Mafin's POV

Man, I really wished I actually killed that nosy human the other day. But no, Deep Blue-sama had directly ordered me not to fight, so there should be no fatalities. On the other hand, why waste a perfectly good, (almost) dead human. So I dumped him (via teleporting) in a hidden place nearby Café Mew Mew. I say it'll take them a couple days before they find his body and a rather unknown time for him to wake up, if he ever does. If he ever wakes up, he'll tell the truth, as he's that kind of human. Fear should soften Tokyo Mew Mew up for the next battle and strengthen Sousui's spirit before we "use" it.

But now we have to focus on the attack. Kukki calculated the success rate to be 96.2, but if only if certain things are done right. First, the renegade fraction cannot be allowed to interfere. Kukki have already taken care of that, as yesterday he sent a rampant (meaning uncontrollable even by other aliens) gorilla chimera animal on renegade that either wounded or tired them, thus rendering them unable to fight. Second, there cannot be any other human interference. We almost had a breach in this condition when I found a human hiding near the school, but I took care of him. But how did he know about this attack in the first place. To prevent further interference, we will create a "bubble"/force field to keep additional humans out from the school. Third, we have to fight the Mew Mews one at the time. This will be more difficult but I think we can do this. Deep Blue-sama came up with this plan himself.

I could take care of Sutoroberi though. On Deep Blue-sama's orders I've continued to keep tabs on her and obviously her attempted date was a total flop. She now worries that Yuki hates her now because she had to ditch him. Thus, after talking to her friends she will seek the advice of a history teacher that practices fortune telling occasionally. Today that teacher had to finish up her work well after class in an empty wing of the school because "someone" opened up a window that let the wind in and blow all the paper across the room. So as planned Sutoroberi went to the far side of the school to meet with her history teacher and I eavesdropped on the conversation.

"Good Afternoon Sensei," said Sutoroberi.

"Good Afternoon," said the history teacher. "Shouldn't you be at lunch now?"

"Yes, but could you give me some, um, 'special advice'?"

"I could try yes. Come sit over here."

There was a pause and the sound of a chair moving.

Sensei asked, "Could you tell me about…"

"Yuki Kisshu," interrupted the teacher. "Apparently news of your failed date has spread throughout the school."

"It has?"

"Now, I want you to give me your hand, close you eyes, and concentrate. I may not be very good at palm reading but I'll try my best."

Then there was around a minute of silence.

"Not very good," I heard the teacher say. "I think Yuki Kisshu is a very bad match for you."

"What do you mean?"

"Yuki Kisshu is the Lord of Pain; a hero at heart. He's so unselfish he'll even protect total strangers with his life, but death doesn't come easily to him. Yuki lives in perpetual pain due to an injury he sustained years ago so he can experience virtually unlimited pain and not die. What this means to you," as she paused for a sec here, "is that as his girlfriend you will also experience his pain too. He will go to extremes to protect you against anything but you also experience his pain. This is the power of love we are talking about here, or the curse as it's also called. I think it would be best if you leave Yuki and his pain by himself. That's all I have to say about him."

"Thank you sensei."

As Sutoroberi left that classroom I had three thoughts on my mind at the exact same time.

"What! There's another Lord of Pain! How dare he steal's my title!"

"This is not good. Something has to change or Sutoroberi and Yuki will break up, which is a really bad thing since Yuki is the only weakness I can think of for Sutoroberi."

"Even worse, that didn't take as long as I expected. Wataame and Kukki didn't have enough time at the other side of the school. I must find a way to distract Sutoroberi for a while longer."

Interesting enough, the solution was quite simple.

Sutoroberi would be walking back to lunch but while still in the empty wing of the school she would start hearing screams coming from an empty classroom. All other sounds would be muffled from the walls and she wouldn't be able to get in through the locked door but she'll still recognize the screams as her precious Kisshu-kun's. This works much better if Sutoroberi only hears because she'll have to use her imagination on what's happening here. The only thing she'll hear besides the screaming is Yuki's voice yelling, "Please! I don't care what you do to me but don't harm Sutoroberi! Please!" But by the time I heard "MEW MEW STRAWBERRY! METAMORPHIS!" and ""RIBBION STRAWBERRY SLASH!", Sutoroberi would find the classroom empty through the door she destroyed to get in. Instead, she would find Yuki's body sometime later and cry over it. Problem solved! Now if only I would not be teased by being called a matchmaker and somehow I get the feeling that Wataame is going to find a way to lose.

Wataame's POV

Know what, before the battle I got this weird feeling that we, meaning Kukki and I, are going to lose this battle, even though all of us knew that Deep Blue-sama's plan was perfect. But after the battle… DAMN THAT SOUSUI! I'M GLAD WE'RE TAKING HIM DOWN NEXT TIME BECAUSE NEXT TIME HE'S GOING DOWN! Ok ok. Maybe I should calm down a bit. I think Kukki is at fault for us losing too.

It all started out fine. Like Deep Blue ordered, we found a rare moth and turned it into a mother chimera animal, which we could use as a way to create an army of spirit based chimera animals. I'll explain this later. Next, we released it into the target school, where it started spreading an airborne sleep toxin; both extremely powerful and very slow working. Working over in 48 hours/2 days, I doubted anyone even noticed its effect until it was too late as they slowly kept on getting sleepier and sleepier (although I heard that Mafin had to "take care" of a human that was being nosy). Once the poison started taking maximum effect (that is, everyone falling starting to be fully asleep), the three of us split up. Mafin had to distract Mew Strawberry so I would be facing only two of the Mew Mews at once and Kukki had to maintain a bubble force field around the school to intensify to effect of the poison and to keep any more humans out. Kukki would be also working on another army of spirit based chimera animals as backup; the old-fashioned way so he wouldn't need Mafin's other katana.

As Deep Blue predicted, the Mew Mews were resistant to the sleep poison. But they were still too sleepy to notice that everyone else was fast asleep. So I ordered my moth chimera animal to send the one called Banira an extra strong wave of poison that knocked her out completely. That definitely woke up her twin who then realized what's going on and shouted "Mew Mew Chocolate, Metamorphisis." But as soon as she was done, I used my shield to send her a force wave that knocked her to the wall behind her. Even if she was resistant to the poison she was still weakened by it. But she was still conscious, still quite awake. I grabbed her chin and made her eyes contact mine. "So," I said, "You are supposed to be Mew Chocolate, huh? Not so strong now aren't you? You can't even protect your own friends," as I pointed to a group of friends of hers that I gathered in preparation in this. Mew Chocolate weakly pleaded, "Please, not them. Anything but not them." I replied, "In your dreams!" I took out Mafin's sword and used its power to remove the spirits of Mew Chocolate's friends from their bodies and used fusion with the mother chimera animal. The result was a dozen fresh, dangerous spirit-based chimera animals. And apparently each one had a pattern in likeness of the human they came from. I like this a lot. By now Mew Chocolate had gained enough strength to get back up. But I doubt she would be able, or even willing to fight a dozen of her best friends that I sent to mob her. At this point we basically won this battle. Mew Strawberry is elsewhere, Mew Vanilla is out, and even if Mew Chocolate gets out of this, having to fight her friends is still going to hurt her in her heart. But the next thing I know there was a tremendous flash and bang that stunned me. While I was still trying to recover from this I heard a boy's voice go "Quickly! Destroy the main chimera NOW!" Next I heard Mew Chocolate yell "RIBBON CHOCOLATE STRIKE!" When I could see again I saw that all the chimera animals were gone and the air was clearing up. Looking at Mew Chocolate I was that I was able to hurt her, but next to her was a boy wearing an overcoat. So this is the Sousui Mafin told me about. I'll make him pay, with his spirit!
