Close by this spot, hidden from sight...
Keito was observing the battle from her hiding location, making notes of Tsukune's actions and reactions. The first interesting point was the fact the boy had transformed into some kind of werewolf, with a powerful howl weapon which cause his jaw to split into four. Something true werewolves were known for and the PSC would know having dealt with Gin. Another big factor was the speed and strength of the werewolf... on a day of the new moon. A day the mutts were normally at their lowest power levels.
"First a Frankenstein like Youkai, and now an unknown type of werewolf, so either he is a monster which has the ability to take on multiple forms or something else is going on. There is also the watch device on him again, on the chest of the former and the belt of this form. He also went for the watch device when he hid from our helpful patsies. So what is really going on?"
She watched as the blue werewolf was about to be piled on by the trio, only for Fuzzy to reverse his fortunes by using his howl again against the ground as he jumped. The mixture of force and counter-force worked together to thrust the blue furball out of his mess and into the air, where he back-flipped on top of the troll. The giant reacted in the close range by slinging it's club for the werewolf, only for the beast to jump and dodge it again.
The club, however, had to go somewhere once it was released. The place it went was the top of the troll's head due to a poorly aimed attack. The hit slammed down on the green hairy man as it knocked him out from the hard blow. The giant had the look of embarrassment before anger replaced it and the giant returned to the fight.
The tengu took this moment to go in for a killing blow by making a flying charge against the blue fuzzball, sword held in it's feet to impale the person in front of them. The werewolf just spun around to avoid the blade and release a howl after the flying monsters, pushing the crow like man into a tree with harden force. When the wolf-man looked at the result of his actions, he saw the tengu had it's beak stuck deep into the tree.
Keito was starting to thinking, "We should have selected smarter monsters to attack the boy with, if this was the level of combat experience he has. Or at least the level of dumb luck in his corner. It looks like it's just the giant for the kill and he's the least bright of the three of them. What chance of success does this brawny idiot have for taking down the blue irritant."
The giant's strategy was was to keep swinging his club at the bouncing blue wolf-man, which was not working in the long run.
Elsewhere...
A telescopic lens was hand for a camera so one was not in range of one's target, which was the case for this one. It had been watching the bandaged spider-woman as she was on some kind of mission, but turned to the battle once it was seen who it was doing all of the fighting. The photographer was shocked at the appearance of another werewolf, especially one as strange as the one before them. Blue fur was unusual, but so was the power it was showing under the lack of moonlight. This was not any werewolf known to the history of the world of youkai, which was causing questions to emerge from our shutterbug.
'So if Tsukune is not a werewolf, what is he? Why hasn't he shown his true form when Moka was threaten before? Or to defend himself from the dangers of the attacks of other monsters? What secrets is he hiding and what effect will it have on the Newspaper club?' thought the cameraman as he took more and more pictures of the events beyond him.
Back with Howler...
'I've taken care of the troll and the tengu, at least for now. I just have to knock the big guy down before the watch gives out. So where are the weak points on this monsters? There has to be some way to bring him down.' thought the blue werewolf as he moved to avoid the club.
Howler figured the first step he would have to take would be removing the club from action. So it would take a a great amount of physical force from a combination of strength and speed at a weak point, or a sonic howl at a same said weak point.
'Or I could use a combination of the two of them for greater effect.' thought the alien hero as he split his jaw in quarters to shoot a blast at the giant. As expected, the giant blocked the blast with the club. The landing of the blow caused the club to chip and splinter from the force of the blast, as spider web like cracks covered the huge stick.
Backing off from the huge monster like he was running away, Howler took a moment to get a running start at the giant. Surging forward, he cocked his fist for a punch against the larger monster. The giant prepared to block again with the club, which is what the blue boy wanted. The closed hand moved forward as the werewolf did as well, till the speed enhanced megaton fist slammed into the club. Intense power flowed through the weapon as it aggravated the faults already in the tool, causing then to enlarge and open up. A second balled hand pulled up and pounded the weapon as well, which caused enough overload of the breaks in the club to cause major chunks of it to fall off. So many pieces, that it was no longer functional as a club.
Splinters and dust flew into the face of the giant, temporary blinding him as his hands covered his face. Which was the chance to make the attack against the big opponent, so Howler did as his name suggested and howled with his jaws split. Sonic bang after sonic bang, as the blue werewolf moved with heightened speed to different locations to shoot the power bursts. In time it was showing off a series of powerful blunt force damage against the super strong monster. It was a single blast which decided it, as Howler shot a boom at the back of the giant's head. The huge monster's body jerked and fell, as Howler took a moment to study the bigger monsters. The chest rose and fell as it showed a knock out blow and not a killing one.
Howler rested for a few minutes before the watch face started to blink red as the countdown to his human form begun, as Tsukune looked for a way to get haunted house. To find safety in case of the Super Newspaper Club decided to convince more goons to attack, as well as see if Ruby could get those three guys some help from the nurse's office.
Elsewhere...
Keito moved to make her report to the president as she took time to itemize the major points she had on Tsukune. Her leader would want to hear all of the news, especially with this new werewolf development. This would change the plans they would have to undertake with Tsukune.
Also the cameraman was about to leave as well, as he had some thinking to do. The major one was the question of if he should confront Tsukune on the weirdness he had seen with the blue werewolf form on a moonless day. Something knew about from personal experience, experience which had told him this should have been impossible. Even a cloud covering the full moon during the day would cause the power of a werewolf to weaken to a great degree. Plus this new werewolf was super-strong, which was more a vampire speciality then the werewolf's speed bonus.
Which made our shutterbug want to know the truth, partly out of a desire for journalistic truth-seeking and partly out of a desire to learn if he could use this same power himself. Gin smiled as he thought of the things he could do if he had his full strength all of the time... like peek on the young ladies of the school and getting away before they could find him. Maybe even getting a nude shot of some girls like Moka or Kurumu, then living to enjoy the photos he took.
In the lands outside the school...
The Bus Driver for the Youkai Academy was trying to out race the tail which was following him, a tail made of flying metal sphere which were floating close to them. Yet they were currently cloaked in some kind of invisibility shield which was suppose to keep them from sight, which would work for someone with out the experience in the occult and strange.
They were focused on him for some reason as every time the bus moved to get away, they followed it. He was currently counting three of the spheres were on his rear, but who knew how many of them were going to follow him. The question was what they were after and where were they from?
'The fact they look like something out of a sci-fi film makes me think their linked with the Omnitrix, which means they're after Aono-san. Which mean they are after me for a portal to the academy to find him, and they must be from some kind of alien after the newest toy on campus. The next step is to ask if it's a good alien after it or the evil one the Headmaster has been divining about. So how am I going to take these bad boys down?'
