Danny Phantom
Road to Ghost Hell (Also Known As "Danny Phantom's Totally Awesome and Yet Strangely Queer Crossover Special")
Episode Summary: Now that Danny Fenton's secret is out, it's time for him to reveal one more truth to his family: his cousin/clone Danielle. Once revealed, Jack and Maddie insist she stay with them. But the little heroin continues to be haunted by the memory of being tortured by Vlad, and by a past memory of a failed heroic event, and the stress she's putting on herself is literally killing her. And moving out of Amity Park for a while doesn't make it any better, especially when they find out their new neighbors are none other than…well, you'll just have to read and find out. But I can tell you there will be chaos, anger, frustration, stress, and even a life at risk as 'Danny Phantom' makes its comeback!
A/N: I've decided to take a break from my PPG/FG crossover fanfics to focus on this one. I think it's a really good idea, and it gave me inspiration for my upcoming fanfic series "Family Guy: On the Road" where the Griffins will take a cross-country road trip to all of the most famous TV shows, such as 'Full House', 'George Lopez', 'Home Improvement', and even cartoons, 'Ed, Edd, n Eddy', 'My Life as a Teenage Robot' and 'The Powerpuff Girls'. Stay tuned for future information on that.
A/N: For those of you who are planning to watch the 10 year special of 'The Powerpuff Girls', do whatever the hell you can to AVOID IT! I SAW IT ONLINE, AND FOR THE RECORD, well...I won't say it sucked because there are people out there who did like. So, I'll just say that I didn't like it very much at all, and in my eyes, it did suck.
Enjoy!
TV-PG-DLV (This story is rated for some excessive violence, and a bit of inappropriate profanity)
Prologue
It was a quiet and peaceful night in the town of Amity Park. Everyone else in the city has fallen asleep cozy in their beds. All, except for one though. The town superhero Danny Phantom is fighting his ghost enemy Skulker, an evil ghost hunter whose prime goal is to capture Danny for his collection.
It was about 10 pm, and while everyone else was asleep, Danny was fighting. Ecto-blast after Ecto-blast, but Skulker this time came prepared. He was much craftier than before, dodging all of Danny's attacks. So Danny decided to resort to brute force, and tackle him head on. He grabbed his shoulder blades, and shoved them down 200 ft to the ground, rippling the pavement with him. Then he threw a fierce sucker punch to his face, and held out the Fenton Thermos, catching Skulker inside.
"Nice try, Skulker. But you just can't win against me!" Danny called as Skulker was sucked into the thermos. "Phew! I think that's the last of them for tonight." Danny checked his radar which his dad, Jack, built for him to avoid using his ghost sense so often. At the moment, everything was clear.
But Danny didn't want to take any chances. So he searched the city for a little while.
"Right, cause the last time I forgot to do a city-wide search, I ended up the headlines."
(Cue Cutaway)
We cut to Danny Fenton on the sofa, watching the TV, more notably the news.
"We interrupt this program for Breaking News." The news reporter said. "Seven citizens were found murdered in the Nasty Burger restaurant. Citizens are outraged, asking 'Why didn't Danny Phantom' show up to the crime scene?' but the truth was, Jack had accidentally blown up the fuses in the house, so none of the crime alarms in the house went off. And since it wasn't a ghost attack, his ghost sense didn't go off.
(End Cutaway)
Danny searched for a long while, and during that time, he found absolutely nothing dangerous. But, just as he was about to turn around and go home, his radar began beeping. It was a weak beep, but it was a beep. He followed the beat to the location.
He was especially stunned to see that it was coming from a very dark alley, with smelly black cats and boxes lying all over the place. But what really stunned him the most was who the beep was coming from.
He flew up to the shivering, cold, and weak figure, and nudged it slightly. "Danielle?" He whispered. Danny cleared the stuff surrounding the figure, and it was revealed to be indeed Danny's clone/cousin Danielle Phantom, created by possibly deceased Vlad Masters. She wasn't moving, but she was breathing. It was shallow breathing. "Danielle, wake up." He said again, this time a bit louder. This time, she did not hesitate to respond, only it wasn't what he expected.
Immediately, she jumped out and started swinging her arms around like a crazy maniac. She didn't stop for another few seconds. But she stopped once her vision cleared up and she saw it was only Danny standing there.
"Oh, Danny. It's…it's just you. It's just you." Danielle sighed in relief, then stood up and stretched her arms out as she yawned. She had clearly visible bags under her eyes, indicating sleep deprivation. "Sorry about that. I just haven't been myself lately."
"Danielle, what the hell happened to you?" He asked. "The last time I saw you, you were stabilized and just fine, flying off dramatically...again."
"Yeah, and that lasted for, like a few hours. One night, I was free to do whatever I want, and the next, I wake up with my muscles completely shot. I could barely move at all."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I wouldn't melt into goop or anything, but some days I'd wake up and fell totally wiped out. In fact, ever since you stabilized me, I've been stuck in my ghost form. Danny, I'm weak as all heck right now. Plus, I've kind of been getting nightmares."
"Nightmares?"
"Yeah. It's like, I know that Vlad's gone for good, but I can't help but think he could come back and attack me at any time. "
"Dani, you have nothing to worry about. Vlad stayed up there in space once he revealed his secret, so I doubt he's coming back."
"Yeah, but there's always that one hint of doubt, I guess. I haven't had a peaceful night's sleep in over a week. I'm sweaty, cold, tired; my heart's beating like a jack-hammer. I don't know whether that stabilizer stuff was tampered with or not, but I think it brought some side effects with it. Plus, there was this one time…"
"What?"
"Well, there was this one time…"
(Cue Flashback)
The skies were pitch black, and while everyone decent was asleep, there were few people that were. Two, for instance, were a 30-year old burglar/virgin holding a 6-year old boy that is being dangled over the rooftop screaming for his life.
"Scream all you want, you little maggot! Not even the city's bitch can save you now!" He snarled as the boy screamed louder. The fear was literally heard all across the town, but the burglar didn't care. All he wanted was the boy dead…and not to run into the ghost boy, Danny.
Danielle, however, had other plans. She snuck up to him, while invisible, and gave him a nice sucker punch right in his spine. He shouted in pain, but still did not let go of the child. Danielle revealed herself to the burglar.
"Put him down, now!" She yelled to him. "You do NOT want to get me upset!"
"Oh, really? And just what are you going to do about it??" He snickered.
"This!" She held up both hands, which began glowing green and shot powerful Ecto-blasts at him. But, they were so strong they accidentally knocked him over the side of the building, with the boy still in his grasp. The burglar let go of the boy, and the two of them fell down 12 stories. Since the burglar was still in her sight, so she fired up another ghost ray, and shot it out of her hand towards him. But he spinned out the way in time and instead, the blst hit the boy and blasted him faster towards the ground. Danielle gasped, and tried to fly down and save him. But she did not make it in time, and he hit hard. She couldn't help but float there in horror at she saw the boy twitch while unconscious on the ground. She was too horrified and scared to pick him up and get him to a hospital. But luckily, an ambulance had come just minutes later to get the boy and the cops came to arrest the burglar. Danielle was still in shock.
"Miss, are you alright?" A policeman asked Danielle. Luckily, she was famous for her heroics in that tow. But, she feared because of her lack of action, she would be shunned. So immediately, she fled the scene, not wanting to be shunned by the town.
(End Flashback)
"Whoa, that's major. Was he okay?"
"Was he OK? He fell off a 12-story building and hit his head on cement! No, he wasn't okay! He lived, if that's what you mean. But he's in a wheelchair for the rest of his life and it's because of me! And ever since that day, I've been afraid to use my powers in fear that I'll cost another innocent life. What should I do?"
Danny put his hand on Danielle's forehead, and then took it away in an instant. "Whoa! Danielle, you're burning up."
"I am?" She put her own hand on her forehead. "Wow, I really am. I haven't been full strength lately."
"Well one thing's for sure. There's no way in hell I'm letting you stay out here in the streets."
"But where am I supposed to go?"
"You can come home with me."
"Really? But, I thought your parents didn't know about your secret?"
"Well, now they do, and so does the rest of the world. It's a long story, and I'll explain on the way home." He picked up the weakened girl, and carried her in his arms as he took flight towards Fenton Works.
Along the way, Danielle had fallen asleep after Danny finished telling her the story about how his secret was revealed, and how Vlad could possibly be dead.
When they finally arrived home, Danny awakened her and readied her to meet her quote-unquote "Parents".
"Danielle, wake up. It's time to go in." He whispered as she slowly opened her eyes.
He turned himself intangible and went inside to find his parents, Jack and Maddie Fenton, and sister, Jazz, all in the living room. Jack was working on a new ghost invention, while Maddie and Jazz were watching TV.
"Danny!" Jack yelled as soon as Danny reverted from intangibility. "How was your night of ghost fighting? Catch anything?"
"Nah, it was a slow night. Just one ghost. Unless you count…" He walked over to the couch and laid Danielle down, who was about to fall asleep again. "…this one."
Jazz, Maddie, and Jack couldn't help but stare in astonishment at the little girl. She looked a lot like Danny, more than they could ever know. "Um, Danny?" Maddie soon said. "Who's your little friend?"
"Um, yeah. I've been meaning to tell you that. But to help me pass the time for our audience members who've already seen the series, here is a clip of a fat person falling down some stairs."
(Cue Cutaway)
We cut to a really fat person just walking along the hallway of the World Trade Center. But, when he gets to the staircase, he steps the wrong way and starts falling down the hundreds of flights of stairs, screaming.
"AHHH!" He screamed as he fell, fell, fell. "OH MY GOD! OH MY-AHH! SAVE ME!! AHHH!"
He fell like that for what seemed like forever. One Hundred and Five flights of stairs over a full hour. When he finally got to the bottom of the stairs, he wrapped his arms around his left knee, and groaned several times before help finally came. Unfortunately, the 'help' simply kicked him in his lower groin and then fled the scene.
"Come on, come on. Let's get the hell outta here before he gets up!" One of the policemen said as the other one was trying to start the car.
(End Cutaway)
"And that's how it all happened." Danny finally concluded. By the end of the bloopers clip, Danny had already explained to his family about how Vlad came to create his clone/cousin/sister, Danielle, and how she's finally been stabilized, but how something might've gone wrong with the Ecto-Dejecto that Danny used, since she is unable to change back to human form.
"Wow, I knew that guy was a fruitloop these last few years, but this takes the cake." Jack said after a brief silence. He looked at the haggard Danielle, seeing as she was sweating, tired, and if you were to listen carefully enough, you could hear her pounding heart going and going as her struggle to breath rose.
"Oh this isn't even the beginning. But more on that later. Right now, I think we should focus on Danielle. We should take her to a doctor to see why she can't change back." He took a quick look at Danielle, who was now breathing more heavily, taking quicker breaths, and sweating up a storm. "But first, we should probably put her to bed." Danny picked up the sleeping girl, and carried her up the stairs and put her in his bed. Then he walked out and shut the door, letting the halfa drift off into a dreamless sleep.
Unfortunately, that didn't last long. Not even an hour later, after everyone had gone to sleep for the night, Danielle began to toss and turn in the bed, obviously striken with a nightmare.
(Cue Dream Sequence)
Space, nothing but space surrounded her. There was blackness, blackness all around. Danielle had no idea where she was or how she got there, or for that matter, whether it was a dream or not. She was floating in the air, and tried to find a way out. But everything was just darkness.
"Hello...!" Her voice echoed through the infinite nothingness. "Is anyone out there...?" She yelled again. No response. So she turned around and tried to run, but as soon as she did, she saw a huge face that belonged to a 6-year old boy. Specifically, the 6-year old boy that fell to his doom because Danielle couldn't save him in time. As soon as she saw his face, she screamed her head off. "AAAAHHHHHH...!"
(End Dream Sequence)
"AAHHHH...!" She immediately woke up and screamed after that horrific dream of hers. She sat up and took a look around the room to see where she was, and she was happy inside to see she was still in Danny's room. She continued, though, to pant and rave harder. Taking short, quick breaths and her heart pounding harder and faster, she stood up and decided to travel downstairs and get a glass of water. Her eyesight was very blurry, so she had trouble making her way to the fridge. But when she did, she grabbed a small cup, poured herself a nice, cold glass of water, and proceeded to the table to drink a little bit.
Her arms were trembling so she couldn't pour a decent glass of water. She spilled some onto the table. So finally, she gave up after a few tries, and put her head down on the table for a few minutes of shut eye.
Though the rest of that night, she was tormented by that same nightmare, over and over again.
This went on until the very next morning. Early on, about 7 am, Danny had woken up to see if breakfast was ready yet. Instead, he found an ungracefully sleeping Danielle by the table. The pitcher of water still in her left hand, the half-full glass in her right hand, and water spilled all over the table. Danny walked over and shock her lightly to try and wake her up.
"Danielle? Wake up." He whispered, shaking her a bit. "It's time to wake up. Danielle?"
The halfa slowly lifted her head up, groaning. She opened her tired, weary, and bloodshot eyes, seeing her cousin/brother standing there trying to wake her up. "D-Da-Danny?"
"Danielle, what happened? I thought you were in bed?"
"I was, but I had a nightmare..."
"About that boy?"
"Yeah. So I woke up, and decided to take some water up with me. But I couldn't focus so I put my head down for a minute to rest, but then I had that same nightmare, over and over again, a half dozen times last night. I don't know if I got a wink of sleep at all."
"Wow, really?"
"Yeah. And it's like, every time I'd wake up, my heart would race, I'd sweat up a storm, my hands would tremble...Danny I don't know what to do."
"Well, come on, you should get up to bed. Come on, I'll help you." Danny helped his halfa cousin out of the chair, and helped her back upstairs, into the guest room in the opt-center. He put her in a nice, fresh pair of pajamas, and helped her into bed, then went downstairs, and came up a few moments later with a glass of water, and put it on her nightstand, and then went back downstairs, only to meet up with Jack on the staircase.
"Danny, everything OK?"
"Yeah, Danielle came down for a glass of water, but fell asleep, so I put her back to bed. She's in the guest room of the opt-center. Try not to disturb her today. She had a very bad night last night."
"Well do, Danny. But you know, we really should schedule a doctor's appointment for her. I don't like what's been happening with her lately."
"Yeah, you're probably right. But let's go to a real doctor this time, alright? Remember Jazz's last doctor's appointment?"
(Cue Cutaway)
We cut to Jazz Fenton sitting on a patient's bench with the doctor ready to give her her physical exam.
"Alright, Ms. Fenton, I'm just going to do a little reflex test. Just tell me when it starts hurting." He said to her. His voice sounded like that of a dweeb who's obsessed with Star Trek. He took out a little hammer and tapped her knee lightly. "Does that hurt?" She shook her head no. The doctor was taken aback a bit. "Really? OK, then. How about this?" He hit again, this time a bit harder.
But again, Jazz shock her head no. This time, the doctor freaked out. "AAHH, psychopath! No mortal can resist thy hammer of justice!" He then dropped his clipboard and ran out of the room screaming, "ALIEN!" Several times. Later that day, he was arrested for citizen endangerment and child abuse...that last charge was for reasons unknown.
(End Cutaway)
End of Chapter 1.
Yes, I did say this fanfic would be a crossover fanfiction. But I didn't say it would be in the first chapter. It'll probably happen in the next chapter or the chapter after that. But there will be a crossover and you will be pleased as to how it happens...not like the Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour Triolgy.
And if you think you know which show I'm crossing over into, tell me in your review! Though I think it is safe to say it's kind of obvious
Next Time: The nightmares continue for Danielle, as do the dumb cutaways that keep up busy while they go off on a round table discussion. And a phsyical exam reveals more tragic news for our little ghost girl. But will good news for her change her attitude?
Expected Update: I'll try to get my next chapter up by December 16th, just in time for The Biggest Loser: Families Finale.
