"Who said anything about killing? I intended to get rid of her. Killing is far too messy. What with the blood spray and all," Zero jumped back, "I intended to delete her."
He held out his hand. If it weren't for the total absence of spirit energy it would have looked like he was getting ready to charge a Rei Blast. With Yusuke between her and Zero, it meant it was aimed at Yusuke, "And what do you intend to do with that? Pretend to shoot me?"
His nice face was gone. He had the twisted expression of a homicidal maniac who had just gone on a killing spree. That grin that could send shivers down the toughest man's spine.

"I don't intend on 'pretending' to shoot you." Yusuke stated, a Rei Gun charging.
"I intend on shooting you. Yokai. Walk, hobble, WHATEVER. Just move away as fast as you can. I don't want you getting hurt." Yusuke noted to Ginger, not taking his eyes off of Zero.
And then he fired his Rei Gun, a large blast, just generally aimed at Zero.

Ginger quickly grabbed the sword with her mouth before following Yusuke's "suggestion". With all the speed she could manage she made her way behind a tombstone. Zero watched the light escape from the boy's fingers and suddenly wondered if he had misread him. Was he the human form of one of the legends? Only way to find out was to brace himself for impact. He'd know when it hit him, and he knew it would hurt, he just didn't think it would hurt...
...quite that much. Zero went flying into the side of a building and burst into his viral form upon impact. If he had truly been human, he would have been more than dead, several times over. But he wasn't human, just a very sore cloud of digital distortion.
It flew to the ground and he reformed his human form, but it hurt like hell. He was on his knees and wincing. He pushed himself back up, but was wobbly on his feet. He glared at Yusuke.
"So... Dialga? Palkia?" he scowled, "Arceus?" He looked beyond pissed at this point, but twice as defiant.
Ginger's eyes widened. This creature knew Arceus!? And was still being this defiant!?
"Urameshi-kun, I don't think you can take him!!" she shouted. It was meant to be of concern, but knowing Yusuke's ego...

"This Arceus guy... he's the equivalent to King Enma, right? Well... if he's going to be defiant to the guy who is, in an alternate universe, my boss... I have no choice but to deliver a world of hurt." Yusuke responded. Thunder accompanied his words, of course. He wasn't worried for HIMSELF. Just hoped that Arceus was about to bring his punishment or whatever.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't 'delete' you."

Zero paused. The Ninetales had told this human to be fearful? He smirked. It wasn't Arceus. He wasn't sure where the boy was getting his powers, but he wasn't even one of the gods of his world. If he was, he wouldn't have to be that careful.
"I don't know who among the gods you represent, but you can deliver a message for me. They've just made it clear they can't find the PokeDestined, and I therefore have nothing to fear. Not if they are going to send out some glorified errand boy and his pet." Zero's expression was of pure superiority. He expected another blast from Yusuke, but planned on vanishing to his viral form and escaping into a surveillance camera if it happened. Otherwise, he might just stick around.
Maybe even attack.

"Look, I don't know what this 'PokeDestined' you're talking about is." Yusuke stated. His body was beginning to glow bright blue. It was Rei Gan time.
"But if they care so little about you as to just toss you into the same dimension as this 'glorified errand boy', I don't think they care much for you. Makes me think you're not even SLIGHTLY threatening. And running away in the middle of a fight? Even Kuwabara seems to have more courage than you. I'd Rei Gun the CRAP out of you, but I know you'd just run like the coward you are. In a man's fight, you attack each other until one of you falls. No fancy gimmicks to dodge or anything." Yusuke was mere INCHES away from the computer virus now.
"But you wouldn't know that, would you? Threatening an injured Yokai, that trick you pulled back there..." Yusuke's glow was almost BLINDING.
"Just makes me like you less." And then he propelled his fist forward, the Rei Gan blast releasing.

Zero knew it was going to hurt like hell, but he just didn't care. It's not that he liked pain, he just knew if the combined powers of the gods couldn't do anything but seal him, some pissed off kid on an Arceus high couldn't either. So he stood there, fully aware an attack more painful than the last was coming. He made sure to smirk through all the insults. If he had to get hurt, might as well piss off the attacker as it happened.
"Whoever said I was trying to be a 'man'?" Zero smirked as the attack hit point blank.
Zero burst into his viral form. He had looked Yusuke in the eyes the entire time, even through the blinding light. The distortion formed a stream and shot into the "rock" Yusuke had tripped over at the beginning of the encounter. It took the combined force of the seventeen Chosen and all the gods to seal him.
Although he was going to have to rest a bit after that. He wasn't at full power, after all.
Ginger hopped out from behind the tombstone. She had no idea what PokeDestined or PokeChosen was either, but the mere fact that the opponent had let Yusuke hit him... the fact that he seemed to find the gods nothing but an inconvenience... She couldn't have formed words even if the sword hadn't been in her mouth.

"Yeah, good luck with that. Nice attempt at taunting me before fleeing, though. Alternate-universe-Kuwabara, as I'll call you. Almost pissed me off enough to have me actively go looking for you. But I've got a few more important things to do at the moment." Yusuke noted, turning back to Ginger. The threat was gone, at least.
"Heh. This is the part where you scold me for taking on a guy not even afraid of the gods, right? Or maybe even for fighting him when I should have ran?" Yusuke asked, chuckling a tad. It seemed he wasn't going to get an angry-rant out this time...
...until he totally did.
"Yeah, well, I'LL FIND THAT BASTARD! YOU HEAR ME, FREAK?! AND IT'LL BE ON EQUAL PLAYING GROUNDS." Yusuke called out.
Yeah. He assumed that the reason he couldn't kill the guy was because his Rei Gun wasn't at full power.
"Heh. Koenma's going to be PISSED at all the paperwork. So... what was the deal with that guy, anyway? I didn't sense any spirit energy from him... I could just be a bit weak at the moment, but..."

Ginger placed the sword on the ground and opened her mouth. Then closed it. Open, closed. She looked worried, but was finally able to come up with words.
"I don't know who he is," she paused, "But if he isn't afraid of Arcues-sama, I don't think you should hunt him down. He seemed worried about this PokeDestined..."
But what the hell is a PokeDestined? I get the prefix, but not the context...
"We seem trapped there, though... The energy is off," she had been thinking about that for a while, but had thought Urameshi had realized it. The air seemed distorted somehow.

Yuusuke was ABOUT to respond... when a bright flash cut him off. WHEN SUDDENLY, standing in front of he and the Yokai were Rax'aar and Aby.
A few moments earlier, the following event had transpired:
"Of course I can... still use my penermajig, Abster. I wouldn't be Raxyrax if I couldn't." Rax'aar in his near drunken state had said aloud. And then he pressed the button, and they were gone. Teleported after the dark haired youth.
"See? I... TOLD you I could do it." Rax'aar noted, still stumbling around.
"Dear God. Not you bastards again."

Aby had gotten into a fighting stance seconds before teleporting. Just in case. When she materialized and saw Yuusuke, she took one step foward, her fist pulled all the way back. And then paused. Her eyes got as large as saucers and she just stood there. Staring.
Ginger returned the stare. What was this girl's problem? She flicked here eyes to the side. The girl was a trainer? Finally, something she knew about!
Aby seemed frozen. That was a shiny Pokemon. A shiny NINETAILS. In her world, it was one of the more popular shiny colors due to the beauty of the fur. This Ninetales seemed to have been recently injured, but Aby's mind had derailed so hard she was having trouble thinking past "shiny". Even the sword in Ginger's mouth was second to the sheer amazement at the rarity of the creature.

"...do you two have a date or something? Because if so, I can leave. Feels like the seal's been broken. Not that I wouldn't mind seeing a girl wearing a slightly ripped bra make the attempt to kiss a Yokai, but... Keiko would kill me." Yuusuke looked around. Now where was that... oh no way. No friggin way.
"WHAT THE HELL?! THE EXIT WAS TWO FEET AWAY THE ENTIRE TIME! SCREW YOU, DEMON. SCREW YOU." Yuusuke ranted, staring at the large gate reading 'Cemetery'.
"Bah. This has not been my week. BUT HEY. AT LEAST BOTAN'S NOT HERE, RIGHT? Oh wait..." Yuusuke turned to slightly glare at Ginger.
"Ruin the mood, why don't you?"

Yuusuke's little rant drew Aby out of her own mind, but she didn't continue the pun. Was this guy insane? Rambling on about demons and whatnot? Aby looked back where the teen had looked. Yeah, that was a gate. What was the big issue.
Ginger placed down the sword and hopped over to Aby, "You come from a world of Pokemon, correct?"
Aby slowly turned her head. She did not just hear that. The Ninetales did not just speak.
"Ah-ah... what? Hey, you! Jerkface! You just threw your voice, right?"
Only possible explanation. Right. That eloquent female voice had come from the young adult. Aby totally believed that. No, she didn't. But her mind was grasping at straws here. If nothing else, it had prevented the situation from collapsing into a slugfest... at least for the moment. Yuusuke wasn't known for taking insults well.
Ginger had winced at the insult. She didn't think she could prevent Urameshi from killing the older human woman if he wanted to.

"I'd watch it with the insults! I can kill you all with my finger, you know!" Yuusuke noted, making the shape of his Rei Gun to accent this point.
"And for your information, no. I didn't just completely sound like an eloquent female and project that voice to the Yokai to freak you out. She actually talks. What's so friggin hard to believe about that?"

Aby took a step back, her arms going into a defensive pose. It would be useless against the Rei Gun, but she remembered the encounter before and her body had acted on its own.
"I don't know what the hell a yokai is, but I do know Pokemon can't talk." she said.
"Urameshi-kun, calm down," Ginger said. It was stern, "I'm not a normal Pokemon. My differences go far beyond my fur color."
Ginger tried to step forward again, but managed to collapse. Aby's pose softened as she looked down at the Ninetales, "You're hurt! What did you do to her!?"
Back to yelling at Yuusuke. If only she had some healing items on her... Aby wasn't always the smartest person, letting passion over-ride sense. Pretty similar to Yuusuke in that regard, although they would have likely both punched anyone that suggested it to their face.
