A Battle of Somewhat Epic Proportions

I would like to take a minute and be serious for once. I bring you this chapter in loving memory of Kahlua Shuzen. I wish her a speedy resurrection and recovery. And no, I will not accept her as being gone and buried. Thank you for listening.

Enjoy:

All hail the magnificent Gary! All hail magnificent Gary! All hail the magnificent Gary!

It wasn't that hard to say out loud, they didn't seem have a speech problem and they didn't look retarded in the slightest. So why the hell weren't they saying that simple phrase over and over again like they should have been? This was really starting to irritate Gary. It could have been excused that they didn't start groveling from the get go seeing as how he had just arrived but he had been here for almost a full hour and nothing had happened.

This bit was confounding him to no end. Where had he gone... Oh, what was that word? It started with a w or something like that... Wrong! There, that's it: Where had he gone wrong? Wait, that sounded too weird. His name and wrong in the same sentence just didn't sound coherent for some reason. It was most probably the Cosmos' way of indicating that he wasn't looking at this from the right angle.

Let's be serious about this. The only way he could possibly be wrong was if he willed himself to be wrong. That's it! He willed himself to fail. He was intentionally sabotaging himself. But why would he be trying to halt progress? It didn't quite make sense just yet. Of course, he was attempting to teach himself a lesson. Now, what knowledge was he trying to impart? To overcome adversity? To never give up? To remember to zip up his fly?

After checking to see if it was indeed that last question that would teach him something, he went about roaming the school grounds. He had to figure it out, Tsukune's well being hanged in the balance. Maybe he had been sent out here for something else. But then what could it possibly be? Just as Gary continued to ponder that question, somewhere past the fourth dimension, some self obsessed writer was trying to write himself out of a plot hole he had thrown himself into.

He had just run out of ideas and made his own story completely incoherent by trying to put fourth his own OC. This was bad, if he no longer updated, people would forget about his OC, that couldn't happen. So the question remained how could he make Gary Stu last a little longer? The canon characters seemed hell bent on getting him out of the picture. How could I... I mean he... find a way out of this mess? It was at that moment that an epiphany struck him. Some might call it divine inspiration, while others might consider it to be a hellish idea born of the same evil spirit that inspired Twilight. In any case, he had his idea.

He was about to try something daring that he had never considered before, forcing Gary to face adversity. He returned to slavishly typing on his computer while a maniacal and evil laugh resounded in his parent's basement. This was going to get interesting, or so the loser... Ahem... I meant, creative writer thought.

Meanwhile, back at the halls of Yokai Academy, yes because he does move around a lot when he's on a soul searching quest, Gary kept walking around aimlessly, examining the meaning of life which somehow was supposed to be linked to his predicament. After sensing a strange aura, he halted and scanned the surroundings. Sure enough, there stood the one responsible for the distortion in the air.

She was, for a lack of a better description, the exact replica of Gary with the minor exception of being female. This friendly figure made her way over to where Gary stood with his mouth agape. How? How could there be someone so completely perfect looking here of all places? Yes, he really did have that much of an ego and it really did show at this point.

The figure halted and smiled her biggest smile at Gary before she introduced herself. "Hi, my name's Mary Sue, and I'm here to fix all the world's problems and possibly get Tsukune and Gin to fall in love with me." Gary had to do a double take at the stranger named Mary. He could not believe what he was hearing at this point.

She wanted a male harem? Here? On his territory? What's worse was that she wasn't even marveling at how perfect he was. What was going on here? Why the hell wasn't he the center of attention? No, instead he was being replaced by Tsukune and Gin of all people. This could not stand. If people kept talking about Tsukune like that, there was no doubt his delusions would only grow from here on out. He had to put an end to this, he had to eliminate this vile and evil being before she plunged this fair, yet misguided, Academy into darkness.

As for Mary Sue, her train of thought was surprisingly similar to his. Hence, both had arrived at the same conclusion: The other had to die in order for the Academy to be saved from further drifting onto the wrong path.

Both simultaneously removed their seals, revealing their true nature as being a mix between every monster specie in existence and human for some odd reason. They both struck each other blow after blow, causing the students to assemble around them and watch the fight. They kept going at it as Tsukune and the gang arrived to see what was going on. Upon seeing this, both Moka and Tsukune sighed while the others simply looked bored. Another one of them showed up, and they didn't even have the decency to eliminate the last one before she arrived.

So they stood by and watched the fight unfold with a very small bit of interest. To be fair, they had nothing else to do and this pretty much was better than going back to the dorms and staring up at the ceiling. As for class, it was canceled for some reason today... And don't ask me why, please don't further expose these plot holes.

It kept going on, and on, and on... After a while, people started dispersing out of boredom. Why bother? Those two weren't nearly as impressive as the newspaper club when they fought. Besides, what they were doing was against school rules, it wasn't cool to go against school rules. Eventually, even Tsukune and the rest realized this was going to drag out indefinitely.

So he did the only thing he could do: He got into position, ran and threw a punch into the melee while still in his human form. The resulting blow blew Mary Sue right through the wall and propelled her into the atmosphere where she promptly died due to lack of oxygen, intense heat and radiation. It seemed that the writer had given up on the Mary Sue project mere seconds after she was created. At least she would never know the pain of being rejected.

Gary gawked at Tsukune, he had been able to defeat such a strong opponent while remaining in his human form? It seemed the delusions were reshaping reality into a chaotic melding of unrealistic abilities and paper thin explanations. He had to put back the world into its proper order or there would be terrible consequences for everyone.

As for Tsukune, he mouthed off a silent prayer and walked off, the only thing these handle can't handle is rejection. She wanted to draw in Tsukune and make him her boy toy, all he had to do was show her she was not going to succeed and she would die in a dramatic fashion provided that moronic writer who created her was willing to give up on her. One of these days, he would have to have a long talk with whomever was pumping these guys out of the factory.

Before he could go any further, Gary had materialized before him and pointed a finger right at the group before declaring in a commanding voice. "I challenge the strongest of you to a fight." He had finally figured out a way to get back on top of the game. Immediately thereafter, all eyes turned to Moka's rosario. Man, she was going to be pissed if they woke her up for such a trivial matter.
