Another sunrise greeted Amity Park as the birds and many small animals awoke to greet the day before the humans. Aside from police officers who had the late night shift there were two others who were active this early in the day. They happen to be Danny in his ghost form with his blue colored limbs and the Red Huntress, Valerie Gray. Thanks to Technus unwanted upgrades to her suit, Danny has a harder time dodging his one-time ex-girlfriend.
"What the Hell was I thinking taking a flight around this town?" Danny asked himself as he dodged a red beam that went over his head.
"You're not getting away from me this time Ghost!" yelled Valerie as she summoned three cubes with anti-ghost rays.
The strange weapons fired their beams causing Danny to dodge more of her attacks. The beams continued and destroyed a person's car, a street light, and blew a hole on the wall of someone's home. Danny took a quick glance and saw that the third beam almost hit a child's bed. His eyes flashed full yellow for a second as he turned yellow and vanished from Valerie's sight.
"What the? Where did he go?" wondered Valerie as her hover board stood in place.
Her answer was Danny appearing behind her and two long slash marks on her back. She winced in pain as she turned around to see Danny with his hook swords drawn.
"Now you've done it Ghost Punk," growled Valerie.
"That's enough Valerie," stated Danny as he glared at his ex.
"Only after you're gone!" yelled the Huntress as she charged up her new arm mounted ecto-gun.
Danny turned intangible as Valerie's beam flew towards him. The attack went through him as he flew down and turned solid. The next thing that happened was a police siren and a pair of police cars stopping just below Valerie. The police got out of their cars and had their guns pointed at her. One of the officers had a megaphone and started to speak into it.
"This is the Police. We have you surrounded, give yourself up Red Huntress," ordered the cop.
"What?" yelled Valerie as she flew off to avoid the police.
Danny managed to get home without anyone noticing. He floated into his room and turned human. He looked at his clock and saw that it was almost seven. He headed to the bathroom to take a shower. A few minutes later he got out and returned to his room to dry off and get dressed. He headed down stairs to grab some food before school. He entered the kitchen just as his dad left the basement/lab. Jack was carrying a belt with a circular device on the center.
"Danny! Take a look at my newest invention!" cheered Jack as he presented his new invention.
Danny looked at it for a second and tilted his head slightly. He noticed something about the belt.
"Dad, isn't that my old CD player?" asked youngest Fenton male.
"Uh maybe?" answered Jack as he avoided eye contact with his son.
Danny rolled his eyes after hearing his dad's answer. He grabbed a bowl and some cereal and poured the food into the bowl.
"So what does it do?" asked Danny deciding to humor his dad.
"Well son, this little baby is an expansion on the Fenton Peeler. I call it the Fenton Ant-Ghost System Thrasher," Said Jack as he put the belt onto his son's waist.
"What the? Dad what are you doing?" complained Danny.
"Now, in order for the Fenton Anti-Ghost System Thrasher to work all you have to do is insert one of these specially made discs into the control unit," explained Jack as he opened the CD player and inserted a CD into the player.
"And then what?" asked Danny.
"You press the play button," replied Jack with a smile on his face.
Danny pressed the button and watched as thick sheets of metal appear from the belt and start to cover his body.
"What the?" yelled Danny in shock, but calmed down after finding out that the invention isn't trying to kill him so far.
The metal covered his body, but left openings for all of his body's joints so that he can still move around. The helmet had a visor cover similar to a motorcycle helmet. The armor's color was dull gray. The strangest thing was the suit had six circles shaped like CDs. On the sides were pouches and the pouch on the left had CDs in it. Danny looked himself over as he now wore the armored suit. He flexed his arms and clinched his right hand. He looked at his dad who was practically jumping in anticipation.
"Well what do you think son?" asked Jack as he continued to bounce.
"This is some cool armor Dad, but what else does it do?" replied Danny.
"Well I haven't gotten the weapons set up for it yet, but when I do this baby will be a ghost's worst nightmare become reality," declared Jack.
'So long as it doesn't out right kill the ghost I might get used to this thing,' thought Danny. "Uh Dad," he said to his father.
"Yes Danny?" replied Jack.
"How do I get this thing off?" asked the Ghost Hybrid.
Jack's answer was him smacking his face signaling that he forgot to install the release system.
After a couple of hours trying to get the Fenton Anti-Ghost System Thrasher off, Danny was finally able to get to school. As expected he was very late, but this time he had a valid excuse from his parents. However, the main office didn't care and had him marked as tardy and have him serving detention. Normally Danny would be upset by this, but he stopped caring that the school has deemed him a troubled student and just went to his next class.
The next class happens to be health class with Ms. Tetslaff. He entered the class and saw that all of his classmates were staring at him. Tetslaff was glaring at Danny for disrupting her class.
"Fenton you're late," growled Tetslaff.
"So what else is new?" replied Danny as he handed her his note and headed for his seat.
No surprise Dash tried to trip Danny, but the Ghost Hybrid noticed and turned his foot and ankle intangible. He continued to walk to his desk as Dash began to wonder how Danny didn't trip. Nobody noticed other than Sam and Tucker as they were keeping an eye on Danny for different reasons. Sam saw Danny do what he did, but didn't disapprove of him using his powers because he didn't do anything else but walk to his desk. She was proud that Danny wasn't trying anything to hurt Dash despite the jock deserving a horrible thing to happen to him. Tucker on the other hand was slight angry that Danny used his ghost powers to avoid being humiliated.
'Oh sure he gets to avoid being humiliated by Dash because he can use his ghost powers, but I get laughed at by everyone after trying to ask a girl he knew out,' Tucker mentally ranted.
The rest of the day continued without much happening. There were a few times that Dash tried to harass Danny, but the smaller boy always managed to get out of it with no harm done to him. As for Dash, he ended up with bruised hands thanks to Danny dodging his punches. All the while Tucker watched from a distance and he became angrier as the day went on. The cause for his anger was not Dash, but Danny for using his ghost powers especially his strength.
"This stinks, I bust my butt off trying to get people to notice me, but Danny gets the attention as either Fenton or Phantom just because he fights now," ranted Tucker as he walked towards the Nasty Burger. "And Sam just has to be all hung up on him even after he practically dumped us and decided to do whatever he wants," he continued. "I'll bet the only reason Sam even likes him is because of his ghost powers. If he didn't have those she would have just ditched him and went off with some other guy like Gregor or whoever he is," his rant continued as he reached the Nasty Burger. "Man I wish Danny didn't even have his ghost powers anymore. That would show him that he isn't so great without Sam or me," he finished as he entered the fast food joint.
Unknown to Tucker, his ranting was heard by the wrong person.
"Finally, a wish that I can use to not only my advantage, but for all other ghosts as well," said Desiree. "And you have wished it, and so shall it be!" she called out as she granted the dark wish.
As the wish was being granted Danny was about to leave detention and was heading for home. However, he noticed something was different when he stood up.
'What the Hell? When did I get heavy all the sudden?' thought Danny as he grabbed his bag and left the classroom.
On his way home Danny was stopped by Dash and his lackeys once again.
"Again Dash?" Danny sighed as he started to walk again.
"Yeah and this time you'll be the one kissing the ground," threatened Dash as he grabbed Danny by his shirt.
The blonde jock pulled his right arm back preparing to punch the smaller boy in the face. Before he could start Danny clapped his hands on Dash's ears hard. The larger boy dropped him to cover his ears as he screamed in pain. The next thing that happened was Danny driving his right fist into Dash's stomach. Dash coughed up blood from Danny's blow as the dark haired boy pulled his arm back. Danny looked at his fist and then looked at Dash who was now on the ground clutching his stomach and whimpering. Two of the jocks went to Dash and carried him away. The rest of the jocks actually ran off in fear of Danny.
'What the Hell just happened? I don't punch that hard and I'm this heavy either,' thought Danny. 'Wait a minute, the last time was this heavy was when I was full…' he realized as he tried to turn into his ghost form. He concentrated for about a minute and got nothing. "I can't believe I'm about to say this again after dropping it, but Going Ghost!" he tried his old battle cry, but still nothing.
To make the moment worse Danny heard laughing coming from a certain female wish granting ghost. He turned around to see Desiree floating behind him.
"Feeling a little different child?" taunted the voluptus ghost.
"You," growled Danny as he glared at her. "What the fuck did you this time!" he yelled.
"Such language, do you talk to your mother like that?" Desiree taunted again.
"Answer me!" yelled Danny.
"I did what I always do. It just so happens that someone you know wished for you to no longer have your powers," answered the wishing ghost.
"Someone wished for me to lose my powers?" asked Danny. 'Only three people know about me be half-ghost who aren't ghost,' he thought. Suddenly, he remembered an event that involved meeting Desiree for the first time. "Tucker," he growled out the name of his former friend.
"Yes he made that wish, and now that you can't change into a ghost. I don't see why I can't tell the others!" declared Desiree as she started to laugh. However, she stopped when she saw Danny's smirk. "What do you find so funny?" she asked.
"Well seeing how Tucker is still jealous of me being half ghost. I can't really blame the little coward to wish for my powers away," answered Danny as he smiled at her. "You know I could just wish for my powers back, but I won't. I like to see how this stupid town will defend itself without me fighting," he added as he started to walk away. "Have fun granting all of those wishes Desiree!" he called out as he continued home.
The next day was surprisingly quiet with no ghost attacks despite Danny losing his powers. However, in gym class Danny was discovering that he had far more energy than he did before. The class was running the track and he was able to keep up with not only Sam, but was forcing the Goth girl to run facing forward. To say Sam was shocked would be an understatement. She along with all the physically fit students was finding it hard to believe that Danny can suddenly go from bottom of fitness to star athlete. Danny completed the run and was only slightly sweating compared to before.
'I guess Jazz was right about my ghost half being the cause of me always having a hard time in gym class,' thought Danny as he remembered what his sister told him last night.
Flashback
"Hey Jazz," called out Danny.
"Yes Danny," replied Jazz.
"I have a little problem and I need your opinion on it," requested the younger sibling.
"What's the problem?" asked Jazz.
"Well, apparently Desiree granted a wish that involved me losing my ghost powers," answered Danny.
"What? Who would make that kind of wish?" asked Jazz in disbelief.
"Apparently Tucker did," answered Danny.
"Tucker?" repeated Jazz.
"Yeah, but to be honest I'm not worried about that," said Danny.
"How are you not worried?" asked Jazz in a panicked tone.
"Because I feel heavier and a lot better," answered Danny. "I haven't felt like this since before the accident and I don't understand why," he explained.
Jazz paused for a moment and thought about what Danny was telling her.
"Well, it could be that because you were half ghost. You're ghost half was using up more energy than what your body can handle," Jazz theorized.
"What do you mean?" asked Danny in confusion.
"Well from what some paranormal scientist claim. A ghost would absorb energy from any nearby source. Kind of like how they claim that a ghost would be near them when temperatures drop thus creating cold spots. Since you are or were half ghost the closest energy source was your human half," explained Jazz.
"You mean my ghost half was feeding off of me?" asked Danny feeling a little disturbed by that concept.
"Sort of, but that half also gave you access to its powers. Rather than behaving like a parasite it acts in a symbiotic way. Your ghost half gets the energy needed to exist and you gain access to its ghost powers. It's beneficial for both halves," explained Jazz.
End of Flashback
Danny broke out of his memory by Tetslaff blowing her whistle and loud voice.
"All right everyone, fall in!" yelled the bulky woman.
The students gathered in front of her and lined up.
"In all of my years as a gym teacher in this school, I have never seen a student improve in such a short amount of time," said Tetslaff in a loud tone. "So tell me Fenton, how did you do it?" she interrogated.
Danny was silent for a while trying to think of a way to explain it without either exposing his now missing secret or make him sound like he was taking drugs. Suddenly he was hit with an idea that may just work.
"Well this morning my parents were working on a new ghost hunting invention and the stupid thing sent a shock into me. I'm guessing the shock hit something inside me and I don't know boosted my stamina and speed," Danny lied flawlessly.
Everyone was thinking about what Danny said. Due to his parents' track record in ghost hunting and inventions. There was always a chance that his parents did something that can be seen as dangerous. So the idea that they made something that could increase someone's abilities doesn't seem so farfetched. There were still rumors about how Danny's dad sucked his home into a parallel dimension.
"Hmmm, well then make sure you can still do all of that, if you whatever happened wears off," replied Tetslaff.
"Great," muttered Danny. "I'll try my best," he replied out loud.
"Good, now then class dismissed!" yelled the large bulky teacher.
The students headed towards the locker rooms to change and head for their next classes. As Danny was changing out of his gym clothes he noticed that Dash's waist was wrapped in bandages. He also noticed that the jocks were actually keeping their distance from him. Everyone had finished changing out and was leaving, but Danny was stopped by Tucker who seemed upset.
"You used your powers in gym today didn't you?" Tucker accused Danny.
"It's kind of hard to use powers I don't have anymore," replied Danny as he started to walk towards the door, but he was blocked by Tucker.
"Don't lie to me, I know you wouldn't get rid of your powers," argued Tucker.
"You're right I wouldn't, but you got rid of them anyway," said Danny as he glared at Tucker.
"What are you talking about?" snapped Tucker.
"Does 'So you have wished it, so shall it be,' ring any bells?" asked Danny.
"Yeah right, I never saw Desiree around here and I don't see how she has anything to do with this," argued Tucker.
"You don't need to see her for her to hear your wish," countered Danny.
"What makes you think she's even telling the truth?" questioned Tucker.
"She may twist a person's wish, but she doesn't lie about who makes the wish," replied Danny. "Now get out of my way or I'll move you myself," he threatened his former friend.
"Like you can really do that to your old best friend," gloated Tucker.
Danny narrowed his eyebrows at the dark skinned boy and said something that would shock him for quite some time.
"You are no friend of mine," said Danny as he pushed Tucker out of his way with one arm.
Tucker looked at Danny in surprise after he was moved away. What Danny just said to him caused Tucker to remember what Sam said to him.
I'm sorry Tucker, but I don't feel the same way as you do.
'Damn it, why couldn't she accept my feelings for her?' Tucker mentally complained as more memories came into his mind. This time they were Danny's words to him.
If you can't look me in the eye when you apologize, then I don't want anything to do with you.
'I looked at him in the eye this time, so why won't he just get off his high horse and just apologize to us?' Tucker mentally argued with himself.
The next few hours were filled with very little activity. Danny continued with the rest of the day with little interruptions aside from Dash sending him death glares that were countered with the smaller boy cracking his knuckles. The jock backed down easily thanks to his new found fear of Danny courtesy of his still injured stomach.
However, things were starting to take a turn for the worse as a large number of ghosts were getting ready to invade Amity Park. It was a random assortment of ghosts that didn't look too threatening. They were all waiting for a certain catalyst to signal their invasion.
Right in front of the Fenton Ghost Portal happens to be that catalyst. As known as Jack Fenton, Danny's scatterbrained father.
"Hmmm, maybe I can include a fudge dispenser into the Thrasher's components as the sixth weapon system," said Jack as he leaned onto the open button on the genetic lock for the Fenton Portal.
In an instant the army of ghosts exited the Ghost Zone without Jack's notice. As luck would have it Maddie was out grocery shopping so there was no countermeasure to the suddenly invasion, just another normal day in Fenton Works.
Sadly the normal day in Fenton Works usually means bad news for Amity Park as the ghost began to terrorize the citizens. As expected the ghost started to frighten the inhabitants as they chased after anyone brave or stupid enough to come near them. Over at Casper High, the students and faculty ran out of the school in terror. The only student not running was Danny since he was using the bathroom to relieve himself. After he washed up, he followed the large mass of living flesh out the doors. He saw Sam and Tucker looking at him as he walked towards the collection of students. Tucker walked up to him with a glare directed at him.
"So you're just going to let these ghosts roam around freely?" Tucker accused Danny.
"I would do something, but your wish incapacitated me," replied Danny in a smooth tone.
"Incapacitated? What are you talking about Danny?" asked Sam as she walked up to the two arguing boys.
"Tucker unknowingly made a wish that got rid of my ghost powers," answered Danny. "Now I'm just like everyone else. An average everyday human," he added.
Sam gasped at hearing Danny's answer. Tucker on the other hand snorted at his response.
"Yeah right, like I told you before. I didn't make any wish and Desiree was never around," argued Tucker.
"I made a stupid wish before and I never saw Desiree, but that doesn't mean she couldn't hear it," snapped Sam.
"Oh come on Sam. He's just lying because he doesn't want to fight these ghosts. Maybe he's scared," argued Tucker again.
"No, Danny would never lie about his powers and even if he was scare he would still fight," said Sam.
Before Sam and Tucker could argue further they were interrupted by a large ghost gorilla that landed in front of them and roared at the gathered students. The students screamed and ran away to avoid the ghost. One of the jocks tripped and was trampled by his peers. The gorilla ghost swung its massive right arm at Sam and Tucker, but Danny lunged forwards and pushed them away from the ghost's attack.
"Danny, you save us," gasped Sam as she got up.
"Yeah, but don't read into it. I only did it because I don't want anyone to end up like that guy," replied Danny as he pointed towards the down jock. "I may not have my powers, but I can manage just fine," he said as he ran towards the ghost.
"Danny!" yelled Sam as she tried to follow him, but was stopped by Tucker grabbing her arm.
"Sam, don't go after him. He's just trying to get you to use your feelings for him against you. I can…" started Tucker, but he was interrupted by a strong punch in the face by Sam.
"How can you say that when this is YOUR FAULT!" yelled Sam. "If you hadn't made that stupid wish to get rid of his powers we wouldn't have all of these ghosts suddenly attacking," she added in a low tone. "Were you that jealous of him to make that wish? Or were you always like this? Did Danny make you feel inferior just because he got ghost powers and you didn't?" she questioned him.
"What? No I never was…" started Tucker.
"You were, were you?" Sam cut him off. "You once said that you thought of me as more than a friend. Did you actually think that I can accept anyone who would sell me out to a ghost just because of a menu change?" she yelled.
"Sam that was a stupid mistake, I didn't mean for that to happen," explained Tucker.
"Tucker, if there is one thing I know about you. It's that you think about yourself more than others," said Sam as she ran after Danny.
Meanwhile deep inside the farthest reaches of Ghost Zone a red mass of ectoplasm was floating and taking form. The red ectoplasm let a loud roar as it flew straight for the Fenton Portal.
Back at Fenton Works Maddie ran towards the basement and found Jack. He was still working on the Fenton Anti-Ghost System Thrasher. Beside the belt were five CDs that were in a pouch.
"Jack hurry and grab the weapons! There are ghosts invading the town!" yelled Maddie.
"GHOSTS!" yelled Jack as he left the belt and CDs. "To the weapons vault!" he declared as he and his wife ran to said weapons vault and grabbed as many weapons as possible.
The Ghost Hunting couple gathered their weapons and ran into the GAV to face this invasion.
Just a few minutes after they left, someone entered house and headed towards the basement. He saw the belt and CDs on the table.
"This must be what Jack made and wanted me to test out," said the man as he grabbed the belt and CDs.
He put the belt on and placed its activation CD inside the activation system. The armor appeared in a matter of seconds. The man opened the CD player and placed in one of the CDs after removing the other one. He closed the lid and pressed play.
Hover Legs-play track
At that command two CD placements start to glow purple as a long flat black plate appeared on each leg. The plates have a single white cone on top next to the knees. The cone began to turn and the man found himself floating a few feet in the air.
"Whoa, this might actually work," said the mysterious man as he placed the other CDs inside his left pouch.
The armored person moved towards the stairs and dashed out of Fenton Works.
As Jack and Maddie arrived at one of the many areas the ghosts were attacking. Valerie as the Red Huntress was flying overhead using her new weapons on any ghost she came across. Sam was also helping by using the Fenton Thermos after sneaking up on a ghost bear that was terrorizing a couple of little kids. Maddie managed to find Sam and fired at some of the other ghosts from a distance. However, the older woman didn't think about the possible collateral damage from firing an Ecto-Bazooka. The ghosts were close to Sam and the beam almost hit the Goth girl. The ghost turned intangible and Sam was in the line of fire. She saw the attack coming towards her, but couldn't move. She was like a deer caught in headlights.
'Danny,' thought Sam as she braced herself for the hit.
However, she was rescued by an armored man, who dashed towards her and scooped her up and avoided the attack. Sam opened her eyes and saw a suit of silver armor with a visor covering his face.
"Danny?" asked Sam.
"Close, but no," answered the armored man.
"Who are you?" asked the confused Goth girl.
"Me? Just your garden variety human," answered the man. He set Sam down and turned to face the ghost. "You should get out of here kid," he told her.
He stood up and looked at the assembled ghosts that were facing him. The suit's sensors counted three in front and two more approaching. He flicked his wrist as he got ready to start fighting.
"Now, time for a little rampage," said the man as he used his hover legs to dash towards the ghost.
The first ghost, a giant spider lunged towards the man, but the armored human spun to his right to dodge the attack. He took out the Hover legs CD which caused the attachments to disappear. He landed on the ground with a thud as he took out another CD and inserted it into the player and pressed play.
Scissor arm-play track
With that command the CD placement on his right arm glow purple as a large gauntlet with a sword on the end appeared. The blade opened at the middle as the sword split in half and move like a pair of scissors. He spun around and used his new weapon on the second ghost the tried to attack him from behind. The second ghost was a Minotaur that swung its left arm at him. He caught the ghost's fist with his scissor arm and cut the fist off. Ectoplasm flew out of the ghost's severe arm like water coming out of a broken pipe as the ghostly Minotaur screamed in agony. He pulled his arm back and looked at what he just did.
"Okay that was a little over the top," commented the man as he took the CD out and replaced it.
Stinger fist-play track
Now his left forearm was covered by a large dagger over his hand. He looked the weapon over and shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, I'll give this one a shot too," said the armored man as he ran towards the Minotaur and punched it right in its gut.
After the weapon made contact, he felt a way of energy as the ghost was blown a mile away from him thanks to the weapon. The third ghost was a floating mantis and instead of fighting it freaked out and flew off. Maddie saw the whole thing and ran towards the armored warrior. Sam slowly walked up her unknown savior.
"Who are you and what are you doing in the Fenton Anti-Ghost System Thrasher!" yelled Maddie as she pointed her weapon.
"Now this is usually why I never come to family reunions," commented the man as he removed the visor to reveal blue eyes that are similar to Danny's. "It's been a while Maddie," he added.
"Vince?" asked Maddie in shock.
"Yeah, it's me sister," answered Vince.
"Sister?" wondered Sam.
"We're in-laws, from Jack's side of the family," answered Maddie.
"Speaking of which, where is my scatterbrained big brother?" asked Vince.
Vince got his answer when Jack was flung towards them by a ghost rhino. They also heard a car screech from behind and saw Jazz exit the vehicle with the Fenton Peeler. Jack got up and saw the armored suit and the eye behind the visor.
"VINCE!" yelled as he gave his brother a bone-crushing hug. "How's my favorite baby brother doing? I see you found the Fenton Anti-Ghost System Thrasher. How does it handle? Did you bring any fudge?" he asked as his brother tried to break free.
"Let…go…of me!" yelled Vince as he finally broke free of his 'big' brother's gripe. "Okay, in order. I'm your only brother, yes I found the crazy invention you wanted me to test out, it's a little too charged up, and no, I didn't bring any fudge," he answered.
"Uncle Vince?" called out Jazz.
"Yes that's me," answered Vince. "Now where's my nephew? And who's the other girl?" he asked.
Meanwhile back at Fenton Works, Danny entered the basement and was looking for the belt his dad made.
"Shit, of all the times for Dad to lose something," cursed Danny. Suddenly, he felt a strange chill that seems familiar. "What was that?" he asked as he looked for the source. He saw a red aura in front of him. The aura was changing its form and turned into a red version of him. "You're my…" he started as the red Danny nodded his head. Soon the red Danny turned into mist and entered Danny's body. Danny's body accepted the mist and turned into his ghost form with red coloring for a moment before turning blue. He smiled and flew out of Fenton Works.
Back with the Fentons and Sam, the ghosts were gathering around them. Above them the Red Huntress was being overpowered by five large eagle ghosts. One of them knocked her towards the Fentons hard. She crashed onto the ground, but luckily her suit cushioned her fall. She slowly got up and glared at the large number of ghosts, but couldn't do much because her suit wouldn't respond.
"Damn it, come on move," cursed Valerie as she tried to move.
The Fentons were out of ammo for their Ecto-Bazookas. Jazz and Sam were position behind the adults and were told not to fight. Normally Sam would argue, but agreed due to the thermos being filled up and the Fenton Peeler was out of energy. Just before the ghost got closer, one of the ghosts was hit by a black figure that performed a flying side kick.
"Well guess whose back?" taunted a familiar voice.
The assembled ghost hunters looked up and saw a black and blue figure with white hair and blue tips. He floated to the ground and faced the ghosts.
'Danny, but how?' thought Jazz.
'Did Danny get his ghost powers back?' questioned Sam.
"GHOST!" yelled Jack and Maddie.
"That ghost punk," growled Valerie.
"So that's the infamous ghost of Amity Park," said Vince.
Jack tried to get his Ecto-Bazooka to respond so he could shoot the ghost boy, but his brother knocked the weapon away.
"Vince, what was that for?" yelled Jack in anger.
"He just helped us, who gave you the right to fire at someone helping?" replied Vince.
"He's a ghost! That more than enough reason to attack him!" yelled Jack.
"That's right, in fact he's the reason these ghosts even come here!" agreed Maddie.
"From where I'm standing, he's taking responsibility for it if what you say is true," replied Vince. "Still, I doubt he's at fault since you two wrote to me about how you built a ghost portal. So I would say it's you two who are really at fault," he added.
As the three Fenton adults argued, Danny was dealing with the ghosts that decided to attack him. One of the ghosts lunged towards him, but dodged the attack and pulled out one of his hook swords. He slashed at the ghost's back with his weapon as he pulled out his second sword.
"Let's speed things up," whispered Danny as he crouched down, turned yellow and vanished from sight.
The next thing that happened was the ghosts being thrown around by an unseen force. Jazz and Sam watched in awe as slash marks were appearing on the ghosts. One of the ghosts was launched into the air with Danny just below him with his color back to blue. He caught the ghost's arms with his hook swords. The ghost tried to go intangible, but Danny did so as well. Danny started to spin into a somersault and threw the ghost towards the ground after four spins. The assembled ghosts saw what happened and freaked out and flew back towards Fenton Works.
"Wow, sometimes I forget just how strong he truly is," commented Jazz as her little brother flew off to take care of other ghosts.
"Yeah, he really is the stronger one isn't he?" agreed Sam as she started to think about it.
Off at a distance, Tucker watched the whole thing and glared at Danny.
"I knew he was lying," growled Tucker.
"Not at all child," said a sultry voice.
Tucker turned around and saw Desiree floating above him.
Author's note: Well that's all I have for this chapter. To be honest this was nothing more than a filler and an excuse to include a few things. One was Desiree who was more or less MIA throughout season 3. I introduced an OC in the form of Danny and Jazz's uncle. Don't worry he won't be a major character. He'll be more of a supporting character that helps Danny understanding his role in all of this. Another inclusion is Jack's newest invention with a very long name. It will make an appearance again with more weapons.
Another reason for this chapter is to show that Tucker resents Danny. I also threw in a little bit of Sam getting mad at Tucker too. If anyone feels that what Sam said is untrue, she was mad at Tucker for making a similar mistake that she made. For Tucker to unknowingly make that wish and refuse to believe that he is responsible was an idea I had for this chapter that may play a bigger role now that he is face to face with Desiree. I may have it where Desiree and Tucker form a temporary partnership, something a little different with him instead of him being shoved to the side.
As for Danny losing his powers being a slight good thing, well that was something I thought about when it comes to how a ghost survives in the human world that has little to no ectoplasm. I started to remember about cold spots and their relationship with ghosts. So I used the idea that Danny's ghost powers need a nearby available energy source, so Danny's human half fit the bill because he is literally close by and is an available energy source. So after the two halves were separated, the ghost half was so dependent on the human half it sought him out. Strange idea, but I like it so I went with it.
Also I like to know if anyone has any idea if the students are still freshmen or did they become sophomores after Reality Trip. I would assume they are, but they never clarified. All we got was that Paulina turned fifteen and that's not important other than to serve as a sub-plot with Desiree using the meteor shower happening on her birthday to become more powerful and freakishly bigger.
