Ten years after the end of the dark tournament the citizens of demon city are rioting about the recent victory of Team Urameshi. They want a chance to redeem themselves from getting their butts kicked by the human team. They are now looking for the new "sacrificial lambs" that they think they can easily beat.
After preparations have been made for this tourney, and koenma gives the ok, the search continues for the new weak lings to be invited to this deadly game of life and death.
Meanwhile in the living world a teenager is rushing home from school. His name is Darnell Price and he's just trying to get home so he can a ride to the gym where he boxes at. Then, he sees two shady figures standing in the only alley he can use to get to his house he stops and thinks. "Aw man". Then proceeds.
Almost instantly upon entering the alley he gets a bad feeling about the guys when they say:
"Hey you kid, get outta here" Darnell looks up and says
"No" then the people get closer and he realizes they aren't human
They lunge at him and Darnell applies some basic techniques on one of the guys and then the other one starts to get bigger and then he doesn't even look human any more he walks up to Darnell and picks him up.
"You'll make a great sacrifice at the dark tournament."
"what's that" Darnell says
"you'll see, you have three months to get four others to fight with you"
"fight, why me"
"why you? look at my brother you hit him so hard you KILLED him and I plan to pay you back with interest! And if you don't fight I'll kill all your loved ones"
Then the demon runs away leaving his "brothers" body in the alley.
Afterward Darnell "thinks where can I find four people". "They have to be strong but who can I find that will be willing"
After pondering this, Darnell walks home to think. Needless to say he wasn't going to the gym he was to scared.
