Irma was officially in her own vision of hell as the sun slowly started to set outside and yet she was still in school, and in the worst club imaginable. There were two major problems with the school newspaper. First, all the participants were idiots. And second, nothing ever happened at their school. It had to be one of the most boring places on Earth.
"This is really big." One of the two Grumper sisters said in an existed voice, Irma didn't really know which one it was. It wasn't that the red headed twins were identical or anything, they were different in both size and shape. Irma just found that they didn't really had distinct personalities, and since they always moved around together, there wasn't really a point in distinguishing between the two.
"Greger Marando wore her blue plaid skirt 'twice' this week!" The other said before they both squealed as if it was some big scandal.
"Okay... that isn't really a story." Taranee said, her voice not nearly as enthusiastic as it had been when the night had started.
"Just print it and lets go home." Irma begged as he head hit the desk. A large clanging sound come from the halls. "What as that?" Irma asked shortly interested in the slight mental stimulus.
There were more crashing sounds. "Well, Marten said he wasn't coming in until he had a huge story... so he's probably in the cafeteria and that was probably him knocking over all the pans." Taranee said brushing it all off.
But that wasn't entirely true.
Marten was hiding behind the counter underneath the hot plates as he heard something moving around the cafeteria tables. He wasn't the bravest of people, but he was despite to find something that would impress Irma.
"A good reporter stays calm." Marten mumbled to himself as he tightened his sweaty hands around his camera. After a moments prayer he jumped out from behind the counter, but there was nothing there. Everything looked absolutely normal.
But then one of the chairs was knocked over several feet, and then another and another in as something moved around unseen. Marten freaked and started taking picture after picture until the doors on the other side of the room were knocked open and whatever it was that Marten hadn't been able to see left.
Marten panted for a few seconds before a huge grin crossed his face. "I did it!" He shouted running out of the cafeteria. "I did it, I found the school ghost!" He shouted not even registering Danny and Matt, who looked confused as he passed them.
"I think Marten might have finally lost it." Matt said sounding a little disappointed.
"Well, we still need to finish up the bathrooms." Danny replied with a shrug as he pushed along the mop cart. Danny raised an eyebrow at the word 'ghost', but he couldn't sense anything, so he wasn't worried.
"Don't remind me." Matt said with a bit of a shiver. "Still better than the newspaper club though." He joked.
Marten ran into the newspaper club with a victorious grin on his face as he held up his camera. "Exclusive story! School ghosts! Pictures to come!" He said proudly.
"What, you mean Danny?" Irma asked confused.
Taranee only rolled her eyes. "Marten, that's called air conditioning, it isn't a story." She said starting to lose her patents with the others.
"Oh no, I saw it this time." Marten said confidently, before adding less confidently. "Well, I saw what it did, or what it had done... oh you'll see!" He said running back out of the room. He was going to go home to do some research on what he hadn't seen.
Irma and Taranee exchanged pitying looks as they went back to the boring meeting.
Will, Cornelia and Hay Lin had snuck back into school with Caleb and had found the portal in a storage basement. The large swirling blue and white vortex gave off small electric sparks as air passed back and forth between Earth and Meridian.
"No mater how many times I see them, they still freaks me out." Will said as she started to take out the Heart of Kandrakar. The small pink orb had been glowing a warm light pink ever since they had gotten to the school. A steady reminder that Danny was still around somewhere. "Let's just close the portal and get out of here."
Hay Lin and Cornelia nodded in agreement as their leader lifted up the Heart, but just before she closed the portal, Caleb stopped her. "Wait a second!" He shouted quickly as his flashlight shone over a stick purple substance over in the corner of the room. Caleb kneeled next to it and took some of it in his hand rubbing it between his fingers. "Purple slime... that can only come from one thing; a Hermanuta Beast."
The guardian's shivered a bit. "I'm afraid to ask." Hay Lin said weakly.
Caleb looked around the room but saw nothing. "Maybe it went back into the portal." He said, but then a few mops in the corner of the room exploded outwards and fell to the ground, startling everyone there. More things got knocked over and more purple slime appeared on objects in a trail that was moving through the clutter on the ground. "Or maybe not."
Suddenly Will felt like something had hit her head on and she fell to the ground. "Will!" Hay Lin said, checking on her friend.
"I... I didn't see anything." Will said rubbing her head and pulling her hand away in disgust as she found it covered in the purple slime.
"When it's upset it becomes invisible. Don't move." Caleb said calmly as he motioned for the others to stay still. Slowly a large boar like creature, the size of a full grown Labrador, came into the visible spectrum in the corner of the room. Its eyes were up on the end of tentacles, just like a snail's. Large quantities of purple slime poured from an open mouth that held two thick tusks near the back of its mouth.
"That's what did all this?" Cornelia said in disbelief. She was used to Meridian monsters being a lot bigger.
"Its a juvenal." Caleb assured her as he scratched his head.
"Oh can we keep it?" Hay Lin said smiling as she looked at the thing.
One of Cornelia's eyes twitched at the bad suggestion. "Oh sure, we can be the Guardian of the Veil, AND WATCH AFTER A WILD SLIMY INVISIBLE PIG!" She shouted angrily.
This turned out to be a bad move as the Hurmanuta Beast jumped and turned invisible again before ramming into Hay Lin and dragged her half way across the basement before knocking her against the far wall were she slid to the ground in a puddle of the purple slime.
"Oh... bad pig." Hay Lin moaned.
Will pulled the Heart of Kandrakar out again. "Guardian's Unite." She said and the ethereal lights gathered around the three girls, changing them into there guardian forms.
A trail made by the slime from the pigs mouth showed that it was running straight at Caleb, so Cornelia used her powers over earth to move bricks from the wall to make a sheild in front of Caleb, which the invisible pig smashed into, knocking it down.
"Well this is fun. We need to surround it so we can move it towards the portal." Will instructed the other two guardians.
But before they could do anything the bricks were knocked about and Caleb was pulled off his feet and was being dragged about. "He's got my leg!" Caleb shouted as he struggle with the unseen menace.
"Leave him alone!" Cornelia shouted, grabbing onto Caleb's arm with Will and trying to drag him free, but it was no good, the pig had a death hold of the boy's leg.
Hay Lin watched for a few seconds before using her powers over air to make a miniature cyclone in the middle of the basement. Caleb and the girls were lifted off the ground and spun around in it as Hay Lin had fun.
"Wait, stop!" Caleb shouted. "Its gone!" Hay Lin stopped in surprise and they all fell to the ground.
Hearing a snorting sound they all looked to the stairs to see the pig for a few seconds before it turned invisible again. "After it!" Will shouted as they flew up the stairs. But their hearts sank as the double doors to the basement were knocked upon and something they couldn't see got out. "Oh great, who left the door unlocked?"
As they moved out of the basement they could see that all the walls were covered in the pig's purple slime. "Just great." Will said angrily as she transformed them all back into there normal forms.
"We'll have to find Irma and Taranee and see if we can't..." Hay Lin started but stopped as they heard two voice getting closer.
"Thank goodness we are finally done." Danny's voice said.
"You're telling me. I've got to get home before my parents flip. I never exactly told them about the detention." Matt's voice answered. "I have new found respect for that grouchy old Mrs. Filch."
"Clearly not much if you're still calling her 'grouchy old'." Danny laughed.
"Well whatever, all we have to do now is put the... stuff... away..." Matt's voice fell off as they turned the corn and saw the halls covered in slime. "Son of a..." He started but then he noticed Will standing there. "Oh, hey Will." He said cheerfully. "What brings you here?"
"Oh, we were just... uh... going to see Irma and Taranee. They said they needed some help with something." Hay Lin said since Will was to flushed to answer.
"The school hallway is covered in slime... I must be back in Amity Park again." Danny sighed as he inspected the mess.
"Better get to work then." Matt said as he pulled out a mop.
"We'll help." Will said grabbing a rag herself, quickly followed by Hay Lin and Caleb.
"We will?" Cornelia winced as she looked at all the slime. But soon she too joined in.
It was several hours before they managed to clean it all up. And they were all too tired to do anything more than just go home.
Will, Cornelia and Hay Lin, had all gained a new found hatred for pigs.
This chapter is pretty short, but that is because it is going to be cutting to the next morning after this, so it is better to separate the two times. It probably would have been just fine if I had connected it with the last chapter though.
I have been told that I have a lot of typos in here. I'm just going to have to take your word for that since I can't really find them do to the fact that I have extreme dyslexia and two words such as 'happy' and 'happen' look exactly the same to me.
But if someone wants to go again remove all of them then I would be more than 'happy' to send it over. Though I think if you have all read this far, it means you really don't care all that much.
