Night At the Ghost Museum
Ch. 1: An Unwanted Burden
The Specter Speeder sped through the Ghost Zone, blinding passing ghosts with a bright light coming from a camera installed in the Specter Speeder. Danny was bored of his mind while his parents were as excited as two kids going to an amusement park for the first time.
"Can I blast him?" Jack asked.
"No." said Danny.
"That one?"
"No.
"That one?"
"NO!"
The reason why Danny was even with his parents in the Ghost Zone was because they wanted to try and map out the Ghost Zone, and they needed Danny because he was more familiar with the surroundings.
Danny was hoping that it would end. Not just because he was bored, but because he didn't want to run into any ghosts who had it out for him. Which was nearly almost every ghost in the Ghost Zone.
"Are we done yet?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, all we've seen are rocks and ghosts I can't shoot." complained Jack.
"Don't worry, we're almost done. I just want to check out one more area and then we can go." said Maddie.
The two groaned and waited awkwardly for the trip to be over.
"Sooooo... uh how's it going?" Jack asked awkwardly.
"Good, I guess." said Danny.
"Good to hear. Uhhh so, anything new at school?"
"Not really. Oh wait, we're going on a field trip and I need you to sign this."
Danny pulled out a permission slip from his pocket and gave it to his dad.
"Sure thing. I always love permission slips." said Jack.
"That's because you get to use it as an excuse to be called "parental guardian". Like I'm a guardian of ... parents or something."
"So what? It makes me sound important. Like calling a cop a law enforcer."
"Whatever you say Dad."
"That's parental guardian to you. Hey, is it just me or are all the windows are getting all foggy."
Danny looked and did see that the windows were getting kind of icy.
"And w-w-w-w-w-why did it just get cold in here all of a sudden?" Jack asked while shivering.
Suddenly, the windows were getting covered in ice and the temperature started to drop. Within seconds, the winds started to pick up and shake the Specter Speeder.
"Wow, that was the longest we've gone without having an accident." said Maddie.
"Well at least it can't get worse." said Jack.
Danny facepalm'd himself and groaned. "Why did you have to say that?"
"What's the big deal?"
THOOM!
The Specter Speeder shook as something hit the side of the ship.
"What was that!" wondered Maddie.
Danny looked out the window and could faintly make out icicles and huge snowballs being fired at them.
BOOM!
The ship shook as a boulder sized snowball hit the Specter Speeder. A red light started to flash and beep loudly.
"ABANDON SHIP!" yelled Jack. He ran to the escape door and tried to open the door. He tried as hard as he could, but he couldn't force it open because they were frozen shut. "Crud."
"I'M GOING GHOST!" yelled Danny, as he transformed into Danny Phantom. He grabbed his parents and phased the two out of the Specter Speeder before it crashed.
CRASHHH!
The three watched as the Specter Speeder skidded onto the snowy ground as Danny floated above while holding his parents.
"Wow, when did you get so strong?" Maddie asked.
"He gets it from me." said Jack.
"It comes with the powers, I guess." said Danny, still invisible. He flew down to where the crashed Specter Speeder was and dropped his shivering parents on the ground. The two pulled on a string they made their jumpsuit turn into parkas.
"Okay, now we're perfectly-"
SHOOM!
An arrow flew past Maddie missing her by an inch and hit a rock behind her.
"-safe."
They stood still as several yeti-like creatures surrounded them, pointing arrow at them and growling at them.
"Don't worry. I've got a plan." whispered Jack. "FREEZE!" said Jack pulling out a blaster. Danny facepalms himself again. He dropped to the ground and became visible again. He got in a fighting stance and prepared to fight.
"Hold your fire!"
The creatures lowered the weapons as the leader of the group came out. He walked up to the Fentons and Danny said "Thanks for the help Frostbite."
"Anytime. Drop your weapons, it is the Great One." Frostbite announced.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" everyone screamed as they ran for cover.
"Hey, that's the same reaction I get when I go to my high school reunions." said Jack.
"I apologize for my people attacking you. We did not know you were with The Great One." apologized Frostbite.
"Who?" Jack asked.
"That would be me. Guys, this is Frostbite, leader of the Far Frozen realm. And one of the few ghosts who don't want to waste me. His people kinda worship me for defeating Parah Dark." Danny explained.
"Aw." said Jack as he put his blaster away.
"Well it's nice to meet you. I'm Maddie and this is my husband Jack. And don't worry, you aren't the first person to try and blast my husband." said Maddie.
"Thank you. I will have someone fix your vessel for you, or someone who isn't hiding in fear." Frostbite said.
"I take it that everyone is still on edge since I trained here?" Danny asked.
"A few are still worried, but we have more concerning issues that requires your help." said Frostbite.
"Like what?"
"It would be better if I showed you. Come with me."
"Can we come too?" Jack asked.
Frostbite looks at Danny and Danny said "Sure. You can trust them."
"Very well." said Frostbite.
Frostbite lead the Fentons into a secret passage down a long pathway, walking next to Danny and his parents behind them.
"So what's the problem this time?" Danny asked.
"Have you ever heard of a ghost named "Clockwork"?" Frostbite asked.
Danny started to worry and replied, "Yes, unfortunately." He only said unfortunately because whenever he met Clockwork, there was trouble. Whether it involved time travel or the getting news of the fate of the world being in jeopardy, it always involved Clockwork. Danny didn't mind being friends with him, he just wanted to have some good news from him for once.
"Well, several months ago, he came to us for help."
"Clockwork asked you for help?" Danny could barely believe it. The ghost who controlled time and space needed help and didn't want Danny to know. This had to be serious.
"Yes. Since he knew we guarded the Infinity Map so well, he entrusted us with a serious matter."
"What?"
"Guarding this." he said as he approached a huge door and opened it. Upon entering, the Fentons gasped in awe as they saw the huge ice room filled with ghostly artifacts in ice cases.
"Wow." the three of them said. Maddie and Jack ran in and started to examine all the artifacts
"Yes. In here are almost every ghost artifacts in known to ghosts. From the to the Flower of Pestilence, to the Ring of Rage, and even the Skeleton Key." said Frostbite.
"You mean he just gave you all this?" Danny asked.
"Yes. He did not tell us why, but he only said that it was of grave importance that be safely guarded from intruders. And we have managed to protect almost every item in here."
"Almost?"
Frostbite frowned and admitted, "With the exception of one item: The Infinity Map." He pointed to the center of the room and noticed a display empty.
"What!"
"I'm afraid so. Not to long ago, someone broke into this room and managed to steal the Infinity Room. We managed to trap the culprit, but he used the the map to escape."
"Do you know who did it?"
"Yes. My guards described the culprit as a male, with green fire-like hair, boots, a deep voice, and several weapons."
"Did he look really buff and look like a hunter?"
"Yes."
"Skulker. That figures. Have you tried getting it back from him?"
"We've tried. We've tried ambushing him, searching his air, but sadly there was no trace of it anywhere."
"Hold up. What's an Infinity Map?" Jack asked.
"It's a map of the Ghost Zone that can take you to anywhere in the Ghost Zone or to any portal." said Danny.
"Wow, I'd pay top dollar for that." said Jack, returning to looking at the displays.
Danny stopped and had an idea. He hoped he was wrong.
"Have you ever thought that maybe he gave it to someone? Or sold it?" Danny suggested.
"Hmmmm, it's possible. Do you have any ideas?" said Frostbite.
"Well, the only client Skulker really worked for was... Vlad Masters a.k.a. Vlad Plasmius."
"Ah yes, the one who took the Infinity Map the first time. It's possible-"
"Impossible. Vladdy's up in space where I ditched him." said Jack.
"Actually-"
Frostbite was about to say something, when Danny whispered, "He doesn't like to talk about Vlad. They used to be friends before Vlad bacame a halfa. So I wouldn't mention him if I were you."
"Then perhaps I should be telling you that he has been spotted once or twice around this realm." whispered Frostbite.
Danny worried when he heard that. He hadn't seen Plasmius since Vlad gave him the message of the upcoming threat from Clockwork. Danny knew Vlad was up to something, and if he had the Infinity Map, then Danny was going to be in big trouble.
"So, I'm guessing you need me to get Vlad to stop sneaking around here?" Danny asked.
"No. I feel that losing the Infinity Map twice has proven that I am not worthy to protect these valuable treasures, but you might." said Frostbite.
"Huh?"
"I am asking you to take these artifacts and guard them with all your might, and hopefully do better than I did."
"WHAT!" Jack said speeding over to Danny faster than a bullet. "How come he gets cool stuff and I don't?" moaned Jack.
"Dad, I'm not going to take this stuff." said Danny.
"Wait, did you just call him "Dad" just now?" Frostbite asked.
"Yes he did. I'm Jack Fenton, his parental guardian." Jack said proudly.
"Guardian, you say? Of the Chosen One?"
"Yep."
"Interesting. And you are interested in taking these ancient artifacts?"
"Heck yeah!"
"Then may I ask if you would take the honor of guarding-"
Before Frostbite could finish, Jack was already grabbing ghostly artifacts and running to the Specter Speeder.
"I presume that's a yes." said Frostbite.
"Unfortunately." said Danny.
After 20 minutes, the Specter Speeder was operational again and the ghostly artifacts were nearly stored on the ship, as Danny, Jack, Maddie, and Frostbite watched.
"Are you sure you want to do this? They're very dangerous." Danny asked.
"Of course. It looks really cool." said Jack.
"I was talking to Frostbite." said Danny.
"Do not question your elders, Great One. With you and your guardians protecting them, what could go wrong?" Frostbite said.
The last of the artifacts were put in the Specter Speeder, and the Fentons got on and flew away, as Frotstbite and his people waved goodbye.
Danny looked out the window and saw something gleaming on a nearby floating piece of land.
"What are you looking at sweetie?" Maddie asked.
Danny looked again and didn't see anything. "Nothing. Just... nothing."
As the Specter Speeder sped off, little did they know that there was something gleaming. It was a light that was bouncing off a pair of binoculars being used by Vlad Plasmius.
"Well well well, I better alert my new team that the heist is going to be much, much easier." said Vlad as he chuckled evilly.
End of Ch. 1
Uh-oh. Jack has almost every ghostly artifact ever made (with the exception of the Ghost Gauntlet, Reality Gems, and Infinity Map). What is Vlad after? Who is this new team he's recruited? Is the title "Parental Guardian" really that fancy? Find out in Ch. 2: Opening Day or Briefing (Haven't decided yet, may change). Please review and check out my other stories.
