Slime Everywhere

Don' Yokuna Yokubo:

With my magic, I can see everything through the eyes of the hosuto. I smile when I see Doro Monsuta pick up the tiny Green Emerald Ninja. He struggles inside Doro Monsuta's massive black arm as he sinks deeper and deeper inside.

"Do not forget about my reward," I say, speaking to Doro Monsuta.

"Doro Monsuta," Doro Monsuta moans as he brings the Green Emerald Ninja to his face. Still struggling, Green Emerald Ninja can't do anything as the slime around him starts to move. It sinks around him, pulling the Green Emerald Ninja deeper in while also searching for the emerald dragon.

"Soon, it will be min--What, wait!"

Sinking to the point where only one arm and his head are above the black slime, a chain shoots out from the side and wraps around the Green Ninja's arm.

"No," I scream. "Doro Monsuta, quickly! Destroy that chain!"

"Doro Monsuta," Doro Monsuta moans as he raises his other arm. He slams it back down toward the Green Ninja but before Doro Monsuta can hit him, he is pulled away, disappearing into the trees.

"Where did he go?"

Through Doro Monsuta's eyes, I look around the park but can't find the Green Emerald Ninja anywhere. Or the Red Rose Ninja.

"Find them immediately," I order. "Find them and bring me those magical jewels. Now!"

Doro Monsuta moans once more as he searches through the trees, pushing away all the leaves.

Emica Kana:

Watching from a distance as Doro Monsuta searches through the trees, I turn around and jump from branch to branch. Using my chigiriki, the chain wrapping around another tree branch, I swing down, landing on the ground besides Akio.

"Akio," I start, "Are you okay? Akio! Akio? Can you hear me?"

"Please give me a moment," Akio answers, scratching the sides of his head. "I have some slime on my ears."

"Eww," Noon says, flying back. I step back too as Akio throws the black slime away. When Akio is finished, and can hear again, he pushes himself onto his feet.

"Thank you for saving me," Akio says, shaking off the rest of the slime. Again, I have to step back but once Akio is clean, I step back.

"What's going on," I ask.

"It's Don' Yokuna Yokubo," Akio answers. "He had summoned another dakura tchingu and this time, it had taken over a little boy."

"Where is the dakura tchingu hiding?"

"In the mask."

"In the mask?"

Both Noon and I turn around to look at the giant slime monster as he keeps searching through the trees.

"Doro Monsuta," the slim monster moans as he rips out a whole tree and swallows it.

"Hey Emica," Noon says, still staring at Doro Monsuta. "Just to be sure. You don't see a mask, do you?"

"No," I answer, shaking my head. Noon and I turn back to Akio.

"I don't see a mask."

Nemo Farid:

"The mask must be buried underneath all the slime," I answer, "Somehow, you and Emica have to get rid of all of it before you can grab my monster mask and destroy it."

"Excuse me," Akio says, putting up a finger before stepping back. A few feet from Emica, Akio leans in close to me.

"How are Emica and I supposed to get rid of all that black slime," he whispers. "What? Are we just going to wash it away?"

"I don't know," I answer with a shrug.

Despite Akio's green ninja mask, I can still see his V-shaped eyebrows.

"What? I don't have any idea at the moment."

Akio sighs and shakes his head as he returns to Emica. I roll my eyes as I hover behind him.

"My hosuto tells me that the mask with the dakura tchingu must be underneath all the black slime covering Doro Monsuta. To get the mask and destroy it, we somehow have to get rid of all the slime first."

Emica turns and looks at Doro Monsuta as he picks up a few more trees and eats them.

"How are we supposed to do that," Emica asks.

"My hosuto doesn't have any idea," Akio answers. He turns slightly to look at me. I answer with another shrug of my shoulders.

"Does your hosuto have any idea?"

Emica turns to her side and talks with her invisible hosuto. Akio and I watch them whisper among each other. Eventually, Emica turns back to Akio.

"She doesn't have any idea either," Emica says. As Emica says this, I hear Akio take a deep breath through his nose. He then let out a big sigh.

"Wonderful," he says, shaking his head again. I try to bump Akio with my elbow but my elbow goes right through his arm.

"Instead," Emica says, "My hosuto is saying...behind you? Behind you!"

Emica pointing right behind Akio, he and I turn around to see Doro Monsuta pushing away the leaves.

"He found us," I shout. "Watch out!"

The second Doro Monsuta finds us, he moans his name and raises his arm high into the air. Swinging it down, Akio and Emica run. They run and run until Doro Monsuta's arm hits the ground. As it does, black slime shoots off of Doro Monsuta's arm and into the air, and once more, it rains slime.

"Incoming," I shout, flying behind Akio and Emica. Hearing my warning, Akio turns around and sees the raining slime. Grabbing Emica's hand, he pulls her close in.

"Watch out," Akio says. Emica turning around herself, sees the raining slime. Wasting no time, Emica pulls out her chain while Akio pulls out his dual wooden swords. Together, the two destroys slimeballs as they fall. Jumping and flipping through the air, Akio swings his wooden swords left, right, up, and down while Emica twists and turns with her chain, spinning it in all and every direction.

I watch as the two destroy countless slimeballs, turning them into nothing more than tiny droplets. As Akio and Emica keep destroying the raining slimeballs, I remember something important. Turning around, I see Doro Monsuta pulling himself closer and closer to them.

"Oh no," I say, quickly flying to Akio's side. "Akio! Akio!"

"I'm busy," Akio yells, dodging a falling slimeball and then destroying another one. "What is it?"

"Doro Monsuta," I answer. "He's getting closer and closer! Look!"

I turn around and point to the incoming Doro Monsuta as he pulls himself toward the four of us. Doro Monsuta is still some distance away but after another pull, he swings his arm and shoots out more black slimes. The afternoon sky turns even blacker as it rains more slimeballs. The slimeballs hit anything and everything; cars, trees, buildings, even some people. No here is spared. 

"Emica," Akio shouts, lowering his wooden swords. Sheathing one of them, Akio grabs Emica's hand and pulls her away. The two of them run out of the park and onto the street. However, they don't get very far into the street.

Emica screams as she accidentally steps into a puddle of black slime. It grabs her foot and pulls her in.

"I'm stuck," Emica screams. She tries to pull her foot out but can't.

"Hold on," Akio says. He sheathes his other wooden sword and takes Emica's hand with both of his. "Okay. I got you. Are you ready?"

Emica nods her head. Once Akio sees this, he pulls and pulls until finally, Emica is free. Stumbling forward a bit, Akio catches Emica in his arms.

Akio Hisashi:

As I hold Emica in my arms, I feel my chest heating up. I feel Emica's smooth skin on my hands. As I look into Emica's beautiful red eyes, I lost all my breath. All of this, this feeling, reminds me of ancient days, before Emica and I became spirits.

Oscar Almo:

"This is so awesome," I say while hiding behind a wall. Holding up my phone and filming, I capture everything. I capture the slime monster as it makes it rain slime. I capture the Green Emerald Ninja and the Red Rose Ninjas as they run away from the slime monster. I even manage to capture the moment where the Red Rose Ninja's foot gets stuck and the Green Emerald Ninja pulls her free and now, the two are holding each other.

Getting the right angle, and making sure the two ninjas are in the center, I cry out when something grabs me. Turning around, I see Clarie pulling and dragging me.

"Hey," I shout, struggling to break free. "What are you doing? You're messing up the frame!"

"Film later," Clarie says, "Run now!"

"We're safe here," I say. Claire looks at me with crossed arms. She shakes her head and sighs.

"Okay. Whatever. Have you seen Nemo anywhere?"

"No, but I have no doubt he's okay. After all, the Green Emerald Ninja and Red Rose Ninja are here! They'll keep us safe!"

Hearing an earth-shaking roar, Clarie and I look up to see the slime monster rising from the tree. He opens his mouth wide and begins throwing up. As the slime monster throws up, a wave of black slime rushes out. Like a tidal wave, it washes over the trees and onto the street. In less than a minute, practically the whole street is covered in slime.

"We're safe here," Clare repeats, looking at me. "Uh? Do you want to say that again?"

"Talk later," I say, getting a few final shots. "Run now."

Claire nods her head and together, we run further down the street.

Noon Encarnacion:

"Jump," I yell. Hovering as I watch Emica and Akio jump onto the roof of cars to avoid the flash flood of black slime, I hear another roar and turn away. Doro Monsuta is pushing himself toward the two again, but this time, it looks like he's moving faster!

"Oh come on," I shout, slapping myself in the head with my ghostly hand. "The black slime must have somehow greased up the street, making it easier for Doro Monsuta to pull himself."

Turning around, I see Emica and Akio jumping from car to car, with Doro Monsuta quickly approaching them.

"Come on," I say, looking around. "Think! Think! Idea! We need an idea! Think! According to Akio's host, the dakura tchingu is hiding in a mask! But the problem is the mask is buried underneath all that disgusting black slime, and in order to get the mask, we need to somehow wash the slime away! But how? How are we supposed to wash the slime away..."

As I swing and shake my arms around, I see something nearby that can help us. Stuck in the slime, the tire begins covered, it's immovable. However, the top of it looks very clean.

"Wash the slime away," I repeat. "Wash the slime away. Yes!"

Looking around for Emica, I see her swinging onto the top of a building. Not wasting a second, I fly to her as fast as I can.

"Emica," I shout, "I got an idea! Look!"

Emica running to where I am, looks over the ledge.

"What," she asks. "What am I looking at?"

"That," I answer, pointing at the street below. "Emica, turn your head slightly to your right. Keep going. Keep going. Stop!"

"What, that? That big red car? How is that supposed to help us?"

"Easy. For starters, it's not just a big red car."
