Moon Chronicles: Trick-Or-Trouble

A Spiritual Encounter

Back in the basement, Mars continued to try and break down the door to get out. But he rowers just weren't enough as her flames appeared to die out as soon as she fired the blasts.

"Damn it!" Mars said, angrily. "It's hopeless. We really are trapped."

"Took you long enough." Raph scoffed.

"So, now what?" Makayla asked. "Do we just sit here forever and die of starvation?"

"No, there has to be another way." Leo said. "Keep searching around. Maybe we'll find something."

"It's pitch black down here!" Mars said. "How are we supposed to find anything?"

"Feel along the walls." April said. "Perhaps there's a light switch somewhere."

"How did we not think of that?" Raph said as he facepalmed. "We've got Mikey's brain right now."

"We're in a tight situation." Makayla said. "It's normal to not be there making straight at a time like this."

"Let's search for a light." Leo said.

At that moment, everyone scrambled to find some sort of light switch they could flip to turn on the lights.

Jake just sighed as he simply looked at the walls to find a light switch. 'I guess I won't bring up my night vision again.' He thought to himself. 'Just be a hero, Jake. That's all you need to do.'

"I'm not finding anything." Raph said, until he managed to finally grab on to something. "Oh, I feel something. It's squishy, though."

"Raph. . . that's me." April's voice said, causing Raph to jump back.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Raph said, stepping back and blushing in embarrassment. "Crap. . . I didn't mean to!"

"There's no light switch anywhere." Mars said. "We're just stuck in the dark forever!"

Jake sighed as he went to a wall and moved a couple of boxes out of the way and flipped a switch. When he did, the whole room lit up.

"Ah, you found a switch!" Makayla said. "Great work, bro!"

"How did you know where one was?" Mars asked.

"I saw one peeking out of this stack of boxes." Jake said. "Night vision, remember?"

"Oh, right." Makayla said.

At that moment, April suddenly shivered again as she felt another chill. But this time, it was more intense.

"Are you okay, April?" Jake asked.

"I. . . I can still sense that we're not alone." April said. "And I think something just brushed against me."

"It wasn't me this time." Raph said.

"Wait, aren't sudden chills a sign of a ghostly presence nearby?" Makayla asked.

"The air conditioning could just be on." Mars said.

"I think me and Raph would feel the drawbacks of the cold." Leo said. "We're cold-blooded, after all."

"Ah man, looks like I've been compromised." A soft voice suddenly said, sounding defeated. "Oh well. I guess I can show myself now."

"What the hell?" Mars said in confusion.

Suddenly a ghostly figure appeared out of thin air, right in front of them. And it appeared to be a young teen girl with messy long hair and was just wearing a nightgown.

"Oh my god. . . it's a ghost!" Mars cried out as she backed up a bit in fear.

"Wait, please don't be scared." The ghost girl said. "I'm not gonna harm you. I'm a good girl."
