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:

CaF2 + H2SO4 → 2 HF + CaSO4

Then presto, you have a acid that can dissolve metal.

Or in his case, a very pesty ghost shield...

He studied the ghost shield closely, waiting for a good distraction. As the ghosts began to fight his eyes widen, seeing this as his chance and once again searched threw his backpack and found his faded red helmet and strapped it on Along with his black knee and elbow pads.

Will it do him much good? Probably not. Does it make him feel better about coming into a battle zone? Yes. Yes it does.

He took a deep breath and charged in. Going through the ghost shield was almost like going through water (honestly he thought it was going to be like going through air) he was dogging echo-blasts left and right. When he was finally reached the machinery the took out the plastic cylinder container and dumped the Hydrofluoric acid onto it. 

Soon, small sparks began to fly (literally) as the machine began to slowly melt down. Wes threw his hand into the air as the ghost shield disappeared and all the ghosts except Danni and Phantom left."yesss!"

Wes's celebration was cut short as Agent Y stormed up to him. His face was twisted with fury and pure anger, if he wasn't wearing those dark glasses, his eyes would of been squinted and burned with unadulterated rage. Wes took a couple of steps back, while he wouldn't admit it, the guy kinda scared him. 

Wes's eyes widen in shock as the man grabbed him by the cuff's of his shirt jerked him off the ground and began shaking him. "you, IDIOT!" the man hissed "DONT YOU GET IT?!  THIER GHOST, MONSTERS! YOU STUPID, STUPID KID DONT YOU-"

Before Agent Y could continue in his paroxysm. Wes once again felt the cold static as Phantom abruptly yanked Agent Y back, causing him to drop Wes. Wes could only stare wide eyed and agape from the ground as Phantoms hands glowed a toxic green as they began to corrode the cuffs of Agent Y's white suit. Phantom's eyes glowed like two torches of green fire from the pits of hell themselves "I think, that's enough, Agent Y." Phantoms voice rang through the air in a unnatural ghostly echo.

 Agent Y mouth trembled as though he wanted to say something, but was too terrified to do so. His hands shook as if he wanted to struggle and rip Phantoms hand off of him, but knew that like his suit they would corrode his hands away as well. Agent Y began to sweat nervously "w-what are you going to do me Phantom? Huh? K-Kill me?!" Agent Y began to regain his bravo and hiss out venomously "You don't have it in you. Go ahead, do it, I dare you."

Phantom leaned forward while doing a deadly chuckle "don't temp me. After all, I just might do it."

Whatever bravo Agent Y had left in him vanished and he gulped nervously "y-you wouldn't! The files- You would never-"

However Phantom cutted him off from finishing "Normally? No, I wouldn't." Then his glare hardened "but when people like you threaten lives of innocents? Then yes. I would." Then Phantom dropped Agent Y to the ground with a heavy thud as the last of the threads from the suits color corroded away. "Consider this a warning, Agent Y."

Phantom then turned to chap-fallen Danni "come on Danni, lets go home." But as Phantom turned around, Agent Y grabbed a eco-gun near him and shot at Phantoms left rib-cage.

"DANNY!" Danni cried as she flew to him and caught him before he could hit the ground and quickly turned the both of them invisible. 

Before Agent Y could go back at Wes a strong hand on his right shoulder held him back. As he looked up he saw that it was only Jack Fenton. "Agent Y, leave the kid alone."

Agent Y jerked out of his grip, but did as he was told.

Then Jack trailed his eyes to where Wes was. "Ah, hey there kiddo! Gotta ask, why did you free deadly and dangerous ghosts? Your not one of those fan boy's, are ya'?"

For a second, Wes didn't respond. He was still processing what just happened. Then shook his head "um... no?"

Mrs. Fenton dusted off her Hazmat suit and gave Wes a heavy glair "Well then, why?"

Wes paused for a second "because... this is... this is wrong."

That seemed to surprise the Fenton's Jack looked at Wes curiously "and why do you think that?"

Wes slowly got up "you guy's seemed to think that all ghosts are evil and unsentimental being's. And maybe your right, but, there's no hard scientific evidence that that was shown to me that suggests that. Sure, their are lots of ghost attacks, but, there are a lot of terrorist attacks too. And that doesn't automatically make all people evil or even a certain type of people evil. Just the selective group of people that did the action itself evil."

Maddie let out a laugh, and looked at Wes in a way that seemed to say 'oh, you ignorant child...' "honey, all ghost are evil. And that's that, there are, no, good ghosts. Its about time you learned that."

Wes looked at her with eyes filled with determination "Mrs.Fenton, I don't know if you realize this yet, but that's a opinion. Not scientific evidence."

Maddie's eyes hardened "Wes, I studied this field of science for years. I have dedicated my whole life to this. I have experience."

Wes nodded in agreement "That's true. That's 100% true, and I don't doubt that for a second. So, doesn't that make you all the more qualified to show me evidence that what you say is true? Because for this entire conversion, you had shown me no scientific evidence what so ever. Which inclines me to believe that your theory that all ghosts are evil, is based only on your prejudice opinion against ghosts."

Everyone, the agents, the Fenton's, everyone  stood in absolute silence. Mrs. Fenton was absolutely teeming with annoyance and anger.

Jack Fenton chuckled nervously glancing nervously at his wife and Wes "ah, well then. That was, um... interesting. Maddie and I are just gonna go home now, sooo, yea..."

That seemed to snap Mrs. Fenton out of it as she glared at Wes "your parents are going to hear about this. You shouldn't of put your self in danger like you had today. You could of gotten your-self seriously hurt."

Wes nodded as the Fenton's and GIW loaded themselves and their weapons and supplies into their vans and quickly drove away.

"Thank, god! I thought that they would never leave..."

"GAH!" Wes cried out jumping away in surprise as he saw Danni and a very-injured Phantom laid in her arms barely conscious. Then he stood up strait "how... long where you there, exactly?"

"Oh, I never left. That was one epic burn, by the way." Danni replied blankly as if suggesting 'where else would she be?'.

"ohm... thanks?" Wes replied, completely bewildered at this point.

Danni nodded absentmindedly "no problem. Can we crash at your place? I left my first aid there, Danny, or Phantom, as you call him, kinda needs it..."

Wes glanced at Phantom then back at Danni "Uh, sure. Can I ask him questions afterwards?"

Danni shrugged "sure, alright. I'm gonna need your help carrying him though. I'll turn us all invisible so no one will suspect anything."

Wes paused at that, he knew that being close to Phantom and what brief contact felt like. He was a little nervous to find out what constant contact felt like. Hell, him just being this close to Phantom was making the static go crazy. "... Sure, why not?"

Danni smiled "Great! I'll get his legs and you will hold on to his chest, don't worry, nothing broken. I checked we're quit durable too."

As Wes did as he was told the static surged.

Dear lord, this was going to be a long day...



*Author's Note*

Yes, Wes can do some major burns when provoked... And, because of how short the last chapter was I made this one extra long! I hope you enjoyed this~                                          Leave the some commits below!
