1.) Sorry, this is one of those "decent" chapters that I don't really consider good. I may come back to clean this up a little, though.

2.) Updates may come late, since we're hitting potholes here, berries! I'm trying to decide whether to add another heroine, or start the 19***** 7****** 3*******.

Enjoy!

Chapter Thirty-One: Me, Mechas, and Explosions

"...Why are we wearing army fatigues again?" asked Keima, tugging at the outfit that was on his person. In fact, everyone had the same green-and-brown mess that he had on, well, everyone except for Kouta, who had on his usual ninja gear. All the denizens of Class F who were actually paying a decent amount of attention shrugged in response, and Keima sighed in return.

"Anyway," said Yuuji, pointing at a map of the school, "Akihisa, with his surprisingly strong Shoukanjuu, and Mizuki shall hold this choke point." He pointed at the corridor connecting the old building and the new building. "While he's holding them off, the others shall retreat to the roof. Up there is a teacher that we've captured, and she'll be hosting some tests, so get your points up! Once I give Akihisa and Mizuki the signal, he'll retreat, and we'll spring a trap door on them, taking out a good few of their forces. Then, we gang up on the rest."

"When did you get the time to make a trap door!?" asked Keima. He was quickly ignored, as Yuuji took a pose, with Hideyoshi and Kouta joining in.

"Prepare for battle!" cried Yuuji, charging out the door with the rest of the class following his lead. Keima found himself knocked down and trampled. Once the room was nearly vacated, Keima steadily stood up. He could've sworn that one of them had worn cleats. Instantly, Mizuki rushed over, concern plastered all over her face.

"Are you okay, Akihisa?" asked Mizuki. Keima, a little too winded to talk, grinned and nodded. Then a war cry made them both jump. "Let's go!" Once they jumped out of the classroom, they were met with their opponents. An army of twenty-five stood in front of them, with Shouko and Haqua leading the troops. Not too far behind was Yuuko, who didn't look pleased. When Keima's eyes met the scythe-wielder's, they narrowed.

"You have anything left to say, Akihisa?" asked Haqua, her hand on her hip. It was like she was asking him for his last words, and Keima didn't like that one bit. She knew how strong he was, so the confidence wasn't out of ignorance. What was up her sleeve?

"I have no words for a person like you," said Keima, as a teacher summoned a technological field over the hallway. "Summon!" A magic circle appeared, and a mecha slid out, its gun and laser sword at the ready. Above it was the number "1010", shocking a few of the Class A's. Apparently, there were some who still doubted the "Smart Akihisa" rumors, but it was kinda hard to doubt a fact when it was right in front of your eyes. Shaking themselves out of their reverie, the rest summoned their Shoukanjuus, magic circles popping up everywhere. That was till Haqua held up a hand.

"Let Shouko and I handle this," said Haqua, twirling her scythe so fast, that it looked like a razor-sharp disk. Out of that disk came her Summon, who looked pretty familiar. Her face... er... skull looked just like a Sensor, and the scythe it wielded looked just like Haqua's, only smaller. The cloaked skeleton would've looked insanely menacing... had it not been for its short stature. It was a Shoukanjuu fist shorter than the rest of the Summons, and the mecha Keima had loomed over the skeletal Summon. "Meet my Summon Dokuro."

"You named your Summon?" asked Keima, sweat-dropping. "Who are you? Elsie?"

"...Anyway, this Summon has a special ability," said Haqua, patting the Avatar on the head... er... skull. "Wanna guess what it is-"

"As one!" cried Keima, pointing at the scythe-wielder. Mizuki nodded, as the knight and the mecha sprung into action. Before the skeleton could be skewered... er... hurt, a blur shoved both it and the skeleton out of the lazer sword's path, and blocked Mizuki's broadsword with her katana.

"Watch yourself," said Shouko, as the points for all the shoukanjuus were posted:

Yoshii + Himeji VS Kirishima + du Lot Herminium

1010 + 600 VS 1005 + 605

'A tie. Somehow, I'm always getting myself into tied matches,' said Keima, as his Summon blocked a swing from Haqua. Before she could get back in range, the mecha fired out a few shots, making her back away. Of course, that put Mizuki in her range, who was too occupied by Shouko to dodge. "Mizuki!"

The mecha rushed over to Mizuki using its boosters, slamming into the scythe's blade. Instantly, pain shot up Keima's abdomen, as Keima's score was drastically lowered... and Haqua's was raised.

Yoshii + Himeji VS Kirishima + du Lot Herminium

909 + 600 VS 1005 + 706

"Akihisa!" cried Mizuki, patting Keima's stomach, much to the make population's dismay. "Are you okay?"

"Do you understand now, Kei- Akihisa?" said Haqua. "My lifeless Shoukanjuu sucks the life out of other Summons. Ready to accept defeat and let us pass?" Keima, who was bent over, straightened up, a smirk on his face.

"It was a nice plan," said Keima, looking at Mizuki, "but there was one flaw."

"What?"

"You assumed that your Summon was the only one with a special ability," said Keima. He knew that this was gonna hurt, but he had no choice. He had to put Haqua in her place. "Shoukanjuu, self-destruct."

Boom!

4.) If you are going to review, then why not suggest a heroine!

5.) I keep on ending these stories with a "Goodbye" or something similar, so I decided to shake things up a little! It's random quote time!
