Homura leapt from wall to wall to reach the top of a building. Once at the top, she had a clear rooftop and some room to actually fight. However, in whatever direction she turned, she did not see her pursuer. She let some time pass before she concluded that she lost him. With a small chuckle to herself, Homura casually walked to the door for the building entrance.

Just as she reached for the handle, the metal door swung open and slammed into her. From the opposite side, Kemono angrily trudge through. This technique was better known as Animarusensu: Spider's Trapdoor. It was a technique used to let enemies walk into a supposedly safe place and perform a surprise attack with blinding speed.

Homura sat up as her vision refocused to see Kemono approaching. He was beyond mad. The shinobi needed to dodge as Kemono jumped into the air to attack from above. She was able to safely avoid Kemono, as he slammed into the ground with an ax kick strong enough to crack the cement.

"You're strong, I'll give you that", She told him. "I can't remember the last time I faced someone as powerful as you."

"You should remember", Kemono shouted. "You turned my life upside down!"

"Really", She said with a smirk. "I remember a lot of things. You on the other hand are not one of them."

Kemono was infuriated hearing this. As he prepared another Animarusensu attack, Homura transformed to her ninja attire. Kemono aborted his head on attack the moment Homura drew her swords. Now he was at a disadvantage. Not only were swords his kryptonite, he had no means to counter or block these weapons.

The best idea for anyone would have been to retreat. However, his pride and his rage were getting the better of him. Rapidly circling around her, Kemono looked for an opening in her defenses. Unless he could hit her in the blind spot, there was no real way for him to attack.

"Animarusensu: Rabbit's Foot!"

Kemono suddenly increased his speed significantly with this next attack. In the blink of an eye, Kemono hit Homura square in the cheek. She skidded backwards towards the wall. However, she didn't make impact quite yet. Still using his enhanced speed, Kemonowas grabbed her by the leg and spun her around three times before releasing her.

The ninja impacted with the wall with more force than she was thrown. Homura struggled to get back, but could still manage. She wiped some blood that dripped from her mouth.

"Is that the best you can do", Homura laughed. "I'll bet your mom can hit harder than you!"

Kemono flew to an even higher level of anger, "I'm gonna rip you apart Snake Girl!"

Kemono yelled as he charged her straight forward. Despite taking a good thrashing, Homura smirked and readied her weapons.


Not too far behind, Asuka tried to find Kemono and Homura. She had lost them only moments ago, but was still having a hard time pin pointing their location. As she raced through the alleyways, she heard a quick whooshing sound. Asuka had enough time and maneuverability to see an incoming dart.

As she dodged the flying ammo, she caught sight of two other snake girls.

"My my, isn't this a surprise", Yomi cooed as she reloaded her her wrist crossbow.

"That's too bad. I was hoping to finally take out Katsuragi", The green haired Hikage sad as she licked one of her knives.

"Yomi! Hikage! What are you doing here?"

"We're here for one of you", Yomi said. "We need a Hanzo hostage and a scroll for some leverage."

"For leverage", Asuka asked.

It was then a large girder landed near Asuka in the alley. Yomi and Hikage looked to the direction the girder came from. In the distance, Homura and Kemono clashed on the third story of a building being constructed. . He was fighting aggressively, but Homura had already sliced him in various locations.

"Kemono", Asuka yelled as she ran to him without thinking.

"You've left yourself open darling", Yomi said as she aimed her crossbow.

Asuka realized her mistake just a little too late to save herself. However, there was still time for someone else to save her. In a loud ridiculous shout, someone yelled, "BANZAIIII" All of the girls stopped as a character on a skateboard suddenly soared above Yomi. In mid flight, one of his back wheels scraped her across the face.

The character skated in a circle around Asuka before skidding to a stop. Now at her side, Asuka could clearly see the face of the one who had saved her.

"What's happenin", Lobo grinned.

"Lobo", Asuka asked.

"That's my name", He said spiraling once on his board.

"So you're name is Lobo huh", Hikage jumped from her perch. "I didn't know Hanzo shinobi were taking boys now. This is gonna be a bother."

"A bother! He's more than just a bother", Yomi yelled now with a large red wheel track running down her forehead. "He's a rude, smug, and ungentlemanlike boy who runs over ladies with his board on wheels!"

"Ouch! That's a mouthful of Anti-Lobo words", Lobo said.

Removing her attention from the the bickering, Asuka realized she had bigger problems to deal with.

"Lobo, you need to run! They're very dangerous! And Kemono is in trouble!"

"Kemono's in trouble", Lobo asked in surprise.

Lobo knew that Kemono was a very powerful person when it came to fighting and defending himself. To hear Asuka say that he was in trouble was startling for him. As Asuka knew more about this situation than him, Lobo turned to Hikage and Yomi.

"I don't know what the situation is, but you know it better than me. You go help Kemono. I got this", Lobo said to her.

"What?! Lobo, you don't understand! They're not regular girls, they're..."

"Ninjas? Yeah, I know. Which means", Lobo brought his hands together as if he was praying. "I'm gonna have to give this fight everything I have. Shinobi Transformation!"

A greenish aura surrounded Lobo. His clothes were removed, leaving him only in his boxers. This was only momentary before a new attire was provided for him. Lobo was now in a black tank top with a large green spider on his chest. There were matching black sweats, and black shoes. Each shoe had a green outlining, along with green elbow and knew pads. It also came with black MMA fighter gloves, but that wasn't the weirdest part of his outfit.

A pair of black wolf ears, and a black tail popped out of the outfit. Both ears and tail wiggled to life as if they were actually connected to his body. They matched his hair color, which made sense, unlike the cylinder green guns mounted on his hips and shoulders. Compared to the ninja transformations of either Hanzo or Snake, this was definitely one of the oddest.

"Lobo, you're a ninja too", Asuka asked.

"Please, don't tell Kemono", Lobo asked her. "I know he doesn't like ninjas."

Asuka tried to say something else, but Lobo cut her off.

"We'll talk about his afterwards! Go help Kemono! If we're dealing with ninjas, there's no telling what he'll do!"

Asuka knew Lobo had a point. She had dealt with the Crimson Girls before, an knew just how menacing they were. While Asuka didn't want to just leave Lobo here on his own, she knew Kemono would need her help too. Nodding her head, Asuka left Lobo to try and save Kemono.

"Where do you think you're going", Hikage asked as she raced after Asuka.

When Hikage was about twelve feet from reaching Asuka, she suddenly had both feet pulled right out from under her. Taking her face off the ground, Hikage looked to her boots. Attached to the back of her ankles, were two thread made of pure energy. The threads trace back to the turret like devices at Lobo's hips.

"Sorry about that", Lobo chuckled.

Silliness would have to wait for another time. Up above, Yomi was ready to chop Lobo in half like a vegetable. Lobo used the turrets on his shoulders to fire two new threads at the wall. These turrets pulled Lobo out of harm's way. As Yomi created a slicing shape in the ground, Hikage was back on her feet, and Lobo stood on all fours like an animal.

"You two must be ninjas of stupidity if you think you can beat me", Lobo teased.

"NINJAS OF STUPIDITY", Yomi shouted in outrage. "I'LL SHOW YOU!"


By then, Kemono was taking on more than he could chew. He was at a total disadvantage, and Homura was taking advantage of his weaknesses. He was heavily knocked back by Homura's swipe. He now had various slash marks in different areas. When compared to Homura, he had taken far more damage than her.

With a grin Homura said, "Is that all you can do? Sure you got some power and mean fighting skills, but that's not gonna work on a ninja. You don't have any precision, and nowhere near any defenses against a sword."

Kemono grunted as he stood on all four, "I may not be a ninja, but I don't have to be one to defeat you! Animarusensu: Prairie Dog Digger!"

By rapidly having his fingers into the ground, Kemono began to burrow into the ground at superhuman speed. Within a few seconds, Kemono had completely disappeared into the earth. Homura searched left and right, but saw no sign of Kemono.

Before she could react, the ground behind her crumbled as Kemono leapt from the earth. He pulled Homura into a neck breaking headlock. Being so close behind her, Homura had no way to attack him with her swords. She struggled and kicked in his mighty grip, but he was just too strong for her.

"You Die Here, Snake!"

In one swift motion Kemono twisted upwards, snapping her neck. Homura's body went limp in his grip. Feeling the life from her body completely disappear, Kemono let her fall from his grip. Upon impact, there was a thick thudding noise that didn't sound like a body hitting the ground. It sounded more like a pile of wood hitting the floor.

Looking closer, Kemono could see that this wasn't Homura, but a puppet. It was at that time he heard a sinister chuckle. Sitting on a ledge above was not just Homura, but Haruka, and Mirai of the Crimson Girls.

"That would have certainly been a nasty end, now wouldn't it", Haruka said in a sadistic voice.

Kemono growled at the trio before grabbing onto the walls.

"Animarusensu: Gecko Pads!"

By adding Ki to the bottom to his feet and hands, Kemono could stick to almost any surface, even glass.

"He has power, I'll give him that", Said Mirai.

The smaller girl caught sight of the fast approaching Asuka.

"Oh look, Hanzo's grand-daughter is here."

Homura now had Asuka in her sights. She unsheathed her swords again and grinned in anticipation.

"I'll handle this."

"My, my, so enthusiastic today, aren't we Homura", Haruka chuckled.

Kemono watched Homura disappear and tunnel visioned his sights to her.

"Not so fast", Kemono roared as he reached the top.

His tunnel vision got the best of him and he payed no attention to the others, something Mirai absolutely hated. Kemono hopped back as multiple bullets zoomed near his feet.

"Don't ignore me", Mirai shouted as she aimed her machine gun umbrella at Kemono.

The girl kept on firing, forcing Kemono to run and take cover behind a pile cinder blocks.


Getting closer and closer, Asuka, now in her Shinobi Transformation, ran to Kemono and nearly missed seeing Homura. The snake girl collided all six of her swords against Asuka's dual kôdachi. The impact and weight of Homura's attack sent Asuka stumbling back.

"Homura", Asuka spoke as she recovered. "What did you do to Kemono?"

"Oh I wouldn't worry about the boy. I'd worry more about yourself", Homura pointed her weapons to the Hanzo girl. "It's been a while since we last dueled. Lets make up for old time's sake."

Homura rushed her enemy straight forward, and Asuka had no choice but to face her opponent head on. Their swords connected and clashed in a flurry of swipes and slashes. Despite being smaller and not as powerful, Asuka was putting up a fight just as good, if not better than Kemono.


Still fighting in the alleyway, Lobo dodged flying knives and crossbow fire. As three knives flew past him, Lobo fired a thread from his hip turret and snagged all three of them.

"Whoopseeeeey", He said as he swung the knives around like a mace to his Hikage.

The girl parried the blades with her own knife. As he focused on Hikage, three metal orbs were thrown at Lobo by Yomi.

"Oooh, sorry bout that", Lobo said as the orbs missed him and landed at his feet.

He didn't recognize that these were explosives until it was too late. Thankfully it wasn't a lethal bomb, and was only meant to disorient an enemy. However, that was more than enough to give them an opening. Lobo watched in what appeared to him as slow motion as Yomi swung her sword to slice him in half.

It would have been a horrible way to go if not for Katsuragi's epic gravity defying corkscrew kick. Yes indeed, Katsuragi saved Lobo's life with a powerful kick to Yomi's side. The blade narrowly missed Lobo by mere centimeters. Yomi landed nicely on her feet at Hikage's side. Before, Yomi and Hikage outnumbered Lobo, but now the table had turned with the arrival of Katsuragi, Ikaruga, Hibari, and Yagyu.

"Now this is what I've been waiting for", Katsurgi boasted as she cracked her knuckles.

"Oh, it's you again", Hikage said sounding unimpressed.

"Oh look, it's the princess and her servants", Yomi said specifically to Ikaruga.

"You guys know each other too", Asked Lobo. "I didn't think all of you were ninjas."

"Us? What about you? When did you plan on telling us that you were a ninja too", Katsuragi questioned.

"Oh, yeah. I was uh, I was gonna save that one for the docks", Lobo said as he sheepishly scratched his cheek.

"Lobo, where is Asuka", Hibari asked.

"You mean the other girl with the red neckerchief? She went to go help my friend, Kemono."

"Kemono's in trouble too", Ikaruga asked. "This is bad. Lobo, Katsuragi and I will handle these two. Lead Hibari and Yagyu to Asuka and Kemono."

"What?! No way, I called dibs on these two! I have to finish this fight", Lobo argued.

"We don't have time for this", Ikaruga began.

"Dibs", Katsuragi called.

"What", Asked her comrades.

"You heard me. I call dibs on Hikage", Said Katsuragi.

"Hey! I called dibs first", Lobo argued.

"Then I call double dibs! She was my rival first!"

Lobo sighed, "Well I guess I gotta give you that one."

"Then it's decided", Said Yagyu. "We'll go look for Asuka and Kemono. Where can we find them?"

"Just follow the trail of destruction. That's how I usually find him", Lobo answered.

"Got it. We're on our way", Said Ikaruga.

"Good luck Katsuragi! Good Luck Lobo", Hibari cheered before she followed Ikaruga and Yagyu.

Katsuragi gave her a thumbs up before turning back to their double duel.

"My, my, isn't this going to be picnic. We'll have to defeat a stray shinobi, and a Hanzo shinobi", Yomi said raising her sword again.


Now tell me people, who was expecting any of that? I originally wanted this chapter to be longer, but word wise, this was a decent place to end this chapter. Referring to earlier, I was still disappointed that not one person remembered the song that was playing on Omalley's car radio. The answer was "Counting Stars", by "One Republic". I hope more people will guess these questions later on

For this chapter, we see Lobo's big secret. Who would have guessed, a Wolf Spider Ninja. Even I didn't see that one coming. I know, looking at him might make Lobo seem like a cheap Spider-man knockoff, and I will admit the new "Amazing Spider-Man 2", helped inspire this character, but it was more than Spider-Man. For Lobo, I looked to the "Three Dimensional Manuever Gear" from "Attack On Titan", "Genshirou Saji" and his "Sacred Gear: Absorption Line", from Highschool DXD", "Jazz" and his "Grapple Hook", from "Transformers: Fall of Cybertron", "The Benwolf", from "Ben 10", and even "Blastoise", from "Pokemon". You'll see most likely in the next chapter what I mean when I mention all of these characters.

On another note, this is where the Serpent Academy will become more involved with the story. Finally, to the audience, I want to thank you all for reading and reviewing. I didn't think this story would get so many reviews in such little time. I'll do my best to update soon. In the mean time, I hope to get some more reviews on my other stories too. Have a good day, ore evening, depending where you are.
