Hey guy's hope you enjoy my first attempt at an action scene. Please let me know if I can improve in some way.
Sheriff11 & Owen Kendall: No I'm not doing a harem. Danny will only have one girl at a time. I will be pairing him off with some girls before Ember. Trying to build them up. As for Sam and Tucker they will come into the story but not in a big way.
A Night Out
Danny walked back to the booth in Buenos Nacho, a small smile playing over his face. Man, if Tucker and Sam could see this. Shaking his head lightly. Over at his table his friends waited for him.
Ember and Kim were talking about bands, which ones had the cutest boy's. Timmy was sitting next to them throwing a name here and there. Danny still couldn't really get a good read on that guy.
Ron had brought another girl with him, Tera. She had blond curly hair and had a thing for Ron. Danny had caught a few smiles from Ron, suggesting that he at least had an interest in her.
"… okay, okay but you all have to agree that Harry from One Direction is so overrated." Timmy said as Danny sat down.
"Amen to that." Danny and Ron chipped in. Danny looked over to Ron to see him smiling and holding his arm out for a fist bump. Danny returned the gesture.
"Whatever, you guys are just jealous." Tera said.
"Uh how hurtful." Ron said clutching his chest, a mock look of hurt on his face. Everyone laughed at that. Danny looked over to the clock. It was eight thirty still a lot of time left for them to get back before lights out.
Danny looked over to Timmy, he was laughing softly his cap laid on the table. He had brown hair that was a little longer than Danny's used to be. He had recently changed his hairstyle, cutting it short around the sides and leaving the top a bit longer.
"Anyone you really like, Timmy?" Danny asked. Timmy got a small blush and looked down at his hands twisting his purple mood ring on his finger.
"Yeah but I'm a bit embarrassed to say." He said without looking up from his fingers.
"Can't be as bad as Ron's." Kim said sniggering.
"Say what you want I like a Backstreet Boys song every now and again." Ron defended. They laughed again but Timmy only gave a small smile.
Taking a deep breath, he said. "I really like Lady Antebellum." Danny had to admit he hadn't expected that. Around the table it had been one of the more surprising confessions of guilty pleasures when it came to music.
Not as shocked as he had been to find out that Tera like to listen to Slipknot ever now and again. Still Timmy didn't look like the Lady Antebellum type.
"Not as shocking as Tera's…" Tera throw in a 'Hey!'. "…I approve, they have some great songs." Ember finished. Ron nudged Tera and she smiled at him a blush clearly visible on her cheeks.
Suddenly Danny felt a chill run down his spine, like someone was sliding a cube of ice down it. He spun around and faced the front of the store. A thick fog was crawling towards them. Slowly Danny stood up and faced the window.
He usually felt like this when his ghost sense would go off. Seeing as it hadn't he ruled out a ghost. He was vaguely aware of someone calling his name. He turned to see Ember standing behind him also staring into the fog. She shifted her eyes to him and he knew that she had also sensed the danger.
Danny had no idea how, but he knew she had felt the same thing he did. She nodded, and he turned to the table.
"Okay guys stay behind me and stay alert." Danny raised his voice, so it carried though the restaurant. "Okay people I need you all to listen to me." A few heads turned towards him.
"Something is coming in that fog." He said looking at everyone knowing that after the Incident they would know strange things are possible.
"Is there a place where you would be safe?" He asked the manager. He nodded, and Danny turned to the people again.
"Okay follow the manager and don't open for anything. I'll come and get you when it's safe." Some looked like they were going to argue but then an unearthly howl tore through the quiet.
"Move now!" Danny almost yelled at them. They all moved to the front.
"Danny what do you think you're going to do?" Kim asked him.
"I've done this before. Please go I'll come get you when it's done." He said.
"Sorry Babypop that doesn't work for me. I can help too." Ember said walking up to Danny.
"So, can I. Me and Ron have seen our fair share of danger." Kim threw in.
"Yeah." Ron said a bit shaky.
"This is not a debate. You need to leave now." Danny said to Kim who completely ignored him.
"Ron, I want you to go with the others and keep them safe in case some get past us." Kim said, Ron looked a bit relieved. He took Tera by the hand and led her to the counter.
Looking over his shoulder he saw Timmy still standing at the booth pushing his sleeves up. "Are you coming Tim?" Ron asked.
"Nope." He said. "Go Ron, now." Ron didn't wait around as he heard another howl sounding a lot closer.
"I'm serious guys I can handle them, go." Danny said getting angrier as he saw them shake their heads. "I can't let you get hurt."
Timmy chose this as a time to step up to Danny. He was the same height as Danny. His steel astral blue eyes not wavering.
"Listen Danny I don't know how you plan on dealing with them but …" Timmy's eyes faltered to the ground. A second later he looked Danny in his eyes again and disappeared. Danny jumped back and looked around only to find Timmy behind him, tentacles of energy swirling around him in different colors of green, pink and purple.
"I have magic, I know how to use it and I won't just stand back anymore." Danny couldn't believe his eyes. He stared at Timmy, caught himself and a little chuckle escaped him.
"Okay since we're being open about this." As Danny said that a ring of white light formed around his middle and split. One going up the other traveling down. Changing his appearing as they went. They replaced his clothes with a black suit. He had white gloves that went up to just under his elbow's. A white utility belt hung off his hip and a white hood pooled around his neck. His black hair turned snow white and when he opened his eyes they glowed a radioactive green.
Danny smiled at the shocked reactions he got from his friends. He cringed now, ex-friends he was sure. He lowered his head and lifted his arms slowly. Clenching his fist when they got up to his waist.
"I'm half ghost, half human." Danny almost whispered. He closed his eyes expecting them to start screaming and running from him. What he got was a laugh from Ember that he wasn't expecting.
"Well you just made my night Babypop." With an almost evil smile. "I'm a ghost too." She finished her blue hair rising like a fire. Blue flames licked her fingertips.
Danny heard the window break and turned in time to see a car being cut in half by a pink energy tentacle from Timmy.
Shadows were starting to come from the fog.
…
When Jazz had heard the first howl it had chilled her to the bone. It wasn't anywhere close to earthly. It sounded like the screams of hundreds of tortured souls searching for revenge. Hungry, angry and insane.
John Doe, because they didn't know his name, had grabbed her hand and started to drag her out of the room down the hall. His grip had been strong but not bone crushing. His robe was open at the back and with a deep blush on her cheeks she relished that he was still naked.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"We need to get somewhere safe. That room can't be locked, anyone can come into the room," was his reply. She had to agree with him. She did not want to come face to face with whatever had made that howl.
She had to focus on his shoulder blades but the muscles there where shifting like powerful machines and her eyes drifted down to the exposed parts of him every now and again. She bit her lower lip and forced her eyes up to his back only to find herself looking down there again.
This had happened a couple of times until she heard a woman screaming. That got her attention. They both had stopped behind the vending machine.
"John, we need to go help." Jazz urged him.
"My name isn't John." He said taking her hand again.
"Well since you don't know, and I need to call you something." She retorted. He seemed to think about it for a while.
"Fine it'll have to do for now." He said shaking head.
"We have to go help." Jazz urged.
"She's already dead." John said flatly. Jazz was shocked and pulled her hand free.
"You …you don't know that she …"
"I can smell her blood Jazz, and whatever killed her is coming this way we need to move." He said grabbing her hand again.
"How do you know?" She asked walking beside him.
"They smell off. Like the dead but at the same time something musty, damp fur or wool, rotten." He almost spat that last bit. Jazz tried to pick up what he was talking about but all she got was the faint smell of wet dog.
Her mind was racing but it stopped completely when John stopped and pressed her against the wall. Pressing his body up against hers and placing a hand on her mouth before he lifted a finger to his own. She had almost screamed when he disappeared, she looked around frantically and realised she was gone too.
He had made them invisible. She could still feel him. His body strong like steel against hers. That didn't make sense only Danny and Vlad where able to do this as far as she knew. Before she could think any further a creature came lumbering out of the hallway. She was glad for John's hand otherwise she would have screamed.
It vaguely resembled a wolf. It had a wolf like head, sharp teeth poked out from it's lower jaw. It's eyes were black pools. Its body was badly out of proportion, long arms a short upper body and thin scaly legs. Its nails scraped against the tiles. It had huge hands that could easily hold a basketball with space left. Its feet were flat like an elephant's feet with long hooked nails.
It stopped and sniffed the air, looked around the hall and walked down past them trailing blood on the floor as it walked. Jazz heard a snarl that sounded too close to have come from the monster. Jazz felt John's body leave her and she turned visible. The second she became visible the monster turned to her, he took one step towards her and stopped, dropped to his knees and fell flat on his face.
John appeared next to the body, his hand bloody and holding something in it. Jazz didn't know what to do. He had just killed something, ripped out its heart without breaking the things skin. Her brain taking over, overriding her shock and caution. Intangibility, couple that with his invisibility she was starting to form an idea, but she needed to check a few more things.
…
The shadow had stepped into the light. It had friends and they all were as ugly as hell, overbite and all. Twelve in total had stepped out of the fog.
"Oh, fuck you are ugly." Ember said, a guitar appeared in her hands. The first one looked like it almost smiled. It grunted and four broke off from the pack and headed back out into the fog.
Kim was a little relieved that they only had eight to deal with but that still left them out numbered two to one. Kim had faced worse on her own. She looked them over most of them where only a foot or so taller than they were. Two of them just barely fitted into the building.
Kim wished she had brought her equipment. She could have used some of her gadgets. She hoped her new friend's powers would help a lot. She did feel a little out of place, the only non-superpowered human in the room, but she had experience and she would not back down. After all she was a Possible.
"What do you werewolf rejects want?" Kim asked facing the bigger wolves. It made a grunting sound that sounded a lot like 'Hunt'
"Well we are sorry, but it's been cancelled for you." Timmy said. He shrugged like it was a real pity. Kim had to remember to get him to join the drama club with her.
They picked that as the last straw and attacked. A big one headed for Timmy while the other big one and a smaller one headed towards Danny. Two came rushing at Kim. She turned her full attention on them. They moved faster than she would have thought possible with their flat feet, but the claws seemed to give them some traction leaving gashes in the tile. Kim stood ready waiting for her opening. As one lowered itself to use is massive arms to propel him forward, the other one stayed up going for high ground. Kim jumped up flipping backwards, landing squarely on the first one's head driving it into the hard floor. She dropped to the ground as the other swiped at her head and pushed up with her hands, she kicked the second one in its oversized jaw. Still having enough momentum, she wrapped her legs around its neck.
Bending backwards she brought her legs down, slamming its head into the tile and hearing a sickening snap. She was kicked in her back and that sent her lunging forward. She pressed her hands to the ground and landed in a hunch. She felt a little blood run down her back, but she couldn't think about it. The wolf was already on her. She blocked his strike, but the force alone sent her skidding backwards a few feet. She was ready for the follow up. Jumping up she grabbed its hand and brought her feet down onto the wolf's arm, snapping it. The thing let out a painful yelp. It tried to bite at Kim and she rolled out of its way.
Kim briefly caught a glimpse of the others. Danny had his big one locked in a choke hold. The small one had been punched into the wall, blood dripping from it's mouth. As she watched his hand caught fire and he burned the big one in the face. It let out a piercing scream which seemed to make the windows vibrate. Ember had taken out two and was slamming the last one through a table with a sonic fist she had summoned with her guitar. Timmy's hoody had been torn and he had a cut on his face. He had his magical tentacles wrapped around the things neck and was strangling it. She had taken all this within a few seconds. Quickly jumping back to the tables, she picked up a knife as an idea formed.
"Ember pass me your strap." She yelled swinging the knife around in her hand. Embers strap came flying towards her. She caught it and wrapped it around her arm just as the wolf came swinging at her.
As the wolf came closer she ducked under its arm and pushed the knife into the arm, severing the tendon. Swinging the belt around the wolfs neck, she jumped around as the wolf snapped at her again. She caught the end of the strap as she landed on the table. Her back wounds protesting painfully against the assault. The wolf had also come backwards being pulled by the force. She brought her knees up and pulled hard on the strap around its neck. Without arms, it just thrashed around snapping at air. It got slower and weaker and after a little bit it stopped. Kim didn't let go, not until she felt a hand on her shoulder.
She flinched and almost pulled away from the touch. Her eyes snapped to her left and she felt herself relaxing into his hand. Danny had come over to her. His green eyes full of concern and a little fear.
"He's dead Kim, it's okay you can let go now." The bite of the belt lessened as she uncoiled her hands.
