Ghost Musketeer/Stone Man
I watched as the tall man turned his entire skin into solid stone and then began swinging them at me. With me quickly dodging while doing my best not to be hit. As he tried to kick me and quickly phased through his leg. Who then started moving towards his boss. Ready to give Mad Fortune the beating he deserves. When something strange happened. For I suddenly appeared back in my normal form and not by choice. Who wasn’t sure how this happened.

Ghost Musketeer/No Power
Knowing this was bad I tried turning myself invisible. Yet that didn’t seem to work and wasn’t sure what was going on here. But knew this was the worst timing possible. As the stone man started attacking me again. With me dodging and also having little choice but to retreat. Then dare risk getting crushed by this tall strong man. Who saw me run and began chasing after me. Which was very bad as I kept moving an soon ducked into someone’s home. After the owner stepped outside. With me rushing towards the back doorway and the stone man smashing through the door frame like it were nothing. An still chasing me. As I fled through the back and kept going for a while. Trying my absolute hardest to shake this evil stubborn man off my back.

Ghost Musketeer/Walking Crusher
Smashing through whatever obstacle I could throw at him. I was still running until spotting an open man hole cover ahead. That’s when he saw me rush towards it before ducking into the city sewers. Where he was thankfully unable to follow. Allowing myself to escape this time. Though what worried me the most right now. Was why my powers weren’t working?! Who kept moving for a while until I eventually made it safely back to my hiding spot. Where I sat there silently. Trying my hardest to figure out what was going on with my powers. Before things get really bad for me.

Ghost Musketeer/Officer Surprise
About two days have gone by and my powers were still not working properly. Who couldn’t understand what was going on an also growing very worried. For if my powers were suddenly disappearing. With these two threats still running loose in the city of Paris. Then things were going to get very horrible. As I got an unexpected visit from none other then Officer Pier, member of Time Police. A police force from the faraway future. Who time travel to stop folks or things from changing major parts of history. Who looked at me and spoke. Hello D’Artagnan. It’s been a long time. Since we’ve scene one another. Facing him I knew this wasn’t good. Since I had wiped his memory once before. To prevent them from wiping my own memories and throwing me back into the past. As I reply in a nervous voice. So it has officer. An.....might I ask. What this visit is all about? He told me. We know about your problem and have come to assist you. For the safety of France.

Ghost Musketeer/The Tests
After having some fellow officers come into the back of the tailor shop. They used their high tech gear to closely examine me as Officer Pier asked me. Did you happen to touch anything strange or unusual? On the night your powers started to become affected? I simply replied. No, not at all. He seem to believe this as they kept running their strange tests on me. When one of the men here spoke. I think I’ve got something. Curious Officer Pier asked him. What did you find? He told him. It seems that our French hero here. Has been exposed to what looks like some sort of electricity. Which seems to be targeting his superpowers. Feeling confused here he asked. Can your equipment tell what could have done this?The man quickly checked while typing on his lab top and the results not being good. He replied. I’m afraid not. But from what it’s telling me. It seems something from outside of this time line. Is responsible for this problem.

Ghost Musketeer/Strange Shock
Looking at me Officer Pier spoke. D’Artagnan, did anything strange happen to you? Before this problem happened? An I mean anything. I did my best to think hard here and soon thought of something. Who spoke. When I was trying to find Mad Fortune. I was zapped by something. An never what it might have been. That’s when the lawman spoke. Then it seems whoever or whatever is responsible. Might have either been invisible or somehow. Opened a tiny portal through time. In order to affect you. I was completely shocked by all of this. As one of the other men spoke with this concern look on their face. Who or what would want to dare affect Ghost Musketeer? Knowing the danger of changing history? Officer Pier answered with a serious expression. Someone or something very evil. That doesn’t want Paris to have a hero anymore.

Ghost Musketeer/Little Options
Knowing this was seriously bad I asked him. How do we fix this? Looking at me Officer Pier told me. You aren’t doing anything. Since France still needs you to protect her from those terrible villains. While my fellow Time Police officers an I. Shall try to track down the source of the mysterious energy. An arrest whoever is responsible. Feeling troubled here I asked. What if The Tower shows up an comes after me? Officer Pier simply reply. Run for your life. Which wasn’t exactly helpful advice. As he and the men left the tailor shop right away. Leaving me within a terrible spot.

Ghost Musketeer/Weakened Hero
With Time Police gone to try and find whoever had affected me. I was stuck doing my evening patrol. An with my powers not working, it made this much more dangerous. Since I was still being hunted by Mad Fortune’s men. Who were currently marching around as German soldiers. Trying their best to find me. By forcing their way into homes an questioning everyone they’ve encountered. Who knew this was bad. Since I couldn’t exactly rush in like I normally did. An would have to fight them more smart, then foolish. As one of them spotted me and shouted. There he is! That’s when I ran as they began firing. Who thankfully missed and then started chasing after me on foot. As I kept running while thinking of a plan as well.

Ghost Musketeer/Messy House
Moving fast here I ducked into someone’s open home and started shouting to everyone within the living room. Get out of here now! With the scared family doing what I just said here. By fleeing out the back doorway and me arming myself with my sword an dagger. Before standing my ground as the German soldiers came inside and started attacking me head on. Who blocked some of their sword strikes, while also slashing with my dagger. An wounding many of these men where they stood. For there was no way I was losing my life this night. Not when Paris was under my protection. Who kept at it until they all went down. An thought the fight was over. Until it happened.

Ghost Musketeer/Smash Entry
Smashing his way through the wooden back wall The Tower an looked pretty mad. As I quickly moved past the wounded German soldiers an hurried out the front doorway. With The Tower quickly circling around an started chasing after me. Who knew this was bad and kept running. Since I had no clue on how to defeat him, in my current state. When my eyes saw the police up ahead. Who started aiming their rifles and then shooting at the tall stone man behind me. Which seem to barely wound him at all. As he kept coming this way in anger and me shouting. Move! Which they quickly did. Then allow themselves to be crushed by his stone fists. With me still running and starting to grow tired. Which was the worst thing that can happen. When in a very bad mess.

Ghost Musketeer/Swimmer
Still running here and unsure on how to get into the sewers before The Tower manages to grab hold of me. I started getting an idea as I quickly grabbed a nearby abandoned horse and then rode quickly towards the nearest bridge of here. With The Tower still running after me while shouting. You will not escape! With me still riding until getting there and quickly got off the horse. Before boldly jumping into the water below. With him seeing this and then shouting in anger. No....! As I held my breath for as long as I could. While also swimming towards the nearest safe point. Where I rose up and managed to give him the slip. Allowing me to survive this time. Though I fear the next time I won’t be so lucky.
