All of them were riding the ship towards Hanging Neck Island.
Yusuke was standing on deck looking ahead at the island. Memories flashed through his mind as they near it.
"Thought we'd never go back here you know," Kuwabara said waking Yusuke out of his thoughts. "But at least this time the crowd is bound to be cheering on us."
Yusuke smirked. "Don't get to confident about that Kuwabara. We're up against the biggest threat of all time. Demons are bound to cheer for that."
Kuwabara's face turned to disappointment. He really does love the lime light.
"Well at least there are no preliminaries on this ship," Genkai said. And this time around she's no longer wearing a mask because somebody else has too.
Kaira stepped out into deck. She spotted the others and walked towards them.
"Hey guys! Looks like we're nearing the island." Kaira said.
"We're your brother?" Kurama asked.
Kaira smiled. "Well since he is our new mask fighter, he's putting on his mask right now."
Kuwabara and Yusuke were about to retort something when Kaira cut them off.
"He's wearing it because he did hide he's identity back when we were Spirit Detectives and we are not announcing to the whole entire world that the Dragon Slayer is Koenma. Got it?!" Kaira said, in a bossy tone.
"Not to spoil your plan Kaira but don't you think that everyone already knows that the Dragon Slayer is on our team. We are the team the represent Spirit World." Yusuke said.
"Yes I know. That is why you have to call him by "Jericho" and not by Koenma."
"Jericho? What the heck kinda name is that?" Kuwabara asked.
"It is the Philippine name of Koenma ok. And whoever calls him Koenma on that island will surely get it," Kaira said making a fist and shoving it right in front of Kuwabara.

Everyone was settled in their hotel room.
"Did you guys notice that there aren't any rich humans in the lobby anymore?" Kuwabara asked.
"You mean the team owners?" Yusuke asked.
"Yeah! Before As I can remember this hotel was filled with rich people who fund this tournament." Kuwabara said.
"Maybe because, Toguro killed all the board members well human that is of the tournament," Kaira said.
This time around each room had 7 bedrooms, one for each team member as they had put it. Botan, Yukina, Shizuru and Kekiko had their own separate room but Kaira decided to stay in their room instead.
"Why would Toguro do something like that?" Kurama asked.
"On Sakyo's orders." Kaira said. She knew of the slaughter because of the souls that passed by Spirit World.
Before anyone could speak again the announcer said something through the intercom. "Would all teams please proceed to the ring area. Thank You."
"Looks like Koto is still the announcer this time." Kuwabara said as Team Urameshi set out for the ring.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Urameshi you may be a half-breed but you're no match for king Fuzen" a demon from the crowd shouted.
"Told you Kuwabara," Yusuke whispered to Kuwabara who was right beside him.
They were the first team to arrive and they were standing on a portion of the ring.
"Looks like he's made himself comfortable," Koenma whispered to Kaira and motioned to the throne like sit next to were the announcer usually is.
Fuzen was sitting on the throne as Koenma puts it. He was smirking at team Urameshi.
Suddenly a gust of wind came out of nowhere and greeted them on the ring.
"What the--″ Yusuke said.
"Looks like the gangs all here," Chu said appearing opposite Team Urameshi. He was with Rinku, Jin, Toya, Shishiwakamaru, Suzuka and a demon girl who as Yusuke recalls as Natsume.
"Wow Chu you even got Natsume to team with you guys" Yusuke joked.
"I'm not playing because of him, Jin begged me to team with them," Natsume said. She was the demon who was supposed to fight Chu but Chu surrendered because he had a crush on her.
"So we're the other team" Yusuke said.
Fuzen then stood up.
"I'm afraid Detective, that there are only four teams competing on this Tournament," Fuzen said.
"4? Only 4?! You've got to be kidding me," Kuwabara said.
"Why is that," Toya said.
"Because every one is afraid of him that's why." Koenma said. Well he was still wearing a mask so only Yusuke and his team no who he is.
Fuzen smiled. "You flatter me Slayer. But I believe your answer is correct."
At the mention of the word Slayer the demons in the crowd began to whisper.
"Did he just say 'Slayer'? That means the one in the mask is the Dragon Slayer." A demon said to one beside him.
"The Dragon Slayer? That can't be."
"He's supposed to have disappeared."
Fuzen cleared his throat and all became silent.
"My team and the team that is lead by my acquaintance do not want to come out yet so do accept my apology." Fuzen continued. "Since there are only four teams, the first round will begin tomorrow and today we will choose who will fight against whom."
He motioned for the screen. Letters were rambling on it and it finally came to a stop.
Team Urameshi VS Team Z
"And that leaves my team versus Team Chu," Fuzen said. "Those matches will be tomorrow and it will start with Team Urameshi versus Team Z."
After that Fuzen disappeared. Koenma also disappeared.
"Where the heck is he going," Yusuke said.
"Hn. We might as well go since we don't have anything to do here," Hiei said and he too disappeared.
"He's right. We have no more business here might as well go back to the hotel," Kurama said.
Team Urameshi then went back to their hotel room to figure out what there strategy will be.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Fuzen had his back on the wall of the hallway. The stadium that they were using was the one used for the semifinals. It was rebuilt again for the tournament.
Koenma stepped out from the shadows.
"I'm surprised that you would still hide your face," Fuzen said.
"Who's the acquaintance?" Koenma said.
"Now that's rude Koenma. Not even a greeting," Fuzen said facing the prince.
"Who is it?" Koenma repeated with a hint of anger in it.
Fuzen smiled and walked towards him when they were side to side. Fuzen said, "You already know."
Koenma, out of anger, tried to punch him but missed.
Fuzen was already a few feet away and walking towards the end of the hallway.
He turned back, "Save for the fight Koenma not unless you forfeit to your friends."
"What did you do to them?" Koenma said.
"Hmmmm you'll realize tomorrow," Fuzen disappeared after that.
Angered Koenma punched the wall next to him. He already loss his mother, he would not allow his god parents and his two best friends befall Fuzen's hands.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Anyways, next up the first fight begins. Who will be the first fight?
