(In a desert floating above the void…)

Natsuki: (crash-landing amongst the sand) “OOF! Ow.”

(Natsuki quickly gets up and is immediately shocked by where she is.)

Natsuki: “…WAIT JUST A SECOND! Where on Earth am I?”

(Just then, something speeds by her - it looks like a buggy.)

Natsuki: “The heck?”

(Natsuki immediately follows the buggy to see where it’s headed. It appears to be some sort of camp.)

Natsuki: “Hmm…maybe I should look at what’s going on in there…”

(At that minute, a small glimmer catches Natsuki’s eye.)

Natsuki: “Huh?”

(Natsuki dusts the sand off, and spots a strange-looking golden medal. It sports the shape of a crescent moon-like helmet decoration amidst a red background. Beneath the medal is ancient text that roughly translates to “Insignia of the Brave tribe”. After a few minutes, Natsuki uncovers 4 more medals, each belonging to a different “tribe” - Mysterious, Tough, Heartful, and Eerie. The Mysterious tribe’s emblem is a curved swirl shaped like a question mark amidst a yellow background. The Tough tribe’s emblem is a fist amidst an orange background. The Heartful tribe’s emblem is a uneven five petal flower amidst a green background. Finally, the Eerie tribe’s emblem has a shape of an eye amidst a purple background.)

Natsuki: “Woah… these medals are really old, but they look so interesting. I wonder what they’re for.”

(Eventually, Natsuki uncovers a few more ancient text, this time translating to - “8 legendary Yo-kai known to the world, their original homes lost to times.

The Brave tribe legend - Shogunyan - dwells in a Japanese-styled temple.

The Mysterious tribe - Komashura - legend dwells in a canyon.

The Tough tribe legend - Gilgaros - roams cities during Terror Time.

The Charming tribe legend - Spoilerina - dwells in a theatre.

The Heartful tribe legend - Elder Bloom - dwells amongst cherry blossoms.

The Shady tribe legend - Poofessor - dwells in a now-abandoned school.

The Eerie tribe legend - Dandoodle - dwells in the top floor of a mansion.

Lastly, the Slippery tribe legend - Slurpent - dwells in the mountains.”.)

Natsuki: (reading the legends) “I’ve never heard of these Yo-kai before…”

(Natsuki continues reading the legends with curiosity.)

Natsuki: “It seems like each tribe has its own legendary Yo-kai. I wonder if these medals are somehow connected to them. And if so, why are they here? And where is here exactly?”

(Natsuki ponders for a moment, then decides to explore the camp to gather more information. As she approaches the camp, she notices a group of people gathered around a bonfire. They seem to be discussing something animatedly.)

Natsuki: “Maybe I can ask them about these Yo-kai and the medals. They might have some answers.”

(Natsuki cautiously approaches the group and overhears snippets of their conversation.)

Person 1: “I heard that the Yo-kai legends are true! They possess incredible powers and can grant wishes.”

Person 2: “Yeah, but it’s not easy to find them. You need those ancient medals to summon them.”

Person 3: “I’ve been searching everywhere for an Espy. If I could get my hands on one, I could fuse both it and my Mirapo to create Miradox, and then finally summon Shogunyan.”
