Talking about asking for help and getting none. Really? I ask for you guys to think where the next Temple should be and not one of you send me where you think it should be. It's sad really, I know some of you play the Shantae games and might have some ideas for it, but I barely get anything like that. However, I have downloaded Pirate's Curse on my switch and have been playing it, so I try using some of the areas from that game as well.
You know I've been checking out the site TV tropes and I really like it. Sometimes I look to see if I can find any of my stories on there, but no, not a single one is there. I don't mind if people put some of my stories on there.
One last thing, I went back and rewrote chapter nine a bit. I was fine with the beginning and Shantae remembering about Wreach. The scene I did change was Danny showing off his animal transformation to his parents. I hope it better DivineSpiritual. I also change the ending of the chapter as well but made sure it ends with Danny and Shantae noticing Ammo Baron and going after him. Now on with the chapter!
Danny woke up as the sunshine inside the room he was using. He was wondering how long he was going to stay in Scuttle Town. He was supposed to stay for a few days at most, but since Risky destroy their plane, they didn't have any way to get back home. Danny was a bit homesick, but Shantae made him felt like he fit in here. Shantae, that name means something to him. He still remembers what he thought about on the Ammo Baron ship. He felt that he and Shantae had a lot of things in common. From being halfas to having childhood friends. The biggest thing was, like Danny, Shantae felt alone at times.
Danny turns and notices the Ghost Medallion near his bed.
'When did I take that out?' Danny thought and grab it.
He looks around and notices the rest of his family had already awakened and must have not seen the medallion. Danny got dress and step outside. He looks around and saw the town folk doing what they do every day. He then spotted Sky and Bolo talking or actually Sky was yelling Bolo.
"That's was very stupid Bolo! You're lucky that he didn't try to hurt you!" Sky yelled.
"Well, it was a dream come true," Bolo said.
Sky just groan and Danny walks up to them.
"What has a dream come true?" He asked.
"Oh, Danny. Bolo here took a peek in the women's bathroom just to spy on girls again." Sky groan.
Danny sigh, he learns his lesson about that. Through he did it by going into the girl's locker room...wait did Sky say bathroom?!
"Wait, the women bathroom?" Danny asked shock.
Sky nodded and Danny turns to Bolo before looking back at Sky.
"Who did he spy on?" Danny asked.
"Your sister." Sky answer.
"WHAT?!" Danny shouted before turning to Bolo upset.
"And let me guess, my dad, found you and gave you a warning." He asked.
Bolo didn't say anything and Danny notices he had a dreamy look on his face. Growling, Danny walk up and smack Bolo on the back of the head, hard!
"OW!" Bolo said rubbing the back of his head.
"I don't know what my dad told you, but listen up. If I so much hear you do something like this again, I don't care if you Shantae's friend, I will beat you until you learn your lesson! And you know about my powers, so I can really hurt you. What my dad told you will seem like child play when I'm done!" Danny said angrily.
Bolo back up a bit when Danny's eyes turn green for a second. Bolo had a strong feeling that Danny was telling the truth about his threat and made a promise not to spy on his sister again to himself.
Danny took a breath and look at Sky who was a bit shock by Danny's anger.
"So Sky, where's Shantae?" He asked.
"Last I seen, she was helping Mimic looking for another one of those temples for the medallions. I think your parents are there too." Sky answered.
"Thanks," Danny said smiling.
Before he could head off Sky grabs his arm making him turn to her. Sky then leads close to Danny's face and puts on a flirting look.
"You know Danny, you been hanging around Shantae for some time, why not spend time with me?" She asked.
"Huh, sorry Sky but I have something I need to do and I need to find Shantae. Maybe another time?" Danny said blushing.
Danny wasn't sure, but it appears Sky was not just trying to hang out with him, but he recalls what Sky said yesterday when he answers Bolo's question about him reacting towards the girls calling him cute. If Sky was going to try that with him, he was not ready. Not mention he already engaged, twice! Sky pouted and let him go.
"Great, I thought I finally found someone." She said.
"Sorry Sky, but I'm engaged to Giga and now a mate to Selena. I don't want any more girls to try to marry me. I'm only 14." Danny said.
"Wait, 14? That means your younger than us!" Bolo said surprise.
"Really? You look as old as us." Sky asked.
"Well, some people say that sometimes someone looks older or younger than they really are. But I'm really 14, way too young to be engaged or a mate." Danny said.
"And yet you got a mermaid and a naga to like you." Bolo pointed out.
"Giga was a surprise. Luckily, she understands I'm too young and it fine if we don't get together, but Selena? Oh boy, it going to take a long time before I can get her to understand. I mean I turn down Twitch and Vinegar yesterday." Danny said.
"I still wonder why you like Rotty. I mean she a zombie, she nothing but trouble." Sky said upset.
"Sky you are being unfair. Shantae is Rotty's first friend. Come on, you heard how the other zombies don't even like being around her and her brothers." Bolo remind her.
"I know, but Rotty betrays Shantae's friendship. That's not something to overlook." Sky told him.
"What do you mean?" Danny asked.
"Do you remember Risky Boots?" Sky asked Danny who nodded.
"Risky trick Rotty and her brothers into kidnapping Mimic. All because Risky promise them coffee and Shantae's brain." Sky said.
Danny was a bit shock at that. But from the way Shantae and Rotty act, it looks like Shantae had forgiven her. Before he could speak about that Sky continues.
"Rotty is nothing but a zombie and zombies are nothing but trouble." She said.
"You sound like my parents," Danny said getting Sky to look at him.
"From the way you talk about Rotty and other zombies is the same way my folks and people from my home talk about ghosts. Thinking they are nothing but trouble, like every zombie you meet is bad, even the good ones. I'll admit it was a bit shocking to hear that Rotty has betrayed Shantae but from what I have seen, Rotty is trying to repair it and is doing a good job. If Shantae forgives her and is repairing her friendship with her then I don't have to worry about that. Plus, now that Rotty knows she can't trust Risky, she wouldn't betray Shantae's trust ever again. Just because you don't like her Sky, doesn't mean you have to be mean to her." Danny told her.
Sky looks surprised to hear how Danny defends Rotty. Now that thinks about she recalls how Danny parent talks about how ghosts are dangerous and not be trusted. Even talking about how his ghost form is just as dangerous, with Shantae defending him about how he help stop Risky and was holding back his full power. Since there was a ghost that visits Sequin Land in the past and wasn't here to cause trouble, Sky had to admit that she was being unfair, but what Rotty did something to Shantae was something that was going to take a long time for her to forgive.
"Sky, you have seen how much Rotty is trying to make up for it. Remember when we went in her mind to free her from the dark magic and we notice that Rotty was trying to help Shantae even though she didn't like us?" Bolo pointed out.
"Sky, I don't see Rotty as something that I should hate because of what she is. True, if she betrays my trust I'll be mad at her, but from what I have seen Rotty feels bad about it and it looks as if the two had let the bygones be bygones." Danny added.
Sky didn't say anything before Danny place a hand on her shoulder.
"Sky you don't have to like or forgive Rotty right now, but you should at least see she trying to make up for her mistake. If you keep letting this get to you, then you might do something that will break Shantae's trust with you." He said.
Sky's eyes widen as she never thought about that. Most of the time she has been trying to conceive Shantae that Rotty isn't someone she could trustfully. But going so far as doing something that betrays Shantae's trust and their friendship? She would never want that.
"See? My friends had been against some of the things I did and the same thing if they did something I'm against. We fight, we hurt each other feelings, then we made up and let it be a thing in the past." Danny smile.
"Wow, Danny. That's really nice of you."
Everyone turns and saw Rotty walk up to them.
"Rotty? How much did you hear?" Danny asked surprise.
"The whole thing. And you are right. I learn my lesson and I not going to betray Shantae ever again." She said feeling sad.
"Hey, cheer up. You look prettier when you smile." Danny said before caught what he just said.
"You know, for a pretty zombie, I mean girl, I mean a zombie girl, I mean..." He shutters.
Rotty, Sky, and Bolo all laugh at Danny getting tongue-tied. Danny notices and pouted. It's not his fault he can't talk to girls with ease like most guys can. Most of the time they just ignore him.
"What everyone laughing about?"
Danny turns and saw Shantae walk up to them. Danny sigh and decided to change the subject for now.
"Hey Shantae, how the search for the next temple coming?" Danny asked.
"I think Uncle Mimic found the next one. But it not on Sequin Land, it one of the islands that the Ghost and the Genie visit during their time together." Shantae explains.
"Which island is that?" Bolo asked.
"Not sure, but I was looking for Danny so he can be ready to head out as well." Shantae answer.
"Wow, I get to leave the island? Well, I guess if we must. Should I be in my ghost form?" Danny said then asked.
"I think that be wise. I told Uncle Mimic I was going to find him." Shantae said.
"Okay, first I better hide somewhere, too much open space for people to see me," Danny said looking around.
"How about you hide in my lighthouse? Everyone knows that I have been trying out new magic and I can pass it off as me trying something new." Shantae whisper so no one could hear them.
"If you are sure," Danny said before following Shantae towards her lighthouse.
"Ah, that's sweet. Shantae is inviting Danny to her lighthouse. I'm so proud of her." Rotty smile.
"It just for Danny to hide for now. I still think he should tell his parents about his powers." Sky said.
"Maybe, but don't they look cute together?" Rotty said.
"Rotty, their friends," Bolo said cluelessly.
"Fine, whatever. I hope they do get together. Talk about a couple of the century." Rotty said.
"Couple? Rotty if even if they do get together, Danny already been taken, twice." Sky said.
"So? From what I heard, the Queen of the Mermaids understands that Danny is too young and the naga is his mate even if Danny likes Shantae. I just don't her to be alone that all." Rotty explains then grew worried.
"Your right. But how can they? Danny is not from Sequin Land, it will be hard for them to even be in a relationship." Sky said.
"I'm sure they'll figure it out. Plus it is great to have two brains to eat now!" Rotty smiles.
"ROTTY!" Sky shouted as Rotty laugh.
After hiding Danny in her lighthouse so he could turn into his ghost form, they both headed to Mimic's Workshop and Danny didn't see his parents with him this time.
"Hy, Uncle Mimic. I found Phantom." Shantae said making him lookup.
"Ah! Nice to see you again Danny." He said shocking his hand.
"Um, sure?" Danny asked.
Shantae just shrugs as Mimic returns to the book and map. Shantae then walks up and tries to see what he was doing.
"Do you mind?" He asked her making her take a step back.
"UM, Mimic? Were you supposed to be finding the next temple?" Danny asked.
"Oh, I already did." He said.
"What?! Then why did you sure anything?" Shantae asked.
"Huh? Oh right. Got a little busy with one of my new ideas from the Fentons." He said.
"Ideas? From the Fentons?" Shantae asked.
"It's not any ghost weapons that can harm me is it?" Danny asked.
"Oh no, but some of the ideas that Jack and Maddie share with me are very interesting to say at least." Mimic said.
"Okay? Anyways, where is the next temple?" Shantae asked.
"Oh, it on Saliva Island." Mimic told them.
"Saliva Island?" Danny asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I've been there before. It also where I met Twitch and Vinegar for the first time." Shantae said remembering that they bathe in real saliva to open a Labyrinth for her.
"Well, I can fly us there," Danny said.
"How about we go by boat inside? We better save your powers for when we need it." Shantae told him.
"Hm...sound like a plan," Danny said thinking about it.
"Good! I get to be a pirate again!" Shantae smiles.
"Again?" Danny asked.
"Long story, me shipmate!" Shantae said with some pirate talk.
Danny blinks before playing along.
"Very well Captain Shantae! When do we shove off?" Danny asked.
"Let's find us a ship worthy boat before we do!" Shante said.
"Aye, aye, Captain!" Danny said and the two just giggles/chuckles.
Mimic roll his eyes as the two left. He smiles as he knew that Shantae was growling close to Danny. He opens the book to the last page and reread the messages that the Ghost and Genie left behind.
Okay, It's been 9 months since I last updating this. I wanted to say I'm really sorry for taking so long. I might work this a bit more since I having trouble with some of my other stories. It's either, I don't feel like working on them or I can't think on how to start the next chapter. So the next chapter, if I get to it, will have Danny and Shantae sail to Sailva Island to find the next temple. And to remind anyone that read chapter Nine, I did a rewrite for it because I didn't like how I had it.
