Date/ Time/ Location: Monday, October 29, 2018/ 6:30 P.M./ Ghost Zone
(Danny POV)
It's been two days since Ember's consort and rockstar is on the move, literally. Friday afternoon she'll be in Texas; afterwards she'll head east.
Tucker wasn't happy that missed out on getting a V.I.P. pass, however Sam said he lost it when he became obsessed with Ember's music.
As for me, in my lair, Sam has been growing this big ass tree in the center of her greenhouse that doubles as a magic tower. Then there's my addition; on the top floor is my Observatory I, it looks like the Fenton Works Ops Center however with a telescope that is now scanning the more visible lairs; like Skulker's Island or Walker's Prison.
It's been about two weeks since Valerie joined Team Phantom and things have been way easier for the Team since then. Thanks to Valerie's tech and skills she was able to help us quite a bit with fighting ghosts, practically cutting down his workload by half. Most of the time she followed my lead when it came to dealing with ghosts but it wasn't uncommon for her to patrol by herself.
Valerie wasn't good at fighting ghosts because of tech and a little skill, she was a Second Degree Black Belt and competed in multiple tournaments, giving her a tone of experience. She might be rusty with using the ghost hunting tech, but she was quickly getting the hang of it thanks to your help.
There were two reasons why we were in the Ghost Zone. First, I accidentally teleported Sam and I into my lair and haven't truly figured out a way to teleport us back to Earth so Tucker and Valerie are picking us up… again. Second… … … there really isn't a second reason I just want to say that was.
However this time we were in Tucker's new car. He kept the original design but added retractable wings to the bottom and the wheels now basically anti-gravity engines. He also copied and upgraded the weapons.
"Damn it Danny, I figured you would have just flow the two of you back to Earth," Tucker shouted in anger as he drove.
I chuckle as I pet Sam's hair, "Sorry Tuck but we literally fucked for a full 18 hours straight so we're out of power."
"18 full hours?!" Valerie shouts in shock as she turns back to us, "How the fuck did you two last that long?!"
This it's Sam who speaks up, "Our supernatural biology converted our energies into raw energy, which we used to continue to fuck."
With that there's a silence until we reach Fenton Works.
Time/ Location: 1:30 P.M./ Casper High
As for now I was in the overcast and bleak sky. Halloween is in the air and the students of Casper High are decorating the high school. Except for me. I face plant into a pumpkin, grunting in pain. I pull myself up with my green eyes glowing even more intensely. I take off towards this troublesome ghost. I land on the football field and crouch down to avoid an electrical bolt. The electric blue ghost eel I've been fighting floats in front of me, it's body cascading. The eel definitely looks like a moray eel however the electricity suggests an electric eel. It growls slightly. I shift into a fighting stance however the damn thing flies off, in the direction of the school. I take off in the air with clenched fists.
I reach up with my gloved hand to grab the eel's tail. I grab on and try to pull the damn thing. However the slippery bastard slips through my fingers.
"You're one slippery bastard, but I bet you don't know this trick!" I yell out.
I fire an ectoplasmic blast. That damn eel seems to smile at this, the eel glows green for a second, just absorbing the blow without a second thought, with a purring growl.
"Ah shit," I mutter to myself.
The eel then straightens its neck back, its solid green eyes change to a blazing solid red. Two red beans shot out from them. Instead of bracing for impact I hold out my hands and at the moment of impact I absorb it myself. The eel looks shocked at this before I lunge forward, I condensed the energy into a sword and sliced through the eel. I felt something when I cut through the eel. I felt it grace through something, I think it was it's core.
I turn around to see the eel's disappearing, leaving a cyan crystal. I try to grab it but feel arcs of electricity chaining off of it.
I placed it in the Thermos. Perhaps Desiree or Spectra could explain this.
I fly down to the school, phase through the roof, change back to my human form.
As I maneuver through the decorations I get pushed back.
I can't help but to say, "Oof!"
I hit a ladder that caused the can of paint to fall.
"Hey," I turn to see Dash's jacket drenched in purple paint.
Dash looks back at his jacket, and then he growls in anger.
'I'm in trouble.'
Dash grabs me by my shirt.
I can't help but to yelp in surprise.
Dash stares me down menacingly, "Defacing my letter jacket? That's a violation punishable by wedgie!"
"Grapes of Wrath," we hear the voice of Lance, "break it up!" He yells as he holds out a clipboard in his right hand, "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't suspend you both for fighting on school property."
Dash hesitates, "Uh… I'm a football star?"
Lancer says, "True." Lancer raises an eyebrow at me, he knows I can figure three different excuses on how to get out of this, "Still, I must at least pretend to be fair, and you two need a more creative outlet." Dash and I exchange a look as he continues, "For your aggressions." He tries to smile with a roguish impression, "As you know every year one of the faculty puts together a haunted house party at the abandoned Townsend place." He holds up his clipboard showing a picture of an old, spooky mansion taped to it, and an orange pumpkin in front of it, "This year, it's my turn and I am determined to make my decoration better than Ms. Tetslaff did last year."
Dash, Lancer and I jump up at the sound of a slamming noise of a locker. We turn to see a large woman, she has her fist clenches. This is Ms. Tetslaff has red hair with a white shirt and a whistle around her neck; making it obvious that she's the gym teacher.
Tetslaff says no she yells, "Fat chance," she turns left and holds up a photo of herself in a pink dress, pearl necklace and with green skin and black eyeliner, "you'll never outdo my Franken-Gurkard-Stein monster."
She walks away revealing Tucker and Sam behind her. Tucker is holding a bag of orange streamers on the left and Sam on the right a human skull; it's one of her prized possessions.
Lancer then says, "Welcome aboard 'Team Lancer' gentlemen. Scariest room avoids detention," he turns to Dash, "football star or not."
"No," I say with as little emotion as possible.
Lancer turns to me, "I beg your pardon Mr. Fenton."
I glance up at him only for him to step back, "This is basically an attempt to appear as a good teacher and to show Tetslaff and quite honestly," I turn to Dash, "I plan on taking my detention with no complaint."
As I begin to walk away towards my best friend and girlfriend I hear, "In that case how about I drop the threat of detention and turn it into extra credit."
I smirk, "Now that sounds like something I can get behind."
Time: Lunch
As I waited in line for lunch, I was currently writing a program for my "extra credit" project when I felt something wrapped around my neck and when I looked back to see Sam was just dangling there.
However, when her grip tightens I have to ask, "Sam, are you trying to strangle me or give me a hug?"
She groggily says, "I haven't decided yet."
I chuckled at her response and eventually dragged her to a table where she decided to give me a hug.
I send an invisible duplicate to Desiree's classroom.
I knock on the door.
"Come in," I hear Desiree's voice call through the door.
I enter to see both of my teachers in their ghost disguises eating lunch.
"Hello," I say as I close the door.
"Daniel," they both say at the same time.
"What brings you to my humble classroom?" Desiree asks happily before taking a bite of her salad.
Spectra then speaks up with a guess of her own, "Have you come for advice on new ways to please your succubus lover?"
I chuckle a bit and say, "No, that's not why I'm here, although I did find a ball gag in her nightstand so I'm not sure if she wants me to use it on her or if she wants to use it on me."
Spectra smiles seductively and taps a finger to the corner of her lip, "How would you have known that little Samantha was so adventurous."
Desiree smiles as well and says, "Concerning succubi are adventurous by nature it seems quite natural."
I chuckle again and say, "Honestly that's not the reason why I came, I came for this."
I pull out the thermos, open it, and drop the cyan crystal.
Desiree picks up the crystal, puts it up to the light and says, "Oh it's from a ghost animal."
"Is this your first one," Spectra asks while glancing at it.
"First one, what do you mean?" I ask.
Desiree and Spectra look at each other before Desiree says, "Daniel, ghost animals natural don't have sentience, rather they have to earn it."
"Earn it?" I ask in shock.
Spectra nods and says, "Yes many more animalistic ghost eventually because great fighters and in fact Bertrand was one said ghost."
"Seriously?" I ask in disbelief.
Spectra chuckles and says, "No, but there would be no distinction between the two."
Desiree then speaks up, "In fact all ghost can absorb the core of ghost animals however there are a few ancient laws prohibiting anyone from absorbing the cores of other sentience."
"Absorbing?" I ask.
Spectra this time nods and says, "Absorbing powerful animal cores can grant certain powers, one of your friends is actually dating someone with a bad luck shadow."
"Sounds powerful," I say.
Spectra scoffs, "From a certain point of view."
"So… what am I able to do with this?" I gesture to the ghost core.
Desiree places the core on the table and says, "You can either absorb it, taking the power into yourself or frame it in your energy as a trophy."
"Dang…" I say as I begin to talk about animalistic ghosts some more.
Date/ Time/ Location: Monday, October 29, 2018/ 3:45 P.M./ Phantom Lair
(Danny P.O.V.)
I'm sitting on my computer chair, Tucker was on a new gaming chair and Sam and Valerie have yet to arrive. Tucker and I have been sitting in silence for over two hours.
Until Tucker asks, "So Danny, what are you working on?"
Without turning my head I answer with, "A side project I've been working on for several weeks now."
Tucker stands and exclaims, "Weeks and you didn't tell us."
I smirk and glance at him, "I wanted it to be a surprise."
Tucker then asks, "So what does this project include?"
I turn back to my computer and continue, "I used myself as a test subject to find the proper brainwave frequency that's related to fear," I then jester to three V.R. helmets, "these V.R. helmets will stimulate fear in a person."
Tucker goes pale, "That's scary dude."
I simply smile.
Sam and Valerie walk in, Sam throws her furry purple spider backpack onto the beanbag chair and sits on her own chair while Valerie does the same with her large yellow backpack.
It's Sam who breaks the silence, "So what are you working on?"
Tucker instead answers, "Fear based virtual reality."
"You're kidding me?" Valerie asks.
As time passes Tucker, Sam and Valerie begin to relax, with Tucker playing on his P.D.A., Sam reading a new book and Valerie doing extra homework.
I back away from the computer and ask, "So what are you guys doing?"
Valerie speaks up first, "Some extra homework."
Tucker says, "Zombie Murder V."
Sam says, "Got this at the old bookshop where I like to skulk and lurk." She closes the book and shows it to me
I picked it up and read, "Chronicles of the Fright Knight."
I opened it up to see the first page. There is an intricate black and white drawing of the Fright Knight riding a horse with bat wings and brandishing a burning sword. The text beneath it reads 'The Fright Knight, riding upon his ghoulish steed, the Nightmare, is notorious as the Spirit of Halloween. With his ghostly broadsword he appears-.'
Sam then says, "He's the age-old spirit of Halloween. Legend says that if his sword." She points to the sword, "The Soul Shredder cuts through you, you get teleported to a dimension where you live out your worst fear."
She turns the page to reveal another image of the Fright Knight riding his metallic alicorn with bat wings while brandishing the Soul Shredder, this time from the front. I turn the page again. This page also shows a drawing, a map of some kind. On the top there is a banner that reads, 'Fright Knight's Lair'. There is a large, spooky castle in the center on a floating rock island, with four other floating rock islands nearby.
"Wait a minute…" I say, "I've seen this before!"
I walk over to my desk and open the database of the lairs that the Observatory scanned. I scroll through the images until it matches the book only without the shading.
"Look familiar?" I ask.
The three of them look at the image.
Tucker says, "It matches the map we've been making of the Ghost Zone! Wait, which one is which?"
'So he's a ghost, I wonder how much of a fight he would part up.'
(Time Skip)
Date/ Time/ Location: Wednesday, October 31st/ 1:00 p.m./ 917 Maple Street
I had turned my room into a maze, the rules are simple; three go in with my V.R. helmets and boom get scared. Sam is standing near to me with her book in hands and dressed like Raven from the Teen Titans; she wears a long-sleeve dark navy-blue leotard ending in navy-blue cuffs, on top of that she wears a hooked navy-blue hooded cloak with matching ruffled ankle-boots with grayish-black soles, the cloak is also decorated with a round crimson jewel (similar to a brooch) which helps keep her cloak shut. She also wears a thin, gold belt with several decorated jewels as her brooch and she also has a red gemstone outlined in black located in the center of her forehead.
Tucker on the other hand is wearing a Cyborg custom, he's a big friend of the Titan's member, he lifts up an empty pumpkin for Halloween candy.
As for Valerie she's in a Tifa Lockheart outfit however she was at an A-Lister party.
I'm dressed like Ronin from Marvel comics, with my hood and mask down.
Tucker then says, "Well guy I'm running a little late on scamming some free candy." He turns around to face us as I look at his P.D.A. with a map on it, "I've even got my route planned out for this OCP." I notice the map has a blue line that zags past a lot of green rectangles next to a red zone, "The Optimum Chocolate Payload and then there's this red zone where you want to stay clear of." He then points to the red zone, "Nothing but fresh fruit and granola bars."
Sam leans in and says, "Your costume looks pretty good, Tuck."
Tucker smiles, "Thanks guys I figured I could use the boost." He then turns the other way and points a finger towards the door, "If you wanna maximize your haul." He puts his hand down and starts to walk to the hallway, "C'mon, baby!" He runs toward the door and proceeds to open it, "Hit me with something sweet!"
We hear the door open and the sound of a bazooka charging is heard. We then hear Tucker yelp in surprise and he gets knocked back into the room by green foam. Sam and I walk towards the main room to see Jack and Maddie at the door, both of their hoods are up, smiling proudly and holding both of their bazookas. Jack jumps into the room.
Jack yells, "Haha!" Two windshield wipers clean his goggles as the lenses turn from green to blue, "Look at that, baby! The Fenton Foamer works like a charm!" He turns back to Maddie.
Maddie walks in holding a scanner device.
Maddie says, "I know!" she looks up at Jack, "There are residual trances of ghost readings in this very room." She looks towards the ceiling before looking back at her scanner, "But now the room is clean!"
Tucker on the other hand is still covered in globs of green foam, he walks into the main room and then towards the door again with the foam bubbles continuously and says, "Speak for yourself. If anybody needs me," he walks off, Jack and Maddie also turn to watch him, "I'll be in a different door every 38 seconds."
Jack points to Tucker as he exits, "Isn't he a little old to be." He turns to Maddie, "Walking around in public in a stupid costume?"
I decide to speak up with, "Jack, Maddie? What are you doing?"
Maddie jesters to the room, "Decontaminating the area, son!"
'I'm not your fucking kid.'
Jack smiles, "You know how ecto-storms always flare up around Halloween, Danny-boy."
I roll my eyes, "That's very riveting and by riveting I mean 'Dull' with a capital 'D'." I point my finger towards the exit, "But you guys need to leave before Lancer thinks you're helping me."
Jack's smile fades a bit, "Lancer?" He then turns to me with a frown, "Hey, this isn't some sort of anti-detention project, is it?"
I laugh, "HaHaHaHa." I then wave them off, "No this is for extra credit."
Jack smiles, he walks out the door without saying another word and he slams the door.
Sam and I sat on a chair until Lancer got here.
Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone
3rd(POV)
A glowing green sword is embedded into a purple jack-o-lantern. This is the same Soul Shredder, Sam was talking about. The glowing green sword has a small pumpkin on the hilt. Suddenly a rupture engulfs the castle causing a rock to hit the jack-o'-lantern, which cuts the pumpkin in half. The purple residue stains the Soul Shredder and begins to seep into the ground. All of a sudden, the skeletons on the ground began to produce a green aura and lift their heads and to growl.
The skeletons stand and all bow to the empty purple pumpkin on the altar. A column of green smoke rises from it and then begins to spiral in a horizontal ring that gradually grows larger, eventually reaching the ceiling. Lighting strikes from the top of the green cloud. The shadow of a knight becomes visible. Bats fly through the cloud as it begins to dissipate from the front, revealing the Fright Knight as his purple cape and hair billow behind him. He raises his arms and yells out a cry of freedom. One of the seven skeletons offers the Soul Shredder in front of him.
Fright Knight exclaims as he grabs his sword, "My sword." He raises it in the air up, "At last!"
Meanwhile with Jack and Maddie. Maddie holds that ecto-detection device and is staring at the screen.
Maddie exclaims, "Whoa!"
The ecto-detector's monitor shows a green grid diagram, a grid-like version of an upside-down funnel sprouts. There is also a green compass rose on one side and two horizontal green lines on the other. On the ecto-detector itself are two red buttons, a green circle with three red lines, and a green rectangle with three sections.
Maddie exclaims, "Ecto-storm's flaring up."
Jack narrows his eyes, "We better alert the local townsfolk!"
Jack stands up straight and pulls a megaphone from his waist while holding the bazooka over his left shoulder. Jack and Maddie run past a tree, Maddie looks at her device and Jack shouts through his bullhorn.
Jack yells, "Code five!" He turns to four children in costumes, a witch and pirate on the left and a pink bunny and a clown on the right, "Code five! Code five!" He then turns to his original direction, "This is not a drill!" Jack then interrupts the business of three more costumed kids, this time a pumpkin, Robin from the Teen Titans and a clown, "Repeat." He then turns to four more kids, a Frankenstein's monster, a pirate, a generic witch with a purple cloak and a top hat, and a pink bunny with whiskers, "This is not a drill!"
A group of five trick-or-treaters arrive at the sense, one is the generic superhero, another the chicken, another a kid with a bed sheet on over his jeans, a fourth the generic spooky guy with the cloak and top hat, and the last one a black cat. A sixth blond boy wearing a Robin Hood costume rounds a corner.
The Robin Hood kid says, "Weird costumes." He turns to the other kids, "What are they, plumbers?"
All the children begin to laugh.
Jack lifts the bullhorn to his mouth and speaks into it, "Is, uh, is this thing on?"
Fenton Works Lab
The Fenton Portal is closed. However two pairs of glowing black-gloved fingers pierce through, pries the door open and the Fright Knight yells from the effort.
At the mansion a towering green mushroom cloud begins to develop over the house as the sky flickers black and purple and red. Bolts of lightning strike through the sky from the cloud and reach the green windows, something Danny notices immediately.
However his thoughts are interrupted by Lancer's voice, "Mr. Fenton." Danny turns to see Lancer while holding one of his VR helmets and with a grin on his face, "It's time."
'I'd better send my duplicate,' he thought before splitting himself.
Fright Knight exclaims, "Free! Now I will transform this world into my own personal pantheon of terror! And then I will rule!"
Nightmare whinnies, flaps its wings and starts to ascend.
Danny(POV)
I motion to the maze, "Well Mr. Lancer before you enter The Maze you need to put this on," I hold my VR helmet.
Lancer raises an eyebrow, "Really Mr. Fenton a cheap helmet?"
I frown and pull the helmet away, "Fine get lost in the maze."
There are several seconds until he says, "Fine I'll humor you."
I hand him the helmet as he places it on his head, I say, "When you're ready, press the buttons on your temples."
The maze is actually a giant circle until the two buttons are pressed.
Lancer says with little emotion, "I'll have you know I don't fall for cheap theatrics." He presses the buttons on his temples, "And I don't scare easily." As Lancer enters the maze he jumps back in terror and with a scream, "But you're off to a promising start!"
I chuckle and jester Sam to my laptop screen, to show Lancer's VR view, "All according to plan."
Meanwhile with Fright Knight
3rd(POV)
Fright Knight, "Upon yonder hill lies my ultimate ascendancy!"
In the distance the mansion with the ecto-storm begins to develop bolts of lightning, with a single bolt striking little a car which suddenly turns into a car-shaped ghoul with one eye on the windshield, four tires, dragon wings, a tail, a couple large nostrils, and fangs. Its front wheels come off the ground as it growls loudly, and it takes flight. Another bolt hits an ordinary post office box with the words 'MailBox', the box suddenly becomes a ghoul with purple hair, red eyes and a mouth and coughs up a letter, and looks with a little confusion. Another bolt of lightning hits it, and it becomes a ghoulish lady with red hair, green skin, a tattered green shirt and squid tentacles for legs, it growls in a feminine before wandering away.
Three trick-or-treaters are starting to run in terror and screaming from the ghouls.
Fright Knight says as he prepares to fly towards the mansion, "This is only the beginning."
Out of nowhere Tucker walks up behind the Fright Knight and says, "Hey, Danny." Nightmare turns to Tucker, "Is that you?"
Nightmare swoops down in front of Tucker, however he remains unfazed.
Fright Knight speaks to him, "Child, you may want to show a little more respect to your future ruler!"
Tucker on the other hand, stares with a bored, unfazed expression, "Yeah, yeah, very scary." Tucker then looks more closely at Nightmare, "The fake horse is pretty neat, though." Nightmare leans toward Tucker, breathes smoke from his nose with a glare, Tucker leans back to avoid it, "What's it made out of? Flaming bed sheets?"
Nightmare's head leans back into a straight position.
Fright Knight questions, "Flaming bed sheets of death!"
Tucker looks down at PDA as it beeps rapidly, "Whoa! I'm running late." He puts down his PDA and looks up at the Fright Knight happily, "I gotta be at the Henderson's in five-" He's unable to finish his sentence, as Fright Knight Tucker by the neck.
Fright Knight, "I am the Fright Knight. The Spirit of Halloween!"
The Fright Knight unleashes some purple ocular beams. The beam hits Tucker's pumpkin bucket full of candy. The purple ecto-beam turns the candy melts to a gray pile of burned, smoking slurry and the bucket is turned orange. Tucker gets held by the neck.
Tucker holds up his bucket of melted, burned candy, "Aww, man!" He puts his bucket down and angrily glares at the Fright Knight, "Why'd you do that?!" Fright Knight pulls Tucker up even more.
Fright Knight ignores Tucker, "Once this storm touches every corner of this globe."
Tucker and the Fright Knight float above the street. Three costumed kids, the first is a bed sheet ghost with jeans, the second is a Frankenstein's monster, and the third is a ghoul with the top hat and purple cloak. Tucker watches in horror as a bolt of lightning zaps three of them, turning them into one huge, turquoise monster with four legs, horns, and a pointed tail. It opens its mouth really wide, the kids around it run in fear.
Fright Knight continues, "All these transformations will be permanent!" He jesters to the whole neighborhood, "And this shall be my new domain!" Fright Knight outstretches his arm and points towards the eye of the storm, "Now take me to the eye of the storm!"
Tucker then asks in realization, "You're not Danny, are you?"
Nightmare then takes towards the mansion.
Danny(POV)
Meanwhile the screams of Lancer echo through the room.
"This has potential," Lancer says in fear, "I like it!"
Suddenly the floor boards begin to squeak. Sam and I turn to see three skeletons with green auras lunge through the doorway, making deep groans. Sam and I frown; Sam begins to channel magic into her fingers and I fire ecto-beams through my fist. The skeletons seem to be durable enough to tank my ecto-beams. I frown and put more power into my beams, that's when I start damaging them, like blowing off their limbs.
A sudden crash we heard, and the sound took us by surprise, both of us clenched our eyes, with Sam raising her arms and I raising a single arm. Some debris does fall, but it doesn't hit us. Sam and I both look up and gasp in horror. The Fright Knight on his trusted steed Nightmare crashes through the roof with debris falling and Tucker is lying over the saddles on his stomach. I can feel the fear coming of Sam is scared out of her mind but to be fair I'm too as the Nightmare descends upon them.
Out of nowhere I notice Lancer walking out of the maze and as pale as a ghost, he looks at Nightmare and somehow goes even paler.
Lancer stammers, "Wh...what is that?"
With no comment, no emotions the Fright Knight jumps off of Nightmare and swings right through Lancer without a single gash. Lancer's eyes widened. His body glows green for a second, then pops out of existence in a little green puff of smoke.
I grip my fist, "Lancer?" I jump up and transform in mid-air, "Where'd he go? What'd you do to him?"
Fright Knight looks down at me, "I sent him to where all who feel the sting of my blade are sent to a dimension where his worst fears come to life!"
He thrusts Soul Shredder in my direction.
Tucker yells, "Danny! You got to get that sword away from him!"
Fright Knight pulls back on the reins, "Silence, whelp!" He grabs Tucker and throws across the room.
Tucker is tossed head-first and face-up over the table, the scene panning left as Tucker lands in a prone position and bounces, him yelling in pain the whole time. He only stops thanks to Sam, she created a bubble to catch him.
Tucker looks down to Sam, "Thanks Sam."
Sam nods, "Just get off your ass."
Tucker lands and his ecto-suit equips on.
I begin to fire an ecto-bolt at the Fright Knight, however he uses the Soul Shredder to block them. I fly above him, I channel my ectoplasm into the shape of a blade and strike down. The Knight simply holds his sword vertical to block it before pushing me back and sending me flying towards the roof.
Upon landing on the ceiling I send Sam and Tucker a telekinetic message, "Sam I need you to use that weird book of yours to find a way to end before shit gets out of hand. Tuck, Sam and I need to concentrate so I need you to protect Sam."
"On it!" They both respond at the same time.
Fright Knight then fires purple eye beams out of his helmet as they travel towards me a memory enters my head.
I crossed my arms and three rhombuses appeared in front of me. As several blasts of energy trail towards me the rhombuses rotate into the paths and the energy dissipates at the ends of the shapes. Three words enter my mind, Lumen… Accipiter… Pluma…
I launch myself down towards the Fright Knight, who in turn fires a purple eyebeam at me.
I channel my magic and whisper, ''Lumen Accipiter Pluma."
Just as the beam was about to hit, the energy began to dissipate off of a barely seen rhombus. Seeing his attack wasn't working, Fright Knight rockets himself towards his young opponent with a swing. Noticing this I ducked down and blasted the Knight into the ceiling. However Fright was only sent maybe five feet into the air before coming back and swatting me to the ground.
I hit the ground with a loud thump, cracking the floorboards underneath. I struggled to stand for a moment before I saw Fright Knight start to come down ready to slice me in two.
At the last possible I reached by and grabbed the blade between my hands stopping his swing and surprising the knight. The knight quickly shook off his shock and tried to fire a pair of eye beams at me. I in turn met him in kind by firing my own eye beams.
The beams of purple and green collided into an orb of mixture of the colors and the orb seems to be growing until-
BOOM
We're both pushed back several feet; I roll three times before using the momentum to flip myself onto my feet while Fright only sides to a stop.
'Break it down Ryder. He's obviously stronger, faster and more experienced than me. But I bet he hasn't faced a martial artist.'
Fright and I square up and he tries to give me a very wide left swing but I duck down and begin rapid fire jabs into his side.
"Grah!" Fright yells out before trying to swing back at me.
I stop his swing by hitting his wrist with my hand before using my other hand to break his elbow.
"AH!!!"
This causes him to drop his sword which I grab, I then kick in his knee and rocket into the ceiling.
"Got it!" I hear Sam in my head. "To cease the storm, to end the fear. The sword must sheathe. Pumpkin near!"
As I phase though the ceiling and onto the roof I yell back at her with frustration, "Sam, what the fuck those that mean!?"
I know that I fucked up because I can hear Sam growl, "It means you gotta put the sword back in a pumpkin!"
I start to think back to my decorations and remember, "There are no pumpkins in that room."
The Fright Knight burst through the roof.
It's then I realized something, "No pumpkins, it's fucking Halloween!" I couldn't but facepalm myself and whisper to myself, "What am I, a fucking idiot?"
Sam mental yells at me as she flips through the pages of her book, "All I know is that you have to find another pumpkin fast!" Sam then sends me a mental image of her pointing at the book page, "That's the only thing that can stop the sword's power!"
The Fright Knight launches towards me and swings it down. I float up and land on it only for him to swing me off of it. He lifts the sword behind his back and swings only for me to do a back-flip and land back on the roof with my back to the knight. I turn around to see the Fright Knight flying towards me, I start running. On instinct I jump to avoid the swing and begin to run faster. From behind I can hear the Fright Knight shout again and I tuck-and-roll to the side. I land and quickly jump off the top of the circle portion part of the roof. I see the Fright Knight bring his sword to his side and makes a horizontal circular swing, missing me entirely. The Fright Knight thrusts his sword forward and stabs the roof.
I fly into the air backwards, I hold my left palm out as I hold my wrist with my right arm.
"Strike 6!" I yell out, "Way to whip, Mr. October!"
Danny charges a sphere of ectoplasm and fire. I watch as Fright Knight's eyes widen as he's blasted in the chest and flung back into the house, making another gaping hole in the roof.
I fly into the hole as quickly as possible.

Sam watches the ceiling when all of a sudden The Fright Knight bursts through the ceiling she making a lot more debris fall and making an even bigger mess. The Knight lands on the table, breaking it in half and sending the room in a cloud of dust.
Danny rockets into the building towards the knight.
The once terror-stricken Sam, looks at the damage before smiling with confidence, "C'mon, Danny, you can do it!"
As Danny rockets down The Fright Knight tries to get back up however Danny igintes his fist in ectoplasm and punches the helmet of the Fright Knight.
Danny, "Hah!" Danny yells as he continuously punches.
Fright Knight however shoots a pair of ecto-beams out of his eyes, launching Danny off of him. Danny lands on it on his back only to see the Fright Knight standing over him. The Fright Knight lifts his sword over his head, yet again before swinging it downward.
Unknown to Danny his core vibrates incredibly fast, he launches himself off the ground and meeting Fright Knight's hand. Judging by his surprise look he wasn't expecting that, perfect. He pivots back and strike where his kidney would be with my elbow, forcing him to release his sword. He then jams the pamlel of the sword into the same spot where he just hit him. Finally he rotates back and delivers a spin kick to the back of his head, sending him to the ground.
He flies into the air with sword in hand, "To cease the storm…" He increases his speed and lifts the sword further into the air, "To end the fear…" He flips the sword into the reverse position, "The sword must sheathe…" He put my other hand on the handle, "In pumpkin near!"
As he finishes the verse he plunges the sword into the melted, burned candy in Tucker's pumpkin. Suddenly, a blast of green ectoplasmic energy shoots out of the sword, the force of which sends Danny flying back into the table breaking it.
The Fright Knight shouts, "What?"
Danny seats up and says, "Trick or treat, buckethead."
The Fright Knight tried to run over to the sword, "No! No! Nooo!"
Tucker's pumpkin turns to a sickly purple and gets sucked into the Ghost Zone.
Meanwhile with the Fentons
3rd(POV)
Maddie exclaims as her scanner starts to indicate, "The ghost front is coming from the direction of," green text begins to appear on the screen over the graphic, "917 Maple Street."
Jack rubs the back of his hooded neck, "917 Maple, eh? Hm," he puts a finger to his chin, "I could've sworn it was coming from that spooky house with the big, swirly cloud over there." Jack then points his finger towards the mansion only to put his hand down.
Maddie gasps, "That's where Danny is!"
Jack then yells, "Then let's shake a tail feather, momma!" They strap their huge Fenton Foamers over their shoulders and run off, "Our boy's in danger!"
As they run off they see ghouls turn back to their normal forms.
Back to the house. A ray of green light goes up from the whole Soul Shredder. Nightmare, looking scared, it whinnies, as it crouches down on the ground as its bat wings, it's tail and reins are being sucked upwards. Nightmare struggles but gets sucked up into the vortex and then disappears from view.
Sam and I look up with wide smiles and their hair is being blown up by the updraft.
Sam yells to me, "It's sucking everything into the Ghost Zone! It's working! Aagh!" she is slowly being carried upwards.
"Sam!" I yell and grab onto Sam's arm.
She looks down at me and I then pull her towards me and hold her with a hug. I see Sam's worried face, I truly hate that look. I then pull Sam downwards to the floor to the point we are both on our knees. I wrap my left arm around Sam's waist, the other I turn intangible, phase through the floor and grab onto a pipe under the floorboard.
"I will have my vengeance, Rorek!" We hear the Fright Knight swear he tries to crawl towards us, "Mark my words!"
The Fright Knight's flaming purple cloak disappears, the helmet begins to break off into pieces and get sucked up by the updraft.
'So the Fright Knight is just armor and has no face?' I think to myself.
The Fright Knight's headless body, slumping over and the armor is sucked up through a gap in the ceiling like an alien abduction. The clouds outside continue to swirl, but become thinner. The column of green light coming from the house stops thins and stops radiating and the clouds swirling fade out of existence. I look over to the pumpkin with Soul Shredder, green lightning begins to come from it and suddenly, the sword and pumpkin close in on themselves and vanish in a small flash of light.
Tucker pops back into existence and with that I change back to my human form as he lands on his feet, without hesitation he reaches into his pocket with hope on his face, he pulls out his PDA, smiles and exclaims, "Yes!" He holds them in his both hands, "Sweet beautiful technology." He hugs it to his face, "You're mine once again!"
Lancer then pops back into existence and lands on his feet in a daze. Sam and I quickly make our way to our seats, we lean back with innocent smiles. Lancer turns towards us.
I smile with my mouth open, it quickly melts when Lancer approaches me, "Mr. Fenton, I have to say that was the most horrifying thing I have ever seen."
I chuckle, "Truth be told I probably made it too scary."
Lancer shouts with widened eyes and a smile, "You win!"
I smile, "Thank you Mr. Lancer."
Lancer smiles and yells, "Take that, Tetslaff!"
I relax only for Sam to walk up next to me, she then hugs me. I can smell her scent and feel her heat. It is a combination of my natural attraction to her and her succubus heritage but I feel content.
Sam and I reluctantly separate and I turn to watch Lancer opening the door.
Lancer yells out, "I can't wait to see Tetslaff's face."
"Nobody moves!" We hear Jack and Maddie yell.
Suddenly, Lancer is covered in green foam. We watch as both Maddie and Jack, firing their bazookas, Maddie looks intently and Jack looks with a wide smile. As Lancer screams, Jack and Maddie stop firing and look on with regret.
"Oh," we hear the very recognizable voice of Tetslaff, "Everyone looks to the left."
'Guess it's time to go on crowd control,' I thought before running towards the door.
As I get behind him I hear, "Nice theme, Lancer."
I push past him, "Actually Couch," this catches everyone's attention but I continue, "the true attractions are inside." I motion to my 'parents', "Mrs. Lancer I'm sure they could help you get the foam off of you." I then turn to the new group, "if you would please follow Tucker to Dash's ride, how unfortunately had to take a moment to calm his nerves, and afterwards I'll be going into my maze three at a time of course."
Tetslaff nods and leads her group into the old house, Lancer walks over to Jack and Maddie how got the Fenton Extractor from off of Jack's back, luckily enough Tucker heard me and made his way to Dash's ride and Sam and I walked back inside.
Meanwhile with Jack, Maddie and Lancer
3rd(POV)
Maddie with an apologetic look, "We are terribly sorry about this Mrs. Lancer."
Lancer says with indignation in his voice, "It's quite alright, I know your eccentric personality but I must know why you're here?"
Jack proudly yells as Maddie vacuums the foam off of Lancer, "There was an ecto-storm at this location."
Lancer looks at Maddie and asks, "What's an ecto-storm?"
Maddie looks at him, "An ecto-storm is the accumulation of all ectoplasm in an area, normally they form when the ectoplasm in an area is so saturated that it becomes a fog, however on Halloween they tend to attract the paranormal."
Lancer frowns, "But what caused it."
Maddie shrugs, "It's like the early days of the weather forecast, we aren't sure."
Jack then says, "I'm more impressed with Danny-boy's crowd control ability."
Maddie nods as she begins on Lancer's knees, "Yes I must agree, we are constantly surprised with his level of maturity."
Lancer then comments, "Daniel does seem to have a higher than average level of maturity than his peers."
Time Skip
Hours later Danny walked Sam home, fortunately her guardians where in Paris for the next week or so.
Sam planned on rewarding him for saving from the Fright Knight.
