"Hello, my name is Whisper. For those of you who do not know about our existence, allow everyone's favorite butler, explain." Whisper said. "Most of you may not know it, but we are everywhere. All of the strange and bizarre events that happen to everyday people are the works of the Yo-kai. Is there one with you right...what are you doing here?" Whisper asked, sitting in a chair as Hope looked around.

"What? I'm just looking around. What is this place?" Hope asked.

"Its a narrators place. I'm narrating the five tales we plan to tell." Whisper said.

"Oh, a narrators place. Please let me stay." Hope begged.

"Fine, but don't take away focus from me. I'm the knowledgable star here." Whisper said.

"Yes sir." Hope said.

"Anyway, as I was saying. Many people are living under the influence of Yo-kai without even suspecting a thing. In our first story, our protagonist and his blue streaked friend encounter someone who is his polar opposite. What effect will this fateful meeting have on their lives?" Whisper said opening a book as it glowed.

The scene then changed to Springdale Elementary as Hope waited outside the school as Nate was walking out with Whisper looking a bit exhausted.

"Man. I'm gonna die." Nate groaned.

"Now what kind of talk is that, Nate? I wouldn't jinx it if I were you." Whisper said.

"Geez. I guess school was a killer today." Hope said as he walked along with him.

"I got a bad feeling about today's exam." Nate said. "Yo-kai have it easy. I wish I could goof off all day."

"You watch your mouth! Yo-kai society has its own Yo-kai specific Yo-kai stresses that can be absolutely ghastly." Whisper said. "You do not understand it one bit."

"Sounds like you wanna be one." Hope said.

As they approached a construction site, they saw the pipes on a truck began to come loose as a guy was on the other side of it. The same one from the prologue. Hope and Nate rushed towards him as they moved him out of the way just as the pipes fell.

"Whoa. That was way too close for comfort." Whisper said to them.

"Yeah. Hey, be more careful next time." Nate said as the three walked away. As soon as they were out of the way, the guy then snapped his fingers as a black smoke appeared. Out of it was a gray man with white hair holding a scythe. "Okure!"

Demon Okure

Shady Tribe

He flew ahead of them, invisible to both of them as he lifted his scythe and opened a manhole in their path as they paid no attention.

"Hey! I'm not gonna die yet. I got a long life ahead of me." Nate walking backwards before falling right through the manhole.

"Nate!" Hope shouted as he jumped down too before.

"Oh boy." Whisper said flying down as he saw the two both landed head first. "Are you okay?"

Whisper was surprised to see their spirits fly out of their bodies before him.

"Ow. I gotta be more careful." Nate said.

"Hmm…" Whisper said.

"Uh, you okay man?" Hope asked.

"There is something important to say and I am not sure how to phrase it. Nate, Hope...you both are dead." Whisper said pointing to their bodies.

"Oh yeah? What's the proof?" Hope asked.

"You both are floating and not touching the ground!" Whisper said.

Hope and Nate looked down before they screamed. "Ahh! What happened?"

"Its like I said. You two are as dead as doornails, pushing up daisies, up the river, dead." Whisper said.

A heavenly light then shined down on the two as they were beginning to be pulled up.

"I'm not dying yet!" Hope said as he willed his body up as it grabbed his spirit and he was pulled into his body. "I knew you still had some life!" he said going into his body.

"You abandoned me Hope!" Nate shouted before ascending all the way up.

"Wow. Talk about cold shoulder." Whisper said.

"So, what happens now?" Hope asked.

"Have you ever wondered what happens to a person after they die? Well, in reality, a lot of humans...become Yo-kai." Whisper said.

"Wow. I wonder what nate will become, maybe like you, a butler to somebody?" Hope said.

'Hard to say. Guess we'll just have to wait till he comes out the other side." Whisper said.

"Right." Hope said grabbing his watch. "Better find someone to give this to. Weird, it looks different from his previous model"

"Oh that's right. You have been gone for a while. That's the Yo-kai Watch U. It uses all medals, even the new Merican Medals." Whisper said.

"Cool. It caught up to ours and Sunsets." Hope said smiling. "Well, I'm gonna start my search tomorrow. At a local school."

Tale 1: Nate Becomes a Yo-kai!

The next day, at a local school, the students were receiving their test scores as one kid noticed he has a 72 percent.

"72 points." he said as the other kids looked at it.

"What happened? Hard to believe you didn't get a hundred, Yuuto." one boy said.

"Its fine. I'm fine." Yuuto said.

Behind him floated a blue creature with a familiar hairstyle and a star on his chest. "Its not his health...its cause of me!" he said in shock.

Yuuto then walked out the school and saw hope near the wall.

"Tough day, huh?" Hope asked.

"Yeah, I got an average score on my test. Normally, I get a perfect score." Yutto said.

Hope then held out the Yo-kai Watch U. "Wanna find out how that happened?"

"Maybe later." he said taking the watch as he walked off.

"Whoa. Tough kid." Hope said.

"You!" said a voice as the blue creature looked at him.

"What the?" Hope said shining his lens. "Nate? That you? Y-you look ridiculous!"

"Don't remind me. And I'm not Nate. I'm..fu fu fu Fu2!" Nate said dancing and posing.

"What a lame name. Guess the process didnt go so well." Hope said.

"Tell me about it." NAte/Fu2 said.

"So, did your effect cause that guy to score average?" Hope asked.

"Apparently, my inspiration of someone makes them incredibly average and normal." Nate/Fu2 said.

"I gotta get Yuuto to use the watch and see you." Hope said.

"Well, what if I got him to wear it?" Nate/Fu2 asked.

"How are you gonna do that?" Hope asked.

"Just follow me. I'm heading to his house." Nate/Fu2 said.

Later in the day, Hope secretly watched from the window as Yuuto looked at his test before folding it up and lying on his bed. He then saw Nate carrying the watch.

"Put it on, put it on!" he chanted holding the watch.

Yuuto looked at his desk to see the watch on his desk.

"Is that...a watch?" Yuuto asked.

"Put it on, put it on!"

He soon did so and put it on.

"Press the button!" Nate chanted as he pressed the button. "Now shine the light this way!"

Yuuto did so as appearing before him was Nate/Fu2 himself. Though to Hope's surprise, Yuuto was calm around him.

"Fu fu Fu2!" Fu2 said.

"Average?" Yuuto asked.

"No no. I'm the Yo-kai Fu2. I was human until a little bit ago. Then I became a Yo-kai and am now inspiriting you." Fu2 said.

"I see. That makes sense. There's a theory that Yo-kai are invisible and everywhere. I guess it was your fault." yuuto said plainly.

"Man, youre really blank." Hope said coming in.

"You were watching?" Yuuto said.

"Yeah. See, its not your fault." Hope said.

"Eh...its not like it matters." Yuuto said letting the test fall into the trash.

"Yuuto…" Fu2 said.

"Dang." Hope said as he was leaving out the window before peeking into the living room where he saw Yuuto's parents with a bag.

"Do you think he'll like it?" his mom asked.

"I hope so. I plan to give it to him after the exams are over." his father said as the two left the bag alone.

"Go check it out." Hope said to Fu2.

Fu2 looked into the bag to see something before going back to Hope.

"Its a manga drawing kit." Fu2 said.

"Hmm." Hope said pondering this.

The next day….

The two of them continued to follow Yuuto as he headed for school.

"Geez. Poor kid." Hope said.

"Nate!" shouted a voice as Whisper came whizzing right to them.

"Whisper?" Nate said.

"Wow. I must say Nate. You're Yo-kai modification looks remarkably amazing and well done." Whisper said.

"I'm not Nate! I'm fu fu Fu2!" Nate said dancing and posing again as Whisper posed too.

"Ah and you've gotten used to your personality too." Whisper said.

"My body did that on its own!" Nate said.

"Plus, Fu2 is such a wonderful name for a Yo-kai like yourself." Whisper said before seeing the star. "And what a fancy peephole you have too."

"Its not a peephole." Nate said.

"But it is." Whisper said. "In fact, I'm seeing something right now."

Nate stopped for a moment before looking through it and rushing to Yuuto who just stood at the school gates. "Yuuto! You gotta look through my hole and ...huh?"

"Maybe...I'll just go around town today." Yuuto said turning away from the school.

"I have to help him." Nate said.

"I dont think thats a good idea." Hope said before time stopped all around except for Hope, Nate and Whisper.

"This is an announcement from the Department of Yo-kai Registration. Interference with human affairs other than inspiriting will be met with a swift punishment." a voice said.

"See what I mean?" Hope said. "What would be the punishment?"

"For his case, we would turn him a ghostly white, turn his lips purple and put a black line in between his eyes." the voice said.

"So… Whisperize him, essentially." Hope said.

"No! Anything but that!" Nate said in worry.

"Well, that's just plain rude." Whisper said as time restarted.

"Hmm. That's it!" Nate said following Yuuto. "Hey, let me come with you for the day."

"Huh?" Yuuto said as Nate smiled as he did.

"Stop! I'll go with him, you dont wanna end up like Whisper." Hope said.

"You know I'm still here right?" Whisper said.

"Sorry." Hope said.

"Well, you better start running...cause they already left." Whisper said.

Hope turned and already saw them gone. "Man that kid moves fast!" Hope said as he started running.

At an amusement park, Hope silently watched them as they had the time of their lives entering a haunted house, playing games of chance and riding a rollercoaster before it ended with the two of the hanging by the river.

"Man. Today was a blast!" Nate said.

Yuuto smiled for a minute before it faded and he curled up.

"Yuuto? What's wrong?" Nate asked.

"Nothing. I told you. It doesn't matter. None of this matters." Yuuto said.

"Of course it all matters. Look, forget about studying. Don't you have any dreams?" Nate asked.

"There's nothing I want to do. I've given up." Yuuto said walking away.

"Yuuto!" Nate said before Okure appeared before him.

"Remove yourself from this boy!" Okure said.

"Who are you?" Nate asked.

"I am the bringer of death, Demon Okure. I'm here to escort Yuuto Arima to the afterlife." Okure said.

"What? Why?" Nate asked.

"He said so himself, didn't he? He has no aspirations for this life." Okure said flying off after the boy.

"Wait!" Nate said chasing after him as Hope was spying on them. He saw Okure near a truck with concrete pipes on it as his scythe slowly cut the cords on it.

"Bastard!" Hope said tackling him.

"What was...wait, didn't I already ice you earlier this week?" he asked.

"That was you?" Hope said as Okure saw Yuuto walk by.

"Yeah. And I gotta do my job." he said flying to a manhole and prying it open.

"No!" Nate said quickly putting it back before seeing Okure open another one a little further up.

"Keep him busy, Nate!" Hope said.

"Easy for you to say!" Nate said sealing the new one as Okure opened another manhole. "How many manholes does this street have?"

One by one, Nate sealed each manhole as Okure got tired as Yuuto walked back.

"Grrr. Time to get serious." Okure said as he fired blue flames at a tall shop sign, destroying it, making it begin to topple so it would fall on Yuuto.

"Yuuto!" Hope said getting him outta the way and pulling him towards a construction site as Okure was sending slashed.

"Okure, Okure, souls go to the afterlife!" he shouted as he attacked.

"Only one way to go, up. The elevator!" Nate said.

The three ran into the elevator and ran across the roof, nearly falling off the edge before Okure appeared.

"W-who are you?" Yuuto asked in fear.

"Souls go to the afterlife. Human souls with no purpose in life have no place in this realm." Okure said.

"Youre wrong, I know Yuuto has a purpose in his life." Hope said.

"No i dont! All my parents want from me is to succeed on my exams." Yuuto said. "I have nothing."

"See? He just admitted it!" Okure said.

"What about being a manga author?" Nate said shocking Yuuto. "I saw it in your room. A book on how to draw manga."

"I'm never...going to become a manga author." Yuuto said. "It doesn't matter what I want! Mom and dad would never approve!"

The star on nates chest glowed.

"Nate, the star impression in your chest…" Hope said.

"I know this! Yuuto. Look through my star! It will show you the daily life of the person you are thinking of." Nate said. "Their normal everyday life!"

Yuuto was nervous before looking through the hole. It showed his parents in the living room where his parents has a gift on the table, it was a bag with a manga drawing kit inside.

"Do you think he'll like this manga drawing kit?" his father asked.

"Hmmhmm. I know he will. Although, i do remember him saying he wanted to play soccer. And I saw a ball in his room." his mom said.

"Is that so? Well, when exams are over, we'll ask him what he wants to do. But whatever he does...we'll support him." his father said.

"Of course. As long as it makes him happy." his mom said.

The vision then ended after that with Yuuto in tears after seeing this.

"DOnt you see? Your parents do care about what your life means. They support you." Nate said. "So, do you have a dream?"

Yuuto cried and smiled at Nate as Hope smiled back. Okure just looked at this and shrugged.

"Eh...I give up. No use in getting rid of someone with purpose." Okure said before vanishing.

Hope was happy for Yuuto as was Nate, both of them unaware they were being watched by the same guy from earlier.

It was later in the evening when Yuuto was returning home when time stopped around Nate and Hope.

"This again?" Hope asked.

"Yo-kai Fu2! Your interference with human affairs has passed the restricted level. You are no longer qualified to be a Yo-kai." a voice said.

"Time to go, then." Hope said running back to the sewer where nate was.

"Because of this, your freinds punishment is to be a completely average and unattractive human person with a totally unremarkable life." the voice said.

Hope jumped down into the sewers just as Nate awoke.

"Which also means getting your body back." Hope said.

"I was so worried, nate!" Whisper said.

"I'm back to normal!" Nate said.

"Oi! You two!" said a voice as the saw the guy they saved looking down from above. "Take these." he said dropping two medals down to them. They were purple framed with a strange symbol and a shadowed person with chains on the image.

"What are these?" Nate asked.

"Dunno. But we have to find out." Hope said. "But...why do I feel like were forgetting someone?"
