All of the men stood frozen with resentful glares on their faces. Omega:"That's a good bunch of loving family members...ta ta!" With that, Omega and the women disappeared via teleportation. Once they were gone, Inuyasha's anger exploded; Inuyasha:"DAMMIT! That lousy son of a bitch is going to pay for what he's done to Kagome, if it's the last thing I do!" Miroku:"Calm down, Inuyasha! I feel the exact same way, but simply running after that monster without a plan is suicide. His body is made of Adamant and he is inconceivably powerful. I no longer have the Windtunnel to suck him up into; even if we were able to locate him, it would take the combined efforts of everyone here just to lay a scratch on him."

Koga:"I don't care! He's got my woman in the palm of his hand, and we wolf demons never abandon our kin!" Sesshomaru:"Stop your barking, all of you! There is but one way to defeat that monster, and that is to send him straight to Hell with the power of the Tetsusaiga." Inuyasha:"What the hell are you rambling on about, Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru:"Do you not remember father's last wish? That I give the Tensaiga's power to your sword? With the Tetsusaiga's black state, you are able to unleash a portal to the underworld that will suck that Omega creature into it. Unfortunately, as I suspected, you haven't trained to use that ability effectively, have you little brother?" Inuyasha:"Grrrr. I never saw the need to...I always just used the Windscar to blow my enemies to bits, and the only time I was able to actually use the portal, for its desired purpose, was when you and I escaped from Hell ourselves. But, if I have to use the Black Moon Gates technique to save Kagome, then that's what I'm going to do!"

Shippo:"You've activated that technique once before, Inuyasha. The portal that gets generated pulls the enemy into Hell with the strength of a tornado. But, you've seen how strong Omega is. The portal's strength isn't going to be enough...you're going to need some kind of extra external force to send that monster through the threshold..." Behind them, everyone heard the sound of earth being moved; a few seconds later, they all saw a skeletal hand emerge from the Earth! The hand was quickly followed the remainder of a skeleton; after only a single second more, the skeleton became a shiny steel color, gained an extra set of arms, and grew in size. The group quickly recognized it as their fallen friend, because Matt's Dragon's Soul still shined around the skeleton! But, they also noticed that the Mace that usually extended from his arms was exposed, having no skin to brace itself against. The Mace fell to the ground and scattered onto the ground. Koga:"Jeez. Even with that regeneration ability of his, he took such a huge hit that he can't recover the whole way!"

Koga was quickly proven wrong, however; golden skin started to form at the feet of the metal skeleton, periodically dark black pads covered in spikes would encase the skin. As the others watched, eventually the regeneration reached Matt's torso, revealing a black shape going up his chest and down his back. Matt's arms all had large spiked pads that went half way up his forearms. Finally, the head reformed on Matt's skeleton revealing it to be a mask with a black outline around his blood-red eyes! As for the Mace, it started to float in the air and combine into something totally new! The Mace reconfigured and attached to Matt's back, in the form of an axe. The Axe was made completely of adamantium and had adamantium spikes extending off the edges of the axe. Matt's outer appearance had changed to that of Spawn, and he gained his voice as well. In addition, a few of his powers increased in strength! Brawn the Eternal Guardian was reborn!

Shippo:"What kept you, you fool! We've been worried sick and that Omega creep has escaped, with our friends in tow!" Matt:"Hey! Even for me, it's tough to regenerate when you've been reduced to nothing more than a couple of cells! But, that doesn't matter anymore. You said that Omega took Kagome, Sango, Rin, and Ayame?" Koga:"Yeah. While you were 'dead', he took over their minds and enslaved them. It's a pretty potent spell too; Kagome didn't even seem to be trying to resist as she shot Inuyasha in the shoulder." Matt's eyes narrowed with fury; Matt:"This time that loathsome bastard has gone too far! He's doing this to try to make me suffer in death, isn't he!" Miroku:"Indeed. He said, 'There is no greater way to make my enemy suffer than to make his friends suffer!', then disappeared into the forest, taken our loved ones with him." Matt:"That egotistical mother#%*er still thinks that he can hide from me while he's within range of my Soul Sense! He's about 50 miles away, sitting and waiting for all of you to come. And so you shall, but first he's going to get a rude awakening. Follow me, we're getting our friends back!" So, Matt and the others tore off into the forest in Omega Bowser's direction!

Off in the distance, Omega said to himself, "Hmm...I expected a confrontation by now, at least from that impertinent half-demon mongrel." With that, he looked down at his 'dolls' and said, "Hahaha. I guess you don't mean a damn thing to them after all!" A short time later, the heroes arrived in a thicket of bushes, just outside of Omega's stronghold. Kohaku:"Omega seems to be invincible, but everything has a weakness. Be it physical or mental, everything has a weakness." Miroku:"I thought I told you to stay in Kaede's village, Kohaku. I realize that Sango is in danger, but rest assured that we will save her. It's too dangerous here; Sango just got you back, she doesn't need to bury you again."

Kohaku:"Well, I am worried about my sister, but you see...Rin...I..." Matt:"I see...if that's the case, then it would be insulting for us to tell you to go home. Back to business; if there is one thing that I learned, it's that no matter how strong a spell is, there is always a way to dispel it. Omega's spell seems to be unbreakable, but there is one way to break it's hold on them." Inuyasha:"What is it? TELL ME!" Matt:"Although they are very strongly suppressed, their spirits are still in their bodies. Probably the only way to break that spell that Omega has placed on them is to remind them of why they fell in love with you in the first place. Do that, and they should return to normal. You guys focus on getting your loved ones back in your arms; I'm going to 'discuss' things with Omega."

With that the group dispersed and Matt made a head-on charge on Omega. Matt:"OMEGA!" Omega Bowser turned just in time to get slammed in the face with an adamantium fist. Matt did a right hook, followed by a left and a double-uppercut. Instead of simply doing a double right hook, Matt grabbed Justice, his axe, and slashed Omega in the face with great force. After three slashes, Matt roundhouse kicked Omega, sending him flying a little ways into the forest. Immediately afterwards, Matt heard four female voices say, "Master!" All four attacked him in rapid succession, but Matt was able to use Justice to block the attacks. First a Sacred Arrow was fired at his chest, then Hiraikotsu to his left side. Ayame attempted to use her Leaves & Wind attack, but the adamantium axe withstood the assault with ease. Matt looked down to see Rin wielding a magical, evil sword; the sword, though offensively powerful, was designed with weak steel. This, consequently, made it exceedingly easy for Justice to break the sword into pieces.

Matt:"Come on out, Omega! I'm not through with you yet!" Omega:"Why do you refuse to enter paradise and leave me to conquer all? And how are alive? I completely vaporized you!" Matt:"You vaporized me alright, but you missed a piece! And that's all I need to regenerate from injury. Now, you're in big trouble, you piece of shit! You inflicted upon me a mortal wound, but I recovered from it..." Omega:"Which means that that Saiyan DNA that courses through your veins made you stronger than ever when you recovered! That's why you look so different!" Matt:"I gave you one last chance to live the last time we fought, and this is how you decided to repay me...by turning my friends against one another and attempting to slay me. I'm through showing mercy to you, Omega! This time...all bets are off!"

Omega:"Heh...is that so? By all means, lash out with all your might. But, will you risk your friends to do it?" Using his magic, Omega placed his four captives in front of himself as a shield. True that they were immeasurably loyal to Omega in their hypnotized states, but the women still desired to live; they begged Omega to not use them as shields and squinted their eyes shut waiting for Matt to attack. To their surprise, they heard no noise, no signs of attack, and opened their eyes again. What they saw was Matt and the rest of the group just standing with their arms crossed, not moving a muscle.

Matt:"Heh, heh, heh. New dog, same tricks. You may be new and improved, Omega, but you still don't want to dirty your own hands or risk death." Kagome:"Don't let them talk about you like that, Master!" Sango:"Yes. Let us down, Master, and we will deal this group of interlopers." Omega:"Very well, I have some payback to deal out anyway." Per Omega's wishes, each of the women went straight for their "former" lover and attacked him. When Sesshomaru saw Rin going after Kohaku, he decided to aid Matt in his upcoming battle, leaving the others to fend for themselves.

Matt:"Ahhhh, did I strike a nerve, Omega?" Omega:"I'd shut my mouth if I were you! You may be stronger than you were, but I have nearly impenetrable skin, the strength of 3 million men, and all of Naraku's demonic power in addition to my own!" Matt:"Is that supposed to scare me, Omega? I've beaten you before, even when I was weaker than you!" Omega:"Aren't we forgetting that your friends were fighting along side you those times? But, they can't get here and your new friends are a little preoccupied at the moment!" Sesshomaru:"[Coming up behind Matt] The past matters not. But, at the present time, you are holding my daughter hostage, and I want her back!" Sesshomaru leaped at Omega, this time accompanied by Matt. The two slashed at different areas on Omega's body, but neither Bakusaiga nor Justice was able to penetrate Omega's Adamant coated skin!
