I don't Own Danneh! O-o

Chapter 13

Capturing the Box Ghost

……………………………….

The next day the newly reunited team stood behind a rather large tree beside Lancer's house. Tucker had gotten his address by doing a bit of hacking into the school's website.

"I wonder what fool did the architecture on this place." Taylor commented with a slight smirk as she looked up at the small and quite feminine looking house.

Mr.Lancer lived at the edge of town where it became a bit more wooded. His house was a two story, medium sized, and tinted a light purple with dark purple doors to compliment it's quite unique color scheme. In front of the house was an extremely colorful garden and neatly cut grass.

"I don't know about that, but I can understand why the Box Ghost would want to use this place for a portal; it's so secluded." Sam said in thought as she looked at Taylor with a frown.

"No time to think about that now." Danny said with seriousness. "I can just feel the ghostly energy radiating off this place! How he doesn't figure out that there's a portal to the ghost zone in his house I can't understand."

Danny looked from one friend to another with a confident smirk.

"Are you ready to kick some serious ghost butt?"

"Right behind ya," Tucker said, pulling out the thick essay that Lancer had assigned the day before.

"Then let's do this!" Danny said.

Stepping away from his friends, he shot both of his arms in the air and screamed," Going Ghost!" Taylor watched in wonder as two blue rings formed around him turning him into Danny Phantom. He put his arms down and looked at Taylor, who grinned in return. She pressed the small watch on her arm. A light blue glow radiated off of her, and then she was standing there in her new and improved Fenton Lab Outfit.

"Let's roll," she said with a smirk to Danny as he took her hand.

Going intangible didn't feel like anything at all. As a matter of fact, when you weren't made up of anything, you didn't feel any pain, just as though you were everything in the world at once. Danny , though she didn't see him, lead her deep down into the basement of the house.

Sam and Tucker watched as Danny and Taylor disappeared into oblivion.

"Alright Tuck. . . let's get moving!" Sam said, pulling on his arm to the front of Lancer's house.

Stepping up the gravel path to the door was even creepier than watching it.

"I can't believe this is actually happening. . ." Tucker said looking around almost fearfully.

"Just relax. It's not like anything weirder is going to happen . . ." Sam reassured with an annoyed sigh.

When Sam made it to the door, she pressed the small flower shaped doorbell and waited.

It seemed like several minutes, loud barking, and grumbles later that someone came to the door. She was a thin figure with blonde hair. If she hadn't been wearing a loose t-shirt and baggy pants Sam would have recognized a satellite like that immediately.

"Dad! Someone's at the-" but her words faltered as she saw Tucker and Sam standing in front of her, mouths agape as they processed the information.

"Star?" Sam asked with disbelief.

After making sure there were no surprise inhabitants of the Lancer house in the basement, Danny let go of Taylor's hand, making them both tangible again.

"This place really needs a fashion update," Taylor remarked as she put her hair up into a tight bun.

"It would be easier to find the box that way. . ." Danny said gesturing to the tons of boxes all around.

Taylor and Danny shrugged and smiled at each other, then Taylor get out her portable Specter Detector.

"Alright. . . how do I use this again?"

Taylor pushed the small button, watched it glow, then aimed her arm at the boxes. A light green glow scanned all of them until.

WEEEWOOWEEEWOOOWEEEWEEEEOOOOOOOO

"Gah!" she screeched, smacking it to try to get the noise to stop. Danny gritted his teeth and sent an accurate blast at it, smashing detector off quickly , making Taylor flinch and leaving an awkward silence.

"Be thankful you have good aim Danny," Taylor said dryly as she brushed off the remains of the Specter Detector from her arm. Danny laughed sheepishly, then turned to the said box to get a closer look.

……

A dumbfounded Sam and Tucker watched as the completely awestruck star was lightly pushed out of the way by a grumpy looking Mr.Lancer

"Mr. Foley, Ms. Manson."

"To what do I owe this early in the morning reunion?"

Tucker and Sam spoke at the same time, jumbling the words up into an in-decodable babble. Lancer raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes.

"One of you." he demanded dully.

"Uh we need help with the essay. You did say you'd help us!" Sam said quickly.

Star stood to the side, completely distraught. If anyone found out Lancer was her father. . .she'd just die. Paulina and the girls would disown her for good! She was already on tight cords with them since she accidentally wore the same outfit as Paulina to school. Star was surprised to see however, that Tucker and Sam didn't look like they just walked into a Nasty Burger Salad Bar Freebee, they actually looked as embarrassed as she.

"Well. . .come in." Lancer said dryly, pulling open the door.

"Uh no!Um. . . we need help out here." Sam said with widened eyes, imagining the noise Danny and Taylor might be creating this very second.

"And why is that?" Lancer asked suspiciously.

"Uh because my religion forbids me to go into anyone's house until I tell them I'm coming two months before!" Tucker added quickly.

Sam gave him a slightly bewildered look, as did Lancer and Star.

"Uh yes. . . and you wouldn't want to go against a student's religion now would you?" said Tucker confidently.

Lancer weighed his options. If the brat complained, he'd be fired, and the sooner he helped them, the faster he could get back to reading Moby Dick.

"Alright. . . now what is it that needs help?"

Sam held out her 20 page essay with a small grin.

"Can you help us proofread? My mom said you would!"

It was no time before Danny's ghostly blue breath escaped from the confines of his body.

"I think we have trouble." Danny said cautiously as he stepped away from a moderately large box.

Danny and Taylor watched as the box shook slowly, glowed a faint blue, then bursted open. A massive gust of air hit them both, making them flinch and put their hands out in front of them. An eerie green glow blasted them as well as the newly made ghost portal came into view.

"Beeewarreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" came a gassy voice from nowhere.

Taylor's eyes narrowed as she pulled out her ecto-ray.

"I am the BoxxGhossttt. I control boxessss!" said the voice again. Suddenly he appeared, a blue spectral ghost wearing overalls. He looked very much like the plumbers Taylor had seen.

"Oh really?" she answered sarcastically.

"Do your boxes come in the color black?"

The box ghost shook his head "no," very confused.

"Then I'll just have to fry them black!"

Danny grinned at Taylor and said, "Nice one!"

"I know." she said confidently as she began shooting her ray at the box ghost.

"Gahhhhhhhrrrr!" he yelled as he began to float away.

". . . Ms. Manson. . . you're trying to tell me that you cannot spell your own last name?"

Sam shook her head yes while Tucker tried not to snigger.

". . . This might take awhile." Lancer grumbled to himself as he checked her essay with annoyance.

Several blast's later, the Box Ghost was safely in the Fenton Thermos.

"That was almost too easy." Taylor said as she held the light thermos in her arm.

"Bewaarre I will come out of this thermosssandddd. . ."

Suddenly however, a loud swishing noise was heard and the glowing portal illuminated a tall black silhouette in it's frame. Danny slowly turned to it to see no one other than Skulker himself, his bright metal teeth gleaming in the darkness.

"This wont be though. . ." Danny said with a calm look to Taylor who looked suddenly nervous.

"Ghost Child! How did I know I'd find you here?" he said in his booming voice, looking at Danny as though he were fresh meat. Then he fixed his eyes on Taylor.

"And if it isn't the Taylor Hecter child." he said evilly as he pulled his large gun out.

"How do you know me?" she asked quite suddenly.

"Everyone knows of Danny Phantom's girlfriend." he answered with a small shrug. Danny and Taylor both blushed slightly until Taylor said quite shakily.

"I'm not his girlfriend!"

"Girlfriend or not, you will be incinerated!"

Skulker then shot a large plasma ray at her, Taylor not knowing how to react.

Before she knew it however, the ray passed right through her, and she realized quickly that Taylor became intangible as soon as Danny came to her aid.

"Thanks!"she shouted to Danny over the noise of Skulker's growling and the whirl of the portal.

"We need to do this, and fast!" Danny said as he threw her plasma ray back at her. It had fallen, though she did not know it.

"Go and shoot the box, one on each side! The portal will close because of-" Danny instructed, but was interrupted as he put up a shield to block Skulker's attacks. Talyor nodded and ran to the portal. Then she began to shoot.

"Alittle rusty Skulker Alittle rusty!" Danny commented as Skulker kept missing him.

"I'm just getting warmed up ghost child!"

"Well allow me to cool you down!"

Danny stopped, planted his two feet on the floor and began to wail. Unable to escape the tremors, Skulker was slammed roughly into the wall. Meanwhile, Taylor had closed the ghost portal.

"Taylor! The thermos!" Danny shouted, out of breath as he finished his wail.

Taylor looked to Skulker with an evil grin and pulled out the thermos.

"Wait. . . no!" he shouted as he closed his eyes.

Like a thin strand of spaghetti, he was sucked into the thermos by a very proud Taylor.

It was silent in the room, and Danny looked extremely elated.

"Good job Taylor!" he said as he was about to hug her. When she looked back at him her eyes were slightly bloodshot.

"I got him!"

Then she began to laugh evilly, making Danny stop in his tracks and look at her with slight skepticism and fear.

". . . I mean. . .um. . . we got him!"

His thoughts were dismissed as he felt her body wrapped around him in a hug. He returned it with a smile and then they both let go, blushing.

"We'd better get back up to Tuck and Sam. . ." Danny said looking up.

Sam and Tucker meanwhile were being lectured by an irritated Mr.Lancer

"I've never seen essay's so bad in my life. You two go home and fix them! I'll check them on Monday!"

Sam and Tucker pretended to look disappointed in themselves while Mr. Lancer lead Star into the house. Before Star was gone from view, she gave Tucker and Sam a pleading look, begging them silently to keep this there secret. And then they were both gone.

"Man. . . Star has it bad. Mr.Lancer as her dad?" Tucker said with slight sadness as he looked to an uncomfortable Sam.

"Yeah, I know."

Suddenly, they heard a swishing noise, and backed away as a slightly tired Danny and Taylor toppled out on the ground in front of them.

"Ow. . ." Danny muttered as he rubbed his head.

"That. Was.The BEST!" Taylor said jumping up, holding out a hand to Danny. He took it and got to his feet dizzily.

"We closed the portal, got the Box Ghost, and Skulker all at once!" she summarized with a broad grin.

"Anything interesting happen on your end?"

"Nothing really! Except for the fact that Star is Lancer's daughter. . . and"

"Woah!" Sam finished as her eyes widened at the door.

Danny grabbed onto Taylor, who grabbed onto Sam, who did to Tucker, and they both went intangible.

Lancer's head poked out of the door suspiciously. He had thought her heard voices from somewhere. Figuring that it was his imagination, he closed the door.

Danny pulled on his friends and they began to fly away, Taylor enjoying the feeling of blasting away from her most hated teacher's house.

The air rushed and blew their hair around them as they went tangible yet again.

"Star and Lancer are realted?" Danny asked with awe.

"Apparently. . . unless Star calls everyone 'Dad'," Sam said, slightly smirking.

Taylor chuckled sinisterly and looked down at Tucker and Sam with an evil sort of look about her face.

"We can make her life so miserable with this information."

Sam and Tucker looked uncomfortably up at Taylor, and Danny looked down at her with amusement.

"Yeah, we could. . . but. . ." he shook his head slightly. "It wouldn't be right."

"So?" Taylor asked with a smirk.

"She torments Sam enough. For once I'd like to see her being the one crying."

There was a slight silence, and Danny frowned, not sure how to respond to that.

"Ah whatever." Taylor said with a sigh, taking the hit.

"It's just too bad that she wont ever get a taste of her own medicine."

And with that, they flew farther and farther away from the Lancer house, becoming no bigger than specs of dust in the air.

…………………

So now we REALLY can see Taylor's evil side. I think we all have one of those. XD But anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. We finally see a lot of ghost fighting. The next chapter really begins the story, and is going to be a long one so be prepared XD
