Chapter 3: Big No
Later in the Far Frozen, the inhabitants were now repairing Specter Speeder and the damaged hut that the Specter Speeder caused. Apparently, SpongeBob's apology for the damage was all that was needed and the four Nicktoons began explaining Danny's predicament to Frostbite as they entered his cave.
"So," Frostbite said after hearing everything. "You say the Great One has been experiencing strange symptoms from his cryokenetic powers."
"Of course." Timmy replied. "He's shivering, freezing everything, and can barely stand up."
"And no matter what we do, he won't warm up." SpongeBob added.
Frostbite pondered this and turned to his computer. "I was afraid of this." He said as the kids looked at him in bewilderment. "If what you described to me is true, then I'm afraid that the Great One has come down with…'The Frozen Flu'."
"NOOOOOOOOO!" SpongeBob cried toward the sky as he fell to his knees and held his fists in the air.
Timmy, Tak, and Sam just stare at him in annoyance as the Goth asked, "Original name, but can you explain a bit more?"
"The Frozen Flu." Frostbite began. "It is a rare disease that originated here in the Far Frozen. Centuries ago, many of my people came down with this Frozen Flu and developed many symptoms that plagued us; Uncontrollable shivering, weakness, a small case of the sniffles, loss of power control, delirium, and finally the worst part."
"Which is…?" Tak asked anxiously as he and the others lean forward.
"He will freeze." Frostbite answered darkly with a pause. "…for good."
"NOOOOOOOOO!" SpongeBob cried out toward the sky on his knees like last time, much to the others' annoyance.
"But this will clear up, right?" Timmy hopefully asked. "A little rest and relaxation will get Danny better, right?"
"I'm afraid not." Frostbite responded as he pushed a button on the computer, showing a holographic image of a flower. "The only known cure for the Frozen Flu is the consumption of the Sol Blossom. Its petals have the power to bring warmth and once consumed, will bring the body to its normal temperature."
"NOOOOOO-" SpongeBob cried out until he stopped and smiled once realizing, "Oh, wait, that's good!"
"Well, just give us a nice bouquet of those Sol Blossoms and we'll be on our way." Tak said as he held out his hand.
"I'm afraid that's not possible." Frostbite mentioned. "The Sol Blossom does not grow in this part of the realm."
"NO-" SpongeBob was about to scream until Timmy stuffed the sponge's hat into his mouth to silence him.
"Then how are we supposed to cure Danny?" Sam asked desperately. "We can't let him literally freeze to death."
"The only location where the Sol Blossom grows is the outer regions of the Far Frozen." Frostbite said as he signaled to the window where the outer plains can be seen disappearing into the distance. "There you will find a cave that will lead you to the spot where they nourish and grow."
"Sounds simple enough." Timmy remarked with a smile. "We go there, grab the blossoms, Danny eats them, he's cured, problem solved."
"But I must warn you," Frostbite said cautiously. "The path to the Sol Blossom is a dangerous task. Some of my people have not made it back when trying to retrieve the blossom."
"Thanks for the warning." Sam responded. "But we still have to go. My boyfriend is in trouble and we have to do whatever it takes to help him."
Frostbite smiled and nodded, "Then I wish you safe travels on your mission."
A few minutes later, Timmy used his Recaller to call Jimmy and let him know what was going on. "So anyway," Timmy continued on his Recaller, "It may take us longer than we thought, once we get that blossom, Danny will be fine."
Back in the real world, Jimmy had a concerned look on his face. "Okay. Should I send Dani to come aid you guys? If what Frostbite says is true, you might need all the help you can get."
"No, it's fine." Timmy responded as he gained a confident look. "You all need to make sure Danny stays healthy until we get back. Besides, getting a flower from an ice cave can't be that hard."
"But Turner, you said that-"
"Sorry, gotta go!" Timmy quickly interrupted. "Got no time to waste if we're gonna make it in time to help Danny." He shut off his Recaller and rushed over to the others who were waiting for him.
Sam turned to him and asked, "Did you let Jimmy know what was going on?"
"Yup," Timmy said with a smile and nod. "And he wishes us all good luck."
"Good." Tak said with a determined grin. "Let's get going while we still got time."
When the four were about to leave the village, Frostbite called out to them, "Wait!" he rushed over to them and said, "Before you depart, I must give you this."
He hands them an object that looks like a metal helmet with ice imbedded on the sides. Timmy takes the helmet and stares at it, puzzled. "Thanks…I guess."
"It is an artifact that'll protect you on your journey." Frostbite explained. "For what you are about to face in that land you are going to, I feel you will need this item if you are going to be successful on your mission."
SpongeBob took the helmet from Timmy with excitement. "Thanks! It looks perfect!" he takes off his snow hat and places the helmet on his head, but nothing happens. "How does it work?" then he holds his arms and shivers, "Brrr…It's cold." And places his hat over it.
"Well, Nicktoons, let's unite and go get the blossom to help cure Danny of his illness!" Timmy shouted out before walking away.
As the others follow him, Tak comments, "That's nothing like the way Jimmy says it."
Frostbite waves goodbye to them as they leave his village and begin to go deeper in the realm to find the Sol Blossom.
Meanwhile, in Danny's bedroom, Jimmy put away his Recaller and Dani approached them. "So did they find anything?" she asked.
"Yes," Jimmy answered with a frown. "But they're gonna be while."
"But what about Danny?" Jazz asked as she sat at Danny's bedside. "He's getting colder and colder by the second." She proved this by holding an electronic thermometer.
Danny opened his eyes and sat up while shivering. "G-G-Guys? I…I ap-p-p-preciate…all the…help. But…you d-d-don't…n-n-need…to do all this for m–m-me."
"Come on, man." Tucker insisted. "You can't even talk without shivering.
Dani gave an exasperated sigh. "But we've tried everything in here to warm him up."
"Maybe we should find more blankets." Jazz suggested.
While the group were discussing of how to help Danny hold out until the other group returned, blue mist flew from Danny's mouth which he noticed, yet still shivered uncontrollably. "H-H-Hey guys...I t-t-think…"
But then, an invisible coil phased through the wall and secretly wrapped around Danny's wrist. By the time, the shivering ghost boy noticed, he himself turned intangible and was suddenly pulled through the wall as he screamed. The others noticed this and cried out, "DANNY!"
Outside in the backyard, Danny was flung to the ground and he slowly pushed himself up to see who his captor was. Above him was Skulker, who had a gun on his wrist that was connected to the coil. Danny sat up while shivering, "S-S-S-Skulker!"
"Surprised, whelp?" Skulker asked with a smirk. "It's a nice day out for hunting, isn't it?"
Danny shut his eyes and changed into ghost form. But afterwards, sneezed and the coil around his wrist froze in ice that traveled all the way up toward Skulker. The hunter gasped and quickly severed the coil with a knife.
Danny sniffled and hovered in the air as he spoke in a congested tone, "Too bad it's about to rain on your parade." He was about to fire an ecto-beam, but suddenly stopped when he shivered uncontrollably again and held his arms.
"Under the weather, are you?" Skulker asked before smirking again. "Why don't I just put you out of your misery?"
While Danny was distracted by his shivering, Skulker aimed his wrist gun at him. But before he could fire, Dani flew right at him and gave a massive kick to the ghost hunter's face, knocking him away. As Danny fell to the ground on his knees, still shivering, Jimmy quickly ran over to Danny and held onto him.
"Danny!" Jimmy asked in worry. "Are you alright?"
"I'm…f-f-fine." Danny spoke as he shivered, but then sneezed which made ice travel up Jimmy's arms, freezing both his arms together in a block of ice.
"Pukin' Pluto." Jimmy groaned at his predicament.
Danny opened one eyes as he still shivered and said, "I'm…s-s-s-sorry."
Tucker and Jazz quickly rushed to the scene and grab a hold of Danny. Jimmy quickly ordered the two, "You guys take Danny and hide somewhere safe. I'll stay here and help Danielle."
The two nodded and picked up Danny, holding him over their shoulders as they rushed off into the house. Jimmy quickly ran over to a large rock in the yard and smashed the ice block on his hands against the stone, breaking it into pieces. He shook out his arms until he could feel them returning to normal temperature. Jimmy then took off his backpack and pulled out his flare gun, and afterwards ran forward to assist Dani with defeating Skulker.
Skulker drew his claws from his mechanical knuckles and attempted to slash Dani with it. The ghost girl dodged his attacks in the air, with his claws only slashing off a few strands of hair from her ponytail.
With Dani momentarily distracted by this, Skulker attempted to strike again, a flare flew right in front of his face, blinding him with a bright light. Dani covered her eyes as well and landed on the ground next to Jimmy as he held his flare gun.
"You could warn me next time." Dani said bitterly as she rubbed her eyes.
"I saved you, didn't I?" Jimmy dully said until four daggers landed in the ground near his and Dani's feet.
Skulker, having recovered from the blindness of the flare, hovered above the two. "You think you have technology more powerful than mine, huh big-headed whelp?" he activated a laser from his mechanical glove. "Perhaps after I hunt you down, I can seal you in a cage to be my work mule."
Jimmy quickly takes out his tornado blaster and Dani creates ecto-energy in his hands. But before Skulker could fire his weapon at the two, another ecto-blast directly hit Skulker and knocked him far away from Jimmy and Dani. The genius and the ghost girl turn their heads to see the Fenton RV driving from around the corner with Jazz at the wheel.
The vehicle drove past them and stopped a few feet away. Tucker opened the back of the van and shouted, "Quick! Get in!"
Jimmy and Dani quickly rushed to the RV and hopped inside as Tucker closed the door and Jazz sped off. Skulker stood up and watched them drive away with a scowl across his face.
"You can run, ghost child. But you can't hide."
A game of cat and mouse and out of the frying pan and into the freezer…how worse off can they be? Please leave a review telling what you think and stick around for the next chapter.
