Secret Weapons/Transcript

	Fade in on a movie theater showing the movie called “Cyber Zombie Commando Movie Marathon”. Cut to Sam and Tucker exiting the movie theater. Tucker and Sam start to yawn and flex their arms and stretching out their chests.
Sam	I can't believe we sat through all three Cyber Zombie Commando movies.
Tucker	I could've used a little less Zombie, and a little more Cyber. But that's me. I'm all about the Cyber.
	Sam and Tucker looked across the street in search of Jazz.
Sam	Coast is clear, Danny.
Danny	Sweet! [Becomes visible] No sign of Jazz?
Sam	No sign of Jazz.
Danny	Good. Ever since Jazz found out I'm fighting ghosts, she's been kind of--[Cut to Jazz immediately drives up in a pink sedan and parks in front of the movie theater. She tackles Danny against the wall of the movie theater.]--pushy.
Jazz	Danny, are you okay? [Danny, still in Jazz's grasp. She shoves a Fenton Thermos onto his stomach.] You know you should never leave the house without a Fenton Thermos. [Whispers] What if there's a ghost around?
Danny	There's no ghost around. If there was, my ghost sense would go off. [His ghost sense goes off.]
Jazz	Like that?
	Jazz and Danny look up in the sky to see Skulker flying through the air. Cut to Skulker's face as he notices Danny and the others. Cut to everyone looking on in shock except Danny.
Tucker	Skulker? He's hunting you again?
Jazz	Again? As in more than once?!
Danny	Jazz, take it easy. There's a rhythm to these things. Ghost attacks, (makes hand gestures) we exchange witty banter, I kick ghost butt, and we all go home having learned a valuable lesson about honesty, or some such nonsense.
Jazz	[takes a pencil from her hair, a notebook from her back pocket and writes down information.] Attack. Banter. Kick butt. Lesson. Got it. So, why's he not attacking?
Danny	[Opens eyes in shock.] What? [Sees Skulker flying away from him.] No attack? He's ignoring me?
	Cut to Axion Labs, after-hours. Cut to Skulker flying toward it. Skulker phases into a laboratory and floats. He coasts through the metal doors intangibly. Going tangible again, he raises his binoculars, and sees red target-sighting screen focuses in on the lockers in a X-Ray version. Zoom in on the Bloodstream Nanobots jar. Cut to Skulker lowering his binoculars, smiling evilly. He flies over and turns his hand intangible places it on his locker. Cut to Skulker holding the Bloodstream Nanobots jar. Zoom out a little as Danny pops into the scene. Skulker begins to startle and almost drops the jar. We see Danny Phantom, arms crossed, floating behind him.
Danny	"Bloodstream Nanobots?" What are Bloodstream Nanobots? [Skulker turns around shoots out a net towards Danny, who is captured in it.] Hey! [He is trying to break free and sees Skulker floating right pass him and phases through a metal door.] Get back here! [charges up his hands with ecto-energy and bursts from the net with a cry.] You didn't even call me "whelp!"
	Danny begins to charge at Skulker. Cut to Sam, Tucker, and Jazz in Jazz's car driving down the road. Tucker and Sam are in the back of it. Up front, Jazz is driving. Cut to Sam, with the wind blowing her hair.
Sam	Jazz, did it ever occur to you that Danny's been doing just fine on his own [gets a serious look on her face] without your help?
Jazz	Exactly! So imagine how much better he'll do with it.
	Cut to Jazz's car pulling up to Axion Labs. Cut to the top exterior of Axion Labs. Skulker and Danny phase through the ceiling. Danny flies after Skulker across the night sky. Cut to Jazz, Tucker, and Sam. Jazz exits her car and runs up, with the Fenton thermos.
Jazz	You just earned a one-way ticket to Thermos Land, ghost! (holds the thermos out and it blasts out a beam of energy, but starts to lose control and fall to the ground.)
	Pan up to Skulker, the beam missed him. Pan right to show the beam hits Danny as it engulfs him. Cut to Tucker and Sam gasping. Cut to Danny, as he is pulled into the thermos. Cut to Jazz, holding the thermos and looking at it, unsatisfied with the capture. The thermos smolders blue. Jazz looks at Tucker and Sam. Cut to Tucker and Sam, their faces' went from surprised to scornful.
Jazz	Think I should work on my banter?
Tucker	Start with your aim.
	Theme song.
	Fade in to Casper High. Music is playing. Cut to a teen opening his locker. Pan left to Danny, Tucker, and Sam. Danny is wearing his backpack and walking down the hallway with Tucker and Sam, while Tucker is smiling. Tucker laughs.
Danny	It's not funny, Tucker.
Tucker	Come on. Six hours crammed in the Fenton Thermos? It's totally funny.
	Cut to a hallway that shows the trio and Dash going through his locker.
Danny	Yeah?
	Cut to Dash holding his books. Danny’s arm pokes in, knocking Dash's books with his hands so Dash will get mad. Pan up to Dash's face. He turns around and gets angry at Danny.
Danny	He did it. [points at Tucker]
	Dash grabs Tucker by the collar, yanks him, stuffs him into a locker, closes it, and walks away. Danny and Sam walk with Danny leaning on Dash's locker.
Tucker	[In the locker, sound metallically muffled.] Oh, come on!
	Cut to Danny's face.
Danny	Is it funny now?
	Cut to Dash's locker lock. Sam's hand comes in, dialing the combination. Cut to Danny and Sam.
Sam	I know you're annoyed, Danny, but look on the bright side. [leans her head on Dash's locker and hears a sound] Maybe that's the kind of mistake that'll get Jazz to stop interfering.
	Dash's locker opens, revealing Tucker. Jazz walks in and closes Dash's locker. Jazz is holding a laptop in front of her with her left arm, looking happy.
Tucker	[In the locker.] Darn it!
	Cut to Jazz.
Jazz	Guess what I figured out.
	Cut to Danny and Sam, looking uninterested.
Jazz	[pulls up her laptop] I've done painstaking research on last night's mystery ghost.
	Cut to Jazz's laptop. Depicted on the left-hand side is a 75% blue and 25% red pie chart on the top. Below it is a bar chart. A horizontal bar graph in the top middle. A vertical DNA strand on the right-hand side. The caption in the top right reads, “Ghost Files.”
Danny	Uh, you mean Skulker?
Jazz	Lets just call him "Ghost X." And based on my research, I would characterize him as a hunter of some sort.
	Cut to Sam dialing Dash's locker lock.
Sam	Oh, she's good. We didn't figure that out until he screamed, [opens Dash's locker] "I am the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter." [Tucker falls to the floor.]
Jazz	Here's my composite sketch of Ghost X.
	Pulls a folder from her backpack that reads, "TOP SECRET." and gives it to Danny. Cut to Danny picking up the folder and opens it. An image of drawn Skulker appears in a paper in Jazz's folder. Cut to the legs. Pan up to the face. Cut to the trio. Danny looking unimpressed. Sam looking like she doesn't care. Tucker get up from the floor stretching out his back. Cut to the trio plus Jazz.
Jazz	And I took the liberty of crafting, I must say, some funny witty banter for your next encounter with him. Bye!
Sam	[taking the folder and reading] "See ya later, X"? "X marks the spot"? "You've been X'd"? [Stop reading]  None of these are funny!
Tucker	And nothing's funnier than her sucking you into the Thermos. You can't follow broad physical comedy like that with a one-liner.
	Danny, looking annoyed. Looked over at Kwan and Star. Cut Kwan holding his books. Danny’s arm pokes in, knocking Kwan's books with his hands so Kwan will get mad. He turns around and gets angry at Danny. Danny points at Tucker again. Kwan grabs Tucker by his backpack, stuffs him into a locker, closes it, and walks away.
Danny	But if Jazz thinks I'm letting her help, maybe she'll stop interfering as much. Worth a shot?
Sam	Worth a shot.
	Danny and Sam walk away.
Tucker	[In the locker.] Nobody's coming to get me, are they?
	Fade in on The Mr. Meat butcher shop, after-hours. Cut to Lunch Lady Ghost.
Lunch Lady	Feast on my [raises her hands and wieners into the air behind her] hotlinks of doom!
	Cut to the whole shop. A window. Columns of meat counters. The lights are on. Cut to a farther shot, Danny and friends are seen from the back, Danny floating in a fighting stance. Lunch Lady is floating in the air, looking furious in her attack stance. Cut to Danny.
Danny	Okay, Jazz. Now!
	Zoom out to show Jazz sliding from the right holding up a short metal rod.
Jazz	Stand back! I'm trained in this thing!
Tucker	Trained by her dad!
Jazz	[Jazz accidentally snags Danny with the Jack-o'-Nine and slams him into the Lunch Lady Ghost, where they vanish.] Wait, witty banter. [Takes out her notepad] "Take that, Lunch-a-belle! And your evil wieners, too!" [Smiles]
	Cut to a wall. Danny slams into it and falls into a vat of hot chitterlings. Cut to Jazz, smiling. Sam and Tucker, looking shocked. Cut to the vat. Danny raising his head, scornful. Fade in on Floody Waters sign frozen in an ice block with white sparkles. Cut to a red mountain with a face and a frozen water slide. Cut to the rest of the water park. The sun shies on the water park. Pan right across the water park to Danny, Jazz, Sam, and Tucker battling with Klemper, throwing ice blocks at them.
Klemper	Won't anybody be my friend?!
	Cut to Jazz. Jazz brings out a bat. She runs and hits the ice blocks with it. Danny flies by her.
Danny	You're going up to him with the Anti-Creep Stick?
Jazz	I know what I'm doing, Danny. Give me your worst, Friendly Fiend! You haven't got the guts. Huh? Guts?
Danny	Uh, yeah. See, the "guts" joke would have been better in the last fight.
	Cut to Klemper. He takes a breath and opens his mouth to shoot out blue mist. Cut to the ground. The mist forms into a cloud on the ground and spreads into ice. Jazz slips on the ground and spins out of control. The bat hits Danny and he falls off-screen with such force. Cut to Danny, falling back again. The screen pans left as Danny lands on his back on the frozen waterslide of a ride so hard he cracks it. Giant ice cubes fall off-screen. Cut to Klemper. He flies away. Cut to Jazz. She turns around.
Jazz	I'm helping! [looks, confused]
	Cut to a pile of fallen giant Ice cubes. Danny, Tucker, and Sam.  They rise in the middle of the destroyed ice cubes, bruised. They look scornful. Cut to Jazz, smiles. Fade in on ships and pans to a row of warehouses and other buildings along a dock. Inside one of the buildings, a pile of glowing boxes are covering Sam and Tucker. Pan to the right to show Danny linking his hands with Box Ghost in an attempt to wrestle him down. Their hands shake with effort. Box Ghost, who is still clasped in his fingers to push his down, is looking increasingly unsure. Danny pushes his arms forward, with Box Ghost barely able to defend as he becomes more worried. Jazz kick down the door carrying a Fenton Thermos.
Jazz	Freeze!
Danny	Once again, right idea, wrong fight!
Jazz	I got him! I got the Crate Creep!
	Cut to Danny and Box Ghost flying in the air.
Box Ghost	"Crate Creep?" I am the Box Ghost! [Danny covers his face with his hand in embarrassment.] Who are you?! No, seriously, who is she?
	Jazz jumps on a stack of boxes, losing her balance. Jazz accidentally activates the Fenton Thermos, and the beam hits Danny, looking unsurprised, and sucks him in the thermos. The thermos smolders blue. Cut to Jazz
Jazz	Whoops. Don't worry, Danny. We'll get you out of there. Eventually!
	Fade to Danny and Jazz in Jazz's car driving down the road. Danny in the passenger's seat. In the driver's seat, Jazz is driving.
Jazz	That was a good night's work, Danny. We caught three ghosts.
Danny	No. Actually, you caught one ghost. Three times. All of them, me!
	Cut to Jazz's car pulling up to their house next to the RV.
Danny	Look, Jazz. I know you're trying to help.
Jazz	Trying?
Danny	And please don't be offended, but--[A hand suddenly grab him by his shirt and pulls him up out of the car.]
Jack	Danny, check this out!
	Cut to Maddie working on the Fenton Family Ghost Assault Vehicle. Cut to a device in the RV that reads "Ecto-Converter."
Jack	Your mother and I have souped up the RV with an Ecto-Converter.
Danny	Ecto-Converter?
Maddie	It converts a ghost's natural Ecto-energy into a constantly replenishing fuel source.
Jazz	Does it hurt the ghost?
Maddie	[laughs] Oh, Jazz! You know your father and I don't care about that.
Jack	Yeah! If we hear it screaming, then we know it's working.
	Jack and Maddie climb up a ladder to the top of the RV and drills a sign that reads "PARABOLIC REFLECTOR." Cut to Jazz and Danny.
Jazz	[pretending] Too bad there's no ghosts here. Right, Danny? [playfully slaps Danny in the back] No ghosts here. [sing-songy] We know something they don't know.
Danny	I get it. [sing-songy, annoyed] Can we let it die now?
	Jazz hums a bit and playfully slaps Danny in the back again, causing him to accidentally touch the Ecto-Converter, causing it to glow and make the RV move, then the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle runs their fence, with their parents screaming. Cut to Danny and Jazz, surprised.
Jazz	[points her finger at Danny] You really need to work on controlling your powers.
	Danny's face angers. Cut to a window, closed. Nearby, Danny is in bed sleeping. Cut to the ceiling, Skulker phases through to ceiling, and he turn visible. He floats pass Danny. Skulker's shadow looming pass a sleeping Danny. Danny's ghost sense goes off. Skulker phases through to floor. Cut to the Fenton's lab. Cut a box with some lab equipment. Pan right to Skulker. He carried a box and some lab equipment fell down. He opens a drawer to see more lab equipment. Cut to a rack of test tubes and beakers. Skulker does a punch-sweep at the beakers, smashing them.
Danny	And here I thought you weren't hunting me anymore.
	Danny is seen floating in front him, his legs bent and clenched fists. Close-up on Skulker.
Skulker	Where is the Ecto-Converter?
Danny	See? That's more like it. You make demands, I ignore them.
	Skulker grabs Danny Phantom by the shirt.
Skulker	Talk! Where is it?!
Danny	[Puts his finger on his chin.] Ecto-Converter... Ecto-Converter.... Hm, let me think- oh, here it is. In my hand. [He lifts one hand]
	He lets it blaze with green energy and fires an ectoplasmic blast at Skulker, sending him into the distance. Skulker turns around and immediately knocks him through the ceiling off-screen. Scene change: Jazz is lying in her table, thrashing in her sleep. Close-up on Jazz's computer. Cut to poorly designed pictures with nickname looking upon a room full of his foes, from top to bottom is GHOST-X, then CRATE CREEP, next LUNCH-A-BELLE, and last FRIENDLY. Zoom out to Jazz's room. Danny phases out behind her, linking his hands with Skulker in an attempt to wrestle him down.
Jazz	[sits up as she wakes up] Danny?
	Outside up in the air, Danny and Skulker, still linking hands, phase through the op center and, resuming their color. Skulker and Danny come to a stop and float. Skulker lunges for him, but he dodges, going around behind him.
Danny	What do you want with an Ecto-Converter, anyway? Or those Nanobots you stole from Axion Labs?
	Skulker shoots out a bolo towards Danny's ankle, who is attached to the op center's satellite tower. Cut to Skulker.
Skulker	I ask the questions. And since you won't talk, I'll just have to beat the answer out of you. [his gauntlet sprouts five more barrels around itself] Where is it?!
	Skulker readies his ectoplasmic blast. Suddenly, an ectoblast knocks Skulker off-screen.
Jazz	[Over the GAV PA] That's right, ghost! You better watch out. This baby's juiced up by the Ecto-Converter.
	Danny nervously waves his hands at Jazz to stop, then looks up at Skulker. Skulker grins and activates his visor to scan for the Ecto-Converter.
Skulker	I like your new helper. [Flies down to retrieve the Ecto-Converter]
Danny	Jazz. [Breaks free from the bolo] Stay away from Skulker.
Jazz	You worry about Skulker. I'm going after Ghost X.
	Jazz fires the GAV's cannons, shooting an energy beam towards Skulker. He dodges it and the blast hits Danny instead. Jazz gasps. Skulker flies to the back of the GAV, takes the Ecto-Converter and flies away. Jazz watches him leave and jumps out of the GAV. Danny screams and crashes onto the pavement nearby. Jazz looks worried and rushes to help him, carrying a Fenton Thermos.
Jazz	Danny! Are you alright? I--
Danny	No, no, here. Let me save you the trouble.
	Danny pushes the button on the Fenton Thermos, causing it to suck him in. Jazz looks confused for a moment, looks around, and cautiously walks off with the Thermos. Cut to Casper High the next day.
Tucker	[Off-screen] You want us to say something to her?
	Cut to Danny, Sam and Tucker sitting close together.
Danny	I'm perfectly capable of talking to my own sister.
Sam	Which is why you're hiding from her [zoom out] in a broom closet.
Danny	Am not.
Jazz	[Off-screen] Danny?
	The trio look shocked and turn towards the door. Cut to the door.
Jazz	[Off-screen] You in there?
Danny	Hide me!
	Danny dives into an empty trash can and pokes his head out. Jazz bursts in, holding her laptop. As she walks towards them, Danny ducks back into the can.
Jazz	Cool secret meeting place. [Opens the laptop and starts typing.] So I've pieced it all together. Ghost X is clearly using the technology he stole to build some kind of [Danny pops his head up] superweapon. So, I've compiled a list of his known associates.
	Jazz clicks through files of Technus, the Box Ghost, Ember and Vlad. Danny stands up.
Danny	Wait. Where'd you get this?
Jazz	From your computer.
Danny	You hacked into my private ghost files? How'd you get the password?
Jazz, Sam and Tucker	It's "Paulina Fenton".
Sam	Seriously, Danny. It's not that hard to figure out.
Jazz	How come you never told me [turns computer around to face Danny] Vlad Masters has ghost powers? And he has a thing for mom?
Danny	Because it's none of your business!
	Danny slams the laptop shut. Sam and Tucker crawl out of the room.
Sam	If you don't mind, we'll be over there doing the "glad I'm an only child" dance.
Jazz	Danny, calm down.
Danny	"Calm down?" How can I calm down with you constantly butting your nose in where it doesn't belong?
Jazz	I was just trying to help.
Danny	Nobody asked you to help! [Jazz flinches back] You're a lousy ghost hunter, an overbearing sister--
	Outside the Janitor's closet students gather round to listen to Danny yell at his sister.
Danny	[Off-screen] --and an annoying, obnoxious know-it-all with no respect for her brother's privacy, so stop helping!
	The students in the hallway gasp. Jazz starts crying and runs out of the Janitor's closet. Danny walks out after her and the gathered students glare at him. Cut to Fentonworks. Zoom in to Danny asleep in his room. Jack and Maddie open his door and wake him up.
Jack	Danny. Have you seen Jazz?
Danny	Huh? [stretching] Jazz? I haven't seen her since yesterday. Why?
Maddie	Neither have we. We can't find her anywhere. She's gone.
	Commercial break Open on Vlad's mansion. Zoom in to his lab where Vlad is standing in front of his portal and holding Klemper.
Vlad	If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times. I will not be your friend!
	Klemper starts whimpering. The doorbell rings and Vlad throws Klemper into the open portal.
Vlad	[angrily] Oh, what now?
	Vlad stomps over to his door and is surprised to see Jazz crying at his door.
Jazz	Oh. Uncle Vlad. I've run away from home. My father's an idiot, my brother hates me and I want to live with you. [cries]
Vlad	Wait. What was that?
Jazz	I've run away from home?
Vlad	N-no. After that.
Jazz	My brother hates me?
Vlad	No, in the middle.
Jazz	My father's an idiot?
Vlad	That's the one. [Walks over to Jazz and brings her inside.] Come to Uncle Vlad.
	Jazz and Vlad walk inside his mansion. Cut to Fenton Works. Zoom in to Danny's room. Maddie is standing next to Danny's bed and Jack is pacing around the room.
Maddie	It's not like Jazz to just take off without saying anything.
Jack	[stops pacing] I know. She usually talks and talks and talks. Big words I can barely understand.
Maddie	[Sits down on Danny's bed] Danny, can you think of any reason she might be upset?
Jack	Or why she might have taken the Specter Speeder?
Danny	[to himself] She's after Skulker.
Jack and Maddie	What was that?
Danny	Uh, I mean... [Jumps out of bed and stands across the room.] I'm so upset about her leaving I'm going to skulk... her. [Runs out of the room.] Gotta go! [Running down to the lab.] I told her she was a lousy ghost hunter, so of course she decided to prove me wrong and hunt Skulker. But if anything [goes ghost] happens to her, now it's my fault.
	Danny flies into the portal. Cut to the phone ringing in the living room. Jack and Maddie come down the stairs.
Jack	608 area code. Hey, that's Wisconsin! It's Vladdie!
	Maddie answers the phone and puts it on speaker.
Jazz	[On speaker] Mom? Dad?
Maddie	Hello? Jazz? Jazz, honey, are you alright? Why are you in Wisconsin?
	Cut to Jazz on the phone at Vlad's mansion.
Jazz	[sniffles] I'm fine. I just can't be around Danny right now. So I'm staying with Uncle Vlad.
	Vlad grabs the receiver from Jazz.
Maddie	[over the phone] What?!
Vlad	Oh, think nothing of it, Maddie. She just needs to, as the young folks say, chill in.
Jazz	Out. It's chill out.
Vlad	Really? That--that can't be right.
	Cut to Jack and Maddie at Fenton Works.
Maddie	Absolutely n--
	Cut to Vlad.
Vlad	Absolutely? Oh, fantastic! I'll look after her as if she were my own. Ta.
	Vlad looks over at Jazz who smiles nervously. Cut to Fenton Works.
Jack	What a great guy. Good luck finding friends like that, huh? I'm sure she'll be fine.
Maddie	[sighs] I suppose.
Jack	[Trying to be seductive] In the meantime, Danny's busy skulking. Jazz safe in Wisconsin. We have the house to ourselves... [Drops the sly tone] I'll get the checkerboard!
	Jack runs off and Maddie frowns. Cut to Vlad putting the phone receiver back.
Vlad	Well, that's that for now. I'll send for the rest of your things as soon as the lawyer draws up the adoption papers. [Walks off and laughs evilly.]
Jazz	That's right. Keep laughing. We'll see who laughs last. Ooh, that's good! My witty banter is improving.
	Cut to Danny in the Ghost Zone flying to Skulker's Island. As he flies past one of the floating doors, Skulker slams it open and smacks Danny in the face. He is holding the lighting rod.
Skulker	Excellent. All my tasks completed.
	Danny screams as he falls, but quickly comes to a stop and rights himself and faces Skulker.
Danny	Where is she?
Skulker	What are you talking about, whelp?
	Danny fires an ecto-blast at Skulker. He flies out of the way, sending the blast towards the door he previously came out of. Technus, clearly having been showering, opens the door.
Technus	Which of you fools stole my--
	The blast hits Technus and sends him back into his realm, the door slamming behind him. Skulker watches and turns to face Danny and smiles.
Skulker	Hey. You're helping, too.
	Danny kicks Skulker in the face, sending him flying backwards.
Skulker	That's odd. No witty banter?
Danny	Not in the mood. All I want to know is what you've done with Jazz.
Skulker	I've done nothing with your sister, ghost child. Skulker hunts what he hunts. Nothing more, nothing less. Which is why I'm bringing this to my employer.
	Skulker attacks Danny with the lighting rod and throws a glowing cube. Danny is trapped in the cube, which shrinks down once he's inside. Skulker grabs the cube.
Skulker	You will be a gift.
	Cut to Jazz walking down an empty hallway. She stops at one of the doors, peers inside, and sees Vlad. He pulls down a football trophy on top of the fireplace, activating the secret lab entrance, splitting the fireplace in two. Vlad walks through and the fireplace goes back to normal behind him. Jazz smiles and quietly enters the room. She goes to the fireplace and looks around the room. She spots an open laptop on a desk and smiles. Jazz mimics a "ninja-style" jump into the chair, before sitting normally and typing on the computer.
Jazz	Aha! So, what do we have in here about nanobots and an Ecto-Converter? [Pictures of Maddie in various action poses come on the screen.] Oh, gross. [Slamming the laptop shut.] I will never be able to un-see this.
	Jazz hears the fireplace door mechanism and gasps. She frantically looks around and pulls Vlad's old yearbook off of the bookshelf. Vlad walks up from his lab, looking down, pleased. He is surprised to see Jazz sitting on one of the chairs reading a book.
Vlad	[angrily] Jasmine? What are you doing in my private study?
Jazz	Private? Why would you have a private study from someone you consider a daughter? [Looks at the yearbook and gasps.] Ooh, and you were such a looker in college.
	Vlad walks over and stands behind Jazz, looking at the yearbook over her shoulder. The book is open to a group photo of Jack, Maddie and Vlad.
Jazz	I wonder why this [folds the paper together so that Vlad and Maddie are together.] never happened.
Vlad	Ah, Jazz, you sweet, perceptive child. [Opens his arms] Oh, come give your Uncle Vlad a hug.
	They hug. Jazz smirks behind his back.
Jazz	[To herself.] Keep hugging. We'll see who hugs last.
Vlad	What?
Jazz	N-nothing.
	Jazz watches as the secret entrance slides shut. Some time later Jazz sneaks down the hallway, trying to be stealthy by jumping to hide behind the decor. She tip-toes to the private study and over to the fireplace where she pulls the football trophy. The fireplace opens and she hesitantly walks down the stairs. She gasps upon seeing the lab, eyes panning over the room before spotting Skulker's recent thefts.
Jazz	Dad's Ecto-skeleton? [Walks up to the items.] The Ecto-Converter? And the Bloodstream Nanobots? I was right! He is building a superweapon. [Doing a happy dance, walking backwards with her eyes closed.] I'm right. Uh huh. That's right. I'm right. It's my birthday. Uh huh.
	Jazz walks into Vlad, standing behind her with his arms crossed, and she immediately stops and opens her eyes.
Vlad	And what exactly were you right about, Jasmine?
Jazz	Um... [turning to face Vlad] how cool a daddy you'll be.
Vlad	[angrily] Mm-hmm. And you just happened to figure this out here, in my secret lab?!
Jazz	Which is much cooler than anything my dad could ever hope to build.
Vlad	[In a lighter tone] Yes, it is, isn't it? Mm-hmm. Well, perhaps I'm being a bit harsh. After all, I have no reason to suspect you of any deception.
	Jazz smiles hesitantly. The portal activates and both turn to face it. Skulker walks through, carrying the lighting rod and Danny, still trapped in the cube.
Vlad	[Harshly] And now I do.
Skulker	Sorry to interrupt. I brought you the final piece of your superweapon. [Tosses the lightning rod to Vlad.] This one's on the house.
	Skulker drops the cube and kicks it towards Jazz and Vlad. It slides to a stop and Danny wakes up and looks up, seeing Jazz.
Danny	Jazz?
Jazz	Danny?
Danny and Jazz	What are you doing here?
Vlad	You two know each other?
Danny	[simultaneously with Jazz] Yes. No. Sorta.
Jazz	[simultaneously with Danny] No. Yes. Sorta.
Vlad	[sighs] I'm torn. I love the idea that you've left your father for me. Yet I'm suspicious of your motives now. Only one thing to do, I guess.
	Danny and Jazz smile innocently.
Jazz	Let us both go and let the courts figure it out?
Vlad	Oh, close.
	Cut to an unlit football field behind Vlad's mansion. Cut to Vlad's hand reaching out of the darkness holding a remote. He pushes a button and the flood lights turn on, illuminating the field to show Jazz in the Ecto-skeleton and Danny still in the cube. They both look around confused.
Jazz	Uncle Vlad, is this necessary?
	Vlad's face appears on a large flat screen overlooking the field.
Vlad	Why, Jasmine, you didn't expect me to take you in as my own without first testing your loyalty?
	Jazz blinks. As Vlad explains, the screen shows the various pieces of the super-weapon he's describing.
Vlad	I've improved Jack's Ecto-skeleton using the lighting rod and Ecto-Converter as an endless power source. Meanwhile, the Nanobots will control your breathing and heart rate.
Jazz	So the suit won't waste me?
	Cut to Vlad holding the microphone in the control room.
Vlad	No. So I can if you betray me. But that needn't happen as long as you behave like a good little adopted daughter to me.
Danny	Let her go, Vlad. She's clearly just some clueless know-it-all who got in way over her head.
Jazz	You're toast.
Danny	Oh, yeah? You and what toaster?
Vlad	And that's my cue.
	In the control room Vlad pushes a button on the remote and the Ecto-skeleton whirs as the Ecto-converter activates, powering the suit. Jazz looks at the suit as it comes online. Next to Jazz, the cube around Danny disappears, freeing him. Danny looks up towards Vlad and stands next to Jazz, who is still staring at the suit.
Danny	Okay. On my signal, run.
Jazz	You're not the boss of me. I'll run when I feel like it.
Danny	Fine!
Jazz	Fine!
	Danny starts running towards the end of the field and after a moment Jazz runs as well. As she runs the Ecto-skeleton thuds loudly with each step, the mechanics audibly whirring. She comes up next to Danny, looking at him with a satisfied smirk, before overtaking him with a power boost from the suit. Danny takes off flying to catch up with her. Jazz, in the lead, is almost at the end of the field but is stopped when she slams into an electrified invisible shield. Danny flies into it a second later; both of them scream as the electricity surges through them. Danny and Jazz are flung back and land on the ground. Danny gets to his knees and looks up at the giant screen where Vlad is watching them.
Vlad	[On the flat screen] I fixed the ghost shield, too. It works on ghosts and humans. [Waves goodbye.] You kids have fun.
	The screen turns off, leaving Danny and Jazz alone on the field. They turn to face each other. Jazz glares at Danny and they both stand up and circle each other.
Danny	[Looking towards the control room.] We're gonna have to fight. [Turns to Jazz.] But we're gonna need to make it look convincing.
	Jazz hits Danny with an uppercut, sending him into the shield. He screams as he is shocked by the electricity and falls back to the ground.
Jazz	That's for humiliating me in front of the entire school.
Danny	[Still on his knees] Okay. I deserved that. And I'm sorry. [Walking over to Jazz, stretching out from being slammed into the shield.] You were just trying to help, but please. Just follow my lead.
	Jazz hits him with another uppercut, sending Danny up in the air where is he is, again, shocked by the ghost shield. Weakened from the shield, Danny free-falls. As he opens his eyes, he sees Jazz directly under him, smiling and prepared for another attack. She punches him, sending him all the way to the other end of the field. As Danny tumbles through the air Jazz bolts down the field to reach him before he hits the ground, again punching him before he even lands. This time, Danny catches her fist with one hand. They are equally matched for the moment and Jazz looks up at him, scared and/or surprised. Danny reaches his other hand down and grabs the front of the Ecto-skeleton, turns it intangible, and flips it backwards down into the ground. Once its buried half-way, Danny releases the intangibility, leaving the Ecto-skeleton stuck in the ground. Jazz struggles to get out of the ground but still remains stuck. Danny puts his hands on the front of the helmet and leans in to make sure she is paying attention to him.
Danny	Will you listen to me for once in your life?!
Jazz	Duh. I am listening to you. You told me to make it convincing.
	Danny pauses, confused. He pulls back a little and looks at Jazz, who winks in response. Jazz pulls up out of the ground, grabbing his face as she does, and once she is fully out of the ground she holds Danny over her head. Vlad is watching from the control room, smiling and applauding.
Danny	[over-dramatically] Jazz, no! Don't! Please!
	Jazz swings him around and throws him at the shield again. Danny is smiling as he is flung towards the shield. He falls to the ground and Jazz runs to his side and kneels down.
Jazz	Danny? [Danny opens one eye and smiles at her before playing dead again.] [Over-dramatically:] Oh, no. What have I done? Can you ever forgive me?
	Vlad walks up to Danny and Jazz.
Vlad	Of course I forgive you, Jasmine, now that you've proven your loyalty.
	Danny opens his eyes, turns intangible and waves goodbye as he phases into the ground. Vlad looks to Jazz who has one hand aimed at his face.
Jazz	Guess again, fruit loop.
	Jazz fires an energy blast at him, sending Vlad crashing into the bleachers.
Vlad	Oh. So that's how it's going to be, eh?
	Vlad pulls out the remote and Jazz steps back, scared.
Vlad	Have you forgotten that with a press of a button, I can end your resistance [aims remote at Jazz] once and for-- [Danny's hand comes up from under the bleachers and takes the remote.] Oh, cheese logs.
	Vlad leans down and peers under the seats of the bleachers. From the darkness Danny holds a glowing ball of ectoplasm and fires it directly into Vlad's face. Vlad is sent flying and crashes into the ground in front of Jazz. Danny floats over and hovers next to Jazz.
Vlad	[Sitting up.] You... you... you... you tricked me! Both of you!
Danny	Barely. [Mimic-mocking Jazz] "Oh, no. What have I done?" [chuckles] What was that?
Jazz	[Mimic-mocking Danny] "Jazz, no! Don't! Please!"
	Both Danny and Jazz laugh.
Vlad	Oh, you think you know everything, hm? Tell me, girl, did you expect this? [Vlad transforms] Haha! Surprised?
	Vlad looks up and sees Danny and Jazz are gone, with only an empty Ecto-skeleton with a note taped to it in their place. He walks up to the suit and reads the note "No. Not surprised." The Ecto-skeleton's helmet starts flashing red with "self destruct" on the front of the glass of the helmet along with the countdown.
Ecto-skeleton computer	Self-destruct initiated. Activating in five, four, three, two, one...
Vlad	Oh, butter nuts!
	The Ecto-skeleton explodes. Cut to an aerial view of the explosion. Danny and Jazz fly off through the smoke, both smiling. Cut to the Specter Speeder driving away with a plume of smoke in the background.
Jazz	I messed up, didn't I?
Danny	Actually, I messed up. I was so busy being angry at you, I couldn't see that you really can help.
Jazz	But just because I can doesn't mean I should. Ghost fighting's your thing, Danny. I'll always be there for you. Just in different ways.
Danny	Consider yourself a reserve member of Team Phantom.
Jazz	Don't you still need to go and fight Ghost X? I-I mean, Skulker? I can totally cover for you.
Danny	Nah. I'd rather ride home with my big sister, if that's okay. Besides, I'm sure mom and dad are enjoying their alone time.
	Cut to Jack and Maddie playing checkers. Jack is frowning as Maddie places a piece on the board.
Maddie	Ha! King me! [Jack knocks the board and the table away.] Nobody likes a sore loser, Jackie! [Begins to shake her booty] I won. I won. That's right. It's my birthday.
