Wow, I can't believe I actually got some reviews…well, I'm going to put up the 1st chapter early, 'cause I'm feeling good right now. Reviews! (grins)
shadowspinner1: As you wish. I wouldn't be much of a Sith Lord if I couldn't get others to do my bidding. (evil smile)
Esme Kali Phantom: Thanks! I guess this is a rather unique writing style…
Of course, not everyone can use a voice in their head for their OC's personality.
That is true…hey! I thought I told you, Voice, that you can't interrupt me!
Well sorrrrry! Humph.
Disclaimer: Wait a second, I've already been written! Look in the prologue to see it, savvy?
-----------------------------Chapter 1---------------------------------
Ah, greetings human. You have come at the right time: I have just finished tuning my Seeing Eye. I have decided to track the Hunter first, as it is late at night and Danny is sleeping. However, he is using his powerful stealth mode right now, so we won't be able to see much. Fear not, though, my Seeing Eye will be able to penetrate this cover; we just need to give it some time. It is rather fortunate that we can't see him now, since I wanted to discuss something with you anyway. I must tell you how the Phoenix is planning to deal with the ghosts.
You see, the Golden Phoenix is a very formidable human. He has gained the skills to be immune to fire, transform into a phoenix himself, and disperse ghosts. Not everyone can disperse a ghost. Most humans lack the knowledge of how to do so. The fact is this: Ghosts cannot be dispersed by man-made weapons, only by martial arts, magic, and transformation styles. And don't give me any crap about magic not existing; magic is among us. With proper training one can learn to control fire, ice, earth, or wind. Fire and ice is effective in anyone's hands, but earth and wind are different. Research has discovered that earth magic (known as the Stone Immortal style) is more effective when wielded by one with a pure heart. Likewise, the Tempest (wind) style works better when a black-hearted individual uses it. The Phoenix uses the Tempest and Dire Flame styles. (I trust you know what the Dire Flame stands for, right?) Now that you know that Phoenix uses Tempest you must think that he's evil. Well guess what: you're absolutely right. The Hunter uses many dark methods to get rid of ghosts, but hey: he's well paid.
Now that I've told you about the magic I might as well tell you about the others too. There are 4 martial styles that are used for ghost-hunting. Those are: Legendary Strike, Leaping Tiger, Thousand Cuts, and White Demon. The styles are very powerful in the hands of a master. Legendary Strike consists of mostly kicks, and those kicks are fast. Leaping Tiger uses- uh, what do you call that character? Oh yes, Wolverine-like blades on your hands to slice through your opponents. Thousand Cuts does not use a sword like its name implies, but instead uses lightning-fast punches to overwhelm your foe. White Demon is slower than the others, but its strong kicks do more damage. Phoenix happens to use Leaping Tiger and Thousand Cuts to thrash his enemies.
You're must be still wondering about the whole "dispersing" deal. Well, it's quite simple, really. You have to know that you can't kill a thing that is already dead. So instead when you deal the ghost enough damage with one of the styles I mentioned it disperses. It's kind of like you're disrupting its form. The ghost doesn't stay dispersed forever though. It takes a long time (the stronger the ghost is, the less time it takes) but the ghost will reform and be as good as new soon enough. So how is the Hunter planning to get rid of the ghosts forever you ask? Well, when he-
Oh, my Seeing Eye seems to be picking up something! I'll have to get back to you on this subject later, but for now we must tune in to this…
123scene change321
A lone figure stands on top of a hill overlooking Amity Park. His long red robe with golden, fiery markings ripples in the wind. A hood blocks his face, but he seems to be studying the quiet, sleeping town. The strange warrior places a cigarette in his mouth and conjures a small flame in his hand. As the man brings up the flame to light the toxic cylinder we can briefly see a scarred face with bright, gold eyes. The Golden Phoenix smokes silently, never taking his eyes off of Amity.
"I AM THE BOX GHOST! BEWARE!" an obnoxious voice suddenly shouts.
The Hunter turns around to see the blue, meager ghost floating just about a couple feet from him. He stares at him calmly, obviously not afraid in the least.
"You have a box with you, I have seen it!" the Box Ghost continues. "Once I empty it of its cylinder-shaped items, I shall be able to use it for my box-themed lair!"
Phoenix sighed. He had been hoping for more of a challenge, not this pathetic weakling. Still, he was hired to dispose of all of Amity's spirits, this one included. A fireball formed in his hand, and he threw it at the Box Ghost. The red-eyed ghost burst into flame and flew around in circles, screaming.
Unfazed, Phoenix unsheathed three long claws from each of his gauntlets and leapt at the ghost, slashing it repeatedly. The ghost wasn't very strong, so it fell quickly. As the Box Ghost began to disperse, the Hunter took out a palm-sized gem that glowed first green, then blue, and after that red, then started over at green again. With his hand glowing with fire, he held the glowing gem up in the air. Its color then locked to red, and it began to glow brighter and brighter. The fading ecoplasmic energy of the Box Ghost was sucked up into the gem, which then started to cycle through the colors after it was finished. Phoenix concealed the gem, and then began to stare ominously at the city below once more.

Wow, Golden Phoenix is one bad dude. I wonder what that gem is? I don't know yet.
If any of you have played Jade Empire (which I do not own) then you'll recognize the magic and martial styles from the game. I decided to use them in this story because I think they're pretty cool. The dispersing thing is from Jade Empire too.
So, please review! The Go button is your friend, and you don't reject your friends, now do you? If you do you're evil. Remember that.
But evil is fun, right Dark Lady?
…Right. Just so you know, the italics outside of the story is the voice-in-my-head speaking. Even though I don't want him to.
See you guys soon,
Dark Lady of the Sith
