The full moon casted its pale light over the dark landscape of night. Its light illuminating the grassy rocks of a cliffside. Nothing to notice...except for one strange sight: A man dressed in an all black suit with a trenchcoat, a wide brimmed hat atop his head, and black gloves covering his hands. This man, he just gave off...an air. You could feel he was someone to not get close to.

In his hands was a glass bottle filled with a blue liquid. He dipped a dripper into the blue liquid sucking up a small amount of the liquid. He then held it over a cloth strip on the ground, it was kept flat by a ring of rocks. A black eye symbol drawn with black ink. He squeezed the dripper letting two drops no more no less of the liquid fall and hit the very center of the eye.

Then...the eye 'blinked'. As it did, blue, ghostly flames erupted on the fabric burning it and the ground, turning the black rocks blue from their burn. The grass scorched with blue flames reforming into the same eye symbol that was drawn. The eye blinked again as two objects floated out of it.

The objects where...a pair of eyes? They were seemingly made of an unusual black metal from the back half, a creature like curved tail coming from the back of them. Four inwardly-curved fang/claws framed the four corners around the part that looked exactly like an eye. It was a clear glass dome with white material underneath, in the center was a pupil that was pitch black and seemed to resemble a winding turbine. The eyes were glowing a pale white/blue aura as they floated in the air.

They quickly changed, becoming two figures. Black shapes, moaning like phantoms. They had dark grey boots and gloves. Around their waists a black belt with a large golden buckle with a cartoonish eye in the center. their chests had grey padding resembling the rib cage of a human's body. Their heads were smooth and black with blue wisp-like eyes with a yellow symbol on the center of their foreheads.

The figures continued to moan, like some creature awakened from the dead. They let their minds awaken, their senses synch to their surroundings. They raised their heads up to the man in black. He held up a sheathed Katana and a crescent spear in each hand. He tossed them to the creatures whose hands shot up and grabbed the dangerous weapons.

Upon grabbing them, their bodies changed. Now both were clad in white, the one who grabbed the sword had its entire right arm changed into a giant sword, now garbed in white clothing resembling a samurai's kimono and jinbaori, with faint blues and greens lining the clothing. Two scrolls extending from each shoulder with swallow statues perched on each. It had...hair on its head that seemed slicked back and under another swallow atop its head.

The one who grabbed the spear had more monk like clothing, white robes with black beads wrapping around the arms and waist, it's head had three blades pointing from the top, matching the spear in its hands with golden spikes shoulder pads on each shoulder.

Both of them stopped the moaning, one of them even beginning to chuckle as if happy or excited for what was to come. The man in black smiled, his glasses gleaming in the faint moonlight.

The same location...the same rock. Yet...it was like a strange dream. The sky was grey, the sun blocked, as smoke rose into the sky, while flames raged around the ground, their roars drowning out the natural sounds of the wilderness.

In the middle of this...seemingly war torn area, ,there was a child. A boy maybe no more than simply eight years old. He wore a boy's kimono that was a spotty pattern of white and light purple, a sash tied around his waist keeping the kimono around his torso, dark blue shorts on underneath. He walked through the destruction...scared and confused.

He saw who he searched for; a man...splayed out on a rock...his monk-like clothing torn and burned with crimson stains of blood staining it. The man turned his head up as the boy looked at him, fear, sadness and despair in his eyes. The man used all his force as he gripped a necklace made of a Katana's hand guard and ripped it off his neck. He held the item up to the boy.

"Takeru…" he said presenting it to the boy.

"Tousan…" the boy called Takeru cried as he witnessed the man that was his father struggle through pain.

But this was but a dream...all the dream of this boy who was no boy anymore. He was now a young man with messy brown hair and a pretty boy face. He wore a kimono like jacket that was had a floral pattern covering all of his right side of his attire with the left navy but only covered his arms and site while the collar and lining was still the pink floral pattern, he also had a belt around his waist keeping his jacket secure, it was a blend of pink with stripes of grey and black and had a ring loop. Under the Jacket he had a sleeveless parka with a pink colored torso hidden under his jacket, it had asymmetrical trims on the bottom that where a blue geometric pattern and a matching hood pulled over the collar of his jacket. He wore a pair of black glittery denim jeans with the leather accents through streaks down the sides of his legs and two stripes on the interiors of the thighs. He also had a pair of shoes that matched his kimono jackets pattern. He had a bead necklace around his neck that was made of silver hematite and jet black onyx beads, with a silver pendant made of nine conjoined beads with soul like engravings on them. and finally he had a black macrame bracelet on his left wrist with several silver beads with sanskrit writing in them, save the center that had a symbol that looked like a three armed blade; two onyx beads acting as fasteners.

This youngman was Takeru Tenkuji, age 17...now 18 years old. He rested his head on a desk, lightly mumbling in his sleep. A book acting as a pillow to him.

"Tousan…" he muttered, fully immersed into his dream.

He was sleep in an office with very old computers connected to the walls. But on a lower level of the rome was a shrine, a small pool of water around the sides of the monolith of stone. Carved into it was an eye-like symbol. It was a large oval, with a smaller circle in the center, with a wispy tail above and a dot just in the center. The eye symbol glowed as if responding to something.

As the young Takeru slumbered, his home was meanwhile going about its business. Three monks sat in the main room of a temple. All of them were sitting crosslegged with their hands together, letting the tips of their fingers touch. Two were mere apprentice monks, wearing dull beige robes. One had neatly combed black hair and wore glasses while the other had shorter hair and had a more mischievous look to him. Between them sat their master, a monk with a bald head dressed in brown robes.

The two apprentice monks sat quietly, the one with glasses, Shibuya, letting his mind meditate in peace. But the other one, Narita, opened one eye before he began to make a 'tsk' sound to get his friends attention.

"What?" Shibuya asked quietly so as to not disturb the monk between them.

"Where's Takeru?" Narita asked.

"He's in the office." Shibuya replied.

"How do you know?" Narita asked just to spite his friend.

"Why would you ask me if you think I don't know?" Shibuya asked getting fed up with this.

"You could just be guessing." Narita countered.

"KATSU!" the monk between them suddenly shouted making them both fall over. "Unacceptable, you two shall not go disturb Takeru-Dono from his studies!" he scolded the two as he stood up.

This Monk was Onari, a 26 year old monk who has taken care of Takeru since his father's death and this temple as well.

"He has not completed his training, we can not just invite him to idle from his duties. This includes the two of you."

"See what you did, Shibuya." Narita blamed his glasses wearing friend despite being the one who started it.

"Wha...I...oh good grief…" Shibuya sighed at this.

"Speaking of which, Takeru-dono has to make his rounds around the temple grounds." Onari remembered as he walked through the temple to the living quarters within.

He walked through the living room which had a large glass table with different kinds of stones inside like a display case. He then made his way down one hall before stopping at a very large iron door. Onari opened the door, revealing the large room beyond, a staircase leading to its bottom marble floor. To one side was the shrine with the stone monolith, but to the other were two floors separated by a metal catwalk/floor. Above were desks and computers for research, while below was a table and a few drawers much like a little living section.

"Takeru-dono." Onari called out as he walked into the room.

He then looked up the stairs to the top floor section. Takeru still sleeping with his head rested against the book. Onari made his way up the stairs and stopped at the desk. Looking over the sleeping Takeru, he noted that the current page depicted a man in armor with two swords.

"Miyamoto Musashi…" Onari read over the title of the page before he gently nudged Takeru, stirring him awake.

"Hm...Onari?" Takeru asked before giving a yawn while rubbing his eyes. "What time is it?" he asked as he stood up out of the chair.

"It is time for you to begin your route around the temple." Onari stated. "I see that Takeru-dono was busy studying the book left behind by the last head." he pointed to the book as Takeru closed it.

"It was a little too complicated for an eight year old, but now I can really appreciate it," Takeru informed as he looked at the book, "A hero is a person whose life burns brighter than others."

"Yes. I do believe Takeru-dono's father told me such a thing when I started out here 10 years ago." Onari smiled as Takeru sat down at a bench before he let himself fall back on it.

"I swore on this handguard from one of Musashi swords to become a strong strong man just like Musashi himself." he smiled as he grabbed the necklace around himself and held up the katana handguard, "Did you know that Musashi fought Sasaki Kojiro on Ganryujima in a duel and won? They say he was only 18 at the time."

Eyecon Historical Trivia: Miyamoto Musashi - A swordsman from the early Edo period who won many duels. This legendary warrior founded the Hyoho Niten Ichi School style, which uses two swords at once.

"The same age as you Takeru-dono." Onari smiled, seeing the gleam in Takeru's eye as he talked about him. To see Takeru use the knowledge of that he gained from his father's last gift. It made him happy, like a connection to his father that keeps him happy.

"Yeah...but the times are just different I suppose." Takeru sighed as he sat up. "Back then...I would have been able to do more...now...I can't really do much to help other people. I could become a ghost hunter...but..." he trailed off as he walked down the stairs before he suddenly stopped and sat down. "I can't even see Ghosts." he stated with another sigh.

"That is because Takeru-dono must train more...once you have attained the same level of enlightenment as your father, you shall surely see them." Onari stated proudly.

"Maybe…" Takeru said as he stood up.

"Yes, now you shall get to your duties," Onari informed as the two walked out of the room.

"Can't you get Narita to do it today?" Takeru asked.

"Takeru-Dono…" Onari said, a slight annoyed tone in his voice.

"Okay, okay I'm going." he chuckled.

"And remember to make sure no one trespasses around the sacred tree behind the temple." Onari reminded.

"And...ike!" a butterfly net swiftly engulfed a cicada in the air, "Yatta! A brown cicada! Coming up here was a good idea after all!"

A minute later and the owner of the butterfly net hummed to herself as she walked along the forest. The girl was a young woman of eighteen years of age, her long blue hair pulled back into a ponytail that ended at the middle of her back. Her teal-colored eyes were filled with mirth as she kept her somewhat large backpack on her back. She wore a cream short-jacket with a pocket on each side of the upper front of the jacket with a pink tee under it and a pair of blue jeans.

"I finally have one of each bug around New Sakura Town. Now all I need to do is start the study and my graduation project will be almost done," the girl giggled with a small bounce in her step, causing her rather impressive bosom to bounce a bit each time.

She walked through the back paths of the forest which had a less noticeable path, but was a nice scenic route. It was also a perfect area to go bug catching if you needed to do so. Eventually, the trees began to grow thinner until she finally came to a circular clearing with one large tree in the center.

"Hm?" the girl tilted her head, "This is strange." before her was a huge tree, the trunk sporting a braided rope as thick as her body with white papers attached to it, "It's huge…I…Could there be some bugs here?" she then looked down at the base to see a pair of grave markers behind a rock…with a stone gashapon machine resting on top of the rock, "A gashapon? Made of stone?" she bent down to get a better look, "Why would anyone make something like this?"

"Fe~ed me~, feed me~"

"?!" the girl bounced back, "Wh-What was that?!"

"Fe~ed me~, feed me~"

"Th-The stone gashapon's singing?!" the girl gawked, her eyes widening in shock.

"Feed me~! Feed me~! Feed me right now~!"

"Demanding, too," the girl gulped.

"Fe~ed me~, feed me~"

"Mmm…" she dug into her pocket and took out a hundred yen coin, "Yokatta…They didn't take it."

"Fe~ed me~, feed me~"

"O-Okay," she noted as she slowly slid the coin into the slot.

"Feed me~! Feed me~! Feed me right now~!"

She turned the knob and a stone prize ball fell out of the bottom.

"Hmm...hmm…" a voice hummed as Takeru walked into the same location before he noticed the girl that was also there. "Ano?" he called out suddenly, "Oi! What are you doing there?!"

"Nani?!" the girl turned, unintentionally twisting open the prize ball.

She moved back when a puff of smoke came from the ball that was dispersed by the blue light that began to float before her. The light pulsed before erupting into a massive spiraling vortex made of a sutra scroll made of a blue translucent light, wisps of blue light spiraling about that.

"Oh~" she gasped, faintly seeing a figure floating within the light.

"N-n-n-n-NANI?!" Takeru exclaimed as he ran over.

"Fu~shi~shi~shi~shi~shi~…" the figure's echoing voice reverberated as they gave a huge smile before a plume of magenta smoke dispelled the light.

"E-Eh? What…What is…?" the girl began as she now saw the figure looked like a stereotype for a ghost-being a white body with a wispy lower half, large blue/purple lips, and a black line connecting both eyes.

"Hi~!" the ghost greeted enthusiastically, "Watashi wa Whisper!" he bowed formally before saluting, "At your serwhisp."

Yokai: Whisper

Tribe: Unknown

Rank: Unknown

Element: Unknown

"Nani kore!?" Takeru stated loudly as he fell back seeing the being known as Whisper. "A...ghost?"

"I am what you humans commonly refer to as a 'Yokai,'" Whisper informed, zipping about her as he spoke quickly.

"Yokai? A…And you can talk fan…" the girl began.

"Hai! We are mysterious beings that cause mysterious events! And you want to know why I was in a Gashapon?"

"Uh-huh," she nodded.

"Ano…" Takeru began.

"That story dates back to 500 years ago!" Whisper informed, "A 'righteous' monk decided all Yokai are evil and he sealed me with great prejudice. And just how did I end up in a stone Gashapon?" he shrugged, "Who cares about little details like that. What matters is that you freed me from my loooooong imprisonment!" he pointed right at the surprised girl, stars in his eyes, "You, yourself, and you!"

"Yokai…" Takeru spoke in shock as he overheard all of that. 'Yokai...are real...and I'm seeing one right now? What would Onari do about this...well besides pass out from fear and shock.'

Speaking of Onari, the monk was back at the temple setting up for lunch for when Takeru got back. A plate of snacks, four tea cups for everyone, and the TV turned on as well. Onari did enjoy his daily stories after all.

"Let us see what is new today." he muttered raising the volume.

-Strange events have been reported going on around town today, a car suddenly split in two. Luckily all four occupants are alright. However we wish the same could be said about the accident that happened at the amusement park at the same time.- the News Reporter stated as she read over what she had to say. Images of a car literally split in two appearing next to her. -A ship ride somehow came off its safety axis and was sent flying at a nearby tower...we are sad to report that there were several casualties from this incident.-

Onari watched the news, letting his jaw hang open for a second.

"It is the work of ghosts…" he slowly said. "Takeru-dono!" he shouted as he got up and ran for the door.

"Any questions?" Whisper asked.

"Why was it a stone gashapon?" she asked.

"NANI?!" Whisper exclaimed as he fell hard onto the ground in shock, "Th-That's all you can say?!"

"G-Gomenassai!" she apologized, bowing quickly.

"How can you exist?" Takeru asked suddenly. "Your...you're a Yokai...Yokai...they don't exist...don't they?" he asked, his face portraying he was confused and unsure.

"Ah~You truly think that?" Whisper asked before chuckling, "Well now, Yokai are everywhere, you just can't see them usually. Haven't you ever had the sudden urge to go to the bathroom almost immediately? Perhaps the remote is lost, but you suddenly find it in the strangest of places?" he moved closer and closer to Takeru with each question, "Or, perhaps, you've even had a sudden urge to just start telling secrets without even aware of it? Perhaps even extremely bad luck?"

"Eh...but those are just common occurrences…" Takeru replied still confused.

"Ano...I think I know what you mean, Whisper-san," the girl noted, "In a class I was in last year, two of the students were extremely close friends and always got along great, but they suddenly started arguing over something they just agreed on and no one could understand why. They didn't even remember arguing the next day."

"That is kind of weird...wait are you saying that Yokai have something to do with that?" Takeru realized what the being known as Whisper must have been implying.

"Correct!" Whisper informed, "Many unusual things can be connected to different Yokai. Those two friends you mentioned were most likely Inspirited by a Yokai at that time." he then let out a scream before bowing to the girl, "Ah! Gomenassai! I forgot to ask for the name of my new mistress?"

"Mistress?" the girl and Takeru tilted their heads.

"Of course. I am not just any regular Yokai, you two," Whisper twitched a finger at them before bowing, "I am a Yokai Butler, a Yokai who acts as a guide and assistant to whomever is my master or mistress."

"O-Oh! I...Watashi wa Miko Cyber," the girl bowed.

"So like the Butler Batman has?" Takeru asked to clarify.

"Who?" Whisper questioned, "Hmm...Well, it has been 500 years since I was…"

"Demo...Y-You don't have to be my butler if you don't want to, Whisper-san," Cyber noted.

"Of course I do! You freed me from 190 years of imprisonment! That's 2,280 months! That's 9,880 weeks! That's 69,397 days! That's 99,930,310 minutes that have passed by just like THAT! We Yokai don't age," Whisper informed, "And since you released me, I shall become your Yokai Butler! No exceptions. And as a sign of that bond..." he turned around before turning once more, holding something up, "A gift from me to you!"

Takeru and Cyber blinked. The object in question was a necklace, the chain for it made of a blue metallic material. The pendant on it was big enough to fit perfectly in her hand. The pendant was what caught her eye. It was a soft shade of periwinkle with a heart theme to the circular shape of it. In the center of the pendant was a clear dome with a watch inside of it. The background of the watch displayed four different colors separated by black lines.

"Where did he pull that out from…?" Takeru asked slowly.

"Sugoi~! Kawaii!" Cyber awed.

"This, my dear mistress and young man, is a spectacular device. This is the great and the amazing Yokai Watch!" Whisper informed before putting it around Cyber's neck, "With it, you can see all kinds of Yokai."

"Ano...If I need this to see Yokai, then how come I can see you just fine, Whisper-san?" Cyber asked.

"Hmm...I do believe that when I was released, the pent-up energy that sealed me into it may have allowed you two to at least be able to always see me," Whisper theorized.

"So...I can't really see ghost?" Takeru asked quietly to himself as his face somehow became sadder and more confused at the same time.

"Of course you can!" Whisper informed, "So long as Cyber-chan uses the Yokai Watch and shines its light on a Yokai, they'll be revealed to those who know of the existence of Yokai! Meaning that any Yokai she reveals when you are near, you will be able to see them as well."

"Eh, really?!" Takeru asked as he grabbed Whisper, "You mean...I can finally see ghosts...like my Tousan could?"

"Cyber-chan, press the button on the side of it," Whisper informed.

"Button?" Cyber tilted her head before holding up the Yokai Watch and pushing a heart-shaped button on the side, causing the top to flip up, "Oh! The bubble came up!"

"Bubble? No, that is the lens for the Yokai Watch," Whisper informed as a soft blue light shined under the lens, "Now then, try looking around with it. I can feel something here, so it's most likely another Yokai."

Cyber just looked around pointing the light around the ground and the trees. After passing it over the trees a time or two, she spotted something. It looked human shaped in that it was as tall as her and Takeru. The shadowed figure turned to face them as they became fully revealed. Standing there was a black figure in gray gloves and boots, a grey rib cage design, and a golden belt with a cartoony eye. The Figure turned to stare at them, its blue eyes shining slightly. It growled/moaned slightly as it looked at Cyber.

"Omae…" the being spoke slowly. "You can see me?" it asked, a dark aura forming around it.

"What a strange Yokai. They never had one like this 500 years ago," Whisper noted.

"Ano...Hai," Cyber nodded, "Watashi wa Cyber. What's your name?"

"I have to inform Senpai-tachi someone from this temple can see us." the being said as it darted off at great speeds.

"Ah! Oh…" Cyber frowned a little, a hand going over her mouth.

"How rude!" Whisper huffed, "Have manners been lost over these last 500 years?"

"What was that?" Takeru asked, his heart feeling as if he'd felt a presence like that; the memories of his father's death racing back to his mind.

A Mailman riding on his bike hummed happily as he pedaled down the road. He could see his destination. The Daitenkuji Temple. A place he often delivered mail to. He has been on this route for over ten years, knowing both the last and current head of the temple personally. This man was Onodera, your regular run of the mill mailman. He pedaled to his happy tune before suddenly his bike just stopped.

Unseen to him, the monster with a spear held the handles, effortlessly stopping the bike. He laughed happily as he lifted the bike, Onodera included into the air. The Monster with its right hand as a sword walked up to him and raised it's bladed arm. It began to crackle with ethereal energy before it slashed effortlessly cutting the bike in two. Onodera landed on his rump as his bike fell in two pieces, four if you counted the now two pieces of bike chain.

"Ite…" he complained.

He shot up and grabbed his package before he ran towards the Temple in fear of whatever caused that.

"Heh...he ran." the spear headed monster complained, hefting a crescent spear over one shoulder.

"No matter, he goes to where we want him." the sword one stated before a third creature landed in front of them.

"Sempai...someone at the temple...they could see me." the third being stated bowing to the two.

"Hoh...really? Well, we may as well go and take care of them."

"They most likely have an Eyecon in their possession." the sword themed one replied. "Let us go take it from them."

With that, the two with weapons walked towards the temple while the third one left to a different area.

Takeru and Cyber where both walking away from the tree, Takeru leading Cyber back to his home the Temple. Whisper the whole time was explaining things to them...well random things. Actually, it came off as more like things he wanted to talk about that may have changed in the present.

"Yokai are real…" Takeru muttered to himself, having tuned Whisper out a while ago. 'Then Ghosts are surly real...Tousan…' he muttered as he gripped the handguard that hung like a necklace around his neck.

"Hm? Well, well, well…" Takeru stopped when Whisper was right in his face, "You seem to have something truly special on your neck as well, Takeru-kun. That wouldn't happen to be one of the handguards to one of Musashi's personal katana, hm?"

"Eh...you know about Musashi...wait you said you're really old right?" he asked, grabbing Whisper again. "Did you know Musashi?" he asked stars all but forming in his eyes.

"Takeru-dono!" a voice shouted loudly.

"Onari?" Takeru blinked, letting go of Whisper, as he watched Onari stumble down the path frantically, his robes covered in a few stray leaves.

"Ta….Takeru-dono…" he wheezed as he stopped, using his staff to keep himself from doubling over, "I have been searching all over for you...you strayed from your usual route, didn't you?"

"Ah it's not so much that…" Takeru said, waving his hand dismissively.

"K-Konnichiwa," Cyber greeted sheepishly.

"...She got near the sacred tree?"

"I was escorting her to the temple," Takeru informed, "She was just lost along the path is all. Nothing to worry about, Onari." he added before whispering to Cyber. "He'll freak if he finds out you got near that sacred tree...It's sacred ground. I'm saving us both a long lecture."

Cyber nodded before noticing Whisper was turning pure grey, "Whisper-san?"

"G-GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Whisper screamed as he zipped right into Cyber's backpack, "He's still alive! I am not an evil Yokai, you crazy priest! I told you it was the Yokai Nagabana that made your girlfriend leave you!"

"Eh?" Takeru quietly asked while Onari was still catching his breath, "What are you talking about...Onari's never had a girlfriend before."

"I...I think Onari-sama looks like the priest who sealed him away," Cyber whispered, "Mou, Whisper-san, don't squish any of the insects in there. They're really important."

"Well...Onari is kind of strict since he even shaves his head to fit his role as acting head priest." Takeru replied. "But...don't worry...he's harmless. He's just a little strict….well, a lot strict. But that's cause he's my caretaker." he vouched for Onari, who was taking very deep breaths to get his energy back.

"Ah, well...that is alright then, Takeru-dono. But anyway you must come back now, we have a problem. All of downtown is being plagued by Ghost attacks." Onari spoke quickly.

"Yokai attacking people?!" Whisper exclaimed from the backpack, "What is Lord Enma thinking?! Whatever happened to his philosophy of the bonds between humans and Yokai?!"

"What do you mean ghost are attacking, Onari?" Takeru asked in confusion as Onari motioned the two youths to follow him.

"It was on the news...cars being split in two, rides breaking and causing much harm. We must hurry and investigate, Takeru-dono." Onari explained.

"Ghost...hurting people?" Takeru asked in disbelief more from how it reminded him of that day.

"Yes. Much like the event that took away the life of your father." Onari stated a little too loudly.

"Takeru-kun's Father?" Whisper gasped, basically impossible for him not to have heard that.

"Eh?" Cyber blinked twice.

"Chotto, Onari...you're talking too loud." Takeru complained as they made it back to the temple. "You…" he began before they all heard someone shouting as Onodera ran in.

"Guys...help...something...something happened." he panted. "I was just riding along and then all of a sudden my bike split in two!"

"Onodera...calm down." Takeru said as he ignored Onari and ran up to the mailman.

"Daijobu?" Cyber asked as she ran over with Takeru.

"I...I just explained it, My bike it just split like...gwah!" he explained moving his arms apart to show two things coming apart.

"Calm down Onodera," Takeru stated calming the man down a little. "Take a breath,"

"Right…" he nodded taking a deep breath before he remembered something. "Ah right, this package was addressed to you, Takeru-kun." he explained while pulling out a large paper package wrapped in string.

"Me?" Takeru blinked, taking the package.

"Wait, you mean the bike just split in two?" Narita asked, having overheard while sweeping the ground.

"Huh?" Onodera blinked.

"Let's go check it out. Come on, Shibuya." Narita said as he helped Onodera up and began dragging him off to go see the bike.

"N-no way! It's dangerous!" Onodera cried.

"Who are they?" Cyber whispered to Takeru as she watched Narita and Shibuya in confusion.

"That's Narita and Shibuya. They're Onari's disciples." Takeru explained.

"Soka…" Cyber nodded, "...They seem silly for disciples. No offense."

"They are Onari's disciples…" Takeru added honestly.

"More...monks...This place is like a Yokai deathtrap…" Whisper shuddered, making Cyber's backpack do the same.

"Maa, maa, Whisper-san. Please stop that. You might cause one of the containers to fall out and hurt the mushi inside," Cyber advised under her breath.

"Mushi...AH! There are Mushi in here!" he freaked out, being face to face with one bug.

"Oi. Whisper, be quiet. Onari might not see you, but he might get suspicious." Takeru hissed as Onari was calling after Narita, who dragged Onodera and Shibuya off with him to see the bike.

"Would you be calm if you were stuck between a group of rather dangerous insects and stuck in a place of monks if you were a Yokai?!" Whisper demanded, poking his head out to glare at Takeru before noticing something, "Eh? Ano, Cyber-sama, it seems there are more of those strange Yokai coming this way."

"More Yokai...ah nevermind. I need to see what I got." Takeru said as he looked at the tag with the information on his package the name of the sender stuck out most. It read 'Tenkuji Ryu'. "It's from Tousan!" he shouted.

"Eh?!" Onari exclaimed.

"Ano...That's good, hai?" Cyber asked.

"But the old Head passed away ten years ago...how…?" Onari asked.

"It was sent ten years ago...to arrive today...on my 18th birthday." Takeru stated as he held the package up, "It's...a gift from my father for me…"

"An impressive man to have thought of something like this. He must have thought whatever is in there wouldn't be available in ten years, so he sent it like this to make sure you got it from him," Whisper noted.

"But what could it be…" Takeru asked before all of a sudden the package was split in two, the sudden event sending Takeru stumbling back to the ground.

"K-k-kamaitachi!?" Onari shouted, looking around.

"Ah! He does know about Yokai!" Whisper shouted, his voice sounding deeper due his shock.

"Oh! Ano...Do Kamaitachi look like they use spears or have a sword for a hand?" Cyber asked with a tilt of her head, shining her Yokai Watch at the Spear and Katana Ganma.

"Whisper...your Yokai friends are mean," Takeru complained before he saw what was in the package, "What's this?" he asked seeing a strange pure white rounded item, two buttons on the sides; It looked like it be plugged into something, "A ball?" Takeru touched it before orange electricity raced up his fingers, shocking him. "Ah.." he cried, letting it fall from his hand. "What the heck?" he asked before carefully picking it up again, "What the?"

In that moment, the Katana Ganma was now fully visible to Takeru.

"I can feel power," he stated, not knowing he was now visible.

"Ah!" Takeru shouted suddenly as he backed away from the Ganma. "What...what is that?!" he asked pointing at it.

"It was the one who cut your package in two," Cyber replied as she put her backpack on the ground.

"What a strange Yokai," Whisper noted.

"Heh...so both these brats can see us?" the Spear Ganma chuckled. "And we're not Yokai."

"Eh?! Not Yokai?" Whisper pondered before his eyes widened, "Gah! That means that…!" he zipped behind Cyber's back, "Cyber-chan, Takeru-kun, run away!"

"Wait, Takeru-Dono, you can see Ghosts?" Onarin asked, "How is it you may see them while I have been training longer?"

"EEEEEH?! He can't see Yokai?!" Whisper exclaimed in surprise, the pitch of his voice going up in surprise.

"This guy is annoying." the Spear Ganma said as he kicked Onari in the rear, sending him falling down, before turning to Cyber.

"Nani?" Cyber gulped.

"Hehehe...you're cute...too bad. I'm going to poke you full of holes." he stated as he raised his spear and stabbed it at her...only for Takeru to tackle her out of the spear's path, letting it hit a statue and break it to pebbles.

"I don't want green ears!" Cyber yelped.

"Nani?" Takeru and the Spear Ganma looked at her.

"...Don't ers turn green when you get holes in them?" Cyber asked, tilting her head.

"...She's an idiot...I'm going to kill you both!" he shouted as he swung his spear once more, Takeru pushing Cyber away from the swing.

Takeru then grabbed Onari's staff and swung it to block another swing from the Spear Ganma, making it lose its balance and stance.

"Run...Cyber-san, run!" he ordered as he hit the Spear Ganma across the face, "Come on." he challenged as he ran back towards the forest.

"You want a piece of this!" the Spear Ganma roared chasing him.

"This way! This way!" Whisper ordered, grunting as he pushed on Cyber's back to make her run off in the opposite direction.

"She never touched the Eyecon...and that Yokai..." the Katana Ganma noted before running after her and Whisper, "Meaning...She has something else...Be it an Eyecon or whatever...I'll take it." he said, becoming a blur of dark energy that chased after Cyber.

"My...back…" Onari groaned, unsure what just happened to him as the cicada Cyber had caught flew by.

"Ah." Takeru grunted as he blocked another swing from the Spear Ganma.

"You're going to regret messing with me brat! I'll fill you and the girl with holes and then see how much spunk you have then!" it roared, swinging as Takeru ducked under the wide swing.

The two then slammed the staffs of their chosen weapons to push against the other. Both then pushed each other back as the Spear Ganma stabbed his spear forward, the red staff of its weapon extending and piercing a tree, breaking it in two.

"Wah…" Takeru stated in shock.

"Don't take your eyes off of me!" the Ganma roared as it swung its now longer spear, the staff hitting Takeru and knocking him over.

"Gah!" Takeru groaned in pain, feeling the large bruise forming on his chest from the strike.

"We're not done yet...pretty boy." the Ganma chuckled twirling his spear around.

"Hmm...This woman...She's not a member of track." the Katana Ganma stated strolling down the path after a panting Cyber.

"You weren't good at track, were you?" Whisper asked.

"Gymnastics…" Cyber replied between pants.

"Well then, it's either gain super speed, or swing from tree to tree away from him," Whisper stated, seeing the Katana Ganma strolling after them, humming to himself.

"Hai-ugh!" Cyber groaned as she fell over from an uncovered root sticking out of the ground, "Ite…"

"Hm...how cliche," the Katana Ganma started, walking up to her. "Look, I don't care for senseless carnage like my brother… Give me the Eyecon or whatever it is you used to see us...and I will allow you to live another day."

'Ah! He wants the Yokai Watch!' Cyber thought as Whisper nearby was badly whistling, "Whisper-san…?"

"Ano...G-Gomen, Cyber-chan," Whisper apologized, "You can't remove it unless you have something of equal value as a replacement...or you die."

"Nani?!" Cyber's eyes widened.

"Last chance, little girl. Or I'll just search your corpse for it," the Katana Ganma exclaimed, raising his now glowing blade, "Hurry al...nani?" he looked at the cicada that was flying right in his face, "A little bug?"

"Oh! That...That's the cicada I just caught before meeting Whisper-san and Takeru-san!" Cyber gasped before a purple smoke engulfed the cicada and the Katana Ganma parried a small katana.

"Min~!" the blade's owner declared, revealed to be a creature that looked like a small humanoid cicada with four arms, a pair of geta on his feet, and a purple sash around his waist.

"Ah! That's the Yokai Semimaru!" Whisper exclaimed, "They're Yokai that are born when a cicada dies after seven days! After that, they can only stay awake for seven days at a time before falling asleep for a month!"

Yokai Semimaru

Class: Purichii-zoku

Rank: E

Element: Wind

"Eh?" Cyber blinked.

"Omae…" the Katana Ganma complained as he pushed the Yokai away from him, "You dare get in my way!"

"Of course, min~!" Semimaru declared, "Cyber-sama's bug catching skills are too pure to let wilt away, min~!" not turning away from the Ganma, he shouted to Whisper, "Hurry and get her away from here, min~!" his blade glowed as he charged at the Ganma, releasing a barrage of slashes, "Semi-Giri!"

"Hai~!" Whisper complied as he grabbed Cyber and lifted her up, his form now that of a tall man in butler's attire.

The Katana Ganma blocked the slashes with his bladed arm. He pushed one foot back before his own blade began glowing. He then pushed back and swung horizontally, sending a large slicing wave from the swing that cut down several trees, leaving pale electricity flowing from them.

"So be it...you shall all become nothing but rust on my blade." the Katana Ganma stated before clashing blades with Semimaru again.

"Bring it, min~!" Semimaru declared.

Both then began slashing their swords rapidly cutting down any tree's nearby. The Ganma blocked another slash before grabbing Semimaru's head. He then tossed the Yokai into the forest with a grunt. He began running after Cyber and Whisper, but he was tackled from behind by Semimaru.

"Not trying to use your blade on my back?"

"Even if you're trying to kill her, a swordsman does not strike another in the back with their blade, min~!" Semimaru replied.

"Heh...you're interesting bug." the Katana Ganma stated his blade glowing again. "My blade holds the memories of a great swordsmen. I shall be sure to use them to the fullest."

The two charged at each other once more.

"Gh…" Takeru groaned as he was pinned to a Tree by the blunt end of the Ganma's spear.

"Doshta? Out of steam already, pretty boy?" he asked as he moved his spear down before punching Takeru across the face, "Hora-hora doshta?" he asked as lifted him by the collar of his kimono/jacket. He then tossed him further into the woods with great force. "Enjoy the scenery!"

Takeru landed hard on the forest ground, stumbling over leaves, grass, dirt, and twigs. He kept rolling before going over a small hill, landing on a dirt path with a thin small creek along its side. Takeru landed in the moist ground with a groan of pain.

"Gah…" he groaned in pain.

"Heh...Hand over the Eyecon. We need it to obtain our ambitions," the Spear Ganma stated as he was crouched down, hopping along the ground, to get a better look at the pain-wracked Takeru. "Ah...here are the rest." he said turning to see Whisper and Cyber running down the same path. "Stop!" he shouted jumping in front of them still in his crouched position. "You can not pass!" he laughed.

"Whisper...Cyber-san." Takeru groaned as he turned his head to see them.

"Ah! Takeru-san!" Cyber gasped.

"You got other things to worry about." the Spear Yokai declared, standing in front of her. "He's got spirit, but he's not much in terms of power."

"Why you…" Whisper growled, fist shaking at the Spear Ganma, "How rude! Didn't anyone ever teach you any polite manners?! Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself about this."

"I don…"

"Don't interrupt when I am scolding!" Whisper informed, making sure the Spear Ganma was distracted by him, "What kind of example are you giving to others who want to become Spear ones like yourself?!"

"Eh?"

"Always attacking first and asking questions later! Not once really using that thing properly!" Whisper continued to distract as Cyber managed to get over to Takeru, "I've seen people use the art of the spear with grace and elegance and thoroughly beat reckless fools like yourself!"

"You two may have gotten along if you were the same kind." The Katana Ganma said as he appeared behind Whisper before hoisting him up and tossing him over Cyber and Takeru.

"Gah!" Whisper cried out as he crashed-landed into the ground before them, digging right into it up to where his tail began.

"Oi Aniki...what do we do with these kids already?" the Spear Ganma asked his sword-armed brother.

"I will ask you once more...give us the Eyecon." the Katana Ganma plainly demanded as Whisper dug himself out.

Takeru held the object it was referring to.

"No…" he shook his head as he gripped it tightly and held it to his chest. "This was a gift from my Tousan...I'm not sure why he sent this to me...but I'll never let you have it!"

"Foolish boy." the Katana Ganma sighed raising his blade up again. Takeru stood up as best he could as the Ganma took small steps closer.

"I…" Takeru started as he looked towards the Ganma. "I believe...if I can see them...I can fight them," he stated as best he could, despite being tired; the Katana Ganma just scoffed at his words.

"Heh...I'll cut all of you down now." the Katana Ganma said as he raised his blade up, ready to cut all of them.

Takeru saw this and turned back to look at Cyber and Whisper, the former helping the latter get the dirt off him. The Katana Ganma then began swinging his sword down. Takeru moved forward and held his hands out just as the swing of the Katana came down. A flash came from the blade as it now pointed to the ground.

Takeru's necklace flew off, its string cut. A large gash in his clothes revealed his chest beneath, his white shirt below slowly staining red. Takeru slowly fell to his knees before he plopped down on the dirt.

"Uso…" Takeru groaned as blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.

"Takeru-san!" Cyber called out.

"Ah! Takeru-kun!" Whisper exclaimed in shock.

Takeru heard their screams, but he couldn't say anything. He felt all the air leave his chest, not able to speak. All he could do was turn his head. The first thing he could see was the handguard from Musashi's sword. His hand slowly reached out to grab the item. His fingers curling around the metal hand guard.

A memory came back to Takeru.

The first time he ever gripped this crossguard in his hands. The day his father died, the last thing he ever directly gave to his son.

"Takeru...study the souls of the luminary heroes…" Ryu's weak voice said as the guard was tightly held in 8 year old Takeru's hands. "Open...the eye of your soul." he said weakly, trying his best to tell everything he wanted to his son in the little time he had left.

"Uhn…" the young boy nodded, sobbing as tears fell from his eyes. "I promise!" he stated over his tears, to tell his father no matter what he would do this for him.

Ryu took one last look to his son before his eyes slowly closed his head resting against the rock, his mind at rest.

'I have to keep my promise…!' Takeru shouted in his mind. He brought the guard closer to his face with the little strength he has left. 'I can't die yet. I don't want to die…' he said to himself.

But his body could not comply with that. His eyes closed as his grip failed, letting go of the crossguard. His head rested against the ground...while everything began going to black to Takeru. The device known as an Eyecon began to glow from inside his jacket.

Water. That was the first thing to come to mind to Takeru. Wait how could something even come to his mind right now? But he decided to save something stupid like questions for later. Takeru had awaken underwater. Takeru pushed himself up towards the light that filtered through the water's surface.

He broke the surface of the water taking a large breath of air. He could hear a waterfall, the cascades of water falling down just behind him keeping him sufficiently drenched even after being fully immersed in water. He looked around, this waterfall, this pond, the trees and flowers around him. None of them looked or even felt familiar, he had no idea where he was.

"Where am I?" he asked as he began walking through the water getting closer to the dry land. He then stopped when he heard voices. Takeru looked up, to see...a hole in the sky showing him the scene from above as the two Ganma just watched as Cyber and Whisper surrounded...Takeru? "Cyber...Whisper…" he spoke, seeing the images play out. "Oi...I'm right here!" he shouted to the image as the Spear Ganma took a step forward cackling happily. "Here! OI!" he shouted, not getting a reaction. But soon the portal...hole...whatever it was began to close.

As it did, Takeru felt like all hope had faded away along with the hole. The thoughts and truth sinking in. Takeru was...dead. He slowly fell to his knees in despair letting this sink in.

"Am I...really dead?" he asked quietly to himself. A golden light soon began to shine from the waterfall's cliff.

"Do you want to return to life?" a voice suddenly shouted from the cliff.

Takeru turned towards the voice. Standing st the cliff was an elderly man dressed in grand looking robes of overlapping red and gold color, a headband keeping his white hair down.

"Who are you?" Takeru asked.

"Me?" the man asked as he suddenly appeared on a rock just in front of Takeru, a cane keeping him balanced. "I am everyone...and no one." he explained cryptically.

"Kami-sama?" Takeru asked.

"Nah, nothing that great." the man waved off with his cane. He then slowly stepped off the rock and made his way to Takeru who was standing up once again.

"Whatever you are, Occhan...will you return me to life?" Takeru asked as he closed the distance a little more.

"Occhan? That's not going to work for me. At least call me Sennin!" he stated dramatically.

"Please…" Takeru started as he reached out to Sennin.

Sennin shouted something in a strange language as a golden flash sent Takeru flipping through the air and landing on the rocky ground near the pond.

"Bakamono ga." Sennin spoke as Takeru groaned in pain from the sudden force.

"Yeah...ore wa O-Baka da." Takeru admitted, still laying on the ground. "What was believing in myself all about?" he asked as he rolled over to his side to relax a bit in his position. "Even though I've slacked off in my training...even though I finally saw ghosts and Yokai...even though I have to save Cyber...Whisper...Onari…!" he stated, letting it sink in how badly he has let those who counted on him down.

A golden orange flash then came from the ground as the white eyecon fell to the ground. It changed, the back, top, and bottom as well as the two buttons turning into a pitch black. Along the top, it was now all orange with two black ovals acting as 'eyes.' It had a large 'G' at the top of the rectangular stripe, and read GHOST along the bottom in white letters.

"Tenkuji Takeru," Sennin stated as he saw this, "You have been burdened with the fate of fighting the Ganma." Sennin stated as he began walking closer to Takeru.

"Eh?"

"Listen well to what I'm about to tell you." Sennin stated not going to explain this twice. "That Eyeball you have is called an Eyecon."

"Eyecon?" Takeru repeated holding the eyecon up in confusion.

"Inside of that eyecon now dwells your soul." Sennin continued plainly.

"I'm in here?"

"Indeed. Give it to me for a second?" he asked as Takeru handed the Eyecon to Sennin, "Around the world there are many eyecons with the souls heroes, luminaries, legends, and the such within. In other words an Eyecon...is the soul of a hero!" he stated loudly at the end, "If you can gather fifteen Legendary Eyecons, then with their power you can do anything." he said as he pointed to Takeru. "Even come back to life."

"Eh, really!?" Takeru asked as he shot up.

"Yes, but it won't be easy. There are many Ganma after the Eyecons as well. And even some Yokai may take an interest in their power." Sennin explained. "So it will be a long and difficult road for you."

"Eh?" Takeru blinked as he remembered the moment he died. "But...I tried to fight them...and I lost. Muri-dayo." he dejectedly explained.

Sennin turned around with a smile, "You can fight them if you become Kamen Rider Ghost!"

"Eh...Ghost?"

"Will you?" Sennin asked, holding out Takeru's Eyecon.

"I don't really understand." Takeru said taking the eyecon back. "But if I do...I can fight them, right?" he asked, getting a nod of approval from Sennin. "If so...I will!" he nodded.

Sennin shouted something again before an orange flash formed around Takeru's waist. It then solidified into an orange belt with a large buckle at the front. The Buckle was incredibly large and it was meant to resemble a sheet ghost...with one eye and a visible skeletal mouth of metal beneath the plastic sheet. To the left was a rectangular section of metal, and to the right was a hand lever/plunger that had an orange grip and was all black along the rest. From the top, a hold could be seen, the inside of the buckle was also empty.

"Ah...what is this?" Takeru asked.

Unknown to him, an orange flash occurred again as a small little ghost formed in the air besides him. Its body was all orange with two stubby little arms. It had a white eyeball-like head with a little fanged mouth just below the eye and an orange spike above it's eye. A white cape formed around its back. This was Yurusen.

"He sure asks a lot of stupid questions." Yurusen scoffed in a female voice.

"Who are you?" Takeru asked.

"Hi~" Yurusen simply stated.

"That's Yurusen." Sennin spoke. "She will be your guide and tell you the rest." he explained simply.

"Listen carefully now." Yurusen laughed.

Sennin shouted another spell as he blasted Takeru with another golden burst that knocked him into the water.

Back in the real world, the sky began to change. The clouds moved and grew. Until the sky was darkened till it felt as if it were now the middle of a moonless night. A golden light then fell over Takeru's body, golden particles slowly making his body disappear. The particles however soon reformed into Takeru once again. A Golden aura around his body, and his body also seeming transparent. His clothes were intact again as the strange belt was fastened to his waist.

The Ganma and Whisper could see Takeru as he stood there, however Cyber could no longer see Takeru.

"T-Takeru-san?" Cyber looked around, "Where did...Takeru-san!"

"Cyber-san...Cyber-san I'm right here...Whisper tell her." Takeru stated.

"So he's back…" the Katana Ganma stated, seeing Takeru.

"Cyber-chan, you may want to shine the Yokai Watch right here," Whisper informed, using the swirl on top of his head to point at Takeru.

"How are you doing that?" Takeru asked as Cyber shined the Yokai Watch on him.

"Oh! Takeru-san!" Cyber beamed as she hugged him, "You're okay!"

"Now you can see me?" Takeru blinked.

"Masaka...when Takeru-kun was...struck down...he was revived...as a ghost?" Whisper stated in shock.

"Exactly!" Yurusen yelled in Whisper's ear.

"GAAAAAAAH!" Whisper freaked as he spun around the the snickering Yurusen, "Oi! What was that for?!"

"Because you're distracting the idiot from the best part," she explained, making Whisper gawk at her, "Takeru, press the button on the Eyecon and insert it into the Ghost Driver!"

"Huh…?" he blinked, taking out the Eyecon, as Cyber used the Yokai Watch on Yurusen to see her.

He grabbed his necklace and stuffed it in his pocket first. He then pressed the button and the eye 'blinked' changing to a G symbol. Takeru then pressed the top of the Ghost Driver making it open up as a standby tune began to play. He plugged it in before closing it.

=EYE~!=

The belt shouted as a orange flash came from the eye in the center. Something then flew out of the Ghost Driver. It was...a hoodie? It was pitch black with orange trim, the front had a collar that was folded out with orange coloring inside. It had two straps acting like arms for the short sleeves, it had burning orange eyes in it's hood as a spike stuck out of where a neck would be, around the bottom of the hoodie it also has a whispy ghost tail. The Hoodie began to...dance?

=Bacchiri Minaa~ Bacchiri Minaa~!=

The Ghost Driver kept chanting those same words repeatedly.

"Now pull the trigger in then out and Henshin!" Yurusen shouted the final order.

"Eh? Like this?" Takeru asked as he pulled the trigger out, making the 'eye' close, before pushing it in.

=KAIGAN! ORE!=

The Eye opened to reveal the G had changed to a face that was all orange with two black eyes, the symbol growing out of the eye as a light once this was done. Lights then formed around Takeru. They resembled a skeleton with a large blue eye with a wisp above it forming in the center of his chest.

"Oh~!" Cyber awed as Whisper gawked.

Sparkling light formed around him before it compressed into a suit with armor now covering Takeru. He wore a pitch black suit, with clear armor covering his chest and shoulders. His arms and legs clad in black armor along with shackle like bracelets and anklets around those spots. Bright orange bone like patterns glowing on his suit, he even had large metal knee pads as well. In the center of the armor was a blue eye symbol with the same wisp above it his hands clad in armor resembling the bones of a human hand the inside of his palms even padded. Takeru's head now clad in a helmet that was all black but with a silver dome-like screen/visor over his face.

"Oi! What are you doing?" The Ganma demanded.

"I don't know either." Takeru replied as the floating hoodie began flying around him. It tackled the Ganma knocking them over before going to Takeru. "Ah!" Takeru freaked as it flew at him. "Whoa, whoa." he said as he evaded it a few times. "Stay away! Back!" he called as he turned to avoid the hoodie only for Takeru to trip before the hoodie swung it's makeshift arms back and jumped on his back.

As it did the two arms folded in under two loops on each short sleeve, fitting into place. Metal straps forming under the collar of his hoodie that became rigid and metal like silver studs at the ends. The new straps keeping the hoodie in place. The spike folding up with a mask. An Orange mask forming on the helmet, glowing with bright light cells, large black eyes on the mask, the spike now a wispy horn above his helmet. Blue alone the sides and a red square along the front of it. The horn was also bladed as the orange parts of the armor all began to flash.

The clouds above them suddenly dispersed as light shone down on Takeru in his new form...Ghost.

=LET'S GO! KAKUGO! GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST! GO! GO! GO! GO!=

Ghost stood back up as he grabbed his hood and pushed it back, revealing his black helmet as silver streaks of metal keeping his still glowing orange mask in place. All in all, the way it looked...It looked like a hero.

Ghost looked at his armored hands in confusion. He moves his hands down his clear chest armor. His body feeling...more powerful. As if he were stronger than before. This suit and armor feeling as if it were his own skin.

"Watch and be shocked." Yurusen exclaimed flying around Ghost. "The hero back from the dead, Kamen Rider Ghost!"

"Sugoi…" Ghost said as he looked over his armor. "I can see myself in my own armor...cool mask." he said raising a hand to his orange face mask. "I can see and even hear things better to…" he added. "I can even hear Cyber-san's heart beat...it's like I have super powers." he stated looking at his arms.

"Is this what Takeru-san's father meant for him to gain?" Cyber awed as Whisper tried to correct his dropped jaw, only for it to keep on dropping.

"Yes and no, this is because Takeru has a strong soul and connected to that Eyecon." Yurusen stated, poofing in front of Cyber. "Now he's more than strong enough to fight them!" she pointed at the Ganma who were also getting their wits back.

"Oh right." Ghost nodded as he turned to face the Ganma. "I'll make you regret killing me just then!" he stated, trying to be serious.

"You're already dead, so don't worry 'bout gettin' killed," Yurusen advised Ghost, "So go for it!"

"I see...That makes sense," Ghost nodded.

"Eh?! Takeru-san is a Yokai now?" Cyber asked, "How does that work, Whisper-san?"

"Iie-iie-iie," Whisper shook a finger at Cyber, "Not a Yokai. Apparently he's just a regular ghost...er...well, a ghost in armor."

"Oi! Don't you two listen?" Yurusen asked, appearing in front of them, as Ghost turned to the two Ganma, "Fine, I'll explain it to you. That boy is Kamen Rider Ghost now. His soul has been turned into armor, keeping his mind alive as a ghost. He is able to channel great power. As long as his will remains strong, his power may grow and grow." she explained. "In your Yokai terms, he can go from a low Rank, a human, to a high Rank!"

"...Are you Whisper's nee-chan?" Cyber asked, causing both Whisper and Yurusen to facefault.

"You beefed up a bit," the Spear Ganma chuckled.

Ghost held his hand to his Ghost Driver as a circle with letters formed, an ethereal light coming from it. A weapon then shot from the circle, revealed to be a long and wide broadsword. It was all black, with an orange and teal handle. It had an eye symbol in the center of it's circular cross section, resembling a pivot point. The center of the sword was all black with two separate blade along both sides. It also had four tubes connecting the cross section to the blade making look like a candelabra. The bottom had a squared section that looks like something was plugged in, and towards the top center of the blade was another section where it looked like something was connected. Ghost grabbed the weapon and held it up.

"This time…" he stated raising his new weapon up. "I'm gonna honestly believe in myself!" he stated, the feat of summoning a sword shocking all but Yurusen.

The Spear Ganma charged first, stabbing its spear forward. Ghost blocked it to the side with his sword before he charged at the Katana Ganma. Both raised their blades and clashed. Ghost pushed the Katana Ganma back a step before the Katana Ganma grabbed Ghost's sword and dragged him along as they jumped into the trees of the forest.

"Quickly, fools, we must follow!" Yurusen ordered as she began pushing Cyber.

"Eh? EH?!" Cyber exclaimed, "Mou...Whisper-san, your nee-chan is strange."

"We're not related!-!" both of them shouted.

Ghost was being pushed back across the dirt, using his wide broadsword as a makeshift shield to block the Spear Ganma's stab. He pushed the blade aside before slamming the flat side of the blade across the Ganma's face, making it comically cry in pain from the slap. Ghost then charged and swung at the Katana Ganma who blocked with its weapon. Both took a step back as Ghost swung from the left while the Ganma from the right both blades clashing as sparks flew from the impact. The Sword Ganma then grabbed Ghost's Hood and used it as leverage to swing Ghost around and off to the side.

Ghost tumbled across the ground before getting back to his feet. He then rolled to the right dodging a swing from the Spear Ganma. Ghost then swung his sword deflecting another stab from the mad Spear using monster. The Spear Ganma groaned and swung low as Ghost jumped up into the air, his body glowing orange for a second. And Gravity did not strike as Ghost floated their 6 feet up in the air.

"Whoa…" Ghost awed as he floated around, flying back from another stab from the Spear Ganma and then forward, "I'm floating!" he shouted in shock, his voice cracking just a bit from the surprise.

Ghost floated around the Ganma before he flew near the Katana Ganma and slammed his metal knee pad into his face knocking him back a step. Ghost then floated back around towards the Spear Ganma. As the monster stabbed at him the Kamen Rider swung his spear deflecting it before he sung his leg and kicked the Ganma across the face making it stumble back as well.

"Heh...this is fun! Over here~" Ghost called floating around the Ganma, as he did he swung his sword slashing the Spear Ganma across the chest making black blood fly from the wound. Ghost then flew back over to the Katana Ganma as he used his sword to deflect a swing, before kicking the Ganma in the chest sending Ghost flying backwards through the air. "This is really useful." Ghost laughed in excitement.

At that moment the others all found the three fighters as Ghost floated around in the sky happily.

"Ah! He's floating now!" Whisper shouted, seeing that.

"Get back here!" the Spear Ganma demanded, his spear extending with his next strike only for Ghost to hover over it.

"Haha! This is fun!" Ghost laughed, still floating in the air.

"Oi! Don't let yourself get distracted." Yurusen spoke.

The Katana Ganma rushed and slashed his sword hitting Ghost's chest making sparks fly off his armor sending him flying through the air before slamming into a tree grunting in pain from the two attacks.

"Gah!" Ghost cried dropping his sword and falling to the ground. "What gives?! I thought you said I couldn't die…" Ghost asked as he pushed himself back up, feeling a deep searing pain where he was struck before.

Yurusen floated up to him upside down, her little fanged mouth widening into a large grin, "But if you get hit, it will hurt as much as dying." Yurusen giggled, twirling around in the air.

"Eh? Say things like that sooner!" Ghost barked, swatting Yurusen away.

"Takeru-san, daijobu?" Cyber called before squeaking and ducking behind a tree before the Spear Ganma's extendable weapon aimed at where she had been, hitting Whisper in-between his eyes.

"Gah!" Whisper shouted as he was brought back with the blade of the spear, "Ah! Tatsukete! I'm stuck~!"

"Ah gross! Something's stuck to my spear." the Spear Ganma complained.

"EHHHH?! I am not 'something,' you crazy spear guy!" Whisper snapped, comically trying to punch the Spear Ganma despite the small distance between them caused by the Ganma's weapon.

"Whisper!" Ghost shouted as he jumped and floated over to the Spear Ganma and grabbed its spear. "Let him go!" he ordered before he punched the Ganma across the face to let Ghost now hold his weapon, "Whisper, are you...uh okay?" he asked as he pulled him off the bladed tip.

"I'm okay. I am a Yokai after all," Whisper informed as the hole in his head sealed up, "We can't die like you humans can since we're already spirits of sorts." he bowed, "Arigatou, Ghost-kun."

"Ah...Soka...like me...well now, that is." Ghost stated before the Spear Ganma slammed his bladed head into Ghost's chest, making sparks fly from the impact again, "Gah!" he cried as the Ganma got its weapon back again.

"That's using your head," Cyber and Yurusen noted, the former biting her thumb in worry.

"Now is not the time for dry wit!" Whisper complained as Ghost dodged a swing from the Spear Ganma.

"Whoa!" Ghost yelped, ducking another swing only for the Ganma to stab its spear forward and lancing Ghost's chest armor again, making more sparks fly. "Gah!" he cried as he was sent stumbling back. "Ah...this armor is very useless...I feel every blow." he complained.

"The Quantum Solid armor is only as strong as the Eyecon you're using." Yurusen explained.

"...I'm not sure if that's a jab on me personally or just helpful information," Ghost noted.

"Yosha!" the Spear Ganma shouted as he swung as Ghost used the metal bracelet on his right arm to block the weapon through the curve between the crescent and forward blade.

Ghost dug his feet, stopping its charge.

"Is there a way he can finish this?" Whisper asked, floating beside Yurusen, "I don't think he can handle it much longer."

"Pull and push the trigger again and use an Omega Drive!" Yurusen shouted as Ghost knocked the weapon away before delivering a left jab to the Ganma's face.

"Right!" he nodded as he kicked the Ganma in the chest with all his force.

He used that force to leap and float back across the ground. He then grabbed the Lever as the Spear Ganma got back to its feet, growling in anger. Ghost then pulled the Trigger out and moved his hand back up into the air, his index and middle finger pointing up while the rest of his fingers were closed together. He then slowly brought his arm down with his palm now facing towards him, taking a very deep breath as he did.

"Ghost dakedo…" he stated as he put both his hands together, his thumbs and index fingers pressing against each other, the rest of his fingers curled and interlocked with one another.

His index fingers formed a triangle/pyramid shape, a large orange triangle of energy forming from his hands as he did. It then turned into the eye symbol on his chest the same burning orange for a moment. A large burst of orange flames then formed around Ghost, as if an aura of energy exploded off of him. Strangely, these orange flames seemed calming to everyone...well everyone but the Ganma that is.

"Ah~I am leaving now~" Whisper called as he started floating towards a light.

"Ah! Whisper-san?!" Cyber exclaimed, quickly grabbing Whisper's tail and pulling him back down.

"Gah! I almost passed over from those flames!" Whisper freaked.

"Your will's quite weak," Yurusen giggled.

"URUSEI!" Whisper snapped, shaking a fist at the tiny one-eyed ghost.

The flames then reformed into a large symbol behind Ghost. The symbol almost looked like it was sun shaped, with several wisp-like shapes forming from along the sides, two large arrows pointing to the left and right. In the very center was the same eye symbol. The large crest began glowing brightly, like a real sun and almost caused Whisper to try to pass on once more had Cyber not kept a hand on his tail.

"Inochi…" Ghost said as he looked up his mask glowing again. "Moyasu ze!" he shouted as he pushed the lever back in. The eye blinking again to reveal a symbol of a boot covered in energy.

=DAIKAIGAN! ORE OMEGA DRIVE!=

With that all the light and energy from the crest flowed into Ghost's right leg, the entire limb from the knee down covered in the orange flame like energy. Ghost then floated up into the air just as the Spear Ganma charged at him again.

"HA!" Ghost shouted as he shot forward the orange flames growing from his leg as he aimed a flying side kick at the Ganma.

Ghost's kick struck the Ganma in the chest with a large pulse of energy. Its coat flying off as if it was its own ghost, leaving the Ganma in its primal blank body. As Ghost's kick connected and stayed there, the orange flames grew as the Ganma cried in pain, black blood spewing from the impact. After not too long, both the Ganma and its coat exploded violently. As the explosions subsided, a spear and the eye-like device that became the Ganma fell to the ground. The eye exploded into black smoke soon after leaving only the spear behind. Ghost landed on his feet as he turned to the spear that was left behind.

"I did it…" Ghost said before he quickly reached for the Ghost Driver and pulled out his Eyecon, closing the Ghost Driver, "I did it! I really did it!" he cheered raising his arms into the air as his armor slowly faded away leaving Takeru once more.

=Oyasumi…=

The belt called out in a sleepy tone as it shut down its power as well.

"Whoo!" Takeru shouted waving his arms through the air. The accomplishment of fighting a ghost like his father overwhelming him.

"Ano...Takeru-san?" Cyber tapped his shoulder.

"Hm?" Takeru looked at her and Whisper.

"You're not done yet," Whisper pointed at the Sword Ganma nearby.

"Not bad." he said walking past a few trees. "My idiot brother charged in and got himself killed. But you're fairly strong." he noted as he stopped and looked towards the road, "Follow me!" he ordered as black energy formed around him before he turned into a mass of some kind of dark energy that made its way towards and down the road.

"Ahhh! He's getting away!" Whisper shouted.

"If he runs away...more people will get hurt, hai?" Cyber asked, biting her thumb once more in worry.

"Oh big time, these Ganma enjoy killing humans like sport." Yurusen stated bluntly making Cyber turn pale, "To them, humans are just bugs they step on for fun in this world, Yokai are probably no different."

Whisper slapped her into the distance with a paper folding fan, "Incorrect! While it is true that there are Yokai that think like that, many more see them as friends or as an opportunity to find a friend. In fact, the lord of all Yokai, Lord Enma, has made it his goal in life to try to create bridges between Yokai and Humans becoming friends!"

"Even still, Whisper-san, right now we need to worry about that Ganma." Takeru stated as he began walking towards the road. "I need to go after him, for now it seems he at least wants to fight me."

"But that won't stop him from doing some collateral damage." Yurusen added, floating back to join them while glaring at Whisper.

"But how do I go after him…? I can't exactly fly…" Takeru pointed out as he noticed his ability to float wasn't able to move as fast as, say, the power of flight.

"...Could we use that?" Cyber asked, pointing at a nearby red and white-colored motocross bike; a Honda CRF250L model, to be exact.

"What the…?! Who would leave a motorcycle here?!" Whisper demanded.

"Well...he wouldn't be much of a Kamen Rider if he doesn't have something to Ride." Yurusen stated sarcastically while pointing to Takeru, "Henshin once again and infuse the bike with your power."

"Eh...you mean that bike is for me?" Takeru asked, just to be sure.

"Would you rather float or run after the Ganma?" Yurusen countered.

"..." Takeru quickly got onto the motorcycle. He then pulled his eyecon out and pressed the button switching it to the G symbol again. He then opened up the Ghost Driver. "Henshin." he stated putting the eyecon in and closing the Driver again.

=EYE!=

The Hoodie flew out once again as the standby tune began. The Hoodie began dancing to its beat, earning a giggle from Cyber.

=Bacchiri minaa~! Bacchiri minaa~!=

He then pulled than pushed the lever making it blink again. The orange bone lines formed before the blank armor reformed on Takeru.

=KAIGAN! ORE! LET'S GO! KAKUGO! GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST! GO! GO! GO! GO!=

The Hoode put itself on Ghost as it formed his full suit again as his orange mask locked into place glowing brightly for a moment, only this time a burst of orange fire covered his bike, making it change dramatically. It was still a motocross bike, but it was now gunmetal black with an orange seat. Its headlight extended out and formed into a skeletal horse head with burning green eyes and a horn like Ghost's on the tip of its head. The tail of the bike now resembled the tail of a horse to an extent, only with long spines along the back.

"Look! The Machine Ghostriker!" Yurusen stated as the Bike revved its own engine before raising up on its rear wheel and giving off a sound like a horse's cry. "It's alive! ALIVE!"

"Whoa!" Ghost complained as the Bike began moving around in circles, its engine roaring loudly, "This thing really is alive!" Ghost shouted as the Bike ran towards a tree before lifting up on its rear wheel and then driving up the tree before doing a backflip and landing back on the road.

"Of course. Its possessed by the spirit of a horse." Yurusen explained as the bike seemed to try and buck Ghost off.

"Ah! Easy now," Cyber softly spoke as the bike started to settle down as she carefully approached, "Easy now, Ghostriker-san. Easy." she began to gently rub the top of its 'head,' "There, there. Settle down now."

"How did you do that?" Yurusen demanded.

"My Tou-chan and I took horse-riding lessons when I did well in my last year of elementary school," Cyber explained, still petting the Ghostriker, "Ghostriker-san was just startled from becoming Ghostriker, is all."

"Sugoi." Ghost stated.

"You can small talk later!" Yurusen shouted. "Hi-ho, Ghostriker!" she shouted, slapping the tail of the bike making it roar.

"Whoa!" Ghost cried, his arm flailing around and grabbing Cyber's in a second. The bike then took off down the road; Ghost swung Cyber around so she sat behind him for safety. "Gomen, Cyber-san!" he shouted, the bike lifting on its back wheel again while giving another horse like cry.

"Mou, Yurusen-chan, why did you do that? Now Ghostriker-san is freaked out again!" Cyber yelped, holding tight to Ghost.

"We have a Ganma to fight, no time for you to impress the hero." Yurusen stated, floating besides them. "You can be charming after we beat the last one." she teased, her fanged mouth turning into a teasing grin.

"N-Nani?! Iie-iie-iie! I-I just thought it was needed to calm Ghostriker-san down, is all!" Cyber blushed.

"Whoa!" Ghost shouted as the bike jumped a branch in the road. "Calm down Ghostriker…" Ghost said as his horn began to glow along with the Ghostriker's own horn. "Eh?" he blinked as the bike's movements became more calm and controlled. "Me and the bike...are linked?" he stated in realization. "Yosh...ike Machine Ghostriker!" Ghost stated as the bike moved faster on his order leaving Yurusen behind.

"Matte!" she shouted trying to catch up.

"Bye-bye, whis~!" Whisper waved on the motorcycle before a bump in the road caused him to shoot off and collide with Yurusen, knocking them both to the ground, "Gah!"

The Katana Ganma was standing on a boot in the center of the Marina. He looked out to the road hearing the roar of an engine as the Machine Ghostriker broke through a fence with the horn mounted on its head. The Katana Ganma raised its sword as it began to glow. He then slashed it, sending out another sword beam. Ghost ducked the bike to the side, letting the blast hit the ground and cause an explosion.

"That's not fair...he's a sword monster...swords don't shoot," Ghost complained, ducking another sword beam.

"Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my…" Cyber whimpered quickly, keeping her face buried into Ghost's back.

"I need a long range weapon…" Ghost said as he avoided yet another blast and then jumped a second beam as the bike landed on the ground.

"Your sword looked like it could act as one," Whisper offered, managing to fly alongside the bike...until the Ganma's latest slash cut him in two, "AGAIN?!"

"He's not wrong, the Gan Gun Saber can turned into different weapons by rearranging it." Yurusen informed, appearing in a poof of orange smoke, "Just take the back part of the sword remove, flip, insert, and fold for Gun Mode!"

"Soka!" Ghost nodded as he avoided another explosion.

He summoned his sword the Gan Gun Saber as he let go of the handles the bike movie by itself for Ghost. He grabbed the back blade and pulled it up and flipped it around before inserting it back in. As he did, the weapon folded on the circular symbol, becoming a gun with a blade along the top and bottom.

"Yosha!" Ghost called as he grabbed the handle with his left hand and aimed with his right while he drove around the boat the Sword Ganma stood on.

He then pulled the trigger that had always been on his sword and unleashed a burning orange energy bullet from his gun. The energy bullet flew like a slug from a rail gun through the air. The bullet hit the Ganma with a small explosion that knocked it flying off the boat. The Katana Ganma groaned and jumped to another boat while firing another sword beam. Ghost countered by shooting it mid air, causing another explosion.

"Phew!" Whisper sighed in relief nearby as he floated up in one piece, "Finally put myself back to…" a stray shot from Ghost shot him between the eyes before a stray slash from the Ganma bisected him down the middle, "WHAT THE HELL?!"

"Sorry!" Ghost called out as he kept shooting sword beams out of the air, riding down the rows of boats as the Ganma jumped from boat sail to boat sail.

Orange bullets and Sword beams flying back and forth. Ghost then turned the handles of the bike to the right before kicking his leg to the ground. The bike now skidding/drifting down the road. Ghost held his gun in his left hand as he aimed up just as the Ganma landed on another sail of a boat. Ghost took a quick breath before he fired an orange bullet at the Ganma's leg that knocked it off it's balance. As the Ganma fell Ghost pulled the trigger rapidly unleashing a rapid machine gun burst of bullets that all hit the Katana Ganma mid-air causing multiple explosions.

The Katana Ganma landed on the ground smoking as Ghost pulled the Machine Ghostriker to a stop a good distance away from the Ganma as it stumbled back to it's feet. Ghost revved the handles as the bike roared, it's tire peeling across the ground before it shot forward towards the Ganma. The Machine Ghostriker cried out like a horse as it slammed its horn into the Ganma's chest as it's black blood shot from the impact making it fly back through the air.

"Got him." Ghost said pulling the bike to a stop. "Cyber-san, are you okay?"

"Auuuuuu~" Cyber moaned, swirls replacing her eyes, "Dizzy~"

"Gomen…" Ghost said as he dismounted the bike. "I'm really...really sorry!" he bowed his head in apology.

"Here I come!" Whisper called as he zipped over with a medical kit, "Let's see now…" he looked through it, "Ah! Nausea pills." he handed two of them to Cyber to quickly take, "Found it in one of the boats."

"Isn't that stealing?" Yurusen asked.

"I left a few yen that I had before I was sealed 500 years ago in its place," Whisper replied, none of them aware that, hours later, the owner of the boat that he had taken the kit from would make it rich from the 500-year-old yen she found in its place.

"Sounds fair," Ghost noted as he helped Cyber get off the bike. "Minna you stay here, I'll go finish off the Ganma."

"Good luck!" Whisper gave a thumbs up while using a towel from the kit to make a breeze for Cyber.

Ghost then ran towards the beach where the Sword Ganma was tossed. He proceeded to jump and floated the distance to land on the sand as the Ganma stood back up. Ghost spread his arms into a fighting pose as the Ganma glared at him, his six eyes all flashing from anger.

"These will be your opponents," he stated while holding his hand up, revealing it to be full of those eyes that made up his and his brother Ganma's body, before he tossed them all up.

In a flash, all those eyes shattered. an aura forming into more or less 50 more Ganma. Their bodies resembled the blank ones, only their faces were blank, and they all had black hoodies on. Each also carried a weapon which was either a very long knife or a very short sword.

"Unfair!" Whisper blew a whistle while holding up a red card.

"How did you get me to do this?!" Yurusen demanded, waving the towel in his place.

"What are these things?" Ghost asked as the Ganma Commandos surrounded him, moving in a slow lumbering style, like zombies almost, before he held his hand out to his flashing belt and his Gan Gun Sabser in broadsword mode flew into his hand.

The Commandos began swinging wildly as Ghost countered with his own. He slashed one knocking it back before blocking another from a Commando. He kicked another away before slashing another Ganma across the chest. But with each swing, the Commandos would move around, making Ghost miss with each swing. The Katana Ganma walked through his minions and closer to Ghost.

"No matter how strong you are...you can not defeat the power of sheer numbers!" he stated as he swung his sword, hitting Ghost's chest making sparks fly.

The Commandos then grabbed Ghost as he stumbled back, keeping him from moving.

"Ah…" Ghost groaned, struggling to get free. "Musashi fought a hundred opponents at once!"

"And you are no Musashi, boy!" the Ganma declared as he struck Ghost with his sword once more, letting him be sent off tumbling away, sparks racing off the slashed area.

Ghost stumbled through the sand before he tried to get back up, using a rock for support as water splashed against him from the ocean.

"I won't lose either!" Ghost shouted looking at the Ganma while pulling out his necklace with the guard of Musashi's sword. "I will fight to protect everyone's lives!" he shouted with all his conviction as he gripped the guard tightly before it began to glow red, "Eh?"

"The handguard...is shining?" Cyber asked, mostly recovered from her dizzy spell.

"Ara...Musashi no tsuba?" Ghost asked in confusion.

"There is is!" Yurusen shouted as she flew past Whisper, making him spin in the air, and stopped near Ghost, "Draw an eye symbol and seal it!"

Ghost blinked under his helmet before he raised his right hand's index and middle finger before he moved them around in an oval way before an eye symbol like the one on his chest appeared from the motion. The Guard then turned into red smoke that flew up and into the air. As it did it expanded and then slowly began to reform. It was another hoodie like the one from Ghost's Ore Eyecon, but different as well. It was a red sleeveless parka with a hood that sported a metal headband around the hood and a topknot-like object from the back made from the handle of a Katana. The chest of the hood has metal straps on the front of each chest, with metal studs on the shoulders, connecting two straps that seemed made from samurai armor with short tanto blades connecting to the ends. The coat also had a wispy ghost tail at the bottom. The red eyes in the hood glowed as the blade-ended arms moved and formed a pose resembling a person holding up twin swords, a red spectral image of Musashi doing the same pose appearing behind it.

"Eh?! What is that?!" Ghost exclaimed as he pointed at the parka.

"Could it be...the soul of Musashi?" Whisper pondered.

"Quit gettin' so surprised over everything and accept Musashi's power!" Yurusen snapped at Ghost.

"I won't allow you!" the Katana Ganma roared before firing a sword beam at the Hoodie.

However, before it could come close, something stopped the blast in midair. A spectral image of Sennin's face formed in the air before he blew a quick breath, sending the blast back as a stream of blue fire at the Katana Ganma and his minions, setting them on fire. Senning then turned to Ghost.

"If you Synchronize with Musashi's soul, he will lend you his power." Sennin spoke.

"Really, Occhan?"

"Kamen Rider Ghost can use the great power of the Hero Eyecons, to fight the Ganma." Sennin explained calmly as Yurusen nodded in agreement.

"Yep~" Yurusen happily agreed with Sennin as he faded away.

"G-Giant Big Face…" Cyber gawked.

"Yosha Musashi Come!" Ghost ordered as the hoodie flew into the Ghost Driver with a red pulse of energy.

A red Eyecon formed from the shine of the eye in the Ghost Driver, which Ghost grabbed in his hand. The top of it read 01, showing two crossed red katanas, and read Musashi below. Ghost pressed the button once as it blinked to show it now read 01.

"Musashi's Eyecon..." The Katana Ganma stated, seeing the red colored eyecon.

Ghost removed his Ore Eyecon and the parka he was wearing dispersed in orange flecks of light, "Yosha."

"A new outfit?" Cyber pondered as Ghost inserted the Musashi Eyecon into the Ghost Driver and closed it.

=EYE=

At that, the Musashi hood came back out as several Commandos charged at Ghost. The Hood swung its arms, slicing one, then it swung and sliced a second. It then twirled around and slashed a third Commando. All of them bled black blood before fading away in dark smoke.

=Bacchiri Minaa~ Bacchiri Minaa~=

The Musashi Hood flew around Ghost as he grabbed the Lever of the Ghost Driver. He pulled than pushed making the eye of his driver blink.

=KAIGAN! MUSASHI!=

The Musashi Hood flew around Ghost, whipping up sand that formed into black smoke that swirld around Ghost. The Musashi Hood then flipped around and put itself on Ghost as its bladed arms folded and hung behind Ghost like tassels/mufflers with blades at the end. As the hood fastened itself in the place, the metal headband tightening as a sign of that, a mask locked into place; having two red katana's crossed on the mask, the horn now going in-between the headband.

=Ketto! Zubatto! Cho-Kengo!=

That call completed the transformation in a bright red flash from the new hood.

"Lee-ne," Ghost said as he grabbed his sword and pulled off the back blade as it unfolded now resembling a Katana, "Tenka Musou!" he shouted, holding both his blades into the air and assumed a sword stance, "Come at me!" he challenged, his voice now full of great confidence and even sounding deeper.

"Oh! He's perfectly copying Musashi's opening stance!" Whisper awed.

"Sugoi~" Cyber awed.

(Insert Song: Warae Omou, Yue ni Warera Ari: Kishidan)

"Get him!" The Katana Ganma ordered the Commandos. Each of them charging forward.

Ghost shouted as he swung his sword, deflecting two swings from two Commandos. He slashed with both swords as he passed between the two Commandos, making black blood fly from the cuts to their abdomen. Ghost then turned around and slashed them both on the chest as they stumbled back. Ghost then spun as he used his left sword to slash three Commandos across the chest leaving deep cuts in them. Meanwhile Ghost swung his right sword to cut another Commando down on its shoulder, making it stumble back with black blood spewing from each wound Ghost inflicted on them.

Ghost then ran down the beach with his right sword rested on his shoulder. The Commandos following him closely. Ghost walked into the tides of the ocean as the Commandos charged at him once more. Ghost slashed one Commando that got to close making blood fly from the swing. Ghost kept back stepping as he swung both sword deflecting swings from each Commando who swung at him. He then swung both swords downwards cutting two Ganma making them fall to the side fading away. Ghost ran back another burst before he stopped three more Ganma closing in. Ghost slashed like mad cutting down one from the left then the right, before slashing the center commando. Ghost slashed again cutting one Commando across the shoulder, Ghost then used the momentum of that swing to spin on his heels to slash yet another Ganma.

Ghost then ran again moving towards a more rocky portion of the beach leading the Commando's with him. Ghost then skidded to a stop across the sand as the Commando's formed a circle around him keeping him trapped. Ghost spun and slashed with his left sword cutting down one Commando, while he swung his right blade and cut down two more Commando's. Ghost then raised both his swords up cutting two Commando's across their torsos before he slashed his swords back down in a slight X style making more black blood fly and fade away into the air. Ghost then blocked a swing from the right before he used his left blade to cut down two Commando's at once. Ghost then spun and slashed the Commando he blocked before his final swing cutting it across the abdomen. All the Commandos continued to bleed before fading away into black smoke, leaving Ghost and the Katana Ganma the only ones left on the beach.

"Not bad." the Katana Ganma had to admit after seeing the sword skills of Musashi channeled into the present.

"You're the last one!" Ghost shouted, pointing his left sword at the Ganma. "Now it's your turn to become rust on my blade!" he shouted, the spirit and will of Musashi empowering him.

The Katana Ganma rested his normal hand on his hip as he flicked his blade. Ghost slowly moved his arms with his left sword above his shoulders and his right blade parallel to his waist and lower towards the ground. The Katana Ganma charged first as he swung his sword at Ghost, who countered with his left sword. As both passed one another, sparks flew from the impact of their sharp weapons. Ghost stabbed his right sword forward as the Ganma deflected it with a back swing of his bladed arm. The Ganma then stabbed at Ghost who deflected the stab with his left blade to the side, the Kamen Rider then swung high with his right as the Ganma ducked under it. The Ganma took one step back before he raised his sword and swung down with all his force as Ghost blocked it by crossing both his swords. Both pushed, before Ghost suddenly pushed back with more strength than before making the Katana Ganma take a few steps back.

The Katana Ganma grunted and swung down, only for Ghost to duck under the swing and moving past the Ganma. When the Ganma turned to swing once more, Ghost deflected with his right sword before swinging the left, leaving a red streak in the sky cutting through the Ganma as he did. The force cut through its chest, making the black blood fly and stain the sand. The Katana Ganma fell to one knee as a result. The Katana Ganma pushed himself up and tried a large overhead swing, only for Ghost to stab both blades forward, hitting the Ganma in the chest again. More blood flew from the impact of the blades, making him stumble back with a groan of pain. The Katana Ganma fell to his knees as his chest began to heal itself again.

"Have the sword make eye contact with the belt!" Yurusen ordered.

"Huh? Okay…" Ghost replied as he brought the eye on his Gan Gun Saber to the 'eye' of his Ghost Driver, a red light shining between the two 'eyes' and connecting them.

=DAI KAIGAN!=

Ghost held both his swords forward as red energy formed into the same symbol as from before. Only this time, it was a bright, burning red that seem to radiate confidence and pride. Cyber grunted as she had to pull harder on Whisper's tail to make sure he didn't pass on.

=Gan Gan Minaa! Gan Gan Minaa!=

The Katana Ganma aimed his sword for a powerful thrust as he slowly got to his feet. Ghost held both his swords forward as the red energy flowed into the blades. The Kamen Rider crossed his arms his left blade now pointing to the right and vice versa with his right arm. Ghost slowly moves his feet so his left blade now pointed forward as the Ganma got even closer.

=Gan Gan Minaa~!=

In a simple second, the Ganma charged swinging with all its power. Ghost used his left blade to block the swing and then began running while slashing with his right, the glowing blade cutting the Katana Ganma across the abdomen. Blood flew from the slash as Ghost was now back to back with the Ganma.

=Gan Gan Minaa~!=

The Katana Ganma stabbed forward as both turned to face each other again, but Ghost swung both arms up, knocking all three of their swords up and pointing to the heavens. Ghost then pressed the trigger.

=OMEGA SLASH!=

With that, the energy flashed brighter as Ghost slashed both swords straight down, blood and fire coming off the blades' impact with the Ganma. Two parallel red streaks now carved down its shoulders as sparks and electricity began to come off him.

The Ganma groaned as its coat flew off, its Primal body swinging its now normal arms in pain. In one final shout the Ganma exploded violently. The Katana that helped it evolve and its eye falling to the sand. The eye cracked and exploded into black smoke.

(End Song)

Ghost fell back on his rear with a sigh.

"Yatta...Ah…" he groaned in exhaustion, falling flat on his back with his legs kicking up before falling back to the ground. "I'm beat…" he sighed.

"Takeru-san!" Cyber called as she ran over with Yurusen and Whisper floating after her.

"Ah, Cyber-san...you okay?" Ghost asked as he sat up before jumping up as he pulled the Musashi Eyecon out and closed the Ghost Driver.

=Oyasumi…=

"I'm okay. Demo...That was really amazing though, Takeru-san," Cyber noted.

"Indeed. When you used Musashi's power, you squashed them like mushi," Whisper compared, causing Cyber's eyes to widen.

"Ah! My bag! I left it back at the temple!" Cyber freaked, "Mou...All the mushi I collected today are still in there and I need them for my project..."

"Don't worry...I'll call Onari and tell him to make sure Narita doesn't mess with it." Takeru stated with a smile as he stuffed the Eyecon into his kimono jacket. "I'll give you a ride back so you can pick them up." he offered. "It's the least I can do...I caused you a lot of trouble today, Cyber-san. I'm really sorry about that."

"It...It's okay," Cyber replied, "Because of today, I got to meet you, Whisper-san, and Yurusen-san."

"Why am I included?" Yurusen asked, only for Takeru to swat her away.

"Aside from those strange creatures attacking us since the temple, I don't think I'd really change what's happened to me today," Cyber noted.

"Yeah...I might change the part where I died...but I got that covered anyway." Takeru smiled, holding up Musashi's Eyecon again, "And...I would have never been able to merge my soul with Musashi's." he smiled, "Or make friends with someone...eh?"

"F-Friends?" Cyber asked, her eyes watering a bit in surprise.

"Of course...What else could I call you…? You're my friend. You stuck by me through all this, and you helped me. That makes someone your friend, right?" he chuckled awkwardly.

"A friend…" Cyber sniffled before tackling Takeru over in a hug, "I...I have a friend!"

"Of course you do…" Takeru said, not sure what to do for a second, "A-Ano...D-Don't worry, Cyber-san...you're not going to lose me anytime soon...I'll make sure I come back to life. I'd like to hang out with you more." he assured as he slowly wrapped his arms around her to return the crying girl's hug.

Whisper sniffled as he blew his nonexistent nose, "My new mistress is so happy now!"

"As her butler, shouldn't you be worried about her glomping a teenage boy of the same age?" Yurusen countered.

"Ah! Y-You're right!" Whisper freaked.

As the four interacted, they were unaware of someone watching nearby. The man in the black clothing watched on, his hat shadowing most of his face. His glove covered hand gripped the handle of his giant briefcase as he turned around uncaring before stopping.

Standing in his path was a young man...possibly around Takeru and Cyber's age. He wore black and dark grey robe-like clothes in the same retro-japanese style as Takeru. But while Takeru's looked more traditional, this young man's clothes gave off a more rough feel. He had messy hair a mix of black and blond.

"I was not informed of interlopers." the boy said seriously.

The man in black only looked up at the boy before he smiled, revealing his crooked and gnarled teeth, before walking past them, "Do not worry about them."

The boy looked at the four as Takeru was calming Cyber down while Yurusen and Whisper argued, ending with Yurusen pulling out the paper folding fan to whap the Yokai Butler. He gave them a strange look before he turned and left as well.

Takeru pulled his bike which no returned to normal up to the main entrance to the Temple Stairs. Takeru pulled off his helmet and gloves as he and Cyber got off the bike.

"Where have you gone, Young Master?" Onari pondered as he paced outside the temple.

"Onari." Takeru blinked, tilting his head. "Wait...can he not see me?" he asked as he remembered people gasping and saying things like a girl driving a bike without using her hands.

"Whether they can see you or not depends on your emotional state," Yurusen explained before looking over at Cyber, primarily her Yokai Watch, "Or if you have that Yokai Watch Tits McGee there has."

Cyber blushed at that. It wasn't her fault her father's side of the family had early bloomers on the girl's side.

"So quit moping!" Yurusen continued.

"Oi! Don't be so rude!" Takeru complained, his anger making him visible to Onari again.

"Ah!" Onari freaked before giving a choked noise, "You're alive!" he ran over and hugged him, "Takeru-dono is alive!"

"Ah...well about that…" Takeru said becoming invisible again, Onari's arms phasing through him.

"You suck at this…" Yurusen noted, "Here you go!"

"Gah!" Takeru yelped as he tumbled near Onari, turning visible once more, "Ite…"

"That was uncalled for!" Whisper called out as he used the paper fan this time to swat Yurusen away.

"You're not hiding this time, Whisper-san," Cyber blinked twice.

"Well, he may look exactly like the priest...he doesn't seem all that tough and skilled like he was," Whisper shrugged, "Oh! I see your bag, Cyber-chan!"

"Eh?" Cyber turned and ran over to grab her bag, quickly checking in it, "Yokatta...They're all still here and not hurt at all."

"TAKERU-DONO IS A GHOST!" Onari cried out as he passed out.

"You know...part of me knew he'd do that…" Takeru said, having plugged his ears with his fingers.

"Oh my…" Cyber gasped as she pulled a small pillow out of her backpack and put it under Onari's head, "Hope he doesn't have a concussion from that fall."

"Trust me. Onari is tougher than he looks...There was this time when I was a small kid that he fell down all those stairs...and got back up like it was nothing." he explained. "So this is nothing. But still, he needs a little space. Cyber-san, want something to eat?" he asked.

"Ano…" Cyber began before her stomach went off for her answer, making her blush.

"I'll take that as a yes. I have some snacks to keep your stomach happy 'till I give you a lift home." he smiled happily. "Come on. I keep them in my room." he said as he took off his sneakers at the stairs to the house of the temple.

"A-Arigatou," Cyber thanked, following his lead in leaving her shoes besides his as she followed.

Takeru lead her through his home as he made it to the metal door to his office. The size of the room felt somewhat overwhelming to Cyber and Whisper at first since it was essentially two floors.

"Here we are." he said, showing Cyber the big room that was once his father's personal office.

"Deka~!" Cyber awed.

"It's my dad's office, but I use it like my room." Takeru explained, jumping down the stairs.

"It feels quite amazing in here. Almost as if it were a natural hotspot for spirits," Whisper noted before noticing a large obsidian stone nearby with the same symbol as on Ghost's torso and back was on it, "Whis?"

"That's some strange monolith my Tousan was studying." Takeru explained, "I'm not sure what it is, but looks like it was sacred." he stated simply. the eye glowing slightly while Takeru and Cyber weren't looking so Whisper was the only one who saw it. Takeru then grabbed a couple of sweets from the desk on the second floor. "Here you go, Cyber, this should hold you over 'till I take you home."

"Arigatou," Cyber thanked.

As Cyber ate one of the snacks, Takeru walked over to his desk and picked up his book, whispering, "Tou-san…"

"Hey, welcome back."

"?!" Takeru turned to see Sennin, wearing a blue moving man's uniform with a little Yurusen patch.

"I'm finally done moving in," Sennin beamed.

"Eh? Occhan?!" Takeru stated in surprise as he practically flew down the stairs, Cyber quickly using the Yokai Watch in the area he was going to.

"Oh! It's the Giant Big Face!" Cyber exclaimed.

"Kids this day and age are so rude..." Sennin sighed sarcastically as he walked over to a small table under the metal floor that had several cabinets and chairs around it as well, almost like a traditional living room.

"Oh! Gomen," Cyber bowed.

"Ah it's okay, Ojou-chan." Sennin said as he sat on a mat at the table before he grabbed an orange on it and began to peel it.

"This was my tou-san's research lab, you can't just barge in," Takeru noted.

"I forgot to mention this, but uh…" Sennin noted, "You need to collect the 15 heroes within 99 days, or you won't be able to come back to life."

"Eh?!" the two gasped.

"99 days...that's only a little more than three months." Takeru said.

"Well good thing you have one already then, isn't it?" Sennin chuckled. "Oh right. I forgot about him." he gasped as he got up and walked over to a box he had with him before opening it and letting a familiar sight to Cyber crawl out of it.

"Semimaru-san!" Cyber gasped.

"That was quite nice being in there, min~" the cicada Yokai noted before bowing to Cyber, "It is good to see you are safe from the Ganma, min~"

"Eh?" Takeru looked at Cyber.

"This was the cicada I caught just before I met you and Whisper-san, Takeru-san," Cyber informed.

"I was impressed by how skilled you were at not only catching the other mushi here, but also how you made sure they were all safe in the special containers," Semimaru informed before reaching into his clothes and pulling something out, "Consider this and me being the cicada for your project for the next week as my sign of friendship for you."

"Eh?" Cyber blinked as she was given a coin-like object depicting Semimaru on a tree, swinging his sword at butterfly nets below.

"A Yokai Medal! Cyber-chan, this is most excellent. When used with your Yokai Watch, you can now summon Semimaru from wherever whenever you need his aide!" Whisper beamed.

"If you want, you can think of it like a summon from a video game," Yurusen simplified.

"..." Cyber hugged the cicada, "Arigatou, Semimaru-san."

"Min~!" Semimaru beamed as he returned the hug with all four of his arms.

"You'll find that making friends with Yokai may help in finding the remaining 14 heroes," Sennin noted with a chuckle, "As well as helping bridges that are trying to be destroyed."

"Eh?" Everyone but Yurusen blinked in confusion.

"Still, only 99 days before you die for good," Sennin shrugged, "You can't stay a ghost forever...not unless you become a Yokai."

"Eh!?" Takeru gasped as Sennin stared at the Monolith, "Why didn't you mention something this important earlier?!"

"Actually...today's pretty much done...so make that 98 days." he stated, ignoring Takeru's question.

GammaTron: Yikes. This doesn't seem good. Takeru-san only has 98 days left to find 14 heroic Eyecons!

Kamen Rider ZER0: Not to mention he has to compete with Ganma, a Mysterious duo, and who knows what else in the future. Kamen Rider Ghost has an intense story don't he?

GT: Indeed.

Z0: Well, at least he has some friends to help him out in that. Mainly Cyber and her Yokai Butler Whisper.

GT: *nods* Uhn!

Z0: Okay, now as the writers, and this being the outro, I want to be able to answer a few things. Now for starters, you fans who know Kamen Rider Ghost may have noticed...a lack of Akar.

GT: AKA the Denial Lady.

Z0: Yeah, here's the thing, I don't hate her, infact I like her as a person, and she is a well acted character. But she just left a very bad first impression.

GT: Agreed. She's literally seen Takeru turn invisible and be a ghost, she's seen his dead body even, and she still denies it! What the heck, nya?!

Z0: Yes, she does that. And honestly, I found that bit annoying. I don't blame the head writer, I know he's trying his best as a fellow Rider fan and so far he's done fantastic work. Akari is meant to ground Takeru and be the one who is there for him emotionally. But I feel her character…traits could have been done better.

GT: Wait, that's what she was meant to be? I thought that was Onari's job. I feel he does it much better.

Z0: Well the female portion, Riders have a male friend who does the same thing, and in that regard Onari does a great job. He's goofy and wacky, but when it comes down to it, he is a good friend. Such as when he was honest and told Takeru he still has a ways to go in his role as Ghost. But Akari is the female lead, she's meant to connect in a different emotional way, such as when Takeru was invisible all the time, she actually cried and told him she just wanted to help. That was a good scene...but it was ruined by her going back to denial later.

GT: Just when I thought she had a chance at good character development, it goes right down the kitty litter.

Z0: Again I'm not trying to be harsh readers...it's just the writer focused on making the story for our Kamen Rider's what matters most. To which he succeeds. But for us as the fans doing a fan based work, well we figured for the best to do it like this. I mean we are only going to introduce even more wacky and unbelievable things with the Yokai. The Akari Denial thing would just gives us...well for me it's like mild heartburn cause it's so annoying. Alright I think that much is settled, let's move on to the next topic.

GT: Right! Onto the next thing! Why we chose the series Yokai Watch as what Ghost crossovers with for this story! Well, both are dealing with something that nearly the same in a way; spirits and ghost and those kinds of things.

Z0: That's right, things no one can see but the hero can and has to stop them from messing with everyday life. Of course the Yokai never went on a murder spree like the Spear Ganma did in Ghost. But uh...the core concept is the same.

GT: *nods* Plus, like Ganma, Yokai can inspirit people, though in a much grander variety of what happens. From being bossy, to knowing a lot of trivia, to even farting without control. Everyday life's strange things can be connected to a different Yokai.

Z0: And you thought you could blame things like what you eat or your mood...no it's because of Yokai. Basically you're never alone. There is even a Yokai that makes you act like a shut in.

GT: That last one's been getting really popular in recent years, hasn't it?

Z0: Indeed. Guess Yokai are just drawn to humans who can synch with their...traits. But you can see our point; the concepts of Kamen Rider Ghost and Yokai Watch are very parallel.

GT: Which is something pretty sweet.

Z0: Indeed, so this is the main reason we settled on this choice. And this is the first chapter but starting next chapter we will be focusing a little more on the Yokai aspect since both sides are now together so to speak. But we'll still keep to the same pace of the Eyecon's debuts.

GT: So that means once every seven days, right?

Z0: Ghost's 99 days are weird...one episode the day count jumped from 80...to 50.

GT: NANI?! Wow. Well, that means there'll be filler chapters, which means more Yokai to befriend and plots to uncover!

Z0: Exactly, and while the 15 Eyecons plot will be the driving thing, we have some other Eyecons to introduce, do we have a proper explanation yet...you'll need to wait for that one I'm afraid.

GT: Agreed. Those will be some special ones, too. Also, for those of you who watch the Yokai Watch anime or have played the game, I will be using the Japanese names for every, single Yokai and the summoning chants. *grumbles* Lousy English calling 'Jinmenken' a 'Manjimutt'...That's a real Yokai, dang it!

Z0: Well, what do you expect? Look at who dubbed it.

GT: Who dubbed it? Because if it was 4Kids, I would be shocked considering they kept the Yokai that makes you fart all the time in the anime...or that they kept a line Robonyan said in his debut the same…

Z0: Well even still dubbing is something not to focus on. You'll just end up disappointed. Surprisingly, few anime turn over well once dubbed. Be it 'cause of the names terminology, or just the tone which doesn't translate well to english.

GT: *nods* Or they give it to 4Kids until they realize their mistake and give it to Funimation.

Z0: The past has taught us well, people. Anywho, our ranting aside. We are still glad to be bringing you this fic, and we will be updating as soon as possible, due to the fact both me and GT are kind of obsessed with the two things making up this fic.

GT: That's right! Oh! We still nyeed to do the preview for the next chapter!

Z0: Yurusen!

Yurusen: Jikai Kamen rider Ghost: Yokai chronicles!

Cyber: I've heard a lot of stories about this intersection. People suddenly walking into the middle of it only for cars to stop on a dime.

Onari: Takeru-dono, it must be the work of a Ganma, we must investigate.

Takeru: No one should ever belittle their own life's worth.

?: Take this, you stupid truck! Hyakkuretsu Nikyuu!

Takeru & Cyber: Eh nani?

Spirit 2: The Intersection of Terror

Whisper: Ah! Onari-san's been Inspirited!

Z0: You know...I honestly can't say I'm surprised.

GT: Nya?

Z0: You'll see what I mean next time.

GT: Right! *waves to the readers* Bye-bye~! And myake sure to review! They're almost as good as Chocobo!

Z0: Until next time readers, be on the lookout for anything paranormal, never know what's lurking right beside you. Have a happy holiday season. *waves good bye as me and GT leave*
