Chapter 39

Cave of Chaos

AN: Okay I am back and I am feeling better about this chapter than the last I still think I could have done better with this chapter but it is pretty good. I am betting a few of you can guess the plot to this one but I still hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I still don't own yo-kai watch, if I did then the anime would have been a bit more like this.

"Heck yeah," said Alex as she led the way through mount wildwood on a warm summer afternoon.

"A bit weird doing this in the day," said Eddie who came along with the ghost club and the wildlife club.

"Well this mount has been the place of many sightings both in the night and the day," said Lina.

"You know like Tsuchinokos, mount spirits, odd bug beasts…" listed Zoey.

"And lake creatures," said Bear.

"Seriously guy those are all fake," said Eddie passing off any evidence as fake.

Espy said, "He's just scared to think that we are real same with that Kenny kid."

Toiletta said, "I really wish I could wipe the smug smile off this kid."

Kenny said, "Yeah it's can't be possible."

Eric said, "Don't you guys remember what happened last time." talking about the old mansion.

Nate said, "Yeah that was scary, I can't believe the place actually lit on fire."

Jibanyan said, "Wow, Nyate is getting pretty good at lying."

Whisper said, "I am not sure it's a lie. Nate didn't expect that and you do have to admit Corptain was pretty scary."

Jibanyan said, "actually yeah he was scary."

Toiletta said, "He made us both look like fools."

Lucas asked, "So where are we going this time again?"

Eric said, "Well this time we're going into the abandoned tunnel."

Eddie said, "Hmm this will be interesting the place is filled with minecarts."

Bear said, "Minecarts? Like the mini train thingies."

Kenny said, "I think so, do they work?"

Eddie said, "I think so, that's what the website I was on said."

"Daniel, Mark, and Andy come here all the time I think they said they rode them before," said Alex.

Zoey said, "Even if not I think we'll find something."

Lina said, "Though it would be fun to ride in those old minecarts."

Lucas said, "Like a rollercoaster."

Nate said, "Yeah that sounds fun."

Lucas said, "Looks like we're here." as the group of kids reached the entrance to the dark tunnel.

Kenny and Bear looked a bit scared. Eric and Eddie looked uneasy. Lucas and Nate looked at the cave with a neutral expression while the three girls looked excited to enter the tunnel.

Whisper said, "Ah yes I can already tell this place is going to be filled with yo-kai."

Jibanyan asked, "who the heck would like to spend time in here?"

Toiletta said, "Well we are going in here."

Espy said, "She has a point."

Alex said, "Let's go explore."

"Yeah," said Bear, Eric, and Kenny.

So the group walked into the dark and dank tunnel. Oddly enough the second they got in they saw…

"Oni!" said Zoey and Lina at once as they saw a little blue with a massive hand that Lucas and Nate recognized as Leadoni but what concerned them is that Lina and Zoey didn't have to use the watch on it.

"What the?!" shouted Bear and Eric.

"Cool," said Alex. Kenny and Eddie were in shock and disbelief.

The leadoni said, "What are you doing here, you trespassers. You must want the secret of this place well I won't let you." Leadoni then ran with its massive fist out.

Jibanyan said, "I got this." Jibanyan quickly knocked out the attacking yo-kai with a single punch to the chin causing it to poof into purple smoke.

Alex said, "That was pretty cool. What was that thing?"

Zoey said, "um well that was an oni a little demon that steals kids away."

Lina said, "Yeah luckily it didn't do anything and just poofed away."

Eddie shook himself out of his fear and said, "No, no that was obliviously just some sort of bush that had an animal in it or something."

Bear asked, "Um then how did it talk?"

Eric asked, "yeah and how did it turn into smoke?"

Eddie said, "Um, well it… um, the talking was just the wind of course and the smoke was just because it was a weak bush and that was just dust that flew off of it."

Kenny chimed in and said, "Y-yeah that's right."

Alex said, "Wow Eddie has an answer for everything."

Lucas said, "He does seem to have a knack for that."

Eric said, "Let's keep going maybe we'll find something else like that."

Alex said, "Maybe we might find a real oni."

Nate said, "I really hope not."

Kenny said, "Me too."

Lucas knowing what Nate was talking about said, "Me three."

Bear, Eddie, Alex, Eric, and Kenny when on a bit further.

Bear said, "Woah look I found this weird wheel." as he held a purple steering wheel in his hands. While the five were looking at the wheel with Eddie thinking about what it could do. Alex wondering how it got there, Eric commenting how it was cool, and Kenny thinking it was weird; Nate, Lucas, Lina, and Zoey huddled up right behind with the yo-kai.

Lucas said, "Well that was weird."

Whisper said, "On the contrary, that sort of thing happens all the time, yo-kai forgetting to hide themselves is a common mistake."

Lina said, "I guess we have enough proof of that but something was weird about that."

Nate said, "Yeah, that Leadoni was a bit off."

Zoey said, "It said something about a secret and a 'boss' you think that means there is a powerful yo-kai like Chirpster here or something."

Lucas said, "Maybe in which case we better be prepared to protect everyone else."

Lina said, "Speaking of which Nate can you let me and Zoey get in some fighting too."

Zoey said, "Yeah, I know you have more experience and all but, Lina and I want to show what we can do too."

Toiletta said, "Same with me and Espy."

Espy said, "We need to be strong too."

Nate said, "Sure thing, you think you can handle that Jibanyan."

Jibanyan said, "Sure nyext one is your guys'."

"Woah look at this," said Bear.

"Huh I guess there are mine carts here," said Eddie.

Kenny said, "pretty cool."

Eric said, "Hey there's a lever here."

Alex said, "Let's pull it." as she pulled the lever down to everyone's dismay and surprise. Suddenly the entire tunnel started to rumble like an earthquake.

"Woah!" they all said as the tunnel shook. All the old minecarts seemed to move back into place despite their old, rusty, and abandoned condition.

Bear said, "Alex what the heck."

Eddie said, "At least we know that the mine carts work."

Lucas asked, "But how do they work."

Zoey suggested, "Maybe the spirits have been influencing them and Alex just released them all."

Alex said, "What? Why me?"

Nate said, "Well you did pull the lever."

Lucas said, "Don't worry Zoey is probably just messing with you."

Lina said, "Still, I think we should be cautious especially since our last encounter."

Kenny said, "And these things look rickety."

Zoey asked, "So what are we waiting for someone go in." When no one went in Zoey grabbed Lucas and Eddie by their wrists and said, "Okay then here we go." she jumped in with the two boys much to their shock and horror. As she pulled the lever in the cart. Nothing happened. Both boys were breathing heavily.

Zoey sighed and said, "Ah man."

Nate said, "I guess this one doesn't work."

Bear said, "Shouldn't the other ones work, we did see them move, right?"

Lina said, "That makes sense and we didn't see this one move."

Kenny said, "I guess this one is the only busted one then."

Eric said, "Well there is still plenty to explore."

Alex said, "Yeah." The two boys were still petrified after the stunt Zoey pulled with the both of them. Lucas' aghast expression was a sight almost no one had seen. Lucas rarely showed much emotion like this mist of the time it was a mild expression but this was very different. Eddie had only donned the face he wore when he stuck a peek at a horror movie, a bit too scary for him when he was much younger. Out of every ghost they saw in the ghost hunter's club combined they still stood no chance as to how scary Zoey was. Nate helped guide Eddie and Lina guided Lucas. They found a cliff on the left side of the cave so they went to the right where they found another minecart.

"Ooh another one," said Alex. Lucas and Eddie then backed away from Zoey who then said, "I think this one works."

Eric said, "It looks like it gets to that side with the cliff."

Alex said, "Then there is only one option let's go." Alex was the one this time to pull both Eric and Kenny into the Minecarts and she pulled the lever causing them to rush at fast speeds all three of them were screaming but for different reasons. Alex was excited and exhilarated, Kenny was scared out of his mind, and Eric was still confused and surprised. When the three got off Kenny tried to hug the ground while Eric was still in awe of what just happened.

Alex said, "Okay now to go back around." Alex then hit the other lever sending her back the way she came. Alex picked up two at a time first Lina and Zoey, then Nate and Bear, and finally Lucas and Eddie. It was just a straight line but it was still pretty fast and with the cart making so many odd noises it was hard not to be scared.

Eric said, "Well I looked at the cave from here it looks like those two paths loop and that one over there with the bridge goes deeper in."

Lina said, "I think we should check out the loop."

Zoey said, "Yes I feel like we should check every nook and cranny of this place."

Eddie stopped shaking and said, "Sure, but no matter how hard you try you won't find anything."

Bear said, "Well come on time's a' wasting." So the group of explorers went around the loop but found nothing.

Jibanyan said, "Huh I feel like there is something here but I can't put my finger on it." as he was just staring at a wall of the tunnel.

Whisper said, "Don't be ridiculous that's just a plain old wall."

Toiletta said, "You know I feel like there is something there too."

Whisper said, "You are both being ridiculous."

Espy said, "You guys need to stop arguing we need to keep up with the kids."

Bear said, "Well that was a bust."

Nate said, "Yeah but there is still plenty of cave to explore."

Lucas said, "Yeah, there is still a chance to find something."

Kenny shuddered, "G-guys... what is t-that?" Nate and Lucas recognized the thing in front of them as a Payne.

Payne said, "Ooh so you guys got past the runt Leadoni well you won't beat me and crew." Payne called on two Akes who came quickly to his side further scaring the kids.

Zoey said, "I can take this one and I'll only need half of my team." Zoey activated her watch forming a ring of medals to appear around her watch. She then folded the ring in half to make a semi-circle with only three medals.

Espy said, "Our time to shine I guess."

Zoey said, "Calling the ghostly souls from beyond, yo-kai medal unleash." The watch hand landed on Suspiconi.

Summoning Shady

Marvelous thee

Gusty free

Banshee

Sing song

Shady

Suspiconi

The dark blue Oni appeared infront of them with its three red eyes, along with what seemed to be a floating fox pup with pink fur holding onto a giant red heart and of course Espy.

Nate said, "Wait you can do that with the watch and you who is that yo-kai." but not in a shout so no one but Lucas and Whisper could hear him.

Lucas said, "Yeah you can take medals off of the team function before you summon them just in case something happens or you just want to summon a few friends. Pretty cool."

Whisper said, "That's Shmoopie."

Nate said, "Shmoopie!?" confused that Zoey would befriend such a yo-kai.

Zoey said, "What I'm not all creepy besides Shmoopie makes for a good healer."

Lina said, "I see you forgot to include Corptain again."

Zoey said, "No I only put him in the back so I only use him when we really need him." Luckily all the other kids were too focused on Payne and his two Akes to notice what Zoey just did.

Payne said, "You trespassers are in for a world of hurt."

The Akes said, "Yeah!" as they all rushed at the kids. Espy being in her element used the rocks in the cave to pelt the brutes the Akes took damage but to Payne, it felt like pillows instead of pebbles. Lina tossed a couple of talismans to the yo-kai giving them more speed and strength. Shmoopie dodged all the Akes' attempts at attacks while Suspiconi causes them to turn on one another eventually beating each other into submission. Espy kept dodging each of Payne's attacks every single punch. Suspiconi inspirited him and soon Payne started fighting himself each of his attacks dealing massive damage to himself. Zoey's yo-kai friends defeated all their opponents all of them turning into purple smoke.

Alex said, "Nice. What was that?"

Eddie said, "Um… uh… ur… it was just… um… some… urh oil drums I bet, yeah and the noise was just the wind again and um the rocks just fell destring the drums."

Zoey said, "Well the wind sure is talkative today." with her wicked grin aimed at Eddie glare somehow shinning off her glasses sending a chill down Eddie's spine.

Bear asked, "What was it you threw Lina?"

Lina explained, "Oh those were Talismans to help our spirit friends fight the bad spirits."

Bear said, "Well I guess I better buy some at the shrine next time then."

Eric said, "Yeah me too."

Kenny said, "Guys look what I found a can of Payne oil?" Kenny found a metal green can of oil that Payne dropped as he was defeated.

Lucas said, "huh maybe it's used for the carts."

Eddie said, "Probably."

Zoey said, "Come on let's keep going. We still need something to convince this non-believer."

Alex said, "Yeah so far this has been really cool." the two girls lead the way deeper into the cave finding another loop this one going around a secret room but they didn't have the key so they couldn't open it so they continued until they found nothing more other than another minecart.

Whisper said, "hmm there seems to be quite a few of these connecting the tunnel."

Alex said, "Well I guess it's time to go back into the minecarts again." with an excited smile on her face.

Bear said, "That was fun I'll come."

Nate said, " I guess I will too." So they both jumped in the minecart with Alex yet right as she was about to pull the lever in the cart Jibanyan found another lever outside the car behind a rock.

Jibanyan couldn't help but pull the lever, "Ooh." Jibanyan pulled the lever. So right as the cart was zooming at fast speeds it suddenly changed direction heading over to a smaller rock in the tunnel. The shift was surprising to the three in the minecart as they got out of the cart Nate didn't find anything except an odd bell, like the one Jibanyan was equipped with.

Nate said in his mind, "Jibanyan! If I could I would kill you again." Jibanyan gulped at what he did and whistled like he didn't do it but no one who could see him bought his act. Luckily the kids found the lever and they made it to where they were supposed to be after a few trips.

For them, it was mostly just wall until they found it. 'It' was a signiton and like Payne and Leadoni everyone could it. Again like the Payne and Leadoni, it got mad at the sight of humans and immediately tried to zap them away.

Signiton said, "You better get out of here, you don't want to mess with me and my Signibbles. Two Signibbles came from nowhere and started zapping as well. This time everyone really was scared.

Nate was about to summon a yo-kai but Lucas stopped him gesturing towards Lina who prepared to summon her yo-kai friends. Lina like Zoey flipped the ring formed by her watch into a semi-circle.

Lina said, "Calling the spirits from the spirit world, yo-kai medal unlock this power." The watch hands landed on Toiletta's medal.

Summoning

Lookie-lee Lookie-lee

Flippidy-dee

Lookie-lee Lookie-lee

Bubba

Eerie

Toiletta

Alongside Toiletta, Mirapo and Reuknight were summoned.

"Your friends won't be able to take use on, full power guys," said Signiton as they all exploded with electrical energy. Luckily for the kids, Mirapo was able to reflect the powerful electrical attack and Reuknight spun his spear to not only block the electrical attack but to send it back with a little boast from his own lightning attack. Toiletta used her drain ability to absorb the jolt of lightning and then cursed both Signibbles causing them to become vulnerable to their own attacks. Both Signibbles were knocked out by their own attacks. Signiton was angered by that and tried to knock out Mirapo but Reuknight blocked the punch by jumping in front of Mirapo. Toiletta and Mirapo took this time to drain Signiton of its energy. Reuknight then finished Signiton off with a stab.

Zoey said, "Nice job Lina, that was pretty quick."

Lucas said, "You seem to have gotten really good at this."

Nate asked, "Hey Eddie you got an explanation for this one?"

Kenny said, "Y-y-yeah of course he does."

Eddie said, "I do? Oh yeah, I do, um… uh… um… That was probably just some old engine that exploded or something."

Eric said, "That was pretty weak but okay."

Bear said, "Guys I found this weird thing." Bear found a small yellow and black engine.

Alex said, "huh so we found an engine, a wheel, and some oil."

Eddie said. "Hey, maybe we can fix that first cart with these."

Kenny said, "I guess then we aren't done exploring yet."

So the group of kids and yo-kai walked back to the start of the tunnel and Bear and Eddie worked together to fix the final cart.

Bear said, "Okay finally finished."

Alex said, "You guys are pretty cool."

Eddie said, "Yup so come on let's go to that final section of this tunnel." After a few trips, the whole group was on another part of the tunnel. It was mostly empty, like a wide, open room.

Lina tensed up a bit Lucas asked, "What's wrong Lina."

Zoey asked, "Yeah what's up."

Lina said, "There is something big here."

Eddie said, "Yeah right."

Whisper said, "I think Eddie is right this time I don't see a thing."

Jibanyan said, "I hate to agree with Whisper but I don't see anything either nyan."

Toiletta said, "I can't see anything either but I trust Lina." Suddenly the earth shook again.

Everyone said, "Woah!" with a puff of smoke a giant floating head in a wheel came out.

The wheel said, "who dares trespass into my home with muddy shoes." This time Eddie had no explanation and everyone was scared even the yo-kai with them.

Bear said, "Quick use your talisman things."

Lina said, "I think we would need a lot more talismans." Nate prepared to fight with his watch but Lucas stopped him.

Lucas said, "Mind if I step in Lina and Zoey got their time to shine, I feel like I want to take a try at it too."

Nate said, "Sure besides I am enjoying this break."

Jibanyan said, "Hey can I join you though I hardly got any training in today."

Lucas said, "It would be an honor to fight with you Jibanyan."

Jibanyan said, "Yes!"

Lucas said, "I guess I'll just need to take this medal off." Lucas activated his yo-kai watch and he took a single medal from his watch. "Calling great spirits, with the power embedded in this watch I call upon thee." His watch glowed bright and out came a powerful spiral of light.

Summoning Slippery

Trippery

Gippery

Slimey-wimey do

Slippery

Bloominoko! And friends

The pink elusive snake yo-kai appeared with Blizzaria, Tengu, Cruncha, and Hornaplenty. The five yo-kai looked ready to fight and Jibanyan joined them. They all smiled before looking towards the raging wheel.

Lucas asked, "You guys wanna fight too?"

Toiletta said, "No I am still tired from fighting that big brute with the lightning."

Espy said, "Thanks but no thanks, I would rather just watch this one."

Lina asked, "Who even is this yo-kai?"

Whisper said, "This is Duwheel a very two-faced yo-kai one second he is all happy and cheerful the next he is an explosion of rage. His wheel is filled with yo-kai energy hit the right wisp and you deal powerful damage hit the wrong wisp and he can counter-attack.

Blizzaria said, "This guy will be a piece of cake." as she conjured an icy wind attack which almost hit one of the wisps but the wisp in question flared up and blocked the attack and did burning damage to Blizzaria.

Duwheel said, "Incorrect."

Cruncha was the next to try and he pinched the wisp below the one Blizzaria hit but he was burned in the process being hit by the flare of the wisp.

Duwheel said, "Wrong again." before also bitting Tengu.

Hornaplenty said, "Take this." before flinging a rock at Duwheel in another wisp but that one flared up too sending a flaming rock back at the beetle yo-kai.

Tengu said, "Maybe this is it." sending a powerful gust of wind hitting the wisp above the one the last beetle yo-kai hit. This only heated up the flame more dealing damage to Tengu. Duwheel then headbutted Hornaplenty.

Jibanyan said, "Then it has to be this last one." Jibanyan jumped as high as possible and punched the final wisp doing some damage. Lucas then hit Duwheel with a red pin from his watch in the spot Jibanyan struck and in that moment Duwheel was hit by blasts of ice and wind as well as several punches and kicks. Duwheel took a lot of damage in those few seconds.

"How dare you, Urrh," said Duwheel before spinning his wheel again. Bloominoko was healing and inspiriting everyone with good effects.

Nate said, "Keep up the good work guys."

Lina said, "Yeah you're doing great."

Zoey said, "Just gotta keep this up."

Toiletta said, "You show 'um guys."

Espy said, "He is weakening."

Lucas said, "You got this." Jibanyan tried to punch the top wisp again but then it flared up and Jibanyan was hurt. "Ow nyan."

Tengu said, "He pulled a fast one on us."

Cruncha said, "I guess we'll just have to find it again." Blizaria hit another wisp but it did damage to her and the same happened to Tengu.

Hornaplenty and Cruncha attacked at the same time and Hornaplenty took the fire while Cruncha dealt damage. Lucas re-aimed the pin and Duwheel felt another jolt of pain from the attacks. After two cycles Duwheel was already getting tired and things were only going to get worse soon Hornaplent learned they could just attack Duwheel in the face and forget about his ring. After that, it was all over for Duwheel who was attacked again and again dealing little damage that was quickly healed away by Bloominoko. Duwheel couldn't take it anymore and changed into its other form it was now a being of pure rage the change was enough to make Eddie and Kenny faint. Duwheel now spit fire doing massive damage to Blizzaria and chipping off Jibanyan energy. Bloominoko was feeling the heat too. Yet Duwheel was almost finished.

In a final attempt to win Duwheel used the last of its energy to unleash its soultimate.

Duwheel said, "Redsplosion." releasing his anger in a wave of fire and heat. Blizzaria, Jibanyan, Bloominoko, and even Tengu were almost knocked out unable to continue but after that attack, Duwheel turned back to its normal blue face. Just a couple more attacks and it fell defeated. Alex, Eric, Bear, Nate, Lina, and Zoey let out a breath of relief. Lucas gave his yo-kai friends plus Jibanyan food and snacks.

Alex said, "Wow you must have some powerful friends on the other side."

Bear said, "No dull moment with you guys that's for sure, I know I should be scared and all but I can't help be feel a rush when something like this happens."

Eric said, "Same here, I see why you guys like finding ghosts so much now."

Lucas said, "Well we better get these two back out of the tunnel."

Alex said, "Don't worry I got them." Alex slowly lifted both into the cart and then made her way back to the other side.

Lina said, "Hey what is this." Lina found some sort of giant wig.

"THAT'S MINE!" said Duwheel as he came back in an explosion of purple smoke.

The booming voice and the sudden reapearance of the massive yo-kai caused both Bear and Eric to faint.

"This place and that wig are both mine. You may be strong but I won't give up my secrets that easily." said Duwheel.

Lina said, "Here you go." as she handed Duwheel back his wig.

Zoey said, "We aren't here to steal anything my friends and I were just exploring."

Lucas said, "We didn't mean to intrude."

Nate said, "Yeah we're sorry."

Duwheel turned red but this time not out of anger but rather than out of embaracement, "Oh, I am sorry then too I overreacted. Um, well you kids should be careful out there but it seems like you have quite a few powerful friends. Um here take some of this treasure I have collected over the years feel free to take what ever you like I have more than I know what to do with." Duwheel gestured behind him where there were several giant chests filled with random yo-kai treasures. Ranging from rings and bagdes to bells and dolls. There were even pieces of quipment that Nate had never seen before or Lucas either for that matter. Lucas took a couple things, Lina and Zoey tried finding really good equipment, Whisper took a bunch of golden and silver dolls, Toiletta and Jibanyan seemed to be searching for something in specific but couldn't find it, Espy just helped Zoey and Lina, Lucas' friends just looted for themselves taking a few rare items but what intreged Nate the most was a blue key card that looked almost exactly like his yellow one from the wildlife club but in blue.

Whisper said, "Huh I guess you are getting into card collecting then Nate." seeing Nate pick up the blue card.

Nate said, "The one Alex gave us when we found that hideout in the sewers looks just like this I wonder if they're connected."

Duwheel said, "Huh well you know I get many vistors from the sewers maybe one of them lost it here either way it is yours if you like."

Nate said, "Thanks."

Alex came back and said, "Woah what happend to these two." apparently Duwheel was now invisble to Alex considering her made tow other kids faint, "I guess we can't handle all these scares. It was really fun exploring with you guys but I think after this one we're going to have to go our sperate ways."

Lina said, "Okay then if you find anything ghostly tells please."

Alex said, "Sure thing."

Soon the whole group got out of the tunnel feeling great. The four boys woke up and they left the tunnel together before all the kids went there separte way at the bottom of mount wildwood. Bringing the story of the ghost hunters and wildlife club aliance to an end.

AN: Yet again another boss is defeated a whole new area is introduced, Lucas, Lina, and Zoey get a chance to shine. I put Lucas up against Duwheel because well when you face him you are usually in post-game and he just seems weak compared to your overpowered team. So that's how I wrote this battle plus Lucas doesn't get to do much fighting so here it is. Though I said this is th end for the ghost club and wildlife club I don't really mean that but you'll just have to wait to see what I mean Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it. Happy Birthday DragonBladeB5
