AN: Well now that the gang has arrived in the other world, now they must traverse the eerie land they are in to find out where the Seven Deadly Warriors are, and the first one up to fight is William. Don't worry, Grandfather Simon will help him out.
Chapter Three: Simon Belmont vs Ronshi
About twenty minutes after Yusuke, Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara landed in the land that the portal sent them, they found themselves right in the middle of a land with a red sky, and grey, dying trees. The small wind that was sweeping through the area was strong enough to blow over the dead and decaying things in the area.
"Man, this place gives me the creeps." Kuwabara said. "Where do we go now?"
"First we have to wait for David and William to show up, and thanks to stupid here, we have to find Michael before we continue." Yusuke said, pointing a finger in Kuwabara's direction.
"Hey, what makes you think that this is my fault?" Kuwabara asked his friend.
"Idiot, you were the one that pushed him into the portal." Hiei answered.
"Yeah, well, it's not as if that jerk is still around here." Kuwabara said.
"Maybe that jerk is right behind you." Michael said, appearing right behind Kuwabara. Kuwabara let out a screech, and jumped right into Yusuke's arms.
"Get off, jerk." Yusuke said, dropping his friend. Michael sighed, and pointed to a large castle in the distance.
"Look, that is where the Seven Deadly Warriors are waiting for us." Michael said.
"Are you sure?" Kurama asked him.
"Dead sure." Michael said. "Shall we?"
"Might as well, who knows, we might run into David and William as well." Yusuke said.
NEW YORK CITY, 3 HOURS EARLIER...
David stood across the street, staring right at Alex's window. He watched he brunette girlfriend get ready for sleep, as she moved back and forth in her bedroom. David had to leave, and in the pit of his stomach, he despised doing so because that meant that he was going to be away from her, and he probably will not come back. But David knew that he had to do this, because if he didn't, who knows what hell will rain down upon them if he chose to stay behind.
Alex opened, her window, and that was the demon's cue to scram. Sending her a goodbye from his mind, David ran among the darkness, hurrying to meet back up with his friend.
"Be careful, David." Alex whispered to the darkness.
PRESENT DAY, CURRENT TIME
"Wow, how do we get in?" Kuwabara asked, as the five of them stood at the locked gate of the big castle.
"Well, I guess ringing the doorbell is out of the question." Yusuke joked.
"Hm, maybe David or William can help us out here." Kurama said.
"Whenever he gets here." Hiei said to his ally.
Michael stood there for a few seconds, and then disappeared. The Rankei Tantei looked and watched as Rayzor dropped on the spot where Michael was standing with a large thud. William was on Rayzor's shoulder, and hopped off with a smile.
"Greetings, friends. Well, what has happened?" William smiled.
"Nothing yet." Yusuke said. "We were waiting on you two to grace our presence, and now that you are here...Great where in the hell did Michael go now!"
"Up here." Michael said as he floated above the team. "Nice job, asshole. DO you think the next time you could actually hit me!"
"I'll try." David smiled. Michael gave him the bird in a friendly way, and floated down towards his teammates.
Almost on cue, the gate entering the eerie castle opened. Everyone looked at each other, and back towards the darkness.
"Well, no turning back now. Let's go." David said. Everyone gave nods towards each other, and walked in, not knowing that some one was already waiting for them.
"Where are they?" Miley asked Koenma in a worried tone.
"Well, from what I can gather, The Demon Badlands." Koenma said. "The barrier I have around the whole city is weak, and unless they get rid of them soon, bad things are going to happen."
"What type of bad things?" Melody asked.
"'End of the world' bad things." Koenma said.
"Look, something is happening!" Lilly screamed, pointing at the screen. They all looked up, just in time to see the first battle about to begin...
The corridor of the castle was very linear, which meant that there was only one way to go, and that way was straight ahead. William lead the group, because he knew that there was someone waiting to greet them, and the Belmont heir wanted to be the first one to fight whoever and whatever was in their way.
Soon enough, they reached an opening, and they stopped to take in their surroundings.
"Great, another dreary room in this big dreary castle." Yusuke moaned.
"Shut up. Did you think that this place was going to be a colorful rainbow?" Michael asked sarcastically. William hushed the team as he took a step into the main room. He looked around, and right before he took a step back, a light came on.
"Well, well, this is the grandson of the famous Simon Belmont." A voice emerged from the room. On cue, everyone but David and Hiei began to look around for the source of the voice. William just sighed, and took out his chain whip. Soon enough, a black haired figure dressed in a black suit emerged from the shadows, smiling at William. William smiled back as if they were good friends.
"Greetings, Ronshi." William said. "I see that you are still plaguing the earth as all parasites do."
"Now that's not nice." Ronshi said in a mocked hurt tone. "Why would say such a hurtful thing?"
"It's true." William said.
"Well, I guess that I am going to have to kill you now." Ronshi said casually. William began to laugh.
"You know, I think I'll let granddad take care of you." William smiled. He pulled out a locket, and crushed the crystal with his bare hand. Out of nowhere, smoke filled the room, and the rest of the crew wondered just what was happening.
"Well, I can say that I saw this coming." Hiei said.
"Really shorty? Care to share with the rest of us?" Kuwabara asked.
"What William is doing is summoning a member of his bloodline. Someone who could defeat this monster easily." Kurama stated.
"Wait, that someone from his bloodline would be Simon Belmont, right?" Yusuke asked.
"The very same." Kurama answered.
"Can't wait to see it." Michael chimed in.
"Wait no longer, he's here." David said, pointing out towards the middle of the room just as the smoke cleared.
It looked like Simon Belmont.
It was dressed in a tunic like Simon Belmont.
It was definitely Simon Belmont, but the voice was still William's.
"Well, shall we begin?" William smiled through his grandfather's face.
"You son of a bitch! Fancy clothes and red hair won't change a thing!" Ronshi claimed. Without warning, Ronshi charged at William, who was ready for him.
"This is going to be quick." Michael said.
"Really? What makes you think that?" Kuwabara asked.
"That." David said, motioning towards the fight that was happening.
William had unleashed a flurry of punches that connected with Ronshi, and the monster tried to mount some offense, but William was ready for him. Jumping upwards, William managed to wrap his chain around Ronshi's neck, and the beast was struggling trying to get it off.
"You bastard! What do you think that you are doing!" Ronshi screamed.
"Killing you." William answered. With one good yank, the chain went, along with Ronshi's head, right on the floor. David smirked, and William changed back into his normal self.
"Nice work. I suppose that is what you would call 'splitting the uprights'." Kuwabara laughed.
"Weak." Michael groaned. "Still, nice work William."
"That was easy, but don't count on it being that way from now on." William said.
"Six left, we better get going." Yusuke said. The group nodded in agreement, and began to walk towards the stairs leading upstairs. They knew that someone was waiting for them up there as well.
AN: Michael here. Look, I am going to keep this short and sweet. Once we get to the top of the steps, we find ourselves on the balcony. Of course we are going to run into big trouble on the top of these steps. The guy's name is Makuto, and it seems that Yoko wants to take him on, and who are we to argue? It is going to be a duel, that's for damn sure...
