Disclaimer: I don't own R+V in any way shape or form…nah I can't think of anything witty for now so I'll just say: Flamers beware because Karma Charger is always watching…along with Karma Infected Squad!…maybe not Jockey or Hunter…or Spitter, Boomer, or Witch since nobody put them on the internet but oh well the others make up for him and yes there was Karma Tank and Karma Smoker…once *Angry Maniacal laughter, hissing, gurgling, and growling* excuse me for a moment *Grabs baseball bat to fight off angry "Karma" Jockey, Hunter, Spitter, and Boomer*
A/N: *Dumps unconscious "Karma" Jockey, Spitter and Hunter into dumpster after beating them up since Boomer already blew up, pulls a grenade pin, dumps the grenade into the dumpster too and locks the dumpster which blows up 3 seconds later* Okay yes this chapter might be a bit disappointing considering how long all of you had to wait but well…I got 1 vote…1 VOTE! Jeez people I gave you 2 weeks to vote on how my next chapters for this event would be…man and now all my updates are gonna be relatively slow because of school. Don't say I didn't mention the poll because it was on my profile and the day after I posted the last chapter I updated the chapter to mention it. Anyway the one vote I got was apparently: A couple short chapters with cliffhanger endings until the PSC event is over and so that's what I'm gonna do
PS: Yeah the next few chapters will feature the current event and just a heads-up: some of them might stretch the T-rating a bit with violence and cursing but I'll try to keep it T-rated since in all technicalities they said this stuff anyway
PPS: Somebody asked me for a Wayne chapter…well…I suppose that'll be in one of the next ones but unlike the others they won't be that well "special" although you may understand his skills and his personality a bit more if you pay attention
PPPS: The next chapters after this might take a while…sorry about the long hiatus for this one anyway but well hey come on school started and weekdays AND weekends are intense because of athletics…oh whatever forget it and just read
PPPPS: Don't complain about the PSC k? I mean really guys honestly who cares how much they are compared to them in the anime/manga I'm just trying to be a bit creative dang it and besides Gin himself said they were a military so no complaining about that kapeesh? You can complain about other things but don't flame
PPPPPPS: Lot of PS's I know and also a long chapter which took me some time I know when I promised a quick and short chapter…sorry but I just had to put it in and my next chapter might take a while too
PPPPPS (Back to the little L4D/L4D2 "skit" I made because I was bored): *Angry feminine Shrieking* I think I just pissed off the "Karma Witch" *"Karma" Witch charges with claws out* Yep I did *Grabs Diamond-edged MS 880 STIHL Magnum chainsaw, revs it, and charges at the witch*
Review responses:
Tsukoa Fan: Where do I get the inspiration…I really don't know, if you mean the story: another fanfiction which I think I mentioned before, if material: I put stuff from the anime and manga in and I think of things that I personally think could have gone better
classified: Well people asked me for some before so eh…although oh well I'll cut a bit on that
Kenji455: Eh well after this chapter things might surprise you because most of my chapters have had some basis but either the next one or one after that will be based almost completely on my own imagination
randomguy123: Okay no mean to insult you but…could you please well…make points as individual lines? Yeah no offence but whew it can be a bit confusing to read. Anyway well you choose if you think an organization that's like the WW2 Germany's SS mixed with the KKK is a good thing because I didn't put that in for no reason. Another guy asked me for a Wayne chapter and I can't really think of much for him besides fighting considering how much he talks so…yeah…you can see where this is going….but snap man you just guessed on a part of my future plot: PSC's relation with Fairy Tale dang man but yeah you'll see what's up later. Anyway yeah I know who ZVATTO is and yeah the jacket thing was from him (But changed a bit since it's not a rag and it's actually a usable parka eh) and eyepiece well…honestly his eyepiece was pretty cosmetic but yeah I guess you could say it's a bit like that in appearance but Wayne prefers to use his right eye instead not his left eye. Oh and also: That was the point for Mizore…but people really thought it ruined her character so I dropped it…
Random Spetsnaz Guy: *sigh* don't use online translators man I know it's you…by the way what do waffles, French toast, pancakes, and nachos have to do with the fic? (To all others: Yeah I took Russian as a foreign language in school and the guy screwed up a bit on conjugation heheheh especially when he addressed himself as a plural instead of a singular so FAIL and he also said "you" wrong and did the casual "you" instead of the more polite "you" which is socially required unless you already know the guy you're addressing and since he DID I know it's my friend in real life trying to be funny)
someoneimportant: Well my friend it's a wee bit too late for that…looks like you were the only one who voted…yeah…but thanks for trying anyway
dbzgtfan2004: Eh well in my personal opinion my first few chapters weren't all that good but whatever I'll keep going
The PSC Strikes Back
In a bunker deep underground hundreds of feet below what appeared to merely be a traditional, but still large, Japanese Pagoda temple Ishigami Hitomi had arrived and announced to the PSC's highest ranking officers of a possible way to destroy their target: The Newspaper Club
The bunker could change shape at will by concentrating a bit of energy which only Kuyou could control while the rest of the Public Safety Commission's base was essentially some living areas and armories but with a security room as well monitoring just about everything. Most of the PSC's forces were mercenaries, the lowest of the low, criminals looking for somewhere to stay with death charges in the human world and so all those who were monsters were invited as mercenaries in the PSC which most gladly accepted bringing along stolen military ordinance as well. Under all of this a a whole area about half a kilometer high and with 5 kilometer by 3 kilometer length and width was a dedicated relaxation area simulating a sunny outdoor lush valley with waterfalls, rivers, a beach to a large freshwater lake, all made for the purpose of helping those stuck inside due to their crimes to relax and have a good time and with the land area doubling for trained, carnivorous animals the PSC kept for some operations and the large square 3-kilometer lake, with 1x3 kilometer dimensions, also housed some ferocious animals but aquatic with all animals not bothering any of the PSC members or mercenary troopers. Under this enjoyable area however were the dismal prison areas holding students branded "violators" some for short times but most for several weeks or months without seeing any sunlight and in turn they also became so dangerous that guards armed with the stolen weapons had to occasionally take them down. The only decent area was the bunker which could be changed by Kuyou at will from a nice clean meeting room to a torture chamber…
After Ishigami's sudden arrival and her sudden announcement that Tsukune Aono was human Kuyou and the leaders of the PSC stood still for a moment
"Human?", asked one of the officers, "Did you say there was a human in the academy?"
"Hmph nonsense", responded Kuyou firmly, "The academy is exclusive to super-natural being only. Any human that knows of it's existence is to be killed immediately! It's impossible for him to have slipped in!"
Ishigami raised an eyebrow at Kuyou's firmness
"I, Kuyou, am the very name of justice in this academy and I protect the peace as the head of the academy's military and justice system", declared Kuyou, "And I cannot believe the nonsense spouted from the likes of you", he finished while turning away
The other officers agreed
"Don't you want to see the destruction of the newspaper club which has been defying the Public Safety Commission?", asked Ishigami
Kuyou turned his head slightly over his shoulder
"Yes but we need absolute evidence not some ridiculous claim", he responded although secretly he was wondering if Ishigami was correct
"But if he really is human what do you plan to do?", continued Ishigami holding up several photos of Tsukune still staying human and not transformed while his friends transformed to fight against other monsters while simultaneously guarding him, "According to the law it wouldn't matter if he were killed would it?"
Kuyou's eyebrow twitched. He hated when his own words were quoted against him but this was in fact starting to interest him
"Right along with his friends in the newspaper club right?", asked Ishigami, "The very newspaper club who is now gathering evidence against the Public Safety Commission to make a case in their next front-page article?"
Nobody said anything for a minute
"Sir what if she's right?", asked one of the officers
"What about we monitor this guy for a few days and see what happens?", suggested another
Kuyou thought about it. If Ishigami was right then they'd have a valid pretense to destroy the newspaper club…permanently
"Alright let's see just what happens now…"
Meanwhile in the newspaper clubhouse…
"YOU FRIGGEN STUPID IDIOTS!", Gin bellowed at the other members of the newspaper club, "You're telling me that first you started something with these guys and then you beat one of them up?"
"…yes", said Wayne indifferently after about 10 seconds of silence
Gin face palmed
"Didn't I say you'd be in big trouble if you messed with those guys?", demanded Gin while pounding on his chalk diagram of the PSC he just wrote on the blackboard, "The PSC is a violent gang formed right at the center of the world's monster population made internationally. They're rotten all the way to the core with Kuyou at the top AND even their average trooper has at least 3 death sentences in the human world AND if rumors are true they're even supported by outside gangs! Translation: They're a bunch of hardcore badasses!"
"Watch your language", said Mizore after removing her hands from Yukari's ears so she wouldn't hear
Gin walked up to Tsukune furiously. Since Tsukune had been heavily injured and bandaged plus there was also a rumor of Tsukune being incredibly strong Gin assumed that Tsukune had been the one to defeat Keito
"WHAT AM I GOING TO DO IF YOU START BEATING UP THEIR OFFICERS YOU MORON?", he shouted in Tsukune's face
"…Actually it was Moka who beat up Keito in the first place", said Kurumu frankly, "In an instant…"
Tsukune slumped over and gripped his shoulder
"Owww…", groaned Tsukune
"Hey you okay?", asked Gin concerned
"Didn't you just yell in his face angrily about 2 seconds ago?", asked Wayne
"I got injured in that fight pretty badly", explained Tsukune while Yukari pulled out her wand
"I closed it with magic I concocted but it's so bad it'll probably take stitches", added Yukari while stirring another healing salve
"That bad?", asked Gin
"He was this close to being sliced cleanly in half", said Wayne holding his fingers about half an inch apart, "Literally…about this much muscle and skin is holding him together", he added while taking Yukari's salve and adding some extra ingredients, "So you may want to chill out with yelling in his face"
Moka stared at the floor remembering it was technically her fault all along that Tsukune had been so badly injured
"Try this", suggested Wayne while handing Tsukune some of the new salve
Tsukune rubbed it on his wound and immediately felt better as the wounds closed although the scar stayed
"I'm sorry you got such a horrible wound for protecting me", apologized Moka after Tsukune 's wounds healed and he replaced his shirt
"Oh no it's okay", reassured Tsukune
"He did that for me even though as a human he's naturally a lot weaker than us monsters…", thought Moka while stepping up close to Tsukune…very close…
"Thank you Tsukune I…", began Moka while putting her arms on Tsukune's shoulders completely forgetting the others were still in the room
"Oh no I know how this is gonna turn out", sighed Wayne
"You can't let your guard down", said Kurumu abruptly ending Moka's moment with Tsukune by shoving her away
"Yep…", said Wayne in a bored tone
"Tsukune are you okay?", asked Kurumu in an overly treacly voice
"Kurumu…"
"Don't worry I'll be by your side 24/7 nursing you back to health all by myself", said Kurumu once again smothering Tsukune in her breasts
"You might want to stop that", said Mizore dangerously while growing out her ice claws and stepping over to Kurumu, "If that's your version of nursing him back to health I'd say you're doing more harm than good", she growled while pushing Kurumu off of Tsukune
Gin slammed right into Tsukune, Kurumu, and Mizore and knocked them all apart
"Goddammit would you stop?", shouted Gin angrily while grabbing Tsukune by his collar, "Look your little 'war' is the least of our concerns right now I mean now that we've essentially declared war against the Public Safety Commission and we have to prove to them we won't fight!"
"But…we were planning on proving their corruption through the newspaper!", protested Yukari
"Yeah well you can't…wait WHAT?", shouted Gin, "NO! You ABSOLUTELY can NOT-"
Wayne barreled into Gin while holding his armored right hand in front of him, rammed Gin against the wall, dropped him, picked him back up, and bashed him into the ground knocking him unconscious
"Payback for clubbing my scar with the dang basin", grumbled Wayne while shrinking his arm back to normal size
The others stared
"Was that necessary?", asked Tsukune while Wayne sprinted to the infirmary and back dropping Gin off
"Actually yes", replied Wayne dusting off his hands casually, "First of all that really hurt when he bashed my scar, and second it takes a lot to knock out a werewolf for a few hours considering how tough they are"
Nobody said anything
"Anyway we decided we'd expose the corruption of the PSC publicly so let's get to it", said Wayne tossing everyone a camera, "Remember: After each picture make sure to relocate or chances are you'll be caught and only take pictures of them committing a cruel act"
"Meet back here in 2 hours", said Tsukune, "We're going to keep this up until we get enough evidence so make it count! The sooner we're done with this the sooner we can expose them!"
"Right!", agreed everyone as they filed out of the door although Wayne stayed behind
Wayne yawned
"Alright but it'll you'd better watch it", said Wayne quietly after everyone left and walking slowly out himself
What Wayne and Moka knew that the others didn't was that Tsukune was human. A Human on campus would be big trouble in the eyes of virtually everyone in the school and the PSC could exploit that
"If you're gonna take down a military", he sighed, "You're gonna need to prepare for a fight"
Later…
About 20 PSC troopers, wearing the standard PSC "cloak", protective helmets covering their heads and the back of their heads, ballistic armor over their chests and joints, and with a various assortment of assault weapons were led by a tall boy with short, slightly frilled dirty blond hair with highly reflective glasses walked up to the 6 members of the wrestling club who were standing by a wall right outside the gym
"Hey Morons!", barked the "lieutenant" abruptly ending the wrestler's conversation
"Yeah?", asked the team captain thinking it was some other people trying to pick a fight, "What do you want you little punk-OH SHIT!"
"What's the .GOD!", said another
The rest of the team looked up to see 20 PSC troopers in their traditional black coats each armed with an assortment of automatic rifles, machetes, knives, shotguns, and other weapons, which combined together would take down almost any monster but the strongest, all pointed at them
The captain slowly walked nervously towards the PSC team leader
"W-what is it", asked the captain nervously
"I think you know", said the lieutenant calmly
The lieutenant used his demonic powers to brutally punch the wrestling captain square in the jaw with enough force to knock him flying back to the rest of his team, and break his jaw causing him to bleed on the sergeant's hand but not enough to knock him unconscious
"Our tribute", said the lieutenant calmly while pulling a handkerchief from his pocket
The captain panted slightly and began to try to speak with his broken jaw
"P-please give us some more time", panted the captain sounding quite distorted due to his broken jaw
"That was different from what we discussed", said the lieutenant with the same calm tone as before while cleaning his bloody hand with the handkerchief, "The tribute should have been paid yesterday", he continued as he finished
"That was because we bought new training equipment instead…", said the captain realizing the gravity of what he just said too late
The lieutenant raised his right hand
"B-but we'll definitely pay! We promise!"
Another trooper walked up next to the lieutenant
"Orders?", he asked the lieutenant
"Don't kill them", replied the lieutenant
The wrestling team sighed with relief
"But at the very least break a few bones and cause some bleeding, we want them to pay but not die and remember the consequences", finished the lieutenant, "All in all, just make sure they feel pain. LOTS of pain"
The troopers grinned. They just LOVED causing pain
"Nonononono!"
The troopers then began to brutally stomp on the wrestling team with their heavy boots with metal cleats attached drawing blood and easily breaking bones then held onto the broken bones and let them heal in the wrong positions
Meanwhile behind a tree Yukari had just taken a quick photo of the PSC's brutality just now and, though she felt bad she couldn't help, she felt a cold comfort that soon these kinds of acts would end
Meanwhile…
Up on the roof Saizou Komiya and two of his friends one with red hair about Saizou's length and the other with a blond Mohawk, were relaxing and, in general, just slacking off
"This is really boring", yawned Saizou casually
"Well let's just slack off like this then", suggested the red-haired one
"I agree totally", agreed the third
"Alright! Let's completely forget about school and just chill!", cheered Saizou
The others enthusiastically agreed
Unknown to them a team of 20 PSC troopers led by the infamous Lieutenant Deshiko Deshi known for her extreme precision and lethality
(A/N: Deshiko Deshi=She's the "ninja/monk" girl in the PSC for those who didn't see the anime because she showed up in both but they never gave her a name in the manga. If you don't get it she's the red-head with the staff, long skirt, and with her eyes closed most of the time? She didn't show up much but she was that girl with the staff in the PSC's manga debut you know with the 7 people including Kuyou? Yeah that picture in chapter 8 I believe of season 1…)
"Students who are not serious will be punished in the name of justice!", cried out Deshiko
The trio turned to see Deshiko Deshi leading 20 PSC troopers also armed to the teeth
"The Public Safety Commission!", all three shouted at the same time
"Run for it!", shouted Saizou to the others and the three attempted to run but realized they were surrounded
"You know what to do", yawned Deshiko turning away
"Yes ma'am", replied one of the troopers
Each of the 20 troopers grinned evilly
"DAMMIT!", shouted Saizou
"Shut up", said a trooper slamming the butt of his rifle into Saizou's jaw
Meanwhile on the water tower Kurumu was taking pictures of the troopers brutally pummel the hapless trio and also knew not to get involved, only gather the evidence
Meanwhile…
The swim team captain, Tamao Ichinose, took a quick look around to make sure no one was nearby to spy on her and her 3 teammates, who opted to practice today, in their little bikini swimsuits before she climbed out of the pool. After the run-in with vampire Moka months ago they'd each suffered several broken bones and had to postpone practice to recover. After recovering their muscles had weakened from the lack of exercise and so now they were all determined to work out more intensely than usual to get back into shape and so far it was working
(A/N: (Don't have to read if you already know about swimming as a sport or whatever) For the people who apparently fail at biology (No offense to the people who do) and also to lash out at the people who don't think swimming is athletic or "hard" let me tell you=Swimming is an INTENSE sport that uses almost all muscles in the body just as much as any other sport so translation: It's not easy and just like with any other athletic activity: Long periods of not practicing leads to muscle cramps, muscle pulling, and yadda yadda yadda…No complaining about this A/N either because hey you guys technically chose whether or not to read it)
"Alright we're clear", Tamao sighed as she climbed out
"Are you sure?", asked one of the swimmers
"Yeah what about the PSC or that creepy, agile, peeping tom?", asked another
"Yeah! The PSC's been stepping up in their activities since they just busted the newspaper club!"
"Relax", said Tamao to the others, "If the peeping tom is there we've got him because we're in the water", she assured referring to mermaids' natural advantage in water, "And as for the PSC, don't worry we've collected enough cash to pay the tribute"
"I hope so", sighed another as they all climbed out
"Good", said a male voice behind them, "So since you've got enough cash this time I suppose there's no need to cut you a few times and dump you back in the pool with some Aumakua sharks is there?"
(A/N: Aumakua's are technically spirits but they can take the form of animals including sharks so for simplicity's sake I put shark at the end of it to clarify and also just imagine a bigger version of a Great White Shark or Megalodon (Yes Megalodons DID exist and were in fact pretty much larger cousins of Great Whites). Oh and by the way: Unlike real sharks that usually don't attack anything with too many bones like humans (Or in this case mermaids in human form (Don't pay attention to JAWS or some other shark movies that feature people getting eaten by sharks because honestly a shark can do that but if a shark DID eat a human whole they'd have some serious indigestion and possibly some internal bleeding from the bones since human those are pretty tough so sharks usually don't bother trying to eat humans)) Aumakua's eat pretty much anything and are attracted to the scent of blood aka bloodlust…yep…and if someone injures them they will just get angry and go berserk on whoever injured them)
The 4 swimmers turned to see 20 PSC troopers, led by a bulky 7-foot 2 man, surrounding them, then looked in the pool to see a 35-foot Aumakua shark swimming slowly around in deep end of the relatively large 50x25x5 meter area which was the pool
"How did you get that thing in there?", gasped one of the swimmers
"Aumakua sharks are able to go to pretty much any body of water at will and these are trained to follow our directions", replied the apparent sergeant cracking his knuckles casually, "So are you going to do?"
"Think we can take that thing?", asked one of the swimmers nervously glancing at the pool
The others shook their heads an Aumakua shark's huge mouth was able to eat any of them in a single bite, filled with razor-sharp teeth and capable of inflicting at least 3 metric tons of bite force or more that single bite would easily tear them to shreds and if it didn't all that thing would have to do is just open up and close a few more times until all that was left was a bloody froth
Tamao sighed, walked up to her jacket on one of the chairs, and handed the sergeant an envelope of money which the sergeant flipped through slowly
"Alright that'll work", he said placing the envelope in his coat pocket, "We're done here so move on people!", he called out waving his hand and as soon as he did the troopers walked out and the Aumakua shark phased out of the pool and back to the PSC's large freshwater reservoir
Meanwhile Tsukune and Moka had been watching the whole thing and had taken multiple pictures of the PSC's tribute-taking and their aggressive way of enforcing that policy
"Got it", whispered Tsukune
Meanwhile…
"PLEASE don't", begged the computer science club leader
Just like any other shakedown, the PSC came with 20 armed troopers with an imposing leader to take money
"This stuff is expensive", whistled the sergeant referring to the expensive laptops used by the computer science club, "Did you by any chance use OUR tribute for THESE?"
The leader gulped
"Yes…but we were trying to make some software that could benefit the school!"
"Hmm…", mumbled the sergeant, "What exactly were you planning?"
The leader was about to answer when the sergeant interrupted
"Actually to be honest I don't give a crap", he said as his hand turned to stone and promptly crushed the laptop leaving the rest of the computer science team in shock, "Alright you haven't paid your tribute several times in a row and each excuse was to make software beneficial to the school…"
"But it really was going to until you smashed it!", shouted the computer science team leader as he grabbed the collar of the sergeant
"You just signed your death warrant by attempting to attack me", said the sergeant smugly while throwing the leader to the ground
"Say wha-"
"Fire", said the sergeant calmly
At his word the troopers fired their rifles at the club members on the ground fully automatic, the bullets used were different for each weapon due to some troopers' weapon preference but all of them did the same job to easily rip through the hapless computer science club
"What fools", the sergeant sighed, "Alright boys burn the bodies"
While the troopers torched the remains with flamethrowers and Molotov cocktails the sergeant began writing some letters to the families of the now-deceased club members placing completely fictitious accounts of their deaths by school quarrels gone serious
Meanwhile Wayne had taken pictures of the whole thing
"Jeez that's harsh", whispered Wayne, "Then again these guys aren't even students. They're mercenaries"
Later…
"Nice job", complimented Wayne after seeing all the photos stockpiled on the table
"It's just as the rumors say", said Moka, "They really do whatever they want"
"Yeah well we need more than this", said Wayne
"We need evidence from the victims themselves", agreed Tsukune
"But even if we do that they probably won't help", said Yukari, "The PSC controls by fear and they may fear them more than they trust us"
Tsukune frowned
"But at this rate we can only make a half-completed article", said Tsukune, "We need informants"
"And so I've already found one", said Mizore sticking her head out from under the table and shocking just about everyone but Wayne
"What was that?", shouted Tsukune in shock
"Why were you under there?", asked Moka a bit calmer
Mizore shrugged
"Sorry it's a habit", she apologized
"Anyway what did you find out?", asked Moka
"An informant", Mizore said calmly getting just about everyone's attention, "A club that can't pay tribute and is about to crumble"
"Who?", asked Moka
Wayne chuckled slightly
"What?", asked Kurumu
"Well the two of us already knew that pictures wouldn't be enough so I suggested a club to Mizore to follow", replied Wayne
"What club?", asked Moka
Wayne grinned
"You wouldn't believe it", said Mizore still in her normal monotone while Wayne started cracking up
"The Moka fan club", laughed Wayne, "There's three of them, 1 average guy with short red hair: Kozo Kasahara who's a karakasa, 1 tall skinny guy with glasses and long brown hair: Kubisaku Nagai who's rokurokubi, and another short fat guy with spiky blond hair: Bozaburo Taira who's a noppera-bo and they all take pictures of you when you don't notice and they well…pretty much worship you and drool over pictures of you"
(A/N: For those who didn't watch the anime: They really did exist and they really were creepy stalkers…creepier than the old Mizore…WAAAAAY creepier and if you're curious as to what monsters they are just copy and paste what I just wrote)
The others stared at Wayne
"Yep and their uniforms are basically pink versions of the school uniform with heart designs"
"Oh god", groaned Kurumu
"Yeah and they also used to worship the two of you", said Wayne pointing out Kurumu and Yukari
"Say WHAT?", shouted Kurumu
"Yeah apparently they did pretty much the same thing for you two for a while but they backed off because apparently Yukari: You creeped them out when you grew up real quick into a 16 year old girl and Kurumu: You scared them to death when you beat up Nagare with the eh…tree thing", explained Wayne
Kurumu and Yukari stared
"I thought that as a 16 year old I got everyone to love me…", mumbled Yukari
"Yeah well apparently they preferred the young you better…yeah…they're pretty pedophilic", explained Wayne, "And Kurumu they apparently thought you were growing up because they liked the way you looked but when you apparently matured mentally um…they freaked out"
"Say what?", asked Kurumu
"They started worshipping Moka because they think she's cute but a naïve little child since the incident with Jyunya", continued Wayne
Moka turned beet red and slapped Wayne across his scar sending him flying across the room
(A/N: To those who didn't watch the anime: In the manga they had Outer Moka pretty wimpy but in the anime they made Outer Moka pretty strong but they took away her will to fight so she's still nice but she's not wimpy)
"ENOUGH OF THAT!"
"Whoa relax", said Wayne rubbing where he got hit
"How do you know all of this?", asked Tsukune
"Because they were in just about every suitor mob for the girls which I broke up and they had different uniforms so I checked what they were about and spotted them a few times taking pictures", explained Wayne, "They never expected a guy like me to notice and they sometimes transformed to fight off a few guys picking on them which they apparently failed to do and they sometimes morphed together into a Daidarabotchi to try and fight which they sometimes won as sometimes didn't"
(A/N: Again you'll probably want to copy and paste to find out what that monster is)
The others had nothing to say
"But the point is: They're an official club going down because they can't pay and thanks to Mizore's natural 'talent' we apparently got them to spill their guts
"Sort of", replied Mizore
"Hm? Sort of?", asked Wayne
"Let me keep going", replied Mizore, "Yeah I did speak to them…"
Flashback…
"Hey you guys will never believe it!", exclaimed the Bozaburo
"Yeah?", asked the others
Bozaburo proudly showed a picture of Moka standing triumphant over several defeated monsters
"NIIIIIICE", rolled the others
Suddenly a cool gust of wind appeared and caused them to shiver and look in the direction of the wind to see Mizore
"Who is she?", asked Bozaburo
"I don't know man she looks cute…", started Kubisaku
"But she really scares me at the same time", finished Kozo nervously
"Let's move", suggested Kubisaku which the others agreed to and promptly began to leave
After a few minutes the trio managed to get outside and were now underneath the open walkway connecting 2 buildings
"I think she's still following us…", gulped Kubisaku
"No kidding", agreed Bozaburo
"Hey!", called out Mizore causing all three of them to jump up and whirl around
"Y-yes?", asked Kozo nervously
All three looked around nervously but couldn't see Mizore when in fact she was just lying calmly on top of the walkway roof right above the trio
"Tell me about the Public Safety Commission", said Mizore calmly while scraping an ice claw along a piece of metal to scare the trio even more
"P-Public Safety Commission?", asked Kozo
"We don't know anything about them!", exclaimed Kubisaku
"Is that true?", asked Mizore at the same time as 7 ice clones to add even more fear
Mizore and her 7 ice clones jumped down from the walkway roof and landed in a loose circle around the trio
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!", shouted all three at the same time
"Because if that's not I think I'm quite capable of freezing you permanently", said Mizore with her ice clones while the walkway roof froze completely solid
After seeing just how capable Mizore was all three of them broke down
"Alright alright we'll tell you", said Kozo sweating nervously, "J-Just come by our clubroom here later today and we'll tell you all we know"
"Good", said Mizore thawing out the roof and shattering her ice clones, "But you'd better not be lying", she warned as she disappeared into the shadows
"Man she's scary", panted Kozo which the others immediately agreed to
What none of them knew was the PSC had anticipated the newspaper club might be trying to ask around some small-time poor clubs to be informants and had followed all of them. Now the "team" of troopers who had been stalking the Moka Fan Club, albeit more stealthily, had just witnessed
"Hey Sarge I think we've definitely got proof that they're gonna try to take us down", said one of the troopers into his radio while sending a video of Mizore's interrogation
"Hmm…I see…well time to make an example of those three bozos", said the sergeant after seeing the video before making a call to Kuyou, "Hey boss we've got 3 idiots who said they were gonna help the newspaper club do you want us to bring them here and interrogate them?"
"Yes. Do that", said Kuyou into the radio
Back in the Present…
"So that's what happened", finished Mizore
"Umm…", mumbled Tsukune not sure what to say
"That was very helpful Mizore", said Moka politely
"Thank you"
"Now that's smart", said Kurumu in approval
"Those guys might be good at stalking but they can't take the heat of being stalked…nice one", complimented Yukari
A few minutes later…
The newspaper club gathered around the door to the Moka fan club
"For the record you 3 might not want to see what's in there…", suggested Wayne to Moka, Kurumu, and Yukari
"Why? What could possibly be so bad?", asked Kurumu rhetorically
Tsukune opened the door and everyone looked inside
"Excuse me…", began Tsukune
"Sorry for intruding but-", began Moka
Moka and the others, except Wayne and Mizore, gasped in shock and nearly vomited as they saw that the whole room was filled with pictures, and statues of Moka, Kurumu, and Yukari with half of them in revealing outfits…including the pictures Nagare had taken of Kurumu and some pictures of Moka's underwear whenever she kicked
"That is what could possibly be so bad", said Wayne after everyone had seen what was in the room, "Hmm…apparently it looks like they kept the old pictures of you guys anyway", he said pointing out Kurumu and Yukari's pictures and statues
"That is just not right", moaned Yukari in disgust
"Well like I said they took a whole bunch of pictures of you guys", said Wayne casually
"Anything I can do for you guys?", asked a short, plump boy with glasses and wavy brown hair
One thing everyone noticed was that the 3 boys in the room right now were NOT the original three of the Moka Fan club. There was the one who addressed them, one with shoulder-length red hair who was playing with a Moka doll, and one with cropped-close brown hair all with glasses drooling over some copies of Nagare's pictures of Kurumu
"Do you know where the guys from the Moka Fan club are?", asked Tsukune while Moka, Kurumu, and Yukari hid behind him, Mizore stood to his right side, and Wayne stood by the doorway
"I've got a theory", mumbled Wayne as he walked outside
"Oh those guys were taken away by the Public Safety Commission and now we're just raiding their stuff", said the boy who'd first spoken
"HEY!", shouted the other 2
"Ah! Uh I mean I don't know anything about it!", said the first boy quickly
Moka, Kurumu, and Yukari jumped out from behind Tsukune and up into the trio's faces
"Wait a minute!", shouted Yukari
"The Public Safety Commission?", asked Moka
"What do you mean by that?", demanded Kurumu
"Just get out!", the 3 boys shouted pushing everyone out of the door except Wayne who was already outside, "This has nothing to do with us!", they shouted again as they slammed the door
"Hey Mizore did you check if there were any other people watching you interrogate those three?", asked Wayne
"No…since I usually get away with everything I didn't expect anyone to watch", replied Mizore
"Well…crap…", said Wayne, "I just hope the PSC was a bit more merciful than the guys I witnessed executed by firing squad earlier today and the guys I saw burned at the stake"
Meanwhile…
In the PSC's underground "base" and in the central bunker Kuyou was relaxing and meditating when one of the PSC lieutenants, who happened to be the one whom Yukari photographed leading a shakedown of the wresting team, walked up
"Excuse me sir", said the lieutenant opening and closing the door to the bunker
"What's the matter?", asked Kuyou looking up
"I've heard some interesting news form the low-breeds we brought back to question and silence"
"Interesting news?", asked Kuyou
"Remember Ishigami Hitomi's report?", asked the lieutenant
"So…those three have confirmed it?"
"Yes. Their species have some use and they, like Ishigami, claim to have smelled the difference", said the lieutenant
"Alright. We move in tomorrow", replied Kuyou, "Get your men ready and rested. You're going after him"
"Yes sir"
The next day…
Tsukune yawned as he walked slowly up to school. Last night he'd tried hard to sleep but he just couldn't with the excitement that they might take down the PSC and stop them from harming the school anymore and with his endless thinking of plans to gather more evidence
"Good Morning Tsukune!", called Moka from behind Tsukune, "What's wrong? You seem a bit sleepy", she said red-faced after noticing how tired Tsukune looked
"I was thinking about how we were going to take down the PSC and I just couldn't sleep", yawned Tsukune sleepily before shaking his head a bit to clear it
"Is that so?"
Tsukune nodded and looked up to the sky which Moka did with him
"The evidence we have now can't be written into an article that can expose their tyranny. Everyone in the school's experienced their ruthlessness but we can't post an article without concrete evidence or they'll just deny it and use it as an excuse to take us down", explained Tsukune
Moka smiled
"What is it?", asked Tsukune
"Well…since you came to this school I feel you've become much stronger and braver", explained Moka
"Really?", asked Tsukune
Moka and Tsukune once again entered their "pink haze" state…
"I feel kind of…Oh my this fragrance…", said Moka dreamily
"Could it be? Moka? Wasn't it like always?"
"Yes like always"
Tsukune and Moka moved their faces very close together when Tsukune noticed where Moka was aiming for and noticed her teeth grow out
"Oh no"
"HEY GET AWAY FROM HIM!", shouted a female voice
Right before Moka could take a bite Kurumu sprinted over, jumped up, and kicked Moka in the back with both feet which knocked Moka to the ground and left Tsukune quite shocked
"Dammit Moka it's going to be a busy day today and we can't have you drain what little energy Tsukune has right now!", shouted Kurumu angrily
Yukari danced over and hugged Tsukune's left arm
"Let's gather our energy and search for more evidence", she said dreamily
"I'll stalk those with information even harder", added Mizore dreamily hugging Tsukune's right arm with her and Yukari both trying to drag Tsukune over to themselves
"Wow…just wow…we've got a situation and you guys still fight over that?", asked Wayne catching up to the group and peeling Yukari and Mizore off of Tsukune, "That is what I call a bad habit…anyway we should honestly be trying a bit more than talking"
"Yeah, just thinking about it isn't enough we have to take action!", agreed Tsukune
Later…
Gin was on the roof once again taking picture of girls in his telescopic camera
"Heheheh I wonder who my prey will be this time?", he wondered aloud scanning the building until he paused and looked back
What Gin saw made him panic. Kuyou himself with some of his officers and a team of 20 heavily armed PSC troopers walked down a hallway…towards the other newspaper club members' classroom
"No way…"
Meanwhile…
Wayne was walking back from the building's front desk after dropping off a package Nekonome had asked him to drop off when he stopped and took cover behind a pillar. He saw the same thing Gin had seen. Kuyou, some officers, and 20 PSC troopers armed with Russian Kalashnikov 1947's, RPD's, German Sturmgewehr 1944's and UMP45's, and French SPAS-15's strapped to their backs along with some Desert Eagle Magnum side-arms and combat knives
"Jeez…I hope they aren't planning on using all that firepower in close range", thought Wayne as they opened the door to the classroom, "Looks like they just caught on…that's not good"
"And this is why this article's description is 'frightening'", Nekonome lectured to her class, "These descriptions…"
Suddenly the door slid open and the troopers sprinted around the edges of the classroom, scanned around the room with their various weapons, and then relaxed as the officers walked in each of the students immediately looking away from the troopers to the front of the classroom while the troopers continued to observe them
"The Public Safety Commission?", asked Moka
"Why are they here?", asked Kurumu
"I'm having a class right now but what's the matter?", asked Nekonome
"Don't worry this'll be quick", replied the lieutenant not even looking in Nekonome's direction
Kuyou himself also walked up to Tsukune which everyone took as a bad sign since Kuyou only came in person for very serious matters
"Tsukune Aono", Kuyou addressed flatly
"Yes?"
"You are charged with being a human and also assisting in the assault of lieutenant Keito"
Everyone in the classroom gasped and looked over
"SAY WHAT?", shouted several people at once
"No way that's not possible!", agreed some others
"Well…then again nobody's reported his true form…", mumbled a few who were immediately glared at
Thanks to the newspaper club's reputation for quickness and accuracy just about every member had become well known and respected. Tsukune included, now with Kuyou making such a bold statement in public people were starting to have mixed feelings
Tsukune slumped his head and sighed wondering if the seal Wayne had given to him would help him out now in any way
"Thus we the Public Safety Commission will take you in for questioning", finished Kuyou
"Hang on a second!", exclaimed Moka
"Yeah there's no way he could possibly be a human!", agreed Kurumu but a bit angrier, "Shut it with the lame excuses to take us down after last time!"
"If this is about last time let me say that it was YOU who started it!", pointed out Mizore firmly
"SILENCE!", shouted Kuyou
Immediately Moka, Kurumu, and Mizore froze sensing Kuyou's strong demonic aura and also took a short look at the troopers' armament
"Judging from the situation you guys may be accomplices too: Moka Akashiya, Kurumu Kurono, and Mizore Shirayuki, you are all to come for questioning as well", said Kuyou firmly nodding at the troopers who walked towards the 4
"Accomplices?", asked Kurumu, "Hey you guys were the ones who-"
"You assaulted one of our officers. That is already a crime", snapped Kuyou, "But that is not what you are being called for, you are being called for assisting a human plot whatever it is he plans to do in this academy likely to get this place destroyed from other humans!", added Kuyou spitting out the word "human"
Tsukune clenched his fists and teeth
"HOW? How was my cover blown?", panicked Tsukune
"Tsukune are you okay?", asked Kurumu concerned
"Don't worry this is just some dumb excuse to take us down. We know you better than they do, they don't know what they're talking about", reassured Mizore
"We'll be your witnesses", added Kurumu
Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu, and Mizore were handcuffed and led out of the room escorted by the PSC's personnel. Many students had crowded around to watch after seeing Kuyou march into the classroom and take out 4 students some watching from landings above and some on the ground floor
"E-Everyone just stay calm", said Nekonome, when her own class also got up to watch
"Don't tell me this guy is…", said some voices
"He's…", added some more
"Tsukune Aono!", finished some others
Now everyone watching recognized Tsukune and the others as members of the all-popular newspaper club who'd defied the PSC before and taken down their phony version of the newspaper club
"What about the other members of the newspaper club?", asked the sergeant, "Yukari Sendo from first year, Ginei Morioka from Second Year, and Wayne Galvan also from first year"
"Don't worry about the first years as for Gin…I haven't heard his name in quite a long time…", replied Kuyou
"Should we arrest him?"
"No. If he remembered last year he wouldn't try picking a fight", replied Kuyou
Behind the corner Yukari was clutching her wand and had a very angry expression on her face
"Now is the time to save everyone!", she declared about to cast a spell when 2 hands grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back
"Don't!", exclaimed Gin
"What?", asked Yukari turning around to see Gin and Wanye
"How do you plan on fighting them yourself?", asked Gin
"20 of them with guns, 1 of you with your wand in a close-range area. Not very good odds", mumbled Wayne
"Come on if we don't go then they'll…"
"You must endure it for now", scolded Gin
"Why? Gin with your speed and with Wayne's endurance and strength you 2 could easily take them down!", exclaimed Yukari
"Not sure about that…", mumbled Wayne, "Those officers are at least level-A monsters and I can't tell what Kuyou is since he's holding back, probably level-S and if Gin's not going after them I don't think we should especially since they can hit some bystanders and so can we", said Wayne peeking around the corner
"But we're going after them right?", asked Yukari
"You bet we are", agreed Wayne, "Whatever those guys are, if we sneak attack them we can-"
"Dammit no!", shouted Gin punching Wayne on his scar
"Would you stop doing that? It freaking hurts!", shouted Wayne rubbing where he got hit
"This is why I warned you guys in the first place!", Gin shouted back
All this seemed pretty awkward to see someone as tall and big as Wayne being pushed around and evenly matched by someone like Gin while Yukari stood nearby
"Gin together we're just as strong as them!", Yukari interrupted, "Why don't you want to fight?"
"Well…", began Gin
"She's right we can easily free them and together we can mop the floor with these clowns even if Kuyou is as strong as he seems", agreed Wayne
Gin first looked ready to snap back but instead hung his head and his eyes showed a lot of emotional pain
"Let's go to the clubhouse…We really can't fight", he said solemnly
"What happened?", asked Yukari while she and Wayne kept behind Gin
"I don't know…judging by his mood something bad must have happened or something…", suggested Wayne, "But knowing what the PSC's done so far to those who don't or can't obey them…those who defy them must be met with something even worse…"
Meanwhile…
Deep underground in the PSC's bunker…
Kuyou had changed the bunker into a seemingly empty room with Tsukune sitting in a chair, 2 guards with 1947 Kalashnikovs at the ready, and Kuyou standing a small distance away glaring at Tsukune and effectively intimidating him
"I'm not human for crying out loud!", Tsukune shouted defiantly
What he shouted left a bitter taste in his mouth at the outright lie and hypocrisy of his statement from what he had told Moka several months ago…
"That aside where did you take Moka, Kurumu, and Mizore?", Tsukune kept shouting, "Where did you take my friends?"
Kuyou stood in between 2 torches giving him an even more intimidating look but Tsukune's mere anger kept him from shirking
"Don't worry we haven't done anything to them…", said Kuyou smugly
Tsukune sighed slightly in relief
"…Yet", finished Kuyou quickly
Tsukune reverted back to his angry state and bolted up. Right as he did this however, one of the guards brought the butt of his rifle down on Tsukune's forehead and caused him to stumble a bit. The guards then used the opportunity to grab his shoulders and keep him immobile despite his struggling
"Calm down they're just being questioned like everyone else", replied Kuyou stepping a bit closer to Tsukune
Tsukune stopped struggling for a moment
"Everyone…else?", he asked
"Oh yes here's the recording of those we asked", said Kuyou waving his hand
At this signal a ball of flame appeared and then started projecting some sort of screen showing the people whom the PSC had questioned
Apparently the eyes of the interviewees were covered to try to cover their identities but Tsukune could still make out who they were
"Yeah I think I smelled something human in him", said Saizou Komiya in the recording, "And during the first week of school I beat him up a bunch but he never transformed to fight back"
"Aono? I remember he usually struggled to keep up during athletics…essentially like a human…", said Kotsubo Okuto on the recording as well, "And when he picked a fight with me he beat me up in the end, I'll give him that, but before he did…some of his blood got on me and it tasted and smelled…almost human…maybe a bit of variation but still…and he almost died before he managed to fight back"
"Yeah occasionally I smell something human", said Mizumo on the recording and apparently quite capable of conscious thought and no longer under Keito's hypnosis
"I've seen him and Moka about to kiss sometimes and they're usually interrupted but when they're not…she always kisses his neck and he screams out in pain…", said Jono on the recording also seeming capable of conscious thought
"Come to think of it…he always smells like that no matter what and he sometimes acts suspicious…not to mention that every time he gets into a fight he gets injured pretty badly, never transforms, and his friends have to save him…", said Oniyama on the recording matching the lack of hypnosis on Mizumo and Jono
"Now that you mention it…", said Tamao on the recording in deep thought, "He definitely seems to like Moka a lot and well…protective of his friends in general but whenever they're in a pinch…he never transforms to protect them and when he takes hits for the team he always goes down pretty quick…"
"Aono? He's got a scent which seemed very humanlike to me during our tutoring sessions", said Ririko on the recording, "And he lost his mind to my…ways…too quickly"
(A/N: Yes by "ways" Ririko is referring to the "shocking information into his brain directly" thing in case you forgot…FYI: I'm gonna do this a lit in the future…yeah…)
"You see no matter who we ask…", pointed out Kuyou pausing the recording at Ririko, "They all point to you being a human"
Tsukune said nothing and kept glaring
"Even your 'friends'", added Kuyou
The ball of flame cleared again and showed Kurumu this time without her eyes censored
"Do you really think Tsukune is not a human at all?", asked a male voice from off screen who was apparently behind the ball of flame's view
"Of course!", shouted Kurumu angrily
"Why are you so sure of that?", asked the voice again but this time more snidely
Kurumu paused for a moment
"Because…because humans can't attend this school!", she explained regaining her previous confidence
"So do you know what kind of monster Tsukune Aono is?", the voice asked once more this time with the interviewer clearly having some expression, likely some evil smile of triumph, that clearly bothered Kurumu
"That…", stammered Kurumu losing her previous confidence for good this time
"You've never seen it", said the voice more like a statement than a question, "Never right?", the voice asked after Kurumu didn't answer
"That…"
The screen then switched from Kurumu to Mizore who looked just as determined and defiant as Kurumu had been when her questioning first started
"Showing one's true form is prohibited by the school rules you so strictly 'enforce'", said Mizore defiantly slurring the word "enforce" to emphasize her apparent knowledge of the PSC's corruption and hypocrisy
"Exactly as you said", said Deshiko voice from outside the ball of flame's view
"Then Tsukune is actually abiding by the rules you so clearly break", growled Mizore
"I'll admit that's true as we definitely do our best to keep everyone in their human forms…", said Deshiko this time walking from the shadows to Mizore's right into the ball of flames' view and leaning into Mizore's face clearly irritating her, "But really, what's all this about not using your monster form to defend your friends in a pinch eh? You've seen it, he always takes hits for the team but he never transforms himself to protect himself to lessen the severity of the injury when honestly just about anything, even a little F-class outcast ayashi, could protect himself better than staying in human form"
"What are you implying?", growled Mizore angrily
"Oh nothing…", said Deshiko sarcastically, "Except that your little crush Tsukune Aono is either a total idiot trying to be a hero by putting himself in unnecessary risk, a timid coward who is really weak and ashamed of his monster form, Oooorrrr…"
"You're wrong…Tsukune…is…", stammered Mizore losing her confidence
The screen switched again, this time from Mizore to Moka
"I've already investigated", said a male voice from off-screen
The ball of flame then zoomed out to show the tall boy Moka and Tsukune had spotted shaking down the swim team for their money, It also revealed that instead of Moka just sitting on a stool like the other interviewees Moka was actually chained to a chair behind a desk instead
"You have always been sucking Tsukune's blood and vampires love human blood the absolute most", added the sergeant additionally explaining the reason for Moka's restraints, "So from that we deduce that Tsukune must be a human"
"That's not it! The reason I suck Tsukune's blood is because it's tasty…", she cried out not realizing what she'd just said before it was too late, "Not because he's human…", she added weakly
"Mmhmm riiiiiiiight", said the sergeant sarcastically, "The only blood that is tasty to vampires is human blood which also re-energizes them and we've also noticed that whenever you bite him he becomes exhausted while you become more energetic than usual"
The sergeant placed a cup of water on the table which Moka looked at fearfully
"I've also investigated that vampires are allergic to fresh water", the sergeant revealed
Moka gulped and tried to back away but to no avail
"Yep that's right", said the sergeant apparently enjoying Moka's anxiety and fear, "This cup contains fresh water right from the mountains with literally nothing else in it"
"No…"
"Oh yes…and if this measly little amount isn't enough I've got plenty in reserve", added the sergeant pulling a pair gallon milk bottle from the shadows also filled with fresh water
Meanwhile…
"NOOOOO MOKAAAAAA!", shouted Tsukune even though Moka clearly couldn't hear him and even if she could, she couldn't do anything with all those restraints
"At this rate your friends will be just like those guys", laughed Kuyou
"Over…where?", asked Tsukune
Kuyou snapped his fingers and right as he did a black box appeared from nowhere, opened, and revealed Kozo, Kubisaku and Bozaburo bound together and looking either dead or on the verge of it with multiple burns and bleeding gashes all over their bodies
"They also smelled you out and watched every fight", explained Kuyou, "Their exact words were: 'Tsukune Aono is as weak as any human, but no matter how badly he got beaten up he never transformed to fight back and instead attempted to negotiate or when negotiation was not possible, his comreades fought for him'", quoted Kuyou, "Despite how weak they really are they felt that even they could take you down one-on-one
(A/N: For those who don't know: in the anime they found out he was human differently when they actually tried to pick a fight with him because they were jealous of his popularity but I didn't write a chapter about that little event because it was pretty minor to the whole general plot so I had to change it to just them watching and not actually fighting)
"You'd better come clean", said Kuyou, "Unless you want Moka to end up like those guys over there
High pitched screaming filled the air and Tsukune knew that voice any time
"Moka!", he gasped looking around wildly trying to pinpoint the noise
Kuyou opened up the ball of flame again to reveal Moka's situation…one which Tsukune stared at in fear
In the room Moka was apparently locked in Moka was breathing heavily, utterly soaked with water, and surrounded with what appeared to be electricity while the sergeant held the cup of water with one hand and used the other to flick single water droplets at Moka each droplet causing Moka to surge with electricity and cry out in pain each time while the sergeant just laughed and kept flicking water
"Just above this floor we've got a wide open area with a beach and a large freshwater area which houses some of our beasts…", said Kuyou, "If this investigation takes too long we could test to see if she'd die from shock first, drown first, or get eaten first", suggested Kuyou
"Stop it!", shouted Tsukune leaping forward only to be tackled by the pair of troopers, "Damn it!"
Kuyou smashed his foot on the side of Tsukune's head and pinned him there then started grinding his foot causing Tsukune to grunt in pain
"What's wrong?", taunted Kuyou, "Isn't now the time to return to your true form?", he asked while his eyes took a sinister red glow, "That's right your monster form?"
Tsukune gritted his teeth and struggled to look Kuyou in the eye
"That way wouldn't you be able to beat off the people currently restraining you?", continued Kuyou
Tsukune gasped. He wasn't a born monster but even with the seal he could use Moka's "gift" to feel just how strong Kuyou really was
"Come on! Just this once please let me be a vampire to fight this guy!", Tsukune thought trying to will the seal to loosen or break
Unfortunately the seal wouldn't loosen or break since Tsukune's adrenaline wasn't causing a high enough heartbeat to convince his body he really was in a life-or-death situation which was the only time when the seal had temporarily broken before
"Even if you don't win, the suspicions of you being a human will be officially cleared and your friends will be released along with you all in good health", continued Kuyou
"Good health? Yeah right!", Tsukune mentally shouted while still trying to will the seal to break
"What's wrong Tsukune are you truly a human?", taunted Kuyou
All the while Moka had continued screaming in pain and Kuyou had kept grinding into Tsukune's skull while using his powers to make Tsukune feel as if Kuyou was actually in his head. All this time and Tsukune just couldn't take it
"Moka…this time it'll be good-bye for real", thought Tsukune
"Alright fine! I'm a human so hurry up and stop torturing Moka and let my friends go!", shouted Tsukune angrily and upon feeling Kuyou and the guards relax he pushed them off and stood up, "I'm human and that's it, you were right you goddamn sicko, I confess and you let them go that was the deal"
Kuyou laughed maniacally and the troopers phased out of the room
"Did you hear that everybody?", asked Kuyou snapping his fingers
Right as he did so 3 boxes similar to the one Kozo, Kubisaku and Bozaburo had come out of appeared behind Tsukune and when they opened they revealed Kurumu and Mizore looking at him in shock while Moka looked ashamed
"Tsukune…", said Moka sadly
"No way…Tsukune is…", began Kurumu
"Is that true?", asked Mizore
Tsukune didn't answer and looked around the room wondering just how everyone could appear form nowhere
"Lots of magic has been put into this place and as the head of the PSC I am allowed to control it", said Kuyou
As Kuyou finished his sentence, all of the PSC's officers phased into the room as well as 40 armed troopers all arranged in a loose circle around Tsukune, Moka, Kurumu, and Mizore leading to over 60 people surrounding the 4 of them
"This bunker can be many separate rooms or one giant hall", explained Kuyou, "That way many of us can appear from nowhere all around the base
"Tsukune it doesn't matter what happens to me, so why did you reveal that?", asked Moka who started crying slightly
"Moka?", asked Kurumu
"You knew?", asked Mizore
Moka nodded and more tears came
"Up until now we were able to conceal that fact…", explained Moka, "…only Wayne also knew it…but-"
Kurumu interrupted by promptly slapping Moka across the cheek
"You knew about this and you still hid it?", demanded Kurumu
"Wait Kurumu!", exclaimed Tsukune trying to reach over and calm Kurumu down, "This isn't Moka's fault!
"Stay away from me!", snapped Kurumu batting Tsukune away
"Fighting amongst yourselves?", observed Kuyou, "Well you'd been hiding your identity all along so they'd obviously feel pretty betrayed you have to admit that's expected"
"I never had any intentions from the start…", said a hurt Tsukune sadly
"Throw the ladies out", said Kuyou, "Except Moka Akashiya…"
Tsukune looked over confused
"Take her to the specially constructed cell", ordered Kuyou
"Hey this isn't what we agreed to!", shouted Tsukune
"She kept your identity a secret even when she knew the truth. That matches the severity of your own offence…human", explained Kuyou as if he were talking to a being lower than him
"No way…", stammered Tsukune
"Tsukune!", called out Moka
Tsukune turned to see 2 guards dragging Moka away with 2 additional guards walking along as insurance while Kurumu and Mizore walked unrestricted to the door Kuyou had constructed that would teleport them back to the main entrance not even looking back at Tsukune
"Let go! Let go!", shouted Moka still trying to struggle, "Tsukune!"
Kurumu and Mizore disappeared through one door which disappeared after they stepped through while the guards dragged Moka through another door that also disappeared
Tsukune fell to his knees in defeat. He'd tried so hard to fit in and now…all his efforts were scattered in the wind…He didn't know what was coming but he had a good idea…he just never expected his time would come so quickly
"Now members of the Public Safety Commission", began Kuyou raising his arms, "In the name of justice, please pass the verdict for Tsukune Aono"
"Guilty", started the lieutenant who apparently seemed to be Kuyou's right hand man
"Guilty", chimed Deshiko right after who seemed to be Kuyou's left hand man, or in this case woman
"Guilty", said all the other officers and troopers
"Guilty", finished Kuyou , "Tsukune Aono your sentence has been decided"
Tsukune turned around, he had a good idea what was coming but waited to see how it would be carried out
"Execution", explained Kuyou smiling evilly, "By publicly being burned at the stake awake until dead"
Meanwhile in the newspaper clubhouse/room…
Gin pounded his fist against the blackboard
"Dammit! That's why I said NOT to provoke the goddamn Public Safety Commission", shouted Gin angrily
Suddenly the door opened and Yukari, Gin, and Wayne looked up to see Kurumu and Mizore walk in
"Kurumu! Mizore!", cried Yukari happily
"Good! You 2 are alright!", exclaimed Gin
"That's great! What about Tsukune and Moka though?", asked Yukari
"Umm…", said Wayne noticing Kurumu and Mizore's downcast expressions, "Yukari? They look kinda…upset…"
"He's a human…", mumbled Kurumu under her breath
"Huh? I can't hear you could you speak up?", asked Yukari
"Tsukune…is a human", repeated Kurumu painfully
"Oh good for a second…wait what? But that can't be!", protested Yukari
"It's true", replied Mizore shocking Yukari, "He admitted it himself"
"What did you say?", asked Gin
"But Tsukune can't be a human!", protested Yukari
Kurumu and Mizore said nothing and Kurumu just walked up to Wayne and pointed her fingers at Wayne's face
"Uh…Kurumu what are you-", began Wayne
Kurumu answered Wayne's unspoken question by growing her nails and skewering right through Wayne's head, keeping it there for a few seconds, and then pulling back before just plain slapping him across the scar
"Owww…", groaned Wayne as all his bone and tissue grew back, "What was that for?"
"You and Moka knew about it…", growled Kurumu
Gin and Yukari gasped
"Now I know why Moka always tries to drink Tsukune's blood", said Kurumu
"Vampires love human blood and having him around is like ringing the dinner bell", grumbled Mizore
"Well…he seemed a bit too stupid to be a monster", said Gin though whether he meant it or was just trying to lighten the mood, nobody knew
"Come to think of it when we were in the human world Tsukune was absolutely the least nervous of all of us…he even seemed excited", added Yukari
"To be honest I feel a bit betrayed…I was really starting to like the guy", said Gin sadly
Mizore just walked out the door
"Mizore?", asked Yukari
"What…", began Wayne
"Smart choice", commented Gin, "I won't be coming for the club for a while, try to lay low for a bit", explained Gin, "You guys think about whether you should apologize or not to the Public Safety Commission, if not then you might want to hide for a bit until the issue is settled", suggested Gin while he walked out the door
"Think through…", began Yukari
Wayne said nothing and just stood waiting for Kurumu's reaction
"Hey Yukari?", asked Kurumu
"Yeah?"
"How do you feel about humans?", asked Kurumu when they were outside
"T-that's…", began Yukari
"Take your time", said Kurumu
"When I was young, I lived in a small protected village in a deep valley between 2 mountains", started Yukari, "I always heard about humans being scary and always hunting us down…as a result I started to fear and hate humans for a bit…"
"Me too…", sighed Kurumu, "I always thought human males only existed to be our slaves…so small and meaningless…"
Suddenly the Public Safety Commission made an announcement over the academy's loudspeaker
"Announcement for the student body", began the announcer, "We will now hold the public execution for Tsukune Aono, the human who infiltrated our school community"
During the speech Tsukune was paraded before a crowd in chains held by several officers towards the giant old twisted tree bordering the graveyard Tsukune had first met Moka which was definitely dry enough to burn now
"So…it ends where it began I suppose", thought Tsukune as he was led to the tree
"Under interrogation by the Public Safety Commission he has admitted he is a human", continued the announcer, "Hence we will now deal capital punishment"
"No way…he's a human?", exclaimed a girl in the crowd
"Hey…get a whiff of his scent…", said one boy
"He definitely smells like a human!", announced another boy
"But…you know even though I can't say I like humans…isn't execution a bit much? I mean the whole point of the school was to try to live peacefully with humans…", said another boy to his friend
"Before I came to this school I studied at a human school and I actually made a few friends there…", replied his friend
"Yeah…I say the PSC is going overboard with this", said a girl who overheard the conversation, "Honestly I think they're-"
Suddenly the girl collapsed
"Hey what the-", began one of the boys before he also collapsed
The other boy couldn't say anything before he also collapsed
All three had been felled by Kuyou's right hand lieutenant with quick blows to the back of the neck to knock them unconscious
"The execution will be held at sundown today which will be 6:30pm in a little more than 8 hours", continued the announcer who Tsukune noticed was Kuyou standing in front of the tree, "Dear students you must all observe the death of a human: Our hated enemy"
Upon this the mob began cheering for the death of Tsukune, the voices of the doubtful drowned out by the rest of the crowd's apparent hatred for humans screaming for divine punishment and for Kuyou to live long
Meanwhile the teachers were all watching through the window of the lounge
"W-What should we do?", panicked Nekonome, "If we don't stop this…"
"It seems this student was in your class Nekonome", interrupted Kotsubo
Nekonome sighed and turned around
"Yes but…execution or whatever is too…"
"Harsh?", asked Kotsubo
Nekonome nodded
"Besides the academy was made to promote peace with humans not hate!", she protested
"Yeah well that was then", said Kotsubo shrugging, "Now is pretty different. Humans have been our enemy for a long time"
"But-"
"To be honest I hate humans myself and if I knew then I would have taken action long ago!", interrupted Kotsubo raising a fist for emphasis
"B-but we still have to stop them!", exclaimed Nekonome
"Nekonome?", asked Ririko walking into the lounge
"Yes?"
"The Chairman wants to speak with you"
Nekonome suddenly ran over with surprising speed
"Could it be that he-"
Ririko stopped and wagged her finger
"Better hurry uuuup", she scolded
Meanwhile…
"Public Execution?", shouted Yukari
"That's nuts", grumbled Wayne
"What should we do?", asked Yukari
"Idiots", mumbled Kurumu
"What?"
"Tsukune and Moka are complete idiots", Kurumu said out loud before breaking into tears, "Idiots idiots idiots!"
"Wow…I never thought she was capable of being this emotionally sad", commented Wayne, "Most of the time she's just angry in terms of emotion"
Yukari just stared with a worried look
"Whole day, no food or water, and the only relief being that he won't feel anything at all in 8 hours", sighed Wayne as Kurumu and Yukari walked out of the room, "But enough of the pity, time to go to work"
Meanwhile…
Moka had been locked in a cell deeper underground than any other prisoner of the PSC and to top it off they'd decided to add insult to injury by dangling her in a metal cage above a pool of water…
"I have to hurry or Tsukune's a goner!", exclaimed Moka trying frantically to open the door but to no avail
Then Moka remembered that her more aggressive personality and the vast majority of her power was sealed away
"Come on…come on!", she shouted trying continuously to pull off her own Rosario Seal but to even less of a result…at least she bent the bars slightly when she pulled on them before they reformed by some magic
After several minutes Moka just fell to her knees and prayed that some miracle would happen
Meanwhile…
Tsukune was now chained to a small pedestal spreading his arms apart rendering him helpless up against the tree
Meanwhile…
Nekonome had been called to the Chairman's office and stood in front of him asking about what his planned course of action on this matter
"Sir you won't do anything?", asked Nekonome
"No…", replied the chairman
"But he will be executed!"
"If he is executed then that is his fate, we cannot change that"
Later…
Nekonome finally left and sighed in defeat but unknown to her Wayne and Ruby had also been called over
Inside the room the chairman grinned, he'd predicted that the PSC would catch on and he personally wasn't in the mood to lose his only human asset in the academy. He couldn't do anything but he'd told Wayne to expect something like this and had given Wayne information on the PSC's "base" to formulate a plan, all that was left to do was wait for it to go into motion and watch. Personally he disapproved of the PSC's actions as well especially the hiring of mercenary criminal monsters, working with criminal organizations, and stealing of weapons but he'd had his time to save lives and now it was time for the veterans to leave it to the rookies
Meanwhile…
Tsukune continued to stare at the mob, all of them hating him with every fiber in his body and demanding his execution be sped up…8 hours left…he hadn't even made it into college and now he was going to die in 8 hours
"Why did this happen?", Tsukune mentally asked himself, "I'm going to die and my cause will crumble…simply because I entered this academy…If I had stayed home I'd have lived but…I'd have never met my friends…"
Tsukune slumped his head
"Hmm? Tired already?", asked Kuyou, "Come on even for a human that's way too short"
"Just promise me this", replied Tsukune, "After I die you promise to not lay a hand on any of my friends"
"Hmm…for a human I have to admit that is a strange request", commented Kuyou, "You humans are infamous for your selfishness and your 'friends' are not even of your species"
"Well?"
"Don't worry I promise to not make them suffer", said Kuyou turning away
Tsukune almost sighed with relief when he saw Kuyou grin evilly
"I'll just kill them all in an instant!"
Tsukune felt an emotion mixed with fear, grief, and anger all at once and began to struggle against his bonds
"Oh forget about it", said Kuyou, "Those chains are made from super-dense titanium and are additionally fitted with magic seals"
"What seals", asked Tsukune as he stopped
"Well there's no need to waste perfectly good chains so the seals are made to withstand almost anything due to the nature of the execution", explained Kuyou
Meanwhile…
Mizore sat by the Cliffside where she'd first been saved by Tsukune from Kotsubo and blushed at the memory
"I'll miss you Tsukune, she said aloud, "You saved me here before…"
"And so now it's your turn to do the saving instead", said a female voice above Mizore
Mizore stood up and looked up to see a large raven staring at her
"You…"
The raven nodded
Meanwhile…
Kurumu sat on the edge of the lake where she had first met Tsukune and "charmed" him while Yukari looked worried over her shoulder
"Kurumu at this rate…", began Yukari
Kurumu said nothing and looked down
"Umm…I wasn't that confident before but…", began Yukari again
Yukari sighed, here went nothing
"I believe there is no difference between us and humans", she said flatly, "It's just a matter of how good or how evil they are"
Kurumu didn't budge
"I mean the one who saved me from those bullies all that time ago was a human, and that human saved me from a group of monsters," Yukari continued, "That human was Tsukune, he was from a race I had always feared…He's not one of us but after everything that's happened he's proven that he has an even bigger heart than any of us"
"I know that", Kurumu finally said
"Then-"
"You're wrong about the reason I'm upset", said Kurumu starting to cry, "I don't care he's a human, and you're right he's proven himself to be more good than any of us but the reason I'm angry is that he never told me the truth"
Kurumu looked up at Yukari eye to eye
"If they had told me earlier I could have helped them so much more and I'd have still accepted him!"
Yukari stared in shock
"That's why! I'd have still felt the same way I felt about him before if he told me!", Kurumu half explained half shouted in anger, "To have learned it from him only after being beaten so much, after all this time, It's just so frustrating! I wish they'd told me that face to face! Now I want to tell them face to face that they were being such idiots!"
Then Kurumu and Yukari noticed the same raven Mizore had seen before
Later…
Wayne, Kurumu, Mizore, Yukari, and Ruby all hid in some shrubbery in front of the PSC base all remaining in radio contact
"Alright guys there's 10 guards all armed with different weapons", observed Wayne, "There's no way to sneak past them so we have to take them out"
"Are you sure?", asked Yukari
"Positive"
"I'm no fan of the PSC but you sure we have to kill them?", asked Kurumu
"Yep…I downloaded all the faces of the PSC, these 10 guys here committed murders of at least 30 people", confirmed Wayne
"Okay then let's get them", said Mizore growing out her ice claws about to fire
"No don't!", hissed Wayne, "You won't be able to take them all out fast enough before they raise the alarm"
Mizore shrunk her claws back when she noticed Wayne was right
"Then what do you have in mind?", she asked
"Leave that to me…and whatever you do don't intervene", replied Wayne
Wayne walked from his cover into the open, walked into the official "boundary" and immediately the 10 guards pointed their weapons at him
"Freeze dirtbag!", shouted one of the guards
"Oh wow that's their idea of an insult?", mumbled Wayne
Wayne observed what their equipment, their helmets and armor were tough but didn't cover the face completely. One of them, presumably the leader, had a .50 caliber desert eagle and was holding an extra magazine in his hand due to lack of anything to do and was just playing around with it, 3 had 1947 Kalashnikovs fully loaded, one had a custom M-16 rifle, 3 with Sturmgewehr-44's, and 3 apparently had RPD light machine guns. Put simply: If he screwed up they could pretty easily mow him down if he didn't heal himself fast enough
Wayne raised his hands a bit and the one with the pistol walked up to him while the others covered which seemed pretty ridiculous since Wayne was clearly bigger than any of them
"Alright what are you doing here", asked the guard in a bored tone when he reached Wayne
"Well…", began Wayne, "I was…"
Wayne suddenly kicked the guard in the stomach with the force of a 30 pound hammer which caused him to throw the pistol and extra clip up in the air. Wayne caught the pistol and shot 3 quick shots to the guard's chest, then switched to a 2 hand grip to fire 3 shots at the closest guard, one with an RPD, one shot in the stomach, chest, and the head, after that he quickly shot the last bullet in the clip into the head of another. The others now reacted and attempted to fire but Wayne jumped up, caught the still mid-air clip, reloaded and pumped the pistol, then fired 1 shot, each a headshot, for each of the guards except one where he fired 2 because he hit the neck before the head, still leaving only one guard left: one with the RPD
"GODDAMMIT DIE!", the last guard shouted readjusting his aim to shoot Wayne
In response Wayne threw the empty pistol with such force that it snapped back the head of the last guard so fast it broke his neck and the guard collapsed lifeless before he fired a shot
"There we go, all of them down and no alarm", said Wayne patting his hands as if he were brushing dirt off of them, "You guys can come out now"
The others came out and stared in shock
"How did you do that?", asked Yukari
"I pick up stuff like this a lot", explained Wayne, "Anyway you guys ready?"
Flashback…
The raven turned out to be Ruby in disguise and had allowed Wayne to use some "bugs" to listen in on the others' conversations and tell Ruby to move in and bring the others back to the clubhouse
Now Yukari and Kurumu walked in as well after Mizore
"Glad to see you", welcomed Wayne
Everyone knew that Wayne meant to save Tsukune
"How will this work? They outnumber us and they even have that base there to call reinforcements so charging them is useless", explained Yukari
"Which is why we need some help", said Wayne
"Who's gonna help us?", asked Kurumu
"Moka when we get her out", explained Wayne
The others stared
"That's even worse", said Mizore shaking her head, "We're going up against almost ALL of them at once"
"Maybe but we need Moka to help us out, if we can't then we don't stand a chance and Gin is obviously not helping any time soon", said Wayne
"Why should we bother?", asked Kurumu
None of them knew that Wayne had in fact heard what they had been saying when Ruby went to fetch them
"Alright I'll start with you", said Wayne pointing at Kurumu, "Alright look, he's human but so what? Who cares? I mean come on the poor guy's got more heart than almost anyone in the dang academy heck he saved your life and almost died when you guys first met!"
Kurumu looked down and sighed. Wayne was right, Tsukune had nearly died when he took Moka's kick for her all to give her a chance to be a good person…now she might as well make due on that
"Alright I'm in", she sighed
Wayne nodded and pointed at Yukari
"Again who cares if he's human?", asked Wayne, "Look Yukari you grew up fearing humans and rightly so due to all the witch hunts and burnings from the past but look at this: You were going to be KILLED by MONSTERS which is technically what witches are despite the fact they stay in human form nearly all the time! You made his life a living hell since he met you but when you were about to die he consciously took a fatal blow to save your life when you weren't even human, heck, even after you did all that crap to him!"
Wayne was right again and Yukari nodded crisply signaling she was in
Wayne nodded in response and turned to Mizore and crossed his arms
"Alright where to begin…as lame and repetitive as it is I have to ask again: Who cares if he's human?", asked Wayne, "You officially crept him out the day you first met him and up until that point you'd nearly been raped by a MONSTER. After that you nearly killed his friends and almost killed him later whether by accident or not nobody knows, then when you got framed he was the first one to try and stand up for you and risked his own life to stop Kotsubo from killing you, he even BEAT Kotsubo to save your life and until he did he nearly died again for the second time in the 1 and a half days you knew him. Put simply why does it matter? He seems to be your enemy but he's proven to be a better person than anyone else in this forsaken so-called "justice" system"
Mizore said nothing but grinned and shook her head, Wayne had been right for all 3 of them which all of them could attest to, there was no need for Ruby since he'd already convinced her before
"Alright we're all going to save them but how?", asked Yukari
"Don't worry I've got the schematics for their base and the data on all their ordnance", said Wayne smugly
Present…
After spending about 2 hours explaining his plan the group now had 5½ hours to get Moka out and save Tsukune and now the group stood in front of the entrance to the base
Wayne knew that things weren't likely to go exactly as planned but he'd managed to come up with several options…some of them not pleasant but guaranteed to get Moka out and save Tsukune as a group
What Wayne didn't tell the group, however, was about the tattoos on most of the troopers confirming Wayne's suspicions of outside help…from who Wayne would have to find out later but for now they had a job to do
"Alright this is your last chance to back out any takers?", asked Wayne before opening the door
"Do you have to ask?", asked Kurumu
The others nodded in agreement and Wayne grinned, he knew they weren't planning to just give up but it was still satisfying to know that he was still able to inspire others
"Alright whatever's behind those doors is going down!", announced Wayne, "So when they open go all out! Show them just what we can do!"
Wayne kicked down the door and charged in with the others right behind
Whew…longest chapter I've written yet…I think…well either way I hope it makes up for the long hiatus sorry guys and well if you think the L4D thing was pretty dumb eh…you can complain about that and I'll stop but NOT about the story unless you're going to be constructive.
Up next is: The Last Stand. As for what it's about…well…you'll see because I honestly can't spoil it…no seriously I'm just not able to think of something although…yes that is going to be the chapter I warned you about since well…it'll contain quite a bit of combat and will probably be pretty detailed…and will also take me a while due to the amount of stuff I have to do in school…yeah…
Anyway R&R and I'll be back to you in 6 years! Hahaha no just kidding I won't take that long :P
