Chapter 59: A Bath Too Much/Illoo-sionary

Previous Chapter

Twilight Sparkle sat in one of the rooms of her castle. She laid the Yo-kai Watch down on a nearby table and wheeled over one of the many gadgets inside towards it. She brought what looked like a giant lens over the watch, before inputting commands into the console using her giant hooves on the keyboard. The giant device began taking in data on the Yo-kai Watch, but it was all in a code that only Twilight could understand.

As her little data expedition came along, Whisper wandered into the room along with Jibanyan. "Uh... Twilight? Not that I'm not enthusiastic about your little exploits but... what in the world are you doing with the Yo-kai Watch?"

"I'm trying to figure out exactly what this thing is made out of. Try to refine the tech a little bit." Twilight turned her head to Whisper briefly before she went back to the machine. "The more that I know about the Yo-kai Watch, the more that I can experiment with it. And if my experiments with the watch work, then we could make some more breakthroughs with it."

"And what kind of experiments did you have in mind, exactly, Twilight?" Whisper cocked a brow.

"Well, I want to find a way to improve the latency of the Watch as well as its' efficiency. Make it more than just a simple thing that I can use to summon my Yo-kai friends and find others." Twilight typed away at the machine, inputting character after character into it while keeping up the conversation with Whisper. "Think about this, Whisper. As it stands, the Yo-kai Watch can only summon one Yo-kai at a time, not counting the EX model that I made to battle the big, bad Yo-kai. But I want to make sure that the watch has more uses than just that. See if it can actually tell the time, improve my Yo-kai's combat efficiency, even try and integrate some tech from your Yo-kai Pad into it if possible."

"I see... And what of the consequences of failure?" Whisper drifted over to the Watch. "You know, these things aren't exactly cheap. And since Pinkie Pie cleaned out my account at Halloween, I think it's highly unlikely that there'll be replacements in order."

"Well, that's why I've got the Model Zero and Yo-kai Watch U, right? Don't get your swirl in a knot, Whisper." Twilight flashed him a grin."

"Nyeah, Whisper. Don't be such a soggy sport." Jibanyan clambered up Twilight's body. "Twilight's got a back up plan for everything, right?"

"Of course, Jibanyan. I've got a plan for every scenario." Except fighting King Void and the Dark Yo-kai, that is... Twilight, while she smiled on the outside, was dreading massively on the inside. For everything that had happened, she needed to make sure that her work was not only fast, but also beneficial to her and everyone else. If she couldn't come up with something to fend off the darkness, then everyone that she knew and love would likely meet a grizzled end.

"Well, don't let me try and stop you, Twilight. But this will be on your head if the Yo-kai Watch ends up being destroyed beyond repair..." Whisper folded his arms and turned his back.

"Which it won't, Whisper. Have some faith in me." Twilight rolled her eyes and was about to go back to her work on the console, when the door slammed open and she was interrupted rather abruptly.

"Twilight! Oh, thank Celestia I found you!" Mrs. Cake scurried into the room, barely even noticing the machinery as her eyes locked with Twilight's. "You've gotta come to Sugarcube Corner right away! It's an emergency!"

"What kind of emergency, Mrs. Cake?" Twilight asked, pulling herself away from the work as she strapped the Yo-kai Watch back on her hand.

"Well, I think it's just better if I show you! Come on!" She scurried back out of the room with Twilight in hot pursuit. Whisper and Jibanyan were soon to follow afterwards.

"I'm really not so sure what the situation could be that it requires my help, Mrs. Cake. If it's a busy day at Sugarcube Corner, then Pinkie Pie's gotta have you covered, right?"

"Well, see, that's the thing. Pinkie Pie's not working at all. Sure, she's in the building, but something's just stopping her from doing it. And instead, she's just... well, it's hard to explain it here, really," said Mrs. Cake as she turned her neck back to Twilight. "Like I said, it's best if you see it with your own eyes."

Twilight began to think about just what kind of situation could need her help if it wasn't even explained to her. As she eventually unfurled her wings to fly, she tightened the strap on the Yo-kai Watch. For all that she knew, it could have been a crisis involving a Yo-kai that needed to be battled down or talked into stopping.

Twilight eventually arrived at Sugarcube Corner with Mrs. Cake, then watched as she shot up the stairs. It wasn't long before she went after her. The both of them saw Mr. Cake out of the corner of their eyes, working hard to satisfy the customers in the place with their orders, but neither one of them stopped for a chat with him.

Mrs. Cake and Twilight made it to the bathroom of the house, where they saw the peculiarity at play. Pinkie, Poud Cake, and Pumpkin Cake were all sitting in the bathtub. All of them were just sitting inside, splashing each other with the water and soaking themselves in the soapy suds.

"Uh... Is this what you wanted me to fix, Mrs. Cake?" Twilight asked, tilting her head to the side as she watched the Cake Twins and Pinkie enjoying their time in the tub. "I... don't really see why this is an emergency."

"Well, normally, I'm totally for the Cake Twins having a bath. You know, they always say that cleanliness is close to godliness. But the thing is... The Cake Twins have been having a bath for nearly THREE HOURS!" Mrs. Cake threw her hooves towards the bath. "Not to mention, when I sent Pinkie Pie in to diffuse the situation, she ended up joining them and now she refuses to get out as well!"

"Three hours?!" Twilight lurched backwards as her eyes shrunk to pinpricks. "That's... a bit excessive for a bath, don't you think?"

"Well, as commendable as their efforts to enjoy the luxury of a warm, bubble bath may be, I can't help but feel that's a little bit too excessive; even if there's a couple of babies involved..." Whisper stared into the bath, watching the three ponies inside continue to soak and bathe.

"You think there might be a Yo-kai involved with this whole thing?" Twilight asked, lifting the Yo-kai Watch in preparation, flipping the lens outward.

"Twilight. How many times must we go through this? Yo-kai might be everywhere, but they are most certainly not responsible for every little thing that happens in this world, the Yo-kai World, or any other world beyond—" Before Whisper could finish, Twilight reached into his ethereal mass and pulled out the Yo-kai Pad "—H-Hey! Twilight? Since when is my Yo-kai Pad a free-to-use-tool that everyone can use? I mean, come on, now. That device cost me over 100,000 Yo-Dollars! Yopple gear isn't cheap, you know!"

"Oh, calm down, Whisper. I've got this sussed out." Twilight fiddled with the pad while pointing the watch at the bathtub. Once it did, the light revealed a small head with blonde hair and a blue bathing cap on top of it. Once she found the Yo-kai involved, she scrolled through the pad until she found an image that matched the head in the bath. "Anyways. It looks like we're dealing with a Yo-kai called Little Blue Bathing Hood. Anyone that she inspirits ends up becoming obsessed with baths. Either constantly taking them every few minutes or so, or in this case, never ever wanting to leave the bathtub ever. A good Yo-kai to have if you want to feel clean and refreshed, but in Sugarcube Corner's case... not so much."

"I must admit, the whole idea of a Yo-kai that makes people wanna bathe sounds pretty... confusining, nyan." Jibanyan rubbed the back of his head. "I mean, I'm a cat, and I don't need to get myself all wet to clean myself. All I need is to just lick myself all over and it does wonders." Jibanyan looked up at Little Blue Bathing Hood, then watched as she splashed him with water, giving a little giggle as she did so. "Then again... licking only does so much for you. Let me in there!" Jibanyan hurled himself into the bath and landed with a big splash.

"Jibanyan! Have you no shame?!" said Whisper as he and Twilight narrowly avoided getting wet themselves. "It's bad enough that the bath is already full to the brim as it is, but you in there? Now I really have seen everything..."

"So... anyone who gets wet by Little Blue Bathing Hood becomes inspirited?" Twilight pulled out her medallium and flipped through the medals. "Then I'm gonna need a Yo-kai that knows how to handle and avoid water... Or maybe someone that could handle the sitation from a distance." Twilight took another look at Little Blue Bathing Hood and watched as she just swam around the bath, bobbing under the splashes from the ponies and rubbing Jibanyan's belly as he laid with his back in the water. "That being said... she doesn't really look all that threatening or territorial. Can I really just strike her down with a Yo-kai friend? Or should I try to reason the situation out?"

"In any case, Twilight, she's a Yo-kai that's preventing Pinkie Pie from working, making these two baby ponies want to have an eternal bath, and has now assimilated Jibanyan into their little bathtime cult. Clearly SOMETHING needs to be done here," said Whisper as he looked at the bath once again.

Twilight took a step forward, reaching out towards Little Blue Bathing Hood as she made it back to the rim of the tub. "Hey. Hi. My name's Twilight Sparkle. You're Little Blue Bathing Hood, right?"

"Y-yes?" Little Blue Bathing Hood spoke with a high-pitched, squeaky voice. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, see, the ponies... and well, Yo-kai that you've inspirited have to get back to their lives." Twilight pointed each of the bathers out. "Pinkie Pie needs to go downstairs to help the family sell their cakes and pastries. The Cake Twins, Pound and Pumpkin are babies, so they've gotta go back to their room and play. And Jibanyan? Well, he's mine so... I kinda need him back if that's alright."

"Aww... but what's so wrong with having a bath?" Little Blue Bathing Hood asked. "They're super-soapy, loads of fun, and everybody loves to get clean every once in a while. You get so dirty from doing everything you do in the world around you, that it's good to just sit down in a nice, warm, bubbly bath and just let everything melt away." She giggled. "That's what I want everyone to see; that a fun bath every now and again helps melt all the messiness like butter."

"Well, a bath is good and all, but—"

"Here!" Little Blue Bathing Hood doused Twilight with a spritzing of water. "Why don't you come on in and join us? For a super-soapy, extra bubbly, clean bathtime like never before?"

"Well, if you want me too." Twilight, immediately befalling the inspirit of Little Blue Bathing Hood climbed into the bath, making the others give way as she dipped herself in the water.

"Twilight! No!" Both Mrs. Cake and Whisper collectively cried out as Twilight felt the water seep into her skin.

"There we go... isn't it nice to feel all squeaky clean and bubbly?" Little Blue Bathing Hood asked as she swam up to Twilight. "Just let everything go and just bathe your problems away. Trust me, it works."

"Mmm..." Twilight sighed in relief as she let the water dance on her body. "I gotta say, Little Blue, I kinda needed this after all the stuff that I've been going through."

"Oh? Like what?" Little Blue Bathing Hood pricked up her ears.

"Ever since this whole mess with King Void started, I've been worrying day in, day out about how I'm not gonna be able to fight back, that everything in Equestria, the Yo-kai World, Human World, everything, won't be enough to defeat this guy." Twilight lifted one hoof out of the water. "But... I just have to keep reminding myself that there are always Yo-kai out there, all wanting to be my friend given a little push or invitation. That's what you wanna be, right? My friend?"

"Well... I would. But... I've gotta wait for my big sister to come and get me first." Little Blue Bathing Hood blushed at each cheek. "See, my sister, Bubble Beth, she's a Yo-kai that loves bathtime as well. But she's extra clean because of all the super-soapy stuff that she uses. We travel between baths together, you see but... I kinda lost her in this world's baths. I thought that, if someone with a Yo-kai Watch would come and find me, then maybe they could point me in the direction of my big sis, but... no. No luck yet. Do you have my big sis's medal yet?"

"No, Little Blue, I'm afraid I don't." Twilight shook her head. "Truth be told, this is the first I've ever heard of you and your big sister."

"That's a shame." Little Blue hung her head, nose gently touching the water. "But hey, on the bright side, at least I was able to meet someone nice like you, Twilight. Most people who see me giving everyone the bathtime of their lives end up chasing me away. They think that my bathtimes are mean and that they suck everyone in like a black hole."

"Well, bathtimes can be good for you, so long as you do them in moderation, Little Blue Bathing Hood. Though, for you, I assume that moderation means as much as possible... But ponies aren't like Yo-kai in any sense of the word." Twilight unfurled her wings, yet didn't lift herself out. "Still, if you want to find your big sister, why don't we stay right here? Have such a long bath that, by the end of it all, Bubble Beth is sure to come running. Or... swimming. Or however you two travel these days."

"Thank you so so much, Twilight!" Little Blue Bathing Hood nuzzled her head against Twilight's fuzzy, yet drenched wings. "I promise that I'll be sure to let everyone get out of the bath as soon as my big sis comes and picks me up!"

Time went on and on for Twilight, Little Blue, and everyone else in the bathroom. While Pinkie and the Cake Twins still soaked and played their little games, Jibanyan and Twilight just sat there, letting the water wash them clean from the neck down. The creatures all festered in the bathtub for what seemed like minutes upon minutes on end, until finally, a small burst of purple smoke entered the water, filling it with bubbles.

At the heart of the bubbles, another tiny human laid. With long, luxurious golden hair held up by a lilac headband with a flower at the top of it, arms stretching out of the water poking out of a shirt similar in colour to the headband, and small pinpricks for eyes, she swam over to Twilight and Little Blue Bathing Hood.

"Sis!" Little Blue Bathing Hood giddily splashed over towards the newcomer.

"Little Blue, why'd you run off here? Do you know how many different bathtubs I had to search on this planet in order to find you?" Bubble Beth asked, wrapping her arms around Little Blue Bathing Hood underneath the water. "Did you find her for me?" She asked Twilight.

"Yes. Yes I did. I assume that you're Bubble Beth, right?" Twilight sauntered across the water. "It's nice to meet you. My name's Twilight Sparkle. Princess of Friendship."

"Princess of Friendship, eh? And I see that you have a Yo-kai Watch on you." Bubble Beth lifted Twilight's hoof out of the water, revealing the water-soaked watch. "Well, in that case, I should repay you for finding my little sister, Little Blue Bathing Hood." She drove her other hand into the water and pulled out a Yo-kai Medal of herself. "Here you go. I'm sure that you'll be able to find a use for this somewhere down the line."

"A Yo-kai Medal? Thanks!" Twilight took the medal out of Bubble Beth's hands with her horn's aura.

"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Can I give her my medal as well, big sis?" Little Blue Bathing Hood asked with a jubilant smile on her face.

"Well, I don't see why not." Bubble Beth gave a smile as she shrugged.

"Yay! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Little Blue Bathing Hood tossed her medal out of the bath, with it landing on Twilight's head shortly after. Another aura from Twilight's horn scooped up the falling medal before it tumbled back into the water.

"Two Yo-kai Medals and all I did was have a bath. The wonders of having a Yo-kai Watch, huh?" Twilight looked down at the two medals of Bubble Beth and Little Blue Bathing Hood. "Take care now, you two. I'll be sure to call you if I need you, alright?"

Both of the Yo-kai nodded their heads before they vanished in another cloud of purple smoke. As soon as they did, the bubbles went away, leaving nothing but an empty bath and the ponies still inside of it. Twilight was the first to clamber out of the bath once the Yo-kai vanished.

As soon as Jibanyan snapped back to his senses and realised where he was, he let out a hearty scream, flailing his arms around as he careeened out of the bathtub, curling up in a ball by Mrs. Cake's feet. "I was given a bath! That's one of the worst crimes nyown to cat kind!"

"Well, technically, you decided to jump in as soon as Little Blue Bathing Hood worked her inspiriting magic on you, Jibanyan, so I hardly consider it a crime..." Whisper rolled his eyes. Mere seconds later, he was swatted into the wall by a cartoonishly large folding fan in Jibanyan's hands.

"Don't push your luck with me, Whisper..." Jibanyan's eyes flared as he looked at the battered pulp of white fluff that was once Whisper.

"Huh? What am I doing? And why was I doing it with the Cake Twins?" Pinkie Pie snapped back to reality next, climbing out of the bath with the babies in hoof. She gave them both back to Mrs. Cake before pulling the plug, letting the water drain out. "Well, whatever it was, I'm sure it was a blast. But, I think I'd better get back to baking those treats downstairs." She bounced off on her merry way. "Oh, hi, Twilight," she said as she went by.

"Ooo...kay?" Mrs. Cake looked on with confusion as Twilight gave her a pat on the back.

"Another problem solved, courtesy of the Yo-kai Watch." Twilight left the room behind. "Whisper, Jibanyan, come along now. We need to get back to the laboratory and see if we can upgrade this thing."

Mrs. Cake could still only watch as Twilight left, but the ghost-like Yo-kai that she had been friends with were invisible to her naked eye, save for a few wet footprints across the floor. Still looking on with a cocked brow, she could only stand there with her children and the bath. Still in a state of shock, wordless, she waddled out of the bathroom.


Back at the lab, Twilight set the Yo-kai Watch back down on the table. Once she did and the machine re-acquired the data for it, she took the two medals for Little Blue Bathing Hood and Bubble Beth, levitated them into her Yo-kai Medallium, then closed it up.

"Now that that's out of the way, let's get back to business. Step one. Figure out what the Yo-kai Watch really is made out of, so that we can identify what we can do to make it better." Twilight watched as the machine once again collected data on her Yo-kai Watch. Lines upon lines of computerised code came into view as she typed up a storm on the console's keyboard. "Scanning the ethereal energies in the Yo-kai Watch and cross-referencing it with the world's energy should be enough for me to discover a finite point of energy wherein the Yo-kai Watch gets its' power."

"Are you sure that your machines are up to the task? After all, Yo-kai technology's a cross-breed of Yo-kai energy and physical objects. At least, I'm pretty sure that's how I remember it when I read through Yopple Inc.'s overview of the Yo-kai Watch..." Whisper scratched his chin as Twilight remained focused on her work. "For all we know, nothing on this world could even register Yo-kai energy as a real thing..."

"Well, that's even more of a reason why this needs to be done. The more that we know about Yo-kai as a whole, the better understanding I'll have when trying to befriend them, band them all together to fight King Void, and just in general have a good roster of friends at my disposal to beat back the forces of evil when they do come knocking." Twilight heard a beeping noise coming from the machine. "Aha! Here we go. I've got something." Another quick series of types, and the machine finally showed a page consisting of Yo-kai matter in Equestrian language. "According to my analysis, the Yo-kai Watch's energy is a physio-metaphysical fusion."

"In english?" Jibanyan deadpanned, folding his stubby little paws over each other.

"Basically, the essence of all Yo-kai is physical, yet ethereal and otherworldly at the same time, psuedo-weaved together so that anyone can touch and feel a Yo-kai, but nobody can see them unless they have a Yo-kai watch. Invisible, but still there for the taking." Twilight put more and more commands into her machine. "So now, let's see just how much of that power it takes for the Yo-kai Watch to summon a friend of mine." Twilight flipped the medallium opened and went through all of her medals. "Let's see... How about you, Whisper?"

"Twilight, in what world do you think that I would make a suitable candidate for Yo-kai Watch testing? I mean, there are a plethora of others that you could use for this..." Whisper put his hands by his hips. Or what he thought were his hips. "If anything, I volunteer Jibanyan for this little experiment of yours."

"Nyeah, right! You're just trying to get out of this aren't you, Whisper?" Jibanyan leapt on top of Whisper, dragging him down to the ground. "Don't listen to that nyumbskull, Twilight. He's a perfect candidate for you testing out the Yo-kai Watch."

"Hmm... Now that I think about it, better to go with a simple Yo-kai first. Maybe Buhu. Haven't really used her in a while." As Twilight looked over at her medallium, she plucked out Buhu's medal, only to find that it had turned into a small graham cracker before her very eyes. "Wh-what?!" Twilight jumped into the air at the sight of the cracker, dropping it to the ground. "Did either of you see that just now?"

"See what, Twilight?" Jibanyan's voice came out, but Sunset and Sci-Twi stood in place of both him and Whisper.

"Wh-what the heck? Sunset? Sci-Twi? When did you get here?" Twilight scurried back another couple of steps, trying to make sense of what was going on. She looked down and saw the floor turn to ice, so her body kicked in and transmitted to her brain that the floor was slippery, prompting her to fall on her face. Small birds flew around her head as she tried to come back to reality.

"Twilight? Twilight, are you alright? Speak to us!" Whisper hurried over to her side to try and pick her up.

From Twilight's side of view, she saw a giant quesadilla looking at her in the face with a large cheesy jaw grinning down at her. She screamed as loud as she could, equipped the Yo-kai Watch, and loudly proclaimed "Come on out, Impass! Yo-kai Medal! Do your thing!"

Summoning Tough!

Gruff stuff!
Rough Bluff!
Red band, Jacket stand! Bling-blang, Tough!

Impass stood before Twilight and what she thought was the quesadilla, cowering behind the wall-like Yo-kai, she whimpered for her life.

"What's the matter, Twilight?" Impass asked. "All I see out there is Jibanyan and Whisper. Nothing really scary to worry about."

"They're a big quesadilla monster! So... gooey and cheesy... it's scary!" Twilight moaned, refusing to move from behind Impass's wall. "I'm counting on you to fight it until it goes away, Impass!"

"Well... okay then." Impass rolled his eyes, then trudged forward towards Whisper and Jibanyan before delivering a powerful swat to both of them, beating them to the ground. "Alright, Twilight. You can come out now. That quesadilla monster as you put it is long gone.

Twilight took a big sigh of relief and walked out from behind Impass. "Thanks, Impass. You're a real friend. I knew I could count on—" Twilight took another look and saw that Whisper and Jibanyan laid on the ground, with their faces buried into the floor "—gah! What happened?!"

"Well, it's plain and simple. You're being inspirited by some guy named Illoo." Impass pointed over his shoulder. "Take a look. Guy's right there and he's just as mischievious as ever..."

Twilight pointed her Yo-kai Watch in the direction of where Impass was pointing. Sure enough, a bird-like Yo-kai with a green outfit, clouds floating around him, and a small cane appeared when she directed the lens and light at him.

"Illoo?" Twilight cocked a brow as she looked into the eyes of the bird-like Yo-kai.

"Illoo's a master of illusion. And a rather devious one at that..." Whisper pulled himself out of the ground, pulled out his Yo-kai Pad and looked up Illoo on it. "According to my Yo-kai Pad, those that get inspirited by Illoo end up seeing illusions; things that they think are there, when in reality, they're not. They made you believe a lot of crazy things just happened when nothing changed at all in this room, Twilight."

"Well, except for the fact that you freaked out, summoned Impass and totally clobbered the two of us..." Jibanyan moaned, pushing out his back. A small cracking noise came out of him as he pushed his back into its' proper alignment. "I hope there's a good chiropracter in the Yo-kai World, because it's gonna take a while to fix this up..."

"Oh... Oh dear. I'm so sorry about that, guys. I... I don't know what came over me." Twilight rubbed her head. She shook it, then focused her attention onto Illoo. "Well, in any case, I know what's about to come over me. Impass? You mind if you take this for me?"

"Got it. A little rockslide should send him scurrying..." He rubbed his hands together, then threw them out, causing a cascade of rocks to fall upon Illoo, who simply disappeared in another puff of smoke. When Impass turned around, he saw Illoo standing right behind him, so delivered a powerful punch to him, knocking Illoo into the wall.

"Nngh... You're strong, princess." Illoo used the cane to stand himself back up. "But still... not strong enough."

"Says the bird who's trying to get up." Twilight grinned.

"Who says that I was a bird?" Illoo cackled, before the illusion fell, revealing Cutta-Nah for a second before he and his floppy sword-like body collapsed and faded in a puff of Yo-kai smoke.

"You're quite entertaining, young one. I must say, I've never had my illusions be so flexible before." Illoo's voice drifted throughout the room. "Usually, the people I inspirit see one thing, then decide that it's the truth. But here you are, really stretching my limits. How clever."

"Illoo... why are you doing this to me?" Twilight asked, looking around the room for the Yo-kai in question.

"Simple. I just want a good laugh. And quite frankly, my dear, you are providing." He popped up in front of Twilight's face, making her launch herself to the ceiling. She flew so fast that she banged her head and floated down to the floor. "For real. I can't remember the last time I've had such fun at watching my illusions work their magic."

"Wait... So you're telling me that all of this. This whole stuff. Making me see things that I didn't want to see for as long as I lived, didn't want to think about at all, and would cause me nothing but suffering and grief, is FUNNY?!" Twilight snarled as her horn billowed steam.

"Oh, absolutely. And it's still going on, my dear!" Illoo turned to dust as Twilight fired a beam of magic at him. "Oh ho ho ho... You're a riot, you know that?" His laughter echoed as Twilight fired beam after beam around the room, leaving nothing but small ash marks in her wake as she tried to find Illoo's hiding spot. In the end, she coated her entire laboratory in destructive trails, blackening the place from top to bottom.

"And with that, I believe I shall take my leave." He clapped his hands, causing a Yo-kai Medal to drop from the sky and land before her. "Here. Take it. Proof that you've made an old bird smile today with your little freak-outs. If you ever need my help to put someone in an illusory state, you know who to call."

Twilight took some time to breathe as she picked up Illoo's Yo-kai Medal. As she looked at it, she examined the room. Or rather, what had become of it after her little warpath. Impass had fled the scene, and Whisper and Jibanyan were still shaking behind the device that she had been using to examine the watch. Another reminder that there was a great evil stirring inside of her, and one that made her hang her head low as she looked at herself.

"I... I can't keep this up if I'm just gonna hurt everyone." Twilight said to herself as her hooves began to tremble. "One after another, I feel like things are just getting worse for me. "I'm gonna turn into Midnight again sooner or later."

"Oh... Twilight. You mustn't keep putting yourself down like this. You're only going to become Midnight by thinking that you'll become her. Just... try to think about something else."

"Like what? The fact that my lab's in tatters, the fact that I was just tormented by a Yo-kai for his own benefit, and I now feel like I've just wasted valuable time?" Twilight tried to think of words, but nothing came to mind. "Sorry. I'm just too angry to think about anything right about now. Let's just leave this until tomorrow, alright?" Twilight blew some steam out of her nose and took the Yo-kai Watch with her as she left the room. "I need something to calm my nerves..."
