I do not know anything.
Shadowwriter329 – To be honest, going Xana, as you put it, was unintentional, but after looking at it, I think that Xana may have had some inspiration for the new enemy. Yeah, I figured that since Tucker wasn't becoming a monster, he would be put in danger by his powers.
Desiree will appear, as will another character this chapter.
Yeah, Desiree does grant every wish she hears, literally having no control over it, but I think this was done for comedy to make a powerful opponent easy to beat and to drive home that Danny wasn't that smart. Anyway, here she has no control here.
Guest – To be honest, the thing with Babazita with the trailer filled with stuff was inspired by Grimm, so I think there might be some references there.
SonicMax – Yeah, Tucker tries to kill Danny and all he gets is a cold. I figured that Tucker turning into a monster was a little overused and I realized I was copying it from another author. I decided to take a new angle on it.
Akira45 – thank you
Wolfpackpersonsson09 – With several years between them, Danny won't go through Bayonetta 2, however, the events will be brought up and I will try to expand on the lore of Bayonetta because I feel that some of the history of the Umbra and Lumen clans is unknown as are certain aspects, such as where they got their weapons, and how they form contracts with the infernal demons. I do have an idea to expand with other Capcom series. Maybe a few others, but I don't it to become overcomplicated.
Sarcosmic – thank you for the criticism and I will try to improve. For some reason, whenever I proofread my stuff, some things keep getting by me. Then again, I'm not a perfect author. I think I might stick with my methods for the story for now as I've seen people do it before, including measurements. Plus, I did consider doing this animation style and you know how they like to draw things out. I will apply your advice however to the rest of my story.
Chapter 10: What you want part 3
Danny groaned in pain. Danny stood up slowly, pulling himself from the grass. Danny pressed his hand to his forehead and his eyes widened in shock as he realized he wasn't transformed. He had been beaten by that weird ghost thing that came to life from Tucker's bag. How did it do that, though? Shouldn't his electric attack have been absorbed and not hurt him? Tucker had…
Danny immediately looked around and said, "What the hell happened? Tucker? Tucker!"
Danny felt fear run through is body as he realized Tucker was gone, and there was no sign of where it was.
Danny immediately transformed back into his ghost form and flew into the air. He flew as fast as he could until he found himself near the town. Turning invisible, he flew towards the town. Upon seeing a familiar clocktower, he let out a sigh of relief as he realized it had only been about a half an hour.
"Okay, think Danny," Danny said aloud, "your best friend is missing after the armor he got from a magic genie comes to life. What do I do?"
Danny thought for a minute and then flew to the roof of a nearby building. He pulled out his phone and speed dialed Sam.
After a couple of rings, the phone was picked up.
"Hey, Danny," Sam said, her voice sounding less nasally than yesterday, "What's up?"
Danny gave Sam the situation, though he did so somewhat rushed, so he had to repeat himself.
"Okay," Sam said, "What do you need me for?"
Danny said, "This all started with that Desiree woman. Do any of those books of yours have anything that I can use to find her?"
Danny heard Sam moving on the other side of the phone.
Sam muttered, "Let's see…fairy…fable…fawn…Oh, here we go, genie…refer to djinn."
Danny could hear the sound of pages turning before Sam began reading, "Djinn…inhabit inanimate objects…released when disturbed. Do you know her alignment?"
Danny looked confused and asked, "What?"
Sam explained, "According to this, genies can either be good or bad. Some are subservient and nice while others are deceitful and vicious."
Danny said, "Given that everywhere she's gone she's caused all kinds of chaos I think she' smore prone to causing problems instead of helping people. What do you think?"
Sam said, "It seems that way. It says that they can't bring people back from the dead, force love, or kill people, but they can cause pain and attack people."
Danny said, "What else can you find?"
Sam continued to read and said, "Uh…shapeshifting…reality warping…and…huh?"
Danny asked, "What is it?"
Sam said, "Does she have a lamp or a bottle? If so she might not be able to go that far from it."
Danny said, "No…the bottle was destroyed, and she was unleashed."
Sam responded, "Well, then she's not a normal genie. If her bottle was destroyed she should have died. I did read that ghosts can take on the powers of other magical creatures like genies and sirens. I think Desiree might be this kind of ghost."
Danny said, "Okay, so that means all the rules and things you told me might not apply to her. Great. What do you suggest then?"
Sam was quiet on her end of the phone for a moment and answered, "Try somewhere, where people have wishes, or where they make them. Though, I need to ask, why are you searching for her when you should be looking for Tucker?"
Danny answered, "If Desiree caused this, then she can undo it. I hope. If not, she can at least give me a better idea on what is happening."
Sam said, "I can join you."
Danny said, "Sam you may sound better, but you are still in no condition to go ghost fighting. I'll be fine."
Sam said, "Fine, but just call to let me know what happens."
Danny agreed and proceeded to hang up.
Later at Amity Central Park…
Danny sighed in a mix of frustration and boredom as he sat on a bench. Danny had arrived at central park, hoping that she would be there. Given she granted wishes it seemed logical to come to a wishing well. Danny has seen a few people throw in coins and make wishes, especially kids, but nothing came of it.
Danny checked his phone and saw that he had been her for almost a half an hour.
Danny sighed and thought, 'Okay, this is starting to get stupid. If she's here, she probably should have shown herself by now. Where is she?'
Danny sighed in annoyance and walked over to the well. Reaching into his pocket, Danny pulled out a quarter.
Danny looked around and whispered, "I wish I knew what happened to my friend."
Danny threw his coin into the water with a soft splash. Danny prepared himself, but nothing happened. Danny scowled as he realized he was now twenty-five cents poorer and had done it for nothing.
However, as he turned the fountain water began to give off a light glow. Danny immediately turned around and saw glow. As the water glowed, it split into two spirals. The first image showed Sam sick in bed, looking worried as she ran through her books, occasionally blowing her nose into a tissue.
The other, however, made Danny's blood run cold. It was Tucker, but he wasn't moving. His face as currently scrunched up showing he was in pain and his skin seemed to be paling.
Danny looked concerned as he realized that Tucker was in danger, but he didn't know where. Danny then proceeded to pick out another coin from his pocket and throw it into the fountain. Danny didn't know if it was necessary, but he didn't care at this point.
Danny thought, 'Okay…think…be specific.'
After thinking about his next wish Danny said, "I wish I knew what building my friend and his captor are in."
Danny tossed the coin in. The water glowed again and spiraled revealing a blurry image. It eventually showed a building that Danny wasn't that familiar with. It was a factory with the words Axion Labs written broadly on it. Danny immediately remembered it as he had gone on field trip for a science class, and how a certain A-list member kept bragging about how her dad was a high payed member of the company.
"Cool," a voice said.
Danny turned to see a little girl watching the image who asked, "How did you do that?"
Danny answered, "Trade secret."
With that, Danny stood up and walked away from the fountain. He stopped and whispered, "Thank you."
As Danny left, he didn't see a dark-skinned woman sitting at a bench near the fountain reading a magazine look up from her position, her blue eyes glowing with power. She gave a brief smile before she looked back down at it, waiting for the next person to make a wish.
He also didn't notice a familiar brown-haired girl watching him from the side.
Meanwhile at Axion Labs…
"As you can see," a voice said, "We here at Axion labs take security very seriously."
There were three people walking around the lab, examining the various pieces of technology. There were guards and a few other people keeping an eye out. Everything was also watched by security cameras. Meanwhile, the people working were going through data, examining system, running programs, and all speaking in technobabble that no one could understand.
The tour was being given by a man Caucasian man wearing a dark grey suit, with a white undershirt, a black tie, and glasses. He was balding on the top of his head and was walking with an air of confidence.
With him was a well-built African American man with black hair, turquoise eyes, black-framed half-moon glasses, a white polo shirt with a red tie, black business pants, and shoes.
"However, I feel that our security has gotten behind lately," he said, "With our latest project being close to being completed, I believe that an increase in security would be necessary. That is why I called you Mr. Gray."
The larger man said, "So you want me to improve your security. I understand your reasoning, but I don't see why this is necessary. Axion is one of the most fortified companies in the state. I don't see why this would be necessary."
Suddenly, the doors to the lab were blown open. Damon immediately shield his employer from the blast. Thankfully, they only had to worry about a few small pieces of debris. The guards near it weren't so lucky as they were sent flying and harshly hit the ground.
Damon and the Axion manager stared at the door.
The familiar jack-o-lantern-like face glowed from the smoke as the possessed Tucker walked in. He disregarded the guards as they lay on the ground. One of them, still conscious, reached for his walkie and pressed a panic button, sending a silent alarm to the rest of the guards in the building.
"Axion Labs," he said, his metallic voice making the blood of a few people freeze, "such advanced technology so beautiful. I shall make it mine!"
As the mechanical man approached the computers walking past Damon and his employer, not even regarding them. He approached one the computers, the technician there frozen in fear before being carelessly swatted aside. His eyes glowed slightly brighter as the computer began to glitch up and freeze and a familiar eye symbol appeared on the screen.
"Freeze!"
The possessed teen turned machine looked up as he saw he was surrounded by several guards. Nearly two dozen of them total. Several were on the walkways above them, while others were on the same level as him. The ones that weren't aiming guns at him were aiming getting the various scientists and technicians away from the fight scene.
"On your knees with your hands on your head! If you do not comply we will use lethal force!
The mechanical being scoffed as the circles on his palms glowed. He then clapped his hands together unleashing a sonic wave that knocked the guards backwards, shattering their guns. The guards that weren't caught in the blast opened fired on it. The bullets bouncing off his body and falling to the ground dented but useless.
The mechanical man raised his hand up and his palm glowed. This time the bullets stopped in midair right before hitting him.
"Hold your fire!" the commanding guard yelled seeing what was happening.
The guards stopped firing as they saw the bullets now floating helplessly around him.
"I believe these are yours," he said maliciously as the bullets were suddenly shot back at the guards, some getting caught in their bullet proof vests, some saved by their helmets, and others getting shot in the arms or legs. None of them were fatal.
"Pathetic meat bags," he said disdainfully as he turned his attention back to the computer. However, he was slightly upset to see that the computer, and several others, had been destroyed by gunfire.
"Drat…no matter. Most likely this wouldn't have had access to the R&D files anyway. Now then…where to go to find it?"
A familiar voice said, "How about anywhere but here?"
The man turned and saw Danny phasing through the wall.
"You are more resilient than I thought," the mechanical man said, "By my estimates that should have knocked you out hours ago."
Danny said, "Looks like you aren't always right. Now tell me where Tucker is."
Danny was surprised when his opponent laughed.
"That pathetic meat bag isn't going to be a concern for much longer. As for you boy, I suggest you turn around leave. I don't have any reason to waste time coming to blows with a caveman."
With that, the mechanical ghost turned only for Danny to grab him by the cape, yank him back, and then throw out a punch that knocked his skull to the side. Danny winced as he felt the metal strike his gloves. He ignored the pain and threw out another one with the opposite hand with the same result. Danny then proceeded to grab the ghost by his skull and then throw him across the room where he struck the opposite wall with his back, forming cracks in the thick concrete.
Danny said, "Too bad. I didn't come here to be insulted by a wannabe Ultron. I'm here to get my friend and you are going to tell me what you did with him!"
The mechanical ghost turned towards Danny. Suddenly, the smile on his face warped and was replaced with a scary-looking scowl.
"Very well," he said, "if you want your pathetic friend back so badly, then you can have him. However, you'll have to go through me to do so."
"Quite literally," he thought while he formed electric energy claws on his hands.
He then said, "However…I'm in need of a new name. My…creator's original name of the Tech Master doesn't seem to fit me…I rather like the name…Xana."
The newly dubbed Xana charged forward his claws glowing brightly as he swung his claws, energy covering them.
Danny move to the right avoiding the claws on his hand, he felt a tingling from them and felt his hair stand on end. He realized that they were laced with electricity.
Danny dodged another claws swipe and countered with a punch to the gut. The mechanical ghost stumbled backward from the force of the blow, but as Danny attacked, he pivoted lashing out with a round house to the face.
Danny bent backwards, performing the limbo, to avoid the attack, only for the mechanical ghost to shoot up and swing his hands down, gabbing Danny by the chest and sending an insane amount of voltage through his body.
Danny screamed in agony as electricity course through his body.
Danny grimaced in pain as he tried to stand up, only for the ghost to grab his face.
"Surprised?" Xana asked, "You should have learned more about your powers boy. I was able to deduce that your electrical powers work like a fuse, or battery. You can only take so much electricity before you can absorb no more."
Xana then unleashed a duo of swift punches to Danny's midsection making the boy cough and hack up some green goo. He then proceeded to unleash a blast of energy nearly point blank, sending Danny rolling backwards and slamming through a still intact desk.
Danny groaned in pain as he stood up, struggling slightly.
Danny then decided it would be a good idea to follow Xana's advice. Danny focused energy into his hands and summoned his powers forming two balls of electric energy in each hand. Danny threw both hands out, launching them.
Xana simply crossed his arms forming a dome shield around him. The two blasts splashed against the shield, sending streaks of lighting. Danny acted quickly, turning intangible and flying underground. Danny then shot up from the floor and delivered a brutal uppercut.
Xana was sent flying upwards into the air. He then proceeded to activated special jets in his boots and hidden under his cape, keeping him aloft. He threw out his arms and his cape split into five tails. Each one moved of their own accord like tentacles forming bladed edges. The pieces then shot forward towards Danny. Danny flew backwards, narrowly avoiding the weapons.
Xana didn't give Danny a chance to respite, as while the cape pieces were trying to skewer him, he was charging energy into his arms.
When the last tail slammed into the ground, he unleashed the blast. Danny threw up his arms and fired a blast of his own. Both bright green beams slammed into each other. The two struggled for a moment, but it didn't last long. One of Xana's cape tails lashed out and wrapped stabbed into an outlet, draining power from it.
The robotic ghost's body powered up and the beam became stronger. Danny was unable to react in time and was suddenly blasted backwards with a loud boom as he crashed into the wall, resting amongst nearly melted concrete and metal in a crater.
Xana laughed as his cape reformed and he walked towards Danny. He then grabbed the boy by his neck and lifted him into the air by his neck.
"Just give up boy," Xana said, "I've wasted enough time playing games with you. I am stronger, smarter, and more equipped than you."
As Xana was mocking him, Danny focused what remained of his electrical powers into his hand, holding out his fingers. Danny brought his arm up and swung them like he was performing a karate chop.
Xana stumbled backwards as he felt the electrical energy cut through his chest, leaving a thick gash. Danny didn't give Xana a chance to recuperate as he started wailing on the mechanical ghost, leaving small dents in his chest, shoulder, and stomach.
Danny then focused energy into his hands and threw a brutal shot that mixed his recently discovered energy beam with his electrical powers. The blast knocked the ghost's head to the side and sent out a concentrated energy beam that crackled with lightning. The beam tore off a portion of Xana's face and sent him stumbling backwards.
Danny panted as he stood up and said, "Still think we're playing games, metal man."
The ghost turned back to Danny, the portion of his face still missing. Danny's eyes widened when he made out dark skin, the side of a pair of broken glasses, and a piece of a red hat before metal was repaired and covered him.
"Tucker?" Danny asked shocked.
Xana chuckled and said, "About time you figured it out, boy. Your friend is inside of my body. Sadly, I still have need of that little meat bag. Soon though, I will have no need of him…what would I need with a corpse?"
Danny growled as he focused energy into his hands for another blast.
However, Xana held up his hand and said, "Are you sure you want to do that? After all, if you do anything to me the boy gets fried as well."
Danny's eyes widened in horror as he realized that he was right. If he did something strong enough, it would kill him for sure.
Xana took advantage of Danny's distraction. There was flash of light as a sword materialized in his hand. He swung it, cutting through Danny's suit and his chest, leaving a bloody wound. Danny let out a scream of pain, which only intensified after Xana delivered a swift combo, two swift punches with his free hand and another with the butt of his sword.
Danny flew back and slid across the ground before coming to a stop. Danny lost consciousness from the pain, his shirt now stained red with blood from his still bleeding wound.
Xana scoffed and said, "Pathetic boy. Now then…oh yes…let's see. I wonder where I can get access to some real weapons?"
Xana then left the room, leaving Danny to die from his wound.
Danny in the meantime had his vision swimming from the pain. His vision was fading in and out. He could feel his body become cold as the world began to darken. Familiar white rings repeatedly appeared and disappeared as Danny was barely holding himself together.
"…is this it?"
Danny could have sworn he heard a voice in the back of his mind. However, he felt himself be lifted. His head was being elevated and turned. He could feel something soft and tasting of cherries press against his lips and a soft feminine hum. Danny felt his body become warm as the pain faded and his wound healed.
Danny sighed as he looked up at a very pretty face.
"Are you an angel?" Danny asked.
The female giggled and said, "If I was an angel, you'd have to be dead."
Danny's eyes widened at that remark and shot up, almost headbutting the girl. Danny then took a couple of steps back and drank in the appearance of his apparent savior, and he couldn't help, but blush from her attire.
She was about his age, was curvier than normal girls, and she was flaunting it. She wore a red unitard, or what Danny thought was one, that revealed the tops of her shoulders and some of the top her chest, with a diamond cut out underneath her bust. Her legs were covered in light blue stockings that had dark blue bats decorating them, and red high heel boots. Her arms were covered in long sleeves that left her hands bare and her upper shoulders. Her hair was short and purple, and her eyes were red and held an amount of mirth in them. On her back was a large pair of draconic, or demonic, wings that had dark red skin and black membranes. There was a similar pair on her head, only smaller.
"Take a picture, it will last longer," the girl said bringing Danny back to reality and to blush in embarrassment when he realized that he was staring.
"Sorry," Danny said, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
The girl cocked her head to the side and said, "Being a bit ungrateful to the girl who just saved your life aren't you? I just pulled you back from death's door and you don't even give out a proper thank you?"
Danny grumbled and said, "Thanks for saving my life, now who are you?"
The girl scoffed and said, "Are you always so rude? Anyway, my name is Aensland. Lilith Aesland…now what is a boy like you doing in a place like this?"
Danny said, "I'm not sure how that is any of your business lady."
Lilith walked forward and looked Danny in the eye as she said, "I just came here and saved your life, little man. I think it is safe to say, that I've made this my business."
Danny sighed and asked, "What do you gain out of this?"
She answered, "Nothing. It's an afternoon and I'm bored out of my mind. I heard the explosions and thought, this might be interesting. I got here just in time to see that sigma rip off slash you across the chest. Now I'm being interrogated by someone who should be grateful."
Danny sighed and said, "Thanks for saving me, that I do appreciate. However, I kind of have a problem with that sigma rip off."
Lilith smiled and said, "Maybe I could help. It did seem like you were having trouble taking him down."
Danny said, 'Look there is someone trapped in there. If I don't get him out of there soon, he may die. I don't like the idea of that. Unless you have a gigantic can opener on you, I don't think that will work."
Lilith raised an eyebrow as she turned on her heel, on the wings on her back contorted as skin turned to metal in a flash of movement. The metal appendage shot out and sliced through the wall, leaving a thick slash mark in the thick concrete.
Danny stared in shock for a moment then his eyes turned to Lilith who asked, "Will that work?"
Meanwhile…
Xana walked down the hall, a smirk on his face as he made his way down the hall. He soon found himself at a thick metal door.
"Hmm…what do we have here?"
The mechanical ghost walked towards it, only to get hit in the back by something. He growled in anger and said, "You just don't know when to quit, do you boy?"
He turned towards the source and was surprised to see that Danny wasn't alone.
"And who is this?"
Lilith crossed her arms under his chest and said, "I don't see how that's any of your business."
The woman got in a stance and shot forward, launching a ball of energy that transformed into a bright green bat with hearts surrounding it. The bat slammed into Xana's chest knocking him backwards and slamming him into the iron doors.
Danny shot forward and grabbed Xana by the chest, throwing him as hard as he dared, sending the machine rolling.
Xana growled and fired an electric blast. Danny caught the blast and absorbed it, showing he could absorb electricity again. Danny then proceeded to slam both hands against the sides of Xana's head and unleashing a short burst of energy around his head. Xana was stunned, and his didn't last long.
Lilith shot forward swinging her wings as they turned into blades, slicing through the material of the robotic ghost's cape. She then grabbed it and wrapped the material round the mechanical ghost's head.
The ghost activated his eyes, changing them to infrared, seeing through them. He lashed out, but Danny reacted, punching him in the face.
"Sorry if this hurt you Tuck," Danny thought.
Xana tried to move only for Lilith to create a copy of herself. The newly formed duo then proceeded to transform their wings into blades and slash away at the armor. Danny winced at the sight, but relaxed when he saw that there wasn't any blood.
The trio, Danny, Lilith, and her clone, proceeded to grab the metal ghost by his body and pull them apart, revealing Tucker beneath. Danny then proceeded to grab his friend and rip him out of the humanoid metallic prison.
Without a body to hold him together, the ghost fell to the ground his body moving around like slime. It moved towards Lilith. The girl simply smirked as her eyes glowed and a flock of bats made of crimson energy formed around her blasting away the beast.
Danny took advantage of the moment. He reached into Tucker's bag and pulled out the Fenton Thermos. He aimed it at the ghost sucking it up with a scream.
Danny let out a breath and turned to Tucker. He lifted his friend. He was pale and cold to the touch.
"Tucker? Tucker?" Danny asked, his voice rising in panic.
Lilith said, "Here, I got this."
Lilith took Tucker into her arms. She then moved forward and kissed Tucker's forehead. There was a bright flash as energy covered them both. Unknown to Danny, Lilith was building up a special liquid that formed in her body and focusing them into her lips This liquid was currently healing Tucker.
She separated from the boy, who moaned as he tried to wake up.
"Oh man," Tucker said, "What a dream."
Tucker then saw Lilith and asked, "When did we get to a modelling agency?"
Outside…
Danny, Tucker, and Lilith immediately fled the building as the police arrived. They were taking statements of the witnesses. From what Danny heard, it sounded like they were covering it up saying that a test with some new technology had gone wrong. Apparently, he didn't want anyone to know that a rogue machine had tried to take over his body.
The group landed on a building as Danny finished explaining what happened.
"I turned into a supervillain," Tucker said, "I'm so sorry Danny."
The ghost boy said, "It's okay Tucker. It was that thing that took you over. You have nothing to apologize for. I'm just glad this is over."
Tucker said, "I wouldn't bet on it. Desiree is still out there, and with how powerful she is she could cause problems."
Lilith said, "Yeah, and don't forget the purple-haired beauty who saved your lives."
Tucker and Danny then turned towards Lilith, now remembering her presence.
Tucker smiled and said, "Oh yeah, hi I'm Tucker Foley. TF as in Too Fine."
Lilith let out a laugh and said, "Sorry…that…that was just so bad."
Tucker nodded and said, "Yeah, I know. Now I'm beginning to see why girls tend to slap me when I use it."
The girl smiled and said, "The names Lilith Aensland. I'm new in town."
Danny said, "Now what do we owe you. I know you didn't do this out of the kindness of your heart."
Lilith smiled and said, "Don't worry your cute little head over it, spooky. I came because I was bored. Besides it isn't every day that you get to fight a parasitic robot ghost."
She took off into the air, flapping her large wings.
"See you around boys," she said as she flew off.
Danny nodded and said, "In the meantime, we better get home."
Tucker said, "You can stay over. I might need some help with my history homework. Not to mention, its leftover night and mom made meatloaf yesterday."
Danny smiled, grabbed his friend, and they took off into the air. As they flew, Danny couldn't help but glance over at his friend, who seemed so carefree despite his near-death experience…for them both. What would have happened if Lilith hadn't shown up? Danny shook his head as he focused on flying. He decided to think on what might have happened later.
Meanwhile…
Lilith flew around until she arrived in the nicer part of town. After making sure that nobody was looking, she landed gracefully on the second-floor balcony of her home. She entered the home and in a flock of bats, transformed. Her hair went from purple to brown as her skintight suit transformed into a comfy pair of sweats.
A voice said, "You've been busy, little sis."
The newly transformed Lilly smith smiled at her sister and said, "Hey Morrigan. Guess who I ran into?"
Cut! Okay with that, What You Want comes to an end. Danny and Tucker officially have their first near-death experiences and now there are two ghosts on the loose in Amity Park. Now, some of you may see that Desiree was manipulating her wishes to her will. There is a reason for that, but it will be explained later. She also didn't get much screen time as Danny was more concerned with fighting and saving Tucker from the now named Xana.
Speaking of which, Xana is the first of my OC characters. However, I won't be using OC characters very much, as they may take over the story. There will be a profile for him at the end of the note here.
We also have the exposure of Lilith Aensland, the first of the Darkstalkers. You can expect a few more Capcom characters to show up and be there. Darkstalker's obviously, and I have ideas for a few more.
Constructive criticism is welcome, flames are ignored.
