Chapter 2: Discovered
Ember tapped her foot impatiently as Skulker and Technus were arguing about where a portal would soon appear to the human world. "Make up your minds already!" A faceless ghost snapped at them.
Ember saw Amorpho was feeling as impatient as she was. "Where do you think this portal they're talking about it is going to show up, Amorpho?" She asked.
"I honestly don't know, and I'm beginning to not care as I'm tired of hearing those two outdated computers arguing over it," the faceless ghost said.
Ember was about to power up her guitar and use it to make the two bickering ghosts shut up when she noticed something nearby. "Guys!" She yelled sharply, getting their attention. "Look," she said a bit more softly.
The three male ghosts turned and gasped in alarm.
A ghost, female from the looks of it, was floating near them, her long white hair had blue streaks in it and looked very tangled while her clothing consisted of a black shirt with bluish-white lightning streaks on it and navy blue jeans with matching sneakers. Her skin was a light blue almost white in color. Ectoplasmic energy was still gathered around her like an aura.
"She's a new ghost," Amorpho said in amazement.
"How do you know that?" Ember asked him.
"A new ghost always has a shield of ectoplasmic energy that disappears after they've woken up," he explained. "But where she still has it, that means she hasn't yet woken up."
"Which means Walker will be after her," Skulker said in realization.
"Why would Walker come after a sleeping ghost?" Technus asked curiously.
"Because new ghosts are powerless against a seasoned ghost like Walker," said Amorpho as he floated up to the new ghost and gently grabbed her arm.
"But if she has the ectoplasmic shield, doesn't that protect her?" Skulker asked.
"Not from ectoplasmic blasts or other attacks," said the faceless ghost. "She's as helpless as a newborn human right now."
"And Walker often patrols around here," said Technus. "We need to get out of here."
"But what do we do about her?" Skulker asked, gesturing to the new ghost that Amorpho had now gathered into his arms. "We already know what Walker does to us, but he could do anything to her with her being defenseless."
Ember then had a sudden thought. "What about the Clocktower?" She asked.
The three males looked at her with disbelief. "Are you crazy? The most powerful ghost aside from Pariah Dark lives there!" Technus exclaimed fearfully.
"Exactly," said Ember. "If we left her with him, Walker wouldn't dare go after her, would he?"
Amorpho looked down at the ghost in his arms. "She might have a point," he said. "No ghost would dare try to cross weapons with Clockwork."
"Not with him able to erase their existence," Skulker said with a shudder.
"Exactly," Ember said again. "She'll be safe from Walker."
The other three nodded in agreement and the four quickly flew towards the Clocktower. "It might be best not to disturb him," said Technus. "We might anger him."
"What if we left her on the doorstep?" Amorpho asked. "Clockwork can see us."
"And he'll know we're afraid to face him," said Skulker.
Ember nodded. "I'd rather not face him," she said. "Lean her against the door. That way she won't fall when she wakes up."
Gently, Amorpho did so and when they were sure the new ghost wouldn't fall, the four quickly flew away.
Inside the Clocktower, Clockwork watched the time screens, feeling amused as the four ghosts quickly retreated after leaving the new ghost on his doorstep. He then frowned as he turned to another time screen and saw Danny Fenton struggle to control his new powers, which kept causing him trouble, especially if his parents noticed, which somehow, thankfully, they didn't.
Clockwork had seen the boy enter the portal and turn into a half-ghost and he had seen the new ghost form as well, but she hadn't woken up yet, but he knew she would soon.
"She will be called…Genesis," he said to himself as he continued watching the time screens, waiting for the new Observant, who would no doubt notice the new ghost, to come pay him a visit.
Which would be any moment now.
