Sorry for the long wait, I had to focus on school. But I'm let out for Thanksgiving break today to I have plenty of time to write. Thank you guys for the reviews I've been getting in the meantime though! Chapter begins with Tony again.
I don't own Danny Phantom or NCIS
Chapter 7: Against the Rules
To be honest, Tony had turned around expecting someone, or something, that matched the creepy voice he heard. Maybe a dark figure, or some monster with claws; y'know, something scary. Instead, he was immediately calmed by the uniformed figure that looked like some kind of ranger from an old movie.
"Oh," Tony breathed a sigh of relief, "Howdy sheriff. I was just—"
"Who are you?" The figure asked in the same, cold tone as before.
"Anthony DiNozzo, NCIS." Tony said, pulling out his badge.
Walker's eyes narrowed. "An officer of the law, huh? From the human world? No human is allowed here; it's against the rules."
Tony shrugged, "I didn't ask to come here, I just…did."
Walker didn't seem to be listening, "You, as a law abider like myself, should know the Rules. But you broke them."
"What," Tony laughed, "You can't be serious. This place comes with Rules?"
"You need to come with me."
"Um," Tony frowned, getting suspicious, "I don't think so. You've got this all wrong. There seems to be a mistake…"
Walker stared at Tony before pulling out glowing, green handcuffs and making a grab for him. Surprised, Tony drew his gun from his holster and tried to put a little distance between him and Walker. But doing that in midair proved difficult; Tony ended up flailing his arms like an idiot, but not really moving anywhere. Walker grabbed onto his ankle.
"Accessing the Ghost Zone without authorization," Walker drawled, "Possessing real-world items, and resisting arrest. I think we have a problem here."
"Ya think?" Tony muttered as Walker cuffed him, "What have I gotten myself into?!"

Clockwork was nowhere to be found when Danny touched down on Clockwork's doorstep. He entered cautiously into the main room. The ticking of clocks could be heard in the air around them and, looking back, Danny could tell that everyone except Sam and Tucker were wishing they had multiple heads. Ziva and McGee's head was jerking, up, down, and side to side erratically, trying to take everything in, until Gibbs slapped the both of them.
"Stop acting like little kids on a field trip, we've got a job to do!"
"Right boss." Both agents said, stopping immediately.
Sam chuckled.
"So," Gibbs turned to Danny. "Where is this guy, Clockwork? Who is he?"
"Clockwork is a pretty powerful ghost," Danny said, floating around, "He's helped us in sticky situations before."
"So where is he?" Gibbs asked.
"Here." A soft, yet powerful voice, echoed from behind.
Gibbs turned to find a tall ghost wearing a purple cloak; it had a pale blue face and gleaming red eyes. With a sickle in one hand, this ghost looked like the Grim Reaper. Gibbs opened his mouth to speak.
"No need for introductions, Agent Leroy Gibbs," Clockwork said calmly, "I know who you all are." Then, he turned his attention to Danny Phantom.
"Ah…back again?"
Danny looked up at Clockwork's looming figure and nodded, "I need some advice."
Clockwork looked over Danny's shoulder at the NCIS team, thinking. "One of you is missing."
Gibbs frowned, "How would you know that?"
"I know everything," was Clockwork's reply. The omniscient ghost turned back to Danny. "I can't do anything for you. I control time, not people's actions."
At the indignant look on Danny's face, Clockwork raised a hand, "I cannot do anything for you. But I know someone who can."
"What? Who?" Danny said excitedly.
"There is a ghost in the Far Frozen named Frostbite; ask for the Infi-Map. He may be able to help you. Now if you excuse me…"
Clockwork slashed through the air with his sickle and disappeared. Danny, seeing that they had been excused, led the team back out into the swirling Ghost Zone.
"The Far Frozen?" Tucker asked, "I don't think that's a part of the Ghost Zone we've ever been in."
"Yeah," Danny agreed, "It's not on the map. But I've heard of it, somewhere."
"Well, how are we supposed to get there, wherever it is?" Ziva asked, "You can't expect us to just…float around?"
"Let's ask them." Sam suggested, pointing to three ghost blobs in the distance."
"How do we know they can help us?" Tucker asked.
"Let's ask for directions." Sam repeated, getting annoyed.
Danny examined the map, ignoring Sam. "I have a feeling that it's this way."
He flew off, dragging everyone behind him. Sam crossed her arms. "What is with boys and asking for directions?" she muttered to Jazz and Ziva.
Ziva laughed. "They can be as stubborn as horses."
"Um, Ziva," McGee said, "It's mules."
"But horses are stubborn. And who said you could correct my idioms?"
"Well Tony isn't here so I thought…"
Sam looked between the two arguing Agents, amused. They're kind of like Danny,Tucker and I.
The Agent's argument amused Sam and Tucker, who had begun eavesdropping, until Danny suddenly stopped. "Okay, now I'm lost." The ghost-boy said, scratching his head, confused.
"NOW?!" Sam shouted angrily, "How long did it take for your mental GPS to figure that one out?"
"You don't recognize a single thing here?" Gibbs asked.
Danny looked around at all the doors and rocks, then shook his head, "Nope." At Sam's murderous expression, Danny added quickly, "But that's the point, right? I mean, we've never been to the Far Frozen so why should we recognize anything?"
"Ask for directions," Sam said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, okay!"
Danny flew over to some specters nearby who, at the sight of the incoming group, flew away. Danny chased after them yelling, "Hey!"
The ghosts led them to an archway made of ice and floated into the darkness of the passage beyond.
"Ice," Ziva exclaimed, "Where have you seen natural ice in the Ghost Zone, Phantom?"
"Well," Danny said flying through the passage, "Nothing in the Ghost Zone is natural but I get what you mean. This must be the place! I knew I was going the right—"
"Danny! Look out!"
A huge, icy stalagmite loomed out of the darkness and Danny noticed it, too late. With a painful crunch, he crashed into the icicle and fell, down through a hole in the passage and face first into the snow. Everybody else fell into a pile beside him.
"Nice going, Titanic." Tucker quipped, holding his head.
"Shut up," Danny replied, his voice muffled by the snow.
"Where are we?" Gibbs asked. He was beginning to have enough of Phantom's spontaneous actions.
Danny wiped snow off his jumpsuit before looking around. Then, he smiled and turned to the group.
He stretched out his hands theatrically, "Welcome to the Far Frozen…I think."
How was that? Did you like it? Now, Tony's been arrested by Walker! Do you guys have any preferences to who he should meet while there? Or anyone the gang should meet while they search for him?Again, sorry for the delay. PLEASE review!
Till next time,
