Magical Alien Summer Ep 21: Ghoulies and Ghostfreaks Part 2: An unexpected potion alliance
The Trio walked up a set of stairs as some noises reached their ears. "Hey, did you guys hear that?" "Yeah, it sounds like… voices." Sunset replies as Fluttershy spoke out. "I think there coming from further up." They continued as they made it into a kitchen. only to find a bunch of Imps with wings and colored red with fire around flying around the place. They noticed an adult that is dressed like a chief and has brown skin with curly short hair, fending them off with a frying pan. "BACK! BACK YOU LITTLE BEASTIES!"
"That woman is in danger!" "I could use Overflow, but the watch is still charging!" Dan exclaims as his watch glows red. Sunset exclaims. "We got no choice! We're just going to have to go in there!" They all rushed as the woman smiles at reinforcements. "Thank goodness you're here, young' uns! These pesky Fire Imps are running my Kitchen!" The woman took out gave a fire extinguisher to the boy. "See if you can use this to cool them off!"
"Thanks! It may not be Overflow, but it'll do!" The kid grins as the girls stays in one place as Dan sprays the foam on the fire monsters, make them poof out of green smoke at every flame he puts out. Soon, all the imps were gone. "Nice job, Dan!" Sunset thanks as Fluttershy nods, making the boy smirks as he twirls the weapon. "That's right! No Ghoulie is a match for—" CLANG The boy's eyes widened as the pupils shrinks, making him silent for 3 sec…. "AAHHHHHHHHHH!" The boy screams as he hops around, holding his foot in pain as the females grimaced.
"That's got to hurt." Sunset comments as Dan got the pain and soreness out. "Okay… not one of my smart moves." He comments as he limps to the others. "Anyway, thanks for your help, Young' un! Let me introduce myself: Ma Soupwell's the name. An' cooking is me game!" "Hello, Miss Soupwell! It's so nice to meet you! I would shake, but I'm kind of wrapped up in the moment." Fluttershy spoke as she gesture to her bounds. "Now, that's no trouble at all!"
"I'm Fluttershy. And this is Dan and Sunset." The kid waves while Sunset shyly greets. "Nice to meet you all. Oh, my!" The cook exclaims as she examines Sunset. "What has happened to this poor lady?!" "It was Dr. Animo! He turned Sunset into a Monster-human hybrid!" Dan exclaims as the teen adds in. "It's true." "Oh, dear! I knew that man can't be trusted at all!" The adult smiles and tilts Sunset's chin up with a motherly smile. "Now, don't worry, miss Sunset! My Special potion is just the thing to cure!" "Wait, What?! You have a cure for Sunset!?" "Why, yes! I kept it in secret, in case that mad man tries to find and destroy it!"
Fluttershy exclaims with a smile. "That's wonderful! Can you make it?" The woman sighs out in response. "But, alas, I'm out of the 3 ingredients for it. There are some spread throughout the house! But I don't know how we can get them?" Dan smirks as he volunteers. "I'll do it! I'll get the ingredients!" "But… Young' un! It's dangerous!" Dan reassure the woman with a grin. "Don't worry! I handled Animo before! So where's number 1?" The woman was still unsure until Sunset and Fluttershy gave her a smile, nodding as she sighs out.
"The 1st is Glow Worms. Glow Worms are used to ta light the lantern 0' the old Lighthouse. Let me mark on yer map where yer can find it." Dan unfolds the paper from his jacket and gives to the woman, who circles a room in a lighthouse in the backyard, that overlooks a lake. He puts the paper back in as Ma points around a corner near a vine covered door. "You can start by heading through the door to the Scullery. It's around this corner! I'll stay with these 2 and keep them company."
"Good luck, Dan!" Fluttershy said as Sunset askes. "And be careful." The boy stops before heading around the corner. "I don't need to be careful! I'm me!" He jogs through the door as the teens smiles at each other. "We know."
As the boy made it through the Scullery and into another section of the Lower corridors, he notices music from a room. "Music? But where?" He walks down the hall to another door and went inside, walking up the step to a pair of curtains, opening them to see a ballroom. But he was surprised to see a bunch of skeletons and zombies, dancing away as a Mummy acts as the DJ. "Well…. This is definitely on the list of 'strangest things ever'." He comments. He notices the Omnitrix was charged, making him smirks as he closes the curtains with a flash of green light appearing behind them.
Dan starts melting down as his became a mess of green goo, laying around until a UFO device hover above, making him stand up and posed as the morphing was done.
Goop moves through the drapes as he looks at himself. "Goop! Nice choice, Omnitrix!" He flies above the Ghoulies, all the way to the DJ stand and grab the mummy in a slime web, rearing back a fist and launching it at the mummy, sending it flying at the Zombies and Skeletons. "You fella play nice." He then made his way through the open door.
He steps into the Conservatory, hiding in some plants in puddle form to see a Black Imp wearing and orange Gi with an eye mask that is mediating. "Ninja imps? That's Animo: subtle as a flying mallet." He comments and notices Rainbow Dash, tied to a giant plant by vines that pins her arms to her sides and legs as she struggles to break free.
He sneaks next to her and whispers. "Pssttt…. Dash." The athlete looks up and searches around, seeing Goop's projector and eyes, hiding behind her. "Dan!" He quickly shushes her as he hides. Rainbow turns and saw the Imp peeking at her and then went back to meditation, making her breathe in relief.
"Sorry. Anyway, I'm glad to see you." "Me too! I've been all over this crazy house, searching for you girls! I ran into Rarity in the Cinema. Fluttershy in the Relic store. Sunset in the Gaming room. And you here." "Yeah, what is up with these monsters?! Rouge Equestria magic!?" "No! It's Animo." "DR. ANIMO?!" Rainbow quickly gasps as she glances at the imp, who got up and made her way over to the girl, glaring at her as it leaps up. Only for a slimy fist to punch it through the ceiling and sent flying away, out of nowhere. The alien and girl looks up as he slithers out and morphs back to humanoid form. "Whoa! Nice shot, dude!" "Thanks! But did you had to yell so loud?! I don't think they heard you back in Canterlot."
Rainbow apologizes in response. "Sorry. Got surprised for a sec. But seriously, Dr. Animo is here?! But I thought he was in prison!" "Well… he got out with the help of a 'friend'." Rainbow got worried as she wonders who would help a madman like Animo. "Anyway, I'm trying to get to the Lighthouse to pick up Glowworms." "Why do you need them?" BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH
"It's a long story. Well… more like a medium one." The boy then explains how he found Sunset and Fluttershy and what has happened to the teen as Rainbow was shocked. "WHAT?! HE DID THAT TO SUNSET!? GRRRRR….. When I get my hands on that weasel, I'm going to knock his teeth out!" She growls out in anger.
"Which is why I need Glow Worms to cure her! And since you're magically bounded to that vine, I'm going to have leave you back for now." Rainbow glances at the padlock in sadness and sighs out. "I hate getting benched, but you make a point. Head through that door! It will lead to the backyard!" She glances at an open door. "Thanks!" The boy jogs to the doorway. "Oh, Dan!" The boy looks back at the teen. "If you see Animo, give him a knuckle sandwich for me!" "Don't worry! I'm giving him a double order!" They both share smirks as the boy went outside into the rain, throwing his hood up.
The kid dashed through the pouring night air, heading to a creepy boathouse as bats flew out of the roof while thunder crackles through the skies. The alien watch welder screeches to a stop in front of the door. "Okay… this it: The Boathouse! You can do this." He slowly reaches for the handle, only for it open on it's own. A giant figure with a pair of beady eyes appeared in the shadows.
Dan was frozen stiffed for reasons: He couldn't go alien because the Omnitrix is charging. His legs seemed glued to the ground and it feel like the thing would attacked him as soon as he made a slight move. But as the figure steps forward, he held his breath to reveal… an adult male with a green vest, white shirt, brown gloves, a cap on his head, blue pants with brown boots. The male is large in height and weight and has a orange breaded. The man smiles as Dan sighs in relief at seeing another human.
"Mow my Meadow! You gave me a fright, young 'un! I were busy adjusting my tackle in the Boathouse. I be ol' Fiddlesworth, the groundskeeper!" The man introduces as the boy smiles back. "I'm Dan! Nice to meet you, I guess… Listen! I need to go somewhere." The burly man looks over the kid and got an uneasy expression. "Not through the Boathouse and out towards the ol' Lighthouse, I 'ope?" Dan was surprised by the answer and responds. "Yes. Yes! I need to get in there to pick up Glow Worms for Ma Soupwell!"
"I'm afraid that's not possible! Grand place that, 'til it were overrun by the undead!" Dan widens his eyes at the mention of Zombies. The man smiles and pulls out a large water piston, making the boy awed as he holds the weapon in both hands. "A water gun? How is this helpful?" "Best take this with yer. It be full o' sacred water that them 'orrors don't like." The boy looks at the liquid inside, grinning at his new anti-Zombie weapon.
"Bring it back mind, 'cos it belongs t'me nephew, Little Willy!" "Thanks, Mr. Fiddlesworth!" The man smiles and moves out of the way as the boy took a deep breath, clutching the water gun in both hands as he steps into the Boathouse, ready to take on the monsters with his new weapon.
The child steps inside the building, spotting a couple of zombies that did not noticed him. He decides to test his new gun, aiming and pulling the trigger to release a stream of water at one. The water splashes the being as green smoke released from the hit as the Zombie panic in pain. The being then turns all grey and collapses, disappearing like the others. "Awesome! It works!" He quickly took care of the other one and hustles to the door, only for to start a challenge as a Zombie head icon appears above. "But… I took care of them all."
CRASH He turns around to see 2 Imps, skeletons and Zombies popped out of the stuff in the center. "Of course." He groans out as He quickly sprays another zombie to smoke. But he was shocked that the water didn't work on the skeletons! "What?! But… aren't skeletons zombies too?"
The boy didn't had time to think as he quickly block a bony punch with his weapon as he quickly kicks off the 2 Imps. He swung his gun in an arc, knocking the bones away as they lay on the floor. "WHOA! I can use it as a melee weapon!" Just then, he saw the 2nd Zombie approached him with his arms raised. The boy quickly soaks him to smoke, completing the challenge.
The skeletons tries to attack him again, but were whacked to pieces. The boy runs through the door and crosses a bridge to the Lighthouse. The boy glances up at the creepy tower and steels himself. "I'm going in!" He walks through the door and into the Store.
The door slammed with vines covering it as the other one turns into a challenge one. Dan saw a key above it while a Zombie guards it. Glancing around, he kicks open some crates with the weird symbol, finding the key on the 3rd try. The boy jogs up some stares onto the walkway, taking care of the Zombie. He made it into the Living quarters and saw 2 Zombies, playing cards.
Before the boy could do anything, one Zombie angry moans at another and drops his cards, stumbling over to slaps the other, making the 2nd undead being slap back. They both engage in a slap fight as the kid watches with a raised eyebrow. "Oh, this getting old, really fast. Even if it a bit funny." He quickly sprays the both of them down.
The boy then walks forward and encountered an Haunted TV, quickly spraying it with a look of longing. "It's always sad to destroy a perfectly good TV. 'SIGH'" He walks to the door, only to be stopped by a Zombie pirate. "…Okay. That whacko seriously need to be in an asylum! " He soaks the Undead pirate to oblivion and continues on.
As the kid hero steps through the door, he went up a set of small stairs saw to be in the Lantern room. He looks out the windows to see the Boathouse and the mansion in the rain. "Whoa! Talk about a view!" He glances behind to see 2 jars of the item he's searching for. "GLOWWORMS!" He exclaims with a smile. He grabs one and unzips his jacket, placing it in and zips it back up. "I may not know how my jacket does it, but I'm glad Pinkie helped with it!"
He rushes down the stairs and back into the Living Quarters, only for his path to blocked by a challenge, telling him to destroy 10 Zombies. He glances back to see a couple of Zombies burst out of a few things while a new Haunted TV zaps more into place. "It's hero time!" He starts spraying undead being after another, adding in the TV as well. But before he could get the last one, his weapon won't fire. "What the!?"
He looks at his weapon, notching the containers are almost, but the sacred water is also slowly regenerating as well. "WHOA! I nearly wasted my ammo!" He saw the last Zombie Lumbering toward him, making him quickly swings it in panic and sending the Zombie crashing the table. It disappeared as the door opens. "Whew! That was close" He wipes the sweat from his forehead in relief. He quickly head back to the Store to ran into the groundskeeper. The man smiles with a jolly expression.
"Crunch my Carrots! You showed them undead beasties a thing or 2, young master! You won't be needing that water squirter no more, so I'll 'ave it off yer. Little Willy 'll be wantin' t' play with it, see" "Thanks for letting me use it! Sorry about nearly wasted the Ammo." The boy sheepish adds in as he hands the weapon over as the burly man waves it off. He gave the boy a brown satchel and spoke as he leaves the Store. "You run back to ma, now. I be off t'the Farmyard! I hear there be a pest on the loose that need exterminating!" He explains as the boy follows him out and they made it through the Boathouse.
The boy waves off to the man as he moves the Glowworms into the bag. "One down! 2 more to go!" He exclaims with a grin. He then heads back to the Conservatory, only to find it blocked. "Great! Now I need to find another way back in!" He decides to check the sides of the area and saw an open door. "BINGO!" He rushes to it and closes the door behind him, catching his breath as he takes his hood down as he drips from the rain.
"Okay… now to rest for a bit. I can't believe I actually took on an entire lighthouse of zombies and won! Without using any aliens!" He spoke to himself. He then heard burping, making him confused as he slowly walks down the hall and pokes his head around the corner to see a large Dining room with tons of food.
He then noticed 4 zombie Pirates, burping as they fest with a captain on the head table as 3 skeletons holds more food. But as he looks around, he saw Pinkie Pie, tied up with an apple gagging her mouth on a long platter near the other door. The girl struggles as she moans, really worried about becoming the main course.
"Whoa! It's a Zombie Pirate fest! And Pinkie is going to be the main course! Not on Humungousaur's watch." He sets the satchel down by the wall and dials the watch, twisting it to the dinosaur's icon. FLASH
Dan pumps his arms as they got all hairy and muscular. He spins around while bending over while getting furry all over as his clothes morphed. He raised his dog-like head and roars out, posing with a grin.
Tear-wolf blinks in surprise as he looks at himself. "Or… Tear-wolf. He's just as good! I think." He saw a nearby vase and grabs it. He stomps out to the room as he chucks the object at a pirate, smacking the undead being silly as the room turns to him. "MMMPPPHHH!" Pinkie cries as she bends her head up. "Mind if I crash this party?!" He grins out as the captain orders the crew member to attack.
The Undead being quickly went to him, only be met quickly with super strong punches from the dog alien. He uppercuts the thing into green smoke as the captain orders the rest to attack, making the door closed with a challenge. Tear-wolf growls as he charged, knocking the undead beings away with his fists.
As He destroyed 2 of them, the last one hollers, making 6 more pirates crashed through the windows. "All right! Time to get serious." He picks up and chucks a nearby table at the group, eliminating 5 of them. He made his iron hands and smashed the last 2 into dust. He then glares at the captain, who grabbed his sword and went after him. He charges with his blade, only for Tear-wolf to make his shield arms in front and blocks it, stunning the undead being. The pirate recovered and swung his blade, making the alien back as he kept blocking the strikes.
He then made his steel teeth and catches the blade, biting it into bits as he knocks the Zombie down. "GRRRR!" He grabs his legs and starts twirling around, getting faster as he spins like a top. He then hammer tosses the Captain into the head table, sending food flying as the being disappeared. The door opens, but the alien hero wasn't done yet.
The bone ghoulies went to attack him, But Tear-wolf leaps forwards in a burst of speed, grabbing all 3 small heads in one hand and tossing them into a Grandfather clock, smashing them to bits. "And that's why my bite is bigger than my bark!"
He then rushes over and sits the girl up, taking the apple off. "Hey, Pinkie! Got anything to say? And please don't say oatmeal." The girl merely blinks and got a flirty look as she flutters her eyes. "My hero!" She then kiss the dog on the nose, widening his eyes. "…. Okay. Don't do that again." He deadpans with annoyance. Pinkie giggles like a loon.
"I know, silly Billy! I'm just messing with you! You need a smile on that frown face, so badly!" Tear-wolf shakes his head in amusement. "I see being kidnapped by an army of mutant monsters didn't change you personality, Pinkie." "You know me! Always trying to put a smile on everyone! Except those meanie monsters! Those horrible Pirates were planning of having me for the main dish! Can you believe that!? And they weren't the fun type of pirates at all!" She pouts in annoyance.
"Yeah. I noticed." But just then, a scent caught his nose, making him turn and sniff to see some chicken legs and ham on a table. As he stares at the food, something inside him is surfacing, as if the food was all he could think about. Pinkie looks back and forth between the 2. "Dan? Why are you staring at the food?" "MEAT!" He cries out as he runs on all fours with his tongue sticking out.
Pinkie watches in wide eye surprise as the boy-turned-alien tears into the food as if he was really a dog. "Wow… And Rainbow said I go nuts with chocolate involved. He's going wild on that meat." The teen party planner hops over, with her arms and legs still bounded. "Uh… Dan? Dan. Dan! DAN!" She cries out as the alien briefly stops and glances back. "We can't stay here and eat away! As much I want to too. We need to find the others! Our friends are still in trouble." The girl pleas as Dan widens his eyes in realization, shaking his head as a piece of meat flings off his mouth.
"Sorry, Pinkie. I…. didn't know what got into me. Guess Tear-wolf can't fight well if meat is around." He sheepish said as he picks the girl up, bridal style. He then went back to the hall and grabs the satchel. "Yes! Still here! Pinkie! I need you to promise to help carry this bag!" "Cross my heart and hope to fly! Stick a cupcake in my eye!" She grins as she nods.
The alien places the bag on the girl's lap and the sash on her shoulder. The teen then wiggles her hands to grab a hold of it as best as she could. The 2 then heads off through the door and back into the Ballroom. Tear-wolf briefly stops and notices the monster from before, making him grin as he sets the bag and girl down and went to take care of them. A few mins of beatdowns later, they got back on track as they went back into the Lower corridors .
The duo then heads back to the Scullery, only to be blocked off by 2 Zombies. "Excuse me for a sec." The alien wolf said as he sets Pinkie down, standing up. He shoulder charges and knocks the undead monsters down with his iron pad. He grabs there legs and starts slamming them on the ground, smashing them around the area as Pinkie watches with grimace. "Ohh…. That's painful!" The alien tosses them into a pile of dishes, making them defeated. "Let's keep going." He said as he grabs the girl and heads back into the Kitchen.
"AAHHH! WOLF MONSTER!" Ma cries in terror as Fluttershy assures. "No! Wait! It's okay! That's Dan! He can turn into aliens. It's okay." The woman turns back from the mummified girl to the grinning humanoid-dog beast. "You make it sound like a regular thing, Young'uns." "It's okay, Ma. I'm expert at this!" "It's true! He totally kicked Zombie pirate butt at the Dining room! Which I was founded in, BTW!" Pinkie grins out as Sunset appears behind the giant caldron as both friends grin. "PINKIE!"
Ma smiles as well at the new girl ."Wonderful! You found a friend!" "Make that friends! I saw Rainbow back at the Conservatory! But she was tied to a plant with some vines, so I can't bring her as well." "It's okay, Dan. At least we located her." Pinkie gasp in shock now that she notices Sunset's condition. "SUNSET!? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!" "'SIGH' It's a long story." Remembering why he came back, the wolf being sets Pinkie down by Fluttershy and grabs the bag, bringing out the jar. "As ordered: One jar of Glowworms!"
"Wonderful work, Dan!" "Nice job, dude!" Both girls congregates as Pinkie was confused. "Excellent work, Young'un! I'll put 'em in the pot t'shimmer while yer get searching for the next ingredient… a Giant Egg! Yer can try searchin' the Chicken Shed, out at the old farm. Let me show yer on your map where it is!" The alien felt something on the inside of his armored vest, squeezing a hand inside to pull out the paper. "I guess Pinkie is rubbing off on me, more than I thought." He comments as the Party planner giggles with a grin as the other girls smiles as well
The chef unfolds the map and circles an area on it as Tear-wolf looks at it. "Okay… If I take the Freezer, cut through the Garbage yard, pass through the woodshed. Then I'll end up at the Farmyard. Speaking of, I did run into the groundkeeper, Fiddlesworth at Boathouse! And he did say he's going there to take care of something." He points out as he times out, stuffing the map into his jacket. "Maybe he can help me."
"Wonderful, Young'un! I wish you luck again!" Ma said as the boy went to the direction of the finger, coming across a door with ice around it. Pinkie took a deep breath and…. "DON'T FORGET TO WRITE!" She yells out as the other females herd ringing in there eardrums. "Okay?" The boy questions with an odd look as he continues on.
The kids jogs through the Freezer and into the Garbage Yard. "PHEW I don't what's worst: The stench of garbage or the cold of the Freezer?" He complains as his hood and cap keeps is head dry from the rain. The boy makes his way out of the garbage yards through a big gate and jogs into the Woodshed, drying off. "Okay…" He pulls out the map as it magical changes to a detailed version of the shed. "I just need to go in this direction, and I'll be at the Farmyard." He tucks it away and starts running through the massive piles of wood.
Luckily, he had a few weapons on hand to take care of a few spiders and a new type of Imp that is brown skinned with large wings with green membranes. He made it to the other side and into the Farmyard, glancing around the area as water pours from the skies.
But just then, he saw Fiddlesworth, struggling with a fast Imp that is wearing a sailor outfit for some reason. Dan looks at the Omnitrix and grins that it's ready to go! "Just a little cooperation for once.." FLASH
The watch sinks into his arm as veins protrude out of his arm, traveling up to his eye as he shuts it before it shot open, making it all green with black markings around it. A tail shot out of the base of his spine as black spines ripped from the back of his shirt. He then grew bigger and buffer as black fingerless gloves with green cuffs forms on his growing hands. He spun around before facing the 4th wall. He then roars out as he pumps his arms while slamming his tail on the ground, posing as the transformation is complete.
"Now this is more like it!" The dino alien grins out as he rushes to the rescue. Humungousaur slams his tail on the earth, smacking a shockwave that sent the Imp flying as the man was surprised by the alien's appearance. "OH, YEAH!" Just then, a Zombie Pirate smashes out of a Stable window as 2 Ninja Imps, Zombies, Skeletons, Flying Imps pops out of other areas as well. "Now it's time for the main event!" On cue, the Chicken shed door has a challenge as the dino grins.
The alien smacks his tail on the Imps, smashing them into dust as he grabs the Zombie pirate and punches it into a wagon. He grabs the Zombies and smashed them together, tossing them into the Flying Imps as they were all gone. He saw the Skeletons were trying to make a run for it, but it was futile as he charges on all 4s and cloths line them both. "Done and done!" He stands and dusts his hands off as the door opens.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH Dan walks up to Mr. FIddlesworth as he grins at the boy who saved him. "Peel my Potatoes! Yer've certainly got some surprises in yer, Young 'un! Thanks for helping me out!" "Not a problem! Anyway, I need to get into the Chicken shed for ingredient number 2!" The boy declares as he points at the hut, making the man surprised at the declaration.
"You sure? Beware, lad, they ain't no normal chickens in there. But I've got that maybe yer can use on 'em." From within his large green vest, Fiddlesworth withdraws a small pistol that looks like it swallowed a musket. Dan stares at the weapon in surprise. "This be Ol' Edna!" Fiddlesworth says, rapping his fingers across the mouth of the firearm. "Giant cloves of me most pungent and an' potent garlic she be shootin'. Jus' what yer be needin' in there!".
Dan wasn't sure what to make of it as he handles the gun. "A bit dubious lookin' an' well-used she may be, but what she be lackin' in looks, she more than makes up fer in 'er performance." "Okay…. I would have gone for a PLUMBER rifle, but beggars can't be choosers." He shrugs as he marches into the shed. "Take good care of 'er lad. Me an' Edna 'ave 'ad some ripe 'ol times t'gether!" Fiddlesworth watches on as Dan is engulfed by the darkness…
Dan cautiously steps further inside the shed, surprised that it was bigger on the inside. He saw a lot of wagons, hay bales, a giant pile of Chicken feed and small living areas for the birds. He noticed a few brown chickens, not even noticing the boy. "Man! This place keeps getting wackier and wackier. No wonder Animo loves it here!" He comments.
He then saw a giant egg that is blue with pink spots on the bottom on a lone nest. "And there's the Giant Egg! Bingo!" He realizes that stuff was blocking his way and decides to go around them. He jogs through hay bale railings and keeps getting closer to the egg. But as he reached it, he was stopped by a red feathered chicken with green eyes and fangs. "A vampire chicken? Classic, Dr. Animo." He rolls his eyes as the mutant bird flies up and charges at the boy. He quickly aims and pulls the trigger, firing a clover that exploded on contact, sending the feathered mutant crashing and slumping against a wall as it fades away.
"HEY! This thing works!" The boy quickly went to the egg, putting it into his satchel as he grunts. "Man! This thing is heavy!" He gets the bag on and runs to the door, trying to with a heavy weight in his bag. "I hope this strap can hold." He comments. But as he made pass the 3rd pen area, alarms rang throughout the place, making kid glanced up to see red lights flashing on the walls. "I'm guessing that egg was booby-trapped!"
The boy hi-tails it as best as he could as more Vampire Chickens burst out of them pens while the normal ones transformed. The boy runs and guns his way through the clucking horde as he nears the door. He quickly turns back and fries a lot of Garlic at a group, blasting them back as he walks backwards. He made it through as the door slammed shut, making the kid sighed in relief as he stands briefly in the rain.
He turns back and greets Fiddlesworth with a grin. "I got it!" "Trample my turnips! That be a big 'un young master! I guess you won' need Ol' Edna fer the time bein'." The boy nods as he hands the gun back to the man. "I'll take 'er off yer 'ands 'an give 'er a good wipe with me rag." The kid adjusted his satchel with the egg in it.
But unbeknownst to them, a figure is lurking in the bushes, spying the bag. He then leaps out of the bushes, revealing a short skeleton with a full set of teeth, white eyes instead of green, and his wearing brown boots, a red neckerchief and a cook hat. He rush to them in a surprising burst of speed as the 2 noticed. ZOOM
"What was that?" The boy exclaims, only to feel lighter for some reason. The adult was surprised as he points at the boy, making the kid realized his bag was gone. They both look to see the skeleton holding it and waving it in its hands, much to the surprise of a startled Fiddlesworth! "Pick my plums!" the groundskeeper shouts aghast as he points toward the direction of the Skeleton, "That be a strange occurence an' no mistake! You'd best be after 'im quick an' get back that big egg o' yers!"
Dan glares at the skeletons and chases after him. "GET BACK HERE, YOU THIEF!" He cries out as he chases the bone ghoul to a large pair of gates. They both ran through them as Dan saw the bone burglar turning right into a building. "Okay! He can outrun me! But he can't outrun Fasttrack!" He dials the watch to the cat alien's icon. "It's hero time!" FLASH
"Wait!? Astrodactyl!? Even better! 'SQUAWK'!" He unfolds his wings and takes off into the air, chasing the ghoul as he ran into the building while the flying alien barrel rolls inside. They zip through the Workshop, pass another skeleton that was cooking eggs and bacon near the fire as it glanced in confusion.
They made through another section of the lower corridor as the chase was still on! But as the hero goes through the Pantry, he screeches to a stop and back up to one of the fridge doors, widened in his eyes at seeing another friend held inside, shriving in coldness. "VINYL! 'SQUAWK'" He whips door open and drags the girl out. "T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-thanks d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dude! IT was-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-so cold." The DJ teen steamers out as her hands were pin behind her back with some golden chains with the magic lock on it, while her ankles were chained as well.
"Don't worry! I'll get you somewhere warm." He holds the girl by her back and legs and flies out of the dark Pantry, blasting a Haunted door to bits with mouth beam as they flew back into the Kitchen. He sets the girl near a table as he glares at the bone man. "Game over, boney!" He tackles the ghoul with his jetpack, knocking the bag on the girl's lap as she glances in surprise as the alien hero hold the skeleton by his collar, while hovering.
"I hope you like knuckle sandwiches! 'SQUAWK' CAUSE THIS ONE IS YOURS!" He pulls his right fist back as the Skeleton clenches his eyes. "DAN! NO!" The 3 turns to see Sunset carrying Fluttershy while Pinkie hops around a corner, all looks horrified.
"Please don't hurt Mr. Ribs!" "He's not a meanie, Dan! He's a nice, funny guy!" Both bounded girls pleas as Sunset spoke. "Dan, listen! Mr. Ribs is not a bad guy like the other ghoulies! He's Ma's assistant! She sent him to you to help retrieve the Egg!"
The alien widens his eyes and turns to Mr. Ribs, as he wipes his head and nods with scared eyes. "Oh, no." The alien spoke as he lowers down and sets him down. BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP FLASH "I pulled an Rainbow and Applejack, didn't I?" He guilty said as he taps his finger together. The teens all look uncertain. "A little bit, dude." DJ-PON-3 sheepishly smiles as the other girls noticed. "Hey, Vinyl! You're okay!" "It's good that you're okay!" "We're glad Dan found you."
The DJ smiles at her friends as she flicks her shades up with her head. "Glad to see you dudes, too! Those nasty monsters stuffed me in a fridge in the Pantry! I couldn't call for help! Luckily, Dan ran into me! And not a sec too late! I thought I was going to be frozen meat!"
"Mr. Ribs okay! No broken bones!" "That's good!' The group turns to see Ma entering from a door near the Freezer." And look! You brought back the egg and more friends! One from you and me! Mr. Ribs! Be a sweetie and put the egg in while I fetch the other young 'un." She spoke as he went back. "Mr. Ribs helps strange boy and girls with tasty Egg!" The skeleton grabs the egg and places it in the pot.
"What does Ma meant by another friend? I'm pretty sure I was the only guy in this group when all of this happened." Dan questions as the girls all gathered together near a table. "Maybe she thought Rainbow is a boy! I mean, she is very Tomboy!" The DJ askes as Dan shakes his head. "No way! She's bounded to a giant plant! There's no way she could be moved!" "DO you think it's Spike?" "I hope not! I don' want that meanie Animo do something to the little guy after last time!" Pinkie comments to Fluttershy in worry as Vinyl questions in shock "WAIT!? DR. ANIMO!? HE'S HERE!? Did he did something to Sunset?!" "Yeah… it's a long story." Sunset sighs out.
"I said stop pushing me lady! I don't have friends, get it!" They all turn back to see Ma pushing a teen in. Only to widen their eyes at his black with silver accents jacket, Wolf head necklace and Darktrix. "AARON 11?!" The group cries out in shock and disbelief! The teen stumbles and caught himself as he dusts himself off. He then saw the boy hero and groans. "Of course… I should have figured that you were involved in this, Tennyson!"
"Well, apparently you're still Mr.'Grumpy man', Mr. Shade!" Pinkie responds with a frown as they narrow each of there eyes at one another. "Oh, so yer are friends! Wonderful!" "Ma! Why do you think Aaron is our friend?!" "Cause of the watches! They both look the similar, so I thought you both shared them!" Aaron face palms in annoyance.
"You know, she does make a point about the watches." Fluttershy comments. "Unbelievable! First I got caught in this storm on my way to the Cowboy festival! And now, I'm stuck in this creepy house, filled with freakshows and Tennysons and his chump buddies!"
"Well, you're no peach, yourself!" Vinyl responds with a glare. "Whatever! So what's with you? Can't figure out how to untie a knot?" The teen strolls up to Pinkie and was about to pull on the lock. "NO! DON'T! YOU'LL—" ZAP "AGGGHHHH!" Aaron flew back and lands on the floor, groaning as sparks surged through his body. Pinkie finishes her warning. "…Zap yourself. These ropes are enchanted! Only a magical key can free us!"
"Great… More craziness! Just what I needed!" He groans out as Dan glares and stomps up. "So, what are you up to this time?! Another fight!? Planning on stealing something?! Wanting to take the Geodes!?" "No way, dweeb! I'm just trying to get the festival and check it out! Jeeze!" The teen stomp pass them and stop in front of a window, glaring out at the storm with crossed arms. "Strange older boy seems upset. Other strange boy and girls upset as well. Cookie and Mr. Ribs confused."
"His name is Aaron! And let's just say, we don't get along with each other for reasons." Dan points out as glares at his back. "Sorry, young 'un! I didn't know you and that boy had problems." Ma apologizes with a sincere look as Pinkie smiles "That's okay, Ma! We never saw him coming. HEY, AARON! WHAT'S YOUR EVIL PLAN SO WE CAN STOP YOU!?" She yells out as the Teen growls out. "I DON'T HAVE AN EVIL PLAN, YOU PINK MONKEY! I'M JUST TRYING TO CHECK OUT THE FESTIVAL!"
Sunset looks at the boy as her expression changed. She starts recalling memories of during the 'Battle of the Bands' and after her 'She-Demon' episode. Sighing out, she walks over to the teen as he rubs his face in annoyance. "Look, Aaron. I'm sorry about accusing you. I forgot that you're a teen, too! And, judging by our situation, we might be able help all of us to escape." She smiles as the others looks in her in confusion as Dan walks over with the girls hopping.
The street boy turns back with a narrowed look. "What are you saying?" "Think about it! with 2 Omnitrix wielders on the same side, we can stand a better chance!" "She's right, Aaron! Look, you don't like me, and I don't like you! I get it! But we're going to need to team-up again like the Mega Cruiser. Or we're going to be stuck in this house forever! Truce for tonight?" The teen looks at the outstretched hands from both rivals.
"'SIGH' Okay. Truce." He shakes the both of them. "But it only last for tonight! Nothing more!" "Deal!" The all made it back to the pot as Ma claps her hands. "Wonderful! Yer all getting along! Now for the final ingredient! A pinch of Dungweed! I do believe I've seen some potent Dungweed growin' in the Walled Garden. Head on out through the Grand Hallway to start with!" The woman took the map and marks it for all to see.
Mr. Ribs then spoke out something. "Mr. Ribs remember something! Bad science man sent horde of Ghoulies at Kitchen! Planning to attack potion!" The others widens there eyes at the news. "Oh, no! Dudes! Those things are going to destroy the potion!" "And probably kidnap us!" Fluttershy shakes at Pinkie's comment while Sunset declares. "Then Dan and I will hold down the fort!" "But what about the Dungweed?!"
"I'll get it!" The others turns to Aaron in surprise. "Really?! You would do it!?" Dan declares in shock as Fluttershy questions. "But why?" "Hey! If fixing whatever potion this is will get me out of this place quicker, then who am I going to argue?" The teen points out, making the others realized that he's got a point.
"Okay…. Follow this map! And be carful with it!" The kid adds as he hands the paper to the teen. The older boy walks away as he snatches the bag, heading through the same door he went through. "Dude! You think Aaron will work with us?" "Vinyl. If he and I worked together to get off the Mega-Cruiser, then he can do it again, if our goal is the same."
The teen walks through the Grand Hallway as he glances at the map. "All right…. Just need to cut through a Sitting, Cloak and Music room and I'm golden!" He spoke as he puts the map away and heads to the open door, briefly blocked off by 2 skeleton maids as they charged at him. "Oh please." He quickly caught a feather dust and socks his fist into the head, sending it flying off as Aaron kicked the body into pieces.
He then ducks and delivers a hi kick at the other bone ghoul, sending it smashing into a wall and broke away as well. The teen merely smirks and dusts his hands as he walks into the Cloakroom. He glances around through the room of clothing and notices another door on the end of a hall. But as Aaron jogs to it, he was stopped by a Haunted Cloak just as the door slammed with an icon of a zombie appearing above it. "WHAT THE!?" Aaron exclaims as he quickly dodges an attack from the floating coat.
He notices a couple more cloaks joined in as the teen quickly rolls and dodges behind a trunk. "Oh, man! This house is getting freakier by the sec! All these crazy ghosts and monsters sure know how to gang up! Which means it's time to even the score, x4!" He grins as he slaps down on his self-made alien watch. FLASH
Aaron hold his arms out as his eyes glowed red and split into 4. His head turns into Quad Fist as his clothes ripped apart, revealing his body suit as his extra pair of arms shot out and pumped them all and posed.
"AW YEAH! TIME TO SMASH SOME MONSTERS!" He cries out as he cracks his knuckles in anticipation. Thanks to his superior strength, he was able to dispose of the Cloaks, only for a few Flying Imps, Zombies and a Mummy to pop out. The alien went to town, knocking the Imp out of the air with swipes as he grabs and bashes the zombies together, throwing them into a cabinet as it breaks. He then double right hooks the Mummy out a window, sending it out as the door opens.
"HA! And Tennyson thought I need his help!" He chuckles out as he moves to the door, only to barely fit into the hall. "Okay… maybe he's got a point about the big equals less agility thing. Better go with something smaller." He slaps the symbol and switches to Malware. "Malware, huh? I was hoping Wildfire, but I think I can work with this, I think." He continues on, heading through the Sitting room, after blasting a few Skeletons and Zombies with his eye laser, and made it into the Music Room.
"All right! Now I just need to figure out where to go. But first…." FLASH "Better save my aliens for something else." Aaron spoke as he glances at the Darktrix. He then noticed an open door between 2 windows, making him realized that it was a doorway out. The teen smirks as he heads out of the Music room and to his designation: The Walled Garden.
As he made his way past some bushes, he saw Octavia, bounded by rope that pins her arms to her side as a golden lock dangles in the front. She is hanging by the mouth of a large snake statue in the middle of a pond. "Hey! Aren't you that fancy chick with the weird instrument?" The girl perks up at the voice and quickly twirls around, only to frown at the teen. "Oh…. It's YOU. And for the record, it's called a Cello. What are you doing in this dreadful house?!"
"I came here to get out of the storm, and I ended up with Tennyson and his pals! Look! Do you want to stay out in this rain like a trophy?! Or do you want to be reunited with your best friend!?" The girl narrows her eyes. "Is that a yes or a no on you getting me down?" Aaron slaps his face in annoyance and groans. "Yes!" FLASH
Thorneblade stretched his vine and snaps the hanging rope, setting the girl down on the ground as he notices that her feet weren't tied at all. "Can you still walk?" The girl stumbles for a bit and regains her footing. "Yes. Although my arms are useless for now." "Then head for that staircase!" He points at a raised, stone section that over looks the garden that also has another door. "I got to get something first!" The girl jogs as best as she could as the alien hoists himself up and over looks, spotting the Dungweed near some Skeletons that were digging for a Zombie Pirate.
"Smelly plant at 12 o'clock." He slams his hands on the ground, making a bunch of vines entangled and traps the monsters. "Awesome!" He exclaims as he stretches out and grabs the plant from a distance, retracting to place it in the bag, but not before getting a whiff. "PHEW! This thing smells like a 3-week old dumpster! And I though Skunkbug's slime was smelly." He then starts using his back vines to traverse the garden.
He lands near Octavia, only for both to noticed that a bunch of monsters were popping out of the bushes. "Great Scott! I'm thinking that plant was trapped!" "Yeah! I figured!" They both rushed in, making it into the Study as Aaron turns back. "Okay! We can hang here to rest for a bit." "Good! Cause that rain was really soaking me." Octavia points out as they both rest by a fireplace for a bit.
As the girl dries up, she notices Aaron was looking off in the fire as if he was thinking about something. "Umm… Aaron?" "What?" "I've always wonder: Why do you hate Dan so much?" Aaron reminds in silence for a few mins and responds back. "Because he has a real family that actually cares and everyone loves him, but dispenses me." The teen was surprised by the answer as she thinks about it. Could that be the reason why he always fights the boy hero? He was jealous of him having friends and family while he's alone and he thinks everyone hates him?
"Come on! Rest's over." He spoke out as he helps the girl up and the walk to the open door, back to the Music room. As the 2 almost made it to the other door, it slams on them as a bunch of Ninja Imps crashed through the windows, making the teen sigh out. "At least I can work my anger out on these things." FLASH
Aaron's arms turns into Wreckingbolt's as he smirks, spinning around as the rest of his body forms as well. He faces the camera, grinning as his red glowing eye peered at it. He flips backward and lands, ready for action.
"Time to bowl a perfect game! You might want to get behind something." Octavia didn't argue as she moves behind a large drawer, making Wreckingbolt spin dashes around the room, crushing, smashing and breaking through the monsters and stuff around the room. After a few mins of smashing and crashing, the dust settled to see all the monsters are gone but the room likes like a tornado of boulders went through it. "WHEW! Feels good to do that!" Wreckingbolt grins as he morphs back while the door opens.
"Come on, let's keep going!" Aaron motions as the shell-shocked girl mumbles. "I'm not sure to be glade or concern about him on our side." The group of 2 backtracks through the Sitting room and Cloakroom, making it back to the lobby. But as they reached the door, it slammed and popped off revealing a haunted door. "A MOVING DOOR!? Is magic responsible for this!?" Octavia exclaims in surprise as Aaron narrows his eyes. "No. But this thing is going to be ether firewood…" FLASH "OR A SCRATCHING POST WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH IT!" Tiger Fury roars out as he brings out his blades, charging at the object that didn't have a chance as the blades chopped it into millions of bits.
"Let's move!" Tiger Fury grumbles out as both persons made it back into the kitchen, just in time to see Overflow takes care of the last Fire Imp. "Hey! Shade's back with a new friend! Did you get the weed?" "Yeah! Yeah! You dweeb! It's right here." Tiger Fury grabs the bag as he times out, making Overflow do the same.
"Hey Octavia! Guess you got caught as well?" "SUNSET!? Darling, what has happened to you?!" The fancy teen exclaims in surprise as Vinyl explain. "Long story short, Tavi! Animo is responsible, made those monsters and turned Sunset into what she is right now!" "And we need that weed you got to cure her of her looks." "And help escape from this scary place!" Fluttershy whimpers out as Pinkie nods in agreement.
"Anyway, I got the last ingredient!" "Wonderful! Now just bring it to the pot…" Ma asked as Aaron did that, dropping the weed in as the chief got to work, mixing the potion. The entire group looks in awe as the liquid turns pink and yellow. "OHHHHH! Swirly!" Pinkie grins out as Ma adds some salt to it, but when she grabbed a pepper shaker, Pinkie's senses kicked in. "NOOOO!" She tackles the woman, making the shaker spill on the floor. "Pinkie!? Why did you do that?!" "Oh dear! Strange pink girl hurts Cookie!" Mr. Ribs adds to Fluttershy. Sunset helps the girls up. "Pinkie! Why did you tackle the chief?"
"Because my Pinkie sense was telling me that she was about to add something bad to the recipe!" Aaron whispers to the boy. "'Pinkie sense'?" "Trust me! Just go with it." Ma takes a look at the shaker, noticing the red x on it. "Oh my! It really is the wrong ingredient! I'm so sorry! Thanks for stopping me, dearie." "No problem!" Vinyl points out. "Okay. Now that's clear up, how about we get curing?" Ma scoops up a glass jar of the stuff. "All she gotta do is sprinkle a few drops on her face."
"I'll do it." Aaron grabs the jar as Sunset position herself. "Okay, Aaron. Just a few drops." But the teen got a mischievous smirk as he replies. "Okay, Sunset." SPLASH "HEY!" "HAHAHAHAHAH! OH MAN! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR IT!" The teen cackles as the girl's head was completely soaked. The others were concern and annoyed at the teen's antics. "Real mature, dude." Dan crossed his arms.
Just then, Sunset was engulfed in pink smoke, making some lighting shoot out for a few sec until, in a flash of purple light, the smoke fades away to reveal a normal Sunset Shimmer. "HUZZA! You're back to normal Sunset!" Octavia cheers out as Sunset looks at herself, really happy to be back to normal. "I'm really am! That potion really did it!" "YEAH FOR THE MAGIC POTION!" Pinkie hops up and down as Fluttershy softly yeahs as Vinyl grins out as Dan pumps his fist. "ALL RIGHT!"
"I'm glad to help out ,younglings! Thanks for all your work!" Ma thanks as Mr. Ribs spoke out. "Mr. Ribs wants to help strange boys and girls find other strange kids. Mr. Ribs knows how. Go to Crivens' room. He help Strange kids." The skeleton leads them out of the kitchen, with Sunset carrying Fluttershy, Pinkie hopping along and Aaron carrying the DJ, to the Lobby. He points at the door on the left of the exit, heading back to help Ma. "Guess I'm going to get Crivens to help us." "Who's Crivens?" Dan answers Aaron's question. "The butler I met when I got here. He gave me the map to this place."
"Good point. We'll all stay here and wait for you. See if you can find out anything from the butler, Dan." The kid nods at Sunset as Octavia wishes him luck as he heads to the door. "Good luck Daniel!" "Make sure you don't mess up, Tennyson!" Dan steels himself as he heads to the next chapter of this crazy, spooky night.
