A Phantom of a Truth

Chapter Nine

Danny quickly tried to damage the machine making the ghost shield that was at the center with a echo- blast. Unfortunately for him, for a metal box the size of a shoe box it was quit strong.

"Don't even bother, its ghost proof too. You cant even touch it without feeling pain ghost scum." Maddie said in a vicious tone that Danny, sadly, became all too familiar with.

Danny ignored her as he blasted the chain off, and was pleasantly surprised that it broke off. As ghosts franticly flew around to find a weak shot on the shield or something. Agent X let out a cruel laugh "makes no difference to us, you have no where to go." He said in a deep, cruel voice.

And with that, Agent X lifted his gun and shot at the closest ghost. Which was, Danni.

As the shot hit her leg she let out a pained cry and began to fall.

"DANNI!" Danny screamed as he flew down to catch her.

As he caught her she waved him off "I'm fine." and she floated once again into the air and gave the Agents and The Fenton's a determined glare. "And, yea, we're screwed. I get it" Then she looked at the other ghost and Danny "I don't know about you guys, but I am not going down without a fight."

Wes had to admit, the plan that the Fenton's and GIW produced was genius.  It was so simple. It boiled down to three steps, really,

1.) Team up.

2.)Set up the bait.

3.) Wait for Phantom to come and close the trap.

It was the oldest trick in the book. And it worked. Wes would of been much more impressed if this wasn't all leading up to the ghost's demise and painful experimentation.

As quietly and as quickly as he could, from behind a red bricked building he snuck a glance at the ghost shield, it took up the entire corner of the street and glowed a neon green.

From the older Fenton's blabbering and Wes seeing the ghost portal in work when they put it up around the school once. He knew that while ghost couldn't go through. Humans, however, could go back and fourth with no problem. 

Wes got on one knee and slung his navy blue backpack off his right shoulder and rummaged through his supplies.

True, he wasn't a expert fighter, a mechanical genius, a tech extraordinaire or even a decent inventor. However, he was creative, observant, fairly smart and-

Knows a thing or two about chemistry.

Even as a kid (well, a younger kid. Fourteen going on fifteen isn't really all that old) The science of it all fascinated him, to have so many various mixtures and results. Not only did he like it, it came easily for him, too. Plus, what else was he going to do with that chemistry set his grandma gave him that Christmas?

Wes pulled out a plastic container with a taped on label, and smiled a mischievous grin that would make Danni proud. 

Hydrofluoric acid, is actually pretty easy to make for such a deadly chemical that can melt down pretty much everything but plastic.

All you have to do is mix mineral fluorite (CaF2) with concentrated sulfuric acid. Slap it in the oven at 265 °C in a cook-able plastic cookie container, let the two mix and make hydrogen fluoride and calcium sulfate according to the following chemical equation:
