Welcome back to A Phantom's Wrath. Hopefully, you all are doing well. I think chapter five should be good for anyone who is a Skulker fan. I do enjoy his voice as it is one of the few ghosts, I enjoy on the show. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I hope Chapter five will be very juicy for some of you. Sorry if I was late upon bringing this. Now, onward to the feedback and to Chapter five.

Lioness Deity: Ok, I will

InfiniteReader: ok, I will continue.

Wolfs1999: That might be for the actual show, but I think it was in the episode where Vlad first appeared. He hit a pair of octopus ghosts and remembering them to be the first ghosts he ever fought since becoming a ghost was what I meant. I am probably wrong, I will have to go back to watch the episode again or if anyone that knows the episode that I am talking about.

Aleena Phantom: Well, everyone has fondness for different things.

Darkphantomgamer: Not sure why you are just hearing about it. I guess you can find him in the gray area. Vlad might appear in a future chapter, I am not sure yet. I am still planning on it though. Well, I think they did that because Sam disliked Danny because he took the one of a few qualities that he was special at. Your vote will be noted.

Chapter 5: The Night of the Huntsmen

The greatest hunter in the entire ghost zone was stalking the half ghost that phased inside of the house.

"Ah, what a dump" Skulker smirked as he saw the young boy walking inside of his own home.

He then saw through his binoculars his parents confronting Danny about his whereabouts since they barged into his room to search for him. Skulker saw the boy yell at his parents and went off to eat some dinner.

"Gees, those two are ghost hunters" Skulker noticed the hi-tech weaponry in their basement. "I better keep my distance from them"

"Jack honey can you turn on the ghost generator" Maddie asked her husband to turn it on so no ghosts could get in.

"Ok ok" He goes over to flip the switch on the generator to create a ghost shield to prevent ghosts from coming inside. Skulker made sure to fly inside before the ghost generator was in full affect.

He was sure not to set any alarms as he quickly overshadowed a radio. Jack soon came walking by.

"This is Radio MB Skulker saying buy more beef jerky" the radio said

"I now have the strange craving for beef jerky" Jack pondered "Maddie, I will be right back. I am off to the store to buy some beef jerky"

Jack said before rushing to the car to desire the strange command his radio had told him.

It was the middle of the night for Danny, as he was sneaking down with the Fenton Thermos as he had the ghost from today that he captured. Danny was frightened when he found his dad was asleep on the rocking chair holding some beef jerky. He raised a questionable look as he then focused on sneaking downstairs.

"My beef jerky" Jack snored

XxxX

Danny was about to make it and closed the door. He strolled downstairs seeing the empty basement full of the equipment as Danny opened up the Thermos to release Klemper. The being hugged Danny as he smiled. Skulker appeared from behind him, though he was invisible to them.

"Will you be my friend" Klemper smiled

"For the last and thousandth time, I WILL NOT BE YOUR FRIEND" Danny transformed as he roared and blasted the being away from him as Klemper flew into the ghost zone portal.

Danny smiled as it felt very good to blast his annoyance away.

"Kind of harsh for a ghost boy like you" Skulker laughed

"O no, not another one" Danny searched left and right wondering who was making that voice.

"It is me" Skulker said revealing himself to Danny

"O great, a washing machine as a ghost. I am sorry I don't have any clothes for you" Danny laughed

"O what a comedian" Skulker shook his head as he adjusted his weaponry to the ghost boy.

"Look I have no time for you. I am very tired and I would like my beauty sleep" Danny groaned in irritation.

"I will find you a place to sleep. Let's try my cage" Skulker smirked as he charges at the young ghost boy.

Meanwhile Sam and Tucker were talking on the phone; discussing the recent attitude with their best friend.

"I am sure Danny is just fine" Tucker tried to reassure the Goth girl.

"I don't know Tucker" Sam sighed as she was walking all over the room. "Lately he seems to be out of it. As if he was a different person"

"This is Danny we are talking about" Tucker blankly stated

"Yea, but he has ghost powers now. Don't you think that it could have done something to mess with his mind?" Sam worried

"I am sure Danny is fine. He is just going through some issues" Tucker hesitated as he felt the same concern for her, but knew Danny wouldn't abuse his powers. Danny was a super hero and felt secure that he would make the right decisions.

"Let's go over just to check" Sam announced

"But its night time" Tucker standing up as he refused to go out at night.

"Don't be such a baby, we are just going to check on him" Sam smiled

"You just want to go over there because you like him" Tucker smirked

"I do not and I don't know what you are talking about" Sam said in denial

"Sure you don't" Tucker smiled as he put his coat on and left at the same time Sam snuck out of her window.

After being slammed to a table one hundred times, Danny felt his body couldn't take anymore beatings from this ghost hunter. He was worse than Dash if he wore a knight's armor. Danny flew from one room to the other as he looks at Skulker.

"Is that all you got" Danny said as he was out of breath.

"I have to admit you put up a pretty good fight, ghost child. But, the fun stops here" Skulker glared as he send a blast of ghost energy at Danny.

Danny tried to dodge the blast, yet it managed to knockout Danny to a wall. Danny transformed back into his human half. Skulker merely smirked as he put him in a cage. He stops as he looks at Danny.

"Such a fitting opponent; I wonder what he will say if he finds out there is another half ghost running around. But, where would the fun in that be" Skulker smirked before laying his eyes on two humans. Both being of the same age as the boy he captured.

Sam and Tucker stood there as the saw Skulker scanning them to see if they were like Danny. In disappointment, Skulker shook his head.

"I knew it was too easy to get my hopes up" Skulker said before floating up.

Sam tried to do something before he blasted them away. The greatest hunter in all of the Ghost Zone merely smirked as he floated into the ghost portal letting out an evil laugh.

Tucker stood up as he didn't know what to do. His best friend was taken by some ghost. He looked at his other friend to see what she thought. He was speechless seeing Sam in such a confused state.

To Sam, her life was shattering apart. For the first time, she felt like she was helpless. She looked around as her friend and secret crush was just whisked away into some portal going who knows where. Tucker's fingers snaps her out of her daydream and stood up as she started collection ghost weaponry.

"Sam what are you doing" Tucker asked

"That thing has Danny. We have to do something" She looked down not wanting Tucker to see her face.

"But, we have never taken on something like that before. What exactly are we suppose to do" Tucker asked

"All that we can to save him" Sam told him.

"Sam, wait this is crazy take" Tucker told her as Sam looked at him. He saw her eyes as they weren't filling of tears or hatred. They were full of confidence and rage. Something has taken her best friend and she wasn't going to give up without a fight.

"I don't care about that. He has been taken away. I am not going to forgive myself for that" She started to put on some weaponry in her ankles and wrists. She put on a jet pack and a helmet. "It doesn't matter if you come with me. I am only in there to save Danny"

Tucker looked at Sam as he knew about her crush on Danny. He didn't figure how much she really liked him. This made Tucker feel insecure about himself. He watches Sam smile at him. He then looked upstairs and started to put on the same weaponry Sam did.

"Ready Sam" Tucker said stepping up as he was shaking. He looked at the ghost portal then at her.

"I am more than ready" She glared at the portal

Without any hesitation in her mind, Sam leaped inside the portal and was ready to save her best friend.

Well that's the end of the chapter for now. What did you all think? Danny being captured was apart of the plan, Sam and Tucker being involved in this chapter wasn't. Something last minute I thought to myself. So leave your comments below and tell me your thoughts for the next chapter. Until then, see you later.
