Mystic Girl: I can't believe you sent a virus to my computer!
Tucker: Me!! What makes you think I did it?
Mystic Girl: Because you're the only person I know who can send five Trojan horses through one email and has a grudge against me.
Tucker: We'll settle this later, now on with the story.
Meanwhile back in the real world. Valerie had changed into her alter ego 'the Red Huntress' and was boarding over to the gym. "Your going down, ghost!" She yelled the minuet she saw the Mirror Maiden.
"A, more company," she smiled when she saw the young, red clad, ghost hunter. "That makes my collection four preps, one ghost, one techno-geek and one goth."
'Techno-geek and goth,' she though. "What did you do with Sam and Tucker?" she yelled firing an ecto-blast at the ghost. Of course it had the same effect as when Danny tried it and Val found herself forced into a pile of gym mats. "Your good kid," Mirror Maiden said dully. "But your nothing to an army of banshees. But if you're really spoiling for a fight…"
Jut then three of the mirrors floated down to Val, all reflecting the same person. Just then the reflections started grinning evilly, and actually stepped out of the mirrors the face the real huntress. "Doppelgangers," the amazingly vain ghost smiled. "ATTACK!!"
Val tried to defend herself against the clones. But they all seamed to be 10 times more powerful then the original. "If I'm going to rescue Sam and Tucker, I'm going to need help," she said flying through an open window with her clones hot on her tail. "And I know just where to get it." (e.n. before you start guessing, this is after d-stabilized)
(Line break)
Back in the mirror realm the teens found themselves hopelessly lost. "Great Fen-toad," Dash said trying to be threatening. "What do we do now?" It seamed that the path that they had been walking, had now spit five different ways.
"Maybe we should spit up," said Tucker in a rather goofy way.
"Actually Foley," said Kwan. "The odds of us all surviving this location if we separate are slim to nil."
" So how do we get out," Paulina snapped as she applied large amounts of make-up to her face with out improvement.
"I've got an idea," said Danny suddenly. "In stories where someone gets stuck inside a mirror, the mirror they came through becomes a window. All we have to do is find a light that looks like it's coming from a window."
"There's a speck of light down here," called Star pointing down one of the paths. Where there was indeed a speck of light shining through a reddish glow."
"Great," said Sam. "Because the sooner I get back in black, the better."
"I wonder what's causing the red illumination though?" Said Kwan looking very odd with a thoughtful look on his face.
Unfortunately they soon saw that it was coming from a larva pit. Over which a very thin rock bridge was held. "Great," moaned Dash. "How are we going to know if it's safe?"
"Easy," said Danny smiling evilly. "You walk across and we'll see if you live."
"WHAT??" Dash cried. "Why me?"
"Technically, you're now the lightest in the group," said Kwan. "You'll have the best chance of living."
"Thanks for the support," said the former jock sarcastically. Looking down at the larva nervously he started to walk across. "Ok, don't look down," he mumbled to himself. "I'll be fine, I mean what could happen?" (e.n. Do'h Dash, don't you know never to say that in a supernatural story?) The minuet he said it. The larva started to bubble more violently. Then out of it's depths a monstrous creature that looked like an enormous, red dragon rose.
"Aaaahhhhh," Dash screamed as the dragon lunged for him. Seeing this (purely out of habit) Danny raced across to the centre of the bridge and punched the dragon in the nose. Surprisingly the punch actually sent the dragon flying into the side of the room. Causing half the wall to crack and fall towards the two boys. Danny quickly grabbed Dash and ran twice as quickly as usual to the other side. 'What just happened?' Danny though as they both gasped for air.
As luck would have it, the rubble that had once been the wall, had completely buried the dragon and had piled up by the bridge making it wider. So soon the rest of the group joined them.
"Well," said Kwan. "A welcome change I see." Danny smiled, though he knew Dash, Paulina, Star and Kwan would put his new abilities down to the mirror realms magic. But he had another theory to support the change. Normally his ghost half was way more powerful then his human half. But now, not having any access to his regular powers, his human abilities were largely enhanced.
"Never mind that now guys," Danny said as he and Dash stood up straight. "We've got to get out of here before anything else happens." Snapping back to reality the seven teens raced up a flight of stairs, on to the next room.
Mystic Girl: What? You didn't really think I was sending Danny in unarmed did you?
Tucker: O, now you're really being nasty.
Mystic Girl: Hay; maybe you'll have more luck come next chapter. Till then readers, R&R
