Eh chapter 11's here I'd appriciate a review seeing as this fanfiction has well over 300 hits -.- and about 30 or so per chapter...
and again a chapter's formatting is ruined by and it only messes up more when I try to fix it.
A few weeks had passed and Blake and Christine got woken up to the annoying ringing to Blake and Christie's oraclebells.
"The info on the next round is here!" Blake said happily
"Tomorrow at two pm we will be meeting at the Yokocha American Air base in Tokyo" Christine read off her oraclebell
"AWESOME! You think we might be going to America?" Blake asked
"Maybe." Christine said she was hoping they wouldn't go to America she didn't want to run into any of her family members namely Jenna
"It does say we might not come back." Blake said looking slightly concerned
"We have to go though, and since we'll be leaving I think I should put everything we won't need into a storage building and pay for 6 months on it." Christine said
The two spent that day getting everything ready finally it was the last trip they'd make for the day Christine was so tired "Too bad checkout is at 11 am tomorrow I was hoping we could sleep in a bit."
"You always want to sleep in." Blake laughed
"Why's the door unlocked?" Christine said once the two got back to their room
"Nothing's missing or anything." Blake said as he stepped in
"Maybe house keeping came by and forgot to lock up." Manny said
"More than likely." Christine said letting herself flop on her bed when she landed on something "OW, what the heck?" she pulled the covers back to find a sward with an envelope attached to it.
"What's it say?" Blake asked
Dear Christine,
I am pleased to see that the past few years have treated you well
you've gotten stronger, made friends and maybe even more,
if your parents or Stella could see you now I know they'd be
pleased with eh choices you've made. I've been keeping an
eye on you since you came to Japan and I thought it was time
to give you this sward, it used to belong to Elizabeth and I'm
sure there's plenty she can tell you about it, it's been renewed
a bit to make it useful for yourself in battle. I've also places
5,000 American dollars inside of this envelope to help you
along the way, you'll probably be hearing more from me now
Only six months until you'll finally get to know who I am.
Best wishes,
A friend
"Elizabeth is this really what used to be your sward?" Christine asked
"Well yes, I never thought I'd see it again though, I haven't seen for at least two generations of Weathers."
"At least now you have a proper weapon to oversoul with." Drotoro said smugly
"And kick Drotoro's ass." Manny said jokingly
Blake and Christine went to bed pretty early that night so they could leave that morning and have the time to find out how to get to the air base. Luckily the two made it there right at two.
"Jeze there's a lot of shaman's over here." Christine said
"BLAKE CHRISTINE!" a child's voice yelled
"Makei!" Blake said looking to see the small shaman girl running towards them
"So you got through the other fight ok I see." Christine smiled
"They gave up, couldn't fight me." Makei said "But I've gotten a whole lot stronger, Blake I can't wait till we can fight again."
"Eh, me too." Blake said unsurely
"I have to find my parents now see ya later!" Makei chirped before running off
"YOU KNOW WE'D HELP YOU IF YOU WANTED!" Christine yelled after her
"NO I CAN DO IT!" she happily said back
"You know, for an eight-year-old, she's really kind of mature." Blake said
"Eh, must really be a prodigy." Christine said
Koncho started to growl a lot "Calm down Koncho you act like you're not used to being around people." Christine said
"No it's no that it's…" Koncho cut himself off
"What's crackin' you two, have a good hospital stay Blake?" an all to fimilaure voice of Charger Chester said
"That's none of your business." Blake said smugly
"Charger you really shouldn't hang around us too much." Drotoro said
"Hey chill I'm not here for a fight, just wanted to see how my favorite shamans are." Charger smiled "You're a ghost by the way you have no place to tell me where I can and can't go so don't even try."
Drotoro was obviously infuriated by what Charger had said to him
"Clam down hot-head." Elizabeth said quietly to Drotoro
"We, we don't have time to talk to you." Christine said throwing her head up in the air and turning her back to charger as the group started to walk away
"CAN'T AVOID ME FOREVER!" Charger yelled.
"Who's avoiding?" Blake said as he slowly turned around engaging an oversoul with Skya who quietly reminded Blake he shouldn't pick a fight
"Eh, don't feel like going at it today, maybe some other time." Charger laughed as he walked away
"That guy, I swear." Koncho growled
"Eh let's not worry with him today." Manny suggested
"Wow there's even food stands here." Blake said taking a good look around.
All of the sudden Christine got a weird feeling she hadn't had in a very long time.
"Hao's nearby!" She said
"Of course he'd get to the second round." Manny said grimly
"He's close I mean like within a few-" Christine was cut off
"Nearby." Christine turned to see Hao and a slightly failure face
"Jenna?"
"I'm shocked you remembered me after all this time, rat what I wouldn't I've to take you out right now." Jenna replied
"Big talk for a small slut." Blake said quietly Christine gave him a shocked expression almost a look of you just really messed up Jenna was overosuled and sent a huge blast straight at Blake
"You better choose your words better boy, and your girls, hang out with trash and you start to act like trash." Jenna said smugly
"Ah well I suppose I'll let you take care of this Jenna I want to go visit my brother." Hao laughed before walking off
"I honestly thought you'd end up dead in a ditch somewhere Christine, never expected you to be here of all places, oh well I suppose you'll be done away with soon enough."
Jenna earned a glare from Christine Blake and the ghosts but only laughed
"You sure are a pretty boy, don't let yourself get hurt messing around with affairs that don't concern you." Jenna ran her hand over Blake's face Blake was very wierded out and pretty mad, after all his looks were only average and Christine seemed to be fine company to him and who was this girl to tell him otherwise hanging around Hao like she was interested him he didn't want girl he wanted power she was an object to him and didn't seem to mind it one bit.
"Believe me." Blake took hold of Jenna's hand "I wouldn't mess around any girl as stuck up and pompous as yourself."
"Christine, you're really too quiet, isn't there lots of stuff you'd like to tell your cousin, you cleared the old bank account and didn't leave me a thing sadly I honestly hope you've had a good time with it" Jenna teased
"Hell no." Christine said "Because of you and your parents I've been stuck hiding out in Japan in hotel after hotel and it's a bit hard to learn Japanese off the internet because you can't go to a school because you don't want to be found. That money was rightfully mine, when my parents were killed they left their money and things to me, and when Aunt Stella got murdered her money was supposed to go to me as well, you all spent a good bit of that money on yourselves saying it was 'my rent to you'… RENT for a place I didn't even want to be at, then you were all going to just kill me and expect me to stay there and take that, I never asked for a problem with any of you, you all just hated me because of what said of the family I was born on."
"Heh, you've also got the cloak, isn't that called stealing deary?" Jenna said smirking
"Well so what if it is, at least I want to have it as a symbol of what the Weather's family could've been, too bad now the only male air is your dad after he's gone and we marry there won't be anyone to carry the Weather's name on, and the family's ending is partly to blame on the feud lasting all too long."
"Well I'll take that cloak back, family's losing money and I could auction that off for a really good price." Jenna said
"Screw that, this cloak didn't get passed down just for you to sell to the highest bidder, I think it was meant for me to have it, it's hard to describe the feeling and scene of pride I get from just holding it or wearing it, anyone who's a Weather's and doesn't know of that feeling is missing out, and doesn't know that there is no amount of money that could possibly pay for it."
"Aww, I'm touched" Jenna laughed "Well I suppose I'll get it from you later… even if I pry it from your cold bloody dead hands."
"Will you just walk away already, Or is this going to have to get ugly?" Drotoro growled "this is why the Weather's name has become such a low term, it's scum like you that deserve no better than to be six feet under and then some, you only think of the gains you can get not who you kill or who you steal from so long as you're as comfortable as possible, you'd sell out your brothers sisters mother and fathers if you could get to a better place in life with it, you sicken me."
"I'm so sorry you can only see things that way, I should probably go now and find the others, we all have to go find Hao-sama and get him back here he doesn't want to be late." Jenna turned and walked off
"You do know next time we cross paths with her we're kicking her ass." Blake said
"We'll do more than that." Christine said bitterly
The two walked around a bit longer before all the shamans were gathered around a huge place with 'Patch Plane' painted on the side among other things.
Goldva walked up to a patch-crafted microphone to speak
"This is specially prepared for contestants in the shaman fight, please accept our hospitality."
"What a bunch of retards, no wonder they don't have much money." A voice in the mix of Shamans said
"Everyone please aboard the Patch Plane enormous," Goldva continued "We'll send everyone to America's patch tribe location"
The plane ride seemed to take forever Blake seemed oddly happy about it "Oh man that Tao kid should be on here, and that Asakura kid maybe we'll meet them."
"I don't know Blake, didn't Hao say he was going to see a brother earlier?" Christine asked
"Yeah but if the other Asakura boy really is his bro he still seems to be a way better person that Hao, I so want to meet him."
"Well with the size of this plane if I were you I wouldn't keep my hopes up, besides knowing you you'd be like the 'Oh my god we shook hands I'm never washing my hand again' type." Koncho said
After a good long time Goldva finally made an announcement
"We are currently 40,000 feet above us land, the village of the Patch tribe is 1,200 km away, starting from now on, everybody please get there by yourself, we will only wait for 3 months. We will not tell any of you how to get there. Please remember a shaman fight is the coloseum for the amount of Furyoko, in that case round one begins, the objective of round one is to arrive at Patch village within 3 months. Please hold on to your things once this message is over we 10 tribesmen will disappear."
All the sudden the plane completely vanished, for Christine already being afraid of heights and having to be in a plane was bad enough but now she was in a free fall 40,000 feet from the ground. Blake had somehow managed to get a hold of Christine's hand right as the fall started.
"Blake I swear to god if we die like this…" Christine said
"We'll be fine we just have to figure out a non-deadly way to hit the ground from 40,000 feet in the air." Blake said slightly smiling hoping Christine wouldn't freak out too much on him.
"Hey check out Hao!" Manny said Blake looked over to see Hao using his oversoul "He's going to make the landing easier I think!" Koncho said
"That's it!" Blake said excitedly "Christine engage an oversoul into the cloak and I'll engage one into my knife
"O-ok!" Christine replied
"And get it fast I can see the ground!" Blake said
Christine did as Blake said but couldn't seem to keep her eyes open the next thing she realized she was on the ground.
"BALKE BLAKE BLAKE! WE DID IT WE SURVIVED!" she said happily
"See told ya' so." Blake said camly
"But where do we go now?" Christine asked
"Eh, umm I don't know we'll figure it out eventually right?" Blake said
a few days had passed Blake and Christine had went around a few towns and no one seemed to know of anywhere called Patch Village.
"Ug, this has to the the nuttiest thing ever." Blake said
"Well of course they wouldn't make it easy but we still have 3 months and we'll find it." Christine said
"It's getting late I guess we should find a place to stay for a while." Blake pulled Christine down to sit on a nearby bench
"Yeah, but we only have so much money, I figured it wouldn't be wise to bring my own, and if we send for any it could take a while." Christine explained
"Yeah, guess we should really not worry about a hotel room unless the weather's bad or something." Blake agreed.
All the sudden Christine and Blake heard foot steps and a voice say "Do either of you think you could take me on?"
"God, no" Christine said out of exhaustion.
"You see I'm looking for strong team members," a green haired boy stepped into a street light so Blake and Christine could actually see who was behind the voice.
"You probably wanna' look else where, dude no offence but I could hardly tell you were a guy at first, besides it's way too late for a fight" Blake said he was honestly way too tired to care.
"I wasn't asking for a fight, but sure I'd love to." The boy said
"I wouldn't." Christine said
"Are you afraid if I win I join your group?"
"We never said that." Blake said tiredly
"Lame, I'll probably not see either of you at Patch village I won't even waste my time." The boy said before walking off
"Gee what was up with that guy?" Koncho said
"run-of-the-mill shaman fight contestant I guess." Blake said
About two weeks later not much had changed Christie nor Blake had any clue of where Patch village was or anything, they might have thought things were getting boring but with their luck there's never really a dull moment. There just had to be… a nice big explosion
"aww what's the point on going to deserted roads if there's only going to be fights here too?" Blake asked before he and Christine went in the direction of the explosions.
Christine started to run Blake ran right after her which was a good thing because she hardly noticed the steep cliff side she almost fell off. Blake reached for her hand and pulled her back up. "You know, you don't need to have an accidental suicide." Koncho said.
"Hey that's the fight; it's the x-laws, or at least some of them." Skya said who was looking over the cliff edge
"Wonder what the fight's about." Christine said
"Seems like it's just Porf and Venstar… dang too bad Meene didn't come." Blake said
"Wow looks sorta like they're bullying that kid." Christine said looking over at the Brown haired girl sitting on the ground "We have to help her." Elizabeth said
"You are coming right Blake?" Christine asked Blake was quiet for a few seconds before he stood up and started walking
"Where are you going Blake?" Christine asked
"A place where I can get down there easier of course." Blake said
"I'll go with you to that place." Christine said it hadn't been long until the two had made it down there Christine quickly oversouled Drotoro into the sward she had been given and Blake got Skya into his knife.
"STOP THIS AT ONCE!" Christine yelled getting in-between the two x-laws and the girl
"Who do you think you are? You better make way for us before we off you."
"Venstar, why are you trying to kill her anyway what'd she do, at least give me 10 minutes." Blake said
"Blake, what the heck do you think you're doing just waltzing in here you we're going to listen to you we had orders from Iron Maiden-Sama to stop this girl she wants us all dead."
"Well if you won't let me, at least let Christine, I'm sure maiden-sama would agree her intentions are as pure as they come.
"you don't have a place to say that!" Venstar snapped
"Is that true?" Christine asked the girl
"No it's not, I not only want them dead, I was Asakura Hao dead and Yoh Asakura and his friends all of them should pay."
"Pay for what?" Blake asked
"She's upset because this Ashil kid got killed the other day, he was working with Hao and attacked Yoh's group it was a fairly good fight between the two Yoh's little group is lucky we came in and put an end to it all." The other x-law answered
"But they were only trying to help." Christine said to the girl
"Sure, call it what you want to call it, it's still murder Hao's responsible for sending the boy, Yoh's teams is also responsible and so are the x-laws."
"The situation seems like it was unavoidable, it's surly not worth your life." Christine replied
"Yeah but my life won't last long anyway, sooner or later I'll be dead so why not go down with a reason?"
"Was Ashil a special person to you?" Christine asked
"I-I suppose not very I never really knew him, but I witnessed his death and I couldn't help but feel sorry and there's going to be more innocent people killed because of these three groups so they should all be stopped." The girl finally stood back up her head to reveal her brown eyes, her hair was about a medium length she looked to be about 16 or so.
The two x-laws prepare to attack again
"STOP!" Christine yelled "The girl doesn't even have an overosoul up or a ghost around, cut her a break"
"We'll be talking to maiden-sama about you" Venstar said before the two x-laws disappeared.
"Thank-you both for saving me, you really didn't need to kid, so not your place. So I know you'll want something in return and what do I owe you?"
"You owe us an explanation; we've got time to get to Patch village."
"Pretty observant kid." She said "Well I suppose I should at least tell you who I am, my name is Hilda Wilkes I am 17 years old, and I come from around these parts, I'm not in the shaman fight as I oppose it and the ideals of it… it's former standing with good intentions has become nothing more than a once ever 500 years blood bath. Ashil is the first of many more killings to come."
"Why do you say that?" Blake asked
"Well you obviously haven't talked to Lililala, I'd lead you to her and have her tell you the full story behind the shaman tournament but she's a good way off from here. Pretty much the Patch aren't the good people you kiddies think they are." Hilda took a breath "Lililala allowed me to relive the memories of one of the five Seminoan warriors and pretty much it happened like this." She took a breath again Christine figured this would be a long story
"500 years ago in the last shaman fight The Seminoans also participated, but soon they found out about Hao's dream of a Shaman Kingdom. Hao, whom looked very much like Silva at that time explained that humans will eventually destroy the world. To prevent this, they must kill them off and create a new world of Shamans. The true purpose of the Shaman Fight is to create a new world. Together they can destroy humankind. The Seminoans refused the offer and attacked, but they were no match for the Patch and were all one by one killed. Hao was stopped the last time but he left a message before he died saying I am the Future King. I will revive after the 180000th moon comes up to the sky. And apparently he did. He's destined to be stopped yet again but so many lives are going to be thrown away in the process of getting rid of him all because of this shaman fight."
"Well I don't know about that, surely less lives are going to be thrown away with people like Christine running around, her job is sort of an informant on what Hao's doing whenever information is available." Blake said
"How so?" Hilda asked
"Well if Hao's near by I can read his mind… it's not controllable for me but it's there." Christine explained
"But if someone's going to stop Hao then there will be bloodshed but better some bloodshed than the bloodshed of the entire world." Elizabeth said
"I suppose you make a point there but there are way too many groups trying to stop him now, only one person will really be able to stop him in the end. Ashil seemed to be rather stupid himself but you'd think Hao would have a greater value for his subjects." Hilda said coolly
"Well now that that's out of the way it really is only far I properly introduce my self and ghost." Blake said "The name's Blake Onterrie I'm 14 years old, I'm originally from Canada, I was in the x-laws for about 3 years, and now I'm in the shaman tournament hopefully I'll win. My guardian ghost is named Skya, she the spirit of a white wolf that died during the last shaman fight."
"I'm Christine Weather's 13 years old, I am originally from London, England. I'm not really participating in the shaman fight but since I can sort of read Hao's mind I stay in touch with the Patch even though so far nothing's really happened, my ghosts are Koncho, Elizabeth, Drotoro and Manny."
"Wow you two really are young."
"We only have a 3 years difference." Blake said sheepishly "But did that Lililala chick by any chance tell you how to get to Patch village?"
"Well I can't say for sure how to get there but I have a few ideas about where it's at, that is if the two of you don't mind me tagging along." Hilda said
Christine and Blake glanced at one another each giving an approving look back
"We could really use someone else." Christine said
"Well I don't have a guardian ghost so if we run into trouble I hope you don't mind me borrowing one of yours." Hilda said to Christine
"Fine with me, what do you use for an oversoul anyway?" Christine asked
"A Bass guitar, I was always interested in guitars when I was young, this one was pretty much someone I picked up at a pawn shop but it's gotten me out of a lot of trouble." Hilda said beaming
"We've had bad experiences with guitars." Blake laughed
"Huh?" Hilda said confused
"Eh, some jerk, and a long story but you'll eventually get to meet him hanging around us, I really hope you know being around us might give you trouble later down the road." Blake said
"Yeah, and me being around you two is going to give you both some problems but hey we're sort of a team, we can take on whatever comes our way right?" Hilda said
"Guess so." Christine said
"So Hilda, you said you're from around here…" Blake said
"Yeah born and raised in the states, sure for my age I really should be in school but I let my grades slip and just stopped trying, I don't really care about school or anything that much though, as for my parents my mom died when I was six and my dad's pretty much become a money hungry jerk. Then again I suppose that could be the teenager in me talking but yeah I heard about the shaman fight and couldn't resist a break from the ordinary, after all's said and done if I'm still alive I'll go back to school and do better, maybe even start my own band someday."
"How could you have possibly made bad grades, you seem a lot smarter than me." Christine said
"Well that's cause you're a blonde girl, don't think much of that. Sure I could have done way better in school but I guess I just hit a stubborn age and got bored of everything. I've had time to reflect on it and I figure I was wrong about a lot of stuff I did then, but I really want to see my goals through, stopping bloodshed and such before I go back."
A few days later Blake and Christine realized they had ran out of water and low on food.
"Well, why do you two stay put, there's a town not too far from here I'll just go pick a few things up, you both look tired anyway." Hilda volunteered
Of course Blake and Christine agreed to this anyone would have that early in the morning as tired as they both were.
Soon it was starting to get pretty hot and Christine and Blake both were starting to want water more and more.
"H-Hey, that's Charger Chester over there…" Blake said slowly standing up
"Over where?" Christine asked
"You sure you're not seeing things because of the heat and lack of water?" Manny asked
"YEAH, I'm standing right in front of him, can't you see him?" Blake said
"No Blake all I see is a…nice cold, soda vending machine!" Christine said before she started to run over to where Blake was and ended up falling right at Blake's feet
"No Christine you're the one seeing things he's standing here laughing at us don't tell me you're going to just take that!"
"Blake there is NOTHING there but drinks now shut up and help me find some quarters, we're in a money vault after all there have to be some around here." Christine said it was now obvious to the ghosts Blake and Christine both were hallucinating.
"I-I think I should just go and find Hilda." Drotoro said Elizabeth and the others agreed with this
"And when you find her tell her to hurry up because Blake keeps seeing and hearing things and I can't find quarters for the machines!" Christine yelled after Drotoro.
"It is such a good thing I can fly." Drotoro sighed
"For the last time Blake, stop talking about stupid Charger, just mentioning that name is bad luck you know, he could actually show up. Now are you going to help me find the money or not?" Christine said getting annoyed with Blake
"That's it I'm kicking that punk's ass! He just tried to throw sand in my eyes and won't talk to me!" Blake said starting to run forward
"BLAKE WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Christine yelled
Blake ran right into someone's t-shirt that said AC/DC on it
"Crap that WAS just me and now here's the real Charger Chester!" Blake said
"No Blake you should look up it's Hilda wearing an AC/DC shirt… she'll probably kill you for running into her but that just means more soda for me!" Christine said a bit dazed
"Gee, I leave you kids alone for 3 hours to get food and water and come back and you're both hallucinating Christine there is NO vending machines nor are you in a vault of money, and Blake who the crap is this Cheesy Chucker guy you keep saying you're seeing, I think you both need to cool it." Hilda said
"Thank god you got her back here!" Koncho said to Drotoro
"Well she was on her way back but I made her run some." Drotoro answeared
"Huh?" was all Blake and Christine could manage to get out of their mouths
After some food and water they were both back to normal luckily for Hilda who would have more than likely ended up killing them both if things kept up.
"Ok now Blake seriously who is this Cheesy Charger guy?" Hilda asked
"Oh Charger Chester?" Blake said
"Yeah, whatever the name is." Hilda said
Blake told Hilda about Charger and such even though it was a bit hard to do with Christine saying how if he kept taking about Charger he'd end up showing up every five minutes.
"He doesn't seem too hot; he's probably pretty weak he's just clever is all." Hilda said
"Well I like to think I'm hot…" an all too recognizable voice said
"SEE BLAKE I TOLD YOU SO!" Christine yelled after taking a glance at who had just walked up
Too be continued
