The Crimson Demon Lord: Ratatosk

Hi, I'm Kurenai Ryu and this is my first story so please go easy on me. OK? Alright here we go…

Disclaimer: Just for the record, I do not own Rosario + Vampire or Tales of Symphonia or any other works of fiction that this crosses over with.

Tsukune Aono, your average human boy of 15. His grades are terribly average to say the least, and he is physically unimpressive even for someone of his age. Because of his over all averageness he was unable to get into a good high school in Japan. But one day his father came home with an entrance form for Yokai Academy. The next day Tsukune was off to school but that's when he learned the schools secret…

IT WAS A SCHOOL FOR MONSTERS! And to make matters worse, any human found on campus was to be killed on sight. But Tsukune managed to survive with the help of his friends:

First off is Moka Akashiya,Tsukunes first friend and his secret love. She's a vampire with two personalities. When Tsukune removes the rosario cross around her neck she becomes a silver haired, red eyed super vampire.

Next is the succubus Kurumu Kurono. At first she tried to use her seductive wiles to seduce Tsukune, but now they're good friends. Kurumu is known as the second most beautiful girl in Yokai Academy. In her succubus form she grows wings and can extend her finger nails into claws and she also grows a tail.

Yukari Sendo is a witch who is the youngest of Tsukunes friends and is both the youngest and smartest person in the school. She has a huge crush on both Moka and Tsukune and often has strange fantasies about herself and those two in bed together. And she's only twelve, I repeat strange.

Mizore Shirayuki is a Yukki Ona or Snow Maiden who is Tsukunes friend and also his stalker. She once had a crush on a teacher but froze him solid when he tried to take advantage of her. She only has a short amount of time to have kids so she wants to have them with Tsukune, RIGHT NOW. And that seems to be a major turn off to Tsukune. When she transforms her hair turns into ice and she can control ice.

Gin Morioka is Tsukunes only guy friend in the school and by far his best friend. At first Gin tried to frame Tsukune for his actions of being a pervert but after losing to Inner Moka, Gin became a good friend to Tsukune. And by the way, Gin's a werewolf so he's really fast.

Ruby Toujo is another witch that Tsukune is friends with and she is the head masters assistant at the academy. She was once their enemy but now she's their friend. She can also grow wings to fly.

They all thought that if they stuck together nothing bad would ever happen to them. Boy were they wrong- big time.

It was the big festival at Yokai Academy, and Tsukune had just settled the misunderstanding that had happened because Kurumu and Mizore lied to their mothers Ageha and Tsurara about being engaged to Tsukune and things were starting to calm down for once. But, deep in the shadows a mysterious figure watched them from the roof of the academy. He was shrouded in shadows to make his appearance nothing more than that of a silhouette.

"Soon, soon the time of the great awakening will begin and these fools will know true despair. Mhm ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Aha ha ha ha ha AAAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" The figure said to himself as he formulated his plan.

Meanwhile Tsukune and his friends (along with Kurumu and Mizore's mothers) where having a great time just hanging out. They were blissfully unaware of the trouble that they were about to find themselves in. Tsukune was glad to have such great friends who were so helpful to him despite him being human. But still he couldn't help but hate himself for always having to have them fight his battles for him. For once he just whished to be the protector not the protectee.

He didn't know how much his life was about to change, again. Suddenly there was a flash of cobalt lightning and fires started breaking out all over the school. The group of friends made there way to the scene only to be caught by a blast of the strange lightning. They screamed because of the pain from the impact and suddenly they found themselves looking at their attacker.

It was a boy no older than they were (minus Yukari and the mothers) dressed in black slacks and a black muscle shirt. His hair was just past his shoulders and was white as snow. His eyes were a dark azure blue and the pupils were slit like a vampire's. He spoke with a voice that sounded like a hardened war veteran rather than a teenager.

"I've been looking forward to this for to long. Finally I can break the seal and release the mightiest of all demons. Soon Ratatosk will be free. Mhm ha ha ha ha ha aha ha ha ha ha ha AAAHAA HA HA HA HA HA!"

"Who are you?" ask Tsukune, being the first back on his feet. "My name is Raizo, and it is in your best interest to stay down before someone gets hurt" the figure, now known as Raizo, replied. After getting back up and regaining their bearings the group turned to Raizo and, with anger in their eyes, began to transform into their true forms. Moka, after getting Tsukune to remove her rosario, began to change into her true form. Her eyes changed from green to red and slited like Raizo's and her hair turned from pink to sliver white.

Kurumu grew her wings and tail and elongated her nails into claws. Her mother Ageha did the same and they both took to the skies and prepared to fight the mysterious foe. Mizore and Tusrara changed into their Ice forms and changed their hands into claws and prepared for the worst. Yukari and Ruby just got their wands ready while Gin changed into his werewolf form.

And all the while Raizo just looked on like he was bored. He didn't even flinch during Moka's transformation and looked like he just wanted to scream he was so bored. "So you're not scared of my aura and you seem to think your better than me," said a very confident Inner Moka. "I don't think I'm better than you I KNOW I'm better than you, you pathetic excuse for a yokai," said the black clad assassin. That got Moka mad. She was a vampire! The most powerful monster in the world and this commoner dared to mock her. "I'll show you who's better than who you worm. Know your place!"

And with that Moka jumped into the air and delivered one of her famous youki infused kicks to Raizo's face. But what surprised everyone was that Raizo didn't go flying like everyone expected. He was still on the roof… AND DIDN'T EVEN BUGE AN INCH!

To say they were surprised was an understatement. Everyone including Moka was shocked! Even the most powerful of her enemies had at least said 'ouch' from her attacks but this guy was still in the exact same spot as before and didn't even look like he felt it at all! "Are you finished, because I am and you truly are pathetic you worthless vampire," said Raizo as he carelessly knocked Moka aside with his fist like she was some annoying bug. She went flying just from one hit from this guy while her strongest kick didn't even leave a bruise on this creep.

Kurumu and her mother quickly went to catch Moka while the others were too shocked to move. How could this guy just bat Moka aside like that when nobody else could even get close enough to spit on her without getting killed. Moka was in a state of total shock as she flew across the sky. 'How could this nobody do that to me, ME, I'm a vampire not some second rate chump', thought Moka as the two succubi finally caught her and flew her back to the battle field. And not a moment to soon.

The others charged at the mysterious enemy and tried their luck but were met with the same results. Mizore and Tsurara tried to cut him with their ice claws but Raizo kept dodging them like they were moving in slow motion. After a few seconds of being bored with their attempts to cut him to ribbons Raizo grabbed their claws, broke them with no effort at all and used them to slash the two Yukki Onna across their chests and watched as they fell down from the pain they were experiencing. Ruby and Yukari worked together combining their magic to create a meteor storm that bombarded Raizo from above. But Raizo merely tossed the broken claws out of his hands and held one of his now empty hands up to the oncoming shower of meteors and said "Raiton: Azure Lightning" and fired a barrage of cobalt lightning from his hand and destroyed all of the meteors before they even got within 10 feet of him.

He then aimed his other hand at the two witches and fired another blast of the dark blue lightning at them. As the lightning stroke home they cried out in pain. When it was over they fell to the ground as smoke extruded from their bodies. Gin feeling enraged at how his friends were being knocked around like ragdolls charged at the onyx clad assailant and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks on him.

Still, even with his speed on a full moon night, Gin was sadly unable to land a single hit on this powerful opponent. Raizo then grabbed one of Gin's punches and then slammed him with one of his own to the gut. Gin doubled over in pain and was then hit with a barrage of punches from Raizo and was then sent flying after another punch to the chest courtesy of Raizo.

When the two succubi and the lone vampire arrived at the scene they were appalled by what they saw. All of their friends (minus Tsukune) were beaten nearly to death by this albino haired teen. In rage Kurumu and Ageha attacked Raizo with everything they had. But still they were both back-handed by Raizo and then fried by his lightning powers. Moka had had enough of this creep and attacked while shouting at the top of her lungs "HOW DARE YOU STRIKE MY FRIENDS LIKE THAT YOU SON OF A BITCH! KNOW YOUR PLACE!"

Moka launched her strongest kick ever at the assassin and he caught it in his bare hand like it was nothing at all. "I'll give you points for effort, but you still can't beat me and your friends here were no fun at all either. In fact I'm surprised a vampiress like you even has friends. What with your stupid pride and all I'm surprised you have any friends at all. But still… Raizo then slammed Moka into the ground hard and then stomped on her. Grinding his foot into her torso without a care in the world. "Even with your friends here backing you up you still can't beat me. And do you want to know what's worse," he said while leaning over her, "You lost… to a loathsome hanyo."

Moka was shocked. Not only did she lose but she lost to a half breed of all things. As a proud noble vampire she was raised to believe that she was inherently stronger than any half breed. And now here she was finding out that the very opponent that had beaten her was a hanyo. Raizo then took his foot off of Moka and then turned around to face Tsukune… who was shielded by none other than the head master himself.

"It's been a long time Raizo Demon of the Azure Lightning. What are you doing at my school? I'm sorry but we can't take any new students this late in the year," said the Head Master Mikogami. "Spare me the false innocent act old man. You know what I'm here for." As Tsukune watches the exchange between the two he can't help but feel helpless. His friends have been knocked down and he can't do a thing about it. 'Why? Why? Why am I so weak? Darn it! WHY?' thought Tsukune as he kept replaying the events that just happened over and over again in his head.

As Tsukune was mentally beating himself up Mikogami and Raizo continued their discussion. And what Raizo said next caught not only his attention but also Gin's and the girl's attention too. "I'm here to awaken Ratatosk," said the dark assassin. "Are you mad? I put that seal up in order to restrain Ratatosk because he was too unstable. If you wake him up you will only doom us all to oblivion" said the Head Master, for once loosing his cool demeanor and his always present creepy smile.

Raizo only laughed at Mikogami's attempts to reason with him "Mhm ha ha ha ha ha ha, you think me a fool Mikogami. I know of Ratatsok's uncontrollable power and I intend to use the very seal you used to seal him away to control him by using it's mechanics in reverse so instead of a seal it shall work like an obedience collar keeping him under my control," as Raizo finished his little speech the girls were finally able to get back on their feet and were stunned by what he said. "What are you saying? Ratatosk disappeared years ago and even if he is still around how come you're here and why do you deem so fixated on Tsukune-sama?" asked the young Sendo witch.

Raizo just laughed like he had just heard the funniest joke in the world "Mhm ha ha ha ha ha aha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha AAAHAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! You really don't know anything do you? Very well I shall tell you the truth, but once you here it you will wish you hadn't. Ratatosk was the most powerful demon the world had ever known. He was known by many names such as: The Crimson Demon, The Crimson Devil, The Crimson Demon Lord, and The Crimson Dragon. But of course as you said he disappeared. But what you don't know is that he was slain and his power was lost forever. But before he died he claimed that he would one day rise again. And through the cycle of reincarnation he was reborn and a seal was placed on him in order to keep him locked away. But you see, it is not some mere object he was placed into but his memories were just sealed away. For you see Ratatosk was not reborn as a yokai, oh no. He was reborn as a human the only human at this academy… TSUKUNE AONO!"

When he said that everyone present gasped! And then suddenly some things started to make sense to Tsukune. Whenever he was in a life of death situation he would always feel this sudden rush of adrenalin and power. And he would always feel like he wanted to kill those who hurt his friends. Now he knew the truth. Now he knew the source of that strange feeling inside of him during those situations.

While Tsukune continued his inner musing Raizo continued his speech "And now all I have to do is release the seal and Ratatosk will be free. Mhm ha ha ha ha ha ha ha aha ha ha ha ha AAAHAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Raizo began to make his approach on Tsukune but Moka and the others quickly got in his path. "There is no way in hell I'm going to let you hurt my best friend!" said Gin at front of the barricade. Everyone was in agreement with the werewolf for a change since he was being serious for once. Tsukune was shocked, his friends just found out he's really some kind of ultimate super devil and they're still willing to fight for him. Raizo however was really starting to lose his patience.

"Well, well, well isn't this sweet and ANNOYING AS ALL HELL IN A BASKET!" shouted an enraged Raizo as he raised his hand and aimed It at those foolish enough to get in his way not once but twice today. "Raiton: Azure Lightning!" he shouted as dark blue almost purple colored lightning fired from his hand at the group of monster teens. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH" they all shouted as they were hit by the blue-purple lightning attack.

Seeing all he could stand Tsukune gave into his basic instincts and charged at this dark foe. "WAIT, TSUKUNE!" shouted Mikogami as Tsukune charged at his enemy. When Raizo realized what was going on it was to late as Tsukune landed a hard, and I mean HARD right-handed haymaker across Raizo's face. And unlike Moka's last few kicks this punch actually had an effect on the lightning assassin and sent him flying. But he just got right back up and charged at Tsukune smiling all the way like a deranged psychopath. When he got close to our young hero the dreaded lightning assassin shouted gleefully "At long last this little scavenger hunt has finally come to an end. Now the time has come to end this stupid farce" with that said Raizo slammed his palm on Tsukune's stomach and shouted, "FUUIIN KAI!"

"NO!" Shouted the Head Master, but it was too late. The seal was broken and as the last bit of the seals strength began to fade Tsukune gave off a deafening scream of pure pain. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

A pillar of crimson light and ki erupted from Tsukune's body. It radiated with power and rage and a blood lust that surpassed any ghoul that ever existed before. And all the while Raizo just laughed gleefully "AAAHHAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, YES AT LONG LAST MY GOAL IS AT HAND! RISE RATATOSK! RISE UP SHOW THE WORLD YOUR POWER! Mhm a ha ha ha ha ah ha ha ha ha ha ha AAAAHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" All the others could do was watch with tears in their eyes as the person they all knew as their friend and to some their love was turned into a beast that would kill them on site without any regret.

And as they all continued to watch Moka did something no one ever thought they'd see her do. She fell to her knees and began to cry. She wasn't crying because she last a friend, no. She was crying because she just lost the love of her life. And she never got a chance to tell him how she felt. As they all looked on at the pillar of crimson ki a deafening roar was heard around the world. And this wasn't the roar of just any beast it was the roar of a dragon who was ready to unleash years worth of rage upon the world.
