The morning in Kyoto was calm and peaceful that unknown to its citizens, a demon was on the loose and was just waking up. Ashura had only ¥50,000 to spend while she was running from the authorities. As she was walking down the street still in her hospital clothes, she saw a crowd of schoolgirls going by her. Ashura was confused about how the schoolgirls look ever since her creation.
“This is strange,” thought Ashura. “Each of these girls wears the same thing. Is this some new fashion statement or something else?”
This is the first time Ashura has seen a schoolgirl uniform, and it would be a change from the hospital gown she wears. Heading towards a side street, Ashura was walking around ever curious. However, she stumbled onto the stomping grounds of Aki Tamamura, the meanest delinquent girl in Nishizaki Junior High. She normally gets away with bullying the students or common people wandering in her “territory” because her father is the principal. However, Aki will find out what it feels like to try and bully a demon.
Ashura notices the same outfit as the other schoolgirls she witnessed first hand. Aki was in her normal demanding mood when she saw Ashura in her hospital gown demanding some money. Ashura didn’t want to give up the money given to her by one of the police officers in the hospital, so naturally, Aki began to slap her around and throw her down. Ashura was temporarily stunned before looking up at Aki.
“Now are you gonna be a good girl and hand over your money,” Aki demanded, “or am I gonna beat it out of you?”
Ashura had a sudden rage built inside her; most of it came from the Hamaya bloodline she was created with by the Saint Beasts. She charged at Aki and laid blow after blow upon the delinquent girl using Yin & Yang Hamaya’s techniques. After a few minutes, Aki lay on the floor bleeding and almost unconscious.
“Please…spare me!” Aki pleaded, crying herself to Ashura. “I’m sorry! I really mean it!”
“You really mean it?” Ashura said, temporarily lowering her guard. “Is that so?”
Before Aki can pull a cheap shot, Ashura grabbed the bully by the throat, holding her high in the air saying, “I don’t think so.”
Afterwards, Ashura ripped off Aki Tamamura’s head and left her body lifeless on the street. In desperation that anyone would recognize Ashura’s hospital gown, she took off Aki’s clothes including her underwear and left in a hurry back to her apartment, contemplating on what will happen next.

Elsewhere in the Caribbean Sea, Eva, Blackie and Mélodie were setting sail towards Cuba’s Guantanamo Bay to investigate the prison riot for their own purposes.
“Are we there yet?” asked Blackie.
“No,” Eva said. “We just left Costa Rica. We’ll be there in a couple of hours.”
“I’m hungry,” complained Blackie. “We need to eat.”
“You just ate hours ago,” Eva replied. “Now quit complaining!”
As Eva and Blackie were constantly bickering with each other, Mélodie was listening to the World Band Radio on the latest news around the world, just in case Eva tries anything in Cuba. Then, while listening to Japan’s radio stations, Mélodie heard the news about Aki Tamamura’s death in an act that looked like the works of the Hamaya Corporation.
“Eva! Blackie!” Mélodie called out. “There’s something you need to hear!”
“A little later, Mélodie!” Eva said. “I’m driving here!”
Mélodie turned up the volume so that Eva and Blackie can hear. There the Japanese radio announcer explained how Aki Tamamura died.
“So some punk girl gets murdered,” Blackie shrugged. “It’s no big deal.”
“But the announcer said it may have some connection to the Hamaya Corporation.”
Eva shot the World Band Radio in response, saying, “I don’t fucking need to hear about the Hamaya Corporation while I’m on vacation, OK?!”
“Well, before you shot my radio to Hell,” Mélodie retorted, “the police found one witness to the ordeal. They said her name was Ashura. She never revealed her last name.”
“Ashura?” Eva laughed. “What kind of buttmunch would name their daughter Ashura?”
“It’s no laughing matter, Eva,” Blackie said. “Ashura is the Hindi Goddess of Warfare. Remember, my father’s sect is based on Hindi, Chinese and Japanese religions. In China, Ashura was the demon goddess that was protected by four legendary beasts: Genbu, Byakko, Seiryu and Suzaku.”
“The legendary Saint Beasts!” realized Mélodie. “So I guess Mr. Hamaya must’ve hired his Saint Beasts to make a super-soldier!”
“Exactly!” Blackie said. “Knowing how Yoshi operates, he must’ve made that girl to kill us!”
Eva began to shoot wildly at Blackie and Mélodie until her gun ran out of ammunition. “JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!” she growled. “WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THE GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING HAMAYA CORPORATION?!”
A moment of silence fell upon Blackie and Mélodie.
“Fine, fine! We’ll go to Japan and kill this Ashura girl,” Eva consended, “but after that, you’ll owe me BIG TIME!”
Blackie whispered to Mélodie, “Must be her time of the month.” While a combat knife came a few inches to her head. Eva was at the steering wheel muttering, “I heard that, yujo.”
Eva still headed for Cuba’s Guantanamo Bay, but was pissed off since now she had to take a plane to Japan to find Ashura and the Hamaya Corporation.

Ashura was in her apartment cleaning up Aki’s clothing and trying it on for the first time. A sudden mood change began on the demon goddess as she twirled around in her newly acquired sailor uniform. She even flipped the back of her skirt to show her panties were a perfect fit.
“Now I know why these girls love to wear these outfits,” giggled Ashura. “They’re so much fun and very lightweight, too.” She then headed out the door where she saw more schoolgirls going by heading towards Nishizaki Junior High. One of them noticed Ashura and went to talk to her.
“You’re new here, right?” she said.
“Yes, I am,” Ashura bowed to her. “I just arrived yesterday.”
“I’m Yuriko Aomori,” the other schoolgirl said. “What’s your name?”
“I’m Ashura,” she said. “I don’t have a last name.”
“Well, you have to be called by some kind of last name,” Yuriko told her.
The only thing Ashura saw plenty of were buildings owned by the Hamaya Corporation, the same corporation that funded her genetic birth.
“Hamaya,” Ashura replied. “My name is Ashura Hamaya.”
“Come on, you’ll be late for school,” Yuriko said, taking Ashura’s hand gently.
For awhile, Ashura felt like one of the girls. Happy, free, and loving, Ashura almost felt human, but she still has the taint of a demon festering inside her.
Meanwhile, the Saint Beasts were strolling down the streets looking for Ashura in order to bring her to headquarters. So many schoolgirls were walking by as Ryuichi was trying to get a sneak peek under their skirts.
“You’re on the clock, dragon-breath!” Madoka sneered. “You’re supposed to be searching for Ashura, not a date!”
“Can’t I have some fun, Maddy?” Ryuichi snapped. “We’ve been patrolling the place for 2 days straight. Not one sign of Ashura ever since we lost her in the hospital.”
Sanzo was put in front of the Saint Beasts to make sure everyone clears out of the way. Suddenly, he spotted something far ahead. Ryuichi was still looking up a girl’s skirt and accidentally barreled into Sanzo.
“Next time, signal when you stop, Sanzo!” Ryuichi grumbled.
“Sanzo see something,” pointed out the giant. “Sanzo see naked body…with no head.”
“No head?” Hikaru said and ran towards Aki’s mangled body where a dozen police officers were on hand. Hikaru surveyed the damage and walked back to the Saint Beasts.
“Ashura is nearby,” Hikaru told his crew. “This was the body of Aki Tamamura, a juvenile delinquent. She must’ve started something to have Ashura decapitate her.”
“And her clothes are gone,” Madoka observed. “Don’t tell me you didn’t see that, Draco.”
“I don’t like bad girls, Maddy,” Ryuichi said. “Only the big cuties. Besides, a girl like her makes me sick anyway. Hikaru, have you found out what school Tamamura goes to?”
“I think she attends Nishizaki Junior High School,” Hikaru replied.
“That’s where we’ll find Ashura,” Ryuichi deduced, “and where I’m going to apply as teacher.”
“So you can score with a schoolgirl?” Madoka quipped.
“To find out where Ashura is!” Ryuichi snapped back.
“I’ll call Mr. Hamaya and let him know Ashura’s whereabouts,” Hikaru said. “Ryuichi, Madoka, you go undercover at Nishizaki and find Ashura. Sanzo, you’re with me.”
“Boss Man so happy to hear good news from us,” Sanzo smiled. “we get big promotion for job well done!”
The Saint Beasts headed back to their ruined laboratory to start their Ashura search. While Hikaru and Sanzo put on their trademark outfits, Ryuichi and Madoka were putting on school costumes and kept their trademark outfits in their cases. Afterwards, Ryuichi and Madoka headed towards the school to find Ashura.

Meanwhile, inside the school, Ashura walks into the class where she’ll begin her school work. The teacher was inside waiting for the class to begin. A few of Tamamori’s friends were inside the class waiting for new classmates for hazing rituals.
“Welcome, miss,” said the teacher to Ashura. “My name is Saburo Chiba. Would you mind writing your name on the board, please?”
“OK,” Ashura nodded silently. She began to write her name as the students looked on. The principal, Kazuo Takamori, was in his office checking out the new students filing in. When he read about how his daughter was killed, he was enraged. His problems got even worse. His daughter’s victims have complained to the schoolboard about her and her friends hazing them and if Takamori doesn’t do anything, the superintendent will take charge and revoke his license.
Ashura finished her name and stood in front of the class and announced herself. “My name is Ashura Hamaya,” she said, bowing to them.
Tamamori’s friends loved to bully supposed outsiders, but when they saw the Hamaya name, they decided not to be rash, knowing full well about the Hamaya Corporation and who Yoshi Hamaya is.
“Please have a seat wherever you like, Miss Hamaya,” said Mr. Chiba.
She decided to sit down next to Yuriko. All the class was silent since everyone has heard of the Hamaya Corporation. Yuriko bent over to whisper into Ashura’s ears.
“Be careful in this place,” Yuriko began. “The meanest girl in school is coming shortly. She’s the principal’s daughter who gets away with everything.”
“She’s that mean, Yuriko?” Ashura said. “I might be able to manage. Somehow, I think I can defend myself.”
“Just out of curiosity,” Yuriko continued, “is your last name really Hamaya?”
“I think so,” Ashura continued. “Last thing I remembered waking up, I saw the name Hamaya where I was resting.”
“And where would that be?” Yuriko asked.
“I think a place called Hamaya Laboratories,” Ashura noted. “Lately, I’ve been haunted by visions of something.”
The teacher cleared his throat to get the attention of Yuriko and Ashura. “Is there something you need to share with the rest of the class, girls?”
“Nothing, Mr. Chiba,” Yuriko and Ashura said simultaneously.
“Well, pay attention. We’re beginning class right now. Miss Takamori will come in soon, or when she feels like it.”
“I hardly doubt that,” Ashura whispered back to Yuriko.

Outside of the school, Ryuichi and Madoka were walking towards the entrance. Ryuichi was on his cell phone dressed as a teacher while Madoka reluctantly tagged along dressed in the same schoolgirl uniform as the other girls wear, including Ashura.
“We’re approaching the target now, big chief,” Ryuichi said.
“You know what to do,” a sinister, yet familiar voice replied. “I don’t like failure.”
“You don’t need to tell me twice, H-man,” Ryuichi answered to Yoshi Hamaya. “I’ll call back for any updates. Saint Beasts out.”
“Let’s just get this over with, Ryuichi,” Madoka grumbled. “I hate these sissy clothes!”
“You have to blend in, Maddy,” Ryuichi told her. “Besides, I think you look cute in them.”
“Just do the damn job, OK?!” Madoka growled while Ryuichi jokingly whistled at her.
“OK, Maddy,” Ryuichi nodded. “We’ll meet up with Hikaru after this day is done for more instructions.”
Ryuichi gave a hug and a nod to Madoka as they began to walk into the doors. At a side street, walking by the school dressed in a student uniform was Matsuhiro Hamaya, better known as Ti-Vite, Yoshi’s runaway third son who was named heir of the Hamaya Corporation but doesn’t want to become heir. He was reading the story of Aki Takamori’s death as well as the deaths of Mr. Matsuda from yesterday.
“Father is always up to something dirty,” Ti-Vite said to himself, “but this crosses the line. I don’t know why these deaths keep popping up, but it smells like my father is behind it all.”
He threw down his newspaper and watched the school for potential dates ever since Blackie was on the run with Eva and Mélodie. Then, he caught a glimpse of Ashura as her skirt went up during a small draft.
“She seems promising enough,” Ti-Vite thought. “I’ll ask around about her tomorrow before I do anything to her, then all bets are off.”
Ti-Vite then picked up his newspaper and walked away hoping to get a date with Ashura, not knowing she was created from using his DNA along with others from the Hamaya Corporation as well as Eva, Blackie and Mélodie. Tomorrow’s school activities would really be a learning experience for all the parties involved, in more ways than one.
