Ryuko sighed as she waited for Mako to show up. She had been waiting on the bleachers for almost ten minutes. When the brunette finally showed up she sighed and sat down beside Ryuko. "Any news yet?" Ryuko asked as she looked at the sad brunette. All she received was a sad nod of the brunette's head. "Damn it," she said as she looked at the figures that were currently running around the track.

It's been almost two weeks since [Name] went missing. No one had seen him or even heard news about where he was going. To make matters worse, Zero had a theory about what happened but refused to tell anyone what he thought had happened. Ryuko also found herself sharing in the pain. Each day that passed she found more and more of her memory returning to her.

She didn't have much of it only bits and pieces but it was still more than enough to make her heart ache. She then reached up and gripped Senketsu rather forcefully. "It's okay Ryuko I know how you feel but you have to calm down," Ryuko heard the piece of clothing she was currently wearing say. When he said this she sighed and loosed her grip.

However, their thoughts were interrupted by a set of footsteps that was running towards them. They then looked to their side and saw that one of the twins were running towards them. "Xerxes what's wrong?" Mako asked looking at the male in front of her. "It's Zero someone attacked him. He's in the hospital," Xerxes said looking at the two female figures in front of him.

When they heard this the two started to head towards the hospital. When they got there they saw that the others had already arrived. They saw that Zero had several bandages around his eyes and chest and left arm. "What happened?" Ryuko asked looking at the male in front of her.

"We're not sure but Zero was just getting ready to tell us what happened," Satsuki said as she looked at the male in front of her.

"Well to put it simply I got beat by another me," Zero said looking at them. Upon hearing this several of the members that were in the room gained confused looks.

"Then give us the long answer," Xerxes said looking at the male in front of him.

"Well, the reason I had a theory as to what happened to [Name] is because I took my ring off to see all the possibilities of what could have happened to him. Most of them were unlikely however there was one that caught my interest. I chose not to share this information because there is the very real chance that this possibility was just that another possibility. However my run in with the other me just confirmed my fears." Zero said looking at them.

"So who is this other you?" Ryuko asked looking at him.

"Well, he was created the same why Nui was created he is a life fiber that is infused with my DNA. Since he has my DNA and is also me this is what lead to my downfall. I would have been able to easily be able to see and react to his movements if I had been given enough time to react to them. However seeing as how he is also technically me as well the decay metal ring was also showing him all possibilities as well. All it took was him landing one hit for him to have the advantage over me." Zero said looking at them.

"Then just tell us what we need to do so we can kick their butts," Ryuko said looking at him.

"If only it were that easy, You see the decay metal rings are just tools and like all tools they have limits, I could only see so far into the future and realities with my ring. Then there's the fact that there were now two me so it didn't know which one to give the information to. So it put us to the test it had us fight to see which one was stronger. He won and now only he can see what's going to happen. However I do know enough to tell you all that they'll be coming after the twins next," Zero said looking at the two males in front of him.

"They? Who's they?" Satsuki asked looking at the male in front of her.

"The life fiber copy of the twins of course," Zero said looking at them. "However they like me have the disadvantage in this field. The ring will respond to the DNA that is in their copy's and give them the same durability that they have. This is, of course, be no means good so we'll have to keep a close eye on them to make sure that no harm comes to them," Zero said looking at them.

"So what do you suggest we do?" Nonon asked looking at him. The male then put his hand to his chin and thought about it for a moment. "We'll split up into groups of four and two, the twins will pair up with Satsuki and Ryuko seeing as how they're the strongest out of us. Then we'll have two members constantly observing what's happening around them," Zero said looking at them.

"Alright will do now is there anything we should be aware of," Satsuki asked looking at the male in front of her. Zero then looked over to his side and looked at Honnouji academy. "Well let's just hope that this isn't the possibility were," A loud explosion cut Zero off and the other members that were capable of moving looked out the window to see that Honnouji academy had fire and smoke coming from it.

When Ryuko and the others saw this they all ran out the room and started to head towards Honnouji. When Zero saw this, however, he walked over to the window and sighed. "So this is one of those possibilities huh? Well, then we're going to have to play our cards right if we want to get everyone out of this alive." Zero then sighed as he said this and sat back down.

"What do you mean?" Houka asked as he looked at the male that was sitting down in front of him.

"Why aren't you with them?" Zero asked looking at the blue-haired male in front of him.

"I'm not much of fighting unless I'm forced to and if Ryuko and Satsuki can't bring down whatever's attacking the city then what makes you think that I have any chance of winning?" Houka asked looking at him.

"I don't know I guess it's just overall hoping," Zero said looking at him.

Houka then lets out a slight chuckle and when he did he sat down beside Zero "So seeing as how you're almost certain that we're going to lose what's the first thing we need to do in order to make sure we all live through this?" Houka asked looking at Zero.

"We need Ryuko," Zero said looking at him.

"What?" Houka asked looking at the male in front of him.

"I may not know whether or not this is going to work but it's worth a shot. If we can just get her to do one thing then our chances of winning go up greatly," Zero said looking at the male that was in front of him.

When the seven members that had left arrived at the academy they saw a figure standing in the middle of all the destruction a figure that they thought was dead and hoped they'd never have to see again. There in the middle of all the destruction stood the white-haired mother of Ryuko and Satsuki. "RAGYO'S ALIVE!" Mako said pointing at the male in front of her.

"Yes I'm very much alive and I'm here with some help," The white-haired female said as she snapped her fingers and six figures appeared before her, "Everyone I'd like you to meet your alter ego's," The female said looking at the figures in front of her. In front of her stood a copy of Satsuki, Nonon, Ira, Uzu, Mako, and two identical copies of the twins.

Ragyo then snapped her fingers and each of her creations sprang to life and tried to kill their alternate self. "What's the matter Ragyo don't have someone for me to fight or were you just that eager for another beat down?" Ryuko said looking at the figure in front of her.

"Ryuko I tried to create someone for you to fight but seeing as how you're already part life fiber I couldn't create another you. However I do have someone for you to fight and I believe that you're quite familiar with him," Ragyo said as she smiled.

"Yeah, and who would that be?" Ryuko asked as she started up at the white-haired figure in front of her.

"That would be me," She heard a voice say rather close behind her. Without thinking, she then turned around her blade already in hand. When she turned around she saw that the figure in front of her was none other than the male that they had been searching for. There in front of her stood [Name] she wanted to stop her sword but it showed no signs of slowing down.

However, her sword soon came to a stop as [Name] easily stopped the sword. "I'm a little offended that that's how you greet me Ryuko," He said as he turned the female figure around and kicked her in the back. This sent her flying into the concrete bleachers she then walked out of the bleachers and looked at the male in front of her. It was now that she realized that the ring he had always worn was no longer on his finger.

"Listen [Name] I don't know what's gotten into you but you need to snap out of it," Ryuko said as she looked at the male figure in front of her. However Ragyo soon appeared behind [Name] and she smiled holding up two of her fingers her index finger and her middle finger. Each had a long life fiber attached to it. One that lead to the back of [Name]'s neck and the other lead to his heart.

"Come on Ryuko why don't you play with him," Ragyo said as the life fibers disconnected from her fingers and was sucked into his neck and heart.
