Tsukune felt pain. He saw the crimson liquid squirt out of his body as several tentacles shot through him like bullets. He looked up to see the monstrosity in front of him. One thing's for sure Tsukune always seemed to find good in people, despite any despicable things the person might have done. But the thing he saw in front of him was far from a person, and there was no good in that thing at all.

Moka was terrified. Everyone was.

"Tsukune! What are you doing!?" she yelled.

Unfortunately Tsukune couldn't seem to get any words in his mouth. The several hits he just took from Alucard raised the influence of his vampiric instincts. Just standing up was a problem, he felt like just lying down and going to sleep.

Alucard roared as he looked down on his weakened prey. Tsukune was now atop a part of Alucards body which seemed like a giant claw-liked hand, the same part that devoured Akasha.

'This is it…' Tsukune thought.

'Moka-san…everyone…goodbye…' he didn't even have the strength to speak anymore.

His eyes started to close. He was going to lose his conscious to the vampiric blood that was slowly that was slowly corrupting him anytime now. He didn't want to do this, but he wanted to stop Alucard from bringing the end of the world more.

The palm of the claw like hand split open in the middle revealing an opening into the body of the monstrosity. Tentacles started to wrap around Tsukune and slowly started to pull him into the opening.

Tsukune knew all too well what was going to happen. Was he afraid? Was he in fear at the fact of what was happening? That was something he was asking himself because he felt nothing of the sort. He felt…calm, as if at peace. Why was he feeling at peace? Why did he fell relaxed? Did he want to be sealed within the monster? No he didn't, he knew that for sure. He was doing this to protect his friends and the entire world.

…Wait a minute…

Was that why he felt peaceful? Because he knew that his loved ones would be safe? And that he would prevent the destruction of the entire planet?

…But…wasn't Akasha at peace when she let the monster absorb her…because she knew that her beloved daughter would be safe?

Tsukune understood now why Akasha smiled when she was devoured. And after realizing that he couldn't help but slightly smile with whatever strength he had left.

He sunk into the slit opening and finally it closed, leaving no trace of him left.

Touhou Fuhai wasn't so easily surprised. He had seen a lot in his lifetime, but what he saw isn't a thing you see every day. He saw a man. A single man letting him be devoured by a fearful monster without any trace of fear, he hadn't seen that since Akasha. He couldn't see much from where he was. But he could have sworn he saw Tsukune smile.

But to add more surprise an all too familiar voice popped out of nowhere.

"Kukuku, so this did happen."

Not only Touhou Fuhai but everyone else who were still crying over what they just saw looked to their right only to see a white hooded figure.

"Mikogami?" Touhou said in confusion.

The grin on Mikogami's face was the same as always.

"I was prepared for this to happen." Mikogami said as his hand reached into his robe and came out holding a cross.

"What are you planning to do? A cross won't work in this situation." Touhou said.

Mikogami kept on grinning.

"Kuku, you've got the wrong idea. This isn't just any cross…" he began.

He looked at everyone and showed off his grin.

"…This cross is connected to the holy lock that I placed onto Tsukune-kun's wrist."

Now this was a surprise. The look on everyone's faces was already enjoying him. This was going to be fun. They must have plenty of questions right now.

Ruby was the first to speak,

"Connected to his holy lock?"

"Yes Ruby. Alucard became what he is today because he absorbed many yokai…Ruby…Did you ever notice something strange…maybe sinister about Tsukune-san?"

"Yes exactly. You see, While Akasha was sleeping inside Alucard her blood merged with his. She later passed it down to Miss Akashiya who passed it to Tsukune. I'm sure you're already aware of that. When I made this holy lock I made sure that I could use it against Alucard. I was hoping that Tsukune-kun would be able to go through with this plan, and he did not disappoint. It takes a shinso to beat a shinso. But Akasha alone could not beat Alucard so she sealed herself inside him. Tsukune-kun tried to do the same just now, but since he is not a shinso it wouldn't have work. That's where his holy lock comes in."

He raised his cross.

"That holy lock, is like a bomb, a bomb that could destroy Alucard from the inside!"

Everyone gasped.

"What are you saying?!" Kurumu shouted. "Are you just using Tsukune as a bomb?!"

Mikogami chuckled. "No, it doesn't work that way. The holy lock was activated as soon as it was put on Tsukune-kuns wrist. I kept telling him not to go overboard with his vampiric blood not just because the risk of him turning into a ghoul again, but because of the holy lock detonating. Back in hong kong when he became the jet black monster, that was the holy lock detonating. When he released different seals in the holy lock, that was slowly leading to detonating it. In the current form he's in now, the more of the vampiric blood slowly corrupting him, the closer the holy lock is to detonating, even when it detonates it still can't fully go to its potential without the help of this cross. This cross will fully detonate it, and the power will be too much for Alucard to handle that it will destroy his body!"

He raised the cross and it shined a bright blaze of light. Then the ground started to shake.

"YOUR END IS NOW ALUCARD!" Mikogami yelled.

Tsukune slowly opened his eyes to see blackness. He felt like he was laying on some floor, a cold and wet floor. He looked around. Still just darkness. He had not strength left. He closed his eyes realizing he was about to die, he wasn't able to stop Alucard. He could only hope that his friends would be okay and hope for the best for the human world.

'this is the end.' He thought sadly.

He closed his eyes and felt started to feel himself fade.

'I never told Moka-san my true feelings…' he thought. He was filled with regret.

His thoughts were interrupted when he felt something bright shine on his face

He quickly opened his eyes to realize that he wasn't lying down, he was falling.

He looked down to see an opening of light, as if an entrance out of a dark cave. He felt himself falling closer and closer to the light.

'am I dead?' he thought.

He kept falling down until he went into the opening. Suddenly there was a huge FLASH!

And the darkness was gone.
