Masato has awoken to his true powers?! And...IT'S REALLY SURPRISING, ISN'T IT?! Well, let's continue from where we left off...
Closing his eyes, Masato crossed his arms and began to chant, "Frilly meats...frilly meats...frilly meats...frilly meats...frilly meats..."
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Queen Charlotte exclaimed in confusion.
Suddenly, Masato's eyes back snapped open, and his immense aura changed from a golden yellow to a purplish black. His irises grew a reddish tint, and his hair also became black and lost its spikey luster. Masato's expression became more demonic and sinister, and an intense chill crawled up Queen Charlotte's spine, her grip around Himawari's seemingly lifeless body becoming tighter.
"I SHALL DESTROY YOU...WITH THE POWER OF MY BURNING FISTS OF TRAGIC MIGHT!" Masato sneered, his body still transforming.
'Oh my god...he's going to kill me...a man is going to kill me...a man...' Queen Charlotte thought, her mind racing. Her heart was practically pounding out of her chest.
Then...a thought came to her. 'Yes...I know how to kill this man...once and for all...' she planned, smiling wickedly.
Meanwhile, down below by the diner entrance, Chagecha spat up blood as Yangoki Beast smashed him head-first into the ground several times over. The fedora-wearing hero had been momentarily distracted by Masato's sudden awakening to his yanki power, and now he was getting pummeled. Aku, however, was just sitting nearby in a cross-legged position and drinking green herbal tea.
"I...I COULD REALLY USE YOUR HELP RIGHT NOW!" Chagecha screamed before being punched hard in the gut again.
Quickly finishing off the rest of the tea, Aku stood up and stretched. "Yeah, yeah...I'll be right there..."
"MAN, IT SUCKS TO BE USELESS!" Longhorn Onizawa remarked from the sidelines.
"...At least, my powers will definitely get revealed next chapter...hopefully..." Kotarou said, feeling more and more depressed by the second.
Aku unsheathed his black sword once again and held it out in front of him, its tip pointing right at Yangoki Beast's back. Closing his eyes, Aku muttered something under his breath, "Magnum Stretch..."
Suddenly, coils of green energy began to swirl around the blade of the sword, and Aku bent down into a jumping position. A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes for a moment.
Then, Aku dashed forward and screamed, "YA...KAAAAAAAAATA-KAAAAAA!!"
With a single slash of his blade, Aku completely sliced Yangoki Beast in two just as it was about to punch Chagecha again. It seemed the battle was finally over.
"Heh...not yet."
Suddenly, the two halves of Yangoki Beast's body immediately reconnected, and now it appeared as if it had not been hurt at all. "That was a nice try," it taunted, "But...you'll need to do better than that."
Aku was a bit bewildered for a moment, but then he regained his cool. His sword still in hand, the orange-haired man smirked and replied, "Well, I was hoping I could have killed you with that technique, so I guess...I'll need to get more serious...YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG-MAN!"
'...HUH?!'
Turning to Longhorn Onizawa and Kotarou, Aku said, "Take Chagecha and patch him up. He's too injured to fight anymore right now. He'll be needed for the battle against Steven, though. I'll finish this guy off myself."
Nodding, the two currently useless members of the group quickly lifted up Chagecha and carried him off the battlegrounds. Once Chagecha was gone, Aku pressed his index finger and his middle finger against his forehead and whispered:
"紡績クローバー...(1)"
Masato's body had taken on a complete transformation now. His whole body except for his head was wrapped in a long black leathery substance; almost passable as clothes, but it was obviously something much more, created out of his own yanki energy. His hair was now long and pitch-black, and it fell behind his back. A small red dot with cracks forming around it had appeared on his forehead. Like before, his aura was now purplish-back and his eyes were blood-red. He seemed like a completely different person than he was only last chapter.
"Do you like it?" Masato asked Queen Charlotte, who had left Himawari behind and was now standing up to face him, "This is what I shall call...my 'Behemoth Cual' Mode."
"..." Queen Charlotte said nothing in response.
Smirking, Masato said, "Look, let me clear one thing up before I annihilate you atom by atom...I'm not mad at you for taking Himawari as your own."
"...What?"
"You see," Masato continued, his face calm yet frightening at the same time, "I am Masato, but I am also NOT Masato. Do you get it? I am everything he is...and everything he is not."
"Are you...a separate entity?" Queen Charlotte asked.
Masato shook his head. "No. Like I said, I am Masato...and I am also NOT Masato."
"ARGH! THIS IS GETTING ANNOYING!" Queen Charlotte snapped, and then she charged at Masato.
'Hmm...blindly charging at me like that...she must have a plan...' Masato figured.
Suddenly, just when they were only a few inches from each other, Queen Charlotte ducked down and thrust her hand forward and a long black needle emerged from her palm and pierced into Masato's leg before he even reacted.
"HA HA HA HA! NOW...YOU'LL BECOME A KITTY TOO!" Queen Charlotte cackled...but then Masato smashed his foot into her face and she was sent tumbling backwards as blood poured from her nose.
Pulling the needle out of his leg, Masato crushed it to pieces in his hands and snarled, "Hmph...I thought you had a good plan in mind...you idiot..."
Queen Charlotte felt burning tears leak out of her eyes as she struggled to stand up. Although her face was covered in blood and her nose was a mess, she still wasn't out yet. 'I...I can't lose...I don't want to lose her...not again...'
"Girl...you're don't want to lose Himawari, right?" Masato suddenly said, and Queen Charlotte let out a gasp.
Suddenly, Masato sat down and crossed his legs. Using one hand to support his head, he said, "I'll listen to your story before I kill you. I love lesbian dramas...best thing since 'Cheese-In-A-Can'!"
Queen Charlotte had no idea what her opponent was plotting, but she decided it would be best to just go through with it. After all...if she was going to be defeat soon anyway, why not create a bit of dramatic back story?
"Fine...I'll tell you...back at my school, I started a relationship with another woman...a classmate of mine. We were so happy together, and we loved each other very much...it made me so glad that I was able to be with such a wonderful angel like her. However, one day...somehow, a group of boys in our class found out, and...and...and they killed her. They killed my Kitty! They were thrown in jail for it, but I knew that when they got out, they might come after me next...so I used all the rage and sorrow I felt and fought and fought until I became the number one yankee of Shitagi High...because I miss her."
"Kitty was your personal nickname for her...?" Masato asked with a bored look on his face.
Queen Charlotte nodded. "Yes."
Standing back up, Masato brushed himself off. Cracking his knuckles, he stated, "That was a nice story...too bad it sucked. Now...let's get this over with."
Suddenly, a copy of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn fell at Masato's feet.
'OOH...I HAVEN'T BEATEN THIS GAME YET! DAMN LUCIA KEEPS MESSING ME UP!'
