Alright, next chapter is up! I hope you guys enjoy it. Seems people really like this episode. Also, I've decided to answer back to some of my reviewers, just to make the AN a little longer and I'm sure you guys would appreciate an answer back.
Captivity: if it was something major like character death I wouldn't be too lazy to edit it. But something small like one lousy day didn't seem like a big deal to me. Regardless I changed it, but don't expect it to be constant. ^^' But I'm curious, that interaction with Andy and Paulina is now making you want to ship them? That's... interesting.
Guest: I think everyone is looking forward to how people, especially Vlad, will react to the new ghost boy. I think it should be obvious about where I'm going with their elemental cores. But you may want to re-read the last chapter if you're wondering what Andy smells from Tucker's cologne, it has been mentioned.
Calm: I wasn't going to ignore Andy's powers like that, and I always do have an idea. :3 You want to know the real reason why I stopped updating my DBZ fanfiction? It's not because I'm too busy, it's mostly because I hadn't been in the fandom in quite some time. That and I'm ashamed by my horrible grammar and misspelled words since I didn't have the proper document back then. It'll take forever to re-edit it all and I've already lost the original files to them. I'm not sure if I'll continue it to be honest.
Muney73: Yeah, Andy does seem smart enough to figure out combinations for his powers, sadly that won't be for a while until he accepts and gets used to his ghost powers. It should be pretty obvious what Andy's core is going to be, but as for the electric core idea I've always assumed Vlad had that since he uses electricity to shock Danny a lot.
OMNISENSE95: Yeah, Andy really doesn't trust himself. I'm not really sure what you mean by Andy being proof Danny is losing it in The Fenton Menace episode since Danny wasn't really losing it. And yes, you're right, Andy will not develop all the same powers as Danny- he will have his own unique set of powers.
Rune: Most people either forget or don't pay attention to detail, especially early on in the story. So to them it'd make sense Andy's eyes would be inverted from his brother's eyes. And you're right, Andy is a stubborn boy, but then what Fenton isn't? And yeah, the core is pretty obvious what it's going to be as I wanted it to compliment Danny's ice core. The electric core most likely belongs to Vlad and I don't want Andy taking the same core another halfa already has. And I didn't know Danny was originally spectated to have an electric core... huh... the more you know.
tkb0: Yeah, Doctors Disorders was the second episode of season 2. Heh, I've noticed that people often portray Danny as a pure heart- more often than not- naive, self sacrificing kind of guy. Though this scene was actually Key's idea it was a pretty good one since Danny IS still technically a teenager, superhero or not he's gonna be tempted. The show is great but it did lack having a deep story in most episodes, but I find these moments making it all the better for my story since it allows me to make it deeper.
Alright, that's all the reviews I'm answering for now. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 7: Divided We Stand
"What do you mean we can't go in there!? They're our children and they're sick! They NEED us!" Mom was freaking out on the teacher, who was trying to keep the crowd of angry and concern parents out of the school.
"I-I'm sorry ma'am, but I'm not allowed to discern any information at this time." The teacher said nervously, trying to get Mom to calm down.
Is that my biology teacher? Huh… why don't I remember seeing him very often? What was his name again? Mr. Lancer always had to substitute for him.
"But you're a teacher, it's your JOB to give us information!" Mom shouted at him, looking like she's about to go hysteria.
"Oh poor Jazz!" Dad began crying. "She's always been my favorite!" he blew his nose into a random handkerchief he got out from one of his pockets.
Jeez Dad, way to just say it in our faces that you like Jazz more than either of us, but then again it's clueless Dad. I guess their father and daughter time made them closer. I saw Dad handing my brother the handkerchief he just blew his nose in… that is… disgusting.
"Here Danny, hang on to this, don't lost it! It was your grandfather's!" Dad said as Danny groaned, reluctantly taking it.
I guess I should be more bitter at the fact Dad called Jazz his favorite and gave Danny something that was our grandfather's, but I honestly didn't care at least not at the moment. Both Jazz and Dash were infected by these ghost bugs and I don't think an ordinary doctor is going to be able to help them.
"Pssst! Hey Danny, Andy, come over here." I turned when I heard Tucker's whispering voice, but he was a bit far away from the crowd, how did I hear him from all the way over there? Oh wait… acute ghost hearing, right… I don't think I'll ever be used to this…
I followed my brother through the crowd of parents and other students who avoided the infestation and went over to our techno geek friend as he smiled at us and said, "Check this out."
My eyes widen, and I'm assuming Danny's did too, when Tucker opened his hand and there was one of those ghost bugs on the palm of his hand!
"Tucker! Get rid of that thing!" Danny quickly said.
"Why are you even holding it!?" I snapped, the last thing I needed was for Tucker to go mutate ghost on us like Dash did!
"No, no, look, it won't bite me or phase into my skin or anything." Tucker pointed out.
He was right, that ghost bug refused to go into his skin. "Why is that?"
"Yeah." Danny found it just as strange. "I mean I figured our ghost powers were protecting us, what's protecting you?"
I watched as the little ghost insect flew away from Tucker's hand, oh crap, I hope it doesn't infect more people... we probably should've crushed it or something. Then I remembered that smell, the 'Folly' body spray Tucker himself made… is that what kept the ghost bugs off him? I suppose it makes sense, some ghosts do have a more sensitive sense of smell than humans do, and to the bugs it's probably more of a repellent.
"I'm going to take a guess here and say it's Tucker's cologne." I said.
"Hey, I think you're right bro." Danny chuckled. "It's not just repelling, it's a repellent!"
"Man, who knew this thing could be used as an immunity to ghost bugs! I'm wearing this every summer." Tucker smiled, holding up his bottled cologne.
I was about to say it may not work on regular bugs when I heard someone. "Psssst! Andy, I need to talk to you."
I frowned and turned, oh, it was Valerie. She was waving to me to come over to her. Danny probably heard her too, because he turned and said, "You want to talk to her, bro?"
"Yeah, I better see what she wants and tell her about Dash." I said with a nod to him before going over to Valerie.
"Andy, what's going on? The entire school was filled with ecto energy. Not big ones but a bunch of tiny ones! I saw these little green things invading people's bodies!" Valerie was freaking out a bit.
"Okay, calm down Val, just take it easy." I said to her calmly. "Those things were bugs, ghost bugs to be precise. I don't know what they're after exactly, but when they infect people they seem to mutate them into ghosts."
"How do you know that?" she asked, frowning.
"I've experienced it happening to Dash, he mutated into a ghost monster and I had to knock him out before he attacked me." I explained to her, conveniently leaving out that I had to use my unwanted, newly acquired ghost powers to defend myself.
"Y-you mean… even Dash…?" She frowned and I nodded. "Oh… I was hoping he was able to escape it."
"Yeah, me too." I said sadly.
Before we could say anymore the doors suddenly opened, revealing a tall, creepy looking doctor, his face was very pale and his teeth were yellow and crooked, and he covered his eyes with red goggles… I think. Jeez, talk about an unhealthy creepy looking doctor, he looks more like a stereotype mad scientist I would see in horror movies.
"Hello people, I am Dr. Bert Rand." he introduced.
"Are you from the Government Disease Control Center?" Mom demanded.
"Sure, let's go with that." The creepy doctor said and that made me frown, usually when someone says that they were trying to come up with something but couldn't and just let the person believe that's what they are after they say it.
"I assure you people your children are in good hands and will be transferred to the creepy abandon hospital at the edge of town." Bert said rather quickly.
Wait, what? The fact that he said 'creepy' and 'abandon' is a big red flag already! Why would ANYONE be dumb enough to not see that's got trap written all over it?
"Under quarantine?" Mom asked.
"Sure, let's go with that too." Bert said.
Ugh, Mom, why must you come up with these excuses for him? It's like... no wonder Danny was able to hide he's half ghost from them for half a year. It's easy to trick someone if they constantly come up with excuses in their heads and believe it.
"Oh yeah? And why should we trust you?" Dad suddenly asked, looking rather suspicious. Thank you Dad for actually having sense!
"Because I'm with the government and I can audit your taxes if you don't." Bert said with that sinister smile.
Dad suddenly frowned at that and said, "We trust you."
I crossed my arms at that and heard Valerie said, "There's no way he's with the government, and did you hear what he said about transferring everyone to a creepy and abandon hospital? There could be ghosts there!"
So she agrees with me. "Exactly. All of this seems way too convenient, almost like a conspiracy. Val, we may need to investigate this. I'm worried about Dash and my sister."
"Yeah, me too. I was actually planning to investigate this myself anyway, it's good to have someone there to help back me up." Valerie said with a smile and I returned it.
"Hey bro." I blinked and turned to see Danny was gesturing to me to come over. Oh right, I guess he would be suspicious and want to check it out himself… ghost style no doubt.
I sighed and said, "I'll be right back Val, my brother wants to see me."
"Okay, but hurry, I want to find out what's going on." Valerie said and I nodded to her before going over to Danny and Tucker.
"What's up?" I asked, although I already have a pretty good idea.
"We're going to that hospital and find out what's really going on." Danny said.
"And by 'we', y-you mean…?" Tucker gulped, looking pale and nervous. Riiiight, he really hates hospitals.
"Me, you and Andy of course." Danny said.
"But you know how I feel about hospitals!" Tucker paled. "I-I can't d-do it!"
"It's okay Tuck, you just have to stay outside and keep guard. Andy and I can go ghost to go in and out before you know it-" I quickly interrupted him.
"No way."
Danny stopped and looked over at me, "What? What do you mean?"
"I mean I'm not going to 'go ghost' to check out the hospital." I said firmly.
"Come on bro! I know you're not used to your powers yet, but I can teach you and don't you think we should make sure our friends and sister is okay in there?" Danny said, frowning a bit.
I crossed my arms and said, "Yes, I know, but I plan to investigate this my way as a human not a ghost."
Danny blinked at that before sighing. "Are you serious, Andy? It'd be quicker if we just go ghost and rush in and out! It'll take like 2 seconds!"
I shook my head and said, "And I'm saying it's better if we don't, or at least not me. I don't know how to use these powers yet anyway and I don't want to waste time trying to figure it out when I can just get in there another way, without using these powers."
Danny sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Aww c'mon, we can just teach you as we go! Besides, if we go in as humans it'd be ten times harder."
I crossed my arms again, "And what if they have a Ghost Shield? What then? You'd have to get in as a human then anyway."
Danny shrugged. "Then we have no choice but to go as a human- but we should at least see if that's the case first!"
I shook my head, "Look bro, you can go in as a ghost, but..." I looked over at Valerie, she was still waiting for me. "I have to do something right now."
"...What the heck do you have to do?" Danny blinked at that, looking confused.
"Just some stuff. You can go with Tucker." I said, beginning to walk away. I could practically feel my brother frowning at me.
"Come on, bro- we're supposed to work together!" he said, sounding almost like it was his last chance of getting me involved.
I looked back at him and sighed, "... How about this; we both find a way in with our own methods. Will you let me at least do that?"
Danny hesitated before reluctantly sighing. "...Alright, fine- but just this once."
"Thanks." I said, silently sighing in relief. I know, I know, it's stupid and childish of me to not accept these powers, but I just can't… these powers… if I use them I'll become reliant on them, what would happen if I lost them? I'd be helpless. And they could also make me a monster, it's too easy to not to abuse them after a while.
"But when this is over, bro, we're going to need some serious training time for you." Danny said to me. "I can't have my brother not knowing how to use his powers."
I frowned and didn't answer, it's obvious my brother's not going to just let me try to get rid of these powers, he's certainly not going to let me forget it either. If only Sam hadn't told Desiree to let me keep these powers… or that I stepped on that stupid skateboard back there… then I would… be right back to how it was before when Danny was Danny Phantom.
I looked down at my hands as I was thinking about this whole situation… Maybe it really was for the better I got into that accident… because… I'm half ghost too, I'm no longer a stranger to my brother… that gap is closing… maybe it isn't so bad…
An image of Corrupted Danny flew through my mind, he laughed evilly as he gestured to me. "Come and join me Andy, you know it's our destiny to rule together!"
I quickly shook my head. No! No! NO! I will NOT succumb to this ghostly nature! I will find a way into that hospital as human no matter what!
I walked over to Valerie, she looked at me in concern as if sensing that the conversation went a little sour between me and my brother. "You okay? What was that about?"
"Danny and I just had a disagreement on some things." I said, trying to hide the uneasiness in my tone. "But forget about that we should find a way to get into that hospital so we can investigate."
Valerie looked at me in concern a little longer before she sighed and said, "Well, apparently they won't let anyone in unless they're sick with some kind of ghost-like symptoms."
"What does that mean?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm not sure, but I think they mean if you're turning invisible, floating or going through stuff suddenly- you know, things that only ghosts usually can do." She answered.
"Ah, that makes sense, it might explain why Dash was able to go through the bathroom door." I said, nodding. "So they won't let us in unless we have these symptoms?"
"Yeah, but how would we pull that off? It's not like we could just turn invisible or go through walls at will." Valerie said with a frown.
Well… I could do that… and Danny could too… but… Valerie doesn't know that… and I don't want to know how she'll react if she finds out what I've become.
"Maybe we could find a way to… ah! Ghosts can shoot ghost rays out of their hands, right? We could use that." I said, getting an idea.
"We could? How?" Valerie asked, confused.
"We could wear some coats or something, hide the Ray Gun under our sleeves and shoot when they ask if we have any ghost-like symptoms." I suggested.
"That's brilliant!" Valerie smiled. "Come on, let's hurry and get some coats in the lost and found, they should have a lot of those."
I chuckled a bit, we shouldn't be taking other people's lost coats, many of them probably belonged to jocks because they're so big, but I guess it's better than going home to pick up our coats and wasting time.
So now I find myself and Valerie digging through the box of lost and found stuff. There were a lot of junk here. Valerie grumbled as she tossed out a coat covered with holes. "No wonder people lose them, they don't want these things anymore." she said with disapproval in her tone.
"I'm actually surprised they would lose some of these things." I said, holding up a snow globe, it looks like someone got this for Christmas and wasn't too happy about it, there was a slight crack in the glass. I actually wouldn't be surprised if it was Danny… he hates Christmas.
"Hey, I even found a silver coin?" Valerie looked at the coin in her hand in shock. "Who would lose this?"
"I think that's chocolate."
"... Eew! And it's halfway melted!" she threw it away. "Hey Andy, I found something we could wear!"
I saw her picking out an uncomfortable familiar looking dark blue hoodie, I couldn't help but give a small gulp… it looked just like the one I used during the time Danny was corrupted. Valerie also pulled out a red hoodie and smiled as she looked at them. "They're just about our size too, and in pretty good condition, why would anyone lose these?"
"Maybe they bring bad memories…" I said, feeling a little uneasy.
"Well whatever the case is it makes it easier on our part. I like the red one, so you can take the blue one." Valerie said with a smile, handing me the navy blue hoodie.
"Thanks." I forced a smile as I took it, not wanting her to know this hoodie brought back those bad memories.
"Alright, hurry and put it on, I think that Bertrand guy is about to take the sick students out." Valerie said as she quickly began putting on the red hoodie.
I was doing the same with the navy blue one, trying not to think about the memory when what she said clicked into my head, "W-wait, what did you call that guy?"
"Bertrand… I think that's his name, right?" she asked, looking at me.
When I got the hoodie on, I said, "... Yes, I think so…" Bert Rand… Bertrand… could it be…? Well it's too early to assume that, I hadn't seen that shapeshifting ghost since he and Spectra tried to suck away everyone's misery.
"Is something wrong?" Val asked and I blinked.
"Everything's fine, just thought that name sounded familiar. Come on, we better hurry and get to the adults before they move everyone to that hospital." I said to her as we readied our Ray Guns. "Now remember, we don't want to hurt anyone, so just shoot to the sky."
"Of course, the Ray Gun can't hurt humans anyway." Valerie said with a nod.
"True, but if it doesn't, that doctor may get suspicious." I said with a sense of logic.
"... That's true. Alright, we'll aim at the sky, we'll just have to make sure our position is in the right place." Val said and we both nodded and hurried out to put our plan into motion.
So the plan was to pretend we got infected by those ghost bugs so they'll be forced to take us to that hospital, we just have to act like it. I honestly felt nervous. I didn't like making a fool of myself by moaning out loudly and looking weak- in fact on the days I do get sick I try to ignore it and look strong.
"Okay, that doctor guy is right there." Val whispered to me as we watched the pale, sinister looking doctor from behind the wall. "You ready to act sick?"
"... W-well, kinda…" I said nervously, feeling embarrassed already.
"What do you mean 'kinda'?" she asked, frowning.
"I just… well… I don't like to moan in public." I grumbled, feeling really self conscious now.
"Well suck it up, we need to do this for our friends and your sister!" she hissed, trying not to draw attention to ourselves until we're ready.
I took a deep breath and said, "O-okay, okay, I'm ready, let's do this."
Both of us came walking out, trying to look as weak and tired as possible. I began shivering, pretending I was cold- hey it gives us a perfect excuse why we're wearing these jackets.
Mom was the first one to notice me as I walked up to her and Dad, she frowned when she noticing me shivering and looking tired, or as tired as I can make myself look. "Andy? What's wrong sweetie?" I fell into her arms.
"M-Mom… I… I don't… really feel so good… a-and it's s-so cold." I said as weakly as I could muster.
"Oh dear, sweetie are you okay?" She quickly ran over to me and felt my forehead. "You're a bit cold." A bit cold? Thought I'd be colder since my brother always felt like cold ice in his ghost form and even in human form he felt pretty cold.
"I-I f-feel cold…" I said with a small moan, trying not to feel too embarrassed with all the eyes bearing on me as I closed my own.
"Valerie?" I heard Valerie's dad- Mr. Gray- say in concern. "What's wrong sweetheart?"
"Ugh… D-dad… I… I feel… c-cold. I… I don't think… I'm going to make it." Valerie said, sounding a bit dramatic.
"Hmm…" I peeked open my left eye to see that creepy doctor checking out Valerie before coming over to me, I quickly shut my eye. I felt the guy's cold gloved hands feeling around my face a bit. "Are they experiencing any ghost-like symptoms?"
"Ghost-like symptoms!?" Mom and Dad both shouted in shock, Mom almost dropping me. "Don't be crazy! No human could have ghost powers!" You'd be surprised.
"Alright, just calm down, I'll examine these children and let you know what's wrong with them, it could just be a simple cold." Dr. Bert said as I peeked open my eye again to see him taking Valerie, I could tell her Dad wasn't too happy about that.
I felt Mom's grip tighten around me, like she didn't want me to go off with this creepy doctor she didn't trust, not that I blame her, especially considering Jazz is already in there. I wonder if Danny is watching? We'd probably have an awkward talk later if he is.
"Come on now, I have to make sure these two aren't infected." I heard Bert's voice say. The guy was so close I could practically smell him.
"... Fine, but only for a quick check-up." Mom said with a hint of hiss in her tone as I felt her, reluctantly, pushing me onto the creepy doctor's cold gloved hands.
I tried not to cringe from that creepy doctor's touch, and he was squeezing my arm pretty hard, I could feel Valerie squirming a bit beside me, but I kept my eyes closed, otherwise I worry they'll find out I'm not sick.
"Do you two suffer any ghost-like symptoms?" Bert asked us.
I blinked open my eyes and saw Valerie did the same, she raised her hands and said, "I… I think… maybe…." she touched her wrist and the Ray Gun shot at the ceiling, startling Bert.
"My, my, gotta be careful, those powers can be unpredictable!" Bert said to her. "What about you, young man?"
That's my cue, I was weakly reaching for my arm to activate my Ray Gun, but when I touched to activate it something was wrong… it wasn't shooting! My eyes wide as horror set in, why isn't it shooting!? Is it broken? Did it need to be charged? Well whatever the reason, it's not shooting, this is quite a predicament! I could tell the doctor was waiting for something to happen.
"Well, maybe you just got a cold." Dr. Bert began to say.
Oh crap, I guess I'll HAVE to channel my ghost powers AGAIN if I want to get in. I could already hear Danny telling me 'I told you so, bro.' I just hope Valerie doesn't see it, or if she does then I better come up with a very believable story. I willed myself to turn invisible for a second, hoping that would be enough to convince Bert and not fast enough for Valerie to notice.
"Oh dear, it's worse than I thought!" He said dramatically, he was smiling too. "You two need to be taken to quarantine right away!"
"Wh-what… about… our parents?" Valerie asked, sounding weak.
"Oh don't you worry about them, I'll be sure to let them know." Dr. Bert said, that smile never leaving his face. "But you two better rest while we transport everyone to the creepy, abandon hospital at the edge of town. Don't worry it's perfectly safe." Yeah, I'll bet, as safe as fresh steak in a lion's den.
I was surprised at how fast the ambulances came... has it only been like ten minutes since he called them? I suppose they would have to be fast for emergencies. Val and I were put on stretchers along with the rest of the infected students. I heard Mom and Dad crying for me while I was being pushed into one of the ambulances.
"NO! TWO of my babies are sick!" Mom cried in Dad's chest.
I felt bad... I didn't want to worry them like this, maybe I should've gone with my brother's way after all, at least he doesn't have to pretend he's sick… well it's too late I can't turn back now. I shut my eyes, not wanting to see their worried faces anymore. As soon as I heard the doors shut I opened my eyes and saw Valerie and a few other of my peers in the vehicle. I sat up when I realized we were alone in here.
"Val, you can get up now." I said.
"Whew, finally." She sat up. "Wow, this ambulance is bigger than it looks outside."
With her casual attitude I can safely say she didn't see me turn invisible for that split second- good, I didn't want to have to explain myself. "Looks like we made it on board, but I do feel bad for making my parents worry."
"Yeah, me too. Dad is already having it hard as it is after losing Mom." Valerie sighed. "Well, we can't worry about that right now, we've got a job to do. By the way I noticed you didn't shoot your Ray Gun, how did you convince that creepy guy you had some kind of ghost disease?"
Oh crud, I guess I should've seen this coming. Okay think, what should I say to her? "Well… uh… I was able to shoot it, but it was just small, so small it was almost hard to see… but because that doctor was close to me he saw it and that was enough to convince him."
Valerie looked at me and I gulped, hoping she took the bait, but eventually she nodded her head and said, "I guess these things needs to charged if they can run out of power like that."
"Y-yeah, I guess this wrist gun will be useless to me right now." I sighed as I took the Ray Gun off my wrist. "But I'll keep the hoodie on, it's cold in here."
Valerie looked around, I did the same. That hot feeling was back in my chest but it was small enough to keep that dark blue mist from coming out of my mouth. The few sick teens around use were turning an unhealthy green color, their bodies were starting to have that ghostly aura glow. They were trying to sleep but looked rather restless and moaned. I flinched back when one of them opened their mouth and a familiar light blue mist came out, just like Danny's ghost sense.
"What is happening to everyone here? It's almost like they're mutating into ghosts or something!" Valerie said in horror. "This is almost like something out of a horror movie!"
"Calm down, if they hear you screaming like that they'll check to see what's going on." I hissed, trying to keep her quiet. "Look, whatever's happening to them must be the cause of those ghost bugs that infected them, almost like possession, but in a more diseased giving kind of way. If we could find a way to get them out I'm sure they'll return to normal."
As I watched my fellow students changing into ghosts, a horrible thought came into my mind… people turning into ghosts… it's… it's just like… when Danny was Corrupted Danny… w-what if these ghost bugs were sent by Danny? W-what if Danny i-is really still corrupted and is s-secretly trying t-to t-turn everyone into g-ghosts again? T-then that would mean I'm also t-turning corrupted! My heart was beating against my chest despite it being slower since the second accident.
"Welcome to the family, Andy." Corrupted Danny smiled at me. "We've all been waiting for you. Won't you take my hand and join me?"
"Join us Andy, you'll love the ghost side." Everyone else chanted.
I felt surrounded and trapped, everyone is after me, they want me to join Corrupted Danny! I… I have to… I have to save them! I've GOT to save them!
"There's only one problem bro." Corrupted Danny said as he came up to my face. "You can't save them."
"Andy… ANDY!" I jumped and yelped when someone shouted in my ear and was shaking me by the shoulder. "A-are you okay?"
I blinked, I was covered in sweat, "H-huh? V-Val?" My heart slowed down as I tried to calm myself.
"What's wrong? You suddenly looked like you were in a trance and began paling... Did you get infected for real?" she asked in concern.
I quickly shook my head, trying to keep that nightmare away from my mind. "I'm… I'm fine, I just… have some bad memories of hospitals."
Valere gave a look of understanding. "Oh yeah, that time when your brother was in the accident and brought there."
"Y-yeah…" That accident, everything always have to revolve around it, it's like a key element on our lives and the world. I go back to try and stop it- Freakshow takes over the world. I tried making his powers stronger and make him smarter and I get a ghost apocalypse. We tried wishing away the power, and I end up becoming a half ghost too! I think it's better if we just leave Danny's powers alone, I don't even WANT to know what'll happen the next time something happens to them again.
"Hey Andy…" Valerie spoke up. "Once we actually get there, what's the plan? We can't have nurses keeping an eye on us while we investigate."
"If this hospital is a sham I don't think we have to worry about them keeping an eye on us, we just have to focus on what's going on there." I said. "Maybe if we're lucky we'll find-" I was interrupted by a certain hot mist that came out of my mouth suddenly, it was so sudden I didn't even notice it until after it came out right in front of Valerie!
"What… what was… that, Andy?" Valerie asked, her eyes wide as she was pointing at my mouth.
"U-uh… err…" My mind shut down, I wasn't expecting my ghost sense to suddenly come out like that. "It's… really cold in here." I quickly said, even though the mist that came out was hot rather than cold.
Valerie was still looking questionable at me, but thankfully I was saved from more questioning when the ambulance stopped. It seems we've reached our destination. "Get back in the stretcher!" I quickly said.
Valerie didn't need to be told twice. Both of us quickly laid back down on the stretchers and closed our eyes just before we heard the doors open. "Make it quick, she'll be expecting them as soon as possible before the guest of honor arrives."
The guest of honor? I wonder who that could be…
I felt someone moving my stretcher out of the vehicle, and I heard Bert's voice. "Be careful with that one, he may just be the key to what we need should the first bait fails."
What? Is he talking about me? I have a really bad feeling about this. I dared to peek open my eye to see where I was being pushed to, and the big building we were going to looked anything but friendly. Why do I suddenly feel like I just walked into a horror movie? Oh wait, I DID, since those ghost bugs infected everyone, and it never ends well with spooky hospitals. Now I'm starting to wish I went with my brother, at least he knows what he's doing better than I do when it comes to ghosts, but we've been working individually lately, especially since after that corrupted era. Well, all I can do now is swallow my fear and hope for the best.
Yeah, the nightmare is going to be a problem for our little Andy here, it's also what's keeping him from accepting the ghost powers. Ah, the blue jacket hoodie is back, yay! :D I think Blue's going to like that. And something I should point out; Valerie wasn't in the actual episode but I put her here since it would make it more interesting to have her here investigating with Andy while Danny and Tucker come by for their own investigation. Plus it didn't make much sense why Valerie herself wasn't there either, sure it might've been implied she was bitten by a ghost bug but we don't see her at all, in the school or in the hospital. Anyways, I am DarkFoxKit and I look forward to hearing from you!
On a special side note; today's Key2DestNE's birthday. He's not here unfortunately, but I still wish him a happy birthday!
