We all walked as Yukari took us to where the discipline committee was last seen.
"They were around here yesterday..." The young witch said as she looked around us. I took a look around. We were currently in the school basement which I was told, wasn't being used by the staff at the moment.
A strange odor came across me as I walked around, looking for a member of the committee.
The basement was quite large and looked like it was the same size as the school it was under. I was searching towards the far right corner when suddenly I found myself flying backwards.
A foot had hit me in the chest with such a force, I could only compare it to Anatomy. I quickly thrusted my head downward in the air to begin a flip.
I landed flat on my feet and ready to fight after sliding back a few inches.
"Are you okay?" Kurumu was concerned as she and the rest of the group came running over.
"I'm fine." I quickly turned my head over to see a member of the committee.
"Who are you?" He asked in a slightly cocky tone. The voice made me slightly irritated.
"I'm Jason Winfield, I'm here to ask a favor." My voice was clear and deep.
'Hopefully... I won't have to fight him...' I was able to feel the monster energy surging from him.
"Our leader isn't around anymore so I guess you could say... I'm the leader." He walked over to where we were.
"I'll do as you ask on one condition. Fight me and win." He walked over to the stairs leading out of the basement and turned back to us. "I'll be waiting outside for you." With that, he turned and walked out of the basement.
"You can't fight him. There's no way you'd win." Moka was slightly worried and the other friends gave me the same look.
"I'll be fine. Me taking Saizo down was nothing, the necklace supresses my monster energy as well as my power." I pointed to thw metal object hanging to my neck by the chain.
"Really?" Tsukune asked with a surprised look.
"Yes." I turned to start going up the stairs when Kurumu grabbed me.
"Wait! There has to be a different way." A look of worry was obvious on her face. I put my hand in her soft blue hair and looked her in the eyes.
"I'll be fine, Kurumu." She blushed slightly and looked up at me with a strange look.
"Just... Don't die like a dumbass..." Her voice was soft and filled with fear.
I just smiled and continued up the steps. The members of our group stayed off to the sides of the battlefield that our enemy had chosen.
"Looks like you actually think you can win!" He laughed and made me slightly angry.
I watched as small spikes began to form around his body. All over his arms were at least 4 inch long needles that were ready to cut into my flesh.
'Now that he's changed forms... it's my turn.' I took a deep breath as I grabbed onto the dragon hanging around my neck. It had been a long time since I had to pull it off.
With a slight tug, I heard the metal click as the magnets on the back seperated. I clenched my fists after placing the necklace into my pocket and let my energy out.
My hair turned red and my skin began to heat up. Soon enough, an orange, flame aura surrounded my body.
The power inside of me had been building ever since I had gotten stronger on the outside.
"Let's do this." Suddenly, the committee member ran at me with incredible speed, only second to a werewolf.
He swiped again and again with his spikes as he did spins and twirls to keep his movement going. I dodged left and right, up and down to avoid his deadly needles.
Her went for a throat jab but I stepped out of the way and shot a small fireball at him. In my true monster state, my flames were much hotter that a regular fire.
I heard him let out a small grunt as he jumped back.
"That hurt..." Filled with anger, he began to charge at me without any formation or technique.
He swung his left leg up immediately after a punch and hit the side of my head with a loud crack. I stood back up quickly, not even phased by his attack.
As he came running again, I put my hands together and shot a large flame at him as if it were like a gun.
The steady beam of fire continued to burn him as he screamed in pain. Still not giving up, he forced his way through and swiped at my head.
I ducked and did a turn before planting my foot on the side of his face and saw him fly off into a tree.
The tree fell over the other way and he sat there unable to move after the attack. I walked over with my flames still burning bright.
As I stood over him, I opened my hand to let a flame hover above it.
"Are we done now?" I asked calmly. He raised his arms up to defend.
"No more! No more! You're stronger than me... that means you're really strong. Like really strong." He said. He gained the strength to stand and looked up.
"What's up with the sky?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow. I looked up and got confused too.
"I don't know.." The sky had turned a blood red color.
"Jason." I heard a voice that sounded like Moka, but a little more mature.
I turned around and saw Moka had moved to where we were. My flames still covered my body as I looked in slight shock.
Moka's body had matured into more of an adult.
"You still have another opponent. I want to see what you're made of." She lunged in for a kick to my head, but I reached an arm up and blocked it.
The kick had a loud boom and I slid several feet after the vampire kicked me.
"What? You blocked it?" She opened her eyes wide in shock. I glanced over at our friends to see they all had wide open mouths.
I threw a flame ball at her but she dodged it with ease. One after another, I threw fireballs in Moka's direction but she dodged as she moved closer.
When she got close enough to hit me, I stepped out of the way and burned her back.
"That stings!" She stood back up and came in for another attack.
I slammed my fist into the ground and a small explosion consumed the area around me. I looked after the smoke had cleared away to see I had actually knocked Moka over. I hadn't even expected it to have any impact at all.
"I'll admit... you're pretty strong." She walked over and I saw her up close. Her blood red eyes and long silver hair all looked good on her mature body. "You're cute too." Inner Moka smiled as she started to walk even closer.
"Wait... what?!" I just realized what she said as she was standing right in front of me. She leaned in close and whispered.
"You're cute." Then she leaned in and kissed me! The situation felt slightly wrong because it felt like she was older that me. I had already put on the necklace, so my aura was gone and unable to stop her from kissing me.
I tried to pull away, but she held me tight by the shoulders. When she let go, I saw something I never thought I would before. Inner Moka blushed at me and turned around.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." Then she walked over to Tsukune, who was so dumbfounded, looked to be on the verge of tears. Inner Moka said she was sorry about that and that the outer Moka didn't feel the same way. Then she grabbed her necklace and pushed it back onto the chain around her neck.
The rest of the group stared at me as I looked at all of them.
"What in the actual hell just happened?!" Kurumu yelled.
"I think that Inner Moka likes him!" Yukari yelled in a childish voice. Mizore walked up and grabbed my sleeve.
"He's mine." Her cold voice echoed through my head.
"M-Mizore?" I was really surprised at hearing her say something like that.
"Let's talk abkut that after we save the school... okay?" Mizore shifted her signature lollipop as she finished her sentence.
"Y-Yeah..." I said happily.
"Am I the only one still thinking about the fact that Inner Moka likes this dumbass?!" Kurumu yelled.
