Nine Tailed System 58 The 3rd Party

They left at morning to go to Plansect Village, and now it was around the 6 o'clock, they reached the entrance, which was just a path surrounded from thick trees.

Marco: So this is the entrance to Plansect Village?

In the original game, Luka, the protagonist, reached this place because he thought the monsters from different races lived here in harmony, then he found out that war was happening and beaten down the insect race before doing the same thing with the plant race.

Marco thought about a plan to solve the problem, and it was playing as the third party… But first, he needs informations because there may be a slightly variation on everything like it happened at the Colosseum and in other places.

Marco put up his hood, to not be recognized, and walked in the way. Some time later, he reached a small group, three insect monster girls surrounded two plant monster girls.

The three insect girls had the same general detail of any monster, human chest and head, while the rest was monster part, there were a moth, caterpillar and a mosquito.

Moth Girl: Hehe… Is that all monsters from the plant race have? You're all finished…

Mosquito Girl: Ahaha, I'll suck up all your body fluids.

Caterpillar Girl: Ehehe, it's our victory.

At the other side, the two plant girls were a druid-type, made of wood materials and roots connected to the ground, and a flower-type.

Alra Arum: Kuh… To think you all would corner us here…

Alra Rooty: If I wasn't injured, I'd deal with you damn insects…!

Moth Girl: Haha, unable to match my movements!?

Mosquito Girl: Haha, I'll suck you dry.

Alra Arum: Guh… When are reinforcements coming!?

Marco sighed, he decided to ask the plants before the insects, he used the 1st Gate and said.

Marco: Well, here is the reinforcements!

Everyone turned towards Marco.

Caterpillar Girl: Ohohoh? A human?

Mosquito Girl: Oh… A human coming to this village? How unusual. But why would he protect the Alraunes?

Marco, with the hood covering his face, walked towards the insects menacingly.

Moth Girl: Oh? You're approaching us? Instead of running away, you're coming right to us?

Marco: I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer.

*Special Quest: Beat the shit out of the Moth Girl*

Moth Girl: Hoho. Then come as close as you like.

At this moment, the Caterpillar Girl shot out silk from her mouth at Marco, but surprisingly, it burned the moment it touched his aura, since his aura was really hot.

Marco used Sylph, and sprinted at the Moth Girl, surprised from his sudden speed, she couldn't dodge and was smashed against a tree from a body slam. She glowed, and got sealed into a moth.

*Ding*

*Special Quest[Successful]: Beat the shit out of the Moth Girl*

Marco: One is down…

The Mosquito Girl recovered from the surprise and shot out towards Marco, trying to sting him with her tongue, however Marco stood in his place, without moving a single muscle.

When the Mosquito Girl hit Marco, instead of stinging him and drain him, her tongue bent as if she tried to sting an iron wall, Marco used Gnome this time, and stunned the Mosquito Girl.

Then Marco turned around and grabbed the Mosquito Girl's leg before slamming her in the ground and jump over her, crashing her ribs and sealing her in a normal mosquito.

The Caterpillar Girl was really intimidated from Marco, and when they made eye contact, she saw only a pair of slitted crimson eyes covered in shadow, and ran away in fright. There remained only the two Alraunes, surprised from the sudden change of events.

Alra Rooty: Y-You saved us! But… Who are you?

Alra Arum: You're human, aren't you? Why are you helping us?

Marco: In reverse order… I am helping you two because I want informations about what the hell is happening, yes I am human, and my name is…

...Madara… Madara Uchiha…

Alra Arum: Madara… Please, powerful being, please save us! Help us end this war as fast as possible!

Marco: War… Depends on the informations I get…

Alra Rooty: Yes, our leader's name is Priestess. She will be able to give you enough information.

Marco nodded and followed the two Alraunes.

[Later]

They reached the place, and found a little girl sitting in a throne made of roots and vines, she had green hair which ended as leaves, and instead of human legs she had vines, which looked as if she was wearing boots.

Alra Priestess: How do you do? My name is Alra Priestess. Since the reign of Alice 14th, I have looked after this land.

Marco: Hello, my name is Madara Uchiha.

Alra Priestess: Hm, I wish to thank you for rescuing those two from certain death. In addition, we are all quite in awe at the prowess showed when you repelled three of them by yourself… Many of us have fallen in the fierce battles up until now…

Even a single additional reinforcement could mean the difference between victory and defeat… However, I hope Sir Madara could grace me with the sight of his face…

Marco: I'm sorry, but I can't do it, let's say that it's part of my past that I want to keep a secret…

Alra Priestess: Oh… Then I will start telling you our story… This village was peaceful until 10 years ago. Us plants and the insect race lived together peacefully. But the insect race's leader, Queen Bee, began to oppress us.

Her intense cruelty was limited only to those of the plant race. That cruelty only continued to escalate… At first, the insects massacred us, clearly superior in fighting ability. In front of that overwhelming force, the blood o young and old alike flooded the forest…

We couldn't allow the genocide to continue… So we resisted. With the power of the mercenary Canaan Sisters from a foreign plant tribe, we managed to compete on equal terms.

Alra Rooty: That reminds me, Priestess… What happened to the Canaan Sisters?

Alra Priestess: They have been resting since the battle two days ago. Those two have fighting skills that surpass even mine. For the battles that are surely to come, we must conserve their strength.

Now back to the original story… With the power of the Canaan Sisters, we are on equal terms with them. But there isn't a single one of us who wishes to fight. If the insect race would cease all violence, we would put down our arms in a second.

So please, join us to help end this as fast as possible…

Marco: 'Time to plant the seed…' I will think about that, but I want to warn you… Something dangerous is coming…

Alra Priestess: ...What?

Marco: I know about it because I and it confronted against each other for many times, and every time I managed to escape for a fluke, but that 'Thing' is coming here right now…

Alra Priestess: W-What are you talking about?

Marco: That thing is not a human nor monster, 'it' is a demon… Coming from the depth of the abyss to wreak havoc in this world… He may be many times weaker than he should be, but he is still capable of killing an Heavenly Knight.

Alra Priestess: Stronger than an Heavenly Knight… What is that?

It seems that the Priestess fell on Marco's trap, he took a serious face and said.

Marco: It's the ninth Bijuu, the Kyuubi…

Alra Priestess: A… Bijuu?

Marco: Yes, in an unknown place there exists 10 beasts, they are called Bijuu, each one of them is classified from the number of their tails:

Ichibi, the one tailed Tanuki

Nibi, the two tailed Cat

Sanbi, the three tailed Turtle

Yonbi, the four tailed Monkey

Gobi, the five tailed Horse

Rokubi, the six tailed Slug

Nanabi, the seven tailed Rhinoceros Beetle

Hachibi, the eight tailed Ushi-Oni

Kyuubi, the nine tailed Fox

and the last one, Juubi, the ten tailed Abomination

Even if Ichibi is the weakest, he could clean the entire forest in less than 3 days, and the last one, the Juubi… If he is unleashed in this world, not even Illias and the first Alice put together could even hope to beat him.

Right now the Kyuubi is walking in this world, however, he is weakened, right now it's just an humanoid crimson beast with 4 tails… I came here to fight him in this place, in hope to stop him before things get in the deep shit, but I didn't expected a war between plants and insects here…

So I warn you, if you even want to hope to survive against him, you need to cooperate with the insects and kick him away, otherwise you will end like the others…

Alra Arum: Wh!?

Alra Priestess: Silence…

Alra Arum stood silent under the Priestess' order, the latter closed her eyes for a moment, and said.

Alra Priestess: I will think about it, but I want to ask you again, will you he- Huh?

She opened her eyes and found that the man called Madara wasn't there anymore, she was surprised and then ordered to the other plant monsters.

Alra Priestess: Search for him.

Alra Rooty/Arum: Yes, M'lady.

Then they left the place, trying to search for Marco.

Alra Priestess: *Sigh* The Kyuubi… If that is really true, then we need to prepare ourselves, maybe we can even control him and use him against the insects…

In another place, Marco was smiling under the hood.

Marco: Alright, time to start the plan…

He took out his coat and removed the hood, then he entered 'Start' and ripped it to pieces before scattering it away, he removed the backpack, and Alice came beside him.

Alice: What are you doing?

Marco: It's obvious as fuck that the insects and plants are doing war for another reason, so I want to fix things at my method.

*Ding*

*Special Quest: Make the Insect race and Plant race cooperate*

Alice: You want to attack both the races and tell them to stop?

Marco: Hot, but not fire… I will act as the third party and make them understand that they should stay together… If it doesn't work then I will act as you suggested. Now I will transform… Hold the backpack.

Marco threw the backpack at Alice, who caught it in air, and Marco entered the 1st Gate, Alice was curious about what he wanted to do so she hid somewhere else and spectated.

Soon, Marco entered the 2nd Gate, followed from the 3rd Gate, and finally he reached the 4th Gate for the third time in his life.

Marco: 'Well, it's time!' *Deeply inhales* GGGHRRRAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

His roar was heard in the entire forest, surprising both the Queen Bee and Alra Priestess, who was shocked.

Alra Priestess: He's already here?! Everyone! Go to check what it is!

Plants: Yes!!

Then the Plant monsters rushed away to scout.

Queen Bee: What is that? Everyone, gain informations about that roar!

Insects: Yes!!

Then the Insect monsters rushed away to scout.
