ch. 17
Released
Sir Demetris turned intagible and felt along the wall. He pressed his hands against it and moved steadily along the structure. Finally, his hand went through it. He stood back and stared at the wall. He phased through it and landed inside a dark room.
Demetris blinked. His eyes finally got adjusted to the darkness, and he gasped in horror at the sight he saw. Sam, Tucker, and Jack jumped at the sound of his gasp through the wall.
"What is it?!?" Sam yelped in fear.
Sire Demetris couldn't answer at first. The sight his eyes showed him was the worst thing he had ever seen in his entire life--erm, afterlife. There were weapons of all kinds around the lab and a menacing, huge computer. There were buttons and knobs all over the control panel in front of it. There were buttons that were labeled "Destroy," "Kill," "Flood," and other distrubing ideas like that.
But that's not what scared Demetris the most.
In the center of the room, there was a gigantic glass cylinder filled with yellow liquid. There were a ton of wires around it, and some going into it. A huge, very scary machine sat at the top. Inside of it though...
...was Danny. Or at least Demetris assumed it was him. The body was uncouncious and mangled. It floated, bobbing slightly in the water. The hair was singed and torn ((yes, I messed up Danny's hair big time! XD)), the "ghost suit" ripped in places, and burned in others. Burns, scratches, and cuts on his entire body had turned the water around him red. And his leg was connected to a huge wire. The leg hung at a very odd angle, obviously broken in a few places.
The horrified Demetris floated shakingly over to the computer. He had to free the Halfa! iWhich button? I'm assuming it's either this yellow, red, or blue button...because they aren't labeled. I'll go in order. Yellow!/i He pressed the button. Immedietly a screen appeared on the computer. A gigantic monster, bigger than anything Demetris had ever seen, attacking all of the "diversion" ghosts appeared. The Phantom Mist was floating above it all, laughing.
Sir Demetris looked at the scene, a terrible feeling in his ghost stomach. iNoo! I've got to hurry. Red now!/i
He pressed the red button and nothing happened. He held it down and looked around. He gasped in complete horror when he saw sparks around the Halfa. Since Danny was uncouncious, he couldn't feel the pain. Demetris let go of the button with swift agility, horrified at what had just happened. The sparks died down immidietly.
iThat's how the Mist's controlling the Halfa! Okay, this button should work.../i he thought, pressing the blue button. The water drained from the tank. Finally, the tank opened up. Danny fell out of it, still uncouncious, with a crash. Immidietly, he changed into "Fenton," since he hadn't been able to inside the tank. Sir Demetris looked at the human boy and floated over to him. The only things that were fixed when he changed back were his clothes. Demetris removed the mask and snapped the wire in two, pulling the piece out of Danny's leg. Blood was all over from the open leg. Demetris grimaced.
iYuck/i he thought, and picked up Danny. ((Since this place neutrilizes human "ghosts," he could touch the human Danny.)) He turned them both intangible, and exited through the gap in the wall's security.
Jack, Sam, and Tucker immidietly ran over to them, yelling, "DANNY!" They stopped short when they saw Danny's condition.
"Oh no..." Tucker breathed.
"Is...is...he alive?" Sam whispered. She put her hand to his chest and held for a moment. She heard a faint iba-bump, ba-bump/i, and sighed in relief. "Yes. But just barely..."
Jack couldn't say anything. He took Danny from Sir Demetris and held him. He swallowed and found his voice. "Danny, my son. Please, please, be okay!" he wailed.
All of a sudden, the computer's alarm went off. "ATTENTION. Unauthorized DNA substance on floor. Warning. Warning. Caspsule open!" it bleaped, over and over again.
Demetris slapped his forehead, "The blood on the floor! I forgot that that stupid computer scans the room!" He hit his head over and over. "Stupid, stupid!"
Sam grabbed Tucker and Jack's arms, and started running down the hall. Demetris followed, still muttering, "Stupid, stuppiiiddddd..."
"C'mon! I'm sure that the Phantom Mist is NOT going to be happy when he hears this! Let's get out of here!" she yelled.
