Way outside the bounds of Honnouji Academy, a single person awoke. Scratching his head, he got up and took stock of his surroundings.
"The bloody hell am I now? And what the hell is that?" he asked himself before looking around. After a few seconds his brain finally caught up with him, recognising the massive building at the top. "Oh no."
The boy sat down on one end of the bridge, grumbling to himself for a while, trying to make sense of everything.
"Okay, what the hell am I doing in the Kill la Kill universe? More importantly, what the hell am I going to do now that I am here?"
The figure stood up and dusted off his clothes, a white t-shirt, a pair of black cargo pants, his black and yellow tartan scarf and a black polyester vest. Resting not too far from where he woke up was a neatly folded school uniform, a brown leather case and a pile of schoolbooks topped by a pencil case and an envelope bearing the insignia of Honnouji Academy.
"What's this?" he asked, opening the envelope.
'You have been selected to become one of Lady Satsuki Kiriuin's loyal followers. Classes start at 8:00AM at Honnouji Academy. Your homeroom is Class G. Lateness will result in death.'
"D-death?" he gulped as he looked at the letter. Checking his watch, he saw that it was only 7:23 AM. "Well, I'd best get moving. I just hope I'm at a part of the timeline where I can get in unnoticed. I'd also better put on that new uniform."
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
As he began climbing the many, many, MANY steps up to the very top of the fabricated mountain to reach Honnouji Academy, the boy started seeing small figures darting in and out of alleys.
'Right. I'm in the slums at the moment aren't I?' he thought to himself. 'If that's true, then I guess I'll be pickpocketed any mi-'
The boy was suddenly distracted as something barrelled forcefully into his back, sending him stumbling as a small child ran by.
"Sorry mister!" he called behind him, but his target was already sprinting towards him.
"Get back here you little pile of crap!" he roared before catching up to the tiny cutpurse and delivering a solid kick to his head.
"Ow! What was that for you asshole?!" he shouted back as the much taller boy picked his wallet back up off the ground.
"For trying to steal this you little… Oh." He said before spotting the group of well armed children behind him. The pickpocket gained a vicious grin before pointing at the taller boy.
"Okay scarf man, hand over everything you've got or we'll tear you to shreds!" he shouted.
"My name is Lewis." The taller boy spat before the roar of the chainsaw rattled his teeth. He would need to think of something and fast. He wasn't nearly well armed enough to take on this many people, no matter their age. Summoning a large burst of air, Lewis started shouting as loud as he possibly could. "What a disgrace! A child turned to mugging people and skipping school?! Truly you are a disgrace to the Mankanshoku name!"
The boy looked extremely startled for a moment at Lewis sudden outburst, but then he realised what he'd said.
"MATAROOOOOO!" could have been heard from anywhere in the ghetto area as the kid looked around franticly.
"Uh oh, that's Mom! Crap, you've gotten me in trouble!" he panicked before growling. "Listen you, I'm gonna-"
But Lewis was already long gone, sprinting towards yet more stairs up to Honnouji Academy.
"Freakin'… Children… Chainsaws… Never again!" Lewis panted as he climbed the ever-steeper flights of stairs, eventually feeling safe enough to slow down and catch a breather. "Okay. I wonder what I should do here."
Lewis knew the Kill la Kill storyline quite well, and he definitely didn't want to go meddling in the intricately crafted plot by Satsuki. Even mentioning any detail of the plan to quite literally anyone would spell disaster for him, and quite possibly Satsuki's plan as well.
"So do I join her ranks? Nah, that'd make me an enemy of Ryuko, and I definitely don't want that. So do I join her?" he thought aloud as he walked, deep in thought. "Actually no, I don't want to get interrogated if I accidentally let something slip. So what about… no, if they knew I knew about them they'd immediately get suspicious, do a background check and find literally nothing. They'd be the ones doing the interrogation. Not to mention I'm a fan of wearing pants."
Lewis continued walking up the stairs for the longest of time, thinking about what he would do.
"Okay, it looks like the pros outweigh the cons here. Looks like I'll be playing dumb as one of Satsuki's goons then." He sighed. "I just hope she doesn't try to get me to fight Ryuko, that'd be the end of me for sure."
As Lewis climbed the stairs, he arrived at the top. The gargantuan gateway of Honnouji Academy yawned before him, a maw of oppression and fear brought about by the iron reign of one Class-A Crazy Bitch. Steeling himself, Lewis took a breath and stepped through the blinding light and into the giant courtyard.
Only to find that a fight had just ended.
Ira Gamagori stood at one end of the courtyard ordering around a group of One Stars, thankfully facing away from Lewis.
'Oh crap. Oh crapohcrapohcrap.' Lewis panicked. 'Okay, I just have to move around him and just go into the academy. I mean, I can pass for a normal student here. I'm totally not a spy anyway, I've got nobody to report to. Easy does it, nice and slow…'
However, things didn't go as smoothly as Lewis had hoped. Gamagori turned around, trademark fire in his eyes. Lewis squeaked a little before looking behind him, finding himself surrounded by One Star Students!
"Uh oh…" he gulped as Gamagori strode over.
"Who are you?!" he bellowed, soon towering above Lewis. "Are you an accomplice of that maggot who stole a Goku Uniform?!"
'Is that where I am at the timeline? The very start? Oh jeez, this is gonna be a rough ride…' Lewis thought. "N-no! Of course not, I only just got here!"
"So you're late!" he assumed, picking Lewis up by the collar with his giant hands. "Do you know what we do to tardy people around here?!"
"I'm not late, I was never a part of this academy before today!" Lewis desperately shouted, waving the paper he'd gotten from the envelope.
Gamagori dropped Lewis to the ground, closely studying the document.
'God, I thought this guy was intimidating in the anime!' Lewis gulped, seeing how Gamagoori's giant frame seemed to block out the sun. 'Just how tall is this bastard?'
"Everything seems to be in order." Gamagori frowned at Lewis and snorted. "We shall be keeping an eye on you."
With that, Gamagori turned and left, his small army of One Stars going with him. Lewis stood up and brushed himself off before looking up to the platform high above Honnouji Academy.
"Well that could have gone better." Lewis shrugged as he walked towards the academy proper.
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
In his classes, Lewis found that it was alarmingly similar to his normal school. He'd do the work true enough, but eventually he got side-tracked with a personal project. Currently he was trying to think of a way to survive the academy. And Satsuki.
'Okay, lemme weigh my options a bit more. I shouldn't join up with Ryuko since that'll mess with the timeline. Joining a club will probably get my ass beaten into the ground by Ryuko, and that's something I don't want. So no Goku Uniform for me. But how the hell am I going to protect myself? Even if I stay out of Satsuki's way, there's still going to be people who want to pick a fight with me. Hmmm…'
Lewis was eventually disturbed from his thoughts by somebody thumping their hands down on his desk. That somebody appeared to be one of the identical One Stars, but he had a cocky grin on his face.
"You're the newest transfer student huh? You don't look much to me." He snorted.
"Good for you." Lewis said as he rolled his eyes, leaning back in his chair.
"Are you disrespecting me punk? I may be only a One Star but I'm leagues above you, worm!" he shouted, slamming his hands on the desk again.
"Do I look like I care about your petty ranking? Even if you were the greatest fighter in the universe, I'm still not going to care." Lewis frowned.
"Are you saying that you don't respect Lady Satsuki?" he said loudly.
"Now there you go putting words in my mouth." Lewis growled, standing up. "I have a feeling you're picking a fight just to get me into trouble aren't you?"
"And what if I am?" the One Star asked, cracking his knuckles.
'Wait, am I about to get into a fight?' Lewis thought. 'Okay, lemme weigh the statistics. I have little experience in actually fighting, very little physical strength, no Goku Uniform to speak of and no weapon. Getting into a fight is a bad idea right now.'
"So? What are you going to do?" the One Star asked.
Lewis sighed and sat back down. "You know what? Forget it. Fighting you is pointless and will only serve to get me in trouble."
"Looks like you didn't read the rulebook you coward." The One Star smirked, holding up his own copy. "Those students who are too weak to fight do not deserve to live! That is one of Honnouji Academy's ironclad rules!"
"Weak?" Lewis asked, a vein starting to pronounce itself in his forehead as he stood up again. "True enough I'm not the strongest, but by no means am I weak."
The One Star grinned and cracked his knuckles again. "Let's see you prove it then!"
Lewis stood up and pushed his desk away. "You first."
The One Star lunged for a punch and Lewis barely made it out of the way of the surprisingly quick strike. Lewis retaliated with a punch but the other student made a lightning fast dodge out of the way.
"You're far too slow to hit me! You may as well leave now!" the One Star crowed.
Lewis grasped the One Star by his collar and elbowed him in the jaw, sending him stumbling backwards over an overturned desk. The student got back up and wiped his jaw with his sleeve.
"Lucky hit newbie. You'll not get me a second time!" he roared, charging at Lewis.
Lewis tried to sidestep him, but was caught in a tackle as he and the other student toppled to the ground. The One Star tried to punch Lewis while he was down, but Lewis raised his arms to protect himself in a boxing guard to protect himself.
"You're not good enough! You'll neve-" the One Star said before being cut off by Lewis' swift jab to the throat.
Coughing and spluttering, the One Star got off Lewis and he jumped back to his feet.
"Trash talking is for those who aren't confident in their own abilities." Lewis said, dusting himself off. "If you really want to fight, shut up. You're only serving to annoy me."
The One Star glowered as he launched back into another attack, significantly faster. Lewis was able to deflect a few blows, but a few snuck through his guard and landed, winding and bruising him. As the One Star wound up for a hugely telegraphed attack, Lewis slammed an open palm into his jaw, dazing him and knocking him into the air. Lewis jumped up after him and landed a downward punch right in the throat, sending the One Star crashing into the ground. The One Star lay on his belly, coughing and spluttering as Lewis pinned him to the ground with his foot, digging his heel between the One Star's shoulder blades.
"Do you give up?" Lewis asked.
The One Star struggled and tried to grab Lewis, but he was unable to reach.
"Do you?" Lewis asked again, digging his heel deeper.
The One Star shouted in pain and thumped his fist on the floor. "I give! I give! Uncle, uncle!"
Lewis lifted his foot from the back of the One Star before kicking him in the back of the head.
"Either you're really stupid or you think I am." Lewis snorted. "I doubt Satsuki would be too happy with you if you surrendered to a lowly Zero Star."
With that, Lewis returned to his seat and sighed.
"I really hope this won't come back to bite me." Lewis groaned. "If I can only just match up to a single one of Satsuki's Cannon Fodder, I don't think I'm going to make it to the end alive."
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
Inumuta sat with his laptop, going over the fight data from the One Star's confrontation with Lewis.
"So, is he any trouble?" Gamagori asked.
"From what I can see in this recording, I don't believe so. While it is true he won, it was only through attacking extremely vulnerable areas repeatedly." Inumuta said.
"Even so, he's good enough to take out a One Star by himself." Sanageyama said, feet planted on a table. "He could very well be a spy."
"Judging from how he fights it's obvious he hasn't been formally trained." Inumuta said, shifting his glasses.
"Do we have anything else on him?" Gamagori asked.
"I've searched every database I could get my hands on, and not once was his name in any single one of them." Inumuta reported. "No birth certificate, no citizenships, no identification of any kind. Sanageyama is right, he may very well be a spy with this kind of ambiguity."
Satsuki's eyes narrowed in thought. There was only one other person that Inumuta had zero information on, and she didn't like her one bit.
"What should we do, Lady Satsuki?" Gamagori asked.
Satsuki closed her eyes in thought before speaking. "That worthless One Star he defeated does not deserve his uniform. Give it to our new transfer student and monitor his activity."
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
The next day, Lewis was walking towards his next class when he was stopped by a wall of One Stars.
"Ah hell. This is about yesterday isn't it?" Lewis asked, dropping his schoolbag and getting ready for a fight.
"As a matter of fact, it is." Said another voice as the One Stars parted, revealing Shiro Iori, the Sewing Club Captain. "Lady Satsuki has witnessed your combat skills against one of your peers and wishes to reward you."
Lewis raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
"Yes, quite graciously in fact." Shiro said, snapping his fingers as a One Star to his side presented Lewis with an unmarked white box. "You have been given a One Star Goku Uniform, and as such your standard of living has also increased. Wear it with pride."
And with that, the other students left, leaving Lewis standing there with the box. Looking inside, he saw that it was indeed a One Star Goku Uniform. Lewis looked up to where he thought Satsuki might be and narrowed his eyes.
"What's she up to?" he muttered before getting his mind on track. "Argh! I need to think about this later, right now I need to get to class!"
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
Lewis was sitting in the giant empty courtyard, sadly without any lunch. However he had more than hunger on his mind as he looked at the box containing his new Goku Uniform. Getting bored with staring at a white box for seemingly forever, he looked up to see what the other students around were doing. Most were just talking in their own little groups, but there were a few One Stars who were stonily surveying the area like security cameras. However there was also an impossible to miss pair walking through the throng, a slightly irritated looking girl with black hair and a red highlight accompanied by a completely oblivious and bubbly girl with more unrestrained energy than a nuclear reactor in meltdown.
'No way, Ryuko and Mako in the flesh.' Lewis thought. 'Hang on, this is just about the part where-'
Suddenly, almost everyone in the courtyard formed a straight corridor, bowing as they did.
'Oh, this is just fantastic.' Lewis thought, taking cover behind a building. 'Good thing I stayed out of range. That boxing guy's attacks aren't anything to be sneezed at.'
From his hiding spot, Lewis could see Ryuko stand in Satsuki's way, getting totally decimated by that Boxing Club President and her quick flight from the area.
'Damn. That looked way more brutal in real life.' Lewis thought, shrinking away from the wall. "Good thing nobody saw me here. I don't need Gamagori breathing down my neck for not bowing to Satsuki like the rest of these guys."
However Lewis was being watched as he fled the scene, high above from behind a classroom window.
"Hmmm… I wonder what he's up to." The wheezy teacher muttered.
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
Lewis sat in his new condo in the One Star district, staring down his new Goku Uniform. He didn't like it. He didn't trust it. Satsuki wouldn't give him a Goku Uniform just like that.
"Maybe that One Star the other day was a test." Lewis thought to himself. "If so, then I guess I passed. But why test me? I wonder if she's onto me…"
Lewis contemplated for another while before sighing.
"I guess I'll just have to play along and wait for things to happen. The gears are already in motion, and I don't want to break them." Lewis said before looking at the clock on the wall and remembering something. "Oh crap, I almost forgot!"
Grabbing his Goku Uniform coat and quickly putting it on over his t-shirt, he ran for the door.
"I don't want to miss this next fight!" he grinned.
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
Inumuta was puzzled. From what the bugs and probes planted in Lewis' condo were telling him, Lewis knew exactly that a fight was going to happen even though he received no word on what that fool Takaharu was going to, that being luring Ryuko out for a rematch.
"How did he know this?" he thought aloud, going over some other data he'd uncovered.
Another thing that puzzled Inumuta was that Lewis' clothes that weren't his uniforms were completely devoid of Life Fibres. Not only that, but the brands they carried didn't match any companies currently on the market under the influence of REVOCS or any of its subsidiaries.
"How very strange." Inumuta said. "Just what are you, transfer student?"
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
Lewis arrived at the boxing ring early. Takaharu had just taken out that boiler thing that he was going to use to deep-fry Mako for some inexplicable reason, and plenty of people in the crowd were waiting for something to happen. Lewis knew better than all of them and began to climb up into a nook in the stone gate to Honnouji Academy to get a better look.
"Man, wish I brought some binoculars." Lewis said to himself, peering into the distance. "Some popcorn wouldn't go amiss either."
Lewis waited for a while, watching the crowd pulse and wave. Sanageyama stood with the Boxing Club Captain in the centre of the ring and they talked. Lewis couldn't exactly hear what they were saying, but he definitely knew what they were talking about.
Sanageyama looked around, trying to see if that transfer student girl was around somewhere. However he did spot that other transfer student sitting in the entrance to Honnouji Academy, waiting expectantly.
'I wonder what he's up to.' Sanageyama thought, leaving the boxing ring.
Back up in his perch, Lewis saw the green haired swordsman leave the ring. As soon as he did, a mysterious cloaked figure leapt out from the crowd.
"And here we go." Lewis grinned, leaning forward as the fight begun.
As Ryuko started to kick some major ass, Lewis watched on in interest. Seeing how many people in the crowd were being flung away by wayward punches and attacks, Lewis let out a small chuckle.
"Boy am I glad I stayed up here." He said.
"Yeah, it is a good view from up here isn't it?" Sanageyama asked, standing next to Lewis.
Lewis flinched violently at the sudden appearance of one of the Elite Four. 'How the hell did he get up here?' Lewis thought. "Oh man, you scared me. Hold on, aren't you one of those Three Star students?"
"Yep." Sanageyama said, hands in his pockets. "So you'd better show some respect. Or else."
"Y-yes sir." Lewis said.
"Now, I want to ask you a few questions." Sanageyama said. "First off, what's your name?"
"Lewis." He said, watching the fight again.
"Huh. Guess you aren't from Japan then with a name like that huh?" Sanageyama said.
"No." Lewis nodded.
"Well, that's pretty interesting." Sanageyama murmured. "But I've got another question for you. What do you think of Lady Satsuki?"
'Uh oh. This isn't good.' Lewis thought. "Well… I don't really think I can form an opinion on her. I haven't really met her so I honestly couldn't tell you."
"Oh?" Sanageyama asked, eyebrow raised. "Surely you have something to say about her actions."
"Judging a person purely based on their actions is always a bad idea." Lewis said. "First impressions are always bullshit. Circumstances and context are everything."
'Where is this guy going with this? How much does he know?' Sanageyama thought. "So tell me what you think."
"Nobody starts a dictatorship just for the hell of it. Nobody builds an army just for kicks. She's got something big planned, and I want a front row seat to see what happens." Lewis grinned from behind his scarf. "I love watching grand plans like this in action. You never can tell what's going to happen next."
Sanageyama frowned before nodding. "You're kind of a weird kid, you know that?" he asked.
"Trust me, I'm not the only one." Lewis said as he turned around, but Sanageyama was already gone. "Damn it, that guy really is sneaky."
A huge cloud of steam erupted from the boxing ring as Ryuko fled from Honnouji Academy.
"Well, there she goes." Lewis said, watching Ryuko run through the gateway before feeling all energy drain from him. "Oh man, I am so dead. I basically just flat out told him I know Satsuki's up to something. Gamagoori's gonna come down on me like a ton of bricks."
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
Sanageyama swaggered into the Elite Four meeting room, cleaning out his ear as he went. The only person in the room however was Inumuta.
"Hey, got some info for you." Sanageyama said.
"I don't recall anyone giving you permission to talk to him." Inumuta said, glaring at the green haired swordsman.
"I don't recall anyone telling me I couldn't either." Sanageyama said, sitting down on a plush couch. "Anyway, I've got some information on the other transfer student that's arrived. He was awfully open with the information."
"So what did he tell you?" Inumuta asked.
"Well, he's not from Japan that's for sure. Said so himself. Second of all, he seems to know Lady Satsuki has a plan, but he didn't say what he thought it might be." Sanageyama said. "It's amazing how much information you can get by just asking."
"The other data I have gathered shows what you're saying might be true." Inumuta said, pressing a button on his laptop's keyboard.
"The gears are already in motion, and I don't want to break them." Lewis' recorded voice crackled over the speakers.
"Good thing this guy monologues." Sanageyama chuckled.
"I believe that he will either need to be dealt with or recruited. We should ask Lady Satsuki what we should do." Inumuta said.
The door opened, a bright light suddenly filling the room. "It is doubtful that he will survive for long. Send one of the Club Captains after him." She commanded. "If he is a spy then he will have been dealt with. If he was weak then it is no loss whatsoever."
"Yes Lady Satsuki." Bowed her two subordinates.
*v*v*v*
*v*v*v*
The next day, Lewis found himself suspiciously alive. However he could feel eyes boring into the back of his head everywhere he went. In the giant courtyard to Honnouji Academy Lewis saw Mako being pelted to death by the Tennis Club.
"Poor Mako. Good thing she's got such a tough friend like Ryuko." He muttered as Ryuko leapt to Mako's defence. "I think I'll skip out on this one. This fight was kinda boring anyways."
As Lewis walked away from the battleground, he began to think about what events were coming up. First the No-Late Day, then the hilariously named Naturals Election, and finally the Grand Sports and Cultural Festival. He would need some kind of miracle to keep himself alive.
Something too fast for Lewis' eye to see splattered against the ground and Lewis sprinted for cover, which took the form of a giant chain. More shots burst against the chains, splattering a rainbow of paint over the chains.
"God damn it, what the hell?" Lewis shouted before another stream of paintballs was fired in his direction. Dodging out of the way, one of the paintballs splattered against his shoulder and burst, spreading yellow paint all over his One Star coat.
"Cover won't save you, fool! I am Two Star Kirito Toryo, President of the Paintball Club!" shouted a fairly cocky looking guy in light blue and white camouflage overalls with two black stars emblazoned on the front with a pair of goggles, a pair of plastic-armoured fingerless gloves on his hands which carried two paintball guns.
"Paintball huh?" Lewis growled, clutching at his shoulder. "I like paintball, but I think you're taking it a bit too far."
"No matter, I'm going to destroy you!" Kirito shouted before suddenly appearing in front of Lewis. "Flanking Tactics!"
Lewis' eyes widened and he leapt over the other side of the chain but saw that an identical copy of the Club President was waiting for him!
"A copy?!" Lewis gasped before receiving a salvo of paintballs to the chest, the sheer force sending him flying backwards into a wall.
The Paintball Club President let out a victorious laugh as he marched over to Lewis' body. "I knew you'd be no trouble! My Paintball-Spec Two Star Goku Uniform is leagues above your sorry excuse for a uniform!" he shouted.
Lewis coughed and a thin stream of blood ran from the corner of his mouth. "I'm not done yet you bastard!"
The Captain's boot came down heavy on Lewis' chest as the Club President stood above him with a paintball gun aimed for his face.
"How wrong you are." He smirked.
Lewis growled as his mind raced for a way out of this. 'Come on, think! Think! What the hell am I gonna do?!'
'Give me more…' growled a voice inside Lewis' head.
"Huh?" Lewis thought aloud. Looking down at his scarf, he saw two eyes eek their way open as the blood running from his mouth was absorbed into the scarf.
'I need more. More. More blood! I don't want to be dormant again!' the scarf bellowed, wrapping itself tightly around Lewis' wounds.
"What the hell?!" Lewis cried as the Paintball Club President leapt backwards as well.
"This is some trick of yours isn't it? Well it won't work on me!" he shouted, aiming both of his paintball guns for Lewis and unloading. Lewis' scarf whipped around, blocking all the paintballs as it drank greedily from Lewis' blood.
"What is this? What's going on?!" Lewis shouted through gritted teeth, feeling the scarf suck the blood from his veins.
A bloody red colour began to flow through the scarf, the eyes opening wider and wider as it got further. The ends of the scarf began to move of their own accord, fighting the Paintball Club President as Lewis kept struggling.
"Let me go damn it!" Lewis shouted, but he was feeling very weak. The scarf had taken a lot of his blood, but as the spread of red reached the end there was a great flashing of stars. When the light finally stopped, Lewis saw through his blurry vision that his scarf had turned a dark red colour with two burning yellow eyes at the front, the ends of it now much longer and waving, as if blown by some non-existent wind.
Lewis stared down at the eyes on his scarf and only one question came to mind. "What are you?"
'I am not entirely sure.' The voice said. 'However I do know that you have awakened me, and for that I am in your debt.'
"Debt huh?" Lewis thought aloud, seeing the ends of the scarf fluttering in the air. "I don't think so."
'What do you mean?' the scarf asked.
"I don't like people being in debt to me." Lewis said, looking at the Paintball Club Captain. "But we should talk more later. Right now we have to save ourselves."
The scarf was quiet for a while before it blinked approvingly. 'Very well. Let us finish this.'
The Paintball Club President looked scared before he shook his head and brandished his guns again. "Fine then, it's time I show you my real power! Flanking Tactics Extreme!" he shouted.
Clones of Kirito started appearing all around Lewis as they all readied their weapons and began firing. Lewis moved with incredible speed as he dodged around them before the ends of his scarf whipped outwards, smashing the clones in the face and sending them flying.
"What the?! Impossible!" Kirito shouted.
Lewis himself was quite surprised as well. "This is incredible! I never could move this fast before!" he thought aloud.
'Indeed. I am lending you my power in return for your blood.' The scarf explained.
"I know." Lewis said, smirking. "And I think I know what you are."
'Oh?' the scarf asked.
"You're a Kamui!" Lewis shouted before leaping off the ground, flying towards the real Paintball Club President.
Kirito shrieked as Lewis smashed a fist into his chest, knocking the wind out of him completely. As he went flying, Lewis' scarf whipped upwards and wrapped around his leg before bringing him down hard into the ground. Lewis cracked a smile as he started breathing heavily, clutching at his side.
"Damn. I feel like I'm about to keel over and die…" Lewis coughed.
'I can only imagine how your opponent feels.' The scarf chuckled. As the dust cloud cleared it showed Kirito laying on his back, unconscious. Lewis marched over and yanked the gloves off him before slipping them on, flexing his fingers.
"Yep, a perfect fit. I always wanted a pair of these." He chuckled before stumbling again, his vision fading in and out. "Ugh, what's happening now?"
'I have taken a lot of blood. Combine that with the fact that you don't seem to exercise much, and it makes sense that this would happen.' The scarf said in monotone. 'You must replenish your blood.'
Lewis groaned one last time as he staggered away from the unconscious body of the defeated Paintball Club President. He only made it a few steps before falling to the ground.
"D-damn it…" Lewis wheezed.
