Their blades clashed together, sending ripples of air around them as the ground beneath their feet struggled to remain where it was. Satsuki felt her body tremble under Ryuko's strength, her body wanting to change into her bloated self and cower in fear of her younger sister. But she wasn't going to allow that to happen, not when her mother was going to endanger the world and destroy everything she knows! She had to push through, to see everything to the end, to be there when her mother finally fell. "Snap out of it Ryuko! This isn't you- you aren't a slave to our mother!"
The raven haired teen snarled in response, kicking Satsuki in her stomach and sending her a few feet back, her heels digging into the ground as she stopped herself with her blade. She blocked each strike her sister threw at her, dodging and weaving as she tried to reason with the brainwashed woman. But Ryuko wasn't having it, growling and swinging her scissor blade without any remorse for what she might do to Satsuki. She finally paried the older woman, kicking her with a cartwheel kick, sending her high into the air. Satsuki's body screamed in pain as the air blew past her dingy hair.
Satsuki tried to activate Senketsu's flight, but instead landed on top of the ship's bridge, groaning in pain as she looked down from her high vantage point. Ryuko looked at her with a burning hatred "There's only one way this ends. Either you die, or I do!" She jumped into the air, climbing the structure with ferocity as Satsuki dropped down, deciding that her defensive strategy was no longer viable in a situation like this. They both began to fly in the air, circling the massive carrier ship with blinding speed, going high above the clouds to being centimeters above the water in mere seconds.
Gamagori rushed the suit-shaped creature, jumping over its tendrils as the other Elite Four members kept the growing armada of beings busy. They planted their life fiber-inhaling device on their enemies bodies and activated the gadget, sucking out the victim of the attack before discarding the weakened life fiber zombies and tossing them into the ocean "These things just won't stop coming!" Jakuzure complained, hopping and spinning in the air as Uzu dodged multiple red threads "There's no point in whining! If we want any hope in winning, we have to get that Mankanshoku girl out of these stupid suits and get Matoi out of her funk!
The large man grabbed the sleeve of the creature, activating his instrument as the white two button suit turned into mincemeat, shooting a naked Mako out of the back of it as she rolled on the ground. Guts rushed towards her, licking her body as Gamagori grabbed a nudist beach uniform and handed it to her "H-Here! So you aren't naked!" He stuttered, looking away as she put it on, grunting loudly before finally putting it on correctly 'Woah! Where am I? This looks like such a cool boat!" She said, peering over the railing as the ship shook violently.
She cried in surprise and leaned back, laying on her back as she perked back up "What's going on!" She turned around and saw Ryuko battling Satsuki, wearing the blizzard white uniform that was Junketsu. "Ryuko! What is she doing?" Gamagori sighed as he gave her a rundown of the situation, explaining what had happened to her friend while she was gone "Oh my goodness, that's terrible!" She clasped her hands on her cheeks as she ran forward "Mankanshoku! We need a plan, what are you doing!" Ira yelled in shock. "What does it look like I'm doing? I'm saving my friend!"
He attempted to catch up with her, running up and down the growing piles of rubble on the ship as Mako made her way to Ryuko, calling out her name as she jumped at her brainwashed friend as she always did. Ryuko dodged the brunette with ease, looking at her in confusion as Mako stood back up, posing as a holy light dawned on the small girl "I understand why you're angry Ryuko! I mean, if you can't take that outfit off, you can't take a bath or wash yourself, and you can't get dressed up for a date! But even so, that doesn't mean it's okay to go on a rampage like this!" Ryuko scoffed, "What are you talking about?"
"Mankanshoku! Didn't you listen to me? This isn't the Matoi you used to know! You have to run, now!" This time it was Mako's turn to scoff "Ryuko is always Ryuko! Even if you've got Life Fibers inside of you, even if you've been with your mom for too long, you're still Ryuko!" She then pointed to Satsuki "And Senketsu is your Sunday best, same as always!" As she finished, Nui dropped down from above and gave everyone a playful wink "Hehe~ Whatcha doing Ryuko?" She asked, not receiving an answer as the blonde girl pouted "Awwww, you play with me naked and now you won't talk to me? How rude!"
Nui leaned over and gave Ryuko a kiss, making Mako's heart stop as the short lifted her purple scissor blade "Is this pest going to confess to you or something? What a pain." Right as she was about to cut Mako in half, Ryuko caught her arm, gripping her wrist tightly as she yanked the scissor blade out of her hand and kicked her in the kidney, sending her into the water with a thunderous boom as Mako's skirt fluttered in the wind. Satsuki watched as Ryuko began to tear off Junketsu, landing down beside her sister as she helped her take the skin grafted uniform off her body, blood squirting everywhere as Satsukis tripped naked and handed Ryuko Senketsu.
The Elite Four handed Satsuki a Nudist Beach uniform as Ryuko was tended to by the Mankanshoku's for the better part of an hour, helping her wounds heal as Senketsu did his best not to drink her blood; instead covering her wounds and sealing them tight. Mako stayed by her side as the water exploded, with an angry Nui popping out of it and landing on the ship "You bitch! After giving you my body, you send me into the ocean!" Nui extends inch long claws from her fingernails as she rushes the unconscious young woman "Let's see how well you handle these!" She swiped at Ryuko and the Mankanshoku family, but was blocked by a giant cabinet landing in front of them.
Satsuki recognized what it was and put Junketsu back on, activating its full strength as she leaped at the petite woman "Put on your new uniforms, now!" She cried, attacking Nui with her blade as the smaller woman spun like a sociopathic ballerina, giggling and jumping with a manic grin plastered on her face. "You're defending your sister, how sweet! Like a piggy defending their litter- only I'm going to turn you into bacon!" She sped forward, her arms crossed as he prepared to cut Satsuki into bits. Then she held her blade up, cutting off her hands with the two blades made from her original sword. "You think this will stop me? I'll just regenerate and-" Nui stopped as she watched her disembodied hands lay on the ground, unresponsive to her commands. "What is this!" She cried, panicking as Satsuki turned around "Wouldn't you like to know, you flat chested hack!"
