Yo-kai Watch Adventures
Chapter six: The Yo-kai – an unexpected chain quest
Kira walked down to the first floor of her grandmother's house, where she lived after she moved from Japan to the States, only to be sent back to live in Springdale for a number of reasons. Upon reaching the first floor and heading into the kitchen, Kira saw that her three closest yo-kai friends, Venoct, Shadow Venoct and Illuminoct, were already in the kitchen/dining room area.
"Good morning," Kira greeted the Venoct brothers with a slight wave of her hand as she let out a mild yawn.
"What do you mean?" Illuminoct asked with a hint of mild questioning in his tone, "Do you mean to wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not, or that you feel good this morning, or that it is a morning to be good on?"
Giving Illuminoct a mildly grumpy glare, Kira said, "It's too early in the morning for that, Illuminoct. I haven't even had my morning coffee yet."
"Well then, it's a good thing that I took the liberty of turning on the coffee pot for you and your grandmother," Venoct remarked as he jerked a thumb over his shoulder to point out the coffee machine on the counter in the kitchen; the coffee pot was full of freshly-brewed coffee.
"You are a lifesaver, Venoct," Kira said in a tone of thanks as she walked over to the coffee machine so she could get her morning coffee. As Kira did this, her grandmother, Sophia, came walking down from the second floor. Fair-skinned and wearing a pair of circular glasses, Sophia had straight dark-colored hair in a hime-style cut, and she wore a set of sleepwear that consisted of a long-sleeved sleep shirt that was a pale light lavender in color plus pale light pink trim, and matching women's sleep pants. The fact that her face was only barely marred by wrinkles was a sign that, at most, Sophia was in her early sixties.
"Good morning, everyone," Sophia greeted as she walked into the kitchen; although far more common among those of High School age and younger, there are some adult humans in the areas of Springdale, Harrisville and San Fantastico who, due to the Phenomena that took place roughly two years previous, can now see and hear yo-kai as well as they can see other humans. Kira's grandma Sophia is one such adult human.
"Good morning, Grandma Sophia," Kira greeted as she sat at the table with a mug of coffee. Kira takes her coffee with just a little bit of sugar; the thirteen-year-old girl generally does not like to add any sort of creamer.
"Good morning, ma'am," Venoct greeted with a slightly raised hand, a gesture that his brothers copied as they themselves greeted their human friend's grandmother.
With a slight chuckle, Sophia said, "You know everyone, when my husband was killed in that traffic accident in Downtown Springdale a few years ago, I was not only devastated, but I thought that I'd be living the rest of my life by myself. But then Kira's parents were kind enough to send her back here to Japan." Gesturing to the Venoct brothers, Sophia continued, "And then that business concerning yo-kai occurred, allowing for you three boys to come in." To Kira and the Venoct brothers as a whole, Sophia said, "Thank you. I really like having a full house like this to look after."
"Well you are most certainly welcome," Shadow Venoct replied, touched by how much someone appreciates his company.
"Yeah, Grandma Sophia," Kira remarked, "You know that the Venoct brothers and I always have your back."
"Well that is certainly nice to hear, dear," Sophia replied, "Anywho, I bet you guys must be hungry. I'm planning on making waffles for breakfast, so how many do each of you want?"
"I was actually planning on just having this coffee," Kira said, "But thanks."
"Your waffles are pretty good, ma'am," Venoct remarked, "I'd like to have two if that's okay with you."
"Put me down for two waffles as well, please," Shadow Venoct asked.
"Just tea, thank you," Illuminoct said, a hint of mild merriment in his tone.
With an amused giggle, Sophia said, "Well alright, boys. I'll get started right away." Sophia proceeded to walk right over to the cabinet in the kitchen to get out some of the ingredients to make waffles. However, about halfway to the cabinet, there was a knock at the front door.
"I'll get that," Shadow Venoct said as he got up and went over to the front door. Upon opening it, Shadow Venoct was surprised (in a mildly unpleasant way) to see that Sergeant Burly was standing at the front door.
"Ten-four, private!" Sergeant Burly greeted with a salute, "Is Kira in?"
"Nope!" Shadow Venoct replied instantly before closing the door in Sergeant Burly's face. A few seconds later, Kira opened the door somewhat quickly, as if she was hoping to catch the visitor before he left.
"Sorry about that, Sergeant Burly," Kira said in an apologetic tone. With a mildly curious look on her face, Kira continued, "Say, it's kind of weird that you'd visit me. What's up?"
"Some fellow by the name of Arachnus wants to talk to you," Sergeant Burly explained, "You see, when I was hanging out at-" Sergeant Burly was cut off when Venoct came rushing up to where Sergeant Burly was talking with Kira.
"What did you say about Arachnus?" Venoct asked, his tone a mix of demanding and shocked.
"Umm, I was about to say that I was hanging out at a club for yo-kai in the yo-kai world, and I was telling them about the job that I help Kira, you and your brothers with," Sergeant Burly said to Venoct, "When I mentioned you by name, that Arachnus fellow must have overheard me, because he came up and started asking about you."
"Well of course he'd ask about me," Venoct replied, "He was my leader up until the Phenomena roughly two years ago. As it still stands, he's a good friend of mine."
"He said that he also considered you a good friend, Private," Sergeant Burly said, "But that's beside the point. Arachnus asked me how I knew you guys, so I told him how I helped you guys out, along with the fact that I gave my yo-kai medal to Kira. Upon hearing that I was friends with Kira, he handed me this and asked me to deliver it."
Sergeant Burly pulled out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Kira. Unfolding it, Kira read what was written on the note;
To the human known as Kira,
I have been made aware of the fact that my right-hand man Venoct, as well as his brothers, gave you their yo-kai medals. That being said, meet me at the location enclosed in this letter, and bring Venoct and his brothers along as well. There are pressing matters that concern me right now, and I have reason to believe that you, Venoct and his brothers will be of great assistance to me in this regard.
~Arachnus
After checking the location that was enclosed, Kira said, "Huh. So, something is going on, and this Arachnus guy wants to talk to the Venoct brothers and I about it?"
"I suppose so, Private," Sergeant Burly remarked.
"Kira, I say that we go," Venoct said instantly, the hint of eagerness in his tone indicating that he felt as if the meeting with Arachnus was very important.
"Well alright," Kira remarked, "Let me wake up a bit more and get dressed to go out, then we'll go meet with this Arachnus fellow you seem so keen on meeting with."
…
Later, as Kira and the Venoct brothers were on their way to the meeting with Arachnus, Kira asked, "Hey guys, you all know this Arachnus fellow, right? What's he like?"
"He's a serious and down-to-earth individual," Venoct replied, "But a good and just leader. He's the head of the Bony Spirits army."
"Bony Spirits army?" Kira said in a mildly confused tone, showing that she was going to need to be filled in on a few facts.
"There are two armies of yo-kai who are rivals with each other," Shadow Venoct explained, "The Bony spirits and the Fleshy Souls. Arachnus leads the Bony Spirits, whereas his rival Toadal Dude leads the Fleshy Souls."
"So, I take it that you guys are all on the Bony Spirits side?" Kira asked.
Nodding in the affirmative, Shadow Venoct said, "That's right, Kira. As a side note, Kyubi and his brothers are all on the Fleshy Souls side. In fact, Kyubi served Toadal Dude in the same capacity that Venoct served Arachnus."
"He's right about that, Kira," a familiar male voice called out from behind Kira and the Venoct brothers, making them turn to see Atticus and the Kyubi brothers come walking up. It had been Atticus who called out. After reaching Kira's group, Atticus said, "I assume that you have received summons to the meeting between the Fleshy Souls and the Bony Spirits as well, Kira?" Atticus asked.
"You four got summons as well?" Kira asked. At that prompting, Atticus took out a small folded note and held it up.
"When she was hanging out in the yo-kai world," Atticus said, "Foiletta told some other yo-kai about how the Kyubi brothers and I helped her, and how she gave me her yo-kai medal. When she did this, she said that a yo-kai who identified himself as Toadal Dude overheard her mention Kyubi by name. After Toadal Dude asked her how she knew Kyubi, Foiletta explained her story to him, including how I have her yo-kai medal. After hearing that, Toadal Dude gave her this and asked her to deliver it to me."
After Kira asked to see the note, Atticus handed it over. Unfolding the note, Kira read what Toadal Dude had written;
Yo, Atticus dude,
I heard that you're totally chilling with my good bud Kyubi now, along with his bros. That being the case, I'm going to have to ask that the lot of you all swing by the enclosed location. There's some stuff going down that's totally sick, and not necessarily in the cool sense. I'm gonna need Kyubi and his bros to back me up on this, and since you're chilling with them now, you should totally come by as well.
~Toadal Dude
"…He has a far more casual speech pattern that Arachnus," Kira remarked as she handed the note back to Atticus.
"Casual speech pattern or no, Toadal Dude is still the leader of the Fleshy Souls army, so we should afford him our respect," Atticus replied as he took the note he got back and slipped in into a pocket on the back of his pants, "The same should apply to Arachnus as well, due to his status as the leader of the Bony Spirits."
After considering what Atticus said for a few seconds, Kira nodded in agreement with what her male counterpart said. "You got me there, Atticus," Kira said, "So anyway, since it looks like lot of us are all heading to the same place, why don't we-"
"Hey Kira! Atticus!" a young male voice called out, getting the attention of the two humans and six yo-kai. Turning around, everyone saw Nate, Katie, Eddie and Bear come walking up. It had been Nate who had called out.
"What's up, little dudes?" Kira asked.
"We were actually on our way to the arcade," Eddie explained, "We all ran into you guys on the way, so we figured we'd say hi and ask how you're doing."
"We're all on our way to a meeting between the respective leaders of two armies of yo-kai," Kira explained, "I was summoned by one while Atticus was summoned by the other."
"The yo-kai armies have leaders?" Nate said in a mildly confused tone, "There are yo-kai armies?"
Nodding in the affirmative, Kyubi said, "The two armies have been at odds with each other for quite some time, but have recently put any hostilities to rest. From what Foiletta told said upon giving the summons from Toadal Dude to Atticus, the two armies are concerned about the activity of some yo-kai of notoriety, and are trying to gather strength in order to combat what the yo-kai in question may be up to."
"Sounds like a great chance to learn a lot about yo-kai politics," Katie remarked in a tone of piqued interest, "I kind of want to come and see this meeting for myself."
"Arachnus tends to want to keep meetings between only those who are invited," Venoct pointed out, "But he has no problem with educating youth about the history and politics of yo-kai. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind it too terribly if you four kids came to sit in, assuming of course you four keep quiet."
"Toadal Dude is far less uptight than Arachnus, so he'd be far more willing to let you kids sit in on the meeting," Kyubi remarked, "Just try to remember to behave yourselves, okay? This is going to be a meeting between the leaders of the Fleshy Souls and the Bony Spirits, after all."
Nodding in understanding, Katie replied, "Sounds fair."
"Well alright kids, what are we waiting for?" Kira said. Continuing on her way to where she had been asked to go, Kira said as she gestured for everyone else to follow her, "Come on, everyone! We got a meeting to head to!"
After a bit of time travel thanks to Miradox, the party had arrived in Springdale in the past. "Now all we have to do is make our way in the direction where we'd normally find the entrance to the Infinite Inferno, and bada-bing bada-boom, we'll reach Flatpot Plains," Kira remarked.
"Did we really just time travel?" Bear asked, looking mildly excited.
"Yeah, and about that," Atticus said, "You four are going to have to keep this to yourselves. Also, I'm going to have to ask you all to be very careful with what you all do while you're here in the past."
"Of course," Nate replied in an understanding tone, "I'm familiar with enough fiction concerning time travel to know better than to mess around."
"Well alright, kiddies," Kira remarked to the group, "If'n you four will be so kind as to follow me, Atticus and the yo-kai, we'll head over to where the meeting is going down."
"This is really exciting," Eddie remarked, "We've not only time traveled, but we're going to get to meet very renowned yo-kai!"
After a fair bit of travel on foot, the entire group had reached Flatpot Plains. "This area is more or less divided up into two sides," Venoct said to the kids, "The one we arrived on is the Fleshy Souls side, but the meeting location is on the Bony Spirits side.
"Well that sounds-" Katie began, but she was cut off when someone called out to the group.
"Hey Kira! Atticus! Over here!" a male voice called out, getting everyone to turn around and face who was walking up. They all saw that it was a pair of boys about the same age as Nate, Katie, Eddie and Bear.
The first boy had slightly tanned skin and brown hair that was styled similar to Nate's for some odd reason. The first boy also wore a white men's tank top, tan shorts, a pair of geta sandals, a blue cape for some other odd reason, and a necklace that had a small pouch on it. The second boy of the group had fairer skin, light brown hair, a beige shirt, blue shorts, and a pair of white shoes. It had been the first boy that had called out.
"I take it Arachnus and Toadal Dude call you guys in as well?" the first boy asked as he gestured to the two older kids.
"Well that's a given, since they're both here," the second boy said to the first, "Although I am curious as to why these other four kids are here as well."
"Oh, umm, well this is kind of weird," Kira said as she rubbed the back of her head in an embarrassed manner, "I wasn't expecting either of you two to be showing up."
"Hey Kira, who are they?" Nate asked in a curious tone as he pointed to the two boys, "Do you and Atticus know them?"
"Yeah, they seem awfully familiar with you guys," Katie remarked.
"Well, we might as well explain a few things," Atticus said, his tone suggesting that he saw what had to happen. Pointing to the first boy, Atticus said, "That's Nathaniel Adams, who is Nate's grandfather." Pointing to the second boy, Atticus continued, "That's Kenny Forester, who is Katie's grandfather." Shrugging indifferently, Atticus said, "There. We got that messy business out of the way."
"You brought me and Kenny's respective grandkids with you from the future?" Nathaniel said in a questioning tone, "Kenny and I both have grandkids in the future?!"
"Like I said, I wasn't expecting you two to be showing up," Kira replied to Nathaniel and Kenny.
Noticing the looks of shock on the respective faces of Nate and Katie, Atticus said, "Are you two going to be alright?"
"This…" Nate said sounding like he was at something at a loss for words, "…This is a lot to take in. I mean, I'm meeting my grandfather back when he was a kid."
With something of a self-amused grin, Nathaniel said as he jerked a thumb at himself, "So what do you think, sonny? You're grandpa's pretty cool, huh?"
"I'd prefer a red cape as opposed to a blue one, but other than that, this is pretty awesome how I'm actually getting to meet you back when you were a kid," Nate replied.
"Ha!" Nathaniel laughed in an amused manner, "We all have our own tastes in color I suppose!"
"Oh, what do you think about me, Katie?" Kenny asked.
"I can certainly see why my mom always said that you and I have similar faces," Katie remarked to her grandfather.
"Ha-ha!" Nathaniel laughed in a mocking manner while he pointed at Kenny, "You have a girl face, Kenny!"
"Oh, shut up," Kenny replied in a mock annoyed tone as he gave Nathaniel a playful shove.
"Well boys, I don't think we should be keeping Toadal Dude and Arachnus waiting," Atticus said, "Why don't we head on over to the meeting already?" Nathaniel and Kenny both nodded in agreement, and they plus everyone else proceeded to follow Kira and Atticus to the meeting.
After a brisk walk, everyone arrived at the Bony Spirits side of Flatpot Plains. Upon arriving, the humans and yo-kai all saw a fairly large circular table situated near where Arachnus had his base set up. Arachnus, along with a yo-kai who looked exactly like him save for having a different color scheme, was seated on one side of the table, a pair of Firewigs standing at guard behind the two yo-kai. Opposite of Arachnus and his differently colored fellow was Toadal Dude and a yo-kai who looked exactly like Toadal Dude save for a different color scheme. A pair of Frazzels stood at guard behind Toadal Dude and his fellow.
"Ah, it is good to see you once again, Venoct," Arachnus greeted, "Can I assume one of the human girls you brought along is that Kira girl who was mentioned to me?"
"That would be her," Venoct replied as he pointed to Kira.
"Hey Kyubi, which one of the dudes that came here with you is that Atticus dude who I was told is chilling with you?" Toadal Dude asked.
"I'm right here," Atticus said as he raised a hand.
"Seeing as how what we're here to discuss concerns both humans and yo-kai, it's a good thing that you and your fellow humans came along," Arachnus said to Kira and Atticus, "I am also glad that you got Nathaniel and Kenny to come, as they have both done much for yo-kai."
"Wait a minute," Bear said, "This yo-kai business has been going on for this long? I thought it only started up two years ago from the time my friends and I came from!"
A confused look on his face, Kenny asked, "What are you talking about?"
"You and Nathaniel are going to have to be filled in on that after the meeting," Atticus said, "For now, we have to get down to business."
"Kyubi's human friend raises a point," Toadal Dude's similar looking fellow remarked.
"Say, who are you?" Kira asked, "Sorry, but I'm curious."
"This is my cousin Uber Geeko," Toadal Dude explained as he gestured to his fellow. Gesturing to Arachnus's fellow, Toadal Dude said, "And that is Arachnia, who is Arachnus's cousin."
"We can break the ice up some more later," Arachnus remarked, "For now, we need to get the meeting underway." Gesturing to Venoct, Arachnus said, "Come, Venoct. You and your brothers should sit with Arachnia and I."
"You three should come sit with me and Uber Geeko," Toadal Dude said as he gestured to Kyubi, Frostail and Darkyubi.
"Sounds like a plan," Kyubi remarked as he and his brothers went over to join Toadal Dude and Uber Geeko at the meeting table.
"Come on, you guys," Venoct said as he gestured for Shadow Venoct and Illuminoct to follow him over to where Arachnus and Arachnia sat at the meeting table.
Eventually, after a few formalities were taken care of, the meeting between the Fleshy Souls and the Bony Spirits was well under way. "Now then," Arachnia said, "I suppose everyone here is interested in hearing why my cousin, not to mention his associate Toadal Dude, called for this here meeting."
"This isn't a disciplinary hearing because Illuminoct messed something up again, is it?" Venoct asked as he raised a hand.
"I sincerely wish that were the case, my friend," Arachnus remarked in a mildly resigned tone, "It would be loads less troublesome."
"What happened, might I ask?" Frostail said as he raised a hand.
"Tell me, humans," Arachnus said as he turned to face the humans but specifically regarding Kira, Atticus, Nathaniel and Kenny, "Are any of you familiar with SV Snaggerjag?"
"Dude!" Kira exclaimed suddenly, getting the attention of Arachnus, Arachnia, Toadal Dude and Uber Geeko, "Atticus, Venoct and Kyubi just dealt with that jerk a few days back in the time we came from!"
"Seriously?" Toadal Dude said in a tone of piqued interest as he arched one of his eyebrows.
Nodding in the affirmative, Atticus said, "Two S-rank yo-kai were trying to drive SV Snaggerjag out of Catfish Pond up on Mount Wildwood. Kira, Kyubi, Venoct and I helped the two S-rank yo-kai drive SV Snaggerjag away. In fact, I got the yo-kai medal from one while Kira goth the yo-kai medal from the other."
"Yeah," Kira said as she nodded once, "I befriended Swelterrier, and Atticus befriended Hornaplenty."
"Before he left," Atticus continued, "SV Snaggerjag managed to recover some sort of totem carved from wood out of Catfish Pond. I've been meaning to look into the matter some more." To the two yo-kai generals, Atticus said, "Does this have to do with the meeting here?"
"Indeed, it does," Arachnus replied, "That totem is said to give one influence over the yo-kai who inhabit the various realms of the yo-kai world. That means Hungry Pass, Liar Mountain and Hooligan Road. Each of those three realms have large populations of yo-kai on their own. But if the yo-kai of all three of those realms are united under a single banner…"
"Some seriously bad crud will go down, dudes," Toadal Dude said, finishing Arachnus's sentence for him.
Gesturing to Toadal Dude, Arachnus said, "What he said."
"Is that why SV Snaggerjag was looking for that totem?" Kira said in a mildly confused tone, "He was control over the yo-kai who live in the three realms of the yo-kai world?" With a shrug, Kira said, "I was sort of under the impression that SV Snaggerjag was looking for that totem because he wanted to give it to someone."
"That is a possibility," Arachnia said, a look of deep consideration on his face as he sat at his cousin's side.
"I have to agree with that," Illuminoct said to the other yo-kai at the meeting, "SV Snaggerjag owes allegiance to no one. But if he should side with the enemy, a boss yo-kai could be used to terrible effect. This could spell trouble for the humans, not to mention the yo-kai, Bonies and Fleshies alike."
"Dude, what enemy are you talking about?" Toadal Dude asked.
"Illuminoct," Arachnus began in a mildly annoyed tone, "I highly doubt that this could break things up between the Bonies and Fleshies. For four months, the Bonies and Fleshies have been at peace."
"Are we?" Illuminoct said, "Are we at peace? Boys have come down from the mountains. They are raiding villages, destroying farms."
"That's hardly a prelude to war," Arachnus replied with a dismissive wave of his right hand.
Over where the humans were watching the meeting, Bear leaned to his side so that he could whisper to Nate and Eddie. "Hey guys, did we come down from the mountains?" Bear asked.
"No, Bear," Nate replied in a tone that sounded mildly strained due to annoyance, "Illuminoct is just being weird again."
Later after the meeting between the Bonies and Fleshies resolved, Kira and Atticus talked with the heads of the two yo-kai armies. "The matter concerning SV Snaggerjag and that totem is of pressing concern," Arachnus began, "Kira and Atticus, can the Bonies and Fleshies count on you two to stand by our side? To help us in our efforts to stop whatever insane plan SV Snaggerjag has cooked up?"
"You can count on us, Arachnus," Kira replied, "Well, I can technically only speak for myself, but I'm certain that Atticus would be willing to pitch in as well."
"Of course," Atticus said as he crossed his arms.
Smiling, Arachnus said, "It's comforting to know that, in the upcoming times, that humans and yo-kai will be working side by side." Walking up to Kira, Arachnus said, "Venoct, Shadow Venoct and Illuminoct have all seen fit to bestow their respective yo-kai medals to you. Seeing that they all obviously have faith in you, I figure that I should have faith in you as well. This is for you." Arachnus then held his hand out, to which Kira held her hand out as well. Arachnus then dropped his yo-kai medal into Kira's hand.
"Thanks," Kira said.
"If my cousin trusts you, then I'll trust you as well," Arachnia added as he walked up to Kira and handed her his yo-kai medal himself. As the two important Bony Spirits yo-kai gifted their yo-kai medals to Kira, Toadal Dude and Uber Geeko did the same with Atticus, with Toadal Dude saying that anyone who's a friend of the Kyubi brothers is a friend of his.
"I hope that you'll be around when we make our move against SV Snaggerjag," Arachnus said to the two thirteen-year-old humans, "We're going to need all the allies we can get our hands on."
"Well luckily for the Bonies, I got more yo-kai friends to pitch in," Kira remarked.
"The Fleshies can count on my support," Atticus said.
"Well that's great to hear, man," Toadal Dude said with something of a laugh, "It looks like things are going to Hey what a minute, where did Nathaniel, Kenny and those four other kids wander off to?"
"Nathaniel and Kenny took Nate, Katie, Eddie and Bear to check something out in the Harrisville of this time," Venoct explained "They'll have to take the train, though."
"Are you serious?" Atticus asked, a mildly annoyed look on his face.
Nodding once in the affirmative, Venoct said, "They're taking the humans to Harrisville."
Leaning to his side, Illuminoct whispered to Shadow Venoct, "That line sounds like it can be mixed into a catchy song."
"Illuminoct, shut up," Shadow Venoct whispered back in a mildly annoyed tone.
…
After Kira, Atticus and their respective trios of primary yo-kai friends all arrived in the Harrisville of this time. When they got there, they saw that the six kids were all over at the school. Apparently, Nathaniel, Kenny, Nate, Katie, Bear and Eddie were facing off against six other kids in soccer.
"Heh," Kira laughed, "Well ain't that cute. Nate and Katie are playing with their respective grandpas. They even got Bear and Eddie playing along."
"This makes it all the more tragic that Kenny didn't get to live to see Katie being born," Atticus remarked, his tone mildly somber.
"Oh yeah," Kira said, her tone matching the one Atticus was currently using, "The same applies to Nathaniel not living to see Nate being born." Turning to face Atticus, Kira asked, "Do you know how Kenny died?"
"He had a fatal asthma attack," Atticus replied in as matter-of-factly of a tone as he could manage at the moment, "Which, oddly enough, is the same way Foiletta died back before she became a yo-kai. I had been told that Kenny had something of a habit of forgetting to carry an inhaler on hand at all times." Turing to face Kira, Atticus asked, "I don't suppose you know how Nate's grandpa died, do you?"
Nodding once in the affirmative, Kira said, "Nate's grandpa was hit by a car that he didn't see coming. But then again, I was told that Nate's grandpa had a tendency to forget to look both ways before crossing the street."
"Hey Kira, Kyubi brothers, Venoct brothers," Atticus said, getting everyone to turn their attention over to where the kids were all playing soccer. Gesturing to the scene, Atticus said, "You think we should let them have a bit more time?"
A knowing smile on her lips, Kira said, "Yeah, Atticus. I think that sounds nice." As with Kira, the six yo-kai all agreed to give Nathaniel and Kenny time to play with their respective grandkids and the two extra kids that said grandkids brought with them. Right during sunset, Kenny scored the winning goal. When their team had won the game, Nate, Katie, Eddie, Bear, Nathaniel and Kenny all jumped up and down as they cheered.
END, YO-KAI WATCH ADVENTURES CHAPTER SIX
Author's notes:
I'm kind of hesitant about putting this chapter out (even with the disclaimer at the top), mostly because it parodies bits from a popular movie series. But still, I would like to think that this was a good chapter; this is also the first chapter that I intentionally wrote without any combat scenes, as I wanted to focus more on storytelling, as well as (hopefully) provide a few laughs. I hope that I accomplished that with this chapter.
