"Hey everyone back with yet another chapter of Corey Mansion, as said earlier this is a tribute to Luigi and Grojband." I say as Daxter climbs up onto my shoulder.

"Not to mention the upcoming cover, being made right now by Deviantart artist Sashagami12, so be sure to check her work out and show her some love." Daxter says surprisingly not making any sort of insult or joke.

"Wow, really, no insults, jokes, nothing?" I ask.

"What I can be normal... sometimes."

"Huh... well enjoy the show folks."

Corey entered the mansion, stepping back into the Foyer. It was pitch black, nothing but his flashlight and lit candles to light the room. On shaky legs he ventured deeper into the Foyer approaching the door in front of him. It was covered in some kind of thorn infested vines, he stepped away only to hear creaking from above. The chandelier suddenly fell, screaming Corey dove out of the way as the chandelier stopped just above the ground. Heart going wild, Corey can only watch as the chandelier returns to the ceiling, the ghosts laughing at their dangerous little joke.

"What h-have I g-gotten myself i-into?" Corey mutters as he stands up and heads for the stairs. He remembered the doorway leading to the Parlor, the room he had met Professor E. Gadd.

He decided it'd probably be the best place to start. At a cautiously slow pace Corey opened the door and entered the Parlor, dark as ever. Only light source were two set's of candles on the opposite side of the room. Corey took one step into the room before the door behind him slammed shut causing him to turn around quickly, without warning the candles were out leaving Corey in the dark.

Suddenly an Gold Ghost appears and dove for Corey, who in a panic shined his flashlight at the ghost stunning it leaving it's heart vulnerable. With ease Corey took out the Poltergust 3000 and sucked the ghost up. The impact of the Gold Ghost going into the Poltergust 3000 sent Corey back on his rear leaving him vulnerable. Without warning two more Gold Ghosts appeared, slowly inching their way toward Corey. Fumbling with his flashlight Corey barely flashed the Gold Ghosts in time to suck them into the Poltergust 3000. Getting back to his feet and wiping the sweat from his forehead, the lights in the room suddenly came back on, a chest magically appearing in the center.

"Guess this means the room is clear... thank goodness." Corey says as he opens the chest, opening it he pulls out a key. Suddenly the Gameboy Horror beigns ringing signaling Corey of E. Gadd calling him, taking it out Corey answers the call.

"Ah Corey just checkin up on you. Oh you might want to look around, that mansion is full of money. Just suck it up with the Poltergust 3000 and I'll hold it for you." E. Gadd explains, Corey nods showing he understands and ends the call.

Looking around Corey cleans the room of all it's hidden coins and dollar bills, even finding a solid bar of gold. How lucky could you get? So with the room clean and lit, Corey decided to move on. Luckily for him the Gameboy Horror shows him which door the key goes to. Putting the key into the door he enters another pitch black room.

The Anteroom

"Ahh!" Corey gasps as the door behind him is suddenly covered in thorny steel covered vines. A Gold Ghost appearing behind him, using his flashlight he stuns the Gold Ghost and sucks it up with the Poltergust 3000.

Just as Corey caught the Gold Ghost a Pink Puncher appeared. Corey was shocked when a fist collided with his face knocking him to the ground with a thud.

90

He watched as the Pink Puncher vanished and reappeared across the room winding up another punch. Just as the Pink Puncher threw the punch Corey stunned it with his flashlight and quickly captured the Pink Puncher before it could make impact. Corey smirked as the lights came back on easing his fear by the smallest bit. The Anteroom was now clear. Quickly looting the room of any cash Corey made his way to the next room.

Wardrobe Room

Opening the door leading to the Wardrobe Room, he looked around with his flashlight. Surprisingly no ghosts, however he knew they were here somewhere. First off he decided to open the wardrobe on the far right. When it opened a Speedy Spirit, a blue ghosts flew around the room wildly. Corey quickly used his the flashlight to stun the Speedy Spirit and suck it up with the Poltergust 3000, as he did cash burst from the ghost and was sucked into the Poltergust 3000. Corey looked down the nozzle of the Poltergust 3000 and smirked.

"Cool." He murmured as he opened the middle wardrobe. A Garbage Can Ghost appeared and froze seeing as it had been found. Corey quickly stunned the ghosts and began sucking it up, however it began to drag him around the room. The Garbage Can ghosts threw a banana peel down causing Corey to slip and fall on his back. The Garbage Can ghosts laughed before vanishing, Corey rubbed the back of his head as he got back to his feet.

85

Corey waited as two Garbage Can ghosts appeared, one was weaker than the other. The one that had escaped. With ease he stunned the two ghosts and began sucking them up. This time however Corey planted his feet firmly on the ground and pulled the two ghosts into the Poltergust 3000. This caused the lights in the room to come on, Corey quickly looted the room but couldn't find the key. Looking around the room he finally caught sight of the key on top of the clothes rack. With ease Corey used the Poltergust 3000 to bring the key to him, Corey grabbed the key and pocketed it before going out the door, heading back through the previous rooms Corey had cleared of ghosts. Just as he stepped out back into the Foyer the Gameboy Horror began to ring. Corey quickly answered the call.

"Hold up a sec, Corey. It seems that one of your friends might be nearby." E. Gadd says showing Corey an odd signal from the hallway ahead.

"I detect spirits stronger than you've yet to encounter. It must be some of those escaped gallery ghosts. Their different from other ghosts, they don't show their hearts easily." E. Gadd explained making Corey's entire body shake lightly with fear.

"So h-how do I c-catch them?"

"Simple, use the Gameboy Horror to scan their hearts for a weakness. Well, Corey, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Good luck." E. Gadd says and ends the call.

Corey tucks the Gameboy Horror away and nods trying to be confident. With a shaky hand Corey inserts the key to the next door and opens it. Entering the dark hallway Corey see's the trail of coins leading to a door nearby. Corey follows the coins sucking them into the Poltergust 3000. The trail led to a closed door, grabbing the doorknob Corey opens the door, only for the door to slam him into the wall. Groaning with pain and the ghosts giggling at their prank, Corey moves to the only other door unlocked.

The Study

Corey slowly enters the Study shining his flashlight around, nothing in sight. Pulling out the Gameboy Horror he finds a ghost in a rocking chair reading a book, yawning ever so often. The ghost's name is Neville, a tall, lean, with orange hair, and an orange moustache and dons a purple robe. Corey quickly scans Neville's heart and clue appears on screen.

"Ho ho ho ho... Go ahead, try to find me. I can see you, but you cannot see me, ho ho ho ho..."

Corey looks up from the screen to see Neville is invisible, he turns away and hears Neville yawn loudly. Turning back around Neville vanishes again leaving Corey confused. Suddenly an idea forms, Corey turns away again and waits. Just as Neville yawns again Corey turns around stunning him with his flashlight.

Corey pulls as hard as he can as he begins to suck up Neville into the Poltergust 3000, pulling him around the room Corey continues to pull refusing to release the portrait ghost. Corey grabs onto a nearby lamp and pulls sucking Neville into the Poltergust 3000 capturing him, the lights come on easing Corey's earlier fear.

"That w-was actually e-easy." Corey says not stuttering near as much as he had earlier. He walks over to the chest and opens it grabbing the key inside. Corey quickly loots the room of all it's money and heads for the exit.

Exiting the room Corey heads to the door at the far end of the hallway where the Master Bedroom is. Putting the key into the lock Corey cautiously opens the door and enters, the Gameboy Horror already in his left hand.

Master Bedroom

He quickly finds a female ghost sitting at her dresser brushing her hair and admiring herself in the mirror. The ghost is Lydia, husband to Neville. She has bright yellow eyes, short blonde hair that frills up at the end, and wearing a pink bath robe with a white lining at the sleeves and the bottom.

Corey slowly approaches, his legs shaking uncontrollably as he inches closer to scan her heart. The clue appears on his screen and he reads it quickly.

"Isn't my hair just gorgeous? Of course, I do spend a lot of time on it. I was so bored cooped up in that painting... Now I spend all my time in front of the mirror. It seems to scare people, though, so everything is coming up roses!"

Corey begins to think and notices a crack in the window near Lydia. She seems obsessed with her hair, that must be her weakness. Corey moves over to the curtains and uses the Poltergust 3000 to reveal the crack in the window. Wind begins blowing a strong breeze through the window messing with Lydia's hair.

"Ohh what a draft..."

Corey quickly uses the flashlight too stun Lydia's vulnerable heart and he quickly begins to suck her up into the Poltergust 3000. Lydia seems stronger pulling Corey around with ease. He plants his feet firmly on the ground and pulls as hard as he can stepping backwards, with a final scream the Poltergust 3000 captures Lydia. Corey sighs with relief as the lights come back on and a chest appears in the center of the room. Opening the chest Corey grabs the key inside and quickly proceeds to loot the room of all it's hidden cash.

Corey exits the room and reenters the hallway. Using the Gameboy Horror Corey finds the next door and slowly approaches, he inserts the key and turns it. As the key vanishes like the others he hears a baby's high pitched cry. This escalates his fear causing him to scream and jump back expecting something to jump out after him. Shaking with fear he presses his ear to the door and hears a single word.

"Help!"

Corey recognizes the voice owner as a Newman, Lenny to be more accurate. Summoning the little courage he had Corey grabs the doorknob and turns it painfully slow. Opening the door, Corey enters the Nursery.

"Oops to bad a cliff hanger, yes folks sorry bout that. But I need three reviews before continuing." I say as Daxter climbs onto my shoulder.

"And if you enjoyed this chapter slap that review and leave us a comment." Daxter loads the Morph Gun. "Or else."

"Dax, put the gun away." I command and Daxter reluctantly agrees. "Till next time, I'm Chris and he's Daxter telling you."

"To stay awesome!"
