The Twin White Shadow Dragons: Descent into Wonderland
The temperature in the Mirror Castle plummeted as a sudden, frigid gust of wind swept through the hall. High above on a jagged balcony of glass, two figures appeared—distinctly different, yet bound by a shared, lethal aura.
"A dream built on the corpse of a spider," a cold, melodic voice drifted down. Sesshomaru stood with his back to the moonlight, his fur sash, the Mokomoko-sama, flowing like a cloud. "How utterly pathetic."
"Heh, speak for yourself, Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha leaped from the railing, crashing onto the polished floor between Sakura and Natsu. He adjusted his Fire Rat robe and rested the massive Tessaiga on his shoulder. "I don’t care who’s dead or who’s claiming the night. You’re stinking up the place, lady."
A Clash of Wills
Kaguya’s eyes narrowed, her grip tightening on the Five-Pendant Mirror. "The dog-brothers... even here, your interference persists. Do you not realize that Naraku’s death has freed me? I am no longer bound by the petty schemes of half-demons."
"You talk too much," Inuyasha growled, his golden eyes flashing. "You’re just another illusionist trying to mess with people's heads. Sakura, Haru—get back! This scent... it’s the same as the dark priestesses back home."
Sesshomaru descended then, not by jumping, but by gliding through the air as if the laws of gravity were merely a suggestion. He landed silently, ignoring everyone but the sorceress.
"Kaguya," Sesshomaru said, his voice a low hum of impending violence. "You claim to know true wishes. Then you should know that a lord has no need for a dream provided by a mirror. My path is my own."
The Convergence of Power
The air in the room began to vibrate as five different types of power surged at once:
Natsu’s Dragnneel’s roaring dragon flames.
Sakura’s shimmering Star magic.
Haru’s Holy Rave energy.
Inuyasha’s raw, demonic wind.
Sesshomaru’s oppressive, pale blue spiritual pressure.
"The mirror..." Sakura noticed, pointing her wand. "It’s cracking! The more we refuse her 'wish,' the weaker the castle becomes!"
"Then let's give her a real wake-up call!" Inuyasha yelled, gripped his sword with both hands. The blade began to pulse with a wild, scarred energy. "Wind Scar!"
"Fire Dragon’s Roar!" Natsu bellowed, exhaling a torrent of fire that spiraled around Inuyasha’s golden wind.
The Shattering Dream
The combined attack slammed into Kaguya’s celestial barrier. The Princess of the Heavens shrieked as the pentcap mirror began to spiderweb with fractures.
"Impossible! The dream is eternal!" she cried, her form flickering between a beautiful maiden and a hollow specter.
Haru stepped forward, his Decaforce Sword glowing white. "A dream you force on people is just a prison, Kaguya. We're breaking out."
Sesshomaru didn't join the combined shout; he simply unsheathed Bakusaiga. With a single, casual flick of his wrist, a streak of pale energy cut through the very fabric of the Mirror Castle.
"The night is over," Sesshomaru declared.
As the glass walls began to shatter into stardust, the "book" they were trapped in began to dissolve, the light of a real morning finally bleeding through the cracks of the eternal night.
