Chapter 9: Silver wings of life and death
Deep in the ghost zone, a dark figure holding a thermos smiles. He throws the thermos and destroys it with what seems a feather. From the smoke an evil laughter was heard. When it cleared, the form of a ghost with flaming white hair, red eyes, and fangs, stood before the stranger. "You know who I am and you know what you must do," said the stranger. The ghost smiled and said "Yes, It will be my pleasure." The smile in the stranger grew wider as he handed another thermos to the ghost saying "I got this so you can remain hidden; don't reveal your self unless necessary." Wings of silver coloring and blood stains sprouted from his back as the ghost yelled laughing
"DANNY PHANTOM, YOUR FUTURE IS COMING TO GET YOU!"
Danny, Cronos, Sam, Nephilim, and Clockwork, were gathered in the small library in Crono's house. They were waiting while Cronos looked through the shelves. "Found it," he said, "it contains some info on you Danny." Danny looked curiously at the book; he still had trouble believing anyone could see the future in his dreams. "What kind of info?" he asked. Cronos sat and opened the book.
"Silver feathers filled the sky, three figures hanged in mid air. It looks like a two on one battle. One of them lifted his hand and the enemy figured changed into someone else and attacked the third. A forth figured darted from the ground and took the blow disappearing from the scene. The third glowed with silver light that grew to cover everything."
Cronos closed the book and Danny quickly asked "What does it have to do with me?" "The third guy is you Danny, I'm a hundred percent sure of it," Cronos answered. "What does it mean, Cronos?" asked Sam. "That's the problem," he answered. "I don't know how to interpret the dream. Some happen and some are symbolic, if not a mix of both." "Then what you make of it?" asked Nephilim. The boy closed his eyes and answered "Someone is going to sacrifice himself."
Almost a week has passed with out a sign of any sort of danger. They used this time to get to know each other better, especially Cronos. In little time he had told them the stories of their own life, which pretty much cleared all doubts of his 'dreaming' abilities. During lunch time they gathered, Tucker included, and Cronos laid his powers in front of them.
"Basically, I control time," he said in a most common way. The others were stunned and it was Tucker who broke the silence. "Dude, that is so awesome! Still, time isn't a very offensive power." Cronos laugh at the boy second statement and said "You play to much video game. Think, by concentrating my abilities in one spot I can unleash a massive time disruption that can literally wipe my foe out of existence." "You can do that to anyone?" asked Nephilim in an almost scare voice. "No," he replied, "Danny and the other winged empowered are immune to one hit kills. Actually Danny and his personal enemy are almost immortal." The others were silence once more. The whole winged warriors story still ranged in their minds.
One day God and Lucifer stopped the constant war between them. In the middle of the battlefield they met and talked with each other. They agreed to one final battle, a battle to decide who will influence Earth, four warriors each and a fifth one to shake the tides of battle. Part of the agreement was that only once they could interfere, no more. These warriors were scattered in time and space, to be united by will and fate. Wings shall they have, some pure and others stained with blood. Union they shall bring, for better and worse, yet unnoticed until the end they shall be. The maidens love shall free them if capture, for a missing heart is nothing without its partner. Time shall open the gift of space, but its life and death that is the key to a holy blessing.
As incomprehensible as it is, Clockwork confirmed that it was all truth. One way or another everything in it have or will come to pass. "Anyway, today that whole battle between 'good and evil' won't keep me down, right Danny?" asked Tucker. "Uh, right?" answered Danny obviously not knowing what Tuck was talking about. Tucker looked angry at him and asked "You do remember that you promise to come with me to get the new PDA model?" "NO, yes I remember. Right after school," he quickly said. The school bell rang and they went to their classes.
Cronos and Nephilim were walking together towards Nephilim's house. It was already four in the afternoon. Suddenly Cronos stopped in his tracks and Nephilim looked at him. His eyes had changed colors, from emerald green to sapphire blue. He snapped out of it and started running towards the city yelling at Nephilim "Danny is in danger!"
Tucker, Danny and Sam were coming out of the computer store, Tuck was as happy as little kid on Christmas. Suddenly the merchandise of the store blasted outside forming a giant robot. "I am Technus version 2.0, fear my mechanized mayhem!" cried the robot as it started to destroy the building in front of him. Danny quickly went into the alley and transformed into Danny Phantom. He flew into the battle and blasted at the robot's legs. "Oh fiddlesticks, why didn't I see that coming," said Technus as he felt on his legs. But from the cloud of dust that form in the fall came out another robot that had taken the form of a tank for his lower body and laughing he said "Or maybe I did!" The tank started to blast Danny with all it got. He was able to dodge a few but the robot accuracy grew, sending him hard to the ground. "Now ghost boy," said Technus as he pointed at Danny, "it's time to permanently delete you." Before he could blast a shadow cut the tank barrel, provoking an internal explosion. From the smoke Technus went flying into safety, smiling.
Danny saw in amazement when a furry figure came out of the smoke. "Wolf! You're back!" yelled Danny. The werewolf like ghost came closer to Danny with a strange smile. "Wow, I never thought I would see you again!" said Danny walking around him. Wolf smile grew wider and said "Me too." Wolf jumped out of the way as a golden sphere appeared where he stood. Danny fell back and yelled "Wolf!"
The werewolf was again walking towards Danny and in front of him another golden sphere appeared. "Danny, get away from him!" yelled Cronos floating down with his wings in full splendor. When he touched ground he took a feather in his hand and pointed towards Wolf. "So you figure it out, huh," said Wolf with a smirk. "No matter, that way I'm not restrained to this flea bag's powers." Cronos' feather glowed and he appeared an inch away from the werewolf. "Cronos don't harm him!" yelled Danny who just started flight towards them. Time slowed down as Cronos quickly place a feather in Wolf and said "Time, return him to his true form!" This time the golden sphere enveloped Wolf and afterwards a ghost with flaming white hair and red eyes was expelled from the sphere. The ghost laughed and stood up. "At least now I'll have more of a challenge," he said as silver wings with blood stains sprouted from his back. A shadow was behind him and he pointed towards Cronos saying "Death, cover him with your shadow!" And it did, the shadow launched it self towards Cronos, but he didn't move. The shadow barely passed a millimeter from his faced and Cronos realized. Danny! With his powers still dormant, he might not survive an instant death blow! He turned his body around, and heard a scream. It was Danny over Tucker's cold body. The sacrifice! Danny's eyes were full of tears as a silver glow surraund him. Beautiful silver wings sprouted from his back and partially enveloped his body. "I hate you! Hell's Gate!" he yelled as he sends a single feather in front of his evil counter part. From it, a giant stone door appeared and opened; hundreds of shadow like arms grab the evil ghost and drag him inside, all his efforts for freedom were useless, even phasing. The door closed and after a second it opened again, practically spitting the evil one out.
Trembling, the ghost slowly stood up and said "Why you little fool, you shall pay for that!" He jumped at Danny. Cronos raised his hand, with a feather on it and yelled "Stop!" A golden glow surrounded Danny's evil future, stopping him in mid air right in front of Danny.
"Danny, think, only you can send him to the farplane," said Cronos in a serious tone. Farplane, thought Danny. A place he has heard of only twice in his live and it still felt a great familiarity with it.
"That's were the soul of living beings go when they die," said a voice inside his head. It was a familiar voice but he didn't recognize it, it wasn't Cronos, the only person that had talked to him by thought. Then who was it? "I'm you," said the voice.
In the darkened world inside of Danny's mind they stood, in front of each other, the white haired hero and the black haired school boy, starring at each other for the first time. Yet neither of them was surprised. "I guess I always knew you were someone else," said Fenton. Phantom looked angry at him and said "I am you, you are me. We share the same spirit and soul, but we have different bodies." Fenton looked away from his other self's gaze and said "I don't deserved to be a hero. I couldn't stop my best friend from sacrificing himself for me." Phantom walked towards him and grabs his arm saying "Look at me, don't you think I care!" Fenton felt something cold in his cheek and raised his head to see Phantom crying. "If you want to save him, you must defeat my old future self," he said between tears. "You feel responsible, don't you?" asked Fenton. The white haired boy let go of Fenton's arm. "I don't know how to?" continued Fenton. "Trust me; you do, because I know."
Danny snapped back to reality and slammed his hand into the ground yelling "Life stream geyser!" A column of water full of pyroflies blasted from the ground, taking in its path Danny's future self. The blast freed him from Cronos' spell but the water had him, he couldn't get away. The soft moans of the pyroflies were ringing in the ears of those near. It was then that he realized his situation. He had lost; the water was taking away his power, his energy. After a mere few minutes his evil body exploded into many pyroflies.
Sam went running to Danny and gave him a hug full of tears. Danny gently pushed her aside and took a feather from his wings. He placed it over Tuckers' body and yelled "Heavens' Gate!" A column of light rose from where Tuckers, body was. Once it stopped Tucker was there, in his feet, starring at Danny in awe. A multitude gather around the four teens, eventually Nephilim joined them. Danny looked at Cronos and he nodded. Cronos took a feather and yelled "Return to the past now!" A bright sphere started to grow from the feather and cover the whole world.
They now where in the exact same spot they were at lunch today, the world was frozen around them. Yet it didn't bother them, they were too caught up on what had or will happen today. Clockwork appeared behind Cronos in his adult form and said "I believe it's time to look for the others."
