We open to the Star Speeder as it began to land on the world Hope was on. "Okay. We're landing in Hoshido. Once we do, spread out. Check outside the kingdom if you have to. We aren't leaving until we find Hope and bring him home." Jexi said.

"Deadeye… he was hired by Shade Man all along. And we never even suspected it." Volt said.

"It's not anyone's fault. He had us all fooled. But what's done is done. We have to find him. Hope has to come home." Jexi said.

"But Hoshido's a big empire, and from the texts, they are in a war with their Rival Nohr." Thorn said.

"You and Emily came along?" Usopp said.

"Yes. Hope was kind enough to take us with him on our previous adventure. We must return the favor by saving him." Emily said.

They got off in Hoshido as they saw multiple guards and a red Haired girl on a pegasus point their spear at them.

"Hey, easy with the-" Sanji started.

"Silence, Nohrian spies." She said. "My name is Hinoka, eldest daughter of the Hoshido royal family. On my honor as a Sky Knight, I cannot allow you to continue spying on us, Nohrians."

"We aren't from Nohr. We're from someplace far away." Emily said.

"I dont believe you for one minute, prepare to-"

"Whoa whoa whoa, stop, stop! Lower your weapons!" Said a familiar voice to thorns Ears as three white creatures and a strange rat hybrid came up.

"Fone Bone? What are you doing here? I thought you went back to Boneville." THorn said.

"We hitched a ride from these weirdos earlier. A little strange, but they have this amazing motto. We are….Team Crusader. That's what they would say." Fone Bone said.

"Is this thing… your old boyfriend, thorn?" Sanji asked looking at him. "This is seriously what you were into?"

"Trust me. I could do better." Thorn said.

"Silence! These Nohr Spies must be brought to justice!" Hinoka said.

"Wow. A lot of hostility here." Sunset said as a guard looked at her watch.

"My princess. This girl, she bares the watch of the great spirits." A guard said.

"Yes. I see. If she does, then she must be the one prophesied to lead Hoshido to victory."

"What?" Sunset said.

"They think the Yo-kai Watch is some great artifact and that you are their chosen one." Sugarcoat said.

A little while later, the others were brought to meet the other Bone cousins and their… pet along with the other Hoshidan siblings.

"Don't think we've been introduced properly. Name's Fone Bone, and this are my cousins Phoncible P. Bone, though everyone calls him Phoney, and Smiley Bone. And yes, I admired Thorn for… most of the time I was in the Valley." Fone Bone said.

"So ya dumped her like a can of sardines? You disgust me." Sanji said kicking the bone cousin into a wall.

"Hey, he didn't dump him. He wanted to come back with us, and Thorn understood." Phoney said. "Don't make those kinds of assumptions of my cousin."

"And this thing? What is it?" Sci-Twi said having a notepad out near the rat creature.

"That there's Bartleby, my pet." Smiley Bone said. "We sorta kept him with us."

"Hiya." Bartleby said suddenly.

"He can talk?" Fluttershy and Sci-Twi both said.

"Yeah. But not by a lot." Smiley said.

"Oh, aren't you just the cutest little thing full grown. Like the mice back at the shelter." Fluttershy said.

"Now then Hinoka, you should apologize to our guests friends." A boy with silver hair and a bow said.

"Takumi, stop rubbing that in. I know I get carried away with my duties, but its only because our Big Brother was captured at a young age." Hinoka said.

"Uh, mind introducing us, red?" Fone Bone said.

"Yes, I would like to present, the legendary watch wearer and her followers." Hinoka said pointing to Sunset as Takumi looked her over.

"Hmm. She certainly does have the watch. But I have no clue if it's the genuine article. We must bring her before our other brother and sister in the throne room." Takumi said.

The heroes were taken before a man in full body armor with a sheathed katana, and a shy girl with red hair. On close inspection, all of them had Samurai like gear.

"Welcome. I am Ryoma, the crown prince of Hoshido and a Swordmaster. And this is Sakura, the youngest daughter and a shrine maiden." Ryoma said.

"Oh, I never introduced myself. My names Takumi, second son and an archer." Takumi said.

"Nice weapons you got. They look so cool." Ruby said looking at the bow and katana with stars in her eyes.

"You'll have to excuse her, she's a bit of a weapon nerd." Yang said.

"It's quite all right. Now, I understand we have the watch user in our midst. Let us see proof it really is her." Ryoma said.

"Proof? Not a problem." Sunset grinned. "Come on out my friend! Calling Jibanyan! Yo-kai Medal, do your thing!"

"Summoning...Charming!"

Alarming!

Boom boom

Walla walla

Dance dance

Charming!

"Jibanyan!" Jibanyan said appearing before the Royal Family. "Hey, why did you call me like that? I was about to the beat the truck!" Jibanyan shouted at the team.

"Amazing, an actual Yo-kai." Sakura said as Jibanyan looked at her with hearts in his eyes.

"Yes. But I'm no ordinary Yo-kai. I actually come from a long line of cat samurais." He said approaching Sakura and rubbing up against her.

Jexi then came up. "Were looking for a friend of ours. Brown hair, wears a blue outfit, has a ring…"

"I'm afraid no one by that description has come by our kingdom. I apologize. But it matters very little to us. Now that we have the watch user, we are sure to be victorious over Nohr." Ryoma said.

"Wait, could you explain some things? Because I don't exactly follow this rivalry." Emily said.

"Of course. If you are to fight alongside us, it is fitting to explain why we are at war." Takumi said. "The reason for Nohr wanting to invade is simple, they want our bountiful lands. They are in a time of famine, and their lands are done in to poor weather conditions and lack of sunlight, which gives it the title the kingdom of darkness."

"Just recently, as a Nohrian child was born, King Garon sent an envoy of our rightful child, Corrin, to meet Queen Sumeragi for a peace summit." Hinoka said. "We saw our big brother again, but it was a trap. The sword offering was rigged to blow, our queen is now gone and we have no way to protect our kingdom. But, you're arrival brings us hope to defend against the Nohrians."

Speaking of Hope, he sits at a table with the family seeing Corrins inherited blade.

"An assassination on Queen Sumeragi? And you were the intended target?" Hope asked Corrin.

"Yes. My mother, my birth mother is gone." Corrin said.

"But this is also a time of rejoice. With the queen gone, nothing can stop our conquest of Hoshido. Our people will be able to eat in peace without worry of starvation." Xander said.

"The Nohrian's plunder without proper Guidance or mercy." Ryoma said.

"The Hoshidans are nothing by sword wielding savages." Leo said.

"We have to take Corrin back, so he can help us defend Hoshido." Sakura said.

"Yeah! I'm with that all the way!" Jibanyan said.

"Big Brother is staying here so he can lead us to the conquest of Hoshido." Elise said.

"Nohr will survive…" Xander said.

"Hoshido will endure…" Ryoma said.

"...and we shall stand against our enemies!" They both said as the same time.

Jexi looked down for a moment before looking up seriously. "Hope will have to wait, these people need us more than Hope does."

Hope stared at the family, then at his hands. "I need to stay. I can't let the people here die. I must fight….for Nohr."

"This place is at the mercy of Garon's might. We'll fight...until our very last breath!" Jexi shouted as the rest of the team cheered.

Corrin stood at the crossroads before him. "My forgotten family In Hoshido. My current family is Nohr. Both are on the brink of destruction. But...which one….do I defend?" He thought to himself.
