1pm
Mako was on the steps below the arena
Ryuko was on top of a pillar. and so were the elite four.
Satsuki:.....
satsuki hits her sheath on the floor.
Satsuki: Begin!
then a horn sounds and the arena screen displays
"BEGIN FIGHTING"
stairs appear that lead directly to the arena.
Varakiel: Now remember ryuko don't waste energy on unnecessary attacks, it is always better to evade than block and never underestimate your opponent.
Ryuko: got it.
Varakiel: And be careful, the three-stars uniforms are not normal.
Ryuko: mhm.
Varakiel: And remember as long as you wish to I will assist you in battle, but you can only do it when you believe you're cornered. You must not grow too dependent on me, but you can do it a lot tho, hahahaha.
Ryuko: *smile* of course Aniki, i am counting with you.
Varakiel: always, now want to start transformed or want to test the waters first?
Ryuko: That would be a good idea….
Gamagori: you're not transforming Matoi!? That would be your biggest mistake!!
gamagori then begins to transform.
*transform sequence*
Gamagori: Shackle regalia!
Ryuko:....
gamagori and ryuko stare at each other.
Varakiel: *pssst* A secret clue ryuko-chan his uniform's special ability, is that he absorbs power and then it transforms again.
Ryuko: (double transformation?).....
Gamagori: hey.
Ryuko: what?
Gamagori: Do you want to fight or not!?
Ryuko: Of course! I am just thinking.
Gamagori: thinking?
Ryuko: about what technique i know can cause the most damage...…ah i know! hey varakiel can i use that technique you taught me?
Varakiel: which one?
Ryuko: the explosion one.
Varakiel: oh, that, go ahead, it seems he won't move is a good target for you to use it in combat.
Ryuko:.....*smirk*
Gamagori: so?
Varakiel: Alright now remember push your blade back to accumulate power and using your willpower infuse it with an explosion.
*cling*
Ryuko then moves her blade.
Ryuko:....*inhale*
and this starts to glow with blue flames...
Ryuko:!! ALFHEIM!
Ryuko then stabs gamagori!
Gamagori:.....uh, was that all?
*KABOOOOOM*
Gamagori: ha....ha.....hahahahaha! yes! discipline me more! do it again!
Ryuko:....say what….
Varakiel: oh, wait, i should have figured it out…ryuko this might be hard for you.
Ryuko: what is it?
Varakiel: This guy…is a masochist.
Ryuko:....is everyone in this school a damn pervert!?
Gamagori: c'mon matoi! Punish me more!
Ryuko:...i think i'll pass…
Gamagori: fine then! I'll do it myself!
gamagori then begins to whip himself and his uniform begins to inflate!
Gamagori: I punish and punish and punish myself, and bring myself to a climax! This is my Higi Jijo-Jibaku!
Ryuko: What the hell!?
Gamagori: Now, let me show you!
gamagori uniform then changes!
Gamagori: Scourge Regalia!
Gamagori countless whips begin to flail widely across the whole arena!
gamagori then attacks ryuko!
Ryuko: wah!!!
ryuko is throw again by the attack and is attacked mid air
*smack* *smack* *smack*
Ryuko: ugh! I was not expecting that.
Gamagori: What are you waiting for?
*smack*
Gamagori: if you fall out of the battle area, you lose right then and there!
*smack*
Ryuko: Nobody said that was a rule!
*smack*
Gamagori: That's why I'm saying so now! Are we clear, matoi?
Ryuko: Crystal clear! now.
*ping*
Ryuko: life fiber synchronization! Kamui Varakiel!
Gamagori: finally transf-
Ryuko: Thank you ever so much!
Ryuko then slash on to the whips and cuts them away.
Gamagori: what!?
Ryuko: for your information i am not the same from a week ago, today i am stronger than ever!
the whips then retract back and roll up in gamagori again.
Gamagori: you acknowledge that even if that's true a contest of endurance against me is futile? alright what's your next move?
Ryuko: *smirk* *inhale* *exhale*
Ryuko relaxes her face and enters a serene state
[Serene mind]
Ryuko:.....
Uzu: what...what i have done!?
uzu drops to the floor, defeated because he can see something coming from ryuko, he can see that her senses, all of them have been connected with the world itself.
Uzu: So that's what he meant by that, I was stupid too stupid!
Nonon: the hell is wrong with him?
Inumuta: who knows he must be seeing something we don't.
Ryuko then approaches gamagori. slowly.
*Cling*
Ryuko slashes to the cloth armor.
Gamagori: i to- uh?
*creak* *creak*
Gamagori: oi…..
Ryuko: Ha...…
*CRACK*
Ryuko manages to break the cloth armor!
Gamagori: Nani!?
Ryuko: You see, I have already forgotten the reason why I initially came here, I do not fight due to a personal vendetta anymore.
Ryuko then slashes again.
*Cling*
Ryuko: The reason I fight now.
*creak*
Ryuko: is to live my future in peace.
*creak*
Ryuko: and for that reason I…
*creak*
Ryuko: no, we must find the truth!
*CRACK*
Gamagori: Very well, let me show you the true terror of the Shackle regalia!
gamagori then transforms again and takes out 6 chakrams!
Gamagori: Ryuko matoi, your independence is revoked! I'm going to mold you into a proper student!
gamagori then proceeds to haul ryuko with the chakrams.
Gamagori: where do you get off, anyway, modifying your sailor uniform into that slutty outfit?! how utterly depraved! how utterly deviant!
Ryuko: what about your precious lady satsuki. then?
Gamagori: she is an exception!
Ryuko: nani!?
Gamagori: her form is made up of her iron will and well-trained body.
Ryuko: don't give me that self-serving garbage!
Varakiel: calm down ryuko you're losing focus.
Ryuko: *inhale* *exhale*....
Varakiel: but all of this has given me an idea, first transform back.
Ryuko:....*nod*
Ryuko then turns back to the sailor uniform.
Gamagori: oh, so my words finally got through to you? I see that you have returned to a more proper appearance!
Ryuko: Who would listen to you, you big pervert?
Gamagori: in that case, taste the ultimate whip of love!
then a giant whip comes out from gamagori's...….crotch…..oh god.
Varakiel: *Chomp* ryuko grab into it and don't let go!
Ryuko: got it *Chomp* ñom ñom ñom
Gamagori: UH!?
gamagori then retracts the whips back and absorbs ryuko.
Aikuro: what the hell are those two trying to do?
Gamagori: heh, so, you're applying the idea that "even the hunter spares the bird that flies to his bosom"? but i must warn you, i'm not that sentimental! i'll strangle you right there!
gamagori then begins to apply pressure to his uniform to crush ryuko.
Ryuko: kuh, I just need to focus again..
Gamagori: having trouble breathing? but without your scissor blade, you have no way to fight back!
Nonon: uh-oh. is it all over?
Inumuta: a shame, i wanted to gather more kamui data.
Uzu: no, gamagori-san has lost.
Nonon: uh!?
Inumuta: what?
Satsuki: indeed….gamagori, that was foolish.
*shine*
Varakiel: new transformation incoming!
blades begin to come out from gamagori uniform.
Ryuko: UH HOOOOOO!!!!
ryuko comes out as she breaks the uniform from the inside with the blades coming out varakiel new form.
Gamagori: what!?
Ryuko & Varakiel: Varakiel Senjin!
Gamagori: she turned her kamui into a blade?
Ryuko: Now you don't have enough energy to transform into your scourge regalia!
Gamagori: kuh!
gamagori then launches whips to ryuko.
Ryuko: too late!
thrusters from ryukos back pushes her forward.
Ryuko: your life fibers are totally exposed now! Finishing move: Sen-I-Soshitsu!
Gamagori: i-impossible.
Varakiel then absorbs the life fiber threads from gamagori uniform.
*crush*
gamagori falls to the ground.
Nonon: uhhhh….
Uzu: ....
Inumuta:.....
Satsuki: become obsessed with resolve, and even that will turn to arrogance. a shame.
ROUND 1 VICTOR: RYUKO MATOI
Mako: you did it, ryuko-chan!
The condo of mankanshoku family.
Barazo: ryuko-chan did it!!
Mataro: ryuko-chan is the best!
Sukuyo: yay ryuko-chan!
Ryuko: just like you said, varakiel!
Varakiel: Mhm, I should practice trying other transformations in the future, and now some ideas are flowing into my mind, wait for them with excitement.
Ryuko: ohhhhh!! I can't wait aniki! Your positive outlook is the best thing of you!
Aikuro: so it has learned to transform yet again based on battlefield conditions. i'm impressed, varakiel and ryuko.
from the smoke gamagori kneels down.
Gamagori: disgraceful! that was disgraceful, ira gamagori!
Gamagori then takes out a tanto and was about to commit seppuku when
*wrap* *wrap*
two pieces of cloth entangle the tanto one from satsuki and other from varakiel.
Gamagori: lady….satsuki...matoi-san…..
Satsuki: wipe away your own tears. it's too early to kneel in defeat.
Varakiel: "the hell are you doing big idiot, you got defeated once, what about it? the only way someone would truly defeat you is if they break your conviction and your loyalty, there still a lot of for you to grown up, you're just at the bottom of the well, grown stronger and challenge ryuko again"
varakiel then hands some clothes to gamagori.
Varakiel: "put some clothes on, you lost the fight but war still continues"
Gamagori:....lady satsuki…matoi-san…..i understand.
Satsuki:.....
Ryuko:.....
then the smoke disperses and satsuki disappears on it.
Ryuko: that's one down, satsuki!
Inumuta: i suppose that means…..
Ryuko: ah?
Inumuta:....that i will be your next opponent, matoi.
Ryuko:....
Satsuki: you are free to rest, matoi!
Ryuko: get r–ouch
*smack*
A tentacle smacks Ryuko's head.
Varakiel: ryuko-chan it seems you haven't learned anything~.
Ryuko:...i am sorry aniki…..fine i will take a rest.
Ryuko then sits on the ground.
Inumuta:.....
Satsuki:...
Mako:.....
Aikuro:....
...….
Varakiel: There we go, you're now back to full capacity.
Ryuko: mhm…..i am sorry for my recklessness Aniki.
Varakiel: mhm, i can't blame your hot blooded temper, but you got me so it is okay.
Ryuko: Okay, let's get to it.
Inumuta: very well.
Inumuta then takes a device and looks at it with a smile on his face.
aikuro: the second of the elite four….
Mako: is ryuko gonna be okay? if i was allowed to be her assistant, i'd be right there looking after her with varakiel-san!
*bang*
gamagori sits besides mako.
Mako: g-gamagori-senpai! Where did you get those clothes?
Gamagori: matoi-san handed them to me, mankanshoku. And not be afraid, right now I am now a no-star. to observe this battle, it is only fitting that i do so from these spectator seats where the no-stars are gathered.
gamagori clutches a napkin.
Gamagori: lady satsuki, ira gamagori will surely work his way back up from this shame! i won't allow your kindness towards me to be in vain!
Mako: oh, i get it! you want to fight me right here and now, right?
Gamagori:.....
Mako: i'm cheering on ryuko with all i've got. so i won't let anyone interfere, not even you!
Gamagori: oh ho, how amusing! even with you cheering her on, lady satsuki's stronghold won't budge one iota!
Mako: But it did budge! you lost, remember?
Gamagori: urghh….Inumuta, win! trounce her thoroughly and utterly!
Mako: ryuko, take him out! you can do it!
Gamagori: you hear me, inumuta!?
Inumuta: time to hit the noise canceller….i'm not interested in hearing a beaten dog yap away.
Nonon: ohh…? (now she's showing mercy to the vanquished. what's our mighty queen up to?)
uzu: you have doubts about lady satsuki?
Nonon: honestly, ever since you lost your sight, that obnoxious intuition of yours has gotten even sharper, mr. wild monkey.
Uzu: if you doubt her, it's your own footing that will become unsure.
Nonon: I hate to break it to you, but I have a different relationship to her than the rest of you.
Uzu: hmph.
Meanwhile inumuta was reviewing ryuko's data.
Inumuta: that kamui transformation was most fascinating. but you overexerted yourself in your fight against gamagori, don't you think? if you didn't take that rest your breathing would be heavy and your heart rate elevated.
Ryuko: hmmm….first time i hear one of you worry about me. Let's get this started!
ryuko looks at satsuki.
Satsuki: round two…begin.
SECOND BATTLE BEGIN FIGHTING
Inumuta: Understood.
*transformation sequence*
Inumuta: three-star goku uniform: probe regalia.
*cheer*
Ryuko:...."probe regalía," huh? seems more restrained than the others….
Varakiel: hmmm...i see how it is, ryuko-chan be careful this guy is acting like a high tech computer he's analyzing your patterns and your status in real time through all the time.
Ryuko:..... he is their intel chief after all….let's be careful.
Inumuta: so, she's starting right off the bat with stage 1, her combat mode, eh?
Ryuko: HA!
Inumuta: ah, i see.
on inumuta eyes ryuko was moving like an hologram predicting her movements, but.
Inumuta: !?
*clang*
ryuko strikes him even faster that he could predict, and he evades and jumps backwards.
Inumuta: she's even faster than i predicted?
Ryuko:....what is it?....hey varakiel should i end this quickly?
ryuko uses her scarf to hide her mouth so inumuta can't read her lips.
Varakiel:.....no, i want to see what he's capable of and i bet you're the same.
Ryuko: heheh, you know me well, aniki....i know your type. you guys are always spouting crap like, "i've analyzed all your capabilities" or "i can anticipate all your moves!"
Ryuko says as she makes weird poses and so does Inumuta while he listens…..
Ryuko: there's only one way to beat somebody like you: to be reckless!
Ryuko then rushes around Inumuta trying to be unpredictable.
Inumuta: I see, that's why you exerted yourself right away and boosted your reaction speed higher than I predicted. boosting your life fiber link through force of will, eh? The methodology is the same as that of the goku uniforms, but, given that yours is 100% life fibers, its effect is that much greater. but i wonder, how long can your body keep this up?
Ryuko: it ain't about if i can or not, i will make it last.
Ryuko charges to inumuta.
Inumuta: I expect nothing less from ryuko matoi! Why is it that the human body can move like that simply by putting on clothing made of life fibers? show me the reason why with your actions!
*Clang*
Ryuko: what the!?
inumuta was gone from his position.
Ryuko: he vanished!?
Mako: he disappeared!
Gamagori: when houka inumuta's goku uniform shines, white butterflies flutter and come to rest on a snowman. he did not vanish! this is optical camouflage!
Mako: nuh-uh! there's no butterflies in winter! they die when it snows!
Gamagori: i should have known, mankanshoku. you totally missed the point.
Inumuta: when it comes to haphazard attacks, the most effective thing to do is dodge them. what's more, if the target is counterattacked, the psychological damage is all the greater.
Inumuta then strike ryuko on her back.
Ryuko: ugh!
*pow pow pow pow pow pow pow*
inumuta then barrages ryuko with strikes.
and pushes her to the edge of the arena.
Inumuta: hahahaha, there's nowhere to run! if i can only gather obvious data like this, i'll be very disappointed!
Ryuko: alright, time for plan #2. Let's get really reckless!
Varakiel: As you wish, just take in mind your uniform will shrink even more, can you handle the shame?
Ryuko: It would be even more shameful if I were to lose like this after all that training right?
Varakiel: alright....
Varakiel eye then begin to grow up.
Varakiel: eat this!
Inumuta: What!? That eye is totally huge!
Ryuko: if i can't see where you are, i'll just have to attack everywhere at the same time!
Ryuko's uniform shrinks a lot at the same time.
Inumuta: e-evasion…
Ryuko: HA!
ryuko then slams varakiel eye in the arena.
Inumuta:...imposible!
*BANG*
Inumuta lies on the floor with his head buried in the arena.
Mako: I can see him!
Nonon: oh, dear. It looks like the shock of that attack has wrecked that hide-and-see ability of his.
Uzu: That's what happens when you rely on your eyes.
Nonon: yeah, just like a certain somebody!
Inumuta: ugh!
inumuta stands up.
Ryuko: see that? make a crazy attack even crazier, and it'll hit. let's do it, varakiel!
Varakiel: Your blood is boiling even hotter than usual.
Ryuko: Yeah, 'cause I won't stop here!
Inumuta: I'm at the limits of my processing capacity!?
Ryuko: sen-i—
Inumuta then undoes his uniform.
and ryuko stops her blade on his face.
Inumuta: houka inumuta hereby forfeits this battle!
FORFEIT
Ryuko: What are you up to?
Inumuta: if i continue fighting the data i've gathered so far would be damaged.
Ryuko: say what?
Inumuta: What I want is data. not victory.
Nonon: that data-lover is grandstanding again….
Uzu: still, lady satsuki is allowing it.
Ryuko: *sigh* This place is really full of weirdos.
Ryuko sits down on the floor.
Varakiel: Alright let me heal your wounds and recover your energy.
Ryuko: mhm, thanks, aniki.
Satsuki: jakuzure. prepare for battle.
Nonon: eh?
Uzu: What's the matter? What are you so flustered about? I thought you two went back further than any of the rest of us.
Nonon: oh, shut up!
uzu stands up from the ground.
Nonon: hey! I'm the one who's going to fight next!
Uzu: I know that. but i have to go break in my three-star goku uniform: blade regalia mkII
Nonon: what are you saying!? you're assuming that i'm gonna lose!? Nobody mocks me!
Aikuro: she's cleared the second one, too… that's way better than i expected, but still…
