FRIGHT CLUB
In the vast space of the Ghost Zone, there was cheering going on at some sort of battle arena in the middle of a floating island. Ghosts from all over the Zone sat in the bleachers surrounding the battle cage in the middle, roaring in excitement as two ghosts fought against each other, just when the first ghost thought he had the upper hand, the second ghost grabbed him by the arm and flipped him over his back and then body slammed him straight in the gut.
The ghost groaned and screamed in pain begging for it to stop as the ghost kept delivering blows to his stomach, he was about to fire a blast straight to his stomach when a hand grabbed him and stopped him before he could deliver the final blow. He looked up to see it was Bullet, one of Walker's henchmen who had grabbed him.
"That's enough!" Bullet shouted and then announced, "Winner Crusher!"
The crowd cheered and booed for the ghost whose name was revealed to be Crusher as he was then taken away as Bullet ordered the two guards, "Take him back to the prison"
Bullet then exited the arena and headed up to the main office where Walker was waiting for him at his desk.
"Sorry to keep you waiting Walker" Bullet apologised as he sat down. "Let me guess, you want me to round up some escaped prisoners for you"
"Yes and no Bullet" Walker answered. He then grinned as he said, "I think it's time the arena had a special event and I know just who I guests of honour can be"
He placed two pictures on the desk and Bullets eyes widened and grinned as he realised what Walker was planning. Bullet then asked, "The problem is getting them here. How are we gonna do that Walker?"
Walker continued to grin as he answered, "That won't be a problem. With the proper motivation, we can make those punks do anything we want and they won't even get a say in the matter"
They both laughed evilly as Walker picked up and held it in the air, revealing them to be the mug shots of Danny and Dayla in their ghost forms during the time they were captured in his prison and now he was more determined than ever to have his revenge against those two for not only escaping prison, but for causing a massive breakout and freeing Wulf!
It was Friday afternoon and the final bell had rung for the weekend. Danny, Dayla, Sam, Tucker, Andrew and Valerie walked out the front doors smiling and ready for the weekend.
"I am so glad that this will be a homework free weekend" Tucker said. "Plus I have all the paperwork done and finalised from City Hall so it's also a paperwork free weekend"
"Good for you Tuck" Danny said. "By the way what did you want to tell us that it had to wait till after school?"
"I'll tell you all once we get to your house man" Tucker answered. "For now let's plan out what we're gonna do this weekend?"
"Hey how about all of us got to the carnival together?" Valerie suggested. "It's been a while since we all did something together besides ghost hunting"
"Sounds like a great idea Val. Let's hope that this weekend is ghost free as well" Dayla said.
A few minutes later they all arrived at Fenton Works, Dayla grabbed the mail from the mailbox and smiled as she said, "There's a letter from Jazz"
Everyone smiled and then placed their bags by the door and then sat down in the living room. Dayla then opened the letter and read it aloud.
Hey guys!
How's everything? Been checking out some of your ghost fights during the past two weeks, great job at stopping Lunch Lady and Undergrowth.
College is great! As usual I'm in top of all my classes and I have made some pretty good friends. There's even this really cute guy named Jackson at my campus who's in both my psychology and paranormal classes.
I'm looking forward to my weekend visit next weekend and catching up with everything and everyone.
Love,
Jazz.
P.S Danny, Dayla I did do a check over by Vlad's old mansion with the investigators but again nothing has come up. I'll keep you guys posted.
"I'm glad she's enjoying college" Danny said. "Anyway Tucker it's your turn. What did you need to tell us?"
Tucker then stood in front of them all and said, "As you guys know I have been Mayor of Amity Park since the Disasteroid a year ago and as much as I love being mayor, I also miss hanging out with you guys both at school and outside of school so after talking to the council and deputy mayor Johnathan Simmons, I'm retiring from the office and leaving it to Johnathan"
Everyone was shocked at first but then they all calmed down and then Sam asked, "Tucker are you sure?"
"Yeah I'm absolutely sure" Tucker answered. "You all met Johnathan and know he's a good guy. I'm gonna run for mayor again in the future after college, but right now I want to focus more on high school and the council understands"
"Tucker if this is what you want, we'll support you every step of the way" Danny said. "Right guys?"
"Absolutely / Yeah man / we're with you Tuck / we got your back" Dayla, Andrew, Sam and Valerie all answered.
"So when are you going to let the town know?" Andrew asked.
"I'm gonna let the town know on Monday after school and then it will be official on Friday" Tucker answered.
"We should have a party next Friday night" Sam suggested. "We can have it at my place. My parents are out of town for two weeks and if I know grandma, she'll be all for a party"
"Awesome. Thanks guys, you're the best" Tucker said.
Suddenly Danny and Dayla's ghost sense went off. They both stood up as Danny said, "Better gear up guys. We got company"
Danny and Dayla changed into their ghost forms as Dayla asked, "But a ghost? Here?"
Valerie changed into her ghost hunting suit and then turned on her scanner, she saw several blimps coming from outside the house in different parts of Amity Park and said, "Guys there are several ghosts around Amity Park. I think we might have to split up and investigate"
"Okay here's the plan, Tucker you and Valerie head for the first signal by the park, Dayla you're with Andrew at City Hall and Sam you're with me by the school" Danny said. "Contact either of us if you need assistance in your area through the Fenton Phones"
"Got it" Everyone said and then all went out the door.
Danny picked up Sam and started flying to Casper High, Dayla picked up Andrew and started heading for City Hall and Tucker hopped on the back of Valerie's hover board and held onto her waist as she took off for the park.
Tucker and Valerie landed and started scanning the area, but the weird thing was there was no ghosts at all. Valerie scanned the area with her ecto scanner again and it was definitely showing there was ghost in the area, she then took to the air and continuously scanned the park but there was still no ghosts or any sign that they turned invisible.
She landed beside Tucker and said, "That is so weird. I just had my ecto scanner updated and it's definitely showing that there are ghosts in the area and where everyone else went"
"I'll check with everyone else and see if they found anything" Tucker said. He then phoned Dayla through his set of Fenton Phones and asked, "Phantom 2, this is Phantom 3. Are there any ghosts in your area?"
"We're checked everywhere around City Hall and nothing Phantom 3" Dayla replied as she and Andrew continued to scope the area. "Even my Fenton Watch isn't picking anything that is invisible"
"Phantom 3 any ghosts at the school?" Andrew asked through his Fenton Phones.
"We just arrived Phantom 2" Sam answered through her set as she and Danny landed.
They both looked around and Danny started scanning the area with his watch but just like the others, nothing was being picked up and there was no sign of any ghosts anywhere.
"There's nothing here. Valerie are you sure you're scanner says there are ghosts?" Danny asked.
"Positive. The scanner is still showing there are ghosts" Valerie answered. "What should we do guys?"
"Remain vigilant and just stand by for now" Dayla said. "We'll give it ten minutes and if nothing happens, we'll head back to Fenton Works"
"Okay Day…." Sam began to say when suddenly she felt something go into her arm and then felt really drowsy.
"Sam!" Danny shouted and caught her in his arms before she fell.
Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly felt something go into his arm and then her lost consciousness.
"Danny! Sam! Are you guys there?" Dayla asked. "Hello?"
"Andrew something's not right" She said but when she turned she saw Andrew was on the ground unconscious by the stairs.
She immediately ran up to him and kneeled down to his level and started shaking him as she asked, "Andrew are you okay?! Andrew! Andre….OW!"
She looked to her arm where she felt pain and saw a dart had been shot in her arm, she started to feel drowsy and then she fell beside Andrew and lost consciousness.
"Guys? Anyone there? Hello?!" Tucker and Valerie's voice could be heard from her Fenton Phones.
"Let's go" Valerie said but before she could hop on her board, several pairs of arms grabbed her and Tucker and held them still.
It was Walker's police ghost! One of them then ripped off Valerie's helmet off her head and then placed a cloth at her mouth. She tried her hardest not to inhale the chloroform that had been placed on the cloth but she couldn't hold her breath for very long and before she knew it, she felt drowsy and in just a matter of seconds she fell unconscious in the ghosts hold.
"Let her go!" Tucker demanded but they ignored him and then the same officer placed the cloth at his mouth.
Tucker couldn't help to breathe in the chloroform and immediately lost consciousness, the last thing he saw before everything went black was several more ghosts float in front of him with Danny, Dayla, Andrew and Sam in their grips.
Walker and Bullet then walked into the picture and grinned at the sight of Danny and Dayla captured. Walker then told the others, "Take them to the Arena. You know what to do"
"Yes sir" The officers said and then headed for the Ghost Zone.
"It's time to finally put those punks in their place" Walker said and then laughed evilly into the air.
Danny and Dayla groaned as they woke up, they both heard the sound of cheering in the background. They both sat up and saw that they were still in their ghost forms and one of their hands was in a cuff attached to a chain that linked them together, just like the time Skulker captured them along with Valerie and cuffed them together.
They stood up and looked around in shock as they found themselves in some kind of arena inside of a metal glowing green cage. A spotlight shone down upon them and then floating above the cage was Walker and Bullet.
"Walker!" Danny and Dayla shouted in surprise and then glared.
"Morning punks" Walker said. He then held up the mic and announced, "Welcome everyone to the Ghost Zone's Battle Arena!"
The crowd roared in excitement and then Walker continued, "We have a special three day event for you all for Danny and Dayla Phantom will be fighting for the ultimate prize, their freedom! But to do that they must fight and defeat ten ghosts and if they lose a single fight, they will be imprisoned within the Ghost Zone forever!"
The crowd cheered even louder at the sound of that. Danny then challenged, "What makes you think we'll do anything you say Walker?!"
"Oh I guess I forgot to mention something else" Walker said as his grin grew wider. "You see if you two lose, not only will you two be trapped in my prison forever but so will your friends, especially your girlfriend and boyfriend punks"
Bullet then gestured behind them and they gasped in shock and fear as they saw Sam, Tucker, Andrew and Valerie chained by their hands and feet to chairs in the box seats. Walker then asked, "So what will it be? Fight or trap not only you but them as well?"
"Guys don't do it! / we'll find a way out of this / we don't even know if he'll keep his word / don't!" Sam, Tucker, Andrew and Valerie said simultaneously.
There was silence and then Dayla asked, "Walker if we fight, do you swear you'll let us go?"
"I swear on my afterlife that my rules shall not be broken" Walker said with a serious tone. "I take my rules very seriously"
Dayla and Danny looked at each other and then nodded knowing there was no other choice. They both then turned to Walker and said in unison, "We'll do it"
Walker grinned once more and then nodded to Bullet who took the microphone and announced, "Presenting the first opponent and reigning champion of the arena, Crusher!"
The crowd cheered as the cage opened and the police ghosts shoved inside a large muscular ghost with purple skin and white pupiless eyes. He had a black tank top on along with ripped shorts and was barefoot, there was scars all across his arms, possibly due from all the fights he fought in the arena and he had black messy hair that went to his shoulders.
"Oh and by the way punks, those cuffs have cancelled your powers which means you two must fight without them and chained together" Walker said.
"What?!" Danny and Dayla shouted in shock.
But Walker flew off ignoring their faces and took a seat in the box seats next to Sam, Tucker, Valerie and Andrew with Bullet. Bullet then announced, "Let the first round begin!"
The crowd applauded and then Crusher screamed as he charged straight for Danny and Dayla, they both tried running in opposite directions but was pulled straight back to each other, they both then face palmed feeling like idiots that they forgot they were chained together and before they could do anything, Crusher punched them both and they screamed as they were flown straight into the cage and then landed on the ground.
The crowd roared in excitement, Danny and Dayla groaned in pain and stood back up. Danny then said, "We need to figure out some kind of system"
"Well if you have any ideas I love to hear them" Dayla said as Crusher got ready to attack again.
Danny then noticed something on Crusher's right foot and then as he started charging towards them, he noticed he put weight on his right foot instead of his left and that there was a bandage wrapped around it. Danny then shouted, "Dodge left!"
They both then dodged left causing Crusher to miss them but he grabbed them by their cuffs chain and raised them in the air and then without hesitation punched Dayla right in her stomach and then punched Danny's cheek bone and threw them both against the cage again. Andrew, Sam, Valerie and Tucker all cringed and began to get scared that they would not make it out of this fight alive.
"Well it looks like that those Phantom punks won't even make it through round 1" Bullet said with a cruel smirk.
"You're wrong! They're stronger than you think!" Valerie shouted at him.
They both fell to the ground and their legs wobbled as they stood up, Dayla kept her hand around her bruised stomach while Danny rubbed his cheek. Danny then remembered something that Pandora once said to him and Dayla one time during a training session with her.
Sometimes to take down your opponent, you must find any weakness to his strength he might have. Always observe and learn about your opponent before you fight.
"Dayla remember the story of Achilles?" He whispered to her.
"Yeah what about it?" She answered.
"Look at his ankle. He must have sprained it in his last fight, if we keep aiming for his ankle we might have a chance at beating him" He said.
Dayla looked at Crusher as he cracked his knuckles and charged them with ecto energy for his finishing move and chuckled in amusement, she then looked down and saw what Danny was talking about and then said, "What's the plan?"
Danny quickly thought of something and then whispered. As Crusher got ready to run at them again, Danny said, "On my signal"
Crusher roared and ran straight towards them. Danny then shouted, "NOW"!
Danny and Dayla both ran at him and then slid and pulled their chain tight like a rope at his left foot and watched as he tripped over and yelped in pain as he fell to the ground. Danny and Dayla stood up and before he could fully stand up, Danny and Dayla threw a combined punch straight in his face sending him flying and his head hit the cage wall.
He fell to the ground and lost consciousness, while Walker and Bullet looked at them in complete shock, Valerie, Tucker, Sam and Andrew stood up and cheered, "Alright Danny and Dayla!"
"Way to go babe!" Andrew then shouted.
"That's my boyfriend everyone!" Sam then cheered.
Walker growled in annoyance but then regained his posture and stood up with Bullet who then gestured for the crowd to be quiet.
"Well congratulations but you forget that was only one ghost" Walker announced. "You still have nine more to go"
Bullet then snapped his fingers and the guards pulled the unconscious Crusher out of the cage and then Bullet announced, "Round 2! The Phantom Twins will now face….Bashir!"
The cage door opened and inside slithered some sort of half snake, half ghost female with long blue hair and wore a red tunic that stopped at her midriff. She hissed, "I'm gonna enjoy sssqueezing thossse little halfa neckssss of your'ssss"
"READY AND FIGHT!"
The snake woman struck and grabbed Danny around his waist by the tail and pulled them both to her and without hesitation bit her fangs right into his neck. Danny screamed in pain as her fangs bit into him like two hypodermic needles, she then pulled them out and Danny fell to the floor feeling his muscles suddenly frozen and he couldn't move at all.
Sam covered her mouth in fear and whispered, "Please let them win"
"Danny! Danny! What's wrong?!" Dayla asked in pure horror. She then screamed at Bashir, "What did you to him?!"
"Don't worry the effects are only temporary" She answered with a cruel smile. "My venom doesn't kill, only paralyses my opponents before I deliver the final blow"
She then struck at Dayla who barely managed to dodge out of the way due to she was now holding onto a paralysed Danny. She kept dodging Bashir's attacks left and right as best as she could, but just as she turned right her tail wrapped around her neck and started squeezing her.
She made chocking noises as the tail squeezed harder and harder, making it very difficult to breathe, Andrew, Sam, Tucker and Andrew immediately tried fighting against their chains hoping to save them both but to no avail could they break free.
"Walker stop the match!" Andrew demanded. "She's gonna kill them!"
"In a moment" Walker said as his grin grew. "Your little girlfriend needs to learn her lesson"
"Stop it! You're gonna kill her!" Danny shouted trying to move but couldn't.
Dayla kept her hands on the ever squeezing tail but then noticed a gap underneath and placed her hand through it and before Bashir could react, Dayla pushed the tail back off her neck and bit down on it hard.
Bashir screamed in pain from the bite and let go of Dayla's neck as she held on. Dayla then let go and punched her right in the stomach and then delivered a kick right to her face knocking her to the ground.
Bashir growled in anger and screamed as she lunged straight for Dayla with her fangs baring, Dayla smirked and picked up the end of her tail and held it up just at the last second. Instead of biting Dayla, Bashir bit her own tail and delivered her paralysing venom into her system.
She screamed in pain and fell back as her body started freezing and stop moving and in just a matter of seconds she fell to the ground on her stomach completely paralysed.
"That's what you get for biting my brother" Dayla said.
"Awesome. I'd give you a high five but I'm still kind of paralysed" Danny said.
Sam, Tucker, Andrew and Valerie cheered in excitement while Walker growled in annoyance and anger. Things were not going according to plan.
"Bullet take them to the cells for the night and continue the fights tomorrow" Walker ordered.
Bullet nodded and then ordered the guards to get Danny and Dayla. The guards entered the cage and grabbed Danny and Dayla and dragged them out of the arena, they took them down the hallway and placed them in the cells with Sam, Tucker, Andrew and Valerie and locked the door after removing Danny and Dayla's handcuffs with a remote control.
Andrew immediately pulled Dayla into a hug while Sam did the same but being careful of their injuries.
"Are you guys okay?" Valerie asked.
Everyone gave her a look and then she said, "Sorry. Standard question"
Danny's fingers began to move again and he said, "I'm starting to get the feeling back in my body again"
"Wait a minute. Didn't you guys tell me that humans can pass through stuff in the Ghost Zone?" Valerie asked.
"Yeah but unfortunately I already felt the walls in the arena on our way here and tried going through them, their ghost proof and human phase proof. Walker and Bullet really went so far to make sure we don't leave. What are we gonna do? You guys still have to fight eight more ghosts" Tucker said. "How are you gonna do that? What if you lose?"
"We won't lose" Danny said. "We'll just have to rely on our own strength until we can figure something out"
"So over the next few hours we need to keep an eye out for things like changing of the guard times, the doors closing, everything that we can use to our advantage for a possible escape"
"It's a good thing I planted this" Tucker said as he pulled out his trusty PDA and a small little bug.
"Tucker you are awesome!" Andrew said in amazement. "But how and when did you?"
"I remember when we went out that I put my PDA into my pocket and also a listening bug that I kept from the lab when we got rid of them after the Disasteroid, I hacked into it and thought it would come in handy in the future" Tucker explained. "And then during while you were fighting Crusher, I managed to reach into my pocket and place the bug just underneath Walker's seat while he wasn't looking. Now we can find out who you're fighting next so you guys be better prepared for it and Walker won't even know it"
"Tucker you're really are a techno genius" Valerie said.
He smiled proudly at the sound of that and activated the bug that was under Walker's seat as Walker and Bullet were trying to think of the next few opponents to put up against Danny and Dayla.
"Crusher and Bashir were two of the arena's top fighters, now defeated" Bullet said. He then thought of something and said to Walker, "What if they were outnumbered?"
Walker stopped pacing and stopped. He then said, "Go on"
In the next fight, instead of putting them one at a time we put the next seven opponents up against them" Bullet continued. "That means they'll be outnumbered and will bound to lose"
Walker grinned and said, "Excellent suggestion Bullet. Make it so"
"And I know just the opponents that can take them out" Bullet said. "They're not prisoners but they'll do the job if we convince them to work together"
"Plus even if by some miracle they do win, they'll be so weak that they won't even be able to stand in their last fight" Walker added.
They both laughed, completely unaware that Team Phantom had heard every single word they said. Tucker quickly turned off the listening bug as they heard noises coming from the hallway and his PDA into his pocket. A guard opened the door and allowed another one to enter, he placed a tray of water and bread on the ground and then left the cell and then the door shut again automatically after five seconds.
"Okay so we know what we're up against tomorrow" Dayla said. "That means we have time to think of a strategy for the fight"
"It's too bad they confiscated my wrist bracelets so I can activate my suit" Valerie said.
"And we'll still have trouble since our powers are depleted through the cuffs they put on us during the fights" Danny pointed out.
Sam then thought of something and said, "You know…Walker and Bullet are gonna be busy watching the fight right?"
"Right" Everyone else answered.
"And Tucker you won't be able to come out if you're sick right?" Sam.
"Right" Tucker said. "But I'm not sick"
"But tomorrow you will be" Sam said with a cunning smile. "The plan is simple, in the morning when they come to collect all of us to watch the fight, you and Valerie are gonna pretend you're both so sick, neither of you can't come out of the cell and then I'll snatch the remote off the guard while he's not looking. Then after we leave Tucker, while Danny and Dayla keep Walker and Bullet distracted during the big fight you hack into the security system with your PDA to get yourself out of the cell and then both of you need to head for the security room and hack into the system through there"
"Okay but what about after the fight?" Andrew asked. "What do we do after that?"
Sam then continued, "I'm getting to that part. Before the final match begins, Tucker will need to activate the alarm making it look like there's someone escaping from the cells and when Walker and Bullet along with most of the guards go to investigate and then Tucker and Valerie will head back to the arena and unlock us from our chairs, we get Danny and Dayla out of the fighting cage and we're home free"
"That's brilliant Sam" Dayla said. "Guys the security office is just down the hall to the left as we entered the cells. Chances are that's where they're keeping our equipment as well so make sure to grab that just in case"
"Okay" They both said with a nod.
"The chances are this plan might fail, but it's the best shot we have" Sam said.
"Wait what do we do about Walker?" Valerie asked.
"If it comes to that, we'll handle Walker" Dayla answered.
"We better eat something and get plenty of rest for tomorrow" Danny said.
They all shared the bread and water and then planned out for the fight tomorrow. Sam laid down with Danny who then changed into his human form as well as Dayla who laid down in the arms of Andrew. Tucker laid down and was about to fall asleep when he felt Valerie lied down in front of him, he smiled and placed his arm around her as they all fell asleep.
Meanwhile in the middle of the night, a guard flew up to Walker and Bullet and said, "Sir you won't believe who we captured wondering around the Ghost Zone"
Bullet and Walker followed the guard outside and then saw a large metal cage, Walker looked inside and grinned at who he saw inside. He then turned to Bullet and said, "I believe that I may have found our last opponent for the match"
Morning had come and they all woke up, Danny now had full movement back in his body and they could hear the crowd roaring in excitement out in the arena. They both sighed and changed into their ghost forms.
"Good luck out there Danny" Sam said looking down sadly. Danny pulled her into a tight embrace and they both shared a deep kiss.
"We'll be fine Andrew" Dayla said as she and Andrew hugged each other. "I promise"
They both kissed and then they heard the sound of the guards coming down the hall. Valerie then quickly said, "Okay Tuck. Let's make this look good"
He nodded and they both started pretending to be sick, making fake groans of pain as a guard came in with the cuffs in his hand.
"What's the matter with them?" The guard asked as placed the cuffs on Danny and Dayla's wrists and activated them with a remote.
"Our friends are sick" Danny answered with a glare. "I don't think they should come out"
He gave them a sceptical look, unaware that Andrew had quickly grabbed the remote from the guard's pocket while he was distracted.
"How do I know you two ain't just faking it?" The guard asked suspiciously.
What the guard didn't realise that Valerie had taken a large sip of water and held it in her mouth, she then pretended to vomit all over the ground. The guard looked at her in disgust and just said, "You two stay. The rest of you come, unless you want to get hit by my baton"
They all followed the guard out of the cell door and then he locked it. Tucker and Valerie then stopped pretending to be sick and silently high fived each other.
"Stage one complete" Tucker said. "We'll start stage two in ten minutes"
Sam and Andrew were taken by the guards to the box seats where Walker and Bullet were once again and chained them by their wrists and ankles again. Andrew made sure that the remote was still tucked away in his pocket until the time was right, they both watched as the guards pushed Danny and Dayla into the fighting cage.
"You ready for this?" Danny asked.
"Yeah. Let's do this" Dayla said.
Bullet stood up with the mic and announced, "Welcome! Once again Danny and Dayla Phantom are in the cage ring and today we have something very special for you all. Today they will fight their next seven opponents at the same time"
The crowd roared in excitement over the sound of that, the cage door then opened and to Danny and Dayla's shock and surprise Skulker, Technus, Desiree, Ember, Bertrand (in the form of a lion), Vortex and Lunch Lady had entered the ring.
"Wasn't expecting this" Danny and Dayla both said at the same time.
Skulker activated his bladed at one of his wrists and said, "Looks like a free opportunity to skin both your pelts on my wall"
"But you guys aren't prisoners" Dayla said. "How the heck did Walker convince you all to fight?"
"Simple. We all share the same opinion towards you two" Ember said as she prepared her guitar.
They all smirked and said in unison, "HATE YOU!"
"So Bullet came to us all and said you two were here sweetie…" Lunch Lady began in her sweet little voice but then turned violent as she finished, "AND WE SAW THE CHANCE TO BEAT YOU TO YOUR DOOM!"
Danny and Dayla both gulped in nervousness and before they could react Bullet announced, "FIGHT!"
Ember sent an ecto wave from her guitar and hit them dead on, sending them straight into the cage bars. Danny and Dayla landed on the ground, Skulker then tried to swipe at them with his blades but they both dodged left and then leapt onto the cage bars and held on.
Vortex grinned and laughed as he sent an electric current of lightning on the metal of the bars, Danny and Dayla both screamed in pain as they were electrocuted and then fell to the ground. Their uniform was starting to get ripped up from the fight and bruises and scratches could be seen on their arms and faces.
Lunch Lady then picked up Danny by the collar of his shirt while Bertrand pinned Dayla down to the ground. Lunch Lady then summoned a large chicken drumstick and slammed Danny to the ground right next to Dayla who tried to get up but Bertrand growled and dug his claws into her arms causing her to yelp in pain.
Lunch Lady and Bertrand then stood back to allow Desiree and Technus to have a piece of them. Danny and Dayla both struggled to get up, they could hear the shouts of Sam and Andrew, "Don't give up! / Come on guys! You can do it!"
Desiree was about to blast them with her magic but they both managed to dodge out of the way, but then was grabbed by Technus who used some technology he brought with him to create metal claws and held them still.
"I Technus shall deliver the finishing blow" Technus announced as his hands glowed with ecto energy.
Sam and Andrew both cringed in fear, Walker grinned evilly waiting for his plan to be complete. Danny then thought of something and quickly said, "What's that Technus? Apparently Ember and you are dating behind Skulker's back?"
Technus stopped and turned to see a very angry Skulker who growled, "WHAT?!"
"Wait! We're not…" Ember tried to protests but Skulker had grabbed Technus causing him to drop Danny and Dayla and punched him right in the face.
While Technus, Ember and Skulker continued to fight each other, Danny then said, "Oh Bertrand! Did you really sneak veggie burgers into Lunch Lady's fridge before coming here?"
"YOU WHAT?!" Lunch Lady screamed in anger as she prepared another large chicken drumstick and turned on the now scared Bertrand.
"Now Lunch Lady you don't honestly believe…" Bertrand tried but then yelped as he dodged the incoming poultry meat.
Dayla at first was confused but then caught onto what Danny was doing. She then turned to Vortex and said, "Vortex! How could you call Desiree fat and ugly?"
"But…I d-didn't do that…I…" Vortex stammered and was suddenly blasted by pink energy. Desiree screamed as she attacked him, "YOU'RE DEAD WEATHER BOY!"
All of them fought each other, throwing blasts, attacking with their weapons. Danny and Dayla smirked at their achievement.
Meanwhile back at the cells, Valerie checked the hallways through the window and said, "It's all clear Tucker"
Tucker finished hacking into the door's computer and the cell door opened, they both then walked out and started heading for the security room quietly and stealthily. They looked through the slightly opened door to see one guard watching the fight from the camera and on the shelves was all their gear.
They both managed to creep in very quietly so the guard didn't notice and then Valerie saw the dart gun they used to knock them out, she grinned and grabbed the gun off the shelf and aimed it at the guard.
She then fired and the dart hit the guard dead in the arm, he yelped and turned to see where the dart had come from. He immediately felt drowsy and as he started to fall asleep, he heard Valerie say, "Sweet dreams"
He then fell to the ground and lost consciousness. Tucker shut the door as Valerie got her bracelets and placed them back on her wrists, she then pushed the button and activated her ghost hunting suit.
"Okay Tucker you get to work and I'll keep lookout" Valerie said and stood guard at the door.
Tucker nodded and walked over to the computer and started hacking into the system with his PDA. Meanwhile everyone back in the arena continued to watch Danny and Dayla's enemies fight each other, they all started getting tired from fighting each other and eventually they all knocked each other out with blasts from each other, even Skulker who was blasted right out of his suit by Desiree leaving a weak Bertrand in his human ghost form.
Danny and Dayla walked up to him with smirks on their faces, Bertrand gave them a weak pleading smile but they both then delivered a hard punch to his face and knocked him out cold. Andrew and Sam cheered while the crowd remained silent.
Walker growled in anger as the guards took the unconscious forms from the cage and started heading for their lairs to return them home. Walker continued to glare at Danny and Dayla who were panting in exhaustion and were close to collapsing but managed to stay standing.
"Bullet you know what to do" Walker said.
Bullet announced on the mic, "And now they will face their final opponent!"
"What?! Can't you see they need a break?!" Sam shouted in anger. Andrew then shouted, "They can barely stand right now!"
"Shut up punks!" Walker hissed.
The guards brought forward a large metal box and then opened the cage door, one of them then pulled the lever and out came Wulf with a brand new collar on his neck. Their eyes widened as they saw each other and then glared up at Walker when they realised he was forcing them to fight each other.
Walker then announced, "Whoever wins this fight, will earn their freedom"
"FIGHT!" Bullet shouted.
But neither of them made a single move. Dayla then said, "Mi ne povas batali vin Wulf (I can't fight you Wulf)"
"Nek volas min (Neither will I) "Danny then said.
Wulf looked at them in sadness and said, "Mi scias. Mi ne batalos vi miaj amikoj (I know. I won't fight you my friends)"
They both smiled at him but then heard Walker shout as the crowd began shouting in anger, "Didn't you hear me?! FIGHT!"
They all glared at him and Danny shouted, "We won't fight! We're not gonna play by your rules Walker!"
"We never hurt our friends!" Dayla then shouted.
"Vi ne havas honoron fiulo! (You have no honour villain!)" Wulf then shouted in Esperanto.
Walker growled and suddenly pulled out a small remote with a green button, he then pressed it and then Danny, Dayla and Wulf screamed in pain as the collar and the cuffs started electrocuting them. Valerie watched on the screen in the monitoring room and gasped at the sight.
"Tucker now might be good" She pressed.
Tucker pressed the last few buttons on his PDA and then pressed the button and started the alarm. Walker stopped pressing the button as the loud siren indicating an escape from the cells, Danny, Dayla and Wulf fell to their knees feeling weak from the electrical assault.
"Bullet you and the guards go and investigate and stop whoever is escaping" Walker commanded.
Bullet nodded and then took the guards with him, Sam nodded at Andrew who then pulled out the remote from his pocket and pressed it. Danny and Dayla's cuffs fell off and they felt their powers return, they both grinned as Tucker and Valerie grabbed the rest of the gear Walker had taken from them and then flew on Valerie's hover board to the arena.
"WHAT THE?!" Walker shouted in surprise as he saw Valerie and Tucker heading right for them.
Valerie blasted Walker with her blaster and hit him dead on, sending him right out of the seats and causing him to drop the remote to Wulf's collar. The crowd all flew out of the arena screaming in fear. They landed near Sam and Andrew and Valerie used a high tech laser to get the chains off their hands and feet, they smiled as they were free from the chair. They all then went down the cage and pulled the lever to unlock it, letting Danny, Dayla and Wulf out.
"Tenu ankoraŭ Wulf. Mi ricevos tiu kolumo de vi (Hold still Wulf. I'll get that collar off you)" Tucker said as he connected his PDA to the collar.
He typed in a few buttons and override the system on the collar, the collar then fell off and Wulf smiled in relief. He then licked Tucker on the face and said, "Dankon mia amiko (Thank you my friend)"
Tucker smiled but then cringed in disgust as he wiped the saliva off his face and said, "You're welcome"
Everyone laughed but then stopped as they saw Walker get up and float above them. He then sneered at them, "You punks have crossed me for the last time"
Suddenly Danny and Dayla disappeared from the group. Walker's eyes widened and he looked around for them, he suddenly felt two hands tap his shoulder and turned to see a smirking Danny and Dayla Phantom behind him.
They both then blasted him with their ice powers and completely froze him solid, he started falling from the air but Danny and Dayla caught him and placed him on the ground. They all then heard him groan from the inside of the ice, "Not…again!"
"Well let's head for home" Danny and Dayla said in unison.
"Wait a minute. Where are all the guards and Bullet?" Andrew asked.
"Locked in the cell we were in" Tucker answered. "I knew they'd check all the cells and once they entered ours, I locked them inside"
They all laughed including Wulf as they heard the guards and Bullet shout from the cells, "Let us out of here! / It's hard to move! / HELP!"
A week went by since then, Wulf had returned back to Lake Eerie where he was safe and free and Tucker announced his retirement from Mayor of Amity Park. Jazz had come to visit that weekend and they were all at Sam's house celebrating their latest victory and Tucker's retirement, they even invited Johnathan Simmons the new mayor of Amity Park.
"Man what a fight! Let's hope that'll keep Walker and his goons off our back for a while" Danny said.
Johnathan then walked up to them and said, "Mr Foley thank you so much for this opportunity. I won't let you down and I'm looking forward to working with you two"
"Thanks Mr Simmons" Danny and Dayla said in unison.
"I can't believe Wulf got captured by Walker again. What was he doing in the Ghost Zone in the first place?" Jazz asked.
"He was heading to visit Frostbite when he smelled our scent, he followed it and found us at the arena. He figured we were in some kind of trouble and was about to rescue us, but Walker's guards managed to capture him" Dayla answered.
"Well he's free once more and that's what's important" Sam said.
"And I am so glad this is another homework free weekend" Andrew said.
"You got that right" Danny and Dayla both said.
Suddenly the music changed to new wave type of music and Jack suddenly grabbed Maddie and said, "Come on Maddie let's pogo!"
He dragged her to the middle of the room and started dancing. Valerie's dad then joined in, followed by Ida who spun around in circles with her scooter, Kimberly Knight then joined in and started dancing like she was in a disco and then Maurice and Angela Foley joined in and danced with each other.
Valerie, Jazz, Tucker, Danny, Dayla, Andrew and Sam cringed in embarrassment. Danny then said, "I hate to say this but I'm starting to kind of miss the arena"
"No doubt about that bro. No doubt about that" Dayla said as she face palmed herself.
