Hello, everyone! This is a new story and I hope everyone will enjoy this new story! Without further ado, let's start!
Normal POV
Yoh and the others were walking around the desert along the way to Dhoby Village when they encountered a strange sight.
" Huh? Is that someone sleeping over there?"
" No way! In this hot desert?!"
" Let's check it out. What if he actually fainted from this heat?"
" Yeah, you're right."
They ran over to the boy as they saw that he was actually sleeping.
" Are you serious?!"
" I don't know... I'll just shake him a little."
Yoh just tapped the boy's shoulder when a voice had shouted out from a distance.
" What are you doing?! Keep away from him!"
It was a brown haired boy that shouted. Suddenly, a rainbow like aura appeared around the boy as he started to stand.
" Hey..."
" Watch out!"
The brown haired boy grabbed the boy's hand and knocked him out.
" Aichi...!"
The boy started to open his eyes again as he saw the brown haired boy.
" Kai...?"
Aichi rubbed his eyes as he blinked and looked around.
" What the... When was there so many people?"
" H-Hello there..."
" Kai, what's going on here?"
" It's nothing... Come on. We should make our way to Dhoby Village."
" Oh, you two are heading to Dhoby Village too? Our friend, Rio, is trying to hitch a ride from his friend. The ride will be here soon, so let's go together." Yoh suggested
" Is that really alright?"
" Of course."
" Are you sure, Yoh? What if they are followers of Zeke?" Len ask
" Who's Zeke?" Aichi ask, tilting his head
" Huh? You mean you really don't know?"
" Of course not. I mean, this is the first time we heard of that name."
" Never mind then. Let's go. Billy's here."
" Okay."
Aichi stood up but then suddenly started to fall backwards as Kai quickly grabbed his hand and used his other hand to support his back.
" You okay?"
" Y-Yeah..."
Kai sighed as he slung Aichi's arm around his neck and carried him up.
" W-Wait a minute, Kai!"
" It'll be troublesome if you can't walk, so you should listen to me for once. So where's your friend?"
" Over there. Let's go."
Yoh and the others led Aichi and Kai to the van as Kai placed Aichi on the back before climbing in himself.
" You guys need help?"
" Nah, we've got this."
After getting a still depressed Rio on board, they set off to the next town.
" We haven't introduced ourselves yet, right? I'm Aichi Sendou and this is Toshiki Kai."
" Hmph."
" I'm Yoh Asakura. This is Len Tao but you can also call him Lenny!"
" I do not approve that!"
" And I'm Trey Racer! The other big guy is called Rio!"
" And these are our Guardian Spirits! Say 'hi', everyone!"
Their Spirits all appeared.
" Greetings, I am Amidamaru."
" I am Bason."
" This little girl is my Guardian Spirit, Corey!"
" And I am Tokagero."
" Yoh... Asakura... Len... Tao... Trey... Racer... Rio... Ami... Amida..."
" Come on. Don't tell me it's hard to pronounce their names." Kai stated
" It is actually... I'm sorry..."
" No, it's fine."
" So where were you guys headed to?"
" A nearby town. I was out to find some food and water when you guys came along."
" Oh, so that's why Aichi was asleep out there all alone?"
" Well... Yeah..."
Aichi was suddenly looking around as he moved to the back of the van.
" Aichi? What's wrong? Do you see something?"
" No, it's nothing... I guess I was just imagining things..."
" Imagining about what?"
" Well... Nothing..."
" Hey, don't waste your energy. Take this time to regain some energy so that you can walk once we're in the next town."
" Okay."
A few minutes after that, Aichi had fallen asleep on Kai's lap as he sighed.
" I didn't want to ask you this while he was awake but what happened back there? He was acting a little weird."
" Sorry about back there. He gets like that sometimes as a reflex. It's like a defence mechanism. Once he is touched by someone unfamiliar while he's asleep, it sort of happens and he sometimes ends up destroying stuff... I don't like it though... It's like he's some other person when that happens, so I try my best not to let it happen until you guys came along..."
" Sorry, we didn't know."
" No, it's fine. You guys didn't know either."
" So you're saying that he's a special Shaman with an ability that he can use unconsciously without the use of his Guardian Spirit?"
" I don't really think he'll like the word, 'special', but yes... He can use that ability without his Guardian Spirit and that's why he can potentially wreck havoc. I just hope this is the last time I have to knock him out again to wake him up."
" How did you guys meet?"
" It's a long story."
" I see."
" Hey, we're here."
They waved Billy off as they decided to walk around town for information.
" You alright?"
" Yes. I'm feeling much better now."
" Anyway, I'm hungry! Let's go grab a quick bite before we set out to find someone who knows where Dhoby Village is."
" Alright, but where?"
" I don't know either."
Aichi looked around again.
" Aichi? You've been acting strangely ever since the ride, what's wrong?"
" I don't know... I just somehow sense something scary and dark coming this way... But it's still far away so I'm not sure if I'm just imagining things..."
" Is it Zeke?"
" No... It doesn't feel human... And it's feels so familiar..."
Kai went silent before patting Aichi's head.
" You're imagining things."
" But..."
" Aichi, we have to go."
" Okay..."
Aichi went over to Kai's side as they started to walk.
" Something wrong, Len?"
" He's hiding something."
" Huh?"
" Kai. He's hiding something that even Aichi doesn't know of."
" Well, I think that much is a little obvious but... What? What's so important that Aichi should not know?"
" That... We might be able to find out if the thing that Aichi is sensing is closing in on us."
" Well, we'll see."
On the way, they met Joco and managed to defeat Ramiro, they set off with Joco as the addition to their team.
" So you're saying that you don't know where Dhoby Village is but you know the person who might know where it is?"
" Yeah. She goes by the name of 'Lee Lee La La'."
And after another bad joke from Joco, Aichi thought about something.
" Kai, you think..."
" I know what you're thinking, Aichi. But-!"
The big blue orbs were staring at him, like they were begging to do what they wanted to. Of course, no cold hearted person could resist those eyes, not even Kai's other friends...
" Fine. But just this once... And please stop showing that face..."
" Alright!"
" What is it?"
Aichi closed his eyes and concentrated as he opened his eyes a little while later to reveal a swirling power in his eyes.
" In a few moments later, a group of five girls will give us direction to Lee Lee La La... Is what it says."
The power went off as Aichi blinked.
" Well, that's about all the clues I have."
" If you're wondering, that was Aichi's premonition powers. It won't go far but it will at least tell us what will happen in the next few moments, minutes or hours."
" Wow, that's amazing."
" Wait... Five girls? Why does that sound so familiar...?"
They suddenly heard screams as they saw five familiar girls running away from something.
" Hey, it's the Lees Five."
" Lees... Five?" Aichi wondered
" Somehow... That sounds even more wrong..." Kai thought, sweat dropping
" So... The direction they came from was over there..."
They saw a house that looked quite spooky.
" It looks a little scary but it suits a theme like that." Aichi shivered
" Come on."
They started to walk over to the door as Yoh knocked on it and the door opened...
~Time skip~
After getting information on where to go towards Dhoby Village, they met Anna and the others on the way after getting almost killed by Zeke's three girls followers. They obtained powers from the ancient book of Zeke Asakura after that.
" You guys are alright!"
" Yeah. Sorry to worry you guys."
" As long as you guys didn't go to Zeke's side, it's fine."
" Says the two who never helped in our previous battle."
" Sorry but this time, we'll help."
" Aichi!"
" We promised, Kai. Besides, they're our friends and we'll help when they need it."
" Alright, fine."
That was when the same three girls appeared.
" Not them again..."
" Kai."
" I got it."
" You guys can rest up. Kai and I will handle this."
" Okay then."
" Hey, Kanna, look. More preys."
" Quite cocky. Let's take both of them down, Matilda and Marion!"
" Alright."
" Let's do this, Aichi."
" Yeah."
Suddenly, rainbow aura surrounded the both of them.
" Huh... It's not too bad. I guess those guys can be right for once."
" Well, you didn't believe them after all."
" What do you suppose we do now?"
" Easy really. Let's use these powers to defeat them."
" Alright then."
Yoh was pondering about something.
" Now that's odd... I thought that was a defense mechanism for Aichi."
" So you're telling me that Kai has the same ability but... It looks a little weaker."
" Yes. The aura around Aichi is stronger than Kai's."
" But what does it do? I mean, they don't look like they're using their spirits either."
" Well, we're about to find out."
The three girls surrounded them. Marion sent Baby Chuck out.
" Man, that baby sure can walk."
" No time to be impressed, Aichi."
" Orb of Oblivion!"
" Jack, Halloween Twister!"
" Crossfire."
Aichi lifted up his hand as the aura spread and stopped the Orb of Oblivion.
" No way!"
He then pointed it towards Jack as both collided. Kai took out a red crystal ring as flames came out of it and destroyed the Crossfire before hitting Baby Chuck. He then aimed the flame to Ashcroft as it was also destroyed.
" Wow! The ring really is cool!"
" Want to try?"
" Huh? You sure?"
" Yeah."
Kai handed the ring to Aichi as blue flames suddenly shot out of it as Aichi panicked and fired it everywhere. Yoh and the others got hit as they looked at Aichi.
" I'm sorry!"
Kai took the ring from Aichi as they heaved a sigh of relief.
" Remind me to never let that happen ever again..."
" Yes..."
They turned behind to see that the three girls had summoned their most powerful attack.
" Well, let's finish this."
" Yeah!"
The two lifted up two cards in the air.
" Dragonic Overlord the 'Legend'!"
" Alfred Exiv!"
" Go even further into the future! Generation Break! Dragonic Overlord the 'Legend'!"
" Grab the future and bring forth harmony and rebirth with your white wings! Stride Generation! Harmonics Messiah!"
White wings and Dragon wings appeared on Aichi and Kai as they went beside their summoned units.
" What the..."
" Is it me or did that dragon just turned bigger?!"
" Burn them to ashes."
" But leave the girls alone, we just want to harm the spirits."
Both roared and blasted their attacks as the three were defeated.
" No way... There's just no way..."
" I'm exhausted..."
" Hey, stay awake. I can't have you falling asleep here."
" I'm sorry..."
Kai dispersed his aura as he turned to Aichi but he wasn't moving and neither was he dispersing his aura.
" Could it be...?"
" Kai, Aichi! You guys did it!"
" The time for judgment is near."
A light surrounded the whole gang as they opened their eyes to find themselves in a white space.
" Where are we?"
" I don't know... But I don't like this..."
" Oh? Look who we have here."
They turned their heads.
" Zeke?!"
" The X-Laws are here too!"
" It seems that everyone is gathered." A mysterious voice rung out
From behind a throne came out two people with the girl carrying a baby.
" Don't just stand there, come back." The red haired boy called out
Kai walked forward before kneeling down.
" Welcome back, Aichi."
Aichi, who was seated on the throne, smiled.
" Yes. I think you're right."
" Kai? Aichi? What's going on here?"
" You all are chosen Shaman fighters for our judgment that's going to befall upon this world. The arbitrators for this world." Aichi explained
" Judgment?"
" I came to this world for one reason only. I felt many corruptions and I think I might've found it."
" All this time, Aichi was with me but he had no memories of this. But in fear of the corruption, the defense mechanism was put on his body." Kai explained, standing up
" He personally sealed away his memories so as to choose suitable aribirators from this world... To counter our perfect future we've prepared."
" Perfect future?"
" Even now, as we speak... A device that we've created will send out a mass energy wave and fill this entire world soon. It'll put all to a deep slumber and show you the future you desire the most."
" A future that has no tomorrow, is that what you're saying?"
" If you want to put it that way... We've chosen your groups to become the aribirators, however... They'll be narrowed to the few people who are willing to fight for this world."
" Why are you doing this?! I thought we were friends!"
" We were and we still are. At least, to my memory loss self, that is. I don't mind becoming your friends either, you know. But... I wanted to make things just a little more interesting. I sealed some parts of my memories and Kai won't tell you anything either even if we get out from here."
" Then if you wouldn't mind... I'll be taking your spirit!"
" Zeke, no!"
" I have no intention to fight here, you know. Besides... I control this space."
The Spirit of Fire dispersed as Zeke landed.
" What?!"
" You are in my world and the time space dimension I created. I control everything here as I will. Sorry to tell you this but... I disabled all of your Furyoku just now. But don't worry, it's only temporary. I choose to not fight right now. Besides, you guys should know the end result very well."
" Well, I don't! If you want us to fight you to stop your so called 'perfect future', then so be it! I'll fight you right now!"
" Len, wait!"
" You're not stopping me, Trey!"
" Okay then. I'll let you guys see how strong one must become to protect whatever's precious to them. First, I'll enable only your Furyoku and now your opponent..."
" Want me to do it, King?"
" King?"
" Luna? I don't need to be addressed that way but if you want to fight him, then be careful. And one more thing, just call me by my name."
" Alright. Here. He missed you."
Luna handed the baby over to Aichi.
" Thank you for taking care of him on my absence. Now go."
" Okay."
" I said you, Aichi! Not this little girl!"
" Believe me, Lenny. This little girl will teach you a lesson you won't forget."
" I didn't allow you to call me that!"
" I am Luna Yumizuki. I am the Second Peacemaker after Chrono Shindou. And... As Asaka would say it, welcome to my circus!"
The field changed to a circus field as Luna was surrounded by the same aura.
" The same aura!"
" But what's a Peacemaker?"
" Let's go! Masked Magician, Harri!"
" That same trick won't work this time! Let's strike her, Bason!"
" Shine, my other self! To the sparkling stage... Stride Generation! Carnivorous Megatrick, Prana!"
" What?!"
" Now, everyone! Come out and play! Cutie Paratrooper, two Praised Evil Tamer, Mireille, Masquerade Bunny and Miracle Tumbler, Lance!"
" Where did all those things come out from?!"
" This is my circus! My stage! Everyone, attack!"
" Let's do this, Bason!"
" I'm ready when you are."
Len used his giant spirit form as Bason rose.
" He's huge."
" So that's the new power they've obtained."
" Go, Bason."
Bason punched the incoming group of units but they suddenly disappeared.
" What?!"
" You know... Bigger isn't always the better."
Luna suddenly appeared behind Len.
" No way!"
" Now, everyone. Come on out!"
The same units appeared again.
" They're back?!"
" This is my festival of Souls. Have fun playing with them. As for your Spirit, I have a little present from a certain someone. Now, arise. Nightmare Doll, Alice!"
" It's... A doll!"
" Oh look, Dollie wants to play!"
" Not the time for your jokes, Joco!"
" That thing's as big as Bason!"
" Alice, bring his Spirit down to size."
While Luna and her units attacked Len, Bason was defeated by Alice.
" Len!"
Luna landed as she placed Len down.
" While I did say the bigger isn't always the better one, sometimes it is still the better one. I had fun battling."
" Anyway, Luna... Am's gonna be mad that you used it."
" As long as she doesn't find out, it should be fine."
" Really now?"
There was a ringing sound as Chrono summoned a crystal.
" Oh, Am."
" Have you seen Luna?! I couldn't find her anywhere!"
" Uh oh..."
Aichi and Kai were seen hiding their chuckles in.
" Well, you have your answer now."
" Luna!"
" I'm sorry!"
" Get back here in ten seconds!"
" Y-Yes! I'm sorry... I'll be going back now..."
" Okay, take care."
Luna disappeared as the field turned back to normal.
" I can't believe I was defeated!"
" Calm down, Len. Still... I know your intentions aren't bad but why are you doing this?"
" Because I've seen enough. This world and their never ending wars, it's way worse than ours. So I don't want what happened with our world before to happen in yours. That's why I made the decision."
" I see."
" Now that you know what's about to happen sooner or later, please grow stronger. Of course, I don't need to remind you, Zeke. You are already doing exactly that but for a different reason."
" Yes, that's right."
" Now, I'll send everyone back to the real world again. Kai and I will be accompanying you guys to the Shaman Tournament to judge more fighters. I'll see you when the time comes."
" Wait. Can't you be yourself? I mean, why follow us if that self of yours doesn't even know what's going on? It's a little unfair, don't you think?"
" Alright then."
" I'll see you guys there too."
" Yeah, see you, Chrono."
The X-Laws were sent away first as Zeke's group were next.
" Oh, and Yoh... You should get stronger too. We'll be reunited soon, my Brother."
He disappeared as Yoh and the others were transported after that. They arrived back at reality as they got up.
" Brother? Yoh, he's joking right?"
" Yoh?"
Yoh's Father interrupted them and told them that Yoh was indeed Zeke's twin brother.
" No way... So you were lying to us this whole time?!" Kai ask
" Kai, calm down. There's nothing to be angry about." Aichi intervened
" Aichi! This guy is the Brother of that dangerous guy! What if he's actually working for Zeke?! You saw what he can do!"
" Kai, for the last time, calm down."
" Aichi! Until I get the truth out of this guy, I'm going to fight him until the end!"
" Kai!"
Aichi blocked Kai's way as he flinched.
" Get out of the way, Aichi!"
Aichi shook his head as he maintained his stand.
" Calm down. You should know by now. Yoh's not that type of person. You shouldn't have lost your head, Kai. Now put your talisman down."
" Aichi!"
" I guess you leave me with no choice."
Aichi punched Kai's stomach as he fainted from the hit. The baby started to cry.
" Sorry. Your father wouldn't listen so I had to do this." Aichi whispered
Aichi suddenly felt something pulsating in his body as he fell to his knees.
" Aichi!"
" Don't tell me... You're crying because... He's... Here...?"
Aichi fainted after that.
" Hey! Wake up!"
" What happened?!" Morti exclaimed
" Hey, it's the baby from before."
Len picked the baby up as they suddenly heard a low rumble. They slowly turned behind to see black mist coming after them. Rio quickly grabbed Kai while Pailong picked up Aichi.
" Crap! Everyone, run!"
" What is that thing?!"
" I don't know but it doesn't look friendly!"
" Keep running!"
" We're not going to make it!"
The black mist was now above them as it came crashing down on them. The black mist seemed to look up after that as Bason and Eliza were flying in the air.
" Quick thinking, Len and Faust!"
" What is that thing? It's huge!"
" That baby won't stop crying. So it means that this is bad company."
" How do you know that, Anna?"
" Because he started crying a few seconds before that thing arrived and plus, your blue haired friend fainted at the same time."
" They were both sensing the same thing."
" I think so."
" Jun. Take care of the baby and those two. We'll handle this one."
Len handed the baby over to Jun.
" Wait, Len! What are you going to do with that thing?! I don't think it's a spirit."
" She's right..."
" Kai!"
" That thing... Void... It is nothingness itself... It has the power to engulf a whole planet into darkness... And it's coming after Aichi and Tasuku... Our baby you have there..."
" Wait, our? You mean... This baby is... You and Aichi's?" Yoh ask
" Well, I..."
" Hold on a minute! What's going on here?!"
" Look out!"
Black mist charged upwards towards them as they barely managed to dodge.
" Bason! Attack it!"
Bason swung his weapon but it just past through the black mist.
" What the?!"
" I told you...! Just keep escaping...! We'll shake it off eventually...!"
" Hey, maybe that thing is the black dust we're searching for." Yoh said
" Are you crazy?! How does that look like dust?!"
" Maybe you're right."
"Just keep going...!"
They flew away for another few minutes as Len looked behind.
" That thing is persistent!"
" It's okay. I'm done recovering."
" Kai?"
Kai took out a red ring and put it on as a spirit ball of a dragon appeared.
" Overlord, into the talisman."
Overlord flew into the ring as Kai directed it towards the black mist. A torrent of crimson flames shot out of it and hit the black mist as it disappeared.
" It's finally gone..."
" So that's how the ring worked. His spirit went into that ring and that's how the flames came out."
" Not really. The ring was something given by Aichi to the chosen fighters. They are called talismans. Three others possess talismans too other than myself. Olivier Gaillard of the Bluish Flames, Phillippe Neve of the Steel Walls and Ratie Curti of the Fairy Masquerade."
" Exactly how many of you guys are there?"
" Don't worry. During the judgement fights, we'll only battle the same amount of people that we choose. So if we choose six of you guys from here, then you'll just be battling six of us."
" I don't understand. What's he talking about, Yoh? You guys disappeared and then the next moment, you guys are talking about this judgement fight. What is going on here?"
" Sorry, Morti. I'll tell you guys what we all know once we land at a safe place."
" Okay..."
" I'll take over from here. Thanks for taking care of them."
Kai carried Tasuku from June and sat beside Aichi, who Pailong had placed down.
" Sorry if he was a little noisy just now and sorry for the outburst just now, Yoh."
" It's fine. We're all friends here."
" Hey, I see a town up ahead! Let's land there for a day or two."
" Sure."
Aichi woke up at that time.
" Good timing. We've just arrived at a town."
" Kai..."
" Here."
Aichi carried Tasuku as they landed and got off the spirits.
" Looks like a nice town to stay in for a few days."
" Yeah. Let's go."
" Yeah!"
And that's the end of this chapter! I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter and I'll see everyone in the next chapter!
