Secret Trio: A New Start (BEING REWRITTEN)

Chapter 8 - First Monster

Danny's POV

The night sky in Norrisville was rather different in Amity Park. For one, they had different stars. It isn't in the same placement I was used to seeing for my 14 years of life. Even now, after two years of living here, it all seems so odd.

There were villains here too, but the villains regularly occur during the day. Villains occurring during the night were rare and it left me sleeping in my night schedule, for the first time in two years. And even if I stay up all night fighting something or someone, the Ninja would be there and help me. It would make the fight quicker and afford both of us to sleep. This was a great change in my sleep schedule compared to my sleep schedule back in Amity Park. An odd but great change.

Norrisville also had less powerful villains. I'm not saying that this city is weak. I'm just saying that it feels strange to not struggle during a fight. In my time as Phantom in Amity, the only ghosts that I don't struggle with are Box Ghost, Poindexter, and a few others. But here, their villains are at the level of a weak ghost. I guess human villains are different from ghost villains, and maybe that's why the Ninja was so happy to see me helping him. I'm happy to help. It's just what I do.

I took a curve downtown, the place where petty criminals usually target. It's dark and the street lights that hang above the streets all flickered, hanging on their last shift as the light of the street before being replaced. I went down to the streets and flew around at the speed of a bicycle until I heard metal crashing against metal, loudly clicking down the floor.

I looked behind me and I saw trash flying out of an alleyway. I went to check the alleyway out and I saw a monster made of gunk and trash. It had long slimy tentacles dripping down with disgusting leftover food for arms. It had only one eye and no mouth nor nose but it chanted something along the lines of, "gem for the mistress," with a rough and shaky voice, as if it was almost in fear. And the stench was horrid! It was a literal trash monster and I flew back in disgust as it began to move away from the trash and exit the alley.

I made the mistake of bumping into a trash can and knocking it over. The monster turned to me and furrowed his non-extent eyebrow to glare at me. It growled before heading straight towards me, waving its gross tentacle arms. I moved away just in time for the monster to come splatting on the building behind me. It looked like an accident on the road before slowly forming back, moving its contents away from the building and forming back into this tall gucky monster. I gagged as I watch it move and began to move away but the monster began to take chase after me.

"NOPE!" I yelled and tried to fly away, but the monster grabbed ahold of my leg with its tentacle and crashed me down on the street.

"GROSS!" I yelled as I blasted the arm off.

However, it moved back to its original body and then roared, spitting the rotten things out of its mouth as if its saliva. "GEM!" it yelled.

Oh, hell nah. I ain't facing this thing alone. I got my phone and called Randy as I began flying away again. It took chase after me.

It rang for a few moments before Randy picked up. "'Sup, D?"

"I need you in downtown, now!" I yelled over the phone. I yelped as I dodged the tentacle monster's hand and then zigzagged down the street before making a U-Turn to keep the monster downtown.

"What's the situation?" I heard Jake's voice over the phone.

"Garbage tentacle monster. Really gross, by the way. It wants some sort of gem?"

"GEM FOR MISTRESS!" The monster yelled, throwing a trash bin toward me, and I blasted it back toward the monster. However, it was able to absorb it and become bigger. "Shi–" I began flying away from it and it took chase.
