I only own my OC, Taylor, I do not own Tess, Carmelita, Tsao, or any of the Kubo and the Two Strings characters.

Taylor and Tess rose up from the ground and saw Tsao. He was fighting Carmelita, but then she notices Taylor, and got out of the way. He notices Taylor and says, "Ah, Taylor Fearbrave, the one who had caused a lot of trouble for the Moon King."

Taylor glared and said, "You think I can't defeat you, I thought you have lost all your dignity when Sly Cooper tricked you when he saved your bride from a bad marriage."

"Well, I underestimated the cunning ways of the Cooper family, but I doubt I will be defeated by you, for you're a woman, you don't know up from down," Tsao said.

Taylor was really mad, and said, "Oh now you're going to get it, it's time this woman to teach you some manners!"

Tsao soon said, "Ha! I doubt that, for you will learn to respect of the ancient black arts of the family Tsao!" Taylor and Tsao soon duke it out, while Tsao tries to attack Taylor with dragons, and cutting her with his shield, Taylor eventually defeated him, he soon said, "I can't believe it! Defeated by a woman! It is an outrage! I feel dishonored!"

"Seems I really humiliated you, now tell me where is the safe that the Moon King holds the documents?" Taylor asked.

Tsao groans, and said, "It is in the village graveyard, but it won't matter, since you can't get into it, even if you defeat the Moon King!" He then laughs just as Kubo soon lands back at the village.

Kubo soon looks around at what was once his village, took off the banners and asked Taylor, "What I missed?"

"I defeated Tsao," Taylor replied, showing Kubo a chicken who was cuffed by Carmelita, then said, "Keep him there, Carmelita, he still has stuff he needs to share." Carmelita nodded, and then both Taylor and Kubo looked at the bell, which is the helmet, and begin pushing the destroyed tower. The tower gave way, and the two ran off to avoid the debris. Kubo then took off his shamisen and went to get the helmet.

After digging, he found it, then someone asked, "Kubo? Is that you?"

Taylor and Kubo looked and saw Kameyo, and the rest of the surviving villagers. Kubo soon said, "You all have to leave this place. The Moon King, he's coming," everyone exclaims by the warning, and begin heading to the trees.

Taylor soon said, "Head for the forest," she soon looked at her friends and said, "Go with them, and take Tsao with you as well." Tess and Carmelita nodded, and joined the villagers who ran into the forest, with Carmelita holding Tsao.

Kubo then puts on the Helmet Invulnerable, which caused him to glow a bit, unsheathes the sword, while Taylor readied her staff, and he calls, "Grandfather!" He puts both hands on the sword, and said, "It's me, Kubo!"

"And me, Taylor Fearbrave!" Taylor announces.

They look at the moon, then turned, and said, "We know you can see us!"

"Hello, grandson and Taylor," said a familiar voice, they turned and saw what the Moon King really was, as he said, "So good to see you two at last," he then chuckles, and said, "So to speak."

"Raiden, so you're the Moon King, I should've known," Taylor said.

"Yes, Taylor," the Moon King, or Raiden said, looked to them, and said, "You have caused such a problem, after know now that General Tsao really was humiliated by you, but I thought maybe the member before me would have defeated you as well."

"Sounds like you underestimated me, Raiden," Taylor said, then said, "But unlike Aggie, who was just angry and sad for what happened to her that she forgot the good memories, you and the past members are the worst ones, and now you and I have a score to settle for my brother, Shadow."

"Oh, we will fight soon enough," Raiden looks while smiling at Kubo, who picked up a rock, and Raiden said, "Anyway, I see you found the armor, grandson. Seems your mother had a reason to bring you to this dreadful place after all," he soon goes to approach Taylor and Kubo, who throws the rock at his grandfather with a grunt. Raiden soon catches it, looks at it, and said, "I see," he then crushes the rock.

"I know you do," Kubo said, in a battle stance, as he said, "That's how this all began. You finally saw me," he then felt a bit sad, and said, "It was my fault. I should've listened to my parents."

Raiden soon shook his head, and said, "Kubo, we both want the exact same thing."

"You want to take my other eye. That's what you want!" Kubo said.

"Well, yes," Raiden replied, then asked, "But do you know why I want it?"

"Because you're old, and mean, and cruel," Kubo replied.

Raiden soon said, "Oh, now, that's a little harsh. As long as you cling to that silly, useless eye, you can't come up to live with me," he then looks up, and said, "In the heavens." He walks around the two, as he continued, "You'll be stuck down here in this heck, staring with that lonely eye at hate and heartache and suffering and death." He stopped, and took deep breathes, then said, "Where I want to take you, we have none of those things. It'll just be you with your family. Where you belong."

"My family is gone," Kubo said, pointing the sword at Raiden, while saying, "You killed them."

Raiden said, "No..." He was mad, and said while moving the sword, "They brought their fates upon themselves! They disgraced me and upset the order of everything!"

Kubo was surprised a bit, but then moves the sword to Raiden, and said, "That's how your story goes."

Raiden inhales, and calmed himself down, then said, "Oh, Kubo... When you're up there with me, you will be beyond stories. You will be immortal. You will be," pauses, laughs, and said, "infinite."

"No. You're wrong, not infinite. All stories have an end," Kubo said.

"Is that right?" Raiden asked, paused, then asked, "And how does this story end?"

Kubo stances, and said, "We kill you."

"And I will be one step ever closer to avenging my brother," Taylor said.

Raiden soon said, "Oh. Very well. Is this your wish, to do battle with a hideous monster who ruined your lives, to prove your worth like your doomed father, Kubo, and your unconscious brother, Taylor?"

Taylor glared, and replied, "Yes!"
