Ooh, sorry about the late updates…I was banned from my Netbook, and school is starting back soon…I know, I shouldn't be online, but yeah…thanks to the loyal reviewers!
Question of the Day: If you have played Pokemon Black and White, which starter is your favourite?
Chapter 7: Bring on the Ghost Tricks!
"So…I'm dead?" Samuel asked Shadow. They were both in the Ghost World, and Shadow was beginning to lose his patience.
"Yeah, you are. Did you see who killed you?" Shadow asked.
"…Can't remember. Why are you here anyway?"
"No reason…" Shadow suddenly got a funny idea, and grinned to himself. Okay, he didn't really grin as such, because souls don't have mouths and they communicate telepathically.
"Your name is Samuel, and you're a pretty rainbow unicorn, who likes cupcakes and…" Shadow sniggered.
"WHAT! I CAN'T BE A UNICORN! THAT'S CRAZY!"
"Damn, he didn't fall for it.."Shadow muttered.
"So…what are you doing here, hedgehog?" Samuel asked, glaring at Shadow.
"Ghost Tricks, 4 minutes before death, secret file, ferrets who've played too much Assassin's Creed. In a nutshell."
"So…you've heard of the Ghost Tricks…and you have them…how strange."
"Yeah. And sadly, I'm going to have to stop your death. But I'll only do that if you promise to tell me what those ferrets want, and more about the Ghost Tricks. Deal?"
"…Deal…" Samuel grumbled.
"Shadow…have you noticed anything strange about your friend? Or the colour of the Ghost World?" the voice asked.
"Now you mention it…the Ghost World is red now…and usually it's blue…" Shadow said, looking around. The Ghost World really was a pretty red colour.
"Hey! Turn back time already!" Samuel shouted, getting impatient.
"Fine…why do I have such bad luck?"
" You know, I never got a chance to have iced coffee…or go to a coffee making event…" Samuel sighed sadly. Shadow just sighed and turned back time.
4 Minutes Before Death: Sammy, I mean, Samuel.
Samuel was reading some paperwork at his desk, and shaking his head.
"Blasted ferrets…why did they have to go and rebel? Didn't they think I wouldn't get the damn paperwork to fill out? It's going to take hours to go through all this…" he complained. Just then, a ferret walked in, smirking. He walked up to the desk.
"Hello…Samuel." he said.
"A ferret? What do you want? Did you come to surrender?" Samuel asked, glaring at the ferret.
"No…quite the opposite. In fact, I've come for a file and that meteorite shard you have. Radar sent me."
"Radar…so he's still alive then…why doesn't he come here himself, and get revenge?"
"Because…he doesn't need to, and you know too much…way too much. Where's the shard?" the ferret started looking around the office.
"You won't find it around here. I gave it to someone else. Good luck finding it." Samuel said, slowly taking his gun out. The ferret paused as Samuel tried to fire his gun, but it just clicked.
"WHAT? I'm out of bullets!" Samuel yelled. The ferret grinned.
"Looks like you're in a tight spot. I don't need the meteorite shard anyway…that hedgehog has most of the shards. So I'll take this file…" the ferret snatched the file off the desk, and then took his gun out.
"You're really going to shoot me? When I have no weapon? You ferrets really have sunk low…" Samuel muttered.
"I'm not sorry for this. Bye."
BANG!
*end of account*
"Oh, that gunshot was heavenly…" Shadow sighed.
"You don't have to rub it in!" Samuel yelled.
"Whatever…but, it really was music to my ears."
"You're a demon. A evil demon hedgehog."
"And you're dead." Shadow smirked and turned time back again.
Trick Time!
"More like lounge around time…" Samuel muttered under his breath. Shadow just sat back, and watched the scene play out.
"I could get used to this…" he said cheerfully.
"Aren't you going to like, I don't know…DO SOMETHING?" Samuel yelled in Shadow's face.
"Yeah, in a bit…but, it looks like there's not many paths I can take around here. I might just have to let the scene play out again."
"I have had enough of this! I'll just save myself!"
Shadow jumped in shock as his vision turned red again, and he saw Samuel's soul possessing a cup. The ferret was standing directly in front of it, pointing the gun.
"Samuel…you don't have Ghost Tricks. I do." he pointed out.
"I know that! But I'm dead, so I'm a ghost, so that means I CAN do Ghost Tricks! You wait until I'm alive again!" Samuel jumped up and down.
"You're doing the Ghost Tricks wrong."
Samuel just swore angrily at Shadow, and possessed the ferret. The world went back to normal, except the ferret was twitching. He pulled his gun back, and pointed it at his own head.
"What the heck?" Shadow shouted.
"There's a meteorite shard somewhere in this office. So that guy must have been exposed to it…and he got the power to possess living things. I'm surprised you didn't notice. People with Ghost Tricks can switch to the Ghost World themselves, and even though your friend doesn't have the Trick of 4 Minutes Before Death, since you went back to the past, he came too." the voice explained.
"He's not my friend…"
"Well, if I were you, I would help out now. There's a path nearby."
Shadow possessed a random book on a shelf, and made it land on the ferret's head. He stopped twitching, and passed out on the floor.
"There, I saved you! Now, you better tell me everything!" he shouted to Samuel.
"Fine…but, I want to know more about these Ghost Tricks you have."
Fate Averted! (WHY?)
So, Shadow returned to the present, and unexpectedly found himself being strangled by a cranky Commander, while Rouge was trying to break up the fight.
"What the Chaos, Samuel! I just saved your life!" Shadow gasped for breath.
"Yeah, because you want something out of it! Did you honestly think I was going to tell you anything?" Samuel asked.
"Guys, come on! Break it up!" Rouge shouted, trying to pull his hands off Shadow.
"Ow…" a voice muttered from the floor. Samuel looked down and saw the ferret was still there, knocked out.
"I nearly forgot about him. Oh well." he went back to strangling Shadow. The door opened, and Paul walked in, and saw the random fight going on.
"…Okay…Sir, I've got information on the Black Claw Clan…" he said slowly.
"Well, come back later, I'm killing Shadow!" Samuel yelled at him. Shadow stopped moving around.
"Finally, he's dead…"
"I wouldn't count on that…" Rouge smiled. Samuel glared at her, and then a rather heavy book fell on his head. He dropped Shadow, and passed out.
"Just what's up with this guy? I used the Ghost Tricks to save his miserable life, and he tries to kill me!" Shadow shouted, getting up.
"He didn't have coffee today…at all…the coffee maker's broken." Paul explained.
"Oh, that explains a lot."
"Maybe if you fix the coffee maker, he'll help you?" Rouge suggested.
"Why did I come here?" Shadow facepalmed.
After an hour of hitting the coffee maker, cursing it and trying to get it to work, Samuel managed to get his cup of coffee.
"Since you fixed that machine, I'll tell you about the Black Claw Clan." he said, rather calmly.
"Glad that's over…and we still have a ferret around here you know." Shadow looked around for the ferret, only to find he was gone.
"He must have run off while YOU were double crossing me." he glared at Samuel, who just shrugged.
"So…aren't you going to tell us about that file now?" Rouge asked.
"Do I have to?"
And then, Shadow lost his patience and snapped.
"YES YOU DO! YOU BETTER TELL ME BEFORE I TAKE THAT COFFEE AWAY!" he threatened, hitting the desk.
"NO! NOT THE COFFEE! I'll start talking!" Samuel panicked.
I know, it's a short chapter…but hopefully, I'll be able to update soon. Now, I'm going to run for my life.
Tachi: Why?
Because Shadow is glaring at me…and he doesn't look happy…
Shadow: *death glares at me*
…REVIEW! *runs off, screaming*
