Death Walks Again
I do not own Rosario+Vampire or Darksiders. I own only Nyxaros Yami/Death II.
Author's Note: Alright, I've gotten several negative reviews regarding my OC. It's cool though, I don't care either way. This is not my best work and was not my story idea, I don't care if you dislike my OC. I wrote this for me and the person who's idea it was. Now if you would like to continue reading please do. I've decide to make a few changes from my original ideas for it. I'd like to focus not only on Nyx's journey to reclaim his powers, but also the complexities of daily teenage life. Something that not even the Nephilim knows how to handle. I've also been on the fence as to who will be Nyx's Destined One, Moka now has a decent shot, not great but decent. If I were to skip over Nyx's romantic escapades, it would detract from how the Council will use his new found feelings to manipulate him. Please read and review.
Chapter 2- A Human, a Horseman, A Vampire, A Witchling, And A Succubus Walk Into A Bar
"I still don't understand why we had to use Alucard's flesh to craft a body for the Pale Rider. Why could we not have simply made him a human body?" asked the Second.
"We have been through this already, as a human he would have no chance to train his fighting abilities. Also, his body would have been unable to contain the power of the Horsemen if we had made him human. His body would've destroyed itself the second his Horseman abilities were restored to him." said the Third tiredly, the Second continued to question their Judgment on this .
"I concur, a Shinso is one of the only monsters with a body capable of containing the soul and power of a Horseman. Look at the Third Kingdom, the result of the Nephilim's souls being used to revive Humanity was the creation of several types of Yokai. Even if Death breaks his seal, he will most likely not be as strong as he once was for a very long time." said the First in a rare moment of unity, the First and Third almost never agreed on anything.
"With Samael's forces moving unseen in the shadows, we need to give the Pale rider every advantage he can get in the days to come. Do not forget my fellows how Strife has disappeared, not of his own volition I fear. We need Death, now more than ever. Even you cannot dispute that Second." said the Third.
Back At Yokai academy's dormitories...
He was standing on a battlefield amongst an army of unfamiliar monsters, each seemed to be different some appeared to have Angelic features, others looked like Demons. At the army's head was a enormous man holding a huge ax. They were battling another army, this army appeared to be composed of Demons. He turned to see a Demon run toward him brandishing a sword at him. Without thinking, he swung the great scythe grasped in his hands and cut the defenseless demon in two. Has soon as he cut that one in two, three others appeared. He split the weapon in his hands in to two smaller scythes he swung one at a demon, decapitating it. He turned and swung the other scythe and launched the second demon into the air he jumped into the air and reunited the two and slammed the blunt end of the blade into the second demon slamming it to the ground on top of the third, crushing it to death. He watched as the rest of the Demons turned and fled the battlefield.
"Great job, my brethren. We are now one step closer to Eden. The home that is our birthright." shouted the man with the enormous ax.
"HAIL ABSALOM, HE WHO WILL LEAD THE NEPHILIM TO EDEN!" shouted the army to the man.
A month has passed since Nyxaros asked Inner Moka out on a date. The date went well and they started seeing each other on a regular basis. It was a little awkward at first with Moka's two personalities, but they managed. Kurumu had since taken to hanging out with them after Nyx had intervened on her behalf during her fight with Moka, after her attempts to seduce Nyxaros and Tsukune, succeeding only in seducing the human. The witchling Yukari had joined them shortly afterward, after pulling a series of pranks . They had all joined the Newspaper club after Moka had gotten in a fight with the head of the Swimming Club. Nyx also joined the martial arts club and after a small incident of fighting between Gin and Nyx for Gin's framing him and Tsukune as peeping toms, Nyx defeated the werewolf and they called it square. Our story continues on a very special day for both Moka and Nyx...
Nyx awoke with a cold sweat on his brow. That was odd, he had always had weird dreams, thanks to the seal on his back. But he had never had a place in them, they had always been like movies. Nyx looked up to see the demon Vulgrim, who had made a habit of appearing in his room every so often, floating at the foot of his bed. The demon ran a store at the academy, but had for some reason taken an interest in Nyx. He sighed, he didn't have time for this.
"What do you want merchant, I have no time for you today." said Nyx as he stood up and began to dress, heedless of the demon who so often visited him. He didn't care whether or not the demon saw him change, all modesty along with any expectation of privacy had been whipped out of him at Noctus Academy. His mentor at Noctus Academy had made a habit of watching him dress every morning. He shuddered, the memory of that vile woman was enough to send a shiver of fear down even his spine.
"I know, you have quite the day today. Don't you think you want to buy your girlfriend a present for your one month anniversary? How about this stuffed bat plush, a little birdie told me she likes stuffed animals." he said as a stuffed bat appeared in his hand from nowhere.
"I know Moka likes stuffed animals, that's why I bought her one a week ago. Now begone with you." said Nyx as he pulled his shirt over his head
Vulgrim grimaced as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke, his business was not going well. The Horsemen were some of his biggest customers, but Strife had disappeared and War and Fury were on business for the council in Heaven and Hell and Death seemed unable to remember he was a Horseman. Probably due to the Rosario Seal tattooed on his back. The Seal was in the form of a large cross on his back with a skull in the center along with two scythes crossed behind it with skeletal wings extending from the center, along with symbol of sealing written along each arm of the cross. Probably one of the Council's schemes, he thought. He may be a Demon, but even he wasn't as untrustworthy as those three.
Nyx finished dressing in his leisure outfit and headed to the cafe to meet Moka. She arrived 15 minutes later dressed in a black t-shirt and a short skirt. She had tied her white hair up in a ponytail and was carrying a picnic basket.
"Hey, how's it going?" she asked as she walked up.
"Good. Hey here, I got you something." he said as he handed Moka a small bag. She took it and took out the small stuffed black bat shaped pillow that was inside.
"I know it's cliched, considering we're both Vampires. But I remembered that story you told me about your pet bat Mr. Ko as a kid, and I thought you might like it." said Nyx before Moka could chew him out for the corny gift.
"Nyx, come on, I love it. It shows you're listening when we talk." she said as she hugged him. Which to Nyx, was quite a big deal. When they'd first gone out she wouldn't let him kiss her good night. She hadn't held his hand till their fourth date. Despite her high upbringing, Nyx had discovered that she was quite a normal girl underneath. He had discovered she loved shopping for clothes and adored cute stuffed animals. She was also quite a tease and loved showing of her legs and chest to tease him. She also loved to fight and often sparred with Nyx in her free time. Though they didn't spend as much time together as they would've liked, Outer Moka enjoyed Tsukune's company and seemed to favor him over Nyx, Moka had made it a point to see that Outer Moka had time to hang out with Tsukune. To which Nyx agreed was only fair.
Moka grabbed his hand and started to lead him him to the spot they had decided to have the picnic they had planned as their one month anniversary, unaware that they were being watched.
"I can't believe he's her boyfriend, she's way too good for him!" pouted Yukari from behind the column where she, Kurumu, and Tsukune were hidden.
"Are you kidding, he's too good for her! Nyx is a hunk. I mean have you seen him shirtless? A man like that deserves a woman who appreciates him for all his good qualities." said Kurumu in response.
"By woman, do you mean Succubus?" asked Yukari condescendingly.
"I do. You can have Moka and Tsukune. I just know Nyx and I are going to end up together." said Kurumu dreamily.
"Come on girls, let's go do something else. I don't like spying on Nyx and Moka while they're on a date." whined Tsukune.
"Fine, go. I'm going to stay here and follow them. I need to make sure she doesn't do anything to corrupt him." said Kurumu resolutely. Tsukune sighed, sometimes it was hard to believe this was a school for monsters, there was just as much, if not more drama here as at his old school.
Meanwhile on the other side of campus near the library Nyx and Moka were sitting on the blanket she had brought, enjoying each others company. Moka had made some curry and rice balls, it wasn't much, but that was okay. Nyx knew that Moka's inner personality didn't get a lot of chances to cook. He didn't mind, it was a secret of his that he was an excellent cook, and one day he'd show her, but today was not that day. They talked about his last match in the martial arts club against a Kappa. Until they ran out of things to talk about so they just sat there, looking into each others eyes. Nyx closed his eyes and leaned in close to Moka. Moka closed her eyes and waited for him to kiss her. When suddenly they heard a crash come from the library building.
"What was that?" Moka asked suddenly. Nyx cursed inwardly. He turned to see a column of smoke coming from the library building. He got up, turned to his girlfriend and said,
"Wait here, I'm gonna go see what's wrong? I'll be right back." she nodded and headed back to the dormitories to make sure all of their friends were okay.
On his way to the library Nyx saw Kurumu flying through the air towards the library.
"What are you doing on this side of campus, normally you spend your days off anywhere EXCEPT near the library." he called over to her.
"I was just in the neighborhood, when I heard the explosion." she lied.
"Uh huh, I'm sure..." said Nyx sarcastically.
The arrived at the library to see several demons standing in front of the library at their head was a large, corpulent, fat demon in gold armor holding a trident, wearing an amulet in the shape of an eye, with upside-down wings on his back.
"Ah, how nice of you to come to us, Horseman. It saves us the trouble of finding you ourselves." said the demon with the trident.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. But if you're looking for a fight, you will lose." he said Nyx as he took a fighting stance. At the same time Kurumu's claws slid out as the succubus prepared to fight as well.
"Ah, I see. So the stories are true, your powers and memories are sealed. Well then, we'll just take your girlfriend and be on our way." said the demon as he raised a hand. A red line of energy extended from the demon's hand and wrapped around Kurumu and pulled her into the demon's grip.
"NO, KURUMU!" Nyx screamed as the demon grabbed a hold of her. At the same time he felt the Seal on his back start to burn. He gasped in pain as he doubled over, he felt an energy building inside his body. The energy continued to build with nowhere to go until there was a great flash of purple light and he looked down to see he was now holding the same scythe from his dream this morning. Unnoticed by Nyx, his silver hair had grown and was now shoulder length instead of it's usual spiky appearance.
"He has his Scythe. Kill him!" The fat demon screamed as he pointed at Nyx with his trident. Before the demons could move though they looked to see that Nyx had cut the Demon nearest to him in half, the top half of its body fell to the ground with a thump. The others unsheathed their weapons and charged at him, while the large one holding Kurumu began to chant something that sounded like a spell. Nyx used the scythe to remove the legs from the first demon to attack him. For the second and third demons who charged at him side-by-side, he split the scythe into its two smaller halves and jumped between the two demons and removed their heads in one smooth motion. He rejoined the two halves and threw the scythe in a circle around him and caught it again and held the pose until the 4 other demons fell to the ground in 8 total pieces. Then, Nyx turned to the demon who held Kurumu and charged at the demon, still holding the scythe. As he neared the demon, it stabbed at him with it's trident. Before it made contact though, Nyx jumped onto the shaft of the weapon and flipped off and spun in midair and in one fell swoop, he cut the large demon's arm off at the shoulder. An ear-splitting shriek rent the air as the arm that held Kurumu fell to the ground and the demon fell to the ground, clutching at the stump that used to be his arm, screaming in agony. He stood up and glared at Nyx, he was wearing a look of pure hate as he pointed at Nyx and said,
"You win this time, Horseman. But soon time your time will come as well. Things are afoot, the End is coming to you and your Charred Council. You won't be on top for much longer. Your and your brethren days are numbered" as he finished saying this, the Demon vanished in a flash of yellow light. Before he could ponder what the demon meant, Nyx was surprised by Kurumu hugging his face to her chest and shaking her chest back and forth.
"Oh my god! Thank you so much for saving me Nyx! Who knows what that demon would've done to me if you hadn't saved me." she exclaimed in a high-pitched tone. Nyx pushed her away with a gasp, she had damn near suffocated him between her massive breasts.
"Dear god, Kurumu! Control yourself woman." he gasped, holding a hand to his chest.
"Hey what happened to your hair? It's longer now. By the way, whats up with the scythe?" Kurumu asked, pointing at his now shoulder-length hair. He ran his hand through his hair to confirm what she said was true.
"I don't know." he said uncertainly he picked up the scythe and wished he had somewhere to keep it. When suddenly the scythe disappeared with a flash of purple light.
"Whoa, what did you do there?" she asked sounding impressed.
"I just wished I had somewhere to keep it. Hmm, I wonder..." he said as he wished he had it again, as if on cue the scythe reappeared in his hands.
Over the next few minutes, Nyx discovered he could summon and banish the scythe at will. He decide to keep his hair long when he got back to the dormitories at the end of the day. It felt right somehow. Besides, Moka seemed to like it and that was good enough for him.
Meanwhile on an almost forgotten world...
Belial knelt before his master in the throne room of the castle that was their base, his wound from earlier now bandaged up.
"I'm sorry my lord, I was unable to steal the girl as you requested.." he said as he stared at the floor, he dared not look his Prince in the eye without permission.
"You fool, you attempted to steal the wrong girl, you were supposed to kidnap his mate, the Vampire, Moka Akashiya. My source seems to believe she is his Destined One, without her he cannot regain his full power. It matter's not, you did succeed in planting the Seed, correct?" asked the fallen angel from the throne.
"Yes my lord, it is hidden among the wreckage of the library, they will not find it in time to stop it from sprouting." said Belial obediently.
"Good, we wouldn't want to upset our new allies by failing to awaken the Old One as we promised. Now leave me." said the lord that sat atop the throne.
"Yes, my Prince." said Belial as he stood up, and without making eye contact, hurried out the door to the rest of the castle.
The fallen angel smiled, he had already eliminated one Horseman, the other two would be no trouble. Death was the problem, his new body made him dangerous. Though if his Destined One was stolen he would remain forever sealed. He needed the Horseman out of the way. He dared not admit it, but Alucard scared him, he dared not disappoint him. He was so close to completing his plans, but without Alucard it would be all for naught...
