"Matoi. Follow us. It's time you learn everything."

Alan walks away as Tomoko, Jack, Austin and CR4ZY get in the car even Mako jumps into the backseat leaving the front seat available for her.

"Quick question? What now?" Thomas asks from behind his father.

"Well, I've got one thing to say." He sits out the window of the car looking towards Mikisugi.

"Mikisugi! You did good. Matoi! Follow him. Or get in the car... I warn you, the only seat is on AJ's lap. And while he may be fine with it, I doubt his Kamui will. Aikuro, no more secrets."

Aikuro grins. "Its about time."

"So, car ride on AJ's lap or swimming with Aikuro."

Ryuko sits in the car as everyone jumps in and he presses a single button...

"What? That's it?"

"Not, by a long shot."

A contraption releases a bar with three switches on it; he flips the first two and twists the third before adjusting the gear before driving forward onto a ramp into the water. adjusting the shift once midair over the water as all the compartments close and the vehicle's tires are covered, the trunk opening revealing propellers that push the once car, now submarine, through the water following Aikuro, Mikisugi, and the rest of nudist beach. They follow until surfacing at an underground cave network. Once above the water he returns the switches to normal, pressing the same button to make them retreat and steps out.

"Hello there." Alan says causing many people covered only by combat straps? to stand at attention.

"General Mankoi." Many nudist beach men & women flock forward in full attention as he looks towards the blushing, hiding behind the unconscious AJ, Ryuko herself.

"I know it's embarrassing the first time, but you'll get used to it."

Ryuko stares at all the equipment and the hundreds, if not thousands of people. "How could they afford all this?"

"Well, your father and I are considered some of the best scientists in the world, still considered below Einstein however. Then again, I didn't teach the world how to make Nukes so, fair trade."

"Their money made our organization possible." Aikido says joining the group.

"Then-?!"

"Yes! Nudist Beach was created by your dads Dr. Alan Mankoi & Isshin Matoi!"

"Whaaaaat?!" Mako shouts.

"Wrong beach Mako..."

"How'd you know what was going on inside my head?" She asks Ryuko.

[Senketsu: You must be telepathic now, Ryuko.] "I'm not too thrilled about that."

"No wait! This is great! Now I've got a friend who's inside & outside my head!"

"Follow me, Aikuro, Tsumugi! Follow up."

Thomas sighs. "I'll deal with this idiot."

"Here let me help."

Thomas & Tomoko carry AJ towards a room in the facility where nine chairs are set up three of which are lawn chairs and the rest are swivel seats.

Mako smiles. "Dibs on a swivel!"

"I'll set AJ down on one of the lawn chairs."

Aikuro turns to the others with a big screen on the "chalk board" behind him. "Lets get started. Of all the creatures on earth, how many wear clothing?"

"That's easy, Just us humans."

"Correct. Out of all the species living on the planet, homo sapiens are the only ones that wear clothing. And why is that?"

"It's not because we evolved to wear clothes... in all honesty most evolved because they wore clothes, others just followed not wanting to be left behind... there are still purists out there... but those are the extremists...
Aikuro: The Homo Sapien was just another anthropoid species until life fibers came along. They helped us evolve. Humans didn't choose the clothes they wear. Instead, clothing chose us to wear it."

"Mann, warum ist hier alles so komisch?" Tomoko mutters, though Thomas hears her.

"Ich weiß nicht, warum spricht du deutsch?"

"Weil ich mich so fühle."

Ryuko tilts her head to the side trying to figure out what's going on. "People were chosen by clothes? Yeah, right. That doesn't make any sense."

"It makes perfect sense."

"Huh?"

"Your Kamui... we tried many different people's blood with it... but Senketsu was a fickle thing and only liked one person's blood..."

Ryuko starts to lean back slowly falling asleep.

"Pay attention! Life-Fibers are an alien life form. They came to earth long ago. They accelerated human evolution."

Hallelujah! "Huh?! So, then, Senketsu's an alien?! He's a sailor uniform and an alien?!" Mako asks moving around wildly.

[Senketsu: So that's what I am.]

[B.B.: We...that's what we are.]

"Either way, why get wrapped up in this?" Thomas asks Alan.

"Because Isshin and I realized they were a threat. That's why I studied the Star family and developed the elemental powers we have without drawing on supernatural magic."

Ryuko turns to him. "Supernatural as in...?"

"Have you ever read the Bible?"

"No?"

"Well, you've got a lot to learn about the real world. What you're fighting right now, is the tip of the iceberg."

Ryuko stutters at first. "Hold up, are you telling me that Angels. Devils and all that other shit are real?"

"Please hold all your questions until the end. I'm in the middle of explaining, so if you don't mind. Back to life fibers. They're parasites from outer space."

"Well isn't that obvious."

Everyone turns their attention to the now awake AJ who looks up at Aikuro Mikisugi his eyes half lidded as he looks as though he's trying to sleep.

"AJ!" Tomoko shouts happily.

"Ow... not so loud."

"Oh, sorry..."

"It's fine, just dial it back..."

"Okay."

"Get up, dipshit." Alan kicks the chair AJ's trying to sleep on, causing him to roll off landing face first on the floor.

"Who let dad back near me?" AJ asks still with his face on the floor.

"Satsuki." Thomas answers.

"Okay, I'm going to have a word with..." AJ raises himself seeing the strange environment. "Wait where are we?"

"I'm not explaining it again."

AJ sighs. "Don't bother, don't care."

"Back to what I was saying. They're parasites from outer space. When they infest a life dorm, they feed of the electrical currents of their hosts nervous system now, if they infest a life form internally, the host's nervous system can't take the strain, resulting in death, that's why they decided to cover the hosts body instead. The current, a life Fiber gets through the hosts skin is minute, but at least the host won't die from the trauma."

"Homo sapiens were chosen because at the time we had the most developed cerebrum at the time. Humans became their hosts and they accelerated human evolution... it's a mystery..."

"And, evolve we did. It evolved our primitive brains far beyond any other terrestrial creature. We kept reproducing and became the dominant species on the planet. But, not for long."

"You see, Life Fibers cultivated us for a reason..."

"So what you're saying is us humans are life Fiber bites?"

"No, more, we're their supplier."

"If that were true then how come the life fibers aren't in everyone's clothes. I mean people have worn clothes practically forever. But we're only finding out about this now?" Ryuko asks.

"You have a theory on that? The only conclusion we have right now is that they helped evolve humans then went dormant. However, before they did..."

AJ scoffs answering it. "They conditioned humans to wear clothes. Now that practically everyone wears it, yada yada, they wake, yada yada, when can we kill her?"

"Fair Enough... however they awoke nearly twenty years ago."

"Hold up. I'm seventeen. And you're saying they arose three years prior?"

"Yes." Alan answers.

"Then why'd you do nothing to stop them back then?"

"I didn't know about them twenty years ago. Twenty years ago I was preparing for your brother and taking care of your mother."

"Well, I've got news then. It had to have been twenty years ago that Ragyo Kiriyuin made contact with the primordial life Fiber."

"Exactly. That's what Dr. Mankoi told us and Dr. Alan."

"The damn things were waiting for harvest time, waiting for all their little cows to get big & fat."

[Senketsu: All this time, I've been waiting for you to mature...? Is that why I drink your blood.]

"Senketsu, Calm down. You were made differently... well, differently than Kanryō." [B.B.: Don't mention that name...]

"I'm sure I just blew Senketsu's mind, but I'm about to blow it even more, you all are our only hope."

""Hope?'" Ryuko asks.

"That's right."

"Kamui Senketsu, created by Dr. Matoi & Myself. To serve one purpose... fight life fibers... Kamui Kanryō, and Kamui Kanpeki were made to fight Kamui Senketsu, not work with. However... thanks to AJ & Thomas, the three most powerful Kamui's are working together."

"And the only ones who can wear them to their full potential are you three."

"I'm the only one...? But why me?"

"AJ & Thomas' working with the Kiryuin conglomerate for many years as well as their lightning skills which enhance the electric currents they can send into their Kamui's, pacifying their need to feed often is what I attribute to their tolerance. However you have an unusually high tolerance to life fibers, that's what gave Dr. Matoi the idea. So he made Senketsu for you in the hopes that... you'd destroy the Kiriyuins' plans. Originally Isshin, Myself, my sister and wife all worked for Ragyo Kiriyuin studying life fibers. That's how we all met. But when we found out about the threat they posed, we all left and started a secret organization to stop her. We called it Nudist Beach."

[Senketsu: I see so Dr. Matoi made me to... Yes, I remember now.]

"I'm sorry I kept you in the dark this long, but the Kiriyuins are powerful, as you all know. I couldn't tell you the full story until I was sure you all could control your powers."

"And if we ever lost our shits 'cause the life fibers, Mohawks job was to put us down without mercy."

"You got that right. And I still intend to."

AJ scoffs. "Good luck, fohawk." Thomas however laughs.

"Its alright, before today, I wouldn't have believed any of this stuff."

Alan sighs. "Again, the life fibers are the tip of the iceberg."

"What do you mean?" Ryuko asks

"You mean Star & Phoenix?" AJ speaks.

"Star & Phoenix?" She turns to AJ.

"I guess I have some explaining to do."

"Yeah?"

"I have some friends outside of this circle jerk."

Ryuko: deadpans. "I don't believe you."

"Very funny. One of them goes by the name Ian Star, Yes it's his real name, the other is Aiden Phoenix. Earlier, father mentioned Angels, Devils and all that stuff... that's because they are real. Aiden Is one of them. He's a high class devil."

"So he's a prick."

"Nah, not really. He's annoying at first but you get used to him. Then there's Ian, who can basically copy a sword and remake it exactly the same and store it in his own dimension."

CR4ZY chuckles. "Sounds like FGO to me."

"Still don't know half the things you say. Anyways, Ian is stationed at Kuoh. It's been a hotspot for these supernatural activities. Just recently Ian and Aiden's teams asked the four of us for help in keeping a dangerous artifact away from an alien."

"Okay, now we're going crazy again. How recently?"

"The day Fight Club ended."

"Is that why you guys were gone?"

"Yup."

"What was the name of this person you stopped?"

"Joel Grant. We fear there may be more coming but we plan to deal with Ragyo before we deal with that." Thomas answers.

"Okay, one last thing.., Jack, you've been rather quiet what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just, I was reminded of something. AJ, I'm going to have to take a few days away, I'll be back but, I need to check on something."

"Eons"

"Kind of."

"Go ahead, I won't stop you."

Thomas turns sudden,y. "Shouldn't, they'll be-?"

"That's why."

"Fair."

Aikuro snaps his fingers gathering everyone's attention. "Ryuko, I believe AJ's told you about this place before, but Ragyo Kiriyuin runs a clothing empire called REVOCS. Their clothes are found in almost every country, they've woven life fibers into every piece they make."

"Also, the safest place to be if Ragyo gets her way, will probably be Kuoh." AJ says offhandedly.

"Right now, they're dormant, but if they awaken... I can't even begin to imagine what'll happen. One thing is for certain. When they do, the end will be yearning for the remainder of the human race."

"You're joking?" AJ scoffs.

"Huh?" Ryuko turns to AJ.

"You want us to use our Kamui's to fight for *ahem* " Sake Of humanity," right? Well, you know what?! Fuck! That!"

Aikuro raises his hands defensively. "Take it easy."

"You think I spent my life trying to destroy REVOCS on a whim? And the fact that you want me to use B.B. as a weapon only disgust me. I want you to listen, Aikuro, they may be clothing, but they are sentient, they have their own lives, wants and wishes. You want them to kill their own kind? And you think humanity is the most advanced race. You're a joke."

"Right, there's-!"

AJ places a gun to Tsumugus head not looking away from Aikuro while speaking over him. "I couldn't care less about what you think, fohawk. You touch, B.B. and I will kill every Nudist Beach member in this facility. And I'll make you watch before I blow your brains out."

The pair stare each other down, as Tomoko stands behind AJ along with Thomas & Ryuko. CR4ZY & Alan stand behind Tsumugi as Mako and Aikuro watch from the sides.
