Danny quickly snuck away from the crowd and quickly changed into his ghost form before flying off in the direction Ami went. Johnny recovered from the blow Ami had dealt him and he had a angry look in his eyes as he used his ghost powers to take flight after Ami, with Kitty flying alongside him.
Sam and Tucker tried to figure out what they should do, when they found themselves facing Ember.
"Did you have something to do with this?" Asked Sam.
"No way! This isn't my doing! I don't mess with other musicians and performers!" Said Ember raising her hands.
"So if your not involved in this, then who is?" Said Tucker.
"Got me, but I want to help." Said Ember.
"You want to help?" Asked Sam raising an eyebrow.
"Yes I do. Whatever this is it has something to do with music and I'm a pretty good expect when it comes to music." Said Ember.
"She's got a point." Said Tucker.
"Fine. She can come, but no funny business." Said Sam.
"Fine by me." Said Ember.
The three of them decided to head backstage to talk to Yumi and the band manager Kaz. Both Yumi and Kaz were freaking out about Ami's sudden crazy bad behavior.
"This is your fault! You were a bad influence on Ami!" Said Kaz pointing a accusing finger at Yumi.
"My fault?! I had nothing to do with this!" Said Yumi getting angry.
"Um...hey there maybe we can help." Said Tucker getting Yumi and Kaz's attention.
"Who are you?" Asked Kaz.
"I'm Tucker. This is Sam and Ember." Said Tucker introducing himself and the others.
"How can you help?" Asked Yumi.
"Well it seems like what's happening with Ami might be the work of a ghost or something supernatural. A friend of ours has parents who are ghost hunters so we know a thing or two about ghost." Said Sam.
"Guess any help will do if it helps Ami." Said Yumi.
"Did Ami buy or get anything new before the concert started?" Asked Ember.
"Well she did buy some new drumsticks." Said Yumi as she fetched the box the drumsticks had come in.
Kaz and Ember's eyes went wide in shock and recognition as they saw the X shaped box.
"Crazy Styxx!" Said Ember and Kaz.
"Who's that?" Asked Yumi.
"Only the wildest, crazy, talented, and most rowdy drummer that ever lived." Said Ember.
"Indeed he was. Crazy Styxx was a ultra talented punk rock drummer know for his wild behavior." Said Kaz.
"What happened to him?" Asked Sam.
"He died a long time ago and I was present at the concert he died at." Said Kaz.
Flashback.
A much younger Kaz stood at the front of a fenced off stage pumping his fist in excitement as a large pair of metal arms lowered from above. Between the arms was a glass and metal dome with a drum set in the center. And at the drums was Crazy Styxx himself. Crazy Styxx was a tall man with a blue Mohawk, a nose ring, and gold tooth. He wore a green shirt that exposed a bit of his midriff, jeans, and black boots.
Crazy Styxx twirled his drumsticks and looked at the audience giving them a wink before he began to demonstrate his amazing drumming skills. As he played some wheels on the metal arms began to spin the metal dome around in circles between them. Crazy Styxx went upside down then right side up and the crowd loved it. Then one of the wheels on one of the arm sparked and blew off followed by the others and then the dome dropped onto the stage and began to crazily roll across freaking out the audience. And despite all this Crazy Styxx still kept playing his drums as he let out a wild crazy yell. The dome rolled towards a large bunch of fireworks and pyrotechnics and crashed into them setting the whole thing off! People screamed and some ran for their lives as Kaz and a few other brave fans watch two small things fly from what was left of the dome and hit the ground landing in a perfect X shape. It was Crazy Styxx's drumsticks!
Fire crews quickly arrived on the scene to put out the fires, but there was nothing left of Crazy Styxx except for his ashes and his drumsticks.
End of flashback.
"And that's what happened." Said Kaz.
"So Crazy Styxx's ghost must be in his drumsticks and he's taking over Ami turning her into a wild punk rock drummer!" Said Ember.
"We need to save her!" Said Yumi.
"Don't worry our town has a hero who deals with these kinds of things. He'll save her." Assured Sam.
"Who's this hero?" Asked Kaz.
"He's called Danny Phantom." Said Sam.
Sam, Tucker, and Ember quickly said goodbye to Kaz and Yumi and Sam quickly called Danny to tell him what they had learned.
