Chapter 179: Cultural and Sports Grand Festival (4)
~Third POV~
[The Great Culture and Sports Festival Stadium]
Observing the scene Mash immediately came out from his box seat seeing multiple people to reveal the whole crowd encased in Life Fibers. The once loud and bustling stadium was now dead silent as Ragyo's voice echoed throughout the stadium happily, "Such wonderful silence… the cacophony spewed forth by the foolish creature known as humanity fades away, and nothing but tranquil vibes will fill the world."
Rei nods her head fanatically supporting Ragyo's decision bowing her head lightly, "The experiment is a success! Lady Ragyo."
*Tmp*
These tranquil vibes she spoke of were interrupted by Mash's steps as Ragyo ignored everything else she stared into the eyes of a certain individual with a satisfied grin on her face and greeted in a heartwarming tone, "Well, well, the guest of honor has arrived~ How wonderful of you to come at this – "
However, contrary to what everyone expected his reaction he spoke laughing at her attire stopping the tense atmosphere in the air in a mocking tone, "HAHAHAHA!! Sorry, but I can't get you serious about wearing such a horrendous attire you call a dress. Was that supposed to be an outfit made for a jester or a clown playing the fool? I can't take you seriously at all wearing that mongrel."
The once silent stadium was interrupted by man's ridicule of the enemy with everyone having a variety of expressions. The Elite Four had their eyes widened in shock as Satsuki twitched with Rei's frozen mouth agape.
Ragyo had the most interesting reaction being calm throughout the situation. She merely had this calm attitude as she grinned talking down to him in a casual tone, "Hmph. I see that prideful nature of yours wouldn't submit and be openly honest disregarding who you speak with – GAH!!"
*SHINNG*
She was then cut off by a blade piercing through her back coming out from between her breasts as she asked Satsuki in an annoyed tone, "What are you playing at, Satsuki?"
Satsuki revealing to be the one to backstab Ragyo in the back quite literally bitterly replied glaring at her mother, "The time for speeches is over, Director."
Using her strength, Satsuki impaled her mother further and threw her on the cross at the center of the stage, pinning her to it. As the blood shot out from her impaled mother, Satsuki stood up yelling in a determined tone, "As of this moment, I, Satsuki Kiryuin, along with Honnouji Academy, declare rebellion!"
*Tmp*
*Tmp*
Soon the sounds of footsteps were heard near Mash's position as he looked to see Ryuko and Mako appear as he spoke greeting them in a friendly tone, "Yo! Gear Eyes! Mako! Kinda missed the big reveal here!"
Ryuko sighed a breath of relief seeing Mash was relatively okay but soon her attention drifted to Nui with Satsuki in a confused tone, "Good to see ya pretty boy. But… it's that Nui chick. What the hell's she holdin' there…"
But soon Mako spoke out loud getting their attention as she said in a disappointed tone being overdramatic, "This is bad guys! There isn't a single booth set up anywhere!"
She slumps down with Ryuko grinning lightly informing Mako in a light-hearted tone then asking Mash bluntly, "Yeah, I know. Stay here. So… what's the stitch up there?"
Asking him Mash explained briefly as the two hurry along to where the fight is beginning in a neutral tone, "Crazy bitch wants to use humans as a snack for clothing and world domination. In one world the beginning of the end of the world apparently by clothing no less…"
Ryuko blinked raising an eyebrow as both rushed forward to the ongoing fight occurring in a blunt tone, "Tch. Talk about a bad Sci-Fi come to life. C'mon Senketsu! Mash! Let's get this over with already!"
No words needing to be said both teens rushed forward recklessly…

Rei seeing these sleeves grew into whips and tried to attack to free Ragyo. She was stopped by Gamagori, with his forces. Rei was soon restrained with tape by Disciplinary One-Star students.
Satsuki then ordered Inumuta to release the audience. A hail of white needles began to shoot into the cocooned audience, and soon the citizens were free as Ragyo said in an annoyed tone, "Impertinent high schoolers…"
Satsuko soon spoke as every One-Star student threw off their formal attire to reveal their new white and gold One-Star Goku Uniforms in a determined tone, "You would be best not to look down on us. Every student here is a soldier who has been trained to fight you, no, to fight Life Fibers! Behold the might of Honnouji Academy!"

Meanwhile, Ryuko was trying to process what the fuck just happened in a stunned tone, "She's gonna take down her mother?"
Mash listening could only nod his head with Senketsu saying in a confused tone of the situation, "So, this means she has been planning this for a long while now… this is certainly a surprising plot twist."
Soon one of the monitors opened showing Gamagori's face as he spoke in a serious tone informing the two, "Matoi. Bastion. Lady Satsuki planned to fight Life Fibers from the very beginning. But to trick Director Ragyo, she couldn't let even a shred of her true intentions show."
Hearing this Ryuko was stunned as she yelled replying to Gamagori on screen in an angry tone, "Then what the hell was with you guys fighting against me and him all about?!"
The monitor soon changed to Satsuki as she began to explain herself in a stoic tone observing everyone, "I do not need half-baked allies. If you can't beat my army, then you don't stand a snowball's chance in hell against Life Fibers. If you don't like my methods, then I will gladly take you on afterward. However, if you have the resolve to protect the freedom of man, then fight with every ounce of strength you have for now."
Ryuko was shocked by her words and more pissed off as Mash laughed knowing Satsuki's personality in a neutral tone, "Ha! Classic Eyebrows move."

Back to Ragyo and Satsuki above her wounds began to regenerate at an alarming rate as she spoke in a sardonic tone, "Hmm… your ambition is impressive. You have no qualms about literally stabbing your mother in the back?"
Satsuki could only sneer in disgust at her mother's already healing disgusted tone at Ragyo glaring intensely, "Of course not. I will use any means necessary to defeat a monster such as you! Even if it invites scorn as a conniving villain, I gladly welcome it!"
Ragyo's eyes hardened into a scornful glare and asked in a disappointed tone, "You call your mother a monster?"
Satsuki's eyes glared even harder as she affirmed her claims in a serious tone, "A woman who is unfazed by being stabbed through the heart should not be saying that. You monster that merged with Life Fibers and forsook her humanity!"
Recovering from her wounds Ragyo scoffs at her daughter's words in an amused tone of her ignorance wiping away the blood, "I am no monster, young lady. I'm a life form that is one step away from divinity. Tell me, when did you decide to turn against me?"
But to her surprise, Satsuki explained to Ragyo stunning her as she explained herself in a cold tone, "I did nothing of the sort. Ever since I grew old enough to make my own decisions, I've lived in anticipation of this day."
Ragyo spoke in a confused tone surprised by her daughter's words, "What did you say?"
Satsuki then proceeded to tell her origin story in a serious tone her eyes never leaving Ragyo's field of view, "I was five when I learned the truth. Father told me everything. About Life Fibers, COVERS, and you! Ragyo! He told me about your wicked goals. I was brought into this world only to be a test subject in Life Fiber experiments. When my experimentation failed you used my newborn sibling! And after even THAT failed, you tossed my sibling away as if they were garbage! That was when my father knew… to rebel against the Life Fibers and Ragyo Kiryuin."
Ragyo could barely hold her laughter wanting to correct her misguided daughter. But she reigned that enjoyment for later as she spoke in a disappointed tone, "At the end of the day, he was just a plebeian. The likes of Souichiro could never comprehend the truth of the universe… or the multiverse for that matter."
*Swooosh*
She chuckled inwardly at the thought as Satsuki's eyes hardened more than it happened. In that brief stare-down, she instantly vanished as if she had teleported.
This alarmed Satsuki and the Elite Four as she calmly moved behind them in a confident tone talking down to them, "You're worthless compared to me."
*SHIII*
*BOOOOM*
Instantly stands of Life Fibers sprang seemingly out of nowhere. Each of them touched the enemy exploding upon contact forcing them to split apart as Ragyo spoke in a confident tone, "As much as your little rebellion amuses me, I have better things to do than play with you. Nui if you would be so kind?"
All of them separated, and each of the Elite Four began to activate their Goku Uniforms with Satsuki being the farthest apart as Nui raised her arms in an excited tone, "Okay Lady Ragyo! You're all pretty much useless against her. But for me…? You're gonna come in real handy!"
*Shiii*
Nui's hands sparkled in a pink hue glow as red Life Fiber strings emerged. She raised her arms in the air like she didn't care. Each of the Life Fiber strings soon attacked the Elite Four heads when Ragyo made them scatter.
But when no one was looking Ragyo was in the center of the army of One-Star Students with a smile on her face, "Satsuki. I will help myself to your troops."
By extending her arms, Life Fibers flew all around the students and after a moment they each stopped struggling and gathered in formation with Ryuko's eyes widening in shock and a glint of horror in a stunned tone, "That bitch! She turned the students into her puppets!"
Ragyo merely grinned happily at the scene much to Satsuki's bitter frustration her eyes widened growling as she demanded to know in a serious tone, "You…!! What have you done!!!"
Ragyo hearing this explained confidently seemingly by her side startling Satsuki greatly distancing herself, "They have been mentally refitted. I sewed my [Mental Refitting] throughout their brains. Go forth, my puppets. I'll enjoy watching you struggle from up above my daughter of mine."
With her command, the army of One-Star students charged at the remaining fighters leaving Ryuko, Satsuki, and Mash. The Elite Four soon transformed into a battle Satsuki with Nui taking an observer position with popcorn enjoying the battle ahead talking down to her in a happy tone, "Tee-hee! I've never seen you freak out before Lady Satsuki! Were these kids really that important to you? But don't worry using my threads over their brains they'll be listening to me now! And now, they'll do what I tell 'em to! All rightie, my new little puppet soldiers… get Satsuki!"
*Swooosh*
The Elite Four transformed into their transformed state with Mash and Ryuko finally arrived to see Satsuki transform in a serious tone, "Life Fiber Override: Kamui Junketsu!"
Transformed ready for battle Ryuko soon asked Nui in an angry tone of the situation clenching her fist tightly, "What in the blue hell's going on, Nui?! What're you doin' with that Scissor Blade?!"
Nui showing the other half of the Scissor Blade only made Ryuko's blood boil as Mash silently cursed inside his head in a nervous tone, 'Aww shit… things are about to go to 0 to 100 fucking quick… again...'
Nui jumped back slightly brandishing a purple Scissor Blade and confessing to Ryuko in a mocking innocent tone, "Oh, this is the other half of your Scissors! I pulled it out of your dear, dead daddy!"
Ryuko paused at the news Mash sensing high hostility toward Ryuko's emotions in a worried tone thought, 'This… this is not going to be good.'
Ryuko clenched her fist tightly asking no rather demanding in a silent wrathful tone, "Wait… it was you?!"
Nui with an innocent expression pointed the Scissor Blade at Ryuko with no remorse on her face and spoke in a happy tone, "Yes, indeedie! It toooootally was! I'm the one who killed him!"
There was a small moment of silence when Ryuko heard her words… Mash looked at Ryuko concerned evident in his eyes. She had her eyes shadowed despite the ongoing chaos unfolding in the stadium by her hair.
*Cling*
*Thud*
She seemed calm, but he could tell the rapidly increasing emotion of rage building within her. The pressure was so strong that her glove's clip triggered her transformation without her moving yelling in pure fury at Nui, "YOU BIIIIIITCH!!!!"
All of the drama unfolds with Ragyo looking above as if as a god smirking at the puny human struggles with a delighted sardonic smile on her face standing above all watching the silent vibes to come once the noise of humanity finally dies first.
