Screams filled the air as our heroes raced to the location of their latest mission. "Well this is the place," Yusuke said as they stood in front of a large red archway much like what you find outside shrines. A sign hung lopsided from it which read: Kiken Tokyo Theme Park. "One of the coolest theme parks in Tokyo." ((AN: Kiken means "Danger" in Japanese))
Danny beamed upon seeing the large roller coasters in the background behind the sign, "Finally a break from all that super natural insanity!"
Tucker nodded, "Yeah and this park has it all! Water slides, roller coasters, a midway arcade, and even a food court!"
That's right the group; consisting of Danny, Yusuke, Botan, Kurama, Kuwabara, Sam, Tucker, and Keiko had gathered today to enjoy a day at the amusement park. They had asked Hiei to come but of course he didn't want to be THAT close to THAT many mortals at once as the little fire imp might snap. Everyone else though was determined to make this a good day.
"Man I haven't been here in ages," Yusuke said with a smirk as they entered the park after purchasing tickets.
Botan crossed her arms in a huff; she was dressed in casual civilian clothes of blue jeans and a light pink top, "I can't believe you guys! Kiyoshi's sword, Mashiro, has been stolen and all you can think about is your weekend!"
Sam nodded in agreement, "She's right I can't believe how irresponsible you guys are being."
"Pfft, whatever, "Yusuke quipped, "All I know is that I'm spending a relaxing non-demon day here and going on the biggest roller coaster they have!"
Kurama shook his head, "I imagine Koenma will have a fit when he hears we're playing hooky Yusuke."
((Flash to Spirit World))
Koenma walks into his office and hops up into his large leather chair. He begins to go through papers on his desk and spies a sealed envelope sitting on top of everything else. He breaks the pink heart sticker seal pulls out a note. He scans through the neat hand writing and reads bits of it out loud, "Dear Lord Koenma…Yusuke dragging Danny and others to amusement park…tried to talk them out of it…course they won't listen…Love Botan." He finished the letter and crumples the letter in clenched fist in outrage, "YUUUUUUSSSSSSUUUKKKEEEE!"
((Back to Kiken Tokyo Theme Park))
Yusuke scratched the back of his head, "Yeah well...it's his own fault for working us to death...Danny needs to see the sights of Tokyo aside from demon guts and stuff."
"Yusuke, that wasn't exactly what I meant. You guys still have to do what you have to," Keiko began but stopped when she noticed that Yusuke, Danny, Tucker, and Kuwabara had already left. She sighed and looked to Sam, Botan, and Kurama who just sweat-dropped.
Meanwhile the group was unknowingly being observed by two pairs of eyes, "There they are…do you remember the plan," the first pair of eyes asked.
"No man. You never TOLD me…or anybody the plan," the second pair of eyes stated.
"Oh yeah."
The two pairs of eyes stepped forward and revealed themselves to be a kappa wearing sunglasses and a Hawaiian shirt and a reptilian gremlin wearing a silver chain-link necklace.
"Huh…I guess I'll have to get them back from the confines of my luxurious underground lair," the kappa continued.
"You mean the abandoned haunted house?"
"SHUT UP! You're un-dramatizing the scene!"
"I'm just asking…you're confusing me," the gremlin complained, scratching his bald head.
"Whatever, now we'll head back there so that we may start my grand master plan…"
"The one we don't know about?"
"Yes…I mean, NO! Now c'mon," the kappa shouted and the two scurried off.
Yusuke and the three other boys were now walking through the crowded park, anxious to get away from Keiko's nagging and to have some real fun. "Man this place is massive! What should we do first," Tucker asked.
"I'm going to hit the midway and see if I can win Yukina some stuffed animals. She loves that kind of stuff," Kuwabara said, jerking a thumb at the large arcade behind him.
Yusuke rolled his eyes, "Are you sure you won't just keep the stuff for yourself?"
"Hey! Just because I like kittens doesn't make me a softy!"
Danny and Tucker exchanged glances and tried not to laugh.
"Whatever, I'll see you guys in a bit," Kuwabara said storming off. Tucker shrugged and decided to follow him.
"Hey, you guys go on without me, I'm going to hit the arcade with Kuwabara and maybe do some DDR."
After Tucker had left Danny looked to Yusuke with dread and asked, "Is there a karaoke machine in there?"
"I doubt it."
"Good."
"So…what do you want to do?"
A giant roller coaster with a plethora of loop the loops, corkscrews and drops loomed over the arcade and Danny smirked, "How about the massive roller coaster?"
"Tokyo X? All right. Just don't get TOO sick," Yusuke said with a broad smile. He pumped his fist in the air excitedly, "Man! Nothing could possibly go wrong today!"
Danny sweat dropped, "Don't say that…"
"Why not?"
"Because if you do then something bad will definitely happen…Murphy's Law, remember?"
"Oh yeah…crap. Oh well…let's go try out Tokyo X."
The boys rushed past the theme park's haunted house (Tokyo Phantasm Palace) that was under construction. Unbeknownst to them this was also the H.Q. of our friend the kappa and his cronies. Near the exit of Tokyo Phantasm Palace is where he was currently holding a meeting. Boss, the name of the kappa, was standing in front of a multitude of tiny monsters, goblins, gremlins, assorted spirits, and other lower class demons with a wide grin on his face, "My fellow mischievous spirits and troublesome demons, we have gotten word from a reliable source," he paused and glanced to the side of his impromptu stage, "Who shall remain nameless since I hate him," he muttered.
The Box Ghost suddenly appeared next to him, "I AM THE BOX GHO-"
Boss kicked him out of the way, "So anyways we have the spirit detective and the halfa heading our way so here's the plan: Our gang sucks, right?"
"YEAH!" the masses cried in unison.
"And these guys are the biggest heroes around, right?"
"YEAH!"
"So my plan is…WE KILL THEM! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!"
The crowd was silent and a random goblin, one of Boss's "generals" tugged on his Hawaiian shirt, "Uh…Boss…we're only tricksters and pranksters."
Boss sweat dropped, "Oh yeah…uhm…well instead…WE PRANK THE EVER-LOVING CRAP OUTTA THEM! Our street cred will explode sky high!"
"HUZZAH!"
"Now, get the super glue, the hexes, and the awkward situations 'because we are going to raise some April Fools day style hell on these guys!"
The hoard of ghouls and demons charge outward to wreak havoc, Boss cackles to himself in glee, "Let the fun begin!"
Elsewhere Kurama, Keiko, Botan, and Sam are walking around the park, "I hate it when Yusuke does this," Keiko fumed.
"Well, I'm going to go look for Tucker and the others at the arcade. One of them is BOUND to be there. You guys can just hang out," Sam said walking off.
Kurama looked at his watch, "It's around lunch so I'm going to go get something to eat," he said walking off.
Botan sighed, "Now what do we do?"
"Might as well check for Yusuke and Danny around those larger rides."
Tucker is trying his luck at DDR…and failing miserably. He then noticed that a large group of people had gathered around one of the arcade games. Curious Tucker began to push through the crowd of awed viewers. He got past a boy with braided black hair to see Sam beating a pimpled, beanie wearing kid at Soul Caliber 2.
The game ends and the boy nearly collapsed in tears, "I…I can't believe I lost…TO A GIRL!"
Sam smirked and turned to the crowd, "So…who's next?"
"Sam? What are you doing here?"
Sam leaned against the machine, "Kicking people's butts at video games. Want me to wipe the floor with your face…again?"
Tucker pushed his hat forward, "You're on!"
They both inserted their tokens and selected their players (Tucker chose Astaroth and Sam chose Ivy Valentine). "Ready…FIGHT!" the game called out and the two began to swing their weapons at each other; Sam dodged most of Tucker's strikes and then hitting him in the back with a good combo or two. As they got caught up in the game play they did not notice the eyes watching them from the vents of the arcade.
"Ok…you got the dye," one ghoul asked.
"Yes," a goblin replied, holding up a bottle of pink liquid.
"I got the hex," a second ghoul replied, holding up a glowing orb.
"Let's make this happen," the first ghoul said with a grin.
They proceeded to open the vent and drop a balloon of pink dye on Sam and then a small vial that, upon hitting the ground, burst open and surrounded the two with smoke.
"Sam you ok," Tucker coughed.
Sam had stopped playing and turned towards him. Her hair and clothes were all pink and her eyes were wide and full of…Tucker couldn't place it but it was defiantly off. Tucker's mouth dropped as he realized what it was: happiness and sparkles.
"Call me Samantha! It is proper and ladylike. I'm going to buy myself some cute dolls and get some brighter clothes…lalalalalala," Sam said bubbly, skipping away.
Tucker twitched, "That…was bizarre. Oh well…back to video games!" Tucker went to take his controller again but was hit wit ha massive shock. "Ouch!" Tucker frowned and tried to pull out his PDA but was shocked again. He started to panic and ran for an ATM but is once again shocked, "NO! Electronics…have betrayed me…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He cried grabbing a random guy by the shirt and shaking him.
"Hey get off!"
Kurama, else where in the park, looked up thinking he had heard a scream, of course this being an amusement park he just figured it was someone on a ride and sat down at one of the restaurant's tables and set a salad in front of him. Keiko stormed up to him and Kurama brushed the hair from his eyes to ask, "Any luck finding the others?"
Keiko sighed, "No. Botan went to look for the others on her own so I decided to get some lunch."
"Would you like some of my salad?"
"No thanks, I'll go buy myself a sandwich," Keiko said walking off.
Kurama shrugged and began to eat his salad. Unnoticed by the fox a goblin popped up on the other side of the table and dumped a thin powder over Kurama's napkins. The goblin ducked down just as Kurama reached for the napkin to wipe his hands. Kurama blinked as his hands began to itch; he scratched and realized that his hands were now becoming red and puffy.
Keiko returned with a chicken sandwich from the stand, "Are you okay?"
Kurama continued to scratch his hands, alternating between one and the other, "Ugh…somehow I've been inflicted with poison ivy."
Keiko frowned, "We'd better get you to the health office."
The two set off for the offices but before they get too far a gremlin hurled a vial at Keiko's feet. The smoke cleared and Keiko gasped, as she was now in a large chicken costume, "What's going on!"
Meanwhile at the Skyscraper of Shock, a sky dropper ride, Yusuke and Danny were taking seats next to each other as other people boarded the ride. Botan rushed up next to them and took a seat next to Danny, "Don't run off like that!"
Yusuke rolled his eyes, "Sorry," he said insincerely.
"I can't believe you guys are taking a day off in the middle of such an important investigation…Kuroko is a dangerous individual and you all are just behaving like children at the amusement park while she plans world domination!" The protection bar suddenly comes down on the three and the ride began to rise slowly, "Oh great, I hate these kind of rides," Botan whispered.
"That's funny…you fly around like a maniac on your oar and THIS scares you," Yusuke joked.
Danny gave Botan a reassuring smile, "Relax, it'll be over in a minute." As they reach the top the group all raise their hands to prepare for the drop. Some winged imps perched at the top rapidly clamped a pair of cuffs on Danny and Botan's wrists. "You feel something?"
They both raised their eyes to see they've been cuffed together by pink fuzzy handcuffs. Their eyes widened and both thought the same thing: How the hell did those get there?
"Oh dear," Botan muttered.
The ride suddenly came to a halt, preparing for the drop and a goblin took a part of Danny's boxers, which are sticking out of the back of his pants, and magically stuck it to the ride's tracks.
"HERE WE GO!" a random passenger squealed.
The ride jerked and then plummeted to the ground, the laws of Physics working against Danny and he was given an incredible wedgie as his underwear was yanked up as the ride dropped. Danny's eyes dilated and he let out a loud, agonizing scream so high pitched only dogs could hear it (and the goblin that pranked him, ended up falling off the ride and landing in a garbage can).
The ride reached the bottom and came to a halt, the remains of Danny's boxers rained to the ground. Botan looked at Danny worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Danny twitched and Yusuke whacked him upside the head, "I don't feel well," Danny managed.
Yusuke eyed the underwear falling from the sky, "Well I can only imagine." The bars raise and Danny and Botan got up. Yusuke went to stand as well but he realized he was stuck. "What the hell?"
Botan turned to him, "What's the matter?"
"I can't get out of my seat! Hey Danny…phase me out."
Danny sighed then looked around to make sure no one was watching, he grabbed Yusuke's hand and phased him off of the ride and then they both re-solidified. "Now what was that about," Yusuke muttered angrily.
Botan gasped, "Look!" They turned in the direction that her finger was pointing to see a goblin being pulled out of a garbage can by a group of three winged imps. They looked up and then scrambled off., "Goblins and Imps…both low-level trickster demons."
Yusuke growled, "Those bastards glued me to the seat! Probably cuffed you and Danny too."
"Okay…I'm more pissed off than hurt by that wedgie now!" Danny looked down at the pink fuzzy cuffs and phased out of them as well. The two boys were about to run off after the fleeing tricksters but were distracted by a voice calling to them.
"Danny! Yusuke!" Kuwabara shouted, running up to them.
"Kuwabara, anything happen to you," Yusuke asked.
Kuwabara rolled his eyes sky ward, "Actually," he began then turned his back to them to reveal an angry looking orange cat plushy stuck to the back of his head, "yes."
Danny and Yusuke tried to contain their laughter but failed miserably and burst into fits of it.
"SHUT UP! It's not that funny…if I try and rip it off my hair will come off with it," Kuwabara protested.
Yusuke managed to compose himself, "Well, me and Danny here were about to maul those gremlins that did this to us…care to join?"
Kuwabara cracked his knuckles with a grin, "Definitely."
The three boys ran off, Botan in pursuit with the pink handcuffs still attached to her wrist, "COULD YOU GET THESE OFF FIRST PLEASE!" They followed the demons to the boarded up remains of Tokyo Phantasm Palace,
"This must be where they stay," Danny muttered.
Yusuke smirked, "Well, let's go kick their ass."
"Be careful…they're bound to have some sort of defenses," Botan warned and the boys headed inside.
Inside Tokyo Phantasm Palace, Boss is sitting at a small desk looking at different styles of whoopee cushions in a magazine. Suddenly his door burst open and a gremlin rushed in, "Boss! The spirit detective and his friends found us out! They're here!"
Boss flipped to another page in his magazine, not bothering to look up, "Don't worry…our defense systems should keep them busy."
"No…I mean they're right behind me!"
Yusuke shoved the gremlin aside and the others followed in behind him.
"Well…damn. How'd you get past the hall of mirrors," Boss asked.
"It only took like two minutes to figure that out," Yusuke quipped.
"The piranha pool?"
Danny sweat-dropped, "They were goldfish."
"Yeah…well…what about the wall of spikes?"
Kuwabara smirked, "They were rubber!"
Boss frowned, "The maze of darkness?"
Botan shrugged, "We found the light switch."
"The man eating spiders?"
"Rubber as well," Kuwabara stated.
"Uh…uh…how about my horrible guardian hell beast!"
"You mean the cardboard cut out of Hello Kitty," Danny asked.
"Well how the hell did you make it out of the bottomless pit of no return?" Boss exclaimed.
"You mean the three foot deep hole," Yusuke blinked in puzzlement.
"Dammit, I knew that real estate agent cheated us," Boss cursed.
Yusuke cracked his knuckles, "Now we're going to beat your face in!"
Boss cackled and jumped on top of his desk, "HA! I've put up a magical barrier around me that no organic matter can pass through!"
Yusuke looked at the ground then picked up a large red brick, "Well…I could throw this brick at your head then."
Boss blinked, "Well…I suppose you COULD do that." Yusuke hurled the brick, knocking the kappa backwards.
"Hey! I wanted to do that," Danny protested.
Yusuke shrugged, "Whatever."
Botan glared over the kappa, "Why were you guys pranking us all over the park?"
"And ruining our day off!"
"And pissing us off!"
Boss picked himself up, rubbing the large bump on his head, "All right, all right…I'll level with ya'. A while ago, around the industrialization of Japan, we trickster demons decided to join together. United we stand divided we fall that sort of junk. Unfortunately to other demons like Oni and Ogres who actually kill people, pulling pranks is….silly. So we thought that by pranking you guys we could get recognition. So if you guys insist you can do with us as you wish."
The group looked at each other then back at Boss. Yusuke then snatched the kappa up by his Hawaiian shirt, "First off undo all the pranks you did on us."
"Done," Boss chocked. He snapped his web-like fingers. Immediately the plushy and cuffs fall off of Kuwabara and Botan.
Elsewhere Sam was looking at a bunch of pink, frilly dresses. Suddenly the pink dye disintegrated from her and she blinked her eyes, returning to normal, "What the heck am I doing here?"
Tucker is seen hugging the machinery at the arcade, shock free. A large crowd has gathered around him and a short kid with brown hair frowns, "Dude that's just sick."
Kurama is at the health office and is suddenly cured of the infernal rash and Keiko's chicken costume falls off. They looked at each other and opened their mouths at the same time to comment but then Kurama just shook his head, "I'm not going to ask."
Boss looked Yusuke in the eyes, "So…we can go scotch free now, right?
An evil grin crossed Yusuke's face, "Not quite."
Awhile later all the goblins, ghouls, imps, gremlins, and mini demons have been gathered into the Fenton Thermos and Boss is chained up to Botan's oar. Boss looked down at his chains with a pout, "This sucks."
Yusuke shrugged, "well you had it coming to you for wrecking our day off!"
"Well these guys are going straight to prison…are you guys going to stay at the park," Botan asked, hovering in the air above them.
Danny laughed, "No thanks, I say we find Sam and the others and get the hell out of here."
Kuwabara nodded in agreement and jerked a thumb at the large bag of stuffed animals that rested behind him, "You said it and I need to get these stuffed animals to Yukina."
The boys walk off and Botan flies off with the collection of tricksters.
Later at the Spirit World Prison
The ghouls from earlier are now all chained together on a chain gang, cracking open rocks. Boss is chained up next to a large one-eyed demon. The Cyclops glared down at the little kappa, "Who're you supposed to be?"
Boss hefted up his pick ax and smirked, "I'm the guys who pranked the spirit detective.
The Cyclopes grunted and whacked the kappa upside the head with his own ax. Boss collapsed with a groan, "No respect…no respect."
Author's note/Disclaimer: I don't anything here not Danny Phantom or Yu Yu Hakusho. Check out my other fic, Full Metal Alchemist: The Blood Feud, which I highly recommend you reading and reviewing. So please review or I'll send horrible trickster demons to make your life incredibly awkward XD
Also...does anyone else think it weird/funny that THIS chapter took place during number 13 (chapter number wise)? We didn't plan it that way either...we just wanted to do something amusing with pranks...we didn't realize it would be chapter 13...also it may be a bit much but next chapter is Omake (since that occurs every 7th chapter...for no reason in particular) SO
NEXT CHAPTER: OMAKE SPECIAL STRIKES AGAIN!
