It is finished, but it wasn't easy as I do have a full-time job and like to sleep in on my days off. To the people that stayed with me, and my unpredictable schedule, I thank you.
I want to get this point across, I. NEVER. PROMISED. A. NEW. CHAPTER. EVERY. THREE. MONTHS!
I don't own any of the franchises I write about.
It's been a few hours since Ryuko crashed the Naked Sun and tried to destroy Naked Beach. The now repaired Junkestu was pinned in a frame, its fate depending on Satsuki's decision.
"What do wish to do with Junkestu, ma'am?" asked Shiro
"Modify it and keep it in the lab for me," answered Satsuki.
"You're not going to terminate it!" commented Tsumugu
"No.," said Satsuki, "The battle isn't over yet, and we need every weapon we can get."
"Yes, ma'am," said Shiro as he took Junketsu back to the lab.
"I see you're going to wear Junketsu into battle against Ragyo," said Naruto standing beside her
"That seems like a pretty big risk," said Ryuko, "You couldn't even sync with Senketsu, so you over righting that monster seems slim."
'Ryuko, stop! Satsuki took the risk to try and save you too,' said Senketsu
"Whatever," said Ryuko, "that doesn't excuse the attitude she's given me all this time."
"What do you want from me?" asked Satsuki
"Let me belt you once," said Ryuko, "If you let me punch you without holding back and you're still on your feet, I'll admit that you have the strength to fight alongside me."
'That sounds like something my war-monger of an uncle would suggest,' thought Naruto waiting for Satsuki's answer.
"Are you mad!" yelled Aikuro, "she's in nothing but a trench coat while you're fully synchronized with Senketsu."
"She should be able to handle it," answered Ryuko, "she is the great Satsuki Kiryuin, right?"
"All right then, hit me." said Satsuki as she turned around, "if I fall by your hand, then I do not have the strength to stand up to Ragyo. I shall withstand your blow."
"Show me you're not all talk," said Ryuko as she readied her fist.
It was a tense few minutes before Ryuko pushed off her foot and rammed her fist in to…. Gamagori's face. The giant student was launched behind Satsuki, and from what Naruto noticed, he was still alive.
"Stay out of this!" yelled Ryuko as she readied herself for another strike.
She tried again only to be blocked by Sanageyama and Naruto's threads.
"What is wrong with you people!" yelled Ryuko, "This is between her and me."
"You seem to have forgotten something," said Naruto, "Lady Satsuki may just stand there, but we never promised to stand by and let it happen."
"Even if we just stood by," said Gamagori getting up, "Lady Satsuki would have more then withstood that worthless punch."
"What!" yelled Ryuko
"That punch should have more than killed me, but I'm still alive!" yelled Gamagori, "Punches that lack conviction doesn't deserve to hit Lady Satsuki."
"Guy's what are you doing?" asked Satsuki
"We are the face and limbs of Lady Satsuki!" said Nonon
"But we limbs have a mind of own," continued Inumuta
"We are the Four Devas, Lady Satsuki's mighty spear and unbreakable shield!" yelled Gamagori
"If you wish to attack Lady Satsuki then attack us first, but you'll find that we don't give in easily!" said Inumuta
"What is wrong with you, guy! I don't get you," said Ryuko only to pause at the end.
"You get it now." said Naruto, "you and Ryuko are both being protected by a bunch of crazy people."
"Then doesn't that make you crazy too?" asked Ryuko
"Being sane is overrated," said Naruto
"To defeat Ragyo, I must treat all human beings like pawns or so I thought. I thought the same for you. Ever since you showed up wearing Senketsu, I intended to train you into a powerful asset to use against Ragyo and her people. I made you believe that I was your father's killer to get you to come to me so I can gauge yours and Senketsu's power. If you could hold on to your free will without losing yourself to the Kamui, you would surely prove to be useful when it was time for the coup against Ragyo. At first, I believe I could control you and use you as an asset against Ragyo without telling you the whole truth. I later realize that it was a grave mistake. In the end, I was employing the same methods as Ragyo. It's a given that I would not be able to win like that. The fool here is me. I now understand that the world is not cut from the same cloth. This world is beautiful because it is full of strange and unexplainable things. Ryuko, I hope you will be willing to fight by my side against Ragyo."
Satsuki bowed at the end of her speech with her council following her lead, except Naruto.
"Sheesh, even when you apologize, you crank it up to eleven," said Ryuko as she transformed back, "Now I don't feel like punching you anymore. I, too, have people to protect, and I have no quarrels against beating the snot out of that eccentric mother of yours."
"Good, then that's one thing off of our list." said Naruto appearing on deck, "now that we are on the same page, we can continue planning the defeat of your mother."
"Yes, Ryuko, come." Said Satsuki, "we'll tell you the rest of the plan."
"But not before you kids have something to eat," said Sukuyo as she presented a tray of croquettes made from various animal parts. Everyone began eating them within minutes, no one noticing that Naruto and Ryuko snuck away amongst the chaos.
"So how are you doing?" asked Naruto as he sat next to Ryuko.
"Better, now that I have Senketsu back," answered Ryuko.
"That's good, but how about emotionally?" asked Naruto, "I mean, you were brainwashed and forced to do battle against us."
"I'm good, I'm actually surprised that the other forgave me so fast," said Ryuko as she ate a croquette
"Well, as you said, they're idiots." said Naruto, "but they're your idiots."
Night had fallen, Ryuko and Satsuki were standing on the main deck waiting for the order to attack.
"Do you think the infusion will work," said Iori as he and Naruto were watching from within the ship.
"I'm confident that it will work, Lady Satsuki won't have any more problems with Junketsu," said Naruto with his hands in his pockets.
"Are you ready to make more Goku uniforms?" asked Naruto
"The Elite Four aren't the only ones with three-star Goku uniforms." Said Iori flipping his collar, "and I am not the Vice-president of the sewing club for nothing."
A flash of light overtook Iori changing his clothes to a full-length cloak with four tentacles with sewing machines on the ends coming out of his back. This was the released version of Iori's Goku uniform, Tailor's regalia.
"I trust you have everything covered then," said Naruto as he began to walk away
"Of course, sir," replied Iori as he began to work.
On the top deck, Ryuko and Satsuki were standing waiting for the perfect moment to launch their attack.
"So, you girls ready?" asked Naruto, "I can only imagine what it's like to go against your mother."
"No need to worry. We don't have any conflicting feelings about this." said Satsuki, "she needs to go down for humanity to survive."
"Good because it looks like your mother sent some projectiles at us," said Naruto as he pointed at several gourd-shaped missiles flying towards the ship.
Ryuko and Satsuki looked at each other and grinned, knowing that it was time to put their mother in her place. They activated their uniforms and flew to fight their mother.
"You think they're going to make it?" asked Aikuro from the top deck.
"I know they can, but we may have bigger problems," said Naruto as a kaiju-sized Cover broke the surface of the water and began to attack the ship.
"Naruto do something!" yelled Aikuro as he began to panic only to stop when a clothing cabinet crashed on the deck. Everything was silent before a giant fist came out, revealing Mako in a new three-star Goku uniform.
"Don't worry Ryuko, I'll protect this ship from the bad guys no matter what!" yelled Mako as she defended the ship.
"See, I told we were fine." said a calm Naruto, "Iori, how are the new uniforms coming along?"
"Fine, Sir," said Iori, "If anything, I just beat my old record."
"Still trying to keep up with me," said Naruto with a smirk
"Only the best can be your second-in-command," replied Iori as he worked.
'You've got to admire his determination,' thought Naruto as he waited on deck, 'I think I'll. wait a few more minutes before going out to help the girls.'
In the coming minutes, things got worse for the Naked Sun as the Primordial Life-Fiber sent pods containing REVOCs hoping to defeat the crew. This didn't happen as Mako, to the surprise of the team, was managing to defeat the REVOCs. The confusing part was she was somehow also managing to eat her mother croquettes as she fought.
"That girl just keeps surprising me every day," comment Naruto as he observed Mako as she fought as ate.
"You're telling me," remarked Tsumugu in his DTR, or Dotonbori Robo
The Naked Sun was in for another surprise as the Primordial Life-Fibers launched a harpoon at the ship and proceeded to reel itself to the vessel. As the Life-Fiber got closer, the tip opened up to reveal a series of jagged teeth.
"Well, it looks like the giant gourd is taking matters into its own hands," said Naruto, "figuratively speaking."
"Hey Lady Satsuki do you mind if I cut in?" yelled Naruto
"Go ahead," replied Satsuki, "I think they're also playing your song."
"Good, I better get going then," said Naruto
Naruto raised his index and middle finger and swiped them across the air, severing the tether connecting the Primordial Life-Fiber and the ship.
The crew board the ship was astonished by this feat further impressed when Naruto seemingly disappeared from the ship.
In Ragyo's mind, everything was going according to plan, and soon, the Life-fibers will engulf this world of pigs and spread their excellence across the universe. Her daughters' attempt to stop her plan was fruitless as nothing could prevent the Celestial Cocoon Seed Planet from happening.
"Oh, Ragyo~!" yelled Naruto from below, "I think it's time for the two of us to get to know each other personally."
Ragyo looked down and became infuriated that this blonde pig was standing on the Original Life-fiber with his dirty shoes. Ignoring her daughters and flying in a blind rage towards Naruto ready to rip and tear his body into pieces for his disrespect. Crossing her swords and going at ramming speeds, she didn't account for Naruto to raise his forearm and block her attack.
"Is that the best you got?" asked Naruto tossing Ragyo off his arm, ripping his sleeve in the process, revealing his forearm was encased in a black shell.
"Why, why are fighting this?!" yelled Ragyo, "Life-fibers kick-started the evolution of humankind. They are the top of the food chain while you pigs are just life stock that feeds them. Life-fibers are the ultimate life-forms that will rule this galaxy!"
"You done? Because I'm starting to become bored," said Naruto as he slipped Nuibari from his sleeve and slammed it into the Primordial Life-fiber. Naruto pumped some of his energy in the Primordial being causing it to scream in pain.
"Stop that!" yelled Ragyo as she got back up and charged again in an attempt to stop him.
Naruto let go of his sword and continued to block Ragyo's strikes with his forearms. The Primordial Life-fibers continued to scream in pain as Naruto's sword continued to pulse with a divine aura. It sent out a mental command to the Revocs on the Naked Sun to retreat and redirect their efforts to eliminate the sword that was causing it pain.
"Lady Satsuki, Ryuko, I think you two should go and meet the others on the ship." said Naruto as he blocked Ragyo's attacks, "I'll take care of things from here."
As the two were leaving, Satsuki looked back and briefly saw, Naruto's body started to go black, and his eyes started to go red. Satsuki remembered that this was Naruto's second 'personality' emerging.
I hope you enjoy this chapter and have a happy New Year.
