Disclaimer: Don't own none of these characters or stories, and Kairi is owned by Wolfen-Ways, so if you wanna use Kairi, talk to her.
Kilnorc: heya guys! WOOOOOOO! 82 reviews! -dances- woo woo woo woo! ahem, anyway...thank you all for reviewing! and I know you all are saddened by the loss of Brian, the Guardian of both the Pharaoh and the Hellmouth, and the Protector of the Slayers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Master Vampire and Kairi stood on the tallest building in all of Domino City, gazing out at their domain. "You've done well, Kairi," he told her, smiling. "Thank you, Master. How long until the Hellmouth's power is unleashed?" she asked him. "A few days time...even with that Slayer's blood to speed up the process. We must prepare for the coming of that day, as our enemies are no doubt," the Master replied.
-Museum-
Everyone else met in lobby of the museum a few hours after Brian's death at the hotel. Wesley told the rest of the gang that Brian had been slain in his battle against Kairi, Tea was taken prisoner by the Master, and that Inuyasha had overheard what Kairi had said and decided to fight alongside them as long as it meant he would get his family back.
"How did you get lose anyway?" Joey asked the half dog demon. "Feh, weak sutras on the bars," Inuyasha said gruffly. Yami, Yugi, Joey, Serenity, Malik, Marik, Ryou, Bakura and Ishizu stood around the covered body of their friend and mentor.
"Can't believe he's gone,"Ryou said sadly. "He knew one day he would fall in battle, for the cause," Ishizu said quietly. "What do we do now?" Malik wondered. "We still need some more strength to our group, then we hunt down the Master and destroy him before he kills Tea and opens up the Hellmouth," Ishizu answered.
"When will he do that though? We don't even know where it is," Yugi chimed in. "I will look through the notes and maps we've collected over time and study them, see what I can dig up," Yami told his Hikari.
"What do we do about Judgement?" Malik asked them, nodding to the holy blade. "Guess we'll just store it and- OW!" Bakura cursed. He had tried to hold the blessed sword in his hand but had to release it because of burns. "What the hell is that about?" the white haired Tomb Robber muttered, grasping his injured hand.
"Only the Slayers and those who have the blood of Holy Warriors can wield that without injury," Giles explained, looking on at the scene. "Well he was killed by his own weapon, meaning that vampire bitch used it, how the hell did she do that?" Ash asked the former Watcher. Giles only shrugged, unable to answer that.
"So what do you plan on doing? Just sit around while your enemy grows stronger?" a cold voice spoke from the ceiling shadows. Everyone but Inuyasha was startled at the sudden intruder. "Hmph, Sesshomaru...what are you doing here?" he asked, watching his one armed demon brother jump effortlessly from his shadowy perch.
"Uh, dude you know him?" Duke asked pointing to the taller of the two demons. "Yeah, he's my half brother. His name is Sesshomaru," Inuyasha explained to him. Ishizu walked to the demon lord and bowed respectfully "Welcome Lord Sesshomaru," she greeted him. "Lord?" Joey asked them. "Yes, back in feudal Japan, he was Lord of the Western Lands," Ishizu explained.
"Well hello Mr. Fancy-Pants," Ash said sarcastically. "Well, glad I'm not the only one who goes with the jokes in a crisis," Xander muttered. "Seriously, he's right. We need to think of something," Marik interrupted the sarcasm fest.
They explained everything needed to both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru thinking they would help to some degree in their battle for their world. They were right to think that. After the introductions, and story telling, they set down to business.
-Hours later-
"Oh Ra, I don't get it, we've been all over these notes again and again, but we haven't found anything that can help us," Bakura said, pulling his hair out by the handfuls. "There must be something we're missing," Yugi told them. "You are seeking a place emanting with great energy, correct?" Sesshomaru asked calmly.
"Yeah, we've only been saying that for the past five fuckin' hours!" Ash half yelled at him. Sesshomaru glared at him, but continued on "Ever since my mate and I have taken residency in this city, I've been feeling waves of dark power coming from near the center of the city. I believe this is what you are seeking," he elaborated.
"Could you point to it on a map or do we have to play 20 Questions?" Xander asked dryly. Sesshomaru sighed and walked to a city map that was laid out near a large pile of open books. "Here it is, this so called Mouth of Hell you speak of," he said quietly.
Everyone leaned in to get a better look at it, "We're still gonna need help," Yami added. "You guys remember Sid?" Serenity asked the group. Minus Inuyasha and Sesshomaru they all nodded "Well, according to Brian's notes, he's not the only living doll in Domino City," she said smirking.
-Hellmouth Location-
The Master and Kairi entered the largearea and were greeted by lesser vamps and demons. "Soon, my child. Soon we will turn this world to darkness and I shall rule it," the Master cackled.
Kairi grinned and looked up at the figure hanging right above the hole leading down to the Hellmouth's lock."Master, luck is on our side...from what I sense below...it will be opened at midnight tomorrow night," she giggled.
"WONDERFUL!" the Master roared in delight. "WORK HARDER MY CHILDREN! OUR DESTINY IS UPON US!" he commanded his servants. They roared in response and resumed their work.
-Base, A day later, Afternoon-
Andre Toulon was the newest recruit in this "holy war", he and his puppet friends. Of course even though everyone had dealt with odd things before, these puppets left quite an impression on them: namely scaring the hell out of them.
Ishizu went to the front of the room and cleared her throat, getting everyone's attention. "Today, we face an enemy unlike we have ever faced before. We will all do our part against the Master's army, but when we find the Master, it will be up to Serenity, Mai, Winry, as well as Tea once we free her, to fight him alone," she recited.
"Be warned Slayers of Domino, Brian was slain by the Master's servant Kairi, who's weaker than him by far. We must all take care in this battle, for if we should fail, all Hell will break loose...literally. Now this is the last chance anyone has to choose not to fight...," she trailed off.
No one seperated from the main group and she continued. "Now, I must warn some of you, this will prove a very difficult battle. Inuyasha, from what we know of you, you will revert to your human form tonight as tonight is the night of the new moon," she told the half-demon.
"Don't care, they've got my family, I'm fighting no matter whether I'm human or not," he declared. Ishizu nodded "Very well then, Yugi, Mokuba, Malik and Ryou, even though you are brave, you must take this fight from a distance and use what magical resources we have to fight. I'm sorry but neither of you are strong enough to fight these things alone. Joey, as you may have noticed, you are different from other werewolves, as was your sire. You are what we call a Lycan, a werewolf who can shapeshift at will. Use that and you should be fine. Pharaoh, Tomb Robber, Marik...you know what you have to do," she finished.
"What about us?" Kaiba asked, gesturing to himself, the Alchemists, Ash and Andre. "Protect the less stronger ones, they will be the most vulnerable ones in the battlefield," Ishizu answered "Any questions?" she asked.
They all shook their heads and she looked up at the night sky through the skylight in the room. "Lock and load," she ordered. Everyone took up their blades, the few guns they had, the magic books, and anything else needed.
It was during this Dawn noticed something strange "Guys...where's Brian's cloak, mask and where's Judgement?" she asked them.
