Part 9
Danny dug his face in his hands and tried to forget everything that was happening.
"Since you're already a ghost, I can blast you to oblivion, for eternity," Dan smiled, preparing another ghost ray.
"Danny?" Jazz wiped away a tear and looked at her brother, "Is that really you?"
Maddie and Jack opened their eyes and looked at their son.
"Danny! You're okay!" she happily shouted.
Jazz ran to her brother and hugged him.
He wasn't paying attention and did feel his sister hug him, he wanted everything to stop and disappear.
Dan blasted the ray and smiled at what he was about to accomplish.
"NO!" screamed a voice.
A figure pushed Danny out of the way and was hit by the blast instead.
"What the?" Dan gasped at what happened.
"Danny looked at the one who saved him.
It was Danny Phantom.
"Wait, how are you here and over there?" Jazz let go of her brother and just stared in confusion.
"No!" he screamed and ran to him.
"It's okay, I'll survive. I'll distract him, you get that energy to get back in our body," Phantom slowly stood up and flew at Dan.
Fenton remember what the Oracle said about the energy.
"It has to come out of someone's body," he whispered to himself, "When they…die."
He turned to Sam's body and saw a little orb coming out of her mouth.
Tucker was kneeled next to Sam and Jazz was comforting him.
"Tucker! Do you see that Orb?" shouted Danny.
Tucker looked up at him and shook his head.
"It's right there! Coming out of her mouth!"
Jazz and Tucker looked at each other.
He's delusional, they thought in their heads.
"Why can't you see it?" Danny shouted.
"Dude, there's no Orb," responded Tucker.
"There is! Right there!"
"Danny, I think you should rest for a while, you're probably going crazy," suggested Jazz.
"They can't see it?" he asked himself.
Danny Phantom was shooting blasts at Dan and was missing every time. He looked at Danny and at Sam's body.
"Danny! Hurry up! Get that Orb thing coming out of Sam's mouth!" he shouted at Fenton.
Fenton was a little confused.
"Ghosts must be the only ones who can see the Orbs," he whispered under his breathe.
"Danny!" screamed Phantom, now being chased by Dan.
"Oh yeah," he realized and ran to Sam's body, grabbing the Orb.
"I have it now!" he shouted to Phantom, "So what do I do?"
"Just wait there, and try to protect everyone in case they get in the way!" Phantom shouted back
He flew to a corner and went invisible.
"Come out, come out wherever you are," Dan smiled, flying around, "You can run, but you can't hide."
He flew around and threw a few cars, causing people to run around screaming.
Danny reappeared above Dan and blasted him hard into the ground. He took a deep breathe and screamed out a powerful Ghostly Wail, making Dan unconscious.
"Danny! Hurry, before he wakes up!" Phantom shouted.
Fenton looked at him and then at the Orb in his hands.
What should I do? Sam is dead and she won't be able to live again if I use this. I won't be able to live either if I use this on her. But Sam isn't here, Danny Fenton's thoughts were jumbled in his head.
A squawk was heard from above him and he looked up, seeing Elle's bird flying down.
But someone was on its back.
"Sam?" Danny looked at her.
"Sam!" shouted Tucker, looking up.
"Sam?" Jazz stared at her.
"Sam?" her mother looked at her daughter, "You're okay!"
Sam jumped off the bird's back and her mother gave her a tight hug.
"I was so worried!" her mother cried.
Elle's raven gave one final squawk before taking off.
"Danny! You're alive!" she ran out of her mother's arms and hugged him.
"Not exactly, I'm a ghost. And so are you."
"Whoa, hold up. She's a ghost? You're a ghost?" Tucker asked in confusion.
"You're both ghosts?" asked Jazz.
"I-I'm a ghost?" she looked at her body and gasped.
"Yeah, but we don't have much time. Quick, on the count of three, jump on to your body."
"What? Why?"
"Just do it! One…two…three! Go!"
Danny put the Orb into the mouth of Sam's body and she jumped on top of it, blending into it.
Sam lay motionless on the ground.
"Sam?" Fenton wondered if it worked.
She opened her eyes and sat up.
"Hey," she looked at her hands and body, "I'm alive again?"
"You are!" Tucker hugged her.
"Hey! She is alive!" Jazz shouted in glee.
"It worked!" said Danny.
"Danny!" shouted Phantom, "What's going on?"
Fenton realized what he just did.
"Oh no…" he whispered.
"Danny? What's going on?" asked Tucker.
"I don't have that much time so I'll keep it short and simple. There's two ways for me to get back into my body and live again and I just ruined the first one," he explained.
"But why is your future self here?" asked Sam.
"I don't know. He must've escaped from the Fenton Thermos."
"But there's two ways for you to live. What's the second one?" asked Tucker.
"I don't know! But I have no idea how to get back to Ghost Zone to find out."
"Danny!" Phantom flew over to the four, "What's taking so long? Where's the Orb?"
"I…used it," Fenton confessed.
"What! How? Why?" he was confused, "How are we supposed to get back into our body?"
"I don't know. But I had to give it to Sam! I'd rather have her live than me!"
"Wait, just do the second way," suggested Sam.
"We can't! We have no idea how to get back to the Ghost Zone!" Danny Fenton shouted angrily.
"Vlad's portal," Phantom whispered, "We can use Plasmius's portal to get back!"
"Plasmius? In Wisconsin?"
"It's a last resort."
Fenton was about to say something when Sam interrupted.
"Last resort's fine, how do expect to get there when you're future self is here?"
Phantom looked back at the unconscious Dan.
"Danny, you stay here," Fenton ordered, "I'll go to Wisconsin."
"What happens if he wakes up?" asked Jazz.
"Then stall."
"Stall? For two days? We can't do that!" Tucker shouted.
"Then use some of the Fenton Ghost Gear."
"We can't, the explosion destroyed everything," responded Jazz.
Maddie and Jack were looking at the kids talking to each other.
"Hey, it's that ghost boy," noticed Maddie.
"It is! I say we use the Ghost Magnet on him!" Jack took out the magnet out of his pocket, "We can finally put his baby to use."
"Wait Jack, remember what that other ghost said? How Danny was always part ghost? I think that's him."
"What? You actually believe that guy? He's a ghost! Ghosts can't be trusted!"
"I don't know, haven't you ever noticed how Danny was always gone when the ghost boy is around?"
"Well yeah, but how about that time when we were at the Peir, you weren't there but Danny and the ghost boy were. Our son almost hit him with the Specter Speeder!"
"I know, but let's not take any chances."
"Chances, shmances. Jack Fenton isn't some common sense kind of guy."
He ran to Danny Phantom, turning the magnet on.
"Jack! Get back here!" Maddie shouted after him.
Danny Fenton looked behind him and saw his father coming with the Ghost Magnet.
"Of course, the Ghost Magnet! Dad! Give me the magnet!" he shouted at his dad.
Jack thought Danny was going to use it on Danny Phantom so he threw it to him.
"It's turned on, so all you have to do is press that button over there and BAM! The ghost boy is toast, a new feature I added," Jack instructed.
"What? You want me to hurt him?" Danny pointed to Phantom.
"Of course! That's what ghost hunters do! You have it in your blood!"
"Uh…dad? I'm not going to use it for that."
"What?"
You see that ghost over there?" Danny pointed to Dan.
"You're going to use it on that ghost? Well go on ahead! I'll be over there with your mother, make me proud!"
Jack ran back.
"Okay…Times like this makes me happy that my parents don't have jobs," said Sam.
"Me too," said Tucker.
"So now we have the Ghost Magnet, I'll use this on him when he wakes up. He'll get too weak to hurt us," said Danny Phantom.
"Okay, we're all set. All I have to find out is how to get to Wisconsin using up as less time as I can," said Danny Fenton.
"Just fly as fast as you can without stopping. Be careful," said Jazz.
"I will," he smiled at his sister and then turned to his friends, "So I guess I have to leave now. Good luck."
Sam gave him a hug.
"You better get back, I'll be waiting," she whispered.
She let go of him and Danny Fenton flew off, taking one last look of the friends and family that he's leaving.
"I'll get back, I promise," he whispered and took off.
