I'm making a Martin Mystery fanfic! But this time I'm going to be featuring some OCs of mine...I figure I would be more creative.
This one happens to be a witch. Don't worry, she doesn't turn people into toads. In fact, she's rather comical. She's not like that witch who was in one of the many episodes of this show.
Chapter 1: Stella Suspense
Stella groaned as she checked her purse. She needed to find a way to make some money fast. Her wallet was feeling rather light. She had long red hair and was dressed in black. She had yellow eyes.
Also, she happened to be a witch. However, she didn't have green skin. In fact, she looked rather cute. She was about sixteen years old.
If she didn't have money, how was she supposed to go shopping? Unfortunately, money didn't grow on trees...though there was a tree that made diamonds. Where was that?
At the moment, she was at school at Houdini Academy. However, she wasn't exactly known for being the best student. She'd been called to the principal's office a few times. Her principal was Professor Kedabra. He was a rather old man who carried a staff...or was it a cane?
Currently, she was standing over a cauldron, mixing potions at Dr. Sirpent's Class. Personally he reminded her of a snake. He was dressed in a black lab coat.
"Carefully mix the poti-"
BOOM!
The other students jumped in surprise, and turned to the source of the noise.
The potion mixing had not gone too well for Stella, who was now covered with soot. She blinked a few times.
"Aww..." said Stella. She thought she had that one for sure. Perhaps she needed to look through her textbook again.
"Don't say I didn't warn you." answered Dr. Sirpent. Why exactly was she one of his students again?
Fortunately, she didn't need to visit the nurse...though it was a bit traumatizing for her. She might as well join a demolition squad.
After school was over, she went back to her house, which was shaped like a witch's hat.
At her house was her cat Midnight. Of course, he was a black cat. He happened to have yellow eyes just like his owner.
"Meow!" exclaimed Midnight.
"Hey, Midnight." said Stella. It was nice to see her cat every time that she came home from school. He was simply adorable.
She decided to look through the newspaper to see if there was help wanted anywhere. If she was lucky she could find a decent-paying job.
As it turned out, there was a job at the Center.
"The Center? I've never heard of it." thought Stella.
She decided to read about it.
Apparently, it was dedicated to dealing with paranormal threats to the world. She decided to read more about it.
"P.S...we are not responsible for injuries, dismemberment, or death received on missions." read Stella.
Personally she thought that the job was exciting.
Besides, the job seemed to pay rather well. Of course, there was a job for ice cream, but that didn't seem so interesting. She happened to like children though.
She decided to give them a phone call.
"Hello?" asked Stella.
"Are you here to apply for our job at the Center?" inquired a voice on the other side. For some strange reason, it didn't sound human.
"Uh-huh." answered the witch.
"Good! We've been looking for new recruits! Our last few agents got swallowed whole!" exclaimed the voice on the other side.
"OK then!" shouted Stella.
"We'll send a portal so that you can head to the Center..." said the mysterious voice.
Stella nodded.
Shortly afterwards, a portal appeared on the ground.
Stella shrugged and jumped into it. How exactly did the Center make portals anyway? Did they cut a hole in the space-time continuum? That sounded dangerous.
She appeared shortly afterwards in what seemed to be a lab of some kind.
At that very moment, she was greeted by Billy, who as it turned out was a space alien. A small space alien who liked to fly around in a hovercraft.
He in fact wasn't always the small spaceman that he was today, but that was a story for another day. A rather terrifying story.
"Hey there!" exclaimed Billy.
"Wait, you're a space alien? I thought they only appeared in sci-fi movies...then again I'm a sorceress so what do I know?" inquired Stella.
"Yeah...I'm all the way from outer space." answered the alien.
"I wonder why we've never found life out in space..." questioned the witch.
"The Center did, eventually. If you're a witch, does that mean you'll melt if I splash you with water?" asked the alien.
"No, I do not. I like taking baths actually." answered the witch. She just so happened to have a rubber duck...though unlike most rubber ducks her rubber duck happened to be green with glowing red eyes.
"OK then!" exclaimed Billy. Wouldn't want to accidentally kill his new recruit by spilling soda on her.
"You remind me of Double D from Ed, Edd, and Eddy..." noted Stella.
"Whatever makes you say that?" inquired the small alien, who was now wearing a black hat that looked like a sock.
"Anyways...I suppose I should talk to the person in charge here. You said they were hiring, right?" asked the witch.
"Mm-hmm! MOM is right in her office! Why don't you talk to her there?" exclaimed Billy.
"Your mother is in charge of this organization?" asked Stella. She was starting to wonder if the Center was actually being run by aliens. If so, why were they hiring humans? They weren't concocting experiments on them, were there? She thought it would be better if her brain remained the exact same way it was.
"No, she's not." answered the alien.
"But you said-"
"Everyone calls her MOM!" exclaimed Billy.
"OK..." answered Stella. That was going to get confusing really quickly.
She decided to consult MOM in her office. Currently, she was examining a small pumpkin. A rather small pumpkin.
"I'm here regarding employment." said the sorceress.
"In a moment. I'm busy right now." answered MOM.
"Are you trying to make pumpkin pie? That's my favorite...but that seems like a small pumpkin...let me help you with that." stated Stella.
Stella pulled out her wand and made the pumpkin grow bigger.
"There we go!" exclaimed Stella.
MOM's eyes widened in surprise.
"That wasn't a pumpkin, it was an alien!" shouted MOM.
"What?" asked the witch.
Suddenly, the pumpkin sprouted tentacles and a face appeared on it. It had yellow eyes.
It began to run around the office, breaking several things.
"Huh...I wonder what its home planet is like..." questioned Stella. Was it one giant pumpkin patch? If she ever went to space maybe she should visit it sometime.
MOM groaned. It was bad enough that Martin Mystery did this whenever he stepped into her office, but now her too?
"My apologies!" exclaimed Stella.
MOM sighed. Now that she thought of it, that alien DID look like a pumpkin.
"I think you would be better off being one of our field agents. Typically our field agents work as trios...since you seem to be rather mischievous I'll have to make sure one of them can keep an eye on you..." said the lady.
"Like...who?" inquired Stella.
At that very moment, MOM pressed a button.
"Albert, can you come into my office, please?" inquired MOM.
Shortly afterwards, a teenage boy dressed in a lab coat wearing glasses and black hair stepped into the office.
"Yes?" questioned Albert.
"So far you've been flying solo, so you're going to be working with her from now on." answered MOM.
"Hey there!" exclaimed Stella.
"I don't know...she seems like a troublemaker." stated Albert. She was probably going to pull pranks on him.
"Which is exactly why you're going to be keeping an eye on her." said the woman in charge of the Center.
"Me?" asked the bespectacled teen.
"Yes, you." answered MOM.
Albert rubbed his hand behind his head. He wasn't sure if he was up for that.
"Didn't you say that we were going to be working as a trio?" inquired Stella Suspense.
"I've got that covered." stated the leader of the Center.
At that very moment, a teenage girl with short blonde hair stepped in. She was dressed entirely in white and was wearing white gloves. She had blue eyes.
For some strange reason, something seemed off about her.
"Greetings. My name is Sylvia." said the girl.
Stella wondered why she wasn't showing any emotion.
"Hello?" inquired Stella.
"Yes?" questioned Sylvia.
"Why is she so emotionless?" questioned the witch.
"Oh, that's because she's a robot I built." answered the teenage boy.
"Wait, she's a robot?" inquired Stella. Personally she was expecting a robot to look less...human.
Sylvia nodded. Instead of being made of flesh and blood, she was made out of metal and oil. Although, sometimes she wondered what it was like to be human.
"It seemed that everyone I knew thought of me as a geek, so I decided why not make my own company?" questioned Albert.
"I see..." nodded the witch.
"I am glad to meet you." said Sylvia, shaking Stella's hand.
Stella noted that Albert must be lonely if he had to built his own robot just to keep him company.
"Since Stella here is a fresh recruit, we're going to start off small. There's a ghost haunting a house in Denver. We're hoping that you could capture it and bring it to us. Most home insurances don't cover poltergeists." noted MOM.
"That's too bad." answered Stella. She didn't know the Ghostbusters' phone number so it looked like she couldn't call them. Of course, when was the last time her house had ever become haunted?
Another portal appeared.
"If you're a witch, does that mean you have a broomstick that you can use to fly?" inquired Albert.
"It sure beats using it to clean my room." answered Stella.
The trio stepped through the portal.
They found themselves at the haunted house.
It didn't seem like anyone was living inside it. Apparently, the house owner didn't want a ghost to be their housemate. It seemed like it had been abandoned for a while too.
"This house sure looks scary..." noted Albert.
"I know! Isn't it awesome?" asked Stella.
"That's not the term I would use..." said the scientist.
Sylvia scanned the house with her eyes. Her eyes turned green.
"What is Sylvia doing?" inquired Stella.
"Since she's a robot, I figure why not install her with some gadgets? I wanted to be creative..." said Albert.
As it turned out, she was scanning the house for signs of paranormal activity.
"Does she have X-Ray vision?" inquired Stella.
"Yes, she does. Why do you ask?" asked Albert.
"No reason." giggled the teenage girl.
Eventually, Sylvia finished scanning the house.
According to Sylvia, the ghost was sleeping on a bed. He was blue and had white, spherical eyes. He was also about the size of a pillow. Though he was a ghost, he didn't look too scary. He looked somewhat like a bed sheet.
"Zzz..." murmured the ghost.
As long as they didn't wake him up, it was going to be a simple mission.
Carefully, Stella, Albert, and Sylvia made their way in the house.
They then made their way to the bedroom, carefully opening the door.
The ghost snored.
"He doesn't look so dangerous..." murmured Stella.
"Well, obviously, but I think we should take him to the Center anyway. It's better for him to be there than in this house haunting it." answered Albert.
Suddenly, Stella sneezed.
"I swear, nose allergies are the mortal enemy of spies everywhere..." thought Stella.
"Huh?" inquired the ghost.
He stretched his arms and woke up from his nap.
"Darn it! He's awake!" exclaimed Albert.
The ghost looked at them, and realized that they were trying to capture him.
He decided he needed to make a break for it.
"Good thing I brought my broomstick." noted Stella.
"And it's a good thing I brought my jetpack..." answered Albert.
"I have my rocket boots..." said Sylvia.
Together, the three of them began to chase after the ghost.
However, he proved himself to be quick on his feet.
"Nah nah!" exclaimed the ghost, blowing raspberries. This game of cat and mouse was surprisingly fun. Maybe the cats in this situation would fall victim to slapstick comedy.
And yet, it didn't seem to occur to him that he could try leaving the house in order to escape.
They noticed that there were several doors nearby. They decided to chase the ghost through them.
Every time they went through one of the doors, they ended up coming through another one.
"This is confusing..." answered Stella.
Sure enough, the ghost was using those doors as well.
They decided to continue chasing the ghost through them. But for some strange reason, Stella, Albert, and Sylvia ended up chasing each other as well.
At one point, the ghost ended up chasing Albert.
"Wait, aren't I the one chasing you?" asked Albert.
"Whoops!" exclaimed the ghost.
"Well, if you want to get caught so badly..." answered the scientist.
The scientist pulled out a vacuum-like device and used it to swallow the ghost.
"I got him!" exclaimed Albert.
"Thank goodness...all these doors were making me dizzy." answered Stella.
"Let us report back to the Center." stated Sylvia.
The three of them headed back to the Center, where MOM was waiting for them.
"Did you capture the ghost?" inquired MOM.
"Yes..." answered Albert. He was still sealed up inside the vacuum-like machine he had made for catching ghosts.
"Good...we'll be taking him to our ghost containment unit..." stated the lady. He wouldn't be bothering anyone anymore.
Curious, Stella decided to investigate the ghost containment unit to see how many ghosts they had caught. They had captured quite a few, it seemed.
"Dang...I guess Spooky here isn't going to be lonely..." remarked Stella.
"Probably not." nodded Albert.
"Well, now that you've captured the ghost, it's time for you to head back home for the time being. We'll let you know if there are any more signs of the paranormal..." said MOM.
"Funny, I was expecting to face something more dangerous." answered the witch.
"Those are for our more experienced agents...for now, you'll be sticking to what you have been given..." stated the woman in charge of the Center.
"If you say so." stated Stella. How many paranormal creatures were there in the world anyway?
She went back home and decided to relax in her room. It looked like her life was going to be way different from now on.
Or maybe not. She was still going to go to school...even if her teachers didn't like her too much.
Let me know if you want Martin Mystery and his friends to appear in the fanfic. I know I could have made Martin Mystery the main character like in all those other fanfics but I figure I would be more original than that.
Of course, I did name Stella Suspense in a similar fashion to Martin Mystery himself. It seemed appropriate considering this takes place in the Martin Mystery universe.
Or maybe you'll want Stella Suspense to go on more adventures for the time being. That would work too.
