Chapter 3: Unavoidable battle

That same night, Satsuki Kiryuin has arrived to the Kiryuin's manor a place that calls home beside Honnouji Academy and a vault where they keep the most horrible and darkest secrets of the Kiryuins and Life Fiber experiments the clan has kept hidden from the general public. Her arrival was greeted by a line of agents since Ragyo's servants are Satsuki's servants and vice versa.

"Welcome home Lady Satsuki." A hundred housemaid greeted their master's homecoming as she strolled to the deepest part of the mansion alongside her butler.

"Please milady, you can't! We have orders not to let anyone through here." One of the guards keeping the entrance to the hall that leads to the secret lab told the Kiryuin.

She orders them to stand aside but they refused. If they didn't hesitate, maybe they couldn't end with their asses kicked by her. "I don't have time to argue with idiots like you." She muttered to herself while continuing her way.

A giant metal door opened in front of her and her butler giving them access to the secret laboratory where Junketsu was sealed.

Satsuki got closer to the closet-like container, put the Biometic ID and open the container revealing a restrained Kamui.

"I've come for you Junketsu…" The ruler of Honno muttered. She knows that the Kamui will try to wear her or in a more simple context, take control of her body, but she didn't care since she has a great will to oppress the Kamui, easily defeat Ryuko and most importantly Overpower or at least equal Akira Kurusu in power.

Meanwhile, a chubby man wearing a suit like Soroi came running down the hallway to the lab. "How could you just stand there and let this happend Soroi!?"

"Well if it isn't master Kuroido." Soroi looked at the Steward of the manor.

"Lady Satsuki, you know your mother has forbidden anyone to remove that outfit. Now please, return it to the containment unit." Kuroido begged Ragyo's daughter.

"I will not."

The steward the sighted in desperation. "This won't do. The care of this manor has been entrusted to me, Takiji Kuroido steward of the Kiryuin family. And even if you're the lady of the house, I cannot allow such willful behavior."

"Cannot allow it? Who do you think you think you are talking to?" Satsuki asked Takiji while 4 spotlights flashed to her direction as she later took the clothing Soroi gifted him. "There's a lady trying to get changed here. GET OUT YOU PEASANT!"

"Lady Satsuki, you're not really going to try the kiryuin's Kamui on, right?" Kuroido tried to stop his master from wearing Junketsu, but his words were nothing but futile.

"I'm not just trying on." Satsuki responded while removing the plastic that imprisoned the God's robe. "I am fulfilling my ambition!"

"Please milady! If you put it on, you might not survive it!"

"Calm yourself! Clothing exists for a sole purpose, to be worn!" Satsuki cried while cutting her index finger with Bakuzan drawing blood. She then grabbed Junketsu and dropped the blood of her finger to awake the dormant clothing.

"Take my blood Junketsu, it is the eternal bow between you and I, the crimson thread of convert."

When Junketsu took a taste of her blood, her eyes snapped full of life and jumped straight to his new host like a leech carving for nutrients while Satsuki groaned in pan as the uniform forced her on her arms and legs.

"Lady Satsuki!" Both Kuroido and Soroi cried out.

"HOLD YOUR TOUNGES AND WATCH!" Satsuki barked while trying to resist the Kamui taking her over. "ASK NOT THE SPARROW HOW THE EAGLE SOARS! You aspire nothing more than the shallow thoughts of CommonAAAAAAGHHH!" Satsuki then felt the biggest headache on her life as she was sweating like crazy. She felt that her repressed feeling of lonilness, fear and sadness where taking her over as evidence of her eyes changing to a golden yellow color.

"Lady Satsuki! I demand you to take that Kamui on this instant!" Kuroido approached the Satsuki taken over by her Shadow.

"OUT OF MY WAY YOU UNDERLING!" Satsuki barked with a demonic tone using her will to make the steward fly away to a nearby wall.

"L-lady Satsuki I support your ambittions and all, but this is taking it too far! Junketsu is altering your emotions and the weirdest part is that's the first time he has done that to a host! Please milady, try to resist and remove that Kamui!" Soroi begged his master as he was really concerned by her health.

"SHUT UP! I won't allow ANYONE to beat me and my ambition or surpass me in power like that goddamn rebel bastard and his Persona! MY WILL IS ABSOLUTE!" The repressed feeling of Satsuki roared while blue electricity and black commets containing shadows from the deepest and ugliest part of her souls started to thrash the place while she commenced to dominate the Kamui.

"A KAMUI IS NOTHING MORE THAN A PIECE OF CLOTHING, AND I SHALL MAKE IT ALONGSIDE THIS IGNORANT WORLD BOW TO MY WILL! RGHAAAAAAAH!"

With Satsuki letting loose a powerful roar, a blue and black pillar of energy loaded with shadows shot towards and through the ceiling to the roof braking it and setting free hundreds of shadows to Honno city to cause chaos.


Senketsu gasped like if he woke up from a nightmare.

"Senketsu! Are you alright?" Ryuko woke up alongside Akira by hearing her Kamui's gasping.

"Ryuko! Did Santa came early?" Mako asked as she also woke up.

"That's strange… Is it me or does Senketsu feels, odd?" Akira called the girls because Senketsu's cloth felt less soft and more rough.

Mako then approached Senketsu and felt it. "Woah, that totally feels like goosebumps."

"Clothes can have goosebumps?" Ryuko was confused, but his uniform is sentient so…

"I don't know, but doesn't feel like it? Oh well, good night." Mako said goodnight as she and Ryuko slid back to their futons.

"Hey Senketsu, I see your concern about something. Is something bothering you?" Akira wanted to help his friend, but he needed to know the situation.

"I don't know, but I somehow felt like the presence about the awakening of something. Something sinister, and downright evil…" Senketsu explained his sudden gasping.

"Gaaaaah! Someone get this freak out of my face!" Mikisugi cried out outside of the house as he was being chased by a floating orb with lips and a tongue.

"N-no way! Or is Suyuko's cooking that's giving me hallucinations or that's actually…" Akira couldn't believe his eyes. There was…

"A shadow… Then Lavenza was right, our mere presence is luring shadows onto this world! Akira, we must do something before it kills that poor teacher!" Morgana ordered his friend before opening the window and jumping into the action.

Mikisugi got cornered by the Hablerie on the same back-alley Akira popped into this world. "P-please don't eat me! I have wife and kids, eat them! I'm just a humble history teacher!" Mikisugi simulated fear onto the shadow even though he has no idea who's dealing with. But before the shadow could do something…

"Megidolan!" A ball of almighty energy incinerated the shadow into ashes with a Joker wearing his pajamas and with a red star-shaped being behind him just to later transform into his glasses.

"Phew! I thought I would be dead for sure; I was seeing my whole life in front of my eyes. Remind me to put you an extra point on history for saving my butt." Mikisugi thanked the teenager while getting up while dusting his clothing.

"No need to thank me. By the way, why are you in the slums in the middle of the night? On your way to give some lessons to students who are behind, or you were going to a nightclub?" Akira joked as always.

"Not exactly. By the way, is Ryuko Matoi with you?" The teacher asked the student. What he didn't know is that Morgana pickpocket communicating device from his back-pocket from his pants.

"Hmm…? Why do you have a walkie-talkie saved on your back?" Kurusu was starting to suspect the history teacher.

"Eh… I-I found it laying on the ground I swear!" The leader of Nudist Beach nervously tried to make the best excuse, but Akira's curiosity was unkillable.

"Did Satsuki send you? Are you planning to steal Senketsu, spy on Ryuko? You know what happens to people who do dirty deeds on my watch…" Ren threatened the teacher while he summoned a giant fly-like Persona.

Mikisugi didn't show a trace of fear. "Woah, woah… Easy there Kurusu, don't take out conclusions so early. Maybe you also deserve some information too. After all, you saved Honnouji from an unbound beast." Mikisugi's tone then changed to a more seductive one as he took out his glasses revealing a handsome face. "Ever heard of Life Fibers?"

"Now that you mention it, yes. Satsuki Told me that Life Fibers are sentient threads stitched to the Goku Uniforms that enhances the wearers abilities to super-human levels." Akira responded Mikisugi's question. "But… why the sudden mood change?"

"Sorry for not telling you, but the awkward teacher's just a masquerade to hide my true self."

"Huh? Why?" Akira wondered.

"You see, I used to work for Matoi's father on Life Fiber studies until the Kiryuin noticed our actions and went to slaughter all of the remaining investigators including Isshin Matoi with only me as the last survivor. Now I command a secret organization foundated by Isshin dedicated to overthrow the Kiryuin clan and foil their plans for total world domination. But to do that I had to enter the academy as a teacher to know what they're up to since no one really bats an eye to teachers and are simply ignored. And yes, I was the one who guided Ryuko to Senketsu. So, you know the drill, you're a student and I'm the teacher so better not blow up my coverage. And if you need more questions, I'll be at my apartment at the One-star districts." Mikisugi confessed his intentions to the phantom thief.

"Um… Could you eh, know what personal space is?" Akira awkwardly asked the teacher while Beelzebub return to be his glasses.

"Sorry, I didn't know you weren't into that. By the way, about that weird thing. I see you know a lot of these things." Mikisugi wanted to know about the mysterious creature.

Akira didn't have any other option. It was fair to tell him about the shadows. "Those creatures are called shadows. They're psysical manifestations of negative human emotions, and when someone with strong distorted desires exist, it lures lesser shadows or in other words weak shadows like the one that was chasing you. I have encountered and battled my fair share of shadows."

"Oh, I see then, I'll take note of that. You sure are a man shrugged in mystery." Mikisugi flattered Akira while writing down what the phantom thief told him on a small notebook.

"Right back at ya'." Akira responded. "By the way, Ryuko is sleeping alongside the rest of Mako's family, but be sure to not wake them up."

"I'm a man of my word. So good luck tomorrow." Mikisugi said goodbye to Joker while walking to Bazaro's clinic.

"Wait! I have one last question!" Akira hold the teacher from his shirt without him even noticing.

"Yes?" He responded.

"It's about the form Senketsu takes when he transforms. Why does it make Ryuko look all kinky and well, look like a whore?"

"Good question. To be honest I don't really know, my best guess is that her dad was into that stuff or something. Well, good night." Mikisugi said goodbye once again leaving a phantom thief concerned about the shadows infesting Honno city.

"Shadows are attracted to the darkness within people's hearts, so I doubt that Satsuki's not behind this. Akira, we need to become more careful from now on, shadows could attack us and the residents of this world at any moment." Morgana prepared Akira for the worst while both headed to bed.


*The next morning*

Ryuko yawned as she and her partners walked to school's gate with Mako being her optimistic self and Akira still thinking about the shadow attack from yesterday.

"Watcha yawning for?" Mako asked her best friend.

"Where do I start Mako? First that pervert teacher decides to wake me up in the middle of the night to tell me these things like Kamuis, Life Fibers and that he and my dad worked until Satsuki's family killed everyone except him and some other weird shit. And I don't know about you, but I have a feeling that something really bad's about to happen. And what's up with you pervy kid?" Ryuko asked the thoughtful Ren.

"It's about something from yesterday's night. I think I need to talk with Satsuki personally…" Akira grunted.

When the trio crossed the star-shaped gate, they were greeted by flagship with the Honnouji academy symbol building an area fitting for a battle surrounding the three by no-stars and one-stars alike with a familiar bright light shining above all forcing the trio to shield their eyes. With the red stairs lowered in front of them, Lady Satsuki revealed herself in the top of the academy.

"Satsuki Kiryuin!" Ryuko growled with Akira frowning.

"Correct Ryuko Matoi." Satsuki responded back.

"Gotta handle it to you, this is some welcome, and nice uniform you're wearing. Did your mother bought it for you?" Ryuko taunted the empress' new clothes. "So do you have something on your mind or are you gonna stand there looking tough?"

HEEL CLICK!

"Yesterday, you said quote "finish this thing thing"." Satsuki reminded what Ryuko told her yesterday while walking down the stairs.

"Well aren't you the type to remember that stuff?" Ryuko responded before looking at Mako and Joker. "Hey guys, you better go back."

"Will do! I wanna live a healthy life." Mako understood the situation as she ran toward where the rest of the no-stars went, except for Akira who seem really pissed off.

"Fuzzy hair? Yo're gonna help me kick her as?" Ryuko got surprised by her friend's bravery.

"That's right, I have some questions to ask our dear president about an incident that happened yesterday…" Akira grunted while narrowing at the ruler of Honnouji.

"I admire your enthusiasm Akira Kurusu, but this is between Ryuko and I. If you wish to be humiliated by my hand, then better wait for your turn. Now sit and go grab some popcorn." Satsuki ordered the teen before Gamagori grabbed Akira by the left arm and dragged him into the crowd.

Satsuki then slammed her Bakuzan to the ground.

"Congratulations! You have the honor of being my first offering to Junketsu" Satsuki told her first test dummy to test her new Kamui's power.

"Junketsu means purity… I doubt there's something pure within that cold, dead and rotten heart of hers…" Akira muttered in disguist.

"Now Ryuko, feast your eyes and tremble!" Satsuki shouthed while flipping three switches wrapped around her arm and blue sparkling stars started to surround her starting her transformation as proof of Junketsu taking the form of a red liquid substance eating her whole to later explode in a bright blue light revealing the Kiryuin wearing a skimpy outfit similar to Senketsu with pointy eyes sitting on top of her shoulders.

"Life Fiber override! Kamui! Junketsu!" Satsuki cried out with confetti surrounding her and with the one-stars applauding her.

"What the hell is that?" The rebel girl asked out witnessing Satsuki's sudden transformation.

"You're not the only one with a Kamui, this is Junketsu!" Satsuki showed off her new Kamui while releasing steam. And unlike Ryuko, she wasn't blushing or anything.

"So, she found or made herself a Kamui before this match eh? Then that must mean she was afraid of Ryuko and Senketsu's power…" Akira muttered to himself.

"Uh-oh. Looks like little miss Satsuki broght something dangerous to show up in town." Mikisugi told himself while watching the ordeal on the classroom of class-K.

"Let's do this Senketsu!" Ryuko started her transformation. When finished, all the no-stars on the crowd were started to look at her like perverts.

"That's why you were scared yesterday? Cuz' you sensed her outfit?" Ryuko asked her Kamui while approaching the student council president.

"I have to warn you Ryuko, your opponent is much powerful than you."

"Thanks a lot for your pet talk." Ryuko grunted at her clothes.

Somehow, Akira could sense a proximate danger coming toward the crowd from just looking at the tension between the two Kamui wearers. "Everyone! Take cover!" The thief cried out before a gust of wind made by Ryuko and Satsuki's willpower sending ever single student in the crowd to the sky, including Akira and Mako.

"Incredible! Their willpower created a concessive blast!" Innumuta observed the events amazed while him and the rest of the elite 4 didn't moved a single mile from their position.

"KYAAAAHHH! IDON'TWANTTODIEIDON'TWANTTODIEIDON'TWANTTODIE!" Mako shrieked in fear while almost falling to the floor.

"Not if I'm around!" Joker then catch Mako and both rolled on the floor.

"You're safe now. But still, I-I still feel really bad for everyone I couldn't save…" Joker told Mako with resentment on his voice.

"Oh, don't worry. You'll be surprised how common these things here; you just have to accept it." Mako told Akira really calm while cleaning her clothes.

What Mako told Akira concerned him a lot. How can a school be okay with killing its own students and get away with it?

Both went to a place far away from the fight leaving the 2 girls all the space to fight.

"Be careful. Try to not lose too much of your blood. The more you lose, the faster you'll pass out." Senketsu advised Ryuko on her struggle.

"I know! I know!" Ryuko addressed her situation. When Satsuki's guard "went down", Ryuko slid between her legs to sneak up behind her. But she already saw that move a mile away and responded with blocking her attack and gently tapping Senketsu's eye with her Bakuzan sending Ryuko flying and crashing into the academ.

"Magnificent! This is the power of a Kamui!" Satsuki amazed her new clothing's powers while running up the wall of Honnouji academy to chase Ryuko whenever she is. "But even with all this power, all you can do is run away!" She mocked the angsty girl.

"Not even!" Ryuko cried out while getting and blocking her enemy's incoming attack.

"You're nothing! You're just a lump of mindless flesh squeezed into a Kamui!" Satsuki yelled at Ryuko while both clashed blades on the halls causing a lot of property damage.

"Yeah? What makes you any different?" Ryuko taunted Satsuki while throwing rubbles at the president.

"I am nothing like you! I've mastered the art of wearing my Kamui! Of wearing Junketsu!" Satsuki shouted out as she launches Dr. Matoi's daughter to the destroyed parts of the school.

"This is bad! If you lose any more blood, you'll pass out!" Senketsu warned her host.

"Then stop drinking so much of my blood! And talk about something else for a change!" She argued with her Kamui absolutely angered.

"I cannot be worn by you if I cannot drink your blood." Senketsu told Ryuko again.

"Yeah, I know that!"

"When you wear me and I am worn by you, that's when the power manifests. But you have yet to truly wear me." The Kamui told to his host.

"I'm wearing you right now ain't i?" She tried to make a point by snapping one of the Kamui's suspenders. "You're guzzling of my blood and I'm dying of embarrassment looking like a hoe! God, what more do you want from me!?"

"Calm down! That cost you fifteen seconds!" Right after Senketsu's report, Satsuki attacked from behind and with a swing of her sword making Ryuko fly through the wall back outside and landed into the front yard creating a massive shockwave letting her without energy to stand up.

"That's it, I'm done." Ryuko grunted making Senketsu return to his school uniform form with her lying on the floor face-down absolutely defeated. "Senketsu… Why…?"

Satsuki floated down a la DBZ and hitted her enemy by the arm. "Heh, how pathetic. Your Kamui might have spared you from passing out, but with a dormant Kamui you might as well be naked."

"Not sure how I feel about you roughing at me, especially in your exhibitionist getup!" Ryuko insulted Satsuki with the result being her throwing her into the ground.

"Exhibitionist? NONSENSE!" The student council president barked with disgust. "To unleash the most power this is the form a Kamui must take! You cling to the puritans view of the masses providing how inferior you are! But I won't be ashamed, if it means I can fulfil my ambition I will show my breasts for all to see! I will do whatever it takes! For I know my actions are utterly pure! Once I strip you out of you Kamui, I shall put it on a much better use for establishing my empire rather than some pointless vendetta you know will never achieve! NOW ALLOW ME TO REUNITE YOU WITH YOUR FATHER IN HELL RYUKO MATOI!" Satsuki shouted out with Bakuzan ready to decapitate Ryuko, until…

"That's enough!"

Akira blocks Bakuzan with Arsene making Satsuki step back.

"Akira…" Ryuko muttered while looking at her savior.

"Ryuko, this is your chance to run away! I'll take care of this!" Akira yelled while looking at Ryuko.

"Let's go Ryuko!" Mako yelled by grabbing her friend by her arm.

"By the way Mako, take care of my bag for a while." Akira handed his dufflebag with Morgana inside to Mako to later run away to a safe place.

"So… even though you witnessed Ryuko's humiliating defeat, you still deare to challenge me… You sure have a giant spirit, and I will enjoy crushing it until nothing remains!" Satsuki shouted at Akira pointing her Bakuzan to his head.

"Sorry, it's just that I couldn't stand some shitty elitist giving monologues that it's intentions are pure and that other crap. You claim that your actions are just, but it's nothing more than bullshit excuses!" Joker exclaimed while trying to intimidate the school council president.

This made the entire school gasp. No one in the wold has ever insulted Satsuki and her ambitions.

"You dare to critizise my ambitions…? Very well… PERISH!" Satsuki barked at Akira while trying to slash her head, but Akira dodged the attack by jumping with style and grace.

"Amazing! He dodged Lady Satsuki's attack even when she's wearing a Kamui!" Gamagori got surprised at the delinquent´s agility.

The phantom thief then gave an elbow to the president's suspenders, but she didn't felt anything.

"Akira, you're so clever yet such a fool at the same time! My Kamui when transforms hardens harder than the strongest of diamonds! So my entire outfil is like an impenetrable wall!" Sautsuki laughed out at the teenager's foolishness.

"In that case…" Akira snuck behind the president and literally kicked her ass and that sent her flying toward the school's door.

"Amazing! He managed to expose the Kamui's weakness by targeting the exposed parts not covered by Junketsu!" Innumuta was analyzing the whole fight since it could be useful for Honnouji.

"This is not over Akira Kurusu!" Satsuki shouted out while throwing herself at the phantom thief.

Both teenagers clashed and swing both blades and daggers with intense velocity and sparks were flying everywhere.

"I can't believe it! Even though Akira doesn't have a Goku uniform, he's not struggling against Lady Satsuki! It's like both are equal in power!" Jakuzure got amazed at both teenagers slashing blades on equal ground.

"What? It can't be! No one is stronger than Lady Satsuki!" Gamagori grunted at the wild card.

"Impossible! You don't even wear a Kamui or even a Goku Uniform and yet you appear to show superhuman feats! Are you Personas the key factor?" Satsuki wanted explanations right now while kicking Joker in the ribs.

This made him yell in pain and made him fall to his knees.

"How disappointing… I guess this is where we part ways…" Satsuki muttered while pointing Bakuzan at Joker's head.

"Not quite!" Joker then summoned Horus to heal all his wounds and then proceeds. To cast Kougaon sending Satsuki flying of the school walls with Akira following her.

Satsuki woke up inside a classroom but got interrupted by 2 Megidolan orbs chasing her that luckily managed to dodge, still the orbs exploded incinerating the desktops and other things.

Joker approached the student council president with Decarabia behind him. "I think this is the part where you lose, but still you put up a good fight."

That comment made Junketsu's eyes become more savage while Satsuki's eyes started to glow a yellow color while getting up. "I… I WON'T LOSE TO A PIG LIKE YOU!" The president shouted out with a demonic voice releasing a shockwave of darkness around her making the phantom thief take a few steps.

"Those eyes… it can't be, did Satsuki transformed a shadow-self?" Joker couldn't believe his eyes, Satsuki Kiryuin has given in to her twisted desires. But never on his phantom thief career has found a human being turned into a shadow-self. Could it be his mere presence corrupting the Kiryuin?

The Kiryuin charged forward the thief continuing the battle between the 2 with him summoning Arsene to attack. Unfortunately for the wild card, he was becoming more tired due to the overuse of his Persona. If he had his full power, he could easily defeat the ruler of Honnouji, but that's not the case.

"SCRAM!" The Kiryuin proceed to kick Akira so high it pierced to the floors until he stopped where the ruler of Honno usually stands.

Shadow Satsuki then chased down the phantom thief and pointed her sword into his throat

"Do you see what happends to pigs who try to rebel against the system that feeds them? They become the bacon that nourish the masses. Now I'll have you 2 options: You either concede and give in to my will or die." The Kiryuin threatened the teenager.

Luckily for Ren, he always has an ace up his sleeve even in the worst of situations. With a quick move, he stabbed the president on a bare non-lethal spot of his body making her drop Bakuzan and set the thief free.

The wild card just walked backwards where the edge of the platform was. "What the hell are you going to do? Are you fucking nuts!?" Shadow Satsuki thought that Akira was about to kill himself by jumping off the platform.

The thief just smirked in response and only said "See ya…" and jumped. It was all part of the trickster's plan, as evidence of him pulling a slice of a moon carrot from the pocket of his uniform that he always brings in case of emergencies and eats it making him feel like a new person.

"You won't get away! You must die by my hand!" Shadow Satsuki jumped off to chase down Ren and both teenagers were sharing fists while falling.

"Is still incredible how much your desire of winning is so strong to the point that is sickening Lady Satsuki. Even accept to release a horde of monsters that terrorize your city!" Akira yelled at the shadow-self while still fighting with fists

"I don't know what the hell are you talking about! And what if some die!? It's their fault for being too weak! The world belongs to the strong and powerful and the weak's only purpose is to serve the strong! It's natural selection jackass! And weaking Junketsu was not part of my plan, but when Ryuko came to ruin my life I had no other choice! I will kill a dozen if that implies to fulfill my ambitions!" Satsuki grabbed Bakuzan again and started to charge it with holy energy thanks to her shadow powers.

"Very well…" Akira muttered while summoning Beelzebub charging… "MEGIDOLAH!" Akira shouted casting one of his most powerful skills consisting of a giant ball of almighty power over him.

Both Bakuzan and Megidolah clashed creating a gigantic explosion sending flying a good number of students to the sky excepting the elite 4, Mako and Ryuko.

When the dust of the impact cleared, it revealed the lady of war ant the phantom thief with their weapons at hand, some seconds later, it happened something that has never happened on this world. Satsuki felt to her knees…

"NO WAY!" Jakuzure shouted out

"That smug bastard!" Sanageyama gritted his teeth.

"Did the new student defeated…" Innumuta couldn't compute the result of the battle.

"Lady Satsuki…" Gamagori muttered.

"Why… Why even If I wear a Kamui I lost to the likes of you…? It's suppouse that I had the upperhand in raw streght…" Satsuki grunted absolutely defeated with her eyes returned to normal.

"Yes, I must admit that you are the strongest here, but I was the smartest. And I couldn't do it without the bonds I made here. Personas also represent a bond you share with your confidants since you cannot walk the path of rehabilitation alone." Akira then offered his hand to the lady of war.

She of course rejected the help. "I-I don't need any help from you…" Satsuki snarled at Joker, denying his help. "Friendship? Bonds? Teamwork? That's nothing but nonsense. Nosnsense created by the weak to lie to themselves that they're strong, even when they depend on others. To accomplish a goal, you must not depend on no one to reach them! I-I'll fulfill my ambitions alone and me alone!" Satsuki bellowed, which gave Joker a deja vu of Akechi saying similar words.

"Speaking of which…" Ryuko was dragging herself with bandages covering most of her body.

"But Ryuko! I haven't finished patching you!" Mako exclaimed while being dragged by Ryuko's leg.

"What do you want now, Ryuko Matoi…?" Satsuki looked her face up to look at the defeated Ryuko.

"I'm sick of all your bullshit! Ambition this, Ambition that! You know what? I'm gonna smash all of that to little bits and shove them all in your ass, and then' you will be begging to me of what I know…" Ryuko gritted her teeth in response while having a smug grin of her face.

Satsuki was quiet for a long time until she started to grin while getting up like it was nothing. "So you're going to crush my ambitions, aren't you?" Satsuki took that as a declaration of war while climbing the red stairs.

"Do you know the story of Honno City? You see, when my mother built this artificial island with the infinite budget of the Kiryuin conglomerate and Built Honnouji Academy, she put me in charge on ruling the island with an iron fist and teach me how to command an army. Well I thought beyond that. First, I established a fully functional city and society by dragging the parents of my students, then Honno City became an official Japanese estate and finally, I have expanded my ambitions by conquering the majority of Japanese schools with the power of the Life Fibers and my Goku Uniforms. I'm warning you Ryuko Matoi, there were a lot of people and even full organization that dedicated their lives into overthrow the Kiryuin's ambition for world control, and none survived to tell the tale. By challenging me, you have already signed your death you foolish girl." Satsuki ended her monologue while getting on her usual spot of the Academy. She then turned around making a heel click calling not only the Elite 4, but also every single club president including the Honnouji Emperors.

"What? How fast are these people? Maybe we haven't known the true potential of those uniforms!" Morgana gasped on how quick they responded the Kiryuin's call.

"Honnouji Academy is my Empire! And if you think you can topple it alone then I accept your challenge. Starting today, every club will be after your head and your Kamui. Still think you can win?"

"You bet your ass I do!" Ryuko barked back.

"Very well, then defeat each and every student who challenges you! If you managed to do that, Junketsu and I will face you again."

"And if I defeat you, will you tell me who killed my dad?" Ryuko wanted to assure that Satsuki will spill the beans once she's defeated.

"I'm a woman of my word Ryuko." Satsuki looked down at the teenage girl with a grin on her face. "As for you…" Satsuki's attention changed to Akira. "You did well…" She whispered while retiring to her chamber.

Meanwhile, Mikisugi saw the whole ordeal from the window from class K. "I can't believe she's forcing Matoi to fight the students. What's she thinking? I wonder…"


After Satsuki's declaration of war against Ryuko Matoi, they arrived to home back at the slums. Akira told the girls that he's going to the market to buy groceries that Mako's mom asked him to do.

Somethime after Joker bought the least rotten food he could find and can affort, he heard weird girlish jiggles.

"Akira? Is it me or someone's spying on us…?" Morgana advised his friend about an unwanted stalker.

Ren would assume it could be a robber at worst, but those jiggles were so girly it kinda made his superstition wrong. Either way, he was still ready for everything. "Whoever you are, don't think I will submit to you if you try to rob me!" Joker tried to threat the mysterious person without using any of his Personas.

"Hihihi… But I don't wanna fight you, I just want a little chat with you." The girlish voice told the thief from behind.

"Both Joker and Mona gasped seeing someone sneak them from behind. The mysterious person appeared to be a blonde girl with really long pigtails and a pink ribbon, wearing a pink Lolita dress and carrying a parasoul of the same color. The most intriguing thing about the girl is that she had a purple eyepatch on her left eye.

"Excuse me, are you okay? I-I'm sorry you lost your eye… I know this city is really cruel most of the time. By the way, are you lost?" Ren asked the girl.

"Nah, I came alone. After all, I was watching you all day." The girl responded with a smile.

"Wait, what!?" Joker exclaimed.

"Well, of course you silly billy. What thing about watching you didn't you got? After all, you sure gave Lady Satsuki a great kick in her butt cheeks figuratively and literally." The girl said with such a happy tone it was disturbing.

"So you watched the whole fight…" Joker was amused how a girl was able to survive the gusts of wind mad by the slashes of Bakuzan.

"By the way, ever since your big victory, I became a big, big, big, big fan of you. No one has ever defeated Satsuki in the history of mankind and those Personas are so Cute!" The girl squeeled while running her finger on his ches on a suggestive way, and boy her hands were colder than the north pole. "By the way, that bag of yours, can I see it please please?"

The obvious response would be no. "Do you know what personal space is?"

"Sorry, silly me. Have to respect the private stuff of others." The girl responded. "Well, just a reminder this won't be the last time we're going to meet. Auf Wiedersehen!" The girl said goodbye in German while disappearing with a blink of an eye.

"Geez! What the hell is that girl supposed to be?" Morgana shrieked at the girl's disappearance.


Back at Satsuki's chamber, she was sitting on her throne covered in bandages after her fight with Akira.

"I'm sorry about your defeat against Mr. Akira Milady" Soroi apologized to his master while serving her tea.

"There's no need to Soroi." Satsuki responded while sipping her cup.

"If you insist so…"

"Grrr…! That smugging bastard! Lady Sastuki, allow me to avenge your pride by defeating Akira Kurusu!" Sanageyama asked his superior while gritting his teeth.

"I'm afraid I cannot allow you Sanageyama. Akira has proven himself to be as strong as me. So, if you duel him, you most likely end up with your uniform destroyed." Satsuki informed the Kendo President before he could do anything stupid. "And besides, our attention is to wipe Ryuko Matoi from the map and obtain her Kamui by any means. But still, if we want too submit the new guy to the Academy, we must analyze his strengths, speed, weaknesses and of course, his enigmatic Personas. And I know how to…"

"But Milady! You don't mean we're going to rush the day don't you?" Innumuta asked Lady Satsuki.

"I don't care! Gamagori, prepare the disciplinary committee and the trap club for tomorrow!" Satsuki ordered Gamagori.

"Yes, Lady Satsuki." He responded before leaving.

Satsuki the smirked. "Alright… Tomorrow shall shart the No-Tardies day!"
