Back In The Present Time Period…
"Here we are," Inaho said before ringing the doorbell.
"Oh, hey there Inaho and Usapyon," Tomnyan, the American yokai said. "Oh, who are you two?" he asked.
"Hi, I'm Fumi and that's Komasan," Fumi replied.
"They're people who are close to Keita and me," Inaho said as she tried not to tell Tomnyan about their relationship. "Can we speak to Jerry please?" she asked.
"No problem. Jerry, Inaho would like to talk to you for a bit," he said.
"Hi there, what can I do for you?" Jerry asked.
"We were wondering if you have seen or met up with Keita recently?"
"Uh, no, not really. The last time I believe I met up with him passing by, was a few days ago," Jerry responded.
"I see, well thank you anyway," Inaho said.
"Although I remember seeing something glowing in that general direction. Maybe try there? If there's something strange, I'm sure it'll attract his attention," Jerry said.
"Ok, thanks once again," Fumi said this time as the two left in where Jerry pointed.
"What do you think it could be?" Komasan asked.
"We're unsure, but that's why we're heading there," Fumi replied as the group soon found themselves at Mt. Wildwood.
"So, somewhere around here," Inaho said as the group began searching around for anything that could be seen as strange within the nearby bushes, near the tress. As one might expect, the group didn't have much luck until they decided to check further into the forest area before coming across a medium-sized pond.
"I think we should check here too. There has to be something that can help us find Keita," Fumi said before a sound came from nearby as if something was moved from a sudden gust of wind. The group went over to see what looked like a piece of paper that was in a condition that still made it quite legible.
"Let's see," Inaho said. "Chaos emerald? This has to be what Jerry mentioned before," she said while looking at the image of seven gemstones.
"I agree. Having one allows you to harness time and space control and it can sense what you wish for and grants you that. This is what we need to find Keita," Fumi said.
"But how do we find this chaos emerald?" Komasan asked.
"Oh, there's a backside to it," Usapyon said prompting Inaho to flip the paper over.
"As their connection to time and space, one can't find all of them within one period. But the one they can find is usually linked to an important place, where bonds have been made with people," Inaho said.
"So, in our case, that would be somewhere like Mt. Wildwood. I mean, it is a place where we three, would find new yokai to meet for example," Fumi said.
"Well since we're going there anyway, we might as well check the place again," Inaho said as the group went back for another search at Mt. Wildwood. "Hmm, nothing seems different from before," she said.
"Perhaps, it's in a more obvious place," Fumi suggested. "Like over there. Doesn't that seem a bit strange?" she asked. The direction where she was pointing, turned out to be a neighborhood that was started to be covered in a fog, with a peculiar light being somewhat visible.
"I guess, that makes sense. We also do sometimes meet up with each other there and find yokai there as well," Inaho replied before the group soon went into the fog.
"Look, the light's getting brighter," Komasan said as the light started to have its silhouette become clear.
"That has to be what we're looking for," Usapyon said which prompted Hailey Anne to reach for it. But a loud familiar-sounding footstep caught their attention to the group where they saw in front of them, a familiar gigantic figure.
"Gargaros! Why are you here? We were allowed to be outside with our parents' permission," Katie said.
"You're planning something to do with this gemstone, but I won't allow you to get it so easily if you're going to underestimate its power," Gargaros replied before swinging his fist at the group in a threatening manner.
"In that case, come out my friends. Calling Camellia and Shogunyan, yokai medal, do your thing," Katie said while summoning the two yokai.
"Come out my friends, Blizzaria and Statiking, yokai medal do your thing," Inaho said summoning two more yokai.
"We'll join as well, ready Komasan?" Usapyon asked.
"You bet," Komasan replied as the two initiated the first attack of both of their soultimate moves. Those being bunny beam and spirit dance respectively, where a powerful laser beam with purple ghostly flames enveloping it, hit Gargoros. Gargaros soon easily countered back with its iron club knocking the two down for major damage. The red oni then used an incinerate attack, prompting the two yokai who were on the ground, to use another one of their attacks to counteract the incinerate causing both sides to be pushed back a bit.
"Take this," Shogunyan said as he struck Gargaros from behind with his sword after charging past him before using his attack.
"Blizzaria, can you freeze the ground near its feet? It should stop Gargaros from moving around and Statiking, can you attack him from the side?" Inaho asked.
"I understand," Blizzaria responded as she blew some chilly air at Gargaros's feet which started to form ice, hindering its movement. Gargaros then took the chance to hit Blizzaria with its soultimate move, iron anger, which caused her to immediately get smacked to the ground, as she took a lot of damage from that move. While Statiking was able to zap Gargaros before taking some damage from Gargaros's fist. Gargaros soon used an incinerate attack towards Camellia.
"Let's try this," Camellia said as she summoned a flurry of petals from the sky to hit Gargaros before getting scorched by the incoming incinerate.
"Thanks, Camellia. Now's your chance Shogunyan," Katie said.
"Bonito blade," Shogunyan said as he slashed Gargaros once more for more damage. Gargaros was still able to fight through as he readied his iron club but was slow on the draw due to being unable to move as much as Blizzaria froze more of the ground with her soultimate move, shiny snowdrifts that surrounded him, giving Shogunyan the chance to block the attack with his sword.
"Statiking, finish it off," Inaho said, to which her yokai friend used his soultimate move, giga turbocharge, draining Gargaros's energy before healing his allies with that stolen energy.
"I can't lose now," Gargaros said as he still seemed to have some capacity to fight.
"Camellia, do your thing," Fumi said.
"You got it," Camellia said before using her healing aura to soothe Gargaros into not fighting them.
"Alright, I admit defeat. You guys are powerful enough for this chaos emerald. We'll meet again," Gargaros said before disappearing back to his hellish home.
"Alright!" Inaho screamed.
"Thank you all so very much," Katie said to the yokai who fought with them. The yokai simply smiled before the four they summoned, said their goodbyes. The fog started to disappear and soon the light faded and was now replaced with a chaos emerald that bared a nice red hue.
"It's so pretty," Komasan said with sparkles in his eyes.
"I believe, we just need have our thoughts be sensed, which would be to find Nate," Usapyon said.
"Is it ok if I do the honor?" Katie asked.
"No problem! Go for it," Inaho replied as Fumi grabbed ahold of the chaos emerald before concentrating her thoughts. A few moments went by before the group was surrounded in a red light reflecting that of the specific chaos emerald they found before the group vanished.
