"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

It was a bright afternoon in the countryside as a white armored van sped down the empty road. Inside, GiW Operatives O, who was driving, K, who was in the passenger seat, L, and M, who were both seated right behind the other two, were reporting to their superiors via earpiece.

"I presume you have completed your assignment?"

"Affirmative," Operative O replied, "We have captured the target and are proceeding to rendezvous at checkpoint sigma-two."

"Target has been successfully contained in vehicle storage," Operative K reported, "Recommend additional support during transition to high-security vault."

"Acknowledged," Operative Alpha replied, "Support will be on standby upon arrival. I expect a full report within the week."

"Understood," the Operatives stated before transmission ended.

"This would have been so much easier if this sector's HQ was being renovated right now," Operative M noted.

"Agreed," said Operative O, "But we have our orders."

A few moments later, the van began to shake violently, rocking left and right.

"Take control of the vehicle!" Operative M exclaimed.

"I'm trying!" Operative O responded, "Somethings causing the vehicle to veer off course!"

"Are you certain that the target was secured properly?" Operative L asked Operative K.

"Completely!" Operative K exclaimed, "The target was sedated and secured with the strongest restraints we had on hand!"

The vehicle rocked again, even harder, and wouldn't stop.

*WHAM*

"What was that!?" Operative O exclaimed.

"Stop the van!" Operative L shouted, "The storage doors have been opened!"

The van screeched to a halt and the Operatives exited the vehicle. They checked the rear of the vehicle and found the doors wide open, with nothing inside.

"You were in charge of securing the target," Operative M said to Operative K, "This will be going into my report."

"Mine as well," said Operative O.

"That may not be necessary," said Operative L, who was looking at his tablet, "The tracker is still attached to the target. We will follow and recover it."

"Where is the target going?" Operative K asked.

"North, northwest," Operative L replied.

The four operatives glanced over in that general direction and saw a welcome sign.

"Will this complicate the mission?" Operative M asked.

"Of course not," Operative O answered, "If any of you have any objections, you can get your own transport back to HQ."

No one replied.

"Then it's settled," said Operative O.

The four operatives got back into the van and drove past the sign, which read "Amity Park: Living the Big Life".

*Cue Intro*

Danny Phantom in: Federal Raid (Episode 64)

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

People were screaming and running through the streets of Amity Park as the Behemoth* stomped its way around. Danny Phantom and Logan Specter flew up and fired a barraged of cryokinetic and electrokinetic ghost rays at the giant ghost, but the Behemoth blocked them with its four muscular arms.

"Jeez, not even a scratch!?" Phantom exclaimed as he and Specter stopped attacking.

"Whoever let this one out of the Ghost Zone is going to have a very bad time when I find them," Specter growled.

The Behemoth lowered its arms and glared at the two heroes before unleashed its purple and blue fire breath.

"Whoa!" Phantom exclaimed before he created a ghost shield around himself and Specter.

"We're running out of options here, Mrs. Fenton," Specter said into his Fenton Phone, "Can you and your husband pick up the pace!?"

"We're almost there, boys!" Maddie exclaimed, "Just give us a couple more minutes!"

The Behemoth stopped attacking slammed its fists into the ground.

"We don't even have a minute!" Phantom exclaimed as the shield disappeared.

The Behemoth ripped two large chunks of earth from the ground and threw them at the civilians. Phantom flew down a pair of male adults that had tripped and Specter blinked over to a young girl who was sitting on the ground crying. Danny grabbed the two civilians and flew them to safety as the projectile crashed into the sidewalk and the building wall. Specter put a hand on the child's shoulder and turned himself and the girl intangible. The second chunk of earth crashed into the sidewalk where they were standing. A couple seconds later, Specter led the girl out of the boulder and they became tangible again. As soon as the girl saw her mother nearby, Specter let her run off and he blinked next to Phantom.

"Alright, now I'm mad," Specter hissed as his eyes burned a cerulean blue.

The two half-ghosts glared at the Behemoth as it released a mighty roar.

*ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRR*

Suddenly, a strange blue resin spread up the Behemoth's body and began to harden, trapping the ghost in ice.

"Huh?" Phantom and Specter exclaimed.

They glanced behind the frozen ghost and saw Jack and Maddie standing in front of the Fenton RV, holding the Fenton Ecto-Energy Collector and the Fenton Ghost Chiller, respectively.

"Nice shot, Maddie," Jack complimented as he aimed the Collector at the ghost, "Now to make things easier."

Jack pulled the trigger and the grapple claw shot through the air and grabbed onto the Behemoth's ankle. Once it was secured, green ecto-energy began to travel along the wire and into the weapon.

"The Behemoth's losing energy!" Specter exclaimed, "Now's our chance to catch it!"

Phantom pulled out his Fenton Thermos and fired it at the Behemoth. The beam pulled the ghost inside and Phantom put the cap on top.

"Excellent work, boys!" Maddie exclaimed as the two floated over to her and Jack.

"Thanks for the help," said Phantom, "I don't think we would have been able to fight it off on our own."

"Oh, don't mention it," said Jack.

"Sweetie, I know this was important, but don't you still have class?" Maddie asked, "It's almost one o'clock."

"What!?" Phantom exclaimed as his eyes widened, "Shoot, I'm going to be late!"

He tossed the Fenton Thermos to Maddie and darted away.

"Send that thing back to the ghost zone, love you, bye!" Phantom shouted over his shoulder as he hurried back to school.

Barely a few seconds had past before Danny noticed an armored white van speeding through the streets down below. His eyebrows furrowed as he placed a finger on the Fenton Phone.

"Hey, Specter?" he said, "White armored van is speeding around town."

"Guys in White?"

"Yeah. Mind keeping an eye on them for me?"

"Sure, no problem. I'll make sure they don't cause any trouble."

Phantom focused on his destination and flew off into the distance as dark clouds began to cover the sky.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

A few miles away, in another part of town, a black and white figure streaked in an alley, where a white light briefly followed.

"Finally," Danielle sighed as she stepped out of the alley, "Made it back to Amity Park."

*Grrrrrr*

"And hungry," she moaned, rubbing her stomach.

Since her last visit to Amity Park, Danielle had not been doing well. She had noticeably lost weight, her clothes were filthy and started having holes in them, and her hair was a mess with knots and dirt. As she started walking down the street, lightning cracked across the sky and rain started pouring down. People began opening umbrellas or use their suitcases and newspapers to shield them from the rain. Unfortunately for Danielle, she didn't have anything.

"Of course," she deadpanned.

She glanced over to her left and noticed the ice cream parlor in front of her.

"Well… it's not the best thing to have in this weather," she said to herself before her stomach started growling again and a mischievous smile grew on her face, "buuuuut~, beggars can't be choosers."

She pushed the door open and stepped inside the pink and white stripped parlor. Aside from the sole employee behind the cash register, Danielle saw no one else there. She walked up to the glass window and perused through all the flavors they had. Her face brightened up when she saw a certain flavor and waked over to the counter.

"Um, excuse me?" she asked the teenager, who was more focused on his smartphone, "Can I try a sample of that chocolate and caramel flavor ice cream?"

The confectioner glanced over at Danielle and scoffed.

"Beat it, kid," he said rudely, "No free ice cream."

"I just want to have a test taste before I buy a cone," said Danielle.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a $5 bill.

"No, samples," said the worker before turning back to his smartphone, "Make your choice or get out."

"Hmph," Danielle muttered, crossing her arms, "You treat all your customers like this?"

The worker didn't reply as she glanced to the menu hanging on the wall.

"Look!" she pointed out, "It even says 'free samples'!"

"Yeah, sorry, we don't do those anymore," the worker replied, "Now, if you're done wasting my time, either buy something or get lost."

"But-"

"Didn't you hear me!?" the confectioner snapped, "Buy something or get out! We don't need some homeless kid begging for free food!"

Danielle was taken aback by that remark, causing her to take a step back just as her stomach started growling again.

"Come on!" she exclaimed, "Can't I have just one sample?"

"Jeez, kid, how stupid are you? Were you born in a barn or something?" the teen asked rudely, "Why don't you get out of here and go back to whatever cardboard box you live in."

Behind the double acting doors to the side, a woman dressed in a mint-green blouse and a black skirt walked by and began to overhear the conversation on the other side.

"I just want a sample!" Danielle exclaimed, "Why can't you just let me have it?"

"Why?" the confectioner asked, "You expect me to believe you'll just ask for one!? Have your parents ever taught you how to treat your elders?"

That comment made Danielle's face fall and she looked down at the ground.

"Oh, wait, you wouldn't know that, would you? Judging by the smell, your parents are probably a couple of deadbeats."

Danielle glanced up and saw a very unhappy woman standing behind the confectioner, arms crossed and glaring daggers into the back of his head.

"Seriously, kid, get out of here. You're causing nothing but trouble!" the worker said loudly.

"Ahem!"

The confectioner's whole body froze and his eyes widened.

"Mr. Franklin…" the woman said in a threatening tone, "Wait for me in the backroom. I'll deal with you in just a moment."

Franklin spun around and held out his arms.

"But- but Mrs. Stone, I-"

"I'm telling you, as your manager, to get in the backroom. Right. Now."

"*Sigh* Yes, ma'am."

As Franklin moped away, Stone turned her attention to Danielle.

"My apologies, sweetie," said the manager, "Are you okay?"

Danielle wiped her eyes and nodded.

"Now, let's get that sample you wanted," Stone smiled, lifting Danielle's spirits.

Not far down the street, the GiW van sped down the street, closing in on their target.

"Target has returned on scans," Operative L reported before the scanner began beeping, "Wait! There's a second energy signature!"

"Is it Phantom?" Operative O asked.

"Negative," Operative L answered, "The energy signature is similar to Phantom's, but it's definitely not his."

"Two ghosts instead of one?" said Operative K, "Sounds like a promotion to me."

"Indeed," said Operative O, "Where's this second target?"

"Right next to primary target," Operative L answered, "If we hurry, the primary target won't escape again."

Operative O stepped on the gas and floored it down the street.

"Thank you very much!" Danielle called out to the manager as she stepped outside.

She popped the last of the ice cream cone into her mouth and munched it down. She had chocolate and caramel around her mouth, which she tried licking off. The rain had now become a complete downpour, completely drenching her. As she began walking back towards the alley, the sound of tires screeching got her attention. She looked over in time to see the GiW van zoom past her. Unfortunately, there was a huge puddle right in front of her and the van soaked her in dirty water.

"Hey!" she shouted, "Watch where you're going, pal!"

The van disappeared around the corner, leaving Danielle alone to look at herself.

"Great," she muttered, "Better get to the Fenton Works and hit the shower."

She approached the alley and entered it. She barely took two steps in before she gasped and a blue mist escaped her lips. She glanced down the alley and saw a strange green glow coming from around the alley corner. A white ring appeared around her waist and she turned into Dani Phantom. Although it was dark due to the storm, Dani's natural light was enough to illuminate part of the alley. She floated over to the corner and peaked around it.

"Huh?"

At the end of the alley, Dani saw a large man-wolf looking ghost in green clothes. It appeared to be laying on his stomach and gnawing away at a strange device that was attached to his left ankle. Behind the ghost appeared to be a strange portal that was torn out of thin air. Dani slowly approached the ghost, wondering what it was doing.

"Um, hello?" she asked.

The ghost glanced up and looked at Dani.

"Amiko?" Wulf asked before lunging toward her, "Amiko!"

(Friend? Friend!)

Dani shrieked as Wulf landed on her and began licking her face, which removed the remaining ice cream from her mouth.

"Huh?" Wulf muttered as he stopped midlick.

He looked down and realized that it wasn't the Phantom he knew.

"Kiu vi estas?" Wulf asked as he stood up and let Dani get back up.

(Who are you?)

"Ewww…" she moaned, wiping her face, "What was that for?"

"Mi kvankam vi estis Phantom," Wulf replied.

(I thought you were Phantom.)

"What?" Dani asked, raising an eyebrow, "I don't understand what you are saying."

"Phantom," said Wulf, "Friend."

"Phantom? Friend?" Dani asked, "You mean Danny?"

Wulf smiled and nodded.

"You know him?"

"Jes, li liberigis min," Wulf replied.

(Yes, he freed me.)

"Um… I don't know what you're saying," said Dani, still confused, "But if you're a friend of Danny's, I'll take you to him."

Dani floated of the ground and began flying off.

"Follow me!" she called back and Wulf did.

As Dani and Wulf flew off, they were unaware of the GiW van had turned at an intersection and began tailing them. Within the alley, a familiar eyepatch wearing purple ghost watched them fly off as well before turning away and walked through the portal. The tear blinked closed behind him.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

At the Fenton Works, Jack and Maddie were in the living room, sitting on the couch with a couple of piles of paperwork on the table.

"Here's the copy of the sorority application you filled out," Maddie said as she held up the document in question.

"Great!" Jazz exclaimed on the video call, "And there's a blank copy with it as well?"

Maddie flipped through the pages for a moment before showing Jazz the blank form.

"It's right here," Maddie smiled.

Jack began sniveling, which got her attention.

"Jack, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing!" Jack exclaimed, "I'm just so proud of our little Jazzie-pants. *Sniff* I miss you so much!"

"Dad, we talk to each other every day!" Jazz laughed, "I'll be home in a couple of months for Thanksgiving and then I'll be staying for a few weeks for the holidays."

"Curse you, time," Jack muttered, "Why must you be so slow?"

"Oh, mom?" Jazz asked, "I have to get going and meet up with my study group. We'll go over my financials and the documents after my midterm, okay?"

"Financials?" Maddie asked nervously, "Um, sure, we can do that."

"Great," Jazz replied, "Gotta go. Love you both, bye!"

The screen turned black as soon as the call ended and Maddie began to comb through the documents.

"Jack, have you seen Jazz's financial paperwork anywhere?" Maddie asked, "I don't recall seeing them in this pile."

"I haven't seen them in this pile either," Jack replied as he combed through his pile, "A-ha! Jackpot!"

"Did you find it!?" Maddie exclaimed.

"Nope!" Jack replied, "But I did find the coupons for fudge! Buy three, get one free."

"Jack, this isn't the time to be thinking about fudge!" Maddie snapped as she began to panic, "We need to find those documents or Jazz won't be able to get her financial aid for the next semester!"

A moment later, Trevor walked by with the Fenton Deadshot slung on his back. Maddie glanced over and raised an eyebrow.

"Trevor?" she called out, "What are you doing here? Weren't you following the Guys in White?"

"Uh, yeah, I was… until I lost sight of them," he confessed, "Unlike ghosts, I don't have the ability to see humans through solid objects. Lost them when the Box Ghost showed up and distracted me. All it took was a few seconds for me to lose them."

"Why do you have the Deadshot with you?" Jack asked, "I thought it was impossible to repair the last part."

"It was for us," Trevor replied, "Luckily, the Forgemaster was kind enough to do the repairs himself."

"You were in the Ghost Zone?" Maddie asked.

"Um, yeah?" Trevor replied, "Where else would I find Forgemaster. That, and I had to meet with Clockwork and the Observants again."

"How'd it go?" Jack asked.

"Don't know, it's still going on," Trevor replied, "Dust is there in my place since I was advised to leave after a small… confrontation."

Jack and Maddie arched an eyebrow.

"I won't say any names… but someone said something about someone else and that someone may or may not have gotten knocked out from a headbutt," Trevor explained.

Maddie shook her head in disapproval.

"I know, I'm shocked too," said Trevor, "Five seconds to trigger me is quite an accomplishment."

Jack and Maddie gave him a look as silence fell upon the room. Maddie then glanced down at Trevor's right hand and wrist, which were still covered in bandages.

"My wrist's fine, Mrs. Fenton," Trevor told her, "So… what were you two freaking out about before I arrived?"

"Oh, nothing!" Maddie exclaimed, "Just thought I lost a document, but I found it. No worries."

"You sure you guys are okay?" Trevor asked, raising an eyebrow, "You appear to be freaking out about something."

"Nope!" Jack exclaimed, "Nothing to worry about! Everything is just fine!"

"Right… anyways, I'll be at Manson's if you need me," said Trevor as he grabbed his jacket and flat cap.

"Do you need an umbrella?" Maddie asked.

"Nah, I'm good," Trevor replied, "Thanks for the offer."

He turned intangible and phased through the door. As soon as Trevor was out of sight, Jack and Maddie scrambled back through the documents.

"Why couldn't she just let us pay for her education?" Maddie wondered out loud.

"Well, even if we can't find the documents, we still have these coupons!" Jack smiled, holding the coupons up.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

Not far from Casper High, Danny, Tucker, and Sam were walking through the storm with no protection above them. Their clothes were drenched, and it was so cold that they could see their own breath. **

"Stupid weatherman," Sam grumbled, "Clear skies all week!?"

"He should be fired for poor work performance," Danny added.

"How is it that everyone forgot to bring an umbrella?" Tucker asked, glancing back at a couple of other students who were walking home without protection from the rain.

"You two have any plans for tonight?" Sam asked.

"I was planning on taking you out tonight," Danny sighed, "Looks like that went down the drain."

"Aw, you're sweet, Danny," Sam giggled as she took her hand into his, "What about you, Tucker?"

"Not much, since it's Friday," Tucker replied, "I was thinking of working on my little pet project I've been working on these past few weeks."

"Mind indulging us in what your project is?" Sam asked.

"Just a little something I can use to be more useful in the field than just the guy who hacks into Technus' suit with a PDA," Tucker smiled, "But if you have something else in mind, let's hear it."

"I figured we could have a movie marathon tonight," Sam suggested, "Since it's dark out and not much else for us to do…"

"Sounds great," said Danny.

"I'm down," said Tucker.

Suddenly. Danny gasped and his ghost sense went off, but he paid no attention to it. High above the teens, Dani and Wulf flew across the sky, neither group noticing the other. A few seconds later, the GiW van sped down the street toward Team Phantom. The three teens looked over and saw the van just as it drove over a deep puddle and splashing street water onto them.

"HEY!" Sam shouted, "WATCH IT, IDIOTS!"

The three looked down at their clothes and sighed.

"Now we're wet and dirty," Tucker moaned, "Can this get any worse?"

*CRicccck KA-DUUUM*

Lightning struck mere feet away from the group, followed by the roar of thunder. The team blinked at the blackened patch of grass a couple of times before Danny and Sam glanced at Tucker. Down the street, the GiW were catching up to Dani and Wulf, who were now in their sights.

"It's not far now," Dani said to Wulf, "Once we're at the Fenton Works, Danny is sure to help you out."

Operative K leaned out the passenger window and aimed a high-tech rocket launcher at them. He looked through the red scope and waited until the weapon had locked on to the targets before firing. A silver missile with a green tip and wings rocketed through the air toward Dani and Wulf.

*BWOOOOM*

Dani and Wulf fell from the sky and crashed into the ground, both tumbling a couple times before Dani stopped on her stomach and Wulf on his back. The van slid to a stop in front of the two as Wulf sat up and shook his head. The Operatives hopped out of their vehicle with weapons in their hands.

"HQ won't be happy when we have to put in a requisition order for new suits and bleach," Operative M groaned as the rain began to hit their suits.

"There's Phantom, shoot him!" Operative K exclaimed.

"Huh?" Dani groaned as she pushed herself up, "What?"

Stinging pain got Dani's attention and she noticed a nasty deep abrasion on the right side of her body that bled ectoplasm. Operatives O and K fired their ecto-assault rifles*** at Dani, who was too stunned to move. Wulf leapt in the way and took the anti-ghost rays into the chest, blasting him aside. He fell to the street and skid along the asphalt a couple feet before he laid unconsciously still.

"Hey!" Dani exclaimed, grabbing her side, "Why are you hurting him!?"

As soon as she got to one knee, a light pink anti-ghost net shot through the air and trapped Dani inside it, keeping her low to the ground. The metal bolas that held her down magnetically pulled each other together, preventing Dani from escaping via intangibility.

"What are you doing!?" she exclaimed, trying to break out, "I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Activating anti-ghost measure 6-3-B-4," Operative L announced as he pushed a large red button on the control panel in his portable case, "Let's see you get out of this, Phantom!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The net electrocuted Dani relentlessly as the operatives closed in.

"Operatives K and M, secure the main target," Operative O ordered, "Operative L, don't deactivate the net until Phantom has been neutralized."

Dani continued screaming in pain as her body jerked around inside the cramped net.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

A couple miles away, Danny, Tucker, and Sam were approaching Sam's house as lightning cracked through the dark sky.

"Man, it's barely past 3 and it's already this dark?" Tucker asked.

"What's wrong, Tucker?" Danny teased, "Afraid of the dark?"

"Pfft, no!" Tucker exclaimed, "And you should be one to talk! You were afraid of the dark until you were-"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The teens stopped dead in their tracks when the scream echoed through the air. Danny took a moment to register the scream before he glanced over his shoulder and glared his now neon green eyes into the distance.

"What was that!?" Sam exclaimed.

"I don't know, but it didn't-"

Before Tucker could finish, a white ring appeared around Danny's waist as he leapt up and flew away in a flash.

"Where's he going!?" Tucker exclaimed, "It's probably just some kid scared of the dark!"

"You know Danny," Sam sighed, "Always worried about everyone."

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

A few miles away, Trevor was walking down the street. The dark clouds made it harder for the Deadshot to be noticed by others, much to his relief. Rain dripped off his hat as he glanced down at the ground, lost in his own thoughts.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Hm!?" Trevor muttered, "That scream… it sounds like…"

His eyes narrowed and began to glow cerulean blue. A light blue ring appeared around his waist and, with the Deadshot still handing from his back, Specter rocketed toward the source of the screaming.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

Dani was still screaming in pain as Operatives K and M tossed an unconscious Wulf into the back of the van. They added more restraints on the ghost to ensure his capture, including an anti-ghost muzzle, chaining his arms and legs to the floor of the van, and metal device strapped to his back that appeared to be draining Wulf of his energy.

"Is the primary target secured?" Operative O asked.

"Affirmative," Operative K answered, "Operative M and I have ensured the target won't be an issue again."

"Good," said Operative O as he held up his ecto-assault rifle, "Now, let's catch the punk. He sure screams like a little girl."

Operatives K and M held up their ecto-assault rifles as well as they followed Operative O back towards Dani. She was no longer screaming, but she continued groaning as the electricity continued to course through her body.

"Phantom's still conscious, huh?" Operative O asked.

"Don't worry," Operative L smirked as he grabbed a small dial on the controller, "I'll just dial it up a few notches."

The scream Dani unleashed as the voltage increased exponentially was loud enough to be heard over the thunder that followed the cracks of lightning.

"DAAAAAAAAAANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

A black and white blur whizzed over Operatives K, O, and M before it grabbed Operative L by the back on the head and slammed him headfirst into the street.

"What the heck!?" Operative K exclaimed before he and his two colleagues aimed their weapons at the intruder, "Freeze!"

The figure released Operative L's head, leaving the man lying in the street, and slowly rose to his feet. It wasn't until the operatives saw Danny's burning green eyes as thunder boomed and lightning cracked in the sky that they began to shake in fear.

"Wha- Phantom!?" Operative K exclaimed, "But… how!?"

Up in the air, behind Danny, blue electrical sparks and a pair of burning blue eyes, the right eye bursting with flames, approached the ground at high speeds.

"Static…. SHOCKWAVE!"

Specter shot to the ground and slammed his electrified right foot into the ground a foot in front of Phantom, creating a shockwave of electricity straight towards the three operatives, shocking them all at once. As the operatives jolted around, Phantom and Specter turned their attention back to the screaming girl.

"Danielle!" they exclaimed, Danny running to her side as Logan blinked over.

"I got this," Logan told Danny, grabbing his arm to stop him from touching the net.

Phantom nodded and Specter grabbed the net with both his hands. He groaned in discomfort as all the electricity went through his body instead of Dani's.

"C… Console…" Dani said hoarsely.

Phantom glanced over at the case that Operative L had dropped and fired a ghost ray at it. As soon as the controller was destroyed, the electrocution stopped, and the bolas were no longer magnetically attracted to each other.

"D-Danny," Dani cried out as Phantom and Specter freed her from the net.

"Shhhh, shhhh, it's okay," Phantom comforted her, pulling her close and hugging her as she began to cry into his chest, "It's okay."

Specter was breathing heavily, rage still burning in him as another bolt of lightning shot across the sky and thunder boomed. All four operatives started getting back up to their feet. Phantom and Specter glared daggers at them.

"Van…" Dani said softly, getting the other two half-ghosts' attention.

"What?" Phantom asked as Specter's eye stopped giving off a flame.

"V… van…" Dani repeated, raising a shaky hand up and pointing at the armored van.

"I'll check it out," said Specter and he marched over to the van, letting Phantom comfort his 'cousin'.

The operatives, save for Operative L, grabbed their rifles and aimed them at the approaching angry halfa.

"Get out of my way," Specter growled.

"You have no authority over me, ghost!" Operative K exclaimed, "Stop where you are or be destroyed."

"I said get out of my fucking way," Specter said sternly as he telekinetically pushed the four operatives away, causing them to land on their backs.

As soon as he reached the rear of the van, Specter slammed his fist into the handle and nearly ripped the door off.

"… Wulf," he breathed.

The werewolf-like ghost's ears perked up as soon as he heard his name. He tried to speak, but the muffle was doing its job too well. Phantom walked over, still holding Dani as he held on tight to him. When he saw his friend tied up like an animal, he and Specter glanced over their shoulders and glared at the operatives, paralyzing them in fear of what the two 'ghosts' would do to them.

"I'll keep an eye on them," Phantom told Specter, "Get Wulf out of there."

Specter wordlessly turned his attention back to Wulf and began removing all the restraints off the ghost.

"Hey!" Operative O exclaimed, "You can't do that! That's government property! Ugh… this will have to go into my report."

"In your report!?" Specter snapped as he removed the muzzle from Wulf's face, "Take your report and shove it up your ass!"

The young halfa backed away to give Wulf some space as he hopped out of the van. He didn't notice the tear that Wulf had made on the floor beneath his body when he was trapped. Operative L glanced over and slowly reached for one of the ecto-assault rifles that were on the ground. He was barely an inch away before a green ghost ray blasted the weapon away, causing the operative to turn back to Phantom, whose right hand was held out and glowing green.

"If you ever… EVER… come after any ghosts, including me and Danielle, or any kids here in Amity Park again… I will make you regret it," Phantom warned, "Got it?"

The operatives nervously nodded as Specter and Wulf stood next to Phantom.

"And one more thing," Specter said darkly, "If I ever catch you or any member of the GiW going after ghost children, I will personally ensure that you will be breathing and eating through tubes for the rest of your lives. And that's not a threat, that's a promise."

He then glanced over to Phantom.

"Come on, let's get out of here," said Logan as lightning flashed, followed by thunder.

"Please?" Dani asked weakly, her limbs wrapped tightly around Phantom's neck and torso.

Phantom, Specter, and Wulf gave the GiW operatives one last death glare before Phantom flew off with Dani in his arms and Specter and Wulf followed. As soon as they had disappeared into the darkness, the operatives slowly got back to their feet, readjusting their suits and classes. They didn't notice a fedora wearing ghost in a white suit slowly rise up from a tear Wulf had left behind.

"Now what?" Operative M asked.

"I'm blaming you for this mess," Operative O said to Operative K.

"Not unless I report you first," Operative K argued.

"Gentlemen," said a calm, but strict voice, "I may have a solution to your problem."

"Identify yourself!" Operative K ordered.

Walker floated out of the van with a smile.

"Lovely weather today, gentlemen."

The GiW operatives grabbed their weapons, save for Operative L, and aimed them at Walker.

"Let's not get hasty, agents," said Walker, "You don't have a chance against us."

"Us?" Operative O asked.

Walker raised a hand and snapped his fingers. On cue, Bullet and a squad of Walker's goon made themselves visible, showing the operatives that they were surrounded and outmatched.

"Do I have your attention now?" Walker asked.

"Uugghhh… what do you want, ghost?" Operative K asked.

"How about a deal?" Walker smirked, "One that will benefit us both."

"Explain," said Operative O.

"Much like yourselves, I am a law enforcement officer of the Ghost Zone," Walker explained, "You help me reacquire two of my prisoners…"

He leaned forward toward Operative K.

"… and I'll let you have the Phantom clone and the ghost from the future."

The GiW operatives glanced at one another for a moment before turning back to Walker.

"A clone?" Operative L asked, "Of that punk, Phantom?"

"Yes."

"And a ghost from the future?" Operative M asked.

"Yes," Walker replied before holding out his hand, "You help me, I help you. Everybody wins. Do we have a deal?"

"Hmmm…" Operative K pondered before shaking Walker's hand, "Deal."

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

Tucker and Sam walked up to Sam's front door and pushed the door open. Jeremy and Pam were seated at the table when they glanced over and saw two dripping wet teens walk inside.

"Sammy-kins!" Pam exclaimed, "Why are you-"

Sam held up her hand as she and Tucker deadpanned at the empty air.

"Just… get us a couple of towels, please?" Sam asked, annoyed.

"I'm on it," Jeremy sighed as he got up and rushed to another room.

He swiftly returned with a couple of towels in hand.

"Here you go, Sam," he said as he handed Sam and Tucker each a towel, "You could have called us; we would have picked you up."

"Yeah, but you wouldn't have let my friends in the limo," Sam said flatly as she began drying herself.

"Wait, you have a limo?" Tucker asked.

"Does that really surprise you, Tucker?" Sam asked.

She then noticed her father still holding out two more towels towards her.

"One towel is enough, dad," she said.

"Oh, they're not for you," he said, showing signs of annoyance, "They're for-"

"Incoming!" Trevor yelled as he leapt off the stairs and slid across the floor, "Sorry about the mess, we'll clean it up in a few minutes."

He turned to Tucker and Sam as he grabbed the towels from Jeremy.

"My room, now," he said quickly before rushing back upstairs.

"What's up with him?" Tucker asked.

"I was hoping you two would know," Pam replied, "He and that Fenton just barged in here and went upstairs, dripping disgusting rainwater all over the floor!"

"Danny's here?" Sam asked, raising an eyebrow.

She and Tucker rushed up the stairs and followed the trail of water to Trevor's guestroom. Sam barely got out of the way in time just as Trevor rushed past her and Tucker.

"What is going on!?" Sam exclaimed as she and her friend entered the room.

They saw Danny, who was back in human form, leaning over the bed, pulling a blanket over someone. He was still soaking wet and dripping water everywhere.

"Danny?" Tucker asked, "What's up? You just ditched us after that loud scream."

"Incoming!" Trevor exclaimed as he phased through Tucker and Sam before becoming tangible, "Here's the first aid kit."

"Perfect," Danny replied as he took the box from Trevor's hands.

Trevor glanced down and saw the Deadshot lying on the ground and quickly kicked it under the bed, next to his chest. Tucker and Sam approached the bed and gasped.

"Danielle!?" they exclaimed.

The young half-ghost was also back in her human form and although the blanket was covering her below the waist, it didn't hide the condition she was in.

"Hey," she croaked, smiling that signature goofy Fenton smile, "Miss me?"

"No talking," Trevor ordered.

"Sam, I need your help," Danny told her, "Danielle's hurt and we could use an extra set of hands."

Sam snapped out of the shock and hurried to the opposite side of the bed. She instantly performed a doubletake when she saw Wulf sitting on the ground, biting at the tracker on his ankle.

"Wulf!?" she exclaimed.

"Sam, can we focus on Danielle, please?" Danny pleaded.

Trevor elbowed Tucker and jerked his head, telling him to follow him.

"Need my help?" Tucker asked.

"Yeah," Trevor muttered, "See if you can get that tracker off Wulf's ankle."

Tucker leaned down to take a closer look at the device.

"I think I can handle this," he smirked.

"The faster the better," said Trevor, "I don't think I'll be able to keep it together if the GiW-"

A loud knock at the front door was heard and everything froze when they heard who it was.

"Government operatives! Open up!"

"… show up again," Trevor growled as his eyes began to burn blue, "Clearly our warnings fell on deaf ears."

Downstairs, Jeremy and Pam were blocking the GiW entry into their home.

"What's the meaning of this!?" Pam exclaimed, "I demand an explanation."

Operative L stepped forward with a tablet in his hand.

"Ma'am, our scans show that a dangerous ghost is hiding in your residence," he explained, "We have the authority to search the premise and seize the ghost."

"A ghost? Here!?" Jeremy exclaimed.

He and his wife glanced at each other before looking over their shoulders and glaring upstairs. Back in the room, Sam was poking her head out to hear what was going on. She quickly pulled back inside and shut the door. Footsteps stormed up the steps and the operatives surrounded the door before they began to try and bash it open.

"Uh-oh," she muttered as she leaned against the door.

"Don't tell me," Trevor said flatly, "The Guys in White are here."

"Yup," Sam replied.

"Weapons drawn and ready?" Trevor asked.

"Most likely."

"… Bring it on," Trevor said calmly as a blue ring appeared around his waist.

"Got it!" Tucker exclaimed as he pulled the tracker off.

"Perfect," Specter replied before swiping it from his hands, "I'll deal with these idiots."

"We know you're in there, ghost!" Operative O shouted.

"Come out quietly or we will force you out!" Operative K exclaimed.

No one replied and the operative walked up to the door. He kicked it open and they stormed the room.

"Huh!?" they exclaimed.

Danny, Tucker, and Sam were sitting on the ground, playing cards, while Danielle was covered by the blanket, with her back towards the operatives. The three teens looked over and stared at them.

"Uh, can we help you?" Sam asked, raising an eyebrow and feigning confusion.

"Are you kids okay?" Operative M asked, "Our scans indicate that a ghost is in this very room."

Danielle glanced to the side nervously as she remained facing the opposite direction.

"Well, as you can see, there are no ghosts here," said Tucker, "Now if you don't mind, I'd like to clean house here."

"Operative L, report!" Operative O ordered.

"Target has left the premise," said the operative, "Signal has been lost."

"Curses," Operative K muttered.

"Oh, so you're wasting our time now?" Danny asked, trying to suppress his anger, "Do use a favor and get out."

"Not until we do a full sweep of the area," said Operative O.

*Ahem*

The operatives turned around and saw a very unhappy Jeremy and Pam with their arms crossed and glaring at them. Within a few seconds, the operatives were ushered out of the Manson residence, with Pam ranting about lawsuits and attorneys. They entered their van and prepared to drive off but were unaware of Specter phasing from the ground and placing the tracker onto the van. Danny, Tucker, and Sam watched from the window as the van drove away.

"Are they gone?" Danielle asked in fear.

Danny turned around and walked to the bedside.

"They're gone," he smiled, "You okay?"

Danielle nodded before slowly moving the blanket down and showing the wound just above her nip, wincing in pain.

"Alright, let's finish treating that injury and let you rest," said Danny as Sam walked over to the other side.

Tucker looked around and scratched his head in confusion, walking around as though he was searching for something.

"Where'd Wulf go?" he asked.

*Thud*

Due to Wulf's invisibility, Tucker didn't see him lying on the ground and tripped over the ghost.

"Sorry," Wulf smiled goofily in English before falling asleep.

Specter phased through the floor and turned tangible as soon as he stood on solid ground. A blue ring appeared around his waist as he facepalmed the sight of Tucker on the ground.

"How's that feel, Dani?" Sam asked as she finished taping the bandage on.

"Weird… ow…" Danielle replied.

"Does it hurt?" Danny asked.

Danielle shook her head before pointing towards her throat.

"Sore throat?" Trevor asked.

Danielle nodded.

"I'll see if my grandma can make some soup," said Sam.

It was at this point that Sam realized that Danielle was lying on a towel while Danny, Trevor, and Wulf were still dripping water.

"You guys have some cleaning up to do," she remarked, putting her hands on her hips.

"I'm on it," Trevor grumbled, "And I could use some soup as well, if it's okay."

"Clean up your mess and maybe you'll get some dinner," Sam joked.

"Who do you think you are? My mother?" Trevor retaliated as he grabbed a towel from ground and left the room.

Sam smirked as she followed him, and Tucker went to Danny's side. He glanced over and saw the Danielle had fallen asleep and was nestled under the blanket.

"So, what happened?" Tucker asked.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

A few miles away, the GiW van was pulled over and Operative L was crawling out from under the van with the tracker in his hands. His suit was filthy as he got back into the van and closed the door behind him.

"I have unfortunate news," he reported before holding up the tracker, "We've been following ourselves."

The operatives all groaned in annoyance as Walker made himself visible inside the van.

"This is clearly outside your league," he stated, "I might have a plan that involves us working together and benefits us both."

Operatives K and O turned around in their seats and stared at Walker.

"We're listening," they said simultaneously.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

Sam smirked at Trevor as she passed him in the hallway, with him cleaning the floor.

"Wipe the smile off your face," he hissed, making her laugh.

Sam went downstairs and entered the kitchen, where she found Ida reaching into a cabinet under the counter and pulling out a large pot. Jeremy and Pam were seated at the table, talking on the phones with their lawyers.

"Hey, grandma," said Sam.

"Ah, hello, Bubeleh," Ida replied as Sam gave her a kiss on the forehead, "Are you hungry?"

"A little," Sam admitted before leaning close so her parents wouldn't hear their conversation, "Listen, Danny's cousin isn't feeling well. She's upstairs resting, so in the meantime I was wondering if you could make some soup for her."

Ida smirked and jerked a thumb over her shoulder, showing Sam that she was already getting ready to make some food with all the ingredients on the counter.

"I guess you read my mind," Sam chuckled, "I'll leave it to you then."

"Of course," said Ida, "The poor thing looks like she's been through a lot. Especially with what those horrible agents did to her."

"What do you mean?" Sam asked.

Ida glanced behind Sam and saw Trevor staring back for a moment before he walked away and went upstairs. Sam whipped her head around and saw him leave just in time.

"Why don't you leave this old woman to the cooking and you go back to your friends?" Ida suggested, "It'll take a few hours before the soup will be ready."

Sam hugged her grandmother and left to rejoin her friends. Once she reached the top of the stairs, Sam noticed Trevor leaning against the wall, right next to her bedroom door.

"Danielle's asleep," he explained without having to turn towards her, "Fenton and Foley are in your room."

"And Wulf?"

"He's resting as well," Trevor replied as he followed Sam into her room, "Guess we better get this over with."

"Get what over with?" Sam asked as she and Trevor joined Danny and Tucker on the floor of her room, "What's going on?"

"That's exactly what we're about to tell you," said Danny, who appeared to still be angry about earlier.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

At the Fenton Works, Jack and Maddie were down in the labs; Jack combing through all the documents and paperwork in the filing cabinet while Maddie was on the phone.

"Yes, that is correct," said Maddie as she went through a box full of papers, "I see… and how long will it take before we receive the documents?"

Jack pulled out a piece of paper, which turned out to be just a photo of Jazz when she was a baby in a pink jumper and a pacifier in her mouth.

"Awwww…" Jack sighed.

"FOUR TO SIX WEEKS!?" Maddie exclaimed, "Is there any way we can get those financials in the next few days?"

Jack walked over and showed Maddie photo, causing her to adore it as well.

"That's adorable," she sighed, "Enough distractions, we need to find those documents!"

"Don't worry, Maddie!" Jack exclaimed, "I'll find those documents even if it's the last thing I ever do!"

"Are you sure?" Maddie asked, focusing back to her call, "… *Sigh* Yes, I understand. Thank you."

She hung up the phone and continued searching through the box. A few seconds later, the phone rang.

"Hello?" said Maddie, "Oh, Jazz!"

"Jazz!?" Jack asked, "Let me talk to her!"

"Yes, sweetie, that was your father," Maddie told Jazz, "Sure, you can talk to him."

She held her hand over the mic and looked over to Jack.

"Don't tell her that we lost her financial documents," she told him as Jack took the phone and placed it to his ear.

"Jazzerincess!" Jack cried out in tears, "I miss you so much!"

Maddie continued searching through the box.

"What's that, Jazz?" Jack asked, "Did your mother say something about financial papers? No! Of course not! Why would you ask something like that!? *Sniff* I'm sorry, I just miss you so mu-huh-huuuuuuuch!"

Maddie gave Jack a gentle pat on the arm as she took the phone from him.

"Jazz? Yes, he's having another episode," Maddie chuckled, "You know how much your father misses you. What's that? Your financials!? Tomorrow!?"

Jack's eyes widened and he went straight back to searching for the documents.

"No, no, nothing's wrong with that, Jazz!" Maddie replied, "Yes, we're fine. Alright, we'll go over it tomorrow. I love you too, Jazz. Bye."

Maddie hung up and dove back into the box.

"Jazz is going to hate us if we don't find those documents by tomorrow," she said, worried.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

As the storm raged on outside, the GiW operatives sat in their van and watched the Manson residence from a distance. They spotted Walker flying towards the residence with Bullet and a couple of his goons following.

"Looks like we're about to hit the jackpot," said Operative K, "ETA from our destination after we capture the targets?"

"2 hours," said Operative M.

"Perfect," said Operative O, "Now we just have to wait."

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

Danielle slowly opened her eyes and sat up as she stretched and yawned. She rubbed her eyes and looked around the room.

"Danny?" she called out softly.

She slightly winced from the soar throat she still had. She got out of bed and opened the door, poking her head out and looked around.

"Danny?"

The door across from the one she was in opened, slightly startling her.

"Danny!" she said with joy, rushing over and hugging him.

"Hey, Danielle," he laughed, "How are you feeling?"

"A little better," she replied, "My throat's still sore and I'm starving."

"Yep, she's a Fenton, alright," Sam laughed from her bed.

"Oh, hey, guys," said Danielle.

She let go of Danny and join Tucker, Sam, Trevor, and Wulf.

"Amiko!" Wulf exclaimed and gave Danielle a big lick.

(Friend!)

"Ewwww…." she groaned, wiping her face, "Why does he keep doing that?"

"That's just Wulf's way of showing affection," Danny explained, "I take if you don't know Esperanto?"

"Espe-what-now?" Danielle asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Nerd language," Sam replied.

"Hey! You wanted to learn it yourself, you know!" Tucker snapped, "I taught you, remember?"

"My point exactly," Sam smirked.

Danielle turned to Wulf and raised an eyebrow.

"Wait, he only understands that language?" she asked.

"No, he understands English," said Trevor, "he just prefers to speak Esperanto 99% of the time."

"Oh," Danielle replied before she noticed Trevor's bandaged hand, "What happened to you?"

"This?" he asked, holding up the hand in question, "Hunting accident."

"Heh… he's not wrong," Tucker quipped.

"How are you doing?" Trevor asked Danielle, "Sorry we couldn't reach you sooner."

"I'm fine," she replied, "I'm just glad to be away from those weirdos."

"The Guys in White?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, the guys in the white suits," said Danielle, "Who were those guys?"

"The Guys in White," said Danny.

"Uh, yeah? Those guys," said Danielle, "Who are they?"

"The Guys in White," Danny repeated, not sure why Danielle was asking again.

"Yes, the guys in white suits. Who are they!?" Danielle asked, getting annoyed.

Trevor gave her side-eye.

"Are you having a laugh?" he asked.

"I'm just asking who those guys in the white suits are," said Danielle, "Why won't anyone answer me?"

"The Guys in-"

"Danny, shut up," said Trevor before he turned back to Danielle, "The guys in the white suits that hurt you are operatives of a 'secret' government agency called the Guys in White."

Danielle had a look of disbelief and utter confusion written all over her face.

"They're purpose is to track down any and all paranormal entities and destroy them," Trevor continued, "Clearly those idiots thought you were Phantom and tried to capture you."

"But I am Phantom," said Danielle.

Trevor stared at her in silence to process her response.

"… Are you naïve?" he asked before pointing to Danny, "I'm referring to him."

*GGGGRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

"Anyone got something to eat?" Danielle asked innocently.

"Guess that answers my question," Trevor muttered under his breath as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"My grandmother is making soup," said Sam, "It should be done soon."

"Actually…"

Everyone turned to the door and saw Ida on her mobility scooter.

"The soup is ready now," she explained, "Ah, you must be Danny's cousin."

"Yes, I am," Danielle replied, "I'm Danielle, but you can call me Dani. That's Dani with an 'I'."

"Well, sweetie, why don't we all head downstairs and give everyone a bowl of my French onion soup?" Ida suggested, getting Trevor's attention.

"Ooh, yes, please!" Danielle exclaimed.

Danny, Tucker, Sam, and Trevor left the room and made their way downstairs while Ida quickly pulled Sam aside.

"She's certainly a lively one," said Ida, "Much like Daniel."

"That she is," said Sam.

"I'd keep an eye on her if I were you," said Ida, "She seems lonely."

"She'll be fine, grandma," said Sam, "She's got me and Danny and Tucker."

She tapped her chin for a moment before smirking.

"And Trevor," she added before her eyes widened, "Wait… are mom and dad still downstairs?"

"There's another one!?" Jeremy and Pam exclaimed from downstairs.

"Oh, dear," Ida sighed, "I better get back down there and deal with the wolves."

Ida glanced over her shoulder.

"Not you, Wulf," she clarified, "Best if you stay here for the time being."

Sam stared at her grandmother in disbelief that she had no issue with a ghost in her room. As she and Ida made their way down the hall, Wulf decided now would be the perfect time for him to lie back down and go the sleep. No one noticed Walker peaking through the bedroom window as lighting cracked through the sky. Danielle was slowly made her way back to Sam's room, with Danny and Tucker close behind.

"Where's Trevor?" Sam asked.

"Trying to keep the peace," Danny replied, "Better get down there fast. He might chew them out at any second."

"No need to tell me twice," said Sam.

"Bubeleh!" Ida called from below, "Your soup will get cold!"

"Coming!" Sam replied and made her way downstairs.

She joined Trevor in the kitchen as he grabbed his bowl of soup.

"Sam, how the heck did your grandmother make her way down the stairs in a mobility scooter?" he asked.

"I have no idea," she replied, "When it comes to my grandma, she's just one big mystery."

"Well, considering that she somehow knew this is one of my favorite meals and knows about Wulf, you may be right," Trevor smirked.

He and Sam grabbed their bowls and went back upstairs.

"I hope Danielle will like it," said Sam, "Knowing how I feel about meat, my grandma uses mushroom broth instead of beef in soup."

"Well, with French onion soup," Trevor said as he entered Sam's room, "mushroom broth is the best choice to- Are you serious?"

Wulf was lying on his back with his tongue hanging out while Danielle was scratching his stomach, causing him to kick his right leg in pleasure.

"Wulf, you are a ferocious beast that has the ability to create his own ghost portals," said Trevor, "and all it takes for you to turn into a puppy is a belly scratch!?"

"He's a big softie, aren't you, Wulf?" Danielle giggled as she scratched harder.

Wulf's leg kicked faster as he panted. Trevor rolled his eyes as he and Sam joined everyone on the floor.

"So, what brings you back here, Danielle?" Danny asked, "You've only been away for a couple of weeks."

"Eh," Danielle shrugged as she finished the last of the soup in her bowl, "Traveling got a bit stale. I wanted to stay with you."

Trevor gave her a suspicious look as he ate his soup.

"Aw, that's, uh… sweet, Danielle," said Sam, trying to not express concern.

Unfortunately, Danielle noticed and raised an eyebrow.

"Is something wrong, Sam?" Danielle asked.

She glanced around and noticed that Danny, Tucker, and Trevor were also concerned.

"What?" Danielle asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Danny placed his bowl down and approached his look alike on his knees.

"Danielle, I need you to answer me honestly, okay?" Danny asked.

"Uh… about what?" Danielle asked nervously.

"*Sigh* What have you been doing these past couple of weeks?" Danny asked.

"Travelling?" Danielle answered with a nervous smile.

"I mean… how did you end up like… this?" Danny asked.

"I… don't know what you're talking about."

"Danielle…"

Danielle sighed and put her bowl down.

"I… I haven't been doing so well since you saved me from Vlad," she admitted, "I thought people wouldn't mind letting a girl have a decent place to sleep for the night or offer some free food, but…"

"World full of heartless jerks?" Trevor asked.

Danielle nodded. Danny, Tucker, and Sam were in disbelief.

"Wha- How… I… Why didn't you come to me for help?" Danny asked.

"I didn't want to be a burden to you," Danielle sighed.

"How can you be a burden?" Danny asked, "You're like family to me!"

"That's why," Danielle mumbled.

"What?" Danny asked.

"I'm like family," Danielle explained as she pulled her legs up and hugged them, "I know you care about me and treat me like I'm your cousin, but in the back of your mind, I'm just a clone."

"That's not true!" Danny exclaimed, earning him a look from Danielle, "Okay, maybe I do, but that's not what I meant when I think you're like family."

He reached over and pulled her close for a hug.

"You are family to me," he told her, "I don't care about you being a clone, I care about you more than you will ever know."

"Hey, save some of that love for me," Sam smirked.

When Danny pulled away from Danielle, he was met with tears of joy.

"Thanks, Danny," Danielle smiled before leaning over and kissing him on the cheek.

A flash of light got the two half-ghosts' attention when Sam took their picture with her camera.

"Aww," she teased, "I think this might be one of my favorites once I put it in my scrapbook."

Danny and Danielle instantly blushed when they saw the photo in Sam's hand. Suddenly, Wulf shot up to his feet and began sniffing the air.

"Wulf?" Trevor asked, "Ĉu io malbonas?"

(Wulf? Is something wrong?)

"Ili estas ĉi tie..." Wulf growled.

(They are here…)

"Who's here?" Sam asked.

Suddenly, Danny and Danielle gasped as their ghost sense went off.

"Helping a known fugitive escape arrest," said a voice, "That's against the rules."

"Walker," Danny growled.

Everyone jumped to their feet and the three halfas went ghost.

"What are you doing here, Walker?" Danny asked, glancing around for any sign of the ghost, "You rarely ever leave the Ghost Zone."

"Your friend, Wulf, was kind enough to make a tear back into the Ghost Zone," Walker explained, "And now, the four of you are under arrest."

"Over my dead body," said Specter, "Why don't you do us all a favor and go back to your prison, warden."

"I'm afraid I can't do that," said Walker, "And none of you will have a choice."

Sam's bedroom door opened, and Jeremy and Pam entered the room, getting everyone's attention.

"Mom? Dad?" Sam asked, "Of all the moments for them to barge in here."

"Samantha, what in the world is going on here!?" Pam asked, "You know better than to be around these ghosts!"

"Oh, shut up," said Specter, "Walker, if your goons are gonna overshadow people, at least have them make an effort to actually fool us."

Jeremy and Pam expressed shock for a brief moment before their eyes turned red and an evil grin appeared on their faces.

"But we did fool you," said 'Jeremy'.

Two of Walker's other goons phased through the ceiling and overshadowed Tucker and Sam. Their eyes turned red and the same grin appeared on their faces as they each pulled out a shock collar and snuck up behind Danny and Wulf. Specter turned around and realized what was going on.

"Danny! Wulf! Look out!" he exclaimed.

*WHAM*

Specter didn't notice Walker behind him and was punched in the face, instantly knocking him out. The overshadowed Tucker and Sam slammed the shock collars around Danny's and Wulf's necks.

"Danny?" Dani asked, glancing over to her cousin.

At the moment, the GiW stormed into the room and surrounded a dazed Specter and Dani, pointing their ecto-assault rifles at them.

"You're coming with us, ghost scum!" said Operative K.

Dani got into a fighting stance as her hands began to glow green.

"Not today, criminal," said a voice behind her.

Suddenly, a pair of pink ecto-whips**** wrapped around Dani's body.

"Hey!" she shouted, struggling to break free, "Let me go!"

Bullet yanked Dani towards him and readied his fist. Dani gasped before everything went black.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

"Wake up."

Danny began to stir as he regained consciousness.

"Huh!?" he exclaimed when he felt his wrists and ankles restrained.

He looked down and realized that not only was he still in his ghost form, but his arms and legs were strapped to a metal chair that was placed under a small light, surrounded by darkness.

"Don't try turning back into a human," said Walker as he walked into the light, "You won't be able to escape this time."

"Alright, Walker, let's get this over with," Danny said half-heartedly, "Tell me your plan, I'll find a way to escape, blah blah blah; why don't we skip the fighting and get straight to the part where me and my friends escape."

"You mean friend?" Walker smirked, getting close to Danny's face.

"Friend?" Danny asked, "Wulf?"

"That's all I've wanted, punk," Walker explained as he began to walk slowly around Danny, "You and Wulf back behind bars. Specifically, in my prison."

"What have you done with my friends!?" Danny shouted, grunting as he tried to break free.

"Your human friends are of no concern to me," Walker replied, "The geek, the girl, and her parents were left behind."

"What about Dani? And Specter?" Phantom asked.

"By now, they are probably leaving the city limits of Amity Park," Walker smirked.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

A few miles outside of the city limits of Amity Park, the GiW van was driving off through the storm, with an unconscious Dani Phantom and Logan Specter in the back. Their wrists were cuffed behind their backs, connected to chain link that was secured to the walls. Specter groaned as his eyes began to open.

"Damn you, Walker," he muttered.

Specter looked over and saw Dani sitting across from him.

"Hey, Dani?" he called out.

"Uggghhhh…" she moaned as she began to wake up, "Where am I?"

"One of the last places you'd want to be," Specter replied, "The back of the GiW van."

Dani glanced around and saw the white metal containing her and Specter. She pulled on the restraints but couldn't break free.

"Don't even bother," said Specter, "The cuffs have anti-ghost tech inside. Ghost powers have no effect on them."

"Great," Dani muttered, "Wait! Where's Danny!?"

"Walker and his goons probably took him and Wulf back to his prison in the Ghost Zone," Specter replied.

"Oh, even better," Dani sulked, "So much for me not being a burden."

"What are you talking about?" Specter asked, giving her a look, "It wasn't your fault Walker showed up and-"

"Yes, it is," Dani moped, "I'm the one who brought Wulf along with me. If I just left when that ice cream man told me to, none of this would have happened."

"Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, hang on a second," said Specter, "First of all, if it's anyone's fault, it's the GiW's and Walker's. Second, if it weren't for you, Wulf would have been captured by the GiW or Walker… or worse. And third… did you go to the small ice cream parlor on the west side of town?"

"Yeah… why?"

"The one with the douchebag who insults every customer?"

"He insults everyone?" Danielle asked.

"Yeah, he's a real piece of work," said Specter, "The point is, none of this was your fault."

"But-"

"No buts!" Specter interrupted, "You are not a burden. And no matter what, Danny will always take care of you. Even if you're not-"

Specter's eyes widened and he glanced away.

"Not what?" Dani asked.

She studied Specter's reaction as he didn't look back. Her eyes widened when she realized what he was going to say.

"You know!?" she exclaimed.

"Yeah," Specter sighed, "I found out the day after you left."

"Does Danny know!?"

"Doubt it," Specter replied, "I haven't said a word, since it's not my place to do so."

Dani sighed in relief.

"But I think you should," said Specter.

"what?" Dani asked, "Tell him!?"

Specter nodded.

"But… I mean… what if…"

"I'm not saying you need to tell him immediately," said Specter, "I'm just saying you shouldn't keep this from him too long."

Dani gave him a hard side-eye.

"Who are you and what have you done with Specter?" she asked, "The real Specter would never be this compassionate."

"Well, I came from the future and met these three idiots who began to destroy my 'façade' of me being serious kid."

Dani giggled and sighed.

"So… what now?" she asked, "Do we just let these guys win?"

"Hell, no," Specter smirked, "I'm working on it."

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

"Where are they, Walker!?" Danny shouted.

"Let's just say that where they're going, they'll never be a bother to anyone ever again," Walker smirked as he stood before Phantom, arms crossed.

"You let the Guys in White take them away?" Phantom asked in disbelief, "Are you insane!? Do you even know what they're gonna do to them!?"

"Not my problem," said Walker, "Guards! Send the prisoner to his cell."

A pair of ghost guards appeared from the shadows and approached Danny. They grabbed his arms before the restraints unlocked, freeing Danny's wrists and ankles. Phantom glared at the three ghosts and turned intangible, pulling his arms free. Before the guards could react, Danny punched them both in the face and flew towards Walker as his legs morphed into a ghost tail.

"Nice try," Walker smirked.

Phantom was only inches away from hitting Walker when the collar around his neck began shocking him, causing him to stop midair and groan in pain. His tail morphed back into legs as the shock continued.

"I'm afraid you won't be escaping this time, punk," Walker explained as he held up a small controller in his hand, "That collar around your neck can be activated from anywhere."

Danny descended to the ground and leaned against his knees.

"Now, if I were you, I'd be on my best behavior," said Walker, "Wouldn't want to a repeat performance now, would we?"

"I swear, if anything happens to Danielle, you're gonna-"

"Empty threats from a cornered punk," Walker interjected, "Guards, take him away."

The two guards floated over to Danny, grabbed him by the arms, and dragged him away.

"Oh, and don't think your friends are going to save you this time, ghost kid," Walker said over his shoulder, "I've got a hundred guards patrolling the outside of the facility. No one's getting in. Or out."

Danny struggled a little as he was dragged away, leaving Walker alone in the room.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

Back inside the GiW van, Dani and Logan were still handcuffed to the sides of the van. Specter was grunting in frustration as he struggled around in his seat.

"What are you trying to do?" Dani asked.

"Get us out of here," Specter snapped, causing her to lower her head, "*Sigh* I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I'm just frustrated."

When Dani didn't respond for a few seconds, Specter focused back on his task. He began shifting around in his seat, causing something to begin sliding out from his back pocket. The more he moved, the more the object came out.

"Oh, come on!" Specter hissed, slamming his back against the wall.

*Bang bang*

"Shut up, back there!" Agent L exclaimed, after banging on the wall.

"Go to hell, child beaters!" Specter shouted.

He scoffed and glanced the other way. It took a moment for him to notice something out of the corner of his eye. He looked down to the ground and saw that his family photo had fallen out of his pocket and was now faceup on the ground.

"Is that your family?" Dani asked.

"Uh," Logan gasped as he tried to reach for the photo with his foot.

"What?" Dani asked, "It's just a photo. I'm guessing that's your mom… you big sister…"

"Phantom… stop," Specter told her, worried.

"I'm guessing that's your older brother," Dani continued, "He looks a lot like you."

"Dani… please," Specter begged, "Stop."

"I see you; must be from a couple of years ago," she smirked, "And… ah, that must be your little sister, right?"

Specter's foot froze before his leg relaxed and he sat up normally.

"No dad, huh?" Dani asked, not taking her eyes off the photo, "Guess we both have something in common."

Specter didn't reply.

"Or, maybe something happened to him?" Dani asked, "I didn't mean to be rude."

Specter remained silent. This time, Dani did look up.

"Hey, I didn't mean-"

She stopped talking when she noticed Specter staring at the photo. She followed his line of sight and figured out he was staring at the little girl with long black hair and purple irises, wearing a dark red dress. In her hands was a black and white skeleton plushie with an orange jack-o'-lantern with green eyes for a head.

"Specter?" Dani asked, looking back to him, "Are you okay?"

Specter slowly shook his head.

"Logan, are you-"

"We'll talk about it later," Specter growled, hinting anger and melancholy in his voice.

"… okay," Dani sighed, "What now?"

"I have no idea," Logan groaned.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

Back in Walker's prison, Danny, who was now in the same black and white striped prison uniform and hat he wore last time he was locked up, was sitting in his cell. Glaring at the security camera that was monitoring him. A loud buzzer went off and his cell door opened.

"Alright, prisoners, you know the drill!" a guard said through the speakers, "All Block B through C inmates, get yourselves to the cafeteria!"

Phantom groaned as he got up and walked out of his cell.

*Thud*

"Hey, watch it!" a prison snapped when Phantom bumped into him.

"Geez, sor-ry," Phantom muttered.

He followed the prisoner down the hall and entered the cafeteria. Danny glanced around the area but found only a handful of remotely familiar ghosts he had dealt with in the past.

"Do bad Skulker isn't here," Phantom said to himself, "I sure could use his help, as much as I hate to admit it."

"Hey, it's the ghost-boy!" a prisoner exclaimed, getting every ghost's attention to Danny.

"Well, isn't this a surprise," another smirked.

"Looks like we're gonna have a punching bag after all!" shouted another.

Suddenly, a long tentacle shot from the side and grabbed Phantom's leg.

"H-hey!" he exclaimed before the tentacle picked him up and smashed him against the wall.

"That's enough," Walker ordered from the catwalk above, "There will be plenty of time for you to play with the punk later."

The tentacle's owner scoffed in annoyance as he dropped Phantom.

"Ow," he muttered as he got back to his feet, "This is ridiculous. I don't have time for this."

He turned around to leave but was blocked by two guards.

"Get out of the way," Phantom warned, only to get laughs from them in response, "Grrrr… fine then."

He held up his hands and blasted the two guards with his ghost rays. Phantom began running down the hall. Suddenly, the shock collar activated and shocked him, bring him to his hands and knees.

"You've got guts, kid, I'll give you that," said Walker as he floated down and approached Phantom, "But fun's over. You're never getting out of this place again."

The shock collar stopped shocking Phantom, allowing him to catch his breath. A pair of furry feet stood before him and he slowly looked up to find Wulf standing before him.

"Wulf!?" Phantom exclaimed as he noticed the collar around his neck as well.

His ally gave him a sad look before he made his way inside the cafeteria.

"You know the drill, Wulf," said Walker, "Grab your food and get back into your cell."

He then turned to Phantom.

"As for you, you can return to your cell, with or without food."

"I'm not hungry," said Danny, glaring back at him.

"Very well," said Walker, "Guards! Take him back to his cell."

Two guards floated past Wulf and Walker and grabbed Phantom by the arms. Wulf glanced over his shoulder as he watched his friend disappear around a corner.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

In the front of the van, the operatives were sitting in their seats in silence while Operative K continued driving through the rain. A loud bang was heard in the back, getting their attention.

"Sounds like the cargo isn't too secured," Operative K muttered, "Pulling over. Operatives L and M, you two go check the cargo."

The van was pulled off to the side as lightning flashed in the distance. Thunder boomed as the two operatives stepped out of the van.

"Ugh," Operative M groaned, "This mud will be an issue to remove from this suit."

"As if the stains on our suits already won't be difficult to remove," said Operative L as they walked around the van and unlocked the doors, "Alright, let's deal with the brats and get out of here."

The doors opened and Logan and Dani looked over to the operatives.

"Bathroom break?" Dani asked, "Yeah, we're fine, thank you very much."

"Silence, ghost scum!" Operative L ordered, "You two have been making a lot of racket back here. And ghosts don't have to use the bathroom."

"You'd be surprised," Logan said flatly.

"Operative M, hand me the shackles," Operative L ordered.

Operative M reached into his suit and pulled out two shackles with short, purple glowing chains.

"Oh, so because you dumbasses can't drive, you're gonna punish us?" Specter asked, "Typical."

"Sit still and remain silent," Operative L ordered as he knelt down to put the restrains on Specter's ankles.

"Don't try anything funny," Operative M warned, revealing an ecto-rifle aimed at Specter.

"Hmm… I can work with that," Specter replied.

Operative L glanced over and saw the photo on the ground.

"What is this?"

*WHAM*

Logan kneed Operative L in the face, snapping his sunglasses and knocking him against the opposite wall right next to Dani. A small metal key slipped out of the operative's pocket and landed in her lap.

"Hey!" Operative M exclaimed and shot Specter in the right arm.

"GAH!" he exclaimed, before he glared at the operative, breathing heavily, "Seriously? You'd shoot a kid?"

"You're a ghost," Operative M replied, "Age is meaningless to you."

Operative L shook his head and got back to his feet.

"If this brat does anything funny again, destroy him," he told Operative M.

*Click*

As the cuffs slipped off her wrists, Dani lunged forward, grabbing Operative L's head and slamming his face into the wall. Before Operative M could react, Dani launched an ecto-disk at his weapon, knocking it out of his hand. Operative M watched the weapon fly a couple feet away and land in the mud before he glanced back over in time for Dani to punch him in the face.

"Not bad, Phantom," Specter commented.

"Did you have to do that?" Dani asked over her shoulder.

"Hey, I didn't do anything funny."

Dani flew back inside the van and pulled out the key.

"Are you okay?" she asked as she leaned over and unlocked Specter's handcuffs.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he replied as he picked up his photo and shoved it back into his pocket, "I've had worse."

"How much worse?" she asked.

"… You don't wanna know," Specter replied before glancing between the unconscious operatives, "Quite a mess we've made."

"Operative L, Operative M, report!" Operative O yelled from the front of the van.

"Come on!" Dani whispered, "Let's get out of here!"

"No!" Logan replied, grabbing her arm, "We leave now, they'll just come back after us. We're not that far from Amity Park."

"Operatives, report!" Operative K ordered.

"What do we do?" Dani asked, worried.

"Phantom, we're half-ghosts," Logan smirked, "What do you think we should do about the ones sleeping?"

Dani raised an eyebrow before the lightbulb went off in her head. Back in the front, Operative O was drumming his fingers on the dash, wondering what was taking so long.

"Operatives, what is going on!?" he yelled.

"Calm yourself, Operative O," Operative M replied.

"Oh!" Operative O exclaimed when he saw Operative M standing just outside his door, "Apologies, operative. I didn't not notice you approaching."

"The cargo is making things rather… difficult," Operative M explained, "Operative L and myself will remain in the back of the van to keep a close watch on the two ghosts."

"Understood," Operative O replied, "Are you alright? Your voice sounds different."

"I'm standing in the cold rain because someone couldn't drive properly," Operative M remarked, "I'll have to put in a requisition order for cold medicine if this keeps up."

He walked back around the van and got in the back, where Dani had plopped Operative L's body. Specter phased out of Operative M's body and let the operative slump down next to his partner.

"Alright, let's get out of here," said Dani as she and Logan floated out and closed the doors behind them.

The van began to drive off and the two halfas turned invisible. As the van disappeared into the distance, they became visible again and flew off back to Amity Park.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

Danny laid in his bunk, frowning at the ceiling.

"What am I gonna do?" he sighed, "If Danielle and Specter don't find a way to escape, there's no telling what the GiW will do to them."

He sat up combed his hair back with his hand.

"If I could just get rid of this stupid collar…"

*Ding*

Phantom glanced over at the camera as he grabbed his blanket and chucked it over the camera.

"This is probably one of the dumbest ideas I've ever come up with," he muttered seconds before the collar activated.

Fighting through the pain, Danny held his ground as he got to his feet and leaned against the wall opposite of the cell door.

"Phantom, I don't know what you hope to achieve," Walker said as he walked down the hall, controller in hand, "but it's hopeless."

The collar deactivated just as Walker was nearing the cell. He stopped in front of Phantom's cell and peered inside.

"Hm?"

Walker glanced around and realized Phantom was nowhere in sight.

"Guards!" he shouted, "Open this cell!"

An alarm buzzed and the cell open. Walker stepped inside and looked around.

"How is this possible!? He couldn't have escaped so easily!"

"Who says I escaped?" Phantom asked as he revealed himself behind the warden.

Walker spun around and gasped as Phantom punched him in the face and took the controller from his hand. He then spun around and kicked the warden into wall.

"So much for me being locked up for good," Danny smirked as he pressed a button on the controller.

The collar beeped a couple of times before it unlocked. Phantom grabbed the collar and tossed it at Walker. It grabbed his neck and locked into place.

"What!?" Walker exclaimed, before glaring up at Phantom, "You…"

Phantom smirked as he flew out of the cell and slammed the door closed, locking Walker inside.

"Guards!" Walker shouted, "Get me out- AAAAAAUUUGGGHHH!"

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Danny taunted as he kept his thumb on the controller button, "Isn't there a rule against prisoners ordering guards around?"

"Hey, the ghost-kid escaped!" a guard exclaimed, startling Danny and causing him to drop the controller.

"And that's my cue to leave," Danny quipped to himself as he turned and flew off down the hall.

A squad of guards chased after him while a couple opened the cell Walker was in.

"Walker, are you alright?" one of them asked.

"I will be," Walker muttered as he picked up the controller and removed the collar from his neck, "once I get my hands on that punk."

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

"Jack, have you found it!?" Maddie exclaimed, as she pulled her head out of a box of documents.

She and Jack were in the kitchen, digging through more boxes of documents.

"Nope," Jack replied, causing Maddie to sigh.

"We've searched everywhere, and we can't find those financials," she groaned, "Maybe it'll be best if we just pay for her education."

"You're probably right," Jack sighed as Logan and Dani flew past the kitchen, "But that won't make Jazz hate us."

"She was very insistent on not relying on us for financial support," said Maddie, "She won't like hearing about this."

"There's a lot to not like in this world," said Jack, "but I know one thing; family always supports each other. Doesn't matter if they are part ghost or not."

Dani poked her head around the corner, surprised by what she heard.

"Still surprised as I am about Danny's… nature?" Maddie asked.

"Very," Jack replied, "But he's our son. And our prejudice of ghosts made us blind to long. It's strangely comforting to know not all ghosts are evil. Heck, I could even consider Danielle as a daughter, regardless of how she came to this world."

A smile appeared on Dani's face just before Specter grabbed her shoulders and pulled her towards the lab.

"I do as well," Maddie smiled, "Maybe the next time she visits we talk to her about staying with us."

Her eyes widened.

"But first, we should double check everywhere for those financials!" she exclaimed as she scanned through all the forms again.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

Phantom flew down the halls, passing over every guard he came across.

"Jeez, how many guards does Walker have here?"

He flew around a corner and halted to a stop when he realized the way was blocked by a squad of guards holding batons and riot shields.

"Hold it right there, Phantom," one of them ordered.

"Nope," he replied and flew off in the opposite direction.

"After him!" the guard shouted.

A couple cell blocks away, Wulf had returned to his highly secure cell with his tray of food^* and was eating like an animal. As he licked the plate clean, a familiar scent reached his nose. He smelled the air and went over to the door.

*Sniff sniff*

"Amiko?" Wulf wondered.

He peered through the small window on his cell door^**. A moment later, Phantom raced across his field of view, followed by a squad of guards chasing after him. Wulf narrowed his eyes and growled. Suddenly, Danny reappeared in front of Wulf, relinquishing his invisibility.

"Wulf!"

"Amiko!"

Danny glanced around the door but couldn't find anything to grab to open the door. He raised an eyebrow and turned to Wulf, who was deadpanning as he held up a hand and pointed to the right of the door, referring to the lever. Phantom pulled it down and the door opened. Wulf hopped out and licked Danny's face.

"Alright, let's get out of here," said Phantom, "We need to find Danielle and Specter before the GiW do who knows what to them."

"I don't think so."

Phantom and Wulf looked over and saw Walker, Bullet, and a couple dozen guards blocking the way.

"Let us go, Walker," Phantom warned.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, punk," said Walker, "You and Wulf have caused a lot of trouble. And for that, you will remain here. Forever."

Danny raised his hands and prepared to fire his ghost rays.

"I might not have you on a leash, ghost-boy," Walker smirked as he pulled out a remote control, "but can't say the same about your friend, Wulf."

Phantom's and Wulf's eyes widened as Walker pressed the button. But nothing happened.

"Hm?" Walker muttered, arching his brow as he pressed the button a couple more times before analyzing the controller, "What's going on!? Why isn't it working!?"

"Oh, it's working alright."

"Huh?" everyone exclaimed as they turned to Wulf and saw Logan Specter making himself visible, holding on to Wulf's collar and absorbing all the electrical current.

"Specter!" Phantom exclaimed.

"How did he get in here!?" Walker growled.

"Hey, bleach-head!"

*WHAM*

Dani flew straight at Walker and spun around, kicking him in the face.

"Ooooff," Walker grunted as he hit the wall.

Dani floated next to her cousin and held out her glowing green hands.

"What took you so long?" Danny smirked to his female counterpart.

"Hey, I'd like to see you try and escape from a GiW van!" Dani exclaimed, "Not to mention sneaking inside to save your butt."

Wulf glared at Walker as he reached up and gripped the collar with his two hands. With Specter taking the electrical energy, Wulf remained unharmed as he pulled the collar apart into two pieces.

"The shock collar has been removed!" Bullet exclaimed as he aimed his weapon at Wulf.

"Take down Wulf," Walker ordered.

On command, Bullet launched his ecto-whips at the ghost just as Specter blinked in front of Wulf. He snatched them out of the air and they wrapped around his right wrist before he was shocked.

"Mmmm…" Logan groaned, "Why'd I use my bad hand?"

He glared at Bullet as the attack continued to be ineffective on him.

"You think that's a shock? Let me show you what a real shock is," said Logan as his hand began to glow blue and crackled with electricity.

Suddenly, blue ecto-energy traveled up the whip and shocked Bullet, causing him the lose his grip on the weapon. Logan stopped yanked on the whip as Dani flew forward and grabbed it. She chuckled as she flew around Walker, Bullet, and the guards at high speed, wrapping them together in the whip. Once she had them all wrapped up, she landed beside Logan and began removing the whip from his hand. Danny glanced over and noticed that Specter was looking away, trying to hide his blush from everyone. He noticed Danny smirking and gave him a threatening look. Wulf turned to Danny and tilted his head in confusion.

"Ĉu li ŝatas ŝin?" he asked Danny.

(Does he like her?)

"Wulf, shut up," Logan muttered, giving him the same threatening look as he blushed harder.

"Huh?" Dani asked, raising an eyebrow, "What did he say?"

"Nothing," Logan said flatly, "Um… thanks for the help."

"No biggie," Dani replied as she tied the end of the whip to the weapon hilt, "So, what now?"

"You think this is the end, ghost-children!?" Walker exclaimed, getting their attention, "When I get out of here, I will put a bounty so high on your heads that you'll all be brought to my front doors before you can even transform!"

As Dani and Logan rolled their eyes, Wulf leaned over to Danny and whispered something into his ear. Danny glanced over to Wulf and nodded.

"What are you doing?" Walker asked as Danny slowly made his way over to the giant group of lassoed ghosts.

"Walker," Danny sighed with a smile as he stopped behind the ghosts, "I think it's high time you and your cronies did some time of your own."

Walker, Bullet, and the guards all raised a brow before Wulf's chuckle got their attention. They watched as Wulf slashed through the air and opened a tear into the real world.

"What is this!?" Walker exclaimed, "This is absurd! I am the warden of this prison! I bring order to the Ghost Zone! Do you have any idea what will happen as soon as the order is gone!?"

"Nothing, I bet," Danny smirked before he took a deep breath.

Wulf walked past the ghosts and Dani's and Specter's eyes widened as they realized what was about to happen. Dani dropped the whip and the two halfas flew behind Danny.

*Whoo-oo-OO-OO-OO-oo-oo-oo-OO-OO-OO-oo-oo-oo-OO-OO-OO~*

Walker, Bullet, and the guards yelled as the Ghostly Wail hurled the clump of ghosts into the air and into the tear. Logan, Dani, and Wulf had their ears covered as Dani opened one of her eyes.

"Danny, stop!" she shouted, "They're gone!"

Danny stopped his attack and sighed in exhaustion as the tear closed.

"Not the best way to appease a warden," Specter joked dryly.

"Well, he used my friends against me," Danny replied.

"Fair enough," said Specter.

"Can we get out of here?" Dani asked.

"Yeah," said Danny, "Let's get out of here."

"Permesu min helpi pri tio," Wulf smiled.

(Let me help you with that.)

He took a couple steps forward and tore open another tear. Danny walked over and glanced through.

"It leads back to Sam's room," Danny smiled to the others before turning to Wulf, "Dankon, Wulf."

(Thanks, Wulf.)

Wulf gave his friend a silly smile before he followed Phantom through the tear. Dani and Specter followed suit and the tear closed.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

"Uggghhh…"

"Oh, good, you're finally away!" Danielle exclaimed as Tucker and Sam slowly sat up and rubbed their heads.

"Ow…" Sam groaned, "What happened?"

"Walker and the Guys in White happened," Danny replied as he held out his hands, "They teamed up and captured me, Danielle, Wulf, and Trevor."

Tucker and Sam each took a hand and Danny helped them up.

"Why does my head feel like it's been used as Dash's bunching bag?" Tucker asked.

"A couple of Walker's goons overshadowed the both of you and forced shock collars on Phantom and Wulf," Trevor explained, "Walker then took them away to his prison."

"What happened to you and Danielle?" Tucker asked.

"We were VIPs and got a ride in the GiW van," Danielle replied, "Must say, not the greatest field trip ever. Zero out of ten from me."

"Wait, where are my parents?!" Sam exclaimed.

"Relax, Sam," said Danny, "When we got back, you, Tucker, and your parents were sill unconscious. Trevor carried them to their room and left them to sleep it off."

"Carried them?" Sam smirked.

"Telekinetically, Manson," Trevor clarified, "Don't get any ideas."

"How did you guys escape?" Tucker asked.

"Short version?" Danielle asked, "Tricked the Guys in White, traveled to the Ghost Zone, Danny tricked Walker and ran around the prison, freed Wulf, me and Logan showed up, beat the bad guys, and escaped the prison."

"Uh… some details would be nice," said Tucker.

"Can we talk about it another time?" Danielle yawned, "I'm beat, and I'd rather do something fun."

She turned to Trevor and remembered something.

"Or, maybe, I could help find Reaper?" she asked, causing Trevor to raise an eyebrow.

"Oh!" he exclaimed, "You know what? Forget about the whole 'impress me' thing."

"Huh?" Danielle exclaimed, "What? I thought-"

"You actually did really well against the GiW and Walker's goons, even as a team player," Trevor explained, "With some training, I think you'd make this team stronger."

"Really?" Danielle asked.

"Yes," Trevor deadpanned, "Please don't make this weird."

Lightning flashed across the sky and thunder boomed, getting Tucker's and Sam's attention.

"It's still raining?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, no surprise to me," Danny chuckled, "But… it does make for the perfect horror movie night."

Sam heard snoring and glanced over to her bed, where she saw a large object covered by blankets.

"Wulf?" she asked.

A furry head phase through the blankets and looked at Sam.

"Saluton, amiko," he smiled.

(Hello, friend.)

Wulf phased out of the blankets and stood up, stretching his arms and legs before rolling his shoulders.

"Good to see you safe, Wulf," said Tucker, "Kion vi faros nun?"

(What are you going to do now?)

"Mi venis ĉi tien por kaŝiĝi de la GiW," Wulf explained, "Nun, ke ili kaj Walker foriris, nun estas la tempo por mi foriri."

(I came here to hide from the GiW. Now that they and Walker are gone, now is the time for me to leave.)

"What?" Danielle asked, "You're leaving now?"

"Kiel vi scias Esperanton?" Wulf asked, raising a brow.

(How do you know Esperanto?)

"Danny kaj Trevor instruis min iomete dum vi dormis," Danielle replied.

(Danny and Trevor taught me a little while you were sleeping.)

"Vi lernas rapide," Wulf smiled, "Impressive."

(You learn fast.)

"It was nice seeing you again, Wulf," said Sam, "Ĉi-foje provu resti sen problemo."

(This time try to stay out of trouble.)

Wulf smirked as he walked over to the window and opened it.

"Ĝis venontfoje, amikoj," he smirked over his shoulder.

(Until next time, friends.)

"Later, furball," Danielle teased as Wulf flew off into the storm.

Trevor telekinetically closed the window and yawned.

"Man, I'm exhausted," he sighed.

"I'm sure a good horror movie will perk you up," Sam smiled, "What time is it, anyways?"

"It's almost 6:30," Danny replied, "Downstairs?"

"Downstairs," Tucker and Sam said at the same time.

"Downstairs?" Danielle asked as she followed everyone out of the room.

"You'll see," Trevor smirked.

"Hey, that reminds me," said Sam as she began descended the stairs, "What happened to Walker and his goons?"

Danny glanced over his shoulder, showing his goofy smile.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

Far from Amity Park, the GiW van slowly entered the secure base as the sun was setting in the distance. Operative Alpha was waiting outside the main building as the van stopped before him and Operatives K and O exited the vehicle.

"Operative Alpha, sir!" the two saluted.

"You're late, operatives," Operative Alpha noted.

"Sorry, sir," said Operative K, "Bad weather slowed us down."

"You have the target?" Operative Alpha asked.

"Unfortunately, sir, the target escaped," Operative O reported.

"However, we recovered something better," Operative K added, "Operatives L and M are in the back with the targets."

"You better not disappoint me again," Operative Alpha noted as he followed the two to the back of the van.

The doors opened, revealing a horde of ghosts tied up and crammed in the small space of the van. Operatives L and M were beginning to regain consciousness as Operative Alpha turned to the confused Operatives K and O.

"I'm impressed," Operative Alpha, "I'll be expecting a full report soon."

"Uh… yes, sir!" the operatives exclaimed.

"Don't think we'll be here long, punks," Walker growled as he, Bullet, and the ghost guards struggled in the binds.

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

"Aiiiggghh!" a young woman screamed as a monster approached her.

Danny, Tucker, and Sam were sitting in the theater chairs, with Danielle sitting on the arm of Danny's seat and Trevor was leaning against the wall. Everyone had pizza in their hands as the horror movie ran on the big screen.

"I never knew you were rich, Sam," said Danielle.

"Yeah, well, it's not like I actually care about the money," Sam shrugged, "But it does have its benefits."

"Had I known you had a home theater here, I wouldn't have left before," Danielle smirked before realizing what she said.

"Speaking of which…" Danny began, "I think it's time you actually stuck around for a while."

"Huh?" Dani exclaimed, "What do you mean?"

"Well, you said it yourself, traveling has gotten stale," Danny explained, "Why not live at the Fenton Works with me and my parents?"

"Well… I dunno…" Danielle sighed.

"At least you won't have to sleep outside or starve yourself," Danny added.

Danielle glanced around, noting the smiles from Tucker and Sam and the nod from Trevor.

"Well?" Danny asked.

"Oh, alright," Danielle smiled, "It would be a nice change in pace for me. And I would get to spend more time with my… cousin…"

"Or big brother?" Danny asked, noticing Danielle's face lowering.

"Really!?" Danielle exclaimed, "You… you don't mind me calling you my big brother?"

"Why not?" Danny laughed, "We already look alike."

"Funny," Danielle said as she tapped her chin, "If you had an older brother, we'd be just like Trevor's family… oops."

Her eyes widened as she slapped her hands over her mouth, hoping no one heard. Unfortunately, everyone slowly turned their attention to Trevor, who looked at Danielle as though he had been stabbed in the back.

"Trevor?" Tucker asked, "What is she-?"

Trevor held up a hand, silencing Tucker and any other possible questions.

"Yes…" he replied, "I had a little sister."

"Had?" Sam asked, "What-?"

"She's dead," Trevor revealed, "Almost four years. Nothing else to talk about. Don't ever ask and please respect my wishes."

A few seconds passed before everyone nodded to Trevor's demands.

"Sorry," Danielle said a few moments later.

"It's… fine," Trevor sighed, "Just… don't bring it up again."

Another scream from the movie got Danielle's attention and everyone went back to focusing on the movie, except Trevor, who reached back and pulled out his photo.

"I won't let you down," he whispered as he glanced at it, "I promise."

He was surprised when he felt a nudge on his arm and saw Sam offering him a slice of meat and a slice of veggie pizza. He put the photo away and took the plate from her.

"Thanks, Sam," he replied with a small smile.

"Don't worry," she told him, "You won't fail."

Sam made her way back to her seat, chuckling as she watched Danny and Tucker argue over who gets that last slice of meat pizza. Danielle reached over and swiped it away without them knowing and took a bite as she sat down in Danny's seat.

It was late morning in Amity Park; the storm had finally left, leaving the city covered in puddles and fresh greens growing everywhere. In the Fenton Works, an exhausted Jack and Maddie were sitting in the living room, staring at the blank screen in front of them.

"We have to call her eventually," said Jack.

"I know," Maddie sighed before she took a deep breath, "Okay. Let's get this over with."

She reached over dialed Jazz's number, waiting anxiously as the phone rang. The screen blinked to life and Jazz's image appeared on screen.

"Oh, hey," said Jazz, "I was just about to call you guys. Perfect timing."

"Jazz, honey," said Maddie, "There's something we need to tell you."

"One second, mom," said Jazz as she reached under her desk, "Let me just grab my financial documents and we'll get started."

"Actually, that's what your father and I wanted to- wait, what?" Maddie asked.

Jazz held up a couple of documents and laid them out on the desk. She looked at her parents and raised an eyebrow when she saw the perplexed expression on their faces.

"What?" she asked.

"You have your financials!?" Maddie exclaimed.

"Yeah…" Jazz replied, "I've had them with me the whole time. Why?"

"We've been searching all night for the documents here!" Jack exclaimed, "We were certain we lost them!"

"Really? Hmm…" Jazz replied, glancing away and tapping her chin, "Oh, now I remember! I forgot to make copies of these documents and leave them with you before I left!"

Jack and Maddie sighed in relief.

"Sorry, that was my bad," Jazz smiled in embarrassment, "I'll make scan them and email you them later. You two must have freaked out over it."

"Oh, that's just silly, Jasmine," Maddie smiled as she turned to her husband, "Your father and I handled it very well. We were worried, of course, but we didn't freak out. Right, Jack?"

Jack was practically pulling his face down with his hands as he groaned in annoyance.

"See?" Maddie asked Jazz, "Perfectly fine."

"Right," Jazz smirked.

On Jazz's end, the sound of a door opening and faint talking occurred, getting Jazz's attention.

"Huh?" she replied, looking offscreen, "Yeah… Right now? Oh, you're right!"

She turned back to her parents with another embarrassed smile.

"Sorry, but I have to go," she told them, "A couple of my classmates are having a review session right now and I don't want to miss it. We'll talk about this later, okay?"

"That's not a problem, Jazz," said Maddie, "You do what you need to do."

"Thanks, mom," said Jazz, "Love you both. Bye!"

As the screen turned off, Jack and Maddie looked at one another for a moment before they burst into laughter. At that moment, Danny and Danielle came in through the front door and wondered what the older Fentons were laughing about.

"Um, mom? Dad?" Danny asked, "Are you two alright?"

Jack and Maddie calmed down and turned to their son.

"Oh, morning, Danny," said Maddie, "Your father and I are fine. Just some silly overreaction."

"Yeah," Jack sighed as he wiped a tear from his eye.

The two Fentons then noticed Danielle stepping from behind Danny.

"Danielle!" they exclaimed as the young half-ghost made her way over to them and gave them a hug, "Welcome back."

"Thanks," she smiled, "It's good to be back."

"How ya doin', kiddo?" Jack asked, "Been seeing places?"

"Uh… you could say that," Danielle replied nervously.

"When did you get back?" Maddie asked.

"Yesterday," Danielle replied as she back up a couple steps, "I hung out with Danny and we spent the night at Sam's."

"I hope her parents weren't too hard on you," said Maddie.

"They weren't," said Danny, "Can't say they were happy that their daughter was friends with another Fenton."

"Hey, if you don't mind, I'd like to shower now," said Danielle, "I feel kinda gross."

"Go ahead," said Danny, "I'll talk to my parents about that."

"Thanks, Danny," said Danielle, giving him a brief hug before making her way upstairs, "I get the feeling it won't take long."

"Is there something you'd like to talk about?" Jack asked.

"Yeah," Danny replied as he made his way over to his parents, "I was thinking… how would you guys feel about Danielle living with us from now on?"

Danielle walked into the bathroom and closed the door. She leaned against the door as she sighed and her face fell.

"What am I going to do?" she asked herself quietly.

She walked over to the sink and looked herself in the mirror.

"You can't tell them," she told her reflection, "They can't know the truth… yeah, that's what I'll do. I won't tell them. Why complicate things?"

She chuckled to herself before she sighed and hung her head.

"Heh… I do look like a mess. I should get cleaned up."

She took off her beanie and plopped it on the sink counter.

"Hey, Danielle?" Danny asked, knocking on the door as she was about to take her hoodie off, "Everything alright in there?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Danielle replied, "I'm just about to hit the shower."

"Just wanted to let you know that you are officially living here from now on," Danny announced.

Danielle practically barged through the door and tackled Danny into a hug.

"Thank you, Danny!" she exclaimed, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"You're more than welcome," Danny laughed, "Little sister."

"You're the best," Danielle smiled, "Big brother." ^***

{Notes}

* The Behemoth is the same creature that was guarding the Skeleton Key in the episode "The Million Dollar Ghost".

** No, it's not freezing cold, but it's cold enough for their breath to be visible. Ever gone outside in the early cold morning? Same thing can happen when it's raining and it's cold enough.

*** There is not official name of the anti-ghost weapon, so I just call it the Ecto-Assault Rifle. It's the weapon that Operative K holds in the episode "The Million Dollar Ghost".

**** There is no official name for Bullet's whip-like weapon seen in the episode "Public Enemies". I'm not even sure what the call it yet. Ecto-whip? *Shrug*

^ Reference to the episode "Prisoners of Love".

^* What do ghosts even eat? More ectoplasm? I dunno.

^** Same cell from "Public Enemies".

^*** Yup… Butch Hartman's original idea if the series was ever to continue. Of course, in his idea, Jack and Maddie adopt Danielle as their daughter. We haven't gotten that far yet. Or does it happen at all? *Smirk*

"~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~"

I've got to say, this episode was one of my favorite episodes to write. I'm not gonna lie, I had a dream of that scene recurring for a few days as soon as I finished writing it. And yes, Danielle will now have a larger role from now on. Especially since she's got her own secret. What is it?

Don't ask. Don't even guess in the reviews. I MEAN IT!

I also want to give a big notice on the story and say that it might not be updated for another month or two from now. I've decided to finally get started on that other fanfic I've been working on and I think now's the perfect time to get into writing it. Don't worry, this story isn't on hiatus, and I will still be writing summaries of each episode, but I want to shift my focus on the other one for a little bit.

Please put the pitchforks and torches away.

Like, follow, and please review! And I mean REALLY review. I really want to hear what you guys think of the season so far, and I only have one review as of right now. Until next time!
