Dark in the Island

Chapter three: The second hunt

It was a cold and windless night as anxiety like none ever felt before embraced Kimberly’s heart as she doubtfully followed a queer-looking man dressed in a black coat and black fedora hat going under the name of Doctor Belt Rant into what she assumed was the town’s hospital, it was an old and dilapidated building casting a great many doubts within the girl as she wanted to ask why a place of such importance was located over two-hour car ride from the town just up a steep hill and beyond a tall brick wall, the girl simply assumed that it was the rich part of town, a gated community like many found in Amity Park.

The building in itself was antique, perhaps dating back to the 1800s lacking much of the more modern equipment that current society was so accustomed to seeing, nevertheless, Kimberly was expecting so much given the outdated state of the island. Most of the townsfolk still resorted to candles and oil lamps to illuminate their homes along with fireplaces in the living room to keep warm during the abnormally cold nights making the use of electric lightbulbs something almost impressive for the blonde cheerleader who stood dumbfounded at the lobby.

It was then that a young busty nurse sitting over the front desk quickly greeted courteously at the duo once saw them standing in the hospital’s lobby making Kimberly feel much more at ease upon seeing the woman and several more nurses roaming around, each one with half of their faces covered by a surgical mask yet with an impressive bosom. Her eyes shifted towards the bulky computer resting over the front desk giving more credit to the alleged doctor. Just above the desk read a sign, North Mercy Hospital.

“Come child. Your brother is in the ICU.”- the doctor spoke making Kimberly turn over to him with horror in her eyes. “We managed to stabilize him and is currently out of danger”- the man assured.

The cheerleader tilted her head upon seeing doctor Belt Rant trade his black outdoor garments for a white gown with a matching cap that covered his head along with a surgical mask that conceal most of his face showing only parts of his grey skin, even Kimberly knew thanks to several horror movies that such uniforms hadn’t been used in more than a hundred years. The man had a slight curve on his back and was rather thin. Only now was that the cheerleader understood how foolish she had been for willingly following a man who claimed to know her brother’s whereabouts despite showing no proof at all, the girl knew that if her mother ever found out that she got inside a man’s car at the dead of night would lose her mind and most likely ground her for life, but that was the least of her concerns at the time being.

Kimberly followed the doctor down the hallway with trepidation while listening to strange noises coming from the closed rooms, sounds of machines that didn’t belong in a hospital such as power drills and electric saws that filled her inner core with horror yet assumed the place was undergoing renovations, the girl stopped at an open door seeing the outline of a person sitting over the bed held by a strange contraption beyond a thin curtain, her eyes opened wide in utter shocked as the silhouette of a nurse made itself present holding an oversize power drill to the man’s head only for the door to close before her eyes but could be heard muffled screams coming from within. She dreads the kind of procedures her brother had gone through.

“I must admit that some of our methods might be a little unconventional and perhaps a little outdated, but I guarantee their effectiveness.” Doctor Belt Rant said as he opened the door leading to Nathan.

A loud and terrified gasp escaped from Kimberly as she saw her brother prostrated over the bed covered in bandages, tubes running into his mouth and nose, half a dozen more incrusted into his chest and lower regions along with a dozen infusion tubes, never had she ever dared to dream seeing Nathan in such miserable conditions. The girl suddenly felt weak as she fell over his knees feeling a strange hollow forming within her stomach, tears streaming down her face ruining her makeup.

“What happened?”- Kimberly asked almost in a whisper.

“I happened to come across him on my way to the hospital late last night, this is clearly the result of a monster attack.”- The man said approaching Nathan reading several of the injuries, chief among them were the broken bones and deep lacerations along with serious concussions. “It’s already a miracle that he’s still alive.”- Belt Rant added.

The girl felt horrible as she blamed herself for her brother’s current state, had she simply said no to both Paulina and Dash’s shenanigans all of this could have been avoided, she would be at her house planning on going to the movies with her boyfriend while Nathan indulged himself in his beloved videogames, rather than fighting for his life. Kimberly little by little understood just how much had Nathan put up for her, being constantly bullied and humiliated by the football team, forced to clean up after having intercourse with one or several players, no one should be subjected to such treatment, but he sucked it up for her, so she could be part of the A-list which now meant nothing.

“Is there something that I can do?”- the girl asked.

“Matter of fact, there is a procedure.”- Doctor Belt Rant said. “It’s a little bit unorthodox but has proven to give excellent results.”- the man concluded.

“I’ll do anything to help, Nathan.”- the girl said tears coming out.

She had been too cruel to her own brother while he had done all in his power to protect her, only now seeing his great efforts. Keeping her safe but also giving her enough space to grow however misguided, Kimberly would surely treat Nathan as the king he is, listening to his advice and quitting the cheerleader team, she could now see how bad things really are.

It was later that night that Danny sat over the window frame allowing for the refreshing winds to embrace his naked torso while overviewing the vast and frightful forest, listening to the horrible moaning coming from the woods, monsters of all sorts crying for their fallen love ones never before had the boy ever thought such abominations to have emotions or feelings for that matter. The green mist that emanated from the trees and made the ocean line glow was dreadfully eerie which made Danny most worried despite having a successful first day of hunting, many monsters mainly from the octopus sort had met their end at the tip of his blade or by a well-placed energy blast from the rifle.

The town by his accounts was considered safe thanks to an antique wall that divided the forest from the town itself and was covered by vines along with strange flowers named “Blood Blossoms” that for one or another reason made him weary upon coming close, prove came when a child, Tommy, approached him earlier that evening with a small bouquet of these accursed flowers in a matter of gratitude, though was under the false impression that Danny was actually female due to his handsome face that no male from the island could ever resemble followed by the skin-tight plug suit that embraced his body in the wrong fashion. Not a second after taking hold of the bouquet was that Danny felt light-headed, even dizzy making him lose his balance only recovering after dropping the flowers.

Never before had something like this ever happened to him, the boy was more than sure to not be allergic to any type of fauna or pollen as symptoms would have already manifested during his earlier years, his strange reaction might have been due specifically to the Blood Blooms. For a moment, Danny was about to discard the concept due to these flowers being found all around the island, until recalling the use of the plug suit and gas mask that prevented any pollen from the plant to reach him, further analysis was that he fell ill soon after taking a sniff of the flower which led to his strange reaction. His parents and the town boy were rather quick to dismiss the strange reaction out of politeness, but it keeps Danny awake.

There was also the strange and most inexplicable sexual arousal that he felt soon after arriving at the island that seems to be increasing, Danny was like most other boys his age who began exploring their own sexually after taking notice of the opposite sex and it was true that he enjoyed the occasional X-rated movie or adult comic book, even masturbated once or twice a week especially after having endured the monotonous lectures at Casper high school and dealing with Dash Baxter’s mischiefs, but was by no means a pervert who spend the entire night watching adult movies while frenetically masturbating over and over, or spending all day at school or the shopping mall drooling over girls, undressing them with his eyes.

The same couldn’t be said about his closest and most trusted best friend, Tucker Foley who at the moment was deep in slumber, though earlier that night soon after closing the canopy bed’s curtain and turning off the lights was that he immediately began jerking off after putting on an adult movie in his laptop, even with the headphones encrusted in his head, Danny could hear the actresses moaning along with the wet smacking sounds making him wonder how Tucker could endure the high volume. The curtain in itself didn’t provide complete discretion as the boy’s silhouette could be seen once Danny’s eyes adjusted to the dark allowing for the screen’s glow to cast over his dark skin friend.

Danny sighed out loud as he made his way towards the nightstand taking hold of his phone and scrolling over the handful of adult videos that Tucker had downloaded for him before their voyage, claiming that he would need them during the cold lonely nights, Danny smirked unable to believe that his friend was right, Tucker seemed to have a preference for nuns as all the videos were about women dressed a sexualized version of the religious robes, using the confessionary as some sort of glory hole where they would “suck” the sin out of men. A few priests also made an appearance as well as they slept with the nuns or took advantage of some naïve girls.

Danny on the other hand preferred the more classic take of blonde-haired bimbos with large plastic breasts, or his more recent preference, sexy hot Latinas. Just as Danny was about to pull down his underwear after selecting a movie that had a blonde nun was that he heard a soft knock on the door. The boy was taken aback as it was almost midnight making it far too late for a visitor, the idea that perhaps someone from the staff forgot to give him something came to mind, Danny looked over to his energy pistol that rested over the nightstand, yet shook his head as no ghost or monster would announce their presence by knocking on the door, even the ghost tracker remained in the silence.

“Better see who it is”- Danny said to himself while taking hold of a lantern to illuminate his path.

A second soft knocking confirmed that he wasn’t imagining the sounds and that was someone on the other side, Danny gently opened the door making sure not to make too much noise, his eyes open wide as he witnessed none other than Paulina Sanchez and Star Anderson standing at his doorsteps, both dressed in see-through nightgowns that made him gulp down hard. The girls smiled at him as they gently shoved him to the side to gain entry. The boy was perplexed as he never expected either of them to come to see him so late at night making him wonder their reasons, Danny wanted to punch himself for foolishly thinking that they had come over to sleep with him, most likely the product of having watched too many adult movies.

“I’m so glad that you’re here, Danny”- the Latina cheerleader said as she put her hands over Danny’s bare chest.

“Good to know there’s a real man around.”- Star added as she placed her hand over Danny’s hips making him jolt.

The girls then guided Danny towards his bed using the lantern while ignoring the loud snoring coming from Tucker who was sleeping like a rock, Paulina was rather impressed to see the vastness of Danny’s bedroom, twice the size of her own meant only him and Tucker while she was stuck in a room with ten people including herself which didn’t seem fair in the least. Star on the hand wondered if Vlad was already onto them, and was aware that Dash had falsified his ghost hunter triple-A status, she couldn’t help but fear that in the morning there would at least a dozen staff members ready to kick them out or worst yet, send them to a dungeon as she doubted the island had a modern judicial system.

“Can I… uh… help… you with something?”- Danny squeaked as the trio sat down on the bed.

(XXXXXX)

Paulina and Star stared in admiration at Danny’s boyhood which stood firm and throbbing in front of them, never had either of them seen a penis of such size and grid, veins popped out from the shaft as a dark gland stared back at them, it was slightly intimidating as it appeared to belong to a different boy, a man for that matter as it didn’t match with Danny’s cute face and curvy body, both girls had only ever slept with members from the football team who all had similar size genitals which were half of what Danny had, but it was a well-kept secret that Dash Baxter was hardly bigger than Paulina’s pinky at best.

Immense pleasure overwhelmed Danny’s entire body forcing him to arc his back as Paulina introduced his hard penis inside her mouth, yet didn’t dare to shove the entire thing further down her throat as she had never taken one so big and feared gagging on it, ruining the mood, she could feel her mouth stretching far and wide making Star gulped down in utter amazement. Never before had either girl seen anyone with a such mass between their legs, had the cheerleader seen a nude picture of Danny would have without a moment's doubt assumed and even mock him for having photoshopped a fake penis over his own, but seeing the real thing cast away any doubt.

“Damn, this is harder than I thought”- Paulina thought as she took Danny out of her mouth. She meant this both figuratively and physically,

The tan cheerleader prided herself by being able to make any member of the football ejaculate within the first thirty seconds of her well-practiced fellatio, and yet, it had been nearly fifteen minutes without Danny showing any signs of being near climax which not only puzzled Paulina, but also worried her greatly as she was now under the assumption that her skills in the bed department weren’t as refined as she was led to believe by her official boyfriend, Dash Baxter or his cronies that praised her skills. It was then that she turned her gaze over to Danny who was eager to continue, yet made no such comment. Nevertheless, the cheerleader didn’t want to continue sucking on the boy out of fear of embarrassing herself thanks to her tired and sore jaw.

Paulina then seductively crawled over the head of the bed and laid flat on her back spreading both legs wide apart much to Danny’s glee who despite the darkness around could still make out the cheerleader’s vagina thanks to the moonlight that granted a romantic ambiance. The cheerleader’s heart was beating faster and faster as she saw Danny approaching her while guiding his massive meat rod, much to the girl’s shame her shivers weren’t due to the cold night but fear as she had never been penetrated by such a large penis.

Star gulped down as she heard her best friend let out a sudden and rather loud gasp once Danny slid inside, the tan girl arcs her back while her hands clutched onto the bedsheet, both legs stretching far and wide as a reaction. Soft whimpers echoed within the bedroom as the boy was “balls deep,” inside Paulina who grasp his back with both hands feeling the momentary pain of having her drenched vaginal walls stretched out almost immediately traded for unspeakable pleasure that she was unaware of even existed. The blonde-haired cheerleader gazed dumbfounded at the sight before her eyes, she had seen Paulina penetrated many times before but never like this.

“Wow, this is… something”- Paulina muttered as she grew accustomed to the size.

Danny, on the other hand, couldn’t believe that he was living the dream, how many boys from school had fantasized about having Paulina Sanchez naked in their beds? To be making love to her, to feel her warm and soft body, a privilege reserved only for members of the football team according to the crude and rather distasteful chatter spoken in the school bathrooms long after the final bell rang, Danny vehemently refused to believe that the cheerleaders were the players personal cumdumps, that was surely a cliché taken from movies and spread by jealous girls who didn’t like the cheerleaders' diva attitudes. The sudden flash coming from behind the boy broke their romantic gaze.

“Umm… congratulation on losing your virginity?”- Star said with a smile that was lost in the dark as she put Danny’s phone over the bed.

A sudden moan escaped from Paulina’s lips as Danny pulls his hips back scraping her inners with his hard cock, never had either of them felt such intense pleasure. It didn’t matter how many jocks the girl had slept with; none could even come remotely close to Danny nor were able to make her feel what she was experiencing. The sounds of wet smacking sound echoed within Star’s ears as she watched in utter silence as the cute boy was swaying his hips in and out of her best friend’s drenched cunt making her moan loud and long, neither caring that Tucker was sleeping on the bed beside, the blonde cheerleader had never heard Paulina speak in Spanish before but could make out the words, Papi and cachondo which he didn’t understand the meaning of yet were repeated constantly.

Paulina’s legs stretched as far as they could reach while her entire body quivered and her face showed an expression of pure satisfaction as she reached an orgasm, never had Star seen such an expression on her best friend after sleeping with Dash or Jerome, the girl would normally just stand up and head to the shower to wash off, but not this time, now she laid on the bed panting, enjoying the afterglow while warm cum leaks out of her leaving a small puddle between her legs that was soon absorbed by the sheets. Paulina took a quick looked at her glow-in-the-dark watched and was surprised to see that it was almost two in the morning making her realize that they had been having sex for nearly two whole hours.

“Should we…?”- Danny asked looking at Star.

The blonde-haired cheerleader was shocked to see Danny was still hard and ready for more, it was already impressive that he could last for so long, none of the jocks lasted more than twenty minutes at best, and only Jerome was able to ask for seconds after resting for nearly thirty minutes. But Danny was already hard despite having cum like an open faucet inside Paulina, she had to admit that she was afraid but also extremely aroused and curious, her wet cunt wanted to know what it felt to be penetrated by a real man. Star was by no means a fool like most of her peers, despite her bimbo-like appearance, she was in fact on the honor roll with high grades and well-read.

She knew that a one-inch cock like the one Dash had, was in no way that of an alpha male as he claimed to be, surely the side effect of the steroids that the teams so like to take when no one is looking, yet made no real effect to conceal their drug intake. The girl then got on all fours exposing her wet vagina to Danny who eagerly placed himself behind, Star clenched her teeth upon feeling the boy sliding inside of her, forcing his way deeper into her body, the meat rod was hot and throbbing, but oddly endearing. For a moment, could have sworn that her lower half was welcoming the boy of its own volition as her inner folds wrapped around the boy, unwilling to let go of him.

Star allowed for a powerful moan to escape her lips as she felt Danny forcing his way inside of her, she could swear something was ripping inside of her which made no sense as she had long lost her virginity to Kwan, her official boyfriend. The girl sure that even with his small size, Kwan must have torn her hymen already, at least one of the many boys that she had been with must-have, her eyes open wide in shock as Danny took hold of her wide hips and began violently ramming his crotch unto her making Star moan loud as all pain had vanished leaving only pleasure. Star’s breasts bounced back and forth with each powerful strike from Danny’s hips until filling her with his cum.

Danny suddenly woke up startled by his cellphone’s alarm, he instantly covered his eyes upon being struck by the bright morning sun that broke through the window and the canopy. Blinded and still half asleep was that he sways his arm around the bed searching for Paulina or Star who had fallen asleep beside him, but there was no sign of either girl forcing him to sit up wondering if everything had been nothing more than an extremely realistic wet dream, his hand met with a soft fabric that didn’t belong to the bed, two G-strings, one black and the other red followed by a note that thanked him for the wonderful night and the energy guns.

A long and wide smile came upon Danny’s face as he brought the underwear to his nose, unable to believe what had happened, two of the most popular and most beautiful girls had come over to him seeking “loving,” it was then that Danny slapped his forehead after realizing that he surrender two prototype energy guns that he and his father had recently developed along with an energy Pungi stick, Danny wasn’t thinking with the right head at the time and sure to be grounded for the rest of the summer for it, but surely his father would understand once he told him about spending the night with two beautiful girls. It was then that his train of thoughts was interrupted by the sounds of hip-hop music forcing him to poke his head through the curtains.

“What in the name of Vortex are you doing, dude?”- Danny asked bemused by his friend.

“Can’t you tell? I’m working out… gotta stay fit if I want to impress the ladies.”- Tucker replied firmly.

Danny couldn’t help but to giggled as his best friend was doing an aerobics routine that he had seen both his mother and sister doing on many occasions back at Fenton Works, yet seeing a boy doing a similar routine was laughable, even more, amusing was seeing Tucker punching and kicking the air while wearing spandex shorts and a top that exposed his belly, both teens had dressed in similar fashion during gym class, Tucker despite being on the thin side and having a flat tummy didn’t have the same firmness as Danny who sported a faint six-pack abdomen that was every boy’s envy during shower time.

“Are you shadow boxing, dude?”- Danny commented with bemusement in his voice.

“Pretty obvious, man. Gotta keep my cardio up.”- Tucker said as he straightens himself. “Went out jogging this morning, there’s a shit ton of people out there, we have a fan base, man.”- the boy continued with cheer.

It was then that Danny crawled out from the canopy feeling a sudden aching around his crotch most likely the result of slamming his hips unto Paulina’s large yet soft butt, his legs wobbled as if he had run an entire marathon while heading over to the window where he saw a multitude of people gathered just beyond the street, the previous hunt had clearly left an impression on the local population as no one had been able to cause so much damage over the beasts. The highly advanced equipment and space-like weapons had only been seen in books of science fiction that were now being purchased from the local library as a means to better understand the strange outsiders.

“Wow, I guess they really liked us. And here, I thought they would arrive with pitchforks and torches ready to kick us out of town for startling the monsters.”- Danny commented with amusement.

A sudden slap on the butt surprised Danny greatly forcing him to turn around and see Tucker smiling while walking back towards the door while taking hold of a sweater and reminding him to get dressed before heading down for breakfast, seeing that they had a long day ahead of them, they would be needing the extra energy. Danny had completely forgotten about getting dressed before exiting the canopy bed, though had a good reason to have forgotten as he spent the most incredible night of his fourteen years of life. The two boys were used to seeing each naked due to taking showers together along with the rest of the class soon after gym class was over.

Jazz Fenton slowly sat up over the bed opening her eyes moments before the alarm clock went off, the girl groaned as she looked outside the window and seeing the bright blue sky, a loud yawn escapes her lips while she stretched her arms and legs, even cracking her back before getting out of the bed and heading over to the sink to freshen up, it was then that the teen noticed a large crowd of people gathered across the iron fence, she was sure it wasn’t a mob ready to kick them out, the lack of pitchforks and torches was enough proof. Jazz was sure that parading a dead cyclops and several Ectopuss across town had helped raise morale.

There was a strange sense of pride that Jazz rarely ever felt, it was the first time that she and her family had taken such a large job. Most of the time they would be done within the hour, a few blasts here and there were more than enough to get rid of most ghosts and monsters. After a quick shower, the redhead made sure to have packed all the necessary items she would need during the hunt, other than her sidearm, all weapons were safe in the GAV which was nearly impossible to breach via normal means.

“Yo, Jazz!! Wake up, breakfast time!”- a boyish voice came from beyond the door followed by a rattling on the doorknob. “Hurry up or dad’s gonna eat your share.”- the boy added once Jazz announced that she was in the bathroom.

Soon after a delightful breakfast of hot cakes and bacon which were most likely considered a luxurious meal by Casper Island standards due to the difficulty of obtaining such ingredients was that the crowd of townsfolk watched in utter fascination at the ghost hunter, though it was the Fenton family that stood out the most as they prepared for their next hunt at the hotel’s courtyard, their oddly colorful outfits and highly advanced weapons were jaw openers. Wes waved his hand at the mass but got no response despite his semi-military outfit that still consisted of the tactical vest over their daily wears, the boy and his two female companions Britany and Sarah vehemently refused to dress in the skin-tight plug suit the Fenton family used as uniform, despite having formed an alliance.

The two girls considered such garments as borderline exhibitionists despite being completely covered from head to toe in a hardened plastic layer, yet it didn’t conceal their figures in the least as it seemed as if it was merely painted over. Wes on the other hand was overly enjoying the sight of Jazz who paraded in such an outfit while reading her machine gun, never had he expected his nerdy friend to be such a wild card, firing such a heavy weapon like a professional soldier, it didn’t match with her outward appearance, the boy could picture the redhead reading under the shade of a tree rather than marching off to war.

Wes and the girls then turned their attention towards the cyclops’ corpse that had been lifted with ropes for all the town to see, it was a gruesome sight, to say the least, people rallied around the dead monster tossing rocks and rotten fruits, a few townies had even set up shop to sell food while gawking at the monsters that had been displayed over the fence. A few heads were impaled at the main entrance, rather than being the cause of disgust and repugnance, there was a feeling of festivity all around. Seeing their oppressors humiliated was a breath of fresh air.

“Excuse me, mister Fenton”- A male voice spoke bringing about everyone’s attention. “Hello, my name is Tristan William the third, and I work for the Amity Park post.” – Ghost Writer said as he presented a business card.

Though the man wasn’t a reporter per se had amble studies in journalism along with providing social articles for the Amity Park Post for whom he had worked for nearly a decade, now dedicated most of his time to writing his books rather than doing the editorial work that he was hired for. His boss didn’t mind much after seeing the success of his first publication which the Post published and was making a good profit off, if the next books were an equal success, then Ghost Writer would finally consider himself a real author. Even so, every now and again had to commit to his editorial position by presenting a social article for the newspaper.

“How can I help you?”- Jack asked with a huge smile while putting his massive arm around the smaller man’s shoulder in a friendly yet dominating gesture.

“Yes, I heard about your ghost hunting endeavors and I was hoping that you would allow me to…”- Ghost Writer said clearing his throat. “To write an article about this ghost hunting adventure for the human-interest section that I work at?”- Tristan added with a smile.

Jazz walked up to the writer with a smile that didn’t escape from Wes’s attention but made no comment about it, as he assumed that the reporter was only there to mock the Fenton family, yet promised to write an article about their ghost hunts under the claims that such honorable endeavors were always undermined and undervalued by the common folk, the man hopes that his article though only in the social section would provide a new inside towards the ghost hunters. It was equally surprising that Tristan wanted to write a fictional book using one of the Fenton family members as the base for his lead character with the hopes of perhaps humanizing the ghost hunters.

“I think that’s a wonderful idea.”- Maddie interjected.

“I was hoping to use your daughter as a base for this character, marketing told me that the current trends are for brave, strong, and independent women, yet made great emphasis on being young.”- Ghost Writer continued.

Danny ignored the conversation between his parents and this reporter as his eyes set over Paulina who was sitting near the Groovy Gang’s van, her expression was dreamy and distracted, it took all of his willpower not to march over and asked her to join his team, there was no way that she would agree due to the Latina and her best friend being still under Dash’s spell for a lack of a better word, the girls were unable to leave him for too long which bothered Danny greatly. Tucker suddenly blocked his view as he stood directly in front waving at the crowd and flexing his nonexistent muscles making Danny frown in frustration yet deciding to wave at the people as well who roared and cheer for him.

It was then that he noticed Tommy standing amidst the crowd watching him with a dreamy expression, perhaps even lovestruck which frustrated Danny immensely as he was well aware that the boy wasn’t fully convinced of his masculinity, but didn’t want to break the illusion the child had built around him by resorting to more drastic measures, nevertheless, it was quite uncomfortable and slightly flattering to have become his personal wet dream, surely, Tommy hadn’t seen anyone with his looks. There was no harm in letting the young kid continue in his error as they would never meet again after the hunt was over.

Wes frowned as he laid eyes over Tristan who sat next to Jazz, taking immediate dislike and animosity towards him as he was smiling and chattering with the love of his life like old school friends despite the clear age gap between them which bothered the teen greatly, even Danny took noticed of the over-familiarity between his sister and this reporter who asked about her position in the team and what kind of weaponry she employed along with her thoughts about the creatures they were slaying, nothing seemed out of the ordinary or too personal, the man did seem bothered once Maddie told him that her daughter was only sixteen and one of the best ghost hunters in all of Amity Park. Personally trained by her in hand-to-hand combat and marksmanship.

“Mom! Danny is a much better fighter than I could ever be.”- the redhead said shifting the attention from herself towards her younger brother. Jazz never did like being the center of attention, especially after her classmates cruelly ignored her when commenting about the possibility of obtaining a scholarship to Yale or Harvard. “He took down twelve Ectopuss with that sword and gunned down the cyclops.”- the girl commented.

The reporter turned his attention over to the small boy unable to believe that someone so frail looking and even cute was capable of causing so much damage to such terrifying creatures, but Jazz assured him that her brother had killed over a dozen of the dreaded ecto-puss using his sword and handgun during the morning, along with spending the afternoon hunting down plenty of werewolves, and taking down the giant. The boy spent the rest of the day sniping down a variation of the Ectopuss called the Ecto-squid alongside Tucker Foley who proved to be a decent enough sniper though not nearly as good as Danny, the boy ended his day by scouting the fortress which held the hunters' main target, the fortress.

“My Nocturne, that’s beyond amazing. Maybe I should make you the main character in my new book.”- Ghost Writer said clearly impressed by the teenager.

Despite his credentials and having graduated in journalism with full honors, Tristan had no desires whatsoever in becoming a reporter much less a news anchor like his colleagues Harriet Chin and Chad Summers who were of the overly ambitious sort, though often doing activities of doubtful morality just to obtain a scoop, worst yet was how they mocked his lack of ambition. Ghost Writer chose to serve in the editorial department at Amity Park post from nine to five, not because he wasn’t ambitious, it was so his work wouldn’t get in the path of his true passion, writing. Those who called his book a waste of good talent were silent upon seeing it published.

Even though the cheer and happiness of seeing his first book publish and quickly trending, even daring to say that it was on the to becoming a best seller couldn’t compare to the emotion he was experiencing at the time being, the man felt as if he were a war correspondent upon seeing the fortress main gate explode via a rocket fired by the GAV. Wood and steel were sent flying across the skies as the Ghost Breakers rushed in carrying Jeremy and Pamela on their ATVs.

“Man, Harriet Chin is gonna freaked once she sees this footage.”- Tristan muttered as he filmed the attack.

Ghost Writer pressed his back against the wall a few meters away from the blasted door and just in time to see the GAV advancing, his handheld camera focused mainly on Jazz who sat on top of the armored vehicle firing her machine gun over the horde of horrible multi-legged abominations that shriek in pain as they were mowed down, even with the gas mask on, she emanated an aura of full concentration and sheer focus. Danny and Tucker rushed alongside the vehicle firing their ecto energy rifles and tossing ecto energy grenades taking full advantage of the initial confusion.

It was then that the Groovy gang rushed in as fast as their poorly maintained van allowed them to, the white tiger lunged out of the passenger side window a second after stopping the vehicle ripping apart an unsuspecting ecto-squid as its owners rushed out firing their pistols at a small group of ecto-pusses, meanwhile from the back doors came out Dash Baxter wielding one of Danny’s energy pistols acting all broody and macho as if he were the protagonist in an action movie fully dressed in his favorite Leatherman jacket while the rest of the team followed up, the boys dressed as their brave leader while the girls sported their cheerleader uniform.

Star, on the other hand, took possession of the second energy pistol as she vehemently refused to surrender such a weapon to any of the boys, the cheerleader didn’t trust their hand-eye coordination or mental capacity despite their demands for the firearm and claimed that she wouldn’t be able to use it, reminding her that fighting was a man’s job and that she needed to stay back where it was safe, nevertheless, the blonde-haired girl proved to be a much better shot than her male counterpart, firing seven shots and hitting her target three times while Dash empties his energy clips in a matter of minutes without hitting a single monster.

Tristan filmed with slight amusement as the two jocks kept the monsters at bay by means of a creep-o-stick and giant metallic Q-tip otherwise known as Pugil stick, the leader Dash Baxter tried fruitlessly to reload his fancy weapon while the remaining three girls did the only thing they could do, cheer. The cheerleaders performed their favorite routine as a means to encourage their fighters and intimidate the monsters though their twerking was more arousing than intimidating. Ghost Writer didn’t find this in the least strange as two of the ten teams that answered Vlad’s call were of the religious sort and performed similar rituals.

One group of zealots composed of twelve robed individuals formed a circle while chanting and reciting verses from a book in hopes of exorcising the ghosts, another more radical religious group sang as loudly as they could while spraying holy water. Their chants were eventually disturbed by a horde of oversized mosquitos that threatened with impaling them with their elongated stingers, one robed figure, a female due to the screaming was being taken away after being stabbed by the long needle that protruded from the monster’s face, yet missed her body mere inches. The mosquito suddenly exploded but not due to the holy water and prayers which did nothing to stop the creature, but a bullet fired from Danny’s long rifle.

Danny aimed his energy rifle and fired eight times popping that number of ecto-pusses in a row much to Dash’s fury who was still unable to slay a single creature much less reload his weapon, a large ecto-squid suddenly leaps toward Danny in an attempt to capture him yet the boy managed to blow it in pieces with a single well-placed shot between the tentacles. It was then that he noticed three werewolves heading towards the Groovy Gang’s van where he saw Mikey was hiding, Tucker whistled in approval as his best friend took down the canines at a distance of over one hundred meters. Tucker didn’t stay behind as he managed to gun down four werewolves and one Ectopuss with his rifle.

The watchtower by the far end corner suddenly came down after being struck by one of the Red Huntress rockets leaving nothing more than a plum of dust as she continued flying around and firing laser beams at the many flying monsters, claiming full dominance over the skies. Tristan knew this was probably a whole spectacle for the townies that were most likely watching in utter awe from their rooftops and high windows. The army team led by Tanya, the mullet-wearing female commander walked in a line firing their ecto-rifles at the mass of monsters after the Fenton team spearheaded the assault, the monsters howled and shrieked as they charged against the hunters.

But their efforts were futile as all met with their diabolical maker. Danny kneeled and aimed his sniper rifle at a charging cyclops, blinding him with a single well place shot, unfortunately, he had more firepower to take down such a monster hence asking his dad via the communicator to blast the monster to kingdom come. It was then that the boy noticed the Manson family fighting to keep their ground, there were already a dozen monsters laying dead around Jeremy and his wife, the two had learned much after their first encounter which made Danny feel much calmer. Sam was able to headshot a werewolf that leaped towards her. Silence suddenly overtook the courtyard as the few monsters that remained rushed towards the fortress.

Ghost Writer stood in utter bewilderment as he stared at the remains of the battle that ended moments after Red Huntress took down the third tower, it all seemed so surreal. Dozens of ecto-pusses, ecto-squids, giant mosquitos, and a few werewolves lay in pieces across the courtyard, the cyclops was beheaded by a GAV rocket. It looked like a battlefield from a not-so-distant future or a fantasy setting due to the flurry of lights and zapping. The battle lasted less than ten minutes, and despite having a numerical advantage over the hunters, the monsters ran away screaming and howling.

“Excuse me, mister Fenton! Why did these creatures suddenly abandon the battle, they easily outnumber your troops by a least twenty to one?” – Tristan asked, sure that this would be Harriet’s line of inquiry.

“First of all, I’m not leading any troop, and second these creatures despite being called Ghosts have nothing to do with the paranormal, mystic, or divine. It’s just a misunderstanding the GIW cause some years ago.”- Jack replied loud and proud making the religious zealots turn over to him glaring. “These are interdimensional animals, not soldiers or demons. Seeing their kind die in such numbers would scare away any man or beast.”- Jack concluded as he made hand gestures towards his wife and son.

It was then that the Fenton team in the company of Wes’s team ran towards the nearest building, a two-story brick house that served as a guardhouse and an office which Tristan found most intriguing as the construction resembled that of an 1800s manor completed with balconies and dried out gardens. The man couldn’t help but wondered if Jack and Maddie were once part of the Governmental Investigation Ward best known as the GIW due to their vast knowledge of the paranormal along with having high combat skills that were seemingly passed down to their children. Danny moved like a well-drilled marine while his older sister kept deadly aim over the guardhouse. There wasn’t much of interest within the building save for two ecto-squids that Danny promptly dispatched using his rifle, the edifice was oddly luxurious for what it was, with large rooms that resembled a lord’s manor rather than a guardhouse.

The fortress was bigger than what anyone expected, nearly the same proportions as the town with many more buildings of varying sizes yet kept the same gothic style, the main constructions were spread around the main plaza where a flagless pole would be seen such as an old horse stable which was positioned to the left of the plaza just beyond a small street next to a large three-story building with a sign that read “Amity Barracks,” Dash and his gang didn’t waste any time in ransacking the building though could only find ancient and rather useless muskets. Following this were the blacksmith and the post office which held little interest to anyone.

Most constructions resembled apartments buildings or manors allowing for the ghost hunters to assume there was a time when the fortress was far more active than what history led them to believe, yes, the town was originally built for the wealthy people of Amity Park, but the capital invested in this particular fortress was unimaginably vast. Tristan and the ghost hunters could now fully understand why Vlad was willing to pay such absurd amounts of money to have his fort back, in retrospect, they were getting paid pocket change for what the town mayor was going to make once he markets the place as a tourist attraction or a vacation resort for the rich.

Chief among these buildings was the fortress’s crown jewel, the castle. It was the most impressive sight that anyone had ever laid eyes upon, such structure had to be unique in the country if not the continent due to its outstanding size and gothic design, made with the blackest stone ever seen by human eyes with four imposing towers, two by the tall wooden entrance that could only be reached via the bridge, there was at least a whole kilometer between the other two towers that stood proud at the corners, large windows for musketeers and canons. It was then that Danny leans over the rusty railing to gaze below where he saw a dock and a river that connected with the two sides of the ocean.

“Hello, Daniel. Quick question, why does everyone here think this place is the nest?”- Tristan asked seeing that Danny was alone as he recalled hearing Jack claiming this place was a ghost nest, which aroused too many questions. “I mean there’s plenty of places where they could nest such as the mountain or further into the forest.”- the man continued.

“Vlad hired us mainly to get rid of the ghosts roaming in his castle.”- Danny replied turning over to him and tossing a small square box that Tristan caught by using his chest and hands. “That’s a ghost tracker, all teams have one. The recruitment center at the shopping mall hands them over as part of a startup kit, but my dad makes them better.”- Danny broke a sensual smile.

It was then that Danny looked over to the black castle as the ghost hunter teams marched in one by one lured by the promise of riches and adventure completely ignoring Jack’s demands for proper planning, Dash send a daring glare over at Danny who wasn’t intimidated by the taller jock as they were now in his turf.

“I guess this is the point of no return.”- Ghost Writer whispered as he followed Jazz close behind.
