It has been about a month since Ghost Zone Online became the death game of the ages. Since then Danny, Sam and Tucker had gotten a lot stronger since the beginning of the game along with better armor and weaponry that suited them. In the beta, Tucker found out that he was better suited for long range attack then close combat. Sam found out that she was better at close combat, but still had some skill in long range attack. Last but not least, Danny found out that he was suited for both close combat and long range attacks, so he did his best to find a weapon that was also suited in both types of combat. So far he couldn't find one, so he used the Ghost Core he gained at the beginning of the game to create one. He still remember to this day, his friend's reaction when they found out he had one.
Flashback
It had been a week or so since the death game started, and the trio were sitting in the field resting up before they took down some more ghosts. Danny was busy looking though his inventory and saw from his hunt that he had gathered tons of ectoplasm, Ectopus' tentacles and along with some other crafting material. Soon he came upon the Ghost Core he gotten on his first day here, "Mmmmm, I forgot all about this, and by the looks of it, I haven't gotten anymore since then," he thought, then he turned to Tucker and asked, "Hey Tuck, is there anything I can make with just one Level 1 Ecto Core?"
Tucker looked up from his inventory as he answered, "Yeah, I believe we can with all the stuff we gathered so far. But why are you asking? It's not like we have one, you know how hard they are to obtain."
"Tucker's right, nether one of us had gotten so one so far," Sam commented as she was tried to figure out what Danny was getting at.
Danny gained a goofy grin as he pressed one of his items in his inventory and held out his hand, and in his hand appeared a slightly glowing ecto green orb. Sam and Tucker stared at it in awe and shock with their jaw dropped. Danny's smile grew wider at his friend's reaction, "So will this do?"
"Where did you get that?" Sam asked still in shock.
"Did you buy that thing behind our backs?" Tucker asked him, "Because if you did, not cool man, not cool."
"Do you remember when I took down that Ectopus on our first day back?" Danny asked them still with the smirk on his face.
"Yeah, what about i-" Sam was about to ask, but then her eyes went wide, "Wait you don't mean.."
"Yup," Danny answered,
"Why didn't you tell us?!" Tucker shouted in disbelief.
"Because I didn't want to there to be an argument between who gets it when Dash and the others were around," Danny answered, "Knowing them, they would do their best to get it saying they were the ones who fought it first so they deserve the drop."
"I guess that understandable," Sam commented as she thought it over.
"So what are you going to do with it?" Tucker asked him as he come closer to look to look at it.
"I was thinking that we can use it to make one of us a new weapon," Danny answered as he rolled the core around his hand before he passed it to Tucker for he could have a closer look at it.
Tucker happily took it with a grin, but as soon as it was in his hands he started to quickly pass it quickly between his two hands from how cold it felt. Before he could drop it and break it, he quickly pass it back to Danny, "Man, how can you stand holding something that cold! I can barely hold onto it without my hands feeling like they are going to turn to ice!"
"I'm not sure, it just doesn't feel that cold to me," Danny confessed a bit confused himself, "Maybe if my character was a ghost, it would have an ice core. Well if there was that type of core that is."
"Are you still upset about that?" Sam asked him.
"Yeah, but I guess it's a good thing I'm not stuck in a body I'm not use to," Danny told them.
"Glad you see it that way," Sam told him with her own smirk, "Now, for that Ghost Core, I think we should use it to make you a weapon. It only makes since since you were the one that obtain it."
"Are you sure about that?" Danny asked them.
"Of course! How about after we take down a few more of these ghosts, we head back to town and see what all we can make with it," Tucker told them.
When everyone was in agreement and rested up, they got up and headed out to take on some more ghosts.
Flashback End
Right now the trio were walking back to town after a successful ghost hunt. Sam was now up to level twenty-one, Tucker was now level twenty, and Danny was now level twenty-two, they were also wearing their starter gear so they could save their stronger gear for later on. They were about to walk pass the center area to sell some of their loot they gathered from their hunt, but the communion going on caught their attention. Letting his curiosity get the best of him, he went up to a random player and asked, "What's going on?"
"Oh, there's going to be a meeting for all high level player this evening in the central area to decease the battle plans for this zone's boss," the player explained.
"So they found this zone's boss already?" Danny asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, there's a rumor going around saying that they found it this morning," the player supplied with a smile.
"Great, me and my friends will try to show up then," Danny told him.
"Great, I'll see you there then," the player said, then took off to spread the news.
"What was all that about?" Tucker asked as Danny came back over to him and Sam.
"There's going to be a meeting this evening for all high level players to take down this zone's boss," Danny informed them.
"So they found it?" Sam asked in disbelief.
"Sounds like it," Danny answered with a shrug.
"So are we going to it then?" Tucker asked.
"I see no problem in going," Sam replied.
"Besides, they will be needing as much help as they can get," Danny added in, "We all are trying to escape this game after all."
Sam and Tucker both nodded in agreement, then they continued on their way as they waited for the evening to come.
(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)
When evening came, the trio found themselves at the central square, which was stairs leading down to a fountain that they met up at on the first day. The trio took their seat near the back close to the exit, in case they needed a fast escape as they waited for the others to arrive. As they waited, they saw many different players show up, but they were mostly surprised when they saw that the A-Listers were there as well. When Danny saw them, he hoped with all hope that they didn't see them, but to his luck, they did, "Hey losers!" Dash called out as he came over to them, "I thought you guys would be off hiding somewhere waiting for all of this to be over."
Danny just sighed, "Look Quarterback, we are here because we want to help everyone to escape this death game as well."
"What can wimps like you do?" Dash asked with a smug look and laugh, "You guys could barely do anything back home."
Danny's eyes started to twitch in annoyances, "Do you really think that Quarterback?" Danny asked as he stared into Dash's eyes, "Why do you think I always let you bully me?"
"Because you're weak?" Dash answered knowingly with a smug smile.
"I do it because that way the other kids won't have to worry about you bullying them," Danny replied as he stood up to look Dash in the eys, "In the real world, I'm always the one that people looked down on, the one that no one takes seriously even though I may have a good idea. But this world is different. In this world, we can be ourselves and will be treated depending on what we do in the game and not who we are on the outside world. Even through we are trapped in this world, I'm going to make the best of it and try my hardest to help everyone escape instead of sitting on the sidelines doing nothing and letting others do all the work!"
To say that the A-Listers where surprised about Danny standing up to them was an understatement, they were downright shocked! No one had stood up to them before, not even the teachers, so having someone standing up to them, especially Fenton, was a downright shocker. But before anyone could retort back, down below a man with messy blue hair, peach skin, brown eyes, wearing brown armor with black lining, boots and gloves spoke up, "Welcome everyone! I am Keth and my job is knight!"
This caused many people to laugh and someone called out, "There are no jobs in this game!" which just made more people laugh.
"Now lets get down to why we are all here," Keth called out, "This morning, my team came upond this zone's boss lair."
At hearing the news, everyone started to whisper to one another. "I hope that it isn't that pig like boss again," Sam said in whispered grunt, but in a more cherrful tone commented, "I may be against animal curity, but it was quite entertaining watching Tucker try and roast it."
"Hey! I was hungry when we were fighting it!" Tucker defended himself, "I wanted some bacon and ham! Anyone would of done the same thing if they were in my shoes!"
"Not really," Sam argued, "I would of had one of the apples I packed."
"Not me! Meat is a much better souce of energy!" Tucker argued.
"No, vegetables are! Meat will just slow you down!" Sam argued back.
Before they were able to say anything else, Danny stepped in to break it up, "Calm down both of you! We came here to hear about the boss' lair, not to argue!"
"He/She started it!" They both yelled out as they crossed their arms and faced away from each other.
Danny just sighed at the way his friends were acting and turned back to the conversation down below. Just when Keth was about to say something, a guy with green tint skin, wild red hair wearing red and orange armor with black fingerless gloves, deep blue eyes who looked buffed landed beside Keth, "The name id Heat, and I know who else we can blame for why we are having a hard time besides the Masters guy."
"And who may that be?" Keth asked having a feeling that things were about to take a turn for the worst.
"The Beta Testers! That's who!" Heat announced, "We all know that they claimed all the best hunting grounds and starter quests leaving nothing for us new guys! I also have a feeling that there are some here right now! So why don't we make them give up all their gear, items and money to all of us new guys!"
Dash smirked at the option and looked over at Danny, Sam and Tucker, "You heard what he said, hand over all your stuff to us."
Danny just sighed at how Dash was behaving thinking that it would that easy to get things from other players. When is he going to realize that this was nothing like high school? "Not happening Da-Quarterback. The three of us worked really hard to get the things we haven and we're not going to be willing to give up just because of a threat." Danny then noticed that Dash was about to say something, but cut him off, "We did claim one of the hunting grounds, but we are not just using it for ourselves, we are letting others hunt in it as well. And before you ask, no we did not go after any of the starter or easier quests, the three of us went after the more higher leveled and harder ones to let the newer players get usedto the game."
Dash was surprised once again about how Danny was standing up to him without showing any fear towards him. But then again, Dash had started to notice that Danny wasn't really acting like he did in the real world, it was as if this was his real self that he was hiding under his wimpy appearance. Dash then turned to look at Sam and Tucker and saw that they too looked a bit more at rest without needing to worry about peer pressure being forced on them to act a different way. Maybe it can be the same way with him as well here, but he wasn't sure how.
Down below, Heat seemed to have noticed the commotion going on near the back and called up, "Hey! What is going on up there!?"
Paulina smirked at the opportunity to make the trio's life even more miserable, "We found three Beta Testers and they are refusing to give up their things!" Paulina called back.
"Oh really?" Heat asked getting interested on what was going on, he then flew up to the group and asked, "So who are the three that you say are Beta Testers?"
"Those three are," Paulina answered with an evil grin as she pointed at the trio causing them to groan.
Seeing that if they didn't say something fast, they were sure to be found out, Danny quickly came up with a plan that could save them, "Do you have any proof that we are Beta Testers?"
"Well you guys did tell me," Paulina said smugly.
"Do you have any proof of that?" Sam asked her.
"Well...I...Well...No..." Paulina admitted as she tried to come up with a come back since she wasn't use to be putting on the spot.
"Well how about we asked them a question that only a Beta Tester would know," Heat suggested helping Paulina out. He then opened up his inventory and took out a level one ecto core and placed it in fount of Danny, "So tell me, what is this and where can I get one?"
Danny stared at the ghost core knowing what it was right off the bat and knew that he could answer it without getting in trouble or revealing who him and his friends were. Back when the game was in Beta, tons of the Beta Testers got together to create a guide book for the new players that would play later one. Each person who helped was given a certain topic to do reseach on. Luckily for him, he was given the Ghost Cores to do research on, but he had to make it look like he didn't know much about it though. "Isn't that a Ecto Ghost Core?" Danny asked sounding a bit unsure, "Can't you get them from one of the ghosts in this zone?"
Heat smirk grew larger at hearing this, but Sam and Tucker became even more worried, "And how do you know this?"
Before Danny could even answer, someone down below answered for him, "He could of just read the guide book."
Danny looked down below from where he heard the voice coming from and saw standing by Keth was a tall muscles dude with tan skin, short brown hair and dark green eyes. The guy was wearing a white chest plate with emerald green engravings, mid length black armor leggings with emerald green engravings, black combat boots and gloves. Heat looked down at the guy from where he was floating and raised an eyebrow, "Who are you? And can you back yourself up with what you said? Because from what I heard, people been saying that they are all wrong."
"The name Armstrong," the guy answered, "And the only information that is wrong in here," he then waved the small brown book around, "is the information on the bosses. So everything else, including information on items is true. And guess who made these things for all the players? The Beta Testers, that who! I believe that everyone got one of these at one point, so we all have the same information at our finger tips, Beta Testers or not."
Heat then growled at his defeat and turned to Danny with a scowl, "You win this round, but I'm keeping my eyes on you." then he floated back down to where he was sitting.
"Thank-you Armstrong," Keth thanked, "Is there anything else you would like to say?"
Armstrong shook his head, "No that is all I wanted to say," he then turned to take his seat, but quickly sent a small smile at Danny.
Danny blinked in surprised when he caught the smile, "Did he know who I was?" Danny asked himself.
"I guess you're off the hook this time losers," Paulina stated disappointed as she crossed her arms, "But it won't be the same next time."
"We will have to see about that," Sam commented with a smile savoring their victory or more less Danny's.
"Now that that excitement is over, lets get back to bussious," Keth stated, "For this to work, we all will be needing to get into groups around five," everyone expect the trio and the A-Listers moved to formed their own parties. Once everyone calmed down, Keth continued where he left off, "Even though we have no clue on who the boss is going to be, we still need to make a battle plan, then afterwards, everyone should get everything they need for tomorrow."
With everyone in agreement, they then started to talk about battle strategies. After listening to the strategies and debating weather they would be good to use on an unknown enemy or if they needed improvement, Danny stood up and headed down below to add his own thoughts in. For the next few hours, the group debated on what strategies they should use, and sometime during that time, Sam and Tucker decided to join in the debate as well.
(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)(×)
Hours later after the meeting, it was turning dusk and who ever agreed to take part of the boss battle were getting ready. Right now, Danny, Sam and Tucker were sitting in the park under a tree going over their supplies, "Chaos, Tuck, how many healing crystal do you each have?" Danny asked as he checked to see how much he had.
"I have thirty-five," Tucker answered as he looked in his inventory.
"I have twenty-nine," Sam answered, then she looked over at Danny, "How many do you have Phantom?"
"I have forty," Danny answered, "I'll give you a few Choas," he then sent six over to Chaos, "Now how is everyone with weapons?"
"I think we are fine with the ones we have at the moment," Tucker answered, "With the ones we have right now, they can take down the ghost in this zone with one to two hits, plus with ghost core infused in them, boost their power. But I think I need to pick up a few arrows just in case though."
"What about our armor?" Sam asked.
"I think we should change into our better armor tomorrow and hide them under cloaks until the battle," Danny suggested, "Now what about food?"
"I'm a bit low, so I will be needing to pick some more up later," Sam replied as she looked her food supply over and then closed her inventory.
"Same here," Tucker answered as he closed his inventory.
"Same here," Danny told them, "We should pick some more up later or before we leave tomorrow," then Danny closed his own inventory.
"So who or what do you think this zone's boss will be?" Sam said after a bit.
"Well, he must be something like the ghosts in this zone," Tucker suggested.
"We already know that Tuck," Sam dreadpanned.
"I think what Tuck is trying to get at is what kind of core will the boss have," Danny jumped in before a fight could start.
"That's what I was saying!" Tucker exclaimed as he threw his arms up into the air, "If we know what kind of core it has, we will have a much better chance of knowing what we are up against!"
"That's a good idea Tuck," Sam told him, "But I'm not sure if it will be very useful right now?"
"What do you mean?" Tucker asked confused.
"Because all the ghosts in this zone have the same ghost core," Sam explained, "An Ecto Core is said to be the most basic core in the game, so if all the ghost in this zone has the same core, there is a high chance that the boss has the same type of core."
"I guess I see your point," Tucker commented disappointingly.
Danny was about to say something, but was interrupted by a familiar voice, "Hey you three! How it going?"
The trio turned to see who called out to them and saw that it was Keth who was walking towards them," It's going fine so far," Danny informed him, "We just finished going over our supplies."
"So do you guys got everything you need?" Keth asked as he sat down by Danny.
"Pretty much," Tucker replied, "We just need to get some more food which we will do before we leave tomorrow and maybe some more arrows for me."
Keth nodded in agreement to the plan, then he turned to Danny, "I mainly dropped by to personally thank you for the help with the strategy planing Phantom, you know your stuff! I have to say that you may make a great leader one day."
Danny then rubbed the back of his next a bit embarrassed at the comment, "It was nothing, really. Anyone could of came up with that stuff."
"But you were the one that came up with most of the ideas, pointed out the ones that may not work and some that may or will not work at all! I bet you must be someone quite poplar in the real world. All three of you in fact," Keth told them with a big smile.
"Not really," Danny admitted, "We are pretty much the loser or freaks at our school that everyone pretty much looks down on."
"I'm sure that if people knew you guys better, they would see that you guys are amazing and cool people instead of losers and freaks," Keth told them with a smile, "Some people don't understand that it isn't just looks and backgrounds that is what makes a person, its the way a person acts, that what makes them who they are."
"Tell that to the Shallow Witch," Sam grumbled.
Keth just blinked at that comment, "I'm not even going to ask what that was about."
Before anyone could say something, the voice that the trio didn't want to hear called out, "Keth! There you are! We been looking all over for you!"
"Speak of the devil and she shall come,"Sam growled as she watched Paulina, Dash, Star, Kawn and Valery walk up to them.
The A-Listers stopped a few inches away from the group and Paulina glared at the trio, "We were wondering if you wanted to join our party, that way you won't need to worry about hanging out with losers like these guys."
The trio couldn't help but glare at Paulina, part of them couldn't believe she would still act the same in the game as she did in real life, but yet, part of them could. Keth quickly noticed the tension between the two groups and figured that the girl that just spoke was the 'Shallow Witch' that Chaos spoke of. So he then decide to get to the other reason why he wanted to see the trio, "Actually, one of the reasons why I came to see these guys was to ask if I could join their party."
"Why do you want to be a part of these freaks' party, when you could be a part of ours?" Paulina asked steamed at how HER request was turned down. No one turned her down before. NO ONE!
"Well for one, these guys seem like great people to hang out with," Keth started to explained, "Two, these guys came up with most of the ideas on how we can take down an unknown boss. And finally, they came up with tons of stuff that will hopefully let everyone survive tomorrow. Plus, they seem like a bunch of nice people and do pretty much anything to help others."
"Of course they would! They would do anything to help people like them out!" Paulina retorted as she crossed her arms.
Keth smiled when he saw an opening in the queen bee's reasoning, "So what does that make you guys? If they do anything to help you guys, then what about you? If they do their best to help or save you, does that make you one of them?"
Pualina's face turned beet red in anger at hearing that. She then threw her arms down and stormed off as she yelled out, "We're leaving!" and they others followed behind her not wanting to face her wrath.
The gang laughed at how Paulina took that, and then it struck Tucker as he asked, "Wait, do you really want to join us? Don't you already have a team?"
"Yeah I meant what I said. That is if you want me that is" Keth replied with a shrug, "Anyways, my team got stuff going on tomorrow that they can't put off. So that leaves me needing to join another party to do this."
"We don't mind at all," Sam told him, "We just a bit surprised that's all. Usually people want to be part of the 'popular' group," she then pointed her thumb the A-Listers left in.
"They may be the popular group in the real world, but here they are just like everyone else. Whether they like it or not," Keth told them, "Plus, you guys seem like a great group to work with."
"Well, we will be happy to have you on the team. Right guys?" Danny told him.
"Anyone that has the guts to stand up to them, I don't mind working with," Sam told him, "Besides, you seem like a great guy yourself."
"Yeah, and with you on our side, we are sure to make it through!" Tucker exclaimed in joy.
Danny then sent Keth a party invite, who happily accepted it. Once it showed that Keth was part of the party, he started to get up, "Well I better get going to make sure I have everything ready for tomorrow. See you guys later!"
"Yeah, see ya later," Danny replied back as he watched their new teammate leave. After a bit, he got up as well, "We should be get some rest with everything happening tomorrow."
Sam nodded in agreement as she got up, "Yeah, I can't wait to see PopQueen's face when she and the rest of her posy see us in action tomorrow."
"We may also be able to get a girl after this as well," Tucker commented happily as he added his own thoughts.
"Yeah, we will have to see about that Tuck," Danny replied shacking his head a bit, then they took off to the hotel.
(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)
The next morning before they left for the boss' lair, they made sure everyone remembered the plan and was ready to go before leaving. Once everyone was set to go, they were off. Every player, new and old, were nervous about what they were going to face since no one knew what was waiting for them. With their minds on different things and in their own thoughts, they arrived before they knew to the boss' lair door, a giant white box with a light blue portal inside it. When everyone was staring in awe at the lair's enterance, Keth stepped forwards to be in front of the group and waited until he had everyone's attention before speaking, "This portal is what is going to take us to this zone's boss. If what Masters was saying was true, then everyone is in the same boat, whether you were a Beta Tester or you a are a new player. So who ever you are, even if the people you working with are enemies in the real world, we all have to work together to watch each other backs so we can get through this!..."
As Keth went on with his speech, Paulina and the rest of the A-Listers, made their way over to Danny, Sam and Tucker. "Hey losers, whats up with those cloaks? Couldn't find any real armor like the rest of us?"
Danny who was wearing a black cloak turned to look at the newcomers. Paulina was now wearing hot pink armor with light blue engravings, her chest plate went all the way down to a bit above her belly button, a golden belt around her leggings that went down to her tighs, she had on golden high heels, and wist bands. On her back rested a Ghost Bow, it was a bow with both of the limbs and grip a neon green, the handle being a silver color and the string was white with a light blue glow coming off of it. Beside her stood Dash who was now wearing red and white armor that looked like it could belong to a knight, a silver belt and brown leather gloves. On his back was the Ghost Sword, a sword with a neon green helt with a silver grip and the blade was white with a light blue glow that was about an arms length. Behind him was Kwan, who's amor was much like Dash's but was white and red and on his back was the Ghost Hammer, it had a neon green handle, the head looked like that of a sledge hammer with the faces being white with a light blue glow. Beside him was Star, who was wearing an orange chest plate, red leggings that looked like shorts, orange-red combat boots and strapped to each of her hips were Ghost Daggers. On the other side of Kawn stood Valery, she was wearing a yellow chest plate, orange leggings, black combat boots, brown leather gloves, and a Ghost Crossbow strapped to her hip. The Ghost Crossbow was neon green with the flight grove being silver and the string being white with a loght blue glow.
Rolling his eyes, Danny replied with, "We have our armour under the cloaks."
"What? Are they so ugly that you have to hide them just to walk around in public?" Paulina taunted.
"No, we just have them hidden so you won't faint upon seeing them," Sam replied sarcastically with her arms crossed, she was wearing a purple cloak at the moment.
"Yeah right! Nothing can be better then ours," Dash told them not catching onto the sarcasm tone.
Sam just rolled her eyes at how clueless Dash was being, did he always take things so serious? Before she had a chance to comment on that, Tucker who was wearing a green cloak cutted in, "Guys, we are almost ready to go and you may want to listen in again. Keth is about to go over the plan quickly just for a fresh reminder."
"Thanks Tuck," Danny replied as he turned his attention back to Keth.
"...now group one and two, you guys will be in charge of directly attacking the boss. Group three and five, you guys are in charge of talking care of any minions. If they are no minions, group three will help group four and six with long rang attacks and group five will help the others with the direct attack. Is that clear?" When he got a nod from everyone, he then called out, "Then charge!" with that, everyone charged forwards into the portal leading to the boss.
The portal led the group of players to a light blue room with white boxes floating around, the floor was a ghostly green and see through. As Danny looked around the room trying to locate the boss, he heard Tucker say in awe, "Whoa, this place looks completely different. I wonder if the pig boss is still here though."
"If it is, I'm going to make sure that you don't try and barbeque it again," Sam told him sternly.
"What?! Why not?" Tucker asked disappointed.
"Yeah, why not Sa-Chaos?" Danny asked her, "It was quit funny the last time he did it. I bet the new players would enjoy seeing him try."
"Because this is no longer the game we knew," Sam told them sternly, "The last time, he almost died because of it, and now if tries it again, he won't be able to respawn. He will be gone for good."
"I guess I can see your point," Danny told her as he thought about it. He never want to lose one of his best and only friends... now or never.
"Wait, that story was true?" Dash asked shocked from over hearing the conversation. He couldn't even imagine the three geeks ever trying to do that.
"Yup," Danny answered smugly with a smile as he popped the 'p', "I even got it on tape."
Danny just shrug as he gained an evil grin, "For blackmail in the future, but mostly for laughs."
"Did you show it to anyone yet?" Tucker asked with his voice laced with worry, he didn't want anyone to seem him being chased by an angry ghost pig that he was trying to barbeque.
"Nope, well not yet that is," Danny replied evilly.
"I'm doomed!" Tucker cried out as he fell to his knees.
"It can't be that bad...Wait can it?" Kwan asked a bit confused.
"More then you know," Sam replied with her own evil smirk, she was happy that she was rubbing off on Danny.
"Don't worry Tuck, I have that video safely stored away," Danny assured his friend.
Tucker then sat there like a statue in thought as he realized something and asked, "Wait...How did you get a video of that? The last time I checked, there wasn't any recording feature in the game and there was no cameras around."
"Simple, I got one from a hidden quest," Danny answered then thought about something for a moment. He then opened up his inventory, selected an item and a silver and neon green video camera appeared in his open hand, "Thanks for the reminder Tuck, now lets see if we catch anything interesting this time around."
"Wait how do you still have it?" Tucker asked him confused as he stared at the camera a bit fearful, "I thought all of our items were deleted when the game was reset."
"I did lose it," Danny told him, "But remember when I went off alone a few days ago?"
"Yeah..." Tucker replied getting a bit of a clue to where this was going.
"Well the reason for that trip was to redo the quest again to get it again," Danny told him, "But was a bit harder to find this time around."
"So that where you disappeared off to," Tucker commented, he was wondering where his friend went off to that day.
"Wait how are you going to record if we are busy fighting?" Sam asked him
Danny's expression then dropped, "I didn't think about that."
Tucker then fist pumped the air in victory as Sam shook her head at her friend's antics. She then came up to Danny and looked the camera he was holding over and spotted a button that had a pair of wings on it. "Hey Danny, what does that do?" Sam asked as she pointed to the button.
Danny looked at said button and shrugged, "I don't know. I don't remember that being there before. Let see what it does," he then pressed the button.
The gang waited there for a bit waiting to see what would happen. But when nothing happened after a few minutes, Valery was about to say something when the camera took off into the air with a pair of ghostly transparent wings. "Awesome!" Danny cried out as he watched the camera flew around him for a bit then hovered a bit away from him.
"No! I can't escape the blackmailing!" Tucker cried out in disappointment.
Everyone then burst out into laughter at Tucker's reaction, but then were interrupted by someone yelling out, "Who dare intrude into my lair!"
The players then turned their attention to the center of the room where they saw a blue skinned ghost wearing dark purple-grey overalls and hat, light purple-grey undershirt and gloves, black boots, short black hair and red eyes. "I Am The Box Ghost! The Ruler Of This Realm! Beware My Cardboard Vengeance! For I Control All Things Rectangle And Square! Fear Me!"
Everyone stared at the ghost unsure of what to make of him, he wasn't anything like the other ghost and didn't look that threatening. Danny just stared at him trying to figure out where he saw him before and why he had the urge to take his anger out on him. As he thought about it, he heard Tucker say, "He doesn't seem that threatening. He doesn't even look that powerful!" and that is when it hit him. The ghost that was floating in fount of them was the same one in his dream last night.
Dream Flashback
In Danny's dream, he was floating over the town of Amity Park as a ghost with the Box Ghost floating in fount of him, "Beware! For I Am The Box Ghost! Master Of All Things Rectangluar And Square!"
"Really? This is the eighth time tonight? Don't you have anything better to do then to annoy me?" Danny asked in a bored tone.
"Maybe?" The Box Ghost answered, but it sounded more like a question, "But To Bug You Is Much More Entertaining!"
"Can't you wait to annoy me until tomorrow? I have school in the morning," Danny asked him hoping that he would say yes.
"Never! For It Is Already Tomorrow!" the Box Ghost replied knowingly.
"Then, can't you wait until the sun is up?" Danny asked with a sigh.
"Never! For I Am The Box Ghost! Master Of All Things Rectangular And Square! And I Will Not Let You Sleep!"
"I don't have time for this!" Danny cried out as he took out the silver and neon green thermos known as the Fenton Thermos.
"You Can Not Trap Me In A Cylinder Container! For It Can Not Hold The Great And Powerful Box Ghost!"
"You say that every time, but yet, I always catch you in it," Danny told him annoyed as he sucked the Box Ghost inside of it. "And for the record, you are not that threatening. You are more annoying then anything," Danny stated as he closed the thermos and took off.
Dream Flashback End
"Yup, not threatening at all. More like annoying," Danny groaned without thinking, it felt like he fought this guy a thousand times before this and just wanted to get this over and done with.
"It sounds like you fought him before," Dash commented at hearing the comment.
Danny shook his head, "No, this is my first time seeing him," then with an afterthough added in, "Well besides in dreams that is."
"Wait, I thought you said that you never met him before, so why would you have dreams with him in it?" Valery asked confused.
Danny just shrugged his shoulders in reply as Sam answered for him, "It probably from the weird dreams he been having lately."
"What kind of dreams?" Kwan asked letting his curiosity getting the best of him.
"Having ghost powers, fighting ghost like the Box Ghost here and others that are much stronger then him to protect our town," Danny answered.
"Then why didn't you choose the Ghost Class?" Dash asked him.
"I couldn't" Danny simply answered with a shrug, "When I logged on, the human class was already chosen for me and when I tried to change it I couldn't."
Before anyone could commented about what Danny said, the Box Ghost cried out with, "How Dare You All Ignore Me! Now You All Will Face My Cardboard Vengeance!" then the boxes that were floating around the room came flying at the players with a light blue glow.
As the players saw the boxes comin their way, they made a dash out of the boxes' paths. But some of the players were too slow and endded up being hit by some of them. Danny winced a bit at seeing some of the players being hit by boxes, but at least they were still alive. He then turned his attention back to he ghost at hand, he couldn't let go of the feeling of wanting to slap him stilly. "Man, I really use the Fenton Thermos right now," said to himself as he dodged a box coming his way. When he realized what he just said, he then asked himself, "Why did I just say that? For what ai know if, my parents haven't made that yet. Man, I hope I don't keep confusing myself with my dreams with the real wold then what I already am," then with another thought he said, "But a Fenton Thermos does sound like a good thing to use right now."
Danny then looked around and saw thst his surroundings were in chaos. Some of the groups were following the orders given to them, while the others were doing what they wanted. As he looked around, he saw that his team was rushing towards the Box Ghost with their weapons drawn. Tucker had out his Ghost Bow and was shooting arrows to cover Sam and Keth. Sam and Keth were both charging into battle gaining ground on the Box Ghost as they dodged the air born boxes. Sam had her Ghost Battle Ax, the handle was neon green with purple edging and grip, the head was silver with edges glowing a whitish color. Keth had out his Ghost Long Sword, it was just like the Ghost Sword but with a longer blade.
Before Danny took off to join his team, he took a look around him to see if anyone needed some help. Once he was sure that everyone was alright, he went charging forwards to face the Box Ghost.
Hey guys, here is the next chapter for Ghost Zone Online! But I got one questions for you all at the moment, who thought that the first boss was going to be the one and only Box Ghost? So I hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter. Sorry but not sorry if I left you guys on the edge of your seats waiting to see how this big Boss battle will go. One thinguy for sure though, the next chapter will have tons of stuff happening in it that I believe none of you would want to miss and just like I said last chapter, something big is going to happen besides the battle with the great and powerful Box Ghost.
Danny: Come can you please give us a hint on what is going to happen.
Me: -sighs- Like I said last time, it has something to do with what happens in one of your episodes.
Danny: How does thathat help? There are like 52 episodes in my series and tons of things happen in each of them!
Me: Hey, at least I didn't say it was in one of the Sword Arto Online episodes.
Danny: And why did you make him -points to the Box Ghost- a boss? I understand that he is one of my enemies and all, but did he really need to be the first Boss? Couldn't it have been the Lunch Lady since she was one of the first ghost I ever fought?
Me: -shrugs shoulders- I thought he would make a great first boss since he was one of the most weakest ghost you ever fought that kept on popping up no matter what. Plus I was going to save the Lunch Lady for another time.
Box Ghost: I Am Not Weak! For I Am The Great And Powerful Box Ghost! Master Of All Things Rectangluar And Square!
Danny and Me: Yeah, you are not that powerfull.
Box Ghost: Yes I Am!
Danny: Really dude, you are not that powerful, more annoying then powerfull. The only times that you were a bit of a threathreat was when you had Pandora'so Box or that one time in future that doesn't exist anymore for what I know of.
Box Ghost: Then I Guess I Have To Prove To You That I Am The Great And Powerful Box Gho-
Danny: -Sucks the Box Ghost into the Fenton Thermos- Yeah, I think we should save it for another time. Flare here needs to end this Author Note and I need to investigate her binder to see what is so secret about what happening next that she can't tell me. -takes off-
Me: Yup, so until next time, Flare, over and out! ...Wait... Danny, you are not allowed to go looking through my binder! Only myself and possibly Clockwork are allowed to know what is going to happen next! -chases after Danny-
