Danny continued to light the way with his ecto-energy, but so far they couldn't find Dani or the pirates. Danny found a sheltered spot and said, "We'll camp here for the night and continue our search in the morning."
"Uh….you guys get some sleep. I'll keep first watch." Tucker offered, a little nervous about camping on the island.
Danny laid down, dimming his energy down until it was completely dark and he and Jazz instantly went to sleep. Tucker nervously continued to keep watch, even though it was dark. Something about the island made his fears go up and he had a feeling he wasn't going to get any sleep that night.
He suddenly heard the sound of growling and he was unaware that several pairs of eyes were watching them from behind. He pulled out a torch and turned it on, and saw that they were surrounded by dozens of what appeared to be tribal looking ghosts and humans.
He screamed in fright which woke up Danny and Jazz and before Danny could do anything, they had grabbed him and tied him up with ecto-rope, cancelling out his powers and they grabbed Jazz and Tucker and started dragging them all away deeper into the island's jungles.
Skulker led the way as Dani followed the map, with him using the compass. Freakshow then noticed something and called out to the front, "Skulker, look!"
They all looked over to a dead tree and on that dead tree, were the hanging remains of what appeared to be several dead pirates. Skulker merely shrugged and said, "Pariah Dark hung them up there after he ended their lives, to mark the trail to the treasure."
However, all the other pirates got a little bit nervous about the sight. Skulker merely chuckled as he said, "Wicked sense of humour old Dark he had."
"Beware! For it is a sign that this place is cursed!" Box Ghost said, truly spooked even for a ghost.
"Well that's an informed opinion." Skulker said, not believing in any kind of curse. He turned to Dani and asked, "Alright Dani girl, where to from here?"
Dani read the next part of the map out loud, "At the heading of one hundred and seventy nine degrees, walk three hundred and twelve paces from where the dead men hang high."
Skulker looked down at the compass and used it to point the way, he then pointed the direction and said, "Let's go. It's that way."
Meanwhile Danny, Jazz and Tucker were taken to the tribe's main camp and tied up on stakes. A huge plant like ghost then approached them and sneered, "Well….A half-ghost boy and his flesh dweller friends. I am Undergrowth! High Priest of the Tribe. You have trespassed on our island and for that, you shall suffer the wrath of our queen. Queen Gothica!"
Tucker whined in fear and said sarcastically, "Terrific! Captured by crazy tribal ghosts and humans and now we're about to be sacrificed before a Pagan Alter!"
"Well….I'm sure we'll figure a way out of this." Jazz said hopefully.
"SILENCE! You have violated our sacred island!" Undergrowth roared in anger. "Just like the one who called himself Pariah Dark!"
"Umm…Listen, my name is Captain Danny Fenton." Danny spoke, trying to show that they meant no harm. "We mean no harm to you or your tribe. We embrace every one of all nationalities. You see our sister…"
"SILENCE I SAID!" Undergrowth roared once more, silencing Danny and he dared not say more.
"Bring forth, Queen Gothica!" Undergrowth announced.
"This….is definitely not good." Jazz whispered.
A gong was heard and suddenly, all the tribe members and tiki statues began to chant in praise for their queen. Drums then began to play as the chanting continued, and most of the tribe members began to dance around the alter to the rhythm of the drums.
The miniature ghost tourists had set up tables and chairs and were just watching as if it was a huge show.
"These tropical shows are so exotic." One of them complimented.
"Yes and the food is to die for." The other one said.
The chanting and music continued as an elephant holding a carriage covered with flowers started heading towards the alter. One of the tribal men cut the ropes keeping Danny, Jazz and Tucker tied to their stakes and several tribe men forced them to bow as the elephant went behind the alter and stopped.
The music then stopped and all of the tripe bowed as they all shouted, "QUEEN GOTHICA!"
The curtain of the carriage pulled back, revealing a 22 year old woman wearing a dark green sleeveless sort of jumpsuit, dark green boots, a dark green cape, and dark green gloves. Her black hair was down and she had a small pony tail at the top. Around her neck, was a golden necklace with a green gem in the middle.
She climbed off the carriage and gave the elephant a pat on its trunk as she said, "Well done my friend."
Danny, Jazz and Tucker looked up and Danny's suddenly gasped and his eyes widened as he recognised the woman standing before them. She began to walk down the stairs, until she accidentally tripped over one of Undergrowth's vines and fell down.
She groaned as she got back up and snapped at Undergrowth, "How many times have I told you to be careful with those vines?!"
"Sorry my queen." Undergrowth apologised.
She turned at the others and began to speak to them, "Greetings. I am Queen Gothica or my actual name is Sam Manson. Marooned and now queen of this…."
Her eyes widened as soon as she saw Danny and gasped. Danny stood up and the two walked over to each other and just stood there staring at each other.
"Danny? Is that really you?" Sam asked, still in shock.
"Sam! It is me!" Danny said, smiling at her.
Sam however, didn't return the smile. She pulled out of her shock and frowned and before Danny could do anything, everyone watched in complete shock as she delivered a powerful punch which sent him flying right through the air and crashing straight into the gong.
Danny shook as he stood up from the impact of the gong, while the tribal man looked at him wondering why she punched him. He looked at the man and answered his question, "Old girlfriend."
With that final word, he collapsed unconscious from when his head hit the gong. Sam then ordered, "TIE THEM BACK ON THEIR STAKES! I'll handle this later!"
