Season 3 Episode 10
Claw of the Wild
"The WILDEST Ghost Story EVER!"
Summer has arrived again as the students of Casper High have been offered to go to summer camp for two months at Camp Skull and Crossbone, which was located by Lake Eerie. While Sam Manson was very excited to be going on a nature camp, his best friends, Dani Fenton and Tina Foley, weren't as excited as he was one bit about spending almost half the summer with their least favorite classmates like Daph Baxter, Kwyn, Paul Sanchez, and Skye.
"Summer camp! How great is this? We can go hiking, and canoeing, and exploring!" Sam said in excitement as they all sat in a bus as it drove them to camp, until he noticed Dani and Tina's glares. "I can't believe you girls aren't excited."
"Oh I'm really excited." Dani said sarcastically with her arms crossed. "Now instead of spending five days a week with these losers, we get to spend two whole months." Dani wasn't exactly thrilled to be camping again, since the last time she almost got mauled by rabid mutant ghost animals created by her archenemy.
"I can't wait to show you all the wonders nature has to offer."
"Does it offer a movie theater or a video arcade?"
"Don't worry, Dani. You bring the anti-venom serum, I'll bring the arcade." Tina said, holding a few game pads and then held up a game case for her to see. "Here's all the nature we need."
Dani smiled brightly as she took the game and looked down at it in amazement. "Rain Forest Demolition II?! Oh, sweet! Who wants to help build the virtual Fenton Acres?"
Sam sighed as he rolled his eyes before he looked at his camp brochure. "I'll stick to the real thing, thanks." He said under his breath.
On the brochure, it showed a perfect place to camp as it was sunny, the water was clean, and everything looked spotless. However, when he looked ahead through the bus's windshield, the camp was the complete opposite of what the brochure showed: it was old, ruined, and looked like it needs a serious need of an upgrade and needed to be refurbished. Also, it wasn't even sunny at all, it was almost completely cloudy and misty instead. Not what any of the teens on the bus were expecting at all.
"Good choice." Tina said sarcastically.
The bus pulled near the mess hall and dropped the students off after they grabbed their camping bags and then it drove off. They looked at all the cabins and the mess hall that all looked like they were about to fall apart, considering the conditions they were in. The teens began to regret signing up to go summer camping at a horrible location like this rusty place.
"Well, the brochure may be outdated, but at least that sign's accurate." Dani said as she gestured to the sign that said 'Camp Skull and Crossbone near beautiful Lake Eerie'.
"Creepy with two Es alright. In fact, this may qualify for three." Tina said.
"Come on, you guys, there's nothing scary about this place." Sam scoffed.
"Hello, pioneers!" They heard their teacher and vice principal, Ms. Lancer, say. They turned around and saw as her walked out of the mess hall wearing a Hawaiian attire with their PE teacher, Mr. Tetslaff, right beside her wearing camo pants and combat boots. The teens all gasped in shock that their teachers were there.
"Ms. Lancer? Mr. Tetslaff? What are you doing here?" Dani asked them as she shrugged.
"Please say just passing through, please say just passing through." Everyone muttered hopefully.
"Children, relax." Lancer said as she wrote on her clipboard. "For the next eight weeks, we're not your teachers." The students all sighed in relief.
"Better...we're your counselors." Tetslaff said, making the teens gasp in shock again. "So our hold of you no longer stops at three thirty in the afternoon; it lasts the whole entire long day."
"Before I burst into tears at the thought of my lost summer, can you tell us where the bathrooms are?" Mikaela asked urgently.
"There aren't any." That made everyone gasp again.
"Call of the Wild!" Lancer exclaimed, equally as shocked as they were.
"Suck it up, Lancer, you're in the wilderness. All the world's your bathroom." Tetslaff tossed Leslie a roll of toilet paper before she and Mikaela walked into the woods to 'go to the bathroom'.
"I heard this camp is haunted." Kwyn said nervously.
"Me, too." Daph said fearfully. "They say there's a monster in the woods at Lake Eerie."
"And two in the lake." Paul added before they all began sharing their haunting rumors about the camp while Dani, Tina, and Sam only listened, unfazed by this.
"Just what we need: amature ghost stories." Dani sighed.
Tetslaff blew on his whistle to grab everyone's attentions as they turned to him. "Pipe down, campers. This camp is definitely not haunted." She reassured his campers.
They suddenly heard a terrified scream as they turned around and saw Mikaela running out of the woods with a fearful look on her face. "There's a ghost monster in the woods! AND IT TOOK LESLIE!" He exclaimed. Tetslaff, Lancer, and the teens all gasped in horror as the trio all made looks of concern and surprise as they wondered what happened to Leslie and what was out there.
Theme Song:
(She's a phantom)
(Dani Phantom, Phantom, Phantom)
Yo, Dani Fenton, she was just fourteen
When her parents built a very strange machine
Designed to view a world unseen
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
When it didn't work, her folks, they just quit
Then Dani took a look inside of it
There was a great, big flash, and everything changed
Her molecules got all rearranged
(Phantom, Phantom)
When she first woke up, she realized she had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes
She could walk through walls, disappear, and fly
She was much more unique than the other gals
And it was then that she knew what she had to do
She had to stop all the ghost that were coming through
She's there to fight, for me and you!
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
Mikaela continued shaking and shivering in fear as Tetslaff wrapped her around a blanket. "Pipe down, soldier, there are no monster at this CAMP!" He shouted into the heavens.
"Tell that to the beast that just ate Leslie." Mikaela said fearfully.
"Beast? How big is a beast compared to a monster? Anyone?" Lancer asked.
"We should...check out the woods." Dani suggested.
"Negative. This camp is now under lockdown. Everyone report to your camps while Ms. Lancer and I will search for uh...Leslie's remains." Tetslaff said with his hands on his sides. Lancer and Mikaela both shrieked in horror.
"It's okay, we'll find Leslie. Lancer and Tetslaff won't ruin the whole summer. We can still have fun." Sam reassured, but mostly to himself as his eye twitched while he tried to look at the bright side of things, which was easier said than done for him.
Later that night, Sam has been told to share a cabin with his arch-rival, Paul Sanchez, and his best friend, Skye, as they wrote on journals and Sam laid on his bed, completely bored out of his mind and tried to stay as far away from the prep boys as possible.
"This can still be fun." Sam told himself.
"So she was like 'no way' and I was all 'yes way'." Paul said to his friend.
"No way." Skye said.
"This can still be-" Sam said, but stopped short as he rolled his eyes. "Who am I kidding? I'm doomed."
Then from outside, there was a faint green light coming from the window beside Sam as Skye noticed it. "Did you see that green glow?"
"It must be swamp gas." Paul said nervously.
"The monster in the woods must've gotten in from eating Leslie!"
Sam stared at the preps in confusion as he sat up and looked out the window. He saw Dani in her ghost form, holding out her hand producing ecto-energy for light with Tina right behind her.
"Psst. Wanna come out and play?" Dani whispered as she smiled at Sam.
"Quick, hide my moisturizer from the monster!" Paul said, causing the trio to glance at them in confusion.
"Let's like stand on chairs so it can't get us!" Skye said.
Sam turned his attention back to his friends. "What do you think? But are we prepared to go into the woods?" He asked.
Tina held out the Fenton Thermos while Dani held out two wrist bands with tiny guns on top. "Thermos and prototype Fenton Wrist Rays, courtesy of my unsuspecting mom." Dani said reassuringly to him.
"Most kids worry about packing enough underwear for camp, then there's us." Tina said with a smile as Sam smiled at his quick-thinking friends.
In the dark woods, the trio walked down a path as they heard owls hooting and crickets chirping in the darkness around them. Dani continued holding out her energized hand for lighting as Sam and Tina walked right behind her with their wrist rays on their wrists.
"Look at you, Tina, out in the woods at night. I'm impressed." Sam said to her.
Tina has a flashback of her in her cabin that she and Dani had to share with Daph Baxter and Kwyn while they used their heads to pass around a hacky sack. "It was worse than the cabin, trust me." Tina shrugged dully.
Dani then spotted a couple of giant clawed footprints and kneeled down to them as she examined them. "Guys, footprints." She said to her friends.
"No big deal, those could belong to a friendly little woodland creature." They suddenly heard growling from the bushes as they gasped in fright. "A fluffy bunny forging for a carrot for example." Until Dani's ghost sense went off, confirming it was indeed a ghost, making Tina gulp nervously. "A carrot with ghost powers."
"Relax, hacky-head, there's nothing to fear but-" Sam began to say until a giant lizard-fish-like ghost monster jumped from the bushes and roared menacingly at the teens.
"You were saying?!"
Dani fired an ecto blast at it, but did no apparent affect it as it swatted her away with its claws until it turned and charged straight for Sam and Tina. "How do you use these things?!" Sam asked in panic as he and Tina began pressing on their wrist rays and then they aimed them as they fired beams of energy at the monster, hitting it dead on to the ground.
"YES!" Sam and Tina shouted in victory, but their smiled dropped when they watch it get back up and recovered from their attack and charged straight at them again. "NO!" The screamed as they both ran away from the angry monster until they came to a ledge of a cliff.
The monster leapt right at them. "NO!" Dani screamed before they all fell over the edge with the monster. "Guys!" She flew over and was very relieved to see that Sam and Tina managed to grab onto a strong branch and hanged onto it tightly.
"The sad part is, this is still better than being in the cabin." Tina said to Sam.
Dani grabbed both her friends and pulled them off the branch and back onto the ground. They all watched as the ghost creature climbed over the cliff and crawled slowly and creepily towards them as it growled at the trio angrily. "Here kitty thing...wanna play fetch?"
"Uh, Dani, fetching's for dogs." Tina pointed out.
"Not when I'm doing the fetching!" Dani quickly pulled out her Fenton Thermos and uncapped it as she fired it straight at the monster while it leapt right at them, only to get sucked into the device before she recapped it.
"Thanks for the save," Sam said, smiling until he frowned. "So we got the monster, but not Leslie."
"I'm sure the monster didn't eat her. You two go back to camp and try to get some sleep. I'll keep looking."
Tina and Sam ran the other way as they headed back to camp as Dani took off to the air to continue her search. After the trio went their separate ways, a ghost was hiding in the bushes and watched the whole thing. "No sign of the subject, but you won't believe who is here." The ghost said to a communicator with a grin.
The next morning, the campers have all gathered at the mess hall for their breakfast.
"Ah, breakfast, the most-" Tina sighed to Sam until the cook slammed a spoonful of oatmeal into her bowl, making her stare down at it in disgust. "Disgusting meal of the day."
"It's gray and lumpy, just like my grandpa." A random nerd said.
Sam and Tina took their seats at their table across from each other. "What time did Dani get back?" Sam asked Tina.
"Just now." They turned around and saw Dani walking up to them in her human form. She looked a little worn out from her long night of searching a missing camper. "When it went from black to gray, I figured it was morning." She showed them a familiar camera.
"You found Leslie's camera?"
"Yeah, but not Leslie. She probably found shelter in a cave; at least the monster's gone."
They suddenly heard Daph shrieking in fear as she ran into the mess hall, knocking down a camper's breakfast tray. "The monster ate Kwyn!" She exclaimed fearfully.
"At least the monster got to eat." Tina said sarcastically.
"Daph, that's impossible. She probably just wandered off to use the bathroom." Dani suggested as she walked up to her.
"Na-ah, you don't know Kwyn's amazing bladder, she can hold it for-" Daph began.
"Please don't finish that sentence until I'm safely out of the building!" Sam said with a look of disgust as he walked out of the hall.
"Please don't finish that sentence at all, girl." Tina said with a hint of disgust as well.
Sam walked around camp until he peaked from a porch to find Ms. Lancer wearing a black bear costume and Mr. Tetslaff with her. "I did not spend a year at the gym getting a sculpted summer physic so I can hide it in a bear suit." Lancer said to Tetslaff as she frowned at him.
"That's the Scruffy the camp mascot costume. You'll wear it to keep the kids happy and keep their minds off the disappearances. I'll handle the tough stuff like killing the monster in the woods." Tetslaff said as he grabbed Lancer by the costume and made a threatening fist.
Lancer immediately slipped on the bear mask over her face. "Hello, campers!" She was about to go into action, until they heard Paul running from the woods with a bag, screaming in fear as well.
"The monster got Skye! We went out to try to get some sun and I found his suntan lotion next to a giant clawed footprint!" Paul exclaimed before sobbing loudly. Everyone began muttering in fear and concern as Dani, Sam, and Tina remained silent but had shock expressions. They thought they had captured the monster, but now they realized that there was actually more than one out there.
"Bunk up, camper," Tetslaff said, putting a comforting hand on Paul's shoulder. "We'll find him."
"We have to! He's my best friend. And without his sunblock, he's in terrible danger! He burns so easily!" He began to cry again.
"Clan of the Cave Bear! Everyone calm down!" Lancer exclaimed as she ripped the suit off herself.
"Here's what we're going to do, we'll divide into two groups. Ms. Lancer's team will stay in camp and do nice normal camp stuff like crafts and canoeing; my team's gonna go on a nice normal hike." Tetslaff said as he picked up a stick.
"That doubles as a nice normal search and rescue effort." Dani muttered. Her gym teacher created a line to divide the campers, until she realized Sam was on Tetslaff side while she and Tina were on Lancer's. "Sam, quick, jump over to our side!"
He was about to jump over the line until Tetslaff shoved him away rudely. "Get a move on, Mr. Manson."
"Don't worry. I'll look for Lester, Skye, and Kwyn." Sam promised to Dani before he walked off with the others.
"Wait, you might need the…" She faltered when they disappear into the woods. "...thermos."
"It's better we have it." Tina suggested. "Who knows what dangers lurk right here at camp, right?"
Then later on, Lancer made all his campers do some canoeing on an oil-spilt river, so it did much struggling for those who were rowing, even for Dani as she strained. "Yeeeh, let's hear it for danger." Tina said sarcastically as she rested her head on her hand.
"~Row, row, row your boat~!" Lancer announced encouragingly to all of her campers through a megaphone. "Now you in the canoe, you start! ~Row, row, row-~" Then fog suddenly came out of nowhere as it covered everyone up and Lancer faltered in surprise.
Dani looked around and smiled a little. "Actually, this is perfect, stay here while I check out the woods." She said to Tina as she stood to her feet. She transformed to her ghost form and flew off her canoe.
Tina looked down and realized that she forgot the Fenton Thermos. "Girl, wait!" She tried to call out, but too late as she already disappeared in the fog. She then shrugged reassuringly. "Oh well." She then pulled out a game pad and was about to play Rain Forest Demolition II.
Meanwhile, in the woods, Tetslaff strangled a squirrel by its neck as it squeaked and and became disoriented by the teacher's strength as his team stood there and watched him. "And that's how you would disable a grizzly using nothing but your bare hands!" Tetslaff bellowed before he laughed and walked away.
The campers looked at each other with uncertainty before following their counselor, but Sam remained behind with a stick in his hand, looking displeased that Tetslaff actually attacked an innocent animal.
"Oh brother." He groaned until he gasped when he heard something behind a bush.
Sam cautiously walked to the bush with his stick in his hands and peaked through a gap in the leaves. He quickly shoved the branches aside and lifted up his stick, but noticed there was nothing there. He was about to turn to follow the others until a giant purple-furred monster ghost towered above him and blocked his way as it roared. He instinctively swung his stick, but it merely grabbed it and snapped it like a twig. Sam ran away to avoid it's blue eye rays as it chased after him until he tripped on his own feet.
Before the ghost could squash him, he suddenly blasted back by a green ecto beam. Sam turned around and smiled at Dani's timely arrival. "Sticks are so last century, it's all about the ghost rays now." Dani said to him before the monster growled as it stood back up and fired rays from its eyes again, hitting Dani dead on to the ground with a grunt. "See?"
She quickly recovered as she charged at the monster and flipped over its head as she grabbed its horns and used her strength to flip it straight over her and sent it to the ground. Dani smirked at it as she rubbed her hands together. "Don't play with it, use the thermos!" Sam said.
Dani checked her jumpsuit, but her smile dropped when she suddenly remembered she accidentally left it with Tina at camp. She giggled nervously as Sam crossed his arms and frowned when he realized the problem. "I kind of left it with Tina."
They both gasped when they saw the ghost about to squash them. Dani quickly took off to the air as she avoided its attack before firing a beam of ice energy at it and then froze it in a block of ice. "Come on, we better warn Tetslaff of the Jungle about the monster." Dani said to Sam.
Meanwhile, with Tetslaff and his team, they watched a giant python snake slithering away, completely disoriented and badly harmed by Tetslaff himself.
"And that's how you survive after a python swallows ya." He said to her campers. They all looked very surprised until they gasped in fear when they heard some bushes rattling leaves. "Remember what I said about aiming for the eyes!" Tetslaff cried out as he charged straight for the bushes.
From the bushes, a ghost emerged in front of the campers. "RUN!" Daph cried out in fear.
They all were about to run the other way, until they were blocked by very familiar looking ghosts. Tetslaff turned around, but found out that all of his campers were gone and then looked in front of him and shouted as the ghosts revealed themselves to be the Ghost Zone Police Department officer ghosts, also known as Walka's goons as they grinned and kidnapped him.
Back at camp, Dani (back in human form) and Sam looked around camp, but realized it was very quiet. "Hello?! Mr. Tetslaff?!" Sam called out loud.
"Anyone else?!" Dani called out until her eyes went wide. "Tina!" They both ran to the river, and saw that all of the canoes were thrown out of the lake and everyone else was gone.
"TINA!" Dani and Sam cried out in unison.
Dani then finds one of Tina's game pads, all busted up and even noticed that her Fenton Thermos was gone as well. "Tina's gone, and so is the thermos!" She said to Sam.
"We caught the first monster, you put the second one on ice; just how many more are there?" He asked.
His answer came when they hear bushes rattling again. "At least one. Going ghost!" Dani changed to her ghost form and fired a disk at the bushes as a wolf-like creature pounced upward to avoid it. Dani was about to punch it right in the face, until she suddenly recognized a familiar face as she dropped from the air and onto the ground in shock.
"Omega?" Dani and Sam asked in unison.
It was indeed Dani's old werewolf ghost ally, Omega. Omega was one of Walka's prisoners who once helped Dani almost a year ago when Walka tried to make her public ghost enemy number one and she has switched sides when she promised to help set her free from the vengeful ghost warrant, but the werewolf ghost sacrificed her own freedom to save Dani's.
Dani and Sam also noticed her claws were almost snapped off and her arms were badly wounded, possibly from Walka's tortures for foiling her plans on recapturing Dani. They took her to the first aid cabin where Sam rubbed a mixture of blueberries on her hands and bandaged her arms. Now that everyone was gone, that only left Dani and Sam at camp so they had no problems taking a hairy werewolf ghost in the first-aid hut.
"What is that?" Dani asked.
"A mixture of berries that are known to speed healing. I told you nature was full of wonder." Sam said.
"Estas bone vidi vin devone, mia amiga." Omega said to Dani in Esperanto.
"It's nice to see you again, too." Dani said as she smiled up at her, until she noticed that Sam was giving her a strange look, making her shrug. "What? I had Tina teach me a little Esperanto. You know, in case I meet up with her again."
Sam cocked an eyebrow. "Uh-huh, I can't believe Omega escaped from Walka's ghost jail again, and this time she did some real damage."
"Tearing a hole between dimensions can really take a lot out of ya."
Sam's eyes went wide with realization as he turned to Dani with a serious frown. "Dani, the hole Omega tore through to escape from Walka! It must still be open! I bet all these monsters are coming from the Ghost Zone!"
Dani narrowed her eyes in agreement. "Of course! They're crawling out of her portal like cockroaches through a sewer drain! Omega can lead us to it and we can close it up tonight." Omega then jumped off the the counter and to a corner where she spun around and lied to down to take a nap as she snored heavily.
Sam frowned as he crossed his arms. "Something tells me we're gonna have to wait."
Unaware to them, a flying camera was watching through a hole as from across the woods, Walka and her men were watching a screen of Dani and Sam with Omega. "So the ghost girl did what you could not: she found Omega." She said to her goons while grinning. "Outstanding. Now, I can get two prisoners for the price of one. Time to set down an invitation."
Later that night at camp, Sam sat on steps of the cabin to keep watch for any more loose ghost monsters in the woods until Dani joined him as she sat next to him.
"Don't worry, Sam, we'll find everyone." Dani promised.
"I know, but Tina is out there with a monster or worse, with a monster and Daph and Kwyn." He said, cringing at the thought.
"Come on. You'd know that I would never let anything happen to either of you. I couldn't imagine my life without you." Sam's eyes widened when she said that, making her blush madly when she realized what she just said. "O-o-or Tina." Sam then smiled warmly. They both gasped when they heard movement in the woods and they could've sworn they saw a shadow zoom past some trees. They figured it was another ghost loose in the woods. "Stay here, Sam; wake up Omega." Dani stood up to her feet.
Sam stood up on his feet also. "Be careful. I couldn't imagine my life without you either." He said with a hint of worry. Dani's eyes widened as well, making him blush, too as he looked down awkwardly. "Or Tina."
Dani gave him a smile before she ran into the woods and changed to her ghost form. She lit one of her hands with ecto-energy when she stopped at where she last saw the shadow. She heard movement behind the bushes as two of Walker's men emerged from the leaves in the light. "Out past curfew, ghost kid? Isn't that against the rules?" One of them asked her sternly.
"Walka's goons!" Dani said as she glared at them while she prepared a couple of ecto balls on her hands. "I was wondering when you'd show up."
"Relax, kid. We aren't here to do any harm." He then smirked as his partner fried a blast from his baton and Dani screamed as it blasted at her dead on and fell to the ground with smoke billowing from her chest. "Well, maybe just a little."
"We have a message from Walka." The other guard said as he tossed Tina's beanie to Dani. "Give us Omega and we'll give you your friends."
Dani gasped and picked up her best friend's beanie. "Tina's hat!" She said as the goons only grinned before they flew away. She then flew back to the campsite where Sam and Omega were waiting for her by a campfire as she landed near them. "Omega, please, you need to remember where that portal is right now!"
Omega grabbed Tina's beanie from her and sniffed it before she got into all fours and began sniffing the ground. Her eyes widened and she let off a howl indicating she found her scent. Dani quickly grabbed a few things in the cabin in a duffle bag as she and Sam followed Omega. The sun began to dawn as they continued following their werewolf friend across the wilderness. Then, they all stopped when they heard more movement behind a bush.
"Oh no! Here we go again!" Sam exclaimed as Omega growled in anger.
"Get behind me!" Dani said as she stood defensively in front of him, ready to fight.
With a huge roar, a huge monstrous tiger ghost leapt out of the bushes and went straight for them. Dani was about to fire a ghost beam until Omega roared back at the tiger and charged at it. She pushed it to the ground and held it there as she raised her hand and unsheathed her claws as she began scratching, punching, and then threw it to the ground. The tiger held its head in pain and was about to run away, until Omega grabbed its tail and it screeched as Omega spun it around in a circle until she released it and it flew over the trees and into another part of the woods. Omega growled angrily as she retracted her claws.
"Boy! She sure recovered quickly." Dani said with an impressed smile.
"I'm telling you, it was the berries." Sam said with a smirk as he crossed his arms.
The three of them continued to walk through the woods until they stopped near a stream of fresh water that was flowing by a waterfall. As Omega bent down for a drink, Dani and Sam both filled up their water bottles for their camp.
"Wow, this is pretty cool." Dani said.
"Nature is full of nice surprises." Sam said as he stood up.
"So I've heard."
Omega began sniffing the air again and pointed at the waterfall while looking at her friends. "La portalo estas tra tie." She said before she leapt from rock to rock and jumped through the waterfall and into a cave.
Sam and Dani followed him through the waterfall and into the cave where they found Omega's ghost portal, the one she used to escape from Walka and unintentionally made all the ghost monsters escape through as well.
"Another amazing wonder of nature. Okay, are we ready to break into prison?" Dani said to Omega and Sam.
Omega sharpened her claws on the wall and then growled. "I'll take that as a 'yes'." Sam said.
"Hang on, girl. We can't just rush in there. We have a plan." Dani held out her duffel bag.
Sam cocked an eyebrow in confusion. "We do?" He then spotted some black fur patches sticking out from the top as he smiled. "We do."
Later on, Dani flew through the Ghost Zone with the duffel bag in her hands, now much larger and heavier. She looked ahead as she made her way closer to Walka's prison. The place gave her bad memories of what happened over a year ago the first time she first journeyed into the Ghost Zone alone; when she was wrongfully accused for bringing real world items and she once escaped of being imprisoned there for one thousand years. Then, as an act of revenge, Walka decided to turn her whole town of Amity Park against her, and with Omega's help, sent her back into the Ghost Zone, but Omega sacrificed her own freedom for Dani's. Now that Omega was back, she wanted to set her free and her classmates once and for all from Walka's clutches.
Dani noticed that there were no guards on patrol on the walls. "No guards, we must be expected." She said quietly.
Dani entered the prison and then entered a large room, where she froze and gasped at something which caused her to accidentally drop the duffel bag, and a painful grunt is heard when it impacted the floor.
"Sorry...Omega." Dani said and looked ahead as she saw Ms. Lancer, Tetslaff, Tina, and everyone else floating inside a large glass and metal case in suspended animation as they slept peacefully. "Whoa. Suspended animation." She reached her hand forward to touch the glass, but her hand stopped on some glass blocking her off from the case and screamed as it electrocuted her before she pulled it back. "Okay, not that way! At least for now I know everyone's safe."
"Which is more than I can say for you, princess." She turned around and saw Walka grinning with her hands behind her back, along with a whole line of her goons behind her.
"You brought the whole gang to welcome me. I'm touched." Dani said with a sarcastic smile until she glared at the ghost warden. "Release my friends."
"Return Omega to me."
Dani grabbed the duffel bag. "You know, you didn't have to kidnap all of the campers to get me to bring you Omega."
"Perhaps not, but I did have to take the ones that stumbled on my search party in the woods, to keep them from shooting off their mouths. We started off looking for Omega, but once I learned that you were in those woods, too, I knew I only needed to capture a few of your friends to get your attention. No matter, the end results is the same: I have your friends and you have mine."
"Something tells me Omega doesn't consider you friend. I saw those injuries on her arms and I knew it was you. You've been torturing her ever since she helped me defeat you when she sacrificed her own freedom for mine, like the vengeful, ruthless, so-called warden you are." Dani tossed Walka the duffel bag at her feet.
"Again, don't matter. What's important is that this game of cat and mouse is now over. Oh, and in case you had any doubt...you're the mouse." Walka pulled out the Fenton Thermos and activated it as the beam of energy began sucking Dani inside as she screamed and she recapped the thermos. "Now I have the campers, the ghost girl, and Omega. That Phantom brat should've known better than to engage in a game of wits with me." She bent down to the duffel bag. "And now, Omega-"
Walka was cut off when Sam suddenly jumped out of the bag. "HA!" He exclaimed at the now-surprised warrant ghost.
The fur sticking out was just part of the mascot costume that Ms. Lancer was forced to wear. Dani and Sam did know better than to trust Walka since she would never release the other campers and she still wanted to capture Dani as the prisoner she viewed her as, and they even knew that Walka would still had a trick up her sleeve. Sam was wearing the pants part over his pants and he then fired his wrist ray and hit Walka dead on and caused her to drop Dani's thermos containing her. He then blasted at all of Walka's men, straight to the floor.
"It's hard to engage in a game of wits when your opponent is missing a few pieces!" Sam said as he smirked and ripping off the costume.
He then spotted the thermos containing his friend and ran right towards it while Walka glared and fired an ecto blast at him. Sam managed to pick up the thermos and was nearly blasted by the beam, but caused him to fall over near the wall, but instead of hitting it, he phased right through it and fell on the floor in another room.
"Huh?" He said before he looked down at himself until he remembered one of the most important rules of the Ghost Zone. "Oh, right! Humans pass through stuff in the Ghost Zone! Cool." Sam picked up the thermos again and jumped right through another wall into a hallway. He then uncapped the thermos and released Dani.
"Nice save." Dani said, sounding impressed before they both ducked their heads as a blast came right at them. They looked and saw Walka again with two of her men.
"Get them!" Walka commanded and her guards fired beams from their batons.
Dani grabbed onto Sam's arm and dragged him down to a corridor as they avoided their attacks. Sam then went back to blast at Walka and her guards with his wrist ray and blasted at them dead on.
"Yes!" He cheered victoriously as he pumped his arms and held out his knee in triumph.
"Let's go!" Dani exclaimed as she grabbed him by his stomach and took him to another area. "Look." She placed her hands on the wall behind them and turned it invisible. Sam gasped when he saw Tina and everyone else sleeping and floating in suspended animation.
"Tina! The campers! Are they floating in oatmeal?" He asked when he noticed the color of the water they were all floating in.
"It's a suspended animation that just so happens to look like breakfast. Trust me, they're okay."
"How do we get in there to free them?"
"The question is when do you join them?" Dani and Sam gasped when they turned and saw Walka grinning smugly at them. Four of her guards then grabbed onto Dani and Sam by their arms and held onto them tightly.
"Listen, Walka, you got me, let Sam go!" Dani demanded.
"Let someone go, that would be against the rules, princess." Walka then pulled out the collar she used to torture Omega with until Tina released her from it about a year ago. "This collar always worked on Omega, but since she's not here, I'll just have to put it on someone else."
Dani glared at her defiantly. "You can't scare me, Walka."
"I'll make a note of that, ghost girl, but you're not the one who's gonna wear this." Walka walked over to Sam as he looked at her in fear and the warren ghost began to reach to put the collar on the goth's neck.
Dani's eyes went wide with worry. "NO!"
They suddenly heard a roar coming from out of nowhere as Omega charged in and jumped straight into Walka and pinned her to the ground.
"OMEGA!" Dani and Sam cried happily in unison.
The two guards that were holding Sam released him and aimed their batons at Omega. "Hold it!" One of them demanded.
"No! Don't hit me!" Walka shouted before she blasted Omega off her.
Sam then aimed his wrist ray and blasted the guards that were holding him right into Walker as he sent them spinning down the hallway. Dani then changed back to her human form and phased out of the guards' hands and into the wall. She then used her hands and grabbed their heads and slammed them into each other, knocking them both out cold. She phased back into the room and changed back to ghost form as she ran up to Sam and Omega.
"Nice job." Dani said to both of them.
"I am loving this wrist ray. It's the perfect accessory...of pain!" Sam said as he held out his wrst ray.
"Seize them!" Walka commanded her men.
"Ready?" Dani asked.
Sam got in a martial pose. "Ready." He said while Dani and Omega stared at him with somewhat odd looks.
All of them shouted in battle cries as they all charged at each other. Omega used her claws and massive strength to take four of them down; Sam took out at least five guards using his Fenton Wrist Ray and his self-defense combat skills by kicking and uppercutting; Dani blasted a guard with an ecto blast, punched one in the chin and letting out a repulsion field as she blasted the other guards away from her. Before Dani could react, Walka suddenly grabbed her by her throat and slammed her against the wall as she grunted and she pinned her there.
"You're all breaking the law, ghost gir-AHHHHH!" Walka growled until Sam blasted at her head and burnt her hat right off, making her scream in pain as she ran off, releasing Dani in the process.
"Nice job. Get Omega and go to Tina while I keep Walka's army busy." Dani said to her gothic friend.
"Okay." Sam said before turning to Omega. "Come with me. Veni kun mi." He noticed Dani was staring at him strangely with surprised eyes. "So I know some, too. Don't say a word!"
With that, Sam and Omega ran to go to Tina and the other campers while Dani went the other way to deal with Walka's goons. After running through a few corridors, Omega and Sam managed to reach the room where Tina and the other campers and counselors were currently trapped in.
"Oh my gosh, Tina." Sam said in worry.
"So, you think you can run away from me." Walka said as she stood at the doorway, glaring at them, until she shouted when she felt a burning pain from an ecto blast at her back. She turned to find Dani floating behind her. "Firing from behind. How very cowardly, princess."
"You'd know all about that! Torturing Omega, almost torturing Sam! You're not a warden, you just a perfectionist ghost, aren't you?!" Dani snapped angrily.
"I do what I believe is right in my own way." Walka grinned as she fired an ecto beam back at her, which blasted at her dead on in the stomach and sent her crashing into the wall.
Dani glared and flew straight at her as she changed back to human form and phased right through Walka before she somersaulted on the ground before getting in a stance as changed back into ghost form.
"You!" Walka growled.
"What do you say we put this feud on ice for a while?" Dani said and before Walka could attack, she sent out a wave of her ice power at her, freezing her in a block of ice.
With Walka finally out of the way, the three of them turned their attentions to the campers. "So how do we get in there to free them?" Sam asked.
"Easy, remember how normal humans can pass through stuff in the Ghost Zone?" Dani reminded him with her hands on her hips.
Sam jumped as he phased right through the glass wall before he began glancing around for a switch to lift up the wall. "Now, there should be a switch here somewhere..." But then the wall was suddenly opened before Dani and Sam turned directly to Omega, who has found the switch outside of the cell.
"Uh, duh!" She said with a face as she shrugged like it should have been obvious.
Dani and Sam then began to push the giant box out of the prison. "Wait, where's Omega?" Dani asked. They both peaked from behind and saw Omega had her tongue stuck to the ice that Dani froze Walka in.
"Ferocious, yes. Smart, not so much." Sam said to Dani.
They all exited the Ghost Zone with the glass box of the sleeping campers and counselors from Omega's portal. Dani then pulled out her thermos and began pressing some buttons on her device. "A little reverse polarity should keep Walka in the Ghost Zone a while." She activated the thermos and the beam of energy closed the portal for good before she recapped the device. "Okay, let's get out of here."
Sam and Omega both sat on top of the case as Dani used her superhuman strength and carried it out of the waterfall and landed on the ground before Dani phased right through the box and stood on top of the box with Sam and Omega.
"I'm impressed." Sam said.
"With my strength?" Dani asked, holding out her arms.
He chuckled as he crossed his arms. "No, that you knew what reverse polarity was."
Dani frowned at him in annoyance. "Humorous." She then turned to Omega and smiled. "You're free, my friend. Run before Sam tries to make another joke."
"Libera?" Omega asked happily.
"Yes. Libera, mia amika."
"Amika!" Omega licked Dani in her cheek.
"Whoa, down girl."
Omega was about to lick Sam until he held out his hands. "Let's keep this tongue free okay?" He said. They both watched as she pounced off the box and headed off to the woods to begin her afterlife of freedom from Walka's clutches. Sam then turned back to Dani. "You okay?"
"Yeah. Come on, let's get everyone back to camp." She said.
Sam smiled in a thought. "We don't have to wake them all up, do we?" Dani only remained silent, but she smiled at him in agreement.
Later on that night, Dani and Sam have both agreed to only wake up Tina since they both decided to let the other campers and counselors sleep in their suspended animation at least until morning so that the trio could enjoy some private camping time that night together with just each other alone. They all managed to start a campfire and even brought out some marshmallows to roast.
"So, we're going to tell everyone is was all a dream?" Tina asked as she went through her stuff in her duffel bag.
"Of course not." Sam said as he sat on a log next to Dani.
"But everyone's gonna think it was, courtesy of a bad headache from being in suspended animation." Dani said as she glanced over to the glass box containing their classmates and teachers.
"Yeah, floating in that oatmeal was almost worse than eating it." Tina said, looking a little disgusted.
Dani stuck a marshmallow on her stick and began toasting it on the campfire. "Omega is free, Walka is in the Ghost Zone, and we don't have to wake up the others until morning. Uh, I-I-I mean…'til it's gray again." She pulled out her marshmallow, but saw that it was in flames and tried to put it out, but too late as it crisped into ashes, she just narrowed her eyes in annoyance
"Just make sure you get out of Leslie's way when you wake her, she hasn't gone to the bathroom for days. Okay, we're ready." Tina set out a mini movie theater as it was about to play Bloodbath 3: the Final Spill. "It's showtime."
"Oh no, that's not what we're watching." Sam said before scooting on his log and looked up at the sky. Dani and Tina walked over to him and exchanged glances before they both shrugged and sat next to him on either side. "Now it's showtime."
Dani watched as a shooting star flew across the clear night sky. "Wow." She said in awe.
"I know." Sam and Dani both smiled at each other, until they hear snoring and realized Tina has immediately fallen asleep, making them both laugh softly. They then heard animals in the distance coming from the woods. "And we even have our own soundtrack."
Dani smiled warmly at him. "It's perfect."
Sam and Dani both looked back out to the distance as Sam stretched out his arms and placed his arm near Dani, until he slowly creeped his hand around Dani's neck until he hugged her and she leaned her head against Sam's shoulders as he leaned his head on top of hers, as enjoying their last night together camping that night alone and enjoying the beauty of nature in front of them.
