care for your father!?

Ryuko: What!?

(Y/N): DO YOU CARE FOR YOUR FATHER!?

Ryuko: Gah! YES! YES I DO! What does-

(Y/N): Do care for Mako and her family!?

Ryuko: Ahhh! Yes I do!

(Y/N): Do you care about Senketsu!?

Ryuko: YES!!!

(Y/N): ...Do you care about me?

Ryuko paused and looked deeply into Y/N's eyes and saw that he was asking a genuine question.

Ryuko: Y-yes...

(Y/N): *smiles* Then that's all that matters.

Ryuko: W-what?

(Y/N): I know what's going through your mind. You're wondering, "if you're human". Well you just answered that question.

Ryuko: I did?

(Y/N): Being human has never been a what, but rather a who. So long as you care for others, and others care for you, you are more human than a lot of the people on this planet. Never, EVER, doubt that.

Ryuko: Y/N...

(Y/N): I want you to promise you'll never doubt that about yourself.

Ryuko: I-I promise...

Y/N gave Ryuko a big toothy grin and hugged her, making Ryuko blush a little.

(Y/N): Great! Now, I need you to help people evacuate the stadium.

Ryuko: What!? What about you?

(Y/N): Well, someone needs to keep the "Three Stooges" *points to Ragyo, Nui, and Rei* at bay. Besides, Mako needs your help.

Ryuko: What? Ah! Mako! Alright, I get it! I'll be back!

(Y/N): I'll be fine.

Ryuko jumped to where the COVERS were attacking the audience, meanwhile Ragyo was slowly recovering from Y/N's fist.

Ragyo: *gasp* Gah! *pant* Ugh.

Y/N's fist had ripped away half of Ragyo's face, resulting in the Life Fibers having to regenerate both her skull and a part of her eye.

(Y/N): Well damn. You can regenerate from even that... Good thing I have my gloves!... That are not on my hands... -_- god damnit...

Ragyo: I *gasp* could *pant* have made you into a god! *gasp*

(Y/N): Lady, I've fought gods, goddesses, emperors, empresses, kings, queens, aaaaaand one court jester... the hell makes you think I want to be a god?

Ragyo slowly climbed out of the rubble she was in and gripped the part of her face that was slowly regenerating

Nui: Lady Ragyo!

Rei: Lady Ragyo!

Both Nui and Rei rushed to their master's side.

Ragyo: Hououmaru, return to the mansion and secure the Life Fiber Palace.

Rei: Yes, ma'am!

Ragyo: Nui...

Nui: Yes!

Ragyo: Kill the rest of those peasents...

Nui: *giggles* Yay!

As Nui tried to jump past (Y/N), he grabbed her by the leg.

(Y/N): Pffft. You're kidding right?

Nui: EH!?

Y/N proceeded to smash Nui into the ground repeatedly, Nui screamed in pain as she was used as a rag-doll. After a few slams into the ground, Y/N threw her right back at Ragyo, she dodged Nui's body, whom landed with a loud boom behind her.

(Y/N): Alright, let's do this.

Ragyo's face had finally finished regenerating and she stared at Y/N for a moment before she smiled again.

Ragyo: *smiles* A knight should learn, that they still serve royalty. *snaps finger*

Reiketsu began to convulse and after a moment began to try and consume Y/N.

(Y/N): *flinches* Agh! The fuck? Okay, you're coming off.

Y/N gripped the collar of the suit and began to pull it off, ripping the Kamui in the process.

(Y/N): Ow! Oh god damnit! This thing attached itself to my skin!

Reiketsu's eyes went bloodshot as it slowly felt itself get torn apart, Ragyo started in a mixture of surprise and disgust at what Y/N was doing. Blood shot into the air as Y/N peeled off Reiketsu, when it finally came off, all Y/N was wearing was his underwear. The rest of his body had blood gushing from the wounds from tearing off the Kamui. Y/N tossed the suit to the side and caught his breath.

(Y/N): Gah! *pant* that hurt... a lot... *breathes* okay, let's do this.

Ragyo: Hmmm... You're much more resilient than I thought.

(Y/N): And you're much more insane than I thought.

Nui recovered from being thrown into the wall and jumped next to Ragyo.

Nui: You filthy- *twitch* naked! *twitch* I HATE YOU! *twitch* HATEHATEHATE *twitch*

Ragyo: *smile* It is time I finally get to see your strength, Y/N.

(Y/N): *cracks knuckles* two-on-one, huh? This'll be easy...

Y/N lunged at Ragyo and Nui and their fight caused massive explosions to rock the arena.

Ryuko: Woah. I can barely keep track of them...

Senketsu: Ryuko! We need to focus! We need to get everyone out of here!

Ryuko: Ah! Right!

As Y/N kept Ragyo and Nui at bay, Ryuko started to cut down the COVERS attacking the evacuating audience. Back to where Gamagoori was fighting, Mako was caught by one of the COVERS and was slowly being reeled in.

Gamagoori: Mankanshoku! Cut the thread!

Mako: Aaaaaah! Someone save me!

Ryuko: Mako!

Ryuko managed to cut Mako down before she got consumed by the COVERS that caught her.

Mako: Phew! Thank you Ryuko! There's no way I'd want to wear those kind of clothes!

Gamagoori: Mankanshoku!

Gamagoori bursted out from the large COVERS that were pinning him and landed next to Ryuko and Mako.

Mako: Waaah! Gamagoori!!

Gamagoori: I gave you a direct order to evacuate everyone, why are you still here!?

Mako: AAAAAHHH!!! I understand Gamagoori!! *rushes off*

Ryuko: Not even going to give her a break?

Gamagoori: Matoi... You have my thanks for saving Mankanshoku.

Ryuko: I don't need your thanks!

Gamagoori: As for the family thing... Uh...

Ryuko: We can deal with that later! Just help me get everyone out of here!

Aikuro: Ryuko! I already called in some evacuation helicopters, they should be here soon!

Gamagoori: Good! We can use them to get the civilians out of here. Matoi! Clear the skies of all those damn COVERS!

Ryuko: Don't tell me what to do! Senketsu Shippu!

SENKETSU SHIPPU (GALE)

Senketsu transformed into his aerial form and the two of them launched upward and began to destroy the COVERS that filled the sky.

As the battle continued, Reiketsu crawled its way to safety. As it slowly reconstructed itself it turned its eye back to Y/N, and stared at him obsessively.

Reiketsu: MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!

Reiketsu longed for Y/N's blood, for his blood was the most delicious meal it ever had. As it crawled its sleeve dipped into something wet, which caused it to jolt with in surprise. There was a puddle of Y/N's blood pooling right next to it.

Reiketsu: Blood? His blood! MINE! MINE! MINE!

Reiketsu jumped into the small puddle of collected blood and soaked it up like a sponge. After draining it dry it looked around and saw that Y/N's blood was splattered everywhere. Reiketsu did not waste a moment, and knew exactly what it wanted to do.

Y/N was able to keep both, Ragyo and Nui away from the evacuating civilians. The two women were unable to land a single hit on Y/N as he would always block or dodge them. Y/N on the other hand, was easily able to keep sending the two women flying into walls.

Ragyo: ACK!

Nui: DIE DAMN YOU!!!

(Y/N): No.

The fight grew more intense, causing the explosions to grow larger and louder. However, as time went on, something changed. More specifically, Y/N noticed it when Nui lunged at him with her Scissor Blade.

Nui: RAAAAAAH!!!!

Nui was moving in slow-motion to Y/N, her attack was easily telegraphed and Y/N could parry it without difficulty. However, as the attack came closer Y/N's vision blurred a little and his hands were not moving fast enough to catch Nui's blade.

(Y/N): Oh shi-!

Y/N twisted his body in order to avoid the blade but he still ended up getting clipped by Nui attack.

(Y/N): Ah! Damnit! *grabs side* That hurt...

Nui: HeheheHAHAHAHAHA!!! I hit him! I HIT HIM!!!! HAHAHAHA!!

Y/N stumbled a bit before getting his bearings. Suddenly out of breath, Y/N looked around and noticed, that even though he was easily able to beat down Raygo and Nui, most of the blood that splattered around the stadium was his own.

Ragyo: Oh~ is there something wrong? *smirk*

(Y/N): *pant* Oh, I see what's going on here... *pant* I really should have seen this coming... *pant*

Moments later the three of them noticed helicopters arriving and picking up the escaping audience members.

Ragyo: They only delay their inevitable purpose. To be food for the Life Fibers.

(Y/N): Ryuko's right, *pant* you people DO like to hear yourselves talk.

Ragyo: *smirk* Watch this... *snaps finger*

With the snap of her fingers, thousands more COVERS appeared in the sky above.

Ragyo: *giggles* Everything that you do is pointless.

Y/N glared at Ragyo and then took a deep breath. As he exhaled time seemed to slow down for Y/N as he looked around. Behind him he saw the Elite Four, with the last of the audience away, they were desperately fighting the COVERS to get to Satsuki, up above, Y/N saw Ryuko attempting to fight off the sudden swarm of COVERS that appeared in the sky, and to his left he observed Satsuki, still unconscious lying under the debris that pinned her. Despite each of their strengths, each were about to fail under the sudden rush of COVERS.

(Y/N): Hmmm.... *looks down at his own body* This is gonna hurt in the morning... -_-

With a sudden burst of speed, Y/N ran at the COVERS surrounding the Elite Four. Time was at a near standstill as he ran, behind him, a trail of his blood flew into the air. After kicking and cutting each of the killer suits, Y/N grabbed each of the Elite Four and threw them as hard as he could out of the arena. As he threw each of them they froze in their thrown positions, as Y/N was moving so fast.

(Y/N): *pant* With that amount of force they should land outside of the city...

Y/N then looked to the sky and jumped up to where Ryuko was using the COVERS as footholds. As time went on, the world around Y/N began to slowly move faster.

(Y/N): Son of a... *pant*

Y/N grabbed Ryuko and chucked her as hard as he could away from the arena. When he was sure that Ryuko would make it out, he turned his attention to Satsuki. As Y/N ran he tripped and skidded across the stadium floor.

(Y/N) Agh! Shit!

As time once again caught up, the world finally caught up to what Y/N had done.

Sanageyama: What was!?!?!?......

Nonon: WHAAAAAA!?!?......

Inumuta: IMPOSSIBLE!!!......

Gamagoori: HOW!?!?!?......

Each of the Elite Four were sent flying out of the arena and out of harms way.

Ryuko: What the hell is!?!?!......

Senketsu: Gaaaaah!!!.....

Ryuko, was launched with the rest of the Elite Four out of the arena. Y/N got back up and started to run for Satsuki.

Nui: Where are you going?

Nui appeared behind Y/N with her sword aimed at his head.

(Y/N): *pant* Oh fuck off already!

Y/N twisted his body and kicked Nui away, but before he could recover, another blade pierced through Y/N's shoulder.

Ragyo: Hello Y/N~

(Y/N): AGH! Oh come on!

Y/N tried to kick Ragyo away but, due to the blood loss, was too slow to land the hit and Ragyo caught his foot.

Ragyo: Not this time.~

Ragyo used her sword and pinned Y/N to the ground with it and grabbed Y/N's other arm with her free hand.

Ragyo: No escape this time~

Nui: *giggles* We got you!

(Y/N): Seriously!? That scar just started to fade!

Ragyo: Shhhhhh~ don't worry, we won't kill you. That isn't the reward I wanted for you anyway.~

As Ragyo smiled at finally catching Y/N, Satsuki awoken to see her mother gloating. In response, Satsuki took out a detonator.

Satsuki: N-not yet...

With the push of the button the whole arena erupted into explosions.

BOOM.

Meanwhile

The Skies Above Honno City.

Ryuko was spinning out of control in the sky, due to the sudden change in direction from Y/N throwing her at a speed she didn't think possible.

Ryuko: Woaaaaaaah!!!

Senketsu: Gaaaaah!!!

Ryuko: Senketsu! Spin the other way!!

Eventually Ryuko was able to correct herself and gain some altitude again. However, by the time she did so she was outside the city limits of Honno City and the arena was far off.

Ryuko: What the hell was that!?

Senketsu: I'm unsure...

Ryuko: Shit! We need to head back! We need to get Y/N out of there!

Senketsu: Right!

Ryuko rocketed back toward the stadium. As she got closer she had to cut through swarms of COVERS that littered the sky.

Ryuko: Fuck! *slice* off! *slice* Senketsu! Can you see Y/N?

Senketsu: No. There's too many of these suits in the way...

As Ryuko got closer she finally managed to get an opening and saw Y/N pinned down by Ragyo.

Ryuko: Y/N!!!!

BOOM.

As she launched herself toward Y/N the stadium exploded and a the force of the debris flying everywhere knocked Ryuko unconscious.

Some Time Later...

Honno City

Satsuki slowly woke up, her head was killing her and she still felt the pain from when she attempted to fight her mother. As her eyes adjusted to the light she found herself in an alleyway in what looked to be the One-Star district of Honno City.

Satsuki: How did I?...

As she gathered her bearings she got up and noticed that she was still in her undergarments but was also covered in blood. Startled by this she quickly examined her body to determine if she had any critical injuries. Satsuki sighed with relief that the blood wasn't hers but noticed that the blood on her trailed to another body to her left.

Satsuki: Y/N!?

(Y/N): Ah. *cough* Sleeping beauty wakes... *pant*

Satsuki rushed to Y/N, who was slumped against a wall, covered in wounds. Most of his body was had cuts of various sizes bleeding onto the ground, the largest wound was the shoulder wound that Y/N gripped tightly. The blood pooled beneath him as he fought to stay awake.

Satsuki: How long have we been here?

(Y/N): A few hours. *pant*

Satsuki: *looks at Y/N's wounds* You need medical attention.

(Y/N): *cough* I'm gonna need *pant* a whole lot more than that...

Satsuki: Can you walk?

(Y/N): I'm not gonna lie... *pant* I feel like a deflated water-balloon. I can't exactly feel my limbs anymore.

Satsuki: We need to-

(Y/N): Wait! Get down.

Seconds later, a group of COVERS floated above the alley. After a moment they disappeared behind a building.

Satsuki: What is going on?

(Y/N): After the explosion, your mother sent those things out looking for us, and any one else left in the city. Those things are one of the reasons I couldn't get further down Honno City.

Satsuki: That doesn't matter now. We need to bandage your wounds or you're going to die.

Satsuki helped Y/N to his feet.

Satsuki: Lean on me.

(Y/N): *grunt* You know, *cough* I could've gone without the huge explosion at the stadium. -_-

Satsuki: From where I was sitting, it was better than the alternative.

Y/N looked behind them and saw the trail of blood he was leaving.

(Y/N): ...

Y/N and Satsuki slowly made their way through different alleyways, avoiding the patrolling COVERS that filled the city. Eventually they found a small convenience store and Satsuki brought Y/N inside to bandage his wounds.

Satsuki: This place will have to do.

Satsuki placed Y/N against the wall and ran to the medical aisle to gather supplies. After returning with the necessary tools she first took a few water bottles and washed away the blood.

(Y/N): Ah! Cold!

Satsuki: *smirk* Quit your whining.

As Satsuki washed away the blood and started applying antiseptic and the bandages, she got a good look at the scars Y/N had on his body.

Satsuki: ...You have a lot of scars...

(Y/N): -_- *sigh* Yeah i do...

Satsuki: Just where did you get them?

(Y/N): A mechanical shark, an alien flamingo, and a court jester, to name a few... Really hated that jester...

Satsuki: You've fought for quite a long time, haven't you?

(Y/N): -_- Still am, evidently...

Satsuki: Most of these wounds will heal given time, but your shoulder is another story.

(Y/N): Yeah, I can feel it... 

Satsuki: While the blade missed your bones, the way it twisted out of you, dislocated it. We'll have to-

(Y/N): I gotcha.

To Satsuki's surprise, Y/N lifted his free arm and gripped his shoulder and with an audible popping sound, popped his shoulder back into place.

(Y/N): Ow. I hate doing that. -_-

Satsuki: You've fought all your battles alone, haven't you?

(Y/N): *grunt* Yep. Sure, there were a few times were someone helped me do certain things, but most of the time I was by myself.

Satsuki: That sounds quite lonely...

(Y/N): Well that's one of the reasons why I decided to have a normal life. I didn't exactly have much in the way of friends.

Satsuki: If it is any consolation, I apologize for making your life so difficult at the academy.

(Y/N): *looks at Satsuki* Wow. The Great Satsuki Kiryuin has actually apologized to someone. The world MUST be ending... *looks outside* Hmmm... maybe I should rephrase that...

Satsuki: *smirk* Don't let it go to your head.

(Y/N): Ha. Your terrib- *looks outside* Satsuki, I need you to do something for me.

Satsuki: Huh? What is it?

(Y/N): Do you know where my apartment is, in the No-Star District of the city?

Satsuki: Yes.

(Y/N): ...I'm not even surprised by that... Underneath my bed there is a scrapbook and a silver case. It is very important that you at least grab the silver case.

Satsuki: Y/N, what are you-

Y/N stumbled to his feet and propped himself on the nearby counter.

(Y/N): *cough* In a few moments, your mother is gonna come through the front door.

Satsuki: What!? We need to-

(Y/N): I am in no condition to outrun her or hide. I need you to head to my apartment and get those things and meet up with everyone else.

Satsuki: What about you?

(Y/N): Well obviously, I'm going to keep them here long enough for you to get a safe distance away.

Satsuki: I am not leaving you beh-

(Y/N): *glares* Yes you are. If you stay, they will get the both of us. And I really don't want to hear her gloat about that...

Satsuki: ...You knew this would happen, didn't you?

(Y/N): I was leaving a trail of blood, it was only a matter of time until they found me. Now, leave.

Satsuki opened her mouth to speak but closed it again when she realized that Y/N was right. She would have a easier time escaping if she left him behind. She bit her lip, when the logic sounded correct.

(Y/N): Don't worry, your mother won't kill me.

Satsuki: That is what worries me...

(Y/N): Tell you what, you can give me a kiss for good luck.

Much to Y/N's surprise Satsuki pulled him in and kissed him on the lips, rather passionately.

Satsuki: *kiss*

(Y/N): ._. Not gonna lie, I didn't actually think you'd do that...

Satsuki: You'd better come out of this in one piece.

(Y/N): Do NOT tell Ryuko you did that. She'd kill me.

Satsuki: *smirk* No promises.

(Y/N): I'm not joking! She'd totally kill me.

Satsuki only smiled and left out the back entrance to the store.

(Y/N): -_- She's totally going to tell...

After another moment the front of the store exploded and Ragyo and Nui stepped through the former entrance to the store.

Ragyo: Hello Y/N.~

Nui: We found you!

(Y/N): Yeah, yeah. You found me...

Ragyo: Where is my daughter? I was certain that she'd be with you.

(Y/N): -_- Why would I answer that question?

Ragyo: *gasp* We didn't interrupt something? Did we?~

(Y/N): -_- Stop being weird.

Nui: It doesn't matter! I can find her, easy! She's only a human after all!

Before Nui could jump away, Y/N kicked her square in the stomach sending her into the nearby building. Before Ragyo could react, Y/N spun around and punched Ragyo square in the face. While she did reel back, she was only slid backward a couple yards.

Ragyo: Oh?~ That wasn't nearly as hard as back in the stadium.

(Y/N): Lady, *pant* I have hole in my shoulder, I'm pretty sure I've lost half of all the blood in my body, my vision is blurry, and the world looks like it's spinning, and I still hit you hard enough to send you back. What excuse do you have?

Ragyo: *smile* So defiant~

(Y/N): Lady... I'm gonna need you *pant* to stop that... *pant* right now....

Y/N charged at Ragyo again, but when he did so, the wounds that were bandaged opened again, causing him to flinch. Ragyo took the opportunity to kick him straight into the ground.

(Y/N): Ow... *grunts* Yep, that's it... I can't move any more...

Ragyo: Lovely~ Now where were we, before we were interrupted? Ah yes. You were coming with me.~

As Ragyo's smile grew wider, Y/N looked in the direction Satsuki ran in, and then finally blacked out.
