DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN DANNY PHANTOM
The Unluckys
GHOST ZONE BIKERS HANGOUT
Johnny 13 pulled up to the cantina, Shadow was begging him not to go in. "Sorry Shadow but this is our only option". Truthfully he didn't want to do this but he had no choice. As he stepped through the door, all eyes turned on him. "Hey guys long time no see," Johnny laughed nervously. When all of a sudden someone grabbed him and forced him to sit at a corner table.
"You got a lot of nerve showing your ugly mug around here 13," said a lizard man. Right next to him sat a cowboy shuffling a deck of cards.
"My old crew Snake eyes and Aces'n8," Johnny tried to sound happy, "I have a problem Kitty has been taken by the Guys in White, and I just happen to get some new bikes so…"
"You owe us those bikes after your Shadow trashed our old rides 13, but as for Kitty," said Aces'n8 as he set down his cards, "you know how it goes you win we'll help, if you lose Heh Heh Heh".
Johnny gulped as he cut the deck. Across the bar two figures got up and left.
-Location Unknown-
"So Kitty got caught, and now Johnny 13 is gathering his old gang to spring her."
"We could this to our advantage, for our own little jailbreak."
"Yes looks like you'll be able to make up for that blunder you did with the ghost boy."
"Hey how was I supposed to know that Camelot was behind that vortex," complained Tuk, "besides who cares if he's got a fancy new sword".
"Fool that sword links him to the Human king the one true enemy of the Ghost king."
"Enough, this bickering is pointless! Now you two head for GiW headquarters."
Dan and Tuk disappeared.
HUMAN WORLD GiW HEADQUARTERS
"So why are we here?" Danny asked rather annoyed.
"Tucker managed to pull some strings with the Guys in White to share ghost fighting tactics," explained Jazz.
"Don't you mean use us for target practice," grunted Dani.
Jazz knew that this would be their reaction. However, after learning that Tuk and Dan Phantom survived the ghost bomb, Jazz couldn't help feel that something big was going on. Whatever it is, it's clear that they are going to need help in the future much to the disagreement form the rest of the team.
"We don't need their help, we've been doing fine on our own," complained Sam, "Where's Vale?"
"Trying out those new blasters over there," Dani pointed to Vale who was going wild at the shooting range.
"Look I know we are not exactly on good terms with the GiW, but we have to improve our relationship with the government," Jazz pleaded.
"Fine, we'll give them a chance," Danny conceded.
-Short Time Later-
Valerie was having a blast, blasting every gun that the GiW developed. Jazz was sharing her ghost files and theories with the Intel dept. Sam was arguing with the clean up dept. about how their detergent is harmful to the environment and suggesting eco-friendlier ones. Danny and Dani were having sparring matches with the Agents. Things seemed to be going well except for the hateful glares they were getting.
The group met up at the mess hall for lunch and to catch up on what they've been doing. All in all things seem to be proceeding smoothly. Vale commented how the guns were big on power not so much on accuracy. Sam complained how they were jerks because they refused to switch detergents because it doesn't make their suits white enough. Jazz was shocked to see how well informed they were about the ghost zone, even having a bigger more detailed map she did. Dani bragged how the Agents were no match for her mad skills as she started punching and kicking the air. Danny added that the Agents could be a threat if they weren't so concerned about keeping their suits clean.
Over at the GiW table the Agents compared their experiences. Most agree that the Ghost Getters needed therapy. Stating how Valerie shoots like a lunatic also calling her guns pea shooters. That the Goth girl has some nerve telling them how to do laundry, saying that she probably never even washes her own clothes. How Jazz lost her composure after finding out that they knew more than her. Finally what they thought about the halfas is best left unsaid. Halfway into their meal the ecto-intruder alarm went off. As the GiW Agents scrambled to their positions, Danny and the others headed to the security office.
"What's going on?" asked Danny as he entered the surveillance room.
"Not that it's any of your business, looks like Johnny 13 and some others have infiltrated the base," replied the Chief Security Officer.
Looking at the security monitors they saw three figures on bikes charging the base. Johnny 13 sending shadow to attack, a lizard man swinging a bull whip, and a cowboy shooting the guns out of the Agents hands rodeo style.
"Why would Johnny 13 attack GiW Headquarters, it doesn't make sense?" remarked Jazz.
"We apprehended Kitty about 2 weeks ago, he was probably looking for some help to break her out," answered the Chief, "anyway this is nothing we can't handle".
"Yes I can see that," Dani said sarcastically as every monitor showed GiW Agents running away, "come on guys let's show them how it's done".
"No! As head of security I can't have you running around on your own. If you want to help you must follow my instructions," said the Chief.
"Yes sir," Jazz quickly answered signaling the others to not say a word.
"Good why don't you 'Ghost Getters' get going to storage 5 in case they try to steal anything," smirked the Chief.
Short time later at storage 5 the Danny was pacing around impatiently. "So why are we here again?" Danny asked, "the prison is on the opposite side of the base, he's obviously is trying to keep us out of the way."
Jazz sighed this was the third time he asked, "Danny this is GiW HQ so they call the shots here, so we have to follow them even if they are stupid ones."
Just then Danny's ghost sense went off as Johnny and his gang phased through the wall.
"You've got to be kidding, why are you here and who are they?" Johnny asked.
"We're the 'Ghost Getters' and we're going to stop you from doing whatever it is you are here to do," said Jazz in her tough guy voice. The others lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Ghost Getters that is the best you guys can come up with," chuckled Johnny.
"Better than the 'Unluckys' why are we wearing these club jackets anyway?" asked Aces'n8.
"Because you had to go double or nothing twice, now not only do we have to help Kitty but 13 got to pick the name and jacket design," complained Snake eyes.
"Enough, Shadow!" Johnny yelled as his shadow charged at Danny.
Shadow attacked but Danny and Dani quickly it put down. After Shadow fell the unluckys scattered. Splitting up Danny went after Johnny, Vale chased after Aces'n8, leaving Dani with Snake eyes. Sam quickly followed Danny and Jazz went to the phone to inform the Chief what happened. As Jazz dialed the number to the security office Shadow knocked her out and entered the store room.
Dani followed Snake into the gym where she threw the free weights at him like Frisbees. Snake using his whip tossed the bigger equipment at her. Wanting to get a good shot in Dani fired an ecto-beam at the mirrors in the gym. As the beams reflected off the mirrors they managed to burn the jacket and whip.
"Not bad kid. I was going to thank you for getting rid of that jacket, but you ruined one of my favorite whips," Snake said angrily as he took something out of his pocket. "Now you will see why they call me Snake eyes."
"You mean it's not because of your scaly complexion?" teased Dani.
Snake smiled and tossed two dice on the ground, both landed on one. "Snake Eyes you lose." Suddenly a giant snake appeared with dice for eyes. Dani screamed in terror as the snake charged.
Vale reached the shooting range and was having a fire fight with Aces'n8. "For a guy using only a six shooter he's holding out pretty good," Vale said to herself. Wanting to end this Vale fired a missile which in turn destroyed his bike and the gun range.
"MY BIKE!" screamed Aces'n8, "That's it girl you just drew the 'DEAD MAN'S HAND'!" Tossing a deck of cards into the air they were a full house of Aces and Eights. The cards grew six feet tall with arms and legs each had either; a spade sword, a diamond spear, heart shield, or a club 'club'.
As Vale began to fight this new group all she could say was, "so this is what Alice went through."
Danny as chased Johnny around the base, he couldn't help feel that something was wrong. So far Johnny was only running he wasn't attacking at all. Even stranger was that none of the GiW Agents were fighting either. Instead they seem to be leading them towards the prison. The moment Johnny reached the prison he immediately started to sweet talk Kitty.
"Great now that you two have found each other you can share that cell," said Danny as soon as he caught up.
"I don't think so, it is you who should surrender," said Johnny.
"Why is that?" asked Danny. Johnny smiled and pointed behind him to Snake eyes and Aces'n8. Snake eyes had Dani in the jaws of a giant snake, and Aces had two cards holding a barely conscious Vale up.
Sam had just caught up with Danny to see the bad situation he was in. Luckily she had a Fenton lipstick/ecto-gun in her pocket. Knowing she probably have only one shot, Sam looked for a way to free Dani and Vale. Sam took a deep breath and charged in. "Let my teammates go," Sam yelled as she fired at Snake's bike. The bike exploded causing both the snake and the cards to drop their hostages.
"MY BIKE!" roared Snake as he reached into his pockets, "you'll pay for that girl!"
All of a sudden there was a loud scream as the base started to shake. The ground broke apart and out came Dan and Tuk Phantom. "Did we have to take the subway, why couldn't we just use the front door like everybody else!" complained Tuk.
"It's more dramatic this way, besides looks like we made it in time for main event," Dan chuckled.
Tuk looked around seeing not only Danny and his friends but the Unluckys as well. After a second of everyone eyeing one another a three way battle began; Dan shot at everyone, Johnny was trying to unlock Kitty's cell, Snake and Sam were fighting each other, Aces focused mainly on Dan, Tuk was looking for their target, Danny was trying to protect his fallen teammates, while Dani and Vale struggled to join in the fight.
Sam ran around dodging the snakes that came out of the dice. Luckily she realized that the snakes only came then the dice came up snake eyes, so when Snake toss the dice Sam would blast them before they hit the ground changing their outcome. Even so three snakes materialized and attacked Sam. Danny, not wanting to leave Vale and Dani, created a copy of himself to help Sam with the snakes but it was destroyed by Dan. How he wished he had his sword here, but he didn't want the GiW to confiscate it so he left it home. Vale after shaking the dizziness from her head she noticed that Tuk wasn't participating in the battle. Instead he was checking cell after cell. Vale knew that whoever he was looking for he mustn't find. Pressing the recall button on her suit cause her board to start up and fly to her. Jumping on her board she attacked Tuk.
Tuk was losing patients, not only has he not found who he was looking for but Vale dares attack him from behind. Forgetting his mission Tuk flew up and knocked Vale off her board. Then he fired an ecto-beam at her. Hearing her screams, Danny charged towards Tuk but was blocked by Dan. Dan grabbed his arm and threw him at Johnny who was still trying to open Kitty's cell. Under the constant barrage of Tuk's attack Vale felt something inside her break. Mystic symbols appeared out of her body then shattered. Next a ring formed, splitting then traveled across her body turning her into a ghost. Instinctively Vale fired her own beam knocking Tuk back. The battle paused as everyone stood in shock at what just happened.
"Valerie is a halfa too! You've got to be kidding me!" complained Sam.
After Tuk got up he saw Vale in her ghost form, "Man the Advisors will not be happy about this." Then he noticed that he was right in front of the guy he was looking for, "but this might make it up for them."
As round 2 of the battle was about to commence several beams came down from the ceiling trapping everyone except Sam.
"Attention all ghost, you are all trapped by containment shield you have no choice but to surrender!" announced the GiW over the intercom.
"I don't think so," Dan said as he took a deep breath. Unleashing his ghostly wail all the electronics in the area suddenly shorted and exploded releasing every ghost in prison.
Not wanting to stay any longer than they have to Johnny 13 grabbed Kitty and rode off. Snake and Aces angry over the loss of their bikes cased after Johnny. Tuk landed next to Dan carrying someone in his arms. Dan smiled and opened a ghost portal and let out one last ghostly wail before exiting.
-Outside the GiW Headquarters-
"Alright 13 now you're going to pay for our bikes," hissed Snake eyes.
"It wasn't my fault, it was them they destroyed your rides," pleaded Johnny.
"Enough!" voice behind them yelled, "Johnny 13 I hope you managed to complete your task." Snake and Aces backed away from the newcomer since he had some huge bodyguards.
"Yeah, I got it for you, Shadow," Johnny said nervously as Shadow appeared with a small cylinder and handed it to Bill.
Bill opened the cylinder and shaking it a few times a small rock landed in his hands. Bill winced in pain but smiled afterwards, "well done Johnny now as for your reward." Bill snapped his fingers and the one of the hulking clones approached him.
"Wait we had a deal," Johnny begged. Then the clone dropped something in front of Johnny.
"As we agreed; a new turbo bike with radar jammers, portal generators, and side car with cappuccino maker." Johnny decided not to overstay his welcome jumped to his new ride, Kitty followed sitting in the side car.
"Wait 13 you still owe us!" Aces said as he jumped in front the new bike. "Maybe we'll take that rock, must be worth something."
"You want it fine," Bill said as he tossed the stone at Aces who caught it mid-air. Aces then screamed in pain before dropping the stone.
"No, then how about this," Bill snapped his fingers again and the clones dropped off two more bikes minus the side car. "Consider this a down payment for possible future jobs O.K. boys."
"We'll think about it," Said Snake as the Unluckys rode off.
"You know these deals are costing lot with nothing to show for it," said Bertrand, "How do you plan to finance the rest of your plan, not to mention pay us?"
"Quiet, you want him to kill us!" Spectra whispered.
"No it's quite alright," just then his cell phone rang. "Hello, yes do we have a deal. Great call you later 'Mom'. And that dear Bertrand is our money problems being solved," Bill laugh.
-Back at GiW Headquarters-
Danny and the other were being escorted off the base. Not too surprising the GiW blamed them for the whole thing. Stating that they left their post which allowed the theft of some confidential material, what they wouldn't say. Tucker met up with them in his limo to drive them home, and he wasn't very happy.
"Danny this was supposed to a public relations job, now I have to renegotiate my deal with them," Tucker complained.
"Wait, what deal are you talking about?" asked Danny.
"The one which I provide info on the ghost zone and weapons and they make a generous donation to town's budget," said Tucker.
"You mean you're selling our secrets to then, no wonder they're so informed," stated Jazz.
"Tuck how could you sell us out like that," demanded Sam.
"Do you know how much the town spends in repairs every time you guys get into a fight? Do you know that ghost attacks have been increasing across the country? Not every city has a local hero to protect them all they have are the GiW. Like it or not I have to look at the big picture so sorry if what I have to do doesn't agree with your personal philosophy," Tucker said.
"Danny, aren't you going to say something," Sam turned to Danny only to see him staring at Vale. Sam could tell that Vale turning into a halfa was the only thing on Danny's mind right now. She herself had a lot of questions about it but with everything that's been going on. Sam felt exhausted; Tucker's betrayal, Vale's transformation, Danny with other girls. She didn't want to deal with any of this yet so she just stayed quiet the rest of the way home.
GHOST ZONE LOCATION UNKNOWN
Dan and Tuk exited the portal with their guest. Tossing him into the center of the conference room a shadowy figure approached.
"So nice to meet you Freakshow I understand you have great knowledge of ghost items so I was wondering of you could help us with this?"
The figure pointed to a giant stove. "The soul furnace!" exclaimed Freakshow.
Next Time…Causes Worth Fighting For
Danny begins to train Vale. Jazz tries to patch things up with Tucker. Sam wonders if she still has a place with them.
