LYDIA DEETZ AND THE HAWAIIAN GHOST
Chapter 1: Arrival at Kanooka
There was nothing but a flash of light from a spherical object. It wasn't a perfect sphere; it looked more like a half-digested eye that pulsed every couple of seconds. The eye was taken by a pair of hands scorched by fire, which gently led the eye to the breast of the silhouette of what appeared to be a woman.
“Don't worry, you are mine and mine alone," said a curvilinear woman (phantom) with her body completely burned....
.
.
A small cruiser goes up the waves under a completely clear sky and approaches the port of a tropical island.
“Welcome to the Hawaiian island of Kanooka, ladies and gentlemen, the captain wishes you a pleasant stay on the spot” was heard over the loudspeaker from the cruise ship when it arrived at the island port.
Few travelers got off the ship, all of them dressed in typical Hawaiian costumes for tourists with the exception of a young couple. A couple of children who wore black clothes and who were apparently immune to the ubiquitous heat of the place. The girl was wearing a Gothic dress with a long skirt and the boy was slightly more casual, but just as dark. Apparently the boy had a stomachache and the girl helped him walk.
“Do you feel better now, Percy?” Lydia asked worried.
“Ufff, I'm not used to traveling by sea, the seasickness and something I ate made me feel very bad, when I went to the bathroom it was as if I was passing a rock," complained Percy, who fortunately had not forgotten to hide his ears and tail (he is a Cat Boy).
After a short tour they arrived at the only hotel on the island, apparently the place did not have much tourist development. The establishment was picturesque with the typical island decoration of the place; both Charles and Delia were very enthusiastic as they checked in with the administrator.
“I wonder why they look so happy Lydia.”
“I don't know, Percy, but if they look this lively, it means it's not a good thing.”
The Deetzes took a room with two beds (even though they were married) and both Lydia and Percy had their own rooms overlooking the beach.
.
.
At dusk the Deetz enjoyed a delicious dinner with local delicacies, Percy was thrilled with the variety of local seafood.
The adults took the opportunity to inform the children that they were planning to build a tourist complex on the spot.
“"Paradise Deetz", that will be the name, what do you guys think," Charles said smilingly.
"Hum, I don't know, I guess a resort will bring some economy to the place," Lydia said, looking at Percy, who didn't see anything wrong with that idea.
“And tell me, you will surely decorate the place with autochthonous elements," said Lydia fearing the answer.
“Of course not fool, I mean silly,” corrected herself by looking at Charles, “it is obvious that the decoration will be ordered by your dear mommy.”
“You're not my "dear mommy" Delia” - contradict her Lydia.
She knew she had made a mistake and that her father's reproach would soon come to her, but at that point someone brought the "shark fin soup". Lydia was uncomfortable with the dish and explained to her parents why she was against eating something that contributed to the systematic and brutal extermination of sharks. With this she had the perfect excuse to leave the table and go to her room, not without making it clear to Percy that he could eat the soup without worries.
.
.
Deciding not to waste the morning, the kids went for an early walk on the beach, thus preventing the Deetz from imposing ridiculous costumes on their daughter.
“Lydia... you should have tasted the shark fin soup, it was delicious...” dared to say Percy a little nervous.
“Look Percy, I'm glad you liked the soup, but I don't think I could enjoy it, don't think I'm angry with you or judging you," said Lydia after sighing and smiling at the cat boy.
Already relaxed, Percy and Lydia with their little fingers intertwined went to explore the island. The size of the island fooled them, it was larger than they suspected at first and at the end they reached a clearing of tropical vegetation in which several heads were carved on the sand.
“It can't be!” Lydia exclaimed, with her eyes wide open, "these sculpted heads are the same as those of Easter Island, but that's impossible, the Easter Island is located in the South Pacific Ocean and belongs to Chile, while we are in the northern hemisphere. The only large sculpted heads I know so far north are the Olmec heads in Mexico, I don't understand anything.”
“Nya, you're super Lydia, I didn't know that, you're super smart.”
Lydia sent him a nervous smile as she saw an islander approaching. He was a slender and nervous man with a short beard; he looked so old that the kids were surprised at the graceful and calm way in which he walked.
“Sorry I scared you, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation, you really are smart, but I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself, I'm Maui and I'm the shaman of the island,” said the old man after laughing funnyly.
“Nice to meet you, this is my friend Percy and I'm Lydia.”
“You know a lot about Easter Island, but if you look closely you will see that these heads are different.”
Lydia, looking more closely at the sculpted heads, turned to one and could see that unlike the Easter Island heads, Kanooka Island heads had a more bulbous nose.
“So, do you know magic too?” Percy asked.
“Yes, I am the last shaman not only of the Kanooka, but of the islands," said the man with a sad expression.
“Hotdog I can't believe it," said happy Percy for finding a shaman.
“The last one?” Lydia asked.
“That’s right, none of the young people on the island have the magical power to take my place, nor does any man or woman on the other islands have that power” the man looked at the boys with sorrow, but then he narrowed his eyes and looked more closely at the children.
“I see that you have magical power running through your bodies.”
“Yes, Lydia has magical powers, she can see the aura of people and other things like trees, to see if they are good or bad, she can communicate with ghosts, she can read the tarot cards perfectly," listed Percy totally happy, while exposing his ears and tail.
“I see," laughed Maui, who apparently was not surprised to see Percy, the Cat Boy, but rather pleased.
The shaman took Lydia's hands and asked her if she wanted him to teach her magic, which Lydia gladly accepted. Maui told the kids that the magic of the islands was especially powerful because it all came from a pillar of magma that came directly from the center of the earth, the islands of Hawaii arose from that pillar of magma unlike the rest of the continents and islands of the planet that emerged from the oceans by the collision of tectonic plates. The magic of the island was not very varied but the shaman would teach Lydia "Magic Tsunami", a superior magic power because the man was very sick and surely would not have time to teach her other more basic aspects of magic.
.
.
It was dusk when the boys said goodbye to Maui and headed for the hotel. When they reached this point, they found that in front of the place there was a crowd not happy at all.
“Let the outsiders go!”
“Death to the Americans!”
“Down with capitalism and materialism!”
“Get out of here, Deetzs!”
Percy headed to the back of the hotel and carrying Lydia with both arms, he leapt over the metal fence, landing softly on the floor. The kids then headed inside the building and discovered that the Deetz went to the local radio station and publicly announced their plans to build the resort.
At first the kids didn't see any problems with the resort, but when they met Maui, he explained the reason for not promoting the island with the carved heads. It turns out that if the island made the world known through the use of stone heads, the whole place would be invaded by hordes of tourists who would surely destroy the ecosystem of the place.
“What will we do, Lydia?”
“I don't know, but we can't allow Dad and Delia to build their tourist center here, this island is the only one in Hawaii that was saved from destruction by the importation of alien species, if the idea of building the complex was realized, the disaster would be comparable to what happened in Australia, a complete calamity.”
“And who are all those guys?”
“Most of them are islanders, but the young people call themselves "beatnicks", that's rare, the beats were people who were against materialism and they were called beatnicks in a derogatory way to indicate lazy people who used violent methods, those people and their philosophy were absorbed by other philosophical currents like the hippies in the sixties, it's rare that they have lasted on this island up to the present time.”
“It seems to me that they are just a group of simple surfers.”
.
.
In No WORLD, a group of ancient Hawaiian ghosts, spoke with a ghost, she had the form of a woman with a burned body.
“No, I will not deliver Beetlejuice to you, his body is still regenerating, and even if it were completely regenerated I would not deliver to you, now go away," the ghost threatened them.”
.
.
After breakfast, the boys went to talk to the beatnicks after Lydia and Percy's attempts to convince the Deetz were unsuccessful. The beatnicks leader, a handsome tanned surfer named Kimo, turned out to be a first-rate asshole and told Lydia that if her parents built the resort, he would call the population to burn the place down.
.
.
The days passed very quickly for the two kids between the construction of the complex, the protests led by Kimo and training of Maui.
After one of the shaman's training sessions, the boys noticed a great hustle and bustle as they approached the construction site of the resort and rushed in.
“Delia, what's going on?” Lydia asked her stepmother.
Those stupid surfers tried to kidnap your father, but then they and their leader some guy called Kimo were arrested.
“Is Dad all right?” wanted to know Lydia, who was frightened by her stepmother's information.
“Yes, he's fine.”
Percy hugged Lydia to comfort her and took her away from the building that was apparently caught in the fire.
.
.
“FREE, FREE FROM THAT STINKING WOMAN!” Beetlejuice shouted.
“Don't forget your promise Beetlejuice," said one of the Hawaiian ghosts, "you must expel those humans from our island.”
“Of course I will, but not for you, I have unfinished business with a certain annoying girl and her cat," said the ghost, and then swallowed up the Hawaiian ghosts.
The muted screams of these came from the ghost’s trachea and moved toward his stomach.
