NEW SHAMAN IN TOWN

ML: All right, here's chapter 3.  So, who's going to do the synopsis?  I know.  YOH!

Yoh: Ok, yesterday, my fiancée, or my torturer…


Anna: YOH!  THAT'S IT!  EXTRA MILES FOR YOU!

Yoh: All right, after I finish.  Interrogated our friend James.  Turns out he's got quite a team of American outlaws as ghosts.  But Len looks like he's made a plan. 

ML: What the plan is, we'll find out.  These characters with me, I DO NOT OWN.  Well, except for James.

Chapter 3 – True Colours

(MORTY'S POV)

            Well, we've got a new friend on our side, right?  Well… you know what happens when you have an American resident who has an outlaw team.  He may stab you in the back.  Just like we were about to find out!

(NARRATOR'S POV)

            Yoh was at it again.  In other words, training.  Only this time, it was TRIPLE the miles running, swimming, and more weights.  Ouch.  Morty and Trey were, as usual, with him, as was Amidamaru.

            "I don't know WHY that girl's pushing you this hard, Yoh." Trey said.

            "Duh, it's to be Shaman King!" Yoh said, his anger being more evident.

            "Calm down, Yoh!" screamed both Morty and Amidamaru.  They both saw how Yoh could be when he was mad, and they didn't want to aggravate him even more. 

            "You know, you're getting better.  Anna's just trying her best to help!"  Amidamaru explained.

            "Is this her idea of helping me?"  Yoh asked, angrily.  "All I know is… argh!"  He hit the bench he was on, and the wood splintered.  Morty, Trey and Amidamaru jumped back in shock. Anna saw this, and inside her, two sides were fighting, the caring one, and the one everyone normally saw, pushy and bossy.  Anna ran over to Yoh, and slapped him hard.

            "Complaining, are we?"  That'll be 50 more push ups!"  Anna screamed.

            "Look, Anna, I'm starting to get tired of it!" Yoh said.

            "If you don't want my help, fine!  But we'll see who's laughing when you die!"  Anna screamed.  It was then that James decided to show up.

            "Lover's quarrel?" He asked.

            "They're always like that."  Morty said.

            "Something's going on in the park.  I hit a snag in my training.  Think Anna can help?"  James asked.

            Immediately, Anna said, "Well, I'll think about it."  However, Morty, Yoh and Trey thought one thing.  'This could be a trap.'

            Anna just said, "Show me what's wrong." 

            James said, "Follow me."  The two walked off, and the three boys followed.  As the five got to the place where James was training, he talked into a walkie-talkie.

            "It's time." 

            "What are you talking about, James?"  Anna asked.

            "Yeah, I sort of wonder." Yoh said.

            "IT'S THIS!  RAPID TEMPO!"  A voice screamed.

            "I've got two guesses who that could be, but I'm going to only need one."  Yoh said. "LEN!"

            "That's right.  If you don't want to die now, HAND OVER THE SAMURAI!"  Len said as he walked out of the shadows.

            "In your dreams, buddy." Yoh said. 

            "You leave me no choice but to use force!  BASON!" He said.  "Let's show this weakling of a shaman what we can do!"

            "As you command, master!"  Bason said.

            "Fine!  AMIDAMARU!" Yoh said.  "Let's show these losers what a shaman REALLY is!" 

            "Let's go."

Yoh/Len: SPIRIT FORM!  UNITY!

            The two began to fight, and it was pretty even.  Trey tried calling out Cory, but Anna stopped him.  "It's Yoh's fight." 

            Trey just watched, but James was biding his time, and screamed out his own spirit.  "McVeigh!  SPIRIT FORM!  UNITY!"

            James quietly loaded a bomb, and put it near to the area where all the others were.  As Len laid blows, he quietly slipped on a mask. 

            "What's the mask for, punk?" Yoh asked.

            "You'll see." Len answered.  "NOW JAMES!" 

            James said, "EXPLOSION!" and the bomb spewed out knockout gas as everyone except Len and him were fast asleep.  As that happened, they kidnapped an incapacitated Anna, and left a note.

            As Yoh and his friends woke up, they saw something was wrong.

            "WHERE'S ANNA?"  Yoh asked, with a bit of concern.

            "We don't know!" Trey and Morty said.  Trey noticed the note, and read.

                        To Headphones,

We've got your girl.  If you want to see her alive, and not riddled with bullet holes or blown up, BRING US THE SAMURAI GHOST!  Come alone, for if we see anyone with you, SHE DIES!

            Len and James

            Yoh just grabbed the letter, and tore it up.  He ran out from the park at full speed and with tears coming down his normally laid back face. Trey and Morty tried to catch up.

END

Well, that ends the chapter for now.  R&R!
