Meanwhile,a few miles away in the city,a man was busy at a scientific research center.His boss was about to give him a new assignment.
"Well Hughley,ever since you finally launched that rocket last month,I'm giving you a new assignment.It's something that you've never taken on before,but I'm sure it'll be a success."The boss stated.
Hughley replied,"What is this assignment about?"
"Well,some strange sightings have been seen recently and they look paranormal.One of our new employees said that it was these so called "Yokai" doing all of it.If that's the case,then I want you two to prove that this phenomenon is scientific and not paranormal.Understand?"The boss added.
"Yes.....I do."Hughley remembered that he made a promise to a friend if he ever achieved his dream of launching a rocket."This reminds me.......I need to see him."
"What are you talking about?"The boss asked.
Hughley sighed,"It's nothing,just tell me who I'm working with."
"Alright,come on out Daimon,Hughley wants to see you."The boss gestured to a woman who walked towards Hughley.
"Hello Hughley,I'm Daimon-kyoju,but you may call me Daimon.It's nice to meet you."Daimon shook hands with Hughley.
"She'll be in charge of this assignment.You will obey her orders."The boss stated.
"But sir.....I thought I was getting promoted."Hughley said in disbelief.
"You are,Daimon will take over for this one assignment.Since she knows about those Yokai and such.Now don't mess it up."The boss left after his statement.
Hughley stood there in silence,until Daimon spoke,"So,Hughley.Are you ready to take on this assignment?"
"I guess,it's just......how do you know about Yokai?"Hughley asked.
Daimon grinned,"That's easy! I can see Yokai with these glasses!"
She had glasses on top of her head and pointed to them.
"So......it's like......that watch?"Hughley asked again.
"You know about the Yokai Watch?!"Daimon exclaimed.
"Yes.....this girl showed me.......two years ago.She wanted me to see an old friend of mine.I made a promise to him if I achieved my dream,that I would see him again and I made that dream come true.But......I don't know where he's at......I need to see him."Hughley stated,with a serious face.
Daimon smirked,"You know,if you do this assignment with me,maybe you can see him again.Come on,what do you say?"
"I guess it's the only way I'll be able to see him.Alright,I'll do it."Hughley glanced at Daimon,who was excited,"Alright! Let's go see what those Yokai are up to!"
Hughley regretted his decision as he followed Daimon,but he knew it was the only way to make that promise to his friend.
Later,Keita was home.He was stressed about his dream and whether if it had anything to do with the past events that happened two years ago or not.
Whisper looked at Keita,being concerned,"Hey,you've been down lately.Can't you just stop thinking about it?"
"I can't,it's just......what if it's real?What if it actually happens? What if-"Keita got cut off by Whisper,"You're over reacting! If anything was going to happen,then someone would be warning us at this very moment!"
Suddenly,a knock was heard by the window,Keita and Whisper turned to see a mysterious figure,trying to get in.
"What is that?!"Whisper yelled.
"I don't know!"Keita replied.
Jibanyan came out of his room and was annoyed," Why are you guys being loud? I'm trying to take a nap."
The figure kept hitting the window,trying to get in.
This grabbed Jibanyan's attention,"Ah! A monster!"
"It's not a monster! We don't know what it is!"Whisper panicked.
Keita went towards the window to open it.
"What are you doing?! Are you insane?!"Whisper shouted.
Keita looked at Whisper,in annoyance,"I'm going to see who or what it is!"
"Keita,no!"Whisper yelled,but it was too late.Keita opened the window and let the figure in his room.
The figure was almost as tall as Keita and had a hood over its face.
"Who are you?"Keita asked nervously.
The figure replied,"I'm here to warn you that something bad is about to happen."
"Oh crap,your dream is real!"Whisper panicked
Keita replied back,"I told you!"
"You had that dream? So,it is almost time."The figure added.
Keita said under his breath,"Oh my god....."
"Who are you mister monster man?"Jibanyan asked,being a bit scared.
The figure laughed,"Ha ha! I'm not a monster! Can't you recognize my voice? Unless if you can't remember me from two years back."
"Wait.....I think I remember now.Could it be that you're....."Keita said,as the figure took its hood off and revealed itself.Keita shouted,"......Fuyunyan!"
"That's right! I'm back from my training after two years to tell you that I'm ready to fight for you and the problem that will soon to come."Fuyunyan said proudly.
Whisper squinted his eyes,"You look different.Did you already evolve?"
"Yes,I evolved fully from all the training I did.Now look at me."Fuyunyan showed off.
Jibanyan groaned in disappointment," Come on! I haven't evolved at all!"
"It takes time,depending on your conditions and stature.Also your emotional and physical strength counts too."Fuyunyan replied.
Jibanyan pouted,"Then how come Whisper is evolving?! He can't handle his own emotions!"
"Of course I can,I haven't been that emotionally unstable."Whisper looked at Jibanyan,"Unlike someone who is being over emotional recently."
"Fine,I don't care! I don't want to evolve anyways! Because....then....I'll be old like all of you and that includes you too Keita!"Jibanyan nagged.
"Now that's low! Don't bring my Yokai evolution into this!"Keita yelled.
"Can we change the subject? I need to tell you something."Fuyunyan interrupted.
Keita laughed nervously,"Sorry,my bad."
"Go to your room Jibanyan.This is a conversation for us "old people"."Whisper shooed Jibanyan away,who left and went to his room.
"Ok,listen.Regarding your dream,what happened in it?"Fuyunyan questioned.
Keita shrugged,"I can't really make out all of it.The only thing I remember was that I was hiding and watching a black figure.The figure was attacking Inaho and she screamed.It seemed so real."
"It's worse than I thought.......it's not just you who is in danger.Inaho is in trouble as well."Fuyunyan stated.
"No way....."Keita said in disbelief.
Whisper gasped,"We need to go tell her right away!"
Fuyunyan stopped Whisper,"No,we need to stay calm.If we panic now,the enemy will know something is wrong.We need to stay low and watch out."
"Geez,you're no fun."Whisper mumbled.
"All I know is that Yokai are starting to act strange and some of them have an dark aura.The Yokai World isn't doing so good either."Fuyunyan said.
Keita questioned,"Do you think Enma knows about this?"
"Probably,but just like us,he's afraid to say anything about it."Fuyunyan replied.He looked at Keita and added,"I will stay here temporarily,if you don't mind.I need to watch over you and your friends.For your own safety."
"Ok,that sounds great.Hope you don't mind another room mate Whisper."Keita teased.
Whisper grumbled,"Don't remind me....."
In the Yokai World,at Enma's palace,Enma is frustrated with himself and the current state of his kingdom. He sighed as Nurarihyon towered over him.
"Are you aware that the Yokai World is in danger?! Well.....are you?!"Nurarihyon questioned,demanding an answer.
Enma sighed,"Yes,but.....I know why it's in this current state."
"What?! Why didn't you tell me?!"Nurarihyon yelled.
Inumaro interrupted,"Is there anything we can do?"
"Yeah,need anything your majesty?"Nekokiyo chimed in.
Nurarihyon shouted,"No,Enma doesn't need anything! Get out!"
"Yes sir."Inumaro and Nekokiyo said in unison.
They left the room as Nurarihyon turned to Enma,"When was the last time you used your Awoken form?"
"Why are you asking?"Enma replied,being annoyed.
"Because,the last time I saw you in that form was two years ago.Don't tell me that you haven't used it since then."Nurarihyon said in a harsh tone.
Enma sighed,"Yeah,I haven't used my Awoken form in two years.So what?"
"So what?! You realize you have to use it once a year right?! If you don't,your powers build up and you can't control them! Do you know how much trouble you're in?!"Nurarihyon screamed.
"Yes,I'm very aware.It's just.....the last time I used my Awoken powers.......I couldn't control them.It scared me to death,but now......who knows what I'll do when I regain my Awoken form again....."Enma replied.
"Well guess who's fault it is for waiting!"Nurarihyon nagged.
Enma gave Nurarihyon a cold stare,"I know.......my time is up.I will turn into my Awoken form soon and I know I will do something terrible.Please.......when I unleash my Awoken powers.....make sure that you warn everyone and get prepared for what's coming."
"Enma.....I can't believe you waited and now you have to face the consequences!"Nurarihyon shouted.
"I know.....and I can't control myself when I'm in my Awoken form.That's when I unleash my sinister plans and take action.I have a feeling that you'll need a lot of help defeating me.....when I......turn into....my....Awoken form-"Enma fell to the ground.
"Enma!"Nurarihyon panicked.
"Stay back! I think it's time!"Enma exclaimed.
Enma formed a dark aura around him and rose up from the ground.
He transformed into Enma Awoken.
Nurarihyon backed away slowly,"Enma......are you alright?"
"I'm just fine......"Enma Awoken smiled evilly and got closer to Nurarihyon.
"Enma,you don't have to do this!"Nurarihyon exclaimed.
Enma grabbed Nurarihyon and slammed him to the ground.
Nurarihyon created a force field and turned into Nurarishin.
"You leave me no choice but to fight you!"Nurarishin shouted.
He grabbed his sword and ran into Enma Awoken.
Enma Awoken grabbed his sword as well and fought back.
They continued to fight with their swords.
"Say your prayers!"Enma Awoken yelled.
He lifted his sword into the air,but he froze as he felt something.
He looked down to see that Nurarishin stabbed Enma Awoken in the gut with his sword.
Enma Awoken dropped his sword and titled his head down.
He started laughing and raised his head up and chuckled maniacally.
"You fool! I'm invincible!"Enma Awoken grabbed Nurarishin's sword and stabbed him in the gut.
Nurarishin fell to the ground and ripped the sword from his gut,but unlike Enma Awoken,he was bleeding from his injury.
"Damn it! What is wrong with you?!"Nurarishin yelled.
Enma Awoken gave him an evil stare,"Nothing at all.I'm going to brainwash some victims and then they will become my slaves as I take over both human and Yokai worlds! And no one can stop me!"
"Not on my watch! I will stop you Enma,I swear it!"Nurarishin shouted,as he started to run.
Enma Awoken shot flames at Nurarishin,while he dodged it.
Nurarishin went to the entrance,as he picked up Inumaro and Nekokiyo in his arms.
"What are you doing?!"Inumaro questioned.
"What's going on?!"Nekokiyo added.
Nurarishin replied,"No time to ask! Enma is in his Awoken form and has no control over his powers! We have to get help!"
Nurarishin ran out of the palace and stopped to see that the palace had a dark aura around it.
"We're going to need a lot of help with this......"Nurarishin said in shock.
