Later that night Danny, Jazz, Frostbite, Cujo and Youngblood followed the trail of tracks that the forty thieves were leaving behind from their horses.

"I should've stayed with Desiree, manual labour beats danger anytime!" Youngblood complained. Frostbite just shook his head and said with a smile, "Oh come on! Where's you sense of adventure young one?"

They flew down to the bottom of the beach, the tracks looked fresher and fresher as the continued to follow them.

"Good the trails still fresh" Danny said. Jazz then shushed him and pointed the front of them, the forty thieves had just turned the corner.

They stopped flying and hid behind the rocks just at the corner, all of them were just standing there on their horses at the edge of the shoreline.

"Well they have no-where to go. We've got them trapped" Jazz said.

"WE?! They are forty thieves! We are you, a yeti, a girl, a dog and me. Wait don't count me" Youngblood exclaimed.

They all took another look and then Frostbite asked, "Why are they just standing there?"

The answer then came when the king of thieves raised his hand and shouted, "OPEN SESAME!"

On the other side of the water, the water surrounding a wall of a cliff suddenly began to bubble and then the ground shook as the wall split open and split the water to reveal a pathway leading to the other side which was revealed to be their hideout. All the thieves than ran straight across the pathway and entered the hideout.

"LET'S MOVE!" Danny ordered as he grabbed Jazz and began to fly.

Frostbite grabbed Youngblood and Cujo quickly and all five of them charged quickly as the water began to collapse around them and the wall began to close, they had just made it through as the walls sealed shut and all of them landed on top of each other. They all stood up and looked in awe as they saw what looked like an ancient city around them.

"This is incredible!" Jazz exclaimed and then added, "This city must be thousands of years old"

"I agree with you, this is incredible" Danny said as he stood up.

All of them then walked through the city to find the forty thieves, as they entered the city centre they hid behind some of the pillars as they discovered them in a meeting. Danny shushed them so they could listen in on the conversation.

"We could've have had all the loot from the wedding, but we had to follow the king's plan! This is what we have to show for our trouble in Amity. NOTHING!" Dan shouted angrily as he broke the table in the middle of the circle.

"This ought to be good" Goliath said to Lydia and Valerie with a smile. Valerie nodded her head in agreement and added, "Dan is truly ticked off"

Dan then walked up to the man in orange and said, "Your time grows to a close Jack"

"Jack? Our father" Danny said in realisation as he looked at the Jack standing in the middle of the circle as well.

"If you're talking about spilling my blood, well I just don't see that happening" Jack retorted with a smug smile.

"Then let me open your eyes!" Dan exclaimed and raised his hand to hit him, but was suddenly knocked to the ground by an ecto-blast and held down by Danny who was still in his human form.

"RUN! I GOT HIM!" Danny yelled as he struggled to hold Dan down.

Jack just gave him a confused look, Danny then said, "I'm Danny! Your my father!"

Jack then gasped at that, Dan rolled Danny off and as he did, Danny accidently dropped his dagger. Jack then picked it up and stared at it with wide eyes as he recognised the weapon.

"I don't know about your father boy, but I'll send you to meet your other ancestors!" Dan exclaimed and readied an ectoblast for the kill, Jazz then ran out and grabbed his arm and screamed, "YOU WILL NOT TOUCH MY BROTHER!"

Dan merely duplicated and tossed her to the ground beside Danny, Dan then once again prepared his deadly ecto-blast, Jack then grabbed Dan's hand and said, "Let them go! They are my children"

Jazz and Danny smiled up at him as they stood up after Dan got up and growled. The other thieves in the room gasped at what Jack said.

"I gave this dagger I made to my wife years ago, I told her to give it to our newborn son Danny" Jack explained to them all.

"Is it true?" Goliath asked still in shock. Valerie nodded and said, "They are the children of the king of thieves"

Danny and Jazz's smiles dropped and then Danny asked, "You are the king of thieves?"

"Like it or not boy, we're blood" Jack said as he tossed the dagger back to him. Frostbite, Youngblood and Cujo stayed behind the pillars in shock.

Jack then walked up to them and said, "Look at you two, I thought I'd never see you two again. Has it been so long?"

He gave them a small smile, but it stopped when Dan stepped in front of him and said, "Blood or mud, they are intruders! Especially the boy here! And we have rules about intruders"

"Dan is right" One of the thieves said. Frostbite, Cujo and Youngblood were suddenly grabbed in ghost proof chains and brought to the circle.

"They know our secret!" Valerie exclaimed.

"They have found our secret lair and has seen too much….The boy must die! They must all die!" Dan exclaimed.

"Wait! They're your kids though and I'm his friend! Show some mercy!" Youngblood said to Jack.

"Yes mercy would be so like you Jack, soft and weak" Dan said with a smile at Jack, who glared back.

Jack then looked at them all, thought of something and said, "Sure we could kill them or the boy could….never mind"

"What? The boy could what?" Goliath asked.

"Well they could….Oh never mind it's probably a bad idea" Jack said shaking his head.

"Let's hear it!" Lydia and Elastica said at the same time.

Jack paced for a second and them smiled as he said, "The boy could face the challenge"

All the thieves then smiled and agreed to the idea, much to Dan's dismay. Jack walked up and placed a hand on Danny's shoulder and said, "That settles it. My son will face the challenge"

Dan then stepped in front of Jack again and exclaimed, "And I will be the one to test him!"

Jack glared at Dan. Youngblood then said with hope, "A test? Doesn't sound so bad, maybe it will be multiple choice"

He didn't realise how wrong he was.
