Waahh! My story is almost over!! 2 or 3 more chapters and then that's it!! (sobs) I can't believe it!!
Disclaimer: I do not own crescent moon.
Kori' POV
My head feels like it weighs a hundred pounds, and my whole body feels numb….am I dead?
I tried to move my arm, I heard the chink of a chain as I did. yep I'm alive, but I'm once again in my fathers clutches.
I slowly brought y hands to clutch my head but my eyes snapped open when they felt something thick and metallic clamped around my neck.
I was wearing a giant collar that wrapped around my neck so tight I was afraid it was attached permanently. I pulled at it desperately, only resulting in a chuckle from behind.
I whirled around to find myself staring at a very smug Blackwall…through bars I looked all around rapidly to find myself in a giant jail cell
"Like your cage brat?" Blackwall asked sneering, "You'll have to get used to it now won't you?"
"B-Blackwall!" I stuttered and tried to stand up, only to fall to my knees again, my head felt like it was spinning rapidly on the inside. A wave of nausea came over me and I threw up, whatever was injected into my arm before, It didn't agree with movement.
"Kori! Are you alright?!" I could hear Mahiru screaming, I turned slowly wiping my mouth. There were my friends, chained to the wall, completely helpless. Seishiru was still knocked out.
"W-what have you done.." I asked Blackwall, an angry and terrified look on her face.
"Well, I had a feeling sooner or later you'd get the idiotic idea of sneaking in here, trying to sabotage Takoro's organization. What a lucky surprise you decided to do it tonight."
I felt my stomach churn in anger, how dare he? How dare he hurt my friends when it was only me he wanted.
I stood up, ignoring the nausea as I glared at him,
"Why?!"
"hmm?" Blackwall asked, looking quite pleased with himself. I looked back at Takimu who was absolutely furious.
"Why do you hate Kori so much?! What has she ever done to you to deserve such suffering and cruelty?!!" He screamed, his eyes looked wild, ready to kill Blackwall on the spot.
Blackwall stared at him then smirked, "That's simple boy….she existed."
Takimu growled and sneered at Blackwall, "If you think you're so strong then why did you have everyone chained?1 Unable to fight! You're nothing but a coward Blackwall!!!"
Blackwall frowned at that, "Watch your mouth brat, you're In no position to be calling names."
Regular POV
He snorted and turned towards Kori, who had her head down so her bangs covered her face.
"Fight me." He said.
"W-what?" Kori asked turning to look up at Blackwall.
"Fight me so I can prove you can't beat me…I'll show you how pathetic you truly are."
He pushed a button and the chains around Kori's legs and arms unlocked, but the collar stayed on.
Kori's heart began to speed up out of reflex. She walked out and stood in front of her long time enemy.
"Whaddya say runt?" Blackwall asked, smirking.
Kori didn't say anything, she paused for a moment then slowly got into a defensive stance.
"Alright." She said, her voice was worried, but it was determined as well.
Blackwall frowned, "What's that in your voice...corage?!" He spat and sneered at her, "Since when did you posses that feeling?"
Kori stared at him, unblinking, it didn't matter what he said anymore….she was stronger and she would win this time.
She tried to summon a fire ball but as she did the collar vibrated and next Kori knew her spine felt like it was on fire.
"Aaaagh!" She screamed in pain when the electric shock went straight down her back.
"Kori!" Akira shouted and struggled against the chains.
Blackwall laughed, "How do you like the collar? Whenever you try to use those monster powers of yours an electric discharge will be shot through you. It gets stronger every time too, so I wouldn't recommend using them if you want this battle to end."
Kori felt the collar around her neck, if she couldn't use her powers she wasn't much of a threat, Takimu had trained her in some martial arts to defend herself if this ever happened but…
"You truly are a coward Blackwall…" Kori muttered, glaring up at him.
Blackwall frowned, "I'm not an idiot, without your powers your practically helpless." He charged and punched her.
She managed to block it but the strength of it sent her flying into the wall.
I have no choice.. she thought.
She charged back at him and threw everything she had at him, she tried to kick him kin a pressure point but he blocked her at the last minute. She sweep kicked him but he only punched her in the ribs and sent her flying above him.
Takimu watched the battle go on, struggling against the chains, "He's right, without her powers…Kori will.."
"Takimu.." Misoka muttered.
Takimu turned to see Misoka's hand moving around, a small bit of his fox fire ward appeared and moved to were Takimu was chained.
"I think my fire is just strong enough to melt these….I'm going to set you free, help kori as much as you can."
Takimu stared then nodded, "Okay."
"Good luck little bro." Seishiru said, having woken up with Kori's scream.
Takimu waited until he could break through the melted chain and jumped down from the wall. Charging to were the battle was continuing, he used a sweep kick on Blackwall while kori kicked his face upwards.
"ARRRGH!" Blackwall shouted in pain with his now broken jaw.
He wildly looked around for what tripped him, he screamed in frustration when he saw Takimu smirking from below.
"How did you get out!!!" He used his giant fists to pound the ground where Takimu ad been moments before. Takimu flipped out of the way at the last minute and landed near an exhausted Kori.
"T-Takimu!" She exclaimed.
"Need some help?" Takimu asked grinning.
"y-yes!" kori replied
Takimu smiled then glared at Blackwall, "Taking Kori's powers away and using all of your strength on her? This was hardly a fair fight!"
He smirked but got into an attacking stance, "I'll help even the odds a bit."
Blackwall roared with rage and charged at both of them. Punches and kicks flew everywhere. While that was happening, Misoka continued to try and free everyone one at a time.
After receiving a kick in the ribs Blackwall was forced to look and see Misoka's fire, slowly but surely freeing Mitsuru.
"you.." He roared and charged, preparing to attack the fox and the others, most likely killing them.
"NO!" kori screamed as she jumped in front of him. He slammed his fist into her ribcage making her choke. She slammed into the wall somewhere near Nozomu.
"Kori!" Mahiru screamed.
"Bastard!" Takimu shouted and hit Blackwall in the back of his head with his boomerang.
Mahiru squirmed around in her chains, "Kori, talk to me please! Are you alright?!"
Kori spat some blood out of her mouth but nodded, "I-I'll be fine, I won't let him hurt any of you though…not again…"
With that he jumped back up again and ran back into battle.
It seemed like ages that they were fighting, both were getting tired, trying to find a way to finish this.
Finally, Takimu spotted the cage kori was in before, and a spare collar that (a/n as shocking as it is.) could fit Blackwall if needed.
"Kori!" He shouted, gesturing towards the cage, he tossed the collar at her and signaled for her to run at him. He put his hands in front of him as a sturdy platform until kori understood. Breaking out into a sprint, kori jumped of o Takimu's hands and flipped through he air.
In a split second she floated over Blackwall and clamped the collar over his neck.
"Now Takimu!" Takimu started to kick a raging and confused Blackwall in the back so he was forced to stumble forward. Kori did the same thing until he had been trapped like an animal in the cage. Kori slammed her fist on the button, making the chains wrap themselves and lock around Blackwall. He roared in fury and tried breaking out. Takimu pressed another button that made an electric shock go through the chains.
"AAAAAAHH!"
Kori watched as if in slow motion, Blackwall closed his eyes and fell backwards.
The beast had finally fallen.
Kori gulped and looked into the cage, Blackwall's chest heaved up and down. He was alive, just unconscious.
Misoka had finished getting everyone out, including himself and they all jumped down.
"Oh that was so scary…" Mahiru said shakily, hugging Mitsuru.
Seishiru, Misoka, Nozomu, and Akira ran up to the kids, asking the usual questions.
"You okay kiddo?" Seishiru asked his younger brother.
"Y-yeah…" Takimu said wiping some blood off of his grazed cheek.
"Hang on kori.." Misoka said as he melted the collar off of her. Just to make sure, kori created a quick fire ball.
She smiled as her powers immediately returned to her, "I'm okay."
Everyone gathered together, making sure everyone was alright to go on.
Once Seishiru had recalled where they were they set off again. The final battle was coming.
Kori ran through millions of hallways with the others, it seemed like an hour of running until she came to pair of large doors, labeled
Storage room.
"If Blackwall knew we were coming he probably tipped off your father…he's probably waiting for you right behind these doors…." Takimu started
Kori stared at the door knobs, everything that had happened during the past years ever since she was a child. All the suffering, pain and grief she went through….the man who caused it was only in the next room.
A mixed feeling of hate and anger came over. She clenched her hands into fists.
"I'm ready." With that she burst through he door and screamed.
"Takoro Itikashi!!!"
There, standing over a large pit of phoenix feathers, was a man with shoulder length black hair in a business suit. A relatively attractive man, a man with Kori's nose and mouth.
Her father.
He paused and turned to the source of the scream. He smirked.
"Hello Kori….dear daughter…"
Alright people! Final battle coming up next! Get ready! Sorry if this chapter kinda sucked, I'm not to good with fight scenes. (sweat drop.)
Himura: I don't even show up in this stupid story…but I guess you should read and review it if we ever want it to be finished.
