The air had a relaxing quality to it as the Inuyasha gang milled about, minding their own business, punctuated by the occasional:
#Grope#
"HENTAI!!!"
#Wham#
#Thud#
And don't forget the:
"Blah blah blah wench! Blah Blah Blah Wench!"
"SIT!"
#Splat#
Yep, after a few days of turmoil, life has gotten back to normal as it would ever get. Whenever they weren't training some more, they would hang out around the new camp (which was situated high on a mountain top) talking about...well, whatever people talk about when they have nothing to do.
On one of these relaxing days, Miroku decided to head over to the small library that they kept. Picking out a bunch of random scrolls, he opened them up and peered at what was inside.
'Let's see,' he thought. 'Pictures of naked women- tempting, but Sango would gut me if she caught me with these-' he proceeded to place them back into the shelf. 'Hmm, history of the void, already know that... a scroll full of basic spells, already know them...information on the Seven Spells of Heaven and Hell? Interesting...' he picked up the before mentioned scroll took a closer look at it.
The ancient scroll read;
"Upon this scroll is inscribed the Seven Spells of Heaven and Hell. No mortal should lay eyes on this parchment." 'Well, too late for that,' mused Miroku.
"The Wrath, the Fury, the Tears, the Breath, the Eye, the Shadow, and the Creation of the gods will bring ultimate destruction to this desolate world: Only the Jutsu no Ougi can overshadow the powers of the gods."
'The powers of the gods... I can't imagine wielding destructive capabilities like that,' thought Miroku. Just then, Inuyasha's voice called out to him.
"Oi! Bouzo! Get out here! Something's coming!"
Giving a small sigh, the monk replaced the scroll and trudged out to the entrance.
"What is it, Inuyasha?"
"Look out over to the west and tell me what you see."
Miroku peered far into that direction. What greeted his eyes was an enormous army youkai, bearing down on their position.
"Kuso...is there anything we can do?"
"Nope. They're too fast for us to outrun, and they'll catch us sooner or later anyway. We might as well stand and fight."
"#Sigh# I was afraid so... we better tell everyone else."
And so battle preparations were made. By time they were done, the army had reached the base of the mountain and was awaiting orders. When the girls first saw the sheer mass of bodies that they had to face...
"Nani?!...Kami, there must be thousands of them..."
And thousands there were. Hundreds upon hundreds of demon squadrons, all arranged neatly in tight formations, stood silently like stone guardians.
The frontlines consisted of blade demons and several gigantic, bull-like demons carrying huge platforms on their backs. Each platform was brimming with eager imps holding bows and arrows.
The back lines were crawling with spike demons and another type of blob-like demon that looked very much like a sack with a funnel sticking out at the sack opening. Artillery demons, obviously.
The rest of the army was made up of thousands of imps carrying flimsy weapons and winged demons hovering over the same spot.
And at the very back...the Four, along with a glowing figure that the Inuyasha gang did not recognize.
Everyone of them stood stock still, as if they were waiting for oblivion to arrive.
"Looks like they've surrounded the mountain." said Miroshin.
"So no escape?" asked Sango.
"Hai. No escape. The only way out is to fight."
"But how are we to fight against an army that big?"
"Well...we could always make our own army, right?"
Everyone stared at Kagome. Feeling a little uncomfortable, she continued, "Well, can't you guys create your own servants? I mean, Sango-chan made a golem in our first battle, hai?"
"She's right... I DID make a golem that fight..."
"So why don't we make our own?"
"Do we know how?"
"Got any other ideas?"
"Well...no..."
"Thought so."
"Everyone, take a moment to meditate, then start summoning."
And so they did.
-Back with the Four-
"So, Shougan...are we just going to sit here and do nothing?"
"Precisely," spoke the blue demon with a smirk. "I want them to make the first move. Currently, I'm guessing that they're going to charge directly at us with summoned creatures-"
-Back to Kagome-
"Ok, once Sango charges with her summoned golems-"
-Back to Shougan-
"They're going to have some of them attack our flank-"
-Back to Kagome-
"Inuyasha and I will split and attack their flank-"
-Back to Shougan-
"And the rest of them is going to perform a mop-up maneuver-"
-Back to Kagome-
"And Miroku-sama, Miroshin-sama and Mirosuke-sama will perform a mop-up maneuver. Everyone got that?"
"Hai!"
"Oi, Kagome, where'd you learn about military strategy?"
"Oh, I used to watch Sota play a lot of strategy games, so I got a basic grasp of strategy."
Inuyasha nearly did a face plant. 'She learned strategy from that video game crap? Oh Kami help us...'
-Back to Shougan-
"Everyone got that?"
"Hai. But how did you come up with all of this?"
"Err...no clue..."
Everyone except Shougan and Nisshou sweat dropped.
-Back to Kagome-
"Well guys, this is it. You got the plan right?"
"Hai," chorused everyone.
"Then in that case...MINNA-SAN! SHUUGEKI!!"
The warcries erupted from the charging group as they thundered down the mountain.
-Shougan's camp-
Shougan watched it all from the safety of his camp, his cold blue eyes watching every move the attackers made.
'So it begins...'
-Back to the battle-
Sango paced her charge with the lumbering stone golems as they plowed into the youkai army, the demonic bodies flying left and right. Artillery began thundering down as the huge blobs swelled with acid and let out a blast. Not to mention it literally rained spikes as the spike demons opened fire...
'We need to take out those ranged attackers fast... and the only way to do that is to get to them quickly...'
"Daichi. Ishi. Dekai. Zenpou. Crushing Boulder!" A colossal boulder came out of nowhere and rolled forward, crushing everything in its path and leaving a wide road that exposed the ranged attackers.
"Everyone, forward!!"
-Inuyasha's battle-
Inuyasha cruised on his flaming dog-spirit as would a surfer to his surfboard. When Sango crashed through the front lines, he and Kagome split up; him taking the left and her taking the right.
'Alright, you artificial freaks of nature...bring it on!' He bent down and slapped his tiger lightly in the side of the neck, causing it to breathe out a long column of flame. Then he began chanting, "Ho. Rai. Nami. Lightning Wave!" A crash of thunder rang throughout the battle field as a horizontal wave of lightning disentigrated the left flank of the demon army.
"WHOOO!!" crowed Inuyasha, drawing Tessaiga. "Bring it on you freaks!"
-And now to Kagome...-
After splitting up with Inuyasha, Kagome rode on the back of her ice cat and decided to do a little disorienting...
"Mizu. Meimu.Genzou. Hallucination!" Six more Kagomes, all of them looking exactly alike, appeared out of nowhere and began running amok. Not sure of which girl to target, they didn't see the spell coming at them until it was too late...
The Ice Arrow crashed through the enemy lines like a needle through hot butter, freezing and shattering enemies upon contact. A full two dozen were wiped out, but hundreds more took their place.
'Ugh, this isn't good...' she thought. 'At this rate, we'll tire out by the time we reach the Four.' Fortunately, Miroku just arrived with reinforcements.
"Kaze. Doku. Sui. Corrosive Miasma!" The cloud of miasma billowed out, disintegrating hundreds of demons. The rest of the group took this opportunity to catch a breather and prepare another spell.
Sango was the first to act. Targeting the ranged attackers, she chanted, "Daichi. Ten. Ishi. Shikkyaku. Kobushi. Heaven's Fist!" After a few seconds of waiting, a large chunk of rock fell down from the sky and annihilated almost all of the spike demons.
By now, about half of the demon army was destroyed due to the combined efforts of the group. Of course, they were hardly uninjured, but they had enough strength to finish the job that they started.
But suddenly, the entire army retreated.
'Nani? What's going on?" asked Inuyasha.
The Four had arrived, along with that strange glowing figure. Looking at it a little bit closer, it turned out that the figure was dressed in full monk garb, complete with a staff and a wide straw hat and mouth bandana that completely covered his features.
"Greetings again, Inuyasha," called out Shougan, an arrogant look on his face.
Before Shougan could continue, Inuyasha shot back, "Back for another beating, Shougan? I bet your little 'master' got pretty pissed at you for running back home with your tail between your legs!" Apparently, that memory struck a nerve.
"Silence, filthy half-breed! Anyways, we are not here to fight you. But HE," -at this he jerked his thumb to the glowing figure- "Will. Now be good little children and have fun!" he cackled. The Four then stepped back and created a near-impenetrable barrier, allowing no one to enter or escape.
"Nisshou," started Shougan. "These demons are here to corrupt the land. Purify them."
"Hai, my lord," responded the misguided monk. Nisshou turned to the Inuyasha gang and declared, "Foul demons! You dare putrefy this land with your evil deeds? I will surely purify you here and now!" The monk suddenly shot out a pillar of light from his hand, directly at Miroku.
Miroku tried to dodge, but try as he might he failed to prevent the beam from disintegrating his left hand.
"AAArgh!!" he screamed in agony.
"Yamero!" shouted Kagome. It figured she would be the one to take a diplomatic approach. "Excuse me, but we're not demons! Even you can plainly see that-"
She was cut off by Nissho, who shouted back "Silence beast! I can feel your jaki radiating off of you! So be quiet and die!" He lunged at Kagome, who just barely dodged and careened into Inuyasha.
This was going to be a tough battle...
