CLAW OF THE WILD (THE WILDEST GHOST STORY EVER!)
"Summer camp! How great is this? We can go hiking, canoeing and exploring" Sam said feeling really excited. She then saw Danny's unenthusiastic face and said, "I can't believe the only ones out of us excited about this is me, Dayla and Andrew"
"Oh I'm really excited" Danny said sarcastically. "Now instead of spending five days a week with these losers, I get to spend two whole months with them"
They were all sitting on the school bus with their other classmates, heading for Lake Eerie for Casper High's annual summer camp and although Sam, Dayla and Andrew were really excited about going on camp, Danny and Tucker were not so excited at all.
"Come on bro this should be fun" Dayla said. "Are you telling me that camping isn't fun?"
"Considering the last time we went camping, you and I almost got eaten by a bunch of monstrous ghost animals, no not really" Danny said.
"Well I for one think that camping is fun. I haven't been camping with my mum since we moved from New York" Andrew said. "We used to go camping every summer"
"Finally someone who agrees with me. I can't wait to show you guys the wonders nature has to offer" Sam said.
"Does it offer a movie theatre or a video arcade?" Danny asked still not feeling excited. Tucker smiled and said, "Don't worry Danny. You bring the anti-venom serum and I'll bring the arcade"
He then pulled out of his bag a video game and handed it to Danny who perked up and said, "Rain Forest Demolition 2? Sweet! Who wants to help me build the virtual Fenton Acres?"
Sam sighed and said, "I'll stick the real thing thanks"
Sam looked down at the brochure of Camp Skull and Crossbones. Although it seemed like a real good place for camp, when she put down the brochure her eyes widened at the sight of the approaching camp sight. Danny, Dayla, Andrew and Tucker all looked too and all were speechless at what they saw. The camp was run down and definitely needed a serious upgrade, it wasn't sunny at all but really cloudy.
"Good choice" Tucker said sarcastically.
The bus pulled up in front of the mess hall and they all got out with their bags then the bus left, they all saw the mess hall and the cabins, the wood was old and some pieces kept falling down. They all then saw the sign behind them that said Camp Skull and Crossbones on beautiful Lake Eerie.
"Well the brochure may be outdated, but at least that sign is accurate" Dayla said.
"This place is kind of creepy. Why is it that some places aren't what they say in the brochure?" Andrew asked.
"It's definitely creepy with two e's. In fact this place may qualify for three" Tucker said.
"Oh come on guys! There's nothing scary about this place" Sam scoffed.
Her eyes then widened at the sound of a voice, "Hello pioneers!"
She turned around and they all gasped at the sight of Mr Lancer wearing a pair of shorts with a Hawaiian shirt and casual shoes and standing beside him was Ms Tetslaff their P.E teacher. All the students gasped in fright.
"Mr Lancer? Ms Tetslaff? What are you doing here?" Danny asked.
"Please just say passing through. Please just say passing through" The other students muttered under their breath hopefully.
"Children relax! For the next eight weeks, we're not your teachers" Mr Lancer said with a smile.
All of them let out sighs of relief, but then their hopes were tarnished when Ms Tetslaff said, "Better. We're your councillors"
All of them gasped again and then Ms Tetslaff continued with a smug look, "So our hold of you no longer stops at three o'clock in the afternoon, it lasts the entire live long day"
"Uh can you tell us where the bathrooms are?" Mikey asked.
"There aren't any" Ms Tetslaff answered which made everyone gasp again.
"CALL OF THE WILD!" Mr Lancer exclaimed completely shocked at the thought of there being no bathrooms at all.
"Suck it up Lancer! You're in the wilderness. All the worlds your bathroom" Ms Tetslaff said and then handed Lester a roll of toilet paper.
Both he and Mikey then walked behind a bunch of bushes to 'go to the bathroom'. Kwan then had a worried look on his face and said, "I heard this camp is haunted"
"Me too. They say there's a monster in the woods of Lake Eerie" Dash agreed. Paulina then added, "And two in the lake"
Everyone except for Danny, Dayla, Sam, Tucker and Andrew started chatting amongst themselves about the so called monsters. Danny shook his head and said, "Just what we need. Armature ghost stories"
"Pipe down campers! This camp is definitely not haunted" Ms Tetslaff assured them.
Suddenly they heard Mikey scream. He came out running from the bushes with a look of terror on his face as he screamed, "THERE'S A GHOST MONSTER IN THE WOODS AND IT TOOK LESTER!"
Everyone gasped in fright and now all looked frightened with one question on their minds: What happened to Lester?
Mikey continued to shake with fear. Ms Tetslaff then said, "Calm down soldier! There are no monsters at this camp!"
"Tell that to the beast that just ate Lester!" Mikey retorted.
"We should check out the woods" Dayla suggested. "And try to find Lester"
"Negative" Ms Tetslaff said. "This camp is now under lockdown. Everyone report to their cabins while Mr Lancer and I go and search for Lester's remains"
Saying those words made both Mikey and Mr Lancer scream in fright. Sam then said with a hopeful smile, "its okay. We'll find Lester. Lancer and Tetslaff won't ruin the whole camp, we can still have fun"
However her eye twitched unsurely. Later that night, Sam was sitting on the bed with Dayla as she tried to read a book but it was hard since their roommates Paulina and Star were busy chatting away about boys and doing their hair and makeup.
"Still think this can still be fun Sam?" Dayla asked in a board tone.
"So he was like 'no way!' and I was all 'yes way!'" Paulina said.
"No way" Star said.
"We're doomed" Sam sighed.
Suddenly a green glow appeared at the window. Star started to panic as she asked Paulina, "Did you see that green glow?"
"It must be swamp gas" Paulina suggested though was starting to freak out a little as well. Star then said, "The monster in the woods must've gotten it from eating Lester!"
Sam and Dayla then heard a voice say, "Psst!"
They both looked out the window to see it was Danny in his ghost form along with Tucker and Andrew and the green glow was just his hand. He then asked, "You girls want to come out and play?"
"What do you guys think? But are we prepared to go into the woods?" Sam asked.
Tucker then pulled out the thermos while Danny pulled out three pairs of his dad's latest invention, Fenton Wrist Rays as he said, "Thermos and prototype Fenton Wrist Rays. Courtesy of our unsuspecting dad"
"Most kids worry about packing enough underwear for camp, but then there's us" Andrew said.
Danny and Dayla smiled. A few minutes late, Danny and Dayla were leading the way through the dark woods in their ghost forms, using their green energy to light the way as they walked past trees, bushes and tall grass. Sam, Tucker and Andrew had just placed on the Wrist Rays on their wrists all ready in case of any attacks.
"Look at you Tucker. Out in the woods at night" Sam said with a smile. "I'm impressed"
Tucker remembered about how back in the cabin Dash and Kwan were using his, Danny's and Andrew's head to play with a hacky sack. He shrugged and said, "It was worse than the cabin. Trust me"
Dayla then looked ahead and saw some large claw footprints in the ground and called out, "Guys footprints!"
Danny and Dayla kneeled down and inspected the footprints. Tucker then suggested, "No big deal. Those could belong to a friendly little woodland creature"
Suddenly they heard a growl coming from the bushes and they all gasped in fright. Tucker then suggested hopefully, "A fluffy bunny forging for a carrot for example"
Danny and Dayla's ghost senses then went off confirming that it was a ghost. Tucker then said with a gulp, "A carrot with ghost powers"
"Just relax Tucker. Remember there's nothing to fear but…" Andrew began to say when suddenly a huge lizard-fish like ghost monster jumped out of the bushes and roared at them.
"You were saying?!" Tucker screamed becoming really scared.
Danny and Dayla fired a combined ecto blast but it didn't affect the creature and it first swatted Danny away with its claws and then Dayla with its tail. It then turned around and started charging straight for Sam, Tucker and Andrew.
"How do you use these things?!" Sam asked panicking as she pushed some buttons on her wrist ray.
All three of them then aimed at the creature and fired three individual blasts straight at it, which hit the monster dead on and blasted it straight into the ground. The three of them smiled and shouted in victory, "YES!"
But suddenly the monster got back and started charging for them again. They all then shouted and their smiles dropped, "NO!"
They all screamed and started running from the angry monster until they came to a ledge of a cliff. The monster leapt right at them and Danny and Dayla screamed, "NO!"
All four of them including the monster fell over the edge. Danny and Dayla shouted, "Guys!"
They flew over and to their relief, Sam, Tucker and Andrew were okay as they were hanging off a branch that was surprisingly strong enough to hold all three of them. Tucker then said, "The sad part is, this is still better than being in the cabin"
Danny grabbed Sam and Tucker while Dayla grabbed Andrew and pulled them off the branch and back onto the ground. They all then watched as the creature climbed back over the ledge and started slowly coming towards them, growling in anger.
"Here kitty thing…Wanna play fetch?" Danny asked.
"Uh Danny that trick is for dogs" Andrew said.
"Not when I'm doing the fetching!" Danny said as he blasted the creature back with a surprise ecto blast.
Dayla then pulled out the thermos and sucked the monster inside before it could recover, she then capped the thermos and Sam said with a smile, "Thanks for the save guys"
"So we got the monster but not Lester" Sam finished her smile dropped.
"I'm sure the monster didn't eat him" Danny said. "You guys go back to camp and try to get some sleep. Dayla and I will keep lookout"
All three of them nodded and then headed back to camp while Danny and Dayla took the sky and started patrolling the woods. All of them were unaware that a ghost that was hiding in the bushes was watching them.
He pulled out a communicator as he came out of the bushes and said in it, "No sign of the subject, but you won't believe who is here"
Morning had come and it was time for breakfast in the mess hall. Tucker, Sam and Andrew were in line with their trays. Tucker then said, "Ah breakfast! The most…"
He stopped smiling as soon as he watched Tetslaff put a huge scoop of a very lumpy oatmeal in his bowl. He looked at it in disgust and finished, "Disgusting meal of the day"
"It grey and lumpy just like my grandpa" A nerd said as he sat down.
Sam and Andrew grabbed their oatmeal and sat down at a table with Tucker. Sam then asked, "What time did Dayla and Danny get back?"
"Just now" Danny said as he and Dayla came inside looking tired in their human forms. "When it went from black to grey, we figured it was morning"
Dayla then pulled out Lester's camera that they found during their search in the night. Andrew asked, "You found Lester's camera?"
"Yeah but not Lester. Hopefully he found shelter in a cave" Dayla said. "At least the monster is gone"
They all then heard Dash scream as he came running inside, "ARGHHHHHH! THE MONSTER ATE KWAN!"
"Dash that's impossible!" Danny said. "Look he probably wondered off to use the bathroom"
"Nuh uh! You don't know Kwan's amazing bladder!" Dash said. "He can hold it for…."
"Uh can you please don't finish that sentence until I'm safely out of the building" Sam cut him off with a look of disgust and then walked out of the room.
"Please don't finish that sentence at all dude" Tucker said.
Sam walked around the campsite and then stopped to see Mr Lancer in a bear costume talking with Ms Tetslaff. He didn't look happy as he said, "I did not spend a year at the gym getting a sculpted physic, so I can hide it in a bear suit"
"That's Scruffy the camp mascot costume" Ms Tetslaff said. "You'll wear it to keep the kids happy and take their minds of the disappearances. I'll handle the tough stuff like killing the monster in the woods, unless you want to do it"
Mr Lancer shook his head and put the head of the costume on and then exclaimed, "Hello campers!"
He was about to head off to do his job when they all heard, "ARGHHHHHHHHHH!"
Everyone ran out of the mess hall to see Paulina running out of the woods. She then cried, "The monster got Star! We went out to get some sun and I found her sun tan lotion next to a giant claw footprint!"
She then started crying and all of the students except for Tucker, Sam, Danny, Dayla and Andrew started panicking and freaking out. The five teenagers all had shocked looks on their faces.
Ms Tetslaff placed a comforting hand on Paulina's shoulder and said, "Buck up camper! We'll find her"
"We have to! She's my best friend and without her sunblock, she's in terrible danger! She burns so easily!" Paulina cried.
"Clan of the Cave Bear! Everyone calm down!" Mr Lancer said taking off the costume.
"Here's what we're gonna do" Ms Tetslaff announced. "We'll divide into two groups. Mr Lancer's team will stay at camp and do nice normal camp activities like crafts and canoeing. My team's going to go on a nice normal hike"
"That doubles as a nice normal search and rescue effort" Dayla said.
Ms Tetslaff picked up a stick and then drew a line between Mr Lancer, Danny, Andrew, Tucker and some of the other classmates leaving Sam and Dayla on the other side with Ms Tetslaff and the rest of the students.
"Sam, Dayla quick! Jump over to our side" Danny said.
They were about to do it but Ms Tetslaff stopped them and said, "Get a move on Miss Manson and Miss Fenton"
"Don't worry guys. We'll look for Lester, Star and Kwan" Sam said and then left with Ms Tetslaff and the others.
"Wait you might need the…" Danny began to call out but it was too late. They had already gone and so he finished, "Thermos"
"Maybe its better we have it" Tucker said. "Who knows what kind of dangers lurk right here in camp right?"
A few minutes later, they were doing canoeing. Tucker sat looking really board in the canoe while Danny and Andrew rowed the boat in the middle of the lake.
"Yay! Let's hear it for danger" Tucker said sarcastically.
Suddenly they were all starting to be covered in fog. Danny smiled and said, "Actually this is perfect. You guys stay here while I check out the woods"
Danny then changed into his ghost form and flew off into the woods. Andrew and Tucker then noticed that Danny had left behind the thermos in their canoe. Andrew was about to call out for him to stop, but it was too late and he had already gone.
"Ah well" Tucker shrugged and then pulled out his small computer game console and started playing a video game.
"Do you think we should go after him Tuck?" Andrew asked. Tucker shook his head and said, "Nah. Besides what's the worst that could happen?
Meanwhile Ms Tetslaff group just watched Ms Tetslaff herself release a poor squirrel after squeezing the poor creature's neck. She grinned and said, "And that's how you would disable a grizzly squirrel using nothing but your bare hands"
The group then followed her further into the woods while Dayla and Sam stayed behind. Sam scoffed, "Oh brother!"
"That squirrel didn't even attack us" Dayla said looking at the creature with sympathy.
They both suddenly heard movement coming from a bush behind them, Sam picked up a long stick and Dayla stood her ground ready in case it was another ghost monster. They both crept up slowly towards the bush and then Sam pulled the leaves back, but there was nothing there. So they turned back around but only to suddenly yelp in fright as they found themselves face to face in front of a giant purple furred monster with black horns on top of its head. Dayla changed into her ghost form as Sam tried to hit it with her stick, but the monster grabbed the stick and pulled it out of her hands and then crushed it with its mighty claw.
It then sent a blast straight at Sam with its eyes, Dayla quickly stood in front of her and shielded them both within a dome made of her energy. Dayla dropped the dome and was about to blast it when it swiped at her and knocked her into a tree, Sam gasped and ran over to her to make sure she was okay. Dayla groaned as she sat up but then they both gasped at the sight of the monster about to attack them again, but suddenly a blast knocked it out of the way.
They looked to the side and smiled in relief to see it was Danny floating behind them. Danny then said, "Sticks are so last century. It's all about the ghost rays now"
The monster growled and stood back up, it then sent another blast from its eyes and hit Danny dead on and knocked him back. Danny got back up and charged right at the monster, Dayla stood up and joined Danny in on the fight. Dayla distracted it by making it fire its beams at her and then Danny grabbed the creature by its horns and flipped it over his shoulders sending him straight to the ground.
Danny then dusted his hands and Dayla then said, "Okay now suck it up in the thermos"
He reached to grab it, but his eyes widened and that's when he remembered that he didn't bring the thermos with him. Dayla groaned and asked, "You didn't bring the thermos did you?"
Danny smiled nervously and said, "I kind of left it with Tucker and Andrew"
They all then gasped when they heard the creature roar, they all looked to see it charging straight towards them and then slammed his fists right at them. All three of them dodged out of the way and then Danny jumped into the air and fired an ice beam straight at it, its eyes widened and it raised its arm to defend itself but the beam hit it dead on and froze it solid in a thick case of ice.
"Come on. We better warn Tetslaff of the Jungle about the Monster" Danny said.
Meanwhile Ms Tetslaff had just finished tangling with a snake, the snake hissed in pain and then slithered off with its tail knotted in three different places. She then turned back to the group and said, "And that's how you survive after a python swallows you"
They all suddenly heard movement in the bushes and gasped in fright. Ms Tetslaff however put on a brave face and shouted, "Remember what I said about aiming for the eyes!"
She then released a battle cry and charged into the bushes to fight whatever threatened her students. Dash and the others all then watched fearfully as a ghost flew out of the bushes. Dash then screamed, "RUN!"
All of them turned around and were about to run away when suddenly they found themselves blocked by several more ghosts. Ms Tetslaff heard the screams of the students, but when she turned around she saw that they were no longer there and then she screamed as from out of the bushes in front of her three ghosts came out grinning. They came out of the shadows and revealed to be some of Walker's police ghosts.
Danny, Dayla (In their human forms) and Sam walked back to the camp site only to find it completely empty.
"Hello?! Ms Tetslaff?" Sam called out.
"Anyone else?" Dayla then called out.
Danny and Dayla both then gasped, "Tucker! / Andrew!"
All three of them ran back to the lake and were shocked to see that everyone was gone including Tucker and Andrew. All the canoes were flipped over either in the water or on the beach.
"Tucker! / Andrew!" All three of them called as they searched across the lake.
Danny picked up the broken video game console from the ground and he instantly recognised it as Tuckers. He then said, "Tucker and Andrew are gone! And so is the thermos"
"We caught the first monster and Danny you put the second one on ice" Sam said. "Just how many more are there?"
They all then heard noises coming from a bush. Dayla then said frowning, "At least one!"
Danny and Dayla changed into their ghost forms and then Dayla threw a disc of ecto energy straight at the bush. They heard a roar and the creature came out, Danny and Dayla charged at it but then stopped in mid-air recognising the ghost before them.
They both fell to the ground in shock and then all three of them asked, "Wulf?"
Standing before them was indeed their friend Wulf. They all remembered when they first met him during when Walker attacked Amity Park and framed them for attacking Mayor Montez. Wulf had stopped Walker from hurting Dayla and had saved them both and took Walker back to the Ghost Zone. It had been a long time since they had seen their friend. Danny and Dayla changed back into their human forms and had noticed that his hands were badly damaged and he also had other injuries on his arms as well.
A few minutes later they went back to the camp and took Wulf to the first aid cabin. Sam then mashed up a bunch of berried and mixed them together and started placing some on his arms and then bandaged them up. She then made some more and started rubbing them on his paws.
"Sam what is that?" Dayla asked.
"A mixture of berries that are known to speed healing" Sam answered as she continued to rub the berry mix on his paws. "I told you guy's nature was full of wonder"
"Estas bone vidi vin denove miajn amikojn" Wulf said.
"It's nice to see you again too Wulf" Dayla said. Danny then said, "Same here Wulf"
Sam looked at them strangely. Danny then said, "What? We had Tucker teach us a little Esperanto. Just for moments like this"
"Uh huh. I can't believe Wulf escaped from Walker's ghost jail again and this time he did some real damage" Sam said gesturing to his paws.
"I guess tearing a hole between dimensions can take a lot out of you" Danny said.
Sam's eyes then widened and she said, "Guys the hole Wulf tore through must still be opened. I bet all these monsters are coming from the Ghost Zone"
"Of course! They're crawling out of his portal like cockroaches through a sewage drain" Dayla said catching on. Danny then said, "Wulf can lead us to it and we'll close it up tonight"
They all then watched as Wulf got off the table and walked to a corner, he then spun around three times and then laid down and fell fast asleep.
"I think we're gonna have to wait" Dayla said with a slight giggle. "But that's okay. After what Wulf's been through, he deserves a rest. Besides we still need to find Tucker, Andrew and the other campers"
She then looked down. Danny placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and said, "We'll find Andrew and the others. I promise"
She gave him a gentle smile and said, "I know we will. I just hope he's okay"
They were all unaware that a camera was flying above one of the holes in the roof and recording them. Watching them on a screen in the middle of the woods was Walker and his men, he grinned as he saw Wulf sleeping.
"So the ghost kids did what you boys could not. They found Wulf" Walker said. "Outstanding. Now I can get three prisoners for the price of one. Time to send out an invitation"
Later that night, Dayla kept watch of Wulf inside as he slept while Danny and Sam sat outside keeping watch for any more ghost monsters or Walker's men.
"Don't worry Sam. As I said to Dayla, we'll find everyone" Danny said.
"I know but Tucker and Andrew are out there with a monster or worse with a monster and Dash and Kwan" Sam said cringing at the thought.
Danny smiled and said, "Come on. You'd know that Dayla and I would never let anything happen to any of you. I couldn't imagine my life without you"
Sam eyes widened at what he said. Danny then realised what he said and blushed as he said nervously, "Or Tucker, Andrew and Dayla"
Sam blushed and smiled at what he said. Dayla then came out and said, "Wulf is still asleep and I think his injuries are getting better"
They all then gasped as they heard movement in the woods and they all saw a shadow zoom past some trees. Danny and Dayla stood up as Danny said to Sam, "Stay here Sam and wake up Wulf"
"Be careful. I couldn't imagine my life without you either" Sam said to Danny.
Danny's eyes widened and then Sam added after blushing and realising what she said, "Or Tucker, Andrew and you too Dayla"
Dayla just giggled and then she and Danny ran into the woods and changed into their ghost forms. They both stopped near where they saw the shadow landed and both of them lit one hand each with ectoplasmic energy. They both heard movement in the bushes and then two of Walker's men came out.
"Out past curfew ghost kids?" One of them asked. "Isn't that against the rules?"
"Walker's goons!" Danny said as both he and Dayla's anger flared. They both prepared a couple of ecto blasts in their hands as Danny finished, "We were wondering when you'd show up"
"Relax kids. We aren't here to do any harm" The other one said.
They both then smirked and fired blasts from their batons, Danny and Dayla screamed in pain as they both were hit dead on and fell to the ground. Both their chests let off smoke from the blast.
"Well maybe just a little" The other guard said his smirk not dropping.
"We have a message from Walker" The first guard said as he tossed them Tucker's hat and Andrew's jacket. "Give us Wulf and we'll give you your friends"
They both picked up the items and then glared at the police ghosts as they flew off. Danny and Dayla then flew back to the campsite where Wulf and Sam were sitting in front of a camp fire that Sam had lit.
"Wulf please you need to remember where that portal is right now" Dayla asked.
Wulf grabbed Andrew's jacket and Tucker's hat and sniffed them both, he then got down on all fours and started sniffing the ground. His eyes then widened and he let off a howl indicating he picked up the scent, Danny quickly went back to the cabin and grabbed a few things and put them in a duffle bag and then they followed Wulf. The sun had begun to rise as they continued to follow Wulf, they all then stopped when they heard movement happening in the bushes in front of them.
"Oh no! Here we go again!" Sam exclaimed as Wulf started growling in anger.
"Get behind us" Dayla said to Sam and Wulf as she and Danny stood defensively in front of them ready to fight whatever was about to come out of the bushes.
With a huge roar, a huge monstrous tiger ghost leapt out of the bushes and charged straight for them. Danny and Dayla were about to throw a combined ecto blast at it, when Wulf roared and charged straight at it. He pushed it to the ground and held it there as he raised his hand and unsheathed his claws. He then roared as he scratched and punched the tiger and then threw it to the ground. The tiger held its head in pain and was about to run away, but was stopped by Wulf as he grabbed onto its tail and then it screeched as he spun it around and around and around in circles. He then let go of its tail and they all watched as the tiger flew straight over the trees and into another part of the forest, Wulf then growled and retracted his claws.
"Boy! He sure recovered quickly" Danny said with a smile. Sam smirked and said, "I'm telling you, it was the berries"
They continued to walk through the woods until Wulf led them to a stream that was ever flowing by a waterfall. Wulf bent down and started having a drink of water while Danny, Dayla and Sam filled up their water bottles.
"Wow this is pretty cool" Danny admitted.
"Nature is full of nice surprises" Sam said with a smile as she stood up. Danny smiled back and said, "So I've heard"
"I have to agree as well. If it wasn't for that berry mix, Wulf would be healing very slowly" Dayla said.
Wulf then raised his head and sniffed the air. He then pointed at the waterfall and said, "La portalo estas ĉi tie"
They all then watched as he leapt from rock to rock and then jumped straight through the waterfall. They followed him and entered the waterfall to reveal a cave inside and then they found Wulf standing on the dry land of the cave and on the wall was the ghost portal.
"Another amazing wonder of nature" Danny said. Dayla then asked, "Okay are we ready to break into prison?"
Wulf sharpened his claws on the wall and then growled in response. Sam then said, "I'd say that's a yes"
"Hang on buddy. We can't just rush in there" Danny said. He then gestured to the duffle bag he had in his hands and said, "We have a plan"
"We do?" Sam asked. They both then saw some small patches of black fur hanging from the top and then Sam said, "We do"
"Okay here's what we're gonna do…" Danny and Dayla started explaining.
A few minutes later, Danny and Dayla were flying through the Ghost Zone with the duffle bag in their hands, the bag was now much larger and heavier and small patches of fur were flowing from the top of the bag. They both looked ahead and saw they were coming close to Walker's prison, they also noticed that there were no guards at all on patrol on the walls.
"No guards. We must be expected" Dayla said.
They both entered the prison and then entered a large room, they both then froze and gasped at something which caused them to accidently drop the duffle bag. They both then heard a grunt of pain as soon as the bag hit the floor.
"Sorry…Wulf" Danny and Dayla apologised.
They both looked again at the sight of Mr Lancer, Tucker, Andrew and everyone else floating inside a large glass and metal case in suspended animation. It looked like they were peacefully asleep.
"Woah! Suspended animation" Danny said. "Looks kind of like the camp oatmeal"
"Andrew" Dayla whispered and then floated closer to it.
She reached her hand forward to touch the glass, but her hand stopped on some sort of glass blocking them off from the case and then she screamed as the glass electrocuted her. She pulled back and rubbed her hand in pain.
"Okay. That was unexpected" Dayla said. "At least for now we know everyone is safe"
"Which is more than I can say for you two" The voice of Walker said.
They both turned around to see the grinning warden along with a whole line up of his goons. Danny then said sarcastically, "You brought the whole gang to welcome us. We're touched"
"Release our friends and my boyfriend Walker" Dayla demanded.
"Return Wulf to me" Walker then demanded.
"You know you didn't have to kidnap all of the campers to get us to bring you Wulf" Danny pointed out.
"Perhaps not. But I did have to take the ones that stumbled on my search party in the woods, to keep them from shooting off their mouths" Walker said. "We started off looking for Wulf, but once I learned that you and your sister were in those woods too I knew I only needed to capture a few of your friends to get your attention. No matter, the end results is the same. I have your friends and you have mine"
"Something tells me Wulf doesn't consider you a friend" Danny said as he picked up the duffle bag and tossed it at his feet. Dayla then added, "Considering all the times he escaped from you, I can understand why he wouldn't want to be near you"
"Again don't matter. What's important is that this game of cat and mouse is now over" Walker said grinning again. "Oh and in case you two had any doubt, you two are the mice"
He then pulled out the thermos and activated it, the beam of energy hooked onto Danny and Dayla and they both screamed as they were sucked inside and then Walker capped the lid on sealing them inside.
"Now I have the campers, the ghost kids and Wulf" Walker said as he bent down to the bag. "Those Phantom punks should've known better than to engage in a game of wits with me and now Wulf…"
He was cut off as Sam jumped out of the bag and laughed, "HA!"
The fur was just a part of the mascot costumed that Mr Lancer was forced to wear. Sam was wearing the pants part over her skirt and that, she then fired her wrist ray and hit Walker dead on and caused him to drop the thermos. Sam then blasted all of Walker's men in the room straight to the floor.
"It's hard to engage in a game of wits when your opponent is missing a few pieces" Sam said with a smirk as she ripped the costume off.
She then ran to grab the thermos, Walker growled and fired an ecto blast at her. She picked up the thermos and was hit by the ecto blast which caused to fall over near the wall but instead of hitting it she phased right through it and fell to the floor in another room. At first she was confused but then smiled as she remembered, "Oh right! Humans past through stuff in the Ghost Zone. Cool"
She then picked up the thermos and jumped right through another wall, she then uncapped the thermos and released Danny and Dayla.
"Nice save" Danny and Dayla said as they landed on the ground.
All three of them then ducked their heads as a blast came right for them, they all looked to see it was Walker again with two more guards.
"Get them!" Walker commanded and then the guards fired blasts from their batons right at them.
Danny grabbed Sam's arm and dragged her to down a corridor with Dayla following them from behind. Sam then came back and blasted Walker and the two guards with three blasts.
"YES!" She cheered victorious. Danny and Dayla then grabbed her and said, "Let's go!"
They both took her to another room and then Danny and Dayla placed their hands on the wall behind them and made it invisible. Sam gasped at the sight of the sleeping Andrew, Tucker and everyone else.
"Tucker! Andrew! The campers! Are they floating in oatmeal?" Sam asked after noticing the colour of the water.
"It's a suspended animation that just so happens to look like breakfast" Dayla said. Danny then said as they took their hands off the wall, "Trust me. They're okay for now"
"How do we free them?" Sam asked.
"The question is, when do you join them?" Walker said smugly.
Six guards then came and grabbed onto them individually by their arms and held them still tightly. "Listen Walker you got us. Let Sam go"
"And while you're at it, let Andrew go too" Dayla begged.
"Let someone go, that would be against the rules" Walker said. He then pulled out the collar that he used to torture Wulf with and said, "This collar always worked on Wulf, but since he's not here I'll just have to put it on someone else"
"You can't scare us Walker" Danny and Dayla said defiantly.
"I'll make a note of that ghost kids, but neither of you are the ones who are gonna wear this" Walker said and then walked over to Sam.
Sam looked at Walker in fear as he started reaching over to put the collar on her. Danny and Dayla shouted in fear, "NO!"
Suddenly they all heard a roar and then Wulf charged in and jumped straight onto Walker and pinned him to the ground.
"Wulf!" Danny, Dayla and Sam cried happily.
The two guards that were holding onto Sam let go of her and aimed their batons at Wulf and demanded, "Hold it!'
"No! Don't hit me!" Walker shouted and then blasted Wulf off him with an ecto blast.
Sam then took aim and blasted the guards that were holding her right into Walker and sent them spinning down the hallway. Danny then changed back into his human form and phased out of the guards arms and into the wall, he then used his hands and grabbed their heads and lammed them into each other and knocked them out. Dayla's body glowed blue with her ice energy and she froze the two guards holding her solid, she then broke out of their arms as Danny phased back into the room and changed back into his ghost form.
"Nice job guys" Danny said to all of them.
"I am loving this wrist ray" Sam said with a smile. "It's the perfect accessory of pain!"
Walker growled and commanded, "SEIZE THEM!"
All of them then shouted battle cries and charged at each other. Wulf used his mighty claws and took down four guards, Sam took out five guards using her Fenton Wrist Ray, Dayla froze three of the guards and then blasted four of them with ecto blasts and then Danny blasted a guard with an ecto blast, punched another one and then blasted two of them away with a blast from around his body. Before Danny and Dayla could react, Walker grabbed them both by their throats with his hands and slammed them against the wall and held them there.
"You're all breaking the law ghost kids" Walker growled and then suddenly Sam blasted a blast at his head and caused it to burn his hat right off, he screamed in pain and ran off releasing Danny and Dayla at the same time.
Danny and Dayla landed next to Sam and then Danny said, "Nice job Sam. Okay get Wulf and go to Tucker and Andrew while Dayla and I keep Walker's army busy"
"Okay" Sam said. She then turned to Wulf and said, "Come with me. Venu kun mi"
She noticed Danny and Dayla look her with surprised eyes as soon as she spoke Esperanto. She then sighed and said, "So I know some Esperanto too. Neither of you say a word"
With that Sam and Wulf ran to go to Tucker and Andrew while Dayla and Danny went the other way to keep the guards busy. After running through a few corridors, Wulf and Sam finally reached the room where Tucker, Andrew and the others were.
"So you think you can run away from me" Walker said as he stood at the doorway frowning.
He suddenly screamed as he felt a burning pain from an ecto blast at his back, he turned to see it was Dayla floating behind him. He then sneered, "Firing from behind. How very cowardly of you"
"You'd know all about that! Torturing Wulf, torturing me and now almost torturing Sam!" Dayla snapped.
Walker smirked and then fired an ecto blast back at her, which hit her dead on in the stomach and sent her into the wall. Danny then phased into the room behind Walker's back and fired a blast straight at his back which hit him dead on. Dayla then flew right at him and changed into her human form and phased right through him and then landed on the ground and changed back into her ghost form.
"YOU PUNKS!" Walker roared in anger.
"Let's put this feud on ice for a while" Danny and Dayla said and before Walker could attack them, they used their ice powers and froze him solid in a thick case of ice.
With Walker out of the way, they turned their attention back to the others. Sam asked, "How do we get in there to free them?"
"Easy. Remember how normal humans can pass through stuff in the Ghost Zone?" Danny reminded.
Sam smiled and she phased right through the glass wall cutting them between them and the others in the case. She then started looking around for a switch to lift up the wall, but then it was opened. They all turned to see it was Wulf who found the switch outside the cell.
He smiled and said, "Duh!"
Danny, Dayla and Sam began to push it out of the prison when Dayla asked, "Wait. Where's Wulf?"
All three of them looked behind and saw Wulf and he had his tongue stuck to the ice that Walker was frozen in. Sam shook her head and said, "Ferocious? Yes. Smart? Not so much"
They all exited the Ghost Zone back through the portal. Danny then pulled out the thermos and started pushing some buttons and said, "A little reverse polarities should keep Walker in the Ghost Zone a while"
He then activated the thermos and the beam of energy closed the portal for good. Sam and Wulf sat on top of the case as Danny and Dayla used their enhanced strength and carried it out of the water fall, they landed on the ground and then Danny and Dayla phased right through the box and stood on top of it with Sam and Wulf.
"I'm impressed" Sam said.
"With our strength?" Danny asked with a grin. Sam chuckled and said, "No. That you knew what reverse polarity was"
Dayla busted out laughing at her joke earning her an annoyed glare from Danny. She then stopped and they both turned to Wulf and Danny said, "Your free my friend. Run before Sam tries to make another joke"
"Mi liberas?" Wulf asked with a smile.
"Yes. Liberaj mia amiko" Danny said.
"Miaj amikoj. Mi sopiros al vi" Wulf said happily and then licked Danny on the cheek and then gave Dayla a lick on her face. She giggled and said, "Down boy. Ni mankas vin. Ni venu viziti vin baldaŭ'
He was about to lick Sam when she cringed back and said, "Uh let's keep this tongue free okay"
Wulf then headed off into the woods to begin his afterlife of freedom. Sam then asked, "Are you two okay?"
"Yeah. Come on let's get back to camp" Danny said. Sam then asked looking at him with a warm smile, "We don't have to wake them all up right away do we?"
Danny returned the smile and Dayla smirked at the interaction between them two. It was now night time and Tucker and Andrew were now out of suspended animation and they were all sitting round a camp fire, well Tucker was setting something up out of his bag.
"So we're gonna tell everyone it was all a dream?" Andrew asked as he sat down next to Dayla on one of the logs.
"Of course not, but everyone is gonna think it was a dream thanks to a bad headache of being in suspended animation" Dayla said.
"Yeah. Floating in that oatmeal was almost as worse as eating it" Tucker said with disgust.
"Wulf is free, Walker is in the Ghost Zone and we don't have to wake the others until morning" Danny said as he began to toast a marshmallow on a stick. "Uh I-I mean till it's grey again"
He lifted the stick but then saw his marshmallow was burning, he tried to put the flames out but it was too late and the marshmallow was nothing but ashes.
"Just make sure you get out Lester's way when you wake him. He hasn't been to the bathroom in days" Tucker warned.
He then opened the mini DVD player and turned on the speakers and said, "Okay we're ready. It's show time"
"Oh no. That's not what we're watching" Sam said.
She then sat on the ground and leaned back on the log. Danny then sat next to Sam while Tucker sat on the other side in the same position, Andrew and Dayla then walked over and sat down next to Tucker and they all looked up at the sky.
"Now it's show time" Sam said with a smile.
They all watched in awe as a shooting star shot across the night sky. Danny said truly amazed, "Wow!"
"I know" Sam said looking at him lovingly. Danny returned the look.
Dayla leaned her head onto Andrew's shoulder and he started rubbing her arm comfortingly but then, moment was interrupted as they heard snoring and all four of them turned to the middle to see it was Tucker fast asleep. They all laughed a little and then went back to watching the night sky, they all then became fascinated as they heard the animals in the distance make a noise.
"We have our own soundtrack" Danny said to Sam. She smiled and said, "It's perfect"
Dayla watched as Danny stretched his arms and then laid them across the log right near Sam. She could feel that it would only be a matter of time before those two would get together and even a matter of time before Andrew tells her his little secret that she saw in his dream.
"I'm so glad your back Andrew" Dayla said as she leaned her head back on his shoulder. Andrew smiled and then said, "Me too"
