A/N: A new chap, for filler purposes, until the new episode of Kiva airs. Enjoy!
Devlin was riding on his moped towards the Fentons' home, at night, so he could study for the CAT with Danielle. There was going to be a study group. Danielle had invited Richard to come along. Devlin knew Richard was a vampire hunter if the whip he'd seen him with was any indication. However, Seras had also invited her friend, Tamashii. He was a freshman too, despite not sharing the same schedule as them. To be honest, Devlin was wary of Tamashii. Even after saving Chiaki and Seras as Fang, Tamashii still didn't see Fang as anything else but a vampire and if Tamashii's challenge was any indication, he aimed to kill Fang.
Devlin had to be careful, which was why he'd left Fangula back at the manor. He also couldn't risk bringing Tamashii and Seras or any of their friends over to his new home. They were vampire hunters and things could get really chaotic if they were to find out his identity as well as the true identities of Gillian, Francis and Lobo. Devlin knew they weren't human, but he couldn't have guessed that they were Fangires as well. They were different from the Fangires he'd fought before, though. They no longer needed to feed on the life force of humans and, like Fangula, were sealed into human form and could only use their powers to assist Fang in battle once one of the whistles were blown.
With Lobo and Gillian's help, he'd defeated two powerful Fangires as Fang Savage Form, the Savage Swordsman, and Fang Sniper Form, the Smooth Sniper. Those forms, he noted, had an influence on his personality, as did his default form. It was like his own personality was infused with those of his partners. When he was in Savage Form, he was wild, savage, ferocious and completely animalistic. In Sniper Form, he was instead cool, calm and collected as he carefully analyzed his target for weak spots. Such contrasting personalities. He wondered what Francis would give him if he were to blow the purple whistle.
Devlin heard the sound of an aircraft flying overhead and looked up to see a familiar looking flying machine. It wasn't one he particularly liked. It was the Guys in White again. Even after his brother had warned them, they still would not leave Danny alone. Devlin smirked. Maybe he should divert their attention.
One of the many generic GIW operatives was patrolling the skies above Amity Park. With the town being a nest for ghostly activity, it was only a matter of time before the Ghost Kid or any other ghostly scum appeared. Then, they would capture it and conduct painful experiments on it before disposing of it. It was good to be a Guy in White.
The pilot suddenly hit some turbulence as his jet shook a little. He shrugged it off and continued to monitor the radar and scanners for any ghost energy signatures and activity.
If he had done a scan on the exterior of his vehicle, he would've found a stowaway aboard his jet. Fang was on the wing, in Savage Form, clutching it with his sharp claws as he looked at the cockpit. He had his sword grasped in his jaws as he pulled himself towards the cockpit, crawling slowly, stalking his prey. He could feel the feral instincts crossing his mind.
He used a finger and tapped the cockpit. The pilot turned to see Fang and yelped in surprise. His scanner hadn't even picked up on this 'ghost' at all.
Taking hold of his sword, he stabbed it down into cockpit and the blade pierced the controls. Waving, Fang then leapt backwards and flipped his body through the air before landing safely on top of a building. He looked up and watched as the jet started to lose control and the cockpit popped off to allow the pilot to evacuate his vehicle. Fang could see the pilot falling to the ground as a parachute came out of his seat. Fang's eyes were on the jet, which had been set to crash just outside of Amity Park, where no one would get hurt.
Satisfied, Fang let out a howl as the moon shone behind him before leaping away. He had a study group to get to.
Within the basement of the Café Mal d'Amour, the Slayers were having another meeting. Both Seras and Chiaki had been discharged from the hospital so they were both present, along with the rest of their group. As usual, Tamashii was standing in front of them with a dry-erase board. Again, it had a picture of Fang but now it was accompanied by two drawings of his additional forms, the cobalt blue sword wielding Savage Form, and the emerald green gun toting Sniper Form, since they had not gotten any photographs. Tamashii had drawn them based on the images given to him by his Ryuugan and his artistic skill made the pictures appear so realistic.
Seras frowned. She knew Tamashii was going to say that Fang was still a threat for being a vampire and thus one of their targets, but she still had doubts about him being truly evil. Tamashii knew Fang had saved her and Chiaki. He couldn't just deny all that. Why not form a truce so they could work together and fight the Fangires, their common enemy?
"Seras, you are right about Fang. I do not believe that he's evil, and that we are both working towards a common goal. I owe Fang for saving yours and Chiaki's lives." Seras smiled at this. "But, he is still a target, and as such, we will eventually come to blows against him. Because of these two forms, Fang is becoming even more powerful. His blue form allows him faster speed as well as fiercer attacks, while the green form makes him more analytical of his target."
"So basically he just makes our jobs simpler," said Chiaki. "I don't have a problem with that."
"He is fighting the Fangires. I agree with Seras, we should ask him to join," said Bob.
"Like Tamashii would allow it," said Bunshichi with a snort.
"He's right," Tamashii confirmed. "Despite the fact that we owe Fang a great deal, I refuse to work with a vampire. Especially, with Ryuzaki still on the loose." The room became silent. Everyone in that room wanted Ryuzaki to suffer, but none more than Bob. He swore that the very second he saw Ryuzaki; the Salamander Fangire would be dead.
"Tamashii, we need to get going to Danielle's to study for the CAT," reminded Seras. Tamashii nodded.
"This meeting's over, for now. Everyone, get some rest. Bunshichi, remember to close up."
"Yeah, sure, whatever," said Bunshichi, waving off Tamashii.
Tamashii and Seras walked out of the basement and into the café before going out the front door. The mounted Tamashii's bike and drove off. Seras had her arms wrapped around Tamashii, holding on tightly. She silently thanked God for the helmet she was wearing, hiding her blush from being so close to Tamashii.
Richard knocked on the door. At first, he was actually stunned when he saw the Fenton Ops centre. Danielle had told him that he wouldn't be able to miss it. Who could?
The door opened and Richard was met with a very large man in a bright orange jumpsuit. "And you are…?" Jack asked.
"Oh, I'm Richard, Richard Belmont, a friend of your daughter's," Richard said as he introduced himself. "I'm here to study with Danielle."
"Yes, Danielle did mention that," Jack stroked his chin. "Her room is upstairs." He then gave Richard a look of warning. "No funny business in my home, young man."
Richard gulped. "Wouldn't dream of it, sir." Jack allowed him inside after he wiped his feet on the welcome mat. There was the sound of a moped pulling over in front of the house and Jack's face broke into a grin.
"Devlin, my boy! Welcome!" Jack waved at the young dhampir. Devlin removed his helmet and placed it on his vehicle before smiling at Jack.
"Good evening, Jack," Devlin said. Richard blinked. Did he just call Mr. Fenton by his first name? "Is Danielle home?"
"Oh, she's up in her room. I'll go call her," Jack said before turning his head towards the stairs. He pulled out the Fenton Mega-Horn. Panicking, Devlin grabbed a pair of earmuffs and putt them on quickly. "DANIELLE!! YOUR STUDY GROUP IS HERE!!"
Richard could actually feel the vibrations hit him as his body shook. That was one LOUD mega-horn. Danielle came bounding down the stairs before she launched herself at Devlin, hugging him.
"You came!" she squealed. Devlin smiled as he pat her back.
"I said I would, didn't I?" Devlin said. "So, shall we enter?"
"Seras and Tamashii still haven't arrived," Danielle said, checking her watch. Devlin would welcome Seras but dreaded meeting Tamashii. There was something about him that was still so oddly familiar to him.
Danielle, Richard and Devlin got a start on the studying before there was a knock at the door again. Jack was at the door in a flash and opened it.
"Hi!" the cheery voice of Seras came from the front door.
"Hey," Jack smiled. "You must be those two other kids Danielle told us would be coming over. Well, come on in."
Seras thanked Jack as she and Tamashii entered the house. The male Slayer was quietly impressed with how much tech was being promoted by the Fenton family. It made him wish that he and the rest of the Slayers had this kind of financial backing. They did have someone giving them orders, but that was it. Their backer only paid them once they killed enough vampires. As it was, they had to pool their money together to buy the café and things were being pinched financially for a while. Thankfully Seras had her modeling career and the rest of them had the café to help support them.
Tamashii and Seras were led to Danielle's room where the study session would be taking place. Once the door was opened, they could see Richard, Devlin and Danielle, sitting on the floor with several opened books. Tamashii and Seras entered.
"Hey, guys," Seras winked. Richard smiled.
"I'm glad you came," said Danielle happily. Devlin was happy to see Seras but Tamashii was a different story. He could still remember the threat Tamashii had made to him. It didn't bode very well for him.
"So, what will the test cover?" Tamashii asked as he sat down.
"Does it matter?" Richard frowned. "It's gonna be a standardized multiple choice paper. We might as well guess which letter and then fill in with a number-2 pencil."
Devlin rolled his eye, "You can't just guess on your future, Richard."
"Easy for you to say," Richard replied. "I mean, you already got several career paths set for you by yourself. You could be a professional violinist or a makeup artist. Maybe a beautician."
"True," Devlin agreed. "But we still need an education, even if I do agree that this CAT is pointless." Devlin took out several papers from his bag. "Here are some past year question papers. Might as well see what we'll be facing."
Seras opened up the test paper she'd been handed. "OK, these are mostly questions about current events and stuff."
"There's a history section here," Danielle pointed.
"General knowledge seems to cover the majority of the questions, with a few English and other things," Tamashii noted.
"Well, since the test is standardized, it's possible that the content would be similar," Devlin said, twirling a pencil. "Let's get started."
After a couple of hours studying, Richard finally called it quits. "I can't take it anymore!" Richard wailed as he dropped on the floor, face up. "My brain can't take much more of this!"
Devlin rolled his eye. He still had a book in hand and could study an hour more. He didn't dare speak a word since it'd upset his friend.
"I guess we should call it a night," Danielle said, looking up at the clock. "It's getting pretty late."
"Yeah," Seras agreed. "We should go. The others at the café might need us."
Danielle looked nervous. "You might wanna get out quick. Right about now, dad might try to show us one of his inventions."
Right on cue, the door swung open with Jack holding up one of his new creations. "Hey, kids! Wanna see my new-" Danielle immediately shoved him out of the room.
"Sorry, dad, later! My friends are gonna go now! They are running late," Danielle said quickly.
"Well…then maybe I can show it to you tomorrow then?"
Danielle smiled, "Great idea. Goodnight, dad." Jack walked away and Danielle leaned against the door. "I love him, but he can be so embarrassing."
"You should be grateful to have a family," Tamashii commented. "Others are not so lucky." Danielle blinked at his words before he stepped out of the room with Seras.
"I'll see you two out then," Danielle said before following them.
Devlin replayed Tamashii's words in his mind. He then looked over towards Richard and groaned. The other boy was already fast asleep, a book covering his face. "My god…" He shook Richard's shoulder. "Wake up, blast you!" Richard suddenly sat up, yelling.
"Come and get me, if you dare, you bloodsuckers!" Richard yelled out before he realized where he was. "Oh…is it over already?" Devlin rolled his eye in response.
Meanwhile, in his lair within the Ghost Zone, Technus, the Ghost Zone's self proclaimed 'Master of Technology' had just finished his greatest creation. It was a huge robot that had taken him many years to construct and perfect. To this end, he'd studied the ghost boy, his abilities and weaknesses. The final piece would be an anti-ghost shield generator, which Technus had a short supply of. However, Technus knew of one place that had a working generator. After all, he had taken over it before.
Richard exited the Fentons' house and was walking towards his motorcycle until he heard the door open again. When he turned around he saw Devlin exiting the door, closing it behind him.
"Some good studying tonight, eh?" Richard asked the other boy.
Devlin nodded, "Yes, we covered a lot tonight." He asked, "Heading home then?"
"Yeah, gotta get some sleep." Richard yawned. "See ya at school," Richard said as he turned to leave.
"Sure thing," Devlin waved. "Oh, and that's a nice whip you have by the way," Devlin said with a smirk
Richard was stunned for a second but turned around again to face Devlin. "Excuse me?" he asked.
"The one you used on that Fangire the other day. Which leads me to ask if you're either a cattle driver or that you're that kind of 'Belmont' and I don't think you're the former," Devlin stated.
"And how would you know what kind of Belmont I am?" Richard questioned.
Devlin rolled his eye. "Oh, please. Anyone who knows anything about vampires has heard of the famous Belmont clan."
Richard gave a small chuckle, "Quite perceptive, Mr. Amakusa, or should I call you 'Fang'?"
Devlin's eyes widened at the mention of his alter ego. "How did you…?" he started to ask.
"I saw you and Danielle change the day you saved me, which I think I should thank you for, by the way," Richard cut in.
"So what do you intend to do? Hunt us down?" Devlin asked, ready to fight if need be.
"Actually, I wanted to know if we could work together," the young vampire killer answered.
Devlin looked at him, questioningly surprised by his answer.
"Look, I may be a hunter but I'm not a bigot and we can't do this by ourselves," Richard said while extending his hand. "What do you say?" He asked
"I don't know," Devlin said, looking at the hand before stroking his bangs for a second. He remembered what was hidden under them.
"Look, I know you may not trust me all that much, but I intend to gain it sooner or later, preferably sooner."
Devlin thought about it a little bit. He came to a decision by taking Richard's hand and shaking it. "We'll see where this goes."
"Great," Richard smiled, glad to have Devlin accept him. "You won't regret it." Richard then turned to mount his bike.
"I sure hope so," Devlin muttered under his breath. "I sure hope so."
Technus poked his head out of the Fenton Portal to see that no one was around. Well, almost no one. Jack Fenton was bent over his workbench, sleeping. Technus grimaced in disgust at the fat human.
Floating inconspicuously, Technus then hovered over to where one of many anti-ghost shield generators was placed. Jack Fenton had made and sold a few to help protect the citizens of Amity Park, as well as a make a profit to supply enough money for his family.
"This will do nicely," Technus said before grabbing one and immediately flying back into the Ghost Zone. As soon as he did that, Danielle had come running down to check. Her ghost sense had suddenly acted up but there was no one there, except for her sleeping dad. Shaking her head, Danielle walked down and pulled a blanket over her father before walking out of the lab to allow him to rest. She was unaware of the evil plot being concocted by Technus.
Above the buildings of Amity Park, the sky began to be ripped open by two large black metal hands. Since it was the middle of the night, no one seemed to really notice. The hole in the sky was pulled open wider until a large hulking machine began to squeeze itself out of its portal.
"BEHOLD, WORTHLESS FLESHBAGS!" the annoying high-pitched tone of Technus called out through amplifiers. "I, TECHNUS, GHOST MASTER OF MACHINES, HAVE CREATED A MACHINE WHICH YOU CANNOT STOP! NOT EVEN THE GHOST CHILD WILL BE ABLE TO SAVE YOU NOW!" His bellowing had the desired effect as people began running for their lives, screaming.
Coming out of a theatre, Danny was on a date with Sam who had wanted to see some politically correct film that bored him to tears. He really couldn't say no to her through since she was his girlfriend after all. Well that and the fact that she still had that photo of him and Tucker hugging in their sleep back when they tried to get photos of the purple-back gorilla a few years back.
They had been coming out of the theatre when Technus appeared and started his rant.
"Oh, no," Danny sighed as his ghost sense activated, late. Technus was a tough guy sometimes, but he was just as annoying as the Box Ghost. The male halfa turned to his date with an apologetic frown. "Sorry, but you know what this means."
"Yeah," Sam sighed. She brought Danny in for a kiss before letting him go. "Just give him an extra butt-whooping for me."
"Will do!" Danny smirked, getting a high from the kiss. Where she learnt to kiss so well, he didn't want to know. He just hoped it wasn't with another guy. However, she could do it to him all she wanted.
"I'm going ghost!" Danny yelled out as he changed swiftly into his alter-ego, Danny Phantom, flying straight towards the Technus-Bot 5000. The citizens looked up and cheered as their hero arrived to save the day (night to be more precise) yet again.
In the kitchen, Maddie, Jack and Danielle could see the rampaging ghost robot on their television. As usual, Jack yelled out, pointing, "GHOST!!"
Danielle narrowed her eyes. She recognized that voice anyway, "It's Technus. Why am I not surprised?" She remembered when her ghost sense had gone off. It must've been warning her about Technus. "And I let him get away," Danielle muttered. "She immediately ran towards the door.
"Danielle, wait!" Maddie cried. "We're coming with you!"
"Mom, it's too dangerous!" Danielle protested. "Stay here where it's safe. Danny and I can take care of things."
"But I wanted to test out one of my new inventions," Jack whined.
"Young lady," Maddie said firmly, hands on her hips. "We are your parents, so we are coming along or you're not going at all."
Danielle bit her lip. "OK, but please stay back if it gets dangerous. You're the only real family I have."
"Thank you, sweetie," Maddie said as she hugged the younger halfa. "Come on, Jack. We have a ghost to blast!" She took out a gun and cocked it.
"Yeah!" Jack grinned widely. "Time for that ghost to meet its maker! To the Fenton RV!"
The residents of Fang Manor could see Technus rampaging through the town. It wasn't that hard to see since the robot was a large monster.
"Looks like a Godzilla movie, live," Gillian remarked as she watched from the balcony with Francis, Lobo, Miriam and Walter. They all had binoculars out to see.
"The Lords may get involved," Francis nodded. "I just saw Lord Fangula leave."
"As long as they don't get killed, I don't give a damn," Lobo grunted.
"I do wish Devlin just stays away from danger, but I know that's not how he was raised," Miriam said. "Unfortunately…" Walter placed a hand to her shoulder.
"The young master will be alright. He's been through worse," Walter reminded. Miriam knew all too well. She remembered the night he'd returned with that wound…
Danny was soon joined by Danielle as the two halfas kept blasting at the robot, with no effect whatsoever. Ever Maddie and Jack were having little luck since their weapons were unable to penetrate the force field around the huge robot Technus was inhabiting. The robot kicked at the RV, sending it tumbling across the street, narrowly missing Maddie and Jack.
"What's going on, Jack?" Maddie asked.
Jack narrowed his eyes and growled. "I recognize that force field anywhere! That no good ghost took one of my shield generators!"
"THAT RIGHT, MORTAL! AND THANKS TO YOU, I AM INVINCIBLE!!" Technus laughed. He then sent a powerful blast at them, which sent them flying. They both crashed against a wall before falling unconscious.
"DAD!" Danny yelled in horror.
"MOMMY!" Danielle yelled out.
Technus laughed, "SEE? I AM ALL POWERFUL! NO ONE CAN STOP ME! FOR I AM TECHNUS, THE GREATEST GENIUS IN THIS WORLD AND THE NEXT!"
The two heroic halfas turned their enraged eyes at the robotic specter.
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Danielle and Danny shouted out in angry unison before continuing their attack.
While Technus, in his robotic body, rampaged through Amity Park, Devlin was giving chase on the Blood Fang. Looking up, he could see Danny and Danielle, both in their ghost forms, blasting at the robot. Their ecto-blasts didn't even make a dent since the thing was protected by an anti-ghost shield.
"This could be troublesome," Devlin said as Fangula rode on his shoulder. "We should help."
"Very well," Fangula agreed. "It seems that both Daniel and your mate are going to need it."
Fangula swooped down onto Devlin's arm and bit down into his flesh. The rush of vampiric energy forced Devlin's Orphenoch markings to appear on his face. The belt quickly formed and Devlin grabbed Fangula before attaching him to the Fang Belt.
"Henshin!"
"Wake Up!"
The chains formed, wrapped around him and shattered, revealing Masked Rider Fang in place of Devlin Amakusa. Accelerating the Blood Fang, the Rider raced towards the battle.
Technus swiped at both Danielle and Danny with his arms as the two halfas flew out of his reach.
"This is hopeless!" Danielle cried. "That ghost shield he swiped from dad makes him almost invincible."
"He has to have a weak spot!" Danny yelled back.
"How are we gonna find it if we can't get close enough to change into human form to penetrate the shield?" Danielle asked.
Danny was about to answer when Technus' robot blasted them both with eye rays. Danny was able to dodge but Danielle was hit.
"Danielle!" Danny shouted as Danielle fell. He flew down to grab her but was grabbed by Technus.
"NOT SO FAST, GHOST CHILD!" Technus bellowed. "FOR I, TECHNUS, SHALL BE THE ONE TO DEFEAT YOU!"
Danny wasn't paying attention as he struggled to get out of Technus' grip. However, it proved useless since he was unable to go intangible. Technus had probably made the robot out of materials that ghosts couldn't move through, even when intangible. He could only watch as Danielle dropped to the ground below.
Fang, looking up, saw Danielle plummeting to her doom. He leapt off the bike and ricocheted off a building before grabbing her in his arms. He flipped off another building before his body spun and he landed on his bike. The tires screeched from the harsh landing but Fang was able to stabilize the vehicle before it hit a dumpster.
Danielle opened her eyes and gasped. "Devlin!"
Fang nodded and got off the bike before gently placing her on the ground. "So, what's the situation?" Fang asked.
"Technus is gonna destroy Amity Park if we don't stop him!" Danielle said as she flew up but Fang grabbed her. "Let me go!"
"You're injured!" Fang pointed at the burn on her stomach.
"It's just a flesh wound!" she protested.
Fang recognized the tone in Danielle's voice. She was near hysterical because people she loved were in danger. He was familiar with it since his older sister, Megami, would often enter this state whenever she heard something had happened to either him or Ichijyo.
"We can't afford to just charge in," he insisted as he kept his grip on his girlfriend.
"We don't have time!" Danielle shot back. "He hurt mommy and daddy and now he's gonna hurt Danny!"
"Then it's good that I have an idea," Fang said. Reaching down to his belt, he withdrew the Sniper Whistle. This was going to take accuracy and caution
"Sniper Magnum," he said before placing the whistle between Fang's lips.
Gillian smiled as the Sniper Whistle's tune flowed into her ear. With a twirl and wink to her fellow residents of Fang Manor, she vanished into a ball of green light before shooting towards the town.
Danny was being electrocuted by Technus and he was doing all he could to keep conscious. He wasn't going to give Technus the satisfaction by screaming out in pain so he had his teeth gritted. None of his ghosts powers, not even his ecto-ice or Ghostly Wail, could damage the armor of the robot with that anti-ghost shield active.
Technus laughed, "NOW, CHILD, MEET YOUR DEMISE!" He was about to crush Danny when he felt several violent shots impact his head. "WHAT!? WHO DARES ATTACK THE GREAT GHOST MASTER OF TECHNOLOGY!?" Technus demanded. His optics focused and saw Danielle. "IMPOSSIBLE! I DESTROYED HER!" His eyes then focused on her cargo, which she was carrying with both hands. She was holding him by his shoulders, gripping tight. "WHAT IS THAT?"
Danny's eyes opened slowly, partly from the pain, as he saw Danielle and an emerald armored Fang flying towards him. "Dani…elle…?"
"Help is on the way, bro!" Danielle smiled. She glanced down to Fang. "OK, give it to him!"
Danny stared at this new green Fang that was in his sister's arms. He had noticed the change right away, but he didn't know what had brought it on. He assumed that it had something to do with the gun that he was holding, but he really couldn't be sure. He just hoped that he was as good with the weapon as he was with his martial arts.
Fang nodded and aimed directly at the joints of the hand. He fired 10 rapid shots from the Sniper Magnum. The watery projectiles were able to hit the same exact spot in quick succession, causing a short circuit in the hand, which Technus felt. Since the Sniper Magnum was Fangire-powered rather than ghost-powered, Technus had no defenses against it.
"WHAT!?" Technus yelled out as his hand crackled before exploding. Luckily, Danny was able to fly out of his hand as it did, leaving a stump with wires exposed. Apparently the hulking machine wasn't waterproof.
"Thanks," Danny said, giving Fang a smile. Fang nodded and then all three heroes turned to look at Technus, fuming angrily.
"I SHALL DESTROY THIS MISERABLE TOWN AND ALL OF YOU!!" Technus yelled out, "SO SAYS TECHNUS, THE GHOST MASTER OF ALL THINGS TECHNOLOGICAL!!"
"Doesn't he ever shut up?" Danielle groaned. Fang had to agree with her. It was time to shut Technus up for good. Fang's eyes scanned the possessed robot and could see where the anti-ghost shield generator was. It was right on top of its head. His sharp eyes could see it directly and that was just enough. He gripped his gun and placed it down to Fangula, allowing the small vampire to bite the hammer.
"Sniper Bite!"
Danny heard someone speak and he looked at Fang again. His eyes widened when he saw what was serving as the belt buckle.
'Fangula?!' he gasped internally.
The Sniper Magnum charged up as Fang aimed at the generator. Water from a mysterious source swirled around Fang and into the barrel of the Sniper Magnum. Danny watched in awe as this mysterious armored fighter leveled his weapon at Technus, creating a basketball sized water bomb at the front of his gun barrel.
"SNIPER AQUA TORNADO!!"
Fang pulled the trigger and sent the water bomb sailing through the air. It penetrated the ghost shield and exploded against the anti-ghost shield generator on impact. The generator began to crackle as it malfunctioned. The shield faded away after flickering a few times.
Technus let out a disappointed sigh, knowing that his defeat was imminent. "NOT AGAIN…"
"NOW!" Danny yelled out as he fired a wide ice beam from his hands that engulfed the robotic behemoth. Technus was unable to do a thing as his greatest creation was engulfed in ice. This could not be!
"And to finish it off," Danny smiled as he took in a deep breath, "A GHOSTLY WAIL!!" he screamed at the frozen robot and its entire body shattered into pieces, leaving a lone Technus in the centre of his ruined creation. Danny, Danielle and Fang landed in front of him. Technus was about to retaliate in rage but saw the gun barrel trained at his head, as if daring him to make a move. The self proclaimed 'Ghost Master of Technology' gulped and surrendered. Seeing a so-called master of technology bowing in front of them was somewhat amusing.
Danny fished out his Thermos and uncapped it, pointing it at Technus before sucking him in. As he spun on the cap, he turned to see Fang walking away towards the Blood Fang. "Hey, wait!" Danny called. Fang turned his head to look at the halfa. "Who are you?" Fang didn't give an answer as he walked away and mounted his bike before speeding off down the streets. Danny frowned. "Why doesn't he ever give me a straight answer?
Tamashii sat in the lotus position in his room. Only one thing was on his mind; who was Fang?
"From what my Ryuugan has seen, he has vampiric strength and speed, so I'm guessing he can disengage his body and reform himself. Is he a Fangire, or just an average vampire? I sense an aura around him that's familiar. Could I have met this Fang before without realizing it? Am I really becoming that careless?"
"Perhaps you fought him before. Given your age, it would not surprise me," said Ryuken.
"Urusai, you damned spirit!" said Tamashii.
"You know that there is only one way to know for sure…"
"As much as I hate to admit it, you are right." Tamashii reached into his pocket and pulled out a small blade, no bigger than a kitchen knife. He positioned the blade across his arm and sliced his arm open. Instantly, memories began flooding his mind.
Flashback…
Tamashii remembered that night all too well. He was fighting a very tricky vampire. This one had long elfish ears, red eyes, and shining silver hair under the moonlight. He'd caught it attacking an innocent woman and was going to make sure it would never survive this fight. He struck with his blades, which it dodged by turning a portion of its body to gas. Its fingernails extended into long swords, a good two or three feet long each, which it used to slash at him. Tamashii was able to avoid the swipes of the claws before charging forward with his sword.
The vampire screamed as Tamashii's sword impaled its right eye. Tamashii was about to finish it when the vampire threw a capsule to the ground. There was a massive explosion of smoke. Tamashii covered his mouth as he began to cough and activated his Ryuugan to locate the vampire but as the smoke cleared, the vampire had fled.
Tamashii looked at his blood covered blade. Due to its mystical properties, there was no way the vampire would be able to heal.
…End Flashback
Tamashii came back to the current time. His arm healed itself as black energy surrounded it. "I have seen him before," said Tamashii. "Looks like I get to finish that job I started a months ago…"
Guys in White Headquarters…
The GIW operative whom Fang had attacked immediately reported it to his superiors. Since he'd been in Amity Park when it happened, they drew the same conclusion.
"Ghost. You were attacked by one of those ghosts."
"Yes, sir," the operative nodded to his superior. "It slipped through my radar and caught me by surprise."
"The black box on the jet confirms that," the superior nodded. "However, I am curious how it managed to do that. The radar should have been able to pick it up."
"Perhaps the ghosts are beginning to adapt?" suggested the operative.
"Perhaps," the superior nodded. "However, the issue still stands that this ghost has proven hostile. I want it captured so we can figure out how it managed to get close to you."
"Yes, sir," the operative smirked. Revenge would be incredibly sweet. No ghost caught this operative off-guard and got away with it.
A/N: Well, that's the chap. Thank you Zombi 138, Ten Faced Paladin and Shadow Element 13. Now, for some data
Masked Rider Fang
His 'human' alter-ego is Kyoichiro Devlin Amakusa-Akuma, a 15 year old freshman in Casper High. In reality, he is actually a damphir/orphenoch. He is popular at school for being a makeup artist with his clients being the entire female student body and some members of faculty.
He transforms into Fang with the help of Fangula, a vampire sealed into the form of a small mechanical bat. Fangula is nicknamed 'Fangy'. The transformation is activated with Fangula biting Devlin's arm, feeding the boy his power. Ghostly chains wrap around his waist and then materialize a blood red belt called the Fang Belt. Fangula is then attached, upside down, to the belt. The belt has 6 whistles contains in slots equipped to the belt to invoke his power.
Blood Form
This is Fang's default battle form. The armor is blood red along with the visor. This form is based on a vampire and is a melee type fighter, relying on powerful physical blows. The primary finisher is Dark Moon Break, which is a powerful flying kick. With a destructive force of 30,000 kg, it's enough to shatter a Fangire's body.
Savage Form
Fang's second battle form. The torso armor is cobalt blue along with the armor covering his left arm. The visor also changed to the same color. Savage Form is called upon when the Savage Whistle is blown, summoning Lobo and changing him into the Savage Saber, this form's primary weapon. In Savage Form, Fang is just like its name implied. He becomes a savage and ferocious fighter, almost like an animal. His finisher in this form is Howling Wolf Slash, which he uses to slice a Fangire to ribbons.
Sniper Form
Fang's third battle form. The torso and right arm armor turns emerald green and scaly. The eyes also turn the same color. In this form, based on a gill-man, Fang is able to analyze his opponent for weak spots and is an expert at long range combat, which is not a surprise since his weapon is a gun known as the Sniper Magnum. The Sniper Magnum is Gillian's weapon form which she (happily) assumes when she is summoned by the Sniper Whistle. The finisher in this form is Sniper Aqua Tornado, which has Fang create a pressurized ball of water, a destructive water bomb, before firing it at his target. The targeted Fangire can never get away since the bomb homes in on them. Upon impact, the Fangire's body becomes so fragile that even the gentlest touch can shatter them.
