Chapter 12- Fatal Duel

"Fox Fire!" shouted Shippo as she began throwing fireballs at the trolls that approached.

Kensaku took out his long sword and rushed past the monsters; cutting down as he went by.

"He's good," said Kagome.

"He's not that good," Sephiroth said mumbling.

She smirked. "Don't get upset, because he's fighting off those trolls better than you did."

"Lets not start arguing," said Kenshin. "We need to focus on giving our energy to Zephyr."

"Fine," the two said together.

Sesshomaru bit Zephyr's tails which caused it to stumble over a little. It got to feet and tackled Sesshomaru to the ground and sent multiple blows to his face.

"Way to go!" said Selfina. "Beat his a...uhh...butt!"

Sesshomaru managed to kick the dragon off him and started swiping his claws at him. Zephyr moved out of the way of the strikes, but was unable to dodge the last hit. It fell to the ground.

"Zephyr," Jet said. "Stand up now. You're tougher than that. To let one blow knock you down!"

The dragon flapped its powerful wings, and quickly stood up. It turned around to face Sesshomaru and growled. The two began to walk around in a circle; not taking their eyes off each other. Sesshomaru was the first to make a move by charging after it. Zephyr took hold of him and slammed Sesshomaru to the ground.

"He's pretty good," said Sesshomaru getting to feet slowly. "But not good enough!" He ran after Zephyr and tackled it with all his might.

The dragon was knocked off his feet and didn't get up.

"There goes blow two," said Selfina. "And I think it's down for the count."

"Damn," Jet said placing his gun to his side. "Zephyr was my only guardian that actually matched Sesshomaru's strength. Moor Gault won't be much help."

The other put their weapons down as the glow from then faded.

"So, it that it?" asked Kagome. "We're finished. What was Vix thinking when she chose us to follow in the footsteps of the other heroes? I mean we haven't even made Sesshomaru's power go down...not even a little, now that he's in his true demon form."

"Vix was right to choose you five," said Kensaku turning around to face them. "I see you all have the same personality as my other friends and me as well. Also your heart is in the right place. When you all had the chance to go home; you all chose to stay here and fight no matter what the risks were." He smiled. "Kagome, you are just as kind as Rikka was. Jet, you are always putting others before yourself; just as Kye did. Kenshin, are you just like Tally. Always keeping to herself and is very mysterious. Selfina, you are very silly and goofy as Sabre was."

"Hey," said Selfina. "I can be serious...sometimes..."

Kagome grinned. "Keyword, sometimes."

Kensaku looked at Sephiroth. "You my friend...believe it or not. You are just like me. You act as a leader and is a little stubborn at times."

Sephiroth frowned and looked away.

Kagome hugged him and smiled. He looked down at her and smiled also.

"The whole point of what I'm trying to say is that you are like us. We didn't know how to defeat Azukari, but we didn't let that stop us. We tried our best, and our best turned into something great." He turned around quickly and stabbed one of the trolls who tried to attack him from behind. "They should know better than try to launch a surprise attack on me. Fools..."

Selfina laughed and looked at everyone. "We all need to put those brains of ours to work and think of something." She held out her sword. "We will defeat Sesshomaru and all this sh...err...crap will be over. What do you all say?"

Kagome put bow on top of Selfina's. "You should those bad words out of your mouth."

Jet and Kenshin placed their weapons in the middle also.

"I'm tired so the faster we defeat Sesshomaru; the more time I will have to sleep when I get home," said Sephiroth putting his Masamune on the very top.

Kagome mumbled. "Elder..."

"What was that?" he asked. "Say that to my face."

"I am in your face," she replied. "What are you going to do about it?"

"Hey hey hey!" shouted Selfina. "Can we act like mature people and on my count we say something like those people do on TV who always put their hands in the middle like we have them now? Okay...one...two...three..."

The other agreed. "Something like those people do on TV who always put their hands in the middle like we have them now!"

"Very funny..." said Selfina. "I didn't mean for us to say that!"

"We know," Kagome said. "That was a bit of sarcasm..."

Selfina glared at her. "Sarcasm my a...."

Before she could finish; all of their weapons began to glow. The weapons released from their hands and floated up to the sky. They all came together and combined into on huge weapon. The weapon fell into Sephiroth's hand.

"What the hell is this?" he asked. "It looks like a gun with two sword stuck to it."

The weapon looked like Jet's Airget-lamh B/V2, but it had two long handles that were similar to Selfina's Cutlass and Kenshin's Reversed Blade on each side of the gun-like weapon.

Kensaku stared at the weapon in amazement. "It's the Chaotic Destroyer."

"The Chaotic what?" asked Selfina.

"Chaotic Destroyer," he replied. "It's one the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. I heard about from Vix. Who would of thought it was actually made from the weapons my friends and I once held."

"This maybe our ticket to defeating Sesshomaru," said Kenshin. He took hold to one side of the weapon.

Kagome held onto the same side, as Jet and Selfina grabbed the other side.

"So what do we do with it?" asked Kagome. "Shoot it at Sesshomaru?"

Kensaku shook his head. "No, you aim it at Zephyr and shoot it. This weapon was meant to raise the power of anything or one."

They all raised the weapon up to Zephyr.

Sesshomaru growled. "What's that? I can use that small thing as a toothpick!"

"Unfortunately, it's not for your dirty teeth," said Selfina. "We have a surprise for you."

Sephiroth pulled the trigger underneath, and a beam shot from it. It flew over to Zephyr. The dragon stood up and made a loud roar as it's strength had returned. Zephyr took flight and did something almost unimaginable. Zephyr 's chest began to open and it pulled out its heart. Its' heart started to glow as Zephyr drove from the sky and into the ground. When the heart made contact with the ground it caused a huge explosion.

A powerful wind came from out of nowhere and began blowing everything away. Kensaku grabbed Shippo just as she started to float away.

"Thanks," said Shippo. "But next time be quick with it! I was about to be flying with the trolls."

"That wind is strong," said Kensaku. "All that is coming from them..."

"This can't be!" shouted Sesshomaru. "I...can't be defeat!!"

Sesshomaru's beam grew weaker and until it suddenly disappeared causing the other beam to hit him. An instant explosion blew everyone away. The entire island was swallowed in the light.
