Chapter 4: Threat against Jackie
As Jackie finally got out of the taxi, the stick Uncle gave him with the glowing green magic glow on it slowly started to point in a certain direction.
"Something wrong?" asked the taxi driver as he was looking over his shoulder.
"Uh, nothing" said Jackie while he was trying to control the stick he was holding.
Jackie paid the taxi driver what he owed and started to follow the direction of where the stick was pointing at. But what Jackie didn't know was that Skullcker came out of nowhere and was walking up right up toward Jackie. The stick Jackie was holding immediately forced Jackie to turn around only to find a large muscular-like ghost standing right in front of him.
"Greetings human" said Skullcker, "my client and his friends have been growing very impatient with you meddling into their plans. It's time for you to be put out of commission."
Skullcker takes out his attachable knife and shots off the glowing part of the stick. Jackie dropped the stick and started to walk back.
"Nice knife" said Jackie trying to give some humor to the situation he was in.
"You like it?" asked Skullcker.
As Skullcker was about to attack Jackie, Jade leaped on Skullcker's head, and covered his eyes. Skullcker couldn't see where he was going and sliced a traffic light, cutting it down.
"Jade, get off that ghost!" cried Jackie.
"Are you kidding me?" asked Jade while still covering Skullcker's eyes, "This guy is here to waste you!"
"I'll contact Uncle" said Jackie quickly pressing the buttons on his cell phone.
As Jackie was busy trying to contact Uncle, Danny was running to class. He knew he would be tardy if he did not make it to Mr. Launcer's class. Suddenly he could tell there was a ghost nearby as cold breath came out of his mouth. Around the corner, he saw Skullcker trying to attack the man his father met earlier while a child was trying to stop him. Skullcker grabs Jade and takes out his knife.
"You're really starting to bug me" said Skullcker.
Danny quickly heads behind a trash can and turns into Danny Phantom. He races toward Skullcker, but rescues Jade first and lands on some grass nearby.
"You'll be safe here" said Danny putting Jade down. Danny heads back to face Skullcker.
"I think Uncle might have found his halfa" said Jade as she watched Danny fly off.
Jackie was still busy trying to push the buttons on his cell phone to contact Uncle. But before Jackie could contact Uncle, Skullcker grabs Jackie by his shirt.
"Listen to me human" said Skullcker while holding onto Jackie's shirt, "you and whoever was with you are getting on my nerves!"
"Hey Skullcker!" said Danny as he entered the scene, "I thought you were suppose to hunt me?"
"I'm not hunting you now ghost child!" replied Skullcker as he turned around for a moment.
"Well I don't like it when you hurt innocent people!" replied Danny in a heroic voice.
Danny races toward Skullcker and knocks Skullcker with his plasma beam, sending Skullcker flying over the school and onto the other side.
"You're the halfa that Uncle told me about" said Jackie in an astonished voice.
"Who did you say wanted to see me?" asked Danny in a curious voice.
But before Jackie could finish what he wanted to say, Skullcker came back using his jetpack coming forward to Jackie. Jackie leaps over Skullcker, and grabs his foot. Skullcker throws Jackie across the street, hitting the wall.
"Now Mr. Chan" said Skullcker, "it's time that I get my payment from my client."
"Hey Skullcker!" said Danny, "You forgot to get me!"
Danny's fist came right toward Skullcker, punching Skullcker right in the chin, as Danny was busy fighting Skullcker, Jade came back to see how her uncle Jackie was doing. Jackie managed to get Uncle on the phone as Jade was coming toward him.
"Uncle" said Jackie on his cell phone, "I found the halfa you are looking for. You might want to bring a Chi spell along; I think we're also dealing with another ghost."
"Too many things for Uncle to do!" cried Uncle on the other line, "But Uncle will manage as long as Tohru helps Uncle out!"
Uncle got into a taxi with Tohru.
"Head toward Casper High and step on it!" cried Uncle as he was pointing straight toward the road.
"I would be going faster if your large friend wasn't dragging me down" replied the taxi driver.
"You better not insult my apprentice!" snapped Uncle, "Head toward Casper High or Uncle isn't paying!"
"Sensei" said Tohru in a calmer voice, "please come down and let the man drive. Jackie needs our help."
"Your large friend is right" said the taxi driver, "either stop yapping or get out and leave."
"Uncle will stop yapping as soon as you go faster!" continued Uncle.
The taxi got to Casper High as quickly as it could. While Uncle was getting out of the taxi, Tohru kindly and quickly paid the taxi driver. Uncle could see Danny in his ghost form fighting another ghost.
"Quickly Tohru" said Uncle, "get out my ingredients."
Tohru gets out the dead lizard Uncle usually uses. He then carefully aims at Skullcker and does his famous Chi spell chant.
"What is that awful sound?!" cried Skullcker as he covered his ears.
"Hey Skullcker, here comes my fist!" said Danny.
Danny sent Skullcker flying across the school. Uncle's chant was unbearable to Skullcker and left the area still trying to get away from Uncle's chant.
"Sensei" said Tohru, "I think we have a bigger problem on our hands now."
"You there!" said Uncle pointing at Danny, "Uncle wishes to speak with the halfa."
"You mean me?" asked Danny as he floated down to meet Uncle.
"Does Uncle see any other halfas? Then come toward Uncle!" snarled Uncle.
"So you are the halfa?" asked Jackie.
"First before I begin, how do you people know I am part ghost?" asked Danny.
"Uncle had contact with Chi Master Fong" replied Uncle, "he has warned me of another halfa."
"You mean Vlad Masters a.k.a. Vlad Plasmius?" asked Danny.
"How do you know all of this?" asked Uncle.
"I fought him before" replied Danny.
"Vlad Masters is said to be after the Amulet of Time" said Uncle, "there are twelve guardian amulets that prevent access from taking the Amulet of Time. If the former members of the Dark Hand wanted to take the guardian amulet, then I suppose it's currently located in Casper High right now."
"But Uncle" said Jackie, "I don't want to get in trouble."
"The amulet should be given to Section 13" said Uncle, "but you Jackie must be aided by Danny Phantom to accomplish this."
"I have never stolen things before" said Danny, "but if it's to stop Vlad Plasmius, I am all for it."
"Good" replied Uncle, "contact your friends to get help if necessary. Uncle will return to the apartment with Jackie. Prepare to take the amulet tonight."
As Jackie, Jade, Uncle and Tohru got into the taxi to head back toward their apartment; Danny went back to his human form and wondered what was going to happen next. He knew that he was late to class as he got to his first period.
"Well, well" said Mr. Launcer, "you are late, very, very late again. Can I have some explaination?"
As Jackie finally got out of the taxi, the stick Uncle gave him with the glowing green magic glow on it slowly started to point in a certain direction.
"Something wrong?" asked the taxi driver as he was looking over his shoulder.
"Uh, nothing" said Jackie while he was trying to control the stick he was holding.
