One month later.
the covers were exploring the town in search of survivors.
mataro and guts were scavenging for food.
Mataro: hurry, guts!
Mataro and guts then ran away with the loot but unfortunately.
Mataro: gah! get out of my way, you stinking business suit!
mataro throws a tomato at it.
Mataro: how ya like that!?
*tap*
mataro steps in another cover.
Mataro: oh, crap! is this the end of the line for mataro mankanshoku!?
*slash* *slash*
*bling*
Nonon: turn into a rotten dust cloth!
Nonon cuts the two covers thread. and they fall to the floor.
Mataro: you're that elite four chick!
Nonon: oh, you're that slacker's—
more COVERS were coming to their way.
Nonon: the streets are crawling with these scraps of cloth….let's get out of here!
Mataro: then follow me!
mataro was in a sewage hole.
nonon quickly goes inside while she closes it.
….
Nonon: so you kids have survived on your own this past month, huh? you're that slacker's kid brother, all right. your ability to survive is the one impressive thing about you.
Mataro: the name's mataro!
Nonon: hmph, come on, my ride's waiting over there.
....
Northern kanto, susukigahara.
Uzu: run! run! hurry! just across this hill, there's a chopper waiting! damn, they caught up, huh? hold together….blade regalia MKIII
uzu deflects all the COVERS but….
*creak* *crash*
Uzu: damn, it's finally reached its limit?
*Crack*
Punk: boss! we'll hold 'em off here!
uzu: you guys…*cough*
Punk: the northern kanto gang leader alliance has some pride, too!
Uzu: understood. show those scrap cloth bastard what human beings will do when their back are against the wall!
Punk:okay, guys, cut loose!
4 punks are grabbed by covers but..
Punk: tear 'em a new one from the inside!
then they fight the covers from the inside.
Uzu: hurry! get aboard while they're keeping them busy!
.....
Uzu looks at the 4 covers that absorbed his subordinates.
Uzu: i'm sorry, guys….
....
Gamagori: i saw your northern kanto hooligans prove their resolve.
Uzu: this is a war of attrition. i know that it won't last long.
Gamagori: true.even so, we did manage to save a few lives.
gamagori hands a nudist beach gear to uzu.
Gamagori: their sacrifice wasn't in vain.
...…..
Osaka.
Nudist beach secret base.
Gamagori: show the people we rescued to the living quarters area!
Nonon: good work. looks like you guys had it rough, too.
Gamagori: is that mankanshoku's little brother?
Nonon: he said he and his friends had been living in the sewers under Honnou town. they're an impressive pack of rats.
Mataro: i said the name's mataro mankanshoku elite four chick!
Nonon: i'm nonon jakuzure. call me lady nonon, slacker junior!
Gamagori: if you want other to call you by name, address them properly first, jakuzure.
Nonon: i'm ever so sorry, *bleh* mr. disciplinary committee chair.
...…
Inumuta: northern kanto gang leader alliance has now fallen, too.
this means that all academies that were under Honnouji academy's control have all been destroyed by the covers.
Aikuro: which means that the bastions of the resistance of the life fibers prepared by satsuki-kun.
Inumuta: sanageyama also lost his goku uniform, which was the last we had left. all we have left now are jakuzure's bakuzan-gako and gamagori's bakuzan-Kouryu both reforged from lady satsuki's shattered bakuzan.
Tsumugu: and my tailor's glove and your dotonbori robo.
Aikuro: DTR.
Inumuta: whatever.
Aikuro: "DTR" got it?
Inumuta: i only hope that the item that iori is frantically working on is ready in time.
Aikuro: if they hadn't been destroyed by you people, we could have a better designs. if you were planning to rebel against ragyo, i think you could have at least considered the possibility of joining with nudist beach.
Inumuta: when many people know a secret, it's going to get out. even at Honnouji academy, the only people who were aware of her real intentions were we of the elite four, the sewing club's iori, and the butler, soroi.
Aikuro: well, considering that i never cough on that you guys knew that i was undercover as a teacher i can't really brag.
Tsumugu: but why isn't there any uproar among the media and the populace even though covers are attacking academies all over japan?
Aikuro: they're already being mentally influenced.
Inumuta: clothing made by ragyo kiryuin's REVOCS was already distributed among all the humans of the country. the life fibers woven into them are manipulating the minds of their wearers and devouring any unnecessary information from their brains.
Tsumugu: "they have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear" huh?
Aikuro: well, they do use human psychogalvanism as their energy source.
Inumuta: Honnouji academy's students have been building up a resistance to life fiber manipulation by wearing goku uniforms.
AIkuro: pretend to be obedient to ragyo, and use her money to create soldiers to defeat her…. that satsuki kiryuin girl is a real piece of work. what's even more impressive is mr. soroi here, who played dumb as he served satsuki as her butler.
Soroi: i merely made tea. as i do now.
soroi present them with cup of tea.
Soroi: however, i have not given up on making more tea for lady satsuki.
Inumuta: you're right, after all, even we elite four survived.
Tsumugu: what about the other one?
Ryuko: *inhale* *exhale*
Mako: ryuko….why won't you wake up, ryuko-chan?
Sukuyo: is okay mako i know you're best friend with her i am sure she will wake up soon.
Mako: mom!
Sukuyo: now, now…you're stronger than this, you have faith in ryuko.
*slide*
Aikuro: how is ryuko today?
Barazo: i can't tell one way or the other. but the wound from when her heart was pulled out is already healed. it's….how to put it? downright inhuman.
Mako: dad, ryuko-chan is not a monster!
Aikuro: calm down, mankanshoku-kun, we understand how scarred you were, when varakiel handed you over ryuko-kun, did he said something?
Mako: he *sniff* he gave me this *sob*
Mako hands over a note to aikuro.
Aikuro grabs it…..
Aikuro: "when the time comes i'll be there for all of you" *sigh* there he goes again with his weird analogies….
Barazo: well, when a patient wants to sleep, it's best to let them sleep. After all , she had a few nasty shocks.
Sukuyo: i still can't believe that ryuko's mother was ragyo kiryuin…
Aikuro: i hadn't heard anything about it from Dr. matoi, either. if i'd known sooner, maybe i could've done something to soften the blow.
Barazo: what's done is done. Sometimes things work out just by being alive.
Mataro: dad!
Guts: *woof*
Barazo: Oh! you're alive! you're a mankanshoku boy, all right!
Mako: mataro!
mako hugs mataro.
Mako: uaaaaaa i thought those ugly suits got you *sob* i am so happy!
Barazo: see, sometimes things do work out.
Aikuro: true.
Mataro: i'm sorry. i never found varakiel.
Gamagori: boy, you were searching for varakiel?
mataro: yeah. i though that if i stayed in Honnou town, i might be able to find clues to were varakiel have gone. but before i knew it, it was all i could do just to stay alive.
Sukuyo: i'm proud of you for trying, mataro.
Barazo: don't grieve just yet! that guy is surely doing some kind of special training, after all ryuko-chan is his favorite girl.
Aikuro: yeah, i agree, he won't abandon ryuko-kun without a reason.
