Fenton Works…
In the lab, Sam, Tucker, and I are standing there, looking at Danny, who is looking at the portal.
On the Ecto-Filtrator, the arrow is waving wildly, the green light is beeping, and it says 'Change the Ecto-Filtrator' in green letters. Danny's fist comes in from the left and knock on the device.
Danny is looking at the filtrator with his arms crossed and looking annoyed, his body is bathed in green light. Sam approaches.
"Come on, Danny. You can't tell me…" Sam said, rolling her eyes back and lifts her hand, her other hand on her hip. Danny's eyes look to her. "…the only thing your and Jared's billionaire arch-enemy is here to do…" She crosses her arms. "…is embarrass your Dad."
"...make the public lose even more trust in us as heroes…." I said, while Danny looked at the control panel again.
Tucker has his shirt covered in ectoplasm stains.
"And date his mom." Tucker said, brushing ectoplasm off his sleeve and onto the floor.
Danny has his hand on the panel, looking back at Sam. The cylindrical tank on the side bubbles. Green light blinks on him.
"Yes! That's exactly why he's here." Danny said, as Tucker and I walked in next to Sam. Danny starts to fiddle with the panel. "To make my dad look like a fool." At the staircase, Jack walks downstairs happily as Danny continues messing with the panel. Jack walks towards us. "I mean, did you see the way those ghost hunters were laughing at him?"
Jack stops, looking with sad realization. He blinks a few times.
Danny is looking down at the filtrator, pointing at it. Tucker, Sam, and I are there, looking at him.
"How embarrassing!" Danny yelled, looking up from the filtrator.
Jack walks up behind Tucker, Sam, and I. Tucker, Sam, and I look up at him with some 'uh oh' fear, Danny just looks off to the side.
"We're all gonna have to live with my dad's goof-ups…" Danny said, shrugging, and Jack looked upset. "…for the rest of our lives."
Tucker, Sam, and I straighten up, Sam pretends to clear her throat. Danny suddenly finds realization.
"He's right behind me, isn't he?" Danny asked, and all four of us look up at Jack.
"Yes." Jack said, looking down, disappointed. "I'm afraid he is." He straightens up. "If you need me, I'll be upstairs…" Jack's eyes roll downward. "…doing something wrong."
Jack turns around and walks off. He walks up the staircase.
"Danny…" I said, looking at Danny, behind Sam and Tucker.
Danny walks in from the right, his friends look at him.
"Nice." Tucker said, lifting a hand. "You wanna go upstairs and make your mom cry?"
"Great." Danny said, lowering his eyelids. "I just managed to do Plasmius' job for him."
"And this is why I had to shut myself up." I said, looking between Danny, Sam and Tucker. "Because I knew I would insult Jack."
Danny is looking down and depressed, Tucker and I are just looking at him. Sam puts her hands on her hips.
"Well there's only one thing that's going to cheer him up: Catching a ghost." Sam said, happily.
"Catching a ghost is what Jack needs to cheer him up. Along with a pep talk." I said, smiling.
Danny is smiling.
"Yeah…" Danny said, pointing fingers at Sam and I. "…and not just any ghost. Not one ghost, but two."
"Yup. The two ghosts being Danny Phantom and the Black Pearl." I said, while Danny goes ghost and turns into Danny Phantom. "Jack has been trying to hunt us for ages like Team Rocket trying to hunt down Pikachu."
I went ghost and turned myself into my ghost form, the Black Pearl. Danny and I lift our legs and floats.
"Public Ghost Enemies #1 and #2." Danny said, smirking.
At the FentonWorks kitchen, Jack is sitting at the table, elbows on the table, his chin in his hands.
"Danny's right. I'm a loser. I couldn't catch a ghost if one sprang right up in front of me." Jack said, muttering to himself.
Jack is at the table, putting his hands down as Danny and I phase our blue, intangible heads through the table.
Danny and I float up from the table, looking at Jack, with the two of us becoming solid, and waving our arms.
"Booooo!" Danny yelled, pausing and looking at Jack, who was still sitting at the table dejectedly.
"Beware!" I said, looking at Jack.
"Whoo-ooo-ooo!" Danny said, looking at Jack, who is not even remotely fazed.
Jack looks to the right and places a hand on his chin.
Danny is surprised Jack hasn't made a move. As a last resort, he mimics the Box Ghost.
"Fear me!" Danny said, angrily.
Jack still hasn't moved and Danny lets his hands drop. Danny and I float in from the left, waving our hands in front of Jack. Jack just looks away.
"Hello!" Danny said, as he stopped waving and curled his fingers into a fist.
"Look over here!" I said, sneaking behind Jack with my ghostly tail and is on his right, raising my arms. "Ghosts!"
Jack is looking bored with his chin in his hand. Danny pops in upside down, waving his hand in front of Jack.
"Right in front of ya!" Danny yelled.
Jack releases his chin and looks at Danny and I, slightly annoyed.
"Aw, what do the both of you want?" Jack asked, putting down his hand and straightening up. "Come to gawk at the big failure…" He buries chin into both hands. "I suppose."
Danny floats up into the air. Danny is popping up into view. He raises his fists with determination. Danny and I are floating in front of Jack over the table.
"Just the opposite…" Danny said, pointing at Jack.
"Literally the opposite." I said, while Danny's head pops up with realization.
Danny and I then look back down at Jack.
"…Jack." Danny said, raising his shoulders and looks with glee. "Cool, I just called my dad by his first name."
Danny then looks with realization, then goes back into his determined character. He and I looked at Jack. Jack looks up at Danny and I.
"You know me?" Jack asked.
"We do. We know the greatest ghost hunter in all the land!" I said, excitedly.
Danny and I are floating above the table.
"And we fear you. That's why we've come to turn ourselves in…" Danny said, pointing at Jack. "…to you."
Danny and I are looking smugly at Jack, who is looking with total disbelief and annoyance.
"Aw, no thanks, Ghost Kids." Jack said, raising a hand and sweeping it down, before pointing at himself with his thumb. "I'm tired of getting laughed at!" He puts down his hand and looks down, depressed. "I give up."
Danny is leaning inward, "You-you-- you can't do that!"
"You can't give up now!" I said, worried.
"You're darn right…" Maddie said, as Danny and I look scared and turn to look behind us. "…he can't!"
Jack is at the table and Danny and I are floating over it. A revving is heard as Maddie's boot steps in nearby from the left.
"Crap." I said, frowning. "I forgot about Maddie."
Maddie has her hood-up, with the Fenton Weasel strapped over her shoulder and in her left hand. The Fenton Weasel is vibrating and giving off exhaust.
"Eat hot Fenton Weasel…" Maddie said, and the Weasel is pointed towards Danny and I. "…ghost scums!"
Air is getting sucked into the Weasel.
Danny and I are facing right but looking left as a blue mist is sucking at us. We turned and covered our heads with our arms as our feet were being stretched and sucked away, then we leaned back as our bodies in ghostly tail form were being sucked that way.
"Shit." I said, while Danny and I screamed as we are getting sucked into the weasel. "Why…"
Maddie is holding the Fenton Weasel. Danny's ghostly body and my ghostly body are sucked inside, our hands struggle to hold onto it to prevent being sucked inside.
Danny and I are looking inside as our thumbs are trying to keep us out, parts of our faces and hair are being sucked in. We then screamed once more as we vanished inside the weasel with a sucking sound.
Danny and I are crammed in the weasel.
"Okay…" Danny said, looking toward the out pipe of the Weasel. "…this wasn't part of the plan."
"It really wasn't. And the Weasel is too cramped for two people." I said, feeling squished inside with Danny. "Ugh. This sucks."
Jack is sitting by the table with his elbow on it, his chin in his hand, looking up and behind him. Maddie walks in from the left, holding the containment part of the Weasel toward Jack and the business end in her other hand.
"Jack…" Maddie said, sticking a hand in with the containment tank from the left, Jack looks at it. "…you captured the Ghost Boys!"
Jack looks at it, surprised.
"I did?" Jack asked, smiling. "You're right, I did!" Maddie holding the weasel and Jack straightening up. "Me!" Jack stands up and takes the Fenton Weasel, spreading his arms with the containment tank on the left and the business end on the right. "Jack Fenton!" Jack walks off, Maddie has her hands on her hips, happy. Jack leans in from the right to Maddie. "You are the best wife ever."
Jack kisses Maddie on the cheek and holds her with one hand. Jackis turning to the right, hunched over Maddie, with Maddie leaning near-horizontally with one hand out and one foot in the air. Jack is still holding the Weasel.
Containment tank…
"Ugh, gross." Danny said, in the tank, sound metallically muffled.
"This is really pissing me off." I said, in the tank, sound metallically muffled. "I shouldn't have gotten involved."
"You really shouldn't." Danny said, and the tank vibrates and rattles. "Hello! We're right here! Hello!"
(Open POV)
Casper High School…
A bike bell rings.
There is a red tandem bike-trolley and Tucker and Sam are pedaling, and the ghost hunters are all in the back. The bike bell rings again.
Tucker is sweating.
"And if you look to your right…" Tucker said, turning to the back and smiles while panting. "…you'll see Casper High…" He looks forward and pants more. "…whose halls…" Tucker takes another breath and looks to the back, smiling again. "…have been haunted."
Tucker looks at Sam who is looking angry and sweating.
"I know we told Danny and Jared, we'd keep these guys busy…" Sam said, taking a breath. "…but could we have maybe done it without exercise?"
(Jared's POV)
Trolley…
A motor is head revving as the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle drives past.
Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle…
Jack is driving and reading a sheet of paper that reads 'Directions to Reward' on it in blue letters. He tosses it behind him.
"Jack Fenton will show them…" Jack said, putting his free hand on the wheel and turns it side-to-side. "…who the competent ghost hunter is!"
Jack uses his foot to floor the gas pedal, the car revs. Jack's lips are vibrating over his clenched teeth.
At a dark alley, the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle is parked, and Jack is standing at its mouth, carrying the business end of the Weasel so the tank end is on the ground.
"Hm." Jack said, lifting up a sheet reading 'Directions to Reward'. "A funny place to claim a reward."
Jack puts the paper down and walks to the alley.
Alley…
Jack walks through it, dragging the Weasel.
"Please!" Danny said, in the Weasel. "Stop!"
"Be careful!" I said, as the tank is being dragged along the litter-covered ground. "You should know…" The tank hits a rock and keeps going. "…what you're getting into… The tank hits another rock. "…here!"
Jack is looking down at the tank as he keeps walking.
"I know exactly what I'm getting into." Jack said, turning his head forward. "A bigger place in my son's heart."
Danny and I are crammed in the tank. Danny looked disappointed as I rolled my eyes.
"Thanks. Now I'm crushed by space and guilt." Danny said, looking more determined. "Look!" The screen clangs again. "You have to listen to us!" Jack is dragging the Weasel. "All of this is a trap!"
"Oh, please, ghosts!" Jack yelled, looking at the Fenton Weasel. "Why should I believe you two?" He is walking again and stops with surprise as a pink, cubical jail cage appears in around him. "Hey!"
"Does that answer your question?" Danny asked, in the tank.
"You should have listened to us." I said, in the tank, while Jack is looking at a wall past the cage in front of him. A small patch of blue light appears as if a ghost is about to phase through. "We tried to warn you."
Vlad Plasmius phases through the wall in his blue, intangible form, clapping.
"You! The Wisconsin Ghost!" Jack said, angrily.
Vlad is clapping.
"Ah, very good." Vlad said, putting his hands on his waist. "All the pawns doing exactly what they're supposed to." Jack is in the pink, glowing cage and Vlad is floating in front of it. Vlad puts out a hand. "Leaving you two trapped and your Fenton Portal unprotected." Vlad looks at Jack. "So I can steal it and make it a Plasmius Portal!"
Danny and I are still in the Weasel containment tank within the pink cage.
"You idiot! You already have a ghost portal!" I said, angrily. "The hell do you need another one for?"
Jack is holding the other end of the Weasel.
"He has a ghost portal?" Jack asked, looking at me in the tank, before looking at Vlad. "You have a ghost portal?"
"Of course I have a portal!" Vlad said, looking away sheepishly. "Well I did. It up and exploded on me. Ah, well, that's what you get for forgetting to clean the ecto-filtrator." He shrugs, smiling with his eyes closed. "Hmm? Live and learn." Vlad opens his eyes. "Or in your case, die and learn."
Jack is in the cage, looking at Vlad floating. Vlad bends his knees and takes flight, the screen panning up to follow him.
Containment tank…
"Uh-oh." Danny said, sadly.
"Yeah…" I said, letting out a sigh. "This isn't good."
(Open POV)
Fenton Works…
At the Fenton Portal, two of the vulture ghosts are loosening bolts on the portal using glowing wrenches.
In the dark kitchen, Jazz walks inside, her smile dropping upon seeing the room dark and empty.
Jazz stops abruptly with confusion. Her eyes shift back and forth. She turns right.
"Mom?" Jazz asked, as her eyes look to the left. "Dad?" She turns to the left, completely confused. "Danny?" A black-gloved hand from below gags her and pulls her down. "Jared?"
Maddie has her hood-up holding a hand over her daughter and looking away from her.
"Quiet!" Maddie said, whispering and turns to Jazz. "There are ghosts about!"
Two vultures fly upward, flapping their wings.
"Actually…" Vulture Ghost #1 said, and Jazz's and Maddie's eyes pop wide. "'Ghosts' is a bit insensitive." Jazz and Maddie look at the Vulture Ghost. "We prefer the term 'Ecto-Americans'!"
Jazz and Maddie popping up, Jazz with her mouth gaping open, Maddie with fierce determination. She takes out a small green pellet between her finger and her thumb.
The Vultures are floating in the air with Jazz and Maddie standing. Maddie thrusts upward and drops the ball with a grunt, causing a huge smokescreen. When it dissipates, the girls are gone.
Maddie and Jazz are running down a hallway, away from the Vulture Ghosts.
"Come on!" Maddie said, turning behind Jazz. "We have to get to the weapons vault!"
"We have a weapons vault?" Jazz asked.
At the doorway of the Vault, it has a circular door with a punch pad next to it. Maddie and Jasmine run up.
Maddie is typing on the keypad. She withdraws her finger as the screen flashes 'DENIED'.
"Darn that man!" Maddie said, while she and Jazz are looking at the keypad. "Your father changed the password!" They look toward the door. "There's no way in!"
Two vultures land on each of them, turning them intangible. They duck down.
"Or out!" Vulture Ghost #2 yelled.
Maddie and Jazz shout as the vultures phase them through the door.
The Vault…
Jazz and Maddie slide on the floor on their stomachs. They turn tangible again when they stop. Maddie and Jazz turn toward the door.
"Ohhhh, great." Maddie said, getting up. "We're stuck!"
Jazz gets up.
"How can we be stuck? It's not like dad would forget to put a handle on the inside of the door, right?" Jazz asked, looking at the door where there's a note taped on a wheel. She takes it as she reads it aloud. "'Note to self: Have Danny install handle on inside of door, Jack.'"
Jazz lowers her eyelids.
(Jared's POV)
Alley…
"Danny, Jazz and Maddie are trapped in the weapons vault. But they're safe for now." I said, happily.
"At least they're safe." Danny said, while Jack is sitting in the cage and pouting. "You have to listen to us!" Danny and I are still in the tank. "We have to get to your house and fast!"
"Why? So you two can gloat while I lose my Fenton Portal and the respect of my son in…" Jack said, taking his hands off his chin and puts them down. "…one fell swoop?"
Danny and I are in the Weasel, with the Phantom looking toward the out pipe.
"Well, you are going to lose more than that if your ghost portal explodes." I said, letting out a sigh.
Jack is sitting down with his hands on his chin.
"It's not gonna explode." Jack said, putting one arm on his knee. "I'm sure Danny changed the ecto-filtrator." He lowers his eyebrows. "I told him five times."
"Did he clean the lab?" Danny asked.
"No."
"Does he clean his room?"
"No." Jack said, rolling his eyes and sighing.
"Did he forget to install a handle inside a weapons vault?" I asked.
Jack's eyes pop with realization. He stands up inside the pink cage.
"Great gobs of ghost goo…" Jack said, putting his hands on his head. "…that portal's gonna blow!" He is inside the cage with the weasel on the ground. "Ghost kids…" Jack picks up the Weasel nozzle and blows Danny and I out head-first. "…you gotta help me save my family." He puts his arms down. "If you do…" Danny and I look at Jack. "…I'll set you both free."
"You just did." I said, laughing a lot.
Jack slaps his face with his palm. Danny and I are smiling.
"Jared, good thing my dad's a lousy negotiator." Danny said, looking at me.
"Not as lousy as the Rusted Knight." I said, smiling.
"Right. Jaune." Danny said, looking down with heroic bravado. "Jack…" He raises his arms in glee. "…man that's cool, heh…" Danny returns to bravado. "You've got a deal."
I am standing behind Danny, who is looking at Jack. Danny and I turn intangibly blue, then the two of us dive into the ground with our ghost tails. We reappear behind Jack.
"This will feel strange at first." I said, as Danny and I are smiling behind Jack. We grab Jack's shoulders, turning Jack blue as well. "Just warning you now, Jack."
"My tummy feels funny." Jack said, frowning.
Alley…
Danny and I flew up out of the cage with his father in tow, flying over a building.
Hill…
At the top of a hill, Tucker and Sam are sweating like crazy as they pedal up the hill in short bursts. The bike bell rings when the trolley full of ghost hunters stops.
A sweating, panting Tucker looks at what is in front of him.
"And if you look…" Tucker said, panting and pointing a finger. "…over here…" He takes another deep breath and turns to the back. "…you'll see the top of…"
Tucker breathes in again.
Trolley….
Tucker is in front pointing, Sam is behind him looking at the hunters. The Guys in white are looking from the front, the Ghostbreakers are standing on the top, and Scaredy Cat is looking out the back window.
Tucker and Sam turn forward as Jack flies overhead, with Danny and I holding him up.
"Happy place, happy place, happy plaaaaace!" Jack said, terrified.
"This is why I love ALO, the constant flying!" I said, excitedly.
Tucker, Sam and the ghost hunters all turn to the back as Jack flies away, with Danny and I carrying him.
Inside the trolley, the Groovy Gang is beside the Guys in White, with Operative O's hands on the edge. Scaredy Cat peeks in from the back.
(Open POV)
"It's Jack Fenton, and the ghost kids!" Operative O said, angrily.
The Ghostbreakers take out a pair of scooters and undo them, stepping on them as the jets ignite, allowing them to blast off and up in a cartoony fashion.
The Ghostbreakers fly up on their scooters, the first trick has the female lying on her back and the male with his feet over his head. The second trick has the female hanging feet-over-head on her handlebars and the male stretching his feet on both sides off the scooter. The third trick has the female doing a Superman flight while hanging on with one hand on the scooter, and the male is lounging on his scooter. They then go back to normal positions, zooming downward off-screen.
Hill…
The Ghostbreakers land and roll down it on a path toward the neighborhood leading to the city, Jack Fenton flies overhead.
"That's our collar." Operative O said, looking at Operative K.
"And these are my cuffs!" Operative K said, raising an arm.
Operative K plucks a white cuff-link off his sleeve and looks at it, a small white square with an antenna with a green ball on it. The antenna extends several segments, panning up to show the Groovy Gang, and twirls around with blade segments sprouting and turning into a buzz saw. The Groovy Gang are looking at Operative K with the buzz-saw. He brings it down to the metal bar connecting the trolley and the bike, sawing through.
Trolley…
The ghost hunters and the pedaling kids look at the saw cutting through. When the agent lifts it, Tucker and Sam scream as the trolley and the bike rolls quickly off the hill in separate directions.
Hill…
Tucker and Sam brace themselves and scream as they roll super-fast down the steep slope.
The Ghostbreakers are in their jet scooters going downhill. The trolley car full of the rest of the ghost hunters accelerate, rolling past them. They all scream.
The Guys in White are in the trolley. The Groovy Gang and Scaredy Cat pop out. Operative O reaches into his suit and takes out a small, flat blue square. He chucks it in the air.
The blue chip sparkles.
Danny and Jared are flying Jack. The chip lands under Danny's chest, Jack looks down and Danny and Jared brace themselves. Danny and Jared begin to glow blue all over and start slacking the weight, falling earthbound.
Ground…
Danny and Jared fall into it and Jack slides on his butt, making a dirt trench. When Jack stops, he looks down and jumps to the side. Danny's and Jared's hands are in the ground in their 'holding Jack' position, with some pink smoke coming from it.
Jack's own gloved hand grabs both of them and pulls Danny and Jared out like a radish.
Danny is pouting at Jack, who is holding him and Jared up. Jack releases his grip and Danny and Jared land on the ground again.
Jared is looking at Danny from the back, Jack is looking up in fear. Danny turns around with Jared and gasps.
"Crap." Jared said, looking at the speeding trolley of ghost hunters. "Forgot about them."
The ghost hunters all scream and screech as they try to stop. When the trolley stops, it tips over, and the ghost hunters all jump out at the last second.
Danny, Jack, and Jared panic.
The Ghostbreakers are on their jet powered scooters. They are about to crash into the tipped-over trolley. The Ghostbreakers crash with a large, smoky impact. When the smoke dissipates, it shows both Ghostbreakers, smiling and with dazed haloes, with red and yellow stars. Soon, they disappear. The whole trolley has Sullivan's leg moves as they both jump out through their holes, raising their arms high and bending their knees in the air.
"Awesome!" The Ghostbreakers cheered, landing safely.
The female steps aside and turns to the male, who reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small hacky-sack. He tosses it into the air, then kicks it to the female, she turns and kicks it back. She bends down as the male knocks it on his knee-pad, causing it to fly away. The male lands as the female takes a super-high leap.
In the air, the sack is sailing through the air. The girl leaps up and turns to kick it with her roller blade. The sack, shown to have a green, ghost-like smiling face, sails away.
The sack is supercharged with ghost energy, comes on screen.
Jack runs towards Danny and I and pushes us behind him. Jack braces himself.
"Look out for that hacky…!" Jack yelled, suddenly looking at the sack with realization. The sack flies towards us. It breaks with green goo oozing everywhere. Jack is still braced, annoyed, and dripping with green goo. "…Sack." Danny and I pop out from behind Jack. Jack looks at Danny and Jared. "Just so you know, I don't enjoy helping you two."
"Ugh." Jared said, looking between Danny and Jack.
Danny and Jared jump out from behind Jack and turn to him, with Phantom annoyed and with hands on his hips.
"Then don't!" Danny said, tensing. "We can take care of these…" He outstretches his arm and points. "…idiots!"
"I'm gonna tell you this." Jared said, pulling Jack to him and Danny by the collar, looks up at him, and points behind himself. "Go and save our family! Your family!" Jared perspires as Jack looks at him funny. "Now save them before it's too late!"
Jared is looking at Danny and the ectoplasm-coated Jack. Jared puts his pointing hand into his pocket, taking out a coin, and releases Jack. Danny looks with seriousness at Jack, who is to the right.
Danny hunches down a little with a smug expression, then turns to the left and takes flight with Jared.
With the Scaredy Cat, Danny pops into the scene.
"Boo." Danny said, smirking.
The Scaredy Cat begins to shiver and perspire.
"This is so much fun." Jared said, looking at the Scaredy Cat and Danny floating horizontally. The cat jumps up wildly and panics, looking at Danny and Jared. Danny and Jared are floating in midair in a lying-on-stomach daydream pose with amused smiles. The Scaredy Cat then reaches off to the left and runs in mid-air, disappearing with a puff of smoke. "One down, six to go."
"Yeah." Danny said, happily.
All six ghost hunters look super-scared. They all jump back and scream as Scaredy Cat decks them all and causes them to bounce.
Field…
The ghost hunters land on top of each other, with Scaredy Cat on the Groovy Gang, on the Ghostbreakers, on the Guys in White. They are all dazed with yellow and red stars.
"Oh man…" Danny said, floating back a little with his ghostly tail. "…this is just too easy."
"It really is." Jared said, flying towards the ghost hunters with Danny. "This is why I said it'll work out in the end."
(Jared's POV)
Nasty Burger…
At the dumpster of the Nasty Burger, Danny and I floated towards it, with the two of us carrying all the ghost hunters in a pile over our heads.
"Here you all go." I said, while Danny and I tossed all the ghost hunters down the dumpsters and they all screamed. "Enjoy being the dump you all are." All the ghost hunters land inside the dumpster. "Because you're ripoffs of my friends."
Danny and I are floating just above the dumpster. I fly to the lid and slam it closed. Then Danny and I landed safely.
"You're right, Jared." Danny said, as we are next to the dumpster, proud of our work. "That was fun."
"It is not done yet." I said, punching down to inexplicably pick up a small, brown, stray dog. "Go on!" The dog pants and yips. "Get the kitty!" I open the lid and puts the dog inside. "Get him!"
I close the lid and hold it down with Danny, the two of us smiling as the cat meows in panic. The lid vibrates.
"This reeks…" Sullivan said, in the dumpster. Danny holds down his head, eyes shut. "…to the extreme!"
When the lid stops vibrating, Danny turns to the right in a battle pose.
"Now, to stop Plasmius!" Danny said, taking off flying with me.
Amity Park…
I looked down at a street lined with houses. Danny and I flew from the bottoms and we turned to the left, looking to the left as we disappeared into the night.
Fenton Works lab…
Vlad is floating there. The three vultures are by the portal, one of them is trying to take a bolt from the portal.
The vulture is on the portal, pulling as hard as he can to get the bolt out. When it's finally out of the hole, it weighs him down, causing him to crash to the floor.
Vlad walks around the lab.
"I don't suppose you could move any faster?" Vlad asked, looking at the vultures.
"We're 2008 years old." Vulture Ghost #2 said, raising his wings. "Be happy we're moving at all."
Vlad is floating. The Fenton Fisher line hooks itself around him, having him bound.
Vlad is surprised, "What the--?"
Jack is holding the Fenton Fisher. Vlad turns to him.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me." Vlad said, raising his arms a little. "I get to waste you in your own home?" He laughs. "This is the greatest day of my life."
Vlad glows green with ghostly energy.Vlad breaks out of the Fenton Fisher line with a triumphant 'Ha!'.
"Get him." Vlad said, pointing at the three vultures and looking at them.
Three vultures fly towards Jack.
Danny's invisible head and my invisible head pokes through the wall intangibly.
"Dad!" Danny yelled, phasing fully through the wall with me and assumed a battle pose. "I better…"
"Look out!" I said, while Dany and I are interrupted as we float to the side, avoiding Jack who walks into the scene with a green-glowing Jack-O-Nine-Tails. Jack thrusts the weapon behind him, and whips it forward. "Gah. The Jack o' Nine Tails."
A vulture is flying and stopping with a vulture call. He screams as the three ends of the device impact him, causing him to disappear with a flash of light.
Jack is holding the device. The ropes retract into it. Jack blows over the top of it.
Danny's invisible face and my invisible face popped up on the wall of the lab.
"Whoa!" Danny said, floating invisibly. "Is this what you mean by it working out?"
"Yup." I said, floating invisibly, as Jack assumes a fighting stance. "Your dad's got this."
"Nobody's wasting Jack Fenton while his family's in danger." Jack said, running towards another vulture.
Danny and I floated off where Jack was. I am watching Jack run from the back. At the Fenton Portal, Jack stops abruptly as Vlad floats down in front of him, crossing his arms and raising his nose.
"Oh please, fool." Vlad said, leaning his chest toward Jack and puts his hands on his hips. "Your family's in danger…" Jack steps back, Vlad points. "…every time you pick up a butter knife." Jack is looking at Vlad. "It's time…" Vlad puts his hands and straightens out one of his gloves. "…someone put you out of their misery."
Jack and Vlad are retaining their poses. Vlad does a punch-sweep at Jack, knocking him back, causing Jack to fly away. Jack screams.
Jack is landing in front of a counter full of beakers and flasks. There are two metal gloves on it. All the beakers and flasks scatter and shatter, but the gloves fall on Jack as he puts his hand on his head. He looks at the gloves.
"The Ghost Gauntlets!" I said, excitedly.
Jack is getting up.
"I might be a goof, I might mess up, but when my family's at stake…" Jack said, holding up and wearing the gloves. "…the gloves are off!" He looks up with realization and shifts his eyes side-to-side He turns his hands and looks at them. "Well, technically they're on, but…" He points at the gloves. "…you get the point."
Vlad is floating in front of the portal. He flies closer to Jack.
Jack's gloves start to glow green and he gets ready to land a punch.
Vlad gasps.
Jack is in the air and lands a blow on Vlad. He looked down on his green-glowing gloves on blue. Jackis jumping on Vlad and bashing him over the head.
Jack is holding his gloves up to uppercut Vlad.
Danny and I are invisible with feet on the floor.
"Whoa, he's all over this!" Danny cheered, clenching his fists. "Which means…" With two flash of lights, two rings transform him into Danny Fenton and two rings transform me back into a human. "…it's time to do my chores!"
"Good luck." I said, and Danny ran away from me.
Danny is running past a green-stain coated wall. The counter has a box with a half-eaten pizza, spilled soda cans, a plate with some old ice cream on it, and a paper cup with a straw. Vlad screams as Jack rushes by and wipes him on the counter. The counter sparkles.
"Well, the table's clear." Danny said, happily.
There is a rack of test tubes and a couple beakers, full of goo and some spilled. Vlad is thrummed head-fist onto the table.
"Beakers are taken care of…" Danny said, smiling.
Jack is holding Vlad down. On the counter beside him are a number of smashed beakers and wall stains. Jack raises Vlad and throws him across the room.
Vlad is being thrown back. He lands back-first on the wall, grunting in pain. Vlad lands on his knees with his hands glowing pink, raising them to create one pink beam.
Jack reaches to the left and holds out an overflowing trash can. The pink beam disintegrates it, can and all. Jack releases his grip. He then starts clapping the pink dust off his hands.
"Aaand the trash has been taken out." Danny said, standing in front of the Ghost Portal. "Which means I have…" He turns to the portal. "…plenty of time for…"
Danny runs toward the blinking ecto-filtrator.
At the portal, Danny runs towards it and starts to fiddle with the controls. He is bathed in green light.
A green light blinks on Danny's face. An intercom is visible behind him.
"Ghost Portal to explode…" The intercom said, and Danny turns to it, panicking. "...in 30." Danny turns away from it, still panicking. "29. 28. 27. 26."
After 29, cut to Danny rushing to the filtrator, turning the red knob, pressing buttons on the green keypad, the green cylinder falls off and into Danny's hands as smoke comes out of the machine. Danny sweats liberally.
"The new filtrator." Danny said, perspiring. "Where's the new filtrator?!"
Danny is sweating and holding the old cylinder.
"This is it." I said, holding the new one, and handing it over to Jack. "Here you go, Jack."
"Uh--I probably should've done this…" Danny said, putting down his hands meekly. "…any of the five times that you told me to."
"You should have." I said, looking between Danny and Jack. "But look on the bright side."
"I'm sort of glad you didn't." Jack said, holding the new filtrator.
Danny takes Jack's and gives Jack his own.
Vlad is flying up into the air. He bends backwards and flies forward, yelling a battle cry.
Jack turns right, lifts up the canister and takes a breath, blowing out a wave of green ectoplasm.
Vlad is flying as the green wave comes for him. He screams as he is flung away.
On the ceiling of the lab, Vlad floats back, covering his eyes with his gook-coated arm. He rubs his eyes with his clean black gloves. Jack's glove reaches in and grabs Vlad by the chest, pulling him down.
Jack pulls Vlad to him. Then he turns and pulls a lever on the counter beside him. It dings.
Danny is holding the canister by the filtrator. He turns as the portal's doors open. I walked towards the portal and I'm smiling, knowing what is going to happen next.
Vlad is scarred and disheveled, in Jack hand.
"It's not possible. You're an idiot! AN IDIOT!" Vlad said, angrily.
Danny and I are by the portal. Jack walks towards the portal with Vlad.
"Maybe so…" Jack said, pulling Vlad toward him. "…but I'm the idiot who beat you."
Jack is holding Vlad in one hand, the other glove glowing green. He sweeps Vlad up and lands a blow on him as he falls. Vlad is knocked back, screaming in pain.
In the lab, Vlad flies back into the portal. Danny, holding the canister, turns to the portal as Vlad floats through it. The portal doors slam shut.
Danny is looking at his dad and I.
"That was awesome!" Danny said, holding the canister.
Jack walks up to Danny and I.
"Um, Danny." I said, sadly. "Aren't you forgetting the Ghost Portal? Again?"
A bell dings. Danny, Jack, and I look up.
"Ghost Portal to explode…" The intercom said, and Jack, Danny, and I panic as Danny lifts up the canister. Jack, Danny, and I are stumbling as the canister switches hands. "…in 5." Danny catches it. "…4."
Jack, Danny, and I smile.
Fenton Works…
With a flash of white light, the lab explodes. The whole thing was on a laptop on the table in the kitchen.
Jack, Danny, and I are sitting at the kitchen table with a bowl of popcorn and three drinks.
"Ah, you see? That's exactly what would happen if you don't change the ecto-filtrator every six months." Jack said, frowning.
"Why do you even have this simulation on your laptop?" Danny asked.
"So I never forget to tell you why it's important to change the ecto-filtrator." Jack said, looking at Danny.
"The Ghost Portal needs to be maintained like the TARDIS. Forget something and it explodes right in your face." I said, sipping on my Mountain Dew. "So don't forget to change the ecto-filtrator, Danny."
Jack, Danny, and I are at the table.
"I won't." Danny said, smiling.
Danny, Jack, and I get up. Danny points up at Jack.
"And you shouldn't forget this." Danny said, knocking his elbow into Jack. "I'm really proud of you, Dad. I can't believe you beat that ghost back into the Ghost Zone."
Danny puts down his arms, Jack puts his gigantic hand over Danny's shoulders.
"Aw, thanks Danny." Jack said, while we walked away,leaving the kitchen. "So, from here on in…"
"I'll remember my chores…" Danny said, pointing a finger at Jack.
"…and I'll remember that my actions have consequences to others." Jack said, and he, Danny, and I continued walking away. "Especially family."
Jack, Danny, and I walk past the door to the weapons vault. Yellow effort signs are shown as Maddie and Jasmine shout and pound on the door. I used my electric shocks to open the door to the weapons vault.
"Oh. Thank you, Jared." Maddie said, pushing the weapons vault door outwards. "How did he know we were in there?"
"He has a good memory." Jazz said, with a short pause. "Man, that's cool."
(Open POV)
Ghost Zone….
At a Ghost Portal, Vlad, dirty and disheveled, is knocked hands-first through it, and it disappears quickly, disallowing him passage back.
"Unbelievable. Jack Fenton beat me." Vlad said, sticking his chest up. "Me!"
The glass case of the Skeleton Key floats up to his back. Vlad turns to it and takes it in his hands.
"And yet here I am." Vlad said, looking at the case. Skulls are on each vertex, and the green key with the skull on it is on the purple, tasseled pillow. "Holding the key I've been searching for. Oh, Jack Fenton, even in success, you fail!"
A roaring is heard and a shadow envelops Vlad, who looks with sudden realization. He turns right.
Vlad is holding the case. In front of him is the tail and chest of the red Behemoth. Pan up to reveal it and it's four arms ready, smiling at its prey.
Vlad is dwarfed by the Behemoth. The Behemoth shrieks, bends down and eats him whole, getting up to swallow him.
"Oh, BUTTER BISCUITS!" Vlad yelled, in the Behemoth.
