The Curse of the Crescent Moon

Chapter 12: Life Lesson: Crosses don't always work on Vampires


"Why're you running, bro?" The kid said, running right next to me.

"Ha! I was trying to lure you into my trap, and now I have!" Ryohei shouted.

"Oh? Really?"

"Yes! Maximum Cannon!" He shouted, punching the kid.

"You missed." Makyura said, grinning.

"Well, you've had your laugh, now let me have mine." He said, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a ring.

"This ring is on the same level as the Vongola rings. It's called an Arc Ring. It might not be as good as a Vongola Ring, but it gets the job done." He placed the ring on his finger, and activated his flame.

The darkness of the room was suddenly illuminated by a blast of sunlight.

"You see how powerful my flame is, bro? It could light up an entire baseball stadium. Out of the seven Arc Guardians, I have the largest flame."

"You may have the largest flame, but it's also the weakest flame." Ryohei said, much to the ire of Makyura.

"Once I get past the large light source and focus, I can easily see where you are!" Ryohei shouted.

What the hell?! Is he charging straight at me, when I could easily open a box weapon and kill him?! Dense nothing, this guys a certified nut job! Makyura said, jumping to the side.

"I almost got you that time!" Ryohei shouted.

"Right, and that's going to be the last time that you do!" Makyura shouted, opening a box weapon.

"Come out, Sun Tiger!" Makyura said, as a tiger that looked like a living blade came out of the box. This tiger had a metallic armored body, a sansetsukon tail, and gauntlets on its legs. It also had two metallic wings sticking out of the back of it.

"Sun Tiger, your breakfast is right over there!"

"Grrrrooooowl!!" The tiger shouted, leaping at Ryohei.

"Maximum Cannon!" Ryohei shouted, aiming a punch directly at the tigers head.

"Sorry, but that won't work." Makyura said.

"What?!"

"Due to my activation flame, my tigers armor will regenerate endlessly, making it nearly impossible for you to win!"

"Now then… attack!" At those words, the tiger ripped Ryohei's suit open.

"Hm, you do have a nice body. When I see a body like yours…" Makyura said, starting to shake. "It makes me want to drain every last drop of blood out of it!" He then called his tiger back to its' box.


"What?!" Tsuna shouted from where he was watching everything.

"It's quite simple to explain, really." Kyousuke said. "Makyura has a blood fetish. Whenever he sees a body that piques his interest, he turns into a homicidal, blood obsessed maniac. He would do anything at this point in time to drain that kid of his blood."


"Blood strike!" Makyura shouted, and a viscous red liquid shot out at Ryohei from the cracks in the ground.

"Is this… blood?!"

"That's right… I can use the blood in my body to attack… and I can use it to drain every last drop of blood from your body!"

He then opened another box weapon.

"Sun box weapon, Sun Scythe." He then brought the scythe blade down on Ryohei's shoulder, and began sucking the blood out of it.

"M-Maximum Caaaaaaaaannon!" Ryohei shouted, punching into Makyura at point blank. He stared at Makyuras' unmoving form for a few seconds, and then he turned and walked away.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Makyura shouted, shooting a stream of blood from his fingertip, piercing Ryohei's leg.

"Agh!!" Ryohei shouted, falling to the ground, clutching his leg.

"Now then, it's time to finish what I started…" Makyura said, bringing out his scythe again.

"Storm Arrow!" A voice shouted, piercing Makyura with a bunch of storm arrows.

"What?! More interferences?!"

"Let the lawn head go and I'll make this quick!" Gokudera shouted, pointing his bow at Makyura.

"And what if I say no?"

"Then this will happen!" Gokuera shouted, letting loose a tornado arrow that blew off the top half of Makyura's body.

"Alright, that's one down!" Gokudera said, turning towards Ryohei.

"Squid head, look out!" Ryohei shouted, but it was too late.

Gokudera stared down at the two red spears pushing through his lower body. He then turned and saw what was left of Makyura was slowly reforming itself to a human shape.

"This is my power: blood body. Any physical attack will just go right through my body like a liquid…"

"But, then he can't be killed!" Ryohei shouted.

"No, if he can live, he can die!" Gokudera shouted, loading a tornado arrow.

"Fire!" The arrow blew straight through Makyura's head, decapitating him.

"Boy, it is very rude to blow someone's head off when they're talking. You should respect your elders."

"Elders?! There's no freaken' way you're older than me, shrimp!" Gokudera shouted.

"Oh, really? I am over 11,000 years old, impudent brat."

"What? But that's impossible! Are you immortal or something?!"

"Of course. It's one of the defining qualities of a vampire."

"Wait, so you're a sleeping-in-a-coffin, drinking-nothing-but-blood never-going-out-in-sunlight vampire?!"

"Yep!" Makyura said, smiling like a little kid.

"Well, in that case…" Gokudera said, reaching into his pocket.

"Take this! Cross attack!" He shouted, throwing a cross at Makyura.

"Gokudera-san, you've seen too many vampire movies. Crosses do nothing to REAL Vampires. Real Vampires are made of blood, and are required to drink people's blood to replenish our bodies."

"Damn… is there really nothing we can do?" Gokudera muttered.

"Now, if you would just step to the side, I have some unfinished business with that sun guardian of yours." Makyura said, slashing Gokudera with claws formed of blood.

"No way… I… am the bosses right hand man… and I can't justify being that if I let anyone die…" Gokudera said, reaching into his pocket. He then turned to Ryohei.

"Lawn head, get out of here! I'll hold him off for as long as I can!" Ryohei reacted to that instantly, running as fast as his injured leg would let him.

"No!" Makyura said, running past Gokudera after Ryohei.

"I've finally decided what I want my new power to be…" Gokudera said, activating his ring flame. This caused Makyura to turn around.

"Vongola Box Version 2.0, ope-" Before he could open the box, however, Makyura slashed deep into his chest.

"If I leave you like that without any medical attention, you'll probably die in an hour or two, so I'll just go find my dear little sun guardian." Makyura said.

"Now, if I was an injured weak little human, where would I go to hide?" He said, thinking for a little.

"No, this is too much trouble. You can go find him, my minions." Makyura said, pulling a few strands of his hair out. He then tossed the hair onto the ground, where they melted and reformed into small amoeba like substances.


"I should be safe here…" Ryohei said, lying back against the buildings generator.

"I found you, sun guardian…" A voice said.

"Ryohei looked down at the growing mass on the ground, which shifted into a human shape."

"Bro, I'm tiring off this game awfully fast. Can't you just give in and let me suck out your blood?" Makyura said, reforming his scythe.

"Fine…"

"Good, now, it's feeding time!" Makyura said, bringing his scythe down on Ryohei's head.

"…Or not!" Ryohei shouted, pulling a large tube out from behind his back, blocking the scythe blade.

"So? My scythe can break through that…!" Suddenly, it happened. The scythehad struck into the generator cable, causing every last bit of electricity in the building to be channeled into the conductive scythe, or, basically, Makyura.

"I figured, that since your body's made of blood, it would be extremely conductive to electricity." Ryohei said, grinning as Makyura's body shot apart.

"Good, now, I better go see how Squid head is doing…" He said, limping towards the electrical rooms' exit, when the last of the electricity was channeled in, killing the lights.


"What happened? Huh?" Sakori asked.

"My guess would be a power outage. Go see what the hell that brat is doing."

"I'd be glad to! Now that we can finally fight, I'm tired of sitting around!" Sakori said, going towards the exit that lead to the 10th floor.

"Boy, this is going to be a long walk, especially in the pitch black." Sakori muttered, walking down the stairs.

"You can say that again." A voice said.

"Who the hell said that?!" Sakori shouted, pulling out a box weapon.

"I? I am Mukuro Rokudo."


"Do you honestly think you've defeated me?" Makyura said, grinning.

"Damn! How the hell am I supposed to defeat you?!" Ryohei shouted.

"You're not!" Makyura shouted, charging at Ryohei.

Luckily, though, Ryohei managed to reach the door, and slammed it shut to block out Makyura. Unfortunately, though, the blood that made up his body was slowly sliding under the door.

Knowing that he only had a few seconds left, Ryohei looked around desperately and grabbed a fire extinguisher.

When Makyura reformed himself, Ryohei shot him with the fire extinguisher at full blast, then opened a door and slammed it shut.

"Damn human… I tire of these games…" Makyura said, reforming himself.

He then yanked the door open and walked into the room. Suddenly, the door slammed shut.

"I see you fell for my trap." Ryohei said.

"What do you mean?" Makyura shouted.

"Do you know where you are?" Ryohei said, flipping on the lights.

"This is…!"

"That's right, a huge storage room. Basically, it's a huge freezer." Ryohei said, turning the temperature dial to sub-zero.

"No!" Makyura said, reaching towards Ryohei, even as ice began forming around his body. In his last move, he slammed his fist down on the control box, preventing the door from opening and the room from heating.

"Now… we're both trapped here…" He said before the ice spread over his mouth, freezing him solid.


"Hiruko!" Sakori said, running in injured.

"What is it, Sakori?"

"It's Mukuro Rokudo… he managed to get in… I managed to injure him, but he'll be coming." Sakori said.

"Sakori, it won't matter. Mukuro Rokudo is nothing but an weakling. He's nothing without Chrome Dokuro, who's currently hospitalized. Knowing him, he's probably run away already. That, or he managed to sneak up here without our knowing."

"But what's really pathetic… is that I have to tell you this." He said, glaring at Sakori. "Right, Mukuro Rokudo?"

Sakori stared down at the ground for a few seconds before looking up. When she finally lifted her head, something seemed different about her.

"When did you find out?" "Sakori" asked.

"Oh, from the beginning. You see, one of my personal sayings is 'knowledge is power'. I knew from the beginning the scope of your powers." Hiruko said, grinning.

"Well, what happened to the saying 'power corrupts'?" Mukuro asked.

"Yes, and 'absolute power corrupts absolutely'." Hiruko said, grinning.

"So, you have 'absolute power'?" Mukuro asked.

"Would you like me to prove it?"

"Yes, but this isn't quite the body for it…"

"Well then, please take me to your body." Hiruko said, smirking.

"Right this way."


"Damn… I can barely move… but I gotta… get that flag…" Gokudera said, standing up.

"First… I gotta do something about these wounds…"


"So, now that you're back in your body, why don't we get things started?" Hiruko said, grinning.

"Fine by me."

Why are they just standing there?! Sakori thought.

Well, I might as well deal with them.

"Storm Arrows!" Gokudera shouted, shooting a mass of arrows at the girl.

"Wow, I almost forgot you were there. After all, you certainly are a poor specimen of man hood."

"Yeah, like you have a right to talk."

Are his wounds glowing? Sakori thought.

That bastard! He's using his sun flames to heal himself! Sakori thought, opening a box weapon.

"Broadsword box weapon, Storm Sword." She said, pulling out a broad sword.

"You're not a very good long range fighter, are you?" Gokudera said, grinning.

"Oh, really?" She said, swinging her sword, which, even at the fifteen foot distance, cut into him.

"How the hell did you do that?!" Gokudera shouted.

"My sword can slice through the boundaries of wind. It creates a kamaitachi that, due to the storm flames, is unlockable. And being undetectable, it's nearly impossible to dodge." She said, swinging again. Only this time, Gokudera jumped out of the way.

"How the hell did you dodge?!" She shouted.

"I fight all the time with a swordsman. He uses swings like that, and I consider myself a genius of sorts at calculating angles, so, even if I can't see it, I can tell it's general direction and dodge it." Gokudera said.

"And now, it's my turn." This time, he opened the Vongola Box Version 2.0.

"Weapon, Storm Gauntlets." On Gokudera's arms were two gauntlets on his arms with "X" on them. On the right handed one, there was a skull head at the end and a slot in the back. On the left handed one there was an opening at the front and a slot across the front of it.

"Storm Arrows!" Gokudera shouted, shooting arrows out of the left handed gauntlet. In the confusion of dodging the arrows, he charged straight up to her, and suddenly an arm blade of storm flames appeared out of the left handed gauntlet.

He then cut into her with the storm blade, knocking her to the ground.

"Now, it's time for my last move." Gokudera said, slipping a dynamite into the slot on the back of his right handed gauntlet. When he did this, a blast of energy shot out of the skull head, with a powered up dynamite shooting out of it. When this dynamite exploded, it unleashed a rain-storm flame blast onto Sakori, making it incredibly difficult to move.

"Sorry, but I can't waste time on you… I need to get to the flag… before I run out of energy…" He said, limping away.


Mukuro: So, how was it? You should have a pretty good idea about the fighting styles of two of the guardians, storm and sun. Also, yes, freezers do run on alternate power sources.
