The Ghost-Boy Chronicles 10

Visions Part 2

“I don’t know what to do.”

Maddie sits in front her computer, holding two discs in her hand. Both discs have proof of her son being Danny Phantom a.k.a. The Ghost-Boy. She mulls over the situation feeling completely conflicted. In her head, she goes over the options that she has. “Alright. Maybe, I should reveal his identity.” She says to herself. “Whatever turned him into the Ghost-Boy might be killing him. And I might need some help reverting him back to normal. But…”

She looks over at the wall, at the photos of rival Ghost Hunters that Jack posted for motivation. “…But if word leaks out to the wrong people…who knows what they would do to him?” She sighs deeply & sadly, as she puts her head in her hands. She feels that she’s in a lose-lose situation, and doesn’t want to make a choice.

Meanwhile…

It’s a rainy & dimly lit afternoon in Downtown Amity Park, as a bright white Cleaning Van lies parked on the street corner. Nothing looks out of the ordinary on the outside, but on the inside it’s a different story. Inside, there are three Agents from the Guys in White, notorious hunters of the supernatural. Two of them are well-known, as Agent One & Agent Two. The third is a rookie who was just assigned to their mission for backup. His name, Agent Rich.

“The suspect has been known to frequent this area of town.” Agent One says. “Most of his battles with other Ghostly Apparitions have been here.”

“Therefore, we will draw him here with the lure of a rival ghost, looking to take over his territory.” Agent Two adds. “Once he takes the bait, we will confront him and capture him.”

“Why can’t I just use this cool Motorcycle to ride through town looking for him?” Agent Rich asks, pointing to the all-white Racing Motorcycle in the middle of the Van.

“Protocol!” Agents One & Two respond. Agent One walks over to a Periscope and looks through it. He scans the air, looking for any sign of Danny, and grins when he finally sees him. “Target sighted. Initiating plan: ‘Fish for Ghost-Boy’.”

He pushes the Periscope up and presses a button on a nearby console. On the top of the van, a small hatch opens up, and the Box Ghost rises up from it, locked up in a cage. “This is an inferior Box!” He yells out. “There are no solid walls for protection. When I escape, you will feel the wrath of the Box Ghost! BEWARE!!!”

High above, Danny does a quick scan of the town, wanting to check for any trouble before he heads home. He notices Box Ghost’s yells and rants, and zooms down for a closer look. Before he gets to close though, he stops short, noticing a sigh on the back of the Van which reads, ‘GiW Cleaners. We’re the Guys that get your clothes White!’

“Heh. They must be crazy if they think I’m gonna fall for this.” He says, before turning to fly away.

Agent Two notices him flying off, and promptly blames Agent One. “I told you we should’ve went with a better slogan.”

“It was your lousy paint job that drove him off.” Agent One counters. As the two Agents argue & bicker, Agent Rich takes the initiative and hops on the Motorcycle.

“The target is getting away.” He says. “Proceeding with vehicular chase.”

Before the two Agents can stop him, Agent Rich revs up the engine and floors it, busting through the back door of the van and down the street after Danny. The two Agents look at each other, and proceed to place blame. “This is all your fault.”

Danny is flying high above, trying to stay out of sight, when he hears the roar of a motorcycle engine. He looks down behind him and sees Agent Rich in high pursuit. “Boy, these guys don’t quit, do they?” Danny tries to fly ahead, but Agent Rich keeps on his tail, not letting him out of his sight. Both of their speeds are now over 50mph and rising, and neither looks ready to quit. Danny looks behind him again, checking to see if he lost him, but it costs Danny. He doesn’t see the flagpole in front of him, and has to maneuver low to the ground to avoid it. At that moment, Agent Rich pulls up right beside him.

“You’re under arrest, Freak.” He tells Danny. “Come quietly and there won’t be any trouble.”

“I would,” Danny says, “but I think I rather you just eat my dust!”

Back at Fentonworks…

Maddie is now upstairs in the kitchen. She just finished fixing herself a cup of tea as she continues to mull over the situation she’s in. As she passes the TV, she looks at a Live News Report, which is showing Danny being chased by Agent Rich. She takes a sip of her Tea, then quickly spits it out once she notices who’s on the screen. “DANNY!!!”

“Amateur video of Amity Park’s own resident ‘Ghost-Boy’ being chased by a Government Agent has just come in to the studio.” The Reporter says. “This chase is happening live as we speak. A news crew is already on the way to the scene.”

Maddie puts down the cup and stares at the screen.
