THE RETURN OF THE GUYS IN WHITE
In the woods of Lake Eyrie, near a cave that seemed like normal but inside that led deep underground was a hidden facility and this facility was home to the Guys in White, the ex-government's ghost hunting agency.
After the Disasteroid, the Guys in White had still tried to hunt down Danny and Dayla Phantom despite the fact that they were half-human, the government had decided enough was enough and disbanded the agency. Though most of the agents had accepted it and moved on to different work forces, the rest of the agents were outraged and had went underground as a rogue agency.
Now they were on the hunt for revenge against Danny and Dayla Phantom. Agent O closely monitored the computer at some video images of Danny and Dayla in their recent ghost fights, recording the new powers that they had attained and some of their fighting moves while Agent K was fine tuning something on a lab table.
Agent K then stopped and smiled as he looked at his work now completed and then turned to Agent O and said, "They're ready"
Agent O turned around and smiled as she said, "Excellent. We now have everything we need to finally capture those punks known as Danny and Dayla Phantom"
It was night time in Amity Park, Sam was getting the last of her gear ready to go on patrol with everyone else and then headed downstairs and was waiting for the others to come by. Her parents were gone for their anniversary trip to Europe so it was just her and her grandmother in the Manson home.
She heard a knock at the door and then Ida opened it to reveal Danny, Andrew, Dani, Dale, Valerie and Tucker. She then said, "Hello dearies"
Sam stood up and then noticed there was someone missing from their group and asked, "Where's Dayla?"
"Right here" said a sickly voice behind them all. They all parted to reveal a very sick looking Dayla in her human form.
"Dayla are you okay? You look really bad" Sam asked in concern as they all walked inside.
"Not really" Dayla answered and then let out a sneeze. She blew her nose into the hanky and then said, "This bug I seemed to have picked up has just gotten worse. I was feeling fine this morning, then on the way here I just got worse"
"Did you realise that before or after you vomited in the Spectre Speeder?" Tucker asked jokingly but everyone just glared at him.
Tucker smiled nervously and then just remained quiet. Danny then asked, "Sam is it okay if Dayla stays here while we're out on patrol?"
"Of course she can" Sam said. Ida then smiled warmly and took Dayla by the hand and led her to the couch, "You just rest dearie and I'll warm up some soup for you"
"Thanks Grandma Manson" Dayla said and then let out a sneeze. She groaned as she felt a headache come on. Andrew came up and helped lie her down on the couch and placed the small pillow under her head. He then kissed her on the forehead and said, "I'll see you after patrol"
She smiled warmly at him and said, "Good luck guys. I'm sorry about this"
"Don't worry about it sis. It happens, just get some rest" Danny said as he and the others left.
As Danny and the others flew around town, they were unaware that the Guys in White agents were monitoring them in hiding, waiting for the right moment to strike.
"Phantom One has been sighted" Agent O reported over his radio. He then asked, "Agent K, what's the report of Phantom Two?"
"Phantom Two is still at the Manson home" Agent K answered through the radio. "We're moving in to obtain target in less than five minutes. Go ahead and proceed at your end when ready"
Agent O then nodded at an agent, who pressed a button which opened the doors of three vans and out came a large ghost snake, a ghost wolf and some sort of three eyed purple monster ghost with two large horns on its head.
The ghosts were immediately detected by Team Phantom and they found the ghosts chasing after people in the middle of the town. Danny then started saying, "Okay Tucker, Valerie and Dani you guys cover the left and take on the ghost wolf. Andrew, Dayla…."
"Uh Danny? Dayla is sick remember?" Dale corrected.
"Oh right. Okay Dale, Andrew and Sam you guys cover the left and take on the ghost snake" Danny ordered. "I'll take on the ghost snake. Let's move"
They all then charged at the ghosts, Dale blasted the ghost snake back with an ecto blast from his feet, Sam then sent a blast at it with her wrist ray sending it near Andrew who pulled out the Fenton Fisher and wrapped the line all around it, struggling to hold the snake still as it wriggled around like a worm.
Valerie sent multiple nets at the ghost wolf but it kept dodging each one, Dani then managed to grab the wolf by its tail and started spinning it around in a circle, Tucker pulled out the thermos and got ready to capture it. Dani let go of the tail and the wolf howled as it flew into the air towards Valerie who then blasted it back with her blaster, sending it flying towards Tucker and then Tucker activated the thermos and with one final howl, the wolf was sucked into the thermos and Tucker capped the thermos closed.
"Andrew let go of the snake when I say!" Dale called out. "Sam get ready with the thermos!"
Both of them nodded and Sam got into position with the lid off the thermos. Dale then called out, "NOW!"
Andrew let go of the fisher and before the snake could do anything, Dale let out a large burst of energy from his body and sent the snake straight for Sam who activated the snake and sucked it inside the thermos.
"That's two ghosts wrapped up tight" Sam said.
Danny continued to dodge the claws of the monster ghost. It then suddenly looked on in fear and then ran off heading for the woods near the city.
"That was weird" Danny said. "I'm not that scary"
"Do you want our help?" Valerie asked. Danny shook his head and answered, "Nah. I'll go after it, I'll meet you guys at the park in an hour after I get this ghost"
They all nodded and then continued the patrol while Danny started following the tracks of the ghost monster, but he couldn't help but feel like something was wrong.
Meanwhile at the Manson home, Dayla finished the soup Ida had made her and was resting on the couch. Ida came into the living room and pulled up on her scooter next to her and felt her forehead and said, "You're still very warm dearie. Are you feeling any better?"
"Still the same Grandma Manson" Dayla answered. She then winced as she felt the cut on her arm which had healed into a scar suddenly give off a jolt of pain.
"Are you alright?" Ida asked. Dayla then answered after letting off a sneeze, "A cut on my arm that I got during a fight suddenly just gave me a jolt of pain"
"I might have to call a doctor here" Ida said and then started driving out of the living room when suddenly…
CRASH!
The front window was suddenly busted and in came Agent K along with several other Guys in White Agents swarmed inside.
"What the…." Dayla began to shout but then was cut off when suddenly one of the agents fired a dart and it hit her dead in the arm.
She immediately felt drowsy and suddenly she lost consciousness. An agent then cuffed Dayla's hands with anti-spectral handcuffs and then Agent K picked her up bridal style while the others held Ida back.
"Put her down right now! I'll call the police!" Ida shouted in anger but then suddenly all of the agents lifted her up by the bottom of her scooter and carried her to a large walk in closet and put her down. Agent K smirked as they shut the door and locked it from the outside and he said, "By the time you call the police, we'll be long gone"
Ida kept slamming her hand on the door, she even tried ramming her scooter at it a couple of times but it would not budge or break open.
All the agents then walked outside and then Agent K placed Dayla in the back of one of the vans and then got inside the driver's seat while the others got inside the back, keeping their guns aimed at Dayla in case she woke up.
As they drove off, Agent K activated the communicator in his ear and said, "Agent O, target Phantom Two has been captured. Heading back to base now"
"Copy that Agent K. My team is about to capture Phantom One" Agent O replied through the communicator. "We'll return to base as soon as target is acquired"
Danny continued to follow the footprints of the monster ghost deeper and deeper into the woods, he then stopped as the tracks stopped right in the middle of a large circle of trees. He stood still and kept on guard as that strange feeling grew stronger by the second.
He suddenly heard the sound of a twig snapping and then suddenly four large poles emerged from the ground letting off electricity.
"What the…." Danny began to exclaim but then screamed as he was hit the electric impulses hard and he lost consciousness and changed back into his human form.
The poles stopped electrocuting him and then disappeared back into the ground, Agent O and the other agents then came out and then two of them cuffed Danny's hands behind his back using another pair of the anti-ghost cuffs and then started dragging him out of the forest.
"Target ghost has been captured" Agent O reported through the communicator to Agent K. "Heading back to base now. Our ETA should be at twenty two hundred hours"
Meanwhile at the park Dani, Dale, Sam, Tucker, Andrew and Valerie were still waiting for Danny but he hadn't shown up at all.
"It's been nearly two hours since we last saw Danny. I'm starting to get worried" Sam said after checking her watch and saw the time.
"Maybe he went back to your place Sam" Andrew suggested. He then thought about it and then added, "Then again, Dayla would've called me and told me Danny was there or Danny would have contacted us and said to meet at your place"
"We better head over there just in case" Dani said. "Who knows? He could be there checking up on Dayla and forgot to tell us"
With that they all headed over to Sam's house but then stopped dead in their tracks as they saw the broken front window, they immediately ran inside and each of them called out hoping they would answer, "Danny! / Dayla!"
"Hello?! Is anyone out there?! Help!" They heard the sound of Ida calling out.
Sam heard banging on the wardrobe door near them and walked over and opened it to reveal her grandma with now a scooter with a dent on the front of it from hours of ramming it against the door.
"Grandma are you okay?" Sam asked as she hugged her.
"I'm fine bubala" Ida answered as she hugged her back. Sam then asked, "Where's Dayla? And have you seen Danny?"
"Dayla has been kidnapped! Those Guys in White broke into the house and took her, I tried to stop them dearie but they locked me in the closet before I could call you or the police" Ida answered.
Everyone's eyes widened in fear at the sound of the rogue agency's name. Valerie then said, "I thought those guys were shut down"
"Looks like they're definitely not. One time when Dani and I were in Washington, we had heard rumours about the agency still operating behind the governments back, but I didn't think those rumours were true" Dale said. Dale's eyes then widened in fear and he exclaimed, "Oh no!"
"What is it Dale?" Tucker asked.
"Think about it, the whole night we've been on patrol and everything's quiet but then suddenly three ghosts just randomly attack us and then one of them runs off heading for the woods" Dale explained. "Which means somehow the monster ghost knew when to run off, leading Danny to a perfectly laid trap and who probably set the trap?"
Everyone suddenly got it and they all shouted, "The Guys in White!"
Danny groaned as he woke up and regained consciousness, he tried to sit up but found that he couldn't and when he fully opened his eyes, he gasped as he found himself strapped to an examination table with glowing green straps around his wrists, ankles, stomach and neck.
His eyes widened in fear as he heard a familiar groan, he then turned and saw Dayla strapped to another examination table right next to him.
"Dayla wake up!" Danny called out.
Dayla woke up and then panicked as she found herself strapped on an examination table and then sneezed followed by a cough. She then asked, "Where are we? Last thing I remember was the Guys in White had crashed right through Sam's front window"
Before Danny could say anything, a brighter light suddenly shone down on them and they winced because it was so bright in their eyes.
"You're at the end of the line for you both" Agent K said with a smirk as he and Agent O came out of the shadows.
"Agent O and K" Danny growled. "Should've guessed you guys wouldn't quit even after the government had shut you down"
"That was true but who said we have to follow by the governments rules" Agent O said as he continued to grin. "After you two had revealed yourselves, we were so fascinated by you and your sister's unique genetic construction that of course we wanted to know. Unfortunately the President was disgusted by how we wanted to question you and became even angrier when we continued to hunt you down and then shut us down and although the ones who left and betrayed us accepted their fate, we who are truly loyal to the cause of hunting and destroying ghosts remained and went into hiding. For months we have been planning this, watching you two in observation, recording every single new power you two have gained and ways to make sure we keep you both contained"
"And now that we have you, we're going to have some real fun together" Agent K finished and then touched Dayla's face, causing her to cringe in slight fear and then cough.
"Don't touch her! How can you two be so heartless?!" Danny shouted in anger. "Can't you both see she's sick? She needs to get out of here and see a doctor!"
Agent O growled and then slapped Danny across the face and then pushed a button on a remote, Danny and Dayla both suddenly screamed as they both felt electrical currents flow through the restraints and hit their bodies hard.
Agent O finally let go of the button and stopped electrocuting them, both of them panting and groaning in pain. He then sneered right in Danny's face, "Sick or not you two will be going through lots and lots of very slow and painful experiments. I suggest you both get comfortable, you're both going to be here for a very long time"
Agent O and K then left the room, four more agents then walked in and then two of them each placed some sort of high tech bands around their forearms and the another one pushed the button and the restraints came loose and the tables lifted up and they both fell to the floor.
The agents disappeared and then before Danny or Dayla could do anything, they both became trapped in separated large test tubes and then they heard Agent K say, "Commencing the first experiment. Seeing how much pain these two can take from Blood Blossom gas"
Danny and Dayla's eyes both widened in fear at the sound of that and then suddenly, a red gas had started seeping through the tubes and filled them up quickly like a thick fog. The pain was immediate and as Danny and Dayla's bodies started glowing, they both fell to their knees holding their stomachs as they both let off ear piercing screams.
Meanwhile back in Amity Park, morning had come and Sam, Tucker, Andrew, Valerie, Dani and Dale were getting ready with Jack and Maddie to go and rescue Danny and Dayla. They had grabbed as many weapons as they could and Andrew grabbed the Booo-merang since it was still locked into Danny and Dayla's ecto signature and it would enhance their chances of finding them.
They all climbed into the Spectre Speeder 2, which Jack had made it bigger, faster and that it had more room with passenger seats. The total the new vehicle could now carry up to 15 people. Maddie took the wheel and started the engines, a hole in the lab opened up and then Maddie drove the vehicle through the long tunnel and exited out of the hole where the pool outside lifted up and they stayed still in the air.
The front window opened and then Andrew commanded the device in his hand, "Find Danny and Dayla"
He then threw the Booo-merang and then the window closed as he sat back down and then at top speed, Maddie drove the speeder after the tracking device, the police following them in the squadron cars after Jack had called them and reported the Guys in White.
Back at the secret headquarters of the Guys in White, Agent O and K as well as the other agents continued to grin at the sound of Danny and Dayla's screaming and then Agent O pushed the button and the suction tubes cleared out the gas from the tubes, leaving Danny and Dayla feeling so weak as their bodies stopped glowing.
They could barely stand up but the torture wasn't over as Agent T then pushed a button and then suddenly massive bolts of electricity came from their high tech armbands and they both screamed again as they were electrocuted and then Agent T pushed the button again and stopped the electrical currents, leaving Danny and Dayla feeling weaker.
"Those armbands not only lock your ghost powers away ghost freaks, but they also electrocute you both with simply the push of a button" Agent T said.
Danny groaned as he turned his head, he saw Dayla panting hard and he could see she was starting burn up as sweat trickled down her face and she seemed to be in more pain than she was before. He turned to the agents standing outside the tube and pleaded, "Please let my sister go. You have me. Can't you see she's in pain? I won't try to escape but only if you let her go"
"Now why would we do that? Sorry ghost boy but we have worked too hard to capture you two finally and we aren't about to let you two hybrids out of our grasp" Agent K said with a smug grin. He then commanded, "Agent T and Agent S, grab the boy and have him on the table ready for his dissection. He shall have the honour of going first"
Both Danny and Dayla's eyes widened in fear and then Dayla screamed as the two agents opened the tube and grabbed the struggling Danny by his arms tightly, "NO DON'T! STOP! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"
She winced and groaned as the burning sensation inside her got worse. The Agents strapped Danny down on the table, this time only by his wrists and ankles him and then one of the agents brought over a table with different dissection tools…
Meanwhile Team Phantom arrived as the Booo-merang lodged into the ground hard in the woods of Lake Eerie. They landed the vehicle on the ground and then exited the Spectre Speeder 2, the stood where the Booo-merang had lodged itself into the ground near an entrance of a cave.
They looked around for any signs of high tech equipment and buildings but there was nothing here. Tucker then said, "I don't get it. The Booo-merang bought us right here so where is Danny and Dayla?"
They kept looking around and then Valerie thought of something as she inspected the cave, she suddenly walked to the centre of the ground where they were and then activated her now upgraded scanner and scanned the ground. Her eyes then widened as her scanner caught two blimps indicating it locked onto two ectoplasmic signatures.
"I've found them!" Valerie called out and everybody ran to them. "No wonder we couldn't find anything. The base is underground"
Tucker immediately started typing on his PDA looking for any connections to the underground base, he finally found a network and continued to type away just as the police arrived and then finally pulled up a map of the base and said as he pointed to the cave, "The entrance is in there"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and kick some butt" Both Dani and Dale said in unison and with no more words, they all charged into the entrance and headed for the base.
Agent O picked up the scalpel in his hand and said with a sickening grin, "I'm going to enjoy this. Oh and don't worry freak, your sister will be next"
Agent Q cut the front of Danny's shirt with the scissors, showing the bare skin of his chest and stomach. Danny started hyperventilating as Agent O started bringing down the scalpel towards his chest, this has always been both Danny and Dayla's greatest fear besides losing everyone they loved; being dissected.
Dayla began panting harder and suddenly she screamed in pain causing everyone to look at her, her right arm suddenly transformed into a red claw like a scorpion, ripping the sleeve of her shirt and destroying the armband, she screamed even more as then a black tail sprouted from her back and her ears pointed up, her eyes changed into a pupiless red as her other arm turned into a scorpions claw and on the front of her teeth sprouted razor sharp fangs. With another scream of anger, she smashed the glass with her claws and broke out of the tube.
"WHAT THE HECK?!" Agent K shouted.
"Dayla!" Danny shouted.
The rest of Team Phantom and the police had just arrived to the lab and all of them gasped in shock at the sight of Dayla. Dayla suddenly charged right at Agent O and knocked him away from Danny with her tail and then punched another agent with one of her claws while shouting, "KEEP AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!"
As chased after the agents who immediately started running out of the facility, Jack unstrapped Danny from the table and then Tucker quickly hacked into the armband and got it off him.
"What happened to Dayla?!" Everyone asked.
"I don't know but I gotta stop her before she hurts herself and anyone else" Danny said as he changed into his ghost form and then flew after Dayla.
Dayla roared as continued to chase after Agent O and K while the police had captured the other agents. The two head agents ran and ran further and further into the woods, for the first time in their lives, Agent O and K were scared and they didn't have any equipment to protect themselves this time.
They continued to run until they hit a dead end, a fifty foot wall of stone. They tried to climb but there was nothing to grab onto, they both then screamed as Dayla finally caught up with them and was raised her claws to attack them when suddenly she heard, "DAYLA STOP!"
She growled and turned to see Danny standing behind her. He then walked up to her slowly and said calmly, "Dayla please. As much as I don't like what they done to us, you can't kill them. The police are here and they will take them, we won't ever see them again"
She continued to growl but then her eyes softened and she looked at herself and whispered in fright, "What's happening to me?"
Danny gently grabbed her clawed hand and said as Jack, Maddie, Dani, Dale, Sam, Tucker, Valerie and Andrew caught up, "We'll figure it out. I promise"
Dayla nodded and then suddenly felt weak, she collapsed in Danny's arms unconscious and before Agent O and K could get away, Dani and Dale tapped them on the shoulders and then punched them, knocking them right out.
It had been a couple of hours since they all returned back to Fenton Works, they were all in the lab and Dayla was lying down on a bed in the large containment unit still asleep. Tears escaped Andrew's eyes and he placed a hand on the glass and whispered, "Dayla"
Maddie was still looking at a blood sample she had taken from Dayla earlier and then Danny asked, "Find anything mum?"
She stopped looking through the microscope and looked down in sadness as she faced them all and said, "Looks like I was right. The DNA I had extracted from Dayla contains the same DNA from those mutant ghost animals we fought against a month ago. The DNA has merged with her already ghost DNA and triggered some form of mutation resulting in what we see right now. What I don't know is how she got infected with this in the first place"
Everyone started thinking and then Andrew's eyes widened as he suddenly remembered that Dayla had pushed him out of the way just as the feline-scorpion ghost mutant animal was about to attack him, resulting in her getting a large cut on her arm. He then said, "It must've happened when she got that cut from the monster attack"
Everyone was silent as they all looked at Dayla. Jack then said, "I'm not going to rest until I have found a cure. I don't care how long it takes, I'm going to save my daughter"
Danny placed his hand on the glass and said, "We all will. Dayla just hang on, we're going to save you. Together"
They were all unaware that Fright Knight had watched everything and had reported back to Vlad in his secret lair. Vlad grinned as he sipped some wine in his human form while sitting on a chair and then said, "Excellent. All the pieces are coming together"
