Legend of the Ghost Guardians: Hopeful Storm

Chapter 8: Out into the Human World


-In the Ghost Zone-

There were two young ghosts playing hide and go shriek (scary version of hide and seek). One was small with green hair, pale skin, green eyes, freckles, buck tooth, wearing a pirate costume named Youngblood while the other one was gray and white with grey eyes, wearing school clothes, a bow tie, and big glasses who goes by the name of Sidney Poindexter.

Both were sneaking off in different hiding places snickering when they did. Then they slowly walk backwards not noticing until they bump into each other and slowly turn and yelled.

"AAAHHH!" they yelled in surprise and fainted. When they got up, Sidney pointed out.

"Right. Who ever knew a game of hide and go shriek could be so terrifying?"

Suddenly they heard a growl and shivered in fear. They saw a wolf running near them. Rustling was heard in the other direction and another wolf appeared. Both wolf shadows grew closer to the petrified ghosts who feared the worst. Youngblood and Sidney were hugging each other in fear as the wolves pounce on them.

"AAAHHH!" they yelled as both wolves jump on them and both happily howled at their victory. Youngblood opened one eye and saw that the big black wolf on top of him was no other than Buck who grew older. He laughed as Buck licks him.

"Stop! Stop it, Buck! That tickles!" Youngblood laughed. Sidney was surprised that nothing happened to him and saw a silver wolf on top of him and the wolf spoke.

"It looks like we win again, Sid!"

"No fair, Chinook! You nearly scared us to death!" Sidney argued as the wolf morphed back into a fifteen year Chinook. He was wearing a light blue sleeveless shirt with red gloves, blue jeans with a brown belt, and blue sneakers. His white hair grew and has strong arms and legs.

"I think we're a little late for that." Chinook laughed. "Hey Luna, did you see that? Another victory for us siblings and Buck!" Chinook called out to his sixteen year old sister who flew down from above in her ghost form until she transformed into her other form. She's wearing a long sleeve white shirt, dark blue jeans, and cerulean sneakers.

"I can see that. Victory motto?" she asked.

"Victory motto." Chinook agreed as they chanted their motto.

"SISTER AND BROTHER, WE'RE THERE FOR EACH OTHER!" They both cheered as they high fived and fist bumped.

The children laughed and have a lot of fun until they heard someone shouting coming over to them.

"Okay, Okay already! Knock off that rough housing!" It was the Ghost Writer who came over shouting at Luna and Chinook.

"Aaww! No fair!" Luna groaned as they started to walk away when Ghost Writer shouted.

"Chinook, Luna! How can I babysit you if you won't sit? You don't sit nowhere for more than five seconds!"

"That's anywhere, Writer." Luna corrected him as the young boys laughed along.

"What's anywhere? Don't try to confuse me, young lady. I'm your babysitter and I demand respect!" Ghost Writer sternly said.

Chinook rolled his eyes and responded. "Writer, since we're not babies anymore, we don't need a babysitter and you can tell that to our father."

"Well, that's too bad because you'll always be my babies, no matter how old you both are." Walker suddenly came from behind them, surprising his kids.

Chinook scoffed at his father's saying while Luna groaned and then said "You're hopeless. Let's get out of here, guys." Luna transformed into her ghost half while Chinook turned into a wolf and run towards his sister.

Before she flew off to play with her brother and friends, she turn to her father and said "What's going to happen when we grow up and have our own lairs, huh, Papa? Who are you going to baby then?" She smiled and left as the boys followed her.

"They're good kids." Walker proudly said with a smile as he watched them leave.

"Good, yes. Kids, no. At their age, they should have known about their true heritage by now." Ghost Writer reminded Walker.

"When the right time comes, they'll find out who they are and what they're meant to be." Walker said calmly as he walked away until Ghost Writer asked.

"Yes, but when the right time comes, will you tell them?" When Walker didn't answer, he continued on. Writer groaned "I hope so."


Clockwork's POV

-In Clockwork's tower-

Luna and Chinook had lived in the Ghost Zone for fifteen years being watched over by their father and everyone else, especially me. At first, the observants feared them for they thought that they will bring nothing but trouble and destruction ever since the attack, but I make sure that they're safe from harm and the threats from the one-eyed pests.

Being their godfather, I had watched over them for some time now and knew that the time for revealing everything will come very soon.

The children love their life here in the Zone and its inhabitants, and the ghosts love the kids as well. They even had great mentors as well:

Ghost writer was their teacher in reading, writing, and all sorts of literature. Pandora had taught them combat and self defense. Technus was their math and technology mentor, even though he tends to prolong the class with his blabbering mouth of his. Even Skulker, Ember and Johnny 13 helped as well. Johnny taught Chinook how to be faster on foot, Skulker taught Luna how to fly even though Chinook tried but couldn't, so he always ran, and Ember entertained them with music of course, and it was fun especially when the children sang in harmony (or howl while Chinook's a wolf in this case).

As for Luna and Chinook, they, like all of us, accepted the world into which they had been raised, believing they were one of them. Two small, unique one of them, true, but one of them nonetheless.

All I hope is that they are ready for anything that will happen to them soon.


Nobody's POV

The boys were just lying on a floating platform bored out of their minds while Luna wondered what to do. "How about we prank the observants? That's fun." She asked.

"We did that yesterday, remember? We got them tarred and feathered. They're probably still are." Chinook snickered. "I know! We could have a race."

"We're too tired and when it comes to running, you'd win and when it comes to flying, Luna wins." Sidney explained.

Then Youngblood had an idea. "How about we play..." But before he could finish, Chinook interrupted.

"If you're going to say dress up, play cowboys, pirate attack, or astronaut adventure, we don't want to hear about it."

Youngblood frowned and was about to say another idea until he was interrupted again.

"Or Ninja battle." Chinook finished while Youngblood stay quiet.

Sidney finally suggested "I can't believe I'm saying this but, how about another game of hide and go shriek, minus the shriek?"

"Hide and seek it is, so let's play. NOT IT!" Luna cried out.

"NOT IT!" both Sidney and Youngblood cried out.

Chinook sighed. "Ok, I'm it. You better hide." So everyone else hid as he counted. "...eight, nine, ten... ready or not, here I come!" Chinook sniffed for any scent and listened for any sound for his sharp senses are doom to the extreme with the help of Buck, of course. It took less than a minute to find Sidney who hid behind a rock.

"One, two, three on Sidney!"

"Oh come one! How come you always find me first?" he frowned.

"Maybe next time, get a better hiding place or a bigger rock." They laughed and went to find the others. Buck found Youngblood next who hid in one of the floating doors but still hadn't found Luna. Still, Chinook wasn't a quitter and listened for his sister. He heard her giggling on top of a tree not far from where they are.

"Ha! I see you, big sis." He pointed at her.

"Well, seeing and catching are two different things, little bro." And she flew off faster than you could realize.

"Yeah, you better run... or fly, in this case. Come on, guys." Chinook called to his friends who followed. They managed to catch up to Luna who flew up to a lower platform from where the boys were.

"What's the matter, little bro? You can't fly?" She taunted her brother who growled. "Ahh, that's right you walk everywhere. Mmm, that's too bad."

Chinook growled. "That's it! You're toast when I catch you!" Luckily for him, he was a good jumper, so he jumped high onto the edge and ran after her with Buck at his side.

Sidney sighed at the scene and spoke to Youngblood. "It's always a contest with those two. I don't care who wins this game, I just want to have fun."

"Well, we should follow them! Maybe we'll discover a new place or even see those two fight. Wonder who'd win?"

"From the looks of things, Luna's in the lead and Chinook will probably be doing her chores for a week as a price." Sidney explained as they both laughed and went on.


-At the Ghost Portal-

Luna flew until she suddenly stopped. The boys and Buck soon caught up to her who were out of breath.

"Hey why did you stop? Ready to give up or... Whoa!" Chinook managed to say for he was amazed of what he was seeing before his eyes: a ghost portal.

"Well, that's it, then. A dead end. Let's go back and maybe have a snack or two." Sidney said worriedly, hoping that the others follow.

"What is it?" Chinook asked.

"That is a ghost portal and it's none of our concern." Sidney explained.

"But where does it lead to?" Luna asked curiously and came closer to it to take a look inside of it. "I want to see what's on the other side."

"Hey, sis, that's cheating! You know Dad said that we're not even allowed to be near those things, let alone into one!" Chinook then imitated his father. "That's against the rules, remember?"

"Yeah! Besides, the human world is not much of a big deal, except for the humans. They're fun to scare!" Youngblood, before he knew it, realized what he just said isn't what he should say and Sidney slapped his forehead while he groaned. "Oops."

"So, that's where it leads." Luna eagerly said. "And you two have been to that world, didn't you?"

"Once or twice. But Walker forbade both of you to go through it and you know it!" Sidney said.

"But I just want to take a peek." Luna whined. "Besides we could turn invisible and nobody would see us! What father doesn't know can't hurt him."

"Sis, I don't know about this."

"Come on, bro! We will just go through it, take a look around and we'll return home faster than you can say prison break!"

Chinook then thought for a moment until he reluctantly agreed. "All right. But only a tiny look and then go back before dad finds out. And if he does, remember, it was your idea!"

Luna smiled and jumped though the portal followed by Chinook, Buck, Youngblood and Sidney. They found themselves in a downstairs basement filled with lots of lab equipment and ghost technology.

"Funny, I thought the human world would be a lot bigger." Luna said.

"We just haven't been outside yet. Follow me!" Youngblood said as he turned invisible and flew out of the basement. The others turned invisible as well and followed Youngblood.

They landed on the roof of the house that they just left. The house was big with a huge station on top and a sign that says "Fenton Works".

"Unbelievable!" It was all Luna and Chinook could say as they saw the world around them. There were many colors, no ectoplasm, a shiny sun, bright blue sky, plenty of buildings, and not a single ghost around. They were even more surprised about the humans they saw enjoying their everyday lives.

"Humans and lots of them!" Luna smiled.

"They kind of look like us." Chinook wondered as he watched closer. "I wonder why."

"I guess we have to come closer." Luna suggested but she was stopped by Sidney.

"Wait! Maybe you two should transform into your normal form. That way, the humans won't notice that you're ghosts."

"But what about you two?" Chinook asked his friends.

"Don't worry. We'll be right with you, just out of plain sight." Youngblood smiled as he turned invisible as well as Sidney. Luna and Chinook both turned into their casual selves and climbed down the roof and onto the sidewalk.

"Let's go, Chinook! Catch up or give up, bro!" Luna said as she went up ahead.

Chinook shook his head as he looked at Buck who was beside him and said. "We are so going to regret this and if Dad finds out, he's going to kill us, probably dance on our graves and make our afterlives miserable."

Buck whimpered at the thought of it.

"But I'm glad that you're right beside me, Bucko. Let's go, Bud!"
