♘Rosario+vampire: Year of the Dragon

Chapter 9

Things were looking good today for Tsukune, aside from the morning happenings, and the new student showed promise, he was a smart and very skilled at many things. To top it off, he got along really well with him, that in it's self was an achievement, but that didn't matter right now, he had to hear this.

"Name's Josh Smith, but you can all call me 'Doctor', everyone else does," Josh shrugged.

"Doctor, like The Doctor?" A student asked.

"Oh no, he was my older brother, was suspicious of this school, so he came here to check it out," Josh said, not entirely false.

"We aren't that bad," another student said.

"Discipline committee," Josh flatly said.

"Oh, good point," the student said, averting their gaze.

"Anyway, it's good to meet you all, hope we can get along," Josh smiled.

"I'm sure you will fit right in, here, your seat is back by Miss Kurono," Nekenome said with her ever smiling face.

Josh nodded as he walked back, the students he passed either smiled or gave him a wave, he liked being young now, when he reached his seat he noticed that Kurumu was glaring at him, but did nothing as he sat, "Don't think this means I will even consider liking you."

"Huh? Oh no, never dream of it, not looking to be liked anytime soon," Josh said, "Besides, you got it for that Tsukune guy right?"

"Yeah, why do you care?" Kurumu folded her arms.

"Just saying, if you really hate sitting next to me that much you can talk to the teacher about it," He said before turning toward the front to possibly catch part of the lesson.

"Man what a day," Josh said, he had met the class, again, and was apparently popular, already.

"Meh, it's been pretty mellow actually," Gon sighed, most days were exciting, this was dull.

"After the night I had before, this is a nice pace change," Josh said, it had been exhausting, and were was Master off at, that was another thing he needed to find out.

"Oh? Interesting night huh?" Killua had a grin on his face.

"Shut up would ya! It was not that kind of night!" Josh waved him off.

"Oh your face! HAHAHA!" Gon and Killua broke out laughing as Josh tried to hide his red face.

"Oh shut up you two," Josh pouted, folding his arms.

All three were having a great time, Gon and Killua finally met someone to talking to (Emerald wasn't much of a talker), and Doctor was enjoying youth, as he should have, but this all meant nothing when an explosion rocked them, they stumbled before catching their balance and running to see what had caused it.

By the time they got there, nothing was going on, whatever happened had ended, and nothing was left but a bit of blood on the ground.

"What happened here?" Josh said, he knelt down to examine the blood.

"Looks like a fight gone bad," Gon said, he surveyed the clearing and spotted the remaining smoke from the dead forest, "Over there."

"What could that be?" Killua walked toward it.

"Why do we have to investigate?" Gon sighed.

"Why not?" Josh replied, walking toward it too.

"Geez, fine," Gon said rubbing his neck, what a pain.

The walk to the smoke origin was mostly silent, aside from the occasional ambiance and random comment, the forest gave off a more menacing vibe than usual, but that was nothing to really worry about.

"Do you get the feeling that someone is watching us?" Gon asked.

"Oh yeah, more than likely hiding in a distant tree," Josh waved it off.

"Really? what makes you so sure?" Killua asked.

"It's the little hints that give them away," Josh paced on.

"You're pullin my leg," Killua said.

"No really, they most likely have something to do with the smoke in the forest," Josh said.

"I can see clearly now the whale has moved," Gon sang, "Now I can see all the other whales in my way."

Killua burst out laughing, "Really man?"

"What?" Josh chortled, the forest seemed to grow lighter as they laughed, but it grew darker again as they saw a crater come into view, energy seemed to leak out of the empty smoking ditch, an oppressive energy.

"What a mood killer," Killua said looking into the crater, then without warning Josh jumped into the crater and began to investigate.

"What are you doing man?" Gon asked, he kept a distance from the crater.

"Having a look, why?" Josh asked as he gave them an odd look, then realizing that they were a few feet away from the ditch.

"It's emanating energy, we would like to stay back," Killua said.

"Alright then, all the more for me," Josh sat down in the crater, he then began to focus, to call his power to front, being younger made him have to focus harder.

"What are you doing?" Gon took a step closer.

"Get back!" Josh suddenly yelled, Gon jumped back.

"What are you doing man!" Killua said.

"Collecting the energy," Josh calmed down.

"That's dangerous!" Gon said, if he knew anything, it was energy, "That kind of energy could kill you."

"Hardly, with the resilience I have this is hardly a danger," Josh was finishing up, "There, now that that is done, let's head back, I can track the energy signature."

"Nice, where is it?" Killua held a cool stance.

"The school," Josh said nonchalantly.

"What," Gon and Killua said in unison.

"Huh?" Josh looked at them for a moment, "Oh, ohhhhhhh......

"SHIIIIIIIIIII-"

"Never again," Tsukune said laying on a hall bench, after homeroom his day turned for the worst, Hunter pulled him in for a mission (again), which consisted tracking down a spirit on a roller coaster, which they had to ride five times, "Why did I agree to this?"

"Dunno?" Emerald said, unsure what he was talking about.

"Remind me stab Hunter next time I see him," Tsukune said, barely holding to awareness.

"Noted?" Emerald still didn't know what to say, "Do you need to rest or something?"

"Can't, having too much trouble getting relaxed," Tsukune said,

"Here, let me help," Emerald said, he whacked Tsukune in the head lightly (not), "Oops, too hard?"

~Tsukune's unconscious~

"Gah my head!" Tsukune sat up quickly, he was not anywhere he recognized, it looked like a castle room, the throne sat tall, the decorations depicted the sun and moon, it all looked like a movie set of something of the sort.

"Finally awake eh Calamity?" A voice rang, the throne was suddenly filled with a familiar mismatched character.

"Discord! Where am I?" Calamity (Tsukune in his dream state) asked.

"This is the throne room of Canterlot my friend," Discord said, snapping his fingers and summoning a chocolate shake with a Nilla wafer.

"Hehe horse puns," Calamity giggled, "It looks like a near perfect recreation of it."

"Recreation?" Discord tilted his head, but before he could explain, the doors to the throne room opened, in walked two tall figures, clearly female, as well as a few smaller gaurds.

"Discord! What art thou plotting, thou lowly serpent!" the smaller blue horse spoke.

"Me? plotting? Why I never!" Discord sarcastically gestured.

"What abomination have you made this time!" The larger white horse said, picking up Calamity with Telekinesis and chaining him, "What purpose do you serve beast."

"What? Who are you? What's with the hostile welcome?" Calamity asked, the chains tightened.

"Answer thou abomination!" The blue one said.

"Lulu, Tia, please drop my friend here, we are merely having a chat," Discord said.

"Lulu? Tia? These are the ones you told me about?" Calamity did a pathetic point to them, "They really are uptight."

"Cur! Thine words will be the last!" the blue one's horn lit, but the white one stopped her.

"Calm down Luna, I want to know why Discord would create such an ugly thing, and what power it possesses," the white one spread out his arms and legs, then scanned him, "Interesting anatomy, an omnivore, and it is an apex predator, this abomination is going too far Discord."

"Hey don't look at me, the bro who made human's is the one responsible," Discord shrugged helplessly, "And I would not try and tamper with it's soul Celestia, yes I can see that spell, the big boss in charge of that person would get mighty pissed if you did, and I would hate to anger a Creator."

"Art thou not a god thyself?" Luna asked, "Thou keep claiming to be a god of chaos."

"Indeed, but another god can equal, and sometimes surpass my power," Discord said, then pointed to Calamity, "Such as the person you are holding, that is the god of Calamity."

"Uh, new god," Calamity nervously laughed.

"Thou represent such a horrible thing?" Luna shook her head, "But I do not understand, what is the difference between a god and Creator?"

"Gods represent a certain attribute," Discord poofed into a lab coat and glasses, with a whiteboard, "And creators are the highest of beings, big difference really."

"Interesting, but why is he here?" Celestia gestured to Calamity.

"Good question," Discord smirked, "He is actually here so we can get to the meeting that was called by Chaos, in fact, Q should be here soon to pick us up."

"And here I am," another person walked around the throne, "Ready my friend?"

"Indeed, how about you Calamity?" Discord turned to the ever patient god.

"Yeah, not really into this whole uptight kingdom," Calamity said, he broke free with little effort of the restraints and walked over to the other two.

"Bye honey, don't wait up!" Discord blew a kiss to the sisters, then vanished in a flash with Q and Calamity.

Luna then boiled over, "HEATHENS!!!!!!"
