Okami: Crystal of the Beasts
Oh the great Okami Amaterasu had banished Yami to the underworld! Never shall the Lord of Darkness and his minions rise again! Nippon lives in peace again, thanks to the great Goddess of the Sun!
The real question is how long will peace stand until another major event happens, and Amaterasu will be needed once more? Although, it won't be demons causing the chaos that is yet to come.

"You sure it's all right to be here?"
"Of course! Would I ever get us into trouble?"
"Y-Yes…"
"Oh be quiet…" Two young delinquents had sneaked out of their houses in the middle of the night, and decided it would be fun exploring an old temple. This temple was located near the small town of Yakushima, a Temperate Rainforest area of Nippon, but it is rarely visited by strangers, since many hardly know about this region. In a legend, it tells that there is a strange artifact named 'Crystal of the Beasts.' No one knows about its true power, but Nippon is soon going to find out. Ahem, getting back to the two children…
"Here it is! I finally found it!" A young boy exclaimed, "Come quick! Come quick!"
"Gah! I'm coming!" Another yelled back, reaching his friend to find a large room, and in the middle, shimmered the most fascinating treasure the young boys had ever laid their little eyes on.
"Whoa… That looks so cool!" Before the older boy could reach out and grab the artifact, the younger one quickly yanked on his shirt.
"No, don't!" The young one hissed, "It might be cursed by the gods! We need to leave!"
"PFFFFT! What can possibly go wrong?" The older boy touched the crystal, but suddenly, its glow grew enormous, filling the large, temple room with blinding, violet light. The two boys screamed and tried to run, but their legs felt heavy and they tripped on the solid ground.
ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!!!
The thunderous boom echoed all across Nippon, startling villagers, and made everyone come out of their homes. The thunder grew faint, and was followed by flashing lights, that quickly sprinted across the land. Soon after, nobody had made a single sound. Nippon had all fallen unconscious as it was seen.
Then after a few minutes, all madness breaks loose in the peaceful Nippon.
