The vortex opened right up with Whisper landing first perfectly. "Huh? I did it unharmed? Well, that wasn't as…"

Before he could finish the sentence, the others landed on top of him.

"Yeah, this is more like what I expected." Whisper said.

"Man, is this familiar or what?" Hope asked seeing the old Harrisvile and Springdale.

"Wait, you mean youve actually been here before?" Nate asked.

"Its a very long story." Erica said.

"Grrrah!" shouted a person as a man weirdly walked towards them.

"That human...he's possessed by a Wicked Yo-kai." Hovernyan said.

"You mean Kaima right?" Hope said.

"Kaima, Wicked yokai, whatever, lets beat it out of him already!" Joseph said.

"I'll inspirit you next!" the guy said as the Wicked Yo-kai flew out and into Whisper.

"Hehehehahaha!" Whisper laughed.

"That aint good." Hope said. "And this happened before.

"So… should we just leave him be?" Nate asked.

"Nah. Help is already here." Hope said.

Dashing in came an all to familiar sight of a boy looking like nate, but having sandals, a scarf, and wielding a club, he bashed Whisper continuously until the Yo-kai left his body.

"Nathanial, you can stop now." Hovernyan said.

"Huh? It left? Yes!" the boy said before doing a pose. "Tetetete! Tete! Guts!"

"Yes! He still poses according to Kamen Guts and not that English Dub knockoff!" Hope said.

"Its the englsih name that gets you, nothing else?" Nathaniel asked.

"Yeah. Who even names a guy that? Some idiot who works on kids tv I bet." Lacy said.

"Defending the world with love, guts and courage. Kamen Guts! Invincible Champion! Defender of all! The World is my friend!" Nathaniel said.

"Nate, next you'll say...this guys supposed to be my grandfather? Now." Joseph said.

"This guys supposed to be my grandfather?" Nate asked.

"Huh? You guys look really strange. I've never seen any of you around here before. And I notice you have Yo-kai with you." Nathaniel said.

"Hope, if youve been here before, what do you think will happen now?" Joseph said.

"In a split second after we try to explain the situation to Nathaniel and why we need his help, he'll turn us down, preferring to work alone." Hope said.

Nathaniel gasped. "That's exactly what I plan to do." Nathaniel said running off. "Kamen Guts away!"

"Still, if im right, the source of the time disturbance is like last time." Hope said.

"Yeah. Someone or thing has altered the flow of time so Nathaniel never made the Yokai watch." Gemini said.

"Hmm. Follow me." Hovernyan said.

The group followed the floating cat to an old shack in the woods.

"He shouldn't be here right now. This shack is Nathaniel's secret hideout. It used to be an old loggers shed." Hovernyan said.

"Im guessing Nathanels also had some scrapes with Yokai?" Joseph asked.

"Hes saved lots of them." Hovernyan said grabbing a bag. "They write their names on these milk bottle caps." he said showing five of them.

"There's only five? Wow. Things look different in this time line." Hope said as Hiyoko looked at them.

"All of them are names of classic Yo-kai. Faux Kappa, Gnomey, Mermaidyn, Predictabull and Pallysol." Hiyoko said.

"You still havent told us why we're really here." Fuyuhiko said.

"I need you to find them and free them. But for your mechanic, I have a larger task for him." Hovernyan said showing a notebook, opening it to show designs for a strange yet familiar watch.

"This is that watch all right. The Yo-kai watch Type Zero." Hope said.

"Yes. I want him to build the watch while the rest of you find and free his friends." Hovernyan said.

"This is a tall order, Soda. Y'really think you can make one?" Ibuki asked.

"Well, its like making a normal watch, which I've done before on my spare time at the bike shop, so this should be perfect." Kazuichi said.

"Good." Hovernyan said. "Now, I should explain the state of Nathaniel's friends. In short, the Kaima turned them to stone. But, I believe if you free them in the present where the spell is weak, we can get them back."

"So we travel back and forth between present and here to complete the missons. Sounds good." Hope said.

'Good. Now, to call my friend." HOvernyan said whistling as a large vanity mirror appeared before them. "This is Miradox, a Yo-kai known to help people travel between places in time."

"We use this to go from past to present and vice versa. Gotcha." Hope said.

"Good luck." Kazuichi said as they went through the mirror. "Now, I gotta do my part."

Back in the present, the group arrived in present Harrisville.

"Okay. He wrote the locations on these caps." Mahiru said. "Faux Kappa and Gnomey and Pallysol should still be in this village. Predictabull is in the Excellent Tower in Springdale and Mermaidyn is in a sea cave in San Fantastico, a small fishing town."

"We could tackle them one at a time. Or we could split up." Nate said.

"That never turns out good, nate." Whisper said.

"So we'll start with the closest 3 here." Hope said before his watch beeped menacingly as some sort of red demon appeared. "Uh oh…"

"Uh oh what?" Hiyoko said as everything turned gray. "And why is everything all gray and foggy?!"

"Whatever its gotta be, it cant be anything good…" Korra said.

"Terror Time." Gemini said shaking as a familiar red oni crashed down with a loud roar.

"What the hell is that thing?!" Fuyuhiko shouted.

"An oni! They do exist!" Hiyoko said.

"Not just any oni, my freinds! That's Gargaros!" Whisper said. "He only comes when Terror Time is in effect. I'll put it bluntly, WE NEED TO RUN!"

"Dont gotta tell me twice! Outta my way!" Jibanyan said running ahead as Gargaros started moving.

"Dont just stand there! Move, move, move!" Hope said as they bolted.

"How long do we keep running?" Teruteru asked.

"We have to keep going until we find the exit. If we find it, we can escape." Law said.

"And how are we supposed to do that?" Fuyuhiko asked.

"Hide somewhere for now, and the moment you see a sliding door, run for it. That's the exit." Law said.

"You mean that thing over there?" Lacy said seeing a golden door of in the distance.

"Thats it! Go straight for it!" Whisper said.

They ran to the door and slid it open just as Gargaros almost had them, but as they were all through, Terror Time ended.

"Whoo…" Hope said.

"Man, that came outta nowhere…" Ibuki said.

"But why did we run? We could have fought that thing." Joseph said.

"Sure, you could fight it, if you don't mind being pursued by thousands of other oni." Whisper said.

"Regardless, we need to be more careful." Hope said.

After getting their bearings, they continued their mission and traveled around Harrisvile, searching for the three located there. Inside Nate's Grandmother's house, they found Gnomey, who the group knew already but handed over his medal regardless. On a bridge near the waterfall, they freed Faux Kappa, who they battled before befriending. And on the cliffs, they saw Pallysol and freed him as well. Time soon came to leave the town and go to Excellent Tower and San Fantastico.

At excellent tower…

"Were supposed to climb up that?" Fuyuhiko said looking up at the tower and its modern amazingness.

"Relax. There's an elevator inside." Nate said.

"Oh, good." Hope said as they walked inside where they saw the elevator repairman beside it yawning. "What the?"

"Yeah. I've trying to decide how to fix it or if I should fix it at all." he said.

Hope shined his yo kai watch to see a small dragon near the elevators.

"So, Y'found me?" it asked

"You're making him this way? Who are you?" Hope asked.

"He is Draaaggin, a yo-kai that makes a person put off making a final decision, continually dragging on." Whisper read.

"Ah, all he needs is a little motivation, right?" Akane asked. "Hey, mayve you should call that fire lion guy?"

Hope took out Blazions Dream medal. "Blazion? Well, putting him on the job might be a but over kill, but… eh, what the heck. I'm feeling lucky too." Hope said.

"So this is a luck based dream medal?" Nagito asked.

"I suppose you want a crack at it, Mr. God-Like Luck?" Joseph asked.

"Very well. Come on out, my friend! Calling Blazion! Yo-kai medal do your thing!"

Its….Brave Time! Goal...Roulette!

Brave, Brave Brave Brave

What is going on?

There!

Its a Brave!

Blazion eyed a soccer goal as he ran at the ball and kicked it, knocking it into the goal.

"Goaaal!"

Blazion then danced and celebrated after that.

"Blazion!"

"Astounding! Not a lot of people get a good dream medal result on the first try!" Whisper said.

"You wanna talk luck? Nagito's a god with it." Damien said.

"Now, let's get this guy moving!" Hope said as Blazion leapt into the repair man.

"Yeah! Let's fix us an elevator!" he shouted going to work.

"Man, so much for my day. Now, should I go home or stay here? Man. I'll think about it." Draaagin said.

"How about you give us your medal while youre thinkin about it?" Ibuki asked.

"Well, thats an easy decision. Here ya go." Draaagin said surrendering his medal to them.

After the elevator was fixed, they took it to the observation deck where they fixed a small bull in a kimono.

"Ah, you came just as I had foreseen it." he said.

"He can see like a clairvoyant?" Hiyoko asked.

"Exactly, my dancer friend. Predicatbull has the uncanny ability to see into the future." Whisper said. "Not bad, even for a Classic Yo-kai."

"We need you back in the past to help Nathaniel. You in?" Hope asked.

"Indeed." Predictabull said giving them his medal before vanishing.

"Now all we need is Mermaidyn so we're off to San Fantastico." Nate said.

It was a long train ride before they finally came to the fishing village. It was a treck, but they finally found Nignyo, now dubbed Mermadyn in a small sea cave.

"Great. Now we free her and…" Whisper began before a pirate jumped out.

"Argh! No one touches me statuesque beauty. She's going to be me bride. So says Capn Crash!" the pirate said.

"Bride?" Espio asked.

"Yes. After losing many a ship to find her again, I wound up in a sea o regret. And I won't let you scallywags lay a finger on her." Capn Crash said.

"Dude, youre crazy.' Hoep said.

"Oh stop, lets just thrash him already." Joseph said. " You'll have a taste of my Hamon!"

"Don't think so matey." Capn Crash said pulling out a steering wheel. "Turn Right!" he shouted as Joseph did the same.

"What the?" Joseph said.

"That isnt normal." Hope said. "Okay savvy, say cheese!"

He shined his yo kai watch light on Capn Crash, making him turn into a larger pirate with an eye patch, some fish features and a large anchor over his shoulder.

"Ah hah! Hes a boss yokai!" Hope said.

"I knew that ability and name looked familiar!" Whisper said. "Listen here, Capn Crash can make anyone turn the wrong way just by steering his captains wheel." Whisper said.

"Yar har har har! That be right! I'm the master of these seven seas." Capn Crash said.

"So he can rederect our attacks. Gonna take a new approach with him." Hope said.

"Try using a Yo-kai that can mess up his aim." Nate said. "Wait I got it! This is a new one I got. Come on out, my friend! Calling Papa Windbag! Yo-kai Medal do your thing!"

Oh! Summoning time.

Jazzy music played as an old man with red skin and a fan on his head marched down with his thumbs out.

"Summoning Eerie."

"Papa Windbag!"

"Whoa, that is a new one. What can you do?" Hope asked.

"Watch and learn, sonny." Papa Windbag said inspiriting the captain.

"Well, since I'm like, the king of the seas, I can toss an old wheel like a frisbee!" Capn Crash said tossing his wheel into the ocean.

"Whoa, no care in th world!" Fuyuhiko said.

"Correction, my boy. Papa Windbag can make a person proclaim themselves a master of anything, even though some of these things are done with no effort." Whisper said.

Joseph then slammed his fitds as the others came up to him as Papa Wind ba came out of him.

"Er…" Capn crash said.

"You're about to get some rough seas." Hope said. "Beatdown time!"

"Aw, yeah!" Akane said as they charged to him and beat him until he faded out.

"No fish bride for you, buddy." Hope said as Mermydyn was freed.

"Oh, hey! Its you guys!" Mermaydin said.

"Sorry we took so long. By the way, love the name you go by now." Erica said.

"Aw. Just for that, I will help." Mermaidyn said giving her medal before vanishing.

"Now let's get back to the past!" Korra said.

Upon returning to the past, they saw Nathaniel and Hovernyan locked in battle with Kin and Gin.

"Kin and Gin!" Gemini said. "The faithful Henchmen to the always angry… Lady Ubaune!"

"The Shining Hope Squad!" Kin said.

"We should have known they'd mess with us eventually, even after trapping their little friends in time." Gin said.

"How are you two back already? Ubaune got beat, remember? And you two got ghosted." Hope said.

"Don't underestimate us, boy." KIn said holding a time stone.

"The power of time travel is never too far from us. All we did was escape into an alternate timeline. One where our leader was still around." Gin said.

"Oh, and she no longer goes by Ubaune. Like most other Classics, she has a fancy name too. From now on, you can address her as.. Dame Dedtime!" Kin said.

"And yet you two and Dou didnt get new titles? Sad." Hope said. "But we beat you and Dedtime once before, we can do it again."

"Even without your Dimensional Hero friends to get your back?" Gin said as she and Kin laughed.

"Yeah, about that…" Law said stepping out from behind. "Not all of us fell for your trick."

"What the?" Kin said.

"Next time, send more competent henchmen. Room!" Law shouted as a film surrounded the area.

"Aw, nuts…" Gin said.

"Punishment!" Hope said.

"Radio Knife!" Law shouted as the two were cut up into pieces with an electric charged slash yet they still moved.

"What the? We can't pull ourselves together." Gin said.

"You won't be able to for a while. Now is a good time for you to run before I decide to take you out permanently." Law said.

Kin and gin scrambled out.

"This isnt over! Already, our Minions search for powerful beings like your size-changer and rubber glutton. We will not let our master be beat a second time!" Gin said as they left.

"Like us… more enchanced?" Hope said.
