Collaborative Writing Project: TAO: Rize of the Ying-yang



Welcome to The Masters of Animanga: A Wikia Collaborative Writing Project! Join with legendary icons of anime and manga to create three exciting, original stories based on their character designs and outlines.

The inspiration for our second tale, “TAO: Rize of the Ying-yang” comes from the mind of acclaimed manga artist and character designer Shin-ichi Hiromoto (Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness)!

THE WORLD
This is a struggle between white and black, light and shadows, exterior and interior, justice and evil. This is the tale of a transcendental battle between a Buddhist maiden (good) and a witch (evil).

Due to certain circumstances, our young hero is dragged into the “Battle of White and Black.” Plunged into the depths, he becomes a prisoner as he is entranced by both the Buddhist maiden and witch, with whom he also falls in love.

In the course of the battle, what is the youth’s relationship with the Buddhist maiden? What sort of woman is the witch? Will the grey-colored youth be dyed in white or black, or something else entirely?

THE CHARACTERS

 * Witch. Currently nameless. She’s eccentric, but sexy and a user of various magics. She’s a woman who’s difficult to dislike, cool, and somehow manages to play innocent.
 * Buddhist maiden. She exists as seven different characters. Here, she appears as the god of wind (named Fuujichan) and god of lightning (named Raijichan). She uses the statue of Buddha as a motif.

Introduction
A single shard of light shined through the temple window as the seven forms of the Buddhist maiden encircled the statue in deep meditation. Fuujichan was the first to feel the dark presence. But just as she began to call on the power of the wind, the witch appeared in the doorway. “Seven months in the Darkness, thanks to you,” she said. “But now I’m free, and it’s your turn!” In an instant, the witch tossed what, at first, looked like a large rodent into the center of the room and vanished.

Just then, Raijichan realized it wasn’t a rat at all – she’d seen the witch’s tricks too many times before – it was a bomb enchanted with dark magic, and it was about to explode. Raijichan and each of the maiden’s other six forms appeared to fall into a trance all at once – quieting their mind, and focusing their light around the object. And just as the explosion began to flash, it was gone.

In the city, far from the chaos at the temple, a young man pulled off of the busy street and parked his scooter on the sidewalk. He walked inside the market, and emerged moments later with groceries spilling out of his backpack. He pointed his scooter towards home, but just as he was about to turn into the shortcut at the alley, he saw her standing directly in front of him. He hit the brake and nearly had to lay the bike down to avoid slamming into the beautiful, strangely dressed girl with green-tinted hair. “What’s the matter with you,” he yelled, trying to gather his things from the pavement. “I’m going to need your help,” was her reply. --Brian 18:17, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

“Help?” The young man asked, perplexed, “What do you mean?” He further studied the woman. She looked like she was dressed for Halloween, dressed as a witch. She wore a purple hat with a ridiculously large brim that was red underneath, and a tip who’s curl at the top. For some reason she had chains around her neck, wrists and ankles; she also carried what literally looked like a cross between a scythe on one end and a broom on the other! (Anonymius (talk) 17:18, September 13, 2013 (UTC))

A tall, slender being wearing a gas mask and wielding two large titantium khopeshes watched the two young people conversing. Perhaps he could learn something from them. "Killing them sounds like a fun idea, Khopesh," said a feminine, seductive voice. Khopesh looked to his left to see a beautiful, fiery witch with glowing, circular yellow eyes, but only for a moment. The man wasn't sure what she was, nor did he know whether or not she was real, but he chose not to listen to the witch. "The Legion of Swords must never find this place," said Khopesh, making his leave, "and I hope that Hope is nearby." --ScorpionTail (talk) 17:19, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

"Don't pretend you don't know about your abilities Onmyoji." "Onmyoji?" The young man, Ryusei Mibu, recalled a dream in which he encountered a large red fox who taught him a modern form of the ancient Japanese fortune telling art of Onmyodo. "Did Date send you, I should've never told him that dream." "This isn't a joke Mibu," the witch showed her scythe to Mibu's head, "Right now I'm being hunted unjustly by a vengeful maiden and I need your help." With the wave of her weapon, the Witch transported Mibu to an unknown shrine. "What are you?"--Zeromaro (talk) 17:29, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

But the witch wasn't listening she was pacing back and forth, muttering strange words under her breath. Mibu frowned, who was this "Fuujichan" who the girl was muttering about? What did this strange girl want him for? He backed away slowly, carefully placing his steps so the girl wouldn't hear them. He was a few feet away from the shrine now but he tripped over backwards and fell into a road where a blinding light was rushing towards his head. The witch dived for Mibu and crashed into him, throwing him into the bush on the other side of the road where they both landed. Their faces were inches apart, her body against his as she placed one hand over his mouth. "Quiet... Its them." Rainbow Shifter 17:50, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

An Arrival
With that, through the brush, Mibu spotted a strange, colorful stagecoach emanating light. The stagecoach was drawn by a pair of magical creatures -- bears with raccoon eyes and long ears, covered in coats that seemed to change color with the light -- but seemed to float above the ground all the same. The magical stagecoach came to a halt, parallel to the bush, and Mibu, perplexed, began to make a fuss before being muffled by the witch's hand. The doors of the stagecoach flew open in a flash, and a voice -- a soft, calm, resonating thing that rang in Mibu's head like a tiny bell -- called out from the depths of the dark cabin: "I know you're here, little. There's no use in hiding, my dear."

Mhadick (talk) 18:09, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

Out of the corner of his eye, Mibu could see a strange, gas masked man observing them. He looked toward Khopesh, who in turn teleported away to a new location the moment he was seen. "What are ya lookin' at, twinkle toes?" asked the witch's hat suddenly, startling Mibu. "Oh, don't mind Toppa," said the witch, "You get used to him after awhile." --ScorpionTail (talk) 18:19, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

Mibu's brain didn't have time to take in a talking hat before he felt the wind suddenly growing very fierce, followed by the sound of drums and a young girl’s voice crying out “Shining Strike of Divine Judgement!” “WAIT WHAT-?” Mibu had less time to take in what was being said before the witch girl threw him out of the bush. As he flew across the ground he heard what sounded like a missile striking the ground. He looked up to see the bush they had been hiding in was on fire. The Witch Girl had leapt into the air beore gracefully coming back to Earth. (Anonymius (talk) 18:26, September 13, 2013 (UTC))

Mibu ran as far away from the stagecoach and the witch as possible. What is going on?! He thought and another voice, from the depths of his head whispered to him, giving him directions and moving his body to follow those directions. Before the exhausted boy knew it he found himself stood in front of the girl who had emerged from the stagecoach. Rainbow Shifter 18:30, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

"Yasunori," said the girl teary eyed, "I have waited ages for this." "Who now?" "As a result of reincarnation, you may not remember me; but you promised me that when reunited you an I shall be together and rid the world of suffering." "Don't listen to her, Mibu!" The witch used a type of magic that repelled Mibu and the maiden away from each other. "It seems I should do more than just take your name," The maiden assumed the form of Raijichan with Mibu losing more of his mind.--Zeromaro (talk) 18:49, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

A dark figure watches the unfolding events and narrows her eyes upon seeing Mibu. "That boy will be a nuisance in the grand scheme of things... If he couldn't be used as a pawn. I'll let the cards decide." The woman summons a deck of cards and draws and ace and a joker. She smiles darkly as she forces the cards into the ball and watches the outcome of her action. --ChaosWyvern-i (talk) 18:50, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

“I should have known that you would survive that rat bomb!” The Witch snarled, “Where are your other selves?” “They’re around,” Raijuchan replied, “but I don’t need them to take you down!” The Witch let out a high pitched cackle, before raising her arms. “Shadow Witch Snare!” She cried, as nearby shadows took on lives of their own, tentacles shooting at the lightning girl, who suddenly blazed with electricity, driving away the tentacles. Mibu mouth was open as he watched this spectacle. (Anonymius (talk) 19:15, September 13, 2013 (UTC))
