Legend of the Ghost Guardians: Dawn of the Phantom Dimension

Chapter 9: Attacking the Fire Demon


-Amity Park-

As Danny, Moona, Silverfang, and the others ran through the streets of Amity Park, they were attacked by Ghouls and Dark Spirits. Danny took out the Ghouls with his ghost rays and ghost stinger attacks while Moona, Silverfang, Rebecca, and Nocturne took out the Dark Spirits. Soon they reached a clearing behind the Demon and raced across, narrowly dodging the monster's swishing tail. Once on the other side, the halfas pushed over a tree to form a makeshift bridge over the debris.

As they started across, two dragons, a werewolf, a genie and a yeti ghost flew overhead. Moona recognized the ghosts immediately. "That's Frostbite, Desiree and Dora!"

"And they're with Wulf and Aragon too." Silverfang smiled as he recognized the dragons and the wolf and smiled when they saw him and his friends down below.

"Dora, look down here!" Desiree called out to the dragon princess.

Dora glanced down and beamed at the group. "Well, as I live and breathe! It's the Ghost Guardians and their friends!"

"Miaj amikoj. Mi estas tiel gaja vi ĉiuj estas bone!" Wulf cried out happily in esperanto, of course.

Frostbite spotted them too and called down, "Luna, Chinook, Danny Phantom, this way quickly!" But the kids ran ahead to the other side. "Or ignore me at your own peril, whatever."

As the group ran across the tree, the Demon's tail swung down towards them, but Frostbite and the dragons fired their Ice and fire attacks at it, holding the tail in place. Meanwhile, Wulf and Desiree fired their ghosts rays and claws at the Demon's head but the monster reacted by swinging its fist out and knocking them out of the sky. With a roar of triumph, it stomped further into the city.

By then, Danny and the guardians had made it across. "Is everyone alright?" Silverfang asked.

"Yeah I'm okay," Luna gasped.

"Well I'm not!" Writer yelled. "Didn't you see what happened to Frostbite and the others?"

"They're okay," Danny called out. "They've recovered from the attack and are flying into the city."

"Come on," Rebecca shouted. "We have to move!"

They ran down the path and into another area – moments before the Demon, who hadn't spotted them, knocked down a nearby building trapping them inside. Just then, Vortex, Tecnus and Spectra swooped out of the sky.

"Look," Penelope Spectra called out. "That's Luna and Chinook and their friends. Clockwork's vision was right!"

"Hold on!" Vortex called to the group. "We'll get you out of there!"

As Vortex led his team towards the Fire Demon, another army of Ghouls appeared; this time accompanied by Wraiths and Dark spirit archers. Silverfang jumped into the air and did an Ice Tail attack to take out some of the Ghouls while Rebecca fought back with her Shadow Claw attack against the rest; Moona used her Moon Dash on the Archers and sent them flying and Nocturne took on the Wraiths with his Sleepwalkers.

With the enemies destroyed, the Ghost Guardians and the others ran up to an opening blocked by wooden boards, but then three more ghouls burst out of the ground to bar the way. Suddenly, Spectra swooped out of the sky and fired her constructed energy hand down towards the enemies, trapping the ghouls in her grip. Seconds later, two powerful Electric Streams shot through the debris, smashing it apart and zapping the ghouls.

"Vortex!" Moona called out in glee as she saw the Weather General waiting for them at the opening.

"And that's Technus with them," Danny added.

As Spectra joined the two Electric ghosts, Silverfang and his friends raced up to them. But then the Demon's tail knocked down another building, sending it crashing down towards them! Quickly, Nocturne grabbed Luna and Writer while Buck and Danny grabbed Silverfang and Rebecca and pulled them to the top of the stairs while Vortex, Spectra, and Technus took to the sky, narrowly missing the debris.

As the Guardians and their friends stood panting at the base of a tall tower, they saw a group of ghosts, several with humans on their grips, flying overhead towards the center of Amity Park. Then they turned to see the Fire Demon stomping in the same direction.

"It's heading for the upper part of the city!" Rebecca gasped.

"Oh no!" Danny cried out. "The inhabitants are all sheltered there!"

"Then we can't let it get any further," Moona decided.

"Right," Silverfang agreed with his sister. "We have to slow it down. Come on!"

They ran into a huge tower where they could see one wall was completely destroyed – and the Fire Demon could see them now!

With a roar, it swung its normal, dark crystal-filled hand down at them, but Silverfang jumped aside and the others flew away. Then Silverfang spotted something in the Demon's head. "Guys, there are some Dark Crystals embedded in its neck! If we can stun the Demon for a while, then maybe we can destroy them!"

Danny nodded to Moona and Silverfang when the Demon tried to hit them again, the halfas struck out with their ecto-rays at the fist. After a few hits, the Demon recoiled in pain and lowered its head, revealing the Crystals. Acting quickly, the Guardians raced up some nearby stairs and attacked the first set of crystals and soon the cluster smashed apart, damaging its jaw in the process. The Demon roared in agony as he gripped his bleeding jaw and glared angrily at his attackers.

Behind the monster, Undergrowth, Ember, and Skulker watched the action. "Now's our chance to strike," Ember called out.

"Look out!" Undergrowth yelled.

As Danny and the Guardians ran to the side, Ember played her guitar and shot out her fist-shaped energy beam at the Demon while Skulker fired multiple rocket missiles from his suit drawing its attention. Then Undergrowth stretched out his arm and hurled it at the Demon, his body glowing with Earth energy. Seconds later, he smashed his arm straight into the monster's chest until it returned back to its original length. When he was going to try again, the Demon blasted him with a blast of fire. Ember and Skulker managed to dodge the attack, but Undergrowth was caught in the heat.

"NOOO!" Nocturne and Moona screamed in horror as they saw the burnt body of their friend plummet from the sky.

The Demon then started to climb up the building and the group followed, dodging the attacks from its fist and tail. Soon they reached the second floor and faced the Demon again. Once again, it tried to strike at them with its fists, but they avoided the attacks and struck out in retaliation. When it recoiled in pain, Silverfang and Moona ran up the stairs and attacked the second cluster of crystals, eventually breaking them and smashing the Demon's lower jaw entirely.

The Demon climbed up to the roof, stumbling as it did. Danny and the Guardians raced up the stairs and faced the Demon again. Just then, Clockwork, Walker, and Bullet arrived on the scene.

Bullet gasped in amazement. "Look, there's Luna and Chinook!"

"I knew it!" Walker smiled. "We have to help them!"

As the Demon raised its smaller arm, Clockwork slowed down time with his staff and dodged the fist midway. Walker and Bullet then swooped down and fired their ecto-rays on the top of the Demon's head, causing it to spark purple energy. Walker and Clockwork raised their hands to aim for the crack, but the Demon raised its bigger fist and swatted Walker and Clockwork back into Bullet, sending them crashing into a tower. It then swung its freed hand down on the group but they jumped aside.

"It's up to us," Silverfang said grimly.

"If we don't stop it now, it will destroy everything," Danny agreed.

"Alright," Rebecca said. "I'm with you."

"So are we," Moona and Nocturne added.

"Why?" Writer groaned. "Why do I keep going along with this?"

"This is the world that the original Ghost Guardians protected. I won't forgive any scum who tries to destroy it!" Silverfang growled towards the monster.

The Demon clasped its hands together and tried to smash the group, but they quickly dodged aside and immediately went on the offensive, attacking the crystal-filled hand. After a few hits, the Demon nearly lost its grip on the building and grabbed the edge to stop its fall.

"All right," Danny called to his friends. "This is our chance to strike! Moona, Nocturne, you get to the Demon's head and reveal the crystal! Silverfang, Rebecca, and I will sneak behind it and destroy it. MOVE OUT!"

At once, Moona and Nocturne leapt onto the Demon's hand and it raised its arm to shake them off, but the young ghosts took advantage of its distraction to leap off its hand and land on its head. Then they started attacking the crack on its crown, digging out the Dark Crystal from its horns and skull.

Meanwhile, Danny, Rebecca, and Silverfang flew around the monster's body up to the back of the head. As Moona and Nocturne revealed the Crystal, Danny flew closer while Rebecca drew out her shadow claws Silverfang drew out his ice claws. The young halfas leapt off the Demon's head and at the same time, they both landed by the Crystal, focusing all their energy.

"You are lucky to die in the hands of the Guardians!" Silverfang said to the monster as he finally powered up his attack.

At once, Danny shouted out his ghostly wail then Silverfang and Rebecca raised their claws above its head and brought it down on the Crystal, shattering it into pieces. At once, the Demon let out a roar of pain and loosened its grip on the building, falling to the streets below. Silverfang and Rebecca were flung off its head towards a nearby building, but then a flash of white shot out and grabbed them seconds before they hit, pulling back into the waiting claws of Frostbite.

"I got you, young Guardian!" he called out.

As Frostbite flew back to the roof where Danny, Moona, Nocturne, Buck, and the others were waiting, the Fire Demon smashed into the ground below, causing a mighty tremor that shook the city. Ghosts and humans emerged from the buildings to see what was happening. They watched as the Demon's body faded away into nothing but smoke and ash. Then one human pointed to Silverfang and his friends and everybody cheered for their success.


What Wulf said in esperanto is translated like this: "My friends. I am so glad you are all well!"

The Guardians finally defeated the fire demon. But what will happen after that?

More will be coming soon, so don't worry!
