This is kind of long, but the chapter after it is longer. Chapter 9/8 is not written yet. Hope anyone reading enjoys.

Chapter 6: Imprisonment and explanations

Danny woke up. He knew that the wolf had closed its mouth onto him. Danny knew he had not been eaten, thankfully, but he still didn't want to open his eyes.

He tried to think. He was in human form, he was sure. Gone was the power of his ghost body. He also had the eating feeling he was in the Ghost Zone.

There was vague pain and a lot of discomfort. His arms were held above him. A brick wall was pressed into his back and the back of his arms. Whatever held up his arms was cold, and locked on his wrists. Something else had his waist. It was keeping him to the wall. Two more things had held his ankles to the floor far enough so his legs were strait and pushed into the brick ground, making him sit in an uncomfortable 90-degree angle.

Danny opened his eyes, he was in a dungeon; Shackled against the floor and wall. He heard a cough. Someone else was in the there with him, against the opposite wall. He couldn't tell who it was. His vision was clouded. He could only see colors.

He saw a brown head—hair of course, red around the neck (Danny was sure it wasn't blood), a purple torso, and blue legs. Danny blinked a few times, his vision cleared quickly. Dana sat there, her head hung.

Danny attempted to phase through the shackles, not having the strength to become full ghost. Apparently he didn't have the strength to go intangible either. Don't I become intangible if I'm weak sometimes? Danny wondered. The glowing blue shackle on his left ankle caught his eye. It was different from the others. It was keeping him from doing anything ghostly.

Nothing to do now but strike up a conversation.

"Dana?" He wondered. "Wake up." She looked up at him, giving no sign she had been out.

"I've been awake. There was no point to hold up my head, was there?"

"I guess not. How'd you get here?"

"I can ask you the same question."

"The ghost wolves had you too, didn't they?"

"Yup."

"So what can we do now, Dreama?" He asked, waiting for her response to using her wolf name. He knew she had been the wolf and the owl.

"I don't know, Phantom." She countered. Danny should have known: if she had been awake the whole time, she would have seen him turn back into a human. "It seems that we can't get out."

"You can't morph your way out of that?"

"You can't phase your way out of that?"

"Touché." He figured she was just going to throw everything he said back at him. "So why can't you?"

She sighed. "You weren't awake when they locked us up. See these shackles? They tighten onto the part of the body they hold; so different sized people and ones who can collapse their bones couldn't escape. If I tried to become an owl, it would quickly crush my wings, my stomach, and my talons."

"So your wolf form has the same problem?"

"Not exactly." She tried to look us at her hands, "Actually, if I could just transformed my ankles, midsection, and wrists then un-transform very quickly I can slip out. Unfortunately, I can't. I can only become whole of the animal."

"Can't you still get out?
"You don't know wolf biology, do you?"

"Nope."

"Wolves can't have their forelegs above their heads." She waved her fingers for emphasis. "Skin and muscle would pull to breaking point. That's painful and stupid. Like trying to pull your arms off."

"Ouch."

"And your problem?"

Danny looked at the blue shackle. "That thing. It keeping me from doing anything."

She sighed again. "Looks like we're going to be here for a while." She looked at Danny.

"Yup." He smiled. She was trying to get him to talk about his powers. But he wanted more answers then she did. "So what is Darksun planning? And how can you morph?"

"Sorry, Danny. I won't give answers that easy. Maybe if you tell me how you came to become half human…"

"Is that all?"

"Seriously, you go first. Then I promise that I will tell my story. And believe me: in my world, a promise is a promise."

"Your world?"

"Yes, my world."

Danny's curiosity beat his drive to keep his secret. "Fine." He began explaining.

And when he was done, Dana smiled.

"What? You think it's funny?"

"No, it's just that our stories are so similar."

"Whatever. It's your turn."

"My story starts two years ago, in a different town. I'm not allowed to tell you where. My parents also had a lab in their basement. But they did genetic experiments for the government. My stepbrother, Sunny, and I were never allowed down there. We knew what they told us, but we wanted to see what was really there. Like monsters or part-humans.

"One day, we got our chance. Our parents had to go report, leaving us home for the weekend. We easily copied the passwords and went in. There were some cages, some had creatures, and others were empty. There was also a large machine. We got close to inspect it…then there was a power surge. The machine had been on power save, and the surge brought it to life…"

"Go on." Urged Danny.

"It took hold of us and put two different needles into each of our bloodstreams. Once we were free we high-tailed it out of the basement.

"After a few of days, whatever had been injected into us must have settled or something; because we started to morph, by accident, at different times. Either a wolf or an owl, then a wolf with owl wings. Sunny had been injected with a Mexican wolf formula and a Great Horned owl formula. I had been injected with a Timber wolf and Barn owl. It didn't take long for us to control it.

"A couple of months ago, we went flying as the winged wolves. We landed in the local woods-slash-park. Someone was coming, so we tried to become owls. I had, but Sunny…" She stopped again.

"He didn't."

She shook her head, or tried to. "I got him to fly home. But while we flew he had gotten away. I couldn't find him, so I was forced to go the rest of the way. Sunny never came home. I told Mom and Dad that I didn't know what where he had gone or what had happened to them.

"Weeks later, after Sunny had become legally missing, we were watching the news. There was a story about a farmer who had shot and killed a mutant wolf. They showed a picture of the body." She added sadly, "The government believed it had been an escaped experiment. They told us we had to move; cover our tracks."

"So you moved to Amity Park."

"Uh-huh."

"Sunny…err…Darksun, he and his army… they're not going to…kill anyone, are they?"

"No! Sunny is not a killer. And I'm sure Darksun isn't either."

"Then what are they going to do?"

"He's going to take every human from the surrounding areas and put them in this underworld. It isn't as bad as killing, at least that what he's telling himself. Then he'll return us to town."

"Good: we can still save them if they're alive. And it's called the Ghost Zone."

There were sounds outside the dungeon door.
