AN: I hope you enjoy another good chapter

Opens to Bren in the middle of the same part, looking around for this Trent that he is supposed to fight

Bren: Now where could he be?

Voice: Bren?

Bren turns and he sees an American boy about 15 years old, he is wearing Jeans a leather jacket and some leather boots

Boy: Names Trent, you must Bren the shaman I'm supposed to beat

Bren puts on his glove

Bren: Fine, show me your spirit

Trent holds up a bear paw glove

Trent: Meet Brandon, my father's pet bear

The spirit of the brown bear roars and goes into the paw and Trent puts on the claw

Trent: BEAR CLAWS

The paw grows 3 spirit claws and he runs at Bren to slash him

Bren: Nice try

He touches the ground

Bren: Earth wall

A wall of earth comes out of the ground and blocks the slash.

Trent: not bad, but Brandon's claws are stronger then that

The earth is cut up and Bren barely dodges the blow

Bren: Not bad, you control your spirit well

Bren grins and vines come out of the ground and hold Trent's feet down

Bren: too bad, you can't move anymore

Trent: nice try

Spirit claws come out of the boots and cut the vines

Bren: but how?

Trent: 3 of Brandon's foot claws are inlaid in the boots so I can channel Brandon in them

Bren: Impressive

Trent: Of course I'm losing mana doing that

Bren: yeah… holding you is tough work

They both laugh

Bren: But let's get serious

Bren touches the ground again and spikes come out from under Trent's feet

Trent: yikes

He runs back

Trent: Fine, I guess I could take you out quickly now

Trent takes off his jacket to reveal that underneath it is a bear skin vest

Trent: SOUL OF THE BEAR

The spirit of Brandon engulfs Trent and so it looks like a transparent bear with Trent inside

Trent: Game over Bren, but your gonna lose

Trent charges at Bren and slams him into a tree

Bren: ouch….

Trent: Give up; I have enough mana to kill you

Bren: Then I guess I should use a lot of mana myself, I was going too easy on you

Trent: Huh?

The water from the nearby fountain rises up and then freezes into ice arrows hitting Brandon/ Trent

Trent: AHHH

Bren runs back

Bren: FIRE

Bren outstretches his arm and opens his palm and sends a large stream of fire at Trent

Bren: Game over

The smoke clears and Trent's oversoul is deactivated

Trent: oh man…

Bren: Come on cheer up, you're a good player

Bren helps Trent get up

Trent: You think so?

Bren: Yeah

Honda's voice: good strategy, mana use is perfect, I must say Bren that you are a good shaman

The 2 look up into a tree and see Honda with Scorpio

Honda: Hey Bren, how is it going

Bren: Well I was wondering why you were here

Honda: Well I judge some of the fights just to make sure no one dies

Bren: Good man, anyway I need to head home and get some sleep

Bren begins walking home

Bren without turning back: Hey Trent, your oversoul is weak near the shoulders, better fix that

Trent is surprised and he walks off

Honda: Once again your mana is bouncing around, when you used that fire it went up to 1000, but now it is back down to 100, Bren what is your secret?

Hao's voice: His secret is that he draws in nature

Honda looks behind him and it is Hao

Honda: Who are you?

Hao: My name is Hao Asakura, future Shaman King

Honda: HAO?!

Hao: I'm not here to fight you, I'm here just to see how Bren is doing, he reminds me of me in my first life

Honda uses his oversoul in the form of a sword (looks like a scorpion sting) to hit Hao but Hao dodges

Hao: Sorry but you need a better oversoul to beat me, so take care

He runs off

Honda: Hao Asakura…I better be more careful for now on…

Chapter end

AN: I hope you enjoyed the first shaman fight
