Chapter 23: Chasing The Sun

AJ stands next to Thomas and Tomoko as Jack looks out into the ocean, the entire group standing on the bridge of the ship, The Naked Sol, as Satsuki informs everyone on Ragyo's goal.

"Ragyo Kiriyuin's ultimate objective is to transfer the human race into hosts for the life fibers and cover the entire planet, turning it into a starseed cocoon sphere. Every product REVOCS makes has life fibers woven into them. The plan was to beam a signal to the clothes, awakening the life fibers. Humans would be converted into energy sources. And their clothing transformed into covers. Then, seven billion covers would rise into the stratosphere, enshrouding the planet."

AJ leans against the chair Ryuko is seated on. "So basically, make the earth wear a sweater."

"I knew she was trying to turn the human race into life fibers, but I had no idea the plan was so epic in scope. I doubt even Dr. Mankoi knew this much. Question is, why?" Mikisugi fullly reveals the extent of his knowledge.

"Life fibers are an organism that drifts through space. Once they reach a planet with intelligent life they cause it to evolve into a state more suitable as energy sources. The life fibers convert their hosts into clothes and cover the planet. Then, they use the planet as an energy source until it explodes. Scattering their seeds through space. There have been three discovered planets where this is the case. The world of Remnant. Home to a monstrous entity that destroyed the life fibers into poolside dark magic creating horrible creatures. And the world of Elements. A world of many nations but only five great nations where mankind fight in great wars for powers of nine great beasts that helped destroy life fibers on their planet."

AJ hums. "So that's how they continue to reproduce across the universe."

"Talk about sewing the seeds of destruction." Tomoko grins.

"Oh, put a sock in it." Jakuzure groans.

"Huh?"

"You don't hear anyone else blurting out lame-ass puns, do ya? I've had just about enough of yours and the monkey."

Tomoko pouts. "Hey, it wasn't that bad."

"Oh, get a room." Everyone glances to Inumuta who smiles slightly. "I'm sorry, I had to say it."

"What? Like you and Thomas?"

Gamagōri steps in between the others. "Knock off that infernal bickering! Lady Satsuki's present!"

Satsuki closes her eyes with a chuckle. "No, it's fine Gamagōri. I rather like listening to their squabbling. It makes me feel like I'm at home again."

"M'lady." The Elite Four all bow.

There's suddenly a beep as Thomas alerts the group. "Finally. We've hacked into the REVOCS satellites. Let's have a look at the primordial life fiber."

"Security's tight, but I can still control their cameras." Inumuta grins. The camera zooms in on the primordial as it shows a person on top of it. Everyone focus' on the person as AJ deduces who it is before the rest.

"Ragyo..."

Inumuta glares. "As expected, the primordial life fiber is headed for Honnouji Academy."

"Why's it going there?" Ryuko asks.

"Simple. By attaching the primordial life fiber to the academy's transmitter, Ragyo can send out the signal to transform humanity into life fibers." Satsuki states staring down a monitor.

AJ grins. "Then all we need to do is smash the transmitter, and end her plan."

"Yes." Satsuki sighs before turning to AJ specifically. "AJ?"

"Yeah?"

"Didn't you and Thomas speak about the supernatural? Do you think they could be of use to us?"

AJ sighs. "About that. The leaders of the three main factions, The Angels, Fallen Angels and Devils, are meeting with the Norse Gods tonight. Every Devil has been recalled to the underworld to prepare for their anti-terrorist meeting. Every Fallen and Angel that hasn't gone rogue is preparing for war against a group calling themselves the Khaos Brigade."

Satsuki nods. "So they will be of no help."

"Bingo. Ian Star, the man in the zeppelin just left a few hours ago into the underworld."

"What about Aiden?" Thomas asks.

AJ lowers his head, it falling into the crux of Ryuko's neck. "Don't know." He lifts his head. "He's been missing for the past month. Ever since Damiean died."

Thomas nods solemnly "I see..."

"Even then, Aiden would've been recalled as well."

"Though there is one small problem."

"What's that?" Jakuzure asks.

Inumuta clicks away at a keyboard. "The missiles that'll be slamming into us shortly!"

They turn, seeing the approaching life fiber missiles causing AJ to step forward and create an electric barrier around the ship destroying the fibers.

"Mr. Mikisugi, Thomas." Satsuki calls out.

"M-Mister?"

"I'd like you in command of this operation and Thomas, as the leader your own team with Tomoko and Jack.

"And our objective?"

Satsuki: To guard Ryuko, AJ, and myself in this battle. You four, Ryuko and I will stop Ragyo. I'll be busy with that. So I cannot command, as well."

"Good point." Mikisugi remarks.

"Elite four, are we clear on that?"

"M'lady!" The four bow to her.

"Okay. It's our job to destroy Honnouji academies transmitter. Satsuki squads job is to keep Ragyo off our backs and Thomas' team is to keep the primordial life fiber off everyone's back. Y'all know what to do? Good! Then let's get this show rolling!"

Ryuko sighs. "Captain bossy strikes again."

AJ chuckles. "I'll say."

"Are you ready to go?"

Ryuko nods. "Yeah."

AJ hops back and forth stretching. "Are you sure you're ready?"

"I have no choice."

Thomas nods. "Hurry and go get changed then."

The group all walk to the deck of the ship all dressed in Kamui's or are grabbing onto a person who can fly. Tomoko is holding onto AJ's arm as Jack decides to use some of the metal of the ship's hull to make a glider and has his hand on Thomas' back. The others all watch Ryuko as she struggles to call Satsuki her sister.

Satsuki chuckles at he sisters attempt at showing a their familial connection. "You don't have to acknowledge the bond between us. I can feel your blood flowing through Junketsu. I know what you mean."

Thomas stands to the side stretching. "Is everyone ready?"

AJ nods. "Yup."

Thomas snaps his fingers. "Okay. Let's go!"

Everyone does their transformations. Ready for combat. Everyone looks forward, seeing Ragyo approaching and more missiles. As Tomoko extends her arm.

"Bouncing Bolt!" A a blast of electricity is flung from her fingers bouncing off the missiles causing them to explode.

Ryuko nods. "Okay. Senketsu Shippu!"

"Junketsu Senpu!"

AJ glances down. "B.B?"

B.B. chuckles. "Yeah."

Thomas stares forward. 'Lets go, bloodlust."

The group blast into the sky as Tomoko holds onto AJ and Jack let's go of Thomas once they're high enough and begins gliding through the air morphing the metal to allow him to stay steady and as high as the rest of the group. They continue flying forward cutting through, blasting through or simply punching through, as many of the missiles as they can. They glance back at the ship seeing it being attacked until they spot Mako in her Fight Club Uniform.

"You wouldn't happen to have a spare for yourself?" AJ asks Tomko still attached to his arm.

Tomoko shakes her head. "Nope."

"Incoming dispatch from Inumuta." Thomas shouts.

"Clear to speak."

"I found out why Nui Harime's arms didn't regenerate. Both the scissor blade and Bakuzan can sever life fibers- ordinary life fibers. But some life fibers are tougher and can regenerate immediately, regardless if they've been cut through. Here's the thing, though, if you cut the life fibers from both sides simultaneously, it inhibits the life fibers from regenerating. Dr. Matoi knew this. And that's why he created the rending scissors."

Ryuko has a sudden moment of realization. "Hey, I just thought of something. If you've got two Bakuzans, then..."

Inumuta agrees. "They should work the same as the scissors. Maybe we should thank Ragyo for breaking it."

Satsuki scoffs. "Hardly, if anyone is to thank, its you elites."

"Is that why you very quickly had Jack make me a second Kukri knife?"

Inumuta remains silent for a moment. "Maybe."

Thomas sighs. "We'll discuss that later."

"AJ! Need a second blade?" Jack asks

"No. My Ragnarok should be a good diversion for the rest of you. It's like we're imitating gold."

"Imitation gold... has a nice ring to it." Ryuko mutters.

Satsuki smiles. "You forged it into two blades."

"M'lady, when did you become the type to dole out compliments?"

"AJ, up ahead."

"Yeah. I see it."

"I'm getting a powerful energy reading from the primordial life fibers core." Inumuta informs the team.

"Must be the power source."

Satsuki nods. "Where it's storing the humans it's captured. If we destroy that, we can stop it in its tracks."

Ryuko grins. "Sweet!"

"First things first, deal with Ragyo. Tomoko and I will join you two."

"No, we'll stay as one unit."

Ryuko rushes forward. "Ragyo! I'll show you what happens when you mess with my head!"

AJ spirals around Ryuko, their auras creating a Red & Blue spiral in the sky. "Your sins will be paid for!"

Ragyo however, simply scoffs. "Today's youth. That is not how seventeen year old children should speak to their elders."

She draws a blade and counters Ryuko's charge when she is able to avoid AJ who lands on the primordial and let's go of Tomoko who keeps a stream of electricity running through her feet. Satsuki, Thomas and Jack all attempt their own attacks when they're caught by her blades.

"These blades?"

"Yes, these blades are made of ultra-hardened life fibers. Your scissors and Bakuzan are based on the same thing. The beginning and the end of all things can be found here, within the primordial life Fiber." The entire group attempts to fight Ragyo as she blocks everyone perfectly. "If only, you'd give yourselves over to clothing."

"Not happening!" AJ shouts. "In fact..." He steps on the primordial life Fiber as he powers up his eyes glow blue and electricity starts bouncing rapidly from his body. He dashes forward engaging in combat with Ragyo on his own as he is able to slip through her defense and land a few solid strikes. When he notices the change of course of the primordial he looks behind himself to see it headed for the Naked Sol.

"Not happening!" Thomas, Jack and Tomoko all land in front of it as they all use their own elemental skills.

Thomas places his hands upwards. "Blazing Typhoon!"
Jack plants his hands in the ground. "Steel Walls!"
Tomoko raises her hands in the shape of guns towards the Primordial. "Air steam bursts!"

Their attacks force the primordial to stop when AJ joins the trio and places his hands together and all of the electricity in his body focuses on his hand. "Ragnarok! Electric Wave!" A quick pulse of his electricity forces the primordial to stop fully before being sent back a few miles. But it leaves AJ breathless. Thomas, Ryuko, Satsuki, and Jack all fight Ragyo as Tomoko attempts to restore AJ's stamina. He watches as Ryuko is cut in half he stares in silence as she crashes downwards.

"Ragyo!" He dashes forward as Ragyo attempts to stab through him as well as his electricity destroys her blades when Ryuko appears and inserts herself into the primordial along with Thomas he cuts through her arm and he goes to finish off Ragyo when he's grabbed.

"That's impossible. The primordial life Fiber destroyed?!" The Naked Sol the pierces clean through passing the pair.

"Bet your heads spinning big time now, huh, Ragyo? Well, get used to it." Ryuko taunts.

AJ kneels next to Ryuko out of breath. "That's... what you get when you cross us. It's What The Fuck all the way!"

Satsuki steps forward."The girl you mocked as a fraud has a message for you. Humanity does not live for clothing!"

Thomas stands in front of AJ. "And the brothers you hurt for so long have their own."

"Our pain does not equal to your gain!"

Ragyo glares at the teens. "We'll see about that..."

As they land there's a brief stop before a giant Nui appears and talks about them being the first act and about the ultimate act with the ultimate model. When an outfit comes out of the tower and the group looks forward. Many of them jump towards the school with Thomas, Jack, and Tomoko right behind them ready for the fight.

"For our friends, family, but most importantly, for ourselves!" AJ says from the back taking a deep breath.

"Yeah!" Everyone roars.

Thomas, Tomoko, and Jack lead a charge through the school grounds of Honnouji Academy. As the elite four attempt to break the tower before being blocked by a hammer as Satsuki and Ryuko battle with Ragyo and Nui. Moments later, AJ lands in front of them a bright light goes off as B.B. begins screaming in pain.

"Shinra Koketsu, Absolute Submission!" Ragyo shouts.

AJ growls. "Like hell, I'll submit to you!" He forcibly moves forward, electricity bouncing wildly off his skin.

"Shinra-Koketsu was designed to be the master of all life fibers. Those who rebel against it tremble in fear and are rendered powerless. This is absolute submission!" She snaps her fingers and a giant projector goes off and she begins monologuing, making AJ smirk as he continues his march forward. AJ looks back, seeing a liquid form of the primordial life Fiber. Nui attempts to block him but is herself blocked by Gamagori and Mako has her Hallelujah moment. AJ ignores all the action around him as he continues his march forward. He glances backwards, seeing Mako over the body of Gamagōri. He then takes off B.B. and runs forward fighting along with Ryuko when everyone is grabbed and he grabs Senketsu and throws him into Ragyo, saving everyone. As it shuts down absolute submission he opens his eyes smirking and jumps forward along with Ryuko as he and Ryuko grab one half of the blade running forward before cutting Ragyo in multiple places.

Ragyo screams in absolute pain and agony. "Impossible!"

Satsuki yells running to join them. "Your plans for the cocoon sphere have come undone, Ragyo."

Ragyo grins, on her last legs. "Have they, now? Nui! Sacrifice yourself."

Nui gasps happily. "Vraiment? Oui, mama!" She giggles maniacally as she cuts off her own head with a smile on her face making everyone gasp in shock and horror. When she's absorbed by the primordial and it begins growing into a giant sized Nui as it wraps around Ragyo and she launches into space making herself the satellite.

Ryuko shouts. "Hey, get back here!"

"I have Ragyo's objective. She's heading straight for the REVOCS communications satellite." Inumuta informs the others.

"She's gonna try to hook Koketsu up to the satellite and then send the absolute submission signal to the whole planet!"

Satsuki steps forward. "All is not lost. The signal cannot neutralize our Goku uniforms, so we can still launch a counter attack."

"Ryuko. Leave her to me." AJ steps forward.

"What?"

"This has been my fight for the past ten years. I didn't kill her when I had the chance years ago. I'll make her pay." Everyone turns to AJ with a mixture of distrust, Shock, horror and fear. "I'll go."

"AJ?"

"Don't worry, Tomoko. When I get back, we'll have dinner. My treat." Tomoko doesn't answer remaining silent with the others. "Besides, I won't be alone, B.B. will be there the whole time."

Ryuko scoffs stepping forward. "I'm still going with you."

"Ryuko, I already..."

Ryuko shuts him up with a slap as he holds his head in the direction of it he looks back seeing her determined face he folds shaking his head before he jumps up with B.B. transforming and the pair blasting off with Ryuko following with Ryuko chasing after him quickly gaining ground as he and Ryuko knock Ragyo away from the satellite.

"You're done Ragyo."

"Interesting. You made a quilt of all the available life fibers to come here with AJ. You're too late though. Look at your planet. The signal has reached every life Fiber on it. You can't stop humanity's conversion into fabric, you fool."

AJ sighs. "I didn't make it this far in life giving up that easy. I've got a promise to keep and to make sure my friend has a planet to return to." As Ryuko attempts to cut Ragyo in half she learns that her scissors are incapable of piercing her outfit.

"Aww... what's the matter. You know, the blades of your scissors are made of hardened life fibers. And when absolute submission is activated all life fibers become powerless against it."

Ryuko's eye's widen. "What?"

"You turned your grand blade against this cloth, the equal to any god! And for that... you must be punished!"

She attempts to attack the pair as Ryuko fights off the attack when AJ blitz pasts the attack and his left arm is covered in electricity it bounces from the rest of his body focusing in his hand as he pulls forward cutting through many of the life fibers when he's impaled from behind his eyes widen when it's extracted he tries to scream but when he tries he's unable to hear it he feels himself drifting closer to the earth.

"No..." he struggles, glaring at Ragyo's. "I'll see in you hell." He raises a finger and fires a single bolt of electricity and fires at Ragyo as he falls back to the planet losing his consciousness as he suddenly feels B.B. leaving Where upon re-entry he feels B.B. vanishing along with the ball on the back of his shirt he smiles.

"Good bye, aunt Irene."

As he falls he feels something grab him and he opens his eyes to find himself in the grip of Ryuko, Thomas and Jack. As they hold him.

"We missed ya..."

"Thanks." He stands relaxed.

Chapter End.

Post Credit Scene

AJ drives on a motorcycle with Tomoko the bike with him; he drives over a ledge, and lands flying through a small man made waterfall.

"Well you're back later than usual."

"Oh shut it, Star. You've been gone a month, and everyone's still figuring this out."

"Heh, of course, I guarantee you, we're gonna have to move out of Tokyo lest it be glassed off the fuckin' earth."

"Probably Ian, probably."
