A reminder: I'll be starting college in a couple of days, so I might take a while to post more chapters later on, but I won't stop writing it.

Enjoy!

Legend of the Ghost Guardians: Night of the Shadows

Chapter 8: A Short Reunion

-Prison Cell, Kibosh's Ship-

Luna and Chinook were resting until someone splashed them with cold water in order to wake them up. They woke up in surprise as they saw Hyena with an empty bucket and glared at him.

"Get up, lazy fools! It's time to bruise, not time to snooze! You know, I can't even look at you. You disgust me!"

"Have you looked into a mirror lately? Because you're no picnic either." Luna growled as she and Chinook prepared themselves for the fight.

-In the Arena-

"Are you ready for more?!" Kibosh announced his crew who cheered wildly. "Then without further ado...please give a hAAAArrrty welcome to... Moona and Silverfang... THE GHOST GUARDIANS!"

The kids came out as the gates opened. "And their opponent... needing little introduction..."

"The captain of crunch... the prince of pain himself..." Hyena continued on.

"The one and only... DEMON DESTROYER!" Kibosh finished.

The opponent is a ghost battle airship piloted by pirates, with big cannons, lasers, and even flamethrowers on the sides. It had a demon face on the front, making it look very menacing.

"It is on!" Moona cried out as she attacked.

"Save some for me!" Silverfang joined her.

The battle didn't last long as they were smart enough to trick the ship into crashing the walls, then using Chinook's ghostly howl to destroy the ship, thus defeating it easily. The pirates cheered for their victory and Ghost Writer enjoyed the fame.

"We totally rule. Maybe now we can ask for a room upgrade." He said as the kids sighed in annoyance.

-Prison Cell, Kibosh's Ship-

The kids were thrown roughly into their cells as the pirates closed the door.

"Can we least order some room service?" Ghost Writer asked the pirate who just left.

"Writer, don't you get it?" Luna said desperately. "We need to get out of here. Something terrible is going to happen."

"I know! If I don't get some food, I'll fade! I got it! Why don't you use your powers and blast the door open?" Ghost Writer told his idea, but Chinook shook his head in disagreement while Luna gave him the 'that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard' look.

"Moona, Chinook, you are in danger!" They saw Blazer outside their cell as he warned them. "I have a message for you from another prisoner. Here, take it." He then gave them a scroll that's addressed to them.

"Fan mail? News travels fast." Ghost Writer said surprisingly as he and the kids read the letter and it said:

Dear Friends,

There are whispers going about the ship. Word of your captivity has traveled quickly and many of the prisoners are uneasy. They say that the Ghost King himself has placed a bounty on you two and all of your ghost friends and family. These are dark times. But know this, you have allies. I look forward to the day when we can meet.

Hiro of the Yokai Warriors

"That was thoughtful. I particularly like the part about the dark times and the danger." Writer said sarcastically. Then a pirate came to their cell to collect them.

"It's show time!"

-In the Arena-

"Guests of the arena! We have exciting news for you regarding two of our combatants. Shall we bring them out?" Kibosh announced his crew as they opened the gates and Moona and Silverfang came out of it towards the center. "There is a rumor that these young Ghost Guardians may be of great importance. What say you, children? What greatness can you offer?"

"Kicking your butt would be the best offer." Luna taunted them.

"The only thing great you'll be showing us... is GREAT PAIN!" Hyena shouted.

"Bring out the Titan!" Kibosh called out the opponent.

The children gulped at the sight of their foe that was a giant humanoid ghost in golden armor, red eyes, and wields a long sword. The Titan laughed at his competition.

"Let's get this over with." Moona said as Silverfang agreed. Silverfang transformed into his wolf form and let his sister ride him with her sword at hand.

"Charge!" Moona cried out as they went into battle.

Their swords collided but the power was equal. It was then that Silverfang thought of a plan. The Titan was strong but slow, so Silverfang duplicated himself to create a ring of clones and started running around. They were moving so fast that the Titan was left confused since he couldn't find the real one. While the Titan was confused, Silverfang used his time powers and Moona took her chance to strike her foe. When time returned to normal, the Titan fell down defeated in battle.

The whole crowd cheered as the kids went towards the center as they waited for the captain to speak.

"Well, well. It appears we are amongst greatness. These children has defeated everything we've thrown at them." Kibosh calmly said as he listen the jeers of the crowd. "But fret not, oh faithful fans. Tonight... we have a special bonus match!"

"Oh what? Come on!" Moona complained as Silverfang groaned.

"The Ghost Guardians versus..." Kibosh announced. "The phantom of forever sleep and the former queen of conquer herself... Nocturne and Phantana!"

Moona and Silverfang were shocked to hear their friend's names as they saw Nocturne and Rebecca coming out of the gates and heading towards them. Even though they're happy to see them again, they were forced to fight them in the final match.

Ghost Writer gasped. "I told you that she was evil and Nocturne is with her. Great!"

As the crowd cheered, the four ghosts were staring at each other as they slowly walked around not letting go of their sights.

"Nocturne! I can't believe you're here." Moona said surprisingly.

"Yeah, but let's cut the reunion short and fight!" Nocturne calmly declared as he winked at her, giving her a sign that he's pretending to fight.

"Just like old times, huh guys?" Rebecca said thus reminding them of their last battle.

"Rebecca, I'm not going to fight you." Silverfang decided as he didn't want to hurt their friends, especially her.

"Relax." Rebecca whispered as she explained. "We're just trying to put on a show for the crowd while we figure out what to do." The Guardians were relieved to hear that.

"Don't trust her. It might be a trick!" Ghost Writer warned them.

Suddenly the reunion was cut short when they heard a screech and before they knew it, the arena was under attacked by wyverns and skeleton soldiers as they threw smoke bombs around the area.

"What's happening?" Silverfang coughed as the smoke blinded everyone.

"I want out... I want out..." Writer cried out as he tried to find an exit until he saw the wyvern's face roaring at him. "I want in...I want in!"

"Silverfang!" Moona cried out until she found him. They looked around the chaos as they searched for their friends. "Where are they? Nocturne!

"Rebecca!" Silverfang called out until he heard Rebecca's voice.

"Get away from me! Help!" Rebecca was captured by the soldiers as they flew away with Nocturne who was captured as well.

"Luna!" Nocturne cried out for help as he flew away.

"Nocturne!" Moona cried out to him in despair.

"Rebecca! NNOOO!" Silverfang tried to fly after them but was stop by Ghost Writer.

"Guys! This way! There's an opening!" He pointed to his direction towards an opened gate as they all ran to safety from the chaos.

Oh no! Nocturne and Rebecca are captured! Will they be saved before it's all over? Find out soon.
