Chapter 15
Ryukotsusei versus the Sailor Scouts
Ryukotsusei was looking at his targets then he noticed Sesshomaru and the little fox demon. "Who the hell are you" Rei demanded. "He's Ryukotsusei. The dragon that killed my father and if I recall correctly Ryukotsusei was killed by Inuyasha" Sesshomaru said.
"True that half demon brat killed me, but thanks to Naraku I live once more. I have been sent here to destroy the scouts and take the talismans from them" Ryukotsusei declared.
"What you know who has the talismans" Uranus asked. "Yes I do" Ryukotsusei replied as two beams shot out from the eyes on his mask face at Neptune and Uranus. The beams hit them in the chest and from their bodies the talismans emerged. Before the other Sailor scouts could do anything in response to Ryukotsusei's attack. Ryukotsusei's head swooped down like a hawk and he ate the talismans.
"That was easy enough. Now the powers of Neptune and Uranus are mines. Now all that is left it to do is to finish off the rest of you and while I am here I'll kill you Sesshomaru for being the brother of the demon who killed me" Ryukotsusei informed the scouts as the crystal on his head had the mark of Neptune and Uranus glowing. Sailor Moon ran to the slain bodies of Sailor Neptune and Uranus to see if they were alive, but they were completely lifeless. They had been killed. "Ryukotsusei in the name of the moon I will punish you for this act of murder" Sailor declared as she raised her moon specter.
"Take your best shot Sailor Moon. Maybe you might be entertaining to fight against" Ryukotsusei said as he opened his month ready to attack. "Moon scepter elimination" Sailor Moon said as she used her specter to attack Ryukotsusei, but the attack had no effect on him.
Before Sailor Moon could figure out what went wrong with her specter; Ryukotsusei attacked Sailor Moon with Sailor Neptune's deep submerge attack. Tuxedo mask got Sailor moon out of the way, but one of the energy beams from the mask on Ryukotsusei's head her locket causing Sailor Moon's transformation was reversed. Everyone was surprised by how Ryukotsusei could use one of Neptune's attacks. "Haven't figured out why I can use your friend's powers. It simple when I kill one of your sailor friends their powers are absorbed by me" Ryukotsusei said. Everyone knew that if Ryukotsusei was able to absorb their powers when he killed them wasn't a good sign.
"The sliver crystal something is wrong with it" Usagi said as she tried to transform into Sailor Moon again. "Ha I knew a child like you was no match for me now die" Ryukotsusei said as he readied himself to take Sailor Moon down once and for all. Suddenly Sailor Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and their future selves attacked Ryukotsusei with a combined attack.
When the dust from the scouts combined attack settled they were surprised that there was no harm done to Ryukotsusei's body at all. "Fools since Naraku revived me he had made my new body out of solid diamond. So my hide is impenetrable nothing can harm it" Ryukotsusei said as he prepared to attack the scouts. "You maybe stronger than ever Ryukotsusei, but if you can be brought back to life then there is a way to undo it" Sesshomaru said as he used Toukijin on Ryukotsusei. It didn't cut him, but the force of the blow sent the dragon falling through a wall and out of the palace. The scouts followed them while Sesshomaru was putting Toukijin away as he stood on a large rock.
"Nice try, but you cannot hurt me" Ryukotsusei said as Ryukotsusei used World shaking on Sesshomaru. "Then why don't I try something else" Sesshomaru as he started to transform into his demon form. The other scouts were surprised by his transformation. Sesshomaru seized Ryukotsusei's neck with his month trying to rip it out. The scouts tried another combined attack, but it failed. Ryukotsusei used one of his claws to knock Sesshomaru off of him. Ryukotsusei blasted Sesshomaru as he fell to the ground. Sesshomaru landed inside the palace near the two slain Sailor Scouts.
Sesshomaru got to his feet after he changed back to normal. He was unable to harm Ryukotsusei. Sesshomaru was trying to figure out how to harm Ryukotsusei when his new body is made from solid diamond. Suddenly Sesshomaru had an idea. However he looked at the fallen scouts. He pulled out Tenseiga and used its power. The king, Neo-Serenity, Usagi and Tuxedo mask watched as the sword resurrected them. Outside the talismans left Ryukotsusei's stomach as the heart crystals in them flew out of them and returned to their rightful owners. Ryukotsusei didn't notice that he had lost his ability to use their powers. While the rest of the scouts were still fighting Ryukotsusei Uranus and Neptune rose to their feet and they grabbed their talismans in front of them.
"What happened" Neptune asked. "I used the power of Tenseiga to revive you both. Because I figured if Ryukotsusei had to kill you to gain your powers I was curious what would happen when I revived you. It was as I suspected when you are revived you regain your powers. Now I have need of your assistance" Sesshomaru said. "What do you mean" Uranus asked. "Listen carefully" Sesshomaru said as he explained his plan to eliminate Ryukotsusei.
Meanwhile outside the scouts were getting their asses kicked. Due to his thick exterior the scouts couldn't harm Ryukotsusei. The scouts weren't able to hurt him as Ryukotsusei continued to attack them, so far the scouts were luck enough to evade Ryukotsusei's attacks but it wouldn't last. Sailor Mercury was trying to scan Ryukotsusei for any weak points and she discovered one. According to her readings Ryukotsusei one weak spot was a red crystal at the very heart of his being. "That must be the source of Ryukotsusei's power or something. It's not his heart though, but I hope destroying it will stop him. But how do we get to it" Sailor Mercury thought.
"Sailor Mercury we can't harm him. Has your computer found anything" Minako asked. "There is some kind of red crystal inside his body, but we can't get to it so we only have one course of action" Sailor Mercury said. "What is that" Sailor Mars asked. "Run for it" Sailor Mercury said as the others started running from Ryukotsusei as the dragon was chasing them.
Neptune and Uranus ran out to inform the other scouts of what Sesshomaru was planning. They had some difficulty catching up with them since they were on the run, but they caught up with them. Before Sesshomaru went out to join the other scouts to take care of Ryukotsusei Tuxedo mask stopped him saying "Hey Sesshomaru could your sword restore the sliver crystal's power". "It only restores the lives of people I doubt it will work on her crystal, but I shall try either way. Beside I need her assistance to defeat Naraku" Sesshomaru said as he used Tenseiga's power on the crystal.
The crystal was glowing but Usagi wasn't transforming back to Sailor Moon. "The crystal needs more than the life restoring properties of the Tenseiga" the king said. Usagi was thinking what else it would need then suddenly her and Tuxedo mask became Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion and they were at the moon kingdom. They held hands as Usagi received the Spiral Heart Moon Rod and her brooch transformed into a heart shaped one. Usagi transformed into Sailor Moon once more, but this time her new transformation was stronger than her last one.
"Wow this is new" Usagi said. "Well now that you have your powers back might I suggest that you assist me in destroying Ryukotsusei" Sesshomaru said as he grabbed a piece of crystal and craved it into a spear. "Right" Usagi said as she and Sesshomaru ran out to rendezvous with the others. Ryukotsusei had grabbed Sailor Venus with his claw hand and was ready to kill her when Sesshomaru stuck him in the side of his head so hard that he dropped Sailor Venus.
Sesshomaru jumped at Ryukotsusei once again to attack him with the spear he crafted. Neptune and Uranus had informed the other scouts of what Sesshomaru was planning to do. Sesshomaru was running towards Ryukotsusei's month. "So you wish for me to devour you. Then by all means come here" Ryukotsusei said as he opened his month wide. The scouts were combing their powers with Sailor Moon's new rod waiting for the signal from Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru entered Ryukotsusei's month, but before the demon could close his month Sesshomaru stick the spear he made into the top of his month and the bottom of the spear through his tongue. Because of the spear Ryukotsusei couldn't close his month. Sesshomaru changed into his demon form and pinned Ryukotsusei against a building. Sesshomaru grabbing Ryukotsusei was the signal for the scouts they were waiting for.
"Mercury star power" Sailor Mercury yelled out. "Jupiter star power" Sailor Jupiter yelled out. "Venus star power" Sailor Venus and her future self yelled out. "Mars star power" Sailor Mars yelled out. "Uranus power" Sailor Uranus yelled out. "Neptune power" Sailor Neptune yelled out. "Moon crystal power unite" Sailor Moon yelled out as he used the power of her crystal to launch a sphere of energy at Ryukotsusei.
"Ha your attacks can not damage my body" Ryukotsusei said. "Who said anything about aiming for your body? We're aiming for your insides" Sesshomaru said as the sphere of energy went into Ryukotsusei's month and it went all the way though his body destroying Ryukotsusei from the inside and out. Nothing was left of him. Sesshomaru returned to normal. The only thing that survived was the spear Sesshomaru made. Sesshomaru grabbed it as it fell to the ground.
He spun it around as he held it in a bad ass fashion. (A/N: Darth Maul style.) "One of the rules of battle is that it's not always the strongest who wins. It's usually the craftiest and the most cunning who win" Sesshomaru said as he saw the last of Ryukotsusei's remains falling to the ground.
Meanwhile on the planet nemeses the small crystal that contained Ryukotsusei's heart exploded and Naraku looked at it and said "So the scouts have defeated Ryukotsusei. They are stronger than I thought. No matter they severed my purpose well." Suddenly a tremendous amount of energy erupted from the ground as Naraku was in an energy vortex. He was absorbing the energy as his body was under going a new transformation. "Those fools don't realize that by destroying Ryukotsusei, that red crystal they destroyed allowed me to absorb the energy they used to destroy Ryukotsusei. Now I will use the power to create my ultimate form. Once complete I shall take the last shards of the jewel for myself." Naraku said as he started laughing as he cocooned himself in a large crystal.
While the scouts and Sesshomaru were returning to the palace to await the return of the others. At that time Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Kikyo and Miroku were attacked by Kagura, Kohaku, Hakudoushi, Kanna and Hotaru as Sailor Saturn. Hotaru was attacking Sango with her Silence glaive while Hakudoushi was fighting Kagome with a spear. Miroku was in battle against Kohaku and Kagura was fighting Inuyasha. While Kanna was trying to absorb Kikyo soul with her mirror as Kikyo was trying to hit her with an arrow.
Sango threw her boomerang at Hotaru. But the sailor scout jumped over the boomerang and retaliated by kicking Sango in the face as she was falling back to the ground. Sango fell to the ground as Hotaru prepared to take Sango's head off with her Silence glaive. Sango was quickly able to roll out of the way just to avoid the Silence glaive. Sango leaped to her feet where she decked Hotaru in the stomach. The girl barely noticed the hit as she grabbed Sango's hand and flipped her over Hotaru's shoulder. Hotaru spun around in flash and stabbed Sango in the shoulder with her Silence glaive.
"I missed your heart. Don't worry I wont forget to miss you head" Hotaru said as she prepared to kill Sango. Sango was in a lot of pain and feared the end was near, but everyone forgot something. Koga came out of nowhere as he delivered a flying kick to Hotaru's face knocking her to the ground. "Where the hell have you been" Sango demanded. "I was checking the area for Naraku" Koga said as he moved to attack Hotaru. However the demon child retaliated for that kick with her attack called the Silent Wall attack. Koga evaded the attack and continued to attack Sailor Saturn.
Inuyasha was locking horns with Kagura as she unleashed her dance of the dragon attack on the dog demon. Inuyasha blocked the wind attacks with Tetsusaiga as he unleashed the power of the wind scar on Kagura. The wind sorceress evaded the attack as Kagura unleashed a volley of wind blades to counter attack.
Miroku was finding it difficult to block Kohaku's attack's since the demon slayer had him on the run. Miroku would have used his wind tunnel, but as always Naraku's incest's were around. All Miroku could do was to hold out until Inuyasha or Sango could help him. Unknown to the monk; Inuyasha had his hands full with Kagura, and Sango was unable to fight due to her wound that Sailor Saturn dealt her.
Kagome was having a hard time fighting Hakudoushi. It was hard enough trying to hit him, but it was even harder trying to avoid getting her stomach cut open by his spear. She needed at least a minute or two to grab an arrow and to shot Hakudoushi with it. However Hakudoushi was relentless in his attack so she didn't have the chance. Kikyo's situation wasn't that good either because Kanna was hard to hit since she moved around so much. Thankfully Kanna's attempts to steal her soul weren't working, so the playing field was even for those two.
Kagome just evaded another attempt by Hakudoushi to kill her, but Kagome tripped on a rock and fell to the ground. Hakudoushi put his spear against Kagome's neck ready to kill her as he said "No one will save you." Inuyasha had his hands full with Kagura and Koga was stuck in battle with Sailor Saturn. Sango couldn't fight because of her wound and the fact that she lost a lot of blood. Miroku was having problems with Kohaku and Kikyo wouldn't help her even if she could. Kagome knew this was it; only a miracle could save her now.
