Maddie looked at her son carefully. She took a small scalpel and slit each of their index fingers. Blood began to ooze out of the cuts. Fenton's was red, and Phantoms was a dark green. She put the blood in a test tube.
Jack wrapped up their fingers and watched at what Maddie was doing. She took a stick and stirred the red and green blood together.
"Jack, I need a sample of the substance we used in the signa," she said, waving a hand behind her. She stared intently at the tube in her hands.
Jack ran off and returned with a liquid sample of the electric that spun around the claw when the signa was used on Danny.
Maddie took it from him and poured it into the tube with the blood. They gawked at the results.
When Maddie mixed the two different types of blood it turned to a weird mixed color of green and red. When the liquid from the signa touched them, they immediately separated into two separate colors once more.
"That's weird. When I mixed Danny's two types of blood, it was a chemical reaction. The signa's material shouldn't have separated them again. That's not possible…is it?" Maddie rubbed her chin.
Jack too thought, "Maddie, I think the signa has a reaction with Phantom's ectoplasm. It reacts to that, causing Fenton's blood to separate from the ectoplasm to escape harm."
"Yes, but what type of reaction did it have?" Maddie turned to look at Danny, "Hmm?"
Jack walked up to Fenton and began to check his pulse.
"Jack? What are you doing?" Maddie stared in curiosity.
"I think-" Jack was cut of by a small sizzle from behind Maddie. She turned to see that the ectoplasm had completely dissolved the test tube and was now eating away at the table she had set it down on. The red blood was also being eaten away at, causing the ectoplasm to grow.
Jack and Maddie stood glued to the spot and watched as the ectoplasm completely ate all of Fenton's blood and ate a hole in the table. It fell to the floor and faded, leaving a harmless black blob.
Maddie blinked, "Okay…that was weird."
"I've never seen that happen before," Maddie grabbed a container and set it next to the blob. Then, she pulled on a pair of plastic gloves and put it in the container for testing.
She put it back on the table and sighed, "This is a whole battle and itself. How am I ever going to figure out what we did to Danny?"
"Maddie, I think I have something," Jack was holding Fenton's wrist.
"What?" Maddie walked over next to her husband. She cocked an eyebrow as he began to explain his actions.
"When Phantoms ectoplasm acts up Fenton's body gathers its energy and transfers it to Phantom. You can feel it," he put Maddie's hand on Fenton's wrist so she could feel his pulse. It was weak and getting weaker by the second. Even the small amount of ectoplasm that acted up a few moments ago sent a signal to Fenton, causing his body to send it energy over to Phantom.
"Honey, you're brilliant!" Maddie beamed. She hugged her husband and he smiled from ear to ear.
She let go and looked Jack in the eyes; joy glistening in hers. She, then, turned around and took a few more blood samples from the boys, "We have a lot of studying to do."

Jazz drummed her fingers restlessly on the kitchen table; her other arm held her head in boredom. Sam stared off into space, her thoughts completely centered on Danny. Tucker was munching on some toast he made. His chomps disrupted the eerie silence.
"So, you want to do something? Like play video games?" Tucker asked as he swallowed his last piece of toast.
"How can you think of video games at a time like this?" Jazz wondered, mostly to herself.
Sam simply sighed. She truly didn't know how Tucker could be so optimistic all the time. Danny was dying, and all he could think about was video games.
The hours passed on…and on and on, until Jazz couldn't take it any longer.
"How long is this going to take!" she jumped up from her seat.
Sam and Tucker were startled by her sudden outburst. They stared as she began to rant.
"Danny could be dead and we're just sitting here. We're not helping him any. I say we go into that lab and help Danny!" Jazz faced them; hands on hips and a determined look on her face.
"Um I don't think-" Sam began, but Jazz didn't listen. She bolted into the lab. She was worried about her brother and she was going to help.
"Jazz!" Sam and Tucker ran after her. They got as far as the mid section of the stairs before they ran into Jazz. She was staring at the scene below.
Jack and Maddie had various blood stains on their coats and were vigorously. Both Danny's were covered in their own blood, but it was only because of the tests that were being done on them.
"M…Mom? Dad? Wha…what happened?" Jazz stuttered. She couldn't believe Danny's condition.
"Jazz?" Maddie turned to face her daughter, "I thought we told you to wait upstairs?"
Jazz gawked, "I knew it! Just because Danny's part ghost… you would do this to him! Look at him! He's worse than when you started! I never thought that just because you were ghost hunters you would do such a thing! But not to any ghost! NOOO, you did it to Danny! You're SON!" Jazz's cheeks flushed. She ran down the rest of the stairs and grabbed a blanket. She wrapped up Danny and hugged him.
"Jazz, sweetie, we weren't trying to hurt him. We figured a lot of things with this. We would never hurt our son. We did this because we had too," Maddie took her gloves off and put a hand on Jazz's shoulder in reassurance.
Jazz lightened up a bit. She knew her parents too well to ever accuse them of hurting Danny on purpose, "Well, has he woken up at all?" jazz ran her fingers threw his hair.
"Come to think of it…no?" Maddie turned to face Jack, "We need to clean these two up and get them ready to break the news to."
Jack perked up at there intelligent discoveries being shared. He had just picked up Phantom when the portal began to glow a bright green (or brighter than it had been before)
"There's a ghost coming," Sam made known. Jazz ran to shut the portal, but didn't get there in time. A pink mist filled the room as the ghost entered. It was so thick everyone began to cough.
Eventually, it thinned a little and you could just barely see the tall figures malicious grin just below his piercing red eyes; piercing red eyes that glowered at Danny.

Umm…I just wanted to add that if you have any questions about Jack and Maddie's discoveries, I'll happily explain it to you better. Um, yeah, I'll update soon. Oh and Woot, SAT's are done! And just because I like to say it, I'll say it again, SAT's are DONE!
