Chapter 7
The Trap is set and ready
The Sailor scouts and Tuxedo mask climbed into the nearest manhole they found. They walked towards the area where the shock wave that caused the violent earthquake originated from. As they walked down the long dark pathway Usagi stepped in some sewer water. "Yuck out of all the place a Negaverse had to hide it had to be in a sewer" Usagi said as they walked down the pathway.
"Stop you're complaining Usagi. At least we know where to look" Rei said. "Yeah but couldn't it be somewhere cleaner" Usagi said.
"What's that smell" Makoto "I detaching traces of some kind of poison in the air, It wont affect us, but its getting thicker as we go further" Ami said holding out her computer. "Then I think we might be on the right track" Minako said. "Yes let's keep going" Ami said.
The scouts continued down the pathway while somewhere else in the sewers Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kagome who held a flashlight continued down the pathway. "Are you sure Naraku is down here" Shippo asked. "All of the demon body parts and blood shot into the air came from here" Kagome said.
"She's right. The smell of Miasma is getting stronger, Naraku has to be here" Inuyasha said. "I have a bad feeling about this" Miroku said. "It not like Naraku to allow something like the rain of demon blood on the city to happen unless he is up to something" Sango said.
"The question is what" Miroku replied. "I don't know but I have a feeling we'll find out soon enough" Inuyasha said as they continued down the path.
Elsewhere Koga was running down the tunnel following the scent of Miasma to its source. While Sailor Neptune and Uranus were closing in on the location the orb was guiding them to. The first group to reach the chamber where the demons were fighting was the Sailor Scouts. They looked down at the bottom of the shaft and discovered that the whole area down there was littered with demon body parts as they were afloat in the Miasma.
"What happened here" Minako asked. "I don't know but" Rei stopped speaking as she saw something rising from the Miasma "look"
Rei and the others watched as a massive demon rose from the Miasma. This demon was humanoid in appearance except that it had horns and it had some signs of other demons merged that together with it. Then they saw another large creature that looked like some kind of demon looking dinosaur with another head on its stomach and a bunch of spikes on it.
The scouts watched as the two demons rip each to pieces. The horned demon won back snapping the neck of the other demon. Once its body fell into the Miasma something was pulling the fallen demon's body and the others to the demon still standing.
Then the scout's witnessed an awful sight when the demon corpse and the other dead remains merged with the horned demon causing it to under go a transformation. The horned demon now had a back side full of spikes, a longer tail and a second head on its stomach.
"So that's what's happing here. There must have been over hundreds of those creatures here at one time. They killed one another until that one was left. And when a creature died its body must have merged with the winner" Ami said.
"But why would anyone do this" Mamoru asked. "I don't know, I don't think we'll like the answer" Minako said. Suddenly the creature started looking around as it was speaking to itself "Why haven't I been released yet. The promise was that the last one standing would get to leave here alive."
The creature turned to notice the Sailor scouts. It then spoke "unless I am not the winner yet" the demon said as it punched the wall above where the scouts were sitting at. The impact of the punch caused the ground the scouts were on to break away dropping them all into the Miasma pit below. They were all stuck on an island of dead demon bodies. At that moment Inuyasha and the others showed up. Usagi and the others noticed him; the demon saw him as well.
"This looks like a familiar sight" Inuyasha said. "Naraku must be using recombinant regeneration sorcery, this is defiantly Naraku's doing" Miroku said. "But why would Naraku be doing it again" Sango asked. "Good question" the monk said. Suddenly the creatures tail rose up hit the area right below were Inuyasha and Kagome were standing.
The two lost their balance and fell down into the pit. Kagome landed on a demon corpse but the impact knocked her out. However Inuyasha landed on his two feet. He drew his sword ready to fight. He could wipe this monster out but then its body would merge with his. Suddenly he was hit by lighting when someone said Jupiter thunder clash. Inuyasha was stunned but not seriously hurt. "What the hell was that for" Inuyasha demanded.
"You know what we mean. You kidnapped Chibi-usa and you stole the sliver crystal from her" Rei told him. "What the hell are you taking about" Inuyasha spat back. "I'll tell you. I am Sailor moon champion of justice and you're worst nightmare. On behalf of the moon I will punish you" Sailor moon told him. "Oh great" Inuyasha as he readied himself for another attack from both the scouts and the demon.
Meanwhile Sango, Miroku and Shippo jumped down to help him out. Kirara jumped off Sango shoulder and transformed into her larger self. Another jumped down after them. It was Koga; Sango, Inuyasha and Miroku were surprised at his appearance. "What the hell are you doing here" Inuyasha demanded. "I followed the scent of Miasma after I fell thought some kind of portal that dropped me off here in these tunnels" Koga said. Before anyone could say anything the demon started attacking them. It had grown tired of standing around.
The demon was attacking again but it was hit by Sailor Neptune's deep submerge in the back. The two sailor scouts jumped down to join the others. "WHOA two new scouts; who are you two" Usagi asked.
"I think introductions can wait until later. We have a battle on our hands. You girls can take those guys we'll take big tall and ugly" Uranus said as her and Neptune attacked the creature. "I help too" Minato said as she jumped into the battle again them demon.
While the Sailor scouts started fighting Inuyasha and the others. Rei attacked Inuyasha with one of her mars fire surround but since Inuyasha's clothes were resistance to fire it had no effect on him. Rei was trying to determine if Inuyasha and the others were evil but something in this chamber was confusing her ability to sense it. She couldn't tell if they were evil of not.
Sango and Kirara's legs were frozen by Sailor Mercury's aqua illusion attack immobilizing them while Miroku was moving around in the background trying to avoid people from noticing him.
Inuyasha could have used the Kaze no Kizu on them. However Inuyasha was beginning to figure out what was going on. "This must be Naraku's plan, he must have stolen something from these girls while disguised as me" Inuyasha thought.
While Inuyasha and his friends were only blocking their attacks since they knew Naraku plan must involved setting these girls up against them. They had no wish of letting Naraku's plan succeed but they concerned about there own lives. After several minutes of evading attacks from the scouts. But after a while the scouts seemed to be slowing down on their attacks.
Sailor Jupiter was attacking Inuyasha with her lighting blots while Ami was now hanging in the back ground attempting to scan the area with her computer but something was preventing it from functioning.
Sango and Kirara managed to free themselves just in time just as Sailor Mars attacked Sango with her Mars fire surround, but thanks to her boomerang she blocked it. Sailor Mars was able to move up close to kick Sango in the side of her face knocking her into a wall. Before Kirara could retaliate for her; Sailor Mars hit the cat like creature with a powerful fire attack. Kirara was wounded in the attack and was unable to continue so both Sango and Kirara were rendered unconscious. Sailor moon was hanging in the back ground waiting to use her specter on Inuyasha.
Meanwhile Uranus, Venus and Neptune weren't doing much to the demon but after a combined attack on the monster. The attack hit successfully; leaving a large cut in the demon's chest, but some Miasma rose up and attached itself to the demon healing it.
While the battle dragged on Miroku approached Tuxedo mask. He was ready to fight but Miroku threw down his staff. "We need to talk, I will not harm you" Miroku said raising his hands. "About what" Tuxedo masked asked the monk.
"We must leave this place at once. Or we'll all fall victim to recombinant regeneration sorcery" Miroku said. "Recombinant what" Tuxedo mask asked.
"Recombinant regeneration sorcery is when you put snakes, spiders and other poisonous creatures in one place and you have them fight it out. The last one standing it merged is with the remains of the others creating a poison imp. If any of your friends or any of my friends kills that thing; then the one who dealt the killing blow will be merged with its remains" Miroku explained.
"Why should we believe you" Tuxedo mask asked. "Let me ask you something. Don't you find at the least bit odd that all of us suddenly appear in one place" Miroku questioned.
Now that the monk brought it up. Finding this place seemed to have been just a little too easy. Something wasn't right; Tuxedo mask now suspected that Inuyasha wasn't the theft. It had to be someone else, but who.
"OK then if Inuyasha didn't steal the crystal then who did" Tuxedo mask asked. "There is only one who is capable of doing this. The demon Naraku" Miroku said.
"Naraku" Tuxedo mask asked. "Explanations can wait until later. We must wake Kagome she is the only one who can break the spell and destroy that thing. If the recombinant regeneration spell is broken then there will be no danger of anyone getting merged with it when it is destroyed. But we have to stop you're friends from killing mines" Miroku said. Tuxedo mask didn't really have much choice to really trust this guy but with everything going on here he had no choice. "Ami come here" Tuxedo mask called her over.
"What is it" Ami asked. "We need to stop this fight. Inuyasha didn't steal the sliver crystal. I am sure we have fallen into a trap, we got to get out. There is no time to explain but you must stop Minako and those two scouts from killing that creature. Go with this guy and help him wake Kagome. He says she's the only one who can destroy that thing safely."
Ami didn't really understand what he meant but she was beginning to see what Tuxedo mask was saying. She was realizing it as well; something was differently wrong here. "Alright" Ami said as she ran with the monk to where she laid.
Meanwhile in the park sitting in a patch of grass was Naraku in his usual clothing as he had some of his wasps flying around him.
He had an evil smile on his face while he was thinking "All those demon I sealed to make the poisonous imp will soon emerge and if my plan works it will have also merged with Inuyasha and the Sailor scouts and they will become a part of my body. But if they are not absorbed then my dear daughter will absorb them."
Naraku smiled as he turned to see Hotaru dressed in black clothing leaning against a tree.
A/N: Well I am ending this chapter here. If anyone remembers from the series that the Silver crystal is at its strongest when the other scouts combine there power. This I think should give you an idea why Naraku plans to absorb them
