Hey, here's the new chapter for The Black Raven. Now, I don't own Danny Phantom, as he belongs to Butch Hartman.
Enjoy.
Chapter 2: The Black Raven
Six years later.
Amity Park was a small town in Illinois, with a lowest crime rate, but has a big ghost problem.
At an apartment at the Amity Community College, is where the black haired man with blue eyes, and wears a black leather jacket with a blue shirt and black jeans with combat boots on marches out of the bathroom as he head for the living room.
He makes himself some breakfast eggs and bacon, with some sliced apples and orange juice. He sat at the table so he can eat, and wait for Tucker to come stop by so they can get to their classes. He turns on the tv as he watch the news of the recent ghost huntings, and also the recent opening of the new rose garden park at Amity, funded by the Mansons.
The Sam Manson Memorial Park.
Danny thought that he should go and visit there, but the thought of going to a park named after his dead girlfriend for 4 hours can really sting him in pain. It hurt him, as much as the Mansons wouldn't not have let him in to attend the new park.
He wasn't the same without Sam all those six years ago.
Flashback, six years ago.
The funeral took place at a church near Amity. All of Sam's family and acquaintances come to the funeral as well as the citizens of Amity Park who come to pay their respects.
Tucker was still in the hospital so he couldn't make it there, but Danny and his family managed to come. They were wearing black, to the surprise the parents didn't wore hazmat suits like they'd usually would.
As soon as they enter the church, one Manson Matriarch made a scene.
"You." Pamela Manson growled in anger as she looks at the family, especially Danny, in distain. "How dare you show your faces at my daughter's funeral, you miscreants!"
"Honey, please don't-" Jeremy tries to ease his wife, but was cut off.
"Especially that boy of yours!" Pamela shouts as everyone at the funeral look at the manic mother. "I always knew that boy would be trouble, and Sam's death just proves how much of a disease you and that family are! It should by him in that coffin, not my Samantha!"
All gasps of shock can be heard throughout the church. Everyone now felt disgusted by the woman's outburst, even the Fentons were angry, especially Maddie.
"There's no way to talk to my son about that! He didn't cause Sam's death!" Maddie retorts. The Fenton mother always thinks of Sam like her own daughter whenever she visits at FentonWorks for Danny. She wouldn't mind if Sam actually married Danny, but now that won't be happening sadly.
"ENOUGH!" Shout the only person Danny wouldn't have expected to be here.
All eyes turn to Vlad, who stood in between the two mothers from the argument. "I will not have my family friends to be bad mouthed, Mrs. Manson." He told as Pamela was about to retort "Before you retort, may I remind you of who's paying for your daughter's funeral? You don't want to bring shame in your daughter's memory of blaming others, don't you?"
Pamela backed away as she looks down in shame. She sat back down at the front of the seats as the Fenton family marches down to see Sam's coffin as she wore black.
Danny let out a tear in his eye as he sniffs. He didn't bother calling Vlad out for releasing Freakshow loose just to distract Danny. Who knew prison can warp a person's mind and make them worse.
Flashback Ends.
His thought was interrupted as Danny here's the door knocking, as he puts the dishes away and head to the door. He opens it and saw Tucker, and Valerie.
"Sup, dude? Ready for pop culture class?" Tucker asked as he rolled down in his wheelchair. The techno-geek was paralyzed to the waist down ever since Freakshow shot him. Since then, he couldn't move his legs, as he will be paralyzed for the rest of his life. Valerie was there for him as she accompany him at the hospital six years ago. Tucker now grew his hair out as he now has dreadlocks, wears a green turtleneck and wears blue jeans while sitting on his wheelchair.
"Yeah, I'm good to go." Danny replied as he grabs his backpack and walk with his two friends as he yawns.
"Couldn't get enough sleep, did you?" Valerie asked, the girl grew older with her bob cut hair, and wears her red vest over her yellow shirt, as well as her red shorts on. "Don't tell me, ghost fights?"
"Box Ghost." Danny simply states.
For those who are confused, Valerie figured out that Danny was half ghost after witnessing Vlad as a halfa. She actually put two and two together, and felt like an idiot for not realizing it sooner. Though the similarities between Danielle and Danny are not so quick to point out.
One time, six years ago, Valerie in her Huntress gear flew over to find Phantom for some answers. Once she gets to where the explosion is, she flew there only to find Phantom, changing back to Danny, holding Sam's corpse as he cries his tears out, saying that he's sorry over and over again. Since then, she's not Danny's ghost fighting partner in stopping the ghosts polluting the city.
"Well, come on then, we better hurry or we won't get our college points." Valerie said as the three walk down from the apartment building as they head down to Amity Community College.
At an old warehouse in Elmerton, a bunch of Guys in White agents, thirteen of them, gathered around as they discuss about the recent ghost attacks and how to get Phantom. But the biggest topic to discuss is why are they here.
"Alright, alright, pipe down." Agent K told them as he bangs in the table. "Now, first order of business, does anyone know who set up this meeting? O?"
"It wasn't me." Agent O states.
"Not me, either." Agent J comments. "I just got an anonymous email assuming it was from you guys."
"Me too." Agent Q said as he adjust his glasses, as the rest of the agents nodded in agreement.
"Then if it wasn't you guys, then who called for us!?" K demands angrily.
"I did." said a female voice as the agents look around to see the source of the voice. Instinctively, they pull out their guns as they aim to whoever it was.
"Alright, who was that?" Agent Q demands.
"Could it be Phantom? Huntress?" Agent N suspects.
"Not even close." said the voice as gun shots can be heard shooting up in the rooftop as the agents duct down to avoid getting hit. This was new, one thought.
Stepping out of the shadows is a black cloak figure. She wore a dark, purple face mask, as well as black shades to cover her eyes. She wore a dark purple, kevlar vest with a black symbol that looks like a raven with black pants, and steel toed boots. She wears a belt that holds many weapons, including grenades, guns, knives, grappling hook gun, and some pacts with a skull and crossbones symbol meaning that it could be poison. Her hood and overcoat is pure black, as there are two yellow eyes on the hood making it look like a raven. She also seems to be carrying a gym bag for some reason.
"Who are you!?" Agent K demands as he held his Ecto gun at her.
The figure chuckled as she replied "Don't bother shooting me with those, I know for a fact that those toys don't work on humans."
"Answer our question, woman." Agent O demands as he held his pistol.
"My name isn't important, but if you must know, I'm a ghost huntress." The masked woman told them. "You may have heard of me from some places."
"Indeed I have." Agent Q, the glasses wearing agent with short brown hair as he calmly states. "You're the Black Raven, known to hunt down and manage to kill ghosts and slain other mystical creatures in some parts of the world over the past three years."
"Looks like someone's been doing their homework." The Black Raven comments. "But the difference from me and you guys, I never endanger the public or kill citizens just to catch one ghost." She earn some glares from some of the agents.
"Why are you here, exactly?" Agent N asked. "We've never called you for anything."
The Black Raven chuckled as the agents can't tell from the face mask what's she thinking. "You Guys in White are funny, you know that? Okay, let's cut to the chase: I would like you agents to back off Amity Park and let me deal with the ghost problem. Alone."
"And why should we do that?" Agent M challenged as Black Raven threw her gym bag towards the agents for them to see.
"Open it." She told them.
"Ha, what's in there, your dirty panties or something?" Agent M asked mockingly as the sexist agent unzips the bag and looks what's inside. The regrettably agent grew pale and sick as he turns away from the bag as he throws up on the floor.
Curious, the rest of the agents look what's in the bag as they all grew shocked and pale.
"Th-those are our agents." Agent J muttered in horror.
"She even got Agent Z." Agent O states as he feels like he should throw up like Agent M.
"Those twenty heads of your agents won't be the only ones." Black Raven told them sadistically. "Now, either you back down and let me handle the ghost problem once and for all, or you all end up just like them." She orders them "Oh, and to make things further, how would the President feels when he learns that there are other GIW facilities in Japan, London, China, and many other countries around the world that has paranormal activities there, but no one in those countries need any help?"
"What's stopping us from killing you?" Agent Q challenged.
"I knew you would say that." She said as she grins underneath her mask. "If I die, I have a set back that involves all of the secrets you GIW have leaked online and sent to the president and many governments of the Democracy party, and they'll see your dirty work and any reason to shut you guys down. Also, I've basically hacked into all of your bank accounts, including the dead ones in that bag, so if I die, your accounts shuts down, leaving you broke and jobless."
The agents were taken aback by the threat. Who ever this Black Raven is, she thought up of everything. Every contingency, planning, and counter measure she has on them, including blackmail, is what would make their skin crawl.
"So, so we have a deal or what?" She asked as she grins underneath her mask.
After class, Danny, Tucker, and Valerie are at lunch as they discuss their own topic as it involves certain manga.
"All I'm saying is, that Naruto could've been with Sakura at the end of its serialization." Tucker points out as he eats his hamburger.
Danny sigh as he eats his sandwich. "No, Tuck. Just no, when I read the Naruto manga, I don't see him and Sakura together, for all I care she deserves Sasuke. Besides, Hinata is the perfect girl for Naruto. She's been the one who supported him for his troubles." He replied.
"But Sakura's like, one of the main characters." Tucker countered.
"So is Hinata, and I am so glad that she and Naruto got married in the end of their 700 chapters long series." Danny states.
"Danny's right, Tucker. From what I've seen in the anime, Sakura's a bitch when the episode of the anime that introduce her, all I think about is that shallow witch, Paulina." Valerie comments as Danny nodded.
"She's a tsundere, you know, being mean on the outside, but sweet on the inside?" Tucker points out as Danny and Valerie rolled their eyes. "I mean, she confessed her feelings for Naruto that one time-"
"You mean how she still have feelings for Sasuke and only saids that to Naruto so he can give up on finding Sasuke, and may I remind you, that Naruto told her that he doesn't love her back?" Danny points out to Tucker as the wheel chaired bound man couldn't even counter the argument.
"He's got you there, Tuck." Val comments as she saw Tucker frown in defeat.
It was then Danny's ghost senses activated as a blue mist escaped from his breath, as well as Valerie's ghost detector beeps as the two look at each other.
"My scanners saids Ember, you want to go dance with her?" Valerie asked with a smirk.
"Ladies first." Danny replied "Or rock, paper, scissors?"
The two shake their fists three times as Danny got scissors and Valerie got paper. Danny wins.
"Time to going ghost." He said as he slides down at the table as he phase down to the floor. He flew up from the floor and head straight up to the roof as no one was watching.
Flying up in the air, was Phantom. He look the same, if you count the new muscle toned figure then he was he look lanky. His black hazmat suit looks different as it now has a white triangular line down in his shoulders with his DP logo still on his chest. He even starts wearing a black domino mask to hide his identity from making connections.
"Now to find Ember." He said as he heard screaming coming from the music class wing. "Aha, there she is." he flew towards the direction of the screams as unknown to him, a shadowy figure looms in on him.
"Danny Phantom, just the guy I've been looking for." Black Raven smiled underneath her mask as she revs up her chopper as she rides down to the music auditorium. This is going to be fun.
Here's chapter 2, and I bet you all would like to expect Ember to show up. Next chapter will be Danny vs Ember, and his first encounter with the Black Raven.
