Okay folks, when I originally asked this question my answer was going to be when this guy pulled out of his driveway in front of my and I had to stop really fast, but that's been upstaged.
My first time on the highway… I was totally freaking out. I was going a bit below the speed limit, in the slow lane, and I was following this motorcycle gang of like 12 people. Suddenly they started popping wheelies… reminder, ON THE FREEWAY! Talk about distraction. But the worst part is that (it was like slow motion) when the guy in front of me popped one, he slipped and he FELL OFF! I screamed, slammed on the brakes and changed lanes so I didn't hit him. It was close. I nearly broke my neck.
Everyone behind me stopped to see if he was okay, but my dad told me to just keep going. I felt really bad, but the guy was able to get up and get his motorcycle to the other side of the road so he was okay, if he didn't go in to shock. Yeah, I haven't drove since then, but it was only three days ago.
Chapter 14 \o/
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Danny was bored. Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored. There was nothing, and I mean NOTHING for him to do in the dark infinity. So he just did what Clockwork told him. He walked against the wind. For some reason it had gotten stronger. Whenever he wasn't walking, he was resting, even if he didn't need to. In this place he never got hungry or sleepy but boy did he ever get bored.
Trust me, Danny had already tried goin' ghost. Why walk when you can fly? But for some reason his appearance didn't change, and he can do only so many things in his Fenton form. Flying was not one of them. Oh yeah, did I mention that Danny was bored?
But when boys have nothing else that could possibly distract them, they think. And Danny was deep in thought as he walked forward. The question he was currently trying to solve was what the heck was going on? He shook his head. He didn't know.
He thought back to the battle, and the glowing dagger. He knew that it wasn't normal and he knew that something was wrong. What was wrong? He didn't know, but he would bet his life it was the reason he was in a coma, or half of his life that is.
Well if he was in a coma what was he doing here? He could only guess. So far, he had guessed this. He wasn't fully there. His ghost half is the one that suffered the blow, and it was his ghost half that needed to be healed. So… this was only his only conscious Fenton half. He guessed that the dagger was spiked with something that affected ghosts more than humans. Maybe even cast the ghost in to oblivion, but it went screwy because he was half human.
He sighed, and looked down to where the battle wound. It didn't look like a cut anymore, but it was glowing a sickly green color. That's how he guessed the dagger was poisoned. He stopped, stretched, and kept walking. He hated this guessing game.
Why couldn't Clockwork just tell him what was going on? He should have followed him until he reappeared again and demanded some answers. And why did he say to 'go against the wind' and right after turn around himself and go with it? Was Clockwork's goal in after life to confuse him?
'Don't say that' Danny thought. Clockwork has done nothing but help him, so far. He wouldn't advise him to do anything unless in was important… so why was going against the wind so important? Right then Danny noticed the wind pick up a bit, and at that same moment he felt like he needed a rest. He stopped walking for a bit. The wind was no longer just blowing his hair around; it was now a colder wind that seemed to be a bit stronger. He didn't stop long though and he started walking again, trying to pick up his previous train of thought.
Just then, the wind picked up another notch. Danny started to really feel drained and dizzy and quickly sat down. Soon it wore off though, but he felt more tired then he used to. 'That was strange' He thought. What was wrong with him? Then another question popped in his head. Was the wind somehow causing this?
He was starting to like this 'space between life and death' less and less. He got up again, determined to show the place that Danny Fenton was no weakling, and kept up his marathon. The wind was getting stronger little by little. Soon it was starting to feel like if you fell in to it, you would hover for a moment. Danny was getting exhausted. It wasn't like walking was taking all of the energy from him… something else was.
He looked down at the cut and saw it was glowing a brighter green. Danny scowled and kept walking, still deep in thought. He started putting things together.
He was in a limbo of life or death, Clockwork told him to go against the wind, probably to help him pull through, but right after he went the other way. Where did it lead? He probably went back to the Ghost Zone… but if he passed through to the Ghost Zone, he would probably have to be dead. This realization hit Danny like a ton of bricks. Clockwork could go that way because that was the gateway to death and he was already dead… and Clockwork told Danny to go the other way.
And the wind… the wind was pushing him back. Was the wind like an indicator? If it tried pushing him towards the way Clockwork left, that means he was having a harder fight against death. Danny shivered, suddenly cold. He decided that as long as the wind didn't pick him up off his feet, he would fight against it. The wind picked up a little again and he felt more fatigue. He looked down at his abdomen and saw the cut was glowing a bright green now. That's when it hit him. What ever that dagger was spiked with, it was killing him.
-In Fenton Works-
Jazz, Tucker, and Sam gathered around a metallic table in the lab. Jazz had successfully leaded her parents in to believing that there was a ghost attack down by the Nasty Burger so it would take them a while to get down there and figure out it was a hoax.
"Sam, when I hit release, you press that button right after he comes out okay?" Sam nodded, her hand already positioned over a large red button. "Tucker- you… you just stay there." Jazz said.
"What! Why can't I do anything?" He asked annoyed.
"Because when you are under stress you -always- trip over your own feet and fall flat on your face, or something like that. So you have to stay back." Sam said with out taking her eyes of the thermos Jazz had in her hands.
Tucker put his hands on his hips. "I only did that once!" Sam looked wearily over to him. "Okay- twice." Tucker said. Sam just shook her head and looked back at Jazz.
"Okay on the count of three." She said, now pointing the thermos directly at the table, arms length away. "One…" Sam stared at the opening of the thermos intently. "Two…" Jazz put her finger over the release button, "Three!" Jazz pressed release and Death Toll fell down onto the table. Sam pressed the large red button and glowing blue rings strapped themselves around the arms and feet of the ghost.
Death Toll growled up at them, once realizing the situation he was in. He tried to phase out of the chains but nothing happened.
"What did you do?" He hissed up at them.
Sam glared down at, "The chains short out your powers to escape, basically."
Death Toll tried to use his strength to break free but it was futile.
"Like I said there's no escape. Now you're going to give us what we want. There's an easy way… or the hard and painful way. You choose."
"What do you want?" Death Toll asked narrowing his eyes.
"The antidote to the stuff on your dagger that poisoned my brother." Jazz stated, glaring right back.
There was a pause, but the ghost suddenly laughed. "So you've figured it out… took you long enough. What makes you think I'll give it to you?"
"We have other ways of getting it… I think it would just be easer if you just told us though." Tucker said, getting tired of standing in the corner.
"Why should I? With that pesky ghost boy on his death bed—when I escape I will rule the world!" He said, forgetting about the three pissed off teens around him.
"I say he missed the exit for the easy route… Now lets torture the information out of him!" Sam said, fire in her eyes as she charged up a rather large ecto-gun.
"Sam!" Jazz said, taking the gun away from her. "That's not going to get us any closer to figuring out where the antidote is!"
"BUT HE'S THE REASON DANNY'S IN THE HOSPITAL IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Sam yelled.
"I know Sam, I know, but that's not going to do anything. But this-" She said grabbing tweezers out of pocket, "-is." She bent over Death Toll and plucked one of his chest hairs.
"Ow! Why did you do that?" Death Toll cried. Jazz walked over to the Specter Speeder and replied, "Like I said, that was the hard and painful way." She pressed a button.
A little black surface appeared and it said, "Ghost DNA table activated. Please put specimen on surface." Jazz did as she was told and the surface automatically slid back to its original position. A green light flashed through the cracks and the machine did several dial up noises. Then suddenly it beeped and it said, "Ghost layer found."
Jazz smiled, "I bet that's where we can find the antidote," she said as she sat down in the drivers seat. "C'mon, the sooner we go, the better for Danny."
Sam quickly stepped in to the Specter Speeder. "Tuck- you stay here and keep an eye on him. We'll be back here as soon as we can."
"Yeah… and if my mom and dad come home… hide." Jazz said, buckling her seatbelt.
"Wait! That's not-" Sam waved and closed the door behind her as the engines fired up, "-fair." Tucker finished as they blasted into the Ghost Zone. Tucker crossed his arms and stuck out his lip pouting.
Jazz and Sam plunged in to the ghost zone. Jazz looked around, completely off task. "Wow… this is… amazing!" She said breathlessly. Sam just nodded. Jazz didn't say anything for a while and Sam was getting ready to set them back on track but the Specter Speeder did it for her.
"Please proceed to the highlighted route, then guidance will start." Jazz looked down at the GPS looking thing and it told her to keep going straight. Then there was a 'ding!'
"Turn left in half a mile." It said. Jazz looked down to see the estimated time… thirty minutes. That means that it would take an hour round trip… not including looking for the cure. Jazz sighed. Suddenly the Ghost Zone lost some glory but she still looked around curiously as she sped up.
-Back at Fenton Works-
Tucker glanced back over his shoulder at the ghost that had caused all of his latest stress and worry. He was still pinned to the table looking bored. Tucker scowled and sat on a chair across the lab from him. After a moment Death Toll asked, "So how is your little friend doing?"
"Good. He is definitely going to live so HA!" Tucker snapped.
"Are you sure about that?" Death Toll asked finally looking over to him.
Tucker shifted in his seat. "Well- he will as soon as they get that cure... he will be fine." Death Toll laughed at this. Tucker glared over at him.
"But when he wakes up… you'll wish that he--- didn't." Tucker said in his best threatening tone.
Death Toll smiled and said, "Would your little ghost friend really hit me while I'm chained to a table?"
Tucker just glared at him. "So far no other ghost has ever gone this far, with out a reality gauntlet that is." He stated.
"So your saying that he would?" He said, his face never changing.
"I'm saying that I don't know. But if he wanted my input, I would say go for it." Tucker said not liking the way Death Toll was smiling.
"Well then… we can't have that happen can we?" He said, closing his eyes and concentrating.
Tucker looked over at him warily, "What do you mean by that?" He said. Suddenly Death Toll whistled, but it sounded different then a normal whistle. He held the note for a moment, but then stopped. The noise echoed eerily around the room.
"Okay…" Tucker said, looking at him as if he had sprouted an extra head. "Why did you do that?"
"Oh I don't know." Death Toll said coolly. "I could just be getting bored strapped to this table or…" he said trailing off.
"Or what?" Tucker said felling like the convocation was going nowhere. Suddenly two ghosts flew out of the portal and shot an ectoplasmic beam at Tucker. He didn't see it until it was too late. The shot hit him in the chest and he was sent flying backwards. He hit his head against the wall with a sickening crack, and then slumped to the floor, unconscious.
Death Toll smiled and said, "Or I could be calling my minions to come free me." One of the plumb blue ghosts pressed the button to power down the cuffs holding him against the table, while the other one helped him up. Death Toll just smacked him away. "Now then… lets get started shall we?" He said and started laughing.
