I am so sorry for the long delay. I really don't have any excuse, so I'll just have to ask you to forgive me and hope all my faithful readers are still reading this.
Anyhow, we're getting close to the end now. This chapter isn't all that great, but the action is soon to come, when the gang from Inuyasha and the Teen Titans team up to stop the villain's plans, and the battle of the century between Naraku and Slade begins!
Scene 15: The Rescue – Part 2
Robin and the others finally reached the end of the hallway and entered a room where their friends now lay in their induced nightmares.
"What's happening to them?" Draco asked worriedly.
"They look like they're all having terrible nightmares." Said Robin.
"Naraku must want to use them to taint the jewel shards." Inuyasha explained. "Let's get them out of here."
Suddenly, Kanna stepped out from the shadows. "I cannot allow you to do that." She said softly. "My master Naraku has commanded me to stay here, and ensure that nothing interferes."
"Not that creepy girl again!" Said Draco, still bitter from their last encounter.
"As long as she has that mirror, how are we supposed to attack?" Robin asked.
Draco glared at the girl, unsure how to defeat her, but then looked down at the ground beneath her feet. He smiled as an idea popped into his head.
"Here goes nothing!" He said, as he crouched down and placed his hands on the floor. They began to glow with fiery energy, and Draco concentrated towards Kanna. A stream of fiery energy appeared on the floor, leading right to Kanna's feet, where an explosion of fire erupted, knocking her down and shattering her mirror.
"Whoa, nice one!" Inuyasha cheered.
"I didn't know you could do that!" Said Robin.
"Neither did I," Draco replied. "Till now that is."
Kanna slowly rose to her feet again and stared back, no emotion in her eyes. "How is this possible?" She asked.
"One thing you gotta remember," Draco replied. "Is never mess with a dragon-kid when his girlfriend is in trouble!"
"Now leave," Said Sesshomaru, drawing Tokijin. "Before I finish what Draco started."
Kanna stared at them before vanishing into thin air.
"She gives me the creeps…" Said Robin. "And who did you mean by 'your girlfriend'?"
Draco sweat-dropped nervously. "Uh… I'll just explain later, let's just get the others out of here!"
Robin agreed, and he went to the computer console controlling the machine. It only took a couple minutes to hack into it and shut down the machine, and everyone grew calm and peaceful again before slowly waking up.
"Ooh… what happened?" Cyborg asked, rubbing his neck. "I just had the worst dream!"
"So did I," Said Sango. "It was awful."
Raven slowly sat up, and Draco walked up to her. "Draco!" She said happily, before jumping up and wrapping her arms around him. "You're alive!"
Draco returned the hug and smiled. "Of course I am. Dragons are excellent swimmers, remember?"
They continued to hug until they noticed everyone staring. They let go and chuckled nervously.
"Dude," Said Beastboy. "Am I missing something?"
"How did we get here?" Kagome asked. "Last thing I remember was being back at Titans Tower, and those robots attacked."
"Naraku was planning on using us to combine the jewel shards." Said Raven. "He hooked us up to that machine and subjected us to our darkest fears and memories."
"It's time we put a stop to Naraku, once and for all." Said Robin. "I have a plan. Kagome, you have sacred powers that can help you find and purify these shards, right?" Kagome nodded. "Then you, Starfire, Beastboy and Shippo will go find the shards and ensure Naraku doesn't recombine them to give him any power. Sango, Raven and Draco, you find a way out of the base and do as much damage to those towers as you can, they must be the generators powering everything."
The three nodded and Draco turned to Sesshomaru. "How about you give us a hand there?"
"Very well." Sesshomaru replied uninterestedly.
"Miroku, Cyborg, Inuyasha and I will look for Naraku." Robin continued. "Once we find him, we'll confront him and take him down."
"What do you know," Said Inuyasha. "That actually sounds like a good plan!"
"Thanks… I think. Alright, let's go!"
Everyone split up to do their appointed tasks.
Meanwhile, Naraku had been watching everything on a monitor. "Fools." He chuckled. "Their pathetic plan is destined to fail."
"Maybe so," Slade said, as his face suddenly appeared on the monitor. "But then, so is yours."
"Slade," Said Naraku, sounding unsurprised. "You've escaped."
"Did you really think that I couldn't escape my own prison, or that your pathetic underling could kill me? I'm disappointed Naraku."
"And just what do you plan next? Surely you don't hope to stand a chance against me?"
"I've faced stronger demons than you. I'm fully prepared for this battle. You should not have double-crossed me Naraku." Slade's face disappeared from the screen.
Naraku sat back and smiled beneath his baboon head.
"Now the real fun begins…"
