Ichigo was astonished by what he saw emerging from the portal. There were a huge number of graves surrounding the portal. He was in a graveyard who had never overcame the astonishment and began to read the headers on the graves in order to understand the truth about that place.
Ichigo pondered:"M×0, Double Arts, Psyren, Oumagadoki Doubutsuen. Hmmm,I don't remember having ever heard these names. Perhaps I am no longer in the kingdom."
At that moment, Ichigo noticed a grave that stood out among all the other tombs and he determined to approach it.
This grave was wealthy and elaborate, whereas the others graves were predominantly bare and miserable.
Incidentally, Ichigo read the inscription on the grave in a loud voice: "Shaman King".
At the sound of those words the grave began to glow and a dazzling light momentarily blinded Ichigo.
To his great surprise, Ichigo saw a spirit hovering in the air.
The Spirit immediately began to talk:"My name is Yoh Asakura and I am a shaman.I died unfairly and too soon,but my powers have allowed me to come back to life. Your words have awakened me and now I will take my revenge."
Ichigo stuttered: "Revenge? Revenge for what?"
The spirit answered:"Revenge for my unjust death.I was a citizen of the kingdom of jumps and I had a peaceful life. One day I received an anonymous letter. The letter said: "You're not interesting enough to live in this realm. You have 4 weeks to leave the kingdom or you will die.".I discovered that others had received the same letter. Some of them had decided to believe the contents of the letter and leave the realm. I suspected this was just a bad joke and decided to ignore four weeks later I feel a pang in my heart and I died shortly the deaths were classified as natural and no one tried to investigate the reasons of the deaths.".
Ichigo was stunned:"I really don't know anything about this story. I swear it".
"IT Doesn't Matter. The residents of the castle had vowed to protect the kingdom from every danger. But, instead of improving the condition of the kingdom, you decided to live a dissolute life inside the castle. But now you'll pay. Now I will use my powers to call up the spirit from the other graves. We will take revenge on you, along with the rest of the inhabitants of the castle.".
Ichigo fell to his knees, still shocked by what was happening all of a sudden. Weeping, he said:"I beg you...please stop this madness! If a death is required to calm you and the other restless spirits, I will offer my life. My only desire has always been protect all the people of the kingdom. But it looks like I have failed. I just want to atone for my faults.".
The angry spirit was not fast enough to respond to the offer. Someone was emerging by the same portal from where Ichigo had emerged from the portal as a beast leaps out from the one hand he carried Gintoki unconscious and with the body covered with wounds.
He immediately began to shout:"Ichigo! Where are you? I am come to eliminate you as the king's I suspect that you intend to keep this case, before continuing the hunt, I will give the coup de grace to your friend here. When I asked about you, he has tried to deny that he had seen you but I felt your scent on him. So I hit him from behind as he deserves, because he betrayed the king,and I continued to follow your scent trail to the ,Ichigo, what will you do?Will you try to save your friend?I suspect that you will continue to behave like a coward and that you'll run away like a frightened dog.".
When these words reached the place where Ichigo was,they shaken the despair that was gripping stood up quickly on his feet,drew his sword and headed to the area of the said to the spirit:" Sorry. I now have a mission to accomplish. Once I rescued my friend, I am prepared to put myself at your mercy. Always assuming that I survive the battle, of course.".
In that instant, a clouded constellation in the sky began to shine again.
