Kamen Rider ZER0: Yosh time for another new chapter. Ara...Oi GT?
GT: *wearing a blue jacket and a red scarf* Yeah?
Z0: Ah there you are, keep forgetting I'm taller here. Anyway time for another chapter. Got any reviews worth answering?
GT: *looks through the reviews* Hmm...Kamen Rider Ultimate thought our idea of not having Akari in this was a good move.
Z0: It kind of is a general belief her character is not as likeable, again nothing against her actress she does a great job, just the damage has been done. Plus, I really liked GT's OC Cyber-chan and I figured she'd be able to work off of Takeru better, since most of Akari's reactions to things are just shock and disbelief.
GT: And don't forget what we're dealing with mixing Kamen Rider Ghost with. It'd get old and annoying really, really fast.
Z0: Akari's bit got old around episode 1.
GT: *nods* Let's see...Jibanyan with Komasan...okay, they're asking if Komasan lives with Takeru now. The answer for that is yes, yes he is, because it's a temple and Komasan would feel more at home in one.
Z0: Yup, and since the Daitenkuji temple is a Buddhist temple, a Komainu works well. So it all works well in the end. So what else do we have. *reads list of reviews* Kay New Universe Returns is back with some fun questions, first of which will Yokai Benkei appear alongside Eyecon Benkei, and yes that is planned, but that's as much of that as I'll answer for the moment. Secondly he asks about the two DX Eyecons originally intended for the Ghost and Drive crossover film, and whether we might see them again. And well from what I know, those were meant to be a Da Vinci Eyecon for Ghost to use, and a Drive Eyecon to use as well, so we have the Rider Eyecons in the Youtube specials, but as for the Da Vinci one...I can't say for sure, we know more new forms will pop up for Ghost as time goes on so you never really know.
GT: *nods* Right. So let's just put a pin in that question and answer it fully when we finally get more information!
Z0: I'll be sure to tell you guys once I find out. Back to the topic at hand then, GT any other questions?
GT: *shakes head* Oh, but I did learn that there's a new Legendary Man Yokai: Columbus!
Z0: *checks sounds of hacked Ghost Driver* And look at that...there is a Columbus Eyecon
GT: Nice. I wonder if it has two forms like Columbus has. Columbus and Necolumbus.
Z0: All we know is it's phrase when you use it. *taps Ghost Driver*
Ghost Driver: Kaigan Colubus! Saiko Kai! Dai Kokai!
Z0: Which translates to The Best One! Grand Voyage!
GT: *nods* Fitting. Okay! Disclaimers, Takeru-san!
Takeru: Neither of the two writers for this story own either the rights to the two series used for this. They have made it as a fan work for your enjoyment. Sa Inochi Moyasu-ze!

'My name is Tenkuji Takeru, on the day of my 18th birthday I was killed by the ghost like being known as Ganma. But I was revived and given the power to become Kamen Rider Ghost, now I must collect 13 more Eyecons so I can come back to life. It's a hard trial, but I have great friends to help me. I have 88 days left but I have faith we can do it.'
"Ta-dah!" Cyber beamed as she held her hands out, showing both of them had quite a few Yokai Medals in them.
"Sugoi...you've collected a lot." Takeru stated in amazement. "If only Eyecons where this easy to come across…" he chuckled.
"Easy nothing! We had to save your dumb caretaker from all of those Yokai!" Yurusen shouted.
Cyber nodded before holding up one depicting a yellow Yokai with a long nose, "Who knew there were Yokai that caused you to talk so long about an uncle from Osaka?"
"That was the most interesting one," Takeru admitted, "Ear plugs came in handy that day."
"I found it annoying when it inspirited Cyber-chan so she wouldn't be able to summon another Yokai," Whisper noted as he dusted the corners of the ceiling of Takeru's office, "And I still don't get how you writing her normal method of summoning for her to read aloud worked!"
"Heh...you underestimate the greatness of I Yurusen-sama!" Yurusen boasted. "It helps Takeru writes fast. Have you tried writing with these stubby hands?"
"So much for greatness." Whisper added as he put his hands...on what could be considered his hips.
"I heard that!" Yurusen snapped.
"Oh, this was so embarrassing to fight," Cyber blushed as she held another one up.
"I think we're still refusing to buy beans," Takeru agreed.
"I found it an entertaining incident." Yurusen laughed.
"Even when it inspirited you and got the highest stink rating of 22 on a scale of 1 to 10?" Whisper smirked.
"At least I let em rip in your face." Yurusen replied.
"Let's just not use that one unless...it's a very, very specific situation." Takeru replied as he pushed the medal in Cyber's hand down.
"Hai," Cyber nodded, "Though…" she looked at all the medals, "I'm not sure how I can keep them all with me. I don't want to lose any of them since they're signs of my friendship with the Yokai."
"I have a solution for that, whis~!" Whisper informed as he floated down between them.
"You mean you could store them in something?" Takeru asked.
"Of course!" Whisper nodded before pulling out a red book with gold detailing on the cover and back, "The Yokai Dai-jinten!" he opened it up, revealing each page was filled with empty coin slots, "You can store all your Yokai Medals in here! What's more, it constantly adds on new pages when you fill the current ones up!"
"Sugoi~!" the two awed at that as they grabbed the book.
"You could store so many Yokai Medals in here Cyber-san." Takeru smiled as they flipped pages.
"Question how long have you had this?" Yurusen asked.
"I just got it yesterday!" Whisper beamed.
"Nice timing." Takeru smiled, giving Whisper a thumbs up.
Cyber then began to stick Yokai Medals into the slots as Takeru held it up for her.
"And this makes...twelve," Cyber noted, putting the last Medal in, "And a full page, too."
"It's a good way of keeping track of your Yokai friends," Whisper informed.
"Ano...Whisper-san? What about these last pages?" Takeru asked, turning the book to the end, revealing a page sporting six slot circling a strange gold symbol.
"Hmmm…" Whisper shrugged, "Don't know, but it does seem special."
"You ordered it and don't know if the thing might open a weird portal?!" Yurusen complained. "What if when the girl fills it up, it opens a giant portal to your home world?!"
"Doesn't that sound too much like the Ganma Hole?" Takeru pointed out.
"A missing piece," everyone looked down at the table underneath the stairs to see Sennin sitting there, wearing a white wig...Komasan sitting across from him in his own wig, "Many musicians have had that issue. Though one used what was missing to help his music spread!"
"Occhan?" Takeru blinked in surprise a he phased through the floor to land in front of the table. "Is this about another Eyecon?" he asked hopefully as the others came down the normal way.
"In the moonlight, the sonata shall play for a man who is no longer a man," Onari informed.
"A moonlight sonata?" Cyber tilted her head as Takeru's eyes widened at her words.
"Masaka…" he quickly reached into his kimono jacket which they learned he could hide many things inside of; and pulled out his book again. "The Moonlight Sonata is one of the famous works of Beethoven!" he stated, showing them the page depicting Beethoven as he swung a conductor's baton around with musical notes encircling him. "He was famous for writing some of the best works of music ever...even when he lost his hearing, he could still write the greatest symphonies we know."
"A symphony?" Komasan asked, his wig falling off and landing on a sleeping Jibanyan's head.
"A Symphony is a work of music typically done by an orchestra, it has tons of musical instruments that all work together to make a wonderful song." Takeru explained.
"So that means Beethoven is next?" Cyber asked as she looked at Sennin to see he was gone and Komasan wearing Sennin's wig.
"Monge! He vanished!" Komasan exclaimed.
"He did it again…" Cyber noted as Takeru just sighed at the vagueness once again.
"The sonata shall play for a man who is not a man?" Whisper pondered, "What did he mean by that?"
"Maybe…" Takeru pondered, trying to think. "I got nothing." he admitted.
"It is a hard riddle." Cyber admitted. "Maybe he means you...since you're a ghost?"
"If it were that simple, we'd be swimming in Eyecons by now," Yurusen noted as Onari ran in.
"Takeru-dono! We have a hit on the website!" Onari called, holding a laptop.
"We have a website?" Takeru blinked.
"Cyber-kun helped me make it." Onari explained as he held it up, "Look! We have gotten tons of tips and requests to look into strange occurrences at the park."
"The park?" Cyber asked.
"Hai. The one in Blossom Heights," Onari specified, "Apparently, there's been sighting of...a Jinmenken."
"Jinmenken?" Takeru and Cyber blinked.
"There is a link to information in one of the requests." Onari explained, clicking the laptop pulling up a page with basic information on Yokai, though not as much as the stuff Whisper has on his YokaiPad.
"A Yokai that's said to cause bad luck to those who see it?" Cyber questioned as she read a line of information.
"It can turn others into another Jinmenken with its bite?" Takeru gulped, "Even other Yokai and spirits?"
"Exactly, it is a terrifying Yokai, all who have seen the human face on the beast have run before they could be cursed by the Jinmenken." Onari explained as he closed the laptop, "It only shows up at night, though."
"Sounds like werewolf almost." Yurusen pointed out. "Only I doubt it has a human form."
"Whisper-san, is this true?" Cyber asked as Onari and Takeru talked about heading out there.
"A Jinmenken?" Whisper questioned as he took out his YokaiPad and brought up the Ukiukipedia, "Well...Oh! They're members of the Bukimi-zoku. Though...there are tons of debates on whether the inspiriting rumors are true or not about it turning others into Jinmenken with its bite."
"Soka…" Cyber nodded.
"So we should try and go find this Jinmenken, then...what?" Takeru asked.
"Put it in a dogpound?" Yurusen asked bluntly.
"It's a Yokai. It could just phase through the bars or wall," Whisper pointed out.
"Shall we head out tonight?" Onari suggested to Takeru and Cyber.
"I'm good, Cyber-san you free tonight?" Takeru asked.
"Yeah. I don't have any classes tomorrow," Cyber shrugged.
"We're going out on a hunt? For a dog?" Jibanyan asked, "Man...That is weird."
"Isn't Komasan kind of like a dog?" Takeru pointed out.
"Meh. He's a Komainu. Totally different," Jibanyan shrugged before looking up, "...Why am I wearing a wig, nya?"
"That's mine, zura." Komasan said as he swapped wigs with Jibanyan...not really changing anything.
"Well, I guess we're gonna go Jinmenken Hunting...not really hunting." Takeru pointed out to Yurusen, who grumbled in annoyance.
"Okay, so we're each going to take a third of the park to look over?" Cyber questioned as she, Takeru, and Onari all had a flashlight.
"Hai. If anyone sees anything, we call the others." Takeru stated. "We don't know if this Yokai in a bad mood, so be careful."
"Of course, Takeru-dono." Onari nodded in agreement.
"Hai!" Cyber nodded.
"Alright we'll all meet back in the center of the park in an hour." Takeru nodded as he began walking, Komasan walking off with him.
"Be careful, Takeru-Dono, Cyber-kun." Onari said as he walked off on his own to his end of the park.
"Hai! Ganbatte, minna!" Cyber nodded as she turned her own light on and began to shine her Yokai Watch about, Jibanyan and Whisper going with her.
Takeru and Komasan walked down the path of the park as the young ghost shone his light into the bushes and foliage. So far, nothing really. Komasan nervously looking around, his own flashlight in his paws. A twig snapped.
"Monge!" Komasan freaked as he ran behind Takeru.
"What is it, Komasan?" Takeru asked as he reached into his jacket to grab one of his Eyecons, "Did you see the Jinmenken?"
"I heard a noise that sounded like snapping, zura…" he explained poking his head out from behind Takeru's leg.
"You mean like that twig right there?" he asked with a slight chuckle, shining his light on a broken twig.
"O-Oh, zura…" Komasan gulped before some bushes up ahead ruffled as a toy poodle began to back out of it, "A dog, zura?"
"It's a toy poodle," Takeru explained, "It's a small version of a poodle." he explained. "Come on. Go home, little guy." he stated trying to shoo the dog so it would go home.
"Go home, Toy Poodle." Komasan added, mimicking Takeru.
The toy poodle pulled its head out and looked at them. Both of their eyes widened considerably.
"Nothing," Cyber noted as she had no luck in her search.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!-!-!"
"Wh-What was that?!" Cyber freaked as she picked up Jibanyan and shivered, looking around.
"I know that kind of scream...it is the scream of terror from something one can not unsee." Whisper proclaimed, "Takeru-kun must have found the Jinmenken."
"Ah, that makes sense." Cyber agreed, "But where could they be?"
"My best guess...clear other side of the park." Whisper explained quickly. "Given how loud the scream was, yet so far."
"H-hai," Cyber nodded.
"Uh...Cyber-chan? You may want to let go on Jibanyan, whis," Whisper pointed.
"Hm?" Cyber looked down to see Jibanyan's head was turning blue, "Oh!" she let go of the cat Yokai, letting him inhale deeply, "Gomen!"
"I saw the light…" he groaned.
"No time. We must save Takeru-kun before he is turned into a Jinmenken." Whisper stated as he flew off towards the scream. "It'd be bad if we lost our armored hero."
"WILL YOU TWO STOP SCREAMING?!" the Toy Poodle snapped, its head that of a balding man's with a tuff of green hair, nerd glasses, and a pinkish-red lin over its nose.
"?!" both stared at it as it got up, holding the umbrella that had been in its mouth upside-down.
"What is with the youth of today?" the Yokai sighed as he made a few practice swings, using the umbrella like a gold club, "Screaming at their elders like this…"
"It talked…" both Takeru and Komasan spoke as they were holding onto each other and hiding behind a park bench. "It talked!"
"Of course I can talk," the Yokai snorted, "I am a Yokai, after all."
Yokai Jinmenken
Class: Bukimi-zoku
Type: Fire
Rank: E
He swung his umbrella like a golf club, hitting a soda can and sending it into the air. Jinmenken watched as it flew through their air and landed in a recycling bin.
"Yes!" Jinmenken pumped his fist before frowning as he looked at the two behind the bench, "Truly, what is with today's youth? Always running about, screaming their heads off…"
"This is the Jinmenken?" Komasan blinked as he and Takeru let go of each other.
"He sounds like an old man." Takeru stated bluntly.
"That's 'cause he is." Yurusen stated as she poofed in next to them.
"Yurusen?" Komasan asked, the two looking at her.
"Look at him. He's ancient. But I get a weird feeling from him. He doesn't feel like a Yokai... Ah! He must be a Ganma." she stated.
"Ganma?" the two blinked.
"I'm not Greek or a part of a fraternity," Jinmenken frowned.
"See? He's trying to hide himself! Guilty~! Takeru...attack!" she ordered.
"I don't really get it, but hai," Takeru nodded as he summoned the Ghost Driver and put the Ore Eyecon into it.
=EYE~= he pulled the lever and the Ore Parka came out =BATTCHIRIMINNA~!=
"Henshin!" he shouted pushing the lever back in opening the eye inside the driver to reveal the face of Ore Damashii.
=KAIGAN: ORE! Let's Go! Kakugo! GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST! GO! GO! GO! GO!=
With that, the black suit and armor of Ghost's Transient state formed over Takeru before the Ore Parka put itself on the Kamen Rider. His mask locked in place and gave a brief flash to signify it had locked into place. Ghost grabbed his hood before he pulled it off.
"Huh?" Jinmenken pondered as Ghost summoned the Gan Gun Saber.
"Ikuze!" Ghost shouted as he charged and swung down with the Gan Gun Saber.
Jinmenken freaked out as he jumped out, letting the sword strike the ground leaving a large cut in the ground.
"You won't get away." Ghost said as he pulled out another Eyecon. "Ike Edison!" he shouted as he swapped Eyecons out in the Ghost Driver.
=KAIGAN: EDISON! Ereki~ Hirameki~ Hatsumai-Oh~!=
"Yay! Ike, Edison-san, zura!" Komasan cheered.
"GAH!" Jinmenken freaked as he dodged the lightning shots, "I'M A DOG! I'M A DOG! INU DA!"
Ghost grunted as the antenna on his hood charged electricity before he discharged another bolt at Jinmenken, making him run. Ghost began running after him. He reformed the Gan Gun Saber to Gun Form and began shooting large bolts of lightning at Jinmenken, leaving larger craters in the ground with each blast.
"Ike, Kamen Rider Ghost!" Yurusen cheered with a laugh in her voice.
"..." Ghost turned around, the yellow of his mask now orange, "Mu~ri~"
"This one again?!" Yurusen snapped as she noticed a wall the size of a human beside Ghost, sporting orange legs and feet and a neutral face.
"Iee arigatou, Murikabe!" Cyber panted as she ran up.
"Muri~" the wall shrugged as it walked off, the orange gone from the mask on Ghost.
"What is this about?! Why would you shoot at a dog?!" Jinmenken snapped.
"Oh! It's the Jinmenken!" Cyber gasped.
"Don't listen. It's a lie! It's a Ganma! Shoot him before he does something bad," Yurusen spoke as she shoved Jinmenken aside.
"..." Whisper took out his YokaiPad, "...An exact match for the Yokai Jinmenken."
"Mu~Ri~" Ghost spoke again.
"YOU'RE NOT EVEN INSPIRITED ANYMORE!" Yurusen snapped.
"I just enjoy seeing her face when I do that." Ghost admitted to Whisper.
"Gomen!" Takeru bowed.
"It's fine," Jinmenken shrugged as he practiced his swing again.
"Nice shot!" Whisper commented.
"Ah!" Jinmenken smiled before sighing, "Oh what's the use?"
"...Ano...Is everything okay?" Cyber asked.
"He seems to be very...melancholy." Takeru explained. "I think he's depressed over something."
"You think one would be more high spirited to not be fried by electricity." Whisper commented.
"You really want to hear my story?" Jinmenken questioned Cyber.
"Hai," Cyber nodded, "It might help make you feel a bit better letting someone hear it, ne?"
"That's right, it's the least I can do since I almost...zapped you." Takeru admitted.
"The least we could do is nothing." Yurusen replied only to be smacked over the head by a paper fan knocking her down.
"Than let's get properly acquainted," Jinmenken smirked.
"You again?" a vendor questioned as Jinmenken took a seat at a traveling cart, Cyber and Takeru taking the seats at his sides.
"I'll take the usual sake, Yamada," Jinmenken replied as the vendor put a cup of sake before him.
"Ano...Do you have any milk or tea?" Cyber asked.
"Of course," Yamada nodded, serving her a cup of milk.
"I'll take some juice if you have any." Takeru spoke up.
Yamamda nodded, "Some fresh apple juice then."
Jinmenken drank his sake, "Thanks, Yamada."
"...Jinmenken can be seen by other humans?" Cyber asked.
"It looks that way," Whisper observed.
"How?" Takeru asked, "I mean, you said that some Yokai could...but only the very powerful ones."
Whisper quickly checked the Yokai Ukiukipedia, "It's because of that tuff of green hair on his head."
"His hair?" the two looked at Jinmenken as his drink was refilled.
"Yes. The green hair on his head seems to act like a leaf that some Yokai can use to disguise themselves as humans," Whisper noted, motioning to Komasan, who was being served a cup of milk while he wore a leaf on his head, "While you two see him as Komasan since you know who he really is, others only see another human."
"You mean like Kitsune in some old stories?" Takeru asked, remembering old folk tales of Samurai that would fall in love with a woman, only to learn it was really a Kitsune playing a trick.
"Somewhat like that," Whisper replied, "Kitsune can naturally do that without any mediums. The best other Yokai could do to imitate that skill was eventually the simple leaf-on-head technique."
"..." Jinmenken finished his second drink of sake, "...Thirty-five years…" they looked at him, "For thirty-five years, I worked as an accountant. I loved my job, almost as much as my wife whom I met at a conference in my tenth year there. The pay was good, the benefits were fine, everything was going well."
"He's spilling his life story," Yurusen stated as she recovered from the paper fan to the head, "How much did you give him to drink?"
"He was human?" Takeru asked.
"Some Yokai are born from human spirits," Whisper explained.
"Then even I could have become one?" Takeru asked.
"Well, you were pretty dead. I mean, you woke up in the afterlife after all." Yurusen stated.
"Then...Budget cuts," Jinmenken sighed, "With the recession we had six months ago, I lost my job due to budget cuts. I gave thirty-five long years to that company and I was fired just like that." he sniffled a bit, "I...I was so ashamed that day. How would I be able to go home to my wife and our daughter and tell them I lost my job? So...I ended up here and ended up drinking until I got drunk.
"Isn't that what he's doing right now?" Yurusen pointed out.
"You had a wife?" Cyber asked.
"And a daughter. She was going to start her first year of middle school, too," Jinmenken noted with a fond smile before frowning with a sigh, "I was out of my mind, drunk and in grief of trying to think of how to tell them that money would be tight until I could get another job. So I wandered the streets."
"So then what happened?" Takeru asked.
"In my drunken state, I tend to...well...drunk dance," Jinmenken informed with a chuckle of embarrassment, "I didn't look where I was going and hit some large wooden planks meant for construction near here and they fell...right on top of me and an innocent toy poodle that was just wandering by."
"You...were crushed by wooden boards...?" Takeru asked, thinking of how much that must have hurt, not that getting almost cut in half was any better.
"Oh~! The poor puppy and Jinmenken-san~!" Cyber sniffled.
"Yes. When I awoke from that and saw my reflection in the park's pond, I saw that I had ended up becoming…" he motioned to himself, "...this."
"So...you plus a toy poodle times wooden boards...makes a Jinmenken?" Takeru asked with a raised brow.
"That's kinyda weird, nya," Jibanyan noted.
"Math...it stinks." Yurusen stated bluntly.
"Yokai origins are usually strange and unusual," Whisper supplied.
"Oh...Ano, what about your family, zura?" Komasan asked.
"Hm? Oh, I had a lovely wife and daughter. By now, I'm sure my life insurance was cleared and she's working hard," Jinmenken replied, "And my dau...and my dau…" he dropped his sake cup on the counter as his eyes widened, the pupils becoming dots.
"HE JUST FREAKIN' REMEMBERED!" Yurusen shouted, shaking the entire cart.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!-!-!-! CHIKUSHO!" Jinmenken freaked, tossing some cash he had scavenged around the park onto the cart and running off, "IT'S ALMOST HER BIRTHDAY!"
"Eh?" Cyber blinked, paying for her, Takeru, and Komasan's drinks before following.
"Where? Where is it?!" Jinmenken freaked as he entered the park.
"He's lost it," Yurusen stated.
"Ano...Jinmenken-san, what's wrong?" Takeru asked.
"Not here!" Jinmenken looked under a bench before digging through a recycling bin, "Not here, either! Chikusho! I...I can't remember where it is!"
"Many Yokai tend to have memory loss from the trauma of becoming a Yokai," Whisper reminded the two, glancing over at Jibanyan.
"Just like the cat," Yurusen simplified, "Ironic. First, a cat; now a dog...we aren't keeping this one."
"What are you looking for, zura?" Komasan asked.
"Something the day before I became a Yokai! An important present to my daughter for her birthday tomorrow!" Jinmenken explained as he looked around, "I hid it here, but...but I can't remember what I got her or what I had it wrapped up in!"
"You hid a present in the park?" Cyber blinked, looking at Takeru who just shrugged.
"Why on earth would a man do that?" Yurusen asked.
"The party was supposed to be here, so I hid it here with clues…" Jinmenken informed, "But...The only thing I can remember from those is some notes!"
"Than don't you remember them?"
"Not written notes, musical notes! My daughter and I love music, especially classical music!" Jinmenken ordered before coughing and letting out some off-key howls, making them cringe and cover their ears, "I can't even remember the name of it, but that melody is one we both loved to listen to together!"
"That was hard to make sense of…" Takeru admitted, his ears wringing slightly before he shook it off. Ghost powers offered quicker healing, go figure.
"Cyber, why not summon some more Yokai to help us search?" Whisper suggested.
"R-Right!" Cyber nodded, "Don't worry, Jinmenken-san, we'll do our best to help you!" with that, she opened her Yokai Watch up, "Watashi wa tomodachi! Debekoi, Bakurobaa, Meramelion, and Tsuchinoko!" she caught the three Medals, "Yokai Medals, set on!"
=FUSHIGI SHOKAN!= a yellow scroll of light erupted from the Yokai Watch =Fushigi! Fushigi! Bugiugi! Oretacha, ōhashagī!=
"Bakurobaa~!" a really tiny elderly lady with extra-long arms called out.
=IZAMASHI SHOKAN!= a red scroll went next =Isamashi! Mezamashi! Rasshaimashī!=
"MERAMELION~! MERA!-!-!-!" a child-sized, humanoid lion in a black karate outfit and a mane of fire roared out ,fire blazing in its eyes.
=NYORORON SHOKAN!= a green-blue scroll went last =Nyororōn! Derorōn! Sorosoro, ii darōn!?=
"Tsuchinoko!" a little yellow snake-like Yokai with a four-leaf clover-like thing on its head declared before giving a few squeaks, its exposed tongue showing the end was shaped like a heart.
"Minna, please help Jinmenken-san," Cyber pleaded, "He's lost his daughter's birthday gift in the park and we need to find it!"
"MERA!" Meramelion roared with a nod before dashing off with a roar.
"Baa~" Bakurobaa nodded as she hopped off, Tsuchinoko nodding before slithering away to help search.
"But...you just met me. Why are you helping me?" Jinmenken asked.
"Because it wouldn't be right leaving when someone needs help," Cyber replied.
"Besides, this is clearly important to you and your daughter." Takeru explained, "It's the least we can do." he smiled as he summoned the Ghost Driver.
"You're not going to shoot lightning at me again, are you?" Jinmenken gulped nervously.
"No worries, I'm the good guy. I won't make that mistake again." he stated as he pulled out Edison's Eyecon again. "Lend me your power, Edison." he said before clicking it, "Henshin." he stated as he slotted the Eyecon.
=EYE~=
With that, the Edison Parka flew out and around Takeru, dancing to the tune of the Ghost Driver. He then pulled and pushed the lever, making the belt 'blink.'
=KAIGAN: EDISON! Ereki~ Hirameki~ Hatsumei-Oh~!=
"How does Edison fit into this?" Whisper asked.
"Watch and learn," Ghost replied, "Like he always says; one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration." He stated as he raised his right index finger as his shoulders and mask lit up with bright light.
"The synchronisation with Edison's soul is strong!" Yurusen stated, "Cyber, summon Edison, too!"
"Ano...I...uh...can't," Cyber replied, putting the gold Medal into the Watch.
=UH-UH-UH~=
"It doesn't register it for some reason," Cyber explained, taking the Medal out.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Yurusen face faulted.
"Why isn't Edison-san coming?" Komasan asked.
"Cyber, let me see that Medal," Whisper informed.
"Hai?" Cyber handed Whisper the medal.
"...Oh, here's the problem. He gave you a 'Merican Yokai Medal," Whisper informed.
"...A what Yokai Medal?"
"It's one used outside of Japan," Whisper explained, "You need a Yokai Watch from the Americas in order to use it." he snorted, "Honestly, what kind of thinking were they doing there with the tribe naming there?"
"But it makes sense since Edison-san is an American inventor." Ghost chimed in.
"You're just lucky your Ghost Driver isn't Region Locked," Yurusen chuckled.
"I'll go looking over here!" Jibanyan called as he ran off.
"We'll help, zura!" Komasan nodded to Jinmenken as he ran off as well, "Ganbatte, Takeru-san!"
"Yosh…" Ghost called out as he put his hands into a meditative hand sign and let his mind begin to work, letting the power of Edison take over.
Electricity then flowed into his antenna making his suit light up. A surge of electricity then went across the ground and through the area, searching for anything that was different in the area. Unfortunately...it caused Cyber's hair and Jinmenken's fur to puff up.
"Eh?!" Cyber exclaimed, looking at her reflection in the water, "I have an afro?!"
"I just got my fur fluffed just the right way!" Jinmenken freaked.
"Huh?" Ghost blinked as he lost focus, resulting in a bolt of lightning being shot from his antenna at a tree, blowing it up. "Oops…"
"...Yeeeeaaaaahhhh...I'm-uh...I'm gonna go look...somewhere away from the electric man here," Jinmenken informed as he ran off in the direction Komasan had gone.
"My goof, huh?" Ghost asked, scratching the back of his hood as he walked up next to Cyber.
"..." Cyber finished brushing her hair back down before slowly putting the brush back into her purse...when it poofed back up into an afro, "D'oh."
"Sorry…" Ghost sighed, hanging his head low.
"It...It's okay," Cyber assured, the bluenette brushing her hair, "I'll look around here. Why don't you look...elsewhere where no one ends up with afros?"
"Right...Maybe Musashi will be better." Ghost sighed as he walked away while changing Eyecons, reverting to Transient as he did so.
"MERA?" a recycling bin was lifted before dropped, "MERA?" a vending machine was lifted up before dropped, "MERA?!"
"Not in here," Jibanyan noted, pulling his head out of a hole in a tree and then going into another one, "NYOI! BEES?!" he screamed as the mad buzzing of bees could be heard from within the tree, mix with his yowls.
"Zura?" Komasan blinked as he looked into a bush, "Nope...zura." he muttered, "If I was a present...where would I hide, zura?" he asked himself.
"Not in here," Jinmenken noted, poking out of a recycling bin before jumping into another, "Not in here." he dug under the bench, "Not under her-OOH! BONE!"
"Why is there a bone in the middle of a park, zura?" Komasan asked, hearing that. "Maybe, I don't want to know zura?" he shivered as Jinmenken gnawed at it.
A few squeaks and some bushes rustled. More squeaks and the leaves of a tree shook. Tsuchinoko peeked out of a recycling bin before going back in with another squeak.
"Baa…" Bakurobaa swung along the trees, looking around, "Baa-baa…" she landed on a tree before spotting a figure completely black, looking around, "Baa?"
She jumped down and latched onto the figure's jaw. Her body gave a soft, unnoticeable glow, as the figure's eyes briefly flashed.
"Once I find that item I can see if it has an Eyecon connected to it and return it to Aran-sama." the figure spoke, revealing itself to be a primal body Ganma. "Wait...why did I say that out loud? Stupid human world making me talk to myself..."
"Robaa?!" Bakurobaa gasped before letting go and starting hopping away to where she last saw Cyber.
"Hmmm?" Ghost Musashi Damashii muttered as his katana handle topknot stuck out of a bush, "Nope. Nothing, ah...I need to get an Eyecon with super senses...that would make this kind of work a lot easier." Ghost sighed as he stood up, a stick stuck in the metal headband around his helmet.
Ghost then walked out of the bush as he swapped Eyecons and reverted to Ore Damashii.
"Jinmenken must have hidden it...somewhere he would remember...Think. I'm an old salaryman who wants to surprise his little girl...where would I hide the gift for a surprise?" he tapped his chin, "...Maybe that tune he tried to howl could be a clue. That tune..." he muttered as he began tapping his finger against a bench to the tune as best he could, "Ara…" he blinked as he began tapping it again, but quicker and making a few adjustments to the tune. "That tune...it's Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata." he realized. "Minna!-!-!" he shouted as he ran back to where he last saw Cyber.
"Any luck?" Cyber asked as all the Yokai but Jibanyan and Bakurobaa came up.
"Mera," Meramelion shook his head.
Tsuchinoko groaned, looking nothing more than skin and bones.
"Oh my goodness!" Cyber gasped as she picked the Yokai up, "What happened?"
"It seems he inspirited someone," Whisper noted, "When a Tsuchinoko inspirits someone, they give them really good luck, but they also start to starve."
"Mmm…" Cyber took out a chocobo and let Tsuchinoko eat it, "Okay. Komasan? Jinmenken-san?"
"Nothing," Jinmenken sighed.
"Sorry, zura," Komasan apologized.
"It's okay. We'll just have to keep looking harder, that's all," Cyber assured.
"Let us hope the others have something." Whisper spoke up.
"Minna!" Takeru's voice called out as Kamen Rider Ghost ran over to them, "I figured it out!" he shouted as he skidded to a stop in front of them before he scooped up Jinmenken. "It's Beethoven!" he shouted excitedly. "The gift is related to Beethoven!"
"Beet...hoven…" Jinmenken whispered before gasping, "That's it! I...I bought a pair of metronome from an antique mall, both used by Beethoven! I was going to give the one that had his initials written on it to my daughter while I would keep the other on my desk at work!" he looked around, "I...I hid it where the tune we both loved to hear would sometime end up playing when it rained here. It'd play the first few notes from the raindrops hitting the things under the leaves."
"This is great! This is the clue to the Eyecon!" Ghost cheered as he placed Jinmenken down before he began to float from excitement. "Yatta!" he cheered, "This is very lucky, isn't it!?" he asked happily as he randomly grabbed Cyber in his arms and spun her around.
"Ah! T-Takeru-san?!" Cyber squeaked out in surprise.
"Eyewhatnow?" Jinmenken asked, earning shrugs from Meramelion and Tsuchinoko.
"Gomen, gomen…" Ghost chuckled as he let Cyber down.
"It...It's okay," Cyber blushed, "Just warn me next time so I can enjoy it, too."
"Hai," he nodded.
"Oi, soft serve head...don't they look just adorable together?" Yurusen giggled.
"I'm conflicted," Whisper admitted, "On the one hand, they do look adorable. On the other, I am butler and must protect my lady from threats, even dating."
"blhh ghst og (What's going on, nya)?"
"...Jibanyan?" Cyber blinked before the two turned to see Jibanyan approach, limping and covered in bee stings, "OH MY GOODNESS!"
"Whoa…" Ghost muttered seeing this. "Jibanyan...what happened to you?" he asked, slowly walking up to him taking his eyecon out and reverting to Takeru as he got closer. "You look like you lost a fight to a very angry giant wasp."
"Bwahahahaha….look at him!" Yurusen laughed before Jibanyan spat out a bee, nailing Yurusen in the eye. "GAH!" she cried. "It stings! It STINGS!"
"Oh, why did Honoboono-san have to go on vacation with Donyonrinne-san?" Cyber muttered as she scooped the injured cat up to gently cuddle him.
Tsuchinoko put his heart-shaped tail on Jibanyan's head and glowed softly. Removing it, Jibanyan blinked to see his wounds were all gone.
"Oh! I didn't know you were a restorative type, Ts…" Cyber began before seeing Tsuchinoko was, yet again, skin and bones, "Oh dear!" she gave a chocobo to both Jibanyan and the Tsuchinoko..
"Okay...no more healing tricks for you." Takeru said, petting Tsuchinoko. "At least that problem is solved…" he muttered. "Wait...we're missing one Yokai." he noted.
"Baa!" Bakurobaa called as she bounced up, "Baa-baa! Baa!"
"What?!" Whisper exclaimed, "Takeru-kun, there's a Ganma nearby, searching for it as well!"
"Nani?" Takeru blinked. "Then it must really be related to an Eyecon, we need to find it first." he ordered to everyone.
"R-Right! ...Now where is that place again?" Jinmenken muttered in worry.
"Wait...you said someplace where you could hear the tone of one Beethovne's songs...maybe you hid it there." Takeru offered.
"Oh, that makes sense." Cyber agreed, "Jinmenken-san...where was that place?"
"..." Jinmenken pointed at the gazebo on a tiny island in the pond, "Over there. When it rained, my daughter and I would normally go under there. The tree above it would get hit with the rain and the drops from its leaves would often sound like the opening for Moonlight Sonata."
"It's our best bet." Takeru said as he walked to the edge of the pond. "I could float right over there." he stated, summoning his Driver again.
"There's a bridge that connects to it up ahead," Jinmenken informed as he ran off.
"When Takeru-kun is focused, he is very straightforward...he misses the things to the side." Whisper pointed out.
"Mera-mera," Meramelion nodded with the other Yokai.
"Henshin!"
=KAIGAN: ORE!=
With that, Takeru changed into Ghost's Transient state as the Ore Parka floated around him and put itself on with a flash of orange light.
=Let's go! Kakugo! GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST! GO! GO! GO! GO!=
With that, Ghost tossed his hood back. He flashed orange and floated into the air before he floated across the water as fast as he could, making it to the Gazebo first. Looking around, he noticed a broken grate on the bottom of the gazebo. He reached into it as the others came up to the gazebo.
"Ah...it's too deep or it's been pushed back…" Ghost complained before he remembered. "Oh duh…" he remembered as he passed through the floor. Ghost's hand then came out of the grate, holding a present. His head popped out of the ground. "Bwah...it's almost like swimming."
"Oh!" Jinmenken ran over, opening the present carefully to reveal two metronomes, "Oh thank goodness. They're both still intact."
"That's good." Ghost agreed his head still sticking out of the ground from the neck up. "That means when we synch with the ghost of Beethoven, only one will be turned into the Eyecon."
"What?!" Jinmenken exclaimed, hugging both object close.
"Oh...I might have forgotten to mention that." Ghost chuckled sheepishly.
"Ano...Takeru-san...could you maybe stop being a head on the ground?" Cyber asked.
"Right sorry." Ghost nodded as he floated his body out of the ground before a blast hit the gazebo's roof, blowing its top off.
"Roinks!" Jinmenken yelped, jumping up and landing into Whisper's arms, holding both metronome tighter.
"It found us!" Whisper yelped.
"Hand over the Eyecons!" the Ganma shouted from a tree.
"Yeah...no." Everyone shook their head at the same time.
"Don't joke with me!" He shouted as he jumped at them, only for Ghost to land a left hook to the Ganma's face, knocking him into the water.
"Cyber, take Jinmenken away from here." Ghost ordered calmly. "I'll handle this."
The Ganma got out of the water well he stood up. He looked up only for a black boot to hit him across the face as Ghost floated around the Ganma. The Ganma tried getting up again only for Ghsot to swoop down and slammed his metal knee pad to the Ganma's head, knocking him back down into the water. Once more, the Ganma tried getting back to his feet, only to feel a hand on his shoulder, making him turn to see Ghost who then landed a side kick to the Ganma's abdomen, making him double over forward. This gave Ghost the chance to slam yet another knee strike to the Ganma's face, disorienting him even more.
"Huh...He's a lot easier than the others," Ghost said as he grabbed a punch from the Ganma before he slammed a punch to its chest, making it groan as a loud boom came from the impact. "Was I always this strong?" he pondered as he blocked another punch. Ghost then grabbed the Ganma's arm before swinging the monster and tossing him away essentially, skipping him across the water like a pebble at least three times.
"Doi! Goi! Duh!" the Ganma grunted before crashing into the amphitheater, breaking the door into the instrument room.
The Ganma stumbled forward, dazed and confused. Ghost's hand then phased through a wall and grabbed the Ganma's shoulder, bringing him face first into a wall and slamming it to it due to shock. The Ganma hit its face to the wall, leaving an indent of it. A punch then knocked him back several steps. It tripped over a tuba and landed on a drum.
"Okay. This is easier than normal," Ghost noted.
"Onore…!" the Ganma growled before looking around, "...Fuck it." it grabbed all the instruments and began to glow with them all.
"Oh come on…!" Ghost complained, tossing his arms up in annoyance.
The Music Ganma came into existence at that. Its parka was a rusted color with a series of wind instruments going up the front while the hood resembling a tuba horn. Its shoulders had drum-shaped guards with tuba horns coming out of them while its chest sported a triangle over the Ganma emblem. The ends of its fingers resembled the place one would put their lips on a woodwind, sharpened to points. On its back was a pair of acoustic guitars lined in spikes.
"Music Ganma," Ghost complained as he pulled out Musashi, "Let's go samurai, Musashi." Ghost said as he clicked it and placed it in the Ghost Driver. The Musashi parka coming out and swinging around Ghost before setting itself up.
=KAIGAN: MUSASHI! Ketto! Zubatto! Cho-Kengo!=
With that the Parka putiself on in a red flash before the Gan Gun Saber flew out of the Ghost Driver already split into it's Nitoryu mode as the two blades stayed back to back making it look like it's regular broadsword mode. Ghost grabbed the handles of both swords before slowly pulling them apart, Ghost swung both blades down as he looked back up.
Both Kamen Rider and Ganma circled one another waiting for the other to make the first move. The Ganma swung its claw like fingers first only for Ghost to take a step back and swing his left sword slashing the Ganma across the chest making black blood and sparks fly from the blades cut. The Ganma grunted as it backed off and kicked only for Ghost to block with his left sword cutting into the Ganma's leg making it grunt in pain as it limped back.
Ghost shouted as he charged and swung his right blade cutting the Ganma down it's shoulder making it stumble back, Ghost pressed on as he slashed his left across the Ganma's abdomen. The Music Ganma grunted again before ducking to the left from another slash from Ghost.
The Music Ganma stumbled to it's feet as it stayed low to avoid another slash from the Kamen Rider. Ghost lowered his stance as well as he rested his right sword on his shoulder and tapped his left on the ground. Both circled one another before the two charged. The Ganma punched forward as Ghost slashed both his swords. The two fighters passed each other with the clang of metal sounding. Ghost stood with his twin swords pointing forward as he slashed the Ganma across the chest and abdomen. The Ganma stumbled as it's blood spilled again.
Ghost grunted as he turned around ready to slash once again, only for the Ganma to turn and unleash a loud off tune burst of sound from the tuba horns, the sound burst hitting Ghost and sending him flying back into a wall the force and sound pushing the Kamen Rider against the wall. His ears ringing from the burst of sound both from volume and how offtune and bad it sounded.
"Ah…" Ghost groaned holding his head, "That sounded just awful…"
"Hahaha...take that Kamen Rider," the Music Ganma laughed.
"Ugh...I get that feeling of nausea whenever you hear something really off tune or to high…" Ghost groaned as he finally gained enough composure to pass through the wall.
"You won't escape me!" the Music Ganma shouted as he unleashed another blast of sound at the wall, shattering it to find no Ghost on the other side. "Nani?"
=KAIGAN: EDISON! Ereki~ Hirameki~ Hatsumei-Oh~!=
Ghost then jumped out from the floor behind the Ganma surprising him, Ghost held his twins swords in hand as both had a strong electric charge. Ghost slashed the Ganma down the chest twice with each blade. Each slash unleashed an electric charge into the Ganma, making it stumble back as sparks and electricity flew off it's body.
Ghost took this opening to fold his extra sword and inserted it back into the main sword backwards. He then folded it down as it clicked into gun form. Ghost then aimed his gun at the Ganma just as it got ready to unleash it's sound blast again. Ghost pulled the trigger as a bullet of yellow lightning charged into the barrel. The electric charge surged into it before the trigger was pulled unleashing that buller like a round out of a rail gun propelled by the normal burst of energy and an electromagnetic charge made by Ghost Edison Damashii.
The Bullet flew out from the gun at the same time as the Ganma's sound burst. Both attacks coming towards one another only for Ghost's bullet to pass through the sound burst due to it's sheer speed creating a mach cone that cut through the sound; allowing it to fly without bother and hit the Ganma's chest making a small explosion as the Ganma was sent flying out the very hole in the wall it made. The Sound blast went past Ghost and hit the wall behind him. Ghost raised his gun up to his helmet as an electric charge still surged around the muzzle of the barrel. The Kamen Rider made a motion as if blowing it out like the smoke from a regular gun.
"What happened to the guy he was fighting?" Jinmenken asked as the others approached the area.
"I shot him out the wall." Ghost explained as he lowered his gun. "He's not dead yet just so you know."
"Why is he after my present to my daughter?!" Jinmenken demanded, holding the two metronome close.
"Because it's connected to an Eyecon, so he wants to make the Eyecon to use...for something Evil I'm guessing. We never did learn what." Ghost pointed out rubbing his chin.
"I'm not sure myself, I just know it's bad and we need them more." Yurusen explained.
"What are you talking about?! From what you said earlier it means that I'll be losing one or both of these and I can't! Not when I just found them again!"
"Ugh...I never considered we'd meet someone who is worried about losing the item," Yurusen complained. "Soft Serve head any ideas? You're better with annoying people...or Yokai."
"Why than-OI!" Whisper snapped.
"...It's kinda like Beethoven," everyone looked at Cyber, "I mean, Beethoven lost something, but he did great things. You might lose one of them, Jinmenken-san, but you'll still have something great; the other to give words of encouragement to your daughter, to put your heart and soul into."
"That's sweet and all, but I doubt…" Yurusen began before she looked at a teary eyed Jinmenken. "IT WORKED!" she shouted in shock as she fell out of the air.
"She has a point, Jinmenken," Ghost said as he kneeled down next to him. "Plus, this way the Ganma will never come after your family, you will also ensure their safety from these monsters."
"T...To lose something...only to get something greater…" Jinmenken noted as the metronome with the initials on it began to shine, "...Just like Beethoven…"
"Exactly," Ghost nodded before he turned and shot a thunderbolt at the Music Ganma as it tried to get back in through the hole in the wall.
"OH COME ON!" the Music Ganma snapped.
"We can make the Eyecon after I finish this fight," Ghost said before his mask lit up, "Light bulb." he said as an idea came to him. "Cyber, the Yokai can still inspirit me even as Ghost right, have Meramelion inspirit me." he stated.
"MERA!" Meramelion nodded as he jumped on Ghost's shoulders, "MERA-MERA-MERA~~~~!"
A blazing aura erupted around Ghost as the white on his parka turned fire-colored.
"Inochi MOYASU-ZE!-!" Ghost roared loudly as electricity surged into the air around him.
"AGAIN?!" Jinmenken shouted as his fur poofed up along with Komasan and Jibanyan's fur and Bakurobaa and Cyber's hair ending up as afros.
"This is a lot of electricity," Cyber noted.
"Oh come on!" the Music Ganma complained.
Ghost then pulled the lever of his Ghost Driver out then in, making it blink.
=DAIKAIGAN: EDISON! OMEGA DRIVE!=
Ghost tossed his gun away before he pointed his right index finger into the air. Lightning then fell from the sky and crashed into the Kamen Rider's finger. The electricity surged into his antenna as well. Ghost slowly brought his hand down and aimed it at the Ganma.
"HA!" Ghost shouted as he unleashed a powerful beam of electric energy surging multiple bright warm colors before it pierced through the Ganma.
The Electricity carried off the Ganma's parka in the air behind it both connected by a tether of electric energy. Ghost then turned away from the Ganma as it exploded into a giant ball of fire that lit up the sky for a second, electricity surging across the ground leaving a crooked scorch pattern as if a real bolt of lightning had struck there.
Ghost sighed as Meramelion jumped off him. The fire-coloring on his parka changed back to white the moment the lion Yokai hopped off him. Meramelion gave a thumbs up at Ghost, earning one in return.
"Yosha, mission complete!" Ghost grinned. Yurusen appearing behind his shoulder.
"What mission?" she complained in a deadpan.
"Defeating the Ganma?"
"You do that at least three times a week, and that's when you're not saving your sidekicks from being possessed by Yokai," Yurusen pointed out.
"Mah...you're just a kill joy Yurusen." Ghost complained as he took his Eyecon out of the Ghost Driver and closed it reverting to Takeru.
=Oyasumi~=
"You forgot about the Eyecon?" Yurusen inquired.
"Oh right." he remembered as he looked at Jinmenken. "Okay, let's see about making that Eyecon." he then moved his hands in a circle, forming the eye crest in the air as it pulsated for a moment before Takeru pointed it at Jinmenken, "Ready?"
Jinmenken nodded, holding up the glowing metronome while handing the other to Cyber to hold. Takeru nodded before he sent the eye symbol flying at Jinmenken and the metronome the eye passing over it. White and black smoke came from the metronome as it faded away. The smoke swirled around before dispersing into a grey and white parka, the front of it resembling two pairs of piano keys, it's black shoulder pads having a matching pattern of keys as two tassels hung down from the shoulders acting as arms, each one white with black marks to make a piano pattern once more. The Hood also had two protrusions from the sides that resembled curling hair/sideburns. Grey eyes blinked from within. The Parka was also much longer than normal, acting more like a trench/conductor's coat than a parka. The Parka struck a pose with its hands raised up, matching the one from Takeru's book, a bright grey spectral image of it floating beside the Parka.
"Beethoven," Takeru said as he walked up to the Parka as it floated around Jinmenken, giving a few bows and shaking his paws, before it then turned to Takeru and looked the young man in the eyes and nodded to him.
It then flew into the Ghost Driver as a Grey ripple came from it and formed into an Eyecon. It was Grey and the top read 06 BEETHOVEN, with the mask pattern seeming to be a series of strings going straight down with two eight notes acting as eyes and two beamed Eighth notes on the sides of the mouth.
"Sugoi." Takeru smiled, holding the Eyecon. "Huh...06?" he blinked.
"Seems that they don't show up in numerical order," Whisper noted.
"Does anyone have a pen and a piece of paper?" Jinmenken asked as he took the other metronome, "I have something important to write."
"No...I don't have any, Takeru-san?" Cyber asked.
Takeru reached into his kimono before he pulled out a notebook and a pen at the same time. Making most of them blink at how he fit that inside his kimono.
"This is all I have."
"It's fine," Jinmenken assured as he was given the items.
"What else do you hide in here?" Yurusen asked, peeking inside Takeru's Kimono.
Jinmenken placed the metronome on a doorstep and rang the bell. He quickly ran off, hiding behind the fence and peeked out with Takeru and Cyber. The door opened to reveal a teenager girl. Looking around, she noticed the metronome and the folded paper it had under it. She picked it up and read the note. The girl gasped with a sad smile before she ran in, closing the door.
"Was that her?" Cyber asked.
"Yeah...That was my daughter," Jinmenken nodded.
"At least you were able to give her this final gift." Takeru smiled. "Now you can have no regrets in your life as a Yokai."
Jinmenken nodded, his body giving a soft glow before the glow collected above him into a Yokai Medal of him. Cyber caught the medal and put it into her Dai-Jinten's second page.
"Ah what a great day, we got both a new Yokai friend and a new Eyecon!" Whisper stated happily, "And we helped our new friend with his final mission."
"Why do men use mission? You're not spies or anything." Yurusen complained.
"It's a guy thing," the three males replied before Jinmenken shuddered.
"Speaking of guy things, I need to do something. Toodles!" Jinmenken called as he ran off.
"Later." Takeru waved as he jumped down from the fence along with Cyber. "Still it was a good night. Ah! Onari!" he remembered.
"Takeru-Dono!-!" Onari cried out as he was in the middle of the park, "Where have you gone?!"
"Ahhh...A good thing about being a dog is that you can go anywhere you want," Jinmenken sighed in relief as he relieved himself on a light post.
Sirens went off as a police car approached. Two officers stepped out and looked at him. Minutes later, Jinmenken was freaking out as the two officers threw him into the back of the patrol car.
"Wait! Wait! I'm a dog! I'm a dog!" Jinmenken freaked before the car drove off to the station, "CHIKUSHO!-!-!"
"Did you hear something?" Takeru asked Cyber as the two were sitting on his bike.
"I think so? Not sure," Cyber replied as the police car went by a few streets down.
"Oh well...let's go get Onari and then some breakfast. I'm starving." Takeru replied as he put on his helmet and handed Cyber her helmet.
"Hai," Cyber nodded as she put her own helmet on.
"Well at least we got an Eyecon out of this." Yurusen said as they took off down the road.
"And we have an interesting new Yokai friend," Whisper agreed, "Though...did we ever figure out if his bite could make others a Jinmenken?"
"I don't think anyone wants to test that one, Soft Serve head." Yurusen countered as they flew after the bike.
GT: Well, that was fun!
Z0: Indeed, that was a fun chapter, we brought in Beethoven earlier but we got a plan for that. Anywho, this chapter wrapped up just a little sooner then we kind of expected, so to make up for that, we got something special for you readers.
GT: Aye!
Z0: Exactly extra content, enjoy folks.
My name is Cyber Chichigamisama Miko. I...never had a friend in my life until I met Whisper-san and Takeru-kun. On that day, I was given an amazing device to see another world called the Yokai Watch whie Takeru...died and became a ghost who only has 99 days to find 15 eyecons. I...I want to help him so much since he's my first friend. Though right now...I have to deal with college.
"And so using the pythagorean theorem, we substitute the 'A' and 'B' in it in order to get 'C,'" the teacher explained.
However, Cyber was somewhat listening to it. She was sweating a little while nervously tapping a foot, looking up at the clock. Once the bell rang, ending class for the morning classes, she ran off.
"Bathroom! Bathroom! Bathroom!" Cyber chanted quickly under her breath before skidding to a halt, seeing a line for the bathrooms on that floor, "Eh?!" she ran upstairs and saw another line, "Nani?!" she went down three floors and another line, "Oh, you gotta be kidding me!"
What was with the lines? Why was everybody using the bathroom..at the exact same time as Cyber no less. This was one very odd event, not that Cyber could entirely focus on it really. It was then she noticed Whisper floating at the end of the line for the girl's room.
"Whisper-san? wh-What are you doing?" Cyber asked of her loyal Yokai Butler.
"Hm...ah, I was wondering what interesting thing all these girls were waiting in line for. As this is my first time being the Butler to a young woman, I must see what I can learn about their interests and such." Whisper explained, "Though this is a peculiar line, but patience is needed criteria for a Butler after all."
"I...It's not a line for something to buy, Whisper-san. It...It's the line for the bathroom," Cyber blushed, "B...But why is everyone having to go at the same time?" she activated her Yokai Watch and began to look around, "Th...This must be a Yokai's work."
"Now don't be preposterous there is no way…" Whisper began to deny the claim Cyber made.
"Oh! There!" Cyber gasped as the light revealed a tiny greenish-blue elephant-like Yokai the size of Jibanyan in an orange robe and a flat head with button eyes.
"More~" the elephant Yokai whimpered, holding its trunk.
Yokai Morezou
Class: Goketsu-Zoku
Element: Water
Rank: C
"EHHH?!" Whisper freaked.
"Wh-Whisper-san, what kind of Yokai is that?" Cyber whimpered, finding her strength failing her.
"Eh...That...uh…" Whisper took out his YokaiPad and opened the Ukiukipedia, "Eto...Oh! Yokai Morezou!" he pointed at the elephant Yokai, "He's a rather dangerous Yokai in terms of effect. When the liquid he's trying to hold back in his trunk spills on someone, they get the uncontrollable urge to go to the bathroom!"
"E-Eh?!" Cyber gasped.
"Morezou are the cause behind the Great Bathroom Incident of '86 when all those poor people ended up with wet pants for the whole day!" Whisper informed.
"Ew…" Cyber shivered, the mere thought of something like that disturbing her to unimaginable levels.
"Remember how to handle a Yokai; we negotiate or confrontate," Whisper advised.
"H-Hai," Cyber nodded, "Morezou-chan, m-matte please."
"Can't hold it in~!" Morezou whimpered, ending up with his trunk moving and letting some of the water in it out and splashing a pair of girls that were just walking by, causing both to shudder and join the line.
"Guess he can't hold it in, either," Cyber gulped.
"What a dangerous power...I dare say even Takeru-kun would be at this Yokai's mercy." Whisper stated dramatically, "It's time for confrontation, then!"
"H-Hai!" Cyber nodded, taking out a Yokai Medal, "Yokai Medal, set on!"
=Purichii Shokan! Purichī! Orecchi, tomo-dachi! Fuku wa uchī!=
"Jibanyan!" the neko Yokai declared as he appeared.
"P-Please stop Morezou-chan, Jibanyan-kun!" Cyber pleaded.
"You got it!" Jibanyan nodded as he charged at the elephant, "Take this! Paws of Fury! Nyanyanyanyanya!"
"Zou~!" Morezou whimpered as he splashed Jibanyan by accident.
Jibanyan shivered before he joined the boy's line, "B-BATHROOM, NYA!"
"Ah! He got Jibanyan!" Whisper shouted dramatically once again.
"Yokai Medal, set on!"
=Goketsu Shokan!= an orange scroll of light came out =Gōkestu! Gōketsu! Kanzen muketsu no daishūketsu!=
"Gurerurin!" the green lizard-punk Yokai declared before glaring at Cyber, "What's da big idea?"
"H-Help, please," Cyber whimpered as she pointed at Morezou.
"Hm?" Gurerurin looked at him before growled at the elephant, "Alright then." he cracked his knuckles as he approached the elephant, "Youse stop that right now!"
"More~" another splash.
Gurerurin shuddered before he joined the boy's line, "Yo! I gotta see a guy about a horse! Get this damn line moving, dammit!"
"...Gurerurin...the leaking one…" Whisper deadpanned.
"Who else? Who else?" Cyber whimpered as she looked at her Medals, "Komasan? Iie. I don't think I could let him suffer what's happened to Jibanyan-kun and Gurerurin-san." she looked at another, depicting a Yokai with a peach-shaped head, "...No." she quickly looked at one depicting an unusual green hat, the purple rim acting as lips and two stalks ending in eyes, "Maybe this one…" she tossed the medal into the air, "Watashi wa Tomodachi! Debekoi, Wassurenbou! Yokai Medal, set on!"
=Fushigi Shokan! Fushigi! Fushigi! Bugiugi! Oretacha, ōhashagī!=
"Wassurenbou," the hat Yokai lazily said as it appeared, "You called for me?"
"P-Please help," Cyber whimpered, "I...I can't hold it in any longer…"
"Oh?" the hat looked at Morezou, "Ah... I see, I see…"
He floated over and chomped down on the elephant's head. The eyes in his stalks and Morezou's eyes flashed briefly before Morezou dropped his hands, letting a stream of steamy water start coming out of his snout.
"Gross, gross…" Cyber repeated as she backed away from it just a bit, "...Oh?" she looked down, "I...I don't have to go anymore." she looked at the lines to see the people were all confused as well, "Neither do they."
"Now that Morezou has found relief...so have the victims of the power of our Yokai adversary here." Whisper explained.
"Wassurenbou must have made him forget to hold it in," Cyber noted before a Yokai Medal depicting Morezou thinking about a toilet fell from the stream and rolled to a stop at her feet, "..."
"Ano...here." Whisper said as he pulled out a rubber glove, "Better safe than sorry."
Cyber turned green a bit as she put the glove on and picked up the Medal, "Y-Yokai Medal...get…ew..."
"Well...at least this is the worst it could get for us." Whisper shrugged.
"How many times are you going to scrub it?" Whisper asked as they entered the temple ground.
"Until I'm sure it doesn't smell like chlorine," Cyber replied, polishing Morezou's medal.
"Ah! It's horrible!" Onari shouted as he ran out.
"Onari-san?" Cyber asked, earning his attention.
"Oh! Cyber-kun, tatsukete! Takeru-dono's locked himself in his room and isn't comnig out! He's given up on finding the Eyecons!"
"Eh?!" Cyber gasped as she ran past Onari, making him spin around before falling over.
"Thank you, Cyber-kun, I leave it up to you." Onari groaned.
Cyber made it inside the temple before coming to a stop at the metal door to Takeru's office, a strangely strong aura coming from the door that seemed to repel others away.
"What is this?" Whisper pondered as Cyber knocked on the door.
"Takeru-san? Takeru-san, open the door please!" Cyber called.
"Why...it's all pointless…" Takeru's voice complained from the other side of the metal door.
"Is he right on the other side of the door?" Whisper asked mostly to himself.
"Sounds like it," Cyber replied, "Takeru-san, please! We only have...ano…" she looked at the calendar, "87 days left! We need to find more of the Eyecons!"
"I just really want to stay here in my room…" Takeru replied. "It's better in here."
"What a drastic turn, the normally cheery and kind Takeru...turned into a dark and melancholy shut in!" Whisper cried.
"Someone tell me why he's like this!" Yurusen growled as she popped in.
"Whisper-san? Any ideas?" Cyber asked in concern.
"Uh...Let's see now…" Whisper quickly looked through the Ukiukipedia until Yurusen swiped it, "Oi!"
Yurusen muttered as she swiped through everything, "Ahha! This one! The Yokai Hikikoumori." she started, pushing it in Cyber's face for her to read, "This is the stupid thing that swooped in and made our badass superhero useless!"
"A member of the Usurakage Tribe, Hikikoumori is a Yokai that is gaining more and more popularity over the recent years," Cyber read, "When it inspirits someone, they become introvert and will refuse to leave their room for almost anything."
"AH! This is all...I can't even blame someone for this!" Yurusen complained as she then took out a frying pan and slapped Whisper with it. "Ah...that felt good." she sighed.
"OI! What did I do?!" Whisper snapped.
"Mmm...Oh! We can use Meramelion's help!" Cyber suggested as she activated her Yokai Watch, "Yokai Medal, set on!"
=Izamashi Shokan! Isamashi! Mezamashi! Rasshaimashī!=
"MERAMELION!" the lion roared as he showed up.
"Meramelion-kun, please help motivate Takeru-san!" Cyber pleaded.
"MERA!" Meramelion nodded as he started roaring at the door passionately.
"Mou...dame-da…" Takeru's voice replied.
"?!" Meramelion stumbled back, a bit off-color from that.
"Ganbatte, Meramelion-kun!" Cyber cheered.
"You can do it!" Whisper added in.
"We need those Eyecons!" Yurusen shouted only for Whisper to grab the frying pan and smacking the top of her eyeball-shaped head.
"MERA!" Meramelion pumped up as he began to do sit ups and push up as he continued roaring at the door in his one-word language.
"...Just leave me be please…" Takeru's voice replied once more. "It is safe in here…"
Meramelion roared even louder and started running in place before hitting the door and running off and out of the temple entirely. The trio blinked as they watched him run off, his entire body erupting in passionate flames.
"I...I think he got a little too passionate," Cyber noted.
"Perhaps this is the wrong approach, perhaps a more...forceful method is needed." Whisper offered.
"Mmm...We need an adult," Cyber noted before taking out two Yokai Medals and summoned the only two adult Yokai she knew.
"Greetings, bono~!" Honobono greeted happily.
"Do you need anything right now, juban?" Donyorinne sighed.
"Please, can you help us get Takeru-san out of there?" Cyber asked in concern.
"Any method works for us." Yurusen replied, "Don't worry. He's in his armor so he's nigh unhurtable at the moment."
"Did you just give them permission to harm Takeru-kun!?" Whisper gawked.
"Here we go~!" Honobono beamed as his gaseous form went under the door, followed by Donyorinne's slimey form.
"You think it'll go well?" Cyber asked.
"Ah...wait..matte! AH!" Takeru's voice was heard from the other side of the door before a flat Ghost came out under the door.
"Ah! Takeru-san!" Cyber gasped as the two Yokai came out the same way.
"He's all relaxed now, bono~!" Honobono informed.
"We're off on vacation now, juban~" Donyorinne informed as they left, "Hawaii, here we come, juban~"
Cyber picked up Ghost and flicked him. A pop went off as he changed back to his normal Ghost self. Ghost walked up to the door and ended up bumping into it, his horn stabbing through it in the process. He raised his fist up and...tapped the door.
"He's still inspirited!" Whisper pointed out.
"Mmm...What do we do now?" Cyber asked.
"We need to get the Yokai out of him somehow," Whisper noted.
"Hm...think what get's Takeru fired up easily and on his own…" Yurusen muttered before she gasped, she then flew into Ghost's Ore Parka before coming back out with the Red Musashi Eyecon. "I have an idea. We try changing his form to Musashi and see if the Parka's spirit can force the yokai out."
"Hai," Cyber nodded as she tried to grab the GhostDriver, only for her hand to constantly phase through it, "...I can't touch it."
"Hmm…" Yurusen blinked before she looked at Whisper, "How stretchy are you?"
"Whis?" Whisper tilted his head.
"Just think happy thoughts." she added rubbing her little hands together with an evil laugh.
'I've got a bad feeling about this…' Cyber noted.
"Yurusen...what are you doing...AH! No that doesn't stretch like that! AH! How are you so strong for a tiny hand puppet!?" Whisper cried.
"Hand puppet?! Oh, forget the happy thoughts, then!" Yurusen snapped.
"Ah! Have mercy!" Whisper shouted.
"There! The power of turning sidekicks into tools." Yurusen said as she turned Whisper into a glove.
"How...you do these things I shall never know…" his voice came from the glove. "Like how you can summon a ghost ship!?"
"Sugoi!" Cyber awed.
"Hehe...who do you think helps Sennin make these things?" Yurusen gloated as she tossed the Whisper Glove to Cyber. "There that should allow you to physically touch a ghost like Takeru."
"Hai," Cyber nodded as she took the Musashi Eyecon and clicked it.
She put on Whisper-Glove and managed to open the GhostDriver and pulled Ore out, causing his Ore Parka to disperse. She put Musashi in and closed it before pulling and pushing the lever.
=KAIGAN: MUSASHI! Ketto! Zubatto! Cho-Kengo!=
With that, a red flash occurred as the red parka of Musashi floated out from the Driver. It looked at Ghost, his eyes seeming to angle into a glare. He raised his sword-like hand up before twisting it and smacking the flat side against Ghost's head, knocking him down to the ground.
"Wrong, Takeru!" the Parka spoke, making everyone blink, "To allow your will be so easily subsided. You're lucky to have such grand nakama! Do not let your will be controlled by others!" Musashi shouted at Ghost loudly, the fact he could talk still surprising everyone.
"He sounds mad," Cyber noted, hiding behind Whisper.
"Stand Takeru!" Musashi ordered as Ghost stood up his posture perfect like a soilder. "And you, Yokai, exit him at once!"
"H-Hai!"
A purple aura covered Ghost before moving away from him, solidifying into a small, Jibanyan-sized Yokai. It looked like a bat, but its wings were blue with star patterns on it.
Yokai Hikikoumori
Class: Usurakage-Zoku
Element: Wind
Rank: D
"G-Gomen nassai!" Hikikoumori apologized, "It...It's just scary out here that I need to hide!"
"That is no excuse! If you wish to live your life indoors, then I shall not judge your for it. I myself in my last years spent them in isolation." Musashi spoke, pointing his sword at Hikikoumori. "However!" he shouted, making everyone shake, "You had no right to do so to Takeru. This young warrior has a short time to gain his life back, you can not just interfere in the lives of others, understood!"
"G-Gomen nassai…" Hikikoumori sniffled.
"Oh…" Cyber hugged the sniffling Yokai, "There, there. mmm...Oh! Maybe you can stay in my closet?"
"Hm?" Hikikoumori looked up at her.
"I don't really use it aside from keeping my shirts in it, and it's nice and quiet in my room for the majority of the day," Cyber offered.
"Y...You'd let me stay with you?" Hikikoumori asked, it's large eyes watering up.
"Uh-huh," Cyber smiled.
"Yosh," Musashi nodded his hood, which acted as his head, "Just remember that you cannot force your ways upon others." he added in a more calm tone, "Sometimes, solitude is good, but not for everyone." he added as he crossed his arms.
"I...I'll remember," Hikikoumori nodded before holding up a Yokai Medal, revealing his wings were just some sort of material he slid his arms through, "My rent."
"Arigatou, Hikikoumori-kun," Cyber giggled as she put the Medal into the Dai-Jinten.
"Oi! Did you know that the Parkas could talk?" Whisper asked Yurusen.
"No…." she said, looking away from everyone.
"Takeru, I look forward to how strong you become in the future," Musashi spoke to Ghost, who turned back to Takeru, "Till that day." he nodded as he flew back into the Eyecon.
"Daijoubu, Takeru-san?" Cyber asked as Hikikoumori relocated to hide in her backpack for now.
"Ah...I'm feeling better now. I was really surprised Musashi could talk, though…" He admitted as he held up his Eyecon.
"Hai, hai!" Cyber nodded.
"And Yurusen didn't know~!" Whisper grinned, "Oh, payback is so much fun, whis~! You don't know everything about them now!"
"Yurusen Justice!" she shouted, dressed in a mini-version of the Musashi Parka with two swords in each hand.
"GAH!" Whisper freaked as the two flew around above them, "TATSUKETE! TATSUKETE!"
"I don't know how to help with that.." Takeru admitted as he held the Eyecon tightly in his hand. "Still...thanks Cyber-san...I don't know how I would have gotten that Yokai to leave me, I'm lucky to have you around."
"I...It was no problem," Cyber blushed at the praise, "Ano...How did you end up being inspirited by Hikikoumori-kun, Takeru-san?"
"Well...I was trying some of my tricks as Ghost. It's what I do when I have nothing to do, and while I was floating through the attic, I think I bumped into him...and from there, he accidently possessed me since I was intangible at the moment." he explained. "It's a bit embarrassing to admit it happened 'cause I was playing with my powers...but it's what happened after all." he chuckled scratching the back of his head.
"You were playing…?" Yurusen asked ominously as Whisper collapsed on the floor, sliced up into cubes.
"Hey, being able to fly is cool for me. For you, it's nothing since you have no legs." he pointed out.
"YURUSEN JUSTICE!" Yurusen screeched as she now chased after Takeru.
"Stop it, Yurusen!" Takeru complained as he summoned his Gan Gun Saber and used it to block her tiny swords.
"Ano...I'd like to stay around to help, but I have to help Hikikoumori-kun move in!" Cyber informed as Whisper began to try to fix himself back together, "Gomen nassai!"
"Wait...for me…" Whisper gasped as he tried to follow after Cyber, only for a sword to land in front of him making him stop.
"No Escape!" Yurusen shouted.
"AH! TATSUKETE!" Whisper freaked as he managed to throw his pieces into Takeru's kimono.
"Oi!" Takeru exclaimed as Yurusen gave chase.
"YURUSEN JUSTICE, HIYA!"
"Run, Takeru-kun!" Whisper ordered.
"How am I getting chased out of my own house?!" Takeru complained.
GT: Oh, poor Takeru-san. Whisper should not have made Yurusen that mad.
Z0: Yeah...but that's kind of hard. I mean about the one thing that doesn't make her mad are Eyecons.
GT: True. I still can't believe she has a little mini-Musashi outfit. That's so cute.
Z0: Well she is Ghost's mascot cute is what she's meant for. Anywho, that brings an end to this chapter folks it was fun to work on and bring for your entertainment.
GT: Hope you all liked it enough to give us more reviews! I thrive on them like Jibanyan does chocobo!
Z0: And the more we get the more pumped we are to bring out new chapters, so you know just get more people to review and you'll get more good stuff. Just be sure to make them real reviews tell us what you like, what you might not have liked, and your general opinion.
GT: And any questions, too! We love answering them! Though I will ignore any that ask about other stories. Ask that in those stories, not this.
Z0: It's only fair readers. Anyway let's get a look to the next chapter*drops screen down*
Yurusen: Jikai Kamen Rider Ghost: Yokai Chronicles!
Sennin: The next eyecon will be the legendary archer of sherwood forest!
Cyber: Robin Hood?
Takeru: Mystery thief...Little John?
Whisper: A YO-MPH!
Cyber: Mou...Takeru-kun~
Ghost Driver: Hello~Arrow! Mori de aou!
Takeru: This is a strange case…
Onari: NANI?! I...I-I-I-I can see them now!
Spirit 5: Bullseye! Archer of Justice!
Z0: Next chapter, we get the Lincoln Green clad archer of the Sherwood forest Robin Hood!
Deadpool: Good old Oliver Queen...heheh DC can suck Marvel's dick!
GT: ...You know that Hawkeye killed Green Arrow, Wade. And we're talking about Robin Hood, not Green Arrow.
Z0: I get the feeling this will take a bit. *grabs bow and arrow before shooting Deadpool shooting him out the window* and now the problem is solved.
GT: Good.
Z0: Yup so next time the Eyecon will be one of the more questionably real historical figures. But is still an awesome figure for an Eyecon in my opinion.
GT: Aye.
Z0: Well folks that's all for this chapter, we'd bring more wackiness, but we'll save it for next chapter.
GT: You got that right! Until then, I'm GammaTron!
Z0: And I'm Kamen rider ZER0, buh-bye!
