♘Rosario+vampire: Year of the Dragon

Chapter 16

The world began to come into focus around Tsukie as her headache cleared, the surroundings became clear, a wall, she was sitting atop a giant wall, one side of which overlooked an enormous city, the other side seemed to be endless plains, as far as the eye could see, a few giant people dotting the land. When she got to her feet she saw a group walking the wall, they were dressed in some odd gear, two big metal boxes strapped to either side of their waist, on the back of their coats was a symbol of a shield with blades, military, how fun. Tsukie was careful to not get closer than necessary, she listened in, "Here we are on the damn wall when we could be taking the fight directly to the titans!!" one yelled, he didn't look happy.

"Calm down Eren, we'll get our chance," the blonde one said, he seemed to have a better head on him.

"But for now we must ask why someone is following us," the last one said, female, and very vigilant.

"Huh?" the other two swerved around faster than Kurumu jumped on Tsukie, the vigilant one already had two blades out, ready for a fight, the others fumbled with their equipment.

"Hi!" Tsukie said in purposely cheery yet freaky tone, "I'm kinda lost, could you perhaps tell me where I am?"

They looked at her like she was crazy (mental crazy, not Hannibal crazy), 'Eren' stifled a laugh, blonde kid seemed taken aback, and lady vigilance raised a brow and tilted her head, "Are you serious?!?" 'Eren' fell on the floor laughing.

"What?" Tsukie was confused, "Something I said?"

Eren laughed harder, lady vigilance sighed before sheathing the blades, " You are atop wall Maria, on of the three walls protecting humanity from the titans," She then cast a glare at Tsukie, "But the better question is, who are you?"

"Me? just a passing soul," Tsukie brushed off the question.

"How did you even get up here?" blonde guy asked.

"It's a rather interesting tale actually-," Tsukie began, but before she could speak a flash signaled the appearance of a giant titan, right beside them, "-That I must tell you another time," Tsukie teleported again as Eren sprung into action before the others.

~~

Landing face first into another place was not fun, Tsukie could attest to that, so standing up while clearing her head she took a look around, this time it seemed like a pretty normal town, except the fact there was an orange haired guy running her way, fast! With a crash they were both sent sprawling, each rubbed their head before looking at who they hit, Tsukie saw that he seemed to still be on edge, his brown eyes held sadness, "Sorrry, I wasn't looking where I was going," He apologized, in a subdued tone.

"It's alright, i'm sorry for bumping into you actually," She laughed weakly.

"It was my fault," he simply stated as he helped her up.

"Are you sure? You seem kinda sad," Tsukie didn't want to pry, but he did seem to be hurting..

"Yeah, guess that can happen in my situation," He felt a wave of emotion wrap around him.

"Oh, wanna talk about it?" Tsukie sat on a bench, offering him to do so as well, the street lights illuminating everything around them.

"I just met you,why should I?" He seemed cautious of strangers, rightly so.

"I completely understand, just want to ease the suffering is all," Tsukie shrugged, she had planned to just jump to the next one, but he interested her, he seemed to be in so much pain, yet was holding it together, it was intriguing.

"Sorry, I just seem to have bad luck meeting new people lately," he said, remembering something, " My name's Ichigo by the way."

"Call me Tsukie," She said, gesturing him to have a seat, which he took.

"Nice to meet you, unless you want to take something from me," Ichigo said, he seemed to lighten up a little.

"No, No, just wondering why you're so sad," She nervously chuckled.

"It's a long story really," He leaned back, "I'm not sure I can tell it all in one sitting, but needless to say, I would really like to get away from here."

"Oh yeah! No problem!" Tsukie smiled, preparing another jump, plus one.

This startled Ichigo, "What are you-!?"

~~

Both of them landed in the next place, it was a bright technicolor looking castle, adorning the walls were sun and moon banners, Tsukie noticed the familiarity, this could be the one, "So then thinking he really cared whether I got my powers back to protect others, I agreed," Ichigo continued, he wasn't even a little surprised.

"Who intrudes upon the eve of our victory?!!" A loud (yet feminine) voice rang from behind them, they turned around to see a dark, tall, menacing Alicorn, who wore the emblem of the moon, with a white Alicorn injured laying behind, not moving.

"Tis I, Tsukie, the Calamity god! Tremble peon!" Tsukie boomed back, taking the dark Alicorn by surprise.

"Uh, bad idea," Ichigo whispered to her.

"FOAL!! I AM NIGHTMARE MOON!! RULER OF DARKNESS, THOU SHOULD BE TREMBLING WITH FEAR BEFORE US!!" Nightmare roared at them, dark energy swirling around her, her eyes glowing with energy as her horn crackled.

"Nice, you went and pissed off a villain," Ichigo face palmed, "I haven't known you a day, and I can already tell what kind of person you are."

"Relax, I got this," Tsukie smirked as Nightmare moon finished her spell, sending a beam of pure lunar energy at Tsukie, who the split the beam with a quick chop, charging  an attack behind her back.

"Astonishing, that thou wouldst posses such strength in such a weak form," Nightmare commented, not knowing of the imminent danger, as soon as the beam ceased an attack composed of redish white energy smashed directly into Nightmare, sending her flying through a wall.

"Wow," Ichigo whistled, he had seen some power in his time, but this was something else, he noticed Tsukie panting, "Are you gonna be alright?"

"Yeah, just don't do this often," Tsukie wheezed, "It's taking all I have not to let loose."

"Letting loose is bad," He didn't question it, he himself was a monster when he lost control.

"Now lets get going before she gets up," Tsukie formed the jump again, but was interrupted when Nightmare got up again, rage well gone, just a sad look, she sent a spell as Tsukie completed the jump, sending them spiraling through it, making them crash into the next world.

~~

Celestia sat on her throne, tending to the concerns of the nobleponies, how ridiculous it was to assure these overgrown foals that they need not be concerned about Spike, that he would hurt nopony, oh how Spike's rampage through ponyville had been a disaster, but all was well now, even if Spike felt responsible, but what concerned her the most was how distant the Elements of harmony push Spike, even when they said they were there for him, they weren't. It could lead to some big confrontation in the future, something that would haunt them for the rest of their lives.

A loud crash burst forward as the roof of the throne room exploded inward, two figures crashing down and destroying the floor, the guards around Celestia jumped forward, ready for the assault, but none came as whatever hit, was unconscious, Celestia inched forward peering into the small crater, inside she saw two familiar shapes, humans, both seemed fine despite the smoldering crater, but to be safe Celestia decided, "Take these two to the dungeon, and call in a vet to have a look at them."

"Yes your majesty," They all said, moving in to take them away, Celestia could feel the headache already.
