"Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like the terrifying super ghoul and the lovely Demona were just getting warmed up! Now it looks like the real fight is about to go down! But we all know that in the end it will be Demona who emerges victorious!"

"We'll see about that." said Tsukune.

"You should know Tsukune… I was made from the five women who desire you more than anything else in the world… So it's only logical that I want you five times as much as anyone else… and nothing will stop me from making you mine…"

"Once again… Just shut up and fight."

"Okay… You wanna play hardball?"

Demona raised one hand in the air; suddenly there was a giant ball of ice there.

"I'll play hardball."

Demona threw ice ball at Tsukune; he didn't try to dodge it at all, he just stood his ground, punched it, and the ball shattered, but before the fragments hit the ground Demona was right there in Tsukune's face.

"Hello."

Demona kicked him in the chest, sending him flying to the edge of the ring.

"I hope I didn't hurt you too bad my dear Tsuki."

Tsukune started laughing and rose up.

"Is that all you've got?"

"I can't believe how much Tsukune has changed…"

"I know Yukari." said Moka "It's like he just became a man."

"My man you mean." said Kurumu blushing.

"No way! He's my man!" said Mizore.

"Do you think you can win Tsukune with a physique like that? Sure you're better than Yukari, but you still can't hope to compare with me!"

"It never stops…" thought Moka.

"So far you've just been using Mizore's powers… got anything else?" asked Tsukune.

"You asked for it."

There was a bright flash of light, then there were about twenty Demonas circling around Tsukune.

"More ice dolls?"

"No Tsukune… I'm using Kurumu's power."

"Tsukune! Only one of them is real!" said Ruby.

"Yeah, but which one?" asked Yukari.

"Hmm… let's see… which one… which one… Oh what the heck? Why not all at once?"

The Demonas quickly advanced on Tsukune, who stretched out his arms and sent out a huge shockwave that struck them all. They all just disappeared, all except one, which was sent to the ground reeling in pain.

"Wow…" said Demona getting up "Tsukune… you are such a man. But I must ask, why didn't you just use your enhanced senses to find the real me?"

"Well… to be perfectly honest… I've got so much energy I don't know what to do with it."

"… I know what you can do with all that energy, and it's much more enjoyable than burning it off in a fight. Just surrender and I'll show you."

"That's not gonna happen."

"Why do you resist me Tsukune? I'm by far the best match for you. I am smarter, stronger, faster, more powerful, and more beautiful than all five of my sisters combined! And you can see that the entire school agrees with me."

"That may be true Demona, but unlike everyone else, I can see that your beauty is barbed."

"It matters not, you will be mine!"

Demona started to channel purple balls of energy from her hands and threw them at Tsukune, who was doing his best to either dodge or deflect them.

"Don't just dodge." he told himself "Get inside and attack."

Tsukune dodged Demona's barrage of attacks, got up close to her, and gave her an uppercut punch in the chin.

"OWWW!!! You broke my jaw!"

"No he didn't."

"Yes he did!"

"No, if he broke your jaw, you wouldn't be able to talk. And we wouldn't have to listen to all your ranting." said Moka.

"Err… Maybe I should finish what I started with you, sister!"

Before Demona could move, Tsukune was already standing in-between her and the others.

"Leave them alone Demona. Your fight is with me."

"Tsukune, protect me!" said Kurumu blushing.

"I don't want to fight you Tsukune, but if you continue to resist me, I will make you mine by force."

Demona rushed up and managed to kick Tsukune in the face, sending him flying towards the edge of the ring, but he sunk his claws into the ground, did a backflip and struck Demona with a kick of his own. Before she got too far she dissolved into mist and flew back into the center of the ring.

"Hmm… Being part vampire, Demona has enhanced senses… Maybe I can use that to my advantage."

Tsukune opened his mouth wide, took a deep breath, then suddenly…

"YYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!"

Tsukune let out a loud wail, no one saw it coming, Demona tried covering her ears, but it didn't help. Moka couldn't stand it either.

"MY HEAD IS SPLITTING!!!"

All at once Tsukune just stopped.

"Huh? He was winning, what went wrong?"

Tsukune fell to his knees clutching his throat. He was breathing very heavily, and Moka saw that he was sweating.

"Oh no… It's happening."

"Tsukune… What's wrong?" asked Demona.

"I'm… suddenly… very thirsty."

Demona looked down at her hand and saw that her skin was getting a lot paler, she also saw wrinkles.

"Me too… uh… Why don't we take a twenty minute break?"

Tsukune's response was a choked gasp.

"I'll take that as a yes."

Demona raised one hand in the air and sent a burst of energy up into the sky.

"Half time!" she said "We'll be back in twenty minutes, if you have to use the bathroom or get snacks, then do it now."

Without saying another word Demona flew off.

"Tsukune! Are you alright?!"

"Sure, it's like my throat is on fire, I've never felt better."

"What's wrong with him Moka?!"

"It's the thirst… no matter how much control they have over it, a super ghoul still needs to feed."

Tsukune's eyes turned red and his mouth became visible, he had rows of razor sharp teeth.

"Quick get him a blood pack!"

"Where are we supposed to get one?!"

"HOW SHOULD I KNOW?!"

"JUST SHUT UP AND GET HIM ONE BEFORE…"

"GGGGGGGYYYYYYYYYHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!"

"Don't move!"

Tsukune froze on the spot.

"Luckily he's just a hatchling and hasn't learned how to escape my spells yet." thought the Headmaster.

He took out a blood pack.

"I thought we might need a couple of these after you hatched."

When the Headmaster broke his spell Tsukune leapt at the blood pack and devoured it.

"Thanks… I needed that."

"Well… now that that's out of the way, we need to think of a way Tsukune can defeat Demona."

"Moka's right… I'm holding my own out there… But we can't do this forever… Now what do we know?"

"Demona has all our DNA, and as a result she is very powerful."

"So far she and Tsukune have fought to a stand still."

"The only problem is Tsukune doesn't have a lot of experience with his new powers, and if he pushes it too hard he'll get thirsty."

"Wait a minute… I just thought of something."

"What is it Tsukune?"

"If Demona has your DNA, and as a result has all your powers… maybe she also has your weaknesses."
