"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven," Sekka counted. "Excellent!" she called, "You're all here! It's so nice to finally see you all! The famous Shichinintai..." She sat cross-legged on the spiky back of Icykal, the Toukaibutsu mother demon. A legion of Toukaibutsu trailed behind her and her monster. Icykal crept towards the seven men very slowly, just as Sekka had instructed. "Let the frozen snow soften them up a bit," she had said. "Or rather, harden them..." She jumped suddenly, causing a few of her enemies to twitch. She landed mere feet in front of them. A sweetly sadistic smile spread across her cute face. Complete juxtaposition. She walked slowly to them, causing Jakotsu to relive vivid memories of all the other times he fought with her. "It starts," she called out over the howling storm. "I'll try to make it as quick as possible."

"Ginkotsu," Bankotsu said, "Think you can take out the big one?"

"Gishishishi," Ginkotsu snickered. "Fuck yeah!"

"Jakotsu," Bankotsu said, "You want Sekka, right?" His brother nodded.

"So do I," wicked Suikotsu smiled. "Slicing her up is gonna be so much fun."

"Then it's settled," Bankotsu smiled. "Renkotsu, Mukotsu, Kyoukotsu. You three are with me. We fight the ice monsters. Agreed?"

"Agreed!" his fellow brothers all called out in unison. Their final fight had officially begun.

Jakotsu and Suikotsu dashed forwards at Sekka, weapons bared. Ginkotsu rolled passed them to Icykal, and the others stayed put, letting the Toukaibutsu come to them.

"I take it you didn't get enough of me the other times we fought," Sekka smiled to Jakotsu. Then her gaze shifted to Suikotsu. "So you're the person Naraku posed as when I fought him." She sneered. "I hope you put up a better fight than he did."

"I promise you," Suikotsu said, holding up his claws, "I will." He lashed out at her, but she jumped back just in the nick of time.

"This is gonna be so much fun," she cackled.

(Shichinintai Bankotsu, Renkotsu, Mukotsu and Kyoukotsu versus Koori Youkai Toukaibutsu...)

Bankotsu held up his cherished halberd the Banryuu and spun it around on the palm of his hand. He grabbed its handle, stopping it, and jumped into the air. The small group of Toukaibutsu in front of him had no idea what was about to happen to them. "BAN...RYUU...SEN!" The Banryuu glowed with red energy, and when Bankotsu struck the ground with it, the energy took the form of a wave of red light and flew to the ice demons, decimating them. The snow settled. All that was left was a smoking crater. He smiled. "I dunno, I think Banryuusen is a better attack than Kaze no Kizu..."

Kyoukotsu stared down his enemy group of ice monsters. He had only ever tried ice candy once, because it didn't really agree with him. But of course he would make an exception this day. He swung his enormous arm at the demons, and caught a few of them. He tossed them into his mouth and brought his sharp jagged teeth together, crunching them up. "Not bad," he growled. "Maybe I should think about trying some more of that iced cream..." His monstrous eyes glanced back at the Toukaibutsu. "You're tasty," he growled.

Mukotsu lifted up one of his canisters of poison. "I know what you're thinking," he said to his enemy group of ice demons, "You're thinking 'we are ice demons, we can't be hurt by poison.' Well for the most part you're right. But don't forget: you're dealing with the poison using stalker Mukotsu here!" He flicked off the lid from the canister, and held it up to his mouth. He drank some, but before he swallowed, he spat it back out. The poison hit the ice demons, melting the whole lot of them. "The only person who's ever stood up to my poison was Sesshoumaru, and that's only because he's a powerful demon." Mukotsu stopped. "Oh wait, there was that other person too."

(Kathy Griffin's insane prattling had taken its toll on even the strongest of men. Now it was Mukotsu's unfortunate turn. She sat next to him, talking about not even God knew what. 'There's only one way outta this,' Mukotsu thought to himself. He lifted his canister and sipped some of the poison, then turned to Kathy Griffin and spat it out right into her face. But...it...did...nothing...! Mukotsu gasped as the poison just trickled down her face. She hadn't even stopped talking yet! "You're not human!" he exclaimed, and ran away.)

"She was still talking after I left," he sighed.

Renkotsu taught Kazan everything he knew about fighting. Now Kazan, the once cute cuddly cat demon, was ... still a cute cuddly cat demon, but now he had attitude! Kazan transformed into his giant demon form, like Kirara, and blasted a steady stream of fire at the Toukaibutsu. And guess what? Being ice, they obviously had no chance of survival. "Hah!" Renkotsu called out! "I love this cat!" Now it was his turn. He took his little jar of flammable liquid, took a sip, and spat out a stream of his own. Once again, the group of ice demons evaporated. "Maybe I should have helped out in more battles against these things," he muttered. "Oh, I wonder how Ginkotsu's doing?"

(Shichinintai Ginkotsu versus Koori Youkai Icykal...)

Icykal lashed at Ginkotsu with its massive claws, but missed every time. Sometimes, being the bigger stronger demon wasn't always best. Ginkotsu aimed his turret at the monster and fired. The mortar hit the demon's back and exploded. It left not even a scratch. Sometimes, being the bigger stronger demon was best. It tried again, lashing its claws at Ginkotsu. This time, it managed a hit. One of Ginkotsu's two turrets had been completely ripped off.

"Gishi!" Ginkotsu growled. "I don't wanna hafta use my self destruct on this thing." He started forwards and aimed his cannon at the monster, firing another mortar. Again it hit, and fortunately, did some damage. A crater had been carved into the monster's back. It yelled in pain and anger and dashed again towards its enemy. It brought a claw right down on top of Ginkotsu, crushing his entire turret, and pushing him into the snow. He was stuck. "Shit!" he exclaimed. "Fine then! Plan B..."

Ginkotsu's secret weapon: an army's worth of weapons concealed in his body. Waves after waves of missiles, bullets, bombs and other goodies made their way towards the giant ice monster. It got caught in the blast and was ripped apart into thousands of tiny pieces. All that remained of Icykal was several pieces of melting ice in a giant smoking crater.

"Gishi!" Ginkotsu smiled. "Hope the others are doing alright..." He glanced to his left. A hill rose up from the wasteland. On top of it he saw three figures fighting...

(Shichinintai Jakotsu and Suikotsu versus Yukionna Sekka...)

Sekka dodged Suikotsu's wild slashes by ducking under or jumping over them. Her ears twitch, telling her to duck, as the Jakotsutou slashed at her from behind. "These fools have gotten better," she whispered to herself.

"What's wrong, Sekka?" Jakotsu taunted. "Getting tired?" He laughed. Then he turned the laugh into his infamous demonic screech and let his sword attack again.

Sekka dodged the blade, and then froze in her place. "That scream," she whispered. "No, it can't be..."

"What's wrong, snow girl?" Suikotsu asked as he slashed at her from her left. "You seem to be preoccupied."

"Don't get cocky," she smiled, landing a punch right in Suikotsu's gut. He fell to the ground.

"Suikotsu!" Jakotsu yelled, running over to him. "Are you okay?" Suikotsu nodded.

"Jakotsu," Sekka called out. "You're war cry or whatever the fuck that was... Sounded familiar."

Jakotsu looked to her confused. That was the first time he ever used that shriek outside the recording room. How could she know about it? He felt his strength leave him for a second as he realized. "You..."

"Hmm?" the snow pixie inquired. "I what?"

"...listen to our music?"

Sekka stopped. "You mean... you're Yogore no Yurikago?" Jakotsu nodded. Sekka then let out a scream of excitement. "Wow! How coincidental is this!? I LOVE you guys!"

"Really?" Jakotsu exclaimed. "Wow, I've never met a fan before..."

"Jakotsu-"

"Can I have your autograph?" Sekka shouted excitedly.

"Jakotsu!"

"Of course!" Jakotsu smiled.

"JAKOTSU!!" Suikotsu got to his feet. "Might I remind you, both of you, that we're in the middle of a fight here?"

Nobody got to answer. From out of nowhere, a flock of Kuronigori's evil angels descended upon the lot of them. They grabbed and held everyone, all the Shichinintai, even Sekka. Then a mist of purple gas formed before them. From it emerged Naraku. "Ku ku ku," he sneered. "Sekka, you were supposed to have taken care of them by now." The angel holding Mukotsu flew over to Naraku, and let Mukotsu go.

"Jeez," he said, "You didn't hafta be so rough!" He turned to Naraku and walked forwards. "Okay, I got it." He held out his hand...

"The Shikon Jewel!" Jakotsu exclaimed. "Mukotsu-"

Naraku smiled as he took the jewel from Mukotsu. "Excellent work, my friend. I honestly wasn't expecting you to go through with it."

"I held up my end of the deal," Mukotsu said. "Now, what about you?"

"Of course," Naraku said, holding out his hand. A pink light started forming around Mukotsu. "I'll give you this demon body. If you destroy everyone here, all your teammates and this enchanting snow pixie, I will give you any body that you wish."

Jakotsu looked on in horror as his betraying friend transformed into a horrible demon.
