Chapter 10
The sound of laughter and splashes was heard down at the large beach of Angel's Wings. Children laughed, played, in the sand, swam in the water while some of the older kids played such games as volley ball, adults sat under umbrellas while some sat out to tan their skin and others were sitting under the shade of trees eating food such burgers or hotdogs. One teen had black hair and sunglasses as he relaxed on the beach under an umbrella. A dark shinned teen with glasses was trying unsuccessfully to get a girl while a black haired teen stayed in the shade under the trees.
"Man I still cannot get a date no matter nice I am." complained Tucker,
"Maybe you should stop being so flirty." said Danny.
"Or maybe he should just stop trying." said Sam.
Jazz stood not so far away in her own swim suit but she was reading a book to earn extra credit for college. It was day off from fighting the evil cybernetic ghostly monsters of the mad genius Sovereign and Vlad Plasmius had not done anything suspicious yet.
"This is perfect. No ghosts, no megalomaniac out to take over the world, no fruit loop hitting on my mom. Just nothing but peace and quiet." said Danny,
"Not for long." said a young female voice in a sing song tone.
Suddenly water fell right on top of Danny's head which caused the teen to gasp and sit right up from the cold water and sand was now stuck on his wet skin and hair. A young twelve year old girl with black wavy hair and baby blue eye dressed in her own swim suit with the elastic band removed so her hair fell down her shoulder smiled mischievously at the wet teen.
"Can't have you slacking can we?" said the girl,
"Danielle, you better watch it or I might just slap a bow on you and deliver you back to Vlad in a box." said Danny.
Danielle quickly put on an abandoned puppy dog look.
"Does this mean you don't love me anymore?"
She held the face for a few seconds before laughing. Danny looked at her as his blue eyes turned bright green which caused Danielle to look back with equal intensity.
"You threatening me, Ghost Boy, then bring it." said Danielle with bright green eyes.
"You just try it but don't come crying to me when I mop the floor with you." said Danny.
With that Danny and Danielle jumped at each other and rolled around in the sand in a playful spar. Danny tried to grab her but Danielle's small form made it easy for her to dodge as she Danny down but Danny quickly tickled her sides which caused her to laugh and jump off just Danny tried to jump her. Jazz and Sam chuckled at the playful fight.
"A boy and his little female clone. Will you ever see a funnier sight?" said Sam.
Jazz shook her head and watched Danny and Danielle rolled through the ground in their little war. Sometimes it seemed like Danny and Danielle were acting literal brother and sister. Well considering Danny gets along with Danielle so well because she is his clone. Soon enough Danny and Danielle stopped their battle to catch their breath.
They looked at each other and laughed. The day was passing by as they had fun. When it was time for lunch Danielle took off for the Pizza Shack with plans to bring them to the house Danny and his friends were renting while their parents stayed and worked to secure the city from ghost attacks. The problem was Angel's Wings was a big city.
Jazz drove her vehicle through the streets. Danny took a towel and tried to wipe of the dirt he got from his playful spar with Danielle. Suddenly the vehicle started to leak gas into it.
"What the . . .?" asked Jazz.
The vehicle stopped as she fell unconscious and her face hit the wheel and the others were soon knocked out. Danny tried to go ghost but he was too dizzy and soon fell asleep.
They groaned and opened their eyes to look around and gasped. The vehicle was being held in the air by a magnet attached to a crane over a cliff. Danny transformed into his ghost form and tried to fly out but the he was blocked by some kind of shield.
"Ghost Shield." said Danny,
"And I can't call for help. This guy took our cell phones." said Jazz.
"This guy thought of everything." said Danny.
Danielle sighed as she picked Danny's cell phone up at the beach before she took off. The others just headed home in Jazz's vehicle.
"Leave it to Danny to forget his own cell phone. I sometimes wonder how I was ever cloned from him without getting his clumsiness." said Danielle.
She turned into her Ghost Form and flew into the air.
"Let me out! Let me out! Let me out!"
Tucker banged against the glass and opened the door.
"Yes! Freedom!" shouted Tucker,
"Tucker, we're over a cliff!" shouted Sam.
Just as Tucker looked out and saw the deep bottomless cliff they were hanging over he screamed.
"Let me back in! Let me back in! Let me back in!"
He closed the door and sighed against his seat.
"Close call wasn't it?" asked a deep voice,
"Sure was. Wait who said that?" asked Tucker.
"I did." said the voice.
It came from the glove compartment. Danny opened it and found a walkie talkie in it. He grabbed it and held it up.
"Who are you?" asked Danny,
"I am one of the many enemies you have fought and humiliated. I am one of the many beings who was stopped by you and beaten to the ground. I waited for this for a long . . ." said the voice.
It was cut off by something and Danny shook it a few times.
"The batteries dead. So much for thinking of everything." said Danny.
"Do you know many sleepless nights I and my friend have endured because of you? Hello? Hello?" asked a shadowy figure,
"I told you to change the batteries but no!" said a female voice.
"Oh shut up or beware my wrath." said the first figure.
Purple Gas started to leak into the vehicle again which caused the occupants to cough as they were knocked out.
"Not . . . Again." said Tucker.
Later they all awoke and the walkie talkie started up.
"Sorry about that with the batteries." said the deep voice,
"Who the heck are you?" asked Danny.
"You have three chances to guess who I am and if you defeated and humiliated too many ghosts to remember then I guess you deserve to fall to your death." said the voice,
"Three chance? Do you have any idea how many bad guys Danny has fought? We should have ten or twenty." complained Tucker.
"Sorry guys. Three guesses are all you got." said the voice.
The being turned off the walkie talkie from the other side and left everyone to think.
"Oh man. Who can it be?" asked Tucker,
"It's not Vlad. This isn't his style. If he was after us than he would have announced it to us and wouldn't have bothered coming up with this plot." said Danny.
"What about Skulker?" asked Tucker,
"He's a hunter. This is not his style either. We need more time to think. Tucker see if you can boast the walkie talkie signal while we try to think." said Sam.
Tucker took the walkie talkie and hooked it up to the car and started tinkering with the wires.
"Be careful with this." said Jazz.
"Who would go for death traps and high stake games like this?" asked Danny,
"I have an idea who would go for this. It's got to be Freakshow. He always goes for the drama." said Jazz.
"Sounds kinda like him but why would he go after us? Danny erased his memory with the Reality Gauntlet." said Tucker,
"Maybe not, he might still remember because he was still trapped in thermos before I turned him back into a human." said Danny.
" Lydia might have busted him out. She pretty much escaped after what happened with the Gauntlet." said Sam,
"It's worth a shot." said Danny.
The walkie talkie was turned back on.
"So have you picked your first guess?" asked the voice,
"Our first pick is Freakshow." said Danny.
"Wow, how did you know I escaped the jail?" asked the voice,
"Yes! Jazz you're a genius!" said Tucker.
"Sorry, I'm not Freakshow. I'm just messing you." said the voice, laughing.
Danny and the other occupants groaned. The voice laughed hard.
"I sure got you." said the voice,
"Quit playing with us." said Danny.
Tucker wired the walkie talkie into the car and suddenly a voice came out.
"Hello you have reached Angel's Wings Pizza Shack. We sell the most delicious pizza in the entire city."
"Help! We have been taken hostage and we're being hanged over a cliff. You've got to send for help!" said Tucker,
"Sir we have no tolerance for prank calls. Either order something or hang up." said the voice.
"Please! Help us!" shouted Tucker,
"Hanging up now." said the voice.
"I'll take three orders of pizza with all the meat you have on it and three sodas! Just don't hang up!" shouted Tucker,
"Tucker!" said Sam.
"Oh, make one of those pizzas a veggie pizza please." said Tucker.
Danny, Jazz, and Sam slapped themselves in the head. The person working at the Pizza Shack hung up on Tucker during his crazy rant but the techno geek was too busy shouting.
"Okay. We need to think hard on the next guess. It's not Freakshow or Vlad for that matter." said Danny,
"How about Walker?" asked Sam.
"He would have dragged us all into his prison in the Ghost Zone by now." said Tucker,
"Maybe it's Danielle's villain that Sovereign guy." said Jazz.
"If it was Sovereign then there would be some kind of cybernetic ghost on the loose. He would have sensed a ghost nearby." said Danny,
"How about Technus? He could have taken control of the car and used it to gas us." said Tucker.
"Yeah it's possible but we would have heard his long winded speech by now." said Sam,
"How about Spectra? She's one of the only ghosts who have ever come close to killing someone." said Jazz.
"It seems likely." said Danny.
Danielle walked up to the house that Danny and the others were staying and rang the door bell. It wasn't long before the door was answered by Maddie Fenton.
"Hello? Can I help you?" asked Maddie,
"Yes. I am a friend of your son, Danny, and I was just stopping by to give back his cell phone which he dropped at the beach." said Danielle.
She held out the cell phone and Maddie took it.
"Why thank you? But who are you and how do you know Danny?" asked Maddie,
"My name's Danielle and he met me in the park when my kite got stuck in the tree. He got it out and we talked for a while." said Danielle.
Maddie smiled at that and invited her in. She smiled and walked in. She saw Jack Fenton tinkering over some equipment. Maddie grabbed her shoulder and steered her away before Jack could see her and get her stuck in rant about ghosts.
"Have you seen Danny around? He invited me over for the afternoon but he said he would be here when I got in." said Danielle,
"I was hoping you would know where he is. It isn't like him not to call and tell us where he will be." said Maddie.
"Oh well. If he gets in then he can call me. I kinda got some school work to catch up on. Thank you." said Danielle,
"Anytime." said Maddie.
She watched Danielle walk out the door and something about that girl reminded her of Danny. The black hair and blue eyes was a distinctive resemblance and there was something about her that was so familiar. For second when she looked at the girl she thought she was seeing Danny.
Danielle shook her head as Danny no doubt got himself late with something again. She pulled out her own cell phone and dialed for the Pizza Shack.
Suddenly the walkie talkie turned back on and a voice they least expected to hear came through.
"Hello, Pizza Shack, I would like to order . . ."
"Danielle?" asked Danny, interrupting,
"Danny? What the heck are you guys doing working at the Pizza Shack?" asked Danielle over the line.
"We're not working at Pizza Shack we are being held hostage and a ghost shield is around the car so I can't bust us out with my ghost powers. The guy responsible for this gave us three guesses but we got the first one wrong. If we don't guess right then we will fall to our deaths in a canyon." said Danny,
"Wait so he's giving you only two more guesses. Danny you and the others are so cooked." said Danielle.
"Thanks, Danielle. When we die you are not coming to my funeral!" wailed Tucker,
"What's with him?" asked Danielle.
"He's just over reacting." replied Danny over the walkie talkie.
"Overreacting? I was supposed to die on a beach full of swim suit models! Is that so hard to ask?" wailed Tucker,
"Sorry I asked. Anyway you guys have to be careful over which enemy you pick. How many have you already picked out?" asked Danielle.
"We have already crossed Vlad out since this was not his style. The problem I have faced over hundreds of ghosts and you guys and Vlad are the only humans who know my secret identity." said Danny,
"Just think carefully about this." said Danielle.
"Welcome to Pizza Shack. We sell the most delicious pizza in Angel's Wings." said a voice,
"Not that again!" complained Tucker.
"Is this another prank call?" asked the voice,
"Hang on. Just don't hang up because I need some pizza over. Make mine double cheese with everything on it." said Danielle.
"That is double cheese with all toppings." said the voice,
"Make mine all meat." said Tucker.
"Tucker!" shouted Sam,
"Oh and one pizza with all veggie." said Tucker.
"One double cheese with all toppings, one with all meat, and one with all veggie." said the voice,
"Have you reached your next guess yet?" asked the voice of the villain.
"No we're too busy ordering pizza." said Danny in a fake sarcastic tone,
"Not in a mood for it, huh? Well beware of you anger because that is going to cost you some points. There is a bomb that has been just set off in your car. You have 30 seconds to live." said the villain.
Suddenly a ticking was heard in the vehicle and everyone quickly and frantically looked around.
"It's got to be here somewhere!" said Danny,
"No duh!" said Sam.
"This is so not good. I am not ready to die!" shouted Tucker,
"Way to waste five minutes, Tuck!" said Danny.
"Way to waste five seconds telling that I wasted five seconds, Dan!" said Tucker,
"Tucker, the ticking is coming from your PDA!" said Jazz.
Tucker looked at it and saw at it a 10 second countdown on it.
"No! It can't be! I'd rather die than throw it away!" shouted Tucker.
Danny grabbed it with his ghost powers and made phased through the window with his hand and dropped it out of the vehicle.
"NO!" shouted Tucker.
Soon enough there was blast but it was nothing lethal. They watched as the entire canyon was covered in paint.
"Paint! That guy tried to blow us up with paint!" exclaimed Sam,
"This guy has a few circuits loose." said Jazz.
"How can he be so cruel!" wailed Tucker,
"Speaking of a few circuits loose." said Danny.
"Danny what is happening there?" asked Danielle through her cell phone connected to the walkie talkie,
"The guy turned Tucker's PDA into a bomb but when I threw it out it was only a paint bomb." said Danny.
"You've got to be kidding me." said Danielle,
"Miss, you are tying up the line." said the worker at Pizza Shack.
"Give me a few minutes to help my friends." said Danielle,
"So how did you like my little bomb?" asked the villain over the walkie talkie.
"Without my PDA what's the point of the living? Just kill us you monster!" shouted Tucker,
"Tucker, calm down!" said Jazz.
"Have you made your decision?" asked the villain,
"Hey wait a second? How come I am connected to the villain when I tried to reach Pizza Shack?" asked Danielle.
"Miss, I have to cut you off now." said the worker,
"Go anywhere near that phone and a ghost will pop out and scare you so bad your mama will feel it!" shouted Danielle.
"Well when you put it that way!"
That wasn't the voice of the Pizza Shack worker but the villain. Danielle quickly transformed into Dani Phantom and flew straight towards Pizza Shack.
"Guess there is no point of hiding, beware!" said the villain,
"Wait a second. There is only person who ever says that." said Danny,
"It is the Box Ghost!" shouted the revealed ghostly villain.
"The Box Ghost trapped us up here. That's got to be a trick!" said Sam,
"It is no trick, dearie." said a voice.
"The Lunch Lady?" asked Tucker,
"That is right, dear. The Box Ghost and I have teamed up for . . . Revenge with the dish best served cold!" shouted the Lunch Lady.
"You have got to be kidding me." said Tucker,
"We do not do humor! I placed minimum sized boxes full of knockout gas in the car which was used to knock you out and the Lunch Lady put your car up over the canyon, beware!" said the Box Ghost.
Suddenly Dani Phantom busted open the door. The Box Ghost and the Lunch Lady gasped as she appeared.
"You also both signed up to work here. The Box Ghost delivered the pizza boxes and then stole them back while the Lunch Lady did the cooking." said Dani,
"You are good little girl but you are no match for the power of the Box Ghost!" said the Box Ghost.
However he was punched as he finished his rant and the Lunch Lady was knocked out by an ecto blast. Dani pulled out a thermos and sucked them both in.
"Well this was a weird day. Danny always told me the Box Ghost was no threat. Who would have thought he would try this hard?" asked Dani.
Later
"Next time Danny, pick up your cell phone instead of leaving it at the beach." said Danielle,
"Okay I get it. I must have been really slacking off to have been caught by the Box Ghost." said Danny.
"Don't take it too personal. He got help. The Lunch Lady was the one who hanged the car over the canyon." said Tucker,
"But how did she do it?" asked Sam.
"She also got help. Someone tipped them and a few other ghosts from Amity Park when I looked up their numerous numbers. Like this one 1-800-I am Technus Master of all things science and beeping." said Danielle,
"Even on his phone number that Technus still makes long winded speeches." said Danny.
"We might be in for more trouble." said Jazz,
"At least we know how they found us." said Tucker.
"I got three guesses." said Danny.
"Vlad or Sovereign." said Danielle.
