Dragon Ball S

Episode 28: Into the Demon World

After the commotion caused by Yusuke, a Demon with long white hair and tribal markings on his face steps onto a big platform. The crowd's attention diverts towards him.

"All hail Lord Raizen!"

"Who's this guy supposed to be? Hiei, Kurama, do you know him?"

"Most of my memories from the past as Yoko have returned but I don't seem to remember who he is, but I know who that demon is."

Kurama points to the tall horned demon standing behind Raizen. His eyes are closed and do not open.

"His name is Yomi and he's one the demon lords of the Makai. Yoko had some kind of battle with him that left him blind. That's all I know."

Hiei stares at the one with a bandaged face.

"The other with his head wrapped is Mukuro. One of his grunts was the one that gave me the Jigan eye. Both of them are in a very high class. Rarely do the demon lords journey out of the demon realm."

"That's correct Hiei and I know the reason why."

"Hey Koenma, what the hell are you doing here?"

"Well I'm not here to be a spectator. I'm here to make sure that you five can defeat those demons. Yomi, Mukuro, and Raizen are all in the highest class of demon. All of Spirit World is in a panic because they managed to get past the Kikai barrier and that they formed an alliance. Those three have always been bitter enemies."

"The Kikai barrier? The one that keeps out the A and S class demons."

"That's right Kurama, and those three managed to get through."

"And what class are they in?"

"Well…."

"Come on! Spill it pacifier breath!"

"They are all in the S class and you may not be strong enough to defeat them."

"Cool! I thought this tournament would be a walk in the park, but now I know that there's actually a challenge it won't be so boring. If I can beat Toguro, Blizera, Shorando, and those two jakked up saiyans, I should have no problem with that."

"Actually Yusuke, Toguro was a lower B class and those three are a hundred times more powerful than he was."

"You're kidding me right? That's impossible!"

"Oh it is quite possible Yusuke. Any of them have the power to completely obliterate this world. Your job as spirit detective is to make sure that they are dead or sent back to the Makai."

Hiei walks up to Koenma and glares in his face.

"Koenma, if your going to lable us with a letter I would like to know at what level Kurama and I are at."

"Both of you are at the A class at full power. You may actually stand a chance against them."

"This is total crap."

Raizen, Yomi and Mukuro stand on a big platform in the center of the ring.

"This year and from now on the Dark Tournament will not be run by corrupt human fools, but by the demons who's blood has flown through for this glorious tournament. Therefore, we shall have this tournament in the demon realm!"

"Demon world! What the hell!"

"Yusuke, if my father manages to get that gate closed back, you may not be able to return. You'll be trapped in the Makai. The Kikai barrier will repel you, Kurama and Hiei."

"I have to get Keiko back. I don't have a choice."

Yusuke notices Raizen smirk at him and chills run down his spine.

"What the hell is this feeling I'm getting?"

"What's wrong Yusuke?"

"It's Raizen. I'm getting this weird feeling from him, like we're the same or something."

Raizen talks to Yusuke through telepathy.

"Yusuke Urameshi, I will show you who you truly are. I will show you your ultimate power!"

"What, what the hell?"

"Oh get over it Urameshi! You'll just kick his ass just like you did Toguro!"

"Yeah whatever Kuwabara."

"So now, we will journey into the land of demons, the Makai!"

A black portal opens behind them as everyone in the stadium is sucked into it. They start flying through a video game like tunnel.

"Help me mommy!"

"Shut up Kuwabara! Hey Kurama, do you know what's going on?"

"We are in the tunnel between realms. We'll reach the end very soon."

A bright light appears in front on them and then they suddenly find themselves in the middle of a huge stadium. The huge crowd of demons begin to cheer as the rest of the fighters appear.

"Damn, looks like we got fans."

The crowd starts shouting profanity at Yusuke and the others.

"You dirty bastards! You should all die!"

Yusuke points his finger at the demons in the crowd.

Hiei pushes him back.

"Do you want to be swarmed by the entire crowd and put Yukina and Keiko at risk."

"Dammit."

"I present to you our warriors whose blood will be shed for your enjoyment! The first matches will start tomorrow."

Everyone leaves the stadium.

"Hey where's Kurama?"

Kurama walks out of the demon city and into a forest. A woman with long dark hair and wearing a black gothic dress sits in a tree watching Kurama. She pets a large crow in her hand and has two smaller crows on her shoulders.

"So this is Kurama. I see why you like him so much. I can't wait to play with him."

Kurama looks around the forest with a nostalgic view.

"It's amazing that there are cities like this in the demon realm. It reminds me of home. This forest also brings back memories."

What lies beneath the tournament now that they have ventured into the Makai? Also, who is this mysterious woman?
