They had a boat now, so that was an improvement. Their "sugar pimp" had spent every dime they had on the vast, ocean crossing vessel. He was rather annoying; a bit to mouth for people's tastes, but he was their only hope in gathering the resources necessary to go to Honnouji Academy and rescuing Ryuko from her mother's grasp. Satsuki's body now became what it was when she originally mutated, with her stomach now bloated and her hair was just as disgusting as it was before. Her Nudist Beach uniform strained on her body, tugging on her bosom and keeping a tight hold around her hips.
She pulled on the balck straps, growing uncomfortable with how tight it had gotten recently "Isn't there a larger size?" She asked. Mikisugi gave her a look and shook his head "Our uniforms have been built with a naturally stretchy and durable material. However, your...growing body...has taken its toll on it. If you continue, you may need to balle against your mother naked!" She stared at him and sighed "I might as well, if it's going to cause me trouble." Nono waved her hands in the air "No way Ms. Satsuki! You gotta have some amount of defense when fighting against your mom!" Mikisugi giggled "What?" The pinkette looked at him bewildered.
"W-Well, our uniforms weren't made for defense, though that's obvious." he gestured to the exposed junk everyone wearing the uniform had, along with the pockets that covered the women's nipples. "They were made as a statement: a statement against clothing and all that clothing inspires! This-" The computer went off as he paused "The speech will have to wait, let's go!" he said, running to the other room as everyone else followed "What's going on!" Barazo Mankanshoku asked "The covers are in the area, we have to lock up and hunker down!" Men and women ran up and down, closing doors, locking windows, moving large pieces of furniture and wooden beams to keep every exit and entrance closed off.
Everyone remained still, hearing the sounds of fabric ripping and people screaming in terror. It used to be deafening, but now they could hear every individual yell and cry for someone, anyone, to help them. Nonon hated hearing it, it sent shivers down her spine and caused an untold amount of hours she spent awake on late nights, staring at the ceiling as she laid in bed, unmoving, thinking and processing everything she'd gone through this past month. The only thing she had to look forward to was being with Satsuki, but that wouldn't happen if they continued hiding like a bunch of cowards! She waited for the coast to be clear before knocking shit over in a fit of rage.
"This fuckign sucks!" She yelled, tossing a chair as steam came out of her ears "Why do we have to scuttle around like a bunch of roaches! All I want to do is get on that boat, fuck up Ragyo, then make out with Satsuki! Why is this so hard!" She whined dropping to her knees before crying. Not real crying of course, just the kind you have when you don't get what you want; like a kid not getting his favorite Transformers toy. She rolled on the ground, mumbling about this whole situation being homophobic and that she wants to rip ever cover in half from here to timbuktu. "God, when will this nightmare end!" Aikuro cleared his throat "Well, you need to do a quick reconnaissance mission to see where those covers are, then we can go-" the small pink haired woman jumped up, grabbing his face before squealing happily "You mean it, we're nearly to the finish?!"
He nodded as she shoved him back and cheered "Hell yeah!" grabbing the small blade, Jakuzure headed for the door, skipping gleefully as she opened and closed it loudly, slamming it shut. "She's...noise when excited." Gamagori commented, crossing his arms as he looked at Satsuki "Do you plan on dating her for her personality?" Satsuki smiled, covering her mouth to hide a laugh "I suppose I am." He nodded and walked away, thinking about Mako and whatever trouble she could be in. Ever since Honnouji academy, it's been...lonely, to say the least. She was an intriguing woman for sure and a welcome breath of fresh air. Something that everyone could agree on.
Nonon stepped out, breathing in the newly created rubble as she started jumping on top of large boulders, sliding down rooftops and twisting her body into small crevices, searching for survivors that could have been nearby. Each attack made the city look worse and worse, making it indistinguishable from every other city. All evere flattened into a concrete pancake for people to be found and taken. It was heart wrenching to see; drowned dogs, bloodied children, destroyed homes, everything looked like hell. She hated how it looked, but it gave her every reason to stop Ragyo in her tracks. So she stepped over the corpses, going forward to find anyone who wasn't six feet under.
Cars were turned over like turtles, shopping centers obliterated, with the smell of food turning rotten and the rats crowding around it like it was their last supper; which it was for many of them. She gagged at the sight of the rotting animals, running off once again, getting on the buildings still standing to cover more ground. It helped that she was so small and nimble, because parkour came naturally to her. Dodging and weaving out of the carnage that were skyscrapers. Thick metal shards sticking out of the ground, each one covered in enough rust and diseases to kill in an instant. The only reasons he'd go into one would be for supplies, though she'd drain the remaining buildings of everything useful inside, so she stayed far away from them.
--At the Nudist Beach Base--
Satsuki looked at the pantry, lickign her lips before turning away. The ship would be ready to set off shortly, but she wasn't ready. She had one more thing to take care of. Satsuki began to pass by the hall of doors, going by each one before stopping by the Mankanshoku room, opening it slowly to see the family sitting in a circle, their dog doing some weird trick as they watched mindlessly. Satsuki turned her head and saw what she was looking for: Senketsu. Ever since he was ripped off Ryuko's body, he was left to the care of the Mankanshoku's, who ironed him out once per day. He couldn't be understood by anyone else verbally, but there was a way of communicating with him.
She sat down beside him, sitting up to grab his attention away from the dancing bulldog "Senketsu, we will be leaving to go on our rescue mission soon." The outfit perked up and looked at her "I know that we don't have a great history with one another, and we have no way of truly talking to each other, but I believe it would be beneficial to us both to work together on this; both for Ryuko's safety and the guarantee of everyone getting out alive. His large, flat eyes looked at her. She breathed in and spoke to him about her proposition, explaining her reasoning and the execution of her plan.
--With Nonon--
Nonon stood atop a standing building, holding her hands over her eyes as the sun peered through the clouds "Well, looks like today is a good day-" Then she heard screaming, the screaming of a little boy! She spun around and turned her attention to a small boy running away from the covers, their sleeves reaching out for him. She took decisive action, using her blade to cut the red threat that tethered them to the Life Fibers before landing in front of the boy, recognizing him instantly "You're that slacker's brother!" She yelled.
"And you're that Piper Perri-looking chick!" He yelled back "Who the hell is that?" She retorted, spinning around to see more enemies "Crap, you cut one off, two more take their place!" She then noticed him opening a manhole cover, jumping in after him to get out of the dicey situation she'd put herself in. "So this is how you survive for so long?" She asked, getting on all fours to crawl through the slim spaces. "Yeah, those stupid suits don't bother going down here, so I've been living with some people rather peacefully." he said in a smug tone. She made it out of the sewer system to find a whole colony of people, eating and talking with one another.
The situation almost felt...normal. She cleared her throat and started talking to the boy "Look, your family is with the Nudist Beach group, and we're gonna go on a rescue mission to save your friend so if you-" He jumped at her and knocked her down "You mean it! You know where my family is?" She struggled to get him off her, noticing the "worried" facade was a simple way of just getting a better look at her tits. "Yes, I know where your family is." She grumbled, standing up and brushing the dust off herself.
"What about my sister?" he asked, now becoming legitimately curious. Nonon bit her tongue, saying that they'd save her if they "got the time to do so." He took it as a yes and began to follow her back to the Nudist Beach base, where he tackled his family in a group hug. She smiled softly and noticed Satsuki nearby "So, are we ready to go Lady Satsuki?" She asked, standing beside her other Elite Four members. "Indeed. Alert everyone that we will board the ship, and that it will take off in ten minutes. We will rescue my sister, no matter what!"
