"We're all set Tsukune. I've contacted Kokoa and Kahlua. They're accompanying Father here." Moka was telling Tsukune in his room.

"That's great. Mizore and Kurumu's mothers are coming as well, but right now, I need to talk to the other Moka for a second." Tsukune said, taking the rosario off of Moka's neck and surfacing Inner Moka.

"What do you want?" she sneered.

"I want the aggression to end. I understand that you don't like Seiteki, but-"

"But you want me to put my feelings and opinions aside and help her anyway? Do you have any idea how it makes me feel when you choose someone you've been acquainted with for an entire semester over someone you've KNOWN for three years? Believe me, it doesn't feel good."

"I'm not choosing Seiteki over you. She's in danger and I want to help her. Why can't you see that?"

Moka crossed her arms. "Because we've been down this road before. Twice, actually. The first time was with Kurumu, and the second time was when you spared Seiteki. Both times, you disregarded MY feelings."

"You wanted to kill both of them. You eventually befriended Kurumu. Why can't you do the same for Seiteki. She would appreciate it, and so would I."

Inner Moka thought for a few moments. "I've let my internal feelings for you cloud my judgment in the past…and I think I'm going let it happen again. The only reason I'm going through with this is for you." Moka decided, taking Tsukune's hand and making him put the rosario back on her neck. "Just don't forget that you owe me BIG."

The Outer Moka re-emerged.

"So what happened?"

"I reasoned with your inner self. She's going to help us."

Underground, Megami paced around the room, waiting for something.

"Kenage! Rujutan! Where are you? We have to leave NOW!"

"Okay, okay. We're coming." said Rujutan's voice. After a moment, the twins walked out from a stony corridor.

"That's the second time I've let Seiteki escape my grasp. Since I can't rely on my own flesh and blood to bring her back FOR me, we're going up there and taking her."

"We DID bring her back! It's not our fault that she escaped. WE weren't the ones fighting her down here." Rujutan protested.

"Watch your mouth, little lady. You already got ONE spanking today for failing me. Do you want ANOTHER one for being a smart-aleck?"

"No, ma'am." Rujutan said.

"That's what I thought. Now let's go. We're burning daylight."

Megami and the twins walked toward the elevator doors that led to the upper world.

***

Outside Tsukune's house, a small bus pulled up to a nearby stop.

"I hate public transportation. There's no air conditioning." said a woman's voice.

"Oh, stop complaining. At least we weren't riding in some crowded bus or train with freaks and perverts." said another.

Mizore and Kurumu came out of the bus first, followed by their respective mothers.

"Freaks and perverts aren't as bad as melting." Tsurara said.

"Of course they are! Which would you rather have: six or seven men grabbing at every part of your body, or a little perspiration?" Ageha asked.

"How do you put up with that?" Moka asked.

"What?" Mizore asked, taking a pair of plugs out of her ears.

"So what was the problem that you told us about?" Tsurara asked.

Suddenly, a small explosion shifted everyone's attention.

"What was that?" Kurumu asked.

"It's her…" Seiteki said ominously.

"That's the problem we told you about. Come on." Mizore said, running toward the site of the explosion. As they ran, the screaming and talking people around them suddenly fell silent, then fell to the ground.

"What's happening?" Tsukune asked.

"It's a charm. One that puts mortals to sleep." Moka explained. "You're ghoul powers prevent it from affecting you."

The large group soon reached the explosion area. Megami emerged from the smoke first, coughing.

"I hate that stupid elevator. And those screaming mortals, ugh! Looks like my charm worked like a charm, however." she said, looking around at the people lying on the ground all around her.

"No way… Megami??" Ageha said, astounded.

"It IS her." Tsurara said.

Megami's eyes lit up.

"Ageha! Tsurara! It's so good to see you two!"

"Uh…" Kurumu murmured, confused.

"Remember the time I told you that me and Tsurara were rivals for someone's love back when we were students at Yokai Academy? Well, I never told you the whole story." Ageha began to explain. "As it turns out, by the time Tsurara and I stopped arguing and fighting over Ko, Megami had already STOLEN him from us."

"I didn't STEAL him. He asked me out. Ironic isn't it? You two were fighting over who was going to ask him out, but HE asks someone ELSE out. That's awesome."

Tsurara's hands and hair turned to ice. Mizore took a similar appearance.

"You don't know what you're getting into, Mizore. Megami is a killer. She'll destroy you without a second thought."

"What about you? You can't fight her alone. Besides, she endangered my friends, and I can't forgive that." Mizore said.

Tsurara nodded. "Fine, but watch yourself. This battle will be harder than any you're ever fought before."

Tsurara threw a small ball of ice at Megami, and as it cruised through the air, it grew into a much larger ice ball, smashing into Megami and carrying her in its direction. Tsurara ran after her. Mizore followed as well, freezing the entrance to the recording studio as Kenage and Rujutan emerged, suspending them in a large block of ice.

Megami flew with the ice ball all the way to the harbor that sat on the edge of the town. She smashed the ball and fell into the water.

"Ugh! This is my favorite dress!" she complained.

Mizore placed her hands on the water in the harbor, flash-freezing it. Megami quickly activated her hybrid form and paddled her tails under the water, giving her the lift to jump up out of the water before it froze over.

"Thanks a lot! You've ruined my best outfit!" Megami said, clutching her soaked dress. "I guess I'll have to slip into something a little more comfortable."

Megami ripped her dress off of her, revealing a shorter, tighter sundress.

"Now where were we?"

Tsurara and Mizore leaped onto the ice, gliding across it with ease. Megami tried to move, but found it extremely difficult to walk on the ice in high-heel shoes.

"Guess I'll have to beat you standing here." she said, ducking and weaving whenever Tsurara or Mizore swung their claws at her. To keep herself steady, she buried the heels of her shoes into the ice. Mizore came around for another attack, but Megami grabbed her arm before she could strike.

"No!" Tsurara said, gliding as fast as she could toward Mizore.

"I gotcha!" Megami said, swinging Mizore around and striking Tsurara, sending them both flying back toward the harbor.

"Now, let's see if you can handle this!" Megami yelled, slapping her tails on the ice consecutively. Tremors began to break the ice apart and make Mizore and Tsurara unsteady. Megami then turned around and slammed all of her tails into the ice at once, causing a large wave to rise up and careen toward the mainland.

Mizore and Tsurara gasped and glided forward, blowing a large cloud of ice on the wave, slowing and eventually stopping it.

Megami punched the ice in front of her, sending a large burst of energy through the ice, completely destroying the large ice wave. Large chunks of ice began to rain down. Tsurara leaped back, but Mizore was too slow and was engulfed in the large cloud of ice and snow. All of a sudden, Megami leaped into the icy mist and gave Mizore a jarring punch, making her fly into one of the docks and smashing it to pieces.

Tsurara gasped, then ran forward to strike Megami, who leaped into the air. She began to rotate her tails like a propeller, giving her the ability to fly.

"This is getting tedious. Let's make it a little more interesting."

Megami flew low and grabbed Seiteki, lifting her up into the air with her.

"Hey! Put me down, please!" she yelled.

"You'll thank me for this." Megami said, charging a ball of fox fire in her hand. Tsurara's jaw dropped.

'She wouldn't.'

"Let's see if you can block THIS!" Megami yelled to Tsurara, dropping the fox fireball.

In a panic, Tsurara ran onto the mainland. When she reached where the fox fireball would land, she raised her hands in the air and the ice from the harbor rose up into the air.

Megami clasped her hands together, and the fox fireball suddenly expanded to a gigantic size. Tsurara clasped her own hands together, and the large clods of ice she had gathered turned into a gargantuan shield of ice that was trying to block the expanding fox fireball from leveling the town. Tsurara squinted, blowing a cloud of ice to keep the fox fireball from melting all the way through.

Tsurara used all of her strength to move the large shell of ice away from the city and into the ocean. She then began to violently hyperventilate, then collapsed from exhaustion.

"That's two down." Megami said, with Seiteki still struggling to get out of her grip. She looked down, seeing Ageha and Kurumu flying up toward her. Megami quickly moved out of the way, but Kurumu extended her claws to grab Seiteki from her.

"Hey! Get back here!" Megami yelled, beginning to fly after Kurumu. She stopped suddenly when Ageha grabbed one of her tails.

"Big mistake." Megami said, rotating the tail that Ageha grabbed, spinning her around at super-high speeds. Ageha was thrown off of Megami and sent flying through the air.

Kurumu flew to the ground and dropped Seiteki off, next to Moka. Ageha dropped down to the ground, shattering the large block if ice that was encasing Kenage and Rujutan.

"Mom!" Kurumu called, running to Ageha's side. The blow had knocked her unconscious.

'Oh, man! It's just me, Tsukune, Moka, and Seiteki! I don't like our odds.'

Suddenly, there was a cannon fire, and Kurumu was launched forward, rolling on the ground. There was a smoking bruise in her back from where Kenage struck her.

'And now…I like them…even…less…' Kurumu thought weakly before falling unconscious.

"Nice shot, Kenage." Megami said. "And then there were two."

The kitsune goddess turned her attention to Tsukune and Moka. They stood in front of Seiteki and backed away.

"Why are you trying to keep me away from my daughter? If anyone is evil in this scenario, it's you two." Megami scolded.

"I have no idea who you are. You told me yourself that you'd isolate me from my friends. I don't want to live like that, with someone I don't even know, and away from the people I DO know.

"I've changed my mind now. Once I restore your memories, your friends can live with you as your slaves."

"I don't want that! You can't make me!"

"Aw, sweetie. Of course I can." Megami said, sprinting forward and slapping Moka and Tsukune away. They both flew into walls.

"Seiteki!" Tsukune yelled, running forward. Rujutan leaped and tackled Tsukune, holding him down. Kenage bound Moka's arms behind her.

Seiteki tried to run away, but Megami grabbed her legs with one of her tails, flipping her upside-down.

"No! No! Please don't!" she protested as Megami touched her cheek.

"Please don't resist, Seiteki. I don't want to have to use force." Megami said sadly. When she saw that Seiteki wouldn't stop resisting, Megami grabbed Seiteki's head and forced her to look into her eyes.

"Just listen. What I'm going to do is regenerate your tails. The influx of power will jar your original mindset back to the surface."

"I don't WANT my original mindset!! If you're such a 'great mother', why won't you listen to me?!"

"Because right now, you're not my daughter. I want my daughter back, and I'm going to get her. The you that you are right now is a mistake, a mistake that I won't ever let happen again. Mistakes have to be erased, Seiteki." Megami said, her eyes glowing golden.

After a few seconds, Seiteki's eyes began to glow as well. She unwillingly assumed her hybrid form. Slowly, her tails were beginning to grow back.

"No! Seiteki!" Tsukune was calling as the regeneration process took place. He shattered a link on his holy lock and slipped into a ghoul form. Using his newfound strength, Tsukune pushed Rujutan off of him and began to run toward Seiteki and Megami. Before he could reach them, however, all four of the destroyed tails had been regenerated.

Megami flipped Seiteki back to an upright position and placed her on the ground. Soon, the golden glow flickered from her eyes.

"Seiteki, honey? Is that you?" Megami asked, paying no mind to Tsukune.

"M-Mom?" she asked.

"What can you remember?"

"What do you mean? I remember lots of- Huh? What am I doing here? Wasn't I at Yokai Academy just a few minutes ago?"

Seiteki looked around, spotting Tsukune a meter away.

"Tsukune! It's so good to see my lovely king again!"

Tsukune stared, flustered. Seiteki looked to her right and sneered.

"Moka."

Moka could do nothing but stare on, with a look of fear on her face.

Seiteki extended her claws, giving an evil toothy grin that matched her mother's.

"I've been waiting for this."

"Wait!" Moka said, remembering when Seiteki was defeated the first time. "What happened to the whole 'I deserve this.' speech??"

"What I may have said was all but half-true, just to get one tiny shot at being spared. It must've worked, because I'm still alive. Too bad you won't be able to say that in a few moments."

Tsukune ran forward in a desperate attempt to save Moka. Just as he reached them, a shadow passed over them all.

Suddenly, a spiked ball-and-chain with a smiling face on it fell from the sky, crushing Seiteki and knocking Tsukune and Moka back.

"Direct hit!" yelled a hearty voice. Suddenly, Kokoa and Kahlua dropped to the ground.

As Tsukune flew through the air, he unintentionally snatched Moka's rosario off, slamming into a wall and causing it to collapse on top of his back. Only the top half of his body was visible and Tsukune was unable to move.

Inner Moka emerged, and she looked around to get a good look at what was going on. Kokoa pulled back the ball-and-chain, which morphed into Kou, the bat.

"This battle lasted approximately two seconds!" he said.

"Ow…" Seiteki said, slowly standing.

"Never mind." Kou said.

Kokoa squinted and turned Kou into a spiked flail, using it as a baseball bat and striking Seiteki, sending her flying into a wall.

"Seven seconds!" Kou called. Seiteki fell off of the wall and stumbled to her feet.

"Never-"

"Shut up!" Kokoa yelled, turning Kou into a large medieval mallet and attempting to smash Seiteki again. She caught it.

"I'm getting sick of this." Seiteki said tiredly. She pushed Kou back, preparing to strike back.

"Don't tire yourself, Seiteki. I've got it." Rujutan said, leaping in front of her older sister.

"I guess that means you're MY player two." Kenage said, crouching in front of Kahlua.

"Please don't make me do this. I don't want to hurt you." Kahlua said.

"Good. This should be easy, then." Kenage said, throwing a lightning-fast punch at Kahlua.

Moka looked up into the air, seeing someone else leap to the ground.

"Father." she said. Megami reacted as well.

"Ko-san! What a pleasant surprise!" she squealed. "I haven't seen you since the break-up." the last words escaped gritted teeth like acid.

"Megami…" Moka's father said. "I haven't seen you in years. What's been going on with you, other than the obvious digression to insanity?"

"Well, I've had 20 more kids, Seiteki came back, and I hate you with a passion now, but enough about me. What's been happening in your life?"

"I've been taking it SLOWER and had only four children, I met an interesting young friend of one of my daughters, and I hate YOU with a passion."

"Well that's good."

"I assume you're the one I've come here to defeat?"

"Before we initiate this pointless one-sided fight, take a look around you."

Ko looked around, seeing the unconscious bodies of Ageha and Tsurara strewn across the ground.

"You'll end up worse off than them if you go through with this."

"I was stronger than Tsurara and Ageha when we were all schoolmates, and I'm STILL the strongest out of all of us."

"Hm hm. Be careful. I may have to take you up on that claim."

"Go ahead and try!" Ko said, sprinting forward and throwing several blows. Megami blocked most, but caught one in the stomach, sending her skidding backwards.

"What happened to the chivalrous cutie I knew in school?"

"Don't get me wrong, I still believe in chivalry, just not for insane sex addicts. That's WHY I broke up with you."

"Well, if you to play it like that, get ready!" Megami said, running forward for a counter-attack.
