Sorry for taking so long! Exams killed me and now I am a zombie typing this. My favorite book is probably Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but I love the whole series. 7/7/07 for book 7!!! (Well that's what I am hoping. JK said she wasn't sure.)

\o/ Chapter 3 \o/

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

-5 hours later-

Sam yawned as she passed Tucker, carrying an armful of wood. When Sam dropped in off in the road, a nail that she wasn't aware of gave her a small cut. "Ow!" She exclaimed, pressing her hand over it to stop the bleeding before it came. She was exhausted. She turned back to the ruins. They had cleared a lot. They finished clearing of the neighbor's roof, the Fenton's Op center, and were halfway through the Fenton's roof. All they needed to do was finish the roof, clean out the second floor, go through the first floor, and then finally get to the basement.

She looked over at Danny's parents. They looked exhausted as well. Maddie called Danny and Jazz's name every thirty minutes to see if they would get an answer, but they were always disappointed. Finally Maddie turned to her and Tucker and said, "You two should probably be heading home now. You need to sleep."

Tucker just nodded and turned to leave but Sam said, "You guys need to rest too. You won't be much help if you guys are going this slow tomorrow."

Jack came over and said, "She's right. We need to find someplace to sleep."

Maddie turned to her husband and said, "But our kids are under there Jack… we can't just leave them."

"We will be able to get them out faster if we sleep. Then we will actually have the energy to make up what we missed sleeping in half the time." Jack explained, totally out of character.

Maddie sighed, defeated. "But I'm only doing this for the kids." She stated, as they started walking to where they parked the RV. Now alone, Sam picked up her scooter and looked at the ruins one last time and said, "Hold in there guys, we're coming." Then she speed off towards her house.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Danny groaned as he woke up. He didn't want to wake up, it felt nice when he was asleep, no pain, no thoughts. The first two things that Danny noticed were that his leg was killing him, and he couldn't breath without it hurting. He opened his eyes but they had to get adjusted to the dark. There was only a splinter of light coming through to him. Danny tried to breath deeply, but discovered he couldn't. Suddenly he remembered everything. He became much more aware of his body and the pain increased ten fold. He yelled.

"Danny?" A familiar voice asked, hopefully.

"Jazz?" Danny shakily asked. He couldn't breath. He looked around. He was covered in debris except for his chest and his leg looked like they had something big on them… big and heavy.

"Danny!" She exclaimed as he tried to move the thing off of his chest. "I was so worried! I thought you were gone…" Jazz almost whispered. He could tell she was close crying. Danny was more worried about the thing on his chest though. It wouldn't budge.

"Jazz… I can't… breath…" He gasped still trying to move the thing.

"What?" She asked. "What do you mean you can't breath?"

Danny winced when he laid his arm down on something sharp. "I'm trapped…" He replied.

"Well then go intangible and get us out of this mess!"

'Oh yeah…' Danny thought. 'I would have thought of that sooner if I wasn't getting C's.' Danny concentrated on going ghost. The blue ring faintly formed around his waist, but then it disappeared. He tried again, and concentrated harder. It appeared again and started to separate except suddenly he felt like his body was being ripped in half. He yelled and it stopped and disappeared again.

"What's wrong?" Jazz asked worriedly.

"I- I can't…" He said wondering what was wrong. Then he simply tried to go intangible still in his human form, but nothing happened. Not even the tingling sensation that he normally got right before it worked. Suddenly the panic started and he had even more trouble breathing. "Jazz! I'm being… crushed!" Danny exclaimed.

"Don't panic… when I woke up you didn't wake up for another hour or so and you were breathing fine then, so just take small breaths." Danny did as he was told and took more but smaller breaths. It still hurt to breath but at least it was helping a bit.

Danny examined the thing on his chest. It was about eight feet long and four feet wide. Then he realized that it was a piece of ceiling from the lab with more rubble on top. It had to weigh three or four hundred pounds, all sitting on his chest.

After a minute Danny asked, "Jazz? Where are you?"

"Look to your right. There's a hole and you should be able to see me." Danny looked and saw a crack where he could see his sister's face, about ten feet away.

"Are you okay?" He asked. "I can only see your head."

"I'm fine. I actually think I have a chance of getting out of here. I am covered in a whole bunch of smaller things from my waist down, and I have been clearing them off for a while now. I'm not hurt too bad; I just have a headache from hitting my head on the floor and being knocked out." Danny winced for her and nodded.

"How long do you think we've been out?" Danny asked, suddenly shivering. It was summer, except he felt like he needed a coat.

"I don't know… but it worries me that I see sunlight… I think that we were out of it all of last night."

Danny looked up through the splinter of light he saw. "Do you think anybody knows we're under here?"

"Probably." Danny randomly moaned. "What?" Jazz asked.

"We are at the bottom of our house. Even if they do find us down here it's going to take them a millennium to dig us out." Jazz didn't say anything.

Danny tried yawning, but then realized that caused his chest to expand, and that hurt. He was so tired for some reason. He had a huge headache, he felt really light-headed, his leg felt like it was shattered and it hurt to move his chest. He faintly heard Jazz trying to dig herself out and he closed his eyes…

"Danny?" Jazz asked.

"What?" He grumbled.

"Just making sure that you are still with me." She said.

Danny rubbed his eyes. "I'm soooo tired." He said.

Suddenly the sound of Jazz digging herself out stopped. "But you just woke up."

"Yep." Danny stated, closing his eyes again.

"Danny, don't fall asleep." Jazz demanded.

"What? Why?" He asked his teeth chattering.

"And you're cold too?"

"Yeah, why does that matter?" He asked.

"You might be going in to shock." She said.

"Oh great." He said sarcastically, thinking back to eighth grade health class. "I flunked health. Are my going to die or something?" He asked.

"Well straight from my text book, 'Shock is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body is not getting enough blood flow. This can damage multiple organs. Shock requires immediate medical treatment and can get worse very rapidly.'"

"Greeeeaaat" Danny said again. "Well I don't suppose I'm going to get immediate medical treatment down here are my?"

"Nope, but just, I don't know, try to stay warm, and if you can, put your legs up twelve inches off the ground." Danny could only move one foot, but barely.

"I can't." He stated.

Jazz started digging herself out again. "You're really stuck aren't you? As soon as I dig myself out of here I am coming over there to see if I can help you out."

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Maddie sat straight up in bed, her skin clammy even though she was sweating. She looked around, confused, but then realized it was just another nightmare. She massaged her temples and tried to forget the dream she just had of another horrible tornado related death of her children. She absentmindedly looked over to the clock and jumped. It was already noon.

"Jack! Get up! We slept in!" She said shaking her husband. He didn't wake up. "Jack!" Still nothing. She sighed and knew from experience that he could get run over by train and still not wake up. She tried poking him hardly once more, but then got up and started getting ready for the day. After grabbing a bagel to go, she took the RV and drove to the disaster alone.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

"I'm almost out Danny! I can move my legs now! Just a few more minutes and I think I can pull them free."

"Okay." Danny said weakly. He was so tired. The darkness at the edges of his mind was growing larger and Danny just wanted to close his eyes and sleep, except then he knew he might not wake up.

"Okay I think I've got them now!" Danny looked over to see her excided face in the crack. "Ready? One… two… three!" And Danny heard her yanked her legs out. "Got it!" She yelled, but suddenly Danny heard a loud creaking. The place where her lower legs were, crashed down, causing everything in their delicately balanced space to shift.

Danny looked up and saw a couple of long planks of wood falling towards him, so he covered his face with his arms and tried to protect himself as much as he could. He heard crashing all around him and he heard his sister scream.

Danny looked through the small hole and saw another piece of ceiling like the one crushing him falling towards his sister, and when it crashed down, she disappeared under it.

"JAZZ!" Danny cried, before he was buried. Suddenly the noise stopped and everything was calm again. It was dead silent.

"Jazz?!? Jazz!?!" He yelled, hoping to get a response. He didn't get one. In a sudden burst of energy he cleared away all of the wood on top of him, looking for his sister. He saw the ceiling, he saw the extra wood, but he didn't see his sister.

"C'mon Jazz! Are you okay? Answer me! Jazz?" Danny called, but there was still no answer.

She had to be under there somewhere. Just knocked out. "Jazz!" He yelled again. "Jazz I know your there! Answer me!" He demanded. Nothing.

"No…" He whispered, fearing the worst. This was entirely his fault. If only he was stronger… if only he was able to keep them intangible instead of letting her go… If only he could able to save her instead of being clamped under the mess. "No." He stated, stronger. She couldn't be gone. She couldn't just give up that easy. She is probably still alive under there and just needs help. His sister needed him.

Suddenly in a burst of energy he yelled, "I'M GOING GHOST!" Even though every fiber of his being told him not to do it, the two rings formed, and separated. He yelled in agony as it transformed him, but his sister needed him. Soon he was fully transformed and the pain started to ebb away. Finally he took a breath and went intangible, and then he flew out from under his prison.

The ceiling crashed down where his body used to be, and more wood fell down, and he stayed intangible and it just went through him. Then, unable to stay intangible anymore, he fell back down to the beams and laid there, letting his body get used to not having as confined of areas.

His leg still hurt like crazy, and when he looked at it, it was swollen and disfigured. He guessed he broke a few ribs, thus causing it to hurt to breath. He just hoped his rib didn't puncture his lung or heart or that he was internally bleeding, because the external was enough for him.

Finally getting enough energy, he slowly got up and flew over to where he last saw his sister and looked for her, both over and under the ceiling piece. She wasn't there. His heart quickly sinking, he looked all around for her, but she wasn't anywhere to be found.

If something crushed her lungs and she couldn't breath she would already be dead! He had to hurry, but he couldn't find her anywhere. What was going on? When he thought that she might have been gone he didn't mean literally. He was scared. He might have killed his sister. He couldn't find her on his own. He was about to run out of energy. He needed help.

"Jazz, if you're there, I'll be right back with help. I'm not leaving you." He said shakily to the place she used to lie. Then he took off, out of the prison he had been trapped in for the past night. The sunlight almost surprised him. He was so tired, but he needed to save his sister. He barely had enough energy to fly, but he sped ahead, letting the wind whip his face.

He looked at the destruction below him. It was almost too much to handle. He closed his eyes. Phantom was supposed to be the strong hero, but he was crumbling to pieces. 'You killed your sister' The thought seemed to pop out of nowhere.

'No!' He thought. His sister is still alive. She had to be.

'You could have saved her but you were too weak.'

"She's alive." He actually stated out loud, as if that would make it true, but even he was surprised how shaky it sounded.

Suddenly he pictured Jazz, lying there under the debris wondering why he hadn't saved her yet, slowly dieing. Her ghost would haunt him, always repeating, 'How could you? How could you just give up on me like that? I had a life Danny… but you destroyed it.'

Danny closed his eyes and clutched his head and screamed, "NO!" and finally, fell from the sky and hit the ground, his body shaking.

'You killed me…' Jazz's voice echoed in his head as he finally passed out.

Suddenly someone's shadow covered Danny's body. Her hand shaking, she put something similar to a glowing marble in to his hand, just as instructed. As soon as it touched his hand it immediately started glowing, and the glow traveled up his body. As soon as his entire figure was surrounded, he started to glow brightly. Suddenly his figure flickered out of sight and the girl said, "Good luck lil' bro."
