Intermission 5: Farewell, St. Peanutsburg! To the Starry Sky and Sea!
Snow was beginning to lightly fall over the sight of St. Peanutsburg, giving a calm, peaceful presence all around town. The gentle fall of snow slowed everything down, chatter was much more quiet as everyone seemed to have admired the peaceful scenery
Back at Kiara's apartment, she was finishing packing up items. She made sure every single valuable piece of merch she owned was in bubble wrap and valuably placed together. Outside of her bed baren, desk, and a few now empty shelves, Kiara realized how lonely the tone was. The summoner even dressed nice, having a nice azure coat with a golden mermaid tail patched to one side of it and nice pants. She still wore her combat boots, scarf with the medal case clipped to it and of course her yokai watch.
"What's going on Kiara?" Solarnyan questioned, noticing how barren things are in the usually lively summoner's room. She rubbed the back of her head.
"Well, I said before that wasn't always meant to be in St. Peanutsburg for too long, I'm planned to head home tomorrow morning," Kiara remarked, coming off as a bit remorseful for once.
"I know you don't live here, but where did you originally come from again?" Lunarnyan asked, rather surprised.
"All the way in Springdale, which is pretty far from here. I have to take a plane to get back home, that's how far it is from St. Peanutsburg," Kiara informed, both nyans looking shocked at Kiara's words.
"What!? But you can't go back just yet!" Solarnyan said, panicking a little.
"But I gotta, as I said, my flight back home is tomorrow morning," Kiara remarked, still a bit down.
"Well if it is tomorrow, did you at least have fun?" Lunarnyan asked.
"...I'll admit, yes I did. I was not sure what to expect, but what happened was beyond my expectations," Kiara remarked. "Everything from finding an old friend with D-Rex, to fighting a ninja in the woods with Hanzo, having to make a quick heist with zombies in the middle of the night with Bunny Mint, to going through a burning cave with Origin. And all for pieces of an artifact I still don't know does exactly."
"Well, aside from making me and Lunarnyan stronger!" Solarnyan chirped.
"True that, and I don't think I would have been able to do all this crazy stuff without you guy's helping me out." Kiara laughed.
"Speaking of which, isn't there just one last piece to the Silver Crystal Star you need to find?" Lunarnyan asked, as Kiara opened up her compact.
And indeed the lunar feline was correct, the finished star looked almost complete, with the shards of diamond, emerald, gold, and ruby glinting in their places. There was a single spot left in the case for one last piece of the artifact.
"Do any of you have the map?" Kiara asked, looking at the compact. Solarnyan darted over and handed Kiara the old piece of paper.
"Yep! Why do you need it?" Solarnyan asked, as Kiara gave a large grin upon inspecting the map.
"Fellas, I feel we can end my time here in St. Peanutsburg with a bang," Kiara stated, pointing to the map. Indeed, the location of the final Silver Crystal Star shard has been revealed, on a large cliff just north of where Kiara is, facing towards the sea. "And I don't mean just any regular bang, I'm talking big tokusatsu explosions kind of a bang."
"So you're saying we should run up a large mountain despite your leave that requires you to get up at five in the morning?" Solarnyan responded with, as Kiara nodded.
"You bet, and we're going to make it awesome too!" Kiara replied with only the most extreme of enthusiasm as she cracked her knuckles. "Now we gotta go, we ain't just gonna let some shiny object sit on it's own!"
Before Kiara left, she made sure to take a note of one thing.
"Sophie, can you make sure the door is locked?" Kiara asked. "Sorry to leave you so suddenly, I got summoner things to do."
"It's okay, miss Kiara!" Sophie chirped up, peeking up from behind the couch. "But, I'll come and help you if you're in danger."
"...How will you know that kiddo? We may be very far away," Solarnyan asked.
"I dunno, I just have gut instinct to where trouble is for my friends," Sophie shrugged. "Some say I got that instinct from my papa but I dunno."
"Well, we will try to come home safe, we can fend off danger pretty well on our own," Kiara said, looking at her nyan companions. "Right guys?"
"Right, we can handle danger like it's nothing!" Solarnyan responded with plenty of enthusiasm.
"Indeed, threats are easily handled when we are working together!" Lunarnyan added to her solar counterpart.
Soon enough, Kiara and her feline companions were already out the door, ready for whatever was going to be brought their way. The snow seemed to have been falling a little bit harder now, but was that going to stop the summoner? No way, nothing was going to stop her. She was on a mission, and a little bit of snow wasn't going to even delay the summoner.
A fine blanket of snow had already covered most of the town, from the grass to the trees. It was a bit of a crime to ruin such tranquility as Kiara and her posse were already on a mad dash for over the snow blanketed hills to find the final piece of the Silver Crystal Star. What powers would be granted by such a thing, if it can even do anything like that? How valuable is it? Who knows, the only way for any of them to find out is to, well, find it.
"Kiara, could you slow down a little bit?" Lunarnyan remarked, trying to keep up with the summoner.
"I would but we're kinda on a time strain here!" Kiara yelled, still running uphill quite fast. She didn't even seem that out of breath from all the running. "Besides, we gotta find that piece first before anyone else does!"
Soon, the group found themselves all on a large cliff facing to the sea, the other direction giving a nice overhead view of St. Peantusburg's northern district. It seemed so close, but was also oh so far. In the center there was a stone pillar, just chilling. It was short enough for Kiara to reach up to the snow covered top of. But once the snow was brushed away it revealed exactly what the summoner was looking for.
It was a piece of the Silver Crystal Star, casted with a sapphire blue hue. It was just there, waiting for Kiara to grab it and join with the other pieces.
So that's exactly what Kiara did. Once she reunited all five of the shards together in her case, a stunning rainbow of light that shined beautifully. This completion of the star lead Kiara to gain a lot of energy, to simply say one phrase.
"Finally, now that I have all the pieces together, I can finally say it without any interruption..." Kiara said to herself, as her two felines looked confused as to what Kiara was going to do.
Kiara did a few of her poses, before holding the completed star in the case into the air.
"I got the Silver Crystal Star!" Kiara yelled with the most enthusiasm she about ever had, and that's saying a lot given her usual energy was pretty high and upbeat. She closed the case and clipped it back onto her scarf. "Alright, end of chapter, we can all go home now for come celebratory churros!"
Though, the two nyans looked around, sniffing the air. "Umm, Kiara, I sense something in the wind," The solar cat reminded Kiara, taking a few steps back.
"Like what?" Kiara asked, taking a stance ready for some kind of action.
"It's like...the sky and ocean...like the ocean winds..." Lunarnyan informed Kiara. "Maybe a bit of sushi as well."
"Well, I ain't letting any ocean men take my crystal star by the hand!" Kiara shouted, taking a battle stance. "Now show yourself, ocean sushi whatever you are man!"
"That...is an interesting way to put things," the strange yokai said in the distance, catching Kiara's attention. "However, in the name of justice, I will not tolerate your actions!"
Nearly startling Kiara right out of her skin was the yokai her nyans were sensing. This yokai looked a lot like the book definition of a comic hero, donning in a blue suit and a matching cape that looked to be made out of water. He had a serious look on his face, seeming like he would not tolerate any of the nonsense the summoner threw at him.
"Who in the dang heck are you?" Kiara asked kinda bluntly, gripping to her case. The yokai took a more subtle stance as he proceeded to introduce himself to Kiara.
"Through the skies and ocean, rising above for all that is just and right! Of the Tough tribe and the great hero leading Super Seed, I am none other than Skyshariman!" The yokai, Skyshariman introduced himself. He didn't quite have the posing like the summoner's flavor, but Kiara knew she was going to have to out say him in her introductory line. But before that, Kiara popped a question.
"Listen my Shari dude, my man, if we're both on the side of justice, we should work together for our goals, right?" Kiara tried to talk into Skyshariman, looking for a peaceful agreement in all of this. "I mean I fight for all that is right and just, you fight for all that is right and just, we'd make a good team yeah?"
"I would not exactly call trying to piece together a powerful, very deadly artifact for personal gain someone on the side of justice," Skyshariman responded to Kiara's offering in joining forces, heavily declining the offer. "I do not even know who you are, but I have a strong feeling you are not up to any good."
"Well as for me, allow me to introduce myself to fill you in on just who I am!" Kiara began, taking up her usual assortment of poses.
"I may not be any kind of magician or wizard, but regardless, I posses the great burning justice element! The Yokai Summoner of the rainbow! Kiara Noha!" Kiara introduced herself as per usual, trying to make things seem a lot grander. Solarnyan and Lunarnyan helped by through a combination of fire and ice, made a few explosions after the summoner introduced herself.
"I'm not a lot on my own, but I have many friends on my side, fighting for all that is right!" Kiara yelled, Solarnyan and Lunarnyan standing by Kiara's side as she grabbed for her medals. Though...there was a horrifying sight to behold.
"...I swear I had more than just four medals..." Kiara said, getting the medals she had. There was only Solarnyan, Lunarnyan, Dr. Kagemura, and Snow Rabby's medals in her possession.
All the other medals Kiara had obtained were gone. She wear she didn't leave them at home by accident, she always made sure her medals were in properly before leaving...
Soon it became clearer as all of Kiara's missing yokai: Origin, Bunny Mint, Hanzo, and D-Rex all were standing against Kiara.
"Guys, this is some kind of joke, right?" Kiara asked the other four yokai. "I mean you really wouldn't leave me out like this?"
"When asked who's loyalty I'd pledge to more, I pledge more to my team," Hanzo stated rather bluntly.
"Besides, we didn't want some dangerous artifact to fall into the hands of someone evil or dangerous," Bunny Mint added to the ongoing comment.
"Which is why we got insight to you, since you seemed to have been after the artifact," Origin finished, only raising questions for the side of the summoner.
"I don't understand, why would you guys even do this!?" Solarnyan yelled in questioning. "Don't you know medals are a sign of friendship!?"
"How did you even track us!?" Lunarnyan questioned as well, just as confused. "The only way to even track pieces of the Silver Crystal Star is through some old magical map!"
"I believe you forget that all of us, we're a part of a team," Bunny Mint added in, as she pointed to D-Rex next to her. Kiara to say the least was beyond disgruntled.
"No way, buddy how could you even do that to me?!" Kiara yelled in shock, almost sounding angry. "I thought we were friends, and you choose to do this!?"
D-Rex only offered silence, not wanting to speak. He knew if he did, he would upset one or possibly even both sides in this situation. Kiara clenched her fist, before taking a stance once more.
"If it's a five versus five match you want, it's a match you're going to get!" Kiara concluded, knowing she had no choice but to fight back this time. She quickly inserted the medals for her two remaining yokai to be summoned forth.
The summoning sounds for Mysterious and Shady yokai played as by Kiara's side were the yokai Snow Rabby and Dr. Kagemura. The looks on both of their faces seemed sudden, shocked even.
"I just got done with an incredibly important operation merely ten minutes ago, is there a reason you call us forth, summoner?" Dr. Kagemura asked, confused and slightly disgruntled.
"Even if it was an emergency operation given by whoever the dang heck is in charge of the yokai world, we got a serious challenge up ahead for us!" Kiara answered.
"Well, about that," Snow Rabby began to explain. "It was a heavy emergency operation given to us by Lord Enma himself, so we're a bit out of it after that happening."
"Either way, I don't think there's any backing out from this one," Solarnyan said, about ready to go after the other side.
"Yeah, we're going to need all the power we can get for this one," Lunarnyan added in.
"We got no more time to waste stalling on this one!" Kiara energetically stated, getting out her yokai blaster. "Now, vamola! Let's go like the bravest we are!"
As the summoner let out her battle cry, everyone charged to find their fight and well, fight back. It was now a full out battle for the Silver Crystal Star, whether it was defending or taking, it was sure to be a fight of the century.
The first to fare against one another were the two rabbit yokai, Snow Rabby and Bunny Mint. They didn't exactly get down to a serious throw down, mostly eyeing one another.
"I have to say, you look rather cute in that." Bunny Mint complemented to the albino rabbit.
"Oh really? Why thank you very much," Snow Rabby responded sweetly, honestly rather flattered. Well, at least before Bunny Mint responded with a kick to the other rabbit yokai's face.
"But never as good as me," Bunny Mint responded rather coldly. Snow Rabby tried her best to get back on up.
"I may be an ice cold rabbit, but my heart is warm!" Snow Rabby tried to come back with. "And much, much warmer than yours!"
As the two rabbits kept on fighting, Solarnyan was trying to face something a big larger than himself.
By that, Solarnyan, a small feline, was trying to duke it out with a T-rex at least ten times his size.
"Alright big guy, I can take you down!" Solarnyan yelled, burning with energy. "I'm as strong as the sun's rays on a hot summer day!"
The solar feline took a running jump and landed square on top the destructive dinosaur's nose. It was easy to land on since, well, he was a T-rex much bigger than Solarnyan.
"I'm not sure what you're doing, but I don't really like it a whole lot," D-Rex bluntly commented, trying to get the feline off of his nose.
Solarnyan raced up a bit the dinosaur's nose to do about the only thing he could have done. That being to inconveniently poke D-Rex in the eye.
D-Rex, distressed by the sudden eye poking, managed to fling Solarnyan off of him and do a maneuver best described as a "punt".
"Dang, yo," Solarnyan responded to the punting, slipping on some ice into a rock after a hard crash landing.
After the sun seemed to have set for Solarnyan for now, Lunarnyan was busy herself, dealing with Hanzo.
"I can sense that that ninja is somewhere..." Lunarnyan commented to herself, trying to track down the american ninja. She wasn't a dog, but she could still sniff out scents better than any human.
It seemed the spectral feline had found the ninja, hiding within a tree. She used her cat-like instincts to slowly approach on one of the tree's branches, trying not to make a single sound. Then, she pounced right onto the unsuspecting ninja!
Or at least, that's what she thought was happening. With incredible speed, Hanzo got out of the way of the feline's pounce just in time. As a bonus in the same maneuver, he delivered a few kunai right to the lunar feline without another word. He was a ninja, they struck hard and then disappeared into the shadows without a word or sound.
"Ow! My fur!" Lunarnyan shouted for once, usually being the more quiet one of the nyan duo. From the sudden ambush, she was close with Solarnyan, even going down the same hard fall, ice slip and crash into the same rock. Sometimes, they were in sync but at the worst found times.
Elsewhere, further yet still close by the shady and eerie yokai from Kiara and Super Seed's sides were facing off with a rather casual stare down. Things would only get more intense when one of them finally decides to strike.
"You know, I have to ask, why don't you wear any pants?" Origin asked the doctor yokai, whom was quite surprised to be asked such an odd question.
"I've never needed pants ever since I became a yokai. Not like any kind of pants fit my odd lower half anyways," Dr. Kagemura responded with a casual shrug at the question being asked. " I ask the same to you as well. At least I have the decency to put on a coat."
"Interesting to hear," Origin responded. "I can't wear clothes since my body repels just about anything, including deadly chemicals."
"Oh really now?" Dr. Kagemura inquired. "I'm a doctor, not a scientist, but I wish to inquire on your statement. Yokai are known for playing tricks, after all."
"Yes, why not try it out?" Origin provoked, as Dr. Kagemura began to spin around the chemicals he carried around, blending the three different seemingly harmless chemicals to make a rather deadly mixture. Once it was complete and it was thrown rather hard at the eerie yokai.
And correct Origin was indeed. The toxic chemicals bounced right off of him and for an added yet horrible bonus, splashed on Kagemura.
"Ghhh, I don't really have that much flesh but that doesn't stop it from hurting any less..." Kagemura huffed to himself, trying to hide the face the chemicals were quite the painful burning sensation on him. He was played like a complete and utter fool!
Lastly, the leaders of both factions were facing off with one another. Sure Kiara was a bit of a disadvantage, lacking any kind of supernatural powers, but she somehow managed to keep up a fight.
Her strategy was simply keeping a safe distance, using medals with the yokai blaster as she needed to.
"Alright, got the shady medal in, let's try and focus and get a good shot!" Kiara whispered to herself, the blue aura radiating from her blaster. She had to focus, she had only a limited number of shots. It seemed the summoner had gotten in a perfect shot on the sky ocean man, but it only ended with a horrible realization.
"T-That did barely anything!?" Kiara yelled, almost absolutely shocked at what had happened. "Surely a shot like that would have hurt a ton...Then again this guy is of the Tough tribe, so I guess diamond grade defenses are to be expected...That or I've worn out the blaster too much in this one fight..."
The blaster seemed to have acted weird, seeming to heat up at a rapid rate. Quickly, the summoner detached the dream core from the blaster and did the only logical thing.
"Hey ocean man from the ocean land!" Kiara shouted, trying to close in on the distance she was keeping.
"I told you it was Skyshari-" Skyshariman tried to correct the summoner, only to be hit on the head with a yokai blaster. That exploded.
It wasn't anything like an introductory explosion, but it was about the greatest amount of damage Kiara could do to Skyshariman. Which, admittedly, wasn't a lot at all, soot and maybe a burning feeling on the forehead was all Kiara could have really done.
And that was her only shot at being distant in this fight. Now, she had to face hand to hand, fist to fist. It may not end well, but Kiara had to try.
"Knock knock..." Kiara said, taking a stance with her clenched fists in this close combat situation. She then attempted to throw her fists during the showdown. "It's my knuckles!"
Unfortunately for the summoner, her attempts at fighting back fist to fist were only met with nearly being careened off of a cliff. Kiara wasn't a fighter at all on her own, so her hardest punches were practically nonexistent to Skyshariman.
Kiara tried hard to pull herself upwards, but it didn't seem like she had much of the strength left to do so. The raging waters below frightened Kiara quite a bit, and it looked like a long plummet downwards too. But barely, just barely Kiara managed to pull upwards. She was standing alongside her rather beat up team, as their sense of coordination and skill paled to a fully organized team.
"Drat...I never knew defeat could taste this utterly bitter..." Kiara huffed, trying to still stand.
"It seems you have been defeated summoner, so are you planning on peacefully handing over the artifact or not?" Skyshariman asked the summoner.
Only the freezing winter winds seemed to have continued the conversation. Some winter birds flew overhead, Kiara still gripped onto the case with her life. Sure, Kiara had been pretty much single-handedly defeated, alongside her yokai. But, that didn't stop the summoner from standing her ground. Nothing would stop the summoner, no threat of danger or glam rock reaper would even think to stop her.
"No! I refuse to...I may have been tossed around pretty hard, but I'm still standing here..." Kiara yelled back, or at least tried to with what little strength she had right now.
Though, this stance would not try to stop the hero team from going all out on the summoner.
It seemed like the summoner and her friends were done for, before one thing made all of Super Seed halt right into their place.
"You leave my friend alone, or else!" A tiny voice piped up, as Kiara was shocked to see that Sophie had managed to find her way to were Kiara and company were.
"...How did you get here?" Skyshariman asked to the tiny yokai.
"I dunno, I just sensed a lot of danger and it felt kinda natural," Sophie responded. "Especially since some of my friends were in danger. You told me to always help those in danger, right?"
The small yokai then turned to Kiara for a bit, looking a bit embarrassed. "Sorry that you had to meet my papa in such a rough way, but he's really nice most of the time..."
"Wait, sky ocean man here, he's your dad!?" Kiara responded in shock. I mean, she certainly had her father's eye color, but was definitely not as...harsh looking to say the least.
Sophie quickly turned back to look at her father as he began to speak once more.
"This human, she's your friend?" Skyshariman asked, as Sophie nodded.
"Yeah, she's been looking after me, even took me along on a lot of her adventures," Sophie responded.
"Were you ever aware she was taking a deadly artifact for herself, and who knows what she may have planned?" Shyshariman asked to his daughter.
"So? She may do things differently, but she isn't any different from you in trying to do any good!" Sophie responded, as Kiara nodded at the kid's words.
Though, something in the wind made Kiara starts to loose her balance, same with her feline companions Solarnyan and Lunarnyan.
"Oh no-woah!" Kiara yelled, going straight off the cliff with her two catty yokai companions. They were going down and fast, plummeting right into the body of water below.
By some miracle, Kiara didn't completely freeze over in the cold ocean waters. She ended up on the shoreline somewhere, seeing the town of St. Peanutsburg as only a mere speck in the distance.
Along her side as always was Solarnyan and Lunarnyan, but they didn't seem to be doing very well.
"I'm at least glad we ended up on the shores somewhere..." Kiara muttered, completely weakened. Though, it wasn't her tired eyes deceiving her, she noticed something was wrong with the duo of nyans.
"You guys...You seem to be fading!" Kiara nearly jumped out, as Solarnyan and Lunarnyan didn't have the strength to really get up.
"We can't stay in our physical forms...for much longer..." Lunarnyan stated.
"That fight...was way too much...I don't think we can make it..." Solarnyan weakly added in.
"No...I seriously can't lose you guys, you're my last remaining yokai friends with me right now..." Kiara responded to what her cats were telling her, trying to hide the shaking feeling in her voice.
"Sometimes fate is a horrible mistress...But there's one thing I've always wanted to say to you..." Solarnyan began, trying to muster all of his strength to speak up. "That is...thank you so much for everything you've done for the both of us..."
"From giving us new strengths...to being a good and close friend to us both..." Lunarnyan added in, trying to give out all her words. "We can't thank you enough, summoner...for everything you've given us..."
"You're welcome...I can't thank you two enough for being wonderful yokai friends on this adventure..." Kiara thanked, becoming less and less able to hold in her emotions. "Even if you fade...I'll always be there to remember you...in the sunny skies and clear nights..."
"Kiara...Thank you so much..." Both nyans said, before finally fading out. All that remained of them were two glowing souls, with no form or style. When Kiara looked at the duo's medals, they were cracked in half, symbolizing that they were no more. Even if broken, she knew she never ended on bad terms with the felines, they were such good friends to her.
And now they were gone.
The summoner now stood alone, as snow kept falling.
While Kiara was one to always pledge no crying until the end, well, this was about the end of her adventure. She couldn't hold it in, all she could do right now was cry over the loss of her two closest yokai friends. She was sobbing rather uncontrollably, feeling absolute loss and pain over the whole ordeal.
But something sparked in the face of disaster.
When Kiara was about to put the medals back into her case, she noticed something.
The dim light of both yokai's souls seemed to have made a message engraved in the compact mirror medal case and silver crystal star holder more clear.
"When at long last...The shining silver star is formed...harmony between the sun and moon will have finally been met...just say with all your heart...these very words..." Kiara read off, before seeing the words that were before her.
Kiara looked at the completed Silver Crystal Star with a strong look, before starting to say those words.
"Celestial Crystal Power, Make Up!" Kiara yelled with as much heart she could waving her hand over the silvery star. It began to shine, being lifted out of the case and giving light to the two lost souls.
Through a stylish sequence, both souls spun around the star, shining in a rainbow of lights. In the midsts of this sequence, ribbons of light spun around the souls before giving away to a feline-like figure. The same ribbons spun around, giving the feline it's details.
Once the light was all done, now standing before Kiara was a new feline yokai. She had pastel yellow fur, her face having white markings, one looking like the rising sun on her muzzle, and the other looking like an upwards crescent moon. In the middle of the crescent moon marking, she had a yellow gemstone with light red and blue casing to make the moon marking look like some kind of tiara. Both sides of her were accented differently, light reds on her left, powdered blues on her right, her little paw mittens and boots seeming to resemble that of magical girl boots and gloves. She had two tails, one glowing with light red fire, and the other with a light blue. Finally, she had a large bow on her chest and one on the back as well, magenta and navy blue in color, with the Silver Crystal Star in the middle of the center bow.
"Who are you?" Kiara asked, as the feline made herself clear.
"I am the protector of all, hailing from the Charming Tribe, I am none other than the almighty pretty guardian, Celestnyan!" Celestnyan introduced herself, shocking the summoner.
Kiara couldn't help but run and give the new yokai a hug, knowing that even though her name was different, she was both of her closest yokai friends deep inside.
"I'm so proud of you two, even though you're one now...I'd never think you would look so powerful, so stunning..." Kiara said as she hugged the feline. The energy Celestnyan radiated seemed to have healed Kiara back up to her normal energy, almost miraculously.
"I'd never think so too, summoner. I'm glad to be your companion through all of time," Celestnyan said, before handing Kiara something.
What the summoner was handed was a magic wand, looking like a blend of the magical girl aesthetic with the general Yopple aesthetic as well. There was a place in the center to put her dream core, signified by the centerpiece of a large star kept within an even larger heart. Off to the side, there was a ribbon like design surrounding the heart, having a place to put a medal on both sides. These were signified by a sun shape and a moon shape.
"Just what is this thing?" Kiara asked, as Celestenyan began to explain.
"Kiara, this is the Celeste Dream Wand, it's a powerful device," Celestnyan explained to the summoner. "It allows the user to perform a Dream Link Soultimate, which I can demonstrate to you. But first, take this."
As with any new yokai, Kiara was handed a new medal, this one looking quite different. It was a bright pink poker chip like design, depicting the celestial feline with her name written down.
"This is a dream medal, a sign of a yokai's strongest bond with one who wields the Dream Watch. While you have used U medals and Merican Medals before, they never truly unlocked the power within your dream core." Celestnyan explained. "I feel you've earned my absolute strongest trust."
"Well, should we get back to those guys and show them just what the Silver Crystal Star and the power of good ol' friendship can do?" Kiara asked, as Celestnyan nodded.
"Yes, let us do that! We left a fight unfinished, so we are going to finish our fight!" Celestnyan answered to Kiara's call, picking Kiara up by her free arm as she floated in the air.
"Alright! Let's do this-Woah woah woah! You're really strong!" Kiara yelped, a bit shocked by the fact a tiny cat could pick her up by the arm.
Soon enough, Kiara was back to the cliff were she had started her fight with Super Seed.
"The summoner? She's back?" Skyshariman asked.
"I honestly wasn't expecting her to return..." Hanzo added in.
"That's right! I'm back in action once more!" Kiara yelled, landing on the ground as she struck a pose. "Justice served by me is never something that's defeated!"
"Then who's that cat then?" Bunny Mint asked, pointing to Celestnyan.
"For love and justice, a pretty suited nyan, Celestenyan! In the name of the Sun and the Moon, I will punish you!" Celestnyan introduced herself, doing poses as well with her introduction.
With those words, both sides tried to get back into a clash again. While Kiara lacked a long range firearm now, best she could do was help Snow Rabby and Dr. Kagemura up, as Celestnyan ended up healing them with a bit of her magic.
"Kiara, even though we were much more busy than your other yokai, I can't help but thank you well enough..." Snow Rabby thanked as she was helped up. Kiara noticed something in her medal case, as Snow Rabby's medal transformed into that of a dream medal, being framed with yellow to signify she was a mysterious yokai as opposed to Celestnyan's charming pink.
"I have to say the same as well," Dr. Kagemura added. "Even though our initial meeting was weird, I feel we've become close friends." The same happened with Kagemura's medal as did with Rabby's, becoming a dream medal. Like all dream medals, it was color-coded, this time being a blue for shady tribe yokai.
"Now, all four of us, let's show these guys our power!" Kiara yelled, spinning around the Celeste Dream Wand around as she inserted her dream core then each medal into their place. She was pretty sure that was how it was supposed to all work, right?
"Mysterious Sun! Shady Moon! Unify together now for the sparkling celestial power!" The voice in the wand said, as Snow Rabby and Dr. Kagemura focused their energies to Celestnyan. The wand began to glow, Kiara feeling urged to give the wand over to Celestnyan.
Once in the feline's paws, Celestnyan spun around with it in her paws before striking up a pose. It may have been a bit on the big size, but that wasn't going to stop Celestnyan.
"Shining Celestial Healing..." Celestynyan shouted, before striking one final pose to finish the phrase of her soultimaite. "...Escalation!"
From the wand, a spiral of magical, sparkling light filled the entire field, affecting the opposing yokai in the most glittery, yet powerful way imaginable. Kiara could best describe the ordeal as sparkling, loving violence.
It seemed to have fried every member of Super Seed, as Kiara approached the leader of the team. Was she going to finish him off?
The summoner could have ended everything, but she wasn't that uncivil, she leant out a hand to the tough tribe hero yokai.
"You...helped me? Despite us being against one another?" Skyshariman asked the summoner as she was helping him up.
"As I said before, I still strive for a goal of justice, just like you. I just do things a bit differently." Kiara responded. "Besides, I think it's a little bit more productive if we put our heads together to face whatever evil is trying to defy those goals of justice and peace."
"Besides, in my hands, err, paws, you can assure the Silver Crystal Star will never fall into the hands of any evil." Celestnyan explained. "It's indestructible, and it's tightly fastened to my bow."
"Yeah, and I ain't that bad of a gal either." Kiara added in, reaching out her hand for a good ol' hand shake. "I just got different style that's less by the book and more of my own flavor. So what do you say, wanna work on serving justice together yeah?"
Skyshariman reached out his hand in agreement to Kiara's handshake. "I agree and accept your offering, summoner."
"Summoner isn't exactly my name, it's Katherine "Kiara" Noha. Though, don't mix up the spelling with a C, that's a whole other can of worms that needs an entire golden playhouse to explain." Kiara corrected. "But, let's work on a better future for all of us!"
With that, Kiara's adventures in St. Peanutsburg ended on a high note. She learned how to link dreams and ideas of yokai and humans, all for a better good. Who knew if there were any dangers awaiting for her back home in Springdale, but if there were, Kiara would be first to rise to serve justice. She may have not been the strongest on her own, but when she was with her yokai friends, she was truly powerful.
