"Hey guys I know it's been awhile since I've created a crossover and this was originally supposed to be a Halloween special." I say as Daxter climbs onto my shoulder.
"But we were so excited we couldn't wait." Daxter says.
"This story is also a tribute to the Green Thunder himself and Grojband. Enjoy the show folks." I say but then the lights go off.
"Oh boy."
"Dax, get the flashlight."

Theme of Story: Best of Video Game - Luigi's Mansion Theme Remix
The sky was dark, lightning lit the clouds, and the full moon casts it's eerie glow. Crows cawed as Corey Riffin made his way down the path surrounded by dead trees. A map in his right hand and a flashlight in his left. Corey wasn't scared easily but this was beyond scary for him, he kept looking back as if someone was watching him. A few days he got a letter in the mail saying he'd won a mansion. However the only thing odd about it was that he had never entered the contest. But hey who would pass up on a free mansion?
Corey looked down at the map and back up ahead, he cocked his head to the side in confusion but according to the map this was the place. He had already told his band mates to meet him there, the Newmans also wanted to see since they thought this was a huge lie so he expected to see them to. Trina oddly had wanted to get there early, she seemed excited. Lastly the groupies Kate and Allie, Mina, and Nick Mallory were supposed to be there as well, to congratulate him. Corey made his way up the walkway to his new mansion, upon reaching the door he tucked the map into his pocket and with a shaky hand turned the doorknob and opened the door.
"Hello... guys you in here?" Corey asked as he stepped into the mansion. Flashing his flashlight around he finally entered the Foyer. As he reached the center, under the chandelier, the door behind him slammed shut causing him to jump and turn around quickly.
"Not funny guys... guys?" Corey was already worried something was wrong here, but he decided to explore. So taking the stairs to his left he made his way up where he had a good look at the chandelier. To his left was one door and right in front of him was another set of double doors. Naturally he turned the doorknob only to discovered it was locked.
"Hehe."
"Lanes... you in there? Come on let me in?" Corey asked thinking the odd laugh was from his bass player Laney. Corey attempted to open the door again only for something to crash into him knocking him to the ground. Corey looked up to see a orange figure floating around and laughing as it dove back into the door, that's when he realized there was a key in front of him. Corey felt his fear escalate to new heights since his worse fear was ghosts... he prayed what had tackled him wasn't a ghost.
"Was that a... no way..." Corey muttered as he grabbed the key and curiously tried it on the double doors. Turning the key Corey unlocked the door and pocketed the key. With a shaky, cold sweat covered hand, he turned the doorknob and entered the Parlor. The hairs on the back of his neck standing up straight as if giving off a warning.
Corey turned left only to see a orange ghost laugh loudly making him scream and fall on his rear. This couldn't be happening, not to him, he scooted back frantically as the ghosts approached him with evil intentions. Without warning an old man with a vacuum type machine began sucking up the ghost, Corey watched as the ghosts dragged the man around before turning around and punching him, the ghosts laughed before vanishing. Corey slowly approached the man unsure of what to do, his heart was going wild from the fright.
"Ouch..." The man muttered before looking up to see Corey. "Ooof, I sure take a lot of knocks in this line of work."
"Are you okay?" Corey asked as he helped the old man up.
"I'm fine. I'm getting to old for this ghost catching tomfoolery. Anyway, nice to meet you, I am Professor E. Gadd." E. Gadd said introducing himself to Corey. Corey just decided to do the same.
"My names Corey."
"Well, Corey, I swear this house seems to have more ghosts every day. What's a young feller like you doing around here, anyhoo?" E. Gadd asks. However just as Corey was going to answer three more of those orange ghosts appeared causing Corey's legs and teeth to shake with fear.
"Uh oh! This looks ugly. Alright, youngster, look lively! Follow me, posthaste!" E. Gadd said before turning and running out the double doors, Corey didn't argue he just turned and ran for his life. But one thought was bothering him, had the ghosts gotten everyone who was supposed to meet him here?
*Creepy Mansion Transition*
E. Gadd's Theme: E. Gadd's Theme How it Should've Sounded
"Where are we?" Corey asked as he entered E. Gadd's bunker, he was still a little jumpy after their ghostly encounter earlier.
"Hmm? Where's this, you ask? Why, these cozy quarters are where I do my ghosts studying. Professor E. Gadd's Ghost Research Laboratory! The Lab, if you're of a shortening mind. So what brings you here?" E. Gadd asked after explaining their current location.
"Well, I won this mansion in a contest. But I don't remember entering." Corey explained honestly confused himself, the mansion looked nothing like it said on the brochure.
"Sounds pretty fishy to me... So, you believe the mansion actually exists, then... strange." E. Gadd answered in deep thought.
"Strange...?"
"I've been living here since I was a lad of twenty or so and I'll tell you that mansion appeared just a few days ago!"
"How is that even possible!?" Corey asked in complete shock. How could that mansion possibly been built in only a few days?
"The spirits have fooled you! I don't know if it's a dream, an illusion, or what-all, but I surely wouldn't be happy winning a haunted house." E. Gadd paused suddenly as if he had remembered something.
"Now that I think of it, a few young fellers were here earlier asking about you. They went into the mansion and never came back out." E. Gad says finally remembering that crucial detail.
"Those must have been my friends, Laney, Kin, and Kon." Corey says now worried about their well being.
"What!? Oh no that's horrible! They wouldn't stand a chance against those ghosts without my help!" E. Gadd says understanding how dire the situation had become.
"I have to go after them!" Corey says even though the thought of seeing more ghosts made his legs shake.
"Okay feller here's the plan. I'll teach you to deal with ghosts so you can rescue your friends. Follow me to the training room."
*Ghost Buster Transition*
"Well done feller, I'd say your ready to find your friends now." E. Gadd says as they walk out of the gallery, Corey had first noticed that there were no painting inside however. He was still getting used to the weight of the Poltergust 3000 on his back, a ghost slaying vacuum cleaner.
"Where are the paintings?" He asked.
"I used to have twenty one painting in my Famous Ghost Collection, but now there are only frames. What a cryin' shame." E. Gadd points out hanging his head low in disappointment.
"I'll get them back." Corey offers.
"You will, I'd be mighty grateful sonny. Here take this with you so we can keep in touch." E. Gadd says as he hands the Gameboy Horror to Corey, the blue haired rocker just tucks the Gameboy Horror in his pocket and thanks the professor.
"Well you'd best be headin' to that mansion now, there's no time to lose!"
*GB Horror Transition*
Corey slowly made his way up the path toward the mansion as E. Gadd waved from the entrance of his lab. Corey looked back at E. Gadd and then up at the mansion as he reached the doors. The only way to save his friends was to overcome his greatest fear and rescue them... he just hoped he could do it. A flash of lightning lit the sky as Corey turned the doorknob and turned on his flashlight. This was the start of an adventure... he would never forget.

"Well that's the first chapter, tell me what you thought in your reviews and give requests for customized Portrait Ghosts for Corey to catch." I say as Daxter climbs up onto my shoulder.
"I'm happy to point out that the Newmans, Laney, Kin, Kon, Mina, Nick Mallory and the groupies will be making an appearance at some point in this story." Daxter points out.
"Another problem we need a good cover and since we're such terrible artists."
"We need one of you to make the perfect cover for this story." Daxter says cutting me off.
"Yeah, so if your interested tell us in your review."
"Thanks for reading and stay awesome!"
