Pandemonium
A/n: It's been two weeks since I last updated... :/
I was really busy with work, that I forgot to update.
The funny thing is that I actually checked a couple of times and thought that I updated already... crazy, right?
Anyway here is the new chapter, it's kinda short so... sorry. XP
Sapphiet - Yeah... you guessed right! XD
Disclaimer: I don't own Shaman King.
Flashback:
Everyone was in their defense position and waited for them to attack, but they just stood there. Michiko walked out of the shadows and showed herself to them. She was wearing an all black gown with a matching black veil. Her eyes glowing red beneath it. They stared at her in awe. The color black really suited her, she looked stunning and frightening at the same time. The ceiling shattered and showed the evening sky. She flew above them and raised both her hands up, "Revenge of the Night." They over-souled and waited for the attack, but nothing happened. Yoh turned to look at his friends but came face to face with himself.
End of Flashback
Yoh's eyes went wide at the sight of himself in front of him, smirking straight at him. He backed away from it and bumped into Anna.
"S-Sorry..." he mumbled.
Anna just smiled at him wickedly. Yoh noticed that behind Anna in front of him, was another Anna, and was staring at him with wide eyes.
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
Yoh's body jerked as he blinked when he suddenly felt immense pain in his stomach. The Anna standing in front of him smiled in triumph as she pulled the blade out of his stomach. Yoh backed away from her, frowning in confusion. Meanwhile the real Anna gasped in shock and rushed to him only to be stopped by the girl who stabbed her fiance, an exact replica of herself.
"You can't help him." she grinned, "I won't let you." she scowled and jumped at her.
Anna summoned her shikigami and engaged into battle. Yoh winced in pain while clutching his wound in an attempt to stop it from bleeding further, but blood kept rushing out of it. The other Yoh was watching him in satisfaction. The rest was battling out with themselves. Michiko laughed in delight as she watch the place be devoured in chaos.
"What the hell are these?!" Ren shouted while fending for himself.
Michiko laughed; "Those are your reflections." she looked down to him.
Ren frowned and continued his fight with his reflection. Hao looked up to Michiko after knocking out his reflection. Michiko looked at him and smiled in amusement. Meanwhile Yoh was about to be killed by his reflection, Hao saw this and helped his twin. He rushed to his side and was able to subdue his twin's reflection; he was about to burn it into crisp but stopped when he heard Michiko's voice.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you…not unless you want your brother or as you say your other half to die." She snickered.
"What do you mean?" Hao asked in confusion.
She floated to him, "Only Yoh is able to overcome it without killing himself along with it."
Everyone stopped fighting to listen to her explanation of what's happening.
"Revenge of the Night is a spell that enables me to turn my enemies' reflections against them." She smiled. "The bonus part is that the only one who could kill or defeat the reflection is the one who owns it, because the damage inflicted to it by another person will also be inflicted to the real one." She laughed sadistically.
Hao stared at Yoh's reflection on the ground then at Yoh. Damn. He then went to his brother's side and healed him back to his perfect health. Yoh smiled at his brother and thanked him.
"Thanks nii-san." Yoh grinned.
Hao narrowed his eyes at him and looked away. "Get ready…everything's just starting."
"Wait, I forgot to say something!" Michiko exclaimed. "Those reflections of yours have the same strength as you so I suggest you fight them seriously…" she warned, "…not that they're much off a challenge anyway!" she giggled.
Yoh stood up to face his opponent, which is his reflection and oversouled. Michiko smirked at Hao before disappearing. Hao frowned and was about to follow her when the twins, Riko and Rika got in his way.
"Ah ah ah…" Rika wiggled her finger, "You can't pass." She smiled.
"I don't have the luxury of time to deal with you." Hao narrowed his eyes at her and threw fireballs to her way, but the fireballs were absorbed by Riko.
"Yum yum yum." Riko snickered.
He glared at Riko and attempted to burn her using SOF. Riko laughed and absorbed every fire SOF directed to her.
"As you may have already noticed, fire won't work on me." She smiled in triumph.
Well it's not like I can only control fire, but…I really don't want to deal with these girls right now! "Damn it." He muttered under his breath.
Rika smirked and threw huge chunks of ice to his direction, but Hao easily melted it. The huge chunks of ice melted into water, and continued its way to him, which he evaded effortlessly. Rika chuckled and smiled at her sister. Riko took the hint and decided to take over of the fight.
"Let's finish this."
Hao went into offense position as Riko materialized a wave of lava and directedit towards him.
Michiko was walking calmly on the road of stars with amazement in her eyes as she looks around. She finally reached the end of it and saw the Great Spirits.
"So this is it, huh." She murmured to herself, "Hello, King of Spirits."
A/n: That's it for this chapter. :)
And as you've already noticed I kinda based this on the anime and not the manga...
Anyway, the plot thickens? What does Michiko/Kyoko want with the great spirits?
Stay tuned to find out!
Thanks for reading and leave me a review, okay? ^^
