The next chapter of Yo-Kai Journey is here everybody. I know that it's been a while and I am sorry, I have no excuses for this one. There are some special announcements but we will get to those at the end, so for now just enjoy.
Katie stormed into her room and slammed the door close before Frostina entered, "Katie please you need to listen," she said but Katie didn't hear her.
"I can't believe Nate would keep something this big a secret from me, why didn't he tell me," Katie said in an angered tone.
"Look Katie if you would just hear me out," Frostina continued on with no success.
"Does he not trust me to deal with something like this? I thought we were done with keeping secrets from each other," Katie said.
"Katie you don't understand," Frostina said actually getting her attention, but Katie glared at her.
"No Frostina you don't understand. I liked Nate for as long as I've known him and I thought with both of us dealing with Yo-Kai we would be closer. But I guess I was wrong when he didn't mention about Casanuva, did he not think I would handle it," she said in frustration.
"No Katie that isn't it," Frostina said.
"Then why Frostina, why didn't he tell me about Casanuva," Katie said.
"Because I told him to keep it a secret from you!" Frostina shouted which caused Katie to gasp in shock.
Outside Katie's house, Kin and Gin were watching her talk about her anger with Nate. "It seems things have gone in our favor," Kin said.
"Yes, while Casanuva failed to get the girl, her anger towards the boy is most helpful," Gin said.
"Then let us not waste any more time and send her back to before they met," Kin said as she took a stone and threw it in the air.
As she did the sky grew dark and a vortex was seen from where the stone was thrown. A giant clock-like machine was seen coming out of the vortex. Gin then threw a silver gear that attached itself to the machine.
The sisters began to chant something as the center of the gears had set a flame, with the silver gear's flame being blue. The hands began to rotate as electricity began to build up. When enough electricity was gathered, the point began to gather the energy and shot a beam that was heading towards Katie.
"You told him to not tell me, why?" Katie asked confused on Frostina's reasoning.
"Because you wouldn't believe him when he told you at first," Frostina said.
"Why would I not believe him?" Katie asked still confused.
"Because Casanuva would've-," she never finished her sentence because she saw that Katie was struck by some beam before she disappeared.
"Katie, what just happened? She just disappeared; this is bad I need to go tell Nate right now," Frostina said as she left to find Nate, unaware on how Shadow Venoct saw what just happened.
"It's them," he said as he closed the closet and remained in solitude.
*With Katie*
The last thing Katie remembered was Frostina explaining why Nate didn't tell her about Casanuva, and then she found herself in what seemed like some other world with rainbow energy everywhere. She felt herself being pulled back and she looked back to see a bright opening. "Where am I?" she asked before getting completely sucked in.
Katie heard an alarming sound and she opened her eyes up to find herself in a familiar environment. She looked around and saw that she was in her room, but it was different.
For one there was way more pink then there usually is in her room. Another thing that was different there were shelves full of dolls that Katie hasn't used since she was five. One last noticeable thing that was different was that her closet seemed empty, before she always felt some presence whenever Shadow Venoct was there but now she didn't feel it.
Curious she went up to it and opened but didn't see Shadow anywhere, but she did see clothes that were too little for her. "What the heck did my clothes shrink?" she asked herself but noticed that her voice was different as well.
"What on earth is going on, it's like I got younger again," Katie said before she saw herself in the mirror and had a wide eye expression from what she saw. She was smaller now and she was wearing a different set of clothing. She wore a pink t-shirt with a white heart on it, blue shorts, black shoes, and two heart head bands that were holding her hair in pigtails instead of her usual ponytail. She also noticed that her necklace wasn't on her. "What is happening right now?" she asked herself as she pinched herself to see if it was all a dream, it wasn't.
"Katie are you awake, you're going to be late for your first day at school," she heard her mother call. Confused Katie checked the calendar to ad saw that it was marked as the first day of school in bright pink marker. What was most shocking was the year, 2009.
"I was just sent back in time," Katie said to herself in shock. Freaking out a bit, she took deep breaths and tried to think of what she was going to do to get back to her time. After a couple of minutes she decided to try to act like everything is normal while trying to find out how to get back.
She went downstairs and saw her parents at the dining table who were younger than usual. They already had pancakes set up, "Morning sweetie, are you excited for your first day of school," her mom said.
"I sure am, I can't wait to go," Katie said trying to sound excited.
"That's nice dear, now just eat your breakfast and I'll walk you to school," her dad explained.
"Ok," Katie said before she started to eat her pancakes
After she finished, she grabbed her backpack and waited for her dad at the door. While waiting she couldn't help but notice her pigtails, there was a reason why she switched from pigtails to a ponytail but she couldn't remember. She could only remember that it somehow involved Nate, and that was when she realized something, she was sent back before she ever met Nate. She was a bit sad at first, but then remembered on how he didn't tell her about Casanuva and quickly got over it.
With her mind all sorted out, her dad came and walked her to the school.
*Present time*
Nate was walking home and didn't even bother to look up; he was still upset on how Katie got mad at him, which didn't go unnoticed by Whisper. "Nate I think Dismarelda, is around here somewhere, because you seem awfully gloomy," Whisper said trying to lighten up the mood.
"Not now Whisper," Nate said annoyed.
Seeing his attempt fail, Whisper was about to say something else but was interrupted when they heard Frostina behind them. "Guys, guys we got a problem," she said with worry in her voice.
"Frostina what happened, I thought you were going to explain Katie about what happened," Nate said confused.
"I tried to, but I didn't get the chance. Just when I was about to tell she just suddenly disappeared after some sort beam struck her," Frostina said.
Nate suddenly went to a state of both shock and worry, "What do you mean she just disappeared, what happened?!"
"I don't know she just vanished. I came to find you as soon as it happened," Frostina said.
"So what should we do?" Whisper asked.
"We need to find her, Whisper get Jibanyan and tell him to search all of Springdale," Nate said.
"On it," Whisper said as he left to get Jibanyan.
"Nate do you think Katie's ok?" Frostina asked with worry in her voice.
"I'm not sure Frostina, but I hope so," Nate replied.
*In the depths of the Yo-Kai World*
"You two have actually succeeded in your task, well done," the dark shadow said to its two servants.
"Thank you Motojime-sama," Kin and Gin said in unison.
The three were watching Katie going through her past self and were enjoying her confusion. Motojime grinned more when it heard Katie's thought about Nate and how she forgot her sadness about him, "With her mad at the boy, she'll change her past so that they never met and their will never be obtained." The shadow started to laugh maliciously and its laugh echoed throughout its domain.
*In the past*
Katie had just arrived at the school and noticed that it hasn't changed as much, "Well Katie I'll come for you after school ok," her dad said.
"Ok bye daddy," Katie said as she headed towards the school.
As she entered the gates she saw something that nearly freaked her out, she saw Nate. She noticed that he was wearing the same attire that he usually does, including the three spikes in his hair. Now if she really was five she would think Nate looked cool, but since she was eleven she couldn't help but think that young Nate looked adorable. Just thinking it made her blush a bit.
She started to walk up to him but stopped when she remembered that they haven't met yet. Come to think of it, Katie can't remember how exactly they met; she could only remember that it happened on this day. Putting it aside she went into the school while still trying to figure out how to get back to her time.
Once inside her class, her teacher had her class introduce themselves to the whole classroom. After a few students introduced themselves, it was Katie's turn. She stood up, "Hello I'm Katie, I like cats, candy, and I hope to make some new friends here," she said before she sat back down.
"Thank you Katie," the teacher said before she looked down at her list, "Nate could you please introduce yourself."
At the call of his name Nate stood up to introduce himself, "Hello my name is Nate, I like dogs and I enjoy talking with others. I hope I get to know all of you."
As he sat back down Katie heard some of the students whisper behind her, "Is it me or does Nate seem a bit average."
"Yeah it's like there isn't anything special about him."
"Maybe that might change as the day goes by."
Katie was quite shocked to hear that some of the students think that Nate is average; sure she thought that but not anymore since she learned of his involvement in Yo-Kai. She couldn't help but feel sorry for calling Nate that when she knew that he didn't like it.
As the day went by Katie overheard more of the students call Nate average and during lunch she overheard some older kids calling him that. "So this was when people started calling Nate average, if only they knew the truth about him." She thought to herself.
*In present time*
Nate, along with Whisper, Jibanyan, Frostina, and Sailornyan, have searched all of Springdale for Katie but still haven't found a trace of her. They even got the help of other Yo-Kai to search for her but all came with the same result.
"Where could she be?" Frostina asked.
"I'm nyot sure, I'm starting to get worried," Sailornyan said.
"We searched all of Springdale and still have no clue of Katie's whereabouts," Whisper said.
"This is exactly like when Jibanyan went missing after we had that fight about me calling him a pet," Nate said.
Hearing that caused Jibanyan to have a surprised face. "Hey Whisper let's check over there," he said trying to find an excuse for them to talk without the other's hearing.
"I still don't see her Jibanyan and didn't we already check here?" Whisper asked confused on what they were doing here.
"We did but there was something I needed to let you know and Nyate can't know about it," Jibanyan said which made the butler curious. "There's a chance that those two bad Yo-Kai are behind Katie's disappearance."
This shocked Whisper, "Are you sure?"
"Definitely, Nyate said this was like when I disappeared and that was because of them. Things aren't looking good here," Jibanyan said.
"So what should we do?" Whisper asked.
"There's nothing we can't do, it's up to Katie nyow. Whenever she is," Jibanyan said.
*In the past*
School ended and Katie was just leaving the school. As she was heading towards the gate she saw Nate waiting near the gate. "Maybe I should introduce myself to him, even if I'm stuck as young me I might as well have him with me," Katie thought. As she was heading towards Nate, she noticed a group of older kids heading towards him as well.
"So you're the one people been talking about, the one who's average," one of them said. Nate didn't say a thing which was a mistake on his part. "Hey I'm talking to you brat," he said as he shoved Nate down.
Katie was shocked what was happening to Nate right now. That was when she saw her dad coming and got an idea. She went up to him, "Daddy is that boy ok?" she asked in worry.
Her dad turned to what she was gesturing to and saw Nate in trouble, "Katie stay here I'm going to go get someone to help," he said as he left to find help.
Katie watched in horror as Nate was being tormented by the bullies. She couldn't stand watching this and to help somehow. She didn't even realize when she started to run towards them.
*In the depths of the Yo-Kai world*
"No, no, NO! If she meets the boy all of this will be for nothing!" The shadow shouted in anger.
"We shall stop her Motojime-sama," Kin and Gin said before they were stopped.
"No, you two have failed before, I shall be the one who stops her this time," the shadow said as he vanished.
When Katie finally realized what she was doing, the events that led to her meeting with Nate suddenly came back to her. It was just like what was happening right now, with Nate being bullied and her standing up for him.
Just when she was about to reach them, everything went dark and she couldn't move. "W-what's happening?" she asked in shock.
"Why!?" she heard a voice say. She then saw a shadow rise from nowhere and it towered her. "Why do you insist on helping this boy? After he didn't trust you to tell you about Casanuva."
Katie realized that it was right and remembered when Nate kept that a secret from her. "It also true that your so called friends aren't truly your friends to keep it a secret from you as well," the shadow added. Katie then remembered how Frostina didn't tell her as well and she was the one who told Nate to keep it a secret. "See, why bother with the boy after what he has done to you. Change your fate, turn away now and relive your life without this boy, without the Yo-Kai."
Katie realized that the shadow was right, she could just forget about Nate and live a new life without him. The more she thought about what he did, the more tempting it was. Just when she made up her mind she suddenly remembered all the good times she had with Nate, the time she enjoyed with him, and how it was something she didn't want to be a waste.
"No," she said quietly but it got the shadows attention.
"What," it hissed.
"I said no, I don't want to leave Nate. I l-, I love Nate and I don't to want to live a life without him!" Katie shouted. As she shouted that, everything started to crack around her.
The shadow looked in anger, "How is this possible, this can't be!" it shouted before it vanished. The dark realm she was in completely shattered and everything was back to normal. Katie continued heading towards Nate and the bullies.
"Just leave me alone," Nate said weakly.
"Or else what, your too average to stop us," one of the bullies said mockingly.
"Leave him alone!" Katie shouted as she stood between them.
"Ah that's sweet, you got your girlfriend protecting you," another bully said.
Katie blushed a bit but didn't let it get to her. "Hey what are you doing?!" somebody said. Katie turned and saw her teacher and her dad coming their way.
"Oh crud, let's book it guys," one of the said before they ran away.
"Katie are you ok?" Katie's dad asked.
"Yeah I'm fine," Katie replied. She then turned towards Nate, "Hey are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm ok thanks. My name's Nate by the way," he said giving his hand to shake.
"I'm Katie, nice to meet you," she said while shaking his hand.
Her father looked at them with a smile, "Hey Nate why don't we take you home I'm sure your parents won't mind," he offered.
"Thanks," Nate said.
They were on their way to the car when Nate said something, "Hey Katie I like your pigtails, they look nice on you."
Katie blushed a deep red, "Oh uh, thank you Nate."
"But I think it would look cuter on you if you had it in a ponytail," Nate offered blushing a bit as well.
Katie blushed even harder when he said that and also realized why she changed hairstyle, because Nate said she would look better in a ponytail.
As she continued walking she felt that she wasn't moving any forward and was standing in place. She was confused even further when she saw Nate walk to the car with her younger self. She then saw that she was back to her normal age and was slowly rising into the sky and she was begun to light up. "What's going on now," was all she could say before she disappeared.
*In the present*
Nate was still looking for Katie along with the others, "Where could she be?" he asked.
"We searched all of Springdale and still haven't found her, I don't like this at all," Frostina said in worry.
They then heard a faint sound that was slowly getting closer, "Does anyone else hear that?" Jibanyan asked.
When it got close enough they heard the sound was coming from above them and when they looked up, they were shocked when they saw Katie falling from the sky. Everyone had wide-eyed expressions, "What the heck?! Frostina can you blow an ice wind to slow her fall?!"
"I'm on it," Frostina said as she blew an ice wind up towards Katie. When she was slow enough, Nate got below her to catch her, but she was still falling a bit fast that Nate fell to the ground when he caught her.
When they recovered, Nate helped Katie back up and the two were in a moment of silence before Nate said something, "Katie what happened, where were you?"
"I'm not sure, after I got mad at you Frostina tried to explain to me about Casanuva but then I was sent back when I was five years old," Katie replied.
Nate looked confused for a bit but he soon got over it. "Look Katie I'm sorry for not telling you about Casanuva, but Frostina knew him and if I tried to tell you about him then he would've made you think that I was jealous and you wouldn't believe me," Nate explained.
Katie gasped from what Nate told her and realized why Frostina told him to keep Casanuva a secret. She then looked down with a guilty face, "Nate I'm sorry for getting mad at you like that, I should've listened to you. I guess I'm not a great friend." She was trying to hold back tears.
"What no Katie don't say that, that isn't true you're an amazing friend, you shouldn't blame yourself. I'm just glad you're ok," Nate said trying to cheer her up.
She looked up at him, "Really?" Nate nodded. Smiling, Katie hugged Nate which caused him, and her as well, to go red. "Thank you Nate," she said before she released him and pecked his cheek.
"Well today has been an eventful day," Whisper stated.
"Yes it has, hopefully things will start to calm down now," Frostina said.
"I wouldny't be too sure about that," Jibanyan said to himself.
Zane looked at the two watch holders and smiled, "I'm glad that everything is alright between the two of them. Hey Sled," he said turning to the faceless Yo-Kai, "Did the others get my message?"
"Indeed, they are currently on their way Crafter Z," Sled informed his master.
"Good, we need their help. We may have won this battle, but the war has just begun and the enemy is going to make their next move very soon," Crafter Z said.
*In the depths of the Yo-Kai world*
"It seems I have underestimated these humans and I see when you two had trouble trying to get rid of their watches. You two are spared for now," the giant shadow said.
"Thank you, Motojime-sama," Kin and Gin said.
"However, we will need more help if we want to get rid of the watches, and I think I know just who," Motojime said before letting out another echoing cackle.
And this chapter is now over. Wow I am doing a lot of long chapters now for some reason. Ok time for the announcements, first off I want to state that I am currently doing a Yo-Kai Watch collab with my pal Pikatwig, the first chapter is already up and it's called "Operation: Katie Rescue." The title tells you all that there is to know so make sure to check it out.
Next announcement, after thinking about it for a while and reading a guest review about it, I decided that I'm going to be doing another side-story called, "A Loner's Love," which explains what happens between Casanono and Sandi and how they're relationship begins to repair itself. The only problem is the order of how I update these stories, as of now I'm doing first Yo-Kai Journey, then A Loner's Love, and then Katie's New Friends. So it's going to take a while until you can see the next chapters to these stories.
Also if you were to check my profile, I made a time line on what order my Yo-Kai Watch stories will be posted. I might give the summary on some of them but not all of them because I don't want to give spoilers to those that are a direct sqaual.
Also I want to make one thing clear, I already knew that Blizzaria and Frostina are the same person in the anime but they will still be different people in this story just wanted to get that out.
Ok so before we get to the review's reply I just want to state one thing, if you're a guest and you want to ask a question, please leave a name so it makes it easier to respond to you, with that said let's do this.
MewLover27: That was a good guess but sorry, nope.
Khalirendwe24: He'll make some more appearances soon.
SuperSonicBros123: Thank you for understanding my problem with this argument my friend and I are having, I know it's a stupid argument but he just refuses to accept that.
Skydragonknight57: I have a story for Yo-Kai Watch that is based on crossovers, just have to wait and see.
Seventeenproductions: They'll be in here soon.
Anon: Blizzaria will still have some features from the anime, but I will change her to make her better than how she is on the anime.
Striker: Um ok, thanks for the compliment and I hope that these people didn't kill you.
Autumn: They might appear here but will most likely appear in Katie's New Friends.
AverageLOLOLOLOL: They'll get the Model Zero after this story but I have different plans for Katie when it comes to different watches.
Florauto: Oh trust me; there will be plans for her and Blizzaria here.
Ok I also want to say that the next few chapter will be taking a break from the main plot and focus on the more humorous parts of Yo-Kai Watch. So in other words they'll be filler chapters, but only two of them before we get back into the action.
Also to answer a guest review on whether Azure Dragon and Frostail will be here, it's a probable maybe on that.
Anyways, if you guys enjoyed please leave a review and a suggestion for the story. Thank you and stay alert for the next chapter.
