Chapter 10 Proof of Innocence! Harry's Class Takes on the White Council?
"How can you say that about them?" Harry asked Ramirez and Listens-to-Wind.
It was the next morning and Harry was in his basement apartment with his White Council buddies having breakfast and Jack pouring them tea.
"You know how the council feels about vampires and you're teaching a class of them to go against us with weapon partners." Ramirez said.
"That is not true" Molly spoke up.
"Molly?" Thomas asked.
"Harry wouldn't do something like that and those kids were waiting on a teacher and the DWMA were looking for one!" she exclaimed.
"Stay down apprentice!" Listens-to-Wind yelled.
She went silent.
"Look, you don't know most of the situation with those kids, they're good students and fighters and they're trying to protect themselves from a threat." Harry said.
"What kind of threat?" Listens-to-Wind asked.
"Thomas?" Harry asked.
"My cousins are trying to make two of them feed on fear in order to make them stronger and possibly turn into Kishin as well if they do that." Thomas answered.
"Doesn't your kind feed off lust?" Jack asked.
"They do, but there are the ones that feed on fear and pain." Thomas answered.
"What do you say to that you two? Does the defendant prove his case?" Harry asked.
"Not quite." Ramirez answered.
"Stars and stones!" Harry exclaimed.
"The White Council needs to hear this as well and see what will all your fates will be." Ramirez answered.
"That doesn't sound good." Jack said.
"We will be back when everything is settled." Listens-to-Wind said as he and Ramirez stood up.
"Thanks for the food Jack, hopefully you don't get punished for your actions as well." Ramirez said.
They watched the both of them vanish into the NeverNever.
Harry sighed and said, "damn it, why does all of the bad shit have to happen to me? Not only that possibly to the school's reputation?"
"Nevermind that now, since Mavera attacked here, that means Madeline and Madrigal might do the same." Thomas said.
"I guess we should report to Lord Death, Grasshopper look over the class until I return." Harry said as he got up.
"You got it!" she exclaimed as she ate a scone.
Both Thomas and Harry left.
Meanwhile, Kyosuke and Kana were still asleep in the infirmary while both classes visited them.
"At least they're still alive." Chrona said.
"They're vampires, of course they're alive!" Ragnarok exclaimed.
"The question is, will they be able to fight when there is another attack anytime soon or when they have a new assignment?" Tsubaki said.
"Let them sleep! I think they had their moments as stars already!" Black Star exclaimed.
"I heard that you twerp!" Kana growled as she woke up.
"Kana!" Jiro exclaimed.
"Nothing can keep me down!" she exclaimed.
"Now you're sounding like me you damn copy cat! You know I'm the real star around here! Yahoo!" Black Star exclaimed.
"If you're such a big star, then let me feed off that lust for it!" Kana exclaimed with a scary look on her face.
He scramed and ran off and yelled, "Get away from me you scary, vampiric bitch!"
"come to mama twerp!" Kana yelled as she chased after him.
"After being injured, she sure is pretty lively." Maka said.
"It's her inner demon coming out." Baki said.
They heard the bell ring.
"We better get to class, Stein will make us stand outside the room if we're late." Maka said.
Kana came back and said after she licked her lips, "That was tasty! What happened to Kyo by the way?"
"We'll explain on the way to class, come on." Jiro answered and grabbed her arm.
They all left the room and headed for class.
When they left the room, Black Star was on the floor stunned beyond belief. Tsubaki came up to him and asked, "You okay?"
"I think I had my first kiss and something just bit me." He answered.
She laughed and said, "come on, let's get going."
She helped him up and followed the others.
In Lord Death's office, Harry and Thomas explained what had happened on campus the night before and how the White Council will be knowing about what had happened and how Harry was teaching vampires.
"That is awfully strange for them to think about." Lord death said.
"Also harsh." Deathscythe said.
"Yeah, I also tried explaining the truth about how come I'm here, they wouldn't listen and probably get me killed when they bring it up in front of the rest of the senior council." Harry said.
"Well, whatever they come up with let them come and try to judge you." Lord death said. "Now, the other Ishida brother has changed into an axe, very interesting!"
"According to Ryo it happens rarely and his injuries caused him to him to change and also after eating the Caretaker's soul it gave him a chance to sstay conscious for a little while." Harry explained.
"Very interesting! I guess those two will have to work double!" Lord Death exclaimed.
"One problem though, how can we get Kyo to transform regularly like Ryo?" Thomas asked.
"You have to train him to." Lord death said.
"Very well." Harry said.
"By the way, anything from those two vampires after them?"
"Nothing, they have been out of our tracking range for a while." Thomas answered.
"That's a good thing I take it, I guess they will be out of everyone's hair when we get everyone on assignments again!" Lord Death exclaimed.
"Lord Death!" they heard and turned to see Cid running in.
"What is it Zombie Man?" Harry asked.
"People claiming to be the White Council are here!" he answered. "by the way, I am very sensitive of what I am!"
"I always seem to get that." Harry said.
"Maybe you should be more sensitive of everyone's appearance here." Thomas said.
"Not now Edward Cullen Reject, we have to meet the council." Harry said as he started to leave.
"Maybe I should meet this White Council of his." Lord Death said.
In the Blood Fang classroom, Molly was watching them as the class were doing research assignments when the intercom came on.
"Attention will class Blood Fang report to the training field? Will class Blood Fang report to the training field!"
"What?" Jack asked.
"Looks like we have to report there." Jiro said.
They all headed to the training field where they saw a group of wizards , some of the students, Lord Death, Stein, and Deathscythe waiting for them. Then they saw Kniges and Cid appear with the now awakened Kyosuke in a wheelchair and in a pair of clean clothes and his hair not so spiky.
"So, this is your class Haas?" a short, old man in overalls and a cloak asked as they walked over.
"Yeah, they are." Harry answered.
"Harry, what's going on?" Miaka asked.
"Class Blood fang, you know we of the White Council have come here to see you all?" an Asian woman with jade combs in her hair ask.
"White Council?" Baki asked.
"Is it because we're White Courts like Thomas?" Jiro asked.
"That is right, we know that Harry Dresden is his meister, but we don't know about your backgrounds of being here and being taught by him." Listens-to-Wind said.
"Which of you are the ones influenced by Madrigal and Madeline Wrathe?" one of the other wizards asked.
"That would be me and my brother, Kyosuke, who is in the wheelchair." Ryonosuke answered.
"That is true." Kyosuke said as he tried to get out of the wheelchair and was helped by cid.
"tell us something, have you try to feed off fear ever since you got here?" the old lady asked.
"I almost did, but I resisted." Ryonosuke answered.
"Look, we are trying to help them, especially Ryo, from being influenced by those two and we don't want them to feed off of fear in the first place." Kana said.
"So, we're trying to turn Ryo into a death weapon." Jiro said.
They looked to see the senior council starting to discuss amongst themselves about what they heard.
"Kyo, you alright?" Aria asked.
"Will be, also thanks cid." Kyo said.
"No problem, you shouldn't move around so much especially in the condition you're in." Cid told him.
The council broke the huddle off and the old woman announced, "we're going to have a duel with Harry's vampire students against three of our greatest wizards!"
"Are we able to use our weapon partners?" Jiro asked.
"Yes, we will be testing your abilities to see if you're telling the truth about your intentions! If you defeat our wizards, we will let Dresden keep on teaching and let you live." The old woman said.
"What do you think Lord death?" Harry asked.
"sounds reasonable, this class is very skilled against the enemies they went up against and also helped class of meisters against them, you will be impressed!" Lord Death answered.
"very well, I should go against them but with magic instead." Harry said.
"Are you sure?" Thomas asked.
"I think they will be okay." Harry answered.
"Very well then, Warden Luccio and Ramirez, you will be fighting alongside him."
"Never thought I would fight along side you again, Harry." Anastasia Luccio said.
"Yeah, me neither." He said.
"At least I get to see what you've been teaching them, Dresden." Ramirez said.
"I've been teaching them pretty well, but they already had some skills before I met them." Harry said.
"Enough chatter, let's get started!" Jiro exclaimed as he changed into his katana form and Kana took him.
Baki took off his coat and both of the Samamura sisters grabbed his arms and transformed into his gauntlets.
"I guess I will be the weapon this time?" Kyo asked.
Ryo nodded and asked, "You sure?"
"Yeah, I can't fight with my hurt shoulder." Kyosuke answered.
"Right." Ryo said.
Kyo closed his eyes and changed into his axe form.
"Ready?" ryo asked.
"Whenever you are!" Harry exclaimed.
Molly came onto the field and said, "All right, this fight will determine if Blood fang are what they say they are! Now, fight!"
She let out a few flashes of light with her magic to signal the start of the fight and disappeared.
"Fuego!" Harry yelled.
Ryo, Kana, and Baki dodged the attack. Then out of nowhere Luccio and Ramirez came at them with their swords. Both Ryo and Kana blocked them while Baki went after Harry.
"Nice moves for vampires." Listens-to-Wind said with an impressed tone to his voice.
Ancient May grunted a bit and said, "The fight is not over yet, Dresden, Luccio, and Ramirez are also skilled at their battles as well and the same goes for their magic."
"Remembber, these Kana and Baki are very good meisters and Ryonosuke is getting a hang of his fighting skill since he rarely gets to fight with Kyosuke in axe form." Lord Death said.
Ryo kicked Ramirez down and dodged one of his magical attacks that was sent at him.
Kana did the same with Luccio and Baki rolled and somersaulted in order to dodge the oncoming fire attacks from Harry.
"Giving up yet Baki?" Harry asked.
"I think not! There is one thing that you don't know about my gauntlets and that they can also do long ranged attacks!" Baki answered.
"Long range?" Harry asked.
"Ready girls?" Baki asked.
"Yeah!" they exclaimed.
"Rain of claws!" Baki yelled and his claws glowed and they shot out and struck Harry.
"Looks like Baki is about to win!" Maka exclaimed.
"Not so fast!" Harry yelled and used a veil.
"Wait, I thought Molly can use veils?" Miaka asked.
"Watch out Baki, he'll be coming from the back!" Aria yelled.
He flipped out of the way when he reappeared and swung at him.
Harry got hit in the chest.
"Not bad, you've been practicing." Harry said.
"Let's keep going it you're so impressed." Baki said.
"Just hold your energy until you soul link, I want to see this." Harry said.
Kana and Ryo kept on fighting the other two wizards with fierce perries and lunges. When they were catching their breath, Kyo was starting to glow a bit.
"What is going on kyo?" Ryo asked.
"I am about to reach my limit here!" he answered.
"does that mean you've given up or you want more?" Ramirez asked.
"Never,we're still up for the fight!" Ryo answered.
"Baki, we need to soul link and quick! Kyo's at his limit!" Kana yelled.
Baki nodded and ran over and asked Ryo, "Do you think it will work with you? I haven't tried with you."
"It will, me and Kyo share the same DNA after all, just focus on mine more." Ryo answered.
Baki nodded and stood in the middle.
"Hey White Council, there is one thing you don't know that there is something that bring us together and that is our soul link!" Kana yelled.
Baki closed his eyes and his soul started to glow and link up to Kana's and then to Ryo's.
"Now resonate!" Baki yelled.
"Soul resonance!" Jiro and Kana yelled.
Jiro changed into a long katana with a moon pattern to it
"Legendary technique of the katana meister! Moon crater!"
Her attack hit Luccio which caused her to go down.
"Not bad!" Luccio exclaimed.
"My turn! Ready Kyo?" Ryo asked.
"Yeah…use the second one!"
"Are you sure? I am not at my limit break!" he asked.
"Just do it!"
"fine! Soul resonance!" he yelled.
Kyo changed into his spiked axe form.
"Second technique of the axe meister! Sapphire horizon!" Ryo yelled and hit Ramirez.
"What the hell? That was one hell of an attack!" Ramirez exclaimed.
"My turn! Soul resonance! I will try and use the second technique as well! Dragon's strike!" Baki yelled.
Harry try to brace himself as got hit but he hit the ground.
The vampires hit the ground and breathed heavily as their weapons changed back. Kyo lied on the ground passed out.
"Sleep bro." Ryo said.
"Well, it looks like you proved yourselves well. You are innocent." Ancient May said.
"Thank you Ancient May." Harry said.
"You have taught them well, take good care of them and your apprentice as always." She told him.
He nodded and watched her rejoin the rest of the council and saw them all leave through the NeverNever rift.
Harry sighed in relief and said, "Thank you guys."
"Huh?" Kana asked.
"You saved my ass." Harry said and got up and walked away.
"I guess that's his way of saying good job." Jiro said.
Ryo nodded and said, "There is one thing left and that is fight Thomas' cousins.".
