Despite the current disappearances of many people and the unknown mirror monster. Amity Park is in a way a nice place to live for some people. Even Fenton Works, the home and headquarters of Amity Park's own family of Ghost Hunters. Once you get past the strange UFO shaped Ops Center on top of the apartment home styled building it looks quite normal.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THIS!" shouted out an angry teenage boy while the sounds of ectoplasm beams were being shot.
Okay, so maybe it's not that normal. You see, after a week of being in bed due to food poisoning involving ectoplasm in left over Lo Mien. Tucker Foley, Danny's best male friend, signed him up for the Casper High Talent Show. The end result is Tucker being shot at by Danny who is using his parents' new Fenton Bazooka.
"I'M SORRY DANNY!" screamed Tucker as he ducked from another round of ectoplasm aimed at his head.
"SORRY'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOLEY!" yelled Danny as he prepared to fire another round.
"Danny calm down!" yelled Jazz as she ducked from a stray shot from the bazooka wielding Fenton.
"Your sister is right sweetie. Don't you think you're overreacting?" mentioned Maddie from behind the couch. Well, she was behind Jack who was hiding behind the couch, but close enough.
Danny stopped firing the bazooka and started to shake in uncontrollable rage.
"Overreacting?" muttered Danny as he glared at his parents. "OVERREACTING!" he yelled as he aimed the bazooka at the couch.
"Uh-oh," said Jack who also summed up their situation.
"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" shouted Danny as he opened fire once again.
Yes, just another questionably normal day in the Fenton home between family and friends.
The next day, Danny and Tucker were walking to their school. Well, Danny was stomping his way to school while Tucker lagged behind. He was either purposely lagging behind due to be scared of Danny's next outburst, or he was dragging himself after a severe beating that came from Danny, take your pick. The boys entered the school and headed for their lockers. Just as they were about to open their lockers, then were slammed onto the lockers by none other than Dash and Kwan.
"Well, what do know? Look at who decided to show up Kwan," taunted Dash.
"Looks like our favorite punching bag Dash," replied Kwan.
"Your right, let's give him a welcome back present," suggested Dash as a crowd began to form.
The blonde jock turned Danny around so he can aim for the boy's head. Danny looked at Dash with a pointed look that showed no fear of the school bully.
"Let go of me Dash. I'm not in the mood for your crap," growled Danny.
"Oh, looks like Fen-toenail finally got a back bone?" joked Dash as he prepared to throw his punch at Danny's face.
Danny rolled his eyes and moved his arms out. Then faster than Dash's fist smacked the bigger teen's ears. Dash let go of Danny to cover his ears and yelled out in pain from being hit like that. Danny walked around Dash and headed towards Kwan. Kwan let go of Tucker and charged at Danny. However, the smaller boy moved to his right and tripped Kwan up. The Asian jock fell forward and crashed into Dash who was starting to recover. Danny went to help Tucker up who was staring at his friend in shock.
"Wow dude, I didn't know you could do that," complemented Tucker as he accepted Danny's hand to get up.
"It's not that hard to do Tuck. I just don't feel like being picked on today," replied Danny as he started to walk to his first period.
"Hey Danny, does this mean you forgive me for the Talent Show?" asked Tucker with hope in his voice.
"Don't push it Tuck," answered Danny as he went ahead of his technology-loving friend.
Danny and Tucker arrived to their first class of the day. To Tucker's surprise as well as many other students, Mr. Lancer was not in the classroom. Instead, Ms. Tetslaff walked into the classroom.
"Alright people listen up!" ordered the freakishly built woman. "Seeing how Mr. Lancer is still on his three week vacation to recover from his moment of insanity. I will be substituting for all of his duties for this week," she explained.
'Great, she's going to be one busy woman,' thought Danny as he started sketching in his notebook.
'Lancer is on vacation and we're stuck her with Ms. Tetslaff. How is that fair?' Tucker mentally whined.
As Tetslaff began her lesson, the class started to tone her out and drift into their own little worlds. Danny was half-sketching and half-paying attention as Tetslaff to talk about Hamlet. Tucker was fiddling with his PDA under his desk. Kwan was staring at the back of Dash's head with nothing on his mind really. Paulina was filing her nails while nearly all, but four boys were admiring her. Valerie was glaring at Danny from behind her textbook due to a little bad blood between them. Star was glancing around without Tetslaff noticing. Dash on the other hand, was still thinking about his loss to Dragon Knight.
'Who can this dweeb be? Could he be Lance? No way, if he were Lance would have told me. Maybe one of the nerds I usually wail on. Yeah that would make sense, but none of them has the strength to fight. They're all too puny, especially Fen-toenail,' mentally ranted Dash as he raked his brain to figure out who Dragon Knight is. Dash still refuses to believe Danny can defend himself.
'Who does that geek think he is? How dare he call me a fake? I bet he was lying about his mom being a ninth degree black belt. I'll show him who can fight,' Valerie mentally growled.
After several minutes, the bell rang and the students left for their next class. Danny and Tucker separated due to having a different second period. Luckily, for Tucker, Dash and Kwan were not in his next class. All he has to put up with is Star and Valerie, who happen to sit next to him. You almost feel sorry for them don't you? As for Danny, he too doesn't have to deal with Dash and Kwan. Instead, he has to deal with a friend of Jazz. Danny still has a hard time believing that Jazz actually has friends.
Danny entered his next class, which happens to be History. He took his seat, which is right next to Jazz's friend Amber 'Ember to her friends' McClain. She happens to be around Jazz's height with long brunette hair in a high ponytail. She wore a punk rock shirt and black leather jeans. She finished it off with dark skull designed boots.
"Hey dipstick, heard from Jazz you got roped into the Talent Show," commented Ember with a smirk.
"Don't remind me, I still want to kill Tucker for that," replied Danny as he banged his head on his desk.
"Oh come on. He probably did it for a couple of laughs," said Ember trying to lift her friend's, little brother's spirits.
"Jazz did tell you how I shot at him and everyone in the house right?" questioned Danny still with his face on his desk.
"You did? Whoa she forgot to mention that," commented Ember. "She did tell me that you were last one to see Mr. Lancer before he went on vacation," she added off hand.
"Yes and I still can't figure out how the Hell that man got in my house," replied Danny.
"Well, have you come up with something for the Talent Show anyway or were you too busy trying to kill your best male friends and your family?" joked Ember.
"Shut up," said Danny as their teacher entered the classroom.
Meanwhile over at Amity Park Police Department, the Fenton GAV can be seen outside parked over a crushed SWAT car. Jack and Maddie were outside of the GAV along with Officer Stone who was busy giving Jack a ticket because of his reckless destruction.
"Why is it that whenever we see each other it's usually about me giving you a ticket for property damage Jack?" asked Officer Stone.
"Well David," started Jack.
"Tyler," corrected Officer Stone.
"Well anyway Jeff," started Jack again forgetting Officer Stone's first name. "The Maddie and I were following a lead on the ghostly abductors that haunt our fair town. So we moved as fast as we can and took a wrong turn and found ourselves here," he explained.
"And this will help calm Sheriff Walker down how?" asked Tyler knowing that this will lead to trouble for all three of them.
"Simple Tony, we'll tell the Sheriff that we'll take care of the ghost attack our town, while you guys do… whatever you guys do," answered Jack.
"Jack dear, maybe we should explain to Sheriff Walker it was all misunderstanding," said Maddie trying to calm her husband down before he makes a fool out of both of them.
"Well what do we have here?" asked a man with a thick western accent. He wore a white suit that you would see in mafia movies. He had black boots on and black gloves. On top of his head was a white fedora with a black band around it. "If it isn't Jack and Madeline Fenton. Destruction of police property? That's against the rules," he added with a smirk.
"Look Walker, we're sorry for what has happen," started Maddie wanting to prevent anymore bad blood between the sheriff and the Fenton couple.
"Sorry doesn't repair damage equipment Madeline," commented Walker. "I suggest you and your husband vacate the premises before I put you both in holding again. Only this time I'll keep you both in for the actual week," he stated, borderline threatened.
"Are you threatening us?" growled Maddie.
"Madeline, with the way you two keep on interfering with police business. I am close to having your entire family expunged from Amity Park. The only reason that has not happen is because our families have been friends for generations. However, that does not excuse any of these reckless actions. I'm not surprise how your son is always harassed because of you two acting more like children than him and your daughter," explained Walker.
"Now wait a minute," started Maddie.
"No Maddie let's go," said Jack in a surprisingly humble tone as he dragged his wife back into the GAV and left the police station.
After school, Danny was heading home since Tucker stayed behind to talk to Mr. Technus about some science project or something. He arrived home and entered the secretly constructed garage for the GAV. He turned on the lights and saw what he was looking for. Inside the secret garage was a motorcycle that his parents were working on converting into an Anti-Ghost hunting motorcycle. The plan on calling it the Fenton Specter Racer. Due to neither parent having a license to ride a motorcycle, (despite Jack riding another motorcycle after nearly destroying the GAV.) they scraped the project. Danny, on the other hand was ecstatic about it. So he decided to work on it himself after learning about auto repair from Tucker's dad.
The motorcycle was a stripped down Ducati 999 model. All it had was the frame, engine, suspension, the front fork, the transmission, and the final drive. The wheels, tires, and brakes were taken off because Maddie wanted to turn the shelved Specter Racer into a hover bike during its planning stage. Since his parents gave up on the project, Danny took an interest in customizing the bike for himself before he got his license.
"I think I should make the front fork look like Dragredder's front legs," commented Danny as he started to think about the design he wants to use.
"Danny! Are you home?" yelled Jazz from the living room.
"I'm in the garage Jazz!" Danny yelled back to his sister.
"We have a garage?" questioned Jazz.
Danny left the garage and entered the kitchen. Danny still has a hard time figuring out how the garage leads to the kitchen, but who is he to argue over his parents' strange habits of installing things that you don't normally find in their home? Certainly not Danny still his mind will be hurting just trying to understand his parents. He saw his sister enter the kitchen.
"I thought you would be at the hospital to see Sam today," remarked Jazz as she took a seat at the table.
"Not today, she has to go through her usual examinations today. She doesn't want me there because they take up the visiting hours that we would have together," replied Danny.
"Oh yeah, now I remember," commented Jazz as she grabbed a glass of water.
As the siblings talked about their classes and had some left over food from the fridge. They checked to make sure they were possessed or back from the dead. Their parents arrived looking very dejected as the two finished their meals. They both became quiet and noticed that their father was extremely quiet and their mother was sporting an expression of rage. The siblings looked at each other and nodded their heads in unison. They got up and left the kitchen knowing their mom is not in the best of moods right now. Danny looked back and saw his dad giving him a pleading look. Danny smile waved and mouthed good luck to his father.
As Danny entered his room, he heard the sound of the mirror world. He closed his door and headed to his mirror on top of his drawer. He placed his deck in front of him and his belt appeared around his waist. He paused to look at his door hoping no would knock or open it. After seeing it stay closed, he turned to the mirror again.
"Dragon Knight," he said as he slid his deck in place. His armor attached itself onto him as he jumped into his mirror.
Meanwhile, over at Elmerton Johnny was punching the wall. He was angry for nearly being beaten by Verde a week ago. The reason he's still alive was because he got luck with summoning Volcancer to tackle the chameleon based Rider. During the week of recovering, Johnny was trying to think of a way to get back at Verde.
'Damn him, I should be getting my fame back. Not getting my ass handed to me,' ranted Johnny in his head. 'Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. Maybe I should have someone do the fighting for me. Then after he takes care of everyone, I'll just get rid of him permanently,' he thought darkly.
With this thought in his head, Johnny now knows what to do. He just needs to find a Rider strong and stupid enough to work with him. Before he could think of a Rider, the sound of the mirror world called out to him.
"Party time," said Johnny as he grabbed his deck and headed to his mirror.
Inside the mirror world, Dragon Knight arrived at the Water Park on his Ride Shooter. He dismounted and ran into the theme park. He saw Ouja fighting with a giant silver metallic spider. The spider attacked with its front two legs, while Ouja was blocking with his Veno Saber. Not wanting Ouja to be beaten by the monster spider, Dragon Knight charged in to assist the purple Rider. He slid his Drag Visor and pulled out a card.
STRIKE VENT
With his Drag Claw now attached to his right arm, Dragon Knight pulled his arm back. His partner, Dragredder appeared overhead and got behind his master. Dragon Knight threw his arm out and Dragredder shot a large flame at the spider. The spider monster was hit in its left side by the flames and hissed out in agony. Ouja jumped back while the beast was occupied with its injury. He saw Dragon Knight come heading towards him.
"Any reason for saving me?" asked Ouja as he glared down at the young Rider.
"What? And see you get killed on the off beat chance that thing wins?" retorted Dragon Knight.
"Good point kid. It would be very vexing to lose to that before I get my rush from fighting all of you other Riders," commented Ouja as he cracked his neck.
"Glad we agree on that," replied Dragon Knight as he glared at the oversized spider. "Now before we face each other let's deal with this," he added.
However, the two Riders wouldn't get their chance. As soon as it happened, the humanoid crab Volcancer appeared and knocked the two of them away. They got back up and saw Scissors arrived from the rear of the spider. He looked over the two Riders and jumped onto the spider's back. He then stomped on the beast's head and jumped towards the others.
"Well what do know?" commented Scissors. "Here I was thinking about looking for a strong Rider and I find two," he added with a hint of amusement in his voice.
"What the Hell do you want?" questioned Ouja while gripping his sword tighter.
"Wait a minute there big guy. I'm not here to fight you two," defended Scissors. "I'm only offering a truce," offered the bronze Rider.
"A truce?" repeated Dragon Knight as the three Riders jumped away from the recovering spider. Volcancer left the area while his master began his negotiation.
"Yeah, some hot shot Rider appeared a week ago and claimed the mirror world as his personal property," explained Scissors as he blocked one of the spider's legs with his Scissors Visor.
"Who the Hell would claim this place as theirs?" ask Dragon Knight as he back flipped away from the spider.
"He calls himself Verde and he seems like a real basket case," answered Scissors as he pulled a card from his belt.
STRIKE VENT
At that command, his Scissors Pincer appeared on his right arm. He swung it and caught one of the spider's legs with it. Dragon Knight dodges another attack from the spider beast and pulled another card out.
SWORD VENT
He caught his Drag Saber in time to slice a leg that was heading towards him. The spider monster roar in pain as it tried to get away and managed to fling Scissor away from itself. Ouja jumped into the air and swung his sword downwards to chop the spider's head in half. However, the monster spider knocked him away with one of its legs. Ouja rolled away from the monster and got back up.
"Damn he is so damn vexing," cursed Ouja as he pulled his Veno Visor out and grabbed a card. "How about we wrap this up?" he asked the other Riders.
"Sounds good to me," answered Dragon Knight as he pulled a card out.
"I'm in," replied Scissor as he did the same as Dragon Knight.
FINAL VENT
FINAL VENT
FINAL VENT
At the same time both Dragon Knight and Ouja launched themselves into the air. Dragredder circled around his master, while Ouja back flipped towards Venosnaker. For Scissors, Volcancer appeared behind his master from a mirror that suddenly appeared on the ground. Scissors jumped back and landed on Volcancer's claws. The crab monster flung his master at the spider. Scissor curled into a ball and somersaulted towards the monster's head. Dragon Knight flew down with his flying sidekick aimed at the monster's back. Ouja descended performing his rapid bicycle kick at the spider's back end. The three attacks collided onto the monster and it exploded from the combined attacks.
The three Riders stood in front of each other waiting for the next move to happen. As for the spider monster that was killed. It turns out it turned into three balls of light. They floated into the air and were swallowed by the three contract monsters.
"So now that was taken care of, do you two want to help me take care of Verde?" asked Scissors.
"If by take care you mean get rid of him? Yes, but I'll take care of him myself," answered Ouja as he walked away.
"But the three of us can take him down no problem if we work together," pleaded Scissors as he tried to convince Ouja to join him. His pleas flaw on deaf ears from Ouja. "What about you Dragon Knight?" he asked hoping for a better chance with the younger Rider.
"I would say do it yourself, but I'll help you take care of Verde," answered Dragon Knight.
"Really you will?" asked Scissors.
"For now, but we are not a team. If you double cross me, I will take you down along with this Verde," threatened Dragon Knight as he walked off as well.
'Damn these guys are no fools. I'm going to have to be very careful with Dragon Knight,' thought Scissor as he left the area as well.
As Danny entered his room from his mirror, he laid down on his bed and look at the ceiling. He put on his ipod and selected a song to listen to before going to bed. He started to sing quietly to the lyrics of the song.

He finished singing, turned off his ipod, and went to bed. However, what he didn't know was that Jazz heard him from behind his door. Apparently, Danny wasn't quiet enough if Jazz could hear him.
'Danny really is a good singer. I don't know why he doesn't want to be in the talent show. He could win with singing like that,' thought Jazz as she went back into her room to go to sleep.
Author note: That wraps up this chapter and I have given myself a new story arc to work with. Danny is sort of working with Johnny to face Verde, but like Danny said, they are NOT a team. As for the motorcycle, that is something that may or may not be brought up again. I'm still deciding on that since Danny is fourteen and doesn't have a learner's permit, so he cannot ride it legally. Still stay tuned for another exciting chapter of If you don't Fight, you don't Survive. Man that is a mouth full for a title.
