Chapter 3: Trouble in L.A.

"But how could they possibly do that?" Tucker exclaimed, hearing the bad new from Danny.

"I'm not entirly sure, but whatever they're going to do with the money, we're going to stop them!" Danny said. For if they didn't stop the thugs, they would have their own money supply and be able to get away with almost anything. Mac was stunned to hear that he ended up in a state filled with thugs. But none-the-less, he stayed focused and to the plan.

Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Mac crept all around the hotel, desperatly trying to get out of there without them knowing. But the thugs were catching up to them. Finally, they were chasing them out the door and into a new red jeep, which so happened to be owned by the famous Tony Hawk. But Danny and the others didn't even want to care...until Danny realized...

"Wait, WE'RE TOO YOUNG TO DRIVE!"

"Who cares!" Tucker yelled. "Just floor it! The others are gaining on us!" So the four drove off in a ditch effort to escape the thugs. Ruthless driving went on during the next hour. They passed stop signs and hit other cars, but they didn't stop or turn around for a minute, until...

Just as they were about to pass another stop sign, a big truck hit the side of the car. They sent the four flying, but none of them were hurt badly, except...

Later that day, at a hospital, Sam, Tucker and Mac were waiting by Danny's bed for him to wake up. The car crash did not harm Danny physically or mentally, but it did leave him in a coma for a few hours. Finally, Danny's eyes began to open as he saw Sam, Tucker and Mac sitting by his bedside.

They had told Danny that the accident had knocked him out and left him with a few bruises. They also mentioned that Tucker's PDA wasn't actually his PDA. Everyhting was set straight in that hospital that day because they had all the time to discuss what had happned earlier. But what they didn't know is that the thugs are not the only villians taking part in this adventure.

Behind the walls, Walker was listening in on their conversation, and then he began to wonder.

"They obviously know what my minions are planning." He said, angered. "Now things are going to get rough if I'm ever going to get back at thta ghost boy." He picked up the PDA. "But now on the bright side, with all of this money, I will be able to buy myself the greatest technology to destroy them forever! I will reign from the heavens and be remembered as, Walker the Wicked Killer! Nobody will ever question my power again."

"Soon, I will be able to escape from the ghost zone permanetly and finally rule Earth. No one will be able to stop me, and then I will have all the money I will ever need. I shall be INVINCIBLE!" Walker gave an evil grin, then flew to the bottom floor to see how production was doing.

Down in the basement, thugs were starting up machines and producing money. On one side, Walker hooked up the PDA and transferred its data of money into the machine. AFter a few minutes, on the other side, money-one dollar bills, five dollar bills, ten dollar bills, twenty dollar bills, fifty dollar bills, and hundred dollar bills were coming out and they looked like actual money. Soon, their total money production was: $32,498,103 and going up every second.

"This makes no sense." Tucker said, rubbing his chin. "If Walker really is behind this, then why?"

"All I know is that he's going to use the money to buy some wicked the ma-" Danny stopped and thought in a flashback.

"I have upgraded Jack's Ecto-skeleton with the lightning rod and the Ecto-converter for a limitless power supply so it doesn't waste you.- Vlad Masters-Secret Weapons.

"Wait a minute, I kno what Walker's up to!" Danny shouted, in pain. "Walker is planning to buy the Ecto-skeleton for Plasmius to use it against me!"

"How is that possible?" Mac asked. "And what'sa n Ecto-skeleton?"

"A few months ago my dad invented a suit that links to your kinetic energy. But when a big ghost invasion hit Amity Park, I had to use it. That was when it got lost. So now Walker must've founf it and wants to buy it from Vlad."

"But what would Walker do with it?"

"Duh, he's gonna use it to take over the world and rid it of us. We have to find those thugs' hideout and stop their money making and defeat Walker, and get back to north Dakota."

"I still find it hard to believe that FRankie and Madame Foster sent you here b one grammer mistake." Sam said.

"Actually, they made twelve." Mac corrected while Sam slapped her head with both hands.

"Mac, when we get home, remind me to strangle them later." Danny said, sarcastically.

"Ah, the sweet smell of money." Walker said, holding up a hundred dollar bill. "At this rate, We'll be living large before Opera airs."

"Um, boss, delivery for you." One of the thugs said, bringing in a big statue that looked a lot like the Ecto-skeleton. SO Walker went to the door to see who it was.

"Nice to see you remembered your promise." Walker said to Vlad Plasmius, while paying him the money he owed.

"Nice to see you remember your pay." Plasmius said back.

"Where should we start?" Mac asked. "I mean L.A. is really big, so they could be anywhere, right?"

"You know, I have an idea." Danny said, pulling out Walker's hair.

"Tucker, your PDA has a tracking device right? So if I insert this hair into this slot..." As he did. "...This should be able to lead us right to Walker." Just then, the PDA exploded.

"Got any other ideas." Tcker asked sarcastically. Just then anny's ghost sense went off as the four saw Walker storming a jewlery store.

"What do you think he's doing?" Mac asked with a stern look on this face.

"Probably looking for a way to upgrade the Ecto-suit even more. I just wonder how he's gonna use it." Just at that moment, Danny switched to ghost mode and followed Walker into the ground. There he saw machines with money in them, and producing money. Plus, next to a machine, he saw none other than his dad's Ecto-skeleton, upgraded with 24k gold, the lightning rod, the ect-converter, and some otheer ghost weapons and powers.

He flew back up to his friends to tell them the news. But none of them were surprised to hear that Walker was going to use the Ecto-skeleton to take over the world. But they weere surprised to hear that he got it from Vlad.

"How could Vlad get the Ecto-skeleton from your dad if it got lost?" Tucker asked in major confusion. "It makes no sense. This is really confusion."

"Yeah. I'm not following any of this." Mac said dizzy. Sam just sighed.

"Well whatever happen..." Danny began, changing back to human form. "...we can't let Walker use that Skeleton to destroy us."

"What do we do first?" Sam asked.

"Yes, yes, everyting is going according to plan." Vlad Plasmius said, with an evil look in his face. " Walker has the Ecto-ssuit, Daniel and his little friends...what the...?" He looked closely as Mac. "Wait a minute, that's the kid that was my guest. Oh...sugar biskits!" He shook in anger.

"Oh well, I'll just have to make sure nobody harms him. Hmmm, that gives me an idea." He picked up the phone and began to call every ghost in the ghost zone.

"Talk, woman! Where is your little grandmother!" Skluker shouted to Frankie, while grabbing her by the collar. Then, Wilt came in and Technus came out of nowhere and charges at him.

"Talk! Where is that blob friend of yours?" Technus shouted. He was refering to Bloo.

"You people have harmed Mac long enough. Now, face our deadly wrath!" Skulker shouted, while his hands began to glow a dark green.

Technus punched Wilt and sent him flying, only to have Dan catch himand start punching him. The house was now declared...under attack.

To be continued.
Wow, this has to be the longest chapter I ever wrote for anything. Next cahpter will mostly focus on the house, but I'll make brief descriptions for Danny, Sam, Tucker and Mac. It really is trouble in L.A. Next time!
