Of Phantoms & Dragons

A Danny Phantom Fanfic

By Apolla360

"Please tell me why we're going there again!" Tucker Foley whined from the back of the Spectre Speeder. Up in the front row, Sam rolled her Amythest eyes at him, "Because Nitwit! ClockWork said he wanted to speak with us about something very important, which Danny here won't tell me!" She replied, casting a glare at Danny who still had a smirk planted on his face.

"Danny, pleeeeease tell us!" Sam pleaded, Danny chuckled & continued to steer the Speeder through the Ghost Zone, "Sorry guys, No can tell!" He gave Sam a sideways glance, "Unless, Sam..." He began slyly, "You do that Puppy Pout you hate so much." Danny was doing all he could from laughing at Sam's expression.

"NO!" Sam screeched, Tucker groaned, "C'mon Sam it's a stupid pout that preppy girls do to get their way!"

"Exactly." Sam replied, "I'm a goth, & I have vowed to never imitate a prep."

"Pleeeeease!" Tucker pleaded.

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Would you two just stop?"
"Sorry."
"Sorry."

A few minutes later, Danny, Sam & Tucker were outside of Clockwork's tower looking for a way in. "Okay," Tucker began, as he paced in front of his friends. "The front door is locked..."

"Um, Tucker.." Danny started.

"Just a minute Danny lemme think about this."

Danny rolled his eyes & transformed, "AHEM!"

"WHAT?" Tucker shouted, turning around; he laughed nervously when he saw Danny & Sam glaring at him.

"I think.. we ALREADY have a way in." Sam said darkly. Tucker grinned sheepishly, "Riiiiiiight, I, uh, knew that."

"& you guys call me clueless!" Danny whispered to Sam, she blushed & put her arm around his waist as he began to hover above the ground.

Danny grabbed Tucker by the back of his shirt & lifted him into the air as he fazed through the tower wall.

Inside, the three friends were greeted by Clockwork who was standing in front of a portal, completely different from the future seeing one.

"I'm glad you came." Clockwork said kindly to the three teens.

"It wasn't a problem," Danny replied, "You said you needed us for something?"

"Ah, yes Danny, tell me; do you believe in dragons?"

Danny exchanged a baffled look with his friends, "Uh, I guess I do, I fought Prince Aragon."

Clockwork waved his hand dismissively, "No Danny, not those dragons. Actual, living, breathing, creatures that aren't conjured by amulets."

"No, are there?" Danny asked curiously.

Clockwork nodded & withdrew three small flasks from his cloak, each were filled with a glittering black liquid.

"Each of you, please drink one of these & I will inform you of your mission."

Danny & Sam stepped foward first & took their flasks from Clockwork, "This isn't poison is it?" Danny asked nervously.

"No, it's a transfiguration potion. Please drink it."

Danny nodded & quickly drained the flask...a moment later, he fell over.

"DANNY!" Sam screamed, she started to run towards him but stopped when a strange silvery smoke engulfed Danny's body, hiding it from view.

The cloud of smoke began to grow & Clockwork ushered Sam & Tucker to the far corner of the room.

"I'm not sure if he'll be fully aware of himself." Clockwork told them, glancing down he saw the worried expression on their faces & gave them a reassuring smile.

"Danny will be fine, but you should probably drink your potions."

With some hesitation, Sam drained her's first, then Tucker drained his; & just as Danny had done, they collapsed & where soon engulfed with the silvery smoke.

Clockwork had his back turned to Danny, but when he heard a exhausted growl, he turned & took a bow & smiled.

"How do you feel Danny?"

"Like I've been hit by a truck!"

Clockwork nodded, "That's normal, go take a look at yourself in that mirror over there."

it took Danny a moment to gain his balance, & slowly he walked to the nearby mirror.

"WHAT THE HECK!" Danny yelped in surprise, in the mirror was a dragon about 20ft long & 15ft tall, Danny sat back on his haunches & took in his appearance.

His eyes glowed a brilliant green like when he was in ghost mode, his horns & talons were silver, & his wingspan was about 25ft long, when he stretched his wings out he could see that on the bottom they white, the rest of his body was raven black.

"Whoa...how did...I mean...wow!" Danny could barely speak.

"Ohhh. My head." Danny snapped his head around when a familiar female voice.

"Sam?" Danny asked, he could see a figure beginning to emerge from the shadows; a moment later, Danny felt his breath catch in his throat when a beautiful female dragon stepped out from the darkness.

"Danny?" She asked, Danny now knew it was Sam he was looking at.

"Y-yeah, it's me."

Sam smiled & went to stand beside him, She was about the same size as Danny but her eyes were a shimmering violet color, her horns & talons were an emerald color, & the bottom of her wings was the same color as her eyes, the rest of her body was entirely black like Danny's.

"Where's Tucker?" Sam asked, Danny shrugged.

"Uhhh, are dragons supposed to have hooves?" Tucker asked, Danny & Sam couldn't see him anywhere.

"Um, I don't think so Tuck; where are you?" Danny asked, it was quiet for a moment then Danny & Sam heard the sound of hooves clip-clopping on the stone floor.

Turning around, Danny saw a brown unicorn with black wings, tail, & horn coming around the corner, around its eyes were two black circles that look strangely enough like Tucker's glasses.

"TUCKER!"

Heh, Heh, whaddya think of the first chappie? Trust me, there will be a lot of questions explained in the next chapter...which will only be posted if I get ten reviews from my readers!
