Everyone didn't know what to do since if Ekizen decided to turn on them Ryuko would have to sprint to retrieve her Rending Scissors, but other then that they didn't know if Satsuki's blades would affect this Ekizen's Kamui. The minotaur roared and charged at Ekizen, he dodged to the side and Nonon didn't know why but she froze in place as the minotaur's ax swung down towards her. Satsuki and Gamagori sprinted towards her but Ekizen got to her first. He shoved her out of the way and his sash wrapped around the hilt of the ax stopping it in its tracks. The sash swung the minotaur around like it was made out of paper mache and chucked it across the construction site.
"Life Fiber construct, hand cannon." Ekizen hissed before Life Fibers leapt from his fingers and formed into a huge pistol in each of his hands.
He shot across the site towards the minotaur and as it land he leapt over it and unloaded several rounds into the minotaur and eventually it started to dissolve and go into Ekizen's sash. Everyone watched him as the Life Fibers finished going into his sash and he started to walk back towards them. As he got close Satsuki pulled her swords out but Ekizen walked past her and crouched down in front of Nonon.
"Are you alright?" Ekizen asked her. "I didn't mean to push you so hard."
"Yeah, you saved my ass back there when I was too afraid." Nonon whispered.
"Your fear makes you human." Ekizen replied as he stood up with her in his arms.
"Put her down you bastard, we don't even know what you are." Satsuki hissed as she leveled her Bakuzan Koryu against Ekizen's throat.
"Look at where you stand." Ekizen told her. "You don't know the effectiveness of your weapons against me and you have a few primordial Life Fibers coming your way since you destroyed the last one."
Everyone froze again and Satsuki's grip on her sword slackened.
"I am not the threat here, I came to help you all out, and I also hope to avenge my planet." Ekizen replied.
Satsuki tightened her grip on her sword again and pressed the tip of it against his neck harder even though it failed to draw any blood from him.
"So you still don't trust me, at least let me give her to someone else so she isn't harmed in the process." Ekizen told Satsuki as Inumuta gently took Nonon from him. "Alright now that she isn't in danger again so where were we?"
Satsuki gritted her teeth and glanced at Nonon as Ryuko gently pushed her arm down.
"Satsuki, we should at least hear him out." Ryuko told her. "If he was to be an enemy he wouldn't have save Nonon."
"Before I explain anything we should get Nonon checked out to make sure she doesn't have any internal injury." Ekizen told them.
Satsuki sighed and nodded as they made their way to the Mankanshoku's house after Ekizen took Nonon back from Inumuta.
A few hours later everyone was sitting in the living room of the Mankanshoku's house except for Nonon who was gesturing for Ekizen to follow her, which he did quickly. Once they were out of earshot Nonon leaned against a wall and looked at Ekizen.
"Are you feeling alright Nonon?" Ekizen asked her softly, messing with his belt slightly since his clothes went back to normal.
"You saved me twice…I hate it." Nonon replied as she looked away.
"Oh?" Ekizen asked her. "What do you mean by that?"
"I never needed to be rescued by anyone, I feel weak and useless." Nonon whispered as she rubbed her arm gently.
Ekizen sighed and smiled softly as he ruffled her hair gently.
"Listen to me Nonon, we saw how it was here with Satsuki preparing you all for facing the primordial Life Fiber and Ragyo." Ekizen told her. "The stuff thalife t is coming now is much worse, and it was used to incite fear on my home world. Beast made of pure Life Fibers, with no other thought than to destroy as it is the will of its creators."
Nonon barely looked at Ekizen and gasped as he hugged her tightly.
"We should get back to the rest of the group you idiot." Nonon told him.
Ekizen chuckled and nodded before they walked back to the group with everyone staring at them.
"Why did you two sneak off?!" Mako asked them excitedly. "Were you two making out?"
Ekizen raised an eyebrow as Nonon blushed slightly and gritted her teeth.
"No we weren't slacker, no mind your own business why don't you." Nonon hissed at her.
Satsuki raised her hand slightly and everyone quieted with only Ekizen chuckling softly.
"Ah yes, the young lady who spearheaded the idea to equip kids to fight Life Fibers with other Life Fibers." Ekizen cooed softly, watch closely for her reaction.
"At least my planet is still around." Satsuki replied coolly.
Everyone looked between the two as Ryuko started to get to her feet.
"So… before we murder each other Satsuki I want to offer a truce to keep this planet safe." Ekizen told her as he offered a hand to her.
Satsuki stared at his hand for a little before shaking it gently.
"Step out of line and hurt one of the people I care about I will kill you, is that understood?" Satsuki asked him.
"Loud and clear young Kiryuin" Ekizen replied as he stretched slowly.
Everyone started to relax as Ekizen and Satsuki sat down opposite of each other and continued to look at each other.
"So where should I start in my explaination?" Ekizen asked them.
"What the hell are you?" Ryuko asked him.
"I'm like you Ryuko, my body has been completely infused with Life Fibers against my will." Ekizen told them. "Other than that I can craft those Goku Uniforms from the Fibers within my body but I rarely do it since I don't know exactly how to do it or the effect it would have on my body."
Satsuki nodded and leaned forward slightly. "Have you tried making uniforms before?"
"No, I'd rather not accidently kill myself to give only one person the ability to combat Life Fibers." Ekizen replied. "As long as I am alive I can be sure that there is someone who can still fight."
"We saw you make dual hand cannons while you were fighting the minotaur." Satsuki told him.
"The Life Fibers never left my grip so I never lost any power." Ekizen replied. "Any way I am not able to summon my weapons without the use of my Kamui."
"So you don't have any real sync with your Kamui." Satsuki pointed out.
"I don't like relying on it so much, so I can be sure that I can fight without it." Ekizen told her.
Mako yawned and looked at everyone.
"Well time for bed everyone!" Mako said as she smiled.
"I'm nowhere near done questioning our friend here." Satsuki growled.
"We can continue tomorrow, sleep is good for the bed anyway." Mako told them.
"I'll take that as my moment to leave." Ekizen replied as he quickly left, not noticing as Nonon followed him.
