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

Raiden glares at Taylor and Kubo, and said, "How mortal." He then looked encased with skin, which moved back and forth, as if something was coming out, which was a creature that looked like a cross between a dragon, and a Dunkleosteus.

Taylor glares, and yells, "Bring it on, you Moon Beast!"

Both he and Kubo then screamed a war cry, charging at what Taylor called the Moon Beast. Taylor jumps and whacks him on the head with her staff, while Kubo kneels, and slides, while cutting him from under, causing him to roar in pain. They both panted, the Taylor yells, "Is that all you got?!"

They charged at him, but the Moon Beast soon flies up, then dives at them, while they jump at him, Taylor gives him another whack, while Kubo gives him a cut on the right eye, causing him to once again roar in pain and falls to the ground, they soon gasp, and try to avoid him, as he chased them, destroying the village more, the two avoid him, then Taylor gave him another whack, while Kubo cuts some arms off, causing another roar of pain, and blue blood to fall. The Moon Beast soon charges at them, which caused them to gasp, and brace themselves. Taylor still had her staff, but Kubo didn't have the sword. Kubo and Taylor ran to get the sword, which they got, but the Moon Beast catches them in his jaws, spits then into his tail, which acted like a claw, and chuckles as he has them in a grip.

The Moon Beast soon said, "You are a fool to fight me Taylor Fearbrave, for I am actually one of the most powerful members of the Nightmare Eight!" He then looks at Kubo, and asked, "You want to be human, like this fool Taylor?" He then takes the helmet off of Kubo, and said, "Then share their weakness!" He soon starts squeezing them, and said, "Suffer their humiliation!" Kubo felt a bit weak, the Moon Beast soon dropped him and Taylor, then said, "Feel their pain!" Taylor and Kubo got up, but the Moon Beast soon swipes them with his tail.

This swipe caused them to fly all the way to the graveyard. Taylor got up, so did Kubo, who was grabbed the sword, but saw the bracelets, took them off, thought, took off the breastplate, then put them on the shamisen.

The Moon Beast was soon laughing, while Kubo was doing that, then said once he reached them, "This is the end of both your stories." He then circles around them a bit, and said, "Now, Kubo, take one last look with that lonely eye, one last look at this wretched place you call home." During his talk, Taylor sees the villagers, her friends, and her prisoner looking at them.

Kubo then grabs one of his hairs, and said, "I'm not leaving," he then takes it to put it on the shamisen, while saying, "For every horrible thing down here, there's something far more beautiful. My mom saw it. So did my father. I see it. Even with just one eye."

The Moon Beast soon said while stopping to be in front of them, "Then I'll just have to rip it out of your head again, won't I?"

Kubo tunes the shamisen, and said, "If you must blink, do it now," he then strums the shamisen, and Taylor saw lamps light up, and Kubo said to the Moon Beast, "I know why you want my eye. Because without it, I can't look into the eyes of another and see their soul. Their love..."

"Everything you loved is gone!" the Moon Beast yells, and said, "Everything you knew has been taken from you!"

Kubo said, "No. It's in my memories. The most powerful kind of magic there is," he strums the shamisen again, the lamps soon turned into spirits of the departed from the village, and they soon head for Kubo and Taylor. The Moon Beast winces and grunts, as Kubo continues, "It makes us stronger than you'll ever be." Kameyo soon gasped, then went to Kubo, so did everyone else, even Taylor's friends, and her prisoner, forcefully, while Kubo said, "These are the memories of those we have loved and lost. And if we hold their stories deep in our hearts, then you will never take them away from us." Kubo then places a barrier around them, the Moon Beast shouts, and charges at them but couldn't break the barrier, then Kubo soon said, "And that really is the least of it."

The Moon Beast was surprised, as Kubo strums the shamisen, and the spirits attack the Moon Beast as he charges, causing a blinding light with him roaring in pain.

So, Taylor and Kubo fought the Moon King, who became a Moon Beast, which was defeated, but what was the outcome? Anyway, if you're reading this, thanks for reading.
