Phantom trio
Today was a good summer day, where Danny Fenton had left his house to join his friends for some sort of teenage activity, leaving his parents alone in the house with his big sister Jazz.
Maddie Fenton went to the lab where her husband was finishing one of his inventions with his …. 'Secret touch'. In other terms, you can't see anything of what Jack is doing because of his huge, clad in orange and black hazmat suit and bear-like stature, 'but he's such a sweet teddy bear' Maddie thought. And the fact that he's throwing absolutely everything in his back with what his hand grabs when he works.
The woman scientist skillfully dodge all objects, all weirdly shaped tools Jack throw carelessly. Thank to her clear blue and black flexible hazmat suit, Maddie avoid the ecto-chewing-balls, the Fenton peeler, Jack stinking sockets, the booooooomerang, the Fenton baseball bat, Maddie even manage to squeeze herself between Jack orange suit and boxers….. 'What the…'
Realization just hit her: "JACK! You're undressing yourself again!"
A naked Jack Fenton turn his head to Maddie and then lock at his self to see that he only got his black gloves, boots and head-hood who was supposed to be fused with the orange suit he just throw away.
He quickly hides his manhood with his two hands, blushing like a tomato in summer. "I…. will explain you my last invention after I dress myself!"
The clumsy man ran out of the lab through the stairs that lead then to the kitchen and main room before the bedrooms at the second's floors. Maddie heard her sixteen years old girl scream, probably at Jack appearances. The scientist women sight at Jack goofiness in the underground lab.
Maddie then went to look at this new invention she might have to fix it after an explosive demonstration by her husband. The new invention was some sort of bazooka but since the Fenton bazooka was already made, this one must be for a different purpose. There was notes spread nearby, and Maddie pick one to look at the result.
When Jack came back, dressed with a new orange suit: "ha, I see that you now know already what the Fenton-boundaries-sealer do, right?"
The blue suited scientist answer without stopping reading the notes: "Yes! Indeed it's sound great but you're calculations based on the effects that the Fenton ghost portal had on his surrounding, and the way you had exploit this fact to built a weapon that negate absolutely all ghostly thing by sealing their powers like sealing a portal is…. Messy." She then look at her husband to say to him: "I want to test it on one of our Fenton crash puppets!"
Thinking of the puppet all shaped to look like Jack (easy target), the man then remembered what happened to them…
(flashback) the Wisconsin Ghost had trapped Jack assault R.V. to simulate an accident, it ended up that Vlad Master thought (too happily) that Jack Fenton was dead while it was just one of those balloon puppet that the Fenton used in auto-piloted (end of flashback)
The large man rub the back of his tick neck: "Sorry Mad's, I think they're all out of service after the R.V. accident last day."
Maddie coldly add: "How could I forget Vlad shocked face when he thought you were dead, and especially the priceless face he had when you pop out of the kitchen, perfectly fine."
Jack obliviously continues to congratulate his best silver haired zillionaire friend, for his eyes at least: "I know now that I can die in peace with such a great friend as V-man as support!"
His wife went grim, not liking where this leads: "ahem…. so honey, what will be tested?"
The orange suited man thought a long moment, scratching his large chin: "how about this ghost of box that we had dragged here with our boxes?"
Box ghost, a small round cargo man, all shade of blue from dress to skin, was stuck the whole time in the lab and had been reveal in his translucide ghost-proof cage, screaming: "I'm the Box ghost! Fear the wrath of cubic card-boards!"
Maddie happily agreed: "perfect, it might at least cut of his big mouth!"
Jack aimed the strange bazooka to the box ghost; the ghost was lock up in a glassy cage that block out all ghost powers. In other words, the ghost was stuck since he pathetically throws card boards boxes at it, in the stupid hope of breaking the glass wall. Jack shoot, with weird humming noises, the laser shoot was icy blue and explode in a flash when it hit the ghost box.
After blinking a few times, the Fenton scientists stare at an unscratched box ghost that had simply shut hard his eyes waiting for the blow, he open one to peek around if he was over dead or not, when he notice it was a not, he went back to his pitiful scary lines: "Haahhaaa! I'm invincible, and now bow to the master of all cubes!"
The woman angrily scream: "Shut up or at least tell us what you're feeling!"
Maddie was somewhat angry at the fact the box ghost was still flowing meaning that Jack invention isn't going to do at all his main goal!
Box Ghost blinked in surprise an then: "What I feel now? Hum…. It's somewhat like the ghost world here, now that you ask. Yeah it's like the nice mysterious hollow feeling you only found in ghostly universes! And I know what I'm talking; it's just like your portal over here!"
Jack cried: "just like the portal? Haaaw… Guess it's not working at all! The theory is just another fluke."
His wife pats his back in comfort, reassuring him: "Maybe not dear… maybe not…"
Maddie had noticed that the ghost container was now glowing like a ghostly object meaning it was imprinted of ghost energy, maybe Jack invention had point out a fact that she could use to build the proper weapon.
Later that day, Danny and his friends came home and Maddie and Jack where working in the living room while listening to the TV news about any ghostly apparition today, that was none. Danny, their raven haired and big baby blue eyes son, had clean the town today in a record time for all ghost tried to attack him together and they just end themselves attacking each other, leaving easy captured spirits for the infamous town hero. He hides his hero business from his parents because all media and adults accuse him of all ghosts' damages, and by fear to suffer a heartless vivisection and other absurdly barbaric experiments.
Now he did his hero duty for the day, he can now focus on his parents new invention meant to kill his ghost half he didn't reveal them to be him. He recon the new invention as a deviation of the Fenton bazooka, the main model shoot big bullet and generate a short timed portals to the ghost world, where ghosts should stay. Quite efficient, but the main default of the weapons is his man size, too big to be hidden in teenagers bags.
Danny then asks his mother, Maddie, about their work: "Mom? What are you working on? Isn't the bazooka working well?"
Maddie turn her head to see her son and his two best friends, and happily greet them: "Danny! Sam! Tucker! How nice to see you three!" she turn back on the bazooka and explain: "Jack and I are working in an invention meant to seal ghost powers, so that the ghost are no more treat for good, sadly your father managed to built the opposite!"
Sam raises an eye brow at this information and shot: "The opposite? You mean it give ghost powers instead of blocking them?"
Maddie look back at Sam with a surprised smile: "While yes! Although, now that you mention, we might experiment more to see if we could fight ghosts back with equivalent weapons! But it might be dangerous; there are chances that those ghost powers are the source of their evilness."
"Like been able to be invisible so you could rob anything you want without being caught?" Tucker asks. He was a black skinned boy with green cargo pant, yellow shirt, red beret on his head and square glasses; at last he's a literal techno geek and PDA wizard. Then Sam, a black haired Goth with combat boots and green peace ideal, continue: "Or having a gun power in your very own hands? So you could boss people around as you please?". Maddie look shocked by those possibilities they both express yet it was her own son who shock her the most: "Or even be a worldwide monster trashing innocents and armies in their cities!"
Maddie was speechless, and so was Jack who didn't place one word yet for five whole minutes, a record for the records book, considering the man mouth. But still once Maddie out pass her shock and grab a hold on her limp lips: "…. Ga..da..ga Well, it's kind of fitting the spooks we saw every day, in an odd way…"
"How you three had thought of that so quickly?!" Jack shocked tones betray a hint of hope, a hope of his son fallowing his foot of ghost hunter, of course.
Tucker was the one answer first, with a giggle for the overacted surprise: "Well if you read good comics books, you kind of understood that powers mean responsibilities and the ghost do have something close to super powers."
Sam chain down with: "and Jazz psycho babble did make its way to us! And it fit perfectly people! Give them the power of invisibility or ecto-blasts and you'll see that there will be some of them who will use them selfishly or dangerously! Just like ghosts in the end!"
And to add the cherry on the cake, Danny extrapolate more: "But if so, there are also people who would be responsible enough to try to do good and help instead of fooling others, just a question a choice to be."
The Fentons adults where speechless, but soon, they began to process what the trio told them and Maddie then ask: "Isn't it another try from you three to convince us that Phantom is a good ghost?"
The kids look at each other and then answer together: "Well…. Kind of!"
And so the parents went back to a subject they know: "Phantom is evil!"
"NO HE'S NOT!" Danny angrily replied. "Although they are things he did that are bad, a close attention would reveal some things are not right!"
Jack continues as if he didn't hear his son "Non sense! What about the robberies and attacking the policeman?!"
Danny argues back: "Didn't you notice the red eyes?! He never had those!"
"True, you got a point!" said Maddie annoyed that her son had outsmart her on this particular subject, but then shoot back: "and what about Christmas?! He destroys our toys and trashes all the city trees!"
"I hope you notice that the toys where animated by unknown force and attract to him while he try the get them off him, or the trees where freaking monster at the moment. Or do I need you to remind you that at the end of the night, he and all ghosts had fixed everything in a record time, almost like a Christmas movie?!" Danny was already pissed off by the Christmas affair that was the work of another ghost who wanted revenge on Danny, not caring if he ruins others Christmas night in the process, the halfa wonder if he ever goanna get rid of that reputation.
Both parents look at each other, not knowing what to say, but then Jack simply hold on old habits: "he make it look like he was in the end a nice guy, but Maddie and I know it's just a smoke for the show! He'll probably throw his hero mask away when his time comes! But we'll be ready for him! I swear as a Fenton!" Maddie hug him lovingly: "that's my honey!" then look back at her son and say: "So mister: Phantom is evil, he fools others around to be a hero and that's all! Understood sweetie?"
"Arrg! Whatever! I can't argue that." Danny grumpily cross his arms annoyed that his father goofiness let no argument possible.
"That's my boy! Now come with us and see what this baby does on our test subject." Jack boomed, grabbing Danny and his friends in his bear hug and then drag them in the lab.
Danny in his white jumpsuit was with Sam in purple jumpsuit and with Tucker in yellow jumpsuit. The trio where behind a shield with a small window to see the experiment in all security. Jack and Maddy where in another one designed to shoot with the experimental bazooka safely. In the center of the test room, designed with a big yellow X on the floor, laid a small pot plant as the test subject.
"Why do you test on a plant?" Sam asks, a little bit angry to see a pore innocent little green twig being experimented with a bazooka.
Maddie sweetly explain "Well, the Fenton-boundaries-sealer had turn inert matter into ghostly ones for a short time, but soon the ectoplasm had mysteriously dispel without any trace, leaving the matter the same as before. We wanted to see if it's the same with living beings, and the plants are an excellent beginning!"
Before anyone delay the experiment more, Jack shoot with a cheesy battle cry "whoozaa!". The blue ray engulf the plant and it's pot, and once it dispel, the plant was fuming blue, and the green twig turn into a sky blue twig with a white glow. The plant pot turned purple and floats an inch away from the grounds. And that's all it does.
The teenagers where disbelief and worried that this weapon actually turn the plant into a full ghost or worse, a halfa. Jack throw away the bazooka and went tickling the plant to get a reaction from it, yet it just float there, just like a creepy decoration plant. "It looks like a normal plant, minus the floating and the colors!"
"It doesn't do anything? Like biting or screaming or anything aggressive?!" Maddie ask, ready to strike at the plant for any suspicious action. Jack look back at her shrugging "Guess our theory that ghost powers corrupt people mind wasn't right!"
But while Jack go back to Maddie, blocking her view of the plant the kids saw the pot float to the stairs, Sam couldn't resists and say: "it float to the stair!"
The two ghost hunters turn around to see just on time the pot flying lazily flying upstairs to the kitchen, everyone rush up and look for the ghost plant, they found it in the leaving room under the window day light. Maddie then said: "fascinating! It fallow it's natural process but use her ghost powers for this purpose instead of growing to the light!" but then to everyone shock, a luminous green ring appear around the plant and spread vertically in two rings changing the ghost plant back to its normally colored plant before the beginning of the experiment.
Tucker was the one shuddering everyone shock: "it…it…it… change…. Back… to … normal?!..."
Danny immediately thought 'This new version of the Fenton bazooka must disappear before someone gets shot by accident by it! I already got more than enough of Vlad as a bad halfa!'. And so the raven haired boy discreetly runs back in the lab basement to hide the weapon in safe place.
His parents were talking about their theories being jeopardized by this plant and Sam and Tucker where with them not knowing what to do to stop this growing mess.
Before Danny pass the kitchen, his ghost sense manifest in a cold wisp from his mouth. 'After I hide the weapon! Nothing is more important right now!' Plan the ghost hero in his head, he then silently prays: 'please make it's the box ghost, or Klemper, or even Ember!... please make it not be Technus or…' Once done stair he was shoot by a green blast against the lab wall, then was knock out. Skulker, in his robotic hunter body with a flaming green Mohawk, had made his grand entrance. His luminous green eyes matching his Mohawk, notices the new bazooka and was hoping that it would injure the boy. He aimed and…
"Danny! What's going on down stairs!" Sam had run down in the lab after hearing Danny crashing on the wall, she was followed by Tucker. Once they were down they saw Skulker aiming them with the Fenton-boundaries-sealer he shoots right at them with the blue laser of the bazooka.
And he shoot.
Jack and Maddie didn't hear the noise down stair, their babbling too loud about: "How can it go back from ghost to…. Before?!" or "Jack! What had you done again!" or "We built a resurrection tool! Let's call it Fenton Resurrector!" or "All we had elaborated is fooled by this impossibility!"
Needless to say they didn't heard Skulker gloating openly in the basemen: "At last I will have your rare and unique pelt of half ghost! But first he has to change into his ghost form so I could have his astounding white hair…." The hunter stare at limp hero in human form: "But he's knock out cold!" The mechanic ghost grumbles "ho I'll drag and trap him in my island to hunt him! That should force him to change!"
But he heard the teenage girl shout "stop right here you heartless animals' killers!"
Sam stand out of the smoke and point Skulker in accusing tone, when the smoke clear, the ghostly hunter stare at the girl transformation.
While still wearing the jumpsuit for the experiment, Sam purple suit was deep frozen blue instead of purple, with a white collar, belt, boots and gloves. Her hair was a deep angry red and she had luminous matching angry red eyes. Add the white ghostly glow of her floating body.
But Skulker didn't stop of being surprised when he saw the other friend, Tucker, rising out of the smoke. The boy suit was gold instead of yellow with a still black gloves, boots, collar and belt. That wasn't the worse, his dark skin had turned deep emerald green, his eyes electric yellow and he got a even more vivid red beret than before!
The hunter was pointing them, his jaw totally limp. Sam could see the foot of his little ghostly blob self inside of his mouth. But when she heard Tucker gaps behind her she turn to see what's was going when she scream at her friend hideous green skin, her hair and eyes turning blue of terror.
How both of the adults upstairs consider the screams and loud gaps was just bird noise outside is above anything in the two worlds. Still under the shock, Sam simply says: "First Skulker! Then that mess" she had pointed Tucker, thus lifting to her sight her white gloved hand and deep frozen blue suit. When she looks at her two glowing hands in mute horror, she fainted. In her fall, two blazing purple white rings surround her and spread up and down her body, turning her back to human in her street cloth.
Tucker was frozen in his horror, mouth limp, he then worriedly turn his head back to Skulker. His look was begging him to tell him he was in a nightmare and that he'll woke up. He too then turn back human, the same way as Sam or Danny usually did, but his rings were bright hot yellow.
Once in his Human form, he look at his hands and at his normally street dressed self, still holding his blank frightened look in his face. Skulker instead smile widely for he got two new pets to hunt, he was aiming the trio and shoot a net capturing all three of them easily, he drag the his catch when he heard a deep menacing mother voice: "STAY AWAY FROM OUR KIDS YOU ECTO SCUM!"
Skulker swears by his hunter honor that it was a blue mother Jaguar that had trash him into pieces…
Maddie went down the lab to grab some tools to analyze the plant pot, only to found a stunned Tucker, a fainted Sam and an out cold Danny trap in a net at the foot of a mechanical ghost with flaming green Mohawk. She simply lunches her protective mother instinct in her head, screaming: "STAY AWAY FROM OUR KIDS YOU ECTO SCUM!"and annihilated the ghost in five seconds and twenty deadly black belt moves.
She then suck the pile of steel that was Skulker remains into a thermos. After she put it in one of her inexistent pocket of her blue suit, she ran to the trio teenager.
"Tucker! Are you O.K.?" Maddie ask immediately after she reaches them, Tucker was still stunned but he quickly spurt one of his best friend lines: "I'm fine! But I think Sam and Danny had being knocked out by this ghost's laser…. Hope so…"
Maddie had exanimate the two unconscious couple, Tucker guess was right; they'll just have a bruised bump in their head tomorrow. With a relief sight, she grabs Tucker hand and motherly said: "It's all right, sweetie! They'll be only unconscious for a while!" She rub the boy shoulder to help him out of his stunned state, and quite efficiently, Tucker was getting back in thinking process and had already found what to say to cover Danny… and now his and Sam secrets ….from the ghost hunters.
"Let's drag them up…" Maddie stated, she then gently ask: "Could you carry Danny please while I carry Sam". Tucker breathes a few times to gain back his composure and smiled: "Of course Ms.F!" The black nerd then lifts up his best friend with efforts over his shoulder and Fallow Maddie who held Sam in bridal position in the living room upstairs. Greeting by a surprised Jack, and calmed by some explanation from Tucker.
Danny stir up in his bed, greeted by Tucker and Sam with a pouch filled with icy water on her head. Raising an eyebrow in question about Sam, Danny soon realize he too had one on his head, with a matching head hack.
"Ouch! What happen?!" Tucker smiled and answer his friends "As I told you folks, you been knock out by a surprise attack from Skulker in the lab, Sam was next I we've been all capture by the creepy hunter. Lucky for us, your mom had arrived and trash down the ghost in a more frightening way than his hideous pun about skinning you."
"Huh?... Ho I get it now…" Danny said after a few moment of slowly awakening mind process. But then he quickly asks: "What about the weapon! And he shoot at Sam too?!"
"No Danny, I fainted….and hit myself bad….. As for the new bazooka, Jack had stored in the vault with all security on, persuaded that the ghost had come here for it" Sam quickly answer, yet hesitating on the fainting part.
"You faint?... Why? How?" Ask Danny, not believing Sam could faint for Skulker appearances, she was way too used to panic that much over ghosts. And she's a Goth who gives morbid jocks while watching a horror movie!
"Actually…. I don't know how to explain it easily on you, but Skulker…" This time it was Tucker hesitating, still, after one breath in and out, he continues "Skulker had used the new bazooka and shoot both Sam and me with it..." Tucker look at Danny's wide eyes, disbelief and stun was all that could be read in those big sky blue eyes.
And while Tucker was about to add more he felt the floor disappear under his foot and fall Through the roof of the living room, he didn't scream so unexpected it was for him. He falls in the kitchen, and yelp in pain when he hit the floor, thus dragging Maddie and Jack.
Tucker stare at the Fenton adults, and simply lied: "My shoes must be untied! That's why I trip and fell on the floor!"
"Ho! Ok… Is Danny awake now?" Ask the huge orange clad father, Tucker try to not freak out he fell one store down through the floor and that he give to Danny the worst proof he's now an half ghost too… again.
With a nervous smile he answers "Ye…yeah he's awake! A..and fine too! I… i… I came here to snatch a snack for him!"
"Ho that's nice of you! Here some fudge from yesterday night, serve yourself and Sam too while you are here." Maddie totally fall for the bait and sincerely offer him the fudge, she then turn to Jack "Honey! Why don't you help me cook some cookies for the kids later?"
"Turn the blaze on, Baby!" Said a goofy Jack with a white apron and a cook hat he get out of those insane hidden pockets of his suit.
Upstairs, both Sam and Danny stare in horror at the empty spot where was standing Tucker a second ago. Sam was in anguish of Danny reaction to this, and the fear had made her invisible, when Danny saw Sam flicker from visible to invisible, he soon understood that they both are now new half-ghosts.
Pondering all the consequences, the very first that came in his mind was when Tucker had been granted ghost powers by Desiree long ago. Sure, he was evolving way too fast had an oddly too easy control over his power that had been the evil genie magic doing, but it was the way he had abuse his powers in school that one moment that had make him fear of the consequences and irresponsibility that had almost turn him into an envious ghost full of absurd hatred.
And now…. maybe Tuck will not risk abusing his powers this time, for he doesn't control them at all. Danny was ready to bet that if he didn't had so many close calls when in his first weeks of half-ghost he would have turn spoiled and into a pitiful bully, maybe worse than Dash….
Danny then thought of Sam, she never had ghost powers before like Tucker, and to be honest, it would be terrible if she would use them for the causes she defends, causes such as full veggies menu at school or freeing animals from the zoo, or ruining some societies that scars forest and natural environments. Let's be honest, Danny would go for a pitiful and arrogant jerk rather a determined believer in the virtue of its actions. He was really worried how his two friends will assume their powers…
But… he believes that maybe if he keeps a watch on them, thing will not go wrong…. So...
Danny gives to Sam a small smile, trying to sound confident "Well… I guess now I really could consider you as my side kicks…"
Sam fear and so invisibility display disappear, and she just stare at her secret crush in surprise, she then smiles and gives a small punch on his shoulder: "Not happening Danny! I'd love to assist you but if there's going to be any side kicks in our team; it'll be you and Tucker!"
"No way! I'll rather play solo if you don't want to be my side kicks!" Tucker had beamed when he enter the room with three plate of fudge for him and the two other halfa.
After a short humoring silence, Danny spoke again: "Joke apart, I guess we'll sacrify the rest of the weekend to help you control your powers….. And talk about the responsibilities they will imply…"
"WHAAAT! You think we're not good enough to have ghost powers?! You're not a perfect model example too; Point Dexter accident is a clear proof of it! Or maybe I must remind you of when all the clumsy mess up you did with the ghost hunters!" Sam was totally pissed off and hurt by Danny implying she would use her powers selfishly! She then turns to Tucker but instead of seeing a hurt or angry boy, she found him remembering a bad memory in his distant looks.
Danny tries again the talk, gently explaining: "Sam…. Because I did my share of faults I've got a pretty good idea of how far things could go over you with such powers! They're amazing! You could feel almost unstoppable! But what I'm implying is that we could clash badly with peoples and maybe even between us! Tucker had his wish granted by Desiree to have my powers, remember? I am and looks like Tucker do too. You may not be selfish Sam, but you got extreme ideology that could cause a great mess! Such as freeing animals from the zoo, it's dangerous for both beasts and peoples! What would you do if either of them are harmed or killed by your rash action?"
The example was enough for the goth girl to realize that he was right, with those ghost powers, she could do anything she wants, that also includes stupid acts and rash moves.
"Sooo….. What we do? When? Where? Not to sound eager, but phasing through floors at random times is really terrific, especially when I almost fell under your parents' nose!" Danny and Sam went livid at the mention of the two ghost hunter parents, Danny do have a chance do get away because he's their son. But Both Sam and Tucker weren't ready at all for evading huge hulky Jack and wonder Maddie.
"I…I..Guess the best it's to hide you from the reporters and the ghosts hunters the time you get a control over your powers in human forms, and try to keep it as long as we could afterward." Danny plans out loud his though "Life was easier for me when there weren't all those hunters after me, but since Vlad had post a price on my head…. Ho god Vlad!" the boy had grabs his head in anguish, the other halfa, older and more experimented than Danny, was a serious treat for them. Vlad Master was older and more powerful halfa, true, but due to his powers he had seclude himself from peoples and use his powers to turn rich and powerful from others demises. Now the forty years old Man was what Danny calls a Fruitloop: a tactless man obsessed with marrying Maddie, adopting Danny so he could turns him into an apprentice in all the wrong way the boy could summon and ruins his dad life. All that because Danny was the only other half ghost on the planet and son of the wife he didn't marry, but if now his two best friends are halfa, then they might suffer the same trouble, or being a primary target for they are beginners.
Tucker had check his PDA and with a little display of his hacking talent, found Vlad dairy as Mayor, with a relief sight, he said "Vlad is in Washington! Asking the government to… fire the Guys in White men for blatant incompetence and irresponsible damages properties to his city…. It's true they had trashed his office for no apparent reason last week…"
Sam was relieved that she won't have a rich man eyeing for her, if her parents knew about this…. Not that they'll marry her to him, quite the contrary, they would send endless lawyers accusing him 'pedophilia' or something along the side, it could only end bad. "Thank Tuck, at least it would give us some time to be prepared for the when he'll notice us!"
"Soo….. What do we do tomorrow? Where do we go?" Tucker implies of the problem of the newfound ghost powers, Danny was thoughtful and enumerate his trail aloud: "Well, my house is a bad idea to begin with since my parents will stay here for at least a week studying that plant pot…. Sam's house isn't meant to suffer accident and so his Tucker place….."
Sam thinks in silence listening to Danny and then snaps her fingers once she gets an idea: "Let's seek an abandon house or building and train over there!"
Both boys look at her, and once they had processed the idea they smiled fondly about it. Danny joyfully beams: "It would be perfect! With luck we might found anything we need for the basics ghost powers!" Tucker add suit "And old abandon buildings are avoided by most people, and random kids group only go for those in town or nearby the park, so we could definitely found a good place out of towns!"
"Then it settles! I know just the place we need! Come to my place tomorrow morning, like maybe 8 o'clock round so we get the whole day!" Sam proposes. But knowing the boys won't say no, especially if she didn't let them time to argue, run to her house. While saying good bye in her hast to the Fentons she went invisible again, thanks goodness they didn't lift their head and had simply say aloud their farewell to the girl.
When a bystander saw the Fenton Works door open by invisible force, He raised an eyebrow. Sam had notice the man questioning stare, and still oblivious she was invisible she angrily told him: "What are looking at! Is that because of what I express through my trends?!"
The man answer her in an "AN INVISIBLE GHOST! RUUUN!" While he run, his scream had attract the two ghost hunters of Fenton Works out side, gun ablaze, and Sam soon understood when they didn't saw her that she was the 'invisible ghost'. Praying they'll go before she loses her invisibility, she's been granted when Maddie orders "FALLOW THE SCREAMS! THEY'RE BOUND TO A GHOST!".
Once far away from her spot, Sam turns back visible in the empty street, Tucker and Danny stare at her from the window. True to himself, Tucker big mouth had play: "Well it was at least funny!"
"Tucker…. Maybe we'll laugh of that later, far far later…" replied an annoyed Danny.
Danny was the last arrived, even if he wasn't late. He guess his friends where both really eager to start controlling their powers. Especially Tucker who had fallen multiple times 'through' his bed this last night, Danny could tell at the sight of his black bags under his glasses.
"Hi Sam! Hi Tuck! Have a nice night?"He asks casually, Tucker glare told him it was a stupid question.
Sam seems to have good night but the look of nervousness on her expression was undeniable, she wants to ask him something. "Sam? Is there something?" Danny asks to her.
And she responds by shaking her head: "Hu? Nothing… I was just wondering if we could fly to the place I mention before… but I guess that would attract hunters or ghost on us more than anything! Not to add that it might be dangerous for us right now…"
"I'll hold both of you so you won't fall or reach space! And if where high enough people will think where birds!" Danny cut her, he believe that at least this power should be easy to learn for them.
Danny grabs his friends' hands and drags them in the shadows of an alley, there he looks at them: "so to be able to use flying, you most turn into your ghost selves. Try it!"
To be honest, the famous ghost boy was deadly curious about the forms of his two friends as ghosts. Tucker had tried to turn ghost but failed, as for Sam she did summon her purple-light ring but it had dispelled just as fast.
"I guess we better try once we found our base then!" Said a little disappointed Danny, he totally forgot that the transformation part didn't really appear before a month after his accident, he guess there's a 'get use to' or 'some stabilization' before they both could transform.
Danny grab his two friends hand and transform in to his ghost self, turn the three of them invisible and flow them high in the sky, earning a few yelp of surprise from his companion. "You could have warned us! It's so high!" whimper Tucker. Sam just chuckle at him: "Come on Tuck! Soon you'll be flying on your own even higher!" "Yeah! Maybe later, when I know how to do this!" reply the geek.
"Sam! Could you guide me to your hideout?" ask Danny, yet very amused by his friend reaction. "Ho yeah! Iiit's…. that way!" Sam had looking down and had point the direction with her finger, Danny immediately flow them in the direction while Sam add: "Go until you reach the city limits then look for couple of abandoned grey buildings!"
Meanwhile, Valerie had one of her rare free moment dedicated to ghost hunting. Or rather investigate on the Wisconsin Ghost aka Vlad Plasmius aka VLAD MASTER. Since Valerie met Danielle, a nice little ghost girl who happen to be Danny Phantom cousin, Valerie had realize that ghosts could have emotions and be kind. She realizes when Danny had knelt in distress in front of the melted puddle of Danielle, which reminds her that Vlad had a quite bipolar reaction toward her.
He first ask her to catch the weak and melting ghost because she was a serious threat, then fake weakness and beg her to stop his Plasmius clone from melting the poor girl. Thanks goodness, the cure Danny Phantom had found in the Fentons labs was miraculous since it totally reforms her and even cures her from her body structure problems for good. Valerie will keep in mind that the Fentons are first genius in ectology, science on ghost, then in ghost hunting.
But back to the evil ghost that could turn back human, Valerie is almost sure that the transformation is not mere shape shifting. Noo! This must be an ability that might help the ghost to resurrect as a human, or a human given ghost powers. She honestly doesn't know what was the most plausible theory was, but it's clearly something in the line. Vlad Master is definitely human, his medical paper attest it clearly, well at least since he leave the hospital he's been lock in for years after his university accident.
It was easy to investigate it; she just had to look into the web site of the University who gloats of forming important figures such as Vlad Master. She also discovers that the Fentons where in the same class than him and even close friends then. She might try to ask Danny about Vlad latter on in school.
She resume herself everything she learn while flying above the city searching for ghosts: "let's see: I discover Vlad had an accident with Fentons back in college. Knowing them, it must have been related to ghosts. A few times after this there's been rumors about a spirit hunting the Wisconsin hospital, but soon stop once Vlad leave it perfectly healthy." She frowns: "I guess that his accident did give him ghost powers, at least. So then, in my search I discover he had an amazing lucks and hunch in business! Maybe he use his powers to gain illegal info with invisibility, he could know it in instant with his clones… but these only feed what I saw, even if they're no proof!" The huntress sight: "If only I could have taped the scene of Vlad transforming and duplicating…"
But soon her frustration had been cut short; her detector had spotted a ghost flying to her direction, or more precisely, above her. Valerie lifts her and spot Phantom flying with Sam and Tucker in his hands. 'Of course! He knows something about the freaky mayor!' She then thought a short second before planning out loud: "I'll catch him for kidnapping Sam and Tucker and make him talk and release him in exchange of everything he knows on Vlad! Or maybe I should use a more civic way?" She prepares to chase when she decides: "I'll fallow him to see what he's doing with them, if worst then I come in!"
Tucker was staring at his PDA black screen to ease his fear of high, but he soon notice something worst in the screen reflections: Valerie, in her red huntress super-cool combat suit, was fallowing them. But he notice she didn't fire or even seems to lunch any menacing comment. Tucker soon understood that she was tailing them! The techno nerd whisper: "Guys! Don't look back but Valerie is fallowing us"
Danny almost did what he was told to not do, but Sam soon orders him: "Danny, dive down to the sewers under the road tracks!" The ghost boy execute himself and dive down at full speed, making Tucker scream, he turn his friend and himself intangible and phase through the road. They end up in stinky sewers that Tucker soon complains about it: "Yuck! What is that!" he uses his beret to cover his nose. "Fly us out invisible, we are just a few houses away now!" the Goth girl commands.
Doing so, Danny phase them out but keep them invisible, discovering a puzzled Valerie who doesn't know how to go underground in pursuit of the ghost boy.
Sam then whisper: "Danny, see the abandoned factory? It's there! With underground storage where we could hide from Valerie." And the albino boy fallows her guidance. Once inside he put his two friends on the ground and revert back human. Making sure Valerie would never found him with trackers.
"Huh… Sam? What is in the boxes?" Tucker asks. The factory main room was filled with green metal boxes, with a G.I.W. label. The girl was just as puzzled has her friend: "I don't know! It wasn't here last week!"
"Sam… If I believe the label here, that means that the guys in white will come here eventually! We better scram now!" Danny frantically screeches. But almost yield at Tucker: "Tuck! What are you doing?! Don't open it! Who knows what there is inside those containers."
Tucker had ignored him and open one of the G.I.W. storage box. To everyone surprise no alarm went off or an explosion or even the box ghost getting out screaming as always. The techno geek stares intensely at the inside of the box, raising an eye brow: "…. That's weird…. This box is filled with…"
But he was cut short because the building main entrance had open up. Then a white truck enters, one of the G.I.W. ones. Danny grab his friend and duck behind one of the containers, the hero was shaking in terror, with his two friends not in control ghost powers, there was nine chance on ten that they reveal themselves to those government ghost hunter detectors.
The white suited agent where discharging their truck of containers similar to those in the factory. When one of them was listing his companion work: "…container 85…86… and 87! That's all. We have 'recycled' our broken weaponry and lab tools!". One of the agents asks back the leader: "Are you sure this is a good place to hide ecto-contamined material? What if there's a breach and it stain the environment?" the leader laugh aloud and said: "As if the city didn't already have permanent mark of ghosts on it! No worries, people will put this on another ghost attacks and someone else will clean up! That is, when the nonexistent neighborhood reports it!" the second ponder and then agreed: "true, no one's here anyway… So no harm done! The plan is perfect! Now I really understood why your agent in chief here!"
The white agents leaves, their loud chief gloating how right his lackey was. Once they were gone, Sam was fuming; the boys could see angry red eyes: "NO NEIGHTBORE HERE?! WHAT ABOUT THE ANIMALS?! THE BIRDS?! OR THE ENVIRONMENT?! THAT'S SOMETHING TO GET US A SECOND UNDERGROTH!"
Danny try to calm her gently: "Easy Sam! We are here now, we will fix this somehow… right Tuck?"
The geek was thinking intently: "Maybe we could actually recycle their junk… At least I know I could do something about the electronic stuff… Danny how does your parents recycle their ectoplasm?"
The hero thought a moment: "Well… I think they had found a way to convert it into electricity and power batteries for their weapons and gadgets. I could ask, they do have found a way to not pay electric bills and almost build all their stuff from junks left in the house when they buy it."
Tucker smiled broadly: "Really?! That would be awesome! I might be able to give us a secret lab and build us additional weapons or armors based on your parents work. I might even find a way to build our personal battle ship or ecto-skeleton suit!"
Danny went grim at the mention of the suit: "Maybe when we could secure it well, Tuck. But I would love have something to create portals to escape the ghost zone on occasions."
Sam then stares at the two boys, but eagerly /adds: "We save the environment and might even have a perfect hideout for power practice! Since those morons of G.I.W. would put the energy signature on the garbage they put out here. They actually might serve us forever if we get rid of a few empty containers!"
Danny laugh: "hahahaha! I like building our secret base…. But that make me even more like my parents…."
The trio went deaf at the remark. After five awkward minutes they role on the floor laughing hysteric.
Author notes
Hello and Merry Christmas. With a day late.
So this time it's a totally new season I'm making, by excluding Phantom Planet because I really love the need of a secret identity for heroes. That apart, I might retake some element of PP in my next stories, such as the 'Master Blasters' or the ectoranium, maybe the asteroid manace or Vlad secret satellite. Who knows? Only me that is.
Also note that this series won't have a regular update, I'm now certain I can't do that, so instead I write whole chapter that match an entire episode and then post it!
Feel free to critic or ask questions, I'll answer as best as I can without spoiling you of course.
Thanks for reading and have a nice fan fiction and a happy new year!
