Chapter 20: The Calm...
12 Minutes Later
S.S. Naked Sun
(Y/N): I'm taking a shower...
Y/N got up from bed and walked over to the bathroom and began to disrobe.
(Y/N): I need to wash the bad memories awa-... the hell?
As Y/N began to undress, he looked in the bathroom mirror and discovered he had a kiss mark with purple lipstick on his chest.
(Y/N): What the fuuuuuuck?
When he opened his shirt further he found even more purple lipstick marks on his torso, this time there were pink lipstick marks dotted in.
(Y/N): ._.
As he opened his shirt further, the kiss marks seemed to be everywhere. A few of them went further down.
(Y/N): Oh my god, no.
When Y/N fully undressed he found that the lipstick marks were all over him and in places he'd rather not think about.
(Y/N): ._. .......I'm going to remember all of this at some point... aren't I?....
As Y/N turned the shower on he turned back toward the mirror and saw, among the purple and pink kiss marks, there was one single violet kiss on his back.
(Y/N): -_- ...Where's that one from?
A moment later, Y/N began to shower and washed off all of the kiss marks on his body.
...
...
...
(Y/N): Aaaaaand it's all coming back to me.... fuck.....

One Long Shower Later
S.S. Naked Sun Main Deck
Satsuki: The battle is far from over...
Ryuko: You're planning on putting Junketsu on again? Do you really think you can truly wear that monster?
Satsuki: I won't make the same mistake twice.
Ryuko: Big words from someone who couldn't even synchronize with Senketsu.
Senketsu: Stop it, Ryuko. Satsuki put her life on the line to stop you and Y/N.
Ryuko: And what of it? That's not enough to write off how high-handed she's been up until now.
Satsuki: ...What do you want from me?
Ryuko: Let me punch you.
Senketsu: Ryuko.
Ryuko: If you can take an all-out punch from me and remain standing, then I'll admit you're strong enough to fight by my side.
Aikuro: You're being unreasonable, Ryuko! Any normal human would die if you attacked them seriously in your synchronized form.
Ryuko: But "Lady Satsuki Kiryuin" is no ordinary human, is she?
Satsuki: Very well. Hit me. Our enemy is Ragyo Kiryuin. If I go down here, then I stand no chance of winning this battle anyway. I'll show you that I can take that fist of yours.
Ryuko: Prove to me that you're not all bark an no bite.
As Ryuko and Satsuki stared each other down, an intense silence covered the area.
(Y/N): What uh... What's going on up here?
Ryuko: Y-Y/N!
(Y/N): Hello.
Satsuki: I thought you were going to take a nap?
(Y/N): -_- I tried.... failed.... tried to take a shower... made it worse.
Ryuko: What are you talking about?
(Y/N): I'm slowly starting to remember everything that happened to me while I was under Ragyo's control...
Tsumugu: Really!? Do you remember anything important we can use?
(Y/N): Nope, but she's a freak.
Aikuro: We already know she's a monster without equal...
(Y/N): Yeah.... that too... -_- So. What's going on?
Ryuko: I was about to punch Satsuki Kiryuin in the face.
(Y/N): Really? Why?
Ryuko: After everything she's done and the trouble she's caused us, she deserves it!
(Y/N): This seems silly...
Satsuki: I am willing to prove to everyone here that I do not lack the conviction to see my goals through to the end.
Ryuko: Here I come.
Ryuko readied her fist and lunged at Satsuki, but before her fist connected, Gamagoori jumped in the way, causing him to be punched in the face instead.
Satsuki: Gamagoori!
Ryuko: Stay out of this, damnit!
Ryuko charged at Satsuki again, only to have her fist intercepted yet again, this time by Sanageyama.
Ryuko: What is with you guys?!
Gamagoori: You dare insult me, Matoi?
Ryuko: Say what!?
Gamagoori: Is THAT an "all-out punch" to you!?
Ryuko: That's right!
Gamagoori: Ridiculous! Why are we still alive, then?
Sanageyama: I thought no normal human could survive if you attacked them seriously!
Ryuko: It's your damn fault for butting in!
Gamagoori: That's outrageous! You held back because someone butted in? A woman like you has absolutely no right to hit Lady Satsuki!
Ryuko: Don't you snap back at me!
Sanageyama: No, we're genuinely pissed off! There's no way in hell we'd let such a half-hearted punch hit Lady Satsuki!
Moments later, Inumuta and Nonon stood with Sanageyama and Gamagoori.
Satsuki: What are you guys doing?
Nonon: Our faces being to Lady Satsuki. Our limbs, too, belong to her. If it's for her sake, we'll gladly be smashed to bits or chopped to pieces!
Inumuta: But keep in mind that these limbs have a mind of their own and can really take a beating.
Sanageyama: We, the Elite Four of Honnouji, are Lady Satsuki's greatest weapon and her strongest shield!
Gamagoori: If you wish to hit her, you'll have to go through us first! That said, it won't be easy to bring us to our knees!
Ryuko: What is wrong with you guys!? You're acting like idiots-! Ah. *looks at the friends behind her* So you have have a bunch of incomprehensible idiots protecting you, just like me.
(Y/N): ... Why are you looking at me?
Satsuki: *smirk* Sure looks like it. In order to beat Ragyo, I have to use all humans as pawns to further my goals... Or so I used to think. That went for you, too. From the moment you two showed up, I tried to mold you so you would be of use against Ragyo's army.
(Y/N): I'm an incomprehensible what?
Satsuki: By having you come after me, I tested both Senketsu's, yours, and Y/N's strength. I thought I could lead you into helping the cause against her without ever telling you the truth.
Ryuko: You bitch...
(Y/N): Really?
Satsuki: But I was sorely mistake. At the end of the day, I was doing the same thing as Ragyo. Of course I couldn't defeat her that way. The biggest fool of all... was me.
Nonon: Satsuki...
Satsuki: But now I know the the world is not a piece of cloth. It's filled to the brim with some pretty incomprehensible things, and that's what makes it beautiful. Please, fight alongside me to protect that beautiful world, Ryuko, Y/N!
Satsuki bowed and a huge light shined out from behind her.
(Y/N): *eyes burning*.... how does she even do that?...
Ryuko: Man, even your apologies are overblown. I don't even feel like hitting you anymore. I have people I want to protect, too, so I agree it's high time we stopped that mother of ours.
(Y/N): *sigh* -_- Saving the world.... again....
Sukuyo: Now that everyone's made up, let's eat!
Ryuko: Whoa! Mrs. Mankanshoku's croquettes!
Sukuyo: Yep! They're packed with all kinds of incomprehensible things! Come now, dig in!
With smiles on their faces, everyone sat down and started to eat Sukuyo's croquettes.
(Y/N): *munch* uhh... I have a question.
Ryuko: *munch* What is it?
(Y/N): Because you two are sisters, does that mean I have to call you "Ryuko Kiryuin" or do I have to call her "Satsuki Matoi"?
Ryuko: That's your question!?
Nonon: Leave it to an idiot to ask an idiotic question.
(Y/N): Hey.... it's a good question. Q_Q
Satsuki: It is a good quesiton. Ryuko, you are technically part of the Kiryuin family.
Ryuko: There's no way I'm taking the family name "Kiryuin"! I'm keeping the one my father gave me, "Matoi"!
Satsuki: I would also like to agree, it wouldn't feel right to take the name "Matoi" so I will also keep my own.
Nonon: I still cannot believe Lady Satsuki is related to this trouble-maker...
Inumuta: I never would have guessed in a thousand years...
Ryuko: What's that supposed to mean!?
(Y/N): You two are complete opposites. Satsuki is cool, calm, and calculating. While you're fiery, wild, and passionate. It's like comparing fire and ice.
Ryuko: What, you saying I don't think!?
(Y/N): Uh.... *sweats*
SMACK
(Y/N): (muffled) Ow.
Ryuko: Idiot.
Sukuyo: Y/N. I have a question for you.
(Y/N): *pulls free* What is it?
Sukuyo: You plan to have a "regular life", right?
(Y/N): Yeah.
Sukuyo: I've been wondering, do you also plan to start a family of your own?
(Y/N): Hmmm.... I guess so. Having a family does appeal to me.
Sukuyo: Oh? What sort of lady do you picture yourself with?
While Y/N was thinking, Sukuyo gave a thumbs up to Ryuko, who blushed slightly and then turned her attention to Y/N. Across from her, Satsuki did the same thing.
(Y/N): I'd like to be with a woman who loves me for who I am, who's beautiful, and.....
Satsuki: What's wrong?
(Y/N): -_- We're changing the topic.
Ryuko: But you didn't-
(Y/N): Changing it!
Ryuko: Why you-!
Mako: (whisper) Don't worry Ryuko, I'll help you!
Ryuko: *blushes* That's not-!
Senketsu: You should probably cut down on the croquettes though, you don't want to lose your figure.
As Ryuko was blushing Satsuki calmly sipped her tea, and smirked at Y/N.
(Y/N): -_- *chews faster*
Aikuro: Haha... Alright, I have a question.
(Y/N): I am not joining an organization called "Nudist Beach".
Aikuro: I was actually going to ask you about your gloves.
(Y/N): What about them?
Aikuro: We discovered that your gloves are made from an unknown material, I'm curious on how they were made.
Ryuko: Yeah, that's right. What are they made out of?
Satsuki: It is already obvious that they are different than Life Fibers.
Iori: Maybe we'll be able to reproduce them.
(Y/N): No you won't. *munch*
Iori: What?
(Y/N): These gloves *munch* are the only thing that's survived my entire life, to this point.
Ryuko: Really?
(Y/N): *sigh* Believe it or not I used to have a whole arsenal of weapons. Swords, halberds, guns, a staff, a ukulele, a suit of armor, a wand, a chain...
Sanageyama: What happened to all of it?
(Y/N): -_- I broke them... They were either disintegrated, melted, shredded, disappeared, fell apart, snapped in half, or some thing along those lines.
Aikuro: So what about those gloves?
(Y/N): They're indestructible. Literally, they can't be destroyed. I tried...
Satsuki: What about their use? They destroy Life Fibers like my Bakuzan.
(Y/N): They're made to help me fight ANYTHING.
Ryuko: Anything?
(Y/N): Have you ever tried to punch a ghost? It's hard... really hard...
Tsumugu: So those gloves are a kind of universal weapon for you.
(Y/N): Yep. I use them to help me deal with certain monsters, like for instance if they're incorporeal, or if they can regenerate.
Inumuta: I see. How were they made?
(Y/N): Hm. Let's see. A long time ago, I was starting to realize that my weapons were no longer getting the job done, so I spent the next three weeks gathering materials for a weapon I could use. The thread is a kind of metallic webbing from a giant inter-dimensional metal spider. The coolest thing ever, even if it did try to eat my head.
(Y/N): They were forged together by a big blacksmith guy from a land long forgotten.
(Y/N): And they were enchanted by a scottish guy...
Ryuko: "Enchanted" by a scottish guy?
(Y/N): -_- Yep. When I asked him what he was doing, he looked me in the eyes and yelled; CELTIC RUNES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Inumuta: I would like to believe you're making that up, but the photos we saw of you would say; you're probably not...
Iori: So I guess I won't be able to replicate them, huh?
(Y/N): Don't feel bad, getting these things made was far more trouble than it should have been... -_- *munch*
Satsuki: Filled with surprises, aren't you?
Ryuko: I want to hear some stories about those...
(Y/N): -_- *munch*

A Few Hours Later
S.S. Naked Sun Storage Area
Satsuki, Y/N, Iori, Aikuro, and Tsumugu, met in the large storage room that Iori was using as his sewing lab aboard the S.S. Naked sun.
(Y/N): So, we here to talk about our Kamui?
Satsuki: Indeed. Now that Iori has had time to study them, we will now see if they can be worn again. Iori.
Iori: Yes. Please observe.
Iori shot a couple needles into Junketsu, who was restrained in a case.
Iori: What I just shot into Junketsu was Lady Satsuki's blood, Ryuko's blood, and a dash of Senketsu's Life Fibers.
Aikuro: So you're trying to forcibly dye Junketsu in Lady Satsuki's colors by using Senketsu's powers?
Satsuki: Rather than force my arms through an outfit I can never truly wear, it'd be better to just tailor it to my needs. It's too late to care about appearances now.
Tsumugu: The only thing on your mind is victory, huh? Looks like you've shed everything unnecessary. You're a full-fledged Nudist in spirit, too.
Satsuki: ...What of Reiketsu?
Tsumugu: You're ignoring me!?
(Y/N): Yeah, what's the verdict on her?
The group walked over to the case that Reiketsu was being held in.
Reiketsu: Y/N! Get me out of here! I want to be worn again!!!
Iori: Ah, yes. Reiketsu was designed differently than Junketsu and Senketsu. While both Satsuki's and Ryuko's Kamui were designed to allow the wearer to maintain their mind as they used them, Reiketsu was designed to do the exact opposite.
Satsuki: *glares* It was designed to make its wearer a slave...
Reiketsu: I swear I won't try anything! I just want to be worn by you!
Iori: Indeed, my attempts at trying to insert Ryuko's blood as well as Senketsu's Life Fibers as proven useless, Reiketsu would immediately reject them after insertion. In fact, Reiketsu got downright hostile when we tried it...
Reiketsu: Who would want to ingest the blood of a skank and the fibers of a dish rag!?
(Y/N): *sigh*
Tsumugu: So Reiketsu is too dangerous to be kept alive...
Iori: Not quite. After the failed tests with Ryuko's blood we tried Y/N's blood.
Aikuro: What happened?
Iori: Not only did Reiketsu calm down, it became docile.
Reiketsu: Ah. That was so delicious. I want more! MORE MORE!!
Satsuki: So, Reiketsu can only be controlled by Y/N, huh?
Iori: Correct.
Satsuki: Then it will be Y/N that shall determine Reiketsu's fate.
(Y/N): Hmmmm...
Reiketsu: P-please put me back I on. I swear you won't regret it!
Tsumugu: Remember, that thing tried to eat you not too long ago.
Reiketsu: Fuck off you oversized molester!!!
(Y/N): Stop it...
Satsuki: Is she talking? What's she saying?
Reiketsu: You're a stupid, uncultured!-....
(Y/N): Nothing very nice... -_-
Satsuki: The decision is yours.
(Y/N): Hmmm..... Reiketsu, can you transform into different configurations like Senketsu?
Reiketsu: Huh? O-of course I can!
Tsumugu: What are you getting at here, Y/N?
(Y/N): Can you get me to fly?
Aikuro: That's your question!?
Reiketsu: Yes! Yes I can!
Tsumugu: You should probably think this mor-
(Y/N): Deal. Let's do this.
Y/N pulled Reiketsu out of her case and put her on.
Reiketsu: Yes! Oh, this feels good. I love this so much.
(Y/N): Welp. I'm okay.
Tsumugu: You'd better be able to handle it...
Satsuki: *smirk* From what I have seen, he can. Now, what of your other projects, Iori.
Iori: Rest assured. Our collection of Life Fibers went much better than expected. I will now begin producing Ultima Uniforms.
Aikuro: Will you be able to do it by yourself?
Iori: I'm all the help I need!
Iori brought his color up, revealing three black stars.
Iori: Three-Star Ultima Uniform: Order Regalia!
THREE-STAR ULTIMA UNIFORM ORDER REGALIA
(Y/N): Of course he has a Three-Star Uniform...
Reiketsu: Who cares!? We're together again!~
(Y/N): Don't make this any more weird than it needs to be...

One Hour Later
S.S. Naked Sun Command Deck
Satsuki: Ragyo Kiryuin's ultimate objective it to turn every last human into Life Fibers and cover this planet with them. It's called the "Celestial Seed Cocoon Planet" Plan.
(Y/N): -_-
Satsuki: Every REVOCS Inc. product is fitted with Life Fibers. Those Life Fibers will awaken once the signal is sent out, turning the helpless masses into energy sources and transforming all clothes into COVERS. Then seven billion COVERS will rise up into the stratosphere and completely engulf this planet.
Tsumugu: Is she trying to dress up the Earth? That's absurd.
Aikuro: I'd heard that she was trying to turn humanity into Life Fibers, but I had no idea her plan was so massive in scale. But for what purpose?
Satsuki: Life Fibers are a lifeform that wander across space. When they reach a planet inhabited by intelligent life, they have it evolve to the point where it's a suitable energy source for them. After that, they turn them into Fibers and cover up the planet, and then turn the planet itself into an energy source by causing it to explode, using that momentum to spray new seed across space. That is how they have been able to propagate throughout the universe.
Sanageyama: Man, that sure is one bombastic plan.
Nonon: There he goes again. How are you so nonchalant about blurting out things that everyone else is trying not to say? You Northern Kanto monkeys and your lack of tact really drive me up the wall.
Sanageyama: If you insult Northern Kanto one more time, I'll turn you into soup!
Inumuta: Good grief. What is with this incoherent prattle?
Gamagoori: Knock it off, you two! Do not forget the you are in the presence of Lady Satsuki!
As the Elite Four argued with each other, Y/N stood quietly, his mind elsewhere.
(Y/N): Hmmm.... Does this count as an alien invasion or a science experiment gone wrong?...
Reiketsu: Y/N. What are you thinking about?
(Y/N): Hm? Oh. Nothing really important. I'm just trying to catalogue this whole thing.
Reiketsu: Catalogue?
(Y/N): Well, when you fight as many things as I have, you start to notice patterns in these "world domination" plans. I just like to catalogue these things so I can easily look them up later if I want to reminisce.
Reiketsu: You can catalogue me as your 'best outfit'!
(Y/N): I'm not too keen on wearing a suit everywhere though...
Reiketsu: Nonsense! I can be worn for any occasion!
(Y/N): Uhuh.
Y/N and Reiketsu were brought back to reality when Inumuta's computer beeped.
Inumuta: All right. I've managed to hack into REVOCS' communication satellite. Here come some live footage of the original Life Fiber.
Inumuta's screen zoomed in to show Ragyo atop the Original Life Fiber.
Ryuko: Ragyo...
Inumuta: The original Life Fiber is headed toward Honnouji Academy. Our prediction was right on the money.
Ryuko: Honnouji Academy?
Satsuki: That's right. Once the Original Life Fiber is attached to the massive transmitter installed at Honnouji Academy, it'll send out the signal that will turn all of mankind into Life Fibers.
Tsumugu: You mean we need to destroy that transmitter in order to put a stop to her plans?
(Y/N): Question. What's her altitude?
Inumuta: About 500ft.
(Y/N): Is she getting higher?
Inumuta: No.
Ryuko: Why do you want to know her altitude?
(Y/N): No reason...
Inumuta: Oh, there's just one thing we weren't expecting.
Nonon: What is it?
Inumuta: We've got incoming! They're about to hit the ship!
Moments later, large spears made of Life Fibers struck the ship.
Nonon: Seriously, could you not report these things at the last second!?
Satsuki: Mr. Mikisugi.
Aikuro: "Mr."!?
Satsuki: I'd like you to take charge of our strategy from now on.
Aikuro: What are you...
Satsuki: I will go with Ryuko and Y/N to stop Ragyo. Someone who battles on the frontline is not fit to be commander.
Aikuro: I see.
Satsuki: Did you get that, Elite Four?
Elite Four: Yes!
Aikuro: All right! We'll focus on destroying the transmitter at Honnouji Academy. Satsuki, Ryuko, and Y/N, will keep Ragyo Kiryuin and the Original Life Fiber at bay. This will be a two-pronged operation! Battle stations, everyone!
Ryuko: There you go again, ordering people around.
Satsuki: Aren't you going?
Ryuko: What about you?
Satsuki: I have no choice but to go.
Ryuko: Then hurry up and change.
_____
_____
After Satsuki changed, Ryuko, Satsuki, and Y/N prepared to fly off towards their fight.
Ryuko: I still can't believe you'd put on Reiketsu again...
(Y/N): What? She said she could change into an aerial form.
Ryuko: I could have just pick you up.
Reiketsu: There is no way in hell I'm letting my wearer get carried around by a harlot and her outfit!
Ryuko: Hey!
(Y/N): You two need to stop, please.
Senketsu: Y/N, you need to take control of your Kamui, it's becoming unruly...
Reiketsu: Shut up you dish rag!
(Y/N): *sigh* -_-
Soroi: Lady Ryuko, please take care of your sister.
Ryuko: I gotcha. Let's go, S-S-Sis-
Satsuki: You don't need to force yourself to act like my sister. Your blood's flowing through Junketsu right now. That's enough for me.
(Y/N): Oh yeah, before I forget. Is there anything you'd want to tell your mother before she dies? Because she is NOT living through tonight. She is going to die. She will be SUPER dead. So, I'm just wondering if there's anything you'd want to say to her.
Satsuki: Confident aren't you?
(Y/N): I'm being serious, is there anything you'd like to tell her?
Satsuki: Hm... No, no there isn't.
(Y/N): Ryuko?
Ryuko: I... I don't know... Maybe I'll think of something later.
(Y/N): Alright. Now we can go.
Ryuko: Life Fiber Synchronize: Kamui Senketsu!
Satsuki: Life Fiber Override: Kamui Junketsu!
(Y/N): Life Fiber Command: Kamui Reiketsu.
Ryuko: Alright! Let's Go! Senketsu Shippu!
Satsuki: *smirk* Junketsu Shippu!
Senketsu: So you've gained my abilities as well?
Ryuko: Awesome!
Satsuki: Y/N, let's go!
(Y/N): I finally get to fly! Reiketsu Shippu!
After a bright flash of light Reiketsu configured itself into its aerial form.
(Y/N): I-it's...
Satsuki: Those are...
Ryuko: Is that?....
Senketsu: So that's Reiketsu's flying mode looks like...
(Y/N): Angel Wings!?!?
Reiketsu: Yes. Witness perfection.
(Y/N): I thought you'd transform into jet engines or something!
Ryuko: Pffffff- HAHAHAHAHA
Reiketsu: I am elegance and style perfected! It only makes sense that my aerial form matches my own design.
(Y/N): Jet wings would have worked too... Q_Q
Satsuki: I think you look good with those wings.
(Y/N): Oh. Thank you.
Ryuko: H-Hey! I think you look pretty good with them too.
(Y/N): You were just laughing at them. -_-
Ryuko: In a good way!
(Y/N): -_-
Senketsu: Smooth, Ryuko.
Reiketsu: Hahaha!
Ryuko: S-Shut up!
(Y/N): You guys need to stop...
Satsuki: *smirk at Ryuko* Indeed.
Ryuko: Hmph.
Satsuki: It's time that we face our true enemy...
Ryuko: Ragyo.
(Y/N): -_- ....... Angel wings.......
