Chapter 4: Feudal Era Future Shock!
Zero and his new group of comrades continue on their journey to find and destroy Naraku. As they walk, Shippo continues to show immense interest the armor and weapons of his new ally. I wonder if he's stronger than InuYasha... Shippo wonders. I guess I am just glad that he's on our side! Suddenly, InuYasha freezes in his tracks, sniffing the air.
"There are demons nearby...I can smell 'em!" he says.
"Yes, InuYasha, i can sense the demonic aura as well!" Miroku adds.
"...Wait a minute! i recognize that stench anywhere! Demon bats! Damn...I thought we wiped them all out!"
"I remember the big battle... Many of them were killed as well as the head of their tribe," Miroku comments. "It looks like there were some who either weren't there or they somehow managed to escape..."
"Looks like we got a battle on our hands!" shouts InuYasha, drawing out Tetsusaiga. "You ready, Zero? Now we get to see if you got what it takes to survive around here!"
Zero smiles and nods..."Let's do it!"
The brave group of warriors head in the direction where InuYasha sensed the demonic aura. Man, I could have sworn that we wiped them all out! InuYasha thinks to himself. As the heroes arrive on the scene, they notice that there are more than just a few; not only that, but they are attacking the villagers. InuYasha charges ahead with Zero close behind, drawing the Z Saber and Kagome arms her bow and arrow. Charging the village, everyone leaps forth into battle.
"Wind Scar!" shouts InuYasha, performing his most powerful attack, as Sango hurls her giant boomerang at a group of bats. Elsewhere in the village, Miroku swings away at bats who have turned to attack him and Shippo, who uses his Foxfire attack. In another area of the village, Kagome fires arrows at the bats while Zero utilizes his Twin Slasher attack. With a free second to spare, Zero glances over his shoulder only to find that Kirara was quickly being outnumbered.
"InuYasha, Kirara needs help!" Zero shouts to InuYasha, who turns as he kills yet another bat.
"Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" InuYasha shouts, flying through the air. As InuYasha lands, Zero glides by him, landing by Kirara and initiating his Hyouretsuzan attack. As moments pass, and Kagome the remaining Demon bats are exterminated, Kagome freezes in her tracks.
"What's the matter, Kagome?" Shippo asks, running over to her.
"...Jewel shards..." said Kagome. " I sense two shards over in that direction," she says, pointing towards the mountains to the West.
"Let's go get some Jewel shards!" InuYasha shouts. "By the way, Zero, I'm impressed! Those were some fancy moves you did back there!"
" I am curious to know the source of your power," Miroku ponders.
"Well it is connected to every facet of my body. It reacts to all of my body's reflexes, metabolism, and other functions. It converts my energy into projectile attacks and heals over time. Simply put, it's my body's strengths enhanced, and none of the weaknesses." Zero explains.
"As interesting as that was, can we go now?" yawns InuYasha. "Don't forget, there are Jewel shards at stake now!"
And with that, our heroes head towards the mountains in search of the Jewel shards that Kagome sensed.
