Ultrabross's Vision
CHP 15: Moka Vs Morrigan
Ichigo walked beside Tsukune with a soccer ball in hand. By looking at him he could tell Ichigo was in deep thought, "Oh yeah I've been meaning to ask something. It actually falls in line with your club."
"Go right ahead whatsup?"
"I heard just this morning your squad received its first loss yesterday. What was it a five or six game win streak you were on, must have stung huh?"
"Only happened cause it was the first time we didn't play as a team. A lot of guys being selfish trying to take the spotlight for themselves. Not to mention a couple injuries we suffered the game before. We'll be all right though, coach chewed us out pretty good." It was the end of the day, both exiting out the front doors, "Gotta go to practice but maybe I'll see you later. Don't hold your breath though, after practice I've got a lot of studying to do." That and track hollows, but he'd never say it out loud.
"How things in Newspaper Club?"
"Pretty good, we should have the latest installment complete in the next couple days," Tsukune scratched at his hair heading the opposite direction to Ichigo, "I'll come to your next game whenever that is."
Ichigo only nodded disappearing into the crowed of students.

Hours passed bringing up the late evening. Tsukune walked beside Kurumu enjoying the evening breeze. For her it was good to have some alone time with just them shocked he agreed to do so in the first place. Both lost track of time surveying a full moon with not a single cloud. She felt tired but with him around provided all the energy needed. Kurumu sighed leaning her head against his shoulder wrapping both arms over one of his. She half expected him to pull away and when he didn't made her feel warm, "This is nice isn't it Tsukune." She asked watching the wind blow his hair back.
"Yeah I guess so." He smiled looking her in the face.
They walked inside the forest area showing little life, and though the realm of Yokai maintained the same weather year round someone would think it was autumn by looking around. The texture and tone of trees had a tedious, depressing feel to them. They knew it was dark but wanted to spend more time outside, "It's getting late," Kurumu fiddled with her fingers thinking up the right words, "Whatever shall we do."
She smirked seductively running a couple fingers over his chest and tie. Tsukune nervously giggled pulling away, "Come on Kurumu Chan quit messing around like that." She moved out in front of him pulling at his tie. Their faces came within a few inches of each other, "Let's get serious. I promise not to tell anyone if you want to." She closed her eyes bringing her lips to his having them go ice cold. Before she knew it Kurumu's head was completely covered in ice.
"Mizore Chan!" Tsukune shouted.
"What do you think you're doing?! Between you and Moka I'm not sure which of you is worse." Mizore grumbled creating ice blades from her hands. Not wanting things to escalate Tsukune jumped in front of the ice user, "Calm down Mizore Chan, nothing was going to happen." He assured.
She sucked on her lollipop for a couple seconds extending and sharpening her blades, "This is between she and I, stay out of this!" Kurumu shattered the ice off her head extending her finger nails into blades. Still between them Tsukune felt a drop of sweat run down the side of his head. The two looked serious and ready to attack, yet he couldn't bring himself to let a fight pursue when he was the cause.
"A bit late to be out and about dontcha think?" A female voice spoke. Though Kurumu was familiar with the tone, Tsukune was the only one positive who it belonged to. The wind blew dead leafs across the way out over the trees. Not even a second later she stepped from behind a tree slowly walking toward him, "Nagirrom Sensei!" Tsukune mumbled clutching his fists. What in the world would she be doing out in the woods?! Tsukune didn't have the answer and didn't look forward to finding out.
"Ah…who's this again?" Mizore twirled the lollipop around in her mouth, "I've seen her in the halls but never knew her name."
"It's Katsura Nagirrom Sensei! She teaches advanced mystery arts." Tsukune said with evident distaste.
She prolonged with moving forward stopping a few yards short of them, "This is perfect," She smiled throwing her hair back, "Such a pity your little screams won't be heard all the way out here; makes my job a lot less difficult and more fun." The licking of her lips triggered Mizore to raise an eye brow. She didn't know the woman, and yet threatened to beat her down.
"I'm goanna turn her into an icicle." Mizore said openly.
Tsukune quickly jumped in front of his friend, "Mizore she's a teacher at the academy, you shouldn't say things like that," Tsukune put on a forged smile trying to take away from the tension. He then gazed at Nagirrom, "Besides you didn't mean any of that did you miss Katsura?" More sweat ran down the side of his head. He wanted things to be peaceful between them having a feeling his instructor was someone they didn't want to battle against. After how she so easily manipulated Gin he could only imagine what her true monster form might be capable of.
"Actually I was being serious."
Tsukune felt sick to his stomach unsure what to do or say. They had been unaware of it but she'd been keeping a close eye on their group for the last couple weeks. It was especially after school hours she got to observing them from afar, "So which of you would like to go first?" She moved a strand of green hair from her face. She stared at them for an extended period making a decision, "Non challengers or in this case weakling goes first!"
Unforeseen to them all Nagirrom's foot connected with Tsukune's lower jaw sending him soaring into the air colliding with a tree. The collision knocked him out cold falling face first motionless over the grass, "Ooopps did I do that hehe? Guess I hit him too hard…oh well who'd like to go next?"
Not even a second after the question Kurumu's fist came within an inch of her face, and Mizore's leg from the other side. Acrobatically dodging she flipped out of the way landing away from them, "Why the hell did you do that TO TSUKUNE!" Mizore demanded.
"Tell yah what, defeat me in battle and I'll tell you anything you want."
"Mizore Chan you check on Tsukune, I'll hold her off in the meantime." Kurumu told not sure if she'd be able to defeat the enemy on her own. Instead of listening Mizore went straight after Nagirrom firing off ice blades. She dodged most seizing hold of a couple throwing back at the caster. Kurumu quickly joined unleashing a pair of wings and tail darting straight at Nagirrom. Her finger nails were also a lot longer and sharper. She scratched and clawed but nothing she did seemed to connect, "Just as I thought she's a succubus." Nagirrom thought silently.
Mizore froze at her feet which Nagirrom easily broke free from kicking Kurumu to the ground in the process, "Let's go at her all at once, it might give us a better shot." Kurumu looked over at Mizore.
"Right!"
They had put in a decent amount of time training alongside each other previous to their battle with Fairy Tail. For over five minutes they went back and forth with the enemy and were the only ones sustaining damage. Nagirrom looked as though she didn't even have a scratch.
Somewhat breathing hard Kurumu flew over the top whilst Mizore dashed straight at her. She saw through their idea jumping and knocking Kurumu down out of mid air. Before she made contact with the ground Nagirrom grabbed Kurumu by the hair heaving her into Mizore, "Playing with the two of you is fun, but lacks real competition. Honestly though I'm beginning to grow bored. If you're holding back now would be the time to show what you've got; your current level is pitiful." She laughed.
In that moment both had their doubts they'd be able to defeat her. It was no secret her current manner wasn't her true form. Kurumu slowly stood shaking off all pain, "No matter how hopeless we must continue this fight. For what she did to Tsukune is unforgiveable!" Seeing the will in Kurumu's eyes raised Mizore's fighting spirit, providing strength she didn't know she had, "For a succubi she is a bit disappointing and has a lot to learn; honestly expected more from this one…oh well!" Nagirrom thought.
She charged forward taking them down in a single roundhouse kick. Kurumu bled from her nose and mouth whereas Mizore received a bruise just below her left eye, "Inspire yourselves with talk all you want, such petty things will never result in a victory over a fighter way out of your league." Tightening her fists Nagirrom threw out a punch intended for Mizore but had it grabbed from behind, "Hhhmm now who would have the strength to stop my arm?" She chuckled becoming interested as she revolved around.
"Tsk…Tsukune." Kurumu whispered.
Nagirrom had no idea where his new found strength came from and didn't care! The excitement of facing a powerful being was all that mattered, "Let me guess," She twisted a piece of her hair using a finger, "You're a vampire." She assumed looking into his now blood shaded eyes. Only Kurumu and Mizore were aware Tsukune released the first lock/seal on the holy lock. Pulling back firmly with a good hold over her wrist Tsukune punched her twenty feet the other way. Mizore and Kurumu couldn't believe their eyes. They had been unable to do much against her and in a single punch Tsukune sent her soaring.
"Mizore Chan, Kurumu Chan," Tsukune spoke without looking at either, "Get out of here, I'll handle this on my own. I don't want either of you getting hurt." He walked toward Nagirrom both arms dropped by his sides.
"Tsukune don't do this we should fight her together!" Kurumu shouted being held back by Mizore from doing anything more.
While continuing to walk he partially looked over his shoulder, "I promise I'll win, it is my turn to do the hard work…please don't interfere." No matter how many times, the eyes of a vampire seemed to always send chills up her back. Either it be Tsukune or inner Moka didn't matter. Kurumu took a deep breath no longer fighting Mizore's hold.
"I hate having to stand down just as much as you, but if that's what Tsukune wants than we shouldn't question him," Mizore took her hands off Kurumu, "Tsukune inflicted more damage on her in a single punch than we've done the entire time. However if it looks like he's in trouble or needs our help I won't hesitate to jump in."
Kurumu felt the same way, not liking one bit Tsukune faced off against her alone. Nagirrom pushed off the ground rubbing at her jaw with an expression of pleasure and thrill, "Lucky hit Aono…it isn't very nice to hit your instructor. I shall remember this when it comes time to put in grades." She snickered.
"What's so funny, did I miss a joke?" He asked in a solemn tone.
"Why all serious, come now I thought vampires thirst for battle was beyond any other. Then again I guess your selfish pride can hide it sometimes." His expression and stance didn't change, causing her to pout. He'd come to a stop just in front of her, "You're really no fun. You plan to kick my ass Aono Kun?" She turned slapping at her own butt smirking. Her actions did nothing until the wind lifted her skirt giving Tsukune a great view of her panties. He tried hard not to pay it any attention but the man inside him didn't allow for it. He bled from his nose having no control.
"You dirty little boy, not so tough now are yah?!" She giggled running toward him, "Now let's put that vampire strength of yours to the test." She punched at him several times over and unlike Kurumu and Mizore he dodged each strike with relative ease, "Fascinating, not only did his strength increase but his speed as well. Still not enough I'm afraid." She picked up speed connecting with a knee to his stomach, forcing him back into a tree.
"TSUKUNE!" Kurumu yelled.
She was just about ready to jump in but held herself back. Tsukune pushed off the tree throwing his green jacket to the ground. He followed up by taking off at Nagirrom. Once close enough he punched into the ground using the youjutsu Bakuryuujin! Unfortunately she eluded the attack by simply leaping into the air, coming down over the top. Thanks to his vampire reaction speed and senses he grabbed hold of her foot tossing Nagirrom onto the ground. She quickly flipped up as the two engaged in close combat.
Mizore and Kurumu watched helplessly hoping Tsukune would be victorious. He matched her blow for blow for a little while, but soon realized she outclassed him in combat, speed, strength and durability. Things soon became one sided as Tsukune found himself falling back in retreat. The punishment he took brought about blood from his nose falling to his knees coughing and spitting blood.
"All done Aono? Ready to call it quits, though I don't think I can let you li…"
"Tsukune!" A voice called from the distance.
He looked over his shoulder only to have his eyes widen, "Moka San…" He mumbled wiping blood from his mouth, "Moka San get out of here!" He yelled.
Just like he knew she would Moka didn't listen to a word he said, instead continuing toward him. Nagirrom smirked, "The main player has finally arrived." She thought. It wasn't long before she was knelt down beside Tsukune noticing the change in his eyes. The first lock no doubt had been broken, "You're the woman from the other night, what did you do to Tsukune?!" She demanded.
"Remove that Rosario from around your neck and show me your true form. Do that and I will harm your friends no more."
"What for?" She asked putting an arm around Tsukune
"Simply a challenge. I want to test my abilities against a worthy opponent. If you don't do it, well," Nagirrom stepped forward kicking Tsukune into the air twenty feet the other way, "Well then I'll kill all your friends. Sound suffice enough Akashiya? Good now be a good girl and remove that ridiculous seal."
"Moka San don't listen to her," Tsukune mustered all his strength standing, "I'm going to defeat her on my own."
Moka looked back at him and could see the determination in his face, "Boy do yourself and everyone a favor and step down before you end up dead. You were barely able to keep up with me using under two percent of my strength. Embarrassment is the only thing you'd receive if you continue fighting against me." Nagirrom then looked down at Moka who didn't appear interested in going through with her command.
"Whenever you're ready to cooperate just let me know," Nagirrom punched Moka across the way touching down near Tsukune, "While you make up your mind I'll just have some fun killing your friends in the meantime." She looked to Mizore and Kurumu, "I never got around to finishing the appetizer anyway."
Alert and ready to stand their ground Kurumu and Mizore got into fighting stances ready to defend themselves. Giving into the woman's demand was sickening but the way things were going they'd soon be dead if Inner Moka weren't to awaken. Nagirrom was up on them in less time than predicted hammering away like it was nothing. Kurumu fell unconscious with a strike to the back of her head, Mizore nonetheless stayed on her feet doing whatever she could not to fall.
"Enough, your fight is with me now!" A voice shouted from her backside.
Nagirrom spun around noticing the Rosario in the hands of Tsukune, and in front of him stood Moka with the same red eyes, a bit larger in size and silver hair. Nagirrom licked her lips having no more interest in Mizore. She cracked her knuckles approaching the vampire, "That sure was quick, maybe things will start to get a lot more interesting."
"Moka San," Tsukune pulled at her skirt, "You don't have to fight alone; she's pretty tough and likely holding back. If we take her on together we should have a…" He stood only to have a finger come into contact with his lips.
"What she wants is a one on one fight with me and I intend to grant it. No worries Tsukune," She rubbed a hand over the side of his face seeing the anxiety in his eyes, "You know there is no one around that can beat me, especially not this loser." Her remark brought a smile to his face, "If things get out of control don't expect me to sit back." He replied.
She removed her hand off his face patting him over the shoulder, "Enough of this lovey dove stuff! Get over here and give me your all Moka Akashiya!"
The vampire wasted no time scurrying at Nagirrom. While in close Moka dodged all her kicks and punches displaying even greater speed and precision than Tsukune. Being a born natural vampire gave her advancements over Tsukune; obtaining his abilities through the transfer of her blood to his body made him an unnatural. Moka caught Nagirrom's fist tossing her upward followed by a punch to the cheek. Before her body could go anywhere Moka grabbed hold of her ankle pulling Nagirrom back down and head butting her.
"Know your place!" She shouted with a signature kick to Nagirrom's jaw conveying her the other way. Tumbling over and over she smashed through a tree which cracked in half. She soon came to a stop with absolutely no signs of movement coming from her body, "Just when I thought she…"
The vampire stopped speaking at the sound of laughter. Nagirrom rose from the ground dusting off, "Nice one Akashiya Chan. So nice I'm goanna let you see something no one else has."
Tsukune didn't like the sound of that immediately becoming tense. Unlike him Moka was curious to see what Nagirrom had in mind, "This is where the real fight starts, but I really should warn you. Attack and take me down now because after I go through this change you have positively no chance of winning." She waited a couple moments to see if Moka would take the opportunity and attack but didn't, "You sealed your fate missy." Nagirrom smirked.
Mizore stood beside a tree observing everything with anticipation. Nagirrom threw her head up looking to the sky, arms held above and legs crossed. Soon after bats appeared from the sky surrounding her entire body!
"No this can't be…is she really a va, vampire!" Tsukune's heart pounded like crazy.
Moka on the other hand maintained her posture ready for anything Nagirrom threw at her. Anxiously waiting for the bats to retreat Moka tapped a foot over the surface, "No way!" Mizore's eyes broadened setting eyes on the transformed Nagirrom. Without even asking she knew exactly what she was, gazing down at her KO'd classmate, "She's a succubus like Kurumu Chan!" The thought of it was creepy. Still in the same position Nagirrom slowly lowered her head focusing on Moka. Her energy signal increased greatly but Moka had a hard time figuring by how much.
Different from before she wore a pair of black boots, black leotard with trimmed white feathers, purple nylons with bat patterns and bat-like wings on her back and top of her head, "Makes sense how Katsura Nagirrom Sensei was able to take control of Gin Senpai's mind now." Tsukune said. She laughed amused, "What's so funny?"
Tsukune frowned looking at her closely, "The name Nagirrom Katsura was nothing more than a fake. I used it to get work here in the academy. Believe what you will but I'm the ruler of Makai a kingdom far from here. My name is Morrigan Aensland, an S class warrior and succubi. The other name was a cover up and nothing more."
"The race of succubi isn't considered S class," Moka moved a strand of silver hair off her face, "Your knowledge of ranking lacks."
"Maybe not around these parts, but I can assure you that I am. Enough talk. It is time we get your quick defeat over with."
Morrigan gave Moka no time blitzing her through the air. Bypassing the vampire her wings took on the form of blades slicing and cutting open the area around Moka's left rib. Blood splattered outward, some staining Tsukune's clothing. Moka fell forward grasping the wounded area. He didn't care whether or not she wanted him to stay back. Tsukune went after Morrigan, "Think you're slick Aono Kun?" He was taken off guard by her catching his fist. Her back faced him as he timed his attack upon her touching down.
Flying him over thirty feet in the air she knocked him out in a single punch, tossing his body to the turf. Due to accelerated healing Moka's wound completely closed, "Tsukune," She murmured. Enraged to see her beloved in such a state she ran to his side, and was grabbed by her neck from behind, "Your lover can wait. We're in the middle of a fight!" She pulled back using enough force to put Moka through a small boulder.
Moka Stayed down waiting and listening to Morrigan's footsteps, "This can't seriously be the limit to the all mighty Akashiya Mo…"
The vampire knew she was only a foot or so away, taking advantage by popping up with another of her signature kick. This time Morrigan's left wing blocked the attack. What scared Moka was not that her attack got blocked, but rather it didn't budge the succubus. From that point on she didn't land a single hit. Morrigan beat her senseless finishing with a powerful strike to the head. Conveniently Moka's body fell over the top of Tsukune, "The two of them deserve each other. Completely pathetic."
Never once did she lose sight of Mizore through the whole ordeal, "I could take you out as well, but that would be a waste of time. I shall spare your friends for now, as it wasn't part of the plan." She stared at the Ice user, "We shall see each other again I'm sure of it."
With that Morrigan flew off into the night sky. Plan? What did she mean by plan? Mizore didn't think too much into it. Mizore first went to Kurumu, trying to revive her, "I predicted more, the battle against her was a kick to the face as far as my expectations. They were set too high, guess I shouldn't assume much from my next target. But I guess we'll see. Won't we…Ichigo Kurosaki."
