Rising King

Chapter 3: Let the madness begin!

A.N. I wanted to thank you guys for comments on this story and also mention something. As you know, new year of torture *school* is about to start, so updates wouldn't be so often. Plus I'm currently working on completely original story on my typewriter since the beginning of summer. Anyway, upwards!

Friday morning
FentonWorks
Third person POV

It was peaceful morning in Amity Park. And quiet. Except FentonWorks where duo of ectologist were working without rest whole night. They made a few last arrangements for their newest creation. At the meantime, on the opposite side of metal doors of Fenton portal people also were preparing.

Last two days Danny was carefully planning. When he told Council about humans, It's members were outraged. Some because they dared to trespass, some because it was damn safari. At first king tried to prevent trip, but when it was proved futile, he tried to find ways how to turn circumstances for good of the Zone. And there is way. GIW foolishly sent their two best agents and leading 'scientists' right into his hands. So he needed to cut out all ways of escape.

Jazz POV

Sam and Tucker spent last night at Fentons. They slept in Danny's former room, which caused my blood boil, which doesn't usually happen. How dare they. But I didn't show it, because they might become suspicious and that is last thing we need. Danny asked me to tag along with group so I could keep him updated about situation. And in case I was discovered, I would be on friendly territory.

Now they all were sitting in the living room, waiting for class to arrive. As appointed hour came, door bell rang. I wasn't surprised about what I saw. Just as Danny predicted, there isn't much people. Only A-listers and Valerie came besides Lancer, since former have parents, who give them everything they wanted. As for Valerie, I am not sure. As much as I now, Mr.Gray doesn't want his daughter to risk her neck. Maybe I should ask her later. I always thought that Val is different. That she is better than other people of her occupation. My thoughts were interrupted by Jack's booming voice:

"Hello kids, I'm Jack Fenton and this is my beautiful wife Maddie. Follow me to our lab"

With that group went down to the basement. I never liked it here. It's always dark, hundreds of chemicals with horrible smell. And ectoplasm. Ectoplasm everywhere. I don't know, how they got it before opening of the portal and honestly I don't want to. I didn't pay attention to their explaining. Now I just get away from this green substance, because, technically, that is someone's blood. (A.N. I always thought that Good Ol' Butch made ectoplasm, so they could show blood without showing it)

"Jazz? What are you doing here?" I turned around to see Tucker standing behind me with confused expression.

"I live here," it took all my willpower not to scowl.

"No, I mean why did you come down here?"

"I tag along," the second I said this, Jack appeared out of nowhere. Seriously, how is that possible for him to walk so quiet?

"That's great, Jazzy pants! So you want to be a hunter like your old man, huh?" He said wraping hand around my head. Hell no, no, no. But it's not like I could say 'I'm actually on the side of Ghost King, who just so happened to be my brother', so...

"Um, yeah I do"

"Of course you can go, Jazz!" said Maddie with smile. I'm curious how will they react to the knowledge who is in charge of their 'prey'.

I sat in the back of the 'Fenton bus' as it was oh-so-originally called. Will it kill them to make something without word 'Fenton'? And that's when it became worse. Like I hadn't enough stress, Dash Baxter himself decided to land nearby, starting to flirt with me. It's good thing that Danny isn't here or he would vaporize him with his 'death glare'. And they say I'm overprotective.

And finally we flew inside swirling mass the ghost portal is.

Third person POV

Not so long after metal doors closed behind bus, claws appeared in the basement and second later ripping sound was heard through Fenton household and green hole appeared. Three figures stepped out of it.

The first one was what you can misunderstand as werewolf. He was very tall, around two meters. Also person was covered in black fur with wolfysh head. He was dressed in green sleeveless hoodie. Giant claws were emitting eerie light. His name is Wulf and he was the one to open this gateway.

The other one had green skin and red eyes, covered by black sunglasses. He was wearing white lab coat and green gloves. Instead of legs ghost had spectral tail, which was continuation of his coat. That was Technus, Master of technology, overlord of all things beeping, etcetera, etcetra.

Last person was a young man. He had a little pale skin, his white hair flowed by nonexistent wind. He wore black piece of clothing, silver armor covered his knees and hands. Flaming green crown was on his head and the same green ring with skull was on his finger. Man was also wearing pure white cape with black insides. This person was Phantom. King Phantom.

"Wulf, stay on the lookout, Technus, follow me," were his quick orders. He hoped Jazz turned off detection systems.

After quick look around lab Danny found what he needed.

"Ghost child, you still haven't told me about my part of plan"

"All in due time, Technus," said king typing something on panel. 

"We must shut down portal to not let hunters get back. For that we need to remove Ecto-Filtrator." he gestured to the small box on the right side of octagonal construction.

"Why don't just take it off?" asked technology ghost. He may be master of electronics, but ecto-engineering is something beyond him.

"And take down a few blocks? Nah," Danny waved his hand, "At first we need to stop flow of ectoplasm inside of machine, but for that I need you to hack system and unlock it"

Technus grinned. "Behold, Ghost Child, because I, Technus..."

"We don't have a whole day. So would you kindly to hurry up?" interrupted Phantom. Only one person had bigger ego than Technus and that will be Box Ghost. However they both are beyond annoying.

With that being said Master of long speeches flew inside machine. It took him about ten minutes, but in the end he emerged victorious. Danny immediately started procedure of disabling Filtrator. Incredible, how such little thing can be so explosive. Nevertheless, after another few moments small box was in the hands of young monarch. Then small group took their leave.

Wait before Fentons and co. will find out. With portal turned off, they will have only one place to go.

A.N. My hands... they are so tired. Anyway, looks like someone got in big trouble.) I have an idea about how group will go through Ghost World. I think they should stay in the bus for the time being. I mean, it's not like there are a lot of roads in the Zone, so how can they travel by feet? What do you think 'bout it?
