Chapter 3: The Return of Rando
"Dammit!" Koenma squeaked loudly. "This can't be happening!"
"What's wrong sir?" George asked walking into the room.
"Rando! He's back!" Koenma yelled, sweat dripping down his cheeks.
"Rando? But, isn't he dead sir? Yusuke killed him in Genkai's tournament!" George replied confused.
"Yes! Well he's supposed to be dead! I've received word that he disappeared from his afterlife holding site, and that he has been spotted on Earth!" Koenma yelled as he began to shake.
"This isn't good!" George threw his hands on his face.
Koenma put his hand on his chin, "How could this have possibly happened? What do we do from here?"
"Call in Yusuke and the crew!" George yelled excitedly. "Yusuke could defeat him in the matter of seconds with his new strength!"
"Yes, only problem is he is busy dealing with the matters of demon world, as is Kurama and Hiei. The things going on there are far more concerning. Even Kuwabarra is away in college." Koenma replied. "Our only choice is Keitaro, but he is only 3 months into his training."
"Don't you think Rando would go to them anyways? He wants Genkai's spirit wave after all." George replied.
"She has small remains of that power; after all, the technique was passed to Yusuke. So he would be disappointed." Koenma replied. "We should inform her anyways; send word to Hiei that we need Blade again to inform to Genkai, and his fighting expertise will be needed."
"Yes sir, I'll get someone on it right away!" George replied.
YU YU HAKUSHO: GHOST FILES
Keitaro slid open his door as he got out of bed. His eyes were half open and his hair was a mess. He walked down the hall and made his way into the main room to find two people sitting and drinking tea.
"Blade!" Keitaro spoke excitedly.
"Don't look so happy to see me, it's revolting." Blade replied, sipping his cup of tea.
"You haven't changed." Keitaro replied.
"But I see you have. You have become a lot stronger then when we last met." Blade replied. "You're going to need it."
"For what?" Keitaro asked as Lina also entered the room, just waking up.
"Good you're up too. Listen you two there's something I need to tell you." Genkai started, "A few years back, a physic killer named Rando showed up here to enter my tournament and become the inheritor of my spirit wave technique. He was a powerful demon, but in the end was killed by Yusuke. A week ago he regained his life somehow and is likely on his way over here to finish what he started."
"Well, you could definitely destroy him for good, couldn't you master Genkai?" Lina asked.
"What spirit world probably doesn't know is that he is far more powerful than last time. He will come here to seek my technique, only to find that I no longer possess it. He will go on a rampage and destroy all of us. In my current state without my power, I will not be able to defeat him, and neither will any of you." Genkai said, shutting her eyes.
"What? No way, not after all this training!" Keitaro frowned.
"Keitaro and Lina, you have become a lot stronger since you've been here, and given more time I might have been able to prepare you better. But Blade is our best hope and by what I can feel, that won't be enough." Genkai responded.
"And how do you know how strong he is?" Keitaro asked.
"He is close, I can feel his power. He will be here in a few hours." Genkai replied opening her eyes.
"Say what you will old woman, I will tear him limb from limb." Blade replied coldly. "I didn't train to die to some washed up demon that kills human psychics for his power. I have far greater use for my power."
"You have not only obtained power from Hiei, but it seems although you've adopted his personality as well. However, as Hiei knows, cockiness and confidence won't always get you the victory." Genkai responded.
"Then we will die trying!" Keitaro spoke. "I've been waiting to try my new techniques."
"Well it looks like you're going to get your chance. He has arrived much sooner than I had anticipated." Genkai shut her eyes and sipped her tea as the door gently opened.
"Good morning, everyone." A tall man smiled as he walked through the door.
"Hi, who are you?" Keitaro asked confused.
"My name is Sanzo Kori. Is master Genkai around? There is urgent news I must speak to her about." Sanzo replied.
Keitaro blinked, puzzled. He was sure a giant ugly demon was going to walk into the door and suck the souls out of their body. This man looked nothing short of harmless.
"Cut the crap Rando. I could smell you from outside of the woods. You did a terrible job hiding your power too." Genkai said sternly.
"Forgive me master Genkai, but I haven't gotten used to my new strength." Rando smiled.
"Your Rando? Man I thought you'd look tougher." Keitaro replied, still puzzled.
"It's just a disguise. He won't show his demon form unless he absolutely needs too." Genkai replied coolly, standing up.
"Yes, and as I remember, you have seen my true form, as did those boys. After I take your power, I'll have to kill you and hunt them down." Rando continued to smile in that human form.
"Well, let's take this out back; I don't want to ruin the house." Genkai said putting her hands behind her back, walking everyone outside.
They all made their way 200 yards from the house, to an open field.
"This is where we will fight. Rando as you might have guessed, I'm quite a bit weaker then when you last met me." Genkai said. "That is because I have already passed my powers on. I no longer carry the spirit wave."
"What did you say?" Rando's smirk faded, "I felt the difference in your power, but I thought it was due to how much stronger I've become! Who has it!" Rando roared infuriated.
"The same boy that took your life," Genkai replied, "His name is Yusuke Urameshi.
A red aura became visible around Rando as his anger grew.
"Then, I will start with all of you, and then find him!" Rando roared.
Lina stepped up first. "Let me handle this."
She walked towards Rando as bat like wings and a tail emerged from her body. Her fingernails grew 10 inches and became razor sharp.
"You've walked into a death trap Rando." Lina yelled as she ran full speed at him.
Rando disappeared from in front of her causing her to stop. She stopped and looked around confused, then hit the ground, creating a crater.
"Gaaaah!" She screamed as blood shot from her mouth.
"Lina!" Keitaro screamed as he ran at Rando. "Spirit arrow!"
A small blue arrow shot from the finger of Keitaro as he made his bow shooting movement. The arrow plunged into Rando's neck a sent him flying into a tree.
"Arrow Fury!" He roared as he shot 3 arrows, all directly impacting Rando. Keitaro panted as he slouched over, sweating.
"Hahaha, was that really an attack?" Rando laughed as his silhouette became visible through the smoke. "Come, show that master Genkai has trained tougher opponents for me!"
Lina swiftly came behind Rando, throwing a kick to his head. Rando took the blow and continued forward.
"Now you're starting to piss me off!" Lina yelled.
She put both up both her arms, fully extended in the air. Her pink spirit energy began to glow around her body. "Pink Lightning!" She roared, as her spirit energy formed into lightning bolts, ravaging Rando's body.
Rando turned his head and looked at his arm.
"You've managed to scratch me." He frowned as he disappeared.
Again Lina was smacked to the ground from behind. She tried to pick herself up, but just fell back down, gasping for breath.
"Now you die." Rando said as he started an incantation.
A huge fireball formed in the hands Rando as he finished his incantation.
"Goodbye." Rando smirked as he threw the fireball.
Lina screamed and closed her eyes as the fireball came roaring towards her. She waited a couple seconds, but after feeling nothing, she opened her eyes to see Blade in front of her, and no sign of the fireball.
"What, what happened?" Lina whispered.
"He absorbed the fire!" Keitaro exclaimed. Even Genkai had a surprised look on her face.
"My my, it's been a while since I've even heard of their being another salamander." Genkai smiled closing her eyes.
Rando smiled, "Finally someone who might provide some fun!"
"A salamander?" Keitaro asked.
"A demon thought to have been extinct for thousands of years. A fully recognized salamander can transform into an actual dragon." Genkai responded.
Blade appeared behind Rando, unsheathed his katana and swung for his neck. Rando dodged quickly, kicking Blade in his stomach, and then elbowing him in the back of his head sending him smashing into the ground.
Keitaro roared as he ran for Rando. Rando began to mutter an incantation that sent Keitaro to his knees, grabbing his stomach and gasping for air.
"Ahhh! My… insides!" Keitaro cringed in pain, rolling on the ground.
"Hahaha! Do you like that one? It basically squeezes all of your organs, like I would squeeze your neck! You'll be alive long enough to see me kill your friends, then I'll let your heart finally explode!" Rando laughed maniacally.
Blade stumbled his way towards Rando.
"There is no way I can lose to a nobody like you!" He yelled.
Blade moved so fast it surprised Rando. The next thing Rando knew, he had a fireball in his face, and pain surged through his body.
"Rahhh!" Rando screamed, "Your gonna die for that!"
Blade was too quick for him. He was already being punched repeatedly in the stomach. His eyes turned white from the pain, and spit mixed in with blood was being ejected from Rando's mouth. Blade ceased the punching and ended his attacking with a fiery upper cut. Rando arched into the air and landed onto the ground hard.
Blade stood up straight and frowned at Rando's body, "For all the talk, you were quite pathetic."
"Hehe.. Hahaha.." Rando laughed as his body sunk into the ground. "I would have never guessed that I'd run into someone so soon who would make me transform."
"It's about time." Blade frowned.
"But as you are all to see me as I am, your all gonna have to die." Rando's voice came.
Keitaro stood up, one eye closed and still grabbing his stomach. "The.. pain.. stopped…" He whimpered.
"Yes, the transformation broke the spell." Genkai replied, "Come, you're in no shape to fight."
A figure began to rise from the ground, a pale figure, with long red hair, and blue lines covering most of his face.
"The true Rando has returned." Rando smirked as he appeared behind blade and blasted him into the ground.
Blade coughed blood. "If you think I'm losing, you have another thing coming."
He moved quickly in front Rando, and was nailed with a roundhouse kick to face that sent him flying.
Rando began an incantation, muttering words that started to make the ground move. Blade forced himself up and on to his feet.
"What, is this.." He whispered.
A giant earth hand came out of the ground and smashed him, keeping it's grip on Blade to keep him from moving.
"Do you like it? The earth golem makes a perfect pet for ground fighting!" Rando yelled with a smile. "This is the end! You fought hard, but death is inevitable!"
"Apparently not for you!" A voice interrupted, "We killed you a long time ago!"
"What?" Rando looked to the figure.
"That's right! I knew I smelled your stench Rando! I could never forget it. And in case you forgot me, I'm Kuwabarra, and I'm gonna rip you to shreds!" Kuwabarra smirked, eager to fight.
