A few days had passed since that incident with the dog at the factory, and those days had been ghost free. While usually a blessing, there was an odd feeling floating around.
"Danny, something does not add up." Sam looked towards her secret crush. Well, kind of secret. "At least he doesn't know." She thought to herself.
"Sam, why can't you just relax? My ghost sense hasn't gone off in half a week! I finally get a break from stuffing the Box Ghost back into the thermos." Danny was laying on his bed, hanging his head over the edge.
"This doesn't feel right Danny, ghosts don't just take a vacation." Sam folded her arms and leaned againts the wall next to his door. She almost got whacked in the head when Tucker barged in. His face was glued to his PDA, and he only looked up to start up Danny's computer.
"Still trying to figure out what kind of dog that was?" Sam walked over to the desk the computer was sitting on.
"Shhh, hold on a second." Tucker shushed Sam. Danny sat up in his bed and backed away from his two friends. Sam did not like being shushed. Sam looked angry, and was about to smack Tuck one upside the head right as he turned around. "You guys have to look at this."
Looking at the computer screen, Sam read aloud. "This ancient dog was first depicted in Greek folklore, appearing to be a mix of a Wolf and a modern day Bull Mastif. He was sent by his master to eliminate his enemies by any means necisary. Similar creatures have appeared in Egyptian, Norse, and Aztec mythology, with the same task." Sam turned to look at Tucker. "How did you find this?"
"I have this feature on my computer that randomly brings up websites that it thinks I would be interested in, and one night it brought up this. I knew I saw that dog somewhere before."
Danny looked over Tuckers shoulder. "Whoa, that looks just like our ghost, except it's not green."
Sam rolled her eyes. "It's a black and white picture, of course it's not green."
"Yeah, I know. I'm going to go into the ghost zone and see if I can find anything about this guy. Hopefully I can find out who his master was." Rings appeared around Danny as he turned ghost.
"Be careful." Sam told him as he hovered over the floor. "Don't worry, I'll be back before suppertime." Danny replied, and he flew through his floor, heading towards the portal.
"So hows that crush
of yours coming?" Tucker asked Sam, not even looking away from
the computer. "Not now Tucker, why don't you..."
The
bedroom started to shake, tossing Sam onto the bed. Tucker fell out
of the chair and crawled under the desk. Suddenly, the window
shattered, spreading glass all over the room, and a giant spider-like
ghost crawled into the room. It was mostly a deep purple, with green
splotches adorning its back. Red hair-like fur covered its head, and
it had a scorpion tail with a nasty looking barb on the tip.
"This looks bad." Tucker said, pulling the chair in front of him. Sam noticed a thermos sitting on a nearby shelf. The spiider let loose a painful sounding roar, or as close to a roar spiders could make. Sam jumped off the bed, trying to reach the thermos, but the spider shot out a silk looking substance, trapping her just before she reached the cabinet. It scuttled over to Sam and pulled her up onto it's back.
"Sam!" Tucker yelled in fear. The spider crawled back towards the window. Tucker got out from under the desk just as it leaped out of the window and crawled its way up to the OPs center. Tucker looked up out the window. "Ok, now this looks worse."
