Chapter 2: Practice
The next day went on as normal as could be expected. Breakfast was eggs, bacon, and soba. Morning chores and exercises were completed, and then shaman and ghost were ready for the event at the park. They got to the designated area 15 minutes early so they could do a few warm-up exercises. Then, at precisely 12 o'clock noon, they saw Yuugi and his group approaching. Both groups respectfully bowed to each other. Yuugi started with his group,
"These are my friends and their guardian ghosts. This is my brother Yami and Black Paladin, Jounouchi and Flame Swordsman, Seto and Mina the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Ryou and Dark Necrofear and his brother Bakura with Dark Ruler Ha Des, and finally Malik with Makyura the Destructor. We're all pleased to meet you."
Yoh introduced his group,
"Yuugi already met him, but this is Manta and Mosuke, Lenny and Bason, Ryu and Tokogero, Horo Horo and Kori, Jun and Lee Bailong, and Silva with his Eagle spirit."
Now that everyone was introduced, they were just itching to try out their spirits and abilities. The opponents were: Yoh vs. Yami, Yuugi vs. Manta, Seto vs. Lenny, Ryu vs. Jounouchi, Horo Horo vs. Ryou, Jun vs. Bakura, and Silva vs. Malik. Yoh and Yami take their positions and call forth their ghosts. Yoh starts the match and has Amidamaru attack Black Paladin. Black Paladin uses his bladed staff to fend off Amidamaru, but Amidamaru counters with Harusame (Spring Rain). Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of fighting, Yami loses spirit control and loses the match.
"You fought extremely well and you earned this victory." said Yami. Yoh smiled calmly and said,
"Thank you."
The next match was between Yuugi and Manta. The battle was tiresome for both shamans because Mosuke and Mahaad were evenly matched. Then, Yuugi used all of his furioku to break Manta's spirit control. Thus, Yuugi won that round.
Seto and Lenny's match, however, was very brief. Seto's Blue-Eyes Mina made quick work of Bason. Nobody from Yuugi's group was surprised.
Jounouchi and Ryu's battle was almost a snoozer. For a while, it was completely one-sided with Jounouchi gaining the upper hand. Then, Tokogero, miraculously, performs his special lizard style technique and bags the match.
Horo Horo's match was done even before it started because Kori was too scared of Dark Necrofear, so Ryou won by default.
Now the match between Jun and Bakura was interesting to say the least. Just when everyone thought one was gaining the upper hand, the other takes control. It finally ended in a draw.
Finally, the last match was between Malik and Silva. Malik used Makyura to attack Silva's eagle spirit, but it dodges and attacks from above. Using an ice beam from its mouth, Silva's spirit freezes Makyura in solid ice. So, Malik forfeits.
After the matches were done, everyone went out to eat at Burger World. Even the ghosts tried take-out for the first time. It was actually kind of funny when Bailong tried to drink a soft drink, but it leaked from his neck. After that, everyone said goodbye and headed home. At the Kame Game Shop, Grandpa asked to see Yuugi privately.
"What is it, grandpa?" said Yuugi.
His grandfather had a look of concern on his face. Then, he spoke,
"Yuugi, I have had another vision and it does not bode well. An evil force will try to take over not only the living world, but the spirit world as well. If we do not stop them, the world will fall into darkness, forever."
Cool, shamans everywhere!!! Please R&R
