Mayor Vlad's Revealing Speech
Chapter 2
Revealed
Once all of the students and teachers were settled down into the seats, the tall, white haired billionaire stepped out to the podium that was placed at the center of the stage with two spotlights shining down on him alone.
"Hello students and faculty of Casper High, I am your mayor Vlad Master's and this is a speech that is very relevant to your class specifically," the man finished with a look at Danny.
Danny turns and glances worriedly at Sam who sees the look and just pats the hand that is clenching the seat rest in between them.
"You see we have evidence to believe that the Ghost Boy, Danny Phantom/Invis-o-Bill, is either over shadowing a student or could be a halfa. Before you ask, a halfa is a new type of ghost who is still alive, but can change into a ghostly alter ego with the powers and everything. The way that a halfa comes into existence is by receiving a very high shock of ectoplasmic energy through the body which would cause a half death. The half dead part of the person then become the ghostly half and the part that can use the full extent of the ghostly powers. Some side effects on the human counterpart would be random bouts of invisibility and intangibility in the first few weeks when the person is getting used to the ghostly powers," Vlad finished. His eyes never left Danny's after he said the part about Phantom being a student.
Meanwhile Danny was panicking on the inside, but since Vlad was watching his movement he kept it under control as the fruit loop explained more and more about his alter ego and its so called "birth." As he looked around he could see that every one was totally focused on the white haired man. 1) he was talking about Danny Phantom, a hero and role model to all of them. 2) the mayor stated that it was very likely that the hero was someone who went to school with them! If that didn't catch and hold the minds of 16 year olds, nothing except video games would.
"The halfa would have 'accidents' after he or she received the ghost powers from the half death." Vlad said this with air quotes, "These accidents would be simple things like dropping random objects and/or tripping from bouts of intangibility going out of control." Danny was now glaring at Vlad because he could see that his peers and even the teachers were thinking about who could possibly be the student that either harbored or was the famous, or infamous depending on your own view, Danny Phantom. Danny realized no one was even listening to anyone else mumbling or talking to their friends because they were wondering, whether aloud or in thought, who was the halfa. Danny took this opportunity to move closer to Sam in order to try and make a plan to stop Vlad in his tracks.
"Sam, we have to get Vlad off of that stage before people start putting two and two together with my appearance and the accidents I had at the beginning of ninth grade," Danny whisper yelled to Sam. Sam nodded and turned to Tucker.
"Tuck, we need a plan to get our ghostly mayor off stage and not close to revealing Danny's secret identity," Sam then whispered to Tucker. Tucker leaned over Sam and gave a thumbs up to Danny. The trio all thought of a way to get Vlad off stage without revealing Danny themselves.
After a couple more minutes of Vlad getting closer and closer to letting Cujo out of the bag (yes I know it's supposed to be cat, there are not cats in the series), Danny's ghost sense went off.
"Oh no not now," moaned Danny, "who is it now?"
"GHOST CHILD, I shall pick you out from this crowd of children and take your pelt from you to put on my wall," the ghost zone's greatest hunter, Skulker, emerged from the ceiling with his hair blazing and a gun at the ready. As the students screamed and started to panic around him Danny look to Vlad to see if he was mad at Skulker taking his spotlight while he was about to give up his arch nemesis's secret. Vlad did not look angry at all, in fact he looked pleased. As if this was all according to some schemed up with the ghostly hunter, he smirked up at Danny as his eyes flashed their menacing red. Danny's eyes in turn flashed toxic green while he gritted his teeth and glared at Vlad. The students reached the doors, but they were locked up with glowing green chains from the outside. Seeing as no one had any bolt cutters, they were trapped in here with a deranged ghost who was out for one of their own, who happened to have other worldly powers. Yep not at all a situation where there would be mass panicking. Skulker seized Dash by his jacket and hefted him up to the now vacated stage, Vlad phased through the floor during the chaos.
"Whelp, I will vaporize this large student if you don't show your self," the hunter ransomed. "You have until the gun charges up to give yourself up and accept being a fixture on my wall." Dash was visibly panicking on stage, while the gun charged up its deathly green glow. Danny was having a mental battle until he realized what he had to do.
Danny said, "wish me luck guys'" before he turned invisible and snuck up on stage to stand in front of Dash. Danny mentally and physically prepared himself for the blast. Dash really started to shake as he saw that the gun was getting more and more of a glow, but nothing was happening off stage. Right as the gun fired a shot, Danny, still holding onto his invisibility, placed a shield in between the shot and himself while Dash cowered behind the glowing green barrier. Danny couldn't keep invisibility at the same time as the shield as he had just learned it, and returned to everyone's sight as he dropped a knee and the shield shattered.
"Damn," the blue eyed boy panted, "I meant to stay invisible. Oh well, you ok Dash." Dash and the rest of the school just stared in a somewhat shocked, awed, and frightened gaze at the newly revealed halfa. The large jock realized that Danny asked him a question and finally shook his head and collapsed backward.
Skulker smiled evilly and said just loud enough for the young halfa to hear, "all according to plan Plasmius." Danny's eyes stayed a glowing green as he glared at Skulker.
"You should know by now that I won't let anything happen to the people of this town," Danny was only panting slightly now and stood up as Dash crawled his way off stage. "I'll take care of Plasmius later. For now let's get rid of the Ghost Zone's Biggest Loser," Danny taunted as the familiar white rings traveled up and down his body. After the transformation was complete he got into a battle ready position and waited for Skulker to make the first move.
"I AM THE GREATEST HUNTER THE GHOST ZONE HAD EVER SEEN AND I WILL HAVE YOUR PELT WHELP," Skulker exploded and charged at the phantom. Danny waited until the metal ghost was three fourths of the way to him when he started his upwards kick. From there, the fight was one sided and everyone could tell that Skulker was obviously losing. The mixture of ecto blasts and physical fighting moves left the crowd astonished because even they could see that their scrawny Danny Fenton image did not hold up in any way, shape, or form to the person they saw before them. As Danny took a nasty blow from Skulker's fist, they realized that he would do just about anything in order to keep this town safe. Even if the townspeople didn't treat him the way he deserved.
Danny finally knocked the ghost's head off and yelled, "Sam, Tuck I need a thermos!" The halfa reached into the disembodied head and thrust his hand into the hole where the head would attach to the body. It took a minute but when his hand came back out he was holding a small green blob with a face, hands, and feet.
The blob yelled in a high pitched voice, "PUT ME BACK WHELP! I am Skulker the greatest hunter in both dimensions, I will not be humiliated like this." A bluish-white beam of light shot from somewhere in the audience and hit Skulker. The light surrounded him and then retracted back into a high tech silver cylinder which was then capped by Sam.
"Nice aim Sam," Danny said as he let the white rings flow over him again and he dropped the couple inches back to solid ground. The now human halfa turned to the stunned audience of his peers and scratched the back of his head with his free hand.
"Um...well I've never had anything like this happen to me, but I hope that you will all agree to keep this a secret so that the Guys in White or my parents can't capture me and do very, very painful experiments on me," Danny pleaded with the crowd.
"Of course Daniel, I'm sure that everyone here is grateful enough that you've saved the town so many times that we would all be happy to keep your secret to ourselves," Mr. Lancer spoke up and then eyed all of the students. "But, will you entertain a few questions because I am sure that there are many."
"Of course," Danny answered and quickly followed up with, "but please wait till I call on you." He replied once he saw most people about to shout out questions.
Yea this is as far as I got over the summer, don't shoot me, but yea here is the second chapter. Third is on the way but not as fast as this one.
