A flash of light was Tsukune's only warning of the strange feeling overcoming him as he transformed into a moth-like humanoid.
The humanoid was a mix of pale blue armored like appearance with back skin linking them. His face had no nose, his mouth was full of surprisingly teeth and his eyes were slanted orbs of lime green like the watch had been. On his chest was the watch face with a mix of green and black, his hands only had the three fingers and a thumb, while his feet had the two toes facing forward and one backwards. On his head were feathering like antenna which did resemble bunny ears. On his back were a wings with looked like they split into four defined segments due to the narrowing of the wings in the middle with the upper parts looking larger then the lower portion.
'Okay, somehow I have turned into some kind of monster. Which is ironic as I am pretty sure that I was born human and all my relatives have been human, and I am now going to a yokai school where everyone but me were supernatural creatures. Now I know I am going to get into trouble for revealing my 'true' form, which could get me detention at least or expelled in the worse case. ' True to the thoughts of the transformed teen he heard something marching through the woods. He was overcome with the urge to get out of there he started to fly up and fade from sight.
It was as the noises come closer he started to relax a little as he recognized the voice of the people who were coming close to him. The first was a frustrated voice of a certain blue haired girl, "Are you sure that my beloved Tsukune went in this direction? You are not just sending us on a while goose hunt, stalker? "
"I have been following Tsukune-kun for a long time, I have developed my sixth sense regarding him so I could follow him to the ends of the earth. I can find him and hide from him as well as other with a master's skill, till he is ready for me to give him his first born. " repeated the voice of a violet haired female.
"I just hope that he is all right given how the forest looks like around here. It seems there was some kind of fight or something out here. The trees and the earth is all disturbed and torn up. I just hope that nothing happened to Tsukune-kun. " this was the voice of the youngest member of his friends.
Soon the quartet had managed to make their way to the crater which held the metal orb which he had found. Mizore had trailed him to this location and was now looking around for him, which is when his invisibility had become apparent to his own mind. As well as the fact he was hovering several feet above ground, shock took form as he becomes visible again.
The girls could see him and took position to fight him if they had to, likely thinking he was one of the monster students who seemed to attack them once a week or so. He had to convince them he was not a threat, so he spoke out to them, "No, wait! It's me, Tsukune. I know it sounds weird but it is I. "
"You cannot be Tsukune, obviously you are trying to pull some kind of joke on us and it's not funny. Now tell us what you did with him, we might take it easy on you. " called out Kurumu Kurono, as the succubus seemed to get impatient with him.
"I'm telling you the truth, I am Tsukune! It's just that... " he started as he tried to convince them they were wrong, however it was these words which seemed to set off the girls.
Mizore summoned ice to coat her hands to make claws out of the frozen water, and Kurumu grew her nails out into claws for the battle ahead. Yukari was getting ready to summon something with her magic wand, while Moka was getting ready to do some hard hitting against him. Not wanting to get them hurt he tried to think of something which gets them to sit still for the moment and listen to him. Instead the blue haired succubus just up with aid of her bat wings and tried to use her nail claws to strike at him. With reaction of instinct, he blew out a stream of freezing cold vapors which created a pillar of ice between the earth and the flying monster girl's legs plus her lower torso.
This caused the girls to blink as he came to realize that he had power in this form, but it seemed he was not done as the young witch Yukari had summoned a large pot above his head which was falling at him. It was another instinct, which cause him to use another power and phase so the pot would go right throw him, coating the metal object with a rim of ice.
He turned to the three girls on the ground and wonder if he would ever become human again so he could convince them that he was the same friend who had been with them all this time. He needed to think of something as quick as possible to get them to listen to him before he hurt any of them by accident or by trying to defend himself.
The three girls broke apart so they could all corner him, at the same time as the succubus tried to crack the ice which surrounded the bottom of her body. The rest of the girls were getting ready to attack him all at once with hopes he would not be able to freeze or phase if he was attack by several foes at once. The first to attack was the yuki onna, or snow woman, Mizore. She tried to use her ice claws against him which brought back the intangibility which brought more ice on the claw increasing its size to a point it caused enlarge beyond the purple hair girls ability to hold it. Her arm crashed down on the ground as she tried to adjust to the weight of the ice.
Yukari was the next to attack with a fireball shot from her magical wand, likely hoping Tsukune shared the same weakness as Mizore against heat and flames. It made sense for a creature of ice to have some fear of the opposing element, yet he managed to phase through the flames as if it was not there. The heat also did not seemed to have affected him in the least even if he could feel the temperature of the flames. The preteen witch kept up the flame spheres against the untouchable yokai life form that Tsukune had turned into, until the spell finally ran it's course. The formerly human man turned solid once again as the witch was getting another spell ready.
Moka was the last to attack and was trying to mimic the abilities of her inner self as she raised her leg up for a kick. The sole of her foot was striking at her foe and this time Tsukune was worried as he knew as a vampire she had a weakness to all natural water, only treated or altered water could be touched by her without pain. He had no idea what kind of affect his ice would have on her, especially as it melted back to water. So he did not phase, he just tried to get out of the way. He almost succeeded...
The kick sent him flying back, but only a few feet instead of the miles the Inner Moka could manage. He was getting worried of what he was going to do as he rose into the sky, when the strange device on his chest turned red and started to make a high pitch beeping as if it was winding down something. The girls froze as they waited for whatever affect attack he was planning, when the red flash of light appeared centered on the moth creature. Where the creature had been, now was a boy in a school uniform. One without the ability to fly...
A four-way call of "Tsukune" was released as the girls tried to save their crush. Kurumu was slashing at the ice holding her with greater speed, while Mizore had just freed her hand from the ice as she melted it. Moka was running towards the falling boy so she could catch him, while Yukari began to chant something. The vampire girl had jumped to gather him up in her arms, she was about to get him when he stopped falling and started to float again. Soon he drifted to the ground as the little witch stopped her speaking.
Before he could get his footing, he was smothered in a girl mass hug. All of them were asking similar questions, the major one being how he had turned into the moth-like creature. He thought of breaking up the hug, but was enjoying this break in the eternal cat-fight. Till Kurumu complained about Mizore's cold touch after being froze...
"Girl, can we save the fighting for later? Something weird is happening to me. I came here to look for a meteor and found some kind of freaky watch which turned me into an icy moth-man ghost. But from what I saw from the watch, there are at least five or more monsters in the watch. If it turned me into one monster, it could turn me into another monster too. I've tried to get the watch off, but it seems to be super-glued to my wrist. " commented the lone boy as he tried to gain the aid of his friends.
The girls thought hard for a moment before Moka came up with the answer, "Could Yukari-chan use her magic to divine the nature of the watch? Maybe find out more about it. "
The blue haired succubus chimed in with, "I've been taking magic lessons too, I bet I could get the answers we need! "
"But aren't you falling most of your classes, Miss Big-breasts? " answered the yuki onna, in an even tone. The nails of the chest gifted girl enlarged into talons again.
Moka tried to get peace back with the obvious, "It might be better if Yukari-chan does it as she is a witch as well as being the top rank student. Her experience with magic could help find things you might miss, but I am sure she could use your help with the spells she will cast. It could also help with the grades in your class allowing you more time to hang out Tsukune-kun and the rest of us instead of studying. "
This seemed to get the sexual yokai's attention as she smiled at the idea of the time spent with her Destined One. Yukari began to speak while this was happening, "I'll try my best, Moka-chan. Kurumu can help me by providing a back up of power and extra focus. Let's begin it now! "
