Chapter 4: Ren and Hao
Back in Renland (Ren's camp), "Horo Horo, the bags go there, baka." "Stop calling me baka!" "would you prefer 'shit head'?" "Baka is fine." "It's hot in this cabin. I'm going for a walk." said Ren. "Come back soon!" called Horo Horo. "Good. Unspoiled wilderness. It's not that often you see this nowadays. This planet is too defiled." As he said that, he was pulled into a hollow tree. "Hello Ren" said Hao. Ren would have called for Bason, but he was knocked out before he could.
"Yoh, are you awake?" said Tai. "That's it." The yellow-haired shaman jumped up on the top bunk only to be surprised by what he saw. "What the-aaahh!!" Tai fell off the top bunk. That woke Yoh up. "Tai! What the hell are you doing up here?" "I have a better question for you! What is she doing in your bunk?" "If you really must know, she is my fiancee." "nuh-uh!" "yep arranged marriage." "dude! she's hot" "that's what everyone I've met says." "Wait, did you say arranged marriage? Do you actually love her?" "Yes, I do. Now that you know, you are sworn to secrecy. Everyone else would have a field day with this." "Can she see Amidamaru?" "Everyone in this room can."
Ren woke up inside the hollow stump with Hao standing over him. "You're awake." "What do you want Hao?" "I need a puppet." Hao then proceeded to hypnotize Ren into a deep trance. "You will find and kill Yoh Asakura and take his spiritual yojimbo, Amidamaru. You will then deliver Amidamaru to me." commanded Hao. "Yes master Hao." said Ren in a dull monotone. "Now go and find Yoh. He should be at the big campfire any minute."
"Yay! Fire time!" said Tai. "Feeling better Anna?" The itako nodded in reply. Everyone took their seats so the fire could begin. Suddenly, a white sphere flew into the fire. A sleeping gas bomb. It knocked everyone except Yoh, Anna, Manta, and Tai out. "VORPAL DANCE!!!!!" yelled Ren. His attack missed and sliced the nearest canoe rack cleanly in half. Yoh found two scrap metal poles. "INTEGRATE! AMIDAMARU!" Yoh stood in the stance that made Amidamaru famous. It was a shaman standoff. "Holy shit!! This is the first time I've seen a shaman fight." said Tai. "This isn't going to be pretty if it goes anything like last time they fought" said Manta "Wait look at his Ren's eyes! He's under mind-control or something." observed Anna.
"What do you want, Ren?" asked Yoh. "I'm under orders to take your samurai spirit!" answered Ren. "Oh, not this bullshit again." said Yoh. "GO BASON!!!!!" yelled Ren, armed with his kwon dao. "READY AMIDAMARU?" called Yoh, still in Amidamaru's special stance.
"HYAAAAAAHHH!!!!!" was the battle cry that arose from both shamans as they charged at each other, weapons ready to strike.
