Chapter 21
The Real Naraku appears
Naraku was preparing to strike again as Princess Serenity was ready to face Naraku with all she could muster. Princess Serenity fired a beam of white energy at Naraku while Naraku fired a beam of dark energy at the princess. The too energies met half way from their targets as both energy beams were trying to push the other back.
Naraku was finding it difficult trying to push back Princess Serenity's beam. The sword had restored her strength and with it by her it was keeping her strength up so she wasn't even weakening. Naraku was making the beam of energy he was using against her even stronger as he was using all he could muster Princess Serenity. Sesshomaru moved towards the side where he tried to attack Naraku, however even with Naraku focusing his power on Princess Serenity he was still barely able to knock Sesshomaru with an energy blast from his eyes.
Sesshomaru was hurt, but not out. The other scouts moved closer to Princess Serenity and they grabbed her free hand. "Princess Serenity I think this is a good time to combine our powers" Sailor Jupiter said. "But we don't have all of the scouts accounted for" Princess Serenity said. "True, but look at Naraku he is having some difficulty keeping up with you" Ami said as everyone was noticing Naraku was having a tough time trying to keep Princess Serenity's power from overwhelming him.
"Let's do it" Haruka said. All of the Sailor Scouts channeled their energies into Princess Serenity as the beam of light grew larger and it was pushing Naraku's attack back further. "You still can not defeat me you fools" Naraku yelled out. "Damn even with all of our powers it is still not enough" Makoto said. "Then we better assist" Sesshomaru said as he grabbed a Sailor scout's hand and started channeling his own energy to Princess Serenity. Sesshomaru was soon followed by Kagome who grabbed Sesshomaru's hand and was giving her energy to Princess Serenity to combat Naraku.
The beam of energy created from Princess Serenity was getting closer to Naraku as the demon was no longer able to hold the attack back. The beam of energy went through Naraku's chest as he fell to the ground. Naraku was standing up again as he attacked the scouts with another beam of black energy.
A barrier was quickly created as the beam of energy bounced off of it. With all of their energies united Naraku couldn't harm them. Naraku charged them ready to attack with his claw hand, but an energy beam shot out from the sliver crystal at Naraku. Princess Serenity looked at Naraku and said "that was for Inuyasha."
Princess Serenity blasted Naraku with another beam of energy blowing his arm off. The princess then said "that was for Kikyo and Mamoru." Naraku was trying to regenerate, but Princess Serenity attacked again only this time she took out one of Naraku's legs. Naraku was getting up and saying "damn you how is this possible I planned for every possible action. How can you be winning and how could I be losing to a ditz like you?"
"Haven't you learned yet it isn't just power you need to win it is friends" Princess Serenity said as she blew off Naraku's arm with another blast of energy. "And that was for the scouts you killed and for corrupting Hotaru you monster" Princess Serenity said as she looked at Naraku as the demon was on the ground with no arms or legs and a large hole in his chest.
"Now Naraku be gone forever" Princess Serenity said as she sent a massive sphere of white energy at Naraku. Naraku couldn't escape as he was totally vaporized in the blast. Nothing was left of the demon they destroyed as Princess Serenity changed back into Sailor Moon and fainted from using the crystal. "Is it finally over" Kagome asked. "Some how that seemed a little too easy" Sesshomaru said.
"Come on don't spoil the moment" Makoto said. "No Sesshomaru is right something is not right here. My friends and I have fought Naraku many time before and we never had an easy time fighting him and I don't think defeating him could be this easy" Kagome said with a worried expression on her face.
"I am afraid Kagome and Sesshomaru are right. Naraku hasn't been defeated yet. After the battle with Hotaru I learned that the Naraku you were fighting wasn't the real Naraku in his True form" Sailor Pluto said. The other grasped as Sesshomaru looked at Setsuna and asked "If that wasn't Naraku then where is he?" "We have been standing on top of him the whole time" Sailor Pluto said. Everyone's faces went pale and their jaws dropped as Usagi was coming to. "You said we have been standing on him right" Ami asked. "Yes" replied Setsuna.
"Then are you saying the whole planet has become Naraku's body" Sesshomaru asked.
"That's imposable how could he have done it" Ami asked. "The planet Nemeses itself is full of dark energy and its core is full of dark energy like the rest of the planet. Naraku used the power of the shikon jewel and the sliver crystal to merge himself with the planet's dark energy and thus the planet not only became a massive living creature, but Naraku has become the planet itself" Sailor Pluto told them.
"Then how do we destroy a Naraku that is as big as a planet" Kagome asked. "You can't" Naraku's voice was heard as below the ground was shaking as a large cone of crystal emerged from the ground. It was as big as a fifty story building and still growing. When it was over looking the platform as the crystal was moving as it began to break apart. They were really bat wings wrapped around something. The two large bat-like crystal wings stuck out fully as Naraku was seen.
Naraku's new body was massive. His head remained the same his body was in his Yamata clothes with black Crystal spikes on his shoulders much like his other from and his arms with the crystal spikes were the same. Naraku was looking down on them as he laughed.
"Did you think you could kill me that easily" Naraku said. "No, but I will defeat you again" Usagi said. She tried to use the crystal but the power of Tenseiga was spent and she was tried out from using the crystal. Naraku was smiling and he said "I sent that copy of myself to weaken you so I could fight you with out worrying about any surprises. Now I will finish the job" Naraku said as he was going to use his hand to smash the scouts like a bugs on a table.
Meanwhile below in the ruins of the throne room the jewel was now glowing at its brightest as a beam of light shot up from the jewel towards Usagi. It engulfed her completely. Naraku stopped moving to try and figure out what is going on. Meanwhile inside the beam Usagi was undergoing another transformation as her scout uniform was becoming different. Sailor moon had become Eternal Sailor Moon. She was confused by what was happing she felt a new power within her as she saw a ghostly image of two women standing before her.
One woman was Kikyo and the other was a woman with long black hair and she was wearing old Japanese amour. "Hello Sailor Moon I am the Priestess Midoriko" Midoriko said. "What, but I thought you died" Usagi asked. "Only my body died and my soul was sealed within the jewel with the souls of the others demons and now that Inuyasha's wish has purified the jewel it will fade away. However it must fulfill Inuyasha's wish first" Midoriko said.
"And what is it" Usagi asked. "Inuyasha asked for you to have the power to destroy Naraku and that is why I, Kikyo and Inuyasha are here with you in sprit" Midoriko replied. "What" Usagi said as she looked around her to find Inuyasha's sprit here as well. "Wow" Usagi said. "Listen to me Usagi. Kikyo, Inuyasha and I will join our powers with you so you can be strong enough to defeat Naraku. Once you defeat Naraku, the Tenseiga should be strong enough to use to revive your friends. However even if you destroy Naraku's head the body will still live. The only way to destroy Naraku is to destroy the whole planet" Midoriko told Usagi.
"But how can I do that" Usagi asked. "Don't worry there is one among you who can, but you must first weaken Naraku before she can destroy him. In his final form Naraku is not only drawing power from the crystal, but from all of the evil, pain and anguish in the universe. Naraku will not be easy to weaken. Are you ready to face him" Midoriko said. "Yes I am ready and don't worry I will defeat Naraku" Usagi replied. "Then good luck from us all" Midoriko said as the beam of light around Usagi was slowly dieing away.
Everyone was surprised by her what was happening. Everyone could feel that Usagi was much stronger than she was before. "What trick is this" Naraku asked with a scowl. "Inuyasha made a wish on the Shikon jewel and that wish has set the stage for your defeat Naraku. I am stronger than I ever was before and with a new look" Usagi said as the light completely disappeared and everyone saw Eternal Sailor Moon standing before them. Everyone gasped as they saw the white aura glowing around Sailor Moon was bright and pure. "Naraku the wish made by Inuyasha has sealed your fate. This turn of events means that this is a whole new battle now" Usagi said as she gave Tenseiga back to Sesshomaru.
"Well this is indeed a surprising turn of events, but your power is still no match for mines Moon child. It is time we finish this battle once and for all. Only this time Usagi its winner takes all. Beside Usagi if you haven't been paying close attention to current events I am the whole planet here and even you don't have the power to destroy this planet" Naraku said as he started laughing.
"You're right about one thing Naraku it is time to finish this and I will defeat you for the all the people you have harm and the wish Inuyasha made will prove to be the beginning of your end" Usagi said as the others and Naraku prepared to engage each other in the final battle that will decide the fate of the universe.
