Hello fellow Danny Phantom lovers! Or, it could be someone who has just read my other story, OR someone who is thinking 'great, now she started another fic, and the other will NEVER get updated!!!' IF you chose the latter, I will keep up with my other fic, but I just loooove Danny Phantom. -shifty eyes- But since this is the second fic, it might be a little better. I have learned, the people want FLUFF, NOT humor. I suck at fluff. So there will probably be none of that. SORREE. Seriously, Im really excited about this fic. Its gonna get kinda dark later on, and Im hoping to make it fairly long. AND ITS NOT AN X-OVER!! YAY. Anyway, Im in elementary school (grade 7) so if this seem a little non-high school, that is why. Im trying.
Disclamer : I DO NOT own Danny Phantom. Butch Hartman does. Lucky guy. Dun sue meh.
Death Games
Chapter 1
"Danny, give it up."
"Why?"
San sighed and leaned agaisnt the lockers that lined the halls of Casper High. "Cause hiding in lockers gets you no where."
"How do you know?" Came the reply.
"I've tried. Come on, Im going to gym"
It was Danny's turn to sigh. "Fine, I'll come. But-
"What?" Sam snapped.
"Let me finish. Im not goin visible till' we find out whats going on in gym."
"Ohhh... Big baby." Sam applied the sarcasim.
"FINE. You win." Danny phased through the locker. Fully visible.
"What can I say. It's my-"
"-Non-existint."
"Ignoring that. Its my girlish charm."
Danny scoffed and the two set off for the gym.
"Dodgeball."
"Dodgeball..."
"Yes, Danny. Dodgeball. Very good! Want a gold star?"
"I hate dodgeball."
"Well, I suggest you get over it." Sam said before walking in the doors. Danny followed, sighing.
Once inside, Danny froze. All the jocks in the school had to be there. About thirty, mabey more. Dash, of course, being one.
"Hey, Fenton, eat rubber!" Dash shouted before throwing the ball in Dannys general direction. It missed, and hit another jock squarley in the groin. He fell to the ground in the fetal position.
This caused an all out war of dodgeball. In Casper High, the usual gym period wasn't really competitive. The popular and the jocks were the ones to come out on top. They formed alliances and creamed the kids that they set in the 'other' catagorey. Danny, Sam and Tucker just happened to fall in that categorey, but most of all Danny.
A few minutes in, Sam tried to find her friend through the jock war, and spotted him on the other side if the gym. They made eye contact and went to the not so secret hiding spot. Behind the curtain that separated the gym when two different things would be going on. Sam reached the curtain first, mostly because Danny's pants had fallen down again and made him a big target that said 'Hit me! Im down! Hit me!' He eventually made it to the curtain, and when no one was looking, slipped behind it.
"Try not to make your feet show." Sam instructed.
"On it." Danny went invisible and grabbed Sam's arm, causing her to also vanish from sight.
"This works too..." She smiled.
When the period had ended, the two had snuck out of the gym, staying invisible. Danny had to hold his breath at the sight of Dash laying on the floor in the fetal position. Apparently the other kid had gotted him back for earlier.
"What do we have next?"
"Lancer." Was all Danny would say. He narrowed his eyes.
"That really say alot Danny."
"Ok." He began very slowly, as if talking to a three year old. "Lancer teaches anything thats boring. What do you think is the most boring?"
"Shut up."
"Where's Tucker?" Danny changed the subject.
"Why?" Sam asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I was gonna ask if you two wanted to come over tonight. My parents are out on a phoney ghost hunt again."
"Where?"
Danny sighed. "The old run down hospital on the north side of town."
"You mean the one with all the boarded up windows?"
"Yea. Mabey it'll take em' ahwile. Or they could lose all the ghost hunting stuff. That wouldn't be bad at all.."
"HEY FENTON!"
"Oh crap."
"Im gonna get you back for in gym, you little weasel!" Dash yelled, running down the hallway with what seemed to be a towel. He pushed a few kids out of the way, and reached Danny within seconds. He did indeed have a towel, a wet towel, all twisted up like a whip. The halfa turned to run, but screamed like a girl when the towel came down hard on his back. He ran far enough to get around a corner and phase through the wall. Dash came charging around the corner like a bull in a china cabinet.
"GET BACK HERE FENTON!" He screamed to Mr.Lancer's face.
"Daniel again, hmmm Dash?"
Dash's face drained of all color.
Sam had found Tucker in the croud of people heading for class and the two were looking around for Danny.
"Guys," His voice came from inside the lockers. "Is the coast clear?"
"Uh, yea." Tucker said.
Danny phased through the lockers and brushed the dust off his pants. "Stupid Dash. He missed me in the gym. I didn't have to move."
"Mabey you could ask your sister to councel him and touter him at the same time." Sam suggested.
"Naw. He's beyond all possible saving."
Tucker's day planner beeped, suggesting they head to class.
"Today, we will be starting a net unit." Lancer droned. "Poetry of the ancient Japanese. It will be required that you use you dictionarys to translate..."
Sam was writing in her binder what appeared to be notes. Tucker was playing a gameboy and Danny was half sleeping.
"One of the most known Japanese poetry artists..."
Danny would have been sleeping if his ghost-sense hadn't gone off. The white/blue vapor escaped his lips and he shivered. He jerked his head up and looked over at Sam and Tucker. Neither had seen. 'Great... now what do I do? Mr.Lancer would notice if I slipped out. Why did I sit so close to the front. Brainfart.'
He decided to play it cool until anything happened. Mabey it was just the Box-Ghost going after the giant meat boxes in the cafeteria again. After about ten minuts or so more of Lancer's droning, Danny relaxed. Nothing was out of the ordinary. Dash was throwing the paper balls at the back of his head again, and Tucker had gotten the gameboy taken away. Yup, nothing wierd. Sam shot Danny a look and he caught it, he then looked to where she motioned. A strange glow was coming from just behind Mr.Lancer. It was very faint, but it was there, with a red tint. Danny shivered as the blueish vapor formed again. 'I gotta get outta class. Somethin's going on...' Danny got up and asked to be excused, that he wasn't feeling good. No luck. He sat back down a wondered if it would be smart to just leave the class. Nope. His parents would be informed. He figured that if worse came to worst, Sam and Tucker would cover him so he could deal with it.
The glow seemed to flicker every so often. Danny began to wonder if it was even there. His theroy was tested when the glow seemed to engulf Mr.Lancer then dissapear. No one else but Sam was watching the glow, so only him and Sam knew.
After class, the trio waited for all the students to leave. Danny explained to Tucker what had been going on in class.
"So, your saying that Lancer is possesed? When did he quit."
"Tucker!" Sam and Danny yelled at the same time. "This is serious!"
"Sorry, sorry." He pushed them both back a bit. "So, what are we gonna do?"
"Go find Lancer." Danny said in the 'duh' tone.
"And how are we gonna do that?" Sam asked.
"How we always find people... Is there a better way?"
"Danny. He's been possesed by something. He could be dangerous."
"Oh."
Sam sighed. "Of all people, you should have been the first to think of that."
"Yea, I guess."
They stood there for a minute, both Sam and Tucker looking at Danny expectantly. He finally caught on and went ghost. He grabbed both of them by the arm and went intagible. They made conversation ( Meat and Veggie debate) as he phased through wall after wall, trying to find Lancer.
In the seventh room, they found him, Sam and Tucker shut up (Meat! Smack). Sitting in the teachers lounge correcting papers. Danny then made the three invisible, so they could just see if Lancer was mabey OK. Tucker started to complain about his feet hurting, by trying to sit down and almost making Danny lose grasp of his arm. They made their way over to a couch and sat down very quitely. Lancer was directly across from them. A couple of times the teacher looked around as if sensing something else was there.
"I know you are there, ghost child." He said in a voice unlike his own. It was femine.
All three caught their breath.
"Fine then, don't come out. If you wont, I will." The red glow engulfed Lancer again and left. It floated above his head. He looked shocked, like he had just woken up.
"I have been sent on behalf of my master." The glow continued.
"Whos that?!" Lancer demaned, jumping up.
"Quiet." It demanded. In a sudden flash, Lancer appeared to be paralized on the couch, and the glow now had a body, floating above Lancer. It was a she. She had long black hair with yellow streaks that floated about her like she was immersed in invisible water, amber eyes, and a simple non-frilly wedding gown and white gloves on for clothing. She glowed red.
"I will not harm you, young halfa. I have been sent to warn you about one who seeks power like your own."
Danny let the invistbility shield slip off. He released Tucker and Sam and floated up to face the nameless ghost. "Who are you talking about?"
"He wishes to keep his name unknown until a future meeting."
"What does he want with me though?"
"He has envied you the day that he heard."
Danny raised an eyebrow. "Heard what?"
"About you becoming a halfa."
"So... he's gonna be coming here, or what? You said you were warning me of him."
She closed her eyes and bowed her head. "Yes. He is very jealous."
"Of what? I'd trade him lives anyday."
"That is relevant. He has said that you must come to see him, or he will send more of us."
"'Us'?"
"The ghosts he has enslaved. He will be enraged if you do not show, I can garutee that."
"But still, how do I meet 'him'?"
"He is very well known in the Ghost Zone. Im sure if you went there..."
Danny shivered at the thought of going back there.
"Um..." Lancer piped up. "What is going on?"
Everyone looked at him. Sam almost fainted. She thought he had passed out.
"Uh... Mr.Lancer..." Danny began. "Can it wait...? Just till' Im... done here...?"
"Alright..."
The girl looked back at Danny with sad eyes. "I suppose I am done here. Is there anything else you may wish to ask of me?"
"Uh, yea! Lots. Don't leave yet."
"Ask what you wish." She bowed her head again.
"Uh... just let me get this straight. This guy, your 'master', he want's to see me for my powers?"
"Correct."
"And just what will he do if I don't come."
"He did not say. His temper is horrible..."
Danny gulped. "So, if I go to the Ghost Zone, how is anyone gonna know what Im talking about if I don't know his name?"
She raised her head and smiled. "I believe you have a point. He goes by the name of Rayoneth."
"Rayoneth?"
"Yes. I have said to much. I am very sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is my job."
"Why can't you just run?"
"If I run, where will I go? Everyone in the Ghost Zone knows who he is, and I believe exorcists and other people do indeed exict. I do not with to cause trouble." She bowed. "I give you my word." Then vanished.
"Daniel Fenton! I believe an explantaion is due..." Lancer said before getting up.
