Negima Myths 3
Kazumi: For this myth we would like to introduce one of our mythterns, Yuunagi! This myth was her idea and we thought it was only fair if she worked on this as well.
Yuunagi: Hi everyone! It's so great to be here on this show!
Chachamaru: Hello.
Eva: Hmmph.
Asuna: Hi there!
Negi: Hi. It's very nice to meet you.
Lunar: Glad to have you here. So what is this myth you wanted to test out?
Yuunagi: Ok so this myth comes from a vampire hunter where he is trapped and bleeding and is being chased by a vampire. He then sees a pig, cuts it and uses its blood as bait and escapes the vampire.
Satomi: This test should be simple enough, we're going to get some pig's blood and we're going to ask someone to cut themselves. Then we are going to blindfold Eva and see if she can tell the difference. What do you guys think?
Yunnagi: That sounds fine. Plus I think we should see that if you do cut yourself, how far do you have to be in order to be out of range.
Chao: Sort of like when the shark myths, where we drip some blood to see if it would attack.
Lunar: Correct. Except we'll have to tweak it for a vampire.
Xascul: I think that is great idea and for added bonus, I think we should measure out how far do you have to get in order to avoid getting your blood sucked. I was wondering about that when I was reading Vampire Hunter.
Lunar: What's that?
Xascul: Well, there is one scene where a human gets cut by accident and he gets attacked by a vampire.
Yuunagi: I think that we should get a few different types of blood and put next to a batch of human blood and see if she goes for the animal blood and if she does, which blood will be a good substitute?
Lunar: Let's get to it then.
Xascul: After this is over, there is going to be whole new meaning to "there will be blood spilled tonight!" Ha!
Kazumi: So the Mythbusters are going to be getting blood and donating blood. Lots of it.
Eva: All this blood is making me thirsty...
Negi: Ehh! It's not the full moon tonight is it?
Chachamaru: No it is not. Professor, you should be fine.
Negi: That is not very reassuring.
Satomi: We have three different types of blood we are going to be using: chicken blood, dog blood and pig's blood.
Yuunagi: Pig's blood might actually be a good substitute because the overall composition is similar enough to human blood which might fool your average day vampire.
Kazumi: While they are busy setting up the blood tests, let's do some learning.
Yuunagi: I was asked to some research on shinso vampires or daywalkers. Regular vampires started to becoming more commonplace around the 15th century. Normally vampires will be either damaged or killed by sunlight, but there was a small, handful of vampires who learned how to walk during the day. It wasn't until recently that the term 'daywalker' was invented by none other . Eva as some people might know is a daywalker vampire. Supposedly they are not only immune to sunlight, but they are also immune to things like garlic and even holy water.
Eva: Ha! And none of those vampires can compare to me!
Asuna: Must you always brag about that?
Eva: Because I AM the strongest there is!
Chachamaru: For future reference, please do not make Master angry.
Xascul: I'm afraid she's right.
Eveyone else: Huh?!
Xascul: Well I was looking up a list of known daywalkers of this century and there is only nineteen of the them, and guess what? Count Dracula is not one of them! Anyways, many other ones like Karin from Chibi Vampire, Hazuki from Moon Phase, Arcueid Brunestud from Tsukuhime, Blade and Alucard from Hellsing. All of them are quite powerful, but none of them is also a spellcaster like Eva here. The closest is by far Alucard, and he has even more abilities than Eva does such as invisibility and hypnosis.
Eva: I'm impressed. Where did you get that information?
Xascul: Uh, like everything else I start with wikipedia and I research the individual characters from more reliable sources. Plus I have a friend who's also a vampire hunter, part time though.
Negi: Eh?! Really?
Eva: Hmm, I shall like to meet this Alucard. I want to prove to everyone that there isn't another vampire out there who can beat me!
Xascul: Well, this all really subjective because Alucard might win in terms of the sheer number of abilities he has but in sheer firepower, you'd win hands down.
Eva: I see, maybe you're not so bad after all.
Chao: That's quite impressive.
Xascul: Please, it wasn't so hard to find. Though it would also be appropriate to say that although comparing power of other vampires is more ambiguous, one concrete fact that no one can deny is that Eva is also the smallest of all vampires. Every other vampire that's on the list appears at least or over sixteen years of age, while Eva only appears ten.
Yuunagi: I suppose that's true.
Eva: Hey! It's not my fault that I was bitten at a young age!
Kazumi: Now that we know what daywalkers are, let's go over to the mythbusters and see if their appetites for blood.
Satomi: We have three blood samples we're going to test. We picked these three because in the old days these were animals one might come across in the country and if you were to slaughter one, these would be a good substitute blood.
Chao: The test is simple. Satomi and I have built a rig which will cut the four packs of blood in front of Eva and will see which one she goes for. Plain and simple.
Kazumi: Eva takes her position at two-hundred feet from the four packs of blood. Chao stands by and gives the countdown.
Chao: Okay everyone behind the screen! And we're live in three, two, one!
Kazumi: The trigger cuts all the blood packs cleanly and Eva is thirsty.
Xascul: Oh, wait, here she comes.
Kazumi: Eva hurdles to the blood packs and dives straight for the one on the far right.
Lunar: Hey! What'ya know? She went for the human blood just like that!
Xascul: I think that was pretty definitive in that even with four blood packs she still was able to find the human one.
Yunnagi: Do you think we should do another run just to be sure?
Eva: I actually don't mind so much anymore, this is actually kind of fun. I also don't mind doing it again.
Lunar: Sure why not?
Kazumi: The packs are refilled and rearranged and the rig is reset.
Chao: Ok so this the second blood finding test in three, two, one!
Kazumi: Again Eva charges at the blood packs and once again she nails the human blood.
Xascul: Excellent! That was great!
Yunnagi: So now that we know she'll go after human blood, is this myth busted?
Lunar: Not quite, this is not necessarily an ideal set up this only shows that she can tell the difference between blood. It does not tell you what will happen if we have a live person.
Xascul: Correct. Although we have shown that she can tell blood apart, we can't call it busted until we do this for real.
Lunar: I see and who is going to be the guinea pig?
(everyone in the room looks at Xascul)
Xascul: Wait, why are you guys looking at me for?
Chao: I think it is safe to say you are going to be it.
Satomi: You have to take one for the team.
Xascul: Okay fine. This all for science.
Negi: Ehhhh! Are you sure about this?
Asuna: Yeah, you do know that this IS Evangeline we're talking about right? She'll drain you dry in a heartbeat!
Xascul: (sarcastically) Oh, I doubt my blood will taste that good, besides I've tasted before when I got cut a few days ago, wasn't all that great.
Asuna: Right...
Kazumi: This last test is going to add the human element.
Yuunagi: This is going to show the absolute worst case scenario. If we show that Eva will go after the blood on a live human being, I think it's safe to call this myth busted.
Kazumi: So while Yuunagi is preparing a bag of pig's blood, Xascul is busy preparing for his worst nightmare: standing down a four- foot three-inch vampire.
Xascul: So I'm going to cut myself on the arm, not too much though, and we're going to start at five hundred feet. We have the pig's blood here which we are going to cut at the same time and if it somehow attracts Eva, then we can say we busted this myth.
Kazumi: Everything is ready and set up in an ideal situation for a vampire attack. Xascul is standing two-hundred feet from Eva and is cut. At the same time, the pig's blood is cut.
Xascul: I'm sweating like mad over here. Stress on a daily basis is probably not good for you.
Kazumi: Eva slowly walks down toward the two blood types. At around 150 feet she licks her lips.
Xascul: Oh geeze!
Xascul: Well I think that was a good test, she clearly could tell the difference between human blood and animal blood.
Eva: I smell blood...
Kazumi: Eva slowly approaches Xascul, ignoring the pig's blood and starts licking his cut.
Eva: Hmmm... your blood is very... tasty... I wonder... what blood type are you?
Xascul: Uh..uh... I really don't wish to tell you...
Eva: (demandingly) Answer me!
Xascul: Ugh... AB positive...
Eva: Hmmm... I see... a fine delicacy your blood is to me...
Kazumi: Well, this is a surprise.
Xascul: Oh great, now I'm becoming walking candy to her, what next?
Lunar: Yo, you alright buddy?
Xascul: Just a little dazed, I can't believe she did that though. She grabbed me and pulled me towards her. That is the first time I've ever been scared of a ten-year-old girl before. That little experience back there just put a whole new meaning to "looks can kill."
Eva: I wasn't feared by millions around the world for so long for nothing. Now you know why.
Lunar: Well that settles it, there is no way animal's blood can fool a vampire.
Eva: Of course it can't, I've lived long enough to tell all sorts of different types of blood.
Xascul: Anyways, so the myth that you could fool a vampire with animal's blood is busted. We had three different types of blood to test and yet none of which were even remotely close to fooling Eva.
Yuunagi: Plus we have shown that you need to be at least one-hundred and fifty feet away from a vampire to be safe from them attacking you if you cut yourself.
Lunar: Yep, we showed that trying to fool a vampire, especially Eva, using animal blood as substitute just simply won't work. It's busted.
Chao, Satomi, Yunnagi: Busted.
Eva: Finally! We're finished! Chachamaru, prepare some tea again for me.
Chachamaru: Yes, Master. Right away.
Please read and review!
