"YOU'RE MINE!"
Ulysses leapt out at Tsukune and sent him flying though the wall. Since the crime had been solved the barrier that kept them trapped inside had disappeared.
"Guys, you better leave this to Tsukune and me." said Moka.
"A Greek diamond dragon… I'll take your word for it." said Mizore.
Moka raced out to join Tsukune.
"None of this seems weird to you, Izumi?" asked Kurumu.
"I've worked for the most famous witch in the world for about two years, and in that time I've seen a lot of strange things, but I will admit this one takes the cake."
Ulysses punched Tsukune in the gut and sent him flying, then he ran quickly behind him and kicked him into the air, then he jumped up and punched him back into the ground, then he came down and stomped on his gut. Tsukune yelled out in pain.
"I LOVE DOING THAT!" said Ulysses.
"You overgrown lizard… Just because a woman wouldn't return your love you think that gives you the right to kill all these innocent people… You will know your place!"
Moka ran up and kicked Ulysses in the jaw. He was knocked back about thirty feet.
"Tsukune, are you alright?"
"Ugh… I'm… fine… just a… broken rib or two." he said struggling to get to his feet.
"Don't worry… The vampire blood flowing through your veins will take care of that."
"Four murders, an attempted fifth, and now we're fighting a dragon… This is without a doubt the worst field trip ever."
"What are you talking about? You just made five million dollars."
"Well, there's that."
"Let's just hope we live long enough for you to collect."
Ulysses got back on his feet. His diamond-like scales glittered in the moonlight.
"You shouldn't have done that..." he said smiling and spitting a broken fang out of his mouth "I would have made all your deaths quick and painless, but now I'm going to cut you up and eat you for dinner!"
"Dinner? Dude, it's two in the morning."
"Whatever. You're still going to die!"
Ulysses opened his mouth and let out a huge burst of white fire. Moka dashed to the side and Tsukune jumped into the air, then he conjured a ball of energy and through it at Ulysses, but it seemed to have little, if any effect.
"Greek diamond dragons have very tough thick skin, and despite their huge size they are very fast. All in all they are very hard to take down, even for vampires." said Moka.
"Thanks for the heads up."
Ulysses charged at Moka and Tsukune, who attempted to jump over him, but when they made it to the other side he smacked them to the ground with his tail.
"Well… at least the sand is soft." said Tsukune.
"This beach will be your grave!"
Ulysses attempted to do a body slam, but Moka and Tsukune leapt up and dodged it. Moka seized the opportunity to throw some dirt into Ulysses' eyes.
"Tsukune, pick him up by the tail and throw him!"
Tsukune did just that. To gain some momentum he started spinning around and around until he finally threw him, the Moka jumped up into the air and kicked him to the ground. Unfortunately Ulysses got right back up.
"Oh right, the sand."
Moka and Tsukune were doing their best, but no amount of energy blasts or kicks seemed to get through Ulysses' skin.
"This is not going well."
"Let's see you dodge this!"
Ulysses fired a giant ball of fire at them, but as he expected Moka and Tsukune dodged it. While they were distracted Ulysses charged up and punched Moka so hard that she crashed into Tsukune.
"Alright, that's it!"
Tsukune cupped his hands together and gathered his energy.
"Uli…kai'e'…emake…LOA!"
Tsukune fired his blue wave of death at Ulysses, but the dragon jumped right into the blast and was plowing through it.
"NO WAY!"
Ulysses emerged right in Tsukune's face and punched him. Tsukune was sent flying into the ocean.
"So this is what the legendary super ghoul is supposed to be… What a laugh!"
"No! Tsukune!"
"That does it… Come on girls, let's get him!"
Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari, and Ruby all ran at Ulysses. Kurumu tried slashing at him with her claws, but they all broke against the creature's ultra-thick skin.
"You broke my nails, you *******!"
"Take this!"
Mizore tried firing several ice daggers and one big one at Ulysses, but he just melted them. Yukari tried conjuring some heavy objects to drop on him, but he just beat them away, and Ruby's attacks weren't any better. Meanwhile Tsukune was making his way back to shore.
"What do we have to do to stop this guy?... Wait a minute… that's it!"
When Tsukune made it back to the shore he raised his hand in the air.
"To me Kaiser Katana!"
The Kaiser Katana came falling out of the sky. Tsukune caught it in his hand.
"Do you know how to use that thing?" asked the voice of Udar.
"Uh… no… You never taught me how. You only gave it to me last night."
"I'll give you the basics… Channel your energy into the sword… then once you have enough let it loose in one attack."
"And this will take care of Ulysses?"
"In a word, yes."
"I just want to say that you're all very attractive young ladies, it's a shame I have to kill you."
"Get away from my friends you murderous lizard!"
Ulysses spun around and saw Tsukune charging up to him.
"What? Where did he get that sword?"
"Sword slays dragon, Spade Slash!"
Tsukune swung the sword at Ulysses, a huge stream of energy whipped out of it and struck the dragon dead on and sent him crashing to the ground. There was spilled blood on the sand.
"Is he…"
"Looks like it…" said Moka.
"Well… at least we won't have to look at his ugly face again." said Kurumu.
Suddenly…
"Who's face is ugly?"
"AGH!"
"Mr. Super ghoul… I'm going to rip you into a hundred and ninety four pieces and mail you to every country!"
Ulysses was starting to get up and prepared for another attack.
"ENOUGH!"
Ulysses was suddenly bound in golden chains. The kids looked around to see who had done it.
"Headmaster!"
"Is everyone okay?"
"Can we ask a question of our own first?" asked Yukari.
"I don't see the harm."
"How did you get here so fast? It took us all day to get here and now here you are in a couple hours."
"Simple…" said the bus driver "After Ms. Nekonome told us that she couldn't get back into the manor, we took a shortcut."
"Okay… Well to answer your question… We're fine, but Mrs. Esmeralda and the rest of her servants are dead…"
"And Tsukune solved the crime." said Moka.
"I think it's time we read from her will." said the Headmaster.
"Her will?"
"Yes. Before your little field trip began she wrote to me and told me of her intent."
"And you just let it happen?"
"She assured me that you all would survive the weekend. Now to business, in her last will and testament it says… If Tsukune Aono should solve the crime… and we know he will… he shall inherit not only the promised five million dollars, but half of my entire fortune."
"Half?"
"Uh… I'm not sure what the exact number is but… That's a lot." said Yukari.
"It says the rest is to be divided equally among her remaining servants. So Izumi, since everyone else except Ulysses is dead, I guess it goes to you."
"Did you hear that sweetie?" she said to her baby "We're going to be okay!"
"Yadda yadda yadda, as for the rest of my assets, I leave them to be divided equally among Tsukune Aono and my remaining servants."
"Uh… Can we divide up Mrs. Esmeralda's belongings later?" asked Mizore "I am so tired."
Tsukune had completely forgotten that it was now about fifteen minutes past 2 am.
"And can we go somewhere else?" asked Kurumu "I do not want to spend another minute in this manor until daylight."
"I know a good hotel in town." said Izumi.
While the others were getting their stuff from their rooms, Moka pulled Tsukune aside. She had still yet to place her rosario back around her neck.
"Yes Moka?"
"You do remember that I told you a long time ago to keep the other me happy Tsukune?"
"Yes…"
"Not too long ago you made her a promise…"
"And… what of it?"
Moka moved a lot closer to him; she was looking right in his eyes. Tsukune jumped when he realized where her hands were.
"I just wanted you to know… she's getting impatient… we both are."
She winked.
"Uh… Well…"
Tsukune knew that since Mrs. Esmeralda had left him a tremendous amount of money that was no longer going to be a problem.
"I don't think that she… I mean… you two… will have to wait much longer."
"Tsukune…"
"AGH!"
Tsukune jumped as someone placed a hand on his shoulder. He spun around and saw it was only Izumi.
"Don't do that!"
"Sorry… I just wanted to thank you…"
"You shouldn't be thanking me… Yukari's the one that gave you the antidote."
"Yes, but you solved the mystery. When Mrs. Esmeralda was murdered I was worried about my own future and my baby's. But now we have nothing to worry about. And for that I thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Oh and before I forget… Mrs. Esmeralda's will said that we were to give you this."
Izumi gave him a mysterious looking black box.
"What is this?"
"It's something she left for you. I have no idea what it is. She put some kind of spell or something on it so only you can open it."
"How do I do that?"
"Just place both your hands on it and tell it to. And Mrs. Esmeralda's instructions were that you should wait to open it until you're alone."
