Same Ground Ch. 11

0000000000000000000000000

Pull back guys! Aridas and the rest of the group jumped to the side as the 'Super-sized' Kouki threw a fist at the ground, making a huge crater.

"Hey saru, try helping us here for a change!" Ianna yelled at Goku.

"I'm doing my best here, woman! And I'm not a monkey!" Goku yelled as his dragon whipped its tail at Zenki. The huge shikigami put its hand up in defense, catching the dragon's tail before throwing it and Goku to the ground.

"Hey Aridas, try helping us instead of waiting there!" Goku said.

We are waiting for a chance to get in the defense! It's the only way to do this faster! Both Aridas and Griffyn said in combined voices.

"Sheesh, ya don't have to be that mad…release you true forms, Hikari and Hikaru! After that Hikari and Hikaru, into Nyoibou!" Goku's dragon split apart into two white dragons. Both of the dragons integrated with Goku's Nyoibou as he landed on the ground. The pistol still glowed with furyoku.

"Finally you let me split with those mangy dragons…" the 'pistol' said.

"Wow, Goku's pistol can talk!" Horo said. Then a ghost appeared right in front of Horo. The ghost had blonde hair, a monk's attire, had a fan in one hand and had something that looked like green chanting papers that rested on the shoulders.

"I'M NO TALKING PISTOL, YOU BLUE BOY!" the ghost yelled.

"S-Sanzo, stop yelling, we're in a battle right now…" Goku sweat dropped.

"Urusai, bakasaru, I'm already coming…" Sanzo said as he entered the pistol and Goku started shooting various places in the Kouki's body, though it did not penetrate the body.

"What the heck?" Goku mumbled. Then another ghost appeared. The ghost was wearing blue vest and bandanna, baggy pants and its eyes and hair were red.

"You bakasaru, don't aim for Kouki, aim for the other one!" the ghost yelled.

"Now you stay outta this, Gojyo!" Goku yelled.

"Shut up bakasaru and start fighting!" Sanzo yelled. Yet again, another ghost appeared. The ghost was somewhat sophisticated, wearing a green Chinese-collar shirt (A/N: that's at least what I think it is) and headband, a white sash, beige khakis and a monocle. A small white dragon was using the ghost's shoulder as a perch.

"Ma, ma, minna-san…" the ghost said as the white dragon "kyuued."

"What? Hakkai…" Goku whined.

"If you there don't stop arguing things will get worse for us," Hao said blocking Zenki's attack.

"Fine already! Hakkai, Hyoi Gattai!" Hakkai changed to spirit ball and integrated with Goku. Goku then let go of Nyoibou and the two dragons of light. Hakkai, through Goku, fired a beam from his hand and blasted Kouki off.

"We already gave you the chance, Aridas! Go now before she does something else!" Hakkai, Goku and Sanzo shouted as they broke Hyoi Gattai and spirit control. Aridas nodded and flew up into the air. Before he could get close to where Anna was Zenki punched Aridas sending him to Ren and Horo, making them fall down on top of Hao.

"Next time think before you act, kisama!" Len said. Aridas got off them and hovered a bit.

Can you guys cover me? He asked.

"Yeah, we will, now go, Otouto!" Hao said. Aridas nodded as he folded the wings and dove up at Zenki's shoulder, the sword glowing out of proportion and covering his hand. Zenki punched Aridas but he snapped the wings open at the right time and Len and Horo blocked the hit with their big oversouls. Hao, on the other hand on the SoF, followed Aridas.

Where are you going? Aridas questioned.

"I'm going to where Yoh is; I sense something dangerous where he is. I need to help him," Hao said. Aridas nodded as Hao quickly left.

Aridas then clasped the wings again and dove up faster at Anna with the sword engulfed in an aura of a black wolf, even if his ghosts were dragons. Griffyn covered Aridas with black and white dragon armor as his eyes changed to a gold color, then glowing amber.

Wolf's Crusader! A strong black force hit Anna, which sent her falling. Len then finished Zenki off as Goku caught Anna before she fell to the ground and pinned her there. Horo and Len disengaged their big oversouls as Aridas landed silently as the armor and black aura disappeared.

Len and Silva, help Goku pin Anna down, Aridas said as they both complied. Aridas then drew a pentacle on the ground and turned to Sanzo.

Are you ready, Sanzo? He asked him.

"Ready than ever, you wolf boy," Sanzo said as he integrated with Aridas. Both Sanzo and Aridas chanted an incantation as a green aura surrounded both the pentacle and Anna.

At the moment he said started chanting those words Anna started to struggle out of Goku, Len and Silva's grip. Ianna soon joined in and grabbed her arm. She traced the sign in where the talisman had entered her and chanted a few words as Anna continued to struggle out of their grips violently.

Horo, stand in the circle now! Aridas said. Horo ran to the circle as Aridas, at the same time, disintegrated with Sanzo and came out of the circle. At the moment Horo came into the circle Sanzo integrated with him forcefully, not allowing Horo control of his body. He then started chanting the same incantation he did with Aridas.

Aridas quickly went to Anna, put his hands near the sides of her head, closed his eyes and chanted something as Ianna started to pull out something slowly from out of Anna's hand; something black and red.

"…Makai Tenjyou!" (Purify the evil) Sanzo yelled as Ianna quickly pulled the thing out; a talisman with the kanji that meant "Curse of the Light." The aura around the pentacle and Anna disappeared as Anna had been knocked out and Horo fell down on the ground on bended knee.

"Whoa…what the hell was that…that took everything outta me…" Horo panted as Sanzo disintegrated with him.

"Aridas…take a look what he put inside her…" Ianna said trembling. Aridas still concentrated on Anna but after a moment he let his hands drop and panted silently.

I know exactly what that vile beast put into her! That drajl better not do the same thing to them… (Spawn of maggots) Aridas mumbled the last part quietly and looked at Ianna seriously.

You can do it, right? Aridas questioned.

"Of course I can! What makes you think I can't do it!" Ianna yelled.

"Ouch…now that's one feisty woman…" Sanzo whispered to Goku.

That's good then. Morty, you must stay here with Ianna-dono. It's for the best. Aridas said. Morty nodded as Aridas turned to the rest.

We must go quickly now; my brothers need our help.

"Right!" they said as they followed Aridas further.

Yoh darted after Kage as he started to lose sight of him. He quickly lost Kage and his breath as he tried catching it.

"…D…Darn…l…lost h…him…" Yoh panted hard, looking at the ground.

"End of the line Asakura!" a voice said.

"You will meet your doom here!" another voice said. He looked up and saw Qingmaru and Shinmaru looking down at him. Behind them, was Morzan in spirit control. He flew past the goofy double pointing a revolver (His hand) at Yoh's head.

"Any last words, shaman king?" Morzan said coldly. Yoh could do nothing at this moment; he was out of breath and energy. The only thing he can do was look at the revolver blankly as he lost hope of ever living to see Anna.

"I guess not then. Whatever you were going to say you can repeat it in the remorse place in the spirit world!" Morzan laughed coldly preparing to shoot.

'Don't let your emotions take the best of you! If you do, it will be you who will be dead and what will be of Anna?' Yoh remembered the words Aridas said as he subconsciously grabbed the revolver and pushed it back. What really happened was that Yoh grabbed Morzan's hand-revolver and pushed him to the Maru brothers hard, sending the three of them to a rock wall. He continued running.

Yoh panted faster and harder than before, stopping. His heart, for some reason, was hammering harder and faster as if he had a heart attack. The next thing he felt was extreme pain where his hand was. He pulled his hand out to find a faint cut on it. He looked at where his hand originally was and saw a black talisman with the kanji that meant "blackheart." He looked up and saw Kage and Shruikan.

"Aw, tired already?" he said grabbing another talisman and, without warning, threw it into Yoh.

"That should give you strength," he said but soon jumped away as Yoh failed to slash him.

"Where is Draikiel Amadius?" Yoh demanded angrily as he blocked Kage's sword.

"The one you call Draikiel Amadius is no more," he said calmly as he pushed his blade hard on Yoh's blade.

"He never existed in the first place just like you never existed though you're still here. Maybe it's the one who only called you 'brother' who shouldn't exist," he continued quickly taking his 'spear' out and putting more pressure on Yoh's blade. Yoh kicked Kage on the stomach, turning the tables on Kage.

"You mean Aridas? He exists! Hao even knows it! He was the one who killed Aridas!" Yoh protested as he pushed down on Kage's blade. Kage laughed silently.

"What's so funny?" Yoh hissed.

"Oh, nothing…it's just that what Hao and Aridas told…was a lie," Kage whispered.

"What?" Yoh said silently.

"I don't blame Hao, though. I erased that memory. Hao didn't kill Aridas. I killed him. Hao and Ianna were only witnesses of his murder and I erased that memory of me killing him and changed it into Hao killing Aridas. In the end, Hao and Ianna defeated me but before I perished I managed to kill Hao and erase that memory as well," he said throwing Yoh off balance and pinned him on the ground, turning the tables again.

"I know you don't believe me so I'll give you the chance to see the memory," Kage continued putting his hand on Yoh's head quickly.

Author's notes: I might take longer in updating due to some stuff and I just want to put this quote here:

Syn: Kuya, Kuya! (Brother, brother)

Len: Ano, Syn? (What Syn?)

Syn: Gusto ko makita ang mga bituin! Gusto ko ngayon, ngayon, NGAYON! (I want to see the stars! I wanna now, now, NOW)

Len: (Gets mad) -Grabs a parol (Star lantern) and jams it on Syn's head- Ayun, makita mo na ang mga bituin. (There, now you're seeing stars)–Len and Syn Arganto at my house during Christmas

Yeah if you don't get that, review me but I'm sure any of the Filipinos reading this can understand this… R& R peeps!
