Delsin then opened his eyes and looks around his surroundings. He was now in his room, laying on his bed.

He got up and groaned as he puts his hand on his head. Delsin couldn't believe it. He's now a Conduit. A Bio-terrorist. And there's no going back. No fixing this smoke thing that he has on his hands.

You're a Conduit now, kid! A Bio-Terrorist. Welcome to the world of "run for your life!" And that's what I aim to do, even if I gotta go through you.* The inmate said from a flashback.

That can't be right. There's got to be a way to fix this...Or else...I'll be locked up.*Delsin thought.

HIs door opened and he snapped out of his thoughts as he lifts his head up to see his brother entering the room.

"Delsin! Oh thank goodness, you're awake. How're you feeling?"Reggie asked.

"I'm good."Delsin asked.

"Alright, that's good to hear."Reggie said, sighing in relief.

"Did you carry me all the way back?"Delsin asked again.

"Yeah. I had to tell Betty and the others that you got hit by a car. They don't know about your powers yet and uh...We're gonna keep it that way. I don't want to spark some panic in the tribe."Reggie said.

"That's good. I don't want them freaking out after seeing smoke coming out from my hands."Delsin said.

"Oh I'd hate to think about that. Now come on. Since you're already awake, Betty's already made you some food. It's gonna cold if you don't come down and eat."Reggie said, walking out of Delsin's room.

"Alright, I'm coming."Delsin said as he gets up and leaves his room.

Later, he, his brother and Betty are now at the dining room, eating their dinner.

"How are you feeling right now, Delsin?"Betty asked.

"I'm getting better."Delsin replied before continuing eating his food.

"You're lucky you're brother is around here. If it weren't for him, you would've been hurt badly right now."Betty said.

"Of course. Um, thanks, Reggie."Delsin said.

"Don't mention it, man."Reggie said.

"And how is our Sheriff today, hm?"Betty asked Reggie.

"Doing good so far. Tomorrow, I'll be very busy since I'll be doing a lot of work."Reggie told them.

"That's great."Delsin said."So that means you'll be doing some patrolling or some paperwork tomorrow?"

"Something like those, yes. And I expect you to be in your best behavior when you go outside. I don't want to see you skipping classes or doing graffiti in random places."Reggie said.

"Sure, whatever you say."Delsin said.

"And that billboard needs some fixing too."

"Yeah, good luck erasing that."

Reggie sighed."Speaking of which, how's your first day at Honnouji Academy?"

"Um, pretty good. I managed to make two friends today."Delsin said.

"Oh, that's nice. Never seen you make friends since kindergarten."Reggie said.

"Well, you know me. I'm a socializing kind of guy."Delsin said.

Reggie raised his eyebrow upon hearing that.

"What? You don't believe me?"Delsin said.

"Like I told you. Haven't seen you make friends since kindergarten. About these friends of yours, are they good people?"Reggie asked.

"Definitely. One's a uh...fierce but calm student and one is a bit hyperactive."Delsin said, trying his best to describe Ryuuko and Mako.

"That sounds...Alright, I guess. Glad to hear you're making friends."Reggie said.

Delsin nodded and finishes his food."Okay, I'm done and I'll be heading to my room to get some shut eye. Night Reg."

"Night."Reggie said.

Delsin enters his room and laid down on his bed, thinking about what he would do now that he these smoke abilities. A small part of him wants to test it out but he didn't want anyone else figure out that he's a Conduit/Bio-terrorist.

Just maybe...Maybe I could do something with this. I gotta admit, this is actually pretty cool but...What would other people think? I'm a Conduit. A Bio-terrorist. They're afraid of them. And if they see me doing these smoke tricks, I'm gonna get locked up by the D.U.P. . No, no, that's not gonna happen. Just..be calm. Make sure you don't use them and you're fine. It's as simple as that.*

Soon after, Delsin closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

KILL LA KILL: THE SECOND SON

EPISODE 3: TENN-IS HER FAVORITE NUMBER

At Honnouji Academy, Lady Satsuki, along with a man with long, yellow-blond hiar, wearing a lab coat and a transparent orange mask, are walking through a lab where a few workers are making uniforms.

"They're pigs in human clothing, domesticated by the establishment. They must be governed by me, Kiryuuin Satsuki and Honnouji Academy. It is we who shall pave the way to humanity's future. The Ultima Uniforms are weapons to that end. The uniforms that this country makes its students wear are based on military uniforms. The raised collars on boys' uniforms come from the army. Girls' sailor uniforms are just that- naval uniforms. This country is a state that chose to make its youth wear military uniform during their education. Therefore, we at Honnouji Academy shall treat our uniforms as combat uniforms. They shall be a symbol of our control over pigs in human clothing. You of the Sewing Club are the chosen elite of our Human Conquest and Liberation Project. Carry out your work with the utmost care."Lady Satsuki told the man.

"Thank you for your kind words."The man said.

On Lady Satuki's right, Uzu was standing behind her and a blond woman with pig tails and cap was kneeling down at Lady Satsuki's presence.

"Tennis Club Captain, Hakodate Omiko, Third Year Class, reporting as ordered."The woman said.

"How are the preparations proceeding for the Hokkaido interleague match?"Lady Satsuki asked.

"Milady, all club members are devoting themselves to training. Those ursine hicks from the north will learn down to the marrow of their bones the might of Honnouji Academy and Lady Kiryuuin Satsuki."Hakodate reported.

"This is armed suppression in the guise of an interleague match. If the Tennis Club succeeds, our dominance of Northern Japan will be complete. Don't fail us."Uzu told her.

"I understand."

A case slowly comes down and its door slowly opens, revealing a Two-Star Ultima Uniform.

"This is a Tennis-Spec Athleticism-Augmenting Two-Star Ultima Uniform. A gift from Lady Satsuki."The man said.

Hakodate looks at it in awe."At last, a Two-Star Ultima Uniform of my very own! Thank you, Milady!"

"Carry out your mission."Lady Satsuki told her as she walks away.

"Without fail, milady! The entire Tennis Club shall pull together, redouble its efforts, and train even harder for the interleague match!"Hakodate said.

Lady Satsuki exits the lab and sits down on her seat as her butler pours some tea on her cup.

"Why do you not wear an Ultima Uniform, Miss?"The butler asked.

"This sword is more sufficient for me."Lady Satsuki replied.

"Are you saying no uniform is worthy of you?"The butler asked again.

Lady Satsuki does not answer to this and instead, takes a sip of her cup in silence.

The next day, Delsin was sitting on a police car with Reggie taking the wheel. He looks out the window in silence as Reggie drove around Honno City, heading their way to Honnouji City.

Reggie looked at Delsin who was staring out the window."You alright?"

"Hm? Oh yeah, uh, I'm fine. Just thinking."Delsin told him.

Reggie nodded and continued driving their way through Honno City.

"Listen Delsin, I don't want you thinking that what happened the other day is a good thing, alright? Those powers of yours...I want you to promise me that under any circumstances, you won't any of those tricks. Promise?"

"Of course, man. I promise."

"Good. I have a few connections at Honnouji Academy and if they see you using those tricks...Just don't do anything stupid."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I get it. I mean how hard can that be?"

"Who knows? Can you control it?"

"So far, a little."

"That's good to know."

After a while, they later stopped somewhere near Honnouji Academy.

"Alright, here's your stop."Reggie said.

"Thanks, Reg."Delsin said, taking off his seatbelt.

"Now remember, try to stay low as possible."Reggie told him.

Delsin got off the car."I know. So long, Sheriff."he said as he closed the door.

Reggie sighed and later drove away as Delsin watched him leave.

Delsin later walks his way to the entrance until he hears a voice from behind.

"Oooh, look! It's Delsin! Delsin, over here!"

He turned back and sees Ryuuko and Mako walking towards him.

"Yo."Ryuuko waved.

"Hey, how's it going, you guys?"Delsin asked.

"Where were you when you and Ryuuko left? You missed something awesome yesterday!"Mako said.

"Oh really? What did I miss?"Delsin asked.

"Long story short, I defeated the captain of the boxing club and rescued Mako who was about to be turned into fried shrimp."Ryuuko explained.

"It was so cool! Ryuuko was like "wah". "woooh", "whoosh"!"Mako said as she imitates a few karate moves.

"Wow. Sounds like you did a lot of butt kicking yesterday."Delsin said.

"You should've seen that guy's face when I defeated him. That guy didn't have anything on me."Ryuuko said.

"Nice."Delsin said.

After a while, the three of them walked around the academy grounds. Delsin looks at Ryuuko and notices that she is now wearing a black uniform.

"By the way, your uniform looks nice today, Ryuuko."Delsin complimented.

Ryuuko blushed upon hearing the compliment."Th-Thanks.."

"So where have you been after the fight?"Delsin asked Ryuuko.

"I've been at Mako's house. There, her dad patched me up after the fight and I stayed there for the night."Ryuuko said.

"Huh. That's nice of you and your family, Mako."Delsin said.

"Yeah, after that fight, Ryuuko was little whoozy so we took her in for a while. Oh, that reminds me. Ryuuko, Mom said that if you need a place to-"

Suddenly out of nowhere, a bunch of tennis balls were thrown at Mako's face, cutting her off mid sentence.

"Huh? Where did that come from?"Delsin said.

"Mom said that-"

Then, another set of tennis balls were thrown at Mako's face again, shocking both Ryuuko and Delsin.

"If you don't have a place to stay-"

Another set of tennis balls were thrown at her face again, hitting her.

"You can stay-"

Another set hit at her face again.

"With us-"

Another set hit at her face again, causing her face to swell up.

"She's already filed the paperwork!"

Then, another set of tennis balls hit her again which swells up her entire face.

"What the?!"Delsin said.

"Is this really the time for living arrangements?! Hey, what's the big idea?!"Ryuuko yelled, clenching her fist as she looks around for the culprit.

"Ah, you're the transfer student who was rude to Lady Satsuki, as I recall."

Delsin and Ryuuko turned to see Hakodate, now in her Two-Star Ultima Uniform, and few students of the tennis club, standing in front of them

"Stay out of this. I'm Hakodate Omiko, captain of the Girl's Tennis Club."Hakodate introduced herself.

GIRL"S TENNIS CLUB CAPTAIN, HAKODATE OMIKO

"Club member, Makanshoku Mako has failed to fulfill her club obligations, and as such, is now being purged."Hakodate said.

"What did Mako do wrong?"Ryuuko asked.

"She skipped yesterday's practice. Our rule is that anyone who fails to come to practice must suffer the 110 Million Cannonball Serve. An outsider has no right to complain about internal club policies."Hakodate said.

"Geez, isn't that a little too harsh? I mean she was only absent yesterday 'cuz she was being held hostage."Delsin said.

"Yeah! Of course she didn't come to your stupid practice."Ryuuko added.

"The issue is that she got herself taken hostage without permission."Hakodate said.

"Huh?! Since when do people need permission if they want to take someone hostage?!"Delsin asked, confused.

"Begin."Hakodate said.

The students served and tosses their tennis balls in the air before hitting them, sending the tennis balls straight at Delsin and Ryuuko.

Ryuuko lowers her case and uses it as a shield to protect her and Delsin from the balls.

"Oh man, this school's insane! What the heck is wrong with you, people?!"Delsin said.

"Get moving, Mako! You'll be expelled if you're late, right?"Ryuuko said.

"Mhm!"Mako nodded before scooting away from the fight."Thanks a bunch! I'll see you two later, okay?"

"Yup!"Delsin and Ryuuko said in unison.

"You should get moving too, Delsin. She's after me, not you."Ryuuko said.

Delsin smiled."No way. I'm staying here with you."

"What? But you'll-"

"I know it may sound stupid but honestly, this school is starting to get to me. First a dead body hanging on the first day and now, a bunch of crazy tennis players trying to kill you..and probably me. So what do say?"Delsin asked.

Ryuuko sighed."Guess there's no changing your mind, huh? Have it your way. But I do appreciate the accompaniment."

"My, this is getting interesting. You're not the main course for today, young boy but since you're siding with the rude transfer student, I guess you'll be my target as well."Hakodate smirked.

"I don't mind. Bring it on."Delsin said.

"Oh? Do you really think you two can take us on?"Hakodate said.

"Yep. Besides, I owe Mako for a meal and a night's lodging."Ryuuko said.

"How amusing. Don't get too full of yourself just because you defeated Fukuroda from the Boxing Club, Ryuuko Matoi."

Ryuuko then points her finger in the air."We're gonna make quick work of those Ultima Uniforms of yours! Let's do it Senketsu!"

She got to her stance and readies herself to face Hakodate. However, Senketsu does not answer her call and Delsin looks at her in confusion.

"Uh, what are you doing?"Delsin said.

"You'll see."Ryuuko said.

"Nothing's happening."

"In a minute now..."

A minute has passed and Senketsu hasn't answered Ryuuko's call.

"Hey! Hey, let's do this, Senketsu! Hey what's wrong with you?!"Ryuuko said hitting Senektsu.

"Ryuuko, what is going on? Why are you talking to your uniform?"Delsin asked.

"Just give me a second! Come on, Senketsu, wake up! What's your problem?! "Ryuuko said.

Hakodate was rather annoyed as she watches this."She's talking to her own clothes? How utterly pathetic. Guess I'll head for the other one then."

Her multipurpose lenses on her right eye changed lenses and sets her eye on Delsin."Die!"

Delsin looks over to see a bunch of tennis balls being shot at him.

Ryuuko turned and sees the tennis balls coming straight at Delsin.

"Delsin!"Ryuuko cried.

She steps in front of him and gets hit by the instead sending her flying over the edge and falls into the academy's water system.

"Ryuuko!"Delsin cried.

"What, a total shoutout? Guess she wasn't much of a challenge after all. Looks like you're next, kid."Hakodate said, glaring her eyes on Delsin.

Delsin gulped and began to think.*Oh no. Think, Delsin, think. What are you gonna do now that Ryuuko's gone, huh? Should I surrender myself? No way that's-*

His thoughts were interrupted when he sees a ton of tennis balls being shot at him. Delsin raises his arms in defense but suddenly, smoke starts to emit from his arms and blasts the the tennis balls into bits.

"Wh-What?!"Hakodate said in surprise.

As soon as the smoke clears out, Delsin looks at his arms to see that there was smoke emitting from it.

He widened his eyes."No. I didn't...I didn't mean to.."

Hakodate and the students around Delsin all gasped in shock as they see smoke coming out of his hands, now knowing what he is.

"A Bio-Terrorist!"A student cried.

"What's a Bio-Terrorist doing here?"Another said.

"Kill him!"Another said.

"No, wait! I can explain!"Delsin pleaded.

"DIE!"Hakodate yelled.

The students of the Tennis Club, including Hakodate herself fired the tennis balls at him. Without any choice left, Delsin charges up and unleashes a powerful Cinder Blast, which blasts the tennis balls into bits and sends the students and Hakodate flying to the walls.

Hakodate got up, enraged as she lifts her head and faces her opponent.

"Please, stand down. I don't want to go any further."Delsin said.

"Then maybe you should've ran in the first place!"Hakodate growled.

She and the students readied their tennis balls and Delsin clenches his fists.

I'm sorry, Reggie. Guess I'm going to be doing something stupid.*Delsin thought.

Smoke started emitting from Delsin's fists and the students, including Hakodate were about to serve until a light shone above them. Delsin winced his eyes from the shining light and Hakodate gasps, knowing who it is.

"L-Lady Satsuki!"Hakodate said.

"That's enough, Hakodate. Delsin Rowe is not your target."Lady Satsuki told her.

Hakodate looks at her in disbelief."What? But, he's a Bio-Terrorist! He must-"

Lady Satsuki clacks her weapon to the roof and Hakodate gasps lightly before kneeling down.

"Y-Yes, milady! As you wish!"Hakodate said.

Lady Satsuki looks at Delsin for a while before facing the other students.

"From this day on, I want all of you to keep this event a secret. No one, not even a single one of you, should ever tell what happened here. Do you understand, pigs?"Lady Satsuki said.

The students bowed in order."Yes, Lady Satsuki!"

A staircase is then formed right in front of Delsin and Lady Satsuki walks down, approaching the Conduit before her.

"Come with me. I have a few things to ask of you, Delsin Rowe."Lady Satsuki told him before walking back up to the staircase.

"Yes, Lady Satsuki."Delsin said and followed her.

Later, Delsin is now in the Studen Council Devas' Room, where Lady Satsuki sat on her chair, sipping on her cup. He looked around and all the devas had their eye on him. The way they looked at him was enough for Delsin to gulp loudly, especially Gamagoori.

"So, this kid's a Bio-terrorist, huh? Hey, Inumuta, how come you didn't add that he's a Bio-terrorist? You know how many of them we have right here around Japan?"Uzu said.

"I'm sorry. But he has no history in participating in Bio-terrorist activities. Nor did he have any records within the D.U.P."Inumuta said.

"Well then call them! Lock him up!"Jakuzure said.

Lady Satsuki "Silence! All of you."

Uzu, Inumuta and Jakuzure gulped and nodded."Apologies, Lady Satsuki."they all said in unison.

"So, tell me, Delsin Rowe. Our sources tell me that not once were you revealed a Conduit. So why reveal yourself now? Perhaps you were afraid?"Lady Satsuki asked.

Delsin sighed."I wasn't born one. But it happened yesterday when a military truck crashed nearby my home. My brother and I decided to check it out and when I did, I found an inmate. I helped him but then, my brother came in and the inmate held me hostage. He warned us by firing smoke at my brother. I had to stop him but then, when I grabbed him, I suddenly have these visions of his memory. The next thing I knew, I woke up and got these powers. I was scared. I didn't know what to do. So, I chased the inmate down, hoping he would fix me. But there was no hope. It was something it can't be fixed. Now, I..I'm fearing that I'd be locked away. And If anything happened to me, I..I don't know what to do."

It was silence for a while which made Delsin a bit nervous. Lady Satsuki looked at him and somehow, she sensed some innocence in him. Normally, if anyone had seen a Bio-terrorist they should report it but in this case, that wasn't what she was planning to do.

"What makes you think we can believe a story like that? Hey, Inumuta! Call the D.U.P.! Tell them we-"Uzu was cut off.

"There's no need for that. Delsin, you are free to go."Lady Satsuki told him.

Delsin was quite surprised. They're letting him go just like that? A Conduit/Bio-terrorist like him would be locked up by now but Lady Satsuki is somewhat protecting him. Nonetheless, he felt thankful for this and bowed.

"Thank you, Lady Satsuki. I will never forget this."Delsin said.

"Be sure your powers wisely. You're aware what happens to students who dare to defy Honnouji Academy, right?"Lady Satsuki asked.

Delsin nodded and later left the room, much to Uzu and the other deva's surprise.

"Why are you letting a Bio-Terrorist like him walking around the academy grounds?! He should be locked up!"Gamagoori said.

"It would be a waste to lock up a man with such skill. Besides, I think he could be of use for us in this academy."Lady Satsuki said as she sipped on her tea.

Delsin walked around the academy grounds, thinking about why Lady Satsuki just chose to let him stay instead of locking him up.

Why? I should be locked up by now but...she chose to let me stay? I wonder why.*Delsin thought.

He continued walking around until he walks to the tennis court and sees Hakodate practicing while Uzu watches her. Delsin looked around and sees that her students are using Mako, who is now tied up, as their target practice.

Delsin rushed over."Stop!

"Delsin!"Mako said

The students stopped and gasped as he arrived. Hakodate and Uzu turned and sees Delsin standing near to the tied up Mako.

"Well, if it isn't the Bio-Terrorist freak. Come to rescue your little friend?"Makodate said.

"Isn't obvious. Plus, just what the heck do you think you're doing?"Delsin asked.

"Can't you see? She's an unmotivated club member, so we are purging her."Hakodate said.

Gee, I can't believe Reggie would put me in here. This place is nuts!*Delsin thought.

"I suggest for you to walk away. You may be a Bio-Terrorist but unfortunately, I'm not supposed to target you under Lady Satsuki's order. Now, walk away."Hakodate ordered.

Delsin clenches his fists and Mako gulped as she watched. He was about to emit smoke from his hands until he hears a voice from afar.

"Not so fast, people!"It was Ryuuko said,

She came rushing towards the tennis court and gets in front of Delsin and Mako.

"Ryuuko!"Both Delsin and Mako said in unison.

"Sorry I'm late. It took me a while to get back up to my feet."Ryuuko said.

"The transfer student..."Uzu said.

Hakodate smirked and walked forward."You've come for another beating?"

"As if! This time, I'm gonna knock you all on your butts!"Ryuuko exclaimed."Let's do it Senketsu!"

She then pulls something from a red glove on her right hand, equipping Senketsu. Delsin eyes widened and was a bit surprised by Ryuuko's outfit.

"Woah, Ryuuko, where did you...? Why's your outfit like that?!"Delsin said.

Ryuuko looked at him, blushing."Don't look at it!"

"That looks both painful and embarrassing, you masochistic cosplayer."Hakodate said.

"Bite me! I'm no cosplayer!"Ryuuko exclaimed.

"Quit splittin' hairs!"Hakodate said as her students formed up behind her."Let's begin! 110 Million Serve!"

Hakodate and the students served, shooting a ton of tennis balls straight at Ryuuko. Delsin was about to fire smoke at the balls but Ryuuko steps in front of him, protectively.

"Delsin, get back!"Ryuuko said.

She takes out her Scissor Blade and slashes all the tennis balls into pieces. Hakodate grits her teeth in frustration as she grips on a tennis ball, disappointed that she hadn't laid a single hit on her opponent.

"Fault! You're disqualified, transfer student!"Uzu said, much to Ryuuko's shock.

"What?!"Ryuuko said.

"But she evaded her attack!"Delsin said.

"True but slicing balls in half is against the rules! In other words, transfer student, you've won the fight but lost the match!"Uzu said.

"Huh?"Both Delsin and Ryuuko said in unison.

"Listen up! What you're standing on is a tennis court! That means you can't say you've won unless you win according to the rules of tennis!"Uzu told them.

"Hey! Why are you getting all picky now?! What about yesterday?"Ryuuko said.

"That was yesterday!"

"This is crazy! When we were boxing, we-"

"Doesn't matter! You're disqualified!"Uzu said.

"That's not even fair!"Delsin said.

"No, she won!"Mako said.

She somehow managed to untie herself from her restraints and began explaining why Ryuuko won.

"Ryuuko won! She won!"Mako said.

"What?"Uzu said, confused.

"Ryuuko rescued me! She may have lost the match but she won at friendship! Winning at friendship means winning at life! Listen...If you're going to be like that, you leave her no choice! Ryuuko will win! Even in tennis, even in tennis, even in tennis, she will win! Don't you agree, Delsin?"Mako said.

"Uhh, yeah I agree."Delsin nodded.

Hakodate smirked and puts her tennis racket around her shoulders."So, you're saying that you want to face me, the Tennis Club Captain, Hakodate Omiko, in a tennis match?"

Her lenses changed and they stared each other down at the tennis court.

Mako hands Ryuuko a tennis racket."Here! Do your best, Ryuuko!"

Ryuuko wasn't really sure whether or not she could a win tennis mathc with Hakodate.

"Can I really do this?"Ryuuko asked.

"You can. We're rooting for you, Ryuuko."Delsin encouraged with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Ryuuko smiled and faces her opponent."All right, all right...Let's do this!"

Later, a tennis stadium is set up and a crowd of students roared in excitement as the match between Ryuuko and Hakodate was about to begin.

Uzu sat on the umpire chair and makes his announcement."Special rules! The match is one game! Decide who serves first!"

As the match was about to begin, Ryuuko was picking on the net of her tennis racket while Delsin and Ryuuko cheered for her.

"We're watching, Ryuuko!"Mako cheered.

"Good luck out there!"Delsin cheered.

Hakodate puts her hand on her hip and smirked as she readies her tennis racket."She's a rookie. I'll let her serve."

"I'll take you up on that, then! I won't hold back!"Ryuuko said.

She then served, sending the tennis ball straight at Hakodate, who licks her lips and surges forward.

"Too weak!"Hakodate said.

The captain of the Tennis Club hits the ball, sending right back at Ryuuko's field. Ryuuko dashed up and hits the ball, sending it right at Hakodate.

"She's fast!"Hakodate said.

Hakodate quickly hits it and the ball is sent right at Ryuuko's field. Ryuuko tries to hit the ball back but due to the force that was applied to the ball, it breaks through the net of her tennis racket and heads right to a spike, getting destroyed afterwards.

"Love-fifteen!"Uzu announced.

Ryuuko smirked and tosses her tennis racket away.

"Not bad. I'm just getting warmed up. You're just beginning to learn the might of the Tennis-Spec-Athleticism-Augmenting Two-Star I received from Lady Satsuki!"Hakodate said.

Ryuuko gets another tennis racket and served."Interesting!"

The ball heads straight to Hakodate who then hits it, sending it right back to Ryuuko.

"That won't work this time!"Ryuuko said.

Ryuuko then hits the ball but to her surprise, the ball rolls it way up to her and hits her cheek, sending her to the air.

"Ryuuko!"Delsin said

"Love thirty!"Uzu announced.

Hakodate smirked as she watched Ryuuko flying into the air."I knew you'd try that. That's why I put a special spin on my serve."

Ryuuko crashed right into the wall and grunted in pain. She growled and later gets back up to her feet.

"Here we go!"Ryuuko said as she served.

Suddenly, her tennis racket broke completely as she served, much to her shock.

"Fault!"Uzu yelled.

"Oh come on!"Ryuuko exclaimed.

She gets another tennis racket and served however, the tennis ball was sent flying to nowhere after she served.

"Double fault! Love-forty!"Uzu announced.

"Come on, Ryuuko! You can do this!"Delsin said.

Mako snored and later woke up."Ryuuko, this is your last shot!"

"What's the matter, transfer student? Hurry up and serve!"Uzu said,

Ryuuko lets down and grits her teeth as she stares at her tennis racket, feeling that she might break it again if she used it.

"Ryuuko! Catch!"Delsin cried.

She lifts her head up and sees Delsin carrying her Scissor Sword. He threw it towards her and she catches it with her hand.

Ryuuko smirked."Thanks, Delsin!"

Ryuuko grabs a string and makes a net around the Scissor Sword's handle."Right then...this should do it!"

Uzu and Hakodate are shocked upon seeing this.

"You can't be serious!"Hakodate exclaimed.

Uzu whistled."Faul-"

He was cut off mid sentence as a light shines above the crowd and a voice is heard.

"It's all right."It was Lady Satsuki."Play along, Hakodate. Show us all the power of your Two-Star."

Hakodate bowed."Yes, milady!"

Uzu bowed as well."As you wish!"

(play Before My Body Runs Dry)

Ryuuki lifts her head up, noticing Lady Satsuki from above.

"Kiryuuin Satsuki, you're looking down on people and barking out of orders, same as always. It's creepy."Ryuuko said, gripping on her Scissor Sword.

Lady Satsuki looked down."You're going to show me just how much of that Kamui's power you can tap into."

Ryuuko was surprised."You...You know that this thing is called a Kamui?"

"Not so fast. Your opponent is there."Lady Satsuki told her.

Ryuuko growled lowly as the match begins and Hakodate points her racket at her opponent.

"I'm going to use a live-fire exercise to loosen up for the Hokkaido away series!"Hakodate said.

"Let's do this then."Ryuuko said as she readies her Scissor Sword.

She raises her Scissor Sword and served, sending the ball straight at Hakodate's field.

Hakodate moved to the side and tries to prevent the ball from moving out of the field.

"On the court, you can only count on yourself!"Hakodate said, struggling to get the ball sending back.

But then, she turns her head and gasps to see Ryuuko appearing in front of her.

"Nobody gets it!"Ryuuko said.

Hakodate whimpers and hides her face behind her racket. Ryuuko takes none of this and serves over and over again, sending the tennis ball straight at her.

The ball hits at her face multiple times, sending Hakodate into the wall and she later crashes at it.

A bunch of spikes then flew at Ryuuko but she manages to slice them to pieces using her Scissor Sword.

Seeing the limp Hakodate flying towards her, Ryuuko takes this chance to use her Scissor Sword to defeat her, slicing her Ultima Uniform in the process and later absorbs a small red beam coming out of her uniform.

"STRIPPED" OF THE WILL TO FIGHT!

(end song)

Delsin smiled."Atta girl."

"You did it, Ryuuko!"Mako cheered.

"Oh, dear. It looks like the match can't go on."Ryuuko smirked.

She then turns her head to see Uzu and a bunch of uniformed students showed up and faces her.

"Don't get full of yourself."Uzu said as his left eye twitches.

"Wait, Sanageyama. The winner of that match is that girl."

Ryuuko and Uzu dropped their jaws as they see that Lady Satsuki is already in the tennis court with them.

Uzu and the students backed away."Lady Satsuki!"

"So, are you going to tell me? Are you the woman with the other Scissor Sword?"Ryuuko asked.

Suddenly, Ryuuko then gets her shoulder slashed by Lady Satsuki's weapon. It was so fast that not even Ryuuko nor Senketsu could see it coming.

"What?!"Ryuuko exclaimed.

"If you wish to know the answer, you'll need to prove yourself!"Lady Satsuki said.

"Ryuuko, if you're going to fight, you must win within two minutes. Otherwise, you're going to pass out again."Senketsu told her.

"That's because you drank too much blood!"Ryuuko said.

Lady Satsuki then readies her blade."Secret Sword Bakuzan. This blade can even cut even a Kamui."

SECRET SWORD BAKUZAN

"Its edge is even keener than that scissor's."Lady Satsuki said.

She surges forward and swings her blade at her. Ryuuko acts quickly and the two of them clashed. Then, the force of their clash sends a few students away, flying.

The pressure's incredible...Her fighting skill is amazing!*Ryuuko thought.

Steam starts emitting from Senketsu and Ryuuko backs away."Mark my words! Next time, I'll finish this once and for all! Let's go, Delsin, Mako!"

The three of them later disappeared in a plume of steam and Lady Satsuki lowered her blade after Ryuuko, Delsin and Mako ran away.

"Forgive me, milady. I underestimated the transfer student."Uzu said.

"Hakodate is demoted to a No-Star. As for Hokkaido, set up an interleague match with the Sumo Club."Lady Satsuki said as she sheathes her weapon.

"As I expected, a Kamui is most formidable. To think it could turn away my blade...I shall remember this, Matoi Ryuuko..."

Meanwhile, Delsin, Ryuuko and Mako walked their way down the streets.

"That was so cool, Ryuuko!"Mako said.

"Yeah. Using a weapon as a sports equipment? Now that's something else."Delsin said.

"Thanks. But I should also thank you for throwing my Scissor Sword to me. It was getting frustrating using something that would break over and over."Ryuuko said.

"Don't mention it. I thought it was stupid at first but it managed to end up pretty well."Delsin said.

"Anyways, come on, Ryuuko! My mom will be making dinner soon! Let's hurry!"Mako said.

"You're staying at her place?"Delsin asked Ryuuko.

"Yep. Not exactly the best but the hospitality is fine. I'll see you tomorrow, Delsin."Ryuuko said

"See ya, Ryuuko."Delsin said.

Ryuuko smiled and later followed Mako home while Delsin heads his way out of Honno City.

After a while, he arrived at his room and laid down on his bed. He began thinking about the event that happened earlier, especially when Lady Satsuki decided to let him walk free in the school grounds.

Delsin looks at his hands and clenches both of them. People are afraid of Conduits/Bio-Terrorists and if anyone would see him shooting smoke out of his hands, he's done for.

But what if a Conduit/Bio-Terrorist decided to use his/her power for good. Delsin then sat up from his bed and smiles as a thought ran to his mind.

It was later nighttime and everything was quiet. Delsin ran to an abandoned beach nearby the fish cannery and later sets up a few practice dummies.

He looks around the area to check if anyone was there. Not seeing anyone in sight, Delsin looks at his hands and readies himself.

"All right. Let's do this."Delsin said.

(play InFamous Second Son OST- Second Son)

Delsin stretches his arm out and smoke began emitting from his arm. Then, a blast of smoke shot out of his arm, shooting down the practice dummy. He looks at his arm and smiles.

"This is so cool!"Delsin said.

He fired another, shooting down another practice dummy. Delsin fired more and soon took down a few more practice dummies. He looked around and finds a chain lying on the ground.

Delsin picks it up and wraps it around his right arm."Yeah..This'll work."

Smoke started to form on the chain and Delsin uses it as a whip, taking down a few practice dummies. He smiles and takes down even more practice dummies using his weapon.

Soon enough, he took down all of the practice dummies which were all destroyed due to his smoke powers. Delsin looks at his hands and smiles at his newfound power.

Reggie, I know what you're thinking right now. I promised that I won't use my powers under any circumstances. And...I broke that promise, twice. But let me make a promise to you and to myself. From now on, I'll be using my powers for good.*Delsin thought.

He looks down at the burnt remains of the dummies before walking his way back to the fish cannery.
