Chapter 186: Drifters Vs the World (4)

~Third POV~

[A few Minutes Later, The Great Culture and Sports Festival Stadium]

"… and that led us to here."

Everyone was stunned listening to Mash's tales thus far with Gamagori speaking a mouth agape, "N-no way…"

Mash had shown the leading force to the Thread Palace images of his memories using BB to show holographic photo images and videos with Nonon speaking in a stunned tone, "You did all of these?"

Satsuki slowly analyzed the images given in a disbelief tone but slowly trusted them being too real to ignore, "I had suspected you had hidden strength, but this… this is more than I could have imagined…"

Sanageyama soon spoke in a shocked tone realizing how outclassed he was compared to him gazing at his Kendo Sword, "Here I thought you were some kind of superhero although not exactly wrong… and to think I wanted to challenge you to a duel earlier…"

Gamagori slowly nods his head with a sweat drop losing his arrogant tone, "We all did…"

Mash scratched the back of his head nervously laughing lightly trying to ease the situation occurring, "Hahaha… to be fair this is the first time I've explained and shown my origins. But don't take it the wrong way though I've just experienced things differently than most would be able to handle."

Ryuko remained silent not asking much observing the two people that Mash mentioned to be important to him Emilia and Rem. Even seeing Rem's motivation and trust in him to challenge foes stronger than him and prevail while protecting those close to him.

She wasn't the only one with Satsuki soon speaking in a stoic tone with an unreadable expression on her face, "You've fought for quite a long time, haven't you? You fought all your battles alone, haven't you?"

Hearing this Mash paused before answering her question with a sheepish grin rubbing the back of his head in a tired tone, "Yep. Sure, there were a few times were someone helped me do certain things, but most of the time I was by myself."

Images of the Seven Deadly Sins, Mordred, Medea, Enkidu, Beatrice, and many others passed through his head helping him battle before him to this point. He only smiled fondly at those times.

Satsuki slowly nodded her head as she spoke in a calm tone apologizing for her time in the Academy giving him trouble, "That sounds quite lonely… if it is any consolation, I apologize for making your life so difficult at the academy."

Mash simply smirked looking at Satsuki making a light joke but took a moment to look outside quickly rephrasing himself in a sardonic tone, "Wow. The Great Satsuki Kiryuin actually apologized to someone. The world MUST be ending… Hmmm, maybe I should rephrase that…"

Satsuki let a small smirk show in an amused tone, "Don't let it go to your head."

However, the talks of discovery about him were over as Iori took the time to analyze in a serious tone returning to the topic of their goals, "Sorry to intrude but we finished our analysis. Some Life Fibers are so tough, that they can regenerate immediately, regardless of whether they've been cut through or not. But if you cut those Fibers from both sides simultaneously, they can't regenerate."

This perked Ryuko's attention as she muttered in a surprised tone from Iori and Inumuta's analysis, "Ohhh, so that's what happened with Nui's arms."

Iori nods his head holding up one of the Scissor Blade and Bakuzan in the air he explains in a serious tone, "Yes. And if you used the same method on Ragyo's [Mental Refitting], you should be able to free people from her control… or have a magic ring from a fucking god why don't you."

Mash smirked at that last remark about him holding his Gamer Ring with Satsuki asking Iori in a stoic tone, "Did you figure that out yourself?"

Soon Iori bowed to Satsuki in a respectful tone for stepping out of line, "Apologies, if I stepped out of line."

Satsuki soon shook her head congratulating him for the observation turning her attention to the duo that saved them bowing to them in a respectful tone, "No. You did well. As for you, Ryuko Matoi, Mash Bastion… You saved us all. Thank you."

Nonon soon spoke in a concerned tone bowing down to them expressing concern for her old friend, "Jeez, Satsuki. Don't bow down to the new girl! What'll people think?!"

Sanageyama soon spoke trying to make Satsuki in a good light much to Ryuko and Mash's twitching expressions in a boastful tone, "Yeah, and besides, Matoi here was saved 'cuz of you. She should be the one doin' the thanking."

Ryuko's face twitched as she spoke in an angry tone gripping her Scissor Blade tightly, "Oh, piss off! I'm the one who freed all you jerks! Mash here is my sidekick extra!"

Mash almost spit water out yelling at Ryuko in an angry tone offended being regarded as an extra, "Pfft….!! A sidekick! Your crazy Gear Eyes I'm the main character!"

Ryuko on the other hand argued back with a cheeky grin yelling in an irritated tone, "Oh yeah? Congrats you got demoted being my sidekick! You wanna fight about it you extra jerk!"

Both butted heads gritting their teeth as Gamagori spoke scolding his friends in a neutral tone, "Jakuzure, Sanageyama… we put Lady Satsuki in danger because our minds weren't strong enough to resist!"

Inumuta nodded his head agreeing with Ryuko's words in a neutral tone with his arms crossed, "He's got a point there. We almost attacked Lady Satsuki. Again."

But soon Satsuki spoke in her usual stoic tone returning to their reason for facing Ragyo with a sideway glance, "Now is not the time to feud with Matoi."

They nodded as Ryuko handed Satsuki her Bakuzan. Then she approached getting the other half of her Rending Scissors connecting them with a name appearing much to Mash's irritation.

[SNIPPITY-SNIPS]

Mash wanted to question why that name was but didn't have the energy to bother asking the meta names at this point. But soon Ryuko spoke in a serious tone, "I can take care of Nui."

Satsuki nodded as she said in a serious tone gripping her Bakuzan tightly, "Ragyo and Nui are heading for the Fiber Palace. That's where the Primordial Life Fiber is."

However, Ryuko's face shifted to confusion as she asked in a confused tone, "Wait… Prime-oatmeal?"

Mash stifled a small laugh getting a glare out of Ryuko as he corrected her, "Hahaha… It's called the Primordial Life Fiber Gear Eyes get up with the times."

She shot a fierce glare at him as Satsuki continued to explain to the both of them in a serious tone, "The Kamui and Goku Uniforms are infused with Life Fibers and those Fibers have a will. The Primordial Life Fiber is where they come from. They want to cover the planet in Life Fibers and use humankind as hosts. And Ragyo is helping them achieve that goal. I don't care whether you believe it, or not. My objective is to destroy Ragyo and the Primordial Life Fiber and I shall."

Ryuko frowns knowing what she means as she finally speaks in a serious tone dual wielding her Rending Scissors, "Whatever. Do what you gotta do. I'm here to get revenge for my dad and then Ragyo is next."

Satsuki nodded her head informing Ryuko about Nui in a serious tone and the dangers of facing her, "As you wish, but be careful. Nui Harime's body has been infused with Life Fibers. She's very dangerous."

Ryuko scoffed at this as she replied in a serious tone expressing a confident grin gripping her Rending Scissors, "Huh! Tell me something I don't know! I'm gonna kill that loli bitch!"

Satsuki nodded understanding this. Iori soon appeared holding Junketsu informing the group adjusting his glasses in a serious tone, "Lady Satsuki the modifications are complete. With Junketsu shots of the blood of Lady Satsuki's, Ryuko's, and a dash of Senketsu's Life Fibers."

Hearing this made Ryuko raise an eyebrow as Mash understood what Iori meant as he spoke in a neutral tone, "So you're trying to forcibly dye Junketsu in Eyebrow's colors using Senketsu's powers?"

Satsuki smiled understanding as she explained in a stoic tone dressing Junketsu removing her coat covering her, "Rather than force my arms through an outfit I can never truly wear, it'd be better to just tailor it to my needs. It's too late to care about appearances now."

Mash smirked crossing his arms together in an amused tone respecting the need to modify her Kamui, "The only thing on your mind is victory, huh? Looks like you've shed everything unnecessary. But you're not going at this alone. Both of you."

Addressing both they understood what he meant. Soon enough Ryuko left with Mako following behind as Mash spoke to Satsuki's group in a serious tone, "Welp seems like Gear Eyes is going in better join her in this Thread Palace. I hope you meet up with us soon guys and hopefully will party when this is all over for your guys family reunion! See ya later!"

Following them Gamagori asked in a confused tone, "You let them go?"

Satsuki soon replied to his answer with a small smile on her face in her usual stoic tone directed at the Elite Four, "They don't strike me as the type who listens to reason. That said, I'd like the four of you to go after her. Protect her, if necessary."

The Elite Four nodded in understanding as they discovered her long-lost little sister was alive heading straight towards danger Satsuki would send the best to help her. Gamagori understood this as he spoke in a curious tone, "While we're gone, what will you do, Lady Satsuki?"

Hearing his voice concerned she replied in a determined tone with a stern glare at her Elite Four, "I'll make sure all students are freed from the COVERS and once I've arranged for their rescue, I'll join you. But first… Iori, I have a favor to ask."

Hearing this he stepped forward to prepare anything for Lady Satsuki as she raised her Bakuzan handing it to him in a stoic tone, "Can you make two swords out of Bakuzan for me?"

Iori's eyes widened taking the sword but nodded his head in a serious tone gripping the Secret Sword Bakuzan, "What? I could, but it'll take some time consider this done in a few minutes."

Satsuki nods her head addressing her allies to go toward battle while she acts taking down the Covers in a determined tone, "All right. We all know what to do now. Let's end this nightmare once and for all! [Junketsu Zankan]!"

Transforming and gaining Senketsu's abilities Satsuki's form took on the usual Junketsu form but with blades all around her body with a sly grin across her face, "I'm gonna enjoy ruining my Mother's Day. [Junketsu Senpu Zankan]!"

Changing into thrusters Satsuki rushed ahead to deal with the COVERS seeing some in the distance brandishing her claws from her Kamui in a serious tone, "It's about time someone cuts your plans Ragyo!"

*SWOOOOSH*

Flying across the air Satsuki intends to finally end the nightmare once and for all…
