Yo-kai Watch Adventures
Chapter fourteen: A legendary encounter
Kira, a thirteen-year-old girl living in the Uptown Springdale area, was in the dining area of the house where she lived with her grandmother, having breakfast. Kira is one of two people who befriends yo-kai, and as such, three of Kira's yo-kai friends, Venoct, Shadow Venoct and Illuminoct, were having breakfast with her. Kira's grandmother, Sophia, was glad for the extra company, as she enjoyed having a full house to look after.
"Hey Kira," Venoct began as he, his brothers, Kira and Kira's grandmother enjoyed breakfast, "Did you get Komasan to write that apology letter to the Kyubi brothers yet?"
"No, not yet," Kira replied with a gentle head shake in the negative, "Because before I can get Komasan to write that apology letter, he has to learn how to write properly first."
"Wait a minute," Shadow Venoct began in a mildly surprised tone, "Komasan doesn't know how to write?"
"Not properly," Kira clarified, "Luckily for us, Arachnus has a thing for writing, so I'm thinking about asking him to tutor Komasan in writing."
"Oh yeah," Venoct remarked in a mildly amused casual tone, "Arachnus has such a talent when it comes to writing, that many in the yo-kai world consider letters written by Arachnus to be great treasures worthy of being displayed in museums." Turning to face his human friend more directly, Venoct continued, "Do you still have the letter Arachnus sent you when we were all called to that meeting on Flatpot Planes?"
"Actually, yeah," Kira replied, "It's in a folder on the bookshelf in my bedroom."
"Arachnus's letters truly are well-worded records," Shadow Venoct remarked, "As for letters written by Toadal Dude, well…Granted, Toadal Dude is competent enough of a writer that he could also tutor Komasan, but Toadal Dude's choice of wording when it comes to writing isn't as…eloquent as Arachnus's."
"Hey guys," Illuminoct said, "I think that Toadal Dude's way of writing, as well as speaking, makes him sound like the wisest of sages."
"He talks like a stereotypical surfer dude," Venoct pointed out, "And he also uses stereotypical surfer dude lingo in his writing." Turning back to face his breakfast, Venoct said, "I think that speaks for itself, Ill-"
"Hey look, everyone," Sophia remarked in a casual tone, cutting Venoct off in the process, as she pointed to something that was happening outside the living room window, "It's snowing."
"Snow?" Kira said in a confused tone as she and the Venoct brothers got up from the table to go look out the living room window. What Kira and her yo-kai friends saw was true; it was currently snowing. During summer break. Given the bizarre weather that was happening right now, Kira came to one conclusion, and she came to it rather quickly.
"A yo-kai is behind this," Kira remarked in a knowing tone, the Venoct brothers all nodding in agreement with their human friend.
"We ought to head outside and investigate this summer time snow," Venoct said.
"Let me bundle up first, at least," Kira replied, "Humans aren't as resistant to the weather as yo-kai, you know."
Outside in the snow-covered Uptown Springdale, Kira, wearing a blue hooded jacket and a pair of pants, looked around. As Kira and the Venoct brothers looked around, they heard a familiar male voice call out, "Oi, Kira! Venoct brothers!" Kira and her yo-kai friends turned to see Atticus, the other person besides Kira who befriends yo-kai, come walking up. With Atticus at the time were Kyubi, Frostail and Darkyubi.
Kira also looked at what Atticus was wearing for the Uptown Springdale's current colder climate; a pair of pants, a black jacket with zigzag patterns on both of the jacket's sides (the jacket's sleeves ended at around Atticus's elbows), and a white scarf with black lines forming square patterns that almost resembled scales; the scarf had fringes on both ends. To Kira, Atticus asked, "I don't suppose that either you or any of the Venoct brothers have any idea as to what's going on with this snow, do you?"
Gently shaking her head in the negative, Kira replied, "I'm afraid that we're just as stumped as you. Heck, we saw this right as we were having breakfast with my grandmother!"
"Yeah, my grandaunt told me about how she saw it snowing from the living room window right after I got out from taking a shower," Atticus remarked. Looking around, Atticus said, "This has to be the work of a yo-kai, most likely one who is a powerful ice-attribute yo-kai."
"Like Frostail?" Illuminoct suggested as he pointed to Frostail.
"…Besides Frostail, you idiot," Darkyubi snapped at the blonde-haired S-rank yo-kai.
"Hey, don't blame me for jumping to obvious conclusions," Illuminoct defended, "When people talk of a certain description for a yo-kai, and a yo-kai who just so happens to match that description is standing right in front of me, it's pretty hard to resist the urge to suggest that the-"
"Hey Kira! Atticus!" a younger male voice called out, prompting the two thirteen-year-olds and their respective yo-kai friends to turn and see Nate, Eddie, Bear and Jibanyan come running up to them, each dressed for colder weather. It had been Nate who called out.
"Oh, what's up, little dudes?" Kira greeted.
"There's a bunch of snow," Jibanyan remarked.
"How did all of this snow appear?" Nate asked, "I mean, it's summer. It normally doesn't snow in the summer."
"That's what we're about to go about investigating," Kira replied, "Atticus, the Venoct brothers, the Kyubi brothers and I were going to-"
"Hey Atticus!" a young female voice called out, getting everyone to turn and face Katie Forester as she came running up to the group, dressed for the snow.
"What's wrong, Katie?" Atticus asked.
"You know about the entrance to the alleyway located near the Fish Market?" Katie asked, "Well, there are some wall-like yo-kai blocking both ends of the road that leads to that alleyway, effectively cutting that area off."
"Excuse me?" Atticus said as he, Kira, the boys and the yo-kai all turned to face Katie.
"Both the end of that road located near my place," Katie began to explain, "As well as the end located next to the Fish Market itself, are being blocked off by wall-like yo-kai. They even blocked off the third way to that alleyway that involves going past Banter Bakery."
Turning to face everyone else, Kira said, "Alright, let's put checking out the cause behind the snow on the backburner for the time being so we can focus on the yo-kai blocking off that one alleyway entrance located near the Fish Market."
"Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the yo-kai blocking off that alleyway have something to do with the snow that's happening right now?" Kyubi remarked as he and everyone else ran to go check things out over where Katie said yo-kai were blockading an entire section of road in Uptown Springdale.
When the humans and the yo-kai arrived at the blocked-off section of road located near Katie's house, they saw a trio of Impasses standing in the road, blocking it off. "Huh, it's a trio of Impasses," Kira remarked in a casual tone, "I guess that Katie's description of 'wall-like yo-kai' was right on the money."
"And I'm willing to bet that the other two roads that lead to the entrance of that alleyway located near the Fish Market are also being blocked off by multiple Impasses," Atticus said in a tone that made him sound sure of himself, "We might even see a Walldin."
"What are you and your fellows doing blocking off all access to that alleyway?" Kyubi asked the three Impasses that stood before him and the others.
"No one is allowed to get anywhere near that alleyway," the middle Impass stated in a matter-of-factly tone, "No ifs, ands or buts."
"Can you at least explain why you're blocking an entire section of Uptown Springdale off?" Venoct asked, "If we're given an explanation at the very least, then-"
"No explanation is allowed to be given," the Impass on the right of the group interrupted, "That is the order we were given."
"So," Atticus began, "Not only are you guys blocking off an entire section of Uptown Springdale, but you refuse to explain why you're doing so."
"To be honest, I was never told why we have to block off that alleyway," the left most Impass remarked, "I was just told to stay here and let no one get pass."
"We're going to have to ask you all to leave and allow our group's work in that alleyway to continue," the middle Impass stated, "You all can go through this area once our group is done with its work here."
The group of humans and yo-kai backed off, but out of sight of the Impasses, they had a group huddle. "…This is suspicious," Kira said, "I say we make our way pass the Impasses and check out that alleyway to see what the hell is going on."
"How do you figure we do that?" Bear asked.
"My posse and I will stay near the Impasses near Katie's place," Kira said, "Meanwhile, Atticus and his posse will work their magic on the Impasses or whatever other yo-kai are blocking off the way near the Fish Market." To Nate, Katie, Eddie, Bear and Jibanyan, Kira said, "As for you guys, you try and do something with the yo-kai blocking off the area close to Banter Bakery."
After everyone nodded in agreement with their roles in the plan, Kira said, "Alright everyone, let's get to it!"
The three Impasses blocking off the road near Katie's place were merely standing there, doing their job that was assigned to them. As they waited around, they heard someone call out, "Octo Snake!" Suddenly, and to their surprise, the three Impasses were hit multiple times each, just before they saw the Venoct brothers come into focus.
"Alright boys," Kira said, "Focus your efforts on one Impass at a time! Once one of them goes down, we can move on to the next-" Kira stopped short when she saw the three Impasses surrounded by a green aura; suddenly, all of their injuries were healed.
"Ha!" the middle Impass said in a bragging tone, "Did you seriously think that our group wouldn't be prepared for the possibility of someone trying to force their way pass us? Not only are we ready for that, but we also got yo-kai who can heal us safely behind us! There's no way that anyone can force their way past our combination of defense and healing!"
"…Clever girl," Illuminoct remarked, sounding both annoyed and impressed at the same time.
Meanwhile, Atticus and his yo-kai friends were working on forcing their way pass two Impasses and a Walldin that were blocking off the area of the road near the Fish Market. After Frostail hit the three wall-like yo-kai with his strongest technique, Arctic Abyss, the three Kyubi brothers proceeded to try and take out the yo-kai blocking their way, beginning with the Walldin.
"Okay, guys," Atticus said, "That Walldin looks like it's almost defeated. Continue to push it until-" Atticus stopped midsentence when not only was the Walldin surrounded by the green light of healing powers, but the two Impasses as well. "…I should have seen this coming," the thirteen-year-old boy remarked in an annoyed tone, snapping his fingers as a new roadblock in taking out the blockades just popped up.
"Ha!" the Walldin laughed, "You can't take us out because of the healing yo-kai hiding behind us, and you can't get to them until you take us out! There's no way you'll be able to get past us!"
"If Illuminoct had this much intelligence when it came to anything," Darkyubi remarked, "I would be nowhere near as annoyed with him as I usually am."
Over where the yo-kai were blocking off the area of road near Banter Bakery, Nate, Katie, Eddie and Bear watched as Jibanyan tried to take out one of the Impasses by scratching him repeatedly. Not only was this doing very little damage, but all of the damage that Jibanyan was actually being able to inflict was healed by yo-kai hiding behind the Impasses.
"Hey, that's no fair!" Jibanyan complained, "How are we going to get pass you guys if you keep on healing faster than I can hit you?!"
"You're not supposed to get pass us," the middle Impass said, "No one is supposed to get to that alleyway. Why else do you think we're stationed here?"
"You know, you guys blocking off this area is going to agitate a lot of the people living in the Uptown Springdale area," Nate pointed out, "They're going to want all you guys to move out of the way."
"Well they can just wait until we're done here," the left most Impass said, arms crossed over his chest, "This matter is not up for debate."
"…You guys are jerks," Bear remarked casually to the three wall-like yo-kai.
Back to where Kira and her yo-kai friends were trying to force their way pass the Impasses, Kira stood by while Arachnus used ranged elemental earth attacks to strike at one of the Impasses that was standing in front of them. Meanwhile, Arachnia and Swelterrier were attacking the same Impass with physical strikes and ranged elemental fire attacks respectively.
However, as it was with the Venoct brothers, not only was the damage being inflicted by Arachnus, Arachnia and Swelterrier not going anywhere too fast, but it was being healed by the yo-kai hiding behind the three Impasses.
"This isn't getting us anywhere, Kira," Arachnia said as he continued to strike at the Impass that he and the others were trying to take out.
"Well it's not like we have a lot of other options to work with here," Kira replied, "I just need you, Arachnus and Swelterrier to keep going! Hopefully the Impasses will get tired of this little back-and-forth dance long before we do!"
"Ha! As if!" the middle Impass facing Kira and her yo-kai friends laughed, "My fellows and I can keep this up all day!" Kira growled in an annoyed tone as she and her yo-kai friends kept up their assault on the Impasses that stood before them.
Meanwhile near the Fish Market, Atticus was working with Toadal Dude, Uber Geeko and Hornaplenty against the two Impasses and the one Walldin. Toadal Dude and Hornaplenty were both bashing their physical attacks against the Walldin while Uber Geeko stood back and struck it with ranged elemental fire attacks.
"Okay," Atticus remarked as he saw his yo-kai friends make some degree of progress against the three wall-like yo-kai, "It seems switching to a primarily physical-focused assault against the two Impasses and the Walldin seems to be having some-" Atticus stopped short when he saw all of the damage that Toadal Dude, Uber Geeko and Hornaplenty had inflicted was being healed.
"Dude!" Toadal Dude exclaimed in an annoyed tone as he saw the progress that he and his fellows were making being undone, "That's totally bogus, bro!"
"Deal with it," the Walldin said, "No one is supposed to get pass us! Can't you guys just wait until our group is done here and we leave on our own?"
"Yeah, that's not going to happen," Atticus replied with a growl as his yo-kai friends continued their assault.
Over where the three Impasses near Banter Bakery were standing guard, they relaxed a bit, as the four kids and one yo-kai that was bothering them left. As they stood around, they saw something turn the corner; it was Bear, riding his bike at full speed while shouting at the top of his lungs. To the shock of the three Impasses, it looked like Bear was going to try and ram into them.
"I'm a champion!" Bear yelled as he rode up quickly to the middle Impass, crashing into it with as much force as he could have managed. While Bear fell back, the Impass that he hit stumbled back a bit but did not fall over. After regaining its bearings, the middle Impass quickly got back to where he stood, and was soon immediately healed by the yo-kai hiding behind him and the other two Impasses.
Getting up off of the ground, Bear picked up his bike and began to push it as he walked away weakly. "Well there goes my plan," Bear remarked as he walked away, partly using his bike for support to keep from falling over.
The three groups trying to force their way past the yo-kai blockade met up with each other, deciding to regroup right in front of Banter Bakery to check on progress with each other. "Well my posse and I have been having no luck in taking out our share of the blockade," Kira said, a disappointed scowl over her face.
"You aren't the only ones who have failed so far," Nate stated, "Jibanyan alone isn't having any luck at all in taking out one of those wall yo-kai, and Bear tried to ram his bike into one of them, by that failed too."
"I'm still a champion," Bear stated as he held up his right index finger.
"You know what," Atticus growled in a mildly irritated tone as he stood up, "Forget this noise!" Atticus then turned to walk away, the Kyubi brothers following him.
"Is…is he okay?" Katie asked, a hint of concern in her tone.
"The challenge we've been presented with, although not overly hard, is taking forever due to the challenge's massive defense coupled with well-guarded healers," Kira explained, "I know very little about Atticus, but I do know that he doesn't like it if a challenge he's presented with is taking forever for him to get over."
"What do you think he's going to do?" Eddie asked.
Shaking her head gently, Kira said, "No clue, little dude. No clue at all." Kira, the Venoct brothers, Jibanyan, the boys and Katie continued to try and brainstorm an idea on how to get past one of the yo-kai blockades. As they planned, Atticus came back to Banter Bakers; this time, Kyubi and Toadal Dude were following him.
"Where are the other Kyubi brothers?" Kira asked as she regarded the thirteen-year-old boy who befriends yo-kai.
"I swapped Frostail and Darkyubi, along with Uber Geeko and Hornaplenty, out of my team for the time being," Atticus explained, "I figured that a problem like this requires a lot more power than what we've been throwing at it so far."
"A lot more power than two of the Kyubi brothers, Uber Geeko and Hornaplenty?" Venoct replied in a confused tone, "What are you talking about?"
"Follow us and you'll see," Kyubi replied before he and Toadal Dude turned to follow Atticus over to where they were originally trying to take out the yo-kai blockade. Curious, Kira and the others all got up to follow Atticus and his posse of yo-kai.
…
Atticus, Kyubi and Toadal Dude stood before the two Impasses and one Walldin that they were trying to take out beforehand. When Kira and the rest of the group showed up to see what Atticus was up to, the Walldin said, "Ha! You're back to try again? Have you learned nothing?"
Saying nothing, Atticus took a yo-kai medal out. Venoct and his brothers caught the gleam of a medal color that was not the silvery gleam of a regular yo-kai's medal, or the golden gleam of a rare yo-kai's medal. "Wait a minute," Venoct said in an apprehensive tone, "Is Atticus going to summon what I think he's going to summon?"
"Venoct? What's wrong?" Kira asked, but before her yo-kai friend could explain, Atticus put the yo-kai medal he took out into his Yo-kai Watch.
"Come on out, my friend!" Atticus declared as he put the yo-kai medal into his Yo-kai Watch, "Calling Shogunyan! Yo-kai medal, do your thing!" Suddenly, and with much fanfare with trumpets in the background playing music that sounds when a mighty and heroic person comes onto the scene, a nekomata yo-kai with dark blusih fur appeared, wearing light blue samurai armor and carrying a katana.
The Venoct brother all took a step back out of a mix of mild fear, respect and reverence to the yo-kai that Atticus just summoned. Even Illuminoct, who normally can't read the situation all that well, knew full well the severity of the situation. "Yeah, he did it, alright," Venoct remarked with a hint of nervousness in his tone, "Atticus summoned a legendary yo-kai."
"Legendary yo-kai?" Kira said in a confused tone, "What's a legendary yo-kai?"
"Legendary yo-kai are extraordinarily revered yo-kai afforded the greatest of respect by all other yo-kai," Venoct explained to his human friend, the nervousness in his tone never faltering, "They are also among the strongest yo-kai to ever exist." Turning to face where Atticus stood with Kyubi, Toadal Dude and Shogunyan, Venoct continued, "The fact that Atticus actually managed to befriend a legendary yo-kai is nothing short of miraculous. Also, the fact that Atticus is resorting to using a legendary yo-kai to try and break his way through the yo-kai blockade means that he's clearly lost his temper."
"Atticus actually lost his temper?" Kira said with a surprised look on her face, "Wow, that's a-"
"Bonito Blade!" Shogunyan exclaimed as he flew forward at the two Impasses and one Walldin, slashing the air in front of him multiple times, resulting in the three wall-like yo-kai all taking serious hits. After he finished carrying out his technique, Shogunyan leapt forward and struck out at the Walldin three times with his sword, knocking out the rare wall-like yo-kai. This was followed by Kyubi and Toadal Dude each taking out one of the two Impasses that remained, finally breaking through one of the blockades.
When the Walldin and the two Impasses poofed away in swirling clouds of purple smoke, two Betterflies and a Nurse Tongus could be seen, having hidden behind the now defeated wall-like yo-kai. "One of the blockades has fallen!" the Nurse Tongus exclaimed in a panic as she and the two Betterflies fled towards one of the other blockades that hadn't fallen yet, "We're in trouble!"
After the three healing yo-kai fled, Atticus crossed his arms over his chest. "Feh," Atticus scoffed in an annoyed tone, "About time we broke through one of the blockades." Turning to face everyone else, Atticus continued, "Let's go check out that alleyway and see why all of those yo-kai were trying so hard to keep it blocked off."
"Right," Kira said as she and everyone else proceeded to follow Atticus, Kyubi, Toadal Dude and Shogunyan to the alleyway located near the Fish Market.
Inside of the alleyway, the humans and the yo-kai looked around to try and see if they could find what those yo-kai forming the blockade were trying to hide. Within short order, they came across a Blizarria laying on the ground, her head propped up on a pile of folded clothing that were clearly tossed out and was clearly gathered from random places. Both Venoct and Kyubi saw right away that the look on Blizarria's face indicated that she was very much under the weather. A Casanuva was standing next to the downed S-rank yo-kai, trying to heal her.
"Huh, a Blizarria that's very sick," Kyubi remarked as he crossed his arms over his chest, "Well that would certainly explain why it's snowing in the summer." Having heard Kyubi speak, the Casanuva who was tending to Blizarria looked up and saw the guests. Immediately, Casanuva assumed a defensive stance, apparently ready to fight if need be.
"Who are you lot?" Casanuva demanded, "How did you get through the blockade?"
"I got some of my yo-kai friends to beat up two Impasses and a Walldin, but that's beside the point," Atticus replied. Stepping forward, the thirteen-year-old boy continued, "Do you have anything to do with why the blockade was set up in the first place?"
The look on his face clearly showing that he was stuck with no way out of this situation, Casanuva said, "Alright, look. Blizarria here suddenly collapsed due to catching some sort of sickness. I think it's a fever or something. We can't move her with the way she is right now, so we're trying to take care of her here. Some friends of mine and I managed to get that blockade set up because we were worried someone may come along, discover Blizarria while she's down like this, and make things worse."
Curious, Kira and the Venoct brothers walked over to where Blizarria was laying down. Kira and Shadow Venoct both bent down to take a closer look at Blizarria while Venoct and Illuminoct assured Casanuva that Kira and Shadow Venoct weren't going to do anything bad to Blizarria. Getting a close-up look of Blizarria's face, Kira noticed the discolored blushing over her face. Gently, Kira laid the tips of her left-hand fingers on Blizarria's stomach, which elicited a groan of pain from the ice-attribute S-rank yo-kai, and a concerned "Hey!" from Casanuva.
Kira and Shadow Venoct both got up from taking a look at Blizarria and turned to face Casanuva. "Blizarria must had eaten something that was really, really bad," Kira explained, "Because she's clearly got food poisoning."
"Food poisoning?" Casanuva repeated in a confused and concerned tone, "Can anything be done?"
"Not in an alleyway, that's for sure," Shadow Venoct replied. Turning to face Kira, Shadow Venoct asked, "Should we take Blizarria over to your place and look after her there?"
"Her ice powers won't make snow inside of my grandmother's living room, will they?" Kira asked in response.
Shaking his head gently in the negative, Shadow Venoct said, "No, it will only affect climate outside. Inside, things will remain the same."
"Good," Kira said as she instructed Venoct to gently pick up the sick Blizarria and carry her over to her grandmother's place. Kira and Atticus then had everyone in the alleyway back up and out, so as to give Venoct room to carry Blizarria out.
A few hours later, Blizarria was sleeping peacefully on the sofa in the living room of Kira's grandmother's place. "Well, that medicine your grandmother provided seems to be working like a charm," Venoct remarked to Kira as they, along with Shadow Venoct and Illuminoct, watched over the sleeping Blizarria.
"Yeah, it seems to be working," Kira said before turning to look out the window; the snow that was falling earlier had stopped, and the sow that was still on the ground was already starting to melt away. "So, if a yo-kai like Blizarria gets sick, their elemental powers can go haywire," Kira remarked. Turning back to face where Blizarria slept, Kira said, "Good to know."
"Yeah, I'm glad we managed to solve the problem with the snow in the summer," Venoct said, "But that's not the only thing on my mind." Leaning back in the chair he was sitting in, Venoct continued, "Atticus befriended a legendary yo-kai. I knew that he was just as connected to the goings-on of yo-kai as us, but for him to actually befriend a legendary yo-kai? How in the heck did he manage that?!"
"And who's to say that Shogunyan is the only legendary yo-kai that Atticus befriended?" Shadow Venoct added, "There's more legendary yo-kai than just Shogunyan, you know."
"Maybe we can try to befriend a legendary yo-kai ourselves?" Kira suggested, a bit of slyness in her tone. Hearing what their human friend had just suggested caught the attention of the Venoct brothers, who all turned to face her.
"Us befriend a legendary yo-kai?" Venoct remarked, "Are you sure you know what you're talking about, Kira?"
"Come on, Venoct," Kira said, "If a group like Atticus and his posse can pull it off, then why not the lot of us? I mean, how hard can it be?"
"Well for starters, most yo-kai out there don't even believe that the legendary yo-kai even exist," Venoct began, "Second off, those that are aware of the fact that the legendary yo-kai do, in fact, exist, don't even know where to start looking."
"I-if I can be so b-bold as to offer s-some advice," a female voice said weakly from off to the side, prompting Kira and the Venoct brothers to turn and face Blizarria, so was awake and trying to prop herself up on the sofa.
"Yo dude, you ought to rest," Illuminoct said as he and the others saw Blizarria try to get up.
"I overheard w-what you guys were talking about a-as I started to w-wake up," Blizarria said weakly as she barely managed to sit herself upright, "A-about trying to g-go about befriending a legendary yo-kai. I have a-an idea on how to d-do that."
"You don't say," Kira remarked in a tone of piqued interest as she and the Venoct brothers regarded the ill S-rank yo-kai.
Nodding slowly, Blizarria said, "Y-you have a Medallium, right, h-human?"
"Yeah, I got one," Kira replied, "Why do you ask?"
"If you m-manage to befriend a certain g-group of eight yo-kai," Blizarria explained, "A p-page near the back of y-your Medallium will l-light up. When that h-happens, it m-means that the medal for a l-legendary yo-kai will pop out."
"So, I just have to go about befriending eight specific yo-kai, and I'll befriend a legendary just like that?" Kira asked, "Well how about that!"
"Hey Blizarria, are you doing okay?" Venoct asked.
"I am w-well enough to sit up and s-speak, albeit weakly," Blizarria was able to get out, "With enough r-rest, I should be g-good to go." The ill S-rank yo-kai reached into her robes, and pulled out something, going slowly due to how under the weather she was. After pulling out her hand, Blizarria opened it, revealing her yo-kai medal. Holding her hand with the medal in Kira's direction, Blizarria said, "T-this is for y-you, human." Cracking a smile that was weak due to sickness, Blizarria weakly asked, "I don't s-suppose I can get y-your name, so I don't h-have to keep r-referring to you as h-human?"
Smiling, Kira said as she accepted Blizarria's yo-kai medal, "My name's Kira. The guys here are Venoct, Shadow Venoct and Illuminoct."
"Well K-Kira, it's nice to g-get to know you," Blizarria said, "I hope w-we can hang out m-more when I'm not s-sick."
"Well that would be-" Kira began to say, but she was cut off by a knock at the front door. "…I'll just be a second," Kira said to her new yo-kai friend as she walked over to the front door to open it. Standing at the door, to Kira's surprise, was Atticus and Kyubi, accompanied by a yo-kai that, aside from a different and darker color scheme, looked exactly like Blizarria.
"Atticus said that my older twin sister might be here and that she's sick," the mystery yo-kai that was with Atticus and Kyubi said, worry clear in her tone and expression, "Is that true?"
"Wait a minute," Kira said, "You're related to-" Kira was unable to finish speaking as the mystery yo-kai rushed past Kira and into the living room. Upon seeing Blizarria laying sick on the couch, the mystery yo-kai cried out in in a mix of surprise and worry.
"Blizarria!" the mystery yo-kai nearly cried, clearly concerned for the sick S-rank yo-kai, "What happened to you?!"
"Damona?" Blizarria said in a confused tone, "How did you find me?"
"Hold on," Venoct said, "How do you two know each other?"
"T-this is Damona," Blizarria explained weakly as she gestured to the mysterious yo-kai, "She is my y-younger twin sister." Turing to face Damona, Blizarria said with an ironic smile, "And to a-answer your question, I ate something that I d-didn't know had gone bad u-until after the fact. I'll b-be fine after I rest f-for a bit. Now a-answer my q-question."
"I befriended a male human named Atticus, and he said that a female human and her group of yo-kai friends brought you here to take care of you," Damona said, somewhat quickly but still perfectly understandable.
As the two sister yo-kai talked to each other, Kira, Atticus and Kyubi watched from the area of the front door. Turning to face Atticus and Kyubi, Kira remarked, "So, you boys managed to get a legendary yo-kai to join your posse. Not bad."
"You know, if you got a Medallium, you can potentially unlock a legendary yo-kai's medal from one of the back-most pages," Atticus replied.
"Yeah, Blizarria already gave me a brief rundown about that stuff," Kira said, "She said that if I befriend eight certain yo-kai, then a page in the back of-" Kira was cut off when Illuminoct cried out in alarm; looking over, Kira, Atticus and Kyubi saw that Damona must have done something to strike Illuminoct, probably for getting too close to Blizarria while she's sick.
The two humans and the nine-tailed fox yo-kai turned back to face each other. "Unlike my brother Darkyubi, I try to give Illuminoct the benefit of the doubt," Kyubi remarked in a casual, conversational tone, "But I'm finding doing so to be harder and hard as time goes on, mostly due to Illuminoct consistently proving my brother's reasoning to be well-founded."
END, YO-KAI WATCH ADVENTURES CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Author's notes:
Now that I got the legendary yo-kai introduced to this story, things are going to be going places. I even already have a plot in mind for the chapter in which Kira befriends her first legendary yo-kai (of course, she's going to befriend one eventually). I have a few other chapters in mind, and I'm debating if I want to do a Thanksgiving-themed chapter for this story or not. I might do so if I can't come up with another chapter idea in the November area, but I have to work around the fact that Japan, where Yo-kai Watch is primarily set, doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving. …Maybe I can have the yo-kai have their own variation of Thanksgiving, and Kira and co. has to help out with setting up or something? I don't know, I'll think about it.
