Walker was thrown instantly away, his back slamming into the wall by the entrance. The ghost holding Tucker released him as he, too, was blasted away. Jazz took the opportunity and forced herself backwards into the guard. Her sudden action threw him off balance, and made him release her. Jazz dug the thermos out of her pocket and opened it up, instantly sucking in the ghost. She didn't waste any time and took aim at the rest of the guards. She didn't get them all. Some of them managed to fly away, but most of them were sucked inside the thermos, including Walker and the ghost that was supporting Sam.
The unconscious girl dropped onto the ground without the ghost to support her. Tucker got to his feet, turned around and ran forward, picking Sam up off of the ground. "You okay?" Jazz demanded.
Tucker nodded. "I'm more concerned with the fact that Danny might bring the whole place down."
The two glanced around them. The entire chamber was cracking. They looked towards Danny, unsure of how to force their way past the powerful, green waves of energy coming from him.
All at once, the stone obelisk cracked, crumbled, and was blown apart. Debris flew towards them, and Jazz instinctively screamed in her panic, squeezing her eyes shut. But no boulders impacted them. She finally looked up, finding that they had been encased in a pink dome. Vlad was floating above them, his hand extended in their direction. Once the debris from the obelisk stopped raining down, he released the dome and landed on the ground near them. "The anti-ecto walls of the chamber are reflecting Danny's scream back inwards, amplifying it," he quickly explained.
"We have to stop him, or he's going to kill us all," Tucker pointed out, his voice high and squeaky due to his panic.
"But he has to destroy the orb, doesn't he?" Jazz reminded.
"Get back to the Speeder and get Samantha to safety," Vlad ordered. "I'll get Danny."
"I'm not leaving him," Jazz protested, taking a step forward.
Vlad rounded on her. "Yes, you are. Or do you want Maddie to lose two children today?"
Jazz's eyebrows drew together. Vlad was right. However hard this was for her, she had to trust that Vlad would get Danny. Otherwise, her mom and dad would lose them both at once and never know why.
Jazz took one of Sam's arms and draped it over her shoulders, helping Tucker support their friend. The three raced as fast as they could up the stairs.
