STORY:

Danny didn't even bother to make himself invisible as he phased through the walls separating the classroomsnow standing empty in the upper hall of the Casper High. Normally he would have, just in case there were people around, but he couldn't bring himself to care if they saw him today. Actually, he almost hoped they would. Anything would be better than aimlessly drifting through the old building and finding nothing.

"Hmm," Danny said to himself after a yawn. He finished phasing throughyet anotherwall,only to end up in yet another classroom. Whoda thunkit? "I never noticed before, but this ghost hunting stuff is BORING." Nevertheless, he dutifully looked around the room, not noticing the green, glob-like head that poked through the wall behind him. He didn't notice, that is, until something hit him, and sent him sprawling. When he looked up, a green cougar glared meanly down at him.

"Oh, look," He mocked in a whiny voice, "The little looser ghost changed his look. What's the matter? Self esteem issues?"

"Bertrand," Danny replied simply, his eyes narrowing.

"Of course," The ghost looked completely smug. Danny didn't struggle...he didn't need to.

"How interesting," a smile crossed Danny's face, giving him a demonic aura.

"What's so interesting?" Bertrand leaned closer.

"I was just thinking, I may have some fun today after all," Danny's smile grew bigger, while his eyes remained narrow, and his hands started to glow red. Using all his strength, he thrust upward with his feet, and shot his hands out, hitting Bertrand in the chest with an ectoplasmic blast.The cougerfell against the wall with a loud thump and smoking fur. He glanced up at the black figurenow advancing on him. He watched as the teenager began to laugh cruelly. Perhaps, the ghost thought to himself,he had gotten himself into more trouble than either he or Spectra had realized.

Sam ran along the corridor for the third time, wondering where on Earth Danny could have gone to, when she heard the thump. Checking her watch for the time, she ran in the direction of the sound, and saw some movement through the window of one of the classroom doors. Gulping, she crept up and peeked inside.

Danny had a red ball of ectoplasm in his hand, and he was facing...could that be Bertrand? Yes, Sam was sure it was Bertrand, in his large cat morph.

"So," Danny said, his back partly to her, "who's the looser now?" She could barely hear them through the door, but she could make out his words clearly. He sounded so...negative, so...evil.

"You are," Bertrand smiled menacingly. Danny only raised an eyebrow in clear disbelief.

"Right," he shook his head and rolled his eyes. Sam could barely see his reaction, but he didn't panic or just sit there like usual. Then she saw the large, shadow figure of fire float silentlythrough the roof towards him.

"Danny," she whispered.

Danny faced the Cougar, amusement covering his face. Hadthese twohonestly expected that he wouldn't learn anything in the months they'd been away from the school? Spectra should be along at any...a movement out of the corner of his eye caught Sam in the doorway, her gaze focused behind him. He didn't look, but simply threw the ball of ectoplasm over his shoulder.

"Nice of you to show up, Spectra," he saw the relief on Sam's face, and decided to focus on her to draw an attack from one or both of the ghosts. Indeed, just as he looked, the cougar jumped at him. Danny merely grinned and slipped sideways slightly. Bernard flew past and hit Spectra, causing them both to sprawl on the classroom floor in a tangle of limbs. Bertrand reverted to his original form, and lay quiet over Spectra's back, pinning her to the floor. She was just about to phase through, when she looked up to see Danny floating a few feet away, his smile gone.

"That was so easy. How very disappointing," he shook his head and floated closer until he was only a few inches away from Spectra's face. "If you cannot be more entertaining," he hissed loudly, "I'll just have to take care of you..." the grin returned as he pronounced the last word, "permanently." That was enough for Sam. Throwing caution to the wind, she yanked open the door, and stepped into the classroom. Danny floated between her and the ghosts, but she had a feeling this was going to get out of hand in a few seconds if she didn't do something.

"Danny!" she held up the Fenton Thermos, "NO!" she felt it power up.

"What...Sam?" he growled looking back at her.

"Move!" she yelled, and shut her eyes as the beam to capture the ghosts shot forward, directly at her best friend.
