"You all voted and it's been decided, Corey will be returning to his ghost catching adventure." I say as Daxter climbs onto my shoulder.
"And just so we clear this up, these stories are all connected to each other. Corey's Mansion, Corey Unleashed, All 4 One, and Five Night's at Grojband are all part of Corey's adventures and will be mentioned throughout some stories." Daxter explains.
"Who are you and what have you done with Daxter?" I ask, surprised.
"Don't ask, I don't know where that came from." Daxter said shrugging.
"Okay then, enjoy the show folks and don't hesitate to ask for certain crossovers with Grojband." I add before pressing play and starting the show.

Theme: [REMIX] Professor E. Gadd's Lab by Jigglystep
Evershade Valley
A frightful night for any soul, but not for good old E. Gadd who was worked away at his paranormal research. A dark crescent purple shining high above all of Evershade Valley, casting it's eerie dark glow over the land. E. Gadd pushed his glasses up to keep them from falling as a green ghost hovered behind him, turning around E. Gadd chuckled and waved at the ghost. The ghost gave him a thumbs up before returning to it's job, other green ghosts also hovered around the lab. However, outside a evil force planned it's revenge.
A floating figure with a bright dark purple and pink crown approached the Dark Moon with malicious intent, with an evil laugh the figure fired a large bolt of electricity at the moon. The moon shook violently before shattering into pieces, the pieces scattering all around Evershade Valley. A dark purple fog appeared and covered Evershade Valley hiding all it's locations as the figure giggled again and quickly flew off.
*Haunting Transition*
Meanwhile back in Peaceville a certain blue haired guitar player was in the living room of his new house taking a nap in his red lounge chair. His old map from his last mansion adventure hanging on the wall above his fireplace. A dinner table sat next to his chair with a plate with a single cookie and a glass half full of warm milk. The television was on a channel showing a horror movie marathon, however the screen suddenly changed into static as a lightning bolt struck the antenna on top of the house.
"Wha, what?" Corey muttered.
He sat up, his eyes fluttered open before he scratched the back of his head. He noticed the television and sighed, this had happened a few times before. Corey slowly walked over to the television and kneeled to see what was wrong this time. However just as he reached for the power button the screen changed.
"Corey!" E. Gadd cried from the television screen.
Corey screamed loudly and fell back scooting away quickly into his chair causing the plate and cup to fall on his head. His heart going wild, the mansion incident had made some habits stuck with him. He was more easily scared now and tended to scream a lot. His beanie had fallen over his eyes from the scare, quickly Corey sat up and pushed his beanie up so he could see E. Gadd.
"P-Professor?" Corey questioned.
"I need your help, sonny! It's an emergency!" E. Gadd cried. "The ghosts have gone hostile! Ah... What are you doing on the floor?"
"Sorry, P-Professor, you sort of s-scared me." Corey said standing up and brushing his shorts and shirt off, fixing his beanie shortly after.
"Never mind that. I'm preparing the Pixelator! Hold still, young feller." E. Gadd said before he started typing wildly.
Corey shook his head as he backed up, he did not want to do this job again. The only reason he'd done it last time was because his friends were in trouble, as he turned around and began to run a beam fired from the television screen. The beam struck Corey and broke him down into pixels before the television sucked him inside and to E. Gadd's new laboratory. Spook walked through the doggy door from the front of the house and whimpered as he noticed Corey missing, he sniffed the ground and caught Corey's scent. With a bark Spook ran out the door to find his master once again.
*Pixel Transition*
Corey suddenly reappeared in E. Gadd's lab before falling down landing on his butt. Corey looked around in amazement at all the new and improved machinery, he had to admit that E. Gadd had to have been busy making all this stuff. He sighed realizing he was back in the lab and back with the ghosts he feared so much. He finally climbed to his feet and turned toward E. Gadd who sat smiling in his chair. A mechanical limb of some sort holding the chair in the air.
"Greetings Corey. I knew our paths would cross again. You seem a bit tense, son. Relax. We're perfectly safe here in this impenetrable bunker." E. gad explained putting some of Corey's fear to rest.
"You sure haven't changed since we last met." Corey said chuckling and scratching the back of his neck.
"Anyhoo, it's been too long, my boy! What have you been up to?" E. Gadd asked knowing he hadn't seen Corey in quite a long time. "I imagine you've been off playing music with your friends am I right?"
"Actually Professor, I sort of had a job at a certain restaurant that I vowed to never go back to again." Corey stated remembering that specific nightmare. "What have you been up to?"
"Me? Oh, I've just been continuing my research on paranormal happenings and whatnot. In fact, after our last adventure I became somewhat of an authority in the field." E. Gadd explained
"That's really impressive Professor. What about the ghosts though?" Corey asked remembering why E. Gadd called him here in the first place.
"Let me fill you in on our ghostly predicament. See that on the screen? That there is the Dark Moon." E. Gadd said pulling down the screen for Corey to see the picture of the Dark Moon.
"What is the Dark Moon?" Corey asked now curious about the situation.
"It's a mysterious celestial body that has a pacifying effect on all the ghosts in Evershade Valley. When I heard about it, I jumped at the rare chance to study ghosts in a peaceful environment. It was incredible, my boy! I was doing some of the best research of my long and storied career!" E. Gadd explained spinning around once in his chair as he said the last comment.
"That's great professor, so what's the problem then?" Corey asked, it sounded like everything was going great.
"Something snapped inside all the ghosts and they suddenly got all hostile. It got so bad, I had to escape from the Gloomy Manor and hide here, where the ghosts can't find me. But of course, I'm not one to sit around and twiddle my thumbs. I wanted to know why the ghosts freaked out." E. Gadd explained.
"What caused it?" Corey asked.
"The Dark Moon is gone! And on top of that, the whole of Evershade Valley had become enveloped in an eerie fog. Now, I can't be sure, but I think the disappearance of the Dark Moon is what caused all this mess and what a mess it is." E. Gadd said, the situation was so much worse then Corey had expected.
"Sounds serious." Corey murmured.
"If we don't do something about it, the ghosts might leave this valley and terrorize the world beyond. Worse still, my research will go to waste! We can't let that happen my boy. Now, I've got good news and I've got bad news." E. Gadd says causing Corey to sigh, there was more bad news.
"Let's hear the good news first." Corey requested wanting to hear something good for a change.
"The good news is that I found a fragment of the Dark Moon nearby." E. Gadd said pulling out a dark purple shard that sparked with electricity slightly.
"And the bad news?" Corey dared to question.
"The bad news is that I found a fragment of the Dark Moon nearby, meaning the things broken. And this Dark Moon piece seems to be corrupted by some sort of energy... I reckon it's a disruptive energy that suppresses the Dark Moon's ability to pacify ghosts! But lucky for us, I've got inventions for all kinds of situations! Stand back, sonny!" E. Gadd says before a machine emerged from the ground.
E. Gadd placed the Dark Moon shard on the machine, suddenly the disc the shard was on began spinning as four brushes emerged from the machine. Quickly the brushes began cleaning the shard leaving a cloud of white dust all around it. Corey watched in amazement as the cloud of dust cleared revealing a shiny dark moon shard that emitted a sense of peace in the room with it's energy.
"Cool." Corey commented just as E. Gadd turned toward the computer screens adn began typing wildly.
"Heh heh! I've done it Corey! It seems to have regained it's original power! And did you hear that whooshing noise outside, youngster? Let me check my instruments. Criminy!" E. Gadd cried out in surprise.
"What is it Professor?" Corey asked.
"All the fog around this bunker... is gone! Quick! Let's take a look at a map of Evershade Valley. Corey, do you know what this means?" E. Gadd asks only for Corey to shake his head no. "You should be able to reach the Gloomy Manor now. But more importantly it means that restoring the Dark Moon will solve all our problems!"
"So if I find all the Dark Moon pieces, the ghosts will go back to normal?" Corey questioned hoping that he got it right.
"Precisely! But until then those ghosts will need to be contained, that's where you come in my boy. Why, your the best ghost wrangler I know, son. Coincidentally,your also the only ghost wrangler I know..." E. Gadd said awkwardly.
"No worries, Professor. I can handle it... I hope. It'll be just like last time." Corey stated not mentioning that his friends hadn't been kidnapped this time. "Professor, do you think you could find Spook, he was outside when you brought me here?"
"Why of course sonny, leave it to me. Now hurry along, those ghosts won't wrangle themselves." pointed out as he began typing on his computer again.
Whether he liked it or not, he wouldn't leave E. Gadd when he needed help. So with a heavy heart full of fear and maybe a little bit of courage, Corey agreed to yet another adventure. Unaware of the forces behind the Dark Moon being shattered.
