Part Two:
Final Battle/ Seiryuu vs. MiruNakago stared at the many-mirrored walls. Suboshi and Amiboshi stood in front of Yui, while Ashitare, Miboshi, Tomo, and Soi prepared themselves for an attack.
"Everyone be on their guard" Nakago replied, "Anything could happen?"
"Nakago" Soi looked at him a little afraid.
The mirrors started to reflect thousands of their images on the walls, so that the Seiryuu seven were staring back at many duplicates of themselves. The forms began to move out of the mirrors and stood in front of the seven of them, Yui right behind them.
"What is this?" Suboshi asked, "This is some kind of trick."
"Let's give him the booby prize" another image appeared in the center mirror.
Her form emerged quite softly and she gazed at the warriors before her.
"Well Nakago" Miru replied, "I didn't think that you would be the one that I would have to fight but, since you are really only my half-brother, I don't feel so bad. But in the meantime perhaps all of you would like to wrestle with yourselves for awhile" she chuckled and disappeared.
"Does this mean that we have to fight these other selves?" Amiboshi said.
"It would appear that way" Tomo replied, "Nakago?"
"Let's each take on the two in front of us. Lady Yui you stay behind" Nakago said, "Ashitare you protect her."
"Yes sir" Ashitare replied moving his big body in front of her and growling at the two Ashitare's that stood in his way.
Suboshi and Amiboshi stood in front of their two duplicates and pulled out their weapons.
"Remember brother, they are us, but they do not have our power" Amiboshi said placing the flute onto his lips.
"Right" Suboshi replied back, "Ryuseisui come to me!" his weapons came forth.
Soi, Tomo, Miboshi began attacking with their power, while Nakago looked towards the top for Miru. When his duplicates came rushing for him he drew out his sword and began to fight.
Last Battle: Byakko Vs. Yotsui
Meanwhile on the battlefield to the west the Byakko seven had found an entrance into Tokyo tower. They were now charging head forward into it led by Tokaki and Tatara. Suzuna stood nearby Subaru, Kokie, and Karasuki, while Toroki and Ameturi followed in the rear. They entered in and find themselves in a dark forest.
"So what exactly is this place?" Toroki replied cynically, "Another trap?"
"No" Suzuna shook her head, "He's here. This is where Yotsui is."
"Are you sure Suzuna?" Tatara asked looking at her in concern.
"I'm positive. He's here."
"Quite astute as always my dear" Yotsui appeared in one of the taller trees, "And the Byakko seven. I'm glad that you could make it."
"Yotsui!" Tatara shouted, "Enough of your fun and games!"
"But that is what I am made of Tatara" he replied with a smirk, "But it would be more fun for me if I was to have a little show of your power now."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Tokaki growled.
"What are you up to?" Subaru added angrily.
"You'll see soon enough" he replied, "In the meantime I'll let my friends entertain you" he disappeared with a laugh.
Suddenly a swarm of giant insects came their way.
"Shield the Priestess!" Tokaki ordered, "Ameturi! Kokie! Stay with her!"
They nodded.
"The rest of you come with me!" he charged forward with Subaru, Tatara, Karasuki, and Toroki.
"Tatara" Suzuna held her hands together with a worried expression as they began to fight the swarm.
Final Battle: Genbu Vs. Hikou
On the northern side of the Tower, Iname had broken through the spell with the help of Hikitsu and Tomite's arrows. Hatsui and Urimiya were the first to charge in and found themselves in a cave filled with water that surrounded the entire area.
"What is this place?" Hatsui replied as Takako and the other warriors joined them.
"Water?" Urimiya added.
"Miaka warned me that this guy Hikou has the power to use water for evil purposes" Takako explained with a frown.
"Okay" Namame nodded, "Then we know what we're up against. Right Iname?"
"Yes" Iname agreed with his friend, "I'm ready if you are Namame."
"Let's do this thing," Uruki said shouldering her bow and preparing for an attack.
"I wouldn't be so eager to die you know" Hikou appeared above them in the air.
"He's got wings!" Hatsui exclaimed.
"Takako get behind me" Namame replied.
"Right" she agreed walking behind the prince.
"So you really think you can take me on do you Genbu seven?" Hikou crossed his arms.
"We're willing to try!" Tomite shouted.
"No" Namame shook his head, "Not just try. We will take you on. Hatsui! Urimiya! Guard the priestess. The rest of you let's go!"
For once Hatsui and Urimiya didn't protest at being left out. But Hikou wasn't going to let them get away with it. He closed his eyes and said a spell. As they were running towards him several slimy creatures came out from the waves startling them and making them stop dead in their tracks.
"I told you before" Hikou grinned evilly, "Don't rush to your deaths. They'll come soon enough."
Final Battle: Suzaku Vs. Ren Shigyou
"Reka Shian!" Tasuki shouted sending a cascade of flames towards the center of the tower, "Now how's that for opening up a door" he smiled placing his fan behind his head.
"Brilliant job Tasuki!" Chiriko grinned running forward.
"Let's hurry up and get inside" Nuriko replied.
"Yes" Miaka nodded following Taka in at a run, "Yui and the others are already in."
They all ran in and found themselves in a bright illuminated room with one chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
"What is this? Taka said, "Is this some kind of joke" he scratched his head.
"No" Miaka replied with a shake of her head, "This is where he is. Ren Shigyou."
"Are you certain Miaka?" Hotohori asked.
"Yes" she nodded, "I can feel him. He's here. He's here right now."
"I like that about you Miaka" Ren appeared on a throne before them, covered with a barrier, "That you know when I'm around. It makes me feel so special."
"Ren Shigyou!" Taka shouted, "You have no right to talk to her that way."
Ren eyed him then stood up.
"Ah yes Tamahome. Glad to see that you're back to yourself. Of course I would have preferred if you stayed out of it. Live and learn I always say. And I have a lesson for the Suzaku seven."
"Oh yea and what's that" Tasuki replied angrily as Hotohori brandished the holy sword.
"A lesson in pain and death" the place where he stood began to rise, till his throne was looming above them, "My friends will keep you busy" demons began to appear in front of them, "Until Master Tenkou has made the two worlds one."
"Chiriko stay with Miaka" Hotohori replied, "Chichiri. Mitsukake you too."
"Of course your majesty" Chichiri nodded.
"We'll take care of her," Chiriko agreed.
"Yes" Mitsukake added.
"Tamahome you're up for this right?" Hotohori asked.
"You bet I am. You don't know how long I've been waiting to use these powers" Taka grinned.
"Well then let's go use them Tamakins" Nuriko said charging forward.
"Yea Suzaku all the way!" Tasuki added running next to Hotohori and Taka.
"Miaka stay behind us" Chichiri replied putting his staff out and beginning to make a barrier.
"Right" she nodded; "No not right" she thought to herself, "What can I do to help? What am I supposed to do Suzaku? Wait the stones. They have the stones. They must have them. Yui. Takako. Suzuna. Please say you hear me?"
"I hear you Miaka" Yui replied in her head.
"So do I" Takako said.
"And me as well" Suzuna replied.
"Do you know what we have to do?" she asked them.
"Yes" the three of them said at once.
"We have to get those stones," they said together.
(Till Next Time)
