Satsuki: *gasp* ...Gah....Wa....Huh?

Satsuki found herself still breathing and slowly opened her eyes.

Satsuki: I'm.... alive?

She slowly rose to her feet and looked as to where she was.

Satsuki: The sewers....

She looked up and saw the collapsed hole that she fell through. Her neck was still sore but she was more shocked that she was still alive, especially after how much force Y/N used to slam her, literally, into the ground.

Satsuki: Does that mean?.....

After a moment she started to take in her surroundings and spotted something familiar under a small pile of debris.

Satsuki: That's-!

S.S. Naked Sun

A Few Hours Later

Tsumugu: Damnit!

Tsumugu slammed his fists on one of the computers in the bridge.

Tsumugu: What the hell happened!?

Aikuro: Y/N was being controlled by Ragyo, and at this rate, most likely, so is Ryuko...

Sanageyama: Satsuki was...

Nonon: Shut up! Don't you dare say that!

Tsumugu: How's the other guy?

Aikuro: The Mankanshoku's are looking after him, we'll get a status report later. For now, we need to get out of this area, the COVERS are going to come this way.

Moments later, the ship's alarms began to blare.

Inumuta: Something's heading straight for this ship, and fast.

Tsumugu: What!?

Moments later and large ball of light landed directly on the main deck of the S.S. Naked Sun. With a huge explosion, Ryuko stepped out from the crater, transformed into Junketsu, Ryuko smiled at the member of Nudist Beach.

Ryuko: I'm gonna destroy it!... I'm going to destroy it ALL!

After making her entrance, Ryuko started to demolish the ship.

Tsumugu: Is that-!?

Aikuro: Damn. She's going to demolish the whole ship!

Inumuta: I can't fathom a worse scenario than this.

Sanageyama: This the end?... Well I'm not going down without a fight!

Sanageyama grabbed his Tailor's Knives and rushed off to face Ryuko.

Nonon: You're not leaving without me! I have a bone to pick with that troublemaker!

Nonon followed after.

Aikuro: Tsumugu.

Tsumugu: Hmph. If this really is the end, then I'm taking that Kamui with me...

S.S. Naked Sun: Main Deck

Ryuko: HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ryuko swung her Scissor Blade around and destroyed all of of Nudist Beach's equipment.

Ryuko: Is this all the great Nudist Beach can offer?

Sanageyama: Matoi!

Nonon: Troublemaker!

Sanageyama and Nonon answered her taunt and charged at Ryuko.

Ryuko: Hahaha! Oh look! Satsuki's loyal stooges!

Ryuko dodged their attack and swung her Scissor Blade right back at them, the mere force of her swing sent them flying away.

Sanageyama: AGH!!

Nonon: AAAAH!!

Ryuko: Awwww. Was I too rough? I guess without Satsuki your nothing but rabid dogs!

Nonon: Don't you dare talk about Satsuki that way!

Ryuko: Or what? You going to fight me? YOU? Hahahaha!

Tsumugu: Don't look down on us!

Tsumugu charged at Ryuko in one of Nudist Beach's mechs. The needles harmlessly bounced off of Ryuko.

Ryuko: Hmph. Pathetic.

Ryoko swung her Scissor Blade again and sent Tsumugu flying off the edge of the ship.

Tsumugu: Shit!

Tsumugu managed to eject out of the mech before he fell overboard and climbed back up.

Ryuko: Is this it? *looks around* Is this the last bastion of your so called "resistance"?

Sanageyama: We will fight to the end! Even if we have to jump into the jaws of death itself!

Nonon: We will honor Satsuki by fighting to our last breath!

Ryuko: *smirk* Then die!

Ryuko charged at Sanageyama and Nonon.

Sanageyama: This is it!

Nonon: I can't believe I'm going to die to the likes of her!

Ryuko: DIE-!

Mid-swing Ryuko skid to a halt and looked to the sky, eyes wide.

Ryuko: Impossible...

Sanageyama: What the hell is she-?

Inumuta: Another object is approaching the ship at high speed!

Tsumugu: What could it be this time!?

A red ball of light crash landed where Ryuko stood, causing her to jump back.

Ryuko: How...

As the dust cleared, it is revealed to be Satsuki donning Senketsu.

Ryuko: HOW ARE YOU ALIVE!?

Satsuki: If you thought it would be that easy to kill me. Then I wouldn't be who I am!

Sanageyama: Lady Satsuki!

Nonon: Satsuki!

Inumuta: Lady Satsuki!

Tsumugu: How did she-?

Ryuko: Tch! *looks at Senketsu*

Senketsu: Ryuko...

Ryuko: *smirk* I'll just have to finish what Y/N started. Let's do this, Satsuki!

Ryuko and Satsuki began to clash on the main deck of the S.S. Naked Sun.

Satsuki: So long as even a spark of hope is left, the fires of resistance will never die!

Ryuko: Run your mouth all you want, but if you couldn't even manage to wear Junketsu completely, you've got no chance of making full use of that "fake" either.

Satsuki: You think I'm all bark and no bite? Then let me show you... Senketsu Blade Flash!

Senketsu transformed into his bladed form and Satsuki lunged at Ryuko, causing her to have to dodge.

Ryuko: Why you-!

Satsuki: Senketsu Gale!

Again, Senketsu transformed, this time into his aerial form. Satsuki once again charged at Ryuko, causing her to jump back.

Ryuko: Quit ripping me off, bitch!

Satsuki: Oh, we're only getting started. Blade Gale!

Senketsu: Interesting...

This time, when Senketsu transformed, he combined the barbs of his bladed form with his aerial form. Satsuki began to spin in the air, resulting in a kind of flying buzzsaw, heading straight for Ryuko.

Ryuko: Bitch!

With another huge explosion, Ryuko and Satsuki's fight continued.

Meanwhile.

Honnouji Academy

Nui was finalizing sewing another piece of a huge project, currently in the center of Honnouji Academy's courtyard. With her was Ragyo and Y/N.

Nui: Okay. That should do it for today!

Ragyo: Excellent~

Nui: Can I go play with Ryuko now?

Ragyo: Of course.

Nui: Hooray! Let's go Y/N!

Ragyo: I would like to speak with Y/N, *smirk* do not worry I will not keep him long.

Nui: Okay! *looks at Y/N* See you soon!

After Nui left, Ragyo walked up to Y/N, who stood at attention.

Ragyo: I believe it is finally time to finish giving you your "reward".

(Y/N): ....Yes....Ma'am...

Y/N remained still as Ragyo gathered a ball of Life Fibers into her hands. As she did so, she smiled and looked at Y/N.

Ragyo: *giggles* Did you think I wouldn't notice?...

(Y/N): ...I don't-

Ragyo: Of course you do~

Y/N slightly flinched at Ragyo's observations.

Ragyo: Don't worry. I'm not mad. In fact I'm overjoyed, now I get to be SURE that you're mine.

The Life Fibers in her hands outstretched and wrapped around Y/N's head.

Ragyo: And finally become my true knight...

S.S. Naked Sun: Main Deck

Ryuko charged at Satsuki again, when Senketsu transformed into his bladed form Ryuko shattered the blades with a single swing of her Scissor Blade.

Senketsu: ARGH!!

Satsuki: Falter not!

Ryuko: *smirk* I see... You aren't truly wearing that Kamui, are you?

Satsuki: Senketsu Gale!

Ryuko: Too slow!

Satsuki: Senketsu Blade Gale!

Ryuko: Still TOO SLOW!!!

As Satsuki tried to transform, Ryuko would instantly close the gap between them and strike the moment Senketsu finished his transformation, resulting in Satsuki being sent flying into the ground.

Nonon: Lady Satsuki!

Ryuko: What the matter? Having trouble?

Ryuko grabbed Satsuki by the hair and began to pummel her with her bare hands.

Ryuko: *hit* "Life Fiber Synchronization", my ass. *hit* You and Senketsu aren't on the same page at all. *hit* All you're doing is ordering Senketsu to attack using his powers. *hit* That's why your teamwork's all wonky. *hit* YOU'RE the one who's just being worn by her Kamui. You haven't improved since wearing Junketsu at all!

Ryuko kicked Satsuki in the stomach sending her rolling further along the deck of the ship, and onto her back

Satsuki: AAGH!!

Ryuko: I've had it with your attitude.

Satsuki: *pant* *cough*

Ryuko: What's wrong? If you can't stand by yourself, *grabs Satsuki* maybe I should lend a hand.

Ryuko gripped Satsuki by the neck.

Ryuko: You're a pathetic princess who stands atop a mere sandcastle. One wave is all it takes to wash your kingdom away.

Senketsu: Stop it, Ryuko.

Ryuko: Hmm?

Senketsu: Yes, my words don't reach Satsuki. And yes, this Life Fiber Synchronize is but a shadow of ours, But , we stand together in our goal to bring you back to your senses.

Ryuko: Shut the hell up.

Senketsu: Do you have any idea how much stress Satsuki's placing on her body to let me fight? Only a handful of humans could pull that off.

Ryuko: So what? She still can't win!

With another swing of her Scissor Blade, Ryuko kicked Satsuki in the head, throwing her a few yards away.

Ryuko: You sure are annoying for a scrap of clothing. I'll chop you to pieces along with Satsuki-!

BOOM

With an explosion to her side, Ryuko flinched and looked to see Nonon was using two rocket pods and fired them at Ryuko.

Nonon: Don't dare insult Satsuki! Her sandcastle is made of steel! It won't fall apart that easily!

Ryuko: Stay out of this!

Ryuko cut apart the incoming rockets, only to be attacked by Sanageyama.

Sanageyama: *strike* Matoi! Don't you realize what Lady Satsuki wants? *strike* You must be more blind than, I! *strike*

Ryuko: *block* You're just a human, why should I care? *dodge* What can you do with those puny knives?

As Ryuko asked that question, Sanageyama jumped away and revealed the S.S. Naked Sun's massive artillery batteries aimed directly at her.

Inumuta: "What", you ask? Well, he can lure you into a firing range.

BOOM

With the push of a button, Inumuta fired the cannons, point blank, at Ryuko. The explosion sent Ryuko, and chunks of the main deck, flying to the far end of the ship. Amongst the fire of the wreckage Ryuko stood, unfazed by the blast.

Ryuko: Did you really think that'd work on Junketsu?

Gamagoori: No, but it did give me the chance to close in on you.

As if out of nowhere, Gamagoori appeared behind Ryuko, with the weapon Iori made earlier.

Ryuko: What!? You're alive too!?!

Gamagoori: It takes FAR more to take down Ira Gamagoori!!!! And now, I'm going to pull you out from Junketsu!

Ryuko: Damnit! This your plan all along, wasn't it? Satsuki!!!!

Satsuki: Correct! Senketsu and I can't beat you as you are now. But entrusting the Elite Four with the finishing blow gave us a chance!

Ryuko: How!? You didn't even get a chance to tell your lackeys what to do!

Gamagoori: We do not need Lady Satsuki to TELL us what to do!

Sanageyama: We could feel what she wanted us to do!

Nonon: When you spend so much time with Lady Satsuki, you learn to take orders in the heat of battle!

Inumuta: It was also pretty obvious what Lady Satsuki was trying to accomplish...

Ryuko: Grrrr... I can't believe you'd use yourself as a decoy!

Satsuki: I do anything to win! Did you forget that's how I do things?

Gamagoori: Now, I'll tear you away from Junketsu and bring you back to your senses!

The massive cylinder revved up to full but suddenly jammed before it could fully remove Ryuko from Junketsu.

Gamagoori: Wha!? Why can't I separate Matoi!?

As Gamagoori struggled to get Ryuko out of Junketsu, Satsuki sensed a dangerous presence.

Satsuki: Gamagoori, Run!

Seconds later, Nui flew in from above and destroyed the Anti-Fiber Human Extraction Device.

Satsuki: Nui Harime!

Nui: Woooow!' Satsuki! You're still life! That means... Oh~ I see...

Satsuki: I should have known someone like you would come here...

Nui: *giggles* It's nice to see you too Satsuki! And to answer your question, Ryuko can NEVER take Junketsu off!

Satsuki: What do you mean?

Nui: I mean, I sewed the Life Fibers within her body and Junketsu's together. If you try to forcefully take it off, they'll get ripped apart, and she'll die.

Senketsu: What!?

Satsuki: How dare you!

Aikuro: She sewed the Kamui onto her body?!

Meanwhile

REVOCS Headquarters

All of REVOCS employees were gathered in the main auditorium, on the stage Rei made her announcement to crowd of personnel.

Rei: We successfully completed the acquisition of every sewing factory in India and China the other day. As a result, REVOCS now holds 100% of the world's market. Humans across the globe are wearing our clothing in one way or another.

Ragyo: Congratulations! Life Fibers have spread through all of mankind. Now there's just one last task for you all to complete...

When she finished her sentence, the COVERS that were hiding above in the ceiling, grabbed each and every one of REVOCS employees. When all the employees were taken, all of them flew out of the REVOCS headquarter building, Rei, who was not taken, made her exit via a helicopter.

At the Kiryuin Mansion, in the Life Fiber Palace, Ragyo was initializing the final steps of her plan.

Ragyo: The original Life Fiber, which touched down on planet Earth, stimulated mankind's evolution by providing it with clothing and then went into a dormant state until humanity advanced sufficiently. Our job as the Kiryuin family was to protect it until then. Only one Kiryuin head would ever see it reawaken. I thank Father Time for choosing me as that person. Now I can witness this amazing event with my own eyes.

As she spoke, the Original Life Fiber began to absorb the various COVERS that floated around the room.

Kuroido: What is happening?

Ragyo: This world shall belong to the Life Fibers. This is the genesis of the Cocoon Planet!

Kuroido: Congratulations, milady.

Ragyo: Kuroido. Do you and the others wish to take part as well?

Kuroido: May we?

Ragyo: Indeed.

Kuroido: Thank you very much!

After giving his thanks, Kuroido and his fellow servants, were taken and summarily absorbed by the Original Life Fiber. With a huge flash of light, the Original Life Fiber bursted from the grounds of the Kiryuin Estate. With Ragyo riding atop, the massive mass of Life Fibers began to float towards its destination, Honnouji Academy.

S.S. Naked Sun

Ryuko, now aided by Nui, renewed her attacks on her former allies. Using her Scissor Blade, Ryuko blew away the Elite Four and cut apart Senketsu.

Satsuki: Senketsu!

Senketsu: RAAAGH!!!

Ryuko: This is the end!

Mako: Stop!

Mako came flying straight at Ryuko, only for her to miss as she dodged.

HALLELUJAH

Mako: I can understand why you're mad, Ryuko. Yeah, if you can't take those clothes off, you can't wash yourself even if you take a bath, and you can't dress up when you have to go on a date! But that doesn't mean you should go this crazy!

Ryuko: What the hell are you talking about?

Gamagoori: Run, Mankanshoku! Matoi is not her usual self!

Mako: Ryuko is always herself! Even if she's got Life Fibers in her body, or if she's mad that she's not human, Ryuko's still herself! And Senketsu's is her best outfit!

Nui: ....She's such a nuisance.

As Mako tried to reach Ryuko, Nui stared to walk towards her with the intent to stab her.

Senketsu: Mako!

At the last minute, Senketsu tackled Mako out of the way of Nui's attack. In the resulting tumble, Mako ended up wearing Senketsu.

Mako: This is?

Senketsu: Yes. I took some of your blood, just don't get anemic.

Nui: Girls who try to punch about their weight and wear outfits that don't suit them are what I hate most. They're so pathetic, I could hurl.

Before Nui could move again, she was assaulted upon by Satsuki, who now wore a Nudist Beach outfit.

Nui: *dodge* You still don't get it? *dodge* a mere human couldn't possibly beat me. *dodge*

Satsuki: Be that as it may, the blade within my heart still stands firm.

Nui: Sheesh, how persistent.

After dodging another strike, Nui began her counter-attack.

Nui: Ryuko belongs to Lady Ragyo.

Satsuki: I wonder about that.

Nui: What are you-?

Satsuki: *smirk* If Ryuko Matoi is indeed completely on your side, then why don't you let her have the other half of the Scissor Blade?

Nui: !!

Satsuki: Those scissors are the last weapon that can oppose the Life Fibers. You're holding on to one half of it because you're still a touch anxious. That anxiety is our path to victory!

Nui: Tch.

Satsuki: The look on your face has convinced me. We WILL prevail!

After her speech, the Elite Four jumped out from behind her and pushed Nui away.

Sanageyama: Leave her to us!

Gamagoori: You take care of Matoi!

Nonon: You're our only hope!

Satsuki: I'm counting on you!

Nui: Ryuko! Kill that girl along with Senketsu! That's what Lady Ragyo wants. Show these simpletons talking about hope, just how dar reality can be!

Ryuko: ...Gotcha.

Senketsu: Knock it off, Ryuko!

Ryuko: So you're going to protect that girl?

Senketsu: Yes, I will. But I also want to protect you, Ryuko!

Ryuko: Me?

Senates: That's right. If you kill Mako right here and now, that will hurt YOU most of all! So I won't let you, no matter what!

Ryuko: Say what?

Mako: It's all because you're so selfish, Ryuko! Now Senketsu's been worn by me instead! This just isn't right! I'm sure you can take that outfit off. So hurry up and change!

Ryuko: Shut up already, will ya!?

As Ryuko brought her Scissor Blade above her head, Satsuki jumped in and pried-open her chest plate.

Satsuki: Now, Mankanshoku! Stick Senketsu into this wound!

Mako: What!?

Satsuki: Senketsu! Use your powers to untangle Matoi's and Junketsu's Life Fibers!

Senketsu: Alright!

Mako: Understood!

Senketsu: Here I come, Ryuko! I'm going to force you to change!

Mako: It's high time you learned how powerful one's best outfit can be!

With all her might, Mako shoved Senketsu right into Ryuko's chest, as Senketsu was sucked in, she was too.

Ryuko's Mind

Once inside, Mako and Senketsu burst open the church doors and confronted Ryuko in her mind.

Mako: Ryuko! We've come for you!

Senketsu: Ryuko!

In response, Ryuko lifted her Scissor Blade.

Ryuko: I'll kill anyone who dares destroy my happiness.

Mako: How can you call this happiness? This isn't like you at all!

Ryuko: Shut up.

Senketsu: Come to your senses, Ryuko!

Ryuko: Shut the hell up!

Mako: You stupid, foolish, fool! Fine. Kill me! If you insist on staying cooped up in here forever, kill me, and quit being Ryuko!

After a moment of silence, Ryuko slashed at Mako, resulting in a fountain of blood. But instead of Mako being cut, Senketsu had leaped forward and took the full force of her attack.

Senketsu: URGH!!!

As the blood continued to shoot outward, it completely covered Ryuko, and the memory went red.

S.S. Naked Sun

A few moments after Mako and Senketsu were sucked into Ryuko a huge flash of light shot into the sky, followed by an explosion. A huge flood of black liquid began to pour out of Ryuko, washing over the whole ship. And with another flash of light the liquid stopped, and Ryuko was panting where she stood.

Satsuki: Matoi...

Nui: Oh dear. Looks like your plan to win her over ended in failure. Come on, Ryu-

Before she could finish, the red Scissor Blade impaled her into a wall.

Nui: Whaaaat?

Ryuko: Quit doing as you damn well please!

Nui: No way.

Ryuko: How dare you make me wear this outfit!?

Mako: Ryuko!

Senketsu: Ryuko!

Ryuko: Screw it. I've had enough!

Aikuro: Ryuko!

Elite Four: Matoi!

With sheer force of will and her own strength, Ryuko began to tear off Junketsu from her skin.

Satsuki: Stop it Matoi! You'll die if you try to take it off by force!

Ryuko: Dying is fine by me! I have to take this thing off, even iff it costs me my life!

With one last pull, Ryuko tore Junketsu clean off of her. As a result a literal geyser of blood poured out.

Ryuko: Otherwise, I won't be able to wear Senketsu again!

Mako: Ryuko!

Senketsu: Ryuko, are you okay!?

Ryuko This hurst like hell! IT freakin' kills! But it's just what I deserve for acting like such a complete and utter fool!

Nui: I can't believe you're still alive after severing you Life Fibers. *pulls free* However...

Nonon: Nui's wounds healed!

Sanageyama: So she's immortal too?

Tsumugu: That's the power of the Life Fibers within her body.

Nui: Throwing your Scissor Blade at me was a mistake, now they're both mine.

Mako: Go Senketsu! To Ryuko! *throws Senketsu*

Senketsu: Got it!

Together once again, Ryuko and Senketsu transformed.

LIFE FIBER SYNCHRONIZE: KAMUI SENKETSU

Nui: Aw, I went through all that trouble fitting Junketsu to you, but you're wearing that lame outfit again? I can't stand it!

Nui used both Scissor Blades and launched a slash at Ryuko. However, Ryuko simply lifted her hand and the attack was deflected.

Nui: Eeeeeh?....

Ryuko: Give it up. I'm never going to take Senketsu off again. Right now, Senketsu also has Satsuki and Mako's blood flowing through him. Compared to that monstrous Junketsu, he's much warmer and comfortable to wear!

Senketsu: *cries* Ryukoooooo! Well said!!!

Ryuko: Hey, clothing isn't supposed to bawl! I'd feel gross if you got all soggy! You're letting all that comfort go to waste!

Senketsu: *bawls* Forgive me!

The pair were interrupted again when Nui tried to strike them.

Nui: Why are you two playing friends? It's so creepy I wanna hurl!

Senketsu transformed his sleeves into blades and Ryuko used them to clash with Nui.

Ryuko: Don't you look down on us. "Friends" is too limited a word. The feelings I have for my family aren't so easily described!

Senketsu: Ryuko.

Mako: Who, me?

Ryuko: Yeah, that's right a girl who's either weak or really damn strong, hell if I know which, who barges into your damn mind before you even know it, an outfit that laughs, cries, and seriously worries about me, and an idiot who, despite his personality, puts others ahead of himself! These incomprehensible goofballs are always giving everything they have to save me! So I need to respond to their stupidity in kind.

Nui: Huh?

Ryuko: You lot only have one thing on your minds: to turn this world into one big Life Fiber. Not on my watch, you won't. The world's much better off being full of these incomprehensible people!

Nui: Aw, jeez. This is why I hate humans. Fine! Take your idiocy to Hell with you!

As Nui lunged, Ryuko took the opportunity to grab both her arms and disarmed her, after which she kicked her away.

Ryuko: My father's Scissor Blades are finally back where they belong!

Nui: Hmph.

Ryuko: What will you do now, Nui Harime?!!

Nui: Hmmm.... *smiles* Nothing.

Ryuko: What?...

Inumuta: What the hell!? Another fast moving object is approaching.

Aikuro: What?! Another!?

Senketsu: Ryuko...

Ryuko: Yeah, I sense it too...

BOOM

With a loud boom a third figure crash landed onto the main deck of the S.S. Naked Sun. As the dust cleared, Y/N slowly stepped up from the crater. He still wore Reiketsu, this time, however, there were streaks of glowing rainbow in his hair.

Aikuro: Out of the fire and into the frying pan...

Nui: Ryuko's Fibers weren't correctly fitted for her, but we had plenty of time with Y/N~ I'd like to see you try and pull off you "miracle" again.

(Y/N): You are... needed Ma'am.

Nui: Hmmm... I want to see you kill them, first.

(Y/N): As you wish...

Nui: Y/N. This time, you'd better kill them.

Y/N bowed to Nui and started to walk toward his former allies.

(Y/N): Life Fiber Command: Kamui Reiketsu...

In a flash of light, Y/N once again transformed into his Kamui.

Ryuko: Satsuki...

Satsuki: Yeah... I can tell.

Ryuko: Y/N is FAR more gone than I was... And now... we have to get him back.
