**

The Baby Bolts reappear in front of the entrance to Magic Kingdom at Orlando's famous Walt Disney World theme park. Yanni spins around and gasps, while Brett looks at Jonne, who smirks at him.

"Sigh, just a bunch of Pidgeys and Rattatas once more..." Taylor complains, holding his phone in his hand once more.

"Hey, look Bretty, there's Princes and Princesses inside this place. You'll fit RIGHT in with all the pretty girls!" Jonne remarks before cracking up.

"Great, and with a nickname like "Tammy" you can come with me...also look at that luscious blond hair!" Brett retaliates with a smirk. "I'm starting to get the hang of this 'standing up for myself' role!"

"Cool, Bretty, you've moved from Aurora status to Rapunzel status. Good. for. you." Jonne remarks as he slaps his friend on the back.

Brett sighs and rolls his eyes. I tried... he thinks to himself.

"Come on, let's get inside and track down Anton Stralman!" Yanni states. "Remember we can't lose anymore Bolts!"

Jonne and Brett nod, along with Otto, Taylor, Libor and Ryan. They all enter the theme park and come to the end of a long street.

"Hey look, it's Brett Howden's home!!" Jonne exclaims, wrapping one arm around Brett's shoulders and pointing his other arm out toward a grand castle building. "Cinderella - I mean Bretterella's Castle!"

Brett grumbles to himself. "It's not gonna work, Tammy," he says through gritted teeth.

"Okay, where in this massive Pidgey-Rattata infested place is Gallagher and Shaw? Ooh, look, a Vulpix!" Taylor remarks, before launching off to find the Pokemon and wandering away from the group much to Yanni's dismay and dislike.

Yanni snatches the phone from Taylor, right as he swipes his hand to throw a Pokeball. "That's enough Pokemon! Wait to play until AFTER we save all the Bolts, please. We've lost three too many already, no more."

"Come on, Yans."

"No, now let's think about places - rides and attractions in this park where Gallagher and Shaw would stick poor Anton Stralman."

"How about there?" Otto questions, pointing toward a familiar building that looks creepy and haunted.

"The Haunted Mansion?! Yeah!" Brett exclaims. "I ain't afraid of no ghosts!"

Jonne leans over and whisper-yells, "BOO!"

Brett jumps in fright but calms himself down and blushes as he remarks, "Wasn't scared one bit."

"I made you jump out of your skin, Bretty, don't lie." Jonne brushes past him with a flick of his head and follows Yanni and Taylor, who set off toward the Haunted Mansion building. Brett, Otto and the others follow close behind, with Otto and Brett in the back.

Otto flashes Brett a kind smile and mutters, "You do good. I think Tammy start understand. You gain his respect."

"Thanks, Otto. But I do honestly get freaked out. I scare easily."

"Understand," Otto says as they walk through the gated entrance that says "Haunted Mansion" in curly bronze letters. He shivers and hugs Brett's arm like a little kid. "No do well in scary situation. No like scare."

Brett pats him on the head. "You'll be fine. The proud pretty boy Aries will protect you!"

"Oh, so not Brett Howden," Jonne's voice snickers.

Otto bites his lip.

"Why you--!" Brett begins before a loud shrieking noise cuts him off by a deep voice that says, "When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls; Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still - that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight!"

"Come on, let's go in!" Yanni says as Otto shakes his head, whimpering nervously.

Jonne raises his head up proudly and walks after Yanni. They all step into a circular room, before the doors slam shut, locking them in. Otto screams in terror, before the same voice, obviously recorded and obviously Brendan Gallagher trying to scare them with a deep ghostly hosting voice, rings out again with:

"Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion. I am your host, your... ghost host." He pauses to snicker evilly. "Our tour begins here in this gallery, where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their corruptible, mortal state. Kindly step all the way in please and make room for everyone. There's no turning back now."

Suddenly the portraits begin to rise up, as the walls stretch upward. Yanni, Ryan, Libor, Taylor, Brett, Otto and Jonne all grab hands and stand in a circle, gazing at the room as the voice of Gallagher the "ghost host" continues:

"Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis. Is this haunted room actually stretching? Or is it your imagination, hmm? And consider this dismaying observation: This chamber has no windows and no doors..." He pauses to snicker wickedly again, before continuing with, "which offers you this chilling challenge: to find a way out!"

Gallagher snickers super loudly in excitement, which frightens Otto more.

"Of course, there's always my way." There is crashing thunder and a scream, before the lights flicker off and Otto finds himself separated from the group. "Welcome Baby Bolts to your DOOM!" A hand seizes Otto's wrist, startling him and another instantly clamps over his mouth and he is pulled from the room.

The lights come back on and the group finds Otto missing, but the doors still shut.

"Oh, I didn't mean to frighten you prematurely," Gallagher's voice snickers. "The real chills come later..."

The lights flicker off again and this time Yanni finds a hand grabbing his wrist and then another clamping over his mouth, before he is pulled out of the room.

"Otto! Yanni!" Taylor calls out. "Where are you?"

"You were doing such a great job at sticking together..." Gallagher's voice sneers at them, before the lights shut back off and now both Jonne and Brett find themselves being dragged out leaving only Ryan, Libor and Taylor behind.

Once again the lights come back on.

"Alright, Gally, you're no ghost and you're doing an awful job at portraying the actually ghost host voice recording! Let Yanni, Otto, Jonne and Brett go!" Taylor shouts out, clenching a fist. "And tell us where Stralsy is!"

Gallagher just snickers and plunges the room into darkness. Taylor is swarmed by ghosts or people dressed as ghosts and he is dragged out of the room, screaming leaving only Libor and Ryan alone.

"Now, as they say, look alive and we'll continue our little tour. And let's all stay together, please," Gallagher's voice comes, as finally a pair of doors open up.

Ryan and Libor grab one another and begin to walk toward the doors, nervously.

"W-where Y-y-y-yan..." Libor manages to get out.

Ryan shakes his head as they walk toward where the ride is, slowly relaxing and letting go of one another. "I don't know, but they are probably along the ride or in the ride...somewhere... we'll just have to find them!"

"Correction, you'll have to find them, Ryan," Libor suddenly remarks, his tone drastically different. He gives a bone-chilling smirk and then morphs into Andrew Shaw, which causes Ryan to gasp and step back, tripping his way into one of the moving seats of the ride. "Ha-ha, Libor vanished long ago, you foolish mortal!" Andrew snarls.

Ryan scrambles into the seat and looks around him as he goes through the ghostly tour.

Gallagher's voice booms out with: "And heed this warning: the spirits will materialize only if you remain quietly seated at all times. Oh yes, and no flash pictures, please! We spirits are frightfully sensitive to bright lights."

Ryan gulps nervously. The bar doesn't lower to lock him in but he remains seated and looking around him as he enters into a library looking room.

"Our library is well-stocked with priceless first editions. Only ghost stories, of course. And marble busts of the greatest ghost writers the literary world has ever known. They have all retired here, to the Haunted Mansion."

Ryan continues on into a music room looking place.

"Actually, we have 999 happy haunts here, but there's room for 1000. Any volunteers, hmmm? If you should decide to join us, final arrangements may be made at the end of the tour..." the voice says as Ryan finds himself looking at a dozen stair cases twisting in every which way like Hogwarts in Harry Potter.

"We find it delightfully unlivable here in this ghostly retreat. Every room has wall-to-wall creeps, and hot and cold running chills. Shhh, listen!"

Ryan finds himself looking at a mirror and then turned backward, "All our ghosts have been dying to meet you! This one can hardly contain himself! Unfortunately, they all seem to have trouble getting through. Perhaps Madame Leota can establish contact. She has a remarkable head for materializing the disembodied."

He comes to a ticking clock and then sees a crystal ball glowing with a face. Where is Anton Stralman and the others though? "Where's Stralman, Gallagher!" he shouts out with an ounce of bravery.

"Keep your eyes peeled and see past the terrors...I think you'll soon be able to find him...and everyone else. But can you save him?" Gallagher's voice taunts with a wicked snicker once again.

"The happy haunts have received your sympathetic vibrations and are beginning to materialize. They're assembling for a swinging wake, and they'll be expecting me. I'll see you a little later..."

The ride halts at once and Ryan gets up, finding himself looking down at a dining room table with food and lots of ghosts dancing and floating around. Between two 'ghosts', Ryan spots a normal person...Anton Stralman!

He steps out of the car and looks over the railing, down at the table, wondering how to get down there. He doesn't see any of his friends though, thinking that maybe Gallagher and Shaw are testing him, like they had Otto with his memory. He isn't sure what his test is, but he knows that he must get to Stralman and save him.

He spots a pole and climbs the railing and then leaps out and grabs it, sliding down into the scene. He hits the ground and glances around to see the projections creating the ghosts as well as an emergency exit or worker entrance. He dashes over to the table and to where Stralman is.

"Ryan, thank goodness! Where are the others?" the Swedish defenseman blurts out.

"I don't know!" Ryan responds. "It's up to me to get you out of here and then worry about them!"

"Alright, I'm not sure how you can though..."

"What do you mean?" Ryan questions, stepping back.

"What I mean is those two Habs rigged the place...moving me will ignite...a trip wire that is linked to some arrow shooting weapon, which is specifically designed to shoot someone like me or you! You're going to need help or be super vigilant!"

"Stralsy, look, you're looking at one of the masters of multitasking and being vigilant. It's why I'm credited at having fantastic vision! You're in good hands and GALLAGHER PICKED THE WRONG KID TO MESS AROUND WITH!"

He snatches up a knife and slashes the ropes holding Stralman down to the chair. Then he quickly shoves Stalman back and steps before him, quickly picking up the arrow as it flies toward him. He does a Matrix style backbend, grabbing Stralman in the process and pulls him to the side as the arrow sticks into the wall behind them and they remain unscathed.

Stralman blinks in awe but they both race for the exit to get out of the place, slamming into the exit door and bursting outside, into the makeshift graveyard. Yanni, Otto, Taylor, Brett and Jonne are gathered around Libor, who is rubbing his head and groaning in pain. Ryan pulls the Swedish defenseman over to them.

"Hey, it's Ryan! And he found Stralsy!" Jonne exclaims, clapping his hands.

"Look out!" Yanni screams, pointing behind Ryan and Stralman, who spin around to see Gallagher and Shaw storming out of the Haunted Mansion.

"Stop them!" Gallagher growls in his normal voice once more.

"Run!" Stralman cries out and they all take off through the graveyard and hop over the fence and race back to the entrance, bursting from the ride and head back toward the Castle, where they bump into a brunette in a gold colored dress.

They all crash to the ground, but find out that Gallagher and Shaw haven't followed them and are in fact nowhere in sight. Stralman groans but gets to his feet and helps up the cast member that they'd bumped into.

"What is going on?" she demands in a girly voice, obviously disguised to be friendly and in character. "Careful where you are running, children!"

"We are not children!" Jonne snarls at her. "I am Jonne Tammela!"

She looks taken aback by his harshness.

"Tammy, shut up. There's no need to be hostile and we are sorry Miss, uh, Belle, we'd explain what is going on but it would take too long," Yanni remarks, dipping his head and bowing to her like a Prince might.

"Well, that's okay, accidents happen, I should know when I accidentally threw a snowball at the Beast and he got mad. But you all look terribly frightened. The Haunted Mansion is known to do that to tourists. Maybe take some advice from Belle and stay out of there next time." She giggles to herself and blushes.

"Again, we're terribly sorry, but our work here is done. And might I just add, you're incredibly pretty," Taylor remarks.

She blushes and turns to walk off, but whispers, "Thank you, my real name is Amber. Amber Rose. I hope to go, but you all have a magical rest of the day."

She then walks off and Yanni turns to Stralman and asks, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. And I saw something truly remarkable from that young man," Stralman replied, gesturing to Ryan. "He will be a sure threat on the ice as will I'm sure all of you. Thank you for saving me and, Otto, braving the haunting for a little bit like you did. I know how scared you were, but you were very brave. It took real guts not to chicken out. Remember that. Continue to grow strong Baby Bolts, I know you can finish this in success! Find my Swedish brother and return him to me!"

With that Anton Stralman vanishes with a smile and leaves the group alone.

Yanni lifts up the phone to show everyone the new message and says, "Gallagher is taunting us again and says that now he has Ryan Lohin's secret skill, supervision and striking agility. He's "sorry" that he frightened us off, planning to hurt Otto... and let's go back in time to save Victor Hedman! We got this boys! Six more Bolts to save!"

Everyone cheers, but Brett questions, "Wait...going back in time?" and then they teleport out of Disney.
