Chapter 8: The Earth God, Spirit Detective, Exile Warrior and King of Games: Part 1 of 2: New Allies and Dark Meeting of Evil

Laura's memories came flooding back into her while she was unconsciousness. Her birth, her life and that special someone in her heart all return to her. In the conscious world, Laura groaned as she slowly opened her eye and saw the party staring at her with concern, save for Inuyasha who just said "Feh!"

"Where… am I?" Laura muttered as she slowly got up and rubbed her head in pain. "I don't remember this being part of the IS Academy…"

"Have you regain control of yourself?" Tomoe asked in concern for Laura's well-being.

"What are you talking about?" Laura glared at Tomoe before turning to her wrecked exoskeleton machine. "Okay, what the hell happened to my IS?"

"Don't you remember?" Tsubasa quipped. "You attack us with that whatever it's called when you were under the Master's spell."

"What…?" Laura started to think. A few seconds later, it all came back to her. "Of course… I was testing the newest IS back at IS Academy when that dark mist appeared and engulfed me and my four friends. I don't remember anything else, but someone chanted an incantation on me and I was under that person's spell."

"Are you okay, miss…" Nowa started to say before Laura finished for her.

"Laura Bodewig. I hate formalities, just call me Laura." Laura smiled slightly.

"You mentioned an IS… Do you mean that machine you were piloting?" Bridget asked, gesturing to the wrecked exoskeleton.

"What? You never heard of ISes?" Laura blinked with her singer eye.

"No… We have never heard of these ISes." Sanae looked away timidly.

"Well, IS stands for Infinite Stratos and they're powerful exoskeletons piloted only by women, but they're dangerous to use for war if they're not used properly, so restrictions are made on ISes to prevent wars involving them. But… a friend of mine who is a male somehow managed to pilot an IS and that was a remarkable discovery." Laura smiled slightly as her cheeks showed a hint of red.

"So, do you have any idea of who brainwashed you? You said the Swamp Witch's name." Nowa looked at Laura with a curious nature.

"The Swamp Witch…?" Laura murmured before another memory of her brainwashed state came back to her. "Oh yeah! That old hag brainwashed me into doing her dirty work! Wait until I get my hands on her…" Laura clenched her fists tightly before turning to the party and bowing lightly. "I am sorry for attacking you when I was brainwashed."

"Hey, don't worry about it. We're just glad you're freed from the Order's spell." Bridget closed her eyes and smiled. "My name is Bridget Verdant. It is nice to meet you, Laura."

"My name is Tsubasa Kazani. I'm a Symphogear, destined to fight Noises bent on mankind's extinction.' Tsubasa smiled slightly.

"My name is Alice Dodgeson, heir to the Dodgeson Foundation and world class treasure hunter." Alice grinned as she pointed her thumb at her chest proudly.

"Um…" Maron looked away shyly. "My name is Maron Makaron, Laura-san."

Jean bowed lightly and introduced himself. "My name is Jean, Laura."

"I'm Rem Ayanokoji, a Dream Hunter and the one who liberated you from the evil influence you were in." Rem brushed her hair with a smile.

"Junko Hattori of the Hattori clan and Class-A President." Junko introduced herself with a smile.

"Mai Shiranui, a kunoichi and unfortunate victim of being brainwashed." Mai sighed, she doesn't want to be reminded of being brainwashed the first time.

"I'm Super Sonico, but call me Sonico." Sonico closed her eyes and smile.

"Tomoe, a miko of Hinomoto." Tomoe introduced herself with a polite smile.

"I'm Nowa, Guardian of the Forest!" Nowa beamed enegertically.

"Ymir, a dwarf who uses axes." Ymir told her firmly.

Cutting this short, everyone introduced themselves save for Alucard which Laura glared at him and asked:

"Who's mister dark and gloomy over there?"

"…Alucard." He told her flatly.

"Someone's a bit gloomy." Laura frowned before turning to the party. "Let me guess… We're in another Earth on the home of Count Dracula who is real and a vampire hunting clan called the Belmonts take it upon their mission to defeat him every hundred years. I think the Order told me this when I was brainwashed."

"Yes." Bridget nodded. "And this same Order wants me to be sacrificed so they can open the dimensional portals of other worlds so they can conquer them."

"Well, I guess we better protect you from the Order then. I have a score to settle with them myself." Laura pounded her fists.

Alucard narrowed his eyes at Laura coldly and asked her "How good are you with a sword?"

"I know a bit about kendo, so my skills with a sword are so and so." Laura explained, Alucard then got out his old short sword and tossed it to Laura who caught it with great efficiency.

"Then you will join our group in stopping the Master of this castle and his Grand Order of Evil." He told her, Laura nodded with a smirk.

"Great, now can we get back to finding Naraku and the jewel shards?" Inuyasha complained. Rem looked at the half-demon with a serious expression.

"But there's a good chance we might run into more brainwashed heroes from other worlds and I'm all out of exorcism bullets." She told him.

"So we must seek an alternate way of freeing the heroes from the evil influences." Miroku scratched his chin in thought.

"Let's not worry about that for now." Tomoe told everyone. "For now, let's head back into the castle so we can formulate a plan."

"I agree." Ymir nodded in response. "Standing around here won't do us any good."

The party were walking back to the warp room until Inuyasha's ears heard a soft snoring. "Wait…" He told his friends, everyone stopped and turned to the half-demon with confused glances.

"What's wrong, Mister Doggyman?" Wakaba asked with a sweet expression.

"Call me that again and something bad will happen to you." Inuyasha responded with a growl. "Did you guys hear that snoring coming from that room over there?" He pointed to the room. The party listen carefully and heard the soft snoring.

"Who could be sleeping in this castle during a time like this?" Futaba murmured in confusion as she shivered a bit, luckily, no one saw her do that.

"It could be another person from another world…" Alucard mused as he walked towards the room. The party followed their mysterious leader in as soon as Alucard opened the doors.

They were inside a bedroom and it doesn't feel like a trap or something, but they saw someone sleeping on the fine comfy bed.

She looks like a seventeen or eighteen year old girl with fox ears and tail and blonde hair and turquoise eyes. She wears a purple sleeveless coat and skirt with gold trimmings and decorated with cherry blossoms with a strapping around her waist. Elbow-length finger-less gloves with metal gauntlets on her hands and arms with red armbands. Her hair is tied in a ponytail with a red string and a red jewel just between her neck and large chest. With her skirt is also a waist cape and a piece of armor on her waist just under the strap. And long black stockings almost to her hips. Jean drooled pevertedly at the mysterious fox girl's large chest which made Alice frowning at him and she responded by bopping him in the head.

"Who is she? And what's with the fox ears and tail?" Kagome blinked.

Shippo noticed the fox ears and tail and he beamed happily. "At last, I found someone who is a kitsune like me!" The fox girl stirred from Shippo's excited outburst and slowly rose up from her sleeping position with a yawn.

She rubbed her eyes and smiled at the party, saying "Ahhhh that was a good nap. And I met humans who are like Cinque in this weird world."

"Um… Who are you and who is Cinque?" Bridget asked carefully.

"My name is Yukikaze Panettone, but call me Yukki, please. I come from the planet Flonyard." Yukki waved cheerfully.

"Flonyard wouldn't happen to be that world where Flonyarians are people who looked like humans, but have animal ears?" Reika crossed her arms and asked the mysterious fox girl that question.

"Reika-chan, how much do you know?" Midori glared at her rival who is trying to pair Yuusuke with another girl.

"Why, yes. Though I was surprised that you know such a thing. Um…" Yukki looked around for a bit before turning to the party. "Can you kindly tell me your names?"

"My name is Bridget Verdant. It is nice to meet you, Yukki." Bridget closed her eyes and giggled slightly.

"Nice to meet you too, Bridget-chan!" Yukki closed her eyes and grinned in response. She turned to Alucard who looked away a bit. "Who's your mysterious looking boyfriend over there? I feel a dark but gentle aura around him." Alucard remained silent while Bridget was again red with embarrassment.

"That's Alucard. He may look scary, but he's really a good guy." Sonico closed her eyes and smiled slightly.

"I see." Yukki nodded in understanding as she placed a hand on her hip. "I believe I haven't gotten the rest of your names yet."

Everyone introduced themselves to Yukki, especially Shippo who was fascinated by her beauty and looking like a kitsune human. "It's nice to meet you all!" Yukki squealed, before she regain her cheerful composure.

"As for where you are. You're in Transylvania, the home of Count Dracula, a horror movie villain who is surprisingly real in this world. And a family of vampire hunters called the Belmonts take it upon themselves to take him down every hundred years." Alice told her. Yukki placed her hand on her chin in thought.

"I think I remember Cinque saying something like that, minus the real part. So I guess I'm not in my world or in Cinque's world."

Alucard narrowed his eyes at Yukki. "Yukikaze… Are you good with exorcism?" He asked her calmly.

"Of course. Exorcise demons and possessed people all the time. Why?" Yukki placed her hands behind her head with a curious expression.

"Listen, there are others like you who are brainwashed by the dark master of this castle and we ran out of the means to save them. So if you're good with that sort of skill, then we would happily welcome you into our group." Rem explained the situation to her.

"I see. So you want someone with unlimited powers to rid possessed people of evil influences that have brainwashed them. Then I accept being into your gang of heroes." Yukki grinned cheerfully.

"Happy to have you aboard, Yukki." Maron piped cheerfully.

"Um… can we get out of here now?" Yuusuke looked around nervously.

(Meanwhile, in a hidden area of the castle)

A group of shadows were watching Alucard's battle with Laura and the aftermath which occurred. "It would seem that the son of Dracula has freed one of our brainwashed minions." A sinister male voice said darkly.

"Yes, Lord Orichimaru. The son of Dracula is too powerful, perhaps can even rivaled the Kyuubi." A second and calm male's voice agreed.

"Bullshit, the Kyuubi once we acquired it will crush this Alucard guy in an instant!" A rough voice mocked.

"Calm yourself, Kisame. Alucard is the son of Lord Dracula." A man with normal eyes in the shadows scolded him.

"B-But Master Pein!" Kisame's voice in the shadows gawked.

"And Alucard has teamed up with my mortal enemy, the mutt Inuyasha and has gathered two of the Shikon Jewel's shards. Impressive for a half-vampire." A cool and calculated voice mused. "I have all the remaining shards of my world and Inuyasha's group has the other remaining pieces which will make the jewel whole again once I acquired them."

A cruel laugh was heard in the shadows. "How can a half-Downer like him was able to defeat a puppet Downer like that girl? To me, you Downers are weak and feeble."

"Wanna bet, Minos?" A cool and cocky voice challenged.

"P-Please, calm down Deidebra-sempai…" A childish voice frantically told him.

"Hehehehe! Alucard may be powerful, but without his precious equipment, he's a wuss!" A mocking voice said in the group of shadowy people.

"Have you forgotten, Older Toguro? Alucard has the ability to use his Blood King Mode, a form that not even we, the Grand Order of Evil can defeat. If we can weaken Alucard, we'll kill him and his friends and take the girl needed for the Master Plan." A feminine voice stated coolly.

"Indeed. And the Pharaoh and his friends are somewhere in our lord's castle. All I need is his Millienium Puzzle and I will still join forces with you fellow evildoers in taking over the universe." A man said with a gold ring with the center of it being a pyramid with an eye spoke with an evil tone of voice.

Then, Death, the Grim Reaper appeared in the center. "It would appear that Alucard is growing an army, making the object of capturing the girl a difficult challenge. Not to worry, I already sent in another brainwashed hero of the light to confront them."

"Ah, the Vance child, eh Death?" The feminine voice asked amused.

"Yes. If she somehow fails, Werbellia, I want you to send your three useless lackeys to take care of them and bring the girl to us." Death nodded.

(With Alucard's party)

The gang arrived back at where Alucard, Bridget and Tsubasa first met Jean, Alice and Maron, the Alchemy Laboratory. Yukki whistled at the fine but evil machinery and commented with "If they weren't used for evil, Princess Biscotti would love this."

"Is she your ruler, Miss Panettone?" Sanae asked with a small smile.

"You can say she's the ruler of our kingdom. A well loved one to boot. I just hope she's okay." Yukki sighed, feeling a bit homesick. Futaba looked at Yukki's large chest with a frown.

"Um… Miss Panettone?" Futaba muttered in disgust a little.

"Hmm? Yes, Futaba?" Yukki looked at Futaba with a kind smile.

"How… did you get such a large chest like that?" Futaba muttered with a depressed tone.

"I grew up with it, why?" Yukki raised an curious eyebrow.

"Oh, big sis Futaba is wishing she can have big breasts like you." Wakakba smiled cheerfully. Futaba glared and proceed to twist her ears in anger.

"DON'T SAY STUFF LIKE THAT!" Futaba roared in fury.

"I-I'm sorry, sis!" Wakaba wailed. The party except for Alucard sweat dropped that display.

Suddenly, Nowa then noticed someone in the center of the lab.

She is a young busty female adult with long blond hair tied up in two braids with rings at the end and blue eyes. She is almost exclusively adorned in armor with a distinct breastplate that gives her protection and immunity to certain demonic attacks. On her right arms and neck is a series of long brown straps wrapped around her that dangle about freely. For added protection, she carries a full-arm armored gauntlet on her left arm with a buckler mounted on it.

Nowa gasped in happiness and awe. "Reina! It's you!" She rushed up to her to greet her, Rem however narrowed her eyes at Reina. Reina's eyes showed bright red.

Rem gasped "Nowa, look out!"

"Eh?" Nowa turned to face Rem with a confused expression, but she noticed Reina slashing at her and she has to bend down and do a backflip to avoid her slashes. "R-Reina?! What are you doing?!"

"Hey you stupid busty noble! What's with you?!" Ymir snarled. "Is that anyway to greet old friends like that?"

"Wait…" Bridget could see the dark aura around Reina as she approach them menacingly. "She's possessed. We got to knock her out to save her."

"Everyone…" Yukki stepped forward with a determined look. "Leave that, to me!" She got out her short sword and dashed quickly towards Reina, clashing blades with her.

"S-She's fast!" Inuyasha gawked.

"Her speed rivals Koga…" Kagome murmured in astonishment.

"Yeah…" Shippo slurred as he blushed.

Reina let out battle cries as she clashed blades with Yukki, Yukki saw an opening when Reina have missed slashing her and used her palm to knock Reina back. With a snarl, Reina charged at Yukki did a horizontal slash at Yukki, but the fox human did a backflip and threw shuriken at her, Reina blocked them with her blade shield, she slashed at Yukki who has to side stepped out of the way.

"Man, she's tough!" Yukki murmured as she did a leg sweep on Reina, knocking her to the ground, Reina got back up and used her shield to knock Yukki back, Yukki leaped up and threw more shuriken at the possessed Reina who blocked the. However, Yukki charged at her and punched her in the chest, making her skid across the room.

With a snarl, Reina lashed energy waves at Yukki who has to do some gravity defying stuff and charged full speed at Reina, punching her five times and kicking her in the stomach, sending her flying up.

Yukki smirked as she leaped up and pounds Reina to the ground, before throwing some ice bombs at Reina's arms and legs as soon as the possessed warrior was slammed into the floor.

Reina made snarling sounds as she struggled to get free. The party and Yukki surrounded her.

Jean looked at Yukki with a concern expression. "Can you save her, Yukki-chan?"

Yukki gave him a thumbs up. "Of course. Dracula's evil may be powerful, but possessed people is what I always do best." Yukki did some hand symbols while chanting "Evil spirit, evil spirit, be gone from this world. Leave this poor innocent soul and unshackle her from your evil bonds!" Reina screamed in agony as Bridget sees the evil spirit possessing Reina being destroyed by Yukki's chanting and exorcism. Reina let out a exhausted sigh as she slipped into unconsciousness.

Yukki sighed before wiping some sweat from her forehead with a smile, saying "It's done. That evil spirit won't trouble Reina anymore. For now, we let her rest."
