Chapter 14: Unasked and Unanswered
As the morning sun sent light cascading through the drapes, an alarm could be heard in Mr. & Mrs. Fenton's room.
"Spectral Energy Alert! Spectral Energy Alert!"
Jack bolted out of bed, "GHOSTS!" he yelled at no one in particular.
Alicia and Jazz walked sleepily over to where Jack was still yelling 'Ghosts'.
"Jack, didn't you remember to reset the alarm? It's daylight savings and it says that the sunlight is spectral energy..." Maddie said, still half assleep.
"You woke us up for nothing!" Yelled a very cranky Alicia, clearly annoyed by Jack's lack of good judgement.
No one noticed that Jack's yelling hadn't woken up Danny or Lucy.
Meanwhile, Two forms had entered the Ghost Grand hall, where another meeting was in session.
A Ghost with a lanky form, a large top hat, and... was wearing a hamster suit... was at the podium, giving an urget message to the surrounding ghosts.
"Attention all Ghosts! I have just recieved word from the police cheif that there is a warrent out for the arrest of Vlad Plasmius. Apparently, he has been bribing ghosts to ignore their duties to our world and commit crimes throughout the ghost Zone as well as the human world! The reason this hasn't come to light sooner is because the local Warden, Walker, was corrupt and arresting many ghosts over false charges, and was being handsomely payed by Plasmius. The Ghost Police Force has captured many traitorous ghosts but some still remain on the loose, these include:
Skulker, Ghost Zone's Greatest predator
Nicolai Technus, So-called Master of Technology and Roast Beef
Desiree, Corrupt Wish Granter
Ember McLane, Emits a ghastly wail and wants to domminate the world
If you see any of th-"
The ghost was cut off by a series of gasps that were travelling through the crowd. Minutes later, The room was empty, and a giant machanical box was full.
The larger figure spoke first, "Their mother is either being cared for bu Technus or Desiree, and I'm betting my money on Desiree." he turned to the smaller figure, "Takes these furballs to Plasmius's Mansion."
The box lay forgotten as the two figures left. At least for a while. Then, an all too familiar clutz floated into the room. "I am the Box Ghost! Your marvelous squareness shall be mine!"
The Box Ghost picked up the Box and Floated out the door.
Lucy woke up to find Danny slapping her across the face, trying to wake her up. Lucy scrambled up and looked around. the last thing she remembered was fainting after taking a couple bites of chocolate cake.
"Jo, are you okay?" Danny asked her, clearly concerned.
"I'm fine," Lucy replied, slammering, "Where are we?"
The room was huge, filled with large white decorations. Each piece was embroidered in gold, and Danny and Lucy horribly clashed with their surroundings.
Danny examined one of the white coffie tables and, to Lucy's confusion, licked it.
Lucy stared at Danny, "What are you doing?"
Danny glanced at Lucy, "It's salt!"
"Salt?" Lucy asked, getting more confused by the second.
"Yes Salt..." Said a voice coming out of a white intercom, it took Lucy a moment to figure out that the electrical appliaces weren't made out of salt. But for some reason, everything else was, "Salt Lake City has so much salt that I decided to put it to use."
Danny and Lucy glanced at each other in shock. In a short matter of time, they had managed to become extemely far from the Fenton Household.
