Yokai Partners
Episode 5: Bon Voyage Mysteries Part 1
A single spotlight illuminated the darkness, with Yuray in her detective uniform in the center.
"Good evening, everyone. My name is Yuray and I am detective," she greeted. "If you've been following the little story I am part of, I've solved many crime cases. However, this case, the last case of my work would be the biggest, notorious, and most mysterious case ever. I hope you all enjoy it. Thank you."
The spotlight turned off as the scene changed to the private quarters at the Police Department HQ.
Time: 9:25 AM, Location: Police HQ
Detective Yuray and her senor (and sort of inferior partner), Detective Whisper were in their boss, the Chief's quarter.
"Well done, Detective Yuray! Well done!" He praised. "For a rookie who just started almost a month ago, you solved quite a notorious case and even caught the culprit for every of them!"
"Thank you, Chief," she pleased.
"Of course, if it wasn't for my supervision, my partner here couldn't do anything on her," Whisper boasted.
"Be quite, Whis!" Chief ordered, silencing him with a bit of surprise look on his face.
"If I may humbly speak, sir, you called both of us here for a reason, correct?" Detective Yuray asked.
"You're sharp, Yuray. I like that!" He said. "Yes, you are correct. I'm hiring you both as a part of security team for a cruise ship!"
Yuray and Whisper gasped. "Cruise Ship?" They both repeated.
"Yes, a cruise ship! You see..." He took a piece of note with words written on it. "About few days ago, Sakura Blossom Luxuries Co. received a letter from the Phantom Thief, Gem! This letter says that he will steal the priceless Pink Diamond of Nile."
"Pink Diamond of Nile?" Whisper thought aloud.
"I heard about it," Yuray said. "It is a famous gem found in Egypt, near the Nile River about few months ago. I know that the President of Sakura Blossom Luxuries Co is one who discovered it due to his fondness in archaeology. He's very famous when it comes to his collection."
"You're very up to speed, Detective Yuray! I like that, too," Chief praised as Whisper made a puff cheek. "Yes, the Phantom Thief Gem is a notorious thief who steals many, many priceless gems all across Japan, and his next target is the Pink Diamond of Nile! I'm assigning you two to be part of the security team, protecting the diamond from Gem."
"Yes, sir!" They accepted the job.
"Good! I'm counting on you, Detective Yuray," he said.
"Hey! What about me?" Detective Whisper asked, but was ignored.
Time: 6:00 pm, Location: S.S Cruise (onboard, security room)
Later that day, it was now in the evening time. A lot of people, most notably rich and the famous were boarding the S.S. Sakura. Detective Whisper and Detective Yuray were onboard the ship, accompanying with the leader of the security team.
"Everyone, this is Detective Yuray and her partner, Detective Whisper. They will be part of this team," said the leader. "Let me introduce you both to the team. First is John. He's in charge of the security camera."
John was a man with blond hair, Caucasian skin, and blue eyes. "Next is Pablo. He is the muscle of the group."
Pablo was a big man with tanner skin and hairy bare chest that everyone could see due to his unzipped security guard uniform jacket.
"And finally this is Suki, our youngest member of the team and second-in-charge, but tough nonetheless." Suki was a young, cool woman with short black hair.
"And just for clarity, my name is Hamada, the Chief Officer of the security," he introduced.
"It's pleasure to meet you all," Detective Yuray and Whisper greeted with a bow.
"As you know, our job is to protect President Sakura's most valuable item, the Pink Diamond of Nile, but it is also our job to protect the safety of the passengers and everyone aboard the ship. We have many guests tonight boarding the ship, and some especially from the world of politics."
"Politics? Do you mean like the Prime Minister?" Whisper asked.
"Not exactly, but they are guests by President Sakura," Hamada stated. "So, it's important to keep an eyes on everyone."
"Pardon me, Mr. Hamada." Yuray spoke. "I noticed that when Mr. Whisper and I arrived here, we had to go through metal detactors."
"Ah, yes. You're quite sharp like what I heard about you," Hamada said. "Phantom Thief Gem is notorious for disguising himself and using weapons. The metal detectors and extra police officers are for security check to make sure the passengers are claiming who they are really."
"If security is this tight, what's the point then?" Detective Whisper asked skeptically.
"Your partner is not that sharp, is he?" The comment made Whisper looked disappointed. "Despise the measure we're taking, Phantom Thief Gem will show up, no matter what. Whenever he sends his letter to the target, he will come."
"Right," Detective Yuray said. "What should we do?"
"Well, I have special assignment for you two, especially," Hamada said.
Time: 8:00 pm, Location: S.S Cruise ball room
Detective Yuray and Whisper were now at the ball room, the main room where President Sakura is going to present the diamond to everyone.
"My, my! There sure are a lot of guests here!" Whisper said as he looked around.
"Yes, there sure are a lot of foods, too..." Detective Yuray watered with saliva, preying at the buffet table.
"Focus, partner!" Detective Whisper said as he thought to himself. 'If I catch the Phantom Thief Gem and protect the diamond, I'm sure I'll be praised more than this foolish glutton.'
"Ladies and gentlemen!" The presentation began as the announcer spoke up. "Welcome aboard to S.S. Sakura! We're glad to have you all on board with us tonight. Now, presenting the man who made all of this possible, the man of visionary and adventures, President Sakura!"
Everyone applauded as a man with white mustache, gray hair, and very eye-catching pink suit walked up to the stage.
"Good evening, everyone and honorable guests!" President Sakura greeted excitedly. "I welcome you all to this wonderful party, but of course you are not here to just taste the lovely buffet."
Everyone laughed at his joke while Yuray stopped munching on the food for the moment when he mentioned that.
"I'm here to present you my greatest finding in my collection! I know some of you may have heard of my discovery when I was on my adventurous trip in Egypt. Without further ado, here it is!" The stage lady opened up the curtain, revealing the most beautiful pink diamond in a protective glass case.
Everyone gasped and looked at the display.
"Behold! The Pink Diamond of Nile!" The diamond sparkled so beautiful that the room light went dim and the only thing that was illuminating inside the darkened room was the diamond itself.
"Just beautiful..." Whisper amazed.
Suddenly, a very loud sound occurred, shaking the ship. The guests screamed and the entire room went completely dark.
"Hey, who turn out the light!?" Detective Whisper cried.
The guests screamed and panicked when suddenly the light returned.
"It looks like the power came back. What was that all about?" Detective Whisper said.
"Yes, but that isn't the only thing happened," Yuray said as she pointed at the stage.
"Sir, sir!" The stage lady was at the collapsed President's side. "Are you alright, sir?!"
The two detectives and Chief Officer Hamada went onto the stage.
"What happened? Is he alright?" Chief Officer Hamada asked.
Detective Yuray checked his pulse and realized it. "Sorry, but he has passed."
"What? No!" Chief Officer Hamada gasped. The guests were surprised, too and one scream occurred.
"Hey! The Pink Diamond of Nile is missing!" One of the ship staff pointed.
'A body. Diamond. A thief. And dozens of dozens of guests. On one cruise ship...This is going to be the toughest case to solve.' Detective Yuray thought.
Part 1: Freddy Kruger
"Ken….Ken!" Ken's eyes opened up to see that he was in his bedroom. Yuray floated at his side.
"Huh? Why am I in my bedroom?" He asked.
"What do you mean, Master Ken?" Yuray said. "I woke you up because you're late for school."
Ken was confused. He should be at at his grandma's place, Aichi Inn. Nonetheless, he got up, changed his clothes, and went to school as usual.
When he arrived at school, everything looked normal, but didn't feel completely normal like it should be.
"Something is not right," he mumbled as he sat down at his desk as usual.
"Good morning, class!" The teacher came in, looking very peppy than usual.
"Good morning, Sensai!" Everyone responded, looking very happy and with a wide smile.
"Why am I here? This is not right. Am I in a…. dream?" He thought to himself.
"Today's class, we're going to learn a special lesson." Their teacher said. "Today's lesson is… war."
The word shocked Ken and made him baffled. "Wait… what?"
"Yeah! War!" All his classmates cheered.
"That's right, class. Today, we will learn about war and how cruel and necessary a war is. In fact, let's have a demonstration." The teacher gave everyone a rifle gun and suddenly, all corners of the wall and windows disappeared and the outside were the middle of the battlefield.
"What the!?" Ken gasped.
"Now, go fight, kids! Fight for your country!" The teacher ordered as vicious, sharp teeth revealed in his mouth.
"War! War! War!" Everyone exclaimed as they went off.
"No guys! Don't!" Ken yelled, but it was too late.
Guns and explosions were heard everywhere. His classmates and friends were getting shot, one by one.
"Nnnnooooo!" Ken screamed. "Stop this! STOP IT!"
His homeroom teacher laughed. "Look around, Ken. Isn't it beautiful? Everyone is fighting so bravely there. Aren't they such a good soldier?"
"Soldiers? They're kids and my friends!" Ken argued. "And who the hell are you!? You're not my teacher!"
"No, I am not..." His teacher transformed, revealing his true form. The man who stood in front of Ken was a tall man in green and red stripe shirt with long sleeves, dirty and burned pants, shoes, and two gloves, but one glove had long, sharp razors. He also wore a green Fedora hat, but the most surprising part was his face. His face looked like a melted cheese on a slice of pizza as the inner layer of muscle revealed.
"Who...Who are you!?" Ken questioned as he backed away.
"You know who I am, kiddo? Have you watch any of my movies?" The man said. "But, a proper introduction is needed when meeting someone first time. My name is….Freddy Kruger!"
"Freddy Kruger!?" Ken repeated.
"Yes, and you will be dead meat." Freddy grinned evilly as he raised his clawed, gloved hand in the air.
Ken gasped as he quickly dodged away from Freddy's clawed arm and ran away as fast as possible.
Freddy chuckled. "They always ran."
Ken ran as fast and far as he can, not noticing that he was running down the hallway of pipes. He hid in a corner as he breathed heavily.
He peeked to check if he wasn't being followed.
"Boo!" Freddy appeared through the pipe. Ken dodged the swing again and ran, but stopped by a dead end.
"No!" He cried as he tried to find a way to get out.
"You can run, but you can never hide," Freddy teased as he approached closer and closer.
"What do you want from me?" He demanded.
Freddy stopped about some inches away from Ken. "You want to know? I guess it's fair to tell before I slather you."
Ken gave him a look, but listened carefully while staying at safe distance for now.
"You see. I am ruler of this dimension, the dream world or whatever you want to call it. I am the demon who hunts and kills innocent people...well, more or less innocent. I collect their souls and they make more powerful as I collect them. That's why I had Dremona helping me before."
"Dremona? Why do you know her?" He asked.
"Her power makes the human in the real world have nightmares and I kill those human in their nightmares. However, ever since you befriend with her, she stops making human having nightmares!" He explained.
"So, you lost your power source and you want a revenge on me for that," Ken summarized.
"Something like that. I had my little spy watching over you and told me that you have quite a powerful nightmare," Freddy said.
"Wh...What does that have to do with me?" Ken asked nervously.
"I know your fear, Ken. Your fear of the war, fear of death, especially your father and his futile end," Freddy stated. "You are scared, Ken! You're scared of losing your loved one or anyone who cares to go to war and die in war! It is the reason why you are who you are now! Anti-social, pathetic boy who wants to left alone and cry for his daddy!"
Ken was surprised and looked saddened when suddenly, the surrounding areas changed again. Now they were back to the place where Ken's dad was.
He saw his father going into the village and fight the enemy with his fellow soldiers.
"Look around, Ken! This is the last time you will see your father, but look on the bright side..." Freddy whispered into his ear. "After I finish you, you can be reunited with your daddy-oh. Then, you can be happy again… if you allow me to."
Ken looked at him. "No! I won't forfeit for my life even if it means to see my dad again!"
"Then, you are a loser!" Freddy slapped him hard, making him fall to the ground.
"Now die!" Freddy launched his killing blow on Ken, but then a light shined over them, blinding Freddy and Ken.
"Ken, wake up! Ken!" A familiar female voice yelled.
"Mika…?" Ken said as the light absorbed him and then he disappeared with it.
"Damn it!" Freddy cried.
Ken slowly opened his eyes with someone saying his name. His vision was fuzzy first, but soon turned to normal and saw Mika, Yuray, and Lasagnyan.
"Am I back?" Ken said as he woke up.
"Hey, you're alright?" Mika asked. "Yuray came to me to tell that you've been crying and screaming in your sleep."
"I was so worry about you, Master Ken!" Yuray stated.
"So did I, Y'all," Lasagnyan said.
"There's an explanation," he said.
Part 2: Dream Team
Ken, Mika, and the two Yokai were in the guest room. Ken explained to them what happened in his dream or rather nightmare. It was 2:55 in the morning.
"Wow!" Lasagnyan surprised. "Your nightmare sounds like mightier and crazier than a dog going coo-coo on a hot, sunny day without water for 3 days."
"Right," Ken nodded, though didn't quite understand what Lasagnyan meant by.
"I've never heard of Freddy Kruger before," Mika said. "Is he a Yokai?"
"Hmm… According to the Yokai Pad, I don't have any information about him and it has the latest update installed, too. None!" Yuray exclaimed.
"In other words, we don't have any clues to his weakness or anything," Ken stated.
"But, why is he after you, partner?" Lasagnyan asked.
"Who knows, but unlike anything I face, this one is actually the most dangerous...thing I've ever face," Ken explained. "If I go to sleep again, that would be his chance to kill me and get my soul."
"Well, I won't let you go to sleep, Ken!" Mika declared. "You're too precious to be killed in your sleep and I will make extra coffees to make you stay awake!"
"Thank you, but I think that's just futile," Ken argued. "Staying awake when I need sleep would just make things worse."
"Then, how would you protect yourself? Are you going to fight him then?" She said.
"How can I?" He replied. "I mean… It's just…. I don't know how."
Ken looked down, looking very hopeless. Everyone else felt worry for him, but they still wanted to help.
"Hey Ken..." Mike spoke. "There is no need to be afraid. We're here for you and we will fight together to beat Freddy Kruger."
Suddenly, something knocked at the door, which spook them.
"Someone knocked the door!" Yuray exclaimed.
"Is it Freddy Krugar, Y'all?" Lasagnyan got her lasso ready.
"Or maybe Grandma?" Mika got a random baseball bat ready, too.
"I doubt it is. It is almost 3 in the morning," Ken stated. "Open the door, but slowly, Yuray."
Yuray floated to the door and slid it a little to open it. She opened the door wider and wider until they saw nobody there, except for a small letter on the floor.
"Nobody's here except for this piece of paper," Yuray said as she gave it to Ken.
"It has something written on it," he said as he unfolded it.
"What does it say?" Mika asked curiously.
"Well, it doesn't say who it is from, but it says stuff about Freddy Kruger!" Ken revealed.
"Holy cow!" Lasagnyan gasped.
"Oh my! Please read it, Master Ken," Yuray said.
"It says here…."
Hey guys! This is your awesome and omnipotent narrator here and I just want you all for the whole backstory part to imagine the scene because well….the author won't write every little detail, OK? Good? Then, let's continue…
"Freddy Kruger was originally man who lived in the small community of southern American state. He was a simple, quiet man working as a janitor at the town's small school. However, he had a secret, something that he doesn't want anyone to know," Ken read.
"Oh my..." Yuray mumbled.
"As times went by, a report of missing children increased. All the cases point that the last time the children were seen was at the school at 3 pm, the time it was over. The police searched the children in the school and around the school, but couldn't find anything. When hope is all lost, something of a miracle or rather coincidence happened. A young boy, one of the children who goes to the school, saw Freddy carrying a huge plastic bag as he dragged it along into the janitor's room, but he didn't lock it. Out of curiosity, the boy went inside and when he did, he found something unusual… secret stairway that went down."
"Uuuuuuhh..." Mika felt intrigued.
"He went downstairs slowly and quietly, and witness something he shouldn't. He got out of the place as fast as he did. He told everything he saw to his parents, and his parents told it to the police. Soon, the police arrested Freddy for the reason why many children of the school went missing, but after he was arrested and put into jail, he escaped. However, the parents found out soon and went after him. Freddy ran into an abandoned boiler factory. Instead of capturing him, they did something else that would ultimately create Freddy into the demon he is today. They set the factory on fire, trapping him until the whole thing burned down and before the police arrived. From that day forward, he became Freddy Krueger, Evil Yokai of the Horror Tribe."
"So, that explains everything..." Mika said. "He was a child killer, killing them and now he is killing them in their sleep."
Yuray was searching something on her Yokai Pad. "Ah! Here it is! I found the information about the Horror Tribe!"
"Really? Then, spill the bean, Yuray ol' pal!" Lasagnyan demanded.
"Horror Tribe is an extinct Yokai Tribe. Most Yokai who are part of this tribe tends to love to scare humans. During the last Great Yokai War, most of the Horror Tribe Yokai were dead, leading them into extinction due to the low number of them existing. King Emma declared the tribe to be non-existent as for the rest of the tribes united and created today's more peaceful, modern Yokai World," she explained.
"But, not all of them became extinct," Mika stated.
"Yeah, but now we know something about Freddy Krueger and I think I have a plan to defeat him," Ken said.
- Yo-Kai Watch -
Ken was walking in the hallway of boiler pipes. He looked around carefully and stood still in the middle.
"I know you're here, Freddy! Show yourself!" Ken yelled.
Suddenly, the floor in front of him melted and formed into Freddy Krueger until he revealed himself.
"Hello, Ken! I miss you, but I am surprised that you actually came back," Freddy said. "That's a first!"
"Yeah, but I am not alone," Ken stated.
Suddenly, a lasso appeared and tied Freddy up.
"Hee-haw! I caught him!" Lasagnyan exclaimed.
"Caught what?" Freddy teased as he turned himself so skinny that the lasso loosened. He got his bladed glove out, but Lasagnyan dodged as he slashed a boiler pipe into five pieces.
"Ho, you bought a friend with you?" He asked and the laughed. "Fine! More kills for me."
"Hiya!" Out of nowhere, Mika attacked Freddy with a frying pan. She also wore a short sleeve shirt, ripped jean pants, and random stuff on her, like baseball bat, folks, hammer, and others. She also wore a red bandanna over her forehead.
"And a family member, too! How touching..." Freddy commented, but looked a bit agitated.
"Let's dance," Mika stated as she screamed and went charging toward Freddy, like a crazy person.
Freddy merely stepped away to his right, causing Mika to miss and tripped on herself.
Freddy just sighed of how predictable it was.
"You got to do better than that, sweetheart!" Freddy laughed.
"Oh yeah! Maybe this would do!" Ken responded as he had his Yo-Kai Watch ready. "Come out, my friend, InuKamen! Yokai Medal, set on!"
His Watch Model Zero did the intro of the Brave Yokai Tribe song until summoned the Yokai.
"InuKamen!" InuKamen appeared.
"Your outmatch, Freddy!" Ken pointed.
Freddy just laughed. "Ha! Foolish boy! I have a special trick up in my sleeve for this special occasion!"
He took out a medal that showed familiar Yokai.
"No way!" Ken gasped.
He flipped the medal, which turned into the very Yokai.
"InuKamen Future!" InuKamen Future appeared, standing in front of the heroes.
"So, we meet again, my pathetic past self!" InuKamen Future said. "But, this time, for the last time!"
"I won't let you get your own way!" InuKamen replied as they began fighting.
"Now that they're busy, let's get on with our business, Ken," Freddy stated.
"I'm not done yet!" Mika screamed as she jumped over the man onto his back.
"Mika!" Ken yelled.
She began hitting him with the frying pan on the head.
"Doh! Ouch! Oh! Ouch!" Freddy's head continued to be pummeled by Mika's frying pan.
"Kick this! And that! And some of this!" She cried.
"She's good," Lasagnyan commented.
"Get off of me!" Freddy roared as it created an echo that blasted everything away from him.
"Aaaaah!" Mika, Ken, Yuray, and everyone else got blown away and hit on their back.
Freddy walked over to Ken, who was awake while everyone else was dazed or unconscious.
"Now, let's end this, boy, but first a little trip to memory lane!" Freddy snapped his finger, transforming the surrounding area into a warzone.
Ken looked around, seeing his father in action. His fellow soldier got shot and died at the spot.
"Move forward, guys! We're almost there!" Ken's dad yelled.
Suddenly, a missile bomb landed right in front of him, exploding him.
"Nnnnooooo!" Ken yelled.
The scene changed again, but this time to a place familiar to Ken. It was his father's funeral and saw his mother crying at his coffin.
"Mom?" He asked, but then the scene changed again and this time he saw himself when he was young, alone while all the other kids were playing and two teachers were talking behind his back.
"Doesn't he want to play outside?" asked the teacher.
"He...lost his father in the war," answered the other teacher. "Poor kid."
The scene changed again and this time still showing his past self when he was pushed by other three kids while walking to home.
"Loner! Wierdo! Loser!" They yelled a name at him.
However, he didn't care and showed no resentment or any emotion at all. He just got back up and walked home.
"Sad, isn't it?" Freddy's voice spoke, but he was no where in present physically. "Your life is so meaningless now. That is what you thought, wasn't it? Your life became dull, nobody there to support you. Your mommy is too busy in her job to take care of you, so you take care of yourself. No emotion, no compassion, no ambition! Nothing! Why don't you just begone from this world?"
Ken looked down on himself, thinking deeply in his mind.
"Yeah, my life was upside down that time...totally a crap," he responded. "But, you're wrong! My life was anything, but nothing! I now have friends, with Yuray, Lasagnyan, Keita, Fumika, and others! My mom hangs out with me on Sunday whenever possible! And, I have a relative, my cousin who is a bit annoying, but very caring for others and me! My life isn't nothing, Freddy unlike your former life when you were a child killer who had strange obsession over them and more alone than anyone in the world, more than me!"
Suddenly, the surrounding areas cracked and light shined through until everything turned blank.
"No!" Freddy yelled as he showed himself in front of him. "I am more powerful than you! I rules over dreams! You live in much worse life than me! You rather want to die!"
"Not today or ever until I become wrinkly and old, unlike you who had a shorter lifespan..." Ken insulted him.
"You're more pathetic! You rather want to be alone from everyone else and separate them from you!" He yelled angrily.
"Yeah, I did," Ken agreed. "But, I also accepted them and I don't mind at all, even if it gets annoying sometimes. At least I have someone who loves me and cares for me. Compared to you, you lived and even now still live in a much shittier life than mine!"
Freddy burst in anger as he raised his bladed glove over him. He slashed his head off.
Freddy huffed and puffed. "Finally! The last soul I need to get out of this hell! I can finally be FREE!"
"Sorry, pal..." He checked at Ken's head. "But, you got the wrong person."
Suddenly, the head poofed and turned out to be Racoopy.
"What?" Freddy gasped.
"Surprise, Surprise." He turned around and then got punch in the face, causing them to return to the normal boilers room. Then, he tripped himself on a wire that was prepared by Mika and Yuray.
Freddy stepped toed and then fell into a boiler with a door. Quickly, they shut the door and locked it.
"Nooooo!" Freddy yelled. "Let me out!"
"The nightmare is over..." Ken said as a strange white light appeared them, acting like a portal to reality. They walked into the portal and left the dream world.
Ken slowly opened his eyes and saw the clock. The time was now 7:10 am. It was morning after a long, long night.
"I'm really back..." Ken said.
"Hey Ken!" Mika screamed as she opened the door.
"What the heck!?" Ken gasped.
"It's time for breakfast!" She exclaimed.
"OK, OK!" He responded. "Just let me change first!"
After a nice breakfast, the time had come for Ken to leave the village and return to home.
"Thank you for enjoying your stay at Aichi Inn, Ken," said his grandma. "I hope you will come visit us again and stay little longer."
"Hey Ken..." Aunt Yuna handled him a box wrapped in beautiful wrapper. "This is a gift to you and your mother. Please say hi to her for me."
"Um, thank you, Aunt Yuna," he said as he accepted it.
"We look forward to your next visit," Mr. Tanaka stated.
"See ya around, kiddo," Unclo Kuro winked.
"Hey Ken..." Mika said. "See you soon!"
He nodded and then at the last minute, he got on his train. It began to move, heading back to Sakura New Town.
"You know, Y'all. I'm gonna miss this town..." Lasagnyan said.
"Yes, indeed, but we can always come back again," Yuray remarked.
"Yeah, I would like to do that soon," Ken admitted as he looked out the window and grinned.
Yuray looked at him and felt a bit different. "Um, Master Ken?"
"Hmm?" He looked at Yuray.
She nodded. "Oh, it's nothing."
"Hey, look Y'all!" They looked out the window and saw the Yokai they met; Smogmella, Racoopy, and Numerask saying their goobye as the train went by.
Ken waved back at them, but of course this won't be the last time he will seen them as he could always summon them with his watch. However, something else watched over them. A wolf with the strange marking watched the train until it entered a tunnel.
- Yo-Kai Watch -
"So what is your reason for what you did, Nekomusume?" Shadowed figures loomed over Nekomusume who was standing in the middle.
The figures' eyes glowed in the darkness. Some had a red eye, yellow, and pink color.
"I did it so that Freddy Krueger wouldn't get Ken's soul. If he did, then our plan will be ruin," she defended.
"Hmmmm..." The red-eyed figure stated. "Very well. I accept your defense and let you go, but you've been quite lazy in your works."
"Sir, I've been efficient in my works," she argued.
"Silence you dirty cat!" A yellow-eyed figure yelled as it came out of the shadows.
It revealed itself to be a mummy with hedjet. The color was gold with dark blue stripes.
"We're not getting enough Dark Energy! You're not forcing that boy into using the Watch S more often!" He scolded.
"Shut up, Shietah!" A pink-eyed figure said. It revealed itself to be a female with grayish blue reptilian skin and reptilian eyes. Her hairs were bunch of snakes.
"Do you want me to end your existence, you snake-head witch!" Sheitah's cloth loosened as several cloth floated or moved like tentacles.
"I can always turn you into stone just by looking at you!" She hissed as her snake hairs hissed, too.
"Silence!" They both startled and looked at the red-eye figure. The one who spoke was an ordinary man in dark, red cape and clothes. His neck collar was big enough to cover his head from the backside. His outfit was rather very old Victorian style.
"Cooperation and understanding are necessary keys for us to stay together strong, my friends," he said. "Without it, we would be gone like the rest of our fallen brothers and sisters during the past great war."
Sheitah and Medusa calmed down, and looked a bit seldom after the man mentioned the war.
"Nekomusume," the man said.
"Yes, my lord, Count Dracula," she responded.
"I will allow you to continue your mission, but you will need supervision from now on," he stated. "Wolfman Jr will accompanying you from now on."
Nekomusume looked a bit resentment to the idea, but complied. "Thank you, my lord, for allowing me to continue in my task. I will not fail you."
She left the mysterious chamber as the three discussed things over.
"I don't trust her," Sheitah said.
"My hair rattles whenever I see her. I still don't get why she even join us," Medusa said as she rolled her eyes.
"Because she has no where else to go," Count Dracula said. "She is useful….for now. Until we gathered enough Dark Energy, then…."
Suddenly, the floor opened up and strange canister rose up. Something was inside it, which was some kind of strange black material.
"Soon, we will revive our master and the Horror Tribe will once again reign over both the Yokai World and the human world!" Count Dracula exclaimed.
Hey guys! I am back and I finally can actually talk about the new tribe, the Horror Tribe!
This new Yokai Tribe is something I've been planning for a year now and I can finally reveal to you all in this chapter! Horror Tribe, like what Yuray said, is an extinct Yokai Tribe, but it seems that won't be the case because Count Dracula, Medusa, and Sheitah the Mummy are going to revive the tribe by resurrecting their master! Who could this be and what other mysteries to be yet solved?
From here and out, Horror Tribe Yokai will appear more and I already have few in-plan to appear, but I am opening up for OC submission for Horror Tribe Yokai. Here is the format:
1. Name (Required)
2 Tribe (Horror Only! Well, duh, it is for the Horror Tribe)
3. Gender: Male or Female (if you would like transgender, then please let me know by PM only)
4. Appearance: Required; Make it as creative as possible. It can be based on something. Just be creative ;)
5. Background: Required; Make its original as bare born as possible. In other words, very original, but also not too cliche. I've noticed few OC submissions before that the backstory, though interesting, is also becoming a bit cliche, like this Yokai was born because he was originally a human but died. Just an example. It is fine if one new OC submission says that for this, but if multiple says a similar thing, then that would be no fun.
6. Alliance: Required; this is something new. What I mean for this is are they one of the two; "Good" or "Evil". If you want Neutral, then sorry, but you can't choose that. If there is a reason why you want it to be Neutral for Alliance, then please talk to me privately in PM.
Thank you very much and I hope to see you soon. Have a wonderful day :)
PS: I forgot to mention that Freddy Krueger in my Yo-Kai Watch story is officially a Yokai. I know it is weird, but it makes sense and fit with the theme in the lore world of Yokai. What do you think?
