The Defenders

Chapter 1: A Friendly Hunter?

On the outskirts of Amity Park, a nameless ghost was blasted by a person in a red tech suit. The general outfit was a red jumpsuit with a cybernetic vest and gloves, a utility belt containing several small canisters, and his face was hidden by a helmet resembling a combat pilot's helmet. Strange thing was, this individual seemed no older than 14.

"We should have never moved here." The figure said, voice clearly male, as the ghost collapsed in on itself, "But I didn't say anything. No look at me, I'm up to my eyes in ghosts!" Just then, a beeper on the right glove went off, "What now?" He looked up and pressed a button on the side of his helmet and zoomed in on a female ghost in a two piece black and white outfit, the right of her side of her shirt is inverted, her right arm is white and her glove is black and her left arm is black and her glove is white. As typical, her legs were a ghost tail. Her hair is white and eyes green. "No scan of evil energy, guess she's a good ghost. Sure is flying fast though, almost as if she was being chased."

"Get back here ghost!" A female voice said. The voice came from a ghost hunter on a rocket board.

"That's a ghost hunter!" The male on the ground said, "She'll destroy that ghost." A set of energy based wings appeared on his back on he took flight after the ghost and ghost hunter, "I have to stop her!"

"You're mine now ghost." The ghost hunter said locking a large laser cannon on the ghost.

"You leave that one alone!" The male said cutting the laser cannon in half with an energy saw. The male tech user positioned himself in between the ghost and ghost hunter. The female ghost stopped flying when she noticed this. No way, she thought, he looks like another ghost hunter, but he's fighting her. They probably are fighting over who actually gets me.

"What are you doing?" The female ghost hunter asked, "Don't you know what you're doing? Who do you think you are?"

"I know exactly what I am doing; I'm saving an innocent being." The guy said, "As for whom I am, I am a blade against evil spirits, and a shield for the just ones. I am Striker."

"A shield for just spirits?" The ghost hunter asked, "There are no such things as good ghosts."

"It is such a shame when one thinks that way." Striker said after a deep sigh, "It's people like you who ruin my family's name and what we do with the ghost world."

"So I take it you won't let me at the ghost?"

"Exactly, if you want her, you'll have to go through me, and from your suit's data," Striker said activating a scanner in his helmet, "It doesn't stand a chance against me."

"Yeah right! Take this!" The ghost hunter fired a ecto blaster. Striker just raised his hand and blocked the blast. The energy almost seemed to be stored in the glove as a cannon formed around it.

"Recalibrating energy frequency." Striker said quietly, "Aaaannnddd…I believe this is yours!" Striker fired a ball of energy from the cannon knocking the ghost hunter back and sending her to the ground. Striker turned to the ghost, "You should go now, that energy attack won't keep her down for" Striker, having never turned his scanner off, noticed weird readings coming off her. This isn't right, she's not reading like a standard ghost. I've never seen anything like this before.

"Um are you okay?" The female ghost asked. Striker quickly shook his head.

"Yeah I'm fine." Striker said as a missile came and struck him from behind. Followed by the reappearance of the ghost hunter.

"Did you really think I'd go down so simply?" She asked.

"Great. Listen, I can take this girl, you get out of here and get to safety." Striker said.

"But…" the ghost began.

"Go!" Striker yelled firing a volley of shots. The female ghost took off as fast as she could. Within a few minutes, she found what she wanted, a seemingly normal building, except for a large metal addition on the roof with a large sign that said 'Fenton Works' on it.
