High School AmZ
Hunt 2: "Bloody Hunt"
LAST HUNT…
Harry: What the?! Why am I in Japan?!
Harry: I feel so hungry now…
Rias: I've got to save his life!
Raynare: No, please!
Koneko: Just,… who are you?
And now…
Occult Research Club. Morning.
This doesn't make any sense! There's an Amazons Driver on my waist, and an Amazonz Register on my left arm! What happened last night?! And… am I an… Amazon? "Hey, who are you?" the petite, white-haired girl asks me again.
She stares at me, her face calm, with no sign of anger or fear. "I… uh…," I mutter, "My name is Harry Mizer."
She looks at me, and then, she stares at the Amazons Driver. I look down at it as well, still confused. I then stand up, and I hear a loud sound. My stomach. I'm really hungry right now. "Hey, uh,… do you have any meat? Or anything else with protein?" I ask her, and she nods.
" We have some eggs in the mini fridge," she answers, and I run over there, saying, "Thank you!"
I reach into the fridge, and there, in a plastic bag, is a couple hard-boiled eggs. I open the bag, and I immediately eat them, not even thinking about the crunchy egg shells that still cover them. The girl grimaces at this, and she mutters, "Gross."
I catch note of this, and I bow. "S-Sorry, I just feel really hungry for some reason," I explain.
The last thing I needed here was to be known as a weirdo who ate eggs with their shells. Then, I remember something. In Kamen Rider Amazons, the Amazon Riders tended to eat eggs, as they were filled with proteins, and it helped calm their Amazon Cells. I sigh to myself. This Driver and Register… can this be real? Am I really in Japan? Lost? As an Amazon? "Excuse me, can I ask you a question?" the girl asks, and I nod.
" What's your Sacred Gear?" she asks, and this term confuses me.
Sacred Gear? What is that? Then, I remember the winged girl. She said something about that guy having a "Sacred Gear", and that with it, he was dangerous. Also, she said she sensed something in me? Do I have one as well? "Oh, shit! That one guy! I hope he's okay!" I shout aloud, and this catches the girl's attention.
" Oh, you mean the new pawn? He's resting up with Rias. He should be better by now," she answers, and this shocks me.
Rias? Who's Rias? And what does she mean by Pawn? Then, I recall that the devil girl from last night, she had eight pawn chest pieces, and she thrusted them into the guy's chest. Did she save his life by doing that? And to think, I thought she was some evil monster. If I see her again, I need to apologize. I could've cost that man his life as well. Man, what kinda Rider fan would I be if I let someone die?! "Now, back to your Sacred Gear," the girl resumes.
" My Sacred Gear? I just learned that name yesterday, so if I have one, then I don't know what it is," I explain.
This shocks the girl, and she mutters, "But then, you don't know…"
She looks a little shocked by this, and I'm confused. What's going on? "Don't know what?" I ask, but she pushes it off, saying, "Never mind. Rias will explain later. Just stay here and wait. I have classes to attend."
Classes? Are we near a school? And how old is she? I'd say twelve, but for all I know, she's got the bad side of puberty, and she might be a teenager. She glares at me now, saying, "Stop thinking about my age. I'm a first year."
I'm scared by her angry glare. Did I strike a nerve? Note to self: Don't piss her off. She walks off, saying, "Good bye," as she leaves.
I stand there, angry, confused, and depressed.
HOURS LATER.
Hours have passed, and now, I notice the door opening. I nearly fell asleep, but the sound definitely wakes me up. The door opens, and in steps the girl from last night. I'm shocked by her appearance. She smiles at me, and she says, "Oh, you're awake. How are you doing?"
I stand up, and I bow, saying, "S-Sorry about last night, miss! It was wrong of me to assume the worst of you, especially since you saved that boy's life and gave me some help!"
The girl, who simply chuckles, replies, "Oh, it's alright. Besides, you helped the boy out just as much as I did."
This confuses me. I did? How did I help? All I did was puke and black out. "I did?" I ask, and this confuses her.
Then, in steps the petite girl, and she says, "Rias, he doesn't remember."
The devil girl, named Rias, looks at me, and she asks, "You don't?"
I nod no, and she sighs, walking towards another room. Having looked around while I was alone, I noticed that she was heading towards the random shower room this building has. She then throws her clothes to the ground, in the main room, as she undresses in the shower room. My face turns red at this, and I look away. Then, a feminine voice giggles. "Ara, ara, are you interested in Rias?" the voice asks, and I turn around, and there, is an attractive woman, with long black hair, and breasts even bigger than Rias'.
I back up, shocked by her appearance. "Oh, did I scare you?" she asks, "I'm sorry, baby."
This girl carries a seductive, sadist vibe, and it's creeping me out. The petite girl heads to the mini-fridge, and before she opens it, she turns to me. "You didn't eat my youkan, did you?" she asks me.
I nod no, answering, "Nope. Just meat and eggs. I don't even know what youkan is."
The girl opens the fridge, pulling out a tray of small dessert treats. This must be youkan. She sits on the couch, and she begins to nibble on them. I sit down next to her, and she notices this. "Do you need something?" she asks me, looking annoyed.
I turn away, my face red, and say, "Oh, uh, I just… wanted to know your name."
She looks at me, and then, she sighs. "Toujou Koneko," she answers, and she goes back to eating.
I smile, and I say, "Nice to meet you, Koneko-chan!"
The other girl then walks into the shower. That's weird. Then, there's a knock on the door. "Buchou, I've brought him," a male voice says, and then, Rias says, "Thanks. Please come in."
Then, the door opens, and in step two men. One has blonde hair, and he seems like someone girls would go crazy over. The other, however, is the same guy from yesterday. I can't believe it! He really is alive! He looks perfectly fine! "You! You're alive!" I shout, shocked.
This scares the guy, confused. He looks at me, weirded out. "Uh,… yeah,… I am," he says, "Who are you?"
" Oh, sorry. I'm Harry Mizer," I say, holding my hand out.
The guy looks at me, a friendly smile on his face, and he shakes my hand. "Hyoudou Issei," he replies.
He then turns to Koneko, and looks shocked at her. The other guy notices this, and he says, "Oh, Koneko-chan, this is Hyoudou Issei-kun."
Koneko looks at Issei, and she bows, saying, "Nice to meet you," before going back to her food.
Issei bows back to her, and he walks around. I turn to the other guy, and we shake hands. "I'm Kiba Yuuto," he says, and I respond, "Please to meet you."
Then, the shower stops, and this catches Issei's attention. "Take these, buchou," the other girl says, and Rias responds, "Thank you, Akeno."
Huh, so Akeno is her name. Issei's face turns red, and he gains an odd smile. Koneko notices this, and she mutters, "Pervert."
Issei turns back to her, surprised that she said that. Then, Rias and Akeno step out, Rias now fully dressed. "Sorry about that," she says, "I didn't get to take a shower this morning at Issei's house, so I just took one now."
Wait…? She was at… Issei's house…? "Wait! You were at Issei's house?" I ask, repeating my thoughts aloud.
Issei then smiles, a cocky grin on his face. "You know it, man! We slept naked!" he shouts, and I am shocked at this.
Rias' face turns red, and Akeno giggles. Koneko stares at Issei, and Kiba just smirks. "Ara ara, aren't you the dirty one?!" Akeno mutters, catching Issei's attention, "I'm Himejima Akeno. Nice to meet you."
Issei bows to her, and then, Rias looks a little serious. "Okay, everyone's here. Issei, Harry, we have some things to tell you," she says.
Both of us? Why? Does it have to do with that winged girl? Or maybe my Driver and Register? I'm so confused. Rias then arranges everyone's seating positions, with her at the main desk, and Akeno right next to her. She must be the leader. Maybe Akeno's the second in command? I suddenly feel hungry again, but luckily, I have some eggs ready. I crack one open, eating the yolk as is. This shocks everyone, and they stare at me. I notice this, and I say, "Sorry."
" Dude, what's the hell wrong with you? That could make you sick!" Issei yells at me.
Technically, if everything was normal, it probably would. Though, at this point, I'm sure that I'm an Amazon, so it doesn't matter. I'm just so hungry. "Anyway, back to the matter at hand," Rias says, "Issei, Harry, do you two know why you are here?"
The two of us nod no. I'm confused by these events, and I'm sure Issei is too. Rias then comes flat out and says, "It's because the Occult Research Club, myself and the others here, are devils."
Issei is confused by this, but I'm more surprised. I knew Rias was one, so it's not that surprising that everyone else in the club is. Especially since this is an Occult Research Club. "Okay then, Rias, what's your goal on Earth?" I ask, and Issei looks shocked that I'm taking this in so easily.
" Good question, Harry. You see, we're here to gather more followers, since natural devil births have decreased over the years. Besides that, we watch over our territories, mine being Kuoh," she explains.
So, from the sound of it, they make contracts with humans, who are reincarnated into devils, in exchange for a wish. That sounds like some Imagin crap right there. Also, devils have had a hard time giving birth in the past who knows how many years, so it benefits them as well. They also have assigned territories to watch over. "For many years, the Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels have been at war," she continues, "Us devils and the Fallen Angels have split the Underworld, or Hell, as well, so we two groups often are hostile against each other."
The devils and fallen angels split Hell, huh? That makes sense. "Senpai, what you're saying is ridiculous," Issei says, and Rias chuckles at this statement.
" Oh, you don't believe me, Issei?" she asks, before everyone of the club members stand.
Then, they suddenly sprout wings from their backs, which shocks us. Okay, the wings are new! Rias then asks, "This good enough evidence?"
Issei and I nod our heads, dumbfounded at this. Then, Issei rubs his back, looking uncomfortable, and suddenly, wings sprout out of his back too. "What the hell?!" Issei yells.
" That's right! You saved Issei's life!" I say to Rias, and she nods smiling.
" Thanks goodness you dispatched that fallen angel too, Harry," she says.
Issei hears this, and he looks at me. "Fallen Angel?" he asks Rias, "What fallen angel?"
I then remember. Rias and Koneko said I defeated a fallen angel, and the one from last night,… was the girl Issei was on a date with. But, I don't remember doing anything last night! Not after puking and blacking out! "Oh, that's right. I probably should explain that," she says, "Issei, does the name Amano Yuuma mean anything to you?"
Issei's face is in complete shock. He looks at Rias, asking, "How do you know her?!"
Rias and Akeno pull out a picture, which shocks Issei. On the picture, it shows him and the human form of that fallen angel, looking happy. He holds onto it, asking, "Where… Where did you get this?!"
" We followed you around. We've been wanting you on the club for a while now, Issei," Rias explains, "And this girl, no, this fallen angel, tried to kill you."
Issei hears these words, but he's shaking his head, refusing to listen. "No!No! That's not true!" he yells, and Rias adds, "Oh, it is. She sensed the Sacred Gear within your body, and so, she felt you were a threat to the Fallen Angels, and she took you out."
Issei stands there in shock, and he throws the picture down. "Took me out?! How?! I'm alive!" he yells.
" Oh, I made you my Pawn in my group. It reincarnated you into a devil," she says, and Issei asks, "Then, what does Harry have to do with this?!"
Everyone stares at me, and I stare at Rias. She sighs, like something terrible is going to be revealed. What is she hiding? "Harry was one of the people I handed out flyers to. When he saw me heading to your location, he jumped in, assuming I was a bad person. There, he saw Yuuma, no, Raynare, about to leave. But, she stayed behind, believing that he had a Sacred Gear, just like you. And then,…" she explains, but stops.
Issei and I are worried by this, and I ask, "And then what, Rias?"
She then sighs again, and says, "You… transformed… into some monster. You attacked her, and… you tore her head off with your mouth."
I stand there, confused, sickened, shocked. I… killed her…? Tore her head off…? And I was… a monster…? So, I am an Amazon now. This can't be happening! It just can't! "You're telling me he tore her head clean off?!" Issei shouts, and then, Rias nods yes.
I fall onto my knees, tears streaming down my face. "N-No!" I yell, "No! You're lying!"
I then rush through the door, shocking everyone. I faintly hear Rias calling my name, but I don't care. I'm scared. I don't want to hurt anyone else! I run from the school, and soon, I enter some forest nearby. I can't calm myself. My breath is fast. My heart is pulsating. I'm so hungry. But, I can't give in. As I run, I get this odd feeling. Like something's watching me. The next thing I know, I run into something sticky. "What the hell?!" I shout.
Then, the sticky prison is raised into a tree, and there in front of me, is my captor. It's a man-like creature, with spider-like features. It looks at me, eyeing my body like it's next meal. Oh, god! It's the Spider Amazon! I'm dead meat! I close eyes, prepared for the worse, but then, I hear a voice. "Harry!" Issei cries out.
I turn my head, and I see the devils are running up to us. Crap! They can't be here! Me and this guy are two Amazons! They'll be our lunch! "Stay back! We're dangerous!" I shout at them, and Rias says, "It's okay, Harry!"
Koneko jumps up, kicking the Spider Amazon away. What the hell?! How strong is this girl?! She then rips the spider webs, and I fall to the ground. I stand up, and I look at them. "Rias, why did you save me?" I ask.
" Because,…. you realized we were good, despite us being devils, so we'll help you, even if you're like this," she answers, and I tear up.
They actually want to help me, despite me being an Amazon. Then, out of nowhere, the Spider Amazon leaps onto Rias, freaking everybody out. Rias tries to swat it off, yelling, "Someone, get it!"
Koneko swats it off, knocking it to the ground. We all stand there, facing it down. It growls at us, sounding pissed. "Rias, this must be the creature your brother warned us about!" Kiba says, which shocks me and Issei.
They were told about the Amazon? Do they know about them overall, or just this one? "Geez, guys," I mutter, trying to sound cocky, "Thanks for holding out on the Amazon info."
This catches their attention. "Amazon?" Rias asks, and I answer, "Yes. This is the Spider Amazon. Amazons are creatures whose cells need human flesh to survive."
This catches them off guard, and Issei nearly pukes. "What the?! They're like zombies and vampires?!" he asks, and I nod yes.
" Okay then," Rias says, "Guys, let's take this thing out!"
We charge the Amazon, and it puts up a hard fight. Kiba swings a sword at it, which it easily dodges. Koneko throws a punch at it, but it catches her arm with a web, swinging her into a tree. Akeno tries to hit it with special lightning attacks, but it leaps away. It goes after me and Issei, as we are the only two without powers. Issei and I fend off its hits, and Issei looks at me. "You got anything up you're sleeve?" he asks, and I say, "No. You?"
He nods no, and I sigh. The Spider charges Issei again, but this time, he places his arms out to block it. At the moment of impact, a flash of red goes off, blinding us for a second. When the light clears, we are shocked. There, on Issei's left hand, was a red, shiny gauntlet. In the middle of it, there was a green orb, that looked like a jewel. We were all shocked by this. Issei was especially surprised. "What the hell is this?" he asks.
" Issei, that is your Sacred Gear!" Rias shouts at him, "Feel the power inside you! Use it!"
Issei then focuses his energy into the gauntlet, and with a roar, punches the Spider Amazon. This punch sends his back a few feet, but he keeps coming. Issei continues to punch him. However, he can't keep this up. He's getting more and more tired at the moment. Meanwhile,… I'm getting hungry again. But, I can't! If I transform again, I might kill one of them! I won't let that happen! I close my eyes, trying to hide the pain. In my head, I see the monster in the cage again. But now, I can see its appearance clearly. This monster… is Amazon Omega's Origin form,… and… its my monster form as well. But, that means… "Harry! Are you okay?!" Rias asks me, and I open my eyes.
She's next to me now, looking worried. I sigh, tired from fighting this hunger. Then, Rias realizes what's happening. "Harry, are you gonna transform?" she asks me, which catches everyone's attention.
They all look at me, but I can't stand to look at them at all, especially Issei. Even though that bitch Raynare killed him, he only got to see her as Yuuma, and that makes me feel bad. I can't kill anyone else! But, if I don't do something, we might die! But then, I remember… "The Amazons Driver…!" I think to myself.
That's right! I have the Amazons Driver now! Maybe,… I can henshin… I look down to the belt, and Rias notices this. She nods in disagreement, saying, "Harry, you can't! If you transform, you'll be out of control!"
I grunt, as the pain and hunger grows. I then grip the left stick, the lever, and I feel calmer. I then close my eyes, sigh calmly, and open them again. I turn to Rias, put my hand on her shoulder, and say, "I've got this. Trust me."
I then shout, "Hey, ugly!", which catches the Spider Amazon's attention.
It turns to me, and hisses at me. I have a cocky smirk on my face, and then, like instinct, I roar. The roar is louder than anything else I've heard before. And then, I turn the lever. The Driver makes a noise, and a deep, ominous voice is heard.
OMEGA!
I then scream, "AMAZON!"
EVOL-EV-EVOLUTION!
The Spider Amazon charges at me, but then, my eyes turn red, and a green explosion goes off around me, knocking everyone back. As the flames die down, there I am. My body is now sleek, like an armor. On the armor pieces, it is green, with some pieces having red trimming. My chest has deep yellow armor, and my hands and feet are black, with my arms having retractable blades. I have a pink gem, attached to my head by a golden stalk. My bug like eyes are red, and I have a silver mouthpiece. The eyes on the Amazons Driver continue to glow. I am now… Kamen Rider Amazon Omega. "Hunt Start!" I mutter to myself.
I then charge at the Spider Amazon, catching it slightly off-guard. We throw punches, and though I am focused on fighting, I can hear everyone speaking. "Rias!" Akeno says, "Is this the monster form you told us about?!"
Rias is in awe and shock of my form, and she responds, "No, Akeno. This… This is… completely different."
I try to bite the Spider, but it doesn't work out so well. This damn mouthpiece! I instead decide to sweep kick it, but when I do, it jumps back onto its feet. It spits a web onto me, which shocks me. It then throws me into a tree, and I fall to the ground. "I-Issei! Could really use some help here!" I shout to him, which shocks him.
" R-Right!" he says, charging at the Spider, before he throws a punch.
Now, the Spider is out-numbered, and we both do decent damage to it. At this rate, the Spider can't keep up. I then growl, before I turn the lever again. It's once again followed by a sound, and an ominous voice.
VIOLENT… PUNISH!
I then charge at the Spider Amazon, as the blades on my forearms come out. I jump at the monster, and then, a second later,… it's split in two, as its top part falls to the ground. This shocks everyone else, and I turn to my enemy. Then, its body disintegrates, turning into a black goo, similar to blood. In the goo is an Amazonz Register, like mine. However, its eyes are red, signifying that the Amazon was hostile to humans. Meanwhile, mine has blue eyes. Rias walks up to me, confused by what happened. "What's going on, Harry?" she asks me.
I sigh, before the energy retreats into my body, reverting me to normal. This shocks everyone, and I say, "Sorry, guys. I probably should explain."
BACK AT THE CLUB ROOM.
After walking back, we're back in the club room, and now, it's time I explain about the Amazons. "Now, about that monster, and… myself, it begins with a tv series," I say.
" To be honest, I come from a different universe, and in my universe, there's a series of Japanese shows called Kamen Rider, and one of them was a web series," I explain, "In it, the monsters were test subjects that looked human, but were very different. They were called Amazons, and when their Amazon cells needed sufficient proteins, they would turn into monsters, and get it the only way they could: eating human flesh."
This fact surprises them, and I continue. "A few of these monsters were either human injected with Amazon cells, or they were human-Amazon hybrids. They wore special belts, in order to control their powers, and they were the Amazon Riders," I finish.
Rias then sighs, taking in all this info. Issei, however, says, "You're saying you were transported into our world, and not only that, became a hero from a tokusatsu show?! That's impossible, man!"
I then chuckle, answering, "Yeah, and you're all devils. You might as well be from an anime!"
Issei chuckles at this, and then, everyone smiles. Rias stands up, and she says, "Harry, thank you for this information. With your help, we might be able to handle anymore of these… Amazons… that might show up."
I walk to her, and I bow to her. "Thanks, Rias. Not only for looking out for me, but for saving Issei too," I say to her, and she bows back, replying, "It's no problem, Harry. I look out for people in my jurisdiction. Speaking of that…"
She looks at me, a smile on her face, which confuses me. "What?" I ask her, and she chuckles.
" I have an idea, Harry," she says, and I then get worried, "Okay…? What is it…?"
("Armour Zone" by Taro Kobayashi: You!)
THE NEXT MORNING.
The next morning, Rias is in the club room, and she throws a male uniform at me. She let me stay at the club room for the moment, but I didn't put any thought into it.
(Omae wa dare da? Ore no naka no ore
Kage ni kakureta sono sugata misero!)
" You're attending classes at Kuoh Academy!" Rias says to me now.
So, that's the idea…
(Oh...soudou no derivation

I'm going to high school in Japan?! Why?!
" Why?!" I ask, following from my thoughts.
" Because, you're gonna join the club… and to do that, you need to attend classes here," she explains.
(Oh...shinzou ga hotobashiru dake
Hey! We live in Armour Zone!)
Man, my life here is gonna be hell…

HUNT 3: CAUGHT IN A TRAP
