Chapter 19

Legendary Battle

Danzo and Team Crimson had now arrived in what looked like a room, there ahead of them was the statue of Madara sitting on his throne. They walked slowly towards it as Danzo now had the Sato equipped on his person. They were now staring face to face with the being of pure evil, sitting upon his throne. Now was the time to end this fight.

"Again, I must face a Sato. Strange fate. Isn't it?" Madara said.

"Strange and ironic that it will end the same way," Danzo replied.

"Yeah, Your days of treating us like puppets will come to end!" agreed Homura.

"Irony has favored you this time," Madara chuckled.

"Why's that!?" snapped Mirai.

"Look carefully," Madara answered her.

Everyone turned to see Tina being held prisoner by Madara. Danzo was shocked and enraged to see her held against her own will.

"Tina!" cried Danzo.

"How dare you!" shouted Homura.

"You're evil ways sicken me!" agreed Hikage, her emotions now running wild.

"Don't even think about it. Blink, she dies," Madara said gloating at his prey.

"You bastard!" roared Danzo, but he was struck by three beams of light that burned into his flesh.

Madara attempted to strike at Team Crimson, but they quickly jumped back.

"Danzo!" cried Tina, as she saw that he was in agony.

"Fools! So sad that humans will always be humans, no more. Has the Sato blood been spoiled over the ages? Now die!" Madara laughed maniacally as he fired a beam of white light from his third eye.

Tina broke free from her bonds and quickly rushed to Danzo. She pushed him aside as the killing blow meant for him struck her head on.

"Tina!" cried Danzo.

He watched helplessly as Tina fell backwards and landed with a thud on the cold stone floor. Team Crimson was now shocked at what they saw as Danzo slowly stood up and ran to her side.

"Tina! NO!" Danzo screamed.

"You god damn FUCK!" added Mirai.

"Useless scum… Failure is one thing but taking an odd behavior like that… What is the matter? It is time to end your pitiful life now," Madara declared darkly.

This was the final straw for Danzo who's eyes began glowing bright red, as the energy beam bounced harmlessly off of him and slammed into a wall of the throne room. Everyone could see that Danzo was now truly angry at Tina's killer as his body radiated with Crimson light.

"How much longer are you going to keep zapping? Come out and show yourself, MADARA!" Danzo shouted.

Team Crimson raced to Tina's side and began to see if they could help her.

"Homura, you and Team Crimson stay here. Madara is mine!" Danzo said.

"Okay, go give that fuck one from us!" Homura replied.

Danzo nodded, as Madara's statue began to crumble. With a mighty roar, Madara stood up, and revealed his true form to Danzo. He then began transporting himself and Danzo into space.

"Those eyes… deep in them i see the same light as in Sato's eyes," Madara said with curiousity

"Why my mother!?" Danzo demanded.

"That useless being? If you need a mother, I can create as many as you want. Just like, I created Tina," Madara said mockingly at him.

"SILENCE!" Danzo screamed.

Madara soon unfurled his angelic wings and took to the sky, as Danzo leapt up into the sky above after him. He soon felt the power that had lain dormant, awakening within him. The Power of Sato, had at last been unleashed by his hand. Danzo now truly looked more like his father as he assumed a similar form that he saw Akira in.

On the yacht, Fubuki clutched at her head and dropped to her knees screaming.

"What's wrong?" Senko asked.

"Danzo has awakened the true power of Sato within his blood," she said, while clutching at her head.

Gekko looked at the castle that was slowly coming into view.

"Then this battle has now begun," she said, placing her hands infront of her chest.

Danzo and Madara were now locked in a heated battle. Danzo charged directly at the emperor of the youma, and slammed into him in his dragonic form. Madara screamed in unrelenting pain as Danzo began firing energy blasts at him to prepare for another strike against him. Dodging the lightning bolts, he saw Madara attacking him furiously but he evaded the attacks with careful maneuverability. Every laser beam fired at him was evaded almost instantly, but Danzo didn't care. He knew that Revenge would soon be in his grasp. At last he charged again. But this time Madara stopped him with two laser beams that slammed into him.

"Enough of this!" Madara shouted, and sent a meteor shower right at Danzo.

Danzo braced himself for the attack, and landed on the ground hard. The power he still had in him was still strong, as he shrugged off the attack like it was nothing. Finally, Madara descended towards him. It was time for the battle to end.

"You separated me from my family for the last time Madara!" Danzo shouted.

He sent powerful blade beams from his sword that severely wounded Madara, but he saw that he was still desperate in the battle. Danzo destroyed the orbs that sent projectiles at him, and still maintained his assault on the youma emperor. Madara was now growing even more overconfident in his abilities as Danzo struck him again and again with his sword and fire arms. Huge lava dragons emerged from nearby and tried to kill him, but Danzo struck them down as he readied his shotgun, revenant. He fired burst after burst at his foes, not even thinking about anything but revenge. Madara tried to retaliate but Danzo had enough as he unleashed a deadly combo he learned from his time at Hebijo, the forbidden crimson wave. The attack hit Madara so hard that he screamed in unrelenting pain and agony. Danzo looked as he floated away, then quickly turned and fled back to his friends who were now with Tina's deceased form.

"Danzo!" they said to him.

But he slowly staggered towards the woman that resembled his mother.

Mirai tried to approach him, but Yomi gently placed her hand on her shoulder as if to say she didn't want to ruin this moment. They saw Danzo slowly pick Tina up in his arms, and hold her close to him.

"My mother risked her life for me, and now you too. I should have saved you. I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with light!" Danzo cried out.

His tears fell down his cheeks and landed on Tina's motionless face. Team Crimson also huddled around Danzo as he gently laid Tina down, and placed his amulet on her.

"This was my mother's and now I'm giving it to you," he said.

He then pulled out the Sato, and set it near her.

"My father's also here now. Rest… in Peace," he added solemnly, as he felt Team Crimson hug him, their eyes filled with fresh tears for Tina's sacrifice.

"We barely even knew her," Mirai said somberly.

The rest of Team Crimson also nodded.

"I'm sorry, Danzo. But we have to leave before this place collapses around us," Yomi said sadly.
