AHHHHH! Band camp tomorrow! A week of three-a-days with my fellow band geeks! (Cross over to the dork side! Ha, you'll see this laterin my Danny Phantom story! It fits perfectly!) Anywho, that means that I will disappear for a week at least, depends on the practice schedule. (We were 10th in the state last year, we have a lot to live up to!) Also, I FINALLY, after three years, updated my Pirates story 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Battle for Port Royal'. It is the first story I posted on ff, but it's worth reading! Please read!

Chapter 4:

Revenge of the Clown Ghost

Suddenly, Danny's cell phone rang. He looked at the name displayed on the screen. "Tucker?" He answered it quickly. "Tucker!"

"Danny, where are you! That clown ghost is back! You said you were coming and now would be a good time to get your butt over here!"

Danny heard a loud crash in the background.

"Tucker, what's happening! Hello?" The sounds suddenly stopped and the line was silent.

Danny turned to Kyla. "I hope you were listening 'cause it's time for you to make your first appearance."

Sam had her back to a wall. A giant balloon bear was advancing on her. "Tucker! Do something!"

Tucker struggled against the coils of a balloon snake. "Do I look like I can do anything? Besides…I…already called…Danny!" He said as the snake squeezed him tighter.

Other shoppers ran in fear as other balloon animals chased them.

Danny and Kyla dropped through the skylights as the chaos ensued below them. "I don't get it!" Danny exclaimed. "How did he escape from the ghost zone!"

Sam looked up and spotted them. "DANNY!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Danny flew straight for the bear, blasting it with a ghost ray. Kyla followed his lead. The bear roared and swatted at its attackers.

Danny flew around behind it and aimed a ghost ray at its head. The bear roared and exploded. "Good thing I know how this works." He said.

Sam threw the Fenton Thermos to Danny. "Here! Maybe if you capture the clown, these things will disappear!"

Danny caught it and flew toward the clown "Alright! You and your party favors are going down!"

The clown laughed. "It won't be that easy!" He shot several disk-shaped ghost rays at Danny. One blew the thermos out of his hand; another knocked him to the ground.

The balloon snake released its hold on Tucker and wrapped itself around Danny.

Kyla was unsure of what to do.

"Get the thermos!" Danny shouted to her.

She dove toward the ground, white hair streaming behind her. She had to help Danny, Tucker, and Sam! She scooped up the container and took off again, dodging a ray from the clown, then landing behind it. "Hey clown! The circus pulled out yesterday!" She slammed her thumb down on the green button. The clown was sucked into the thermos by a blinding blue ray. The balloon animals vanished with the capture of their creator.

Kyla sank to her knees, letting the Fenton Thermos roll from her hand. Danny picked it up. "Intense, huh?"

Kyla nodded. "I can't believe I did that…"

Sam and Tucker curiously approached them.

"Hey! You got another sidekick? I thought I was your sidekick!" Tucker said.

"Tucker!" Sam said.

"She's more of a partner." Danny said.

Sam looked at him suspiciously.

"Look, I'll explain later, okay?"


Danny found a place where they couldn't be seen and returned to their normal states.

"Wait here." He told her. "We can't be obvious." He walked away.

Sam and Tucker jumped on him with questions about the new ghost kid.

Danny led them to where Kyla was waiting. "I could answer your questions, but why don't you ask Shadow herself?"

Sam and Tucker's jaws hit the floor. "Kyla!" They exclaimed.

Sam turned to Danny. "I thought your parents said she would be fine!"

"Apparently, getting hit with both of those high-power ghost rays had the same effect as the zap I got from the ghost portal. She's half ghost, just like me and Vlad Plasmius." He said.

"I love the name!" Tucker said. "And you got skill!" He tried to high-five her, but was blown back by a ghost ray on contact.

Danny and Sam laughed.

"You'd think I would have learned after the first two times." Tucker said.

Danny helped him up.

"Hope no one saw that." Sam said with concern. "We can't have people finding out who you really are. Especially Vlad."

"I'll show her how to keep her powers in check." Danny assured her.

"Well, I should probably get going before Dad gets worried. " Kyla said. She waved to Danny and headed for the doors.
