Chapter 19: Homebound
(The keyblade graveyard: Seat of war)
The violent sandy winds of the keyblade graveyard's wastelands roared against its barren cliffs as a dark corridor opened up on one of the cliffs with Vanitas walking out of it where he had a perfect view of the damage from the keyblade war.
"Why do I keep coming back here,of all places?" Vanitas asked himself as he looked at the massive craters at the bottom of cliffs for a few moments, until he felt the presence of someone near him. "Are you gonna say something? Or are you just gonna stand there?" He asked as he turned to the man with the unicorn mask, Ira.
"I was actually told to wait for you here. You returned later than expected." Ira said.
"I had an extra stop." Vanitas answered.
"Then I take it your mission in Honnouji is complete?"
"Yeah, I got my power back." Vanitas said as he formed a dark flame in his hand to demonstrate.
"And the book?" Ira questioned.
"*Sigh* That one was a lost cause. Satsuki Kiryuin wouldn't give it up, she even said it might be destroyed." Vanitas responded.
"She didn't seem like the kind of person who would answer your questions willingly." Ira said as Vanitas turned his back to him. "Did you resorte to tourture? Like Ragyo Kiryuin would've?"
"I get it. You don't like me because of where I came from. You were taught that all darkness is bad and you have to destroy it. But right now, we're on the same team." Vanitas accused.
"What makes you say that?" Ira asked.
"I saw the way you and your masked buddies look at me." Vanitas said.
"It's true. We were taught to eliminate darkness wherever it stood. But our goals do align with each other. Now, if you're willing to listen, Luxu would like to speak with you." Ira said.
"Fine, I'll go see what he wants." Vanitas said as he walked past Ira and towards the trail that would lead to the heart of the graveyard.
(The Kiryuin manor)
As the sun was setting over the Kiryuin's mansion, the ground began shaking with great force as it split apart with the primordial life fiber emerging from underground and began floating in the air, while Ragyo stood on top with a handkerchief underneath her feet to prevent contact with the source of all life fibers.
"Take us to ground zero. No rush." Ragyo said to the object of her worship as her cell phone suddenly ringed. "What is it?" She asked as the voice of Rei Hououmaru explained to ragyo about Ryuko and Nui. "Ryuko's freed herself, Eh? Be a dear and have Nui work faster."
"There's something else I must tell you, lady Ragyo. Another keyblade wielder, just like Sora has appeared." Rei explained over the phone, which surprised Ragyo.
"Really? What does Vanitas have to say?" Ragyo asked.
Another thing, ma'am. Vanitas has betrayed us." Rei said as Ragyo grew silent.
"...What?"
"He tried to kill Ryuko while Junkestu was still controlling her, and has confessed to using us for his own gain, he told me so himself before leaving to attack nudist beach." Rei explained as Ragyo didn't respond and tightened her grip on the phone. "Lady Ragyo?" She asked as Ragyo suddenly crushed the phone in her hand and gave out an annoyed sigh.
"Apparently I've given too much trust to Vanitas because of Xehanort. I'm starting to grow tired of these keyblade wielders and my daughters." Ragyo spoke with calm anger as she looked ahead towards the direction of Honnouji academy and an aura of darkness formed over Ragyo. "It's time I've disciplined them, once and for all!"
(S.S naked Sol)
"You're getting a bit of dirty looks, Sora." Roxas commented as many of the club presidents started angry at Sora and Ryuko
"Yeah, I smack around some of these guys back at the school." Sora admitted while rubbing the back of his head.
"Some of those are definitely for me." Ryuko said with worry since all the club presidents were equipped with retailored goku uniforms that were remade by Iori and might all pick a fight at once as Sora stepped forward.
"Listen, guys. I know we didn't exactly get along back in town. But we need to work together to beat Ragyo and save your world." Sora said.
"If you wanna save us, then where the hell is help?!" Takaharu Fukuroda questioned with anger.
"Apparently, there's more than one of you with those stupid keys you got." Omiko Hakodate said as she pointed at Roxas. "That new guy is proof!"
"I've tried calling for help. Roxas was the only one to figure out where I am." Sora tried defending himself.
"Oh quit it with the excuses, human porcupine!" Ryosuke Todoroki shouted as the other club presidents started shouting with him.
"Everyone! Please calm down! Sora's a good guy, what could've he have done that made you so mad instead of listening to him?" Roxas asked.
"He electrocuted me!" Kusanosuke Yaguruma said.
"He smacked me in the face with a giant arm!" Fukuroda said as Tatamu Otte pointed to his face, which had a red mark of Sora's kingdom key on it.
"Do I need to say it?" Tatamu said, sadly.
"Okay, I get it. I've either beaten you senseless or humaitiled you. But it was because Ryuko or someone else was in trouble, and to be fair, it was also in self defense." Sora said.
"Sora is right. You all need to put the past behind you." A familiar voice said as the club presidents looked behind them to see Satsuki and the elite four.
Lady Satsuki!" Hakodate exclaimed in surprise as she and the other club presidents bowed in respect, forgetting about their grudges against Sora and Ryuko. "Whatever you wish, milady!" She responded as Satsuki smiled.
"Thank you for calming down. Now allow me to explain Ragyo's master plan." Satsuki said.
"I thought bringing the COVERS to life was her plan." Sora questioned.
"It's much greater than that, Sora. Ragyo Kiryuin's ultimate objective is to transform the human race into hosts for life fibers and cover the entire planet, turning it into the starseed cocoon sphere. Every product of REVOCS' has life fibers woven into them. The plan was to beam a signal to the clothes to awaken the life fibers. Humans would be converted into energy sources, and their clothing transformed into COVERS, then seven billion COVERS will rise into the stratosphere and shroud the planet." Satsuki explained Ragyo's goal.
"She's gonna make the earth wear a sweater? Talk about messed up." Tsumugu commented.
"I knew she was trying to turn the human race into life fibers, but I had no idea her plan was so epic in scope. Question is, why?" Aikuro questioned.
"Life fibers are an organism that drift through space. Once they reach a planet with intelligent life, they cause it to evolve into a state with more suitable energy sources. The life fibers convert their hosts into clothes and cover the planet, then they use the planet as an energy source until it explodes, scattering their seeds through space until another planet. That is how they continue to reproduce across the universe." Satsuki finished her explanation which shocked everyone listening.
"That's..a little extreme just to get around from place to place." Roxas said.
"Hold on a moment! If life fibers can already move from world to world. Why does Ragyo need me?" Sora asked.
"Because it speeds up the process greatly. You've been to worlds with life on them, Ragyo was gonna use you to find them. Until she decided you were more trouble then you were worth, she must've decided to have Vanitas take your place." Satsuki guessed.
"Until he stabbed that bitch in the back by deciding to leave without her. She must be pissed right now." Ryuko chuckled.
"My god, talk about sowing the seeds of destruction." Uzu joked as Nonon became annoyed.
"Oh put a sock in it." Nonon said as Sanageyama gave her a confused look. "You don't hear anyone else blurting out lame ass puns, do Ya? I had just about enough of your so-called sense of humor, you north kanto monkey!"
"If you mock my hometown one more time, I'm gonna mix you up in lime water and boil you!" Uzu responded.
"Oh get a room. Sorry, I had to say it." Inumuta said as he tapped away at his laptop.
"Stop your infernal bickering! Lady Satsuki is present!" Gamagori shouted as Satsuki smiled in amusement.
"No, it's fine, Gamagori. I rather like listening to their squabbling, makes me feel like I'm home again." Satsuki said as the elite four bowed.
"You sure know how to pick friends, Sora. Even if they are a little nuts." Roxas commented.
"Well, guess that's what makes them so fun." Sora said as Inumuta's computer suddenly beeped.
"Here we go. I've hacked into the REVOCS satellites. Let's have a look at the primordial life fiber." Inumuta said as everyone gathered around the computer as a satellite image of the primordial life flying above the ocean was brought up on screen, with Ragyo riding on top of the giant living ball of thread.
"Ragyo.." Ryuko said with a bit of anger.
"That huge thing can fly? Where is it going?" Sora asked as Inumuta tracked the primordial life fiber.
"On its way to Honnouji academy." Inumuta answered.
"Why is it going there?" Ryuko asked.
"Simple. Attaching the primordial life fiber to the academy's transmitter, Ragyo can send out the signal to transform humanity into life fibers." Satsuki explained.
"So that's what she was building back at the school when I saved you." Sora said.
"So then, all we have to do to stop Ragyo's plans is to destroy that transmitter thing." Roxas said.
"There is one small problem though." Inumuta said.
"What's that?" Nonon asked as images of flying objects on the computer moved towards the image of the S.S naked sol.
"The missiles that'll be slamming into us shortly!" Inumuta warned.
"Huh?!" Sora said, confused as the scene froze and a chibi Sora wearing a pirate hat and beard appeared on his shoulder.
"Avast you scallywag! For a fiery death approaches ye!" Chibi Pirate Sora warned as he disappeared in a puff of smoke as the scene resumed when normal Sora looked up into the night sky to see missiles made of life fibers flying at the ship.
"INCOMING!" Sora warned everyone as they cleared the main deck to avoid the explosions from the missiles.
"Next time we got missiles coming at us, let us know sooner!" Nonon complained.
"Mr. Mikisugi." Satsuki said which surprised the nudist beach spy.
"M-mister?" Aikuro stuttered at being called like he was still a teacher.
"If you don't mind, I'd like you in command of this operation, and have Roxas defend the main deck from any invaders."
"What for?" Roxas asked.
"Ryuko, Sora and I will stop Ragyo. I'll be busy with that, so I cannot command, as well." Satsuki said.
"I'm in! Time to finish what we started at the festival and take Ragyo down. Roxas, can you keep everyone safe?" Sora asked his nobody.
"Sure thing, Sora. Count on me!" Roxas responded.
"Elite four, are we clear on that? Can you follow Roxas' lead?" Satsuki asked.
"M'lady!" The elite four said.
"It's our job to destroy Honnouji academy's transmitter. And Satsuki, Sora and Ryuko's job is to keep Ragyo and the primordial life fiber off our backs! Y'all know what to do? Good! Then let's get this show rolling!" Aikuro shouted with motivation.
"Captain bossy strikes again." Ryuko signed as Satsuki joined her and Sora.
"Are you two ready to go?" Satsuki asked.
"All set! I'm all ready to fight!" Sora said.
"Same here. But are you sure you're ready?" Ryuko asked.
"I have no choice." Satsuki said.
Better hurry up and get changed, then." Ryuko said as she and Sora went towards the edge of the main deck while Satsuki tossed off her coat to reveal she was already wearing Junketsu again and joined Sora and Ryuko.
"You sure you wanna be wearing that again? Isn't it pissed from when I tore into pieces?" Ryuko asked.
"We need every tool at our disposal. Even Junketsu is necessary right now." Satsuki answered.
"Hey, Satsuki?" Sora asked.
"What is it?"
"What are you planning on doing with Junkestu after we beat Ragyo?" Sora asked as Satsuki looked surprised at the question.
"To be honest, I'm not sure. Junketsu is mostly unpredictable. Even after Iori's adjustments to it." Satsuki explained as Junketsu's eyes looked down, hearing Satsuki's answer.
"Well, don't lock it up again." Sora said which surprised Satsuki's kamui.
"Why the hell shouldn't she?! Did you forget what that thing did? It made me and Satsuki go crazy!" Ryuko reminded him of how when the two sisters were possessed by darkness, it was when they were both wearing Junketsu.
"It wasn't his fault,or she? Ragyo had it locked up for a long time, right?" Sora asked.
"She did." Satsuki answered.
"What happened to the two of you wasn't Junketsu's fault, it was because of Ragyo, Vanitas and Xehanort. So don't blame it for what happened to you." Sora said Junketsu was staring at him.
"..Alright. If Junketsu is willing, I'll consider continuing to wear it." Satsuki said as Sora smiled.
"Thanks for thinking about it, Satsuki. Alright, let's get out there." Sora said.
"Thank..You.." A femine voice said that caught Sora by surprise.
"Huh?" Sora said as he looked around for the source of the voice. "Satsuki, did you say something?"
"I did not." Satsuki answered.
"That's weird, I heard it too." Ryuko said.
"So did I." Senketsu said.
"We don't have the time to think about that. Here, take these." Satsuki said as she heard three earpieces for her, Sora and Ryuko.
"Hope I've put this on right." Sora said as the three of them adjusted their earpieces. "Okay, I think it's working."
"Master Sora, Lady Ryuko. Look after Satsuki for me." Soroi's voice asked.
"Will do. Ready, si- si-si-si." Ryuko fumbled trying to talk as Satsuki chuckled.
"You don't have to acknowledge the bond between us. I can feel your blood flowing through Junketsu. I know what you mean." Satsuki said.
"Really?"
"Yes." Satsuki answered as tears started forming in Senketsu's eye.
"How touching." Senketsu said as his voice broke.
"Not now, Senketsu. Suck it up. Okay. let's go! Life fiber synchronize, kamui Senketsu!" Ryuko said as she pulled the pin on her glove.
"Life fiber override, kamui Junketsu!" Satsuki said as she closed the clasp on her sleeve and the two sisters transformed in flashes of red and blue
"Hey Sora. I just realized that you might need some help getting into the air. Need some help?"
"Nah, I got it!" Sora said as he ran towards the edge of the ship and jumped off, much to Ryuko's surprise.
"What the hell, you crazy bas-!" Ryuko shouted until she noticed Sora didn't fall into the water, but started gliding in the air. "Wait, he could fly himself this whole time?!"
"No, it appears he's just floating in the air, with style." Satsuki said.
"Ack, nothing that guy does surprises me anymore. Senketsu shippu!" Ryuko shouted as she transformed into her flight configuration and flew into the air after Sora.
"Junketsu senpu!" Satsuki called out as she transformed into her own flight configuration and flew off after her sister and Sora leaving Roxas and the others behind.
"Okay, guess it's up to us now." Roxas said as Aikuro took the ship's controls.
"All right. Let's set sail for Honnouji academy!" Aikuro called out when the water in front of the ship turned a bright red color.
"I don't like the looks of that." Roxas said as he summoned his keyblades and the water exploded as a giant figure emerged from the water, which was a giant COVER, larger than the ship, colored black with the heartless emblem near its head. "Oh boy…" he said as the giant monster slammed it's arm on the deck of the ship.
"You got to be friggin' kidding!" Tsumugu shouted in disbelief at the sight of the giant.
"It looks like some kind of combat-spec mega-COVERS." Inumuta obvered.
"No way! That thing has to be a heartless!" Roxas said as he pointed at the emblem on its head.
"It's both, blondie. Ragyo cooked some normal sized ones too!" Nonon said.
"It looks like she managed to finally make the perfect fusion of heartless and life fibers." Inumuta said as the titan COVERS raised its fist and gathered up dark energy.
"Oh no you don't! Thunder!" Roxas called out as he pointed his keyblades forward and called down a thundaga spell to strike the titan's fist and stop it's attack.
"I don't think that's going to work a second time!" Gamagori said as the giant COVERS simply raised it's fist again to smash the ship.
"Not good! Huh?" Roxas questioned as he noticed a strange object falling from the sky and crashed down in front of him and the elite four and then suddenly a large fist emerged from the object and struck the titan COVERS, forcing it to sink back into the water from the blow. "What the?! What was that?!" He asked as the object exploded into pieces as a familiar girl with a bowl cut came out, wearing a familiar outfit.
"Mako Mankanshoku, Honnouji academy's fight club president, is back in action!" Mako announced as she took a pose in her rebuilt two-star goku uniform.
"Uh, is that Mako?" Roxas asked, dumbfounded.
"That is!" Gamagori shouted.
"Oh, hell no! Why is that knucklehead wearing a goku uniform?!" Nonon said.
"You lost your mind Iori?!" Sanageyama shouted towards the sewing club president, who was clad in his own three-star goku uniform, which was mostly dark red and had four tendrils on his back, while he was up on the crow's nest.
"My priority is to reinforce whatever troops we have left. Without a goku uniform, Mankanshoku has zero combat strength. But if she wears one, the suit's potential is maxed out." Iori explained his decision.
"Sounds like the right decision to me." Inumuta agreed.
"But, has Mako ever fought the heartless before?" Roxas asked.
"Nope! This is only my second time! Every other time I was just being chased by them." Mako said, casually, which made Roxas sweat dropped.
"Uh, sure. Well, guess we're gonna need all the help we need anyway." Roxas said as he felt a rumble underneath him. "Uh-oh that thing is coming back. I'm gonna need you''re guy's help!"
"Bring it on! We'll send that monster back to hell!" Gamagori said as he, Uzu and Nonon got ready for battle.
"I'll go take control of the ship's cannons. Make an opening for me, so I can blast it." Inumuta said.
"Will do!" Roxas responded as he, Mako and the three of the elite four prepared to fight as the water exploded again.
(Music: Vs titans/ kraken)
"Here it comes!" Nonon warned as the titan COVERS emerged from the water again, not happy after being sucker punched.
"Get ready!" Roxas announced as the heartless slammed it's hand down on the ship's deck to try and squash everyone, only to miss when they all dodged out of the way and allowed Roxas to jump up on the monster's arm and run up it to get close to the titan's face. "Catch this!" He said as he slashed at the COVERS face with his keyblades which made the monster retaliate by swatting at the keyblade wielder with its other hand, but missed.
"Blast that thing back to hell!" Nonon shouted as she fired her missile launchers at the heartless and blasted it with a barrage of missiles which did minor damage, but it did annoy the titan as it charged up dark energy and then released a swarm of dark orbs to fall from the air as Uzu prepared for the falling balls of darkness with a pair of tailor's daggers in each hand.
"Men! Dou! Kote! Men! Dou! Kote! Men! Dou! Kote!" Uzu yelled out his battle cry as he deflected each orb and then reared back his arm. "MEN!" He yelled as he tossed one of his daggers at one of the COVERS' eye and struck it, forcing the titan to reel back as Gamagori jumped into the air.
"Time to bring you crashing down!" Gamagori said as he crashed into the chest of the titan COVERS and made it stumble from Gamagori's tackle. "Now to take back the people you trapped inside!" He said as he placed the emergency rescue suction device on the monster and began turning the machine on, only to no effect as no one popped out of the machine. "What the? No one's coming out!" He said in surprise as the titan grabbed and tossed Gamagori towards the other end of the ship.
"Gamagori!" Mako said in concern, which then turned to anger as she turned to the titan. "You made a big mistake, you big bad monster! Mako missile!" She called out as she pulled out her bat and it shattered as a missile flew out and struck the heartless in an explosion that stunned it.
"Now! Blast it!" Roxas called out to Inumuta.
"Target, acquired!" Inumuta said as he pressed a button and the S.S naked sol's cannons fired a mighty blast into the titan and blew it back in a large explosion while Roxas, Mako and the others gathered around a recovering Gamagori.
"Gamagori! Are you alright?" Mako asked with concern.
"I'm fine Mankanshoku.." Gamagori answered as he picked himself off the ground.
"Here, just to be sure." Roxas said as he casted curaga on Gamagori. "What were you trying to do back there?"
"I thought there were people inside that thing, but the emergency suction device didn't get anyone out." Gamagori said.
"But if that huge is no longer a COVER.." Uzu said.
"Then anyone it caught wasn't absorbed, they're gone." Nonon finished.
"Then there's only one way to make that right." Roxas said as the titan COVER recovered from the cannon blast, but had a large scorch mark on its chest from the blast as Roxas began forming his keyblades into a spiral. "Take this!" He said as he unleashed dual shot and fired it at the titan's chest which caused staggering damage from a burst of light before the keyblade wilder dashed forward in a stream of light before delivering a heavy cross slash.
Now it's my turn! Hi-ya!" Mako cried out as she jumped into the air and smashed the titan in the face with a heavy punch while Roxas was running up it's body until he jumped high above it and held both his keyblades above him.
"How's this!" Roxas said he began spinning vertically and slashed at the titan like a saw while traveling downward.
"Go , go, go!" Mako cried out as she dove down on the titan and smashed the top of it's head with a powerful punch while the elite four watched the fight.
"Hey! The hell are you guys doing?!" Tsumugu shouted from his DTR. "You've been fighting this war naked up to now, so get the lead out! Are you naked or aren't ya?! Toh!" He gave out a battle cry as he began shooting at the titan while Roxas and Mako were attacking it.
"Can't we be nudists without being so friggin' aggro about it?" Uzu asked.
"Mankanshoku and Roxas are on their own up there. We have to help them!" Gamagori said.
"But what can we do? That's not a COVER their fighting anymore, we might actually be helpful if we had goku uniforms." Nonon pointed out, but if fate had heard her, Inumuta had news to deliver.
"Guys!" Inumuta called out. "Iori has just finished the new three star goku uniforms, go and put them on!"
"Talk about good timing! On our way!" Uzu said while Roxas was moving around in streams of light, all over the titan COVERS and striking it with heavy cross slashes.
"HA!" Roxas yelled out he delivered a slash on the heartless' shoulder before moving to it's midsection. "TAKE THIS!" He shouted as he delivered another blow, but before he could move in another stream of light the titan let loose a roar that created a gust of air that blew Roxas back down to the ship's deck while Mako charged in for another attack.
"Here comes Mako-Oopm!" Mako cried out as she was grabbed by the titan before it slammed her back down to the ground.
"Big sis!" Mataro cried as he and his family watched from behind some rubble.
"Are you alright?" Roxas asked with concern as Mako was sticking out of the ground, legs first.
"But mom, I don't wanna go to school!" Mako's voice said muffed while she was in the ground.
"I think we're only making this thing angry." Roxas said as the titan loomed over him. But when it was about to attack again, four objects crashed down on the ship's deck, with the elite four in gold and black versions of their goku uniforms.
"Mankanshoku, Roxas, the two of you have done enough." Gamagori said with his arms crossed.
"The both you get an "A" for effort, though, blondie spikes, slacken-stein." Nonon said.
"Don't worry. We help you pick up the pace. After all, I wanna a chance at fighting you and Sora." Uzu vowed as he held a new wooden sword over his shoulder.
"Iori finished his last goku uniforms, and we want to show them off." Inumuta said as the stars on the elite four's uniforms shined.
"THREE-STAR GOKU UNIFORM, ULTIMATE CONFIGURATION!" The elite four shouted at once when they were engulfed in a rainbow of colors.
"Blade regalia-Secret unleashed!" Uzu called out as his goku uniform transformed into armor with his head and right arm exposed, and his wooden sword was glowing green.
"Symphony regalia-Finale!" Nonon called out as her goku uniform had transformed a skimpy black suit with bones on it and subwoofers on her shoulders.
"Probe regalia-Truth unveiled!" Inumuta called out as his goku uniform transformed into a black suit with his face covered with a mask.
"Shackle regalia-Persona unleashed!" Gamagori called out as his goku uniform transformed into armor that was similar to his original goku uniform as his fists were coated in flames.
"HONNOUJI ELITE FOUR-ULTIMATE BATTLE REGALIA!" The four of them shouted out. As they rushed towards the titan COVERS while it tried to smash them with its giant hands, but missed.
"Snake!" Nonon shouted as she delivered a powerful uppercut on the titan's burn mark from when it was shot by the ship's cannon, making it flinch.
"Dog!" Inumuta shouted as he performed a powerful palm strike on the burn mark and did more damage to the titan.
"Monkey!" Sanageyama shouted as he thrusted his wooden sword on the titan's weak spot.
"Toad!" Gamagori shouted as he smashed a flaming punch on the titan's midsection and started overwhelming the giant heartless.
"All right! Now we're getting somewhere!" Roxas said while Mako had recovered as she was being fed croquettes by her mother.
"Mako's back!" Mako stated as she shoved a croquette in her mouth.
"Wait, you're fine just after eating?" Roxas questioned.
"Mom's croquettes are the bomb, yo!" Mataro answered.
"Guts! Guts! Guts!" Guts barked.
"Well...okay. Ready to take that thing again, Mako?" Roxas said as he readied his keyblades and Mako swallowed one more croquette.
"Mako Mankanshoku, monster slayer is on the scene!" Mako stated as she rushed into battle while Roxas rose into the air.
"Haaaaaaa!" Roxas cried out as a pillar of light erupted and covered him in an aura of light. "Get ready!" He shouted as he dashed forward faster then he did before as he flew at the titan while the elite four were pummeling it.
"Suck on this!" Uzu shouted as he released a whirlwind from his sword that knocked back the titan.
"Here's a little gift for ya!" Nonon shouted as she fired heart shaped sound waves at the titan's head while Roxas had charged up for dual shot.
"Let's go!" Roxas said as he fired a stream of light at the titan's head, which then retailed by firing dark orbs at the group. When the orbs missed, it started charging up dark energy in it's fist.
"I don't think so!" Inumuta shouted as he fired a blue energy net that wrapped up the titan's whole arm. "Would anyone like the honor of taking this thing's arm off?"
"It would be my pleasure!" Roxas responded as he began spinning vertically once again as his keyblade tore through the titan's and severing it as it fell to the S.S naked sol's deck with a crash and faded into darkness.
"Mankanshoku!" Gamagori called as he and Mako jumped into the air.
"I'm on it, Gamagori! Friendship 4ever punches!" Mako shouted which made Gamagori sweatdropped as the two of them began rapidly punching the burn mark on the titan's midsection. "POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW POW!"
"Feel the wrath of Honnouji academy's elite four!" Gamagori shouted as he delivered one final flaming punch on the titan with great force as the titan was starting to lose it's balance.
"That thing looks ready to fall! Finish it off!" Inumuta shouted as Roxas returned to the ship's deck in front of the titan.
"Hey, Mako! I'm gonna need your help!" Roxas shouted as he held both his keyblades by his side.
"I gotcha! Gamagori, throw me!" Mako requested.
"I don't like where this is going." Gamagori said as he picked up Mako by the back of her shirt and then tossed her with all his might towards Roxas, and once Mako got close enough, she spun herself around and planted her feet on Roxas' keyblades as he began spinning himself around until he finally stopped and launched Mako into the air as she held her fist forward.
"I got mad zap in my tap, Bruh!" Mako shouted as she flew forward at the titan's chest with the force of a missile and plowed straight though it, leaving a giant gaping hole in the heartless' chest as it started falling downwards, facedown on the ship's deck as it began disappearing into darkness and a large crystalline heart floated into the air and faded away.
(Music stops)
"Yeah! Now that was a great comeback for the elite four!" Uzu shouted with excitement.
"Don't be too excited. This is only one of many fights to come before the end." Inumuta pointed out.
"Oh, come on, doggy. You gotta admit, we kicked that thing's ass." Nonon agreed with Sanageyama.
"You guys did great actually." Roxas said.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Mako screamed as she fell from the sky, only for Gamagori to easily catch her before she could hit the ground. "Thanks, Gamagori. If it weren't for you, I'd be a pancake right now. In fact, pancakes sound good right now."
"No problem, Mankanshoku. I did promise your family I'd keep you safe." Gamagori said.
"That's funny. I could've sworn you say you'd find her, not anything about afterwards." Inumuta said.
"Yeah, what's the deal with that? You getting all flirty again?" Nonon said with a smug expression as Gamagori angrily blushed.
"I said I'm not flirting!" Gamagori shouted, but before he argued any further, heartless had suddenly appeared and surrounded them, forcing everyone to prepare for battle again as the ship's deck was filled with the minions of darkness.
"Hope everyone still has fight in them!" Roxas said as he prepared his keyblades.
(Near Honnouji academy)
"You sure we shouldn't go back there?" Ryuko asked as she, Sora and Satsuki looked back towards the S.S naked sol, with the titan COVERS looming over the ship.
"We have our duty, allow them to do theirs and protect the ship." Satsuki said.
"Yeah, I trust Roxas to protect everyone else. And they can help him if he needs it." Sora assured Ryuko as he glided below them.
"Hey, when were you gonna tell me you could fly?" Ryuko asked.
"I never had a reason to use it in the city. Plus, I really wouldn't call it flying." Sora said.
"Look! There it is!" Satsuki shouted as the three of them looked forward to see the primordial life fiber, floating on the other side of the bridge that would lead into the city.
"Let's go!" Sora said as he used airstep to dash forward at a faster speed and then planted his feet on the bridge and looked upwards at the primordial life fiber, and felt like the giant cocoon like being may have been staring back at him. "I got a feeling this thing doesn't like me." He commented as Ryuko and Satsuki flew up next to the bridge.
"Hey! Are you just gonna stare at the thing, or are you gonna help us scrap it!" Ryuko said.
"Sure thing, help me get there!" Sora asked as Ryuko grabbed his hand and flew upwards into the air with Satsuki by their side as they spotted a familiar figure on top of the primordial life fiber.
"There's Ragyo!" Satsuki said as the three of them flew closer towards the top where Ragyo was standing.
(Music: Fight to the death~2.5~)
"Ragyo! I'll show what happens when you force me to wear shit I don't want to wear!" Ryuko shouted as Sora let go of her hand so she could draw her scissor blades and charge towards Ragyo at full speed. "This time,I'm gonna rip the clothes right off your back!"
"Today's youth. That is not how a 17-year old girl should speak to her elders." Ragyo scoffed as she pulled a pair of silver weapons from the primordial life fiber and guarded easily against Ryuko's attack.
"What the..?"
"I'll remake all of you, starting from the dress patterns on up." Ragyo said as Satsuki charged in, only to be deflected by Ragyo's new weapons.
"These blades…" Satsuki said as she struggled against the silver needle blades.
"Yes-fashioned from ultra hardened life fibers. The scissors and bakuzan were created based on the same thing. The beginning and end of all things can be found here, within the primordial life fiber." Ragyo explained.
"How about its own end?" Sora's voice said from above as Ragyo looked up to see him diving down with the oathkeeper keyblade and brought it down on Ragyo with a downward strike and forcing her to guard with both her needle blades before she push Sora, Ryuko and Satsuki away as the keyblade wielder landed on front of the CEO. "You and this overgrown yarn ball going down, tonight!" He vowed as Ragyo looked at Sora's feet on top of the primordial life fiber in anger.
"Young man...who said your shoes are allowed upon this sacred surface? Even after you dared to reject us?!" Ragyo shouted with anger.
"Sorry about that, but alien parasites aren't my style." Sora taunted with a smile which increased Ragyo's anger.
"You need to be taught a lesson in respecting beings greater than you!" Ragyo shouted as vents opened up in the primordial life fiber and life fiber missiles launched outward into the air with a few flying towards Sora, only for Ryuko and Satsuki to get in the way.
"Forget about us you uptight bitch?!" Ryuko said as she sliced up any missiles that came close.
"You forget you have more than one enemy, Ragyo!" Satsuki said as the two sisters went in to charge at Ragyo and exchange rapid blows with their weapons while Sora flew in with flowmotion and got into a lock with Ragyo before she pushed him away while Ryuko and Satsuki were preparing some magic attacks.
"Burn!" Ryuko called out as she fired twin firazas from her scissor blades.
"Freeze!" Satsui called out as she shot out a blizzaza spell at Ragyo as fire and ice smashed against her, only for her to blow away the spells with her needle blades.
"Is that all you have?" Ragyo questioned.
"Thunder!" Sora called out as he unleashed a thundaza spell that called down giant pillars of lighting and created a flash of light that could be seen all the way from the S.S naked sol, however despite the powerful spell, Ragyo had only been minorly damaged and annoyed.
"How annoying.." Ragyo said as she began floating a few feet above the surface of the primordial life fiber. "If only you'd give yourselves over to clothing, you'd be able to do this." She said as Ragyo rocketed higher into the air.
"Shippu senjin!" Ryuko called out as she shifted into her blade/flight configuration.
"Senpu! Zankan!" Satsuki called out as she shifted into her own blade/flight configuration and the two sisters gave chase after Ragyo into the sky, once they caught up, they clashed the scissor blades and bakuzan against the needle blades until Ryuko and Satsuki started spinning and turn into energy saws and charged at Ragyo, only to be easily deflected.
"Hahahaha! Is that all my daughters have to-AGGH!" Ragyo groaned as Sora appeared above her and knocked her downwards.
"Here's something special for you!" Sora shouted and he charged up Ragnarok and shot energy bolts downward at Ragyo as she recovered in midair, only to see Sora's attack flying at her and struck her in a firework-like explosion.
"Hell yeah! How do you like that!" Ryuko taunted as she believed Ragyo took major damage, only to be grabbed by the face by Ragyo as she tossed her into Satsuki and forced the two sisters to fall.
"Girls! Ahh" Sora shouted in pain as he was grabbed by the back of the head by Ragyo.
"I told you, I told you all! You can't stop us!" Ragyo said in anger as she tossed Sora downward towards the primordial life fiber as it launched many missiles at the falling keyblade wielder and exploded. "Hahahahaha! You should've joined us when you had the chance!"
"Bitch!" Ryuko's voice shouted in anger as Ragyo looked down to see her and Satsuki both flying upwards with anger on their faces. "You're gonna get it now!"
"We'll send you hell personally for what you did to Sora!" Satsuki shouted as the sisters engaged again with Ragyo and exchanged blows with her, only to be easily overpowered.
"Really? Could you girls be any more stubborn? It doesn't matter how much you struggle, especially now." Ragyo said as she pointed downwards at the primordial life fiber as it changed its course and a life fiber cable shot out and latched on to the S.S naked sol that was getting closer to Honnouji academy.
"Oh my god...it's looking for more people to eat!" Ryuko said in horror as she watched the primordial life fiber bring itself closer to the ship, with the intent of consuming the thing as a mad smile came across Ragyo's face.
"Yes, this is their fate! Humanity was always destined to submit to the life fibers!" Ragyo madly ranted.
"The hell it was!" Ryuko said.
"Not in this world, Ragyo. Or any other!" Satsuki continued.
"It will be! Trust me! And anyone like that boy will suffer if they stand in our way!" Ragyo ranted as an aura of darkness emitted from her, much to Ryuko and Satsuki's surprise.
"Looks like our mom finally went full dark side." Ryuko commented.
"It's no surprise, really." Satsuki said. "You forgot one thing, Ragyo!"
"Oh, really? And what is that?" Ragyo questioned as Satsuki smiled.
"You speak of Sora like he's dead." Satsuki said as Ragyo realized what she meant as she looked down to see the primordial life fiber's cable get severed from the S.S naked sol as a stream of light flew at her and forced Ragyo to guard with her needle blades against a returned Sora in light form.
"Hey! Remember me!" Sora said as he twisted away Ragyo's weapons and attacked her with a barrage of blows. "You should make sure I'm down before you think you've won!" He said as he flew into Ragyo with a charging attack covered in an aura of light that knocked Ragyo back and forced her to fall down towards the primordial life fiber, but recovered just before her body could make contact with the object of her worship and floated above it.
"That boy is getting on my last nerve!" Ragyo said with anger.
"Then you're not gonna like this!" Sora's voice said from above as he crashed into Ragyo with his dive attack and forced her to back away from the attack. "Ryuko!" He called out as Ryuko flew in to join Sora.
"Heads up! Shippu Senjin!" Ryuko called out as she shifted into her blade/flight configuration as Ragyo expected Ryuko to charge at her, only for Sora to grab onto Ryuko's hand and be lifted into the air. "What goes around.."
"Spins around!" Sora continued as Ryuko began spinning while holding onto Sora as he began spinning his keyblade as the two transformed into a gold energy saw of light and launched at Ragyo.
"You dare?!" Ragyo growled as she clashed against their combined attack and gritted her teeth and tried pushing them back, only to feel herself buckled from the force of the attack. "What?!" She questioned as her guard broke and allowed the energy saw to crash into Ragyo and begin spinning a small crater into the primordial life fiber until Sora and Ryuko broke away after finishing the attack.
"That's gotta do some real damage!" Ryuko said.
"Don't speak too soon!" Ragyo's voice spoke with anger as she launched out the crater. "NOW WIPE THOSE SMUG LOOKS OFF YOUR FACES!" She shouted as she clashed her needle blades against bakuzan when Satsuki intercepted.
"I think not!" Satsuki said as she kicked Ragyo in the face. "Sora! Finish this!"
"You got it!" Sora responded as he summoned oblivion in his left hand and transformed into double form and ran at Ragyo while dragging his keyblades behind which sliced the primordial life fiber, which angered Ragyo even further.
"You little brat! You will suffer for that!" Ragyo shouted as she swung both needles down on Sora's keyblades as they glowed gold and blue he guarded against Ragyo and then crossed his keyblades and swung them to shatter the needle blades. "Impossible! Those blades should be indestructible!" She said as what was left of the needle blade fell to pieces.
"Sora! Ryuko! Go for the primordial life fiber's core! I'll keep her busy!" Satsuki shouted.
"RIGHT!" Sora and Ryuko said at the same time as they went straight towards the opening they created earlier.
"No you don't!" Ragyo said as she dashed forward to catch Sora and Ryuko, only to be stopped when she raised her arms defensively when she sensed an incoming attack and looked to see a pair of keyblades that didn't belong to Sora. "Another wielder? Who are you?!" She questioned as she locked eyes with Roxas.
"I'm Roxas, and this is goodbye!" Roxas said as he jumped back and started spinning his keyblades and fired dual shot at Ragyo and knocked back. "See ya!" He said as he followed after Sora and Ryuko and dove down into the crater after them.
"NO!" Ragyo shouted as she watched Roxas jump into the crater. After the former nobody jumped, it wasn't long when he caught up with Sora and Ryuko.
"Need some help?" Roxas asked.
"Awesome timing!" Sora said.
"Up ahead!" Senketsu spoke up as everyone saw the core of the primordial life fiber, beating in front of them like a heart. "We made it! That's the core!"
"Alright! Time to let loose!" Ryuko said as she started slicing up the core chamber and causing the whole thing to rumble.
"Let's do this!" Roxas said.
"Yeah!" Sora agreed as he raised his keyblades above him. "Light!" He called out as pillars of light ripped though the chamber and caused small explosions when they made impact as he returned to normal form.
"Ha!" Roxas shouted as he let loose his miracle hour attack and summoned his own pillars of light that tore through the chamber. "Sora, let's go!"
"Gotcha!" Sora agreed as he got back to back with his nobody and the two aimed their keyblades outward and started firing orbs of light in every direction and doing as much damage as possible. "This place is about to fall apart!"
"Only thing left to smash!" Ryuko said as the three of them looked at the primordial life fiber's core.
"Right, I think all three of us can-Huh?" Sora stopped as he turned to look at the entrance to the chamber.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Ryuko questioned.
"Incoming!" Roxas warned as he and Sora were grabbed by their necks and slammed into the core by none other than a really pissed off Ragyo.
"YOU DARE DISGRACE THE PRIMORDIAL LIFE FIBER?! I'LL HAVE YOUR HEADS FOR THIS!" Ragyo shouted with anger as darkness was waving off her.
"Let go of them, you bitch!" Ryuko shouted as he flew at Ragyo, only for the darkness to blast her back. "Damn, I can't even get close."
"Ryuko! The room is starting to heal from the damage we caused!" Senketsu warned her, as the life fibers began slowly repairing themselves and undoing Sora, Roxas and Ryuko's work. "We have to destroy the core now!"
"Ragyo! The darkness is getting to you! You gotta stop now!" Sora warned Ragyo, only to fall on deaf ears.
"Hahahaha! You think I'm not protected? The life fibers will protect me from any corruption you speak of, nothing can stop them, nothing!" Ragyo claimed as she tightened her grip on the two keyblade wielders. "The life fibers may not be able to absorb the two of you, but I think crushing the life out of you will be much better!"
"Let them go!" Ryuko demanded as she charged at Ragyo, only to be blasted back by the darkness again.
"Be paticate, Ryuko. I'll deal with you and your sister, Satsuki after these two are no more. Then I'll reunite you with your father!" Ragyo taunted as Ryuko grew angry.
"I said, let them go!" Ryuko yelled as she tossed one of her scissor blades at Ragyo, only for it to be stopped in place by Ragyo's darkness.
"Heheha.." Ragyo laughed, which was short lived when the scissor blade suddenly glowed a light pink color and pierced through the darkness and continued on its path to Ragyo and stuck her in the back. "AHH! What?!"
"Sora! Now!" Roxas shouted as the two keyblade wielders summoned their keyblades and pointed them at Ragyo and both unleashed beams of light that knocked her back towards a wall while Ryuko retrieved her scissor blade while it was still glowing.
"The hell? This is new. Senketsu?" Ryuko asked her kamui.
"This..isn't me." Senketsu answered while Sora realized the source of the light.
"That's...Kairi's light." Sora said as the light around Ryuko's scissor blade formed into the outline of Kairi's keyblade, destiny's embrace.
"How do I have her power?" Ryuko questioned as the light around her scissor blade turned into a small sphere and flew into Sora's pocket where he took the crystal piece of Kairi's heart out.
"Because Kairi was helping out." Sora said as he put the crystal away. "Now, let's take care of the core."
"You can try!" Ragyo spoke up as she floated back into the air. "You won't even scratch it!"
"Thought you might say that." Roxas spoke up. "So in case we couldn't stop this thing, we'd go for plan B."
"What?" Ragyo questioned in confusion as the core chamber started shaking and Roxas smirked.
"Be the distraction." Roxas said as the wall of the chamber ripped open with the S.S naked sol came flying in as Ragyo widened her eyes with surprise before she flew upwards out of the primordial life fiber and looked back to see the ship of nudist beach burst out of the primordial life fiber and fly away towards Honnouji academy and leaving the primordial life fiber falling into the ocean as it turned grey and lifeless, and greatly angering Ragyo.
"NO!"

(The keyblade graveyard: The fated place)
Even though the winds blew through the heart of the keyblade graveyard, it could barely be heard at all amongst the rusted, dead keyblades left behind by the keyblade war, remnants of the deceased wielders of the abandoned weapons that formed into a crossroads, with a black hooded figure standing in the middle of the roads staring at the keyblades while Vanitas walked down a road behind the figure.
(Music: Case of the foretellers)
"About time you got here. I was getting tired of staring at these things all day." Luxu commented without even turning to Vanitas.
"I was taking care of business, like you asked me to." Vanitas said.
"Oh yeah, the book. Sorry, I forgot." Luxu said, rubbing the back of his head, as Vanitas looked at him annoyed.
"Moron…"
"Anyhow, did you get it?"
"I tried getting miss princess to tell me where it was, but she insisted it was already destroyed." Vanitas explained as Luxu rubbed his chin.
"Ah, you know what? She was properly telling the truth, the book is properly already cooked." Luxu said.
"So I wasted a whole week there for nothing?!" Vanitas questioned.
"No, not for nothing! You got your power back, and you can summon the unversed again." Luxu said as Vanitas sighed. "Besides, Sora is still totally clueless about us, right?"
"He is. What's your point?" Vanitas asked.
"That's the other reason I wanted you to come here today, you're free to go." Luxu said as Vanitas looked confused.
"What?"
"Go do what you wanna do."
(Academy gate)
"...Ora!...Sora, Wake up!" Ryuko's muffled voice called out in the dark.
"He's out cold." Satsuki's voice said.
"I know how to deal with this. Mako, I can borrow your dog?" Roxas' voice asked.
"Sure thing! Guts! Show him some love!" Mako's voice said.
"Guts!" Guts voice barked and Sora felt something wet his face and slowly opened his eyes to see Guts standing on top of him and licking his face.
"Uh..Huh?" Sora questioned as Guts kept licking him. "Hey, hey! Cut it out!" He begged as Guts stopped licking and jumped off Sora's chest.
(Music: Scala ad Caelum field theme)
"About time!" Ryuko said.
"It's good to see that you're still among the living, Sora" Satsuki commented as Sora stood off the ground.
"Uh, what happened?" Sora questioned as he observed his surroundings, where everyone he met in Honnouji stood around him on the deck of the S.S naked sol, but the strange part was that the ship was parked in front of the school. "Wait, are we at the school?"
"We are. S.S naked sol magened to get us here in one piece." Aikuro answered.
"Wait, how did it get us up here? It's a boat." Sora asked.
"Uh, you thank Mako for that." Ryuko answered as she pointed at Mako.
"It's true! The Ryuko in my head made it possible!" Mako said.
"Yeah, uh, good for you, Mako?" Sora said as Roxas walked up to him.
"Sora, Satsuki has a plan to take down Ragyo." Roxas said.
"Really, what is it?" Sora asked as Roxas whispered the plan to Sora. "How are we gonna pull that off?"
"One of you must leave the battle to make it work unfortunately." Satsuki admitted as Ryuko looked confused.
"Wait, what plan?" Ryuko asked.
"I think it should be me. Everyone needs you more, Sora." Roxas said.
"You sure?" Sora asked as Roxas nodded his head.
"Seriously! What plan?!" Ryuko questioned as Honnouji academy's speakers suddenly came to life.
"Attention, you honnouji academy poop-heads!" Nui's voice spoke over the speakers.
"Oh great, it's psychopath barbie." Ryuko said with annoyance.
"Give it up for yourselves all you want, but the show's not over yet! You and those icky outfits aren't the stars here. You're just the opening act, you sillies! And now, without any further ado, the ultimate grand couturier brings you the ultimate fashion show, featuring the ultimate model! Hope you like it." Nui's voice said as the spire above the school suddenly split in two.
"Guess Ragyo isn't holding anything back any more." Sora said.
"We properly pissed her off for the last time...And this might be our last fight together." Ryuko said as she and Sora looked at each other.
"Let's make it count!" Sora said as Senketsu had tears forming in his eyes.
"*Sniff* The friendship you two have, it's so beautiful!" Senketsu cried.
"Would you quit crying already!" Ryuko complained as Satsuki turned to the elite four and the students of Honnouji academy.
"Great work, Iori. You remade all these goku uniforms." Satsuki gave praise to the sewing club president.
"Oh, I didn't just remake them. I made them even more powerful." Iori said with pride.
"Our gear's upgraded, too. " Tsumugu said as he worked on his DTR.
"We might have neutralized the primordial life fiber. But as long as Ragyo's alive, she's still a threat. We have to fight our way into Honnouji academy, destroy the transmitter, and capture Ragyo and Nui." Aikuro said as he climbed into his own DTR.
"OW! My tongue!" Uzu screamed as everyone turned to trying to drink some of Soroi's tea, only to have burned his tongue.
"Uzu, when did you get your sight back?" Sora asked as he noticed Sanageyama's eyes were no longer sewn shut.
"Ahh, just before we got the new goku uniforms, I didn't think I needed them shut anymore." Uzu explained.
"Monkey's sight might be back, but he still can't take the heat." Nonon said with a smile as she and the rest of the Honnouji student's were drinking Soroi's tea.
"So, we're just taking a break right now." Sora said while Satsuki took a cup of tea for herself.
"Might as well rest up before another fight, I can't help but agree." Roxas said.
"We move in, when you're ready, Sora." Satsuki said, which confused Sora.
"You should be prepared yourself. It's either victory, or oblivion for us." Satsuki stated as Sora looked towards the gates of Honnouji academy, with the decision of going into the school for the final battle over his head.
