Chapter 16: Life Will Change
Days Until: The Cultural and Sports Festival Begins: 3
Save the Kansai region from Honnouji Academy!
"SENKETSU!" Ryuko instantly woke up after some time while stretching her hand after the humiliating defeat she got against Nui Harime who achieved into destroying the only thing she can relate to her father, and her closest friend. Once she recover all sense back to her mind, she shook her head for a while and looked around. For what it looks like she wasn't on the slums neither any place she has visited on Honnouji. The place looked more like a dweller under the sewers straight out of the ninja turtles and she seems to be covered by a blanket. And thank goodness cuz the only thing surviving after that attack was her underwear. Apart from that, she seem to just, lost everything…
"I'm glad that you are finally awake Ryuko. I can't imagine Akira's face if you were to pass through the gates of heaven." Mikisugi was relief that Ryuko have awaken from her long slumber, even when he wasn't looking at her direction. "I've would like to add a punchline now, but right now, you would just kill me if I even say the first word."
All that Ryuko was expecting from the mouth coming from the perverted blue-haired adult. Maybe something about always whenever she awakes, she ends up on his couch half-naked and then ask her to become a nudist for the billion time. She was received instead by a serious and caring voice coming from the leader of Nudist Beach. Though, he still had that disguise that made him look like a middle-aged teacher.
"Oh… it's you…" She said with a soft voice before covering herself with her blanket out of shame for her act of pure foolishness and recklessness. "All I'm just hoping from now on is that no one has taken photos of me if I was like this… Much less if it was you…"
"Eeehh, luckily we took you here before any pervert would peek on you." Mikisugi rearranged his glasses before letting go a soft chuckle. "Anyways, welcome to the Thieve's den. Feel free to to relax. We are only the 2 of us after all." He told the girl with the dash of red, giving her information about the secret base on Honnouji Sewers. "And relax, I do have my limits. After all, if we didn't took you here, the local cops would just arrest you for public nudity."
"Oh h-hey! W-where are the other ones?" Ryuko looked then around to see if what Aikuro said was true. And it was as she seems to see.
"The others? Well, they went to their assigned positions to defend the schools still not conquered by Honnouji Academy. Speaking of which, Akira told me that unfortunately Mako has involved herself into the war and is now helping Satsuki Kiryuin take Osaka." Mikisugi told her. Sure, this would hurt Ryuko knowing that her best friend would be in imponent danger, but the truth must be the truth. Speaking of which, he could still remember how the thieves re-organized themselves.
*Sometime before the Raid Trip would begin*
The thieves and Mikisugi have successfully returned to the Thieve's den. They went to the loby to leave Ryuko laying on a couch and cover her with a blanket. The group then seat and took places to discuss about their current situation.
"Alright, I think we're all settle in." Morgana was the one to speak fist as he stood in the center of the table of the lobby of their hidden lair. "It's still 08:00 p.m. so we have time before Satsuki initiates her plan." Morgana told everyone before drawing his attention to Sanageyama. "Sanageyama, you used to work with Satsuki Kiryuin. Can you tell us anything you know about anything she plans for the Raid Trip?"
"To be precise, I'm not really sure." Sanageyama who still was wearing his thief attire as he wasn't comfortable with the idea of almost wearing nothing talked out as he place his legs on the table while sitting on a nearby chair. "Satsuki tells us the steps of her ambition every time we completed a step of it. All I know is that this invasion has 2 intentions. The first one obviously is to submit the remaining schools of the Kansai region and force them to wear REVOCS Uniforms."
"Knowing that the Japanese government distributes the school uniforms, the only solution Ragyo had in mind was to take ownership of every school on the country to enslave its students to the Life Fibers." Mikisugi added out.
"Basically painting every white rose with red on her garden, even those that are already red." Tsumugu was the next to talk.
"And thanks to your dog friend chewing up our communications, seems that we can't communicate with eachother without the Kiryuin finding out. Though, luckily our pirated network and private VPN will allow us to communicate between the 7 of us." Maiko was the next to open her mouth.
"Ehem… As I was saying, their secret and true objective of the Tri-City School Raid is to dispatch Nudist Beach by making them get out from the bases like rats getting out from their burrows." Oni Mask proceed to recap Honnouji's plan.
"Phew! A bit of a relief that we told our branches about this. The thing now is that we can't contact them when Satsuki attack." Hakodate spoke out as it was her turn to talk.
"Not to mention the Shadows aiding each one of the Elite's troops." Akira added to the conversation to bring awareness of the Shadows Honnouji managed to adquire. "if the battle against Yamata-no-Orochi taught me something, those Shadows infused with Life Fibers will prove to be a big obstacle for us."
"Though fortunately for us, seems that Gamagori won't be sending those things to assault Kobe." Mikisugi added afterwards.
"Well, he did mention that he opposed the idea of using Shadows, and more if it implied infusing them with Life Fibers." Akira said as he remembered what the 20 year old chair of the Disciplinary committee told him about his opinion on Satsuki using Shadows for her needs.
"Nevertheless, at least we have an advantage over Honnouji Academy if it implies when we talk about you guys." Aikuro added as he referred to Sanageyama, Tsumugu, Akira and Morgana who had the powers to awaken Personas.
That made Akira look oddly to Tsumugu.
"What are you looking at now, punk?" Kinagase opened an eye in slight frustration as he felt a bit uncomfortable having the black haired teen having his eye watching him over.
"Don't know. You know, when It comes to members of the Phantom Thieves, it's just… weirds me having an adult forming part of the group… Much less someone skilled and that almost puts us in shame."
Tsumugu grinned devilishly. "What? Is there anything bad with a responsible figure watching over some teenagers and prevent them from doing anything stupid?" The Mohawk adult replied. "Besides, it's not like being in your twenties makes you that ancient. Just take a look at Mikisugi, he maybe have a College Degree, yet he still has that aura and attitude of a dumb-as-nut teenager." He replied, as Tsumugu and his boss Aikuro was partically in his late twenties. Oh, if only Joker would know there was another adult older than them joining the thieves in their striking future (Wink, Wink…)
"Uggh… I think you're right…" Ren sighted a bit frustrated. Though, Tsumugu was right. Knowing some slip-ups their team made that would cause them their missions. "Though, we haven't decided a nickname for you Tsumugu."
"Is that really necessary? Anything wrong of being just called by my real name?" Kinagase questioned the term of why using a nickname in the first place. "Look, I know the gig. Thieves are called by nicknames and all that shit, but ever since you put your ass in Honnouji Academy, you haven't done that much thievery recently."
"Does this answer your question?" Akira then made the nudist look again to him, noticing that he was spinning his needle gun with his right index finger. He then passed the weapon again to the owner, who had a bit of a frustrated face. "Anyways, I don't want this to drag out for too long. Knowing that at least you would make a better nickname than Sanageyama, I think you can make your codename this time." Akira told the nudist.
"HEY!" Sanageyama felt a bit attacked on what Kurusu told him. No matter what anyone thinks, he will be referred as Oni Mask and end of the conversation. He expressed his frustration by crossing his arms and slightly pouting.
Kinagase was at least glad that Akira acknowledged that this nickname chat would only waste their time. He thought it for some seconds, until he remembered one of the recent nicknames he directed toward Akira. "Hmm… How bout' Punk?"
"OOH!" Morgana purred happily. "Punk… I like it. Tough and Straightfowrard! Just like you!" He added as the mohawk adult smirked at the cat. To think that the cartoon-looking cat would be one of the one of the most mature members of Nudist Beach rather than a clown wearing a superhero costume. Then again, this world is full of very weird people, to the point that makes normal people look weird in comparison.
"Now that we're over, let me show you this baby I've been building! BAM!" She shouted as she pull out another one of her ingenious Inventions that looked like a backpack attached to a hose thingy that was also attached to a oversized tube-turbine that made it look like the Proton Pack from the Ghostbusters or the Poltergust from Luigi's Mansion. "Behold, My masterpiece! The COVERS CRUSHER 3000 APLHA!" She shouted out as big damn red letters appeared in front of her. "I'd had the theory. Since it's hard to strip a Goku Uniform wielder unless we lower their guard and go for the Banshii, why don't we suck their Uniforms out of them instead!? Not only this baby is capable of Vacuuming up a person wielding a Goku Uniform and shred its clothes, but also launch them like a projectile! I know, I'm an absolute evil genius!" She then proud herself as she re-arranged her glasses.
"Man… You people sure are weird…" Hakodate sweatdropped.
"Oh, really!" The other members looked at her. Coming from the girl having a multi-lens for a left eye. She's almost like a semi-cyborg.
"But there's still something that unsettles me." Akira muttered while placing his thumb and index finger between his chin. There was an issue that has taken the Phantom Thief which made him unsettled. "It's about Nui Harime, and how she now possesses a Persona…"
Once the teenager dropped the topic down the table, a silence sprouted inside the den of outlaws standing against the Kiryuin clan and the Life Fibers.
"Right… Before she captured me, she showed some kind of spider-lady monster. After all that crap, the next thing I saw is that I was in Wonderland." Tsumugu recapped the events prior to this meeting for everyone to inform.
"A Spider lady… Hmmm…" Mikisugi thought for some seconds and finding an answer about a spider lady from his library in the mind. As much as he had knowledge about how to flirt with boys, girls and a good chunk about Life Fiber biology, so he had with all sorts of cultures and folklore. "I think what you're referring to is the Yokai Jorogumo." The Nudist told everyone. "It's basically a spider taking the form of a beautiful maiden on a kimono to lure young and handsome men like flies flying toward her web, just to later trap them and eat them. And i don't want to boast, but I'll make quite the tasty snack myself." Aikuro unleashed his Casanova side as he posed and his shirt fell off, revealing his nipples that for some weird reason can glow a purple light.
"Kinda fitting for a bitch in sheep clothing." Tsumugu humped in response, feeling a bit uncomfortable bout his boss stripping habits. "And please, put your shirt again Mikisugi… We're not on the battlefield yet and you're already stripping yourself."
"But… The question is… how did she managed to get one? I've doubt that she would gain by normal methods…" The leader of the Phantom Thieves' train of thoughts sprinted itself full steam ahead as he was thinking how or WHO gave Nui Harime her newfound powers. "Morgana, do you know anymore ways of awakening a Persona?"
"I-I don't know Joker!" Morgana cringed as he didn't had that many responses to tell them. "There's so many ways someone can awaken a Persona. I only know 2 ways of unlocking!" But something deep inside the feline's mind began to sprout. "Though, that gun she was holding… I swore I have seen it somewhere…" Morgana somehow felt some sort of Déjà vu over the Evoker Harime had on her disposal.
"Can we talk about that later. All we're doing is wasting time we can use to our advantage!" Sanageyama put order as he stood up in frustration and stomped the floor with his left foot.
The rest of nudist agreed to skip the conversation about Nui Harime for later and concentrate again into the Tri-City School Raid. "Though fortunately, we all know for a fact that Satsuki Kiryuin will not allow the Grand Corturier to participate and help knowing how the 2 relate to one another. Though, I cannot say the same thing about Ragyo's secretary." Mikisugi warned everyone as he pressed a command on his tablet, causing a projection that showed Rei Hoomaru. "If we know for a fact, is that Rei Hoomaru is as loyal to Satsuki as she is to Ragyo. Just because she looks weak doesn't mean she is, to the contrary. She's as or even More Strong than Nui Harime." Mikisugi slid his finger on his tablet to pass to the next exposition of his archives. "She wields a 5-Star Goku Uniform, the Mold Regalia. A business suit capable of almost morphing into anything she desires. From blades, stretchy arms or even laser guns. The reason she possesses a high tolerance to Life Fibers is due to her being born and raised on Africa, a country with never-ending conflict. Knowing how messed us that place is, its no surprise her mind is as sharp as blade."
"So we have to watch out and advise everyone if we crossed paths with her." Hakodate responded.
"But there's still something unconserting me…" Senketsu talked from Akira's pocket, which made the Phantom Thieves widen their eyes for a moment.
Kurusu then pulled out the Kamui's eye and smiled. "Oh right, everyone talked out and we forgot about you Senketsu." He told the sailor's eye with a smile.
"I thank you for recognizing my turn to talk out Akira, but I don't know how I will communicate to the others who don't have a Persona."
"Hmmm…" Kurusu then got a simple idea. "I know! I'll just be your traductor and I'll tell the others what you want to say. It's not that hard."
Senketsu nodded, thinking that it could be a good idea. He coughed for a second before beginning his argument. "What I want to warn you all, is the fact that Satsuki Kiryuin has the possession of all my pieces plus Ryuko's Scissor Blade." Senketsu told everyone as Kurusu told the rest to understand him.
"Hmmm…" Mikisugi then machinated a little hypothesis seeing how the Kamhu was able to be alive, despite most of his pieces being torn into pieces. "That means that Honnouji Academy has now 2 Kamuis in their arsenal. This is bad…" Aikuro grunted, looking a bit desperate as he bit one of his fingers.
"Wait! Does that mean t-t-they can have 2 Kamui wielders now?" Haokdate stammered, frozen in panic by the fact that the Kiryuin could have something similar to Ryuko join the enemy ranks.
"Relax." Maiko stepped in to calm the team's sniper. "If I'm any living proof, I'm sure that Honnouji Academy would be unable to use that Kamui as it seems to have sentience to reject a user."
"Though, I don't think they would stop them from using its scraps to empower their Goku Uniforms." Aikuro interrupted, bringing the fact that Honnouji always seem to find a way. "Knowing that Kamuis are made up of 100% Life Fibers, they can just patch those scraps to the Goku Uniforms of their best soldiers and prevent their bodies from going nuts. Satsuki Kiryuin may be proud and arrogant, but she isn't stupid." Mikisugi reminded everyone on how much of a threat she is. Not to mention that Senketsu being a Kamui that recently awaken his Spiral Energy could prove this to be a suicide mission considering that their enemy's troops could also tap to that god-like power.
"Fortunately, I can still sense my missing parts. Urgh! It feels so tight… There's no denying that my parts are at Honnouji Academy and are being sewn into the Goku Uniforms!" Senketsu groaned, feeling a bit of pain from his loose parts for how they're being put into Honnouji's Goku Uniforms. "Let me go with you Akira! I think I'll be able to sense my parts between the students and take them back."
"I appreciate your enthusiasm to help Senketsu…" Akira smiled while looking at the red eye. "But I think it would be better for you to stay with Ryuko." He recommended the Kamui as he looked to his half-naked friend. "Knowing what happened, there's no denying that she would try and recover your pieces during the Raid Trip. So I need you to protect her."
The black Kamui was a bit skeptical, he wanted to help the others, but he had to admit that Matoi would freak out if she finds out that he is no longer with him. "If it means doing this for Matoi, I'll will…" He nodded as he crawled his way inside Mikisugi's pocket in his jeans.
"Alright, it's settle in. I'll be watching over Ryuko while you go and protect the schools. I'll catch with you latter once things with Matoi cool off." He said before taking a brave stand. "Alright Nudist Beach, it's time to roll out and show the Kiryuin everything we have to bear!"
"Right!" The team nodded before running to their positions. Sanageyama Hakodate and Ogure hopped on a sports bike with passenger's seats, Tsumugu and Morgana went straight to Punk's hellish ride and lastly Akira rode his bike toward Osaka.
*Back to the present*
"Wait… So is Mako's gonna get herself killed?" Ryuko widen her eyes in terror, thinking of the many ways her best friend would die if she crossed herself into the wrong like of war.
"Glad you cared about your friend Ryuko. You truly are affected to those close to you."
"What!?" Ryuko snapped herself out from her terror trance as she began to look around on where was Senketsu hiding. "If you're really here Senketsu, do a signal! Anything! Please! Just tell me you're okay!" Matoi's eyes were beginning to get wet as she was very desperate on finding her Kamui.
"Oh right… It was a miracle that Kamuis can live even when they're torn to pieces." Mikisugi jiggled as he pulled out Senketsu's eye from his pocket to give it to Matoi.
"SENKETSU!" Ryuko took the piece of cloth out of the teacher's hands as soon as she saw it and gave it a big hug of relief that he was okay despite losing his pieces. "You son of a bitch… Don't scare me like that ever again…" She muttered to the Kamui as 2 tears ran down through her cheeks out of happiness that Senketsu was still alive after all this time.
"I'm also glad that you're still okay. I couldn't imagine what would happen if Satsuki would take all of my parts." The Kamui felt pleasant that his user was fine and healthy.
"Wait, did you said scraps?" Ryuko tilt her head sideways on what the red eye said.
"Surprise, surprise. After that kick in the as your friend Shinjiro Nagita gave you yesterday, she gave Satsuki Kiryuin the rest of Kamui Senketsu and your Scissor Blade." Mikisugi put the teen girl on track on what happened to her belongings.
Once she heard that, she just grit her teeth on disguist. "Satsuki Kiryuin… At It again and taking whatever she wants just because she thinks she's above fucking everyone in the world…" She snarled in fury as she hold tight on Senketsu, communicating the Kamui about how furious Matoi was.
"Careful there Ryuko. Don't let your anger lose your track." Senketsu reminded the daughter of the scientist who created him to control her emotions if she doesn't want to slip up again. She has done many of them during her past days and she swore to not make them ever again.
"By the way, we have a tracksuit of your size on that closet there." Mikisugi then looked at a nearby white closet reminiscent Honnouji Uses to put any Goku Uniform. Ryuko walked there to open the piece of furniture, only to discover there was a single white tracksuit there. "It's an Anti-Osaka One-Star SMT Goku Uniform we managed to steal from Honnouji Academy during Sanageyama's infiltration. We used it to analyze to see if there are any weaknesses we can exploit. Since Satsuki Kiryuin is commanding the Raid Trip to Osaka rather than Sanageyama who was originally planned of doing so, it would be obvious that she would take her time to make her squad's uniforms match her favorite color." Mikisugi explained to Ryuko as he recommended his glasses. "Normally, we would be against usage of Goku Uniforms. After all, we're called Nudist Beach for a reason. But knowing that the school just confiscated your stuff, it would be nice to have a nice change in fashion. They say that there's no better way thsn to fight fire with fire." Aikuro shrugged smugly as that smile slowly turned into a frown. "That is, if you want to…" He took off his glasses and now talked with his normal tone.
"What?"
"Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm forbidding you to go. It's just that Akira is worried about you throwing yourself into a danger neither he can get you out off. Nevertheless, he still told me that if you chose to fight, he wouldn't have any problem. Though, we're not forcing you to go. Whatever you want for whatever reason, we will not get involved." Mikisugi informed the ansty girl to choose whathever she truly wants. "So what is your decision, Ryuko Matoi?"
Ryuko stood still for some seconds and closed her eyes. She did it in order to contact with the blue-haired adult for any advises…
Once Ryuko opened her eyes, he was greeted again by Theodore, Igor and the other person.
"Ahh… Welcome back. Is there anything you'll like for us to do?" Igor asked, with honest intentions to help the girl on her quest.
"Y-yeah… I'll like to talk with the guy with the blue hair." Ryuko softly responded feeling a bit nervous, but she would let those take her over.
"Hehehehe… If you wish, so be it…" Igor replied as he stretched his hand to the direction the other guest was sitting.
"Yo. Anything you need girl?" The young man asked. Once Ryuko took a good look directly through his eyes, she noticed that one of them had a spiral pattern of them.
"Y-yeah… I think I want to talk about something…" She responded as she took a more confident emotion. "I don't know what to do… My friends are out there, giving their lives on a fucking war, and I don't know what to do… I don't have my Scissor Blade, and I can't imagine what would happen if I bump head with that goddamn bitch Satsuki Big Eyebrows Kiryuin… Damn… how low did I touched…?"
The mysterious traveler hummed for a moment. "Hey, so what if you touched a low? Just remember all the things you managed to do and how important your bonds with your friend is. Are you really going to let her think you submit yourself to her will by just her taking your things?" The blue-haired man told Ryuko. "This is exactly what she wants. She wants to spread fear and despair to her enemies for her to take control of them. Tell me, are you going to woman up or not?" He began to inspire the girl with his words. "Besides, you know what's the best thing about touching low?"
"Let me guess… Something deep that only the most brilliant minds can understand, eintsein…" Ryuko talked back with a more motivated tone on her voice.
"Nope. Because when you touch low, there's only one way to go…" He ended his speech before pointing up with his fingers.
Ryuko then finally got it. She was so afraid of Satsuki, she forgot that this is what she wanted to to from the start. Having her wrapped up on her red spider-web. "Yeah… I think, you're freaking right!" She got up from her seat as a new flame of rebellion turned on inside her soul. "Just who the hell does that bitch think I am to think that this is over between she and i!?" Ryuko bellowed as she clenched her fist passionately with one objective in mind, put Satsuki Kiryuin on her place. And now this wasn't about a petty vendetta, as she now has a better motivation to go and kick her ass so bad, not even the most expensive of operations would be able to fix her face. Save Mako, recover Senketsu and her Scissor Blade, and returning Akira the favor. "Thanks for the counseling, Mr. Drill… Maybe we should do something once this is over." She said as she was ready to leave the Velvet Room.
"Make sure to show her hell…" The young adult said goodbye as he had his faith in Ryuko.
Ryuko woke up back to the real world. She looked back at the Goku Uniform to later pull out her blank card she was hiding under her clevage (A trick she learned from Mako. After all, she had the superior boobs compared to Satsuki).
"Well, have you decided yet?" Mikisugi asked once again, ready to do whatever the girl chooses to do.
"Well, I may not want to get involved in your weird-ass shenanigans, but if it means to save Mako, Fuzzy Hair and take back Senketsu and my Scissor Blade…" She paused before taking the white Goku Uniform tracksuit and putting it on and wrapped Senketsu's eye like a scarf. "Then I'll gladly take part into that Weird-Ass shenanigans!" She exclaimed, ready to take the world once again. "Besides, I still have a score to settle with Satsuki Kiryuin. She was the one who ordered that pink hairball to kill my dad." She continued before cracking her knuckles. "Anyways, do you have anything I can borrow?"
"Well, luckily for you, I do…" Mikisugi confirmed with glee as he rearranged his glasses.
He led Ryuko to the weapons room of the den that had a design of spare Needle Blades and Tailor weapons, grenades, Rocket Launchers and much more artillery to fight the Life Fibers. Ryuko went to pick up a Needle Gun for herself and some Knuckle Dusters.
"By the way Ryuko, catch!" Mikisugi then passed over Ryuko a Tailor weapon, resulting to be a long sword as the Scissor Blade with the 3 edges having red. "I like to present to you the Tailor's Cutter. I have already requested main HQ to craft you this as I thought you would join us, but as it will not be the case, might as well give it to you anyway. Go on, it's my advanced Christmas gift for ya for being Class-K's Pet. By the way, don't forget your Tailor's Glove." He told the teenage girl as he gave her a glove similar to the ones most Nudist Beach operatives use.
"Thanks. This would do just fine to replace my Sekki Tekko for a while." Ryuko gladly accepted the gifts as she clentched her fist after putting the glove on. "Do you also have a ride I can pick up?"
"Fortunately, we pick up the scooter you left planted back at the Natural Elections. Ogure made sure to give it some upgrades to be as fast as a sports bike and don't consume all the gas on the first time you press the gas pedal. It may not look fancy, it it's sure as hell effective." The leader of Nudist beach then told her that her scooter was up waiting for her.
Back at the surface of the One-Stars apartments where most of its layout consisted of condos and industrial Pipes, Ryuko pressed the pedal of her scooter. "Man… Feels a bit weird wearing a Goku Uniform. Never wore one since I got myself involved on this mess." And Ryuko wasn't lying. The Life Fibers of the fabric seemed to pump her adrenaline to a slight extend, but she had to admit that she at last is wearing something that wasn't a skimpy skirt made for some sort of fanservice show. Not that she doesn't mind wearing one, but she prefer to wear something less revealing if given the chance. "Senketsu, do you know where the other pieces of you are?"
"Yes. I can still feel them channelizing to the Goku Uniforms of Satsuki's troops. We must be fast, or we could lose my pieces forever." Senketsu noted that they had the clock against them.
"Right!" She nodded as she began to press the pedal of her scooter even harder. "By the way Mikisugi, if something happens to me, tell the Mako, her family and Fuzzy Hair that you've been the best people I have ever met and I was glad of meeting you all!" She exclaimed as she was launched like a rocket as max speed, driving her way to recover what is her and to finally make Satsuki eat the dirt she forces everyone to swallow. "Hey Senketsu, are you ready to kick ass and cause mayhem?" She asked her Kamui as she drove her way to the Kansai region.
"I was ready the moment you woke up! Let's go!" He nodded as the 2 already left the island of Honno and were driving the streets of Tokyo. It was very refreshing to step on territories not belonging to Satsuki Kiryuin.
Though, it was inevitable when she travel through Tokyo Tower, Shinjuku and the streets of Shibuya, she would see the REVOCS tower towering all other building of the city. Knowing that the Emperor Palpatine equivalent of Satsuki Kiryuin was lying like some sort of evil mistress of darkness. "Once I'm done with Satsuki Kiryuin, I'm coming to cut your head off… Ragyo Kiryuin…" She though as she narrowed with a frown at the tower.
At the tower of REVOCS, Ragyo saw the passing-by Ryuko and could feel her spiting her and how she was planning to target her next. "So Isshin… Seems that your child put your eyes on me now…" She muttered as she was standing and looking at the streets of Tokyo from her office towering everything, even Tokyo Tower as she sipped her glass of Krug Clos d'Ambonnay Blanc de Noirs Brut.
"Sight… I told you that I love that girl. No matter what happens, seems that dead horse won't stay dead until someone beats him again, just to later get up." Nagita who sat over Ragyo's desk drawled, still looking surprise about Ryuko's stubborn guts.
"Hmm… Seems that Nagita side of yours is sticking out Nui Harime. Not that I mind, but I prefer having a daughter over a son. But, I can't complain since you're a being made out of 100% Life Fibers unlike me who was just a normal human until I got myself infused with Life Fibers. You know, sometime I envy you for that." Ragyo was honest. She was jealous that Nui Harime was a construct made out entirely out of Life Fibers. From her flesh, eyes, hair, organs and even blood. She would just kill to be herself be absorbed by the Life Fibers even more if she would, but seems that her perfect body still have her limits.
"Daww… Thank you Lady Ragyo. Say, want me to prepare the chopper for you?" Nui turned back to her usual blonde and female side as she slide herself to prod Ragyo in the cheeks.
"If you will. I must look gorgeous for our new guests. By the way, be sure that Hell's Monkey descendant and the Nothingling don't make any scandals on my mansion. You know how Soroi likes to treat guests."
"Okie Dokie." The Grand Corturier saluted before sprinting her way and changing her attire of that of a soldier before preparing the Kiryuin Matriarch's helicopter.
Now with Ragyo alone. She had all her privacy for herself. "If you still wish to challenge me by allying yourself with those Naked Monkeys, Ryuko Matoi…" She stopped before taking 2 pictures being of Ryuko and the baby she disposed off years ago like yesterday's trash. "Then don't go cry to your mother if you end up dead.. That is, if you truly know who your true mother is…" She began to evily laugh before crushing her glass of wine with her bare hands, spilling all that expensive champagne all over the floor.
Back at Honno, Mikisugi only watched how Ryuko's figured disappeared the more she distanced herself from the island.
"Hey Mr. Mikisugi, what are you up here?" Mataro suddenly slid beside Aikuro at the One-Star areas.
"I could ask you the same question Mataro." The teacher looked at the child, wondering on how even he managed to sneak in into this places without the Honnouji authorities noticing it.
"Well, you know I have to steal for fun." The kid shrugged his shoulders to respond.
"Heh… You never change, don't you?" Aikuro smirked at the kid before recovering his serious expression. "Well, as for me…" Mikisugi replied before rearranging his glasses. "I'm here to finally put down my teacher pants for good." He said as he stroke a eccentric pose. "My time has come… My time has come, to take my undercover clothes as Honnouji Academy's homeroom teacher… And prench out finally revealing my true identity!" He shouted, causing his clothes to strip off, leaving him only on his purple speedo and glowing nipples. "I am Aikuro Mikisugi! Former researcher of Life Fibers and Leader of the secret rebel organization Nudist Beach! Waging a war against the tyranny of the Kiryuin and clothes itself!" Whatever nonsense Mikisugi was spitting out, it was making the kid's head spin like an out-of-control carrousel. "It's finally time to call upon my steel steed! Come to me, Nudist Shooting Star!" He snapped his fingers, causing a jet black sports car to drive itself into his driver's location. "Surprised? It's Nudist Beach latest GPS technology! We don't even need keys to drive these babies!" He exclaimed as he hopped on into the driver's seat of his vehicle. "Don't worry, we'll make sure to bring back your sister safe and sound!" He promised Mataro as he stomped the gas pedal with his feet. "Farewell, Honno City!"
"Wait! He said that he would bring back Mako?" Mataro wasn't that much of an ignorant kid. But wasn't his big sis a No-Star? "Those Bastards…" He gritted his teeth, cursing the name of Honnouji Academy for putting their big sis on danger on their backs.
KOBE
"Move troops! MOVE!" Shouted Gamagori with a megaphone from the sunroof of his vehicle as Honnouji's Troops marched like War Tanks toward Kami-Kobe high school. He was aware that now that Akira know their plans, he had to hardly improvise.
The citizens of Kobe froze like statues by reaching the presence of the Kiryuin's forces. Not only the people, but pets, pigeons and even microscopic entities trembled in fear.
"ATTENTION CITIZENS OF KOBE!" Gamagori drawn the attention of the civilians around him. "I am the head of the Disciplinary Committee Ira Gamagori, representing the might of Honnouji Academy! From this point on, the Kiryuin clan shall take control over this state! If you don't wish to be punished, then get on one knee and accept the Kiryuin as your new rulers!" Gamagori shouted all while other One-Stars made sure to loot any clothing stores in the area and replace them with REVOCS branded clothes, Clothes of Hope are hard to cross by and Ragyo demanded her plan to be flawless. "Any signal of opposition to us shall result in immediate death! UNDERSTAND!?"
KYOTO
"Ten Hut! Radetzky March!" Jakuzure began to lead her platoon of cultural Presidents, lackeys and Shadows she found out cute for herself such as members of the Jack Bros, Black Frost, Mothman, Lexies and much more. They marched, causing a loud noise all among the city, it cause some of its windows and glasses to shatter. "Liking my performance, ya' stooges? Well, you're gonna have a heart attack once we reach the main performance!" She smirked as she continued to march to their objective, that being Abekamo Academy.
OSAKA
The Takarada's territory seemed to be very peaceful, with the smell of freshly-made Takoyaki surrounding the streets and the economy booming exponentially. All was dandy and all, until an upcoming storm of Life Fiber-Infused Shadows and Students of Honnouji marched and destroyed any sort of commerce their feet were able to squish like cockroaches. Some of these merchants didn't took this lightly and chosen to fight back.
Up in the air, the Kiryuin's helicopter was watching over the slight chaos from the streets, all while Satsuki Kiryuin having a slight pitty toward those pigs who have chose to oppose her. "How foolish of them to think they had a slight chance…" She muffled before taking a sip of her tea.
"Lady Satsuki, me and the Tri-City special intelligence unit are standing by." Inumuta who was the only one who had his SMT Goku Uniform finished prior to the Tri-City Raid informed Satsuki and the others inside the chopper, this being very similar to his former Probe Regalia, only this time the steel parts of his uniforms were solid gold. "I'm currently monitoring any activity inside Honnouji Academy. That way we can transmit our monitorization to all the networks all across the Kansai region." He acclaimed as white trucks were accompanying the other Units in the different cities. "Even though we have all communications under our control, we've still haven't figure out the hideout of Nudist Beach." He informed back. "The Kobe, Kyoto and the Osaka units have arrived at their destination. All that it's left is for you to give them the order of assault."
"Lady Satsuki, all the Anti-Osaka division have been gathered. All what is left Is for you to lead them." Rei informed the lady of war as she approached her with her digital tablet. "Shall we drop you from here, or do you wish to wait a bit further?"
"Drop me here. We can't bluff or slack during the invasion. Everything we've have done ever since we opened Honnouji Academy to the general public has culminated for this very moment." Satsuki blurted before standing up while the back chute of the copter began to open. "Iori, make sure to deliver the Goku Uniforms to the 2 Elites as fast as possible once they're ready. And be alert when I require the Ascension Dress."
"Understand Milady." Iori saluted before activating his Goku Uniform and making the finishing touch of the other Elite's SMT Uniforms.
"Hoomaru, stay in the chopper to protect it. If we lose it, we'll be at great disadvantage. And make sure to prepare our Special Shadow if we get to face Joker's subordinates." Satsuki gave orders to the young adult before preparing to dive in to assault Osaka and confront arch-rival, Kaneo Takarada.
Rei nodded in response.
Satsuki let a slight sight before walking slowly to the edge of the back chute door. "I'm going in…" She muttered before slowly taking her Bakuzan out of her case and holding Ryuko's Scissor Blade with her left hand. "Soroi, be sure to stay alert whenever I give the signal. Once I do, tell Iori to call the Elite to my location." He looked at her butler for some seconds before returning her attention to the city below her. "Let the Tri-City School Raid Trip commence!" She shouted out, giving her troops all across Kansai the order to attack the schools all while jumping from her chopper to command her platoon of sporty students.
Even though it was already a disguised match between the locals and the Sports division, not to mention how unfair it was due to the Dark clones of Hakodate and Sanageyama respectively even when they're as powerful as before Ryuko arrived at the school, the scale couldn't be more heavier for Honnouji. And to put the cherry on top of the destructive cake…
CRASH!
The collision Satsuki Kiryuin's landing caused a loud crash and shockwave all across the small area the battle was taking place. With already guts spilled all over the streets of those poor people who were fighting off Honnouji, only to be burned alive by one of the Life Fiber Shadows. More guts and bloods splatted all over the buildings and some of that black and red ooze from any Shadows slain by Satsuki's entrance. And once that puff of dust created by the massive impact cleared off, it only made it more obvious by the fire burning any buildings from the clash of warriors on that small commercial street how she was basically the devil incarnate. Her silhouette seemed to grow horns between her head all while that golden yellow glow from her eyes reminiscent of her shadow became bigger until the Lady of War came out. Once the students wearing the White tracksuits designed to combat Osaka troops kneel over her presence and light she was producing from her back, alongside the Shadows she was commanding due to the strong twisted desires coming from her.
"Well look who decided to finally drop in." The clone of the green-haired monkey grinned cockishly like he used to back when he was shackled by Satsuki's chains. "Say, what took you that long?"
"Hmph… I forgot how deplorable and annoying you used to be back in the day." Satsuki sighted irritated before looking around. "Did you made sure to dispatch of any opposition from this area?"
"Eyup! Not a single fruit-fly was able to escape my sign on this Market Street. Get it?" Omiko's clone stepped in while joking before looking at the green Osaka tower from a distance. "Although, sorry for taking you all the fun from you. Slaughtering these pigs was quite a good warm-up." She stretched out, feeling very casually about his and the others causing a murder spree and painting this part of Osaka in blood red. But well, that's how the No-Stars depicted Hakodate as an irredeemable monster back in the day. And with Sanageyama, it's worse…
"Say Lady Satsuki, what shall be our next target?" The clone of Uzu stepped in to ask the general of the raid, eager to pierce whoever gets in his path's heart with one straight stab of his Bokken.
"President Hajime?" Satsuki called out the name of the Emperor, who was the Club President of the Sumo Club, also known to be one of the most durable Clubs on Honnouji.
"Yes Lady Satsuki?" Every step the oversized President who wore a Yokozuna outfit being his 2-Star Goku Uniform caused a small quake on the ground.
"Order your troops to secure a path for the Commissary Unit to the Takarada tower." Satsuki tasked the giant fatass to protect the Unit from any of incoming goons of the Takarada Syndicate. "Knowing that Mako is forming part of it, we can use her as a bait to lure Kurusu out from his hole. Remember, you have my permission to kill any opposition, EXCEPT for Joker. I want him alive as it was ordered by the Director."
"Understood!" The President nodded. "Sumo Club, roll out!" He shouted, causing the rest of Sumo wrestlers to literally roll their way back to where the trucks of the Commissary Units were driving.
"Our time has come!" Satsuki announced as she looked at her students and Shadows while her pure white light began to bright, covering almost all of the street. "Today, we shall encounter and battle against the Kiryuin's mortal enemies, the Takaradas! Be sure to give it all of you got to fulfil this mission! Whatever it takes!"
The soldiers of the Kiryuin got a boost on their morale due to her speech. They were ready to take the world by storm.
"Alright! Then follow me, to victory!" She shouted as she and her troops continued to march on toward their objective, crushing anything that would cross on their path. Whenever be just a child passing-by or a soldier trying to stop her madness. All were equal to this woman's scythe that was ready to take anyone's life.
Back at Kobe, the trucks have finally arrived at the Kami-Kobe High School, infamous for being a hive full of Banchou students, the type Gamagori despite the most. As it was not that surprising, the students all formed sideways, expressing opposition against the law enforces of Honnouji.
"Seems that they anticipated our visit." Gamagori grunted, thinking that it was Akira and Nudist Beach warning them about the arrival of the Disciplinary Committee on trying to take over their school. He turned on his megaphone on to give those delinquents a message. "Students of the Kami-Kobe High School! I am Ira Gamagori, representing Honnouji Academy and the Kiryuin conglomerate! We're ordering you all to surrender on this instant and pledge allegiances to Satsuki Kiryuin and the Director Ragyo Kiryuin. Any sign of opposition shall end up in immediate punishment!"
"And who are you to come to our school and tell us what the fuck to do, ya' giant meathead?" Seemingly the leader of the students slammed a bokuto, shoving it into the ground while chewing on a leaf like how most banchos do. "I'm the representative of the Kobe gang alliance against the Kiryuin! Kyuji Obayashi!" He shouted out.
"And I'm his deputy, Kenta Sakuramiya!" Another teen beside Obayashi shouted who wore a white Gakuran and had Rapunzel-like long hair. "We've heard that you rule-obsessed freaks are gonna take over our school. Sorry dick-head, but It ain't gonna happen! We delinquents never kneel against the likes of you!"
"Much less to Kiryuin lap-dogs like yourselves! Go on and launch the Molotov bombs!" He ordered his men as a array of Molotov bottled fell over the trucks of Honnouji Academy. All they have to do is stall some time for them to be safe. As for the bombs, once they made contact with the floor, they exploded, causing some damage to the trucks. Though unfortunately, they seemed to be blinded against these kinds of projectiles.
"So you chose to resist us… I wasn't expecting any other way coming from criminals like yourselves." Gamagori who seemed to not receive not damaged. Got out from the sunroof until he stood over his vehicle. "In that case, you force yourselves into punishment! Let this be a lesson for the future generations to what happens to those who try to fight Honnouji Academy! ENCHANCED TROOPS! GO! GO! GO!" Gamagori commanded his troops enhanced by Senketsu's pieces took formation as they each one of them took out a rulebook of Honnouji's Iron rules.
Each of the members of the Bancho alliance pulled out a confused face. "What is it? Are you're gonna read us a lecture from your little notebooks until we die out of boredom?" Kiuji was about to underestimate the power of Honnouji's law and order.
"Open Fire!" Gamagori shouted, causing the formed One-Star to throw the guidebooks at the enemies on their head. All of them hit some of the Kobe students, piercing their heads and breaking their schools, causing their heads to crack like eggs and drop dead to the floor like domino pieces.
"W-what the hell!?" Kiuji gasped in surprise and terror at the same time, watching his men fall by simple guidebooks one by one. What were those tings made of?
"School regulations are heavier than stone to a student! And the guidebook that contain these books are harder than steel!" Gamagori shouted out as he hold out his own sacred book. "No one can oppose this Iron Rules! As they are Ironclad!"
"Oh! Are you sure?"
A giant storm of wind facing the direction contrary of Honnouji's grunts began to blow out, the wind began to gradually blow harder and harder to the point it began to blow away many vehicles of Honnouji, including the Information car that was able to contact with the other troops scattered all across Kansai.
"They're here!" Gamagori snarled in anger as he shielded himself from the strong strom with his arms, but the same couldn't be said about the One-Stars, as many of them began to be blasted away by the strong winds far away, reducing Gamagori's platoon to half.
"Hey! Up in the roof!" Sakuramiya pointed up at the roof of the Kami-Kobe High School, causing the other students to also look up. Over the rooftop of the school, 2 silhouettes with one of them having Bellerophon on his behind could be seen. The 2 then leaped un in the air before landing in front of the Students of Kami Kobe.
Oni-Mask and Maiko Ogure have arrived on the scene. "Sorry for keepin' y'all from waiting! But even a hero like myself must preparation itself for his big entrance!" Sanageyama looked behind as he winked and gave a thumb up while striking a heroic and dramatic pose.
"Wait… are you…?" Obayashi stammered as he and his goons glared in admiration at the emerald thief. "The Legendary Uzu Sanageyama…? T-t-the toughest guy of the whole Kanto Region!?" The delinquents freaked out that a legend among scoundrels and rebels such as him would came here just to save their asses.
"Wow… What's the point of being called a thief if half the world knows your identity?" Maiko sweat dropped, still being odd about how Joker and the rest considered themselves Phantom Thieves, even when they're not that sneaky recently.
Gamagori grunted on his place as he proceeds to cross his arms, looking directly at Ogure and Sanageyama directly with a lot of spite. "Well then… No surprise that 2 traitor rats like yourselves would gather at this disgusting rat pack you all dare to call a school!"
"Well, I am a woman of my word after all." Maiko Ogure jiggled as she showed up her invention to everyone. "I did promise to take revenge on you guys! All those times you looked me down, it was inevitable for me to join the enemy team." She shrugged smugly as she stoke a preparing pose to fight.
"Call us a bunch of rats, but we preferred to be that rather than mindless ants blindly serving their queen." Sanageyama added as he fingerbanged Ira. "Sorry but seems that the Nudist way is way more cool than the covered one. You should try it sometime."
Gamagori growled and gritted his teeth in anger. No matter how much Sanageyama matures, he's still can be a cocky ass no matter how you look it. "I'LL NEVER STRIP MYSELF TO A BUNCH OF IGNORANT NAKED APES, EVEN IF MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!" He shouted on top of his lungs as he was ready to order his next action toward the new challengers. "LET'S SEE IF THAT GODDAMN SMILE OF YOURS REMAINS IN YOUR CORPSE ONCE YOUN TASTE HONNOUJI ACADEMY'S FULLMETAL DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE GUIDEBOOK REGULATION HURRICANE! MEN! FIRE AT WILL!" Gamagori cried even more as the remaining members of the Disciplinary Committee jumped off with 2 guidebooks on each hand to then throw them as projectiles. It was a full barrage of books coming through our heroes' directions. But Sanageyama smirked at the challenge he had straight ahead of himself.
"Well, seems that someone needs a chill pill!" Sanageyama exclaimed as he prepared himself and his Persona to turn the tables of the attack. "Go! Trojan Twister!" He proclaimed, as the Pegasus his Persona was beginning to flap his wings as rapidly as he could, causing a gigantic twister to form all around himself with it having scraps and rests of a Trojan Horse, causing the guidebooks to be vacuumed right into the tornado, making them spin around like a violent merry-go-round. Sanageyama acted quickly as he swiftly hopped between each part of the Trojan horse until he was on top part of his violent twister, looking like a wind deity having all those books spinning over his body like the rings of Saturn. "Let's see how much you feel when it's the rules crushing you to death this time! Right back at ya!" He cried as he re-directed all the objects caught in the tornado, including cars, One-Stars and even signals of the streets toward Gamagori's strike team.
The One-Stars looked scared as their own ammo was being re-directed against them, but Gamagori took it himself to re-arrange this. "ATTENTION! Enhanced Studentents! Activate your powered-up gear and apply defensive methods!" Ira shouted to their troops, which caused those who had the parts of Senketsu stitched into their uniform to power up like Dragon Ball characters, causing their muscles to inflate until they became as buffed and big as their commander. They quickly pulled out more rulebooks, but instead of launching them, they simply began to enlarge them until the rulebooks became as big as them, serving them as shields and barricades. The books have been proven to be as durable as the mini-versions as they blocked all of the projectiles. "Ha! Seems that your attack was for naught! Even our powerful rules are immune to themselves! That's why no matter how many boulders you throw at us, even if they're the size of planets, it won't be enough to tumble us down! We're Honnouji Academy's Disciplinary Committee! We live and die to protect our glorious school, being the invincible bricks that form the impenetrable walls that protects Lady Satsuki and her ambittions from scoundrels like you! You want to go and foil her goals? YOU HAVE TO KILL ALL OF US FIRST!"
"Sir, I think we got ourselves a problem!" One of the Bulky One-Stars whose voice became deeper due to his power-up informed Gamagori.
"What is it?"
"It's Sanageyama! He has seemed to vanish!" he proclaimed, as there was no sign of the monkey anywhere in the battlefield.
It didn't took that long for Ira to comprehend what Sanageyama did. Perhaps that attack was done to lower their guard.
"Well, if I can't crush over the walls that are your meatheads…" Sanageyama's voice echoed through the surrounding of the Anti-Kobe's squad. Not until he managed to sneak in to their behinds. "I just have to sneak inside!" He exclaimed as he shot out his customized FN P90 on Gamagori's pressure points, making the needles piercing through the goliath's thick skin, freezing him in place and unable to move. "Take this!" Sanageyama exclaimed as he slammed his cased Katana against Gamagori, causing him to tumble down face down before Oni Mask returns to his original position.
"GAMAGORI! HE'S BEEN TAKEN DOWN!" The troops of Honnouji Academy bulged their eyes as they seemed to witness Lady Satsuki's invincible shield be taken down so easily. Though, it wasn't that surprising since he didn't had his new 3-Star Goku Uniform ready.
"I'm not down! I'm just paralyzed!" Gamagori corrected his minion's premonitions, which made them relief that he still could command them to glory and victory for Satsuki, even if all of his body is frozen like a statue. "Don't just stand there! Attack!" With that order, the empowered One-Stars began to charge against the 2 traitors of Honnouji Academy, only for Maiko to step in.
"I got ya!" She exclaimed as she turned on her COVERS CRUSHER 3000 OMEGA Up, causing it to create a big tornado, which suck anything on its path like a violent vacuum. The strike squad brake their steps as they began to be sucked up. They ran ran as fast as they could, only for one of them to get sucked inside Maiko's invention.
"GAH! They got Jimmy!" One of the One-Stars shrieked in panic.
"Knowing how powerful your Goku Uniforms have become due to the Persona fragments impaled on them, it would be hard to tear them up the traditional way. So I designed this to suck people wearing Life Fiber outfits, shred their clothes back into Life Fibers, leaving them naked for this!" She exclaimed as the shredded remains of the Goku Uniform were now stored into her backpack, including Senketsu's part. She then pointed her swollen weapon from the size of the victim sucked into the platoon of hunks. "Human Cannonball!" She shouted as she straight up shoot the hulking One-Star like a bullet against the others, causing them to be stroked like bowling pins. Once the dust of the impact cleared out, they showed up as most of the platoon were knocked down and the naked giant returned to normal once the effects of the scrapped Kamui worn off.
"You bastards! How dare you oppose us!" Gamagori shouted as one of the One-Stars put him back straight while still frozen in place.
"What the hell do you expect? Annoy you is part of our job after all." Sanageyama smirked while putting back his katana back into his case. He then turned back to see the students of Kami-Kobe that still haven't evacuated. "What the eff are you waiting for? Get the hell out of here! Your escape vehicles are ready! Just bust out!"
"And let these pussies dishonor the name of the Kami-Kobe High School? No and never!" Kenta Sakuramiya wailed while raising his bokuto up the air, refusing to let himself be told on what to do. The rest of delinquent students followed his rhythm as they let out a cry of war.
"Man! These guys will be hard to convince." Maiko grunted at seeing how stubborn the folks of Kobe were. Though, now that she remember, she swore there was someone missing. "Wait! W-where's your leader?"
CRASH!
Obayashi came to the scene by blowing up one of the walls of his school, showing off his football gear, military tank and armors made out of raw steaks. "Bwahahaha! How do you like It now, Honnouji cunts? Meet Kami-Kobe's ultimate line of defense!" The Banchou exclaimed with a glee, boasting his stuff he brought to the fight. "Bullet-proof Football gear that the American Educational Institution was able to provide us, a tank we obtained from the Italian Mob and Kobe's world-renowned meat, making us invincible! If we know something about you cocks-uckers is that your pussy-ass uniforms can't stand to a freaking tank!"
"Jesus! They had a tank this whole time?" Maiko gasped in surprised by seeing the leading figure of Kobe having a super-unexpected ace under his sleeve. "Why the hell didn't you used it to leave with the rest?"
"Cocky brats like you are the first to fall! Attack!" Gamagori ordered his empowered troops as they quickly got up and made a formation to proceed to create another assault of Honnouji's Iron Rule notebooks.
"Ah crap! Not again!" Sanageyama cursed as he quickly drawed his blade to block every single projectile coming his way, Ogure or the other students'. As for Obayashi, he just laughed as he watched how to the notebooks didn't affect him or his war tank thanks to the slabs of meat absorbing the attacks.
"Ha! How about that bruh? Kobe's composite meat armor doesn't piss his pants by your stupid books!" The head of the Kami-Kobe continued to laughed in cockiness, seeing how Gamagori's order resulted to be futile. "Just look at how your "Ironclad Rules" or whathever the hell they're called get swallowed up by this tender fortress of Kobe's beautiful meat! They're just melting in the marble of our balls of steel into nothing!" He continued until he peep closer at Ira with a smile you would like to punch. "Now, how about you take this down your assholes!? FIRE!" He shouted, as he shoot out a cannonball right at Gamagori and his troops, thinking that he has this in the bag.
"Ugh! Can we make an exception and let this bastard die?" Uzu seemed to grow irritated about Obayashi's attitude. He would decapitated him if he would have the chance, but priorities are priorities.
"Ha! You just dug your own grave!" Gamagori stood still without fear, ready to give his men his next order. "DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE! DEPLOY DEFENSIVE MANUEVERS!" He shouted at his minions, causing them to pull out more notebooks to expand and turn into shields. Once the projectile did impact with the rulebooks, it bounced back like a ping-pong table and coming right back at Obayashi and his minion.
"GHAAA! IT BOUNCED BACK!" All of the students of Kami-Kome yielped in panic as the quaked in despair and fear like a plate of jelly watching the projectile coming for them.
"UGH! Why do I always have to clean up all of your mess-ups?" Sanageyama grunted as he was ready to draw his sword, again… Fortunately, help from above came to save the teenager some time.
BANG!
A quick bullet came in rescue to make the ball explode before it could make contact with the good guys, causing it to detonate in front of Gamagori's raid squad, sending more One-Star out of the stratosphere from the impact.
"Man, that was fucking close…" The head-honcho broke a fat sweat of relief, knowing that he was so close aat the gates of hades from the stupidity he did.
"You're welcome, asshole." Replied Hakodate the sniper of the group from atop the building of Kami-Kobe to aid his comrades from a distance.
"Ha! I admire to at least have the guts to show your diguisting face after your declaration of Treason, Omiko Hakodate!" Gamagori at least was honest about congratulating the former head of the Tennis Club for daring to confront him.
"What? Were you expecting to shit my pants or something?" Although the 19-year old Tennist took this as a compliment, she still acted antagonic against the troops of Honnouji. "Sorry to break your dellusions, but I ain't scared of you anymore, Gamagori!"
"Is that so?" Ira raised an eyebrow in reply. "THEN WHY DON'T YOU COME HERE AND FACE ME UNLIKE THE COWARD YOU ARE! DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE! UNLEASH KOUHA FORMATION!"a
"KOUHA!" The scrawny students of Honnouji Academy formed in line as they stood in front of the monstrous One-Stars as each one of them began to concentrate some sort of light from their hands.
"Everyone! Get cover!" Sanageyama warned everyone as the One-Stars without hesitation began to blast light lazer beams out of their hands, destroying most of the Kami-Kobe high school's structure and sending some of its students high into the sky.
"Ha! Go on and eat this pu-AAAAHH!" The tank of the leader of Kami-Kobe exploded once the Kouha lasers impacted against it, taking the football meat shield to deteriorate, leaving him only on his undies. "Aw come one! I've still haven't payed that, you know?"
Gamagori could care less about someone's economic struggle. "Do you understand now? Opposing Honnouji Academy shall only result on undesired consequences. Surrender now, or we shall grant each one of you a slow and painful death!" Gamagori ordered the group of Kami-Kobe to submit, until help came.
VROOM!
Ryuko Matoi came to the rescue as she quickly leaped above the Dsciplinary Committee with her enhanced scooter.
"What the!? MATOI!?" Gamagori wailed in shock before his face would be run over by one of the wheels of the vehicle.
"Give me Senketsu back, you idiots!" She cried as she took off her Tailor's Cutter to cut off all of the SMT One-Stars with Senketsu's parts, leaving them completely in the nude.
"Good timing Ryuko! Here!" Maiko exclaimed as her COVERS CRUSHER sorted the Senketsu's part on a hand-size capsule to throw it ar Ryuko.
Ryuko quickly caught it effortlessly and breaks the glass with her own fists. "Thanks! I guess this finally make us have a truce!" Ryuko thanked Ogure for the rest of Senketsu's pieces.
"Jesus christ! The legends Sanageyama and Ryuko at the same place?" Obayashi trembled as he witnessed the 2 living legends of the Kanto region. Much less on the same place. "T-to think I would met you in p-person! IT'S A GREAT HONOR BEING PROTECTED BY-"
"SHUT IT, DICK-FACE!" Both Sanageyama and Ryuko wailed at the Banchou to shut up at the same time. "HEY! STOP COPYING ME! WHO'S COPYING YOU? AH! FORGET IT!" Both teens fumed before looking at the other direction.
"Ryuko! Focus! It won't be long until the Disciplinary Committee counterattacks!" Senketsu gave his wearer a reminder to be on her toes, as her enemies would use this time of the 2 of them discussing to ambush them without her trying to defend herself.
"Hey Oyabashi!" Sakuramiya's voice came in as picked up his boss with a motorcycle as he was now wearing a leader jacket. "This is way more badass than those wimp-ass Football getups!" He exclaimed as the other gang members were also riding bikes they found inside their school while Ryuko was busy slaying the One-Stars.
"Hey Don't dare to diss the sacred art of Rugby, you dipshit!" Oyamashi felt attacked about his favorite sport being dissed by his right hand man from all people. "I'll kick your ass if you keep saying shit about-"
"Men! Don't let Matoi and the rest escape! Begin Kouga formation once again!" Gamagori ordered his last set of men to form another array of Kogua lasers. The One-Stars took formation and prepared themselves to blast once again.
"Oh no, you don't!" Hakodate was quick on her feet as she quickly shoot all of the remaining One-Stars into their pressure points, preventing them from moving their muscles and such, cancelling their attacks.
"GAH! This can't be real!" Gamagori shouted in disbelief on how fast they were able to take down their last lines of defense.
"Oh, it's real alright! HIYA!" Sanageyama then took off his Katana once again to make an horizontal slash amongst the remaining soldiers of Honnouji, causing their SMT Uniforms to tear and leave them naked.
"Well, guess that you Honnouji Pussies are much more bark than bike! See ya later suckers! AHAHAHAH!" Oyabashi laughed before throwing a black smoke bomb that covered all over the area, giving the thieves and the students of Kami-Kobe chance to escape, and thus, leaving the entire High School completely empty.
"Sight… even if it pains me to admit it, I must say that those naked monkeys have won this round." Gamagori grunted in frustration. Maybe he should have brought some Shadows to assist them and not let his worries get the best out of him. He called one of the members of Inumuta's division to assist him into contacting the rest. "Toad to Dog, Toad to Dog, do you copy?"
"Is it really necessary for you to croak me twice Gamagori?" Inumuta asked on not having the giant of Honnouji Academy croak him twice. "Have you known that my technology can't be disrupted in any shape or form."
Gamagori only groaned for some seconds. "I came to inform that my mission to submit Kami-Kobe High School has been a failure. Sanageyama, Hakodate and Ogure have come and defeated all of our Kamui-augmented forces just for Matoi to step In and take all of Kamui Senketsu's pieces."
"Well, it was expected taking the fact how advanced and competent Nudist Beach has become recently thanks to their inclusion of the Phantom Thieves." Inumuta commented. "Although, even if they have escaped, they still left the school abandoned, so its still a win for us. We'll make sure to apprehend those criminals after the Cultural and Sports Festival. For now, I suggest you to head to Osaka and assist Lady Satsuki."
"Roger." Gamagori nodded before cutting the line. Although, it will take a long time for him to get free from his paralyzing. He just hopes that Jakuzure is having it easier.
"Alright men, let's play FORTISSIMO!" Jakuzure shouted as she was in front of the gates of Abekamo Academy, having her One-Star and Shadow Troops storm inside the academic institution only for her after to step in.
They all gathered up, looking around with Jakuzure not letting her guard down. "Strange… I though those creeps of Kyoto would…" Nonon was cut short once she and her minions discovered a star-shaped seal glow under their feet. Some of the weaker shadows got evaporated due to the holy nature of the seal with the stronger ones receiving some noticeable injuries. "AH CRAP! I SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS A MILE AWAY!"
"Ahahaha!" A voice echoed all around the faculty, laughing at their struggling tresspassers. "Welcome, Warriors of the East! We've been expecting your crusade! It's a pleasure having all of you wander to our sacred campus."
"Ah great, and then they go with their mystical mumbo jumbo…" Nonon sighted irritated, not being in the mood to hear the 4 leaders of Abekamo Academy start spitting their long-ass monologues.
"Miss Jakuruzure, look!" One of the One-Stars informed his leader as she looked up, only to witness 4 people with each one of them surrounded by an aura of a different color each.
"Abekamo Academy has stood for thousands of years! It is the linch-pinch of Kyoto's defenses in our ancient's capital!" Another voice echoed through the whole area, trapping its enemies on a web of confusion as the auras of the 4 leaders of Kyoto's school became more intense.
"Though, don't expect to win this one just because you have a legion coming from a demonic plane of existence. It only shows how putrid your souls are for coming all this way with those demons on your back." Another voice told them for how evil they are for having Shadows serve under their wing.
"If thou wishes to avoid a painful death, leave at once and never return! But if you refuse to, then thou shalt be purged by a bath of holy waves of demons and monsters." Another voice exclaimed, making all of the 4 auras become more intense.
"Oh, give me a break, ya' ball of nerds! At least our "Demons" are real stuff rather than whathever the hell your cheap parlor trick are. Believe me, being the heiress of an entertainment mega-corp made me experience animatronics more believable than your DnD Roleplay special effects." The pinkette shrugged her shoulders, trying to tick off the 4 guardians of Abekamo for them to take action and lower their guards.
"So, you chose treason over your own lives, so shall be it!" The leading student of the academy declared war as the auras of the 4 reached climax, morphing into all sorts of animals like a tiger, a Seiryuu, a turtle with a snake and firebird.
"GAH! WHAT THE HELL AR THOSE!?" Unfortunately for Nonon, even the empowered SMT One-Stars weren't able to see that these holograms were well… holograms, causing all of them to run in terror. As for the Shadows, they began to attack the apparitions, only to not be that effective and ending up killing their fellow shadows due to friendly fire.
"GAAHH! Put a sock in it everyone! They're fakes!" Jakuzure tried her best to regroup her men as she used a whistle to draw their attention, only for it to not have any effect whatsoever.
"Wahahaha! Try all you want, your spawns from the underworld will only tremble in their feet as they presence the guardian spirits of the 4 Guardian Students!" The voice of the Turtle exclaimed before introducing himself. "I am the Guardian Student of the North, Taro Genbu!" The student exclaimed as he showed himself wearing a japanese monk outfit alongside a turtle shell and a pair of snake sock puppets.
"Guardian Student of the South, Jiro Suzaku!" The other one with the bird spirit said as he also wore a monk getup themed after the Chinese god Suzaku. Though, it was weird considering the bird he had it made him look like older than the average high school student. Then again, Gamagori is 20 years old and Hakodate is 19, so…
"Guardian Student of the East, Saburo Seiyu!" The more stoic-looking of the group themed after the azure dragon said, watching over the Shadows destroying themselves.
"And lastly me, the strongest of the Guardian Students, Guardian Student of the West, Shiro Biyakko!" What it appears to be the leader of the Abekamo Academy introduced himself, being the bearer of the White Tiger spirit and also wearing a tiger-like outfit. "As you can see, we're the unstoppable Divine 4, the ultimate line of Defense of Abekamo Academy! Try your best efforts, because even with those fiends aiding your barbaric ambitions, you Kanto scum will never defeat us!" He exclaimed, rejoicing on watching the One-Stars trembling in their boots.
"Quit the act already, will ya?" Jakuzure raised her voice. "I know that the Elite 4 are very famous, but there's no reason for the 4 of you to copy our style alright? Go for something original, and maybe stopping it with the cheap holograms." She exclaimed before looking at her scared troops. "Put you crap together people! We haven't trained your hearts and bodies just for you to be frightened by mere cheap tricks!" But no matter how hard she tried, none of her Shadows or One-Stars seem to recover their bravery. She would ask help for the Maid Club and the remnants of the Table-top RPG Club for assistance, but they're busy taking care of any reinforcements outside Abekamo.
"Seems that your troops have become quite the disappointment even after all that harsh training for this day Jakuzure." Inumuta interrupted as he was projected on a hologram.
"Oh, bite me you damn dog!" Nonon looked at the brain of the Elite Trio with irritation. "By the way, aren't you supposed to be in Honnouji Academy?" She was reminded that the nerd was suppouse to be monitoring over their main lair.
"Huh, seems that your poison has managed to reach your brain if you're that clueless." The smart teen added. "As you can see, thanks to the Animation and Film Club, I'm able to portray an astral image of myself without having to be physically there." He started as he had Walter Warner and the other members of the Film and Animation Club behind him.
"Seems that you like to bark whenever you like after all. Jesus! Just say that this is a projector and don't try to sound smart! You're only going to make you sound even more dumb!" She exclaimed at the head of the analytics faction of Honnouji Academy.
"Well, as I was saying." Houka just slid off the girl's comment as a group of 4 Magus Shadows appeared behind him. "Shadow Magus Squad, engage Anti-Illusion protocols!" He ordered the 4 Shadows of the Magician Arcana each having a different color pattern with each one wearing jester hats and having gigantic shadowy hands wrapping their bodies, all of them wearing the S.C.C. collars making them absolutely loyal toward Honnouji Academy. "Magus 1 and 2, utilize your icy winds against the projections! Magus number 3, create a gust of wind while you Magus number 4 generate a blazing breath. Deploy!" Houka ordered his Shadows as they put their hands on the situation, pun intended. The 2 Magus casted Mabufu as they created a gust of winter around the 4 beasts, causing them to slow down, all while the other 2 used Magaru and Magari, summoning a windy and a fiery ring wrapping the 4 divine guardian projections.
"Uhh? You think that your mediocre sorcery shall put us down? Then think again!" Biyakko shouted as he began to do handsigns, causing his white tiger to roar and cast small portals all around him similar to Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon. "One thousand holy arrows!" He exclaimed as thousands of light-made needles began to get their way toward Nonon and her group.
"Oh, hell no!" The bubblegum-haired girl then whistled, causing one of the trucks outside of Abekamo to open, giving way to thousands upon of thousands of Card Soldier Shadows similar to the ones of Alice in Wonderland that created a barrier around her, protecting Jakuzure from the attack.
"Nicely blocked." Inumuta legitimately congratulated the Music composer for blocking the attack as he was mostly busy with restraining the 4 holograms while enduring their leader's insults of how they aren't pure and such.
"Oh, bite me. Just finish your nerd stuff already!" Nonon looked at the hologram of his comrade, waiting for him to finally do something.
"If you insist, the so shall it be." He said before re-arranging his digital glasses. "Armed Digital Arts Club, Advance!" He ordered his troops of the Digital Division of the Arts Club who wore Blue SMT Goku Uniforms reminiscent of Inumuta's goons, all while Nonon questioned herself on how the hell those guys managed to get up here so fast. The members of the Arts Club hold that later turned into rockets. "As you can see, what not better way to defeat religious fanatics than with even more crazy demonic chant. Arts Club, time for you to make a Paradox Painting!" Inumuta told his soldiers while starting to make Handsigns, creating Japanese tags surrounding him, all the while the Arts Club utilized the Persona essence in their Goku Uniforms to create a spinning apparition of the Drawing Hands illustration using the giant rockets to draw it. "Hiya Dekaya! Dekunda! Go!" He exclaimed, casting the 2 Negating spells to load the drawing to empower it as it began to spin even faster up to the point that it was beginning to create medium-size gusts of winds. "Here! Tremble before the intellect and might of Honnouji Academy! Escher Topology Attack!" Houka exclaimed as he threw the Infused Paradox Painting against the entrapped beasts. Once it made contact, the 4 beasts gave their last roar as they got destroyed by the gigantic explosion caused by the projectile, leaving a hail of digital bits scattering through the Academy.
"O-our barrier! What kind of wicked sorcery is this?" Seryu demanded answers on how the hell did they managed to cancel their 4 divine beasts guarding their institution.
"It's not Magic, as it is real." Inumuta regarded as he recomodated his glasses. "To put it simply, the entire area is surrounded by Blah, Blah, Blah…" Inumuta then began a very complicated and long as hell explanation on how he was managed to counter the 4 Guardian Student's tactical strategy.
"Ugh, god… I don't know what the hell are you talking about, because the only thing I heard was jerks talking more jerk language." Nonon grunted slightly irritated as she despite how long Houka tends to explain things. He's basically an evil version of Brock from Pokemon.
"Well, as a manner for your brain to understand it, I've basically managed to defeat their "Bullshit Powerup" with an even bigger "Bullshit Powerup" to put it simply. Normally, I'm not a fan for these types of barbaric strategies, but I guess you should just take what's better for Lady Satsuki's sake." The brain of the Elite Trio shrugged his shoulders before slidding backwards. "Well, the rest up to you, I'm sure you won't have trouble "Pwning" them right now." He said before his hologram disappeared.
"H-hey! Don't go leave me planted like that, you cowardly dog!" Nonon cursed Houka's name as she felt betrayed over Inumuta leaving her the rest. But then again, as much IQ Inumuta has, he has an even or bigger ego than it.
"Big deal for defeating our Guardian Beasts, but you'll not stand a chance against our manpower!" Biyakko exclaimed as the gates of the insides of the institution began to open, showing troops of Abekamo armed with Yaris. "Step forward, my men! Pummel them all!"
"Pummel! Pummel!" The students charged forward as they shouted a powerful battlecry to rise their morale.
"As if we let a plain ol' charge order stop us!" Nonon ordered her Music Club to line up alongside her Davids, Trumpeters and many more music-themed Shadows, having their instruments ready on their hands and waiting for their commander to give the order. "Everyone, Combat Orchestration! Pump and Circumstance!" She gave the order to smash as her minions began to play their loud music, ejecting heart-shaped projectiles against her opponents, pummeling the Abekamo troops as they flew over the walls, creating heart-shaped holes through the the walls of the sacred schools. On the process, the Abekamo Academy was beginning to tumble down, causing the 4 posers and the other Abekamo minions to flail and run as Nonon and the others managed to submit to their will.
"Aw, I just adore the instruments of destruction you precious Shadows and Kamui augmented One-Stars make, it just makes me think of my precious Akira…" Nonon blushed, thinking about her handsome crush, all while enjoying the entire academy being crumble into pieces.
"Sorry, but today's performance is canceled."
CLICK!
On that moment, 5 industrial-level magnets rose from the ground, causing the Music Club and the other cultural Clubs metallic object to stick into the magnets inutilizing them.
"That voice! Don't tell me he-"
"Don't you mean, us!?"
VROOOM!
From the clouds of the debris caused by the falling school, emerged 3 figures with 2 of them riding their motorcycles, all while the other looked like a gigantic greenish and windy buzzaw coming all their way here.
"You're done for!" Tsumugu exclaimed as he rose his scythe alongside Ryuko who were both riding their bikes driving their way toward the legion of One-Stars, Two-Stars and Shadows alongside the spinning object, cleaving over every student they clashed against and destroying their Goku Uniforms.
"What the!?" Nonon yield before shrieking in panic as both sword, blade and scythe were coming for her, tearing her clothes apart and leaving her in the nude for her embarrassment.
"ZEN-I-SOCHITZU!" Ryuko cried before braking alongside Tsumugu with their 2 bikes as the spunky girl had all the pieces of Senketsu on her hand. "Senketsu, is there any piece of you left?" She asked her Kamui to tell her if she missed any part of him.
"Those were most of my missing pieces in Kyoto. But we need to act and find them fast before Jakuzure recovers herself!" He told his wearer as there were closer to putting back the Kamui again.
"Well, fancy meeting you here kid. What took you so long?" Punk looked and smirked at the teenage girl with cockiness.
"Well, what that pervert teacher told me about, I'm guessing you're the mohawk bastard who just can't seem to follow me like a creepy stalker. I mean what the hell is wrong with you? And when did you got that kickass drip?" Ryuko complimented Kinagase's new thief attire. And Tsumugu had to admit it, he preferred it over his old Nudist Beach uniform.
Morgana stopped spinning like a seesaw before landing where the 2 humans were. "Long story short, seems that our friend here has also awaken a Persona by himself. But it surprises me that it took him that long to awaken one, considering that he works for a rebel organization."
"Wait a stinkin' second!" Nonon was the first to recover her consciousness after having her SMT Uniform destroyed by the Phantom Thieves and the new girl of Honnouji as she got up and covered her almost-unnoticeable breasts with her arms. "You're the bastard from the Naked Monkeys that keeps stalking us! Mind your own monkey business jackass!"
"Enough puns for now, ya' dwarf." Kinagase just rub off Nonon's words before taking off his mask and summon Van Helsing with Morgana doing the same with Diego. "It's all over now for you and Honnouji Academy. We have taken care of your Kobe forces already and seems that your lackeys can't do anything with your neet tracksuits destroyed. So give up and don't resist the arrest."
"No matter how many times you babble about how Satsuki Kiryuin is just and her cause is to save humanity from it's own foolishness, no matter if her reasons are justifiable or not, it won't change the fact of all the blood stained in your hands!" Morgana was the next to talk. "Be assured that today, Honnouji Academy will atone of all of its crimes to the world!"
Nonon only snarled and groaned in anger. She just couldn't believe she got outsmarted by an adult, an edgelord and a cat, even if that said cat was Akira's. She just can't imagine what type of spooky pet store his husband got his cat. Luckily for her, help came underway.
Satsuki's chopper flew over the remnants of Abekamo Academy before stopping on the center. Both Honnouji's Troops and our heroes felt the gusts of wind over the spinning blades of the Helicopters. From it's chute, there was Iori holding on one of the bars while holding a Megaphone on the other one. "Thank goodness that I've arrived in time." Iori told himself, being glad that Jakuzure was still standing with her will to fight, even when her SMT Goku Uniform was destroyed, and her platoon were all defeated. "Jakuzure! Your Mark II Goku Uniform is ready, but we don't have much time! Be sure to neutralize Ryuko and the other members of Nudist Beach before they reunite in Osaka!" He shouted using his Megaphone before turning on his behind and see Hoomaru. "Hoomaru, you have my permission to drop it." Iori ordered Rei to pull the level, which dropped one of Honnouji's white closets down where Nonon was.
The trio watched as the package was falling down while the helicopter left the area to fly back to Osaka. "Ah, shit!" Ryuko cursed as she drawed her weapon, knowing that there was a Goku Uniform inside that closet.
"If that thing reaches Jakuzure, we'll be in big trouble!" Senketsu warned everyone who could hear him.
"Hey you 2, think you can give me a boost?" Ryuko looked back at the 2 thieves if they can aid her into reaching and destroying that wardrobe. She didn't had any business having her tits in Kyoto, but not even in the 9 circles of hell would let one of Satsuki Kiryuin's cronies become stronger.
"Heh! Glad you ask." Punk smirked alongside Mona. The muscular Nudist placed his hands as a platform for Matoi to be in before launching her as high as she could. "It's all yours Mona!"
"Time to show you perfection! Come on, Diego!" Mona exclaimed as he made Diego cast Garu, provoking a medium whirlwind around the girl, boosting her high enough to reach the falling closet.
"Now you're mine!" Ryuko exclaimed as she prepared her blade to cut down that Goku Uniform before it would reached Nonon Jakuzure, but she had other plans.
"Like hell you are!" Nonon whistled, calling forth her card soldiers that leaped and tackled Matoi back to the ground, stopping her from destroying the new 3-Star Goku Uniform.
"Ah no! We're late!" Morgana cursed as they failed to tear down the incoming package. They all watched in desperation how the closet impacted above the pink-haired villain. And once it did, a pink burst of energy covered the area where she was, revealing her new battle suit. Similar to her former Goku Uniform, it was mostly made out of a metal-like material rather than most of it being made of fabric. She seemed to fly thanks to her 2 shaped turbine wings propelling her.
"Symphony Regalia MK 3!" Nonon shouted as she showed her enemies her new SMT Uniform for them to tremble and witness. "You know, I wanted to show my dear Akira this now, but seems that I must first squash you like bugs before that!"
Ryuko quickly liberating herself from the playing card soldiers by cutting every one of them in half, causing her to be covered in Shadow slime in the process. "Keep dreaming, ya' damn simp! I doubt that Fuzzy Hair would fall in love with a piece of shit like you!" She taunted the President of the Music Club as she tried to clean her Goku Uniform from all the monster ooze on it.
"Oh right… Just no matter how hard we try, you just return with that annoying mood of yours, don't you New Girl?" Nonon just couldn't understand how stubborn Ryuko is for always getting up, despite how many times they shoot her on her knees (figuratively speaking).
"Careful everyone, I'm sensing enormous power coming from Jakuzure's Goku Uniform. Seems that Kurusu's essence has strengthened the Life Fibers on her clothes exponentially." Senketsu warned the group.
"Well, you're the talking scarf made out of Life Fibers, so there's no denying that she has become too strong." Tsumugu added as he looked directly at Senketsu's eye. "So you have any plan for this, you hairball?" Tsumugu then turned his head to see Mona, seeing if he had something to counterattack Jakuzure's new strength since the cat was the most experienced among the Nudists when it came to Persona things.
"Well, there's no deny that Abekamo has already fallen toward the Kiryuin." Mona scuffled a bit angry before re-directing his sight toward the member of the Elite Trio. "But, if the SMT Goku Uniforms also have Elemental weaknesses like Shadows like Mikisugi's research shows, I'm sure that Jakuzure's Regalia have them too! We have to hit her with Elemental attacks until we discover her weak spot." Morgana told everyone as he prepared to load his trusty slingshot.
"Umm… I'm sorry, what?" Ryuko tilted her head in slight confusion, not long before Jakuzure could strike her with a heart-shaped noise projectile that sent her flying down the fallen walls of Abekamo Academy.
"I think what he means is that we must attack her until we discover something she's weak against!" Senketsu told Ryuko while she quickly got up from the strike the musician hit her with.
"Oh I see, hit her until something works out. Hehehe… Not bad at all!" Matoi then exclaimed maliciously while cracking both of her knuckles. "Then let's get her ass!" She then sprinted herself while carrying her sword to attack Nonon, alongside the other 2 Phantom Thieves.
"Come you twerps! You're the perfect crowd to watch me test my new Goku Uniform!" Jakuzure shouted with confidence as she launched a wave of explosive white musical sheets similar to the ones her former Symphony Regalia has.
"Everyone! Look out!" Mona warned the ground as the 3 gracefully avoided the upcoming musical sheets, causing several explosions behind the heroes and blasting away the uncunsious fighters of Abekamos all across the city of Kyoto.
Mona, Punk and Ryuko landed on one of the destroyed roofs of the school each separately, glad that they managed to avoid that attack. There was no denying that the chair of the Culture Division of Honnouji Academy's attacks have become slightly faster and more difficult to avoid.
Though, Jakuzure wouldn't let the trio time to breathe as she began to create floating harps above her using her new-found SMT powers. "Not bad for a lousy music band like you, Now we'll see if your notes are high enough to stand this, and I hope this isn't the case!" The harps then sprouted arrows made out of light and prepared them to launch them as bows. "String Judgement!" Nonon shouted as she extended her hand, making the harps shoot their arrows up to the sky only for her Goku Uniform to launch a speaker-like orb from one of her organ pipe-shaped upper thrusters of her suit where the projectiles were launched, and once it hit the light arrows, it caused the speaker to suspend in the air like a disco ball, raining down light lasers all around the area and destroying anything on its path.
Tsumugu, Morgana and Ryuko were quick on their feet as they constantly were avoiding the falling bullets from the sky. But no matter how many times they dodged, they would soon get tired and let themselves open for the heavenly rain to kill them.
"Man! I would kill for having Ragikaze right now!" Ruko groaned in anger as she was unable to use Senketsu's boombox form when she need it the most. But complains will not solve anything right now. Luckily, she was the first to have at least an idea. She pulled out her sword and began to spin it over her like an helicopter. Due to the speed of the spun weapon and the arrows always coming above them, the spinning blade was able to deflect all of the light arrows like a shield.
"Ryuko, you're a genius!" Morgana told Ryuko about her having the perfect solution to this predicament. He began to do the same thing the spunky girl with the red dash was doing with his saber.
Tsumugu didn't wait for anything and also started to copy Mona and Matoi's with his scythe.
"We'll not be able to attack her with that orb constantly shooting those light beams all across the area!" Mona informed everyone as the meteor fall of the cultural leader didn't show any sign of stopping at anytime
"At least it made that damn snake's overconfidense skyrocket." Punk pointed at Nonon who was simply busy laughing maniacly and enjoying the destruction and ruin happening on her surroundings.
"We won't go anywhere with that orb constantly attacking us!" Senketsu added while looking at the magical boombox orb hanging up in the sky among them. "Someone has to distract Jakuzure and any incoming enemies from someone destroying that thing!"
"Okay, I get it! Can we stop babbling an continue to crack some skulls?" Ryuko seemed desperate of swinging into action. She just wasn't that much of a fan of people constantly talking when fighting.
"Right! The quicker we take care of Jakuzure, the quicker we take care of her, the better for us!" Mona stepped in right before taking out Diego. "Alright guys, I'll give you a boost for you to reach her!"
"What? AlreadAAAAAGHHH!" Ryuko yelled in rage and panic right after the cat's Persona manifested a hurricane among her and Tsumgu that propelled them like rockets against the chair of the Cultural Division of Honnouji Academy.
Ryuko, recover your posture!" Senketsu reminded his weared to stand firm and brave as they were about to hit their destination. The black-haired teenage girl regained her cool as she began to spin like sonig alongside her Tailor's knife while Punk just slashed Nonon with a horizontal slash of his cleaver once the 2 made impact with the petite girl.
The attack resulted on a critical hit as it made Nonon crash against the floor and causing a big impact among the ruins of Abekamo Academy. It was visible that even with the enhanced Life Fibers of Jakuzure's Uniform, it didn't caused the Symphony Regalia's Life Fibers to stitch themselves back together, but at least they protected her stomach from getting cut down like a frog on a dissection class. That and her torn places of her Clothes were fortunaterly non-private parts of her body. Nevertheless, it was thanks to the Persona fragments infused with her uniform that made her recover from the impact with her fighting will intact. "You goddamn bastards! You'll pay for-Ah! Ah! Ah!" Nonon was caught off-guard by the raining arrows from above as she was constantly being bombarded by her own disco ball of death, damaging some of her speaker turbines to be damaged . It seemed that when the user is hit, the orb damages both user and enemies.
"Ha! Not so smug when it happens to you!" Ryuko grinned at Jakuzure while she and Tsumugu continue to spin their melee weapons to shield themselves from the attacks.
"You think I'm retarded enough to not have a plan b if any of this were to happen, skanky slut?" Nonon looked at Matoi in anger before crossing her arms and then raise them, causing that same dark aura from the heating climax of the sudden death run-offs to expand and cover a quarter of the school fields, giving enough space for she and her 2 opponents.
"Heh… Ya' ran out of songs and try to rip-off this kid's moves for your recital? But then again, I doubt that anyone would risk off their ears to assist into your insufferable recitals." Kinagase grinned at the bubblegum-haired teen to tick off her skin and let herself vulnerable.
"The only person who can make the music puns in this dump is me, Banana Brain!" Nonon snarled at the mohawk adult, but not long for her to turn her frown upside down. "That reminds me, I could use some chorus to help me sing your funeral song." She grinned devilishly before her 2 turbines began to play Beethoven, causing medium-size hearts to sprout all around the area she was and hitting all of the Abekamo students.
The students then slowly began to rise like if they were awoken from a deep slumber and their skin and clothes slowly, only for the 2 rebels to realize that their eyes lacked their pupils, leaving them on a zombie-like state and having their pink and squishy brains exposed, being enveloped what it appears to be Life Fibers.
"Aw shit! Now you're telling me that she can raise the dead? What is this? Thriller night?" Ryuko didn't seem to stop to getting annoyed with all the crap Jakuzure was pulling out from her small ass. Though, the brainwashed Abekamo students didn't wait anyone to began attacking the 2 enemies of Honnouji, and they showed themselves to not be as slow as the average zombie. Fortunately, the power gap was in check as Ryuko was shown to easily dispatch any mindless kids coming her way.
"Mind Stitching…" Tsumugu snarled in spite before kicking the brainwashed Senryu with his right boot before being followed by him casting Maragi, causing Van Helsing to breath fire from its mouth and incinerating the brainwashed students right before finishing it with Kougaon, making the Monster Hunter launch a fast ball of light that later exploded around the brainwashed minions. "Life Fibers slither inside your body and wrap themselves all over your brain like worms on an apple, stripping you away from your free will and turning you into a mindless puppet for the Kiryuin and its servant to use." Kinagase explained before turning his body and shooting down 2 of the Guardian Students that were about to ambush Ryuko, paralyzing them as if they were frozen in the process. "Whathever those hearts contain, they must have made the Life Fibers of her Goku Uniform get inside their brains once they made contact!"
Nonon took this as a chance and rammed herself against the older Nudist with the horns of her hat, hitting Tsumugu and pushing him back biting the ground. "Shut it already! Can you stop babbling around and let me kill the 2 of you for once?" Nonon seemed desperate. She just couldn't stand people talking all day long during a confrontation anymore.
Tsumugu quickly got up and rush himself against Nonon with his syche, but the musician quickly blocked the incoming aattack by one of her pink fiery demons coming out of her left speaker turbine. "Says the brat who's entire fighting style revolves around being as lousy as possible!" The nudist responded before pushing back the Elite with his own streght.
"That does it! Better prepare your final bow, jackass!" Jakuzure shouted in anger as she charged her whole body alongside her 2 devils against the charging Persona user riding his hellish bike and showing his Skeleton hunter.
The 2 fighters clashed weapons and began to trade blows with one another. The Demons were assaulting the swifty Tsumugu with claw swipes and pink fire breaths from their mouths. "YES! YESS! BURN! BURN TO CINDER! AHAHAHA!" Nonon was having too much fun on seeing the Nudist being calcinated between the flames of the Goku Uniform. Way too much fun for a sane girl to say the least.
"Heh! Thanks for the buffing, idiot."
"What the!?" Nonon gasped in shock right before receiving a Holy Bullet right through her face.
Kinagase then walked through the flames, without his body showing any sighn of severe burns or anything. It rather shown a more confident and more brave member of Nudist Beach strolling over the flames and absorbing them, as If they were boosting him rather than harming him.
"Alright, what the hell happened now?" Ryuko grown confused on what she just saw not before throwing her Blade like a boomerang against the brainwashed Abekamo students, taking them all out.
"It must be Tsumugu's Persona!" Senketsu pointed out. "By the looks of it, it seems that the Persona he obtained just didn't grant immunity against any type of pyrokinetic harm, it made his body able to absorb fire around him and convert it into pure power!"
"So that's what it is, huh? Not bad…" The red-haired soldier smirked as he felt his muscles more powerful due to his body ability to absorb fire. He then changed his attention to the petite girl he was pitty against, only to find her being covered in fired, freaking out on how to put down the fire.
"AAAAAAHHH! HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT!" Nonon squabbled like an out-of-control freak, rolling on the ground trying to put down the flames before they devour their entire Goku Uniform.
"I see now! Since Goku Uniforms are made out of Life Fibers, being thread-like organisms, they're highly flammable! That's it! That's their weakness!" Kinagase finally made the discovery of the century that the Kiryuin tried to censor from everyone's brains. Life Fibers hate fire since they are highly flammable just like any normal set of clothes, that and their representation of the flame of rebellion opposing and burning the threads of fate binding their lives.
"Hah! No wonder why you gained fire powers from all people!" Matoi added.
The pink-haired teenager snarled at the 2 of them right after putting down the fire trying to consume her, more pissed off than ever. "I swear… you people are like hecklers that… UGH…" Nonon seemed too tired to even getting up. She was defeated by a girl with temper issues and a freaking nudist from all people. No… She can't give up! "GHAAAAHHH! JUST DIE ALREADY!" Nonon roared in pure primal wrath, causing her speakers to charge a mysterious psychokinetic energy. "PSYCHIC CRESSENDO!" Nonon shouted as her speakers burst into psychokinetic energy launching not only multicolor meteors to the rebel's directions, but also psycic flutes and musical sheets were coming through their direction. A full barrage wasn't able to be dodged as Tsumugu as bombarded by that musical barrage without mercy. Fortunately, he wasn't weak toward Psychokinetic attacks, but he wasn't resistant to them too.
Kinagase couldn't take it anymore and fell to the floor without energy to fight.
"TSUMUGU!" Ryuko snapped when he saw the nudist bite the dust and quickly made a strong a swift slash against the last remaining students before coming to where the Mohawk man was as fast as she could. "You can't die here! Please, tell me you're still okay, you pervert bastard!"
"Relax Ryuko! He still okay." Senketsu affirmed to Matoi that the Nudist indeed hasn't made his last breath.
"Your t-talking scarf is-is right…" Punk affirmed while his Phantom Thief outfit banished, for it being replaced by his usual military attire. "I-I just don't feel I can't fight anymore… *Cough* *Cough*".
Ryuko quickly carried the man over her shoulder. It wasn't that she considers him as a friend, but she has begun to grow a bond with him. Perhaps what that old man with that comically long nose was right. Nevertheless, he quickly looked at Nonon with a spiteful narrow, like a tiger locking itself to its next pray. "Fucking bastard…"
"Ohohoho… What's the matter new girl? Did I hurt one of your dumb pals?" Nonon teased the angsty girl, only resulting her to anger even further. "Yeah, yeah… Try all you want, but even if you're wearing one of our Goku Uniforms, I doubt that you'll be strong enough to even make me bleed." And Jakuzure's evil monologue didn't stop there. She just continued and continued, without any sign of stopping.
"Goku Uniform! That reminds me of something Ryuko!" Senketsu's bulb brightened once he remembers what were Satsuki's new set of SMT Goku Uniforms were capable of doing.
"What is is, Senketsu?"
"Remember back at Kobe when Gamagori's troops managed to use that light-based attack Akira uses? Maybe yours can also do it!" He theorized, remembering that the SMT Goku Uniforms were made out of fragments of Akira's esscense, which now that I think about it, it's kinda gross…
"Oh, I get it! You're a genius Senketsu!" Ryuko complimented her Kamui for reminding her of that. To do that she shut her eyes for a moment and try to feel anything, odd about her body with the essence of one of her best friends flowing like a river. "Alright Matoi, try to concentrate… and try to make some magic shit!" She thought to herself on her inner dialogue, causing her right fist to emit Spiral Energy before it morphed into that black and red dark energy Raoul uses with his Curse Skills. Ryuko opened her eyes and saw her glowing dark hand. "Hehe! Nice!" She gleamed before looking at Nonon. "Hey bitch! Your fight is with me!" She drawed the muscician attention for her to leave Tsumugu alone. "Or what? Did you finally admit that you weren't that big of a meace and you're nothing more than a freaking creep simpin' for fuzzy hair!"
That insult did indeed brought the Elite's attention, for the worst. "JUST HOW MANY TIMES TO I HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON!? DON'T CALL ME A FREAKING SIMP!" Jakuzure exploded once again as she deployed her Psychic crescendo, now with intentions of tsargeting Ryuko Matoi.
"Oh, oh, Oh yeah! Now we're talkin'!" The teen smirked with confidence as she cracked her knuckles. "Have at ya, ya' cunt!" She cursed before she started to run as fast as she could, dodging and resisting every psychic projectile thrown at her. Just like how she used her Scissor Blade like a pole vault to boost herself, she did the same with her Tailor's Cutter to fling herself at Nonon, leaving her with an angry Tailor's Glove boosted with Curse Energy. "Hey Bitch!" She called out Nonon's attention, which the pinkette quickly turned her attention to see the pissed-off girl. "Show's Over!" She shouted before striking Nonon right in the face with her Eigaon-enchanced Tailor's Glove, causing a gigantic dark and light green explosion where she and Nonon were. Not only it was enough to finally defeat the member of the Elite 4, but the punch was so strong, that it made 2 of Nonon's teeth to fall off.
"Alright! Now's my time to shine!" Morgana finally had all the parameters to launch his projectile against the orb and threw it out of his slingshot to make anyone wait, destroying the floating orb and stopping the endless arrows from falling off all over Abekamo endlessly.
Ryuko fell back on land safe and sound, with a sense of victory and superiority. "Man, I'll never get tired of beating that bitch up. It's just so satisfying." She added with a grin on her smile while she janked off her Tailor's Dagger out of the ground with pride. "Man, you Nudist Freaks sure have some kick-ass gear." She looked at Tsumugu who at least managed to recover enough to at least stand up.
"Heh… If you're that impressed, then you haven't seen a DTR in action." Kinagase responded as the No-Sound Barrier Jakuzure created began to vanish, allowing Morgana to get in an cast a recovery skill on Tsumugu. "Heh, thanks lil' buddy. You sure have our backs."
"Ehh, no need for compliments." Morgana replied with a smile. "It's just natural teamwork after all." That's when the cartoon cat stopped and turned his head where Nonon was laying. "Now, about her…"
Jakuzure slowly got herself up as she was gradually recovering her senses. "Ugh… You sacks of shit… I swear i-" The Snake stopped once she realized she was missing something important. "My… My… My… WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY BEAUTIFUL TEETH!?" She exploded out of rage once she found out that she was missing a left upper fang and one of her right molar tooth.
"Hey, don't go bitching around you loosing some damn teeth. You literally killed like I don't know, a hundred or some people and all you care about are some fuckin' teeth?" Ryuko rambled back at the petite girl, having intentions of breaking her neck if necessary.
Jakuzure growled in frustration as she was about to strangle the 3 opposing forces, until she received a call from Iori that caught her by Surprise.
"Miss Jakuzure, seems that you have already taken care of the Abekamo Academy. And it also seems that you're too weak to fight. Lady Satsuki orders you to regroup at Osaka with the fellow Elites. I'll make sure to apply any repairs to your Uniform." Shiro ended the line.
"Ghrrr… You're freaking lucky that Lady Satsuki needs me at Osaka, but i'll still not gonna forgive you for what you did, I'LL HAVE MY REVENGE!" Nonon Jakuzure shouted like a typical villain being defeated by the heroes while blasting herself off like a rocket to where Osaka was located with the remaining energy her Uniform had.
"W-wait! Don't go there and-" Just when Ryuko was about to follow the Snake's toxic track, she was stopped by Tsumugu who hold her shoulder and shook his head. "Effin' coward! Then go ahead! Go cry back to Satsuki Kiryuin, ya' damn flat board!" Nevertheless, Ryuko didn't stopped insulting Jakuzure from her back as the Kamui wielder gave off the middle finger at the Muscisian.
"You don't need to push yourself too far Ryuko." Senketsu sided himself with the Anti-Uniform Guerilla on this one. She has pushed herself too far being kamuiless… "Besides, didn't we came all our way here for something else?" The Kamui eye then looked at the unconscious Honnouji Students still having his pieces.
Some time after, Ryuko made sure to tear off Senketsu's parts from the Goku Uniforms of the Cultural Division, and also tear their uniforms just to add salt to the injury. She just loved to tick off Honnouji Academy in any shape or form.
"So, I guess this is where we part ways, huh?" Tsumugu looked at Ryuko who finished putting her Kamui's body parts on her guitar case when she also uses to carry her Tailor's Cutter.
"Neh, not really. Ya' boss told me that y'all gathering at Osaka. What is it, are they gonna make the biggest orgy ever or what?" She continued to tease the Nudist before carrying her case and turning on her scooter.
"Well, basing on what you said, I still think that you have some unfinished business with a certain dictator, aren't ya?" Kinagase returned the tease to Matoi with a grin. "But seriously, without your Kamui, you're just defenseless against her and you'll probably get yourself kill right that instant."
"Well, you got yourself a point there pal." The girl with dash of red looked back as she began to prepare the motor of her bike. "Still I have my priorities ya' know? Take Mako out of there, Put back Senketsu together, get back my Scissor Blade and then break Satsuki Kiryuin's neck." She replied while cracking her knuckles once again.
"Woah! Slow down there, Shadow the Hedgehod." Morgana didn't wait to join in the conversation. "So anyway, since you're also going to Osaka, think we can come in too? I-I mean, we aren't forcing you or anything."
Ryuko softly smiled at the 2 members of Nudist Beach. "Well, if it was me during my first day at Honnouji Academy, I would just throw you off a cliff. But, since Fuzzy Hair will need some help out there, sure why not?"
"So it's decided!" Senketsu stated as he was ready to continue. "Let's all go to Osaka and finish this once and for all!"
"W-wait! WAIT!" Ryuko stopped everyone as she had a brilliant idea to make this even more badass. "W-what if we light this whole school up on fire and make it explode while we all slowly walk away without looking back?"
Tsumugu quickly hold the chick's arms. "Ryuko, that's unnecessary dangerous and it will only make us stall a lot of time we can use to fulfil our mission… Let's do it."
Minutes later, the 3 stooges walked away from Abekamo Academy under fire and was exploding on their backs. Sure, they made sure to get all students out before doing this. Mona, Punk, Ryuko and even Senketsu all wore black sunglasses while the 3 hold their melee weapons on their back with the Persona users showing off their other's self for display. With the edgy girl chewing off bubblegum while the 3 got on their vehicles to drive their way to Osaka.
"This is it, Satsuki Kiryuin… Now I'm fucking pissed…" Ryuko snarled inside her mind as she and Tsumugu drove their way to Osaka. "Mako, Ren, I'm coming…"
Back at the now-decimated Kami-Kobe High School in well, Kobe, a small spira-like portal opened above the blue skies of the city, only to reveal a particular young girl from Middle-School riding what it appears to be a gun-shaped hoverbike with the only set of clothing being a pair of black latex gloves, a white sleeveless short jacket and shorts and a blue and white stripe bra that covered her surprisingly flat chest. But let's better not get on those details.
Veteran Space Patrol officer Luluco Godspeed, daughter of the also veteran Space Patroller Kaiji and the infamous Space Pirate and one of the most wanted criminals all around the Triggerverse Lalaco Godspeed landed her trusty hover-bike that she uses to patrol the Triggerverse on the ground and made sure that it was on a free parking spot, just for then to apply a camouflage protocol to not cause a commotion among the general public. She was currently on a mission all across the boundless dimensions to where she is right now. She was tasked by the Space Patrol to travel to the world where the Spiral Nemesis has been kept in to prevent it from annihilating all of existence and remake everything as its new creator and all-powerful god and return Nova-Kun back to custody. After all, she did promised him that he would one day arrest him and marry him during their separation after their victory against the Black-Holian.
"Here Trigger-Chan to HQ. I've managed to land on the world where the descendant of Hells Monkey and AΩ Nova are located." She informed the main Headquarters of the Space Patrol from her transmitter. "Though unfortunately, seems that the followers of the Spiral Nemesis have already caused destruction where I am right now." Luluco the brought her smartphone to take photos of the aftermath of the Kami-Kobe battlefield and send them to the main Headquarters of her Ogikubo's Space Patrol office. She just couldn't believe it. How can a group of young adults would cause so much destruction in less than a day? Well, the wonders of the universe…
Luluco had to act fast and stop the venerators of the Life Fibers from using Nova and the Hells Monkey's descendant to open a rift to all dimensions known to men. All she needs to do is find Satsuki and her minion's location. Her search was cut short until she noticed a bulletin on the floor of Osaka that one of the One-Stars dropped to analize the enemy. She now had a good idea on where are they going after now. She quickly hopped back at her trusty hover-bike and blasted herself where Osaka was.
"I may not be the strongest in the universe, but I won't let those red threads hurt my friends and Nova-Kun again! Nova-Kun, I'm coming!"
