Danny phased himself and Tucker through the walls and floor until he arrived at the cafeteria.
He then let go of Tucker and the two began walking into the kitchen.
"Ok, so now will you tell me where Sam is?" Tucker asked getting impatient.
Danny stopped walking, turned to face him and pointed down saying. "She's in there."
Tucker looked to where he was pointing and saw… a cheese burger that someone tried to take a bite out of lying on the floor.
"You're joking, right?" Tucker asked disbelieving as he glanced up at Danny.
"No I'm not, our lunch lady disappeared here, the ghost Lunch Lady appeared here and then she disappeared here with Sam." Danny explained. "It must act as some kind of gateway to our world."
"That Lunch Lady must've hit you pretty hard because you sound crazy."
"Just touch the burger Tuck."
"No way, I'm not touching that thing. Who knows how long that's been on the floor and someone already tried to take a bite out of it and…"
Danny rolled his eyes and grabbed Tuckers wrist and put it on the burger.
They were both then surrounded by a green glow before disappearing in a flash.
Danny and Tucker reappeared with the burger in the same position they left, although the room they were in now resembled a meat locker with hallways of boxes and meat, some of it floating haphazardly in the air.
Tucker stood up straight and ran over to a wall of meat boxes exclaiming happily, "Sweet Mother of Mutton! I dreamed of it but I never thought I'd see it for real!"
"Remind me again how I'm supposed to be the crazy one?" Danny asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Let me go!"
Danny quickly turned to the direction of Sam's voice asking, "Did you hear that Tuck?"
"Hear what?"
"Sam's voice, I think it came from that way, come on!"
Danny and Tucker began running down a winding pathway and after a few seconds they reached a turn where they heard the Lunch Lady cackling.
They stopped and peaked around the corner and saw Sam buried in a pile of meat and the Lunch Lady hovering over Sam with her back to the boys.
"Now I'm afraid I can't do that dearie, not until you eat your meat." The Lunch Lady said in a kind voice, holding a chicken leg to Sam.
"Humans don't need to eat meat to survive, that's fact." Sam argued whilst trying to wriggle free.
The Lunch Lady suddenly switched to her angry demeanour and yelled, "Silence! What you need is Discipline! Respect! Do you know where that comes from?! MEAT!"
"Chicken or Fish?" she asked back to being calm.
Danny told Tucker when they pulled away from the corner, "Okay here's the plan, I'll distract the Lunch Lady while you find a way to free Sam from all that meat."
"Already ahead of you Dude." Tucker said smiling while holding a knife and fork.
After giving Tucker a look that said 'why do you even have those with you?' Danny jumped out from the corner and the after he landed he leaped at the Lunch Lady, using his weightlessness to give him a boost, punched her away from Sam and into a wall.
Sam turned away from where the Lunch Lady landed and to Tucker who was beginning to eat the pile of meat she was in.
"Don't worry Sam, the cavalries here."
"My hero." Sam said sarcastically
Meanwhile Danny was leaping toward the Lunch Lady, jumping off of the boxes to give him more height and then proceeded to give her downwards kick.
But the Lunch Lady caught his leg before dangling him upside down saying, "This is exactly why you need to eat more meat! Your nothing but skin and bones!"
She then threw Danny away and he tumble and rolled until he came to a stop.
"Okay, so I'm not as fast as I thought." Danny groaned, getting up.
The Lunch Lady held her hand out to one of the boxes and it lifted itself up and over Danny before dropping on him.
Danny caught the box before it hit him and strained under its weight before the box finally won and hit the floor.
Danny's head then popped out the top of the box with sausages on his head and in his mouth.
Danny spat out the sausages and deadpanned, "Not as strong either."
He jumped out of the box and sprinted toward the Lunch Lady.
The Lunch Lady growled and raised her arm causing kebabs to start flying towards her outstretched hand, forming one giant kebab. She then pulled it back and threw it like a spear towards Danny.
Danny's eye's widened in surprise and as time seemed to slow down he moved to the side barely missing the kebab. Once he wasn't in danger of being skewered he rolled his body around with the momentum from dodging and continued running, without losing any speed, toward the Lunch Lady and punched her back into a pile of boxes.
"Is that all you got?" Danny asked, confidently smirking.
The Lunch Lady got up, raised her hands and screamed in rage, causing all the meat near her to circle her, including the meat that was holding Sam, turning herself into a meat monster.
"Apparently not!" Danny worriedly said, just before the Lunch Lady literally threw a fist at him knocking him off his feet and into a wall.
As Danny got back onto his feet Tucker and Sam ran in between him and the Lunch Lady.
"Don't worry dude we got your back." Tucker said branding a knife and fork.
When the Lunch Lady walk up to them and screamed while towering over them.
"Run?" Tucker feebly asked.
"Run." Danny and Sam answered.
The trio ran off down a hallway with the Lunch Lady giving chase knocking stray boxes aside and absorbing meat that she ran into.
"She still gaining on us!" Sam exclaimed when she looked behind her.
"Sam, grab onto Tucker I've got an idea." Danny said.
Sam followed Danny's instructions, holding Tuckers wrist while he grabbed her hand.
He then transferred his intangibility powers over to his friends and changed direction heading towards where they came in passing by boxes, meat, their lunch lady, more boxes and more meat.
"Wait a minute." Danny realized.
He backtracked until he came across their lunch lady unconscious on a pile of cheese burgers, he then grabbed her with his free hand and continued on the way to the exit.
When they had reached the cheese burger, the Lunch Lady burst through the wall of boxes behind them and screamed in fury before dive bombing them.
Danny quickly dived for the cheese burger and all four of them disappeared in a flash of green just before the lunch lady landed leaving a massive pile of meat.
The trio, plus the lunch lady, reappeared flying and Danny drop their lunch lady in the kitchen before the rest of them phased out of the school tumbling along the ground before coming to a stop, lying on the ground.
"Wow Danny, fighting meat monsters, phasing through walls, I'm surprised you're not tired after all that." Sam said sitting up.
But when she looked over to Danny she saw he had changed back to human and was peacefully asleep.
"Never mind."
"Silver."
"Check."
"Wolfs bane."
"Check."
"Saltwater."
"Check."
"Garlic."
"*BUUUURP* Check."
"JACK!"
"What? That was from the fudge I had earlier. *BUUUURP* Okay that was from the garlic."
"'Sigh' I'm not so sure about this Jack, I mean, what if we hurt accidently hurt our baby girl."
"Don't worry these things are harmless, Shhh, here she comes."
Jazz opened the front door to her house to find the lights off. "Mum? Dad?"
She took a few steps inside when the door behind her closed and gas canisters released thick cloud that blocked her sight.
"Now Maddie!"
*Splash*
"ARGH!"
When the smoked cleared, Jack was holding onto Jazz's legs while Maddie had bucket in her hands and Jazz was dripping wet with a necklace covered in silver spoons, wolfs bane leaves and bits of garlic.
"What, are, you two, doing?" Jazz asked tensely.
"Testing to see if you're paranormal sweetie." Maddie said putting down the bucket.
"Well you didn't have to go through all that because I clearly look human." She said annoyed.
"Not quite, Jazzy-pants." Jack said hopping up before pulling a whiteboard out of 'who-knows-where'.
"You remember how we said most paranormal creatures hid out in a parallel plane of existence?" he asked.
"No." Jazz stated.
"Great." Jack said not listening. "Well this also applies on a genetic level, scientist originally thought that DNA only have a double helix but in actual fact it's a triple helix with two helixes' being the dominant and a third helix storing the genetic code for paranormal creatures.
"Now werewolves are a great example of this. A full werewolf, the ones that are constantly wolfy, is commonly found in the Spectral Plane and they have their third helix as a dominant one."
"While half-werewolves, the ones that only turn wolfy under moonlight, still have their third helix as a recessive. If your one-hundred percent human, then all three helixes will be the same."
"This also applies to Vampires and Mermaids which is why your covered in all that, make sense, right?" Jack finished up pushing the white board away.
Jazz stared blankly at him before going upstairs saying, "I going to take a shower."
After Jazz disappeared from sight Sam and Tucker opened the door carrying an unconscious Danny.
"Hi Mr and Mrs Fenton, poor Danny nodded off so we thought we'd take him home and tuck him into bed without any parental interaction what so ever." Tucker said nervously smiling.
"Don't worry, we remember the way." Sam said matching Tuckers smile as they carried Danny up the stairs, to his room.
Maddie turned to face Jack, who had a thoughtful expression on his face. "Jack, Danny is not a ghost."
"No, you're right."
"Good."
"Jazz is, it's the only thing we haven't tested yet."
'sigh'
Danny slowly began to open his eyes halfway before quickly opening all the way and sitting up in bed gasping.
"What happened?" he quickly asked.
Sam, who was sitting on a chair near the head of his bed, put a hand on his shoulder saying, "Calm down Danny, we took you home after you passed out from exhaustion."
Danny took a deep breath and asked, "How long was I out for this time?"
"You've been out for four days!" Tucker told Danny from his place next to Sam.
"FOUR DAYS!"
"Haha. Na, it's only been a couple of hours. But Sam still refused to leave your side. OWW!" Tucker said before Sam kicked him in the shins.
"Not funny Tuck, anyway do you feel okay Danny?" Sam asked concerned.
"A little tired and sore but other than that I'm fine." Danny said.
"Good, cause I need to get home before my parents throw a fit, so see you at school tomorrow." Sam said waving goodbye as she left Danny's room.
"So did you apologise to her, Tuck." Danny asked.
"Apologise for what?" Tucker asked clueless.
"For getting her kidnapped." Danny reminded.
"Oh yeah! I'd better go do that before I lose her, later dude." Tucker said before running out the door.
Danny laid back on his bed with his eyes closed and hands behind his head and said, "Well, at least everything will be back to normal by tomorrow."
"Or not, maybe it'll be worse"
When Danny had arrived at school he found there were two protests.
One, led by Sam had vegans, hippies, vegetables and fruit and they were all chanting, "Veggies Now! Veggies Forever!"
The other, led by Tucker had meat and a stage with people dressed as sausages and Tucker leading them on with;
"What do we want?!"
"Meat!"
"When do we want it?!"
"Now!"
Both Sam and Tucker noticed Danny arrive so they left their protests and walked over to him and glared at each other from either side of him.
"I'm guessing your apology didn't go to well?" Danny asked Tucker.
"Actually, it went okay." Sam answered.
"Then why are you two glaring at each other?" Danny asked in confusion.
"Simple, the school is going to decide on a new menu so I think it should be all meat…" Tucker began explaing.
"…while I say it should be more green." Sam finished still glaring.
"So you both put together protests in one night?" Danny disbelievingly asked.
"Meat eaters have high protein so were always ready to fight." Tucker said.
"Ultra-Recyclo-Vegetarians don't have to waste time cooking food so we can move fast." Sam explained.
"So who's menu will you be with Danny? Cause you're either with me…" Tucker began.
"Or against him." Sam finished.
"So which is it gonna be?!" they asked moving their gazes to Danny.
"Well…uhhh…why not…both?" he said sweating nervously.
"Because…!" Sam and Tucker began to say but stopped when they realized there was nothing wrong with that idea.
Before either of them could say anything a strong wind picked up and Danny's ghost sense went off.
All three of them looked over to the meat eaters protest and saw all of the meat begin circling in the air around a cheeseburger.
When the meat finished forming into a meat monster twice the height of the school building, it leaned over and shouted in the Lunch Lady's voice, "It's Lunch Time!"
Naturally everyone's reaction was to start screaming and running away.
During all the chaos Danny said to his friends, "You guys should hug and make up. Now!"
Sam and Tucker hugged (with great reluctance, especially from Sam) but they looked around for anyone watching as Danny transformed behind them.
When they pulled apart Danny, in his ghost form, ran between them towards the Lunch Lady.
Meanwhile Jazz was counselling a hunched over teen with a Mohawk and piercings.
"Spike you need to open up to your parents, they can't accept you if you can't accept them."
"You do know that there's a giant meat monster attacking behind you, right?" Spike drawled out.
"You also shouldn't avoid this with fantasies." She said, "I mean it isn't like they're going to attack you or anything."
Suddenly a green net was flung over her and she was dragged away screaming.
"Weird." Spike drawled.
"I got her Maddie." Jack said as he reeled Jazz in. "And the Fenton Grappler is working like charm."
"That's great, but what I don't understand is why didn't she just phase through the net?" Maddie wondered.
"Because I am not a GHOST." Jazz exclaimed.
Behind Jazz and her parents, Danny, using his weightlessness as a boost, leapt up above the Lunch Lady and delivered a down ward kick slicing the meat in half.
"You've ambushed me, covered me in water and garlic and what's worse, you pulled me from Spike before he had his big breakthrough." Jazz exclaimed.
The sliced in half meat monster reformed and grabbed Danny off the ground and then proceeded to punch him into the ground.
"What do you have to say for yourselves?" Jazz asked.
The Lunch Lady stop punching to get a better look at Danny but was confused when she opened her hand and saw it was empty.
"Eat Fenton Thermos ghost gal!" Jack exclaimed pointing a thermos at her.
When all it did was let off sparks Jack shook it and said annoyed, "Darn it, this thing still doesn't work."
The Lunch Lady looked at the area she was punching when Danny reappeared in her still raised hand and launched through her, blasting her pieces.
"And do you know why? Because it's meant to capture something that does not exist." Jazz said staring at her farther.
After a few seconds Jack sighed and said, "You're right Jazz, ghosts and the supernatural…"
Suddenly Danny phased between them and landed roughly on the ground.
"…DO EXIST! HA, I was right all along! Never doubted it for a second!" Jack exclaimed triumphantly.
As Danny got to his feet Jack pulled out the Fenton Thermos asking, "Any final words ghost?"
Danny looked at the thermos, Jack and then finally behind them at the flying meat fist before pointing at it saying, "Look Out!"
"HA, Like I'd fall for tha…" Jack was cut short as the meat fist slammed into them covering himself Maddie and Jazz in meat.
"I did try to warn you." Danny said before running past them back to the Lunch Lady.
As he was running back he got surrounded by mini meat minions that formed from the leftover meat.
The meat minions rushed him and Danny dropped into a handstand and spun his legs so they sliced all of the meat minions in one go.
When he landed back on his feet, he smirked at accomplishment but it disappeared when he saw the meat minions reform.
The rest of meat began reforming around the Lunch Lady as she laughed, "My balanced diet of Doom is unbeatable!"
Danny then noticed that the meat wasn't forming around her specifically but a cheeseburger.
"…a gateway…of course!" he muttered in realization.
Danny began running at the Lunch Lady, phasing though anything in his way, before leaping at the cheeseburger and grabbing it when he passed through the giant meat monster.
The Lunch Lady turned around when Danny landed behind her and when she saw the cheeseburger in his hand she exclaimed in fear, "No don't!"
"Sorry, but lunch break…" Danny said throwing the cheeseburger on the ground and stamping it to pieces, "…is over!"
"NOOOOOO!" The Lunch Lady yelled as the giant meat monster glowed bright green before returning to normal and falling to pieces, Lunch Lady nowhere in sight.
Once the meat monster finished falling apart Danny returned to normal as Sam and Tucker came up and Sam asked, "What happened?"
"That cheeseburger was acting as an anchor point for the ghost so no anchor, no more ghost." Danny explained.
Before either of them could say anything more, Jack, Maddie and Jazz running up with Jack quickly asking, "Kids, did you see a ghost come by here?"
"He went that way." The trio answered simultaneously with Danny pointing behind them, Tucker pointing to the left and Sam pointing to the right.
"We got a runner!" Jack exclaimed running off in a direction that none of the trio had pointed to, with Maddie in tow.
"Great, back to square one." Jazz grumbled before walking away.
"So you're not going to tell your parents?" Tucker asked.
"No, not yet anyway, but I think I know why I got these powers. They're to help me protect the town from paranormal attacks." Danny explained.
"'Attacks', as in more than one?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, I don't think this will be the only attack and someone has to stand up and be a hero so why not the guy with superpowers?"
Sam and Tucker shared a quick glance before Tucker said, "Okay, then we'll help you."
"What? No, you guys can't get involved it's too dangerous." Danny argued.
"Too bad, we're going to help you whether you like it or not." Sam countered.
Danny made incoherent sounds as he tried to think of a way to make them change their minds until he finally sighed saying, "You're going to try and help no matter what I say or do aren't you."
"Yep" Sam and Tucker replied simultaneously.
"Okay fine, but you two need to hang back where it's safe." Danny said.
"No guarantees." Sam answered smiling and soon Danny and Tucker smiled as well at the newly formed paranormal fighting team.
"Anyone else get the feeling we forgot something important?" Tucker suddenly asked.
"Don't think so why?" Danny asked.
"How about the fact that you're all in a world of trouble." Mr Lancer said when he put his hand on Danny's shoulder.
"Oh, now I remember." Danny muttered, frowning.
"Manson! Pick up that T-bone!" Mr Lancer yelled into a megaphone.
"With my hands." Sam complained.
"Foley! pick up that turf-which!"
"With my hands." Tucker complained.
"Mr Baxter, keep an eye on them." Mr Lancer said to Dash giving him the megaphone before walking away eating a chicken.
"You heard the man, get back to work and do as I say!" Dash yelled into the megaphone.
Danny looked annoyed at Dash before his gaze drifted upwards to a pile of meat on the roof that was about to fall down.
"Hey Dash, you probably shouldn't move to the left." He said smiling.
"You don't tell me what to do Fenton, I do." Dash said as he moved to the left.
When he finished moving he looked smugly at Danny before the pile of meat fell on him.
"Fenton, Help!" Dash cried out, trapped in the meat.
"Whatever you say Dash." Danny laughed out with his friends.
Updated: (10/3/16)
Here you go, the last chapter for Mystery Meat. And good thing too, I would've gone crazy if I had to type 'meat' one more time.
I hope that Jack's explanation on the paranormal wasn't too confusing, if it was then I either need to retype it or you need to pay better attention to biology or look online.
Reviews:
Phantom Fire1: Every villain from DP will be in this though they won't all be ghosts, some will be OOC and I will try to add other original enemies.
AlienGhostWizard14: Thanks and you'll have to wait and see.
Luna Lillyth: Probably, you'd still feel the wall going through you and if there's nothing stopping you, you'd end up passing through a lot of stuff.
GuardianWitchDemiGhost: Thanks for the suggestion and the support and as for that possible Zoom reference, I wasn't thinking about that when I wrote it down but I did watch the movie before I started writing this fic so I might've subconsciously got the idea from it. (And yeah, it is kinda funny.)
So Please R&R and I'll see ya later.
