Just pay attention to the announcement at the end.
The Fright Knight took a look at his surroundings and seemed very pleased with his work. "Excellent. Everything is the way it should be."
The ghostly knight then left, taking Amorpho with him so that the ghost would play no part in restoring the humans' normal identities. A moment after he left, the spider webs restraining the three half-ghosts vanished, letting them fall to the ground with a scream of surprise. With slight difficulty, they rose to their feet.
"Please don't tell me he said the spell is permanent at midnight." Shadow groaned, staring at the spot where the Fright Knight had previously been.
"Why? Not soon enough for you, ghost?" Abby snapped at him.
The boy turned his gaze to glare at her. "Considering that everyone's in danger, you'd think that you'd be able to stop with the insults for once!" He retorted, giving her a look that could melt through ice.
Danny stomped up between the two arguing teens. "Would you two stop fighting?! At least until after we save the everyone?!" He intervened.
"Hey, don't look at me. She's the one who started it. I didn't say anything." Shadow responded defensively.
"I did not!" She defended. "And there's no way I'm going to work with him!"
"Well, to tell you the truth, I'm not too fond about you either." The ghost boy countered smoothly.
Danny sighed tiredly. Those two were like oil and water, they just didn't mix. "Listen, you two. The town and possibly the world, depending on how far this spreads, is in danger. I'm going to need both of you to cooperate."
Both ghost teens looked away from each other and crossed their arms. It was a signal that they'd work together, but they wouldn't be happy about it.
"Okay, we have 'till midnight and it's eight now. That gives us four hours. (Hey, Danny's math improved!) We have to find the Fright Knight, beat him, get Amorpho…"
"Who's Amorpho?" The twins interrupted in unison.
Danny had a feeling that he was going to have one major headache by the end of the night. "Amorpho is a shape-shifting ghost. He was the one the Fright Knight was using to change everyone into those…those creatures. So, as I was saying, we need to get Amorpho and figure out how to change everyone back before it's too late."
With that, Danny took off, signaling for the two to follow him. Shadow and Abby stayed a few feet away from each other as they did. Typical. Suddenly, the three were hit with a huge blast and sent spiraling to the ground. They looked up in surprise, only to see a girl that looked suspiciously like a witch floating over them.
Shadow recognized her quickly. "Tori!" He gasped under his breath.
Tori looked almost the same as she had before the transformation, but with a few differences. The bottom of her dress was frayed as well as the edges of her sleeves. Her curly hair waved freely in the air and an evil grin had creeped its way onto her lovely young face. Lastly, there were her eyes. The friendly brown had been traded for a darker shade. They were so dark that they were almost black and dark shadows rimmed them.
"Hello, Shadow. Hello, Abigail, Mr. Fenton." She purred maliciously. "And goodbye."
Tori sent out a wave of red energy from her hands, knocking the trio backward. Their bodies tumbled over the unforgiving pavement. When they got up again, Tori was smirking. She was aiming her next blast at the two Phantoms, but was distracted by another voice.
"Hey, Victoria!" Shadow shouted from behind her with the clear intent of ticking her off.
The girl whizzed around. "No one calls me Victoria!"
"Well, at least there's still some of the old Tori left in there." Shadow muttered to himself.
Tori sent out two pillars of red energy that wrapped themselves around Shadow. The boy struggled as they took hold of him, but to no avail. The thick wires of energy constricted around his body, making it hard to breathe.
"Anytime you want to help out would be great!" He shouted to the two Phantoms.
"Nah, I think I'll just let her finish the job for me." Abby responded with a smirk.
Luckily, Danny didn't think that way. With a roll of his eyes directed at his daughter, he charged up to the fight and froze the energy, making it brittle enough for Shadow to blast through.
"Sorry about this." Danny apologized before creating some green goop that plastered the girl to a wall.
She started to wriggle vainly in an attempt to get out.
"Come on, let's go before we're greeted with more visitors." Danny announced.
Shadow made to continue flying, but was tackled out of the air by a large grey fur ball. The ghost boy's back was thrusted against the pavement and he stared up at his attacker. It took him a second or two, because of how altered and wolf-like the creature's features (He, he, that rhymes) were, but he knew this one as well.
"Matt?" He whispered, mostly to himself.
The beast snarled in response, raising a claw to swipe at his captive. Thinking quickly, Shadow used his legs and arms to thrust the monster from off of him. Matt was sent back a few feet, landing on his back. With wolf-like reflexes, he leaped back onto his feet, teeth bared. The werewolf charged again. He pounced onto Shadow, only to have the boy grab him and swiftly phase him into the ground.
"That should hold him for a while. Let's get out of here before he breaks free." Shadow ordered.
The three dashed to the Fenton (junior) household. Danny noticed that the shield was up.
"Looks like Sam put the shield up. Hang on, Abby and I will turn human, go inside, and deactivate the ghost shield." Danny planned.
The rings washed over their bodies, but nothing changed. Too bad they didn't notice that and crashed into the shield, bouncing back with an "oof!".
"What?!" Abby wondered staring at her still gloved hands. "Why can't we change back?"
Making sure that they weren't looking, Shadow quickly tried to change his own hand back, but all he got was a fizzle from the black rings.
"I think that since we were in ghost form when the spell was cast, we're going to be stuck in ghost form until it's gone." Danny announced grimly, receiving wide-eyed stares from both teens.
Okay, I have a few announcements.
1. This story is going to take longer to finish than planned due to certain complications (Tests, projects, writer's block, etc.) So I apologize for the delay and the extended finishing period.
2. I am thinking of changing both the title and the summary. If you would like to suggest a new title, feel free to. If you would like to suggest a new summary, knock yourself out.
3. I am currently working on the next video. It will not be finished for a while. If there are any scenes or pictures that you are dying to see, please submit them. Just try not to pick anything too complicated because I am doing this on Microsoft Paint and animation is hard to make. Also, if there are any songs around 3 minutes long that you would like to hear, please submit it (nothing with swears, please unless it is very minor). I already have one, but I am always open for new suggestions.
4. If there is any character or conflict that you would like to see appear, it may be of use and I would be happy to hear it.
5. The time between my updates may lengthen, so please try to be patient. I am doing the best that I can.
That is all...for now.
