Cassandra, Naomi and Ruby 5 - The Grand Finale
#5 of CNR
"Krystal! NO!!!"
"Shadow must have a sacrifice of blood and bone."
Krystal closed her eyes, knowing death was imminent. She opened her eyes to see the figure recoiling in pain and suddenly dispersing. Fang was stood behind it wiping his sword off.
"You should really shut that ceiling door. Someone could fall down here and hurt themselves."
"Guards, kill him."
Fang stood in front of the tub with Krystal behind him. Slash after swipe after stab and another cult member fell to the ground. Two to the right fell as he kicked one on the left to the flames below.
"Screw it, kill the others."
Fang drew another sword from a bag on his back and threw it to Rouge. The pair were unstoppable and cut through everyone within minutes.
Miss B stood at the tub in anger, "My plans, no! Fine, even if I die, so will you."
She threw herself into the dark liquid. A thunderous quake set in until an eventual silence.
"Ha ha ha....I'm back."
A thunderous flash and all the ground above them crumbled and was launched into the air creating a crater. A figure stood where the tub was. It was Miss B but her eyes were filled with the dark liquid. She shivered and shook as she began to cry black tears.
"I am almost complete. I am here for one reason only. Defaeco immunda. Purify the unclean. All those creatures in far distant worlds. I see them. They create love, happiness and joy. Then another takes it from them. The pain they go through is unbearable. The pain they burden upon other's in criminal. I feel their pain and it kills me, burns at my soul. I will purge this reality of all and restart with a new race of pure people with no emotions and one purpose; life. To life shall be the only purpose."
"But that takes away all of the good emotions. What of love and happiness? Just because you have turned a blind eye to them doesn't mean they don't exist. We must take the good with the bad."
"But without good or bad then the choice would be there. People would be free, content."
"But our emotions bring us freedom and that freedom..."
"Enough talk, I have made up my mind. Now you shall all be purified."
Fang unsheathed Fatalis, his sword of the storms, and held it to his foe, "Not if I can help it."
Light burst from Fang's hands as he held them in front of him, "DRAGON BULLET!!!"
A beam of light shot from Fang's hands at such a speed no one saw it until it had hit Miss B. She flew backwards from the force.
"Well, that was easy..."
She pulled herself up and dusted herself off. A black liquid leaked from her hand, forming a huge dark flaming sword.
"Let's do this."
Fang and Miss B confronted each other. Each swing cut the winds and sent burst of energy outwards. Fang fought her back and until she parried and pushed him away. With a flip backwards he landed and revealed the true power of the sword.
"TORNADO SLASH!"
Fang began a combo with quick, wide sweeps. Winds of sonic speeds ripped towards Miss B, cutting her and pushing her back.
She stood at the very edge as she saw Fang jump into the sky, "RAGING DRAGON EARTHQUAKE!"
A sharp kick to the ground made the ground shake and crumble beneath Miss B's feet. The edge collapsed and she fell into the lava.
Fang sheaved his sword and began to walk back to the team, "Burn baby burn hey guys!"
The scene became dark and thunder cracked through the sky. Columns of fire and lava shot through the ground. The walls around them collapsed as the sky formed dark over them. A pitch black figure of Shadow floated before them. Slowly his eyes opened revealing the blood red glow of his mind.
"I thought I finished you. DRAGON BULLET!"
An unseen shield reflected the blast straight off. Shadow looked at Fang and a dark energy surrounded his body, squeezing the life out of him and flinging him back to his friends.
"Purity..."
The world quaked and dark winds swirled violently around them, cutting the flesh.
Rouge rushed up to Shadow and screamed above the winds, "SHADOW, I'M SORRY I HURT YOU! TAKE ME INSIDE OF THEM!"
She saw no response in his eyes, he was lifeless. He pushed her back with an evil force.
"You will now die for the sake of purity."
The other Sally rushed up to him, "But Master, don't I get to live with Krystal."
"No, you all must die for purity."
"But, I....I was promised."
He outstretched his hand and the group hit the floor. They held their throats for breath but could find one. A dark aura surrounded their bodies as they flopped on the floor like fish out of water.
Krystal and Sally held each other, "Kr....Krystal....I....lo.....love...you..."
They both gasped for air as Shadow raised his arms to the sky. The key in Krystal's pocket began to glow.
"However, only through great suffering and the true power of psychic faith may the sword fulfill its duty."
Irana's words echoed in her head. The key flew to Mina's arm and it slowly opened, revealing a glowing, curved sword.
"Fang....use the sword..."
Crawling to Mina, he grabbed the sword and stood up. The dark winds just pushed him down again.
"It needs a blue crystal...."
"Blue crystal?"
Fang fell into unconsciousness with Mina in his arms. Krystal pulled herself towards the blade. Past Renamon who held her hands to the sky, past Rouge who held her throat in panic, past Fox who clawed for Falco's hand who was unconscious and too far away for him to reach.
"Great suffering. Psychic faith. Blue Crystal."
Krystal's hand touched the sword.
"Blue Krystal."
She stood up. Time slowed at her will and the dark winds burned up before they touched her. She overlooked her friends who suffered in slowed time. She walked over to Sally and kissed her on the cheek before walking over to Shadow. Holy light burst from her eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. She was bathed in righteousness.
"You'll kill us both."
"Fine by me, as long as they live."
With a scream she dug the sword into Shadow's mid-section and cut him in two. The other Sally suddenly appeared and stood in between the two facing Krystal. She passionately kissed her, "You can't die yet. I love you..."
The explosion was huge, cutting the ground itself. The dark winds subsided.
"Krystal...I can see the sea Krystal..."
"You so did not!"
"I did!"
"Liar! Rubes you're too much of a tight ass."
"Cassy, you're the one who loves it in the mouth."
"Bite me bitch."
"Yeah."
"Shut up lesbo, you don't get a say."
"Not cool Ruby, I'm a bisexual. You're the only one here who's strictly men only!"
"Yeah."
"But anyway, shut up Naomi."
"Uuuurrrgghhh."
"Guys she's waking up!"
Another hospital? She opened her eyes slowly, getting used to the bright light and white walls.
"Mum?"
Cassandra, Naomi and Ruby sat diligently at the bedside with concerned looks on their faces.
"Where am I?"
"Hospital, you were beaten up quite bad."
"Where's other Mummy?"
"Right here."
Sally looked over to see Krystal standing in the door way with flowers, "Girls I want a moment here."
"See ya later Mum."
All three kissed her on the head and left. Krystal sat down beside Sally and placed the flowers on the side.
"How did you survive?"
"Well, you helped me."
"Really?"
"Not you, it was the other Sally?"
"Really?!?"
"Yeah, she stood in the way of the explosion."
"How are the others?"
"Good I guess. Rouge had broken her wing but she's better now. Renamon had broken her leg so she's in the other wards. Mina is staying with the Starfox team. Fox and Falco came out unharmed and are now celebrating like gays do. Fang and Minerva have returned to Mobius and I bet they're having a peaceful life now. And now, it's us two."
"What do you mean?"
Krystal whispered something into Sally's ear that made her giggle, "Okay but pull the curtain round first! Oi horny girl, the curtain!"
Renamon created a fashion and cuisine empire before passing it onto her successor, Miss S. Turned good; Miss S continued the business with great glee. Renamon retired and decided to spend the rest of her life with her Mistress. Rouge welcomed Renamon back as the two moved back to their old facility to spend the rest of their lives messing around or waiting for another vixen to crash land. Terra soon had a replica LGD body created and spent her life back in Urios city with her old position of Mistress. Fang and Mina visited once or twice but the two continued their lives together. To find out more about the two ask Chaos Lord. Fox and Falco continued their adventures together as friends and partners for life. Mina, on the other hand, met another rabbit. Seeing that their intellects matched each other and both were interest in engineering, her and Peppy Hare made a perfect couple even though being called "Cute" several times by the three girls became quite tedious. Cassandra decided that a normal life wasn't for her, so she became a rock star. After playing professional bass and sleeping with the leader singer, she is still milking her contract for every drops its worth and making her parents proud. Naomi knew that her talents in bed and her flexible sexuality made her perfect for the adult industry. After making it into the infamous ZZ Studios, her and Katie became a married couple and had fun whether the cameras were on or off. Ruby, although still as mischievous as her sisters, decided to make something of herself. She went to school, passed her exams and became a top account along side Amber. After the fall of the house, Amber was reunited with Henry (Lucas, her brother) and the two went to university together. They both lived in Urios as she became an accountant and he became an engineer. After the fall of the house, Hazel lost all her power. She decided that she was finished and became an adult film star. She isn't very well paid but it serves her right the mean bitch. With Shadow gone for good, 'The Skirmishers' fell apart and the members were spread throughout the universe. Most were arrest but all traces of the cult died and it was forgotten in history. Finally, Krystal and Sally spent the rest of their days together. They moved to the seaside like the other Sally's dream. A lifetime of walking on the beach, peace and quiet and its fair share of lesbian sex. What isn't there to like? Both died together in their sleep in each others arms with the sword above the mantle. Sanctimonia futurus hic.
