-1The Box Ghost laughed as several large boxes flew over the teen's head. "Prepare to be crushed." The boxes shot downward.

Both Sam and Tucker ducked their heads down as the boxes fell. Danny grabbed their arms with reflexes that amazed him and pulled them away. He had forgotten that there was a large wall of boxes behind them. His body shimmered with blue light and all three of them turned transparent. He pulled Sam and Tucker through the wall as the boxes smashed the floor they had been standing on.

Vlad smiles from his hidden perch. "His reflexes our activating his powers better than I predicted."

The Box Ghost looked at the wall puzzled for a moment. "How did he do that?"

Tucker stood up and brushed the dust from his clothes. He had expected to be a geek pancake, but he was fine. The wall of boxes was in front of him and the exit door was behind him. "Hey guys." He glanced to his right and found Danny on the floor with Sam on top of him. The pair had landed that way and froze as they looked into each other eyes. "GUYS! Crazy box controlling ghost just feet away." The two blushed and quickly got to their feet. Tucker went to the door. "Can we put the hormones on hold until we are out of life threatening danger?" Tucker tried to push the door open. It held fast. "The lockers are still blocking the door."

Danny and Sam tried to help push the door. Sam backed away. "We can't get enough leverage on the lockers. The door was blocked by the center of the group. Zack pulled at it from the side."

"So were trapped." Danny gulped as Sam nodded her head.

The box wall behind them shook and pulled apart. Tucker fell to his knees. "We're all going to die." He started to cry. "And before I got to touch next year's computer models."

Danny took a shaky step forward as The Box Ghost floated toward him. "You not harming my friends."

"And what do you plan to do? Your are simply a puny mortal human."

Vlad scanner beeped almost loud enough for the others to hear. Vlad quickly turned the sound off. "Power levels are rising quickly." He maneuvered for a closer look. "It is going to happen."

Danny's eyes gleamed with green light as a pale white aura surrounded him. A ring of white energy from around his waist. "I am tired of being kicked around! I am tired of being picked on! And I am extremely tired of being helpless!" The ring flashed and split into two. The rings moved up and down his body. His clothes changed into a black bodysuit with white gloves and boots. His hair changed to snow white and his eyes glowed with green light. Danny blinked a few times and looked over his new form. "What happened?"

Box Ghost said nothing for several seconds before starting to laugh again. "So now what are you going to do? I am The Box Ghost! You cannot defeat me simply by changing you hair color." He raised his arms and a large box floated over him. "Now I will crush you!"

Danny felt a rush of energy through out his body. He lunged forward at the ghost. "Not today!" He swung his fist and connected with Box Ghost's jaw. The ghost fell back and the box dropped to the ground.

"You hit me?" The Box Ghost floated into the air. "How can a puny human touch a ghost?" He flew upward so his head was touching the ceiling. "No matter. Lets see you get me from up here." He waved his arms and several small boxes floated up and surrounded him. He snapped his fingers and the boxes shot toward Danny and his friends.

"Take cover!" Sam and Tucker dove behind a small stack of boxes. Danny froze as the boxes came at him. He covered his eyes. His body shimmered and turned transparent. The flying boxes shot through him and crashed onto the floor behind him. Danny noticed the lack of pain and opened his eyes. His body returned to being solid. "Did he miss?"

Vlad smile grew. "It is all instinct and reflexes, but his powers have already surpassed mine when I first got mine." He glanced at The Box Ghost. "But I fear that even this low level could prove trouble since Daniel hasn't a clue how to use his powers. I suppose that a little help wouldn't disrupt my findings to much." Vlad flew carefully and got behind Danny. He doubted that Danny could fly, but he had another idea. He touched Danny's hand with his finger and sent a small surge of power into it. To anyone looking, it looked like a small flash of purple light. Vlad nodded to himself and backed off.

Danny's hand glowed with green light. "Huh?" Danny held up his glowing hand. "What is this?"

"Puny mortal!" The Box Ghost shined with blue light and every box in the room left the floor. "Lets see you avoid this."

"Do something!" Tucker tried to flatten himself against the wall as best as he could.

"Anything!" Sam was trying to open the door.

Danny gulped. "Here goes something. I hope." Danny held his palm out at the ghost and a green beam fired from his hand. It hit the ghost in the chest and he fell down. The boxes in the air also fell to the floor and the entire room shook as they impacted. Danny rushed forward as The Box Ghost pushed himself up. "Take this!" Danny rammed his fist straight into the ghost's face. The impact sent the ghost into the far wall.

"This isn't over!" The Box Ghost phased through the wall.

Danny sighed with relief and dropped to a sitting position. "Glad that is over."

With the threat if being crushed over, both Sam and Tucker had time take in Danny's transformation. "Dude!" Tucker walked over and pulled out one of Danny's hairs. "How did you dye this so quickly?" The hair turned back to black shortly after being pulled. Tucker dropped it like it was diseased. "And how did you do that?"

Sam knelt down and looked into Danny's green eyes. "I'm not sure what to make of this, but I do like the new look."

"Really?" Danny face brightened.

"Really." Sam held out her hand and pulled Danny to his feet. "But right now are main concern should be getting out of here."

"Yeah!" Danny flexed his arms. "I feel stronger like this so I'll see if I can make those stupid lockers move." Danny walked over to the door and pushed on it. He flashed with white light and turned back to hid normal form. Danny looked down at himself and shrugged. "So much for that idea."

"Now what?" Tucker groaned. "Well never get out of here." He pounded his head on the door. "Why wont this stupid thing open?" The doorknob turned and the door swung open. A large man stood in the doorway.

"I see three students who are in a heap of trouble." All three teens sighed. It was Mr. Lancer.

Vlad watched the teacher lead Danny and the others out. "I am pleased by what has happened here today. Yes! My failed attempt on Jack's pathetic life has proved me with something far more valuable. An apprentice." Vlad laughed as he phased out of the room.
