Meanwhile at Fenton works, from the depths of the green, swirling light of the Ghost portal. A quiet mingle of screams slowly getting louder came. Just then Gina and the others (still in their guardian forms) burst through the portal holding the Infa-Map, and flying straight into the wall opposite. "Next time," said Nicole rubbing her head. "I vote we ask for directions."

"Who's down there," came the voice of Jack Fenton. The girls panicked when they heard someone come down the stairs. Knowing Jack, he'd shoot first and ask questions never. "Wait, I've got it!" Layla whispered as she quickly disappeared. The others quickly follow, forgetting that they could go invisible in their panic.

"Ok ghost," yelled Jack as he lumbered into the lab holding the Fenton Peeler. "What have you done with my son?" Unbeknown to him, the girls were using their invisibility to sneak upstairs to Danny's room.

"That was close," Kira said as they reappeared in Danny's room. "Why are in here again?"

"Because Clockwork said that Danny got kidnapped from his room," answered Layla. "So our best bet to find clues is here." After a few seconds of looking, Kelsey piped up, "Hey, I found something." Running over to where she was the group saw she was looking at some bright green dust under the bed. "I know Danny's a half ghost teenager," she said reaching out to touch it. "But I doubt he gets green dust."

But as her finger touched it she was suddenly shocked and thrown back. "What is that stuff?" she cried.

"I think I know," said Gina wonderingly. As she said it a silver ring appeared around her waist and turned her back into Gina Hughs. Except this time, she was wearing a white, short-sleeved blouse and a pale blue, pleated skirt with blue and white trainers. "What are you doing?" Layla cried as she saw Gina reach out and touch it.

"Just as I thought," she said when nothing happened to her. "It's Ecto-ranium."

"What would it be doing in here?" Asked Nicole.

"Let's see," said Gina changing back. "Who do we know who hates Danny with every molecule in his body and was last seen smashing into a giant hunk of this stuff?"

"VLAD!!" the others cried. As well as three other voices from the door. Hearing the other voices and being nearest the door, Kira quickly opened the door and Sam, Tucker and Jazz (who had been leaning on the door trying to listen) fell into the room. "Ok," said Sam rising to her feet. "Who are you and how do you know about Danny being missing?"

"We're ghost zone guardians," said Layla stepping forward. "We were sent here by Clockwork to find out what happened to him."

"Ghost zone Guardians?" Tucker asked.

"We're like a secret service in the ghost zone," said Nicole remembering what Clockwork had told them about their job. "We only get sent in when something happens that could put both Earth and the Ghost zone in danger, that no one else but us can stop."

"So where were you when Pariah Dark got out?" Sam snapped angrily. "Or when Freakshow stole the Reality Gauntlet? Or when Danny had to face his evil future

Self? Or with the disasteroide?"

"I think she said 'that no one else but us can stop'," said Kira calmly. " Clockwork saw that your boyfriend would be able to stop and survive all those disasters."

"He's not my… O yer," Sam started out of pure habit.

"Can we please get back to the main adjective," said Nicole getting annoyed. "If Plasmius is back on planet Earth, we have to figure out where he is and what he's done with Danny."

"Well let's see," said Jazz softly as she started pacing. "According to Danny Vlad's Wisconsin place is terminated, Tucker's living in the Majors mansion in Amity, so that just leaves Colorado."

"Next stop Colorado then," said Gina opening the Infa-Map and checking for the shortest path to Colorado.

"Wait," came Tucker's voice from behind the group as he and the girls raced over.

"We're coming too."

"I don't know," said Nicole remembering that they weren't supposed to know a lot about Danny's life. "It could get pretty dangerous."

"Look missy," said Sam flaring up again. "Believe it or not, me, Jazz and Tucker have gone with Danny on almost all his adventures (well me and Tucker at least) and faced some of the worst ghosts in existence. DON'T TELL US THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS!"

"Ok, ok," said Layla half expecting this reaction. "You can come… if you do us one favour."

"I'm telling you Maddie," moaned Jack Fenton to his wife. "The Ecto-alarm on the ghost portal went off. There is a ghost in this house."

"The alarm could just be buggy," said Maddie as she tried to fix the TV. "I mean it didn't go off the night Danny…" She started to become a little blurry eyed at that point. "Don't worry honey," said Jack. "Trust me, he can take care of himself. Hey kids," he suddenly called, causing Maddie to look. Jazz, Sam and Tucker were creeping past the door. All of them were holding their backpacks close. "You haven't

Seen any spectral activity today, have you?"

"Jack give it a rest, please," said Maddie irritably saving our three friends the worry of coming up with something. "We're just going down to the lab to see if there's any clue there that the police missed," called Tucker as he and the girls passed the door.

"Good luck kids," called Maddie. The minuet the three of them were downstairs however, the all opened their bags. And Gina and the other girls tumbled out, gasping for air. "This wasn't what I had in mind when I asked you to get us passed the Fenton's," gasped Layla.

"Hey, it was either the backpacks," said Tucker as he opened the door to the Spectre Speeder. "Or the Fenton Thermos," he said holding it up.

"Never mind," said Layla nervously remembering how crapped it was. "Forget I even said anything."

"Ok," said Jazz as she and Sam got into the Speeder while the guardians positioned themselves by the Ghost Portal. "Next stop, Colorado." Next minuet the Infa-map started glowing and the girls were sucked into the portal with the Speeder hot on their tail. The search was on.

"No!!!" The smallest of the caped pair cried as he looked into one of the screens in the torture chamber. "Those little brats figured out that Plasmius is in on this. Well no matter," he said suddenly sounding a lot calmer. "I'll just have to send them a playmate. CURTIS!" He suddenly addressed the taller of the two.

"It's Cyber," said Curtis monotomly.

"What ever, just head to the ghost zone and 'greet' our young friends."

"With pleasure," said Cyber as the hooded cloak slid off. He turned out to be a young boy of around fourteen. With honey coloured hair, wearing a robotic suit that looked a lot like the one Danny's character wore in the game Doomed, except in red and silver.

As he went through one of the doors, Danny and Kelsey's captor laughed evilly. Who knew stealing an old guardian gem from the technological realm, a double of Freakshow's staff and a kid from the real world, and combining all three would pay off so well."

"You're not gonna get away with this," Kelsey yelled while Danny looked confused.

"Wait, what do you mean the real world?" Danny asked while Kelsey cringed. She hoped this wouldn't come up.

"Why don't you ask Kelsey?" said the figure. If the teens could see his face, they would see that he was smirking. "She's from the real world, so she's in a better position to answer that question then me." As the guy left the room, Kelsey started panicking like crazy as Danny looked expectantly at her. This whole thing just got a lot more difficult.
