I updated as soon as I could so that we can finally finish this story, but do note that this isn't the last chapter. I did some major changes in the first few chapters. I removed all the American dubbed names, attacks, and techniques. I also removed their OOCness, so everyone should probably be normal.

ooooo

Chapter 11: Shaman Showdown: Final Oversoul

Yoh and Silver Wing landed in the area where they were at. They were at near the largest lake of Funbari, the park they were in was a little smaller than their previous battle area, but it was wide enough to fight in.

"I'm glad you made it Yoh…" Yoh looked around to find none other than Hao. He saw Anna being held tightly in one of the hands of Spirit of Fire. "Don't you think it's better with just the two of us here, no rain, no wind, no allies."

"When Ren, Horohoro, and the others are done fighting the elemental spirits, they'll come here and we'll finish you off!" Yoh said as he and Amidamaru formed their giant sword. "HALO BLADE!" Yoh slashed forward as Hao intercepted the attack with Spirit of Fire's flame.

"Aahhh!" Ren was just blown back by the Spirit of Wind. He made Bason stand back up and they attack mercilessly.

"Ice Breath!" Horohoro ordered Kororo to freeze the Spirit of Water. They were successful at first, but Spirit of Water just broke out of the glacier it was in, shattering the ice façade into a million tiny glaciers which aimed at Horohoro.

Chocolove and Mic had no luck either as they tried to slash Spirit of Wood with the help of Ryu. It kept on using thorny and thick vines to wrap itself around the giant Mic's foot and Tokageroh's tires.

Faust, Eliza, and Lyserg were fighting with Spirit of Metal. Silva and the rest of Yoh's friends fought Spirit of Earth. None of them seemed to be showing signs of victory.

"This isn't working guys…" Lyserg said as his giant oversoul was hit by Spirit of Metal. "If we fight them individually, our strength goes down slightly below their strength."

"So if we fight one Spirit at a time together, then we just might beat them in time" Faust said as he made Eliza hold Spirit of Metal still.

"Let's start with Spirit of Wind!" Horohoro and the others left their opponent and charged towards Spirit of Wind.

"Aaaaahhhh!" Yoh was sent flying in the air because of Hao's attack. He landed saftely on the ground and took a minute to catch his breath as he fell to his knees.

"You're weak without you're so called friends Yoh" Hao said as he made Spirit of Fire walk towards Yoh. "You are dependent on the strength of others and I find it pathetic that you can't fight on your own." Spirit of Fire tightened his grip on Anna, making her wince in pain. "If you want to save her, you can either give in to me or defeat me."

"I think I'll choose the second choice!" Yoh said as he tried to slash Spirit of Fire's leg. He was successful, but to Spirit of Fire, it was nothing more than a simple paper cut. Spirit of Fire kicked Yoh away as if he were irrelevant. Despite being beaten and tossed on the ground, Yoh managed to stand up and fight back.

"Just because someone is dependent or independent, that doesn't mean they are weak" Yoh managed to hit Spirit of Fire a few times. "You draw strength from yourself and only yourself. My friends and I also draw strength from ourselves and only ourselves, we just combine our individual efforts to make a bigger mass of strength."

"Like I care…" Hao jumped up and kicked Yoh back down on the ground. "Friendship messes with your emotions and emotions mess with your power!"

"Wrong Hao!" Yoh jumped up and did a Halo Blade attack at Hao, which was intercepted by Hao's own attack. "Your emotions strengthen you because you are driven to do something you have to achieve. All humans that exist have emotions whether they are positive or negative. Even the most heartless person that you know has emotions."

Hao just attacked Yoh, ignoring what he said earlier. He landed behind Yoh and stood to face Hao. Hao jumped back a short distance with a fireball in his hand, he shot several of these at Yoh, who were able to dodge and block a few of them.

In the other side of Funbari…

"This doesn't look good…" Ryu said as he and the others looked up at their opponent. They were able to beat Spirit of Wind, water, and earth, but just when they were about to finish Spirit of Metal, the three spirits that they defeated awhile ago came back to life. The five Spirits combined to form one single spirit; Water took form of the head while metal took form of the upper body. Wood took form of the legs, wind took form of the arms, and Earth took form of a giant axe.

"What do we do now?" Lyserg asked while catching his breath.

"Simple, we fight them and defeat them" Ren answered as he stood up. "Then we'll catch up with Yoh and beat Hao!"

"Then we'll go home for a nice dinner!" Horohoro said as they gave it their all in this battle, hopefully, one that they will win. "Looks like you'll have to wait for us a little longer, Yoh."

Hao clashed his sword with Yoh's giant sword and pushed him back. "I have no time to play with you any more Yoh…I think it's time we finish this."

Spirit of Fire suddenly grabbed Yoh with its free hand and brought him to Hao. "You lose little brother…" Spirit of Fire's hand started heating up and in seconds stated burning Yoh slowly.

"YOH!" Anna couldn't do anything but watch Yoh yell in pain as he is slowly burned by Spirit of Fire.

"See how powerful I am Anna?" Hao said. "I'm giving you one last chance, join me and you'll have an easy life."

"I'll never join you Hao!" Anna tried to get free from Spirit of Fire's grasp, but she still didn't have any energy left, she was drained.

"Very well" Hao said, and with a snap of his fingers, Spirit of Fire started burning Anna too. "Then you shall die together with your fiancée. Anyone who opposes me shall perish."

"I don't think so!" A voice called out, entering afterwards was a strong rain which was enough to put out the fire burning Yoh and Anna. It was Horohoro and the rest of the gang. "Have you met our new friends?"

Hao couldn't believe his eyes, for the elemental spirits that he used to control were being used by Yoh's friends. Pirika and Horohoro and were standing on the shoulder of Spirit of Water and his snowboard had Kororo in it.

"Did you think you can actually beat us with your ex-henchmen?" Ren had Bason in his sword and Jun was with Pai Long, both were standing on the shoulder of the Spirit of Wind.

"Looks like you're all alone again Hao!" Chocolove and Lyserg were standing on Spirit of Earth. Silva, Faust, and Eliza were on Spirit of Wood, while Ryu, Tamao, and Manta were on Spirit of Metal.

"How did you guys?" Hao was speechless at the moment. He remembered that if an elemental spirit is defeated, then the one who defeated it will be its master for as long as they want. In this case, since the elemental spirits combined, that means that all of Yoh's friends are their masters. "I don't care how many you guys are, I can fight alone and I will defeat all those who rebel against me!"

Hao was starting to get angry, he wasn't going to let them win no matter what. The hand that spirit of Fire was using to hold Yoh was cut of by Ryu and Chocolove; Yoh landed on the ground safely. Now they were trying to slash the hand that Spirit of Fire was using to hold Anna. The free hand and Hao just blocked all attempted attacks.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Hao was already ordering Spirit of Fire to burn each and every one of his opponents, but he was outnumbered. "You are all making me fume, so it looks like I have to use my full power!" Hao put his hand on Spirit of Fire, who grew larger and more powerful. "Now you shall get what you deserve. Ring Meteor Inferno!" Thousands of flaming meteors fell and plummeted towards the shamans who were unable to evade the attacks.

"Let's go guys, we won't let a few meteors stop us!" Yoh said as a thousand more meteors fell from the sky. "Okay…it's not a few meteors…but we'll still beat him!"

"I find you guys very persistent, especially you Yoh!" Hao said. As he floated above the lake so that he can get a clear shot of Yoh. "Hellfire shot!" Blue fire balls started shooting towards Yoh. He stopped running at the edge of the lake and evaded all of Hao's attacks. He managed to fire a Celestial Slash to intercept the blue fireballs and hit Spirit of Fire. It growled as he received the shot and accidentally opened his closed fist.

"ANNA!" Yoh watched Anna fall towards the water and sink. Before he jumped in the water, a blazing fire went between him and the lake.

"Let's see you save her now Yoh!" Hao used his technique, "Ring of Fire!" to make Yoh fall back. The attack was stopped by Spirit of Water, Kororo, and Spirit of Wind."

"Go Yoh!" Horohoro signaled him. He nodded and jumped into the water.

He saw downwards as fast as he could to save Anna. He finally saw a clear image of her trying to move.

'I don't have enough energy to swim to the surface…' Anna said, her vision slowly blurring. She saw Yoh swimming downwards to her, but by the time she could get a clear image of him, she ran out of air and closed her eyes.

Yoh's eyes widened and he saw even faster. He was able to reach Anna, so he tried to swim up. He realized that he won't make it because he was running out of air as well. He had an idea, he used his giant sword to shoot up to the surface.

Yoh landed beside the Spirit of Metal and fell down on the ground, both he and Anna were coughing out the water that came into their lungs.

"Are you guys alright?" Jun asked.

"Yes, we're fine…" Yoh coughed, still not letting Anna go. "How about you Anna?"

"Yeah I'm fine…" she said while taking in some air. Tamao and Pirika ordered Spirit of Metal to take Anna from the ground.

Yoh smiled, knowing for sure that Anna was in safe hands. He ran towards Hao, avoiding the attacks that he made.

Yoh raised his sword and started focusing his Furyoku on it. Yoh's friends gave up all their Furyoku and transferred them into Yoh's Nidanbaiki. He was getting all the strength and Furyoku he needed to defeat Hao. The elemental spirits started fading away slowly as they entered the Nidanbaiki. Yoh already had a great amount of Furyoku that could match Hao's Furyoku.

All the power and Furyoku he received enabled Amidamaru and Yoh to transform in to their next level of Oversoul. A bright light started shinning and it engulfed Yoh like a cocoon. In a few short moments, the light started fading and Yoh emerged out of it.

"What the…?" Hao and everyone else looked in amazement at Yoh. A bright blue light that was surrounding Yoh took shape of an armor. The bright armor had two sets of wings at the back; one pair took form of dragon shaped wings while another pair took shape of an angel's wings; the back also consisted of two tail both resembling Harusame. Yoh held one Nidanbaiki at each hand and his chest was covered with a cross chest armor. The only part that wasn't covered in armor was his head, his left arm, and his right leg.

"That's the most powerful oversoul that a shaman can form!" Silva exclaimed.

"It's called Spirit of the Light Armor" Anna said weakly as Pirika made her lean back on the neck of Spirit of Metal. "It is a combination of both Hyo Gattai and oversoul. The second shaman king is the first one to use this technique; and now Yoh is the second one to use it."

Yoh lunged forward Hao and locked swords with him. His great power forced Hao to be pushed back. Hao angrily attacked Yoh back, who was standing calmly in front of him.

Yoh raised his two Nidanbaikis and combined both of them to form one giant sword. He waited for Hao to attack him, then he would strike. When Hao was close enough, he jumped up towards him and gave all his energy into this one final attack. "Spirit Blade Cross Wing Slash!"

A white light in form of a phoenix flew towards Hao and Spirit of Fire to engulf them in light. "I…I…" Hao was speechless, for he was defeated by Yoh for the third time. He smiled at Yoh, Anna, and his friends. "I guess I will never defeat the Shaman King in this life time. His friends, his Furyoku, his fiancée, his main spirit, and his willpower gives him overwhelming power, something that even darkness cannot silence. I shall wait for another five hundred years for the next Shaman tournament, and I'll see whether the next Shaman King is worthy of his/her throne and title or not. Goodbye then, Yoh Asakura…"

The white light completely engulfed Hao and Spirit of Fire; the five remaining elemental spirits flew out of the Spirit of The Light Armor and in to the white light. The strange white light engulfed all the Spirits and Hao, and in a few moments, disappeared.

Hao was nowhere in sight and so were the five elemental spirits. The armor that Yoh was wearing disappeared and Amidamaru was already out of Harusame. Everyone was on the ground of the park, silent and drained; they were all okay, it was over, and most of all, Anna was going to be just fine.

Yoh looked at the clock in the park which read 1:00 am. He smiled and dropped to the ground and fell fast asleep.
