Almost to the Spiral Door
"As Rachel told me," Daniel continued from the tent where his parents' graves are, "that Malistaire was trying to either get all the Dragonflames or all the creatures in Spiral. As I thought about it after the battles in Firecat Alley, Cyclops Lane and Collossus Blvd, I saw a male human dressed in raven clothes, which were dark blue with a dark purple trim. He was the coolest person, yet very protective. "
"Hey! What's your name?" asked the wizard.
"Uhh, hi. It's Daniel Dragonflame. And you?" responded Daniel.
"I'm Anthony Stormbreaker! I'm a s...err, wizard just like you," said Anthony with a staggered voice.
"So, what are you doing in this area on this strange day, Anthony?" asked Daniel.
"I'm trying to protect these people from the Harvest Lord," Anthony said, "That's what I do here in Spiral."
"At first, he sounded cool, but there was something about him I couldn't figure out. I just forgot about that when I was going to Merle Ambrose again."
"Ah, young wizard, I see you didn't have trouble with Foulgaze." Merle said.
"Nope, he wasn't trouble at all thank goodness with my spells and a couple of friends," Daniel with a victory face on.
"Well, Daniel, I would love to stay and chat with you but I need to go to my school again," said Anthony.
"Oh, ok, I was going to go to Nightside to figure out what's going on there," said Daniel.
"As I flew to the Sunken City in Nightside, someone else was there. She had a gold and red trimmed Dragon Armor on with a fiery sword in her hand and mounted on a red dragon."
"Well, that style you have on fits you well, stranger! " said the young female wizard.
"Uh, thanks?" as Daniel was confused about it.
"Hi, my name is Scarlet Firetamer, I'm Spiral's fashion designer." Scarlet winked at Daniel.
"Err, I don't know about you, Scarlet, but are you going in this area in Nightside?" Daniel asked.
"Well, I heard that there is..." Scarlet said.
"...a zombie in there that is causing the trouble." interrupted from a familiar voice.
"I looked back and saw John Deathcaller behind me. I looked at him with anger. "
"Why are you here?" demanded Daniel.
"Calm down, Daniel," John said as he stops Daniel from talking more, "I'm only here to put a zombie to rest."
"I calmed down as I put my wand away."
"I'm sorry what I said before, Daniel," apologized John, "but this is a matter of defeating this zombie."
"Now I realize that he's not such a bad guy after all. He was trying to 'put spirits to rest' but I just went along with it."
"So, who's this zombie?" asked Daniel.
"This is where you call him 'The Big Man' all in Nightside, where Malistaire summoned him there," informed John, "His name is Grubb."
"Sounds like one bad-dressed zombie. I have seen them before. Not pretty." Scarlet said.
"Then let's pay a visit to him, don't you think?" Daniel said with an adventurous smile.
"I would be welcomed to join you to end the work of Nightshade and foiling one of Malistaire's plans," agreed John.
"Now you're talking, Daniel!" excited Scarlet.
"As John, Scarlet and I went into Sunken City, we met someone in there. He had Mage's clothes that are white and dark blue trim. I thought as him as some kind of inventor, crazy about inventing other stuff other than his wizard school. But I never knew him really well."
"If I can get one piece of skin of Grubb, maybe I can invent something that can change you into a zombie. But I, Nicholas Mythcrafter, should prevail to get one!" he said.
"Hi, stranger!" greeted Scarlet.
"Oh! Salutations," greeted Nicholas, "what brings you here in this fine day?"
"We are after Grubb," explained John, "We had to make sure he is out of his misery!"
"Sounds great!" said Nicholas, "That way I can get a sample of his skin."
"Sample of his skin? Eww!" disgust Scarlet.
"Well, I am an inventor." confirmed Nicholas.
"Well, I think we should head to Grubb." said Daniel.
"As we head over to Grubb, he was upmost angry at us"
"How DARE you come to my humble abound! You shall pay for your insolence!" said Grubb.
"No, Grubb, you need to be destroyed from this world!" said Daniel.
"We shall see, you incompetent wizard!" shouted Grubb, as he summoned minions.
"When we went into battle, Nicholas used a potion on Grubb."
"What, WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?" Grubb shouted.
"Hahaha! I simply lowered your attack strength with a potion I whipped up. It's called 'Attack Weakness,'" laughed Nicholas, "And here's another potion to lower your defenses!"
"He splashed him with the potion that lowers his defenses."
"No! NO!" angered Grubb, "Minions, attack!"
"I don't think so, Grubb! Sand Storm, attack the minions!" shouted Daniel as he casts Sand Storm.
"Same goes for me, Grubb! Meteor Strike, use this prism to get rid of the minions!" shouted Scarlet as she casts a prism on Meteor Strike.
"You all should be put to rest! Vampire, use this prism on Grubb and drain his life to give me the strength!" shouted John as he casts Vampire.
"Humongofrog, spew your toxic vomit on them!" shouted Nicholas as he casts Humongofrog.
"As soon as we cast our spells, defeating Grubb's minions and weakening Grubb as well, Grubb was full of anger but regretfully shameful."
"Finish me off, wizard!" turning away while Grubb said that.
"It would be my pleasure to put you to rest, Grubb," said John as he cast a wraith from a special card. The wraith took his soul to finish him off and gave John Grubb's soul in a special container.
"Nicholas stole a sample before John put him to rest so he can experiment on Grubb's skin for, err, something I guess. Anyways, we went back to Marla Stinger.
"Yay! You have gotten the proof!" cheered Marla.
"Well, it wasn't easy!" confirmed Daniel.
"Now that we have the proof, you can show it to Cyrus Drake!" said Marla.
"As we went to Cyrus Drake..."
"So, you brought the proof from the Sunken City. I guess Marla Stinger gets an A...minus." Cyrus Drake grumbles at the item.
"Well, I guess I'll tell Marla that she gets a good grade after all," said Nicholas, "I think Merle has something in mind with you guys. He just gave me a message."
"Well, I have to see some other fashion from the other worlds," said Scarlet, "See you guys later!"
"Well, Daniel, I hope we did settle our differences ." said John.
"We did, John," said Daniel with a smile, "and I'm glad I am friends with you."
"Let's have a friendly battle, when I see you again." said John with a smirk.
"It's a match, John!" confirmed Daniel.
"As John flew away, Gamma flew down to me."
"Whooo! Daniel, Merle needs you!" Gamma said.
"I'll be there, Gamma. Thanks!" said Daniel.
"Immediately, I went to Merle Ambrose for some upcoming news."
"Ah, Daniel! You came in upmost disturbance!" Merle concerned.
"What seems to be the trouble, headmaster?" concerned Daniel as much as Merle.
"Another world is in peril with Malistaire's dirty plans." Merle said, "I need you to go to Bartleby. He will help you on your next journey with this key."
"Thanks, headmaster!" said Daniel as he bows and takes the key.
"I went Ravenwood to see Bartleby for my next journey in Spiral."
"Hello, young wizard," said the big tree named Bartleby.
"Hello, Bartleby," said Daniel as he bows , "it's a great honor to see you again."
"I am too, young wizard. Enter the Spiral Chamber and use that key to the next world," said Bartleby, "This young wizard will also help you on your journey."
"As I looked behind me, it was Rachel."
"Rachel!" said Daniel with an amazing face.
"Well, if it isn't the smashing wizard from Triton Avenue. I will be helping you on this next part, lad." said Rachel with a cute face.
"Thanks, Rachel!" said Daniel.
"You will be going into a world where there is a lot of troubles. Defend the people that need your help." said Bartleby.
"I will, Bartleby. Thanks." said Daniel as he bows again.
"As we go into the Spiral Chamber of Wizard City, I was anxious to go into another world of Spiral. I wonder what lies ahead into that Spiral Door. Well, that's another chapter to be told."
Daniel: I always wondered how we manage to get all the way into the Sunken City to Grubb.
Brianna: Yeah, I know! How did you guys manage to get to Grubb?
John: I don't think the author wants to spoil any details about the game so much.
Scarlet: Oh, John, must you say that?
Anthony: I agree with John. I think the author doesn't want to spoil it.
Rachel: Anthony, Daniel IS the author.
Nicholas: Ha ha! I think he means the person who is ACTUALLY writing this story.
Rest: Agreeing with Nicholas
