Well everyone, here's the long anticipated, highly desired Chapter 2! *insert cheering here* I do apologize about the wait but my laptop that had all my files on it got fried by a power surge and then being sick with Type 1 Diabetes and moving to Atlanta and then trying to get a job and all this other crap made it really hard to add a chapter. But here it is! I'm working on getting a new computer after I manage to save up for a car and get my iPad repaired. If anyone wants to help me out with this let me know please :) anyways, here's Chapter 2 of Elemental Rosario V2!
~~~~~~
Tsukune dejectedly walked back to his dorm room later that evening near midnight. His head was spinning after five hours of learning about his new identity with the Board Chairman. There was so much information to absorb that most yokai got to learn over their lifetime, and he had to learn it in a couple hours. Rubbing his temple, he bemoaned his bad luck. First being human was going to get him killed; now being a yokai was just as bad!
Suddenly, Tsukune stopped in the middle of the path. Something was drawing him towards the forest. There was a feeling in his chest, like it was being constricted and tugged off the path. He looked around, trying to discern what could cause it. Not seeing anything, Tsukune warily walked off the path into the forest.
Timeskip: The Next Morning
Moka walked into class, expecting Tsukune's desk to be empty when she walked in the room. She was consumed with guilt. How could she not be? She was the one who had essentially doomed her best and first friend to becoming a mindless killing machine for all eternity. Looking up, she wasn't surprised to see his desk empty just as she had predicted.
"Hey Moka-san."
Moka jumped and nearly hit the ceiling when Tsukune walked up behind her and greeted her. She immediately spun around and stared at him. He smiled at her. "Uh, is something wrong Moka-san?" he asked her, smiling nervously. She jumped at him and hugged him tightly.
"H-hey Moka-san are you ok? What's wrong?" Tsukune asked her.
"I thought you were gone or really hurt or…" she said, trailing off at the end.
"Or what?" Tsukune asked, pulling back a little. His eyes widened when he saw the look in her eyes and realized that she hadn't drunk his blood in almost a week. Moka sunk her fangs into Tsukune's neck and started drinking heavily from him.
"M-M-Moka-san not in front of everyone!" Tsukune stammered. Moka stepped back with a dreamy look on her face.
"I don't know how it's possible Tsukune, but your blood is even tastier!" Moka squealed in delight. She skipped back to her seat and sat down in an obvious state of dreamy delight. Tsukune, on the other hand, staggered back to his in a state of obvious anemia.
Christ I forgot how much Moka-san can drink at once when she's really thirsty. This is gonna be a long day. Tsukune thought to himself before realizing that there was still almost twenty minutes before class started and neither Kurumu nor Yukari had arrived yet. He groaned, and waited for them to arrive.
Yukari arrived first and squealed with delight since her dream of being in a Moka-Tsukune sandwich was still a possibility. A couple minutes after Yukari finished gushing Kurumu arrived and tackled Tsukune and smothered him in one of her signature hugs, pushing his face between her breasts. After a couple minutes of her hugging and petting and holding him, she went to her seat, watching him as the class started and throughout the rest of the day.
The day progressed relatively normally from then on out. Tsukune got a shiver down his spine every once in a while, feeling like someone was watching him yet every time he looked, he didn't see or notice anyone out of the ordinary. Then he realized it must be Mizore, stalking him as usual. Tsukune smiled, thinking how the snow girl was just like a little ninja. This consequently got him a dodgeball do the face, since standing in the middle of the gym during PE while playing dodgeball is not the best idea in the world. Especially at a school full of monsters who feel obligated to use the maximum possible strength, which resulted in Tsukune getting launched across the gymnasium and into a wall.
Tsukune woke up in a familiar setting. The school clinic. He tried to sit up and groan as his head swam and feel back down onto the bed. Probably a concussion, he thought to himself as he rubbed his head. He laid there, staring at the ceiling and thinking back to last night's training.
Flashback
Tsukune followed the Chairman down a very poorly lit hallway in the Administrative Building. He had never seen this part of the school before, nor even realized it existed. The Chairman giggled in his creepy, all knowing way.
"Boy you are now, as you know, an Elemental. Strictly speaking the origin of the name Elemental is European, specifically Anglo-French which was derived from the Latin elementum which is defined as something that cannot be broken down into any smaller parts. For example oxygen, hydrogen, gold, barium, helium, zinc. All of these are elements because they cannot be broken down to anything smaller. Water, is not an element, as it can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen. Understand?" The Chairman said, turning to make sure Tsukune was still there and paying attention. Tsukune looked at him questioningly.
"Sir, not to sound rude or anything, but I know all about that from science class. Why are we talking about this?"
The Chairman laughed, "All in due time, dear Tsukune. Now, as we both know, you are an Elemental. I'm not really sure which type you are yet, but that is what I hope to discover tonight."
"Type? What do you mean type?"
"There isn't just one species of Elemental dear boy. There are many. All of which are part of nature and each is relatively unique. The curious thing about elementals is that the vast majority of them are a mixture between two or more of the Eight."
"The Eight sir?"
"Yes. The Eight. You see, there are said to be Eight main elements that the world is based on. We will talk about that momentarily. First, let us enter your special classroom." The Chairman said as they arrived in front of a large, ornate door, decorated with a series of runes that hummed with power. The Chairman spoke a few words and touched the centre of the door and it opened inwards without so much as a squeak. Tsukune was ushered over the threshold and into the classroom as the door closed behind the Chairman.
Tsukune looked around in wonder. The door had taken them into a new world it seemed. It must have, seeing as he appeared to be outside with about three planets in the sky. "Where are we?" he asked the Chairman, still looking around at the world.
"A dimension I created to keep rare and endangered species safe from being killed. Don't worry. They won't attack someone as powerful as me, nor someone like you."
Tsukune turned and looked at the chairman questioningly. "Why not me? I'm not that powerful so it can't be because of that."
"Correct. You are nowhere even close to intimidating the creatures that live here, but you are however, an Elemental. Animals and creatures of all sorts love Elementals, and many Elementals can communicate with them. Although bigger and stronger and tougher creatures are much harder to communicate with than smaller, weaker ones. Some will still attack you of course, if not then it would be too easy of an existence but most that are not sentient will listen and not attack you."
Tsukune stood there, absorbing the information the Chairman was giving him. For the next four hours, Tsukune was lectured and taught about Elementals, their powers and forms and abilities and history. Then, before they were going to leave, he breached the topic of the Eight.
"Ah yes, the Eight. I knew we would come to this sooner or later today," the Chairman said, "The Eight. I shall fill you in on the origin of the world as we know it. Very few know this, for it has been one of the most sacred secrets of the Elementals. You don't want to know how I know of it.
Well you see, according to the legend, the world is founded on eight distinct, individual elements. The four base elements are Fire, Earth, Water, and Air. These were created in the beginning when the earth was barren and lifeless. Through a series of random encounters and collisions, each was born. The original four are the weakest of the Eight elements, because they simply aren't prevalent everywhere as the last four are. When the first four Elementals attained sentience, the fifth elemental was created, Life. With her, different combinations of the original Four's powers gave way to all sorts of creatures and plants and every living thing you could imagine.
Soon after the creation of Life and living things, the sixth elemental came into being; Might. Might was the physical embodiment of any and all types of strength and might, whether it was physical, mental, social, etc. These things existed naturally in everything, with varying strengths of course, so he became the sixth most powerful Elemental.
The last two were and are the strongest of the Eight. Their elements affected everyone and everything. Nothing could escape their powers, for their powers were everywhere. The seventh Elemental came into being once the world started becoming overrun with creatures that just kept getting older and enduring. The Six that existed came together and decided that something had to be done before there were too many living things on the planet and the world disintegrated. The Six gave way to their primal instincts and gave birth to Death, the seventh and most powerful of the current elementals. Death is what causes things to, obviously, die, as well as decay and rot. He is utterly inescapable, though he can be delayed and his powers postponed.
Yet there was another issue that only Death noticed. The world was boring. Stagnant, the same. Literally, everything that existed would look identical to another of the same kind. All pine trees were identical, all rabbits, all vampires, all humans, everything was the same. So Death helped bring into being the Element that helped form the original four in the first place. He brought Chaos into being.
Chaos is the most powerful of all the Elementals. He is in absolutely everything that exists. His power is really the power of probability and plausibility. It isn't really probable that a single snowflake could start an avalanche, but he randomizes that chance and makes it so that it's much more likely. He assists in the randomization of the structure of every cell, every blade of grass, which genes get passed down to the offspring, he is absolutely everywhere all the time in everything and everyone.
But, his extreme power came with a cost.
Chaos had so much power within him, that it literally would drive him insane if he didn't let it out. He had enormous power, and very little control. Death didn't have as much power, but had amazing control over what power he did. Though, of course, both were more powerful than the other Six. Eventually Chaos ended up controlling his powers or everything would have been slaughtered."
The Chairman looked at Tsukune who was staring at him intently, trying to remember everything he heard. "That was the legend of the origin of the Eight. At any given time, there is only one pure elemental for each of the Eight. There are many other Elementals of course. There are River Elementals, Pine Elementals, Granite Elementals, you get the picture. Each has influence over all of nature, but is most powerful with their own."
Tsukune sat there for a minute, looking contemplative. Still thinking, he asked, "Sir, how do I know what elemental I am?"
The Chairman looked at him. "That, dear Tsukune, is one of the few questions that I honestly don't know the answer to." He replied apologetically, shrugging his shoulders.
Tsukune stared, openmouthed. The Chairman didn't know something. Well that was a surprise. Closing his mouth, he stood and faced the Chairman. "So what is it you want in exchange for all this information and for helping me?"
The Chairman chuckled lightly, giving Tsukune the shivers. It was a very creepy and disturbing laugh. "For once, I don't want anything in exchange for this. Just be careful and don't let anyone know about what you are. It could cause… complications for you and your friends."
Tsukune sighed and walked to the door. He paused, then turned to the Chairman. "Would it be alright if I wanted to use this room every once in a while to train? That way I wouldn't risk getting caught and you wouldn't have a problem to deal with."
The Chairman looked at Tsukune. "Why certainly my dear student. There is no reason for me to deny one of my precious students some extra study time and space. Use it wisely. And remember this; the further away from the door you go, the more dangerous the creatures of this world become."
