Chapter 19: Racing into The Ghost Zone

Danny raced off to his house to find where Pariah Dark was keeping Mrs. Clause. But he got side-tracked signing autographs. Once he finally got home to his lab, he flew into the portal, and he entered the ghost zone. Once there, it was easy to get to Mrs. Clause's hiding place.

While traveling in the ghost zone, he met up with Clockwork, the master of time. Clockwork told Danny that he saw Mrs. Clause being carried to his lair. Clockwork led Danny to his lair and showed him to Mrs. Clause. Mrs. Clause was tied up in an ecto-net, and was being lowered slowly to a big ghost blade.

Danny used an energy bomb from his supplies compartment of the ecto-suit. It cut Mrs. Clause out of the net, but she dropped rapidly to the blade. So Danny used a Plasma Blast to capture Mrs. Clause and let her down easily. After that performance, Danny had 92 power.

"Oh, thank you ghost boy." Mrs. Clause said. "I adore you always. Listen, you have to head over to Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. The ghosts have a bomb ready to blow up the house once your ghost shield wears off. Hurry. I'll be able to get to the North Pole myself."

"How about if my clone takes you." Danny said. He duplicated himself into 2 ghosts. One of them took Mrs. Clause. The real Danny took off in an instant and headed for Fosters. He had only 30 minutes to get to Fosters and save the world.

"Alright. I only have a half-hour to get back to Fosters and fight the ghosts before they light up that bomb. Thankfully…" Danny pulled out the Sword of Saint Nick. "…I have this to help me. I wonder how it works." He studied the sword for a minute. "I'll figure it out when I get there." Danny out the sword back into his pocket and flew out of the ghost zone.

Meanwhile, back at Fosters, Mac was walking towards the house, when all of a sudden, he was blasted into the sidewalk.

"Good work, Ember." Skulker said. "That should keep him knocked out for…"

"FOR LONG ENOUGH FOR YOU TO SHUT YOU MOUTH AND LET ME CRUSH YOU LOT!" A voice shouted. It was Danny Phantom. "Do you ever shut up for more than a minute?

"Back off. We already have the bomb set up. Now, as soon as the shield wears off, we can light it and destroy the house."

"Nice try." Danny said rushing towards Skulker and knocking him back. But then he was knocked back by Ember. Then, Danny split into four ghosts and fought Ember. After that he had 80 power left.

"Not so hot on power, are you?" Technus remarked. Then, he took all the electrical things in Fosters and made an ultimate fight machine with it. Then, it was Danny vs. Technus.

"This is pointless." Skulker said. "We'll let you enjoy Christmas, however, tomorrow, you must join us in the ghost zone for a ghost boy tournament. If you win, we won't kill you."

"Done. I'll see youDecember 26that 6 pm." Danny said. The others ghosts left the planet and went back into the ghost zone. Then he went back to the factory to pick up the others.

Danny was in a great mood, because it was Christmas tomorrow.

When it was time to go home, Danny flew Mac home so he'd be in a good mood for Christmas.

"Man. I remember the last Christmas we spent together." Danny said, reflecting on the past.

Flashback from five years ago

Mac was sitting on the couch, watching T.V.

"Hey Mac, do you want to help me put the star on the tree?" Danny asked.

"I don't feel good." Mac said.

"What's wrong?"

"I feel tired, and sore." Mac lied down on the couch and closed his eyes."

"Hey, what's going on?" Bloo asked. "Is Mac feeling okay?"

"Nope. I'm going to put him to bed. You help Jazz finish decorating the Christmas tree."

"Aw, but it's only 6:30."

"How do you know how to tell time?"

"Mac taught me."

"Wow. This kid is smart."

Flashback ends

Danny walked downstairs to the lab. He decided to take a trip into the ghost zone. While in there, he saw all the ghosts preparing for the tournament. The tournament was on the day after Christmas. But he was as nervous as a turkey not wanting to be cooked on Thanksgiving.

Danny managed to find Clockwork's lair. He chattered with Clockwork a bit. He told him about his problem. Clockwork gave Danny all the advice he could. Danny left the ghost zone and headed home. Danny hoped Mac would be in a better mood than the last time he spent Christmas with him. But little did he know, the challenge he would have to face would be the mst devestating one he ever faced. Is Danny ready for this?

To be continued.
