Tucker eased the Specter Speeder into the Ghost Zone. Sam sat beside Tucker with Danny in her lap. They had made sure to grab their thick coats before they set off. At first, they weren't sure what to do about Danny. The Far Frozen was awfully cold, even if he did have a fur coat. Their first idea was to bring a blanket, but then Sam remembered an old sweater that didn't fit her anymore. Her grandmother had knitted it for her, so it was a plain purple and black sweater. They threw it in the wash to shrink it down to fit Danny.
Every time they passed an enemies lair, they tensed up. They didn't want to fight one of Danny's ghostly foes. They could handle themselves well enough with the weapons in the Specter Speeder, but they didn't want any of his enemies to know about his current predicament. That would bring every ghost in the Ghost Zone after him, seeing as he'd be easy to take out.
They could see the landmarks that they associated with the Far Frozen coming up. They smiled. Maybe their luck was improving. Maybe they could get to the Far Frozen without any trouble. Yeah, right. Something hit the outside of the ship, causing it to rattle.
All three yelled in surprise as they were thrown around inside of the ship. Tucker managed to grab hold of the controls and straightened the Specter Speeder. "What the heck hit us?!" Tucker asked as he gazed out the windshield. A figure flew into view. It was Skulker!
"Oh, no…" Danny muttered. He really didn't want to fight, seeing as he couldn't fight. He could only use his most basic ghost powers. He also didn't want Skulker to see him this way. He'd have no trouble making fun of the Halfa relentlessly. Danny didn't feel comfortable letting his friends fight his battles for him. They could get hurt or worse, and he wouldn't be able to do anything except watch.
Skulker cackled madly. "I knew I recognized this ship," Skulker said, observing the two teens. Skulker frowned. "Where is the ghost child?" Skulker asked, confused. He really was only there for Danny.
Sam thought quickly and said, "He's not with us."
Skulker narrowed his eyes at the girl. "Really?" Skulker asked skeptically. Both teens nodded. Skulker checked his sensors. "Liars! My sensors are picking up his ecto-signature! If you won't tell me where he is, I'll have to scared him out of hiding!"
Skulker pointed his wrist gun at the Specter Speeder. The gun whined as it charged up. "Tucker, drive!" Sam yelled.
"You don't have to tell me twice!" Tucker replied as he clicked buttons on the Specter Speeder's dash. Tucker floored the Specter Speeder, flying past Skulker. Skulker barely escaped getting run over by the ship. He glowered at the ship that was quickly shrinking into the distance and took off after it.
"Sam, get to the weapons!" Danny said, pointing to a console with his paw.
Sam ran over as quickly as she could without falling over. She sat down and looked at the many buttons and switches that were on the console. "Um…" Sam mumbled as she looked for the correct button to push. Finally she found a button that had a skull and crossbones on it. "This one looks promising," Sam smiled as she pressed the button. A big ray gun of some sort popped out of the top of the Specter Speeder. The ray gun charged up a huge, green blast and fired at Skulker. Skulker saw the beam and dove down to avoid it. The ray continued to fire blasts at Skulker, and Skulker continued to maneuver around them. Skulker pulled out an ecto gun and fired at the giant ray gun. He blasted the ray gun, causing it to detach from the Specter Speeder.
"Are we close, Tucker?" Sam asked, panicked.
"Yeah, we're nearly there," Tucker said, increasing the Specter Speeder's speed. They could see the snowy hills approaching. "Woah!" Tucker yelled as he pulled up on the controls. He had pushed the Speeder too much, and now it had spiralled out of control into a nosedive. He slowed their speed and pulled on the controls more. The Speeder began to pull upwards but not fast enough. They were still going to crash!
They hit the snow covered ground several times before the Specter Speeder finally settled. Sam and Tucker quickly grabbed their coats and Danny's tiny sweater before they raced out the door with Danny right behind them. Unfortunately, Skulker showed up right then and snatched Danny up. Sam and Tucker bit their lips, trying not to shout for their friend. He looked curiously at the black kitten before he glanced at his scanner confusedly. "Hmm. My scanner says that you're the halfa," Skulker growled.
"Let me go!" Danny said. Skulker had been holding him in a very uncomfortable position, and cats just don't do uncomfortable.
A nasty grin spread across Skulker's face. "Ah, so it is you, ghost child!" Skulker cackled madly once more. "I see your in quite the dilemma," Skulker said as he looked over the black kitten.
"Yeah, I'm kind of having a small catastrophe. Now would you mind putting me down now so I can get this fixed?" Danny asked grouchily. Skulker hands were awfully cold, and the air was even colder.
"Oh, no. I can't do that, now can I? You're still very valuable even if you're a cat," Skulker said. A glowing knife popped out of his wrist. "You won't get away this time!" Skulker said, raising the knife.
"No!" Sam and Tucker yelled. They were in such a rush to get out of the Speeder that they had forgotten to grab a weapon.
Danny struggled in Skulker's grip but was unable to slip out. Skulker swung the blade down, and in that moment, Danny felt his instincts take over. He growled and ectoplasmic energy surrounded his paws. He slashed at Skulker's arm, ripping through the metal like tissue. Skulker screamed in pain and surprise as his arm fell into the snow below. Danny scrambled away over to his Tucker. Sam had ran back to the Specter Speeder to grab a thermos since she was the faster of the two. "Tucker, catch!" Sam yelled, tossing the thermos to Tucker. Tucker caught the thermos and sucked Skulker into it.
Alright, how did you like this chapter? I had a ton of fun writing this. Next chapter will most likely be the end of this story. Anyways, until the next chapter!
