This is the prologue of my new story. It's the first fanfiction I've ever posted on this site. Updating will probably be slow.
Edit:/ Changed a few things. Nothing major
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom.
Danny sighed into the phone and rolled his eyes, "Sam I am fine. Amity hasn't had many big attacks since you checked twenty minutes ago. If I'm in trouble, I will call you."
There was the sound of shuffling over the line, "I'm sorry, I just worry about you a lot. Forget goth indifference." His four-year girlfriend replied.
"I'm sorry you don't have enough faith in my abilities to not cluck over me like a mother hen," Danny retorted and turned the door knob to his dorm room.
"I have faith in you!" Sam protested, "What do you expect me to do when you and Valerie are the only skilled ghost hunters in Amity at the moment? No offense meant about your parents."
"Non taken. I'm pretty sure we'll be okay. Valerie and I have come a long way, and if we need your help I'll teleport over to you and Tucker and bring you here." Danny pushed his door open before closing it behind him and shook his backpack off his shoulders.
"Okay..." There was a pause, "I love you, don't get hurt. Bye."
"Love you too, bye"
The line went dead and Danny closed his phone he looked up and jumped, surprised to see not his roommate but a stranger in his dorm. The girl was sitting cross legged on his roommate's bed and staring at him, one hand clutching her head and the other resting in her lap.
"Uhm, hi?" He said, but only earned a blink in reply.
He vaguely recognized her from his Paranormal Science class and struggled to think of her name. When nothing came to mind he rubbed the back of his neck and said the first thing that came to mind.
"Okay, girl, could you get out of my dorm?" He asked gently.
She hesitated before picking her words, and when she spoke her voice was very soft but thick with an Irish accent, "You might want to listen to what I have to say..."
Danny mentally groaned, this was probably another crazy fangirl who wanted to admit her "undying love" for him. Ever since the disasteroid incident and his secret was revealed, it was hard to go a week without someone trying to break him and Sam up.
"Just get out, not interested in you because I already have a girlfriend." He huffed, feeling irritated.
She looked confused at what he said and than grinned, "Sorry, this is not that kind of important. It is about a very terrifying rumor that happens to be flying around the Ghost Zone." She grimaced and pulled her hand away from her head. Green and red blood covered it and he saw globs of it in her orange hair. "Could I have some water and a Tylenol?"
He stared at her hand, eyes wide before nodding and grabbing his backpack. He took out a box of Motrin and a water bottle, "Is Motrin fine?" He asked worriedly. Seeing people hurt always set him on edge.
She nodded and Danny tossed the items in question to her, "Where did you get that gash on your head?" He asked after she downed two pills and half of the water in the bottle.
"Ugh, I got it from some brawny ghost after spying on the construction of the new arena." She answered truthfully and grimaced again.
Danny felt uneasy at her multicolor blood but decided to ignore that fact, "What new arena? There's nothing being built in Amity."
"Not Amity, the Zone."
That set off alarm bells in his head, only ghosts or those familiar with the ghost realm called it the Zone instead of the Ghost Zone. He gave her a weird look, which she returned with a sigh.
"I am like you, Phantom. I was just picking up on gossip from Kitty before doing homework."
"Like me? What is that supposed to mean?..." He trailed off and thought for a moment before it came to him. "You're a ghost! No, my ghost sense didn't go off which would mean...You're a halfa?" He felt extremely confused, weren't he, Vlad, and Dani the only halfas?
"Exactly. There are more halfas in this world than you believe, most of them are only known to be full ghosts by the members in the Zone. Word of you got around so quickly because you began using your powers for good." She paused and glanced up, "I can show you my ghost form later if you don't believe me."
This news made his head spin. There were more halfas? How many were there exactly? It was...odd. He decided to ask about the rumor before she said something else that made him this confused. "Anyways...What is this rumor you're talking about?"
Sabrina tapped her fingers against her chin and frowned, "It is not exactly a rumor anymore since I snooped around and found the construction site. It has a ring of truth to it now. There's something called the Halfa Project."
Danny's brows creased and waited for her to continue.
"Apparently, Pariah Dark had a son who never manifested a ghost form until someone stumbled through a natural portal that went back in time and put it in his head that power was important. So, when he died he had an obsession to keep him attached to Earth.
"Since Fright Knight's turning against the crown isn't a secret, Pariah's son wants the strongest ghost as his personal guard before he claims to be King of the Ghost Zone. Halfas happen to be the strongest kind of ghost, so he's making an arena where he can summon all existing ghost hybrids and duel them against each other until he has the strongest ghost. After that, he will conquer the Ghost Zone part by part until he his supreme ruler. There are gaps in the plan, but you can't get everything from gossip."
Danny's jaw dropped and stared at her like she was crazy, which she was. There was no way that was nothing but a frootloop-y scheme to get him into a mental panic. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously and scowled.
She winced at his glare, "That was my first reaction but if you want I can bring you to the construction in the Zone."
Danny crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head, "There is no way that's true now get out."
Sabrina's eyes widened and she shot up to her feet, "I'm telling the truth, I can't lie! You need to do something about! Anything!" She shouted.
"And why should I do something?" He inquired, tempted to go ghost and get the crazy chick out by force.
"Because you are the savior of the Ghost Zone! You are the savior of the world! This involves you as much as it involves me."
He hesitated slightly, his hero complex and obsession kicking in, but he pushed it down as much as possible. Two white rings formed around Danny's waist and moved upward, changing his jeans and red sweatshirt into a black and silver jumpsuit with a DP insignia. "I'll force you to get out, I really am tired of listening to you spew lies in attempt to get into my head." He bluffed.
The carrot top bit her lip and stared at him for a moment before turning intangible, appearing to be a transparent hologram, and sinking through the floor.
He rubbed the back of his neck and looked to his side at his discarded backpack before taking out his laptop, sitting down on his bed, and beginning to work on an essay for Paranormal Science. He only tapped out a few sentences before paranoia and guilt settled in and he began to wonder if the supposed other halfa was really telling the truth.
Love it?
Hate it?
