Chapter 3: Synchronization and Symbiosis
Satsuki vs Ryuko and Terry: Future diary Op. 1 by NateWantsToBattle.
After the show of power by both Terry and Ryuko, Satsuki was left rather exhausted, especially after the former managed to get the drop on her and have her in a chokehold.
But right now, the lady of Honnouji Academy had something different on her mind. Namely the creatures called the Symbiotes. They seemed far stronger than the Life Fibers were, and Terry's seemed to grow stronger with each one it consumed.
These creatures most undoubtedly fascinated the woman, however, like life fibers it seemed that the Symbiote was only as strong as its host. Which was, in her opinion, even more of a testament to how strong Terry was as an individual. This, of course, was proved by how easily he overpowered her not once, but twice. And it was these shows of great power that filled the Kiryuin girl with one thing: Desire.
'I will have him, no matter what.' She vowed in her head, clenching her fists. However her thoughts then drifted to Ryuko and her Kamui, Senketsu, those two also piqued her interest. In fact it reminded her of a Kamui her family had crafted just for her… but first things first.
Getting up, she grabbed her sword. "I think it's time Mr. Guinness and I had a little talk. Face to face." She said as she turned towards her window and looked outside.
(Elsewhere)
In the slums, Terry was walking around the block with Toxin in his dormant form while he was following Ryuko to the residence of their home room teacher, Aikuro Mikisugi.
"Okay so can you please explain to me and Toxin why we're being dragged into this?" He asked her as they reached the house of said teacher.
"Because he, somehow, has answers both of us need." Ryuko replied as she knocked on the door.
It was then that Mikisugi opened the door, allowing the two entry. "This is bad. I saw how you were staring at me all passionately, Ryuko. It'd be bad luck if people found out about our relationship." He said, sitting on the window sill while Terry seemed confused.
"What the fuck are you talkin' about, ya weirdo?" He asked. Though it seemed like Ryuko was already busy giving him what for.
"The only relationship we're gonna have is the one my fist is gonna have with your face, you freak show!" She growled at him, grabbing him by the collar.
"I knew it, ya can't keep your hands off me." The man said as he suddenly started unbuttoning his shirt. Terry, feeling triggered, immediately shoved him away.
"Back off, ya damn pedo! We came here to get answers, so start talking!" He barked.
That was when Mikisugi shoved his hair back to reveal a much more handsome and confident looking face underneath the mess of blue hair that adorned his face. "They're called Life Fibers." He told them.
"I'm aware. Been gettin' a lot stronger from eating a ton of them." The boy nodded.
"The goku uniforms are made with life fibers, they enhance a humans basic abilities and reveal new ones. One star goku uniforms have around ten percent while two star uniforms have twenty. See how that works?" Mikisugi continued.
"Don't have to be an algebra major to figure that out." Terry shrugged. "What's your point?" He asked.
"Well, there are also outfits completely made of life fibers, these are called the Kamui." Mikisugi explained. "The only ones who knows about the secret of these fibers and the Kiryuins and Dr. Matoi."
"And let me guess, the Kiryuins wanted the secret to themselves, so they decided to off the good doctor and destroy the Kamui he was developing?" Terry questioned.
"Precisely." The teacher nodded.
"So what? Did Satsuki Kiryuin kill my dad or not?" Ryuko questioned.
"I'm still not a hundred percent on that." The man told her.
"Then I guess I'll have to beat the answers out of her." Ryuko huffed. That was when Mikisugi turned to Terry.
"As for you Terry, I think I should tell you that you and your Symbiote have gotten the attention of Satsuki and the rest of the Kiryuins." The man told him.
"And why should I care?" He asked.
"Because they'll likely invest resources to find weaknesses to exploit in you." The teacher replied.
"They're gonna be outta luck, I got nothing they can use." He shrugged.
"Regardless, remember you two, I can't have anyone breaking my cover, so unless we're here, I'm a teacher, you're the students, got it?" Mikisugi questioned.
"Fair enough." Terry agreed.
"Whatever." Ryuko replied with a roll of her eyes. "But I still don't get it, when Senketsu powers up, why does he always look like a sleazy garter belted bikini?" She asked.
"I don't know, maybe your dad was into kinky stuff like that." Mikisugi shrugged.
"It would make a certain kind of sense." The symbiote host mused thoughtfully.
"W-What? You're joking right?" The girl gasped with a deep blush.
"Yes, I have no idea why that happens. There are a lot of things I don't know about the Kamui." He told her, causing her to nod.
(That night)
Terry was sleeping in the apartment he was staying at in the Two Star section of the city, when a letter was dropped through his mail slot. The envelope was white with blue trim and the Honnouji Academy symbol on it. Terry slowly picked it up and read it's contents.
'Terry Giuennis, I wish to have a discussion with you about a proposal I wish to present to you. Come to my quarters at 0800 hours tomorrow morning. Come alone. - Satsuki Kiryuin.' It read in formal cursive.
"Well, looks like I've got an interesting morning ahead of me." He mused as he went back to bed.
(The following morning)
Satsuki was waiting in the sitting room for Terry to arrive as Mitsuzo, her butler, poured her a glass of tea.
"I hope you do not mind me saying so, Lady Satsuki, But I cannot help but wonder why you wish to recruit this boy." The man wondered aloud to the woman.
"In times of war it is best to make more allies than enemies." She stated, sipping her tea. "This is one such situation."
"I see." Mitsuzo nodded. It was about this time that the doors opened and a red/blue substance suddenly started crawling into the room before two arms shot out and grabbed the door frames and started to take form.
"Hit me one time! Hit me twice! Whoa! AH! OOOOH!" Terry said as an invisible force slapped him around as he reformed. "That's rather nice." He grinned, clearly going for a dramatic entrance.
"Do you always make dramatic entrances like that?" Satsuki inquired with a raised eyebrow. The boy smirked as he plopped into the couch across from her.
"It's the only way to make an entrance, senora." He told her as he leaned back. "So, you wanted to talk, what about?"
Satsuki crossed her legs as she looked at him, causing the boy in front of her to take note of how smooth and supple her skin looked, he also noted that they looked very sexy. This of course caused his throat to dry slightly. Shaking his head clear, he focused on Satsuki.
"The topic is simple." She told him as she leaned forward, causing his attention to now be drawn to her D-cup chest and her gorgeous blue eyes. "I wish to give you this proposal: Join me as a leader of Honnouji Academy, and together, we shall achieve our individual ambitions." She proposed with a sly grin.
Terry had heard the proposal but first he had to say something that caught his attention. "Has anyone ever told you that you have an absolutely gorgeous pair of eyes?" He asked.
"W-w-what?" She stuttered at the unexpected question.
"It's true. They're absolutely gorgeous, in fact they actually kinda remind me of a jewel only found in certain parts of Mexico, called the Quetzalcoatl Sapphire." The boy continued, remembering how his parents had taken him to Mexico to see said gems as a kid.
"... Do you have a picture of those gems?" The Kiryuin girl couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. Terry shook his head.
"No. Sorry." He told her. "But about your proposal, normally I'd probably say yes because I'm usually one to make friends with people in high places. But here's the thing: I have no idea what your 'ambitions' are or how they could affect the future."
"Well then, how about we educate each other on our ideals and ambitions?" Satsuki asked, her domineering composure returning. "After all, it is as the saying says: Ignorance breeds falsehoods."
"Sounds fair." Terry nodded. "You first." He beckoned.
"My ambition is to unite the world under one banner, the banner of Honnouji Academy, and free it from my mother's corrupt influence." The woman told him sipping her tea as Mitsuzo poured Terry a glass. "What about you?" She asked.
Terry seemed to be thinking before he decided to speak. "Well before I tell you I think I should give you some context. First off, I was always told by my late Uncle that 'With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility'. So my 'ambitions' have always followed those ideals. I want to rid this world of injustice, intolerance, and every other problem as much as I can with the power I have. And to have fun while I'm doing it." He explained, before Toxin slowly shifted a bit. "But now that I have Toxin, I have another ambition."
"That being?" She inquired.
"To establish a new world order. One in which the Symbiotes, not the humans, not the life fibers, not the beastials, not even the high evolutionary, RULE!" He told her, clenching his fist.
"How would you establish this order, exactly?" The kenjutsu girl wondered.
"Simple. Toxin told me of the Symbiote home planet, Klyntar, a word in their language means 'cage'. I would create a device that would broadcast the psychic signals that the Symbiotes use to communicate and draw more of them to Earth in the thousands, no, in the millions!" He told her, his arms outstretched. "We will descend on the Earth, and we will bond to the humans and become one with this planet to make them stronger!"
Satsuki seemed to take this information with a straight face. "Then it seems our goals are mutually aligned." She noted. "So, what do you say? Will you join me so that we can both realize our goals?"
Terry mulled her offer over. Their ambitions did align with each other's, so it would make sense. They could easily help each other out in the long run, and things would turn out generally well in the end. Still, this felt like an offer he needed time to think about.
"That's very true. However…" Terry said before looking at her seriously. "This is something I need to think about." He told her.
"It is a rather large offer. Take as much time as you need." She nodded. She then got up and then sat beside him, and then started stroking his arm, causing Toxin to shiver and develop something akin to goosebumps. "Interesting, so it truly is a living creature." She said in intrigue.
"Yeah, he's a pretty interesting little fella." He nodded. Though his expression soon turned flustered as Satsuki then started feeling him up. "Uh, Satsuki, What are you doin'?" He asked with his face peppered with red from blushing.
"I saw how… Developed your physique was yesterday. And although I have seen many such bodies during my time here, I must admit yours seems to be… Well balanced, for lack of a better term." She told him, continuing to examine him as the two stood up.
"I-is that so?" He asked, a stutter slipping out.
"Oh yes. I find myself feeling… Curious about, say… " She trailed off before a small grin formed. "How you'd feel without clothes." She admitted shamelessly.
"Really…?" He asked as he felt her hands glide over his chiseled eight pack, slowly drifting towards his lower regions, but he stopped her by grabbing her hand. "... Let's cross that bridge after we've gotten to know each other better, alright?" He offered, getting a small pout from Satsuki before she relented.
"Fair enough." She shrugged, stepping away. "I will be back at Honnouji Academy at precisely ten, you'll have until then to think about my proposal." She told him.
"Alright." Terry nodded. As he started to leave he turned back to Satsuki. "But if I do join you, I want you to do something for me in return, that okay, love?" He questioned, his Irish accent showing.
"And what would that be?" Satsuki asked.
"You need to stop antagonizing Ryuko. It's not a good idea, trust me." He told her.
"Are you speaking from experience?" She questioned.
"First hand. That girl has a one track mind, is stubborn as a Spanish bull in a bullfighting arena, and has the power and unshakable resolve to match. Going against her is a foolish endeavor." He nodded.
"Hm…" Satsuki hummed as she thought about it. After a minute or so, she nodded. "Very well. If you join, I will cease antagonizing her." She told him, getting a nod in return.
"Good. I'll handle her on my end." He told her before he started to leave. "Until next time, Satsuki." He told her as he left.
(Later)
Terry was heading to class, when he was suddenly slammed into the wall by something behind him, and noticed that his collar was gripped by a massive dark skinned hand.
"Well hello Gamagori, nice morning we're having isn't it?" The boy asked as he looked up at the man in front of him. "Now ya mind letting me go, you overgrown Eejit?" He growled.
"I have not forgotten the humiliation you gave me when you first arrived! Not only does my pride demand retribution, it demands that you be disciplined!" He barked.
"Feck off ya gobshite!" Terry snapped as he had Toxin force the man off of him by creating barbs all over his body. Gamagori was quick to drop him.
"Your constant use of slang in every other sentence is beyond repulsive. Honestly, do you have any sense of vocabulary at all?" The man sneered, crossing his arms.
"Oi! Don't you gimme any o' ya guff!" The boy snapped. "I can speak for myself just fine, so you can just shove off. Comprende, hombre?"
Gamagori glared at him before turning away. "Just watch yourself, Guinness." He told him as he left.
About two hours later, Ryuko and Mako both arrived and the boy was quick to join them as they all headed to class.
"You're here early." Ryuko said to her male friend.
"Apparently Satsuki wanted to have a word with me. It was an…. Interesting meeting, simply put." He replied, causing the girls to look at him with wide eyes.
"Wait, what?" Mako asked.
"What did she say?" The black and red haired girl questioned, her fists clenching.
"She wants me to join her. Our respective ambitions align with each other, apparently." Terry replied, causing Ryuko to growl.
"You better not think about joining her, got it?!" She told him angrily.
"Why are you so opposed? If I join her, you won't have to put up with her antagonizing you anymore." The symbiote host replied, unphased by her anger.
"You're telling me you actually believe that bitch?" She asked. That was when banners started to raise before Satsuki appeared from her pedestal in what appeared to be a white sailor uniform with blue accents and golden epaulets. "Satsuki Kiryuin…!"
"Ryuko Matoi." Satsuki said as she started walking down to them. "The last time we spoke, you said we would quote: 'finish this thing'." She added as she stood before them.
"I did." The red and black haired girl nodded.
"Well then, here's your chance." She states before gesturing to her outfit. "You will be my first offering to my Kamui, Junketsu." She added as the said uniform suddenly opened its own 'eyes'.
"Where in the world did you get that, lass?" Terry couldn't help but ask.
"My father crafted it, he said it would be my wedding dress." She told him.
"It's name means purity, right? You don't seem so pure to me." Ryuko snarked.
"Allow me to show you just how pure I am." The woman said as she activated her Kamui and transformed. When it was done, needless to say Terry was very much aroused at how beautiful she looked. It was a bit like Senketsu, but both 'eyes' were open and had drill-like protrusions above the shoulders. Like Senketsu, it was a garter belted bikini that didn't cover her plump ass, barely covered her pussy, and it's chest plate only covered the sides of her breasts, exposing the front. Lastly on her high heeled thigh length boots, she had lacy frills on them.
"Life Fiber Overide! Kamui Junketsu!" She yelled.
"... Hermosa…" Terry said in surprise. The word he spoke was 'beautiful' in Spanish, and of course it was true.
Ryuko glanced at him and wondered just what that word he just said meant, due to her not being well versed in other languages. Satsuki, on the other hand, blushed slightly, knowing full well what he just said before shaking it off.
"Well if you're gonna transform, then I will too." Ryuko said as she transformed too. Terry of course followed suit.
"So, Terry, have you made a decision?" Satsuki asked him as the three started walking towards each other.
"As nice as it would be to have some help with my own ambitions…" Terry started as he activated Toxin. "... I'm afraid I'll have to decline. I don't feel like giving up my friends over this." He finished, Toxin fully activated and ready for battle. "However…" He said as he stood in front of the two women, their willpower creating a concussive blast. "I am considering giving other avenues a shot." He stated, his gaze drifting over her gorgeous body as she got into a battle stance.
"Such as?" She queried, her sword at the ready.
"How about I tell you after we finish this?" He asked, extending Toxin's five natural claws.
"Fair enough. Let us begin, shall we?" Satsuki beckoned before charging at Ryuko, who barely blocked a swing from her. The two toned girl then changed Satsuki from behind, but was effortlessly blocked by Satsuki's sword without said girl even looking.
The symbiotic fighter decided to try his luck and lunged at her before delivering a strong ax kick which, despite being blocked, still caused spiderweb cracks to form underneath her from the force. The Kiriyuin girl grunted in effort as she tried to stay standing, which was difficult considering Terry was one strong fighter.
"Yes, this power is amazing! And even more so..." Satsuki said as she looked up into Terry's eyes through his mask. "Up close, your body… looks even more amazing!" She said before slamming Ryuko into the ground, causing her to bounce, then sent her flying into the school by tapping Senketsu's eye with the butt of Bakuzan.
This all happened before Satsuki lifted her leg up high and drop ax kicked Terry in the chest, causing him to land on his back and create a crater. Then she pinned him down with her heel. Leaning down she stroked Terry's chin as the heel of her boot dug into his chest. "Your muscles are… Quite hard." She said, noting the density of said muscles.
"Oi! Quit flirting with my friend!" Ryuko exclaimed in hidden jealousy as she charged at Satsuki. The Kiryuin girl was quick to block.
"Do not interrupt, Mat-MMMPH!" The woman said before she was suddenly mummy wrapped by many red tendrils that were attached to Terry.
"Mmmm, Oh you feel real soft, chica." He said as he felt her soft and smooth body in his grip.
'He has me in his grip… And it feels sooooooo good…' Satsuki thought as a shiver went up her spine from feeling the tendrils moving along her body.
"Okay, what are you even doing? Fighting her, or groping her?" Ryuko asked impatiently.
"Well, technically I'm trying to subdue her but-YOW!" He yelped as Junketsu suddenly drilled its way out of his tendrils and caused him to let go of Satsuki. "Bitch that hurt!" He growled as Toxin started to reform.
"Always be wary of any tricks an opponent may have." Satsuki lectured before swinging Bakuzan at Ryuko. "And as for you Matoi." She said while grabbing her and slamming her into the ground. "You're not even using your Kamui correctly, you're just a mindless lump of flesh squeezed into it!" She added, kicking her into the air and slamming her into Terry.
"UGH!" The two grunted in pain as they hit the wall. Ryuko growled as she got up and pulled on the garter belt on her left breast.
"You're losing too much blood." Senketsu told her.
"Not now, I've got a fight to win!" The Kamui's wielder growled.
"Uh, Ryuko…?" Terry said, causing her to look down and notice that she was sitting on his face.
"OH FUCK! I am so sorry!" She exclaimed with a massive blush as she got off his face.
"Dios Mio. You have got one awesome looking ass." He said, shaking his head. This caused the girl to turn tomato red.
"Shut up and get back to fighting, you perv!" She squeaked.
"I was just givin' ya a compliment! No need to eat the head off my shoulders!" He snapped back, right as Satsuki was approaching them. And as she started attacking, the boy had to make sure he didn't hit Ryuko and managed to stop Bakuzan but the blast was enough to blow her through several walls and transform back to normal. "RYUKO!" He cried in concern before he was kneed in the gut by Satsuki before she started walking towards Ryuko.
"You are a fool, Matoi. I have mastered wearing my Kamui, all the while you haven't even begun to do so!" She exclaimed as she continued her stride. She then picked up Ryuko by her hair. "In a de-transformed Kamui, you're nothing. You might as well be naked."
"There's the pot calling the kettle black. What about your exhibitionist get up?" The girl spat, spitting in Satsuki's face.
"Hpmh! You know nothing!" Satsuki scoffed. "You cling to the laws of purity of the masses. If it is to fulfill my ambitions, then I will bear my breasts for the world to see! Because I know that my actions are utterly pure! And you are nothing compared to me!" She yelled before bringing her sword down, only to be blocked by Terry.
"That's where you're wrong, Satsuki." Terry told her. "Ryuko, you don't have to be embarrassed. My mother always told me that the best heroes are able to fight while looking good doing it. What's so wrong with showing your beauty to kick ass?" He told her.
"Yeah Ryuko! Get naked!" Mako called her friend.
Ryuko went silent as she contemplated his words. Why was she even embarrassed to begin with? She tried to find an answer, but ended up with nothing. She was simply being embarrassed for no reason, it would seem. So, with that in mind, she decided to fix that.
"... You're right." She said as she activated Senketsu again, and this time, her transformation was different. This time her chestplate was larger, she gained spikes on her skirt and finally she got two horns on her head. "Life Fiber Synchronize! Kamui Senketsu!" She yelled as she stood up, at full strength.
"Now you're getting it, Ryuko! Come on, let's dance!" Terry called with a grin under his mask. This led to them fighting Satsuki in such sync and unity that it looked as if they were dancing. Satsuki tried to block their attacks, but was hard pressed to do so with the speed they were coming at her.
'Amazing! So this is the power of a Symbiote and Kamui combined!' Satsuki thought as she jumped back. 'With them in my corner, I'll realize my dreams even faster than anticipated! ... I want them both!' She added mentally.
Ryuko then adjusted her grip on her sword and then it unfolded, becoming larger and like a katana, and Terry used life fibers he got after taking out around a hundred one stars and molded it into a red version of Bakuzan.
"Scissor Blade: Decapitation Mode!" Ryuko yelled.
"Blood Blade: Diablo." Terry said as the two charged and swung their weapons together, causing Satsuki to bend backwards and avoid it, the force of the slashes sliced the wall behind her to pieces. And the girl's breasts jiggled as she let out an excited gasp.
"You two… If I have both of you at my side, my ambitions will be achieved so much faster." She told them as she stood up straight again.
"Why would I help you?! You're probably the one who killed my dad!" Ryuko growled.
"What if I were to say, that if you joined me, I told you exactly who killed your father?" The raven haired woman asked, sword up.
"She's negotiating, that's a good sign." The Symbiote host next to her whispered.
"How do I know this isn't a trick?!" She yelled, gripping her blade tighter. Satsuki looked at her for a moment before her eyes softened slightly.
"... Because I know the pain of losing a father." She said softly. Ryuko stared at her before she lowered her blade.
"... What?" The girl gasped. This also seemed to catch Terry off guard as well. Satsuki nodded.
"Yes. It is something I have not forgotten, nor have I forgotten the little sister I lost as well." She growled, gripping her sword even tighter, a ghost of a tear trailing down her face. "A sister I never got to know." She growled angrily.
Terry took this moment to make a piece of his past known as well. "I lost my uncle years ago." He said sadly, causing them to look at him.
'Terry.' Satsuki thought. She knew his uncle was important to him because of how he spoke of him.
Ryuko sighed as she got ready to fight again. "I think we deserved a moment to blow off our anger, let's end this." She told them.
"I agree." The school president nodded.
"No argument here." Terry nodded as well. With that, they all charged forward as their weapons clashed.
(Later)
All three laid on the ground all in their dormant forms, breathing heavily. "That… Was intense." Ryuko gasped.
"Oh yeah. No doubt about it, chica." Terry groaned in agreement.
"I speak for all of us when I say that the three of us needed that." Satsuki stated as she breathed in exhaustion.
The three laid in silence before Ryuko spoke up. "I'll give helping you some thought, but there's things I need to settle first… I need time to think." She said.
"Same." Terry agreed.
"Very well." Satsuki nodded before all three of them fell unconscious.
(Later)
Terry slowly woke up, and found himself in his apartment, and a note was next to his pillow on the nightstand. As he read it, he smiled.
'I enjoyed our morning, let's do it again sometime. Come to my quarters during the morning for tea, I'll be sure to have a pot made.' It read.
"Looks like I've got tea to look forward to, don't I?" He chuckled to himself. He then decided to make some dinner. Fighting like that tended to work up an appetite, it seemed.
"Sounds like fun." Toxin grinned.
Dragon Emperor0: Well it seems like Satsuki made a pretty smart decision, making an ally of Ryuko and Terry.
ThermalsniperN7: She really did. We also got some insight into Terry's past, in the process, to boot.
Dragon Emperor0: Not to mention part of his ideals. Can't wait to see how things go in the next few chapters. Anyway, see you guys next week guys!
