Chapter 9: Uncle's Dare
As Danny, Jackie, Jade and Uncle got out of the ghost zone, Uncle was still unconvinced that Jack Fenton's inventions were useless to Uncle.
"Uncle is still not convinced that his technology works" said Uncle.
"Not again" said Jackie as he rolled his eyes.
"I could setup a contest between my dad and Uncle" said Danny as he changed back to normal mode.
"Great" said Uncle, "Uncle will give your father such a whooping!"
As Uncle went upstairs with Danny and Jackie behind him, Jack was busy inventing a new ghost catching invention when they came upstairs.
"Uncle will prove that your technology is useless junk!" said Uncle to Jack.
"Useless?! Useless?!" cried Jack, "Alright old man, you got yourself a deal!"
"Jack, you don't need to do this" said Madie who was working right next to him.
"I have to Madie, otherwise this old kook will be annoying me for the rest of eternity" replied Jack.
Jack went outside in the backyard where Uncle and his apprentice Tohru were waiting for them. Jack had brought along several of his ghost-finding inventions that would help to prove this old man that you did not need ridiculous magic to find ghosts.
"Just look at him pulling out his weird gadgets" said Uncle to Tohru.
"Sensei, don't you think you should give this a rest?" asked Tohru, "I mean they're on the same side we're on."
"Uncle knows that, but Uncle does not want some know-it-all inventor to out lash Uncle!" replied Uncle.
"Okay old man, here's the Fenton Ghost Finder" said Jack, "I'll turn it on."
Jack turned on the Fenton Ghost Finder.
"I am the box ghost!" said the box ghost that appeared.
"I am the box ghost, fear me" replied the machine.
"Ha, you got lucky!" said Uncle, "Now watch how Uncle does it! Tohru, prepare the Chi spell!"
"Yes sensei" replied Tohru.
Both Uncle and Tohru started their Chi spell chant. Suddenly, the box ghost appeared out of nowhere.
"Hey, I know you" said the box ghost, "you're that old kook who used some voodoo magic to make me appear in your apartment!"
"Oh yea, watch this old man" said Jack as he put on the Fenton Ghost Grabber.
Jack grabs the box ghost with the Fenton Ghost Grabber. The box ghost struggles to get out of Jack's grip.
"Ha, another lucky shot" said Uncle, "Tohru, I'm going to use the Chi spell I used for Jackie to get the Talismans out of Shendu. So put out your hands for me."
Uncle makes his Chi spell chant again as he pours the green gill on Tohru's hands. Tohru walks over to where Jack is holding the box ghost and grabs the box ghost with his green glowing hands.
"Ha" said Uncle, "Uncle proves that his Chi spell works better than your useless junk!"
"Maybe you are right old man" said Jack as he lets go of the box ghost and starts to put his inventions away, "but I will prove to the world that ghosts exist."
"Ha, all you have proven to be is a big fool" replied Uncle.
"You may have won the battle" said Jack as he was heading into the house, "but you have not won the war."
"Sensei" said Tohru as he was still holding the box ghost in his grip, "what do we do with the ghost?"
"I'll handle that" said Danny as he walked out with the Fenton Thermos.
The box ghost is sucked into the thermos.
"That's what catches ghosts?!" cried Uncle pointing at the Fenton Thermos.
"Uh, yea" said Danny, "I have been using this to catch ghosts that come out of the ghost zone."
"That's the most stupid thing Uncle has ever heard!" cried Uncle, "You don't use technology to capture ghosts! You use magic to make them disappear!"
"Look old man, I know you are supposed to help me out defeating Vlad Masters and his goons" said Danny, "but if you are going to join me, lay off my dad! I know he may not be that smart, but stop with this nonsense."
"Please sensei" said Tohru, "no more of this. I don't want to upset our new friends."
"Tell you what Uncle is going to do" said Uncle, "bring along some of your father's inventions. If Uncle's Chi spells fail to stop Vlad Masters and this Skullcker, you may use one of your father's inventions to stop them."
"And if I prove you wrong?" asked Danny.
"Then Uncle will cease his rantings!" replied Uncle.
"Sounds good to me" said Tohru.
"Watch what you say when you are in front of Uncle" said Uncle as he slapped his finger on Tohru's head.
Meanwhile in the house, Jackie got a phone call from Captain Black.
"What's going on Captain Black?" asked Jackie.
"I'll help you find the particular amulets you are interested in before Vlad Masters gets it" replied Captain Black.
"Great" said Jackie in an astonishing voice, "where is the next amulet located at?"
"It's located in a museum in New York" replied Captain Black, "I can provide you and any of your friends on a way of getting there."
"Sorry Captain Black" said Jackie, "I have already found a way to get there."
"If it's some type of a strange travel, I don't want to know what it is" said Captain Black, "the government is keeping a close eye on me. They are now banning the five letter g word now."
"You mean ghost?" asked Jackie.
"Don't say that" replied Captain Black, "they're monitoring my cell phone records."
"Well, I have to go" said Jackie, "Uncle has just finished his contest in proving you know what exists or not."
"Uncle is ready for the next mission" said Uncle.
"Great" said Jackie, "let's get the Specter Speeder ready."
"Right" said Danny as he was heading downstairs.
