MART'S WRATH
Mart watched as the girl walked slowly up to the Shadow Assassins but she could do nothing as the girl turned her mirror and began to collect their souls. She watched in horror as more demons came down from the sky to devour their flesh only to have the girl stop them with her hands. By then the door opened in front of Mart to reveal Kaede and Jaken both bloody from battle. "We need to leave now!" she said and Mart as well as the others did not argue as she led them out. Quatre was the first to notice the many weapons on the wall and taking one a giant Boomerang from the holder he decided to use it incase something comes at them. The others did the same all accept Mart who was still supporting a bad arm and her legs where too weak to move any faster.
As they ran for it Mart stopped in her tracks to look at the girl with the Mirror, "LEAVE THEM ALONE YOU BITCH!" she screamed and tried to charge at them only to have a demon assault her from behind. "Well if it isn't a dog demon what a rarity it is," said the girl as she came up to her. "I am Kanna second child to Naraku and collector of souls." She said with a mock bow as she turned to Mart lets see if we can collect your soul," she said and turned the mirror.
Toji stopped his flight when he noticed that Mart was not following and turned to find her pinned to the ground by another demon and the white girl holding her mirror up to her. "Mart!" Toji said and Myouga was the one to stop him, "It does not work on Mart for without a soul Kanna has no power over her," he said and Toji stopped in a start to dive. "You mean that she can't harm her," Toji said and the flea nodded, "Unfortunately without her soul Mart can't fight in this battle." With that Toji flew off to find the others.
Heero was the first to be found by the little bat as he flew down and told Heero what had happened to Mart. Stopping in his tracks he turned and followed the bat back to the battle. "I do not know how this sword could be so evil but I have to protect her as she did for me," he said taking out Tokijin and the sword tried to take him over but found that Heero's will it too strong so then it gave in to its new human master.
Mart thought she was going to get it when it something happened, "Ah why does my mirror not work?" Kanna yelled as she grabbed the mirror and stared into it. "It was suppose to collect your soul," she said and looked at her mirror, "Come on Kanna collect her soul already," another demon grumbled and it was then that Mart began to giggle, " What is so funny wrench!" another demon said before he beat her to the ground adding more to her injuries, "I have no soul," Mart said and they all gasped, "Don't make me laugh a creature like you has to have a soul to keep the flesh alive," Kanna said and Mart stood up on one leg, "Well I do not have a soul and I am standing what does that tell you bitch!" Mart snapped back at her and Kanna smiled, "Then that gives the boys a satisfaction of knowing that they can kill you," she said and waved her hand down to the demons to kill Mart.
They came down all at once but were stopped when a powerful sword came into contact with them. The demons where cut into many pieces or sliced in half as the sword came around again. Looking up Mart saw the fierce look of Heero Yuy holding the Tokijin in his hands. Mart could only gaze up at him and see the swords glow before passing out.
Heero held the sword in his hands and felt its need for blood. He would give it blood alright demon blood. "Alright I owe this demon a favor so it is by right that I save her ass and kick yours," he cursed them before charging. Kanna was ready and activated her mirror. Heero was caught looking into the mirror when he felt his soul being sucked from it. The demons then began to tear to Mart then started in on Heero when.
A giant boomerang came flying out from the trees and slices the demons in half before being caught and sending both it and its master to the ground. Quatre huffed as the air was sucked out of him. 'This takes some getting used to,' he thought as he ran to Heero and checked if he was ok and found that he was. The snow as red with blood as he readied the boomerang again. Kanna was the first to rise, "Well it seems that you have learned how to use the Hiraikotsu." She said before she activated her mirror but before she could do that Heero grabbed Quatre and pulled him down, "Do not look into her mirror it will suck you in," he said and Quatre nodded. Kanna sent the demons after them again when Heero sliced into them with the Tokijin and Quatre the Hiraikotsu. Giant footsteps came from the snow covered trees as three gundams where made known followed by two others slightly behind.
Heavyarms opened fire on some of the demons letting Quatre and Heero get off the ground and grabbed Mart. Mart's eyes began to twitch as she came into the light of consciousness again her facial stripes could not be recognized due to the blood on her face. "Do not worry Mart we will get you out," Quatre said and started to help her up when she whispered, "No forget me save the others," she said and Duo was already on it slicing into the demons that tried to get at Charlie and the others. Some other mobile suits started to fire at him and he shot back followed by Altron. Sandrock and Wing Zero landed safely beside them as they tried to get up the rope.
Kaede was the first to emerge from Wing Zero along with Jaken as they leaped down to the ground to help Mart. Mart weakly got up with their help and started to walk towards the gundam when an explosion filled their view and another figure began to walk towards them through the mist. Mart's head lifted up at the strange smell, "Kohaku," she growled but barely could stand. She then stands up on her own and began to walk towards Kohaku. "Mart what the hell are you doing?" Kaede screamed, "If I want to free my friends then I will fight for I was always there for them in the past and this is not stopping me now," she declared, "Don't be stupid girl!" Wufei screamed at her from the Altron before clobbering another demon with his dragon fang. The dog demon did not listen and continued to walk towards the now healed Kohaku. "Still injured I see Moro owe well it looks as if I have to kill you," he said and snapped his fingers releasing his chain blades out of nowhere and threw them at her. Mart was thrown to the tree where the other Shadow Assassins where on the ground unconscious. She slowly got up but was pinned to the tree by one of Kohaku's blades.
Heero watched as Kohaku used his other blade to tear into Mart's flesh and drawing more blood. "At this rate she will never survive," Jaken stated and he drew flames from his staff at Kanna. "Give them back their souls you leach!" he screamed and Kanna only laughed and turned her mirror at them only to be hit from behind by an arrow. Kaede and the others looked up to see a wounded Sango holding a bow and arrow ready for use. "Do not harm my granddaughter or her friends you soul sucking leach!" she screamed in Japanese and released another arrow. The purifying energy from the arrow shot out towards Kanna who used the mirror to deflect it back at the old lady and pierced her heart. "Grandmother Sango!" Kaede yelled and ran to her.
She held up the old woman's head and began to cry, "Grandma why?" she said and Sango gently lifted her arm towards Kaede, "You look so much like our ancestor Kagome even though we are of her brothers line," she said and Sango passed on leaving Kaede alone with the wind flowing through her bloody hair. "Ah isn't that sweet it seems that I have killed her how tragic," Kanna said smiling which caused Kaede's blood to boil. Grabbing her grandmothers bow and arrows she was surprised to find that they where broken.
"Are you sure that Kaede could use these?" Toji said as he flew out of what was left of the well carrying a load with him. Two bundles and a stack of arrows along with a bow, "Yes Kaede would need it for Kagome's arrows are stronger then Kikyo's arrows. Because Kagome kept her soul hate free her priestess powers where even greater then Kikyo's" he said on Toji's shoulder. "But what about these they are useless," Toji stated and Myouga only shrugged, "There is a chance that they can be useful so we must get them to lady Kaede and Mart as fast as you can fly," he shouted to Toji who flew higher to avoid another attack by a demon.
By now the battle has raged into the city of Tokyo and the many residents that lived there have already fled to their respective shelters. After the apocalypse there where shelters built for those who wish to escape the demons that have come to kill them. Altron and Heavyarms along with Deathscythe and Sandrock have been fighting for a while and all of them are pretty battered. "Man what would I kill for a long vacation to the beach or something," Duo said as he slashed another mobile suit and then upper cut a demon across the face. He was then attacked by an ogre, "Shit this is a case of the monsters coming out of the movie." He cursed again as and ogre got his claws into his back. He managed to kick the ogre breaking its knee and then slashing through him.
Next to him Trowa have long since ran out of bullets and is now using his hidden blade in his arm to slash his way through all the monsters. "These suits where designed to fight other suits not monsters." Trowa said as he slashed again and this time he was relieved when a tiger came flying thought and crashed into the next demon that tried to attack him. "It is about time you woke up," he said and Jimmy only roared in response before he was off again.
Heero tried to fight the demon only to find himself being cut up as well. Running away to a safe distance he held the Tokijin in front of him. The sword shielded him from the blades that Kohaku threw at him as well as attacks from Kanna's mirror. Beside him Jaken and Kaede where fighting as well. "We have to save Mart she is the only one who can fight them," Heero shouted at her and Kaede nodded but she could not get through to them because of the constant assaults from both Kohaku and Kanna.
Kaede was lost for here she was fighting off two of Naraku's most powerful henchmen and a friend stuck to the tree of time. She was very angry as she shot more of her arrows and found that she had run out. Even her gun that she pulled out was long since empty and her ammo was gone. "Shit I am out!" she yelled at the others. Jaken was getting tired as well beating away some of the demons and managed to get a few hits from them as well. The toad demon was tired and so were she and Heero. Heero was fairing on his own with the Tokijin, "Heero you have to get to your gundam the others need you," she shouted to him, the stopped another attack from Kohaku to turn to her, "I am not leaving that girl pinned to the tree she saved me and it is time I do the same," he shouted back at her, "I know you care for her like family Heero but you will be of more help in your gundam then out here," Kaede shouted back, "Besides Jaken and I can take care of things here," she said and slashed at another demon and hitting an ogre with her bow. Nodding in agreement Heero made a run for his gundam which was still parked just outside the temple.
Jaken and Kaede along with the remaining staff of the temple found themselves trapped in the circle of Avenger demons and soldiers. Kohaku and Kanna both smiled, "I think I can handle it here Kohaku go report back to Master Naraku," Kanna said and Kohaku nodded then walked off.
Toji and Myouga in the mean time where having a hard time flying out of the way of the many demons that tried to get to him. Flying higher then he has ever been before Toji was getting tired as well and the flea on his shoulder knew it.
Kaede was about at her last when he bow broke under the pressure of another demon and Kanna approached them from the front. "Now before I was interrupted the first time it is time to collect a few souls." She said changing her mirror around so that way the reflection of Kaede, Jaken and the others where staring at her.
Toji spotted the others in a tight circle, "Myouga they are in trouble!" Toji shouted to the flea, Myouga looked down and indeed found that Kaede and the others where in trouble, "We have to give the arrows to Kaede quickly drop swords at their feet." He shouted and Toji did just that and watched as the two bundles dropped, "Now dive down and give the arrows and the bow to Kaede it is out only chance," he shouted and the bat demon folded his wings and dove.
Kaede and the others felt the life that they had being sucked from them to the delight of Kanna. "I did not know that you have quite a personality now Kanna," Jaken said between clenched teeth, "Well that is what I have for living for a thousand years." Kanna replied just then something hit the ground in front of all the demons and deflected Kanna's magic. Flying back the pure white girl was shocked to see this, "What the hell?" she said and all she saw was a bundle then another one landed in front of Jaken. Kanna was shocked till she looked up and saw a small black mass fly pass her and towards Kaede, "Kaede!" it shouted, "Toji?" she said and Toji flew over her head and dropped something in the process.
Kaede looked down to find a bunch of arrows and a bow picking them up she fired at Kanna and was surprised by the amount of power that it gave off. Kanna flew back and smashed into the snow. She then got up slowly and was very angry by this, "Why you," she said and she started to get up, "Kill them all," she ordered and the demons began to go in for the kill.
Time slowly passed for Kaede when she heard a voice it was distant but she could hear it. "Kaede," Kaede looked up to see a girl standing in front of her and was surprised that it looked like her exactly like her only the girl was wearing a sailor fuku. The uniform was green and white with a red tie in the middle, "Kaede," she said and Kaede looked at her and recognized her from the photos her family had kept throughout the years. "Lady Kagome," she said in shock, Kagome smiled at her, "Kaede take the bow and arm yourself and shot at the necklace around Mart's neck." She said, "Why?" Kaede asked, "To release her soul," and with that she disappeared into nothing.
Returning to reality Kaede was surprised now that the bow that she held in her hands began to pulse, 'I feel Lady Kagome's spirit in this bow,' and she grabbed an arrow and pulled the string back. The others wanted to know what she was up to when she fired an arrow. The arrow flew true and at the same time cleared a path through the demons that swarmed at them. "Quickly everyone this way," she said and ran through the path followed by the rest of the Higurashi staff. Running as fast as their feet could carry them through the snow they managed to find a place to take shelter in.
The arrow flew through the demons still and over a shocked Kanna, "You miss you bitch," she said and Kaede rose from her shelter, "Is it," she said and Kanna turned to find that the arrow headed straight for Mart who was not on the ground because Kohaku removed the blade from her heart. The arrow stuck the necklace around her neck and shattered it.
A heart beat could be heard throughout the city. Kanna got up and turned to where the tooth was and could hear the heartbeat. "What the hell?" she thought as she came towards the dog only to be pulsed away by a powerful force. Jaken was watching this and stood dumbfounded till he picked up a scent. "What did you do?" he asked Kaede and the girl smiled, "I freed her soul," Kaede said and Jaken then sniffed the air again. This time he found that the scent was coming from the dog demon.
Justin, Jimmy, Steven, and Charlie stopped in their fight and sniffed the air as a smell came from the wind. The smell was that of the ocean the smell of the wind and the wild wastelands of their homeland. "That smell," Jimmy said and the others picked it up, "There is only one demon we know with that smell," Charlie said and began to run towards the temple only to be stopped by a group of demons.
"I am getting a reading from the temple," Wufei said as he analyzed the surge in power from the temple, "It is coming from the tree," he stated and they all turned but had to resume the battle when reinforcements came to help their fellow Avengers.
The heartbeat was all but enough to start the healing process in Mart as Kaede ran up to the dog demon and watched with fascination as her wounds began to heal. That was not the only features it seems as if her strength has begun to return as well. Kanna not standing any of this began to beat at the barrier that protected Mart but found that she could not get through it. It was then that she heard another heartbeat.
Jaken heard this too and turned his attention to the two forgotten bundles on the ground. "Kaede look the Tetsusaiga and the Tenseiga are reacting," he said and Toji landed, "It is true then Mart is truly from the dog demon clan," Myouga said bounding up Jaken's shoulder, "You knew this Myouga?" Jaken said, "I had a hunch but now it was proven," he said as the swords then burned through the wrappings. Then they disappeared to everyone horror instead stood two translucent figures. Jaken stared in shock as he recognized both of them looking towards his shoulders he noticed the Myouga has done the same. "Master Inu-Yasha, Lord Sesshoumaru," he said as they both turned to each other and began to walk towards Mart.
They saw a third soul emerge from the reminisce of the tooth. Kaede was shocked as well when she saw this, "Myouga tell me that I do not see the two most powerful demons in the world standing on the temple grounds." She said and the flea only nodded, "We are seeing their spirits as if the swords where housing them all this time."
The two spirits walked past the still sleeping demon and up to the translucent figure standing before them. It was of a girl with short, black, curly hair cut short sporting a baseball cap. "Is that the real Mart," Kaede said as she killed another demon that was trying to sneak up on her with her knife. The other demons kept their eyes on the enemy but also as the spectacle before them. Sesshoumaru kneeled down to eye level with the short stocky girl. Kaede noted that she has some strange clothes on not fit for the cold of Japan, but then noted that this must be Mart's real soul a soul that stood tall in front of the demon spirits. 'They really were human," one demon said and that made someone else's blood boil.
Kanna reached for her mirror only to find it melted under the stare of Sesshoumaru who then turned towards Mart's figure again. The soul was not afraid as it stood tall, 'For someone who is born a human you have the will of a demon,' Sesshoumaru said as he caressed her cheek, 'You have proven yourself to be a worthy vassal for our blood and an heir. You as well as your companions are heirs to the powers that each demon whose blood was used to make you who you are now as given up their powers to your companions already as soon as they have mastered their weapons. Without knowing it a part of them flows thought them but you," he said pointing, 'are unique among our clan. You where born a human yet Naraku our hated enemy turned you into a demon. Because you did not want to be controlled your will is what drove you to become who you are now it is what made you survive.' He said and this time Inu-Yasha spoke he turned to the stunned gatherers, 'Let all who see us take not that this girl here is now a full member of the Inu clan for in her blood flows not one but two of the most powerful demons to ever existed. I give her the ownership of the Tetsusaiga,' he stated, 'and I the Tenseiga,' Sesshoumaru added, 'together they become the Tensaiga the sword of life and death,' the chorused together, 'As well as make her a true demon mind, body, and soul.'
Mart's soul suddenly was pulled into the sky by the two ghosts as they swirled around her and causing her body to lift as well.
The light that came from the Higurashi temple was enough to stop the fighting as every person from the fight turned towards the light. Even Kohaku who was watching from above took note of this new predicament.
Mart was floating as she felt her body began to fuse with that of the Inu brothers first her soul embraced Inu-Yasha and then Sesshoumaru and formed the look that her body had now; clawed hands with stripes coming off of each hand, stripes on each side of her face just under her eye with a crescent moon on her fore head. A red stripe on each eye and white silky hair. Her soul became taller and leaner then her stockier form. She became more delicate and refined as her eyes changed from dark brown to golden yellow and became slited like a cats. Her soul then entered her body and her tattered kimono disappeared leaving behind a nicely refined body. But that did not last as clothes began to appear on her feet then on to a Hakama black as night. (A.N. the original sketches of Mart I did showed her wearing red but I changed it to black) she then had her upper body covered in a under kimono then a Haori also black. The thing about it was that on the very bottom as well as on the sleeve ends and on her shoulders where white patterns, they had a hexagon with a flower design in the middle of each shape. A sash appeared around her hips that looped down then back towards the center and tied around her waist. Then last but not least a sheath with a sword came around and landed on her hip side. 'The armor you wear is from the fire rat a rare breed of fire rat found only in the deepest bowls of the earth. Whose fur is as black as night. It will protect you and on your side is Tensaiga bear it proudly and bring Naraku to justice.' With that they all watched as she descended to the ground.
Kanna did not waste her time at all for she ordered an attack to happen. The demons that obeyed her charged but then disappeared as they approached her. Shocked Kanna ordered one of the ogres to get her when it was sliced in half. Showering the snowy ground in blood Kanna stared in shock at the new Mart. She screamed an order to get the demon when she was silenced. Mart had walked up to Kanna without her even knowing. 'She is fast!' Kanna noticed but what filled her with dread was the cold calculating look in Mart's eyes. They where cold and held a tint of red in them, "You dare to hurt my friends so you will die." She said and Kanna got up and ran as fast as she could. Running was getting her nowhere when a whip came out of midair and struck her from behind. Turning in horror Kanna saw something that would make her remember it for the rest of existence.
Through the snowy mist where the blood of demons, ogres, and humans fell along with fires from the many mobile suits, missiles, and bullets where thrown stood the most Fearsome creature that everyone had seen. Glowing red eyes stared back at Kanna before she was devoured by Moro no Kimi the ultimate assassin.
The sun had begun to set when the others tried to get some of the reinforcements off of them. Wufei's Altron already where suffering from malfunction in one of his arms. The extending arm was torn off by a squid demon when it sprayed its acidic ink at him. "I'd rather be fighting like the old days then monsters," he said to himself beside him Justin was bleeding from the many wounds on his body as well and Wufei was worried. The Shadow Assassins were taking it pretty bad already he could see his own companion limping from an injury to the leg and his tail was at an odd angle. (Meaning it was bent) Justin was bleeding all over and blood was dripping down on the ground. Looking around with his gundams eyes Wufei could see that they where cornered and saw that the others where not fairing very well either.
Duo he could see was missing a leg and his gundam's head was bent at an odd angle backwards. One of his legs was falling off so he was using his scythe as a walking stick at the same time trying to fight off the various demons trying to get at them. 'There are still more coming' he thought as he watched Quatre fighting off a mobile suit using his good fist since his other hand was missing. One of his legs was no longer working since he was slashed from behind by an ogre and his shotels where in pieces on one side.
Looking around again Wufei could spot Trowa barely holding off on his own since his blade is broken and he had long since run out of bullets. He was helped by some of the demons that came with them from the Higurashi Shrine but they too where looking worse for ware. There was a moth demon who was missing a wing but he continued to fight along side the Heavyarms and a giant bird demon flew above offering aerial support. Wufei could also see Heero was not too far off either; having his buster rifle broken and exploded in one of the building to the right the smoking ruins of the city of Tokyo anyways. His Wing Zero was the worse of the lot because his shield was gone and so was one of his wings. One arm was hanging and Wufei saw the damage to the circuits and a slash near the cockpit cavity. 'One more hit in that region and Heero's dead.' Wufei thought beside Heero Charlie fought but he was blinded by the blood that flowed down into his eyes.
Turning his head again he saw that Jimmy was down already used up his energy and was too badly wounded to fight on. He could see the tiger sprawled on the ground hidden from enemy eyes or noses. Off to the far left stood Steven his face bloody but he managed to be the least damaged of the Shadow Assassins but that was before Wufei saw the huge gash on his side showing his intestines. Taking another hit from behind Wufei thrust his trident into the heart of a monstrous scorpion that was aiming for his back. The scorpion fell but not before he hit Wufei with his stinger injecting acid that melted the other arm off leaving nothing but liquid. "Shit!" Wufei cursed and he saw Justin already on the ground having been stung by the scorpion's sting.
The hour of night had already begun and the city was dark except for the various fires that erupted throughout the city. A lone figure walked through the city giant white paws stained with blood treaded through the ruins. Hearing the calls for help it helped a group of people escape from the trap they where in. seeing the dog many thanked it and others where too traumatized to do anything but run. Mart followed a scent till she came to a clearing in the buildings and saw that many of the gundams as well as the Shadow Assassins were down. A deep growl came from her throat as she let the venom in her saliva drip onto the sidewalk. It melted right through the pavement into the subway system below. Growling she approached the group as the demons began to advance on them.
Charlie could barely move since his limbs where no longer working. One of the demons that had struck him down was deciding weather or not to kill him or to skin him alive then kill him. Beside Charlie another wolf demon was also in pain. It was one of the Higurashi demons and an ally to Charlie. As the demons came closer having been decided on their choice of death for the young wolf demon a pair of red eyes appeared through the shadows and bit down on one of the demons. The demon screamed in pain as venom dripped from the demons fangs as it thrashed the demon about crushing him till he was melted and dead. The other demon began to run at the new comer but the red eyed demon dodged it and slashed it with its claws. The demon was dead in an instant having its head cut off. It was then that more demons after hearing the cries of a comrade came to attack the new comer only to fall under the demons sharp claws and teeth. 'This demon is good glad it was on my side,' he though but it was then that the scent caught his nose it was the same scent as before. Eyes widening at the sight he tried to get up only to find that he could not move.
Mart after seeing that those demons where disposed of changed back into her normal form and stood over Charlie. His eyes widened when he saw her, "Mart!" he whispered and she took out the Tensaiga, "Hold still," she said coldly and waited till the ball bearers came then killed them saving Charlie and healing him. She then moved over to the other wolf and did the same. The wolf was grateful before he bounded off to help anyone else. Mart gave Charlie on final look before she leaped off and the wolf followed. Having turned back the wolf boy looked at Mart over, 'She has changed,' he thought no longer he saw the happy go lucky girl that he always thought as a friend now he sees the very angry side of Mart. 'This is what she meant before when she says that once she is pissed there is no stopping her.' He thought as he followed her. Leaping to the highest building left in the city Mart surveyed the now quiet battle field. Here and there screams of people calling for help where heard and various demons fighting in the distance.
"What are you going to do now Mart?" Charlie asked, and was surprised when Mart howled to the wind.
Every Shadow Assassin ear that heard that howl rose to their feet with new found strength. Justin rose to the surprise of Wufei who was unable to move the gundam. Steven being the worse bounded off towards the howl. Jimmy roared back a reply before he slowly got up. Other demons heard this as well and rose to fight when they heard the new comer. The wind blew as Mart howled in the wind and let the world know that Moro no Kimi was back.
The Gundam Pilots where shocked when they heard the response to all the demons that where helping them. Turning they opened their cockpits to see a lone figure on a building with long white hair and a black Samurai outfit on. But that was not the least of it now the figure had some sort of armor on it.
The armor looked similar to that of Japanese samurai but there where spikes on the shoulders. There are also leg garments that protected the loins and the sides as well. (Think Sesshoumaru's armor without the boa) wild silver hair flowed through the wind as the glowing red eyes flowed through the darkness. They stared in awe at the new comer as it took out its sword and shouted something in a language that they did not understand but the Shadow Assassins did. "IMUA!" They shouted and charged in for the kill.
The demons did not have a chance when they saw the new found strength of the Shadow Assassins wounded as they seem. Only Charlie was fully healed and with his strength returned. The lone figure leaped off after them and from what they could see on the ruins slashed its way through hordes of demons with a single swipe of its claws. Only when the demons came close then the one with the silver hair surrounded by the Shadow Assassins made itself known. Walking into the light they could see it was Mart but she was different.
On top of the Tokyo Tower stood Naraku in his full form and Kohaku, Kagura and Kanna on his side as well. "It would seem that our little dog demon has returned." He said and the others nodded, "So we have a real fight on our hands now that the Shadow Assassins are back." he said turning to Kanna, "If you say is true then there is no doubt that Moro no Kimi has the powers of both Inu-Yasha and Sesshoumaru on her claws." He smirked as he held the Shikon Jewel in his hand. It glowed darkly with power and malice, "This world will fall anyway like it did before and I will sit at its throne and all shall bow to me," he said and the others bowed before him.
"Montemura," Naraku called and a giant bird demon appeared, "Deal with out guests." He ordered and the bird demon took off after his new prey.
Steven collapsed as the final cut had gutted him again this time letting his guts spill from his body as he fell. When he opened his eyes again he saw a familiar form above him and he was fully healed. Getting up he saw her heal the others as well for they did not have the opportunity as Charlie did. Getting up he fought again this time at full strength and harder then before. The dog demon led the charge against the demons. It was then that they heard something coming towards them.
Out of the streets the demons grew silent and moved aside as a giant lizard came into view. Mart only snorted, "Great just what we need another Godzilla wanna be," she sniffed and held her nose for the thing stinks. It did not see her yet for the darkness hid her features well. The clouds of smoke and dust hid the others as well and from what Mart could see she saw the thing clearly.
It was a giant lizard that was a cross between a croc, a chameleon, and an iguana. Its head was like that of a crock but its tail was like that of a chameleon but its body including the spikes belonged to that of an iguana. The claws of the giant where humongous as it swiped its hand through a building and watched it crumble. "Where is the dog demon that hurt Mistress Kanna!" it bellowed and Mart smirked as she walked out.

MART'S WRATH
Mart watched as the girl walked slowly up to the Shadow Assassins but she could do nothing as the girl turned her mirror and began to collect their souls. She watched in horror as more demons came down from the sky to devour their flesh only to have the girl stop them with her hands. By then the door opened in front of Mart to reveal Kaede and Jaken both bloody from battle. "We need to leave now!" she said and Mart as well as the others did not argue as she led them out. Quatre was the first to notice the many weapons on the wall and taking one a giant Boomerang from the holder he decided to use it incase something comes at them. The others did the same all accept Mart who was still supporting a bad arm and her legs where too weak to move any faster.
As they ran for it Mart stopped in her tracks to look at the girl with the Mirror, "LEAVE THEM ALONE YOU BITCH!" she screamed and tried to charge at them only to have a demon assault her from behind. "Well if it isn't a dog demon what a rarity it is," said the girl as she came up to her. "I am Kanna second child to Naraku and collector of souls." She said with a mock bow as she turned to Mart lets see if we can collect your soul," she said and turned the mirror.
Toji stopped his flight when he noticed that Mart was not following and turned to find her pinned to the ground by another demon and the white girl holding her mirror up to her. "Mart!" Toji said and Myouga was the one to stop him, "It does not work on Mart for without a soul Kanna has no power over her," he said and Toji stopped in a start to dive. "You mean that she can't harm her," Toji said and the flea nodded, "Unfortunately without her soul Mart can't fight in this battle." With that Toji flew off to find the others.
Heero was the first to be found by the little bat as he flew down and told Heero what had happened to Mart. Stopping in his tracks he turned and followed the bat back to the battle. "I do not know how this sword could be so evil but I have to protect her as she did for me," he said taking out Tokijin and the sword tried to take him over but found that Heero's will it too strong so then it gave in to its new human master.
Mart thought she was going to get it when it something happened, "Ah why does my mirror not work?" Kanna yelled as she grabbed the mirror and stared into it. "It was suppose to collect your soul," she said and looked at her mirror, "Come on Kanna collect her soul already," another demon grumbled and it was then that Mart began to giggle, " What is so funny wrench!" another demon said before he beat her to the ground adding more to her injuries, "I have no soul," Mart said and they all gasped, "Don't make me laugh a creature like you has to have a soul to keep the flesh alive," Kanna said and Mart stood up on one leg, "Well I do not have a soul and I am standing what does that tell you bitch!" Mart snapped back at her and Kanna smiled, "Then that gives the boys a satisfaction of knowing that they can kill you," she said and waved her hand down to the demons to kill Mart.
They came down all at once but were stopped when a powerful sword came into contact with them. The demons where cut into many pieces or sliced in half as the sword came around again. Looking up Mart saw the fierce look of Heero Yuy holding the Tokijin in his hands. Mart could only gaze up at him and see the swords glow before passing out.
Heero held the sword in his hands and felt its need for blood. He would give it blood alright demon blood. "Alright I owe this demon a favor so it is by right that I save her ass and kick yours," he cursed them before charging. Kanna was ready and activated her mirror. Heero was caught looking into the mirror when he felt his soul being sucked from it. The demons then began to tear to Mart then started in on Heero when.
A giant boomerang came flying out from the trees and slices the demons in half before being caught and sending both it and its master to the ground. Quatre huffed as the air was sucked out of him. 'This takes some getting used to,' he thought as he ran to Heero and checked if he was ok and found that he was. The snow as red with blood as he readied the boomerang again. Kanna was the first to rise, "Well it seems that you have learned how to use the Hiraikotsu." She said before she activated her mirror but before she could do that Heero grabbed Quatre and pulled him down, "Do not look into her mirror it will suck you in," he said and Quatre nodded. Kanna sent the demons after them again when Heero sliced into them with the Tokijin and Quatre the Hiraikotsu. Giant footsteps came from the snow covered trees as three gundams where made known followed by two others slightly behind.
Heavyarms opened fire on some of the demons letting Quatre and Heero get off the ground and grabbed Mart. Mart's eyes began to twitch as she came into the light of consciousness again her facial stripes could not be recognized due to the blood on her face. "Do not worry Mart we will get you out," Quatre said and started to help her up when she whispered, "No forget me save the others," she said and Duo was already on it slicing into the demons that tried to get at Charlie and the others. Some other mobile suits started to fire at him and he shot back followed by Altron. Sandrock and Wing Zero landed safely beside them as they tried to get up the rope.
Kaede was the first to emerge from Wing Zero along with Jaken as they leaped down to the ground to help Mart. Mart weakly got up with their help and started to walk towards the gundam when an explosion filled their view and another figure began to walk towards them through the mist. Mart's head lifted up at the strange smell, "Kohaku," she growled but barely could stand. She then stands up on her own and began to walk towards Kohaku. "Mart what the hell are you doing?" Kaede screamed, "If I want to free my friends then I will fight for I was always there for them in the past and this is not stopping me now," she declared, "Don't be stupid girl!" Wufei screamed at her from the Altron before clobbering another demon with his dragon fang. The dog demon did not listen and continued to walk towards the now healed Kohaku. "Still injured I see Moro owe well it looks as if I have to kill you," he said and snapped his fingers releasing his chain blades out of nowhere and threw them at her. Mart was thrown to the tree where the other Shadow Assassins where on the ground unconscious. She slowly got up but was pinned to the tree by one of Kohaku's blades.
Heero watched as Kohaku used his other blade to tear into Mart's flesh and drawing more blood. "At this rate she will never survive," Jaken stated and he drew flames from his staff at Kanna. "Give them back their souls you leach!" he screamed and Kanna only laughed and turned her mirror at them only to be hit from behind by an arrow. Kaede and the others looked up to see a wounded Sango holding a bow and arrow ready for use. "Do not harm my granddaughter or her friends you soul sucking leach!" she screamed in Japanese and released another arrow. The purifying energy from the arrow shot out towards Kanna who used the mirror to deflect it back at the old lady and pierced her heart. "Grandmother Sango!" Kaede yelled and ran to her.
She held up the old woman's head and began to cry, "Grandma why?" she said and Sango gently lifted her arm towards Kaede, "You look so much like our ancestor Kagome even though we are of her brothers line," she said and Sango passed on leaving Kaede alone with the wind flowing through her bloody hair. "Ah isn't that sweet it seems that I have killed her how tragic," Kanna said smiling which caused Kaede's blood to boil. Grabbing her grandmothers bow and arrows she was surprised to find that they where broken.
"Are you sure that Kaede could use these?" Toji said as he flew out of what was left of the well carrying a load with him. Two bundles and a stack of arrows along with a bow, "Yes Kaede would need it for Kagome's arrows are stronger then Kikyo's arrows. Because Kagome kept her soul hate free her priestess powers where even greater then Kikyo's" he said on Toji's shoulder. "But what about these they are useless," Toji stated and Myouga only shrugged, "There is a chance that they can be useful so we must get them to lady Kaede and Mart as fast as you can fly," he shouted to Toji who flew higher to avoid another attack by a demon.
By now the battle has raged into the city of Tokyo and the many residents that lived there have already fled to their respective shelters. After the apocalypse there where shelters built for those who wish to escape the demons that have come to kill them. Altron and Heavyarms along with Deathscythe and Sandrock have been fighting for a while and all of them are pretty battered. "Man what would I kill for a long vacation to the beach or something," Duo said as he slashed another mobile suit and then upper cut a demon across the face. He was then attacked by an ogre, "Shit this is a case of the monsters coming out of the movie." He cursed again as and ogre got his claws into his back. He managed to kick the ogre breaking its knee and then slashing through him.
Next to him Trowa have long since ran out of bullets and is now using his hidden blade in his arm to slash his way through all the monsters. "These suits where designed to fight other suits not monsters." Trowa said as he slashed again and this time he was relieved when a tiger came flying thought and crashed into the next demon that tried to attack him. "It is about time you woke up," he said and Jimmy only roared in response before he was off again.
Heero tried to fight the demon only to find himself being cut up as well. Running away to a safe distance he held the Tokijin in front of him. The sword shielded him from the blades that Kohaku threw at him as well as attacks from Kanna's mirror. Beside him Jaken and Kaede where fighting as well. "We have to save Mart she is the only one who can fight them," Heero shouted at her and Kaede nodded but she could not get through to them because of the constant assaults from both Kohaku and Kanna.
Kaede was lost for here she was fighting off two of Naraku's most powerful henchmen and a friend stuck to the tree of time. She was very angry as she shot more of her arrows and found that she had run out. Even her gun that she pulled out was long since empty and her ammo was gone. "Shit I am out!" she yelled at the others. Jaken was getting tired as well beating away some of the demons and managed to get a few hits from them as well. The toad demon was tired and so were she and Heero. Heero was fairing on his own with the Tokijin, "Heero you have to get to your gundam the others need you," she shouted to him, the stopped another attack from Kohaku to turn to her, "I am not leaving that girl pinned to the tree she saved me and it is time I do the same," he shouted back at her, "I know you care for her like family Heero but you will be of more help in your gundam then out here," Kaede shouted back, "Besides Jaken and I can take care of things here," she said and slashed at another demon and hitting an ogre with her bow. Nodding in agreement Heero made a run for his gundam which was still parked just outside the temple.
Jaken and Kaede along with the remaining staff of the temple found themselves trapped in the circle of Avenger demons and soldiers. Kohaku and Kanna both smiled, "I think I can handle it here Kohaku go report back to Master Naraku," Kanna said and Kohaku nodded then walked off.
Toji and Myouga in the mean time where having a hard time flying out of the way of the many demons that tried to get to him. Flying higher then he has ever been before Toji was getting tired as well and the flea on his shoulder knew it.
Kaede was about at her last when he bow broke under the pressure of another demon and Kanna approached them from the front. "Now before I was interrupted the first time it is time to collect a few souls." She said changing her mirror around so that way the reflection of Kaede, Jaken and the others where staring at her.
Toji spotted the others in a tight circle, "Myouga they are in trouble!" Toji shouted to the flea, Myouga looked down and indeed found that Kaede and the others where in trouble, "We have to give the arrows to Kaede quickly drop swords at their feet." He shouted and Toji did just that and watched as the two bundles dropped, "Now dive down and give the arrows and the bow to Kaede it is out only chance," he shouted and the bat demon folded his wings and dove.
Kaede and the others felt the life that they had being sucked from them to the delight of Kanna. "I did not know that you have quite a personality now Kanna," Jaken said between clenched teeth, "Well that is what I have for living for a thousand years." Kanna replied just then something hit the ground in front of all the demons and deflected Kanna's magic. Flying back the pure white girl was shocked to see this, "What the hell?" she said and all she saw was a bundle then another one landed in front of Jaken. Kanna was shocked till she looked up and saw a small black mass fly pass her and towards Kaede, "Kaede!" it shouted, "Toji?" she said and Toji flew over her head and dropped something in the process.
Kaede looked down to find a bunch of arrows and a bow picking them up she fired at Kanna and was surprised by the amount of power that it gave off. Kanna flew back and smashed into the snow. She then got up slowly and was very angry by this, "Why you," she said and she started to get up, "Kill them all," she ordered and the demons began to go in for the kill.
Time slowly passed for Kaede when she heard a voice it was distant but she could hear it. "Kaede," Kaede looked up to see a girl standing in front of her and was surprised that it looked like her exactly like her only the girl was wearing a sailor fuku. The uniform was green and white with a red tie in the middle, "Kaede," she said and Kaede looked at her and recognized her from the photos her family had kept throughout the years. "Lady Kagome," she said in shock, Kagome smiled at her, "Kaede take the bow and arm yourself and shot at the necklace around Mart's neck." She said, "Why?" Kaede asked, "To release her soul," and with that she disappeared into nothing.
Returning to reality Kaede was surprised now that the bow that she held in her hands began to pulse, 'I feel Lady Kagome's spirit in this bow,' and she grabbed an arrow and pulled the string back. The others wanted to know what she was up to when she fired an arrow. The arrow flew true and at the same time cleared a path through the demons that swarmed at them. "Quickly everyone this way," she said and ran through the path followed by the rest of the Higurashi staff. Running as fast as their feet could carry them through the snow they managed to find a place to take shelter in.
The arrow flew through the demons still and over a shocked Kanna, "You miss you bitch," she said and Kaede rose from her shelter, "Is it," she said and Kanna turned to find that the arrow headed straight for Mart who was not on the ground because Kohaku removed the blade from her heart. The arrow stuck the necklace around her neck and shattered it.
A heart beat could be heard throughout the city. Kanna got up and turned to where the tooth was and could hear the heartbeat. "What the hell?" she thought as she came towards the dog only to be pulsed away by a powerful force. Jaken was watching this and stood dumbfounded till he picked up a scent. "What did you do?" he asked Kaede and the girl smiled, "I freed her soul," Kaede said and Jaken then sniffed the air again. This time he found that the scent was coming from the dog demon.
Justin, Jimmy, Steven, and Charlie stopped in their fight and sniffed the air as a smell came from the wind. The smell was that of the ocean the smell of the wind and the wild wastelands of their homeland. "That smell," Jimmy said and the others picked it up, "There is only one demon we know with that smell," Charlie said and began to run towards the temple only to be stopped by a group of demons.
"I am getting a reading from the temple," Wufei said as he analyzed the surge in power from the temple, "It is coming from the tree," he stated and they all turned but had to resume the battle when reinforcements came to help their fellow Avengers.
The heartbeat was all but enough to start the healing process in Mart as Kaede ran up to the dog demon and watched with fascination as her wounds began to heal. That was not the only features it seems as if her strength has begun to return as well. Kanna not standing any of this began to beat at the barrier that protected Mart but found that she could not get through it. It was then that she heard another heartbeat.
Jaken heard this too and turned his attention to the two forgotten bundles on the ground. "Kaede look the Tetsusaiga and the Tenseiga are reacting," he said and Toji landed, "It is true then Mart is truly from the dog demon clan," Myouga said bounding up Jaken's shoulder, "You knew this Myouga?" Jaken said, "I had a hunch but now it was proven," he said as the swords then burned through the wrappings. Then they disappeared to everyone horror instead stood two translucent figures. Jaken stared in shock as he recognized both of them looking towards his shoulders he noticed the Myouga has done the same. "Master Inu-Yasha, Lord Sesshoumaru," he said as they both turned to each other and began to walk towards Mart.
They saw a third soul emerge from the reminisce of the tooth. Kaede was shocked as well when she saw this, "Myouga tell me that I do not see the two most powerful demons in the world standing on the temple grounds." She said and the flea only nodded, "We are seeing their spirits as if the swords where housing them all this time."
The two spirits walked past the still sleeping demon and up to the translucent figure standing before them. It was of a girl with short, black, curly hair cut short sporting a baseball cap. "Is that the real Mart," Kaede said as she killed another demon that was trying to sneak up on her with her knife. The other demons kept their eyes on the enemy but also as the spectacle before them. Sesshoumaru kneeled down to eye level with the short stocky girl. Kaede noted that she has some strange clothes on not fit for the cold of Japan, but then noted that this must be Mart's real soul a soul that stood tall in front of the demon spirits. 'They really were human," one demon said and that made someone else's blood boil.
Kanna reached for her mirror only to find it melted under the stare of Sesshoumaru who then turned towards Mart's figure again. The soul was not afraid as it stood tall, 'For someone who is born a human you have the will of a demon,' Sesshoumaru said as he caressed her cheek, 'You have proven yourself to be a worthy vassal for our blood and an heir. You as well as your companions are heirs to the powers that each demon whose blood was used to make you who you are now as given up their powers to your companions already as soon as they have mastered their weapons. Without knowing it a part of them flows thought them but you," he said pointing, 'are unique among our clan. You where born a human yet Naraku our hated enemy turned you into a demon. Because you did not want to be controlled your will is what drove you to become who you are now it is what made you survive.' He said and this time Inu-Yasha spoke he turned to the stunned gatherers, 'Let all who see us take not that this girl here is now a full member of the Inu clan for in her blood flows not one but two of the most powerful demons to ever existed. I give her the ownership of the Tetsusaiga,' he stated, 'and I the Tenseiga,' Sesshoumaru added, 'together they become the Tensaiga the sword of life and death,' the chorused together, 'As well as make her a true demon mind, body, and soul.'
Mart's soul suddenly was pulled into the sky by the two ghosts as they swirled around her and causing her body to lift as well.
The light that came from the Higurashi temple was enough to stop the fighting as every person from the fight turned towards the light. Even Kohaku who was watching from above took note of this new predicament.
Mart was floating as she felt her body began to fuse with that of the Inu brothers first her soul embraced Inu-Yasha and then Sesshoumaru and formed the look that her body had now; clawed hands with stripes coming off of each hand, stripes on each side of her face just under her eye with a crescent moon on her fore head. A red stripe on each eye and white silky hair. Her soul became taller and leaner then her stockier form. She became more delicate and refined as her eyes changed from dark brown to golden yellow and became slited like a cats. Her soul then entered her body and her tattered kimono disappeared leaving behind a nicely refined body. But that did not last as clothes began to appear on her feet then on to a Hakama black as night. (A.N. the original sketches of Mart I did showed her wearing red but I changed it to black) she then had her upper body covered in a under kimono then a Haori also black. The thing about it was that on the very bottom as well as on the sleeve ends and on her shoulders where white patterns, they had a hexagon with a flower design in the middle of each shape. A sash appeared around her hips that looped down then back towards the center and tied around her waist. Then last but not least a sheath with a sword came around and landed on her hip side. 'The armor you wear is from the fire rat a rare breed of fire rat found only in the deepest bowls of the earth. Whose fur is as black as night. It will protect you and on your side is Tensaiga bear it proudly and bring Naraku to justice.' With that they all watched as she descended to the ground.
Kanna did not waste her time at all for she ordered an attack to happen. The demons that obeyed her charged but then disappeared as they approached her. Shocked Kanna ordered one of the ogres to get her when it was sliced in half. Showering the snowy ground in blood Kanna stared in shock at the new Mart. She screamed an order to get the demon when she was silenced. Mart had walked up to Kanna without her even knowing. 'She is fast!' Kanna noticed but what filled her with dread was the cold calculating look in Mart's eyes. They where cold and held a tint of red in them, "You dare to hurt my friends so you will die." She said and Kanna got up and ran as fast as she could. Running was getting her nowhere when a whip came out of midair and struck her from behind. Turning in horror Kanna saw something that would make her remember it for the rest of existence.
Through the snowy mist where the blood of demons, ogres, and humans fell along with fires from the many mobile suits, missiles, and bullets where thrown stood the most Fearsome creature that everyone had seen. Glowing red eyes stared back at Kanna before she was devoured by Moro no Kimi the ultimate assassin.
The sun had begun to set when the others tried to get some of the reinforcements off of them. Wufei's Altron already where suffering from malfunction in one of his arms. The extending arm was torn off by a squid demon when it sprayed its acidic ink at him. "I'd rather be fighting like the old days then monsters," he said to himself beside him Justin was bleeding from the many wounds on his body as well and Wufei was worried. The Shadow Assassins were taking it pretty bad already he could see his own companion limping from an injury to the leg and his tail was at an odd angle. (Meaning it was bent) Justin was bleeding all over and blood was dripping down on the ground. Looking around with his gundams eyes Wufei could see that they where cornered and saw that the others where not fairing very well either.
Duo he could see was missing a leg and his gundam's head was bent at an odd angle backwards. One of his legs was falling off so he was using his scythe as a walking stick at the same time trying to fight off the various demons trying to get at them. 'There are still more coming' he thought as he watched Quatre fighting off a mobile suit using his good fist since his other hand was missing. One of his legs was no longer working since he was slashed from behind by an ogre and his shotels where in pieces on one side.
Looking around again Wufei could spot Trowa barely holding off on his own since his blade is broken and he had long since run out of bullets. He was helped by some of the demons that came with them from the Higurashi Shrine but they too where looking worse for ware. There was a moth demon who was missing a wing but he continued to fight along side the Heavyarms and a giant bird demon flew above offering aerial support. Wufei could also see Heero was not too far off either; having his buster rifle broken and exploded in one of the building to the right the smoking ruins of the city of Tokyo anyways. His Wing Zero was the worse of the lot because his shield was gone and so was one of his wings. One arm was hanging and Wufei saw the damage to the circuits and a slash near the cockpit cavity. 'One more hit in that region and Heero's dead.' Wufei thought beside Heero Charlie fought but he was blinded by the blood that flowed down into his eyes.
Turning his head again he saw that Jimmy was down already used up his energy and was too badly wounded to fight on. He could see the tiger sprawled on the ground hidden from enemy eyes or noses. Off to the far left stood Steven his face bloody but he managed to be the least damaged of the Shadow Assassins but that was before Wufei saw the huge gash on his side showing his intestines. Taking another hit from behind Wufei thrust his trident into the heart of a monstrous scorpion that was aiming for his back. The scorpion fell but not before he hit Wufei with his stinger injecting acid that melted the other arm off leaving nothing but liquid. "Shit!" Wufei cursed and he saw Justin already on the ground having been stung by the scorpion's sting.
The hour of night had already begun and the city was dark except for the various fires that erupted throughout the city. A lone figure walked through the city giant white paws stained with blood treaded through the ruins. Hearing the calls for help it helped a group of people escape from the trap they where in. seeing the dog many thanked it and others where too traumatized to do anything but run. Mart followed a scent till she came to a clearing in the buildings and saw that many of the gundams as well as the Shadow Assassins were down. A deep growl came from her throat as she let the venom in her saliva drip onto the sidewalk. It melted right through the pavement into the subway system below. Growling she approached the group as the demons began to advance on them.
Charlie could barely move since his limbs where no longer working. One of the demons that had struck him down was deciding weather or not to kill him or to skin him alive then kill him. Beside Charlie another wolf demon was also in pain. It was one of the Higurashi demons and an ally to Charlie. As the demons came closer having been decided on their choice of death for the young wolf demon a pair of red eyes appeared through the shadows and bit down on one of the demons. The demon screamed in pain as venom dripped from the demons fangs as it thrashed the demon about crushing him till he was melted and dead. The other demon began to run at the new comer but the red eyed demon dodged it and slashed it with its claws. The demon was dead in an instant having its head cut off. It was then that more demons after hearing the cries of a comrade came to attack the new comer only to fall under the demons sharp claws and teeth. 'This demon is good glad it was on my side,' he though but it was then that the scent caught his nose it was the same scent as before. Eyes widening at the sight he tried to get up only to find that he could not move.
Mart after seeing that those demons where disposed of changed back into her normal form and stood over Charlie. His eyes widened when he saw her, "Mart!" he whispered and she took out the Tensaiga, "Hold still," she said coldly and waited till the ball bearers came then killed them saving Charlie and healing him. She then moved over to the other wolf and did the same. The wolf was grateful before he bounded off to help anyone else. Mart gave Charlie on final look before she leaped off and the wolf followed. Having turned back the wolf boy looked at Mart over, 'She has changed,' he thought no longer he saw the happy go lucky girl that he always thought as a friend now he sees the very angry side of Mart. 'This is what she meant before when she says that once she is pissed there is no stopping her.' He thought as he followed her. Leaping to the highest building left in the city Mart surveyed the now quiet battle field. Here and there screams of people calling for help where heard and various demons fighting in the distance.
"What are you going to do now Mart?" Charlie asked, and was surprised when Mart howled to the wind.
Every Shadow Assassin ear that heard that howl rose to their feet with new found strength. Justin rose to the surprise of Wufei who was unable to move the gundam. Steven being the worse bounded off towards the howl. Jimmy roared back a reply before he slowly got up. Other demons heard this as well and rose to fight when they heard the new comer. The wind blew as Mart howled in the wind and let the world know that Moro no Kimi was back.
The Gundam Pilots where shocked when they heard the response to all the demons that where helping them. Turning they opened their cockpits to see a lone figure on a building with long white hair and a black Samurai outfit on. But that was not the least of it now the figure had some sort of armor on it.
The armor looked similar to that of Japanese samurai but there where spikes on the shoulders. There are also leg garments that protected the loins and the sides as well. (Think Sesshoumaru's armor without the boa) wild silver hair flowed through the wind as the glowing red eyes flowed through the darkness. They stared in awe at the new comer as it took out its sword and shouted something in a language that they did not understand but the Shadow Assassins did. "IMUA!" They shouted and charged in for the kill.
The demons did not have a chance when they saw the new found strength of the Shadow Assassins wounded as they seem. Only Charlie was fully healed and with his strength returned. The lone figure leaped off after them and from what they could see on the ruins slashed its way through hordes of demons with a single swipe of its claws. Only when the demons came close then the one with the silver hair surrounded by the Shadow Assassins made itself known. Walking into the light they could see it was Mart but she was different.
On top of the Tokyo Tower stood Naraku in his full form and Kohaku, Kagura and Kanna on his side as well. "It would seem that our little dog demon has returned." He said and the others nodded, "So we have a real fight on our hands now that the Shadow Assassins are back." he said turning to Kanna, "If you say is true then there is no doubt that Moro no Kimi has the powers of both Inu-Yasha and Sesshoumaru on her claws." He smirked as he held the Shikon Jewel in his hand. It glowed darkly with power and malice, "This world will fall anyway like it did before and I will sit at its throne and all shall bow to me," he said and the others bowed before him.
"Montemura," Naraku called and a giant bird demon appeared, "Deal with out guests." He ordered and the bird demon took off after his new prey.
Steven collapsed as the final cut had gutted him again this time letting his guts spill from his body as he fell. When he opened his eyes again he saw a familiar form above him and he was fully healed. Getting up he saw her heal the others as well for they did not have the opportunity as Charlie did. Getting up he fought again this time at full strength and harder then before. The dog demon led the charge against the demons. It was then that they heard something coming towards them.
Out of the streets the demons grew silent and moved aside as a giant lizard came into view. Mart only snorted, "Great just what we need another Godzilla wanna be," she sniffed and held her nose for the thing stinks. It did not see her yet for the darkness hid her features well. The clouds of smoke and dust hid the others as well and from what Mart could see she saw the thing clearly.
It was a giant lizard that was a cross between a croc, a chameleon, and an iguana. Its head was like that of a crock but its tail was like that of a chameleon but its body including the spikes belonged to that of an iguana. The claws of the giant where humongous as it swiped its hand through a building and watched it crumble. "Where is the dog demon that hurt Mistress Kanna!" it bellowed and Mart smirked as she walked out.
