chapter 6 big ass hopeless cabbage.
It`s been a full week since the world last saw an episode of Control Freaks deranged attempt at entertainment. This made the people of the world have different emotions. Some were glad that they didn`t have to watch the teenagers in danger. Others missed the excitement that came with it. But a emotion that everyone shared was curiosity.
Dying of curiosity. That was how Lily Johnson diagnosed her highly distressed roommate. "Don`t worry Jazz. I`m sure your brother is fine."
"How do you know that!? Huh! Do you know something I don`t know!?" Jazz Fenton was having another panic attack.
"Calm down. I`m sure he`s going to show something soon."
"why?"
"Frequent airing. Most shows air new episodes every week, and it`s almost been one." Lily sat down beside Jazz on the sofa.
"But the previous episodes aired every other day."
"He`s probably saving up footage for a longer episode."
Jazz calmed down a bit. "I`m not used to not knowing. Back when I was in Amity Danny told me everything that happened in his life. He did it to clear his mind from all the insanity that the universe threw at him. I literally know everything about him up to the point where he got kidnapped."
"That is great. Would you mind sharing some of that information to the world Jasmine?" Control Freak`s Face was shown on the television screen.
Jazz suddenly calmed down to the point were no emotions could be seen."What would you like to know, Bob?"
"Ugh! The whole world is calling me that aren`t they?"
"Yes, there are even t-shirts." Lily got a shirt from the floor with Control Freak`s face on it. "The back says Bob is fancy a fuck. I won this in a online contest."
"Contest! What do you mean contests!?"
"Whoever gave the best reason why Bob is fancy as fuck would get this T-shirt."
"I`m so getting revenge on Fenton in the next episode. Anyway, Jasmine how would you describe your brother?"
"Well, I would describe him as a paranoid smartass that has traded his sanity for a full bag of nothing. The universe has decided that my brother's life should be as chaotic as possible but even though he can never get a break from the weirdness around him he still continues to do the right thing. He never used his powers for personal gain, something that most people wouldn`t do in his situation. My brother is a good human being that I trust with everything I care about."
"There are some speculations about your brother on the internet. For instance, what do you know about Amity`s Reaper?"
"Reaper showed up about two years ago. Amity was in total chaos after the... Phantom massacre. There were ghost flying around everywhere, criminality skyrocketed and the first super villains started to pop up in Amity Park. At that time I truly thought that the city was doomed, but then Reaper showed up. He wasn`t as powerful as... the previous protector but he managed to create order in the chaos. He is a true hero."
"Yes, a lot of people agree that he is a hero, 89% to be exact. But he also partook in illegal activities such as breaking and entering, steeling technology and money, and kicking the chief of the police department in the balls."
"That basted was corrupt and had it coming." Jazz said waving her fist.
"I agree. Anyway there was a poll on the internet on who your brother might be and 92% of the people predicted that he was Reaper. It makes sense you know, although Reaper mostly uses technology in his fights he has also shown to have powers. Powers that we`ve seen Danny use. Anything to say about that."
"Danny can`t possibly be Reaper, I know that for sure." Jazz said crossing her arms.
"Oh really? And why is that?"
"Because I`m Reaper."
"...Uh. I don`t think I believe you."
"What!? It`s because I`m a woman isn`t it? Bob you`re a sexist."
"Ugh, that`s probably going to be a new thing isn`t it? Fine you`re Reaper, that means that your brother is the other 8% in the poll. There is a theory floating around the internet about the ghost boy. He has many names but is mostly known as the Bloody Phantom because of what he did on the day of the Red suits. His other names are The dark prince, Pariah`s Bane, Inviso Bill and finally Danny Phantom. That last one is the mos..."
"How dare you compare that monster to my brother! Do you have any idée how horrible that day was!? There were bloody corpses everywhere and then... he stood there... laughing at the blood on his hands. That laugh... it will never leave me, and you are accusing my brother of being that... that monster. My brother is a hero!"
"A hero? Really? What has he done that is so heroic?"
"He... Danny has... "
"Don`t bother Jasmine, you just confirmed it to the world. Danny Fenton is Amity Parks Reaper."
"No! he`s not. He`s just a normal teenager."
"You`re not fooling anyone Jasmine. You just gave away your brothers biggest secret."
Tears started to form in Jazz her eyes. "No! Please! I`m... sorry. Danny I`m so sorry."
"While miss Fenton cries in her shame I`ll start today`s episode. It`s a special episode. "
All the way back in Amity Park Sam and Tucker were watching Jazz cry. They didn`t see a woman that was sad because she betrayed her brother. No, they saw a manipulative demon that just fooled the entire world in believing her lies. Sure she sacrificed Reaper`s secret identity but that identity was designed to be revealed since the beginning. When it comes to mind games you better not play with Jasmine Fenton.
The image on the screen changed to that of a forest. All was well in this forest... until a tree got covert in dark energy and exploded.
"Two hundred and twenty-six." A male voice said.
A bush exploded next.
"Two hundred and twenty-seven."
"Danny? Could you stop counting?" A female voice with a slight demonic crackle said while the ground exploded.
"Two hundred and twenty-eight. Does that answer your question Rachel."
"I don`t like the counting."
"Well, I can promise you that me not counting would be worse."
"How so?"
"I have this reflex that when a explosion goes off I feel this urge to punch something. And you are very high on my punching list right now. The counting keeps me calm."
"It`s doing the exact oppositefor me. So stop." A explosion went off in mid air.
Danny paused his walking for a while. "Rachel? Did you just make the air explode?"
Raven didn`t answer.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn`t punch you unconscious and carry you like a bag."
"If I were to fall unconscious right now my subconscious anger would take over andtry tokill you."
Danny sat down on the ground."I`m taking a break."
"Don`t. Every time we rest Control Freak send`s monsters to fight."
"Well, let him. This time I`ll slaughter them all before he can sent more. I haven`t been this tired in over two years. And I`m not physically tired, I`m mentally tired."
Raven sat beside Danny and leaned against him in her exhaustion."Just a few more hours before I lose control and kill you. When I lose control I just want you to know that I`msorry Danny.If youtell me your last words now I`ll deliver them to your loved ones."
"Rachel, you don`t have to apologize, It`s not your fault. Bob has kept us awake for three days and constantly attacked us. I`m actually surprised you didn`t lose it when he turned the water in the river into sludge while you were bathing. Good thing I had a extra set of clothes in the emergency bag."
Raven was wearing Danny`s clothes but they were several sizes too big for her. "How is punching you trough four trees and strangling you not losing it? Why are you still not afraid of me? I`m going to kill you in a few hours and you don`t care."
"How many times do I have to say this. You are not going to kill me."
"I am going to kill you Danny and there is nothing you can do about it so please give me your last words."
"Fine. Tell my sister that I lied to her... her prom dress did make her ass look huge. Tell Tucker Folly that he better become a billionaire because if he wants to have sex in this lifetime he will need the money. Tell Sam Manson that she need to get some meat in her diet. Her Ultra-Recyclo vegetarian diet is making her period smell like cabbage. Tell my mom... "
"What the hell Fenton! I`m not going to tell them that!"
"But they are my last words." Danny whined.
"No they are not. Your last words Is going to be I love you guys."
"That`s not bad actually. But could you tell my mom that when she gets her menopause..."
That was all Raven could take. She threw herself at Danny and started to strangle him. Danny was trying to get the angry woman off him but only succeeded to roll them around the forest. After bumping into a few trees Raven started to get annoyed that the boy wouldn`t die already so she started to incorporate some magic into her attempted murder. "azarath metrion zinthos!" A explosion underneath them launched them through the forest. During this flight Raven realized what she was doing and let go of Danny.
Their flight ended when they both made a crater in the ground where they landed. They didn`t move, not because they were hurt or tired but because of the sheer weirdness that stood before them. They were in the forest for over five days now and never met any living thing besides monsters and potential food. But what stood before them now was a human. He wasn`t alone because there were also children.
As Danny`s mind tried to process what he was seeing he asked a question that he later labeled as the stupidest thing he ever asked. "Are you a ice cream man?"
The man responded. "Son. I`m standing in front of a ice cream cart surrounded by children that are eating ice cream while I am scooping ice cream from my ice cream cart into a ice cream cone while wearing my ice cream uniform. So no, I`m a dermatologist."
Danny blushed as the children started to laugh. Had he known that the entire world was laughing at him he would have died of embarrassment.
"Kids don`t laugh at the boy he made a incredible fall and he is with Raven of the Teen Titans so he`s probably doing some hero stuff. Are you two alright?"
Danny stood up. "Yes I`m fine. Sir could I ask some questions?"
"Sure, don`t know If I can help but I`ll try, Robin."
At being called Robin Danny got a smile on his face. "Could you tell us where we are?"
"You are in the Jump City park."
"Are any of the Teen Titans missing?"
"Uh? No. I don`t think so."
"Could I buy two strawberry ice cream cones."
"Sure! They`ll be on the house."
"No no. I`ll pay." Danny said as he got his wallet.
"Here you go Robin. Enjoy." The ice cream man waved as Danny and Raven walked to a more secluded area.
"We`re being followed."
"I know just let them until we sit down." Danny was following the badly hidden children from the corner of his eyes. When Raven and Danny found a park bench that was hidden by some bushes they sat down.
Danny saw the kids spying on them so he started his plan with giving Raven one of the ice cream cones "So Raven do you really think that eating ice cream will increase the chance of the monster attacking us."
Raven understood what Danny was doing and forced the demonic crackle to leave her voice. "Yes. The more sugar in our blood the more likely the monster wants to drink it."
In the bushes the children were getting nervous because they had a lot more ice cream than the teenagers had.
"You`re sure that those kids are safe? They have a lot more sugar in their systems than we do?"
"Don`t worry I put up a ward." As Raven said this she felt the kids calming down. "Everything outside a twenty foot radius from this bench is safe." And then she felt panic coming from the kids. Because they were inside the danger area.
"Good. This time I`m prepared. I got a whole duffle bag full of grenades. If this monster even thinks of moving towards us it will be blown to hell and back." Danny put a hand in one of the duffle bags and grabbed some rolled up socks.
Raven felt that the kids decided to retreat. So she made her move. "Robin, it's in those bushes!" Raven pointed to the bushes where the kids were hiding.
Danny threw his socks at the bushes "Eat grenade you bloody monster!"
When the kids saw Robin throwing a grenade at them, they started to run and scream. "Aaaaaahhh Grenade!" They were gone in a blink of the eye.
The teenagers took a moment of peace while they were eating their ice cream. "Do I really look like Robin?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, just add some super strength hair gel and subtract the goofy smile and you could be his twin brother. But your personality is a bit different. You`re this weird combination between Robin and Beast Boy that is somehow still functional in society."
"Well, I`m not that functional in society to be honest. I`m pretty much the outcast of the entire school."
"Makes sense seeing your humor."
"What`s wrong with my humor?"
"I think it`s funny. That`s what`s wrong with it."
"Really? There are not a lot of people that like my humor. So how`s the ice cream?"
"Good. Strawberry is my favorite."
"Mine too. But I would`ve been happy with any flavor after four days of frozen and burned deer meat. "
"Yeah, at least the weather was nice."
"This year we`re getting a warm autumn because of the cooler summer."
"The weather is doing weird things these past few years."
"Probably Global warming."
"Yeah, Probably."
A comfortable silence fell between the teenagers while they were enjoying their ice cream.
"Aren`t you guys even a bit curious about being in Jump City. I mean seriously, here you are back home and you two are talking about the weather." Control Freak said.
"Oh hi Bob. how`s it hanging?"
"I wanted a bigger response out of you two."
"We know. That`s why you`re not getting it."
"I knew it! Fine, I`ll just tell you what you're doing here. This Isn`t your world, this is a copy of it. A copy that is a month old."
"Wait! You made a copy of the whole world?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, so?"
"That is incredible. The power needed to do something like that must be immense." Danny was impressed and so was Raven.
"No, not really. You just form a unstable dimension and crystallize the abstract membrane. The dimension then wants to stabilize but can`t because it needs laws of physics. So I provide it with the laws of this world and it will suck in other information like everything on the world. In this process energy is actually generated which I use to manipulate the surroundings."
Raven and Danny looked each other in the eyes and made a similar conclusion. "Bob, that is pure genius. You deserve a Nobel prize."
"Whatever. Anyways, time to tell you about your first mission. You are in Jump City to put your skills to the test. Because in the next few weeks you`ll have to defeat the Teen Titans."
A tree nearby exploded in dark energy. "What?" Raven asked.
"Yeah Bob, you need to be a little more specific. What do you mean defeat the Titans? Do you want us to kill them?"
"No! I don`t want you to kill them. I want you to destroy the Titan tower and have a dramatic fight with them. Which you`ll have to win."
"So you want us to be the villains?"
And with that the screen changed to black.
Jazz Fenton did not look happy. "He`s going to have too much fun with this."
"What do you mean with that Jasmine?"
"You gave my brother a playing ground and game to play. He is going to take this mission and have as much fun with it as possible."
"And how is that a bad thing?"
"Deep down he has this twisted sense of humor and he is going to show it during this mission. He is going to be the best villain the Titans will ever face and with Raven to tell the Titans weaknesses they don`t stand a chance."
"Well, you all heard it folks. The next episodes are going to be interesting. See you next time."
