Jenny walked slowly. She sighed. A dark Whisper trailed behind her. He was just like Whisper, but was a grayish black, and held an evil smirk on his face instead of the friendly, cheerful look.
"Oh man, The Shadow will be SO MAD. He knows everything," he said. Jenny nodded with a sigh.
"I am in SO much trouble."
They walked through Breezy Hills to he border where the town of Springdale ended. There was nothing on that path for miles, which was just the reason that was the perfect place to have a secret lair. She brushed trees out of her way as she headed a different direction, onto an indirect path. There, towering in front of her, was a huge building. It was impossible to be broken into, an idea that itself was near impossible. She pushed on a stone brick, which blended in with the rest of the stones. A small keypad appeared in the area in which the stone disappeared. She typed in a four-digit code:1839. The rest of the stones moved apart, revealing huge iron doors. There were no handles on these doors. Jenny pushed these doors aside with her hands. She walked into the lobby of this building(even villains' lairs have lobbies lol). She walked up to a lady at the front desk.
"I have a meeting with the Shadow," Jenny said. The lady held out a strange device.
"Watch identification," she said. Jenny held her watch up to the device. It made a dinging sound. "You may pass." Jenny walked into an elevator, which was extremely small, just large enough for one person and a Whisper to fit in. They finally arrived at their destination. Jenny walked down the hall to room 507. She opened the door. The room was empty and dimly lit.
"Status report," a voice said. The Shadow. He was hard to see in the dim light, but Jenny knew he was there. She breathed in.
"I've obtained 10 new Yo-kai and have my watch to Rank A," Jenny said. She was sweating. The Shadow knew everything, and could sense fear and negative emotions. He knew every time a Yo-kai was defeated. Every time someone was inspirited. When someone stopped the inspiriting Yo-kai.
"Very good. You uninspirited a person, am I right?"
Jenny sighed. "Yes..."
"THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE AGAINST!" Shadow's voice boomed so loud that Jenny was worried everyone would hear.
"Yes, I know. And I'm extremely sorry. I just—well, I've found a new watch holder," Jenny said, flinching a bit as she finished, worried that the Shadow would strike. But he remained calm.
"Yes. I am not angry at you for that. But you have a new assignment. Destroy them, and any others you find." Jenny's eyes widened.
"Y-yes, Shadow," she said nervously before bolting from the room before he could sense her unwillingness to do that. But he would destroy her if she ever failed him. Most likely use his powers to turn her into a Yo-kai. And then she would have even bigger problems.
Nate and Katie walked towards Mount Wildwood. Nate had to fight the urge to reach out and grab Katie's hand. Nate was excited they got to be alone in a peaceful place. But a small part of him was worried that Katie would find the crank—the mysterious crank in the forest which changed his life. He didn't want her to have to worry about that. Besides, he didn't even remember how he got here before. Katie grabbed his hand, causing him to blush, and pulled him over to the stairs on the right side of the shrine(layout is based on the game). There was nothing but a path of trees, so suspiciously narrow that it seemed to be a dead end.
"Come on, let's explore!" She said. They ran down the stairs. It was then that Nate sensed something almost familiar about this place.
"Katie, no! Turn back! You can't go this way!" He protested.
"Why not?"
"Uh...umm...because uh—" he tried to think of an excuse.
"Well I'm going, whether you are or not." Nate sighed. This girl was impossible to convince. Katie came upon a strange crank, old and worn down.
"Hmm...I wonder what's in here. Probably something really old," Katie pondered.
"Yeah, exactly why you shouldn't use it!" Nate said. But it was too late. Katie had already put the coin in. There was lots of clanging and banging inside, but finally, a round stone ball popped out. One side was darker than the other. Katie pulled and twisted with all her might. "It's hard. I know." Katie stared at him like he was an alien. Then, it finally popped open. A blue light swirled around, coming from the little ball.
"I am Whisper! I'm a Yo-kai!" A white ghost-like creature popped out and said. Katie gasped in shock.
"Oh my gosh, I must be dreaming," she said, the entire world spinning around her.
After a long explaination about what Yo-Kai were and Katie recieving her Yo-Kai watch, Nate finally spoke up.
"But how can there be TWO Whispers?" He asked.
"Well, there are many of us, all trapped inside that horrible machine. We make up The Great Cloud. But there are some Whispers that are evil. They turn against us and are set on ruling the world and turning it into a world of darkness where only they(and the other Yo-Kai) can survive. They are called Shadow Whispers and make up what is known as The Shadow. A person who receives a Shadow Whisper from the crank(the chance is 1 in 10000) will be turned against us, trained and tricked to work for The Shadow. But of course YOU wouldn't be aware of that, Nate. What a poor boy. He ended up getting the dumbest Whisper of them all! I truly pity you, Nate," Katie's new Whisper said. Nate nodded without hesitation. Whisper glared at Nate and then at Katie's Whisper.
"It's you. The smartest Whisper of all," Nate's Whisper said bitterly.
"Ah, yes. It is me. And so everything is much easier, we should call each other different names."
"Yes, I suppose I have to admit that you are right. I shall be now known as: Butler Whisper!" Said Nate's Whisper. Everyone sweat dropped at the horrible and unimaginative name.
"And I shall be Sarah. I am a female Whisper, after all," Katie's Whisper said. Katie then, a figure dropped down from the trees. It was Jenny.
"So, I have yet another watch holder to take care of, eh? Easy! Alhail, Frostina, Komane, help me out here!"
