Chapter 11: Battle
Danny still wasn't awake.
"Tucker I'm worried. Danny hasn't woken up yet. And it's been 8 hours. He should of woke up by now," Sam said, her voice faltering. She placed her hand on her unconsious friend's body feeling extreme heat. She backed up her hand and sighed loudly.
Tucker walked up to her and frowned, "I know. I'm worried too."
"Sam? Tucker? Is Danny awake?" Mrs. Fenton asked from the top of the stairs.
The Fentons had arrived hours ago, stunned to see that their boy was lying limp on a stretcher and that the government was after him. They decided to give him time, since probably Danny was extremely tired.
"He's still sleeping," Tucker replied.
"Okay. Would you like cookies? I'm making a fresh batch now," She answered back.
"Sure Mrs. Fenton." Her footsteps echoed away from the door, growing fainter.
He put a hand on his forehead, closing his eyes, "What's going to happen soon? Danny isn't awake to fight the government and their take him! What are we going to do?"
"Wait," Sam simply replied. She looked at the boy beside her waiting for him to wake.
Danny's eyes opened to a white never ending world. He stood up and searched for any of his family or anyone to talk to.
"Mom? Dad? Jazz?" He almost shouted. He was desperate to see his family. He didn't want to be alone. Was he captured?
"You're not captured. You're safe. Home and secure," The voice sounded happy and it had a tone of laughter.
He looked around himself for the voice. "Who are you?"
"I'm you silly!"
He paused, "Me? But I'm me."
"No you're not. I'm you too. Your past self. I gave you those memories slowly so you wouldn't be caught off. You were so desperate for them that...it was actually kinda funny," The voice laughed.
"Can I see you? I don't want to talk to empty space," As in seconds a boy appeared in front of him. He looked exactly like the picture at the cell. Pure white hair. Neon green eyes. A black and white jumpsuit. And a determined look on his face.
"This good for you?" He grinned. The boy nodded.
"You are me," He spoke at last.
The white haired boy smiled, "Of course I am. Sam, Tucker and Jazz were never lying. That chip in your arm, or our arm, was preventing me from giving you pieces of memory. But after that chip was disabled shortly in the government facility, you know when you broke free of the controlling part of the chip, that gave me a chance to give you your first piece of your past."
"So what happens now?" Danny asked.
Past Danny looked away, "I'm not sure. I just needed to talk to you. The government will be coming at 10 to attack Fenton Works. You need to be ready."
"How? I can't even use my powers. Well I can use them, but I don't know alot about them. I can only use my ghost ray!" Danny complained.
"I know. But that's why this is going to happen," The boy approached Danny slowly and put a hand to his head, "I"m giving you our memories. You'll be back to our old selves. Except for the appearance of course."
He smiled, "Thank you...um...me."
"No problem. Good luck," He whispered and Danny was shot into the white sky.
"danny...dannny...Danny?" Sam said, seeing her friend's blue eyes slowly open. He stared back at her and shot himself into the sitting position.
"I remember," He realized. He looked at his worried friend, "I REMEMBER!" He screamed loudly, bracing Sam into a hug.
"You what?" She asked.
"I remember everything from my past. My childhood, teenage years and you guys. I remember," He whispered, his eyes shut tightly, never wanting to let go.
"Sam you want a cookie?" Tucker asked from the stairs. He was chomping on a cookie when he saw Danny awake. He dropped it and quickly ran over beside them. "What happened?" Danny let go of Sam and smiled widely at him.
"Tuck. I remember," Tucker froze before hugging his friend tightly.
"Congratulations dude!" He said.
He paused, "But there's trouble."
Both teens raised their eyebrows and spoke at once, "Trouble?"
He breathed, "The Guys in White are attacking Fenton Works at 10."
"Time?" Agent H asked, his binocular vision staring at the house before him. It was almost pitch black outside and the breaths of his teammates echoed all around him. They were prepared; More than 5 weapons on each agent and a watch for emergencies. There were 3 helicopters flying around for their command and 4 tanks filled with ectoplasm energy. And for safety they had evacuated everyone from a 500 yard radius from the Fenton's, offering a vacation worth for a week. Everything was set.
"9:52," An agent replied.
He smiled, "Perfect. Just a few minutes and we attack. They'll never know what hit them."
"Everyone ready?" Mr. Fenton asked. He had a weapon blazing in both hands, ready to blast anything keeping him from his family.
"Sure are Mr. Fenton!" Tucker grinned holding up a ecto ray.
"Wow Jack. Have you been more serious lately?" Mrs. Fenton asked from behind him.
He shook his head, "No one endangers the Fentons. And plus I'm loving your new cookies."
She smiled, "Anything for my squeaky-cheeks!" She looked around the living room, searching for her other baby boy, "Where's Danny?"
"Here!" Danny ran down the stairs towards his family and friends. "Sorry to keep you guys waiting. I'm just so relieved I remember. If only I could fix my appearance, everything could go back to normal!"
Sam smiled at her friend, "If only. Now let's kick government butt!"
They marched to the windows, trying to find little objects moving around buildings. The continued to stare until an alarm sounded.
"What's that Dad?" Danny whispered, his eyes wide searching for any life around the room.
"That's if a vehicle or machine is close enough to the house that it would cause danger to us. Something must be closing in," He said quickly walking to a picture frame of the family and flipping its screen up. A red button appeared in its place. He pressed it and said, "Information of alarm."
"Information of alarm: Helicopters approaching. Repeat, helicopters approaching. Also, machine tanks filled with ectoplasm is surrounding, 300 yards," The voice said to the huge man.
He frowned and turned towards his family, "Let's prepare. They're arriving shortly."
"All they want is me. I hate doing this to you guys," Danny muttered, looking away.
Mrs. Fenton went to her son and put a hand to his shoulder, "Don't think that. They do want you but we can stop them. After all the people have the right to make a change."
He smiled, "Thanks."
"It's okay baby. Now do what you need to stop them. We'll have your back," He nodded and walked outside, his hands wide opened, signalling them to come out.
Groups of men came out of the shadows their leader in view. Agent H smiled widely at the halfa's way of making them appear. He put both hands together and tightened his lips, "Ahhh. Phantom. How cocky are you? Coming outside alone and defendless."
He frowned, "You people are really crazy. You bring in helicopters and tanks just to capture me?"
The man's smile faltered, "You are the key to changing the world. You're priceless. We could do so many more things to change the world just because of you."
"Wow. I never knew I could do that. Well I don't care. Where's your boss anyway?" Danny asked, a smirk perking his lips.
"He's-" Agent H started, but soon a helicopter flew overhead loudly, interrupting him. Both peered up at it, Danny's eyes widening.
A man walked near the open door and held up a bullhorn. He had the box near his mouth and spoke loudly, trying to drown out the helicopter's machine sounds, "Right here!"
The copter landed near the house were thankfully no one was at. Men jumped out of the double doors, holding-as usual-ectoplasmic guns. The Sargent walked in front of the crowd, his smile evilish as ever.
"Hello Phantom," He taunted.
Danny backed up a bit, his eyes full of fear, "W-Why are you here?"
He raised an eyebrow at him, "We own you remember? You belong to the government. Besides, the way you've been acting...I think its time to end you. I won't the human race get poisoned by ghost ectoplasm like you."
"I'm not a piece of ectoplasm. Well actually I am, but I'm not gonna hurt anyone. I'm the good guy!" He argued.
The Sargent laughed, "Right. You're nothing to us. Just a waste of human DNA," He brought up a weapon behind him and blasted the boy in the chest, rocketing him towards the brick building. Dust cleared out of the way showing the halfa on his knees, clutching his stinging chest and huffing for breath.
Seeing this made a smile appear, "There's plenty more where that came from."
Danny held on to the building and pulled himself up on his shaky feet. His eyes glowed a fierce green and blue and he launched himself towards the army of ghost hunters.
"We have to help him! He's going to get killed!" Sam screamed. She was biting her lip so hard, she could feel the blood soaking up in her tongue. She desperately wanted to run outside and help him but he had a plan and she had to trust him.
"Not yet. Wait til he gives the signal," Jazz whispered, looking through the curtains of the window. She was as afraid as Sam. She didn't want to see her brother get killed.
She watched as Danny flew quickly towards the group of men, a smile of cockyness covering his lower face. He flew gracefully, shooting a couple of times, never making a mistake towards them. The agents blocked or ran out of the way of the balls of energy, but neither of them gave up.
"Give up?" He smiled, hovering above them.
"Never Phantom. Are you stupid at your powers or are you trying not to hurt us?" One of them spat.
Danny tapped his chin playfully, deciding on what to do, "Um. The second one. I'm good remember?"
"Well so are we! Start up 675-ETD," He shouted behind him.
A metal tank appeared around a building and shot a red beam at its target. Danny screamed as he was blasted into a building, debris following after him. The tall structure crumbled and it collasped.
Sam stared at it as it happened and immediately ran outside towards the destroyed mess of bricks and wood. She started to dig furiously, hoping to find her friend. Salty tears slipped down her face and fell onto the brick under neither her. She screamed his name repeated, hoping for an answer but failing.
The Fentons and Tucker ran outside, every single one holding a face of horror.
Jack frowned and turned to the white suited agents around them and screamed, "What is wrong with the government these days? You killed him!"
The Sargent shrugged, not being able to hide his smile. "It's better if its like this."
"Why you..." He angerly said, ready to grab the man and strangle him but a force interruped him from doing that.
A wave of green light stood in front of him, blinding everyone for a second. As it dimmed it showed the unbruised form of Danny. He smiled. "Didn't even hurt."
The family behind him felt relieve enter them, making them relax. They held up their blazing weapons ready to attack behind their hero.
The Sargent frowned. He didn't have to worry about being outnumbered since that family was outnumbered already but he didn't really want to kill the humans. He wasn't that crazy. He wanted to get rid of that ghost manfestation in front of them. But how? He smiled as a plan formed in his head.
He pointed at them, "You'll regret this Phantom."
Valerie frowned as she flipped around her magazine, searching for something fun to do. Her father was working and her friends were out of town. What could she do?
She felt terrible about what she had done to Danny a few days ago. She already felt bad about it before she did it. He should of been furious, not forgiving! She huffed and dug her face in her pillow. There was nothing to do.
Suddenly the house shook. She raised her head for danger and ran towards the window. Searching for any difference in the area, she decided to fly out in her suit.
Summoning the familiar battle suit, she changed quickly and jumped out the window, her hover board catching her instantly. She flew around her neighborhood and decided on searching the rest of the town.
A flash of green light told her where the shaking was located. Valerie squinted, trying to make her vision anymore clearer. She looked at the streets before widening her eyes. It was at the Fentons!
She flew as quick as possible towards the street, before hiding behind a billboard. She glanced in front of her and saw the damage. A destoryed house and tanks? Helicopters? What's happening, she thought.
Looking down, she spotted hundreds of men that wore white suits and she immediately knew them as the Guys in White. The people they were facing were...the Fentons and Sam and Tucker?
"Woah," She whispered.
"You'll regret this Phantom," A man spoke outloud. She couldn't identify which one spoke but she could tell it was the man in front of everyone. The boss.
"Not unless I interrupt," She uttered. She ran from behind the billboard and summonded her flying board. She pressed a button on the board which blasted the men underneith her.
Shouts of surprise were heard but no screaming told her that she hadn't hurt anyone.
Valerie landed near the Fentons and gave a wide smile. "I heard something and thought I'd investigate," She explained quickly.
Danny gave a grin at her, "Don't worry. The more the merrier."
"Enough!" The Sargent screamed. His red, angered face told everything. He was upset. He pointed at them, and yelled one last word. "ATTACK!"
Danny and his army braced themselves for the upcoming war. His knees buckled but that didn't stop him. He launched himself towards the group of men and blasted them down; weapons and everything.
He continued to blast them down, not caring what would happen to his family nor himself. He wasn't going to be taken again. Not again.
Sam watched the whole thing unravel in front of her. Danny shooting towards the the middle of the government. Mr. and Mrs. Fenton trying to destory the large machines, holding massive amounts of energy. Tucker and Jazz shooting the closest agents around him. Valerie shooting everything that was against Danny; men, tanks, and helicopters.
What was Sam doing? Nothing. She was afraid. Terrible afraid. She was never afraid, but for some reason...she was.
She knew she had to be apart of the action. She hated being on the sidelines. It wasn't her.
Sam bit her lip and stood up, sucking up all the nerves in her body. She grabbed her way and started her way into the mess of war.
Danny screamed as he was banged into the concrete underneith him. Stinging sensations left by the hit were all around his back, making him jolt and gasp a couple times. Laughing from the 'good' agents erupted around him, giving him bits of worry.
"What's that? Can Phantom not handle us?" One agents taunted. More waves of laughter were created, making Danny feel slightly embarassed. He was Danny Phantom, Amity Park's greatest hero after all!
"I c-can handle it. But are you t-this weak?" He spat at them. Many men frowned at him causing him to rethink about his words carefully.
One agent walked further than the others, a deep glare printed on his face. "Really, now? You can't even handle us! You can barely get on your feet without stumbling. What do you call that?"
The halfa frowned. It was true. He couldn't even get up without falling a little towards his face. He held himself on a crumbled piece of debris, holding his stomache before opening his eyes wide. "I CALL THAT MY PLAN!"
They continued to laugh at the boy until he flew towards the leader and grabbed him, throwing him into a wall. The man screamed as he was taken from the ground and was catapulted towards building. He fell down and felt a warm oozy liquid droop from his side. He touched it and could tell what it was. Blood.
"Why you!?" He screamed, standing up and facing the hybrid. He had his hands out in a strangling motion, attempting to kill the boy.
Danny gave a wicked smile at him. "What am I to much for you?"
The men around him, whispered quickly on how to handle the situation. Alot of them backed up, afraid of dying that fast or getting hurt like their friend. Some hestiated but many stood firmly in the crowd, showing they wanted to fight.
"We'll bring you to the ground Phantom!" One shouted.
"You'll be ours soon!" Another screamed.
Danny stratched his head impatiently. "Um...I don't think I'm going to be anyone's soon."
"Danny!" Someone shouted. He looked to the right of him trying to remember who's voice it was. Then it hit him.
A look of horror struck him as he flew as fast as he could to that voice. He ignored all the blasts coming from down below but focused on his flying.
He stopped himself when he saw his mom and dad strapped to the wall, binded by ectoplasm goo, their bodies unable to move. Soon Jazz was captured and so were Sam, Tucker and Valerie. He flew over to them and desperately tried to pull the goo off the wall.
He blasted it and grabbed it, which didn't work. He started to panic but as soon as he was going to make another move, he was grabbed and pulled back away from his family. He screamed as he was pulled all the way towards the agents, landing on his stomach a few feet away.
Danny struggled in the binds, discovering he couldn't break free.
"Calm Phantom. Calm. You don't want something accidentally happening to your parents right?" The hyrbid looked up at them, a face of anger expressing what he was feeling.
"Let them go!" He shouted. He attempted to get up but failed and fell onto his back. Chuckles broke out but were silenced as the Sargent put up a gloved hand up.
"You know...I've been wanting to try something the day you left my labratory. I've been waiting to use it at the right time. And I guess its the right time," He looked at the agents behind him and said, "Hold him down."
They did as they were told. They grabbed the halfa's wrists and feel holding him firmly down on the ground.
Danny tried to use his natural ghost strength to break free but only to fail again. He screamed "Let go of me!" multiple times but nothing ever happened.
The Sargent approached him and gave a wicked smile. He pulled out his black liquid, which was in already in syringe form, and leaned closer to the boy, "Good bye Phantom."
He put the pluncher on the same shoulder where it all first started and pulled the plunger down. The black liquid entered the boy's veins and travelled all around his body.
Danny just felt a cool sensation until it started hurting. Bad. He bit his lip, trying to fight out the screams desperately trying to get out. Pain errupted on his side, making him jolt in pain. He finally released a death sounding scream into the air before opening his glowing eyes and using his vocals more.
He jumped everytime more feeling of pain kicked him in a random spot. Soon he lost track of time of how long he had been screaming.
Soon the pain got worse. But for some reason...Danny felt stronger. His eyes glowed a intense green but still electricity flowed all over his body. He jolted more until white light over whelmed him and his body.
