That morning, Danny had awoken rudely. Someone had been shaking him. He'd jerked, trying to get free, slamming his head up against the headboard of his bed. "What the… Jazz?" He blinked.
"Danny, you have to get out there. There are monsters all over town. Mom and Dad put up the ghost shield right away to cover as much of the town as it can and then headed out."
"The ghost shield's up? Then why did they go outside it?"
"It can only cover so much and they're trying to get people in under cover. A lot of people are still sleeping in their houses. Danny, you have to go out there! The monsters are tearing down buildings! If there are people in those buildings…" she shuddered.
"I'm on it, Jazz."
She handed him a Fenton Thermos. "Mr. Gray is handling the ops center, like the last time we were invaded. He made me show him how to work some things, since Mom and Dad aren't here, that's why it took so long for me to come up here and wake you up."
"You know how the stuff works?"
"Well, I am a Fenton, aren't I? You know how Dad blathers on." She laughed seriously, then was serious again. "Be careful out there, little brother."
"I will, Jazz," he assured her, then stood up in his bed. "Going ghost!" he cried and the white rings she'd first seen what seemed like so long ago formed around him.
Danny Phantom dived through the wall.
She went to the window to wave goodbye, then headed back downstairs. She knew how to work the ghost fighting gear. She hadn't been much help to Danny before, but she'd been practicing.
That simulation helmet really was a great workout. She'd never been in such good shape.
Once again, she was wearing a blue hazmat suit. Must be the end of the world.
She sobered. She shouldn't even think such a thing.
She headed for the door, saw Valerie and froze. The two of them stared at each other like kids caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
"I wasn't trying to sneak out!" Valerie said quickly.
Mr. Gray had asked Jazz to watch Valerie and Danny. Jazz thought quickly. If she stayed here, she could tell him they had gone back to bed. She was almost an adult, he would trust her.
If he called up to find here gone too, then not only would Valerie be in trouble but Danny would too. Jazz could tell them Danny had been fighting ghosts with her…
Valerie was a ghost hunter too, she'd found out from Danny's files. A very good one, with a ghostly-powered suit.
"Why are you in a hazmat suit?" Valerie asked wonderingly. If Jazz had been trying to sneak out too, Valerie was obviously hoping she could blackmail Jazz into not saying she had left. Jazz's parents had ordered here to stay here.
Jazz laughed nervously. "Uh, nevermind." Now that Valerie had been caught, she might wait before trying to sneak out again. She was needed out there. "Go. I'll cover for you. Danny will help."
Valerie tried to look innocent. "Go? Outside? Are you crazy? There are ghosts out there?"
"You're the red ghost hunter. Now hurry and help my parents find people and bring them inside the safety of the ghost shield!" Jazz ordered and pointed to the door.
"How do you know that?" Valerie asked suspiciously.
Think fast. "I was coming to when Danny Phantom ripped off your mask. Now hurry up! I'll cover for you."
"Thank you!" Valerie wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. She ran out the door and Jazz heard her fly off.
Now to change out of this gear before…. "Jazz?" she heard a shout from the opps center.
"Yes?" she called down the stairs, peeling the hazmat suit off from over her clothes.
"Can you turn on the television and tell me what the reporters on Ghost Watch are saying? I can't get any readings even after you showed me how to get at the detection system!"
He couldn't detect any ghosts? "Sure! I'll listen and then come down and help you! I already put Valerie back to bed in my room!" It was… 3:04 am now.
She finished removing the suit and stashed it under a couch cushion before going to turn on the TV in the kitchen.
"This is Tiffany Snow with action news and this is the Ghost Emergency Broadcast System. Two hours have now passed since the mysterious monsters appeared. The Fenton Ghost Shield covers much of our town, but the monsters are still rampaging outside of it. With more on that, we go to Lance Thunder."
The scene shifted to Lance standing with the edge of the ghost shield behind him. "Tiffany, people are waking up and running for the shelter of the Ghost Dome, including this reporter. As you can see behind me, there are monsters destroying homes and buildings. Back to you, Tiffany."
"Strangely, Amity Park is not the only town suffering attacks by these monsters! They are appearing and causing destruction all throughout the world! According to a source in Japan, Kaiba Corporation, the creator of holographic technology, is thought to be held responsible for this, although the CEO, Seto Kaiba, has denied the allegations. So, for once, this isn't the fault of Jack Fenton and his ghost portal."
Jazz felt outraged on behalf of her father for a second, but had to admit it was true.
Lance continued. "The Fentons are outside the safety of the dome in the Fenton Family Assault Vehicle, trying to awaken the citizens still outside. They have been joined by Danny Phantom, the ghost who many consider a hero since he is believed to have saved the town during the last invasion."
Tiffany broke in, excited. "We go now to our eye in the sky, who has found Danny Phantom and is filming him live!"
The scene changed to a picture distorted by distance and tinted green by the ghost shield. It was Danny, blasting monsters left and right. Strangely, they seemed to be just disappearing instead of being sucked into the Thermos.
Jazz hoped her little brother would be careful. A blast just missed him.
"It looks like Danny Phantom has been joined by the mysterious Pink Ranger."
Jazz cringed. Pink Ranger? That was almost as bad as Inviso-Bill. And wasn't it copyrighted?
"Jazz! I could use some help!"
"Coming!" She raced downstairs to the lab.
