Chapter 3
"Ghosts!" Yelled a very familiar voice from the doorway. Star and Brooke's heads snapped to the voice, and their faces turned to shock when they saw Maddie and Jack Fenton holding strange looking devices at the three. Brooke and Star gasped and grabbed a hold of Aries by one arm each, then they turned intangible and disappeared through the walls and tried to find a safe place to let Aries finish waking up. He was only half away and looked really drowsy.
"Where do we go!" Star asked.
"Uh, uh.." Brooke racked her brain. "Basement?"
"Works for me.." Star and Brooke flew down into the lab and lied Aries down softly. Then both transformed back to their human selves and watched the boy anxiously. He finally sat up and shook his head, as if to totally knock evil Aries back where he belonged.
"Star? Brooke? What happened?" He asked the two as he transformed back into human mode.
"Evil Aries had you." Brooke said softly. Star nodded her head and sighed.
"Can't you keep that darn thing under control?"
Aries shrugged helplessly. "No I cant..Star. I try and I try. But nothing seems to work anymore. I don't know what is wrong."
"This could be a problem." Star mumbled.
Then the door to the lab was kicked opened, standing there were none other than the ghost hunter parents themselves.
"So could that!" Brooke exclaimed.
"That's the last time I listen to you." Star hissed, then grabbed both by their arms and quickly turned all three of them intangible.
"Ghosts! They are here Maddie! I can smell 'em!" Jack yelled happily, running down the stairs and looking around anxiously.
"Jack they could have gone into the portal already." Maddie said matter-of-factly.
"Oh darn, and I so badly wanted to try the ghost incinerator on them too." Jack looked crestfallen.
"Don't worry dear, we will try it on ghosts soon." Maddie told him with a smile.
"Alright!" Jack immediately perked up and the two went back up to Danny's party.
Star sighed in relief and turned them all visible again.
"With so many halfa's in this house their equipment must be going nuts." Aries observed.
"C'mon lets get back to the party." The three made their way up from the basement and glanced around nervously, then went into the main room and quickly blended in with the crowd.
Rosa smiled at Danny softly and said. "Hey happy birthday Danny, congrats on finally turning fifteen!"
Danny smiled a little back at his former girlfriend. "Yeah, thanks. Its really nice."
Both settled in an uneasy silence. Rosa bit her lower lip and was looking in another direction, thinking of what to say. Danny was looking at the ground, shifting his weight from one side to the other. Before they had really a chance to talk anymore however, both gasped as pink and blue mist seeped out of their mouths simultaneously.
On the other side of the room, blue, yellow and red seeped out of the mouths of three others, who then glanced around nervously and then tried to run to a place to transform.
Danny signaled Tucker, Sam and Jazz to follow him and Rosa. The five ended up outside in the twilight of afternoon. The sun was already setting fast, causing mixtures of pinks, oranges, yellows, and blues in the darkening sky overhead. Soon the three other halfa's ended up outside as well. The five halfa's stood away from the three humans and looked around them cautiously. Then, making sure that no one but their friends were they're to see them transform, the five concentrated, and an array of colors appeared.
The transformation had become familiar to them all. Two rings surrounded their midsections and then broke apart and started to slowly float up and down, causing the clothes, hair, and eyes to change dramatically. Danny's hair turned from pitch black to pure white, and his eyes from a comforting blue to an aggressive green. His clothes then turned into a silver and black jumpsuit, after the transformation was complete, he smirked.
Rosa's blonde hair turned into pure darkness. Her eye, once blue, was now a bright pink. The clothes she wore were now a pink and black jumpsuit complete with skirt, tights and a pink rose imprint on her chest.
Star's was more complex, the yellow rings revealed her hair changed from black to pure white much like Danny's. Her green eyes though turned bright yellow, there was an imprint of a yellow star on her right cheek. She also had a jumpsuit that was yellow and white. Her yellow shirt part seemed to glitter in the dimming light.
Aries brown curly hair disappeared and what remained was red hair. His eyes turned brown to green, and once again clothes transformed into a black and red jumpsuit. He grinned mischievously when it was done.
Brooke sighed in relief, knowing her long brown hair, was turning silver, her eyes turning a bright blue. And her clothes now appearing to be a blue and silver jumpsuit with blue wavy lines when each part of clothing cut off.
"Anyone else reminded of Sailor Moon just now?" Sam said, a bored look on her face. Tucker and Jazz instantly raised their hands.
Danny rolled his eyes at the comment.
"Actually I thought it would be more of Power Rangers." Star smirked.
"Yeah except the green ranger is leading, now come on." Danny said, as he noticed a figure disappear behind an alleyway.
Tucker tossed Danny the thermos and the five walked towards it.
The three non-halfa's stood by the door, waiting for the others to come back. Tucker and Sam missed being part of Danny's team, but were relieved, knowing that with all those halfa's Danny wouldn't be hurt.
The five walked down the alleyway each with their own feeling of foreboding. Rosa felt herself shiver a little. Star clenched her teeth, looking around them, forming a yellow blast in her hand. Brooke looked just plain frightened. Aries was looking around them as well, even he seemed nervous. Danny was leading the group and was biting his lower lip, while glancing around nervously. He was sure he saw the figure run down here.
Soon the alleyway stopped, a large wall blocked their path, it was a dead end.
"Guess the ghost got away." Rosa said idly.
"Think again." A dark voice said. All gasped and turned towards the voice. A pair of red eyes peered at them from a dark part of the alleyway, and since the sun was setting lower, the area around them was becoming increasingly darker.
"Look! Another!" Brooke cried, and pointed to another figure in darkness with green eyes.
"And another!" Rosa pointed again to a dark corner where another figure was.
Danny soon lost count how many ghosts there were. He did not like this. He didn't like it at all.
The figures started to step into the light, Skulker, Bertrand, Spectra, Desiree, the Box Ghost, and Vlad.
"Okay, really not liking the six to five odds." Star growled, forming bright yellow blasts of plasma in her hands.
Vlad stepped foreword. "Daniel, it doesn't have to be this way, all you have to do is give up your father and come and join me."
Danny narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth. "I'll never join you Vlad."
"Alright." Vlad sighed. "Be stubborn. Attack." He pointed at the halfa group. The five ghosts charged for a halfa, in their sight.
Skulker attacked Danny with a plasma gun in his arm. He then growled when Danny dodged the blast and threw a cube at the boy. Danny remember what happened at the Reunion and quickly jumped into the air to avoid the cube trapping him within it.
Spectra grabbed Rosa by the arms and twisted them behind her back. "Well, look what we have here? A freak." She said into Rosa's ear.
"I'm not a freak!" Rosa yelled, turning intangible and escaping from Spectra's grasp and turned and faced her, her hands glowing a bright pink plasma. She launched the blast at Spectra who was hit by the blast, but she stood right back up, an evil gleam in her eye as she fed off Rosa's anger.
Bertrand was in his cougar form and then pounced on top of Star, knocking her to the ground and causing the breath to be forced out of her body. She gasped for breath as she saw the evil smirk on his face. She growled, and quickly kicked him off her. She then didn't hesitate to form an ectoplasmic ray and launch it towards Bertrand at full force. He dodged and attacked her again, sinking his teeth into her arm. She yelled out in pain, then opened her eyes, which radiating hate at the ghost.
"Whatever your wish is my command." Desiree smirked, Aries growled and went to attack her, when she wrapped her tail around him, causing him not being able to move. He struggled frantically and looked up at her hatefully.
"I wish you'd take a hike!" He growled. When she did not move, he was surprised.
"That isn't your deepest desire." She smirked. He turned intangible and phased out of her grasp, then changed back and punched her.
"It is now!"
"I, The Box Ghost! Shall rule this world of everything that is square!" The box ghost announced, then lifted boxes up with his power and threw them at Brooke. She gasped and dodged each box, then smiled and turned back to the box nut. He blinked, then smiled again as the boxes came back in a boomerang sort of way, knocking into Brooke, causing her to fall to the ground. She groaned and glared up at the box ghost towering above her.
Vlad looked on with an evil grin smeared on his face. His red eyes scanned evilly at the group fighting off the ghosts in front of them. Everything was going according to plan. He put his hand in his pocked and pulled out a syringe with a glowing red liquid inside. No matter what, he would win.
