It has been about a few months since the events that had changed Danny into the hidden class called, Halfa, which made him half ghost. Because of this event, the newborn Halfa has been doing his best to keep his newfound status a secret from the other players besides Sam and Tucker, but so far it hasn't been easy hiding or controlling it. His newfound power would activate at the most awkward times in either form, causing him to turn invisible, start sinking into the ground or objects or going right through the enemies he was fighting. So far he had been lucky that no one noticed the strange behavior and events that happened around him, especially when around a certain annoying group of people. This group of people were the A-Listers which have been doing their best to treat the trio the same way they would in the real world, which meant, they would try to make their stay more difficult than it should be. Danny was just glad that whenever his powers decided to activate on their own accord when the A-Listers where around, the group were a bit too clueless to notice anything strange that happened to him or just thought it just had to do with what they call, "his freakiness," which was good enough for him.

From the last few months, Sam, Tucker and Danny had gotten stronger and had gained new weapons and armor. Sam was now around level thirty-nine and was wearing a black top with black lace like short sleeves with a bat like design and a purple oval gem on the chest, a black skort with a barely noticeable purple spider web design, black combat boots and fingerless gloves. Resting on her back was a stronger battle ax called the Midnight Slasher, it had a much stronger attack power then what the Ghost Battle Ax had. It was a pure black battle ax with the edge of the blade a dark purple and had the same coloring for the engravings on the handle. On her hip rested a much more powerful crossbow called Ivory Lighting, it had a faster firing rate and stronger firing power. It's stock, foregrip, and limb were black with the rest a silver coloring and the string glowing a soft whitish blue.

Tucker was now around level thirty-six and was now wearing a yellow long-sleeved top with gray belts crossing each other across his chest, a yellow gem in the center blending into the top, camo green leggings with a black belt, black boots and red fingerless leather gloves. Instead of using the Ghost Bow, he was now using a bow called, Dessert Eye, which had a bit more power to it and better accuracy. The limbs of the bow were a light sandy brown color with the ends curved a bit outwards, it's handle was a camo green with yellow gripping and the string was glowing a soft green. He still had the Ghost Daggers attached to his thighs but had them enhanced with low leveled Ecto Cores.

Danny was now around level forty and was wearing a white chest plate with black shoulder pads, indents, a black gem in the center shaped like the DP symbol, white armor leggings with black indents, the top part by the waist was black and was sticking out a bit, black combat boots and gloves that went up to about halfway up to his elbow. No one in the group could understand why the symbol would appear in the same spot in ether form or why when he changed, the coloring of the armor would become reversed. They all just guessed that it had something to do with being a Halfa and just hoped that no one would connect the two symbols appearing in each form together and found out what Danny was.

As for weapons, Danny still used the Ecto Shooter but had it upgraded, it now had a longer blade, its hilt was white with a black grip and it still had the green gem near the top center of the hilt. Just like when his armor would be reverse coloring when he transformed, the same thing would happen to this weapon as well. He also had a Ghost Dagger on each side of his waist and a Ghost Crossbow strapped to the right side of his leg just in case he lost his sword.

Right now the Trio was busy taking down the third-floor boss that looked like a giant peach red reptilian beast with spikes on its back going down to its tail, claws, underbelly and chin spike being a darker red and its eyes being a blood red. The boss zone was that of a lake with land surrounding it in the distance and the battle platform was that of a small brown fishing boat. This place looked very familiar to Danny, it reminded him of a place his father took him before on a fishing trip in the real world and in a dream. In the dream, he was sure he saw what looked like a mechanical ghost riding the creature before him and was trying to chase him down for one reason or another. What was the ghost name again? Skulker? Walker? Trapper? Or was it Chaser? Wait, wait, or was it the Ghost Zone Worst Hunter? Well whoever he was, the Halfa was sure he would remember it later.

Back to the battle, Sam and Tucker were standing on the boat doing their best to stay on their feet as they attacked and as the boat rocked around from the waves caused by the beast thrashing around. Both players were firing arrows as fast as they could at the boss before them, even though they may not be doing much damage because of the thick skin, but it mostly to distract it for their Halfa friend to get some hits in. Danny was up in the air in his ghost form going head to head with the beast with his trusty sword. To dodge the attacks sent his way, the Halfa would either fly out of the way or turn intangible, but that move would not work on his command most of the time. After what felt like a few hours of shooting arrows, slicing, shooting energy blasts and dodging fire blasts, tail swipes and slashes, the group finally managed to take down the boss, clearing the zone. Once Danny was sure that the fight was over, he landed on the boat by his friends panting a little bit with his hands on his knees and a looked a bit worn out as the rings of light appeared around him transforming back to human, "Remind me to never go finishing with my dad again at Lake Eerie."

"Why the sudden disinterest in that lake dude?" Tucker asked in confusion as the words, 'Congratulations!' appeared in the air above them.

"Let's just say, I don't want to run into that guy again," the Halfa states as the familiar blue-green screens appeared before them showing the drops and causing him to stand up straight as he started to look through the list, "So who got the last hit drop?"

"I think I did," Tucker answered and then snickered a bit when he saw what it was named. "And I think you should have it," he says after pressing a few things.

The Halfa raised an eyebrow wondering why his friend thought it was a good idea for him to have it, but once he saw the name of the item on the screen that appeared before him, he sent an unamused glare at his friend, then at the item icon. Sam, who noticed the glare being sent by Danny aimed at their friend and to the mystery item asked, "So, what is it?"

In reply, Danny pressed the icon causing the screen to close and caused blue-green particles to appear in the air forming the item that landed in the Halfa's outstretched hand. The item was a dark forest green fishing rod with a light green grip, silver real and a soft glowing whitish line, "The Eerie Rod," Danny answered in an unamused tone.

"What?" Tucker asked smirking not seeing what the problem was, "He said nothing about fishing."

"Yeah, but won't you want it for yourself to get more meat?" the Halfa asked wondering why his meat-loving friend would give away something that could give him more meat to eat.

The techno-geek just shrugged, "I just thought you may like it more."

Sam just rolled her eyes at the Techno-Geek as she asked, "So what does it do oh Fishing Master?"

Danny just shrugged, "Let's see," he then tossed the line out into the water.

After a bit of nothing happening, Sam states boredly, "Well that was fun."

"I guess it's just a regular fishing rod," Danny declared a bit surprise and unamused as he started to reel in the line, he was expecting something more since it was a boss drop. But when the end was quite close to the surface of the water, there was a tug on the line, then there was a pulse, then another tug happened that was much stronger almost pulling Danny off of the boat. From the sudden unexpected action, Danny lost his footing, but quickly regained it before he fell off the boat and held the rod tighter to not lose it. Grinding his teeth, he started to pull on the rod as he tried to reel in his catch calling upon some unknown strength he had. After a bit of the tug-o-war happening between the two, Danny managed to reel in what was on the end of the line and they were surprised at what came out of the water. Out of the water came the boss that they just took down, but there was a small difference this time, it's eye were now glowing a bright neon green. "Or not," Danny confirmed a bit worried as the three of them stepped back a bit in surprise and fear.

The group and the beast stood or floated there staring at each other, neither breaking eye contact, "Danny, do something," Sam hissed a bit scared of the situation they were now in.

"Why me?" the Halfa asked a bit panicked unsure what to do.

"Because you were the one that brought it back," the gothic player hissed back.

"Plus, you are the one with the ghost powers," Tucker pointed out scared for his life.

Danny stared at the beast before them as he noticed that it was just floating there in the water as if it was waiting for something, "Does anyone else think it is waiting for something?"

"Yeah, to eat us!" Tucker cried out not feeling pleased with being on the other side of the food chain right now.

"Just do something already!" Sam cried out as she pushed the Halfa forwards.

Danny stumbled forwards a bit before regaining his balance, "There's no need to push," the Halfa spurted as he turned to face the re-summoned boss. He looked the creature before him over and couldn't quite understand what he was feeling, before he felt waves of danger coming off of it, but now he felt nothing like that. Was this a good thing or a bad thing? And why were its eyes glowing green instead of red? "Um hi," Danny starts off unsure what to say or do, "Do-Do you think you could find us a way to the portal to take us to the next zone? A-And to take out any of the other ghosts that may still be in the area?"

"Dude, I don't think that it will hel-" Tucker started to say before he watch the creature dived beneath the water and soon flashes of lights could be seen beneath the waves, "Or it might."

After a few minutes, the once boss resurface and positioned himself by the boat to let the players on it's back. For some strange reason that Danny couldn't understand it himself, he found himself jumping onto the creatures back without even questioning the once boss motives. As for Sam and Tucker, they seemed hesitant to jump onto something that was trying to kill them not that long ago, "Danny are you sure we can trust it?" Sam asked as she looked the once boss over, sure it may have said that they had cleared the zone, but they couldn't be too careful.

"Yeah, what if it's just pretending to listen to you and when we are close to the portal it will try to finish us off!" Tucker added scared for his life at the moment.

"I'm sure we will be fine," the Halfa assured them, "Something tells me that he is not going to hurt us."

"What makes you say that?" Tucker asked as he kept an eye on the beast that his best friend was sitting on.

"Just a feeling," Danny answered with a small shrug.

"A feeling?" Sam asked with a raised eyebrow in disbelief, "You are trusting it based on a feeling?"

"Well yeah," the Halfa answered not seeing the problem with it, "Before I felt waves of danger coming off of it, but now there's nothing."

The gothic player trusted her friend's instincts, but she couldn't help but look around for another way across and only found three. One way was to use the boat they were standing on, but that may take a while with no paddles. The second was to swim over to the portal which may take longer, but it may also be dangerous after seeing all those flashes of lights underwater not that long ago. Then there was the final way, which was to ride on the once boss' back which looked to be the fastest. After a bit, she sighed in defeat and turned her attention back to Danny, "Fine, but if we die, I'm blaming you," she then jumped up and sat down behind Danny feeling a bit uneasy with having to trust the creature she was sitting on, but once she noticed where she was, she started to blush a little.

"What she said," Tucker states as he climbed up and sat behind Sam.

Once everyone was sitting comfortably, the Lake Monster took off towards the land in the distance at a comfortable pace. As they sailed across the water, Danny took a look at the landscape around him, "You know what. We should go back to the other boss' lairs sometime and take a look around, there may be hidden loot in them."

"What makes you think that?" Sam asked calming down a bit from nothing happening so far, but kept her guard up just in case something happens.

Danny just shrugged, "There's so much land here, there must be something hidden around here. Plus, when we were fighting the Box Ghost, I noticed that some of the boxes floating around remained closed throughout the fight which means they may be holding something."

"Since when did you become so smart?" Sam joked smiling.

"Hey, I resent that," Danny declared, "I can be smart...When I want to be that is."

"If you say so," Tucker states with a roll of his eyes, then changed the subject as he asked, "So what do you think the next zone is going to be like?"

"Maybe somewhere with less water," the goth grumbled.

"Maybe somewhere that looked a bit like space," Danny suggested.

"Do you really think that there will be a zone based on space?" Tucker asked his friend.

"Hey you never know, we haven't been to all the zones in the beta, so there is a chance," Danny pointed out.

"If there was a zone based on space, what do you think the boss will be like?" Sam asked him, curious herself on the matter.

"Maybe the Blackhole Ghost?" the Halfa suggested, "It would create blackholes that would suck things into itself and dropped them out high up in the air."

"That would be interesting to face," Sam stated as she thought about it.

Soon, before they even knew it, they were on the other side of the lake where the portal that would take them to the zone rested. Once they were off of the Lake Monster, the group stood there unsure what they should do, because it looked like the creature was waiting for something once again. "So...what now?" the techno-geek asked feeling a bit uneasy with the creature just floating there doing nothing but staring at them.

"Um, you can go now," Danny told the creature unsure if it would listen or not, but in response, the creature burst into blue-green particles disappearing.

The three stared in shock at what just happened, Sam was the first one to break out of her shock as she grabbed the rod that was still in Danny's hand, "Let me see that," once in hand, she started looking the object over along with its states. After a bit, she says, "Well that explains why it was listening to you."

"Wait, it was listening to me?' Danny comments in surprise. Sure it was doing what he asked, but he thought he was just being lucky.

"It was listening to him?" Tucker squeaked in surprise not expecting that answer.

"Yes, it was," Sam told them as she tossed the rod back to Danny who caught it clumsily, "It's actually a summoner item that would summon the Lake Monster to the summoner's side."

"I thought that it was just a regular rode," Tucker exclaimed in shock, then he turned to the Ghost Boy, "Can I have that back man?"

"Nope, mine now," the Halfa answered happily as he put the rod away.

"You already have ghost powers, why do you need a summoning item?" the Techno-geek asked trying to get the item back.

"Yeah, but I may need the extra firepower one day," Danny answered with a big smirk, he wasn't planning on letting the item escape him.

"Fine, but you owe me," Tucker declared as he crossed his arms knowing that he wasn't going to win this argument anytime soon.

"Whatever you say Tuck," Danny replies with a smirk and a roll of his eyes as he made his way over to the portal with his friends right behind him.

(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)(x)

The gang appeared in the new area in a flash of light and what they saw held different reactions for each of them. Tucker stared at the area as if he was in love or was in heaven. Sam held her nose up in disgust at what she saw and was not approving the area. As for Danny, just one look at the area caused a headache to start to form, knowing what was about to come in a few moments. "I think I changed my mind. I'd rather be in a zone of water then to be here right now," Sam stated in disapproval not even trying to hide the disgust in her voice.

"What do you mean? This is a meat lover's heaven," Tucker gasped in a dream-like voice.

"More like a nightmare," Sam retorted with disgust as she glared at the area.

"This is a meat lover's dream! How can you hate it!" Tucker exclaimed once again as he snapped out of his dream-like state and forgot about an important fact for the time being.

"Well for one, I don't eat meat," the ultra-recycle vegetarian retorted.

"What about technology coming to life?" Danny jumped in trying to change the topic around to stop the argument that was pretty much doomed to happen.

"That is a techno-geek's dream. This is a meat lover's dream," Tucker clarified not picking up what that question was meant to do.

"Well this is a nightmare for an ultra-recycle vegetarian," Sam stated with her arms crossed and a glare.

"And what would a dream come true be for a non-meat eater?" Tucker asked with his own arms crossed and glare.

"A place that is filled with vegetation and has animals that don't have to be worried about being eaten by us humans," Sam answers proudly.

"Well that sounds like a nightmare to me," Tucker told her, "What's the point of being somewhere where you can't eat meat?"

"What is the point of being somewhere where you can't eat veggies?" Sam countered.

"A dream come true."

"Well, it will also be a dream come true for being somewhere where you don't eat meat."

"A nightmare!"

"A dream come true!"

"A nightmare!"

"A dream come true!"

"A nightmare!"

"A dream come true!"

"Not again," Danny sighed as he listened to his two best friends fight over which was a nightmare or was a dream come true. Why would they fight about something that didn't really matter in the game was beyond him. With one last sigh, he looked around at what has caused this argument to happen, the whole zone around them looked to made out of meat, meat and more meat. The whole land, including the the stuff that looked like plants, were made completely out of meat but were colored differently for certain things, and the river he spotted not that far away seemed to be made out of gravy. Where all this meat came from, he didn't know, he just put it under game logic, but he started to wonder if there was a place like this in the actual Ghost Zone. One thing for sure, once they were out of this game, he was going to take a trip into the real Ghost Zone to see if it was anything like the game they were stuck in.

As the meat eater and the ultra-recycle vegetarian fought, the Halfa quietly accepted the teleport crystal for the new area called, 'Meat Vally,' and opened his inventory to see what kind of food items he had. As he looked through it, he saw that he had an almost even amount of meat-related and plant related items. Without really thinking, Danny selected most of his plant-based items and sent them over to Sam, "Sam, I'm giving you most of my plant-based food. Tucker, I think you should do the same thing. Knowing you, you are just going to let them rot in your inventory, so it would be better to give them to Sam."

Hearing what their friend said over their argument, the two turned to face him, "Fine by me. I don't want to have any of it tainting any of my sweet delicious meat," the meat lover answered as he sent all of his non-meat items to the veggie eater.

"You don't have to do that," Sam states as she brought her hands up and waved them in refusal.

"It's the least we could do," the Ghost Boy told her with a small smile, "You need it more then we do."

"Well thanks," Sam replied as she puts her hands down and blushed a bit from the Halfa's words.

"Lovebirds," Tucker states seeing the blush on Sam's face but tried to cover it up with a cough.

But in the end, both Sam and Danny heard him and both yelled out, "We're not Lovebirds!" but this just caused them to blush or in Sam case, deepened.

"Whatever," Tucker replied with a roll of his eyes smirking, "Let's just get going, I want to see what else this place has to offer and what kind of meat it has."

"I think I'm going to sit this zone out," the ultra-recycle vegetarian announced in disgust as she glared at her surroundings.

"And prove to Dash and the others that we are just going to sit back and relax as others do all the work? No way! I don't want them to think that they are right about us," Danny cried out with his eyes flashing green for a moment as he brought his hands up and acted as if he was pushing the idea away.

"I agree with Danny," Tucker quickly adds in a bit scared after seeing the flashing eyes.

"Huh, like they are doing anything," Sam huffed, "They most likely just sitting back letting others do all the work for them," then she sighed, "But I guess you're right. I can't let them think they know who we are," then she turned to Danny, "Do you mind if I borrow Fishy later?"

"Fishy?" the Halfa asked with a raised eyebrow wondering why she wanted to call the Lake Monster, Fishy, but decided not to question it for now, "Why do you want him?"

"So he can chase Paulina or should I say the Shallow Witch around later," the goth answers smirking.

"But isn't there a chance that it may kill her?" Tucker asked her a bit concern for the target of Sam's wrath.

"I'll make sure he just chases her around for a bit and not kill her," the goth answered with a roll of her eyes, she may be evil at times, but she wasn't that evil.

Danny thought about it for a moment then smirked, "Fine, but try and make sure that you get Dash in on it as well."

"Deal," Sam agrees with an evil smirk as they shake on it.

"Now that is settled, how about we get going before Tucker leaves without us and gets killed," Danny joked as he watched his friends closed the screens that were floating before them.

"There's no way I'm going to let a bunch of meat show me up," Tucker declared proudly as he pointed his thumb at himself.

"If that's true, then prove it," the Ghost Boy challenged as he points behind his meat-loving friend.

Tucker, confused on what his friend was talking about, turned around to see what was behind him and his eyes lit up with joy and delight. There walking around on legs made out of its bone, was a drumstick with red eyes, sharp teeth and small meaty arms. Without waiting another second, the meat lover went charging forwards with his arms outstretched as he cried out, "Come to Daddy!"

The Drumstick monster heard Tucker's cry and turned around to face him with a menacing glare that soon turned to that of confusion. It was expecting the player to be coming at it with their weapons ready and with a battle-ready look, not someone with their arms outstretched and with a hungry look. Before it could understand what was about to happen, Tucker jumped up into the air, landed on top of it and started munching down on the head of the creature. Now understanding what was happening to him, the Drumstick grained a look of horror and started to run around trying to get the player off before it was too late.

Off to the side, Sam and Danny were watching in amusement and laughing, "Is it bad that I feel a bit sad for the Drumstick?' Danny asked not even trying to hide his smirk and wipes away a fake tear.

"This is Tucker we are talking about, all meat should be scared," Sam answered, "Plus you were the one who pointed it out."

"Ture," Danny replied.

Just then Sam noticed something flying a bit above Tucker and blinked a few times to make sure she wasn't seeing things, "Isn't that your camera up there?"

"Yup," Danny answered not sounding a bit surprised about it.

"Didn't you retrieve it after we were done with the boss?" the goth asked curiously and a bit worried that Danny may have caught their little argument on film.

"Nope," the Halfa answered not very sure why his friend sounded a bit worried about it.

"Ok..." Sam says a bit upset that one of their arguments was caught on film. Maybe she could sneak it away and ease part of that recording without deleting the whole thing later.

After a bit of watching Tucker munch down on the Drumstick and the Drumstick trying to shake the player off, Danny spoke up, "Do you think I should end it's suffering?"

"I think you should," Sam agreed, even though they may be made out of meat, no creature should suffer like that.

Danny took out his Ecto Shooter, charged it to full power and shot an ectoblast at the Drumstick taking it out the rest of the way. From nothing to hold him up, Tucker floated in the air for a few seconds before falling down landing on the ground with a thunk and was looking a bit disappointed. He then looked towards his two friends and sent a small glare at them, "What was that for? I had him where I wanted!"

"Which would have taken you all night," Sam states dryly.

"No it wouldn't," Tucker tells her trying to defend himself as he crossed his arms, "I could have had him finished in a few minutes or seconds if I wanted."

Danny couldn't help but shake his head as he opened up his inventory, took out the drumstick he got from the monster and tossed it over to Tucker who happily caught it, "If you say so, Tuck. Anyways, here's the drumstick from the monster."

"Thanks!" Tucker cries out happily as he starts to munch down on it.

Sam just stares in disgust at her friend, "Come on let's get going. The faster we find the boss' lair, the faster we can get out of this nightmare."

"What's so bad about this place?" the techno-geek asked with a mouth full of meat.

"Besides being stuck in a death game with the only way out is beating it and being surrounded by a whole zone filled with disgusting meat? Nothing. Nothing at all," the goth replies sarcastically.

"Alright, I get your point," Tucker states as he holds his hands up in surrender, "We'll get going."

"And we should get going before any unwanted and annoying guest arrive and I don't mean the walking meat," Danny tells them not in the mood to deal with any of the players that didn't like him, but mostly the A-Listers.

"As much as I would love to sick our new friend on that Shallow Witch, I also don't feel like dealing with them right now," Sam agrees understanding what Danny was getting at.

Tucker was about to agree with them when he noticed a certain thing floating right above his head, "Really dude? Did you really have to record me chasing down that walking, yet tasty drumstick?"

"What? I thought it would be entertaining to watch later," the Ghost Boy confessed with a smirk as he called back the camera and strapped it to his waist so it would be easier to grab later on.

"You know, one of these days, I'm going to take that thing and use it against you," the techno-geek informs his friend with a small glare.

"Good luck getting it," Danny challenged as he races off into the distance.

"Hey, get back here!" Tucker cried out as he chased after the Halfa.

"Boys," Sam muttered shaking her head, then went chasing after her two friends.

Unknown to the trio, once they were far away, a new figure appeared in a flash of light from the area they just left. "It looks like someone bet me to the catch. I wonder if Daniel and his friends were the ones who did it. I guess there is only one way to find out," he then made his way further into the zone.

Here's the next chapter for Ghost Zone Online! Sorry that it took a while for me to update this along with my other stories, but I been a bit busy lately with college. Yes, I said college. I'm taking courses for 3D Animation, learning all the different things for it and it has been a lot of fun so far! So you may never know, I may be making models and such later and try to make my stories into 3D animation, well that is when I have enough experience that is. But here's a little heads up, I'm planning on making 2D animations for some of my stories, whether they are intros or little shorts from what happens in the stories. I think you can find something in this chapter that would be interesting to watch lol.

Anyways, that was the little update on why things are taking a while to be updated and what I have planned for later on. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and got some laughs out of it.

Danny: Did you really need to scare us back with the boss reappearing?

Me: What? I thought you would like having a strong creature on your side.

Danny: Yeah, but I thought we were going to die back there.

Me: Nah, I got so many things planned for you to die on us so soon.

Danny: Then what about the socking experance from not that long ago?

Me: Hey you lived right?

Danny: -glares unimpressed- Ok, can you at least tell me who that person was at the end?

Me: Nope, you will find out later on.

Danny: Come on, can't you at least give me a hint?

Me: Nope.

Danny: Fine, I guess I'll take a look through your rough drafts then.

Me: -glares- Don't you dare...

Danny: -already is gone

Me: Get back here! -turns to you guys- Oh, and until next time, Flare, over and out! -takes off after Danny-
