Now, I know that most of you have been telling me that I'm making Danny's parents seem a little too clueless about Danny's transformation power. Just remember that I've made them both seem a lot dumber in previous stories, especially Jack. With every new story I make I try to keep all characters in character as best as I can while also keeping the plot intact.

Other than that, I like how this story is going so far, though unfortunately I can picture it being really long. Why unfortunately? Well, you're not the one who has to write it. Not that I hate writing it ^^;

So anyways, enjoyed Chapter 8 of Wrong Turns! ^^

Danny looked at Vlad in pure anger; he wanted to know so bad why he was here but at the same time wanted to make sure that no harm was to come to his parents. He had to get out of there, but he knew how skilled his mother was in tracking down and fighting ghosts. Then again, Danny had no choice. He didn't want to fight his parents, he wanted to fight Vlad.

"Funny Daniel, I'd expect you to put up more of a fight."

"I would, I just don't want harm to come to them." Danny implied while covering himself in an ecto shield to protect from the blasts.

Vlad smirked and continued to fire blasts at Danny to weaken him but just enough so he wouldn't transform back into his human half, meanwhile Vlad had duplicated himself to look through the lab which made Danny grow very suspicious. Since Danny was caught off guard, he was blasted to the wall.

This loud thud was heard from upstairs and caused Jazz to stop talking to her friend on the phone and see what was going on. She rushed down the stairs and into the kitchen where she could hear ghost weapons being fired, and since Jazz knew that Danny never went back upstairs, she knew that Danny must have either been down there or outside with his friends.

She walked downstairs and saw Danny in his ghost half, her parents and a ghost that looked somehow familiar. But she wasn't thinking about that after she saw Danny almost being sucked up by the Fenton weasel. She gasped and knew that she had to help somehow, with quick thinking she noticed that the other ghost was attacking Danny along with a duplicate of him looking at the lab equipment and through the drawers. She realised that her parents didn't realise that the other ghost was helping her parents fight Danny but at the same time was attempting to steal lab equipment, but altogether he was a ghost. Jazz wondered why they weren't attacking him as well.

"Mum, Dad! There's another ghost behind you!" Jazz cried trying to get her parents attention as she pointed to the ghost's duplicate.

Jack quickly looked behind and saw the same ghost that was helping him get rid of Danny rummaging through his lab equipment, it took a moment for him to realise that he was helping the ghost get to his lab equipment. So he focused his weapon at the duplicate and began to fire.

Vlad turned and saw that his duplicate was being attacked; he knew he could take some damage from them, but he really wanted more ideas to steal from Jack. Maddie saw what Jack was doing; she knew that now she had to fire at both ghosts because she was the better shot after all.

"Hey you, you're the Wisconsin ghost!" Jack shouted as he fired a few more shots at Vlad and his duplicate.

Vlad avoided Jack's attacks in silence while duplicating him again so now he had two duplicates of himself to help him find more ideas to steal from Jack while also making sure that Jack and Maddie don't stop him.

"Yes, I am that Wisconsin ghost. And I'm back for revenge."

Danny sighed in relief before attempting to leave, unfortunately as he was flying towards the exit he felt a strong pull of gravity making him unable to go further. He saw that Vlad had the Fenton thermos in his hand and was sucking Danny up, Danny tried with all the strength he had to get out of it but he was unable. He knew all too well that if it was able to suck up all his enemies, it would be able to suck him up as well.

He screamed in pain as he felt his body shrink dramatically inside as it began to be confined within the thermos. Whatever Vlad was up to, Danny sure knew that he was a part of it.

Vlad grinned as the rest of Danny was sucked into the thermos. It wasn't the initial plan, but it would resolve the situation here. So, Vlad made his duplicates fuse back into one and began to fly off, but Maddie and Jack were determined to capture the ghost boy for themselves, not for another ghost. And Jazz knew that the ghost had captured her little brother, so she just had to do something before she lost sight of that other ghost.

But Jazz didn't know what exactly to do; she couldn't see a thermos in sight, so she quickly grabbed the nearest weapon which was the Fenton weasel that Maddie had earlier and turned the suction power to maximum and then tried with all her strength to suck the ghost with the Fenton thermos containing Danny into the Fenton weasel.

Vlad felt the pull of the Fenton weasel, and it felt very powerful. But Vlad knew that if he was captured he would be considered an idiot being captured by the daughter of an idiot. He grunted as he tried his best to escape the suction of the Fenton weasel, but the power was too strong for him to take over. So then he was sucked into the Fenton weasel and was crammed in a tiny confined space.

"Oh sugar cookies!" Vlad cried as he felt his body almost being crushed by the confined space that was even too small to carry Danny but somehow it managed.

Jazz smiled with pride, she stopped the evil ghost in success. Her parents looked very proud of what she did. But then, the Fenton weasel's interior began to expand in size due to Vlad's larger size. Everyone panicked and didn't know what to do. Eventually the Fenton weasel burst and Vlad almost fell to the ground but maintained his balance in the air, with a grin he was once again about to leave before Jack used to the fishing rod that catches ghosts to hook the thermos successfully and made him not get away with it. It wasn't exactly what Jack was aiming for, but it was better than nothing. He was glad that he got his thermos back, and was so glad that he didn't realise that Vlad had flown off.

Maddie almost growled in anger and disappointment that Jack was unable to catch a ghost once again, but then gasped in sudden realisation that the other ghost had managed to catch Danny Phantom in the thermos. While Jack was looking around for where the other ghost went, Maddie grabbed the thermos off him and smiled with pride.

"Jack, we've got the ghost boy!" Maddie announced with pride.

Jazz bit her lower lip in nervousness; she didn't know what they would do with him. She wanted to save Danny from her parents but she didn't know how.

"We do?" Jack asked sounding clueless. "I mean, right! We've finally got him!"

Jazz darted her eyes back and forth and then thought of something that will make them leave the room.

"Um, mum dad! That other ghost is upstairs in the kitchen!" She cried.

Maddie and Jack reacted quickly with the thermos still in hand. The both grabbed their ghost weapons and ran upstairs. Jazz would've hoped that they would have put the thermos down but Maddie had tucked it away in her belt. Jazz almost face palmed when she saw that her mum had placed it there. So as her parents ran quickly upstairs, Jazz followed to get the thermos to save Danny's identity.

"Where is he?!" Jack demanded looking around the kitchen and blasting several walls.

Jazz snuck behind them, she quickly and quietly made her way to her mother and saw where the thermos was placed. She reached out to grab it but then Maddie moved a little to look at the ceiling. Jazz quickly tried again and was successful this time; unfortunately she wasn't successful at hiding herself after that.

"Yes!" She said to herself with glee.

This caused both Maddie and Jack to turn around and see their daughter holding the thermos that was once tucked away in Maddie's belt. They gasped and immediately assumed that the Wisconsin ghost had taken over their daughter. So they raised their weapons at her and were about to fire, when words of plea came from Jazz.

"Mum, Dad, please. It's your daughter Jazz!" She cried before quickly finding another place to let Danny go.

"Say something only my daughter would know!" Maddie demanded.

Jazz held a finger against her chin in thought before replying. "Dad's favourite food is fudge, Sam and Tucker are Danny's best friends, Maddie is better at ghost fighting and Dad has never caught a ghost. Is that enough proof?" Jazz asked almost in sarcasm.

"Hey…" Jack said looking upset about when she said that he had never caught a ghost.

"Now sweetie we all know that- oh, so you're not overshadowed?" Maddie asked in concern and wonder if her daughter was actually overshadowed by the Wisconsin ghost.

"Of course not." Jazz replied with a smile.

"So, then why are you holding the thermos containing the ghost boy?" Maddie asked in suspicion.

Jazz darted her eyes back and forth in nervousness and then knew that she had to leave now otherwise she would be in trouble.

"I'll be right back." She said before quickly leaving the room.

Jazz ran back downstairs into the lab and let Danny out of the thermos.

She smiled at him and hugged Danny in rejoice.

"Oh Danny, I'm glad that you're safe!" She said without realising that she was hugging the wrong Danny.

Danny looked at her sister in confusion and suspicion, did she know? He thought. He wanted to embrace the hug but just in case, he kept his confused face intact.

"Um, which Danny are you referring to? The Fenton kid or me?" He asked.

Jazz then realised which Danny was talking to. "Oh, sorry!" She said letting go of Danny and blushing. "You just remind me of my brother so much."

And as clueless as Danny was, he bought what Jazz said and prepared to leave, only to be targeted at by his parents once again.

"Jasmine, what's going on!?" Maddie demanded clearly not knowing what Jazz was doing.

"You must have been overshadowed by that Wisconsin ghost!" Jack implied.

"No! That other ghost was trying to capture him not free him." Jazz explained.

Danny wanted to flee but if he moved one inch he would get blasted at, he was just glad that there was only one thermos in the room at the moment otherwise he would be done for.

Jack and Maddie looked at each other in confusion, and then they looked back at their daughter again.

"Then, why did you free him?"

Jazz was stuck in a bad situation. She had to come up with an excuse fast. Thankfully, her intelligent brain thought of an excuse really quick before anything else could happen.

"This ghost is not a threat to us, this ghost is a hero." She stated while pointing towards Danny.

Danny looked wide-eyed at his older sister. How did she know that? He thought in confusion and astonishment. He didn't think Jazz knew what he was doing, but somehow it seemed like she did. He didn't expect her to say bad things about him because he did save her a few times from ghosts, but he wasn't expecting her to say that he was a hero.

Jack almost spat in disgust of his own daughter saying that about a ghost. He looked up at the floating ghost boy to the left of Jazz, his expression became more angered as he loaded his weapon and prepared to fire.

"You! You've overshadowed my daughter haven't you!?"

Maddie took this as a signal to proceed fighting at the ghost boy.

"No! I would never do that to her, or any of you!" Danny cried, implying that he would never hurt them.

"Why should we believe you!?"

Man, I done a lot about Jazz in that chapter, I wonder if she'll be a big help in the major plot point that's' coming up? Well, you'll have to find out next week then! ^^ Hope you enjoyed the chapter! :D
