"Next…" said Demona.

"Me!" exclaimed Kurumu.

"Very well, let's begin."

"There is no way my Kurumu will mess things up like the others did."

Kurumu stepped into the ring.

"Do you honestly think you can defeat me little succubus?" asked Demona "After what I did to the others?"

"I don't care if you're the devil's bounty hunter! I will never let you have my Tsukune!"

"Very bold of you to claim that Tsukune is yours… You may have picked Tsukune as your destined one… but did it ever occur to you that you could never win him without using your charms?"

"Ha… Pot this is kettle… come in."

"Whatever… Now if we're done insulting each other, let's get on with our real fight."

"Ladies and gentlemen, Demona's fourth challenger is Kurumu Kurono, the third prettiest girl on campus!"

"Third?!"

"Ever since our lovely Demona arrived, that makes you third."

"Oh great… it was bad enough being beaten by Moka… but this is insulting!"

Gin struck the gong, at that moment Kurumu's wings sprouted and she jumped into the air.

"What are you doing up there?"

"Staying away from you… Being up here gives me the advantage!"

Kurumu came down and attempted to slash Demona with her talons, but Demona dodged the attack.

"Drat… I forgot she's part vampire… and I forgot how fast vampires are... But as formidable as vampires are... they're still not invincible."

"I'd ask you if you were going to throw in the towel, but I already know you'd never give up Tsukune... just like the others."

"You're right, Tsukune will be mine!"

"I wonder if she still remembers that we agreed this tournament doesn't mean anything." said Yukari.

"How do you like these odds?"

Suddenly it looked like there were four Kurumus.

"What the?! Did she just duplicate herself?!"

"No." said Ruby "It's just an illusion, only one of them is real."

"That's right, I've been practicing."

"That's my daughter!"

Demona only laughed.

"I can beat you with my eyes closed."

"This is for Tsukune!"

All four of the Kurumus went flying at Demona, but Demona kicked one hard in the gut sending her flying out of the ring, after that the others just disappeared.

"The challengers just can't seem to stay in the ring today! Demona is the winner!"

"So... What did you say about your daughter taking my daughter's Tsukune?" asked Mizore's mom.

"No way... How did you know?"

"Simple... Only one of you gave off a smell."

"Moka... It's all up to you... Don't let her... take Tsukune."

"Over my dead body..."

"My plan exactly..." said Demona.

As Moka entered the ring she noticed that storm clouds had started to converge above.

"That's odd... The weather report didn't say anything about rain." said Mizore.

"I better make this fight quick, before a down poor starts."

"Ladies and gentlemen it's time for the final match to begin! Demona vs. Moka Akashiya! The winner will get to take home Tsukune! One for the money... two for the show... three to get love... and here we go!"

Gin struck the gong, but much to everyone's surprise, neither Moka nor Demona moved, they just stood there looking as if their minds were thousands of miles away.

"Uh... Moka... Demona... Your fight has begun..."

"Uh... girls... is it getting colder out here, or is it just me?" asked Yukari.

"It's not just you..." said Mizore.

Moka and Demona just stared at each other for a few more moments. As they did they sky started to get darker and darker.

"I feel... a disturbance... in the force." said Demona.

"Oh my gosh, she did not just say that..."

"I really need to end this fight quickly now."

Without another word Moka was off.

Moka charged at Demona and kicked her in the face sending her flying. Towrds the edge of the ring.

"She's out!"

But at that instant Demona dissolved into mist and flew right back to where she had originally been standing.

"I'm sorry, but did you think you had defeated me?"

"Not at all... especially not after how easy you defeated the others."

"The others take you for granted Moka... They just don't get it... They don't realize that in the end it will be you, because it's always been you ever since the beginning... You're the only reason Tsukune decided t to stay at this school... You're the reason he's finally given up his humanity... which is why unlike all the others... I can't let you live."

Demona flew at Moka and started throwing punches and kicks like crazy. Moka was doing her best to block them and seemed to be holding her own, but the others knew she couldn't keep this up forever. Then suddenly…

"AGGHHH!!!"

Demona had punched Moka hard on the right side of her face, Moka staggered a few steps back with her hand on the spot she had been hit.

"First blood is mine."

Moka looked at her hand, sure enough there was blood trickling down from the side of her head.

"That's it… no one… but no one makes me taste my own blood. NO ONE!"

Moka started to attack viciously, but Demona dodged all of her kicks.

"Oh no… She's dizzy from that blow to the head!"

"This is bad."

Next Demona launched several ice daggers, Moka thought she had dodged all of them, but then she felt a sharp pain digging into her shoulder and across the right side of stomach.

"That's gotta hurt… Well I say that like I'm guessing… I know it hurts… and it only gets worse!"

Demona lunged at Moka, who was doing her best to hold her own, but her injuries were taking their toll.

"Moka…"

Moka could swear she heard Tsukune's voice, he was still in his chrysalis, but it still pushed Moka's buttons.

"Tsukune… I can't give up… If our positions were reversed… he'd do the same for me."

"Uh-oh! It looks bad for Moka! But then again we shouldn't be surprised, no one can take the beautiful Demona!"

"When this is over, remind me to kill him." said Kurumu.

"I'll join you." said Mizore.

Demona continued to wail on Moka, as she did the others felt a strong wind building up, then there was a rumble of thunder, and a crash of lighting.

"MOKA!"

"ONEE-SAMMA!"

Moka had fallen to the ground, her injuries had been too much for her, and Demona just continued to beat the hell out of her.

"Get away from my onee-samma!"

Kokoa came running out of the stands and attempted to attack Demona herself, but she dissolved into mist and Kokoa went righty through her.

"Sorry, but outside help is against the rules…"

Demona changed back and threw Kokoa face first into the ground.

"Tsu… ku… ne… I'm sorry."

Demona stood over Moka's broken and battered body. All the others were two scared to move.

"And now… Moka Akashiya… you will die."

Demona raised her hand and created a sharp sword made of ice, she raised it ready to strike… then suddenly…

BOOOOOOMM!!!

"What the heck?!"

All at once lightening started to rain down from the sky like crazy, the wind roared as if it were alive and in pain, the earth shook as if a stampede of wild animals was on it's way.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING?! WHAT IS THIS!?!"

From the floor of the ring, Moka looked in the direction of the school, so did Ruby. There was a bright blue light shooting up into the sky.

"Gasp… It's happening you guys!!!"

"You mean?!"

"Yes!!!"

BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOM!!!

The wind was so strong it knocked Demona of her feet, she just barely avoided landing outside the ring by digging her talons into the floor. The earth continued to shake and lightening split the sky for about ten minutes, and just like that all was still and eerily quiet.

"What was that?!" exclaimed Gin.

"GGGGGGGYYYYYYYYYHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!"

"Never mind that! What was that!?!" exclaimed Demona.
