*Note, at this point, Yusuke has learned how to fly*
[Yusuke flies down to where the water is coming out. He cups his hand to catch some water and drinks it while investigating the crevice.]
Yusuke Voiceover: I’m no expert, but it looks like spheres were cut out from all along here, which can’t be normal.
[Yusuke feels the holes near where the water is emerging from. Behind him, vines shoot out from the underbrush and wrap around Yusuke.]
Yusuke: Hey! What’s the big idea? Let go!
[Yusuke starts to fly back up. Kurama jumps out from where the vines are coming from.]
Yusuke: Ku-Kurama? What do you think you’re doing?
Kurama: Heh.
[Kurama pulls the vines down to send Yusuke crashing into the ground. Kurama lands in front and reaches into his pocket.]
Kurama: Don’t worry. It will all be over soon.
[Kurama pulls out a handful of powder. He starts to blow, but Yusuke powers up and breaks his bind, flying back up.]
Yusuke: I don’t think so!
Kurama: ROSE WHIP!
[Kurama pulls out his whip while jumping and lashes it towards Yusuke. Yusuke shoots upwards to dodge and curves overhead. Upside-down, Yusuke points his finger.]
Yusuke: SPIRIT GUN!
[Kurama turns with his whip. As the spirit gun blast nears, the whip hits it. Kurama releases energy, causing his whip to glow red as it holds the blast back. Electricity cackles around the clashing powers. Kurama pulls the whip, causing its thorns to slice through the blast. Splitting it in two, each half of the shot is sent to a different side. The explosions damage the scenery but neither of the fighters. Kurama stands firm as the blasts blow his hair. Yusuke flips to land right side up. Kurama snaps his whip again. The whip hits a branch in Yusuke’s hand.]
Yusuke: Whoa, hey! I know I’ve been dying to test my skills against yours, but now really isn’t the time.
[Yusuke tosses the branch.]
Kurama: [smirk] Who said anything about a test?
[Kurama extends an arm with plants shooting out towards Yusuke.]
