Three days after the party - 11:00 a.m - Outside Guardian Headquarters

*ZZZZZHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

*HISSSSSSSSsssss *step *step *step *step *step

"That is your base? Looks like just any ordinary condo."

"Ahh, but you haven't seen the inside of it. Just act normal and you'll be fine. Well, you should be fine since you are the second one to join. The first one was like you, all screaming and asks the same questions. But he's getting along with one of my previous ancestors."

"Oh, ok. When do we face this "hidden evil" you are talking about?" Johan asked,

"Weren't you listening? It's hidden as in, we are still in the search for it."

"Oh man, and my mom blindly said yes to your "agreement" back there."

"Ah, don't worry. She'll learn the truth once she saw you fighting a giant tentacle monster or a corrupt official. You'll never know~~" Johan slightly cringed at his reply, later on they arrived at the main door of the HQ.

"And what about the ghosts I saw few days ago. Will they act weird?"

"What do you mean "act weird", those guys saved my life countless of times, not to mention the ancestors I was talking about earlier. If those guys were like real ghosts then I would be terrified and would not exist. ever." Johan then recalled about the lady she saw inside the jet.

"Well, what about the woman I saw, she was wearing blue robes and yellow edges. She is beautiful, but that does not change the fact that she is a ghost."

"Ahh, she is Julieza the Blessed. The first Guardian ever existed on Earth. She assisted the ransack on Constantinople against the Latin Empire, together with the Knights of the Round Table and Jeanne D' Arc. Her powers are only two, Resurrection and Rapture so unless you died, she can bring you back into the fight, however she has her limits. Right now, she is still practicing new ones herself."

"WHAAAAAAT? I DON'T BELIEVE THAT! Having the power of God? That's just downright unbelievable!" Johan yelled in disbelief, but the same girl she saw three days ago went to them to greet.

"Hello again, new recruit. I see Richard here already told you about my story how I became like this and my powers?

"Is it really true? You can cast those spells?" Johan was now curious on what she had to say,

"Yes, I can use my staff to restore lost souls so they can have another chance to live again. However, as for my other ability, it only works when everything is in catastrophe."

"Oh, well, what about your story? Is it true you helped the King Arthur and his men during the Fourth Crusade? And if so, how come I haven't heard of you in today's history books. Only the Pope's men were able to accomplish that, but he never specified who." Julieza was about to answer, but another ghost came to greet the return party.

"She did it with her own hands and saw it with both of her eyes. As for the whole "history" thing, she ain't famous, girly. Back then, no people stayed nor watched the whole thing except for the ones who suffered but you get the idea. She married Sir Galahad, one of the knights, but now she moved on, making Ralph as her "boyfriend" or some shit. Meanwhile, I, on the other hand, had gain a little bit of fame before I passed away." Johan raised an eyebrow since she did not saw him back on the jet.

"Oh crap, forgot we never met. Ha ha ha" he then extends his hand to her, "Joshua Fritz, or Blitz as my friends call me. The second Guardian and the first to use the one and only Gatling Gun, though I had to trade my arm for it." Johan shook his hand (even if it's a ghost) and noticed the gun, gasping in awe.
