The fire blasts missed the target, as the ghost, Zachary, and Deimos moved forward. Suddenly the entire stairwell was filled with light. Stripetail had found the Secret opening and was making his way up the stairs with bUlk, , Skull and Shaggy reluctantly in tow..

"Well, Stripetail. So glad to see you!" Deimos said, taking another swipe at the Ghost.

Nick22 · **Reply #382 on:** February 23, 2009, 10:36:04 PM

Deimos, leave this spirit to me.." stripetail said firmly. "Ghosts cannot be harmed by weapons, even thier own. once you die, you cannot die again.."

Spyro and Cynder leapt back as Stripetail appeared, they stood and watched to see what the squirrel would do. B.G. had also followed back up the steps and was peering curiously over the last few steps at what was happening.

Deimos and Zachary fell back and watched Stripetail. Zachary still had his ax with him.

Ripetail ris rere. Re ran ro row!" Scooby said, relief spreadiing over his features, alrthough his helmet hid his relief.."No, cousin, We still have to explore where this staircase leads' dixie said firmly..

Velma looked over in the direction of where the noise was going on. "I wonder what is going on, some sorta wild party maybe." She said.

- - - -

The Tourist and his friends looked in the direction of the sound.

"With this sort of noise I'd rather sleep in the tardis." Sam said.

"You're not the only one." Sara said.

Terry reached the door and opened it, walking inside. He took the hat off of Hawkmon who refrained from speaking and acted like some sort of regular pet bird.

"Finally somewhere dry, though a trifle dark." Terry said, putting his hat on though his head was wet, except for his eyes covered by his goggles, but he was glad at least Hawkmon was dry.

The group looked at the door as Terry walked in, The Tourist waving, "Hello, just arriving?" He asked.

"Yes," Terry said, "A trifle dark though." He said, wondering to himself what century he was in. The last forays out from the digital world had had him in the late 90's and visiting the Extreme Dinosaurs, except for that one time he encountered that evil annoying girl and he digimon, but he hand Hawkmon had dealt with the both of them together, then destroyed her digivice, he hoped ending her villainous career. He didn't know when that was since after destroying the digivice he left and returned to the digital world, recording the setting so he'd never go back there and deal with her minions she doubtlessly had.

"We should still explore this staircase." Zachary said.

"Why not?" Deimos said. "We don't live forever."

In the kitchen the sous chef, Haresh ducked into a closet and radioed one of his contacts. "Dr. Yuri Kerzach is here. And that means, Zanasiu, Deimos, Strut, Rime and Zachary are here too."

"Roger that. We're en route." the voice said.

So, you now challenge me mortal' The ghost Said to Stripetail. 'Spirit I have seen a thousand thousand springs, summers, autumns and winters. Your life and afterlife pale into insignificance in comparison. " stripetail replied, coming face to face with the spirit. "And I know how to subject you."
_
"Prove it" The Sprit said, raising his hands in front of him in a pushing fashion. Stripetail was thrown back breifly but was able to recollect himself and returned to face the spirit again. "You do not frighten me' Stripetail said.

The door opened again and Genki Tiger and Tigress walked through the door. They were all soaked, and surprised to find the hotel was dark.
_ Welcome, sorry but we;ve lost most of the power due to the storm.. all we have for light are candles" Briggins said. "Now if you willl please sign your names in this book, we can get your rooms ready.."

"If you know who to get rid of him, then do it already!" B.G. hollared at the squirrel.

----------------------------

Mikoto glanced over at the door and sighed as yet another boring, normal human entered the hotel. A few more seconds pass and the door opened yet again. Mikoto glanced over and eyed the two wolf-like creatures, particularly the one who looked to be male.

Silence!" Stripetail turned and gestured at B.G, muting him. "I know how to subdue this spirit, but these things take time.. I was trained in the art as a youth, and it is not easy. To your knees" he gestured, and after some struggle the ghost was brought to his knees.

"Lets go up to our rooms and look around." The Tourist said then nodded to Terry, "Pleased to have met you." He said and he and his companions moved up towards the stairs towards their room.

Terry waved back, "Thanks." He said then went to the front desk, "That is ok, I can see pretty well with these." He said meaning his goggles, glad they were multi-function.

Nick22 · **Reply #393 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:15:11 PM

20 Dollars a night, please sign your name in an open soace.. So I see you have a pet owl? Haven't seen many of those in my years here..." Brigginssaid looking at Hawkmon.
_
I'm Genki' Genki said. this is Tiger and Tigeress" He motioned to the two wolves.

Kor · **Reply #394 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:21:24 PM

Terry nodded, "Yes and he's very nice too." He said. He took out various types of money he had and paid the bill and then signed in.

He looked at Genki and waved smiling, "Hello, I'm Terry and this is Hawky my pet." He said indicating Hawkmon, who had gotten use to the sometime used nickname. "I'm glad to meet all of you." He said.

Nick22 · **Reply #395 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:25:13 PM

Nice to meet you" Genki said, as Briggins gave Terry room number 350.
_
Genki put forth a sodden twenty.. "Room number 408 for you" Briggins said.."4th floor, Heres a candle so you can see where you are going..' Briggins said handing him a candle in a holder..

B.G. gasped silently as he found himself mute. He attempted to shout out in protest, but of course failed.

"Well, that's what you get," Cynder said to B.G.

Nick22 · **Reply #397 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:35:24 PM

Hey, can you keep him like that for awhile?' Skull said with a grin. Bulk laughed too.. B.g gave them each looks that would have killed if that were possible..
-
NOw.. tell me why you are here' Stripetail said imperiously.
_ The sghost moaned and gnasjhed its teeth "I.. can't.. I.... won't" He groanede.. Stripetail persisted, grabbing him by the scruff of his ghostly collar. "TEll Me' the wizard commanded him. "WE.. ARE.. CURSEd..' The ghost said clearly in agony.. The ground here is cursed. All who diie here, whether staff or guests, they are doomed to wander the grounds! those young lads.. I've seen them from time to time.. they stil don't know why or how they died.. and I cannot tell them..'

Drake · **Reply #398 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:39:22 PM

"Can you tell us?" Cynder asked, losing her fear of the ghosts as Stripetail had it subdued.

B.G. glared at both of them. He spat out a cloud of virus breath, not hitting them, but close enough to scare them.

Nick22 · **Reply #399 on:** February 23, 2009, 11:42:40 PM

No, the ghost said sadly. "you must find that out for yourself. only the living can help them and put us to rest as well.. my Name is Merculus" 100 years ago I owned this hotel and gave it its name..Inglorious' was supposed to be inside joke, for the inside was truly glorious.."
