Thanks again for beta-ing, Purpose of Random! I owe you big time!
The guards looked both baffled and angry for a moment before completely siding with just angry.
"Jake! What are you doing?!" Sam screamed from her spot on the wall.
"Helping!" The boy shouted in response as he leaped out of the way of an oncoming specter and then blasted it from behind. The guard screamed in pain from the shock before falling to the ground.
"Jacob Fenton! I order you to get back under the protection of the ghost shield!" Sam ordered frantically. There was no way she was going to let her son fight against a mob of ghosts with barely and form of defense.
"Sorry, Mom!" He apologized while taking out another ghost, but was able to steal a weapon from his belt which he then fired at the same ghost, encasing him in the same goo that trapped his family.
With all of the noise, Danny began to stir.
"Quick, the older one is getting up!" One of the guards ordered, causing four to surround Danny and hit him with thick ectoplasmic goo that wrapped around his wrists and ankles.
"Dad!" The younger male half-ghost exclaimed in worry as he noticed Danny becoming bound. Unfortunately, that was all the ghosts needed. In that one moment, they blasted Jake and put him in a bind as well. He dropped the floor with the sudden force. Then that two of the ghosts picked him up and held him tight, preventing any chance at escape.
Danny gasped as he saw that his son was now trapped as well.
"Let my son go! He didn't do anything!" Danny ordered while rising to his feet even inside the bonds. Needless to say, the nearby guards instantly grabbed him in an attempt at restraint.
"Why would we do that? I think that Walker would be very interested in him." The guard sneered after taking a closer look at the boy. Then, he bent down to whisper into Jake's ear. "Isn't that right, Shadow?"
Jake growled at the ghost guard. The ghost's response was to merely laugh in his face.
Danielle, who was still unconscious, was wrapped up as well and all four half-ghosts were dragged by the numerous guards into a Ghost Zone Police truck. Jake, Abby, Danny, and Dani, now free of the binds around their ankles, were tossed roughly into the back before the guards closed the doors and took off.
The oldest half-ghost scooted over to his son who was sitting in the corner. Jake had his knees brought up to his chest with his hand-cuffed arms around them. His chin rested on top on his knees while he stared blankly at the floor.
"Jake, where did you learn to fight like that?" Danny questioned.
Jake didn't meet his eyes.
"Um…I don't know. I just…did." He muttered.
"No way!" Abby shouted from her spot. "That takes tons of training! I'd know."
"Your sister's right." Danny agreed. "Jake, what is it that you don't want to tell me?"
The boy froze. Luckily, he didn't have to answer because the back doors opened up and everyone was dragged out.
"Take those two to a cell." A guard commanded, pointing to Dani and Abby. "I think that Walker will want to have a chat with the other two."
The other ghosts obeyed. Before Danny and Jake were completely separated from the knocked-out Dani and the still-conscious Abby, the ghost man turned slightly to say something to his daughter.
"Don't worry, Abby. We'll get you out of here soon." He promised.
The numerous guards escorting Jake and Danny burst into another room. At the end, Walker sat in a big chair with a cruel smirk spread across his white face.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Danny Phantom. And, if my eyes don't deceive me, a new trouble-maker. Figures that any son of yours would be just as troublesome." Walker ranted torturously.
"What do you want with Jake? He's not even half-ghost!" Danny Phantom demanded.
Walker began laughing a mocking laugh.
"Trust me, Phantom. Your son is just as much trouble as you." Walker sneered.
Danny cast an anxious glance at Jake who was glaring daggers at Walker. Jake's eyes had turned to a bloody red.
"Are Jake's eyes…red?" Danny asked himself. "No. It's probably just the lighting. Even if he was half-ghost, they'd be glowing green, not red."
"Take Phantom away. I need to have a little chat with the younger one." The ghost ordered.
Ten guards were needed to complete the task, but they did it.
"I swear, Walker, if you hurt him, I'll…!" Danny claimed, but was abruptly cut off when the ghosts restraining him slammed the door shut.
After Danny was out, Jake spun his head to face Walker again. By now, he had gained enough control to turn his eyes back to their normal violet.
"So, the rumors are true, then? 'The great Danny Phantom' doesn't even know that his own son is half-ghost! A bit ironic, isn't it?" Walker scoffed.
"No, he doesn't know, and if you tell him, I'll beat you so hard you won't wake up for weeks!" The boy threatened.
"Calm down, punk. I'm not going to tell him. I just find it amusing." The ghost said with the mocking tone still in his voice.
"Oh, yeah? Well let's see how amusing you find this!" Jake shouted, transforming into Shadow and leaping behind Walker in a few flowing movements. He took the chain of his cuffs and brought it to Walker's throat so that the ghost couldn't move.
"Guards!" Walker called.
Instantly, more of the ghost guards burst into the room and pried Shadow off of Walker.
The warden straightened up once the ghost boy was off of him. "Hm. I may have underestimated you. Although, I shouldn't have expected any less from a child of Danny Phantom. It was a move that he would have pulled himself." Walker then turned to the guards. "Take him to his cell. Make sure that he's not in the same cell as the Phantoms. And replace those hand-cuffs. Use the new ones."
Shortly after, the guards entered the prison cell with Jake Fenton held captive between them. The boy's handcuffs had been replaced by two glowing purple rings around his wrists with an energy chain linking them. They roughly threw Jake into a cell opposite the one the rest of his family was in.
"Jake!" Everyone screamed, running to the bars. Dani was now awake as well.
Groaning, the youngest male Fenton pried himself from the floor to look at the three Phantoms.
"Hey, bro, you okay?" Abby asked with genuine concern, something she didn't usually show.
"Huh? Yeah." He responded, still a little hazy.
"What did they do to you?" Dani questioned, horrified.
"They just shocked me a little and replaced my handcuffs." The boy replied simply, not wanting to go into detail. Seeing their want to ask more, he quickly continued. "But we should really focus on getting out of here."
Danny nodded. "We can probably ambush them next time they come down and then we can make a run for it."
"But then they'll send more guards once the fight breaks out." Dani disagreed.
"Um, guys, I think…" Jake began, but was cut off by Abby.
"Well, what if Jake distracts them while we grab a weapon or two and knock them unconscious." The girl suggested.
"That might work." Danny considered. "But there might still be some witnesses who could alert Walker. We need something more subtle."
Jake sighed. "Guys?" he added louder.
"Like what? It's not like we can just ask them nicely to let us out!" Abby retorted.
"Guys!" Jake shouted, finally getting the Phantoms' attention. "I have a plan."
I just realized that this certain story is going to be just a little longer than the others.
Also, I have made yet another change to TLomHL. Yes, I know, way too many changes. But this one isn't huge. It's just that Cade turns into a wolf now. One reason for this change is...I can't draw panthers. I tried and it looked like a wolf. So, he's a wolf. Plus, in retrospect, he seems more like a wolf than a panther.
