THE MILLION DOLLAR GHOSTS
Wisconsin, home of Vlad Masters who was also known throughout the Ghost Zone as Vlad Plasmius, the evil half ghost. Vlad was currently in the Ghost Zone just outside his own portal to his home, floating in front of a glass box that contained a key that had a skeleton head on the handle.
"Ah there you are, the legendary Skeleton Key. With it I can open to any door, travel to any realm and free any prisoner" Vlad said.
He floated closer to the box, but then suddenly a giant four armed, red furry ghost appeared in front of him roaring in anger and baring his razor sharp teeth. He was known as Behemoth.
"And if you're the only thing standing between me and that…" Vlad said with a grin.
Behemoth then tried to squash him between his own two hands, he opened them to see but looked confused when he saw that he wasn't even there. Vlad then appeared right in front of him having transported right before he could even squish him, Behemoth then roared and fired a large amount of purple flames right from his mouth, Vlad however smirked and created an ecto-shield blocking the blast and leaving him completely unharmed. Behemoth then grabbed Vlad and held him with his two hands, but Vlad's smirk never dropped the entire time.
"HA! HA! This is going to be a snap!" Vlad exclaimed and then teleported out of his hands and reappeared in front of his stomach and delivered a powerful punch sending him flying in the air.
Vlad then duplicated three times, three of them blasted Behemoth with ecto-blasts while one held him still with ecto-rope made from his energy, Behemoth roared as he struggled in the rope, the real Vlad then flew straight towards the key but before he could grab it Behemoth broke the rope and wacked him with his tail sending him straight back through the portal, Vlad crashed onto one of his lab tables and then landed on the floor.
The other three duplicates were then sent through the portal by Behemoth and went straight back into Vlad. Behemoth's head then poked through the portal as the large monster had attempted to get through the portal to attack Vlad more.
"Very Behemoth. No more Mr Nice Plasmius" Vlad said as he stood up and lit his hand with ecto-energy.
He then walked over and prepared to attack him, but they both stopped when they suddenly heard noise coming from the ecto-filtrator and a green light was flashing brightly. Behemoth roared as he was suddenly sucked back through the portal. Vlad looked at it and saw what it was saying.
"Change the ecto-filtrator. Oh fudge buckets!" Vlad exclaimed and then turned intangible.
There was a huge explosion and the entire castle was destroyed right on the spot, Vlad however was completely unharmed by the blast as he was intangible. He then turned tangible and looked around.
"AGHHH! My house!" Vlad shouted. "I can always buy another one, but the key! I can't get that key without a portal! I'll need to find another working one…"
Vlad then stopped his rant and grinned as he transformed into his human half. He then reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a photograph of him with the Fenton's at the college reunion, he grinned at the image of Jack Fenton as he knew now where there was another working portal.
"I guess I'll just have to take Jack Fenton's!" Vlad exclaimed and then laughed evilly into the air.
The next day at Casper High Danny and Dayla were walking down the hallway with Jazz after she drove them to school.
"Thanks for driving us to school today Jazz" Dayla said. Jazz then replied, "No problem guys"
"Yeah sometimes it's nice to avoid the bus and quietly and anonymously slip into school" Danny said.
They all then jumped when red lights began flashing and a voice called out, "GHOST ALERT! GHOST ALERT!"
"Danny! Dayla! Hide!" Jazz shouted.
"Why?" Danny and Dayla asked in confusion.
"Um that's an excellent question" Jazz answered with a nervous smile.
Sam, Tucker and Andrew then came up to them and Danny asked, "What's going on?"
"Didn't you get the memo? The schools running ghost drills now" Sam answered.
"Ghost drills?" Jazz asked in confusion. Andrew then asked, "I heard about all this ghost stuff in the news and seen a couple here and there around the town. Are there really ghosts?"
"Welcome to Amity Park Andrew which has been named as America's most haunted town" Dayla answered.
They all then saw Mr Lancer walking down the hallway in a ghost mask shouting, "BOOOO! I AM A GHOST!"
"Whose that supposed to fool?" Jazz asked sarcastically.
"GHOST!" They suddenly heard Jack scream.
And speaking of Jack, he came running right into the hallways in the Fenton Peeler suit and aimed the gun right at Mr Lancer.
"Who is that?" Andrew asked. Dayla face palmed herself and answered, "My dad"
"I got the memo! And I know there are ghosts around here!" Jack exclaimed.
"Dad no! It's not a ghost" Dayla said. Danny then added, "Yeah it's an out of shape teacher in a mask"
"We'll see about that son! Eat Ghost Peeler spook!" Jack shouted and then he pushed the button activating the device.
The blast hit Mr Lancer dead on causing him to scream, the peeler teared away the mask, his pants and his shirt, leaving him in nothing but his singlet and boxer shorts that had the faces of William Shakespeare on them. All the students began to laugh at him hysterically and Mr Lancer covered himself with a picture of George Washington. Danny and Dayla covered their faces in embarrassment while Jazz sighed at the sight.
"WOW! He is out of shape" Jack said.
Mr Lancer walked up to them with anger and said, "I can't give you detention Jack Fenton, but someone named Fenton is staying after school"
"Woah! Look at the time!" Jack and Jazz exclaimed and then left Danny and Dayla behind to deal with Mr Lancer.
Later in the hallway during lunchtime, Dayla was at her locker putting away her books when Andrew came up to her. It had been four weeks since he moved to Amity Park and both of them though unaware were really starting to like each other, he had also became really good friends with her along with Danny, Sam and Tucker as well.
"Hey Dayla. So what happened with Mr Lancer?" Andrew asked.
"He's given me and Danny a huge amount of extra school work to do. If only he would do the same with Dash and the other jocks" Dayla answered.
Andrew laughed at that and said, "Yeah I noticed that happening a lot around here. Oh um by the way I wanted to ask you something. You know that huge geometry test we got next Monday? I was wondering if maybe you wanted to study together"
Dayla blushed for a second and then answered, "Uh sure. How about after school tomorrow at the Nasty Burger?"
"Cool" Andrew said.
Paulina then came up and asked, "Hey you're the new boy right? Well anyway I have something to tell you. I wouldn't hang out with a freak like Dayla Fenton or her other freaky friends, so how would you like to be part of the A-List?"
Andrew glared and said, "Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather hang out with people I know can actually be good friends. Oh by the way Paulina was it? Dayla, her brother or her friends are not freaks and if you don't like them, that's your problem"
"AGH! I am so out of here!" Paulina huffed and then walked off.
"Is she always calling you that?" Andrew asked. Dayla looked down sadly and answered, "Ever since I started this year, but don't worry I've been standing up to her and it's not so bad now"
"So I've actually heard about this Inviso-Bill and Inviso-Jane in the paper and seen them flying around but they don't seem to be hurting anyone. Are they actually bad ghosts?" Andrew asked.
Dayla became nervous at first but then calmed down and answered, "I don't think they are. I mean no offence to my parents who are ghost hunters but I think they're just misunderstood and all that happened with the mayor was a mistake"
Andrew nodded in agreement and said, "Me too" Dayla eyes widened at that but then smiled.
"Okay, ready to head for lunch with the others?" Andrew asked. Dayla nodded and they both walked off.
After school on that day Jazz, Maddie and Jack were all in the really messy lab talking about what happened at Casper High.
"All I'm saying is you might want to think twice before you barge in like that dad. You really got Danny and Dayla in trouble" Jazz said.
"Oh yeah? You think they're in trouble now?" Jack said as he gestured around the lab. "Look at this place! Danny and Dayla haven't cleaned the lab in weeks! The beakers are caked with goo and Danny hasn't even changed the ecto-filtrator in six months! That can't be good"
"And it'll be six more by the time we got done with all this extra work Lancer assigned us" Danny said as he and Dayla entered the lab with very heavy backpacks, which they dropped to the ground.
"Dad are you familiar with the term stay away from our school?" Danny asked.
"Sweetie relax. You both know your dad loves you and he doesn't mean to make your lives more difficult" Maddie said.
"By the way Dayla, what's this I heard about you going on a date tomorrow?" Jack asked with suspicion.'
"Dayla has a date?" Danny asked.
Dayla immediately blushed and exclaimed, "It's not a date! Andrew and I are just going to the Nasty Burger tomorrow after school to study for a test we got next week!"
"So it's a study date?" Jack then asked. Dayla sighed in frustration, "No it's not a date!"
Before they could continue the news came on and the anchor woman announced, "The hunt is on for the ghost kids"
"What?" Jack, Danny and Dayla asked at the same time.
All eyes were on the news as they heard, "As a result of today's false ghost alert at Casper High, the need for competent non-Jack Fenton ghost hunters in Amity Park has never been more obvious"
"Hey they said my name! Need for competent ghost hunters? What the heck is that supposed to mean?" Jack wondered as he fiddled with the Ghost Peeler. He accidently pushed a button and made goo splat all over him.
"Luckily a mysterious benefactor has offered a million dollar bounty on the head of Amity Park's most famous ghosts, Inviso-Bill and Inviso-Jane and has hired the best known ghost hunters to track them down" The reporter finished.
Danny, Dayla, Jazz and Maddie all smirked and said, "3…2…1"
Jack crashed through all the boxes filled with all different types of weapons, tipping them over and shouting while holding a gun, "Nobody's catching those ghost kids but me!"
He ran off and then quickly said, "Danny, Dayla clean that up"
The next afternoon at Nasty Burger Danny, Dayla and Sam were standing out the front of the restaurant where the ghost hunters were gathering.
"Danny, Dayla aren't you both worried? These are the best known ghost hunters in the world" Sam said.
"Sam they're the best known. They're not the best I mean look at them, The Groovy Gang and Scaredy Cat" Danny said as he gestured to a couple of people in clothes from the 60's and a huge black and white tiger that was actually more scared than brave.
The cat became really scared and jumped right onto the girl, digging its claws right into her skin. She screamed out, "AGHH! Like those are my internal organs dude!"
"Jinkies Scaredy Cat! You're like maiming her!" The boy exclaimed.
Suddenly two teens on motor bikes jumped out of the bushes and landed on the ground. Dayla then said, "Those are the Extreme Ghostbreakers"
The teens high fived each other and then the boy shouted, "You the man!"
"Actually idiot I'm a girl" The girl corrected. The boy then shouted, "And that's so extreme!"
They revved up their bikes causing mud to hit an African American man named Agent O and another man named Agent K who were wearing white suits.
"And the governments ghost fighting squad Guys in White" Danny finished.
The two looked at the mud that was on their suits and then Agent K said, "We have a cleanliness breach in shoulder section ALPHA"
"I'll fill out suit cleaning form number 87B OMEGA" Agent O said.
"I'll call our immediate supervisor to requisition detergent and fabric softener. LOCK THE AREA DOWN!" Agent K shouted and then the two took out two small blue glowing cubes and threw them on the ground which expanded into a dome like shield around them.
"It's a virtual whose who and who can't catch ghosts" Danny said. His eyes then widened in realisation as he said, "Which means he should be arriving any second now"
They heard the horn of the RV and the two Ghostbreakers screamed and jumped out of the way as Jack stopped the RV completely destroying their bikes.
"Sorry!" Maddie shouted from the window. Jack then said, "WOW! You should be careful where you park those things"
"We got nothing to worry about" Dayla said.
"Hey Dayla where's Andrew?" Sam asked. Dayla then answered, "He texted me telling me he's running a bit late. He'll be here soon"
Tucker then came up while holding a white ghost costume and said, "Since you two don't have anything to worry about then you won't have a problem with this"
He opened up the front of the costume and revealed on the front reading Boo-Yea Tours. They gave him strange looks as he put on the costume and said, "Thanks to Danny and Dayla we know the location of every ghost hiding in Amity Park. Tucker Foley's Boo-Yea Ghost Tours is bound to be a hit"
"BOO-YEA!" Tucker then exclaimed and then suddenly he was hit by green goo and completely covered in it from head to toe ruining the costume.
"In retrospect maybe dressing up like a ghost in a parking lot full of ghost hunters wasn't a great idea" Sam said with a frown. Dayla couldn't help but laugh when she said, "You think!"
All the ghost hunters then came up as Jack announced, "I got him! Me! Jack Fenton! Danny and Dayla Fenton's father!"
They both cringed in slight embarrassment. Tucker removed the costume and asked, "I'm not gonna grow a third arm am I?"
All the other ghost hunters began to laugh at Jack Fenton's goof up while Danny and Dayla face palmed themselves in embarrassment. They were both unaware that on top of a building not too far away from the Nasty Burger, Vlad along with his three ghost Vulture henchmen where watching them.
"Dance you big dumb puppet. Dance" Vlad muttered with a grin.
"I don't get it. If you just want to steal the portal, why not do it now while the Fenton's aren't home?" One of the vultures asked.
"Dismantling that portal will take time and while tearing down the portal I can tear down young Daniel's and Dayla's respect for their father" Vlad answered. "Assuming they have any. You know what to do"
The vultures then took off right towards the Nasty Burger, Danny and Dayla's ghost senses went off and everyone screamed and ran off away from the ghostly birds. Jack then stopped and pulled out the Fenton Ghost Fisher.
"Stand back everyone! I've got the home field advantaged" Jack exclaimed and then chased after two of the vultures.
"Like those aren't the Million Dollar Ghosts" The girl Groovy Gang member said.
"Then we should just kick back and watch this. It will be a riot" The girl Ghostbreaker said. The boy Ghostbreaker then exclaimed while high fiving her, "An extreme riot!"
Jack chased them down the footpath all around the restaurant, he then cats the line of the fishing pole and managed to snag one of the vultures by its foot and began reeling it in.
"GOT YA!" Jack yelled.
But the vulture continued to fly and pulled on the fishing line, Jack didn't let go as he was dragged along the road back to the front of the restaurant.
"I think he's giving up!" Jack shouted.
The vulture dragged him straight into the Nasty Burger drive through menu, causing him to let go of the fishing pole. The head of Nasty Nit fell off and landed right on Jack's head.
"Welcome to Nasty Burger. WOW! You're the worst ghost hunter ever" The voice through the microphone said.
All the other ghost hunters laughed at Jack as Maddie came over and began to pull off the head, Danny and Dayla felt a little more embarrassed over what happened.
"Guys! Do something!" Sam said.
"What do you want us to do? We can't go ghost with all these ghost hunters here" Dayla said. Danny then added, "Besides nobody's in real danger yet"
Suddenly two of the vultures picked up Sam and Tucker with their claws and carried them away screaming.
"And now they are" Danny then said.
They both snuck away from the area and hid behind the side wall, unaware that someone was coming up that way. It was Andrew and he was about to call out to Dayla when suddenly he saw a flash of light appear around them and watched as they turned into their ghost halves and then flew off straight past the ghost hunters setting off their ghost detection devices.
"DAYLA AND DANNY ARE THE GHOST TWINS?!" Andrew screamed in his mind. He then started thinking about how he noticed them go missing from class a few times and why whenever there was a ghost, they were gone and then it suddenly clicked.
"They are the ghost twins! No wonder they kept it a secret I mean their parents are ghost hunters! Should I let her know that I know now? No I better wait for a bit and just act like everything is normal" Andrew decided and then went inside the restaurant to wait for Dayla to come back.
Danny and Dayla flew at top speed catching up to Sam and Tucker but they were suddenly stopped by a couple of hands grabbing them by their throats choking them. They were tossed down onto a roof on another building, they both sat up and their eyes widened at the sight of their archenemy Vlad Plasmius floating right above them.
"Plasmius! What are you doing here?" Danny and Dayla asked in unison.
"Well let's see your father looks like a fool, there's a million dollars on your heads. What do you think I'm doing here?" Vlad shouted.
Danny and Dayla glared at him and then charged at him for a full frontal attack but they were stopped and Vlad just smirked and placed a shield in front of him, causing them to crash right into it and making them bounce back a bit.
Dayla glanced back down at the ghost hunters and asked, "So you're the one who hired these idiots?"
"Yes every idiot except your father. He's a free idiot" Vlad answered.
He then made a giant fly swatter out of ectoplasmic energy and slammed them back onto the roof, they both sat up and rubbed their heads in pain.
"DANNY/DAYLA HELP!" They heard Sam and Tucker shout.
They both looked over to the side of the building and heard them scream as the vultures dropped them but they both sighed in relief when they landed in the large garbage bin just outside the Nasty Burger.
"As much as we enjoy catching up Plasmius, shouldn't you be getting home to the love of your life?" Dayla asked sarcastically as they charged at him again.
Vlad threw a couple of ecto blasts at them but they both dodged as Danny then said, "Oh that's right! Dad married the love of your life! You're bitter and alone"
Just as they were about to throw a punch each at him, Vlad grabbed their hands with one of his and then started electrocuting them with his energy. They both screamed in pain as they both felt the electricity running through their bodies, hanging limp and shaking as he continued his assault giving them a smug look.
"Oh please children must I actually defeat you both with one hand behind my back, before you two realise your outmatched" Vlad said smugly.
Vlad continued to electrocute them for another ten seconds and then stopped just as they were about to transform back into their human halves, they both groaned as the transformation stopped and left them still in their human forms and limped weakly as Vlad still held onto them. They both looked up at Vlad wearily.
"Uh uh uh. We can't have you both pass out and change back into Danny and Dayla Fenton now can we?" Vlad said. He then got close up in their faces and said, "This might be your father's party but you two are the guests of honour! TA!"
He then threw them straight towards the Nasty Burger and they both screamed as they fell from the sky, because they felt really weak from being electrocuted they couldn't fly and stop themselves from falling.
"It's the Million Dollar Ghosts!" Agent K exclaimed as they all saw them falling.
All the ghost hunters including Maddie and Jack prepared their weapons, Scaredy Cat got frightened and jumped on the girl Groovy Gang member.
"Like how about a Kitty Krunch?" The boy Groovy Gang member offered and then suddenly the tiger became really brave and started growling at Danny and Dayla.
Sam and Tucker opened the lid to the rubbish bin and Tucker said in disgust, "That settles it Nasty Burger smells the same before and after it gets thrown away"
"DANNY! DAYLA!" Sam screamed as she saw them falling.
Danny and Dayla hit the ground and landed right in front of the ghost hunters, who then pointed their weapons in front of them ready to fire and capture.
"You know I think I liked it better when they were laughing" Danny said.
Andrew watched from the inside and was about to get out there to help but then stopped and saw as they sat up and Scaredy Cat growled at them. He then watched as Dayla just said, "Uh boo"
Scaredy Cat then got really scared and jumped right onto Agent O, digging his claws right into his face.
While they were distracted Danny and Dayla turned intangible and phased through the ground.
"Like shouldn't we focus on the ghost kids? Like before Jack Fenton does something stupid and he escapes" The boy member of the Groovy Gang suggested.
Jack Fenton then knocked them all over and shouted, "WHERE ARE THEY! WHERE ARE THEY!"
"Like that?" He then asked as they all stood up and glared at Jack.
They both phased out of the ground and then just as Jack was about to fire at them, they escaped and hid behind the wall of the Nasty Burger transforming back into their human halves. Jack stood there and saw all the glares that the other ghost hunters were giving him, he then slumped in defeat and left. Danny and Dayla came out from behind the restaurant and then Dayla noticed Andrew inside there and quickly ran inside.
"Sorry I'm late Andrew! There was uh an old lady who needed help with her cat" Dayla lied.
Andrew remained silent and just stared at her for a second. Dayla then asked, "Is everything okay?"
Andrew then quickly shook his head and answered, "Huh?...Oh everything's okay! Sorry spaced out for a second. Uh ready for some studying?"
Dayla smiled and sat down both hitting the books. Andrew then said in his head, "I'll tell her I know when I'm ready or when she's ready. She's got enough problems right now already"
They both studied for an hour and a half and then went outside. Andrew then asked, "So when do you want to study again?"
"Uh is Wednesday okay?" Dayla asked. Andrew nodded and answered, "Wednesday is fine. See ya"
Dayla waved goodbye and then left for home. The next afternoon Danny, Dayla, Sam and Tucker were all down in the lab. They both told Sam and Tucker about what happened with Vlad Plasmius the other day as Danny fiddled around with the ecto-filtrator.
"Come on guys! You can't tell me the only reason your billionaire archenemy is here to do is embarrass your dad" Sam said. Tucker then added as he wiped off some goo from his clothes, "And date their mum"
"Yes that's exactly why he's here! To make our dad look like a fool" Danny said but they were unware that Jack had walked into the lab as he continued, "I mean did you see the way those ghost hunters were laughing at him? How embarrassing! We're all gonna have to live with our dad's goof ups for the rest of our lives!"
Sam and Tucker saw Jack behind them looking down sadly as Dayla then said, "I do love him, I always will but there are times where he embarrasses me too"
Sam then coughed and then Danny and Dayla asked in unison, "He's right behind us isn't he?"
"Yes I'm afraid he is. If you need me I'll be upstairs doing something wrong" Jack said sadly and they all watched as he walked up the stairs looking down in the dumps.
"Nice you two wanna go upstairs and make your mum cry?" Tucker asked with a frown.
Danny and Dayla looked down and then Dayla said, "Great! We just managed to do Plasmius's job for him"
"Well there's only one thing that's going to make him feel better, catching a ghost" Sam said.
Danny and Dayla both smiled as they thought of the same idea, they both transformed into their ghost forms as Danny said, "And not just any ghosts, Public Ghost Enemies Number 1 and 2"
Jack was sitting in the kitchen looking down, feeling like a complete blunder. He was hurt by what Danny and Dayla said and actually started to believe what they said as he remembered everything that happened in the past two days.
"My kids are right. I'm a loser! I couldn't catch a ghost if one sprang right up in front of me" Jack muttered sadly.
Danny and Dayla then phased through the table, turned tangible and floated in the air while shouting, "BOO!"
Jack however ignored them so they tried again this time waving their arms around, "BOOOO!"
But Jack remained quiet by their appearance and continued to ignore them. They then tried shouting, "FEAR US!"
But that didn't work either. Danny then tried, "Hello? Ghosts right in front of you!"
"Oh what do you two want? Come to gawk at the big failure I suppose" Jack said bitterly.
They both were surprised but that didn't stop them from trying. Danny then answered, "Quite the opposite…Jack"
"Wow! I just called our dad by our first name" Danny whispered to Dayla who giggled a little.
"You two know me?" Jack asked. Dayla then answered, "And fear you. That's why we've come to turn ourselves in to you"
"Ah no thanks ghosts I'm tired of getting laughed at! I give up" Jack rejected.
"You can't do that!" They both exclaimed in unison. They both then heard Maddie shout from behind, "You're darn right he can't!"
They both turned around to see Maddie pointing the Fenton Weasel at them while shouting, "EAT HOT FENTON WEASEL GHOST SCUM!"
They both screamed as they felt themselves being sucked in by the mechanical ghost trapping device and although they struggled, they both couldn't stop themselves from being fully sucked in and now cramped up together inside the small space of the machine.
"Okay this wasn't part of the plan" Danny said.
"Jack you captured the ghost twins" Maddie said with a smile as she handed him the machine.
"I did? You're right I did! Me! Jack Fenton!" Jack shouted in excitement as he picked up the device in victory. He then turned to his wife and said with a smile, "You are the best wife ever"
He then pulled her in close and they both shared a kiss. Danny and Dayla gagged at the sound of them kissing and exclaimed, "OH GROSS! HEY WE'RE RIGHT HERE!"
Meanwhile Sam and Tucker were both riding a tandem bike while pulling a carriage that carried the other ghost hunters on the back of it, Danny and Dayla asked them to keep the other ghost hunters busy and since Tucker was currently running a tour guide business he figured that this was the best way he and Sam could keep them busy. They were just passing Casper High and man! They were both feeling tired.
"And if you look to your right you'll see Casper High…whose halls…have been haunted" Tucker said through panting breaths.
Sam frowned as she said sarcastically, "I know we told Danny and Dayla we'd keep these guys busy, but couldn't we have done it without exercise?"
Jack drove the RV right past them at top speed, following a map that was given to him at the Nasty Burger that would take him to the location on where he would collect his reward for catching Danny and Dayla.
"Jack Fenton will show them who the competent ghost hunter is!" Jack shouted with determination.
A few minutes later the moon had shone into the sky as Jack stopped at an alleyway which is where the map had taken him, he stood in front of the alleyway and said, "Hmmm funny place to claim an award"
He started walking through the alleyway dragging the Fenton Weasel by the house along the ground. Dayla then begged, "Please stop! You should know what you're getting into!"
"I know exactly what I'm getting into a bigger place in my children's hearts" Jack said.
"Thanks now we're crushed by space and guilt" Danny muttered. He then shouted, "Look you have to listen to us! All of this is a trap!"
"Oh please ghosts why should I believe any of you?" Jack asked sarcastically.
He suddenly became trapped by a large cage made from ectoplasmic energy, he tried to pull on the bars to get out but couldn't. Danny and Dayla then said sarcastically, "Does that answer your question?"
Vlad Plasmius then came phasing through the wall clapping his hands with a wide grin at the trapped ghost hunter in his cage.
"You! The Wisconsin Ghost!" Jack shouted in anger.
"Ah very good. All the pawns doing exactly what they're supposed to, leaving you two trapped and leaving your Fenton Portal unprotected so I can steal it and make it a Plasmius Portal" Vlad said.
"Wait a minute! You already have a ghost portal!" Danny exclaimed. Dayla then said, "Yeah we saw it in your lab"
"He has a ghost portal? You have a ghost portal?" Jack asked.
"Of course I have a portal! Well…I did. It up and exploded on me. Ah well that's what happens when you forget to clean the ecto-filtrator. Hmmm live and learn or in your case die and learn" Vlad said and then flew off into the air heading straight for Fenton Works.
"Uh oh" Danny and Dayla both muttered as they realised that the ecto-filtrator still hasn't been changed.
At Fenton Works inside the lab, two of Vlad's vultures where there removing the large bolts from the wall as they started to dismantle the portal. Upstairs Jazz was walking through the kitchen but stopped and looked around as she noticed that everything was dead quiet.
"Mum? Dad? Danny…" Jazz began to call but was cut off as Maddie covered her mouth and pulled her to the ground holding her close.
"Quiet! There are ghosts about" Maddie whispered.
Unfortunately the two vultures heard her as they phased through the floor and floated in front of them feeling a little insulted.
"Actually ghosts is a bit insensitive. We prefer the term ecto-Americans" One of the vultures said.
They both stood up and then Maddie took out a small pallet and threw it to the ground, causing smoke to explode on the ground and when the smoke cleared Maddie and Jazz were gone and running down the hallway of the house.
"Come on! We have to get to the weapons vault!" Maddie shouted. Jazz then asked in confusion, "We have a weapons vault?"
They both came to a large circular door and Maddie ran to the computer console and started typing in letters to open the it, however after she put the code in the door wouldn't open and the computer was telling her the password was incorrect.
"Darn that man! Your father changed the password, there's no way in!" Maddie exclaimed with a bit of annoyance.
They were both suddenly grabbed by the two vultures and phased into the vault as one of the vultures exclaimed, "Or out!"
They both landed on the floor inside the vault. Maddie then groaned, "Oh great! Now we're stuck!"
"How can we be stuck? I mean it's like dad would forget to install a handle on the inside of the door right?" Jazz asked. Unfortunately her hope was tarnished when she saw there was no handle but a little sticky note. She picked it up and read with annoyance, "Note to self: Have Danny or Dayla install handle on inside of door! Jack"
Back in the cage Jack was sitting on the ground in defeat and frustration. Dayla then tried talking to him, "Listen to me! We have to get to your house and fast!"
"Why? So you both can gloat while I lose my Fenton Portal and the respect of my two kids in one swoop?" Jack asked sarcastically.
"Your gonna lose more than that if your ghost portal explodes" Danny said.
"It's not gonna explode. I'm sure Danny or Dayla changed the ecto-filtrator, I told them both five times" Jack said.
"Did they clean the lab?" Dayla asked. Jack then answered, "No"
"Do they clean their rooms?" Danny then asked. Jack answered, "Dayla yes. Danny no"
"Uh would they…I don't know forget to install a handle on the inside of a weapons vault or something?" Dayla then asked.
Jack's eyes widened in horror as he stood up and screamed, "Great gollops of ghost goo! The portal's gonna explode!"
Jack picked up the hose of the Fenton Weasel and set Danny and Dayla free while offering, "Ghost kids you gotta help me save my family and if you do I'll set you both free"
"Ah you just did" Dayla pointed out.
Jack realised his mistake and face palmed himself in embarrassment.
"Good thing our dad's a lousy negotiator" Danny whispered. Danny then said, "Jack (Man! That's cool!) You got a deal!"
Danny and Dayla grabbed onto Jack and turned him intangible. Jack then said, "My tummy feels funny"
"Don't worry it happens" Dayla said and they phased him out of the cage and flying him through the air towards Fenton Works.
Meanwhile Sam and Tucker were still riding the bike and they had just pulled up on a very tall hill, both feeling very tired from pushing the pedals.
"And if…you look over here…you'll see the top of…this ridiculously big hill" Tucker gestured through deep breaths.
They all then watched as Jack, Danny and Dayla flew over them as Jack screamed in panic, "HAPPY PLACE! HAPPY PLACE! HAPPY PLACE!"
"It's Jack Fenton and the ghost kids!" Agent K exclaimed.
The Extreme Ghostbreakers pulled out scooters with rocket jets and then zoomed right into the air, performing some tricks and then landed on the ground chasing after them. Agent O pulled out a device out of the cuff of his sleeve and activated it, it became a large saw and he cut the pole that was attached to the cart they were sitting in sending Sam and Tucker rolling forward on one side of the hill and the ghost hunters rolling down the other side backwards.
They zoomed past the Ghostbreakers, Agent K pulled out two flat device that was sparking blue electricity and threw them at Danny and Dayla, the devices attached themselves to Danny and Dayla's chest and began electrocuting them, they screamed as they suddenly felt very weak and couldn't remain airborne. They fell straight to the ground and into the dirt, Jack was sitting right on top of them, he got off them and saw that they were buried in the dirt with only their hands pointing out of the ground.
Jack grabbed their hands and pulled them out, he placed them on their feet and they brushed themselves off, they both turned around to see that they were surrounded by the other ghost hunters, the Ghostbreakers were still zooming towards them on their scooters at top speed and showed no signs of slowing down, they screamed as they crashed right into the empty carriage.
They both just stood up however and shouted with smiles, "AWESOME!"
The boy Ghostbreaker then pulled out a glowing green happy sack and kicked it to each other before the girl Ghostbreaker kicked it right at Danny and Dayla, Jack however stood in front of them in defence and began shouting, "Look out for that happy…"
He was cut off as the sack hit him and covered him in a green goo and he finished with a frown, "Sack. Just so you know, I don't enjoy helping you two"
"Then don't! We can take care of these idiots. Go save our family!" Danny shouted. Dayla then corrected quickly, "Uh he means your family! Not ours!"
Jack then ran off, Danny then smirked as he already knew how to take care of the other ghost hunters. He flew up to the already frightened Scaredy Cat and shouted, "BOO!"
The tiger screeched and ran straight into all the ghost hunters and knocked them all down to the ground. Dayla laughed hysterically at them as Danny said, "Oh man this is just too easy!"
They both picked them all up in a huge pile and flew over to the Nasty Burger, they then threw them all in the large rubbish bin and shut the lid down. Dayla then picked up a small dog and place it in there while saying, "Get the kitty! Get him!"
They both held the lid down as they heard the cat and the dog fighting in there and one of the Ghostbreakers screaming, "This reeks! To the extreme!"
"Now to stop Plasmius!" Danny said and they both flew off heading straight for Fenton Works.
Down in the lab Plasmius watched as one of the vultures managed to removed one of the large bolts from the wall and fall to the ground as the bolt was extremely heavy.
"I don't suppose you could move any faster?" Vlad asked.
The vulture sat up and answered with annoyance, "We're two thousand and eight years old! Be happy we're moving at all"
Vlad suddenly felt himself being wrapped up by a fishing line, he turned around to see Jack Fenton standing there holding the fishing pole the line was connected too. He grinned and simply broke out of the line.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me! I get to waste you in your own home? HA! HA! HA! This is the greatest day of my life!" Vlad exclaimed and then commanded the vultures, "GET HIM!"
Danny and Dayla phased into the lab invisibly and were about to defend Jack when suddenly Jack stood there and held the Jack-O-Nine Tails in his hands and suddenly attacked the vultures with it. He hit the first one dead on instantly defeating him, he then wrapped the rope around another one's neck and sent it flying out of the lab and then wrapped it around the last one and threw that one out of the lab also. He then retracted the rope and blew the smoke off.
"WOAH! /AWESOME!" Danny and Dayla both exclaimed.
"Nobody's wasting Jack Fenton while his family is in danger!" Jack shouted and began to run straight for the portal was cut off by Vlad as he floated right in front of him.
"Oh please fool! Your family's in danger every time you pick up a butter knife! It's time somebody put you out of their misery" Vlad said still grinning.
He then punched Jack in the face and sent him flying right into the lab desk where the Ghost Gloves were sitting causing them to land right into his lap, he put them on while getting back up and said, "I may be a goof, I might mess up but when my family's in danger the gloves are off! Well technically they're on but you get the point"
Vlad charged right at Jack but Jack activated the ghost gloves and punched him right in the chest, he then slammed him right into the ground by his head and then delivered a punch right into his face. Danny and Dayla had never seen their dad fight like this before.
"WOAH! He's all over this" Dayla said. Danny then said as they transformed back into their human halves and turned visible, "Which means it's time to do our chores"
They both ran towards the portal and watched as Jack threw Vlad across the table, instantly getting rid of all the rubbish that was on it.
"Well the table is cleared" Dayla said. They then watched as Jack slammed him on a table breaking some beakers in the process.
"Beaker's are taken care of" Danny then said.
Jack then threw Vlad against the wall, Vlad sat up and threw an ecto blast at him which he shielded himself with a full rubbish bin instantly destroying that and taking care of the rubbish in one go.
"And now the trash has been taken out" Dayla said.
"Which means we now have plenty of time to…" Danny said as he began to work on the filtrator but was cut off when a robotic voice said, "Portal will explode in 30 seconds"
Danny then began to panic and managed to take the old filtrator out, he nearly dropped it but Dayla had managed to catch it in her hands.
"Danny where's the new filtrator?" Dayla asked in a panicky voice. Danny then began to panic until Jack handed him the new one and grabbed the old one off Dayla. He then said, "We probably should've done this any of the five times that you told us to"
"I'm sort of glad you two didn't" Jack said.
Vlad got really angry and charged right at them, Jack turned around and blew out all the ectoplasmic goo that was in the old filtrator all over Vlad who then screamed and stopped in his tracks as he was blinded by the goo in his face. Jack then grabbed him, his clothes were all ripped up from trying to fight Jack. Jack then pulled the lever and opened the portal and began dragging him to it.
"It's not possible! You're an idiot! An idiot!" Vlad screamed. But Jack smirked and said, "Maybe so but I'm the idiot to beat you"
Jack then tossed him in the air and punched him right in the chest and with one final scream Vlad was sent straight into the Ghost Zone and the doors closed leaving him trapped in there.\
"THAT WAS AWESOME DAD!" Danny and Dayla exclaimed with smiles.
Jack then came up and asked with a knowing look, "Aren't you both forgetting something again?"
"PORTAL WILL EXPLODE IN 5, 4, 3…"
They managed to change the filtrator in time and then later Jack was showing Danny and Dayla in the kitchen a simulation on what would've happened if they didn't change it in time on his laptop, they watched as the computer Fenton Works exploded in flames.
"There you see that's exactly what would've happened if you don't change the ecto-filtrator every six months" Jack explained.
"Why do you even have this simulation on your laptop?" Danny asked. Jack then answered, "So I never forget to tell you why it's so important to change the ecto-filtrator"
They all stood up with smiles as Dayla said, "We won't and you shouldn't forget this either, we're really proud of you dad"
"Yeah we are and we can't believe you beat that ghost back into the Ghost Zone" Danny said.
Jack hugged them and then they all walked down the hallway of the house as Jack started, "Ah thanks kids. So from here on out…"
"We'll remember our chores" They both said in unison and then Jack finished, "And I'll remember that my actions have consequences to others, especially my family"
They passed the weapon's vault which Maddie and Jazz were still stuck inside as they both screamed, "JACK! LET US OUT! DAD! JACK!
Jazz then said, "Man! That's cool"
Meanwhile Vlad was floating around in the Ghost Zone still completely shock that someone like Jack Fenton beat him.
"Unbelievable Jack Fenton beat me! Me!" Vlad exclaimed.
He suddenly felt the box that held the Skeleton Key behind him and he grabbed it with a smile as he said, "And yet here I am! Holding the key I've been searching for! Oh Jack Fenton even in success you fail"
A shadow then loomed over him and he heard a humongous roar, he turned around and saw it was Behemoth floating right behind him and in just two seconds flat he was swallowed whole along with the key and everything.
"OH BUTTER BISCUITS!" Vlad screamed from the inside, he's gonna be there for a while.
