Disclaimer: Well, I go to Florida soon and I figured I'd get this up.

Only one review huh… well… you make me sad. But I shall continues anyway! A special thank you to Data-Dog for your review… even if it was just a question it made me feel special all the same.

Well, I see I No Ur Secret got a lot of hits so I'll be updating that next so check back later for that.

And here's your next chapter!

Chapter 2

Tucker Foley and Danny Fenton were at it again, their "Super Smash Brothers Battle To The Death Match Of All Matches." It was a semi-weekly tournament from which Sam was banned because she always won and could only commence if there weren't any ghost attacks.

So far, the score was in Tucker's favor: 7 to 5. Danny was far behind in the current match and Tucker had the hammer.

GAME OVER

"Noo!" Danny cried, shaking his controller in frustration. "Damn that hammer!"

"Haha! That what you get for trying to take on the tech man! Oh yea! Go me! Go me!" Tucker preformed a dance of victory as Danny fumed.

"One more match! Come on!" he pleaded.

"Dude I'm totally creaming you today. You're off your game."

"But I'll get you this time!"

"Ha! As if! You're on!"

Sam rolled her eyes as the boys started a new game. "You know, instead of arguing, you could just let me play and I'll kick both your butts. I'll even let you take me two to one," she offered, marking her place in her book with her pen.

"No way!" Tucker said, madly mashing buttons.

"Yea, that totally wouldn't be fair. You'd kick our ass!" Danny agreed.

"So? Your point?" Sam asked, completing her Su-Do-Ku puzzle and flipping the page to the next one.

Before either of the boys could think up a response, there was the wail of a siren and Danny's dad, Jack Fenton, came bounding down the stairs in his bright orange jumpsuit.

"I finally get that ghost detector fixed and it goes off not moments after. I knew that we had ghosts around!"

His wife, Maddie Fenton, was right behind him and shouted down to the three teens, "Keep a sharp eye out children, there are ghosts afoot!"

Danny exchanged glances with Sam and Tucker. All three were thinking the same thing. Did the siren go off because of Danny? After all, he was half ghost.

But it seemed the Danny, for once, wasn't the culprit, or at least, not the only one. Danny's ghost sense, more reliable than many of his dad's inventions, alerted the trio of friends to the presence of a ghost that, as Danny surveyed his surroundings, had just flown by the window. The sirens subsided and Jack grabbed Maddie's hand. "Quick! It's getting away!" And the blue jumpsuited woman was practically dragged by her husband out the door. Danny heard the squeal of rubber on asphalt that meant his dad was pulling the Fenton RV out of the driveway and turned back to his two friends.

"Should we help?" he asked, a bit reluctant to leave the tournament.

"They might need it," Sam said.

"Oh but we were in the middle of a match!" Tuck whined, "I think they could handle one ghost fight right?"

"At least until we finish out fight."

"Well of course! Now let's unpause this so I can win and we can help your folks!"

"Oh I doubt you'll be winning!" Danny retorted grabbing up his controller and seizing the hammer that had just fallen from the sky.

"Noo! Damn that hammer!"

Sam rolled her eyes.

"Boys."

Tucker sulked out of the house as Danny transformed into his alter ego. "Man, I nearly had you in that match."

"Hey, you still won the tournament right?" Danny said, shutting his front door behind him.

"Well of course. I am the tech-geek here."

"Well, if you two are done, I thought we were going to find Danny's parents."

Twenty minutes later they found themselves facing quite a different scene from what they had expected to find on the road...

Or at least, what was once a road.

"What happened here?" Sam wondered aloud, wide violet eyes scanning the scene.

It was a complete mess. The road was completely torn up, trash was scattered everywhere, and a lamppost was toppled into the middle of the sidewalk. Buildings were beginning to crumble and Danny was sure that all that damage couldn't have been caused by anyone as trivial as the box ghost.

"Either my dad's driving is worse than I thought, or this is really bad news," Danny said as he set his friends down on the ground. There was a groan from somewhere off to the left and Danny's eyes widened in fear.

"Dad?" Danny transformed back into his human half and ran over to the alleyway the noise had come from. "Dad!"

Jack Fenton looked like he had just been through a hurricane. His hair was tossed and tangled with bits of rubble and there was a fresh bruise forming around his left eye. At his son's shout he seemed to come back into consciousness and began to struggle to his feet. "Danny?" He clutched his side in pain. "Danny where's your mother?"

"Mom? She's not with you?" Danny scanned the alley as he tried to help his dad stand. There was no sign of Maddie Fenton. His dad went frantic. "Maddie! Maddie where are you? Maddie!"

"Jack!" Sam, Tucker, and the two Fenton men breathed a sigh of relief as Maddie ran into the alleyway. "Oh Jack!" Maddie threw herself into her husband's arms. "I was so worried!"

Maddie didn't look any better than her husband; there was dirt all over her jumpsuit and in her hair and it smelled as though she had been tossed into a dumpster. She embraced her son soon after releasing her husband, and even went as far as to smile in relief at Tuck and Sam.

"That ghost is going to get it! As soon as I get my hands on that bat woman…!" Jack made violent strangling motions with his hands and Maddie's eyes went steely.

"Sweetheart," she said, addressing her son, "You and Sam and Tuck should head home. It's not safe with this ghost on the loose." Danny opened his mouth to protest but his mother cut him off. "Put on the ghost shield when you get there ok?"

Danny shut his mouth. If his mother was worried enough to tell him to activate the ghost shield, than whatever attacked them, this "bat woman" as his dad called her, must have put them very on edge.

"Ok mom," he said, ignoring the looks Sam and Tuck gave him. "I'll just be headed home then." He turned and grabbed both Tucker and Sam by the wrists and pulled them in his wake, giving Sam a wink as he went. The goth caught on quick and said loudly, "Yea, just headed back to your house Mrs. Fenton."

"And be careful you three! Who knows where that spook is now," his dad called after them, loading some large gun he seemingly pulled from nowhere with fresh ammo.

"Right dad!" The trio turned the corner and Danny scanned the area around them before once again transforming. "Alright guys, get back to my house and-"

"No way Danny!" Sam interrupted, hands on her hips, "We're sticking with you." There was a shout from around the corner and Danny snuck a glance. His parents were running down the street - luckily the opposite way - following the directions of some device or another. Danny shook his head. "You can't come if I'm following them," he said, "If they see you two they'll know you didn't go back to my house and then where would we be?"

"But Danny-" Tucker started, but there was an explosion from where the road had been torn up. Danny gasped as his ghost sense went off. The three ran around the corner as a figure rose from the rubble of the explosion, the girl's voice sending shivers down Danny's spine.

"Now, where did my prey go?"

Alright, I decided that, to get the story moving I would need to put some action in this chapter so… there you go. Review with suggestions, comments, flames, whatever!

Hope to get the nest chapter of INUS and Mysteries up soon! Until then, taah!
