Greetings, one and all! And welcome to another installment of Kill La Kill: Male Who Invites. I hope you enjoyed the twist at the end of last chapter because now we are going to see the result! Anyways on to the reviews!
THE EMPEROR: Oh really? Glad you got the Bane reference.
superhuman: So your cold and distance to people, but you are warm and supportive to the people you care about? Not a bad personality to have, to be honest.
Assassin5027: Well in nearly all my works there is a Star Wars reference, it is only my second favorite movie series of all time, but I am glad you enjoyed the chapter.
kyrogue23: You will see, though I agree. Izzy could beat Ryuko or Satsuki one-on-one but if they would team up... yeah they win.
HYPE IS REAL: Glad you like the twist!
Now on to some story!
"What's wrong, Matoi? You look like you have seen a ghost.", Izanagi said with an amused smirk, blood dripping down from the front of his head, with a flick of his wrist, his katana shot back to his hand. "You... you... BASTARD!", Ryuko's rage exploded once again, her rage alone send Izanagi flying across the platform and slamming into the ground.
"Wait, isn't that the same guy we kidnapped two days ago?", Uzu asked from down below to his fellow defeated Elite Four. Hoka stated that it seemed so, "Oh crap we have kidnapped Izzy!", Nonon said shocked, no wonder he was so angry with them last night, during the karaoke night he almost didn't want to sing 'Bad Romance' with her! Though Nonon had to admit that he was hiding a handsome face under that mask.
Ryuko charged forward, her Scissor Blade ready to strike but Izanagi quickly recovered, and retaliated with a powerful barrage of lightning that sent the enraged Ryuko flying. Ryuko began to circle the dragon as he attempted to blast her with another bolt of lightning. Ryuko grounded the blast on her Scissor Blade. Angling his katana into a guard position, Izanagi awaited Ryuko.
Ryuko promptly charged at Izanagi and attacked, but Izanagi quickly deflected her's initial attack and her subsequent jab. After a quick flurry of bladework, Ryuko slashed at Izanagi's legs, but he overleapt the attack and flourished his sword to drive Ryuko back as he landed. She attacked again, attempting to regain the offensive, but was forced into retreat by Izanagi's elegant bladework. He quickly seized the offensive, the precision bladework wearing away at Ryuko's defense.
Despite the energy efficiency of her's defense, his's precision was so great that most of Ryuko's defensive slashes missed Izanagi's blade entirely, forcing her to awkwardly scramble to fend off Izanagi's attacks and quickly tiring her.
Eventually Ryuko, was pulled into a bladelock. "Everything you said! Everything you did! Was a lie!? That night we spend together! Did you lie even when you said that you loved me!?", she shouted, only becoming angrier at Izanagi, who got a wide grin on his face. He pushed Ryuko's blade aside, and suddenly jabbed at Ryuko's arm, cutting it across the side. As Ryuko fell back, Izanagi stayed on her, slashing the young woman across the leg and bringing her down.
"I have absolutely no idea what your talking about, Matoi.", Izanagi said, his words cutting her deeper than any blade ever could.
As Izanagi raised his katana to deliver the final strike against Ryuko, another katana reached the blow just in time to block it. Now it was Izanagi's turn to be shocked, he was staring into his own face, albeit instead of shock, this version of his face was filled with anger. "Never thought I would see you again.", Izanagi said spitefully as he relented the attack.
The entire arena was shocked once again, first there was the reveal of Izanagi's face and now there were two of them. Makoto helped Ryuko back up to her feet. "What... How? Two Makoto's?", she asked but Izanagi broke out in laughter. "He told you that was his name?", Izanagi said to the other white haired young man, "Our mothers name, very original Izanami.".
Ryuko glared at the two, "So you did lie to me?", she said throwing his arm off her. "Only about my real name. I did it to try and lure Izanagi out of Satsuki's and by extension Ragyo's gaze. I thought that if he thought that our mother was in the city would try to find her.", Makoto explained, trying to convince her, "But everything else, I did not lie about. Especially when I said I loved you."
"Then start explaining, Makoto or what ever your name is!", Ryuko demanded, her rage building up once again. Makoto nodded, "Alright, my real name is Izanami Ryuu, my mother's name was Makoto Ryuu. I am the older twin brother of Izanagi, we...", but Izanami suddenly stopped when a voice only Ryuko, Izanagi, Satsuki and himself could hear.
"More... give me more...", a cold female voice whispered. They didn't need to looked around for the source for long, as it seemed that Izanagi's coat had come to life. The blood dripping from the wound on his head had reach his coat, three drops had spilled on it.
"No way, another Kamui?", Hoka said in amazement, as everyone else was left in shock too. Screams of pain were soon heard around the arena as Izanagi was forced to his knees from the pain caused by the Kamui. "We have to get it off him!", Izanami said, and Ryuko had to agree, Izanagi without a Kamui was bad enough.
"Remember, pain is just weakness leaving the body.", the voice of Satsuki reached his ears, as the duo charged at the crouching Izanagi, who threw them back with a powerful telekinetic wave.
Izanagi smiled at his girlfriend, before his expression turned back to determent as he slowly raised back to his feet, "Stay where you are and watch! Do not ask the sparrow how the eagle soars! You aspire to no more than the shallow thoughts of commoners! I will not allow ANYONE to beat me! My will is absolute! A Kamui is just clothing and I shall make it bow... TO! MY! WILL!", Izanagi shouted from the top of his lungs, as bolts of lightning struck the ground around them.
As the smoke disappeared, Izanagi had forced his Kamui to bow to his will. Izanagi's white coat tails had got a tattered look, under it he wore a skin tight body suit, showing off his muscular upper body, the leg part of the body suit seemed to be made out of muscle tissue and his boots have fused into the suit. The part that once contained his masked had become sharper and more pointier. Blue circuit lines appeared all over the upper body and the legs. His bowl cut had become larger, reaching down his neck and floating in his power.
"Life Fiber Synchronized, Kamui... Ryuchi!", Izanagi declared as with his will alone he was able to nearly force his twin brother and Ryuko off the platform. "Amazing, I never knew a Kamui could grant so much power.", he said in amazement, "Now where were we?"
Izanami attempted to attack Izanagi by telekinetically ripping platforms out of air and hurling them at his twin. When the Izanagi merely destroyed the platforms by the force of his will, Izanami countered by unleashed a barrage of lightning at Izanagi.
The dragon effortlessly caught the lightning and deflected it back at Ryuko, who deflected it into the sky above. Izanami looked stunned by his brothers new power but proceeded to unleash a second blast, but as a show of his power, Izanagi absorbed the bolt completely, with no need for deflection, showing them the clear futility of this assault.
As Izanami did this, Ryuko leaps into action, unleashing her full power against Izanagi. However, Izanagi's own mastery of his power allowed him to hold off Ryuko's relentless attacks, and seize the offensive. As the duel continued, Izanagi decided to change tactics and in a burst of speed, appeared on top of Honnoji Academy, looking down at his opponents. He smirks; Ryuko not waiting for her boyfriend, jumps onto an extrusion on the wall, and begins running up the side of the building, her Scissor Blade held out at her side.
Izanagi then began to throw waves of platforms at Ryuko, but the young woman used her own power and Scissor Blade to either dodge or destroy Izanagi's improvised projectiles. He walks up to the very edge of the roof before he jumps off, his body parallel with the ground, his katana at his side.
The two pass each other, turning their head to the other before continuing on their way. Taking flight, Ryuko chased after him but much to everyone's surprised, Izanagi stopped in mid air, turning around and sprouting two energy wings from his back. The two clashed in mid-air, the shock of the attack shattering every glass in Honnoji Academy. After another few flurry's of Swordplay, the two landed back on the platform.
Ryuko then felt it, she knew Izanami felt it too, the two of them were exhausted, while Izanagi only seemed to get stronger by the minute. Before either if them could come up with a strategy, Izanagi broke down in laughter once again. "Amazing! I never knew a battle between two Kamui's could be so intense! No wonder Satsuki insisted on wearing her own against yours. After a fight like this... any other fight will be garbage in comparison.", he said closing his eyes, savoring the very memory of this fight, "My brother has chosen a good mate.", he complimented them as he opened his eyes, ready for more.
As he slowly made his way towards Ryuko and Izanami, a teenage girl of medium height, dressed in a richly adorned pink lolita-styled dress with matching boots and fingerless gloves, landed in between them. She has very long blond hair styled in drill-like pigtails, with smaller locks framing her face. Her eyes are sapphire blue, with highlights that resemble a smiling face.
Before anyone could ask who she was, "Izanagi! Get out of there!", the worried voice of Satsuki's reached him. "Why does Satsuki sound so panicked? I never seen her lose it like that.", he thought turning his attention back to the new arrival. "Who in the hell is that chick.", Ryuko wondered, but all Izanami and Senketsu could tell her that she was bad news.
"What is the meaning of this, Nui Harime?", Satsuki calmly ordered to know. The girl now named, Harime gave a cutsie smile, making the three teens on the platform sick to their stomach. "This isn't fair lady Satsuki! You should have told me you allowed other people to fight your dragon!"
Satsuki simply told her that she wasn't obligated to tell her anything, "Don't be like that! I thought we were way closer!", Harime started but Izanagi interrupted her. "I think you are at the right place, the Anime conventions is in the next town.", he said, gaining the attention from Harime.
"Wow, a maskless Izanagi! I always knew you were hiding such a handsome face under that ugly mask! Your silky white hair, your cold pale skin! Your simply breath taking! I am going to be all tingly all day!", she said with a flirty smile.
"I have a bad feelings about this", Senketsu said, as Izanagi now had his Ryuchi, he could understand other Kamui's. "Of all the times for Harime to show up... It's just like her to send her... It's now all up to you, my beloved Izanagi.", Satsuki thought as things escalated even more after this. To convince Ryuko to fight her, Harime showed her a purple Scissor Blade, the other one who had been stolen after her father's murder.
"It was you... you did it?", Ryuko said slowly, which Harime confirmed and with that, Ryuko's rage exploded, destroying what was left of the main platform.
