See, that wasn't so hard, right? As soon as the 5th review went *click*, I hit *submit*.
First off to my first 100 readers of the last chapter, go back and re-read it. I accidentally uploaded a draft and the whole Ben VS Vilgax scene was skipped, don't want ya guys thinking I just Christmas-Treed it. How embarrassing! Hope I didn't lose any readers for that mistake. Also, sorry for some people who wanted Diamondhead to finish Vilgax, but as I said before, he only appeared in the canon cause Chromastone was destroyed and the watch did it to save Ben's life. This isn't just Ben's story ya know, had to tweak it accordingly.
1) Shout for Mitchell: Teleporter? Um... I'll consider it, but don't expect it. That just seems too easy and WAAAAAAAAY too convenient for me. It's a nice thought though.
2) Shout for The Brod Road: Honestly, I forgot about Looma and Attea, but their Omniverse characters mostly. We'll ride that starship when (and if) we get to it, since this is only AF/R+V currently. Animo did have a cameo in POV moments, but he might appear later on. Don't worry, the Forever Knights WILL appear again.
Early that morning, a bus pulls up to the well-known sign and drives back into the tunnel, leaving 2 people behind. A boy and a girl, new students maybe?
Person #1: Well, here we are.
Person #2: THIS is Yokai Academy?
Person #1: Yeah, what did you expect?
Person #2: (monotone) Dead human remains... sappy music... mass chaos. Ya know, something. Why would he wanna come back to a place like this?
Person #1: (shrugs) He loves it here... and them. Now lets go, before Ben gets into anymore trouble.
Person #2: Before... or inevitably AFTER?
Person #1: (pulls Person #2 by the arm forcefully) Come on!
-TIME BREAK-
Ben hasn't woken up the rest of that day but when he did this following afternoon, he was surprised to see his grandfather in the nurses office with the rest of the Newspaper Club. Grandpa Max joked that he thought vampires don't sleep according to that movie Gwen begged him to see when she was 13, in which Ben was forced to reveal the details about his newest and most difficult transformation. As he was explaining, he got nervous remembering he passed out and thought the worst (as in Vilgax won), but Grandpa Max assured him everything was fine and he promised no one outside the monster realm would know his secret identity due to his battle being broadcast. Another surprise was that no other student or teacher knew about it.
Well, one less thing to worry about.
The retired Plumber had to get back home, so he said his goodbyes (with the girls respectfully calling him Max, but he assured them to please call him Grandpa, cause it makes him feel younger... and since one of them will be family soon, he couldn't resist saying. Embarrassing Ben and unknowingly starting the daily argument). Knowing Ben has dealt with a sentient being inside his watch before, he knew Ben could handle him... eventually. We zoom in on the front doors of Yokai Academy, just another school day in the life of...
Ben: (bursts out the doors and runs for his life) UWAAAAAAAAAAAH!
BOOM!
Yup... another normal day. The doors of the school (and some concrete, clay, bricks, etc.) blasted off and a dust cloud came out, with a pair of red eyes within. Ben feel on his face due to the shockwave. "Ow. Uh... I don't suppose I can call those Hooligans and uh... ask who your trainer is?" Asked Ben to the... "ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!" A long snout with ALLOT of teeth snapped at Ben, who jumped away. "Forget the dogs, who let out the dragon?!"
Kou: Actually... it's a Wyvern. Its not as impressive as its legendary counterparts, although it DOES have a poison-barbed tail. It's also not as smart, strong or as big as them either...
Wyvern: *growls* (tries to clamp over Kou several times, making snapping sounds like Maleficent's dragon-form from the 1959 Sleeping Beauty film)
Kou: (dodges each snap during each "woah" and ending "weeeeeee") WOAH, WOAH, WOAH! No offense, lizard-lips! WEEEEEEE!
Snarling at Ben, the Wyvern didn't look happy for whatever reason. "This isn't because the Adams never let you out of that staircase, is it?" Asked Ben, his response from the beast was his tail almost smashing him! "Hey... I'm warning you! I've tamed allot of Dovah with my Thu'um!" Ben joked, though he was still shitting himself. He's only fought a dragon once, but it was an alien just trying to return home... THIS was a monster and there was no universal translator on its chest! The dragon answered by belching flames at him. Good thing Ben got back when the Wyvern took a breath, or he would've gotten fried into a BenBurger... the limited time rib flavor too! Pulling back his sleeve, he did 'it'. "Ok, you need to cool down, with Big Chill!"
FLASH!
...
...
...
"Arctiguana?... Eh, close enough."
Ben's newest form was a large blue iguana (he lacks a tail however), having 3 spikes on the back of his head and some gills. The outfit the Omnitrix gave him was gray pants and a black open-front shirt, the symbol itself being on his left arm. Like Big Chill, he gave off an icy-cold breath. The Wyvern took flight and tried to wack Arcitgunana with its tail, but it got frozen and forced the dragon to land, as its tail acts as a balance agent. "In your language, that's called: IIZ, SLEN, NUUUUUUUUS!" Said the polar iguana, blowing more ice at the monster yet again. The Wyvern tried to counter with more fire... it wished it was more like its larger cousins, since Arctigunana's 'voice' was stronger than his own. He ended up a statue, in a well-known pose like a certain card from a certain game. "Hey, I just Special Summoned a White Dragon!" Joked the frozen lizard, changing back into human.
(AN: Quick question, and please do respond, be it review or PM. Originally it was planned Ben would mis-transform into Heatblast and fight the dragon, then the girls would help because it would be a stalemate between fire-breathing and fire-blasting. I discarded it, but does that sound better, cause I am gonna plan to use an actual dragon later on. You tell me what you think, and of course, play my theme song.)
Chapter 11: XLR8-ting "Love" Letters + Vampire
"THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR WEEKS, AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?!" Yelled Ben. He found his main harem in Moka's dorm (when he got to his dorm, he was surprised they weren't waiting for him. After 45 minutes of studying and no daily interruptions, he was getting worried and decided to look for them), there were some letters addressed to her... a LOT of them. "Well... we didn't want to worry you, Ben" Moka said, innocently. "Besides, you were on the other side of the world when this started" said Kurumu. "You would've had to wait a month to get here away" said Mizore as-a-matter-of-factly. "Then I would've waited... hell, I'd Jetray over here if I had too! Come on guys, you'd know I'd battle the devil himself if anything happened to you, ANY of you!" Said Ben. "I seem to remember a previous situation like that..." said Nosfer-Ben. 'Who asked you?' Said Ben to the other one.
Ben picked up 1 of the 1000 letters and read it. "Dearest Moka *mumbles*, wipe you off the face of the earth *mumbles*... love Kokoa? Your sister?!" He asked, not expecting this. Sure the redhead was impulsive and VERY destructive, but Ben didn't think she would be crazy enough to hurt Moka, her own flesh and blood. "Now that I think about it, why do you guys have different last names? Did your daaaaa...?" Ben asked, but cut the question off before he finished. That might be a touchy subject for his dear vampire friend. "Good question, your last name is Akashiya and hers is Shuzen, why is that?" Asked Yukari, apparently not picking up on the hint. "Different baby-daddies, huh?" Said Mizore, monotone as always. Seeing Moka turn her eyes away, Ben spoke up. "Hey, let's not bug her about it, if she doesn't wanna tell us..." he went. "No, its not that, its just... *sigh* alright" said Moka, as she began to tell her story:
(AN: Play the anime version of her flashback when she tells it. Of course substitute my wording instead, except when their younger versions speak.)
Moka: There's 4 of us, me and my 3 stepsisters...
Nosfer-Ben: (grumbles) Total Cinderella story...
Ben: (to Nosfer-Ben) Shut up!
Moka: I'm the 3rd oldest with Kokoa being the youngest. We had different mothers, but all lived in the same home.
Nosfer-Ben: And queue the evil stepmother...
Ben: (to Nosfer-Ben) Quiet!
Moka: We had our up and downs like any family... but for me and Kokoa, it was always that way. She always wanted to fight, to test her strength against mine. Back then, I didn't have this rosary to control my power. Poor Kokoa never won... not even once, she never got close. Even when I started middle school in the human world, she still never gave up. She followed me, challenging me whenever and wherever she could...
Nosfer-Ben: Sounds super clingy to me...
Ben: (to Nosfer-Ben) Do you mind?!
Nosfer-Ben: ... sorry.
Moka: My true power was kept inside the rosary, and I wasn't strong enough to fight her, so I kept running away. I ended up coming here to Yokai Academy, and I finally thought I've outran her.
"But you ended up 'running' into me?" Ben joked a little, making Moka giggle. She seemed upset telling the tale, so it warmed his heart that he made her laugh. "Yeah, and she hates me because of it" said Moka, looking upset again. "Hey, it wasn't all your fault! She should have learned her place and grew up, no offense" said Ben. "At least SOMEONE agrees..." said the Rosario, but it didn't glow. Outer Moka didn't hear her either. "Want me to just freeze her and be done with it?" Asked Mizore, making Moka gasp. "That's a good idea..." said Nosfer-Ben. "Uh. No, its NOT! True she's as messed up as someone ELSE in this room..." said Ben, pointing too... "HEY!" Said Nosfer-you-know-who. "But she's still Moka's sister, and its her choice what we do about her. We have your back Moka" Ben continued, speaking his mind. "Yeah, he's right..." said Kurumu. "Aw, Ben... Kurumu..." Moka was saying, blushing because Ben's kindness. Kurumu's too...
...
...
...
...
SMOOSH!
It was short-lived.
"Course if you die, then I'll have Ben ALL to myself, where he belongs! If my amazing Ben dies again, I just couldn't go on living!" Said the Succubus, squishing the poor human as usual. This started the delayed argument over the American, with Moka just watching with a vein on her head.
-TIME BREAK-
Dear, Kokoa
I can't keep this up, you win. Things are getting out of control, I'll fight you and settle this once and for all. Meet me outside campus in the graveyard after school, so we'll both be a full strength.
Love, your opponent.
"Wow, she sent you a letter this time, WEEEE!" Said Kou. He and Kokoa were walking to a meeting place described in the letter they received. "I never thought I'd see the day, me and my dearest sister, duking it out like old times. Guess she realized she can never outrun me, todays the day I finally bea..." said Kokoa, then she noticed a form in the distance with long pink hair. Excited, she ran to it. "Onee-chan, I finally..." said the young vampire, but when she turned the pink-haired form around by its shoulder...
...
...
...
...
Ben: (grins) Looking for someone?
"GAH! What the hell, you cross-dresser! Where's my sister?!" Asked Kokoa, not to happy to find him here or the fact that it wasn't her sister. Ben pulled the wig off and discarded it aside. "The letter didn't say WHO you'd be fighting" he said. "Don't you know its improper to attack a lady? I'm not fighting you, I hear enough about you every freaking day! Now where's Moka?!" Said Kokoa, getting impatient and irritated.
-TIME BREAK-
I know your wondering where the others are.
The monsters' in question were bound in Moka's dorm by bandages (Yukari, from Snare-Oh), crystals (Mizore, from Diamondhead), webs (Kurumu, from Spidermonkey) and vines (Moka, from Wildvine). "I love him... but I'm gonna kill him" growled Kurumu. "Seconded, for once" said Yukari. "Thirded" said Mizore. "He's only trying to do what's best for us, guys" said Moka, even though she was a little upset that Ben would resort to such lengths. "By leaving us behind AND tying us up? Hey, how did you get out?!" Asked Kurumu, noticing Moka got out somehow. "He loosened mine before he flew out the window" said Moka. "WHY?!" Asked the others, not getting why Ben was playing favorites.
"Because he knows what you dipsticks would do without a leash" said Inner Moka dryly, making Outer Moka giggle. The other 3 noticed the item glow seconds before she laughed. "What did she say?" Asked Mizore. Moka stopped her giggle and responded with: "Um, nothing."
-TIME BREAK-
"What kind of lady threatens her own sister? Look, I get it. You didn't want her to leave, but stop being a brat about it and move on! Take her advice, and learn your place" said Ben. "Be quiet... you have NO idea what the REAL Moka means to me! Now tell me where she is, so I can kill her and finally win!" Said Kokoa, getting agitated. As much as she disliked Ben for taking her sister away, she wanted to beat her more. She was considering killing him first then finding Moka... even if his blood was the sweetest thing she ever tasted.
'Real Moka... what does she mean by that?' Ben asked himself, not understanding. He did know that both Mokas' were different personas'... and differently shaped as his inner vampire pointed out, but the REAL Moka? That made no sense to him... they're both Moka... right? Storing those thoughts in the back of his mind for now, he raised his arm and pulled his sleeve back. "Can't believe you still haven't figured her out" thought Nosfer-Ben, accidentally letting Ben hear. 'Um... figure who out?' Ben asked. "That Things' 1 and 2 are separaaaaaaaaa... OH! Look at the time, gotta go nap!" Excused the vampire Ben, cutting himself off. That confused Ben, his inner vampire said whatever was on his mind... did he know something he didn't?
He'll worry about that later.
"Kokoa, I don't wanna hurt you but if you keep this up, you'll leave me no choice" said Ben, getting his game face on. Family member or not, his friend's life was in danger, and he will do anything in his power to protect her. "HA! YOU, hurt me?! Don't make me laugh, I'm S-Class, what are you? Some weirdo American who smells like a human" taunted Kokoa. "I'm more complicated. But I don't care if your her sister, or her father. If you wanna hurt Moka... you'll have to go through me" said Ben, sternly with his hand over his watch. Kokoa grabbed Kou on her shoulder, squeezed him and made him transform into a morning star. "FINE, THEN DIIIIIIIIIE!"
BANG!
...
...
...
"You need to, XLR8, faster than that."
Hearing that, Kokoa lifted the weapon, only to find there was no Ben-berry pancake beneath. Looking behind her, she saw a raptor on wheels, waving at her. She had no idea who or what it was, but the symbol on its chest gave her a pretty good clue. Giving a battle cry, she tried again with the same result. 3 bangs later, "I've fought faster... and shiner, morning stars back home" XLR8 joked. "Stop fooling around like a baby and fight!" Screamed Kokoa, missing her target again. After getting 10 feet away, XLR8's visor went down. "You throw destructive tantrums, and I'M the baby?" He said, but had to move (and reequip his visor) cause she was rushing to him again.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"What happened to all that talk earlier? WHY WON'T YOU FIGHT?!" Screamed the orange vampire. "Cause I'm willing to resolve this peacefully, you don't have to kill your own sister!" Said XLR8. "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAAAAAAAAAAND!" She screamed again, crushing the poor earth some more. There was also something streaming down her cheeks. "SHE LEFT ME! SHE LEFT ME ALL ALONE IN THAT HOUSE! I WOULD SNEAK OUT TO SEE HER AND WHAT DOES SHE DO? SHE FREAKING RUNS AWAY, EVERY DAMN TIME! THEN YOU STEAL HER AWAY AND DRAG HER TO AMERICA, A GUY LIKE YOU WOULD NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEEEEEEEEEL!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Was it just him, or was Kokoa getting faster the more angrier she got? He did understand and wanted to help her, but the form he chose didn't exactly have the muscle to stop her. Maybe he should have picked Fourarms or Humungousaur but then again, they didn't have the speed of a vampire in they're arsenal. There was only one thing he could do... 'You awake?'
BANG!
...
...
BANG!
...
...
BANG!
...
...
...
...
Kokoa's attack was halted by XLR8's hand, with the aliens emblem glowing dark green. "How can I sleep with all that bitching?" Answered a cocky voice. Silently thanking his monster counterpart, XLR8's visor went down and looked at the redhead straight in the eye. "You felt betrayed... didn't you?" He asked, more of a statement however. Kokoa's eyes widened and just stared at him, he understood? The streams went a little faster this time. Putting his other hand on the handle and gently getting it out of Kokoa's grip, he set the giant morning star aside. "You were lonely the whole time, right? Your best friend left you behind and you felt stabbed in the back. All those hate letters, the places you followed her, the times you tried to battle her... what you felt was love. All you wanted was to see your sister again" the roller-skating raptor continued.
"Is that true, Kokoa?" Asked a sweet voice. Looking behind them, XLR8 and Kokoa saw Moka and the other girls. XLR8 backed up as Moka approached, giving the sisters a moment to themselves. "It makes sense now" said Yukari. "A twisted expression of love" said Mizore. "That's why my Destined One didn't want us getting in the way, he's so smart" said Kurumu, praising Ben and forgiving him for earlier. "Kokoa, I'm so sorry. I had no idea, please forgive me. I promise... I'll never leave you behind again" said Moka, pulling her half-sister into a tender hug. "Ugh... your all a bunch'a saps" said Nosfer-Ben. 'Go back to sleep' rebutted XLR8.
...
...
...
"That's not all... THAT'S NOT ALL OF IT!" Kokoa said, pushing Moka off of her. "Truth is, I hate your guts for what you did to me! And I won't stop until I defeat you and wipe you off the face of the EAARRRRRRRRRRTH!" Screamed the still teary-eyed vampire, picking up the morning star and ran at Moka while she was defenseless! "MOKAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Yelled XLR8, running as fast as he could. He got to Moka, but...
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Kurumu: Ben... Moka...
Mizore: They've been...
Yukari: Squashed flatter than my flat chest!
A moment of silence for our fallen heroes...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Damn, and she's your own sister too."
"Don't remind me."
Everyone else gasped, no expecting to hear muffled voices from beneath the medieval ball.
"Sister or not, you don't pull any punches, do ya?"
"Exactly. When someone flashes their fangs at me or my lunch..."
The ball was lifted by...
...
...
...
Inner Moka: I pull them out.
A quick flashback of what happened plays. Right as XLR8 grabbed Moka and tried to get her away, he pulled off her Rosario, but it was hard to tell if it was accidental or intentional... maybe a bit of both. When the rosary seal over her breast is removed, Moka's innocent self vanishes, and her inner vampire... awakens. "You've definitely gotten stronger, Kokoa. But you still need to learn your PLACE!" Pushing away Kou's morning star form away like it was as light as a feather, Inner Moka kicked the opposing vampire in the chest. Kokoa sailed through the air and crashed into some gravestones.
"Perfect 10 as always, here's your..." said XLR8, he was giving Inner Moka the Rosario but she stopped him. "Not yet, Ben. She's a vampire, a simple kick won't slow her down" she said. "Yeah, but YOUR kick? Don't start selling yourself shor..." XLR8 didn't get to finish cause the pile of gravestones were blown away by Kokoa, snarling like a rabid dog and aura flaring as bright as New York City at night. "Well, well... you can actually get back on your feet" said Inner Moka, her response from her current opponent was loud growling.
Both XLR8 and Nosfer-Ben: "Oh shit."
"No way, she took Moka's kick right in the chest!" Said Yukari. Although she's seen Highbreed and Ruby take plenty of Inner Moka's kicks, they had excuses. Highbreeds were aliens, so there was plenty they didn't know about them. Ruby was fueled by a false goal, so she had a reason to keep taking a beating. "Don't tell me, do we have front row seats to a vampire fight to the death?" Asked Kurumu. "Ben, Moka, you better stop this before the whole academy blows up" said Mizore, worried. "Atta girl. Come get me, Kokoa. Show me what you've got" said Inner Moka, expecting her enraged sister to continue fighting. Again, the answer she got was more snarling...
...
...
...
"Big sister!"
Everyone went as white as a coloring book. "BIG SISTERRRRRRRRRR!" Kokoa dropped her angry face and started crying again, tears of joy this time. She also hugged Inner Moka tightly, smooshing her face into her big sisters breasts. "I take it back, being a sap's looking pretty good" said Nosfer-Ben, imagining it was his face instead of Kokoa's. "Uh, Kokoa... didn't you say you wanted to wipe me off the face of the earth?" Asked Inner Moka, with a slight red tint on her cheeks. "No... not you, big sister. That lame-ass Moka Akashiya, she's nothing like the real deal! Please don't ever leave me again!" Said Kokoa, looking up at her sister for a moment, then cried back into said sisters chest. "Ok... NOW, I get it" said XLR8, arms folded. He wasn't too far off with his earlier theory, but he wasn't close enough either. "So, the sister she wanted was..." said Kurumu. "Was the sister she knew while they grew up together" said Yukari. "And the one she hated, was the one we know and love" said Mizore.
Inner Moka had enough though. She honestly thought her sister was going to give her a run for her money, but all she really wanted was to snuggle up to her. She loved her sister sure, but didn't like this close of contact... and she didn't know why, but she felt embarrassed because Ben was watching. "Ok, back off" said Inner Moka, and kicked her sister in the forehead. "Wow... being kicked by onee-tama... it's more spectacular than I remember!" Kokoa said, eyes sparkling.
"Sorry Kokoa, I told you before, the person you want isn't here anymore" said Inner Moka. "Big sister, what are you talking about?" Asked Kokoa, not understanding as her 'real sister' was right there. "She's gone forever, it's time you got used to it" said Inner Moka, unknowingly making Kokoa flinch. That weird professor was right, but she refused to accept it. It must be that Americans fault, when she gets her hands on him... "Ben, the rosary please" said Inner Moka, holding her hand out to XLR8.
...
...
...
He didn't give it to her.
"No" said the Kineceleran, stunning everyone including Kokoa, he wasn't giving it back? "How low can you go, Moka? Your sister only wanted to see you, and you just blow her off? What kind of example are you setting for her?" He asked. "I'm not the same person I was back then, she needs to understand that, don't you?" Asked the vampire. "Yes... but that doesn't mean you can't be out for a day. You were out for half a day already, whats wrong with another?" Asked XLR8. "The other Moka told you Kokoa had that one last chance to beat me, that part of me is long gone" answered Inner Moka. "That's funny, I see her right in front of me. I get you want your sister to learn her place and I agree, but toughing something out isn't always the answer. Just give her one day with you" said XLR8.
Kokoa was stunned, he DID understand!
"You told her it was our choice, right? Me and the other Moka? Be the respectful human you are, and give it to me" said Inner Moka, somewhat hurt that he was taking her sisters side over hers. Kokoa's eyes widened bigger than a widescreen TV, he was human? How? But all those cool things he could do... then again, that did explain why he smelled so excellent. XLR8 changed back to Ben, but still didn't move to Inner Moka to give her item back. "One day Moka, is it really gonna damage your reputation THAT bad?" Asked Ben, really wishing Moka would drop her proud act and give in for her sister. (AN: Yes, I like making her and Ben fight. This is part of the master plan for mature content though, so bear with me. Think about it, no relationship is perfect and heart stings get snapped but when they're retied, they become stronger just like real-life relationships.)
Now, lets queue the reaching for the Rosario like back in Chapter 8; accidental bust-rubbing, holding jewelry piece away, back and forth 'give it' and 'one day'... ya know, the works. While trying to reach the Rosario, Inner Moka grabbed Ben's arm for leverage, but what she got hold of was...
FLASH!
...
...
...
The American human and Japanese vampire only had a second to look at each other, with 'uh oh' written on their foreheads. "So you DO wanna get closer, eh?" Said the released 'alien', jokingly. As soon as Inner Moka heard that tone, she knew it wasn't the boy she was speaking to a second ago and backed off. "I don't have time for you, give me the rosary" she snapped. "Hey, your the one who woke me up. I was having such a wonderful dream... about us embracing under the moonlight" joked Nosfer-Ben, swooning. "Then keep dreaming, that'll never happen, even if you were the last monster on earth" said Inner Moka.
Nosfer-Ben: (to the audience, with a sly grin) Watch this guys. Monster energy... (Inner Moka panty-shot) monster ener-GY! (Another panty-shot) Mon... ster... energy. (Final panty-shot)
Inner Moka: (kicks a camera, spidering the lenses) Cut it out!
Nosfer-Ben: Don't blame me, blame the camera crew. (pulls out a random packet out of nowhere and flips through a few pages before reading one) The script says: monster energy - zoom in on "the prize."
"Let Ben out, asshole!" Said Kurumu, taking her true form. "Give Ben back his incredibly, handsome body that me and Moka will snuggle against!" Said Yukari, arming her wand. "She means give back his muscular physique, so I can make babies with him" said Mizore, her ice claws ready. Yes, this side of Ben freaked them out, but enough was enough! "Hey, I can do all those things... and more" the accused said with a sly smirk, then he was gone. "Like giving you the time of your life..." he continued, squeezing Kurumu's... smother brothers. "Making you feel warm inside..." he went on, saying this near Mizore's ear and nibbling its lobe. "And give you EXACTLY what you want..." he finished, slapping Yukari's butt before rushing back to his original position.
The 'attacked' girls hugged themselves, something about this Ben touching them made them feel uncomfortable... and very dirty. As soon as Nosfer-Ben approached his starting line, his legs froze up and he took a trip. "AH! Ben, go to sleep, I'm doing you and your girlfriends' a courtesy" he said out loud, getting up. That's when Inner Moka took this opportunity to give him a nice vacation into the tree truck hotel by his stomach. "That's another weakness you have... at least my other side agrees with me" smirked Inner Moka, walking to Nosfer-Ben thinking he was down.
He wasn't.
POW!
Inner Moka flew into the gravestone suites across the street. "And like them, your just as weak" said Nosfer-Ben, he punched Inner Moka with a fist containing the Rosario. Kokoa was scared, but this douchebag won't get away with hurting her real sister this time! Getting up; she ran to where Kou was still a weapon, picked him up, and charged to the American. "Take this, you Gaijin-Dork!"
SLAM!
...
...
...
...
It didn't work.
Nosfer-Ben held a fist up and made the weapon above his head vibrate, before it changed back into a bat. Poor Kou fell to the dirt. "Kou-Buddy! Are you ok?" Asked Kokoa. "Drunk as a skunk... weeeeeeeeee..." he fainted. Looked up with hate at the American, it immediately changed to fear because of the look on his face as he turned his head. She didn't have a chance to blink when he pinned her to half a tree that was 5 yards away... with one hand! Nosfer-Ben looked her up and down, either checking her out or sizing her up. "Hmmmm... what kind of woman are ya? You do have a nice rack, but where's your curves? And whats with the pigtails, Angelica? Shouldn't you be watching your cousin Tommy?" He insulted her, though she had no idea what to say about it. Who's Angelica, who's Tommy? "Get your paws of my sister!" Inner Moka called out, running to Nosfer-Ben. However, he held out the Rosario behind him and since she had no idea what he would do with it, she stopped. "Back off... I'm doing you a favor" he said, then he brought the Rosario to Kokoa's face.
"This is what want, right Coca? You wanna destroy the bimbo that stole your sister; that once THIS is gone, she returns to you... right? Did you ever stop to think about how the REAL Moka would feel?" Nosfer-Ben asked. Kokoa's eyes widened in realization, though she didn't care much for that Moka, she did love her true sister. "Your just a little, selfish brat... thinking you can just mosey over and expect to pick up where your childhood left off. Besides, this has been around her neck for too long. If you destroy it... that's part of your sister... you'll NEVER, get back" the American vampire continued, he then released his grip. "Your lucky Ben's bugging me not to hurt you, or I'd squish you like a panini. Next time, think about others feelings... besides yourself" he finished, turning away. He tossed the item to its right owner, shocking everyone. "Your welcome" he answered, about to press his breastbone when...
"Wait" said Inner Moka. "Why?" She asked. "Why what?" Asked Nosfer-Ben. "Why did you help me? You push me away, then you talk my sister down for me" said Inner Moka, trying to understand whats going on in the crazy vampires mind. "She needed to be taught her place... just not your way. She's as hardheaded as my dick" he answered, earning ewws' from everyone else. Inner Moka just scoffed at it, used to this vampires way with words. "Is that it? Or are we not the only ones he's changed?" Asked Inner Moka, taking a page from Azmuth's book. "The hell you saying, Marceline?" Asked Nosfer-Ben.
"Kurumu used to be a slut, Mizore was ashamed to show up to class, Yukari was bullied everday, Gin tries to behave, Ruby's come to terms with her past, the other Moka is somewhat braver... and now your less of a prick. Ben's helped us all, and its starting to rub off on you too, isn't it?" Said Inner Moka, slyly (AN: She didn't mention herself for pride reasons of course). Nosfer-Ben's face was priceless, she wished she had a camera or an Upgrade-colored one, this moment was the best! Recovering from his shock, Nosfer-Ben spoke up. "Heh, the only thing that's changed is my opinions of you twits. Your not the defenseless little monsters I took you for, but your still wimpy as that kid who wrote that dairy" said Nosfer-Ben. "In other words, your changing too" you-know-who purred. Once again, the $0 face of Nosfer-Ben was seen, but he composed himself. "Keep thinking that, Akashiya. Whatever makes ya happy" he then slapped his emblem.
Ben, now back to normal, had a slight cough attack. "Ow, not so hard. And judging by my sudden stomachache, I'm assuming you got'em?" He said, holding his gut. Inner Moka nodded, but instantly felt bad. Even though she wanted to get rid of the other Ben, she still ending up hurting her frie... ahem, her lunch. "Listen Kokoa, that wasn't really me... its hard to explain. I'm sorry for anything he may have said. Need a hand?" Ben asked, going over to Kokoa and offering help. Understandably she hesitated, but the softness in his eyes assured her he meant her no harm. She slowly reached his hand and grabbed it, it was warm and inviting unlike the cold grip the other Ben gave her seconds before. As Ben helped her up, he pulled down his collar. "You and Moka must be thirsty after all that, take as much as you need" he said with a smile.
As you can imagine, 3 certain individual attempted to stop him, but he told them it was fine. Like it or not, this vampire was a part of him and if anything goes down, Ben needs to step up and take responsibility... even at his expense. Kokoa took her drink and felt her strength return, then released the human from her teeth, as much as she wanted to keep going. She didn't know why, but he seemed to have a high tolerance for the neck-biting, which is more than she could say for others. She also had this odd feeling in her chest, but for what reason... and why? Though his legs felt like heavy sacks of sand, Ben went over to Inner Moka. He offered her a drink, but to everyones surprise, "What I need is a nap... I appreciate it though" and was about to put the Rosario back on without another word.
Kou: 9 minutes, 23 seconds... weeeeeeeee. (regains full consciousness and sees someone offscreen) Hey, that's...
"Mokaaaaaaa..." said the familiar and not-so-happy voice of... "What... did you do... to MY COUSIN?!"
Chulu-Chulu-Chulu, Pa-Ya-Pa!
Omni-Lady, Omni-Lady...
It's Her-o time, It's Her-o Time...
(Instrumental)
Sweetie! Darling, let's go dance together! Burst forth, with your, beauty lady!
I just want to paint, a little sweet dream, ooooof... changing myself completely!
My glam-or-ous lips, dance shoes, and my glossy nails...
a face without makeup, is reflected, in the mirror, such surreal days.
Your the only one I'll show, these little things to, from the bottom of my heart... and what lies deep, in, my, eyes!
AH! I only want you, to only be with me. Us, being lit, by your watch-es green liiiiiiiight!
My darling, lets have, a wild, vivid love! Burst forth, with your, sexy beauty!
A little sweet dream of, changing myself completely...
is slowly, being, pain-ted. My loooooove! My world's changing be-cause of yoooooou!
Chulu-Chulu-Chulu, Pa-Ya-Pa!
(Song End)
Was gonna do the CHUUU gag, but this was totally funnier. So who could that have been, I wonder who? ;)
Not asking for 5 reviews this time, but review all the same. As you've seen above, I made up an ending theme based on the Japanese version of Disco Lady, you guys like? And yeah, it's not as great as my main theme, I know. But I had to include the song somehow! Imagine the disco ball being a giant Omnitrix symbol; and vines, lit flooring, flowers, etc. are replaced with Codon Stream stuff. And yes, at the end of the song, their on the roof of the school.
Now I'm gonna probably be asked: why is Kokoa somewhat friendly to Ben? Well, think about old vampire movies... black-and-white kind of old. In them, its mostly females getting "attacked" by male vampires and vice-versa, still to this day depending on the authors/filmmakers/animators imagination. The reason being, is because its a type of bond. When the vampire sucks blood from its "prey", its not only to feed him/herself, but to bond itself to a potential mate known as "Blood Bonding".
Also, soul-mate blood is VERY addictive to the vampire... Outer Moka's shown us THAT one too many times! XD
So yeah, I'm playing on that to build up Ben and Kokoa's relationship, plus the fact that Ben was the first one to understand her pain and defend her. While on that note, I believe if the anime went on, she would have secured a spot in Tsukune's harem anyway. Even the manga implied it once or twice, I think. In any case, see ya in the next one!
Its gonna be an original chapter, something brand-new... you'll love it!
