Well, here's chapter 5. I am on a roll! I hope you enjoy the chapter. To tell the truth, I got more reviews than I expected. Thanks to everyone who reviewed.
Giramon: I won! I won!
Tory: Just wait until next time. Candlemon will kick your butt yet!
Me: Giramon's beat him 14 times, and I've beaten you 23 times. I've never lost and he's only lost once. Are you ever going to give up?
Tory: You win for now, but I will be able to beat you!
Me: Yeah, sure. Just take Candlemon and get out of here.
"Guys, since we've been working hard, I've decided for us to take a break." said Jimmy. "Sheen, would you like to fight side by side with Ultralord once more?"
"Yes, I'd do anything." said Sheen.
"Well, it's your lucky day." replied Jimmy. "I've modified the game pyramid so you won't be stuck in there permanently. If you haven't won after 3 tries, it'll teleport you out of here."
"I'd say that sounds cool!" said Danny. Will had befriended him, since he was a good person and the halfa Seer mentioned. "So this is sort of a training exercise?"
"Yes, but it's more fun." said Will. "Plus, you have someone to help you if you're in trouble."
"Me, Carl, and Sheen will play first." said Jimmy. "Sheen, how many levels does this game have?"
"It's got 14 levels on nonstop action, in addition to the adventure." said Sheen. "Still, it doesn't have an ultra crystal like the last one."
"Well, we're going to start out on level 3." said Jimmy. "After about 6 or 7 hits, you're out of the game until your friends win or it starts the next attempt. However, you don't get hurt in this game."
"You up for it, Danny?" asked Will.
"You bet I am." he replied. "It'll be a chance to use my fighting skills. But why are you using Ultralord?"
"We all like to play the game, though Sheen's the only one who's obsessed." said Will. "Just don't use your ghost powers. That would take the challenge out of the game."
Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen got on the circles and were teleported to the video game. Danny was excited, and so was Will, though he hid it better.
Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen were in the battle arena and Ultralord was standing beside them. Sheen was P1, Jimmy was P2, and Carl was P3.
"Greetings, life forms." said Ultralord. "I'm about to engage robo-fiend in pitch combat. Would you like to be my battle buddies?"
"Yes, we would." said Jimmy. "Now let's get ready to fight."
Robo-fiend was coming and Sheen shouted a warning. Ultralord blocked the attack with his shield and prepared for battle.
"Remember, physical attacks don't do too much damage." said Jimmy. "However, if you keep attacking him, it quickly adds up."
Robo-fiend sent Ultralord flying and fired a green burst of energy. They dodged except for Carl, who took a direct hit. With almost half his life gone, he ran for his life.
Jimmy and Sheen came from behind and attacked. They ran before Robo-fiend could hit them. Nevertheless, he fired 2 rockets, but they managed to dodge.
Ultralord had recovered and punched Robo-fiend into a pile of rocks. Carl hid behind Ultralord, hoping he wouldn't be hit again.
Sheen jumped on him, pounding him with his fists. However, the robot threw him aside and went towards Ultralord. He had only lost about 1/3 of his life.
"His shields are beginning to break!" said Jimmy. "Carl, distract him while Sheen and I attack."
He went and punched robo-fiend, which made him fire 2 more rockets. Ultralord took the hit for him, but he was now badly drained. Sheen Kicked him right in the back of the leg, which caused him to lose his balance.
Ultralord launched him into the air, which caused Robo-fiend to lose most of his energy. However, he landed on Carl, which took the rest of his life out. Jimmy kicked him in the head and that finished him.
"Good work, battle buddies!" said Ultralord. "Join me again next time for the never-ending battle against evil!"
They were transported out of the game, Sheen looking very proud of himself.
"This is definite proof it works." said Will. "Danny, it's our turn."
"I'm right behind you, Will!" exclaimed Danny.
Jimmy raised the game level by 1, which made it a little harder. As they went up, not only it Robo-fiend's weapons get more powerful, it was harder to damage him.
"This is it, Will." said Danny, who was P2. "I think we can take him."
"Just don't get overconfident." said Will.
Robo-fiend knocked Ultralord aside and fired energy blasts, but both dodged them easily. Danny jumped up and kicked him in the face, which to be his most vulnerable spot. Will was proud of him and socked him in the stomach, which knocked him off balance.
Ultralord joined the fight, and it became a no-holds-barred punching match. Danny and Will stayed out of it, and waited until one of them knocked the other away.
They saw that Ultralord's life was draining more quickly than Robo-fiend's. After he was hit with 3 rockets, Ultralord was down. But Robo-fiend had lost a lot of health and energy.
"Let's let him run out of energy before attacking." said Danny. "That way, he won't be able to defend himself."
Since they were at full health, they could take some hits. Both of them threw a rock at him, which he demolished with his atomic breath. Danny continued to attack and dodge, while Will kept Robo-fiend busy.
He soon feel, with neither of them losing much life. Danny had only been his once, while Will only got caught on the edge of a blast.
"I admit, that wasn't all that hard." said Danny. "With Ultralord and 2 well-trained humans, he didn't stand a chance."
"I even took it up a level." admitted Jimmy, though neither were mad at him.
"Let's make it a little more challenging." said Will. "Jimmy, you stay here, since we need someone to monitor the controls. The rest of you, come with me."
"What about us?" said Cindy. She and L:ibby had gotten past the security cameras while they were playing the game.
"You guys want to join in?" asked Sheen. "This is training for when we fight ghosts."
Since Cindy and Libby knew about the halfas, they understood. Will let them join in and told Jimmy to raise it to level 11. He did so, though he was worried they wouldn't be able to beat him. At level 11, it took a lot of hits for Robo-fiend to go down, and each Ultralord's hits were worth about 3 of theirs. Also, he had very powerful weapons.
They were transported into the game once again. Sheen was P1, Carl was P2, Will was P3, Danny was P4, Cindy was P5, and Libby was P6.
They agreed to help Ultralord, of course, but Robo-fiend was nearly twice as big as before. He fired at least a dozen rockets, and they barely managed to dodge them.
"We can go in groups!" said Will. "Ultralord, you stay with Carl, I'll go with Danny, and the others will be third group."
Robo-fiend fired his red energy ray, pushing his enemies on the defensive. One of shots hit Libby, which took out most of her life, since this was Robo-fiend's second-strongest attack.
"Can't we wait until he runs out of energy?" asked Danny.
"It won't work on this level." replied Will, dodging another attack. "He's got nearly 10 times the energy that he did in the last fight."
Cindy and Libby took advantage of Robo-fiend's concentration on Will and Danny and attacked with all their strength. However, it did barely any damage and Cindy fired his chest missile, the most deadly attack, Ultralord fired at the missile with his lasers, but Cindy was still caught in the edge of the blast, which took about 2/5 of her life. It crushed Libby and sent her to the green area at one of the corners.
Carl was terrified and just watched as his friends fought robo-fiend. Sheen found a green crystal, which doubled the power of his attacks. He attacked robo-fiend again and again. However, it only took out about 10 percent of his health. Will pushed Sheen out of the way before he could get hit, and they ran for cover once he launched his rockets.
Ultralord punched Robo-fiend in the face, which knocked him back, but the robot fired his chest missile. Ultralord blocked it with his shields, but still lost a good part of his life.
"Now what are we going to do?" asked Cindy.
"We're going to take robo-loser down!" said Will. "Come on, Cindy, do it for Libby."
Both ran towards Ultralord, while Sheen, Carl and Danny stayed back. That is, until Danny found a laser rifle and joined the fight.
Cindy and Will were constantly moving, constantly attacking. Robo-fiend could not hit them and Ultralord at the same time. He was about to launch his missiles but Danny shot him right in the chest, which caused them all to explode. He took a good deal of damage, but Ultralord was out of the fight and Will and Cindy lost most of their life.
Ultralord had lost about 3/5 of his health, but he still had most of his energy. He fired all kinds of energy blasts, quickly taking Carl out of the fight.
"What are we going to do?" asked Sheen. "He's too strong."
"We'll find a way, don't worry." said Will.
"Guys, there are some health recoveries behind Robo-fiend." said Jimmy over the speakerphone. Danny fired at Robo-fiend, but took another energy blast.
Cindy managed to get the recovery, which restored most of her health. Will tried to get it, but he was taken out of the game, and joined Libby and Carl in the green corner.
As the next in line, Danny took it, restoring all of his health. Robo-fiend continued to fire, not giving them any opening at attack.
"Guys, zig-zag around the blasts." said Cindy. "If we can force him into close combat, he won't be able to beat us."
Sheen and Danny immediately charged, Cindy right behind them. They dodged the attacks and began to hit him. Danny gave Cindy his laser rifle and she jumped on Robo-fiend's neck. She fired into an opening, destroying most of his energy.
"Good job, Cindy!" said Sheen, dodging a claw. Eventually, they managed to take it down, though only Danny and Cindy made it to the end, and not with much health.
They were transported back to the lab, looking exhausted.
"7 on 1 and he nearly beat us." said Libby in disbelief.
"It was a very high level and you didn't have anything else besides your hands and feet." said Jimmy.
"This will be useful for training." said Danny. "We'll be able to beat whatever dares to challenge us."
"At least I got to listen to my music once I was taken out." said Libby.
"I'm sorry I couldn't do more to help." said Carl.
"Don't worry about it." said Will. "After some intense training and exercise, you'll be as good as the rest of us. By the way, Jimmy, I'm increasing my fleet of warships on Ceres."
"Probably a good idea." said Jimmy. "We need to be able to fight against aliens who attack us, even though it hasn't happened for nearly 4 years."
"Well, another visit is likely." said Cindy. "I just hope the next one is more friendly, but at least we have competent officers in the military now."
"It'll help in case we're attacked, right?" said Sheen.
"I see you have found the Halfa, Jimmy Neutron." said a voice, and the ghost prophet showed up.
"Who the hell is he?" demanded Cindy.
"Remember what I told you yesterday about Seer?" asked Will, and she nodded in understanding.
"This is only the first part." said Seer "Already your enemy is prepared to attack. Phantom and Striker must be ready."
"How do you know my nickname?" asked Sheen.
"I can see into the future, Striker. Your greatest foe is about to strike, James. I just hope you and your friends are ready."
"Don't worry about it." said Danny. "We'll be able to take them down. We've got 8, including 2 ghost hybrids."
"We're not afraid of them." said Libby.
"You will be, Libby." said Seer. "You will be." and he vanished.
"Well, if what he says is true, which it may not be, we better prepare to fight." said Cindy.
"Why do you think I'm building up the fleet?" asked Will. "I heard Seer's words, and I wanted to prepare."
"We'll have to meet whatever comes." said Jimmy. "I have faith in our abilities to fight evil."
"And I'll be right by your side." said Cindy.
"And us." said everyone else in unison.
"I'm glad to hear it." said Jimmy. "I know that no matter what we face, we will face it together."
Well, that's chapter 5. Now things start to get interesting. I didn't put school or fighting ghosts in this chapter, since I wanted them to have a little fun.
Giramon: You've certainly kept them in character.
Me: Thanks, Giramon. It isn't always easy. I'm just glad I know the characters.
Please read and review my story, and if you're interested in Harry Potter, or Digimon, read my crossover story: The Dark Digidestined. I've only got 1 chapter to go.
