Hollow Phantom, Featuring Danny and Jazzy Phantom
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. And due to my lawyers, aka reviewers, it has come to my attention to also say I do not own any property inspired/stolen from Marvel's Thor, Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, Mahou Sentai Magiranger, and Bleach.
Kei: Happy New Year, folks! We figured we start it with the first chapter of the third story in the Darkness Phantom Quardrilogy... wait, that's a word?!
Julia: Since Grammarly didn't check it, guess so.
Kei: Anyway, in this chapter, we will begin the final battle between Danny, Jazz, Tucker, Sam, Desiree, and Valerie(a lot of girls) against the Heretic Gods of Darkness. Everything we've worked on in Blackness Phantom will come to fruition here. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Hollow Phantom.
The First Darkness: Danny Phantom in Darkness Phantom
Amity Park; it's the safest place in the world. At least, that's what the billboards always say. In this world, it is literally the least safe among Earth's cities. Why?
"You're mine today, Phantom!" This is why. Amity Park is home to a large number of otherworldly monsters, ghosts really, far more than any other place in the world. Thankfully, it has protectors.
Flying over a hail of ice the size of minivans, a boy can be seen making his way towards his opponent. This ice using villain is a black specter adorning a crimson coat of arms on his chest with a golden lightning bolt going down it. He has a twister composed of his lower half, lightning bolts for hair, and dark red eyes.
He gives a loud gasp and fires a wave of heat from his hands. His target is the boy trying to stop him. He is a silver-haired teenager wearing a suit composed of black, the same shade of grey as his hair, and green balls on his person. His cape flows out exposing the DP on his chest.
The green orbs turn cyan in color as he extends his left hand, sweeping it across the air in front of him. From his palm releases a chilly mist, where several weapons solidify from the ice. Some of them are circular disks, axes, swords, spears, and arrows.
Raising his arms, the caped hero throws his arms out firing all his weapons forth at his opponent, the storm ghost being blitzed by the onslaught of his frozen arsenal that tears through him like snot through tissue paper. Gasping loudly, he's thrown back into a wall, his green DNA squishing out from behind him onto what he fell on.
Grunting, the ghost glares forth saying, "You miserable brat! I'll be sure to-" He stops, gasping at the sight in front of him.
The ghost boy stands with his left arm extended, a cylindrical object extending from his arm aimed at the specter. A white beam shoots out and hits the ghost, its power ensnaring and pulling him like a vacuum into its chambers. His screams follow and silence.
Finally finished, the boy checks his right arm for the time. "Time to go." Raising his hand, his ice powers rends through space opening a hole. He flies in through, his passing closing up the hole.
On the other side, he comes out to a living room, his home at Fenton Works. He smiles as he detaches the cylinder from his arm. "Well Vortex, it looks like you've been-"
"Seriously Danny, work on your jokes." He turns around to his friends sitting on the couch not far from where he is. They're a black kid with crusty lips and a red beret along with a yellow shirt over green cargo pants and brown boots. It's weird that he wears them too. His hair is kind of nappy too.
The other is a woman with black hair wrapped in a ponytail with pupilless violet eyes. She a black t-shirt with a violet circle on it and a black-green plaid skirt reminiscent of a kilt, with hiker boots on. "That didn't take long at all, did it?"
"Not at all Sam," he tells her while holding his hand out showing the case holding the villainous ghost. "Vortex is caught, and the damage is minimal. No sign of those Ghost Sheriffs either, Tuck."
"Danny!" Coming down the stairs… okay, that's a lie. Coming from the ceiling are two women holding hands with each other. The two become visible as the first person who spoke steps towards the younger ghost half. This girl with her orange kissed hair glares at him. "How dare you go off and fight a ghost without me? I thought we were a team!"
"I wanted to do it fast. Also, you still have a habit of sucking me into the Fenton Thermos."
"That was one time!"
"A week," says the other girl next to her, an ebony goddess of an adult with long, midnight hair and crystal blue eyes. "You've sucked him up at least once a week, Jasmine. Keep it up and Sam'll get jealous."
"Gross!" says Danny, Jazz, and Sam in unison. Tucker only snickers.
"But, it's only appropriate that I say this," she approaches him, "welcome back home." The older woman delivers a powerfully warm smile to the boy of her affections as he comes forth. So powerful it is, he smiles back at her ignoring what she said earlier.
Sam watches with a scowl as the two give each other warm looks. Biting her bottom lip, she steps over past Danny. Noticing her, he asks, "Sam, where are you going?"
"Home," is her cold reply.
Noticing her storming off, Tucker follows after the rich goth. The African asks, "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm sick of waiting." She turns back to her friend. "I'm going to get some answers. Since Danny's not going to speak about how he and Desiree really know each other, and I absolutely REFUSE to talk to her, there's only one guy in the universe who can tell me."
"Yeesh…" Tucker watches as she leaves for home.
Time Goes By…
Night falls over the skies of Amity Park. Outside of Fenton Works, Sam Manson can be seen tiptoeing inside the front door. She isn't really dressed for breaking and entering, which she's obviously doing, just wearing the same stock clothing one would always find her wearing.
After moving aside the doormat and picking up the key hidden underneath it, "Seriously, Mr. Fenton, get better security," she unlocks the front door and sneaks inside with the quiet grace of a ghost.
She continues until reaching the basement, where she finds the Specter Speeder just in front of the Ghost Portal. Staring at it for a moment, she scowls. "Damn it, Jazz. I wanted to get ghost powers too…" Sighing, she opens the portal and steps inside the machine.
Sam then turns on the speeder, and after a few seconds of charging up, jets into the purgatory known as the Ghost Zone. Her machine continues to fly through the dark skies heading towards a familiar section of the zone.
The speeder flies until passing into and through the construction just floating in space, a large clocktower battered by the sands of time. Inside, the door opens up allowing Sam to jump out. She turns to face the person she came to visit.
"Well well. You took longer than expected." The sole resident of the clock tower turns to face his guest, an elderly ghost wielding a time staff.
"Cut the monologue, Clockwork. You know why I'm here-"
"To learn the truth behind Desiree's feelings for Danny and the connection they share."
Of course, this angers her. "Don't do that."
"No." The goth pulls out a ray gun and aims at him. "Now how exactly will that work, considering I can stop time?"
Angered, she puts the gun away glaring at their world's representation of Father Time. Clockwork turns to the windows of time hanging over the top of them. "I might as well tell you, considering what it leads to later on."
A window shows Sam the first thing she needs to see. Here it shows the Observants coming to visit him. "It all began roughly a week after Danielle Phantom was injected with the Ecto-Dejecto and Valerie Gray discovered Vlad Plasmius' true identity."
"Wait, hold up! When did that happen?!"
"Focus," he replies, turning into a child. "The Observants came to me to discuss an inevitable problem, the rise of Revenant Plasmius."
"Wait, who?"
"Stop interrupting." His red eyes glare at her. After her apology, he continues. "Back when the Ghost King first broke free of his prison, he sought to steal the Darkness of Infinity, the Crown of Fire and Ring of Rage." He watches her raise a hand to respond, only to stop catching herself. "But after certain events, he had to postpone those plans to that day. Luring Danny into a trap he would force him to return home so he wouldn't notice he would steal the Artifacts of Darkness from Pariah Dark with the Fright Knight as his assistant. I took this opportunity to gift Danny with the item to fight off and destroy the crown and ring, the Darkness of Death known as the Doomsickle." He shows her images of Danny gaining the scythe and Dunames fusing it to his arm.
Sam looks down at the side of her eyes, thinking. 'Wait… when did this happen again?'
"The scythe's properties rejects ghosts and ends their afterlife. But, being half ghost he wasn't immune to its effects fully either." More images are revealed, with Danny reverting back to human while using the weapon. "The longer it stayed fused to him, the more it drained his life. Despite this, he managed to persevere and destroy the crown and ring, as well as the darkness of his future."
The windows show Sam Danny fighting alongside Danielle against Revenant Plasmius. The scythe slices through the crown and weakens Vlad back to his human state, and he then cuts the ring into black ectoplasm. Danny then can be seen fighting someone that utterly frightens Sam, Dan Phantom.
"Him?! But-"
"During this week, the Fright Knight set Dan Phantom free, and took action against Danny to ensure he is reborn stronger than before." Dan in the window takes hold of Desiree and uses her against Danny. "Danny, being unable to give her life up, fought back and extracted the time medal Dan fused into his chest."
Danny can be seen ripping the scythe out of his older self's chest and watches as his body disintegrates. "Without the medal, he couldn't exist in this timeline, and was vaporized to become one with the sands of time."
The next scene shows Danny fighting against Reina Dark, who extracts memories from his body. "With both of his problems over, all that was needed was to remove the scythe from his body. So, I let her handle that task. Because the Artifacts of Darkness are created with the time medals, they also exist outside of time and any changes in the past cannot undo their actions, except for the Doomsickle and the Soul Pen. That is why Reina went back in time and had Dunames remove the scythe from Danny thereby retrieving it."
Sam looks over at the window, surprised at everything she's seeing and learning. "So that's why I don't remember this; it never happened…" Now comes the real question. "Why does Desiree act this way around him?"
Clockwork then shows her images of Danny and Desiree bonding together, from the time he saved her life to their first real kiss concluding Dan's death. That dark look returns to Sam's eyes as she sees them kissing, before noticing Reina Dark stabbing Desiree.
"The Melibur contains the ability to copy memories. Using it, Reina went back in time to give the past Desiree her memories. She remembers everything that happened…" The windows then stop. "With that, I'm sure I've answered all but one of your questions."
Looking up, she glares at him angrily. "You damn right… why did you let this happen?!"
Now an adult, Clockwork smirks at her. "Figure it out."
"As if I could," she replies, her lips pursing down. "You know everything, and yet we know nothing about your motives! What do you-"
"I do what is best for the world at whole, and for the time being he is connected to it." Clockwork then turns to her. "Which is why you should probably head home. Make sure you wear your seatbelt."
Glaring at him, Sam reluctantly heads into the Specter Speeder and flies through the walls. Seeing her go, the ghost turns into an old man and says, "So nice to be able to come and go…"
With the hyper recycling vegan goth, Sam continues to fly through the olive skies of the Ghost Zone. That is until her vessel is snagged. Not having a seatbelt on, she goes flying face first into the glass and slides down into a state of unconsciousness.
What has caught the machine are an assortment of vines grabbing hold of the back of the machine. There an ominous specter looms overhead, as a feminine being stands in the background. "I don't understand; why help me?"
"A distraction worthy of bless. You and she together will make a fine mess, for Danny Phantom and his sister to dress."
"Huh?"
"Just possess her, Undergrowth!"
Yusei: And this chapter comes to an end. We'll have up the next one... indefinitely.
Takeshi: Question - why is it called a quardrilogy?
Kei: There are four stories: Darkness, Blackness, Hollow, and Metal.
Yusei: Metal?
