Sorry if this took a long time! I've been caught up in updating my other story. I'm going to try to make my chapters longer from this point, as in more than 2000 or 3000 words. This chapter is going to focus on Nate, as I have spent most of the time on Jenny and Lucas, and although the same goes for Katie, barely any on Nate.
Nate wanted to go to the Yo-kai world to explore. Not just that, but also to meet more Yo-kai friends. He would've invited Katie, except her family was gone on vacation. He hopped on his new bike that his dad had given him and headed towards Mt. Wildwood. He went into the narrow path leading there and sighed. He hoped he would have a peaceful summer, without Yo-kai causing too much mischief, especially inspiriting everyone. He got off his bike whenever he reached the steps leading to the shrine. He touched the tall stone sticking up from the ground with his hand, and the trees glowed blue and the doors were now there. They opened and as usual, Insomni was waiting there for him.
"Ya comin' in or what?" she snapped. He nodded quickly, not knowing Insomni could get so irritated and impatient. As they went down, Nate couldn't help but notice that rather than her normal playful smile, she wore a scowl on her face. "Now don't you be surprised when we arrive, ya hear? Don't say I didn't warn you." Nate spent the last few seconds wondering what she could've meant. But as they arrived, the only thing he could do was gasp in horror.
Mr. Stone was watching television when a news report came on.
"We still have no information about the missing children," a newsman said. A picture flashed on the screen showing the children who were missing.
"Sarah(I just made up a random name for her), come here," he said. Mrs. Stone walked up and looked at the TV. She gasped in horror when she saw a picture of the children who had visited them just the other day.
"That key! It leads somewhere! Somewhere that's probably dangerous," Mrs. Stone said worriedly.
Mr. Stone was also a bit worried, as the two missing children were the ones who had come the other day, and had taken the key, so probably went to explore that place. He scowled.
"We can't keep this a secret, but if we tell anyone, they may think we're the ones at fault, which we technically are, but they may have the police arrest us because they misunderstood our explaination," he said.
"Yes, but we can't just sit here and do nothing when there are children missing and we know the details of the incident," Mrs. Stone replied.
Jenny had once again disappeared, but this time, Nate was actually worried. Now, since Jenny and Lucas were together about 24/7, if Jenny was gone, Lucas would also be missing. But this time, it was different. It was all over the news, about the only thing ever on. Now Nate was getting worried. Jenny disappeared all the time, but now it must've been more serious, as people and the media were actually recognizing that fact, meaning that it must actually be serious. Nate had been thinking it was probably the fault of Yo-kai.
There Nate stood, at the entrance of the Yo-kai World, frozen with shock. Everything in the Yo-kai World, even the Yo-kai, had been frozen. But not normally, like a Yo-kai would use ice to freeze them. No, they were not even made of ice. They seemed to be made of a blackish glass. But no, they couldn't have been frozen. More like transformed. It was far too hot for anything to freeze. In fact, it was hotter than it usually was on Earth. But it felt empty and alone as if it were some abandoned mansion. But at the same time, Nate felt like someone, or rather something was watching him. He turned around, but as he knew, no one was there. But then he realized it. No one was there. Insomni, who had been hovering there just a second ago, was now gone. She had vanished. But Nate wondered why, when all of the other Yo-kai in the Yo-kai World has been frozen, Insomni was unharmed. But then, he realized that maybe a force had struck the Yo-kai World while she happened to be in the human world.
Venoct sighed. Each Yo-kai had taken sides: chosen to work with the Shadow, or the Great Cloud. And he was caught right in the middle. He was in the human realm. Venoct was created to be the Yo-kai World's guardian. Shadow Venoct was created to spread shodows and help the Shadow, and Light Venoct was created to defeat Shadow Venoct and spread joy. Gush had taken sides with the Shadow, while Droplette and Drizzle stayed in the human realm away from all the chaos. Slush and Alhail stayed with the Great Cloud. And with the watch bearers now having access to the Yo-kai World, he figured it wouldn't be long before they discovered what had happened. The only one that even had any idea to what had happened was Venoct. The Shadow had taken its next step. Now the Yo-kai World had been turned to shadows. And if the Shadow advanced to the human world... That would be bad. That would be the beginning of the end of the world. All of the worlds. All of the words were tied together, woven together like a cloth. If even one of the worlds was destroyed, it would cause a chain reaction destroying all of the worlds. Not in the same way, no. They would melt away like it was paper burning in a fire.
Lucas had no idea what was going on. One moment, they were in a reddish place filled with Yo-kai, and the next, they suddenly appeared in a dark area lit with torches and filled with cells. Then, a raspy voice spoke from the darkness.
"Ah ha ha ha. You are here, Jenny. Welcome to my dungeon, where prisoners wait to be tu—ahh, no. That would ruin the surprise! Anyway, it is your time." Then walls grew up from the floor around them. As it was about to separate them, Lucas pulled Jenny toward him and they embraced each other. Then, one of the walls crumbled and the rock melted into the floor. "I wouldn't be that cruel, forcing a young couple to be apart!" the voice boomed again. "But I wouldn't be so sure that you two will be together later." Then, even the dim torch light flickered out.
I'm sure all of you know this, but Lucas is actually a real Yo-kai Watch character and Jenny is my OC. I am OBSESSED with him! I love him so much for some reason! And I was thinking about making another sequel when Yo-kai Watch 2 comes out and putting the new Yo-kai in there, but now I'm thinking I may add some of them to this story. Anyway, enough said. I'm gonna try to update more frequently, also so sorry to those of you who were getting annoyed at having to wait for me.
