Chapter 12: Chaos at the Country Club II
Cujo was on a rampage now, tearing the club apart after he chased off Jean-Luc and Winthrop. Team Phantom was dismayed by all of this.
"Look at the damages. This'll take a long time to clean up..."Star said, agreeing with her boyfriend.
"And Jean-Puke of all people saw them!..."Sam said, shaking her head.
"That's not good!..."Tucker said as Jazz agreed with a nod.
"It's probably going to get worse. We gotta do something..."She said as her brother nodded.
"No kidding. The country club will never forget it. If we're not careful enough, then we might all get banned from this place..."Star said as her boyfriend nodded to her words too.
Danny hid underneath a table, now away from any witnesses.
"I'm going ghost!..."He said as he changed forms and flew to the ghost dog.
Cujo was currently destroying the decor and scaring the patrons, as Team Phantom saw the destruction.
"Cujo, sit! Heel! Stop!..."Danny ordered, as the ghost dog saw him.
"My buddy is here!..."Cujo barked, tail wagging since he was happy to see his friend.
Before he could calm down and change back to his smaller and cuter self, several blasts were sent their way.
"BLAST! BLAST! BLAST!..."Was heard.
Cujo growled, getting defensive while Danny frowned at the sudden attack.
"Now what?..."He muttered when he saw who it was that sent those blasts at them.
He couldn't believe it when he saw two disgraced so-called ghost hunters appeared.
"Freeze ghost mutt!..."O shouted, as pointed his anti-ghost weapon at Cujo.
Danny groaned and a facepalm.
"Not them again..."He said in dismay, as he tried to find a way to protect Cujo.
The Guys in White then marched closer, weapons ready. Eleanor spotted the two men and frowned but also found them oddly familiar for some reason.
"Wait a minute...aren't you the two men who got fired last week?!..."She demanded, ticked.
The two agents frowned.
In addition to their demotions, they had to take some part time jobs in order to help pay their debt...including this place after this woman fired them just because she deemed them "incompetent".
"We're here as government agents for the Guys In White..."Agent O said, glaring at the woman who fired them.
"And we're here for ghost business!..."Agent K said, while the woman frowned.
"Hey, I told you two weren't allowed back here since-..."She was cut off by Agent K making his entrance and pointing his ghost blaster at Cujo, without caring about collateral damages to the country club.
"Step aside, Ma'am! We're here to save you!..." K went as he blasted, but missed and created a visible hole in one of the walls.
The club's owner got angry at that, glaring at him.
"From what?! The walls?!..." Eleanor shouted in fury, since they were shooting aimlessly just now.
"From that stupid ghost dog, you idiot!..."Agent O said, before realizing she was expressing a low opinion of him.
Eleanor glared at that insult, but saw how reckless they were acting as they kept missing and causing more damage to her club.
"If you are after the ghost, then AIM at it the right way!..."Eleanor snarked, not impressed by them at all. "Never mind, I'll just call Jack and Maddie since they are actually REAL ghost hunters..."She said, as she left to go make a call.
Agent O and K heard this and got upset.
"WE ARE REAL GHOST HUNTERS!..."O shouted, before his defective ecto gun fired and hit a potted plant.
Eleanor glared at that.
"I'll be sending the bill for that..."She said, as she left.
Agent O growled at that remark.
He didn't like it but tried to stay focused on the mission that they assigned to themselves, so that they could get back the respect that they lost.
"She'll change her mind after we capture that ghost and send her the bill for our services..."K said, his partner nodding.
"And she'll be sorry for firing us too..."O said, ready for more action.
As the two government guys were thinking of ways to use this to charge money for their "services", Team Phantom were trying to save the day.
"Let's try and get Cujo out of here, before those creeps get lucky!..."Danny said.
Star and the others, who were wearing their disguises, nodded.
They had to work fast.
By having Danny, in his ghost form, be the one to try to get Cujo out of here, Star and the rest of Team Phantom tried to save everyone else in the country club from the unstable area and the GIW's recklessness.
"Cujo, sit! Heel boy!..."Star said, worried about Fifi's boyfriend.
"Down Cujo, no more messes!..."Danny said as he was also worried.
Sam and the others, wearing their disguises, tried to help as they managed to get the patrons to safety and keep the debris from hitting them.
"Little brother, hurry up!..."Jazz said, after protecting an old lady from getting hit from some debris.
Tucker didn't know what to do either and this time it wasn't the platinum room meat distracting him. He tried to help get more civilians to safety, but things kept getting chaotic.
"Yeah, give him a squeaky toy or something!..."He said as he wasn't sure what to do now.
"Or use the thermos!..."Sam reminded.
Danny tried to argue against that but he ended up getting hit by a blast.
"Danny!..."Star shouted in concern.
"OW!..."He yelped, before he saw that it was a stray blast from the GIW's defective weapons.
He also ended up knocking the thermos out of his hands.
"Wow...Uh...We meant to do that!..."K said arrogantly, not wanting to admit that hit was an accident.
"Idiots!..."Danny said, glaring at them as he recovered.
That's when a few stragglers took notice of the chaos, and freaked out even more now.
"Get that beast out of here!..." Some rich snob screamed at the top of his lungs, as he fled the area.
"Gladly!..." Operative O said cruelly, as he began shooting at the ghost dog again.
And missing due to the weapons poor quality.
"Come on, work you stupid thing!..."O said, upset.
"Give me that, you're not doing it right!..."K said as he reached for it.
"No way, use the net launcher!..."He ordered.
"It's all knotted up!..."K complained as they both fought over the weapon.
Star saw this and was NOT impressed to say the least.
"It's like they've gotten dumber since the last time..."She said, shaking her head.
However, they began firing again and due to their impatience and the weapon's poor quality, the aim left a lot to be desired. They hit lots of things, not just the ghosts.
"And their aim's gotten worse too..."Danny said, as he used his ecto-shield to protect the others.
"Where's the thermos?..."He asked, worried.
"We'll look for it. You keep the Weirdos in White from wrecking the rest of the place!..."Sam said, as she and the others tried to find it.
All the while, Cujo kept dodging and blocking the GiW's attacks by phasing throughout the walls, ceiling and floors.
"Hold still, you miserable flea bag!..."K shouted as he kept firing like a mad man.
Cujo obviously didn't listen and the ghost canine even chomped down on one of the blast and randomly coughed it back up.
"Too spicy!..."He said, as he didn't like that taste.
Eleanor saw all that destruction and frowned. She had tried to call Jack and Maddie, but got to voicemail.
"Hello, you've reached Fenton Works. Sorry we are unable to deal with your ghost right now... leave a message and your address, we'll go there and take care of it!..." Jack's voice was heard, before a beap was heard.
Eleanor frowned and was wondering which other emergency was keeping them busy, since she knew how important fighting ghosts is to the town's most eccentric couple.
At Fenton Works
Jack and Maddie were unable to answer, because of a certain someone reading things off a list.
It was Chief Boyle, who was angry over their recent mishap involving the Fenton's and their RV which had been acting up lately.
"Destruction of private, covering me in that slime, and crashing into a fire hydrant... And all of that was just yesterday!..." Chief Boyle said, glaring at the the entire time.
Both Jack and Maddie were afraid to speak up as Boyle resumed to berate them and read their charges.
"Where is a city endangering specter when you actually need one?..." Maddie thought, wishing to be gone.
All the while, she was unaware that the very reason she needed the specter was also the reason she didn't know the answer to her question.
The police chief also wasn't going to let the Fenton parents go just yet without reading everything on his list of their mishaps this past week.
Oh, the irony.
Meanwhile
Eleanor heard this voicemail, sighing as she quickly left a message and hung up the phone, shaking her head in frustration.
"I guess that the chief of police is with them again. Jack and Maddie really need to get an extra soundproof lab for all their experiments in their house...or buy liability insurance..."She said, before turning to her loyal assistant.
"Charles, now. We were already planning on testing the new security system, turn it on..."She said.
"Yes, Ma'am..."He said as he pressed some buttons.
Soon, red lights flashed and alarm sounded as blast doors were covering all openings.
"What's going on?!..."Danny asked, starting to freak out.
Suddenly, they heard an alarm that sounded like Danny's father's voice.
"Fenton Works security systems activated. And all ectoplasmic punks, be prepared for fudge... I mean pain!..."The alarm went as a new security system appeared to have sealed the building.
"Why is that your dad's voice?..." Star asked.
"And why has he not updated that thing to correct that last minute fudge and pain thing?..." Sam asked.
"I forgot...Mom and Dad sold some of their stuff to the club..."Danny said, as a bunch of Fenton brand gadgets appeared.
"Yeah...it was the reason why Dad was able to afford the settlement with Chief Boyle and still have money left to pay for water and electricity...and property damages..."Jazz groaned, as rested a hand on her forehead.
"It's like that chief exists solely to be a hindrance to your parents..." Sam said.
"Well, he was kind of quiet up until they almost fried him on Halloween. Plus, Mom and Dad need to learn to be more careful with their gadgets..." Jazz explained.
That's when a blast came out of nowhere, hitting Danny.
"AHHH!..."Danny said as he was forced out of the club by said blast, as was Cujo.
"Danny!..."Star shouted in worry.
"Cujo!..."Fifi shouted, having seen everything from a distance.
They soon ran out to go check on them, seeing them go through the wall, without intangibility, and seeing them on the ground.
"Well, at least we're out..." Danny said, taking the shrunk down dog in his hands.
However, a ghost shield suddenly appeared and forced them out.
"AHHH!..."Danny yelled, as they were sent flying.
With the two ghosts out of the club, the evil government agents got mad.
"They're getting away!..."K said, upset.
"After them!..."O said as they chased them outside the club.
Eleanor frowned, irritated at the two who left.
"Charles, be sure to call my insurance agency..."She said, as she rubbed her temples. "And check the security tapes. Any damage that WASN'T caused by ghosts, I want to bill those idiots for..."She said, still angry with her ex-employees.
Even if they were part-timers.
"Yes, Madame..."Her assistant said, as he did as he was told.
Outside
Danny and Cujo were ejected and landed by the pool area of the club, or rather, they both landed inside the pool itself.
The ghost boy got up and groaned.
"Just what I needed... a swim..."He muttered.
"Paddle! Paddle!..."Cujo went, dog paddling around Danny.
"Danny!..."Star and the others went as they arrived.
"Are you okay?..."Jazz asked, as her brother sent her a flat look.
"Sorry, standard question..."She said.
"Well... I was sweating..." Danny said in a flat tone, as he dried himself, while Cujo shook the water from her fur.
"Cujo! Not cool!..."Star went, annoyed as the ghost dog sent them an innocent look.
Danny sighed.
"Do you guys have the thermos?..."He asked.
"Found it..."Jazz said, presenting it.
Danny was relieved, before he could use it on the ghost dog, another dog appeared.
"Cujo!..."Fifi said, as she went to him.
"Fifi!..."Cujo said, elated to see her that he even forgot about the attack.
Team Phantom saw Cujo seemed to relax and look happy. He stopped acting out and his tail was wagging, confirming his happiness. He was clearly calming down and seemed to be on the verge of morphing back.
"He really does seem to like her..."Danny said happily, accepting it.
"Looks like it..."Star said, with a giggle.
"Aw, that's sweet!~..."Jazz said, gushing at the sight.
"And strangely creepy..."Tucker said, as he was aware one was a full ghost.
"Still sweet...even if it's admittedly bizarre..."Sam said, as they saw the two dogs interact with each other.
Cujo had begun to calm down and change back to his cute self. However, it didn't last.
"Stop right there, ghost scum!..."The GIW's agents said, as they pointed their weapons at Cujo.
The sight of them ruined Cujo's good mood and he became hostile again.
"THEM AGAIN?!..."He barked, snarling at them.
The Guys in White briefly trembled, but kept acting arrogant as they kept trying to act tough.
"Freeze!..."They both said, acting like they were still a big deal.
"Seriously?..."Jazz asked, frowning.
"Don't they ever know when to give up?..." Star asked in frustration.
"Unlikely..."Her boyfriend said, as the two idiots kept firing their defective weapons, missing and agitating Cujo even more.
Cujo snarled and growled at the agents, using his tail to deflect some blasts.
"Call off you guard mutt, ghost brat!..."One of the agents shouted, but kept firing like a madmen.
"Be right back!..." Danny said, needing to stop this before someone gets hurt.
"Give up, ghost punk!..."O and K both yelled, thinking they were a threat to Danny while still trying to make their weapon work properly and not keep missing.
Which only made things more difficult for them.
Danny wasn't at all threatened by the GiW grunt's barrage of firearms. To him, O and K were little more than human versions of the Box Ghost. The ghost boy even did a couple of dance moves, while dodging the enemy's long range attacks, further frustrating the GiW.
"Are you kidding me?! Is he actually dancing while dodging all of our attacks?! THIS GHOST IS SOME KIND OF LUNATIC!..."K snapped, growing more impatient.
"That or he could just be mocking us. Either way, this just makes me want to shoot him out of the sky even more now!..."O snapped, as he was start to reach the boiling of his anger.
Agent K was worried he'd have to break the rules. Although, he's not opposed to bending the rules when they benefit the greater good. Like his and Agent O's salaries.
That's how O and K thought.
Star, on the other hand, saw the dance moves and giggled.
"Funny, but dangerous. That's too risky. We should do something..."She said, as she was afraid that they'd eventually get a lucky shot.
"Yeah, but I don't know what..."Sam said, worried for her friend and the dogs.
But luck didn't seem to be on the GiW's side.
What happened next made it clear that luck enjoyed toying with them.
The ghost dog then found some of the country club's fancy food dishes outside from a nearby snack bar, and with both of his curiosity and stomach getting the better of him, he immediately ate the fancy dishes. However, he soon found out that his stomach didn't exactly agree with these unique and expensive food offerings.
"Uh oh...I think I ate something bad..."He said, feeling sick now.
Cujo flew between the agents, causing them to shoot each other, then spilling what looks like slime all over them.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!..."The agents both went, disgusted at themselves and their current state.
Team Phantom saw this and were both grossed out and amused.
"Gross...but hilarious..."Danny laughed.
"If I had accepted Mom's invitation and eaten with her, I'd hurl now..."Star said, but giggled a bit.
The agents heard this, and shifted the blame to the ghost kid and his allies.
"I'm billing you for my suit's cleaning!..." Agent O told Agent K.
"And I'm billing YOU for our lost weapons and other equipment, as well as our car!..." Agent K replied.
"And why the heck is that MY problem?!..."Danny asked, as the two agents narrowed their eyes at him and came up with excuses.
"You and your stupid dog did it!..."Agent O yelled.
"He's not my dog, and what happened was YOUR fault, not his!..."Danny said, as he argued.
"That's not how we see it!..."They both shouted, being more stubborn than a mull.
Cujo, still angry, charged at them, still ticked off.
"Look out!..."They both shouted, seeing Cujo.
They didn't see Cujo in time before he kicked the two with his hind legs, knocking them into a table and spelling the dirt from the flowerpots they had on top all over them.
"I'm back! And my stomach feels must better now!..."Cujo said, before he charged out of the area since he was still feeling reckless.
"Wait, Cujo. There no need to continuing all this fighting! Let's just get out of here!..."Fifi said, trying to catch up with him.
Once done, he soon flew away and Fifi chased after him.
Team Phantom saw this and sighed, knowing that things were going to get a little more complicated and that they had to stop Cujo and protect him and Fifi before one of them get hurt.
"Cujo! Fifi! Get back here!..."Star shouted, as they chased after the energetic dogs.
It wasn't easy as she personally knew how both Fifi and Cujo had above average stamina than normal dogs from all the time she's spent with both canines in her life
Especially Cujo, since he was a ghost and seemingly had twice as much energy for your average dog, maybe even more. As they left, the two disgraced government agents recovered from the attack and were still peeved off.
"I REALLY hate dogs! I don't even like non-ghost dogs!..."O said, mentally deciding that he will never adopt a dog in his lifetime.
"No one on this planet hates those two ectoplasmic fugitives more than us! No one!..."K said, thinking that there really wasn't anyone on the planet hates the ghost boy more than them.
He couldn't be more wrong, as there is somebody in Europe who hates Danny Phantom even more than the Guys in White did.
Back in France
Vlad and Alicia had "canoodled" on the beach, and had been swimming in the water.
"I ain't never forgettin' this..."Alicia said, smiling.
"Me neither..."Vlad said, internally twitching.
However, his misery didn't end as something struck his leg.
"AHHHH!..."Vlad shouted as jumped out of the water like a classic cartoon character.
"Vladdy, what's wrong?!..."Alicia asked in concern.
Vlad hissed in pain.
"I think that I was stung by a jellyfish!..."He said, gesturing to his back.
However, he was suddenly yanked out and was now in his wife's arms.
"Oh no, I gotta save you!..."Alicia said as she dragged him to the shore.
Since there was no one else around, Alicia was panicking as she tried to check on him.
"Oh my, me me look..."She said, as she saw the sting and tried to find a way to help him.
It was already swelling and looking red, making Alicia panic.
"Don't touch it!..."Vlad yelped, as Alicia almost poked it with her finger.
"Oh my, that don't look too good!..."Alicia said, putting him down. "We better do something!..."She added, as she stepped back.
"Uh...what are you doing?..."Vlad asked, getting uneasy.
"It will take a while before we find some help. We should take care of it before that sting gets worse...I better find something to pee on you..."She said.
"Wait...WHAT?!..."Vlad exclaimed, hoping that he heard wrong.
"How else to sooth the pain until help arrives?..."Alicia asked as she continued to look around.
"Wait! You don't plan to do the deed yourself, do you?!..."Vlad asked, panicking at the idea.
"I would, Honey, but I ain't gotta go now..."Alicia said.
"Thank goodness..."Vlad said in relief.
Love potion or not, it seems like he had some control for stuff like this.
Even so, Vlad was thinking that he can convince her to be told that such a thing was a myth. However, Alicia saw something and smiled.
"There's the answer!..."She said, as she ran to go get what she spotted.
"What is she doing?..."Vlad asked, wanting to leave.
However, the sting was big and we couldn't move his leg without the pain. However, Alicia soon came back...and she had several dogs with her.
"I gots yer salvation, Honey!..."Alicia said happily.
"What are you doing?..."Vlad asked, as the dogs sniffed him.
"We can make these dogs pee on your stung leg..."Alicia said as she gestured for two to go.
"What? Alicia, that's just a myth! It doesn't-..."It was too late.
The dogs raised their legs and let it go.
"NOOOO!..."Vlad shouted, as his humiliation sunk to a new low now.
