"The yo-kai watch can summon up to 3 at a time." Nate answered.
"Perfect we can each summon 3 then find Mirapo again" said Cassandra.
"Actually we only need to summon 2 per watch because Whisper and Komasan count, so Nate can also try to summon Mirapo." Katie suggested.
Nate was not so certain it would work or if Mirapo could be trusted.
"I'll go first!" Cassandra said in her usually perky voice. "Summoning Spenp!" she laughed putting in the coin. The little song played then the watch declared 'summoning Spenp!'
"Hi" said the green clam shell yo-kai.
"Spenp- this is my team, we're about to go on a mission to the yo-kai world. I need you to team with, um.." (not Ezekiel the professional thief) -Eve!", Cassandra declared after an awkward pause.
"Well hello darlin' I'm Spenp please to meet ya!"it said.
"Cassandra?" Eve needed a little more info.
"Spenp makes people spend money, (and might have other powers I'm not aware of) that shouldn't be an issue. Just trust me he's a sweetie." Cassandra gave the floating giant shell a hug.
"Why can't I have Spenp I never spend actual money." Ezekiel groaned it was technically true; he was only complaining because he knew he was going to get the worst yo-kai partner.
"You would be a bad influence." Cassandra said cutely."Ezekiel you can team with...actually can I give my 2nd yo-kai to Katie and you select one for Ezekiel?" she asked Nate since both of her yo-kai friends were about manipulating money, something she did not trust Ezekiel with.
She summoned Almi and asked that it team with Katie. The red shell was disappointed but agreed.
"ok , um.. go Manjimutt!" said Nate.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Ezekiel was not happy that his prediction was completely correct.
"Hi there" the man-dog said in its usual dreary voice. "nice to see you again."
"Same here, mate." Ezekiel said only to be polite.
Now for Jacob Nate needed to summon another yo-kai that he could trust to appear and who would be cool with teaming with a stranger. "let's see. Oh this one will work."
"Summoning Walkappa!" Nate's watch declared.
"Yo dude long time no see; what's the deali-o?" the yo-kai was a kappa; a turtle/frog-like creature that walked on two legs with a crown of leaves but this one had a wide beak and talked like a surfer or beat poet. It was true Nate did not summon him as often as others, but he knew he was a strong, independent yo-kai who could go with the flow.
"Walkappa this is Jacob, as you can see we're forming a team to go to the yo-kai world."
"Because of the river of spirits?" the kappa asked.
"actually yes, why?" asked Jacob
"I've been observing the phenomena." Walkappa shrugged, "I like to observe, analyze; see situations from all angles."
"I think we'll get along just fine." Jacob smiled, still laughing inside about Ezekiel getting stuck with the man-dog.
And finally he had to try to summon Mirapo. Nate put in the medal and hoped for the best. "Summoning Mirapo!" declared the watch.
"Mirapo!" the round purple mirror appeared.
"That's a little creepy." Cassandra took a step back.
"I think the majority of yo-kai are pretty creepy." added Jacob. "Present company excluded" he high-fived Walkappa.
"ok, 1-1 ratio, this should work now," Nate said still uncertain.
"Let's do this!" squealed Cassandra, diving in with Komasan.
"Worth a try." Ezekiel said going though for the 2nd time as his partner followed.
"At least I don't have a creepy partner "Jacob said diving through with Walkappa.
In pairs they crossed through Mirapo landing in the yo-kai realm; it was a place in eternal night, but that meant eternal night life. Fireworks and spot lights filled the sky. "ok, now what?" asked Cassandra.
"Well, the yo-kai world is pretty much the same layout as planet earth; same cities countries ,etc." said Komasan, he would know since he had a habit of wondering to random places.
"So where would a magic mirror live on earth?" Katie asked the team.
"mirror, magic, fantasy, points, sky" Cassandra thought to herself out loud; she had her own thought process where she looked around and saw clues and equations that no one else could see.
Mirapo appeared again "Mira-po!" it shouted and moved it's googly eyes around as if to say "look around you!" The architecture, the street names, the stores directly around them; the answer was obvious.
"OMG- we're in yo-kai paris!" Katie said happily.
"let's find the Eiffel tower!" Cassandra suggested.
"ok group of freaky yo-kai" Ezekiel said addressing every summoned yo-kai,"In the yo-kai world is there a giant triangle shaped building that serves no logical purpose?" asked Ezekiel, drawing a death glare from Jacob who, as an art historian believed every building was 'art we can live in.'
"Or the Louvre, is there is a yo -ki version of the Louvre." Jacob asked."A large triangle shaped museum?"
"Or both." Nate said looking up at the sky.
2 beams of light from two points in the city, came together at a single point in the sky; the portal, from the ground it sort of looked like a purple star.
"It's pulsating." Eve observed. But the bigger question was how did yo-kai like Komasan get through a portal that was at least couple hundred feet in the sky.
"It's the main source of the portal to our realm, but it's opening other portals in different parts of the world, to invite as many different yo-kai as possible. " Cassandra said visualizing a diagram of the pattern of sub-portals, based upon the direction of entranced yo-kai appearing in the sky for a moment before being sucked through the main purple star.
