Chapter 9
Danny stood his ground as the ghost puppets of Marionette charged at him. Skulker launched missiles, Technus release metallic tentacles, and Johnny unleashed his shadow, and Klemper and Desiree charge at him. Sam and Odd fired their weapons but so far the ghosts dodged them. Danny closed his eyes and suddenly he split into four Danny Phantoms.
"What the heck?" asked Odd,
"It's just duplication, Odd. Looks like Danny finally got the hang of it." said Sam.
Marionette only smiled.
"What a great addition to my collection." said the Puppet Ghost.
Danny and his copies started firing ecto blasts all over the place in order to hit the ghosts. Klemper leapt at the Phantoms only to be blasted by four ecto blasts and Skulker fired a fire storm of missiles. The four Phantoms blocked the missiles and attacked the ghost hunter. Sam jumped in and blocked Desiree's punched and blasted her with a laser.
Technus lunged forward with metallic tentacles but the Phantoms easily blasted him. Soon enough all ghost puppets were down.
"Is that the best you can do, Marionette?" asked Danny.
His duplicates merged with him as he turned to the Puppet Ghost.
"Ghost boy, you have proven stronger then I believed but that doesn't I did not come prepared. Remember I have been collecting ghosts to use as my puppets for a long time. Now it's time reveal two of my personal favorite ghosts." said Marionette,
"Great." said Odd.
Marionette raised his hands again and two ghosts appeared in front of Danny and the gang gasped. Vortex and the Fright Knight!
"How the heck did you get these two?" asked Danny,
"It was easy like the rest. I told you how people underestimate me because of my puppet body." said Marionette.
With that said Vortex released a whirlwind at the ghost boy while the Fright Knight unsheathed his sword. Danny used his duplication again and dodged it. Sam and Odd fired their lasers but the Fright Night blocked it. Danny then noticed ecto strings on the backs of their heads.
Vortex released lightning at the Phantoms which took out two of them. The Fright Night charged forward to bring down his sword on Sam but at the last second Danny grabbed her and lifted her out of the way.
"There is only one way to stop these two." said Danny.
He took a deep breath as he looked at Vortex and the Fright Night and opened his mouth, letting out a blast of shock waves that sounded like a scream. The attack known as Ghostly Wail blew the two ghosts back into the wall and the attack rocked the entire complex. Sam grabbed the Fenton Thermos and sucked up all the ghosts that Marionette controlled. Suddenly as Danny finished an ecto string attached itself to the back of his head and suddenly he lost all control.
Danny!" said Sam,
"Now my new puppet, finish them!" said Marionette.
Danny started firing ecto blasts at other two and they jumped. Odd hid behind a wall by diving into a hole in it and watched as Danny unleashed a barrage of ecto blasts. Danny flew at Sam and froze her legs. He blasted her armor to pieces with a fire storm of ecto bolts. Odd then noticed the ecto string attached to him.
With careful aiming Odd fired the laser from his gun and the blast severed the ecto string between Danny and Marionette. Danny collapsed onto his knees and looked at Sam. She was fine except her feet were frozen and her armor was blasted.
"Sam, what happened?" asked Danny,
"You were under that Puppet Ghost's control." said Sam.
Danny then turned to look at Marionette with a deep glare and his glowed a darker green hue. Pallet who was watching chuckled.
"I think it's time we end this, Marionette. Why don't we try our double combo attack?" asked Pallet,
"Yes I agree. Let's give it a try." said Marionette.
Pallet raised his paint brush which created a massive ball as Marionette vanished. The ball came rolling at Danny who blocked it with an ecto shield. The hit the shield with a loud blow and it continued to roll against the shield. Danny quickly charged an ecto bolt and fired it right into the center of the ball. Suddenly Marionette appeared from inside the ball as it broke apart.
"Peek-a-boo, I see you." said the Puppet Ghost.
With no hesitation he raised his fist and slammed it into Danny's face. The half ghost was sent flying into the ground with a hard hit. Pallet quickly raised his paint brush and allowed the paint to fly out and shape itself into something new. Meanwhile two masks on the back of Marionette's back opened and released steel rods that flew into the air and landed on the ground surrounding Danny.
They glowed green and pulsed with ecto energy.
"Got too close to these rods and they will fry you." said Marionette.
Danny quickly stood his ground as he stayed away from the ecto rods.
"And that is not all. Look above you ghost child." said Marionette.
He looked to see Pallet on top of a glider using his paint brush to create a massive missile. The missile came alive and flew down at him. Danny quickly released his Ghostly Wail on it but not full blast but it was enough to send the missile back to its owner. Pallet jumped off the glider as the missile hit and destroyed the glider.
Danny quickly flew into the air and destroyed the rods. Pallet landed on top of Marionette.
"This is our final combo." said Pallet,
"Let's see you handle this" said Marionette.
The wheels on Marionette's feet spun to life and they moved with great speed as Pallet pointed his staff at the ground. The paint sprouted from the brush and shaped itself into millions of slugs and flies. Danny fired an ecto blast at them but they dodged. Danny then noticed the slugs gathered around him and the flies stopped him from flying.
Danny quickly fired blue rays as the slugs and flies started to explode. The two ghost artists looked at the smoke as it cleared and gasped. Danny had covered himself in ice and avoided the explosion. The ghost boy broke free from the ice.
"Looks like your art just won't cut it." said Danny,
"Cure you ghost child!" said Marionette.
Danny quickly used his duplication and flew at the ghosts. Pallet quickly pointed his paint brush and allowed the paint to shape itself into a swarm of ghostly wasps. Danny and his copies quickly went intangible as the wasps flew at them and appeared in front of Pallet.
"What?" asked Pallet.
The wasps turned and flew at the Phantoms only for them to go intangible and the wasps to fly through and hit Pallet. They exploded and the Paint Ghost hit the wall. The Puppet Ghost quickly opened panels in his knees and unleashed a barrage of missiles but Danny and his copies dodged it and delivered a massive barrage of ecto bolts. Marionette hit the ground and Danny sucked them both in with the Fenton Thermos.
He sighed and sat down.
"That was rough." said Danny.
Suddenly his intercom went off. He turned it on and heard Danielle on the line.
"Danny, I talked to Ember." said Dani,
"What did she have to say?" asked Danny.
"You were right. She was using the transmitter you gave her to lead us to Freakshow and Undergrowth." said Dani,
"Okay, but why?" asked Danny.
"She's scared. She knows too much about Freakshow and doesn't want to end up mind controlled." said Dani,
"Why would Freakshow want to hurt her?" asked Danny.
"Freakshow and Undergrowth went to her for help with Amity Chemical and Ember refused. Now she knows a few things she shouldn't." said Dani,
"Like what?" asked Danny.
"Freakshow is using the money smuggled to him by Amity Park's most important men to buy the parts needed to build a ghost portal but right it isn't ready and that's why the power to the chemical plant was shut off. If you get to the third sub basement and turn it back on then you can short circuit the ghost portal and with your freezing powers you can freeze the entire place to stop Undergrowth." said Dani,
"Right, I got it. Thanks Dani." said Danny.
"No problem. You know I would help out my favorite cousin." said Dani.
