Chapter 3
Danny led Skulker away from the city towards the bay. There he stopped and turn to shoot back at Skulker whom dodged and returned more ectoblasts. They flew over the water and skimmed on top of it, creating large waves along the shore. They fought over the water for awhile; creating bright green sparks in the sky with each ectoblast. While the fight continued, none seemed to gain an advantage over the other until Skulker decided to use a new plan. He flew straight up towards the clouds, now with a frustrated Danny behind him. Looking down, Skulker grinned, the ghost boy is now flying directly behind him, an easy target he thought. While Danny was still busy with trying to get close up to Skulker enough to attack, Skulker stopped in midair and shot a green blob of ectoplasm from an ectogun hidden in his armor. Danny looked up at the green blob with wide eyes before dodging to the right and continued to fly up towards Skulker who now flew up higher to escape Danny and wait for his plan to work.
Completely oblivious to Danny, the green blob of ectoplasm did not fall down into the sea; instead, it stops in midair and shot back up at Danny, faster than last time. As it neared Danny, it stretched apart into a gooey green net which enveloped Danny and neutralized his powers. Danny struggled to get free as he and the net fell from the sky. Meanwhile, Skulker flew down to grab them both and headed towards the nearest ghost portal, the Fenton Works.
"Why are you so serious on capturing me so much this time Skulker? Working for someone again?" Danny asked.
"None of your business ghost boy."
"Is Plasmius using you to capture me for experiments again?"
"No."
Danny looked skeptically at Skulker and asked, "Who are you working for then?"
"I'm not working for anyone."
"Then why are you trying so hard to capture me this time?"
"Will you stop ASKING me questions? I've already told you that I'm going to have your pelt at the foot of my bed and I will have it today!"
"...why?" Danny asked cautiously.
"Arrgh! I need your pelt so that I could show Ember that I am the greatest hunter in the Ghost Zone! Since when have you become so talkative?"
"Since when you didn't pay attention Skulker." Danny said grinning just as a green ectoray flew from behind Skulker and sliced through the net, freeing Danny.
"Thanks guys. I knew the Fenton Phones were going to be useful today. Now let's end this quick. This battle has gone way too long."
"Maddie, can I have more cookies?" Jack asked.
"Shh, Jack. I'm watching the news. Here you go." Maddie whispered and absently handed a cookie to Jack while paying attention to the TV. Tiffany Snow was shown on the screen, reporting news of a ghost attack near the city's bay. Danny Phantom was shown in the background fighting with a robotic ghost and was hit by a green missile net and was carried away from the camera. The camera man tried to zoom in and showed a blurry image of the robotic ghost and Danny Phantom heading in the direction of a house with a large sign saying 'Fenton Works'...
"Jack! There's the ghost boy and a robotic ghost heading our way!"
"Oh boy! I get to try out my new invention! –Uh, I mean, to destroy the ghosts!" Jack shouted enthusiastically and grabbed the Fenton Bug from the table along with the Fenton Ghost Detector and ran out of the house along with Maddie trailing right behind him with a charged ectogun.
"Next time, I gotta pay more attention to these battles. They take way too much time. Not that I have any time left to do anything anyway." Danny said as he pulled out a thermos from his backpack. Skulker's cries could be heard as Danny pressed the button on the thermos and sucked him in. Then Danny looked around him.
"Oh no. I'm too close to the Fenton Works! Mom and Dad could be here at any moment now. I gotta change back!" Danny said as he flew away and turned invisible to find a place to change back to Danny Fenton. Sam and Tucker had already snuck away from the scene to avoid attention.
Right on cue, Jack and Maddie arrived at the scene. "What did the ghost boy mean by change back?" Maddie thought out loud as she looked around where the battle took place, looking for clues or ecto samples. Finding nothing, she turned back to see her husband grinning, looking down at the Fenton Ghost Detector.
"Hey Maddie, come take a look at this..."
Sorry for the slow update. I'm not a fast writer nor do I have a lot of free time anymore. But I'll still be updating the story at least once every two weeks. And also please vote whether you want Jack and Maddie to be able to capture Danny Phantom in my profile page. Review please! I do appreciate all types of reviews!
