Chapter 1; Keyblade + Vampire
This story is part of the grand KRSPACET universe, so X over themes will be common bit of other media entities x overing. AND, I DON'T USE HONORIFICS, BECAUSE I HAVE NO SENSE WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE USED
Tsukune had no idea what was going on. He was falling, falling, through a mysterious dark abyss. How did he get here, anyway?
"The heroes greatest weapon is his heart" a voice rang out from nowhere. Tsukune looked around in confusion.
"Um, who was that?"
"Aano Tsukune, you have been chosen..."
"Chosen for what?" Tsukune mentally yelled. It was then that he hit something. Groaning, Tsukune pushed himself up, and found that he was on what looked like a giant stainglass floor. Pushing himself up, he found himself staring at a giant stain glass image of himself, and like it always seemed, Moka, Yukari, Kurumu and Mizore were there, stalking/ following him.
"Why, if it isn't the legendary Tsukune" a voice said behind Tsukune. Jumping back in shock, Tsukune found himself looking at a man dressed something like a pharmacist, with a yellow undershirt and black hair.
"Who are you, and for that matter, what are you!" The man laughed.
"Ah, seems as though your as chipper as ever, reminds me of the time we, um never mind. I am Paradox, the time traveling human" Tsukune looked shocked, before he started kneeling and groveling.
"Please, you say you know me, do you have any idea on what I should do about the girls, which one is right for me, and what should I do to then break that to them, safely" Paradox smiled.
"There is nothing like that you can do safely!" Tsukune looked shocked.
"Wait, what if I went with..."
"They will all kill each other, rather brutally at that" Tsukune looked shocked.
"Okay, then what if I..."
"All dead" Tsukune was really looking worried now.
"Okay, but what about if I..."
"Oh, they'd destroy all of Eastern Asia, and themselves" Tsukune was now getting annoyed with this apparent time traveler.
"THEN IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO THAT WON'T INVOLVE THEM KILLING ONE ANOTHER!" Paradox laughed.
"Tsukune, Tskune, Aano Tsukune, there will be plenty of time to talk about that, you could say I have all the time in the many worlds, but that's not what I'm here about. I am here, to help guide you along your destiny, to become a being whose power and influence out stretches even Moka's father" Tsukune looked shocked.
"Wait, what!" Tsukune looked completely surprised. Paradox laughed.
"It's true me boy, your going to become someone great, in the Youkai world anyway. But in order to be of any importance among the Youkai, you need power, and your strong heart is that power" Tsukune laughed dryly.
"Sure, and where is that power..."
"No, power is not something Moka might have sucked out of your blood, I know what your going to say Tsukune, and there exists a kind of weapon, unique to those with the strongest heart. It is called a keyblade" Paradox waved his hand, as a giant key like sword weapon formed in Tsukune's hand, the kingdom key. However, it was transparent!
"What?" Tsukune said confused. Paradox laughed.
"Isn't it obvious, while you, Tsukune are more than capable of using a keyblade, your keyblade's true form and powers will begin to show itself with time, like the present, where you are to go and defeat two of the most dangerous entities in all the known universe, without that harem of yours" Tsukune looked utterly shocked.
"I don't, I haven't, its not a harem...okay maybe slightly, but I'm not getting..."
"I know that, and I'm just surprised your not shocked about having to fight two highly dangerous villains, I believe if they were truely considered Youkai, they'd be like Class S or something" Tsukune shrugged.
"Sadly, I'm almost used to that already" Tsukune laughed grimly.
Back in Youkai academy
Tsukune appeared woozily against a tree deep in the woods of Youkai Academy, looking for these dangerous people Paradox had talked about. Focusing, he summoned his still transparent keyblade, and sliced a nearby tree with it. The tree was cut in half, and fell. Tsukune smiled.
"This could work" he smiled. It was then that he heard the voice of someone.
"What is with this rat hole of a world, this silver haired person better be hear" a voice similar to metal scraping stone, rang out. Tsukune eyes widened, these guys were looking for Inner Moka!
"I have no idea, I may be a vampire, but this Youkai species is different from my own, I'm not able to sense them, the stupid human lookalike spell that these Youkai use is messing up my senses" another voice complained. Tsukune was confused about what he was hearing, there were other vampires? It was then that the two figures came into view. One had pale blond hair and skin, and golden, disturbing eyes. The other, was dressed in red victorian style cloths, with a large feathered hat. He had orange goggles on his eyes, and his eyes were vampire red, he also had black hair.
"Well, whatever type of vampire this, silver haired person is, we must destroy her immediately. If Megatron and He Who Must Not Be Named get her, they will have everything they need to power the infinitrix, and as you know, if that was to happen, our plans will be ruined. Not to mention, all the Youkai freaks are just freaks, so whose to complain if I destroy them all"! Tsukune was lost about what they meant, but he knew one thing, these guys were after Moka and the others, and he'd make sure they were driven off for that!
"You know Kronos, I sense we're being watched, by a human!" Tsukune's froze in shock, as the strange vampire pointed him out. He shrugged it off, and jumped out in front of the two, summoning his keyblade as he did. Kronos laughed.
"Why, if it isn't a little hero. Do you know of the silver haired one, a being of the powers of twilight, a being whose powers are a mix of the light, and the dark. If you do, and tell us where to find her, we will let you live" Tsukune looked at Kronos in a fury.
"I would never rat on my friends, I'd die before I'd tell you anything!" Tsukune placed his hand on his heart before he swung his blade. Kronos laughed.
"And you, a measly human with only a half powered keyblade, think you can stand up to me, the greek lord of time! Well, I can't say I don't admire your determination, however foolish it is, Alucard, defeat and humiliate him, then suck him dry and obtain his memories through his blood!" Tsukune looked disturbed.
"Wait, vampires can do that!" This Alucard laughed.
"Well, I can!" Alucard drew two large hand guns, one black and one grayish white, and fired. Yelping, Tsukune blocked the shots with his keyblade, the metal bullets flying into the air, but then they suddenly jerked and flew right back at Tsukune.
"YELP!" Tsukune used his keyblade again to block the bullets. But then again, they changed direction and flew straight back at him.
"Keep this up all day, human. Both myself and my former fledgling are able to control our bullets, they never miss!" Tsukune tried to avoid the bullets by rolling along the ground, but again they changed direction.
"Oh come on you giant key, do something!" Tsukune was flaying the keyblade desperately. It was then that it started to glow, as Tsukune sliced it, with surprisingly more power. The keyblade sliced right through the metal bullets, the four ruined pieces collapsing to the ground. Tsukune looked at his keyblade in amazement. It's keychain had changed, it now looked like Moka's Rosario!
"That, was interesting, I must admit, that was impressive that you managed to stop my bullets like that, fine then, then prepare to fight me at my full power!" Alucard roared into the air, as a black aura surrounded him. Tsukune gulped, as he swung his keyblade and charged.
Meanwhile
The girls, the ones normally classified as Tsukune's "harem", were sitting at a table together in Youkai's cafeteria.
"Have any of you seen Tsukune today" Kurumu asked nervously. Moka shrugged.
"I haven't, and I'm getting hungry" Kurumu slapped the pink haired beauty.
"HE IS NOT YOUR PERSONAL JUICE BOX MOKA!" Moka blushed.
"Sorry, I'm worried about him too, hey maybe Mizore might know where he is" at that moment Mizore popped her head out from below the table, startling Yukari.
"MIZORE DON'T DO THAT, DEZU!" Mizore had a blank, though some what worried look on her face.
"Tsukune hasn't been anywhere I've been, not since about 1:00 in the morning, when I had to scare off Ginei" the girls looked at Mizore in a worried way.
"Mizore, sometimes I think you have serious issues" Kurumu sighed. It was then that Moka eyes suddenly went wide open, and she grabbed her Rosario.
"Moka?" Yukari asked nervously. Moka didn't seem to hear her.
"Tsukune..."
Meanwhile
Tsukune slammed his keyblade down on Alucard, using all of its strength. It appears that after it had gained the Rosario as a keychain, it gained some of Moka's strength as well, as his impact was bone jarring to Alucard. He wasn't fazed by it, however, and forced Tsukune off. With all of his power, Alucard's fist and Tsukune's keyblade collided. The collision let loose sonic waves across the forest, causing trees to collapse and explode into splinter shards. When the smoke cleared, Tsukune was panting, but Alucard seemed unphazed.
"Yes, Yes, I love a good fight, keep it up, fight me with all your power!" Alucard laughed insanely before his hands became as black as shadow. The black shadow arm morphed into a hammer, as Alucard slammed it down into the ground. A huge spike of earth rose up and sent Tsukune flying.
"AHHH!" Tsukune yelled in fear as he flew higher and higher, before he noticed his keyblade was glowing again, as it was then that Tsukune noticed his speedy fall was slowly turning to a halt. He then found that he was gloating like he had the gliding ability. It was then he took a look at his keyblade again, and noticed the guard had changed. The guard now resembled Kurumu's Subbubus wings, with the grip for his hand now resembling a Succubus like claw.
"So, this is what he meant" Tsukune was reflecting on somethings, his first meeting with Moka, and his standing up for Kurumu, Yukari and Mizore. His ability to forgive any and everyone, his saving his friends from loneliness and doom, that was what made him strong. His keyblade represented his bond with his friends, and with it he would win this fight! Alucard and Kronos were looking on at him in surprise.
"What, how is this guy flying, what does he believe in fairies or something?" Kronos huffed as Tsukune flew straight at Alucard, and started to rapidly slam at Alucard's arm, which had morphed into a shadow blade. Their weapons collided, with brutal, viscous power.
Meanwhile again
Moka was still spaced out, and now Kurumu seemed to be spacing out as well. Yukari was waving her hands in front of her friends desperately.
"What's wrong with you guys, Desu!" it appears that using his keyblade's power had some side effects, like causing those whose powers he was tapping into sort of space out.
"Tsukune" Moka gasped. Mizore and Yukari were confused.
"Huh, what about Tsukune?" Mizore asked. Moka, still a little spaced out.
"I, keep seeing, him in my head. It's as if, he's fighting this really scary guy..."
"In red with a black arm of darkness?" Kurumu brought up. Moka nodded, now looking scared.
"TSUKUNE!" Kurumu and Moka charged out in a panic. Mizore quickly followed them, as did Yukari.
"What is going on, Desu?"
Back to the fight
Still gliding around, Tsukune was combating the raw power of Alucard's shadow power with his keyblade. Gliding up into one of the academy's dead trees, Tsukune sliced off its top, before kicking it at Alucard. Its pointy branch was propelled straight through Alucard's heart, as Tsukune landed on his feet next to him. Alucard collapsed, his heart had been staked.
"You, you, you" Kronos was at a lost for words "You defeated the most powerful vampire in the universe, Aano Tsukune" he was now starting to sound cunning and polite.
"I did?" Tsukune still had his halfway finished keyblade pointed at the Greek Diety. The Deity was grinning in an evil manner.
"Yes, you proven your worth in battle. If I may, I offer you a deal" Tsukune lowered his keyblade slowly.
"What kind of deal?" Tsukune asked, not totally sure about this.
"You obviously have the strength of a powerful being, but against me you'd have no chance. Tsukune, join me and together, we will take over the entire universe! I will also spare any of your friends you wish to save. Tsukune, join me, and I will make you, and your friends, immortal!" Tsukune wasn't sure what to say. If he agreed to join this Kronos, he'd have all that power, and his friends would be safe as well. Not to mention, if they were immortal, they couldn't kill each other over him like Paradox had said, is this what path he had meant?
"All you need to do, Tsukune, is tell me where I can find a silver haired champion" Tsukune snapped back to reality, realizing Kronos was not the answer Paradox had meant. This man wanted Inner Moka, and he couldn't kill her without killing Outer Moka. Not to mention, both of them were his friends, and he would not turn on either of them.
"I will not do such a thing, Kronos. This silver haired person you talk about is one of my friends, I won't let you hurt her!" Tsukune glared in absolute fury, before his keyblade was glowing again. "I will defend her with my full power!" Tsukune's eyes glowed red, with his remnant vampire blood was taking full power. His keyblade was now fully complete, the length of the keyblade going to the top was now made of 4 of Mizore's ice Kunai joined together, and on the end of them was the same mark as the inside of Yukari's wand core.
"So, you dare challenge my might, you puny human! I will send your kind back into their caves, and for non humans, they will become my giants hot dog meat!" Kronos glared in absolute rage, as a huge scythe formed in his hands. Gliding with Kurumu's power, Tsukune flew straight at Kronos, who levitated and charged straight at him as well. Their blades collided in a huge explosion, as Kronos's scythe's blade contacted the ice kunai part of his keyblade.
With the girls
The girls were running, when suddenly Mizore collapsed. The girls stopped as their friend hit the dirt.
"Mizore!" their friend was groaning.
"Urg, my heart. It feels, like its being ripped, by something" Mizore groaned. It was then that they spotted the explosion.
"Tsukune!" the three standing girls cried out, before they collapsed down as well, just like Mizore.
Back to the fight
Kronos was wildly swiping at Tsukune, his keyblade blocking each strike, once in the wings, once in the keychain and once in the striking wand core part. Tsukune jumped back, and swished the keyblade in a straight line, as a storm of ice kunai flew and struck Kronos. He took the hit strongly and jumped at him with his scythe. Focusing, Tsukune called forth a washing bin with the Yukari part of his blade, and it crashed onto Kronos, sending him crashing into the ground. But then as Kronos landed hardly, he got up, and started laughing.
"What?" Tsukune, now very tired, demanded. Kronos grinned evilly.
"You think your such a valient hero, fighting me with the power of that unique keyblade? But here's something you might not realize, that unique keyblades always have a weakness! Ash's keyblade is virtually powerless if he doesn't have any Pokemon, and same goes to Jayden's if he lacks any cards, and yours, is the parts of the blade you use are linked to your friends!"
"Huh?"
"I can sense this, and I've seen its damage, my scythe is a ripper of souls. And instead of taking its power, like a real hero, you force its pain onto your friends! They may have strong enough hearts to resist dieing, but there now in horrible pain, and if they are struck with my power again, they're finished. So, what will it be, your life, or theirs" Tsukune was shocked, as he looked at his keyblade in shock. He had to choose, between protecting himself and his friends lives. Tsukune closed his eyes sadly, and came to a choice. He de summoned his keyblade, and kneeled down to the ground. Kronos laughed in triumph.
"Ha, heroes, always willing to give their lives for their little friends, but let me tell you something, Tsukune, it doesn't matter your sparing them for now, once I destroy the silver one, I'm going to sever your friends heads and mount them in my fireplace!" Tsukune grimaced, not knowing his friends had found their way into hearing distance since about when Kronos had begun his rant about his blades weakness.
"But for now, your going to tell me where I can find this silver haired being of twilight, Crucio!" Suddenly, Tsukune was grimacing in pain, unbearable, dark magic kind of pain. The girls gasped in shock.
"TELL ME!"
"N...OOO..." Tsukune collapsed.
"TSUKUNE!" Moka cried out as she and the other girls charged out and got between Kronos and Tsukune. Kronos just laughed.
"Ha, so these are your little friends, just a bunch of little freaks, ha, and I thought they'd at least be terrifying" Kronos laughed. It was then, that he found out why they were terrifying.
Kurumu sprout out bat like wings, her nails elongated into claws, her ears gained points, and a tail popped out from her, tailbone. Mizore's hands froze, turning into ice claws. Yukari drew out a wand, and Moka, well she was glowing in a red aura.
"TSUKUNE!" Moka yelled, as a red light filled the area. Kronos looked around in confusion, as Moka's rosary had de activated on its own. A swarm of bats flew in and covered Moka, completely hidiing her from view.
"What, the, what's this, aura" Kronos was backing away a little. The bat's cleared, as Inner Moka appeared, glaring at Kronos in absolute hate.
"Ha ha ha, why if isn't the silver haired one I've heard about! You little fool, your boyfriend there gave his life trying to keep you safe from me, as well as the others, and now you've left his death completely meaningless!" Kronos laughed. The girls glared at him in rage.
"WHAT, DID, YOU, SAY!" They all attacked, about as angry at the remark about Tsukune's being Moka's boyfriend as much as his death. Kronos drew his scythe, but an enraged Yukari summoned a pan from the sky that knocked it out of his hands, as Kurumu sliced at him with her claws, as did Mizore with her ice hands. With his shirt in ruins, and golden blood dripping out of deep scratches, Kronos stumbled back.
"KNOW YOUR PLACE!" Moka slammed into Kronos with a power kick, sending him flying into a tree. The area was filled with smoke, as the girls glared in hatred. Kronos tottered out of the smoke, with his arm looking broken as his leg. He glared at them with hatred clouded eyes.
"You, freaks, haven't seen, the last of me. This, infested world, will be destroyed, and you all, will be fed to the hellhounds, I will be back!" Kronos summoned a portal of darkness and fled.
"This week's fight lasted an extrodinary 30 minutes for Tsukune, Chuu, and for the girls 50 seconds, Chuu!" the bat commented before flying away. But the girls ignored him, as they ran to Tsukune.
"Tsukune" they held him close, for once not fighting.
"You did all of that, even taking out that vampire on your own, just to protect us" Yukari cried.
"Um, excuse me, I'm not dead" they were startled, as they turned around. Alucard was standing over them, with a rapidly healing stab wound.
"But, but how!" Inner Moka was completely shocked. Kurumu and Mizore quickly stood up and forced themselves like a wall between Alucard and Tsukune.
"Really you Youkai academy kids, if Alucard wanted to kill you, he'd have done it already" a voice said from above. Everyone but Alucard looked up, as a jet plane flew over head, before a figure jumped down, in a dark cloak. He landed, and removed it, revealing blond hair, and eyes covered in a black blindfold.
"Why, if it isn't the infamous Tonto" Alucard chuckled "But if your here to apologize, I'd run" the girls looked at the man in confusion. This Tonto sighed.
"Sadly, I have some blame to this, you see, they came after the inner Moka, because I had invented a weapon called the Infinitrix, a weapon powerful enough to destroy full powered immortals, that was stolen by Kronos's chief rivals. If I hadn't at one point traveled here, and taken a sample of Moka's heart strength, they would never have come here" Inner Moka now had Tonto by the collar of his jacket.
"YOU LITTLE..."
"Calm down, calm down, I have it handled" Tonto was let down hardly, before he drew out a stick, a plain looking stick, and slapped Tsukune with it. Immediately, he jolted up.
"What, what happened?"
"TSUKUNE!" all the girls hugged him at once, rather suffocating him. Tonto laughed.
"Really girls, don't suffocate him, this thing works only once a year. This is the mystical Savior Staff, a artifact I recovered from the world of man eating hands, it can save a human with a strong enough will from death once a year" Tsukune somehow managed to escape the giant hug and was now shaking Tonto's hand.
"Thanks, you saved me, but if I may ask, why are you wearing a blind fold, are you on a quest to rid the darkness from your heart and thus you will not let your eyes deceive you of it?" Tsukune asked, inadvertently linking Tonto to Riku. Tonto laughed.
"No, no, see this is for my protection, see my family has this curse, stretching back to my great-great-great-great-great-great-great Uncle Manchino, he once offended a succubus, and ever since then, one of mail line has vanished each generation, leaving nothing behind but a bloody shoe in the town market place, and I will not suffer such a fate, being that I'm the only male of my families generation, so this is to keep your Succubus friend from getting a lock on me" Kurumu cocked her head like a bird.
"Huh, why would I do that" Tonto looked away.
"I've found, that with my luck, I can't take any chances with such things. Who knows, maybe my luck's past, but anyway, um Alucard, why aren't you trying to kill me?" Alucard chuckled.
"Tonto, I have decided to go a different course with my life. You see, when I was fighting Tsukune, and seeing how his keyblade was able to reflect the power of relationships between humans and vampires, I realized, I was wrong to be angry with Seras" The Newspaper club was rather lost "So, I've decided to vanish from Kronos's sight, um Tonto you have any uncharted by anyone but you, worlds I can go to, just to do some thinking" Tonto nodded.
"Oh, there's the world of Digitia, Leaf Village, Ooo, of course the worlds of living pastrami, sentient cream pie, man eating hands..."
"I get it, I'll just go to whichever this portal takes me" Alucard waved his hand as a dark portal opened. He smiled.
"Tsukune, take care of yourself, you are one of only three to ever truely defeat me, on the likes of Thomas Greenlight and Van Hellsing, but be warned, you couldn't keep me down because of the distant vampire blood with in you, take care to make sure you don't turn into a monster" Alucard vanished.
And now, that's the end of the starting chapter, but a new one will appear in not too long a while, and I will hint to it with this
"Snorunt!"
"Buneary!"
"Abra!"
"Spinarak!"
