Dragon Ball Spirits

Episode 17: Kurama's Heart

Yoko and Hiei stare each other down, powering up and taking a stance.

"Hiei, I know all your moves and what kind of power you have."

"Than you know exactly how I will defeat you."

"Aren't we a cocky little bastard? You'll have to meet my pet."

A few small plants around Hiei sprout into blades and swipe at him. Hiei dodges each one and runs right at Yoko.

"You idiot what are you doing?!"

"You don't feel like using that plant when I'm this close do you. Kurama don't let this fool control you!"

"Shut up! Kurama is gone."

Kurama starts to talk to Yoko from the inside.

"Oh really?"

"What?! You can't be talking!"

"But I am. I am you. You couldn't exist without me. You yourself are just a spirit of the past."

"Leave me alone stupid human!"

Hiei rushes Yoko and unleashes punch after punch at him. The two continue to fight as Kurama and Yoko talk in his mind.

"Damn you all."

"Yoko, you didn't use to be like this. You didn't attack our friends like this back at the Dark Tournament."

"I'm tired of fighting battles for those weaklings."

"For a weakling, Hiei seems to have the upper hand."

"That's what you think."

White flames burst from Yoko's body and knock Hiei back and burning his arms badly.

"Damn that burns."

"You just watch Kurama. I'll burn this little midget alive."

"No stop!"

"What!? Stop resisting me!"

"I won't let you kill Hiei!"

Suddenly, Yusuke kicks Yoko in the head, sending him crashing into the ground.

"You'll pay for that human."

"Your forgetting that I'm also a Saiyan and that I'm willing and able to kick your ass."

"Stay out of this Yusuke! I'm the one who defeat him!"

"You can't with your arms burnt like that."

"Don't tell me what I can't do!"

"Let's attack him together."

"Hey what about me!"

"Shut up Kuwabara! He'll deep fry you! We'll handle this!"

"You're always handling things without me!"

"Let's go!"

Yusuke and Hiei attack Yoko together and force him back.

"I can't keep this up!"

"They'll probably kill you and wish me back with the dragon balls."

"Shut up! Shut up!"

"Give up. You can't win. You and I have the same body and soul."

"Never!"

"Than I have no choice."

"What are you doing?!"

"I'll take us to the battlefield of souls, the heart."

Suddenly, Yoko faints and a bluish aura surrounds him.

"I see, he's taken him to the battlefield of the soul."

"What the hell is going on Hiei?"

"Kurama and Yoko are having an internal struggle for control of their soul. The person with the strongest will wins and becomes the dominant mind."

Old Kai and Kibitokai come out from behind the rocks.

"Well I guess I brought this upon us."

"Don't blame yourself elder. You didn't know something like this would happen."

Inside of Yoko's mind he faces Kurama and both of them start to fight.

"Rose whip!"

Kurama whips at Yoko mercilessly and knocks him down.

"What's going on?! I can't summon a plant or feel my demon energy!"

"Your soul is tainted with darkness and because of that you are weak in this realm. Only those who have a clean soul can use their full power."

"Damn you Kurama!"

"I'm sorry Yoko. I didn't want to kill you but I must to protect my friends."

Kurama throws a seed into one of Yoko's wounds and it sprouts and starts to squeeze Yoko.

"I'll see you in hell Kurama!"

Yoko's body goes limp and then Yoko's body rises from the ground.

Hiei steps forward ready to fight.

"Are you Yoko or Kurama?"

"There's no need to worry. I have subdued him and I'm in complete control."

Kurama reverts back to his human form.

"Well, shall we go back home? I think we've trained enough."

Old Kai holds up his hands and teleports them all back to Earth.

"Their power has grown so much, but will they be able to defeat the new enemy that awaits?"

What is this new enemy Elder Kai is talking about? Find out in the next exciting saga of Dragon Ball Spirits, the Spirit Saiyan Saga.
