This is the 15 chapter. Again sorry about the suspense which this is the second part. Also, I've been doing some research of the manga 'Maken-Ki' which it might take a while for this story to get done. Anyway, I don't own the series of Maken-Ki.
Tenbi Academy
After Haruko and Zane made their way towards the third-floor, getting ready to face Demitra while both Takeru and Inaho was in the second-floor about to face Syria. Azuki was currently facing against Yan which she was holding on against her rival, but Yan was proven too powerful, even though Azuki manage to counter her attacks thanks to her training session with her brother. However, both Azuki and Yan were exhausted, banged up, and their clothes were tattered, only their bras were shown.
"I got to admit, you have some impressive sturdiness." Yan said with a smirk. "Looks like I underestimate you."
"You damn right you did." Azuki said with a smirk. "Your not too bad yourself, now I see why Zane have fought you twice."
That got Yan's attention.
"As far as I know, you were my brother's rival and you've been a good friend to him." Azuki explains. "Yet, you betrayed his trust and for what? You were following some damn orders from Kamigari?"
Yan glared at her rival which she knew that Azuki was right.
"Damn you Yan, you've worked with my brother for the past 2 years!" Azuki shouted with anger. "He trusted you and you betrayed him."
"That's because he left us!" Yan shouted back. "Your brother left us for his reason, he saw how the way we work and he didn't accepted it. Zane had worked with us for 2 years yes, but he didn't like our line of work...which it's assassination."
That got Azuki shocked.
"Zane have fought terrorist and Maken Users for only 9 years before he even met us." Yan explains. "He has potential to become part of Kamigari which of course we haven't told him. Your brother was even stronger than us and he would've become one of us and work with Kamigari, his powers would be of use to them. However, he left Team Venus because of our line of work and if we told him that he'll be in Kamigari, of course he would refuse without any second thoughts."
With that, Azuki lowered her eyes to the ground, clenching her fist with anger. She knew that her brother was stronger than her, but if Zane work with Kamigari, then she'll never see him again which they were reunited for only months. Azuki looked at Yan with pure anger in her eyes.
"Yan, I'll never forgive you." Azuki said with anger. "If Kamigari would go after my brother, I'm gonna hunt them down and kill them."
Yan was shocked of her rival's reaction which this was new to her.
"Zane have protected Tenbi and the world for only 11 years. Now, it's my turn to protect him from Kamigari." Azuki said with her resolve. "And I'm starting with you!"
With that both Azuki and Yan collided each other with their fist and feet and started a fierce clash of punches and kicks while blocking each others attacks, some of their attacks ended up hitting them but they won't back down as their clash created a fierce wind with the amount of force. When their fists connected to each others faces, they were knocked out with enough force as they looked at each other with a glare.
"If that's how you feel, then you made a mistake. Rerii" Yan used her element as she charged after Azuki.
"Nullify Dropkick" Azuki counter her attack by kicking Yan in the ribs, causing her to grunted as Azuki unleashed her next attack.
"Gale" Azuki kicked Yan in face with the explosive sound. Azuki panted heavily due to the fight she in, she never thought that Yan would be this strong since she did saw her brother fight against Yan a while back.
"Heh, I told you you're gonna pay for that since you rubbed me the wrong way." Azuki said with a smirk. However, Yan charge after her.
"Damn it, let me rest a little!" Azuki shouted as Yan plan to kick her, but Azuki grabbed her leg while using her elbow to hit the knee, causing Yan to grit her teeth in pain.
"Headlong Rush" Azuki used her flurrys of punches and kicks against Yan.
"Platinum Strike" Azuki then used her punches against Yan, knocking her out.
'I may have manage to hold her off thanks to Zane's sparing, but she's not giving up that easily. I've got to finish her!' Azuki thought with serious expression.
'That girl...she's gotten stronger! I can't fight her with average attack...in that case.' Yan thought seriously as she unleashed her Element.
"Reichan" Yan used her lightning element to coat her fists, leaving Azuki shocked.
"My 'Rerii' cannot yet turn my entire body into lightning." Yan explains. "However, 'Reichan' only affects my fist. However, it can turn them into pure lightning. It's my trump card to use against strong enemies. I'll admit you are a strong warrior."
Azuki couldn't help but smirk at her rival.
"It's not like you using your trump card. However, when you put it that way, I'm going to give my all." Azuki said with a smirk as the two used their final blow.
"HERE I GO, RAIDEN HOUSUI"
"DAR CLAW"
When their final attacks collide, they stand in the opposite direction without looking at each other until. Yan collapsed toward the ground and knocked out.
"...With this, you defeated me. This is your victory." Yan admits, leaving Azuki smirked.
"I may not have killed you, but I'm satisfied enough for my victory." Azuki said as she left without looking at Yan, sighed. "Damn, it looks like my insides are a mess."
The winner is...Azuki Shinatsu.
Azuki went on ahead to catch up with the others. However, what she saw was that both Takeru and Inaho was having a bit of trouble with Syria since she used her Jingu to push them back. Takeru was pushed back when landed on the floor, next to Azuki.
"Um...what are you doing?" Azuki asked, raising her eyebrow.
"Oh Azuki, I take it you won?" Takeru asked.
"Yeah, but you didn't answer my question." Azuki answered with dull expression.
Takeru got up as he answered.
"Inaho and I were fighting against Syria." Takeru answered with sad expression. "But I still refuse to hit a girl. I'll find a way to fight."
"Seriously!?" Azuki said with a glare. "Didn't you listen what Zane have told you? Look, if you don't take it seriously, then you won't save Himegami."
"I know that but..." Takeru said. "I'm not very smart...So I don't know what I'll do when the time comes...but...I..."
Azuki narrowed her eyes.
"I CAN'T HELP IT! THAT I LOVE WOMEN!" Takeru shouted. "ESPECIALLY ONES WITH HUGE BOOBIES!"
Azuki face palmed herself with annoyance as Takeru staring at her breasts, but she hit his head hard with her fist, leaving a big bump on his head.
"Who said you can look at mine, you damn slacker?!" Azuki shouted at him as she smirked. "But still you're right about one thing. You really are stupid."
Takeru felt depressed after what Azuki have told him.
"But I guess you're matured, at least a little." Azuki told him. "Now get your ass in gear and beat her."
Takeru nods as he goes out to help Inaho which she having some trouble when she was pushed back by Syria.
'Syria's ability is Reversal, so if I want to get past her...' Inaho thought as she looked at Syria.
"Iyan! What a scary face you're making!" Syria said with a smile as she makes a peace sign. "A woman must always have a smile on her face! Okay?"
'She can send whatever comes at her flying in the opposite direction.' Inaho thought as she began to use her Maken while charging at her. 'In that case...Hiken Hitotsuka"
"Oh, that Maken increases your physical power doesn't it?" Syria asked with a wink as she open her arms. "But that won't work!"
Inaho slides on the floor, knowing what's gonna happen.
'In order for Syria to reverse things, she has to open her arms.' Inaho thought. 'So, if she pushes me backwards then...'
With that, Inaho leaped over in order to get Syria.
'All I need to do is...UH!?' Inaho thought with shocked which Syria grabbed her arm with ease. 'I can't get my arm free!?'
"It seems that you don't know anything about me." Syria said with a smirk. "The Idol of American Pro Wrestling that has taken down even the best male superstars! I can sing, dance, and fight. I'm the Goddess of the Ring, Celia Ootsuka!"
With that, Syria slams Inaho down towards the ground, leaving her coughed in pain.
'She overpowered 'Hitotsuka' with her bare hands!?' Inaho mentally shouted while Syria grabbed her legs as she began to swing.
"Here I go! Celia Dynamite Swing!" Syria shouts as she spins Inaho around, making her dizzy.
"Celia...Uh!...Dynamite...You're just spinning me around...Hah!?" Inaho said while her head was hit towards the wall.
"That's not true! There's a cheer to it!" Syria proclaimed. "WE LOVE CELIA!"
When Syria released Inaho from her swing, Takeru was lucky that he caught her.
"Are you alright?" Takeru asked, carrying her in bridal style.
"Takeru!" Inaho cheered with joy. "Yes, I'm alright!"
"I'm glad." Takeru said with relief.
"NOT AGAIN!" Syria shouted with a sweat drop expression.
'Takeru, it's almost as if we're...' Inaho thought about the matrimony related things, but ceased on thinking as she gets back to logical thinking. "Oh yeah! Where's Azuki?"
"Right here." Azuki said as Inaho turned her head, seeing Azuki smirking at them.
"Azuki!" Inaho said with relief. However, she also notice that Yan was here next to her, but Takeru began to speak.
"Listen, I have a plan." Takeru whispered to Inaho, knowing that Inaho might get what he's planning.
"I got it!" Inaho said with confident smile as she wrapped her arms on his waist. "In that case, we just need to put our powers together!"
"Wha...Inaho!? Your breasts! I can..." Takeru said with a red blush as he felt Inaho's breasts pressed against his torso.
"Does he not think of anything else?" Yan questioned as she and Azuki had a dull looks on their faces.
"Hey! Where do you think you're grabbing, Inaho!?" Syria shouts with envy.
"Forget it Syria, he's just a pervert." Azuki told her which Yan nods with agreement.
"Now all we need to do is run straight into her!" Inaho shouts.
"Y-Yeah!" Takeru exclaimed as he blushed with perverted smile. 'Ahh...nothing beats this wonderful feeling...'
"If it's breasts that get you excited, then mine...mine are...Much Bigger!" Syria shouted as she summons her power when her arms were shot open with her breasts bouncing. Suddenly, Inaho was sent flying.
'If we wanna capture Syria, then I have a plan that might work.' Those words have echoed in Inaho's mind.
"Go for it, Takeru!" Inaho exclaimed, getting a nod from him. 'Just as you planned, she separated us!'
"Smart move." Azuki said with a smirk as Takeru began to activate his Maken.
"Syria, you idiot." Yan muttered.
'Yes...I have to keep moving!? I'll open up the path with...The Maken that Gen gave me!' Takeru thought as he activates his Maken while charging after her.
"Come at me, Takeru." Syria said with a wink as her arms open to embrace him, but she sensed that Takeru's aura.
'An intense fighting aura!?' Syria thought with a shock as she quickly activates her Jingu. "Inverse"
When Syria activates her Jingu, Takeru suddenly stopped and fell into his knees. 'Takeru, he was seriously going to attack.'
"Takeru!" Inaho shouted.
"What the hell happened!?" Azuki exclaimed with confusion while Yan smirked.
"I'll tell you!" Syria exclaimed as she leaped into the air and landed on Takeru; her 'vagina' landed on his face, making Azuki's jaw dropped at this lewd action. "It's not only movement that I can reverse. What I reversed was Takeru's determination!"
'Shit, that was one dangerous Jingu she used! I bet Zane have a hard time with her too!' Azuki thought with her teeth gritted.
Syria then moaned as she blushed from the feeling of the sensation of Takeru's face against her special place.
"And now you need to punished!" Syria said as she tightly gripped Takeru's wrists, preventing his hand glowing from making contact with her. Inaho growled with anger as she made her way to Syria. "It's useless for you to try and get any closer! I'm able to activate my 'Inverse' without any motions, anytime I want! You won't be able to get any closer no matter what you do."
That got Inaho stopped in her tracks.
"So just stay there and watch!" Syria said with cheerful expression as she blushed, enjoying the experience. "You enjoy yourself, Takeru."
Takeru continues to struggle which of course, he's enjoying it but tried to get his priority straight.
"If it were any other time, I'd be happy to stay here forever but...but...not this time!" Takeru shouts, making Syria surprise as Inaho activates her Maken.
"I'm going to make you get out of the way! Even if I have to do it by force!" Inaho shouts as she used her Maken. "Gouken Sanbai: Mitsuka"
Inaho punched to the ground, making a huge cracks with enough force, leaving Azuki shocked.
"Dammit Inaho!" Azuki yelled with a tick mark on her head.
"Ah! You're Overdoing It!?" Syria shouted, causing her to let go.
"I leave the rest to you, Takeru." Inaho said as she passed out while Takeru grabbed Syria's wrist.
"Finally, I've got you." Takeru said with his serious demeanor as he activates his Maken.
Flashback, Principals Office
At the principal's office, Gen put the Maken on Takeru's hand which he winced in pain.
"This is your own Maken." Gen told him as he finished his work by putting the Maken on Takeru's hand.
"OW, OW, OW! What the hell did you do!?" Takeru shouts with pain.
"Stop whining, you baby!" Gen shouts. "You refuse to fight girls, so it's a Maken that I created specially for you!"
"A Maken?" Takeru asked with confusion. "But why did it disappear into my body?"
Gen didn't give him the answer as he change the subject.
"Although, there's so many Maken, there were only two types." Gen explains. "External types and Internal types."
"Internal types require near perfect compatibility." Minori added. "If you aren't compatible then the Maken becomes useless, so it's very rare to come across an Internal type Maken user. Then again, you actually know someone who also uses an extremely rare Maken. An Internal type Maken is always active, which makes it convenient for the user but for you Takeru, your Maken won't activate unless your opponent's Maken is activated."
"That's just how it is!" Gen said with a smirk. "And just so you know, your Maken's name is 'Ultra Burning Gen Special Dynamic-'"
Minori used her hand to shut Gen's mouth, thinking of the Maken's name.
"I already heard what your Maken can do." Minori said, pondering. "Let me think. I know! The name of your Maken should be-"
Flashback Ended
"Overblow: Drive Dual" Takeru blasts out of his hand, shooting the beams of energy around him and Syria.
Flashback, Principals Office
Minori began explaining about Takeru's new Maken which of course the name which he took it to his liking.
"Go out of control?" Takeru asked.
"Yep, it causes your opponent's Maken to go out of control...so to speak." Minori explains. "It suddenly changes their Maken power ratio to go over it's limit, causing it to become completely useless. It's like when the engine of an F-1 race car suddenly blows, just from take off."
"I see." Takeru said, starting to understand.
However, Gen decided to blurted out of the name of the Maken.
"Hey! Stop right there!" Gen shouted, pointing the finger at Takeru. "That name you gave, it wasn't too terrible, but just listen to the coolness of the name I was gonna say! 'The Great Max Perfect Ge...MMMFF!?"
Minori have had enough as she pulled Gen's mouth, making him winced.
"You have no taste for names at all! And the one you just said is different from the last one!" Minori shouted with a glare. "I always end up having to rename them anyways!"
"Wha...What was that!?" Gen shouts with a glare.
"Thanks...This is really going to help!" Takeru thanked, getting their attention. "Everyone always had to cover for me every time I got into trouble, but with this, it doesn't matter who I face, I won't have to worry about being a burden anymore!"
However, Gen didn't agree of his words as he spoke.
"Your Maken won't work on everyone." Gen told him, getting Takeru's attention while Minori let go of his mouth as he began to explain. "Your Maken's power will always work against another Maken, but if your opponent is able to regain control of their Maken, then you're in trouble. Say this bowl is your opponent's ability, your Maken suddenly forces a huge quantity of power into your opponent's Maken causing it to go over it's maximum capacity break. But if it can withhold the overflow, you just made their Maken reach it's power capacity. So you see, your power is a double-edged sword. Even worse, if your opponent has perfect control over their Maken, you run the risk of causing it to evolve into something much more powerful. As long as you aren't careless then you'll be fine, but be careful!"
Flashback Ended
When Takeru used his Maken against Syria, the energy had vanished for few moments.
"Wha-What was that?" Syria questioned.
'It didn't work.' Takeru thought with surprised look.
'Damn, and here I thought it would work.' Azuki thought with disappointment. Suddenly, Syria's body began to tremble.
"Takeru...what did you...Huh!?" Syria's body was trembling until her whole body was coated with shining green energy as she screamed when the energy was shooting from her body until the energy disappeared, Syria was panting from the experience.
"What the hell happened!?" Azuki questioned, surprised that Takeru's Maken actually worked. However, Takeru jumped away from under Syria after discovering what had happened from the feeling he just felt under his face a moment ago.
'Just now...that feeling...' Takeru thought, realizing what Syria really was.
"What did you...ugh...do...Takeru?" Syria asked, panting from feeling tired.
'I'm sure of it...' Takeru thought as he started taking few steps forward. "P-Please, get out of my way."
"I already told you I won't." Syria refused as she spread her apart, but her body was shaking. "Inverse"
When she tried to activate her Jingu, it didn't work which she failed to noticed her appearance have changed and her powers didn't work anymore.
'My 'Inverse' won't activate!? And my body it...' Syria thought with a shock as she looked at herself. Both Inaho and Azuki were wondering what was going on.
"In that case...I Won't Hold Back!" Takeru exclaimed as he then slapped Syria across the face.
That got Syria shocked with eyes widen at what Takeru had just did.
"What The!?" Azuki exclaimed as she and Inaho was shocked after what Takeru did to Syria.
"H-Hey! After all those times, you said would never hit a girl, even slapping counts as a hit!" Azuki shouted.
"Oh? So he figured it out?" Yan said with a sigh, leaving Azuki confused.
"Syria...Syria is...she's a...a...a g...a g..." Takeru stuttered as Syria held her stinging cheek and began to cry. "A GUY! SHE'S ACTUALLY A GUY!"
"NOOOOOO!" Syria cried with despair when Takeru pointed his finger accusingly.
"WHAAAAATTTT!?" Inaho yelled with utter shock along with Azuki, also shocked utterly.
"What did you say? But I...I've seen them...I've seen Syria's breasts..." Azuki exclaimed with utter shock. "Don't tell me...He's a transvest-OW!"
Yan sent a sideway chop against the side of Azuki's head.
"And so what? Compared to you, Syria is more of a woman than you'll hope to be." Yan said with a glare.
"Uhhh...You're right." Azuki said with depressed state, that really got Takeru and Inaho confused.
"Syria's 'Inverse' is always activated so she can change her gender." Yan explains. "While it's active, she does turn into a real woman...but the downside is that as a woman, her strength becomes half of what it really is."
"That's the reason?" Inaho said with a shock.
'So because of my Maken causing her 'Inverse' to go out of control, her gender changed back.' Takeru thought as he looked at his hand.
"It's okay Yan...I'm just an okama who's their enemy...it's just...I wasn't trying to trick you by my gender and I'm not trying to trick Zane either, but he already knew what I was...I gave myself breasts and changed myself...down here...because I wanted to." Syria said with sadness. "'If you make your powers strong enough...then maybe one day you might be able to change yourself into a real woman' is what he said."
'Well, I guess Zane already knows, but I'll just let it slide since he never told me about it.' Azuki thought.
"But...in the end I'm still a guy...who was slapped...for getting in Takeru's way...you must really hate me...right?" Syria asked as she continues to cry.
"I don't hate you." Takeru answered as he extending his hand to Syria, making him look at him. "I'm sorry for...slapping you earlier. But I never thought of you as my enemy, not even once. Whether you're a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter to me because I think of you as a friend."
Syria was shocked to hear him say that to him, but then he smiled as wiped away his tear.
"You still call me a friend after what I did to you...you're so strange Takeru, but thanks to that, I don't feel like fighting anymore." Syria said with a smile and blushed as he wiped his tear away. "It's my loss."
Syria took Takeru's hand as he spoke. "As for the slap earlier. I forgive you, my darling knight."
With that, Syria kissed Takeru in the cheek, leaving him shocked.
The winner is...Takeru Ooyama and Inaho Kushiya.
"Wha!?" Takeru exclaimed.
"What the!?" Azuki exclaimed.
"Nooo!" Inaho cried.
"Ehe~" Syria giggled with a blush.
"His face is completely red. It seems the knight prefers a prince over a princess." Yan teased.
"Wow! You did a good job hiding it with that whole 'I like women' thing!" Azuki said with a blush.
"You never mentioned any of this before Takeru." Inaho whined as she cried.
"Stop Making Fun Of Me!" Takeru shouted with an embarrassed look on his face.
'Oh, I'm so gonna tell Zane, he would love to hear about this.' Azuki thought with a mischievous grin as she cleared her throat.
"Well, I guess you could say we won this fight." Azuki said with a smirk.
"Yeah." Inaho agreed as they raise their hands, getting his attention.
"You were very cool, Takeru." Inaho said with a smile.
"I have a little more respect for you now. But only a little." Azuki said with her usual smirk.
"Okay!" Takeru said with a grin. "Well then, let's get going to where Himegami is!"
With that, Takeru gave both Inaho and Azuki a high five as they began to head towards the third-floor.
"Wait!" Syria called out, getting their attention.
"What? You still wanna try and stop us?" Azuki asked with a grinning smirk before Syria grabbed Takeru's sleeve.
"You mustn't go right now! It's dangerous!" Syria warned with concern.
"What do you mean dangerous?" Takeru asked with a blush. 'I know he's a guy but he doesn't look like one.'
Suddenly they all felt an enormous amount of elemental power that was coming from the third-floor.
"This fierce element, it's just like the time when Haruko activated 'Murakumo.'" Inaho stated with fright.
"But It's Not From Haru or Zane!" Takeru exclaimed.
"It belongs to Demitra." Yan told them with a smirk. "The Vice-Captain of Venus, her fighting abilities are beyond ours except Zane."
"Dammit! My Brother Is Still Up There!" Azuki shouted as she turned and leave.
"Azuki, are still going up there?" Takeru asked.
"Yeah I do..." Azuki answered seriously as she clenched her fist. "If Zane was killed, then I won't forgive Kamigari or Venus for taken my brother away from me. So, you guys can stay if you want to, but I'm going up there whether you like it or not."
With that, Azuki rushed towards the stairs alone to catch up with her younger brother.
That's it for the 15th chapter. Sorry about the delay because I've been working on the other story and help my aunt cleaning up the inside of the RV, it's a pain in the ass to work but work is work. Anyway when I read that Maken-Ki manga, I laugh my butt off when I see the look on Takeru's face when he realized what Syria look like...PRICELESS!
