Season 3 Episode 8
Boxed Up Fury
"The Episode that thinks OUTSIDE the BOX!"
The Ghost Zone, home of many ghosts, specters, ghouls, and spirits and still mysterious to the human world as far as most people knew, unlike the ghost heroine, Dani Phantom, who protects both the Earth and Ghost Zone as their protector on both sides of the portal. Some of the ghosts resigning in the ghost dimension were really scary and a major threat to the human world, and some are actually very benevolent to humans on the Earth and they mean no harm to anyone.
Yet there was one ghost who was the most annoying and the most ridiculous in both sides of the world: the Box Ghoul.
"BEWARE!" She shouted, trying to sound scary while she floated around the void. "Beware! Beware! Beware!" The ghosts around her just only stared at her in annoyance, not finding her scary at all.
"Be-what?" The Box Ghoul noticed that Walka's police officers nailed in a wanted poster of Omega and the bounty price for her capture. She looked unimpressed by the wanted poster. "One million for an overgrown dog?" She then turned to another poster for Whirltex, the weather ghost. "Two million for an overgrown cloud?!" She then looked at the wanted poster for Overgrowth, the plant ghost. "Three million for an overgrown fungus?! Chump change! For those ghosts barely compare to me, the Box Ghoul! Imagine the value of a ghost that terrorizes with corrugated cardboard and the occasional roll of bubble wrap! It must make the head spin!"
The Box Ghoul's head popped from her neck until a paper was thrown at her and she unrolled it. The paper showed her own picture of herself, but revealed that she was unwanted and her price was only $2.50, thus proving that she was not any real threat to neither the Earth nor the Ghost Zone at all.
"Not wanted?!" Box Ghoul asked in disbelief before she ripped it in anger. "THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! Do I not inspire fear and loathing?!" Her brain literally popped out right from out of her head. Some ghosts nearby laughed hysterically at her for the comedic, non-treating spirit the Box Ghoul was. "Stop your curtailing at my expense! The Box Ghoul can be threatening, ominous...uh, threatening!" Her eyes popped from her sockets. "I will prove it to you! You will all rue the day you underestimated my awesome foresighted ability to terrorize!"
She then flew across the Ghost Zone and into her lair, the warehouse, and phased inside where all of her different boxes were. "And with the aid of some very special boxes, I will bring stackable, packable terror to them all! BEWARE!" The Box Ghoul shouted before she smiled. "Oh, that's good."
Theme Song:
(She's a phantom)
(Dani Phantom, Phantom, Phantom)
Yo, Dani Fenton, she was just fourteen
When her parents built a very strange machine
Designed to view a world unseen
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
When it didn't work, her folks, they just quit
Then Dani took a look inside of it
There was a great, big flash, and everything changed
Her molecules got all rearranged
(Phantom, Phantom)
When she first woke up, she realized she had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes
She could walk through walls, disappear, and fly
She was much more unique than the other gals
And it was then that she knew what she had to do
She had to stop all the ghost that were coming through
She's there to fight, for me and you!
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
At Amity Park, the most haunted town in the country and best known for its many ghost attacks and activities, Dani Fenton, Sam Manson, and Tina Foley were walking down the park. They looked rather annoyed about their occasional run-ins with the Box Ghoul, who has been acting more of an annoyance than a threat to them lately with all of her ridiculous boxes and calling herself 'scary'.
"This is nuts! We've been capturing and recapturing the Box Ghoul all day long." Sam said in annoyance with his hands up in the air.
"What's up with these boxes she's using? I mean, the Mailbox of Misfortune?" Tina asked as she held up a picture of the Box Ghoul with a living mailbox.
"I know, all I got from that was a paper cut." Sam then sarcastically mimicked a dramatic fear as he trembled his hands a little. "Oooh! So menacing!"
"And the ring from the Jewellry Box of Despair?" Dani added with a cocked eyebrow before she held up her hand and she showed her friends a slight green tint on her ring finger. "Didn't do anything, but turned my finger green. How is that supposed to be scary?"
"Cupric Zirconium is pretty terrifying." Tina admitted.
"Well, she's attacked seven times and we've sent her back to the Ghost Zone seven times. I think she's finally gotten the message." Then Dani's ghost sense went off and they glanced up to see the Box Ghoul floating above them, looking even more determined to strike fear into the humans and their teen ghost heroine.
"Maybe you need to write it down." Sam said quietly.
The Box Ghoul held up a purple lunch box into the air. "Behold! The Lunchbox of Fear!" She shouted as she opened it up and a light blue thermos popped out before it landed in Dani's hands.
"Hey, bringing your own thermos to our battles now? You know, you could save us time by showing up already inside it." She said sarcastically.
"And now...taste your multigrain of doom!" The Box Ghoul lifted the lunch box high as hundreds of sandwiches began to fly out and they rained down on everyone in the park.
"Look! That caterer brought free lunch for everyone!" A man called to everyone as he caught a sandwich and cheered for the Box Ghoul for their free lunches, not finding this scary at all.
"No, no, I am no caterer! My sandwiches are very high in calories! They will totally clog your arteries!"
"In like forty years." Sam scoffed as he narrowed his eyebrows at the Box Ghoul.
"Yeah, so? It is a slow death!" Dani and Tina shrugged and they merely took a bite out of their sandwiches, confusing the Box Ghoul greatly when she looked a little taken aback by this. "Wait...what are you doing?"
"Tasting our doom, and I gotta tell ya, it's a little dry." Dani said casually as she examined her sandwich of doom.
"You wouldn't happen to have any spicy mustard of doom, would ya?" Tina asked hopefully.
The Box Ghoul only groaned in frustration and flew off back to the Ghost Zone to find herself another box from her warehouse.
Later on in the Amity Park Mall, the trio decided to go shopping while Tina burped from eating too much sandwiches from the Box Ghoul.
"Is it me or are those sandwiches making anyone else burp?" Tina asked her friends as they walked down the mall.
"Well when you eat four of them." Sam pointed out as he narrowed his eyes.
"Hey, free food is free food, even if it's vaguely evil."
Dani's ghost sense went off again before they all looked up again and saw that the Box Ghoul has returned again for another try at striking fear this time. "Guys, I think it's time for dessert." She said to her friends as she frowned at her comedic ghost foe.
"Behold, the Shoebox of Terror!" She exclaimed as she held up a shoe box.
Dani looked unimpressed and skeptical as she placed her hands on her hips. "I'm sorry, but how exactly are shoes supposed scary?"
"Girl, have you ever actually smelled yours?" Tina asked her rhetorically with a hint of disgust.
"When it comes to terror shoes, one size fits all!" The Box Ghoul shouted before she opened the lip. Hundreds of random shoes poured out and rained down on the customers, hitting them on the head hard while they yelped in pain.
"Look! The catering shoe saleswoman is giving out free samples!" The same man from the park said with delight as they caught shoes of their interests and they cheered for the ghost again.
The Box Ghoul got really annoyed and angry by these people thinking that she was just only giving them gifts. "I am not a catering shoe saleswoman! You are supposed to tremble as my menacing footwear pinches your feet like nobody's business!"
"Do you have these in an eight?" A teen girl asked him as she held up a pair of high-heels.
She looked confused by this until she made a look of irritation. "...ARGH! What do I have to do to get people to tremble around here?" And the Box Ghoul phased through the ceiling and flew off back to the Ghost Zone again.
"Looks like the shoe is on the other foot now!" Dani called after her with her hands on her hips, but her friends stared at her oddly. "What? It was the only shoe pun I had."
Back in the Ghost Zone, the Box Ghoul wasn't flying to her warehouse for another useless box she had, but she instead flew to another realm in the Zone. She was finally sick and tired of humans and ghosts not taking her seriously, seeing her as more of a joke than a villainess lately.
"Ignore me, will they? Well, they shall know real terror when they see the most dreaded box in my collection!" The Box Ghoul exclaimed to herself before she made a look of uncertainty. "Which is, uh...actually not in collection as such." She then smiled evilly again. "Yet."
She flew into an ancient Greek acropolis realm as she made her way into a palace. A ghost with hundreds of eyes witnessed the Box Ghoul flying into a Greek building with confusion. The comedic ghost flew across a hallway and hovered in front of a purple box with a green monster head on top that glowed blue with energy while she gazed upon the box in awe with wide eyes.
"Pandora's Box..." She said in awe as she admired it up closely before she smirked. "Those of us in the box trade have dreamed of this. The most concentrated collection in the Ghost Zone, or any realm, in a conveniently compacted carrying case." She then grabbed it from its place and held the box up in the air in triumph. "And now, it is MINE!" However, the ghost suddenly heard doors being opened before a giant green three-headed dog ghost ran out and growled menacingly at the Box Ghoul, who recoiled nervously. "Hehe, nice doggies."
"What's going on?!" A woman ghost in Greek battle armor demanded from the second floor in the shadows. "Who's down there?!"
"Uh, I'm from the warehouse, just picking up your box for storage." The Box Ghoul then smiled wickedly while she narrowed her eyes. "And by storage, I mean using it to bring the world to its knees." She then laughed evilly as she flew underneath the dog, phased out of the building, and escaped the palace with the box while the dog's heads barked loudly.
"Who dares steal from Pandora?! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!"
The Box Ghoul then flew into Skulka's Island once she was safe. "You stole from Pandora?" Skulka's voice asked, catching the Box Ghoul's attention when she turned around and found the huntress ghost glaring down at her warningly. "Not wise!"
"Not bowing to me is not wise-wait, is that right? The double negative sounds kind of confusing. Anyway, prepare to meet the ultimate evil!" The Box Ghoul shouted before she opened the box, but all that came out was a tiny, seemingly harmless unicorn. The Box Ghoul cocked an eyebrow in confusion at this anti-climax. "Huh?"
Skulka grinned like it was just a joke. "You? Terrifying? You're dreaming." She then witnessed the Box Ghoul turn red as she growled menacingly at the huntress ghost while she glared. Skulka's eyes went wide in somewhat surprise. "Don't my ears deceive me? You almost sound...frightening."
That made the Box Ghoul immediately cease her growling when she smiled brightly. "Really? Awesome!"
Then, the unicorn suddenly transformed into a larger, more monstrous version of a unicorn. It roared as it fired a blue beam of energy from its horn at Skulka, who yelped as she avoided its attack and chased her across the Ghost Zone.
The Box Ghoul laughed evilly as the box's blue energy circulated around her. "It's so cool to sought evil!" She said to herself before she flew off to the human world to cause some real terror she has been hoping for.
In Amity Park, it was picnic day in the park. Everyone had a lot of fun with either playing frisbee with each other, barbecuing hot dogs and/or burgers, flying kites, and even bringing their own food. One woman got hit in the head by a frisbee, which made a few kids laugh hysterically. Dani bought a sandwich for the picnic, Tina made herself a hamburger, and Sam made himself a bowl of salad.
Before they could begin to dig in, Dani's father, Matt, walked up to his daughter with some new boots. "Dani, you kids can come over and eat with us, ya know." He said to her with his arms crossed until there was suddenly an explosion nearby, which made him flinch in surprise.
He turned around and saw that Jackie has burnt herself while she tried to light up the barbecue grill. James covered his face behind his book in embarrassment while Jackie stood there and her grill fell to the grass.
"Uh, we're fine here, and by fine I mean both safer and less humiliated." Dani said with a hint of embarrassment.
"Nice boots, Mr. Fenton." Sam said when he noticed Matt's new boots.
"Thanks, I got 'em free from some caterer at the mall. They blister my feet a little, but being a model sometimes requires a little pain." Matt said with his arms crossed.
"I hear that. War it up, Mr. F." Tina said as she laid back on the blanket and enjoyed the warm temp. Matt then walked back to his wife to make sure that she was okay.
"So, what do you think the Box Ghoul will try next?" Sam asked Dani.
"Well, I don't care. If I hear 'Beware!' one more time, I'll-" She said while she was about to take a bite of her sandwich.
"BEWARE!" The Box Ghoul exclaimed when she suddenly appeared above them with an evil look on her face.
Dani sighed in annoyance while she made a flat look. "Sigh without my sandwich."
The Box Ghoul then held up Pandora's Box into the air and revealed it to the trio. "Behold! The Box of-"
"Pandora?" Sam said in surprise when he immediately recognized the box's designs.
"Pan-what-a?" Dani and Tina asked in confusion as they cocked their eyebrows.
"Pandora! The Ancient Greek legend?" The girls only blinked at their goth friend. Sam sighed in frustration when he remembered that they weren't much of readers. "Greek Mythology says that Pandora had a box that held all the world's evil." He stared back up at the box in awe. "I didn't think it was real."
"Well, it looks real to me." Tina said as she frowned in suspicion. "Figures of evil boxes just floating around in the Ghost Zone."
Sam then grabbed Dani by her arms with an urgent look on his face. "Dani, that box should never be opened!"
"You mean like this?!" The Box Ghoul said evilly before she opened up the box and hundreds of bats flew out of the tiny container. "Creatures of the night, unleash my fright! Ha, I'm so totally a poet." For the first time in a long time, the citizens finally screamed in horror when the bats began to attack them. "Slithering snakes, raise my stankes!" She then released hundreds of snakes from the box as everyone ran away.
The tiny serpents then surrounded at Sam and Tina's feet. "Ahh! Why did it have to be snakes?!" Tina exclaimed in fear.
"Dani, this is serious! Do something!" Sam shouted.
"Okay, I'm going ghost!" Dani said as she ran behind a tree and changed to her ghost form.
She brought out her Boo-Staff with a determined look as flew straight towards the Box Ghoul. She gasped when Dani tried to swing her staff at her, but she quickly moved out of the way with her new reflexes.
"Beware my am-fear-bians!" She shouted before she fired hundreds of frogs from the box. They all hopped off of Dani dead on when she shouted before they sent her falling onto the grass with a grunt.
"Girl, you okay?" Tina asked as she and Sam ran up to her.
"I've never been frogged before." She said before a frog landed on her hair, confusing her a little.
"If I remember the legend correctly, each time the lid is lifted, the evil that's released gets worse." Sam said with his arms crossed.
"Really? Then who put snakes before frogs? I mean, seriously?" Tina asked rhetorically with her hands on her hips.
Dani stood back up to her feet and deactivated her Boo-Staff while she placed it back into her pocket. "How do you know all about this box?" Dani asked her friend.
"Hello, goth. Dark and weird stuff is standard issue." He said as he showed her his 'Goth's Guide to Mythology' book.
Dani stared down the book before she looked back up at the Box Ghoul. "Well I'm sending this dark and weird box back where it came from, COD!" Dani said as she punched her fist in her hand, ready for action before she flew into the air again.
The Box Ghoul narrowed her eyes as she opened the box again and this time, a blue evil-looking pegasus emerged from the box of evil while it neighed before it charged straight towards Dani.
"Dani! Evil pegasus at three o'clock!" Sam warned as he pointed ahead.
"Pegi-who?" She asked until she yelped when she noticed the pegasus, but too late when it rammed right into her. Tina ran up a few steps to catch her, but she ended up flying right above the techno-geek and crashed right behind her instead.
Sam frowned at his friend as she stood up to her feet and rubbed her head. "You should really read more." They gasped when they saw the pegasus hovering right above them. Dani was about to attack it until Sam stopped her. "It's okay, I don't think it can do anything."
Unfortunately, it breathed blue fire and the trio scattered out of the way with yelps of surprise before Dani glared at her gothic friend. "Apparently you should read more, too." She then turned her attention back at the pegasus again. "Hey, horse-face! Do the words glue factory mean anything to you?"
She took off the the air again and threw a few ecto disks at the ghost pegasus. However, it neighed when it used its wings as a shield and did no apparent effect on it, making Dani's eyes go wide. It then expanded its wings and flapped them rapidly hard enough to cause huge gusts of wind when they began to blow everyone away while they tried to fight against it, but they all ended up tumbling across the grass.
The Box Ghoul then appeared on the pegasus' back. "Yee-hah! There's a new sheriff in town, and now it's time to meet my deputy...OF DEATH!" She exclaimed before she held the box high in the air, and something huge emerged from it as the trio watched in horror.
The smoke cleared to show a giant green ten-headed wingless dragon roar into the heavens, called the hydra in Greek myths.
"And suddenly, I miss the snakes." Tina said with wide eyes before they all broke into a run.
All the hydra heads breathed fire while Dani grabbed her and flew them away to avoid the fires. The hydra then growled at some random citizens and they ran for their lives while its heads breathed more fire at them. One girl tripped and looked up at the hydra as one of its head breathed fire at her. Luckily, Dani flew in between when she fired her ice energy at its fire and made it swallow her cold energy, making its head freeze instantly.
"Fight fire with ice I always say, or at least I'll start saying it now." She said with uncertainty on her face.
"I always say, fight fire with phlegm!" The Box Ghoul said from next to her, catching her attention.
Dani stared at her in confusion. "What?" The pegasus began to snort its nose, weirding her out. "That's just-" It then fired a snot rocket at her, sending her flying towards a tree. "GROSS!" She fell through the tree and crashed onto the grass, covered in mucus while it disgusted her. "Ack! Now I know how a tissue feels under all those boogers."
The Box Ghoul began to type in numbers in for her bounty. "Let's see...ten-headed dragon, snotty horse with wings!" She smiled evilly at her results. "Yes! My bounty increases!" She then accidentally lost her balance as she fell off of her horse and tumbled onto grass. However, her evil smile didn't leave her face when she rose. "Horror, dread, fear, and all because of me!" She then laughed mechanically while she flew back into the air as Sam and Tina watched from behind a tree.
"Is it me or is she actually starting to sound menacing?" Tina asked when she began to actually feel really frightened by the sudden change of the Box Ghoul.
"It's that box! It's like giving her evil energy!" Sam said as he narrowed his eyes at the thought.
Then, they turned around and suddenly found the hydra right behind them before they ran away just in time just as it breathed fire at them. They tried to run away, but then they were blocked by the snakes as it hissed at them. They shouted when one head breathed a fireball at them, but in a nick of time, Dani arrived to throw an ecto disk at the fireball, saving her friends briefly. She then flew between them before she created a huge ice shield to protect herself and her friends, but the hydra just continued to breath more fire at her.
The Box Ghoul hovered above the trio on her pegasus with an evil smirk. "And now, I will reign over your world and you will all bow to me, or face my wrath!" She shouted evilly before she took off while she laughed mechanically.
"Anytime you want to use more of that refrigerator power, go for it, girl!" Tina exclaimed when she noticed that the ice dome was melting from the intense heat.
"I'm trying!" Dani strained while she struggled to keep her ice shield up, but soon all of the heads continued to breath their fire at the dome. "I can't...hold off anymore!"
And then, the dragon was suddenly blasted by a beam of energy from out of nowhere. Dani halted her ice shield when they heard beeping as turned to the side and saw that it was coming from the Fenton RV. Jackie was at the wheel and James on top of the vehicle with a bazooka and a wild-looking glare in his face.
"Taste my fire, dragon-breath!" James exclaimed before he fired more energy beams from his bazooka at the dragon.
The RV screeched in front of the hydra as Matt poked his head out the window. "Ten heads, meet nine tails!" He shouted before he fired his Jack-o-Nine Tails at the hydra, wrapped three of its heads together, and it electrocuted them while they roared.
Jackie walked out of the RV with an ecto gun in her hands as she glared at the monstrous hydra. "I don't have a clever quip!" She shouted before she fired a large amount of energy from her gun at the hydra, enough to make it roar in pain before it stormed its way into the city.
Dani turned to her friends. "You two stay here and help my parents track that thing down before it destroys the rest of the city. I'm going to the Ghost Zone to find this Pandora." She told them.
"You think she help defeat the Box Ghoul?" Tina asked.
"Well, it's her box." She glanced at all the bats, snakes, frogs, and the hydra that were invading her entire town. "Maybe she can help me get it away from her and get all this...stuff back in it."
Sam examined his book. "According to the book, her realm is weird and dangerous. Use it to guide you." He said before Dani landed in front of him and took the book from his hands. They both smiled at each other for a brief moment until Sam blushed a little and he cleared his throat while he rubbed his arm sheepishly. "It was the last copy at the Skulk 'n Lurk, so just...be careful, okay?"
"I'll be back. I promise." And with a reassuring smile, she took off to Fenton Works so she could make her way into the Ghost Zone and begin her journey to find Pandora.
Jackie, Matt, and James all ran to Sam and Tina just after Dani left. "Sam! Tina! Oh, thank goodness you're safe. Have you seen Dani?" Matt asked in worry.
"She's at school/Fenton Works!" Sam and Tina said in unison, coming up with different excuses.
"Uh, the important thing is she's safe." James said as he covered for his little sister's friends.
"You kids better stay with us. We can form a battle line and hunt down that ghost dragon together." Matt said as he held up his bazooka to emphasis that he was ready for action.
"And with his fire, we can make s'mores!" Jackie said before she held up a ziploc bag full of graham crackers, chocolate bars, and marshmallows with a bright look of her face. "Ha! I knew carrying around graham crackers, chocolate bars, and marshmallows would pay off someday!"
"You had me at s'mores, Mrs. F. Bazooka me up!" Tina said with determination as she punch her fist into her palm while Sam smirked in agreement.
Meanwhile, in the Ghost Zone, Dani flew across the void while she read off of Sam's book about the myth of Pandora's Box and all of the evils it contained it was capable of unleashing upon the Earth.
"Plagues, pestilences, boy bands...whoa, this is one evil box." Dani complemented to herself until she then froze when she suddenly heard Skulka screaming in fear. She watched her pass by her with her jetpacks with three monstrous unicorns chasing after her at her tail. "Unicorns? Now these I know!"
The unicorns then blasted Skulka's jetpack off and she began to lose altitude with a trembled yelp. Dani quickly swooped down to her rescue and caught her by her arms. "I won't tell anyone about this if you don't." She said to the ghost girl.
"Deal!" Dani then tried to fly away from the ghost unicorns as they fired more beams from their horns. However, they ended up blasting at Skulka's Island instead, much to her disappointment when she frowned.
"Oh, that's great! I just had the whole place painted! Why are you holding me and not punishing the Box Ghoul? This is her doing!"
"I'm gonna let Pandora punish the Box Ghoul, if I can find her." She finally placed Skulka inside an icy cave as a hiding spot. "You should be safe here."
They both watched as the unicorns galloped past the cave. Skulka sighed with a look of perplexity on her face while she glanced back at Dani. "I never understood why people think those things are cute." They peaked over the cave exit and watched as the ghost unicorns galloped away across the Ghost Zone. Skulka then pointed directly at them. "Follow those beasts and you'll find Pandora! Look for the Acropolis!"
Dani nodded before she took off to follow the unicorns. "I sure hope things are under control at Amity Park."
Unfortunately, Dani spoke too soon to herself since everything in Amity Park was completely out of control. People screamed and ran for their lives from all the snakes, bats, frogs, and the hydra (all lead by the Box Ghoul) while the evil creatures continued to invade and attack all of the innocent humans in the city.
"Things are out of control in Amity Park!" Lena Thunder said to the camera, trying to ignore all the chaos that was happening around her. "Snakes, frogs, bats, and one ten-headed monster are wreaking havoc. And overseeing it all appears to be a ghost with an inferiority complex who just wants attention. Well, she's certainly got mine. This is Lena Thunder saying-" She got cut short when the hydra scorched her, making her shriek in fear as she tried to pry open the doors to the studios. "WOULD SOMEBODY PLEASE LET ME INSIDE NOW?!"
Sam fired his bazooka at the hydra while Tina focused more on firing her gun at the snakes. "Forget the snakes, Tina! Aim for the dragon!" Sam scolded in annoyance.
"You battle your phobia, I'll battle mine!" The techno-geek retorted back to him before she continued to blast down at the snakes.
"If we were battling my phobia, that dragon would be a giant, fire-breathing prep!" Sam then went back to firing at the hydra ghost with his ecto-bazooka. "I sure hope Dani found Pandora, because things are getting out of control here right now."
Back inside the Ghost Zone, Dani continued to follow the unicorns across the void just as Skulka told her to do. She gasped when she found herself in the Greek Acropolis realm of Greek Mythology before she landed behind a green ghost woman with a red toga dress and a bottom half of a snake.
"Um, excuse me, ma'am, but can you tell where I can find Pan-WHOA!" Dani exclaimed in surprise when the ghost lady sharply turned around, showing her snakes for hair while they all hissed menacingly at the girl, Medusa. "Nasty split ends!"
"You dare to disturb Medusa?!" She shouted angrily before she wrapped her snakes around Dani's wrist, making her yelp in surprise. "Gaze into my eyes so that I may turn you to stone!"
Dani immediately clenched her eyes shut and she looked away. "Maybe all you need is a little condition." She fired a weak ghost beam from her hand and burnt up Medusa's head, leaving her bald and surprised as she gazed up at her now bald head while it smoked.
"AHHH! MY PETS! Oh, my precious pets! A bubby-bubby!" She then slithered away, screaming, while she held onto her bald head.
"Actually, that's a really good look for you!" Dani then flew into the air again before she read off of Sam's book again. "'Pandora's castle rests on the other side of the lightning arch, you will be amazed how easy it is to find'." She then hovered in front of a maze. "'Amazed'? A maze." She made a dull look on her face like it should have been obvious. "Duh."
Dani had a feeling that in order to reach Pandora and ask for her help, she would have to face obstacles and monsters guarding her maze and find her way up to her castle.
She glanced at a sign that was more like a warning sign. "'This area protected by Minotaurs'? What are those again?" She was about to study at the book. However, she saw two minotaur ghosts on either side of her, growling with maces in their hands as she glanced between them nervously. "Uh, ole? No need to-" The half-bull ghosts immediately began to charge straight at her. "ATTACK!" She quickly turned herself intangible and allowed the minotaurs to collide with each other when they ended up knocked each other out instead. She hovered above them and grinned down at the bull men ghosts. "Now that's what I call bull-headed."
Dani continued down the maze until she suddenly found a centaur ghost standing in front of her with his arms crossed. "Woah!" She shouted in surprise as she halted in mid air. "Uh, I don't mean woah like a horse, I mean...can you tell me how close I am to Pandora's castle?" The centaur growled when it only fired beams from his front hooves, sending Dani flying backwards to the bushes. "Does that mean you don't know?" It continued to growl while it fired more rays at her, only for her to turn intangible again. "Dude! You need to chill!" She then fired her ice energy to the ground, allowing the ice to freeze over the grass and made the centaur slip onto the ground. Dani then fired a ghost beam and sent him sticking through the maze bush. "The next time I see you, better be on a merry-go-round!"
Dani flew down the corner, until she suddenly tried to stop, but ended up bumping into a giant purple cyclops ghosts rear. It turned around and roared loudly before it fired a purple beam at Dani's chest, sending her tumbling across the ground. It fired more rays while she luckily dodged them and she ran down the maze with the cyclops pursuing her. She turned and fired her own ghost beam at his eye, making it roar in agony as it stomped away in pain.
"Better get some sunglasses, pal!" She called out, until she grimaced at the joke. "Uh, well sunglass! Uh...oh, nevermind."
Dani finally made out of the maze and made her way up to Pandora's castle. She flew past one of Walka's policemen while he interviewed the ghost with a hundred eyes. "Can you tell me which way the Box Ghoul fled?" The guard asked.
"Uh, I don't know. I really didn't get a good look." The hundred-eyed ghost said as he placed his hands on his hips, which sounded rather ironic with what he just said.
Dani landed at the front door and rang the doorbell. Pandora answered as the ghost girl stared up at her nervously when she noticed how big she really was than she first thought. "Uh, Pandora?" She asked reluctantly.
"Who wants to know?!" She demanded out loud to the ghost girl.
Dani tried to smile innocently. "Uh...I-I found your box."
Pandora's eyes narrowed in anger, but she allowed Dani to tell her the entire story of where the thief who stole her box was.
Back in Amity Park, the hydra ghost continued to wreaking a lot of havoc as it breathed more fire from their mouths while people scattered out of the way. The Fentons, Sam, and Tina continued to fire their bazookas at it, desperately trying to protect their hometown from the evils of Pandora's Box, that was still under the Box Ghoul's possession.
"Get a load of my boom box!" The Box Ghoul shouted before she opened Pandora's Box once again and fired an energy ball from it.
It ball exploded directly in front of Jackie when she cringed from the sudden explosion. "OWW!" She exclaimed out loud.
"Mom!" James shouted in worry.
"Jackie, are you alright?" Matt asked in concern as he turned to her.
"I bite my tongue in my mouth." She muffled with her tongue sticking out.
"Foolish humans! The reign of the Box Ghoul has only begun!" The Box Ghoul shouted to the heavens as she trembled her hand dramatically.
"Then this is going to be the shortest rule in history." Dani said from behind her with her arms crossed while Pandora descended right by her side.
The Box Ghoul looked at the giant woman ghost nervously with fear in her eyes. "Uh oh. I-I mean, uh...UH OH FOR YOU! It is time you, uh, crumble and, uh, you know, fear me!" She then glanced at the box on her lap. "Uh, FEAR MY BOX OF TERROR!"
"Your box? YOUR BOX?!" Pandora exclaimed angrily as she narrowed her eyebrows at the little thief who stole her box in the first place.
The Box Ghoul realized what she just said. "Oh poop."
"THAT IS MY BOX! You stole it from me and for that, YOU MUST PAY!" She then fired her blue ghost beams at the Box Ghoul.
However, she ended up opening the box as it absorbed her energy attack and redirected it back at her, sending her flying away several feet. Pandora quickly recovered and was about to charge straight at her again, but she fired her own ghost beam at her, sending her flying backwards once again as she grunted.
She looked amazed at what she just did as she stared down at her hand letting off vapor. "Whoa!" She exclaimed.
Dani flew after Pandora while she regained her air. "The Box Ghoul has never been this powerful before!" Dani said to her.
"Oh, she's opened the box so many times, she's now filled with its energy!" Pandora told the ghost girl gravely before she narrowed her eyes again. "I thought I could handle her alone, but...I need your help."
"Okay, but I should warn you, I'm not very well read."
The ground underneath the residences of Amity Park suddenly began to crack under the wrath of the Box Ghoul with Pandora's Box, making them trip and scatter out of the way while they all screamed.
"The whole world shall crumble before me!" The Box Ghoul shouted to the heavens again as she smirked at the humans.
"Why don't you show us how?" Dani asked sarcastically as she flew straight at her before she fired her ecto beams at the Box Ghoul.
She glared with provoke when she only opened the box and absorbed her attack before she redirected it back at her. It blasted at her dead on, sending her crashing into a building wall with a grunt. She quickly recovered from his counterattack and flew at her again, but she fired red eye beams with a shout. Dani froze in mid air and gasped before her eyes glowed blue with ice energy before she fired her icy eye beams herself while she froze her beam attack. She then fired more ice beams as she trapped the Box Ghoul and the pegasus in a block of ice while they began to plummet towards the ground. However, the box gained heat when it melted the ice and freed the Box Ghoul and the pegasus while they regained their air.
"How 'bout you give me the box before anyone gets hurt." Dani said to her foe.
"Haha! You are the only one getting hurt!" The Box Ghoul pointed out as she smirked at the ghost girl.
"Yeah, I noticed that, too." Dani then smirked when she noticed that Pandora snuck up behind the Box Ghoul while she glared at the little thief. "But that is about to change!"
"Huh?" The Box Ghoul glanced behind her with confusion. Before she could react, Pandora shouted angrily when she fired a purple ecto-ball from her flaming hair and knocked her off his pegasus. She startled the winged horse into flying away. "Come back! I command you!"
"You command NOTHING! AND YOU DO NOT STEAL FROM ME!" Pandora shouted angrily again just as she fired another energy ball at the Box Ghoul. She sent her crashing into a building before she collapsed into an alleyway, all weakened, hurt, and disoriented.
Dani landed in front of her as she took the box of evil away from her hand. "I did ask nicely." She said before she smiled at the ghost woman and handed the box back to its rightful owner.
Pandora smiled at her box in relief. "My most treasured possession." She said in happy relief, until she glared at the Box Ghoul offendedly and angrily. "How dare you betray it by using it for evil?"
She fired a lightning bolt at her, shocking her with pain as she spoke between getting shocked. "OW! Please stopping hurting the savage-OW!-deadly-OW!-Box Gho-OW!"
"Wait a minute, the box isn't supposed to be used for evil?" Sam asked in confusion when he heard the whole thing as he and Tina walked up to Pandora with their bazookas in their hands.
"But I thought it contained all the worst malevolents in the universe." Tina pointed out.
"It does, because I created it to contain it all. I was trying to help rid the Ghost Zone of all this...malevolents, as you say, and make both our worlds better and less evil. Underneath all this fury and rage, I'm really a very kind and thoughtful gal." Pandora explained to the trio before she summarily fired another hateful ecto blast straight at the Box Ghoul with an angry shout. The trio duck their heads while she sent the evil comedic ghost through the wall.
"OW! So much pain…" The Box Ghoul groaned in agony.
"You know, if you show us how to use the box correctly, we could collect all the evil for you." Dani offered as she glanced back up at Pandora again.
"Oh thank you, Miss Phantom, but you've done so much already. Besides, this is the easy part." She said as she turned her box upside down, revealing a switch with 'SPEW' and 'RECLAIM'. "I knew that spew switch was going to come back to haunt me."
She switched her box to 'RECLAIM' before she opened up her box and began to reclaim all the evil the Box Ghost unleashed upon Amity Park. The hydra, bats, snakes, and frogs all returned into the box and as soon as everything was back inside, Pandora closed it shut.
She then glared at the Box Ghoul again, who has returned to her original color after the energy of the box left her.
"You will face punishment for what you have done." Pandora said as she grabbed her by her hand and held her close to her face. "And you have a lot of cleaning up to do, both here and in the Ghost Zone." She then held her towards Team Phantom while they all smiled at her cleverly. "You also need to tell everyone you're sorry."
"Yes, ma'am. Beware...my apology!" She said before Pandora lifted her up in the air again.
"Hmm, it's a start, now…" Pandora then smiled with anticipation and held onto her stomach. "I wouldn't mind one of your sandwiches. Beating you to a pulp really worked up an appetite."
"I've got s'mores!" Jackie mused happily as she held out a plate of chocolate bars, graham crackers, and marshmallows.
"PERFECT!"
Dani smiled at the sight, happy everything has returned to normal. Well, at least for the moment, and she has probably learned her lesson to take things a little more seriously with her enemies, even if they could be just as ridiculous as someone like the Box Ghoul.
Inside the Ghost Zone, the Box Ghoul was forced to cut Pandora's bushes as part of her punishment, after she finished cleaning up Amity Park from all the damage she has brought upon the city and its good citizens.
A couple of ghosts floated to a nearby tree and gasped before they screamed in fear at the Box Ghoul before they flew away in a hurry. She hovered up to the tree with a wanted picture of herself and her new bounty.
"Bounty fifty dollars?" She said before she smiled at her accomplishment. She got smacked in the face by a chicken leg, making her smile drop with a yelp.
"Back to work!" Pandora ordered while she had some sandwiches with Dani Phantom, who floated near her lazily with her legs crossed. She invited the ghost girl for a little victory picnic, as a debt to her for her help in defeating the little ghost thief who stole her treasured possession, all for world domination.
"Yes, ma'am."
Dani then used her telekinesis with her ecto-energy to lift a rake into the air. "BEWARE!" She exclaimed mockingly while she handed the tool to the Box Ghoul, who only glared at her in annoyance before she returned to work. Dani giggled a little at her small joke. "Hey, that is kind of fun to say."
