"Don't move!" the right thin knight said.

"Wait, I already saw you!" Daemona ranged her detector inside her suit and pointed at the knights, frowned eyebrows.

"Yeah yeah, you're that farcical intruder who never ceases to meddle with the affairs of our lord. And this time, we will walk right past you and your miserable subjects." The left bulky knight warned, lance at his hand.

"Miserable subjects?" Casey repeated, feeling insulted.

"Subjects? These are my coworkers and friends, If you're really that much straight to the point, I will not let you hurt them." Daemona warned, remaining brave.

"You don't understand, clown…" the thin knight began before getting interrupted.

"OK: clown, farcical, jester, stop it!" Daemona lifted her tone, hand pointing at her suit. "This is my outfit mission and I like it, don't use wicked names about my suit to describe me, I'm DAEMONA!"

"Anyways, that is not the point, we will really walk right PAST you!"

The two knights began to charge, Daemona and Casey put themselves in defense position, but in reality, the knights rounded them to make their way into the entrance.

"Oh no they will not!" Jericho stretched his hand out the windows towards the door, with green aura around him and shut the door closed.

The thin knight turned the handle of the entrance, without success.

"Witchcraft! The door is locked, we can't enter" he complained.

"Don't worry Lambequin, maybe we can't go through walls, but we can still fly." his bulky friend said, pointing the window where Daemona was climbing with the help of a blue and red ladder.

"Isn't it more witchcraft to make use to, Andreas?" Lambequin remarked.

"We are ghosts now, we can still perform our duty." Andreas said while nodding.

Daemona hurried herself to get into Amanda's room. Once she got there, with the help of Jericho and Kira, she lifted up the ladder and the room and it changed back to an human, it was Casey, sitting on the ground, who used his powers for the first time in a mission.

"Nice solution, Casey." Daemona complimented.

"Wh-wh-what's going on?" Amanda stuttered, getting afraid again.

Unfortunately, the PIs didn't saw Lambequin flying towards to open window into Amanda's room as she screamed. Kira looked outside and Andreas the bulky was about to enter too, she closed the window just in time, letting Andreas bumping his head against the glass, he shook his head and went away.

"Well, that's one of them." Kira assured, turning back to the gang.

Daemona, Jericho, Kira and Casey were in front of Amanda's bed and faced Lambequin the thin knight, who was standing up.

"Don't hurt Amanda!" warned Casey.

"Where is it?" Lambequin began searching in the room, not even looking at the gang. "Where is the artifact?"

"Artifact?"

"What is he doing? We're right in front of him." Kira said, with a disillusioned look, she started to shake her hands. "YOO-HOO, ARE YOU BLIND?"

"I think he's not really after Amanda, but he's looking for something who belongs to her…" Casey quickly deducted.

"Could it be…the perfume?" Daemona rumored, whispering.

Jericho, meanwhile, noticed that Lambequin started to search in the drawer of the room.

"I see it, time to..."

"No, sorry, it's closed! "Jericho shouted, using his telekinisia to close the drawer on Andreas's right hand.

While holding a yell, Lambequin used his free left hand holding his weapon to throw it towards the gang, who avoided it, splitting each other.

"OK, ENOUGH, I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!" Amanda got out of the room, running.

Lambequin used all this distraction to finally get the perfume from the drawer.

"Oh, goody, my work here is done!" he celebrated and rushed in direction of the window, taking his weapon in the way.

"Someone make use of me!" Casey ordered.

The boy shapeshifted into a metal shield and Kira threw it like a frisbee towards the knight, a big sound resonated in the room, everyone covered their ears while the enemy was standing still for a few seconds, his armor shaking, meanwhile, Jericho levitated the spear of the knight and brought it to his hand.

"OW!" Casey shapeshifted back to himself on the ground, hand on his head, hurt. "Kira, I wanted to be used as a shield, it was not a frisbee!"

"Oh, sorry, but look, he's almost knocked out, and disarmed."

"A good time to make it go away." Daemona went out the Ether-distruptor and was about to use it at the knight. "Good night, let me tuck you!"

Suddenly, the window opened wide and a strong gale lifted the blanket on Daemona, who didn't saw anything and dropped the Ether-distruptor.

"Hey, I'm not sleepy!" Daemona struggled with the blanket.

Meanwhile, a little blue demon with wings, protruding yellow eyes, pustules, hairy eyebrows and purple hair around his body entered in the room by the open window and saw Lambequin.

"It's taking you long, do you have it?" the demon questioned, he's looking as his two hands and notice the perfume.

"...I'm catching that!" Kira thought to herself.

As Kira ran and attempted to catch the demon, Daemona, blinded by blankets, stumbled into her, hitting her.

"Aow, Daemona, please get ou- AAAAH, MY FOOT!" Kira yelled, as she was stuck with Daemona and her blankets, about to fall on the ground.

Jericho and Casey rushed in to help Daemona and Kira and pulled out the blanket at the same time Daemona did a big gesture to get rid of it. The blanket was now on the two boys, who fell on the ground next to the two paranormal intruders.

"Goodness demonious, what is this mess?" the blue demon questionned while Daemona and Kira helped the boys.

"Don't pay attention, we have it, teleport us at home, my lord." Lambequin answered, finally got himself together from the hit.

"No, I need to be a few meters away from these mortals, just to be sure, they're...moving..kinda a lot." the demon suggested while looking at the struggle between the four kids and the blanket.

The slim knight flied through the window, followed by his lord, who flied too. At that very moment, the four PIs finally got rid of the blanket and were all standing up. Daemona shouted, pointing the demon.

"Don't let him escape."

Casey changed himself into a lasso, Kira took it and threw the loop towards the flying demon outside. Unfortunately missing it, she brought the lasso back to her and it changed back to Casey.

"Quick, follow him." Daemona ordered to her gang.

Jericho, still holding the spear, and Kira followed Daemona outside the room, but Casey stayed here, looking through the window and backing up a few meters from it, preparing himself, serious-looking.

"The window...no one listens to my paranormal 101!" he thought to himself, referring to the movie he saw with Daemona.

Casey then took a run towards the window, jumped on the bed who was right in front of it and pushed himself outside the window in dive position, in mid-air and outside, he shapeshifted into a woodpecker to fly towards the demon and try to harass him.


Meanwhile, the rest of PI team went outside, followed by Amanda's father, who stood at the entrance.

"What was that mess?" told the father.

"Well, good news, your daughter will be fine, she is not in danger, bad news, we still have to deal with the case." Kira said while running. Daemona checked on her watch to talk to Navarro.

"Navarro, we might need a lift, do you have a car or-"

"I'm already here!"

Navarro was in his red car on the street, listening to music, as the kids got close to the car, Navarro opened the right window and lowered his music.

"Where's Casey?" he asked.

They all looked everywhere, until Jericho saw on the sky a woodpecker with brown curly hair and glasses chasing a blue flying demon.

"What is he doing?" he asked himself with a panicked tone.

"Quick, get in, I will try to follow these two." Navarro ordered.

Daemona went in front, Kira and Jericho behind. The ginger boy but the spear side to him.

"Watch out for shortcuts!" Navarro shouted while driving, following Casey and the flying demon.

In the sky, Casey the woodpecker started to gained advantage and getting himself close to his prey.

"OK!" the flying demon started. "I think now this is a good dis- YEAOWCH!"

He got interrupted by Casey, who started to use its pointy beak to attack his feet. He shouted help to Lambequin but he was gone.

"Eeeeeh, no no no!" the demon whined while flying lower.

Casey's assault resumed, but the monster was surprisingly agile, with pure luck, he avoided the woodpecker's shots, nearly hitting a high tree in some times.

"Ergh, the human world is such a mess!" he complained.

Downside, in Navarro's prototype, the kids looked at Casey, almost fighting with the demon.

"I don't know what he has in mind, but he won't make it alone." Kira warned to the gang.

"They're too far away for me to use my Ether Distruptor!" Daemona judged and looked.

"Do you think we could go get a snack pronto?" Jericho asked, out of subject.

"Are you serious? We just had dinner all together." Kira looked at her friend, incredulous.

"Growth spurt, ever heard of it?" he answered with another question.

"Calm down, kids, and find a way to help your friend from distance." Navarro suggested, while driving.

"Distance….DISTANCE!" tilted Jericho.

The kid took the crank on his side and opened the window, he then used his telekinesis power to bring some rocks on the sides of road with his hand, he put a lot of them in Kira and Daemona's hand.

"Maybe it will bother him and slow him down if we do this."

Jericho levitated other rocks on the road and tried to throw them at the demon, the girls imitated him, opening their window and using all their forces to throw them really high.

"HEY, WOOOH, CAREFUL, AM I A PUNCHING BAG AND I DON'T KNOW IT?" Casey shouted , almost receiving some rocks.

"I SWEAR WE'RE TARGETTING HIM!" Jericho shouted back, in the transport.

The flying demon chuckled and continued to fly away. As the rocks stopped be thrown, the shapeshifted woodpecker rushed to him and, instead of attacking him with his beak, he just opened his mouth and chewed the purple hair around him.

"Hey!" the demon stopped his rush and, still in the air, put his clawed hands on Casey to try get him away. "You will ruin my allure!"

Casey pulled the hair with his beak. The two flyers were now staying still in the air, struggling each other.

Meanwhile, Navarro stopped the car and all the rest of the team went out.

"Jericho, your powers." Daemona indicated.

"He's really too far, what do you think I am, almighty?"

"Lift a tree or something, you will have more chances!" Kira stated.

"And hurt Casey? For some reason we're all missing the demon!"

"Try with a bigger but not dangerous object, and concentrate yourself, try to anticipate the pattern they're going to take." Daemona counseled.

"They're standing STILL, what can I do?" Jericho argued.

"I have a better idea!" Navarro went out of the car, opened the trunk and offered a small round gun with a big hole and a small lever to Daemona. "Shoot it, and if it misses, pull the lever on…."

Trusting the professor's word, the leader girl of the gang targeted the weapon's sight to the demon fighting with Casey. She shot and a small metal ball went out of the weapon, heading towards the two individuals. At this very moment, Casey pulled out some of the demon's purple hair and the force he used caused the two to split up, avoiding the metal ball.

The hairy woodpecker, with purple hair kept in his mouth, looked left to him to see what was shot, but he heard flapping sounds in front of him: the flying demon was getting away.

Casey resumed his chase after him, but noticed the metal ball was coming back to him, he nearly avoided it and looked at it come back to Daemona, then, other flapping sounds were heard, he looked bad in front of him. Ordinary birds headed to him and went close to hit him! Thanks to his quick reflexes, and keeping his mouth closed at all costs, Casey flyed downwards and avoided the birds but received a big whoosh coming from their speeds, he was disoriented from some times, then got himself together and looked everywhere...

The demon was gone….

But there was still something he acquired that could make the quest go on….

As he flied down to reunite with the gang, the metal ball was going back into Daemona's weapon, she turned the lever on.

"What was that?" Daemona turned to Navarro to get an answer.

"When you hit a target, the ball spreads black sticky goop on his whole body, and slow down his movements, bothered by the glue material. But when you miss and you open the lever, it creates a powerful magnetic field between the shot and the weapon, who are both metal, and brought the ball back into your weapon, I call it the GlueShoot." Navarro explained. "It's like paintball, but arranged by myself…heheh."

Casey went back into the ground, still in his woodpecker form.

"Casey, are you all right? It was dangerous up there, you could have hurt yourself." Kira kneeled in front of him.

"You were brave, boy!" Jericho thumbed up.

Daemona looked at the sky, with a sad look.

"I don't understand...the knights were right in front of us, we were four, and we didn't even managed to catch one or talking with them...and now here's this flying thing, that we didn't even keep track of...we lost him...will they ever come back? At least no one is hurt..."

Kira just put her hand on Daemona's shoulder, while Casey turned back to human form and spitted the purple hair on his hand, showing it to the gang.

"Maybe we lost him, but I think we can know what this thing is by analyzing the tuft I have here, and get better prepared."

Daemona took the purple hair and looked at it while Jericho was high-fiving Casey. Curious, she pointed the specter detector at it, the demon's gauge rose up.

"Let's get back to my attic, I have a weird feeling about this." Daemona ordered.


Cutting to Daemona's attic, her, Kira, Jericho and Casey were here, she looked at them with a serious look.

"I think it's time I owe you some explanations." Daemona started. "In past August, I already saw these knights, they were looking for clothes, and there was a goofy voice accompanied by them. I think the lord they are referring about was this flying demon we saw…"

A long silence resumed, Jericho broke it and shrugged.

"That's all?"

"Yeah, what links all of this is…blurry…we don't even know their true motives and the identity of this demon." Kira expressed. "I thought the solution to the knights case were going to lead to a revenge story, or treasure hunting, instead we get this...lord demon thing."

"It's not just that." Daemona revealed. She looked around, looking for the hair gel she kept and took the single hair who was on it. "If we analyze these two hairs…."

Daemona put, turn by turn, the hairs on a analysis machine connected to the big screen, on each hair, the same picture appears: the flying demon.

"It's the same demon!"

"Wait wait….the hair gel who dropped on my shoulder and made me fall the other day. It was…." Jericho paused.

"I'm not sure, but since it fell from the sky, I think he just dropped it, I'm surprised he didn't went to our house and looked for it again." the red girl explained, bringing hypothesis.

"That means a demon flew in the sky during the day and NOBODY noticed it?" Jericho lifted up his tone, not judging this makes sense.

"At this distance, I guess people took him for a bird." Casey retorted.

"Well, that's more convenient, but we still don't know what he is and what his true motives are."

"HEEEEEY, HEEEEY, I KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!" a hoarse voice yelled from under the bed.

Daemona closed her eyes and sighed for a few seconds, hand on her forehead, she went under the bed and pulled out Wad, who was still imprisoned.

"What do you want?" she addressed to him.

"Dropped it, flying demon, goofy voice, I know him!" Wad said.

"Really? Why didn't I thought of you sooner...what do you know about this demon? And please don't make this a joke!" Daemona warned, pointing severely at Wad.

"Nononono, I swear I know him. His name is Jinxie, he is pretty well known from all paranormal entities, even me." Wad informed. "He's not really evil like some creatures you see, he's a real sweetheart, hehe. Let say he just lives with a dangerous curse."

"A demon who is not evil?" Casey concluded. "We just FOUGHT with his subjects and himself, of course he's evil!"

"No, just insecure. Ironic, for a bad luck demon, when we're around him, a tree could fall on your head, a mug could break, or even worse, you could lose electricity and missing your favorite TV show! He's causing problems and bad luck to everyone, even at his own coasts."

Daemona remained silent, Wad started calling her.

"Daemona? ...Earth is calling the moon?"

"A ...bad luck...demon?"

Some scenes were coming back to Daemona...


-Flashback, in end-August-

"As I was about to close my shop, I heard weird goofy voices in the dressing room, you know the following; then, while you were on your way, I took a cup of coffee with me and checked back in every cabin: no client, no thief, no ghost nobody! But I keep seeing clothes dragging on the floor, I tried to get them but I kept hearing voices and I don't dare to pick them up." the cashier explained.

"Anything else?" the disguised girl interrogated.

"Well, just some mobility problems when I first tried to get the clothes, I spilled coffee on it!"

"Not you, the problem." Daemona clarified.

"I think the voices are still there, be careful!"

-...-

"Don't force me to use the strong way!" Daemona objected.

She settled the vacuum to average power and pressed the on button, but no noise was getting out of it. She pressed the button a second time, still no result.

"Urg, why it's not working now? Of course!" she complained,

-Flashback end, back to present-


Daemona gasped.

"DUH, that's why my vacuumormal didn't work in time! He was there during that time, his bad luck curse surely moved one of the batteries out!"

"What?" everyone shrugged, but Daemona and Wad.

"Tell me more, this is getting interesting." Daemona widely smiled.

"Well…that's all I know about him." the wad of gum shrugged.

"….You had ONE JOB!" Daemona angrily said, pointing at the sprite.

"Wait wait!" Wad placed in a defensive position despite the fact he was imprisoned. "I mean I don't know what are his current motives, but I'm pretty sure he will come back, you just have to keep track of him."

"And how we will do to capture a demon who's causing whatever bad luck at the most unknown and inappropriate time?" Jericho said, out of ideas. "We don't even know if he's going to come back."

"Luck is something we can interpret in different ways, is it really a curse? And the probabilities we have over the choices we will make are infinite... "

"Casey's right." Daemona approved. "The definition of luck is really coming from each other's point of view, but what's important is that bad luck is happening to us when Jinxie is close. I think we will manage to fight against the bad luck curse if…"

"Oooooh I think I will change my name for the night…" Kira commented between her lips.

Daemona turned around and walked in circles, making convincing moves with her right fist.

"…if we think positive, if we believe in even the smallest probability that we end up capturing him, then nothing dangerous will happen to us, we will WIN, we will bring LUCK to us and I think I have just the right idea to help us out." the red girl predicted. "We will trigger him with the hair gel, to see if he's interested in it."

"And after that? We will hurt them?" Casey asked.

"I have no intention of hurting them, I just want to get rid of the knights some way or another then make Jinxie spit out the truth, I want to know what his deal is!" Daemona explained.

"I repeat, we don't know if he's even coming back!" Jericho insisted.

"We have to at least try, who know, maybe probabilities and luck will smile to us!" Daemona insisted more.

"How about I come with you? I want Jinxie to give me an autograph." Wad suggested.

"….As I saiiiiiiiiiid…" Daemona ignored, facing her friends, smiling but clenching her teeth. "We will bring LUCK with us. Come with me, everyone."

Wad looked in a spot, thinking, meanwhile, Daemona and her team walked towards the elevator, preparing themselves, Kira started talking to her leader.

"Did you just-"

"Give him the time we will leave this room." Daemona whispered.

After everyone left the room, Wad started frowning and turned to the closed elevator.

"HEY, was that an insult?"


In an unknown green space atmosphere place with a floating house, Jinxie looked at the perfume, Lambequin and Andreas were behind him.

"I thought it was not all humans who were fools, I just proved I was wrong!" Jinxie threw the perfume away. "This is not what I was looking for."

"How? We obeyed you just as you said: we found an artifact shaped like a bottle who smells and we brought it to you, sir." Andreas said.

"It was not this one, I already have something who's similar to it, who smells bad! What I was looking for was what I dropped the past month, it has like the same shape!" Jinxie stated. "I couldn't go and get it back in front of everyone."

"With all due respect, lord Jinxie, it's the fourth time we travel to the human world, finding about what you're looking for. Aren't there any artifacts here? " Andreas said.

"Unfortunately, no, except the one I have who smells bad, there are no other places than the human world who have these dear treasures." Jinxie the bad luck demon informed. "We have no choice, we have to return there, I'm sure that these pesky kids have what I was looking for, they seem to know a lot!"

"Again, with all due respect, your highness, I think your curse will bring us problems, if it's not already bringing some to yourself." Lambequin said.

"What beasts am I hearing? Me, cursing you? You two have been knights since centuries and dust, you are valiant, on the lookout of any danger, so you must be able to deal with bad luck events like dropping your weapons, aren't you? I insist to accompany you and make sure you don't mess up, there, if it can help you, we can find objects to bring you luck, even if I don't really believe in it…"

"…At your service, lord Jinxie." the two knights shouted at the same time.

"Before we go, I have to find a new weapon!" Lambequin suggested.

Suddenly, as they were about to go, someone knocked on the door outside, Jinxie went and opened to door, only to find someone who looked like the reaper, but he was blue instead of black, without scythe.

"Is this the dark matter mailman?" Jinxie questioned.

The voice was grave, smothered by the blue coat.

"I've heard you were looking for something precious shaped like a bottle you dropped? ….I can indicate you where it is."

Jinxie raised his eyebrows, with an interrogative look...
