Chapter 3: Ghosts, Unity, Sticks, and Nuts, OH MY!
--------------------------------Sam's House-----------------------------
Sam: (dreaming) Eh? (looks around) Where… am I?
The place was empty with no color or sound. Sam was standing in the middle of nothing.
Sam: This is strange. HELLO?! Is anyone here? … I need to pee! (thinking) Hmm… I guess there really is noth—huh?
Coming towards Sam was a small ball of light. It then stopped in front of her and started to materialize into a blurry man… a blurry OLD man.
Old Man: So you are her… Sam, is it not?
Sam: WHOA! How'd you know my name? Are you… Santa Claus?!
Old Man: (anime drop) NO! I'm an elder from a tribe who just happens to be very wise!
Sam: Do they also give away presents?
Elder: (smacks own head) Oi, just listen to what I have to say! I don't have much time and neither do you! You are about to awaken a great power that lies within you. Soon you will know of being a shaman.
Sam: EH?! A great power that will awaken and shamans?! I'm not anything special like that!
Elder: (starts to disappear) I'll have to tell you another time. For now, I must depart. In time Sam…
Sam: WAIT! I still have que—!
Elder: (anime vein) I SAID IN TIME!
Sam: O.O O-ok…Mr. Cranky Pants.
Elder: (disappears in a blinding light)
Sam: (shields eyes) GYAH!
Alarm Clock: TIME TO WAKE UP! TIME TO WAKE UP! IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY! … JUST JOKING IT'S GOING TO RAIN! HA HA!
Sam: (jumps up) GYAH! (breathes heavily) Whoa… just what was that about? Hmm… (looks at alarm clock) O.O IT'S 10:00 AM?! HOLY SHIT I'M LATE FOR SCHOOL!
Alarm Clock: I TOLD YOU SO! I TOLD YOU SO! (taunts)
Sam: V.V … (hits alarm clock with a bat) HA! I WIN! … Crap, I gotta buy a new one. (gets ready for school)
-----------------------------School-----------------------------
Students: HAHAHAHA!! HAHAHAHAHA!!
Morty: But it's true! We tried to get evidence but got mixed up with Rio and his gang!
Girl: Oh Morty, please! Stop trying to go to that cemetery. Everyone knows that's where the Dead Enders hang out is. You would have to be a fool to go there again.
Boy: Yeah! Especially over things that aren't real. You could get real hurt from Rio.
Morty: But… but… GHOSTS ARE—
Yoh: Real.
Students&Morty: O.O HUH?!
Yoh: Yep, ghosts are real. My friends at the cemetery told me what happened. You're Morty and the girl is Sam, right?
Morty: Huh? (blinks)
--------------------------Outside the School------------------------
Sam: (out of breath) MAN! Running isn't my strong suit! I still need to pee… At last I'm finally—(hears yells) Hmm?
Looking to her left she sees Yoh dragging a screaming big-eyed Morty wrapped in a rope with a huge smile but serious face on.
Sam: Morty… a rope… Yoh… smiling… this could only mean one thing… MIDGET PINATA!
Yoh&Morty: (see Sam) You are alive?!
Sam: (anime vein) Of course I am! You guys almost sound disappointed!
Morty: I thought you were a goner!
Yoh: I'm glad you are ok. (smiles) Thank God she is.
Sam: That smile… must resist! Oh yea, I'm ok! Damn it!
Morty: SAM! YOH HAS GONE CRAZY!
Yoh: No I haven't. We are going back to the graveyard to give those Dead Enders a taste of their own medicine!
Sam: Eh?! ARE YOU SERIOUS? You can't go though!
Yoh: AWW! Why not?
Morty: FINALLY SOMEONE ON THE SAME PAGE AS ME!
Sam: You can't go… without ME! After all, I know their secret move!
Morty: (jawdrops) WHAT?!
Yoh: (laughs) All right then! LET'S GO!
------------------------------At The Graveyard----------------------------
Arriving in the cemetery, chills went up and down Sam and Morty's backs. Yoh, on the other hand, looked perfectly calm. Sam was looking around for Rio and his gang in the tree, Yoh was sitting in front of the tree, and Morty… well…
Morty: (tied to the tree) GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!
Sam: We can't do that Morty! You might run away.
Morty: I'd rather run then die! (squirming)
Yoh: Trust me, no one is going to die.
Rio: Can you be so sure about that?
Yoh, Morty, and Sam turn their heads to see Rio and the Dead Enders looking back at them.
Sam: O.O AAAH! IT'S ELVIS AND THE YMCA DEAD ENDERS!
Rio&Members#1-4: O.O AAAH! IT'S THE GIRL WITH POWERFUL NUTS!
Yoh&Morty: O.O What?!
Rio: I-It's nothing! Why are you still here? I thought we told you kids this is our place.
Yoh: We came to ask you guys to please leave this cemetery.
Sam&Morty: (anime vein) WE'RE NOT BEGGING THEM YOH!
Rio: You, the nut girl, and the midget piñata? Don't make me laugh! (walks over to a tombstone) To show you a piece of my power… WATCH THIS! HIYA!! (breaks the tombstone in half with his wooden sword)
As the pieces of the tomb started to separate, Yoh, Morty, and Sam were shocked at the fact that someone would ever do something like that! Yoh was defiantly not a happy camper any more! As the tomb rolled over, the name printed on the stone read: 'Amidamaru'.
Rio: (stands up) So what did you guys think of that?
Members #1-4: (claps) WHOO HOO! YOU ARE THE BEST RIO!! LONG LIVE RIO!
Morty: (notices the name) OoO THIS IS BAD!! HE BROKE THE TOMB OF THE LEGENDARY AMIDAMARU! THE SAMURAI WHO WENT AGAINST HIS KING AND KILLED THOUSANDS OF TROOPS!
Sam: (in shock) WHO CARES ABOUT ALL THAT?! I'm still wondering how he broke stone with a STICK! Maybe it's a magic stick!
Yoh: Magic stick or not, he destroyed a resting-place for that spirit! You aren't gonna get away with that! For now I am MAD YOH! (fire background shaka laka!)
Rio: Humph! Just what do you and this little army are gonna do about it? Tell on me?! HAHAHA! (looks at his members) LAUGH WITH ME!
Members #1-4: OH! UH… HAHAHA?
Yoh: Him and I are gonna take you guys out!
Rio: Him? You mean the midget piñata?
Morty: I'M NOT A PINATA!!
Sam: (hides piñata stick behind her back) Aww…
Yoh: NOPE! His name is Amidamaru, and though he's a spirit, he's gonna get his revenge!
Rio: (mocks) OOOO I'M SO SCARED! I've had enough of this, prepare for your end! YMCA DEAD ENDERS! (poses)
As Rio gave the call, the members ran up behind him and called out their positions and posed.
Member #1: Y!
Member #2: M!
Member #3: C!
Member #4: A!
Morty: (still tied to the tree) O.O What in the world is this?!
Sam: Not this again! PLUG YOUR EARS OR YOU'LL DIE!
Morty: DOES IT LOOK LIKE I CAN DO THAT?!
Rio: This is it! Operation YMCA of Death, INITIATE!
Yoh: ALL RIGHT! AMIDAMARU! LET'S GET GOING!
From behind Yoh appeared a huge samurai warrior with white spikeylicious (xD) hair and battle armor.
Amidamaru: I am ready, Yoh-dono. They shall pay for breaking my tomb with a stick!
Yoh: AMIDAMARU, SPIRIT FORM! UNITY!
Amidamaru formed into a ball within Yoh's hand. When Yoh called out 'unity', he pushed the Amidamaru ball into his chest.
Rio: Enough games! Get them!
Members #1-4: (lunge at Yoh) YMCA!!!
Yoh/Amidamaru: (smirks and pulls out sword) Foolish letters!
Yoh/Amidamaru rose his sword and in a second, knocks the YMCA members down to the ground!
Members #1-4: XO Uh… (faints)
Rio: (shocked) What's up with this kid?! It's like he is a different person! HUMPH! Your sword skills are good, but they don't match mine! (takes out magic stick and runs at Yoh) DIE BRAT!
Yoh/Amidamaru: You were right about my sword skills… they are no match to yours because I'M BETTER! (cuts off Rio's hair) SAY GOOD-BYE TO YOUR SUBMARINE!
Rio: M-my… MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR! (falls over)
Members #1-4: (get up and grab Rio) L-let's get out of here! (run for the gates)
Rio: THIS ISN'T OVER!!
Sam: (in the tree) HEY RIO! YOU GUYS FORGOT YOUR NUTS! (throws a truck load at them)
Rio&Members #1-4: AAAHHH!!! (roll down the hill out of the cemetery)
Yoh/Amidamaru: (dancing) OH YEA! I STILL GOT IT!
Morty: O.o… Yoh?
Sam: O.o… Uh?
Yoh/Amidamaru: (sweatdrop) Oh… uh, you didn't see that.
After the boogie dance was finished, Yoh went back to normal and Amidamaru seemed to have disappeared. Yoh, Morty, and Sam glued Amidamaru's tombstone back together. Everything was back to normal…
Morty: SAM!
Sam: Eh? What is it Morty?
Morty: Was it you or Yoh who glued me to the tree?! (back is pressed against the tree with a seam of glue going all around his back)
Sam: (innocent) Why, I have no idea what you are talking about!
Yoh: (smiles but acts innocent) Yea Morty! You should be more careful!
YEP! Normal as can be! As Morty detaches himself from the tree, Sam and Yoh give each other a quick high five. They all sat down and watched the sky.
Yoh: Great night, right guys? (calm)
Sam: (dizzy from glue smell) LOOK AT ALL THE SHINY STARS!!! SO PRETTY!!
Morty: It is… (realized something) WAIT A MINUTE! You have a lot of explaining to do! (points at Yoh)
Yoh: … Huh?
Morty: YOU KNOW! All that spirit stuff and 'Unity'. What is all that?!
Yoh: Do I really need to explain all this stuff now? (yawns) I'm really tired. (puppy dog eyes)
Morty: No Yoh! We need answers now! Right Sam?
Sam: (still dizzy) I LIKE STARS AND PUPPIES! CAUSE THEY GO TWINKLE TWINKLE WOOF WOOF!
Morty&Yoh: O.O' (sweatdrop)
Morty: Never mind her. Come on Yoh, tell us! Just who exactly are you?
Yoh: (sighs) Well, if you must know… I am, a Shaman.
Sam: Eh?! A SHAMAN?! That's sounds totally cool!
Yoh: (laughs) Well, it kinda is. Haha! Well that was easy!
Morty&Sam: YEA! Hahaha… ha… What's a Shaman?
Yoh: (anime drop) Guess not. A shaman is a person who can link the world of living to the next world. We have connections with spirits and have abilities unknown to others.
Sam: (amazed) WOW! We could have our own TV special! Like Ghostbusters!!
Morty: (sweatdrop) I don't think that would work Sam. (turns to Yoh) Do you think you could teach us?!
Yoh: Haha, well, you would have to be shamans first. Wow, it's late. I'll explain more tomorrow. (yawns) I'll see you guys. (walks home)
Sam&Morty: Bye Yoh!
Morty: Wow, that was really cool! There's a chance we could be shamans Sam!
Sam: YEP! I can't wait! (thinks) Shaman… wait, shaman? Is that what that old man was talking about?
Morty: HEY SAM! Let's go! (at the gates)
Sam: WHOA! Midgets have super speed! Wait up Morty! (runs to the gates)
As Morty and Sam departed the cemetery, they were unaware the whole time someone had been watching them. Behind the shrine appeared a dark shadow that had a huge smirk plastered on their face… creepy. O.o
Dark Shadow Creepy Stalker: (smirking) So, it seems I have some competition for the tournament after all. Well then, Yoh Asakura, be sure to know that I will beat you in the last match you will ever have! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA—!
Sam: (running back to the graveyard) I SEE IT!
Dark Shadow Creepy Stalker: O.O Uh oh! (hides behind shrine)
Sam: AH HA! I'VE GOT YOU NOW!
Dark Shadow Creepy Stalker: Oh crap!!
Sam: MORTY! I FOUND MY GLUE! (picks up glue and leaves)
Dark Shadow Creepy Stalker: (anime drop and rises again with anime vein) What the hell?! OH! Never mind. (runs off)
Sam: Hmm? (turns around)
Morty: What is it Sam?
Sam: I thought I heard a rapid squirrel or something but my mistake. See ya tomorrow!
Morty: JA NE!
Sam and Morty each left one another and went home.
End of Chapter 3
