AN: Dang this chapter took me 14 ½ hours to write, that's a personal best for me anyways sorry that the codemaster battle was so short, that's the way it was supposed to be. And how did you like the ghost zone and Ember coming into play. The dc/digimon crossover is still in the works, so be prepared for that to show up sometime this month. It's just taking me a while to come up with a good start to that particular story, if anybody wants to help with that just pm me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Tribeless Warrior chapter 3

The Ghost Zone

Last time on Tribeless Warrior:

"Welcome, Daniel Fenton. Chaotic Codename: Tribeless Warrior."

"GROUNDING GRAPPLE!"

"My name is…Lobokorexx

But at the Fenton household a green portal swirled into existence but Danny and his family could see a being that constantly changed shape and held a staff in his hand. Danny and his family got into battle ready positions to fight this possible threat… "Who are you and what do you want?"

Present time:

"Who are you and what do you want?" Danny asked

"I am the ghost of the past, present, and future but you may call me Clockwork. You have opened a portal to the ghost zone which houses the sixth tribe of Perim. I have come to warn you that if you venture into the portal you will be attacked and most likely die from the attacks so please stay here on earth for now and close the portal for your own safety."

"But this is the biggest discovery in the history of mankind why would…" Jack started to say but Danny put a hand on his shoulder and said "Dad, Clockwork is right and trust me when I say this the government would try to enslave the creatures of Perim and start a war we would not win even with our weaponized vehicles."

"But…fine, I'll close the portal." Jack said as he walked over to the console. "Thank you Daniel you will find a pleasant surprise next time you log into chaotic." Clockwork said as he changed into a young man, before going over to the portal, and waving good bye as he entered it. Jack then turned the portal off which surprisingly didn't cause another brief blackout. "Danny no matter how much it hurt me to turn off that portal due to it being a massive discovery, the pride I felt when you told me about the government most likely enslaving the creatures of Perim, outweighed the hurt and for that I thank you for opening my eyes that the creatures of Perim are just like us they are people too in a metaphorical sense." Jack said as he looked at his son with pride.

"You're welcome Dad. Now if you don't mind I'm going to bed for the time being seeing as how I have school tomorrow. Goodnight guys." Danny said as he walked up the stairs to his room. As he got ready for bed he thought to himself. "I wonder what the surprise clockwork told me about is. Oh well I'll find out when I send my mental avatar to chaotic."

A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER

Danny was walking into class and saw that Mr. Lancer wasn't there so he took out his scanner and pressed the button on the top to send his mental avatar to Chaotic while his real world self put away the scanner as Mr. Lancer walked in the door. "Class, please turn to chapter 3 of Vampirates: demons of the ocean." he said.

Meanwhile in Chaotic

Danny stood in the port court and walked towards a table to relax for a bit and plan out his day when his scanner beeped alerting him that he had a message. Danny pressed accept and saw that it was from Codemaster Amzen

"I recieved a message from Clockwork who told me to give you one of my ghost zone scans. I was hesitant at first but after he told me what happened at your house on earth I wanted to talk to you myself so meet me in my drome for a one on one match to determine if you are worthy of having a scan of the ghost zone. Don't worry this match will not be shown on the monitors in the port court or anywhere else in Chaotic.

Codemaster Amzen

To say Danny was shocked was an understatement, but he steeled his nerves and went to the Amzen drome. By the time he got there he had already thought of a plan.

"I see that you made it…go ahead and choose your set of cards." Amzen said as she docked her scanner. Danny did the same and the holographic board appeared. Danny chose Smildon, chorus of cothica, and Cannon of casualty, hey just because he doesn't ally with any of the tribes, it doesn't mean he won't use tribal mugic that could help him win a battle, destructozooka and Prexxor Chasm along with a few other locations, his attacks were all high powered. And he was set for his match

"Players lock your decks…Tribeless Warrior since you were challenged by Codemaster Amzen you get to initiate combat first. Spin the location randomizer and choose your attacking creature.

Danny spun the wheel and it landed on Prexxor Chasm. "Smildon attacks…what is your creature's name?" Danny asked

"His name is Skulker." Amzen said

"Ah…thank you, now Smildon attacks Skulker." Danny said as he clicked on the picture of his chosen creature only for a ring of alpha numeric code to appear around his body engulfing him while at the same time another ring of alphanumeric code appeared around Amzen engulfing her as well. The creature Danny turned into was a humanoid Smilodon with dark blue fur and bone spikes sticking out from his elbows while he wore a leather tunic while the creature Amzen turned into was a human with green hair that shot up like fire, he wore a black body suit, but he looked more like a cyborg then an actual human. There was a flash of light and both transformed players were teleported to Prexxor Chasm.

'Hmm, if I were to use my battlegear I could turn the tides in my favor…I think I will.' "Reveal Flux Bauble change the location to my liking." Skulker said as he Smildon jumped out of a bush and just in time for both of them to be transported to a floating island in a green and black location. "Flame breach! Vapor wipeout! Reveal Destructozooka, I chose water and water five! ALLMAGEDDON!" Smildon roared as he gained fire, air, and water then unleashed a gigantic maelstrom of attacks. 'Holy crap this kid is going all out.' Skulker thought to himself as he was blasted by the attack which dealt fifty-five damage to Skulker.

Just then a few notes of music were heard as Skulker called out "Ghost Elem Destruction, take away the elements from my enemy!" a beam of light appeared and struck Smildon erasing the element that he had and the elements he gained from the attacks and battlegear. "Ghostly Stampede!" Skulker called out as he shot five green skeletal horses from his body, which surrounded Smildon and attacked him by using him as a ping pong ball and kicking him with their hooves, bringing Smildon down to forty energy. 'Crap I need to use my mugics soon if I am going to win this.' Smildon thought to himself as he dodged the next attack from Skulker, "Mis Barrage!" Skulker said as he shot missiles from ports all over his body, but as Smildon was dodging he was grazed by a small missile thus making the attack effective and bringing Smildon to ten energy. 'Now's the time' "Chorus of Cothica, allow me to use tribal mugic. "CANNON OF CASULTY!" Smildon roared as a beam of light hit him while another hit Skulker coding him in the process.

"Interesting…you used generic mugic to give you the ability to code me using tribal mugic. I assumed you wouldn't use TRIBAL mugic due to your dislike of the tribes." Amzen said as she turned back into herself. "Yeah I thought that would throw you for a loop and I may dislike the tribes but this is a game about strategy so I had to come up with a plan to beat you. Mainly because you're a codemaster and I'm not one to underestimate an opponent even if they are a woman because women can be just as strong as men in a lot of ways." Danny said

"Well thank you for not underestimating women in general and thank you for respecting me as a woman instead of being like most of those arrogant jerks. You will find a ghost zone location scan in a message within the hour. I wish you luck on all your future matches, good bye young Daniel." Amzen said as she left the drome.

Danny just left for the port courts and waited for the message to appear. Sure enough within an hour's time a message appeared with a code. Danny inputted the code into his scanner and watched as the location of the ghost zone appeared. Once it was fully uploaded he walked over to the port area and selected the ghost zone location and pressed the middle button on the bottom of his scanner, he then disappeared in a swirl of alphanumeric code.

Meanwhile back on Earth.

Danny was eating lunch with Sam and Tucker when Dash came over and proceeded to jam his elbow into Danny's head which forced Danny's head down into the mashed potatoes he was eating. Danny got a huge bump on the back of his head and was groaning in pain but didn't do a thing because he promised his mom that he wouldn't react in anger, "what's the matter Fen-turd can't eat your mashed potatoes like a normal human so you have to eat them like a freak?" Dash said with a sneer, Kwan who is on the same football team as Dash saw this and thought that Dash was going a bit too far so he proceeded to steer Dash away from Danny, Sam, and Tucker. He looked back at the trio and mouthed "sorry" to them.

Sam and Tucker nodded in thanks and took Danny to the infirmary but after explaining what happened to the nurse and getting an eye witness report from Kwan, Danny was sent home for the day with a note detailing what happened so he could let his parents know. Sam and Tucker promised to bring Danny the homework he missed to his house so he can keep up with his studies. Danny nodded in thanks and waited for his mother to come pick him up.

Meanwhile back in Perim, specifically the ghost zone

Danny was wondering around only to slip and fall when he wasn't paying attention, he was about to scream when he was caught by two hands. "Whoa there dipstick be more careful next time." A female sounding voice said as Danny was set back on solid ground. Danny turned to get a good look at his rescuer. It was a human girl with pale skin but dressed in all black with the only difference being her skull grey boots as well as her guitar. Her hair was done in a ponytail and looked like blue fire while her eyes were an electric green. "You ok there?" she asked

"Yeah just getting a good look at my rescuer so I remember to thank them the next time I see them. The name's Daniel Fenton but my friends call me Danny, what's your name?" Danny asked as he stuck out his hand for a hand shake which the girl gripped and said "I'm Ember, and you must be a chaotic player right?"

"Yes that's true but how did you know?" Danny asked in confusion while Ember just chuckled, "Well first of all, that scanner on your hip says it all. Second, we of the ghost zone hear things through the grapevine sometimes. We also know that all chaotic players specialize in one of the five remaining tribes."

"Five? But I thought there were only four?" Danny asked

"no, there are the Overworld, Underworld, Mipedians, Danians, and M'arrillian tribes along with the Ghost tribe of which I am part of." Ember said

"M'arrillians? If they are the fifth tribe, then where are they?" Danny asked, at that Ember frowned and said "at first they were locked behind the Doors of the Deepmines but they were recently unleashed upon Perim…and have tried to take over but are slowly being pushed back."

"Hmm they must be pretty terrifying if they have to be pushed back into the Doors of the Deepmines."

"Yeah but that's only because the chieftains specialize in brainwashing. They haven't found out about this part of Perim yet so that's a good thing. By the way if I were you I would stay away from the rest of Perim for right now."

"Alright then I might as well get going so I don't get into any trouble." Danny said as he got up from where he was sitting. "Hey Danny? You never did tell me what tribe you specialize in." Ember said

"Oh I don't specialize in any tribe due to the point that the war over the cothica is pointless to me but I do specialize in TRIBELESS creatures." Danny said

"Well then scan me and see the world through the eyes of the ghost tribe. I will even let you scan my guitar and the mugic I have on me." Ember said as she stood up and took off her guitar, she reached into a compartment on her guitar and brought out a green crystal heptagon. Danny brought his scanner and scanned Ember, along with her guitar and the mugic. "Hmm the guitar of mugic and Ghostia Locatia, interesting. Thanks Ember." Danny said happily as he looked at Ember with a smile on his face.

"No problem Danny. Just be careful around those M'arrillians. See you later." Ember Said as she floated off deeper into the Ghost zone. Danny just ported back to chaotic to get something to eat and return his mental avatar back to his physical body

Meanwhile back on earth

Danny was resting while talking to his mom about what happened when he noticed a flashing light coming from his scanner. He pressed the top button on his scanner and a flood of memories came rushing into his head which made him grab it in pain because he was still suffering from the bump. But when he recovered he looked at his mom excitedly "hey mom you will never believe what I did in chaotic today."

"What did you do?" Maddie asked

"I battled a codemaster, and got a rare location scan. I also found out that the Doors of the Deepmines have been opened and unleased the fifth Tribe, the M'arrillians, onto Perim and scanned a creature battlegear and mugic from the sixth Tribe, the ghost tribe."

"Who did you battle and are you saying that you were able to scan a ghost?" Maddie asked with growing excitement. "Yes I was, I will pull up each scan to show you." Danny said as he did that showing his mother the new scans he got. Maddie looked over the scans and saw that the creature known as Ember was just barely being fleshed out in the branch she worked for. Thanks to working for the informational tech department she would get notices on what's coming out in new sets and knew that this information would be good to finally release a few creatures as well as locations, mugic, attacks, and battlegear. But she would wait until tomorrow to let her boss know because her son came first. She saw Danny getting tired and said "go to sleep Danny you have school in the morning and don't worry I will talk to the principal tomorrow morning to allow you to use what you have learned from me in self-defense."

"Alright, good night mom." Danny said as he closed his eyes and was out like a light. Maddie just smiled and walked out of the room.

THE NEXT DAY

Maddie drove her son to school and went into the principal's office with her son only to find out that Principal Ishiyama was talking with her son Kwan

"Mrs. Ishiyama I would like for my son Daniel Fenton to use what I have taught him in martial arts in self-defense." Maddie said as Principal Ishiyama nodded in understanding.

"Very well I was just talking with my son here about the incident that happened yesterday during lunch. I will write a permission note for Daniel Fenton to use self-defense if necessary." She said as she wrote the note

"Thank you, Mrs. Ishiyama." Maddie said as she got up and shook hands with the principal.

Meanwhile Danny was sitting outside the principal's office when Dash walked over and started harassing him. "So you came back after eating like a freak…eh Fenton?" Dash said with a sneer as he grabbed Danny by the collar. Just then Kwan, Maddie and Principal Ishiyama came out of the office. Maddie just walked over with the note in hand and pushed Dash out of the way. "HEY! You can't do that to me!" Dash yelled out,

"On the contrary young man I can, seeing as how you were manhandling my son." Maddie said to Dash in a condescending tone as she turned back to her son making sure he was alright. At this display of courage Dash got mad and went to slap her but Danny caught the wrist and twisted it causing Dash to cry out in pain "No one and I mean NO ONE will ever lay a finger on my mom. Do…you…understand…Baxter?" Danny growled out as Dash whimpered and nodded yes.

"I can't hear you. Say it louder for everyone to hear." Danny said as Dash finally said "ok I understand." Danny let go of Dash's wrist and whispered something in Principal's Ishiyama's ear, "Mr. Baxter seeing as how you tried to assault an adult and a woman at that I should have you arrested on the spot but Danny wants to give you a chance to redeem yourself so you are getting detention for two months and your football and basketball team privileges revoked and you are not able to join any other sport team. Maybe this will teach you some humility and let you grow as a person. Do you understand?" principal Ishiyama said with a tone of finality as Dash nodded in reluctant acceptance. "Now get to class all of you." Principal Ishiyama said as Dash and Kwan left to go to their class which they had a few minutes to get to while Danny just hugged his mom and wished her a good day at work. After he left Principal Ishiyama turned to Maddie and said "your son will make a fine man in the future, I hope you know that Mrs. Fenton."

"I know and I'm already proud of him."

And if you will notice in this chapter there is a book title called Vampirates: demons of the ocean. It's a real book and I figured that since Mr. Lancer is an English teacher he would sometimes bring in a set of books for his class to read and give their opinions on as well give homework about it. It's a good book too and the start of a series of books by the same name of Vampirates and its written by Justin Somper, a British author. Anyways it's 5:43 am while I'm writing this author's note and I have to get ready for work so I hope you guys enjoy the chapter and have a great morning/day/afternoon/evening/night wherever you are
