I took a sentence out in chapter 7. Nothing big, you don't have to reread, but it makes more sense when you look at the GIW files now.

Chapter 10: Bittersweet Victory

How are you going to get us out of here, Danny?

Phantom sighed. I have no idea. Maybe I can weaken the shield.

How? Dani asked.

I remember little cracks appearing in the shield earlier when I used my ghostly wail. That was before I got this weird power boost, so maybe I can break the shield without making too much noise and bringing the GiW back.
I wish I could help, I love destroying things!

Phantom looked around his little shielded in area. The cracks really were small, but he could find them easily. Spotting the weakest patch, Phanto drew out some of his Ecto-energy, forming a small blast. This blast was different from his normal ghost rays though. He had used more power than normal, causing the ray to be forcibly condensed. Phantom let it loose, enjoying the thrill he felt when the cracks became more pronounced.

He could almost feel Dani grinning. Nice one. Might take a while to get all the way through, but at least we know it's possible.

Yup. And I can test my new limitations. He threw another few blasts at the shield before planning a different attack.

This time he created what he liked to call a snow bomb. It was a small Ecto blast encased in snow that exploded on impact. Chucking it at the shield, he quickly formed his own shield, avoiding the ice that formed as an after effect of the bomb.

That's neat.

The bomb?

Well, yeah, that too, Dani conceded, but mainly the ice thing. I can't form ice or anything yet.

Oh. Yeah, it's a pretty cool power. Danny replied.

Hahaha. Very funny.

Trying something new, Phantom reversed his bomb. The snow was now encased in an Ecto blast. The explosion was huge, seeming to shake the whole lab. Suddenly he gasped, mist curling out of his mouth.

"I thought you were supposed to be paralyzed!"

"Hey Dora, Wulf."

"Hello, Lady Manson, Sir Tucker, Lady... I'm sorry, I didn't get your name!" Dora said, looking at Jazz apologetically.
"Oh, I'm Jazz. Danny's sister."

"Well, it is wonderful to meet you!"

"Saluton, amiko fratino." Wulf growled.

Jazz looked at Tucker, wide-eyed. What did he say? She mouthed.

He chuckled. "He was just saying hello, Jazz."

"Oh. Um, hello," she stammered.

Wulf nodded his head, then turned to Tucker, giving him a huge lick.

"So, we were wondering if you guys could help us out," Sam said. "We figured out the general area Danny is in, but Wulf, we need your help to track him down, and Dora, we were wondering if you and your knights could help us with invisibility and intangibility."

"Of course!"

"Ja!"

"Alright. Let's go!"

"S-Sam?!"

Sam's here? Dani asked.

"Of course, Danny, who else? The Ghostly Intervention Workers?" She laughed as her and Dora became visible

Danny stared at her blankly. "Who?"

The next to appear was Jazz. "You mean you don't know who caught you? I'm ashamed, little brother," she said, shaking her head mockingly.

"Jazz! It's great to see you two! I'd give you a hug, but, well," he shrugged, looking at the shield. "I kinda like my hair the way it is."

"What am I, chopped liver?"

Yeah really. Just ignoring me, huh?

Yup. Pretty much.

"Tucker? Where are you? Wait! What are all of you guys doing here?"

"In order? Yes, by the computer, and saving you. Just wait a minute, I have to-"

"I told you! We should have gone for pizza or even Nasty Burgers!"

Danny paled. "Dora! Go invisible! You too!" He hissed, pointing at the visible knights. They were silent, eyes wide, as they obeyed.

"Yeah, yeah, fine. Next time we go out and don't eat what the Fenton's cook. At least the ghost should like it."
Danny- no! Phantom!- watched the stairs, staring warily at the GIW, the Ghostly Intervention Workers.

"Hello, ghost. Seems the paralysis has worn off. That's unfortunate."

"For you," Phantom muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

Russell eyed him. "Uh huh. And ghosts don't exist. But!" And at this he pressed a button, "It doesn't matter. We have this handy little machine here that can just replay what you said!"

As the little "For you," replayed, the two men began laughing.

"What're you going to do? Stare us do-"

"Tony."

He looked up at the suddenly grim voice. "What?"

"Are these readings right?"

"What readings? Those? Of course they're- wait. That isn't possible! It should be an ectoplasm stain on the ground!"

"But it's not."

"What's up boys?" Phantom craned his neck, attempting to see the screen in front of the two 'boys.'

"Ghost!" Tony whirled around, confusion and fury dancing in his eyes. "What did you do? How?"

"Do what?" Phantom asked, bewildered. "I didn't do anything!"

"Stop trying to hide it," the man snarled, "you must have had something in there with you, you can't have just up and increased your ectoplasmic level so much by just SITTING there!"

"Tony, it's still growing..."

Phantom growled in exasperation. "What is still growing?"

"Your ectoplasmic level." Russell said dazedly.

"Really? That's useful."

What are you going to do?

You'll see.

"Get out," Phantom whispered, just loud enough for the other ghosts in the room to hear. As soon as he felt them leave, he curled into a ball, pulling tons of Ecto energy to the surface and solidifying it and turning it into a shield. Phantom expanded it, the surface pressing against the other barrier. He grinned as he heard the creaking.

"Next time, don't assume the paralyzed guy can't fight back." With one last push, both shields shattered, freeing Danny.

"Yes! He did it! He's out!" Sam cheered, turning to hug a surprised Jazz.

As soon as the ghosts had heard Danny's fierce whisper, they had scattered. All of them had been on the receiving end of his attacks at least once, and they could tell he had something huge planned. Sam, Jazz, and Tucker had protested of course, but they stopped at the small explosion under the Fenton's yard. For one heart-stopping moment, they were certain that Danny had been killed. But then they had seen him flying up out of the ground, two unconcious Ghostly Intervention Workers hanging from his hands, a triumphant grin on his face.

Danny had just enough time to say, "Missed you guys!" before all three humans threw themselves at him.

"Come on. We have some stuff to show you." Sam said, pulling Danny along. "My place!"

Jazz declined Sam's offer. She had some stuff to take care of - some of which included de-hot dogging her bedroom.

Reluctantly agreeing, Danny followed his friends to Sam's house

"Bittersweet victory then." Tucker frowned, unable to decipher his best friend's expression as he sat captivated by pictures of his clone.

"Not completely. We all got out alive, at least."

Now Sam was frowning in confusion. "But Danny, what about Danielle? The notes say she... Destabilized..."

Danny nodded. "She did. But, uh, she's still alive. Kind of. I think. She is being pretty quiet."

"Are you sure you don't need anything to eat? Or some sleep? Because you're making no sense."

"I know. That's becau-" Danny groaned, doubling over. "Ugh! There aren't any blood blossoms in here?"
"Why would there be? Danny, what's wrong?" Tucker asked quickly, him and Sam rushing to the half ghost's side.

"I... Ugh... Felt something like this earlier... Before... Dani was... Destabilized." Suddenly the pain stopped, to be replaced with a more subtle reaction. "Hey! It's gone!"

Danny... I don't think so... I remember that feeling. Do you remember what that one guy said? "It should be an ectoplasm stain on the floor."

Danny's eyes widened. "No," he whispered in fear.

Tucker and Sam watched on in terrified awe as Danny disintegrated before their eyes, but the puddle remaining of Danny didn't simply dissolve into the ground. They watched as it - he - separated into two puddles, one smaller than the other. They watched as four identical glowing green eyes appeared. They could only watch.

What do you all think happened? So sorry for not updating earlier, but I kinda had a self-induced writer's block. I didn't want to end this! Yes, I didn't close all ends, like what happened to Skulker, the sudden power boost, and maybe another, can't remember. That is on purpose! I am hoping to do a sequel, but you all have to vote if you want it to happen. There is a poll on my profile, and summaries of the choices are also on my profile, NOT IN THE POLL. Yes, I will eventually be going through all of these chapters for editing and detailing, but not for a bit. Thank you, every single one of you amazing reviewers, followers, and favorite-ers!
