Yosh. So a couple weeks ago, I decided to create this fic. Of course, this isn't about the vivacious Ryuko, the uncontrollable Mako, or the domineering Satsuki. Instead, it's about Monkey Boy Sanageyama. Yeah. Totally out of place, right?

Nonetheless, while the cast was a very colorful bunch, I chose the guy for a variety of reasons. But I'll talk about those later.

In addition, this is an AU through and through. While I don't spoil the ending, there will be spoilers sprinkled throughout the story. So it is recommended that you watch the entire show before reading this.

Anyway, here. Enjoy the first chapter. And I apologize for any grammatical errors.

NOTE - Single-Lined Italics stand for Sanageyama's thoughts.

DISCLAIMER - I DO NOT OWN KILL LA KILL. IF I DID, GAMAGOORI WOULD BE DATING MAKO.

Session 1 –

Stand Up (And Fall)

Honnouji Academy. The greatest school ever established in Japan. Top test scores. Top sports teams. It was legendary. This behemoth of an educational institution toppled and conquered everything in its path.

Whether it was against other schools or the very government itself, Honnouji Academy bypassed them all. Ultimately, it began acting independently without any interference despite the fact it is situated in the middle of Tokyo, Japan's well-known capital.

Before this beast was a young teen.

"So. This is it, eh?"

He held a prideful smirk.

"I'm going to conquer you, Honnouji Academy."

He strutted with swagger through the school's empty courtyard. Along with his dark-green mop of a hairstyle, a light-green headband wrapped around his forehead fluttered through the wind. A kendo stick rested lightly on his shoulder as he gripped its handle tightly – almost as if he was ready to pounce at anything that obstructed his way.

"HOI, YOU THERE!"

He stopped, alarmed at the sudden booming voice.

Twisting his neck, he gleamed behind whatever interrupted his charge toward the academy.

"Eh? Wh-"

He paled.

A gorilla of a bo – no no – a man stood tall a few feet away. Pierced ears. Dark skin. Blonde hair. And did he mention he looked like a gorilla?

"WHAT IS WITH YOUR ATROCIOUS UNIFORM? IS THAT HOW A PRIDEFUL HONNOUJI ACADEMY STUDENT SHOULD WEAR HIS OUTFIT? LIKE A MONKEY?!"

He didn't need this. If he was going to be lectured about the way he wore the uniform, he'd rather walk away and go to class.

And so he did just that.

"Tch."

Ignoring the large presence behind him, he walked forward to the school's entrance – except a lot more properly. Arms straight. Back tall. No more strutting like a delinquent or else King Kong was going to pop his eardrums.

"HOI!"

He kept walking.

"HOI!"

And kept on.

"I SAID HOI!"

And ke-

"I SAID HOLD IT."

He stopped as soon as he felt the gorilla's iron grip on his shoulder.

"Is that how you show respect to your student vice president?"

Student vice president?

The young teen smirked inwardly.

Turning his body 180 degrees, he thwacked the vice president's hand with his kendo stick. As soon as he let go, he jumped away from the towering body. His eyes glowed in excitement.

This has to be my lucky day.

"YOU DARE ATTACK A STUDENT OFFICIAL?" The man seethed angrily, readying his fists. "WHAT IS YOUR NAME?"

"Sanageyama Uzu, nice to meet you," he smirked arrogantly.

[SANAGEYAMA UZU – SECOND-YEAR]

"So you're the transfer student." The man glared fiercely. "Gamagoori Ira, nice to meet you too."

[VICE PRESIDENT GAMAGOORI IRA – SECOND-YEAR]

Correction. He isn't a gorilla. He's a toad.

Sanageyama nearly sputtered. "Gamagoori. I am here to defeat whoever rules this school and conquer it."

"Conquer? Pah, how admirable," he scoffed. "However… AS HONNOUJI ACADEMY'S LIVING SHIELD, I WON'T ALLOW SUCH TREACHERY."

Inhaling a gratuitous amount of oxygen, Gamagoori buffed up his chest and punched his knuckles together.

"FISTS OF FURY!"

[FISTS OF FURY]

Gamagoori's technique – Fists of Fury – utilizes his strength but emphasizes speed and stamina. Due to his punches being at a high- paced velocity, most opponents would be pummeled to death.

Unfortunately for him, Sanageyama was able to dodge most of them.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA-"

Gamagoori roared – not like a toad – but as a vicious toad.

"ORA!"

As he launched his final punch, Sanageyama leaned back and smacked his kendo stick into Gamagoori's side.

He heard the sound of metal before pulling back his weapon and leaping a few feet away again.

"Body armor?!" Sanageyama spoke, astonished.

"Heh. So you realized it?" Gamagoori chuckled. "It was custom-made by my uncle."

Patting down the side Sanageyama hit, Gamagoori spoke again. "As you can see, I am unscathed by your hit. Try me and see the fruits of your labor."

Sanageyama glared, readying his weapon.

A few seconds went by, the wind blew ominously. The dramatic tension rose to its peak. And both fighters sized each other up, ready to witness their opponent's capabilities.

"HAH!"

Sanageyama ran to Gamagoori with a battle cry.

"MEN!"

Thwack!

"DOU!"

Thwack!

"KOTE!"

Thwack!

"MEN!"

Thwack!

"DOU!"

"KOTE!"

Thwack!

"ME-"

"ORAAAAAAAAA!"

[FIST OF MIGHT]

"GUH!"

An uppercut connected Sanageyama's chest, causing him to fly high into the air.

In a few seconds, he came crashing down to Earth.

Dust flew everywhere, surrounding the young teen's fallen body.

Gamagoori stood firm, uncaring that the dust flew into his eyes. He never blinked.

As it settled however, he saw that Sanageyama was standing. He wasn't left unharmed though. Dirt riddled his uniform and the once proud figure was gasping for air.

"Impeccable swordsmanship, Sanageyama-san."

Gamagoori nearly staggered, his knee almost touching the ground.

"I'm-I'm not finished yet," Sanageyama breathed harshly. Gripping his kendo stick once again, he charged at Gamagoori.

"ME-"

"Stop right there!"

A bright light shined atop the school building. A holy, divine light – a light that was only worthy for the gods. Izanami? No. Amaterasu? No.

"Satsuki-sama!"

Gamagoori kneeled before the illuminating brilliance.

Sanageyama looked up.

And suddenly.

Everything stopped.

Who was she?

Who was this dazzling person?

Who was this beautiful goddess?

Who was this vivacious babe?

Why is my heart beating so fast?

And the cousin of death captured him once more.

TO BE CONTINUED.

As you can see, I was inspired by some of the stylistic techniques used by some of the authors, such as...

[MOIDERAH]

You know... the guy who "Transfer Student: Satsuki Matoi."

So props to him. Woop.

Anyway, one the first and foremost reasons why I used Sanageyama as the main character was that I can't write stories from a female perspective effectively. While it seemed like good practice, I rather not do it for my first Kill la Kill fic.

I can't really think of anything else to say. BUT. I do have another chapter to present.

Yay.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

And I'll see you on the 2nd one.

Maybe.
