[Ah wait guys don't kill Ruby! She just been taught by another witch who holds a grudge against humans. So I beg of you, let her live... also let her join Tsukune's harem... for 'safety reasons'.
War is coming! Evil is approaching! Let our heroes unite and save the Universe!
Good chapter and Good Luck with your ASVAB!]
"Don't worry she just get's knocked around a bit, and yes she'll be joining Tsukune's Harem... for absolute safety reasons *Wink* To Unite a force to be reckoned with, but the threat of the enemy is still unknown, and thank you, I will try my very best at my ASVAB."
[add nekonome to the harem]
"… Umm... that's going to take some work... I'll try my best with it, but later..."

Tsukune in a blood thirsty rampage swung the blade down to strike at Ruby, though she jumped back to gain some distance between her and the sword. Moka in mid air put her hands together bringing down hard on the witch putting her in the ground.
Kurumu picked Ruby up from the ground flying up in the sky then commencing a death spin leaving Mizore to summon an ice pillar to impale the witch. Ruby however had enough of this interference and released some sort of energy explosion knocking everyone a good distance away from her as she floated down gracefully.
Tsukune quickly got to his feet swinging the blade around at Ruby, while Ruby did her best to avoid Tsukune's attempts at attacking her.
Alexis's eyes shot opened feeling her wounds start to heal up, getting up from the ground, she could see Tsukune charge at Ruby at a Berserk Frenzy.
"Your form is sloppy!" Ruby taunted, dodging another swing from the blade.
"SHUT UP!" Tsukune said in a frenzied rage.
I'll fucking slice her down the middle!
Tsukune brought the blade down, leaving Ruby to evade, while the sword went in to the ground. Ruby moved forward seeing everyone was pinned down fighting her animated plant minions. Getting ready to strike Tsukune, Tsukune disappeared grabbing both her wrists squeezing them to drop her wand. Several pops could be heard from her wrists has her hands let go of her weapon.
"I can fight without my wand, I won't let you harm her grace with your presence I'll stop you!"
Vines began to stab right through Tsukune's body, hitting his arms, legs, and chest. Tsukune's eyes began to dye crimson red, leaving him to snarl at Ruby as he continued to squeeze her wrists.
"Just die in a Vulzid!"The ground the two were standing on turned into a shadow substance swallowing them both whole.
(Translation: Abyss)
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Ruby and Tsukune were surrounded by a different versions of black and gray smoke clouds, while they stood on black smokey water.
"Wh-where are we?" Ruby stuttered as she began to feel a slight chill.
Tsukune surprisingly calmed down seeing the situation they were in.
Michael where are we? …. Michael?
Tsukune didn't know it but the link between them were temporarily severed. Ruby approached Tsukune slapping him across the cheek seeing her powers couldn't work in this strange area.
"This is all your fault!" Ruby shouted causing Tsukune's head to snap to her direction.
Tsukune remembering how she attacked Alexis, when Alexis showed her mercy by withdrawing the flames, backhanded Ruby across the cheek sending her on the floor. Tsukune's fists began to unclench as he heard Ruby starting to cry as she held her cheek while sitting, burying her head between her knees.
"Go on what are you waiting for... Kill me like your kind killed my ancestors...*Sniff* Your persecutions have drove us to the farthest reaches of Earth... Sunflower Mt. was one of our last refuges... "
"Let me guess you're a 'good' witch, the ones who didn't terrorize the villagers, plant curses, make diseases.. you know all that stuff an evil witch would do..."
Ruby's back was still facing Tsukune, not giving him the satisfaction of showing him, her face.
"You have no idea what you're talking about..."
"Why don't you enlighten me? I mean I have memories in my head that keep telling me how you're just as bad as the witches that were put to the torch."
"My ancestors did nothing but help your kind throughout the Dark ages, Medieval, and pre Renaissance... before the Knight's Hospitallers, the Papal and Spanish inquisition, the Cossacks, the Knight's Templar, and the list goes on... all because a few bad witches destroyed our reputation... soon after I took refuge... and her grace told me never to trust the Humans nor allow them to trespass..."
SUCH HATE... ANOTHER PUPPET TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION...
Both Tsukune's and Ruby's eyes widened, hearing that Demonic voice that sounded like it came from all around them. Tsukune drew Michael's sword seeing a dark smokey cloud advancing towards Ruby, Tsukune quickly pulled Ruby, putting her behind him. The shadowy cloud hit Tsukune radiating off smoke from his body.
"Who are you?!" Tsukune yelled out in to the continuous abyss.
HOW BRAVE OF YOU... WAIT... YOUR GENETIC CODE... HUMAN... AH NOW I SEE... YES... IF YOU'RE HERE THEN THAT MEANS... EARTH...
Tsukune eye's widened knowing who this was.
"You're the... The Great Darkness aren't you!?"
THAT'S NOT COMMON KNOWLEDGE... TELL ME HOW IS IT THAT YOU COME TO KNOW THIS?
Okay just keep stalling it... we need to find away out here...
"The Bulk of Earth knows about this war..."
IS THAT YOUR BEST LIE YOU COULD COME UP WITH? I KNOW THE VEIL IS STILL AROUND EARTH, YOU FUMBLE IN THE DARK... NOW LET'S SEE HOW YOU REALLY KNOW OF THIS WAR HUMAN...
Black veins began to form around Tsukune's face, on his forehead, under his eyes, and by his ears. Tsukune quickly held the blade in his left hand while moving his right to hold his forehead as he collapsed on his knees.
"ARRRGGHHGHGHGH! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HEAD!" Tsukune cursed fighting an internal battle.
STOP YOUR POINTLESS STRUGGLE... I NEED TO KNOW THAT NONE OF MY PUPPETS HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED.
Tsukune's pupils began to dye black, while his iris began to glow yellow.
DEEPER INTO YOUR THOUGHTS... GOOD... NOW... MICHAEL? NOW I THOUGHT I GOT HIM KILLED WITH THE FAKE EVIDENCE... BUT WHERE IS HE? AH... HIS SOUL RESIDES IN... WITH YOU... WELL I'LL JUST HAVE TO SEVER IT, ENDING THEIR PLOT...
Ruby immediately saw Tsukune struggling to keep his spiritual defense up. Ruby knew about possession, Tsukune saved her from one she would've fell victim to, she remembered an ancient ritual to stop further intrusion.
Quickly grabbing Tsukune's face she smashed her lips to his, catching Tsukune's eyes to return to the crimson eyes he received earlier.
AH WHAT A CLEVER WITCH YOU ARE HALF BREED, USING LOVE TO SLOW ME DOWN... BUT IT'S ONLY A TEMPORARY REPRIEVE.
"Tsukune try to keep in control and listen to me very carefully... whatever this thing is, has a very powerful possession technique... we need to get out before it regains control..."
Tsukune knew he couldn't hold off another attack like that, which meant he needed to use a shout to get him and Ruby out.
Grabbing Ruby by the waist the two embraced each other fearing the end. However as the Dark being came around for another attack, a golden light claimed the two escaping the clutches of certain doom. Appearing back on Earth the two were tossed into the field of Sunflowers. Tsukune's eyes shoot open seeing not only was Ruby on top of him but they were out of reach from possession. Seeing the threat gone Ruby wrapped her arms around Tsukune as they both laugh in relief. The sound of laughter caught the attention of Tsukune's friends who were looking for him. Nick and Gin was among the group after all the commotion they caused on the hill.
"Tsukune!" The group shouted leaving Moka, Mizore, and Kurumu to tackle Tsukune on his back again.
Tsukune relieved that Alexis was on her feet and healed, though everyone was ready to take on Ruby, though after calmly explaining to his friends what the two went through, and why she was so hostile and Ruby telling Tsukune and his friends what happened to the witch who she took service and refuge to, though it was no time to rest leaving Tsukune to quickly tell both Alexis and Michael of what happened in the abyss... Shock replaced their relieved faces leaving Michael and Alexis to perform a number of tests... Michael scanned Tsukune's entire body in case the entity left a fragment of itself lying in dormant ready to strike at a moments notice. Michael's spirit form appeared leaving Alexis to stop pacing while all faces were on him.
"So?" Alexis asked as she sat right by Tsukune on a log.
"I checked every part of his body... I see no signs of corruption though it's better to be safe than sorry Tsukune..."
"What do you mean?" Tsukune asked with a sense of worry in his voice.
"Just to be sure there is no dormant fragments in you... you're going to have to be baptized..."
"That doesn't sound too bad..." Tsukune sounded relieved of the option.
"It's never that simple Tsukune... normal baptism won't work. In order for you to be completely cleansed of any corrupted influence in your body, you'll have to be baptized where John the Baptist, baptized the Son of God... Jesus Christ... we'll need to make a trip to the holy land... Israel..."
"Israel?!" Tsukune and the girls with the exception of Alexis shouted.
"W-well who's going to baptize me?" Tsukune asked seeing that there was no walking out of this.
"When I was just three my family estate on the Second Earth was razed to the ground by Marauders... in the wreckage a group of Monks from a local Monastery returning from their pilgrimage found me... from there on I was took in by the monks, I was raised up to be a Monk... though that life ended when I turned twelve... Marauders of the same origin destroyed the Monastery thus ending my life as a Monk... I'll baptize you... my spiritual form is powerful enough to hold physical forms, I know how to do it." Michael announced to Tsukune and his friends.
"Deserts... I hate the heat..." Nick complained, as a cross breed between western and southern wolves are not accustomed to the high temperatures of the climate.

Dark storm clouds encircled over Yokai academy, not a single student was out in the night sky. In the Academy was two school enforcers guarding their Head quarter's door.
"So all I'm saying is confront this... Human Tsukune Aono in a few days time giving us ample enough time to move our forces within the district, mess around with his friends distract him, and as soon as we give you the signal, confront him and we'll be there to enact the ritual giving monster kind their right to instill fear amongst the Human race again... With our help of course, we will be a force to be feared and respected.." Farxies told Kuyō.
"So all I have to do is cause a distraction, drawing their attention while your kind summons these 'tears'…. Hmph I was getting tired of Humanity's arrogance any how, fine... you have a deal..."
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
NECROMANCERS GOOD SOURCE OF INSTIGATORS TO BE USED AND DISCARDED... THOUGH ONCE THEY FIND OUT OF MY TRUE INTENTIONS THEY WILL BE DESTROYED... I DON'T NEED TOOLS THAT CAN THINK I NEED WILLING SLAVES... THE NECROMANCERS HAVE ALREADY SIGNED THEIR DEATH WARRANT ONCE THEY SHATTER THE VEIL IT WILL BE TOO LATE FOR TAKE BACKS...
THIS GUARDIAN WAR HAS BEEN A USEFUL DISTRACTION TO KEEP THE 'DEFENDERS' FROM THE GREAT DARKNESS ATTENTION TURNED TOWARDS THEIR CIVIL WAR... THE ANCIENT HEART WILL BE IN MY POSSESSION AGAIN... I NEED ALL THE WIELDERS CRESTS, CRYSTALS, GEMS, AND SAPPHIRES... THOUGH THE WIELDERS NEED TO BE ALIVE FOR ME TO CAPTURE THE ITEMS... IF THEY DIE... THE ITEMS DISAPPEAR UNTIL THE NEXT WIELDER IS CHOSEN... I WILL NOT MAKE THAT SAME MISTAKE AGAIN...
ONCE THE NECROMANCERS SHATTER THE VEIL... EARTH WILL BE LIKE A FLAME TO A MOTH... DRAWING ALL MAJOR MILITARY POWERS IN THE UNIVERSE TO FIGHT OVER IT... ONCE THE FIGHTING COMMENCES OF EARTH THE GUARDIAN COUNCIL MILITARY MIGHT AND ALMOST EVERY UNIVERSAL MILITARY WILL BURN OVER EARTH... LEAVING THEM ABSOLUTELY POWERLESS TO STOP WHAT COMES NEXT... THIS PLAN HAS BEEN SET IN MOTION... NOW TO LET THE PIECES FALL INTO PLACE... SOON MY REIGN WILL BEGIN... NO ONE WILL STOP ME... NO...ONE... CAN...STOP... ME...

Sentinel Chambers
The Chambers that once echoed the sound of discussions from the protectors of Earth now remains a deafened silence, with only a handful of Sentinels remaining.
"Any news on the progress of the war?" one of the Sentinel deployers asked the records keeper.
"It's the same... neither side is budging even with the support were throwing in... I heard some of the members are trying to call a recall to the assembly for another vote."
"They know they can't, were at war the recall would be vetoed " The Deployer relented with a sigh.
"I didn't vote to go to war, I knew it would be a bad idea from the start."
In truth most Sentinels believed mediation in to the war, would cause the war to end in the Guardian Council's favor, however that was not the case if anything the war only intensified across the territories, even if the Sentinel mediation led to a Guardian Council victory, many feared of how many Sentinels will be left to return to their original duties.
"Has anything been occurring on Earth?"
"One... an incident occurred on the continent of Japan... though Sentinel Alexis Veelra checked out the area saying the situation has been handled."
The Sentinel Deployer breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank God... It's a good think Alexis was stationed on Earth, it's been giving the other new Sentinels time to prepare for safer missions."

Israel...
Tsukune, Alexis, Ruby, Nick, Gin, Moka, Mizore, Kurumu, and Yukari appeared on the walls of Jerusalem, overseeing the city.
"Alexis I think you may have jumped off course, we're not on the designated target." Michael's form stated.
"Sorry there's too much interference, I can't get a lock on the location... We'll have to travel on foot."
"So was it okay to leave Ms. Nekonome behind like that?" Moka asked the group.
"It's fine I left a note informing her we'd be back on campus in no time, Mikogami's stamp has some pull after all."
Once Michael's form disappeared the group began to make their way down the wall through a stairway, navigating their way through the streets leaving the city. Alexis knew the area pretty well from a birds eye view seeing it through the orb in her quarters.
"Now remember try not to draw attention to yourselves, we don't want to draw to much attention..." Alexis said to the group while leading them discreetly out of the city.

"Is it done Farxies?" the Founder asked the Necromancer Master.
"The plan is in motion, I've hired on some additional help from the locals of the Dimension, as soon as the interference returns to the Yokai Dimension, their attention will be drawn off of us and on to the distraction."
"Excellent... Now in terms of opening up the tears... we can't do to large this time... meaning we can't flood in an army... it'd be too risky, we'll have to open up numerous small tears in the Dimension..."
"Founder... there's another thing..." Farxies stopped the interruption in the communications.
"What?" The Founder replied with a tired voice.
"The Human... he has a weapon in his possession..."
"Why are you concerning me with this 'Weapon' ?"
"It's the Sword of Power... Michael's sword..."
"…..."
"My Lord?"
"The Plan hasn't changed... just be ready to summon the opening in the Dimension, Earth is nearly in our grasp!"
