Chapter 12: a friend returned?
Danny placed his hands on Sam's shoulders and slowly pushed out of the embrace. Sam moaned slightly at losing Danny, but stepped back and gave the boy some room.
"Okay," Danny said, "I might as well go ahead and ask…how are you here? I mean you were blown up and scattered all over the place."
Sam giggled a bit and answered, "Its simple Dan-Dan. Daddy gave me a new chance at life."
Danny raised an eyebrow and asked, "Daddy?"
Sam nodded before continuing, "Yep. He gave me a new chance at existence. More power, and a new body. Speaking of which…what do you think?"
The plant girl did a little spin in her outfit giving Danny a good look at her curves. Much to Danny's embarrassment, and Raven's jealousy, he had a little trouble pulling his eyes away from them.
"You…uh," Danny said, "look good."
Sam smiled and said, "Thanks. I'm glad you approve. I got this for you Danny…all for you."
Beast Boy grinned and said, "Dude…you know how to pick 'em."
Danny glared at the boy.
"Danny," Sam said, "We need to talk about something important. Meet me at central park about 7. Come alone. I want it to be just the two of us."
The girl placed a quick kiss on Danny's cheek before she flew back up into the flower and then sank under the ground as it close she gave a little wave goodbye.
Danny stared at the spot on the ground where the flower had sank. Danny's thoughts were currently a whirlwind. His friend was back from the dead? She was a ghost too? Who was this daddy she kept on talking about? Danny was brought out of his thoughts when he felt Beast Boy slap him on the back.
"Dude," the changeling said, "if things don't work out with your friend can I have a shot at her?"
Raven walked up behind Beast boy and smacked him over the side of the head.
"Who was that friend?" Starfire asked curiously.
"Her name is Sam Manson," Danny said, "She was one of my best friends, and she died in the accident that claimed the rest of my friends and family."
"So what are you going to do now?" Robin asked, "We can't tell if she's a villain or not."
Danny rubbed his chin and said, "I think I'll meet her tonight. She's my friend it's the least I can do."
Raven shook her head and said, "I don't think that's a good idea."
Beast Boy got up from being knocked on the ground and said, "Aww…is little Raven jealous?"
Raven turned an icy glare to the green skinned titan. Said titan then turned into a rat and escaped into a nearby sewer drain.
"I'm not sure we can trust her," Raven said, "There was something off about her. Something that I've felt before."
Robin looked at Danny and said, "Danny I'm not really sure if meeting her is a good idea. For all you know it could be a trap."
Danny shook his head and said, "She was one of my best friends. I'm pretty sure we can trust her."
Robin shook his head. He had said the same thing with an old friend of theirs. In the end she betrayed them. She left Beast Boy heartbroken and left the team in a very angry state.
After a few minutes of thinking Robin sighed and said, "Fine…you can meet her, but if something goes wrong call us immediately."
Danny nodded and smiled thankfully at the boy wonder.
Later around 7...
Danny stood in central park. He looked at his watch at saw that it was 7. He looked around and saw that Sam wasn't there. He was about to leave when he felt a pair of slender arms reach around him and cover his eyes.
"Guess who?" a familiar voice said.
"Sam Manson," Danny said. It was more of a statement than a question.
"Ding! We have a winner."
Danny turned around to see Sam in the same outfit she had worn earlier. The only difference was hs ehad a purple flower growing on the bosom of her dress.
"So what is it you want to talk about Sam?" Danny asked.
"Everything," Sam said, "I want to know what you've been up to."
Danny told Sam about hwat had happened after she had died. How he destroyed Dan and how he had joined the titans. Sam seemed a little miffed when he brought up the meeting with the fan girls and the kiss he had with Monique. She was happy to hear that he was happy after the incident and that he had gained a few new powers.
"So Sam," Danny said as he finished his story," How did you get all these powers anyway."
Sam looked at Danny and said, "Do you remember all those times we came into contact with ghosts? Well when a ghost uses a human in anyway they leave behind an ecto signature. You know, like leaving a fingerprint. Well, I have plant powers from the time Undergrowth possessed me. The powers, however, don't usually manifest until the human is dead. In the case of a halfa it just takes longer to pop up."
Danny rubbed his chin and thought, 'That would explain how I have Vortex's storm powers.'
"Danny," Sam said, "There's something I've always wanted to say. I…I love you."
Danny looked at Sam with a look of surprise and asked, "You love me?"
Sam smiled and said, "More than anything."
Danny stared at Sam. Suddenly all the reasons why she got all moody when he dated Paulina and Valerie made sense.
"Danny," Sam said, "I've always loved you. Please come with me. I can make you really happy. Plus, Daddy can help you master your powers."
Danny looked into Sam's eyes. The girl moved forward in an attempt to kiss him. Sadly, Danny phased out of her grip making her stumble a bit.
"Sorry Sam," Danny said, "but I don't feel the same way."
Sam stared at Danny and said, "What?"
Danny shook his head, "I'm sorry Sam, but I just don't feel the same way about you. You're nice and all, but we've been friends since Kindergarten, and I just don't see you as anything more than a friend."
Sam stared at Danny and said, "Just a friend."
Danny nodded.
"Just a friend?"
Danny turned to Sam with a raised eyebrow.
"JUST A FRIEND!"
Sam sent out a wave of ecto energy that knocked Danny off his feet.
"GRR!" Sam roared, "I can't believe this! I try everything to get your attention! I deal with you going all googley eyed over two other girls! I wait for you for a long time, and when I finally admit my feelings you tear my heart out!"
Danny back up and said, "Sam…c-calm down."
Sam screamed, "Calm down? I don't wan to calm down!"
The plants around Sam seemed to come to life. From the ground burst those large plant monsters that Danny and his team had fought the day before.
"Its because of that Goth wannabe whore on your team isn't it?" Sam yelled, "Or is it that orange skinned bimbo? You know I pride myself on being an individual Danny, but unlike most individuals…I DON'T TAKE REJECTION WELL!"
Giant roots shot out of the ground and flew at Danny. The ghost/human hybrid flew into the air avoiding as many of the roots as he could. A few roots grew thorns and fired. Danny formed a small shield in front of him blocking the attacks.
Danny flew away and whipped out his communicator. He pressed the button and said, "Guys its all gone south! I need some help out here!" Danny avoided another blast of thorns. "And make it snappy!"
Danny was then swatted out of the air by a tree branch knocking him to the ground. The ghost kid caught himself and landed hard forming a crater. Danny shook himself to clear the cobwebs.
Sam floated in front of Danny her normally amethyst eyes burning with green fury.
"Now Sam listen to me-"
Danny was cut off by Sam firing an ecto blast from her hand. She then ran in forming a wooden staff in her hands. She swung the staff with incredible skill. Danny managed to dodge a few of the strikes before performing a Matrix move by bending backwards. At that moment Danny brought his head up slamming her forehead into Sam's.
Sam jumped back clutching her head. Danny was gripping his head too and said, "Not the best idea."
At that moment The other titans arrived.
"Let me guess," Cyborg said, "You told her you just saw her a friend."
Danny looked at the half machine hero sheepishly and said, "Maybe."
Starfire nodded and said, "I may not know much of Earth customs, but I do not believe that was a good thing to say."
"Ditto," Raven said.
Beast Boy looked at Danny and said, "Dude you never say that to a girl. Especially if the girl has superpowers."
Danny groaned and said, "I'm sorry. I'm that skilled when it comes to women."
Sam recovered from Danny's head butt and glared at him. Her glare increased even more when she saw Starfire and Raven.
"All right Danny," she said, "I've decided that if I can't have you…nobody can!"
Sam formed more of those plant monsters.
"Titans Go!" Robin yelled.
Cyborg pulled out his sonic cannon and fired destroying one of the plant monster. Another one snuck behind him and pounced on his back.
"Get this thing off me!" Cyborg yelled as he felt the thing trying to dig it's claws into his back. The robot launched himself backwards and slammed it into tree. Cyborg then grabbed a bench and swung it around tearing off the things head.
Beast boy turned into a lion and started tearing into all of the creatures in his path. When a pack of them jumped him he turned into an elephant effectively knocking them away. Then he turned into T-Rex and stomped on them crushing them like insects.
Starfire was making good use of her star bolts and laser eyes. Just one blast from either turned them into mulch. When she wasn't looking she was pounced on by a bunch of them and then got caught in a dog pile by a bunch more. After a few seconds of that she fired a huge blast of green energy that incinerated each of them.
Raven was basically just throwing them left and right with her telekinetic powers. She would also fire black energy blasts at them to destroy them. It proved surprisingly effective against them.
Robin turned one of his bird-a-rangs into a sword and was slicing away. He also threw the occasional energy disk that destroyed whatever monster it came into contact with.
Danny was using a combination of eye lasers and energy blasts to set fire to the little monsters. Danny even added a few ice blasts before swinging out punches that shattered each one like glass.
After a few minutes of brawling all the of Sam's monsters were destroyed.
Sam looked out at them and said, "Not bad. Now why don't you try this on for size?"
Sam focused her power and the ground shook beneath them. Then out of the ground rose up a giant plant colossus. It was made completely out of earth and moss. It had a pair of crimson red eyes that seemed to move around a bit like they were made of a swarm of bugs. It's arms and legs had roots and vines mingle together into monstrous shapes. It's chest was made completely out of wood. A part of it's chest was transparent showing a massive brown and green heart that beat loudly. The plant golem glared down at them with it's eyes darkening before it roared revealing a mouth full of jagged wood spikes.
"Anyone got a weed whacker?" Beast boy asked jokingly.
Raven had to resist the urge to smack the green skinned titan over the back of the head.
The Golem brought it's hand up and then brought it down. The titans got out of the way just in time to avoid getting crushed like insects. Danny fired a blast at the monsters chest aiming for the heart, since it seemed like an obvious weak point. To his shock the heart took the blast and didn't even stop beating.
The monster brought up one foot and stomped down on the titans who just barely managed to dodge. Danny and Starfire flew up and started raining down blasts o the golem. It didn't even chip the bark. The monster then reached up both of it's hands and caught Danny. Before he could turn intangible the monster drew back it's arm and threw Danny as hard as it could.
The ghost powered teen was sent flying through the air and smashed through a wall. Danny groaned as he rubbed his head. At that moment a light turned on and a gasp reached his ears. Danny looked up to see he crashed into Paulina's bedroom, even worse, it was during the weekly meeting of the Danny Phantom Fan Club.
"The ghost boy is back!"
Danny let out a mental sigh as he was then tackled by the fan club members.
Danny phased out of the crowd and said, "Sorry ladies can't talk I got something to take care of!"
With that Danny flew off to get back to his team.
"Oh," Paulina sighed, "The ghost boy is so brave. He's probably off to do something really heroic. *Gasp* And we're missing it!"
The girls gasped when they heard this and ran into Paulina's recently bought car and zoomed after the boy.
Back with the team…
Cyborg fired a volley of missiles that detonated just barely chipping the bark on the golem's chest.
"Dang this thing is tough for something made out of dirt and wood," Cyborg said as he dodged the monster's fist again.
Robin was throwing his most powerful weapons, but nothing worked.
Beast boy turned into a large dinosaur with a long snout, sharp teeth, and a sail on it's back. He roared in the golem's face only for the monster to roar back even louder. Beast boy instantly freaked and turned back to normal.
"Cyborg," Robin said holding up an explosive disk.
Cyborg smirked and said, "I got the sonic."
Robin grinned and said, "I got the boom."
Robin threw his explosive disk at the monsters heart while Cyborg fired his sonic cannon. The sonic blast detonated the disk causing a large explosion of the monster's heart. The heart didn't break, but it knocked the creature back as it let out a grunt of pain.
"Cyborg!" Beast boy yelled, "It's time for the Beast boy blitz."
The young changeling turned into a armadillo and curled up into a ball. Cyborg caught the small green ball and threw it up in the air as hard as he could. As Beast boy descended he turned into a rhino. The heavy animal crashed into the monster's heart making the wooden organ crack and then shatter.
Beast boy turned into a hawk before flying over to the team and turning back.
He saw the monster's broken heart and said, "Sweet!"
The heart then completely repaired itself.
"Not sweet."
Danny had arrived just in time to see the heart repair itself. Danny took a deep bretha and was about tot unleash his most powerful attack when…
"Stop."
Danny didn't yell. He looked around.
"He's not that smart when it comes to combat is he brother?" the voice said.
"Not very smart at all brother," a second voice said, "and to think he actually managed to defeat us."
Danny blinked and thought, 'That sounds like those two guys Draco turned into.'
"That's because we are," the two voices said in unison, "Use us child. Use us. We have been very bored in here. You will need something to burn that wood seeing as none of your powers seem to work on this creature. SO USE US ALREADY!"
Danny shook his head after the shout and pulled the pendant off his neck. He turned them into their weapon form. He charged and yelled, "Hey wood rot. Leave my friends alone!"
Danny swung the blades and, much to his surprise and everyone else's, the blades cut right through the wood. The monster howled in pain as it's "flesh" was cut. It then glared angrily at Danny who smirked right back at him. The monster swung it's massive fists trying to swat the ghostly teenager out of the air. Luckily for Danny he was much faster than this thing. After dodging a few blows Danny swung his swords cutting the thing's hand off. The monster roared as he clutched the stump that was once it's hand.
Unknown to any of them the Danny phantom Fan Club was nearby and taking pictures for their website.
Paulina was squealing at the sight of her beloved Phantom kicking the at golem's butt. She was also happy to see that he was with the Teen Titans. That made him all the cooler.
Danny looked own at his teammates as the golem clutched it's and nodded.
"Raven," Starfire said, "Yin and Yang."
Raven held out her hand and Starfire did the same. Slowly black and green energy appeared in between their hands and merged forming a black and green yin and yang sign.
Beast boy turned into a dragon, while Cyborg prepared his sonic cannon while Robin took out his explosive disks.
Danny then fired an ice blast that froze the monster's heart and then spread to the rest of it's body.
"Now!" Robin yelled.
Raven and Starfire launched their combined attack, Beast boy launched a jet of flame from it's mouth, and Robin threw his disk while Cyborg fire his cannon and then a volley of missiles to be sure.
Danny focused energy into his swords and swung them in an X pattern forming flaming green X and launching it at the monster's heart causing both it to explode and shatter like a huge glass statue.
Danny looked at Sam and said, "It's over Sam. Just give up now and we might show leniency. Emphasis on might."
The Fan Club nearby silently gasped in shock. That was the Goth girl that died in the accident? This was getting better by the minute.
"Star tell me you're writing all this down," Paulina said.
"Easy Paulina," Star said, "I've only got like a few pages in my pad left."
Sam shook her head and said, "Danny, Danny, Danny. You should know that in case something goes wrong…always have a back up for the back up."
Sam shined bright green and there was a blinding flash. When it cleared it showed a monstrous figure in Sam's place. It was a large dragon like creature that looked like it was made out of black and green flower petals. Its eyes shone a dark green and it roared sending a shiver of fear through everyone's spines. (For imagery think Black Rose Dragon from Yugioh 5Ds only black and green instead of red and black.)
'This must be from when Sam wore Dora's amulet,' Danny thought.
"Let's see those little toys of yours save you this time Danny boy," the dragon growled before firing a laser like beam from it's maw.
The titans were blown back and crashed into the ground. The Fan club screamed in terror and ran for their lives.
Danny got up and looked up in fear as Sam Dragon roared again. His eyes narrowed as he and his team got up and got ready.
Cut! Okay I'm ending it here. For those of you who want to know Sam has Undergrowth's powers and a dragon form thanks to Dora. I plan on giving Danny a little something from one of his enemies later. If you guess right…you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you know something other's don't. also if your mad about Black Star I'm sorry. Okay goodbye.
