*I was napping in the studio's theatre room after watching Fast & Furious 5. Then, the alarm goes off*
Me: *jumped awake* Huh?! What?!
Ron: *runs in* Archer!
Me: Ron! What's going on?!
Ron: Someone's attacking the studio!
Me: Who was it?!
Ron: Don't know. All I can tell is that he controls these black clouds.
Me: Black clouds… I bet I know who.
*We run outside to the studio courtyard to see Sofia, Vanellope, and Drake fighting Black Adam. He turns to see me*
Black Adam: Well, I figured you would show up eventually.
Me: Black Adam. Why are you here?
Black Adam: What else? I came here to kill you.
Me: Not a chance. You readers enjoy this chapter while Black Adam and I settle this face-to-fist.
The 7 Medallions
Chapter 18: Into the Ghost Zone
In the outskirts of Amity Park, a corridor of darkness opens and Demyx appears from it. He surveys the area clearly. He is thinking about hunting down Axel after he left without telling his superior.
"So, this is where they said Axel would go to find that Medallion." Demyx said to himself as he entered the town. Some of the people look at him in confusion while others simply ignore him. After about 5 minutes of walking, he spots someone on the roof of a building. "He seems interesting. Maybe I should go talk to him." He teleports to the roof of the building, meters behind the figure.
"I take it you're after someone you know." The figure spoke.
"How did you know that?" Demyx asked. The figure turns around to reveal a man in his 40's with gray hair and dark blue eyes wearing a black tuxedo over a white button-down shirt with a red bowtie and a red handkerchief in the outer pocket.
"Let's just say I'm looking for someone as well." The man answered. "My name is Vladimir. Vladimir Masters. My friends call me Vlad." He held out his hand, offering a handshake.
"I'm Demyx." Demyx introduced as he accepted the handshake. "Who is it that you're looking for?"
"Just someone by the name of Danny Phantom." Vlad said.
"Interesting. Do you know anyone by the name of Axel, Vlad?" Demyx asked.
"No, I haven't." Vlad answered. That answer made Demyx lower his head in disappointment. "However…" Vlad added. This caught the Melodious Nocturne's attention. "I did see someone with red hair follow a group of children."
"Did one of these children wield a type of sword called a Keyblade?" Demyx asked.
"Two of them, actually. Why?" Vlad asked. Demyx then turns around to think for a moment.
"So the Keyblade wielders and their friends are already here." Demyx thought to himself. "If I find this Danny Phantom, I'll find him as well." He turns back around to face Vlad.
"Okay. Where can we find him?" Demyx asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, I saw him heading towards his house. It is a 3-story building with a large neon sign that reads "Fenton Works"." Vlad answered. "I will take you there."
"Thank you, Vlad." Demyx thanked as he opened a corridor of darkness for the two to walk through.
The group has recently entered Danny's house with Danny, Sam and Tucker. Some of the heroes are looking around the building, while a few of the others are looking for a way to find the portal to the Ghost Zone.
"Although I admire the place, Danny, we can't find the way to the basement." Mason complained.
"My parents are a bit secretive to their work, so they hid their laboratory behind that bookshelf." Danny replied, pointing to a bookshelf nearby. The group approaches the bookshelf.
"So many books. How can we find the one that opens it?" Drake asked, amazed by the number of books on the shelf.
"Let me handle this. It's a good thing I keep this handy in case we can't find what we're looking for." Rancis answered as he focused on the book shelf. In Rancis' point-of-view, the bookshelf and adjoining wall is completely blue as he scanned the 550 books on the shelf. He looks along the rows of the shelf until he found an orange slot.
"Second row. Seventh book from the right." Rancis reported. Danny, Sam and Tucker are amazed by this.
"Whoa, I never knew you could see like that, Rancis. How do you do it?" Tucker asked.
"It's a little tool called "Detective Mode". I learned it when I ventured into a place called Arkham City to rescue Vanellope, who was kidnapped and taken there by Turbo." Rancis explained as Danny proceeded to pull the book. Then, the bookshelf began to move upwards, revealing the way to the basement. They were about to enter until they were stopped by a voice familiar to Danny.
"What is going on here, Danny?" a voice asked. They turn to see a 17-year-old girl with orange hair and aqua blue eyes wearing a hip-length long-sleeve black v-neck shirt, aqua pants, black flats, and an aqua headband.
"Not now, Jazz. My friends here are trying to get into the Ghost Zone to get what landed in that green comet last night." Danny answered. Jazz only gave a glare to some of the group, making a few of the young royals and the Sugar Rush racers cringe in fear.
"Jeez. Is this your sister?" Mason asked the young ghost hunter.
"Uh-huh." Danny answered. "Don't let her attitude deceive you. She's still the Jazz Fenton I know."
"Likewise." Drake added. Jazz then noticed the hidden entrance to the lab.
"Why is the secret entrance open?" Jazz asked.
"Like I said before, my new friends here are about to go into the Ghost Zone with me to get what was in that green comet." Danny answered.
"Well, you need someone to guide you." Jazz said.
"Are you sure you want to guide us in there?" Ben asked. Jazz nods.
"I guess we can't stop you from this." Sam said.
"Don't mean to interrupt, but we should go into the Ghost Zone now." Sora added.
"Right. Come on. Let's get into the Ghost Zone." Danny said as he proceeded downstairs to the laboratory. The group follows him and his friends. When they arrive, they see a vault-like door with yellow and black stripes, a red light above it and a panel with two buttons on the left, one green labeled "open", the other red labeled "close".
"Could this be the Ghost Portal you mentioned, Danny?" Drake asked.
"Yeah. I bet those ghosts have a grudge against me so I need seven other people to go with me." Danny suggested.
"Who do you want to come with you?" Rook asked.
"Let's see, Sam and Tucker already want to come with me so I need five more." Danny said.
"Who do you have in mind?" Ralph asked.
"Well, Sora and Mason have those Keyblades, so they'll come, too. I also want Ben, Sofia, and Vanellope to come with me as well." Danny said.
"Ariana, Drake, Ron and I will keep watch outside for any more of those ghosts." Scarlet added.
"Good. Now let's go in there and get that comet." Danny said with vigor. They were about to go in until Rancis grabbed Vanellope's hand.
"Be careful in there." Rancis said to Vanellope.
"Don't worry. I will." Vanellope replied as she gave him a kiss on his cheek, making him blush wildly. The other racers smile at this.
"All right. Let's go." Vanellope added as the team chosen to venture in the Ghost Zone, the portal to it being opened by Calhoun, proceeded inside.
*Ron and I kick Black Adam in the stomach, sending him flying across the courtyard.*
Me: Had enough yet, Adam?
Black Adam: Not even close. I'll be back for you yet. *flies away*
Ron: Like that's going to happen.
Me: Everyone okay?
Drake: A little bruised, but other than that, we're okay.
Vanellope: Look at this place! It's a disaster.
Ron: No kidding!
Me: Nothing to worry. If we work together, we'll have the studio cleaned up by tomorrow.
Sofia: Sounds like a good idea.
Me: Thanks, Sofia. Let's get to work. You readers please review. Peace!
