Episode 38: The Haunted Castle of King Boom Boo
At an old castle, on top of an island, the castle looks like it hasn't been disturbed for years. Somewhere in the castle, there are echoes of children's laughter around the halls. The echoing continues to travel through the halls and all over the house.
Outside the castle, Eve, Jazz, Sonia, and Manic are bringing some suitcases and bags into the castle. Aleena sits with Cream and Cheese to relax.
Cream says, "This castle is very beautiful."
"Yes. It reminds me of my older sister's castle," Aleena says.
"Really? That sounds nice," Cream says.
"Chao," Cheese says.
Tails, Uncle Chuck, and Sally are looking around the area outside the castle.
"Wow. this castle is amazing," Sally says.
"Yeah. I can't wait to see the inside of it," Tails says.
"We'll be there soon. Dr. Cadberry gave me the key to the castle and will be arriving tomorrow," Uncle Chuck says.
"I wonder why the castle was abandoned for so long, it looks beautiful," Sally says.
Sonic walks inside the castle to explore. Meanwhile, Tails walks outside and notices a strange pedestal from outside. It seems to have some kind of talisman on it.
Tails walks over and is about to pick it up, "What's this?"
Sonic walks inside the castle to look around. Suddenly, a strange purple aura begins to surround the room.
Tails lets go of the talisman and calls out, "Hey Sally, look what I found!"
In the castle, the strange aura disappeared leaving Sonic confused.
Sonic looks around as he asks himself, "What was that?"
Outside of the castle, Sally and Uncle Chuck look at the strange talisman Tails found.
"I found it here," Tails says.
"Interesting. I wonder what it is," Sally says.
Uncle Chuck takes the talisman off the pedestal and looks at it. In the castle, the strange purple energy appears in the castle again, and suddenly stops. Sonic looks around and wonders what it's about.
Sally looks at the talisman and notices, "There seems to be writing on it."
She reads, "Appears under the moon. Disappears under the sun."
"What does that mean?" Tails asks.
"That I'm not sure of. We'll take the talisman with us to study it," Sally says.
Later in the night, Eve, Manic, and Sonia have their instruments set up with Sally and the others sitting on the floor. Tails and Uncle Chuck are working on an invention. Sally and Sally are looking at Nicole's computer pad and studying the pedestal. Finally, Aleena, Cream, Cheese, and Jazz are playing a board game. Sonic looks outside the window to see the courtyard and wonders about the strange castle. Sonic then walks back into the castle and joins the others.
Eve turns to Sonic, "Hey Sonic, where have you been?"
"Around. Are you ready for band practice?" sonic replies.
"Yep," Eve says.
Sonic grabs his guitar and strums it a little.
Eve asks, "Ready guys."
Sonic, Sonia, and Manic gold their instruments saying, "Ready."
Sonia begins to play her keyboard that sounds like an organ. Then Manic beats on his drums. After that, Sonia's keyboard sounds like a normal piano. Eve then holds the microphone and begins to sing her song.
Eve Hedgehog:

Eve finishes singing and Sonic plays his guitar as Sonia and Manic play their instruments. Sonic then finishes his guitar playing with a final strum. After the song, everyone claps their hands and cheers happily. The song makes them smile like the sun shining. The ghosts above begin to giggle and fly through the wall. Sally suddenly hears them laughing and turns to see no one is around. Sally becomes curious and wonders who is making the strange sound.
Later in the night, Aleena is dressed in her night down and is ready to sleep for the night. Just then, the door opens to reveal Sonia and Manic.
Manic says, "We just came to say good night."
"Thank you my children. I'll see you in the morning," Aleena says.
Sonia and Manic hug their mom and she hugs them back.
"Goodnight mother," Sonia says.
"Night mom," Manic says.
"Goodnight my children," Aleena says.
Sonia and Manic lean the room and close the door behind them. In the hall, Sally and Sonic are searching around the castle. Sally holds a microphone as she and Sonic look around. At the same time, Sonic holds the talisman in his hand.
"Are you sure you heard something?" Sonic asks.
"I'm sure of it. I don't think I can sleep 'til I find that noise," Sally says.
Manic walks into the room to see the only one in there is Tails sitting on the bed and reading a book.
Manic walks over and asks, "Where is everybody, Tails?"
"The girls are having a sleepover in Eve's room," Tails says.
"And Sonic?" Manic asks.
"He and Sally are looking around the castle. Sally said something about a strange sound," Tails says,
"A strange sound?" Manic says, confused.
Down the hall, Sally and Sonic stop as Sally holds the microphone to the wall
Sally says, "This is the spot."
"You sure?" Sally asks.
Sally holds the microphone to the wall to hear laughing. Unknown to them, small ghosts begin to come out behind them from the wall.
"This is definitely the spot, It sounds like some kids are playing," Sally says.
"But there aren't any kids here. Other than Cream," Sonic says.
When they turn around the ghost disappears.
In Aleena's room, she sits on the bed and is about to go to sleep for the night. Suddenly, she begins to hear children laughing too.
Aleena looks around, "Sonia? Manic?"
However, the laughter continues.
Aleena stands up and sternly says, "All right, come out here. This little joke has gone far enough."
However, no one seems to be around.
Aleena says to herself, "I thought I heard something. Perhaps it was just the wind."
Aleena walks to the mirror and becomes shocked to see her reflection turning around to reveal a frightening face. Red eyes with yellow in the middle, sharp black teeth coming out of a big frightening smile, and a gray pale face.
The reflection says, "Well hello there."
Aleena screams in fright. Suddenly, the door opens to reveal Uncle Chuck who has heard his wife screaming. However, no one seems to be here.
"Aleena? Aleena, where are you?" Uncle Chuck calls out.
He looks around and says, "Something isn't right."
Hearing the scream, everyone rush over and Uncle Chuck explains what happened.
"Aunt Aleena is missing?" Sonic asks.
"We all heard her scream and Uncle Chuck said she was gone," Eve says.
"Then we better go find her," Sonic says.
Everyone begins to search all over the castle for Aleena. They all called out to her, but she isn't answering back.
Tails, Manic, Sonic, and Uncle Chuck look around from the side of the hall.
"Aunt Aleena!" Sonic calls out
Manic calls out, "Hey Mom!"
Eve, Amy, Sonia, Sally Cream and the Chao search around as well. They all call out to hope they find her.
"Aunt Aleena, where are you?" Eve calls out.
"Mrs. Hedgehog!" Sally says.
"Mother!" Sonic calls out.
Cream calls, "We're all worried about you!"
Suddenly, Cheese begins to panic, "Chao chao chao chao chao chao!"
"Do you hear something, Cheese?" Cream asks, scared.
Suddenly, they begin to hear laughing.
"I don't like the sound of this," Amy says.
"It's the same laughter we heard before," Sally says.
Eve turns her head and says, "It's coming from behind this wall."
Suddenly, they hear more laughter.
"I better go get some help!" Amy says, and begins to race off.
Suddenly, a ghostly hand shoots out of the wall, cutting her path. Then more ghostly hands begin to appear. The girls and Chao soon scream in fright.
At a different part of the hall, Sonic and the boys hear the screaming.
Sonic quickly says, "Sounds like Amy!"
Back at the hall, Amy grabs a hold of Sonia's hand. Sally, Cream, Cheese, Jazz, and Eve grab Aleena's hand and try to pull her away, but her hand slips and she's pulled through the wall.
"Something pulled her right through the wall," Amy panics.
Just then, Sonic and the others hurry over.
Sonic asks, "What's goin' on?"
"We were looking for Aleena and all of a sudden, we were attacked by ghosts!" Amy says.
"And they took Sonia," Cream says in fright.
"I don't believe in ghosts," Sonic says.
Suddenly, ghosts begin to go through the wall. Sonic jumps and tries to kick them, but breaks the wall to reveal a strange area.
"What is that?" Sally asks.
Just then, a group of ghostly hands come out of the portal. Tails, Amy, Cream, Cheese, Manic, and Uncle Chuck flee. Sonic and Eve try to attack, but nothing works on them.
"Maybe there is such a thing as ghosts after all!" Sonic says.
Suddenly, one of the ghosts grabs Manic.
Sally and Amy exclaim, "It grabbed Manic!"
Manic is soon pulled into the wall.
"Bring him back!" Eve scrams.
The hands soon begin to attack the other two hedgehogs. Sonic and Eve try to dodge, but they are grabbed too.
Sally and Amy scream, "Sonic!"
"Eve!" Tails and Cream scream.
Sonic and Tails are soon being pulled into the wall.
"Sally, catch!" Sonic shouts and throws the talisman.
Suddenly, the broken pieces of the wall begin to seal again as the two hedgehogs are being pulled out.
Sonic screams, "Guys, you need to get out of the castle. I think that thing has something to with this."
Sonic is soon pulled through the wall and seals up.
Amy screams, "No! Sonic!"
Amy slams her hammer at the wall and screams, "Bring him back, you hear me?! You can't... take... my... Sonic…"
Amy sits down in defeat to see there is no hope of getting Sonic and the others out of the wall. The rest are shocked to see now Sonic, Sonia, Manic, and Eve are gone and taken by ghosts.
The next day, Uncle Chuck, Cream and Cheese head off to contact Dr. Cadberry about the incident of last night. Sally, Amy, Jazz, and Tails are investigating the talisman they found and Sonic gives to Sally. The
Amy says, "So this is where you found that thing, Tails?"
"Yes," Tails says.
Amy looks as she says, "But I don't see what this has to do with those ghosts."
"Well... I'm not sure, but I remember there was writing on the wall. It says "Appears under the moon. Disappears under the sun." Sadly, I have no idea what it means," Sally says.
Suddenly, Sally hears some strange sound, like wind is blowing. She bends down to the pedestal and places her hand next to the base.
"What, Sally?" Amy asks.
Sally turns to Amy and Tails, "I feel a breeze coming from the base. There must be a hidden passageway underneath it."
"Chao," Jazz says.
She then flies to the pedestal. Jazz then begins to push on the pedestal trying to move it. Try as she might, Jazz isn't moving the pedestal one inch.
Amy brings out her hammer, "Leave everything to me Jazz."
Then Jazz moves out of the way. Amy slams her hammer into the pedestal, knocking it aside and revealing a secret staircase.
"It's a secret staircase," Tails says.
"And I'll bet we'll find the others down there," Sally says.
Jazz is the first to take off, leaving the others shocked.
Amy understands, "I know how she feels. She wants Eve back and I want Sonic back. I'm coming too.
Amy then runs down after the Chao with Sally and Tails not far behind. They continue to walk down the stairs to see what looks like a secret cavern with stalactites on top of the ceiling.
"Wow! I have never seen a place like this before," Sally says.
"Me either," Tails says.
"Well we're not stopping until we find Sonic, Eve, and our friends," Amy says, determined.
"Chao," Jazz replies with a nod.
Just then, a drop of water falls from the stalactite from above and hits the back of Amy's neck, causing her to scream in fright.
In an unknown location, Sonic, Eve, and Aleena are knocked out on the floor with the surrounding children's laughter. Looking at them are the small ghosts from before. And a very large ghost with red and yellow eyes, blue lips and sharp teeth. Soon, the ghosts make their aggressive faces.
Meanwhile, Sally, Amy, Jazz, and Tails reach the bottom of the staircase.
"Remember, ghosts love it if they see you're scared, so if you run into one, stay calm," Amy nervously says.
"I'll pretend like I don't even notice them," Tails says.
"Chao," Jazz replies.
Suddenly, they hear laughing and the ghosts come out as they change to their aggressive face. The group panic as the ghosts begin to circle around them. When Amy holds the talisman, the ghosts stop in their tracks and frown. Then they fly off like they're scared.
"What happened?" Tails asks.
"I'm not sure, but I think they're scared of that thing," Sally says.
Amy smirks and says, "All right... Let's show those ghosts that we can spook them!"
Then Amy runs ahead.
"Amy, wait!" Sally calls out as she, Jazz, and Tails follow after her.
All three run into the other room, which is very massive.
Amy looks around and asks, "Where'd the ghosts go?"
"They must be around here someplace…" Sally says.
"They can go through walls. Maybe they already escaped," Amy replies.
Tails points out, "They're heading down those stairs!"
The girls look to see one of the ghosts heading down stairs now and they're going through the door.
In the strange blue room, Sonic and Eve regain consciousness and look around to see the ghosts. Soon they look to see the giant ghost that is actually the ruler of this strange world. The ghost simply laughs as the ghosts laugh and fly around.
Meanwhile, Sally, Jazz, Tails, and Amy arrive at the door the ghosts fly through.
"Are you ready?" Sally asks.
"Let's do it," Amy says.
Amy grabs the doorknob and opens it slightly. Amy holds the talisman out first to be safe. The three soon come through to see no ghosts are around. They become shocked to see Sonia and Manic laying on the floor.
"Sonia!" Amy panics.
"And Manic!" Sally says.
They both run to the room and kneel down to check the two hedgehogs.
"Sonia, wake up!" Sally says.
Jazz shakes Manic, "Chao Chao."
Soon, Sonia and Manic wake up. They both stand on their feet as they rub their heads.
"What happened?" Sonia asks.
"Man, talk about a trip," Manic says.
"Guys, Where's Sonic, Eve, and your mom?" Sally asks.
"I'm not sure," Manic says, shaking his head.
"We're still not sure how we got here, except for those ghosts that attacked us," Sonia says.
"But where are they?" Amy asks.
Suddenly, they hear someone shout, "Amy! Sally! Tails! Manic Sonia! We're up here!"
Everyone looks up to see Sonic and Eve on the ceiling. They see Aleena is with them as well.
"Sonic!" Amy and Sally exclaim.
"And Eve too," Tails says.
"Chao," Jazz says.
"And mom," Manic says.
Sonic calls out, "There's not much time, so listen!"
However, what Sally and the others are hearing is different.
A strange voice pretending to be Sonic says, "I've always loved you, Amy."
"Well, I'm sure you know how I feel…" Amy says, with a smile, leaving the others confused.
Then the strange voice, making Sonic says, "You can free me if you place that stone into the space in the wall."
"Right, Sonic. I sure am glad we brought this thing along," Amy happily says.
Amy looks around and notices a strange area.
"That must be where it goes," Amy says.
However, Sonic really calls out, "I said don't put that thing over there, Amy! That's how the ghosts get power!"
Eve soon realizes what's happening and knows she needs to signal them somehow.
Amy reaches the window and asks, "Is this where it goes?"
The fake Sonic says, "Wonderful, Amy. Now place that stone in the space in the wall with the moon side facing upwards."
"What do you mean, 'the moon side'?" Amy asks.
Amy flips the talisman to see the crescent moon and the sun on different sides. She looks at the moon again.
Soon, she understands, "Oh, I see."
Sally looks up to see Sonic talking, but he doesn't look happy to see Amy getting close to the window. Sally then notices Eve moving her hands around.
Sally thinks, "That's sign language. Eve's trying to give me a message.
Then Sally reads Eve's hand movement, Don't… let Amy… put the talisman with the moon upward… it will allow the ghost to gain their power."
Sally gasps and turns to see Amy about to put the talisman on the window.
The impostor Sonic says, "You're the best, Amy.
"Oh, it was nothing. I'm just glad we're going to be back together again," Amy says, blushes and ready to put the talisman on the window.
"Amy don't!" Sally asks.
But Amy already puts the talisman on the window, "What's wrong?"
"That's not Sonic! It's a trap!" Sally cries out, making the others shocked.
Suddenly, the moon on the talisman begins to glow light blue. Just then, a blue light opens from the ceiling and shoots a blinding light. When it disappears, the Ghost king and it's minions appear.
"Where'd he come from?!" Amy asks, frightened.
"Thank you, Amy," The ghost says, in a familiar tone.
Then he and his minions begin laughing.
Hearing the voice makes Amy realize that Sally is right, she's been tricked, "Hey! That was you pretending to be Sonic!"
Sonic calls out, "You don't have a chance against that thing! Don't even think about taking it on!"
Amy angrily brings out her hammer at the ghost, "I'm not letting some ghoul make a fool out of me!"
Amy leaps forward and swings at him, but the ghost disappears making her miss and lands on one foot on the ground. Just then, the ghost hand grabs her, making her drop her hammer.
"Amy!" Everyone screams.
Amy struggles to break free from the ghost's grasp, "No! Let me go!
Just then, one of the smaller ghost phases into Amy's head and she passes out. Then the ghost places her on the ground.
"Amy!" Sonia worriedly says, running to Amy.
Sonia worriedly says, "Please, Amy, open your eyes for me!"
Suddenly, Amy opens her eyes to reveal the same face as the aggressive ghosts. Then Amy floats in the air.
The King Ghost says, "Stop interfering with my plans or you'll never leave this castle!"
"Amy!" Tails panics.
"Chao Chao," Jazz panics!"
"She's been possessed!" Manic says.
Then the possessed Amy brings out her hammer and begins to attack her friends. Sally and the others dodge before the possessed Amy can strike. Soon, they begin to chase the group, the ghost King and his minions begin laughing as the possessed hedgehog chases her own friends.
"Sonic! Help us!" Tails screams.
The possessed Amy laughs as she chases them.
Still trapped, Sonic calls out, "I'll help you, but first you have to get us out of here!"
"And how do you suppose we do that?!" Sonia screams.
Soon, the girls stop to see Amy raising her hammer again.
"Please... Stop, Amy!" Sally says.
The possessed Amy raises the hammer and is about to strike. However, something causes her to frown and prevents her from doing so. They all open their eyes to see Amy has stopped for some reason. They turn around to see the window Amy has placed the talisman.
Sally then remembers the ghost saying, pretending to be Sonic, "Wonderful, Amy. Now place that stone in the space in the wall with the moon side facing upwards."
Sally then thinks, "The moon side upwards... What did it say on that pedestal? 'Appears under the moon. Disappears under the sun.'"
Sally then says out loud, "Hey, that's it!"
Sally grabs the talisman and says, "The ghosts show up when the moon's facing up!"
Seeing what Sally is up to, the Ghost King and his minions begin to fly towards the girls.
"And when the sun is up, they're in big trouble!" Sally adds, placing the talisman upside down.
Suddenly, the talisman with the sun up begins to glow and sends a bright light around the room from the ceiling. The ghost begins to panic as the light shines on them as the girls cover their eyes. However, that breaks the protective shield and Sonic spin dash past them. The ghost leaves Amy's mouth and the hedgehog begins to collapse. But Sonic catches her in the nick of time. Soon, Amy begins to wake up.
Sonic asks, "Amy, are you okay?"
Amy softly says turning to Sonic, "Oh, Sonic…"
Then pulls him to a hug, "Oh, Sonic!"
"Please, Amy, we still have to stop the ghost attack!" Sonic panics, being squished.
Just then, the little ghosts begin to attack them.
"I'll show you!" Sonic says, charges at the ghosts.
He then punches and kicks the ghosts coming in his path until King Boom Boo stands alone.
"Bring it on!" Sonic shouts.
The ghost king soon growled. Then most ghosts begin to attack. However, Amy runs over with their own weapons.
"You spooks better split right away!" Amy shouts.
The ghosts begin scared and Amy slams her hammer into the wall. The girls turn their heads to see five ghosts. They smile and spin around as they merge to become one ghost.
"You creeps can't creep me out anymore!" Amy shouts in rage and prepares her hammer for the attack.
Amy swings her hammer and says, "It's time to say goodbye!"
Amy then slams her hammer at the ghost and it crashes right into the wall. Amy huffs as one hand is on her hip. Eve then brings out her sword and begins to slice the ghost. Sonia and Manic hurry to her mother.
"Mother! Wake up!" Sonia says, worried.
"Mom, please," Manic says.
Aleena begins to groan as she opens her eyes, Her vision is blurry, but clears to see Sonia, Manic, and the others. Excluding Sonic, Amy, and Eve.
She softly says, "S-Sonia…? M-Manic…?"
"Wha-what happened?" Aleena asks.
"It's kind of a long story mom," Manic answers.
"Guys!" Sonic shouts.
Then everyone turns to see Sonic, and he says, "Get goin' now!"
"Here, Sonic!" Tails says, and tosses Sonic a Power Ring.
Sonic grabs it in his hand, "Thanks!"
The Power Ring glows in his hand as the Ghost King begins to smile. Soon, everyone leaves the room as Eve and Sally escort them out.
As Tails is going through, Sally says, "Go on; I'll catch up with you guys later."
Sally hurries back to the room and grabs the talisman She then leaves the room and goes back upstairs. Sonic's hand glows brighter and begins to rise into the air. Sonic then begins to spin dash around the room. Sonic then spin dashes the ghost and causes it to crash through the wall.
"See ya!" Sonic says giving the ghost a thumbs up and leaves the room.
Meanwhile, the group continues to hurry up the stairs.
"Are you okay, mother?" Sonia asks.
"I'm alright, just feeling a bit dizzy," Aleena says.
Sonic speeds up and asks Sally, "I thought you guys would be out of this place by now."
But Eve asks, "Did you stop the ghosts?"
Sonic shrugs his shoulders, "They didn't stand a ghost of a chance."
"Very funny," Sally says with her arms crossed.
Suddenly, King Boom Boo breaks out of the debris and bursts through the door.
"What?!" Sonic exclaims, hearing the crash.
Everyone looks down the stairs to see the Ghost king ramming through the stairs towards them.
"Okay, maybe I was wrong!" Sonic says.
Eve screams, "Let's get out of here!"
Everyone begins to make a run up the stairs. Sonic carries Aleena bridal style as they run out.
"Hurry, Sal!" Sonic shouts.
Amy brings out her hammer and slams her hammer at the stone pushing it on the stairs. Then Sally places the talisman back on the pedestal. A bright light glows from the pedestal causing everyone to shield their eyes.
Amy looks at the talisman and says, "We have the moon side up."
"Which means the sun should be down side, with the ghost trapped in there," Eve says.
Sally sighs, "That was too close."
"Yeah, big time," Sonic replies.
Suddenly, they hear someone shout, "Hey!"
Everyone turns their heads to see Uncle Chuck, Cream and Cheese, Dr. Cadberry and a few officers.
"Dr. Cadberry," Sonic says.
"Uncle Chuck!" Eve happily says.
Sonia and Manic run over, "Dad."
They both run to him and hug him. Uncle Chuck hugs them back.
Uncle Chuck says, "Thank goodness you're all safe."
"You really had us worried when Uncle Chuck told us what happened," Dr. Cadberry says.
"We're fine and we got out of there in one piece," Manic says.
"Nobody ever got away from the ghosts down there before," One of the officers says.
"But who are they?" Eve asks.
"And where did they all come from?" Tails asks.
"Well... some people say this place sits on an ancient burial ground. When the man who built the castle heard legends about ghosts, he laughed and said they were nonsense. Then the man disappeared the first night he stayed here, and nobody ever saw him again," Dr. Cadberry answers.
"Disappeared?" Sally asks.
"Yes. Legend says the ghost got him and made them into one of their own," The officer says.
"But what about the ta? It seems to be the only thing that stopped them," Sonia says.
"Well. that will lead me to the next part of my research. However, it is clear that the talisman is not to be removed again otherwise, the spirits of the house will come back," Dr. Cadberry says.
At the window of the mansions, two of the ghosts appear as they giggle with glee. Then fades away and the laughter disappears.
