Phantom Pheels

Chapter 2

Sam and Jazz ran into Fenton Works where they nearly bumped into Mr. and Mrs. Fenton in the kitchen.

"Jazz, Sam, have either of you seen that awful Danny Phantom?" Maddie questioned.

The girls took quick glances at each other.

"No... but why?" Jazz asked.

"It seems your father has made a slight miscalculation," Maddie explained.

"I guess I should've done further study before blasting the Phantom kid. Look." Jack Fenton showed the girls a sterile plate with dust inside it.

"What is it?" Sam asked.

"This was the same ectoplasm I used to test the Spirit-Splitter concoction but after thirty minutes, the ectoplasm turned gray and dissolved into dust."

Hearing this, the girls' hearts nearly stopped beating.

Not noticing the reactions, Jack continued. "We got to find the ghost punk and collect his remains."

"Wait!" Sam shouted. At the surprised look on the adult faces, the goth girl cleared her throat and said in a calmer voice. "I mean, isn't there a way to save him. Reverse it?"

"I never made one for the splitter," Jack replied. "Can't stop to explain though! We gotta find Phantom."

"Jack's right," Maddie said. "We'll be back shortly. Bye kids."

Mr. and Mrs. Fenton ran out with the Spirit-Splitter and left the two teenage girls alone. Said girls were in disarray. Their dear friend and brother could be gone within minutes!

"What are we going to do?" Jazz said with tears in her eyes. "Danny's in pieces and we have no way to merge them back together."

Sam blinked as she thought. "Merge...?" she said. And then she jumped up, "That's it!" she ran down to the lab.

"Sam! Where are you going!?" Jazz exclaimed as she followed the goth girl.

"Danny's been split apart before when he used the ghost catcher." She made it into the lab and quickly found the giant spectral dream catcher. "Remember when you saw two Danny's at the same time?"

"Yes..." Jazz said recalling the crazy event when she thought she lost it.

"He split himself with this thing." Sam pointed at the catcher. "If the Ghost Catcher can merge two Dannys back together maybe it can do the same with five of them."

Jazz nodded. "It's the best we got. Let's do it." she and Sam grabbed the large catcher, held it up, and carried it up to the stairs.

"Don't go too fast, you're gonna to make me trip," Sam complained.

"We have to hurry before my parents find him... or worse." Jazz said grimly.

"Don't talk like that," Sam said. "Leave the dark stuff to me and let's just focus on saving Danny."

"You're right. I mean we've only been gone for two minutes. What could've happened?"

Jazz and Sam first checked to see that the coast was clear. Once it was deemed safe of the Fenton parents, the two teens stepped out of the house and went to where they left Tucker with the five Dannys'. But when the ladies got there, they found Tucker, Sad Danny, and Fearful Danny trapped in a green and red ecto bubble.

"Tucker! What happened!?" Jazz exclaimed.

Tucker struggled against the near stranglehold he was in with the two Dannys'. Sad Danny was crying a pool of tears, and Fear Danny was hyperventilating.
