(X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*) (FLASH BACK!)
Earlier that day…
"Beep beep, beep, beep, bee- SMASH!"
Danny raised his hand from the broken remains of his alarm clock, releasing a low groan. He lifted himself from his bed, stretching. There was a light drizzle of rain outside. 'Typical for late March,' the fact filtered through Danny's mind. 'Not much verity in the weather department this time of year.'
"Danny, time to take a shower!"
(X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*)
Danny strolled down the stairs, hair newly dampened. Jack jumped up startling Jazz who was sitting next to him, reading a book.
"Danny! Meet the Fenton Fudge-O-Matic! It turns ghost energy into regular energy, and then makes fudge! See!"Jack bellowed, jumping up and down. He grabbed a small ghost that had been sitting in a capture devise next to him, and placed it on the pad. Four mechanical arms shot out and held the ghost down. There was a fizzle of electricity before the ghost started to shriek. It vanished in a puff of green smoke as the devise dinged. A small platter of fudge came out on the opposite side of the contraption.
"Yay! Butterscotch fudge!"Jack clapped his hands, bouncing. "Check it out son!" Jack handed the Fudge machine to Danny, taking the fudge for himself. Danny only held it for a second before the arms shot out and wrapped around his arm. Danny gasped stumbling. It shocked him suddenly, draining him. He shrieked. Danny could feel the energy leaving him, leaving only a quarter of his strength left in his body. He could hear the object ding as it had done before, but he was too busy blinking away black spots in his vision to pay much attention. When his vision cleared he looked up to see his mother standing in the doorway to the kitchen and his father standing, both with a look of confusion. Jazz was also watching with concern. Maddie glanced over at jack.
"Jack, Danny is not a ghost."
"I know… but Jazz is!"
Danny staggered out of the house to the sounds of his sister's screams and many crashes.
(X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*)
Vlad stalked into the lab. Skulker turned to glance at him, and then turned back to working with the Maddie program on their newest project.
"Hello Vlad deary, how are you today?"
"I'm fine Maddie, Skulker how is the project coming along?" Skulker turned to him, a slight smirk on his face. Vlad wasn't sure yet if that was a good or bad thing. You never knew what was going through the mechs head.
"Were almost done sir." Vlad felt a small flood of relief. So far no more plans to slaughter his cat.
"You never told me what this is exactly, nor how you found it." Vlad held up the last component. It was a red and white ball, with a small black stripe. Skulker shifted. He looked over to the gauntlet in the corner of the room. Four gems glittered in a row on top of it.
"The reality gauntlet I had to remake, but the gems I just found floating in the ghost zone. I got the weird ball from a blond human girl with black clothes and a strange purple land shark creature. She dropped it and ran when I beat up her land shark thing." Vlad could sense the lie in the air, but he let Skulker not feel hurt from knowing just how weak he really was.
(Guess who she is!)
Vlad nodded and turned to leave, but froze when he realized what Skulker had just said. He spun on his feet.
"THE REALITY GHANTLET! That's what you've been making for three weeks! And where in the name of fudge nuts did you get the gems!"
"As I said before I found them in the ghost zone, probably after some idiot destroyed the origin gauntlet, since I couldn't find it anywhere." Vlad swore. Maybe he should listen to what people say…
"Fine, now just make it do whatever it does."
(X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*)
Staggering, Danny came out into the hall from homeroom. Still physically drained he walked over to his friends for the first time that day. Tucker was the first to speak up.
"Dude, what happened to you?" Danny grunted in reply. He hadn't spoken in first period. In fact he hadn't spoken since that morning.
"Your parents tested something on you again didn't they?"Danny turned to Sam. She always could tell when his parents had tested something on him. He and Tucker could never figure out how she knew.
He nodded in reply all the same. Sam frowned. "What did it do?"
"It made fudge."
(X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*)
"Done!" Vlad stalked back into the lab. Skulker held up the weapon so the fanged man could get a better look at it. It looked like a basic ecto gun, but with the red and white ball at the tip of the barrel.
Vlad smirked. "Well now that you've finished it, would you enlighten me as to what it does?" He shifted so that he was flouting.
Skulker flipped the gun so it was lying on its side, flat against his palm. "Well, it has a strange fox like creature inside the ball with a dark aura, which this weapon will harness. But…" He bit his lip at this. "I still don't know what it does." Vlad slapped his hand to forehead, dragging it down to cover his eyes.
"Well figure it out!"
"How?"
"Test it!"
"On what?"
Vlad turned to the reality gauntlet and pointed to it. "That." Skulker nodded and took aim. He turned to Vlad.
"Not that I'm complaining, but why the reality gauntlet?" Vlad's eyes grew hard.
"That is a weapon that is to powerful to be used by anyone." Skulker turned back the to gun without another word. He pulled the trigger back and a red beam shot out of the white circle in the middle of the ball. It incased the gauntlet before it glowed even brighter. Vlad and Skulker covered their eyes and turned away from the light. When they turned back the gauntlet was gone.
Vlad smirked. "I think I have an idea as to what to use this on. Or should I say WHO!" The sound of laughter filled the house that day.
(X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*)
"Mr. Fenton, Mr. Fenton!" Danny's eyes fluttered open. He looked up, lifting his head from the comfort of his folded arms. He blinked up at the man.
Mr. Lancer glared down at him calmly. "Mr. Fenton please do pay attention in my class, I prefer if my students do not sleep." He walked back to the front of the room. He shoveled around to face the class just as the bell rang. "I expect the full three pages of the notes we took today turned in tomorrow, and yes that includes you Mr. Fenton."
Danny rose to his feet. The nap hasn't given him any more energy at all, in fact he felt worse. He walked in the hall his mind almost blank. He walked down the hallway, only the pass by Dash. The large boy grabbed the scruff of Danny's neck suddenly as the boy passed. He was wiped around to face the other male.
The boys face was shoved in his and the other sneered at him. "Hey Fentina! It's your fault I failed that open book spelling test! You made me get an F-!" He opened a nearby locker and tossed the other boy in, while Danny was preoccupied with the thought about how in standard based grading, there was no such thing as an F-.
(Half an hour later)
A sleeping Danny passed through the locker door, landing with a thud. He jolted awake. The school was closed up tight, the only people that were in the building were him, and according to the rumor mill was Mr. Lancer, who supposedly slept at school. He looked at the clock. A half an hour had past from the end of the last period of the day. Most of the teachers left at the same time as the kids, so the doors were locked. He walked over to one the exits, phasing through it. He walked out into the sun light. Sam and Tucker were waiting outside for him.
"Dude where were you?"
"Asleep in a locker."
"Why?"
"Dash."
"Ok."
"Can I go home now?"
Sam smirked. "No."
That got Danny's attention. "Why not?"
"We have to go watch 'Zombie Teacher Apocalypse 5' at my place."
Danny's shoulders slumped even further. "Sorry, I'm just too tired to see a movie that hasn't come out yet, id sleep through it all."
It was Sam's turn to slump. "Can we at least walk you home?" Danny nodded. He always could count on his friends for the little things in life.
They started off in the direction of Danny's house, only to run into Vlad a block from Casper high.
Danny glanced at the older gentleman like man. "Hey Fruitloop." He passed by him without really caring. He stopped walking when he realized that Tucker and Sam were not behind him. In fact they were standing, in shock next to an almost shocked Vlad. "What?"
Sam was the first one to snap out her shock and answer his question. "Well you didn't even say anything that rude to Vlad…"
Vlad snapped out at this. "And calling me a Fruitloop is not considered rude!" He shook in rage at this. He turned to Danny sharply. "Boy, I've given up on you. I have found a way to eliminate you and I will use it!"
Danny blinked at the taller man. "Sorry, too tired to care." He turned and began to walk away. The next thing Danny knew he was being tackled by Vlad in full Plasmius mode. When they separated Danny was had transformed into his ghost form.
"Skulker now!" There was a sound a missile rocketing towards them.
BOOM!
(X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*)
Hey, Danny here. Sorry to break the fourth wall and all, but it looks like we've caught up to the prologue. So it's time to switch to Sam and tucker!
(X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*)
They had hid themselves behind a nearby car. Danny had banned them from helping in fights with more than one powerful ghost. They watched as a almost demolished Skulker came out of the dust cloud, only to walk over to a human Danny and shoot him with a red beam. Sam tried to rush out to help him, but Tucker held her back Tears in both of their eyes as they watched their best friend of many years disappear before they're very eyes.
"DANNY!"
(X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*)
And that is how my day began.
(X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X*)
