Time to get serious now, seriously…
Chapter 23
So you people are starting to get serious and come for Negi sensei's blood!
The king's personal limousine was traveling down the highway and all the people and vehicles on the streets had to move out for the king to go by. "I didn't know that an official from St. Elimine's church was going to be at the Holy Shrine wanting to meet me," Roy said. "They never told me anything about this. I wonder what it's about."
"We'll know once we get there, your majesty," Merlinus told him, "Though I admit this came really suddenly. Forgive me for not being informed of this earlier."
"This is nothing worth apologizing."
-
Back at the castle, daily activities were going on as usual with Lilina under control since Roy went out. She was sat down behind a table on her throne doing some sewing work while humming the Fire Emblem main theme to herself and her servants were standing at her side ready to serve her in whatever way.
Everything was going quietly and peacefully when all of a sudden…
BAAAAAAAAANG!!!!
Lilina almost jumped up from the sudden sound of explosion and asked in panic, "What was that?!"
There were more sounds of explosion and things breaking apart, as well as the screams of soldiers and people inside the castle. "What is happening?!" she asked in shock again.
Then a lone soldier came running into the throne room with great panic and knelt down before the queen saying, "Your highness! The castle is under attack!"
"What?! By who?!"
"We do not know who they are, but they came so suddenly that we didn't have time to prepare for it, and furthermore, they are massive in size and are very powerful! None of our soldiers are any match for them!"
Then a good portion of the wall exploded and debris and smoke flew everywhere. Everyone in the room turned to look at the busted down wall and saw three large silhouettes behind the veil of smoke. The silhouettes stepped out of the smoke to reveal themselves as towering mechanical beings, each of them about 3 tall.
The one standing in the middle was a legless knight that hovered in air and it had four disembodied hands floating around its body—Mega Titan.
To the right of it was a pink dinosaur-like robot that moved on wheels and had a circular mouth that was always open—Robirdo.
And on the left side was a grey trash can with legs and cannon-like arms, and its eyes was visible from the darkness underneath its half-open lid—Garuken.
"What are those?!" Lilina said in shock.
"They are the ones that attacked the castle!" the soldier told her.
The three mechanical monstrosities slowly stepped forward and the guards in the room immediately ran to stop them. With a single swipe of its hands, Mega Titan smashed all the soldiers away into the wall. Robirdo launched an egg-shaped projectile out of its mouth and it exploded upon hitting the floor, blasting the soldiers away. Garuken pointed its arm cannons at the incoming soldiers and fired junk parts to knock them away.
After beating up all the soldiers in the room, the three robots stepped forward again. Furious at what they were doing, Lilina stood forward bravely and held up her arms to get ready to cast a spell to fight back, even though her servants insisted that she run for safety instead.
Then the robots stopped moving forward and quickly moved to the sides, and then some more people could be seen coming into the room. This time it was Fawful and he was accompanied by his followers at the back. "Who are you?" Lilina asked him in an angry-sounding voice.
Greetings, queen!" Fawful said. "All your castle are belong to us!"
-
Negi and his class were currently at a Comiket that was in the city. Comiket refers to place that sells all sorts of fan-made comics and games. It's basically a store for anime otaku's.
"I didn't know they have Comikets in Lycia too!" Asuna said as she looked around the place. Everywhere she looked at, there were people crowded all around the booths looking at what was the latest.
"Japanese media sure is widespread and loved throughout the world, isn't it?" Konoka asked. "It's good to see that our country is so popular among foreigners!"
-
Some girls were cosplaying as various anime and manga characters while photographers took picture of them. Chisame was looking at these and said to herself, "The quality of these cosplays and comics are somewhat lower than that of Japan's. Well, this is obvious since all these aren't native to this country in the first place. Being a net idol, a constant guest at the Comiket, and an expert in cosplays, I really feel like teaching the people here two or three things about these sorts of things. But I ought to control myself… I don't want to make myself look like the rest of the weirdo students in my class…"
She turned her head around the place and saw Negi reading a comic that he got off the book rack, and she noticed a Rated R label at the back of the book. A question mark appeared over Negi's head as he read the comic. "This man is naked and he's…"
Chisame quickly snatched the book off his hand and yelled at him, "Didn't you see the Rated R label on the back?! This book isn't for your age to read!"
Just standing nearby, Haruna, Yue, and Nodoka were reading another book. "Wow! Look at the size of this thing!" Haruna said in awe.
"It's almost out of proportion…" Yue commented.
Haruna looked at Negi and motioned for him to come over. "Want to see this?"
"What is it?" Negi was about to go over when Chisame rushed up to Haruna and snatched the book away from her.
"Are you trying to taint his innocent mind?!" she yelled.
"I'm sure he's mature enough to look at these things already," Haruna said jokingly.
"What was it?" Negi asked curiously.
"You're better off not knowing…" Chisame told her.
-
"The Comiket here in Lycia is a relatively new event," Gyde explained to the Smashers. "It only started about three years ago, and like Japan, it is held once in a year for three days. Fan made comics, animations, games, and anime-related toys are on sale and there are various cosplays. It surely is a fun event for fans of such things! I assume that none of you are listening to me, so good luck with your shopping…" Truer words cannot be said.
-
"Look, here's an interesting one about a man who strives to become the greatest racer in the world," Captain Falcon said, showing G&W a comic that he was reading.
"This one is cooler," G&W told him, showing him another book. "It's about a two-dimensional man who gets no recognition in the world due to his odd appearance, and thus he would do anything in order to make himself more well known."
"Theez one eez good-a too!" Mario said. "Eet eez about-a strange creatures called Subspace Army invading da world and turning people into trophies and using bombs to bring-a portions of da world into their own world."
"This one here is called Magister Saga," Red said. "It's about two group of heroes running into each other during a trip and then a villain arises trying to revive an ancient evil, so both the groups of heroes team together to stop the villain from succeeding."
ROB came over to them with another book in his hand and said, "This concept is a unique one. It talks about romance between human and android."
Marth was looking at some action figures that were on sell. "You know?" he said, holding up a Godzilla action figure. "For a widely feared monster and one of the 4 Abominations, Godzilla sure has quite a number of merchandises featuring him… You don't see these with the other three…"
"Hey look, an anime about Super Smash Bros.!" Pit said excitedly, looking at a large screen that was showing footages of said anime on the wall.
In the background, you could see Luigi arguing with the seller about the price. Let's not get into details about that.
-
"Hey, you will think Negi sensei will look good in this?" Misa asked, holding up a red riding hood.
"That's a girl's costume, but I'm sure he'll look cute in that!" Madoka told her.
"Let's go find him and have him were it then!" Sakurako suggested. "I can't wait to see him in these cute and girly outfits! Heheh!"
KAAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOM!!!!
The exploding sound roared through the air and scared the daylights out of everyone and soon smoke and fire could be seen coming from one far end of the building.
"What happened?!"
"Someone set us up a bomb!"
"Fire!"
"Everybody run for your lives! Get out ASAP!"
Soon, the whole place was in great panic as people started to rush for the exit. The cheerleader girls were also trying to make a run for it, but then someone got in front of them. "You are the students of the teacher named Negi Springfield, am I right?" he asked. "Would you mind taking me to him?"
-
Negi, Asuna, Konoka, Setsuna, and Chisame were traveling together as a group when this happened.
"I smell smoke, bro! There must be fire!" Chamo gasped in shock. "Let's get out of here fast!"
"Where is everybody else? As the teacher, I must make sure that everyone is safe and sound first!" Negi said.
"I'm sure they're all right," Asuna told him. "They must've run for the exit already! Quick, let's just get out of here first!"
"But…"
"They'll be all right for sure! If you can't save yourself, you can't save anyone else!"
They quickly headed in the direction where everybody is running, but then a green pipe grew out from the floor suddenly without dealing any damage to the floor itself. "What is this?!" Konoka said in shock. Setsuna had her hand on her sword to get ready in case it was something dangerous.
They slowly walked up to the green pipe to inspect it when suddenly a large plant monster poked its head out and roared at a frightening voice that made them jumped back. "What is this?!" Asuna said in shock.
The plant monster, Petey Piranha, climbed out from the pipe and landed in front of them with a stomp and continued growling at them. Setsuna got out his sword and pointed at him saying, "You better not touch Ojou-sama or any of my friends!"
"What is this?!" Negi said. "I've never seen anything like this before!"
"So you are here, Negi Springfield," said a new voice. He turned to where the voice was coming and something fell in front of him, and he was horrified to see what it was.
"Madoka! Sakurako! Misa!" he gasped. Lying in front of him was Madoka and Misa, both of them severely wounded and bleeding. The person standing in front of him was none other than Kitty Corp, and he was still holding an unconscious Sakurako in his hands.
"Who are you?! And what have you done to our classmates?!" Asuna asked.
"When I told them the reason I wanted for meeting you, they refused to tell me, so I had no choice," Kitty replied sternly. "Had they cooperated nicely, this wouldn't have happen." And he dropped Sakurako on top of the other two.
"How dare you?!" Negi said angrily. "Don't you dare hurt my students!"
"At a young age, you talk with great maturity," Kitty said. "Such can be said about the son of the Thousand Master."
"What?! You know my father?"
"Whether I know him or not isn't important, for I am here for another purpose. As the boss has commanded me, I am here to obtain your blood in order to complete the last part of our plan."
Hearing this immediately shocked them all and they realized who these villains were. "You're from that same group of villains who are trying to revive the Cruncher, right?" Setsuna asked. "So you're going all out at last!"
"It is necessary in order to complete the final steps," Kitty told her.
"How did you know that I am here anyway?" Negi asked him.
"Do not underestimate the genius mind of our boss. Using tracking technology, he is able to pinpoint the exact location you are in currently, and thus we came here through the warp pipe. The explosion just now was also caused by a bomb that we've planted in order to create panic and get things done without people around to interfere. Now we will need your blood in order to continue the last step of our operation. Hand over a pint of your blood at once."
"Never!" Negi shouted back.
"If you refuse to cooperate, you will only see your students suffering even more."
"Don't you dare!"
Suddenly, blue slimy liquid shot out from the pipe and fell onto Chisame. "Eeks! What is this?!" she gasped. The slimy liquid wrapped itself around her body and then forced her onto the floor and glued her there. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free. Then the heads of the Slime Sisters formed themselves out from the slime.
"If you do not cooperate," they said. "We will dissolve this girl into bones, heheheh!"
"You three again!" Negi said.
"Let go of her at once!" Setsunsa said. She was going to rush for the Slime Sisters and free Chisame when suddenly a brown sludge flew right into her face and temporarily blinded her. "Ah!" Then Petey Piranha leaped forward and with a smack from his leaf hand, she was knocked aside.
"Secchan!" Konoka cried. Petey then appeared over her and lowered his head and closed his mouth over her body. "YAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" With her lower body sticking out from the plant monster's mouth, she screamed and kicked furiously to get free.
"Ojou-sama!" Setsuna cried. She wiped the sludge off his face and ran towards Petey to attack him, but got in front of her and then thrust a finger at her.
"Shigan!" he said. The finger went through her body as if it was a bullet and she felled back and cried in pain with her one hand over the wound on her body.
"Setsuna!!!" Negi gasped in horror.
"He used his finger to impale her?!" Asuna said in shock.
"Resistance is futile," Kitty said to Negi. "The more you attempt to fight back, the more your beloved students will get hurt."
"Why you?!" he growled angrily.
"You cat freak! You're going too far!" Asuna yelled.
"What will you do now, Negi Springfield?" Kitty asked him again. "If you try to fight back, I will not assure that your students get away alive."
Negi growled in frustration on what to do, but Chamo told him, "You mustn't listen to him, bro! If you really let them get a pint of your blood, the Cruncher will be resurrected and the world will be in danger!"
"But my students…" Negi said. He looked at Chisame who was still glued to the floor, Konoka still struggling out from Petey's mouth, Setsuna too injured to move, and the cheerleader girls unconscious on the floor. "They will all die if I don't…"
"Snap out of it, Negi!" Asuna told him. "We can't let the bad guys get away with what they want! There's got to be a way to solve this!"
"Aru! Chinese Flying Kick!" shouted the voice of Ku Fei. Ku Fei herself suddenly came flying in from the side and towards Kitty. Kaede and Kotaro also showed up into the scene.
"Take this, stray cat!" Kotaro yelled, and then all three of them delivered their attacks simultaneously at Kitty.
"Tekkai," Kitty said while remaining still. When all three of them struck him, they fell back and began crying in pain as their legs and hands where hurt.
"Yeow!" Kotaro cried.
"Aru! I think I broke my leg!" Ku Fei cried, holding her leg in pain.
"What?! How can you get hurt attacking him?!" Asuna asked in disbelief.
"I don't know, but it was like hitting a wall of iron just now…" Kaede replied.
"It doesn't matter how many more people show up," Kitty said. "All of your efforts will be in vain."
"Dammit! I don't care what happened just now, but I'm not letting a cat freak like you beat me! I'm a dog demon, so I should be your natural enemy!" Kotaro said, standing back up. He jumped at Kitty and threw another punch, but Kitty suddenly disappeared in a blink of an eye and Kotaro ended up hitting empty air. "What?!"
Kitty reappeared behind him in a split second and grabbing him by the leg, slammed him hard onto the floor. "GAAAH!!!"
"Kotaro!" Negi cried.
Kaede and Ku Fei got back up to attack Kitty, but he easily evaded their attacks by zipping out of the way at a really fast speed and then he appeared behind them and impaled them both in the shoulders using only his finger. "Shigan!"
"YAAAAA!!!"
They both fell down and were crying in pain from the wound inflicted onto their shoulders while Kitty turned to look at the shocked Negi, Asuna, and Chamo. Kitty then noticed that the policemen had arrived and they were entering from the front door. "Such a hindrance for other people to show up," he said. "Burrows, do you job."
"Moho! It's my turn again!" Major Burrows said as he leaped out from the pipe. "Mole Barricade!" He slammed his hands into the floor and yanked it back up forcefully, resulting in a massive wall being formed. It went from one far end to another, so the policemen had no way to get behind the wall.
"What is this wall?!" they said in surprise.
-
Outside, the people had already all escaped. The firefighter had already arrived to put out the fire already.
"I don't see Negi sensei at all!" Ayaka said. "Is he still inside?!"
"It looks like Negi sensei, Asuna, Setsuna, Konoka, Ku Fei, Kaede, and the cheerleaders are still inside," Kazumi said.
"Kotaro went in there also!" Natsume said. "He said he sense that Negi sensei is in danger, so he rushed inside with Kaede and Ku Fei."
"Negi sensei… Please be all right…" Nodoka prayed silently to herself.
"Nodoka, can't you use your Pactio to tell how he is currently?" Haruna asked her.
"Oh, I forgot!" Nodoka then got out a card from her pocket. "Adeat!" The card transformed into a book and she quickly opened it. The pages were empty at first, but then pictures that look like they were drawn by little kids eventually appeared alongside words. "Here it is! Negi sensei… He seems to be in danger! There are bad people in there attacking him and the others!"
-
"I told you that resistance is futile," Kitty said to Negi.
"What do we do…?" Negi told himself. Some of the strongest fighters in his class were all beaten up and the others were in danger. This is without doubt the worst case scenario for him.
"What is wrong with this guy…?" Asuna asked. "He can impale people using his fingers, has a body as hard as iron, and can move around at a super fast speed!"
"I am asking you politely again, Negi Springfield," Kitty said to Negi. "Are you going to hand over a pint of your blood? Or do you want me to take it from you by force? If you try to do anything again, your students will be in danger."
Negi had totally lost it and was in great confusion on what to do. "What do I do?! What do I do?! If I do as they say, the world will be in danger, but if I don't, my students will be killed!"
"Pull yourself together, bro!" Chamo told him. "There's got to be some way to solve this!"
"Don't worry about us, sensei…" Setsuna said as she slowly stood back up. "Do not let us be a hindrance to you… We must not let the enemies do as they want!"
"So it looks like you really want to fight back no matter what," Kitty said. "Such a foolish idea as this will result in things getting worse."
"Moho! You should've listened to me properly back at Ruined Island, kid!" MB said to Negi. "Had you gave up a bit of your blood back there, this wouldn't have happened!"
"Help me! Secchan!" cried the muffled voice of Konoka as she continued to kick against Petey's body to break free from his mouth.
"Ojou-sama!" Setsuna was going to rescue her, but Petey bit down on Konoka even harder, making her scream in pain.
"Do not underestimate Petey's jaw power," Kitty said to him. "He has enough power to crush boulder in a single bite. If you make a move, he will bite that girl in half instantly."
"How dare you?!"
"Enough time wasting now. It seems that you are not willing to cooperate with us quietly. Might as well do things myself and put an end to this."
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the stone wall created by Major Burrows and it grabbed their attention. Immediately afterwards, a portion of the wall burst open and Captain Falcon came crashing in, shortly followed by Marth. "No wall is going to get in my way!" CF shouted.
"Captain Falcon!" Negi exclaimed.
"Looks like you guys are in a tight spot here," CF said. "Don't worry; we're here to help you!"
"Such a bother," Kitty said. "But it matters not. Nothing will stop us from what we are going to do."
Petey still had Konoka trapped in his mouth, but suddenly an extended fist came flying into his body from the side and gave him a powerful punch that made him cough out Konoka. Setsuna immediately ran over to catch her before she hit the floor. "Ojou-sama! Are you all right?" she asked her in concern.
"Secchan…" she replied. "Thanks a lot…"
"I didn't do anything, it was…" Setsuna turned to look at Konoka's rescuer and saw that it was Chachamaru.
"Looks like you can't do anything without me, can you, boy?" Eva said as she stepped through the opening on the wall made by CF.
"Eva! Everyone!" Negi said happily.
"Great! Now we have the upper hand now!" Chamo said.
"Hey! How about me?!" Chisame, who was still slimed, cried.
CF turned to Kitty and said, "Looks like you're mistreating our little friends here, fellow."
"Watch out! That guy has strange powers!" Asuna told him. "He easily took out Setsuna, Ku Fei, Kaede, and Kotaro!"
"We shall see about that then!" CF said. "Prepare yourself!" He then charged at Kitty and pulled back his fist to throw a punch.
"Tekkai." Kitty remained still and took the punch to his body, and CF ended up hurting his fist instead.
"Ow! That hurts!" he cried. "Wait a minute, did you just say something?"
Marth appeared behind Kitty and swung his sword at him, but Kitty took the slash to his back with no harm at all. "What?!" Marth gasped. "Not a single wound?! How come?!"
"Rankyaku!" Kitty spun around and kicked against the air a cutting wind blade was shot out. Marth quickly ducked down to avoid it however.
"That move! Without a doubt!" Marth said.
"Yes, it is what I'm thinking after all!" CF said. "The Rokushiki!"
"Rokushiki?" the others said curiously.
"You are right in saying that," Kitty told CF.
"But that's impossible!" Marth claimed. "The only people who know the Rokushiki are the CP9, and we've met every member already!"
"Just who are you?" CF asked Kitty.
"You are Captain Falcon, I presume," Kitty said. "And you are the person who defeated Rob Lucci of the CP9, am I correct?"
"Rob Lucci! You know him?"
"Let me tell you this," Kitty continued. "Before Rob Lucci came along, I was the most powerful member of the CP9."
"So you used to be a member of the CP9…" Marth said. "No wonder you know the Rokushiki…"
"CP? I've never heard of that," Asuna said.
"No surprise," CF told her. "The CP9 is a group of assassins working for the government. Information on them is kept from the public, so only people who work in the government and military knows of their existence. During the Alias Lobby incident which I'm sure you all know, we battled the CP9, and I can assure you that they are some of the toughest opponents we've ever faced in our lives."
"I used to be the strongest member of the CP9, and I always liked to be best in everything I do," Kitty explained. "However, a newcomer named Lucci showed up one day and proved himself to be superior to me. My Douriki was three points lower than his."
"Three points difference… That's not much difference…" Marth said to himself. "What's Douriki anyway?"
"I challenged him to see who was the strongest, and though it was a very close and intense match, I ultimately lost to him. Seeing that I was no longer the strongest, I saw no more reason to stay in the group anymore, and thus I resigned from the CP9."
"If you are weaker than Lucci, I should be able to deal with you no problem!" CF claimed. "After all, I was the one who defeated him!"
"Do you seriously think that I have been doing nothing to improve myself during all these years?" Kitty asked. "I have been training myself to the extreme to continue being the strongest, and I dare say that I am at a level that far surpasses Lucci already. Just because you've defeated him does not mean you can beat me."
"You're very full of yourself, aren't you? Want to try it out now?"
"I will show you the difference in strength between us both. You will know how powerless you are before me."
"That guy said similar things to me, and he ended up losing! You can keep the last laugh for yourself until you actually manage to win!" CF charged at him again and did a shoulder tackle, but Kitty used Sora to zip out of the way. CF immediately spun around to hit him with a roundhouse kick but Kitty leaped out of the way and attacked with Rankyakyu. CF quickly dodged the attack and then Marth ran to Kitty to attack him.
"Shield Breaker!"
"Tekkai!" Kitty hardened his body and the slashing attack was useless against him. Marth continued to jab and slash him, but no matter how hard he attacked him, he could not scratch Kitty's body at all. Kitty then zipped behind him and thrust his finger at him to attack with Shigan. Marth quickly rolled aside and barely avoided the attack, but Kitty kicked him with his leg immediately afterwards and Marth was kicked to the ground. "Rankyaku!" Kitty fired another wind blade at him and Marth barely had time to block it was cut slightly in the arm.
"Ah!"
"Take this!" CF leaped at Kitty from behind and swung a fist, but Kitty used Tekkai to block the impact, and then he grabbed CF by that arm and swung him away onto the floor forcefully, though he managed to recover by rolling. CF immediately kicked off the floor at him again and threw an uppercut that Kitty avoided by bending back, and then he lifted up his leg and kicked CF in the chin and knocked him high up into the air. "Gah!" While CF was still in the air, Kitty leaped above him and then slammed down his leg onto his face and sent him crashing back down onto the floor.
CRAAAAAASH!!!!
"What the?! Even Captain Falcon is no match for him?!" Kotaro said in shock.
"How powerful is that guy?!" Asuna asked.
"Pitiful weakling," Kitty said harshly.
"Not bad," Eva commented. "How about try picking on someone who actually has skills, like me?"
"I have no time to play with little girls like you," Kitty said to her.
"Little girl, you say? I'll show you that I'm not the little girl that you think I am!" Then almost in a blink of an eye, Eva appeared in front of Kitty and threw a punch at him.
"Kamie!" Kitty quickly sidestepped and avoided the blow. Eva turned to him and gave him a kick but Kitty avoided it by bending his body backwards.
"Stand still!" Eva shouted. She kept on trying to punch and hit him over and over, but Kitty's body swayed around like a flimsy piece of stick and managed to avoid single blow.
Chachamaru rushed at Kitty and launched her right fist at his face. Kitty quickly hardened his body and took the blow to his face unharmed at all, and at the same time Eva landed a punch into his abdomen, only to end up hurting her fist. "Ow! What the heck?!" she cried.
Before Chachamaru had the chance to pull back her fist, Kitty grabbed the fist and then yanked her forward and slammed his own fist into her face and sent her crashing backwards and her right hand was torn off in the process.
CRASH!!
Eva was going to attack him again, but before she could do anything, Kitty caught her in the face and lifted her up, and then using one finger, Kitty stabbed her in the body over and over multiple times, boring several holes on her before hurling her away.
"EVA!!!!" gasped the others.
"Ugh… Dammit…" she cried. She slowly stood back up and miraculously enough, the bloody holes on her body started to heal itself until she returned to perfect condition. "Thanks goodness for my immortality… I admit that you are quite something, but if I can use my magic, you're done for!"
"Enough of this," Kitty said sternly. "I do not want to waste anymore time fighting pathetic weaklings like you." He turned to Negi and said, "Time to end this!"
"You're not going anywhere near him!" Asuna shouted. "Adeat!" She got out her Pactio card and transformed it into the paper fan and ran up to him, but Kitty stretched out his hand and caught her by the arm and flung her away. "Ah!"
"Asuna!" Negi gasped.
"Give me your blood!" Kitty said. He rushed up to Negi and was about to jab him using his finger when suddenly CF threw a punch into his face from the side.
POW!!!!
"Enough of this!!!" CF shouted angrily.
Kitty slid back from the punch and recovered, and he was showing an annoyed expression already. "Such an annoyance!"
"You guys get out of here first!" CF shouted to Negi and his students. "I'll deal with him!"
"Nobody is getting out of here!" Major Burrows said. He had filled up the hole on the wall once again.
"Then I'll cut down the wall!" Marth said. He charged for the wall but Kitty appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye and punched him away in the body. "Gah!"
"Why you?!" CF charged at Kitty again and threw another punch that he managed to avoid.
Marth got back up and ran up to Kitty and thrust his sword at him. Kitty spun around and caught his sword by the blade and pulled it off his hand before punching him the body again. "Gah!"
CF angrily threw another punch at him and Kitty countered with his own punch and both their fists clashed against each other really hard and literally released a shockwave. CF then started punching against the air rapidly to hit him but Kitty use Kamie to dodge every single hit. "Dammit! I have enough!" CF shouted. "Falcon Punch!"
"Tekkai!" Kitty hardened his body to defend himself, but when THE punch came in contact with his body, he felt slight pain and slid back from the impact. "Ngh!"
"Haha! How'd you like that?" CF asked him.
"I have to admit that did hurt a bit," Kitty said. "However, the difference between our overall strength is still big. I am the strongest follower of the boss, so there is no way the likes of you can defeat me!"
"That's what you say, but Emonicus is actually as powerful as you," Amee claimed. "Perhaps even stronger if he gets serious."
"Emonicus is strong, but he is still weaker than me," Kitty said. "I am the strongest in the group and it is undeniable, especially when I use the power of my Devil Fruit!" After saying this, Kitty's body started to change form and he even grew in size.
"What the?! He's changing form!" Chamo said in shock.
"Devil Fruit?!" CF said, surprised.
Everyone looked at Kitty with shocked expressions as the anthropomorphic cat started to undergo mutation. When he was done transforming, he now sported features similar to that of a canine and he was also much larger in size and his skin color also became darker, though it's a wonder that his clothing wasn't torn, but rather grew to fit his current figure. "I have the power of the Inu Inu Fruit: Model Doberman!" he explained.
"Wait a minute! A cat transforming into a dog?!" Chisame said. "Where's the sense in that?!"
-
"The cat transformed into a dog…?" Nodoka read out loud from her Pactio artifact.
"What…?" Haruna said in confusion.
"That's what was in Negi sensei's mind…"
-
"This is basically the incident in Great Tech City all over again…" Marth said.
"Brings back bad memories…" CF said.
"Enough wasting time," Kitty said in new form. "Time to put an end to this! Tekkai Impact!" He hardened his body and then slammed down his fist onto the floor incredibly hard and a crack spread throughout the whole place and shook everyone to his or her knees.
While Negi was trying to retain his balance, Kitty used Soru to get behind him. "Give me your blood," he said, and then he slammed all five fingers onto his back really.
SMAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!
"AAAAAAAH!!!" The powerful blow to the back not only tore through his skin, but also made him cough out blood and everyone was horrified. Kitty swiped a small container threw the air and caught some of the blood inside it.
"This amount should be enough," Kitty said, holding up the small container that was about a few centimeters tall.
"Good going, Kitty!" MB said. "Now let's get out of here and return to the boss at once! He'll be glad to know this!"
"Right, I have enough of wasting my time with you people," Kitty said. "Let us make our leave now."
Asuna quickly ran up to Negi who was still bleeding and held him up in concern. "Are you all right?"
"He may be able to live, as long as he is strong enough," Kitty said.
Asuna glared at him with eyes of extreme anger and said, "How dare you?!" Then her paper fan suddenly transformed into the large metal sword that was originally shown on the card.
"Asuna sis's harisen fan transformed into the sword at last!" Chamo exclaimed.
"YOU WILL PAY!!!" She shouted at the top of her voice. Lifting the sword overhead her, she slammed it down with full force, but Kitty escape the attack using Soru and got behind her. "Huh?" Before she could turn around, he gave a punch so strong to her back that she crashed forward and coughed out blood. "YAH!!"
"Damn you!!!! Howling Knuckle!" He jumped at Kitty with his arm pulled back and he threw it forward a fist full of spiritual energy slammed into his body really hard, but Kitty used Tekkai to soften the impact. He grabbed Kotaro by his face afterwards and then slammed him very hard onto the floor. "YAH!"
SLAM!!!
"Look, jerk! You're getting too far with this already!" Eva shouted. "You're asking for it!" She dashed up in front of him in a blink of an eye to punch him. Kitty easily dodged the move with Soru and reappeared at the side of the warp pipe.
"Let us make our leave now," Kitty said. "Petey, Burrows, and Slime Sisters, let's all go now."
"As you say so," the Slime Sisters said, and they oozed away from Chisame's body, allowing her to move again and went down the warp pipe after Kitty left, and MB and Petey quickly followed closely behind.
"You're not getting anywhere!" Eva shouted. She ran to the warp pipe but it sank back into the floor, leaving behind no trace of anything. "Damn! They got away!"
The other girls ran up to Negi and held him up by the shoulder. "Negi sensei! Are you all right?" Konoka asked her. "Quick! I must heal you before three minutes is up!" She quickly used her Pactio to take out her magic artifacts and healed his wounds. Luckily the wounds weren't considered too fatal, so Negi was able to recover.
"Thanks…" he said. "I'm so sorry… I was useless… I couldn't protect anyone… at all…"
"Don't say that, sensei!" Setsuna said to him. "We're all still alive, and that's what matters. But we have to take the Misa, Sakurako, and Madoka to treatment at once!"
SMASH!
They were surprised by the sound of the smashing and saw that CF had punched down the stone wall out of anger. "That goddamn cat bastard!" he said angrily. "You're not going to get away with this!"
TO BE CONTINUED
The situation sure is serious here. I'm glad that this chapter turned out very well. Yeah, one can say that it's almost like the scenario in Armageddon: The Corruption and Kitty is basically a clone of Lucci. But still, I like how this chapter turned out and it will give you a good idea on how powerful their opponents will be.
Robirdo is from Super Mario Advance, Mega Titan is from Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, and Garuken is that trash can boss from Mario & Luigi 3. Garuken is the Japanese name, and I had to use it because the English name is still unknown. I also used his Boss Rush color scheme here as his default color scheme is pink, which I find strange and unfitting.
