:DD I'm back! Well I was always here but you get the point. Anyway here's an idea I had a few months ago but never had the time to write it. I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 1: Returning
The ghost smirked. He would return and get his revenge on his town, his little friend, and especially him. He summoned his children, who popped out of the ground immediately. They surrounded him ready for a command.
"Begin the attack," He whispered and they shrunk down, heading towards the metal portal.
His plan was going into action. His children would make the planet become a little playground while he got the upper hand, controlling the boy's little friend. Then the boy will suffer what he had done to his previous children.
"You'll pay ghost child. You'll PAY!"
"Danny! You're going to be late for school...AGAIN," Jazz's voice rang out in his room.
The black haired boy moaned and covered his head with his pillow. Jazz noticed this action and pulled off his dark covers. The boy whimpered and Jazz just patted his head repeatedly.
After a couple more taps, Danny smacked his sister's hand, commanding her to stop. She smiled and threw the blanket on the floor and left, the door wide in her place.
Enjoying a few more seconds of sleep, Danny picked himself up from his bed and dragged himself towards his dresser. He picked a clean shirt and a new pair of jeans. He continued to the bathroom, stripping himself and turning on the water for a quick shower.
Danny had no energy to do anything. He wanted to tell his mom that he wanted to stay home, but she would raise an eyebrow and look more into it. He sighed and jumped out putting on fresh boxers and his clothes. He ran a comb through his hair, since it was soaking wet, and grabbed his backpack.
He rocketed down the stairs, took a piece of toast from the counter and yelled a goodbye to his parents.
Danny ran towards an ally and turned into Danny Phantom, Amity Park's ghost hero. He slapped himself remembering to meet up with Sam at her house. He shot through the sky towards Sam's large mansion and stopped a couple yards, turning back to human. He sped to her house, Sam tapping her foot impatiently.
She glanced at Danny and frowned, "Where have you been? I've been waiting for like 10 minutes. You said you were coming early."
He nodded at her, panting on his knees. She giggled and patted his matted hair. He looked up and smiled. After regaining his breath, he stood up and started to walk towards school.
Sam caught up with him, but none spoke of anything.
Sam started at Danny's face, which was emotionless. No acne, no freckles and no wrinkles. His skin was flawless. His eyes sparkled and his hair was falling between his eyes. It was perfect. She wanted to go out with him but she kept thinking it would ruin their relationship. She wanted them to remain best friends but she hated when she stared at him to long that he would notice and ask what was wrong.
While Sam was daydreaming of Danny, he was thinking of the ghost attacks lately. There've been alot of attacks but it was always plants. He assumed it was Undergrowth but he hadn't seen his face in a while. He didn't know what was happening, but he kept trying to piece everything together, but came up short every time.
They arrived at the school shortly and turned to see their techy friend, meddling with a device in his palms.
Tucker smiled at them and waved them over, "Hey guys. Took you long enough."
Danny stiffled a gag while Sam rolled her eyes.
"Clueless over here, came late..again," She said, crossing her arms.
Danny stuck his hands in his pockets and shrugged, "Ghost attacks. They're plants everytime. I'm getting real tired of them."
"Hopefully they stop today," Tucker said smiling proudly.
The bell rang and the students marched inside. The trio separated towards their lockers and waved a goodbye. Danny walked to his locker and pulled out a green textbook. He placed it in his armpit and closed the locker door. He found his way to Mr. Lancer's math class and sat down at his seat.
He hated not having first period with him since it was always moody in here.
Danny wished for the period to pass or a ghost to attack but it seemed like the plants were actually stopping the attacks.
He sighed and pulled out his notebook. At least he was studyinga instead of ghost fighting. He wouldn't get in trouble...
He felt the cold sensation in his mouth escape quietly. Sighing, he raised his hand excusing himself to the bathroom. He walked out and shook his head. ...for now.
Suddenly a scream echoed the hallway and he turned towards the sound of it. Students were bursting out of a classroom, handing waving randomly in the air. He couldnt decide to either go into the empty classroom or run with the group where they were headed. He chose to follow the students out but soon roots shot of the ground trapping everyone.
He bit his lip when the roots traveled up his leg and tightened their grip on him. They dug into skin and magically phased him back into the classroom.
The roots soon covered his entire body, including his face. The roots left little slits front of his face allowing him to see.
His eyes widened when he saw Sam, Tucker, Dash, Kwan, Paulina, Star, Valerie and a couple other students blinded to the wall by plants.
They struggled and screamed but nothing helped them from escaping. He sighed and decided not to move since he felt thorns pierce his skin and tiny amounts of blood ooze out from them.
Sam noticed Danny from his black hair poking out of the plants and his red shoes. She could make out some blue eyes in the plants, too. She smiled knowing her best friend was safe.
She could see everyone struggling from the plants but her and Danny. Tucker was freaking out and screaming out things about not eating plants or killing them. She didn't struggle since for some reason the plants grabbed her gently and didn't plan on squeezing the life out of her.
Sam focused her sight back to Danny, who was now just laying still. She panicked, thinking that the plants were killing him until he blinked.
"Hello flesh dwellers. I see your making fine food for the children," A plant popped out of the ground full of stems and soon formed into a mini Undergrowth, allowing him to fit in the room. He eyed her and she looked away, "Looks like everything's going according to plan. The ghost boy isn't fighting back and I have my queen."
"I'm not your queen you monster!" She spat at the plant creature.
He smiled, not offended by her comment, "You better be or I think your friend has a couple things to say."
Undergrowth's fist tightened and Sam turned to see the plants squeeze Danny. He yelled for help but his screams became louder by the second. Blood was pouring through the roots onto the floor.
Sam gasped and yelled a stop. Undergrowth relaxed his fist and Danny's screams turned into pants. Tears were pouring down her face seeing Danny's form relax but blood continuing to seep out between the cracks of the plants.
"So...what shall it be?" Undergrowth's voice entered into her thoughts.
She nodded, "I'll be your stupid queen."
He smirked, "Excellent."
He looked at Danny and waved in front of his form. The plants retreated and released their grip on the boy. He fell down with a thud, twitching from the pain. He automatically grabbed his knee and formed a ball, trying to relax.
She could see blood stains on his shirt and pants that were very noticeable from her distance. His chest was raising up and down quickly, not giving sighs of stopping.
She saw widen eyes at Danny and her from the teens in the room. She looked away towards Undergrowth.
"What now? You going to control me like last time?"
Undergrowth's smile just widened, "Precisely. But not right now. I need to expand my...land. Then I'll have the power for this precious city and then the earth. Nobody can stop me. Not even your little friend," He eyed the bleeding boy, lying on the floor.
Sam bit her lip and nodded, "Do whatever you want. But you better not lay a hand on him!"
He only nodded at her words. He snapped his fingers and the roof of the classroom suddenly was ripped off. The plants that held the students followed Undergrowth to the top of the school.
Sam gasped at her view of the town. Everything was worse. Plants covered almost every building, and she could see people screaming and hiding in their homes or in their cars. There were fully grown trees in the middle of the roads, and some building were being crumbled by vines.
She gasped. Everyone else did the same. They were stunned by what their sight was showing them.
"See your town? It's mine now. Mine! But I can't do it on my own. Now to put the queen in her place," Undergrowth shouted and flicked his wrist, summoning a mind vine.
Sam started to struggle but then she heard a shout behind her. She couldn't turn but she recognized the voice to be Danny.
"Get away from her!" He ran up to Undergrowth and blasted him with a ghost ray. He was soon in Sam's way and she smiled, seeing him hold up a ecto weapon.
Undergrowth stood up and laughed loudly. Danny just frowned and held up the weapon. He was shaking slightly but the blood on his body was healing.
"It seems like the boy needs a lesson," Undergrowth said. Roots came and surrounded Danny, attempting to grab him, but he just blasted them down.
The plant ghost growled. More plants popped out of the ground but he continued to shoot them. After a while, the plants grip on the students vanished and they were released. They stayed put since they didn't have anywhere to go and watched the battle taking place.
"I've had enough of this. Let my queen destroy you," He screeched. The plants surrounding him thrusted forward towards Sam.
Danny only had a moment to react. He didn't want to hurt Sam like last time...well he didn't really hurt her but controlled Sam never hesitated to hurt him. He didn't want to go threw it again.
He jumped out and came between the plants and his best friend. He wasn't sure what was going to happen. Was he afraid? Totally. But he covered it up with bravery. He would do anything to protect his friends...like Sam.
He felt the plants surround him and then his world went blank...
Sam stood still, watching time play slowly. At the last second, Undergrowth's plants went straight forward to her and her hurt best friend jumped in the way. His face was firm, as if he didn't want anything to touch her. The plants surrounded him and she heard a yell. She closed her eyes and didn't dare open them.
Not until Tucker gasped and started to scream. She opened one eye and bit her lip from crying out.
Danny was grinning. Not just a normal grin, a grin that said 'You're all going to die'. His eyes were fully dark green, showing no signs of baby blue. He walked up to her and placed a hand on her chin. She was forced to look into those emotionless dark eyes. She was scared out of her wits. She knew this Danny wouldn't hesitate to kill her.
"You will a fine meal for the children," He whispered. Sam was scared from his tone and was soon trying to struggle from his deathly grip but he kept his hand firmly on her face.
Undergrowth appeared behind Danny and chuckled, "It seems that this human is more helpful than you were. He was a threat but now he seems more...tamed. He'll make a fine caretaker."
Danny smiled wider and nodded, "You'll be dead soon human."
A flash of light pushed me back forward. In Danny's place was his ghost self. I heard gasps and yells but I cried. Danny's eyes were the same as his human half but his glowing body wasn't white...it was green.
Why couldn't I be controlled? Not Danny. He didn't need this. Not at all. It was going to be harder to defeat Undergrowth now. Danny was the only one that had freezing powers. Without them we had no chance. Our last hope was gone.
"Let's go Daniel. We need to...prepare for the arrival of the children," Undergrowth said. Danny only nodded and followed him down the side of the school, heading towards the park.
Sam watched him leave and ran to Tucker, sobbing loudly in his arms.
"We're going to die. Danny's gone. We're going to die," Sam repeated. He just sighed and patted her hair down. He rubbed her hair, silencing the cries of pain.
"Fenton is Phantom?" Dash's voice rang out in the sky.
Sam didn't answer but Tucker felt her wanting to, "Yeah. Lab accident. We need to get help. There's no way we can defeat Undergrowth, Danny included. He beat him last time with his ice powers but right now we can't do that without Danny."
Nobody answered Tucker's statement. Paulina's mouth was shut and Valerie was cupping her mouth in an attempt not to scream. Dash was baffled by the geek's answer and stared out at the damage the town was in now.
Sam soon got a hold of herself and pushed Tucker away. She walked up towards the students and looked away, "We need to go to Fenton Works. There has to be a couple of weapons we could use. And we need to access the Ghost Zone. Only the Far Frozen can help us. Who's with us?"
She didn't hear anything at first but them a clap rang out. More claps joined until everyone was smiling and cheering.
She nodded and smiled, "Let's save Danny!"
Not sure when I'll update, since I already have alot of pre-written stories saved. I'll think about it if I get enough reviews. Anyways UPDATE!
