Tsukune looked at the teen women in the room and wonder how it was they got into these kinds of crazy events. He was trying to comprehend on how they had all gotten some kind of magical ring and lantern combination, the rings which they were now wearing on their hands and the lantern were being held in some kind of inter-dimensional space. The differences were mainly on the colours and the uniforms they now sported, which seemed to have gotten with rings.
Tsukune was dressed in a version of his school uniform in the trio of colours of green, black and white. Which had replaced the leotard-like, form fitting uniform which he had been wearing. He had changed out of this due to the thought of the looks which his female friends would give him. He held the green power ring of the Green Lantern, the power of will. The ring had choosen him due to his bravery, which was formed of his desire to remain in a school which could kill him for his friends.
The ironic thing is that Moka had gained the power of yellow power ring of the Sinestro Corps, the lanterns of fear. Outer Moka is not a forced to be feared and more likely to feel fear, but I guess it would fit if it was talking about Inner Moka. She is a powerful member of the mighty race of monsters known as the vampire. Which explains why she's in a yellow, black and white version of the school uniform. Guess it has the ability to change the uniform to suit the occasion like mine.
Yukari is still cute yet perverted little eleven year old in her witch-based uniform, even if it is now blue with black and white accents. Not sure how she inspires hope, but I figure she has a great reserve of hope for all of the plans she has with Moka and myself. Plans an eleven year old should not be thinking, and Kumuru is suppose to be the sex-based monster.
Which brings up the succubus as well as Mizore, the Yuki Onna or Ice Woman. Two monsters with a history of seducing men, but their problems with declining numbers and from what I can tell only being fertile to men they love might also explain their rings. Given their need to love and be loved, it seemed obvious for them to become Star Sapphire who guard the lantern light of love. Twin bands of violet or more pink to my eyes, but their costumes seem to be different based on their personalities.
Mizore was most dressed like her old self, with a leotard like uniform covering her from neck down. Sleeves which had not been attached to the leotard were held tight just below upper bicep and flowed to her wrists while her hands were bare. Around her waits like a belt was a white mark with a violet star in the centre like a buckle. Her legs were covered to mid-thight with violet and white stripped stockings with small violet high heel shoes on her feet. On her head was a tiara with a star on it.
Kurumu was more dressed like she was going out to seduce someone... like Tsukune himself if she had her way. The young boy in green had seen her in a bikini with most of her skin showing and that looked somehow tamed next to this clothing choice, which while showing less skin seemed to be more sensual. She wore a tiara like Mizore, but larger with a hint of a mask around her eyes. She held a collar of white with two points behind her head before plunging towards her large and bouncy cleveage. This cleveage being held up by a leotard like form which cupped two-thirds of her breasts, while forming a star emblem above her private region with two cut outs of skin on either side of the star. This leotard also form sleeves gloves which covered her whole arm and her hands. On her feet were thight length wedge heeled boots.
Ruby has taken to the indigo ring which she had been given as a member of the Indigo Lanterns or Tribe, not sure why they have a different name. She has gone for something similar to her her normal clothing. Indigo corset with the lace up black web work on her neckline, the webbing forming the symbol of the Indigo Tribes. She is weaing sleeves which don't attach to the corset, with a larger band of cloth around her wrist. The sleeves were white and the wrist parts were indigo. Around her hips and dropping to her ankles were an darker indigo skirt which covered the white boots she was wearing. Indigo ribbons now held her hair into her trademarked pig tails at the sides of her head, near the front.
Unlike Yukari who had kept her own staff, Ruby has made her own staff based on her previous one and the one which created for most of the Indigo Tribes. Ruby's previous staff was made of wood in a crook like shape, but which was a complete circle rather then the partial one of a crook. It had been studded with flowers, given Ruby's experiences with plant based magic.
A tradditional Indigo Tribes staff was something more like a cross between wood and shell, made into segments. It curved into a front which looked like a black hollow from within the staff, from which his ring told him the power of the Indigo Tribe's light could be expelled. It was an aspect of the Tribe's speciality as the bearers of Compassion that the wielder of the Indigo light could use the light of other Lanterns within range of her, usually from the staff as well.
The staff which Ruby had created was more unique, it looked more like wood taken from a tree branch. It did look like a small branch or a sapling which had been formed into a staff. It was thick at the bottom becoming only slightly thinner at the top. the wood looked alien due to the fact where it should have been green or brown, it was pale purple in colour. It was curved at the top, but where the traditional staff had a hook with an opening, this staff had a hook with a strange flower on the tip of the staff. It looked like a sunflower, but with indigo petals instead of yellow.
Ruby had tested her staff out, both by casting some simple spells with it as well as using it to project various colours of light. By synchonizing with the other ringbearers she c ould use their colour of light, which had the side effect of changing the colour of her 'sunflower' to the colour of that light. Green when using will, yellow when using fear, blue with hope and violet when love was used.
They had been gathering what had happened to them, but now they were asking the question of why all of them were bring given the power of these rings. Or at least Tsukune had asked this question.
"From what the rings has told us about Blackest Night in their home dimension, and the being who caused it existing between world, it is possible what happened there could happen here. Even if it's not Nekron himself, our world has plent of undead beings who could be as deadly a threat as him. Worse as most of our school population is made of monsters who may or may not stand on the line between life and death, we could be in line for major conflict if something like this happens here." commented Ruby who seemed to be taking the most mature look at things, which was expected from her. She was an assistant for the school and was slightly older then most of the girls here. Even if she had a childish nature which popped up from time to time, given her isloated childhood.
Ruby continued her comments, "I have spoken with the Headmaster as soon as I was choosen, and we have been discussing it. He does see this as a possible prelude to a threat which could harm the students here, so he is asking for the help of all of you. To make sure the world of youkai and the world of humans are protected from extra-dimensional threats.
He has also asked the group here to keep an eye out for other ring users, especially those of red and orange lights. We have yet to see anyone of those colours, and without them the power to counter any black light beings will be less then a hundred percent. He is worried the rings may not have made the trip to this dimension, so we might have to make a field trip to the dimension where the rings came from. We should also see if we can link with the corps in those dimensions as well, as they could be good allies."
Tsukune thought on this as he tried to choose his world wisely, "So the lights we are missing are those of rage and avarice. If those rings had made it to Yokai Academy and found bearers, what kind of person would be the type of hold that much anger or greed as to be choosen by them? Who would be the first suspect to holding them? "
