Ruby was slowly regaining consciousness and was hearing our conversations: the DWMA students and DMC associates wondering what to do with Ruby, Yukari chanting a spell to heal Tsukune's impalements (which he unfortunately survived) and my out-of-my-mind rambling.
"All these squares make a circle… All these squares make a circle!" I said uneasily.
She suddenly woke up and everyone, minus me, crowded her. "Hey, Ruby… You up?" Tsukune asked. She must've remembered everything that happened, because she suddenly jumped up ready for action, but then I smashed a can of tea against her face.
"Can in the face!" I said as I knocked her back down.
"Sai, you were just supposed to give that to her gently…" Tsukune said.
"Tsukune! I need you to tell me I can leave the tent if I want to!" I said to him.
"Sai, you can leave the tent if you-" He started.
"BITCH, DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" I shouted, then looked back at the ground. "All these squares make a circle… All these squares make a circle…" I continued, panicking.
"Sai, are you gonna be okay?" Lady asked grabbing my shoulder.
"You know, Damion, if you wanted to calm him down, you should've just given him a 5th of vodka, you didn't need to shove a gallon of LSD down his throat from a milk carton." Kid said.
"Oh, I know… This is just funner." Damion smirked.
"I'm on tonight~ You know my hips don't lie, I'm starting to feel it's right. I'll put you… In traction… Can't you see baby, this is perfection~!" I sang and danced, falling down.
"Told you. And those aren't the words, Sai." Damion said.
"Sa mina mina, hey hey, wakka wakka, hey hey, sa mina mina, alegua, this time for Africa." I said, falling down every time I tried to stand back up.
"Ah, he's always the life of the party." Dante smirked.
"So, anyway, are you thirsty? We got you some tea if you want. And don't worry, everyone else already has one." Tsukune said, pointing to everyone else.
"Why do we always befriend people trying to kill us?!" I demanded, but then went back to "all these squares make a circle".
"Because we want to hear her story." Tsukune said.
"I don't! Let me explain my situation through song: I've got 99 demon souls and a witch ain't one~" I said, falling down again. "Why won't you all stop spinning?!" I demanded.
"Tell us about that hill." Tsukune said.
"I don't care. I'mma kill it!" I said, making my arms into blades, getting ready to make an attack that had a 70% chance of hitting the right target.
"Don't you do it!" Yukari said.
"I'mma do it!" I hyped up.
"Don't you do it!" All of the Yokai students said. I lunged anyway, ready to attack.
"Dang it!" Damion said, getting in the way and punching me in the face.
"Take me down to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty." I said, passing out.
"Okay, that hill's a place where witches have lived for a very long time. And we lived there in peace, never bothering or hurting anybody, just minding our own business. Well, at least until THEY came barging in on us. They destroyed everything in sight. They ripped everything to shreds, treating our home like it was nothing. Explain this to me! The human scum! Why should we trust them?! What good could that possibly do us now?! We will never trust the humans ever again!" She shouted. Then she looked at Yukari. "Please, Yukari. You of all people should understand what I'm saying. We witches call this place home. If we're going to say safe, our only option is to destroy every last one of them." She said.
"Well that's fucking ominous!" I said. Then, the LSD wore off and good old gambling man Sai was back. "Can't let you do that, Ruby." I told her, then I looked at Tsukune. "How the hell do you keep surviving all of this? You just got impaled in 4 separate places." I said.
"But, Ruby, I don't feel that way." Yukari said.
I sighed, knowing humans certainly WERE capable of evil.
Flashback…
There was a well-known terrorist organization that we were attacking in Detroit (surprise!) and my younger sister, Serena, also a vampire like Lance, was tearing the most people to shreds. Suddenly, the cops broke in and witnessed her decapitating people.
"Holy shit, shoot her!" The leader said as they began to do so.
Enraged, I immediately stepped in the way, melting the bullets before they could reach me, then glared at them, my eyes glowing red. I powered up to Super Saiyan and beat the living shit out of them, breaking every bone from the ribs down. "How dare you harm Serena! Disgusting humans! Get out of my site!" I shouted, throwing fireballs at them to make them crawl away as quickly as they could.
Back to now…
"Ruby, I understand what you're saying. I will not deny there are humans out there perfectly capable of evil, but to kill them makes you no better than them. And they don't truly deserve to die. Besides, there are plenty of humans with nothing but good in their soul." I said, pointing my hand up in the sky to build suspense of who I was talking about. Tsukune looked hopeful for a moment, but then I pointed at Lady and held her hands. "I'll help you try to preserve the hill, but if you attack the humans, then I'll have no choice but to…" I said, letting go of Lady's hands and turning my arms into blades again.
"We have no choice! We must destroy the humans." She said.
"Come on, do you really think it's okay to kill everyone just to save some hill?" Kurumu asked.
"The only ones we kill are humans." She countered.
"Still, whether you're a human or a monster, there's no difference in the value of someone's life." Mizore said.
"Now that's one statement I disagree with." I said, thinking of the long list of people I'd like to kill: Justin Beiber, Rebecca Black, One Direction, Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Medusa, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc.
"What's so wrong about killing humans? So what if I kill them off!? Who cares about stupid humans!" She said, throwing her can at Tsukune.
"Alright, that's it. I was trying to be a team player. Trying to be a nice guy, but if you won't stop, I have no choice." I said, getting ready to attack.
"You don't get it! If they take away that hill, I'll be left with nowhere else to go!" She shouted.
"Wait, if that's what this whole thing is about, why don't you come with us?" Tsukune said.
"Stop trying to help her, I AM HUNGRY." I said, glaring at him.
"Maybe a drink will fix the problem." Damion said, pulling out another gallon of LSD.
"A: Where do you keep all that shit, B: How can you carry that much and C: Ain't gonna work this time." I said, slicing the jug in half. I turned back to Ruby, but she was gone. "Goddammit, I'm never gonna get that witch's soul." I said.
"We should go look for her. What if something happens?!" Tsukune asked.
"No way, why would we…?" I started, then remembered the soul. "That's a great idea. I'll go look for her. Alone." I said.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice outside of the tent. "Get out or we shoot." He said. I rushed out to see my first meister partner and one of the closest people in my life: My brother, Lance. "Nah, I'm just kidding, we're in Japan, we don't have guns." He smirked.
"Hey, what are you doing here?!" I asked, excitedly, hugging him.
"You called me and told me you were coming, so I got here as soon as I killed off the Cullens." He said.
"Well, luckily, we may get that Witch's soul after all." I said.
Meanwhile…
Ruby returned home and entered the room where her mother-figure she calls Her Ladyship was. "Your ladyship…" Ruby said.
Suddenly, vines entangled her. "I know what you've been doing, Ruby. How could you betray me?" She said.
"No! I'm yours, Your Ladyship! I promise I would never turn my back on you!" She pleaded.
Back to us…
The whole gang rushed to investigate where Ruby was to find a whole plant army to face along with a much older looking witch, Ruby not too far behind, up in the air. "And who might you be?" I asked.
Vines suddenly reached out and ensnared all the girls as the monsters prepared to attack. "I am Lady Oyakata and you are trespassing on our land. Go now or perish. No one is allowed on this hill!" She said. At that moment, a massive army of the plant monsters rose up from the sunflowers.
"Oh, so this is the old witch hag you said the Ruby chick was reffering to." Lance said.
"And what have we here? An irritating child!" She said, getting ready to attack, or trying to intimidate him.
"Excuse me, but I'm a fuck-mothering vampire. I killed a lot of people to get this title. I deserve to be called such." He said.
Kou flew out of the field and started screaming. "Holy crap! It turns out a whole bunch of plant monsters were being cultivated under this sunflower field, whee!" He said, quickly flying away.
I looked to my brother for the signal to go to weapon form, but he just stood there, arms crossed, eyes red, as if he was looking into her soul. "I'll give you one chance. Stop this and end your attack on the humans… Or die." He said in his usual ominous badass tone.
"You first." She said, making vines shoot from her fingers, cutting his head off, tearing him to shreds. Then she looked at us. "Now that I've killed him, I think that's enough of a warning. Leave now." She demanded.
"Sorry to say, but that was just step one. What about 2 through 10?" I asked smugly.
"Ah, Christ!" She said, looking behind her as, in a massive swarm of bats and black wasps, he reformed.
"You done goofed." He said.
"How in the hell did you do that?!" She demanded.
"Fuck you that's how." He said, stretching his arm out towards me.
"Right!" I said, changing into weapon form.
He grabbed me, sliced me through the air a few times, then took a "Nin" stance. "Now then, time for the fun to begin." He said, rushing in, as did everyone else with a badass war cry.
Dante fired on them stylishly and cut them up with Rebellion if they got too close, Trish fried any threats to her with her lightning, Lady showed off her purely badass skills with all of her guns, taking each attacker down with one shot, Damion smashed them or ripped them apart with his bare hands with Mizore as back-up, obviously cutting them with her ice claws or freezing them solid, Kurumu cut them up with her nails and Yukari used her cards again. "Guys, what should I do?!" Tsukune demanded.
"Either run away like a bitch or fill the useless plot hole and take off Moka's Rosary, then stay out of it!" Damion said.
"I can fight, too!" Tsukune whined (he actually does in the show, the girls go up to protect him and he throws a fit, saying how he can fight).
"No. No, you can't." I said.
He then remembered Moka and, I admit this impressed me, fought his way through a horde of the plant monsters to get to her, trying to save her, but failed and pulled off the rosary again.
"Now I'll turn them into a blood offering!" Oyakata said before this happened.
Despite this, Moka still became her inner self and was more than ready to fight. "Moka…" Kurumu said.
"She looks mad…" Yukari said in fear.
"You fool. Doing too much like always." She said, looking at Tsukune, but then smiled. "Still, you did save my ass." She said, then slammed a few monsters (3) away with a massive kick.
"Not bad. Not enough." Lance said, first admiring her strength, then challenging it. He rushed in and delivered a heavy kick, shattering the very earth and crushing an entire wave of them and launching the rest into the air. "Death is imminent." He said darkly, slashing a few times faster than the eye can track, cutting all the monsters down with no effort. To finish, he disappeared, reappeared in front of Oyakata and kicked her hard, sending her flying into Ruby and sending them both flying through a bunch of trees, which all somehow landed on them. "It's done." He said, flicking his arm to swipe the blood off my blade.
"This episodes showdown was over in a mere-!" Kou started, but then the two rose again. "Whee~?" He asked.
The two then rushed back into the fight, making the monsters reform and get even bigger. "Now, it's time to die!" Oyakata shouted, rushing in.
Mizore then began firing ice shards to the monsters from the left and right sides of her hands, killing the monsters without much effort. "The only things that died were them." She said quietly.
"Good job, babe." Damion said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks. Maybe sometime the two of us could make a combination attack." She said, turning around, putting both her hands on his shoulders and giving him a quick kiss.
"That was nothing! They will keep coming back again and again until you're all dead!" Oyakata shouted.
"Sai, we're gonna need you in your human form. Operation: Unholy Fuckstorm of Fiery Death." Lance said.
"Got it!" I said. He then threw me into the air, high above the fight and I turned back, aiming my hands down as if I was firing a Masenko or something. "You dog, I heard you hate fire! So I put my fire in this fire, so I can fry you while I fry you!" I said, throwing down hundreds of fireballs, each leaving an incredible and powerful explosion, wiping out the monsters dozens at a time. (Time for the finally.) I thought. "I'MMA FIRIN' MAH LAZOR!" I said, spitting out a massive stream of fire that hit the direct center of the army, including Oyakata and Ruby, causing a massive explosion and a mushroom cloud. Ruby was on the ground, unconscious and Oyakata was on one knee, definitely out of the fight. "This episode's showdown took- Oh, come on." I said as Oyakata raised her wand and used a powerful spell becoming a massive plant monster herself.
"Holy shit!" Damion said, rushing in.
"If she gets to full power, that'll be a serious pain in the ass." I said, rushing out of the air. Damion and I rushed behind her to execute a combo attack we've been working on but haven't been able to test yet. We rush in at practically Mach 3 speeds and each drives a devastating elbow into one of the opponent's kidneys, which, by our calculations, will completely destroy the kidneys and has an 80% chance of breaking the opponent's back. But before we could land the attack, we were both smashed away by massive fists made of vines.
"Sai!" Lance called, reaching out.
"Right!" I said, flying over in weapon form.
"No! Mistress Yukata! Please…. Stop." Ruby said, with what little strength she had.
"Ruby…" Yukata said, sounding sad, but then she had the vines come down, grab her and did something none of us expected, ate her. She suddenly gained a massive amount of power, becoming nearly impossible to stop, to the point no one could get in close.
"What?" Damion said, wide-eyed.
"How dare you!" I said, in anger and disbelief. "To consume your own student only for more power…" I said, seething.
"Such selfish arrogance! I CANNOT ALLOW THIS!" Lance shouted, taking a Nin stance again as I knew what was coming.
"Let's go, Soul Resonance!" We both announced, our power massively increasing, to the point where the kishin hunter Damion and I preformed before seem like a child's play thing.
"What is this power?! Kishin hunter?!" Damion questioned.
"No. this is our technique. One we had made ourselves years ago. Even the Kishin Hunter is no match for it. Every time we've used this, nothing has ever survived." I explained.
"DOWNPOUR OF BLADES!" Lance announced, slicing into the air, sending a blade of light from my blade which opened up into a portal above Yukata. From that portal, millions of swords just like me rained down on her, having more effect than my fireballs did before, ripping through Yukata like she was nothing, destroying her, her wand and the monster, engulfing us all in a massive dustcloud.
The smoke cleared and there was only the monsters giant corpse left along with a witch's soul, Yukata's. "It's finally over. My mission is complete." I said, grabbing the soul and eating it, finally accomplishing my task of becoming a Death Scythe. At that moment, I felt a massive surge of energy through me as the wind picked up and I began glowing. "Wow, unreal! My gods! This is amazing! I FEEL INCREDIBLE! YES! YES! YES! YES! I CAN WIN! I FEEL GREAT! I! CAN! DO THIS!" I shouted, then screamed and released a massive burst of energy, blowing over trees.
"What is he doing?" Damion asked.
"Chanting to himself." Lance asked.
"I see."
"MY POWER IS MAXIMUM! I AM INVINCIBLE! I'M THE MAN!" I said, trying out my new power. All of my attacks had way more power and speed behind them and blades the size of the one in my weapon form spouted from my elbows, knees and each vertebra. In addition, dozens of smaller blades poked out from everywhere like spikes or armor. "Now I see why Death Scythe's can fight without meisters." I said, not believing the new strength I had.
"Well, then, now that you have all of this new power, I'd like to test it. Maybe you'll actually stand a chance." Moka smirked.
I looked back at her and returned the smirk. "You're on. Although with this power, I'd say you'll be the one lucky to stand ANY chance." I said.
"WAIT, HOLD IT!" Maka said, stepping in between us, putting her hands on our chests to keep us apart, then looked back and forth between us. "Before you two can tear each other apart, we have to go back to Death City for the ceremony for Sai." She said.
I looked in consideration, then nodded. "You have a point, Maka. But one quick thing here: Look where your left hand is." I smirked again, flicking my head as a means to tell her where to look. She did so to realize she had her hands on Moka's breasts.
"Oops, sorry." She said, backing off and giggling nervously, rubbing the back of her head.
Moka, on the other hand, was furious. "How dare you! Know your place!" She said, trying to kick at Maka, who quickly ran away, but Moka chased after her.
"Someone help!" Maka pleaded.
"Nope, I think I'mma just sit here and relax." I said, pulling out a lawn chair and relaxing while I watched the humorous spectacle.
