The following is a non-profit fan-written story. Demon King Daimao and its characters are not owned by me, it's owned by Shotaro Mizuki, Artland, and Sentai Filmworks. Support the official release.

Author's Note:

More build-up and some interesting attempts of humor built in. Developing the characters will be pretty fun , as there won't be any cheesy dark backstories and it's not gonna be overdramatic

Also, this might also make some people hate on me, but no, this doesn't take place in Japan. I haven't really thought of where it should take place, but a side of me thinks it could take place in the Midwest or Northeast…yeah, that's pretty cheesy, but try to live with it.

Chapter 3: Plans

Lily slowly wakes up from her bed in her dorm room; feeling a bit bruised by the attack of the previous day, but is able to stand without limping.

"5 AM…well, damn. Once again, I wake up early on a Saturday. Really hate that habit… guess this means playing some GTA4 would help."

As she turns the 360 on, she starts thinking.

"I didn't quite use my full strength yesterday…guess I must have underestimated him too much. However, it's been bothering me that somehow I've kept secret on where my powers come from…should this be the time I could tell them…? I'll do it when I'm ready."

"Hm, no one online…Niko time, then…"

An hour later, Keena wakes up in her bed, and tries to stretch, but realizes she's still slightly hurt. "Owie, owie, damn, owie!", she sighs, but quickly shows determination. "At least I'm not going emotional. Hm…I should probably visit Lily." She then takes a look at a clock and is a bit dumbfounded. "I woke up that early? Would she still be awake…perhaps, seeing as maybe she's still at the job? Gonna figure it out, then.", she says with a cute smile on her face."

She then wears a green Quicksilver shirt and a jean skirt, wearing Nike shoes. "Weekends for the win!"

Keena then closes the door, walking around the hallway.

"If there's one thing I learned from the fight from yesterday, it's this; it can hurt a bit. Me, Lily and Michie barely got hurt from that attack from months ago, but it now feels like we faced some sort of supernatural movie monster…and it's only one of probably more fights, at the way this is going, with CIM08 probably returning…Lily should probably know about that. Hopefully, the rest of the students won't be scared of my bandages."

She stands in front of a door of a dorm room. "So this must be her room…lucky she told me about it before going to sleep." She knocks the door three times, and then Lily opens it up and says "Keena? You have the sleeping effect too, huh?"

"Eh-heh-heh…" she then notices Lily's only wearing a blue tank top and white panties, and questions, "I never really…imaged you letting yourself loose."

"Oh, come on, we're only girls. The only thing I'm worried about are my hips and thighs…guess my diet doesn't respect me. Anyways, come on in."

Keena then laughs a bit as she enters the room, "Not a bad room. Is this like an advantage of being School Council President?"

"Not really, just lucky, I guess. Michie's room is a bit more similar, just more movie posters. You see, some of my council friends are also in clubs. Michie's in a film club, Kanna's involved in gymnastics, and Arnoul's involved in a music club, and is even a drummer on a band."

"No way! How do they sound like?"

"Erm…if you heard of mathcore, you might immediately know."

"Mathcore? Oh, so the lyrics involve math stuff like algebra, calculus and chaos theory?"

"No, lyrics like those would be too complex for anyone."

"Oh. Well, maybe we can check on your buddies! Let's check Michie first."

"Well, it could take a while, as she's a heavy sleeper."

As if on cue, Michie opens the door, already all clothered, with a Zooyork shirt and black skirt and says, "Were you talking about me? 'Cause, you know, super hearing, guys."

Keena then gives her a quick high-five and says, "Michie, new buddy of mine, what's up?"

Michie then responds awkwardly "Wow, never knew I could hear such a phrase."

"Too odd?"

Michie then chuckles, "No, no, I'm just that sarcastic on everything sometimes; guess it's an effect from my reviews."

"I think I remember hearing a review from you not too long ago…some film called The Apparition."

Lily then chuckles and says "I think Michie has the whole audio review on her iTouch. You should probably hear it."

Michie then giggles, finding her iTouch "It's one of my own personal favorites, next to Battleship, The Watch and Piranha 3DD. Including the last one, which basically had other students thinking I was watching a stoner flick."

Keena nods and says "Let's hear it again, then!"

Michie then finds the audio and presses it, causing to transcribe the following:

"Hey, fellow Constan Magic Academy Michie Otake here again to review another movie, and BOY, do I have a stinker for you. It's "The Apparition", also known as "Warner Bros. wasting almost $20 million for no real reason. And starring a Twilight actress, nonetheless. It's not even stupidly bad, not even MST3K worthy…okay maybe that latter statement may not be entirely true, but it's like clichés crapping clichés crapping even more clichés, if that's even possible. Everything else is pretty damn boring, too. My hair is more lively then the visuals of this movie. Instead, heed to my Premium Rush review from yesterday; Wiley's imagine spots, Michael Shannon, and Sudoku Man. On the meantime, avoid this, and I think "House At The End Of The Street", too. It's kind of the same movie anyways. Instead, pre-order "The Cabin In The Woods", and enjoy it over and over cause it's "The Cabin in The Woods". Michie out, peace!"

Michie then crosses her arms, quite pleased with it. "And no, reviewing isn't that easy."

Keena chuckles, "A film critic who has vampire powers? Seems too good to be made up."

Lily, after dressing up, wearing a blue White Rabbits shirt and blue pants then replies, "Even through the summer season, she still records some through online."

"Must be a bit problematic."

Michie chuckles, "Nah, it's no sweat."

Lily nods, "I'll see if Yumi's awake, and see if she can understand the situation. See you in a bit.", then closes the door.

"'Kay!", Michie then turns to Keena, "Kinda funny how such a day can make a difference to you. Sure you didn't already punch someone else in the face before?"

Keena then twiddles her thumbs for a bit, "Not really…"

"Think like the Crank series of on days like those. Only you don't get poisoned, die, then somehow live, get your immortal heart replaced by an artificial heart and tons of violent hijinks ensures."

A brief pause happens, and then Keena laughs, "That's a little too over the top."

"Heh, heh, couldn't help it."

"Say, could you tell me how you got your powers? I keep forgetting if you actually are part vampire."

"Okay, recap; no I'm not a real vampire, just vampire powers, I don't suck blood, but I do have a nice-looking fang, and, well, my interest in vampires started when I saw my Dad, who was also a bit of a vampire fanatic as well. Interestingly, I thought I wouldn't be interested, but I already did have a fascination of bats."

"You went to a zoo or something?"

"Before it, yeah. Raised in Philadelphia, I saw one of these little guys and I wanted to try to pet them."

"That could probably explain it. Raised that way is my guess.

"And your powers?"

"Well, get this: the book my Dad gave me had some sort of odd Latin saying on the last page in tiny print that said "Lamia potentias, accipietis.", roughly meaning "Vampire powers, ye shall receive.", which is odd…"

"Because this book might have been used by someone else who might have vampire powers, too?"

"No, it's just that…who says "ye" anymore? So old school."

Keena then nervously chuckles, "It was different times."

"Anyways, I said it out loud and some weird rays spread around me, and then I passed out. Next thing you know, I have fangs, bats are around me and-"

"Your hair changed color to pink?"

"No, it has always been my color, anyways, all that plus some more hidden powers that even I'm not sure how I can do it, but regardless, it's actually pretty cool, going as far as planning to name my lovely bats."

"Cool that you got accepted for it!"

"Well, it was kept sort of secret…only this whole Academy knows it, but not my parents. The Academy is pretty secretive on ones who already have powers. Nonetheless, it's quite a relief."

"Wonder if Lily's parents know about it…"

"That's a question for another day. Hm…perhaps we should check on Kanna. Think I'll mess with her for a bit…", then chuckles evilly.

"You're not gonna harm her, right?"

"No…", replied Michie back. A couple of minutes later, they're in Kanna's room, as Kanna is drooling in her sleep, snoring. "Of course, drooling again."

"Do you keep a streak of it?"

"I would, but…no, that's just wrong, you know. Let's see what I could do…"

"I'm not exactly a master of pranking, but there's always the classic wet Willie."

"No, I'm just gonna reference a film series she hates."

"That's…kinda unusual, but also kinda cool in a way,"

Michie clears her throat and tells this close to Kanna's ear, "Paul W.S Anderson lied; he'll make 4 more dumb Resident Evil movies to piss us off once more."

Kanna screams and rolls out of the bed, as Michie laughs, "Overacting, much?"

"I don't care if Alice is meant to represent kick-ass females, she's a friggin' Mary Sue, so it's somehow insulting!"

"Yeah, they're bad, but fun in some parts."

"Also, you made me wake up early…"

"Seems right on time to me. And besides, you look hefty and rested."

"I'll just dress up…"

Keena then pokes Michie on her shoulder, "You do this every day?"

"Not always.", says Michie as Kanna tries to pull up her jeans, but then falls and exclaims, "Gadzooks…"

Meanwhile, Lily is in the nurse's office, checking to see where Yumi is."Let's see how this convo goes…Yumi, you—what the…", as it turns out, Yumi's missing from her bed. "Gotta tell Mitsuko…!"

She then runs to Mitsuko's personal office, noticing she's asleep on the floor. "Is she knocked out…?", she tries shaking her body and yelling "Hey!", but it doesn't work as she sighs. "If you feel this, just remember that it was the only way.", as she slaps her.

Mitsuko then slowly opens her eyes. "Wh-what just happened?"

"You fell asleep and Yumi's missing!"

"What?! But wait a minute…I didn't suddenly sleep…maybe...there was something in my water…"

Lily then notices the glass of water nearby, and notices the microphobic remnants of sleeping pills and mutters, "Damn…!", as she and Mitsuko leave the office, but they both notice that Yumi is back on her bed.

Mitsuko then says, "Wait a minute, but she's there now…"

Yumi is seen reading the novel "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", as she looks up to the both of them, with a notable bruise on her right cheek, raising her eyebrows. "Is there something bothering you two?"

"No, it's just that Lily thought you left and…"

Lily then interrupts, "You didn't notice anything suspicious around here?"

Yumi responds back, "No, I only went to the bathroom."

Mitsuko then sapped her fingers, "Oh, so that's it! Lily, you shouldn't worry me like that. Jumping to conclusions isn't healthy for the brain."

Lily then says, "Yeah, my bad…I'm gonna talk with her for a bit, if you please."

"Sure, you two be careful on your conversation.", Mitsuko then leaves, returning to her personal office.

Yumi then decides to stop reading the novel and Lily then seats in a chair, as Yumi starts, saying, "You may be the Student Council President and all, but I got to ask…but what is up with that shirt? White Rubbish?"

"White Rabbits. I really like the band, I mean "Percussion Gun" is quite the awesome song and all—wait a minute, that's not the point, I'm here to talk about the whole Keena incident."

"Oh, that. I admit…it's like I asked for it. Maybe a slap, maybe a stomach punch, but to charge me and then get it straight to the damn face? Hardcore."

"You're in the Academy, Yumi, you shouldn't make such comments. This isn't elementary school anymore, it's the real deal."

"It boosts my confidence. Not to mention I'm popular with my fellow students. I make boys dream to sleep with me and even more girls dream even more to sleep with me. You know how popularity works here."

"Well, thankfully, that doesn't happen for me. Like I said, though, don't get cocky and just focus, because it might hit your grades sooner or later. It's not like my Lebanon will speak your name."

"That's funny, because I now have had 2 exams as of this semester's beginning and they've been flawless."

"Well, what about Keena?"

"Oh, her? I would give her credit for risking her life up for such a punch, but either, way, she's not exactly still fulfilling. I will, however, ease up on the insults, I guess."

"I'm gonna warn you; she could do it again."

"I might stand this time, thank you very much."

"Hrm. You'll return to class first thing Monday."

"Yes, ma'am. I'll guarantee not to fail you."

"Hm, good. You'll be a bit better from now on, then."

Lily then leaves, as Yumi resumes reading, after a few minutes pass, however, she has a Student Handbook hidden in the one of the pages, opens it up, and by using its default option, using telepathy, contacts someone.

The mysterious voice responds, "Nice work getting the explosives and hiding them fast for me. Maybe I should have timed that shit out."

"Oh, cousin of mine, you always find a way to humor me."

"It might take a while, but on the meantime, I sended off 5 of our people to make as a small message that we're not extinguished."

Yumi smiles evilly, "Brilliant. It's gonna be a party to die for in about a week or so's time."

"Call you later."

"Ta-ta for now."

As she hangs up, she resumes reading. "I think we're like Lisbeth and Mikael…wait, we're cousins and not investigating a possible murder mystery…that's just wrong."

Meanwhile, back inside the Academy, Keena, Michie and Kanna are all on the hallway. Kanna's wearing a yellow Sleigh Bells shirt and a jean skirt.

Keena gasps, "A permanent magic accident?"

Kanna nervously giggles, "How I got 'em, yeah, but unlike Michie, I never really had an interest in dogs. Not any pet I would know. I was born and raised in Florida, where much of my family line was also born, and my childhood wasn't really anything special."

Michie raises an eyebrow, "Let me guess, you got to go to certain major theme parks, huh?"

"Oh, don't start. It was when I was 12, and after hearing about the Magic Academy, I wanted to try magical tricks, however, as much as I wanted to, I had to practice, and you can say that sort of did me in. I wanted to try a trick that could turn me into something pretty mean and lean, but what I didn't know what that those words meant that it would be permanent unless an elixir could be found. I ended up turning as a wolf, but I can also sort of turn myself into human, except...well, I'm also left with all this fur."

Keena frowns a bit, "Must have been really unfortunate…"

"It's okay. I got some pretty high energy, y'know, which is why I pretty much want to be an athlete, maybe compete in the Olympics! I'm also quite the ferocious attacker."

"You take a bite outta crime!", Keena responded, then laughs. All of a sudden, all their Student Handbooks begin to glow, as they then pick them up and respond to the caller, being Lily, who's currently outside the nurse's office.

"Girls, something's up. Michie, Kanna, go outside and be on the lookout. Another attack could be imminent."

Michie then grunts, "R-right…"

"Keena, stay on full alert in the Academy. I predict there could be a possible traitor in the Academy."

Keena then gasps, "Again? Just like earlier in the year…"

"No time to stand around, so everybody be careful…yesterday was only a fraction of the beginning."

As they hang up, Keena begins drawing a serious look, "Two days in a row…at this rate, we're gonna need a barrier for the whole Academy."

Michie chuckles, "That sounded semi-serious."

"Well…sort of…after yesterday, when it comes to moments like these, I'm ready to fight, and that's not a joke."

"Hells yeah!", Kanna responded, then starts to run, "C'mon Michie, we're on duty!"

"Yeah, yeah. Okay, Keena, just watch out for anything suspicious. Sort of a protector for the moment. Good luck!", said Michie as she follows Kanna.

Keena takes a deep breath, "Protector for the moment…think I'll heavily consider it! Hm…don't know if I can interrogate people like cops do…guess I can just-"

She then hears some running footsteps from behind as a figure slowly appears, as Keena turns around, the male, wearing a Dropkick Murphys shirt and long jean pants then stops close to her, panting.

"What the…you look like you're running away from someone."

"There's a guy who wants to kick my ass! I discovered him doing something suspicious, and…we need to run like hell!"

"O-okay…!", she responded back as she grabs his hand and they begin to run.

"H-hey, you look familiar…you Keena Soga?"

"Y-yes, how do you know?"

"Saw you punching that bimbo yesterday! That was gnarly! I even said that you have ovaries!"

"W-wow…guess I have a pretty notable witness! What's your name, fellow student?"

"Gavin Miranda."

"As if it wasn't adventurous enough, I found a fellow student that would change my life even more, not only because it looked like he respect me, but also…we're to become important for each other. Little did I know that I also have found legitimate love."
