"I see the jail!" Jazz said into the Fenton Phone she'd grabbed and stuck into her right ear before her rather hurried venture into the Ghost Zone. "There's a courtyard. Maybe I can...OOF!" She ran smack into a green barrier that completely surrounded the penitentiary. "There's a shield," she growled as she shook away dazed blanket that had settled momentarily over her mind when she hit the wall.
"You can phase through it as a human," Sam answered from somewhere behind Jazz in the Ghost Zone. Jazz had decided not to wait for them while they took a few minutes to get the Specter Speeder ready, and went ahead after a few short directions from Tucker and corrections from Sam.
She sighed, backed up a few yards, and went human as she flew forward, assuring her passage through the barrier. She quickly transformed back on the other side, and continued towards the large building, picking up enough speed to hopefully give them a surprise. That's when she noticed all of the guards had focused on something happening inside the courtyard...on one of the higher levels. She only heard the last few words of Danny's speech, and it seemed to give her the extra strength she needed to knock Walker to Kingdom Come.
Walker barely saw her fist hit him before the sensation of uncontrolled flying overtook him. He landed hard on one of the lower levels, having been knocked over the edge of the level that seemed to be nothing more than a large ledge and a small wall around the side of the courtyard.
Jazz, meanwhile, wasted no time in rushing to her brother's side.
"Danny?" she asked cautiously and grabbed his shoulder. At her touch, he shuddered suddenly, and took a deep, but unsteady breath. Jazz stared at him, horrified. He must have wasted too much strength in his little lecture to Walker because... Her next realization hit her like a ton of bricks.
"He wasn't breathing until I touched him," she whispered to herself, placing a worried hand over her mouth. "I've got to get him out of here." A loud voice suddenly startled her out of her slight trance.
"What are you all floating around for?" Walker yelled. "GET HER!"
Several ghosts rushed over and surrounded them, while Jazz looked on worriedly, knowing that with their current positions, there was no way they could escape...unless.
"I hope this works," she grimaced and grabbed Danny. "Sam! Tucker!" She yelled into the Fenton Phone, "HURRY!" As she finished speaking, two rings appeared around her waist, and she started to feel the floor beneath her give out. "Phase," she said as calmly as she could. "Phase now."
"NO!" Walker howled and jumped toward them, as did several other ghosts...but to no avail. They began to fall strait down, and in moments had passed through even his level. His hand passed through the red hair that trailed behind them, and he suddenly turned on his officers, grabbing the closest by his uniform.
"Put ALL guards on full alert AND FIND HER!" he practically screamed in the poor ghost's ears. The spirit began nodding his head very quickly as Walker continued. "And I don't care how we do it, but I want this entire prison at least coated in the non-phase material that I just lined my office in! GOT THAT!" He threw the smaller ghost across the yard. Hearing the weaker ghost scream his compliance did not help Walker's mood.
xoxoxox
Even when she expected the fall, the sudden motion caused Jazz to catch her breath and hold it for a few seconds, during which time she felt Danny's own weak attempts at breathing. Feeling that he remained alive calmed her down enough to suppress the scream that threatened to break out of her throat. She clenched his shirt tightly, trying not to dig her fingers into his flesh as she held him close, preventing him from drifting away from her as they fell. Then she looked down and once again caught her breath. A large island of some sort had floated beneath them, and she knew they'd hit it if she didn't change back very soon.
As soon as they passed through the barrier surrounding the prison, she began to change back, forcing her and her brother to come to a screeching halt feet above the gravestones that loomed in the eerie light. Danny slipped through her tight grip at the sudden halt of motion, and she had to lunge to catch him barely inches above one of the taller tomb markers.
"That was too close," she breathed, just before she remembered that as a human, they could have phased through the island. Having realized this after the fact, she hit her head with her hand and sighed.
"There she is!" A voice from the prison above caused her to turn her head and look back. Several guards began pouring over the sides of the building, and were only waiting for the shield to drop to come after her.
Taking several deep breaths, she lifted Danny into a cradle position in her arms, and flew back towards the Fenton Portal.
"Guys!" She yelled through the communicator, "I'm coming your way...and I'm bringing some unwelcome guests!"
"We heard," she Sam muttered through the phones.
After flying for a few seconds, Jazz took a moment to look behind her, and immediately regretted it. The shield had been lowered, and a large host of police ghosts had fallen into sync behind her, with an angry Walker in the lead.
