The Wheels in Motion [Naturals Election] (Chapter 13)

Lucky chapter 13!

(Or,  not)

================================================================================

"That can't be good." An old, smartly dressed man stared through the window of his office with a pair of binoculars. In his sight, was the column of smoke and fire rising from Honnouji Academy. "I should've known that that island would be trouble... Can't believe we didn't investigate it earlier."

The old man sat down back in his chair, and began dialing up a number on the phone on his desk.

'...'

"Hello? Who is this?"

"This is Satoru Akefu speaking. Call up the board for Supernaturals, have them meet in my office ASAP. Make sure Polnareff is there too."

"At once Sir."

....

The cheers had quieted down after a few minutes. Well, apart from Mako, but that was to be expected. Toshiro noticed, however, a new figure walking over to them. And it was none other than the former Non-Athletic Committee Chair, Nonon Jakuzure herself.

"Ah, a new arrival to join our group!" Jakuzure growled at Toshiro's comment, and took the seat next to Inumuta. "Not so smug now, eh?"

"Shut up Northie." She spat out with venom in her tone, befitting her nickname as 'the Snake'.

"Thank you, by the way." Inumuta began. "I got excellent data from that."

"You as well. Bring it up again and I'll switch out your glasses for non-prescriptions."

"Noted."

"So uhh, Gamagori, aren't'cha gonna talk to Jakuzure? About wearing a tracksuit and all?" Mako asked.

"Hmph. I would never cross that line with a lady." Gamagori replied. "Even if it's Jakuzure."

"I HEARD THAT!"

"Heh, serves you right." Toshiro spoke with a chuckle.

"WHY YOU-"

"Please, quiet down. The next match is starting." Inumuta commented coolly.

"Curious to see how this goes. I mean, Ryuko's gonna win anyway, but still it'll be fun to see how long Sanageyama lasts." Toshiro said. Gamagori growled slightly at the disrespect to the Elite Four.

"Try not to be so dismissive." Inumuta began. "Every time the uniform failed, Iori improved it. This is now Blade Regalia's third revision. Besides, Sanageyama's pride is also on the line..."

"...And?"

"It's all the monkey cares about, that and swinging the stick he calls a 'sword' around in people's faces." Jakuzure clarified.

"His determination is equal to that of Matoi. His combined strength and willpower will make her break like waves crashing upon a cliffside." Gamagori finished.

"Says the so-called 'impenetrable shield'." That earned a growl from the giant. "I don't think you guys really understand how she fights yet. If she doesn't win early on, she'll just keep on trying until she does."

"You mean she's stubborn." Inumuta summarised.

"A ruder way of putting it, but yeah." Toshiro stopped suddenly, as a shiver went down his spine. He looked around, but saw nothing amiss in the stands.

He looked at the screens, and all seemed normal there. His partner and the final Elite were giving each other a stare down, as expected before their transformations.
