Clash of Realms
CHP45: Connection in Power

Thirty young men and women were lined up shoulder to shoulder waiting for their name to be called. Each and every one of the vampires was very excited for the opportunity after being selected to serve within the military branches of Hiklorhan. To even be considered wasn't such an easy task as it might have been in other kingdoms within the realm. To even get to this point and stand before the supreme commander of the entire vampire military, Issa Shuzen.
"When your name is called, you will step forward and state which branch you intend on joining. Is that clear, men and women?'' the entire lot of them were dead silent as Issa appeared out over the open field.
"Sir, yes sir!'' came the reply from the whole alignment.
With a clipboard in hand, Issa paced around and started the call.
"Aimi, Tanaka!'' he called out.
A woman stepped forward as she saluted with confidence.
"Navy sir!''
"Akiho, Kimura!'' another stepped forward.
"National Security Strategy, sir!''
"Harue, Nakajima!''
Another stepped forward with a salute and standing proud and tall.
"National security council!''
As the names were read off the selection in positions varied all over the board. Usually the drill sergeant would be responsible for this process but was away handling other matters. Since the process began not a single of them spoke until their name was called, but they were relaxed for the most part and were really just looking forward to the whole thing coming to an end. But then another approached the open field and right away her presence was felt and the somewhat hassle-free atmosphere became a whole lot more intense. It was the Dark Lord herself who approached from over a hill, dressed in a purple dress and red bow tied in her hair. To her left was another dressed in gray, with brown boots, blonde hair and streaks of blue and red at the tips. Issa immediately bowed, as did the rest of the aligned soldiers as Akasha positioned herself not far from Shuzen.
"How're the proceedings?" she asked.
"Going well," Issa nodded, looking to her from the corner of his eye. "Lailay."
He gave the vampire beside Akasha a smile while she did the same back.
"Good afternoon, Supreme Commander."
"We're here only to observe, I'd like to speak with you in private at the conclusion. Please do continue on, we aren't even here," Akasha smirked.
Issa's full attention returned to the group out in front of him, coughing and clearing his throat.
"Kirk, Lance!'' Issa called out to the next.
A skinny looking vampire with much definition stepped forward, head held high.
"Marine Corps, sir!'' the commander looked up in surprise, the marines had not had many recruits in the last few years and here this man was boldly asking to join them.
Even so there were a few others and he continued on going down the list. Eventually he came to the last name and lowered the clipboard and called out the last name.
"Demorries, Gore!'' the tall warrior who had been standing near the back stepped forward with a confident demeanor and spoke clearly.
"Spy Corps Division, sir!''
Issa nodded as he took a step forward.
"On my command you will fall out to the places I tell you to. Army recruits will gather over there to the left left, navy the right. National Security Strategy will head out this way right behind me."
The Supreme commander continued this process until each individual was in his or her right place. Akasha smiled and was happy with the way they were all responding to Issa, a young group such as this were constantly slacking, but he had their undivided attention and respect. He was the perfect man for the job, just as she knew he would be. Within the minute another couple military instructors appeared up and over the hill and taking over as Issa was free to take off and join side by side with the Dark Lord.
"I'm all yours, what did you want to cover?"
"Let's take a walk," Akasha gestured for Issa to follow as she took off and Lailay beside her. "This won't take long."

This was past her greatest dream come true and it was even better than the stories she had heard from her mother. It was one thing to be told something but than entirely different to live through and experience it personally. It was her very first time experiencing anyplace really outside of the Aensland palace and for it to be the human world made it a whole lot more worth it. Her escort of sorts was very close by and kept a close eye over the young succubi and made certain she didn't do anything out of line to blow her cover. The child wore a specially designed necklace which suppressed her monster energy and features so that she was able to walk around freely amongst all the humans as if she were one of them.
The trip to man's world didn't happen nearly as fast as she would have liked, and this was all because of her witch escort. Before their departure, the far older and wiser inhabitant of Makai went over the do's and don'ts with the child which in her mind and perspective felt took hours. At one point even she merely heard the words coming out of the witch's mouth but had no idea what she said, nor cared to know. Since their arrival into the world of humans they had already ventured around various different locations. But none more exciting, than what they had stumbled upon most recently as the succubus was the first to skip along inside and away from her escort.
"Where should I go first?" Audrey mumbled to herself. She stood and twirled around in the center of the mall looking around. Having no chores and nothing in particular to do like she would have back in the palace was very refreshing.
She had her choice of stores, but couldn't make up her mind which one to go to first or what to buy. Audrey loved playing dress-up and really bright colors.
"What do I need?" she thought silently to herself, his eyes resting on a clothing store.
A smile spread slowly across her face as she moved up in that direction and pressed her face up and against the glass window as she peeked through.
"Miss witch," she looked back. "I gotta get something, you must buy me something. I want to dress like all the human girls and pretend to one of em."
"Not ideal my lady," the witch shook her head. "You mustin think to take anything of this world back to Makai, not unless you wish for the queen to discover your trip away from the palace."
"You worry too much. I know mom really well, and she's got a good eye but I know how to hide things. She'll never know I was here, take my word for it."
She walked slowly towards the entrance door, having to weave between a few people. The witch had also taken on the appearance of a human, the appearance of a woman in her mid-sixties give or take.
The witch really had no choice but to follow the succubus inside and that's exactly what she did, close behind. It took her only a few minutes to find something that really interested her, a bright green dress. It took some begging and her best set of puppy eyes to force the witch to give in.
"I am going to get in so much trouble for this," the witch murmured under her breath.
Audrey picked out three outfits and a hat to go with one and a long red ribbon with another. Her shopping was far from over, the succubus looking to gather a few other small souvenirs. She looked around again some more as they exited the clothing joint.
"Hhhmm, where to next?" she scratched at her left cheek. "You know, I think my room could use some curtains and maybe some decorations." she continued walking, finally stopping when she came to a store that was dark.
The witch was a couple feet behind her and forced to carry the bags. While taking a look inside her eyes marveled over a set of lava lamps and other glow-in-the-dark items.
"So pretty, and awesome," she skipped inside.
The witch did the same, watching and even smiling at how energetic and happy Audrey appeared. After looking around for a while she keyed in on one lava lamp that she thought would go nicely with the all the purple in her room. She smirked while picking two and wondered around the store again, finally deciding on two neon glow-in-the-dark posters. She then happily skipped up beside the witch and taking hold of her wrist and leading them both to the counter.
"One of these glowing lamps, and two posters. Make it happen, cha ching, cha ching. Money!" Audrey said happily.
The witch couldn't help but chuckle at how adorable the young one was, but very commanding and at the rate things were going this little field-trip wouldn't stay secret from Makai's queen for long if at all. She again paid for the items while Audrey was the first out and leading the way. She wondered around aimlessly, finally stopping in-front of another store. This joint was similar to the last, but without all the glow-in-the-dark stuff. She raised an eyebrow and shrugged her shoulders in a silent.
"This ought to be interesting..."
Audrey wondered around the store, going up and down the aisles, finally finding some velvety orange cushions. She smiled happily throwing herself down over them just before bouncing up just as quickly. The shopping continued for a little while longer and she purchased a few additional items at the expense of the witch. Afterwards they were out of the front doors to the mall and Audrey very much enjoying the feel of the cool breeze over her face.
"That was so much fun, thank you witch lady," the child succubus jumped up and down with energy.
From then the two of them returned to a small cottage that the witch often times used whenever she had business in the human world. This location was used and came in handy whenever she had down time. While Audrey was in the other room and lying out on her stomach with the lava lamp plugged in, the witch brewed a hot cup of coffee for who was essentially next in line for the throne of Makai.
"My lady," the witch entered into the room.
Audrey didn't dare look away from the lamp, more than intrigued as her legs swung about behind her.
"Have a drink, three shots of cream, some honey and four shots of brown sugar as you requested."
The witch bowed her head as she came up over the left side of the bed, offering Audrey the cup who gladly accepted and took it into her hands. She took a quick sip before rolling over on her side and looking away from the lamp as she sat up on her knees and drinking all of what was inside the cup.
"This has been so much fun, but there's still so much more that I want to do."
The witch let out a quiet sigh.
"Maybe, but we cannot stay away for long. Somewhat will eventually discover your absence and then that might be passed onto your mother. And I don't think I need to tell you what sort of consequences might come out of that."
Over the bed Audrey crawled over her knees and set the empty cup over a nearby table beside the bed as she dropped down on her side and looking straight at the lava lamp once more. Even as a child and at such a young age she was very intelligent and took a few moments to access everything in regards to her situation.
"It's okay," Audrey smiled up at the witch. "We can move back and forth for short periods of time."
"I am sorry my lady, clarification?"
The succubus breathed out as she sat up over her bottom and arms crossed.
"I mean we spend a little time here, then return to the palace and I'll mingle around with the castle inhabitants and show face so that they don't worry. And then we come back here so that my adventure may continue. It isn't fair that mom gets to do whatever she feels, and I must be a prisoner to the palace. I'm totally missing out on everything while being a prisoner to the palace. Mom is supposed to lead by example, monkey see… monkey do. Hhhmmm, she's putting off her duties by being away so long," Audrey threw her hair back which waved around.
The witch breathed out and shook her head.
"This is all your choice, and I wouldn't have gone through with this if it wasn't for who you are and the history I share with the queen. But perhaps you consider letting this go upon our return to Makai. Give it a couple dozen years when you become of age and then you'll be able to do what you want. Queen Morrigan is doing what she's doing to protect you. Did you ever take that into consideration, young one?"
The witch moved in closer over Audrey and dropped a hand over her shoulder. And for some moments thereafter Audrey looked the older woman off as she also shrugged out of her hold.
"Don't care what mom thinks," she smiled mischievously. "I'm gonna do me, and have a good ole time while I do it. And besides I totally got to see him!"
She jumped up and down over the bed with excitement.
"My dad, I must see him!" she dropped back down over her knees and her hands clasped together. "But how will I approach? What will I even say… oh boy I'm getting so nervous just thinking about it."
The child lowered her head into the palms of hers hands to hide her face, experiencing so many emotions all at once. She had not seen a picture, nor had any clue what he looked like but she did know his name and the city he operated in. After a while she removed her hands from her face and using a finger to twirl a strand of hair over the right side of her face.
"We'll recess back in our home realm, but when we return it's off to Gotham City."
"Gotham City?"
"Uh huh," the succubus nodded as she fell over her back, and knees pressed against her chest as she wrapped her arms around them. "That's where I will find him."

It was after a long nap that she finally came too and awoke, but with a splitting headache upon initially awaking. For some moments she just laid there, staring up at the ceiling and then her eyes surveying her whole surroundings and she didn't recall this room since she took on the role of filling in as personal assistant to Apollo. There was still much she hadn't seen, and certain parts of the building cut off from all his staff and from rumors circling around it was these sections that were sacred to the harbinger and the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to see these so called areas for herself. Though of course she would never jeopardize her position by doing something such as taking off and performing a search of her own.
Her first attempt at standing saw her stumbling off balance to the left but she caught herself and stood upright as she held onto the arm rest. For a little while she stayed like that until her senses slowly came back to her as she then took off out of the room. It was almost immediate that she bumped into someone out in the hall and from the way the woman dressed, Ruby immediately identified her as one of Apollo's maidens.
"You're up… isn't that wonderful," the woman spoke, but there was something very much cold blooded in that tone of hers.
"Pardon me?" Ruby called out to the woman who came off as highly insolent.
Her steps slowed up, as she slowly backtracked while turning and facing the witch.
"Don't think that we haven't noticed, all of us. You won't succeed, many of us have tried and failed. Do yourself a favor and quit while you're ahead."
That was all she said before throwing her head back and taking off with loud thumps for steps. What exactly did she mean by that? Ruby tried going after her, but someone else from an adjacent hall appeared and approaching the witch.
"There you are," the librarian smirked as she locked arms with Ruby. "I could use your assist for the next thirty minutes, if you aren't busy with something else, that is?"
"Yeah, sure. What do you need?"
"Follow me right this way," The librarian replied.
She followed her step for step and once they came up on flight of stairs they broke away from each other, but continued up. In minutes they were within the library and Ruby given a task to help organize some of the new stacks of books that were brought in just over two hours ago and would be available for the students in the following hour.
"There's some things I need to collect from the other facility, will you be okay alone for a couple minutes?"
"Of course, go on ahead. I'll be just fine," she nodded.
Just before taking off the woman patted Ruby on the shoulder and then she was on her way. The witch had already worked this section before so she had a pretty good idea of what she needed to do. The books were stacked in carts over one another but labeled with certain colors to indicate which section they were to be placed. She went right to work and taking books into her hands as she looked out into the various different sections.
"Ruby."
That voice. That voice was distinctive through the over-all whisper in the library, causing her to halt, and she was careful not to drop the books that were in her hands. She was still somewhat lightheaded, but the feeling was definitely improving. But as she turned that's when she saw his face which was cautiously impartial as if waiting for her response until a small grin shaped in the corner of his mouth.
"Emperor," she swallowed and crossed her arms feeling embarrassed as she recalled her thoughts from earlier.
He slowly moved towards her, easy-going, orderly and daring, almost like a predator out in the wild with its sights set over its prey.
"I thought you would be busy. I was going to head straight for your office soon as I was finished here."
"You should still be resting, my child. There's no need to be up and pushing yourself. What needs to get done will get done," he was soon standing right in front of her, tall, blond, and delightful.
"Nope, no Ruby, not again. Off limits! Now is not the time to be thinking like that."
She stood in tense silence, taking him in as he took one book into his hand and flipping through a couple pages. The witch didn't budge until after she heard a student from the academy running through the halls and there was shouting. A couple students entered into the library and bowing their heads as they took in the sight of Apollo, who just nodded in response.
"Well then I do believe I shall be on my way now," Apollo smiled at her. "There is something I'd love to have your assist with, but do finish up here first and please do take your time."
He took only two steps in the opposite direction before she called out to him and he stopped in his tracks.
"Yes?" Apollo looked back at her.
She stumbled over her words as she attempted to speak and then looked away from him.
"No, sorry. It's nothing," the witch shook her head. "I'll see you in a while."
The harbinger was with a smile of his own and nod of his head.
"Very well, my child."
And with that he was on his way and Ruby watching with her hands behind her back and her fingers fiddling around.

Three persons stepped out of a vortex which put them right on the front steps of the Bloodriver castle and together they made their way up the steps and were greeted by two vampire guards standing on either side of the door. The purple haired medic vampire was immediately recognized and the three of them were granted access into the building, but Selene slowing up and speaking with one of the two guards.
"Is Akasha-sama in?"
"Not currently, madam. She's overseeing some things at the capital and working, but that was hours ago. Give or take she should be returning any minute from now, you're welcome to wait inside."
"Will do, thank you good sir," Selene tipped her head and gave him a smile.
Making her way inside the medic pulled the doors closed behind her as she followed after the other two who were already ahead. The young girl was the furthest ahead and waving a bag pack around as she came up on a long staircase.
"Going to my room, daddy!"
Sasha trotted up the stairs and not looking back while Bruce watched her the whole way and with a grin. For the next two to three days she would spend it under the supervision of her mother and in the monster realm. This was an arrangement agreed upon between both parents and Sasha was more than happy with it as well. At the end it was really her decision to make; Akasha and Bruce wanting nothing more than her full happiness.
"Now that we have a moment," Bruce turned and faced Selene who was already sitting over a sofa in the living-room. "Has your investigation began?"
"Contact has already been made, but you must remain patient. These investigations will take time, but I can assure you that I've got my best people working this. They're plenty capable of seeing this job through and they've been instructed to make contact with me soon as they've made any meaningful progress. Do not fill troubled, as there are more than three isolated units working this from different angles. This isn't on you, not everything is your responsibility. Sometimes you must sit back and allow others to lend you their aid."
His eyes contracted somewhat and understood exactly where she was coming from but he also had his own way of thinking. Still he didn't want to argue and instead kept quiet on the matter and so too did Selene. And they waited only a few minutes before the lady of the castle herself returned, but she was accompanied by two guards in addition to Lailay Izami, who immediately set eyes on Selene and the medic doing the same. With outstretched arms the two vampires embraced each other with great affection while Akasha dismissed the two guards who were sent to specific posts around the fortress.
"Long time no see," Lailay pulled back. "You've kept really busy if what Akasha-sama has told me is any indication. Is she here, where is the girl?"
Lailay's eyes wondered around in search for the child, but instead her gaze settled over someone else completely.
"You," she pointed and circled around him. "Wayne… Sasha's father. Heard you've been turned by the child and were with conflicted feelings about it. Good or bad, it is what you are. That aside I've also heard you've been making quite the progress in adjusting to the new you. Nice to know."
"You heard right," Bruce nodded in confirmation.
Thumping sounds soon followed and the attention of both diverted as they looked clear across the room and that's when she came into view. She had ocean blue colored eyes, standing at 4'9 roughly, fair skin and dark black hair with streaks of pink at the ends. Lailay right away dropped a hand over her mouth and a certain sparkle emitting from her eyes.
"Is that her?" the vampire looked back to the Dark Lord. "Is this Sasha?"
"It is," Akasha smiled proudly.
Sasha was her usual energetic self, dashing forward and jumping into the waiting arms of her mother. They hugged one another tightly for an extended period before Sasha was back down over her feet and looking passed both Selene and her father to someone she didn't recognize.
"Mommy," she tugged at Akasha's dress. "Who she?"
Giggling, Akasha took a knee and lowering herself beside Sasha.
"She's Lailay, one of my best warriors. You probably don't remember her as you were an infant at the time, but she one held you in her hands. Go ahead and say hello," Akasha encouraged the young one.
Sasha stepped forward on her own but did so slowly, as she waved at the woman and introducing herself and Lailay meeting her halfway, dropping her hands over Sasha's shoulders.
"You really are the cutest little thing, can't believe it took us this long to finally meet," Lailay took a knee in front of her. "I don't know if you knew it or not, but you're the very reason that Akasha-sama came out of hiding for so long. Pity I wasn't there the day she reunited with you the day at your father's home. We saw you on television, but it's so much more fulfilling in person."
"You a fighter too? Are you better than momma?" Sasha looked back in the direction of Akasha.
Both ladies laughed and Akasha with a hand to her mouth.
"Of course not, and probably never will be. Your mother is in a class of her own, and she's exactly what the rest of us strive to be," Lailay smiled at the child.
"Yup, I see," Sasha nodded.
She couldn't help how cute the young girl was, throwing out her arms and wrapping them around Sasha as she pulled the child in for a tight embrace.
"You're just too lovely, Miukei will say the same when she gets the chance to see you."
Everyone watched as she soon broke away from Sasha and again stood as she looked to her master.
"I'll skim through the paperwork and let you know if there's anything that you might have missed," the vampire bowed her head.
She smiled at Sasha once more before completely taking off across the room and that's when Akasha looked to her other Maiden.
"Selene, why don't you walk Sasha down to the bakery? I instructed the kitchen people to have something special waiting for her."
"Yur not coming?" Sasha asked.
"I'll be there in a few. Go on ahead hun, I'd just like to have a few words with your father."
Sasha didn't think much of it as she shrugged and followed Selene who led the way out of the room.
"The investigation is still underway," Akasha moved up behind Bruce and her chin resting over his right shoulder. "Detective Wallace is still needed."
"I haven't forgotten. Nakamura Chinatsu, twenty three, found dead behind the Siztiez Plaza and daughter of Nakamura Fukumi, who is head of the National Public Safety Commission of Hiklorhan. Did you attain further info?"
"Only a little something here and a little something there, since we spoke on the matter and Rodrigo has been working it nonstop, in addition to a secret service corps. Problem is neither of our suspects has been much for cooperating and we won't be able to hold them forever with what we have if neither is willing to talk. This operation, the reason for Chinatsu's murder is with so much larger implications behind it. I'm not asking that you be on the frontlines twenty four seven, but I do want you up to date and at the center of solving this. We're going to need that brain of yours to unravel this one. Hiklorhan's very security could depend on it."
"Yes, you've reiterated that."
He didn't expect nor see it coming as the Dark Lord moved up over him from behind and her arms wrapped around him. And while she massaged the side of her face against his he took in her scent as the hairs over his back reacted, and as too did his blood. The actions of them infusing blood into one another simultaneously was still in full swing, and Akasha silently giggling as she could feel and sense his reaction to her very presence and soft touch.
"I suppose we'll just hold off on that reward I promised until the conclusion of this investigation. You will come through big just as you always do and I shall personally see that you're compensated handsomely."
They remained standing as she essentially cuddled up over him and her head lowered over his shoulder. Bruce halfway bit over his tongue, somewhat worried that she would somehow be able to determine the changes he'd just gone through, being so close to him like that and with their blood coordinating in a sense. It was mostly just him being paranoid though, as essentially with the limiter connected to his body even with their blood connected there was no way that she could possibly know. And even without it, if suppressing his levels of energy and aura it was highly unlikely.
"You're too uptight," Akasha whispered into his ear. "Tonight you could come back and we could… you know?"
Bruce smiled with his eyes closed.
"Tempting," Bruce wiggled his way out of her grasp, difficult as it was with her body acting as a stimulating magnet. "A lot on the agenda."
"It's always something," she moped. "Stay awhile. You could at least have lunch with Sasha and I. She would be very grateful."
"You know where to find me," Bruce looked towards the exit.
He took a couple steps before she held him back.
"Don't leave just yet," the Dark Lord looked in the opposite direction. "Give me a sec and I'll send you off with the extra info collected, little as it may be. Soon I will need you back and working this as more and more unfolds."
But then she gave him an unexpected kiss before she took off, winking at him over her shoulder.
"Sure," Bruce smiled, his body even more heated after the peck.
"Be back in a sec," she sung to herself as she waved her hair around and walked.
The vampiress knew exactly what she was doing and both knew it. While she disappeared into the next room, something came to his mind; something that might help his situation. He wasn't one to sit around while others did all the work and himself nothing.
"That's it," he rubbed at his chin with two fingers. "She could be just who I need."

It was no more than a mile away from the Xsouvizs campsite that the two way combination of Batwing and Miukei hid. The area was surrounded by mountains, tall grass, a lake stream and plenty of bushes. Batwing was seated with his back against a tree and quiet. He was like this for so long that he lost track of time, waiting for the vampire to reappear. By her orders he was to stay put and silent until she returned from wherever she went, which she didn't at all discuss.
While he sat there, Batwing listened closely to the surroundings, mostly being crickets, frogs and other sounds of nature. There were a few instances where he thought or believed he heard something fast approaching, but each time it turned out to be nothing. His mask was set aside and his eyes surveying everything that was out in front of him. Things just seemed a little too quiet and this made him nervous.
"Boo!"
Batwing jumped as he was immediately startled and Miukei giggling as she gently slapped at his shoulder and positioning in front of him over her knees.
"Your face," she laughed some more. "So worth it."
"Where were you this whole time? I thought something might have happened, you should have kept me in the loop."
"Relax and keep your voice down," she responded in almost a whisper. "You want to save the canary and the others, I assume? I've been out scouting the camp from a distance, determining where Hayhurst and the others are being held."
"Do you know where?"
The vampire shook her head and Batwing not sure what he should make of this.
"Security is far tighter and they're with recruits who specifically carry weapons to counteract vampires. It will be much more difficult this time around. We'll free them and then get the hell outta here, that is our objective and nothing more."
"Sounds good and right to the point except for one thing… there has to be at least two hundred of them around the camp. We can't return and try to out muscle them, especially if they're equipped to deal with you."
"Right. But that isn't what we're going to do."
Batwing was still and looking her over closely. What did she have in mind, he speculated. But then she reached into her tunic right in between her cleavage and uncovering a folded piece of paper as she resituated and sat beside him with her back against the tree. She then unfolded the sheet and laid it out over their legs.
"A map," Batwing looked to her. "Of what?"
"This is in an in depth map out of the campsite and the grounds surrounding it. I managed to slip it off one as I cut his throat open. Look here and you will see there's an underground passageway. It is here that we will use to get in undetected and also make our escape."
Luke's eyes followed Miukei's finger as she pointed out the specific area. There were a few entry points into the underground area as there were exits from all over.
"We're going to use this underground passage to get to them, but in the course and during our escape there's no other choice but to set fire to the entire campsite and blow it sky high. They know of the underground passage, hell I'm betting they use it when dealing most of their transporting materials secretly in and out. Once we've began our escape we must also destroy the underground tunnels so that they may not follow us."
"Sounds like a plan, but there's just one thing. Where would we get the explosives and whatnot to accomplish this…"
The vampire looked away from the map and over him.
"You never took the opportunity to inspect the weapons I stocked up on just before we left my small base. I brought along just enough to accomplish what we need to. I'll need your help setting things up so that we have the best chance at succeeding. We cannot wait till dawn, our advantage is here and now while it is dark and before they have the opportunity for any further recruits. We have a short four hour window to get this done, and we cannot fail or we lose our best legitimate chance at breaking them free," Miukei implied.
"Phhew, sounds like we're really going to be in for it. But I'm all in, what other choice do we really have?"
Batwing reach forward, taking hold of the mask and standing.
"No time to waste, you lead the way. Time to get things rolling, I'll let you take charge on this one."
"Surely," Miukei jumper up to her feet as well, but with her eyes over him with intent. "But not before a little refreshment."
The bite came fast in the area between his neck and jaw as she drank away at his blood.
"Refreshing," she said contentedly after pulling away a few moments later.
"Like seriously, you can't just go around using me for a food source, and a time like now…" Batwing complained.
"Don't act all tough and bold. You positively love being used, and it couldn't be more evident after what happened while the rest of us were away. You relished every moment that Hayhurst played and used you like her little toy before fleeing. Forget it, our emphasis must be squarely on this job."

Heat emitted off the large yellow orb weighing in the sky, white clouds pranced around it and birds flew from the lake sitting at the bottom of a large grassy hill, and perched at the peak were two dragons sitting cross legged, a basket between them.
"Beautiful isn't it?" the woman asked, looking in awe at the scenery ahead of herself.
"Mhmm," Fafnir stared at the woman beside him, his sharp cheekbones highlighted by the sunlight, his eyes shining as gold as the sky and his hair dancing accordingly to the calm breeze, he shook his head and looked at what the woman was looking at.
Her name was Tessa Airle, someone that worked closely with Arcenill Mount board and she also ran various errands for the dragon king.
"Yeah, it is, rare this happens isn't it? Normally rain I guarantee that in two weeks we'll be sat in the flat playing Uno. And thus far contestants qualifying for the tournament have been putting on quite the show, so that's a positive," Fafnir said chuckling slightly; Tessa turned and looked at Fafnir smiling.
"Two hundred thousand yen, says you're wrong!" Tessa exclaimed while laughing.
Her hand moved out and over his but unintentional, as she quickly pulled it away. She melted slightly inside with the physical contact, but her king appeared unfazed by the touch with his eyes still out in front of him.
"Do you want a sandwich? It's got your fave meat," Tessa asked opening the basket and pulling out a tin foil wrapped parcel.
"What else is in em?" Fafnir sniffed while eyeing the package guardedly.
"Just the usual, you know," Tessa replied with a smile as Fafnir peeled back the handle.
When taking a closer look and sniffing, the dragon king held a face of pure disgust and shook his head.
"Urgh, no thanks, I brought my own crap," the dragon king smiled delving into the basket and ruffling round adventuring in between the packets of Bovril hoola hoops and under the sausage rolls, he smiled to himself and wrapped his fingers around what he'd been looking for.
"Oh not sweets, my king how many times have I told you, you should eat proper food that will give you strength and nutrition," Tessa sighed, biting into her sandwich.
"Oh no this is so much sweeter than sweets," Fafnir replied evilly, slowly pulling out the item in his grasp.
It was a cupcake of sorts and whipped up in one of Arcenill Mount's finest bakeries. But it was nearly three times the size of a typical cupcake. She watched him in silence but just as others she sensed that something deeply bothered her king and that something was obvious. Mairi. She weighed heavy on Fafnir's mind, no matter how much he tried to hide it. Tessa decided against bringing it up and it was for this reason that she invited him to the picnic so that he may clear his mind and relieve stress.

Dinner went about as good as it could have and afterwards Morrigan took on Jon in a couple more rounds of the fighter. Not long after that it was off to bed for the boy while Lois too turned in for the night with an early start-up in the office the following morning. Clark and Morrigan however took to the patio and that's where the discussion of Jedah began.
"So it's like that," Clark spoke with two fingers near his chin. "Now it makes sense, how he was able to get to Kara and put her in such a bad state of mind."
"Yes," Morrigan nodded. "He can dive into the deepest and darkest places of one's spirit and torment them from within. Something simple as willpower isn't enough to fight him off and even those with a high resistant to telepathy will find it impossible to spring from his hold unless that said person is capable of protecting his or her own spirit by some form of barricade."
Clark keyed in and was especially interested to hear the bit that was to come.
"But just as one with a powerful mind that too wouldn't hold, his mastery of abilities and living for so many centuries has given him ample time to master his powers with such proficiency. In order to overcome him, it is really quite simple."
Clark was with his fists constricted just before relaxing them and breathing out.
"Can you beat him?"
Even as the words came out of his mouth Clark felt he had a pretty good indication of how she would respond. The succubus only partially got her mouth open but then her throat closed up on her and felt her body shiver and tingle and the expression over her face didn't go unnoticed by Clark. She appeared petrified, but at the same time so very intrigued.
Next thing he knew wings sprung out of both her head and torso as she took off into the air and flying away. Clark shouted out to her, but with no response as her body broke down and replaced by a class of bats which flapped through the night sky. The kryptonian had no idea what this was all about, but also knew what needed to happen. And so he removed his glasses and set them aside as he spun in place and changing into his battle gear.
Superman zipped into the air and following after the bats which flew over the city of Metropolis. It was a couple miles that the bats traveled before dropping down into a dark alley where Superman did the same. Not long after that the bats combined together as Morrigan's body reshaped but this time she was dressed in her usual attire, purple bat nylons and black boots.
"Why did you take off," Superman approached. "Why did you take off so suddenly?"
"Ssshh," Morrigan put a finger to her own lips. "I can't explain, something is near… it called out to me."
"Called out to you?" Superman raised an eye brow. "You don't mean, literally?"
She stayed silent without an answer and her eyes closed as she tried to feel out and detect the opposite energy. The succubi didn't quite know how to put what she was feeling into words. But that same energy/presence which led her to this spot again reverberated strongly. Then came a hushed giggle from one of the nearby rooftops and both looked upward and spotted someone sitting over the ledge with one leg crossed over the other. On appearance she looked very much like a teenager, having short pink hair and red eyes. But it was her outfit that was most fascinating, similar to Morrigan's but in a different color. Blue nylons with bat pattern, red boots and her top in the color of red. And just as Morrigan she had wings extending out of both her head and torso but in the color of red.
And there was another standing over the roof beside her, who too possessed bat like wings. He had spiky light blue hair, purple eyes, a black trench coat, black boots and a silver chain around his neck. He wore dark colored pants, but no shirt and his chest visible. Lastly, he stood at 5'10. Morrigan inspected both right before her eyes deadlocked with who she knew was another succubus. The pink haired succubi uncrossed her legs and let out another giggle.
"You felt it? Otherwise you wouldn't be here. I've been waiting quite some time for this moment. There were so many different ways I could have chosen to advance, but this seemed the most appropriate," she chuckled.
"Who are you?" Morrigan asked.
"Take a guess, it's so much more exciting that way!" the succubus clasped her hands together.
"You little brat!" Morrigan's left brow twitched while she glared at the succubus. "I asked a question and expect an answer, not a question of your own."
"Not good, yur no fun at all. Oh well," she jumped up onto her feet. "Follow me and I'll tell you what you want to know."
"I'm not following you anywhere and you will answer me. You're not in control of a thing. I've got no problem forcing the answers out of you, pipsqueak!" Morrigan growled.
The succubus opposite of her merely laughed.
"Lilith Aensland," she pointed to herself. "That's my name."
"What was that?!" Morrigan commanded.
Lilith only smiled as her body broke down and formed into a barrage of bats and took off into the sky as the other who was beside her did the same.
"Morrigan…" Superman looked to her.
She didn't respond and instead took off after Lilith and Superman following.

"Well boys, here we are again," the head chairman of Yokai Academy gave both Daiju and Gento hard looks as they sat in seats in front of his desks.
There was no other student he saw in his office more than these two gentlemen.
"How many times am I going to have to go through this with you guys? You know that the point of detention is for you to learn your lesson about the things you did wrong and not repeat them."
"You sure about that? I thought the pointof it all was to waste hours of our lives," Gento muttered under his breath. "We just want to have some fun is all, everybody just needs to chill."
If Tsukune heard that he didn't respond. Instead he cleared his throat and with words of his own.
"You two were put in detention for your fights in the cafeteria, and at the front gates, and in gym class… and the janitor's broom closet. And now you go and blow up the detention room with another one of your fights. And to make matters worse you took to your true monster forms, and you both know good and well what our policy is on exposing that side of yourself."
"Technically we didn't blow it up," Gento snorted. "It's still in one piece, yah know. Well except for that wall and a couple of windows."
"How did you destroy it in the first place?" Tsukune asked with his hands clasped together over the desktop.
"Gento used one of his charged energy breathes…" Daiju began.
"And Daiju used his stupid tail and was whipping it all over and smacked Chelsa clear across the…" Gento said at the same time.
"Stop it!" Tsukune slammed his fists over the tabletop. "You boys realize that I am going to call your parents, right? This nonsense is continues with you two, I've given you pass after pass but detention doesn't seem to be doing the trick."
"No, Why?! Give me one more chance," Gento said.
"Sorry no can do, you two alone have given me and the entire staff headaches! You've been far too disruptive. And you've asked for another chance over and over again," the chairman snapped.
"Why do they need to know, come on?!" Gento grazed at the surface.
"Worried, Gento?" Daiju smirked.
"Well…Aren't you?" Gento looked over to his pal.
"Honestly… I'm all good," Daiju sighed, knowing what was going to happen when the head chairman called his home.
The boy sat back with his arms crossed, a confident grin over his lips.
"This is a joke to you, huh? Then I suppose we'll start with you first."
A booklet was right beside the head chairman and inside were various phone numbers but there were two highlighted and the pages marked. Tsukune took a cordless phone in hand while looking at Daiju the whole time as he dialed a number.
"Dang dude, he's calling up your pops!" Gento said.
There was a moment of silence as Tsukune sat there and the phone just ringing.
"Yes I'd like to speak to Dr. Ogawa," Tsukune began.
Tsukune only got a few words off before realizing he wasn't speaking to anyone and it was merely a voicemail. And just as Tsukune readied himself to leave a message there was a loud bag and followed by the foundation beneath his feet rumbling. That wasn't all as then came the screams of several students, echoing through the halls outside his office and it didn't sound like something small. He immediately popped up from his desk and raced towards the exit door to his office.
"You two stay here!"
Once out into the hall he set eyes on the chaos that was ensuing and came the shattering of glass as a student was sent through a window and her back smashing through a wall which left behind a sizeable dent.
"What is happening?!" Tsukune dropped down beside her.
"Don't know, they came out of nowhere and just started attacking everyone on the lawn and said that they were here for you… head chairman," she said weakly.
Tsukune's fists clinched as he stood to his feet and his aura climbing as his brown colored eyes turned a blood red with a slit through them.
"Stay out of sight and find somewhere to hide. No one attacks this academy, my children and gets away with it!"
Leaping outward through the window Tsukune was well on his way to confront those responsible.
