As the Doppelganger stands before us, mimicking the inner Moka's vampire body, overwhelming monster energy and murderous aura included, Kokoa is completely shocked. Her eyes are wide open in fear at the sight of someone having as much power as her older sister.
As for me however, I'm just ecstatic! This guy might have Moka's abilities and monster energy, but since he isn't Moka there's no reason for me to hold back. I can use as much of my power as I want without having to hold back, this is perfect!
Kurumu and Mizore rush to see what's going on a little too late, but as their eyes widen in complete horror they can tell from the demonic aura what he did.
"Who would've thought this girl had so much power hidden inside her?", the Doppelganger asks himself as Moka hits the ground with a thud.
With my friends seeming frightened by this faker, I begin to laugh uncontrollably at the wonderful outcome before me and everyone just stares at me, even the doppelganger.
Furious with the boy's ignorant and disrespectful behavior, Kokoa lunges at the doppelganger as she shouts, "Stop pretending to be my Big Sis you faker!"
Before she can even lay a finger on him though the now super powered monster punches her once and she goes flying into the nearby wall, shattering it as she slams into it. As her blood stains the stone wall, Kurumu and Mizore rush to the small vampire's side to assist her.
This doesn't phase me in the slightest though, only causing me to laugh even harder at the situation, which confuses the hell out of the faker. "Finally! Finally I get to fight with all of my power! No restraints. Not having to worry about hurting any friends or feelings! I get to crush my enemy with all my power! This is perfect!", I gleefully exclaim as my right hand begins to glow again. I feel the power flowing through me again and say, "S class super monster recognized, releasing the second seal. SS class released."
"SS class?", Kokoa asks as she pulls herself from the crater in the wall, only for the halls to fill with my monster energy once more as I transform into my SS class monster form. "An SS class monster? He's making this up right? There can't be any class higher than S, right? RIGHT!?", Kokoa asks but nobody answers her.
As my monster energy masks the ground like a fog, my eyes glow and I feel the urge to battle fill my veins. "I should really be thanking you, doppelganger. It has been so long since I've been able to use this form. And I have a few tricks I'd like to test on you.", I say as my cloak opens and I form a great hellhound from my aura.
"You think that can stop me?", the fake asks me as he kicks the hellhound into dust.
I only smile at this display and Kokoa frantically asks, "That's it? That's all that giant thing had?"
"No, it was just setup.", I answer as I look to the doppelganger with a sly grin.
"Setup?", the doppelganger questions as he looks at the ashes and they begin to glow with a redish light.
The ashes suddenly ignite into a burning flame before forming into a flaming hellhound that lashes out at the fake vampire. As the boy barely dodges the surprise attack, I say, "That is a flaming hellhound, bathed in the flames of the Underworld. Those flames will burn anything they touch to a crisp."
As the hellhound chases him away from Moka, I cheerfully watch his attempts to evade its deadly fangs and say, "I guess it's time for test two." "Test two?", Mizore asks as she turns her attention back to me.
With a snap of my fingers, the hellhound begins to flash while charging at the doppelganger. "That doesn't look good!", the faker shouts as he tries to run.
Before he can escape the animal, the hellhound explodes into hellfire and covers the doppelganger in flames. Frantically rolling across the ground, the Doppelganger tries desperately to extinguish the flames, but as his futile attempts fail, I tell him, "Those flames only die when they've finish burning their target. You can't extinguish them."
The faker's a smart one though and finds a way around the flames by removing his burning shirt, tossing the now flaming rags aside and fighting me shirtless. "This will give me the edge I need to beat you, demon!", he confidently declares as he grins at me, but he doesn't seem to understand his situation.
I only laugh at him and say, "You think I'll be phased by some breasts like some child? Not every man is as foolish as you and Tsukune." I glance over at Kokoa and she has another massive nosebleed, maybe she swings both ways?
Turning my attention back to the fight, I rush towards the faker for an attack as the hellhound's ashes rejoin my aura cloak. Though he's more than adept at hand to hand combat, I still have the upper hand since my cloak allows me to make hellhound at will.
I throw a powerful punch at the boy, but he manages to duck underneath and go for a counter attack. He quickly finds this to be impossible as I use my pyromancy to ignite the area around me, forcing him to retreat. Seeing another opening in his defenses, I throw a quick left hook at the boy, but he manages to catch it. I respond with a stronger right hook, but he uses his vampiric strength to catch that one as well.
"Heh, you're all talk and no bite, buddy. You can't even land a good hit on me!", the doppelganger proclaims with a cocky grin on his stolen face.
I just grin back at him though before my cloak opens up, revealing a darkened void of nothingness inside. Much to his surprise, my giant hellhound leaps out from the void, biting down on the doppelganger's neck before throwing him into the nearby wall with all its might.
"What was that about not having any bite?", I growl at him as I approach the bleeding boy. Despite his injuries, the boy manages to get to his feet and attempts to grab my face, but I already have a countermeasure prepared for his 'copy' ability. As his hand's about to touch my face, I blow my own head up to prevent him from copying me.
"Y-your head... Where's your head? Where the fuck is your head!?", he shouts in complete horror, backing himself against the wall as he looks at me in complete disgust and fear.
I ignore his questioning and just punch him in the face before hearing Kokoa exclaim, "How? Why!? What!?", as Tsukune and our two witch friends come to see what's going on.
Even Tsukune's left baffled, frantically asks, "Reiji, where did your head go!?"
I reform my head and say, "I can regenerate, remember? It doesn't matter what body part I lose I can just regenerate it in this form and be perfectly fine." I use another hellhound to hold the doppelganger in place, pinning the boy to the wall while we check on Moka. She seems to be fine, but it's better to be sure.
Then the doppelganger does the most idiotic thing, he tries to copy the hellhound that I have holding him down. He barely gets his hand near the beast's face before it chomps down on it, ripping off two of his fingers in the process.
He screamed out in pain, "You damn thing! I'll kill you!"
I laugh and say, "Kill it as many times as you want. It'll just keep coming back."
"How? How can I lose with all my knowledge and all this power?", the doppelganger growls in his defeat.
"Well, you were at a disadvantage from the start. Nobody here has been able to beat me yet. Not even Moka.", I inform the faker as my crimson eyes burn their way into his soul.
Kokoa is more than surprised when she hears this and asks, "Wait, you beat my Big Sis? How?"
I only laugh off her surprise before responding with, "I'll tell you about it later. Now I have to deal with him." I walk over to the doppelganger and start to think of what I should do to him. Maybe set him on fire, no too simple. Oh, cut him to pieces? Nah, too messy.
As I'm pondering what to do with this faker, Ruby reminds me by saying, "The Headmaster wants as many of these thieves alive as possible."
With a heavy sigh, I turn to the taller witch and groan, "I was going to have fun with this one, but I guess if he orders it I have to do as he says." With a quick flick of my wrist, the hellhound grabs the doppelganger by his throat and slams him into the stone wall with half of its strength, knocking him unconscious. "So what do you want to know about my fight with Moka?", I ask Kokoa as I revert back into my human form and glance over my shoulder at her.
"You? You were able to beat my Big Sis?", the tiny vampire asks me with a slightly skeptical expression.
I quickly reply with a nod while saying, "Yep", as I walk deeper into the ruins.
"Where are you going?", Mizore asks as she looks over to me with a slightly concerned look in her eyes.
"I'm going to go find the other students. Come on Kokoa, we can talk on the way.", I answer the snow woman as I make my way further down the path Tsukune came from.
"Hey, wait up!", Kokoa shouts as she sprints to catch up to me.
"How did you do it? How did you beat my Big Sis?", Kokoa continues to ask as she looks up at me with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Honestly I just out lasted her.", I reply as I follow Tsukune's residual aura.
"You 'out lasted her?' What the hell does that mean?", the small vampire growls at me as we continue down the hallway.
I glare over at her for a moment before explaining to her, saying, "Your sister is tough, I'll give her that, but she can't take too many hits. I was able to take more damage than she could and dish out as much as she did so I ended up winning."
"So, what was it like beating her?", the prideful vampire asks me in a surprisingly sheepish tone.
I chuckle as I remember my fight with that Moka and say, "It felt great actually. I usually never get to use that form and to be able to fight someone without those seals on feels like I'm as free as possible."
"So why don't you always have the seals undone then? If it means you get to stay an SS class super monster and be basically invincible, what's the problem?", the confused ginger asks me with a slightly irritated growl.
"Well, when I go extended periods of time without the seal my mind begins to, how do I put this? It begins to warp. I become someone else.", I try to answer her, but from her reaction it looks like I only made more questions.
"Someone else? So like how the seal takes away my Big Sis and turns her into that wimpy Moka?", Kokoa asks, surprising me with her somewhat intelligent thought.
I give her a slight laugh and correct her, saying, "Kind of. Except that my other self is a hyper aggressive anarchist that wants nothing more than to kill everyone. So it isn't the best idea to let him run around free."
As we come to the end of Tatsumi's residual aura, we finally find the cell they were keeping the students in. One guy is laying on the floor in a pool of his own blood while the other students are still in the back of the cell, unconscious. "Man, Tsukune really did a number on this guy.", I note as I look at the dead guy's destroyed hands. "Look at his hands! They're super fucked!", I jokingly tell the vampire girl, to which she seems to glare at me. Guess she doesn't like my joke, whatever. I walk to the back and pick up all three of the students and call out to Kokoa, "Okay, that's everyone. Time to get the fuck out of here." As I walk out of the back of the cell I see Kokoa kicking the shit out of the more than likely dead guy on the floor.
"What did that guy do?", I ask the seeming enraged vampire as she beats the lifeless corpse to its second death.
"He's the one who took Moka.", she growls back at me as she continues to unleash her fury on the body.
"Well, he's probably dead from the massive blood loss, but if it makes you feel any better go right ahead, just try not to get any of it on me.", I tell her as I pat the young vampire on the head.
She follows close behind me as we leave and the vampire asks, "So how can I become strong enough to beat her one day?"
"Strong enough to beat Moka? I don't know. I was able to beat her mainly because I could heal any damage she did to me and keep on fighting. For you it'd be more around dodging her attacks and getting a few good hits in every now and then.", I reply as we head towards the exit.
"So if I did that, I would have a chance against her?", Kokoa somewhat gleefully questions me with a slight smile forming on her face.
"Yeah, but I'd suggest you go through some intense training like Kurumu and Mizore did. That way you're strong enough to take more hits when you can't dodge an attack, because that will happen.", I suggest to the still training vampire as we reach the exit.
The policemen surround me and shout, "Freeze, don't move!", as they point their guns at me. As I hear the clicking of their guns being readied to fire, I step in front of Kokoa, pushing her behind me as I prepare to take the shots and release the seals. If these guys want to screw with me, they've got another thing coming!
Suddenly Ruby's voice echoes through the crowd of people as she shouts at them, "They're with us! Hold your fire!" The masochist witch rushes out of the flood of people and as she forces one of the officers to lower their gun, the officer exclaims, "Stand down men! That's an order!"
"I got the other little shits they kidnapped. Surprisingly they're unharmed so they should be fine other than the possible trauma from being kidnapped and held at knifepoint.", I jokingly tell the witch as she approaches me. I walk over to the nearby medics and set the students resting on my shoulder down on nearby dollies. "If there isn't anything else the Headmaster needs I'll be heading to the Newspaper Club room to help work on the tomorrow's paper. I think I know what they're going to want to write about.", I growl at the witch before walking off to the Newspaper Club room, waving back to her as I leave.
