A/N: Greetings fellow readers! I am really exited about how this story is going to turn out! I have tons of ideas flowing through my brain right now. Before you start reading I just have two little things to say(or type).
1. I do not own Danny Phantom especially the characters(If not, I would be a happy camper!)
2. I will surely publish a chapter at least every 3 days. (Unless I'm dead or in a coma, but I hope not)
That's all, enjoy!
Chapter 1
It's a pirate's life for me
Amity, a world where humans and ghosts co-exist. The problem was that a couple of humans and ghosts could never co-exist peacefully. There were always a few fights against each other. No one really ever won so it was just a continuous loop of hatred. On the other hand, most of the two species liked each other just enough to work or talk to each other, but sometimes they like each other a bit too much.
And that is when hybrids are made, neither fully human or fully ghost. These kind of species were rare, in one's life you could not even get to see one. Most people thought they were myth, not understanding that ghosts and humans could even make offspring, let alone fall in love with each other.
The planet of Amity was in the age of pirates. These pirates roamed the seas, seeking out boats to scavenge. Some were bloodthirsty, liking the smell of blood and killed anyone who was a threat or stood against them. A little amount of pirates stole from other pirates, giving most of what they scavenged to the poor. They were still dangerous, but only when dealing with pirates. Pirates didn't care what species their crew were, the only thing they cared about was if they were strong.
We will now zoom in on a ship, sailing the high seas. This was no ordinary ship, the fore and main mast supported pitch black sails with white rimming. On the top mast flowed a flag. On the flag was a white ghost with a cross bone background. This was surly a pirate ship. The ship was beautifully made and it was clear to see that it was well maintained. The ship was called the Phantom, carrying a total of forty-one crew mates. It's keel balanced on the glistening clear water, using its rudder to navigate through the waves.
Wind in his hair, the captain of the ship had his hands on the stern, admiring his ship and supervising his crew whilst they did their chores. The captain's name was Danny Fenton, an seventeen year old teenage boy. The crew named him captain because he was the strongest out of all of them since he was rare. Very rare in fact. This adolescent was a hybrid. His father was a ghost and his mother human. He got separated with them at birth after they disappeared into thin air. He always imagined of how his life could have turned out if his parents never vanished. He had tried to look for them but he had now just given up. The halfling didn't have any clues to follow. It was a dead end.
Danny was happy with his life, being a pirate and all. He had a slight thrill every time he stole from pirates. Him and his crew were, as you say, good pirates. They were still hunted by the police for stealing, but the civilians loved them.
The hybrid's pirate crew were called the Phantoms. Composed of forty crew members and the captain. They all respected each other even though there were the two species living together. Next to the black haired captain, was his right hand man and best friend, Tucker. They had been friends for their whole lives, even before becoming pirates. Tucker was a dark skinned seventeen year old boy, who was quite cowardly during battled but helped a lot in the intelligence section. He was the navigator and problem solver. Today Danny noticed that his friend looked more skirmish than usual. Something was bothering him.
"What's up with you today? You've been acting like a scaredy cat all morning." Danny asked Tucker, looking at him with a questioning look.
"Well I've been hearing some rumors being passed on by the crew." Tucker whispered, sounding a bit shaken up.
"You know rumors are usually false." Danny chuckled, he never did believe in rumors.
"No Danny, I think this one is true." Tucker said, trying to convince his friend otherwise.
"Ok Tuck, go ahead and tell me about this 'rumor' that you think is true." Danny replied, finding this conversation amusing.
"Well...A few people are saying that a ghost is haunting the Phantom." Tucker said, leaning closer to Danny to look more dramatic.
Danny couldn't help it and laughed hard.
"Tucker...you do know that half of the crew are ghosts. I thought you were more intelligent than that!" Danny said, sounding a bit sarcastic.
"I know that! But I think we have a ghost or a human on board that is not part of the crew. And if you still don't believe me I have proof! Firstly, the cook keeps on saying that since we left port, food has been mysteriously vanishing. Secondly, during the night, I can hear footsteps coming from the storage area beneath the deck. And you and I know nobody goes in the storage area at night. It's restricted, well except for you because you're the captain and all." Danny cut him off before his friend could start mumbling even more.
"Fine, fine I get the point. Tonight, we're going to the storage to see if this 'rumor' of yours is true." This time he let Tucker win. Tucker could be right or just paranoid. Well tonight he was going to find out.
"WAIT! Why did you say 'we'?" Tucker whined, thinking that Danny would go by himself and he would be able to stay in his quarters, sleeping in his comfy bed."
"Oh come on Tuck! Don't tell me your scared?" Danny joked. Subconsciously, he was scared himself and didn't want to be alone, but he would never say that to his friend. It would make him sound weak.
That night...
At midnight, when everyone was sleeping, the best friends went down to the lowest level of the ship quietly. They tried not to wake anybody because waking a pirate was not a good thing to do, even if Danny was the captain.
They went down the creaking wooden stairs until they had finally arrived at the base of the ship. The cargo area. It contained many wooden crates of many different sizes. If not for the candles they brought with them, they would have not been able to see the back of their hand.
"Ok, now that we are here, all we can do is wait." Danny said, sitting behind one of the many big crates, with Tucker following him.
"I hope something happens soon or I will never get a wink of sleep tonight." Danny thought, already feeling sleepy. At least he had Tucker to keep him company.
As the seconds turned into minutes and as minutes tuned into two hours, the two friends couldn't stop their own eyes from closing. Just as Danny was going into a deep sleep, laying his head on Tucker's shoulder, he heard a noise, then footsteps. His eyes opened wide, trying to pin point where the footsteps were coming from. The candle had been blown out and he didn't have time to light it again. The halfling decided to go ghost, then he would be able to see in the dark. He stood up.
"GOING GHOST!" He whispered, not wanting anyone to hear him. Two bluish white rings flashes across his body, changing his appearance a lot. His usual black hair changed into white and he was now wearing a nylon black and white jumpsuit. His eyes changed into green when before they were blue. It was hard to recognize him.
The ghost boy looked around him once more and immediately saw a blur walking slowly towards the staircase, trying its best not to make to much noise. Danny used his fast ghost reflexes to his advantage. He flew strait towards the person and tackled it to the floor. He felt a punch stinging his left cheek.
"How did this person hit me? I am in ghost form." Danny was surprised, he didn't see the punch coming so he concluded that he just didn't have time to phase.
Still squirming on the ground, Tucker came running, breathing heavily since he didn't get a lot of exercise.
"Tucker! Turn on the lights!" Danny shouted.
"Geeze! This guy is quite strong. But still not strong enough to beat me!" Danny thought.
Tucker ran to wall with matches in hand. Since electricity didn't exist in this world, the ship was equipped with a sort of lighting machine. It used ghost energy and it worked like a charm (It works the same way as light bulbs). Tucker felt the wall and found the switch he was looking for. He flipped it, making the cargo bay light up.
When the light flashed on, Danny was awe struck. Underneath him was not a guy, it was a black haired girl.
"It was a girl?" Danny was shocked.
Tucker was right, they had a stowaway on his ship.
But who was this strong but beautiful girl?
Somewhere unknown with person unknown(for now)...
A man sat in his chair, whiskey and cigar in hand. Looking out onto the deck and watching his pirate flag flowing in the night cold wind. He was on a ship. He had an devilish grin and frighting cold eyes. That man could give you piercing stare if he wanted to. Making smoke come out of his nostrils, he chuckled evilly. And said to himself, looking out unto the ocean, with a voice that could make your heart stop;
" I will soon find you. And this time you will never escape my grasp again...foolish girl."
CLIFFHANGER!
If you want to know what happens next...you will have to wait!
HAHAHAHAHA!
