A/N: Word of advice. Never, ever piss off a quiet person. In school, one of the most dreaded persons are the bully, usually picking on the weaker students but little they know, that if they pick on a quiet person they're going to regret doing that for the rest of their lives. Quiet persons, believe it or not, tends to be the most dangerous and emotionally troubled people that you can imagine. Just imagine what's going on in his mind, they you pick on him or her, at first they'll shrug it off but if things gone too far, then prepare yourself for the worst. The usual quiet person will snap and whatever happens next is all on you. So like I said, never piss off a quiet person.
For Jason2108 - another surprise will be waiting for you in this chapter.

-EARTH 228-
Harle Kingdom
As the Harle Festival continues on, we see Chizuru Tachibana walking alone the streets after separating with the rest. Kenji Kazama decided to hang out with the rest of the Clique while Negi and Asuna joined Nodoka's group leaving the blue eyed blonde to his lonesome state, not that he mind. Unbeknownst to our main hero, a strange figure clad in black cloak is following him from behind.
"Ah! What should I do for the day?" Chizuru asked himself before looking at his phone, "Should I head to Delaney's... nope! Davis is there. Then my next destination is Sweet Anne's." he declared with a smile.
"What about your final destination?" a voice asked.
Chizuru froze on his tracks as his eyes narrowed, "Wait a minute! That voice... that familiary, familiar voice of a very familiar voice... that voice..." he mused when his eyes widen in realization, "Oh no..." he said before slowly turning around to see a strange cloaked figure behind him.
The figure quickly took of her hood revealing herself, "It's been a while... Chizuru-senpai." the person whom is revealed to be Tsukuyomi greeted.
"T-T-Tsukuyomi!" Chizuru gasped in shock.
"Ah~ You remember my name senpai~" Tsukuyomi said in delight, her face flushing red.
"Of course I remember! You're that creepy sadomasochist from before!" Chizuru pointed out, "I figured that you'll make an appearance here in the festival, but do you want from me?" he demanded.
"What else?" Tsukoyomi replied as she brought out her sword, "To get more... satisfaction..." she answered licking her blade with hearts in her eyes.
Chizuru grimaced, "Shit! Don't give me that look that you're in love!" he exclaimed.
"Hey... what's going on?" a bystander asked.
"Is that a sword?" a woman asked in fear.
"Is she a killer?" another one asked.
A crowd began to form around them including one person wearing a black cloak, some people began to murmur while the rest are getting scared.
"This is bad! She just had to cause a scene! Now people are getting suspicious and scared! I need to get her away from here!" Chizuru thought in panic, he was about to make a run for it when a booming voice got everyone's attention.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! PEOPLE OF ALL AGES!" a voice called which later revealed to be Eddy's as he appears in the middle of the street holding up a megaphone. He is wearing a colorful top hat, a blue & purple fancy shirt with a red bow tie, yellow pants and yellow banana shoes, "I AM THE GRAND MASTER EDDY! AND I'M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT A SPECIAL EVENT, COURTESY OF AWA AND THE HARLE EMPIRE, IS GOING TO BE HELD RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!" he announced.
"A special event?" a bystander asked.
"THIS SPECIAL EVENT IS WHERE WE'LL SEE PEOPLE SHOWCASING THEIR TALENT IN FIGHTING! NOW WATCH! AND BE AMAZED BY WHAT OUR MAGNIFICENT PERFORMERS CAN DO!" Eddy announced as Dr. Kenjirou Ishikki took over.
"Listen up! Any fighters will perform in this very street! Remember, watch with caution, the blood and bruises may look real but everything is staged!" the doctor elaborated.
"SO DON'T BE SHY AND PLACED YOUR BETS!" Eddy announced only to be whacked on the head by a rolled up tabloid courtesy of the doctor.
"A fight?" a bystander repeated.
"That's sounds cool!" a guy said.
"Yeah! I wonder how strong they are!" a woman said in excitement.
Chizuru grinned, "Nice cover up! With Eddy's perfect announcing skills and the doctor's explanation, everybody will think of this as an act! Perfect!" he thought.
Tsukuyomi hummed, "I see... so you're making the people here believe that our fight is just an act. Clever." she said before smiling sadistically, "However... how long do you think you can fool them?" she asked.
Chizuru glared at her as he draws out his blade from his left sleeve, "Shut up and let's get this over with." he said pointing his blade at her.
"THE COMBATANTS ARE SET! TIME TO FIGHT!" Eddy announced as the crowd began to cheer.
Chizuru vs Tsukuyomi
"I'm so going to regret this!" Chizuru whined.
Fight!
(Play Shura by Does)
Tsukuyomi then took off her cloak revealing her current attire. She wears a white leotard over a black bodysuit underneath an orange (Naruto approved!) mantle with pink sleeves and white sneakers and yellow belt.
"Here I come, senpai!" Tsukuyomi declared as she charges towards Chizuru.
"I'm not you're senpai! I barely even know you!" Chizuru shouted getting ready.
Tsukuyomi quickly throws three daggers towards the blonde but easily swats it away by his blade, the psychotic girl then charges towards him and brought down her sword only for Chizuru to block it with his own, the two would then exchange blows with their blades in a fast phase that it amazes the crowd including those from the rooftop.
"Chizuru seems doing good, I think he got this in the bag." Lester the Unlikely commented with a can of beer in his hand.
"It's too early to decide for that." Levi Ackerman replied as he kept his eyes on the fight.
Parappa the Rapper then hops on the edge, "You guys not gonna help him?" he asked.
Then Misuzu Kusakabe approaches them, "Negative. This is a good chance for Chizuru to fully utilize his fighting capabilities and to see if he's worthy to become our leader." she said as picks up Parappa and cradles him in her arms much to his dismay. Misuzu is currently wearing a white long-sleeve blouse, black trousers and black slip shoes.
After exchanging a few more blows, the two quickly separates and distance themselves from each other.
"You're really good senpai! But you seem unmotivated! And I know how to motivate you." Tsukuyomi claimed with a sadistic smile.
Chizuru gulped, "What?" he asked in confusion.
Tsukuyomi let out a giggle, "I've been observing you from the past days senpai, and I noticed that you've been hanging out with this girl named Yoshika a lot." she said, the moment he heard Yoshika's name, the blonde got tensed, "You look really happy whenever you're with her... so that's why... I suggest I should KILL her first, so you can fight me seriously." she claimed with a cheerful smile.
Suddenly a powerful fist connects to her right cheek, much to her shock, which sends her flying to the street post denting the said structure as she did a little cough, "Senpai... no fair... you sudden-'' she tried to complain but was interupted when Chizuru got in front of her.
From another rooftop, we see Damascus observing the fight, "Ginpachi once told me. That every nice guys lies an animal deep inside their conscious." he said, "The moment Tsukuyomi declared in attempting to harm the most important person in his life..." he says.
Tsukuyomi stares at Chizuru, his kind and cheerful blue eyes are now gone and were replaced by a cold and terrifying bloodshot looks, his eyes are shrunken to a dot, and his piercing glare is unrivaled
"... is when she unwillingly, unleashes the most terrifying animal inside that man." Damascus finished, "Amazing isn't." he added in amusement.
Chizuru violently brought down his blade at her which she quickly responded by blocking, they're blades are locked at each other as they try push one away one another.
"Ngh... s-senpai... looks like you're finally taking this seriously... not just what I expected." Tsukuyomi said only for the blonde to ignore her, "Did I hit the spot? Oh well... as long as you're motivated... then I'm motivated." she declared.
She quickly pushed Chizuru away but the blonde bounced back as both swung their blades, when each strike collided the impact was so strong that it cause a large gust of wind around the area. The two would then throw more blows at each other, each strikes are more powerful and violent than the last, Chizuru's eyes are fixated on hurting her while Tsukuyomi would enjoy every moment their attacks connect.
From the rooftop, "Looks like she's enjoying her fight against our blonde... but let's see how long it will last." Lester commented as he took a sip of his beer.
"Isn't Chizuru a little scary down there?" Parappa asked in nervous.
Damascus approaches them, "Of course, he's scary. He's an animal right now." he stated.
"Graagh!" Chizuru roared as he swung his blade, only for Tsukuyomi for distance herself away from before charging back by hitting his blade by the hilt of her sword, her strike was strong that it sends him crashing to a street post but he quickly bounce back, jumping high in the air ready to bring down his blade, "GRAAAGHH!" he roared much louder.
Tsukuyomi then quickly slashes her sword, everything stop for a moment, until Chizuru's blade was destroyed to pieces, "I like this side of you senpai! But it's all over now!" she claimed.
Chizuru then grabs the remains of his blade and quickly stabs it on Tsukuyomi's shoulder much to her shock as blood began to spill out, Chizuru was about to stab her again but the psychotic girl quickly stabbed her sword on his right arm making it bleed on the process, Tsukuyomi then pulls back her arm before delivering a powerful punch on Chizuru's face sending him crashing into a cafe, surprisingly, he landed on a chair near a table. Despite the blood dripping down his face, the blonde took the time to drink the coffee from the table.
Chizuru looks right next to him, he saw two individuals wearing black cloaks, if you look closely inside, the two individuals looks the same but the difference is one of them looks so scared while the other one had a stoic look with glowing eyes. Chizuru and the stoic individual stares at each other for a minute until the blonde let out a smirk, "Witness the animal, that I am." he declared as Tsukuyomi crashes inside.
"Senpai! Here I come!" the psychotic girl said cheerfully as she brought down her sword only for Chizuru to dodge by somersaulting backwards.
Chizuru then grabs the chair and swung it towards her but she blocks it with her sword, much to everyone's shock, the chair didn't break as the blonde quickly swung it again, despite the odd choice of a weapon, the two began trading powerful blows at each other in a very, very fast phase that the spectators can only see a white and blue blurs.
However, Chizuru managed to disarm her much to Tsukuyomi's shock, the blonde then gave the stoic cloaked individual a grin, "Watch and learn... you might learn something." he said before violently smashing the chair at the psychotic girl causing her to draw blood from her mouth, but Chizuru didn't stopped there, he continues to bash her with the chair in every angle in great speed, "Don't give her the chance to fight back! Don't let her breathe! There won't be another chance! If you falter you'll lose! Cling on! Hang tight! Bite! Strike! Attack! Pray! No matter what happens! Don't think twice! Just attack!" he shouted in every blows as blood began to splatter around the place, Chizuru pulls the chair back above his head before giving the stoic cloaked individual once last smirk, "If you wanna continue protecting her... then listen to my advice!" he declared before smashing the chair at Tsukuyomi sending her flying outside the shop before crashing down the streets.
Chizuru runs out of the cafe, grabbing a baseball bat near the ground as Tsukoyomi slowly got up while coughing out more blood, "Senpai..." she said weakly, "S-sugoi..." she said, "I... I never expected that things will go this far... you truly... satisfy me!" she declared with hearts in her eyes.
Chizuru didn't speak, he slowly walks towards her with his soul piercing glare while swaying his baseball back and forth with the intent of bludgeoning her head further.
"However..." Tsukuyomi muttered as her sword magically appeared in her hand, "It's not over yet!" she declared before quickly stabbing the blonde on his right chest before pushing him towards the wall pinning him, "Fufufu... I got you now, senpai~" she cooed as blood began to squirt from Chizuru's chest who remained silent, "But I just don't get it." she mused, "You had a monster inside of you yet you're wasting your potential to become one... I suggest you ditch protecting others since it's not important and go seek for more blood and carnage." she suggested with a creepy smile, "Protecting others just makes you weaker." she added.
"You're wrong? You're dead wrong." Chizuru said without looking at her, "Protecting others doesn't make you a weakling, in fact it's the opposite, it's make me strong... stronger than you can ever imagine! And who gave you the right to call me a monster? Listen here and listen very well... I'm not a monster... I'm an animal... an animal that is strong enough to kill a monster like you." he said as he looks at her with his determined blue eyes.
Tsukuyomi was taken a back from what he said, "No... why don't you understand? Why do you keep insisting that? Why do you have that look in you eyes? Can't stand... I can't stand those eyes! Get rid of that look!" she exclaimed as she was about to punch him only for Chizuru to counter it by smashing the baseball bat on her face which sent her flying to the sides.
"There's no denying that being an animal is scary but... " Chizuru said as he pulls out the sword from his chest, "... but that depends on the person!" he yelled before charging again towards Tsukuyomi.
Tsukuyomi quickly responded by magically bringing out another sword and swung at Chizuru the moment he got close, however much to her shock, her sword was sliced in half, "What!?" she gasped in shock, she looks at her opponent and her eyes widen when she saw Chizuru had the sword's other half in his teeth while looking at her with murderous glare, "Since when!?" she thought in shock.
Chizuru quickly crushes the sword's half with his teeth before violently, swinging down his baseball bat towards her head making the psychotic girl bent down in her knees while spilling out more blood from her mouth, the blonde wasn't done yet as he swung his weapon like a golf club hitting her on the jaw which sends her skidding and bouncing down the streets.
Chizuru charges again, Tsukuyomi out of desperation began to throw numerous daggers at him, the daggers managed to graze and even hits him on some parts of his body but the blonde charges on, nothing minding the pain at all.
"Why!? Why are you fighting this way? It's not giving me the satisfaction I want!" Tsukuyomi cried in despair.
"Sucks to be you! Cause right now! Beating the shit of you! Gives me the satisfaction!" Chizuru roared as he swung his baseball bat, Tsukuyomi was too late to respond as the strike hits her right cheek drawing more blood from her, Chizuru would then continue to smash his weapon violently at her at every angle, not giving her the chance to fight back, "It's over!" he declared as he grabs her in a fireman's carry position, "Tachibana Special! Attitude Adjustment!" he shouted before transitioning into a kneeling takeover slamming her head and back on solid concrete hard, "Hold on the thought! I'm not done yet!" he declared grabbing her arm and leg before rolling above her bringing her back on his shoulders before repeating the same move, "One more!" he said rolling over her again and repeating the same move once more, and this time, it was a lot stronger, as she hits the concrete the psychotic girl was knock out into sweet unconsciousness.
Chizuru stood above her while looking down at her, "You can't see me!" he said waving a hand on his face.
BREAK OUT!
"WINNER! CHIZURU TACHIBANA!" Eddy announced as everyone roared in applause and excitement. Chizuru looks at the crowd raising his right arm with his thumb, index and middle finger pointed upward while the ring and pinky finger are folded as he gave the crowd a smile.
Back in the rooftop, the spectators could only watch with relief looks in their faces... well... most of them.
"Well guys... you're verdict." Lester stated taking a sip of his beer.
Misuzu nodded, "He truly proves his worth. He finally earns my respect." she admitted.
"He was scary but awesome at the same time!" Parappa said in excitement.
Levi scoffed, "At least he showed that he's not completely incompetent." he replied.
Damascus chuckled, "Ginpachi is right. That every nice guys lies an animal inside. And this guy proves it." he said referring to Chizuru.
"I can deny that." Misuzu replied in agreement.
"Ditto." Lester said.
Back down the streets, Chizuru looks to his left and saw the two cloaked individuals he encountered back in the cafe, he and the stoic individual would stare at each other before the blonde gave her a wink before walking away. The stoic individual could only stare at Chizuru's retreating form, she was confused at first but one thing that she understood, she and Chizuru were monsters protecting those important to them, correction, she was the monster while Chizuru is an animal... an animal whom is strong enough to kill a monster.
-BREAK-
Minutes later, several Harle Knights disguised as medics arrived as they treated(apprehended) Tsukuyomi while the still battered and bloody Chizuru sat on the sidewalk alone since Eddy and Dr. Kenjirou went to find the next fight.
Chizuru took a deep breath when he heard a familiar voice calling his name.
"Chizuru!"
The blue eyed blonde looks at his left to see Ginpachi-sensei, Dr. Shamal and another woman walking towards him. The second woman was short with a red & black hair, silver eyes and a pale complexion, she wears a white hooded cloak over a gray dress, black stockings and gray boots. This is Summer Rose.
Upon seeing Chizuru's bloody state, Shamal quickly ran towards him, "My goodness! Chizuru, are you okay? Do you feel dizzy?" she asked frantically.
Chizuru chuckled, "Don't worry. I may took a beating but I'll live." he replied.
"Mou! You're not taking this seriously Chizuru! We need to treat your wounds quick!" Shamal chastised.
"Listen to her, Chizuru!" Summer quipped, "Nothing good will come off if you shrug things like this." she chided.
Chizuru sighed, "I told you, I'm fine!" he insisted before glancing at Ginpachi, "Hey, lazy Sensei! What's going to happen to that crazy girl?" he asked jabbing his thumb at Tsukuyomi getting loaded on a stretcher.
"Who are you calling lazy Sensei?" Ginpachi muttered in annoyance, "Anyway... crazy girl will be handed to Harle's authority first before transferring her to either the Plumbers Headquarters or Impel Down." he answered.
"Heavens! I hope it's not Impel Down! She maybe crazy but I don't want her to be locked up in that hell hole." Summer said in worry.
"I was thinking the same thing." Shamal said in agreement.
Ginpachi shrugged, "Whatever happens to her is out of our hands." he replied before looking at Chizuru, "I must say, you really did a good number on her. I'm impressed that you only defeated her with your strength alone and the various weapons around you." he stated with a smile.
Chizuru smirked, "Well... what can I say... I'll learned from the best." he replied looking at the lazy professor.
"Mou! It's because of you that students are beginning to get reckless in battles!" Shamal scolded at Ginpachi-sensei.
"She's right!" Summer said in agreement.
"Oi! Then what am I suppose to teach them!? And stop ganging on me, you women!" Ginpachi retorted.
Chizuru chuckled before looking up the sky, "My fight is over... but the true battle had just begun." he claimed with narrowed eyes.
-BREAK-
Meanwhile, in other side of the town, we see Setsuna Sakurazaki and Konoka Konoe walking in the streets, earlier they just witnessed the fight between Chizuru and Tsukuyomi which was broadcast through magical screens which pops out in thin air. Setsuna is currently wearing a white short polo with red tie, dark skirt and black boots while Konoka is wearing a brown shirt, blue dress skirt and black sandals.
"Sugoi, Se-chan! I never expect Chizuru-san to be that strong... and scary at the same time." Konoka commented as she remembers the cold, murderous look Chizuru had earlier which sends chills from her spine.
"I guess Chizuru is something more than we thought." Setsuna noted, "We need to keep our guards up, just as expected, the enemies did come in the festival." she said.
"Setsuna! Konoka!" a voice called.
The two turns to see Erza Scarlet walking towards them wearing her usual attire. Setsuna and Konoka have been friends with Erza ever since meeting about rescuing Nodoka.
"Erza-dono!" Setsuna greeted, "Have you seen the fight?" she asked.
Erza nodded, "Indeed. I had to admit it was nowhere near mine or Zorro's level but I'm impressed with his fight against that girl. He didn't even rely with his special ability to teleport which further impressed me." she stated.
"Though, he was scary... did you see that cold look from his eyes?" Konoka pointed out.
Erza nodded solemnly, "That look in his eyes concerned me a bit... but I can't blame him, the girl did threaten to kill Yoshika, whom is someone very important to him, which is the reason he acted like an animal." she explained.
"I might do the same thing if someone threatened Ojou-sama." Setsuna claimed in determination.
"Se-chan." Konoka said with worried.
"What are you going to do now, Erza-dono?" Setsuna asked.
"We're going to keep patrolling around the town. Sooner or later, another member of the Apostles would make an appearance." Erza answered.
"Fufu... you don't have to look around any longer." a voice said which seems familiar to Erza.
Everybody looks around to see a cloaked hooded figure approaching the three.
"Who are you?!" Setsuna demanded as she got in front of Konoka while Erza could only stare at the figure wondering why she's so familiar.
"Fufu... I believe it's right to formally introduce myself." the figure said taking off her cloak as Erza's eyes widen in shock.
"Y-you're..." Erza trails.
In front of them was a woman has long, bright pink hair which is tied on top of her head in two large buns. She has a curvaceous figure, peach skin and had green eyes. She wears a long, slightly loose kimono with red and black stripes around her waist, black clothing underneath and a red traditional sandals.
The woman gave her a smile, "It's been a while... Erza Scarlet." she greeted.
"You're... Ikaruga!" Erza said revealing the woman's name.
And cut! Wow! I really had fun writing this chapter! I was grinning like crazy while writing this down that my sister thought that I've lost it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the first battle during the festival cause there's more to come!
This are the characters that debuted in this chapter:
Summer Rose from Rwby
Ikaruga from Fairy Tail
-OMAKE-
Standing in front of screen are the Author, Neptune and Rin.
"Hello readers! I'm the Author and right next to me is my lovely girlfriend Neptune and our adopted daughter, Rin!" the Author introduced themselves.
"If you're wondering why the three of us are gathered right here, is because we're going to answer several unsaid questions that occurred during this chapter!" Neptune explained.
"And without further ado, let's get this started!" the Author exclaimed.
Rin then brought out her drawing pad that says "Why is Summer Rose is in this fic?".
"Well... remember that ZeroTopia is a world that grants people second chance in life! Since Summer Rose is revealed to be deceased in canon, she was given the chance to live again in ZeroTopia while working as a teacher in AWA Academy." the Author explained .
"I'm glad to be a part of this." Summer said from one corner.
Rin then brought out her drawing pad again that says "Why Ikaruga alive?".
"Interesting question! You see, in the original Fairy Tail manga, Ikuraga was presume to be dead but in the anime, she was seen alive along with her allies. But since the anime never showed them again, the Author decided to give her a role in this fic as a member of the Apostles." Neptune explained.
"Fufu... and I love it." Ikaruga said from the same corner.
Rin once again brought out her drawing pad that says "What's up with Chizuru and the stoic cloaked figure?".
"The stoic cloaked figure along with her companion are a different version Black Rock Shooter and Mato Kuroi, two characters appearing in another fic titled Strangers in Remnant by my good friend, Jason 2108. Please check out his stories, they're awesome!" the Author said.
"Anyway, recently, Jason2108 released a chapter of his story titled Behind the Scenes 2108, where his OCs plus the alternate versions of Yuuki Konno, Rin, Neptune, Mato and Black Rock Shooter visits the this fic during the festival." Neptune explained.
"As for Chizuru and Black Rock Shooter's staring contest. Chizuru, believe it or not, is fully aware that they're from another world. Take note, another world not another fic. Just one glimpse of Black's and Mato's eyes, he quickly figured out that that they're different persons. Chizuru maybe be an idiot but this idiot is far more smarter than you think! As for the stares, while most characters would get scared and intimidated by Black, Chizuru don't. Remember that Chizuru gets a lot of hated glares from his fellow students, he can match and surpass Levi's glare and as of this chapter, you now know that Chizuru is capable is displaying the most horrifying glare ever that would totally match or even surpass Black's stoic glare." the Author explained.
"A little hint for the future chapters! Black Rock Shooter will make an actual appearance soon and it will involve a gruesome battle with Chizuru! And when is that, it's a secret!" Neptune said with a wink.
"And that's it for today! Hope you enjoy this Omake!" the Author said.
"Bye! Bye!" Neptune exclaimed waving her hands.
Rin brought out her drawing pad that says "See you next time!" with a smile on her face.
Next chapter, Erza and Setsuna will take on Ikaruga!
Until then paalam!
