"I'm goin' ghost!" Danny said, closing his eyes and waiting for the impact of the ectoplasmic blast that would be coming his way any second.
"Not soon enough!" He heard Jazz yell as something hit him...but it didn't hurt, and he was moving. "
"Jazz?" He opened his eyes just as a bright green light came at them. Jazz screamed.
"My leg!" she cried, biting back tears.
"Are you alright?" Danny asked, just as the rings disappeared.
"I'm fine--Behind you!" Jazz closed her eyes this time, and braced for an impact that never came. Slowly she opened her eyes, and saw her brother holding up a green shield that blocked the shots Clarice was taking at them.
"I don't get it!" Danny sighed. "Why did she suddenly go postal?"
"Because you hit her soft spot, idiot!" The harsh voice behind them caused them both to whirl and face whoever was there.
"ALLIE?" They asked at the same time. Danny looked down. "Not you too!" He put one of his hands towards Allie and the same green tint of a shield now formed a complete sphere around them.
"Jazz," he grunted as Allie came rushing at the shield, and started pounding on it with her glowing fists as well. "We'd better come up with something soon, because I don't know how long I can hold this up."

"So, you take out this ectoplasmic chromium Alloy core," Sam repeated, "and that's it?"
"Yep!" Jack grinned at her. "The force field is now down." He turned to Maddie. "Hit it!"
"Okay, original defense fields, while weak, are now in place," Maddie said. "Until we can figure out why this thing keep shorting out." Jack went to look over her shoulder and Sam turned to Tucker.
"Decoy phase please," she asked. Tucker glared at her.
"You guys owe me big," he whispered and walked over to bottom of the stairs. "GHOST!" He yelled! Maddi and Jack turned to face him immediately. "Up the stairs!" Tucker pointed. "He came down from the ceiling and went that way when he saw you!" He turned to Sam with a grin as the Fentons ran up the stairs. "Okay, that wasn't too bad," he grinned.
"Except you lied to them," she said drily.
"It was that or have Danny stuck in there." Sam regarded him for a moment. "Hey," he held up his hands, "When he tells them, I'll apologize to them."
"We'll both have to," Sam shook her head and grabbed a rope from the wall. "I'm going to see if I can see them," she said. "Hold this just in case. I don't want to end up in the Ghost Zone without a way back too." She finished tying the rope around her waist and walked over to the open porthole. She stuck her head inside, and took a look around the creepy green atmosphere.
"Danny? Jazz?" she called. No one answered, but there were a few figures several yards away from the porthole. It took her a moment to realize that two of them were attacking the two in the middle...but they kept hitting a shield of some sort.
"No," she whispered, and disappeared again. This was an unpleasant turn of events, although Sam couldn't say she was surprised..
