YAY! Another chapter- I'm on a role with this! I just wanted to thank all my wonderful reviewers for their kind sentiments, and yes Mdizzle999872, I do feel very special. Thank you for the honor of being on your 'Author Alert' list. I'll try to live up to your high expectations.
Also, I won't take any more requests to add stuff- I have planned out the rest of the story and know where I will be heading with it. Thanks again to all of you who gave me some great ideas, though! Without you, the story wouldn't be what it is.
Zelda-Rules: I threw in that author's note in the last chapter because some people were hounding me about not using the metric system in my descriptions; so I thought I should clarify that yes, I do live in the US and use our weird system of measurement. I didn't mean to annoy anyone with that- just showing my own kind of patriotism I suppose. :P LOL!
Other than that, I am glad everyone likes the story still, despite my style change.
Finally, if you haven't realized already, I decided to make this into a triple crossover with White-Wolfen's original character and story about Hans Wolfe. As far as his accent goes, it's supposed to be German, but for some reason I think it sounds like Dracula. Oh well- sorry about that. Whitie was nice enough to send me all the details about him, so practically everything in the story about him is pretty much exactly what she told me. I just took a few artistic liberties with the rest of it to tie everything together. So that's the disclaimer for that, and I suppose I should say that DP and FOP belong to Butch Hartman, (as far as I know). I haven't said that in a while, but it's back in the beginning somewhere. Now onward with the story!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
(Back in the Specter Speeder)
"Ahh! I'm hit!" Timmy cried as he was hit by a sandwich hard enough to be thrown back.
"Yee haw! Take that, ya little crouton!" Anti-Wanda said as she bit off a piece of another sandwich and then threw it. (At least she was smart enough to know a good sandwich when she saw one.)
"I believe you mean 'cretin' dearest," Anti-Cosmo said in his matter-of fact way as he adjusted his spectacle again. "But who cares? Ha ha ha!" He raised his wand, and the seatbelts came alive and started strangling the three of them.
"Let- us- out!" Tucker cried.
"Why is their magic working here?" Timmy thought aloud to himself.
"Well, it's funny you should inquire about that," Anti-Cosmo answered having overheard. "We are the exact opposite of your godparents. Their magic doesn't work here, so ours does."
"Great- that's just perfect," the boy replied.
"This is ridiculous!" Sam yelled loudly. "You- no- good- rotten-" but she stopped mid insult as she came up with an idea, and her eyes brightened. "Hey you two, I would absolutely hate to suddenly appear in Skulker's lair. That would be so unlucky for us if we happened to find ourselves there.
Tucker caught on and winked at her as the seat belt wrapped itself tighter around him. "You are so right. I shudder to think about what would happen if we were to find ourselves in that terrifying place."
"Oh no… not there…" Timmy added as he fought against the seatbelts.
Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda looked at each other, and both nodded with those wicked grins spanning their little evil faces. "Well I guess I know what we should do next!" Anti-Cosmo said as the Specter Speeder stopped lurching about.
"Yer darn toot'n!" Anti-Wanda said, for once putting down her favorite snack. They both raised their wands, and with a 'foop' they appeared in Skulker's lair.
"Cheerio!" Anti-Cosmo said happily as the seatbelts unwound themselves from their human captives and the doors opened.
"Y'all have fun now!" Anti-Wanda called as they all left. The two then decided to follow the group to bring them even more bad luck.
"Ooh- I'm like, sooo scared, heh heh," Timmy said as he left the speeder while Anti-Wanda hovered over him. A breadcrumb fell on his shoulder, but he brushed it off and looked around. The lair appeared as dark and dank as a dungeon with the heads of creatures and spirits great and small mounted on the walls; however, all the cages were empty. "Actually, this is pretty scary- and creepy," he corrected himself. "Hey is that the head of a jackalope?" he pointed up at the small head of a rabbit with antlers hanging slightly above him.
"Hey, there's a dragon- and a unicorn!" Sam said in awe as she pointed to the heads on the wall. "I didn't know they even existed!"
"Well they don't anymore," Timmy said. "I hope the same isn't true for Cosmo and Wanda."
"But why did he have to kill them? They are such magnificent creatures." She said sadly. Timmy gave her a look of impatience. "Right, your godparents need our help!"
"Which way should we go?" Tucker pondered aloud.
"It looks like we should follow this corridor," Sam said and pointed in the logical direction to head.
"Hey wait, I hear voices on the other side of this wall," Tucker said a bit more quietly.
Timmy leaned up to listen, and was surprised to find his head went right through the wall! He pulled back in shock, then slowly thrust his arm through to make sure he hadn't imagined it.
"Oh yeah!" Tucker remembered. "Humans and stuff from our world phase through everything in the Ghost Zone. Here, we are the ghosts."
"Then shouldn't we be falling through the floor?" Timmy asked.
"I guess so, but I don't understand the principles of ghost physics," he replied. "Hey, I wouldn't question a good thing though."
"Well let's go," Sam said as she led the group (heavy two anti-fairies) through the wall into the room on the other side. Even Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda were a bit nervous in these new surroundings.
"Timmy!" They all heard as Cosmo and Wanda happily greeted their godchild; they had been on the verge of leaving. Hans looked up anxiously at the new arrivals. Anti-Wanda flew over to him, and he tripped over his own feet. He growled despite now being human, but picked himself back up.
"Hey you guys!" Timmy cried happily as he ran over and hugged his godparents. "I thought I'd never see you again!"
"We thought the same, sport," Wanda announced. "But boy are we glad to see you!"
"I MISSED YOU SO MUCH, TIMMY!" Cosmo cried and started bawling in happiness. "I don't wanna be a squirrel ever again! I don't wanna!"
Hans smiled to himself and headed over to the group. "This is quite a touching reunion, but I suggest ve leave as fast as ve can.
"Who are you?" Sam and Tucker asked at the same time.
"My name's- "
"-He helped us escape, but we'll explain everything when we're outta here!" Cosmo said, wiping away a tear of happiness. "We have to hurry!"
"The speeder's over this way," Tucker called, as he led the group back the way they had come.
"Hey, you can valk through valls?" Hans asked.
"Well, we humans can- and fairies," Tucker answered. "Anyone from the living world can."
"Then how come I couldn't go through the cage I was in?" Hans asked.
"Skulker must have built it partially from materials from our world," Wanda answered. "We couldn't get out of ours either, and we couldn't use magic since it doesn't affect anything here. The netting also kept us from poofing out."
"Makes sense to me," Sam added as they continued.
They had all about reached the speeder, when the anti-fairies decided to start some more mischief again. "Oh y'all won't be going nowhere quickly for a while!" Anti-Wanda called and waved her wand. Everyone found they couldn't walk quickly at all- everything seemed to be turned into a slow-motion movie; it was like they were all trapped in mud and were fighting to move through it. They could see the speeder right in front of them, but couldn't seem to move fast enough to get to it.
"Dis is crazy," Hans thought as he slowly reached into his pocket. About a minute later he had grabbed the net and slowly was moving it to catch Anti-Wanda in it, who was hovering right next to him dimly chewing on her sandwich in real-time. Luckily, she was so unintelligent, that she didn't even realize she was ever-so-slowly being captured in the glowing purple net that Hans had saved from earlier. A few minutes later she was caught (and still chewing). This would have taken only a few seconds if time hadn't been slowed down.
As soon as he had caught her, time seemed to speed up a little more as her magical powers couldn't be used outside the net. The others looked around, and realized what he was doing. Cosmo and Wanda gave him a thumbs-up as they could all move a little faster.
"No!" Anti-Cosmo said. "Let my love go!" He was so flustered, that he forgot about slowing time down, and everything resumed to the way it had been. Hans was on top of him in an instant, but they all realized that he no longer looked human.
The other humans all gasped as he leaped at the second, smarter demon-like anti-fairy and had caught him in the net in under a second. He tied it at the top and glared at them with his glowing golden eyes, then slung it over his shoulder, and started walking with the others.
"That was awesome!" Timmy cried. You have reflexes like a, well a- "
"A volf," Hans replied staring with his now golden glowing eyes and his kind, furry gray face as he turned around to reveal a thick, bushy tail that seemed to sprout from just above the top of his pants. They all also noticed his feet resembled that of a wolf's rather than a person's, and his hands looked like paws with long claws. Hans closed his eyes, and returned to being human once again.
"You definitely have to explain that to us," Sam said as they all raced into the Specter Speeder. "Come on!" she gestured to Hans who stopped, and dropped the netting with the Anti-fairies in it. They gave him a confused look.
"You can surprise Skulker vhen he comes back," he said with a malicious grin and ran to join his new friends.
Once inside, Tucker set the scanner to scan for the Fenton portal, which was a 'real world item'. It quickly detected it, and they zoomed off for home.
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Darn it, I went to the ghost boy's house and he wasn't even there!" Skulker fumed in frustration. "Maybe I can convince Vlad to let me use that spy satellite of his to locate him." The huntsman then had a second thought. "No, I can't do that. He won't think I'm a good enough hunter, and he told me not to return without the boy! Darn it!" A musical beeping seemed to startle him. "WHAT NOW?" He peered at his PDA.
The words "GO TO THE ZOO TO PHOTOGRAPH PURPLE-BACK GORILLA" flashed across its screen.
"Aw, man! Not again! He said angrily as two mechanical wings sprung from his suit and he flew off with a look of defeat across his metal face. His flaming hair seemed fainter. "I'll make it quick."
-----------------------------------------------------------
"Can this traffic get any worse?" Jazz wondered aloud to her brother. They had inched up a grand total of about five feet in the last ten minutes. She revved the engine to show her frustration.
"Um, maybe everyone is coming out of the zoo at the same time over there," Danny volunteered trying to lighten the situation.
Jazz turned to her brother and smiled. "Eh, it doesn't pay to get all worked up over rush-hour traffic. But I'm sure mom and dad are worried sick. I guess we'll get home eventually though. I'm just glad we're all okay."
Danny turned to look into the back to make sure Crocker was where they had left him. He was still asleep, mumbling something subconsciously about fairies. He couldn't help but wonder again why he was so obsessed with them and how he even knew about them in the first place.
"So he thought you were a fairy?" Jazz interrupted his thoughts.
"Yeah, I guess he must have seen my ghost routine and thought it was some kind of magic or something. I don't know." Danny remembered that Jazz didn't know that fairies really existed.
"Well it is very cool."
"Thanks."
The two sat in silence for a few minutes when suddenly, Danny's ghost sense went off. He gasped as a chill spread down his spine and his hair briefly stood on end.
"What the heck was that?" Jazz asked, as she had noticed the blue mist come out of his mouth.
"My ghost sense- um, a ghost is near," Danny warned.
"You can sense ghosts too? What else can you do that you haven't told me about?"
"I don't even know. I just learned I could do something new this morning," Danny said nervously glancing around out the window. He remembered that the mist had wafted towards the zoo, so there was a good chance that was where the ghost was.
"Can you see anything?" Jazz asked, but was cut off by the deafening sound of sirens blaring behind them.
"Attention! This is the police! Please pull the vehicle over to the shoulder of the road."
"Oh thank goodness!" Jazz yelled. Mom and Dad must have called them-"
"And Sam and Tucker must have told them what the van looked like so they could find it," Danny finished.
Jazz pulled the van over. "Man this is one time I am happy a traffic cop pulled me over!" she said relieved. "Now they'll call mom and- " but she noticed Danny's ghost sense go off again, except stronger this time.
"It's closer!" Danny said tensing up, he still couldn't see anything, so he made his eyes glow green and gazed out the window. It was enough to let him see the ghost, even though it was invisible to other humans. It was floating out from the zoo when it stopped, noticed Crocker's van on the side of the road, grinned an iniquitous smile, and began flying faster at them.
"Oh no, it's Skulker- again!" Danny said aloud. He must think Crocker is still hunting for me and is going to take his scanner back!"
"What?" Jazz asked.
"Jazz, get ready to drive REALLY fast!" he said as the cop pulled up behind them and was getting out of his car.
"What? We can't do that! There's a cop, and not to mention the fact that traffic isn't moving anywhere fast!"
"Drive up the shoulder, because no cop is going to be able to protect us from that ghost. Now STEP ON IT!" Jazz gave him a nervous expression as she turned the van on again, and set it on drive. The cop ran over when he heard the engine turn on, but the van sped away down the side of the road before he reached it.
"What the- ?" he cried and ran back into his car, calling for backup over the radio. The sound of multiple police sirens could be heard approaching as he stepped on the gas in hot pursuit of the alleged maniac kidnapper. People stopped in traffic looked on curiously as the vehicles raced past them on the side of the road.
"I'm going to get arrested… I'm going to get arrested…" Jazz was mumbling to herself.
"It's better than being dead!" Danny cried. "That ghost would have probably killed you if we hadn't moved and he found out we were here! He wants to take me to Plasmius, and you're expendable if you get in his way!"
"Who's Plasmius?"
"I'll explain later! GO FASTER!"
"This is as fast as it goes, and this lane is ENDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!"
Danny stared in horror as he saw the shoulder of the road disappeared as the highway lanes narrowed directly in front of them. "I'm going ghost!" he cried for the first time since Vlad had made fun of his so-called 'battle-cry,' and the boy once again became a ghost; his aura illuminated the entire interior van. "When I tell you to, do exactly as I say!' he yelled.
----------------------------------------------------------
"… there are also minor delays on the Amity Expressway, so if you're traveling eastbound today, you may want to plan an alternate route. This is Harriet Chin reporting from news Traffic-Copter 1 and reminding all you motorists to drive safely. Now back to you, Bob." The reporter flipped the switch that turned off the connection to the news studio from the cockpit controls, and threw off her broadcasting headphones in disgust. Her friendly smile had now become a grimace. "I can't believe I'm doing the traffic report for some town in the middle of nowhere!" she complained to the pilot. "I had the career of my dreams working for the Milwaukee Journal, traveling all over the world, but they fired me because they wouldn't believe my story that ghosts are real even though I saw them myself! THIS IS ALL YOUR DOING, JACK FENTON!"
"Uh, Harri?" The pilot asked.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that, Pete?" she fumed, the corners of her mouth were turning into a snarl, and she clenched her fists.
"Whoa, sorry Harriet," he corrected himself. "But I thought you might be interested that there's a high speed police pursuit over there, and it looks from here that the lead car is about to crash."
"Oooh, a police chase! Fly over there, and turn the cameras on! It may not be the story of the century, but it may boost the ratings and I may get a raise!" she said happily and clapped her hands as the helicopter turned around and zoomed directly overhead of where the black van was speeding towards the end of the lane it was in and right at a bunch of cars merging together.
--------------------------------------------------------
Danny and Jazz didn't hear the helicopter following them over the sound of the now multiple police sirens that were quickly gaining on them.
"Crocker's running from the police," Skulker chuckled to himself. "But I still need my scanner back. This should be fun." He powered up his armor and still invisible to humans, flew even closer to the van. "Man, he is a terrible driver. I guess I'll have to stop him from crashing, or my ghost detector will be ruined and I'll never find the boy again." Skulker prepared to stop the van when his eyes widened in surprise.
Danny tightly gripped the seat and closed his eyes after he saw Skulker directly in front of them. "Now!" he cried as he turned the van and its occupants intangible again. Jazz, now intangible herself, veered the car over, and they literally drove right through car after car- still at full speed.
"The ghost boy's in the van?" Skulker said to himself. "Now this changes everything!" he said gleefully as the cannon and other types of his ghostly hunting 'stuff' unfolded out of his armor and he flew faster at them.
------------------------------------------------
"Tell me you got that on tape!" Harriet screeched as she and Pete sat astounded by the fact that the van which was about to crash suddenly vanished and disappeared from sight beneath them. (When something turns intangible it also turns invisible.) They stared at the police cars which came to a screeching halt, a few of them slamming into each other, but they had had enough room to stop before the lane had ended, and nobody had been seriously injured.
"Yeah, I did!" the pilot shouted. "The cameras were on," he added.
"Oh thank goodness! Vanishing vans- maybe this might be the next big story! I'll come up with a proper headline for it later. For now, let's keep flying around. Maybe we'll notice something!"
"Aye aye."
------------------------------------------------
After getting over her initial fear of driving undetected through countless cars, Jazz smiled. "Hey, this is actually pretty cool," she said excitedly as she stepped on the gas and the van went a little faster. "I wish I could do this whenever I wanted. I guess we can go through buildings or anything now, huh?"
"If you want," Danny answered without breaking his concentration.
"Egads! What's going on?" Crocker asked as he groggily woke up and looked around at the cars that they seemed to be moving right through.
"You're having a bad dream," Danny said without looking up. "Go back to sleep." Crocker obeyed and soon was snoring again. "Yes, mother dear."
"I'll pull off over here," Jazz suggested as an exit ramp came up, and she drove through a few slower moving cars before she saw a odd-looking but familiar one drive past them on the road they had just pulled onto.
"Danny! Make us visible again- mom and dad just drove by in the RV! I bet they're looking for us."
Danny opened his blazing green eyes and took his hands off the seat as he became visible himself. The van immediately turned solid again in front of a very surprised driver, who blinked in shock as a dented-up black van suddenly appeared in front of him. Skulker took advantage of their now being visible and fired a volley of ectoplasmic energy blasts from one of his many guns. Even though ghosts can see each other while they are invisible, he now had something he could focus on a little easier. The ray slammed against the top of the truck, and Jazz swerved to dodge the next torrent of explosive discharges.
-----------------------------------------------
"What was that?" Jack asked his wife who had been just as surprised as her husband was. Maddie looked out her side mirror and gaped at what she saw.
"Jack, it's the black van at last! Drop back and follow it!"
"Hang on kids, we'll save ya!" Jack hollered, and slowed down, allowing the RV to drop behind the swerving van. Behind them, a news helicopter had noticed the van reappear a few miles away through their zoom lens on their camera and was in hot pursuit.
--------------------------------------------------
"Jazz, keep driving," Danny told his sister. "I'll try to fend him off," he said as he turned invisible and flew out of the roof.
"Be careful, Danny!" she called desperately trying to avoid the next barrage from Skulker.
Danny flew up to the hunter. "Hey over here!" he called, trying to lure him away from Jazz. They were both invisible to the humans, but could see each other quite clearly.
"Aha, ghost child. Here I thought it would be hard to catch you again, but you proved me wrong. Danny scowled at the hunter as he felt power welling up in his hands and he aimed an enormous ectoplasmic ray at Skulker who dodged it easily.
"One of you is much easier to handle than two," The hunter said as he aimed the cannon at Danny again.
"Oh not this time!" Danny cried as he sped out of the way. He tried to double himself again but couldn't. How did I do it before? I don't even remember what exactly I did- it just kind of happened on its own and I don't know how to control it. He didn't have time to concentrate on it though. He saw Skulker pull out another orb, but Danny blasted it out of his hand. Enraged, the hunter pulled out a crossbow and fired a glowing arrow at him.
"That was my last orb, child!" Skulker yelled as he fired at his prey.
"Danny reached out and snatched the arrow out of the air before it had hit him, and promptly threw it back at full force. This little maneuver had surprised even Skulker, and the arrow knocked square into his chest. Although it did little damage to his battle suit, Skulker was distracted enough to turn visible, while Danny stayed invisible. Skulker didn't seem to care- he could still see Danny and continued fighting anyway. The two went at it and violently kicked and punched each other. Danny soon found himself thrown to the ground. He quickly got up, but found Skulker already had taken aim at him again and fired more ectoplasmic blasts at him.
Danny threw up his arms forming a green energy shield around himself which deflected the blast back up at the hunter, but it dissipated before it reached him.
"Ha! Is that all you've got, child?" Skulker asked mockingly.
Danny flew up and started laughing.
"What's so funny, boy? You won't be laughing when I take you to Plasmius." Suddenly a glob of ectoplasmic goo sailed through the air, encasing Skulker in its stickiness.
"That's what's so funny," Danny said to himself after his parents had fired the goo from the RV. He had seen them preparing to fire a split second before.
"What? No!" he cried as he struggled to free himself from the glowing glue-like substance.
"Yes! Direct hit!" Maddie called to her husband. Jazz had pulled over, and her parents had as well. She got out and explained that a ghost was attacking them, and that the 'kidnapper' had been incapacitated. Jazz also told them Danny was in the back of the van. Her parents were so thankful that they were both okay that they didn't question her any further. As soon as Skulker had become visible, Maddie took aim at him, and as soon as he had floated into range, she fired.
"Way to go, honey!" Jack called as he whipped out a bigger Fenton Thermos from the glove compartment. Danny had lost his somewhere earlier that day. "I built this a while back after my original mysteriously disappeared, just in case. I never thought I'd actually have to use it." He announced as he opened it, and sucked Skulker into it. "Wow, this one actually works! Huzzah!"
Danny stood up, brushed himself off, and breathed another sigh of relief as he flew into the van and turned human. He jumped out of it and greeted his parents happily.
"Mom! Dad!"
"Oh thank heavens!" Maddie and Jack said as they both embraced their children, tears welling up in their eyes. "We thought we'd never see you again," they said.
"Let's just go home," Jazz said and they all piled into the back of the RV. "It's been a long day."
"We have to call the police and let them know we found you and you were safe," Maddie said.
"We have to make sure the police find Crocker too," Jazz remembered. Maddie nodded and made the call on her cell phone. After telling the police where they were, they soon arrived and arrested Crocker. They made sure Danny and Jazz were okay before hauling the skinny man away, even when he was half asleep, and a tow truck came to haul away and impound his van.
The RV pulled away with a very happy reunited family within it. It headed into the sunset which had just begun to appear.
"So, Jack Fenton," Harriet Chin said from the helicopter. "You caught another ghost, and I have the footage to prove it. Maybe we'll have to have a little chat sometime. I think it's time I arrange another interview."
----------------------------------------------------
"Whew, back home at last!" Tucker cried ecstatically as the Specter Speeder pulled through the Fenton Portal and stopped in the lab.
"I started to think I was dead, myself," Sam said. "I usually am the one who has a bleak outlook on life, but right now I feel like happily singing on a Swiss mountaintop like Julie Andrews did in The Sound of Music to express my glee.
"Wow Sam, really?" Tucker asked astounded.
"No."
"Well I'm glad we're all back safe and sound," Wanda said as she and Cosmo hovered up next to Timmy. "And speaking of such, we wouldn't have gotten out without your help, Hans. Thank you."
"Ja, it vas no problem," he responded as they decided to all go outside and leave the Fenton's basement lab.
After clamoring up the stairs and exiting the house to go outside, they noticed Hans started to walk away. "Hey Hans, where are you going?" Sam asked. "We just met you. Why don't you join us and tell us about yourself?"
"Vhat? Oh vell, dere's not much to tell," he replied.
"Well where do you go to school, man?" Tucker asked.
"I go to Casper High School vith my brother."
"No kidding! We go there too! Did you just start?"
"Yeah, I don't think I've seen you around," Sam said.
"No, I've lived here since I vas nine, and I keep mostly to myself. My parents sent me here from Germany."
"Why? Were they werewolves too?" Timmy asked curiously. Hans looked at the ground sadly.
"Vell I suppose I should start at the beginning of my story. My family and I lived in Frankfurt, Germany. My twin brother, Franz and I got along very vell. Ve all lived together in a modest house in the suburbs before the day that changed all of our lives forever."
"What happened?" Wanda asked.
"Vell, our parents vere invited to go out to dinner vith some of their friends. Franz and I stayed home. Ve started vatching a movie on TV vhen a huge racket startled us from outside. I heard glass break from in the kitchen, and a snarling noise- Franz and I both thought it was a big dog that had gotten in and broken da vindow, so I raced to the kitchen to see what had happened, but I shouldn't have.
"Oh no!" Cosmo said as he listened to Hans's story.
"The dog vas enormous, and it stood dere in da kitchen; it's hackles raised and its teeth bared. I froze in fear as it stood up on its hind legs, and I realized dat it vas no ordinary dog- it vas a verevolf. I tried to yell to my brother in da other room to get help, but da verevolf leaped at me and knocked me to da floor. It clawed at me, but I couldn't escape- it left several deep claw marks across my chest before my brother had reached the kitchen to see what had been going on. Vhen he saw us and saw that I vas badly bleeding, he tried to help me get away, but the verevolf lunged at him. I didn't vant it to get him too, so I grabbed its foot, and it tripped before it reached him, his outreached claws stopped inches from Franz's face.
"Oh my gosh!" Sam exclaimed as Timmy's mouth was agape at the terrible story.
"Ja, but luckily da neighbors heard da noise and called da police, thinking dat dere vere burglars at our house. Ve heard police sirens approaching, and dey scared off da creature. It ran into da living room and crashed out da front vindow dere, and disappeared into da darkness.
Vhen da police came to see if ve vere alright, dey saw our situation. Franz vas fine, but I vas cut up pretty badly vhen the creature had scratched me. They asked what had happened, and ve both said that it vas just a large dog that had gotten in. Franz nodded, because he knew if he told dem da truth, da police vould take me away forever. They called some medics who came and took care of me, and gathered some info from Franz about the "dog" so that they could go look for it.
Vhen our parents came home and saw the scene, they vere vorried about us. Once everyone had left, they asked us again what had happened. I told dem da truth, because I knew dey would be in danger if I didn't. They believed me."
"So what did they do?" Tucker asked.
"Vell, dey knew dey couldn't keep me at home in case I transformed and hurt someone, so dey sent me to live at my Aunt and Uncle Schultz's cabin in the boro of Forest Park, which isn't too far from here. Dey took me in just fine, and even built a special basement for me to stay in during da full moon."
"But you can transform at will. It wasn't a full moon," Sam said.
"No, I can transform partially at vill," Hans answered. "I can kind of change halfway between forms if I need to. Dey call it a volfa- half human, half volf."
"A wolfa?" Sam said.
"Hey, that's kind of like what the ghosts call Danny, but he's a halfa." Tuckered whispered to her.
"Shut it," she quietly scolded back. She was still worried about Danny, but knew Jazz was with him, and that they could probably handle what ever came their way. She changed the subject. "So what's it like being a full werewolf?" she directed her question back at Hans.
"I don't really know. I have no control of it, and my Aunt and Uncle lock me in da basement before I transform on da night of da full moon, so I don't hurt anyone. I vouldn't vant to hurt anyone, like the one that got me, ja know. Vhen it's all over, I never remember anything."
"Well it's a good thing it's not a full moon tonight!" Cosmo said.
"Yes," Hans said.
"Does it ever get lonely?" Sam asked.
"A little, but my brother came to stay vith me after I had been gone for 6 months. Apparently he couldn't bare to be alone without me, since we had always been together. He ran away and was able to catch a ride to France from a friend, and from there he gave him some money for a plane ticket to fly here. Our parents begged him to go back to dem vhen he arrived here, but he persisted to stay vith me, and I was delighted to see him again. Mom and dad finally let him be, ve stayed with Aunt and Uncle Schultz until they passed away recently."
"That's terrible! I'm so sorry." Wanda said. "Who do you live with now?"
"Vell, dey left deir cabin and deir fortune to us vhen ve ver 15. Dat vas a year ago."
"So you two live by yourselves?"
"Yes. Hardly anyone knows my secret. You are the only ones I have told besides my family, my girlfriend Cherie, and somehow Luis found out."
"Who's Luis?" Timmy asked.
"I suppose you can call him my arch foe. I can't stand him- he's a vampire from Spain."
"Well golly," Wanda said. "You sure have had some rotten luck. Maybe the anti-fairies had something to do with it."
"I don't know, but I try to make da most of it."
"Speaking of bad luck, how did you get captured by Skulker, anyway?" Sam asked.
"Oh, he caught me while I was trying to sleep about a veek ago. I awoke to find myself face to face with him, but before I could do anything, he held up a metal sphere, and it released some kind of burning red gas that knocked me out. I awoke to find myself in a cage. I have to call Franz and Cherie to tell them I am okay. They are probably vorried after all dis time."
The Fenton's RV pulled up next to them as Hans finished his story. They sky was getting dark, and the summer air was getting a little cooler as the doors opened and all the family members got out.
Cosmo and Wanda changed back into the green jacket and pink wristwatch that they had been earlier, as Sam and Tucker let out a happy cry of relief that Danny and Jazz were okay. They both hugged their friends.
"We were so worried about you guys!" Sam said.
"Yeah, don't ever let that happen again!" Tucker said as he pulled out his PDA and typed a message: "Remember to stay away from crazed kidnappers."
"Hey, you look familiar," Jazz said as she saw Hans. "Are we in class together or something?"
"Ja, I think so," he replied.
"Oh, you're that quiet kid who always hangs out with Franz and Cherie, right? Hey, you look like you could be his twin."
"I am his twin- my name is Hans. Do you know my brother?"
"Not too well, but I have seen him around. You'll have to introduce me to him and Cherie sometime; they seem very nice."
"Of course."
"Hey, it's nice to meet you, Hans," Danny said as he walked over and extended his hand to shake.
"Same here," he replied as he took it.
"Well, are you hungry, Hans?" Maddie asked. I'm just about to make dinner. Would you like to join us?"
Hans's eyes lit up. He was so hungry he had forgotten about being hungry (if that's somehow possible). Having nothing but ghost mush to eat in the ghost zone hadn't done much to fill his stomach. His stomach growled as he remembered just how hungry he really was. "Vell okay, but I need to make a call to Forest Park first."
"Well you are welcome to use the phone," Maddie said.
"Thank you," Hans replied as they made their way back into the house.
Timmy took one last look at the now darkened sky as he noticed the sliver of moon that shone was nowhere near to being full. "Well guys, I guess we can stay for dinner and head back to Dash's house. I'm so glad to have you back- I was so worried."
"We we worried we'd never see you again, either," Cosmo and Wanda replied as Timmy walked inside after everyone else.
"Okay!" Jack said. "I'll be right up- I'm just going to release this ghost back to where it belongs!" he said as he anxiously ran down the steps and released Skulker back into his own realm of the dead. He closed the portal's doors and ran his hand over the Specter Speeder as he made his way past it and back up the stairs.

Aw, nothing like a little happy ending (for now). Day two still hasn't completely ended yet- Muwahahaha! I'll tell you right now that the next chapter will be entitled "Dinner Disaster" so you can imagine what that will entail. Oooh, I'm so evil, but still trying to live up to the rating. Let me know what you thought- I love reading your critiques so I can try to improve my writing. Thanks again to all of you!
I don't know how long it will take me to finish the next part. I will be away for a while, but I will get to work on it as soon as I can.
