"Speech."
'Thoughts.'
"ATTACK!"
"Japanese. (Translated)"
"Yokai. Invisible beings that exists within your world. They always cause trouble without you ever even noticing. Whether you suddenly hot and cold at the same time? Or when you're feeling env-"
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"
Cosmonyan suddenly kicked Whisper off his chair. The pitch black room was lit completely, revealing the bright and colorful background.
"OW! You again!?", Whisper shouted in anger at Cosmonyan for interrupting his speech.
"Duh. Like I said a thousand times, who wants to listen to that boring speech of yours?", Cosmonyan said dismissively.
"Why I oughta-"
*BAM!*
Cosmonyan whacked Whisper's head with a mallet, knocking him out.
"That should shut him up.", he said before storing the mallet into his jetpack.
"*ahem* Now where were we?", Cosmonyan rubbed his chin as he sat down on Whisper's chair.
"Oh yeah!", he then turned on a screen, displaying the Yokai Watch.
"The Yokai Watch is a tool that let's any wearer see and interact with Yokai. With a tool like this, we will finally bridge the gap between the Human World and the Yokai World!", the cat Yokai spun around happily. "I mean, how cool is that!?"
Then Cosmonyan glanced at Whisper groaning as if he's waking up.
Cosmonyan paled before whispering to the audience, "Uh oh. Looks like I only have a few seconds left to tell you that this author does not own Mega Man Star Force nor Yokai Watch, since those two belonged to Capcom and Level-5 respectively."
"COSMONYAN!!!", Whisper shouted angrily offscreen.
"MUSIC START!", Cosmonyan shouted before flying away.
"I'M GONNA SMITE YOU, FURBALL!", Whisper was flailing his own hammer while chasing Cosmonyan.
Playing BGM (DiVE! - Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters - English Cover)
Four silhouettes power walked as the music began playing.
Transition to Leon, Sonia, Solo, and then Geo, who held up his Yokai Watch as it glowed.
"AI" just wanna DiVE into the future!
Geo and Omega-Xis were walking around Springdale when a yellow flaming wisp floated towards to them.
Maybe you could come along?
Said wisp transformed into Cosmonyan, much to the duo's surprise.
Follow me that way,
Several transitions, first where Cosmonyan emerged from a Crank-a-kai capsule opened by Geo, startling him.
Leading the pathway, baby!
Second, as Geo and Omega-Xis were sitting on a grassy hill, Cosmonyan gets chased by a curiously stray dog.
Now we're turned on!
Third, Geo, Omega-Xis and Cosmonyan gazed at the whole view of Springdale.
Don't you hesitate to take that that first step!
Wait and see how far you'll come!
Geo was falling in an unknown space when spectral energy surrounded his left wrist, forming a Yokai Watch.
The journey is fruitful!
We're living our youthful freedom!
Curiously, Geo slowly touched the button on the watch, causing it to glow brightly
The scene changed to the trademark "Yokai Watch" title. Then some data chunks materialized under the title before turning into words, forming the title of the fanfic.
[Yokai Watch: Shooting Star]
...
You can ride and run the code.
Geo was leaning on the classroom wall of Springdale Elementary, fiddling with his Hunter-VG. Katie, Bear and Eddie were playing some sort of multiplayer game. Bear gripped his hair in frustration, presumably losing the game. Geo chuckled in amusement. A transparent figure of Cosmonyan saluted the audience before flying away.
Hero up and break the mode.
Sonia, with Lyra floating next to her, was singing alongside the Next HarMEOWny girls on stage. A transparent figure of Blizzaria winked adorably and blew a snowy kiss at the audience before flying away. Geo was still fiddling with his Hunter-VG, leaning on a street lamp in front of the Next HarMeowny stage.
Know this,
Leon was walking along the streets of Springdale chatting with Luna, Bud and Zack. A transparent figure of Blazion was punching at the audience with literal fiery passion before flying away. Geo, again was leaning on another street lamp, doing the same thing.
Hold this,
Scene transitioned to night time at the same place. Only this time it was Solo, walking in the opposite direction with his Wizard, Laplace. A transparent figure of Chansin gave the audience a stoic glare.. Geo still leaned at the same area doing the same thing.
And don't forget to trust your heart.
Nate, Whisper and Jibanyan walked towards Geo at the school staircase, both Yokai Watch users greeted each other with a fist bump.
Here on out it's you and me,
Geo turned his head around in curiosity. Then his eyes widened.
Breaking ground for all to see,
He was suddenly in the Yokai World! With several Yokai wandering around.
Just text me where you wanna start!
Cosmonyan floated towards him and Omega-Xis with joy. All while being surrounded by other friendly Yokai.
(And we'll go, bro!)
Geo's Yokai Watch spun as Cosmonyan's medal magically inserted itself into the watch.
If you can't handle or keep the pace,
If you're not packing the system space,
A Wicked Tribe symbol appeared from a wisp, revealing the Wicked Executives, who were rendered in silhouettes, except for their red glowing eyes.
I'll take your hand and make a plan to pave the way!
After the Executives came Kin, Gin and Bronzlow. Behind them is a large shadowy figure reaching it's hand out as if to try and grab the reader.
Then the scene changed to Rogue arming himself with his Laplace Sword and a Yokai Sword!
"AI" just wanna DiVE into the future!
Harp Note strummed her guitar to empower Blizzaria with Charming Yokai Energy, then fired her Shock Note attack while Blizzaria unleashed her Soultimate, "Shiny Snowdrifts" alongside her.
Maybe you could come along?
Camo Leon, being Inspirited by Blazion (evidenced by his glowing red irises and a ghostly form of Blazion behind him mimicking his movements), roared confidently before unleashing Blazion's Soultimate, "Blazing Fist".
Follow me that way, leading the pathway, baby!
Mega Man fired his Charge Shot alongside Cosmonyan, who unleashed his Soultimate, "Galaxy Blaster". Both projectiles created an explosion engulfing some Terror Time Yokai.
Now we're turned on!
Gargaros emerged from the explosion and slammed his club at the duo, forcing them to split up.
Time to make a mark on all the textbooks!
Cosmonyan tossed Mega Man a Goldenyan Medal. Mega Man inserted the Medal into his Yokai Watch as spectral energy began to form around the watch.
Everyone will know our names!
An arm and a leg popped out of some sort of spectral cloud, revealing Iron Catbot.
It's ours for the taking, the Universe waiting untamed!
Iron Catbot crossed his arms to charge up his chest laser, then spread them wide apart to fire the laser, which is actually his Soultimate, "Super Star Beam"!
...
Scene transitioned to the front lot of Springdale Elementary, where Luna was pressing her glasses proudly, posing alongside Bud and Zack, as well as their Wizards Vogue, Ophiuca, Taurus, and Pedia.
Then Nate, who was trying to pose for the camera, gets squished by Whisper and Jibanyan trying to hog the screen.
Then the scenery changed to a Next HarMEOWny stage. Sonia, in one of her idol costumes, pointing and winking at the audience, with Lyra and Blizzaria posing alongside her.
Then scene transition to some Yokai such as Goldenyan, Tattletell, Noway, and Komasan.
Then next scenery changed to the Mount Millwood Temple. Leon lifted his cap up, smiling and pumping his fist alongside Camo and Blazion.
Next scene transitioned to several Legendary Yokai, all in silhouettes with glowing red eyes.
Then scene transitioned to a dark space where Solo, Laplace and Chansin were standing next to each other, glaring at the audience.
Final scene transitioned to Geo, Sonia, Leon, and Solo standing together with their respective Wizards and Yokai partners. All looking at the audience with confidence in their eyes. Surrounded by several Yokai Medals.
(End of song)
……..Part 1: Hot Love, Cold Heart……
Geo and his friends had just walked back from the Springdale Elementary to Tranquility Apartment.
"I'm still processing the fact that you're able to convince all of our families to transfer us to this school, Prez.", Geo told Luna curiously.
"Trade secret, Geo. Don't question it.", the bespectacled girl winked.
Leon shrugged, "I tried. Brain's still conking.", Leon tapped his capped head.
"But since today was the first two days at school, we should call it a day.", she then clapped her hands, "Free time, boys!"
"Welp. Bud and I will be checking out Shoppers Row. I heard there's plenty of comic books and restaurants.", Zack adjusted his glasses.
Leon popped out the roller skates under his shoes. "I'm gonna skate around the town. Gotta let loose.", Leon said while shuffling his roller skates enthusiastically.
"Well I'm going to meet up with a few girls from our new class to check our clothes stores in Shoppers Row.", Luna said before coughing, "*ahem* And not because I wanted to find out more about the paranormal activity in this town.", she put her arm over her mouth to hide her blushing cheeks. "Sure you do, Prez.", Geo rolled his eyes.
"What about you, Geo? Any plans for today?", she asked him.
"W-well. I'm gonna rest at the apartment today. Got homework to do.", Geo replied nervously. 'Though mostly to adjust to my new life with Yokai.', he kept the part to himself.
Luna sighed. "We all have homework, Geo. But I guess you do you. Just don't shut in too frequently.", she advised him as everyone went their separate ways. "Yeah. What she said.", Leon grinned.
As soon as everyone was out of sight, Cosmonyan appeared. "Don't like the Sun so much, buddy?", he joked.
Geo shook his head, "No. I'm just trying to get used to my new life now that I have a ghost for a roommate.", he said as he walked towards his room, "I think I'll just rest inside for today."
But as soon as he opened the door, he suddenly started sweating bullets. His body felt heavier and his head feels fuzzy.
"That's weird. I don't remember buying a heater.", Geo said groggily while wiping the sweat off his forehead.
Then Cosmonyan's antenna began blinking loudly. "WHOA!!! There's tons of Yokai energy in this room!", he rolled midair. "Shine your Yokai Watch here!", he said.
Geo wanted to find a scientific evidence for this as usual, but since today isn't too sunny to heat up the room, and the fact that Cosmonyan's "Yokai Radar" was beeping like crazy, he didn't have a choice but to do what he says.
As he shined the light at the living room, he found not one, but four spectral orbs of energy around the table! Red, pink, orange and purple. Each orb eventually reveal themselves to be hot-themed Yokai.
The Yokai from the red orb resembled a short humanoid lion with a white cross scar on his forehead. His mane and eyebrows are burning flames and his fur is orange. He has large hands and forearms with red spirals on them. He wears a sleeveless grey-black martial artist robe. He is short but his mane is about half his height.
The second Yokai derived from the orange orb is a large pudgy, fair-skinned creature with two small red horns on top of his head, and thick lips. He is always sweating, with the droplets oozing out of his body. He wears red trousers with black tiger stripes, and goes barefoot. He is seen wiping his face with a white sweat towel on his right hand.
The third Yokai derived from the purple orb is a large pig-like creature with a round belly and a puckered belly button, with a single horn, thick purple lips and drooping ears, and his green tongue is always hanging out. He wears a yellow swimming mask, a grey towel tied around his shoulder and two wrist bands, as well as white boxers and a blue loin cloth with a hot spring symbol on it. He carries a bath bucket in each hand.
And last but not least, the Yokai derived from the pink orb resembled a red humanoid chihuahua. The inside of his ears and the bottom of his cape are yellow, but most of his cape is pale pink-ish.
Geo sweated more profusely, proving that those Yokai are the sources of the intense heat. He gave his Cat Yokai partner an exasperated glare, "Cosmonyan. Did you invite them here?"
Cosmonyan shook his head frantically, "Ack! Nyo! I nyever even met them!", he said angrily, not liking his partner blaming him. Geo sighed apologetically, "Sorry. I'm just surprised to find uninvited guests in my apartment. Let alone Yokai guests."
Omega-Xis crossed his arms, trying to get in the conversation, "So…. Dare we ask who are they?", he glanced at the four Yokai.
"Say nyo more!", Cosmonyan pulled out his Yokai Pad, scrolling the pages.
"Those Yokai are called-", he pointed at the fiery lion Yokai drinking a bottle of milk.
"Blazion!"
Name: Blazion
Rank: C
Attribute: Fire
Tribe: Brave
Then he pointed at the large pig-like Yokai swinging his buckets.
"Sproink!"
Name: Sproink
Rank: B
Attribute: Fire
Tribe: Eerie
Then he pointed at the pudgy horned Yokai wiping his sweating face.
"Swelton!"
Name: Swelton
Rank: C
Attribute: Fire
Tribe: Tough
Then he pointed at the dog-like Yokai sitting with his legs crossed, looking serious and calm while doing it.
"And Swelterrier!"
Name: Swelterrier
Rank: S
Attribute: Fire
Tribe: Charming
"Better make it short, Kitty Kat. Kid's gonna melt from the heat.", Omega-Xis pointed at Geo, who's still sweating.
Cosmonyan rolled his eyes at the Wizard's comment, "Pft. Nyo nyeed to be rude, Mangy Mutt."
A tick mark appeared on the Wizard's forehead, "AW COME ON!", he yelled angrily, earning the attention of the hot Yokai.
Geo was the first to engage them, "Umm. Why are you guys in my apartment?"
Swelterrier stood up from the couch. They all began posing dramatically.
"I AM SWELTERRIER! The leader of the clan!", Swelterrier shouted his name.
"RAWR RAWAWR! (I'M BLAZION!)", Blazion spoke in his native tongue.
"I'm SPROINK!"
"And I'm SWELTON!"
"And together, WE ARE THE HOT CLAN!", they all shouted in unison, though Blazion still used his native tongue.
Geo, Omega-Xis and Cosmonyan sweatdropped at their lame poses. "You're not answering my question, Swelterrier.", Geo said politely.
The Hot Clan calmed down. "We party out wherever we want.", Swelterrier explained while pointing his sword at him.
"Rawr rawawr rawr! (And nothing's gonna make us leave!)", Blazion pumped his fist.
"I….. don't understand that part.", Geo scratched his head confusedly.
"He said. And nothing's gonna make us leave!", Cosmonyan translated Blazion's language. Geo nodded in understanding. Then his eyes widened when he pulled out his blaster. "Nyot if I can help it!", he grinned gleefully as he began to aim his blaster at Swelterrier, who entered a fencing stance.
"NO!", Geo got in between the two Yokai, forcing them to lower their weapons. "Not in my room you're not!", he shouted panickedly. He couldn't risk getting the apartment destroyed thanks to their battle.
"Then how do we supposed to get them out of here!?", Cosmonyan asked him frustratingly.
Until they all felt a chilling sensation from the cold winds.
"W-what th-the h-h-heck-k!?", Geo folded his arms from the cold breeze suddenly entering his apartment. Even Cosmonyan and the Hot Clan were shivering. Though Omega-Xis wasn't, probably due to being an AM-ian.
"Oh no…..", Sproink paled.
"I-it's h-her!", Swelton clattered his teeth.
"R-awr rawr r-awr rawar raw-r rawr! (I-I thought she'd n-never f-find us here!)", Blazion growled fearfully.
"Wh-who's h-her-re?", Geo asked shakily thanks to the cold.
"Hello, everyone!~", a feminine voice greeted them cheerfully.
She's a fair-skinned figure wearing a blue kimono with white bubbly markings towards the lower edges. Around the waist is a golden-yellow obi that's tied into a bow on the back, with matching straps on her blue zōri. She has turquoise eyes and long, dark-blue hair with frosted tips worn up with the Glacial Clip in a way that resembles a Tiara that tied her hair into a ponytail. She is usually floating in the air.
Geo was surprised to find that this woman was floating and she appears to be creating the icy winds. 'A Yokai with ice powers? Could she be, a "yuki-onna"?', he thought about how there are some real Yokai actually exist among some 'made up' Yokai like Blazion.
He looked at the Hot Clan giving her nervous looks, though they're forcing themselves to smile at her presence, which seems to imply that they have a history. Cosmonyan on the other hand looked like he was having a crush on her, if his heart filled eyes didn't give it away. 'She's so pretty~', Cosmonyan mumbled with glee, even drooling.
"U-umm, C-Cosmonyan. W-who i-is sh-she?", the brunette asked the gawking Cat Yokai.
No response from the Yokai. He's still staring at the yuki-onna with hearts replacing his eyes. "Hey! Kid's asking ya!", Omega-Xis slapped Cosmonyan in the back. The Yokai snapped out of his trance. "Oh. Right.", shaking his head, Cosmonyan pulled out his Yokai Pad to examine the new Yokai.
"She's Blizzaria!"
Name: Blizzaria
Rank: S
Attribute: Ice
Tribe: Charming
"Now she can fully control her chilling power. Blizzaria can make snow fall in summer and freeze volcanoes.", Cosmonyan said as Blizzaria twirled in place and finished with a wink and a V-sign. This made Cosmonyan lowered his Yokai Pad and remained entranced by her looks.
Geo and Omega-Xis sweatdropped. 'Doesn't look like she's in control of her powers.', Geo lampshaded how the Yokai Pad wasn't being accurate about her description.
"Hiya, boys! I see you're having another party without me.", Blizzaria greeted the Hot Clan, though Geo couldn't see her almost glaring at the hot-themed Yokai. Especially since her freezing winds almost turned them into Yokai popsicles.
"O-of course w-we'd i-invite y-you, Blizzy. W-we just wanna s-save t-the best f-for l-last.", Swelterrier replied nervously.
"Blizzy!?", Cosmonyan yelled with bits of jealousy hearing that nickname.
"Oh! I see! I'm glad you thought of me like that, Terry!", Blizzaria clasped her hands happily.
Another anger mark appeared on Cosmonyan's forehead, "Terry!?"
"I'll go make some tea for you guys. Don't start the party without me.", Blizzaria winked before heading to the kitchen. The Hot Clan sighed in relief when her blizzard became weaker.
"Aww man. I thought she wouldn't find us here.", Sproink said panickedly.
"Rawr rawr!? (Ya think!?)", Blazion roared furiously.
"I-is she r-really that scary?", Geo asked them, still shivering from the cold.
"I-I wouldn't say she's scary.", Swelterrier replied before glancing at the kitchen, "Just a little, oblivious."
"A 'little oblivious' would be an understatement of the week, Swelterrier. She's as dense as an iceberg!", Swelton exclaimed, almost drowning out the whistling noise of the kettle.
"It keeps happening every time we throw a party! Once she shows up, she'll leave us frozen in place till we thawed out at the end of the day!", said Sproink frustrating.
"Rawr rawr rawawr! (It's so frustrating!)", Blazion roared.
Geo sweatdropped, 'Wow. She is pretty dense. Not exactly ladylike for a yuki-onna.'.
"I still think she's pretty.", Cosmonyan sighed dreamily about the yuki-onna.
Geo ignored his partner Yokai's comments, "Did any of you tried asking her to tone down her powers?", He asked the Hot Clan. They responded with widening eyes.
"RAWR RAWR RAWAWR!? (ARE YOU INSANE!?)", Blazion roared at him panickedly.
"She's already powerfully cold when she's happy!", Sproink said.
"Uhh. Guys?", Swelterrier tried to call them.
"Imagine how powerful she'll be when she's mad!", Swelton cupped his sweaty cheeks.
"Guys?", Swelterrier tried to call them, but was still ignored.
"Rawar rawr rawawr rawr! (If only she wasn't so cold, we'd be venting our fiery anger at her right now!)", roared the lion-like Yokai.
"GUYS!", eventually Swelterrier yelled.
"WHAT/RAWR!?", his clanmates yelled back for interrupting their venting, making Geo yelp.
"She heard us.", he nervously pointed at Blizzaria, who was holding a tray of tea, now staring at them with widened eyes and dropped jaw. The Hot Clan, plus Geo and Cosmonyan paled with fear when the yuki-onna began to summon stronger blizzards.
The tray and the teacups began to rattle thanks to Blizzaria's clenching grip, "I-is that what y-you really think of me?", she asked them, feeling a bit angry when she clenched her teeth.
"No! Nononono! It's not what you think!", Swelterrier tried to calm her down, but Blizzaria furiously threw the tray at the Hot Clan, spilling the, cold tea(?) at them.
"DON'T LIE TO ME ANYMORE! DO YOU THINK I CAN'T HEAR YOU SCREAMING ABOUT HOW INSENSITIVE I AM TO ALL OF YOU!?", tears began streaming from her eyes as she angrily yelled at Swelterrier. Heck, the blizzard became stronger the more angrier she gets.
Swelterrier raised his arms to shield his eyes from the blizzard. "I'M SORRY, BLIZZY! WE JUST COULDN'T TELL YOU THAT BECAUSE WE WERE WORRIED THAT YOU'LL FREEZE US OUT OF ANGER!", he apologized loudly.
Soon enough, the blizzard died down.
When everyone opened their eyes, they saw Blizzaria now on her knees, face covered by her hands as she cried softly.
She shook her head sorrowfully, "*sniff* I k-knew it…... I just knew I couldn't make friends because of my powers *sob*……. I don't even know why I even accepted this hair clip in the first place……."
This eventually got the Hot Clan to lower their heads in guilt. They weren't expecting to see her cry actually. Geo couldn't help but feel guilty either, since he inadvertently convinced them to be honest about her.
"Umm…. Blizzy?", Swelterrier tried to give his hand to her.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!", Blizzaria raised her hand, summoning massive spikes of ice at Swelterrier, who widened his eyes as he was unable to dodge them.
"LOOK OUT!", Geo pushed the Yokai out of the way.
...
The large icicles jutted out of the apartment window, alerting Luna, Zack, Bud and Leon.
"GEO!", they all shouted distressfully as they ran towards the apartment building.
...
Swelterrier curled into a ball, hoping her anger didn't freeze him.
"Are you okay, Swelterrier?", the Hot Clan leader opened his eyes to find Geo wrapping his arms around him, having pushed him away from the icicles.
He stood up to find that his clanmates have hidden behind the smaller couch, as the bigger one got sliced in half by the icicles, but thankfully they weren't hurt. However, Blizzaria was nowhere to be found.
But for now, he should appreciate the save, "Yeah. Thank you, kind child.", Swelterrier bowed gratefully.
"I'm Geo Stelar. And your welcome.", then Geo sighed guiltily, "And. I'm sorry for making you guys told her the truth."
"You bet you shouldn't!", Sproink shouted angrily.
"None of this would happen if you hadn't convinced us to tell us that Blizzaria's a jerk!", Swelton lashed out.
"Rawr! (Yeah!)", Blazion roared.
Geo lowered his head, now feeling even more guilty.
Then Swelterrier stood up in front of him. "Enough! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have to suffer from her blizzard for the rest of our lives! Would you rather have it that way!?", the leader scolded his clanmates.
"I-I guess not…..", Sproink apologized. Blazion and Swelton also gave guilty looks.
"Good. Because now I want you three to melt that ice.", he ordered before going out the door. "Yes, sir!", his clanmates saluted before using their fire powers to start melting the ice.
"I'll go find Blizzaria.", he opened the door.
"No.", Geo said before putting his hand on his shoulder……. Which was proven to be a mistake as he got burned by it. "WE'LL find her.", he said after sucking his burnt hand.
"WE!?", both Omega-Xis and Cosmonyan shouted in bafflement.
Geo glared at the two, "Yes. We.", he said sternly. "Y-yes, sir….", Cosmonyan saluted fearfully. Omega-Xis's groaned before crossing his arms, "Ugh. Fine."
...
As Geo exited the building, he was approached by his distressed friends.
"GEO!", Luna shouted, earning his attention. The bespectacled girl panted heavily from running, "We're glad you're okay."
Leon arrived next, despite having roller skates. "We saw what happened at your room! Did someone attacked you!?", he asked as Bud and Zack arrived.
Geo wanted to tell them that a Yokai attacked him out of anger, but he knew they wouldn't believe him due to his fear of ghosts. Cosmonyan and Swelterrier being invisible didn't help matters either. "Umm. Don't worry, guys. I already took care of the problem.", he lied.
His gang calmed down when he said that. Then Leon laughed out loud, "Hahah! Of course! You're Me-MMMPPH!", Leon almost spilled the beans if it weren't for Bud covering his mouth. "No. He's not Mega Man! I assure you.", Luna denied before looking at the ice tower at Geo's apartment. "Don't worry about that. I called for help to deal with, that.", said Geo, hoping to end this conversation sooner so they can start finding Blizzaria.
Luna sighed, "Alright. I guess I can let that slide.", then she put her hands on her hips, "So what are you gonna do now?", she asked him, wondering if it's possible for him to stay right now. "I guess I'll have to check out Springdale then, since I don't have any other choice at the moment.", Geo replied.
"You could ask me to rent another room, but I guess that's a good idea.", Luna smiled as she and the gang went to the apartment building, "Don't be late.", she warned him as Geo left along with Omega-Xis, Cosmonyan and Swelterrier.
"What are they talking about?", Swelterrier asked him about the thing Leon tried to say. Geo shook his head, "It's nothing. Let's just find her before she hurts somebody."
...
"Blizzaria!", Geo called loudly as he walked around the streets of the uptown.
...
"BLIZZY! BLIZZY!?", Swelterrier yelled to call out for her at the river.
...
"Yo. Blizzaria? You in there?", Omega-Xis opened a trash can to see if she's in there, only to get yelled by Cosmonyan.
"YOU IDIOT! WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT A BEAUTIFUL LADY LIKE HER WOULD BE IN THERE!?", Cosmonyan's angry ranting startled Omega-Xis that he ended up dropping the lid. Fortunately the streets they were in were empty.
"I'm not really interested in this. Not my problem. The only reason I'm here is because the kid dragged me here.", Omega-Xis crossed his arms in disinterest.
Cosmonyan raised his eyebrow at the AM-ian's dismissive words. 'Well that's one man out of the competition.', he sighed in relief…….. before rubbing his hands while snickering creepily. 'Which means the only one I'll have to worry about is that fire dog. If I can get to Blizzaria first, I can confess my love to her and she'll forget about that Swelterrier guy! And we'll live happily ever after! Nyahahahahaha!'
His maniacal laughter didn't go unnoticed by Omega-Xis, "Uhh….. You okay, Kitty Kat?", the Wizard asked. That's when Cosmonyan suddenly grabbed his hand, "Come on, Alien Mutt! WE MUST FIND HER!", and rocketed away, with Omega-Xis crying from the pain.
...
The sun began setting, signalling the arrival of nighttime. Geo, Swelterrier, Omega-Xis and Cosmonyan eventually met up with each other.
"Any luck, guys?", Geo asked tiredly.
Cosmonyan shook his head. "Nyegative."
Omega-Xis shook his head dismissively, "Nada."
Swelterrier replied, "Sadly, no."
Geo scratched his head, "She couldn't have gone too far.". Then he felt a tug of his arm thanks to the dog-like Yokai. "Then we must keep searching! Blizzy might get hurt!", he pulled his arm frantically.
"Swelterrier. It's getting late. It'll be much harder to find her in the dark.", Geo explained before yawning, "Besides, I'm a living mortal, I'll get tired if I don't get enough sleep so we can resume searching for her tomorrow."
"B-but…….", Swelterrier lowered his tugging arm, feeling like almost giving up.
That's when they noticed a snowflake falling in front of them.
"What?", Geo wondered curiously as more snowflakes began to fall.
One of the snowflakes fell on Swelterrier's paw before melting thanks to his natural heat. His eyes widened as he remembered the patterns. "These are Blizzy's snowflakes!"
"But where are they coming from?", Geo looked around to find the source of the snowflakes.
Cosmonyan pointed up, "Over there!"
Everyone looked at the direction Cosmonyan was pointing.
"The construction site?", Geo noticed that large clouds of snow were covering the top half of the unfinished building. There's even a giant snow cloud right above the building.
Swelterrier widened his eyes in realization. "Blizzaria must be up there!", he then tugged Geo's arm, "We've got to-", he was cut off by a gust of wind, thanks to Cosmonyan's jetpack.
"SO LONG! SUCKAS!", Cosmonyan yelled as he flew towards the building, hoping to finally get the girl of his dreams.
Everyone blinked in confusion at the Cat Yokai's antics, before Swelterrier shrugged it off. "Come on! Blizzaria is in there!", he grabbed Geo's arm and dragged him into the building. Omega-Xis sighed before floating their way.
...
Once Geo, Omega-Xis and Swelterrier entered the building, they heard explosions on the top floor. "Uh oh. What are you up to, Cosmonyan?", Geo mumbled as they continue running up the stairs faster, hoping he wasn't doing something stupid.
...
Once they reached the top floor, they saw Cosmonyan using what appears to be a large handheld drill to try and smash through a massive, spiky dome of ice. But unfortunately for him, the drill was smashed instead. The drill didn't even scratch it.
"Dagnyabbit! Just how tough is that ice dome!?", Cosmonyan cursed angrily at the ice dome. "Don't worry, Blizzaria! I'll save you!", he said before popping out the rocket launchers from the jetpack. He fired the rockets at the dome, but the rockets only bounced away, hitting the girders of the building instead, causing the explosion to shake the building.
"Cosmonyan, stop it! You're gonna blow this place down with us in it!", Geo shouted angrily, earning the attention of his Yokai partner.
"But-", Cosmonyan's excuse was cut off by the brunette's scolding, "No. Buts! Can't you see how Blizzaria was feeling back at the apartment!? Your attempts are scaring her and probably made her reinforce the dome! Read the room, Cosmonyan!"
Cosmonyan's eyes widened. He never thought of that because he was so obsessed in trying to earn Blizzaria's heart that he never realized her current situation. He retracted his rocket launchers back into his jetpack. "I-I'm sorry. I-I…. didn't think of that.", he lowered his head in guilt.
Geo smiled, "Apology accepted.", before patting Cosmonyan's shoulder, "Partner." The Cat Yokai looked at Geo with a shocked face. He really thought he was gonna get punished for being so destructive, but Geo immediately forgave him after he simply apologized.
"But still. How are we gonnya get Blizzaria out of that dome?", Cosmonyan asked while glancing at the still freezing dome.
"Perhaps the solution is to go inside the dome.", Swelterrier replied as he walked towards it, using all of his guts to get close and hope that the yuki-onna won't freeze him.
As soon as he's close to the dome, he put his paw on the wall of the dome. He breathed in, ready to speak to her, "Blizzy? It's me, Swelterrier. I-I'm sorry if my clanmates and I were being too blunt about what we said earlier. But what we said was true. We wanted to be your friends, but your ice powers were too strong for us to even resist. We wanted to tell you to tone down your powers, but we were too afraid to.", a tear flowed down his cheeks. "A-and on behalf of the Hot Clan, I owe you my greatest apologies for hurting your feelings. So please……… Let me reach out to you…….", he sobbed as he laid his forehead at the icy wall.
Silence………
Until they heard glacial noises and noticed snowflakes flying all over. Swelterrier opened his eyes as he saw the spikes began to shrink, but the dome remained in place. Swelterrier gulped, "Okay… I'm going in…", he said before heating up his palm, melting the ice as he entered the dome.
"Wait. That's all it takes to get into the dome!?", Cosmonyan complained in shock. All he did was blasting and drilling the dome and none of them made a scratch, but Swelterrier simply melted a hole through it?
……
As soon as Swelterrier entered the dome, he saw Blizzaria sitting on an ice block in a fetal position, her back facing at him. She didn't seemed to move a muscle, but the icy winds blowing around her seemed to imply she's calming down. Swelterrier slowly walked towards her, and eventually sat down beside her. He wanted to speak, but he hesitated, not wanting to offend her like this noon.
"I used to have many friends before I became a Yokai……."
Blizzaria spoke, rather softly, though she's still in her fetal position, not even bothering to look at Swelterrier. Swelterrier decided to simply listen.
………
Flashback,
A young girl was happily playing with her friends in a village in a snowy region. She had black long hair tied in a ponytail. She had chocolate brown eyes and pink blush stickers. The girl was wearing a plain blue kimono underneath a pink blanket. She was wearing yellow boots.
"I had so much fun with them. They made me feel less lonely."
The girl was playing tag with her friends.
Then she was making a snowman with her friends.
Then she was playing a snowball fight with her friends.
"But one day, we were playing hide-and-seek."
"Alright! I'll be it! Everybody hide while I count to ten!", one of the girl's friends eventually turned his face towards a tree and began counting while the girl and the rest of her friends began to scatter to look for hiding spots.
"I took a very big leap at the time."
"Umm. Are you sure this is a good idea, Yuki-chan? This spot is a little too far from the village.", another girl asked the girl, now named Yuki, after pointing at a cave in the outskirts of the village.
"Of course it does, Mel-chan! I'll be the last person to be found if I hide in here. Don't worry about it!", Yuki giggled.
"O-okay….", Mel said worriedly before running off to find a different hiding place. Yuki eventually sat down inside the cave, clutching her blanket tightly.
"He'll never find me here!", the girl giggled mischievously.
"Let's just say my idea worked."
After an hour passed, a blizzard began to blow across the region.
"A little too well….."
Yuki was now shivering from the cold blizzard. Her blanket was her only way to protect her from the cold. "W-why hasn't he f-found me y-yet?", Yuki muttered between the shivering.
The cave wasn't too far from the village, but the blizzard made it impossible for her to see where she'll go. So her best bet is to just wait until the blizzard calmed down.
"So I waited."
Several hours have passed…… But the blizzard is still strong.
"And waited……"
The sun began to set. But the blizzard is still blowing.
"And waited……."
Soon night fell, but the blizzard was still blowing strong.
"M-Mama….. Papa…….", Yuki was still shaking. Not to mention her stomach was growling all the while. Her hunger made her grow weaker every hour. Her brown pupils began to fade like her consciousness. She couldn't keep her eyes open.
"I m-miss…... Mama's…... u-udons…..", Yuki muttered the topic thanks to her hunger. Eventually she closed her eyes, hoping to sleep off the hunger and the blizzard would calm down by tomorrow.
"By tomorrow. The blizzard finally ended."
Yuki opened her eyes to find that it's now morning. She yawned and stretched her arms before standing up. "Finally. I can go home now!", she said happily before skipping all the way back to the village.
"But by the time I'm home did I finally realized the changes in me."
Yuki finally arrived at her house. "I'm home!", the girl greeted cheerfully. However, when she peeked through the window, she saw her mother crying on her bed, while her father was patting her back.
But that's not the reason that surprised her.
When she saw her reflection on the window, her facial features changed.
Her skin became pale. Her long black hair is now blue with lighter blue highlights at the tips. Her chocolate blue eyes are now icy blue. Her pink blanket is now light blue.
But what really shocked her was when frost suddenly formed on the window from her hand, making her back away in fright.
"Wh-what's happening to me!?", Yuki stepped back, surprised by the changes in herself.
She then accidentally bumped into a passerby. But instead, she phased through the person, and said person suddenly shivered but continued to walk by.
Yuki widened her eyes. Her heartbeat sped up when she experienced that. She looked around as several people passed through her without even noticing her at all. It's like she didn't exist anymore.
"I became the Yokai Frostina."
Frostina returned to the cave where she first became the Yokai. She curled herself into a ball and cried softly.
"Why…….? *sniff* Why did I even c-choose to h-hide in t-this stupid *sniff* cave?", Frostina cried sadly and frustratingly as she clutched her blanket tighter.
"Perhaps because you were destined to be a Yokai"
"That's when I met…. him."
A voice belonged to what appears to be a young vermilion skinned man with blond hair and was wearing a red royal robe.
Frostina looked up at the man confusedly, while said man simply smiled at her.
She wiped a tear off her eye, "Who…… who are you?", she asked.
"Let's just say, I'm a person who is willing to give you a chance to live your new life, Frostina.", the man said reassuringly. He then held up his hand to her.
"Even I was confused about how he knew my Yokai name. Even I wondered why did I know my Yokai name."
Frostina looked at him suspiciously. First of all, how come he can see her while everyone else couldn't? Why would a stranger offer her a 'second chance' at life?
"Well? I'm waiting.", the man said in a friendly manner.
Frostina was unsure at first. Her parents told her to never trust strangers. But now, she's a Yokai, and she has absolutely no one to trust. She was desperate.
So she took the man's hand and stood up. By the time the man let go of her hand, she felt something on it.
It was an ice themed hairclip.
"It's a Glacial Hairclip. Consider it my token of friendship.", the vermilion man said to her.
Frostina looked at the hairclip. It looks so pretty. The snowflake theme made it look like it was made for her.
"Did you like it?", the man asked her. Frostina didn't respond, but the fact she was cuddling the hairclip meant she already gave her answer.
"Well? Go ahead."
Frostina lowered her blanket so that her long, blue hair was exposed. She put the hairclip on so that it styled her hair into a ponytail.
As soon as she put it on, her body began to glow blue and she was floating.
As the light faded, she became the Yokai Blizzaria!
Blizzaria examined her new form. By waving her hands, icy winds blew by the movement of her hands.
For the first time since then, she felt so happy. She always liked playing with snow. And now she can control snow! It's like it became a part of her now! She twirled as she began floating in place.
"Did you like my gift?", the young man asked, chuckling in amusement of her new powers.
Blizzaria tackled him for a hug, "I love it! Thank you, sir!"
The man was a bit surprised, but simply chuckled and gave her a pat to the head, "You're welcome, Blizzaria. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.", the man's pun made her giggle as she released him from the hug.
"What do you mean?", Blizzaria asked him.
With a snap of his fingers, the man summoned what appears to be a creature that looks like a purple living mirror. The mirror's black face began to glow brightly blue.
"Your new life as a Yokai begins past this portal. But once you entered, there is no turning back.", the man warned the last part to her.
Blizzaria thought to herself. The man gave her a choice with a warning. She still thought it was weird for a stranger to offer her this new chance. But part of her feared of being alone as a Yokai for the rest of her life, or afterlife that is.
She nodded to the man, "I'll take your offer, sir. If entering this portal will help me adjust to my new life, then so be it.", Blizzaria said with determination.
The red-skinned man smiled before moving aside, "Then go."
With a deep breath, Blizzaria flew into the portal.
As soon as Blizzaria flew through the portal, her eyes widened in shock.
This world looked so colorful. The city is so bustling. The sky looks weird, but beautiful. And the people are all different shapes and sizes, with supernatural powers used in leisure.
Just like her…...
"Oh dear. I don't know where to start. What should I do, sir?", Blizzaria turned around to ask the red-skinned man.
But there was no sign of him, and neither was the portal.
"Sir?", Blizzaria looked around for him.
"And, well, you know the rest."
Flashback end
......
Swelterrier widened his eyes. Who would have thought Blizzaria had so much in her life and lost them as a Yokai.
"But because of my powers, I have a hard time making friends. Everytime I try, I froze them in an instant.". She then clenched her kimono tightly. "And t-they never played with me on the next day……."
"Blizzaria…… A-are you saying?.", Swelterrier said pitifully.
"Yes. There is no Cold Clan. There never is one…….", Blizzaria explained tearfully. Swelterrier widened his eyes.
"When I saw you and the Hot Clan, I thought perhaps your fire powers could cancel out my ice powers so you wouldn't be bothered by it.", the yuki-onna lowered her head.
"But I guess I was wrong…..", a tear dripped onto her lap.
"I-I'm sorry for overreacting, Swelterrier! I almost hurt you just because of what you and your clan said about me!", she broke down in tears, feeling totally guilty.
Swelterrier felt those words like a brick. So this whole time, the whole reason Blizzaria has been stalking was because she just wanted friends who can handle her coldness. And the Hot Clan was her ideal choice, or so she thought. But what she never realized is that not even the Hot Clan can handle the cold. At first they liked her Frostina form because she was gentle enough to not freeze him and his clanmates, and the hairclip was the only reason she acted like an insensitive bully. But now, he knew her real secret. Especially after she expressed remorse over her recent actions.
So Swelterrier did the only thing he can do to make her stop crying. He wrapped his arm around Blizzaria's shoulder.
"S-Swelterrier?", Blizzaria asked in surprise.
"Even if my clanmates wouldn't accept you, I would still accept you.", Swelterrier said before looking at her eye to eye.
"I'll be your friend, Blizzy.", the Dog Yokai smiled warmly.
Blizzaria gasped. She just couldn't believe it. After all that outburst and he still wanted to be his friend? She wanted to ask him to make sure, but she just couldn't care anymore. Tears began to swell in her eyes and she immediately wrapped her arms around Swelterrier.
"T-thank you….. Thank you so much, Terry!", she cried in excitement.
Soon enough, the dome was surrounded by heat energy as the dome began to melt like magic you would see in classic fairytales.
Once the dome melted completely, Geo, Omega-Xis, and Cosmonyan were able to witness their gestures of affection.
"Thank goodness.", Geo smiled at the scene. That's when the two Yokai glowed before said light purged from their bodies, clumped together, and formed their respective Yokai Medals.
"So,... heartwarming! I felt like a bad guy right now!", Cosmonyan bawled inelegantly as he blew his nose with a tissue.
"Ugh. Disgusting.", Omega-Xis groaned at the display.
Then he promptly gets frozen alive, thanks to Blizzaria.
"What a stupid mutt.", the yuki-onna growled in annoyance for ruining the moment.
Geo sweatdropped, "That's just how Mega is when it comes to love…..", he lifted his shoulders and sighed.
……………….
Meanwhile,
The vermilion skinned man was watching the commotion from afar, his arms crossed and his gaze were sharp like an eagle as he was standing on top of a nearby building.
The man smiled warmly, "I see you're finally warming up to your friends, Blizzaria. Good for you.", the man said thankfully before walking away, before taking a great leap and disappeared into the night.
……... Part 2: Yokai Duel ……..
It was just another average day at school. Mr. Johnson was just teaching Mathematics to his class.
"Okay. Can any of you students answer this question?", the homeroom teacher asked the whole class about the question written on the chalkboard.
9 x 4 ? = 53
The whole class didn't seem to respond, finding the question too hard to answer.
"Geo? Would you like to give it a try?", Mr. Johnson asked the brunette, who was writing notes until he was called.
"Oh! Umm…. H-Hai, Sensei. (Y-yes, Teacher.)", Geo nervously got off his seat and walked towards the chalkboard.
A few seconds later,
? = 17
"Very good, Geo. That's the right answer!", Mr. Johnson praised him, making him scratched his head shyly, "Y-yeah. Thank you, sir."
All the boys looked in awe, while the girls were swooning at his charms.
"Wow! He's so smart!", said Matt.
"And he looks cute when he's shy.", said Megan dreamily.
Nate was gritting his teeth, crushing his pencil in envy.
...
Next was Physical Education class, and everyone was playing soccer.
"Nate! Heads up!", Alex passed the ball to him.
Nate caught the ball and was prepared to shoot it as he saw Geo running straight towards him.
'You won't stop me from scoring a goal!', Nate shot a glare before kicking the ball up to his knee, then to his head, and headbutted it into the air.
Nate then jumped into the air with a backflip, his foot ignited in flames as he kicked the ball!
"METEOR SHOOT!", Nate shouted as the ball ignited in flames.
"What the-!?", Geo exclaimed in shock as the fireball flew straight towards him, forcing him, and the goalkeeper (Bud) to jump away. The fireball scorched through the goal net and flew into the horizon.
"GOAL!", Nate slid victoriously, finally defeated Geo in something. Everyone lifted him up with joy at their victor. "Nate! Nate! Nate!", Nate closed his eyes, embracing the cheers they gave.
"NATE!", until he jolted by an angry shout from Kenny, snapping out of his daydreaming.
"What are you doing!? Geo's getting away with the ball!", Nate jawdropped when he did saw the brunette running with the ball.
"Why is he daydreaming in the middle of the game?", Geo wondered as he glanced at Nate, who turned white all of a sudden.
"Yoink!", Leon smirked as he slid, attempting to snatch the ball from Geo.
"Nope.", Geo said before spinning around, keeping the ball away from Leon, who only managed to kick some dirt in the process. "Aw dang it!", Leon punched the ground in frustration.
"Sorry.", Geo smiled apologetically before kicking the ball to the corner of the goal, with Bear jumping, but failing to reach it.
Mr. Johnson blew the whistle, signifying the end of the class.
"Yay!", Luna shouted joyfully while waving her pom poms, drowning out the cheers from other girls.
Geo gave his hand to Leon, who took it to stand up, "Dang. I just can't seem to beat you, can I?", Leon just laughed off his defeat. He may be the best at sports, but not as much as Geo. "Hey. Doesn't mean I'm untouchable. Maybe someday you will.", said Geo after shaking hands. Leon simply grinned. Soon the boys on his team praised him for his efforts, making him blush in embarrassment.
"He's so sporty!", said Maya dreamily.
"Not to mention modest.", said Natalie.
Nate kicked the ground in anger before walking away. "Oh dear. Poor Nate.", Whisper shook his head in concern for the boy, who gets obliviously overshadowed by the new student.
...
Geo just so happened to walk along the classroom, when he saw something on the ground. He saw a girl wearing glasses walking right behind the object. He picked it up and ran towards the girl.
"Um. Excuse me?", he tapped the girl's shoulder, making her yelp as she turned around. "O-oh! C-can I h-help you?", the girl asked shyly.
"You dropped your wallet.", Geo said as he handed the wallet to her.
"Oh! I thought I lost it for good!", the glasses girl said as she took the wallet. She then blushed as she cuddled her belonging. "Th-thank you…", she said meekly.
Geo smiled, "You're welcome. Umm……..", he realized that he never asked the girl's name, since she's one of his classmates.
The girl averted her gaze to hide her blushing cheeks. "Sh-Shelly… M-my name is Shelly…..", the girl named Shelly told her name as she fiddled her skirt.
"Oh. Well. Just be careful with your items, Shelly.", Geo said before walking away, leaving her to sigh in awe.
"He's so kind.", Shelly muttered happily as she cuddled her wallet onto her chest.
"Dammit…….", Nate clenched his fist. "It's bad enough that everyone in school called me average, but now we have a new guy who's absolutely cool at just about everything!", he scowled at the thought.
"Now now, Nate. There's no need to be envious about the boy. Sure you maybe average unlike this Geo person, who is very popular with the ladies.", Whisper said to Nate. Though at this point he's just digging his own grave.
"Way to make me feel better, Whisper.", Nate replied sarcastically.
Whisper cringed at his own poor choice of words. "But at least you have something he doesn't have.", he tried to reassure the boy.
"Oh yeah? What is it?", Nate asked.
"Your girlfriend."
Nate's eyes widened. He remembered that Katie never showed signs of affection for Geo throughout the week. He relaxed, his Yokai butler helped him found a silver lining in his life.
Only to crumble into dust when he saw Geo talking to Katie, and she even giggled before leaving.
Nate was growling in envy. But it certainly had nothing to do with a purple miasma surrounding him. "THAT'S IT!", he roared with fury as he stomped his way towards Geo.
"Oh. Hello, Nate.", Geo greeted him.
"Don't "Hello, Nate." me! You can beat me at sports, beat me at books, but nobody steals my Katie!", Nate gave him the pointer finger. Geo simply blinked in confusion, "What are you talking about? I was just asking Katie for directions to the library.", he replied.
"Oh. Playing dumb, huh?", Nate said sarcastically before chuckling. "Then I guess I'll just have to get answers the hard way then.", he then dramatically pointed his finger at him.
"I CHALLENGE YOU TO A YOKAI DUEL!"
Geo jawdropped. Did he said Yokai Duel? Did he knew he had a Yokai Watch or something? He was about to protest, but Nate already made his word, "At the roof. After school. Just bring yourself along.", he declared the conditions before stomping away, leaving the baffled brunette standing in place.
"Kid? Hey, kid!", Omega-Xis's snapped his fingers at Geo's face, but he didn't seem to flinch.
"What just happened?", Geo asked confusedly
...
*DING~! DONG~! DING~! DONG~!*
As soon as the bell rang, everyone was exchanging gossips before leaving the classroom.
"You guys can go home without me.", Geo told his friends. "I have to meet someone. A classmate of ours.", he said before slinging on his backpack.
Luna smiled, "Okay. Be careful, Geo.", she said as she and her lackeys left the classroom.
Geo eventually arrived at the rooftop. Standing in front of him was the still crossed Nate.
"Alright. Now that you're here, it's time for a YOKAI DUEL!", Nate declared the battle dramatically. That's when Whisper showed up, "Nate. Shouldn't you be rational about this? All you did is confusing him.", Whisper nervously tried to convince him. Then he turned to Geo, "Oh. Hello there. You must be the cool kid everyone has been talking about. Geo, right?", he greeted casually. He then flew around the frozen boy, "I must say. I expected you to be taller.", Whisper scratched his chin.
Geo blinked. He has a Yokai partner and a Yokai Watch too? In fact, said Yokai Watch is blue in color. He thought he was the only one with a Yokai Watch.
"That's a Yokai Watch U!", Cosmonyan exclaimed after reading on his Yokai Pad. "U as in Universal! The latest model that can used both regular Yokai Medals and Type Z Yokai Medals.", he said. "Naruhodo. (I see.) ", Geo scratched his chin, intrigued by the different Yokai Watch models. He wondered if there's a difference in functionality.
"Hey! Geo!", Geo shook his head at Nate's call. "If you won't start the duel, then I will.", Nate said bitterly before holding up a Yokai Medal.
...
"My Yokai friend! Calling, Jibanyan!", Nate tossed Jibanyan's medal, which twirled in midair.
"Yokai Medal, do your thing!", Nate grabbed the medal and inserted it into the watch. Said watch's lights began glowing pink.
[Ladies and gentlemen! Introducing the Charming Tribe!]
[Go Charming! Go Charming! Oh My Darling! Charming! Charming (x3)!]
Multiple female Yokai cheerleaders were dancing to the song as a red Cat Yokai similar to Cosmonyan was dancing on the ascending stage.
[Yeah! Charming!]
"Jibanyan!", the red Cat Yokai shouted his name.
Jibanyan is a red-and-white-colored cat, that has pink inner-ears with a chip on his left ear. He has yellow coloured eyes with large pupils, his nose and inner-ears are dull shade of pink. Attached to his collar is an aquamarine coloured bell, matching the hitodama flames at the end of his two tails. In the middle of the chest, Jibanyan wears a yellow haramaki.
Name: Jibanyan
Rank: D
Attribute: Fire
Tribe: Charming
......
"Yes!", Nate pumped his fist enthusiastically. Until he gets punched in the face by Jibanyan.
"WHAT THE HECK, NYATE!? WHY DID YOU SUMMON ME IN A MIDDLE OF MY CATNYAP!?", Jibanyan ranted angrily at him. Whisper sighed in annoyance.
Geo sweatdropped. "So he's a Cat Yokai like Cosmonyan.", he scratched his chin in curiosity. "Come to think of it, Cosmonyan and Jibanyan looked different from a typical nekomata."
"Not now, Jibanyan!", Nate said as he grabbed the red cat, who is still trying to punch the boy with his stubby paws. "What are you waiting for!? Summon your own partner!", he shouted at Geo.
"O-Oh. Right!", Geo blinked.
...
Geo raised his Yokai Watch.
"Yokai Watch! Activate!", he pressed a button which raised the dial of the watch.
Cosmonyan's medal floated into the air, which was promptly grabbed by Geo.
"Alright, Cosmonyan. I'm calling you!", Geo slid the medal, and slammed the dial down.
[Summoning; Mysterious!], the watch's lights glowed yellow.
The Yokai Medal began spinning before turning into light. The watch began to blast a pillar of light as the aforementioned Yokai landed from the light and began flying around as if he was dancing.
[A-Boo-shiggy, boo-shiggy, boogie woogie! Cling-clang delirious, Mysterious!]
"Cosmonyan!", he struck a pose.
[Name: Cosmonyan]
[Rank: C]
[Attribute: Lightning]
[Tribe: Mysterious]
[Guess I'll have to introduce this Yokai then.], the Watch sighed exasperatedly.
[Cosmonyan! The Lighting attribute Yokai of the Mysterious Tribe!]
...
Cosmonyan rubbed his eyes tiredly, "Yeesh, Geo……. What part of 'Don't disturb a nyapping cat.' do you nyot understand?"
Geo raised his hands defensively, "Sorry, Cosmonyan. It's just that Nate demands me to summon you so you can fight his Cat Yokai."
Cosmonyan blinked, "Cat Yokai?", he turned to look at Jibanyan, who was yapping his mouth off at Nate.
"Greetings, cousin!", Cosmonyan waved his paw joyfully. This made Jibanyan stopped to look at Cosmonyan with confusion.
"Cousin?", a question mark popped out of Jibanyan's head.
"Well yeah. We're both cats. So I consider each other cousins.", Cosmonyan smiled as he hovered in front of the other Cat Yokai.
Jibanyan shrugged, "Makes sense, I guess."
Geo smiled. He was happy to see his new partner making friends. Nate however, not so happy to see his own friend not fighting his enemy.
"What are you doing, Jibanyan!? He's our enemy! Fight him!", he furiously pointed at Cosmonyan.
Jibanyan yawned lazily, "Sorry, Nyate. Nyot feeling it right nyow.".
Nate growled. "I said, NOW!"
Jibanyan actually shivered in terror, "Alright! Alright! Sheesh!", he rolled his eyes before entering a battle stance. "Sorry, cousin. Nyothing personyal."
Cosmonyan backed away and pulled out his blaster. "Right back at ya!", he grinned eagerly.
Whisper gasped, "Whoa. Never thought he'd actually threatened Jibanyan into fighting. Nate usually bribes him with Chocobars to make him do something.", he said.
He fired a laser at Jibanyan, who managed to dodge thanks to his speed. "PAWS OF FURY!", Jibanyan threw his fisticuffs rapidly. Cosmonyan used his jetpack to dodge the fisticuffs. "Nyope!", the astronaut cat shot another laser at him. "GALAXY LASER!", Cosmonyan charged his laser blaster and fired it at Jibanyan, who took the hit head on.
"NYAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!", Jibanyan was zapped so hard, his skeleton was visible for everyone to see. He was eventually covered in ashes before falling unconscious. "Nyoooooowch…...", the Cat Yokai was twitching on the ground.
"Yikes. Just a Soultimate and he's down for the count.", Whisper deadpanned. "You seriously need training, Jibanyan."
"Ya don't say………", Jibanyan replied sarcastically, his voice became raspy due to the electric shock.
Nate's eye twitched in anger, "DARN IT! WHY ARE YOU SO WEAK, JIBANYAN!? HOW COULD YOU LOSE TO ANOTHER CAT!?", he stomped his foot, scaring the heck out of the bakeneko.
"Whoa there, Nate! Calm down! We just haven't had an actual Yokai battle before, that's all. Maybe he's just lucky enough to have befriended a powerful Yokai like Cosmonyan.", he frantically convinced him to cool down, but sadly it fell on deaf ears.
"NO! I REFUSE TO LOSE TO A COOL GUY LIKE GEO!", Nate roared furiously before pulling out another Yokai Medal. "BEST TWO OUT OF THREE!"
...
"My Yokai friend, calling Robonyan F!", Nate grabbed another medal he threw into the air.
"Yokai Medal, do your thing!", he then installed the medal into the watch. Said watch began to glow orange lights.
[Ladies and gentlemen! Introducing the Tough Tribe!]
Several Yokai dressed in white mobster outfits began chanting to the song.
[Tough stuff! Boo-ya! Tough Stuff! Tough Stuff!]
A robotic Cat Yokai was punching the air before striking a pose.
[Boo-ya!]
"Robonyan F!", he yelled out his name.
Robonyan F is a robot cat that has it's body split in two colors; the right white, and the left blue. It has big cyan eyes, wrists, nose, shoulder, and knee. The muzzle, inner-ear, paws, and chest are gray. A yellow sphere is at the center of it's chest, and it wears a dark gray band around the stomach with a blue and white flame icon in the middle. A matching jetpack is on it's back. The tail flames are sky blue.
Name: Robonyan F
Rank: A
Attribute: Fire
Tribe: Tough
...
Geo jawdropped at the sight of a robotic Cat Yokai, 'First a space nekomata, and now a robot nekomata? This town is strange, even by Yokai standards.'
"Salutations, Nate.", Robonyan F saluted. "What are your orders?", Robonyan F asked, hovering in place thanks to it's own jetpack. Nate grinned as he pointed at Cosmonyan.
"Defeat Cosmonyan!", he said with determination.
"Affirmative. Initiate combat protocols. SYSTEM UPGRADE!", the cat-like machine then pumped it's fists. Orange Aura began to engulf the robot cat.
"Pfft. Big deal.", Cosmonyan snorted before firing a laser at the robot cat. Robonyan F nonchalantly deflected the laser with a swing of it's arm. "My turn.", Robonyan F said with a monotone voice before raising it's arms.
"ROCKET PUNCH!", it's paws launched from it's arms. "Whoa!", Cosmonyan swiftly dodged the fists. "Watch it, Tin Cat! You're gonna hurt someone with that!", but Robonyan's attack didn't end there. It fired a volley of rockets from where the paws used to be.
"Uh oh.", Cosmonyan paled as the rockets began chasing him. "Heat seekers.", Geo mumbled before scratching his chin. That's when a light bulb popped out of his head. "Cosmonyan! Shoot down the missiles with your gatling gun!", he shouted to his partner.
Cosmonyan seemed to get the message as he saluted at Geo, before pulling out his gatling gun from his jetpack and fired lasers rapidly at the missiles. All of them exploded before reaching Cosmonyan.
Only to get slammed by Robonyan F's hammer arm. "ARGH!", Cosmonyan cried in pain as he plummeted to the ground.
*CRASH!*
As the dust cleared, Geo saw Cosmonyan lying on the crater, looking rather dazed, "I see so many stars……. Hehehehe………", he slurred before passing out.
"Enemy Yokai eliminated. Mission accomplished.", Robonyan F slowly landed in front of Nate, who grinned in satisfaction. "Hah! Who's the cool guy now?", he pointed at Geo spitefully.
"Technically you defeated me once. So that means we're in a tie.", Geo explained politely, trying his best not to offend him any more.
Nate widened his eyes before facepalming in realization. "Ugh. Fine. Summon another Yokai of yours.", then he chuckled, "I bet it's gonna be Buhu or Dulluma or that blue wolf-like Yokai that's been beside you.", he pointed at Omega-Xis.
Now it's Geo's turn to widened his eyes. "Wait. You've been stalking us!?", he asked in surprise.
"Just summon another Yokai for Pete's sake!", Nate yelled.
"I'd do what he says if I were you, boy.", Whisper said with a shrug. "Once he's settled on something, nothing's gonna change his mind."
Geo gritted his teeth. At least it was a relief that he thought Omega-Xis was a Yokai instead of an alien. He didn't want to complicate things any longer. "Wagata. (Alright).", Geo said before pulling out a Yokai Medal.
...
Geo raised his Yokai Watch.
"Yokai Watch! Activate!", he pressed a button that raised the dial of the watch.
Blizzaria's medal floated into the air before being grabbed by Geo.
"Okay, Blizzaria! I'm calling you!", he slid the medal into the watch before pressing the dial.
[Summoning; Charming!] , the watch's lights glow pink.
The medal began spinning in place before converting to light. The watch began shooting a beam of light before landing on a spot, revealing Blizzaria dancing to the music.
[Alarming, boom, boom! Walla, walla, dance, dance, Charming!]
"Blizzaria!", the yuki-onna winked.
[Name: Blizzaria]
[Rank: S]
[Attribute: Ice]
[Tribe: Charming]
[Attention please!] , said the Yokai Watch. [Blizzaria! The Ice attribute Yokai of the Charming Tribe!]
...
"Oh! Good to see you again, Geo.", Blizzaria giggled as she floated around him. "Y-yeah. Good to see you too, Blizzaria.", Geo nodded. "So. What's the matter? I was in the middle of dinner with Terry before you summoned me here.", she put her hands on her hips as she glared at him.
Nate jawdropped. "Oh. I see he befriended Blizzaria.", Whisper remarked.
"I'm so sorry, Miss Blizzaria! I didn't know.", Geo clasped his hands apologetically. "I-it's just that I had to summon another Yokai since Cosmonyan's knocked out."
Blizzaria turned around to see Nate, Whisper, an Ash covered Jibanyan, and Robonyan F. "Hello, Nate. Wasn't expecting you here."
Nate slowly raised his finger, "Y-you befriended Blizzaria!?", he asked in shock at the fact that the cool kid is possessing Blizzaria's medal.
Blizzaria raised her eyebrow, "You got a problem with that?"
Nate could only growl in anger for some reason even he couldn't comprehend. But he just felt like he had to. "YES I DO! NOTHING EVER GOES MY WAY! I HATE BEING AVERAGE! AND NOW YOU SHOWED UP AND RUBBED YOUR COOL GUY ANTICS AT MY FACE!", he babbled angrily while stomping his feet.
This earned mixed reactions from everyone else, ranging from collective sweatdrops, terrified gasps.
And a surprised gasp from Cosmonyan, who just got up groaning in pain unti his antenna popping out and blinking.
"Whoa! Yokai energy is going crazy around that kid!", he then glanced at Geo while pointing his paw at Nate. "Shine your Yokai Watch at him!"
Geo simply nodded before holding up the watch and shined the light at Nate.
"That's preposterous. How could you possibly blame a Yokai for making Nate do such a thing? Anyone could be jealous of a cool kid for making him look pale in comparison.", Whisper shook his head dismissively, making Cosmonyan planted his face against his. "Hey! My Yokai Radar is nyever wrong! If it's beeping, it means there's a Yokai involved!", Cosmonyan said angrily. "How can you be so sure!?", Whisper retaliated by pushing his face back.
"Over there!", Geo said. "WHIS!?", making Whisper freak out, while Cosmonyan was grinning victoriously, "Told you.".
As Geo shined the light at Nate, a red miasma surrounded him before converging to form a humanoid Yokai copying Nate's angry foot stomping.
This diminutive Yo-kai has orange skin with the cheeks sporting a red colored-swirl design, and squinty eyes in a perpetual angry face. He has long brown hair. He wears a purple shirt and a jade-colored vest on top, as well as khaki colored pants and sandals and tabi. Finally, he carries a small sword.
"Who's that Yokai?", Geo asked.
Whisper panickedly pulled out his Yokai Pad. "L-let's s-see. He's a-a Little Angry Samurai. N-no wait! Cranky Kid with a Sword. Actually, it's-"
"It's Hissfit.", Cosmonyan casually answered.
"Hey!", Whisper yelled for being rudely interrupted.
Name: Hissfit
Rank: E
Attribute: Fire
Tribe: Brave
"This foul-tempered little fellow stamps his feet constantly, making it hard to take him seriously.", Cosmonyan said as he read through the description.
"Aww come on! I was gonna say that!", Whisper tugged his fleshy head in anger.
"Too slow, Marshmallow!", Cosmonyan snickered. "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?", Whisper yelled at him, not liking that nickname one bit.
Geo pushed the two arguing Yokai apart, "Enough! If you guys are going to fight, do it on the Yokai Inspiriting Nate!". He then lowered his head, "I don't want to lose a new friend just because of one Yokai……..", he said sadly, clenching his fist.
That eventually made Cosmonyan calm down. "Geez. Dramatic much, kid?", Omega-Xis rolled his eyes. That's when Whisper floated around him with a curious look on his face. "I don't think I've ever seen your face in the Yokai World.", he narrowed his eyes, while Omega-Xis raised his eyebrow.
"What kind of Yokai are you?", he asked the Wizard, who simply gave him a glare that made him regret his decision, "Umm…….. F-forget what I just said.", he backed away.
"Ugh. My head hurts...", Cosmonyan groaned as he throbbed his head. "But I'm still in the game!", he shook off the dizziness and brandished his laser gun.
"Of course, Geo. Anything to help a friend in need.", Blizzaria nodded and smiled.
Robonyan F, floated in front of Geo, "Anyone who threatens Nate's dignity shall be eliminated.", before turning it's head at Geo. "I suggest we form a temporary cooperation.", it then turned it's entire body to face Geo and held it's paw to offer a handshake.
"Sure thing, Robonyan F.", Geo smiled and shook it's metallic paw.
"I'm still a little……. shocked from the fight.", he groaned painfully, but eventually shook off the ashes as he raised his paws, reenergized. "But nyobody makes Nyate shout at me! So I'm in!", he hissed at, well, Hissfit.
Then they all entered their battle stances.
"Grr! You can't defeat me! I'M STRONGER THAN YOU ALL!", Hissfit stomped his foot in rage, Nate doing the same.
Everyone sweatdropped at the Yokai's declaration. "Wow. Guess the Yokai Pad was right. How can we take him seriously?", Omega-Xis chuckled at the boisterous weakling.
"PAWS OF FURY!", Jibanyan dashed forward to throw a flurry of punches. That's when Hissfit controlled Nate in front of him, leaving the boy to take the brunt of the hit. Eventually Nate fell unconscious with his face covered in bruises and swells. Jibanyan let out a satisfying grin as he landed next to a jawdropped Geo.
"Why did you do that that for!?", Geo called out on Jibanyan for attacking the hostage. "What? I didn't hit him too hard. Besides, he deserved that for yelling at me.", Jibanyan said with a shrug. Geo simply rubbed his temples, 'You know what. I'm not gonna ask.', he wondered what kind of relationship do these guys have. But Jibanyan's right, at least they don't have to worry about the hostage anymore.
Hissfit blinked underneath his mask, or at least his mask was blinking. He definitely wasn't expecting one of his enemies to actually attack his hostage. "Not so tough without your meat shield, aren't you, little runt?", Omega-Xis snickered sadistically cracked his knuckles.
Geo gave a rather serious glare.
Cosmonyan was aiming his charging blaster at him.
Blizzaria was strengthening her blizzards around her.
Robonyan F pointed it's fists, ready to launch them.
Hissfit was shaking in fear, at this point, he was clearly outnumbered. "GAH! GET AWAY FROM ME!", he screamed before attempting to run away.
"Oh no, you don't! SHINY SNOWDRIFTS!", raising both her arms, Blizzaria swung them forward, launching a powerful blizzard at the fleeting Yokai.
"KYAAAAAAHH!!!", Hissfit screamed as the blizzard approached him, freezing him into a block of ice.
Blizzaria let out a sigh of relief. "I would say that was a little overkill, Blizzaria.", the yuki-onna turned around to look at Geo. Whose smile of nervousness turned to a gentle one, "But he deserved it for corrupting my classmate."
Blizzaria laid her arm over her mouth to hide her giggling, "You're welcome."
Geo then turned to look at Nate, who just woke up. "Ugh….. What…… happened…?", he groaned as he rubbed his face, until he noticed that it was covered in bruises and swells, making him gasp in shock, "What happened to my face!?"
Geo cringed nervously at the question, "Well, you were Inspirited by a Yokai that made you mad at me for being cooler than you. So Jibanyan had to……. beat you up to snap you out of it.", he laughed nervously.
Nate turned his head,... clanking noises can be heard as he turned with a creepy smile on his face, unnerving Jibanyan. The red Cat Yokai tried to tiptoe away.
"Jibanyan~", he greeted with a creepy sing-song tone. The red nekomata froze. "Why did you purify me by punching my face~?"
Jibanyan turned around nervously, "Umm…… Nyothing?" Whisper crossed his arms, "Nothing? I thought you wanted to get back at Nate for yelling at you for being defeated by Cosmonyan rather easily?", he remarked. "Dagnyabbit! Whisper!", Jibanyan hissed at him for being a tattletale.
That's when Nate brandished a giant paper fan, "Jibanyan…… I'M SO GONNA-", Nate was about to give him a slap of the lifetime, but was stopped by Geo's hug.
"I'm so sorry, Nate. I didn't mean to make you jealous of me.", Geo's words were full of remorse, all because he felt like he was being insensitive to someone who could potentially be his friend. "Sometimes I knew something like this would happen and I kept beating myself up for it.",.soon Geo released him from the hug. Nate gave a confused look.
"But Geo, you're so cool. While I'm just an average kid…...", Nate started counting his fingers. You're super smart, good at sports, not to mention charming.", he quietly mumbled about the last part, "You even have a Yokai Watch just like me!", Nate held up his Yokai Watch U. "Why would you hate yourself?", the average boy asked.
"Because I made you jealous of me. I'd gave away those things if it meant not losing my friends, or potential friends like you, Nate……..", Geo said sorrowfully before sitting on a rectangular pipe. Nate couldn't help but cringe in guilt for making him blame himself for being antagonized.
"No…..", Nate said, his eyes shadowed.
"What?", Geo looked at Nate, his head hung low. Then Nate sat down next to him.
"It's not your fault. I should've overreacted because of you being handsome. If I haven't let my emotions get the best of me, I wouldn't be Inspirited in the first place.", Nate said.
Geo smiled gently, "You really love Katie, don't you?"
Nate blushed before chuckling goofily, "W-well…. She's so pretty. She's kind. Not to mention we've known each other since kindergarten. And I've been having a crush on her ever since.", he scratched his reddening cheek.
"If that's the reason you're jealous of me, then you don't have to worry.", said Geo as he faced the sunset. "Because I liked someone else."
Now it's Nate's turn to tease him, "Oh? And who would that be? Was it Luna?", he smirked slyly.
Geo stuttered with a blush before shook his head, "Uh uh. She's like a big sister to me. Someone I liked lived somewhere I used to live."
"Echo Ridge, right? What made you transfer from your high tech school all the way to here?", Nate asked, dangling his legs.
"Well, to be honest, Prez wanted to investigate paranormal activity in this quiet town. I didn't believe her at first, until I got this thanks to Cosmonyan.", Geo help up his Yokai Watch. "I haven't told her about it since, I haven't understand much about the Yokai lore myself enough to convince her.", he said before gazing the sunset once again.
Nate blinked, before smiling, "Well. Now you know you're not the only one with a Yokai Watch.", he said before standing up. Geo did the same.
"We haven't properly introduce ourselves lately.", Nate held his hand up, "I'm Nathan Adams, but everyone calls me Nate."
"I'm Geo. Geo Stelar.", Geo shook Nate's hand.
As the two brunette's began chatting away, Whisper, Cosmonyan, and Omega-Xis we're watching the whole conversation.
"All's well that ends well, it appears.", Whisper said.
"Yup. I'd say this has become a spark of a nyew friendship.", Cosmonyan said before offering a hand shake to Whisper. "The nyame's Cosmonyan! Pleased to meet you, Marshmallow!"
growled at the nickname, "It's Whisper, you space furball!", he then smacked Cosmonyan's paw away.
This made Cosmonyan hissed back at him, "Don't call me furball!", they both eventually butted heads, growling endlessly while Omega-Xis raised his shoulders and shook his head shamefully.
"Am I the only sane one on this planet?", he sighed. "You and I both.", Jibanyan uttered.
"Let's Recap!"
Cosmonyan: Yo, Geo! What Yokai did we met today?
Geo: Let's see. Blazion, Sproink, Swelton, Swelterrier, Blizzy, Jibanyan, Robonyan F, and Hissfit.
...
Scene changed to Swelterrier and Blizzaria sitting on a bench in the park. Both were holding hands while gazing at the sunset. "Hey, Terry.", Blizzaria asked.
"Hmm?", Swelterrier hummed as he looked at her. "Do you think you can help me form my own Cold Tribe?", she asked, her gaze fixed at the setting Sun.
Swelterrier smiled. Forming her very own clan is a very good step to making friends, and she needed help with it. "Of course, Blizzy.", he nodded.
They both gazed at each other. To Swelterrier, it's like looking at the gentle cold breeze blowing with beauty and elegance.
To Blizzaria, his handsome face hides the burning courage within his heart.
Wait, what?
Both widened their eyes after realizing that they were staring at each other. They both averted their gazes to hide their blushing cheeks.
"Oh come on! Just kiss already!", a familiar voice shot out of a nearby bush, frightening the two Yokai.
"GAH!", both Swelterrier and Blizzaria gasped as the former shot a fireball at the bush in retaliation.
"YEOW!", Cosmonyan flew out of the bush with a flame on his butt. He frantically tried to put out the fire by patting it with his paws.
Swelterrier's eye twitched in anger at the stalker, "For Enma's sake! Why in blazes are you stalking us!?", he asked angrily. Blizzaria was hiding behind Swelterrier from the stalker.
"Come on. You two have been getting along so well, I'd figured I should see it through the end.", Cosmonyan shrugged.
"Ugh! You're the worst!", Blizzaria squeaked angrily before summoning powerful icy winds, freezing Cosmonyan in place. Swelterrier and Blizzaria then left him to freeze until the next day.
"I hate to say 'I told you so.'.", Geo suddenly appeared to gave a shrug take.
"I don't.", Omega-Xis snickered.
Well, sorry for the delay, readers. I was in the middle of an exam so I had to spend my time studying. So I decided to compensate by asking this:
Would you like Nate and his new friends to interact with Class 5-1? With Hailey being the only one in that class to have a Yokai Watch, I'd thought having those two classes interacting with each other more often would be a great idea, since the canon hardly gave said class a chance to shine outside it's special segments.
Anyway, leave your answers in the Reviews section below to let me think about it.
