Chapter 19: Youkai Battle + Vampire Part 1
Disclaimer: I do not own Rosario + Vampire. I twisted the author's storyline into my own imagination. If violence is an offence to you, please do not read this!
The lich raised his blade in the air and charged, followed by the goblins, ghouls, and gremlins. Murotsu held his staff in the air and waved it toward the enemy.
"Attack!" Murotsu called. He, Tsukune, and the ground assault charged at the enemy. The goblins came running with their pikes in the air. The gremlins began to descend toward the ground assault. Kurumu flew up in the air toward the approaching gremlins. She sharpened her claws and spun in a circle creating a slicing tornado dicing the gremlins into many pieces. Other flying monsters from the ground assault rose up into the air and clashed with the gremlins. Mizore summoned her ice dolls to do her bidding to fight off the goblins.
Inner Moka jumped in the air and spun kick that creates a shockwave sending many goblins flying. Murotsu lifted his staff unleashing a streak of blue flames, killing many of the ghouls. He tried his best to concentrate on eliminating the ghouls first because they were overpowering many of the monsters from the ground assault. Tsukune was running beside him, helping him kill off any ghouls he saw. Gin and Nazere were right beside each other and pouncing on the goblins. Ruby watched the battle raged between the ground assault and the enemy army. She then glanced up in the air and saw many gremlins flying past Kurumu and her allies.
"The goblins coming, desu!" yelled Yukari. And indeed they were. While half of the enemy was fighting, the other half ran around and headed straight toward the Youkai academy. Most of the enemies were goblins. Ruby and Yukari raised their wands and combined their magic to create a "Magic Devil spell." A large crow was formed and began to descend toward a portion of the giant mob of goblins. Many of the goblins fell but there were still more of them approaching.
They came closer while the gremlins from above are descending toward the balcony. Fong then summoned a giant rock golem in front of the approaching mob. The giant beast swung its massive fists at the goblins, sending them flying and forcing them to back up. It was able to hold them off until the lich came. The lich saw what was going on and thrust his powerful blade at the golem. The weapon struck and destroyed the stony monster into smithereens. Ruby, Yukari, and Fong gasped in horror.
"It's that strong? This must be a general," said Ruby.
"How do you know that?" asked Fong.
"Obviously, it's leading the army," she answered.
"Do you have any monsters that can combat that thing?" asked Yukari.
"Not really. That was the only monster that I have that I can control. Another problem is that my summoning power gets used up after one monster is being summoned. The powers can't come back until two hours is up," cried Fong.
"Oh great. Desu," sighed Yukari sweat-dropping.
"I seriously doubt we can last for two hours," said Ririko gazing at the approaching enemy. Ruby grabbed the loudspeaker and began to speak to the students inside.
"Everybody attack the enemy and show them no mercy!" yelled Ruby, through the loudspeaker. The goblins were already past the gates when the lich broke through it. A few goblins grabbed their ladders and set them slantwise toward the balcony. The students transformed and engaged with the enemy. Finally the students and the goblins began to clash.
Ruby was not using her wand right now but her naginata, given to her during the training to kill off the approaching gremlins. Yukari summoned a spell to rain metal pots from the sky. The metal pots again did the same effect as the catapults did but was not strong enough to hold the attackers. The goblins came close to the two double doors of the Youkai Academy.
"Brace the entrance!" yelled Ruby. Saizo, Kozo, Bazaburo, and Kubisaku were in their monster forms and held the door shut. The goblins roared and began pounding the doors and jabbing it with their pikes.
"Fong! Yukari! Go down and help defend the academy!" yelled Ruby as she sliced off a gremlin's wing and pushed him off the balcony. Yukari and Fong nodded and hurried down the stairs toward the entrance. Fong drew his coined sword while Yukari grabbed out her wand. They both stood right behind Saizo and the three fan boys. The rest of the students were already in their monster forms and waited for the goblins to break through.
On the battlefield, bodies were lying on the ground belonging to many monster students, goblins, ghouls, and gremlins. Tsukune looked up after killing another ghoul. There were still too many enemies. He glanced around him. Murotsu, Moka, Kurumu, Mizore, Nazere, Gin, and about 300 monsters students are surrounded by 8,000 more grunts. Just 300 students? Most of the students from the ground assault team must have been killed.
"Guys, I kind of doubt we can win this battle," said Gin. His mouth was drooling with saliva.
"I haven't seen Soku or your uncle on the battlefield, Murotsu-senpai," said Kurumu.
"I don't think I would be able to battle Soku. Too many of them are standing in the way," said Tsukune sadly, clutching his tired wings.
"If we are going to die, we shall die fighting," said Murotsu, holding his staff and his double bladed weapon.
"Couldn't you resurrect the other student with your spell? We need a little more back up," said Mizore.
"It only works for one person and my energy and power would be drained after I used it," answered Murotsu breathlessly.
"Then we will have to take as many of those grunts with us. All of them should know their place," said Inner Moka in her fight stance.
"I never like fighting. These goblins never gave me a break," barked Nazere, breathing heavily.
"No one told me that this battle would be easy," said Tsukune with tired arms.
As the grunts came closer there was a loud female voice from above.
"Who said that it is not going to be easy?" it asked.
Tsukune looked up and recognized a voice. Hiyata was hovering over the remaining ground assault team along with Kokoa and Koumori.
"Kokoa, you're back!" said Inner Moka with a smile.
"And we are not the only people that returned," said the griffin.
Everyone including the grunts glanced in the west. An army of men in purple suits came running toward them. In front of them were the Four Kings that Tsukune and the girls recognized.
"Moka-sama! We heard you guys were in trouble!" cried Zashiki in a shrill small voice.
"You guys came just in time!" called Tsukune.
"Let us handle these losers," said Awa, raising his humongous fists in the air and smashing them on the ground launching goblins skyward.
"Let's give them a taste of hell," Sanuki said unleashing a streak of flames at the goblins.
"Now's our chance to escape and find Soku!" said Murotsu. He grabbed his giant double bladed weapon and thrust it toward the goblins. The weapon spun like a fan, slicing through the line of goblins, ghouls, and gremlins. It formed a pathway for them to escape. Murotsu's weapon boomeranged back at him.
The grunts were too distracted and concentrated on clashing with the Monster Business army. The remaining ground assault team was able to escape and fight back. Tossa, the masked leader, came up to Inner Moka and bowed to her.
"Awaiting your orders, commander," said Tossa with a bow.
"The Youkai academy is being invaded," said Inner Moka, glancing back at the school. Thousands of goblins were climbing onto the school and breaking through windows. "Hurry and bring half of your men to help my friends in there."
"Right away!" barked Tossa and ordered his men toward the Youkai Academy.
"I'm gonna go and assist Ruby-san too," said Gin, running toward the invaded Youkai Academy.
"Alright Gin," said Murotsu.
"Good luck Gin!" said Tsukune.
Gin bounded away. As Tsukune and his friends began to search through the woods but found no trace of the enemy leaders. In a little while they saw a mobile cargo vehicle driven by a few goblins toward the Youkai Academy.
"What is that thing?" asked Tsukune.
"I'm not sure. But it looks like some sort of cargo truck and it's heading towards," said Mizore.
"Look!" shouted Kurumu pointing at the cargo. Inside the truck were a bunch of purple glowing orbs.
"Those look like explosives. I believe that they are trying to blow up the school so they can destroy the seal. We must destroy this thing right now," said Murotsu.
"What you see is a weapon of great power and destruction, my nephew" came a deep voice from above.
Yuroku appeared with his staff in his hand with Gyokuro and his three guardians. Murotsu glared at his uncle with animosity.
"Uncle," he whispered.
"The explosives were also created from the remaining power of the Rosario that will destroy the school," said Yuroku. "Once the school has been destroyed, the human world shall fall into the hands of the demonic realm."
"We also expected you to show up here, Tsukune," said Gyokuro. She then glanced at Inner Moka. "My, my. It looks like you brought me a treat as well.
"You..." glared Moka at her stepmother.
"There is a reason to destroy those filthy humans and you as a bonus," laughed Gyokuro. "You are just like your mother, Moka. No I am here for revenge!"
"You will pay for freeing our prisoners, Chosen. You have humiliated us in front of master Soku for the last time," said Surazi. Giant wings began to sprout out of her back. Her hair has suddenly changed into a large mane and her face slowly formed a lion's face. Her two other heads sprouted out: a goat and a snake. Her monster form is a Chimera.
At the same time, two other heads began to sprout on her shoulders, a goat's head on her left and a dragon's head on her right. From behind came out a snake with half of its body exposed as a tail. She was revealed to be a Chimera. Yakuma spread her giant wings and transformed into a demonic hellbat. Ushia's hands turn into giant claws and multiple monstrous dragon-like heads emerged from her body. Her true identity was indeed a hydra.
"Let's do this everyone," said Tsukune, grabbing his katanas and marched toward Yuroku.
"No," said Murotsu, grabbing him by the arm. "Yuroku is mine. He and I have business to take care of. Your power is needed to stop this machine and Soku."
"You go after them and destroy the weapon. We will hold off these losers," said Moka, punching and kicking at Gyokuro. Tsukune watched as Murotsu took on Yuroku, Moka on Gyokuro, Kurumu on Yakuma, Mizore on Ushia, and Nazere on Surazi. He then ran toward the cargo vehicle and hopped on top of it. He grabbed his katanas and sliced through the windows. The goblins came out and attacked Tsukune.
Tsukune slashed and killed all of the goblins and the one that controlled it but the machine did not stop. Tsukune whirled around the cockpit to shut it down. He glanced at the keys hanging in the ignition keyhole and tried to disconnect them but the keys were stuck. The vehicle continued to accelerate moved toward the school. Tsukune anxiously pulled at the keys but it was no use.
"I can't call for help. Everyone is too far away and they can't hear me," he thought to himself. He knew that if he doesn't stop the vehicle the Youkai academy would fall along with his home world. Tsukune grabbed his two katanas and stabbed at the engine. The engine was as strong as steel that it broke his two katanas.
Tsukune then transformed into his ghoul form and blast out of the vehicle. He ran in front of the vehicle and stood in position to stop the vehicle with his bare hands. Once the vehicle came closer he pushed against it with all his might but it was too heavy.
The explosive cargo truck came closer and closer to the school. Tsukune pushed harder and harder. Sweat began to drip down his face. His feet sank into the ground as the truck was pushing him toward the school. Tsukune's tired arms began to burn and roared as he tried to stop the truck. Then suddenly the vehicle stopped. Tsukune opened his eyes. The truck was still running but it was not moving forward.
He glanced to his right and left and saw two vampires taking hold of the vehicle. They saved him from getting sandwiched by the truck to the school and getting blown up. Tsukune recognized the two vampires. Akua and Kahlua. He then looked up and saw Issa standing on top of the truck.
"Tsukune-kun, let us handle this thing," shouted Issa.
"The school is still in danger and you must find Soku!" grunted Kahlua as she was holding the moving vehicle.
"Hurry and save us!" cried Akua.
Tsukune smiled and nodded. He leapt out and set to look for Soku. While he was gone, Issa jumped in front of the vehicle and grabbed hold of the front of the truck. Akua and Kahlua did the same thing and all three of them heaved the heavy vehicle and thrust it in the air away from the school. Akua leapt into the air and diced the vehicle with her Jigen-Tou technique to disconnect the box of magical explosives from the truck and descended back down to the ground. Issa fired a blue beam from his hand at the box while Kahlua fired hers from her wings. The box of explosives then exploded in the air and the debris rained down on the battlefield.
"Come my daughters. Let's help Tsukune defeat those goblins and gremlins," Commanded Issa. Akua and Kahlua obeyed and all three of them joined the fight against the forces of darkness.
