Rising King

Chapter 12: Veni, Vidi, Vici

Third person POV
The Day

It was peaceful morning in the New York City. The mass of people, hurrying somewhere and minding their own business, created natural flow, typical for such a megapolis. Cars and trains were very loud, making a lot of noise. Now all the attention was glued to the United Nations Comitee building, where Head of the GIW was preparing to make a speech.

However now, the building of peace didn't match it's name. There was the whole militia in white suits. All agents were armed to teeth. Better be safe than sorry, right? Lockwood was a cautious man. It was given from birth, or so he thought.

Since William was a kid, he always believed in ghosts' existence. That was before Fentons opened a doorway into their world. Everything started from his grandfather. He told his grandson a story about ghost under his bed. When grandfather was little, it was during Second World War, his mother was once putting him to sleep. Ghost came from under his bed. William remembered grandfather's description of him. Ghost had white hair and glowing green eyes, wearing black and white costume. Only one fit this look. Phantom. When Lockwood looked at him for the first time, it all clicked. So, calling it 'Ghost Boy' would be a mistake. 

And now William was approaching the tribune, completely unaware about pair of eyes, watching him invisibly.

Amity Park

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Asked Valerie.

"Trust me, if something explodes in this town, GIW are there the next second," Jazz responded.

They played their own part in this plan. Valerie decided to help, because it was a chance for her and her father to return home. Even if Danny gave them a wonderful apartment, they still preferred to live in Human world. There wasn't much ghosts, assisting pair of young women. However, Amity Park division held a lot of them inside. All they needed is to befree the prisoners. 

But they needed a distraction. Explosion will do well. Explosion in GIW weapon manufacture will do perfectly. Luckily, there is a lot of hazardous materials, all you need is simple spark. There wasn't much guards in the compound yet. Valerie got on the roof with the help of Red Huntress' hoverboard. Danny modified her costume, adding stealth camouflage, which makes wearer invisible. From there, she got inside the facility.

There was everything you expect from factory. Giant machine-tools, conveyers, moving through entire facility. It can be a good lead to her destination. Quietly walking besides black conveyor lines and avoiding guards, who looked like the most stupid things in the world, diversant got to the arsenal. Knocking out agents nearby, Valerie lifted hand of one of them and put it on scanner, opening the door.

Weapons. Weapons were everywhere. It was pretty stupid. Making hundreds of weapons without ammo isn't very smart. Well, GIW just proved themselves to be idiots. Again. But Valerie didn't have time to think about it. She placed a few bombs in the most important places and hurried to get out from this place. Once she was outside and on fair distance, Valerie called Jazz.

"It's time"

Ghost Zone, Danny's lab

"We are ready to attack, sir!" Declared skeleton ghost, dressed in Ancient Roman armor.

"Good, It's time we proceed and show humans our might!" Said Fright Knight leading his soldiers inside the portal.

"Dear fellow humans," Lockwood started his speech, "you all probably know the reason I'm currently standing in front of you. The reason are ectoplasmical entities known as ghosts. Until three years ago they were considered nothing but a myth, a silly stories you tell near campfire. Now we know that this creatures are very much real. They are flying around, destroying our property, injuring the innocent people. And what happens after that? Ghosts just dissappear before we can do anything"
