[A/N] – Muse Inspiration Alert! Here are 4 new chapters for you, my dear loyal readers! As you will notice, I skipped a few episodes. I did not find them that good for character development and the majority of them focused more on Danny. So, I decided to move to one of my favourite episodes. Mostly, because I had the greatest idea (a long time ago) to use this as a chance to make an extra chapter of mine.
This episode is the perfect foundation and reason for my idea to bring Vlad and Lina a little bit closer, as it has also been requested by many of you. It will also provide a great deal of character development (from how I see it in my mind), and then we can head to 'Mother Instincts' episode (another one, you guys have requested a lot). Enough about me blabbering around, I will let you explore and find out everything on your own.
Do not forget to leave comments about anything you want. From reactions to thoughts, ideas and whatever else you want to see. I am looking forward to them.
A few months have passed since the imprisonment and escape of the two Halfa from Walker's prison. A lot of things had taken place in those past few months, ensuring the two adopted siblings would have their hands full and they sure did. They dealt with all kinds of new enemies, like a ghost named Amber that grew more powerful as people cheered for her and her music. She even managed to make Danny fall in love with Sam, which made the mission to take down the female ghost rock star even harder.
Thankfully, the spell was broken by Sam kissing Dash to hurt Danny and then Tucker sang off-key to wake up everyone else and stop them from worshipping Amber. All the while Danny and Lina fought the ghost rock star, in quite a battle.
Yet, that was only the beginning of their problems. Technus returned soon after in an online game the four friends were playing and were using its powers to cheat and become more powerful. Lina eventually figured out how to do the same and managed to even the ground but it was not easy without Danny, who had to study hard and pass a failed test to be allowed to play the computer game.
Soon after, they had bigger troubles when a new psychologist was moved to the school, and she ended up being a ghost that fed on the sadness and self-loathing of teens to make herself look younger and keep her powerful. With Jazz's unnecessary intervention, the duo almost lost but ultimately found a solution.
There was also the incident with Jazz falling head over heels for a bad boy with a motorcycle named Johnny 13. Another ghost pretending to be human, with a live shadow that brought bad luck to everything and a plan to use Jazz as a gateway to free his real girlfriend from the ghost zone.
One could spend hours narrating all that had happened in the past few months. The Two Halfa and their friends came closer during those tough times and it was their teamwork and friendship that in the end helped them win all those battles. It allowed both Lina and Danny to grow more powerful, especially for the primer. She, during the fight with the Halloween Knight, perfected her technique of shooting ectoplasmic energy from her eyes. Something she had done accidentally once when they first fought Plasmius but failed to bring it up again until that fateful and scary Halloween night.
Now, one of their biggest challenges was about to begin as the world they knew and worshipped, would soon change forever. All, thanks to a certain Ghost Chief with a personal Vendetta against them…
In the Ghost Zone, Walker had taken it personally to bring back almost every escapee and return them to his newly-made prison. He was ruthless in catching all the ghosts and ensuring they would not escape again this time. Yet, there were two ghosts that he had yet to catch but he soon would and he had the perfect plan for it.
He stood with his second in command, a ghost guard named Bullet, as some lower-graded guards opened the door to a cell. Out of it jumped a werewolf ghost creature named Wulf. He jumped over everybody and unsheathed his claws. However, he did not use them on the guards but instead swiped at the air and create a tear in the dimension.
"He's tearing a hole out of our dimension! He's gonna escape!" one of the guards shouted.
Walker, though, remained calm. "No, he's not. That would be against the rules" He then pressed a button on his wrist, which activated a shock collar on Wulf's neck, causing him to scream in pain and fall back while the portal he created disappeared. "That's a nifty little power you have, Wulf. The ability to claw into the real world at will. It's one of the reasons I need you. You want that collar off, don't you? " he asked the werewolf ghost, who pulled on his collar desperately, indicating that he did. "I have two more perps to catch. " he grabbed two pictures and showed them to him, being of Lina and Danny in prison garb and ghost form. "Half kids, half ghosts."
Wulff sniffed the picture and spoke in an unknown and old language. "You want to destroy?"
"Destroy them? No. I want revenge. And I need them alive for that. And since Danny & Angel Phantom set my prisoners free, I wanna turn their world into the prison they escaped. Take my crew. *The guards smiled evilly* Cause as much havoc as you can and sniff these kids out for me. And you'll be free of me forever. Do we have a deal?"
It had been two full days since the ghost attack started. Ghosts rampaged the streets, causing chaos and many injuries to innocent humans. Normal police and even the army could barely do anything with their human guns and the endless hours of terror simply continued. Lina and Danny worked overtime to try and do something. With only one thermos, they could not separate and the ghosts were too many for them.
Despite their best efforts, the ghosts kept coming and coming. Their Thermos was almost full or they bet it would be soon if the situation continued. It took them hours to capture a lot of ghosts but there was much more left roaming.
By the afternoon of the second day, they were both exhausted. Sitting in the amphitheatre of their school, they tried to ease their minds as they sat next to their friends. It did not help that a live-news broadcast was shown to them, with the reporter talking about the attacks.
Even the Mayor himself had shown up, to address all the students of this small city. He stood behind the podium and continued his speech. "…Now, I know you kids are scared because ghosts are scary, scary things, *The kids all look unphased* but I came to your school, not because this is a great photo opportunity... but because you, children are our future... Voters. *Laughs at his joke as photos are taken of him* And now, I'd like to turn this over to Principal Ishiyama, who is here to inform you of some exciting rules and restrictions."
The strict woman walked to the Podium, taking the stand as the Mayor stood by her side and posed for more pictures of the journalists that had also attended his speech. Then, everyone focused on the Principal.
"Due to the continuing and escalating ghost threat, here's the way we're going to limit your freedom. 1: Students are to have no contact with these spirits. 2: All students will be escorted to their homes directly after school. And 3: By order of the Mayor's new security advisor, a nine o'clock curfew."
Those rules seemed to agitate the students, including our heroes, who knew it would only be more trouble for them to hunt down the ghosts and stop them.
"A curfew!?" Sam repeated a horrified look on her face.
Tucker was in a similar state. "An escort!?"
Danny folded his hands in front of his chest and grumbled. "OK, who's the idiot security advisor that came up with those lame ideas?"
His answer came right after as his parents walked on stage with a megaphone each. Lina paled and hang her head down in shame. "Why am I not surprised" she mumbled, feeling the need to just turn intangible and sink into the ground.
Jack shouted through the megaphone. "Fear not, young ones. We're here to make sure this school is prepared for any ghost emergency."
Maddie followed right after. "You must be cautious. At any time one of these ectoplasmic malefactors *spots Danny and Lina in the crowd* Hi, sweeties! *focuses back to the crowd* -could appear out of nowhere."
Danny looked around nervously. "Time to sit in the back where nobody can notice us?"
Sam gave a nod. "Time to sit in the back where nobody can notice us."
Lina glanced around at her friends. "What are we waiting for?" she asked as they all stood up and started to move to the very back.
At the same time, a dimension portal was torn nearby. Wulf popped his head out and sniffed for Danny & Lina. He popped back in and pointed at the portal to Walker.
Walker smirked. "Alright, Wulf. You know what to do. Sniff out the people he's been in contact with."
Wulf jumped through the portal just as Bullet appeared next to Walker. "While we take over everybody Wulf sniffs out."
The Ghost Chief looked at the portal again. "I don't care if they know Wulf is there, but the rest of you, I want hidden. And remember, Angel Phantom is mine"
Walker, Bullet, and some guards went through the portal and waited to put their plan into motion.
Our heroes had moved to the very back but soon after, the ghost senses of both Lina and Danny went off. They started to look around in slight alarm.
"Oh no. You have got to be kidding me. Here? Now?" Danny questioned.
Suddenly, Wulf appeared onstage and frightened everyone. After jumping offstage, a guard appeared from behind Principal Ishiyama and took her over. Walker and two more guards took over Dash, Kwan, and Paulina, respectively. Sam and Tucker ran outside the room, along with everyone else.
Sam looked around and realized they were missing someone. "Where's Danny and Lina?"
Tucker looked around with her but could not see them either. "I think they are trying to go ghost, but there are too many people around."
Danny held Lina's hand as he got pulled amongst the crowd. The girl was trying to find a spot or a place for them to hide and transform. Before they could, Wulf appeared. He grabbed Danny with force, making him lose his grip on Lina's hand.
This immediately drew her attention and she pushed people out of the way as she turned to find Danny. She spotted him being held down by this new enemy and her eyes flashed red. Before she could do anything, Maddie came to their rescue.
"Get away from him!" she shouted and shot Wulff.
Lina watched impressed but then remembered Duck as the werewolf ghost flew above her and landed not that far away. She immediately rushed to help Danny and lift him off the floor as Jack was handed a cookie by Maddie.
Wulff groaned and glanced at Bullet and two guards behind Jack and Maddie. He then decided to make a run for it, before they could stop him.
Bullet noticed him. "He's making a break for it!" he wasted no time going after him with the guards.
Walker, possessing Dash's body, stood there with the other guards and glanced at Jack and Maddie, who ran after Wulff. "I wanna keep an eye on these two. They may be of use to us."
Jack was in the lead. "Come on!" he shouted at his wife as he run off and hit his head on the door.
He took a step back dizzy for a moment as Maddie approached him. "It's a pull, Jack" she corrected him, pulled the door open and ran off, followed by Jack.
"Well, she might." Walker corrected.
Outside Danny and Lina saw Wulf phase through the floor, looking scared. The duo ran after him but immediately bumped into Mr Lancer. Lina had to grab Danny by the back of his shirt to stop him from falling with full force at their teacher. However, they had no time to try and escape from him before they were spotted.
"Bridget Jones's Diary, Fenton! Stop your screaming and get over there into the safe area!" he grabbed their wrists and pushed them into a room with the other students. He closed the door and just then, he got overshadowed by a ghost guard.
With so many witnesses the two siblings could not transform and escape to find this mysterious werewolf ghost. They had agreed, however, that his appearance was not random. Along with the fact that he looked scared of something and they had to find out why and if they should be worried too.
Those questions and theories filled Lina's head as she and Danny were walked home by Jazz. Ghosts were filling the skies, causing their ghost senses to go off again and again, but they were unable to do anything yet.
Jazz did not seem happy about the whole situation either. "All I'm saying is mom and dad are gonna be very busy, and I have a lot of homework to do, so I'm not gonna be able to keep an eye on you two all night. I'm going to have to trust you to stay in your rooms and be so quiet, it's like you are not even there."
"What are you getting at?" Danny asked her, confused by her words as he opened the front door of their house.
They all came to a halt by the door as they noticed that there were people in their living room, and Jack was being loud as usual. "The first official after-school meeting of the Amity Park Ghostkateers is now in session."
Dash, Kwan, and Paulina were all in the living room, which made Lina's stomach turn in a bad way. She did not like how that looked and it did not help when her ghost senses went off once again because a ghost flew behind them.
Dash, still under Walker's possession, knelt in front of Jack, who knighted him with a piece of paper.
"I dub thee Ghostkateer number one." He said which made the possessed Dash smile evilly at the duo, especially Lina.
"I think I am going to be sick" she muttered, suddenly not feeling well at all.
Danny noticed and grabbed her hand. " Um... If you need us, we will be in our rooms being so quiet, it's like I'm not even there."
He started to pull his adopted sister up the stairs as their parents started to sing off-key to a very badly written song for their new group.
The next day came and half of it flew by, torturously slow for our heroes. Even during lunchtime, they could have no peace. Maddie was shouting at people through the megaphone to eat, while also embarrassing the two siblings by giving them their lunch in front of the full school as if it wasn't clear enough that they were related to the two people that made the new rules.
At the same time, there was Jack, who had brought the RV and used it to have a ghost-repelling shield around the lunch area, to ensure the kids were safe.
"Ha! This portable ghost shield only has enough power for fifteen minutes, so chew! Chew like the wind!" he shouted through the megaphone.
Everyone obeyed but Lina, who could only stare at her food. That bad feeling had not left her ever since last night and the constant attention on themselves, along with the roaming ghosts that she could not do anything about it, were slowly driving her insane.
On the other hand, Danny was stressed to the maximum and was not at his best either. Sam noticed and decided to address it.
"Danny, you okay?" she asked him
The male halfa looked at her. "Why would I not be? Just because the town's on high alert and my parents are at my school? *Quickly chews his food then holds his throat* And I'm chewing so fast I think I just swallowed my spork. *Phases his arm through his stomach and pulls the spork out* There we go. All I know is as soon as I get five free minutes, I'm gonna toss that blabbering hairball that started this back into the ghost zone!
Tucker leaned forward. "I don't think it was blabber. I think it was Esperanto."
This made Lina focus on him and lift an eyebrow in confusion. The first time she ever heard that language.
"Esper-wha-wha?" Sam repeated, equally confused.
"Esperanto. An artificial language from the 1800s. Now its only purpose is to give geeks a secret language to talk to other geeks." Tucker continued as a geeked appeared behind him.
"Hey, Tuck. "How is it going?"
"You know, (same) as always! *The geek walks away* I couldn't tell what that ghost was screaming, but he looked scared. Like he wanted help."
Lina frowned her white eyebrows and poked at her food. "Scared…yes…he looked like that for a moment but of what? What could scare that kind of beast? Enough to bring it into the human world?" she started to ask questions.
There was silence among them for a moment before Danny's and her ghost senses went off. It made their eyes double in size as they looked around them for a quick scan, hoping to see what caused this reaction of their ghost powers this time.
"Oh no. Here? Again?" Danny questioned.
"But we're chewing like the wind inside an anti-ghost zone. Where could the ghost be?" Tucker asked and on cue, the RV behind them blew up, causing the shield to vanish.
Sam pointed at the now-destroyed RV, with a crying Jack next to it. "Survey says, behind us."
