Chapter 24: The Showdown
-Naraku's Throne-
Ed transformed his metal-arm again in a blade. Both Sango and Winry had their Hiakotsus. Miroku held his staff and made a fist. Kikyo and Kagome had their bow and arrows on their hands. Shippo was on Al's shoulder and his hands were ready for a foxfire. Al and Koga were in fighting pose.
Envy smirked, "Come on Fullmetal, fight me!" Bankotsu also smirked; he also wanted to fight with Ed. Ed smirked at then, "Then we shall!" Ed first tried to strike Envy but he was fast. Bankotsu joined in and punched Ed in the face. Ed fell and his eyes turned more golden like Inuyasha's.
"Damn you!"
Sango and Winry then wanted to defeat Renkotsu. Renkotsu smirked at the two girls, "Come on you two babes, and fight me all you want!" He held his two guns out, Sango and Winry looked at each other and held their Hiakotsu…
"HIAKOTSU!"
Renkotsu started shooting them and the Hiakotsu fell down the ground. Sango and Winry's eyes widened.
Al and Shippo faced Suikotsu. They both got into their poses, Al ran to him and was about to punch him but his hand got grabbed by Suikotsu and tumbled him down. Shippo jumped and yelled,
"FOXFIRE!"
Blue fire came out burning only Suikotsu's arm. Suikotsu smirked and the burnt disappeared. He grabbed Shippo and started choking. Al stood up and tried kicking Suikotsu but he was too strong. Shippo was choking.
Miroku and Koga faced Wrath who was smirking. Miroku and Koga looked at each other and nodded. Then they tried strike Wrath, Wrath then jumped behind them and kicked them both with his legs.
"Shit…" Koga whispered and growled. He grabbed out his sharp dagger and tried to stab him but he was too fast.
Kagome and Kikyo held their bow and arrows up to aim at Kanna's mirror and her face. Kanna then held the mirror tight and looked at it with her emotionless face. The mirror started to glow and there came out 4 tentacles. Each of them had a red shard embedded on them.
Kikyo looked at Kagome, "Kagome heal Inuyasha with this red shard!" She gave it to her quick. Kagome nodded and went to the corner of the room, Luckily Naraku was watching the fight and was laughing that he didn't notice Kagome was going to Inuyasha.
Kagome held the red shard and the red shard embedded in Inuyasha's neck. Inuyasha's eyes opened and saw Kagome with a worried face. "Kagome!" Inuyasha smiled. "No time to talk, you got to help Ed look!" Kagome pointed to Ed who was trying to fight for his life.
Inuyasha nodded and ran to Ed fast.
Ed had bruises all over his face and left-arm. "Your becoming weak Fullmetal!" Envy smirked. Ed tried to stand up and his fingers became claws. "SHUT UP FREAK!" He clawed his face out. Inuyasha came in time and kicked Bankotsu on the face.
Inuyasha looked at Ed who totally was using his demons powers. Ed looked back at Inuyasha and smirked. Inuyasha smirked back.
"Ready?" Inuyasha said. "Yeah!" Ed and Inuyasha both kicked Envy and Bankotsu at the same time. Envy and Bankotsu were able to stand up because of the red shard in their necks. Bankotsu held his "Banryuu" weapon up. It was a rather large sword like Inuyasha's. Envy transformed his right hand into a blade.
Inuyasha got his tessaiga ready. Ed then saw the red pure shard in his pocket glowing… it floated up and transformed into a…
"Reverse Blade tessaiga!" Inuyasha's eyes widened. It was a twin of the tessaiga only it was a reverse blade and it had alchemical powers in it. Ed held the Reverse Blade tessaiga in his hands. Envy and Bankotsu's eyes widened but smirked.
"You think you can beat us? I think not!" Bankotsu then attacked Inuyasha with his Banryuu, Inuyasha defend himself with his tessaiga. Envy then strikes Ed with right-arm blade. Ed dodged it and cut off his blade with the reverse blade tessaiga. Envy winced in pain.
Naraku was watching and was horrified to see Inuyasha was healed and cured. But he enjoyed watching the fight anyway. He was also shocked to see the legendary Reverse blade tessaiga in Ed's hands. Naraku was getting horrified.
"Not to worry… I have seven shards of the Philosopher's Stone." He whispered and smirked. Ryuukosei was in an underground cage waiting to be released soon if the gang defeated them all. Naraku was enjoying all of this.
Sango and Winry grabbed their hiakotsus and faced Renkotsu. They swing their hiakotsu and it sliced Renkotsu's guns off. Sango and Winry smiled then they started running and kicked Renkotsu in the face.
Renkotsu fell on the ground with his nose all bloody. But he stood up and grabbed his bigger gun, which was a riffle. Sango and Winry's eyes widened but they stayed brave. "We have to do this Winry, we can!" Sango charged at Renkotsu but Renkotsu had shot Sango's arm. Sango yelled in pain.
"Sango!" Winry shouted but she too got shot in the leg. Winry yelled she had never been shot before in her whole life. Renkotsu approached them with a smirk. Winry's eyes widened until she remembered something… Al taught her alchemy.
She drew a transmutation circle with her blood on his gun and she did it. Suddenly, Renkotsu's gin was destroyed. "Damn you girl!" Renkotsu shouted, as he was about to get the two. Sango put the red shard out of her pocket and released the power out of it.
Red poisonous smoke came out, the smoke was acid and it burned Renkotsu's face. Renkotsu yelled like hell. Sango was able to stand up and grabbed the red shard out of his neck and stabs him with her dagger. Blood spit out of his body as he collapsed down the floor.
Winry was in pain with her shot leg, blood was all over. Sango's shoulder was bleeding badly. "Winry… I can't…" Sango collapsed on the floor. "SANGO!" Winry then held out the red shard and was able to heal Sango.
Sango's bleeding arm healed…
Winry collapsed on the floor after she tried to save Sango from death. Sango's eyes opened and turned to Winry. "WINRY NO!" Sango cried. Winry was dead… (A/N: Not bashing Winry!) Sango tried to wake Winry up but she was dead. Sango cried and held the red shard.
I HOPE THIS HAS ENOUGH POWER!
The red shard then healed Winry and her wounds were gone. Winry's eyes opened she felt healthy and alive. "Sango thank you!" Winry smiled. Sango nodded, "Come on let's help Kagome and Kikyo!" Sango and Winry then ran to Kagome and Kikyo who were struggling.
Kikyo tried to shoot the tentacles. Kagome also did as well.
"HIAKOTSU!"
Two Hiakotsu sliced off 2 tentacles. Two red shards then came out, Winry and Sango grabbed the red shards as fast as the can. Kagome and Kikyo smiled at them. "Come on we have to destroy 5 other tentacles!" Kagome said as she shot one. Winry, Kikyo, and Sango nodded. It was Girl Power time! (A/N: XD)
Back with Al and Shippo, Al was able to kick Suikotsu to the ground. Shippo was bruised in his neck but was able to fight. "FOXFIRE!" Shippo shouted full of energy. The blue fire became bigger and it flamed Suikotsu's whole body but still he wasn't hurt.
He grabbed Shippo and choked him until he was out of air. "SHIPPO!" Al yelled as he punched Suikotsu behind. Suikotsu dropped Shippo who was unconscious. Al then kicked Suikotsu behind 2 times until he collapsed. Al carried Shippo and put him in his armor safely.
Al then did alchemy but for the first time it had no array or circle. After Al did alchemy Suikotsu shot up. "WHAT THE HELL?" Suikotsu yelled and fell onto the ground. Al noticed how he was getting power.
"The red shard…"
Al then ran to him and kicked him. He then grabbed the red shard out of his neck. Suikotsu became weak. Al then grabbed Suikotsu's sword and plunged it through his heart. Suikotsu yelled in pain.
Al stepped back as blood shed everywhere. "Yuck… I'll never do that again…" Al said as he stepped back, he then glanced at Miroku and Koga who were having troubles with Wrath. Al grabbed Wrath from behind. "Take him down guys!"
Koga and Miroku smirked, "Our pleasure!" Miroku grabbed the red shard first and punched Wrath on the face. Wrath became weaker without the red shard… Koga then grabbed his dagger out of his pocket and slashed Wrath's chest. Blood spit out and Al dropped Wrath on the ground.
Miroku, Koga, and Al smirked. "Hey Al, where's Shippo?" Miroku asked. "Oh he's in my armor resting… he was choked by Suikotsu…" Al frowned.
Back to Ed and Inuyasha's fight, Bankotsu slash Inuyasha's arm but not entirely. "DAMN!" Inuyasha yelled in pain, Bankotsu smirked. Ed saw Inuyasha, "Inuyasha!" But then Envy strikes him but Ed unleashed the alchemy power in the reverse blade tessaiga.
Envy's eyes widened as he was slashed in half by its demon and alchemical power. Envy screamed in pain as blood shot out of his body as he was cut in half. Bankotsu looked back at Envy, "ENVY!" Then Inuyasha grabbed him and choked him. Ed grabbed Bankotsu's weapon.
Bankotsu was choking and Inuyasha choked him harder. "I defeated you once, and you're about to die!" Inuyasha did alchemy in his neck and suddenly his neck shot out blood also his face and body. Inuyasha dropped Bankotsu on the ground; he then grabbed the red shard.
Ed also grabbed the red shard that was in Envy's body. They both smirked, "Well good job Inuyasha." Ed said. Inuyasha nodded, "Feh, you were good."
Then they heard screams.
"That sounded like Kikyo!" Inuyasha yelled.
"And Kagome!" Ed shouted. The two then went to Kanna…
The last tentacle got Kikyo and Kagome both. The tentacle that came from Kanna's mirror was choking Kagome and Kikyo. Sango and Winry were on the ground bruised and hurt. Al, Miroku, and Koga tried to help Sango and Winry.
"TESSAIGA!"
Ed and Inuyasha yelled at the same time as they swing their tessaigas at the tentacle that had Kagome and Kikyo. Kagome and Kikyo fell down but Ed caught Kagome and Inuyasha caught Kikyo just in time. The two lay them on a safe place. "They'll be fine…" Ed told the others.
Ed turned to Kanna who was still emotionless and had the mirror in her hands. Ed then slashed the mirror in half with the reverse blade tessaiga. Kanna noticed this and suddenly for the first time she had an emotion… a shocking emotion. Kanna then fainted and the red shard embedded in her body came out.
Ed grabbed it and put it in his pocket. Miroku came and carried Kanna next to the other girls.
Then everyone heard clapping, "Bravo! Bravo!" Naraku said and smirked. Inuyasha and Ed glared at him. "Naraku!" Inuyasha growled. "You're the one who started all of this!" Ed shouted and growled also.
Naraku then smirked and clapped his hands. The ground started shaking and it was shattered. A large dragon came out and it was…
"Ryuukosei…" Inuyasha said as his eyes widened. Naraku laughed evilly. Everyone gasped.
"It's time for all of you to die!" Naraku laughed evilly.
Author's Notes: Oh no! Ryuukosei has finally arrived! What will Ed, Inuyasha, and the others do to stop this demon? Stay tuned.
