Author's note: You know how I said that I was going to upload a new chapter every weekend? Well, that didn't work out, because I had an exam last Monday, and I was too busy studying to upload. Then this past week I've been too busy because of the exam, work, and Independence Day taking up my time. Hopefully I'll do better in the future.

Danny's Problem

The portal opened up over Tremorton High School. This was Danny's first sign that something had gone amiss.

"This isn't Amity Park! What happened?" He asked no one in particular, looking around in confusion until Skulker flew out of the portal a second later and unloaded a bunch of ecto-blasts into the ghost boy's back. The hunter's prey stalled in midair, then plummeted into the parking lot below.

Meanwhile…

Jenny Wakeman was carrying a projector under her arm, followed by her friends Brad and Tuck Carbuncle, who were both carrying camp chairs and blankets.

"Are you sure it's ok for us to use the wall of the school building for our projector screen?" Tuck asked.

"Relax, Tuck." Brad assured his younger brother, "School's out, and it's night. Who's going to care?"

"Besides, everyone knows the only way to experience 'Pocahontas in Space' is on the biggest screen imaginable." Jenny added.

The three friends reached the parking lot when a swirling pink portal opened up above them. A figure came out, looking around in a daze, before another exited and blasted the first out of the air.

"Oh my gosh!" Jenny shot into the air to catch the falling figure. "Danny?" She gasped.

The teen groaned and smiled weakly. "Hey Jen, sorry, I didn't mean to bring my fight to you."

"What happened? Why're your arms—" She began.

"Long story." Danny said. "You might want to take care of that guy first." He nodded up to Skulker, who had noticed the ghost boy's lack of splat.

The teenaged robot fired a laser at the hunter ghost, but he just phased through it. Skulker fired an ecto-blast of his own as counterattack. Danny turned the two of them intangible, but the blast nearly missed Brad and Tuck in the parking lot below.

"Skulker's after me, I'll lead him away—" the ghost boy started, but Jenny cut him off.

"Oh no you don't! You're already injured and your arms are basically useless right now. You need help."

Danny flew out of Jenny's grasp. "So maybe I do need help, but I'm not going to let your friends get hurt because of my problem!" With that he fired an eyebeam into Skulker's face, sending the hunter hurtling into the flagpole, which in turn slapped him into the pavement.

Jenny sighed and flew down to her friends. "It looks like we're going to have to cut movie night short. You guys should head home."

"Aw, but I wanna see the fight!" Tuck protested.

"Tuck." Brad reprimanded him.

"Oh, alright…"

Meanwhile, across the parking lot, Skulker was in hand to foot combat with Danny. A kick to the chest-plate, a punch to the face. Suddenly, the hunter opened up a panel in his shoulder that fired another small missile. The halfa was blasted back against the school wall. He glanced over and noticed Jenny's friends leaving for home, and the robot rocketing overhead into the light of the moon.

"And after all this time," Skulker said triumphantly, "I've finally got you right where I want y—Why are you smirking like that?"

"Three. Two. One." Danny said before Jenny landed a pile-drive kick directly onto the ghost's head.

The teenage robot stepped off the slightly crushed hunter. "Ok, so now you can suck him up in your ghost catcher thingy now, right?"

Danny once again found himself unable to slap his forehead. He hadn't been able to grab the Fenton Thermos before he left for Timmy's house.

"Unfortunately, no. I forgot the Thermos…"

Skulker groaned and shakily got up.

"…And that hit won't keep him down." The ghost boy finished.

Jenny attempted to punch Skulker in the jaw, but the ghost was expecting her this time and phased through it before firing some more missiles at the robot girl.

"Sheesh Skulker, how many missiles do you have?" Danny asked incredulously.

"As many as I need to have your head as a trophy!" the hunter replied.

"Uhg, that's disgusting!" Jenny commented.

The three continued their fight in the empty parking lot, Danny kicking and eye-blasting, Skulker firing ecto-blasts and missiles, and Jenny getting a laser or a punch in when Skulker wasn't paying attention. However, the hunter ghost wasn't showing any signs of tiring, while the ghost boy was now breathing heavily.

"I know something that'll keep him down for a while," Danny said quietly to Jenny, "but it'll use up a lot of my energy. Get behind me and be ready for something really loud." Jenny nodded and turned off her sound receptors.

The ghost boy spread his legs apart into a steady stance and took in a deep breath. Skulker realized what was coming a second too late. The Ghostly Wail ripped through the hunter's armor and knocked him unconscious. Unfortunately it also rendered the halfa unconscious.

Jenny grabbed him as he reverted back to his human form, before he collapsed. "Danny, are you alright?" She asked worriedly.

"That was awesome!" Tuck suddenly popped up from behind a fence.

"Tuck! You were supposed to go home with Brad!"

"Yeah, and it's a good thing I didn't, look what I would've missed!" The young boy exclaimed.

Danny came to after a few seconds. "That… should keep Skulker down… long enough for me to… go home and grab a Fenton Thermos." He panted, "But just in case… maybe we should see if your mom… has any inventions that'll hold a ghost in the meantime."

Author's Note: Well, I try my hand at action writing again in this chapter. Tell me what you think. It's never been a strong point of mine, since my writing usually consists largely of dialogue.
