The Tribeless warrior

by Shadow Tsunami Dragon Slayer

"Having been isolated from his peers in a social sense, Danny has never allied himself with any of the four tribes of Chaotic. In fact, He tends to avoid them and all players that are allied with them. But one day when he gets a package from the makers of chaotic, what will happen to the loner known as Danny Fenton." Slight au, danny is not half ghost

8. The Knight of Fright and The infection

The Tribeless Warrior chapter 5

The Knight of Fright and the infection of a new Danian

Danny had just ported into Chaotic and was looking for anybody to challenge when his scanner started to vibrate. He picked it up and saw that he was getting a call from a random scanner number asking for a video call, he pressed accept and saw that it was Codemaster Crellan. The image was that of a mask with gold veins running through it. "Daniel, I normally wouldn't ask this of a regular player and I would normally go myself but I have a few battles I must accept and participate in but I feel like I can trust you. I need you to go to a location in the ghost zone and check on something for me, I will be sending a message to you with the details and the location. If you accept I will allow you to keep the location scan and you will be allowed to scan any two of these options that you wish, you may scan a creature, mugic, attack, BattleGear or another location."

"Of course, Codemaster. I will be by the Port Court waiting for your message. Danny out." Danny ended the call and began his trek over to the Port Court.

Halfway to his destination his scanner began ringing again. He checked the message and a masked hologram appeared in front of him, "Danny." Said the hologram, "The location I have sent you is one of great evil and corruption. It is known to the few who have survived visiting as, 'Fright Castle.'…" the hologram paused and the figure uploaded the scan to the device. "This should provide safe routes and locations. It also contains a list of people who may be safe to approach if you ever run into trouble and need anything. I may have said before but I do not normally give missions like this to normal players. Despite that, I believe you are the only one capable of handling this mission. I will give you details as you progress. For your protection as well as mine." The figure cocked his head in a gesture oddly resembling an ancient nod of respect. "Good luck, Daniel Fenton." The hologram of the figure vanished as Danny's device pinged, notifying him the download was complete. He glanced at the scan once it locked and loaded. He stared uneasily at the name of the scan, "huh, spooky name for a spooky location." Danny muttered to himself as he ported to the location in a swirl of alpha-numeric code

Deep within the nether realms of Chaotic, in a pocket of encoded space corrupted beyond mortal conception, a pair of red eyes pulsing with basic code sparkled with malicious glee, "Good. Everything is going according to my plans."

Within a swirl of alpha-numeric code, Danny appeared on the outskirts of a small village. He looked around and saw a path leading upwards to a dark medieval castle. Danny began his journey to the castle. Along the way, he saw glowing sets of eyes disappear behind doors and windows. He could not tell whether the eyes belonged to NPC, or to actual players. As he walked around he found a building where the door was open. He walked inside and saw an actual demon, a humanoid being with black wings, red skin, curled black horns, while wearing a trench coat and blue pants. "Welcome to my shop laddie what can I help you with?" the demon said

"What's your name sir?" Danny asked curious as to who this demon was but internally he was wary of this demon. "My name is Dragovitch laddie, now I gave you mine, what is yours?" the now named Dragovitch said

"My name is Daniel Fenton but I go by Danny, and I'm a Chaotic player." Danny said as Dragovitch nodded "we don't get too many of those around here. So, what brings you around these parts, Daniel?"

Just as Danny was about to answer he got a call on his scanner. Checking it he saw it was from Codemaster Crellan. "Daniel, I see that you stopped a couple hundred feet from the hill leading to Fright Castle, what seems to be the problem?" Crellan said

"I met this creature that goes by the name of Dragovitch we were just talking before you called." Danny said

"Creature? Hmm there shouldn't be a creature there unless you count the demons as creatures…" Crellan said before being interrupted by Dragovitch "You do realize I can hear everything you're saying…right…Codemaster Crellan."

"How do you know of me demon, and how is it that you can hear the conversation when the conversation is encrypted beyond the most skilled hackers?" Crellan said as his hologram turned to face Dragovitch, "Hmm interesting a demon that hasn't being corrupted by the energies of this place. You're like a speck of grey in a sea of black. How did you arrive here sir?" Crellan asked

"In simple terms, I died and then arrived here." Dragovitch said as Danny flinched back in sadness "I'm sorry to hear that Dragovitch, but can you elaborate please?" Crellan asked as Dragovitch nodded. "I had died a long, long time ago but as I was about to go to purgatory to find out if I was going to heaven or hell I was swept up by a twister of numbers and changed into what you see before you now. Then I woke up here and how do I know of you codemaster crellan? Well I should be able to recognize my old friend isn't that right Kenneth?" Dragovitch said as Codemaster Crellan gasped in shock… "No one should know my full first name except for my parents and…one other person but he's…dead…NO WAY! DARIUS DRAGOVITCH?!"

"Codemaster Crellan, you know Dragovitch?" Danny asked as the hologram of Codemaster Crellan nodded. "We were friends before Darius "died". Daniel, you need to continue your mission, Dragovitch I will come by and visit you later I still have some drome matches to complete and my next one is in fifteen minutes."

"Very well Kenneth I shall see you later. But before you go Daniel," Dragovitch said as he reached down and grabbed something from behind the counter before tossing it to Daniel who almost dropped to the ground from the sheer weight of the item, "If you want to get a scan of that be my guest but you might need it when you get to the doors of Fright Castle."

"Thank you, Mr. Dragovitch, I will scan it right now." Danny said as he set the item down before unwrapping it only to see it was a beautifully crafted sword. Danny scanned the sword before wrapping it back up and placing across his back. He nodded to Dragovitch and left promptly.

As Danny pushed open the gates he saw that the hill to Fright Castle was pretty steep, he sighed and started the trek up the hill. Meanwhile in a tree near the top of the hill a small creature was rooted to a branch upside down, it opened one eye before letting go of the branch, falling to the ground before it started to flap its wings and fly into the castle. "Hmm so the human is making his way to my castle and he has the Sword of Nightmares, Interesting, well our guest will make his way here and when he does he will regret it." A voice said as red knight armor appeared around the mystery person.

Danny had just walked inside the castle and was walking around before finding a door that was closed…opening it he saw on a pedestal a purple Halloween pumpkin with a scary face. He walked around looking at it before noticing a glow coming from behind him. He turned around and was immediately scanning his surroundings before notice another glow coming from behind him. He turned his head sideways to see that the sword itself was glowing, he took it off his back and saw that the whole sword was faintly glowing and the closer he got to the purple pumpkin the brighter the glow. Being wary of this Danny left the room.

As he was walking around some more he found another room filled to the brim with swords armors, and other Battlegear along with a wall of Mugic with each one being incased in a cube of glass. He saw Mugics ranging in colors of blue, red, yellow, brown, black, silver, and green. "hmm the blue Mugic is Overworld, red is underworld mugic, yellow is Mipedian Mugic, brown is Danian Mugic, black, is most likely the M'arrillians style of Mugic, silver is Generic Mugic, and green is Ghostly Mugic. But none of these are ones I have seen so these must have been lost to the ages. I better let Codemaster Crellan know." Danny said to himself as he texted a message to Codemaster Crellan. Within five minutes he got a response

"Daniel please scan as many Mugics as your scanner will allow, especially the M'arrillian Mugic…as a heads-up the M'arrillians are back behind the Doors of the Deep Mines so its safe to go back to Perim. Also, please scan at least one more copy of each mugic so me and the other codemasters can determine if they are safe to use in drome battles. And keep a scan of each for yourself but don't use them until we deem them safe." – Codemaster Crellan

Danny nodded in acceptance of that before backing up and pointing his scanner at the wall. To even start the scanning process, he had to checkmark a few boxes that popped up on his scanner screen to make sure he could hold all the Mugic in his scanner. It took him forty-five minutes to have the whole wall scanned. He sent a copy of each scan to Codemaster Crellan before walking around some more.

As Danny left the room he saw a creature that he had never seen before. It was a suit of knight armor that stood twelve feet tall but the color of the armor was not silver it was blood red, and the eyes were a dark blue, he saw the Creature walking towards him at a brisk pace. "You know human I was going to let you come to me so I may get my sword back but since I found out you STOLE all those Mugics from my castle and therefore you stole from me so I decided to meet up with you myself." The knight said

"What? I didn't steal anything! and the Mugics are still there if you must know." Danny said as he looked for a way out of this mess. But the knight didn't bother to hear what Danny had to say because he cocked back his fist and threw it forward intending on fighting Danny. Danny had ducked just in time to go under the knight and turn and scan the Creature twenty percent before having to run away, as the knight turned around to chase him.

Danny ran as fast as his legs could carry him before he turned a corner and saw a shelf that had nothing on it so Danny jumped onto the shelf and parkoured his way up to a chandelier that was hanging from the ceiling. The knight that was following him turned the corner just as Danny had stopped the chandelier from making too much noise from the constant swinging. As the knight looked around for Danny, Danny restarted the scanning process and was about eighty-five percent of having the knight scanned when the knight noticed him.

The knight immediately charged up an attack and fired right at Danny now intending to kill him. Danny had just enough time to jump down from the chandelier landing in a crouch before running off again looking back for a second to see the chandelier on fire. 'That knight Creature is actually trying to kill me. What do I do? How am I going to survive…wait a minute in Chaotic and in Perim I am made of code right? So, shouldn't I be able to do Attacks like the Creatures in Perim can? It's worth a shot but I have to get this guy cornered somehow…that's it! I'll just lead him back to that room with the purple pumpkin.' Danny thought to himself as he moved faster than his real body could, he appeared in the first room he went to.

He hid behind a pillar as the knight came bursting in. as the knight looked around he yelled out "COME OUT HUMAN! I KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE!" Danny finally finished the scan of the knight creature before looking at it noticing the knight creature was called Knightmare and had fire and water elements. Thinking of a quick plan, Danny came out of his hiding place and yelled out "EMBERWHIP!" taking the sword off his back, which transformed into a whip, and hit Knightmare in the back with the whip doing fifteen damage total to the knight. Knightmare turned around and shot an Emberswarm Attack at Danny who leapt to the right to dodge the attack. But as he did so he accidently let go of the whip which, while in mid-air, turned back into a sword.

The sword landed in the pumpkin and Knightmare laughed maniacally "Though it was a surprise to see a human use an Attack and while I must commend you for your bravery and tenacity, it's all over now. You have no weapon and said weapon is stuck in the Fright Knights pumpkin…oh crap…I forgot my Brother was sealed in the pumpkin." Knightmare said as he realized what would happen, "well this sucks." Knightmare said as the purple pumpkin's eyes glowed bright green. "Yes, this does suck…for you Brother!" an ethereal voice said as the pumpkin exploded into pieces before the pieces came together in a tornado before dispersing once again to show another suit of armor but this one was different and yet similar, in design, to Knightmare's armor. This suit was purple in color, the eyes were a bright green and the suit had a black cloak that billowed in the wind.

"Who are you?" Danny asked still wary and cautious of the newcomer

"I am Fright Knight and I must thank you young Daniel for freeing me from my prison where I have been trapped there for nine solons. in return I will allow you to scan me and scan a Mugic that you didn't see in the armory of MY castle…which reminds me brother…dost thou need a lesson in proper etiquette again?" the now named Fright Knight said as he turned to his brother who was whimpering in cowardice. "N-no brother. I don't need another lesson, I'm sorry that I sealed you back in your prison please don't bring the ghost hog back I won't do it again I promise." Knightmare said as he trembled in fear. "Daniel please scan this Mugic and me now then get out of here, because what I am about to do to my brother is not for human eyes." Fright Knight said as he stuck his hand in a swirling green vortex and pulled out a green Mugic. Danny just scanned the Mugic and Fright Knight before turning to leave the room.

"Oh and Danny…" Danny turned his head to the side, "…You are always welcome here if you wish to talk and beware of a Creature named Plasmius. He's bad news, ok?" Fright Knight said as Danny nodded and left the castle.

"Now Brother…The ghost hog cometh!"

"NO! ANYTHING BUT THE GHOST HOG!"

"SQEEE!"

"NO NOT THE FACE! NOT THE FACE! AHHHHH!

Danny shivered as he heard the screams of Knightmare echoing around the village. As soon as he got to the base of the village he called Codemaster Crellan, "Codemaster Crellan…the mission is complete I'm porting back to the port court immediately." Danny said into the speaker

"Good Codemaster Amzen will be relieved to hear that. You look troubled Daniel, what seems to be the problem?" Codemaster Crellan asked

"Well…are Chaotic players supposed to be able to use Creature Attacks?" Danny said bluntly

"Wait…are you telling me you used a Creature Attack?" Codemaster Crellan asked in shock. Danny sighed and explained what happened to him and his thoughts about the ability. "Danny while this is definitely shocking, amazing and exciting I suggest you don't mention this to anybody and I mean anybody…if word got out that Chaotic players could do the same things Creatures could it would mean war between Perim and Earth and that could be very catastrophic now port back to the port court and have a well-deserved rest. You've earned it." Codemaster Crellan said as he cut the transmission and Danny ported back to the hub where he ordered some food realizing he was very hungry.

Meanwhile in the Underworld, a meeting between Chaor, Agitos and Takinom was taking place in the throne room. "Lord Chaor I have found evidence that Asadab has betrayed us as a minion to the M'arrillians and he did it willingly." Agitos said

"Are you sure Agitos? I don't doubt your word but I want to make sure that my next action will be the right thing to do, now that we are in a time of peace not seen for thousands of de-solons." Chaor said as Agitos nodded his head however Takinom was confused, "If Agitos's suspicions prove to be true, what would be your next action my Lord?" she asked

"You'll see soon enough…Agitos do you have physical evidence of Asadab's betrayel?" Chaor asked

"Yes, Lord Chaor… I have it on a voice recorder that Khybon made from stuff lying around in his workshop." Agitos said as he brought out what looked to be a crude and primitive version of a modern-day voice recorder on Earth.

"…That damn Chaor making us work to make up for something we had no control over, at least under the M'arrillians us brainwashed creatures had it easy, just help take over Perim…peeyew this crap stinks, Chaor should be doing this instead of me I wish there was a Mugic that could force Chaor to bow down to me… oh yeah I'm also a Muge I could invent a new Mugic that could do exactly that…" Asadabs voice came out of the voice recorder and that was all Chaor needed to hear…knowing that the Danians considered loyalty to the queen to be the most powerful trait amongst them, Chaor whistled to signal a messenger bat to fly down to him. Sticking out it's leg Chaor took a small roll of parchment and sat at the desk that was located behind the throne and wrote down a message

"Dear Queen Illexia of the Danians

I have an member of my tribe who is displaying traitorous behavior and as I was thinking of a punishment for the member I remembered that the Danian Tribe instills loyalty in all of their members and that the Danian Parasites can turn a member of a different tribe into a Danian, so I was wondering if we could make a deal to more solidify the peace between our two tribes. I would like to offer you a free "subject" in exchange of making said subject loyal to both of us. I will even throw in a rare Battlegear or two for your troubles? Do we have a deal?

Signed Chaor, leader of the Underword Tribe"

Chaor took the message and rolled it back up, placed it in the messenger bat's pouch and said "Take that to Queen Illexia of the Danians." The messenger bat nodded and flew off to Mount Pillar

"Now we wait for a response." Chaor said as he sat down on the throne once again.

Meanwhile in the core of Mount Pillar in the Queen's Chambers. Queen Illexia was relaxing when the messenger bat flew in. it landed on the Queen's arm, and presented the message to Queen Illexia. As Queen Illexia read the message her face turned into one of shock before smiling. "Let Chaor know that the deal is accepted and to meet my guards at the entrance of Mount Pillar." The bat nodded and flew off with a new message for its master. The bat returned to underworld city and repeated the message to Chaor who just grinned evilly. "Takinom go get Asadab and bring him near the entrance of Mount Pillar and if he resists knock him out and drag him if you have to." Chaor said as he got up from his throne and left. Takinom shared a look with Agitos who just shrugged.

Later at the entrance to Mount Pillar. Chaor was waiting for Takinom to arrive when he heard the telltale signs of wings flapping signaling Takinom's arrival.

Chaor saw that Asadab was unconscious and picked him up and threw him over his shoulder. Chaor and Takinom walked through the gates and were escorted to the Queen's Chambers. "how nice to see you Lord Chaor. Have you brought the accused?" Queen Illexia asked

"It is nice to see you too Queen Illexia. And yes, I have brought the accused." Chaor said as he dropped Asadab unceremoniously on the ground. "Here is the Battlegear I promised." Chaor said as he reached into his satchel and pulled out a new Battlegear that the Danians had never seen before. It was a blaster but it was sleek like one from the future, it had four different buttons that each showed a different element. "What kind of Battlegear is this?" Queen Illexia asked in curiosity

"This is the Quad-Blaster it has the capability to use all four elements. Now I would like to watch the transformation but I have matters to attend to in Underworld City." Chaor said as he gave the Quad-Blaster to one of the Danian guards

"Yes I understand, being a leader of a tribe IS a lot of work, you may leave now…and don't worry I will keep my end of the deal since you kept yours." Queen Illexia said as Chaor nodded and left. After Chaor left Queen Illexia brought out a Danian Parasite and gestured for one of the guards to wake up Asadab. He woke up groggy as heck before realizing where he was, noticing he couldn't move nor could he use attacks or call on any mugicians he looked up at Queen Illexia and saw the parasite. He knew what was coming next and so he sighed in reluctant defeat. Queen Illexia just smiled and said "Welcome to your new Tribe…Asadab." And with that she tossed the Parasite at Asadab where it landed on his chest before biting his flesh where the transformation began. Chaor had just reached the gates when the screams of Asadab echoed around the tunnel system. Chaor just grinned and thought to himself "This is what all traitors will get from now on.'
