Their base began to transform, twisting and turning metal as the shore line was opened and their new battleship went on its maiden voyage; the SS Naked Sun took off without a hitch, unveiling its large platform as it connected itself together seamlessly. The water rushed towards them, lifting the massive ship as the engine came to life, pumping out air to propel them forward as everyone onboard held on, smashing through waves as they started their journey towards Honnouji Academy. Once everything's settled, Satsuki sat down to enjoy a cup of tea that was prepared by her butler. "Thank you again." She spoke softly. Satsuki decided to get rid of her Nudist Beach uniform, instead wearing a large cloak. Both for comfortability and the simple pleasure of wearing a blanket.
Everyone was tense. They don't know what to expect, not when the sea waves sprayed the earth's salt every few minutes, rocking them from side to side. Many of them did not have the sea legs to stand still, resulting in a small number of the crew growing ill and throwing up over the side of the ship. Satsuki had no such problem, at least, initially. However, her weight began to make her feel tipsy, making it awfully difficult to keep a stern look while changing into all shades of green. "Oh, not again." She whimpered softly, grasping her large stomach as it growled and trembled. Loudly.
Nonon tried to get everyone's attention away from Satsuki, but her groaning and physical pain was noticed by just about everyone. The Mankanshoku's couldn't do anything but try to make her comfortable, which didn't help much. "Ooohhhh." She moaned, curling up into a ball as Jakuzure sat beside her "It's okay, we're almost there." Satsuki looked at her and breathed heavily "I'm...useless on this mission. Just throw me overboard...I'll float." Nonon didn't know if she was joking or not, but decided it was best not to laugh regardless. "Don't be like that. We need you Lady Satsuki. We'll get through this, I promise." Satsuki faced her and nodded slowly, going back to her fetal position.
Aikuro remained on the bridge, standing in front of the steering wheel with his arms crossed, deep in thought as he planned their next moves. Satsuki was definitely helpful, but she was on the team rescuing Ryuko, while the Elite Four and his men were charged with distracting Ragyo and Nui. It was going to have to be a quick in and out mission, with minimal casualties and a quick getaway so they could plan their next move. What that next move was, he wasn't one hundred percent sure. All he could be certain of was that with Ryuko on their side, they could accomplish whatever hairbrained scheme they came up with.
The school eventually came into view, the mast of the ship pointing directly at Honnouji Academy as Nonon shook Satsuki away from her feverish sleep "We're here now. You gotta get into your fighting pose!" Satsuki snored loudly, lurching forward to wake herself up as her eyes blinked individually. "Ryuko?" She wondered out loud, stretching as her stomach reminded her where she was "Ohhh, damn it…" She tried standing up, leaning on Gamagori for stability as she looked at Honnouji Academy "Let's get this over with before I puke my guts out." She whimpered, her hand placed firmly on her belly. Nonon looked at her sympathetically as she locked arms with her and walked towards Mikisugi.
"Alright everyone! We will be making landfall shortly! Both our land troops and this ship will most likely be under heavy fire! So I kindly ask that any remaining members on this carrier remain inside of the hull, and that our land troops move quickly! We have to go inside, fight against a hoard of mindless drones, then get the hell out of dodge! So this will all rely on unity, precision, speed and-" He was cut off by a loud, ear piercing sound. Everyone spun their heads around as a free falling object made a b-line straight towards them, crashing onto their craft with a deafening thud. In the crater stood Ryuko, dawning with Junketsu and looking more pissed than usual.
Minutes Earlier
Ragyo watched the SS Naked Sun from atop the Honnouji Academy tower, standing beside Nui and her daughter as she laughed quietly. "Look at those fools, trying to rescue you." She looked to Ryuko, who was caressing Nui's cheek with a sly smile. "You're happy here, aren't you daughter?" She said, her voice being as calm and poised as ever, even if she wanted to tear Satsuki's throat out. "Would you mind tending to them? I really need to get back to the Life Fibers; they need some...tending to." She gave Ryuko a kiss on the cheek as the tomboy licked her lips "You got it Mom." She then lip locked with Nui before launching herself into the air, breaking the sound barrier as she tore off through the sky.
Ryuko spun her body, staring right at the SS Naked Sun before darting towards the ship, going at Mach speed as she prepared for an abrupt landing, making sure to be near Satsuki Kiryuuin so she could taunt her before ultimately ending her sister. She crashed onto the tarmac, hearing the ship groan in pain with her arrival. A cloud of dust and broken chunks flew through the air, blinding everyone as she remained still, craning her neck from side to side as she heard a rather satisfying pop "Let's do this shit." She told herself, gripping her Scissor Blade with deadly intent as the smog cleared away.
Now, you're looking at now. Everything that happens now is happening now.
Satsuki nearly flew back off her feet, her blanket tarp fluttering in the wind as she pushed it down. Ryuko snarled, making eye contact with Satsuki as she walked up to her, wearing a shit-eating-grin on her face. "Well, look who it is. Misses know it all has finally taken a step down from her golden throne. That, and I see you've been enjoying a couple of delicacies, right? Is the chocolate too tasty to resist?" Ryuko patronizing Satsuki made Nonon's blood boil. This was the bitch they were trying to save? Satsuki retaliated by making good on her promise and puking her guts out...all over Ryuko's heels. Or to be more accurate, Junketsu.
Needless to say, Ryuko was livid. To express this livid-ness, she decided to kick Satsuki, launching her feet away into a concrete wall right in front of the bridge. Oh, and she goes through said wall into the bridge. She smashes through the seats as Ryuko charges forward, swinging her sword in every direction to keep people off her back. She lands on the smashed rubble, her vomit covered heels leaving a stench that woke Satsuki up from her forced power nap "Nnghhh! Curse your strength." She mumbled, standing up to discard her blanket, revealing that she was in fact wearing Senketsu! "All right Senketsu, let's do this!" She activated the Kamui and transformed before Ryuko's very eyes, now wearing her iconic red outfit as her excessive fat was burned off once more.
Ryuko motioned for her to come, taunting her as Satsuki obliged, launching forward as Ryuko met her attack, catching Satsuki off guard and sending her through another wall to the otherside of the ship, tossing her even farther as soon as she landed on her feet. Satsuki landed into a cannon, grunting loudly as blood spilled out of her mouth. Her throat clogged up, making her wheeze and choke on air as Ryuko grew closer, gripping her Scissor Blade tightly. Satsuki took this opportunity to use Senketsu's strength to smash the cannon once more, now giving her a large firing pipe. Using it like a baseball bat, she swung it at her sister, causing the younger woman to go up into the air and down into the sea.
Satsuki ran over to the Elite Four, gasping as her back aching "Lady Satsuki, what's the plan! Gamagori cried out, unsure of what they could do against such a fierce foe "Go to Iori, I've already assigned him a mission and he should be done with it now!" They hesitated before running off, speeding down corridors to Iori's office where he worked on the new weapon he could finally put into use! Ryuko rose from the water with a thunderous crash of the waves, landing back on the concrete platform "You stupid bitch! First you puke on my shoes, then you send me into the damn ocean?! You're dead!" She leaped forward, preparing to cut Satsuki down in an instant!
Only for Satsuki to roll under her, grabbing Ryuko from behind before performing a suplex, smashing her head into the ground with a loud crunch. Satsuki stood back up and attempted to pull the Scissor Blade away from Ryuko, but she had a death grip on it, which grew to be a problem as her sister pulled her in and grabbed her by the throat. Satsuki gasped and squirmed, struggling to stand as Ryuko towered over her, holding all the power as she held the blade to her throat, smiling sadistically "You put up a good fight. But I'm sick of playing around!" In that moment, the Elite Four saved Satsuki, using Iori's new device to yank Ryuko away; a Anti-Life Fiber Human Extraction Device! It yanked on Junketsu, tugging on Ryuko's skin as she yelled in discomfort "Stop that shit you idiots!"
Satsuki realized what was happening and called out for them to stop. "It's a part of her skin now! Don't do it, or else she might die!" The Elite Four gasped as they jumped back, turning off their gadgets as they tried to think of a different strategy. "Shit! What do we do now?" Satsuki pondered as she heard Guts barking his head off. She couldn't help but turn her attention, seeing what he was growling at. He was...getting upset at a cover? There were a few nearby, but he was focused on one specifically. "Wait, the Mankanshoku's dog! What if he's smelling-"
"That's perfect!" Satsuki stated, facing Ryuko once more "Free Ryuko's friend. She may be our only hope in freeing her from Junketsu and stopping Ragyo!" They took off with their Anti-Life Fiber Human Extraction Device, leaving Satsuki to stand against the hurricane that was her sister "I'll save you Ryuko, whether you like it or not!"
