Nine Tailed System 135 The Little Mermaid

Alice: The mermaids, known for hating fighting, are killing each other… This must be the work of Black Alice.

Marco: Whatever, I'm falling…

Marco jumped once again from Diane's back and used the Chakra Gate, he bounced on the roof of a building before landing over the strongest-looking Mermaid, making her fall unconscious. The defender that was defending this area was coincidentally Meia.

*Ding*

Marco: Yo! Report of the situation.

Meia: Marco… Everyone evacuated into the church. Us mermaids are working together to stop them from attacking ther-

Marco: Oof!

Suddenly, a strong wall of water slammed onto Marco, sending him in the sea, since he didn't expected that move, he was unable to guard from it.

?: I saw that you had a mysterious power, human… So I decided to change the battle site!

Marco was currently underwater, but he was still able to breath thanks to the enchantment he took from the ball of guidance.

And then, Marco turned around and saw the attacker, it was a blue mermaid with blue clothings and blue long hair, she had big fins instead of ears and was carrying a trident.

Mermaid General: I am the Mermaid race's most powerful soldier, serving the Queen. I will not forgive anyone who dares defy me.

Marco: ...Sorry, but you made a incredibly big mistake that will cost your victory…

Mermaid General: And what it should be? Worthy opponent?

Marco: You and me are in the water together…

Suddenly a big charge of electricity came out from Marco, and the Mermaid General yelled in great pain from being electrified. Marco sighed as the Mermaid turned into an unconscious fish and absorbed the lightning he discharged before through the water.

Then he swimmed back to the Port and came out from the sea, fortunately it wasn't too far because he doesn't have anymore the affinity with Water.

After he came out, he looked at his clothes, noticing they were completely wet, so he just removed his s.h.i.+rt and shoes, leaving his pants on.

Marco: Alright… Where's that d.a.m.n queen… Hmm?

Marco looked around and found a small Mermaid, she had a small light purple tail with blue end, her hair were silver colored, and had big blue eyes, on top of her head she had 2 ahoges, and she wore some decorations on her neck and wrists, the only thing that can be considered a cloth is her small bra.

?: ~~~~ ♪ ~~~~~~~~ ♪ ♪

She was singing while waves of splas.h.i.+ng water crashed around her. Marco recognized her as El, the Princess. The Princess noticed Marco and got surprised.

El: Wahwah… Human…

Then she angrily pouted and glared at Marco, but it had another effect…

Marco: Awwww, that's cute…

He wasn't being sarcastic or something like that, Marco really found El cute, like a kitty.

Marco: h.e.l.lo little girl, do you know where is the Queen?

Surprised, she asked back.

El: Ehhh… You want to meet with mom?

Marco: Hoho? So you are her daughter? 'System, can you do something about the cooldown of the Nine Tailed Cub System?'

*Ding*

*Host doesn't need to worry, since the upgrade of the system, Host doesn't need to wait for the cooldown.*

El: I'm El, the Mermaid Princess. Mom doesn't want to see any humans… Are you trying to make mom sad again? I'll have to teach you stupid mean human a lesson!

Marco vanished in a cloud of smoke, making El flinch, and when the smoke vanished, it revealed a cute fox cub with 9 tails.

El: Ehhh!? Where is the human?

Marco: I am not human, I am a fox, see?

El: Waaaah! So cute!!!

El quickly came to Marco and hugged him like a plus.h.i.+e, fortunately he still had the power of the 2nd Gate and be able to use bijuudamas.

Marco: So… Can I see your mom? I want to talk about something with her, I promise to not hurt her unless she attacks.

*Ding*

*Special Quest: Don't hurt Laura unless she reveals to be hostile.*

El: Hmmm…. Ok!

She seemed to believe him, which was good because he would do as he said, then El took Marco on her arms to her mother, who suddenly appeared from the nearby river.

El: Mom!

Laura had a blue beautiful tail, she had a pale white skin, she was wearing a blue bra and many jewels on her neck and shoulders, she had white hair and wore a golden circle as a crown. She had blue eyes and black tear marks under her eyes…

Marco: ...Ulquiorra?

Laura: What?

Marco: Nothing… You just looked like a guy I seen before… Except for the white hair, and he was a guy…

Laura: Anyways, I heard that you wanted to talk to me, what was it, little fox?

Marco: Hey! Even if I am little, I am still strong!

Laura: Are you going to talk or not?

Marco: Tch… Anyways, can you stop attacking humans? I know we are selfish… Greedy… Prideful.. Stupid… And everything else, but we always manage to learn from the errors we make, and as you have seen, we were living in harmony with the Mermaids, why do you want to spread even more the relations.h.i.+p?

I know that you hated humans, but this isn't a reason big enough to make others hate them too, it's their own decisions to see if they hate them or not.

Laura: ...I will stop everything…

...Only if you beat me…

Marco: *Sigh* Sorry El, but I need to do it…

El: NO! Don't hurt mommy!

Marco looked at El's face, before looking at Laura's face with sympathy

El: Why do we need to hate humans? If we can be friend with them, then no one will get hurt!

Marco: Sorry Laura, I told her that I would not hurt you unless you attack…

Laura: *Sigh* I understand, I will not be friendly with them, yet…

Laura sighed in exasperation, and walked to the water with El, however something interrupted them.

The front warehouse collapsed due to the poundings from the waves in the middle of the invasion of the mermaids, surprising El from the sudden destruction, however Laura stood apathetic and Marco got serious, this was the test to see if everything works.

He opened his mouth and created a small bijuudama, then he threw it at the debris, destroying some of them and making an hole. From that hole, Marco could see an injured child. He turned back to his human form, surprising a bit Laura, and then he used the Chakra Gate.

He lifted up the other debris and picked the child, he had many cuts over his body and a hole in his chest, that pierced his lungs, the boy started to tremble and cough blood, then Marco turned around.

Marco: A small help? I don't have healing powers!

Laura: ...I said I hated humans. I have no intention of helping that child with my blood.

Marco just blankly looked at Laura, and then a voice was heard behind Laura.

El: Ermmm… Mom, can I save the boy?

Laura: It's your decision.

El immediately scratched her fingertip, drawing blood, and then she putted it in the child's mouth. The boy weakly groaned a few times, and Marco let out a small smile, the test was successful… The boy's breathing was getting calmer now, and then El hugged her mother.

*Ding*

*3317/??? saved*

El: I'm sorry, mom…

And then, Laura sticked out her right hand, and patted her head.

Marco: Awww…

Laura: Let's go home, El. Along with everyone else…

Then Laura, without even looking back at Marco, jumped into the sea, while El threw a quick glance at him before following her mother. Soon, the other mermaids were gone too.

*Special Quest[Successful]: Don't hurt Laura unless she reveals to be hostile.*

From behind, Alice slowly slithered.

Alice: Congratulations for saving this town, too.

Marco: Nah… I'm getting too soft…

Alice: It doesn't hurt being soft with others… Now let's go, Marco, there are other towns, and you need to get the spirits back.

Marco: Aye, aye…

Marco walked away with Alice, who was still being almost useless except for holding back the others from gang raping Marco.

Alice: Where do we go?

Marco: ...At the Haunted Mansion.

Alice: EH!? W-Why there? We need to get to Sylph...

Marco: ...Guts… Diane, get down.

Diane: Kweh!

And then, Diane landed in front of the mansion, letting down Alice and Marco.
