I know this chapter is like 2 weeks late and I just don't know where time has gone. I am so sorry to my readers for the long wait! please forgive me *puppy eyes* I even stayed up really late to get this chapter out on time (I have no clue why I most often update on Monday but it works)
Vlad: They may not forgive you..
...don't be mean T^T
Clockwork: She'll let you get beat up again.
Vlad: OKAY! My bad! I'll even do the disclaimers without a fight. the author does not own Danny Phantom only Ellie and the creativity in the story itself. plz R&R there better?
...a bit yes.
Vlad: Just finish the chapter before you fall asleep at your keyboard.
Fair enough. Enjoy my faithful and forgiving readers.! XD
Ellie sat in the movie theater with both her loves. Clockwork was happily drinking his soda and Writer was flicking popcorn at the annoying patrons that chose to use their handheld devices in the dark room. Both were holding one of Ellie's hands as she watched the previews. Ellie looked down and saw Sam and Tucker watching the movie in the row right in front of them.
"Man! That movie looked like it will bomb." Sam said as she turned around. "Right Writer?"
"If it has explosions in it I'm sure there will be plenty of viewers. Perhaps we should go to a park that day." He replied contently and smirked after he heard someone yell about popcorn landing in their hair.
"Nice shot man!" Tucker laughed.
"Why is that man even complaining? He doesn't have any hair." Clockwork added.
"Right?" Sam laughed. "Next time lets all go to the theme park. If you guys don't have a date that is."
Ellie paused on Sam. It was like only yesterday that Sam couldn't stand the idea of Ellie dating them. Now she was acting as if it was the most obvious and clear thing in the world. She couldn't even remember coming into the theater.
"Hey guys!" Jazz ran up the walkway to them. "This movie is so gonna rock!" she laughed before turning to Ellie. "Oh and Mom and Dad said to be home by eleven. Unless a ghost holds you up." She quickly sat in her seat as the lights dimmed.
"Wha...?"
"Shh love. It's starting." Clockwork whispered in her ear.
Ellie's mind was reeling. What had happened? Had she blacked out? When did her parents find out about her powers? Did they know about Writer and Clockwork too? WHAT WAS HAPPENING?
Ellie took some deep breaths and looked at the screen as the image started to glitch out. Soon the image was complete snow with a static sound. She looked left and right and was suddenly alone. No Sam. No Tucker. Or even Jazz. Writer and Clockwork were both suddenly gone as well. The white light started to fade from the room drawing Ellie's eyes back to the slightly clearing screen. Though the screen was still hazy and kept fading in an out an image did show through.
There she saw Amity Park. Only everything was destroyed. The buildings were broken and burned. The fountain in the park was busted and the water ran dry. All the trees were either broken or half dead. And in the middle of it all stood an oddly shaped black figure. It's blood red eyes shinned as it attack charged ad fired at the screen, only instead of hitting a target in the movie it came out of the wall and blasted Ellie.
Ellie fell onto her back with a harsh ringing in her ears. Dizzy and in pain she leaned up. She pushed her bangs out of her eyes and felt liquid. Her hand was now covered in red blood mixed with ectoplasm. Her blood and ectoplasm. A large wound opened up on her head and pain rang through her body. Ellie looked down at herself in panic. Her legs were pinned by large rocks and her clothes were torn and bloody. She didn't even try to release her ghost form and had no clue what was happening. Her snow white hair was quickly becoming soaked and dirty from her injuries.
Ellie looked up at her attacker, but only felt an ice cold hand circle around her throat and a chilling murderous voice hissing in her mind.
"I will find you again. I will end you again! And no clock will change your fate!" Ellie jumped when she saw it's bright eyes in front of hers and its free hand descending on her head. He touched her and she did the only thing she could.
She screamed.
Ellie's voice echoed thought the ghost zone as she sat up with a start of panic. Darting her eyes around she saw that she was on a random isle in the Ghost Zone. She ran her hands over random parts of her body and, even though she was in her ghost form, she was not injured.
"What was that? A nightmare?" Ellie looked at her feet and saw some parts of a metal helmet. "Something tells me how I got here isn't going to be half as scary as finding out who put me here." Ellie shook her mind of her terrifying dream beofre pushing off the rock and heading back to her home portal.
Slipping through the portal and changing back she looked around and saw no one. She walked up stairs and started to call out for her family with no reply.
"I guess no one is home...It's quiet, to quiet..." Ellie slipped up stairs and checked in her parents bed room. Both of them were wearing metal helmets and were forcibly sleeping in their bed. "Oh no!" Ellie ran up to her mother and tried to get the helmet off only to receive a painful electrical shock throughout her body. Ellie pulled her hand back and nursed the sore skin.
"What are these things anyway? Looks like a tiara for a high-tech princess. Tucker would be impressed...Princess? JAZZ!" Ellie ran to her sister's room and saw the helmet on her as well. Ellie in her panic tried to take off the helmet again only to get shocked back. "Alright that's it!" She went ghost and zipped though the ceiling to the observatory above. "To the video tapes."
After a few minutes of booting up the system Ellie pulled up the surveillance tapes of the last few hours. She played through it and say a group of hacky sack ghosts phase into her home and put sleeping dust on her family and then a starry black hand would then put one of those tacky helmets on their heads.
"What's going on? Why attack the Fentons...? Unless?" Ellie looked out the window and didn't see a single person. "They were putting the whole town to sleep. SAM!"
She flew thought the walls until she came to her best friends room. The dark and Gothic design of the room just screamed "Sam". But the metal headgear on her head did not. Ellie again tried to manually remove the helmets only get harshly shocked again.
"I have got to stop doing that! Don't worry Sam, I'll get you out of this!" Ellie then flew to Tuckers. Tucker was clearly having a happy dream making Ellie laugh. But the same metal helmet was on his head too. This time Ellie resisted the urge to touch it as she checked his computer for what happened. A large starry ghost figure invaded his room and put the helmet on his head. "That guys looks familiar... Thanks Tuck. I'll be back."
Ellie flew about town and saw everyone asleep. Several people were going to have some serious neck pains when they go up too. As she was floating through the park and noting on the entire town being asleep her ghost sense went off. Looking down she saw too of the hacky sack ghosts. With a huff she charged a blast in each fist and fired on them. They made holes in their torso's to avoid the attacks and charged Ellie, catching her by the upper arms.
"Who are you guys? What are you doing?" Ellie demanded but revived no reply. "Strong silent types huh? Could e refreshing seeing as normally I can't get other ghost to shut up, but okay. Let's see how strong." Ellie closed her green eyes and focused on her ice powers. Soon the two ghosts stopped moving in mid air. "I don't know where you guys are taking me, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to go." The weight of the ice proved too much and the two ghosts fell to the ground and Ellie forced herself free from their frozen grip.
"So an army of ghosts controlled by a new powerful ghost? Why do I think Vlad's involved in all of this?" Ellie took a moment to consider it but dismissed it entirely. Writer had assured her that he wouldn't be scheming for a while let alone walking. "So if not Vlad then who is doing all of this?" Ellie shivered as her ghost sense went crazy and moans were heard behind her. She spun around to see twelve of the hacky sack ghosts hovering above her.
"Hey guys." she laughed and pointed a finger at them. "Love your individuality." and with two quick fire blasts she turned two of them to dust. The others then charged and surrounded her. "I already got the handle on your tricks." A set of hands grabbed Ellie's hand s and feet, lifting her off the ground. "Pay attention fella's." Ellie's eyes and body started to glow blue. "You'll learn why I'm not even scared." But her concentration was pulled to a creepy laugh from behind the line of ghosts.
Her eyes returned to their proper green as she watched a large ghost forms before her. Purple smoke danced around his form until it dissipated reveling his all starry black body. His face was a porcelain white with a scar over his big red left eye. He had curled purple horns sticking out of the sides of his head and a widows peak of purple on his forehead. He had a black goat tee and purple lips as well.
"Ah but you should be ghost child. And if you were smart, you would be." He said.
"You?" Ellie thought back to last night. It had been two day's since her date with Writer and Clockwork and this same ghost was the one that woke her up in the middle of the night. Her attacks did nothing to him. He knocked Ellie out and apparently sent her into the ghost zone. "Your the one who sent me to the Ghost Zone."
"Yes and I'm about to do it again. The fact that you woke yourself is surprising." He had Ellie brought back to her home and strapped to a table in front of the ghost portal.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
"I am Nocturn, the ghost of dreams. And What I want, I already have. The dreams of you and everyone in this town. I travel from town to town absorbing the power from dreams."
"Okay I get it already. But I'm not going to let that happen." Ellie froze the bounds on her writs and ankles and jumped up to a kneeling position. "All that beauty sleep left me rested and powerful. Not a bright idea." Ellie phased thought the floor and blasted Nocturn into the ceiling.
"You do not know the power of dreams." Nocturn raised his hand but nothing happened.
"And it looks like you could use some of it. Your all tapped out." Ellie taunted. "So what's the big deal about peoples dreams anyway?"
"Asks the girl who dreams of a happy life with her ghost lovers and a conflicting life from the past."
"Wait. What do you mean 'conflicting life'?"
"Dreams are the gate way to the soul, to the subconscious. Two factors that are not altered by time. The latter may forget, but the former will never let it go. Your dreams are not mere nightmares, but scattered memories." Nocturn charged his power and blasted Ellie with a wave of energy which she negated a bit too late and fell to the the wall. Nocturn lifted her up with his powers and flung her into the wall.
"My army will keep the world asleep so that I may remain all powerful."
"That's all you do? Put people to sleep? You sure your not a teacher?" Ellie cut through Nocturn but it proved to do little as he repaired himself. Nocturn summoned more of his ghost minions.
"As you can see dreams also fuel my sleep walkers. We are unstoppable."
"Okay this is where I say: Dream on." and with a large blast of energy Ellie destroyed the minion ghosts. But Nocturn summoned more. Ellie pushed them off of her and froze them before punching them to pieces.
"With the entire town dreaming; I can do this all day."
"Me too." Ellie challenged.
"This is where I say 'Dream on'." Nocturn summoned nearly 20 minions who surrounded and pinned Ellie. "Time's up Danielle Phantom. I promise your sleep will be deeper this time. And by deeper, I mean permanent."
"Much be nice having others fight your battles for you. Not so nice when they loose." Ellie forced out a wave of ice energy and froze all the minions around her solid. Ellie charged Nocturn giving him a punch and jumping over his arm swipe to return a kick to the chest. She shoved off the wall and used and extra momentum to shove her hand into his body. He gasped when he felt her cold touch as she froze him the same as his minions. Ellie smirked and with one final punch he shattered to pieces.
"Sweet dreams. Now to wake every one up." Ellie sent a small blast at a stray sleepwalker. "But to battle and army I'm going to need one of my own.
Ellie slipped back into Tucker's room and looked at the helmet with distaste.
"Okay so I don't want to get shocked again so no manual off switch. But something made the one I wore break off." Ellie thought back to the ice cold hand that wrapped around her neck and then...she shook the thought out of her mind. "I don't want to have to kill my friends in their dreams to wake them...Maybe...?" Ellie focused a small concentrated blast of ice energy on the tip of her figure and shot the large light in the center. The helmet then short circuited and Tucker woke up with a yell as he threw it off.
"Oh man what happened?"
"You just stepped into a nightmare. I'll tell you on the way."
Ellie collected Sam and Tucker and brought them to the docks by direction of Tuckers tracking equipment. Sam carried the Fention Thermos while Ellie nearly dead panned at their latest enemies location.
"A mattress warehouse?" she said as they looked at the rundown building. "I guess that antenna at the top is getting the signals from all those headsets."
"We got the plan." Tucker supplied.
"Lets take this guys out Ellie."
They bust through the door and blasted the group of sleepwalkers there. They ran through to the next room and found Nocturn. Only this time he was enormous. He was sleeping in a large glass container hooked up to a series of odd machines that lead to wires attached to the antenna.
"Oh no. He must be absorbing all the dreams in that machine." Ellie tried to blast and bust open the container, but to no avail. "We have to stop him."
"We have to wake him up. Just hit him with that ice thing like you did us." Tucker offered.
"But he's not wearing the headset and I don't know where to hit." Ellie slumped.
"But then how did you wake up?" Sam asked. "You couldn't have just iced yourself."
"I..uh..."
"Ellie?" Sam and Tucker looked at her with concerned eyes.
"I was killed in my dream. Nocturn was as surprised as I was." Ellie rushed out. "Hey maybe that would work. If I beat him in his dream then he would wake up and..."
"We pack him away." Tucker cheered and grabbed the thermos.
"Ellie..." Sam placed her hand on Ellie's shoulder.
"I'm alright Sam. It was just a dream." Ellie smiled and quelled Sam's worries for now. "While I'm in his head I need you guys to keep his sleepwalkers away. Tucker you need to also calibrate your PDA to turn this 'dream machine' off."
"You got it be careful." Tucker and Sam hugged Ellie before she went intangible and flew into Nocturns head.
Ellie entered an entirely black room. She looked all over or anything but nothing was here.
"Foolish girl. You really thought you could beat me at my own game?" Nocturns voice echoed from the darkness. Ellie looked more frantically for something to blast. "Do not fret young one. For here we can pick at your mind more. So now let us see more about this 'Danny Fenton'."
DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUNNNNNN!
Ellie is finally going to see who Danny is and what he means to her. How will she react? What will Clockwork and Writer do? and what about the being that killed Danny in the first place? Find out next time on Ellie Fention.
Also it is late like I said so sorry for any mistakes.
Nocturn: I know this chapter is quite late but if you review the next one might just arrive on time. So R&R you know you want to~
