Chapter 10
Lost in the Woods
The Professor referred to the map he keeps in the trunk, according to it the tower belonging to the evil people whoever they were lived somewhere in the area, but they couldn't see it anywhere, it must have been hidden.
"My boy and his friend, we must locate the hidden secret that keeps the tower a secret." said Layton turning and Phoenix and Franziska quickly stopped what they were doing before he could see. "Uh okay."
Just then a man in black appeared.
"HEE HEE HEE, You will NEVER find our home! AAAAHAHAHAHA!" he laughed and he ran away.
"Phoenix, Franziska! After him!" shouted Layton.
So they all chased the guy into the forest, it was hard keeping up because he was fast but his laughing was so loud it was easy to know where he was. After lots of turning he eventually appeared running back and forward left right up down and it was really confusing.
"What is this nonsense" shouted Phoenix.
"He's running around everywhere!" shouted Apollo.
"Oh Apollo's still here." said Phoenix, but then Franziska whipped Apollo and he fell back and disappeared!
"Whaaaat?" shouted Layton. "What kind of forest is this?"
Mystery 4: The Weird Forest
They decided they needed to look for Apollo, so they went another way and saw a strange tree.
"Hello, anyone in there?" Phoenix called.
"There's not going to be anyone in there." said Layton.
"Yes there is" said a guy inside. "This is my house, that means your not allowed in here!"
"Sorry but this is emergency, we need to find Apollo, can we use your phone?" asked Nick.
"No!" the green thing prepared to fight with its fists so Phoenix picked him up and threw him into the fire.
"Hello, Apollo?" Phoenix said on the phone.
"Not quite, friend." said the deep dark voice.
"No not Apollo!" shouted Phoenix.
"Yes, and if you know what you're doing you won't interfere with our plans, OW, damn you Targeeeeeeeent!"
The phone cut off.
"That is strange, Targent must be around them." said Franziska
"But who's Targent." asked Phoenix.
"I know exactly who they are." said Layton, but then they noticed the green bush guy get up and he was on fire running around so the tree got caught on FIRE!
"GET OUT EVERYONE" shouted Phoenix running out with the two of them.
They were soon surrounded by lots of FIRE! It was so so hot they could barely survive, there was only one thing to do, Layton took off his hat and pulled it over them all to shelter them.
"This is not ideal for my hat but it works." said Layton.
They waited until all the trees were burned down before getting up, and saw an angry ghost there.
"OOOOOOOOH, YOU BURNED MY TREES AND NOW MY CURSE IS GOOOOOONE!" shouted the ghost. The ghost disappeared and suddenly the forest didnt look all the same, now the paths actually went somewhere and there was a tower in the middle.
And there were Targent planes surrounding it!
"It's Targent, this must be the place." said Layton.
Mystery 4 solved: So actually it turns out that the forest was cursed by a ghost so we'd be lost forever, fortunately a fire killed him by burning down the tree that gave him life, get burned pal!
