Yep, there's another one! This kinda will be a little different or unique. Hope you enjoy this one. Review please!
Lucy's POV
We all landed on some gray solid ground, the bunch piling up on top of each other. As soon as we landed and the portal disappeared, everyone slowly got up and began turning into solid stone. They were already statues by the time I got up on my feet. I ran to my love Jared, trying to shake him, but he was solid stone.
"Jared! JARED!" I cried out, looking at my surroundings at the landscape, which was dead, vacant and dark in the middle of daytime. I saw some statues of previous living beings being smashed into rubble, which freaked me out so much that I fazed all of my statued friends underground, then placed a glowing green circle in the middle to show their location. They're not going to need to be out in the open for a while anyways. "What should I do? What should I do? My friends are turned to stone, I'm alone, and I'm talking to myself."
I looked out and saw the same group destroying those statues of human beings coming toward me. I grew nervous, not knowing what I should do. At least my friends are safe, but what should I do? I'm so confused! Why has every living thing turned to stone? Why am I the only one not stoned, besides this group? What should I do? How can I save my friends!?
"You don't belong here," one of the members of the group, which I realized were zombies.
"Uh... where do I belong?" I asked nervously.
"You belong at the Ghost District with all the other ghosts! You're under arrest for trespassing!"
Before I knew it I was tackled to the ground, trying to fight my way out of this. I began screaming and crying, using my ghost ray from my hands to attack them, scramble to my feet, and dash away. I was running as fast as I could, but it was hard to run in a dress. Wait, I'm a ghost, I don't need to run! I began flying up in the air, taking off to the sky, since zombies can't fly.
"After her!" One of the other zombies shouted as they all began shooting me down with guns. Wait, they have guns!? But... bullets can just faze through me.
Of course, I was hit by one of the bullets, then realized the bullets were glowing green. They were anti ghost bullets. I probably should've thought this through. I found myself falling, screaming bloody murder, before hitting the ground hard. I grasped onto my wound before passing out.
I woke up, moaning inside a jail cell. I instantly became scared, not knowing what was going to happen to me. I brushed my curls from my face, looking out behind the bars and seeing a zombie bodyguard outside of the door. This situation felt more hopeless by the minute. I still don't know what's going on or how to fix it. Usually, things are always fixed, but now I have to fix them somehow and I don't know how.
I got up from the bed and walked toward the jail bars, leaning my forehead against them. There has to be some way I can figure this whole thing out, but I didn't know what I was supposed to do. Actually, the first thing I should do is find a way to get out of this cell... though how that's going to be possible is beyond me, unless...
Concentrating, my hand fazed through the bars. Huh! So, I guess this jail isn't ghost proof? Wait, if there are ghosts here, why aren't these bars ghost proof? I suppose this is another universe and maybe ghosts here don't work the same way. That's the only conclusion I can conjure up. Oh well!
I fazed through the bars, then flew out of the jail cell to under the ground. I didn't want to be noticed by anyone in this world. I wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible. Finally, I did find a city of some sort with ghosts in them. It took a really long time, including looking for maps, but I finally found it. I'm such a genius! Don't worry guys, my love, I will free you from this curse.
Walking through the town, I began searching for some sort of library around here. If I can find something, at least some old newspapers, then maybe I can figure out what's going on around here. It's a shot! I did finally find a library, and hopefully this one will give me the answers I need to solve the mystery of this world and why my friends have turned to stone. I suppose it could have something to do with the fact every human, plant and animal are stoned statues and the zombies destroying them. Do they have some sort of issue against living things? That's just weird!
Just as I entered inside the library, I began searching for a book that would tell me why every human and living thing has turned to stone. Of course, it was hard looking for a book like that, since I could only find some science stuff and history that only talked about the ghost's history.
"Excuse me, Miss," I heard an old man speak, which made me jump as I quickly turned and saw a ghostly old librarian with a cane and a huge crooked nose.
"Uh... hi?" I replied, still freaking out.
"What might you be looking for?"
"I'm... looking for a book that could tell me why humans are stone," I replied nervously, hoping I wouldn't get arrested again.
"Ah, you must be the chosen one."
"Come again?"
"Long ago, humans used to live in paradise, while the dead stayed dead. One day, an evil woman came to this world named Medusa. She escaped from prison and tried to live a normal life in the real world, but every person she talked to turned to stone. She was so enraged that she searched through books to go to an underground magical vortex, which sent her to the center of the world. The world she entered hooked up to a powerful transmitter, which linked to her powers and turned every living thing into stone. She also used a magic amulet called the Amulet of the Dead to bring the dead to life, since she was bored and lonely.
"Only the chosen one with a living soul and a deep love for humans shall stop Medusa."
"Does a simple crush on one and friends with several more count?"
"Eh, good enough," the librarian said, then took out a book that read A Guide For Stopping Medusa, if She Turns Every Living Thing Into Stone.
Suddenly, I began hearing this weird buzzing sound, a telephone booth slowly appearing in the middle of the library. I stood there in shock, wondering what that thing was. For some reason, I knew I've seen this from somewhere, but I don't know where. I began thinking where I saw this just as the door of the phone booth burst open and some sort of R2D2-like robot appeared, with a long pointer thing, came bursting from the door of the phone booth.
Out of the phone booth came Jared with a baseball bat in his hand. A weird looking robot was behind him.
"You get out of my TARDAS, you stupid Dalek!" Jared shouted. He had a brown suit, brown pants, and a bow tie, speaking in a British accent. He ran up to the Dalek and kept smashing it with the baseball bat.
"Exterminate," the Dalek said in a fuzzy voice. Wait just a darn minute!
"THIS IS FROM DOCTOR WHO!" I cried out. Golly, I used to watch that show with my parents before I died! I knew I saw this from somewhere!
"Break into my ship, will you?" Jared muttered in a British accent, then saw me and facepalmed. "Oh no, not you!"
"Who is this?" The robot asked in a plan and robotic accent.
"Lucy Assistant. Assistant Lucy," Jared introduced just before I ran up and hugged him tightly. He moaned, but I didn't care. I was more than happy to see my one and only love again. "Okay, that is enough. Now, will you please get off me!?"
"Sorry, it's just- wait, why aren't you turned to stone?" I asked.
"Oh, that's because I'm a time lord now and time does not effect me, which is how the stone thing around here works," Jared explained, then his accent changed from British to his normal accent. "Also, I don't really have a British accent. It's just fun using it."
"Oh... by the way, what's with a Dalek being on your TARDIS?"
"Oh that? Emily and I were fighting an army of Daleks. One of them shot and killed my sister. I last saw her in the middle of regenerating, so she should be here in a few minutes, hopefully," Jared replied, then noticed the book I was holding. "Ah, so you finally found my book!" He snatched it from my hands, placed it down on the table, and flipped through the pages.
"Wait, you wrote this book!?"
"Yeah, I figured it'd come in handy when the time was right, and you found all of us turned to stone. It took a tone of research, blood and sweat... also, asking you, after you defeated Medusa, helped too."
"So... how am I supposed to-" I asked just as Jared turned to the page in the middle of the huge book. I looked at it. "It looks like a map."
"It is a map. This is where you need to be," Jared explains, pointing to the big red X at a small pond, then pointing at a little red dot, which looked like a city of some sort. "This is where we are now."
"Huh."
"I made sure it was obvious for you to read."
"Thanks!" I thanked Jared, kissing him on the cheek, then grabbed his wrist, pulling him along. "Let's go!"
"Fine, just don't kiss me again!"
"Tread carefully, young adventurers, you will face many dangers along the way."
We both ran out of the library, the book in my right arm, before flying the both of us into the air. Jared hung onto me just as I was flipping the pages of the map to figure out where we were supposed to go. I followed the directions, which were a piece of cake to follow.
Time lord/future Normal Jared's POV
I suppose I should explain myself. You could say that I am what the normal me is going to be in... probably several years of immorality later, and eventually ending up in the Doctor Who universe on Gallifrey. My sister and I ended up there and told the council of our... alternate dimensions situation. They helped us by making TARDAS's for the both of us, waiting until the portal reached us, then used their technology to transfer the portals into our TARDIS's. After that, the council made us official Universe Explorers. So yeah, we're time lord universe explorers. Our jobs are to map out all the dimensions that exist in our worlds. I suppose since we've been traveling universes for years, it makes sense that we automatically became time lords.
Anyways, I hung onto Lucy, while she flew the both of us to the location of Medusa's hideout. I've never exactly seen the hideout, so it could be anything. It doesn't help that I was never... well there and was a stone statue during the time all of this was happening. So, I'm kinda clueless of the events that are going to take place. I'm a time lord explorer, not father time.
Lucy landed us near a pond where I could see a large tower nearby. I smirked, "well, looks like we obviously know where Medusa's hiding at."
"Yep, there!" Lucy said, pointing to the large glowing green vortex in the middle of the pond. Huh.
"Didn't... see that."
Then, Lucy and I noticed something appearing right behind us soundlessly. It looked like... a giant... tea pot... really? Of all the TARDIS looks and this is the one Emily's new regeneration could come up with? I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised. My sister is really weird like that.
The giant tea pot TARDIS appeared and I noticed a young woman with curly royal blue hair, pale skin, thin lips, and yellow eyes appearing, looking very exhausted. The glasses gave away the fact this is my sister's new regeneration. She looked at herself, then her hair.
"I.. have blue hair," she said in a slightly deeper voice.
"Yes... yes, you do," I said.
"Oh hey, it's Lucy!"
"Okay, so what world are we in now?" Anne asked, appearing from behind Emily. Seriously, why did my sister pick her evil twin as her assistant? That's like the doctor choosing a Delek as his assistant! Well, she's not evil anymore, but still. Anne stepped out with a flat screen device in her hands, pressing a few things on the screen with her index finger. She looked directly at Lucy, then sighed. "Who the heck is this?"
"Her name is Lucy. She has this weird crush on me," I replied.
"Typical."
"Who is this?" Lucy asked.
"Anne. She's Emily's evil twin, that's why she looks like her," I replied.
"Why is she with Emily, if she's evil?"
"She's not evil anymore. She got bored and just came along for the ride of exploration," my sister replied, brushing off her gray gown. "I like this outfit. So, where are we and why is Lucy here?"
"All of my friends turned to stone and I'm trying to find Medusa to turn everyone back to normal," Lucy replied.
"I'm out! Let me know when your saving the world gimmick is done!" Anne shouted, walking back to the TARDIS.
"I don't remember that happening," Emily stated, rubbing her chin.
"That's because you weren't here," I replied. Then, realized something. "Say, where were you when we met Lucy in the Enchanted Forest universe?" Emily came and whispered something in my ear, which made me chuckle. "Wow!"
"So anyways, how do we get through this portal?" Lucy wondered.
"To go through the portal you must-" the librarian said as we all jumped out of our skins, noticing the ghost librarian from before appearing behind us.
"YAH! How the heck did you get here!?" I asked frantically.
"To go through the portal, one must have a living spirit. A ghost spirit will do and, being that you two are time lords, you're already living, so you can instantly go through the portal. But, remember to stay true and pure-hearted."
"Uh-huh... um... thanks," I said. Okay, that was just creepy. How the heck did he appear like that!?
The three of us dove into the glowing green vortex, landing onto a green plain. The surroundings was nothing, but green. There was a dark green stoned floor, light green glowing walls, and a lighter green sky. We seemed to be in the middle of a very long hallway, which we walked across to get to Medusa, wherever she was.
Lucy's POV
My love, Emily and I were walking across the hallway, which looked very green and eerie. Then again, it isn't half as eerie as the Ghost Zone. I did notice that this place seemed... I don't know... odd. We walked down the hallway, making turns, then Emily seemed to notice something by the expression written on her face. She put her arm in front of us suddenly.
"Wait... this is a maze!" Emily said.
"It is?" Jared asked, looking around.
"I suppose the dead end is kind of a dead giveaway," I said, pointing to the end of the hall.
"Great, how do we find our way around this?"
"I can help you with that," the old ghost librarian, from before, said behind us. We all jumped and Jared yelped.
"How the heck did you get all the way here, you crazy old man!?" Jared asked, freaking out.
"Wow, and people say me watching Jared, while he sleeps, is creepy," I muttered before Emily and Jared slowly turned their heads and stared at me. Did I say that out loud? "So... how do we get out of this maze?"
"You must keep on with what you were doing with a leap of faith and a heart of strength and courage... following the map of the maze inside the book on page 133-134 works too," the librarian said as I turned the pages to 133 and 134 and saw the entire map of the maze. Wow, Jared really did his homework.
"How did you get the information on this?" I asked almost quickly. Even I wouldn't remember this entire map by heart!
"Alot of research, blood, sweat and stealing some information from one of her guards earlier in this timeline," Jared replied. Wow, he's so amazing!
"And you didn't say anything about this, why?" Emily asked.
"I forgot."
"Of course."
"Now, to find out which part of the map we're at," I said, trying to remember what turns we made to end up here, though my memory isn't very good.
"Well, this is fantastic! We're lost!" Jared complained.
"Wait, I think I know how to get out of here," I thought, looking directly at the librarian.
"Ah, I see where you're going with this," Jared smirked, seeing through my plan. I hope this works, if my theory is correct.
We waited next to the librarian for an hour or two before all of us instantly transported to the end of the maze. Jared just stood there with his jaw to the floor. I was kinda shocked too, but at least following the librarian got us out of that maze. I had a feeling this would work, since the librarian seems to appear at random places.
"H-How did... you..." Jared asked, pointing to the librarian ghost.
"Oh, I just appear whenever any of you need some sort of plot device. I usually appear here through that," the librarian replied, pointing to a huge wall that looked like a butt... okay.
"You mean we came right out of that wall's-"
"We better get going. Thanks for the help!" Emily thanked before we made our way to Medusa, and the librarian went back inside the butt wall.
We walked inside a green throne room with light green walls and roof. There was a throne with a giant frame that took up 20 floors... over-the-top much? Medusa, who was sitting on the throne with a black dress, using one of her snake hair locks as a phone. Wait, how can she do that?
"Hey Medusa, we're here to-" Jared shouted before...
"Uh hello, I'm talking to someone!" Medusa snapped in a snooty attitude. "Look, I just want my shoes here pronto and make sure they're extra slimy... no, I don't want the mud here until next month on Dirty Floors Month. Just get the dang shoes here, so my feet can be extra green and slimy!"
"HEY! WE'RE TALKING HERE! GET OFF WHOEVER YOU'RE TALKING TO!"
"Yeah, yeah, just get the shoes here NOW! I don't want them on Tuesday, I want them here now!"
"Oh my goodness! Will you stop with the shoes already!"
"Hey, could you hold on a minute? I've got some intruders trying to stop me. I'll get to you in just a second," Medusa said, then snapped her fingers and giant moving boulders and statues appeared. "Attack the annoying intruders that are interrupting me, while I'm on the phone." She flapped her hand, then walked on her way toward an opening that led to another room before getting back on her snake-haired telephone. "Now, about those shoes..." She snapped her fingers and the top part of the stoned wall covered the entrance.
"UGH! That stupid lady!" Jared complained as he took a sonic screwdriver and started blasting all the boulder monsters. Emily took out her millennium rod, smashing a couple of boulder men, before pressing two buttons on the right glass of her glasses, which were across from each other, then a laser blast shot from her glasses and destroyed three of the boulder minions.
I began running toward the stoned wall where Medusa was, fazing through it to get to her. While she was distracted talking on her snake-haired telephone, I grabbed a hold of her snake hair, swung her around and around, then threw her up against the wall. She hit herself on the back of her head and back, falling to the ground, then getting up with a glare shot right at me.
"HEY! I was having a conversation on the phone!" Medusa shouted, clutching onto her fists and her eyes glowing ruby red.
"You should've thought about that before turning my friends into statues!" I glared.
"Why would a ghost like you care about pathetic humans like them?"
"You mean besides my lifelong crush on one in particular? Well, maybe I'm not a genius, but why would I dislike them? Not every one one of us discriminates against living things!"
"Oh, so are you going to give me some dumb speech about how precious humans are to this world and society."
"No... I'm just going to kick your butt," I said, then flew right on top of Medusa, tackling her and grabbing onto her snake hair. At the same time, she also was punching me and trying to rip my clothes or hair. An audience suddenly appeared full of red necks with bags of popcorn and soda, whistling at us.
"AH YEAH! CHICK FIGHT!" One of the male audience shouted as everyone began cheering us on.
I was trying to ignore the red necks cheering us on as I was holding onto the snake hair and avoiding the punches. Of course, Medusa was able to slam me against the stoned wall, before I kicked her off with my two feet. My fists started glowing green before blasting them at this sick stone-making woman. She was thrown off by my ghost ray before I jumped on top of her, pinned her down, then tried smashing her face against the floor. She elbowed me and I fell back onto my bottom.
Time lord/future Jared's POV
It took us a while, but Emily and I finally got rid of those stupid stoned minions. We walked up to the wall where Medusa walked through, using her stoned powers apparently, and Lucy fazed through.
"Okay, now how are we going to get through here?" I wondered.
"I can tell you that," the creepy librarian ghost guy said as I jumped, then quickly turned to face him.
"Ugh, you gotta stop doing that!" I cried out. I took a deep breath. "So... how do we get through this wall that seems mystical and complicated, but somehow easy for us to figure out?"
"You could go through that entrance over there," the librarian replied, pointing to a doorway opening at the very end of the wall to the right. Oh... didn't see that.
"Oh... um thanks."
"Anytime!" the librarian replied, walking back to a wall that looked like a giant butt... I'm never going to get used to that.
"Alright then, onward!" I said as my sister and I began dashing through the opening and came to the room on the other side. I happen to see Lucy tackling Medusa and some crazy red necks cheering them on. Wait, where the heck did they come from!? "HEY, YOU GUYS GET OUT! THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE HERE!"
"But it's a chick fight!" One of the guys whined.
"YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS!"
Lucy grabbed onto Medusa by her hair and began banging her onto the wall several times before her hands slipped and some of the snake hair locks ripped from the monster's hair. What freaked me out was that the snake locks, that ripped off from Medusa's hair, instantly turned to stone.
"You... you ruined my hair! YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!" Medusa screeched, her eyes glowing red.
"Sorry, but I'm kinda low on cash," Lucy replied, using her ecto energy to shape into a baseball bat, then banging it over Medusa's head, knocking her unconscious.
"Aw, the fight's over?" One of the guys from the audience asked in disappointment.
"Yeah, now you guys get out!" I snapped before the audience disappeared suddenly.
"Now, we need to get her out, so everything can change back to normal," Lucy thought, reading through the book I wrote.
"Alright then, guess we'll need to go back through the maze... wonderful," I muttered sarcastically.
"Actually, I know a quicker way," Lucy said, pointing behind me as I turned and saw the creepy librarian, which made me jump again. How does this guy do that!?
"You gotta stop doing that!" I shouted before Lucy ran up and squeezed through the wall that looked like a butt. You've gotta be kidding me! Oh well, better than finding my way through the stupid maze again. I ran up and squeezed through the butt-wall, carrying Medusa over my shoulder.
Lucy's POV
As soon as we all arrived back to the surface of the world, the entire planet began showing daylight and the human/creature/plant stones changed back to living humans/creatures/plants. Medusa's curse was lifted and the world was saved. We did it! We saved this planet and my friends, though I can't help, but feel I'm forgetting something.
"Another day, another universe saved once more. Though, I feel something's missing," Jared said.
"Yeah, but I can't- oh no! My friends!" I cried out as I flew over to where I last saw my friends and unfazed them from the ground, the normal Jared gasping for air.
"What happened?" Jaylin wondered, rubbing the dirt from her hair.
"And why were we underground?" Prince Atem wondered.
"You all were turned to stone, but we lifted the curse!" I cried out happily.
"Wait, you mean you actually saved us... on your OWN!?" Normal Jared asked in surprise, freaking out.
"Yes and apparently there's some creepy librarian guy that keeps showing up in random places, coming out from a butt-wall," Future Time Lord Jared replied.
"Okay fine, you're... less annoying than you used to be," normal Jared said with hesitation. I knew he loved me! I glomped him excitedly. "And now you're annoying again!"
"Well, time for me to get back to my TARDIS!" Future Time Lord Jared declared, walking back to the library where he parked his TARDIS. The future time lord Emily went inside her tea pot TARDIS before a portal appeared and sucked all of us to another dimension.
