Chapter 22
Final battle
Naraku's massive body was overshadowing the platform the others were standing on as his bat-like wings as he raised his hands. In those hands were large spheres of energy were forming. "I will destroy you all" Naraku said as he launched two massive spheres of energy at the others. Eternal Sailor Moon created a barrier of white energy as the two beams of dark energy were deflected and sent flying into space.
"What how can this be" Naraku said as he noticed three ghost-like figures appearing around Sailor Moon. Everyone was shocked by what they saw as everyone including Naraku recognized them. "Kikyo, Midoriko and Inuyasha how is this possible" Naraku said as Naraku's expression changed from confident to concern.
"The power and the sprits of Kikyo, Midoriko and Inuyasha have joined with me and together we will defeat you" Sailor Moon said as a bow and an arrow made completely out of energy appeared in her hands. She took aim and fired. The arrow of white energy flew at Naraku as the demon tried to stop the arrow from hitting him by firing a volley of energy beams.
Naraku's attempts to stop the arrow failed as the arrow went through the beams of dark energy and it hit Naraku's shoulder destroying a large part of it. Naraku held his arm in pain as he looked down at Sailor Moon with a vengeful glaze. "Damn you Sailor Moon. Enough fooling around this time I am hitting you with everything I got" Naraku said as his whole body except for his head was crystallized and from the ground emerged seven dozen tentacles were rising into the air towards the platform as the tops of these tentacles all had a Naraku head at the end of it with sharp fangs and claw arms.
The mini-Naraku heads weren't only attack Sailor moon. But they were attacking the others as well. Sesshomaru used his energy whips to dispose of a few of them while evading them. Kagome was using her bow and arrows to shot and destroy a few that attacked her. Ami and her future self were using their strongest attacks to freeze a few tentacles then breaking them apart with a kick or a punch. Koga used his fist and his some good kicks to deal with the tentacles that attacked him.
The other scouts were destroying any tentacle creatures that attacked them while Sailor Moon's barrier was destroying any tentacles that came near her. Naraku retaliated by unleashing a storm of dark energy in hopes of blowing his enemies off the platform, but it wasn't working so he attacked with energy attacks from his hands and his eyes.
Meanwhile below Sailor Saturn was standing over the remains of those slain by Naraku earlier as she used her enhanced healing powers which weren't only capable of healing now, but she was capable of reviving the dead now thanks to the enhancements Naraku made to her earlier. Mamoru, Sailor Mars, Rei, Minako, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, and Kohaku were revived.
"What happened" Rei asked. "You were dead" Hotaru told them. "You again who side are you on now" Minako said as the others were ready to fight her. "I am not your enemy. Your friends are fighting Naraku and they need your help" Hotaru told them. "Where are they" Mamoru asked. "They are on a platform high above our heads battling Naraku who has merged with the planet" Hotaru informed them. Everyone was silence due to the news that Naraku is the whole planet now. "I know it's hard to take in, but there is a way to destroy him" Hotaru said. "What way is that" Rei asked. "Me. Now listen very carefully" Hotaru said as she started explaining her plan to the scouts.
Back on the platform the others were barely holding their own as Naraku was pushing his attack against them. The scouts were having a harder time fighting back the heads as the tentacles with the mini Naraku's kept coming. Sailor moon was attacking Naraku with more arrows, but his crystallized body was preventing them from hurting him.
Kagome saw that Sailor Moon wasn't hurting Naraku anymore. When Kagome saw Inuyasha's sprit together with Usagi she understood why he wanted her to have Tetsusaiga. "He planned this. I don't know how he could have but he did" Kagome thought as she looked at Sailor Moon and yelled out "Usagi catch!" Kagome threw the Tetsusaiga at Usagi. She caught it with one hand as she placed another on the handle.
"Do you think you can use that on me? Ha only a half demon can use that" Naraku mocked. Suddenly Sailor Moon pulled out Tetsusaiga and to everyone's surprise the blade transformed and was ready for use. Naraku was surprised and so was everyone else. "So brother you had this planned didn't you. Combining her power with Tetsusaiga was a clever move. Or is this just a mere coincidence" Sesshomaru thought as he cut another mini-Naraku tentacle in half with Toukijin.
"How is this possible? You can't wield Tetsusaiga unless that half demon wanted to die so his sprit could be with you thus somehow giving you the ability to use the sword. That damn half demon was plotting this the whole time. There is no fucking way he could be that smart" Naraku said as he was more concerned that Sailor Moon was wielding Tetsusaiga.
"Now with Inuyasha's weapon I will destroy you" Sailor Moon said as she jumped on to Naraku's arm while dragging the sword's blade along his arm. The blade was cutting into Naraku's body as the large demon was yelling in pain because it was filled with purifying energies. When Sailor Moon reached the end of his arm as she stood a few inches pass the elbow Sailor Moon used a wind scar attack to rip Naraku's arm apart she had just ran across.
She jumped off Naraku and was floating several feet away from his body when she started swinging the sword which unleashed a volley of energy waves which started tearing into Naraku's body. Large chucks of crystal were being blown off as each wave of energy ripped into Naraku's body. Naraku was in a lot of pain, but his other foes were slowly becoming overwhelmed by his tentacle creatures as they continued their attack. However suddenly a few energy attacks came out of nowhere vaporized a couple of them. Those attacks could have only come from the other Sailor scouts. Naraku thought he killed them and suddenly a rose hit the ground as from out of nowhere the others arrived on the platform with Hotaru leading the charge.
"The Calvary is here" Rei yelled out. "My friends you are alive" Usagi said with a tear running down her face. "Hotaru you traitor" Naraku said. "No Naraku you betrayed me when you lied about my parents death and now I will avenge them by destroying you" Hotaru said. "Even you can't destroy me Hotaru" Naraku mocked. "I can. Remember what one of my special powers is" Hotaru said as she pointed her Silence Glaive at Naraku. "Are you that serious about destroying me that you will sacrifice yourself and everyone here to destroy this whole planet just to get me" Naraku said.
"Since this whole planet is your body then the best way to destroy you is to destroy this planet and I never said I was planning to sacrifice anyone" Hotaru said with a smile. Suddenly one of the black moon family's ships appeared and it was firing volley of energy beams at Naraku. Hotaru turned to Sailor Moon and said "Sailor Moon lets finish off Naraku for good this time." "I am with you Hotaru; let's do it" Sailor Moon replied. "Who ever is on that ship I will destroy them now die" Naraku said as he fired a large sphere of energy at the ship. Sailor Moon jumped up and cut down with the Tetsusaiga right in front of it as this move triggered the Kaze no Kizu.
The attack ripped Naraku's body to bits as his wings were destroyed and both of his arms were gone and chunks of his chest and parts of his head were destroyed, but Naraku was still alive and starting to regenerate. "Everyone now it is time to deliver the final blow everyone. Now we must join hands for one last combined attack" Hotaru said. A few of them were sure but all of the Sailor scouts including their future selves and the Inuyasha gang joined their hands as they started glowing. Sailor Moon stood together as Hotaru threw the Silence Glaive into the air
All of the scouts called out their perspective planet names as those who weren't Sailor scouts just donated their energies to Sailor Moon as she was preparing to fire a large sphere of energy at Naraku. "I will not be defeated by this moon child" Naraku said as he was pooling all the power he had left into one final attack. A gigantic sphere of dark energy was forming in front of Naraku's chest as he was about to launch it at Sailor Moon and the others.
"It ends here" Naraku yelled out as he launched his sphere of energy at his foes. Sailor Moon fired the sphere of energy she created to counter Naraku's. Naraku's energy was completely engulfed by the energy attack as it was now heading for Naraku. Naraku had no way to stop the energy since he used all he had in his attempt to destroy the scouts. The energy attack hit him head on as more of his body was destroyed. All that was left was Naraku's head attached to a bunch of tentacles that were attached to the planet. The sliver crystal Naraku had fell out as Sailor Moon recovered it and gave it to Sailor Saturn.
"Now its my turn" Hotaru said as she used the power of the sliver crystal to add its power to hers as the Silence Glaive was floating in orbit around the planet was growing bigger as it was glowing white. "Naraku I will destroy this planet with my power however this planet shall never be reborn. Now Naraku" Hotaru said as she and Usagi were now saying these words together "Be gone forever!"
"The silence glaive in orbit started falling back towards the planet as it was falling to impale Naraku. Naraku was in the middle of regenerating when the Glaive impaled Naraku right through his head. Naraku was screaming as the combined powers of the scouts and the others was in that Glaive as it continued to go through Naraku's head as it was heading for the planet's core.
"So what if I die. I will be happy with the fact that you all died with me" Naraku said as he started laughing. "I don't think so" Hotaru said as the ship that fired on Naraku early teleported everyone aboard it. The ship quickly flew away as Naraku started screaming "No!" The ship was quickly flying away as the planet exploded and Naraku was disintegrated in the blast and his screams were heard as the gang flew away. However Naraku's sprit wasn't yet destroyed. With his final breath he pushed the shockwave from the planet's destruction to try and engulf the ship that his enemies were on in one final attempt to destroy them.
As the shockwave was coming closer to the group Naraku's face could be seen in the wave of energy as his voice was heard in their minds saying "You will not escape me!" However the ship was too fast for the shockwave to consume. The ship escaped as Naraku finally die with his last words was echoing through their minds saying "No!"
"We made it" Ami said. "That's not all we won. We destroyed Naraku" Usagi said as everyone was happy that Naraku was finally gone. "But wait how did you have a ship ready for us Hotaru" Kagome asked.
"Well I knew the scouts would have been too weak to teleport out so I was ready with an escape plan. Everyone please allow me to introduce this ship's new gunner and pilot" Hotaru said as she pointed to a chair floating high above them. It turned around and revealed Kagura was sitting there with a smile on her face.
"Kagura" everyone but Hotaru yelled out in surprise. "I didn't think all of you would be this surprised. You all should know that I would support any plan that involves destroying Naraku" Kagura said. "Hey Hotaru shouldn't you be dead from using your powers. Because I heard that when you use them you die" Minako asked. "That would have happened if I was human, but since I am half demon that little inconvenience doesn't affect me" Hotaru said as the silence glaive appeared in her hand.
"Before we return to earth I think we need to do something" Hotaru said as she used her powers to revive Inuyasha whose body she had sent aboard the ship to be revived after the battle. Inuyasha's eyes opened as he got up and looked around. "Hey what happened" Inuyasha asked as Kagome jumped him with a hug and tears falling from her face. "We won Inuyasha Naraku is dead" Kagome told him.
"I know I was with Sailor Moon in sprit when he was destroyed. I am glad to see that all of you are ok" Inuyasha replied. "Missed me Usagi" Mamoru asked. "You bet I did" Usagi replied as tears fell from her eyes. "You know nothing can get rid of me that easily" Mamoru joked.
Everyone returned to earth where as they were walking into the palace Kagome grabbed her chest as some kind of energy field was surrounding her. She was floating in the air as a sphere of black energy was forming around her. "What the hell is happening" Inuyasha asked. "Oh no I forgot about Naraku's trump card I learned about" Pluto said. "What trump card. What is it" demanded Koga. "We don't know, but I have a bad feeling we will find out" Setsuna said as the sphere of energy grew bigger.

Everyone returned to earth where as they were walking into the palace Kagome grabbed her chest as some kind of energy field was surrounding her.

"What trump card. What is it" demanded Koga. "We don't know, but I have a bad feeling we will find out" Setsuna said as the sphere of energy grew bigger.
