Spirit Tamers: The Dobie Village Tournament.
CHAPTER 5 "The Gates of Babylon."
The battle between Team Len and Team Tamers accidentally was the last official one...
And the reason was nobody else but Zeke..!
He also watched that battle and afterwards approached Yoh.
"Well-well, BROTHER..! Maybe NOW you see how weak your "friends" are? Join me and we will rule
the new world of shamans together! Think a bit. I don't have endless time so watch out..."
"Zeke! Don't you understand that I will NEVER join your madness? I must you!"
"Very well... It's only your problem now, brother..!"
...Later:
"Hey? Why my Oracle Bell doesn't work? What happened?"
"Mine too..! Strange."
Just then Silwa came in.
"Not only your Oracles don't work – ALL of them! And we don't get any messages from the King
of Spirits. Which means only trouble..."
"You mean Zeke? Don't worry - we'll stop him. I promise!"
"Yoh, I know you are very brave. But still... It's ZEKE... By the way, the X-Laws are also up
to something..! And that's even more trouble for all of us..."
...Yet later:
"Yoh! Morty was captured by those X-Laws..! I couldn't stop them..."
"Rio, calm down. We're going to save him right now!"
"It must be a trap..."
"Never mind. I won't leave my friend without help. Let's go!"
So Yoh with his friends went to save Morty.
The Tamers were on the other side of the town so they didn't know about this.
...Elsewhere:
Morty was hanging in a cage that was held by Lyserg's new guardian spirit, Zelel.
All X-Laws and their guardian spirits formed a circle with Jean's sarcophagus in the centre.
"Lyserg, why are you doing this? What do you want from me and Yoh?"
"You're just a bait. Yoh will surely come to rescue you and we'll capture him. We're sure that
Zeke will come to rescue him too. Then our Iron Maiden Jeanne will open the Gates of Babylon
And that will be the end of Zeke!"
"Hey! You can't sacrifice my friend in order to stop Zeke! Are you nuts?"
"Zeke's end is the only important thing – anything else, even someone's life, is unimportant.
I will gladly sacrifice my own life if it helps to stop Zeke..."
"Lyserg, you ARE nuts... What did those X-Laws do to you?"
"Enough! Look, who's coming..!"
Just then Yoh's group appeared.
"X-Laws! Release Morty immediately! What do you want from him?"
"We'll free him only if you apologise for being Zeke's brother and swear to join us. Go to
Jeanne and swear. And leave your swords outside the circle."
"Yoh! It's a trap! Don't go!"
"No, Morty, I will go."
Yoh left his swords and went towards Jean.
"Yoh! Don't go! I heard them. They will destroy you! Oh, I wish I could free myself..!"
Just then a very strange thing happened..!
"Morty, I will help you!"
"Huh? MOSUKE! What are you doing in my laptop?"
"Hey, who is THAT?"
"That's Mosuke, Amidamaru's 600-year-old friend!"
Mosuke appeared behind Morty and broke the cage!
"You're free! Ooops..! Out of furyoku..!"
And Mosuke disappeared again.
"What do you know, our little Morty became a shaman!"
"We must capture Yoh! X-Laws, to your weapons!"
All X-Laws aimed at Yoh and shot.
But Len and Joco threw Yoh's swords to him and he was able to stop the attack!
"So you want to fight?"
"Marko, we are surrounded..."
All shamans united with their spirits and were ready to protect Yoh and themselves.
But then Jeanne spoke up!
"Marko, Lyserg, leave them to me."
"But Jeanne..! You must concentrate on the Gates of Babylon..."
"The Gates will be useless if we don't capture Yoh Asakura."
Jeanne left her sarcophagus and a huge blue spirit appeared above her.
"Mash, capture them!"
The spirit did something and immediately all shamans were captured inside a huge cage..!
"Hey! I can't unite with my spirit..! What happened?"
"This cage is magic. We are unable to attack..."
"So what should we do?"
Just then...
"Got you!"
Zeke's Spirit of Fire appeared behind Jeanne and caught her with its hands!
"Zeke, I will stop you. Good always wins against evil."
"Such brave words from a girl..! HAHAHA!"
"Zeke! Stop! Don't hurt her!"
"Too late!"
And the spirit went aflame..!
Then it threw Jeanne onto the ground but the lianas of her sarcophagus caught her.
"ZEKE! I will stop you! Oh, if only I could free myself from this cage!"
"X-Laws, your little Maiden is defeated. Surrender or I'll destroy you!"
"Never! We will fight you until our very last breath..! X-Laws, let's protect our Iron Maiden!"
Zeke's henchmen attacked the X-Laws...
"Yoh, do you think that girl is OK?"
"I don't know... But we're still trapped... And those stubborn X-Laws are being beaten."
"I don't care about them. But still, let's free ourselves!"
"Right, Len! Let's concentrate our furyoku!"
Yoh and his friends struggled very hard and finally the cage broke apart!
"Zeke! Stop right now!"
"Let's kick his henchmen!"
"Asakura, why are you doing this? We don't need Zeke's brother's help!"
"If we don't like you that doesn't mean we will let Zeke kill you..!"
Just then Jeanne's sarcophagus shone brightly and opened!
"Iron Maiden! She's alive! She was just preparing to open the Gates of Babylon!"
Jeanne's guardian spirit, Mash, appeared above the field with a "key".
Now there was a "gate" in the sky!
Mash opened it and a huge storm started.
In several seconds everybody and everything inside the circle was sucked into the Gate!

Author's notes:
The funniest thing is that I finished this chapter exactly a minute before the described
episode started on TV!
So I once again watched it to be sure about details.
Well, details aren't 100 identical since it is still a fanfic... :)
Funny indeed!
(I'm not joking – a very funny coincidence.)
