Chapter 15: The Beach
The group soon arrived at the beach.
The sun was shining brightly, casting its warm, golden rays across the sand and sparkling turquoise water. The air was filled with the sweet scent of the salty tang of the ocean. Danny took in the beautiful view as he looked at the five monster girls he had to protect.
"I'm actually surprised you ghoul girls know a beach this... not spooky." Danny said.
"Why's that?" Tanis asks.
"Uh... it's just..." Danny looked worried he may offend them. "I figured it would have been all gross and with slimy water. I didn't think you guys would be into places like these because of..." He gestured to the five. "... this whole situation."
"Just because we're monsters, doesn't mean we can't enjoy places like these." Winnie replied, rolling her eyes slightly. "Besides, we've been to places like this before. It's not like anyone's gonna freak out because we're here. Plus, it's not like everywhere we go is gonna be spooky and stuff. We just want to have a good time."
"Pardon what might have sounded a bit prejudiced." Danny said apologetically.
"It's alright." Winnie assured him with a smile.
"Plus, we might be monsters, but we don't like pollution. We only enjoy naturally gross stuff." Elsa said.
"Good to know." Danny said. "So... where exactly are we getting beach gear?"
"Like this." Sibella said as she raised her hand and, with a wave of her fingers, a tent appeared.
"... any chance I can learn that trick next time I have to go camping?" Danny asks.
"Sorry, but this is a special technique that takes years to master in the monster world. It's not exactly something I can teach you like during an afternoon of doing homework together." Sibella said as the girls entered.
Minutes later, the girls stepped out.
Winnie wore a dark blue tank top and beach shorts, while Tannis wore a cute pink one piece that resembles her mummy gauze. Elsa wore a dark green top with beach shorts and sandals.
The ones taking the longest were Sibella and Phanty.
Danny, wearing his usual swim wear of a white tank top and light blue swim trunks , was getting a little impatient.
"What's taking them so long?" He wondered.
"Ahoo...Phanty and Sibella always take forever..." Winnie said, looking bored.
Soon enough, the two ghouls walked out in their swimwear and accessories.
"What do you think, Danny?" Sibella asked in a flirty way.
Danny turned to face her and blushed when he saw her current state.
She was wearing a dark red one piece that was the same color as her dress, matching sandals and black sunglasses . The ghost boy was blushing and was speechless for a moment.
Wow… He thought before realizing that he was staring and snapped out of it.
He cleared his throat and tried not to look like he liked what he saw.
"Uh, nice suit…" He said earnestly.
"Thank you...such a gentleman..." Sibella said with a giggle.
Someone impatient cleared their throat and tried to interrupt them. It was a jealous looking Phanty, who had her arms crossed.
"What about me? Like mine, Danny?" Phanty asked as she showed off her baby blue one piece with white sandals
'Uh, you look nice too..." Danny said half-heartedly.
Phanty frowned at the not-so-enthusiastic reply and crossed her arms, while Sibella smirked, like she won a match or something.
"So… what about you, Danny? We don't have anything for you to wear." Tanis said.
"It's cool… I can just sit tight while you girls have fun." Danny said as the female monsters got ready to have fun at the beach.
Meanwhile
At a horrible, spooky and repulsive looking castle that belongs to a certain horrible, spooky and repulsive spider witch, someone was up to trouble again.
It was Revolta, who was scheming again as her minions did their tasks, though she was worried about worse than making sure her spiderbats didn't mess up their orders or that these two idiotic ghosts didn't mess up again.
"My brother will be back any moment… you three best find that half-human freak and bring him here! If he won't tell me where the ghoul girls are… I can at least get revenge for humiliating me!" Revolta ordered.
"Got it, Vol- I mean! Revolta…" Weerd said, stopping himself from upsetting her once more.
"Where do we find a teenage human?" Bogel asks absentmindedly.
"Let's see…" Revolta walked to her cauldron. "Mystic cauldron, here my request, find me that freak half-human pest…"
The cauldron's steam rose, swirling to create the image of a beach.
"Oh! I know that beach! I hate it… too sunny and cheery but it's got the best place for sodas." Creeper said.
"I'll bring my surfboard!" Bogel said happily.
"You're not going on vacation, you idiots! You're off to capture that freak! Now go!" Revolta pointed out the door.
The group scrambled their way out, leaving Revolta standing as she huffed in anger.
If I don't get those ghoul girls before my brother returns… he'll do it before I do… and I do NOT want him back to life… She thought.
At the beach
While Winnie and Tanis were making a sandcastle with a moat, along with Elsa was trying to tan, Sibella and Phanty were trying to get Danny's attention again.
"So, Danny. Wanna go fly over the waves together?" Phanty said as she fluttered her eyelashes at him.
"Un...no thanks. I'm not really in the mood to fly right now." He said, laying on his back and trying to enjoy the sun.
Phanty pouted. Before she could try again, Sibella tried to get closer to Danny again.
"Maybe you and I can go for a swim together, huh?" Sibella suggests, fluttering her eyes at him.
"Uh…" Danny felt himself nervous before noticing how she was on her beach towel right now. "Are you… sunbathing?"
"I am. Fangs for noticing." Sibella said.
"Wait… does your skin turn… I dunno… reddish purple?" Danny asks before looking at Phantasma. "And do you turn… purpley or something?"
"Kinda?" Phantasma shrugged. "I'm usually careful."
"Same." Sibella said before getting closer to Danny. "I use sludge to make sure I don't burn. Makes my skin as smooth as silk. Care to feel?" She asks as she gets her arm in Danny's line of sight.
Before Danny could think of an excuse bot to, Phantamsa tried to get his attention again.
"I got smooth skin too! I always protect it at the beach with sewage so I don't burn it!" She went in an impatient and whiny manner.
Danny remained momentarily silent, processing how to respond to this.
Part of me misses being invisible to girls… He thought.
That's when, almost out of the blue, what looked to be a goblin appeared, one dressed like a modern day delivery man.
"I got a magazine delivery for Phantasma!" He said, holding it out.
"Ooh! I was wondering when I'd get it!" She said.
Once Phanty left to pay for her delivery, Sibella tried to get closer to Danny.
"So, Danny...Now that we are alone...why don't we take a nice little walk together? Alone..." Sibella said in a flirtatious way as she sent him flirty eyes.
"... uh… how did the goblin find us?" He asks.
"Oh… Monstrous Monthly is dedicated to their job. Plus, Phantasma signed a special agreement where they'd deliver her magazines to her no matter where, under secrecy." She answered.
"... would make getting my own packages easier… suddenly delivery by drones feels less impressive." Danny said.
"Well… now that that answer has been given…" She skooched closer. "Let's talk about us…"
"Uh...well...uh...I don't know..." He said, trying to avoid making eye contact with her. He noticed how she looked in her swimsuit and it was messing with him a bit, but he tried to act normal. "I'm not exactly dressed for anything now." Danny gestured to his normal clothes.
"Come now, Danny... maybe we can go for a swim together...or go someplace private and have a little fun together..." Sibella said in a seductive way.
Danny gulped.
"Uh...I...I...I don't think we should be too far away from the rest. I am supposed to protect you girls. So, maybe just stay here and do nothing..." Danny responded with a blatant stutter in his voice.
"Spoil sport..." She muttered as he kept resisting her.
Phantasma watched this, pouting as she paid for her magazine and opened it.
"Hmph... what does she have that I don't?" She muttered as she noticed it had a picture of Danny on the cover. "At least you're not being distracted by her..." She said as she kissed the image
Tanis and Winnie witnessed this, both exchanging looks.
"Weird..." Winnie said, while the ghost girl ignored her.
Unknown to her, Danny saw this and darted his eyes away
And her creepy meter went up… He thought as he decided he had to find an excuse to go somewhere.
He noticed a food stand within visible distance and decided to go that way.
"I'll be right back..." Danny said.
"Where are you going, Danny?" Tanis asked innocently.
"I'm just gonna grab a bite, I'll be back in a bit. Don't go anywhere I can't see." He said as he got up and started walking.
Sibella, however, smirked. Phanty was distracted due to reading her magazine, so this gave her a chance to be alone with him.
She quickly followed him.
"Care for company?" She asks.
"Uh… you should… probably keep an eye on your friends…" Danny said.
"Don't be silly… they can take care of themselves." She said before dropping her seductive smile. inching closer to his ear. "Plus… seeing Phanty kiss that photo of you while in your physical presence is kinda creepy and weird… even for us…"
"Why do you think I'm going?" Danny asks flatly.
At the same time
Three certain villains arrived. One of them had a surfboard.
"Hang three!" Bogel went before a bonk to the head made him shut up.
"First off, it's hang ten! Second, we're not here to have fun!" Weerd said.
"Now… where to find that little freak?" Creeper said impatiently, not wanting to deal with Revolta's wrath again.
"Aren't we being a bit prejudiced? Calling him a freak?" Bogel asks.
"He got our show canned!" Weerd said.
"And he beat me up!" Creeper whined.
"... still kinda hypocritical, don't you think?" Bogel pointed out, only for Weerd to deck him with his surfboard
"No, no I don't…" Weerd said as they continued to look for their targets.
With Danny and Sibella
"Seriously? I don't think you're in the wrong there. Sure, you don't have to use your powers, but you can always expose this Dash dork to the public. Sure, this Lancer guy would lose his job… but it's not like he's doing good at it." Sibella said.
"I know…" Danny, having vented his issues at school with her, and he didn't stop. "And he always calls me stupid names like "Fen-toenail" or "Fentoni" all the time. Sometimes, it's a total stretch like "Fentertainment-tonight" this one time."
"That one's not even clever, and hardly an insult. How does that not get annoying?" Sibella questioned.
"Thank you! Finally, someone gets it…" Danny said as they arrived at the stand.
He gestured to Sibella, who shrugged.
"I'm good." She said as Danny got in line.
He quickly bought a hotdog and a diet cola.
"Thanks..." Danny said as he paid for his food.
He returned to Sibella, who eyed what he bought.
"Whatcha got there?" She asked.
"Just a hot dog..."Danny said and tried to avoid eye contact with her.
"Can I have a bite?" She asks with an amorous tone in her voice.
"Uhh… sure?" Danny said with some hesitance but let her have some.
Sibella was about to take a bite when she stopped.
"Does this have garlic?" She asks, pointing at it.
"Not usually…" Danny responds
Sibella was about to bite it when she stopped again.
"What about sauerkraut?" She asks.
"...is that vampire weakness thing? Like, does eating it cause a negative reaction like spontaneous combustion?" He asks.
"No, I just don't like the taste." Sibella said flatly.
Danny just paused there for a moment, seemingly frozen.
At first, Sibella wondered if what she said struck some kind of nerve with him as he didn't react so suddenly.
She wondered if perhaps she said something that struck a nerve with him. Then he laughed a small laugh, something Sibella noticed.
"It's just… you just don't like the taste. That just seemed… not creepy. In a good way." Danny said.
Hearing that brought a smile to her face.
"Hmm… well, coming from you, I'll take it as a compliment." Sibella said as she took a bite. "Could use more mustard though…"
"And maybe some more ketchup." Danny said as he took his own bite.
"I guess so… still good though." Sibella said as she licked her lips clean. "So… shall we get back?"
"Sure." Danny said as they started walking.
The two of them remained close together, walking side by side.
Sibella silently staring at her crush and noticed he wasn't resisting her. Seeing an opportunity, she grabbed Danny and pulled him behind the public bathroom.
"Hey, Handsome…" Sibella said.
"Hey, what are you doing?" He questioned angrily.
"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to make sure we'd have some privacy before Phanty notices that neither of us are there and comes looking for you..." Sibella said while tracing a finger on his chest. "Besides...this feels much more...nice..." She said in a flirtatious way.
Here we go… He thought in mild irritation.
It got worse as Sibella wrapped her arms around him and was sending him that look once more.
"So… how should we kill some time?" She asks.
Danny felt his heart accelerate as she got way too close.
"Wonderful...I'm too close with a pushy but hot vampire in a swimsuit, who's all over me and won't let go...This is both exciting and terrifying..." He thought as he didn't know what to do.
"Danny, I know you like me. Why fight it? I know you're into me..." Sibella said as she whispered these words into his ear. "Just give this a chance..."Sibella said as she gently kissed his cheek.
Danny felt his face burn more as he felt his hands on her back and shoulder, feeling her exposed purple skin that was so soft and messing with his head.
What do I do? What do I do?! He thought, having trouble thinking now as his hormones began to act up.
"Come on, Danny...just relax and enjoy this…" Sibella said, about an inch close to his lips but not closing the gap yet. "Why n-"
Sibella suddenly burped in his face due to the hotdog she had just taken a bite of, causing her to pull back and look ashamed.
Danny stared at this for a moment, seeing her go from flirting to embarrassed in a split second.
Suddenly, he bursts into laughter.
"It's not funny!" Sibella exclaimed, blushing in embarrassment. "It's your hotdog's fault! You should have bought a bag of chips!"
"Wow… if you were like this when we met… I'd have been less scared." Danny said.
'Don't laugh! It's very unladylike of me to do that…" Sibella whined, face flushing a deeper shade of purple.
"Hey, relax." Danny said with a smile. "I actually like seeing more of your human side. I don't mind seeing it more often."
That seemed to lift her mood as she lowered her hands.
"Okay… but please tell no one… especially Daddy…" Sibella said, since he would scold her for bad manners.
Danny was about to speak up before he saw something from afar that caused him to panic.
"Oh no…" He said.
"Please?" Sibella asks, not seeing what he did. "Just don't tell anyone? I-"
"No...not that. I think I see Creeper..." He said as he pulled her behind the bathroom
That snapped Sibella out of her mood.
"Creeper?" She asked, almost panicking.
"He's coming this way...hide.." Danny said as he used his invisibility to press Sibella into the wall.
"Uh… Danny?" Sibella tapped his shoulder, reminding him of how close they are right now.
"Not my best idea..." He muttered, bemoaning the rather awkward situation he put themselves in.
"I'm not complaining…" She whispered.
"Figures…" Danny muttered.
"You sound very... you know...not reluctant to be here with me like this…" She giggled in his ear.
"You're wearing a swimsuit, of course I am…" He muttered.
The duo of dimwitted ghosts who were up to no good approached the bathroom, looking around.
"I can't wait to hit the waves and catch some rays…" Bogel said as he put on some shades and carried a surfboard.
Weerd bopped him on the head.
"Pay attention stupid, we're not here for fun. We're here to find that lousy ghost kid for Revolta so she can find those ghoul girls...'Weerd said.
Sibella gasped upon hearing that, but Danny put a hand on her mouth to keep her from being heard.
"Ouch..." Bogel complained as he rubbed the spot his friend hit him. "How do we know he's still here?"
"Lots of teenagers come to the beach all of the time. It's like their favorite hangout or something..." Weerd said, being sure of himself.
"Come, come!" Creeper went, motioning them with a vine. "Someone reported seeing strange kids dressed like it's Halloween down that way!" He pointed in the direction of the ghoul girls.
As the two walked away, Danny returned visibility to himself and Sibella.
"Turn into a bat and go to your friends. Warn them and get out of here." Danny said.
"What are you gonna do?" Sibella asks.
"Distract who I'm guessing are the ghosts of Abbot and Cosstello." Danny said as he morphed.
"Are you sure you'll be okay? Those two ghosts might be dumb but that doesn't mean they aren't trouble, right?" Sibella asks.
"I've taken on tougher ghosts than these two. This won't take long. See you soon…" He said as he flew off.
With the trio
Creeper was exhausted and panting, along with his face becoming sweaty.
"I didn't think tubers or whatever you are could sweat…" Weerd snarked.
"Revolta has a cruel sense of humor… which I usually don't mind when it's on someone else…" He complained as he panted. "Someone carry me…"
"No." Weerd said.
"Carry me, too." Bogel got on his knees and clung to his friend.
"You can fly, moron…" Weerd snapped, bopping him on the head.
The three were then separated when a blast hit the ground between them, causing sand to fly up and the three of them to roll away several feet. Looking up, they saw a certain someone giving the thumb's up.
"Hey guys! Remember me?" Danny asks.
"Yeah!" Bogel went before absentmindedly pondering for a moment. "What was it? Kenny? Davie?"
Weerd made a face at this before he bopped him in the head again.
"Danny Phantom, you idiot! Let's get 'em so Revolta can get off our backs!" Weerd ordered, ready to fight again.
As the three of them tried to charge at the ghost boy, Danny faux-yawned before phasing through the ground, causing the three to miss and fall on top of each other. He phased up, seeing them comically dog pile by accident.
"Wow… you're making the Box Ghost look almost tough by comparison." Danny laughed.
As he flew off, going in the opposite direction of the girls, the trio of monsters growled and got angry.
"He's getting away!" Weerd shouted as he pointed ahead.
They didn't see a certain purple bat flying around them, watching them from below.
"No worries!" Creeper said as he pulled out a sealed vial of a purple potion. "Revolta made this. One splash and his power should be cut in half for an hour."
Hearing that, Sibella panicked and hurried to her friends.
With the girls
As the girls were having fun building sandcastles, Sibella landed and changed back to her humanoid form.
"We got a problem!" Sibella said in a panic.
"That hotdog stand is using tofu instead of beef?!" Winnie panicked.
All the girls stared at her in a questioning way
"Uh… no." Sibella said flatly before she got serious again. "Creeper and those idiot ghost hosts from earlier are looking for Danny!"
"... so?" Winnie asks.
"I overheard them say that Revolta gave them a potion that should weaken his powers. Which is NOT good. We gotta help Danny..." Sibella said.
"Oh…" Winnie went, sounding uninterested before everyone sent her glares. "I mean… oh no…" She weakly said, which didn't do much to convince the others.
"But why are they after him?" Tanis asks.
"Revolta probably wants payback… or wants to capture us before her brother does." Sibella said. "All I know is Danny is in trouble and we gotta do something."
'But how do we help him?" Elsa asked, confused regarding how helpful they can be.
Sibella tried to think, all while Phanty got overprotective of her crush again.
"Those creeps better not hurt him. That haunting hunk is a doll..."Phanty said, worried for Danny.
Sibella, hearing that, raised her head.
"That's it! Fang-tastic! You gave me a great idea, Phanty!" Sibella said.
"What is it?" Phantasma asks with a clueless look on her face.
Sibella soon explained the plan to her friends.
With Danny
"Okay, Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber. You three are gonna leave this place and leave those girls alone. Or else..." Danny warned.
"Or what?" Weerd asked, being a smart mouth.
"Also, who's Tweedle Dumber? I don't remember him from any of Lewis Carroll's works…" Bogel asks out loud with a dopey look on his face. Weerd bopped him in the head in response.
"That'd be you…" Weerd grumbled.
Danny responded with his eyes glowing green, as well as his hands balling into fists, and flew towards the two.
Within a split second, he had both weakling ghosts balled up and groaning in pain.
"I did ask nicely..."Danny said as he wiped his hands clean. "Now where did that rotten potato monster go to?" He asked as he tried to find Creeper.
"Take this, you freak of nature!" Creeper appeared as he threw something at Danny.
"What are you-" Danny coughed as he was splashed with some unknown contents that was in a vial in the Creeper's vine-like limbs.
The Creeper smirked darkly as he watched his concoction finally take effect.
"I did it!" He cheered for himself.
Danny coughed as he found himself on the ground now, significantly weaker.
"What the heck did you do to me?" Danny demanded.
"Oh, nothing much. Just a special brew Revolta uses up many rare ingredients to make. Now you're no stronger than the girls' pathetic old gym teacher..." The Creeper said with a smug, villainous laugh.
Danny tried to get up and use his powers to fight him, but to his shock, he could barely use his powers and suddenly felt exhausted. The evil vegetable monster just kept laughing the more Danny tried to use his powers and failed.
"It's like I ran a 20 mile lap in 2 minutes…" Danny said with a pant.
"Don't even bother, freak. The more you use your powers, the weaker you'll get and the effects will last an hour...which is more than what I'll need to finally get rid of the likes of you when I bring you to Revolta!" The Creeper said as he laughed sinisterly as he tried to charge at him.
Danny responded by using what strength he had left to punch the creeper in the eye, making him fly off.
"Man, his laugh was annoying..." Danny said before he panted heavily, feeling more tired now.
"Oh-ho-howww!" Creeper had his vines on his eye as he yelped in agony, which the ghost boy ignored.
"I...I gotta get to the girls and warn them..." Danny said as he hovered up and tried to fly as fast as he could before they recovered.
Which was happening at a snail's pace.
"My eye! Why do I have one eye when potatoes are supposed to have ten?!" Creeper bemoaned as he rolled on the ground, still clutching his injured eye.
Unfortunately, for their own reasons, the ghosts didn't sympathize with him.
"They're not eyes, they're buds where new potatoes grow!" Weerd corrected in a rare moment of intelligence. "Now get this idiot offa me!"
"Wait… if I'm Tweedle Dumber, who is Dee and Dumb?" Bogel asks, clearly not paying full attention as Weerd struggles to get him off.
Danny soon made it to where the girls were.
"Danny? What happened?" Sibella asks with a panicked expression.
"We got a problem… those three are still around and looking for you..." Danny said.
"Aw, glad to see that you care for us..." Phanty said as she sent him a flirty look, ignoring that Sibella glared at her.
"Not the time..." Danny said quickly.
"Why can't those jerks just leave us alone?" Tannis said, looking upset.
"Arrooo...You said it..." Winnie said.
"We have another problem. Thanks to something Revolta gave them, my powers might be weaker with each second I use my powers. But I managed to buy us some time by punching that spud in the eye after he doused it on me...but let's hightail it before he recovers..." Danny said, still weak but still standing.
The ghouls all were speechless. All but one.
"So... you knew you were getting weaker the more you used your powers... and you still punched Creeper in the eye instead of just bolting for it?" Sibella asks with a disapproving scowl.
"Yeah..." A weakened Danny said before darting his eyes away with a proud smile. "Worth it..."
Phanty then wrapped her arms around him.
"Well, at least he bought us some time...and you were so brave, you haunting hunk..." Phanty said as she fluttered her eyes at him.
"PHANTY! NOT THE TIME!" Sibella, Danny and the ghouls all shouted at her.
The ghost girl pouted.
"Spoil sports..." She muttered as she reluctantly let Danny go.
"Rest assured. I think I have a plan on how to deal with those clowns for good..." Sibella said.
"What is it?" Danny asked as he and the other ghouls listened.
"Just sit tight and let us do our work. When I give the okay, make them come this way and we'll trick those creeps." Sibella insisted.
"Okay." Danny nodded.
"Alright, while Danny recovers, the rest of us will make our move. Time to show Creeper and his stupid friends just what happens when you mess with a girl ghoul or her protector..."Sibella said, as she and her friends all went to enact her plan.
They managed to find what they needed from some old materials they carried in their tent. Mostly cloth and some cotton, yet it worked.
"Just a little more shaping here..." Sibella said as she adjusted an old cotton. "And… Walla!" She said as she was now done.
They managed to create a makeshift doll of Danny, using the resources they found, and, as the final touch, Phanty's magazine that had a full head shot of the ghost kid for the face.
"This better work...that magazine cost me a lot..." Phanty said.
"Don't worry...Weerd and Bogel aren't very bright. Besides, we can just magically fix it." Sibella said as they began to put their plan into motion.
"Guess that's my cue." Danny said as he got up and went to attract the trio.
The same trio are still trying to pick themselves up.
Wow… these guys really are that lame. Even Dad would have no trouble with these idiots… He thought.
"Hey, Three Stooges?!" Danny called out, getting the attention of all but one.
"Where?!" Bogel went excitedly as he looked around.
"He meant us, moron." Weerd growled.
"I thought we were Tweedle Dee, Dumb and Dumber?" Bogel asks, getting knocked on the head.
As the trio came running after Danny, Sibella inspected the doll and smirked.
"It's not perfect, but it should be enough to fool those clowns for now..." Sibella said.
"Then let's use it already..." Winnie said.
"Wait, can't forget the final touch…" Elsa said mischievously as she pulled a box-like object.
"Where'd you get that?" Tanis asked.
"I made it before we had to leave the school as a little side project. It's a bomb..." Elsa said, now noticing that her friends sent her a look. "What?"
"You made a bomb... not knowing that we were facing bad guys and decide not to tell us until now?" Sibella asked, raising an eyebrow as high as she could.
"I got bored and I didn't plan on using it. It was supposed to be a party bomb I was saving for my Dada's birthday, but after Weerd and Bogel showed up, I did some changes and turned it into a real bomb, that's all… Granted, it still has the treats I was saving for his birthday, but I'm sure they won't mind." Elsa said.
"Well...I guess that's okay then..." Sibella said as the Frankenstein-like girl placed the bomb on the decor and set the countdown.
"We got a few minutes." Elsa said.
That's when Danny flew in, out of breath.
"That's the bait?" He asks.
"Yeah… we just need them to think it's you. Think you have enough to turn invisible and talk near it?" Sibella asks.
"One way to find out." Danny said as he motioned them to take cover.
Once they made a break for it, Phanty using her own ghost powers to turn invisible, Danny did so as well as he waited for the trio to go around the rock.
"Where is he?!" Weerd went.
"Oh… I'm… so… tired…" Danny wailed in the vicinity of his double, not fully acting as he was getting exhausted.
"There he is!" Creeper pointed to the fake as he used his vines and carried him. "Boy… he's weaker than I thought. He's as light as a feather!"
He dropped the fake Danny into a bag that the two ghosts pulled out.
"Got him!" Bogel said as they captured the fake ghost.
"Finally. Now to deliver him to Voltie and get out of our debt…" Weerd said as they made their way back to Revolta.
Unknown to him, the ghost boy returned to visibility once the coast was clear.
"What morons..." He said, chuckling as his knees buckled.
The ghoul girls turned visible again once they saw it was safe.
"How long do we have until that time goes off?" Phanty asks.
"10 minutes." Elsa said.
"Then… we should… probably cut our beach time over in half that time." Danny said as he morphed back to human form. "Start packing…"
"Aww… do we have to?" All five girls whined.
"Yes." Danny crossed his arms.
The girls reluctantly started packing as Danny looked to where the doll was and sent a smile at Sibella's back without her seeing.
At Revolta's castle
Revolta paced impatiently in a circle, both pairs of arms behind her back.
"What is taking those three so long?! The moment my brother arrives and I don't have that pest… I can kiss my future as queen of all Monsterdome goodbye!" She bemoaned as the door swung open.
"We got 'em!" Weerd victoriously declared as they all rushed inside, bringing the bag to a chair near Revolta.
"Well it's about time you three did something useful for a change!" Revolta said impatiently.
"Voltie, baby… you should know by now that Bogel and I are the best in the business…" Weerd went, rubbing his fingers on his chest and observing his non-existent nails as he looked smug, much to the witch's annoyance.
"And you should be grateful you're a ghost… or I'd kill you for still calling me that." Revolta snapped before rubbing all her hands together. "Now… show me that freak. I wish to destroy him already!"
"You got it." Bogel went as they pulled the bag and left who they thought was Danny Phantom on the chair, sitting up.
"All yours, Revolta…" Creeper, ever the optimist, rubbed his vines in anticipation as his master approached their supposed prisoner.
"So, you thought you could insult the great Revolta?! You have made the greatest mistake of your life, you little freak!" She said with an evil grin. "Now, tell me where those ghoul girls are. I promise to make your end quick and painless!" There was no answer, much to her annoyance. "Why are you less mouthy all of the sudden?"
She pulls head up and, to their surprise, it wasn't real.
"A doll?" Creeper asks.
"You idiots brought me a doll?!" Revolta shouted.
"But… he was there! For real! He musta made this to fool us!" Weerd stated as he hid behind his fellow ghost.
"Not well. He doesn't have a bomb sticking out of his chest." Bogel commented as he pointed at the doll.
"Bomb?!" Revolta went as she turned her head.

"Why, wh-" Bogel saw what Creeper did. "Oh…" He went as he and Weerd followed Creeper out.

"RRRAAAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!"
