Awe, I didn't get as many reviews as I had hoped. Oh well, that's fine. It was a strange chapter. I just hope I don't mess this story up. I've tried not to, but I'm not the best writer and I may. Well, keep trying, right? So, here is the long awaited update.
----------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ -----------------------------
"Mom! We have a little bit of an emergency back here," Jazz fanned her brother with her hand, thinking that it might help, although it didn't.
Sam was throwing random objects over her shoulder, obviously not finding what she was looking for.
Maddie looked behind her, and her eyes widened in shock, "Jack, Danny needs out help!" she didn't even wait for him to answer before she flung herself out of the seat and joined Sam at the cabinets.
"I can't find it!" Sam yelled, she gritted her teeth, "Where can it be?"
"You look for it, I'll spare us some time," Maddie ran to the back of the speeder and opened a closet. She pulled out a small ray gun and pointed it at Danny.
"Mom! What are you doing?" Jazz pulled her brother away from her mother aim, "Danny needs our help, not shot."
"I know that. This gun will freeze him, and hopefully stop him from dissolving, for a while." Maddie fired, hitting her target on the bulls eye. Danny screamed at impact, but soon stopped as a block of ice formed around his body. His entire body completely froze, and since he was a ghost, it didn't affect him much, except it stopped the dissolving.
"Sam, find the antidote, this will only stop it for about ten minutes," Maddie threw down the now empty gun and started to dig threw every nook and cranny that could hold something.
Jazz stared at her brother; now frozen in her arms, "It'll be okay, little bro. We'll figure this out." she laid him down on the seat and went to help the others.
Jack decided that the best way he could help in this situation was to get the speeder back up and running. He jumped out of the vehicle and ran up in front of it. He pulled up the lid and got to work.
Sam screamed in frustration, "Where could a stupid thing like that go?"
"Dad probably put it in here. We can never find where he puts anything," Jazz said, looking at her brother again. She knew he wasn't going to move, but she couldn't help but worry about him. Even if it was just his ghost half, so many things had happened to him. She just had to help him pull through all of this.
"I have to get back to my human half. We're both going to die if I don't. Vlad will win. I can't let him win. I won't let him win!" Danny did the only thing he could do, think. "I'm going to keep my promise. I'm going to keep helping this town. I won't let a villain win like this. It's not going to happen!"
A small twinge of pain shot through Danny's body, telling him he only had a limited amount of time, "There must be some way to contact my human half. Come on, think!" Danny focused everything on trying to contact his other half. If he wasn't frozen in a solid block of ice, he was sure he would be sweating from exhaustion. Finally, he could see a very blurred vision of Vlad. He has a small vial and had just attached it to a needle.
"Ah, now, time to run a few tests," Vlad grinned and walked up to Danny.
"No," Phantom knew Fenton had to get away, but he couldn't. He was like a little guinea pig to Vlad.
Vlad stuck the needle in Fenton's neck, causing his blue eyes to snap open.
"Now, you are going to obey everything I say, alright?" Vlad looked the boy squarely in the eye.
"No…I'll never…obey you," Fenton chocked a bit at his words, but got the out barely coherent. As soon as he objected a burn went through his body. It was almost like an oven, but the heat couldn't be turned off by the object it was meant to cook.
"You will do everything I say, and I will train you, understand?" Vlad narrowed his eyes a little.
Danny's eyes widened and he gasped at the pain that shot through his body. He couldn't answer him, he was just barely holding back screaming.
"Understand?" Vlad repeated himself.
"Don't do it, don't do it. No matter how much pain, don't do it," Phantom pleaded with his other half. If he gave in, things would not go well.
"I…won't… obey you!" Danny's voice melted into a scream as the pain increased.
"Yes, you will. Weather you want to…or not," Vlad frowned and stepped away from Fenton, leaving him to deal with his own pain.
"I found it!" Jazz's voice cut threw Phantom's concentration. He lost the picture of Vlad and it faded back into his own surrounding. Jazz held a small tube filled with small round pills in it.
"Give them to Danny!" Sam and Maddie cried, simultaneously.
"But he's in a block of ice. How am I ever going to give them to him?" Jazz's hands were shaking slightly. Her brother's life was in her hands.
"Here," Maddie threw her an ecto gun, "Shoot the ice with this. It'll crack and hopefully, Danny will be able to get out, but the dissolving process will restart."
Jazz nodded. She held the tube in her mouth while she grabbed the gun and shot the ice. A huge crack went through the middle of it. Jazz kicked it and the top half fell off. Danny's green eyes glowed and he stared up at her.
"It's all right Danny. Everything is okay," she saw the bubbling ectoplasm start up again, eating at the rest of his torso. She uncorked the tube and took out one of the pills, "Here eat this." She dropped the pill into his mouth and swallowed.
Minutes seemed like an eternity. Only the left half of her ghost brother still existed, and nothing was happening.
Danny groaned. A strange feeling had taken over his body, and it wasn't a nice feeling.
"Jazz, its working!" Sam ran up to the two siblings. Danny had stopped dissolving and they could see his right half. It was faded, but it looked as if it was returning.
"But I don't understand. How is that possible?" Jazz brought a finger to her chin as she watched her brother reappear before her eyes.
"Those pills were made to bring a ghost back to life…well, not exactly life, but you get the point. They're able to use whatever ectoplasm they touch to search and rehabilitate that same type of ectoplasm, no matter what happened to it. In this case, Danny ate it, causing it to know what type of ectoplasm he has and bring him back," Maddie kneeled down next to the three.
"We have…to find…Fenton," Danny's voice was more ragged than before, but he sounded determined.
"Honey, we-" Maddie was cut off as all the lights in the speeder flashed back to life. The engine started to whir again and the scanner showed Danny's outline again.
"Jack!" Maddie jumped up and hugged her husband, who had returned to the speeder covered in black smudges, "You fixed the speeder."
"Yep. When my family's in danger, I stop at nothing to get them back," Jack beamed and hugged his wife back.
Suddenly, they heard a frustrated pain filled scream come from within the house. Someone was in trouble. Someone they all knew.
