The blond hair leader of the Public Safety Commission had received the new orders from the chairmen with great wonder as he tried to understand it. It was permission for Tsukune Aono to get use to his true monster forms for training. The excuse had given was the boy was a powerful and rare sharp-shifting monster who had just gotten into his own power about a puberty surge of hormones. 'For the public safety', the young Aono would have to be trained in his new form to avoid dangerous situations. It was unknown how many forms the boy could have as this species of Youkai could add forms to its body. His fellow newspaper members were also given free passes if it was connected with training of the strange 'Youkai'. A training area had been set up and this would be use for most of the 'education of his Youkai heritage'.
Which to the PSC president... was a complete load of crap. The simple fact was the Chairmen knew something about events unfolding and was moving to act. The PSC was officially under the command of the Faculty, but the President knew his actions were observed and yet ignored by his leaders. If the interest in this single student was enough to gain the notice of the Chairman, or perhaps all three Dark Lords, it would mean their actions might not be ignored this time. New plans would be needed, fortunately there had been the strategy session with his lieutenants about which ideas could be used. More then ever he needed eyes in the Newspaper club to observe and report, for the good of the school as well as the PSC.
Yet they did not have any members which could not be recognized by Gin and therefore his fellow NPC members. So the option was simple, ' I am going to have thought outside the box, to recruit members from other clubs or sources to spy on the enemy. My research has turned up plenty of information on 'fights' which Akashiya-san and Aono-san have gotten into since the school year has begun.
Kagome Ririko and Okuto Kotsubo from the Faculty. Komiya Saizou, a trio of his lizardmen including a class president, a trio of stalkers for his female friends, and the Swim team which was expected given the vampire in group. Each one might be useful in trying to get to the information which I need to provide safety to the students I will have to see if they can covertly be brought into to aid us in the study of the situation. Yes, I need more information if I am going to learn about what I want to know.'
Elsewhere...
Miss Nekonome had told Tsukune and the female members of the newspaper club about an arranged meeting the headmaster had wanted them to attend, one which required a map to find the location of the meeting place. It was a distance from the school and turned out to be what looked like a haunted house from the outside. Dark grey wooden planks all around the house, leaveless trees were in the yard as was the few green shrubs being shaped into twisted animal forms. The note on the map gave them the order to enter building, which was followed by Tsukune opening a creaky door.
Inside the house it was completely different as instead of a broken down house which would need millions of yens worth of repairs, it was a modern home with well tended walls and furniture. There was a huge living room right next to the door, which contained a couch where a dark haired person sat away from them. Chairs and a love seat stood around the couch, with a few tables with spaces for lamps and dishes which contained snack food-like nuts and small candy chocolates. Those chocolates caused Kurumu's mouth to water, given the huge sweet tooth of the succubus, who had been known to eat her own cookies for Tsukune due to their flavoring.
The five students moved around the couch as they went to look at the person they were meeting with, only to see someone they did not expect to see. They all cried out her name, "Ruby-san? "
"Hello Tsukune-san, Moka-chan, Kurumu-chan, Mizore-chan and Yukari-chan. You are here about the meeting the chairman arranged among all us. Many, many things have happened since we last saw one another... but the most important is I have become an aide to the chairman. He has told me everything about all of you and what you have gone through. He wanted to me to tell you about the fact he knows the Omnitrix on your wrist, Tsukune-san." said Ruby as she held a glass of ice tea in her hands.
This caused all five of the students before her to drop to the floor before Tsukune got up and asked, "What... what do you mean? "
"Tsukune-san, the Chairman has resources far beyond those of young Yukari-chan even with the help of Kurumu-chan. He was about to research the information on the device and cast divination spells to fill in the blanks about what he did not know. He knows everything, just like he understands you being human." said Ruby as the others began to look around nervously at the room and Ruby.
Ruby smiled and said, "This area is free from people trying to spy on us, since anyone trying to enter the house will be sent into a maze-like sub-dimension before they ejected from the house. Most divination magic will also be blocked with illusion of what is going on around here, if not a jamming enchantment for the more powerful spells. It is important in the Chairman's mind for Tsukune to learn how to use the Omnitrix he has gained days ago. Please sit down as I explain."
Everyone sat down, with Tsukune being motioned to sit down next to Ruby whose other side was soon sitting next to Moka. Kurumu and Mizore took a seat on the side closest to Tsukune while Yukari sat close to Moka. Tsukune brought out the watch device on his wrist as he looked at the magenta eyed witch. She took a look at it and began to speak to him on what she knew.
"Because the Chairman knows the Omnitrix, he had decided for you to be able to transform into your 'true' Youkai form for the means of training. He has told the faculty as well as others in the school that you are a great transforming Youkai of a rare race who has just gained your demonic powers. To make sure the school is safe from danger you will have to be trained in all your forms. Part of the reason you are here is because this has been set up as a training area for all your unique abilities. Your friends are also given more freedom with transforming into their true forms since they aid in your training.
The truth is having you untrained in your abilities are a danger to the school which will have to be addressed. Another truth is the fact due to the power you wield, you will be hunted by force of darkness from earth as well as beyond. The Omnitrix is a device of many, many secrets... but it's main use is that of a device to change you into alien life forms. Transforming you into alien beings with powers equal to any Youkai, yet this same ability will attract Youkai who wish to own this strength as well as the nastiest of all the aliens who want to use this tool for evil. So you will have to be trained to counter them when they act on their desires." said Ruby as she explained the situation to all them.
"Like the evil squid man who wants it for all those evil plans! " said Yukari as she shivered a bit at the memories of the monster she saw.
"Yes, he is one of them. There are others." answered the elder witch, as got up and comforted Yukari with help of Moka. After making sure the younger witch was all right the two of them tried to return to their seats, only to find Kurumu and Mizore had taken up positions on either side of the young boy. The two displaced woman decided to take the vacant seats then get into a fight, even with the look of 'help me' in the eyes of the single male there.
"To continue, the Omnitrix absorbs the DNA or whatever the alien uses before storing it. Then one can access it if they know the right code or can access the set of ten it belongs to. There are also other codes like ones to neutralize the Omnitrix or one to gain full access to it. This master code allows you to gain access any alien you know, whenever you want for however long you want." Ruby said as she went on with her explanation.
"What about Youkai DNA? " asked a soft and quiet voice belong to Mizore. Everyone stopped as the obvious aspect of the question popped up. If alien DNA was including and absorbed by this Omnitrix for use, what about the alien building blocks of demonic creatures?
"The truth is we do not know, it is likely the Youkai DNA can be absorbed by the Omnitrix with a few exceptions. I can imagine it cannot replicate witch DNA due to the similarity to normal human genetic structures. Still it could duplicate the genetic information of the rest of Tsukune's friends and classmates. Until the truth is revealed, we will just have to work with the forms we have from the Omnitrix.
According to the Chairman, the aliens come in sets of ten for easy use and tally. Others can be unlocked by manipulating the device to gain access the codes for all the aliens form. Save for the Master Code which can access all the abilities of the watch, you just have to know what it is that you want to do. Which is difficult if you have no knowledge of the abilities of the Omnitrix, or of the many types of aliens within the watch.
The fact you're going to have to discover the eight other aliens you have access to at the moment. This is the first step you are going to do to prepare for trouble. Some forms do not have obvious combat abilities, but they still can be useful if you use your mind to develop wise strategies. Which is why the other girls and myself are going to help you train with those bodies, a reason which the Chairman has given them permission to use their true forms in battle against you." explained the brown haired woman, moving to take a sip of ice tea after all the talking she had done.
"I do not know if I can fight my friends like that. I do not want to hurt them if something went wrong with these forms I have." answered Tsukune as he looked like he was swallowing a bitter seed.
Ruby then said something which affected him hard, "The chance you will hurt them will be low in this building, as we have the protection spells as well as a fully stocked medical room next to the training chamber. What you should be more worried about is the chances of something coming after the Omnitrix and you have not been trained in using your abilities properly. If not, it is possible that one girl could get hurt in the resulting battle as they try to protect you."
A look of shock and fear were in the eyes of the only male in the room as he tried to imagine what could happen if he failed to protect his friends. The truth was that much of their success in fighting off all the Youkai who had attacked his friends and himself was the fact he usually accidently took off the Rosario on Moka. If the monsters or aliens who came after them found this out and moved to prevent the removal of the cross, they would be in much deeper trouble in a fight. If he could master his form or use his powers like he did with Frankenvolt to remove the cross, it would give them a better fighting chance.
"The strength of the enemies you could be facing is a major reason why the Headmaster has decided to allow for the release of the Rosario so that Inner Moka can train with you. The ability to fight with and even take down a S-class monster will help you out. Also it should help for the two of you to train together to make combination techniques, as you will have to do with all the other girls." said Ruby as she made sure the point was made.
"But... but... but Inner Moka will kick my butt. She kicks everyone's butt, or at least some part of their body. How the heck am I going to survive it? " said a nervous and fearful Tsukune, as all the other girls seemed to agree as they knew how powerful Moka's true power was.
"Which is a good reason for you to train against her. We will get to that in time. Now we just have to get a look at the different aliens within the Omnitrix and see what we have." said Ruby as she smiled at them.
Later in the basement of the haunted house...
Tsukune had been going through the entire collection of aliens within this Omnitrix device that Ruby keeps talking about. He knew there were ten of them, but he did not expect many of them to resemble different monsters and creatures which would not look out of place at Youkai Academy. Or the fact he gave them names so quickly after taking their form.
There was the two he already known, the one called Frankenvolt and the second one which he had begun to call Big Chill. One was the form of a stylized Frankenstein's Monster and the other resembled the American Youkai known as Mothman somewhat. The next two after getting use to the previous ones were the most monster-like or at least traditional movie monster like.
One was an alien type of mummy while the second was some kind of alien werewolf, which was strange given that Gin their club president was a Youkai werewolf. Yet it did get a reaction out of Kurumu as she said, "What a sexy beast, much better then that pervert Gin and his werewolf form. Less hairy then him too, plus your fur goes with my hair. Blue is definitely your color, Tsukune-kun? "
