Ryuko helps Hawk up as he still reels from their fight against Jakuzure. As he gets to his feet, he stumbles a bit as the ringing in his ears remains fresh.
Ryuko: "You alright, Hawk?"
Hawk: "*groan* Yeah. I just need...a moment to get ahold of myself. Still have that ringing in my ear."
Ryuko: "If you need a minute to rest, you can take it. Besides, I gotta get my revenge on Sanageyama."
The two look forward to see Sanageyama standing 50 or so feet away from them. A smirk plastered across his face.
Sanageyama: "I've been waiting for this moment. I would've preferred to face both of you at your best, but I guess since you've gotten a hell of a lot stronger. I can live with just dismantling you again, Matoi. I guess I can wait on facing Hawk later on." Hawk drops to the ground as he sits and takes a quick rest.
Hawk: "You can take this from here, Ryuko." He says lazily as he takes a breather.
Sanageyama: "I'll allow it. This time. LIFE FIBER SYNCHRONIZE: BLADE REGALIA MK II!!"

Ryuko smirks as she activates Senketsu and transforms as well. The two let out a battle cry as they charge at one another, ready to face off and decide who is better. As they near each other and ready a strike, the charge is brought to a halt as a new fighter interjects themselves.

Hawk: "This is new."
Satsuki: "What is the meaning of this Nui Harime."
Nui: "Aww. This isn't fair, Lady Satsuki. Why didn't you tell me you would host such a fun-looking event."
Satsuki: "I'm not obligated to tell you anything."
Nui: "There's no need to be like that. I thought we were closer. Like two peas in a pod."
Satsuki: "Who are you trying to fool? You associate with no one."
Nui: "You're as breathtaking as ever. Your icey stare and ice skin are simply ravishing. My fingers will be tingling for the rest of the day." Her tone was creepily jovial even as Sanageyama was pointing his kendo stick at her.
