Chapter 3

Skulker flew through the ghost-zone to the artificial portal. He had talked to the Box ghost earlier that night, and had decided to go right away. He didn't need sleep, so there was nothing stopping him. He hoped that the portal would be open…

But it wasn't his lucky day. It didn't matter though; Vlad had given him an instant portal-creator. He ripped a hole to the mortal realms, and a second later he stood in the Fenton basement. Skulker scanned the room. He soon saw the small inactive portal. He flew up to it and turned it on. It worked. There was only one inconveniency: Skulker was too big. But, being a ghost, he squeezed himself through.

He now floated a few centimeters above the sleeping Amy. 'This is going to be easier than stealing candy from a baby,' he said to himself.

He grabbed his instant-cage and threw her in. She opened an eye, but didn't struggle. 'Nice to see someone working along for a change, girl. You may not be as precious as the ghostboy, but you'll do. And if he comes to rescue you, I'll catch him anyway,' Skulker said.

'Uhm, n-not to spoil the fun, but… shouldn't he know you have me first?'Amy asked.

'Hmmm… You're smart. I like that. Maybe I'll keep you alive if you've served your purpose.' He then broke off a part of his suit, and dropped it on the bed. 'This will do,' Skulker said, before flying back through the two portals and going back to his lair.

For the second time that night, Amy woke up from a green flash. What? Is Danny back already? she thought, but then she saw Skulker. Quickly she pretended to sleep.

'This is going to be easier than stealing candy from a baby,' she heard him say.

She braced herself as she heard the cage open. A cold metal hand grasped her and stuffed her in. Amy wanted to fight back, but she didn't have the courage or the weapons.

'…I'll catch him anyway.'

'Uhm, n-not to spoil the fun, but… shouldn't he now you have me first?' Amy asked.

The sooner Danny would know where she was, the better prepared he would be. And if he didn't come soon enough, Amy wasn't sure Skulker would spare her.

'… Maybe I'll keep you alive if you've served you're purpose.' Oh, look at that. Maybe he will, she thought as they flew through the portal, the lab, the ghost portal and eventually the ghost-zone.

Danny woke up from a familiar cold shiver. He opened his eyes to see a blue wisp of air curl up. 'Urgh, why now? I'm trying to sleep!' he whispered.

He changed to ghost mode and phased to the basement. He looked around, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. Being sleepy, he didn't pay attention to how the new portal was now activated. Huh, false alarm. He shrugged and flew back to his room.

Just as he had gotten back into bed, his ghost sense went off again. 'This could better not be false alarm again!' Again, he flew to the laboratory, and again, there was no ghost in sight. 'Damnit!' He went back to bed without noticing that the new portal was now off.

Next morning, Danny's father woke him up by practically slurring him out of bed.

'Dannyboy! Wake up son, we've got a portal to investigate!' Jack ran downstairs, grabbed some toast and went to the basement.

Danny slowly followed. When he was finally down in the lab, he saw that his parents were already there.

'So, Danny,' Maddie started, 'yesterday you told us about the 'cartoon' in the other world. Could you seek some more information on that subject?'

'Yeah sure. See you guys later!' he said and flew through the portal.

He almost immediately jumped back out. Worry was spread over his face. 'Mom, dad? Amy is gone. She's kidnapped by Skulker.'

'Danny, are you sure?' his mother asked.

'Yes. Only he would leave Tuckers old PDA,' he answered.

'Then we'll have to save her!' his mom replied.

'No. Í have to. I don't want to put any of you in danger,' Danny said, and added: 'Besides, I've defeated Skulker a thousand times. What could possibly go wrong?'

'Hmm, I guess you're right,' Maddie gave in.

'Are you really sure, Danny?' his father asked worried.

'Yes dad, I'll be fine. I'm goin' ghost!' Danny yelled, and flew into the ghost-zone.

After countless battles, Danny knew to find his enemies' lairs pretty well. So it wasn't before long until he saw Skulker's lair, the island that was covered in plants. 'Now where did he hide you…,' Danny murmured to himself.

In a big, dark, rocky room, Skulker stood in front of a few computer screens. Behind him, trapped in a purple cage, was Amy. And in the corner stood a big cannon-like weapon.

Skulker had boasted about it to Amy and she now knew pretty much what it was supposed to do. It shot an unbreakable, ghost-proof cable at whatever it targeted. The only way one could break free from it, was pushing a button on the machine itself. (After Skulker had told Amy that, he facepalmed and said something about seeing Technus too often.)

He was now checking his scanners. Suddenly, one of them bleeped. 'Human matter detected,' the screen read.

'I've got you now, whelp!' Skulker pushed a button, and the cave wall slowly opened. Outside, you could see the green swirls of the ghost-zone.

Amy looked up. She was just in time to see Skulker leave. Time to escape, she thought.

And so far chapter 4. More reviews are always nice! And if you review, do tell what you think of the new formatting.
