Ch. 6

Tucker and Sam stared into the portal.

"Okaaaaay...this is not going to be a good thing," Tucker said, dumbfounded.

"Thanks for stating the obvious," Sam said grouchily, "We gotta help him!"

Jack stared too, completely taken by surprise by everything that had happened. He started to come out to help when Tomatomachu came flying back in through the portal with a CRASH. It hit the wall. Jack jumped back into his hiding spot, completely scared.

Danny came flying back too, free. "Hey Tuck, hi Sam. That net burned up immidietly when we entered the ghost zone. Seemed like it was VERY badly made. grin And it seems my leg isn't giving off smoke anymore! Turns out our friend did help, though it doesn't seem like Toe-ma wanted to." Danny glared at the ghost.

But the ghost had seen Jack and was staring at him. Jack stared back, completely scared.

"Any last words, Toe-ma?" Danny shot upwards, ready for the final hit.

Toma looked at Danny with an evil stare. "Only this-ghost-boy say hi to Daddy!" it yelled, and grabbed Jack and held him upwards with its small front claws.

Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Jack all stared at each other. Thoughts ran through their heads...disbelief...anger...fear...but mostly confusion. Danny got his voice back first.

"D..d...dad? What...are you doing here?!?" he said to his dad. But Jack couldn't reply because he was being squeezed so tightly. "You let him go!" Danny yelled, ready to charge.

Tomatomachu grinned evilly again. "Ghost-boy dare hit? Daddy here. Ghost-boy hit Tomatomachu, ghost-boy hit Daddy," it said with a smirk.

Danny didn't know what to do.
