Inuyasha X
Chapter 9
"We know we can"
By MEGAMANX411
Zero sneered at Sigma.
"I told you to leave her out of this!" he shouted.
He then shot a look to Iris.
"Iris, run!" Sigma aimed his gun at Iris, and Zero began dashing towards her. Sigma fired, and the blast hit. Iris gave a horrified look at Zero.
"Zero!" she screamed.
Zero did the same, looking at Iris in fear.
"Iris!" he responded.
Zero fell over. The blast had taken him by full force. Iris rushed to his side, and Sigma was preparing to fire again. Inuyasha took advantage of Sigma's inability to notice him.
"Oh no you don't!" he shouted.
Inuyasha jumped high up in the air, and drew his Tetsusaiga. He swung the sword and sliced the laser cannon on Sigma's chest. Kagura tried to worsen things by using a wind attack at Iris and Zero, but Kagome's sacred arrow managed to put an end to that.
Miroku looked at the incoming reploids with worry.
"We've got company..." he warned solemnly.
Slash Beast took a long look at the group, and then smiled as he turned to Kagura.
"Kagura, it doesn't seem like you need reinforcements at all..." he said slyly.
Frost Walrus joined in his teasing.
"Adding us into the fight would just make it unfair..haha.."
Web Spider, eager to mock Zero for being a Maverick Hunter, gleefully joined in.
"Hehe...look at the mighty Zero...!"
Sango looked at the reploids with contempt.
"Be quiet you!" she shouted.
Sango threw her boomerang which smacked Web Spider straight in the face. It knocked him back into Frost Walrus, but the damage was minimal. Miroku decided a threat might tip the scales of the battle.
"Don't move, or I'll suck you into my wind tunnel!" he shouted.
Frost Walrus looked down at Miroku like an insignificant bug.
"Hehe...."
Frost Walrus exhaled a huge wave of cold air, and started approaching Miroku. Slash Beast came from the side, and Web Spider came from the other side. Miroku looked upward at the bulky reploid behemoth.
"This doesn't look good..." he exclaimed.
Inuyasha was still fighing Sigma. Sigma tried smacking him with his huge fists, but Inuyahsa proved to be too agile. Kagura was fighting with Kagome, Sango, and Kilala, and Miroku had to deal with the reploids. Iris was at Zero's side, trying to get him to awaken.
"Zero! Please get up!" she cried.
Zero slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Iris as if he were in a daze.
"Iris...." he said quietly.
Iris had tears streaming down her face.
"Zero...you can't die! Here take this," she offered.
Iris lent Zero some of her energy. Zero stood up, as if by a miracle. He looked at his hands, and shook his head a little. He grinned, and looked at Iris lovingly.
"Iris," he said slowly. "Thank you."
He then looked towards the fight.
"I'm coming!!" he shouted.
Miroku was cornered by the three reploids.
"Oh man..this isn't good.." he muttered.
Miroku then heard Zero shout out "Ryuenjin!" Zero came in with a surprising attack, and used a rising flame slash on Frost Walrus. The effect severely damaged him.
Zero looked at Miroku, and flashed a smile.
"Did I miss anything?" he said.
Miroku had a look of relief wash over his face.
"Zero!" he exclaimed.
Kagura looked entirely agitated, and prepared another wind spell.
"Damn!" she screamed. "Take this!"
Sango interrupted her little plan. "Not so fast!" she threatened. Sango threw her boomerang again at Kagura, but missed.
Kagura glared at Sango, and then prepared her escape.
"No sense staying here..." she muttered.
Kagura retreated once more. Sigma gave a hard stare at his supposed 'ally.'
"Wench!" he spat. "I don't need her help."
Inuyasha, once again taking Sigma by surprise, came rushing in.
"Oh yeah?!" he threatened.
Inuyasha was about to swing at Sigma's face with his Tetsusaiga, but Sigma brought out a surprise attack. A weapon mounted on his shoulder fired at Inuyasha, and knocked him back. Sango looked at Miroku and Zero who appeared to be in trouble.
"Miroku, Zero, I'm coming!" she shouted.
Slash Beast was fighting with Zero. Slash Beast was trying to gore Zero with his claws, but Zero managed to block the attacks with his Z-Saber. Miroku was trying to face Web Spider, but his attacks proved difficult to maneuver. And finally, Frost Walrus was trying to hit Zero as well, but Zero's speed proved to great. Sango, Kagome, and Kilala rushed in to assist.
Sango was preparing her attack, and gave a hard look at her enemies.
"Take this!" she threatened.
Sango once again threw her boomerang at Web Spider, and she managed to knock him down. However, he countered by spitting his web at her, and he froze her in place.
"Do you like spiders? Heh heh heh.." he teased.
Web Spider opened up a hatch on his body, and mechnical spiders began pouring out. Miroku rushed to Sango's aid.
"Oh no you don't!!" he protested. "Wind tunnel!!"
Miroku used his wind tunnel attack, which sucked up Web Spider, as well as his mechnical underlings. However, when he sucked them in, they clawed the sides of his wind tunnel. He wouldn't be able to use it the rest of the fight. Miroku rushed over to Sango to try and get her out of the way, but Slash Beast was coming.
Zero attacked Slash Beast with a dashing slash attack, followed it up with a rising somersault slash, and then ended his combo with a diving ice slash. The resulting attack did a lot of damage to Slash Beast, but not enough to destroy him. Now he was mad. Slash Beast growled with anger.
"ARGH!" he screamed. "Take this!"
Slash Beast dove at Zero with his claws out front. However, he didn't count on Kagome's sacred arrow, which pierced him from the side, and knocked him away. Slash Breast writhed on the ground, and Zero managed to give the final blow. It was only Frost Walrus and Sigma left now.
Frost Walrus smirked at Zero.
"Zero, let's make this a fair fight..." he mocked.
Zero returned with a smirk of his own.
"My pleasure!! Ryuenjin!!"
Zero quickly ran up, and opened up with a rising flame slash. He landed on top of Frost Walrus' body, and stabbed downward while standing on him. Frost Walrus was tossing and turning, and trying to get Zero off his back, quite literally. Meanwhile, Inuyasha just got back up from the attack made by Sigma. Sigma was approaching him, and was about to stomp on him with his enormous body.
Zero saw his partner was in danger.
"Inuyasha!" he exclaimed.
Zero quickly leaped off of Frost Walrus, and dashed over to Inuyasha. Zero was gritting his teeth as he rushed over to his companion.
"Damn," he muttered. "Gotta get there quick!!!"
Frost Walrus tried to stop Zero, but Sango, Miroku, and Kagome stood in his path. Zero just managed to get Inuyasha out of harm's way at the last second.
Inuyasha looked at Zero, completely dumbfounded.
"Thanks," he said humbly.
Zero shrugged.
"Don't mention it."
However, Frost Walrus was approaching fast, and looked furious.
"Die Zero!!" he shouted. "Ugh..."
Frost Walrus was shot from behind by Kagome's sacred arrow. It was just Sigma now.
Sigma narrowed his eyes.
"You think you can beat me?" he challenged.
Zero gave a hard look back to Sigma.
"No," he replied calmly.
Inuyasha, as if on cue, came up alongside Zero.
"We know we can!" he said with utmost confidence.
