The group bounded down the steps -after a few questions from Danny's dad on their purpose for going downstairs. The halfa gestured to the portal, facing his friends, then glanced behind him to make sure it was closed.

"Nice... Lab...?" Danny turned back to see Jake touching one of the many devices in the room.

"Thanks! It's dad's lab. I just help clean every once in a while." Danny replied, and directed attention back to the portal. "This leads to the Ghost Zone. It's sort of hard to explain, but this portal opens a rip between our world and the ghost's world- Yes, Spud?"

Spud lowered his raised hand. "Can humans even go into this ghost zone thingy without being... exploded or something?"

"Well-" Danny went to reply, but Sam was faster.

"Yes and no. You see, we can enter the Ghost Zone with no problems, we could breath the air in it, It's just..." She paused as she thought of the correct phrasing.

"Difficult to move around." Tucker picked up Sam's thought train, "The only land masses in the Ghost Zone are separated by... space."

"Space? Like, stars and stuff?" Trixie asked.

"Not quite, more like air." Tuck replied.

"To get to the point, you can really only move around in there via flying." Danny answered, "which isn't that hard when you are a ghost."

"Oohh!" Spud smiled sloppily, "Thanks. I got it now."

"Do you guys want to see it?" Danny asked.

"See what?" Spud replied, confused.

"The Ghost Zone. Of course we want to." Jake replied to Spud, then turned to Danny.

"Will the Specter Speeder hold everyone?" Sam shot the question at Danny, and gestured to the vehicle.

"Sure it will." Danny walked over and opened the door, "So..." He counted the seats, "Tuck and Sam in front, Spud, Trixie, and Jake in the back seats. It might be a bit squished but-"

"What about you Danny?" Jake asked.

"Me? I'm half ghost, it's..." Danny paused, "...sorta... my domain, I'll fly." His reply was almost immediate.

Jake shrugged, and gestured for Trixie and Spud to get into the vehicle. It took a minute or two, but everyone managed to fit into the Specter Speeder.

"Alright, going ghost." Danny turned to his alter-ego and opened the portal, the swirling green opening a little dizzying. He nodded to Sam, then led the way into the ghost zone. Danny paused when the vehicle got through, letting the visitors get a good view of the foreign area. Danny spotted the expressions on Jake, Spud, and Trixie's faces and held back a giggle. He gestured forward with a wave of his hand and Sam moved the vehicle forward, following Danny.

Not much time passed, but Danny had guided the crew through most of the known parts of the ghost zone. Danny had just barely stopped to turn towards the specter speeder when he spotted Jake point over Danny's shoulder. Confused, Danny turned around, only to find a younger teen clothed in black staring angrily into the green void.

"W-what are you doing here?" Danny questioned as he floated towards the ninja kid Danny and Jake had been encountering.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" He replied
"...Floating around looking angry?"

"Nope, while I'd like to be doing that, I'm actually stuck here. Have been since lunch." He rolled his eyes, "Some hulking metal machine chased after me saying I'm a 'rare commodity' and he wanted me on his wall as a stuffed head." He paused to sigh, "Sucks since I had this really, uber long, important test today that I missed and will somehow have to make up."

"Well, that sucks. Would you like a ride?" Danny gestured to the Specter Speeder as it hovered closer to the two.

"Yeah sure." He spun around a bit more, still with his arms crossed.

"Gimme a second okay?" He turned back to the specter speeder and phazed his head through the tinted front window. "Got any room left? What's with the tinted window?"

"Well. This kinda is someone I didn't know. Better safe that sorry. And, no!" Sam flailed an arm behind her, "we have five people in this thing, it's only really supposed to hold four in the first place."

"So... no ride for the ninja?"

"No ride." Sam replied almost instantly

"Unless you carry him or something." Jake commented.

"Rope?" Tuck offered Danny, and he took it.

"Okay fine, let's just get back to my place as soon as we can."

Danny took a moment to turn back to the ninja, "grab a hold."

"Why?" The ninja took the end of the rope.

"You're hitching a ride, we don't really have extra seats right now but you still can get a ride outta here."

"Okay cool."
