"Well, I guess everything started the day Manta met me." Yoh said beginning the story. Everyone was in the Dojo, listening to Yoh's story. Manta was a blond midget who carried around a dictionary.
"Manta was late for cram school so he took the shortcut through the cemetery. He then met me while I was looking at the stars. Manta was not a Shaman, but actually a human who could see ghosts. He was freaked out at first and ran away. I went to the same school as him and he freaked out there too. Curiosity brought him back to the Graveyard, but he didn't find me, he found Ryu the Wooden Sword and his gang." Yoh looked towards a guy with a wooden sword who looked like an Elvis impersonator.
"Manta was beaten up and the next night I took him with me to the graveyard. I integrated with Amidamaru who was a 600 year old spirit nicknamed the 'Fiend' for a reason. We took care of Ryu's gang and later Amidamaru joined with me. A kid by the name of Ren Tao then came to fight and then his sister later." Yoh nodded towards a kid whose hair went to a point and an older green haired girl with a man beside her.
"The reason was because they wanted Amidamaru for the Shaman Fights. The Shaman Fights came every 500 years and the winner would be declared Shaman King. The Shaman King would be able to do anything. I eventually defeated both of them and then I met Horohoro and his sister, Pirika." Yoh pointed to a blue pointy haired boy and the blue haired girl beside him.
"He was an Ainu and wanted to preserve nature. We became friends quickly. Then a commissioner called Silva of the Patch showed up who taught me the technique for Oversoul and allowed me into the Shaman Fight." A black haired man looked at them and nodded.
"I won against Horohoro in the first round and then lost to a necromancer by the name of Faust the IIIV." A blond man nodded respectfully. "In the final battle, it was pretty much destined for me to face Ren. We tied and both went to the second round which was in America. That's when I visited the Granger Dojo for some training in sword fighting." Yoh looked towards Tyson who stared amazed.
"That's when things changed big time. We met Hao, my brother who was reincarnated for the second time for the Shaman Fights. Sorry to be blunt, Hao, but he was a pyromaniac. He used his Spirit Of Fire to kill countless people, both humans and Shamans. Shamans who just got in his way or didn't join him were usually killed. Humans were killed because his dream was to create a world only of Shamans." Yoh looked towards a guy who looked just like Yoh except with longer hair.
"We also met Lyserg and Chocolove who both had lost their parents. Lyserg's parents were killed by Hao while Chocolove's died from a robbery. We also met the X-Laws who were devoted to killing Hao." Lyserg was a green haired boy and Chocolove was the black boy with an afro.
"Hao and I fought each other and I won, but the Great Spirit left from anyone's grasp. In this half of the millennium, no Shaman King has been crowned. I eventually taught Hao to let go of his hatred of humans and he finally calmed down. The X-Laws disbanded as well since hardly anyone was left. That's pretty much it." Yoh said finishing his story. There was a dead silence. Kai began his story.
"My grandfather, being a shaman, taught me Oversoul and told me the legend about me and the rest of Bladebreakers. Boris's plan to capture the bit-beast was so that his army could control the world using shaman powers." Kai said quietly.
"The legend behind me and the Bladebreakers is that upon the Age of Humans, four shamans would rise with the four legendary spirits and stop a dark force who could control other beings by training in other worlds. My grandfather was sure that I was one of those Shamans. He never told Boris but I think he figured it out himself. My grandfather sent me out to find the other three. I was the only one who knew if I was near the other shaman. That's the real reason my grandfather let me go with you through the World Tournament. I know that you three are the other Shamans." Kai said looking at the rest of his team.
"The Demolition Boys are under my grandfather's orders and not Boris's. Since he's in jail, they are supposed to help me. They have been feeding me information about attacks like today. Apparently, Boris is trying to open something called the Gate of Darkness." Chocolove was about to open his mouth before the Shamans glared at him.
"The Demolition Boys have no idea what's it about but they know that Boris has been given the ability to control other beings. Apparently Russia is under his control and so is North and South America."
"Mom." Max whispered.
"Africa and Austrailia also fell as well as part or Europe and China. Under control, these countries now have shamanic power. Every dark emotion inside the person is increased heavily. It works as this; the people under control have their own will but all dark emotions are increased and must listen to the controller. Eventually, all good memoires are surpressed and they become just dark people. The only way to free them is to destroy Boris. Boris, however, can't move from the Abbey and is very weak. But if the Gate Of Darkness is opened, then it's all over." Kai finished. The group was silent.
"What do we need to do?" Ray asked his leader.
"First of all, we have to get the three other gems. The Ruby I use for the fight is one of them. There are three others in this world. When all four gems are taken, then we are transferred to different worlds for training. After we complete that, the second gem will be given to us and we then have one more test before coming back here." Kai said calmly.
"Where are the other gems located?" Max asked.
"One in America, another in China, and one in Japan." Kai said quietly.
"Our origins." Ray said quietly.
"We can take you to America." Yoh said speaking for the first time.
"It won't be very hard for China." Ren said coldly.
"Japan is cake." Lyserg said.
"We'll split into teams. A team for each gem and one for home base." Yoh said calmly.
"Then let's go." Tyson said grinning.
Russia
"They will start looking for the gems. You know what to do." Boris said instructing the group in front of him.
"Yes, sir."
