-Chapter 3-

"Okay, so I suppose that Dusk just happens to be at the right place at the right time. Danny, I think something's going on here." Sam said, sitting down next to Danny with her lunch. "I'll say. And what's with all the blurred photos and such? Not even my PDA can get a good reading on Dusk." Tusker added, his eyes glued to the mobile device in his hands like usual.

Danny shrugged. "Look Sam, I can tell something's up too. Dusk said that she'd been framed for something she hadn't done and was banished here. How Dusk is able to get to the ghosts before me, I don't know, though she's extremely advanced in her ghost powers, I can tell by the way she fights." Danny said, resting an elbow on the table.

"Look Danny, I reckon you should follow Dusk when she next disappears." Tucker said and Danny shot his friend a glare. "Who knows how fast she could be. She might even be faster than I am Tuck." Danny said, and Tucker shrugged, going back to his PDA.

"So then what should we do, just continue guessing?" Sam's hostile tone was not lost on Danny, but he ignored it. "Fine. Next time Dusk goes I'll follow her." Danny said, throwing his hands up in defeat. Sam nodded, getting up as the school bell rung. "Good. This way we'll find out what Dusk is really here for."


Danny flew above the clouds, his backpack slung across his shoulder. Tucker and Sam were probably following beneath, on their scooters no doubt. They'd been released from school early because of a weather warning. Flying back down to street level, Danny flew alongside Sam and Tucker, casually flying on his back.

"Always nice to get home early huh? Though I have a feeling that it means that we'll be busy with ghosts." Danny said, as Tucker shrugged. "Who cares? No one want's to be stuck with Lancer as your teacher for the session. Him being principle is bad enough." Danny grinned at his friends words. "I gotta agree with that one."

Sam looked towards the sky, which was starting to grow grey with rain-filled clouds. "Who cares? I just want to be home before the storm hits." Sam sighed, annoyance in her voice. As if on cue, a clash of thunder sounded out and a light rain started to fall. "Oh goodie. This just gets better and better..." Danny said, sulking.

Danny was just about to fly above the rain-clouds when a blue mist came from his mouth. "Oh come on! I have to fight in the rain?!" Danny exclaimed, throwing his hands up in exasperation. A cackling laugh was the only reply to his cry, along with the revelation of the ghost

"Oh goodie. Vortex." Danny muttered, tossing his bag to Sam who caught it and pulled out the Fenton Thermos for when Danny needed it. Charging up an ecto sphere, Danny glared at Vortex. "Can't we have a normal thunderstorm for once?" He muttered, shooting the ecto ray at Vortex who dodged, to get a solid kick to the face from Dusk, who had arrived moments earlier.

"Argh! What?!" Vortex growled, recoiling from the kick. Dusk floated back around Vortex, a white glow coming from her head scythe. swinging her head, Dusk sent the white aura flying at Vortex, who dodged this one to get an ice ray from Danny. "Thanks for the help there Dusk." Danny said, waving to the quadrupedal creature.

-This place is full of surprises eh?- Dusk mused, jumping above Vortex, who glanced between the two, contemplating his options on who to attack. Sending a lightning bolt in Dusk's direction, Vortex zoomed towards Dusk, who watched Vortex with curious eyes.

Dusk dodged the lightning bolt and jumped over Vortex, floating behind the weather ghost. -Wow, did you really think that would work?- Dusk muttered, a shadowy aura flickering around her usual black aura. The shadowy aura grew larger, before Dusk fired it, sending it at Vortex to was blasted back heaps by the attack.

"Sam! The Thermos!" Danny said, catching it as Sam threw the Fenton Thermos up to him. Taking off the lid, Danny shot it at Vortex, who was sucked into the blue beam, emitting a cry of annoyance. Putting the cap back on, Danny looked to Dusk, who was floating over. Flying back down to Sam and Tucker, Dusk landed across from the two.

-You must be Sam and Tucker. I'm sure Danny has told you about myself- Dusk mused, amusement in her green eyes. "Yea. Dusk right? Danny said you were here because of some banishment thing." Sam said and Dusk nodded. -Yes, that's true. I apologise for how quickly I disappear. It's a... Precaution- Dusk said, he head perking up at an unknown sound. -Shoot. They're getting too close. I have to go. I'll find you later to talk- Dusk said, sinking into the ground just as the storm clouds vanished.

Sorry for how late this one is! I just got over my writer's block!
