CHAPTER THREE: Strange Signs
Manta awoke earlier than usual the next day. He felt this strange vibe and wanted to know if everyone else felt it too.
"Yoh! Anna! Trey! "Manta yelled as he ran through the house as quickly as his little feet could carry him.
"Yoh? Anna! Trey! "He screamed as he ran outside. "Where IS everyone? "
"Amidamaru, spirit form! Integrate! "Manta heard Yoh scream.
"Yoh! Where IS he? "Manta thought to himself.
A black hared ghost appeared in front of Manta. The ghost was wearing a long black cloak, and he had designs on his face. He wore numerous charms around his neck and resembled that of a spell-caster.
"Your friend is in trouble! "He said to Manta in a hurried voice.
"Where is-"
"The cemetery! Run now! "
Manta ran to the cemetery just as the weird ghost told him to, and the ground started to shake.
"Whoa, an earthquake? "He screamed as he was thrown to the ground as it violently shook.
A giant land worm came through the ground and headed towards the cemetery where Yoh was said to be. Only half of the worm could be seen, but the visible part measured about twenty-to-twenty-five meters long.
"W-What IS that! "Manta said as he stared in shock.
Anna appeared next to him and looked at the land worm.
"That...is a spirit monster! "She replied.
"A spirit who? "He asked in perplexity.
"A spirit monster. It's one of the eight legendary spirit monsters, or as some people called them, the eight mythical beasts of destruction! "She continued.
"How did it get here!? "Manta screamed in frustration.
"We don't have time for this now! Yoh could be in danger! "Anna screamed as she dragged Manta towards the cemetery.
****************************
Yoh and Trey both battled and destroyed the spirit hunters, and took a breather as they all started to disintegrate.
"Man...that was tiring! "Trey said as he gasped for air.
"Yeah! I know what you mean! "Yoh replied as he collapsed heavily unto the ground.
Seconds later, the ground once again began to tremble madly.
"What on earth? "They both said in unison. As they did, the giant land worm revealed itself to them.
"Wha!! It's a spirit monster! Trey shrieked as he moved around nervously, like in an anime show.
"A spirit monster! "Yoh said as he jumped up suddenly. "What's a spirit monster? "
Trey grabbed Yoh's hand and ran away from the land worm as fast as he could. The land worm chased them and was only three feet away.
"We have no time to discuss this! "Trey screamed as he ran faster. "We must escape...We're not strong enough to fight it! "
*************************
Manta and Anna reached the cemetery, but saw that the spirit monster has already found them. The weird ghost followed closely behind them.
"Manta, stay put! I'm gonna see if I can return it to the spirit plane! " Anna said. She then began her chant.
The land worm dug deep under the ground, as if it was trying to escape her spell. At first, Anna could feel her spell connect to the beast, but then it felt as if someone purposely interfered and the connection was lost.
"It's not working! Something's interfering! "She screamed in terror.
The ghost then decided that enough was enough and spoke to Manta inside his mind.
'Run! Run to your friends now! ' He screeched.
"Wha...? "Manta said as he looked around for the ghost, but he was nowhere to be seen.
'Run now! There's no time! '
Obediently, Manta ran towards his friends just like the voice told him to.
"Manta stop! "Anna screamed, but e was already half way there.
Just as he reached Trey and Yoh, the giant land worm broke through he earth in front of them.
"Manta! Manta, get back! "Yoh screamed in terror.
'No! Don't move! Trust me! ' The voice said to him.
"Manta! Run! "Trey said as he tried to pull Manta away, but he wouldn't budge.
"Manta what's with you! "Anna screamed as she ran towards them.
"Something tells me to stay here and I will, "he replied calmly.
The spirit monster hurled towards them in increasing speed.
'Now free your mind! I need to be able to integrate with you!' The voice whispered in his head.
"But-But I'M not a shaman! "Manta protested.
'I know this, but we don't have any other options!' The ghost yelled loudly, making Manta squint his eyes in pain.
"But I can't do it! "Manta yelled out loud.
Yoh shot Trey a confused glance, and Trey shrugged his shoulders.
'You must! There's too much at stake!' The voice said in persuasion.
"I don't think I can! "Manta repeated.
The land worm was nearly two feet away from them now.
'Do you want to protect your friends?' The spirit asked softly.
"Yes, "Manta answered in a calm manner.
'Then show me! Free your mind of all thoughts! Open your mind! Only then will I be able to successfully integrate with you, and help you save your friends!"
Manta did as he was told, and he began to relax. He cleared his head of all thoughts, and opened his mind.
As the land worm came within a foot of them, the ghost merged with Manta.
"Tsunami Typhoon! "The spirit and Manta said in unison.
Everyone watched in amazement as Manta conjured a giant tornado wall of water, and hit the spirit monster with it. The land worm screeched and shook violently as the water touched it. This caused the ground to shake once again.
"And now to send you back to where you belong! "They said in unison once again.
Manta formed a dark energy ball in both hands, and a blackish ray of light shot up from it and flew towards the sky. The light turned into a bright, blinding yellowish-white light and hit the spirit monster.
"Cry from the Spirit Plane!! "Manta and the spirit yelled at once.
The spirit monster began to dissipate in the light (which disappeared when the land worm was gone), and everything suddenly turned back to normal.
Everyone was silent for a while, and the ghost left Manta's body. Manta collapsed onto the ground in exhaustion. The only person who dared to speak was Trey.
"So...does this mean that Manta's a shaman? "
