Inuyasha X
Chapter 20
"Too far"
By MEGAMANX411
Mega Man X was geared up in his ultimate armor, his power was virtually overflowing. This pleased Naraku all the more.
"You've shown me your true power!" Naraku said with a grin, with traces of Sigma's consciousness evident in him.
"Excellent..."
"Shut up!" X replied angrily. "I've had enough of you! I'm gonna...!"
Naraku just cocked his head in arrogance.
"Going to do what, exactly?" he challenged.
X dashed over to Naraku with incredible speed, and practically vanished for a moment. X seemed to reappear behind Naraku, with a look of extreme rage on his face. His teeth were clenched and his eyes were narrowed, and his body was extremely tense. He shook with fury.
"That's it...release your rage..." Naraku whispered happily.
X let out a powerful punch as he screamed with rage, one that sent Naraku flying backwards quite some distance. X rushed as quickly he could, not allowing Naraku any time to get back up, and kicked him while he was on the ground. X picked him up off the ground, and shoved his X-Buster into Naraku's stomach.
"DIE!" he shouted.
X fired his weapon straight into Naraku's stomach, creating a massive hole in his abdomen. But he didn't fire once. He fired again and again, over and over until he felt Naraku fly backwards out of his grip from the sheer impact of the blasts. X didn't let Naraku rest after that, however, as he caught Naraku before he fell over, and threw him up in the air. X jumped high up in the air, and kicked Naraku with impressive might, knocking him back down to the ground. Naraku was completely speechless the entire fight. Either he was too stunned to react, or he simply didn't care. Naraku laid on the ground, his body ravaged, and a massive hole in his stomach. X floated nearby with his arms crossed.
"Get up!" he shouted. "I know you're not dead."
Naraku complied, and had a smile on his face.
"You're sharper than I thought," Naraku replied.
"That's what I like about you X. You're impressive. You'll make a fine addition."
"I'm not something that you can own!" X interrupted. "I am...me!"
Naraku smirked.
"In time, you will be destroyed and reborn. Just keep fighting!" he challenged.
X complied with Naraku's teases, and rushed for Naraku once again. He landed a punch, and then another. And another, and another, and another, and another, and he kept going. X felt that he couldn't stop, he needed to expel his rage and destroy Naraku. He then grabbed Naraku's head, and slammed it against his knee. He didn't let Naraku rest after that attack, and stomped on his chest with both legs.
Naraku smiled.
"I've had enough..." he whispered quietly. "It's time to finish this."
All of the sudden, the sky turned black. X looked up, and saw that hordes and hordes of creatures were coming, each more abominable than the last.
"What..what are those..?" he asked.
Naraku managed to continue giving his arrogant smirk, despite the attacks made by X.
"My demonic hordes," he replied. "They should hold you. And if they don't."
Vile and Kagura appeared nearby, as if by Naraku's will. X pointed at the both of them, the only thing he could force out was a bit of a grunt. The demons came surging through. X tried to get to Naraku, but the demons prevented him. They grabbed at X, and started pulling him up into the air, where the demons proceeded biting and clawing at him.
"Arrggh..rrgh...let...me....go!!!" he shouted.
X kept struggling in his prison of demons, and was focusing his energy inwards. A pair of wings on X's back then unfolded and his body began to be surrounded in a faint glow. X was realizing the power Dr. Light intended him to have.
"I've had enough of this! NOVA STRIKE!" he screamed.
X charged forward, and his body was covered in a massive layer of energy, which incinerated the demons upon the slightest touch. X rocketed around the air at incredible speed, and soon, none of the demons remained in the air. Naraku was slightly taken aback by this.
"He..he killed them all?" he said, perhaps having a hint of worry in his voice.
Naraku brushed off his worry, and tried to turn it into profit, like he usually does.
"Heh...he's stronger than I once thought. He'll be an excellent addition indeed!" he said arrogantly.
X was flying in the air, propelled by his Nova Strike attack, looking down at Naraku, Vile, and Kagura. Naraku nodded at Kagura and Vile to attack X while he was in the air. Kagura nodded.
"As you wish, my master!" she replied.
Kagura swung her fan, and summoned mighty blades of wind that were hurled at X. X merely tensed, and prepared his Nova Strike, rocketing himself towards the ground. He shot through the winds attacks, which didn't faze him in the least bit. Vile's attack was equally futile, the blasts were vaporized as soon as they touched X.
In that instant, Naraku could hear Sigma screaming inside of him.
"Run!" he shouted. "We'll both be destroyed if you don't escape!"
Naraku paid little attention to what Sigma said. X propelled his body straight through Vile, and continued on, driving himself and Vile straight into Naraku. He kept pushing forward with all his might, focusing the aura of energy around him into one massive destructive force. The incredible surge of energy incinerated Naraku at that instant, and his body almost instantly vaporized upon contact.
X stood there, where Naraku and Vile once stood. He turned his head slowly, and looked to Kagura, who was completely stunned, and looked incredibly frightened. Mixed feelings rushed into her, both of relief and horror. She was now free of Naraku, but still, one couldn't rest easy with one so powerful and full of rage.
"Leave this place, and live your life peacefully," X shouted as he looked at Kagura with a hardened stare.
"You...you're not going to kill me?" she responded, looking confused.
X shook his head.
"No. I've had enough killing. Leave now, but if you insist on harming people, then I will have to destroy you, and if I don't, someone else will do it in my place. You are free of Naraku, you should live peacefully," he preached.
Kagura almost chuckled inwardly at the sentiment. X was completely clueless how much she wanted to hear that. She was free! Of course, Kagura wasn't quite good as thanking others, and the sheer impact of what had happened today had really shocked her. She tried to mutter a "thank you", but it was largely inaudible. She then proceeded to fly away on her feather, eagerly accepting her new free life.
As he saw Kagura leave, X relaxed his body, and his armor reverted to normal. He looked at the pile of bodies that was his friends. He worriedly rushed over to get them to safety, and carried them to the nearest village, where he tended to their wounds. As X laid them all to rest, he mumbled to himself, and smiled.
"I've done it. For you."
