"Today, we embark on the complete overhaul of the Student Council! If you participate you will have free reign to attack your peers. There are no restrictions on weapons or tactics!" Satsuki shouts. She stands atop her tower looking down on everyone. Skylar looks around herself to see that Daniel went off to a secluded area where none of the Elite 4 or his allies were, as did Alan, she stares intently towards Daniel "Those who survive will meet here in seven days! These survivors will then fight to claim their social standing! A fight for change! An election in the form of a battle royal!"

Daniel grins. "Perfect. A stage to show off and hopefully lure out time."

"Unlike traditional elections, you will not choose someone to represent you! You will represent yourselves!"

Daniel smirks as he throws small black magic circles onto the floor around him all of which multiplying underneath the feet of at least a few dozen students.

"Your status! Your strength! Your way of life! In seven days, at 8:30 A.M.,  the survivors who have assembled here will have a sudden death runoff! And if you emerge victorious. I will personally grant you a brand-new Goku uniform! Now, students of Honnouji Academy, fight!"

The black glyphs all grow bright orange blinding several students with a large explosion which gathers the attention of many of them. Ryuko looks over to it and in the center of the Daniel walks out not a single speck of dust on him. Meanwhile a scream rings out to her right, Alan has his pistols out and he leaps around shooting student after student though most assume he's killing the students like an average American school day the shots are at most knocking the students unconscious. The pair of Alan & Daniel work fast, racking up the defeats and knockouts of other students very quickly as the entire field breaks out into mayhem. They do this for several minutes until a bullet whizzes past the pair and a singular person stands in front of them.

"Finally, another guy with a gun! I didn't think I'd find another gunslinger anytime soon." The boy grins, his blonde hair flowing slightly, his blue eyes seemingly glowing as he keeps two revolvers at his waist.

"Well, I was honing my skills while in Kuoh." Daniel grins, not knowing who this newcomer is.

"Kuoh, huh? You friends with Rias?" He asks, causing the other three to all ready for battle. Daniel places a sword to the boys neck and he responds by summoning a pair of revolvers aiming them towards Alan & Daniel.

Responding quickly Alan raises his pistol towards him, who smirks at the pair as he goes to pull the triggers on the revolvers the hammers are blocked by two scalpels. Daniel taking advantage swings his sword knocking the gun from his hand. He responds be ducking a shot from Alan and kicking him in the gut before grabbing the revolver and firing towards Daniel who deflects the bullet with his sword.

"Woah, woah, woah! I simply asked a question, you raised your weapon first!"

"When'd you meet Rias?" Daniel asks, dodging a student and throwing them towards a group of others, with a glyph that explodes on contact.

"Look, I have the gun here, I ask the questions."

"Yeah? Your guns don't mean shit against me."

"Really, even though they're pointed directly at you. The Heavenly and demonic revolvers, hope and despair. If you think you can stand up to them, give it a shot."

Daniel keeps his sword ready. "Answer the question. When did you meet Rias?"

"What, you dating her in this reality or something?"

"This reality?" Daniel asks, starting to get a clearer picture.

"Yeah. This reality."

Alan sighs returning to the others. "What, you a dimension hopper or something?"

He nods, slightly, shooting a student who tries to rush him. "Yeah. Actually, I'm trying to get back to mine. This is the third reality I've ended up in. Usually, I'm only in these realities for a few days. But it seems like somethings up here."

Alan hums. "Yeah, something we're dealing with."

"And you are?"

"Alan Mankoi. Son of the acclaimed Dr. Mankoi."

The boy hums. "Can't say I'm familiar."

Daniel sighs. "So, why are you here?"

"Not sure. I just appeared here the other day."

Daniel shrugs. "Well, Stay out of our way, and things will be fine."

He nods, slowly. "Fine by me."

He lowers his revolvers, Alan then turns his pistol and fires point blank into the groin of a two star student while Daniel ducks under a punch while flipping a person over him and stomps on their head. The pair eventually stop and return to the their "borrowed" apartment awaiting the next day, and every once and a while defeating students who dared to try attack them. Daniel watches as he looks about the living areas and every once and a while a shot rings out and an entire section of students fly about.

"Well, this'll be an interesting week."

Skylar nods. "I agree. Though, I have no intentions of getting involved."

"Whether you do or don't, doesn't really matter. We're to test them. All three of them."

"Yes, they're quite the characters. Alex Flint, Ryuko Matoi, and the Relic of Time." Daniel looks at a book, crude sketches of the holder of Time, and Alex in place of official pictures and slight descriptions.

Alan sighs. "God, I wish Ame was here."

Daniel grins. "Why's that?"

"She was fun. Honestly, I haven't laughed as much in my life than when I was just chilling with her."

Daniel hums. "I wonder how all of them are doing. Crystia's still finishing her business in Kuoh, Chisaki, Lucy, and most of the others are assisting with problems there. Asagi's leading the war against Jackal & Style's Faction of the Chaos Brigade.

Alan hums. "Any word about the Hero Faction?"

"None yet. Nor any words regarding Vali's team."

Alan sighs. "Still can't believe you let Kuroka live." He mutters. "And what of the Council?" Alan asks.

"We still have a month or so before the meeting." Daniel responds.

"Well, as long as the seven days don't bore to me death, the election should be fun."

"You mean, the unforgivingly unoriginal named election?" Daniel scoffs.

"Natural Selection, Naturals Election. I like to think it was obvious."

"Hah! I doubt many caught on." Daniel jokes.

Seven Days Later

On the school grounds many of the students as the sound a heel clapping the ground alerts them. "Students of Honnouji Academy! For the past week, you've fought long and hard. However, your fight has only just begun! Welcome, to the sudden death runoff! Every Battle over the past week has been recorded, and now we know who the survivors are. Based on what happens today, I will determine who acquires Three-Star status."

Daniel sighs, speaking quietly to himself. "Still not as good as a Mona or Jean. Still hoping that my next go around gets me that Diluc." The ground begins to rumble as eight pillars rise out of the ground, and Daniel jumps up landing atop of one of the pillars.

"The eight pillars are your next challenge! Fight your way to the top and be a front runner in the election."

He quickly looks at the others atop the pillars.

Ira Gamagori
Uzu Sanageyama
Nonon Jakuzure
Hōka Inumuta
Ryuko Matoi
Alan Mankoi
Alex Flint
Daniel Star

"Well, this'll be fun." Daniel grins.

"Well, well, well. The elite four lives up to their name." Satsuki grins.

"Did you expect any different?" Jakuzure huffs.

Gamagori stands with his arms behind his back. "Lady Satsuki! We, the Elite Four would like to propose an additional rule for the sudden death runoffs!"

"Each If us has someone outside of the elite four, we wish to fight. But, we also all want a shot at facing Ryuko Matoi in a fight." Sanageyama stares at Daniel.

"We're gonna fight her anyway. We might as well do it here on this grand stage." Jakuzure adds.

"Bold of your loli ass to assume I'll lose that easily."

Jakuzure glares at Daniel. "What the fuck did you call me?!"

"A loli. Cause your short. And you have no tits." Daniel shrugs.

"You pervert!"

Alex turns to Daniel his eyebrow shooting int9 his hairline. "Were you-?"

Daniel breaks into laughter. "Ha, no! As if I'd ever stare at a woman and judge her purely based on her body."

Inumuta steps forward. "It would be an explosive finale to the academy's first election. Don't you think, m'lady?"

Satsuki chuckles. "It would at that."

The ground begins to rumble again as in between all of the pillars a ring forms.

Naturals Election
Polling Place

"A King of the hill final battle! Matoi, Star, Mankoi, you will battle the elite four. If you win, each of you will receive one reward. Matoi, I will tell you the details of your father's death."

"You're on!" Ryuko glares at Satsuki.

"I will be the first to face you in battle, Matoi!" Gamagōri leaps into the ring. "I am lady Satsuki's impenetrable shield. I challenge you, and I will crush you!"

Ryuko grins. "Good luck with that."

Daniel chuckles, kneeling on a single knee he readies to watch an entertaining fight. "This should be fun."

Alan nods. "I agree."

Alex sighs crossing his arms. "I was really looking forward to fightin ya, Star."

"Same here, Flint."

Each person stares someone from the other camp down, Ryuko Matoi, Alexander Flint, Alan Mankoi, and Daniel Star Vs. Ira Gamagori, Houka Inumuta, Nonon Jakuzure, Uzu Sanageyama, the battle's will be brutal.

"Not so fast. I don't remember anyone saying you had dibs on the new girl." Jakuzure yells at Gamagōri.

Sanageyama shouts. "I wanna be the first to fight Matoi."

"Aww, too scared to fight me again, monkey?" Daniel taunts.

"What was that?! Screw Matoi, I want him first!"

Daniel chuckles. "Well, I didn't know you swung that way, but give it some time, and I might be persuaded." He says knowing he won't cause of Tsubasa.

"What?! Damn it, Star! I want to fight you!" Sanageyama rages.

"Fight, fuck, same thing sometimes."

Inumuta scoffs. "You're such a fool."

Alex hums. "Gotta agree with the nerd over there."

Inumuta hums. "You misunderstood our request. We'd each like to have a go at defeating your Kamui. One-on-one, as it were."

Satsuki speaks. "I have already decided who fights when."

Alan nods. "Took you long enough. Has anyone bothered to notice the pillars, heights? The lowest two will fight first, then the next pair that are of equal heights, then the next, and the last."

Satsuki nods, glaring at Alan. "Correct. The more students you've defeated the higher your pillar. Therefor, Gamagori will face Matoi. Inumuta, and Alex Flint. Nonon Jakuzure, and Alan Mankoi. Sanageyama will face Daniel Star."

"Bullshit. I didn't defeat that many." Daniel scoffs.

"I beg to differ. That explosion at the start, certainly gave you an early lead, and you never did lose that lead."

Daniel scoffs. "Damn."

"So the one's with the low quota get to go first." Jakuzure states the obvious.

Daniel raises a hand. "Question!"

Satsuki looks at Daniel. "What."

"For those who win, is it that they move on to a second fight, later, or is it one fight and they're done?"

"Think of it as a sudden death tournament."

Ryuko glares at Gamagōri. "Come on! Whatcha waiting for?!"

"What's for the hurry. Our battle isn't supposed to begin until 1:00!"

Daniel recoils. "It's barely 8:30. Get it over with!"

"No, we will stick to the schedule! That's what we call discipline!"

"Sucks to your discipline!"

Alex turns to Daniel. "Lord of the Flies?"

"Finally, someone got it!" Daniel cheers.

Alex hums. "It's a good book."

Alan shrugs. "Meh. Of Mice and Men was better."

"You would say that." Daniel jokes.

With that Satsuki made her decision, at 1PM the fight between Ryuko & Gamagori would commence. And d very one was made to wait.

'Just wonderful.' Daniel thought.

They went through classes as usual, and during lunch, Alan, went off on his own to do something. Daniel had have no clue where Alex went, and it concerned him. Daniel would remain seated with Skylar, Ryuko, and Mako.

"Hey, you wanna have some tea?" Mako would ask.

Ryuko hums. "Thanks."

"Well, you're relaxed." Daniel says sitting next to her.

Ryuko glances over. "Relaxed? No, I'm excited."

"You get to fight the big guy first. If you win, you'll either fight, the nerd or Flint. Don't know which one would be worse."

"Speaking of, I've never seen him around before. Who is he?"

"Based off what I know, he's a dimension hopper. Likely he's trying to get back to his."

"Sounds familiar, huh." Ian says, himself now rising to the surface, able to speak with Daniel openly, outside the gear, like a voice in his head.

"Frankly, it's scary how similar he is to someone I know." Daniel says looking down.

"Hm? Someone you know?" Ryuko asks.

"You found yourself in another pickle, eh Matoi?" Aikuro Mikisugi says, the students look up to spot their teacher walking up to the group.

"Hm? Oh, hi Mr. Mikisugi. Are you gonna help me cheer Ryuko on to victory?!" Mako says cheerfully.

"Absolutely. After all, I am her home room teacher, more or less." He throws two needles, Daniel catches the one aimed for himself, and Skylar dodges the one aimed at her. He then hits a pressure point on Mako's forehead freezing her.

"Bastard! The hell'd you do to her?!" Ryuko shouts.

"Easy. I just hit a pressure point to knock her out." He says as he begins stripping.

"Don't strip, there are lady's here. Also, don't try to knock me out with needles. I won't be friendly again if it happens." Daniel warns.

Mikisugi hums, his gaze affixed to Daniel. "So, I see."

Ryuko glares. "Okay. What'd you want to talk about?"

"Drop out of the fight with the elite four, that goes for you and those other two boys as well." Mikisugi warns.

"Like hell I will."

"They're on a different level than the club presidents you've all fought. And if you all are crazy enough to fight them all, I have no idea what will happen to you and Senketsu, Ryuko."

Daniel chuckles. "Thanks for the warning, teach. But I need to fight. I'm looking for someone, and Satsuki, is the only one who knows he's here I'm hoping to use this battle as a way to find them."

Mikisugi stares at Daniel. "If my hunch is correct, you're looking for Jukan Yugamu. He's trying to stay under the radar, though, he's been harder to find since your group showed up."

"He holds something I'm after. Besides, I'm not looking to fight him, I simply wish to speak with him."

"Well, if Kiryuin falls he may be more willing to speak with you."

Daniel grins. "Then I gotta fight today."

Mikisugi sighs. "I guess so."

"If you don't know, then keep your opinions to yourself." Ryuko says annoyed.

"No, no, he has a point. But, if it interferes with her goals, then I'll be your ace in the hole. I can guarantee that all four members of the elite four will lose in their first fights."

"How can you be sure?"

"Because, Alan & I aren't that weak. And I can tell by a single glance, that Flint is powerful as well. Anyway, I'm off, you two, enjoy what ever this is. I'm gonna swing my swords around for a bit."

With that, time was killed. Daniel spent the remaining time before fighting commenced doing a mixture of studying, though something strange happened, as he was going over World War Two, suddenly people couldn't remember the Nazi's, or their atrocities. For Daniel, it was strange because, even the text books didn't even mention them. It mentioned World War Two, but it focused more on the pacific theater, not to mention the war with Italy.

'That's very concerning.' Daniel thought as he looked at the textbooks.

When the time came, everyone rose onto their pillars, each of them ready with their own gear. Ryuko, her Kamui & her blade, Alex Flint had his twin revolvers holstered to his hip, and a Winchester rifle on his back. Alan, had his usual pistols on his hip, however, he also now has a recorder, and a few other musical instruments.

"I mean, I knew he played dozens of instruments, but why bring them here? I'm thinking to deep into this." Daniel mutters, he brought his throwaways, as well as Caliburn sheathed on his hip.

Satsuki looks down on them all. "Begin." She says.

A horn blares, steps form from Ryuko & Gamagori's pillars towards the arena. After they enter, Ryuko transforms, and is followed by Gamagori in what I can only describe as a bdsm inspired outfit.

"Three Star Goku Uniform, Shackle Regalia!"

Daniel looks at him weirded out. "Jesus Christ, dude, are you that into BDSM?"

"I am not some filthy degenerate!" Gamagōri shouts.

"Sure looks like it from here buddy." Alan says.

"This Uniform is meant to show my resolve as lady Satsuki's shield. I will take any punishment to defend her."

Alex stares down, his eyes not impressed. "So your a masochist."he says bluntly.

"Still part of BDSM." Alan says.

"Your Uniform absorbs the power of whatever attacks you and turns it back on the attacker."

Daniel sighs, and looks up, at Satsuki. He hums as a breeze kicks in, her back is turned to them all, like a fool, when he turns back to the fighting, Gamagori is attacking himself to power up his uniform.

Alan sighs. "Definitely a Masochist."

"I'll keep slapping and whipping and beating myself until I climax!" All four of the opposition and Jakuzure all recoil in disgust. "This is my Higi Jijo-Jibaku!"

Ryuko's eyes widen. "What the hell?"

"Let me show you. Gamagōri transforms again. "Three Star Goku Uniform! Scourge Regalia!"

Daniel stares down concerned for both parties. "He went from Bondage & Masochist, to Sadist & Domination."

"Is that what BDSM stands for for you? I thought it was, Bondage & Discipline / Domination & Submission / Sadism & Masochism." Alan asks.

Daniel shrugs. "They're similar enough."

"You two are gonna start a flame war in the comments." Alex notes.

"Probably. Hi comments section." Daniel waves at you.

Alan sighs. "We should probably focus on the fight again."

They turn back to the fight to find Ryuko trapped inside a pair of gauntlets. "You set a bad example with your rebellious ways, and your friends are no different. Now accept your punishment. Scourge Regalia!"

"If beating you means finding out who killed my dad, then goddamnit I'm gonna beat you!" Ryuko shouts.

Alan smiles. "You got this, girl!"

Alex sighs. "Come on, this should've been over by now."

Daniel crouches down watching closely now, however he stays silent.

"You have no idea who you're dealing with. I am the Disciplinary Committee! I lead by example. That's why I bind and whip myself so mercilessly! It's how I inspire you troublemakers to change your ways and become productive students! It's how I bring order to the Chaos at Honnouji Academy! The Shackle Regalia is the embodiment of that ethos! If you refuse to conform to the rules, that's when I burn my compassion and bring out the whip! That is the scourge Regalia. And if that still doesn't convince you to fall in line, then you leave me with no choice."

Daniel sighs. "B,D,S,M. You are the walking definition of that acronym. Also, It's not that I'm not productive, dumbass, I just don't think of you as a threat."

Gamagori continues shouting still paying full attention to Ryuko. "I'll unleash the might if the Shackle Regalia upon you! I'm going to revoke your independent status and mold you into a proper student!"

Daniel recoils. "Dude, that's rape."

Alan turns to his friend. "Yo, you cant say the R word on this website."

"What, "rape?""

"You said it again!"

Daniel shrugs. "I mean, I get the context behind the word is bad, but it's just a word. It's liking not allowing someone to have friends because they said simp."

"Are you trying to get cancelled?" Alan slouches down.

"Canceled? What you mean by those twitter, keyboard warriors? Fuck em, I think they're idiots. Trying to get Genshin cancelled, because, they had a super fan portrayed in a negative light, as you should do, or how about trying to cancel Eminem for saying the same shit he normally does. Cancel culture is stupid and should end."

Alan falls backwards. "We're doomed."

All eyes are on the pair as opposed to what's happening in the arena which in fact is Ryuko being trapped underneath the hardened outer layer of Gamagori's uniform.when blades shoot out of him and Ryuko unveils a new form.

"Senketsu Senjin! You don't have enough energy to transform into scourge form do ya! Now! Your life fibers are totally exposed! Finishing move! Sen-I-Soshitsu!" Gamagori crashes to the floor causing the rest of the Elite four gasp at his loss.

Satsuki closes her eyes. "His resolve was clouded by his arrogance. What a shame."

Round 1 Victor
Ryuko Matoi

Gamagori rises up crying. "How pathetic. I can't live with this kind of disgrace!" He attempts to stab himself to commit seppuku, when a bullet is fired and the blade is knocked from his grasp and clasped by a piece of cloth held by Satsuki. She looks to the person who fired the bullet seeing Alex with a revolver drawn.

Gamagori looks up. "Lady Satsuki?"

Satsuki shakes her head. "Its too early to be kneeling in defeat. So wipe your tears." She walks away leaving Gamagori clouded in the mist. Alex shrugs as Ryuko returns to her podium and the stars descend from his and Inumuta's.

"See that Kiryuin! One down!" Ryuko grins.

"You are Correct. That means I'll be your opponent next, Matoi."

"Now, hold on there, bud, you still have to get through me. And forgive for this but, I ain't no bitch that goes down very easily. If you wish to grieve the defeat of your friend I can wait, but not long."

Inumuta hums. "So impatient. But I can relate. I hate wasting time, too."

Alex sheathes the revolver in his hand in a sheath wrapped around his chest when two revolvers appear in the holsters on his waist and he places his hands on them.

"I won't go easy. But..." He moves his hands away from the two pistols. "I won't go all out from the start."

Satsuki looks down on the pair. "Begin!"

Round 2
Alex Flint Vs. Houka Inumuta

Alex quickly draws the pistol from his chest and fires two shots at Inumuta who's forced to dodge. However when Inumuta goes to transform it's interrupted by a bullet, Alex continues to fire leaving three revolvers on the ground drawing new ones each time once the fourth revolver is out of ammo he tosses it off the stage hitting Gamagori with it. He then grabs the pair from his waist which forces Daniel and Alan to notice the Holy & Demonic energy leaking from the weapons as he fires and the bullets far faster than those of the other guns slam into Inumuta.

Inumuta raises his hands into the air. "I surrender!"

"Humph. Coward." Alex lowers his weapons.

"No, I'm not a coward, I just don't want to lose my precious data. I don't care at all about winning. What I want is data."

"Then leave. What a drag."

Alan sighs. "Well, I guess I'm next."

Round 2 Victor
Alex Flint

Satsuki glares. "Jakuzure. Prepare for battle." She orders.

"Well, I guess I'm up."

The stairs from his podium stretch out and he waves it off grabbing a small pill from his scarf he drops it into a bottle of water and it rapidly expands into a boomerang. Angling the damn thing he throws it so that it hits his tower cracking it. The tower starts to collapse towards the arena, he places a hand on a small devise attached to his waist before leaping off and rolling through. He then grabs another pill and bottle of water and drops the pill into the water, it expands and forms an electric guitar.

"From what I've seen of her outfits look, one could reasonably presume music's gonna be a major piece of the fight."

A whistle blows. "Entrance March! Under the double eagle!" Jakuzure marches down with a marching band with her at the helm. "Sorry for the wait, new boy. And just so you know, this won't be like those clumsy fights the others have had, prepare to destroyed cheerfully, jauntily, and utterly one-sidedly."

"I'm not the one who should be preparing for that. So, we want to start by playing music, or fighting? I can go either way with that."

She then using her uniform makes a large tank out of the band equipment. Meanwhile Alan rolls his eyes prepping his gear. "Three Star Goku Uniform! Symphony Regalia Grave!"

Alan grins. "Well then, that's unique."

Ryuko watches mouth agape. "How the hell is that a Uniform?!"

"That's a uniform?" Alex asks.

"Wait till you hear how it sounds. For my first piece, "The Light Cavalry Overture!""

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Alan grins. "Well, I guess it's time for the Rising Sun to shine."

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Jakuzure watches in shock and horror, as Alan's lone guitar is able to counter her uniforms regaling performance. "What?! How can that small thing overpowering my music?!"

"Ya like that? It may be small but the magical energy infused within it makes it one of the loudest amps in the world."

Jakuzure growls. "How dare you mock my music!" She then launches herself into the air seemingly upgrading her uniform. "Symphony Regalia Presto!"

Alan hums. "You fly now?"

Daniel grins. "She flies now." He states.

"For my next piece the "William Tell Overture" Finale!"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"I see. You're using classical theme songs that can be used in a band setting, Well this some unscripted violence."

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"Well? Ya like the Violent Idols?"

Jakuzure growls again, herself overflowing in anger."Overpower this asshole!" She then from the bottom of her "uniform" launches a rocket in the shape of a flute. He sighs tossing aside the guitar and dropping the amp.

"Burst Tartarus!" A red flame bursts from his hands which cause the whistle-missile to explode. "Wings of Icarus!" Two white wings made of feathers and wax form onto his back as with a single flap he launches into the air. "Now, taste this, Flash Freeze!" From his hand a burst of ice, sleet & snow fly downwards onto Jakuzure who is forced to shield from them.

"The sky is mine, goddamn it! So now the gloves are coming off. You stinking bastard!" Jakuzure roars.

"Bring it, bitch! Release Grade 1 Hurricane!" Above him the clouds twist and the wind kicks up tenfold rain drops down as Alan flies above everyone with a smile on his face as with movements of his arms lightning shoots down past him towards Jakuzure.

Meanwhile inside the city a boy runs around with grey hair, his eyes blue as he turns a corner to start running as he's jabbed by a woman wearing all pink with a parasol. He looks up at the woman and his eyes glow briefly and time seems to rewind a few seconds as he remains behind the corner and the woman keeps walking seemingly without noticing him. That is until she stands directly in front of him.

"What the devil?" He says falling backwards again.

"Your cheap tricks won't get me that easily- whoop." She moves to the side as a knife plants into the ground directly behind where her head was.  "You really shouldn't try to attack someone when you're dressed like that."

Skylar stands opposed to the young woman. "This outfit is the optional attire for my style of combat. But, I can tell you won't be an easy fight."

Juken glances between the two. "Look, I'm just trying to stay alive." He scrambles away running from the pair who stare each other down as the lady continues to walk ignoring Skylar as she follows after Juken. At the ring Jakuzure attempts to fire on Alan who dodged easily and rather elegantly.

"You think this changes anything?! Ha! I don't care if you can fly. You're still toast! You can't stop my performance!"

"Performance? I thought you were taking potshots. Well, might as well have some fun." He suddenly drops down and then with a single flap he launches towards Satsuki he then turns away avoiding Jakuzure before grabbing her suit and shoving a hand inside. "Flames of Avarice!"

Her suit then explodes launching the pair into the ground on the arena as Alan stands his wings of Icarus dropping one at a time as he draws his two pistols and aims towards Jakuzure.

"We want more!" The students surrounding chant.

"I guess it's time for an encore." Alan says.

Jakuzure: glares at him while slowly rising up. "Symphony Regalia Da Capo. For my Encore, I'm gonna go with one of the standards."

"Well then, I've got this last trick." Jakuzure says. He pops one last pill into a bottle of water and it grows into a DJ set up. He grabs a disk and places it down and messes with the equipment.

"How did he get all of that out of a pill and some water?" Ryuko asks.

"His father's a genius. I'm surprised it's taken him this long to get to that stage."

"Here's a little tune known by everyone all over the world. "Beethoven's Symphony No, 5, Fate"!"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"I see, I guess a song of storms would work best."

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

The two songs clash as Alan plays to his hearts content slowly embuing more and more magic, however as the song continues storms of ice, fire, and far worse gather overhead until he plays one final note and all them combine to crash into Jakuzure destroying her uniform. When her eyes open she's in a track suit and Alan is standing atop her podium. He cracks his neck as we see him on the large screen send a thumbs up over and it shows Ryuko as staring at the screen the lady from before.

"Ooh! That girls wearing a Kamui! That's so adorable!"

Alan then opens a palm and then using some of his magic repairs the ring to an extent. He sighs taking a seat and smiles.

Round 3 Victor
Alan Mankoi

Round 4
Daniel Star Vs. Uzu Sanageyama

"Finally, I get my turn." Sanageyama grins.

"I've been waiting for a rematch. Geyama."

Sanageyama glares. "Say the full name."

"Maybe it's be better if I called you monkey."

"Round Number 4 Begin!"

"Transform already. I want to beat you at your peak. I'll go all out too. Caliburn! And now, Black Star Armor!" Daniel says. Daniel closes his eyes as Caliburn appears in his hands and the black armor surrounds him covering everything except for his head.

"Three Star Goku Uniform! Blade Regalia Mark II!" The pair rush forward however jumps back after noticing the lady in all pink.

Ryuko looks on in shock. "What the hell?"

Sanageyama stops. "Who are you?"

"Star! Get out of there!" Alan shouts.

"Sanageyama! Get out of there!" Satsuki orders.

Daniel powers down after jumping back and away his armor disappointing however Caliburn remains drawn, while Alan jumps into the ring Ryuko next to him weapons drawn. Alex however stays on his pillar his revolvers summoned on his waist.

Satsuki glares at the woman. "What is the meaning of this. Nui Harime."

"This isn't fair, Lady Satsuki. Why didn't you tell me you were doing something this fun today?"

"I'm not obligated to tell you anything."

"Don't be like that. I thought you and I were way closer. Like two peas in a pod."

Satsuki shakes her head. "Who are you trying to fool here. You associate with no one."

"You're as breathtaking as ever! Your ice stare and icy skin are simply ravishing! My fingers will be tingling for the rest of the day!"

Sanageyama then attempts to challenge her only for her to beat him with a single fingernail.

"Well, If you want his spot. You still have to fight me. And I don't rely on silly fibers for my power." Daniel raises his sword.

Harime turns to Daniel grinning. "Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away you're coming right to me?"

Daniel steps forward. "I can't get the answers I want without getting closer."

"Oh ho! Then come as close as you like!" She then draws a scissor blade painted purple. Alan & Alex both look over to Ryuko seeing her boiling on the verge of attacking as Daniel raises Caliburn.

"You bitch!!!" Ryuko shouts.

"Oh, fuck." Daniel realizes the blade matches Ryuko's. Ryuko then transforms and clashes with Harime as Daniel shields his eyes briefly and Alan grabs him before jumping away to Daniel's pillar.

Alan scoffs. "The Grand Courtier's here?"

Daniel kneels down. "Who is she, Alan?"

"One of the strongest bitches at Revoccs."

"The clothing company?" Daniel asks.

"They're a part of them, but Revoccs is the HQ for the Kiryuin Conglomerate. The head of it, Satsuki's mother. Ragyo Kiryuin. She's been at the top of my dad's hit list for years."

Daniel nods. "So taking out this bitch is just bonus."

Alan shakes his head. "No, it'd be part of the job. Now, let's get this over with."

Daniel nods again. "Quite." The pair extend a single arm each their palms aimed at the arena as magic circles form in front of them.

Daniel uses his go to fire spell. "Blasted Dance!"
"Dragon Flame!"

The two magic attacks launch forward and slam into the ring as Alex quickly grabs Ryuko and pulls her back watching the flames rush for Harime who attempts to deflect them with her parasol, however after the flames die down her parasol is far more damaged that she might've expected.

Harime frowns. "Now this won't do at all."

"So then, when's my fight." Daniel grins.

Harime attempts to do the same thing she did to Sanageyama to Ryuko, but it doesn't go as she definitely thought it would. The pair then clash after hearing how Harime killed Ryuko's father.

"She left with half of the rending scissors, having no clue about Senketsu." Alan realizes.

Ryuko's eyes widen. "It was you? I saw someone running away, and that was you?!"

Harime nods, speaking in her normal happy, and jaunty tone. "Yes,  indeedy! But if I'd have known a cutie pie like you was coming, I would've stayed a little longer."

"Stop joking around!" Ryuko yells her anger only rising.

"I don't think you're strong enough to avenge your poor ol' father. Nope, nope, nope!"

Ryuko's anger flares, and with it, her killing intent, visible to all. "That fucking does it!" Senketsu explodes in blood and then chomps down on Ryuko leaving a disgusting monster in her place. The trio of boys jump into the arena as Alan and Alex stand shoulder to shoulder staring towards Ryuko. Daniel meanwhile, raises Caliburn towards Harime.

Monster Ryuko goes to attack when a bullet slams into her courtesy of Alex's revolvers. "Filthy monsters & dirty animals should leave the civilized sectors immediately. Eh."

Alan extends his arm to the side, in front of Alex. "We're not to kill her, only incapacitate. We need to bring her mood down. She mustn't die." Alan says.

"Yeah, I got it!"

Alan drops a pill into some water and from it grows a Naginata. "Cover me and make up for my short comings in close range." Alan rushes in to engage against Ryuko.

Daniel smirks as he stands across from Nui Harime. "So, how will we start this?

"Aww! Why do you have to ruin my fun?" She pouts.

"Ruin it? I'm going to show you real power."

He raises Caliburn and quickly dashes into attacking Harime she blocks the attack though with a visible recognition to his strength it does force her to take a step back. Spotting this Daniel presses the attack Harime now fighting defensively can only block against the flurry of slashes. He makes one stab to which she dodges just narrowly escaping the attack, however it puts her directly into the path of Satsuki Kiryuin with her Kamui now active. They slam into each other and crash to the floor. Daniel walks towards them twirling Caliburn in hand.

Daniel looks down to the pink clad girl. "So how do you want to die, pinky?"

Harime continues to pout, as she turns up to Daniel. "You're no fun!" She shouts.

"Oh, I'm plenty fun, I just don't think you're a threat. Now then bitch, show me what you love!" He says putting on a fake German accent.

Harime growls as her umbrella shivers and she dashes forward stabbing at him. He sighs dodging moving his head barely she tries to turn it to a slash at his neck but he ducks and then rises back up holding a penny in hand.

Daniel hums. "I guess I do have some luck." He flicks the penny into her good eye. He then backhands her sending her flying. He then raises a finger gun and fires a small beam at her which launches her away from Honnouji. "And don't return, bitch."

After launching her away he turns around to see Ryuko barreling through, Alan, Alex, and Satsuki, he raises a sword and palms the bottom of the hilt he points the edge of the blade on Ryuko, eyes hardening. He stabs forward ready to stab right through Ryuko. But he stops just before for a rather strange reason

Mako landing between the pair. "Ryuko!!! Stop it!" She tackles Ryuko down as Daniel lowers his blade but still keeps his stance defensively. Mako yells at her friend; crying. "Stop it, Ryuko. Come on! This isn't like you at all! Remember what you told me? How you wish you knew your dad better? And how you wanted to find out why he died? You can't find out if you're a rampaging Monster! All you're doing is wrecking the school, just like me when I wasn't thinking straight! Remember me and our stupid fight-club? Remember? When I was acting all horrible to you, you set me straight. So now I'm gonna set you straight! I'll get you back!" She repeats the final sentence four times while slapping Ryuko hitting her over and over again as Daniel stands there befuddled by the scene before him, Satsuki walks up to him.

"What... am I watching right now?.

"I don't fucking know. It's weird, it's wholesome, and it's for some reason funny." He grins.

Satsuki hums. "I'll concede the first two points."

Daniel chuckles. "You fuckin would."

"So, what do you think of Matoi's power?"

"She needs to learn to temper herself. Unbridled rage can only carry you so far until it becomes idiotic recklessness. Then again being to calculating will inevitably make one too cautious. She needs to find the right balance." He states, sheathing Caliburn.

Satsuki turns to the heterochromatic boy. "And what'll you do?"

"Well, from the sounds of it, the true big bad of this shit show is your mother. If you stand with her, then you'll be defeated too. Just a warning."

"A warning warranting concern, and caution no doubt."

"Only if you stand with her, Lady Satsuki. Even then, my current target is the relic of time." An alarm suddenly rings from a magic circle on Daniel's palm, the symbol being that of the Phenex clan. "I've gotta take this, Think you can handle everything here?"

Satsuki nods. "Of course."

He walks away from the scene as Ryuko slowly recovers and reverts to herself. Daniel, meanwhile sneaks away to the top of the wall overseeing the academy but still below the tower. He places his palm on the back of his hand then enlarges the magic circle and throws it onto the building to which Asagi appears standing there directly in front of him.

Daniel places his hands in his pockets. "Asagi."

"Hi, Star. Got some news for ya."

Daniel's grin fades to serious grimace. "Okay then."

"The Kael Brothers are dead. Died during the last battle. Einz is gifting you the relic of life. Not to mention his weapon. The Sword of the lake."

Daniel sighs. "Not only will I be taking the relic of life, but he wants for me to take a holy relic as well?"

"That was his final order to me. At the next council, they shall be given to you, you have a little under a month until then, the funeral is this weekend. "

"About that, might need to push it back."

"What date?"

"February 22, 2021."

Asagi nods and the magic circle returns to the back of Daniel's hand before dimming significantly and then vanishing. Daniel sighs grabbing from his pocket a box. He opens it and drops something into his hand.

"I haven't eaten something like you in years. Then again last time I ate chocolate was after we fought Jackal, huh." He pops the sweet into his mouth and recoils at the the taste before spitting it out. "Always hated the taste of chocolate, was hoping for caramel."
