Legend of the Ghost Guardians: Night of the Shadows

Chapter 9: Prison Break

-Inside Kibosh's Ship-

Luna and Chinook made it into the ship, but at least they're out of danger for now.

"What are we doing here? We have to save our friends!" Luna yelled.

"First, we have to save ourselves from this chaos." Ghost Writer argued.

Chinook then said to them. "I want to save them too, Luna, but we can't do anything in this mess." He comforted her. "Don't worry; we'll find them. First we have to get out of here."

"I guess you're right. Let's go." Luna sighed sadly. She wanted to help her friends, but her brother was right. They have to leave the ship, so she followed them.

They went on their way until they saw the many obstacles on the way such as pirates, burning rubble, and many explosions on their path.

"I think things just got more complicating." Chinook groaned just after he studied the whole area.

Ghost Writer replied. "Good. I was afraid that escaping the burning ship would be too easy."

They managed to get passed the destruction and made it to the hall where the prison cells were and the prisoners are still locked in. At the end of the hall, they saw their friend Blazer trying to help free Solareons form their cells. They ran up to him to help him.

"Blazer! The ship's under attack. We have to get off this thing!" Chinook warned him.

Blazer was panicking at he couldn't budge the bars to open. "Silverfang, Moona, please, my people are still being held prisoner and the chamber gates are locked! We'll need to find a way to open them."

The children agreed to help their friend once again. "Okay. Sit tight. We'll come back for you."

Later on they found the locking mechanism in another chamber and together, they sabotaged it causing all the prisoners to be released including the Solareons.

"Follow us to the life boats!" Luna ordered the Solareons who quickly obeyed and made it outside where the boats are. Chinook helped them get on the boat and Blazer was the last to get on it.

"Okay, Blazer, you're safe." Chinook said. "Get far away from here and back home where you belong."

"Thank you, my old friends, thank you very much." Blazer said gratefully. "I hope we can meet again... perhaps under better circumstances, hmm?"

Chinook and the others nodded in agreement. "Good luck, Blazer." He said as he waved farewell to the Solareons as they rowed away from the danger back home.

"Hey! That guy just gave me an idea!" Ghost Writer declared. "Why don't WE get off the burning boat?!"

"Not yet." Luna shook her head. "We need a map to a place called Silver Island... and I think I know where we can find one."

"Please don't tell me..." Writer begged.

"In the Captain's quarters." She finished.

"You know I hate you right now, right?" Writer said with frustration.

-Captain's Quarters, Kibosh's Ship-

The kids finally managed to reach the quarters despite all the commotion and chaos that was happening right now. Inside was the captain's desk and all the treasure he collected on his voyage, but the whole place was burning as flames were everywhere.

"Whoa... Look at all this stuff." Chinook said as he explored.

"Oh sure. Take your time and look around." Ghost Writer complained. "It's not like we're about to plummet to our DEATHS in heap of FLAMING..."

"Okay! We get it!" Luna stopped him there. "Let's find the map." They found the map on the desks and tried to find the island from there, but they were interrupted by none other than Captain Kibosh himself and his pitiful lackey Hyena.

"Well... if it isn't the ghost menaces. We hoped you weren't... thinking of leaving."

"Yeah! We got a score to settle, CHUMP!" Hyena insulted them.

"Hey! Who are you calling chump?" Ghost Writer angrily asked.

"You, fool! YOU!" Hyena laughed.

"It's astounding... the amount of trouble you've managed to cause." The captain said calmly as he blamed them.

"You've only brought it on yourselves." Luna explained.

"Well, I'll just make sure you'll pay for all this!" Kibosh then took out his sword as Luna took out hers.

"If it's a fight you want, then bring it on! One on one!" Luna challenged the captain in a duel to the finish.

The captain chuckled and agreed. "You're on! No funny business or tricks!"

"Deal." she said as they all went outside for the duel.

"Luna, you can do this. I know you can." Chinook encouraged her. "Fight well."

Luna stared at the captain and took a deep breath. "Brother, if anything happens to me, leave and finish our mission. Don't interfere."

Both sides then charged with their swords and clashed. Ghost Writer and Chinook cringed as the battle begun. This is the first battle that Luna ever faced alone and they both worry for her. The battle kept on for a few minutes with either side winning. Luna clashed with Kibosh and managed to slice his hooked arm off when she got the chance. The captain chuckled evilly as he underestimated his foe.

"Don't think I'm going easy on you just because you're a girl." He taunted.

"I didn't think so although I don't know what would be more humiliating: being beaten by a girl or being beaten by a kid?" She taunted back.

Kibosh growled as he charged at her but she blocked him just in time and shove him off. Luna was about to strike but Kibosh then threw ashes at Luna, thus blinding her. He took this chance and slashes at her left leg and kicked her away. She was breathing heavily as blood was leaking out of the cut and glared at Kibosh.

"Hey, no fair! You cheated!" Ghost Writer shouted. Chinook was about to help her but Luna stopped him, reminding him of their deal. She struggled to stand on her leg and limped forward.

"Is that all, little girl?" Kibosh said tormenting her at each insult. "Is that all, soon-to-die?" He kept hitting her each time he asked and she was enduring it with all her might. "Is that all, huh!?"

Luna then finally stands up despite her leg and hid her sword behind her while waiting for her moment to strike.

"IS THAT ALL!?"

And she suddenly uses her sword by slicing his mandible off, silencing him! Everyone was shocked at the horrid sight. Then Luna uses her sword and stabbed him in the chest, killing him with mercy.

"Yes. That is all. That is all!" Luna cried out in her victory as Ghost Writer and Chinook came to her.

"Luna, I thought I lost you." Chinook said.

"Come on. You know I can't be killed that easily." She said as she hugged him. Ghost Writer smiled and took his scarf to wrap Luna's leg injury. "Writer, your scarf..."

"That old thing? Don't worry, it's replaceable unlike you." He answered. Then suddenly Hyena came out and shouted.

"I don't need the captain to take out you fools! I pity the fool that messes with us. Welcome to the world of hurt!"

Ghost Writer have had enough of this jerk and punched him right at his face, knocking him out. The children were surprised by his action. "Hooo-ahh! That felt good!"

"Let's get out of here!" Chinook said as he, Luna, and Ghost Writer finally left the ship and flew towards their destination.

-Atlantic Ocean-

They group were flying somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean as they listened to Ghost Writer's speeches.

"Did... did you see me back there? I was like... BAM! And he was all...oof!" He said as he enjoyed telling the story of how he punched Hyena right at his face. "Which reminds me... where are we going?"

"We didn't get a very long look at the map, but... there's got to be some sort of landmark." Chinook admitted.

"It said it was located somewhere called... the Bermuda Triangle. But I don't know if we're going the right way."

"Sure. I'll just keep my eyes peeled for the flashing sign that says SPOOKY GHOST CAVE!" Ghost Writer said sarcastically.

But suddenly both Luna and Chinook were starting to feel dizzy once again and started to fall towards the ocean. Ghost Writer panic as he saw them fall and followed them down below.

"Oh no... Please tell me you're just pulling over to go to the bathroom!"

The two children kept falling until they made contact to the ocean and began to sink into the deep water. They would have drowned if they hadn't suddenly landed onto the back of a creature called a Leviathan which is a docile sea ghost who dwells in the Ghost Zone but tends to dwell in the oceans of the human world as well. It resembles a giant sea turtle with three pairs of flippers.

The leviathan rose up to the surface and carried Luna and Chinook to its destination while Ghost Writer followed them.
