Chapter 7: One Hundred Ten Percent
Yoh and Anna both opened their eyes, and they saw that they were out of Hao's body at last. Hao banged his fist to the ground in anger, and quickly stood up.
"Time to get back to my body!" Yoh's spirit quickly flew back to its body and merged with it. "Now that Anna's back, we have no reason to stay here, lets go back!"
"Not so fast there Yoh" Hao held his sword and pointed it towards his brother. "As you can see, I am still standing, and that means I can still take her back!" Hao jumped up lunged towards Anna's spirit, but Yoh jumped right in between the two and blocked Hao.
"Anna get out of here!" Yoh asked her, she just nodded and moved out of the way.
"If you're not going to give her to me then I'll just have to beat you really badly!" Hao made multiple attacks towards Yoh, and Yoh barely blocked any of them. When Yoh and Hao fell towards the ground, Hao landed on his feet, and Yoh was already badly beaten up.
"Yoh!" everybody ran towards Yoh, but Hao slashed his sword towards them, creating a powerful shockwave.
"Yoh stand up!" Anna's spirit called out to him, but he remained on the ground because Hao was pining him using his foot.
"You know Anna, not having you around in my body at this very moment is quite useful" Hao grinned at Anna's ghost. "I can give all of you a taste of my 100 furyoku now that I'm not using 50 of it trying to make a barrier"
"If Anna's in Hao's body, he's powerful; but if Anna's not in Hao's body, he's still powerful…dude that's not fair!" Horohoro yelled at Hao, but Hao just ignored it.
"Yoh! Stand up!" Amidamaru was still in the sword, but Yoh could barley move because he was too drained.
"It's too bad your furyoku is running low; and unfortunately for you; I still have some" Hao put more weight on the foot he is using to pin down Yoh, he winced in pain as a result of the action. "So Anna, why don't we make a deal; you will go back to my body, then I'll leave Yoh and the rest of his friends alone…"
"And if I refuse…" Anna said in a cold tone.
"You know what will happen" Hao answered the spirit.
Anna looked at Hao in anger. She was not given very good selection of choices. If she refuses, Hao might kill Yoh in front of her eyes; but if she goes back, Hao will still kill Yoh because she knows Yoh won't stop until he has her back…but…
"No!" Anna shouted, surprising Hao and everyone else excluding Yoh. "I won't allow you to take me or kill Yoh!"
"It's a nice answer, too bad it isn't one of the choices!" Hao almost killed Yoh with his sword if Ren hadn't jumped in and moved him aside. "You guys can be so annoying sometimes you know…"
"Do I always have to save you Yoh?" Ren let go of Yoh's shirt and dropped him to the ground.
"Thanks a lot buddy!" Yoh happily smiled at Ren, but it was quickly wiped away when Hao tried to attack them.
"Yoh watch out!" Ren pushed Yoh aside safetly, but it was too late for Ren to dodge Hao's attack.
"Ren!" everyone stared at Ren, who was now on the ground. Bason left spirit control to try to aid his master who was just knocked out.
"Your turn Yoh!" Hao looked evilly at Yoh; everyone else was just too far away to try and save Yoh, and Yoh couldn't move because he was still pinned to the ground.
"Yoh!" Yoh suddenly found himself engulfed in a red light, and by instinct, moved aside before Hao had the chance to kill him. Yoh and everyone else were puzzled with what just happened; Yoh suddenly felt himself fill up with energy.
"Anna?" Yoh had found out that Anna had just performed spirit unity.
"What are you doing Yoh? Get up!" Anna commanded from within Yoh.
"I see that both of you were able to perform spirit unity" Hao said. "But what is the difference? You are all going to be beaten by me anyway!"
Hao attacked Yoh, but Yoh parried the attack; and with spirit unity, it wasn't as hard as before. In fact, Yoh felt more powerful, and a different type of energy surrounded him. It was different from Amidamaru's energy when both of them have spirit unity.
Everyone ran towards Hao to aid Yoh in battle; various techniques were used, and most of them were starting to lose their furyoku. The battle lasted longer than expected; Hao's energy matched the energy that the gang had left; he had to admit, they have gotten stronger, and I has been quite awhile since he fought along side with Spirit of Fire.
"What now Hao?" Anna said. "We've got you out numbered; and I sense that you're losing furyoku, and in a really fast pace"
Hao grinned at his brother, "But that does not mean I'm out…" Hao quickly slashed his sword towards Rio, making him lose spirit control, for the 5th time in this battle.
"I'm sorry master Yoh…but I don't think…I can fight anymore…" Rio collapsed on the ground after Hao finished him off.
"Ryo!" Horohoro looked at Tokageroh who was trying to make Rio wake up.
"Manta! Take Rio somewhere safe, we'll handle Hao!" Silva instructed Manta as he blocked another attack from Hao.
Pai Long jumped up and performed a diving attack which he used to knock out his other enemies; but unexpectedly, Hao grabbed his foot and roughly tossed him aside to the ground. In no time at all, Pai Long was out of commission; Jun was instructed to carry away Pai Long to a safe place. Jun did what she was told and lifted Pai Long; she carried him until she was in the spot where the unconcious Rio was.
"One down…seven more to go" Hao said calmly as he attacked Lyserg.
Lyserg was able to block the attack, but it won't be for long. His energy was draining, and Hao had more than him. Seeing that his opponent was showing signs of weakness, Hao quickly finished this battle by breaking Lyserg's spirit control; afterwards tossing him aside.
Lyserg tried to stand up, but he was too weak, "I'm too weak…I can't help anymore…sorry…" Those were his last words before he fainted; Manta carried him away to where Rio was, and Morphine was following them not very far behind.
"You're going to pay Hao!" Faust commanded Eliza to attack, but Hao was able to dodge it. He suddenly appeared behind Eliza and he punched her back really hard. Hao then moved in to attack Faust from behind. Faust lost spirit control again, and Eliza turned back into a skeleton.
"Faust fall back!" Yoh commanded Faust.
"But Yoh!" Faust refused to fall back.
"You're almost out of furyoku Faust!" Anna said. "We don't want to risk getting you hurt too. Try to aid Rio, Pai Long,and Lyserg before their injuries get any worse!"
"I understand!" Faust immediately retreated with Eliza. They went to the place where Manta was hiding Rio, Pai Long, Jun,and Lyserg from Hao.
Meanwhile on the battle field, the four remaining fighters stood up, ready to fight Hao. For Hao, the less enemies, the better, but right now, he is up against the four strongest ones on the team.
"Hao! We shall not forgive you for what you have done with our friends!" Silva said, attacking Hao in the process.
Hao parried the attack with his sword. He looked to his left and his right, and Ren and Horohoro were about to attack him in the sides while Silva distracts him. Hao knows that Yoh will probably attack from behind.
He pushed Silva back and jumped up before Ren, Horohoro, and Yoh hit him. Luckily for Ren and Horohoro, they were able to stop before they collided with each other.
"Wait…where's my brother?" Hao asked while he was in mid air. "He should've been…"
Before Hao finished his sentence, Yoh jumped in front of him and attempted to attack him. Unfortunately, Hao knew which side he was going to attack, so he positioned his sword to his right side in order to parry the attack; it was going to be hard to dodge attacks in mid air.
Yoh locked swords with Hao, just as expected. Yoh's left hand let go of the sword while his right hand held the sword. He tried to punch Hao on the side, but Hao did the same action and caught Yoh's fist before it hit him. Yoh then took the opportunity to kick Hao; Hao was unable to see that attack coming, so both of them went crashing to the ground.
"I have to say Yoh…" Hao stood up clutching his chest. "You are becoming unpredictable…"
"What did you think?" Yoh said. "That I am so predictable that you are confident that you can beat me?"
"Besides, Yoh is using a different spirit for spirit unity" Anna said. "And for your information, Amidamaru and I think differently!"
"I suppose you guys are right" Hao answered.
Ren was ready to slash Hao, but Hao caught his hand, "I thought you were already knocked out?"
"I am not to be taken lightly!" Ren tried to get lose from Hao's grip, but it was too tight. Hao used his two hands to grab Ren and toss him to Horohoro.
"Two for the price of one" Hao evaded another attack from Silva. "Your turn Silva!"
Hao ran towards Silva, and fortunately for him, Silva doesn't have enough furyoku to use his special attack. Hao moved in for the kill, and broke Silva's armor and spirit control.
"Three more to go…" Hao said as he looked at his opponents straight in the eyes. "Yoh, Anna, Amidamaru, Horohoro, Kororo, Ren, and Bason…"
"There may be three of us left…" Horohoro said in between huffs. "But we're going to make sure you get finished off!"
"Is that so?" Hao smirked. "Let's just see who shall win!"
Horohoro used his Nippopo punch against Hao, but he counter attacked it. Ren used his Golden Lightning technique, Hao jumped up to avoid the ground attack. When Hao jumped up, Yoh jumped up as well.
While still in mid air, Yoh and Hao began clashing swords as they slowly began to fall towards the sandy ground.
"I won't lose!" Hao kept slashing his sword.
"I can't risk losing either!" Yoh blocked Hao's sword attacks while trying to attack at the same time.
"Yoh won't lose Hao!" Anna said. "Let's finish him off now!"
"We will finish you off with our 110 attack power!" Yoh and Anna said in unison.
Yoh was able to make an attack that caused Hao to flinch. It was now or never ever; Yoh raised his sword and summoned up all his furyoku on this one last final attack. "HALO BLADE!" When the two fell to the ground after Yoh launched his final attack, and the field got covered in smoke.
"Who won?" Manta asked curiously as they all waited for the smoke to clear.
The smoke was starting to clear, and you could see an image of one of the twins standing up, while the other one was on the ground.
The smoke cleared, and the one who was standing was…
