Chapter 10
Dr. Butterfly was just finishing his meal when Moonface walked in. "Dr. Butterfly preparations are almost complete." he said. "Excellent, and what of him?" he asked.
"He has been completely resurrected" Moonface said his grin never fading.
"Good. Our attack will begin in two days" Dr Butterfly announced.
"Alright I will notify the others" Moonface said walking away. "Soon Ginsei Academy will be mine and the alcamist warriors crushed."
******
"Why does it feel like I was just here?" Alastor said stepping off the bus.
"Because we were" Sam said brushing her hair back.
"So where to first?" Ota asked.
"My house. My dad's known Papillon for awhile so he may know his whereabouts now". Sam said walking off.
"You're back again so soon. Has anything happened?" Tokiko asked when they arrived.
"No I just need to talk to dad about something" Sam said.
"Well don't stand outside in the cold come in" she said ushering them in.
******
"Papillon? Why do you need to know about him?" Kazuki asked looking puzzled.
"Well there's been a sudden uprising in homunculi and the AA thinks Papillon may know something." Alastor said sipping his hot cocoa.
"Last time we talked to him I think he said he'd be visiting Ginsei Academy this week. That'll be your best bet to find him" Tokiko said.
"Thanks mom and dad" Sam said finishing her cocoa.
"Bye Mr. and Mrs. Muto" Alastor said following after her. Ota waved and left.
"Do you think she'll be okay?" Tokiko asked.
"She'll be fine. She's made some good friends." Kazuki said.
*****
"Papillon!" Samantha yelled from the school roof.
"Man why does it have to be this guy?" Ota said.
"Well this is our best bet so we just have to go with it" Alastor said.
"Papillon!!!" a voice rang. A man wearing a butterfly mask, a black form fitting suit, and black butterfly wings flew into the air.
"Oh so there's an audience today" Papillon said.
"Are you Papillon?" Samantha asked.
"Of course I am. Who else do you know who dresses as elegantly as I. Now who are you three?" Papillion asked.
"I'm Samantha Muto" Sam said. "This is Alastor Sakimori and Ota Nishiyama."
"Wait did you say Muto? Ah so you are their daughter." Papillon said intrigued.
"Why did you call me up here?"
"We came to ask you do you know where all of these recent homunculi are coming from." Alastor asked.
"Yes but what's in it for me?" he asked.
"I don't know what do you want?" Ota asked.
"How about some of the teriyaki this city is famous for?"
******
Half and hour and three trays of teriyaki later.
"Oo they were right there food is great" Papillion said licking his fingers.
"Will you just answer the question now" Sam said clearly annoyed.
"Such impatience. You are so like your mother. Very well I will tell you. It seems my great great grandfather is trying to take over the school again" Papillon began.
"But I thought hew was dead" Sam said.
"It seems he cloned himself in case something like this happened. He also resurrected some of the old humanoid homunculi including some you've fought before. In fact here are some now" he said looking up.
"Hyahooo!! It feels great to be back!!" Kinjo yelled.
"I agree 100%!! Let's do this!!" Kiba yelled. (Kiba is the homunculus they fought in chapter 4. I just now gave him his name)
"Great these idiots" Sam groaned
"Buso Renkin!!" they both yelled. "Buso Renkin of the Right Hand Gauntlet! Peaky Gulliver!!" Kinjo yelled leaping at them.
"Buso Renkin of the Left Arm Gauntlet! Flat Fist!!" Kiba yelled jumping after him.
Both of there fist hit the ground as the others jumped away. Sam jumped after Kinjo her buso renkin activated. Alastor followed suit with Kiba.
"Bra-bring-nag Knuckles!!" Kinjo flew at Sam but she punched through not only his buso renkin but also his body leaving broken fading parts.
"Destruction Punch!!" Kiba said his fist growing. Alastor jumped over it and slashed down cutting him in half.
"To easy" Alastor said cracking his knuckles.
"Yes but you should prepare yourself for the others who will come" Papillion said jumping into the air.
"Well that was next to useless" Ota said.
"At least we found some good information." Alastor said.
"Good point. Let's report this to the AA and see if they have any ideas on what to do" Sam said.
"*sigh* our jobs never done" Ota said.
******
"So Papillion's confirmed our suspicions" Raiden said over the phone.
"Yes. Has the AA come up with a plan or re we on our own here?" Sam asked.
"There are three more warriors being sent: Tsubame, a warrior named Vash and myself. We should arrive tomorrow morning."
"We'll patrol the school in case butterfly attacks"
"Good thinking okay Raiden out" Raiden said hanging up.
"Okay Tsubame go find Vash. Tell him were leaving immediately."
"Yes sir" she said saluting then running towards the training area.
"C'mon give me the best you got" Vash said.
"Alright you asked for it. Setting max homunculi to twelve." the system operator said.
Vash drew his bow and shot one through the head. He jumped back and ran knocking another arrow. He slumped against a tower spun around and loosed three arrows. Only two found there mark and between those one died.
"Oh that won't do" He grabbed one arrow and ran at one homunculi. He stabbed it through the head before shooting the arrow at another. A claw swiped above him as he ducked.
"Oh forgot about you" He pointed a knocked arrow at it as its claw was reared back. Then it just suddenly froze. When it didn't move he yelled
"Hey what gives!" he yelled pissed.
"Vash it's time to head out" Tsubame's voice rang.
"Finally. I was getting tired of these things" he said running to the exit.
******
"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Ota said from the school roof.
"Yeah but I don't believe it" Alastor said.
The school yard was full of hundreds of revised humanoid homunculi. At the lead were Sojiro, Madran, Moonface, and Dr. Butterfly.
"Moon! Well it seems the AA has sent us a welcoming party." Moonface said smiling
"Well why don't we let them greet our guest" Madran said snapping his fingers. The RHHs came to life and began to walk towards the school destroying anything in there path.
"It's time to go to work" Alastor said jumping down. Sam followed but Ota stayed on the roof. He lined up both his hand guns end to end.
"Handgun AT. Head Shot" he said. The guns reformed in to a sniper rifle as he sat on the roof taking aim. "Time to go to work" he whispered.
"Buso Renkin" they both yelled.
"Okay uglies!" Sam yelled. "This is as far as you get!" Alastor yelled.
They began to fight they're way through the hoard of monsters.
"Hmph those kids are better" Sojiro said smirking.
"Maybe, or perhaps these homunculi aren't strong enough" Madran said.
"Maybe we should help them out a little bit" Sojiro suggested.
Madran nodded and he leaped into the battle his buso renkin in his hand.
"Moon? Should I go after him?" Moonface asked.
"Yes but only observe" Dr. Butterfly told him. Moonface leaped into the air his hands outstretched.
"Man there's no end to these things" Alastor said dodging a set of claws.
"I know. We have to get to Dr. Butterfly and take him down." Sam said standing against his back.
"To bad you won't live long enough for that" a voice said behind them. Sam turned and raised her arm blocking the blade.
"You!" she exclaimed.
"Yep" he replied before stepping behind her. He slashed down before the blade was caught by a chain made of flames.
"Not again" Alastor said coldly. He yanked the chain back and slashed his hand through the air. Sojiro dodged and landed behind him lunging.
A bullet pierced his body then a second pierced his head. Alastor looked up to the roof and nodded. Ota gave him a thumbs up before going back to his sniper routine.
"Still using fireams, eh master" a familiar voice said behind Ota.
Ota smiled and replied "And your still using that bow and arrow eh Vash"
"Heh we never did prove which was better. Buso Renkin of the Long Bow. Long Shot." he said.
"So we gonna do this here?"
"Yeah let's go" they said together. Bullets and arrows rained down on the army below wiping out dozens in seconds.
"Hmph these warriors are going to underestimate me. I don't think so" Dr. Butterfly said snapping his fingers. The RHHs began to eat each other and merge into the Super Revised Humanoid Homunculus.
"Shureikin Wild Dance" a voice said. Tsubame dropped from the sky and began to dance and spin in place throwing the shureikin at the homunculus as they embedded themselves in its flesh.
She stopped and threw one more shureikin in its head making it and the others explode. It fell to the ground in pieces. Tsubame threw back her hair and smiled at her brother.
"It's been a while big brother." she said.
"Yeah but we'll catch up after we beat them" Alastor said
"The true battle begins now" Dr. Butterfly whispered.
