It was a cloudy day in the city of Tokyo as a pregnant woman was standing at a crosswalk and ready to cross the street. When the sign gave her the okay to cross, she noticed another woman crossing the street with her baby in a stroller before she noticed bolts on a sign starting to fail. She gasped when she noticed the sign was about to fall. "Look out!!" She called out as she ran forward just as the sign out.
Next thing she knew, all she felt was pain as she was put in an ambulance. She heard a paramedic telling her to push her baby out. She soon was in a hospital room while a baby boy wrapped in a small blanket cried. Her husband sat beside her as the news about his wife came quickly and the doctors told him she doesn't have long. "It's alright…" she told her husband in a weak tone. "Even if I'm gone…I will still be with you…" Those were her last words before her heart beat monitor went flatlined.
The husband took his child out to the porch as he had tears in his eyes but with a smile on his face. "It's going to be okay, kiddo." He told his son. "No matter what, your mother will always be with us." As soon as he assured his son, the clouds started to part and the sun started to shine down. He smiled before looking down at his son and seeing that he has red skin like him and yellow hair like his mother. "No matter what, we will be brave together. We both must have courage in our hearts." He then had a look of realization on his face. "That's a good name for you, Courage Heart."
The baby in his arms smiled, but it was not because of the name his father gave him. As he looked up, he could see something that looked like a small dragon looking down on them with a smile. There is something about that dragon that made the little baby smile.
Ten years later, Courage is seen walking through the forest with a butterfly net as he was looking around. He soon came to a large clearing where a large tree was seen up ahead. He came close and saw one of those capsule-toy dispensers at the base of the tree, only it looked like it was hundreds of years old. "What's this doing here?" He asked before he suddenly heard a voice which spooked him.
Feed me, feed me~. Feed me, Feed me~. Feed me, feed me~. I'm so hungry, I need to eat~!
Courage wondered where the voice was coming from before he looked again at the capsule dispenser. He took out a coin and put it in the machine before turning the knob. Once a capsule came out, he picked it up and tried to get it open. It seemed to be stuck for a moment before it popped open and a sudden gust of wind swirled around him. A ball of light started to form in front of him as he was surprised at this. "This was the day my whole life changed forever. This is the day I never could have imagined my life would never be the same after." Soon a face with a black mark around its eyes and blue lips grinned at him with a slight chuckle.
Six years later, some students at the Crystal Prep School were getting ready for the Friendship games against their rival school, Canterlot High. One of these students is a teenage girl with purple skin and indigo hair with a pink strip in it. She also wore glasses to help her sing as she hugged her bag close. She looked like she didn't want to do this in the first place before a woman with hot pink skin walked up to her.
"It's going to be okay, Twilight." The woman assured her. "Maybe you could make some friends during the Friendship Games."
"Thanks Cadance…" Twilight said before she looked down. "Even if your principal is forcing you to do it just so you can be accepted into an independent study program." Just as she was about to get on the bus, they all suddenly heard someone yelling before they turned to see Courage running at full speed before he ran past them. "What was that?"
"Whoever was that, he seemed to be in a hurry." Cadence mentioned before they saw him coming back. He once again ran past them before he made a quick u-turn and came to a stop right in front of them.
"Uh, could either of you tell me where to find Canterlot High? I'm lost." Courage said, which caused them to fall backwards.
"You mean you've been running around just to look for a school?!" Twilight exclaimed at him.
"In my defense, I'm new to the US so I don't know my way around this town." Courage told them as he rubbed the back of his head. "I'm Courage Heart, and I just moved here from Japan."
"That would explain the watch on your wrist and how it looks different from any watch I've seen." Cadence mentioned as she pointed to the one he's wearing. The watch itself has a watch belt and the watch body is white in color, the watch belt having gray Y's going down it. The watch face plate is black with red wisps on the top and bottom. It has a dial that is clock hands in the middle in the shape of a Y.
"Oh this was a gift from a friend." Courage told them. "So how do I get to Canterlot High from here?"
"Well you're in luck, we're just about to go there ourselves." Cadence told him. "Would you like to come aboard? Just don't let Principal Cinch see you."
"That would be nice, thanks." Both him and Twilight then climbed onto the bus.
"Are we gonna win?!" Indigo Zap shouted when she jumped up from her seat and scared the two.
"I… I don't know." Twilight said, making Indigo frown.
"Wrong answer, try again!" She shouted at her. "ARE, WE, GONNA, WIN?!"
"Um, I guess…" Twilight answered, still sounding unsure. "It's just… I mean… I heard CHS is doing well now, with their reputation. And… I mean, it's not better than ours, of course. We can't let them do it. Win I mean… right?" Some of the students on board looked at Twilight with a raised brow while Courage looked confused at what they were talking about.
"Win what exactly?" Courage asked Indigo.
"The Friendship Games, what else?!" She shouted before she realized something. "Are you new here or something?"
"Well yeah, I moved here from Japan and I got lost trying to find CHS." Courage admitted and that caused Indigo to chuckle. "What's so funny?"
"You picked a really bad school to transfer to, especially when we're about to start the Friendship Games!" She told him. "We pretty much beat them at everything." Courage looked at her before he had a smirk on his face.
"Well maybe this time things will be different!" He explained as he got in her face. "After all, she said that CHS is gaining a reputation which means things will be different and we might win and not you!"
"What would a newbie like you know anything about?!" Indigo shouted as she got into his face.
"They say losing gives you the motivation to try harder at winning!" He shouted back at her. The two of them had wide grins on their faces as they tried to push each other back.
"Hey, are you two going to kiss or are you going to take her seat?!" Sour Sweet exclaimed.
"What was that?" Courage turned to her.
"It's just that we should probably get going before our principal gets upset." Sour Sweet explained innocently.
"Oh right." Courage then walked behind Twilight as they looked for a seat to sit down while Sour just rolled her eyes as Sunny Flare came up behind her.
"Who exactly is that guy?" Sour growled.
"I don't know, but he's kind of cute." Sunny whispered as she looked at Courage. Meanwhile, Courage sat in front of Twilight while she sat next to Sugarcoat and Lemon Zest. Twilight looked in her bag after Sugarcoat told her not to say anything. She pet the head of her pet dog Spike before she could hear Courage mumbling to himself. She looked up and she saw what looked to be a white blob with blue lips and black mark over its eyes. Although it looked see-through and could barely be seen.
She wondered what the thing was before her thoughts were interrupted when Lemon Zest was listening to loud music on her headphones. "Yo, you've got to hear this!" Lemon shouted before she put her headphones on twilight. Twilight cringed her face at the loud music booming in her ears. No one didn't noticed a black aura coming off her before it was being absorbed by something in the shadows next to her as the bus pulled out of the driveway.
"Did you really have to follow me to school, Whisper?" Courage asked the blob floating next to him.
"Well I am your Yokai Butler." Whisper spoke in a British accent as he floated around Courage. "After all, since the day we first met I have devoted myself to serve you."
"I know, I know." Courage sighed. "But it was your directions that got us lost in the first place."
"Well it's not my fault that the map I bought was last year's one and I should have known not to buy it online." Whisper excused himself as he pulled out a Yokai Pad. "But at least we know that there's a special event for both schools to do. The Friendship Games sounds very fun if you ask me."
"Yeah, but everyone here seems to care more about winning instead of friendship and stuff." Courage mentioned before he noticed Canterlot High just up ahead. "That must be my new school."
"Hmm, and that woman with the colorful hair must be your new principal." Whisper mentioned after seeing Principal Celestia on the sidewalk just as the bus parked in front of her. "I think you should go and apologize for being late." Courage rolled his eyes just as the bus stopped and he got up to go greet his new principal. Whisper was about to follow him before he noticed a dark aura coming off of Twilight and being absorbed into the shadows. "I should really check that out, another time."
Principal Cinch walked off the bus just as Courage jumped off it. "Hello new principal! He greeted Celestia and startled Cinch. "So sorry about being late, I got lost."
"It's quite alright," Celestia assured him. "You must be the new transfer student, Courage Heart."
"And the least you could do is say sorry for startling me." Cinch spoke up.
"Oh sorry, I guess I didn't see you there." Courage rubbed the back of his head just as Vice Principal Luna walked up to them.
"Why don't you cut him some slack, Principal Cinch? This is his first day of school." Celestia told her. "For now, Vice Principal Luna will help your students get settled if you'd like me to show you around. There have been quite a few changes since your last visit."
"Oh yes Principal Celestia, I'm sure that would be fascinating." Cinch said in a sarcastic tone as some of the students from Crystal Prep got off the bus. Cadence however went over to Luna as they embraced each other in a hug.
"Oh it's always such a pleasure to see you Dean Cadence." Luna told her with a smile. "Even if it means another defeat."
"Thank you Vice President Luna, but I hear it's not going to be so easy this time." Cadence told Luna just as Twilight was coming off the bus. Courage noticed how some of the students treat her as a doormat. The girl named Sugarcoat even told Twilight that before she got off the bus. Both Whisper and Courage noticed something absorbing the dark aura coming off of Twilight.
"Did you see that?" He whispered to Whisper. "I get a bad feeling just from seeing that."
"Although that necklace of hers is beeping." Whisper said after noticing the purple round locket necklace around her neck. They watched as Twilight held up the locket and pointed towards the school. She then decided to make her way towards the school when no one was looking. "What do you think she's up to?"
"Let's follow her and find out." Courage suggested. "Besides, I'm trying to find out if a Yokai was absorbing that dark aura from her."
"I highly doubt a Yokai is behind what's absorbing from her." Whisper doubted while Courage and Twilight already went up ahead. "Hey! Wait up for me!" As Twilight walked up the steps to the entrance, she walked by two girls as one of them greeted her as if they knew her. Courage and Whisper followed find inside and every person she passes by, they seem to greet Twilight and know her for some reason.
Like this seems to baffle Twilight as she has no idea how they know her name or anything. She was so confused that she didn't look where she was going and bumped into someone with blue hair, yellow skin, wearing a leather jacket and a white T-shirt with a shield on it with a lightning bolt in the middle. This teen boy also had a guitar case when they both fell to the floor. "And this is why you should never walk backwards." Whisper mentioned.
"Twilight? I almost didn't recognize you." The teen boy said, sounding happier than others as he helped her up. He noticed her squinting her eyes before he saw her glasses on the floor. "When did you start wearing glasses?"
"Um, since forever." Twilight answered as he picked up her glasses.
"Oh, how long are you here for?"
"Just for the Friendship Games." She responded.
"Right, of course. We'll totally win with you here. He said as he put her glasses back on her. With her glasses back on, Twilight got a good look at the boy as he gave a warm smile to her.
"Oh my, can anyone say love at first sight?" Whisper said to the fourth wall. "After all, this is a total classic boy meets girl thing." Whisper then suddenly changed into a costume that looked similar to the teen boy. "I must say, you look very beautiful with those glasses on." He tried to mimic the teen's voice before he suddenly changed costumes and looked like Twilight. "Oh well, thank you very much!" He acted like Twilight a little.
Courage cringed at Whisper while Twilight noticed her locket beeping and pointing in a different direction. "Um… I gotta go." She told him as she ran past him.
"Uh, okay? Bye!" He said before he let out a sigh while he covered his face.
"Hey, are you okay?" Courage asked as he walked up to him.
"Yeah, she's just probably going off to meet her friends." He answered before he noticed Courage. "Oh uh, you new here?"
"Yeah, I just moved here from Japan and sort of got lost on my way here." Courage admitted. "But I was given a ride here and well, here I am." He then extended his hand out to the teen boy. "I'm Courage Heart."
"Flash Sentry." He introduced himself as they shook hands. "So, would you like a tour of the school before the games?"
"That sounds good, and maybe you can tell me about this girl everyone's calling Twilight." The two of them then went for the tour of the school with Whisper following behind. Flash looked over and almost caught a glimpse of him but could barely see him. Flash wondered what it was before he just shrugged it off.
The rest of the day seemed fine except for the competitive spirit between the two schools and the games haven't even started yet. Courage seemed to notice this and also he was told about Twilight and everything that happened at the school. Flash told him he wouldn't believe the stuff that has happened, but Courage told him that he has seen his fair share of impossible things in Japan. Courage however kept a close eye on Twilight because of the dark aura being absorbed by something in the shadow.
Courage was even told about a band called the Rainbooms and overheard a conversation between a girl named Pinkie Pie and Twilight. The pendant is a spectrometer she's using to track Em frequencies and also capture them inside it. He noticed that Pinkie Pie seem to be like a party animal as she turned the greeting party into a real party and everyone from both schools enjoyed it.
When the games really begun, Courage saw firsthand how the students from each school got competitive and each event. However he was trying to focus more on Twilight as he was trying to figure out what was absorbing the dark aura. He even saw Flash tried to give Twilight a compliment but she was too focused on what she was doing to even notice. He sometimes sees Twilight spying on the Rainbooms and they seem to treat Twilight like a very close friend.
When she was talking with a girl Fluttershy, something weird happened and pink portals suddenly opened up around them. He also noticed a strange energy being absorbed from Fluttershy into Twilight's pendant. After it was over, her dog Spike was able to talk all of the sudden.
It wasn't up until the next event of an obstacle course that things got really out of hand. Sour Sweet Sweet seemed to be bagging on Twilight for bad aiming at the first start of the obstacle course. Courage noticed that when she started to cry, the dark aura coming off of her was being absorbed somewhere in the shadows near the bleachers. When he went to go check it out, the flow certainly stopped when Applejack decided to help Twilight. He wondered if Twilight being bullied is the cause of the dark aura but friendship seems to stop it.
Only after another energy was being absorbed into Twilight's pendant from Applejack that things got really weird. Twilight tried to close it but fell back and dropped it as more portals started to open up. Then these weird vines started to come out of the portals and cause a little trouble. Courage took out a metal with a red small dragon on the front of it as he was about to do something else before Twilight was able to close her pendant at the end of the event when CHS won.
Courage then look back at Twilight as she was getting yelled at by Sunset Shimmer after her pendant was absorbing energy from Rainbow Dash again. The strangest thing Rainbow Dash had wings on her back before the energy was being absorbed by the pendant. Courage noticed a large amount of dark aura coming off of Twilight when she started to cry and saw it coming from the bleachers yet again.
"There it is again." He said when he was next to whatever was absorbing the dark aura before he took his watch and moved the ring. The Y was now facing downwards and showed an eyeball before it lit up. He shined the blue light around until it hit some sort of shadowy figure. "There it is!" Just before what he and Whisper could see come clear, it's only made a mad dash away from them.
"It's getting away!" Both him and Whisper started to chase after it as he was trying to keep the light focused on whatever it is they saw.
"Are we not going to talk about that strange glow coming off of those girls or those strange portals that appeared when that locket opened up?!" Whisper asked Courage as he floated next to him.
"We'll worry about that later, this could be bigger than that!" Courage told him as they ran past Flash when they made their way through the school hallways.
"Hey Courage, where are you going?!" Flash called out as he chased after him.
"Just trying to…" Courage trying to explain before he stopped and looked around. "It's got away…"
"What got away?" Courage looked at Flash before letting out a sigh.
"Remember when I said I had my fair share of weird things back in Japan?" Flash nodded in response. "Well, the weird things I was talking about involve Yo-kai."
"Yokai?"
"You know, those things we call spirits or interdimensional beings." Courage explained. "I sort of have had this ability to see Yo-kai ever since I was born."
"Is that what that thing is floating next to you, a Yo-kai?" Flash asked as he pointed towards Whisper. Both him and Courage looked at each other for a moment before they had a shock look on their faces.
"You mean you can see Whisper?!" Courage exclaimed.
"Kind of, I mean I can barely see him." Flash rubbed the back of his head. "I guess I am able to see Yo-kai but I thought it was just my imagination playing tricks on me."
"This is perfect!" Whisper declared. "Perhaps you can help find whatever it was we were chasing!"
"What is it exactly?"
"We're not sure, but I think it may be a Yo-kai." Courage explained. "And I think this Yo-kai may be inspiriting Twilight in some way. Every time Twilight gets bullied or something like that, she admits a dark Aura and I think that a Yo-kai may be absorbing it."
"Which is very bad news if it's true." Whisper spoke up as he took out a Yo-kai Pad. "If a Yo-kai absorbs too much negative energy from the person they're inspiriting, they become out of control and blanket the area in a dark mist to which no human can escape from. This is something we call 'Dread Time.'"
"And that's something that we don't want, right?" Flash asked.
"No we don't." Courage confirmed. "We need to find it before we're too late."
"And there's only two ways to stop a Yo-kai from doing what it's doing, negotiation or confrontation." Whisper mentioned.
"But how will we find it?"
"With this." Courage showed Flash the watch on his wrist. "It's called the Yo-kai Watch and it helps me find any Yo-kai that's hiding in the shadows."
"Correction, it's the Yo-kai Watch: YSP model." Whisper mentioned. "It stands for Yo-kai Special Power."
"Okay, so where do you think we should start looking for this Yo-kai?" Flash asked before they started looking high and low around the school for this Yo-kai. The three of them soon found themselves on the roof of the school in their search for that Yo-kai, having no luck finding it. Flash looked down at the front of the school and saw that the final event was about to begin. "Oh great, It's the final event and there's still no sign of that Yo-kai."
"Yo-kai are naturally good at hiding." Whisper said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"If that Yo-kai absorbs even more negative energy, we're in for a serious Dread Time with it." Courage complained as he rubbed the back of his head. Flash noticed that Principal Cinch and some of the students of Crystal Prep seemed to be pressuring Twilight about releasing the magic inside the pendant.
"And by the looks of what's happening down there, it may not be long." Flash said with a worried tone. "How can they just treat her like that?!" Both Courage and Whisper looked down as Twilight and Sunset looked towards each other and Sunset had a worried look on her face as Twilight was about to open the locket. Sunset tried to stop this, but was too late as a burst of energy came out of the locket.
The locket itself fell to the ground as an orb of energy was in front of Twilight and began to lift her up in the air as it expanded. Everyone watched in horror as she was being sucked up into the orb in trying to get out of it. "Help me!!" She called out as Courage, Flash, and Whisper quickly made their way down and to the front of the school just before the orb completely swallowed Twilight.
In a burst of light, Twilight's eyes glowed white as something was happening to her. She's only transformed in a dark purple and violet dress as dark wings sprouted from our back. A horn made of energy extended out from our forehead as her hair started to flow up and look dark before her eyes opened up and glowed. She was no longer Twilight Sparkle, she is now Midnight Sparkle.
Midnight let out a maniacal laugh before she looked towards Sunset with a wicked grin. "You were right! I didn't understand magic before, but I do now!" She declared as the horn on her head lit up before she fired a beam of magic towards the statue. The statue soon burst and cracks began to form on the ground before a hole in reality started to unravel and showed a different place.
"What is that?!" Courage shouted as the hole was getting bigger.
"Equestria…" Sunset gasped before the hole started to form cracks on the ground. Midnight smirk before she fired a blast towards that crack as the Rainbooms quickly jumped out of the way. Another hole in reality started to form as all the students screamed in Terror. Midnight continued to fire magic blasts in the cracks of reality to create more portals to Equestria. More holes in reality began to form around everyone before Sunny noticed Principal Cinch trying to sneak away.
"Hey, where are you going?!" She shouted at her.
"Anywhere to avoid that monster, and I suggest you do the same!" Cinch told her before she tried to make a run for it. Courage however ran over and quickly tackled Cinch to the ground. "What do you think you're doing?!"
"You're not going anywhere!" He told her with a glare on his face. "You're the one who caused this and it's time you took some responsibility for it!"
"Twilight, you can't do this!" Sunset called out to Midnight.
"Why not?!" Midnight asked rhetorically. "There's a whole other world right there and it's just filled with magic!" She fired another blast towards the school as Celestia, Luna and Cadence quickly jumped out of the way and another hole was made.
"But you're destroying this world to get it!" Sunset pointed out.
"So what?! There's more magic there, and I want to understand it all!" Midnight declared before she unleashed a powerful being towards the ground that created a giant hole. All the students around trying to get away from it to not fall into the hole. Some of the Rainbooms were helping some of the students from Crystal Prep as they almost fell in while Sunset found and picked up the pendant that unleashed the magic.
The Shadowbolts saw this and decided to help out the Rainbooms as they were struggling to help the students. Sunset noticed that the pendant was beeping and knew what to do as each of the Rainbooms started to glow. "This isn't the way!" She told Midnight. "I know how you feel powerful right now, that you could have anything you want! I've been where you are! I made the same mistake you're making! I put on a crown and just like you, I was overwhelmed by the magic it contained! I thought it could get me everything I wanted!"
"Oh you're wrong." Midnight responded. "Unlike you I can have everything I want!"
"No you can't!" Sunset argued. "Even with all that magic and power, you'll still be alone! True magic comes from honesty, loyalty, laughter, generosity, kindness!" Each of the Rainbooms let their magic flow into the pendant as Sunset held it up high. "I understand Twilight, and I want to show you the most important magic of all!" Once she closed the pendant, she threw it down and a bright light covered her as she transformed. She was soon in a bright white dress with her hair flowing up and a red mark between her eyes. Wings made of light sprouted from our back as did a hornet growing on her forehead. "The magic of friendship!"
Sunset then cast magic beans from her hands and sealed the portals to Equestria. Midnight did not like that as she flew forward and the two of them clashed magic together. The impact was powerful; it sent them back a bit before the two of them fired a magic Beam at each other. As this was happening, Whisper noticed the dark aura coming off of Midnight was blowing over to what's left of the statue. "Oh dear…" he gasped.
Midnight let out a maniacal laugh as she was overpowering Sunset, but Sunset held on strong as she knew she had to stop her. "Twilight!" Spike the dog called out to get Midnight's attention. He looked up at her with puppy dog eyes before her eyes went back to normal for a bit.
"Spike?" She whispered before Sunset took this opportunity to push back and a bright light covered the area. Everyone was blinded by the light and couldn't see what was happening before it suddenly died down as both Sunset and Twilight were back to normal and they landed safely on the ground as everything was all right again. Sunset had accomplished and returned Twilight back to herself before Spike, with her glasses in his mouth quickly jumped up and she laughed as they fell to the ground.
Principal Cinch came out hiding from under the bleachers before she marched over to Principal Celestia. "Celestia, on behalf of Crystal Prep I demand that you forfeit the Friendship Games!" She demanded as Luna and Cadence walked up next to celestia. "Clearly CHS had an unfair advantage for quite some time and it is certainly obvious that your students have been using magic for their own benefit."
"Man, really is something else." Courage whispered to Sunny, who nodded in agreement.
"I think that saving the world benefits us all." Celestia argued in a smug tone.
"At least they didn't manipulate Twilight into releasing all the stolen magic and turning into a power hungry crazy magical creature that tried to rip the world apart to win the game." Sugarcoat spoke up.
"Wow, that's a lot to take in if you say it all at once." Pinkie Pie mentioned.
"Uh, Courage…we have a big problem…" Whisper whispered harshly to him before he pointed towards the statue. Courage looked over and turned the watch as he pointed the light towards the statue in his eyes went wide with horror.
"Uh oh…" He breathed out.
"That's ridiculous!" Cinch growled.
"Nope, that's pretty much what happened." Spike spoke up.
"Actually, we're all to blame." Sour Sweet admitted before she had a glare on her face. "But mostly it was her."
"IT WAS ALL OF YOU!!!" A voice in a venomous tone shouted before a dark mist started to roll in.
"What is happening?!" Flash exclaimed as they all wondered the same thing.
"We're too late!" Courage exclaimed as a dark dome covered the area.
"It's Dread Time!" Whisper declared as a sudden burst of darkness came from the statue. Everyone saw a wicked face as a pulse of darkness was sent everywhere. That pulse caused Whisper to be seen by everyone before the darkness started to gather in that one spot. They all watched as the darkness took form that looked like a horse but with sharp teeth and a very large horn covering its face while they could see its sharp teeth. It stood on its hind legs before it let out a frightening roar.
"YOU ALL ARE DESPICABLE!!!" The monster roared at all of them. "YOU'RE ALL SELFISH AND TERRIBLE!! YOU ONLY CARE FOR YOURSELVES AND NEVER APPRECIATE FOR WHAT OTHERS HAVE DONE! EPICALLY TWILIGHT!! I WILL PROTECT HER FROM ALL OF YOU!!" It lunged forward and everyone quickly jumped out of the way when it dried the three horns into the ground. It then focused on the Shadowbolts as they scattered around when it went after them.
"What is that monstrosity?!" Cinch exclaimed before she quickly got pulled out of the way by Celestia when it tried to pounce at her.
"That is a Yo-kai when it takes in too much negative energy!" Whisper answered as he flew next to both of them and showed an image on the Yo-kai pad. "Right now, it has blanketed the area in a dark mist so no human or Yo-kai can escape from. In other words we're in Dread Time!"
"Whisper, duck!" Courage called out before the out of control Yo-kai swung its arm and whacked Whisper. Whisper cried out as he was being thrown through the building and crashed into a few things before his face planted on a chalkboard.
"I guess negotiation is out of the picture…" He whizzed out as he fell to the floor.
"What are we going to do to stop that thing?!" Rainbow exclaimed before she tucked and rolled under the things attack.
"Flash, watch over Twilight and make sure she's safe!" Courage called out before he turned to the principles. "You better make sure that your students stay safe!" He then stood his ground as he faced the monstrous Yo-kai. "I'll handle the horn head here!"
"You can't possibly take that thing on your own!" Sunny pointed out, but Courage just looked at her with a grin.
"I'm not on my own." He told her as he pulled out a small silver medal with a red looking dragon on the front. "I have my friends with me." He then smiled brightly as he had a look of determination on his face. "Come on out my friend!" He then tossed the medal up in the air as it looked like it was letting out energy as it went up. "Calling Dragysuu!" As soon as it came down, he quickly caught it and held up his watch. "Yo-kai medal, do your thing!" In one swift motion, he inserted the medal into the slot of the watch before it lit up.
♪Come on, ghost!~♪
Summoning Brave!
A red light shot out from the watch as something emerged from the light. It looked like a small dragon with red scales down its body with its left arm being black and the right arm being white. It had a small flame on the top of its head while its tail had a yellow sharp tip at the end of it. Its wings were white with yellow on the inside of them. It looked to be dancing as there was music playing.
Sumo shave! Flavo engrave! Flash team'a Brave!
"Dragysuu!" The Yo-kai introduced herself as it did oppose and spoke in a confident female voice. She then landed on the ground before looking towards Courage. "What's up, Courage? Good to see again."
"Aw, she looks so adorable!" Fluttershy squealed after seeing the new Yo-kai appear.
"What is that anyway?" Sunset asked as Whisper came floating in with a bandage on his head and holding up his Yo-kai pad.
"Meet Dragysuu, a Yo-kai from the Brave Tribe." He said he was reading the information on her on the path. "She's a Yo-kai that makes people have a very high level of confidence and bravery whoever she inspirits."
"Did you really look all that up?" Rainbow asked before taking the pad. "Yo-kai wiki?"
Whisper quickly took back the pad and shot a glare at her. "It's just for reference, don't judge me!"
"Looks like you got yourself in another Dread Time." Dragysuu mentioned after looking around and seeing the monstrous Yo-kai. "You called the right Yo-kai for the job." She did a couple of stretches before taking a battle stance. "Let's do this!"
"YOU THINK A PUNY YO-KAI LIKE YOU CAN TAKE ME ON?!" The monstrous Yo-kai shouted as it lunged forward. Dragysuu quickly dodged its attack by jumping high and over it. She then raced around it as it tried to jab at her. She quickly dodged another attack before running up its arm and scratching its face. It roared before knocking her away and she skied on the ground to halt herself.
"Bring it on!" Dragysuu charged forward before taking flight with her wings. "Dragon drill!!" She aimed her tail forward before covering herself with her wings and started to spin around. She acted like a drill as she struck the monstrous Yo-kai. It roared in pain before whacking her away with just one hit. Courage quickly jumped and caught her before she could crash into the wall. "She's a really tough one."
"There's no way we're giving up!" Courage told her as he stood tall. "Ever since the day I found out Yo-kai were real, my life has never been the same! And I wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world!" Everyone noticed a red aura coming off of him as he had a confident smile on his face. "If anything, I'm very glad to have met Yo-kai in the first place and I am really happy to have them as my friends!"
"Oh my, I have a feeling that things are going to get interesting!" Whisper said excitedly as Courage took out another medal. This medal looks different than the one he used before as the top half was black and the bottom was red. On it is what looks to be some sort of human and dragon hybrid carrying a sword.
"Yo-kai Hero medal, henshin!" Courage declared as in one swift motion, he inserted the medal into the watch. It then lit up before forming a circle around him as it chanted.
Y!
♪Change Form, Yo-kai Hero!♪
The circle that was around him soon hovered in front of him as he spread his arms out and moved his right arm up and his left arm down while symbols appeared around the circle. Each symbol on the circle soon became only two symbols as one was on top and the other was on the bottom. He then brought up his watch and turned the ring so that the Y is facing upwards.
Dragysuu suddenly stretched out before she started to wrap around Courage's body. The moment her head came down on his, he had transformed into a human dragon hybrid with horns on his head and a X that is made of flames on the center of his face. Half of his face was covered by a collar from a jacket he was wearing with the sleeves being black on the left side and white on the right while he still had the watch on. The white in his eyes were black while the color in the center was golden yellow and he had fire red down the middle of his body as he had a sword scabbard with three golden lines along the side. A sword appeared in front of him with the bottom of the blade being black and the top of it being golden with a flame in the guard of the sword.
The background suddenly became a ancient castle from the medieval times before the torches behind him lit up. "I may have the flames in my hands…" He spoke in a deep voice as he took the sword before he slashed around and rested it on his shoulder. "But I'm cool headed when in battle."
Crimson Knight!
Everyone was shocked and amazed by Ccrimson's sudden transformation into, whatever he is now. "That…looks…AWESOME!!" Rainbow shouted.
"What is that and how is that possible?!" Twilight explained as she was processing what she just witnessed.
"Say hello to Crimson Knight, a Yo-kai Hero!" Whisper told them as he looked at his Yo-kai pad. "A Yo-kai Hero is a result of a bond between Yo-kai and a human such as Courage and Dragysuu. Very few Yo-kai have this ability and you'll need a very special medal to pull this off. If you think Dragysuu was strong on her own, just wait until you see Crimson Knight in action."
"JUST BECAUSE YOU BECAME A YO-KAI HERO, DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN DEFEAT ME!!" The monstrous Yo-kai declared before it lunged forward right at Crimson Knight. Crimson Knight quickly jumped out of the way when it thrusted one of its horns right at him before he drew his sword out and flashed it from behind.
"We will see about that." He said as he rested his sword on his shoulder and taunted the Yo-kai to come at him. It growled before it charged right at him as he readied his sword. The two of them clashed weapons as they fought. Sparks flew with each strike as the Yo-kai thrusted its horns right at him and he used his sword to block each attack. Every time he spotted an opening to attack, he took it as he slashed his sword right at the Yo-kai.
He soon did a backflip and kicked the Yo-kai right in the jaw to send it flying back before it used its horns to stop itself. "Ready to give up yet?"
"NEVER, I WILL NOT LET HER GET HURT ANYMORE!!" The Yo-kai shouted before Crimson Knight looked over at Twilight. He thought about how this Yo-kai was taking in all the negative energy coming off of Twilight every time she was bullied before he came to a conclusion.
"Now I understand." Heat whispered before he took out a yellow medal with himself on it but it looked like he was doing a powerful attack. "Let's finish this." With one swift motion, he inserted the medal into the watch.
Y!
Execute!
Power flowed from the watch and into a sword. The Flames from the guard grew bigger as it covered the blade. He lowered his stance as he prepared his finishing move. "Thousand Flame Slash!" He declared before he took one step forward and launched himself straight towards the Yo-kai. The Yo-kai charged right at him before he swung his sword and delivered a powerful blow right at it. He soon landed behind the Yo-kai before swinging his sword around and placing it in the scabbard. The moment it was in, the Yo-kai behind them suddenly burst into a big burst of darkness.
"Way to go Crimson Knight!" Whisper cheered as he was in a cheerleader outfit. "Now we just need to purify that Yo-kai!"
"I know that, Whisper." Crimson Knight responded before he held up the watch and turned the ring so that the Y was pointing right and there was a small four-pointed star before the watch glowed bright. He then aimed the watch right at the dark energy before a beam of light hit it. He held his arm as he struggled to keep balanced while this was happening. Everyone watched as the dark energy began to disappear before a bright ball of light suddenly appeared before it lowered itself to the ground.
Soon the ball of light disappeared and in its place looked to be a unicorn with stubby arms and legs and having a swirl on its stomach. It was bright pink while the rest of its body was violet. "That little thing was the big monster that attacked us?" Indigo asked with confusion.
"Her name is Uniyan." Whisper said as he was looking up the information of this Yo-kai on his Yo-kai Pad. "She's a Yo-kai from the Charming Tribe. She's a Yo-kai that inspirits others and causes them to be curious about some things and also makes them do things such as go off on their own without telling anyone."
"That's good to know." Sunset commented before she noticed Twilight walking up to Uniyan. "Twilight, what are you doing?"
"I saw her before, when I was little." Twilight mentioned before she got on her knees just as Uniyan opened her eyes and looked up at her. "I always see her whenever I'm either reading books or out in the park and observing something. I just thought it was my imagination."
"No, I'm real Twilight." Uniyan spoke in a soft tone. "I've always been real."
"Flash, Knight, you both know what this means?" Whisperer said as he pulled the two over to him. "Twilight also has the gift to see Yo-kai."
"Okay but why did you go all crazy and became a monster all of the sudden?" Flash asked Uniyan.
"And why did you absorb negative energy from Twilight from the start?" Crimson Knight added.
"Because I really like her and I don't want to see her get hurt." Uniyan told them before she looked at Twilight. "Ever since you were little, I've grown fond of you and I always thought about how you love to know things and try to understand them. Even when I'm not inspiriting you." She then look towards the Shadowbolts and some of the students from Crystal Prep. "But ever since you went to their school, you began to get hurt from all their bullying. All they care about is winning and don't even care about each other or appreciate what others do."
The students from Crystal prep looked down in shame as they knew she was right. "So I thought if I take in all that negative energy from you when you get bullied, you wouldn't be hurting as much." Uniyan continued before she started to cry. "But then when we came to this school, everybody here treated you as a friend and the negative aura I was absorbing was less and less. But then that Sunset Shimmer girl yelled at you for just wanting to understand something you know! After you released the magic and became that demon girl, I try to to save you by taking up as much negative energy as they could! I'm really sorry I couldn't help you!"
"It's okay, I really don't blame you for what happened." Twilight assured her as Crimson Knight transformed back into Courage and Dragysuu. "I think it's really sweet of you that you care about me like that."
"Really?"
"Of course, I never meant anyone who could be so kind enough to do what you did for me." Twilight replied with a smile.
"Even I would have done the same." Spike mentioned before Twilight picked up Uniyan.
"I really think you're a great friend Uniyan, and I think that's what I really want." She said before she looked over at the Rainbooms. "Friendship."
"You really mean it?" Uniyan asked before Twilight gave a warm smile and nodded in response. This caused Uniyan to smile brightly too before her whole body glowed and something shined bright right above them. It soon lowered down before the light dispersed and there were a few Yo-kai medals. One was Uniyan's summoning medal while another was black on the top part while the bottom part was purple and had a unicorn woman on the front. The remaining two look to be of the unicorn woman doing some special attacks.
"What are these?" Twilight asked when she held the medals.
"Those are Yo-kai medals." Whisper told her. "When you befriend a Yo-kai, you are given its medal as a sign of friendship between you and the Yo-kai. And it looks like Uniyan is one that can transform you into a Yo-kai Hero."
"And now we're friends forever Twilight!" Uniyan shouted excitedly as she started to hug Twilight.
"This is also very touching," Principal Cinch spoke up. "But do you expect to explain all this to the school board at all?"
"None of us will, because only me, Twilight, Flash and the Yo-kai will remember all of this." Courage told her which confused all of them. They then heard his watch starting to beep before he held it up high. "This will just be our little secret."
Reset!
A bright light came from the watch as it covered the entire area.
Everyone was going about their day like it was all normal and nothing happened. Celestia, Luna, and Cadence decided that everyone was a winner and they knew Cinch wouldn't be much of a threat considering Spike pointed out that all that magic stuff would ruin Crystal Prep's reputation. Courage, Flash, Twilight and the Yo-kai were sitting on the roof and looking down at the others.
They noticed that students from both schools were getting along now. "Now this is how the Friendship Games should be about." Courage commented with a smile.
"So, we're the only ones who remember what happened and they don't?" Twilight asked with curiosity.
"Of course, after all the reason why you do remember is because you have a connection with Yo-kai." Whisper explained. "Now things might be really interesting now that there are three of you."
"I guess it would." Flash said before he looked at Twilight. "So, are you really transferring here?"
"Why not? I have a feeling I might know more about friendship if I go to this school instead. Twilight mentioned before she looked at Courage. "But I'm wondering about something. What's it like having Yo-kai in your life?"
Courage looked at the two before he put his hands on his head and laid back. "Well, let's just say that when Yo-kai entered my life, things were never the same after that." He told them with a smile. Little did any of them know that a girl was watching them from the shadows. This girl had pure white skin and black hair while she also wore a necklace with a Japanese symbol for light on it. She looked at three of them before she had a smile on her face before she suddenly vanished into thin air.
