Chapter 8: Going Ghost Hunting
It was quite a fight in the first round for the Magical Duel. Poor Timmy had no chance of defending himself from the gorilla form as how Johnny Test, a.k.a. Johnny X who was still being overshadowed by a ghostly associate of Skulker. The gorilla then slammed poor Timmy right into the floor of the arena which was quite painful for him.
"Oh, that's got to hurt" remarked Cosmo.
"But it makes great entertainment" laughed Jorgen who was laughing at Timmy's expense.
"I just hope Danny and Jimmy are on their way with finding whoever is behind this evil plan Jorgen mentioned" said Wanda.
Meanwhile, at Area 51.1, Danny, Jimmy and Dukey have already arrived on the scene and noticed that basically just about everybody were overshadowed by Skulker's ghostly associates.
"Looks like the entire place is overrun with these ghosts" said Jimmy.
"Don't worry" said Danny, "leave them to me. You two may try to find Johnny's two sisters."
"You got it" said Dukey.
Danny then began to search the base and knocked out two guards whom were overshadowed by ghosts. He then used his ecto-energy beam to knock out the ghosts that were overshadowing the guards. The two ghosts then scattered away from the scene in a hurry trying to warn their fellow ghostly comrades. While Danny was doing just that, this gave enough time for Jimmy and Dukey to come into the scene and managed to find an air vent of the military base.
"I think I can sniff them out through this air vent system" said Dukey.
"Let's hope there's no other surprises" said Jimmy as he and Dukey leaped down right into the air vent system.
As the two went deep into the air vent system, Danny was having an easy time fighting off these ghosts as he easily manage to get each ghost away from overshadowing a military personal guard.
"This is just too easy" laughed Danny as he had an easy time beating up the ghosts that were coming out of the people that were being overshadowed.
"Oh you think so ghost boy" said an unfamiliar voice to Danny.
As Danny turned around, he noticed that Mr. Black and Mr. White had entered the scene and noticed they weren't too pleased noticing that their fellow employees of the military were knocked unconscious only to find Danny standing.
"Er, you two wouldn't be happen to be overshadowed by ghosts, would you?" asked Danny.
"No, we're not" replied Mr. Black to which he along with Mr. White then revaeled their eyes after lifting their sunglasses, "but what we don't like about this picture is that some ghost boy has broken into this base."
"And we're taking you down for good, maybe we may even get simultaneous positions in that Guys in White organization we have been hearing about" added Mr. White.
"This isn't good" sighed Danny as he then began to fly away from the scene.
"Come back ghost boy!" cried Mr. Black which he and Mr. White were right on Danny's trail.
But as that was going on, Dukey had managed to sniff the location of where Mary and Susan Test were being kept.
"I think they're right here" said Dukey as he pointed at this air vent.
"Then we're going in" replied Jimmy as he used his laser watch to break through.
"Dukey, what are you doing here?" asked Susan with such astonishment, "And who the heck are you?"
"Er, no time to explain for that" replied Jimmy, "we have to get you two out of here, and fast!"
"Yeah, what he said" added Dukey.
As Jimmy and Dukey were just about to get Mary and Susan Test to safety, some guards whom were overshadowed by ghosts came into the scene.
"I don't think it would be wise that you two are to escape" said one of the overshadowed guards.
"But we don't want to work for the military, at least not yet" complained Mary.
"Too bad" said another overshadowed guard, "you're under our contract of terms and services."
But before the overshadowed guards could do anything, Danny came crashing right into the scene as Mr. Black had just fired a high-tech powered weapon at him. Danny eventually recovered from the surprised attack.
"And who the heck is he?" asked Susan.
"Er, that's going to be a longer story" replied Jimmy.
"You ghost boy, you're going to go down for good" said Mr. White.
"I'm telling you, I'm here to help you two" said Danny as he recovered from the attack.
"Oh, with what?" asked Mr. Black.
"With this" replied Danny as he fired his ecto-energy blasts at the overshadowed guards revealing the ghosts that came out of them which shocked both Mr. Black and Mr. White.
"Didn't see that coming, I thought we were just doing our orders in keeping the Test sisters here" said Mr. White.
"Quickly, we have to flee back to the Ghost Zone!" cried one of the ghosts.
"You kids can leave" said Mr. Black, "we'll clean this up before the General comes back."
Meanwhile back in the Ghost Zone, Skulker was back on his floating island with poor Poof as his captive along with also Mama Cosma with Skulker.
"I can't believe my evil scheme worked!" laughed Mama Cosma as she floated around the butterfly net that held Poof.
"Yes, this would be a win-win for all three of us" laughed Skulker.
Suddenly an unknown ghostly associate came immediately into Skulker's lair.
"What have you to report ghost?" asked Skulker to the ghost.
"The ghost boy has already found out of our plan" replied the ghost to which the other ghosts showed up on the scene, "any further orders?"
"I have an order to give you" replied Skulker as he then fired some ropes around the ghosts, "I gave you a specific order, that if you were to succeed in this, I would release you from my clutches. But since you have not, I'm keeping you!"
"Well, let's just get ready just in case that ghost boy and anyone else shows up here" said Mama Cosma.
"I'm way ahead of you on that" replied Skulker as he pressed a button on a remote control which sprung up all of these various traps, "no one is stepping onto my turf to rescue Poof without a good fight!"
"You said it" laughed Mama Cosma.
Meanwhile, back in Porkbelly, Danny, Jimmy, the Test sisters and Dukey had arrived at Jimmy's temporary underground lab.
"So you must be a genius too?" asked Mary to Jimmy.
"Yeah, long story short, I'm sort of not from this town" replied Jimmy as he was pressing the buttons on his dimensional wormhole portal trying to find the Ghost Zone, "but I think we have a situation to deal with first!"
"Don't worry, I'm heading in there to deal with Skulker and get Poof back" said Danny to Jimmy, "you monitor what's going from here."
"You got it" replied Jimmy.
But as Danny was just about to get ready for a fight with Skulker, he did not really know what was lying ahead for him as he was preparing to head into the Ghost Zone.
