It's been 2 months after Yoh and his gang has defeated Hao, Yoh has settled in peacefully back into his old life. Anna had given up on her hope of becoming Shaman Queen as the oracle bell didn't ring ever since the lightening death of Hao. HoroHoro has gone to save the minousians and has made some lily-pads for them with Pillica which made Kororo extremely happy. Lyserg has been studying to get into a top notch secondary school in London to please his ghostly parents and to get the best education as possible. Ryu has been living fine "on the road" and has got together with his old gang and teaching them the ways of being a shaman and his fighting techniques, he's been having great success as a teacher but not as much success with the ladies. Ren is carrying on his training to please his family to get ready for the apparently up-coming shaman tournament but the Shaman council still hasn't got everything ready. Faust is having the time of his life with Eliza by his side and he is going on wonderful adventures.Chocolove was being the entertainer for a pub in America where he was actually getting successful as the pub was quite dull. And Manta, well he and Lyserg are very similar since Manta is trying to survive exams to get into a top notch high school. With this team, nothing is impossible.

Whilst all the joy was spreading across the shamans, one shaman was not enjoying himself much. Lurking in the shadows hid a very powerful shaman… Hao Asakura.

"Oi! Wake up… hey mister, wake up!" Said a soft voice in the darkness.

"Is he still breathing?" Said another

"Let me check," The girls hand reaches over the young boy's mouth, "Yes he is still alive, you know what to do right?" the girl forms with her ghost and she develops powers beyond any normal shaman would ever dream of imagining. She then placed her hand gently to the boy's heart and gave a warm, greenish yellowy glow and healed the boy.

"… urgh…what… what happened?"

"Wait! Oh my gosh! I know you!" said the spirit in extreme shock.

"Who is it Hoshi?"

"Rena, this boy… it's… it's Hao Asakura! We have awaken him!"

Hao got up, widely awake and got out of the darkness and got up. He stretched his legs and arms, he was so stiff after two months of isolation, "heh heh, so I was asleep all this time eh? And how did you know who I was?" Hao turned to Hoshi.

"How could I not recognize you?" Hoshi said in a seRyuus voice and expression on her face.

"True, true. I must thank you both for recovering me to my full strength, how about joining my team? Or I could reason with you" Hao said in his normal evil tone.

Rena couldn't stand for this, she didn't know much since she was a fresh shaman but she did know one thing. Hao was extremely powerful and could destroy her and Hoshi. "Listen, what do you want?"

"Heh heh, well I can see that you have great powers hidden deep within you and I need some assistant from a mighty shaman but the strange thing is that you seem like a… well I don't know… fresh shaman. You haven't really controlled your powers too well but you are powerful." Hao said.

"what about it?" Said Rena with sharp reactions

" Like I said, how would you like joining my team?"

"And what if she refuses!" Hoshi said springing into the conversation.

"Then I will destroy your home village, your family, friends and both of you."

With deep shock Hoshi and Rena were stuck in a massive dilemma. They had never been put in this sort of situation before. Choose between evil or give up there lives and the people they love just for pride and dignity?

With great thought they knew that it was possible for Hao to do so and Rena was still fresh so she was unable to even try and stop Hao so, "Okay I will join you, for now."…
