Squigly, originally born Sienna Contiello, was once a beautiful girl from a wealthy family until the day she was killed by the Medici Family. She, along with the parasite Leviathan, now only rose up from the dead when the Skullgirl was about.
..Least…that's how it used to be. Sometime after a rather strange tournament, her body had ended up in the Yo-kai world where she was given enough life energy to live beyond just the Skullgirl's rising. She was cared for by a couple known as Papa Bolt and Mama Aura. She eventually crossed paths with the heroes once more and joined them for a few adventures. She even joined the Heroes Coalition along with a few friendly Yo-kai. However, after its dissolution, she returned to the Yo-kai World where she lived in peace with her adoptive family.
"And that is currently all the info I have on Squigly." Sunset said.
"So this Squigly girl has something we need to deal with the Yo-kai Alliance. Any idea what it is?" Mark asked.
"No clue. I didn't think she'd even get involved with all this after all that drama with McKraken the first time around." Sunset said.
"Well I doubt the Ghoulfather would leave her alone, especially if his gang is after any Yo-kai." Scarlet pointed out. "We ought to at least give them a heads up about the situation."
"Yeah. Luckily she included her address in her letters." Sunset said.
"Again, how come she didn't write me?!" Peacock said.
"Well you're short-tempered, have a problem with smoking for a child, you go wild on a lot of people…" Rarity listed off.
"Okay, okay! I don't need the full spiel again!" Peacock said.
"We're almost there, right? Don't want Peacock to start shooting up the ship." SE stated.
"It's fine. We're here." Sunset said as they arrived to a floating plot of land where a large traditional Japanese house stood.
"Huh. Pretty big place for just two Yo-kai and a zombie." Issei observed.
"Uh…actually…" Sunset said as they disembarked as they were greeted by said zombie.
"Oh, my friends. It's so good to see you." Squigly said with a bow.
"You must be Squigly." Mark said as he bowed back. "Mark Anarchy, leader of Team Chronicle. We joined the Alliance some time after you left."
"David Ishihara, leader of the Brave Adventurers. Nice to meet you." David said.
"I am Ace Neptune of Spirit Force, very good to meet you." Ace said.
"Sup. Dark Water and Darksquad." DW typed as he gestured to his teammates.
"Charmed to be making your acquaintances." Squigly said as ZS got up to her. "Oh…"
"Oh boy, please don't tell me he's gonna do what I think he's gonna do…" Amethyst stated.
ZS then took one of Squigly's hands and shook it. "Nice to meet a fellow intelligent zombie around the Multiverse! Name's Zombie Skater, had it legally changed." ZS introduced himself.
"Oh…uh…so…very charmed." Squigly said.
"And uh…" ZS said before being face to face with a skeletal-like creature.
"Please take that thing off her hand." he said as ZS jumped back.
"It's okay, honestly, Leviathan." Squigly said.
"It most certainly is not!" a voice boomed as floating out of the house was a man with red skin with his legs being just one big cloud. "I won't be giving away my daughter's hand!"
Papa Bolt
Heartful Tribe
"...What the heck is he talking about?" ZS whispered to the group. "I was just gonna ask if she heard anything about the recent events."
"...We'll let you know after we leave." Mark whispered back.
"Now now dear, you mustn't treat them so harshly." said a woman in green, her legs also just a big cloud.
Mama Aura
Heartful Tribe
"So you guys came after all this time. Seems Kyubi was right. You all have decided to join us for dinner." Squigly said.
"Kyubi?" Twilight asked.
"Dinner?" Jexi said.
"Yes yes yes!" Luffy said.
"Uh…you mean Kyubi is here?" Mark asked.
"Oh…no. He left days ago." Squigly said. "But he said he'd have that robot that was with him pass an invitation to you guys."
"Ah, I see. In that case, why don't we all come in?" Mark requested.
"Oh, certainly." Squigly said as she lead them into the house, the group filed in. But as ZS was about to enter, Papa Bolt went and shut the door on him.
"...Well that's just flipping rude." ZS said to himself as he opened the door and walked in.
"Okay, everyone…we have guests!" Mama Aura said as the group walked in to see a large group. One side of the room had lookalikes of the mother and father, the only difference being the darker skin.
Uncle Infinite
Auntie Heart
Heartful Tribe
And on the other was three younger Yo-kai. One blue oni generating static, a humanoid child and an older one holding a long spear.
Statikid
Mysterious Tribe
Zappary
Frazzel
Tough Tribe
"Uh…Squigly…who are they?" Dan asked.
"Oh. They're the rest of my family. Aunt, Uncle, Sibling, Nephew and Cousin." Squigly said.
"Well, it's nice to meet all of them." Mark said, as he subtly nudged Sunset. "Guess you tried to tell us before…any reason you didn't?" he whispered.
"She came out so quickly and things moved so fast, I didn't have enough time." Sunset whispered.
"Yeah, guess so." Mark nodded.
"We hope you enjoy dining with us tonight. Because tonight, we'll be eating in honor of Sunset's return to the Yo-kai world." Mama Aura said as Sunset just smiled and waved nervously.
"(They probably haven't heard about what's been going on.)" Bardock thought.
"Who cares about some girl coming back? Big deal." Frazzel said.
"You little brat! Be more respectful!" Papa Bolt said as Frazzel floated over Jesse as Papa Bolt fired lightning at Frazzel as it went down the spear and shocked Jesse instead.
"'Quite a family', huh?" ZS asked Sunset, while David and Mayumi helped Jesse up.
"Uh…yeah…." Sunset said.
"Everyone please take your seats while I prep tonight's…special course." Mama Aura said as she flew into the kitchen.
"You okay, Jesse?" David asked.
"Like I've been hit by 2.5 million volts of lightning. But besides that, I'm okay." Jesse said.
"Not a lot of people can say that." Ruby said. "(Though should we really be sitting down for a meal? Shouldn't we…you know…be getting these guys outta here?)" she whispered.
"Aw, but they promised dinner." Luffy said.
"No, Ruby's right. We can't afford to dawdle." Mayumi said.
"Yeah, while this does seem nice and all. We have to talk to you and your family about something, Squigly." Ajna said.
"Oh, what's this about?" Squigly asked.
"Well…" David said before Mama Aura returned.
"We have tonight's first course. A delicious Sukiyaki." she said before serving Sunset first. "Guest of honor gets first bite."
"Oh…um…okay." Sunset said as she took the first bite. As soon as she did, a strange smoke started to rise from the dish and over the table as an image started to form.
"Whoa whoa whoa!" Klonoa said.
"What's going on?! What was in that sukiyaki?!" Carmine gawked.
"This is our special memory course. Awakening our guests memories from a time long since past." Mama Aura said as the image showed the Dimensional Heroes approaching a capsule machine.
"Wait…that…that's our first time on Mt. Wildwood." Jexi said.
"Oh yeah…I remember." Sunset said.
"Feed me…feed me…Feed me! Feed me! Feed me right now!" a voice called from the capsule machine in the image.
They soon saw the past versions insert a coin as a capsule popped out. Upon opening, a figure soon emerged bearing a very frightening face as he smiled. "What's up, my corporeal friends. My name is Whisper. At your service." he said.
"Right…this was the day we learned about the Yo-kai. We meet Whisper, Cadin, and Buhu." Sunset said.
"Why didn't you include Whisper in the first set?" Hope asked.
"I have nothing against him but he really isn't much of a fighter. May work as a human shield, but no fighter." Sunset said.
"Now…reach into the fog for a nice surprise." Mama Aura said.
"Huh? Uh…okay." Sunset said as she felt around in it before grabbing something. She pulled out a medal from inside the fog. "This…it's Cadin's medal!"
"Wait, that worked? How did that work?" Kieran asked.
"It's…a…secret." Mama Aura said cheerfully as she returned to the kitchen.
"Okay…that was surprising." Jexi said.
'Yeah…so it's a mystery dinner." Luffy said as he ate the sukiyaki.
"That's one way to describe it, I guess." Kieran said.
"Are you sure we should be eating this, though? If we start getting flashbacks of stuff we don't want people to see, then…" David started.
"Ugh…wuss." Frazzel said.
"That is a legitimate concern." David said.
"It's only the guest that sees the memories, so you can stop being a wuss." Frazzel said.
"Be more respectful, you brat!" Papa Bolt said as he shot lightning at Frazzel, only for him to float over Vashyron as the lightning passed through his spear and shocked the hunter below.
*CLANG!*
"Ha!" Stoj said, clonking the Yo-kai on the head with her frying pan.
"Grrr…respect your elders!" Papa Bolt said shocking Stoj.
"But she hit Frazzel!" Mari said.
"He's still older than her!" Papa Bolt said.
"How do you know?" Mari asked.
"What was that?!" Papa Bolt said in anger.
"Mari, please be quiet… For all of our sakes…" David said.
"Something please come and disrupt this tension…" Weiss prayed.
"Okay…next course is out." Mama Aura said, as a number of them let out sighs of relief. "Next, we'll be enjoying sushi. As before, our guest will take the first bite."
Sunset then took a bite of the sushi as a new cloud started to form, this one showing images of a massive battle inside of a large factory.
"Oh yeah. This was when we had that final showdown with Dame Dedtime." Hope said.
"Still can't believe that's what she really looked like. I know our partnership wasn't all that long, but…" Sectonia started.
"Hey, relax. You weren't in your right mind at the time. Believe us, you wouldn't have missed much." Usopp said.
"Yeah, it was a pretty amazing battle. One history will never have any knowledge of." Gemini said.
"Now…do as before…" Mama Aura said as Sunset reached in and pulled a medal out.
"So…who is it this time?" Sakura asked.
"Tongus." Sunset said.
"Oh I remember her. She heals you up by licking." Hope said.
"I'll go and get your next meal." Mama Aura said, returning to the kitchen.
"Okay, so Squigly, what David was about to say was-" Corona started.
"That we are having a wonderful time in your home." Makoto said, covering his mouth.
"Oh…thank you." Squigly said.
"Uh… Y-yeah. It's a…pretty nice family you have here." David said, playing along with the cover-up. "(Good call, Makoto. We don't want these people to panic.)" he thought as he started eating the sushi.
"Grrr." Klonoa said, planting his face on the table.
Though Klonoa was visibly upset, everyone else knew better than to do things that would incur something wrong with Squigly's family. One wrong move, and Papa Bolt would come crashing down on them like a thunderstorm. Of course, Mama Aura would relieve the tension, but the main problem was Frazzel. He acts like a total punk and redirects any sort of lightning strike to whoever he is inspiriting.
"(This is like stayin' over at one o' those classic family homes I see on TV sometimes.)" Peacock thought. "(We got the nice mom, the grumpy dad, and the kid who tries to mess everything up but always gets away with everything.)"
"So, uh… while Mama Aura gets the next course, how have you been, Squigly?" Zephyr said.
"Oh, I've been just fine, thank you for asking." Squigly smiled. "It's always so wonderful to stay here. You should know, Papa Bolt and Mama Aura have been kind to me ever since they found me in the Yo-kai world."
"Yeah, so don't get any ideas about taking her hand, you little hoodlum." Papa Bolt said.
"Wasn't thinking of it!" Zephyr said quickly.
"What's that all about?" ZS asked.
"He's a little sensitive about people marrying Squigly." Statikid explained.
"Doesn't wanna lose his only daughter." Uncle Infinite said.
"So that's why he freaked out a little when ZS took her hand…" Connie said.
"...Wait, that's why he acted like that?" ZS asked. "My libido went out like a light years ago! Wouldn't get any thoughts like that if I tried!"
"TMI, ZS." Rebecca sweatdropped.
"You think I'll fall for such an obvious lie, you little…" Papa Bolt began.
"Next course is…dear…what are you doing?" Mama Aura asked seeing Papa Bolt holding ZS and looking like he was going to punch him.
"Just…fixing our guest's outfit." Papa Bolt said, doing so before setting him down.
"Well, thanks a bunch." ZS said coolly.
"(Thank goodness Mama Aura's the only one who can keep the peace.)" Hope thought.
"Now…next we have some tempura." she said, serving them all.
As with the last two, Sunset took the first bite as five separate images formed in the air.
"Oh…it was those five adventures we had that Enma set up…" Jexi said.
"Oh yeah, I remember that! I helped out USApyon and Hailey when they subbed in for Santa on Christmas." Lucy recalled.
"I followed Nate around after he became a Yo-kai. Pretty interesting to see him like that… though his appearance was a little rushed." Hope recalled himself.
"There was also that time Mama got herself a human baby." Komasan said.
"I went to the future to help Amy in the fashion industry." Jibanyan said.
"Then it led to…" Jexi said seeing an image of a red skinned man in red robes fighting a gray skinned man with long white hair. "Enma and Zazel."
"Enma I recognize…but who's that Zazel guy?" David asked.
"He's Lord Enma's advisor and attendant. He also goes by another name…Nurarihyon." Sunset said.
"Oh, him…" David said.
"I wonder if…" Sunset said, reaching in before pulling a medal out. "Oh…not Enma." she said seeing the medal was Dromp's.
"Guess you can't choose who you get." Rainbow said.
"Y'know, I'm really enjoying this meal. Good food and remembering what we did with Yo-kai? It's pretty fun, and tasty." Akane said.
"Or learning what you did with Yo-kai, in some cases." Double D added.
"Yeah…its a real trip down memory lane." Sunset said before the next dish was brought out, this one being a small fish dish. "Oh." she said as she bit into it, a new memory appearing, showing the group traversing through their world and the real one. "Oh…this one!"
"It's when that whale caused that world flipping trouble." Sora said.
"Yeah, that was a trip. Officially, that was our first time ever visiting the Real World, before the Jump World crisis ever happened." Hope said.
"Whale?" Al asked.
"Long story… see, there was this girl, a Ballerina named Kanami? She wanted to get back into ballet more than anything. And her desire created a Yo-kai that forced our multiverse to cross with the Real World." Hope said.
"Something we hope we wouldn't have to go through again. All of us were rendered useless and powerless…except for Scott and Ramona, of course." David said.
"Hope she's doing alright." Sunset said as she reached in and pulled out a medal. "It's Walkappa."
"Huh. I thought Koalanyan's medal would come, but maybe he doesn't have one." Hope said.
"He was a Yo-kai that manifested in the real world. He probably does, it just wasn't the one we got." Gray said.
The next course was brought in, a bowl of rice with shrimp in it. Sunset ate the bowl as an image formed, a dark menacing figure standing over her, Luna, Theo and a few others.
"Rasen…" Sunset said.
"Oh yeah…that's when we fought that Oni king guy." Luna said.
'It was in a world 30 years in the future. Where the Shadowside phenomenon occurs." Sunset said. "It was strange, yet it was a good battle."
"Shadowside phenomenon?" Penny questioned.
"We don't know the full details on it, but apparently, some Yo-kai took on more… darker forms than what we're used to now." Sunset said. "It's best not to think about it." she said reaching into the smoke before pulling out a medal. "Azure Dragon this time."
"Azure Dragon? One of the Chinese Constellations?" Jesse asked.
"Yep. The very same, looks like." David said.
"That's pretty much everything, right?" Scarlet asked. "I think that's all the Yo-kai adventures we know about."
"That's not quite true. While Sunset's side is finished, there is one last tale." Mama Aura said.
"Really? What is it?" Hope asked.
"You are about to witness it." Mama Aura said, placing a candle in the middle of the room as an image began to appear, this one showing a young boy and a black cat with two tails.
"Who is…wait…ah! I've seen him!" Izuku said in surprise.
"Really?" the group said.
"When we were back in past Springdale, during a snowy day, he actually ran right past us." Izuku said.
"Can't believe we missed that.. Who are those two?"
"The boy you see is known as Jack Cobbler. And the cat is Gusto. Though in Japan, he goes by a name you all may recognize…Nekomata." Mama Aura said.
"Wait… Nekomata… I remember reading a description about that." David said.
"Of course you have." Jesse said.
"Take this seriously, please. In Japan, cats are often associated with death, and the nekomata mostly got the blame for it. These ones are capable of necromancy, and upon raising the dead, perform ritualistic dances. It is said they are more powerful the older and more abused the cat was during its life prior to its transformation." David said.
"So…where does that put Gusto? How powerful is he?" Glimmer asked.
"His power is not part of this tale. These two along with two others and many Yo-kai went on a grand journey. To free the souls taken by Tamamo-no-mae, a vicious Yo-kai. Then…to save the Yo-kai world." Mama Aura said as images showed a human in a black shirt facing a being in dark red robes.
"That Shien…he still reminds me of the rage Yo-kai can hold." Auntie Heart said.
"Shien?" Sunset asked.
"He was one of the previous Enma's sons." Frazzel said.
They watched a battle between the boy and Shien unfold before it changed to a battle against a dark mass.
"Is…is that still Shien?" Frisk asked.
"That one…is the Overseer. A massive darkness. In order to stop it, Shien and the boy, Alistair, fused together to defeat it. However…while it was defeated, both beings ended up dying in the process." Mama Aura said.
"However, a new being was born from their union. One you know quite well." Auntie Heart said, showing an old stone bridge with Jack, now an old man, staring in surprise, as the being before him was the current Lord Enma.
"Enma…so that's how he came to be." Sunset realized. "I wonder…" she said, reaching into it before pulling out a medal. "Huh…" she said, seeing a seal on the medal.
"I'm afraid Lord Enma isn't ready for you to call on him just yet." Mama Aura said. "He still has plans as you all face the evil Yo-kai Alliance."
"Wait…you…."
"Hahahaha. You really think we wouldn't know what's been going on beyond our happy home?" Papa Bolt laughed.
"Well… It saves us the time of having to explain it." David said.
"We could have left at any time. But the stupid fox told us to wait for you slowpokes." Frazzel said.
"So we stayed put, knowing you would come." Squigly said.
"Kyubi, you clever son of a gun." Hope smirked.
"Why would Kyubi go to all that trouble though?" Noel asked.
"He wouldn't normally unless….You…you really keep looking out for me…" Sunset cried. "Thank you so much…Enma…"
"Yes….and these five helped." Mama Aura said, showing five different Yo-kai. A green hat, a yello hat, a large purple box like one, a small turtle with a plunger on its back, and a turtle on a floating cloud. "Their powers…helped to make this meal."

Mysterious Tribe

"You all…." Sunset said.
"We risked our lives…just to give you this boost to your forces." Squigly said. "So…hope you all…accepted these gifts."
Sunset just smiled as she bowed her head. "Thank you all…for the wonderful meal."
The rest of the Dimensional Heroes followed suit.
"Thank you for everything!" they all said.
They all soon departed with their stomachs full and their spirits all on high.
"That was what we needed before continuing on. A nice little break." Dan said.
"Yep. It felt nice to just unwind every now and then." Himiko said.
"And we got a bunch of medals out of it too!" Eddy added. "Now that's what I call a successful trip!"
"Yeah. Guess we should decide our next move. Any strange phenomenon?" Sunset asked.
'Well…there are some strange happenings going on in a city in the Life Universe." Jeremie said.
"The Life Universe? Oh boy, don't tell me it's that doctor guy again…" Undyne said.
"Something tells me this isn't him." Jet said, showing the city was half clean and half dirty.
"Well, okay then, that has Yo-kai written all over it." SE remarked.
"Then it's off we go." Jexi said as they headed off to their next destination.
