Mizuni Naritai: I Want to Become the Water
War on My World
Final Chapter: This Goodbye is Forever; But I Really Wanted to See You Again
"Alright, lady, bring it on!" Chihiro yelled. She was seriously not in a mode to fight, but she did want to vent out her anger on someone-who just happened to be Maleficent.
"Lady? I am Maleficent! You will pay for your insolence!" The witch said. Her staff appeared in a puff of green and purple. Chihiro got her scythe ready.
"You're wrong, you're the one who will pay! Because of you, all of my siblings are dead! And as long as I'm able and standing, you will be too!" Chihiro said. Maleficent heard the anger in her voice. The evil witch knew that Chihiro wasn't playing around. Because of her observation, Maleficent transformed into her dragon form.
Chihiro charged, but Maleficent blew a stream of fire at her to make her back off. She jumped instead, and swung at Maleficent's neck. However, Maleficent saw the move and snapped at her, her jaws catching onto Chihiro's arm. She didn't cry out, much to Maleficent's surprise, but she did do something clever.(However, Chihiro got the ideas from T.V shows, but you could never tell)
She stuck the scythe in-between her jaws and pulled it up so the scythe separated the two lines of sharp teeth from each other. She immediately took her blood-covered arm out and retrieved the scythe. Chihiro got an idea. She ran close to Maleficent's belly. She tried to snap at Chihiro, but her neck wouldn't go in that far.
As soon as Chihiro was about to swing at Maleficent's stomach, a line of flames made her jump back so she wouldn't get scorched. Maleficent rammed forward, and snapped at her again. Chihiro stuck the scythe on top of her snout, making her fall back and roar in pain. Then she jumped on Maleficent's back and took the scythe out.
Maleficent craned her neck and blew another gust of fire. Chihiro could've sworn she heard someone yell 'FIRE IN THE HOLE!' but she didn't know anyone nearby that could've yelled it. After all, she told her comrades to stay in that room! What part of that order could they not understand? It seemed, to her, that she picked a bunch of rebellious people as an army. Which was probably bad because most of them couldn't follow orders to save their lives.With that distraction in mind(she sarcastically thanked her army later), the fire made her bounce off of Maleficent's back and crashed onto the floor.
"Whoops, sorry!" She heard someone shout. Her head instantly shot up. Great, just great! They were all here! Every single one of them! What a bunch of people, really! She gave them one of the best(well, worst I guess) death glares in history. They all felt like they were dying, and fell really bad for going against her orders.
"Why are you guys here?" She demanded. Everyone pointed to Demyx, who laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head while he looked around.
"Well, you see, funny story, actually..."He said. Chihiro felt like taking a brick and smashing him over the head with it.
"Once I defeat Maleficent, tell me, or else!" She growled. Everyone blinked. Violent Chihiro! That was a surprise to those who only knew her kind-hearted and sweet side.
"O-Okay...Just don't kill me!" Demyx wailed, clutching his head as if he were in pain.
"Demyx, stop being a baby." Larxene said as she gave him a good clockin' across the head.
"I just might kill you, Demyx! You're such a nuisance to my army already!" She said as Maleficent shot towards her, but Chihiro gracefully flipped on her back. She craned her neck to get a better look at the only Princess of Gate, and hissed at her. Maleficent's tail swept over her back, and Chihiro jumped when it did. But she got an idea when the tail came around again. This time she jumped, and impaled the scythe in her tail. This caused Maleficent to writhe in agony.
She made her tail wave around crazily so the scythe would come out. It did, but Chihiro was able to summon it in her hands again. Then she ran towards the dragon's head, ready to slice off her horns. However, Maleficent blew a gust of smoke(she was out of flame momentarily) and Chihiro tumbled back. Her hands were behind her back, and they were really uncomfortable. She got up and tried to pull the scythe(it was still in her hands which was why they were behind her back in the first place) in front of her.
However, it seemed to be stuck in something. She looked behind her. It was stuck in Maleficent's back. Out of spite she dug it deeper. Maleficent roared in pain, and started to jump, in order to shake Chihiro off. She just held onto the scythe like she'd never let go, and Maleficent never realized it, but jumping actually made it go in deeper. While she was jumping, Chihiro flipped over the scythe so she was standing in front of it and it was no longer uncomfortable.
After Maleficent stopped jumping, she tried another tactic to get the scythe out of her. She spun around. Chihiro's gang were crying because the sight was so funny. It was like seeing a large, supposedly powerful and superior dragon do the dance Jump on It. In fact, as if on cue, Demyx started to play Jump on It on his sitar and started to sing(no one, surprisingly, minded it this time), and everyone sang along, even Chihiro.
This made the scythe make a circle in Maleficent's back, a deep circle of skin popping out. It was disgusting, and blood splurged all over both of them. Completely revolting, although extremely painful to the enemy. A large chunk of Maleficent's skin plopped onto the skin, and made a noise like a wet sponge being squeezed. The blood seeped all over the floor.
"Ew! That's so disgusting!" Zoey shouted. Koji looked at her in disbelief, in fact, almsot everyone who saw the nasty attack she performed earlier did.
"Are you kidding? This is cake compared to how you butchered up those two poor Organization members." Koji said, shocked. Demyx stopped playing Jump on It, and everyone stopped singing because Maleficent stopped 'dancing'. Then, Chihiro jumped back and latched the tip of the scythe under her flesh that was unprotected. She pushed it all the way in.
"This is for Leona!" She shouted. Maleficent turned around and blew a great big blast of fire. However, Chihiro just dug in deeper when the pain hit her like someone pelting a basketball at her. Maleficent roared, then sent another wind of flames at her, which blew her back a bit, and the scythe got dragged across the fresh wound, deepening it even more. Then, Maleficent made a bad move. She transformed back into her human self, thinking that the scythe would get out of her and she would be fully healed. She was fully healed, but the scythe was not where she thought it would be.
It was an exact imitation of Leona. The scythe was protruding through her chest. Maleficent whipped around and smacked Chihiro with her staff, sending her back and causing the scythe's handle to knock into her forehead, causing a very minor headache. Everyone was in disbelief. What killed Leona couldn't kill her! Chihiro stood up, and looked at the stained red scythe. Why wasn't she dead?
"Why aren't you dead?" Chihiro demanded, voicing everyone's thought. Maleficent laughed as evil as her namesake.
"Because I'm already dead. The only way you can kill me is if you chop off my head." Maleficent said. Chihiro glared at her.
"You know, I'm thinking you shouldn't have told me that! I'll make sure you are limbless before I kill you! I'll make your death as painful as possible!" Chihiro yelled. Maleficent laughed again.
"I'll squash those dreams of yours, little girl." Maleficent said. Chihiro glared at her.
"I'm not 'little girl'! It's CHIHIRO, Princess of Gate! Don't you ever forget it!" Chihiro yelled. They all looked at her in surprise. They never seen the 'steamed up' side of Chihiro before. No one. Yeah, they saw the angry Chihiro before, but this was different. The Connection Wing wasn't giving her any power to be extra-angry. It was just human emotion, now. No other superpower or anything like that. She charged towards Maleficent, who held up her staff. She hooked her scythe and brought it up so that the staff went flying.
Maleficent held out her hand and the staff reappeared in her hand. Before it did, though, Chihiro took a clean slice at her hand. Everyone was in further awe. Chihiro was so violent! The thing was probably either anger which could make you act that way, or a simple adrenaline rush. Either way, Chihiro was acting more violent than she normally was, but it was ok to be mad at some times.
The staff reappeared, but with no hand to hold it, it dropped to the floor with a clang. Maleficent gasped, and looked at her hand with a 'Oh-no-you-didn't' look on her face. She pointed at Chihiro accusingly with her other hand.
"You will die!" Maleficent said. Chihiro smirked. Whoa, wait a minute, rewind there for a moment. Did Chihiro just smirk? Even people who didn't know her very well knew she wasn't good at showing arrogance, but it looked like she was a pro.
"I thought you said you couldn't die, so I guessed you didn't care." Said Chihiro, twirling her scythe, which made her get another idea. 'No...I'm not going to ask my comrades for help. I want to prove to them I'm a suit leader even throughout all the deaths that have befallen us. I will show Maleficent who the real little girl is! I may be, in age, but she'll beg for mercy so much under me that...' Chihiro stopped for a moment. That what? 'No, I guess I should just kill her. Even though killing her is still revenge, two wrongs don't make a right. Gah, I hate that saying! I hate guilt!'
But, Chihiro, if no one had guilt, we would all be dead by now. Everyone would be killed by the other. Guilt is the only thing, besides sanity, that really protects our souls from others. Reasoned her inner self. Chihiro sighed. Why is it that her conscious was always right? She hated that!
"Didn't care? Who are you to judge my feelings?" Maleficent snapped. They all cheered. Finally, Chihiro taking a stand! This would be a highlight for years to come. They couldn't believe she was becoming independent! (When I say 'they' I mean Chihiro's gang of course)
"I suspect that's a rhetorical question, because I could ask you the same exact thing." Chihiro replied smartly. Maleficent growled as she summoned her staff in her other hand. Her cut off arm was hidden by her long sleeves, so you couldn't tell she no longer had a right hand, unless you looked at the floor where it was still twitching involuntary.
"Why you little-!" Maleficent said, conjuring up pools of darkness in the floor. One was right under Chihiro. The said girl looked down. Before she could get out of the pool under her, the pool turned lighter and a large stream of darkness shot up, making her fly in the air. Maleficent then threw orbs of darkness at her, throwing her against a wall.
"Chihiro! You alright?" Haku immediately came by her side. She pushed the scythe to the ground, and using it as a support beam, got up.
"I don't want your help. I'm sorry, but I need to prove something to myself." Chihiro said, looking straight at him. Haku froze. Then he realized something. It wasn't her being more violent, or anything like that. It was just that she had grown up. If it weren't for that violence, she could be dead Chihiro was simply maturing. Haku flashed her a smile.
"I know you'll win." He said, squeezing her hand in reassurance before taking his place at the sidelines with the rest of her army. Chihiro smiled at his back, then looked to Maleficent.
"Yeah, I know I will too." She said, rubbing her arm which felt like she strained a muscle there or something painful like that. Then she swung it around to stretch it out. She felt a pain suddenly hit her. In fact, she was so busy deciding what was hurting that she didn't notice another dark pool slowly slipping under her. Then she noticed it out of the corner of her eye. She didn't even have enough time to jump, she just plunged her scythe into the ground.
'What the heck am I doing? What kind of reflex is that? Wow, my reflexes suck. Well, I already knew that when I smacked into the wall in the Spirit World.' Thought Chihiro, laughing a bit when she remembered she just rammed into the wall. So, she thought, whenever someone throws a brick at me, I'll just smack the ground and duck? Real nice reaction. However, she noticed it went away. She wore a confused look, but didn't question anything as she looked over at the enemy. Maleficent wore a blank expression as another pool slid over to our heroine.
The lightbulb went off inside her head. She got an idea. She raced across the space between her enemy and herself, covering it in record time. The pool followed her. It started to get lighter, which meant it was about to explode. She jumped over Maleficent, then back-flipped over her and ran. Just as she suspected, it exploded under Maleficent.
The witch didn't see that coming. A scream seemed to erupt along with the wave of darkness. 'Serves you right. Weren't even paying attention! Haven't you ever heard of keeping your eye on her enemy?' Thought Chihiro, careful not to speak those thoughts. When the wave came back down, Maleficent didn't come back up. Chihiro went over to her, with a confused look. Maleficent looked dead. But her eyes were closed. Weren't people who just died's eyes supposed to be...?
Open. Exactly. Maleficent's eyes shot open, scaring Chihiro so much she screamed and dropped her scythe.
"OH MY KAMI!" She shrieked, picking her weapon up. Haku, and practically everyone else glared at Demyx. Demyx shrugged and gave them an innocent look.
"What?" He asked, looking as sweet as sugar. Larxene smacked him across the head.
"Where do you think she got that from?" Larxene asked. Demyx shrugged again.
"I'm just a good role model! Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!" He said, winking at them. Chihiro's gang anime fell.
"Just keep telling yourself that, Demyx..."Koji said, trying to swat away the sweatdrop that made it's home on his head. Haku sighed.
"She was getting to be so mature, too..." Haku said. So much for all that responsible stuff. Demyx ruined it! When this was all over, Haku was going to wring his neck. (Then everyone else would, because Demyx was so unbelievably annoying)
"Ha! I do not go down easily, little girl." Maleficent said, standing up. Chihiro growled once again, and grasped her scythe so tight that her knuckles turned white.
"What did I tell you? It's Chihiro, not little girl!" Chihiro yelled. She rushed forward, Maleficent put her staff up in guard position, but Chihiro jumped up(she had learned acrobatics one day, and was glad for it) and brought down the tip of her scythe right onto Maleficent's head. "Since you said it yourself," She said, spinning around so the scythe got lose, "Your head needs to come off in order to be dead!" When she made a full complete circle she went around again, slicing Maleficent's head off clean because she held out the scythe.
"Wow, Chihiro! The second time you decapitated someone! So violent!" Demyx said, and clapped. Chihiro glared daggers at him. How did he know...? She then looked to Haku, who was taking cover behind Balmung. Chihiro sighed. Of course, an annoying person like Demyx would get information out of anyone if he just got out his sitar and started singing 'Happy Days'. That alone could burst anyone's eardrums.
"It's called maturing, Demyx! Not being violent!" Haku argued. Demyx sighed.
"Whatever, whatever. Now that the old hag is gone, let's finish this up, guys!" Demyx said. Everyone nodded, and started walking towards the only room they hadn't opened. It was time to finish this.
-
"Congratulations on making it this far. However, all of your attempts will go down in vain in the end. I will be the true victor." Said the person atop the flight of stairs. You see, they were standing on a clear level, then ten or so stairs, a platform, ten or stairs, another platform, fifteen or so stairs, another platform, twenty or so stairs, yet another platform, thirty or so stairs then the final platform, which the mysterious speaker was standing on.
The speaker was so high up, shadows were covering his face. You could tell it was a 'he' because of the masculine-sounding voice.
"Gray! Stop with your stupid riddles and get the heck down here!" Chihiro shouted. Gray came down the steps of stairs, as soon as his face was revealed...
"Oh. My. God." They all said.(except Laura and Daryl and those who did not know Carmaine) Their jaws went so far down that they went through the Earth.
"No one told me Gray looked like that! I thought he would be more...Gray." Chihiro said. Laura sighed. They all looked at her like if she didn't explain they'd murder her in cold blood. Which they would, actually. So, Laura took a deep breath and explained.
"You see, Gray isn't actually a person. Neither are all the Styxians, which is why they wanted to get their hands on Gate. Well, it would be better to say-um, I don't know how to say it. It's kind of complicated-" Laura said.
"I think it would be better if I told you." Gray said. Gray looked like a white-haired silver-eyed version of Carmaine(which was what had stunned them so). "You see, I am a Styxian, but not exactly one. The Styx world was the actually 'twin' of the planet Earth. Although there are many worlds, they share the same 'Earth' or mother planet. Styx is the twin to those many planets. You see, the Styx world was created as a copy of other things. Merely fake, if you please. So, I was 'born' as an alternate 'version' of your older brother. Let's just say this: I'm a clone of your older brother, except much older. In fact, they knew what your brother looked like even before your mother was born." Gray said.
"How?" Chihiro asked. No one seemed to get it. It was all confusing!
"Intuition." Gray simply said, pointing to his head.
"ESP?" Chihiro asked. Gray nodded.
"A type." He said, then came down the stairs until he was a platform higher than them.
"Hey, could you explain that again? I kinda didn't get it." Demyx said. Larxene smacked him across the head for the umpteenth time.
"Demyx, you don't get anything." Larxene said. Demyx looked at her.
"But, Lar-Lar, this time it's really confusing!" He said. Larxene smacked him again.
"Don't call me that." She said simply. Demyx sighed. Would he get any recognition for anything? "No." Larxene said, seemingly reading his thought. Demyx sighed once more. Nevermind.
"I am a copy of Chihiro's brother." Gray said. Demyx's mouth was an 'o'.
"That makes a lot more sense! But...I still don't get it! You're old!" Demyx yelled. They all anime sweatdropped. Demyx was like a brick wall. Nothing went in, and nothing went out. The only time you could get through was if you beat him up real good, and he would scream his head off before that happened.
"You know what, you don't really need to know why," Gray said, then cleared his throat. "This information isn't necessary for the battle." He said. Zoey and the Digimon Gang immediately transformed into their most powerful forms. Haku went into his dragon form, and other people who had more powerful transformations did those transformations.
"Ok, everyone, full frontal assault! You guys," Chihiro pointed to a couple of weak people, "Back up everyone else, while you guys," Chihiro pointed to an extremely weak group people, "Heal the injured people and call me when there's a serious injury. Alright, everyone?" Chihiro asked. None of them mistrusted her judgement. They all put their hands in a circle.
"One, two, three-FOR THE WORLDS!" They all shouted, and started doing their assigned things. While everyone was attacking Gray, Chihiro stood behind them, observing his fighting style. Well, she didn't observe much, because he wasn't attacking. He would disappear whenever someone attacked, then reappeared, and disappeared again. (He disappeared quite a lot, you could only see a fragment of him each time)
Soon, after ten minutes, they all fell back and stopped attacking. Gray reappeared, with a sword in one hand, and another larger sword in the other.
"Now it's my turn." He said, as everyone guarded, he rushed forward and took two crescent-shaped swipes with his swords. Someone fell back as they got hit. It was Inuyasha. The weak people immediately ran to heal him.
"Hey, Gray..."Inuyasha said, mustering up all the energy he had left, "I looked all through this castle and I couldn't find Sesshoumaru. Where is he and his lackeys?" He asked.
"I sent him back to his own world. You're missing your brother?" Gray asked, a smirk playing on his face. Inuyasha glared at him.
"Hell no! What makes you think that?" Inuyasha asked, and growled. Kikyo ran by him.
"Inuyasha, you were asking where he was. That could be taken as a type of concern for him. Because you were thinking about him, it means that you at least gave him some thought." Kikyo said. Inuyasha huffed.
"Whatever. He could go and get himself killed for all I care." Inuyasha said, crossing his arms. Kikyo smiled, one of the first smiles she actually smiled since she was resurrected.
"Just because you say that means you do care. You are so contrary, Inuyasha." Kikyo replied. Inuyasha glared at her, but it held no threat.
"No, I don't care!" He argued. Gray sighed.
"Now that's finished, anymore questions before we continue?" Gray asked, looking around. No one had any questions in their minds, and they were prepared. "Alright, then, let's finish this." He said. Chihiro watched as all her friends attacked, and Gray disappeared. She caught that, right before he disappeared, he tapped his arm. 'He must have some kind of button on there.' She thought, and watched as he tapped his arm again and he disappeared once more, avoiding all the attacks. She got an idea, and ran over to Kikyo and CorruptFlurrymon.
"Kikyo, CorruptFlurrymon, I've got an idea for both of you. Because of your manipulation over wind, CorruptFlurrymon, makes you an excellent partner to anybody. Especially Kikyo, who can let loose a string of arrows. Anyways, I have a plan for the both of you. Here it is..." Chihiro said, and told them something. They both nodded. CorruptFlurrmon got down like she was going to run a race. She nodded to Kikyo, who nodded also.
"Stand back, everyone!" CorruptFlurrymon yelled. Everyone cleared out to the side. Gray held up his swords in a guard position. He could tell with his 'intuition' that both females were going to do some combination attack. Kikyo let loose a string of arrows, one after the other, non-stop until her quiver ran out. While she was doing that, CorruptFlurrymon was controlling the wind to make the arrows hit one spot-Gray's arm.
With the speed of the wind and so many arrows, Gray couldn't disappear from them all. One of them hit his arm, and a little spark of electricity went through, and he couldn't disappear anymore.
"Larxene, use thunder to make sure it doesn't boost back up again!" Chihiro shouted, and Larxene nodded and held her kunai to the sky.
"Thunder, form and attack the enemy!"(Don't own that line)Larxene shouted, and thunder zipped down towards Gray and hit his arm, damaging it further. Chihiro pointed towards him.
"Everybody, send concentrated attacks, one after the other, NOW!" She yelled. It was a pandemonium of slashes and cuts and everything of the like. Gray had his hands full just guarding. Then, Chihiro called over CorruptFlurrymon. "CorruptFlurrymon, do the One, Two, Three on Gray. You know what I'm talking about, right? Except, do a slight variation. Make it start from the back instead of the front." Chihiro said. CorruptFlurrymon nodded, and flew over to Gray.
"'Kay guys, have your weapons pointed out!" CorruptFlurrymon shouted. Gray looked behind him, and saw the spirit of wind behind him.
"What are you going to do to me?" He asked. She flashed a smile at him and held a peace sign. Everyone raised their weapons towards Gray, wondering what the digimon would do.
"You'll see. One..." She said, and raised her heel and brought it down on Gray's back, making him double over in pain. She did a handstand on his doubled-over back and shouted, "Two..." Then, when she flipped over, she kicked his back in the process and shouted, "Three!" this made him fly towards the weapons.
They all struck through him, but he lifted up his head and laughed. "You think you can kill me that easily?" Gray asked menacingly, his swords appearing in his hands as he slashed two people who fell down. Then he did a 180-degree spin with his swords out, so he slashed everyone who fell(the healers and back-ups had hard time dealing with everyone) and then was facing CorruptFlurrymon. "And you, Miss Butterfly, I think you are a hindrance to my plan. So, Miss Butterfly, you are the one who will be graced with the honor of death at my hands first."
CorruptFlurrymon gulped. But, she wouldn't go out without a fight! "Alright! Bring it on!" She said, waving her hands towards her in a 'come on, give me what you got!' motion. Gray smiled.
"You know, it's too bad you'll have to die. Unless, of course, you want to join up with me and be my Queen. You are quite pretty." Gray said. Everyone stared at him. Disgusting!
"Ew! That's the most nastiest thing I've ever heard! I'd never hang around you! Besides, I'm already in love! Nothing you could do could ever change that!" CorruptFlurrymon yelled, taking out her fans.
"Too bad." Gray said indifferently as he shrugged. He got his swords ready and charged. When he slashed, she jumped up and did a handstand on his shoulders, numbly dodging the attack. However, he stabbed her arms and made her fell down, but she brought her leg around to bring Gray's legs out from under him, tripping him and making him fall. She floated away to the rest of the gang.
"Kikyo, CorruptFlurrymon, we'll take on Gray while the rest are healing, ok?" Chihiro said. The said females nodded. Haku looked at them. He had an injury too, but it was across his face and a bit more minor than the others.
"I will help you fight. I think I'm able." Haku said. Chihiro nodded. Demyx took out his sitar.
"Hey, and here's some water replicas for ya to hold him off! Dance, water, dance!" Demyx shouted, playing a little note as twenty water Demyx-replicas appeared, standing beside Chihiro, CorruptFlurrymon, Kikyo and Haku.
"Alright, guys, I have a plan!" She said, and whispered to them. They all nodded. The water replicas merged together and made a giant puddle on the ground. Chihiro looked at it, and shook her head. "Demyx, we need more water!" Demyx sighed.
"How much do you need?" He asked. Haku looked at him. "Ok, ok, nevermind!" He said, and got up and took out his sitar. For lots of water he couldn't make replicas. He started to play a couple of notes. "Can you feel the beat?" Water shot up all over the place. It was like they were in a water park. There were streams of water everywhere. Chihiro nodded.
"Thanks, Demyx!" She said. Demyx nodded, and continued to play so the water would continue to be there. She nodded to Haku, who disappeared. Gray looked around.
"Mizuni Naritai, too!" He said. Chihiro laughed. Since she lived in Japan, she could understand what he said. In fact, she understood a lot of languages.
"You're such a kid! I thought you were all serious and what-not, but I guess that all goes down the drain now, right?" Chihiro asked. Gray scowled. Suddenly, all the water in the room concentrated on Gray. Demyx looked surprised, and stopped playing.
"Haku's got control of the water now, so I guess I'm not needed anymore." He said, sitting down. Larxene sighed and rubbed her temples. What did she do to ever deserve an annoying partner like him? Gray got all wet and stuff, and Larxene looked up in surprise.
"Sorry if it's not apart of your plan, but I've got to do this! THUNDER!" Larxene shouted, a bolt of thunder racing towards Gray and electrocuting him, making it twice as painful because water is a good conductor of electricity. Chihiro shook her head.
"No, I'm glad you did that. Larxene, come here! Change of plans!" She said. "Now, HAku, I know you can here me, so I won't worry about you. Here's the new plan..." Chihiro told them of the plan. They all nodded, except Haku who you couldn't see anyways. Another big blast of water drenched Gray beyond belief. Larxene held a kunai to the sky.
"THUNDER!" She shouted, as Kikyo let loose a string of arrows. The thunder zapped the arrows, and CorruptFlurrymon made them move faster. With the speeding, electrifying sharp-pointed arrows heading towards a soaked Gray, he stood no chance. The arrows hit him which made another zap of electricity go through-out his body. In fact, his silver hair turned black along with his clothes. The sight was so funny they couldn't help but laugh.
"You DARE mock me?" Gray roared. "You will all DIE when I get through with you! Every last one of you!" Everyone got up, and Chihiro turned around and nodded.
"It's time to finish this, once and for all!" She said. "Everyone, CHARGE!" She yelled. They all charged. Plus, with Gray all wet it was an added bonus for some people. However, for others it didn't magnify their powers. Whatever the case, they all saw the outcome: They would win. "No! I can't lose to a bunch of-" Gray was about to finish the rest of his sentence when Chihiro walked up to him.
"Everyone, clear out to the sides, please." She said. They did so. Chihiro took the collar of his shirt and lead him ALL the way up. Gray was struggling and slicing at her, but she then took her scythe and used that to drag him along instead. At the top, Chihiro smiled. She was going to enjoy this. Gray was standing in front of the long, long, painful path to the lower floor. "CorruptFlurrymon, you don't mind if I use Butterfly's flip, do you?" She yelled. She saw CorruptFlurrymon shake her head. "Thanks!"
Chihiro spun around Gray and struck her foot under his chin, and did a Butterfly's flip. This action knocked him down the four flights of stairs. Along the trip they heard disgusting stuff, like body parts snapping, dislocating and everything. When Gray reached the bottom, multiple people stabbed their weapons into him, making sure he was dead. They did it! They won!
"'Kay guys, this calls for a celebration!" Chihiro shouted joyously. They all agreed. She made a portal to her homeworld, Earth, and stepped through it, the others eagerly following.
-
"Wow, Chihiro! Is this your house?" Haku asked, looking around. They were in an unbelievably HUGE mansion. Chihiro shook her head.
"It's an abandoned mansion in the middle of a forest. Don't worry, no one lives here. And, I brought plenty of stuff from my house! I just told my mom that I was having a party and she let me raid her closet. That's why I was gone for a while, but, now, let's have a PARTY! Time to celebrate!" Chihiro shouted, getting out an old and rusty table and some bowls and poured food in it. They all started to talk and chat and have a great time.
After an hour or so, Chihiro hooked up a karaoke device(she found an old plasma screen television lying around somewhere, apparently whoever last had this mansion was loaded) and plugged in two microphones. She tapped it, it worked.
"Okay guys, time for some karaoke! I'll be up first, ok!" She said. The plasma screen was on this big stage like-thing. It was obviously the old owner's theater. "Now, I'll sing here, and you guys can dance out there. Sound good?" Cheers were her answer. "Ok, now, my first song!"
"Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't...
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
If I could
Just hold you
Tonight." She looked back at the crowd, who smiled and clapped. "Ok, who's next? Duets are welcomed!" She yelled. Zoey stepped up to the microphone, and winked at her. Chihiro gave her a thumbs-up sign in return.
"I'm going to sing 'Everytime We Touch', everyone!" Zoey shouted. She turned to Chihiro. "Can you sing backup?" Chihiro nodded as she grabbed the second microphone. Koji walked up to Chihiro and whispered something in Chihiro's ear. She nodded, and the microphone to him. Zoey stared at him. "But, Koji, guys don't sing in this song!"
He smirked. "As far as you know, Zoey. You'll be surprised. Maybe, maybe not. But go ahead and sing and don't mind me." He said. Zoey stared at him, and, cautiously, started to sing.
"I still hear your voice,
When you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch,
in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness,
But I don't know why,
Without you it's hard to survive
'Cause every time we touch,
I get this feeling
And every time we kiss,
I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast?
I want this to last, Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch,
I feel the static
And every time we kiss,
I reach for the sky,
Can't you hear my heart beat slow
I can't let you go,
Want you in my life." As the music played, Koji began to sing. (His lyrics appeared on the Karaoke machine, even though they were few)
"Oh yeah? You wanna rock?" The music picked up a lot as he said these words. They were few lyrics, that's true, but it made Zoey smiled as she sand the rest of the song. She and him danced throughout the rest of the song, and they could see everyone else dancing, too.
"Your arms are my castle,
Your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry
The good and the bad times,
We've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall..
'Cause every time we touch,
I get this feeling
And every time we kiss,
I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last,
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch,
I feel the static,
And every time we kiss,
I reach for the sky,
Can't you hear my heart beat slow?
I can't let you go,
Want you in my life." Koji's short lines began again.
"Oh, yeah? You wanna rock?"
"'Cause every time we touch,
I get this feeling
And every time we kiss,
I swear I could fly,
Can't you feel my heart beat fast,
I want this to last,
Need you by my side." Zoey sang, then the music picked up as Koji sang his 'Oh Yeah? You wanna rock?' one more time. Everyone clapped as they finished dancing. Chihiro grabbed the mike.
"Ok, who's next?"She asked. Larxene ran up and grabbed the microphone.
"Zoey, want to sing back-up?" She asked her little sister, who nodded and grabbed the second mike. "We're singing Hung Up, so get ready!"
"Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
No time to hesitate
Those who run seem to have all the fun
I'm caught up
I don't know what to do
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
Time goes by so slowly
I don't know what to do
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your callBaby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Ring, ring, ring goes the telephone
The lights are on but there's no-one home
Tick tick tock it's a quarter to two
And I'm done
I'm hanging up on you
I can't keep on waiting for you
I know that you're still hesitating
Don't cry for me
'cause I'll find my way
you'll wake up one day
but it'll be too late
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Every little thing (Zoey: Every little thing)
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call (Zoey: Waiting for your call)I'm fed up
I'm tired of waiting on you
Time goes by, so slowly.
Time goes by, so slowly.
Time goes by, so slowly.
Time goes by, so slowly.
So slowly, so slowly, so slowly.
I don't know what to do.
Every little thing that you say or do
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you
Waiting for your call
Baby night and day
I'm fed up

Every little thing (Zoey: Every Little Thing)
I'm hung up
I'm hung up on you.
Waiting for your call (Zoey: Waiting for your call)
I'm fed up I'm tired of waiting on you." They finished with a fade-out until a clock ticking, andeveryone clapped. Soon, everyone else got the courage to sing, and they all sung the night away.

"Ok, guys. Goodbye! I'm sure I'll see you all again!" Chihiro shouted. She had opened up the portals to the worlds, and everyone was about to step through them. They had exchanged countless ways to contact each other, such as telephone numbers, screen names and whatever else.Eventually, the only people left were Balmung, Haku and Chihiro.
Chihiro closed up all the portals. "I'll always be able to open them up again. Balmung, what will you do?" She asked. Balmung shrugged.
"I'm a Sky God so I'll protect the sky or whatever I'm supposed to do as a God." He said. Haku coughed.
"Actually, right now, you're a sky spirit." He said. Balmung looked at him.
"There's a difference?" He asked. Haku nodded, and crossed his arms behind his back.
"A big one."He said informatively. Balmung raised an eyebrow, but shook his head.
"Chihiro, I'm going to go up to Gate with you. You know, to introduce myself. And...to make sure it's ok to wait until we can revive Leona." Balmung said. Chihiro nodded, then turned to Haku.
"Haku, I want you to introduce you to my parents! Come with us!" She begged. Haku sighed. She was using that angelic face again! How could he resist?
"Alright, Chihiro. Fine." He said. Chihiro giggled happily, and turned towards the sky. She thought of Gate, and only Gate. An ethereal-looking portal appeared. She smiled at them.
"Let's go, guys!" She said, and the three stepped through the portal.
Home. What a wonderful place to be.
