YuYu Hakusho Beyond!

Episode 22 : Incarceration

After discovering one of the Gifts to Deity, everyone returned to their almost-normal lives. After studying out the situation, Koenma had an assignment solely for one of the spirit detectives, while the other one asked Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Kurama more about the previous case. It seems as though their last foe was not acting off of her own intuition. The questions have been renewed, what was the true motive behind Foliage Fortress?

~*~

[Yusuke flies over trees.]

Yusuke Voiceover: Stupid Kuwabara.  Finding my wedding ring is going to be like finding a needle in a stupid  haystack! But it's better than being blackmailed.

[Yusuke spots  Foliage Fortress and notices activity in the area. He descends into the  forest. Landing in snow, he peers around a tree to see what is  happening. Spirit World soldiers patrol around the fortress.]

Yusuke Voiceover: Well, well. It looks like we've got the goon squad cleaning things up still.

[A gun touches the back of Yusuke's head.]

Soldier 1: This area is off limits. Go home, boy.

[Yusuke raises his hands.]

Yusuke:  Sorry. I lost something a while back and came to look for it. You guys  wouldn't have a gold ring in your lost and found here, would you?

[The soldier lowers the gun and raises his opposite hand, palm glowing.]

Soldier 1: So you've been here before. Then how about you stay here...forever!

[As  the Soldier releases his energy blast, Yusuke crouches, turns, and  upper cuts the soldier's arm, sending the blast just over Yusuke's head.  A branch falls on the soldier's head, knocking him out.]

Yusuke Voiceover: After all the times I've saved the world, they're still trying to off me?

[Yusuke's  head turns at the sound of other soldiers approaching. He flies up into  the canopy. Other soldiers arrive at the scene.]

Soldier 2: What happened here?

Soldier 3: I'd say an ambush, but there are no other footprints.

Soldier 2: Someone better tell the chief.

Soldier 3: Why bother? This guy probably wanted an excuse to slack off.

[Balancing on a tree branch, Yusuke peers down.]

Yusuke Voiceover: Stupid tools as always. Now how do I get in?

[Ayame is leading Kurama down a dimly-lit hallway in Spirit World. They stop in front of a human-sized, iron door.]

Ayame: Koenma appreciates you coming. He is waiting inside

[The  door opens. Kurama enters a small, black room. One light hangs over a  table; and Koenma sits on the far side. Kurama sits in the chair  opposite him.]

Kurama: A Room of Concealment?

Koenma: I have been too open in my past actions.

Kurama:  I wonder where your actions will lead. A case's after-effects, such as  the orb's function, is not the sort of information you usually tell  detectives. You let Kaisei know that fact on purpose to rouse our  interest, but you did not say why you wanted to see us.

Koenma: To avoid eavesdroppers. However, this room is safe from detection or recordation.

Kurama:  Then I have questions I want answered first. Spirit World knows about  the cloning, don't they? Who made them? What was their true objective?
