Knight sat down in boredom and watched Sam try to act like a boy, they had entered the Ghost Zone and was just in the forest near the camp where she would do her training but she wasn't exactly doing well acting like a boy.
"Okay how about this?" Sam asked and then said in a deepened voice, "Excuse me where do I sign in? Oh I see you have a sword! Well I have one too and I'm very manly and tough!"
She tried to pull out her sword quickly but failed as she dropped it and it fell to the ground, Knight began rolling on the ground laughing hysterically but stopped as he was suddenly hit in the head by Sam's shoe.
"I'm working on it!" Sam said with her arms crossed. She put her shoe back on and looked at the camp nearby. "Who am I kidding? So far being a boy, I give myself an F! It's gonna take a miracle to get me into the army"
She suddenly jumped when she heard, "DID I HEAR SOMEONE ASK FOR A MIRACLE? LET ME HEAR YOU SAY AGHHH!"
She turned to see a giant shadow of a dragon flaring behind a rock full of smoke and flames! She screamed, "AGHHHHH!"
"THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH!" The dragon roared.
Sam and Knight peaked from the rock they were hiding behind and the dragon continued, "GET READY SAM YOUR SALVATION IS AT HAND! YOUR ANCESTORS HAVE SENT ME TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH YOUR MASCARATION! BUT HEAD MY WORDS THAT IF THE ARMY FINDS OUT YOU'RE A GIRL THE PENALTY IS DEATH!"
"Who are you?" Sam asked.
"Who am I? Who am I? I am the Guardian of lost souls! I am the powerful, the pleasurable…" The dragon began to answer and then walked out of behind the rock to reveal Dora in her small size as she finished, "The indestructible Dora!"
Sam was excited at first but it dropped as soon as she saw Dora for who she really was. She couldn't believe that someone this small was sent to help her!
"Wait a minute! My ancestors sent me a little lizard to help me?" Sam asked unimpressed.
"Hey! I'm a dragon! DRAG-GON! Not lizard! I don't do that weird tongue thing!" Dora clarified but then did the tongue thing lizards do.
"Um you're kind of…tiny" Sam said. Dora then said, "Of course! I'm travel size for your convenience"
"Now if I was my real size your cow here would die of fright" Dora said as she petted Knight's nose but jumped when Knight tried to bite her. "DOWN BESSIE!"
"But my powers are beyond your mortal imagination. For example, my eyes can see straight through your armour" Dora said as she floated in front of her only to receive a slap from Sam who took offence to that and landed on the ground.
Cujo came out and helped Dora up. She then shouted, "That's it! Dishonour! Dishonour on your whole family! Dishonour on you! Dishonour on your cow! Dis…"
"Stop! I'm sorry! I'm just nervous, I've never done this before and the last thing I need is for one of my guardian's to bring more dishonour to my family" Sam said.
"Then you're gonna have to trust me girl! And no more slapping me please! Well we better get a move on, let's go Cujo we're moving out" Dora said and they all began to walk for the camp.
They stood at the gates of the camp and saw all the men making weapons, setting up their tents, cooking and now Sam was feeling even more nervous than before. Dora hid in the back of Sam's uniform so nobody could see her.
"Okay we gotta make this look good. Now to walk like a man just have your shoulders back, chest high, feet apart, head up and strut" Dora said.
Sam did all that and began walking through the camp, receiving some really strange looks from some of the men so she just walked normal. As they walked through the camp she noticed some of the men picking their noses and the dirt in their feet with chopsticks.
"They're disgusting!" Sam whispered in disgust.
"No they're men and you have to act just like them so pay attention" Dora said as she made her head turn the other way.
Sam gasped as she saw a guy take the front of his shirt in front of a muscular guy with blonde hair and wearing a red training uniform, his name was Dash Baxter and another guy who was an African American boy wearing a yellow training uniform and a red beret on his head, his name was Tucker Foley.
"Look at this fellas! This tattoo will protect me from harm" The guy with the large dragon tattoo on his chest said.
Dash then smiled at Tucker and then punched the man right in the gut, knocking the breath right out of him. Tucker laughed hysterically at that and exclaimed, "I hope you can get your money back!"
"I don't think I can do this" Sam muttered.
"It's just all about attitude! Be tough like this guy here" Dora encouraged.
Dash spat on the ground and then glared as he noticed Sam staring at him. He asked sarcastically, "What are you looking at?"
"Punch him! It's how men say hello" Dora whispered.
So while Dash's back was turned she punched him right in the shoulder and sent him straight into an Asian looking boy wearing a grey training uniform, his name was Kwan and he was probably a pretty gentle kind of person.
"Dash dude! You need a friend" Kwan said.
"Okay now slap him on the behind, they really like that" Dora then whispered and Sam did just that to Dash who yelped and then became really angry.
He grabbed Sam by the collar and muttered, "I'm gonna hit you so hard it's gonna make your ancestors dizzy!"
But before he could do anything Kwan had grabbed him by the shoulders causing him to let go of Sam and began to try and calm him down.
"Dash relax. Count from one to ten and take a deep breath" Kwan instructed.
With a growl Dash took a deep breath and muttered slowly calming down, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten"
"Feel better?" Kwan asked as he let go of him.
"Yeah" Dash said. Sam was slowly walking off when Dash said, "Oh you ain't worth my time chicken boy"
"CHICKEN BOY! SAY THAT TO MY FACE YOU DUMHEADED NEANDERTHAL!" Dora screamed offended.
Dash growled in anger and pulled Sam back by her collar, just when Dash swung for a punch she ducked and allowed the punch to actually hit Tucker instead. She ran off while Tucker wobbled from the punch.
"Oops! Sorry Tucker" Dash said.
The three got into a brawl with each other and Sam just ran off, they all then stopped and chased after Sam who ran into a tent and they followed her in and ran out the other side unaware that Sam stayed inside the tent and watched them run out thinking they were still chasing her. Dash stopped right at the food line, Tucker stopped just as he was about to bump into Dash but was pushed as Kwan couldn't stop and sent them all tumbling down like dominos and knocking over the whole pot of porridge.
They all stood up and began to slowly advance on Sam, Mr Lancer didn't notice as he walked into General Jack's tent. General Jack Fenton was showing a map of the land to his eighteen year old son Daniel Fenton or Danny as he preferred to be called. His son Danny had raven black hair and blue eyes, he wore a red and white army uniform when he was working with his dad, he was also half human, half ghost. He became half ghost when he was just a child when Jack was working on a portal for a faster way to get to the Ghost Zone but unfortunately when it didn't work, Danny tried to fix it but ended up getting electrocuted and his DNA being coated with ectoplasm. His parents had accepted him for who he was and Danny worked hard with his dad in the army.
"Plasmius and the Huns have attacked these three villagers, I will take the main troops up to the Tang Shao Pass and stop Plasmius before he destroys this village" Jack explained while gesturing to the map.
"Excellent strategy sir! I do like surprises" Mr Lancer complimented.
"As for you Danny, you will stay and train the new recruits. When Lancer believes you're ready you will join us Captain" Jack said with a smile as he handed him a new sword.
"Captain?" Danny asked with shock as he accepted the sword.
Mr Lancer was shocked and unsure as he suggested, "This is an enormous responsibility for someone so young General! Perhaps you should get a soldier with more experience to do this"
"Danny was number one in his class, has extensive knowledge of training techniques and impressive military linuage. Plus he's half ghost which will also make it easier to help train those who are ghosts in the army, I believe he will do an excellent job" Jack said with confidence.
Danny smiled and said, "Oh I will! I won't let you down! This is the greatest…I mean…Yes sir!"
Jack stood up with a smile with his sword and helmet. He then said, "We will toast China's victory at the Imperial City. Mr Lancer I will expect a full report in three weeks"
"And I won't leave anything out" Mr Lancer said and then went outside with Jack.
Danny smiled as he looked at his sword again and attached it to his belt as he imagined, "Captain Danny Fenton, leader of China's finest troops. No the greatest troops of all time!"
But when he walked out and joined Mr Lancer and Jack, he was shocked to see all the troops punching and hitting each other in an all-out brawl, there was rice and porridge everywhere and a soldier wobbled over to them and fainted with a salute.
"Most impressive" Mr Lancer said sarcastically.
Jack walked over and jumped on his horse. He then shouted, "Good luck Captain!"
Jack then took off leading all the main troops behind him. Danny then said quietly, "Good luck dad"
Danny looked back at his troops and sighed then with a frown, he transformed into his ghost form which consisted of him wearing a black and white jumpsuit with DP on his chest, and he walked right in front of them and shot a loud ecto blast in the sky which caused them all to stop.
"SOLDIERS! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Danny shouted.
Dash delivered one more punch to a guy's face and they all then stood back to reveal Sam huddling on the ground unharmed and they all said while pointing to him, "HE STARTED IT!"
Sam looked up to see Danny standing in front of her glaring, he transformed back into his human half which at first shocked her but she stood up and to attention.
"I don't need anyone causing trouble in my camp" Danny said.
"Sorry" Sam apologised but then changed her voice and said, "Uh I mean sorry you had to see that but you know how it is when you get those manly urges!"
Danny and Mr Lancer just looked at her strangely and Danny then asked, "What's your name?"
"Uh…well…" Sam stuttered. Mr Lancer then got annoyed and said, "Your commanding officer just asked you a question!"
"Uh I got a name and it's a boy's name too" Sam said and she tried to think of a name when Dora suggested in a whisper, "Tucker! Try Tucker!"
"His name is Tucker" Sam said gesturing to Tucker behind her.
"I didn't ask for his name I asked for yours" Danny said in annoyance.
"AHHCHOO!" Dora sneezed. Sam then said, "Quiet Dora!"
"Dora?" Danny asked. Sam answered, "No"
"Then what is it?" Danny asked once more. Sam then quickly said, "It's Wes!"
"Wes?" Danny asked with confusion.
"Yes my name is Wes" Sam answered.
"Let me see your conscription notice" Danny said. Sam handed it to him and then Danny's eyes widened when he read the name on the scroll, "Jeremy Manson. The Jeremy Manson?"
"I didn't know Jeremy Manson had a son" Mr Lancer said shocked.
"Um…he doesn't talk about me much" Sam lied and then tried to spit but completely failed as it didn't come out all the way and just hung on her mouth.
"I can see why. The boy is an absolute lunatic!" Mr Lancer whispered to Danny while Dash, Tucker and Kwan snickered.
Danny then walked around and announced, "Okay gentlemen! Thanks to your new pal Wes you'll spend tonight picking up every single grain of rice from this ground and tomorrow the real work begins!"
Danny then walked off and all the soldiers glared at Sam and began making gestures that she was gonna pay.
"You know we have to work on your people skills Sam" Dora said as she popped out. Looks like this was not gonna be easy.
