+----+ A New Reikai Tantei +----+
+----+ Episode 1: Martial Arts Master! Shinrai Seijitsu's Appearance +----+
In Tokyo, the World Martial Arts Championship was being held for the first time ever. Millions of fans had gathered to watch the best fighters in the world duke it out. But there was another force at work....
=== At Reikai ===
"George!"
"Yes, Koenma-sama?"
From behind a desk a chair spun around, revealing what looked to be a toddler with an oversized hat on. But this toddler was actually the ruler of all the Spiritual World - Koenma Daiou.
"Has the tournament begun yet, George?" Koenma asked.
"Yes, sir," replied 'George,' who was a blue oni (in case you didn't know), "and the match-ups have been determined."
"Excellent. I'll take over from here."
With the push of a button on Koenma's desk, a screen on the other side of his office flickered to life, showing the Tokyo Battle Dome in all its glory.
*Let's see if anyone here is Reikai Tantei material....* thought Koenma, though he already had a candidate in mind. Someone he'd been watching for quite some time....
=== Tokyo Battle Dome - World Martial Arts Championship Final Round ===
"Ladies and gentlemen! This is the fight we've all been waiting for!" called out the announcer, speaking into his microphone excitedly.
"And we have for your entertainment the two most powerful fighters ever seen in this world! Their skills finely honed, their spirits fierce with the will to battle, you're in for a treat today! Now! Bring out the finalists!"
From either side of the arena silk curtains parted to reveal the two fighters who each wanted the title of Most Powerful. One was large, bulky - muscles covered his body and scars marked his many battles. This fighter cried out mightily, and the crowd followed suit, roaring in applause at the mighty warrior. The man crouched down and flipped into the air, landing gracefully on the arena floor (and causing quite a tremor as well). Once more, he flexed his muscles proudly, and stared with contempt at his challenger.
In contrast to the bold display of the other fighter, this young man walked silently towards the ring. Jet black hair jutted from his head like spikes, and his green eyes shone with determination and fearlessness.
=== At Reikai ===
"Koenma-sama, why are we even watching this? That big guy is clearly stronger."
"Once again, George, you never cease to amaze me with your stupidity. Here, take a look at this."
Koenma pushed another button and the picture shrunk to a corner of the screen. Pictures of both challengers appeared in the remaining area, and a number counter began to roll underneath both of them. When it finished calculating, George's jaw dropped.
"T-That kid...."
"Exactly," spoke Koenma, "He's several times stronger than his opponent. Now you see that size doesn't matter." And he grinned at that statement.
*I'm hoping to see what he can do.... This won't be a very accurate test, but it should suffice.*
=== Tokyo Battle Dome ===
"In this corner," cried the announcer, "is Ken Adams, champion fighter from America. He's mastered most forms of wrestling, and is currently the favorite to win the tournament."
Ken flexed his muscles again, and leered at his young opponent.
"In the opposite corner is Shinrai Seijitsu! This young man has never entered any professional-rank tournaments, but in each of his matches today he's managed to K.O. his opponents without ever being touched. One thing is for sure, folks, and that's that this match is going to be one for the ages!"
And the crowd erupted in a flurry of applause and cheering, as a chant began - 'Ken,' 'Ken,' 'Ken.'
Both fighters stared at each other, Ken confidently grinning. Shinrai simply closed his eyes and went into a defensive stance.
"Let the match.... BEGIN!!!"
Ken chuckled madly, "Heh-heh-heh.... What's wrong, little boy? Afraid?"
Shinrai said nothing, but simply motioned for Ken to come at him with one hand. And then he smiled.
"Impudent wretch! I'll crush you! Don't you get that?!" With a mighty cry, Ken charged at the young boy.... and connected with a hard punch. Or, at least, that's what it looked like.
Groaning with effort, the large man tried to force his fist at Shinrai, but the younger boy had grasped his punch with one hand and was easily restraining him. Without warning, blue light burst from Shinrai, surrounding his body entirely.
"Out of respect for your title, I'll suggest that you surrender now," Shinrai said in a calm, cool voice.
This sent Ken over the edge. He was being told to surrender by THIS runt?! Angrily, he reared back and swung his head straight into Shinrai's skull.
Shinrai's neck was knocked back slightly, but nothing more.
"I see you've made your choice. Very well then...."
=== At Reikai ===
"Ooh, he's angry now!" cried Koenma. "Take cover!" With that, he dove under his desk.
"Koenma-sama? I don't see what the big deal is.... !!!! W-Wha?!"
=== Tokyo Battle Dome ===
The blue light that surrounded Shinrai nearly tripled in size. A deadly look crossed the face of the young competitor, one that made Ken freeze in pure terror.
"I warned you to surrender...." began Shinrai in a montone voice, "but you chose instead to charge headfirst - literally. That move actually damaged me a little.... So I'll let you see my true skill."
Effortlessly, Shinrai shoved his opponent halfway across the ring and moved his arm to his side, fist clenched. All of the light that he was giving off slowly siphoned into his hand.
"Wh-wh-wh-what in.... ?!!" cried out Ken, still reeling from simply being pushed away, as he bounced against the arena ropes and was shot straight for Shinrai.
"Meet the highest form of attack! Reikou Shou!!!"
Shinrai's punch connected, and Ken spat out blood before being hurled out of the ring and through the arena ceiling. The crowd sat silently in shock and awe, stunned by the display of power that they'd just witnessed. The announcer, after standing slack-jawed for several moments, managed to speak.
"T-The winner of the First World Martial Arts Championship.... is Shinrai Seijitsu!"
=== At Reikai ===
At the instant Shinrai's blow was delivered, the viewing screen shattered violently, the entire room being engulfed in a white light.
"T-That.... was incredible...." George said, his voice shaking.
Koenma crawled out from underneath his desk, and nodded his head.
"Hmm, yes. That was truly incredible.... Shinrai's power increased exponentially while using that technique. He's the perfect candidate."
"Y-You mean.... the Reikai Tantei, Koenma-sama?"
"Exactly. I'll be the one assigning him, so tell administration not to worry. Just get the paperwork through as fast as possible." Koenma then flashed white and disappeared.
"Yes, Koenma-sama."
=== Tokyo Battle Dome ===
The crowd was now on its feet, applauding and cheering wildly for Shinrai, when everything seemed to stop. Shinrai noticed this, and spun around to face Koenma, who had just appeared.
"Who are you? No.... What are you?" Shinrai asked.
Koenma's eyes sparkled and he placed his hands on his hips trying to look important. "I am the ruler of all the Spiritual World, the great Koenma Daiou!"
Shinrai's face was totally blank. ".... And your point?"
With that, Koenma face-faulted, falling to the ground with a loud -thump!-. "You nincompoop! I'm important! Don't talk to me like that!"
"If you have business with me, then say so."
".... Alright," said an exasperated Koenma, "Will you join our Reikai Tantei soldiers and help defend the world from demons?"
"Sure"
"Now, don't talk like.... Huh? Great! You'll receive instructions within the week. Later!" And Koenma blinked out again.
*Heh.... This should be interesting.* though Shinrai as time went back to normal.
