Chapter 3 - Yokai of the Hunter's Dream
Yokai
The word yokai is made up of the kanji for "bewitching; attractive; calamity" and "spectre; apparition; mystery; suspicious". They can also be called ayakashi, mononoke or mamono. Yokai range diversely from the malevolent to the mischievous, or occasionally bring good fortune to those who encounter them. They are beings of power and mystery, to be respected at all times.
In the Changed World, they have become far more active and far more numerous, spread across the known world. There are many classification for them and those that defy classification.
A Yokai's "true form" can be human, animal, plant, object, or natural phenomenon. The animals of an ancient forest to the toys of grandmother could become Yokai with enough emotion and spirit energy in the air.
A Yokai's source of mutation can be this-world related, spiritual/mental related, reincarnation/next-world related, or material related. .The Changed World is a constant source, forever binding there fates.
A Yokai's external appearance can several things: human, animal, plant, artifact, structure/building, natural object or phenomenon, and miscellaneous. Many yokai are masters of illusion or can shape shift at will, so appearances are always considered deceptive.
Some fall into more than one category.
When the world was Changed, the spirit world grew far more turbulent and the barriers between it and world of the living strained with the new power. The very nature of the world was changed and continues to change, creating more and more apparitions.
There are many humans who were transformed into Yokai. Some choosing the power to survive, some merely transformed by circumstance or unplanned actions of other Yokai.
Pre-Halloween Event there were ethnic enclaves of Chinese people outside China, Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan. Areas known as "Chinatown" existed throughout the world, including Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Australia, Zealandia and the Middle East.
Post-Halloween Event, there are Yokai Villages in every major colony. They contain large numbers of yokai who have proven far more resistant that normal humans to the Red Sky's torments. They also have a large population of interbreeding hanyou, half breeds that were once so rare and disliked as now very common.
Central City - Yokai Village
November 17, 2019
Deep the heart of a large tower, the Yokai Council has gathered for a meeting. The yokai officials and businessmen are divided by classifications. This appears to be an important meeting as everyone is alert.
The most prominent members are four powerful beings dressed like noblemen, each with attendants. They are clearly the leaders of Central City's Yokai.
One is a mature Chinese nobleman standing over two meres tall (6'7) with azure blue eyes and long flowing dark green hair tied back with gold hair piece. He has arcing eyebrows, pointed ears, sharp canines, small antlers made of dark wood, and a long beard. He's dressed in flowing blue-green robes illustrated with trees, blue Chinese dragons. As he brings his cup of warm tea to lips, sharp nails and blue scales are also revealed.
His attendants are a dark-skinned man with amber eyes and wild red/gold hair and a woman with red eyes and thick snow white hair. The man has sharp canines and pointed striped cat ears on his head, while the woman has long white rabbit ears. There uniforms are green with a forest pattern.
"Qin, Azure Dragon of the East" says the dragon in human form. His symbol glows on the Pentagon Shaped Table.
The Second resembles a young pale boy standing a metre and half (4'11). He has vermillion red eyes, pale skin, and hip long wild hair. The feathered hair is a bright red mixed with black, gold, and white. He also has a white markings on his forehead and pointed ears. He's dressed in red/black clothing and his black coat is covered image of fire with a bird of flame on the back.
His attendants are a white skinned woman with long white hair and gold eyes and a muscular man with dark eyes and a jet black hair cut in a Mohawk. The woman has red markings around her eyes and fangs of snake and the man has black skin with two horse ears on the top of his head. They both wear red clothing with flame pattern.
"Zhu, Vermillion Bird of the South. Lets get this show going."
The Third is a young woman standing five feet tall with gold eyes, white complexion and wild white, chin-length hair with an asymmetrical bob style. He skin and hair have the black stripes of a tiger and she has the claws, fangs, tail, and ears of a Big Cat. She's dressed like warrior in white with a white fur collar cloak. She also has a gem in her forehead (ajna chakra) and gold/silver earring.
Her attendants are a white haired muscular man and white haired woman both possessing gold eyes. The man resembles an ape with white hair, while woman has short feathered white hair. They both wear white uniforms with shiny buttons and wind/cloud symbols.
"Lady Baihu, White Tiger of the West. Let's begin."
The Fourth is a tall beautiful and mature woman standing over six foot with pale skin and long flowing black hair reaching her ankles, unrestraint by any ties or styling. Her eyes are polished silver with black sclera like the moon reflected on water. She has dark markings around her eyes and black lips. She wears flowing black dress and aquatic theme jewellery.
Her attendants are large heavy-built man with buzzcut black hair and a short, thin woman with long black hair tied in a braid. The man has pointed ears and prominent lower canines and the woman has pointed and prominent front teeth. They are both dressed in black.
"Daiyu, Black Warrior of the North" she says with a smirk, "Yellow Emperor will not be attending today. He and attendants are celebrating there youngest kids becoming Adventurers."
Daiyu's godchild, who carries her name, is also an Adventurer. The Phantom Sisters is popular Adventurers in Yokai Village.
"So Soon? That makes me feel like an Old Man." says Zhu with a cocky smirk.
"You'll always be immature, bird boy" says Lady Baihu.
"How's Sienna?" says Zhu, not phased by her words, knowing the answer.
"None of your business, feather head"
Sienna Kahn is a Bengal Tiger Faunus from the World of Remnant. She became the leader of the pro-faunus organization White Fang after the previous leader Ghira Belladonna stepped down. Under her leadership, the White Fang became more aggressive and willing to violence to protect the rights of Faunus. She was murdered by the human-hating extremist Adam Taurus, who had been her second in command and inspiration for the change in White Fang.
She awoke in the Changed World and in time joined Lady Baihu's court. Lady Baihu and Sienna look almost identical, except the Lady has white tiger colouration. Zhu's court started rumors that Sienna is actually Lady Baihu's daughter. It doesn't help that Sienna's daughter Scarlet called Lady Baihu "Grandma".
"Let's get down to business." says Qin. He knows how his friends can get without the Emperor around.
"Yubaba's Bathhouse."
"She managed to expand it and is now accepting more guests. Considering how stressful our Changed World has become, a relaxing vacation spot in the spirit world would be nice. It would also be nice to not reek of mortal world."
Yokai's senses are sensitive to the scent of the mortal world. Mortal humans smell very unpleasant to spirits, which until a recent development there has only been one case of a mortal working at Yubaba's Bathhouse.
The recent development was a alchemical pill developed for Qi cultivators. It was meant to strengthen the body and spirit meridians of a beginner, but it also removed one's "mortal scent". It's useful for hunting hollows.
"We have authorized the construction of a spirit portal in Central City. We have to hire Onmyoji and Shinigami to prevent disruptions to the spirit flow. He don't need another invasion of ghosts or Hollows."
Shinigami or Soul Reaper are the main psychopomps - spiritual being that handle the movement of souls between the world of the living and the world of the dead. They transport ghosts to there destinations in the afterlife and cleanse corrupted souls. In there original world, there were 13 Court Guard Squads that organized the Soul Reapers. In the Changed World, there are many more divisions.
Onmyōdō ( lit. 'The Way of Yin and Yang') is a traditional Japanese esoteric cosmology, a mixture of natural science and occultism. In them Changed World, it's a form of Japanese-style spell-casting. The current head of the Central's Onmyōdō Organization being a reincarnation of the legendary Abe no Seimei. A man who during life analysed strange events, conducted exorcisms, warded areas against evil spirits, and performed various rites of geomancy.
"Next on the List, we have Dragons. Not just any dragons, but Filia, Valgarv, Arc, Irene, and Sonya"
"Oh Crap."
The crowd around the Four Guardians is filled with whispers.
Filia Ul Copt, a golden dragon of the world of Slayers, formerly serving as a priestess under Flarelord Vrabazard, the Fire Dragon King. When she's not using dragon magic, she's using a very large iron mace.
Valgarv, an Ancient dragon of the world of Slayers, he became half-mazoku to get revenge, even absorbing the powers of greater demon and greater god, but was defeated and resurrected as an Ancient Dragon. Only an Infant Hatchling, He became Filia's adopted son.
Arc is man who retained his pre-Halloween mind after gaining the memories and power of Acnologia, the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse from Earthland. Acnologia as the Arcane Dragon he devours all forms of magic without a specific element and as a Dragonslayer he slaughtered a entire race of Dragons.
Irene Belserion, is both a dragon and mage known as the Scarlet Despair. She was once the Queen of the Earthland Kingdom of Dragonof, who lived in peace with the benign dragons, but in order to fight an invasion of malicious dragons she became the first to learn Dragonslayer Magic. She eventually became a Dragon herself and didn't regain her human form until many centuries later. The magi of the changed world were able to restore her human senses, curing her dimorphic madness.
"What happened?"
"Valgarv is no longer a hatching. He's been secretly dating Sonya, Arc and Irene's daughter, and they recently ran off to get married. Filia is scared of her son dating the daughter of two dragon-slaying dragons, and Irene is not happy with any man around her daughter. It's a twist since she abandoned her first daughter Erza because she couldn't possess her."
"She and Erza have made up since then, or should I say Erzas. There is more than one in the colonies even one from that Edolas place."
"So why are they talking to us. They want to send out a multi-colony alert to find them."
"They are both legal age. It's there choice. The answer is no. This is a parenting problem, not a colony problem."
"Next on the Agenda. Some Demon Slayer attacked an Oni, didn't care that the person isn't the same type of Oni he normally hunts. He was able to get in because of another Demonslayer from his world and his cute Oni sister. Judgement on the two."
"I read there backgrounds. They should be closely monitored, but I don't think the boy will do anything that endangers his little sister. As for the attacker, put a seal on him so he can't enter a Yokai town again.
"Next, we have important news. Central City now has a Karas."
"A crow?"
"Karas is the Spiritual Guardian of a City, It's own manifested Hero. It happens when the spirit of the city in the form of a Nekomata called Yurine makes a contract with a citizen whose soul holds great strength and sorrow. It allows his soul to manifest as a tengu-theme armoured warrior called a Karas."
"How powerful is a Karas?"
"The "original" Karas was as powerful as some later stage Kamen Riders with the addition of mystical sword attacks and the ability to transform into either a small fighter jet or an armored land vehicle resembling the Bat-mobile."
"Serious."
"Serious."
"Well, It's Good News, Strange, but Good. So lets move on."
"Next on the Agenda, Nuraiyhon and his Hyakki Yakō"
Hyakki Yakō ( lit. "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons") is a term used for the gathering of yōkai beneath a leader's banner, which can only be mobilized by the leader's command.
"More like Ten Thousand Demons. Rikuo Nura is very charismatic in his Yokai form. He's been doing excellent work with the neighboring areas."
CRASH!
The group pauses at the loud sound. Daiyu taps the surface of the table with her finger causing it to ripple and become a black mirror. This black mirror acts like giant television or computer screen displaying the events outside.
Minutes earlier
The woman's scream is cut off as sharp spikes puncture her chest. The spikes make a loud sucking sound and the woman's body withers as her body fluids are consumed by her attacker. Soon only a dried emaciated husk remains of the girl and collapses into dust. As that remains is the woman's clothing and the dust.
The Yokai woman's murderer begins to shift under her hooded cloak. The dark green spike retract as dark inhuman flesh bubbles and stretches, eventually becoming smooth skin. Green eyes, long green hair, and curves form next. The murderer removes her hooded cloak to reveal she now looks identical to how the girl did and with a wave her hand, the clothing on the ground vanishes leaving a cloud of remains and appears on her new body.
"Tina Green, Courier. A perfect chance to get close to the officials."
"1... 2... 3... 4..."
"Whose there!?"
"5... 6... 7... 8... 9"
"Who are you!?"
"... it is 10. Sway to and fro, sway. Do it now, Karas!"
There is a bright golden light that hurts the eyes of the assassin. When she opens her eyes she sees an armored warrior standing in front of her, the intrigue black armor glowing a faint red and emitting steam before cooling.
"Release:"
A glowing eye medallion embedded in the armor glows and seal on the sword is release. He pulls out the blade which is glowing a faint red.
"So much for an easy job." says woman as her arm grows and then explodes into fleshy tentacles tipped with sharp thorns, bone spikes, and metal blades. The tentacles move fast enough to slice a squad of heavily armed soldiers to pieces, but Karas possesses superhuman speed, slicing each tentacle before it can hit and countering every attack. The tentacle fragments begin to dissolve as they hit the ground, bubbling away into nothing.
"You damn Crow!"
Clothing and skin are shredded as her body expands to monstrous proportions. The body is composed of twisting eldritch tentacles composed of a mixture of flesh, wood, and metal. It`s face lacks any features excluding six glowing red eyes. The monster releases jets of corrosive purple liquid that hisses as it burns the walls and ground. At the same time using tentacles to toss random objects from the alley.
Karas blocks the shots and tosses his sword as a spinning blade, cutting the thrown objects which bursts into the flames as the hidden curses detonate. Karas vanished when the threw the blade, but he reappears next to the monstrous assassin, threw the cloud of steam and miasma. The sword appears in Karas`s hand and with a single slash, an entire arm is removed.
The Assassin roars in pain as purplish liquid sprays and burns the ground.
The eye medallion glows and so do the eyes of the Karas. The world around the two fades to darkness and a beautiful moon not scene in decades appears in the sky, bigger than normal. The shadowy forms of crows gather in front of the moon, before form a single figure with the head and wings of a crow - A Tengu.
Karas falls from the sky as the illusion world shatters, spinning towards the falling assassin with a glowing crimson blade, before slicing the monster in half from head to crotch.
The monster lets out a roar before it`s consumed by an explosion.
Karas stands in the darkness of the alley as the fragments bubble like grease on a hot grill. Piece of wood rot away and piece of metal corrode in the dissipating miasma. Karas is still on alert, the eyes of the tengu helmet still alight. He then makes three lightning quick slashes with his still glowing sword, hitting something invisible and silent.
A huge demonic spider larger than a man with two minions the size of dinner plates appear with a rippling effect. The large grotesque spider is a dark purple, dark blue, and black with acidic green markings around the joint. The large symbol on the thorax resembling an demonic ogre face complete with bull horns, bull ears, an angry scowl, and a mouth full of fangs. It has creepy, long, and sharp legs with blade-like tips and the dark purplish-white fur around the black head . The head even has eight red human-like eyes.
The smaller spiders are merely smaller versions of the larger lacking the green markings and less detailed demon marks.
All three have been sliced in half by Karas's sword, releasing foaming glowing green ooze. They collapse to the ground before dissolving completely into mist. A shattered stone spider talisman falls to the ground where the main spider was.
The Karas reverts back to his human form - a young man with brown eyes and wild brown hair dressed in dark clothing and a doctor`s coat. Yurine appears next to him, looking similar to all Yurine, a girl with very long hair with two large ponytails dressed in techno-punk clothing with goggles on her forehead. A white tail marks her as cat yokai.
"One of Naraku's Assassin Incarnations. A leftover from the War?"
"I'll call some of the Investigators, assuming Daiyu hasn't already."
Team 12
Yokai Yakiniku
Yakiniku, meaning "grilled meat", is a Japanese term that, in its broadest sense, refers to grilled meat cuisine. "Yakiniku" originally referred to western "barbecue" food, but the term later became associated with Korean-derived cuisine during the early Shōwa period.
Meat is very popular amongst the yokai warriors, especially the more exotic meats. While humans and other yokai are off the menu, Adventurers are often sent to hunt edible monsters. These more animal-like monsters don't decay when killed and are dismantled by professionals to meat and other useful materials. Yokai Yakiniku employs many supernaturally skilled Chefs, both human and yokai, and rivals Central City's Orange Fox Restaurant.
Central City's Adventurer Team 12 came to the Yokai Village's famed restaurant to celebrate a big hunting mission. They managed to hunt half a dozen Rhison - a hideous cross between a American Bison and an African White Rhino. Each one over 3000 kilograms (6614 pounds) of bone and muscle with rock hard hides and three menacing horns. These monsters had been smashing wall and vehicles since they first appeared, but then someone discovered not only were they food monsters, they were gourmet monsters whose magical meat equalled the lost age's wagyu beef. A bounty was sent to the Guild and it was Team 12 that returned victorious.
"Six Monsters each weighing three thousand kilograms and seventy percent of there bodies being Gourmet. A Total of twelve thousand six hundred kilograms of Gourmet Meat. If this was that Wagyu stuff from before the Events, this would cost over five point five million US Dollars." says one of the Guild receptionists doing the math in her head, "I haven't been this excited since Team 7 brought in that Gourmet sea dragon. It weighed Fifty thousand kilograms and produced thirty seven thousand five hundred kilograms of gourmet meat. It was a holy day for the felines of Central."
Team 12 is a little worried about the starry eyed look on the Catgirl's face. They know Cat girls can have an addiction to fish and fish products, but she is a "little extreme"
"Thank the gods for Interspatial rings. Can you imagine how much effort it would take to transport that much meat? How much would have spoiled? How many time monsters would have attacked attracted by the smell of blood and magic rich meat?"
Monster Meat contains crystallized magic, there are even microscopic mana crystals flowing in a monster's blood. If the amount of crystals is too high, the meat becomes toxic and the flesh will decay rapidly when the creature is killed. If the amount of crystals is too small, the monsters will often fail to adapt to ever changing environment, dying to the Red Sky and stronger monsters. While normal wild animal meat would be tough and stringy due to the animal efforts to survive, magic actually allows monsters to enhance there strength without radically changing the muscle. This means magical creatures taste better than normal animals, hence called Gourmet Monsters.
Team 12 has been listening to this explanation since they arrived. The patrons are all excited by the Rhison steaks and Team 12 as part of the reward gets a free meal.
Team 12 are also celebrities in Yokai Village being the children of some of those prominent Yokai.
"The Hunt Replay is Working!"
Humans normally wouldn't want to see how there meat was hunted and killed. Yokai on the other hand want to see the skill and effort that went into there meals.
The Leader of Team 12 is a very handsome humanoid male standing 170 cm (5' 10) with a relatively athletic and slender physique. He also has red eyes with slit pupils and short silver hair. While he normally wears a loose white shirt and black pants with a black tie and shoes, he's currently clad in tight red/black armour with large bat-like wings, This armour forged from his own crystalized yokai blood and is strong enough to protect him from a Rhison charge.
He avoids the charge of the enraged Rhison and it's thunderous hooves, before releasing a crimson arc from his sword. The sword beam stops the charge and even knocks the beast back, but fails to cause any damage beyond leaving a burn in the thick fur..
He's the son of two Shinso Vampires, who possess the strongest blood of there world. That world was threatened by Alucard, a Shinso Vampire who wanted revenge against humans and absorbed many monsters to gain there powers. He was defeated by his adopted daughter Akasha, another Shinso vampire and her two companions. When the monster was released from it's seal it was Akasha's daughter and a transformed human that stopped him with the help of there friends.
Son of Moka Akashiya, daughter of the Dark Lord Akasha Bloodriver.
Son of Tsukune Aono, a human who eventually became a Shinso Vampire.
"Team12 Leader: Katsu "Crimson" Akashiya"
"He' s using Yōjutsu"
Yoki or Spirit energy is the source of power for all Yokai. It is this vital monster energy that gives all Yokai their strength, speed, endurance and healing powers that exceed a normal humans. It varies greatly among the different Yokai species of the same world, let alone many different worlds. Yōjutsu (Monster Arts) appears to be the art of manipulating Yōki
His arm, both skin and blood armour develop glowing cyan markings resembling electronic circuitry. Red vampire eyes shift to glowing blue. As the Rhison charges, Katsu vanishes in a blur of movement and crackle of energy. He appears behind the Rhison as the massive beast collapses and slides across the ground leaving a trail of vital fluid.
"Hougestu Jigen-tou!"
The Hougestu Jigen-tou (Moon Crushing Dimensional Sword) is an extremely powerful attack that is known as the "Ultimate sword" or "Dimensional sword". It grants the user the power to "delay" their existence, phasing in and out of matter. By doing this the user can cut through anything with their bare hands. The only thing that has ever stopped it was Muei-Tou (Shadowless Sword) developed by Touhou Fuhai and used by his father to defeat his Aunt Akua.
"Why did he learn swordsmanship when he can cut anything with his hands?"
"I heard he's dating the Taisho daughters and there dad is big on swords."
The sisters are both supernaturally beautiful and athletic women standing 163 cm (5'9) with long silver hair, gold eyes, and light skin. They both have fangs, claw-like nails, red slash-like markings, pointed fox ears that add over twelve centimeters (5 inches) to there height and nine furry fox tails. Tho they look similar, there mothers couldn't be more different.
One has very long hair with pink highlights and has a gold sun marking on her forehead. She dresses in flowing blue robes decorated with black and gold. She also carries a rather large decorated mirror Despite the size of the mirror, the kitsune girl is able to move it as if it weighed no more than a gold coin.
"Togako Taisho, the Fox Sorceress." appears on the screen.
Togako holds up her mirror, which reflects the image of one of the Rhisons. Crimson flames dance across the mirror's surface and the Rhison's eye begin to burn red with rage. An aura of hatred erupts from the creature's body as steam erupts from it's nose. The enraged Rhison roars as it charges at Togako, the dry earth cracking beneath it's feet and foaming falling from the mad beast's mouth.
The Rhison collides with an invisible barrier creating a ripple of light in the air, then is sent flying back by a force greater than it's own charge. The sound is like that of an explosion with undertones of breaking bone! It struggles to get to it's feet after tumbling across the ground for several meters.
"Eight Fold Vengeance!"
Togako's Mirror floats above her as eight ofuda talismans appear around her. The Talismans glow with Yokai before becoming eight spheres of blue-white energy that flow into the mirror. The Mirror then stops and flips into Togako's hands before releasing a ghostly spectre of the Rhison. The glowing phantom races across the ground before striking the living Rhison with the force of Eight Enraged Rhison charges. The Rhino-Bison hybrid tumbles across the ground clearly no longer a threat.
She is the daughter of Tamamo no Mae, Fox Priestess of Peerless Beauty. According to the Legend, she was a woman of astonishing beauty that served as a courtesan for Emperor Toba toward the end of the Heian era (794-1185). She is publicly known as a Kitsune (lit. "Fox"), and is credited for catalysing the downfall of the Shang dynasty, among other powerful regimes. One version of her was reborn as Caster for the Moon Cell Holy Grail War, given a goofy, silly, and cheerful young fox girl. An affectionate who masked her loneliness.
The Other sister has shorter hair lacking highlights, longer tails, and dresses in stylish traditional clothing of a martial arts dynasty warrior. She has a crescent moon symbol on her forehead. She also carries a decorated white sword.
"Kumiko Taisho, the Fox Assassin." appears on the screen.
Kumiko dances across the battlefield, jumping with supernatural agility and looking down at the Rhison with a look of superiority. She knows she will succeed in killing the creature, it is inevitable. She moves passes her charging enemy, the edge of her blade slicing clean threw the rock hard hide of the supernatural animal. The enraged creature glows with an aura of hatred but Kumiko ignores it, as she places a glowing finger tip on the blood-stained blade of her white sword.
"Soul Burn Slash"
As her finger moves across the flat of the blade, the blood vanishes and glowing symbols appear on th polished metal. As the enraged Rhison charges, she makes a downward slash. The demon sword technique releasing a wave of ghostly purple-white flame that washes over the beast. There is roar of terror as the flames return to Kumiko, flowing back into her blade and taking specks of golden light with them.
The flames don't burn the ground with it's moss and patches of dry grass, but it seems to drain away what little life remains leaving withered plants and dust.
Kumiko has a sadistic, smug look as the beast collapses in pain and weakness, drained of rage and left only with fear. She slowly walks up to the shivering creature, her movements seeming predatory to the dying creature. She places her hand on the scared Rhison's head and pulls back holding a glowing orb. She holds it briefly then devours it, sucking it into her mouth. She then walks away from the dead Rhison, licking her lips.
She is the daughter of Ahri of Runeterra, Ahri the Nine-Tailed Fox. Ahri is a vastaya who can reshape magic into orbs of raw energy. In her world, she reveled in toying with her prey by manipulating their emotions before devouring their life essence. Despite her predatory nature, Ahri retained a sense of empathy as she receives flashes of memory from each soul she consumed.
Her daughter is far more sadistic enjoying the fear of her victims.
"The girls are so different, just like there mothers. Togako is sweet, kind, affectionate, and helpful, she just believe in the concept of overkill or mercy. She is well liked nu everyone. Kumiko on the other hand has the air of a sadistic noblewoman, loving to dominate and show weaklings there place. A real alpha princess."
"We better keep it down, there father just walked into the Restaurant with his nine-tailed wives."
The father is one of the most powerful yokai in Central City, an Inu-daiyokai (Great Dog Demon), the pure blood son of the Lord of the Western Lands Togamaru. He is the master of Tenseiga ("Heavenly Rebirth Fang") which can save a thousand lives and kill the walking dead and Bakusaiga ("Explosive Crushing Fang") which destroys all it cuts. The warrior whose name meaning the Destruction of Life.
"Lord Sesshōmaru"
Lord Sesshōmaru looks like a 19 year old despite being over nine hundred years old, standing 174 cm (5'9") and a weigh of 85 kg (187 lbs). He's an extremely attractive, tall, and slender Yokai male with slit-pupil gold eyes and knee-length silver hair. He has a purple crescent moon on his forehead that could be seen beneath his bangs, two magenta stripes on each cheek, and a magenta stripe on each eyelid.
Lord Sesshōmaru is less concerned with rabble of drunken patrons, as he glances over at his wife's arms which holds a tiny boy with gold eyes, white hair, two furry eats, and nine tails that look gigantic on a baby. Who knew the "Killing Perfection" was such an protective father.
He glances at the screens displaying the Rhison Hunt.
The next member of Team 12 is a very attractive young woman standing tall at 180 cm (5'11) with bright green eyes, tan skin, and long flowing vibrant red hair. She has pointed ears, sharp nails, and her hair contains many flowers. The stylish white martial arts outfit decorated with images of Japanese flowers and plants and in his hand is a thorny red rose.
"Mayumi Minamino, the Bloody Rose Gardener"
"Rose Whip"
In her hand the rose grows, lengthening, twisting, and growing as the petals fall away , transforming into a dark green bullwhip with sharp thorns. She moves her arm and the whip becomes near invisible blur that slices rocks tossed into the air by the Rhison.
As her Rhison opponent charges, she jumps into the air and strikes at the beast's face, striking one of the eyes. The creature lets out a cry of pain, then becomes enraged glowing with aura. It charges at the young woman, but she easily avoid the charge over and over again. This goes on for several minutes until the aura dies down and the Rhison is panting in exhaustion.
Suddenly, it begins to shake it's head in pain and foams at the mouth. It stumbles around before collapsing dead to the ground. As the young woman approaches, flowering plants emerge from Rhison's head.
"You were dead with my first attack." says Mayumi as she touches one of the emerging vines, the vines move like electrocuted snakes before they gather in her hand. The spherical mass of pulsating plant matter is soon the size of a basketball. The sphere darkens and withers, shrinking into a handful of rice-size black seeds.
Mayumi is the daughter of Shuichi Minamino, the reincarnation of the great thief of the demon world Yoko Kurama. He was yoko (demon fox) that could break any seal and steal any treasure no matter how closely guarded. During one theft his luck ran out and was injured by a trap. Dying from his injuries and being hunted by the guards, his spirit fled to the human world and took over an unborn child that hadn't received a soul yet. He was originally going to leave when his powers fully returned but was shocked to learn he cared for his human mother Shiori. When she became ill, he agreed to work with a couple of demons to steal three treasures from the spirit world, planning to use the Forlorn Hope to save his mother. It would have taken his life, but recent spirit detective Yusuke jumped in and the Hope granted the wish without cost. Since then, Kurama has helped Yusuke on various cases for the spirit world, until there retirement.
In the Changed World, the over three hundred year old fox yokai in teenage body found himself protecting a group of survivors with his plant manipulating powers. He protected them from the walking dead and pumpkin plant monsters, guiding them to safer colony. During the many violent battles, one of the survivors was soaked in the blood of thousand demons. She was transformed into a demon and became Kurama's companion. The Valentine Event made her more than a companion.
The last member of Team 12 is a young woman standing over six feet tall with an athletic build and a very impressive bust. Her eyes are blue-gray like the colour of a frozen lake and shoulder-length hair is a pale silver-blonde. The hair is done is an impressive braid with hanging lochs in the front. She's dressed in a very tight military uniform that shows her impressive curves, tho it doesn't look like it was her choice by her blushing. She's so agitated that her vampire fangs are showing.
"Caterina Integra Nightroad, the Vampire Eater"
"I can't believe I have to wear Mom's old 'Police Girl' uniform because of a Bet. This is so embarrassing. I'm way taller than her and this thing is so tight! What kinda perverts did she work for!? I thought they were Vampire Hunters. How am I suppose to catch this beast when I'm worried that I'm going to explode out this thing!"
The Rhison in front of her is agitated by the noise she is making and the scent of something dangerous and bloody. It roars and charges at the young woman, intending to smashing her into chunky salva, only for the woman to raise her hand and grab the Rhison by on it's horns. The Rhison's charge is stopped in it's tracks by the insanely strong grip. The woman's arm is covered in flowing black liquid and blood red aura and her eyes have shifted from ice blue to glowing red.
"There is something that can make me feel better."
She throws the Rhison a dozen meters back. The black liquid flows from her body, forming a long rod of hardening metal over 237 cm long. It transforms into a 30 mm, single-shot breech loader cannon with markings that refer to it as Hellsing ARMS Anti-Tank Cannon 'Harkonnen'.
"Bitches Love Cannons!"
Those are the last words the Rhison hears as a black metal bullet smashes threw it's skull, travelling threw the length of it's body as the massive creature is sent flying back by the supernaturally hard and fast bullet.
After the adrenaline fades and her red eyes revert to blue, she begins to blush again.
"I can't believe I had to use that phrase as well."

Ping.
A button falls to the ground.
Right now, she wants a change of clothing.
The final Rhison is the largest one with the biggest horns relative to it's size. It seems to have several scars on it's ride and it's fur is uneven from accumulated battle damage. It's heavy breathing producing steam from it large nostrils and it's eyes glowing with malice. The aura around it is a mixture of dark red and black. It stomps the ground, creating a small crater before releasing a shockwave that pushes the Team back.
"Boss: Rhison Alpha Bull"
Caterina forms a huge black handgun and opens fire on the beast. The rounds are powerful enough to kill a full grown African Elephant, but are stopped by the Aura of Hatred. She forms the Black Harkonnen and fires an anti-tank round, but it still fails to penetrate the Aura. The Rhison does notice and responses with a wave of destructive force. A howling fire of fire with the force of a locomotive, consuming everything in it's path.
When the flames clear, Caterina is standing on a small island of dirt in a burning trench in the Earth. Her skin is pitch black and smoking, but soon reverts back to normal.
"Well that did nothing." Ping. "Damn it!"
"Lets work together on this one" says Katsu as he shields himself from the another shockwave, and the following storm of dust, with his wings. "Plan number 6-C."
The daughters of Senshoumaru spread there tails and make gestures with there hands. As Togako moves her hands lines of gold-white light appear, while Kumiko's movements generate dark purple and ghostly white flames
"Blessings of the Fox Goddess" says Togako, as her sister Kumiko says "Curses of the Fox Goddess"
Nine golden Talismans each radiating light appear around the battlefield attaching themselves to the various Team members, before vanishing in white flashes. All members of Team 12 glow with a golden glow.
Nine dark red Talismans each radiating darkness appear around the Rhison Alpha. They go threw his Aura of Hatred, absorbing part of the malice, before striking the beast. The beast cries out as the Talismans turn into vanishing ash, leaving dark burns.
"BLC!"
Caterina fires her Black Harkonnen from a different position, her vampiric strength making it easy to run at super speed with a 60 kilogram (~120 pound) anti-tank rifle. The Bull only gets minor damage, but the shot does pierce the Aura.
As the Bull tries to turn to release another river of fire, Mayumi's voice is heard.
"Netherworld Thorn Bind"
Dark green and poisonous purple vines erupt from the ground underneath the Bull and warp tightly around the creature, so many vines it covers every bit of the Rhison's hide. The vines then rhicken slightly before growing a long sharp black thorns. If it was a weaker creature, the ten thousand thorns would have ended the battle and the majority of the creature's juice wound be staining the ground. Instead the Bull's thick hide stops the majority and the creature tears itself from the thorny vines.
Mayumi waits for a precise movement then uses her whip to snag one of broken vines.
"Kumiko!"
Kumiko grabs the thorny vine tossed to her and finds vital fluid on it's thorns. Her burning fingertip streaks across the flat of the blade and the symbols appear once more.
"Caterina! Sis!"
"BLC!"
The shot is powerful enough to blow one of the Rhison's horns off. The Rhison release it's fiery blast with all his rage. It's fired at an intensity that even harms the Bull, in it's violent madness it doesn't even feel the pain
"Absorb Attack!"
The destructive river of malignant energy is drawn into Togako's mirror. The exhausted Bull can only watch in confusion.
"Soul Burn Slash"
"Eight Fold Explosion!"
A wave of ethereal flame washes over the Bull causing it to cry. As it falls to it's knees , eight golden talismans appear in the air around him, circling there target. Each of these eight talismans stop and shatter releasing blasts equal to the Bull's fiery attack. This creates a thunderous explosion and as the wave of the Soul Burn returns to it's master's demonic blade.
The Rhison Alpha Bull collapses covered in wounds and drained of life energy.
Katsu waits a moment as the Boss monster breathes it last.
"I would call that a success."
"You didn't get to show off your new technique!" says Togako, "I wanted Father see you use it."
"Your such a child, sis."
"Don't start a fight. Lets pack up and go before something shows up."
Screech!
A flying demon is soaring threw the air towards the group drawn by smell of blood and the negative energy emitted by the battle. The demon beast is avian resembling a mutated Pteranodon with a rock hard grey hide, sharp claws, am mouth of sharp teeth, and burning red eyes. As it flies it leaves behind a trail of smoke and sparks.
"Opportunity comes to the worthy" says Kumiko taking a stance of Iaijutsu - This art of drawing the Japanese sword, katana. Her powerful yoki aura expands outward spinning around her, moving faster and faster before contracting back into her. She draws the sword lightning quick with a cry of "Dragon Strike!"
A thunderous blast of brilliant purple-white energy shoots towards the flying Katsu. Katsu smirks and slashes with his own glowing red sword
"Crimson Strike!"
As his red blade passes threw the energy of Kumiko's attack, the energy is absorbed. He then turns and releases an even larger releasing of demonic power. The brilliant burst of red and purple-tinted energy streaks across the sky and collides with demon beast before it can react. The demon beast is consumed by the luminous sphere of destruction. It hard flesh and bone shattering into decaying fragments in the intense heat and pressure. As the body crumbles completely into dust and ash, all that remains is a purple crystal that falls to the ground like a meteorite.
There is cheering and clapping from the Restaurant patrons.
The other close family members of Team 12 have also arrived, some with additional children.
"I'm so happy to have such a wonderful meal"
"Calm down, Abel. Your not getting paid poor by the Vatican." says Ceres.
"You shouldn't... ehh."
"The first time I met the Vatican in my world, I ended up with dozen blessed bayonets threw the neck, so I can criticize them as much as a I want." says Ceres, "I wonder how Anderson would react if he knew I married a Catholic Vampire Lord."
"Kurama!"
"Yusuke?"
"It's good to see you, man. Or at least a version of You."
"It's good to see you, but your going to have to call me Shuichi."
"You mean the Naruto Militia?"
"Correct. We already have a few thousand Yoko Kurama around."
In another part of the Restaurant.
"Synthetic Blood Type 3. What do you think?"
"It's a lot better than Type 4. How many types are there?"
"Seven. We have so many different types of non-hostile vampires, the magicians, alchemist, scientists ended up needing to create that many. Some require certain chemicals, some require spiritual or magical component."
"I heard something about Type 8"
"It's poisoned bait meant for hostile vampires, made with holy water and blood thinner."
