Chapter 20
Showdown
Naraku was glowing with a dark aura of power as he was ready to make his first move. The scouts and Inuyasha's friends stood ready to take anything Naraku could throw at them. It was standoff between the force of Evil and the forces of good. All went silence as both side waited for either Naraku or the scouts and Inuyasha's gang to make the first move.
Until finally when Naraku's foot moved one centimeter Miroku and Sailor Venus attacked. Naraku stood there as he saw the attacks coming at him. Miroku threw his staff at Naraku since he couldn't use his wind tunnel since the poison was still affecting him. Sailor Venus used her Venus love chain on him, but when both attacks hit there mark nothing happed except that both attacks didn't do a thing against Naraku.
"Is that the best you got" Naraku mocked. "Try this Naraku" Makoto said as she and her future self attacked with a combined lighting attack. Naraku didn't raise a barrier or do anything he just stood there as both attacks hit him. Nothing happened. "Damn it we cant hurt him" Makoto said. "I'll see if I can find some kind of weakness" Ami said as she used her VR visor to scan Naraku.
"Scan me all you want there is nothing you fools can do that can destroy me Neo-Naraku" Naraku mocked. "Then let's try a physical attack" Sesshomaru said as he rushed Naraku with Toukijin. Naraku raised his energy blade to block Sesshomaru's attack. Naraku placed his free hand close to Sesshomaru's chest as he fired a beam of dark energy at Sesshomaru at point blank range.
Sesshomaru was sent flying into the air as he crashed into a pillar of stone breaking it into bits and causing the part of the ceiling above him to fall down on Sesshomaru burying him in the rubble. "Who's next" Naraku said as he laughed. "I am not really sensing much except that the shikon jewel is on his chest" Ami said as she pointed at the shikon jewel glowing on Naraku's chest. "Our ok here's the plan if we can get that jewel maybe that might reduce his power" Ami's future self said. "Alright its time for me to use the grail" Usagi said as she used the Grail's power on herself.
Usagi transformed into her new transformation armed with her Spiral Heart Moon Rod. "Bring it on Sailor Moon" Naraku said as he flew at the scouts armed with his energy sword. Naraku used a horizontal maneuver with his sword trying to cut open Sailor Moon stomach. However Sailor Moon blocked it with her rod. Mamoru attacked Naraku using his roses on him which didn't do much to Naraku except annoy him. "Your clothes Mamoru are out of style" Naraku said as he blasted him through the chest with an energy shot from his eyes.
Mamoru's body was sent flying into the air as he collided with a wall. Mamoru lay lifeless on the ground with a hole in his chest. All of the Sailor Scouts were horrified by what happened. Mamoru had been killed by Naraku. "Naraku three and heroes zero. Who wishes to die next" Naraku said as he laughed. "You monster" Sailor Moon cried out as her eyes were full of tears over Mamoru's death. "Moon Spiral Heart Attack" Usagi cried out as she gave that Moon Spiral Heart Attack all she could muster. "That attack hit Naraku in the shoulder as Naraku's arm was vaporized.
Before the scouts could celebrate over the wound they caused Naraku. Naraku's arm regenerated. "Nice shot Sailor Moon. Now it's my turn" Naraku said as he fired another beam of dark energy from his hand at Sailor Moon. "Sailor Moon get out of the way" Rei said as she knocked Sailor Moon out of way of the beam. Unfortunately Rei was hit by the beam as it went right through her side penetrating her heart.
"That fool should have stayed out of the way" Naraku said as he watched Rei's lifeless body fall to the ground. "Oh no Rei" Usagi cried as another of her friends was killed by Naraku. "Naraku I won't forgive for what you have done. I swear in the name of no in the name of all that good and kind in the universe I will destroy you" Usagi said as her voice was never filled with such determination.
"Nice words but can you back those words up" Naraku said as his evil aura grew brighter and suddenly a massive explosion was created as the whole palace chamber was blown apart. Naraku stood in the center of the blast as he looked around for any survivors. He saw Sailor Moon was barely standing as he noticed Miroku was killed in the blast and the other Sailor scouts were down on the ground. No one could tell if they were alive or dead. Sailor Moon had grabbed an object that was on the ground and she used it to help stand her up.
She didn't notice the object in her hand was Sesshomaru's sword the Tenseiga. Usagi didn't notice the weapon because her vision was still a little burly.
Inuyasha wasn't dead he shot up from the rubble and stabbed Naraku in the chest then he stuck his claw hand into him. "Inuyasha I admire you determination, but you should have stayed down" Naraku said as he blasted Inuyasha away from his with his energy beam eyes.
Inuyasha was knocked into a pile of rubble as Naraku smiled. Then he redirected his attention to Sailor Moon. Naraku noticed the Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mars and Sailor Venus. It was their future selves and soon he saw Minako standing up. Naraku wasn't sure of the condition the other scouts were in, but he didn't care. He decided that he would deal with the ones who weren't down on the ground.
"Sailor Moon your persistence to fight me is admirable, but I grow tired of your friends' interference" Naraku said as he shot a beam of energy at the Sailor scouts who were still standing. He blasted all of them in the chest which killed them instantly. Sailor Moon tired to use her powers to stop these attacks, but just the energy she used to weather the blast was exhausting as it was. Sailor Moon could only watch in horror as her friends who had stood up to help her were killed by Naraku.
"Enjoying the show Sailor Moon, because it is time for the final act. Are you ready Sailor Moon because it is just you and me now? You may be powerful with that Grail and the sliver crystal, but you are incapable of handling it" Naraku said as he and Sailor Moon levitated to a transparent crystal platform high above the palace. With the roof blown away they didn't have to worry about the ceiling as they traveled high into the sky.
They landed on the transparent platform. The platform was as big and it was shaped like a foot ball field. There were four crystal pillars at each end made of black crystal. Naraku landed on one side of the platform as Sailor Moon landed on the other side.
"What are you planning Naraku" Sailor Moon demanded. "I thought we could have our battle in the sky with no interruptions from anyone. Now Sailor Moon it is time to finish this battle. I won't use my powers for a little while. Let's fight hand to hand" Naraku said as he charged Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon moved to the left to evade Naraku, but Naraku used one of his tails to hit Sailor Moon in the said of the head.
While Sailor Moon was stunned by the hit to her face Naraku kicked her in the stomach and then he punched her in the head. "This is too easy. This is quite fun really. I shall enjoy doing this for a while" Naraku said as he kicked Sailor Moon was she was down. "Why don't you just kill me" Usagi said. "I am having too much fun" Naraku said as he laughed then he grabbed Sailor Moon by one of her pig tails and threw her into one of the crystal pillars.
Naraku slowly walked up to her and said "Sailor Moon even if you were powerful enough to destroy this body. Truth is that this is not my true form and since you are not as powerful as I thought you would be then I guess I don't need to show my true form to you." Naraku kicked her again then he picked her up and threw across the ground to the center of the platform.
"I need a miracle" Sailor Moon thought as she was trying to build up the strength to stand. She still didn't realize that Tenseiga was still in her hand. Meanwhile down below Makoto, Ami, Haruka, Michiru, and Ami's future self was regaining consciousness. They all stood up and they saw the devastation caused in the blast. They found Sailor Mars and her future self dead. They also found that Miroku, and Sailor Jupiter's future self was dead too. In fact Sailor Venus and her future self was dead as well. Last and not least they found Inuyasha who they couldn't even tell if he was alive.
Kagome got up from the rubble as Sailor Pluto appeared on the scene. "What happened here" Sailor Pluto asked. "We got our butts kicked" Makoto said. "Where's Usagi" Ami asked. "I sense she is high above us fighting Naraku alone" Sailor Pluto told them. "We got to help her" Sailor Mercury said. "How we can even hurt Naraku" Sailor Neptune said.
Suddenly Makoto noticed Sesshomaru's hand was sticking out of the rubble. She went over there and moved the rubble off of Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru's body wasn't messed up too bad however his shirt and his amour were gone only his paints and Toukijin remained on his person. Makoto checked his pulse and learned that he was still alive. She didn't have time to wait for him to wake up so she slapped him so hard that Sesshomaru woke up with a red hand mark on his face.
"Was that necessary" asked Sesshomaru. "To wake you up yes" Makoto said. "Be thankful that I don't kill you where you stand" Sesshomaru said as he stood up. "Wow I didn't know he had that kind of build" Makoto said as she was admiring Sesshomaru's muscles. "Makoto stop looking and let's start thinking on how we can handle Naraku" Ami said.
"I might have an idea" Inuyasha's voice was heard as he lay in the rubble. Inuyasha's body was severely damaged because of the injuries inflected by Naraku. Inuyasha was barely alive. Inuyasha's fist which was covered in Naraku's blood opened up and revealed the Shikon jewel.
"If Naraku thinks he has won then he has another thing coming" Inuyasha said as he held up the jewel. Inuyasha had always hoped that he could use the jewel to become a full demon or a human, but now he had to make a wish with the jewel that might give Sailor Moon the edge she needs against Naraku. He didn't think merging the jewel with the crystal might not work, but he had an idea.
Inuyasha summoned up the last of his strength to make a wish and it was this "Shikon jewel give my friend Sailor Moon the power she needs to destroy the demon Naraku so that she can save her friends please give what ever power you can give her." Inuyasha's life was draining out of him as he pulled Tetsusaiga from his belt and threw it aside as he said his final words "Give this to Sailor Moon. I don't think she can use it, but it's all I can do. Kagome I am sorry that I won't be around for you. Good bye and I love you" Inuyasha said as he closed his eyes and died.
Kagome didn't say anything as she started crying over his death and Koga regained conciseness as he rose up from the rubble. He saw Inuyasha was dead and Kagome was devastated. "Naraku has claimed enough lives. It will end here one way or another. We need to give Tetsusaiga to Sailor Moon, so how do we get up there" Kagome said as she wiped her tears.
"I might be able to fly us up there" Sesshomaru said as he transformed into his demon form. "Hey what's happing with the jewel" Koga asked as the jewel floated up from Inuyasha's hand as it was glowing white and the brightness of the jewel was increasing with every passing second. "What's going on" Ami asked.
Meanwhile on the platform above them Naraku floated high above Sailor Moon as he created a massive sphere of dark energy. He was preparing to hurl it at Sailor Moon. "Now Sailor Moon it is time to end this battle. Farewell Sailor Moon say hello to Kikyo for me" Naraku said as he threw the energy sphere at her. Sailor Moon was able to notice the sword Tenseiga in her hand since her vision had cleared up.
She didn't know what to do, but she felt the sword was pulsing in her hand so she held it out in front of her ready to block the attack. "You think that blade will stop me from killing you. Ha go ahead and try" Naraku mocked as the sphere of energy grew closer and closer until finally it hit its mark. A massive dust cloud was created from the explosion as Sesshomaru had landed everyone on the platform as he changed back to normal. They didn't stay around to see what kind of wish was being granted by the jewel so they flew up to the platform to help Sailor Moon.
"Oh no Sailor Moon" Makoto yelled out. Naraku was laughing as the dust was starting to settle. However suddenly it was cleared away by some unforeseen power. A person was seen in the middle where Sailor Moon once stood and everyone including Naraku was shocked by who they saw. This figure held Tenseiga in her hand and this woman was glowing white as it wasn't Sailor Moon. Usagi had transformed into Princess Serenity. She held the Tenseiga and the sliver crystal was floating in front of her.
"So the little princess finally shows herself" Naraku said. "Naraku thanks to the power of the sword Tenseiga you haven't defeated yet and this sword has restored my strength as well. Now Naraku I will make you pay for all of your crimes in the name of the moon" Princess Serenity said.
"Foolish moon princess this battle has just begun" Naraku said as he dark aura grew larger and Princess Serenity's white aura was glowing bright and below the jewel was glowing brighter. The final stage of this battle was about to commence.
