I only own my OC, Taylor, I do not own Tess, Qwark, Bentley, Dimitri, or The Grizz.

Taylor, Tess, and Qwark were surprised of what they see. What supposed to be a dungeon, but it looked like a dungeon themed disco area, but no one was around, except someone manning the D.J. station.
The D.J. was a purple marine iguana with eyelids that are blue and baggy, a large blue crest that mimics hair, as well as a blue 'goatee,' wears a green jacket with a large collar over an orange tank-top, green pants held up by a large gold buckle, rings on his fingers, orange socks and shoes. (Imagine how he was before Thieves in Time.)
Bentley soon said through his communicator, "What the?! Dimitri Lousteau?! Taylor put me on speaker!" Taylor sets her communicator to speakers, as Bentley asked, "Dimitri! Can you hear me?!"
Dimitri stopped a bit, and said, "I know that bossy and intelligent voice anywhere, my old acquaintance, Bentley, like a dancefloor, if it can feel with people dancing, I am very happy to see my dear old shelled reptilian friend."
"I doubt that for what am I seeing here. What are you doing here? Have you decided to work on Nosfearatu and go back to the ways of a criminal?" Bentley asked.
Dimitri replied, "No, old friend, when my show, 'Disco Diver' ended for the season, I was found and taken by big floating man."
"Krew," Taylor said.
"Correct, girl," Dimitri said, paused, then continued, "Gas ball told me that I was to be escorted to Nosfearatu's crib, inside this here dungeon, but then it was made as a party for season finale of my show."
Taylor looked around and said, "Well, I don't see any dancers around here."
"That's because the guests here are unfinished dudes and dudettes that are invisible, for they came from old sights and not came around from places, they might be visible if there is something that can be able to let them be seen," Dimitri said.
Taylor soon thought, and said, "Oh, I get it, I can see some ghosts who are the dancers by using the ability I got from the fifth world, Median Vision." Taylor looked at something else, and saw a door, and it has four targets on it. She soon said, "I bet that door is where the Grizz is located, but even with targets there, I doubt it will still be easy."
Dimitri soon said, "Why don't you talk to the spectral dudes and dudettes, they might give you hints of perfect combination to get into Grizz's domain, but you need to find specific ones who are under the category of aristocracy ways."
Taylor smiled, and said, "Good idea," she looks at Tess and Qwark, and said, "I suggest you two should stay here with Dimitri, while I talk to the guests," Tess and Qwark then nodded in agreement, while Tess jumps on Qwark's shoulder, and Taylor goes down to the dancefloor. She soon puts on her goggles and set them to Median Vision. She soon sees some ghosts dancing around in the area, unknown why ghosts are there, but she might get some hints of how to open the door. She first talks to a ghost that looks like a Victorian era noblewoman, and asked, "Hello milady, I am wondering if you know a way of opening the door?"
The ghost replied in an English accent, "I don't know anything, but I know you got to first shoot the target that is far on the top left side of the door."
"Thanks," Taylor said, she soon looks around more, avoiding touching the ghosts, so that she doesn't disrupt any dancing, despite they will go through her. She soon goes to another ghost, who looks like a Chinese Nobleman. She soon asked him, "Greetings milord, do you have any hints of how to open the door?"
The ghost replied, "I did remember seeing that the target on the bottom right was shot last."
Taylor smiled, and said, "Thanks for the hint," then went to ask some more ghosts. She eventually found another ghost, once again avoid touching the other ghosts, this ghost looked like an Old Western rich gentleman. She soon asked him after bowing, "Hello there, sir do you by any chance have some hints on to opening the door over there?"
The man looks at the door, and replied in a Western accent, "I did remember that the target on the top right was shot before the last one."
"Thank you, sir," Taylor said, and went to find one more ghost to ask, trying to avoid touching the ghost to disrupt their dancing as well. She soon finds the final ghost, who looks like another noblewoman, who this time is from Feudal Japan. She soon asked after bowing as well, "Evening milady, I need is a hint to open that door, do you by any chance know anything?"
The noblewoman replied after looking at the door, "I did remember that after the first target was shot, the target on the bottom left."
"Thank you so much, milady," Taylor said, she soon goes back to her friends, and said, "Okay, I got the order to open door, top left target first, bottom left second, then top right third, and bottom right last."
Qwark soon said, "Don't worry, I got this," he took out his blaster, and blasted the targets at the right order, causing the door to open.
Dimitri soon takes a mic on his D.J. table, and said, "Okay dancers, D.J. Dimitri on the mic her to give a shout out say that the party is now over, please return to your haunts and locations, but this was an excellent party I had thrown down, peace out!" Taylor soon used Median Vision and sees the ghosts leaving through the walls and ceilings, then Dimitri soon said, "A little advice, don't hurt Grizz too much, I plan to get this rapping bear to be new partner once I bail him out and turn back on the lights on my night club with money from my show and deep-sea spelunking. It will be Greasy Sweet with maybe some diving lessons for people, after I get license, and even have ice skate rink for my partner as well. So, Dimitri wishes you luck Fear Girl, you might need it."
"Thanks for the confidence, Dimitri and don't worry, I won't hurt Grizz that much," Taylor said, as she, Tess, and Qwark went to the new area.
In this area, the location was like an ice-skating rink, where a bear, who is the Grizz, doing some figure skating. Grizz soon sees the group, and said, "Well, well, it's about time, for the waiting was just fine."
Taylor soon said, "Grizz, I don't want to fight you, under the orders of Dimitri for he thinks of you as a partner, he even thinks for an ice-skating rink when he reopens his night club."
Grizz thought for a moment, and said, "I think you and I could do a compromise of a challenge for you and me, beat me in a figure skating competition and you can have the Treasure Key."
Taylor thought, and said, "I accept your challenge."
Soon the figure skating competition was ready, Qwark, Tess, and Dimitri were the judges, and the music began, with Grizz starting.

Grizz begins to do some great figure skating moves, until the music was over, with a perfect score from the judges.
Taylor soon was next, she started with the music. At first, she feels scared, but then she begins to feel the rhythm of the music, and this caused Grizz to be surprised a bit, and once the music was over, she stopped and bowed after a spin.
She even got a perfect ten as well, making the score a tie. Grizz soon said, "Well, that was some of the best skating I saw, despite the competition ended in draw," he paused, then asked, "How did you know how to skate, for I think this was the first time you do this I take?"
Taylor replied, "I remembered the dance I did to beat Mz. Ruby, who I gave of a consolation prize of the hand a friendship, I just had to do what I did back then, which is to go with the rhythm."
Grizz soon said, "You have a great rhythm Taylor, for I am being nice, to forfeit the competition, so none of us would be put on ice."
Taylor soon asked, "Before you give me the key, I need to ask, what do you know of the weapon that Nosfearatu is working on?"
Grizz replied, "The weapon would put waves in the air, causing people to see and feel their worst nightmares," he soon puts his hand in his pocket, and out came an object to give to Taylor, "But that's all I know, but back to this as we agree, take the prize, which is a Treasure Key."
Taylor nodded in agreement, and took the Key from Grizz, with that she now has the four Treasure Keys for the door in the lobby.
Sorry for the delay, seems Spring Break and other things like gameplaying really puts some delays. Now Taylor has all four Treasure Keys, and she has now defeated, sort of, the last escapee, which means she paid her debt to society and will get her pardon from Carmelita. But what will happen next after the lobby? Anyway, if you're reading this, thanks for reading this, and thank youtubers VGMUnlimited and Australium Doll, who I used for the music and ambiance.
