Chapter 1
'It's hopeless... our demonic energy isn't enough to restore the Grand Barrier...' Inner Moka thought to herself. 'Damn... just a little bit more...', 'just... a little... more...' as Inner Moka starts to collapse from the loss of her demonic energy, she is suddenly stopped by familiar hands.
"Tsukune...!" she said surprised
As Tsukune set Moka down carefully, he started to walk towards the altar that controls the barrier around the academy. "What are you trying to do...? Don't tell me…" Inner Moka realizing what Tsukune was about to do tries to stop him.
"You can't… you've already used up all of your energy! Don't do it Tsukune!" Moka exclaimed.
"Don't worry Moka-san, I will not let the barrier fall." Tsukune said calmly. "I will do whatever it takes to keep the school and the human world from being destroyed." as he continued towards the altar.
"I want to help this academy change for the better, I want to try and make it a little more peaceful." Tsukune said now in front of the altar with his hand a few inches from the Rosary of Judgment.
Tsukune then placed his hand down on the altar, which in turn started absorbing what was left of his demonic energy. The altar was taking too much energy from Tsukune which was causing the tattoos he only had when he was in his Ghoul state to appear on his neck near where Moka injected her blood into him during their fight with Midou.
"Don't be stupid… Do you want to die?" Moka yelled at Tsukune, but it was no use. Tsukune was determined to stop the barrier from falling.
"That idiot, does he really think he can stop the barrier with the strength he has now?" Hokuto said as he watched from the pile of rubble he was lying on due to Moka beating him just minutes before they had tried to repair the barrier.
There was flashes of electricity shooting around Tsukune' arm as more and more energy was being taken from him. The tattoos on his neck kept growing, and at the time it looked as though the Ghoul inside Tsukune was going to break free from the seal of the Holy Lock around Tsukune' wrist.
As Tsukune kept his hand in place, and was having every last bit of energy he had taken from him by the altar, the Holy Lock started to crack, Tsukune noticed this as well as Moka who stared almost horrified that Tsukune was going this far. "Tsukune…" was all she said to herself in the lowest of whispers. Tsukune, even knowing the risks of what would happen if the Holy Lock broke, never moved his hand away. The Holy Lock was shaking violently as his energy was being drained. In just a minute after one of the chain links in his Holy Lock cracked, the Holy Lock finally gave in to the stress being put on it and broke away from Tsukune' wrist.
Tsukune, Moka and the other girls all stared at the falling Lock horrified. The second the Lock hit the ground, a massive wave of demonic energy surged around Tsukune. Everyone was sure this meant that the Ghoul was freed, but then they noticed that the energy did not feel evil or corrupt as it did when Tsukune was first transformed into a Ghoul. Instead it felt very similar to Inner Moka' energy when she was released from her seal. 'What is this…? This power… it's not that of a Ghoul… it's more like it's…' Moka thought to herself but was cut off as she was blinded by the light of the energy emitting from Tsukune. The energy was blinding to the point that only a shadowy outline of Tsukune could be seen.
Once the light died down, Moka stared at Tsukune with her mouth hanging open and eyes as wide as they could be. The reason for her reaction was the physical changes to Tsukune. He now had silver hair that was a couple shades darker than Moka', his eyes were crimson red just like hers. All she did was stare at him in disbelief.
"What is going on here?" Hokuto said with wide eyes as he was staring at the changes in Tsukune' hair and eyes. "Has he really become a …" Hokuto stopped mid sentence as soon as he saw that the altar had stopped absorbing energy from Tsukune. Tsukune just stood there staring in a daze at the altar. When he finally remembered what he had done he turned around to look at his friends.
Moka just sat there, staring into Tsukune' eyes. They were the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. They were Crimson red with his pupils as slits. She was speechless until he walked up to her and spoke to her.
"Moka-san, are you alright? Can you stand?" he asked with concern although he himself looked like he was about to pass out.
It took her a minute to answer him, "Y-Yes Tsukune, I am fine." Tsukune gave her one of his smiles that he was famous for, and then out of nowhere he fell forward. Moka caught him before he hit the ground, then she cradled his head in her lap.
As she sat there admiring his sleeping face, she brushed some of his hair away and placed a quick kiss on his forehead. She pulled back to again to watch his sleeping face with a small smile on her lips. "Thank you Tsukune."
