Chapter 11:
Disclaimer - I don't own Rosario + Vampire or any of its Franchise
A few weeks later after the girls in the newspaper club had given up all hope of ever finding Tuskune. Ruby walked in one day in the afternoon club activities.
Ruby then said " I know that you are all worried about him as am I, we just got word of a confirmed sighting of Teu". Yukari asked " where is he"? Ruby looked hesitant before she said " in the witches Enclove, in your parents village to be specific".
The gang instantly froze and they all grew hard looks as they had been training even harder ever since America. They all wanted to kill him before anyone else got hurt. So they packed and left immediately armed this time.
Ruby with a chain whip, Kokoa with a Claymore, Fang with two Katar's, Yukair with a modern Recurve Crossbow with enchanted bolts (crossbow), Moka with katabira, Ginei with a broad sword, Ling with two Nodachi and Kurumu with a Bardiche.
Once they were all ready they got onto the bus with an amused bus driver. Once they got there the bus driver decided to wait for them. But as soon as they disappeared over the hill the bus driver followed after them intent on watching the conflict to come.
They watched their every step this time and They got to they got to Yukari's hut and felt a familiar presence inside. So they bust inside the house ready to kill. At the table was Yukari's mother and father, Taminori Sendo and Fujiko Sendo.
Also sitting beside Taminori was Tuskune and Teu sitting at the table eating dinner with the Sendo family. Tuskune said "ah at last they are here". Tuskune was wearing a black leather jacket, a black dress shirt, a black gauntlet on his arm, a dark red pair of long pants and a pair of black dress shoes. Helsing wore a dark red shirt, black pants, grey dress shoes, dark red gauntlet and a jet black tie.
Teu said " see I told you Mrs and Mr Sendo, they were only a few days behind us". Tuskune saw with a charming smile "hello everyone, why all the heavy weaponry for"? Helsing looked at the gang with a disarming kind smile and said "you guys are getting paranoid, but it makes sense and all". Mrs Sendo asked everyone to join them as they had more then enough.
The newspaper club seemed to shocked to answer so Ling stepped in and said " we would be delighted Mrs Sendo". She smiled and Mr Sendo got up and greeted everyone.
Ling said with disarming smoothness "it is true that we are a little paranoid but with all this talk we hear about a demon named shadow demon and a spirit ghoul as well we have heard are in this area, can you blame us"? Tuskune said " shadow demon Eh, could it be one of your people Teu".
Teu said " sounds like one of my guys, I might check up on that later see if it is a hunter". Yukari then said to her mother " mom that person is the shadow demon, he has killed thousands of monsters and he is here to kill you two".
Tuskune, Helsing and Mr and Mrs Sendo burst out laughing. Mr Sendo said "that's a good one". Tuskune and Helsing were not even tense just acted causal. Eventually the gang had to eat dinner with them and Moka said " where have you been all this time"?
Tuskune looked confused and said " what do you mean we have only been apart for a few days". The others went wide eyed and Moka said "tuskune you went missing three weeks ago". Helsing looked worried as he said "are you alright Moka, when was the last time you had blood"?
She said " why do you ask"? Helsing said "well its just Tsukune and I have only been gone a few days haven't we Ling"? She nodded with a confident smile but as the others went to protest Ling rubbed her wrist and they looked over to Tuskune and Helsing and they were both did a threatening gesture that Mr and Mrs Sendo could not see.
They got the message right away and agreed with Moka needed some help of some kind. Everyone seemed on edge the entire time. All bar the ignorant Mr and Mrs sendo as well as Tsukune, Helsing and Ling. The three seemed to be playing a very dangerous game and enjoying it.
Once tea was done they continued talking until late and Mr sendo offered the gang a bed to sleep in for the night. All bar Tsukune and Helsing who disappeared at some time when they argues against staying the night.
All bar Ling seemed surprised that Helsing and Tsukune were working together. Once the sun had risen the gang went and searched for them. The place grew more foggy and dark the deeper they went. Then they unsealed Moka and let her track them down.
She lead them for a while until they came to a small clearing and what remained of a camp site. The murky swamp water seemed to be surrounding them. As Moka stood on the edge of the water she looked confused and said " this is where I can feel faint demonic energy, but there is no trace of them, must be residue".
They turned around and walked away. Then once they were long gone out of the murky depths came Tuskune and Helsing fully loaded with breathing apparatuses on their faces and a small bottle of air strapped on their chests.
Once they came out they looked like fully prepared Marines laden down. They did not make a sound as they walked carefully. They went around the water until they got to the other side and weaved their way through the bogs and sink holes. Then Helsing got out a very old looking map and they headed to where the marker said so.
Then they began to look for something. Meanwhile Moka had sensed a presence again and Gin smelled them so they headed to where they could feel them. Once they got there Helsing and Tuskune looked at them and smirked.
As they faced the gang Moka said "you two stop you have nowhere to run". Helsing said " so it appears, vampire". Fang said " Tuskune we have him covered get over here quickly". Tsukune said "now why would I do that". Mizore said "what have you done to him Helsing".
Tsukune said with disgust " oh shut up bitches, I am here of my own free will". Kurumu said " Tsukune trust us he has done things to your mind". Tuskune said with a cold look "you are right something is wrong with my mind, but you got the cause wrong, I am here beside my fellow human because I did some thinking after our last fight with Teu, I then stopped being naive and saw you all for what you really are and I saw that he had been right all along, we were used and abused, we sacrificed everything for you all, and then we gave you our friendship, but I was still human, and deep down you all hated humans, and the feelings I had for you all were just walked all over, every day putting my life in danger, every moment in fear of getting hurt or getting my blood sucked, you say you love me and I am your friends then why do I have this holy lock, why do I have the scares of fights from when you would fight with one another".
Everyone had hurt looks on and Yukari went to say something and Tsuskune said "shut up, its my time to do the talking". He then smirked and looked at Moka saying " and is there none finer example of this than the tick herself, you suck my blood, I had feelings of love for you once, and you knew this but you lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter, why did you not just tell me that you hated me, that you value my blood more then my heart".
Helsing added "also tell me if I truly liked us both in any shape or form why did you turn us humans into tainted monsters, ravaging berserker's that are a far cry from human, in short I now hate you all to the core".
Tsukune said " the same for me I feel nothing but a burning rage in my heart for you all". Helsing said with a dangerous smile " and you only have yourselves to blame, you turned us into monsters and beings of hate and revenge". Tsukune said " and from the actions and prejudices of monsters I can see that we can never coexist".
Helsing said "so dose that explain everything clear enough monsters, we keep you alive to suffer as we have suffered"? They all had opened mouthed looks on their faces and the tainted human hunters backed into the water putting on their breathing masks.
Fang yelled out " no stop them they have underwater breathing apparatuses". Tsukune smirked as he pulled out a frag grenade pulled the pin with his teeth and threw it at the monsters. It exploded in a flash of fire and metal spikes. Everyone went down wounded beyond the ability to move.
When they came to they ran to the village of Yukari's parents out of fear. But they were to late, there was blood and fire everywhere. Once they got back to school they learned that Krumus mother and aunty had been found dead. The group were all grief stricken this time more so than when Teu betrayed them.
As the flames burned in the realm of the witches the shadow hunters Teu and Tuskune were still looking, searching for something but what. Tsukune and Teu then found what they were looking for the entrance to a secret network of tunnels that spanned the entire monster world.
There was even an exit to the human world. They decided to go there as Tuskune wanted to see his parents. He wanted to tell them everything about what had been happening but that would put them at risk.
As they came out in America Tsukune called his parents and told them that he was safe and told them that he could not tell them where he was or what he was doing only that he was no longer going to the academy.
Helsing was then surprised to learn after calling the American shadow hunters headquarters and going through a thorough identification proses that a few people had survived. He then asked them to pick him up as talking over the phone is not safe.
Soon a black car came along to pick them up and drive them back to the headquarters. Once they arrived there was a big welcome from the few survivors for the leader now retuned. He introduce Tsukune saying that he was a new shadow hunter and his best friend.
They got down to business and Helsing explained what had happened to him and Tuskune since they last saw him. Then they said that barley 500 members had survived the purge. Helsing said that they need to contact every shadow hunter they could and since they were going to war with all monster kind they would need to also get every monster hunter individuals or organisations up to speed and see if they will join them.
He said that Tuskune had been there the longest and could give them some good Intel. So while they questioned Tuskune and they rallied the monster hunters together. Helsing then asked them to organise all the gear they will need.
They would some sort of exoskeleton to be able to match a vampire. As the hunters came in from all over the world they got training if they had not had it before. They were trained in hand to hand combat, hand weapons, explosives and melee weapons. They had to be ready for anything, anywhere, anywhere so they were given drills to increase their stamina.
Tsukune got more training in weapon handling. Also they were trained to handle all the equipment needed for a heavy assault As the training went on so did the numbers of hunters from around the globe poured in. Then the heavy weaponry began to pour in.
Artillery, all hand weapons from snipers to grenade launches. Then there was a specialised group given the exoskeleton suits. They looked like a smaller bulkier version of space marine armour. Then as they organised all the weapons they would need. Helsing and Tsukune knew that they were no match against vampires head on.
