TWO OF A KIND
It seemed to be a quiet evening at the docks of Amity Park, but soon the silence was broken inside one of the warehouses by the sounds of a fight going on. Suddenly a pudgy looking ghost came flying through the walls and landed hard against some boxes, Danny and Dayla then phased into the warehouse in their ghost forms. This ghost was wearing some workman's overalls, a beanie and gloves, he didn't exactly look that threatening, more like annoying.
The ghost got back up and exclaimed, "BEWARE! I am the Box Ghost! I have power over all containers, cardboard and squared!"
"Yeah, can we get this over with?" Danny asked looking board and then Dayla added looking the same, "We kind of got a test to study for"
Box Ghost then smiled evilly and exclaimed, "Study? There will be no time to study when you find yourselves crushed beneath the forgotten possessions of…" He then lifted some boxes up using his powers quickly read a tag on a box and continued, "Elliot Kravitts of Arlington Heights, Illinois!"
He continued to grin as he sent, the boxes towards them. Danny and Dayla merely turned intangible and allowed the boxes to go through them.
Danny then sighed and said, "We don't have time for this! Hey Tucker let's go!"
Sam and Tucker then bust the door open and ran in, Sam was holding a biology textbook and Tucker was holding the Fenton Thermos. Tucker then opened the lid of the thermos and exclaimed, "Good night everybody!"
He pushed the button, Dayla threw Box Ghost into the line of and with that it sucked the frightened Box Ghost in, he then put the lid on and said, "Perimeter secure"
"Perimeter secure? What are you a navy seal?" Sam asked annoyed.
Danny then landed and said, "Seals, aquatic mammals that bark. They're canines right?"
"Wrong! That's zero for twenty one. Dayla?" Sam asked as she looked through the textbook.
"Seals are sea-mammals and semi-aquatic, they have a torpedo shaped body which helps them to catch prey like fish and squid and to also avoid other predators such as sharks and killer whales" Dayla said as she landed down as well.
"Correct, that's twenty one out of twenty one" Sam said as she then closed the book. Tucker then said as he spun the thermos on his finger, "I'm no teacher, but I'm guessing that's an F for Danny and an A for Dayla"
"Come on guys! If you're gonna be superhero sidekicks, your both gonna have to be a little more focused. Sam you're supposed to be helping me study for the test tomorrow, since Dayla's going to pass and Tucker you're meant to be helping us catch all these ghosts, so I have time to study!" Danny said.
"What? They're all right here" Tucker said as he once again spun the thermos on his finger. But then it accidently fell off his finger and hit the ground. The force of the drop accidently activated the release button on the device and allowed all the ghosts they caught that night to escape.
"HA-HA! I am the Box Ghost! You cannot hold me, within the confines of a cylindrical container!" Box Ghost exclaimed and then flew off.
Tucker then pulled out his PDA and said, "That's weird, according to my schedule you two should be done catching ghost by now"
This earned him a glare from Sam, Danny and Dayla, while he merely gave them all a weak smile in return. The twins were unaware that at that moment, they were both being watched.
"Hmmm…Half-human, half-ghosts. Two of a kind. They'll make fine additions to my collection" Said a robotic looking ghost with a flaming Mohawk for hair as he looked at the two with interest, his name was Skulker the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter. Behind him was a cage, full of captured ghosts.
Box Ghost appeared and was about to touch the box until Skulker said without even looking at him, "Touch the box and your pelt will hang over my fireplace"
Box Ghost then got a little frightened and quickly said before leaving, "BEWARE!"
Skulker then looked annoyed, but then continued to observe Danny and Dayla through his binoculars.
The next day during breakfast, Jazz came in holding a magazine excitedly and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! They said yes!"
Maddie, Jack, Dayla and Danny then stopped what they were doing and looked at Jazz. Danny then asked sarcastically, "Who said yes? The person you asked if you were a conceited snob?"
"No! Genius Magazine said yes, they got my letter and they want to put mum on the cover" Jazz exclaimed and then screamed in excitement.
"Genius Magazine?" Maddie asked and then Jack snatched the magazine out of Jazz's hand and asked, "Genius Magazine? Is it the swimsuit issue?"
"Uh dad, genius magazine is for women geniuses, by women geniuses and about women geniuses!" Jazz said with a groan.
"So it is the swimsuit issue" Danny said, but then asked grossed out, "Oh gross! Mum's gonna be in the swimsuit issue?"
Dayla face palmed herself and said with a groan, "Uh men"
"It's the not the swimsuit issue! But it's the perfect magazine to show that I have normal parents, instead of a couple of ghost hunting freaks" Jazz said.
"They're not ghost hunting freaks" Dayla said.
"Hey kids, speaking of ghost hunting check out the latest in ghost hunting technology!" Jack said as he pulled a device away from Maddie and then continued, "The Ghost Gabber! Genius Magazine has to be interested in this. It takes the mysterious sounds a ghost makes and translates them into words you and I use everyday"
Jack then held the device in front of Danny and said, "Here try it"
Danny got a little nervous and simply said, "Boo"
"I am a ghost, fear me" The device said, Danny then looked up at his parents who gave him weird looks, Dayla then came to the rescue and exclaim, "We'd better get to school!"
"We'd better get to school, fear me" The device repeated, the twins then gave their parents weak smiles and ran out the front door.
Later that day in the library, Dayla was happy that she received an A on her test, while Danny looked down at his test paper and exclaimed, "I got a D? All this ghost hunting is taking away my study time!"
"How is it that you get A's Dayla?" Danny asked as he put down his test paper, Dayla then shrugged her shoulders and answered, "I don't know, maybe I inherited my brains from mum, so everything just comes easy to me"
"I can't get a D in biology, our parents will kill me!" Danny exclaimed.
"Not of you pull your grade up, by doing an extra credit biology assignment on this magnificent creature" Sam said as she showed an image of a gorilla with a purple backside.
"A purple back gorilla?" Danny asked as they looked at the image.
"Yep extremely rare. Only two left, both male after this they're gone forever. Which is why you are going to prove he's deserves to be set free" Sam said.
"And I'm going to do the assignment as well, so when I'm done whatever credit I get for the assignment will go towards grade and boost it even more" Dayla added.
"I appreciate the help guys, but I don't think I have time for extra credit. Or Sam's agendas" Danny said.
"Actually you do, you just need to learn how to manage it better. I've decided to become yours and Dayla's time manager. It's the least I can do, after Sam made me let all those ghosts out" Tucker said as he pulled out his PDA.
Sam and Dayla glared at Tucker as Dayla said, "Sam made you let out all those ghosts? If I remember correctly, you were the one holding the Fenton Thermos"
"Okay it was my fault. Anyway it'll be my job to keep track of your schedules so you can do your schoolwork and catch all those ghosts that got out. I even scheduled remember: not to let Tucker handle the thermos" Tucker said as he typed away on his PDA.
"I suppose we could have a trial period" Danny sighed out and then Tucker said, "I've scheduled some zoo time, so we can check out that gorilla. Let's go!"
The four of them left the library and headed to the Amity Park Zoo, unaware that someone had been listening in the whole time. Skulker phased through the walls and looked at the computer they were just using.
"Hmmm, so this is your pray ghost children" Skulker said smirking as he looked at the image of the gorilla.
A nerd by the name of Mikey then walked up and asked which earned him an angry glare from Skulker, "Excuse me sir? Are you finished with the computer?"
Skulker merely pointed his arms at Mikey and stuck him to the wall upside down in a web of sticky ectoplasm, he was also blindfolded by ectoplasm as well, he screamed in fright.
"You thought you could sneak up on me?! Skulker?! Ghost Zone's greatest predator?!" Skulker asked angrily, which only earned him a scream from Mikey again.
"Quiet! You're in a library" Skulker whispered and then fired another shot of ectoplasm on Mikey's mouth, cutting off his screaming. With that, Skulker left in a flash.
Dash and another football player came walking in the door and smiled as they saw Mikey on the wall.
"Woah! You do that?" Dash asked the other player, who shook his head and answered with a smile, "Nope. But I can always stop and appreciate high quality bullying"
The ectoplasm then disappeared, allowing a screaming Mikey to fall to the ground. It was late in the evening at the zoo, the four teens were in the observation deck watching Sampson the purple back gorilla.
"There he is, Sampson. So gifted, so majestic" Sam said as she watched the gorilla through the binoculars, the gorilla stopped moving for a moment and then began scratching his butt.
"Sam, we've been watching the gorilla scratching his butt for…how long?" Danny asked a tired looking Tucker.
Tucker looked at his watch and then yawned out, "Six hours" Danny himself then yawned and said, "Time flies when you're majestically scratching your butt"
"It's only a matter of time before you two find out something about Sampson, no one has ever learned. You two should go try and communicate with him" Sam said, but when she turned around she saw on the ground fast asleep.
"Uh wonderful! Tucker you're the time manager can you…" Dayla began to ask, but then Tucker himself was on the ground asleep as well. He yawned but then the two fell into a hug with each other.
"I'll do it, you wanna come Dayla?" Sam asked, Dayla then shook her head and said, "I'll wait with the boys, Sam"
"Okay, but first…" Sam said with a smile, she then pulled out a Polaroid camera and took a picture of Danny and Tucker. Dayla couldn't help but laugh at this, Sam then gave wry chuckle as she looked at the picture and said, "Boys hugging makes every year book funny. Don't worry Dayla, I'll make sure to give you a copy"
"I am so never letting Danny live this down!" Dayla exclaimed while in another laughing fit.
With that Sam left the observation deck, leaving Dayla behind. It wasn't long until she too felt tired and then fell asleep alongside Danny and Tucker. Ten minutes later, Skulker came crashing through the window of the observation deck, after fighting with Sampson and landed hard on the floor. Although making a loud noise, it wasn't enough to wake the three sleeping teens, Danny and Dayla's ghost senses went off but it didn't cause them to wake up, just to shover from the sudden coldness.
Skulker stood back up and looked at the sleeping hybrids, Sam walked through the door and noticed him and Skulker noticed her as well.
"OH MY GOSH!" Sam was about to wake them up, but was cut off when Skulker sent sticky ectoplasm over her mouth.
Skulker looked at his arm device and noticed it was now damaged from fighting with the gorilla as it fizzled for a second, he then smiled at the hybrids and said, "Now for the ghost children"
He was about to grab them, but then was knocked into the wall by an angry Sampson. The gorilla smashed his head against the table and then was thrown off by Skulker, he quickly recovered and charged at the hunter. Skulker quickly made himself intangible and phased out of the room, Sampson then banged against the wall and kept on growling.
Danny, Dayla and Tucker then woke up screaming from the noise, Tucker and Danny then screamed as they noticed they were hugging each other and then all three of them screamed as they turned around and noticed Sampson banging on the wall.
"Gorilla loose!" Tucker exclaimed.
"We got him! We're going ghost!" Danny and Dayla yelled in unison and then transformed into their ghost forms. The two then flew up to Sampson and grabbed him by each of his arms, they both phased him through the wall and began flying back to the cage.
"I don't know how you got out, but you're going back" Danny said and then they phased him through the cage, gently placed him on the ground and flew out the door. Dayla then pressed the close button on the panel and the door to the cage closed, Sam and Tucker then came outside.
"Hey guys, I meant to tell you. There was a…" Sam began to say, only to be cut off by Danny who asked while glaring at her, "I wonder who let the gorilla go? Sam?"
"Yeah! Wait till we tell everybody at school, you let out a four hundred pound gorilla" Tucker said, thinking that Sam was definitely going to be in some troubled.
Sam then arched an eyebrow at the boys and then pulled out the photo she took of them hugging each other in their sleep. Dayla then smiled as she said, "I don't think you two want to do that. Unless you want this picture to somehow end up in the school's yearbook"
Danny and Tucker were then silent and then Danny said, "Or we could just keep it our little secret"
"Yeah we have no proof she did it you know" Tucker said. Sam and Dayla then high fived for Sam's little victory.
The next morning, the four walked through the front door and noticed Maddie, Jack and Jazz in the living room with Connie a reporter from Genius Magazine.
Maddie frowned at the way her youngest children looked all tired and said, "Kids look at you both! I'm not sure I like this overnight zoo research"
"Mum come on! We're just a bunch of kids, in the zoo at night, alone" Danny said with a tired voice as his smile dropped.
Jack, Maddie, Jazz and Connie just stared at them in silence until Dayla said, "We'll be in our rooms" and with that, the four of them departed upstairs.
They all reached Danny's room as Tucker said looking at his PDA, "Here you go guys, home in time for some well-deserved rest" The PDA then began to beep and Tucker said, "But keep it quick because you two only have thirteen minutes"
Suddenly both their ghost senses went off and whatever sent them off was coming from Danny's room. They opened the door to see Skulker standing there smiling as he said, "Hello, ghost-children"
Danny and Dayla stood there in shock, but then Skulker shot at them trapping them both in a net and pulled them into Danny's room, locking the door before Sam and Tucker could help.
"DANNY/DAYLA!" Tucker and Sam yelled in unison.
Danny and Dayla sat there in the net, in fear of the ghost standing over them.
"The human ghost children in their natural habitat" Skulker said, his grin ever wider.
"Who are you?" They both asked in unison.
Skulker then said while showing a small cage filled with ghosts in the palm of his hand, "I am Skulker, a collector of things rare and unique and you two ghost children are that and more"
He then laughed evilly and stood on a model of rocket, instantly breaking it. Danny then got a little bit angry as he exclaimed, "Hey my rocket! I built that!"
"Do you know how long that took?" Dayla then exclaimed.
"Pity though, I hoped you two would put up more of a fight" Skulker said, giving them a look of disappointment.
"Oh don't worry" Danny said and then they both turned into their ghost forms and phased out of the net as Dayla exclaimed, "We will!"
Danny then charged forward and punched Skulker in the face, the force of it sending him slamming against the wall. Skulker then smiled as he gave them a predatory growl and began to fight back against them.
Sam and Tucker were pulling against the door trying to open it as Sam exclaimed, "That's the ghost from the zoo!"
"The twins?" Tucker asked in confusion, Sam then clarified, "No the other guy!"
More noises could be heard in the room, Sam and Tucker then both stopped pulling against the door when they heard Jazz yell, "Hello! What's going on up there?"
The two then ran downstairs to keep the others distracted from the fight going on in Danny's room.
"You know Connie, ghost hunting is the only thing my parents do. It's more of a side interest, what they're really into is…" Jazz began to say, but then was cut off by the loud noises coming from upstairs.
Jack stood up and then screamed in panic, "GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!"
"Kid's get down! There's a ghost in the house!" Maddie yelled to Sam and Tucker.
"Actually there's three…I mean too much homework to be done for there to be a ghost here" Tucker quickly said as he and Sam gave them weak smiles. Tucker then walked into the kitchen while saying, "I'll get some snacks"
"Yeah Danny and Dayla are upstairs" Sam said and then cringed as another loud bang was heard. She quickly said, "Uh, lifting weights?"
"They don't have exercise equipment up there" Maddie said, unsure of what was going on.
"MY COMPUTER!" Danny screamed as more noises were heard and then Dayla exclaimed, "Wait a minute! That's Jazz's"
"That's why their using Danny's computer" Sam then said, still giving them all a weak smile.
Tucker then watched as both Danny and Dayla came crashing through the kitchen floor, leaving a hole in the roof and breaking the dinner table. Skulker then came down and said, "Come ghost-kids! Time to see your new home!"
He then grabbed them both and phased them through the floor and slammed them against the lab floor. Tucker then glanced nervously as Maddie, Jack, Jazz, Sam and Connie came running into the kitchen, they looked at the broken table and Tucker quickly did a karate pose and yelled, "HI-YA!"
"What's going on?" Connie asked and then suddenly they all heard more noises, this time coming from the lab.
"Sounds like rats in the lab!" Tucker quickly said.
"Ghost rats, I knew it!" Jack exclaimed and furrowed his eyebrows.
"Don't worry! We'll get rid of them for you" Sam said as she and Tucker then headed towards the lab.
Skulker held Danny and Dayla by their throats in his hand, the two were kicking their legs in an effort to try and kick Skulker but it was no use.
"What are you doing?" Danny asked.
"Bringing you two back to my world, where I can put you both on display" Skulker answered with a wide smile at his soon to be victory.
"WHAT!" Dayla exclaimed.
Skulker ignored her and then pushed a button on his wrist which turned on the ghost portal and then exclaimed as he began to walk towards it, "HA! At last! Time to put you two in your cages!"
"NOO!" Danny and Dayla both screamed and just they were about to enter the portal, Sam blocked their path.
"No is right guys! Cages are wrong! How do you think Sampson feels about being in a cage?" Sam said while glaring at Skulker who said, "But…" Sam then exclaimed cutting him off, "He's a beautiful animal and deserves to roam free!" Skulker then said, "I…" Sam then cut him off again exclaiming, "Should be ashamed!"
Skulker merely gave her a look of annoyance, but during his distraction Danny and Dayla both managed to kick him hard enough to let them ago. As Skulker landed on the ground, Tucker was accidently knocked over by him, dropping his PDA on the floor.
Skulker then noticed the hand-held device and picked it up with wonder as he said, "That technology, so sleek, so advanced"
He then cringed at his damaged wrist device and then got an idea. He ripped off the broken one and replaced it with the PDA, which immediately fused with his robotic body.
"Hey I got three more payments on that!" Tucker yelled angrily, Skulker merely ignored that and swatted him away.
"Marvellous" Skulker said as he smiled at his new piece of technology.
Danny and Dayla then charged at him, But Skulker held his arm out and shot out a ray which hit them both dead on, they hit the wall with now handcuffs attached to their wrists and ankles and then slid down the floor with a thud.
"Way to go Tucker! Your PDA just made the bad guy even more bad!" Sam angrily shouted, Tucker shrugged his shoulders and asked, "How was I supposed to know my PDA was ghost compatible?"
"Say goodbye to this world children!" Skulker said and was about to grab them both again, when suddenly he heard a ringing coming from the device. He looked at it in confusion and read the message out loud, "Fly to library, and get a book on eating habits of the purple-back gorilla?"
His jet wings came out and suddenly he automatically began to fly out of the lab shouting, "STOP! THE HUNT IS NOT OVER!"
He quickly turned intangible and flew straight out of the house. With Skulker now gone, the cuffs on Danny and Dayla then disappeared, Sam ran over and helped them both off the ground.
"What happened?" Sam asked confused about what just happened with Skulker.
"Who cares? At least we both got a minute to relax and figure this thing out" Dayla said.
"Danny! Dayla! Where are you? Someone here wants to meet you" They both heard Maddie yell out.
They both then gasped and then shouted in unison, "MY/HIS ROOM!" and with that, they both quickly phased back into Danny's now destroyed room and then transformed into their human selves.
Maddie and Connie opened the door, Maddie then said, "Kids this is Connie, from Genius Magazine"
"Don't you people ever knock?!" Danny yelled as both he and Dayla slammed the door in their faces.
"Okay Jazz is going to kill us for that" Dayla whispered.
"I'm gonna kill them for that" Jazz muttered bitterly.
"Broody, messy, reclusive. Now those are the signs of true geniuses'. Uh if only the other one was a woman!" Connie said.
Before they left for school that morning, Connie had asked Dayla is she could be interviewed but she told her that she didn't want to unless Danny was included as well. So Connie left and told them that she would talk to her editor about it, the four of them arrived in front of the school, and the twins looked around to see if Skulker was around.
"Any sign of him?" Danny asked nervously looking around.
Tucker looked down at a brand new PDA and answered, "Nope. He hasn't bothered you two for thirty-eight minutes, maybe he's hunting somebody else now"
"How many of those things do you have?" Sam asked.
"Just two. Good thing I beamed both your info's here and backed it up, global thinking guys. The signs of a quality time manager" Tucker said with pride, his PDA beeped and then he pushed Danny and Dayla in the door and said, "Come on, you're both late"
As soon as they were inside, Skulker appeared and whispered, "Soon ghost-kids. Soon" and then he disappeared from sight.
First class of the day had finished. Danny, Dayla, Sam and Tucker went to their lockers to get ready for their next class. The hall was pretty empty, as soon as Danny and Dayla opened their locker, the two of them were suddenly tied up blow glowing chains that sprung from their lockers.
"DANNY/DAYLA!" Sam and Tucker screamed in unison.
Skulker then appeared in front of them, once again smiling in victory as he pointed his gun at them and exclaimed, "I have you now children!"
Danny and Dayla panicked at the sight, until suddenly they heard a beeping noise coming from his wrist. Skulker's smile dropped as he once again looked at the PDA in confusion and read out loud, "Go to the news stand and purchase magazines with articles about purple-back gorillas?"
Skulker's jets sprung out again and in two seconds he was flying out of the school, the chains disappeared off of Danny and Dayla who then rubbed their arms from the tightness of them.
Tucker looked at his PDA and said, "Hmmm, I have the same thing on mine"
"I think we should skip that one" Dayla said and then Danny agreed adding, "Definitely"
The four of them were sitting on the bleachers at the school's football ground, Danny and Dayla weren't exactly in the hungry mood, due to that were panicking about the eventful return of Skulker anytime.
"Guys, please eat something" Sam persisted, noticing their worried faces.
"We can't eat now, he could be anywhere" Danny said while looking around.
Tucker swallowed the rest of his sandwich and then noticed the carton of milk that belonged to Danny. He shrugged his shoulders and picked it up while saying, "Well this food was scheduled to be eaten"
But as soon as he opened the carton, two blue lights came out and attached themselves to Danny and Dayla's necks, the screamed in surprise and panic.
"DANNY/DAYLA!" Tucker and Sam yelled in fright.
Skulker appeared again and exclaimed, "Now once again. I Skulker shall…" but was cut off when the PDA beeped again, he looked at it and read out loud, "Visit the gorilla display at the Museum of Natural History?"
His jets came out and once again in two seconds, he was gone. The glowing lights disappeared as soon as Skulker was gone.
"Well at least he's regular" Sam said, still wondering what could've happened.
Suddenly a thought came to the twins as Dayla said, "Yeah it's almost like he's on a schedule"
"I think you're on to something Dayla. Hey Tucker, what's the next thing we have scheduled?" Danny asked.
Tucker looked at his PDA and said, "Gym, why?
The twins then shared a smile and had a feeling of what was going on. Later on in the boys locker room, Tucker and Danny were about to get changed out of their sport uniforms. Danny was about to open his locker but then stopped and smiled.
He turned around and asked Dash, "Hey Dash, I'm too weak and defenceless to open my locker. Can you open it for me?"
"Out of my way loser!" Dash exclaimed as he pushed Danny to the side and began to open the locker, as soon as he opened it, he was trapped against the wall in a large amount of sticky ectoplasm, he also became blindfolded in the process.
Skulker once again appeared, looked at Dash and simply said while looking down at his wrist device, "Hmmm, my sensors indicate you're an average human. Destined for an average life after high school"
Dash began to scream at Danny in anger, but only mumbling could be heard. Skulker turned around and saw his real prize standing there, he got an ecto ray ready in his hand and exclaimed, "I shall…" but was once again cut off by the beeping of the PDA, he looked at it and read out loud, "Take photos of gorilla?"
He slumped in defeat and annoyance as once again he was automatically flown out the room by his jets.
"Why is he going there?" Tucker asked.
"I'll tell you once we meet up with the girls outside" Danny said and the two got changed and then went outside the locker rooms to meet with Sam and Dayla.
IN THE GIRLS LOCKER ROOM AT THE SAME TIME…
Dayla was about to open her gym locker, and then she remembered there may be a trap already set up for her by Skulker. She then saw Paulina looking at herself in a mirror and asked, "Hey Paulina, do you mind opening my locker for me?"
Paulin glared and said as she walked over, "What? Are you too much of a freak to open it by yourself?"
She opened the locker and the same thing that happened to Dash, just happened to Paulina. She was trapped by sticky ectoplasm. She screamed in fright and struggled inside. Sam and Dayla laughed at her misfortune and then Sam took a picture of that moment with her phone.
The girls came out, the boys told them what happened and then Dayla told them what happened to Paulina, which they all laughed at.
"Okay so what's going on?" Sam asked.
"When Skulker put Tucker's PDA to his technology, he became bound to our schedule. He has to go wherever Dayla and I were going to go next" Danny explained.
"Which means it's time for the hunter to become the hunted. Let's head for the zoo, we're going to do something a little ahead of schedule" Dayla said smiling as a plan formed in her head and then the four of them left.
Later that evening, Skulker was hiding in the tree of Sampson's exhibit. He looked around, but there was no sign of Danny and Dayla anywhere, just the Sampson scratching his butt as usual.
"Where are they? According to this infernal device, which I cannot reprogram! The ghost-kids were supposed to be here an hour ago" Skulker said in anger. He floated down to Sampson and exclaimed in anger, "You were supposed to be the bait, you stupid animal!"
The gorilla turned around, only to reveal that it was Sam and Tucker in a gorilla costume. Sam then yelled out as they threw the costume off, "Sampson's not stupid!
"He's also not here. Can I take a message?" Tucker asked smiling as he pulled out his PDA.
"You two?! You'll pay for this!" Skulker yelled and then prepared a whole bunch of guns and missiles on his suit, ready to fire at them.
"Oh I don't think so" Tucker said and then pressed the screen on his PDA sending something to Skulker.
The PDA on Skulker's wrist beeped again, he looked at it and read out loud, "Time for push up? What?"
Suddenly the guns and missiles disappeared and he was suddenly forced to the ground, doing push ups.
"Stop! I can't stop!" Skulker screamed, Danny and Dayla then appeared in their ghost forms and exclaimed in unison, "We can help with that!"
Danny punched him a few times and then Dayla kicked him in a couple of times, the two then charged at him for a combined assault, but he dodged out of the way and aimed a missile at the both of them, but he was stopped as Tucker sent another command to Skulker. The missile launcher disappeared and a polisher came out and began roughly polishing Skulker's armour.
"Stop fooling around Tucker!" Sam yelled.
"Power him down already. Now!" Dayla then yelled out.
"Relax you two, everything is totally under…" Tucker began to say, showing off his PDA but was cut off when Skulker shot an arrow and destroyed it. He then exclaimed, "Oh man! I had four more payments on this one!"
"Tucker, your fired" Danny and Dayla said in unison.
Skulker then got really angry and said to Danny and Dayla, "Very well, I planned on simply capturing you two and letting you both live the rest of your lives in a cage. But now I will rest your pelts at the foot of my bed!"
"Okay, that's just gross!" Sam exclaimed in disgust.
"Well ghost-kids, any last words?" Skulker asked, glaring at the both of them in fury.
"Just this" Danny said. Dayla and Danny then patted their heads, did a hand motion with their hands and eyes and then beat their chests like gorillas.
"What are you two doing?" Skulker asked in confusion.
The both of them then began to scratch their butts and said in unison, "Calling a friend"
Suddenly the real Sampson came out roaring, catching Skulker completely by surprise and began to attack him. Tucker and Sam smiled in wonder and then Sam asked, "You two learned his language?"
"Well sure. All he does is this" Danny said as he once again scratched his butt.
The four watched Sampson attack Skulker, both cheering and also cringing as he ripped his arm right off and threw it near them. Tucker looked at the arm and said, "But I still don't understand why a ghost needed a high tech battle suit"
Sampson continued to roar and scream as he ripped Skulker's suit apart and throw the debris everywhere, Danny and Dayla dodged a few pieces that came flying towards them and the answer to Tucker's question came as Danny caught Skulker's head.
They saw little green legs kicking out and a small voice yelling, "Let me go! I am the Skulker! The Skulker! Do you hear me? Fear me!"
Dayla then pulled the legs and out came a tiny little green ghost, everyone then stood there in shock. That was the ghost that caused them all this trouble?
"I am the greatest hunter in all of Ghost World! You will all fear me!" Skulker exclaimed.
Danny simply smiled and said to Tucker, "Thermos please?"
Tucker pulled out the thermos, pushed the button and then Dayla dropped Skulker into the capturing light. Skulker screamed out that this wasn't the last time they would see him and then Tucker shut the lid on the thermos completing the capture. Danny and Dayla then transformed back into their human selves and high fived each other.
"Let's go home" Dayla said.
"But you both didn't get anything to use on your reports, Danny your still gonna get a D" Sam said.
"Oh that's okay, we stopped the bad guy and saved the gorilla. If that's all we got done, then that's all…" Danny began to say as he bent down to pick up the broken PDA, but when Sampson walked up to them, Danny took a look at him and then gasped as he discovered something and exclaimed, "OH MY GOSH!"
Two days later, a copy of Genius Magazine was being read out in Mr Lancer's class. Danny and Dayla smiled at their discovery. The cover had a picture of Danny and Dayla, along with Maddie and the gorilla that had a headline saying, He is a she!"
Mr Lancer read the article out loud to the class, "Brooding geniuses Danny and Dayla Fenton did what no other researcher dared to do. They got close enough to this rare purple-back gorilla to discover that Sampson was actually a Delilah!" Mr Lancer was in amazement and then asked the twins, "Nobody at that zoo bothered to see if it was a boy or a girl?"
"That's weird huh? Maybe they were respecting her privacy" Danny answered.
"Well Mr Fenton, I have to admit I am impressed. You wanted to get your grade up so badly, that you and your sister nearly got mowed by a gorilla. So your new grade combined with your sister's extra credit, B+" Mr Lancer said as he gave Danny his test paper.
Danny smiled at it and then the bell rang, everyone left except for Danny, Dayla, Sam and Tucker.
"Congrats on the B+ Danny" Sam said.
Danny smiled and then said, "I couldn't have done it without you and Dayla" He then looked at his sister and was about to say thank you, but then noticed she was a little frustrated.
"Dayla what's wrong?" Danny asked, Dayla then exclaimed, "Thanks to Skulker, his traps ruined one of my pieces of artwork I was working on that I kept in my locker. Ugh! I wish I had something I could take my anger out on!"
The four of them then gasped when they heard, "I am the Box Ghost! And once I empty you of your useless papers, your marvellous squareness shall be mine!"
Dayla then smiled as they turned around and saw the Box Ghost floating there. She had found her punching bag, she then said as she turned into her ghost form, "Hello misplaced aggression!"
"He's all yours Dayla" Danny said also smiling, Tucker then smiled as he looked at his PDA and told her, "You've got five minutes"
"Which is four more than I'll need!" Dayla exclaimed and then attacked poor Box Ghost who has been currently introduced to a new meaning of pain.
THE END
