Okay, my ghost story… this might get long, sorry guys. It was our first year in out new house and I was 6 or 7. I forgot the date exactly but my parents were looking though "The History of… uhh the lake we live on…" if I said it you guys would know where to find me and I am scared of creepy people kidnapping me, but anywho, it turned out a boat cruise had sank right outside of our house 100 years ago and it was the 100th year anniversary that day. Half of the people died from the fire on board or something…
First thing that was weird was I found my mom's ear rings she lost when she was 18 behind my dresser… we weren't even living in the state we live in when she was 18. Then after it got dark and I went to bed, the CD player in my room randomly turned on to a classical music station with the bass all screwed up and stuff. That freaked me out, but I was able to run across the room to turn it off and jump back under my covers in less that a second.
Then I realized I had to go to the bathroom, so I hopped out of my bed and ran there, except when I got there I heard this clanking in there, so I thought my mom was in there or something, so I opened the door and the lights were already on and we used to have shells decorating our bathroom, and they were all floating there in midair, like 4 of them. I froze, I couldn't even scream. Suddenly they all dropped and some of them shattered. Then I screamed and ran to my parent's room.
Now every year on that date a ghost appears at midnight. One time my friends and I were playing video games and suddenly one of my friends scream. We all whirl around and we see a white glair in the middle of the room. I thought it was my eyes adjusting, but when they did adjust I saw an old woman, she was dressed in a apron and a dress with some sort of printing on them, she looked see through and white. When we all screamed, she disappeared. That's how we met Sally. That's what we call her. I've seen her a few times since then, but I am sort of used to her now. One time I just stared at her, frozen, but she just wandered around for a few minutes, but then she saw me and disappeared again. The boat sank on July 13 or something. I was at a sleep over this year, so I didn't see her. I think it's kind of cool, once you get over being scared of her.
And I swear I am not lying, or exaggerating!
Chapter 15
-At the hospital-
The nurse led Lancer down the dreaded hall way to Danny's room. He wasn't quite as nervous as Sam, Tucker, or Jazz… probably because he had seen people in a coma in his past, like his mother for instance. She was in a head on collusion with a semi and went in to a coma for five years, just to be taken off life support in the end. He hoped to God that wouldn't be the case with Danny.
The nurse stopped at a door and said, "This is the room sir." Lancer thanked her and quietly went in. He walked across the room and to stood at the edge of Danny's bed. Danny looked in pretty good shape, maybe a little pale, but over all fine. Lancer sat down in one of the three chairs that were already pulled up to the bed. He guessed that Miss Fenton, Miss Manson, and Mr. Foley had already come and gone. Why they had gone so early, who knows, but at least he had some time to harness some of the thoughts bouncing around the inside of his scull.
Danny Fenton was Danny Phantom. The hair was in the same stile, the face was the same, the body structure was the same, the voice was the same… if Danny decided to, he could die his hair white and put in green contacts and poof! He would be his alter ego without even transforming. How could he not notice?
Jumping from physical similarities to mental Lancer had some trouble. Phantom was brave, strong, maybe even a little cocky while Fenton was supposedly weak, shy, and clumsy. Maybe that's why he didn't notice… he only knew one side of Danny.
He would never imagine that the Danny he knew went out everyday to fight ghost and help people… and for no personal gain. You don't see many people like that in today's society. It was an honorable trait, yet the city treated Phantom like scum and Fenton was considered a loser.
Beneath it all though, Danny was just a normal teenager, trying to fit in, struggling with girls –coughSamcough-, and making sure to keep his grades above a C, with the occasional ghost fight thrown in here and there… okay he wasn't all normal but that didn't mean he didn't want to be treated normal.
Lancer decided that if Danny woke up, he would treat him the same… mostly. Next time he caught Dash bulling him, he would give fair punishment, and maybe he wouldn't be so strict for his lateness. He could grade his tests a bit easer too… maybe cut down the homework… okay Lancer owed his student his life, so this was to be expected.
Suddenly he snapped out of his daze, remembering the reason why he was even there in the first place. Lancer looked at Danny's face. He looked peaceful. After a moment Lancer said, "Thank you Danny." He said putting a hand on Danny's shoulder and squeezing it gently. "I couldn't possibly express how thankful I am. I owe you my life."
That was all Lancer had come for in the beginning, just to say thanks, but he knew that in the end he needed to visit him. He felt like he owed it to him. Lancer turned to leave. He got to the door and was turning the handle when he remembered he forgotten something. He quickly jogged back over to the Danny's bed. He reached in to his coat pocket, pulled out several get well soon cards, and set them all on Danny's dresser. They were all from people that were in Starbucks, but there was only fifteen. The other five said they would visit him in person. "Get better soon." He said sincerely. Then he walked back out, closing the door behind him.
-The Ghost Zone-
"You've arrived at your destination." The voice said. Jazz and Sam looked up at a rather large door. It was black, wooden and two pieces of metal were bolted down in an X in front of it. Instead of a door knob there was a handle to open it.
"Here we go…" Jazz said and just phased through the door. What greeted their eyes was what looked like some sort of medieval torture chamber with a twist of a science lab to it. Jazz looked at all of the vials of different glowing liquids, and groaned.
"How are we going to figure out which one is the antidote?" Sam asked. Jazz just shook her head. She looked around again. There were some weapons on the wall, the majority of them guns, but there were also swords and knives. There seemed to be a few missing.
There were torches shedding flickering light on the wall and it made the room look creepy. There was a table in the middle of the room bearing all the different experiments, and there were scorch marks on the table showing where some experiments had gone wrong. She glanced over to the other side of the room and there were skeletons chained to the wall. She decided this Death Toll character was someone she didn't want to get to know personally.
She turned back to Sam and was about to ask her what she thought they should do when she screamed, looking at something behind her. Jazz whipped back around to see what caused it but all she saw was the skeleton wall. "What is it?" Jazz asked urgently. Sam looked closely at one of the skeletons.
"Sorry, I'm just a little jumpy… but I could have sworn I saw one of them move." Jazz looked again, but they seemed dead as ever to her.
"Okay, we'll worry about that later, but what do you think we should do? Just take all of--"
Sam jumped again and yelled, "THE SECOND ONE TO THE RIGHT JUST MOVED AGAIN!" Jazz whirled around, but once again they were all unmoving.
"Sam…. are you feeling alright?" Jazz asked. Sam didn't say anything, but just looked intently at the second skeleton to the right. "Okay look," Jazz said and drove the Speeder over the wall. "He is dead, now I say we just take all of the concoctions and get out of here fast; this place is making my skin crawl…"
"YES! SOMEONE IS FINALLY HERE TO RESCUE ME!" The skeleton yelled coming to life. Sam and Jazz screamed. Jazz's instincts kicked in and she threw the Speeder in to reverse and pressed the petal all of the way down in her haste to get away, screaming all of the way. Sam was had to hold on to her seat for dear life as they shot in to the other room. When they finally stopped it was pitch dark. Sam and Jazz blinked, both breathing as if they had run a marathon.
"What did he say?" Sam asked, putting her hand to her chest as if it would slow her heart rate down.
"I don't know, my brain wasn't functioning properly out there." Jazz said still breathing heavy. Then something else distracted them, a rather loud snort. Jazz and Sam both froze up again.
Jazz slowly turned the Speeder around and reached out to turn on the headlights. What they saw was a very hairy post that looked twice the size of a small car. Jazz slowly backed up to see what it was. What they saw first was three of the same kind of posts, and they all were connected to feet as big as a semi with claws the size of a car. Jazz sped up a little in reverse to see what it could be. As soon as they got to the fourth arm Jazz paled greatly.
"I think that we have bigger, and I mean MUCH bigger problems to worry about…" Sam said. Jazz finally was able to look up at the head, her neck craning up to see it. It had three eyes and its mouth couldn't even close with all of the razor sharp teeth in it. All and all it was a two-story monster. It was also chained to the wall and luckily it was sleeping. "Don't wake him up!" Sam whispered, horrified. Jazz crept out the Speeder slowly, careful not to wake it. As soon as they got back in to the other room they both let out a breath they didn't even know they were holding.
"Good! I thought you guys were just going to leave me here!" The skeleton cried. Jazz and Sam didn't see him as much of a threat now they had seen what was in the other room.
"What was that thing?" Sam asked the skeleton pointing over her shoulder.
"That? That is my Master's secret weapon. He said as soon as he got rid of the Ghost Boy he would set it loose on the city. Well I haven't seen him in a few days so I think the attack didn't go as planned…"
Jazz nodded, "Yeah, we've got him locked up right now." The skeleton seemed overjoyed by this, but he didn't say anything.
"So ya guys going to free me or not?" The ghost asked as if it was a joking matter.
"Uh okay, sure… wait a minute! Have you seen Death Toll working on something over there?" Sam asked motioning towards the table filled with vials.
"Well he normally is always working on something or another over there, but he was working on something right before he left…" He replied.
"If we let you go, can you show us which ones?" Jazz asked, catching on to what Sam was trying to accomplish. The skeleton nodded.
Jazz shot two carefully aimed ectoplasmic blasts at the chains, and they were immediately destroyed. The skeleton dropped to the floor. He rubbed his wrists tenderly and then looked up at Jazz and Sam. For a second he said nothing, but suddenly, "I'M FREE! WOOOOO HOOOOO!" He yelled running around in little circles. Then he ran up and hugged the glass of the Speeder. "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!"
"Okay! That's enough! Can you just go and get the stuff?" Sam nearly yelled, starting to get annoyed. The skeleton immediately stepped back and said, "Oh yeah… sorry… It's just the first time I've been free in three hundred and sixty-four years." He walked over to the table and looked around. "Umm… it's around here somewhere… aha!" He said picking up a large tube.
A mechanical arm popped out of the Speeder and grabbed it from him, and then it was pulled back in to where Sam and Jazz sat. Sam looked at the label, it read, GHOST'S ENERGY EXTRACTOR. That didn't sound healthy… she looked inside and noticed there was only a few drops left. It had used before… she guessed it was on the dagger and it poisoned Danny.
"Uh… is there something else?" She asked.
The thought for a second and said, "Oh yeah! Let me see here," He said and started rummaging around again. Then with another "Aha!" He pulled out a small vile of something pink. He gave it to the mechanical arm. Jazz took it this time and read the small print. It said, "Antidote to Ghost Energy Extractor." Jazz looked inside of it, and was happy to see it was full to the brim.
"We've got it!" She yelled.
Sam smiled, "Now let's go back and give it to Danny, the sooner the better," She said.
Jazz fired up the engines and yelled, "Thanks!" Then they blasted out.
"No, thank you!" The skeleton yelled back, pulling open the door and stepping out to freedom. Well— more like falling because he had forgotten that the doors floated. But never less he was free!
Jazz and Sam took five minutes off the trip home because they were flying so fast. They were really excited to wake up Danny. Soon they found their way back through the portal and the scene that greeted them was not good. Sam threw open the door and stopped dead when she saw the table that used to hold Death Toll empty, and Tucker slumped against the wall, unconscious.
"Oh no…" Was all she said, but the two words were enough to send Jazz running to her side. As soon as they got over their shock, they ran over to Tucker.
"Tucker!" Sam said urgently, shaking him. Tucker groaned. "Tucker Death Toll escaped!" Sam exclaimed.
"Why do you have to tell me the bad news right when I wake up?" Tucker moaned, opening his eyes. "Plus I think I already knew that." He said rubbing the bump on his head.
Jazz helped him up. "What happened?" She asked.
"Well, Dr. Evil over there started whistling and I just thought he was going out of his mind, but suddenly these two ghost appear out of the portal! Before I could blink, I was hit with an ectoblast, and that's all I remember." He said now rubbing his behind too.
"Well, we were able to find the cure for Danny, so I say we wake him up and make him solve this mess." Sam said.
"Oh that's considerate of you Sam." Jazz said sarcastically.
"I know," Was all she said, and she practically flew up the stairs.
"Well someone's excided to see Danny…" Tucker observed smiling. "Lets go." He said and also went up the stairs, but a bit slower. Jazz followed behind. Soon they were on their way to the hospital.
-Some alleyway in Amity-
Death Toll looked down at the control panel that was disguised as a wristband. He smiled and looked over at his two minions. "Now for my plan to be put in to action…" He said darkly and pressed a red button. Nothing there happened, but back at Death Toll's hideout chains snapped off of four arms and three legs. Three eyes all blinked open. It roared in triumph… The Monster was now free, and it had its three eyes set on Amity.
