Disclaimer:
I don't own Harvest Moon or it's characters, Natsume does. But Drake & Radford Arcwing are dudes created by me, If they somehow are similar to any real person (alive or dead) is coincidental. Oh yeah, that goes the same for Vincent McLaren & Nate.

[A Harvest Moon Vacation]


CHAPTER 12, SUMMER : MEET ISLUDE


------1:40 PM, SUMMER 8th, YEAR 3------


*Cliff runs away instinctively*


VOICE : Hello!


KAI : Huh?


*Karen & Kai look closer*


KAREN : Are you a...


VOICE : Yup!


*The thing that popped from the bush was a...*


CHEF : It's me, budum.


*... Harvest Sprite*


KAREN : You scared the creeps out of us...


CHEF : Sorry, I was just wondering why things got noisy, budum.


KAI : Aren't you supposed to stay at the town?


CHEF : Well, we took a ride. Where the townspeople go, we follow, budum.


KAREN : Aren't there supposed to be more of you?


CHEF : Oh, yes. Come on out guys! Budum.


*The Harvest Sprites some out one by one*


*Then they all lined up in a row*


*Chef, Nappy, Hoggy, Timid, Bold, Aqua & Staid line up*


KAREN : I see... So where do you guys plan to stay at Moon Island?


CHEF : Here & there, we'll find a place, budum.


KAI : I was always wondering...


AQUA : What is it, budum?


KAI : What do you guys do for fun?


CHEF : My, do you really want to know, budum?


KAI : Yeah...


*Chef whispers into Kai's ear*


CHEF : *whisper* budum...


KAI : What the hell?! *Eyes open wide*


KAREN : What is it?


KAI : *Steps back from sprites* No... You don't mean...


CHEF : Now that you know, we must eliminate you... budum.


KAREN : What is it Kai?


KAI : They, they, they...


KAREN : What Kai?


KAI : We have to run!!!!


*Kai grabs Karen's hand and they run*


CHEF : You can run from us... budum. But you cannot hide... budum. Resistance is futile, budum! *Eyes glow red*


KAREN : *Seeing the eyes glow* Did their eyes... just glow red?!


KAI : No... time... to... explain....


KAREN : Why?


KAI : We need... to get... away... from those... sprites!


KAREN : I'm getting... tired... from running...


KAI : *Stops running* I think we lost 'em...


*Chef appears from the bush in front of them*


CHEF : Do not resist us, Kai... budum *Eyes glow again*


KAI : No~!!!!


*Kai & Karen run again*


KAREN : Those sprites are getting scary...


*Chef floats and flies next to Kai*


CHEF : Resistance is futile... budum. You cannot escape us... budum. *Eyes glow & grins*


*Chef's head turns around like in Exorcist*


KAI : He~lp!!!


*Kai & Karen eventually get to exit the Eco-Reserve*


*They encounter Cliff*


CLIFF : What's wrong Kai?


KAI : *Panting* Evil... Sprites... behind.... us...


CLIFF : Where?


*Looks over Kai's shoulder and sees Chef's head turning*


CLIFF : Ahhh!!!!


*They run until they reach the captain's cabin*


KAI : *Bashing the door* Captain!! Let us in!!


*Vincent opens door and sprays Kai with pepper spray*


KAI : *Scratching eyes* Ahh!! My eyes!!


VINCENT : Oh, sorry. Come in...


*They barely make it inside without the sprites*


*Bashing sounds at the door*


KAI : Those evil sprites...


CLIFF : I always noticed there was something wrong with those things...


KAREN : What happened to them? I always thought they were fun-loving little guys...


KAI : Sure, until they roast you alive and take your soul...


KAREN : Really?


VINCENT : Whoa... Hold on there... Those sprites aren't normal...


KAI : Damn right!


VINCENT : I mean, I think they might be possessed...


KAREN : Really?


*Kai reaches for his cellphone*


KAI : When there's something strange in the neighborhood...


VINCENT : Who are you gonna call?


KAREN & CLIFF : GHOST BUSTERS!!


KAI : No... Islude...


VINCENT, CLIFF & KAREN : Who?!


KAI : Islude... The famous fortune-teller and ghost exorcist...


VINCENT Oh... I heard of her once... She says she can repel evil with a sword...


KAI : No... That's Sakura...


KAREN : Oh... the one who uses a gun to exterminate demons?


KAI : No, that's Genjo...


CLIFF : What about the ones who strip their clothes to kill evil?


KAI : Huh?


CLIFF : Nevermind...


KAI : *To his phone* Hello? Islude? Uh huh... I see... Okay... It's alright... Sure... Got it... See you!


*Hangs up*


KAREN : What did she say?


KAI : She said that she needs us to open a portal for her here...


VINCENT : How would that be possible?


KAI : Can we use your rug?


VINCENT : Uh... I guess...


*Kai grabs rug and makes a hole in the middle*


VINCENT : *Jaw drops* My... My... rug... My Eastern Taisen rug...


*Kai starts chanting*


VINCENT : *Weeping over his rug*


KAREN : *Looks in awe as Kai begins to levitate*


CLIFF : *Stares* *Drools*


*Then a portal opens from the rug and Islude comes out*


*Islude looks like a guy in a cloak, about 6'2" with one hand sticking out and holding an orb in it, his cloak is bright red. His face barely showing except for his bright blue-green eyes and some of his blonde hair. And he has a strange aura*


KAI : Islude!!


KAREN : Weirdo!


VINCENT : My rug...


CLIFF : *Drools*


ISLUDE : Greetings Kai... Karen, Cliff and Vincent. It's nice to see you again...


VINCENT : *Looks at Islude* Y-Your...


ISLUDE : Silence Vincent... I know.


VINCENT : But...


ISLUDE : Kai, Where are the posessed little bas... *Coughs and corrects himself* I mean, where are the poor souls?


KAI : *Points to the door*


ISLUDE : Let them in...


KAREN : Cliff, open.


CLIFF : *Stops drooling* Oh, alright.


*Cliff opens the door*


*Chef steps inside and turns his head*


CHEF : I love doing that, budum!


ISLUDE : Oh sh... *Corrects himself again* I mean, evil souls.


CHEF : *Sees Islude* Oh hell, budum!


ISLUDE : CLEANSE EVIL!!!


*A light comes from the floor and shines on the sprites*


CHEF : No~, budu~m!!!!


*The light fades and Harvest Sprites fall unconscious*


VINCENT : What just happened?


ISLUDE : My duty is done... I shall see you again... I'll return these sprites...


*Sprites disappear*


*Exits through the rug*


VINCENT : My rug...


KAI : Hurrah~!!!


CLIFF : Yahoo!


KAREN : Thank goodness...


VINCENT : My rug...


KAI : It's alright... The sprites are gone...


VINCENT : *Turns to Kai* My rug...


*Vincent starts to strangle Kai and wrestles him to the ground*


VINCENT : My rug...


KAI : Karen... call... Islude again... I think the cap's possessed...


VINCENT : *Snaps out* Whoa... Sorry Kai... You wrecked my favourite rug...


KAI : Well, it's alright now...


*Vincent punches Kai and knocks him out*


VINCENT : That's for my rug...


KAREN : Now, we just have to worry about the Sephyn...


VINCENT : Sephyn?


KAREN : Don't play dumb, we know about the Sephyn...


VINCENT : The old folk tale?


KAREN : The one on one of your ships years ago...


VINCENT : You mean... err... my dad's...


KAREN : Whatever... Anyway, we know...


VINCENT : What makes you think the Sephyn's here?


KAREN : Lights go out and the speakers...


VINCENT : Oh hell...


KAREN : You can't hide it...


VINCENT : We'll be docking soon, in about an hour or so...


KAREN : So?


VINCENT : We just need to get everyone gathered and secured in one place till we can get off the ship...


KAI : How do we do that?


VINCENT : Let's go to the Emergency Station...


CLIFF : Alright. let's go!
