Alien Watch in a Monster School
Love's a Witch
It was the day after Kurumu had declared her love for Christian. In that short amount of time, much to both Christian and Moka's annoyance, she had stuck to the boy like glue. It wasn't that Christian didn't like the girl, it was that he liked his space. Whenever the two were separated, as soon as Kurumu next saw him, she would automatically run over to the boy and near suffocate him in one of her 'love hugs'. He was happy they were now friends but he wished she could be a little less open about her feelings. Christian was sure, despite what Kurumu claimed, this was only a passing crush. However, with her affections turned towards him, the other guys at the school were now even more jealous of the attention he was getting from the two school beauties. It had also increased the amount of death threats he had been receiving on his way to school from jealous guys.
Then there was Moka, who had been acting very strangely over the past day and a half. She seemed annoyed whenever Kurumu came up to them, almost as if Kurumu had ruined something. And then whenever Kurumu had pulled Christian in to a hug or hugged on to his arm, she would get upset and grab Christian's free arm and begin a tug of war with Kurumu using the teen's arms as the rope. The only place Christian managed to find any peace was in his dorm room, which was where he was now.
Christian sighed as he sat down at his desk and looked out the window towards the dark obsidian sky. He couldn't stop thinking about his new friends and how strange his life was becoming. With a content smile, he turned back towards the desk where his laptop lay open, the screen displaying a special video chat site designed specifically for Plumber use. With this, he could reach any plumber base in the universe.
'Isn't alien technology grand?' Christian thought with a smile as he waited for the receiver of the call to answer.
A few moments later the image on the screen changed to show the face of Max Tennyson. Christian smiled and saluted the man on the screen. "Magister Tennyson."
Max looked a little annoyed by the greeting, "How many times have I told you just to call me Max?"
"Quite a few," Christian answered with a small smirk. "Would you like to hear my report?"
Max chuckled, although he still seemed annoyed. "It's always business when it comes to you," he replied. "How about you tell me a little bit about how you're doing at school?"
"Fine," Christian said with a sigh. He then began to tell Max about his recent school activities and what he had been doing recently. He filled him in on the events with Kurumu and how she was now his friend. "Today, we were told we have a collection of midterm tests coming up to prepare us for future tests."
On the screen, Max's face was a mixture of humour and seriousness. "Sounds like you have some studying to do." Christian nodded. "Ok then, now for the serious bit. What is the process with bridging the gap?"
Christian moved a hand to his chin and leaned back in his chair. "Process has been slow. It seems many of the monster species here dislike humans due to the stereotype that they are 'weak' and forced monsters into hiding. I reckon that it will take a long time to fully build up monster trust for humans."
Max nodded his head. "That's understandable considering the violent history between humans and monsters," he said before a small smirk appeared on his face. "Although from reading the written reports that you've sent us, it appears you've already managed to change the mind of one of your friends," he said with a knowing smile. "Now, how did you do that?"
Christian turned bright red, embarrassed that he had to talk about Moka to the man who had been a father figure to him. "Well-uh-you see...well..." he stammered, his cheeks flaring.
Max laughed at the boys random spluttering as Christian struggled with his words. "I see I hit a soft spot," Max said, rubbing salt in the wound. "But I would still like to know how it happened."
So, despite his embarrassment, Christian told Max everything the had happened on his first day at Yokai Academy. How he met Moka, how they had become friends and about the fight with Saizou. He even told Max how he had revealed his identity to her.
At first Max was angry that Christian had compromised himself, but then his expression softened when he learned Moka was his closest friend at the academy and she was keeping his secret in order to protect him. After Christian had finished explaining, Max remained silent for a few moments.
"That's quite the story..." Max finally said. "This, Moka, sounds like someone very close to you," he stated. 'Maybe she can be one to mend the cracks in your heart,' he thought.
"She is," he replied with a smile.
"Hmmm... I would like to talk to her."
"Wha...?"
"I need to make sure that she understands the importance of your mission and that your identity remain a secret," Max explained.
"But-" Christian started.
"That's not a request," Max said sternly.
Christian lowered his head in defeat. "Yes sir. However, may I ask it be after the tests. She doesn't need the stress with them coming up."
"I can understand that," Max said with a nod.
"Ok then, I'll ask her sometime after everything calms down."
"That's fine," the old man responded with a smile. "Well then, I'm going to let you get some rest. With those tests coming up you're going to need it."
Christian returned the smile. "Yes sir. Good night." Just before he turned off the screen, he cast one last look at the computer. "And Max, it was good to hear a familiar voice."
Max smiled as the screen went black.
Turning off the laptop, Christian got ready for bed. After a wash and a small amount of studying, Christian began to change but stopped. He looked out his window, across to the girl's dorms. More specifically, the room that was parallel to his. Moka's. By some twist of fate, they had ended up as neighbours. Every so often, they would talk to each other using a pad of paper to send messages. Judging by the fact her light was off, Christian assumed Moka was already asleep. Deciding to follow suit, the Omnitrix teen changed into his sleeping attire and went to sleep.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It had been a week and a half since then. The midterms were now over and done with and today the students were to learn the results of their hard labours. Christian was making his way downstairs from his dorm, ready for the drama that would greet him. His new and begrudged routine was that as soon as he made it downstairs, either Moka or Kurumu would show up and glomp him right before the other one would show up and fight the other girl that got to him first.
This morning it was Moka who appeared next to him, smiling. "Good morning, Christian," she greeted.
"Morning, Moka," Christian said, returning the smile.
Within seconds, a small blush appeared on her cheeks and she began twiddling her fingers "Umm...Chris?" She asked nervously.
Christian sighed, knowing exactly what she wanted. Moka had started wanting to suck his blood more these days. He honestly wasn't sure if she was addicted to his blood, or if it was her own unique way of getting closer to him.
CHU!
Next thing the Plumber teen knew, he had Moka chomping on his neck. Apparently she hadn't waited for an answer. Eh, he wouldn't have said no anyway.
'Should I be worried that this is no longer close to causing me any kind of pain?' Christian thought as the girl drank.
Once Moka had her fill, she pulled away, her face crimson. "Thank you, Christian! It was amazing as always!"
Christian smiled awkwardly but didn't say anything. Suddenly, he felt something soft press against his back and a pair of arms wrap around his neck. Since Moka was in front of him, it could only be one person.
"Morning, Kurumu," he said, looking over his shoulder to see the blue haired succubus pressed against his back.
"Hello, sweetie," Kurumu purred. "So, I probably know your answer but-"
"Kurumu, for the last time, I'm not sneaking into your room or letting you into mine." Christian was exasperated by the succubus's methods of trying to seduce him.
"C'moooonn...Please?" Kurumu asked, playfully pouting.
"No!" Both Christian and Moka shouted together.
"Damn..." Kurumu sighed, reluctantly releasing Christian as the three began to walk to school together.
The three talked as they walked, chatting about plans for the weekend or how well they believed they were doing in their other subjects; which in Kurumu's case was not very well.
"Hey, aren't they posting the midterm results today?" Moka asked. "How do you guys think you did?"
Kurumu looked disheartened. "I don't want to talk about it..." she said through a grimace.
"I'm not too sure myself," Christian admitted.
"I'm sure you did well," Moka said cheerily.
"Totally," Kurumu agreed. "I mean, you're always paying attention in class and making notes."
"I've always been like that. It's honestly just a lot of hard work," Christian said modestly.
What he didn't tell them was that he was working hard because he had promised his parents he would get a good education in order to get a good job and make something of his life, just like they did in the Plumbers. Even though he too was now an agent, Christian still kept that promise while he was at Yokai.
"I hope I do well," Moka commented, bringing Christian out of his thoughts. He looked at Moka only to see she was looking back at him with a smile on her face. "Do you want to go with me and look at the scores at lunch?"
"Sure, it could be fun," Christian replied.
"I'm going too!" Kurumu shouted, latching on to Christian's right arm protectively.
"I'm sorry, but I invited Christian, not you!" Moka responded, grabbing hold of the teen's left arm.
"I'm not leaving my 'destined one' alone with you!" Kurumu snapped back, giving the teen's arm a tug towards her. "You would suck his blood and drain him the first chance you get."
"I would not!" Moka countered. "Christian's my friend, not my food substitute!" She then pulled Christian back towards her.
Christian sighed, knowing exactly what was going to happen. Instead of being used as a rope, he walked forwards, dragging the two girls along with him.
"How about we get to school before you two make my arms sore again," he said as he pulled them along.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
At lunch, Christian and the girls made their way to the schoolyard plaza. As they approached, they could see the other students looking for their own scores that were posted on a collection of boards in the centre of the plaza. After the three arrived they went to look for their own scores.
"I'm number 13!" Moka cried in surprise, running over to Christian to show him. "I knew that extra studying paid off!"
"Congrats," the teen replied, happy for his friend. He continued to scour the board for his own name. "I can't seem to find mine."
"Hmm... have you looked over here?" Moka asked gesturing towards the side of the board her name was on.
"I doubt I'd be up there," Christian deadpanned still looking towards the middle of the names.
"Oh come on, you put yourself down too easily," Moka said, taking his hand and pulling him towards the area where her name had been. "Let's just have a look."
"Fine... but I doubt that I will be..." He stopped as he looked at the board, finding his name among the names that were written. "I'm 18th!" Christian exclaimed, completely surprised.
"See, I told you that you didn't have to worry." Moka commented.
"I guess you were right," he replied. "Although I still have a little way to go before I catch up with you Moka. You're the gifted one."
Moka blushed slightly, but before she reply, a cry rang out across the plaza catching everyone's attention.
"No! 288th!" Kurumu's screech reached everyone as she looked at her test score.
"I suspect Kurumu didn't do so well." Christian commented.
"I suspect not," Moka replied a small bead of sweat.
Kurumu then forgot all about her ranking and automatically made her way over to Christian and begged him to tutor her, offering a rather suggestive reward in return. This made the now blushing Moka scold Kurumu for saying such things while Christian stood away from the two, tryng his best to forget the offer the blunette had made.
As this was going on, the trio failed to notice a young girl make her way over to the score board. She looked to be around eleven. She had a slim figure and clear skin. Short brown hair reached down to her chin and she had violet tinted eyes. She wore the uniforms plaid skirt, but she had yellow stockings with garter belts on them. She wore brown shoes on her feet. She also wore an electric pink, sleeveless, turtle neck shirt with a brown corset and a yellow bowtie. A small brown cape adorned her back that went down to her ankles. She had wrist couplings and a brown, pointed hat on her head. She seemed nervous, but still looked at the board. She relaxed to see her name as number one on the board.
"Ah, Yukari Sendo," a gravelly voice said from behind her.
The one who spoke was a teenage boy who was wearing the school uniform, minus the jacket and tie. He had dark skin, as if it was tanned. His eyes were slightly sunken in to his head while his hair was almost white. His two cronies were next to him, one chubby and the other thin. Both had pale skin with greasy hair. They shared the same style of uniform and the same sunken eyes as the first teen. The leader had an armband around his left arm.
"Class Representative?" the girl said, timidly.
"As usual, your scores are at the top of the class," the representative said snidely, looking up at the scores before turning to the eleven year old. "However, don't let it go to your head."
"Huh?" Yukari said.
"For example, your outfit!" he cried pointing a finger at her to make his point.
The chubbier or followers, eyed her up and down and chuckled perversely. "That uniform is against school rules. You should take it off."
"But...this was a gift from my parents," Yukari defended, taking a small step back.
The Class Rep shook his head in mock disapproval. "As your class representative, the fact that you're even here is enough to give me a headache. So save me the sob story, witch." That last word came out as a hiss.
The Rep and his goons all laughed, making the girl angry. Behind her, a pink heart-shaped wand with a blue pentagram appeared out of nowehere. The star glowed when she twitched it. Suddenly from out of the air, three golden wash pans fell and crashed into the rep and his cronies' heads, causing the three to fall to the ground in pain.
Yukari laughed aloud, pointing at the three. "Hahahaha! Serves you right you jerks."
The Class Rep snarled, glaring daggers at the girl. His eyes started to become yellow, and his fingertips became black and sharp. "Why you..." he snarled before charging at the girl, who was now frozen with fear. "I'll teach you to mess around with me, you prepubescent brat!"
Yukari closed her eyes, waiting for the blow. But it never came. Slowly she opened her eyes and was shocked to see Christian standing there, holding on to the rep's wrist, anger paving his features.
"You know, I think you should back off," Christian advised, venom slavering his words.
"Oh yeah?" the rep mocked.
"Yeah, no need for someone to get hurt," Christian retorted.
"You mean you?" the rep asked, smirking.
"I mean you and your goons back there." The rep's smirk disappeared.
The Class Rep growled, angry his prey was being taken from him, by the gaijin no less. "Listen to me, punk. It's three on one. You may have taken down Komiya, but you can't take us on in numbers. Besides, this is none of your business!"
"You made it my business when you began harassing a kid!" Christian countered. "Do you honestly think I'm going to just let you bully her when she can't fight back?"
"Do you even know what that girl is?" the rep hissed. "She's nothing but a filthy witch!"
Christian's glare would have terrified a smarter person. There was so much hatred in his eyes at that point it was unbelievable. "Do you think I care?! I happen to be good friends with a witch!" he shouted, thinking of Gwen Tennyson, Ben's superpowered cousin.
The rep growled again as the other two boys stepped forward. "Boys, looks like we need to show this...sympathiser, what happens to those who decide to side with witches."
"Christian!"
Yukari and the three bullies turned to see Moka and Kurumu running over to them. "What's going on?" Moka asked.
"These jerks decided it was a good idea to pick on this girl and this one nearly transformed to take a swipe at her," Christian replied, never taking his eyes of the Class Rep, keeping his wrist in a death grip.
"That's so cruel!" Moka cried, glaring angrily at the class rep.
"Let's teach 'em a lesson!" Kurumu exclaimed, pounding her fist in to her palm.
The Class Rep let out a frustrated growl. He was sure he and his cronies could have taken Christian and the witch, but now that Moka and Kurumu where there, he wasn't so sure. Not to mention this little 'spat' had attracted some unwanted attention. "Let's leave these sympathisers and the witch alone guys," he finally said to his cronies. He tried to leave but Christian was still holding on to his wrist. "Want to let go, gaijin?"
"Not until you apologise to her," Christian replied, motioning to Yukari.
"And if I don-Ahh!" Before he could finish, Christian twisted his wrist. "Fine! I'm sorry!" he shouted before Christian stopped twisting. However, he didn't let go. "I said sorry, let go!"
"Not before I do this," Christian said before pulling the wrist towards him with his left hand, bringing the rep closer to him before delivering a punch right between the guy's eyes, knocking him back. This shocked the girls; they had never seen their friend so angry before.
As The Rep was getting to his feet, slightly disorientated, Christian walked towards him and said, "If I ever hear or see you try that again, with anyone, you will answer to me. Do you understand?"
The Class Rep nodded his head slowly, angry and humiliated. With that, he and his goons slipped away.
Moka slowly walked up to Christian, worried about him. "Chris?" She asked touching his shoulder.
Christian turned to her, a wary smile on his face, his anger automatically diminished by seeing Moka. "I'm okay..." he said, although it didn't sound convincing. He then turned to face Yukari. "You okay?"
The girl just shook her head, still in shock.
"Maybe we should head inside," Moka offered, concerned for the young girl.
They all silently agreed. However, as they made their way inside, someone walked up and tapped Christian on the shoulder. Turning, Christian came face to face with a grinning boy. He had long black hair that was slightly spiky. He was quite thin with a little build up of muscle on his arms. His skin also had a light tan. His eyes were sky blue but Christian noticed a small scar over his left eye. He wore the complete male uniform.
"Hey man, that was awesome!" He exclaimed clapping Christian on the back.
"Uh...thank you," Christian replied, confused as to why this student had approached him.
"You totally showed those guys who was boss!" the stranger continued, oblivious to the awkward situation he had put Christian in. "You are completely the man, bro."
"Thanks...urr?" Christian started.
"Oh right, I didn't introduce myself did I," the stranger rubbed the back of his head, embarrassed . "The names Zackery Orion, but you can call me Zack."
"Okay. It's nice to meet you, Zack," Christian replied with a small smile, extending out his left hand for a hand shake. However, Zack grabbed the arm and began to admire the Omnitrix.
"Cool gizmo you got there," he commented, stars in his eyes. "Where did you get it, what's it do?" he asked.
Christian withdrew his arm and held on to where the Omnitrix was protectively. "It's...er...my limiter," he said quietly.
"Ohhh, how powerful a monster are you that you need a limiter?" Zack asked.
"Isn't that against the rules?" Christian replied.
"Yeah I guess," Zack admitted disappointedly.
"Umm... I have to go and catch up with my friends, but it was nice meeting you," Christian replied, gesturing to his waiting friends.
"Oh yeah, sorry for keeping you," Zack apologised before a smile appeared on his face. "Hey, maybe we could hang out sometime?"
"Maybe..." Christian replied, a little unsure about his answer.
His answer seemed to be enough for Zack though who was now grinning like a Cheshire cat. "Cool, we can hang out and go lady scouting." He then began to run off before Christian could protest. "See ya later Bro!" He called as he left.
"Wait!...and he's gone," Christian said weakly as he watched the boy go. Sighing he made his way back to the girls.
Upon reaching them, the four fell into step as they walked towards the cafeteria. As they walked Moka turned to ask Christian something. "Who was that guy you were talking to back there?"
"He was called Zack. He seems to be a nice guy," Christian told her.
"Maybe you two could be friends," Moka commented.
"Maybe..." Christian said, thinking about Zack and his friendly attitude. 'Perhaps I will take him up on his offer. Moka and Kurumu are great but it honestly would be good to have a guy to talk to every once and a while.'.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Once they had finally reached the cafeteria, the group sat Yukari down at a table and got her a drink while they waited for her to calm down. Once she was finally calm, they began a friendly chat.
"My name is Yukari Sendo. It's nice to meet you," the girl introduced herself.
"It's nice to meet you, Yukari. My name is Moka Akashiya and I must say your outfit rocks," Moka said with a smile.
"Kurumu Kurono."
"Christian Hawke. It's a pleasure to meet you," the Omnitrix teen said.
"I've heard of you guys," Yukari said. "The schools two most popular girls and the American Doppelganger who is able to transform into a collection of different monsters no one has ever seen before."
Another thing that had changed over the past few weeks was now, everyone thought he was some kind of 'super' Doppelganger. People had seen his fight with Kurumu as Astrodactyl and the rumour had spread like wildfire. Now they all believed the Omnitrix was his limiter that sealed his powers, like Moka's Rosario. Exactly how the Plumber's had planned.
"By the way Yukari, you seem awfully young. Did you skip a few grades?" Moka asked curiously.
"I skipped four grades," Yukari boasted. "I'm the smartest girl in this school!" She then looked at Moka and grew slightly nervous. "Although I'm nothing compared to you, Moka."
"Four grades?" Christian questioned. "That would make you...eleven years old. Wow! You really are a genius."
"Yep!" Yukari exclaimed. "Hey, is it true about what you said? You're actually friends with a witch?"
"Yeah," Christian replied. "We have been friends since childhood. Although I think she prefers the term, 'Sorceress'."
After that, Yukari lost interest in Christian and gave all her attention to the pinkette across from her.
"So, Moka...because of how pretty you are, you must have a ton of friend's, right?" Yukari asked nervously.
"Well actually..." Moka gestured towards Christian and Kurumu. "These guys are honestly the only friends I've ever had."
For a moment, Yukari seemed to shy away a little bit and gulped. "Well, in that case maybe you would..."
"Hm?" Moka asked, patiently waiting for the young girl to finish.
"Well...if it's okay with you..." Yukari spluttered. Suddenly she stood up and banged her hands on the table, surprising the other three teens. "Maybe you would like to be my friend?" She shouted nervously.
After recovering from the initial shock, a friendly smile appeared on Moka's face. "Well of course! I'd be happy to be friends with you," Moka replied.
Yukari's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Yay!" She suddenly jumped over the table and tackled Moka to the ground in a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Yukari cried over and over, snuggling close to Moka.
"Um...that's ok..." Moka said, nervous by what the girl was doing. Christian and Kurumu watched the display in a mixture of shock and amusement.
"She's an interesting one, isn't she?" Kurumu commented to Christian.
The only answer she received was a small nod from the boy. He was currently wondering what would happen if he told Zack they could be friends. He shuddered at the thought of the boy pulling him into a hug.
Unfortunately for Moka, she had no idea what she had just gotten herself into.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It was later, as she walked through the halls of the academy that Moka realised her mistake. Since they had left the cafeteria, Yukari had not let go of her and was currently hanging on to her waist as Moka dragged her down the halls. Of course, seeing someone who wasn't them so close to Moka caused all the boys to burn with envy.
"Why can't that be me?!" they cried as they watched.
"Moka you're amazing, I'm so happy that I'm your friend!" Yukari cried happily.
"Yukari...maybe you can let go, please? My legs are getting tired." Moka asked, desperate for some space.
"Hey, hold up!" A voice came from behind them.
Christian suddenly appeared behind them, a look of concern on his face. "Yukari, I know you and Moka are friends now, but maybe you should respect her personal space."
Moka looked at Christian with a face that screamed relief. If anyone could make Yukari understand she needed space, it was him.
"Christian Hawke. I knew you'd turn up," Yukari said in a surprisingly mature voice. "Age: fifthteen, build suiting someone who has gone through harsh, personal training. Grades: above average, Athletic ability: below average, Social skills: below average. Aside from the various monsters forms, which are clearly limited in selection and only accessible by your limiter, you have no amazing or useful skills whatsoever." Christian was beginning to get annoyed, he hadn't gone through two years training at the Plumber Academy and one month of training with the Omnitrix whilst learning Japanese to be talked down to by a kid. Yukari continued to push his buttons, finishing with, "Overall, I can't imagine a more half-baked guy."
Christian's right eye twitched as he ran those words through his mind over and over.
All of a sudden Yukari let go of Moka, much to the latter's relief, and turned to face Christian defiantly. "That is why I cannot let someone like you defile my friend." She pulled out her wand. "So I declare war on you!" she proclaimed, pointing her wand at the confused Christian. It began to glow as Yukari started chanting.
"Magic wand, brooms and buckets, magic wand, brooms and buckets...Abra Kadabra!"
Suddenly the cleaning supplies inside the caretaker's closet sprung to life. They flew out into the corridor and surrounded the unsuspecting Christian and began to beat on him. After a couple of hits, Christian got annoyed and grabbed one of the brooms that was hitting him and used it to beat away the other supplies. He then got into a swordfight with another broom.
At the side, Moka watched worriedly as her friend fought the possessed cleaning supply. Yukari was next to her, laughing her head off.
As Christian fought the other broom, a bucket floated through the air until it was just above the teens head. It then dropped, covering his eyes and stopping him from being able to fight back. The broom he had been fighting took the chance to knock Christian off his feet, knock him to the ground, prompting the other supplies to continue their earlier assault.
Moka gasped and turned to Yukari, who was still laughing. "Yukari please stop!" she cried. "What have you done to those supplies anyway?"
Yukari finally stopped laughing and stood triumphantly, watching Christian struggle.
"I used magic to make the brooms move," she explained proudly.
"Magic?" Both Moka and Christian asked, the latter still trying to get the bucket off his head in order to fend for himself. Yukari stopped the assault and with one wave of her wand. A wash pan fell on Christian's head, finishing him off. She then began to explain herself.
"I'm a witch; it's sort of my thing. As long as me and my wand are around, I will never let you anyway near Moka, Christian Hawke." With that, Yukari the proceeded to drag poor Moka away while Christian continued to struggle with the bucket on his head.
However, unnoticed by the three, the goons from earlier were hiding behind a corner and had heard everything, including Yukari's little announcement.
"She just revealed her monster identity; that's against the rules," the chubby one mumbled.
"That witch is really beginning to piss me off," the skinny one added.
The Class Rep was calmer. He leaned against the back of the wall and smirked. "Boys, I think it's time...we got rid of this pest.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Upon removing the bucket from his head, Christian made his way to the infirmary to get his bruises cleaned. Luckily Kurumu was there, Christian had no idea why though. Anyway, she was more than happy to help. The two were currently sitting down on one of the beds in the room.
"Ow!" Christian winced.
"Sorry," Kurumu replied.
"It's alright," Christian replied. "I'm just annoyed I let myself be beaten up by the broom brigade," he told Kurumu with a sigh. "Not to mention I can't hang out with Moka without Yukari attacking me."
Kurumu's eyes widened. On the inside, she began to celebrate. 'Yahoohoo! Way to go Yukari!' she thought. Kurumu then got on her hands and knees and began to crawl towards Christian in a slow sexual way. "You know, I've heard things about Yukari," she said.
"Re...really?" Christian asked nervously, noticing what the girl was doing.
"I heard she skipped a few grades because she's your regular child prodigy." Kurumu said, continuously inching towards Christian. "But she's kind of a childish brat, always pulling pranks on her classmates." She was almost on top of Christian, closing in on his face. "Everyone in her classroom hates her; I guess that's what to expect from a child genius."
"What?" Christian said, pulling away and disappointing Kurumu. He felt sorry for Yukari; he knew how it felt to be hated.
Little did the two teens know, Yukari was outside, underneath the infirmary window. "Christian, my rival, I will not allow someone like you to tarnish Moka's good reputation."
She pulled out a small doll made of straw with a small paper face attached. "You're going to face the wrath of my voodoo doll! Just put in a small bit of his hair and...done," she said as she placed a single strand of Christian's hair into the doll. She then forced it's left arm to punch the head.
Back inside the infirmary, Christian suddenly unleashed a left hook to his own face, nearly knocking himself out. Kurumu paled as she got up to check on him. "Christian! Are you alright?" She asked him.
Outside, Yukari was laughing like crazy. "Moka will never be yours, Christian Hawke. You can have balloon chest instead." She moved the voodoo doll again. "Play with her for a bit," she said cheekily.
Back inside, Moka had finally found her way to the infirmary, opening the door with a sigh. "Hey guys. I finally got away from Yukari. She just wouldn't let up on..." Moka trailed off after seeing the scene in front of her. There on the bed, Christian was grabbing Kurumu's chest. While Kurumu looked to be enjoying it, Christian seemed to be in complete shock. Blushing at the sight, Moka turned away. "What are you two doing!?" Moka exclaimed, catching her friend's attentions.
"Moka, it's not what you think!" Christian cried, although he didn't stop fondling Kurumu.
"Then what?-" Moka began to question before a voice came from the other side of the window.
"Ha ha! I showed you!" Yukari cried, appearing on the other side of the window. She then saw everyone looking at her angrily. "Uh, oh." As she had stopped moving the voodoo doll, Christian was now back in control of his body.
There was a sudden green flash from inside the room and before Yukari knew it, she was standing in the infirmary with Moka and Kurumu and a weird creature resembling a semi-armoured veliraptor with three pointed fingers on each hand. It seemed to have black wheels on its feet and wore helmet with a visor. The visor came up and Yukari could see that it had a blue face, green eyes, black lips, and stripes above and on the right side of his eyes. It had an hour glass symbol on its chest. It had five blue stripes on its tail. It touched the hour glass symbol and there was another bright flash and Christian stood where the creature once had, an angry look on his face.
"I'm busted aren't I?" Yukari asked.

After Christian had caught Yukari, he and the other two girls took her to one of the empty classrooms to have a little 'chat'. Yukari hid behind Moka as Christian angrily stared at her. A wise decision on the girl's part.
"First of all, Yukari, you need to apologise to both me and Kurumu for what you did," Christian said sternly.
Kurumu blushed. "Actually, it didn't bother me at all," she admitted.
"You're not helping," Christian sighed, a bead of sweat falling down his brow.
"Look, Chris, I know you're angry," Moka said, trying to defend Yukari. "But just remember, she's just a little girl."
"I know that Moka," Christian said before turning his attention to the cowering witch. "Listen Yukari, if you keep this up then no one is going to want to be your friend. You have to use your magic more responsibly."
The witch waved off what he said like it was nothing. "Who cares? I'm a genius. If others aren't at my level of intelligence why should I waste my time with them anyway?" She then stopped and looked at Christian sadly. "Besides...what's the big deal? I've always been alone."
"Yukari..." Christian said sadly, now concerned for the girl.
It didn't last long. With another wave of her wand, a bath pan once again fell on his head.
Yukari then ran out of the room laughing. "Hahahahahaha! I can't believe you fell for that!" she cried as she disappeared.
"Yukari!" Moka called after her as ran after her.
"Always been alone...?" Christian wondered as he got off the floor rubbing his head.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As she ran, Yukari continued to laugh at what she had one to Christian. However, the things the teen had said to her were still present in her mind and the words began to echo in her head. She then began to remember the words of hatred and disgust she had heard her classmates say behind her back.
So she's a witch?
How can this be? What's a filthy border being doing in our school?
All she does is read books and cast spells. She is nothing but a freak!
Aren't witches closer to humans then monsters anyway?
She has no right even being in this school!
Yeah, there's no need for her at all.
I bet she used magic to get good grades.
Yukari's run slowed until she had stopped completely. A single tear ran down her face as she remembered the words of all the voices. "Even if I am alone...I'm fine with it. Who needs friends anyway?" she muttered as she tried to dry her tears.
She began to walk forward again, only to be knocked to the ground as she walked in to somebody.
"Ow! Hey! Watch where you're going you moron!" she yelled at the person who knocked her over.
"Compared to you, everyone is a moron now aren't they?"said a familiar voice
Yukari looked up to see the Class Rep and his goons standing above her, glaring down angrily. "Class representative!?"
"You've been breaking the rules, Yukari," the Class Rep said menacingly, stepping towards the young girl. "And it's our job to punish those who break the rules." Yukari's eyes widened in fear as she realised what was to come. "I think it's time we had a little 'chat'." The Class Rep continued with a sinister smirk. He then grabbed hold of Yukari's wrist and proceeded to drag the struggling girl into the forest.
However these actions did not go unnoticed by a passing by boy with spiky black hair and a scar over one of his eyes.
"I'd better get help." Zack said to himself as he began to run towards the school building. "And I know just who can."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Back in the classroom, Christian and Kurumu were talking about Yukari.
"Border beings?" the teen repeated what Kurumu just told him. "What do you mean?"
"You mean you don't know?" Kurumu asked, surprised. "I thought you were friends with a witch?"
"It never came up," he said. He couldn't tell her that Gwen Tennyson, his friend he said was a witch, was actually a human who learned to perform magic.
"Well, witches are considered outcasts since they are neither human nor monster. A long time ago, they were considered the link between the two but as time went on, that was forgotten, and they just became considered half monsters. They're not all that well liked in the human world either." Kurumu explained, making Christian feel a bit guilty. He knew Kurumu was referring to the Salem Witch trials. "In fact," Kurumu continued. "Yukari's been harassed by her classmates because of that. It's worse because she's a lot smarter than them and she's only eleven. When that happened she started playing pranks to get back at her classmates. I guess she's been this way since the beginning, with no one to relate to her she must have always been alone."
Christian looked down at the ground sadly. How could he have not seen it? When he was at the Plumber Academy he had faced the same kind of discrimination because he was human. He had been mocked, ridiculed and insulted. The only difference between Yukari and himself was that she had retaliated.
"She's like me," Christian murmured. However, Kurumu heard.
"Don't be silly! You have me!" she exclaimed as she went to hug him, but Christian had already gotten up and began to leave. "Where are you going?" Kurumu asked, following him.
"We have to find her!" Christian called back. "Where do you think she wou-ouf" he started to say before colliding with someone turning a corner. Recovering quickly, Christian looked to see who he had hit, only to find Zack looking more worried than in pain. "Zack! I'm sorry I didn't see you there. Are you okay?"
Zack quickly got off the ground and grabbed Christian's right wrist and began to drag him outside. "No time," he said breathlessly. "We have to get to the forest!"
"Why do we have to go there?" Kurumu asked as she followed after the two boys.
"I just saw the rep from earlier and his cronies drag that witch girl into the forest. I have a really bad feeling they are going to do something terrible to her." Zack said as he dragged Christian. However, the plumber teen had stopped, almost making Zack fall over. He was about to turn around and protest when he noticed the boy's eyes. They were filled with anger and hatred.
"What?" Christian asked in a monotone voice.
"Christian?" Kurumu asked, noticing the sudden change in the teen's attitude.
"I saw the Rep from earlier dragging off that girl they were hassling into the forest. I think they are planning to hurt her," Zack repeated, a little nervously, also noticing the change.
"Where do you think they were headed?" Christian asked still in the same tone of voice.
"Probably pretty far in," Zack said. "There won't be many people and the fog will cover them so anyone who is around won't be able to see who they are."
The teen nodded before walking over to one of the windows and opening it.
"Bro, what are you doing?" Zack asked.
"Chris, we have to go," Kurumu said, watching Christian as he looked out the window.
"I know," he stated, not looking away from the open window, "I'll meet you guys there. I can get there faster on my own."
"But-" Kurumu tried to protest. However, Christian had already jumped. "Christian!" the succubus cried as she and Zack ran to the window just in time to see a green flash and Astrodactyl fly off towards the forest.
"That was awesome!" Zack exclaimed, stars in his eyes.
"There's no time for that!" Kurumu shouted back, already beginning to transform, her wings bursting out of her back. "We need to go after him."
"Right!" Zack agreed with a nod before getting slightly nervous. "Er...mind giving me a lift?"
"Ugh!" Kurumu groaned as she grabbed Zack underneath his armpits and with a flap of her wings, the two flew out of the window after their friend.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Inside the forest, the trio of thugs had drug Yukari out to the lake area of the school. The place was far enough from the campus that no one would be able to hear anything that went on and due to the fog no one could see them.
"Ow!" Yukari cried as the Rep threw against a tree. "What's your problem you stupid jerks? That hurt!"
"That hurt, that hurt," the scrawnier of the three taunted before he snarled. "Why don't you go cry about it."
"That voice of yours is really annoying!" the chubby one added.
"You don't know how long I've been waiting for this," the Rep hissed as he licked his lips. "A little freak like you has no place here!"
All three of the boys began to transform. Their skin cracked and turned green as their faces elongated. Their hands turned into claws and their eyes became yellow and slitted, along with a long reptilian tail shooting out from behind.
They were lizardmen.
"Back off!" Yukari cried, slightly shaking as she drew her wand and swing it around as she began a magic chant.
"Magic wand attack, magic wand attack, magic wa-!" Yukari was unable to finish her chant as the class rep lunged forward and bit off the top of her wand.
Yukari was surprised as she looked down at the stump of a stick that was her wand.
"Disgusting!" the Class Rep said spitting out the other half of the wand.
"What should we do with her, boss?" The chubby reptile said.
"I say we eat her," answered the skinny one. "The fogs so thick no one will see us."
"Yeah, she may be a prepubescent little brat but at least it will get the taste of that wand out my mouth," the rep agreed.
Yukari screamed in terror. "Please, someone help me!"
"Stay away from her!"
The lizardmen turned around to see Moka standing a few feet away.
"You again!?" The rep shouted.
"We should eat her too," the skinny one said.
"No one will notice," the fat one reiterated.
"Agreed," the rep growled.
"Please Moka, run! I can handle these guys!" Yukari cried desperately.
"You've got to stop doing that, Yukari!" Moka retorted. Then to the lizardmens surprise, she walked straight past them. She didn't even register their presence as she smiled warmly at the witch, almost like an older sister. "If you're scared then there's nothing wrong with asking the others for help," Moka said calmly, making her way over to the young witch. She stopped a few inches away from Yukari and knelt down until they were at eye level. "You're still a little kid, so don't push yourself too hard."
"I'm not a little kid!" Yukari protested.
"Maybe, but the truth is, you were lonely before me and the others came, weren't you?" Moka guessed, hitting the nail on the head. "You don't have to be so defensive around Christian either. He knows exactly what you are going through."
"No, he doesn't," Yukari argued, irritated Moka was defending her rival. "He doesn't know anything! He's got it easy; he's got so many forms he doesn't need to worry about being accepted."
"You're wrong." .
"Huh?"
"Before he coming to this one, Christian went to another school where he was treated in exactly the same way your being treated now. He faces the same kind of discrimination here as well, just because he's an American," Moka explained, pulling Yukari into a hug. "But, despite everything people say and how badly they treat him, he will do everything in his power to help others. Just like how he rescued you earlier.
Yukari then remembered it was Christian who had saved her from the reps attack earlier. She also realised that in the classroom, he had been trying to help her, only being concerned about her well being. The realisation of how badly she had treated someone who had protected her hit the girl hard. She buried her face into Moka's chest and began to cry.
However, it wasn't emotional for everybody. The three lizardmen just stood there, their eyes twitching, angry about being forgotten.
"What the hell? When did this become a soap opera?!" the skinny one yelled.
"They completely forgot about us!" the chubby one yelled.
The Class Rep shook his head with anger. After a few seconds he had finally had enough. "Hey, you!" he shouted to get the girls attention. "We're not going to let this go unfinished!" He then charged at the girls, claws and teeth exposed as he roared at the girls. "Let's chow down!"
But before he reached them, something caught his hand. He looked to his hand to see a whip of green energy wrapped around his arm. Following it into the air he saw Astrodactyl hoovering above them, looking very angry.
"Hawke!"
Astrodactyl said nothing. With a sharp yank of his arm, he swung the rep around into his cronies and sent them all flying back. he then flew down to Moka and Yukari and landed in front of them. In a flash of green light, he reverted back into his .
"Are you two alright?" He asked, looking over the two for injuries.
"We're fine." Moka told him, letting go of Yukari but keeping her close. "You showed up just in time."
"Good," Christian said before turning his attention to the recovering Lizardmen. "I thought I warned you idiots not to try anything like this again."
"Get out of our way!" The class rep shouted back once he was off the ground. He pointed to Christian. "I don't care if the rumours they say about you are true! Do you honestly think you can interfere with us defending school rules?"
Christian ignored the outburst. He turned back to Moka, a serious look on his face. "Do you want to help me teach these guys a lesson?"
Moka seemed surprised by the question before she nodded with determination. "Let's do it."
Without further encouragement , Christian took hold of the Rosario and with a look of trust between the two friends, he ripped it away from the choker. A monstrous aura erupted as Moka began to transform. Yukari was amazed at Moka's beauty and power.
Over with the lizardmen, the monsters were panicking as they watched the transformation. The Class Rep whimpered, "That demonic aura, the overflowing energy! It's soul crushing!"
Once Inner Moka's transformation was complete, she stood confidently next to Christian, glaring at reptilian douches with cold, unforgiving eyes.
"I take it these are the ones who wish to harm this girl?" Inner Moka asked.
"Yeah," Christian confirmed with a nod of his head. "You take Laurel and Hardy over there. The ring leader's mine."
Inner Moka was about to remind Christian she was not one to take orders, however, when she saw the look of aggression in his's eyes, she stopped. "Very well," she agreed, still very annoyed. "However, you will not give me orders again."
"Fine, let's just do this."
Inner Moka looked at Christian with, surprisingly, concern before shaking it off and walked towards the two goons. "So, I think it's time you learned your place." She told the cowering lizardmen who had been trying to make an unseen get away.
Watching Inner Moka begin her 'work', Christian turned his attention back to the Rep who was glaring daggers at Christian. "You think that you can take me on your own." The Rep mocked. "You should have let the vampire deal with me because now, you're going to die."
Christian began to walk towards the Class Rep, ignoring his words. Yukari watched Christian fearlessly walk towards the Rep and grew curious. Why was he so confident when fighting a clearly stronger foe? She understood why Moka was calm, but why him?
"You think that just because I'm on my own and I'm not in a monster form? You are nothing more than a bully; you pick on those weaker than you just to make yourself seem strong. So now I think it's time you tasted some of your own medicine." Christian said, activating the Omnitrix and dialling through the aliens until he came to the one he wanted.
"Oh yeah. And who's going to do that?" The Rep continued to mock, trying to not let Christian see he was now nervous.
"This guy!" he slammed his fist down on the Omnitrix. The clearing around the lake was covered in a green light as Christian transformed. When the light had faded, a huge dinosaur like creature stood where Christian once had.
"Humungousaur!"
Humungousaur was about 12 feet tall. His skin was a hard, scaled and a sort of beige colour. He looked like a somewhat humanoid T-Rex. He wore black briefs and had a green sash type thing around his body. The Omnitrix symbol was on the sash.
The rep stared at the titan in front of him and gulped, realising his mistake.
"You scared," Humungousaur mocked, looking down at the monster in front of him. "You should be." Suddenly Humungousaur brought his fist down towards the reptilian monster. The rep cowered expecting a blow; instead he heard nothing but a loud crash beside him and the earth shake. Looking up, the rep saw that instead of him, the alien had smashed a hole in the tree behind him, causing it to fall over. Retracting his fist, the large alien brought his face down until his eyes were level with the rep's. "This is your last warning. Try anything like this again and I won't hold back." With that, Humungousaur got up and walked back towards Inner Moka, who had long finished with the goons and had been watching the show with amusement.
"Christian!"
Both alien and vampire looked up to see Kurumu flying towards them, carrying Zack. Upon landing, Zack stared at Humungousaur and Inner Moka with awe. He then ran over and began to look the two over. "Woah! You guys look awesome!"
"Thanks..." Humungousaur said nervously as Zack picked up and dropped his tail.
"Hawke, who is this?" Inner Moka asked, becoming irritated by the teen's fan boy moment.
"Moka, this is Zack Orion. He's the one who told me Yukari was in trouble," Humungousaur explained.
"Well get him to back off," Inner Moka replied as Zack got in her face to look at her eyes.
Upon hearing her complaint, Zack backed up a little. "Sorry. Just got excited, you know?" he explained.
Yukari made her way timidly to the group. Upon seeing her, Humungousaur smiled. "You okay?"
Yukari nodded her head. As she did so Kurumu used her wings to fly up and give Humungousaur a hug around his neck. "I bet you were awesome in that fight. I can't believe I missed it," she whined.
"I didn't really fight him. I just gave him a warning."
"You're too soft if you ask me," Inner Moka said. "You should have taught him his place like I did with the other two."
"By the way, where are they?" Yukari asked. She had not been watching Inner Moka's fight for very long.
Inner Moka pointed above them. The others followed her finger and saw the other two lizardmen hanging limply from the tree.
"That's a weird way to decorate." Zack quipped.
Yukari looked back down and at the people who had saved her. "Why?" she asked, catching the others attention. "Why did you help me?"
"Aren't you supposed to be a genius or something?" Kurumu said with a sigh. "We may not have gotten off on the best foot, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends."
"She's right," Humungousaur said to the young witch. "I am pretty much the odd guy out considering I'm an English guy from the US."
"Well actually, I'm half American myself," Zack interjected.
"Really?" Humungousaur asked surprised.
"Yeah, my dad was American while my mom was Japanese."
"That's cool, but we're kind of trying to do something here," Kurumu said with a sweat drop.
"Right, my bad," Zack said rubbing the back of his head. He then turned to Yukari. "Listen Yukari, I know that your life has been hard, but these guys seem to care about you. And I know you don't know me, but I would like to be your friend as well."
Yukari looked to see if Inner Moka was going to add anything. However, the proud vampire simply crossed her arms and turned to the side. But she looked calm and relaxed, not annoyed.
Yukari blinked, and then started to sniffle before she broke out crying all together. She ran over to Humungousaur and hugged his leg as that was as far as she could reach. Humungousaur brought down his hand and gently patted the girls back, comforting her. The young witch continued to cry loudly. She was happy at this point. She finally had friends who liked her.
When Yukari let go of Humungousaur, she wiped away her tears and smiled at the titan, who returned her smile. Humungousaur then turned to Moka and handed her the Rosario, which had been in his hand the entire time.
"Thank you Moka. It's good to know we can always rely on you," the alien said to her, making Kurumu and surprisingly Yukari slightly jealous.
Inner Moka didn't say anything as she took the Rosario and moved to place it back on the choker. However just before she did, Inner Moka looked to Humungousaur.
"Hawke. You showed courage and determination standing up to me."
"Thank...you."
"Don't do it again."
"Yes ma'am."
With that Inner Moka reapplied the Rosario and undid her transformation. Humungousaur reached out, ready to catch the Outer Moka expecting her to fall unconscious; however she seemed to be fine.
"Are you okay?" the alien asked.
"Yeah..." Moka replied a little tiredly. "Just a little sleepy. Are you okay Yukari?"
The witch nodded happily, smiling politely. The four began to have a friendly conversation; completely oblivious to the still transformed Class Rep, whose anger was reaching new peaks. Not only had he once again been humiliated by the gaijin, but now he was being ignored again while the gaijin was having a friendly chat, gloating in the Reps defeat.
He couldn't take it anymore, despite Humungousaur's warning, the rep charged at Yukari, desperate to strike a killing blow to the girl. "I HAVE HAD ENOUGH, I WILL NOT BE SHOWN UP BY A FILTHY WITCH!" he screamed as he extended his claws. Yukari turned around too slowly, she would not have been able to dodge the attack. Then, just before the claws struck, Moka pushed Yukari out of the way, but not without consequence. The claw tore at Moka's back, slicing through the cloth and tearing at the skin. Time seemed to slow as Moka hit the ground, falling unconscious, blood seeping through the remains of the back of her jacket. For a minute no one moved, shock over taking them all.
"MOKA!" screamed Yukari and Kurumu
The Class Rep stared at Moka with anger. "You bitch! How dare you get in the way of my-" The class rep was interrupted by Humungousaur punching the Rep, sending him flying from where he was all the way across the ground until he crashed into a tree at the other end of the area. The Rep fell to his knees and coughed up blood, wounded from the attack.
While the girls tended to Moka, Zack was watching Humungousaur as he walked slowly towards the Rep, his features hidden as he looked towards the ground.
The Rep staggered to his feet only to be knocked down again by Humungousaur.
"How dare you!" Humungousaur roared as he tried to deliver another punch to the Rep, who had luckily rolled out the way just in time.
Zack watched Humungousaur nervously. He hadn't known Christian that long, but he knew it wasn't like him to beat on an enemy. "Bro! Calm down!" he cried out, trying to get Humungousaur's attention and failing. Kurumu looked up from the injured Moka to see the alien's rage. She automatically grew worried as she watched the boy she loved beat down the weaker foe.
"What's wrong with him?"
Back with Humungousaur, the alien was in a rage, nothing was getting through to him as he thought of Moka being hurt. And every time the Rep dodged one of his attacks his anger grew.
"ENOUGH!" Humungousaur bellowed, scaring everybody. "IT'S TIME TO END THIS!" He moved his hand to the symbol on his sash. For a moment, Kurumu believed that he was going to turn into another one of his monsters, but then Humungousaur turned the symbol clockwise and smacked it.
Four spikes protruded from the Omnitrix and a green wave of energy swept over Humungousaur, transforming him further. Humungousaur grew a few extra feet and his scales changed colour, becoming green. Armour appeared on his body and his fingers grew claws.
"ULTIMATE HUMUNGOUSAUR!" The evolved Vaxasaurian bellowed, shaking the area around him.
Ultimate Humungousaur was an ankylosaurus-like creature, having grown to 20 feet. He was now green and had silver spikes growing out of the sides of his head. Ultimate Humungousaur possessed a dark blue, spiked shell on his back. His torso was dark blue with spikes on them. His tail had a mace on the end of it, with silver spikes. His knuckles had barrels on them. The evolved Omnitrix symbol was on his chest.
Everyone stared in shock at the new form as new fear ran though them. However, they were all thinking the same thing. The Class Rep was screwed.
The Lizardman stared at the dinosaur like creature in front of him and wet himself. His eyes were bulging with fear. "I'm so-" he was cut off as Ultimate Humungousaur pounded him into the ground. Then the evolved alien retracted his fist and pounded the Rep again with the other. This cycle continued three more times as his friends watched on in horror. They couldn't believe he was being so brutal. The Class Rep was already unconscious and if this continued Christian was going to kill him. But none of them knew how to stop him.
It was at this point Moka began to wake up, groaning from the injury on her back. "Moka!" Yukari cried, relieved that her friend was alright. Upon hearing the witches exclamation, Kurumu and Zack turned to see the vampire girl getting to her feet.
"Are you okay?" Kurumu asked, concerned.
"Yeah, don't push yourself," Zack added.
"I-I'm fine." Moka said weakly. She then felt the impact as Ultimate Humungousaur delivered another blow. Moka looked over in shock to see the evolved alien beating down on the Rep. "Is-is that Christian?" She asked, slightly scared.
Yukari nodded her head. "After the Class Rep hurt you, Christian went mental. I think he did something to power up his Humungousaur form and then he began to beat down the Rep." She explained.
"He was angry before, but as soon as he entered that form he went crazy," Zack told the pink haired girl.
"I've never seen him like this," Kurumu gasped. "This isn't the same person I fell in love with."
"We have to stop him!" Zack exclaimed, running forward towards the dinosaur like titan. "Bro! Christian! You need to stop this! He's had enough!" He tried to reason. "If you continue then you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
Ultimate Humungousaur stopped his beat down for a second and glared at the boy in front of him.
"And what do you know?" he shouted. "You only met me today!"
"I know you better than you think!" Zack retorted. "I know why you fight, why you do everything you do! I know what it feels like to lose someone important to me and I know the feeling of hatred you are feeling right now!" He then moved until he was between Ultimate Humungousaur and the class rep. "Calm down, you don't have to do this, because if you do you will become just like him," Zack said, pointing to the lizardman.
Ultimate Humungousaur looked at Zack for few moments, his expression softening slightly before it once again hardened. With one hand, he picked up Zack and pinned him against the ground with his left hand. Then he pointed his right hand at the Rep's unconscious form. The hand suddenly transformed into a four barrelled cannon like weapon. "You may have a point," the alien admitted. "But I have had enough of people like him in my life! It's time I wipe them out!"
"Stop!"
Ultimate Humungousaur stalled, looking over to the source of the voice to see Moka, with the help of Kurumu and Yukari, stagger towards him.
"Please stop this Christian," she pleaded. "Zack's right, you don't want to do this."
"You will regret it for the rest of your life," Kurumu added.
"Not to mention that you will be expelled or worse!" Yukari continued.
"Moka...Kurumu...Yukari..." Ultimate Humungousaur said slowly.
Moka then broke free of the hold of Kurumu and Yukari and made her way weakly towards her friend. "You don't have to this," she said gently as she reached him, tears were in her eyes. "I'm fine, see? Please go back to being the person I know."
Ultimate Humungousaur listened to Moka and felt conflicted. On the one hand, he knew everyone was right and if he did kill the Rep, he was going to regret it forever. On the other, there was a part of him telling him to do it and get revenge for all the times he had been bullied in the past. He knew which side was right.
The alien roared into the air, scaring everyone. He released Zack and transformed his other arm into a second cannon.
"CHRISTIAN!" everyone screamed, fearing what he was going to do.
Ultimate Humungousaur threw his hands up into the air and sent green missiles of energy into the air, letting out a mighty roar.
Once he had stopped, the mighty alien fell to his knees and in a green flash, the regular Humungousaur was once again present. Then in another he was replaced with Christian, who was crying with tears streaming down his face.
Moka automatically ran over and pulled Christian into a hug and helped him to comfort him. Her own tears trickled down her face. She was soon followed by Kurumu and Yukari, both running over to the boy and embracing him, tears rolling down their own faces.
Zack, who had now gotten off the ground, stood smiling at the scene. He was happy that the person he considered a friend was okay and back in his right mind. He then realised the Class Rep was going to need medical attention. He quickly ran over to the broken body of the Class Rep and checked him over. 'This is bad. It feels like most of his bones are broken.' He looked over to the still crying Christian and the girls surrounding him. 'He has so much power. That's quite impressive...especially for a human.' He looked down to Christian's exposed wrist, the Omnitrix showing. Zack stared at it for a minute greedily before deciding it could wait. For now, there was another task at hand.
"Guys! We need to get this guy to the infirmary right now!" Zack told them. Christian looked at what he had done to the Rep in horror. The body looked mangled, the arms sticking out at weird angles and blood oozing from wounds that Ultimate Humungousaur had inflicted.
Christian felt sick. "I-I did that?" he asked. It had felt like he wasn't completely control of his last alien form and he couldn't clearly remember what he had done. He broke free of the girls holds and once again fell to a kneeling position on the ground, looking down at the ground in shock, afraid of himself.
Moka saw this and realised that Christian was in no state to go anywhere at the minute. So she decided to take charge. Standing up she turned to the other two girls. "Kurumu, Yukari, help Zack get the Rep to the infirmary now." She said.
"What about you?" Yukari asked.
"I'm going to stay here and make sure Christian is okay and try to get him back to his dorm, it doesn't look like he is going to be able to do anything else for a while."
"Oh, no!" Kurumu cried. "I am not going to leave you alone with my destined one! Besides, you're still hurt from earlier."
"This is not up for discussion Kurumu!" Moka shouted back, not in the mood for Kurumu's nonsense. "You're the fastest out of the three of us, you need to fly back to the academy and get them ready to receive a patient!"
"We also need to get someone to come and fetch them," Zack added, using his thumb to point at the two unconscious bodies in the tree.
"Fine..." Kurumu conceded, spreading her wings and took to the air, however before she left, she shouted to Moka, "However, you better not try anything!" With that, she was gone, flying at high speeds towards the school.
After that, Zack walked towards the Rep and gently picked up his body. "C'mon Yukari, we need to get this guy back to the school fast." He said to the witch.
The girl nodded, slightly unhappy about having to help the guy who had tried to kill her and her new friends. She ran over to help carry the the rep with Zack. "Let's go, this guy is heavy!" she exclaimed as they began to run back towards the school.
This left only Moka and the seemingly paralysed Christian. The pinkette walked over to him and knelt down, trying to comfort the teen.
"Christian..." He didn't reply. His hair shadowed his eyes. "Please, Chris, talk to me," Moka said soothingly trying to help him up. However, to her shock, he battered away her hand with his own. "Christian...?"
"Don't, Please..." Christian muttered weakly. "Why are you being so nice to me?" He asked.
"Because you're my friend," Moka justified. "And you didn't do anything wrong."
"Didn't do anything wrong...?" Christian repeated slowly. "Did you not see what I did to that guy?! I practically killed him!"
"But you didn't," Moka responded. "You were able to stop yourself." Tears were beginning to reform in her eyes.
"Only because you and the others managed to calm me down!" Christian countered. "If you hadn't, then I know I would have killed him!"
Moka couldn't take it anymore and reached forward, surprising Christian as she wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled him into a hug. Christian couldn't understand why she was doing it.
"Please don't talk like that." Moka said softly, her face now behind his. "I hate that you're talking about yourself in this way."
"But...how can I claim to want human-monster coexistence if I almost killed one?" Christian asked. "Maybe I should just give up and go home?"
Moka's eyes widened at the comment. "No!" she cried, pulling back from the hug and looked Christian directly in the eyes. "You can't leave!" She cried. "Do you have any idea what that would do to Kurumu and Yukari? They would be devastated! Not to mention how I would feel! I would be heartbroken if you left! You are the greatest friend I've ever had and I want you to stay in my life!" She told him, deep red.
Christian shared her colour. The two looked at each other in silence for a few more moments before Christian finally found the strength to lift himself from the ground. "Moka, you're also the greatest friend I've ever had." He admitted. "When that guy hurt you, I feared the worst and I snapped. I was afraid that someone else I cared about had been taken from me and I reacted badly."
"Chris..." Moka started. She wanted to ask him what he meant when he said that someone had been 'taken' from him but sensed it wasn't the time.
Christian then reached his hand out to the girl on the floor. "C'mon, I feel better now," he lied. "Let's go home and get some rest. I get the feeling it's going to be a long day tomorrow."
Moka, hesitatingly, took the hand and smiled at the warmth she could feel, her blush returning. Christian was blushing as well. And then the two friends began to make their way back towards the dorms. Their hand's never separating until they reached their destination. Once there, the two friends said a regretful goodbye for the day and made their way to their respective rooms.
Once Christian had entered his, he slumped against the back of the door and punched the floor in frustration. With nothing else to do, he made himself some dinner, reported the day's activities to the Plumbers, including his moment of madness. No doubt he would get hell about that as well. He then had a wash before changing into his nightclothes and making his way to bed, just wanting the day to end.
Unfortunately for Christian, he didn't get his wish because around midnight, someone knocked on his door. Groggily, Christian put on a dressing gown that he had with him and made his way to the door. He opened it without bothering to check the peephole, he knew this could only be related to one thing. What he didn't expect was to see Zack standing there in casual attire. Christian noted Zack's outfit consisted of a hooded black jacket with red flames and blue lines and a red T-shirt with a white tank top inside. On his hands was a pair of black leather gloves. He wore a pair of blue pocket pants. There were black sneakers with sliver and blue lines on his feet.
"Hey Bro," he greeted cheerfully despite Christian's mood.
"Hey," Christian returned, stepping aside so Zack could come in. "I assume this isn't a social visit."
"Yep," Zack confirmed, nodding his head.
"You may as well come in then," Christian responded, gesturing for him to come inside.
"Thanks," Zack replied entering the room, admiring it for a few seconds before he went to sit at the table in the room.
Christian followed him and sat opposite Zack. "So.." he started, fearing the answer. "What happened to the rep?"
"Well, at the moment he's in critical condition. Pretty much every bone in his body is broken." Christian visibly winced. "But the doctors believe that with a little time, and a lot of pain killers and physical therapy, he should make a full recovery. Isn't a monster's healing ability grand?"
Christian relaxed after hearing that. Even though the Rep was a scum bag, he didn't deserve to die. "That's good." Christian told him.
"However, there is something I have to tell you," Zack said, regret in his voice.
Christian looked up at Zack with a questioning look. "What? Am I being expelled for almost killing a student?"
Zack shook his head, surprising Christian.
"You are being punished. However, Yukari explained what happened out in the woods and your actions were deemed reasonable. Unfortunately though, you are still being suspended."
"Well I guess I didn't expect to get off without a consequence," Christian replied. "How long?"
"Two days, so not that long." Zack explained. "By the way, Kurumu and Yukari went home after they dropped off the Rep, they wanted to see you but I managed to persuade them to wait until after your suspension was over." Zack told him.
"Thanks, I'm not really in the right mood to see anyone at the moment." Christian replied gratefully.
"I guess that means I should leave then." Zack assumed, getting up.
"Probably..." Christian said before one small smile appeared on his face. "But... after I get back from suspension, we could hang out," he suggested.
Zack's smile widened. "So, are we friends now?" He asked.
Christian nodded his head. "Dude, we became friends when you told me where to find Yukari." He told Zack stretching out his right hand for Zack to shake, which the boy gladly did.
After that, Zack left the room saying, "I'll see you in two days." With that, Christian closed the door and went back to bed.
However, little to Christian's knowledge, as Zack turned a corner, his smile changed into a knowing smirk as he thought about his next move. He wanted the same power as Christian's limiter, and Zack had just the power to do it.
'I will be the hero this school deserves and I will protect those I care for. I swear on my life that I will become more powerful' With that thought, Zack made his way back to his dorm, anticipating events to come.

It had been two days since then and Christian's suspension had come to an end. Moka and Kurumu walked through the corridor carrying boxes to Miss Nekonome's class. They had already agreed to meet Christian there. Both girls were anxious to see him, they hadn't spoken to him in two days and Moka had only seen him once through her window which was when they had arranged to meet in the classroom. As they walked, the two girls chatted about the recent events.
"So Yukari is getting on with her class now?" Moka asked curiously.
"Yep," Kurumu replied. "She apologised in front of the whole class for everything she had done. Her classmates all felt guilty about what they said about her and apologised. It's a lot better now that the Class Rep is in the infirmary. Apparently he's the one who provoked most of the insults."
"That's good," Moka said happily.
"At least she won't be bullied anymore. We probably took care of that," Kurumu continued.
There moment of calmness and happiness was over when the girls opened the door to the classroom. To their surprise, Yukari was in the room pressing herself against an exasperated Christian in a one-sided hug. He looked confused as to what to do in the situation he was in. He turned to see Moka and Kurumu and paled.
"Oh, Christian!" the young witch cried joyously, "I just love you to death."
"Huh?!" Both Moka and Kurumu cried, dropping the boxes and gaining Yukari's attention.
"Hi!" The tiny witch smiled. "Ever since I saw Christian in action as Humungousaur, I couldn't bear to be away from him anymore. In other words, I'm in love with him!" She declared.
"WHAT!?" Moka and Kurumu exclaimed.
"Hang on now Yukari, I'm honestly flattered by the thought, but I don't think that's appropriate," Christian tried to reason.
"Love knows no age, nor bounds!" Yukari announced. "When you showed up to save me, I felt like a princess being saved by a knight. The way you protected me made me feel so special. Therefore I declare that I shall do all I can to make you mine. However, I also realise that Moka also shares feelings for Christian; therefore I shall help her in her escapade too."
"Oh no, you don't!" Kurumu shouted as she ran over and latched on to one of Christian's arms, attempting to pull him away from the witch. "Christian is my destined one!"
"No, he's mine!" Yukari countered, grabbing the other free arm and pulled, beginning the familiar game of tug of war. "He and I have more things in common than you!"
"You're both just wasting your time," Moka said in a dangerous tone, making both bickering girls stop their fighting and Christian sweat bullets.
'Not again...' Christian moaned in his head.
At that point, Moka pounced at Christian. "Because Christian belongs to me!" she shouted as she grabbed on to Christian's neck.
"Moka, Wait!"
CHU!
