At the Kiryuin Manor, Ragyo Kiryuin, the CEO of the Revocs corporation and mother of Honnouji Academy president Satsuki Kiryuin, was busy taking a warm bath with her Grand Couturier, Nui Harime. Their peaceful soaking was suddenly interrupted when one of Ragyo's employees suddenly burst in, wanting to tell her about Ryuko Matoi's rise to the top.
"Lady Ragyo, we have a problem concerning Lady Satsuki's Naturals Election." the worker told her.
"And what's that?" Ragyo asked as she emerged from the water.
"It's about this Ryuko Matoi girl that transferred here almost 2 weeks ago." He added.
"You mean Isshin Matoi's daughter?" Ragyo said.
"Yes. She's severed and absorbed the goku uniforms of every single club president that Lady Satsuki has brought her way, and she's currently beaten 3 members of the student council in her Naturals Election." He added. "Simply put, we have a Code James on our hands."
Ragyo stared at the footage of Ryuko playing on her tablet, and she felt rather shocked as she watched documented footage of Ryuko fighting the various Honnouji students, each ending with their Goku Uniforms being torn to shreds and the banshi's being sucked into her kamui. In the over 10 years that Honnouji Academy was in business, no student had even come close to taking on her daughter Satsuki like Ryuko did. And all others who had come close to achieving the same line of success Ryuko had were quickly expelled for life.
"We believe the fact that Lady Satsuki began wearing Junketsu was related to the Matoi girl transferring to Honnouji Academy." the worker added.
Ragyo then got out of the bath and looked on in amusement. "She thinks she's so tough going through my dear daughter's troops, but she'll never be ready for when she takes on herself!"
"What did you say her name was again?" Nui asked.
"Oh, it's Matoi. Ryuko Matoi." The worker said. "Daughter of Nudist Beach founder Isshin Matoi."
Nui's eyes widened at the mention of her name, and a wave of inspiration swept over her. She then emerged from the Grand Bath and looked at her creator/mother's ruby red eyes.
"Hey Lady Ragyo, can I go and finish her off?" Nui asked.
"Really, Nui? This is very much unlike you. What do you know about this Ryuko Matoi?"
"Let's just say I know something about her that'll really drive her nuts!"
"Interesting. I'll leave you to her. But take your phone with you so I know where you are!" Ragyo said as she dried herself up with a towel.
Nui then headed out of the bath and got dressed up in her trademark pink dress, ready to head out for Honnouji Academy and her "playdate" with Ryuko Matoi.
"Shall we tell your daughter about Nui's visit?" the worker asked.
"Not at all. You know how Nui likes to surprise people..." Ragyo said as she headed to her wardrobe closet.
Meanwhile, at the manor's flight pad, Rei Hououmaru, Ragyo's secretary who she adopted 20 years ago from Africa, was awaiting the arrival of her boss. And surrounding Rei were rows of butlers and servants that all looked alike in both clothing and facial features. As soon as Rei detected Ragyo's rainbow glow, she put on her glasses and looked at her with intent.
"Sorry I'm late, Hououmaru." Ragyo said.
"Not at all, ma'am. You're right on time." Rei said while bowing gracefully in front of her boss. "However….."
"However, what?" Ragyo asked.
"The Grand Couturier is paying a visit to Honnouji Academy." Rei said.
Ragyo just smiled at that comment. "Yes, I know that already. I'm just simply playing along with her whims..."
"Is there a reason for this?" Rei asked.
"If you must know, the workers told me we have a Code James going on at Honnouji Academy…" Ragyo said.
"Oh dear. Shall I take you to the academy to see what exactly we're being faced with?"
"That won't be necessary Hououmaru. We have a meeting with our global branches. Take us to the home office."
At the corner of Honnouji Academy's Naturals Election arena, Tsumugu was approaching Aikuro, who was in his teacher's disguise, to see just how dangerous Ryuko had become in her mission to uncover the truth behind her fathers killer.
"There are two things you need to know." Tsumugu started to say in his own ultra-serious manner. "One, if your clothes get ripped, you take 'em off. Two, you look like a sack of shit in those rags!" Tsumugu added with a less serious tone.
"It's a disguise, you know that! And if I went around in all my nude glory, I'd attract way too much attention!" Aikuro said while shrugging his head.
"Here's what you wanted. There's only one, so use it carefully." Tsumugu said as he handed Aikuro a red bullet coated in life fibers. This was reserved for being used on life fiber outfits that went out of control, and as Ryuko kept winning, he feared that Senketsu would lose control, consume Ryukos body, and turn her into a bloodthirsty monster.
"HQ is freaking out, I can't believe you're gonna use the Special Adhesive Bullet on her." Tsumugu said.
"Ryuko just absorbed two three star goku uniforms today. Compared to the last time you fought her, she's at a whole other level now..." Aikuro said as he watched over Ryuko with a telescope.
"A level four or five? That's unheard of…." Tsumugu said.
"Who knows. But given what happened to our previous kamui, if she absorbs Sanageyama's uniform, disaster could happen..."
"Glad you're finally starting to see things my way..."
"Hey, I'm not doing this for your sake, I'm doing it for her…."
"You mean Kinue?"
Aikuro shuddered at that thought. Both he and Tsumugu saw about a year ago how the first Nudist Beach kamui made its wearer mutate into a monster after it became too powerful through experiments. They shot the kamui with the same red bullet in order to tame it's rage, but in exchange, the bullet also killed its wearer.
Hopefully shooting Ryuko with that bullet before she could evolve too much and also become a monster would not result in her untimely demise. He knew it was a risky move, but it was one he would have to take.
At the main arena of Honnouji's Academy's first Naturals Election, a buzzer was sounded, declaring Ryuko the winner of her duel with Nonon Jakuzure. This was the third of the academy's student council, or as Satsuki called them, her Elite 4, that Ryuko had to fight in the King of The Hill final battle. Only one council member, Uzu Sanageyama, remained to battle her. If Ryuko were to defeat Uzu, then Satsuki would keep her end of the bargain and tell Ryuko about who killed her father, or as she had been calling it for the last six months, 'the person with the other half of her scissor blades'.
But Ryuko also knew that Uzu was the one who held the biggest grudge towards her. After he was humiliated by his classmates in a duel with Ryuko, he surgically sealed his eyes shut, thinking that his vision is what cost him his glory.
"Finally! I get my turn!" Uzu said as he jumped off of his platform and onto the main arena.
"Step right up! It's time to finish what we started once and for all! But this time, I ain't gonna run!" Ryuko said with confidence.
Uzu just laughed lightly at Ryuko's comment. "Good! But just remember, even though you took my eyes, I can see even better now!"
He then turned towards Satsuki who was watching all the battles from afar on a platform near the stands. "Permission to kick her ass, Lady Satsuki?"
"You have it. Round number four, begin!" Satsuki said from her platform.
The buzzer sounded and Uzu looked at Ryuko with a cocky smile on his face.
"I like how you evolved. But even so, it'll be no match for what I've got going on!" Uzu said as the three star symbols on his goku uniform began shining, and he transformed into his outfit.
"Three Star Goku Uniform, Blade Regalia Mark II!"
Once he transformed, Ryuko did the same by pulling the safety pin off of her Seki Tekko glove.
"Life Fiber Synchronize, Kamui Senketsu!"
Ryuko and Uzu both charged towards each other, both of them letting out a mighty yell as Ryuko's scissor blade prepared to clash with Uzu's bamboo made swords. But then, the two of them screeched to a halt when a blonde haired girl wearing a frilly pink dress with many ribbons and holding a pink parasol suddenly appeared right in their path. Nui just looked at the two fighters and smiled joviently.
Ryuko then desynched with her kamui and looked at that newcomer. "Who in the hell is that chick?" she asked.
Satsuki also saw what had happened and looked very unamused, and in a way, terrified over Nui's unexpected arrival. "What is the meaning of this, Nui Harime?"
Nui then just smiled over Satsuki's stone cold outburst. "Oh Lady Satsuki, you should know that it isn't nice to keep secrets from me!" Nui said.
"You know that I'm not obligated to tell you anything." Satsuki said. "Why are you really here?"
"Just here for a surprise visit, a surprise for Lady Ragyo, of course!" Nui said with a wink.
As she was talking with Satsuki, Nui failed to notice that Uzu was in the way, and he was not happy.
"Stop right there! I'm not gonna let anyone get in the way of my fight with Matoi,"' Uzu grunted. "Especially if it's someone who dresses in pink!"
"Sorry love, can't do that! You might as well sit down, because I'm gonna be the one fighting Ryuko Matoi!" Nui cheered.
"No way! I am!" Uzu yelled back.
Satsuki however was worried greatly for Uzu's safety. "Sanageyama! Get out of there!" she yelled.
"I have a really bad feeling about this, Ryuko..." Senketsu whispered.
Uzu then darted towards Nui, aiming his sword right at her, only to suddenly be blocked by Nui's parasol. This action left Uzu and Ryuko, along with the Elites and Mako in the stands, speechless. Here was someone casually and nonchalantly blocking a three star goku uniform with having to wear one herself.
"Gosh, this is boring! I was hoping that you'd be more fun, but you're not!" Nui said as she continued to cockblock Uzu's sword.
Uzu's metal uniform began to shapeshift, his sword being covered in metal and becoming a cannon. "That's It! Finishing move: Isshin Zenzanken!"
Only for it to then be blocked by Nui, this time through the tip of her fingernail.
She then pulled on one of the uniforms' many red life fiber threads tightly, like it was a twig. "Go back to being a naked monkey, sweetie!"
Nui then severed the red thread, and Uzu's goku uniform exploded in a burst of steam and sparkles. Everyone was shocked over what had just happened, with none being more shocked than Uzu himself. "Impossible!" he muttered.
While he was still trying to comprehend what had just happened, he then took a couple of hits from Nui's parasol. Seconds later, he soon found himself falling and screaming into a cloudy red abyss, only managing to save himself by sticking one of his swords into a piece of rubble.
"That was one of your student council wearing a Goku Uniform, huh Lady Satsuki?" Nui said as she looked down at Uzu's falling. "I could've sworn it would be more durable than that..."
"Why did you sever the banshi of Sanageyama's uniform?" Satsuki asked.
"Oh come on, you know why! He was getting in the way of who I really wanted to see!" Nui said, while pointing her parasol at Ryuko.
As their conversation was going on, Ryuko was getting impatient. She was so close to finally figuring out from Satsuki just who killed her father.
"Hey! Are you two gonna keep yapping or am I gonna get to fight her?" Ryuko asked in the distance.
Satsuki then turned towards Ryuko. "Are you sure you want to do this, Matoi?" she asked.
"I don't give a damn how crazy she is, as long as I have to go through her to get you and my answers!" Ryuko yelled.
Satsuki stood by and watched as the battle between Ryuko and Nui began, although she was hesitant at first.
"Alright, let's see what you got! Don't you have a goku uniform?" Ryuko said as she approached Nui.
"Oh come on! I'm not able to wear such crude things like that!" Nui said, suddenly materializing in the back of Ryuko. "But enough about me, let's have a look at your kamui!"
Ryuko just stood there, in shock that this total stranger she had just met knew about her kamui. Especially one that dressed up in a frilly pink outfit like that.
"How the hell do you know about Senketsu?" Ryuko yelled.
"Oh, so that's the kamui's name? Very well, you'll soon be able to cut loose with its power all you want!" Nui cheered while once again getting uncomfortably close to Ryuko's face.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Ryuko mumbled in disgust. Any more of Nui getting close to her, it might qualify as assault.
"Oh, I get it! You're still on the fence about it!" Nui said. "In that case, you wanna see something neat? Ready or not..."
Nui slowly pulled out a weapon from her outfit, which just so happened to be a purple scissor blade. She gave it a few twirls around and then pointed it into the sky in front of Ryuko.
"Tada!"
"No way...that's..." she quietly mumbled.
"Yep! It's the other half of your scissors! I got those from your dear dead daddy!" Nui squealed.
"It was you? You did it?" Ryuko said in abject horror.
"Yep! Totally! I'm the one….who killed him!" Nui said in delight.
Ryuko was absolutely stunned. There it was, the other half of her Scissor Blade. The weapon that killed her father, the weapon that set Ryuko on her journey, the weapon that brought Ryuko nothing but pain, sorrow, and spite for the past 6 months. The same girl, the same weapon, a complete and total match.
Nui just stood there giggling in delight at the shocked Ryuko. The murderer of Ryuko's father was right in front of her. Little did Satsuki, her elites or everyone else watching know that this very discovery, this very moment, was Ryuko's breaking point. The pin popped out of Ryuko's glove and she suddenly synchronized with Senketsu again. And then, she screamed, her face filled with rage.
"YOU BIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!"
Once she was synchronized, Ryuko went full force towards Nui, aiming her red scissor blade towards her, only to then be blocked by Nui's purple blade. Nui responded with a cheerful chuckle, and a seemingly innocent, but sadistic grin.
"You were the one I saw running away!" Ryuko yelled, still trying desperately to give Nui what she deserved.
"Uh-huh! That was me alright!" Nui said while her blade took all of Ryuko's blows.
"Why'd you do it?! Why'd you kill my dad?" Ryuko yelled as she still kept hitting Nui's blade.
"Aww come on! You know why!" Nui cheered as she began twirling her blade towards Ryuko's.
"Stop screwing with me! My old man died before he could tell me anything!" Ryuko yelled. Nui's always happy and cheery behavior was really starting to get on Ryuko's wits end.
"Oh come on! You're wearing the reason!" Nui said while hitting Ryuko's blade with her own.
"..Y-You mean Senketsu?!" Ryuko yelled.
"Uh-huh! You know your daddy was messing around with stuff humans should never touch! Taboo stuff" Nui said.
Nui then suddenly appeared behind Ryuko as fast as a ninja, and began stroking the tip of Senketsu's eye.
"But that's the thing about taboos, they feel so good..." Nui said as she touched Senketsu's fabrics.
Senketsu gasped and yelled in shock at the feeling of Nui's hands as he dragged Ryuko out of Nui's range.
"That woman's hands are as cold as ice!" Senketsu yelled.
"Oooh! So silky! That's 100% life fibers for sure!" Nui cooed.
Ryuko however, didn't want to change the subject. She had to make Nui Harime pay for what she did. "Why'd you kill him?"
"Aww, don't be all mean like that! At last we finally get the chance to meet! Let's have some fun!" Nui exclaimed.
"Are you freakin' kidding? Why the hell would I wanna do anything with you?" Ryuko yelled back.
"Aw! Don't be so narrow minded! You know you can't have love without hate!" Nui added. "They go together, likely a firmly tailored suit! It's like, the deeper the hate, the deeper the love!"
"Then I'm gonna love killing you!" Ryuko grunted in disgust and anger.
Nui then let out another squeal of delight. "Oooh Ryuko! You're so gorgeous when you're angry!"
"SHUT UP!" Ryuko yelled as she tried to slice through Nui again, only to once again miss.
"In his dying moments, he said that once I found the girl with the other scissor blade, I'd find who killed him! I can't believe it was someone like you!"
Ryuko's rage towards Nui was then interrupted by a comment from Senketsu.
"Ryuko! You gotta calm down! You've gotten too worked up, and your blood's getting hot!" Senketsu yelled, starting to feel her blood quite literally start to boil.
Ryuko kept grunting as steam started to emerge from Senketsu's shoulders. Then, all of a sudden, a small red thread came loose from the kamui's left shoulder, which Nui then grabbed onto with her pinkey.
"Oooh, I wonder if this is your kamui's banshi!" Nui cooed as she grabbed the loose thread and pulled it out of Senketsu. "I'm dying to see what you look like naked!"
Once the banshi was pulled out, steam began blowing out of Senketsu's seams, while his eye began to contort and twist as he strained from the pressure. For a second, Ryuko's expression read one thing, mortal terror and worry for Senketsu. But then all of a sudden, his eye reverted back to normal, the steam stopped blowing, and Senketsu regained control. Even Ryuko was surprised that having that banshi pulled didn't kill Senketsu.
"My, My. That's a kamui for you!" Nui declared, startled that Senketsu was not torn to bits. "I guess this means it has more than one Banshi, huh?"
"That's right! I'm not so flimsy that I'll come apart because of something like that!" Senketsu declared, even though Nui couldn't hear him. Ryuko and Nui then traded blows again, sending Ryuko flying in the opposite direction, as she tried desperately to give Nui what she deserved.
"That sly old dog! I can't believe he was hiding that kamui from little old me! He had me completely fooled!" Nui said while clapping at Ryuko's anger.
"Will you just tell me why you killed him?!" Ryuko yelled.
"Alright then, I'll tell you every little detail of it!" Nui said delightfully. Ryuko then stood ground and listened to what she had to say.
"It all started 6 months ago. I got a message from my boss Lady Ragyo to go to Isshin Matoi's manor, because we had heard he had created something that would thwart our long term plans!"
"You talking about Senketsu?" Ryuko said in disgust.
"Nope! Me and Lady Ragyo didn't know he had made that thing! All we knew was that he made his rending scissors!" Nui said while taking more of Ryuko's hits.
Images of what happened flashed before her eyes, Nui sneaking in, and managing to find her Father's scissor blade. The longer she focused on those images, the more her rage climbed.
"So she left with the other half of Dr. Matoi's rending scissors, but she had no idea about me." Senketsu said as Ryuko kept striking Nui's blade. "That old man as Nui called him was cunning..."
"Unfortunately, he was just too old and just too slow to catch me, and he ended up losing his grip, and also his scissors!" Nui cheered.
More visions flickered in Ryuko's mind, ones of her father being smacked to submission by Nui.
"And then, I stabbed his precious rending scissors into his gravely old body and I told him, I told that old dog..." Nui said as she yanked Ryuko forward so that their faces almost touched. Her voice dropped low, littered with more than a hint of cruel amusement. "How does it feel to be killed by your life's work? Does it feel good? Huh? Does it?"
Ryuko's rage began to climb, like a volcano about to erupt as each and every word Nui said began to sink in. This girl, this beast, she had to suffer.
"And then, the old fool used his last bit of life to stab my left eye out! But then I got even by taking the other half of his scissors and burning his mansion down to smithereens! And that's how I killed your daddy!" Nui said while winking.
As Ryuko's anger began to climb more and more, Senketsu tried to remain calm, or as calm as he could with the rising temperature of Ryuko's blood.
"It was you?!" Ryuko yelled while trying desperately and furiously to pin Nui down with her red scissor blade. "I saw someone leave with the other half of his scissors, and it was you?"
"Yes indeedee! But if I'd had known a cutie pie like you was waiting for me, I would've stayed a little longer!" Nui cheered while blocking Ryuko's blade with her purple one.
"STOP JOKING AROUND!" Ryuko roared, her face and body absolutely fuming.
"I don't think you're strong enough to avenge your poor old father!" Nui giggled. "Nope nope nope!"
That one comment sent Ryuko over her limits, and all logic left her mind. Ryuko's eyes grew bloodshot, and the veins in her neck were now showing.
"THAT FREAKING DOES IT!" she yelled, as a huge amount of steam erupted from her body. Little did Ryuko know that this entire fight was hurting Senketsu, both physically and mentally.
"Stop it, Ryuko! It's dangerous for your blood to get this hot!" Senketsu said, his eye getting dizzy looking and his voice straining under the pressure of the boiling blood. "If you don't calm down, I won't be able to control myself!"
As that happened, the life fibers inside of Senketsu began to sever and fray under the strain of Ryuko's anger towards Nui Harime. Then, the blood backup pouch on the side of Ryuko's outfit suddenly burst open and everything exploded into a giant fountain of blood and mist, briefly stunning Ryuko.
When Ryuko came to, she saw that Senketsu was no longer on her. She was left wearing only her bra and panties.
"What the hell?" Ryuko said, confused by what had happened earlier. "How'd I get naked?"
She then looked behind her and saw in horror that Senketsu had mutated into a demonic dog-like face, its eye bulging and bloodshot, and it's mouth glowing with life fibers. It then let out a blood-curdling roar, and dove towards Ryuko, ready to swallow her now naked body whole.
"Oh crap!" Ryuko yelped. She then started running for her dear life, afraid of what would happen if Senketsu ate her, but everywhere she went, Nui blocked her path.
"Uh-uh-uh! You gotta fight me first!" she said, sticking out her scissor blade in front of Ryuko.
"Knock it off bitch!" Ryuko yelled, with Senketsu still hot on her trail. "I have bigger problems right now!"
In sheer panic, Ryuko managed to shove Nui several feet to the ground. But while she was running for her dear life, Ryuko unexpectedly tripped on a piece of rock, allowing the monstrous Senketsu face to catch up to her.
Oh shit! No, not now! Ryuko thought. She then closed her eyes in fear as the Senketsu mouth then dove down towards the stunned Ryuko. The moment she entered Senketsu's mouth, his giant teeth consumed her as if it were a piece of food, while another huge shower of blood rained down as a result. Nui just laughed at the event, using her parasol to protect herself from the raining blood.
After being consumed by Senketsu, Ryuko's eyes shot open, only for her to see nothing but an endless void of red and black, and the rumble of thunder deafening her ears. In addition, the vast expanse also was very hot, it felt like she was in a pot of boiling water.
Then, visions of Nui and her blade began to pop up and spread all over the void. Everywhere she looked, Nui was there. And this only added fuel to the fire that was Ryuko's rage.
As she tried to get those visions of that blonde haired individual out of her head, another voice deep inside her mind told her to give in. The wrathful feeling began to grow within her, but Ryuko kept fighting it. Despite her resistance, it only agitated it further into taking over, it was like she was fighting a beast that wouldn't back down.
As the feelings of wrath and destruction kept growing, the Nui visions then flew inside Ryuko's naked body, and the more that went inside her, the more she wanted this new mysterious power. Strings of life fibers shot out from the void and wrapped around as her limbs began to change shape. While all of this was happening, her veins began turning a shade of aqua green, and her canines grew much sharper than before as she gritted her teeth. Even her mentality began to shift towards something more primal and primitive, reliant on her instinct and her own wrath.
When the blood shower settled down, a shocking figure had emerged from the chaos. Ryuko and Senketsu had merged into one being, a half-human half-kamui abomination. Her skin, or at least the skin not constantly being drenched in blood, had changed color into a sickening shade of aqua-green. Spikes had dug themselves into her left leg, while her right leg strangely had none on them. Her skirt had changed shape as well, now resembling a mouth of razor sharp teeth. Her left arm and hand had grown to massive and blocky proportions, a match for even Ira Gamagori. Her right arm remained the same size, but her scissor blade had now merged with it. As for her head, it now rested on top of Senketsu's good eye. Her teeth had expanded to a comically huge size, covering the entirety of her mouth. Two cone-shaped horns had sprouted out of her head, which were actually two of her teeth that had grown bigger than the others. and her eyes had turned yellow and bloodshot. Her left eye was larger and had no pupil, but that was only because Senketsu's eye was now being used as such. She could no longer speak, the only sounds coming out of her were guttural roars and the occasional groan and gargle from Senketsu.
The monstrous form of Ryuko growled as she aimed her massive left arm at Nui, but she casually avoided it as Ryuko's arm struck the ground which then immediately began to crumble the arena apart into many pieces.
"That's more like it!" Nui cheered, while falling down and dodging Ryuko. "Things are getting fun now!"
