Chapter 2
Danny, Sam, and Tucker were in a large metal room. The walls were lined with cabinets, weapons, and all manor of ghostly substance. However, the main attraction was a large glowing , swirling, green and black portal on the wall. It is where the three teens had come back into the human world, led by the Booomerang, a few days ago. The Fenton Portal, a vortex that led into the otherworldly dimension that few knew about called the Ghost Zone. This was only one of two man made portals in existance. The other belonged to a filthy rich madman named Vlad Masters, the original halfa.
"Are you sure about this?" Tucker asked. "What if we get lost again?"
"We won't get lost. Sam took excellent notes and we'll be paying close attention to where we are," Danny replied.
"I still don't see why we have to make our own map. Can't Frostbite make a copy of the Infi-Map?" Tucker retorted.
"We already tried that, remember?" Sam came back. "Something that powerful takes years to make. We can't just put it in a copy machine."
They climbed into the flying transport in front of the Portal. The engines roared to life, and it sped off through the portal and into the Ghost Zone. Sam carefully read over how to get back there, while Tucker drew a rough sketch and Danny drove. They continued this process for about an hour till they got to the final direction.
"And take a left at the Far Frozen. From there just head straight," Sam concluded.
Once he had taken the correct turn, Danny sped up considerably to get there more quickly.
"You getting all this down, Tuck?" he asked.
"Yeah, I got it," he confirmed as he continued to sketch the map.
He started going even faster, and after twenty minutes, he could see the unkempt shack up ahead. "Okay, there it is," he informed the other two, although for what reason he really didn't know, because they had already seen it. Tucker seemed to be looking even closer than either Danny or Sam.
"Is it just me, or does it look a little different?" Tucker asked. The other two began concentrating on it, and soon saw what he meant.
"Is that a light?" Sam asked.
"I don't know, but hang on." Danny put the pedal to the metal and made the Speeder go as fast as possible. After only a minute, he hit the brake and skidded (as best as he could, seeing as it was a flying craft) to a stop in front of it. It was very different from the abandoned little house they had seen a few days before. Now they could see lights and a fire in a small fireplace through an open window, but they still didn't see anyone. "Weird. Tucker, do you have that map done?"
"Yeah, dude. Here, take a look for yourself." The boy held out a piece of paper to the other boy. Danny saw a very well drawn guide to the otherworldly zone. "Okay, let's get out of here. I wanna find out more about this."
"Why?" Sam asked.
"I don't know. There's just something about this place that's bothering me."
He flew off towards the center of the Ghost Zone.
