Hellbreaker, cause HE would be the only one to look for it there. Jack-ogic.
"Nice, fresh fuel," Ember said as the pair of ghosts walked in with Tucker. The dark skinned male took a good look around at all the adults running or biking on exercise equipment. "Strap the geezer in while I keep this group motivated." She turned from Tucker while playing a song on her guitar. Around her were several ghosts, including Youngblood and his bird companion. It didn't take long to get Tucker placed on a bike, luckily close to where his own parents were. The music played loudly around them, the engines flaring up with the addition of Tucker's pedaling.
"Mom, dad," he hissed glancing at them out of the corner of his eye. "It's me, Tucker. You guys are under a spell...and looking really trim. Maybe you guys should exercise more often." Becoming serious he looked away from his parents and looked around again. "Now, if I were a ghost shield, where would I be?" It took only moments for him to spot it next to the large engine.
"Ship ahoy!" came Youngblood's voice over the speakers, his words stopping Ember in her tracks. As she stuck her head up thru the trap door she found her face full of skeleton, the pirates rushing from the deck toward safety as a ship rushed at them. As the ship got closer she could see Danny behind the wheel looking rather confident as his school peers waited for the moment to strike.
As soon as they were close enough Danny called out, "Hit'em!" Star took that cue to scratch the record while Sam stood by for her moment. As the signal hit the shield it pushed them back, the cried of the skeletons echoing in the night skies. As Youngblood called out for a counter strike Danny pushed another button, a rounded shield of metal coming out around the bottom of their blimp.
The blasts ricocheted off the bottom of it as Danny moved the ship over the other one, the metal shield crushing the mast of the ship as well as sending Ember and her kid companion running. They weren't fast enough though as the ship's sails landed on them with a loud crash. Youngblood cut his way out with his hook, his green eyes flashing in anger as he yelled at the teens to stop.
Inside the ship Tucker crept around a corner, his eyes flickering back and forth before putting a code into the generator. "Sixty seconds until shut down of ghost shield," he stated before looking up at the ceiling. He knew his friends could do it. They could take down the ship and its occupants.
59...58...
The teens stood gathered on top of the blimp, all of them ready to fight.
57...56...
With a command from Danny the teens extended the Jack O'nine tales toward the ship, their hooks hitting and connecting to the part of the mast that was still up. They swung forward like modern Tarzans, all of them breaking thru the ghost shield with little issue. Sam swung behind Danny, her apprehension obvious, but when she too was easily able to crash thru and onto the ship she smirked.
"Time to go ghost," she muttered with a quick glance around her. Danny watched horror though as she let out a cry of pain before falling to her knees.
55...54...53...
He was quick to hunch down next to her, his hands on her back in comfort.
"I can't change," she whispered just as Dash jumped in front of him, his Jack O'nine tails striking a group of pirates that had been ready to attack the former halfa and the current halfa. A few feet from him was Star, the small blonde with her weapon, a long stick with two tips of metal cylinders at the end.
"Who hates pirates? Yes, we do! We hate pirates! How about you?" With each word was a kick or flip as she knocked out pirate after pirate.
49...48...47...
"Wow," Sam and Danny said in unison, amazement in their voices. With a smirk they took off together, Danny wielding a different weapon than the Goth halfa. Dash called out to them from a few feet away, the jock having little issue keeping the pirates off him.
"Fenton! You are a hero." The former halfa smiling until Dash continued. "Tomorrow, when I wail on you, I will be wailing on a hero." Sam let out a sigh. She wanted to clobber him when he said shit like that and at the same time the look on Danny's face as he too realized that Dash was a real douche. Shrugging it off he and Sam moved thru the fighting, Sam rushing ahead of him while the male beside her looked back, Paulina hollering something.
43...42...41...
Now Danny moved past her, his body moving easily on a skateboard. He knocked down pirate after pirate until a sound vibe came swirling thru the air. It struck him down, Sam rushing up to him now even as Ember appeared before them. The pirate child next to her looking pleased.
"The only one who rocks this boat is me!" With a strike of her guitar chords heralded another vibe of pink music, a bubble forming around the group, Danny and Sam caught with them. Ember jumped down to stand before the bubble, Youngblood reaching into the bubble as she did. His hook yanking Danny out, Sam attempting to grab her friend back.
35...34...33...
"Time to make ye walk the plank, shark bait." Danny struggled against his foe while Sam looked around for a way to get out of the bubble. Danny wouldn't be safe if he fell from the ship! And she couldn't change into the Phantom with the shield on!
20...19...18...17...16...
Sam watched in horror as Ember and Youngblood walked Danny toward the plank that was being extended by some of the remaining pirates. All the teens around her were glued to what was happening as well, murmurs of unease making her heart sink and her mad all at the same time. They had no faith in their own powers, turning around she began issuing orders of her own, several teens nodding while others looked less than enthusiastic.
Danny was pushed over, his form gone in mere seconds.
3...2...1!
The ghost shield dropped at that moment, the teens scrambling from their spot as a blur of white and black sped forward. Ember was thrown back as several teens rushed at her, most of them her fans from before. Youngblood was also knocked over, but he was pushed aside as more teens rushed at the former idol. Her guitar was thrown with the extra crush of fans, when she pushed the fans aside to grab it she found herself face to face with Danny and...
"How can this be?!" she cried.
"But-t I t-t-thought!" Youngblood stuttered with a look of shock. Sam stood holding the guitar in question, a smirk on her now green lips. Danny stood next to her, the other teens moving to circle them. Ember threw off her hat, her teal hair growing longer like flames of a fire. She aimed them at the teens before her, Danny moving out of the way as Sam took to the air, the teal haired ghost following her. She never left the ground as she continued to blast at Sam, her flames almost striking the now white haired teen, but at the last minute missing and hitting Youngblood's Jolly Roger.
The pirate in question looked upset, his green eyes wide at the destruction of his mark.
"Okay, so maybe not the best idea, but bon voyage kid! See you on my next tour!" She disappeared in a flare of her long teal hair leaving the young pirate kid alone on the deck. Sam stopped when she noticed that there were no more fireballs heading her way, but upon looking down where the former pop idol had been she found a rather furious Youngblood, a large sword protruding from his sleeve where the hook had been. He rushed at her, his anger fueling his fighting as he sliced the guitar in two. Discarding the larger portion left Sam with the stick of the instrument.
The pair landed on the deck of the ship and began to sword fight, the sound of the clashing weapons echoing around them. Taking to the air moments later found them fighting on the mast of the ship about the now flaming Jolly Roger below them as they continued their fight across while others watched down below. It looked like Youngblood had the upper hand as he swiped his blade thru Sam's stomach, until they all realized that it didn't hurt her. She let out a taunting ha as she smirked at him.
That's when the unexpected happened. He changed both his left hand and leg into small cannons which blasted toward her. Jumping back and off the mast she left Youngblood to deal with the flames that he had created. Landing before the group she searched for Danny.
"Look, it's the ghost girl from before!" Dash called out. Paulina just scowled and turned to see Danny walking toward them.
"Good job," he whispered as the group headed for where the adults were being kept. As the door was thrust open with the help of Dash, the group stopped to see all their parents, and Jazz, sitting on bikes and other exercise equipment looking dazed.
"Looks like a PTA health spa," the blond jock joked.
Still on the mast was Youngblood, the small pirate looking down at the crowd of humans rushing out of his ship. He wailed out about the escapees as his parrot pointed out something rather important.
"Who is powering the ship then?" With a cry of horror the ship began to plunge down. As it did Sam called out to everyone to come together. Amazingly enough even Jack and Maddie Fenton clung to the ghost commanding them. Danny clung to her as Dash whispered something to her. He watched as she frowned, a look of disgust coming over her pale face. With a moment to clear her mind she hoped that her plan would work.
The small Goth went intangible, her power circulating out to the group making all intangible. As the ship crashed into the water the group floated down slowly. It was at about six feet till the dock when Sam's energy crashed and so did the group that was with her. As everyone sat up, most came to from their adventure while Sam just watched.
"Where have we been?" Jazz questioned.
"And why do I feel like I have buns of steel?" Jack questioned with a look at his butt. Maddie began to cheer.
"Finally!" Until her husband looked at her in confusion. "I mean, I love you just the way you are." Hugging him close Jazz made a comment while looking sick. She hated when her parents got all touchy feely. Sam rushed behind some barrels and transformed only to come out and see Dash punching on Danny.
"What the hell?" she questioned walking over to them. Dash made a comment about trusting a Fenton before walking off leaving the former halfa confused. That's when Jack noticed that all the students walking away were wearing his orange jumpsuits.
"Danny," he said with a sideways look at his kid. "Were you using the emergency OPs center while we were gone?" Danny had the good grace to blush and ask him why he thought that when the thing in question hoovered down behind him.
"Thanks for letting us use this!" Kwan called with a smile. The former halfa face palmed as his parents glared at him.
The next day found the three teens working to clean up the area where the party had been.
"At least all I got was a month's grounding and I just have to clean up this mess," the raven haired male stated while sweeping up another pop can. Sam smiled as she picked up another plate.
"And you got that awful music off the air too," she said.
"All I got was gas from eating all those Nasty burgers," Tucker complained while tying a bag closed.
"What I never could figure was why Youngblood didn't abandon ship," Danny said. Tucker smiled while pulling out his PDA. He explained to both raven haired teens why the pirate had been unable to leave his ship.
"After we got off I set the shield in reverse so he can't get out." They all chuckled at the idea that one ghost was stuck and could never bother them again. Tucker was proud of himself and Danny and Sam couldn't blame him cause they were proud of him too.
