Life La Life

by kilbymania

It was a year after the events of Kill la kill, and life has been swell for Ryūko, Satsuki and Mako who happened to have been transferred to the same high school. However a ghost from their past throws their lives into chaos while this spectre of said past begins their own new life leading to an unseen force who wish to enact the will of the late Ragyō Kiryūin begin their attack.

4. Chapter 4: The clash

Nui's skips seemed effortless, yet with each skip she leapt bounds across the many roofs in the city. The agents continued to attempt to capture her, firing many needles all of which she dodged seemingly just as effortlessly. Another helicopter flew in front of Nui's path, four agents dropping off from the side door.

"Don't you dare even think about moving!" One of the agents shouted at the irritated Nui.

"Sorry boys, but I haven't got time for dating! And anyway you're not really my type." Nui responded in kind.

The agents prepared to fire what seemed to be black coloured sewing machines factored into Famas style rifles. Nui prepared a weapon of her own, although an unconventional type, as the flesh of her hands seemed to peel off revealing pure black life fiber hands underneath, rainbow colours gleaming in the style of the life fiber hands she had used in her final acts. However instead of forming single blades, the fingers of her hands seemed to sharpen into individual blade-like claws. The agents began firing with Nui quickly dodging, dashing close towards the agents. She swiped with her claws knocking down the agents and breaking the rifles into pieces, the flesh seeming to reform on Nui's hands the claws shrinking to shape back into regular sized fingers. The agents laid on the ground preparing to get up, but with a single punch to each of their heads they were knocked out.

"Sorry again boys, I would play with you some more but as I said I'm in a hurry." Nui began running once again with the helicopter now turning around to likely deposit more agents while the other helicopter with the machine gun seemingly turned back.

All of a sudden Nui was engulfed in a cloud of white puffy smoke before beginning to run once again, as the helicopter began following her with its spotlight, completely unaware that what it was chasing was one of Nui's doppelgangers from Nui's La Mon-Mignon Prêt-à-Porter while the real Nui had jumped down into an alley way from within the cloud of smoke.

Nui dusted herself off casually as she proceeded to walk down the alley way only for her to feel cold steel of three blades at her neck. "Oh my, Ryūko dear! it's been a while hasn't it? And I wasn't even able to detect your presence!"

Nui spoke knowing who it was then had quickly swung one of her claws at Ryūko, who deflected the attack with her blades, causing Nui to gracefully back-flip backwards gracefully out of the alleyway.

Her view was met with a great many nudist beach agents in a circle formation, suddenly illuminated by spotlights with Satsuki standing in the centre, "you aren't as cunning as you would like to think Nui, I'll be having your head."

Nui acted with disingenuous surprise as the two girls approached from both her front and behind, "Wow! Excellent trick you two! So, all that chasing was to back me into a corner? Very smart! And Satsuki! It's been far too long!"

Ryūko shouted from behind Nui as she approached wielding her tailor's blades, "Its over Nui! There's no getting out of this, just give up!" Her voice was full of malice, her words as sharp as the blades she held.

Nui was un-phased however, merely standing there casually. She pulled out her parasol from a puff of smoke carelessly slinging it over her shoulder, "awful weather we're having huh?" Her sudden remark confusing those that surrounded her, some of which looking up at the clear night sky as she continued, "Almost like it's raining dozens of me!"

Satsuki and Ryūko realized too late, as suddenly a bunch of Nui's doppelgangers fell from the sky. The impacts of their landings knocking down the Nudist beach agents and leaving dents in the ground.

"I placed a bunch of un-activated clones on the roof before I dropped down, pretty neat huh!?" Nui explained cheerfully as both Ryūko and Satsuki approached her from opposite sides.

Ryūko ran with her blades at both sides and prepared to swing them both at Nui, reaching Nui first in her shorter distance. Nui blocked her attacks with a twirl causing Ryūko to go for another quick swing, Nui responds with her own attack swiping with her right claw. Ryūko blocked the attack, the impact forcing her body backwards, her feet grinding along the ground. Not long after Satsuki begins her own attack. She went for a dual slash of both sides; Nui span around her causing Satsuki to turn and go for another attack moving her blades in a stabbing motion. Nui this time blocked with her claws while jumping into the air flipping over Satsuki. Satsuki went for another charge, preparing to slash from both sides, Nui standing still as to mock Satsuki. As Satsuki reached Nui, Nui appeared to limbo under her strikes causing Satsuki to move past her, as Satsuki turned to face Nui, Nui appeared to flip once again, this time kicking Satsuki who blocked, and was pushed backwards on her feet in the same direction of Ryūko.

"Satsuki, you're a bit slower since last time we fought, and Ryūko gave in far too quick!" Nui spoke just as casual as usual, seemingly to mock the two girls "If you want me, you're gonna need to try harder than that! Or at least take me out to dinner first."

Tsumugu ran up flights of stairs one after another with a suitcase in hand. He made it quickly to the fourth floor of what seemed to be an office building, where he walked pasts various desks over to the window overlooking the street. He smashed the window open and released the seals on his case revealing various parts. He assembled the parts to form a sniper rifle which he perched on the ledge of the window, he then lied down and peered through the scope atop the rifle. His view was met with Satsuki and Ryūko attempting to fight Nui only to be blocked and end up in the direction of the alley way. Behind Nui laid dozens of knocked out agents having been taken out by Nui's doppelgangers who subsequently disappeared after taking them down.

Mikisugi's voice chimes into Tsumugu's ear through his earpiece, "do you have a shot?" Mikisugi was standing in the van, looking into a monitor that showed the view of Tsumugu through a camera on his suit.

Tsumugu had his scope trained on Nui's head, his finger itching to pull the trigger, "yeah but knowing her she'll probably dodge it anyway."

Back in the van Mikisugi replied through the communications in acknowledgement, "Alright, hold your fire for now, reinforcements is on its way-"

Tsumugu suddenly interrupts, "Wait a minute somethings happening."

This causes a confused "huh?" from Mikisugi, as Tsumugu is met with the view of Nui suddenly collapsing onto one of her knees.

Nui's sudden collapse brings surprise to both Ryūko and Satsuki who was about to approach for another attack.

Nui appeared frustrated as she spoke through struggled breaths, "N-no... q-quiet! I-I'm in c-control!"

Vibrant crimson threads started to surface out of Nui's skin, spewing from her legs, arms, hands and even her face. The threads begin flowing out and circulating Nui like before, forming a whirlwind of red threads twisting around obscuring her into a figure enwrapped in the fibers. The threads dissipated revealing Nui standing there now wearing the school uniform, with her hair let down and wearing the Japanese style white eyepatch, it was clone Nui.

"Wait! Please wait, please hear me out!" Clone Nui shouted in her desperation.

However Satsuki responded, cold and demanding, "We aren't falling for your ridiculous tricks any longer Nui."

Nui sweated from her forehead, slinking back from this response, "I understand why it may seem that way, I remember it all now, well not really remember per say... its strange, it's like I watched a movie about my life, well my previous life, who I am, who I was..." tears dripped down from Nui's remaining eye, "Ryūko... I'm so sorry..."

Satsuki was about to shout again, as cold as before, however she felt a hand on her shoulder, as Ryūko spoke to her. "Wait, I don't know what the hell is going on but, I think there's something more than this than just another one of Nui's tricks."

Nui had just finished wiping away the tears when Ryūko shouted over to her, "Alright Nui, or whoever the hell you think you are!"

Nui interrupted with an audible irritated sigh permeating through her voice, "just call me clone Nui, the other ones true Nui..."

Ryūko replied in kind "Alright "clone Nui!" This is this your chance, you gotta make this make sense! You hear me!?"

Clone Nui nodded, her face reflective of the seriousness of the situation, "Alright... this is what happened."

The sky was full of stars on the night the battle for humanity took place. The victory was decided, and a girl fell from the sky to be caught by the ones she loved as she hit the ground. However their celebrations could not be heard where this event took place, atop Honnouji academy tower. Quietly one by one a few red threads fell upon the cold steel of the tower's peak. It was Shinra Koketsu's threads, they had latched onto Ryūko as she fell from the earth's atmosphere, the red fibers had clinged to her in a final desperate act to survive. More and more red threads gathered on the tower, the threads shifting to form a figure crouched on their knees. The figure is Nui, she was completely nude, her hair draped around her and her cross shaped scar in place for an eye visible for all to see. She looked at her hands, her face absorbed in bewilderment. She then looked up at the sky, peering into the endless night. It took only a moment for Nui to realize what had happened, tears streamed from her eye, her face began twisting in anguish as she placed her hands against her face and quietly sobbed, her pain echoing into the whistling air. Suddenly she was met with the sight of a child, a little girl, her hair tied into large pigtail twirls and she wore a frilly pink dress. She ran up happily to much taller figure, their features obscured by shadow.

When the little girl reached the figure, she was met with the figure shouting at her, their voice was cruel and filled with malice, "You pathetic failure! You were supposed to be our greatest tool! You were supposed to be our everything! But you failed us!"

Nui grit her teeth, the flow of tears refusing to cease. However, she was met with another vision. This time it was a view of herself as old as she was at that moment, she wore a wedding dress, her veil raised over her head, she held her hands together in proper form. She stood atop a bell tower, a voice called out to her from below, but instead of jumping down to meet that voice, she turned away. After seeing this Nui wiped the tears from her face and she stood, her face now filled with determination. She quietly made her way down from the tower and as she walked away, a ghostly figure of the grand couturier stood still behind her still staring up at the stars. Nui moved carefully through the streets of honno-city. She wanted to go home, she did not know where that was, or how she would reach it, but her mind was filled with nothing but "I want to go home" the cold air like knives on her skin. Naked, alone but... Alive. She took a white t-shirt and a dark green pair of shorts off from a washing line and disappeared into the night.

"That is what happened..." Clone Nui said, to the utter shock from both Ryūko and Satsuki who continued to stand in front of the alleyway. Clone Nui had recounted the events of her origin to them creating a moment of silence. "I had left behind my previous self, in a wish to leave the past behind, and so I... I..." Clone Nui broke the silence building up to a declaration, "I... I want to live a normal life!"

Nui's declaration causes another moment of silence.

A single "Huh?" is audible from Ryūko as the confusion in the air is palpable.

Nui continued shouting, her determination resounding in every word, "I don't want to hurt anyone, I just want to live a normal life! Even after everything that happened, I just wish to live, to go to school, to have friends, to fall in love, I just want to live a normal life!"

Her voice echoed as the silence continued permeating through the scene from all of the onlookers.

Nui continued, looking directly at Ryūko, "So you can try to cut me down, but even if I don't have any power or skills... I'll fight back all the same!"

Yet another moment of silence made its arrival, the tension overwhelming to all that witnessed it. The inevitable interruption came from several vehicles from the right side of the battlefield and the metal thud of footsteps from DTRs. It was not long before a much larger squad of nudist beach agents than before was gathered around the three in a large circular formation.

A single agent's voice rang out from the squad as they trained their rifles on the fearful Nui, "Hands up Nui there's no getting away!"

Nui tentatively followed the command, her body shuddering with fear as she knew they were just as ready to kill her on the spot as knocking her out and putting her on a dissection table. Her gaze was drawn to her left however as she noticed Ryūko walking diagonally towards the nudist beach agents and closer in front of Nui before stopping a few meters in front of her.

Ryūko began to shout at the agents, her words bringing surprise to all that heard them, "I still don't fully understand what's going on, but this Nui, is different from the last, and if she really does want a normal life, then if you want her, you're gonna have to go through me too!"

Nui was the most dumbstruck, only for her to see Satsuki walk forward as well, standing next to Ryūko, "I stand by my sister's decision, and I too will aid Nui!"

Clone Nui in her astonishment was close to tears, her words were feeble, emanating gratitude, "Ryūko... Satsuki..."

Tsumugu on the fifth floor of the adjacent building mixed his surprise with anger, as he spoke to Mikisugi through the communications, "what the hell are they doing?! I'm taking the shot!"

Mikisugi replied quickly with a, "No, wait!"

Tsumugu replied in return, channelling his frustration and rage, "What do you mean wait!?-"

Tsumugu was interrupted by another occurrence, in the street. Clone Nui collapsed onto her knee, the vibrant crimson threads wrapping and spinning around her again, the fibers then vanished to reveal true Nui standing amidst the battlefield that was once the street.

True Nui did not have her usual composure and she was not even looking at Ryūko, Satsuki or any of the Nudist beach agents. Her eye was clouded with rage and she did not even bare a smile, her mouth unveiling her shark-like teeth in a gaunt grim enraged frown.

She looked down at the floor, her words uttered out with rage, as she seemed to not address anyone visible, "I gave up that easily?! I can't have... I CAN'T HAVE."

Ryūko stepped forward calling out to the enraged Nui "Nui, no... true Nui."

Her words seemingly snapping true Nui out of her rage upon hearing them, changing back to her usual, chipper self, "oh hi Ryūko! Very sorry about all that."

Ryūko ignored the insincere apology, continuing from before, "That other you, Clone Nui, let her go and disappear from this world."

A simple command, and yet Nui acted confused. "Oh you mean that? Don't tell me you fell for that Ryūko."

Satsuki stepped forward as well to join her sister's side, "we can see through your tricks Nui, and that was not one of them."

Nui was quiet for a moment before shrugging, "ok ok, I give, that other me is a rather strange happening I didn't expect but if you think I'm gonna give up living for that pathetic thing, then you got another thing coming!"

Every gun was trained on Nui, with each having a finger itching to pull the trigger, but it was Satsuki's words that would be true to her aim more than any rifle, "Why are you still here Nui?"

These words struck true Nui with genuine confusion as she threw out a "huh?"

Satsuki continued her voice stoic and cold, "you have nothing left, so why do you continue to live? Your master's final command was to cast away your body, to begone from this world and yet you stand before us."

Nui's casual confusion changed to quiet enraged malevolence, she spoke under her breath with a simple "shut up..."

Satsuki again continued, "Your plans were for naught, humanity survived and life fibers perished, your values were ultimately meaningless, and yet you persist to hang onto life for what reason?"

Nui's anger deepened as she let out another "Shut up..." a touch louder from before, her malice arising from both words.

Satsuki persisted however as coldly as before, "And worst of all, you are standing here to remind me of your disgusting master, your putrid "mother" so she could torment me beyond the grave. But nevertheless she is gone, Nui Harime! The one you devoted everything to left you behind with nothing! You pathetic failure!"

These words were the last, as they seemed to shatter Nui's composure entirely. Nui suddenly began punching the ground repeatedly, the impact of her punches causing the ground to shake and a crater to form on the battle field, almost knocking over Satsuki and Ryūko, with the Nudist beach agent's all losing their balance and the shaking even being felt in the building Tsumugu resided within.

All the while Nui screamed "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!" As she continued punching the ground even after her arms broke, where she would continue to fling her broken arms into the ground, eventually causing her arms to break apart into bloody pieces. She then stood there silently, her eye overcast and a Solemn frown on her face.

Ryūko and Satsuki cautiously stood up.

"You alright Sis?" Ryūko said checking on Satsuki calmly.

Satsuki replying to reassure her concerned sister, "yes I'm alright..."

Their gazes turned to Nui who continued to stand there quietly at the center of the massive impact crater. Her arms a bloody mess, she held in front of her. Tsumugu and mikisugi completed their own recoveries having been affected by the shaking caused by Nui's outburst. Mikisugi and his accompanying agents gathered themselves checking their equipment.

"Tsumugu? Come in Tsumugu!" Mikisugi spoke into the communications with an order.

Tsumugu took a moment to check his gear, his earpiece malfunctioning for a moment before coming back online, "yeah I'm here, god damn fibers..." He picked up his rifle peering down the scope, but his view of Nui was blocked by the crater's impression into the ground. "I haven't got a shot."

Mikisugi, replied as quickly as Tsumugu spoke, "Alright, you got permission to engage."

Tsumugu placed a grappling hook on the windowsill attaching the buckle to a strap on his suit then dropped out the window and made his way down the front of the building.

Meanwhile on the ground Nui appeared to quietly mumble to herself, "She's not gone... she's not... without her I... what am I?"

While Nui mumbled something strange caught the attention of Ryūko and Satsuki. The blood spewing from her wounds seemed to shift and slither. Blood began leaking from her eye and her mouth, causing Nui to shake seemingly in pain. The blood started to form a figure, a torso, arms and a head. The figure began to resemble the top half of clone Nui's body, while the bottom half being a swirling stream of blood that floated in the air. Her arms grabbed true Nui's head as if she were pulling herself out of True Nui's body.

"What the hell are you doing Nui!?" the clone Nui made of blood screamed at True Nui, who continued to shiver and shake in pain. "You really gonna let everything about you be controlled by that ghost!? She never cared about you! You were nothing but a tool to her! And I'm not gonna let you throw yourself away for a monster who treated you like GARBAGE!"

True Nui was unable to reply, only capable of letting out a choked gurgling sound.

"Fine then... If you can't see it! I'll force you too!" The blood clone Nui started to be enveloped in shining purple stars, before the stars began filling true Nui's body.

The stars became one large purple star that exploded into a black liquid filled with white stars, like the universe overflowing like water, The liquid quickly filled the impact crater.

"What the hell?!" Ryūko shouted in sudden surprise.

However she was left ignored as Satsuki was filled with recognition at the familiarity of the events, "This just like... the clash of the god robes..."

Before long, the two sisters were enveloped by the liquid.

Tsumugu arrived soon at the crater prepping his white needle gun, only for the liquid to suddenly burst out of the star quickly enveloping him as well, "God damn it not this shit!" The liquid began moulding and shifting, forming a semi-sphere covering the ground of the crater.

The five individuals found themselves in a void of white. Ryūko, Satsuki and Tsumugu looked around confused, while Nui stood there her eye blank and permanently in shock, her arms seemed to have reformed, the blood clone now fully formed into a figure of clone Nui standing besides true Nui while a trail of blood stemmed from her foot up to true Nui's leg.

"What's going on Nui?" Ryūko angrily questioned clone Nui.

But clone Nui continued looking intensely at true Nui, "you will see..."

The white void began to change into a square room, growing walls with a bed pressed up against the back. Pillows and toys began to appear in the room, both on the bed and on the ground all of various shades of pink and purple. The toys was then followed by a multitude of mannequins appearing in the room wearing different clothing such as dresses, shirts and other kinds of clothes all coloured as well with various shades of pink. Ryūko's Satsuki's and Tsumugu's faces showed the same confusion, when a little girl appeared on the floor of the white room wearing a frilly pink dress and had two large pig tails. She seemed to be playing with two small dolls, prancing them about with her hands.

A large door at the front of the room slid open to reveal a large figure cloaked in black, "Nui..." the figure emanated a deep, dark voice. "Lady Ragyō has called for you, It's time for your lessons."

The young Nui stood up brushing down her dress as she eked out a "Oui." with her quiet, timid and high-pitched voice following the dark figure out of the room.

Suddenly the room shifted changing to a similarly sized room, a metal table stood in the middle with two seats, on one sat the young Nui and in the other, a ghost of the past, the one and only Ragyō Kiryūin, her white hair in the form of wings with the rainbow light emanating from the front, her dress being her usual attire of being fairly revealing white cloths going down her chest meeting at the bottom to attach to a similarly coloured white dress, and her cold cruel red eyes poised expectantly on the young Nui. The sight of her mother struck Satsuki, like a phantom she had buried haunting her from the grave.

Ragyō tapped her fingers on her elbow with her arms crossed as she sat across from the child Nui. Nui then raised up a piece of clothing she seemed to have been working on, only for Ragyō to take it from her hands.

Ragyō examined the piece of clothing seeming to be a small white dress, Ragyō's face then became twisted in anger, "This is pathetic Nui!" Ragyō threw the dress onto the table shouting at the little girl, "you have to be better than this! Do you understand the reason you were born?! You continue working sloppy like this and you are nothing but a failure!"

The child Nui looked distressed at her mother's anger, only replying with a subdued "Oui Maman..."

Ryūko looked closely at the child's face before the scene suddenly shifted again. This time the room became much larger, a large red mat covering the centre of the room, three windows was on the front wall overlooking the large room, through the window showed three shadowy figures, one In the centre window standing up while in the two windows to the sides showed their figures hunched over sitting in front of the window, half of their body concealed below the window. A figure faded into the room, another Nui, however she was no longer a child, being almost the same height as present Nui, but her dress was replaced with black skin tight exercise vest and matching exercise shorts, her hair was in a single pony tail, while her face bared a serious cold demeanour, Several patches could be seen on her skin connecting to a circuit on the back of her neck. This Nui walked onto the red mat causing a large double-sided door at the front of the chamber to open revealing two large imposing figures, they appeared to be hulking masses of creatures resembling suits that towered above Nui.

A voice chimes through the speakers at the top right and left corners of the room, "COVERS prototype combat test, begin."

As soon as the voice finished echoing through the room, the two creatures charged at Nui. Nui ran at them as well, flipping over the creature to the left then sweeping the legs of the creature to the right. She then wrapped her legs around the arm of the left creature while her arms were on the floor, digging her nails into the ground, attempting to grapple it, only for the creature to pick her up and slam her onto the floor. Nui then took her sharpened nails and attempted to cut both of them down as the right creature gets up off the ground. Nui cuts into the left managing to pull out crimson fibers from it's chest then snipping them with her nails causing the left creature to slump down onto the ground. The remaining creature punches Nui in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her, before wrapping it's arm around her neck attempting to choke her. Nui elbowed the creature furiously before biting into the creature's arm and with rage, ripping it off with her teeth. She then plunged her arm into the creature and dragging out it's fibers before cutting them, making it slump down as well, defeated.

Another voice chimes through the speakers, "hm I see... your technique is sloppy Nui." It was Ragyō's voice, "you have to be better than this, you are to be the grand couturier after all, lest you be a failure... but never mind that, come to the bathing chambers, I will... purify you..."

Satsuki grit her teeth with disgust causing Ryūko to look at her sister with concern.

"Oui maman..." the young Nui replied, her voice cold and distraught.

Ragyō then said another remark "oh and Nui? Don't forget to smile."

With these final words the scene shifted again, becoming what appeared to be Ragyō's office, an endless expanse of ceiling and floor with a bright white light in place for walls. Ragyō sat in a seat in front of a white minimalist desk, and another familiar face, Rei Hōōmaru stood by, she wore her pure white suit and her green and orange sunglasses, with her light purple twirly hair in contrast to her brown skin. She stood calmly holding what appeared to be a fancy clipboard with several pieces of paper clipped on. Another Nui stood a few paces away, more akin to present day Nui, wearing her grand couturier attire and hair, this one also was missing an eye, but instead of an eye patch, she merely covered it with her hand while beneath seemed to leak out blood.

"So was the mission a success?" Ragyō questioned calmly.

Nui in turn gave a cheerful answer "yup! Isshin Matoi is suuuper dead! And I got his special weapon right here!" Nui held up her half of the rending scissors, the purple blade gleaming in the light connecting to its round hilt.

"Half of a giant pair of scissors?" Ragyō observed the blade curiously.

Nui replying with "yup! The old man called them the rending scissors; they have the capability to sever life fibers!"

Ragyō seemed amused by this finding "hmm, intriguing, that man always did have so many tricks up his sleeve, but wait, where is the other half?"

Ragyō's question, made Nui come out of her cheerful demeanour somewhat, "I... I left it behind..."

As soon as she said this Ragyō slammed her hands on the desk standing up. "you let that fool cut your eye AND left behind part of his greatest weapon?!"

Ragyō's shouting caused Nui to panic partially, trying to make an excuse "I-"

But she was quickly cut off by Ragyō "Save your excuses! While you completed the mission these faults are pathetic Nui, are you so desperate to disappoint me as a failure!?"

Nui was downtrodden by this, only being able to utter "désolé Maman..."

Ragyō settled down now asking another question more calmly "And why haven't you regenerated your eye?"

Nui responds, "Payment for my faults Maman..."

Ragyō smiled with arrogant satisfaction, "Hm I like that, but do cover up the scar, the sight is quite the..." Ragyō chuckles slightly before continuing "...Eye sore."

Nui can only utter "Oui maman..." before turning and walking away.

The scene then shifts to final sight a pitch black void with a single spot light illuminating the same Nui as before, her voice is course and jittery from crying while tears continued to stream down from her remaining eye, she was taking a needle to her face sewing a thread through her purple eyepatch covering the cut where the eye once was, "You don't deserve to be the grand couturier! You don't deserve to live! You... you..." This Nui broke down as the stunned onlookers observed her closely as she continued, "...You failure..."

Suddenly, Tsumugu, Satsuki and Ryūko were gone, and the scene changed to a white void once again, with only True Nui and clone Nui facing one another.

Clone Nui was no longer made of blood or translucent for that matter grabbing the attention of true Nui. "Nui... I want to make a deal..."

Clone Nui proposal caught True Nui off guard. "What kind of deal?"

On the outside of the sphere stood many of the Nudist beach agents carefully observing, when they noticed the sphere suddenly disappearing into the ground, revealing, Tsumugu, Ryūko, Satsuki and true Nui to be standing where they were before the sphere had appeared.

Mikisugi had watched what transpired within the sphere through Tsumugu's camera which had continued to function. "Were those Nui's memories?"

Meanwhile back at the crater true Nui seemed to speak to herself for a moment "I guess I have no choice..." She then shouted seemingly into the sky, "To the naked apes watching! I would like to make a request!"

Surprise filled the air as back in the van Mikisugi said "a request?"

As if to reply, Nui built up her voice for a declaration, "I would like... To join Nudist beach!"
