Chapter 19: The Wrath of the Trinity Goddesses
Chelsey's decaying body grew dark and was surrounded by a strong black aura. She screamed as the energy released itself, consuming her. Her hair grew long and black and her eyes were dark crimson. She wore grey robes, and her nails grew wickedly long. The goddesses smirked.
"Well, well, well... Nasuada. So you've decided to join us..."
"Shut it, Farore," Nasuada spoke to Sahara. She lunged and struck the goddess in the stomach. However, Din, possessing Sora, lashed out with a fire whip, striking the sorcerress across the back. Nayru chanted and moisture lingering in the air collected with moisture from the ground and washed Nasuada away. It then collected itself into the form of a staff, solidifying into ice.
Nasuada jumped back, wiping blood from her lip from where the wave hit her. She watched as Farore brought out a sword made from a plant. Bringing her hands together, she chanted dark, cursed words. Her hands glowed with a black power.
Yusuke's eyes widened. "Get down!" he cried, pushing Hiei, who knocked into Kurama and Kuwabara, knocking them to the ground. Kaonashi instinctively ducked. A huge wave of dark power washed over the entire landscape. It burned like fire and singed their clothes, however, their current position prevented any real damage other than a few minor burns.
As for the Goddesses, they remained untouched. Farore finished a barrier chant and opened her eyes. Nasuada growled in frustration. "I see your powers have not failed you, even if it has been over a thousand years."
"And yours have weakened considerably," Din stated.
Nasuada drew a glowing black sword. "I still have enough power to kill you cursed sisters at the same time!" she cried out, lunging at them again. The Goddesses scattered, jumping away. Nasuada swung at Din, who blocked with her firey whip, then caught the sorceress in the jaw. Nasuada went flying back.
She landed on the ground and lunged at Nayru, who blocked with her staff. She summoned a few icicles and threw them at Nasuada, "Ice Torpedoes!" Nasuada smirked, stopping where she was, and held out a hand. The icicles stopped, redirected themselves, then lunged back at Nayru. Shock crossed her face and she jumped out of the way, but not before getting her arm sliced by the dangerous, icy spears.
Nasuada turned to see Farore swinging her sword down upon her, and blocked, then sent a punch to the goddess' face. Farore blocked with her hand, and her sword caught Nasuada's hip. Farore was pushed back by the evil witch just as Din came back with her whip, catching Nasuada on the leg. The sorceress cried out as the fire burned her leg, and growled, sending black magic travelling up the whip. Din was shocked by black lightning.
Farore jumped in, striking Nasuada, making the lightning redirect itself into the ground. Nayru stuck her staff into Nasuada's back, making her cry out and lash at her. Nasuada knocked the Goddess to the ground.
:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:
The gang stood back up and watched the battle taking place before them. Neither side, good or evil, would give up. Yusuke turned to Kaonashi.
"How do you know so much about this stuff?"
Kaonashi grinned sheepishly. "I kinda majored in mythology in college."
"You went to college! You look like you're in your last year of high school!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"Hey, I'm nearly 300 years old. Spirit World University helps a lot," the spirit responded. Yusuke nodded sagelike.
They turned back to the fight. The ground beneathe the fighters was cracking, and molten lava was beginning to spew forth. Kuwabara's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. "HOLY SPIT!"
"This can't be good!" Yusuke exclaimed. The ground trembled beneathe them.
"They're gonna tear the world apart!" Kaonashi shouted above the roaring wind. They all tottered back and forth, trying to regain their balance against the shaking earth. "If this keeps up, the Goddesses' powers and the Sorceress' will destroy the land! It's too dangerous to stay here anymore!"
"Well, what do you propose we do, Sherlock?" Hiei asked, sarcastically.
"I say we help them out before we all die!" Kuwabara suggested.
"That's the first time in a while I've heard you say something smart," Yusuke marvelled.
"SHUT IT, URAMESHI!"
:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:
It would appear that the battle was tipping in the Goddesses favor. They were overwhelming Nasuada, and were going in for the finishing blow. The ground around them shook from the force of their battle.
However, an internal battle was being fought as well.
Kitsune opened her eyes. Darkness surrounded her. There was nothing. No Yusuke. No Kuwabara. No Kurama, or Hiei, or Kaonashi. No Sora and Sahara. No Chelsey. Just darkness. Vast space.
"Where am I?" she asked to herself. She was kneeling down on what seemed to be marble floor. Cold marble floor.
She looked around her. Darkness. Darkness. Darkness. It seemed she was swimming in a black sea. She shivered. "It's so cold..." she whispered. The faint tap of satin sandals against marble filled her ears. The sound was getting closer. The outline of a person was on the edge of her view. She skid back a bit in fear. "Who are you?"
A black-haired girl came into view, with violet eyes. She was around 18 years old, and wore a schoolgirl's outfit. Kitsune's eyes widened. "That's... me..." The girl disappeared and was replaced with a long white serpent. A dragon with a silver colored mane and golden eyes. "It's me again..."
The next thing the abbyss showed her was her human mother, her step-father, her two brothers, Nick and Aaron, and her cousin, Kain. Then came the gand: Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama. Lastly, she saw Kaonashi, Sora, and Sahara.
"These are my memories... Where the heck am I?" she asked. Her head was spinning.
"Kitsune? Kitsune are you there?"
"What?"
"Kitsune?"
"Sora? Sahara?"
The demon and vampress came out of the darkness. They sat down beside her. "Where are we?" Sora asked, looking around.
"I don't know... I think... I think we're inside our heads..." Sahara said.
"So that's why it's so empty in here..." Kitsune commented.
"empty in here... in here... here..."
Kitsune grinned, "Hey, it echoed! ECHO!"
"Echo... echo... echo..."
"Kitsune, will you knock it off!" Sahara scolded. Kitsune hung her head.
"Sorry..."
"Do you remember anything that happened?" Sora asked.
"Uh... I remember that I'd gotten pretty hurt, and we were swallowed into darkness... Then I heard voices calling out to me. So I followed the voices, and the next thing I knew, I was laying here, feeling better than ever." Kitsune told them.
"Do you feel that?"
"It feels like my power is draining."
"Exactly. I think we're being possessed. We've been shoved into the deepest parts of our minds. These Trinity Goddesses obviously hold a grudge against this Nasuada bitch."
"Sahara, profanity!"
"Sorry, Sora... Anyways, they picked us to be their avatars."
"Does that mean we're special?"
Sahara commented, "You are special, Kits..."
"That's not nice..."
"I'm not nice. Deal with it."
"Then... what's this doing to us?"
"I think it may be destroying our bodies... from the inside out. It's weakening us considerably, because they are of a higher power than us. It's taking a bad toll on our bodies, and the more time they spend inside us, the less time we have to live," Sahara said.
"So, what do we do?"
"Well, Kitsune will probably just reincarnate again because of her little curse, but me and Sora would be sent to Spirit World."
"But then we won't get a chance to help the Human World! What if Chelsey returns and destroys us all!"
"Sora."
"Yes, Kitsune?"
"Calm down."
"Okay."
Sahara stood up, as did Sora. "This is hurting us more than we like. We have to find a way to take control again. We'll see you later Kitsune... hopefully..." Both faded away, and darkness resumed its domination. Kitsune sat down, bringing her knees to her chest and encircling them with her arms. She did feel weak now. Nayru was inside of her, doing battle with a deranged sorceress possessing Chelsey.
"What a pickle I'm in now..."
:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:
Yusuke listened as Kaonashi explained the problems going on inside of the girls. His eyes narrowed. "Then they'll die if this keeps up..."
"Yes..."
"We have to do whatever it takes to help them defeat Chelsey... I mean Nasuada... I mean... uh...NEVERMIND! We gotta help them kill that damn evil bitch so we can all go home!" Yusuke said in rage.
The others nodded. And so it was decided. They rushed out to help. Nasuada/Chelsey struck out at Nayru/Kitsune and was about to deal a fatal blow. Yusuke aimed his finger. "SPIRIT GUN!" The blue energy blasted Nasuada/Chelsey back. The evil sorceress/corpse growled in rage, and slashed at him with her sword. Yusuke dodged, and watched as Kurama lashed out with his rosewhip, catching the dark blade and swiping it out of Nasuada/Chelsey's hands.
She sent a dark wave crashing towards the other two goddesses, who put up a shield to block the attack. Farore/Sahara struck Nasuada/Chelsey with her plant-sword, cutting the sorceress/dead girl.
Hiei revved up an attack. "DRAGON OF THE--"
"Hiei, DON'T!" Kurama called out, knocking himself into the sorceress/corpse while she was distracted. He talked between blows. "You already used that attack twice! You'll...gh...exhaust all of your spirit energy!" He jumped, and disappeared in midair, being replaced by Kuwabara, who'd drawn his Spirit Sword, and brought it down on Nasuada/Chelsey.
Hiei sighed, rubbing the dragon tattoo while it still throbbed. Kurama was right. He had a limited amount of energy now that he'd used the Dark Dragon not only once, but twice when he was unconscious fighting Darius. Instead, he growled dangerously, and drew his sword.
He lunged out, and, catching Nasuada/Chelsey off-guard, sliced the evil being in half down the middle. Except for the glowing black pendant she wore, which stayed connected...
Hiei turned after landing. "What the?" The evil being merely regenerated herself, and smirked. She lunged out at Hiei, who was knocked to the side by Din/Sora. She whipped the fire whip and caught the woman on the leg, knocking her over. Grabbing the handle with both hands, the whip split in two, and Din/Sora whipped it above her head, bringing it down on Nasuada/Chelsey.
The evil woman rolled to the side, then jumped up, kicking out her leg and catching the goddess in the jaw. The fire whip disappeared, and Din/Sora went flying back. Nasuada/Chelsey walked up to her, only to be headbutted by Yusuke. The two got into a punching competition, and were faster than lightning. It was so fast, no one but the demons could see it. (which means Kuwabara couldn't see)
Finally, both landed a punch to the other's face at the same time, making them both fly back from each other, and crash into inanimate objects, such as, say, boulders, the remains of a house. That type of thing.
Kurama helped Yusuke up, and they both watched as Kaonashi brought his fists together, summoning up the two black and white boulders to go crashing into the sorceress/dead girl, shouting, "TWIN MOON SMASH!" After that, he brought his hands together, and shot a blast from them. He rushed at the fallen woman and grabbed her by the neck, lifting her into the air, where she hung suspended from his grasp.
Nasuada/Chelsey coughed for air, then smirked. One hand travelled to his arm, then became transparent, and she made her hand travel up through his arm, to his body and to where his heart rested. "So handsome... makes me wanna just eat your heart out... In fact, maybe I will..."
Kaonashi's eyes widened in shock. He felt her hand clench at his heart, and he let her go, jumping away from her. He put a hand to his heart, feeling the blood draining from him.
'Only one way to fix this...' he thought, clenching his eyes shut. He gathered up the rest of his energy, and became engulfed in shadow. His body shapeshifted and grew. His body was now fully black, about the size of a small house, and where his face should be was a Noh Mask.
"HOLY COW!" Yusuke and Kuwabara screamed in shock at more-or-less the same time.
"This is my other form," the creature said. "My name is NoFace."
"Woah, mi nombre es Yusuke..." Yusuke said, still shocked. He shrugged it off and charged at Nasuada/Chelsey, but she blocked his attack with some kind of a dark shield. Another black sword appeared in her hand, and she swung it at Yusuke, who blocked with his energy. He jumped back a couple feet and panted for breath.
"That took a lot of energy out of me..." He brought his fists up in a fighting pose. "But I'm ready for another go."
"You foolish human," Nasuada/Chelsey said, smirking, "I'll kill you and your friends!"
"Bring it on, you decomposing bitch!" he yelled, as she charged him. Nasuada/Chelsey brought the sword up and swung it down. Yusule closed his eyes, preparing to die. 'This is how it's gonna end, huh?'
But the attack never came.
He looked up to see NoFace standing in front of him. He looked around his massive bulk to see Nasuada/Chelsey's sword stuck in his stomach. Black blood oozed from the wound. Nasuada/Chelsey growled, yanking back the sword and jumping back. NoFace flinched from the pain, and growled in frustration.
"You alright?" Yusuke asked.
NoFace looked back and nodded.
"I owe ya one, man," Yusuke said, and dashed off. Kurama stepped forward, swinging his rosewhip up and over his head, and bringing it down on Nasuada/Chelsey, who dodged and blocked with her Darkness Shield. Yusuke and Hiei watched as Kuwabara joined the battle. However, they were no match for Nasuada/Chelsey.
"Damn, this girl has to have a weakness," Yusuke said. Hiei turned to him.
"Do you realize how long we've been here?" he asked the other boy.
Yusuke turned to him. "Whaddaya mean?"
"Check your... what kind of watch? Digital?"
Yusuke looked at the small thing on his wrist. It read Tuesday the 27th. It was nearly three weeks from when he'd answered Chelsey's EMail.
Yusuke's eyes nearly bulged out of his head. "WHAT! How can this be! We've only been here for around a day and a half!"
"Aparently, there's a time spell that has made time move faster than it seems. We have a limited amount of time to stop this curse, Urameshi."
"Yeah, but how are we gonna stop it? This girl's got no weakness, and if we die, we submit the rest of the world to her wrath!" Yusuke shouted. The wind had picked up again, and stopped the battle for a small amount of time so that everyone could regain their composure.
"Yusuke, I've been feeling the energy draining out from us. We have to kill her, once and for all." Hiei said to him. Then he jumped off to her Kurama and Kuwabara. Yusuke stood there for a minute, trying to remember the past events. Was that what the curse was? The curse from when they'd first come? Was it that time would speed up while they were here?
Then that meant... their time was almost up!
Jumping up, he rushed to help his friends.
:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:
Meanwhile, with the goddesses...
Nayru, Din, and Farore stood in a circle. "It appears that our avatars are not as strong as we'd come to believe. They cannot hold us forever. Their powers and their strength and health conditions are diminishing," Din said. Nayru held her stomach, indicating the presence of Kitsune inside her. Farore nodded.
Nayru spoke up, "If we do not finish this battle, we will destroy our hosts. That's three less lives in the world. We cannot allow that."
Farore nodded. "Yes, but we must first dispose of Nasuada, lest we let her wreak havoc upon the Four Worlds."
"I can feel the gril inside me trying to fight for control," Nayru said.
"As do we," Din said.
"Shall we confront them and tell them to wait?"
"Aye, it would be wise."
The three goddesses joined hands and delved deep into the minds of their avatars.
:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:--:
'Kitsune.'
'Sahara.'
'Sora.'
The three girls looked up and glanced around, trying to figure out the source of the noise. "What was that?" Kitsune asked.
The three friends sat down on the ground of their minds in a circle. They were trying to figure out a way out. However, the good thing about being trapped within their own minds was that it gave them time to recoop their strength and energy.
They were busy concentrating on regaining control of their own actions, which was becoming increasingly difficult thanks to the goddesses possessing their bodies.
The three goddesses stepped out of the shadows. The girls looked at them. The goddesses looked at them tenderly.
"Do not fight the bonds that hold you, girls," Din, the Goddess of Fire told them. "They are for your protection. You all hold unsurpassed power. Power that was needed to summon us."
"But we didn't want to summon you," Sahara complained, "Well, we wanted help, but we didn't want to be stuck in our minds while someone else fought the battles for us."
"We understand this," Nayru, Goddess of Water and Ice, said, "However, we sensed that Nasuada would return to gain control once again. We could not allow this. It was fate that we, the guardians of the Earth chose you three as our partners. And it was fate, cursed fate as it may be, that Nasuada chose Chelsey as her avatar."
"You call us partners?" Kitsune asked. "In what way are we partners? We share bodies, for now, but we do not work together. We are the hosts, and you are the parasites, living off of us."
Sora gasped in shock. "Kitsune, they're Goddesses!"
"I could really care less if they were Lord Enma himself. It wouldn't change my opinion."
The goddesses smiled. "You speak bravely, little one."
"Shouldn't I be calling you that? After all, I'm 5000 years old. You are only 1000 years apiece," Kitsune said, crossing her arms.
"Call us what you will, but we have a request for you three," Farore said, "Do not fight us. Our mere presence is weakening your bodies considerably. Unless we defeat Nasuada, your bodies will fail."
"We figured that out, already," Sora stated. "How do we stop it?"
"You must lend us some of your power. We must lock her away, inside her pendant. That is the only way that she can be defeated. After that, we will leave, and you'll resume your battle with Chelsey McCann." Nayru said.
"Okay, how do we lend you power?" Sora asked.
"Tap into your Spirit and draw out some of it's essence. When you return, give it to us" The goddesses started fading away. "We will use your power to send Nasuada to her rightful place. Then we will leave before your energy disappates. Good luck..."
The goddesses were gone. Sora, Sahara, and Kitsune stared at each other for a while before discussing quietly what to do.
"Tap into our Spirit... does that mean going deeper into our mind than we are now?"
"Apparently so..."
"Do you think we'll come out of this alive?"
"I hope so, Sora. I hope so..."
Well, there's chapter 19. Tune in for chapter 20. I dedicate this chapter to Sora, who's in Florida, and to Sahara, who's in Pensylvania. My two best friends, who I would give an arm and a leg apiece for. Atra gülai un ilian taught ono un atra ono waíse sköliro frá rauthr. May lucka dn happiness follow you and may you be shielded from misfortune.
Here's the spoiler for chapter 20. Spoiler go!
The girls must delve deeper into their own mind than ever before, while their bodies are slowly failing them. Can Yusuke and the gang delay Nasuada long enough for the girls to pull themselves together? Will they escaped from the Goddesses' control? And will they find a way to stop Chelsey once and for all? All that and more, next time on YuYuHakusho: Chain Letter!
