A Sword Finds it's Mark
The swords continued to force against each other. The cracking sound grew louder. Zeramon and Sly looked at the blade of the Taznagolon. It was cracking.
"You can't possible be mortal!" Zeramon cried.
"Well I hate to disappoint ya, but I am!" Sly said as he pushed harder against the sword.
Then it happened. The determining event of Lylat and Sly's future. With a loud crack, the Taznagolon broke in two. The sword exploded in a blast of black magic energy, blowing Sly and Zeramon away from each other. Then amidst the black energy, 12 white souls flew around and headed for there proper bodies.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Zeramon cried, wide eyed in disbelief. The souls returned to their bodies. Once the souls entered their bodies, the bodies jolted and wiggled violently as she souls were reabsorbed.
"Yes. Rest easy. Your gonna live." Sly said as he watched the souls enter their bodies. He didn't notice Zeramon bring a small knife down and stab it into his back.
"AAHHHH!" Sly cried as he dropped the sword and fell to his knees. The knife was still sticking out of his back.
"You may have destroyed the Taznagolon," Zeramon said as he pointed to the two pieces lying on the ground. They caught fire and disintegrated, never to return. "But you haven't save them. I can still use that knife in your back to kill them all!"
Sly tried to get up but the pain was to much. Then he cried in pain as Zeramon pulled the knife out of his back. Blood poured from the wound. He watched as Zeramon ran for his friends. He ran at their still reviving bodies.
"NO!" Sly cried as he jumped up, ignoring the pain. He ran after Zeramon.
In the woods, the bad guys just stared at the scene in disbelief.
"No, it can't be!" Mz. Ruby cried.
"That's....impossible!" Raleigh added hysterically.
"Hey, you guys seem to be missin' out on all the fun." Came a voice from behind them. There stood Link, Zelda, Capt. Falcon, and the Mario Brothers, fist ready.
"Uh....no hard feelings, right?" Ganandorf choked out.
"Oh yeah, plenty of 'em." Capt. Falcon taunted. Then the group proceeded to wallop and hog tie the gad guys.
As Sly reached Zeramon, he jabbed the Excalibur at his back. Zeramon turned around and the Excalibur stabbed right into his heart. Sly let go of the sword as it stuck into the demon. He rolled on the ground and tried to sit up and watch the end of the demon.
"AAAAHHHHH! NOOOOOO!" Zeramon cried with the sword still sticking in his chest. The rain stopped. A lightning bolt flew from the sky and struck Zeramon. His body flashed and Sly saw his skeleton each time his body flashed. Then black magic swirled around his body until it turned into blue energy. The blue energy was sucked into Zeramon. He cried in pain then began to glow red. Before the final stages of his demise, he said his final words.
"Cooper, I was wrong. You won because you were mortal. Your feelings for you friends destroyed me! CURSE YOU AND MAY YOU DIE A PAINFUL DEATH!!!!!!!"
Then he turned black and began to develop orange lava cracks all over his body. Then in a brilliant orange flash, he exploded, his hatred, dark magic, and plans for domination went with him. The Excalibur fell to the ground and began to glow white.
"Good riddance." Sly muttered to himself. Then everyone woke up. Carmelita saw Sly's back bleeding and ran over to his side. She knelt down beside him and tried to nurse the wound Sly began to faint.
"Sly! You can't die! I love you!" Carmelita cried as tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Kid, you beat 'em! You gotta live to tell ya kids about it!" Falco cried. He too was starting to cry.
"Damn it Kid, don't die!" Fox cried as he hung his head on Krystal shoulder.
"You can't die Sly! What's the fun of us being married if we ain't got another couple to be friends with?" Krystal sobbed as she hugged Fox tightly and cried into his shoulder.
"Cooper, your not gonna die!" Bill cried in denial.
"Guys, look at the sword! It's still glowing!" Katt cried as she pointed at the Excalibur. It's glow was getting brighter.
On the other side of the arena, Yusake and his friends woke up.
"What happened?" Kuwabara asked.
"I feel like I've been asleep forever." Keiko said as Yusake helped her up.
"Hey, what's goin' on over there?" Yusake asked.
"I think Sly's hurt." Hiei statedd.
"He's the hero, we've gotta go help 'im." Botan commanded.
The group started to head for the group around Sly, but Kurama caught Botan's arm.
"Botan, I have something to tell you." Kurama said as he looked deeply into her eyes.
"What Kurama?" Botan asked.
"I love you Botan." Kurama said as he pressed himself closer to her. Botan stared at him a second.
"Why didn't you tell me before we almost died?" Botan asked.
"I was going to, but never got the chance." Kurama said as he kissed her.
"I love you to, Kurama." Botan replied as she held him tighter.
Meanwhile Link Zelda, Capt. Falcon, and the Mario. Brothers drug a hog tied group of bad guys out of the forest. They drug them over to where everyone else was. Robin, Marian, Bentley, and Murray all awoke and ran to Sly's side.
"Oh my God, Look at that wound." Murray cried.
"Forget the wound, look at he sword!" Robin commanded. Everyone looked at the Excalibur. The white glow exploded and Slytenkumen's spirit arose from the sword.
"Sly, you did what I couldn't. You defeated Zeramon permanently. What do you want as your reward?" the spirit said.
"Please heal his wound!" Carmelita begged the spirit.
"No, restore Lylat as it was 3 months ago. I'll get over the wound myself." Sly commanded.
"It shall be done." The ghost said. Sly watched as the explosion went nuclear. It engulfed the entire solar system in a sea of white.
Sly woke up in a hospital bed in Corneria City.
"What happened? Where is everyone?" He asked to no one in particular. The voice of his favorite person answered.
"You saved Lylat and We took you to a hospital." Carmelita told him with relief in her voice.
"Where is everyone?" Sly asked, still a little weak.
"The guys from the Medieval Planet went back to normal living, Yusake and the gang took the bad guys to Arth Police Headquarters, and the Star Fox team are outside in the lobby along with Bentley and Murray." Carmelita said as she helped him up.
In the lobby, Fox and Krystal sat talking, Falco was playing a Gameboy advance, Murray and Bentley wouldn't take their eyes off the outgoing, arriving headboard, and the rest of the team was playing poker. A red headed boy and a blue haired girl walked in.
"Hey Botan!" Krystal said as she waved her hand at them.
"How's it hanging?" Fox greeted Kurama.
"Short, shriveled, and a little to the left." Kurama laughed as a greeting.
"Funny." Botan said as she punched him playfully at his vulgar joke. She really didn't mind the joke. She was just playing.
"Finally." Bentley muttered as Sly's name flashed on the outgoing patients list. Sly soon appeared looking good as new.
"Lookin' good, kid." Falco said as he gave him a thumbs up.
"Good to know your alright." Katt stated.
"What a relief." Bill sighed.
"Hey, after that explosion, what happened to the Excalibur?" Sly inquired.
"It turned into dust and was scattered into the wind." Fox told him.
The group talked a while about the up coming double wedding. Fox+Krystal and Sly+ Carmelita.
"Never seen one of them before." Botan said.
"This aught ta be interesting." Kurama stated
The friends each hailed a different taxi to take them to the 5 star hotel in which they were all staying. Once they reached their hotel rooms, they all slept the night away. Carmelita and Sly, however, had sex. As did Fox and Krystal.
The wedding was beautiful. Carmelita and Krystal wore the finest white Cornerian gowns and Fox ans Sly looked so handsome in their tuxedos. Basically, it was like any other wedding, but with two couples. It was held in Notre Dame. The gowns had to be imported. Even Hiei wore a suit, much to his disliking. It was a very formal, fun,(due to the dance afterward) and just plainly great.
2 weeks later, after the wedding Carmelita and Krystal broke the news to their husbands. They were pregnant. Fox and Sly just picked them up and swung them around. Of course, being foxes, there gustation period was only 5 months.
1 and a half years later:
In the suburbs of Paris in the middle of fall, Sly and Carmelita were sitting on a porch swing, watching the leaves fall. A 16 month old baby girl fox tugged at Sly's leg. He picked her up and she fell asleep in his arms. Carmelita was sitting very close to him, bottle feeding a newborn baby boy racoon. Fox and Krystal were walking up the steps for the Thanksgiving feast the group had planned. They two, had a 16 month old baby girl that looked like her mother and a baby boy that looked like her father. The whole gang from the war 1 and a half years ago was there. Botan and Kurama showed up, holdings hands and Botan had a diamond ring around her finger. As Carmelita led everyone inside to the food, Sly turned around and looked up into the sky. Slytenkumen and his father were looking down at him. The each nodded and gave a thumbs up sign. Then they disappeared. Sly smiled and felt Carmelita kiss his cheek. He kissed her lips and followed her back into the house, where not only his friends awaited, but his baby girl, who hugged his legs tightly. He picked her up and went on with the feast.
"One day, I'll tell her. And my son. I will never keep any secrets from them." Sly thought to himself before they said the blessing. Outside a breeze blew and it sparkled a little as some golden dust glittered.
The End
I'll be back with more fics! I promise!
