Danny was in what seemed to be a castle. The screaming had stopped. Was it Jazz?
Danny flew straight. He didn't know where he was going. Suddenly, he reached a dead end. Danny gasped.
Lying on the floor, bound and gagged, was Katelyn! She was in her ghost mode, except her face was tired and her body was drained of energy.
"Katelyn!" Danny screamed. He ran up to her and tried to untie her. But the moment he touched the ropes, his fingers were shocked.
"Argh!" yelped Danny. He blasted the ropes and Katelyn fell into his arms.
"Katelyn?" said Danny softly. Katelyn looked up.
"D - Danny?" mound Katelyn. Danny nodded and held Katelyn up to his face so she could see him.
"Jazz - they have her," said Katelyn. Her voice was horse.
"Where is she?" Danny asked.
"In - the prison," Katelyn finished. It seemed to take up most of her energy just to say a few words.
"Don't worry. We'll find her and get you out of here," Danny promised. He placed one arm under her knees, and another under her back and picked her up. Katelyn's head fell onto Danny's chest.
He walked until they reached a hallway filled with thousands of jail cells. They held all kinds of ghosts. They each ran up to the bars when Danny passed them. At the very end of the corridor, was a very large cell. Jazz was chained to the wall inside it!
"Jazz!" Danny shouted, running up to the bars. Jazz, unlike Katelyn, seemed healthy.
"Danny! Get Katelyn out of here!" yelled Jazz, her red/brown hair falling onto her face.
"What do they want with you?" Danny asked.
"They were using me! To find her!" answered Jazz. Danny turned to Katelyn, whom he had laid on the floor.
"They know I know about your powers!" shouted Jazz.
"What! You know about my ghost powers?" asked Danny, bewildered. Jazz sighed.
"Yes. But there is no time for that now. If they find you here - they will do exactly what they did to Katelyn."
"What did they do to her?"
"They're using her powers. Apparently, Vlad's powers will double if they have her. They kidnaped me so I could lead Vlad to Katelyn," finished Jazz. Danny was awestruck.
"Danny..." Danny looked back at Katelyn.
"Danny... they're coming."
Suddenly, an army of bulky ghosts came charging toward Danny. He flew up into the air, ready to fight. One monster hurled a stick at Danny. It hit him squarely between th eyes.
"ARRGGHH!" screamed Danny. The stick had sucked some of his powers out! The ghost caught the stick. He laughed.
Danny tried to blast them, but nothing happened. The ghosts cackled some more. Katelyn lay on the dungeon floor. She wanted to help Danny. . . but couldn't. There was only one thing she could do . . .
Danny was knocked to the floor beside Katelyn.
"Danny..." Danny looked at Katelyn. She inched toward him. She put her hands on his shoulders and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. Danny placed his hand on her cheek and kissed her back. He felt instantly energized. He flew up into the air and blasted the monsters to the ground. The monsters disappeared. Danny turned back to Katelyn.
Her face was stark white and her eyes where very pale. She seemed even worse then when Danny first saw her. Had the kiss somehow drained even more of her powers?
"Katelyn!" Danny ran over to her.
"Katelyn? What's wrong?" Katelyn didn't answere.
"She gave up her powers for you," said Jazz. "She sacrificed the rest of what she had so you could survive."
Danny's eyes filled up in tears. Katelyn was not going to survive.
"Ah, grieving over your friend?" said an all-too-familiar voice. Vlad had appeared next to Danny.
"You horrible person," said Jazz.
"Horrible person?" said Vlad. He struck Danny across the face, knocking him to the floor with a red mark on his cheek.
"What are you doing?" asked Danny, struggling to get up.
"You blasted kid!" screamed Vlad at the top of his lungs. "I could have had all the power! I was the one that was going to take all of Katelyn's powers! But that kiss ruined everything!"
Danny and Jazz looked at Vlad fearfully. He was madder then ever before.
"You ruined my plan. So I'll have to ruin your life," Vlad picked Danny up by the neck and held him in the air. He flattened him against the wall and pulled out what looked like a needle. He injected red stuff in Danny's body. Green and silver mist started flowing from Danny's body and into Vlad's.
Vlad was taking Danny's powers.
