YU YU HAKUSHO The Second Movie, Poltergeist Report

 

 (A raging storm is brewing in the spirit world. Thunder crashes as Koenma is looking out the window of his office.)

 

Koenma: What the hell is going on here?  This amount of rain is not normal!

 

(Foot steps run up to Koenma’s office, before a blue ogre with yellow hair enters)

 

Blue Ogre: Lord Koenma!

 

Koenma: What is it?!

 

Blue Ogre: The river Styx is…!

 

(Koenma gasps at what he hears, while out side ogres who were trying to bar the river are swept away as the river over flows and cuts through their reinforcements.)

 

Ogre 1:  Tsunami!!

 

Ogre 2: Close the gates!

 

(The Ogres that return to the front doors of the Gate of Judgment assist in getting the massive doors closed. However their efforts are in vain as the force of the water brakes through the large wooden doors and all are swept away.)

 

Ogre 3:  Water has broken through the Gate of Judgment!

 

Ogre 4: There’s a crack in the upper part of the Gate…!

 

Ogre 5: Take all of the important files!  Grab everything!

 

Blue Ogre: What should we do?

 

(Koenma is sitting at his desk looking on, the Blue Ogre runs in and hides behind Koenma’s chair.)

 

Ogre 6: Lord Koenma!

 

Koenma: What is it?

 

Ogre 7: The second and third levels have been submerged! If this keeps up all the gates will be in danger!

 

Ogre 8: The shield has collapsed! It cannot be repaired!

 

(Water is starting to flood into the upper levels of the Gate of Judgment. Koenma still is seated at his desk and the Blue Ogre is still hiding behind Koenma’s chair.)

 

Blue Ogre: It is dangerous, Lord Koenma please seek refuge! What’s the matter with you, Lord Koenma?!

 

Koenma:  I don’t believe it…!  Summon Botan!  I will be in the Great Vault!

 

Blue Ogre: But, my Lord, now is not the time to--

 

Koenma: Hurry up!

 

Blue Ogre: My Lord!

 

(In the anti-chamber of the great vault Botan, flies in front of a mural depicting of a great fight that King Enma apparently won. Looking very much, like a fly in comparison to the great painting as she looks for Koenma.) 

 

Botan: Lord Koenma! Lord Koenma!

 

Koenma: I'm here, Botan!

 

(Botan gasps as she spots Koenma fighting the current of the river, but loses his grip and drifts off. Botan races off after him.)

 

Botan: Lord Koenma! Lord Koenma!!!

 

(An Explosion erupts! We find the Botan has rescued Koenma and the two are on a ledge temporarily. Koenma hands something to Botan.)   

 

Koenma: This cannot end up in their hands! Hurry and take it to Yusuke. There’s no other way to save the Spirit World. Do you understand?

 

Botan: Yes!

 

Koenma: Go, Botan! I have to remain here, hurry.

 

Botan: Yes!

 

(Botan summons her oar and takes off, she glances back at her Lord as she leaves.)

 

Koenma: Keep going, Botan! (Is swept away.) Hurry! 

 

(Botan, bursts through the roof of the Gate of Judgment. Looking back once more, she watches in horror as the waters of the River Styx consume her home world.)

 

Botan: LOOORRRRDDDDDD  KOOOENNNMAAAAA!!!!!

 

(Attempting to escape to the Human-world she is struck by lighting and falls into the waters below her.)

 

Title: Yu Yu Hakusho, Poltergeist Report, The Bonds Of Fire.

 

 (It’s a normal day, the sun is shining, birds are singing, and Yusuke as usual is on the roof cutting class.)

 

Keiko: Oh!  Where did he go now?


(Keiko leaves the class room in an irritated fashion and heads to the roof of the school.)

 

Yusuke: Boy, am I hungry.  Maybe I should eat my lunch now.

 

(Yusuke stretches and yawns when a drop of water hits his face. Looking up he sees a battered and soaked Botan fall limply off the stairwell.)

 

Yusuke: What?! Botan!

 

(Yusuke runs up and catches her.)

 

Yusuke: Hey, Botan!  What happened to you? Talk to me!  What happened to you, Botan?!  Botan!

 

(Botan regains conciseness.)

 

Botan: (Weakly) The Spirit World is…..The Spirit World! The Spirit…..!

 

Yusuke: The Spirit World is what?

 

(Botan’s losing consciousness again.)

 

Yusuke: Botan!

    

Botan: Must… go to …Kasane Shrine…. find Hinageshi.

    

Yusuke: What’s that?

    

Botan: Please…please, Yusuke.

 

(Botan faints, Yusuke rushes her to the door, just as Keiko exits the stairwell to the roof.)

          

Yusuke: Keiko!

    

(Keiko notices her unconscious friend.)

 

Keiko: Botan!  What happened to you?

    

Yusuke: I have no idea what’s going on here.

    

Keiko: Botan…

    

Yusuke: Keiko, please take Botan from me and take her to Genkai’s temple. You must hurry!

 

(Keiko nods in understanding. Yusuke and Kuwabara are run to Kasane Shrine.)

 

Kuwabara: So, what’s at Kasane shrine? 

 

Yusuke: I don’t know.   

 

Kuwabara: You don’t know?! (Grabs Yusuke by the Jacket.) Hey, you mean to tell me you didn’t find out any details?

 

(Yusuke swats away Kuwabara’s hands.)

 

Yusuke: There was no time for that!

    

Kuwabara: (Folds arms.) You’re really not any use at all. I would have found out everything first--

 

(A girl shrieks cutting off Kuwabara.)

   

Yusuke: From over there!

 

(Yusuke pushes Kuwabara into a wall and uses him as a human ladder to jump over it)

 

Kuwabara: H-hey!

 

Yusuke: Heads up!

    

Kuwabara: Yusuke! You bastard!

 

(At the shrine a little girl (Physically looks about 12-13 ) with bright red hair and green eyes dressed in the garb of a shrine maiden, is being chased by some really ugly guys. But soon the men change into their true demon selves, So now the girl is being chased by monsters.)

 

Girl: What do you want? Get away from me!

 

(One of the demons throws a stone arm to block her path The girl, leap frogs over it and runs down a steep flight of stairs, The demons close behind. Yusuke jump in and starts beating the crap out the demons. The girl hides behind a small hutch I believe is used for offerings.)

 

Yusuke: SHOT GUN!

 

(Yusuke’s fist glows with blue light and he blows away some of the demons, but not all of them. The girl peeks out from her hiding place, and a demon that looks like a Cycloptic Mummy lands in front of her. As the demon rears up we see a mark in the shape of a cross (Not the one Christ was hung from) on the demon’s chest. It grabs the girl around the neck with one hand and starts to strangle her. The other demons are laughing in amusement. Kuwabara bursts on to the scene disposing of one demon and slaughtering the demon holding the girl. The girl is thrown and lands hard on the flagstone walk way Kuwabara lands by the girl and grabs her shoulders.)

 

Kuwabara: You’re safe now.

 

(The girl sees two demons behind Kuwabara, and screams getting out of the way. The two demons try to kill Kuwabara but he moves out of the way in time.)

    

Demons: Die!

 

Kuwabara: Okay, SPIRIT SWORD, YAH!

 

(Kuwabara slices a demon strait down the middle, and slashes through several other demons while Yusuke pounds others to death. Kuwabara finishes off the last demon and ends up destroying a Stone Lantern as well. He looks at the damage sheepishly.) 

 

Kuwabara: Uh oops.  I didn’t mean to do that.

 

(Kuwabara glances over at one of the demons, who has the symbol of a cross on his forehead. The symbol glows then fades to non-existence Kuwabara then banishes his Spirit Sword. The girl comes out of hiding.)

 

Yusuke: Are you okay?

 

Girl: Yes! You two are investigators from the Spirit World aren’t you?

 

Yusuke: And you are…?

    

Girl: I’m Hinageshi, guide to the Spirit World.

 

(At a remote temple in the middle of a forest Yusuke and Kuwabara are gathered with Hinagashi and Genkai. All of them are sitting around a feverish Botan Botan’s hair is let lose from its usual pony tail. The blue haired girl is currently in a feverish state.)

 

Girl: Botan… What is this? What could have happened?

 

(Keiko walks into the room with a with a bowl of water and places a wash cloth on Botan’s forehead. Yusuke looks at Botan then up at Genkai.)

 

Yusuke: Genkai, how is her condition?

   

Genkai: I’m not sure.  It’s still in the balance.  Something serious must have happened to the Spirit World. 

 

(Genkai glances to a side door; Yusuke also glances in that direction as Kurama enters. He is dressed in a pair of white tweed pants, and a dark blue turtle-neck with a black windbreaker.)

 

Kuwabara: Kurama!

    

Kurama: The Spirit World… It was…it was gone.

    

Kuwabara: What?!?

 

(Every one gasps in surprise. In the next room)

 

Kurama: Actually, that is not accurate. I should say it was completely covered by water.

 

Kuwabara: But-but why?

   

Kurama: Some immeasurably strong power but have gained control.

    

Kuwabara: No way…

    

Genkai: What could have the power to do that to the Spirit World?

 

Kurama: When I was there, some phantoms wearing the pattern of a cross on their foreheads were franticly looking for something.

    

Hinageshi: Oh!  It must have been the Netherworld!

 

(Genkai hmm’s as if the name sounded familiar.)

 

Yusuke: Netherworld…?

    

Hinageshi: Those phantoms that Kurama saw, were demons controlled by the Netherworld. Their symbol is that cross on their foreheads.

    

Kuwabara: Hey, hold it. What is this “Netherworld”?  As far as I know, (Ticks each world off on his fingers.) there are just the Human World, Spirit World, and the Demon World, right?

 

(Hinageshi reaches into her Kimono and pulls out her guide book.)

 

Hinageshi: Let’s see. Ah, hear it is. To begin with, above the Human World lies the Spirit World. The two of them remain in constant balance with each other.

 

(As Hinagashi speaks the scene shifts to the Huge Mural depicting the fight between the Spirit World and the Demon World in the Anti-Chamber of the Great Vault.) 

 

Kuwabara: Humans who have died do go to the Spirit World.  

 

Hinageshi: Right and the Netherworld was above and in balance with the Demon World as well. Then, several thousand years ago, the Netherworld began a war with the Spirit World in order to gain possession of the Human World. Exactly how we were able to defeat them is still unknown to this day.  But Emperor Enma did finally destroy the Netherworld and banished their King Yakumo and his men to the cold darkness of space. And that’s it.

 

Yusuke: So if that’s true, how did the Netherworld come back into existence? 

    

Genkai: If the Netherworld is responsible for this disturbance...it could become a very dangerous situation for us all. Even with our powers, we cannot repel them on our own. 

 

(Everyone in the room sits silently in thought as a sinister wind blows through the room and the trees out side. In one high tree Hiei stands silently. He had been listening to the conversation.)

 

Hiei: The Netherworld. Well in any case, it has nothing to do with me.

        

(Hiei starts to zip off to where ever turning back he hears about another visitor to Genkai’s temple.)

 

Kuwabara: Yukina! Yukina is here?!  Whoooh! Yukina! Yukina, Yukina!

 

(Kuwabara bursts out of the temple door and prances down the porch chanting Yukina’s name)

 

Keiko: Kazuma, she’s with Botan.

 

(Kuwabara prances in the other direction, Keiko steps out of the way to avoid getting run over. Kuwabara arrives at the room where Botan is sleeping and throws open the door.)

 

Kuwabara: Yukina! Ah Yukina, it is me Kazuma. It’s so very nice to see you. Huh, Yukina…

 

(Yukina looks up at him, her eyes brimming with tears.)

 

Yukina: Oh Kazuma…I’m sorry. I’m glad to see you, but… 

    

Kuwabara: Don’t…

    

Yukina: But why is… Botan…?

    

Kuwabara: An unhappy face like that doesn’t suit you, Yukina. No… I, the mighty Kazuma Kuwahara, shall resolve everything for all of us! Soon we’ll all be smiling happily again.  Oh Yukina!

 

(Yukina smiles up at him. Kuwabara kneels and gathers her hands in his. His faces also turns red, steam rises from his neck.)

 

Yukina: Oh Kazuma, a-are you alright? Your temperature is going up and up!

 

Kuwabara: That is the power of love.

 

Yukina: (Mentally) He’s so hard to understand.

 

(The two of them laugh.)

 

Keiko: Kuwahara! Your in the way!

 

(Hiei zips down and watches his sister from the garden.)

 

Hiei: Yukina….

 

Kurama: So, Hiei. Why don’t you tell Yukina you are her older brother?

 

(Hiei glances to the right but, doesn’t turn around Kurama is leaning against a post in a corner of the garden. The shadows the around him seem to melt before he speaks again.)

 

Hiei: I don’t need your advice.

    

Kurama: Right… You saw the Spirit World, the condition it is in. This is no ordinary event.

 

Hiei: How would I know?

 

(Hiei zips off. Kurama watches him leave. A new day begins, Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara meet with Hinageshi and Genkai to discus how they were to be able to ward off the Netherworld)

 

Kuwabara:  So what should we do, Hinageshi?

    

Hinageshi: We have to transmit power to the Spirit World. 

 

Kuwabara: How do we do that?

    

Hinageshi: Look here. (Places a scroll down in front of her.) There are places in the Human World called Elemental Sites, where Spiritual Energy is collected.

 

Yusuke: Elemental Sites?

    

Kuwabara: Like storage tanks for Spiritual power?

    

Hinageshi: Yes, something like that. In the Human World there are five of these Elemental Sites representing the Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and The Spirit. If they are all unsealed that amassed Spiritual Power will be sent to the Spirit World.

    

Kuwabara: With that power we will be able to restore the Spirit World. So, where are they?

         

Hinageshi: I know where to look.

    

Kuwabara: All right then! Leave it to me!

 

(In the city sometime the previous night a dark and sinister man with wild white hair walks down a tunnel. He grins evilly.)

 

Evil Man: Come, my servants!

 

(He sends a blast of purplish pink energy down the tunnel it explodes out side, as if a bomb went off. Three red lights come down from the sky and converge on top of a building that is being constructed.)

 

Evil Man: Are you here with me?

    

Bald Demon: Yes my lord! Your three Demon Gods, have arrived. 

    

Evil Man: Now! Our strategy has entered the second stage. It’s time to make the power of the Elemental Sites ours. Go!

 

Demon Gods: My lord.

 

(A woman stops at a produce shop. Yusuke, Kurama, and Kuwabara follow Hinageshi up the street as they look for the elemental sites)

 

Man: Can I interest you in any produce?

 

Woman: Yes, I was looking for some avocados. Do you carry those?

 

Man: Yes, ma’am!

 

(Hinageshi stops to examine the map.)

 

Hinageshi: Okay, turn at this corner, so north is behind you...

 

Kuwabara: Come on!  Where the hell is it?

 

Hinageshi: Hold on a minute! 

 

(The ground shakes suddenly taking the foursome by surprise. Kurama and Yusuke look around suspiciously.)

 

Kuwabara: What? What is this, an earthquake?

 

(All four look in the sky and see a column of pinkish-purple light ascending into the sky.)

 

Hinageshi: It’s the Elemental Site representing Earth!

 

Kurama:  Yusuke, lets move!

 

 (The four friends arrive at a shrine and are nearly blown away, by the awesome power of the elemental site. Streaming out is a mass of purplish pink energy.)

    

Kuwabara: Oh my god! What’s going on?!

    

Yusuke: Oh…it’s incredible!

    

Hinageshi: This is no good.

    

Kuwabara: What do ya mean, “No good”?!

    

Hinageshi: Look there…look at that color!  The Elemental Site has been destroyed.  What is streaming out isn’t Spiritual Power but the power of the Netherworld!  

    

Yusuke: The Netherworld!

    

Hinageshi: Those demons are able to convert Spiritual Power into Netherworld Power.

    

Kuwabara: So that’s Netherworld Power--? 

 

(Hinagashi gasps and looks at her guide book for a moment.)

 

Hinageshi: If they are able to steal the power from each of the Elemental Sites, then they…

    

Kuwabara: Yeah… then…?

    

Hinageshi: Then the Spirit World will be inaccessible forever! 

    

(Kuwabara freaks.)

 

Yusuke: And then there will be nothing any of us will be able to do!

    

Hinageshi: Right!

 

Yusuke: Let’s hurry! They may still be ahead of us, but we must protect the other sites! Let’s split up! Are you ready?! 

    

Kuwabara: Okay!

 

(Hinageshi and Yusuke run together along the harbor determined to get to get to next elemental site.)

 

Hinageshi: I’ll never be able to repay Botan the kindness I owe her.

    

Yusuke: Kindness?

    

Hinageshi: I always made mistakes and caused problems for Botan.

    

Yusuke: No! Don’t give up!

    

Hinageshi: I’ll try my hardest, Yusuke.

 

(The two reach what seemed to be a dead end for them.)

 

Hinageshi: Umm…let see. Oh it’s this way! Up these stairs!  

 

Yusuke: Alright. Let’s go!

 

(Yusuke and Hinageshi race up the stairs and then come to a stop.)

 

Hinageshi: What is it?

 

(Hinageshi looks ahead of her and gasps.)

 

Hinageshi: Everything is completely different!

 

(A head of them is a road of apartment buildings. Yusuke and Hinageshi continue to search for the Elemental Site. Up ahead one of the buildings crumbles as if it was demolished.)

 

Hinageshi: Oh Yusuke, it crumbled just like that!

 

(Three Demons leap onto the rubble for a moment before diving into to it.)

 

Yusuke: Netherworld demons.

    

Hinageshi: Oh, they beat us here again!

    

Yusuke: Come on!  We may still make it!

 

Hinageshi: Wait!

 

(Yusuke and Hinageshi follow the demons into a car port below. The three demons approach the Elemental site.)

 

Hinageshi: Look that’s the Elemental Site of Fire!

 

Yusuke: What?! Hold it!

 

(Yusuke runs forward determined, to stop the demons from destroying the Elemental Site. Oddly these demons look like some of the demon’s from the audience of the Ankoku Bojitsukai.) 

 

Yusuke: Get away from thaaat!!!

 

(The demons see him. One of the demons leaps at him, Yusuke punches him away. Another rushes at him, Yusuke dodges him and then head buts him in the side of the face, before punching him away. The third demon leaps into the air with a sword and attempting to slice Yusuke in half. Yusuke clasps his hands together at he jumped out of the way and brings his them down on the back of the demons head. The demon hits the ground and is suddenly burned away.)

 

Yusuke: It’s over, Hinageshi!  What do we do now?

 

(The car lights illuminating the site suddenly switch off.)

 

Yusuke: You’ve got to be kidding me!

 

(A couple of cars explode and Hinageshi screams in terror.)

                                                     

Yusuke: Hinageshi!!

 

(Yusuke runs to her aid, but is blown aside by an exploding car.)

 

Yusuke: Ah, damn!

 

Hinageshi: My body!  What is this?!

 

(Hinageshi is being levitated in mid-air. Purpleish-pink light starts to envelope her. The dark and sinisterly ugly man from earlier approaches her)

 

Hinageshi: Oh no stop!

 

(He holds his hand over Hinageshi as if scanning her for something. Then he brings his hand down in disappointment.)

 

Evil Man. This girl is not the one I seek.

    

Yusuke: Wait!

    

Yakumo: It seems your friend is still here.

 

(The man glance at Yusuke then manipulates Hinagashi so she is shifted while in mid-air.)

 

Yusuke: Stop it! No!

 

(Hinageshi is thrown at Yusuke. Yusuke catches her, but is knocked down doing so. The man approaches them.)

 

Yusuke: Oh you really did it now!

 

(Yusuke gets up and runs at the man.)

 

Yusuke: Come on!

 

(Yusuke attempts to punch the man who deftly dodges as if he just floated out of the way.)

 

Yusuke: Aw damn!

 

(The man knees Yusuke in the gut sending him crashing into a parked car. Yusuke painfully sits up. The man is somewhat surprised by this.)

 

Man: A normal human you are not?! There for you must be a tool for the Spirit World.

 

(Yusuke knocks open the door of car and tumbles out. He then struggles to get up again.)

 

Yusuke: Who are you? Tell me!

 

Yakumo: King of the Netherworld, Yakumo.  

 

(Hinageshi unbeknownst to them over hears.)

 

Hinageshi: Yakumo… YUSUKE!

 

(Yusuke doesn’t hear her warning so he readies his Spirit Gun and fires.)

 

Yusuke: Here we go! Spirit Gun!

 

(Surprisingly to Yusuke, it gets deflected.)

 

Yusuke: What! I-It didn’t get through to him!

 

Yakumo: Your power is nothing. (Holds out his hand.) Be gone!

 

(Purplish-pink energy floods the area. Yusuke gets shocked by energy bolts to Netherworld power. Yakumo walks toward the Elemental site as Hinageshi comes out of hiding and runs up to Yusuke.)

 

Hinagashi: Yusuke! Are you okay?!

 

(Hinagashi rolls Yusuke’s head onto her lap. Yakumo stops fight feet away from the Elemental Site and destroys it with a blast of Netherworld power.)

 

Hinageshi: Yusuke!  (Looks over at Yakumo) Yakumo! King of the Netherworld! But why…?!

 

(Yakumo blasts the Elemental Site again charging it with Netherworld power. The Elemental Site erupts into a column of Netherworld power. Yakumo turns and seems to walk toward Yusuke and Hinageshi. Yusuke who has regained conciseness tenses and is ready for anything. Yakumo however disappears.)

 

Yusuke: Damn! (Punches the floor.)

 

(Yakumo stand on a rock in the middle of the sea that had once been the Reikai. Waves crash around him.)

 

Yakumo: Power Sphere… source of our energy. Plundered in the distant past by the Spirit World… Once it has been returned to us, our hopes will finally be realized. The leaders of the Spirit World must have hidden it well. They would not have it protected by such small beings.


(Below the water the Gate of Judgment rests like the Titanic surrounded by purplish-pink light.)

 

Yakumo: Where is it? Where did they hide it?

 

(The lake, ducks fly way in the for ground as Kuwabara runs down a foot path that leads to a small island in the center of the lake. On the island is a small mound like hut which houses the Elemental Site.)

 

Kuwabara: This must be the Elemental Site of the Soul. Alright, its time to open it up. Huh…what? Whoa!

 

(Kuwabara cracks his knuckles in preparation. Something bubbles in the water, when Kuwabara goes to investigate a column of water shoots up and turns mirror like. Kuwabara looks at his reflection for a moment before turning back to the site.  He returns and starts making face’s his reflection smirks and laughs at him speaking with someone else’s voice.)  

 

Kuwabara’s reflection: Fools are amusing.

    

Kuwabara: Hey! Who the hell are you?!

 

(Kuwabara’s reflection laughs evilly at him as he walks toward Kuwabara. However instead of the mirror image of Kuwabara walking out of the water column, a some what effeminate, pale blue skinned, demon with long light blue hair emerges.) 

    

Demon: I am one of the three demon gods of the Netherworld, Majari. I shall destroy that elemental site.

    

Kuwabara: Go ahead! Give it your best shot!

    

Majari: I shall kill anyone in my way.

    

Kuwabara: Ooh, aren’t you superior? Spirit Sword! 

 

(Kuwabara calls forth his sword)

         

Majari: Ooh that looks interesting. 

    

Kuwabara: Come on! I’m going to kick….

    

Majari: Spirit Sword!

 

(Majari calls a Spirit Sword of his own.)

 

Majari: Let me show you what I’m known for. I can mirror my opponents and I have copied your skills. So you have no chance at victory.

   

Kuwabara: Say that after we’ve fought! Come on!

 

(The two fight, but Majari true to his word matches Kuwabara blow for blow and lands a slash to Kuwabara’s shoulder drawing blood. Majari laughs at Kuwabara while Kuwabara growls at the mirror demon. Meanwhile Hiei stands on a high vantage point. Turning we see that his Jagan is open to assist him in finding the Elemental Site. )

              

Hiei: It’s over there!

 

(Locating the site he starts toward it when a red haired demon crashes through a glass window and charges at him. The two have a mid-air battle. A blue haired demon who looks like the red haired demon attacks Hiei who notices just in time.  The red haired demon attempts an attack from above. Again Hiei sees this in time. Both the red haired and blue haired demons attempt to strike him as one Hiei dodges their strikes. The three of them descend on to what appears to be the freeway below causing a few cars to crash as the drivers swerve to avoid hitting them. )

 

Hiei: Don’t mess with me!

 

(The red haired demon lands on a road sign and is sliced in half by Hiei. The blue haired demon seems to have mortally wounded Hiei with his sword.  Hiei suddenly disappears and reappears behind Blue haired demon before slaying him. A tall, bald, cloaked demon appears behind Hiei. Hiei sees him just before is sent flying into a building and then fall into the river below by the force of the demon’s Jagan. In the meantime Kurama is about to face some demons of his own. He starts to glow and send his energy into the Elemental Site. )

         

Kurama: Yes!

 

(He doesn’t notice a strange mist is forming behind him. Within it a demon starts to transform into another demon apparently someone Kurama knows or knew.)

    

Monster: I have taken your past!

    

Kurama: Who’s that?!

 

(Kurama turns defensively.)

    

Monster: “Who is that?” I can’t believe you would say that to your old partner.

 

(The demon swings a red-stone pendant hypnotically. A train passed on the bridge illuminating them with its passing light. )

    

Kurama: Kuronue….

    

Kuronue: Or do you mean to say you have forgotten about your terrible past? 

 

(We get a good look at the demon. A demon dressed in black and gray with bat like ears and wings.)

 

Kuronue: Hello Kurama.

   

Kurama: (Gasps) You’re still alive!

    

Kuronue: Try to remember that day. The day we snuck into the palace of the Demon World.  

 

(Flash Back. Youko Kurama and Kuronue are scampering away from a palace. Kurama has a Gold Mirror under his arm.  Solders go running after them.  As they are running the chain of Kuronue’s pendant snaps. He uses a stalk of bamboo like a spring board and goes after it. )

    

Youko Kurama: DON'T, KURONUE!

    

Kuronue: I need it!

 

(Kuronue picks up the pendant and was going to rejoin Kurama when spike of bamboo strikes him in the leg and cages around him. Kurama in silent horror.)

    

Youko Kurama: KURONUE!

    

Kuronue: You… traitor!

 

(End of flash back.)

 

Kuronue: You deliberately cut my pendant in order to trap me!

 

(Clip of Youko Kurama reaching out with an evil grin on his face. His eyes glow red. )

 

Kuronue: You sacrificed me so that you alone could escape! 

 

(Clip of Youko Kurama smirking maliciously and then running off.)

              

Kurama: (Starts to get frustrated.)  No…! No, that’s not what happened!

                        

Kuronue: How dare you say that to me, after trying to kill me!

    

Kurama: What are you talking about?! That day… I tried to save you! (Emotions start to over take him.)

     

Kuronue: You set a trap for me and then you left me to die, while you saved yourself.

 

(Kurama’s face is reflected in Korunoe’s blue eyes. We can see what looks like drops of sweat but then again they could also be tears on his face. Kurama’s reflection is replaced with Youko Kurama with an evil look on his face. Kuronue throws his scythe at Kurama. Kurama attempt to dodge but is hit anyway and falls to the ground. He looks up just in time to see Kuronue destroys the Elemental Site. The Netherworld energy blasts up into the air. )

 

Kuronue: Goodbye old partner. (Disappears)      

 

Kurama: Where have you gone?! Kuronue…! (Keels over in pain)

 

(Kuwabara is still squared off when he sees a couple more columns of Netherworld energy shoot into the air.)

 

Majari: So then, it would appear we have opened the other sites.

 

Kuwabara: No way.

 

(Kuwabara looks up in time and sees Majari leaping at him and parries Majari’s blow. Yusuke and Hinageshi arrive at the lake Yusuke sees the battle that’s going on.)  

 

Yusuke: Kuwahara!

    

Hinageshi: No wait!  Look at the weapon he has!

    

Yusuke: A Spirit Sword!

     

Hinageshi: That demon has the ability to mirror his opponent’s techniques as well as the powers and use them against him. His name is Majari, one of the three despised Demon Gods from the Netherworld. 

    

Yusuke: What…?!

    

Hinageshi: You can’t help him, Yusuke! If you try, he’ll steal your techniques, too!

 

(Majari manages to knock Kuwabara to the ground disabling Kuwabara’s Sword.)
