Salut! Çomment-allez vous?

(In English: Hi, how are you)

But forget the French lesson, I managed to pull off writing this entire chapter on my phone. I apologize for any mistakes, my phone has a really weird autocorrect XP. This chapter clears up any other questions you have and someone actually doesn't die in this one!

Beyond His Reach

Blinky speedily led his crew through the Oasis desert, the three ghosts were trailing just as fast behind him. Full of determination, and a newfound mission, the Ghost Crew raced through the desert.
Soon green patches of grass began to widen to an entire valley of green. "Greenwood Grove." Blinky announced.
Clyde huffed slightly in an attempt to catch his breath. "Why didn't we just phase here?"
Pinky blushed slightly. "Yeah why didn't we?"
Blinky rolled his eyes. "It's too late for that now, we're already here. Now keep your eyes open for Pac-Man, and remember this is not a vacation. So no cookie stops!" He added directly at Clyde, who sighed with indignation.
"Remember our mission here." Blinky finalized, allowing the ghosts to scatter. Though just before anyone could move, a yellow ghost catcher laughed playfully. "You ghosts are always causing trouble." Pac-Man giggled.
Blinky groaned. "Pac-Man..."
Pinky floated forward. "We need your help Pac-Man. This is a life or death situation that could destroy the Pac World if we waste time!"
The yellow cookie-eater jumped with surprise. "Whoa! Slow down there, Pinky! What's going on?"
Blinky sighed and started from the beginning if their journey, to Celebration Ave to Mirage Oasis. With the help of his followers, the red ghost finished the whole tale of Winky and the Darkness.
"Why wasn't I told about this sooner?!" Pac-Man asked when they finished.
Each ghost was silent, unsure of how to really answer the question.
"That's irrelevant right now." Inky snapped breaking the silence. "Right now, my sister is in danger, and you're the only one who can help us save her."
Pac-Man nodded seriously. "Well, if the Darkness was looking for the Oasis Jade, and has killed Roger...it must be trying to activate all of the gems to open a dark alternate reality..."
Clyde sighed. "Why can't bad guys be simpler like us?"
"Anyways...If Roger is dead, the Celebremerald has been activated...and most likely stolen from the cake. The Oasis Jade is obviously gone...but, there is a chance Patra is still alive-"
"What!?" Pinky exclaimed.
"Alright, calm down Pinky..." Pac-Man said trying to calm down his heart rate from the mini heart attack Pinky gave him.
"Since you said that the Darkness has taken Patra's body...and the Jade has been activated...Patra and her soul are alive, her soul may be tainted but it still lives. Now all we have to do is reunite Patra with the Jade and she will come back to us...There are some slight drawbacks like being cursed for life, half evil, and so on, but she'll be fine."
Pinky hopped up with excitement. "That's great!"
"What about my sister?" Inky asked hopefully.
"Well...she's already dead...I'm pretty sure she couldn't die twice...unless you ate her...but we all know that doesn't work...But Pinky's theory about her being possessed...there is a possibility of that happening. But I can't think of any reason why the Darkness would want her...unless she's the Guardian of the Spooky Hallow Diamond, and if she is...the Spooky Hallow Diamond is doomed."
"Do you know who the guardian is?" Inky asked.
Pac-Man shrugged. "Sorry Inky, I have no idea. All I know is that when the gem of a location forms it's guardian can't live without it, and vice versa. I happen to be the Guardian of the Greenwood Peridot-not the best job I've ever had, but it's better than nothing."
The ghosts exchanged a worried look. "Then you're in danger Pac-Man..."
The cookie eater chuckled lightly. "Oh don't worry about me, there's no way the Darkness can get a hold of my gem. It'd have to go through a whole heap of cookies to get to it. Now what do you ghosts plan on doing next?"
Four sets of eyes turned to Blinky who dazed off a while ago.
"Uh Blinky?" Pac-Man started.
The red ghost jolted awake. "I wasn't sleeping..."
Inky shook his head. "Dude..."
Blinky rolled his eyes. "What was the question?"

In the forever night of Spooky Hallow, three shapes were gathered in the grave yard. A witch flew over their heads, cackling with her evil laughter. "Now Winky, you really don't want to work against me, you already know the powers I possess." One of the figures threatened.
A second figure floated inside of a large bubble-like prison. "Even if I knew I would never tell you!"
The third figure snorted. "You can't lie, Winky. It's impossible, especially since I've been searching through your memories, your thoughts, deepest fears..."
"I wish Inky were here so he could give you a ghost smack down!"
The third and first figures laughed darkly.
"Oh that brother of yours? He couldn't fight himself out of a paper bag! After all, it is what you thought." The third figure taunted.
Winky growled. "That is not what I thought, and you know it!"
The third figure swam lazily through the air, and stopped in front of the bubble. "Oh?" The ghost phased herself into the bubble, making Winky even bolder.
The other ghost floated circles around Winky. "Well obviously, Inky isn't here. And your boyfriend-"
"He's not my boyfriend!"
"That's not what you were thinking...I believe you called him attractive at the Oasis..."
Winky was silent.
"Exactly, now back to that Diamond..." Before Winky could protest her knowledge towards it, the other ghost disappeared and Winky's eyes went from green to red.
"Oh Daaaaaaarrrrrrkness!" She sang.
The first figure stepped forward, pressing its furry face on the bubble's frame as if it were a child goggling at candy. "What is it?"
The red-eyed Winky smiled. "Weeeeellllll. She definitely knows about the Diamond, but her knowledge on its whereabouts are uncertain...however...Unknowingly she has made contact with the Guardian recently..."
The Darkness flicked its tall ear curiously. "When was the last time you have searched her memory records?"
'Winky' giggled gleefully. "Oh when we were searching for the Diamond here last. That was when she met those peons...It's seems like she has only made physical contact with one...and that is when the Diamond signal was strongest."
"Which one of those ghosts have my Diamond?" Te Darkness growled.
"Oh my, what a lovely surprise...Darkness..."
"Well?! WHO IS IT?"
"The red one, Darkness. He has the Spooky Hallow Diamond, sire..."

I love this chapter! Not only does everyone live, but we learn a little bit about Winky's possessor, whlove think is hysterical XD.

Epicness. I really have nothing more to say though XP. So see ya' later alligators.
