Chapter 5
Later the night the gang arrived in the Op center at the Fenton House.
"How's our guest doing?" asked Jazz,
"She's fine. She's just exhausted from the fight and probably having her body stabilized." said Danny.
"What was she doing there in the first place?" asked Tucker,
"I needed to find a cure." said a tired voice.
They looked to see Danielle struggling to sit up.
"I haven't used my powers since I helped Danny destroy Vlad's lab in the Rockies." said Danielle,
"What?" asked Danny.
"I couldn't use my powers without melting to ectoplasm, remember? The problem was it was getting harder not use it overtime. Its part of me and not being able to use to it was driving me nuts. I had to come back and then I saw Danny flying over to Amity Chemical when I heard this evil laugh.
I saw the entire place explode and then I saw that Xana guy walk right out of the fire smiling and laughing. I followed him and spied on him and Vlad before they caught me at Amity Bridge. I used a voice box and warned Danny that Gordon was not who they thought he was." said Danielle,
"So it was you who called me." said Danny.
"Yeah and then I heard that Xana had a plan to get rid of you and destroy Amity Park. I had to find out but they caught me. I thought Vlad was evil but I looked into Xana's eyes and they just screamed murder." said Danielle,
"That's Xana alright." said Odd.
"Here's a question: Is Xana really gone?" asked Ulrich,
"He used the last of his powers to shock you, Ulrich. Without them he is nothing and river would have had a bad effect on his powers anyway." said Aelita.
"This isn't the first time we thought he was finally gone." said Ulrich,
"Let's stop talking about Xana, all right? It's bad enough he took William with him to the grave." said Yumi.
"I agree, we need to focus on other matters for now." said Aelita,
"Like what?" asked Tucker.
"Like what do about Danielle, here? It will be hard explaining to my parents about this." said Danny,
"We can always hack into the city hall and give Danielle a birth certificate so at least she 'technically' exists." said Ulrich.
"And my dad has relatives in Wisconsin and they haven't spoken in years." said Danny,
"And we can hook her up at Casper High." said Jazz.
Danny then noticed Danielle was a little withdrawn.
"Hey, what's wrong?" asked Danny,
"It's just so sudden and there will be a lot to adjust. I was one the run for the past month and then suddenly I am stabilized. Am I just a mere shadow?" asked Danielle, holding back her tears.
"Don't say that!" said Jazz,
"Yeah, you told Vlad yourself you weren't a clone." said Danny.
"He had it coming." said Danielle,
"By the way, don't use that Ghostly Wail unless it's a last resort. I don't want word out that you are a clone of me." said Danny.
"Sure, Danny." said Danielle, with a sarcastic tone.
"I mean it!" said Danny, with a stern look.
"Okay, okay, I got it." said Danielle, still in a sarcastic tone.
Danny smiled at her.
"Hey, about a race to the Fenton Basement?" asked Danny,
"You're on!" said Danielle.
They changed into their ghost form and flew fast after Danny counted to three.
"I know those two are going to be a great team because they are both kindred spirits." said Jazz,
"Let's just hope they stay that way." said Ulrich.
Somewhere in the Ghost Zone
A video turned on and the news appeared.
"Renowned security officer, Damon Grey, today has revealed with the help of Mayor Vlad Masters a new invention and chemical to be used in the everyday struggle against the invading ghosts. It wasn't long before Damon Grey discovered the chemical which is known as Ecto-Promethium beneficial qualities. It represents a new hope for ghost struggles and everyday combat against . . ."
The TV was blasted by the ecto blast and a large ghost dressed in a white suit with a skull face with green eyes.
"Sending a video about fighting ghosts in my prison is against the rules. This Damon Grey, we now have a problem." said the ghost.
He turned to two chained figures and chuckled.
"We got a fugitive to hunt down." said the ghost.
A few days later
After a while Danielle Fenton was introduced and Maddie allowed her into the guest room. Danny and Jazz said Danielle was Danny's third cousin from Wisconsin and they allowed her to stay. She was admitted to Casper High and her appearance made an impression on everyone. They all thought she was Danny's little sister which was technically true since she was Danny's clone.
Despite the hardships she looked at the ghost gadgets her Uncle Jack made and she and Danny trained to hone their powers. In the Op center the Gang sat around.
"Any trouble with Vlad lately?" asked Ulrich,
"Still nothing. He hasn't done anything except the duties of a mayor since that night on Amity Bridge and with nothing on New Lyoko it's like Xana's really . . . dead." said Aelita.
"We should keep a close eye on him. There's more to this." said Yumi.
A few seconds later a whole lot of images appeared and then blacked out.
"You guys better call Danny and tell him to look at this." said Aelita.
Danny and Danielle appeared in the Op center in a few seconds.
"What's going on?" asked Danny,
"The security system at Axion Labs. I hacked into it to keep an eye on Vlad and the cameras are failing in sequence. Like a blackout traveling from room to room." said Aelita.
"Well, there is one thing you should know and it's that Axion Labs uses heat imaging." said Sam,
"So that's not darkness. That's cold." said Yumi.
"I'll go check it out." said Danny,
"I'm coming too." said Danielle.
"But . . ." said Danny,
"Danny, I can't stay cooped up in this house forever. I need to be out there again." said Danielle.
"All right but be careful." said Danny.
Danielle smirked as they flew out towards Axion Labs. It was night when they arrived and noticed the entrance was blasted open and frozen over.
"If Valerie is here then hide. She'll got nuts and think you're related to me and probably use you to get to me." said Danny,
"Got it." said Dani.
They heard a beep and turned on their intercoms.
"Danny, Aelita found that the facility has almost been entirely evacuated but some guards were flash frozen. They are sealed in blocks of ice but they are still alive. You've got to save them!" said Sam,
"Got it." said Danny.
They nodded and flew towards the entrance. They saw one security guard frozen and blasted the frozen man free of his prison. They blasted the frozen entrance and flew in. Danny looked around and saw one ghost guard patrolling the area and turned invisible.
"That's one of Walker's goons. What's he doing here?" asked Danny,
"Causing trouble?" asked Dani.
"Besides that." said Danny.
Danny quickly flew and punched the guard and pulled out the Fenton Thermos and sucked the guard in. They blasted ice blocking another way into the facility and entered the lobby. They looked at the TV and turned to the door when a voice stopped them.
"Show me Damon Grey or no one gets out of here alive." said a voice.
They looked at the TV on the table and saw Walker's face on the monitor.
"Damon Grey?" asked Dani,
"That's Valerie's dad. What does Walker want with him?" asked Danny.
He turned on the intercom.
"Sam, the guy is freezing Axion Labs is Walker and he's looking for Valerie's dad. Can you find out if Valerie's dad was working on anything?" asked Danny,
"It might not be easy since all personal info on him is restricted but with Tucker and Aelita we can hack into the system and find out." said Sam.
Danny and Dani opened the door and entered the video surveillance room. The room had monitors showing various rooms inside Axion Labs. Suddenly a ghost enforcer appeared in front of them and attacked. Dani flew and charged her ecto bolt before she blasted the guard.
She pulled out her own Fenton Thermos and sucked in the guard. Danny smiled at his 'cousin' and Dani smiled back. Sam's voice entered the intercom.
"Danny, we found something. It looks Damon was working on some kind of Ghost Drug for security measures. That must be what got Walker's attention. We also got a ghost helicopter outside the facility. That is right now all the info we have on Damon." said Sam,
"We'll find out more when we save him from Walker." said Danny.
Danny turned off the intercom and opened the door that led to the next room. It was a of cryogenic tube room with giant glass tubes with freezing liquid inside. This time four ghost enforcers appeared and fired at them. Danny and Dani split up and took two of the ghosts each.
Danny flew up and blasted the ghosts while Dani flew in and kicked the ghosts before sucking them into the Fenton Thermos. They through the wall and entered a storage area. Two ghost enforces were patrolling the area. They nodded and flew at one of ghosts each and knocked them with their ecto bolts.
"This is too easy." said Dani,
"Walker must have found Damon." said Danny.
They noticed several frozen security guards and blasted them free before heading to the next storage area. They entered the room to see three cryogenic tubes with three ghosts enforcers guarding a set of stairs that let up to Damon and Walker! The ghostly jury had his hand on Damon's neck.
"You broke the rules by sending real world items into the Ghost Zone. There may be chaos everywhere in the Ghost Zone and here but in my prison you obey my rules. Why did you send me this video?" asked Walker,
"I don't know what you're talking about." said Damon.
Walker suddenly averted his eyes and saw the two Phantoms.
"Ghost Boy and a relative. Looks like the ghost boy has a younger sister. Get them!" said Walker,
"Why do they think I'm your younger sister?" asked Dani.
"Hey just be glad they didn't call you Inviso-Gal." said Danny.
The three ghost enforcers turned and fired their blasters. Danny and Dani quickly fired back at them and they quickly blocked with their shields. Danny flew and blasted one and knocked another one away. The last one rammed into him with a shield and prepared to fire when Dani blasted him.
She quickly pulled out her Fenton Thermos and sucked them in. They turned to Walker as he pulled out a remote and pushed a button. Out stepped a ghost that made Danny gasp. It was a ghost from Frostbite's tribe.
"Stop them!" said Walker.
The ghost fired ice rays at the two Phantoms as they tried to get close. Dani got to close and she was frozen up to her waist.
"Dani!" said Danny.
Walker used the distraction his advantage and grabbed Damon and threw him onto the ghost helicopter. Danny quickly defrosted Dani and looked to where the helicopter went.
"Sorry, Danny. I should not have gotten so close." said Dani,
"Relax, Dani. We can still catch up to them." said Danny.
Meanwhile Valerie saw her dad getting taken away by Walker and activated her suit to pursue them.
"You're not getting with this ghosts!" she shouted.
The ghostly helicopter flew through Amity Park. Valerie pursued it on her glider and aimed her cannon. The helicopter started firing freeze rays all over and created huge blocks of ice that got in her way. She blasted her way through the blocks and followed the copter and as it dove into a tunnel.
She followed and avoided the cars and trucks that were coming and going. Danny and Dani saw Valerie pursuing Walker's copter and Danny stopped Dani from getting any close.
"Stop, Dani! It's Valerie, if she sees you now she might just blames for her dad's kidnapping. We can't let her know about you yet." said Danny,
"But what about Walker's hostage?" asked Dani.
"Just a wait few seconds." said Danny.
Walker's copter started flying up the highest building in the city and Valerie followed not knowing that is what Walker wanted. An ice block appeared and she rammed right into it. Just as she went through it due to the protection of her suit and an ice beam froze her. Danny and Dani flew to the other side of the building and intercepted the copter now that it was flying over the clouds. Freeze drones were deployed and fired at them.
Danny blasted them with an ecto blast while Dani fired on the copter and destroyed the top part it. The copter started to fall when Damon Grey was thrown right out of it. Danny flew and grabbed the screaming man just as the copter vanished.
Right in front of Axion Lab
"Are you all right, sir?" asked Danny,
"Yeah, I guess I'll live." said Damon.
"Walker had a video tape in his hand. He didn't seem too happy about." said Danny.
"It was a publicity tape for Ecto-Promethium. I got no idea how that mad warden got a hand of it." said Damon,
" Walker will try again so you should go someplace safe." said Danny.
"I'll move everything to my private lab in the basement. It's got tighter security." said Damon.
Danny frowned at it.
"Tight enough to stop Walker?" asked Danny,
"I am known for making the best security system in the United States. I can afford the best and I can make the best." said Damon.
Fenton Ops Centre
"Would do you think Damon would lie to me? He's a nice guy." said Danny,
"More then I can say for his daughter. She's now got a cold of twenty below." said Sam.
"Maybe he's trying to hide the real source of his money. It seems too weird that a ghost would come after him after he starts making money of this ghost drug. We should look at his financial records." said Ulrich,
"The problem is, Ulrich, we won't be able to access them from here. We need to access to Axion Lab's data centre." said Aelita.
"That can be arranged." said Yumi.
