"We're saved!" Tucker sang happily, jumping. Sam smiled at their savior, Alex stared. Danny did nothing.

Jazz parked, or crashed, before flinging the hatch open and diving out. The Speeder groaned as her body weight left it.

"How did all of you get here?" she cried out. Her teal eyes fell on her younger brother, and she shrieked, running to him.

"Danny! What happened to him, Alex?"

"Ghosts."

"Which ones?"

"I'm not sure. Here, take him for me," Alex transferred Danny to Jazz before going back to retrieve the head of Skulker. The flame on his head had gone out, as had the lights behind his eyes. An angry voice should have been shouting from within the head, but it was silent as Alex brought it back out to show to the others. Jazz had no idea who Skulker was. The small green ghost must have escaped.

"Jazz, do you have a first- aid kit or something?" Alex asked, tossing the head into the trees. Jazz nodded and walked back to the Specter Speeder, taking her brother with her and laying him down on the seat inside. She had taken a first- aid kit from the lab just before leaving. She tugged the box out of its small place under the seat and set to cleaning up the wounds on Danny's shoulder, head, ankle, and hands. She used a pair of tweezers to take the make-shift bandage away from Danny's shoulder. More blood began to flow from the cut, and she quickly covered it with clean gauze. Alex had come over, and was standing outside the door.

"He got the head injury before we got stuck here. The rest of it happened here. How did you find us?"

"I used a few of my parent's ghost hunting equipment before they though to use it."

"We're lucky that that disk thing found us. It's a tracker, right? Used to track ghosts."

"Y-yeah. My dad hasn't finished working on it though. Dumb luck, huh?"

Jazz turned away, busying herself with fixing Danny's ankle. She pulled his shoe and sock of before rolling the leg of his jeans up a few inches. Danny was lucky that he had been wearing low socks. If the fabric had gone past his ankles, it likely would have become stuck to the wound with the blood. As she applied some disinfectant to the raw area, Alex climbed into the Specter Speeder.

"Jazz, do you know? About Danny? I think you do. There's no way a ghost tracker could locate a human, right?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, Alex. Did you hurt your hand?" she tried to change the subject. Alex's middle finger was bent slightly, and was swelling, causing a lot of pain to him, which he tried to ignore even though that was growing to be harder and harder to do.

"I think Skulker broke my finger."

"Here, I think I have something to help."

Jazz tossed him a green bag with the Fenton logo on it, which Alex caught with his good hand.

"It's sort of like an icepack." She explained, "Just put it on your hand, and it'll become cold."

"Thanks." He sighed as the pack immediately went cold. He could have used something to clean up the dried blood on the back of his head, but he chose to ignore it.

"Jazz, all of us already know about Danny. You don't need to protect his secret from me, I won't tell."

She sighed, looking out at Tucker and Sam. She knew that they had been aware of Danny's powers, probably from the start. And now, Alex claimed to know.

"He doesn't know that you know, does he? Tucker and Sam too, they don't know."

Jazz looked up into Alex's eyes. Those eyes, they had seen too much. Why did he care if she knew or not? Alex must have had his own secrets, but Jazz wouldn't just snoop around to find out. She looked back to Danny, brushing some hair from his closed eyes.

"Yeah, I've known for a while. I'm not going to tell him that I know until he's ready. It's his secret."

F%**)&*$%#$*(&#&+)_&*_$#%&&((_#$#%**)&*)()_%$^^#&#*

"I think she knows." Tucker said. Sam agreed. How else would Jazz have known to use a ghost tracker to find Danny? After all, the Speeder had a real world item tracking devise, so she could have searched for all of them at once.

"We can't change that. Do you think she knows how to get out of here?"

"Not a chance. She probably had her eyes only on that disk the whole time she came here."

F%**)&*$%#$*(&#&+)_&*_$#%&&((_#$#%**)&*)()_%$^^#&#*

Danny gasped, shivering as a wisp of blue air escaped his lips. Neither Jazz nor Alex knew that this was his ghost sense. Alex jumped out to run over to the others.

"Something is wrong with Danny. Blue air just-"

"His ghost sense. It means a ghost is nearby." Sam explained.

"Great. I wonder who it is." Alex glared around him, holding his injured hand to his chest.

She and Tucker cried out when the ghost materialized behind Alex.

"Plasmius!"

Vlad did nothing to attack, only held a hand up to signal that he had something to say. Alex replied with delivering a roundhouse kick, knocking the ghost back.

F%**)&*$%#$*(&#&+)_&*_$#%&&((_#$#%**)&*)()_%$^^#&#*

Jazz was washing her hands off in the extremely cramped bathroom, recently added, to the back of the Speeder.

The bathroom had been her father's idea. She always thought it was stupid, but she was thankful for the sink and the ability to wash her hands.

When she turned to leave, she could see that Danny was sitting up, because she had left the door open. He was leaning slightly, and held his hands over his side. Jazz stayed hidden, as hard as it was for her at the moment.

Danny stared out of the front window. He could easily see Plasmius, how long would it take for the man to see him?

F%**)&*$%#$*(&#&+)_&*_$#%&&((_#$#%**)&*)()_%$^^#&#*

"Why can't he just go away?!" Danny thought. He was angry at what Vlad had put everyone through, but he was also a little scared at what he could still do.

Danny felt his shoulders shiver, causing him to wince in pain. He wasn't scared enough of the older halfa to shiver. He wished he had a jacket, a torn up shirt was pretty poor when it came to keeping someone warm.

"Danny?" Jazz called softly. Her brother flinched in surprise before turning around to face her.

"Danny, what happened to you?"

Jazz walked over and sat next to him, trying to distract him from the events occurring outside the bubble of Fenton tech. She should have picked a different topic.

"I don't want to talk about it, Jazz."

He actually did though. How could he tell her though?

F%**)&*$%#$*(&#&+)_&*_$#%&&((_#$#%**)&*)()_%$^^#&#*

"Come to do more damage?" Alex said acidly. He continued to cradle his arm weakly, but his glare at the ghost was fierce enough to make up for it.

"I just came to see Daniel-"

Sam cut his words short, throwing a piece of rubble at his head.

"Like hell you wanted to see him!" she yelled.

"Where is he?"

"Get lost!" Tucker shouted.

Vlad sighed, rolling one shoulder, where Sam had hit him. At this moment, he sensed something, and turned around to see the Specter Speeder, with the two Fenton children inside. Jasmine was slightly leaning on Daniel, shielding him with her arms.

F%**)&*$%#$*(&#&+)_&*_$#%&&((_#$#%**)&*)()_%$^^#&#*

Alex, Sam, and Tucker ran at Plasmius, the latter tackling him to the ground. Alex continued running, stopping at the door of the Speeder and jumping in.

"Do you have any weapons?" Alex asked. Jazz nodded with a frown,

"Alex you're in no condition to jump into a fight. Your face has no color in it, and your hand looks terrible. Let the others fight."

"Just give me something! The ghost is coming!"

Plasmius was, intangibly. He had phased through Sam and Tucker, and was taking his time walking to the others.

"Jazz, watch out," Danny said, moving weakly around her to get to the main controls. Within a second, he had shot Plasmius back, knocking him away.

Sam and Tucker ran over, diving in the Speeder. The Specter Speeder roared to life once more and took off, leaving Skulker's island, and Plasmius, behind.

F%**)&*$%#$*(&#&+)_&*_$#%&&((_#$#%**)&*)()_%$^^#&#*

Danny was flooring the controls, making a wide arc to turn around, over the island. The portal was now somewhere in front of him in the green abyss.

"Danny, do you know where you're going?" Jazz asked, worried. She didn't know that he'd already been to Skulker's island before.

"What about that ghost?" Alex asked "He's probably following us."

"If he's following us, we'll know." Danny relied, not really paying attention. His mind was focused on other things.

If Vlad had really folded and allowed Skulker to kill him, then he would have been dead. Also the man shouldn't have had to come back, unless he came for the others. Danny knew that this wasn't the case. Vlad would have just grabbed them and flown away.

It was all a lie! Even though he seemed to regret all that he had done, Vlad must have changed his mind, and come back. He knew that the others would find the young halfa before the time limit was up. Now, he was either testing them, or he was just chasing them around until they were where he wanted them to be.

Danny wished that the Speeder had rear- view mirrors equipped.

F%**)&*$%#$*(&#&+)_&*_$#%&&((_#$#%**)&*)()_%$^^#&#*

They were approaching the edge of the island. Skulker had done something to the small area: the ground was covered in strange plants.

Unbeknownst to them, Skulker had been growing blood blossoms, with the help of small robots. He had been planning on using them in the future to catch his prey, but that plan had been halted. Seeing as Skulker was a ghost himself, he was unable to even touch the flowers to harvest them. What had been a small, controlled flower bed was now a wild field of flowers, a quarter of an acre long.
