*I am in the studio's design lab creating the Rangers' weapons. Vanellope, Rancis, Ron, Hunter and Ryan walk in*
Rancis: Hey there.
Ron: Are you making the Rangers' weapons?
Me: That's right, Cinnadon. These weapons will help them out in any situation.
Vanellope: *finds a red lance, a pair of blue daggers and a pink longbow in the display case* Are those the weapons you finished so far?
Me: Yeah. That's the Phoenix Lance, the Shark Daggers and the Crane Bow. I just finished the Wolf Scythe and I'm still working on the Gorilla Hammer.
Hunter: So the Shark Daggers are mine?
Me: Right you are.
Hunter: Yes! I'm going to test them out right away. *Takes Shark Daggers out of the display case and leaves*
Ryan: You sure made him very happy, Archer. *picks up the Wolf Scythe*
Me: I sure did. *takes the Phoenix Lance and the Crane Bow out of the display case* Well, I better give these to Kyle and Lindsey. You readers enjoy this chapter.
The 7 Medallions
Chapter 19: Ghost of a Chance
On the roof of Danny's house, Vlad and Demyx come out of the corridor of darkness and begin to think to themselves about what they have planned. After about 15 minutes, Vlad's eyes begin to flash mysteriously.
"The portal is open." Vlad said.
"What was that?" Demyx asked.
"The portal to the Ghost Zone has been opened. Now is the time to strike." Vlad answered. Demyx grins evilly after hearing him say that.
"You took the words right out of my mouth." Demyx added as he summons his sitar. "Ready?"
"More than ever." Vlad answered as he transformed into his ghost form. This consisted of his gray hair turning black, his eyes becoming completely red and his outfit changing to a white and black shirt with a black belt and matching gloves, white pants with black boots and a white and red cape. The transformation surprised the Melodious Nocturne, but he shook it off and proceeded to enter the building with Vlad. Unknown to the two, a female figure has been listening in on their conversation.
"Not on my watch." The female figure said as she turned transparent and phased through the wall.
Inside the Ghost Zone, Danny, Sam, Tucker, Sora, Mason, Ben, Sofia and Vanellope are searching around the spectral zone for the Medallion that landed in Amity Park. Danny, in his ghost form, is guarding the Fenton Van while everyone else is inside the van, watching the radar for the Medallion and any ghosts that could be attacking them.
"So this is the Ghost Zone." Mason said in amazement.
"What did you expect?" Danny asked in annoyance.
"Beats me." Mason answered with a deadpanned look. "Any luck on the Medallion's signal, Tucker?"
"I think I'm getting a feint signal from the northwest." Tucker confirmed.
"Northwest? That's where Walker's prison is." Danny pointed out "What would Walker want with some Medallion?!"
"It's no ordinary Medallion, Danny. These contain very special powers even you can't imagine." Mason answered "If Organization XIII get their hands on all of the Medallions and Sofia's amulet, they will plunge the multiverse in an eternal darkness."
"Whoa. If that's the case, then we need to get that Medallion from him right now." Sora added.
"I agree. Luckily, I was once arrested and locked up there, so I know where it is." Danny said.
"Perfect. Lead the way." Sam ordered. Danny nods and flies towards the prison. The Fenton Van follows begins to follow him.
Inside the basement laboratory, the rest of the group is keeping track of their progress. After several minutes, some of them are starting to get bored.
"Man, who would've thought that it would be this boring?" James asked in exhaustion. Crumbelina and Jubileena get up and start walking towards the exit.
"Just where do you two think you're going?" Felix asked.
"We're just about to help Ron and the others keep an eye out for any ghosts that could attack this place." Crumbelina answered. They were about to leave until someone bumps into them, knocking Crumbelina down.
"Oh, we're so sorry. We didn't know…what…" Crumbelina tried to apologize until she looked up and saw two people she was talking to. One was a large man in his 40's with black hair with white on the back of his head and blue eyes wearing an orange jumpsuit with black gloves and boots. The other was a woman in her 40's with short, brown hair and purple eyes wearing a cyan blue jumpsuit with black gloves and boots.
"What do you think you're doing inside our laboratory?" the woman asked. The man looks at most of the group and notices something missing.
"And where is our son?" The man demanded. This made some of the group gasp in surprise.
"So you must be Danny's parents, right?" Ralph asked. The two nod. "Well, your son went into the Ghost Zone with some of our friends to get what was in a green comet that landed somewhere in the town yesterday."
"WHAT?!" The two shouted.
"Don't worry. Your son is with some of our friends." Rook reassured.
"That's good to know. Anyway, my name's Jack Fenton and this is my wife Maddie." The man introduced. Jen then introduces herself and the others to them. They smile after hearing their names.
"It's very nice to meet you all. Sorry about knocking you down like that, Crumbelina." Jack apologized as he helped her up.
"That's alright. It's not the first time I get knocked down by someone I bump into." Crumbelina added, feeling sorry herself. Then, they hear sounds of clanging outside.
"What was that?" Minty asked.
"I believe someone is inside. We better take a look." Jack suggested.
"Right. Half of you stay here and keep track of their progress. The rest, come with us." Calhoun ordered. Amber, James, Clio, Vivian, Kevin, Rook, Jen, Rancis, Gloyd, Crumbelina, Jubileena, Candlehead, Ulrich and Aelita went upstairs with Calhoun, Jack and Maddie to investigate, leaving Hildegard, Zandar, Maya, Khalid, Jun, Jin, Gwen, Yumi, Odd, Taffyta, Minty, Swizzle, Adorabeezle and Snowanna in the basement.
Back in the Ghost Zone, Danny's team has just made it to Walker's ghost prison. Sam and Tucker stay in the Fenton Van to guide them while the others infiltrate the prison. The minute they enter through the gates, Sofia and Vanellope begin to shake in fear.
"This place sure is spooky." Sofia said with a frightful look. Vanellope nods in agreement.
"I know, but remember, I've been here before. As long as you stay with me, we'll find that Medallion." Danny reassured. Sofia and Vanellope give him a thankful smile as they enter the prison. Once they were in the prison's cell block, inmates begin to shout angrily upon seeing Danny.
"I take it some of these inmates here know you?" Ben asked.
"Like I said, I've been here before." Danny answered. "Now, if I remember correctly, Walker's office should be on the third floor." Then, ignoring the comments and insults the inmates throw at Danny, they make their way to Walker's office. Vanellope tries to open the door, but it won't move.
"Great. It's locked." Vanellope confirmed.
"How are we going to get in now?" Ben asked.
"Wait a minute…" Mason said as he reached out his right hand and summoned his Sleeping Lion.
"How is your Keyblade going to open that?" Sofia asked. Mason responds by pointing his Keyblade at the keyhole of the door. Then, a thin beam of light is fired from the blade and reaches the keyhole as an unlocking sound is heard. The light disappears as Ben approaches the door to find that it is unlocked now.
"It worked. Thanks for that, Mason." Ben thanked.
"No problem." Mason replied as he and the rest of the group enters the office.
In the human world, Calhoun and her team has made it upstairs to see that the entire place is trashed. The couch is overturned, the table and chairs are broken, and there is ectoplasm all over the place.
"What happened here?!" Candlehead asked, amazed to see the mess.
"Well, whoever turned our house into Ground Zero is going to have to deal with me face-to-face." Jack answered. Then, they hear a sinister laugh.
"I was hoping you would say that." A voice said, surprising them. After a few seconds, a corridor of darkness opens and Demyx appeared with his sitar.
"Another member of Organization XIII." Crumbelina pointed out.
"That's right. I am Demyx, the Melodious Nocturne." Demyx said as he strummed his sitar and a flurry of water orbs appeared above them. Aelita conjures a barrier to protect them from the balls.
"Why are you here?!" Calhoun demanded, pointing her blaster at him.
"I'm here because one of my comrades has left the Organization and is searching for you as we speak." Demyx answered.
"What are you talking about?" Maddie asked.
"He's talking about someone by the name of Axel." Another voice answered. Then, Vlad in his ghost form appeared.
"Vlad!" Jack shouted in surprise.
"That's right, old friend. It's me." Vlad said.
"W-w-w-who are you?" Gloyd asked in fear.
"I'm glad you asked. I am Vlad Plasmius!" Vlad answered with a maniacal laugh.
*I walk in the studio game room to see Kyle, Lindsey, Taffyta and James playing the PS3.*
Kyle: *pauses the game* Hey Archer. I see you finished our weapons.
Me: Almost. The Gorilla Hammer is still a work in progress.
Lindsey: Of course.
*I hand Kyle the Phoenix Lance and Lindsey the Crane Bow*
Kyle: Sweet! A lance!
Lindsey: This is so cool!
Me: I'm glad you like them. Hunter already has the Shark Daggers and Ryan's got the Wolf Scythe.
Taffyta: Oh, that's nice.
Me: Well, I'll get back to work on the Gorilla Hammer. Tell Kaitlyn to come into the design lab once it's done.
James: Okay.
Me: Good. You readers please review. Peace out!
