Yokai Rein By Marioking

Unexpected Change

???:Do you have any idea how long it took to find you I thought you got ate!
Aspen slowly got up and he thought"this girl is insane"
The woman started walking towards red and she had pulled out another knife from her pouch she had on the side of her hip. She was getting ready to stab Red.
Aspen:woah! Woah! Calm down why'd you even kill him what he do?!
???:Huh? Who are you?
The woman looked to Aspen looking confused.

Then when Aspen looked over to Red his eyes widened as he saw flame strings coming out of Red's neck and connecting to his severed head.
Red:don't be scared Aspen I'm still alive.
Red's head eventually attached back to his body and he stood up and he looks over to the pink woman.
Red:I'm at so sorry Damica, I totally forgot to let you know I was just helping our new ally out and I accidentally forgot to let you know I'm alive and well.

Damica:hmm, alright your forgiven now, you said new ally right!
Damica sounded excited and she turned to Aspen who was completely shocked and mind blown and she ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

Damica:New ally welcome to the team!
Aspen was caught of guard making him push her off and as he did she started to levitate in the room.
Damica:Hey I was just giving you a warm welcome!

Aspen stepped back and he looked at the two with utter awe.
Aspen:You two have powers.
He sounded calm but in the inside he was completely shocked and excited powers exist.
Damica:Huh? Red did you tell him?
Red:I was just getting to it until my head was sliced off.
Damica:Oh yeahhhh, well since interrupted I will explain these powers!

Aspen:Actually I have a unrelated question I need an answer to first.
Damica:and what's that?
Aspen:Why do you have your boobs pretty much out?
Red spit in his coffee his was drinking and he put it down quickly as he coughed
Red:That's your question?!

Damica:I have them out because I want to! I can feel the suns warmth and the airs breeze it just feels amazing so that's why.
Red:oh that's why.
Damica:what did you think I was doing it for red?
Red:Well I'd rather not say.

Aspen:I kind of thought that she was one of those girls that plays basketball but plays as the ball.
Damica:what do you mean by that?
Red:I don't think you want to know.

Damica then slowly landed on the floor with her two feet and she grabbed three chairs and set up a triangle shaped circle with the chairs facing the middle. The three sat down on the chairs, with Damica sitting leaning forward placing her palms on her own thighs, red sitting up holding his own hands and Aspen leaning back crossing his arms.

Damica:Okay let me explain this, these powers us spirits possess depends on who we were as a person and how we died. For example I have the power to manipulate my own gravity, and but it only works depending on how enthusiastic I am . Then reds ability is that he can reattach his own body having a string of fire, In some circumstances we can use that to our advantage.
As for you ermmmm.

Aspen:it's Aspen.
Damica:Aspen, how did you die and who are you as a person?
Aspen:I bled out after having my torso chomped off and well i'm not mentally prepared to answer that question
Damica:Ha! I know that, no one who's young truly knows who they are! Besides your power probably has something to do with blood!

Red:I'm sorry but aren't you technically younger than him?
Damica:what do you mean how old is Aspen?
Red:I think he said 24 and I right?
Aspen:Yep great memory you have.
Aspen said this sarcastically.
Damica:so he may technically be a year older but in reality I'm way older than him.

Aspen:okay before I even get into that conversation. If we can use powers then why don't we use them to kill the Yokai.
Red:Well that's because Yokai would only be temporarily be stunned, if it were as easy to use our powers than we would've been done with this job years ago.
Damica:exactly our katanas are the only weapons that can actually cleanse Yokai.

Aspen:You guys seem to know a lot about them? So what even are yokai are they demons?
Damica:Technically in a way they are, but they are much more deadly they are basically corrupt spirits that hunt on the souls of humans, though they weren't always here in New York. They were actually from Japan.

Aspen:Japan? The hell is that?
Red:well Japan was a small country that consisted of futuristic technology that was ahead of its time. It was where Anime.
Aspen:Anime you mean One piece came from Japan? Then what happened to it?

Damica:the same thing that will happen to this country if we don't kill all the yokai, the Yokai will grow stronger and bigger, and they will both eat and crush every living thing. Only this time it will be the whole world.
Aspen:Holy...If they are capable of doing that, then what makes you thing a couple of crazy people who are willing to do this, can manage to defeat every single one of them.

Red:Well it's better to do something than do nothing and watch our family and friends get eaten right.
Damica:Besides if we die then we go out as heroes!
Aspen:Jesus. Well I guess either way we will die so I suppose at least fighting those sons of bitches is our only option.

Red:exactly, and I will do anything to save my son from those monsters.
Aspen:Your a dad? How old are you?
Red:Me? Oh I'm 31
Damica:wow your getting old.
Red:we don't age remember. I've been like this for 8 years.
Aspen:well that answers that, now when do I get my own katana?

Damica: well you have to come with us first to meet our sensei.
She says dramatically
Aspen:why'd you say it like that?
Damica:because he prefers it if we say it like that.
Red:yeah I'll go explain everything to him.
Aspen:wait doesn't he have a phone?

Damica:unfortunately, sensei likes sticking to old fashion technology.
Red:Yeah so I'll be gone for a while, make yourself at home.

Red stands up and he puts on his red jacket and he leaves his apartment room. Leaving Aspen and Damica alone.
Aspen reaches into his back pocket and he pulls outs rolled up weed stick. And he sees a lot up candle Red had and he uses it to light the weed.
Damica:whatcha doing Cappy?

Aspen inhaled and exhaled the Weed puffing out some smoke and taking it his mouth.
Aspen:Oh thank god I can still get high. And did you just call me cappy?
Damica:Yep I'm trying to give you a nickname!
Aspen:Well don't we're not friends just Allie's,  Comrades, whatever but we aren't friends got that, pinky.

Damica:If that's the case why'd you just give me a nickname huh?
She giggled a bit teasing him.
Aspen:shut up, and what I'm doing is calming my nerves. I just learned that it's either I die fighting or die hiding so I definitely need one right now.
Damica:you know there are better ways to calm down your nerves than doing that, red will be angry you did that too.

Aspen turns around facing Damica looking down at her.
Aspen:and what's that.
Damica stands up and she goes over to Aspen grabbing his arm and dragging outside to the fire escape outside Reds window. Aspen looked at Damica.

Aspen:How is this going to make me calm my nerves sure the view is good and all but that's it.
Damica:what if you float around for a while?
Aspen:uh what?
Damica grabs Aspens and and she jumped up the fire escape and she flies up high up until she and Aspen can see the whole city. Aspen was very nervous looking down.

Aspen:uhhh, are you sure we'll be okay if we need to go down.
Damica:Don't worry about it! I've done this many times as long as you hold my hand you will be as light as me!
Aspen:Alright that's a good mental note and your crazy for going this high up.
Damica:Ha I know but the view is breathtaking isn't it.

Aspen looks throughout the whole city of New York, Aspen felt light, and free. He thought to himself"if only I could show my aunt this view"

Aspen looked to Damica who was smiling and laughing looking at the view.
Damica:This is what I love about my power!
Aspen:Of course you know this doesn't automatically make us friends right.
Damica:I know but I thought I'd show you this view anyways you needed like you needed it.

Aspen:Yeah I guess your right about that.
