OK guys, here it is, chapter 3. Thanks to all of my readers and reviewers! I'll just take a second to respond.
phoneixwinds07: Maaaaybe, this chapter should provide more info. on what's up in the ghost zone. I'll confirm what's happened for anyone who didn't quite catch it in the next chapter.
wishing for rain: Unfortunately my weekends almost over now…. Well anyways, I think the plot picks up a bit more in this chapter, so I hope you like it.
Jillie chan: No don't worry, it's plenty different from the game for the most part, since I know it's kind of boring to read a story line over in a fic. Also, I didn't think it sounded like a flame, just you giving criticism, which I like from my reviewers.
Boongdaba: Well, here's more now
Jogging the four blocks to the Nasty Burger from his house, he walked through the glass doors to see Sam and Tuck already sitting at their usual table. Giving them a wave, he smiled and took his seat.
"Hey Danny," they said simultaneously as he flopped into the chair. They usually waited until they'd all arrived to get their food, so the two of them rose, making Danny roll his eyes and get up again to follow them.
Once the three of them had received their food and sat down once more, Danny decided to address the subject of the portal.
"Hey guys," he said, interrupting the quotes they were both reciting from the movie they'd seen the night before, "I think I have some ghost information"
"Oh, you mean the ghosts aren't too afraid to show their faces around here," Sam said, smirking in amusement at her own sarcastic retort.
"Sam, I'm serious, there's something really weird going on. There's this…this odd purplish mist around the ghost portal, and it's like there's a solid wall there. My mom says it's like the ghost zone has completely disappeared," said Danny.
"But…how can the whole ghost zone just disappear? That doesn't make any sense," said Tucker, fingering his French fries.
"I'm not really sure, but it would explain the lack of ghost activity around here. Except of course…there was this one ghost I've seen twice since yesterday. It's small and black, and has these antennas and beady yellow eyes. Both times I've seen it; it just seemed to disappear into thin air!" Danny replied.
"Danny, it's a ghost. Isn't that was ghosts do?" said Sam.
"Yeah, but usually they try to cause trouble or confront me or something. This one just disappeared. And the weird thing was, my ghost sense didn't go off either time I saw it…" he said, trailing off.
"Are you sure it's a ghost then," asked Tucker.
"Yeah, I guess. I mean, what else would it be?" asked Danny.
"I don't know, but maybe it has something to do with that weird stuff happening in the ghost zone?" he suggested.
"Maybe…" Danny started, but his sentence was interrupted by a loud and sudden crash from outside, followed by sounds of chaos and panic.
Looking at each other in confusing, the three bolted from the table and towards the bathrooms. Danny quickly ran into the boy's bathroom to transform and Sam and Tuck waited outside.
Danny changed quickly and flew back through the door. He went strait through the roof and Sam and Tuck followed him, deciding to use the restaurant's door instead.
Mass chaos reached their eyes when they made it outside. There were more ghosts on the street than Danny had ever seen in one place. He recognized them immediately. They were identical the strange ghost he'd seen recently. Wondering where they'd all come from, he darted toward the scene to get a closer look.
There seemed to be hundreds of the strange ghosts, and they practically covered the streets. The townsfolk were running in all directions to escape their line of attack. Strangely enough, the ghosts had not even left the ground. In fact, they seemed to practically sink into it, but Danny figured they were just going intangible.
Not wasting any more time, Danny swooped down and fired an ecto blast at one of the ghosts, who had been midway through leaping at a random woman. To his surprise, the ray vaporized the ghost on contact, and it disappeared in what appeared to be a cloud of black haze.
Danny was puzzled. He'd never seen one of his blasts have such an instantaneous effect on a ghost like that. Turning, he quickly fired at another, which disappeared in much the same way.
Sam and Tucker, who had followed Danny onto the street, were just as confused as he was. These things didn't even act like any of the ghosts they'd seen, and they were not exhibiting any of the normal powers either. Instead, they seemed to be leaping and slashing at people. However, having brought no weapons, Sam and Tuck were resigned to dodging the creatures as Danny continued to blast them.
Danny stopped for a moment to catch his breath. He must have taken out about a hundred of the ghost so far and it hadn't even seemed to make a dent in the amount that was now flooding the streets. If anything, they seemed to have multiplied. He stopped and looked around, suddenly seeing about ten more ghosts appear out of purple, swirling vortex-like portals that had seemingly appeared out of thin air.
Danny stopped in his tracks. He'd never seen ghosts appear out of thin air like that. And that mist…it was the exact mist that was now clouding the ghost portal! This battle was getting weirder by the second, and he wasn't sure he'd even be able to fight these strange creatures back.
Struck by a sudden idea, Danny turned and flew toward his house. He made it there quickly and went strait through the roof and into the basement. He quickly turned his eyes to the ghost portal, almost positive that it was where the strange creatures were coming from. However, he was shocked to find that the portal had completely disappeared. There was nothing there at all, not even the smallest sign that a machine had once been there. The wall ran smoothly from one end of the basement to the other.
Danny could find no explanation for this, but before he had time to think on the matter, five of the misty vortexes appeared, nearly filling the lab with the strange creatures that Danny was now thoroughly convinced were not ghosts.
Suddenly, he realized that he'd left Sam and Tuck, and a whole group of helpless people at the mercy of the creatures in front of the Nasty Burger. Suddenly twisting around, he shot back through the roof and back toward the initial scene of the attack.
Returning back on the scene and looking around, he realized that the chaos seemed to have increased ten fold in the thirty seconds he'd been missing. From above it appeared that the world below was a sea of black wiggling creatures, moving around crazily, the scene of chaos accompanied by screams of people below. The sight made Danny feel slightly sick, not to mention dizzy.
Trying to catch sight of Sam and Tuck in the creature's midst, he noticed that they had been backed into a corner by a group of the creatures. Feeling kind of helpless among the sheer numbers of the enemy, he quickly flew over to lend a hand. He was about to land and make sure they were alright, when suddenly something struck him in the back.
Danny suddenly felt very dizzy and felt himself teeter in the air, and another blow struck him before he could pull himself together. He felt his vision growing hazy and the last thing he saw was Sam and Tuck's worried expressions before he blacked out.
Well, there's chapter three, hope the plot was a bit more interesting here! Please leave a review and tell me what you though! I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible.
