I do not own Percy Jackson or Danny Phantom.

Danny's PoV

First thing I learned about these guys is that they hit hard. I sprung right at them to get their attention, and it worked…briefly. One of them just swung their cub at me. I tried going intangible but for some reason the club still hit me and I went flying backwards.

"Danny!" Sam shouted from somewhere to my left.

"Go! Get out of here." I shouted back as I got back to my feet and faced the giants. They were heading towards my friends. I couldn't let them get hurt. "Hey morons!" they turned to look at me. "Those are my friends." Then I shot the closest one to me with an ice blast and he froze with a look of shock on his face. Not wanting to waste the moment I shot him with an ecto-blast that was a bit more powerful than I would normally do but I was angry and desperate. The ice shattered and the guy turned into a golden powder. One down, five to go.

I would love to say that the others just stood there and let me pick them off one by one, but my life is never that simple. Instead they split up. Their leader, I guessing that's the biggest one, told the other four to take care of me while he got the 'half-blood'. Still have no idea who he are talking about. All four of the ones facing me hefted a ball in their hands and threw them. Suddenly I was glad for Calli's teaching style, because I just noticed that the balls were the same metal as their clubs. That being said, my powers wouldn't help me. Somehow I managed to doge all four balls. However, when they hit the floor behind me, they exploded. The combined blasted threw me off my feet and landed me within striking distance of the clubs. Today was just not going very well.

They didn't even wait before they surged forward with their clubs raised for the kill. That's when it hit me: these guys were here to kill. I don't know how I knew that but I did and that means my friends and myself were in a lot of trouble if I can't defeat these guys. I was quickly brought back to reality as four spiked clubs came down on top of me. The only thing I could think to do was throw up an ecto-shield, which I did just in time.

Luckily it held, but it cost me a lot of effort to keep it up just for the few seconds it took for the clubs to hit. I was not going to be able to stop another hit like this. So I fazed through the floor and came up behind the group and quickly froze and blasted another one of them before they could look for me. As that one burst into dust I flew up so I could have some breathing room and check on how the others were.

They were fighting the leader but weren't having much success. They were holding him back for the moment but I don't know what these things are or how else to defeat them other than the way I have been. But none of my friends had my powers. They needed my help and soon. Turning back to my fight I barely had time to duck as another exploding ball sailed toward me. It detonated above my head and I was sent tumbling from the air. I hit the ground hard and all the air left my lungs with a whoosh. I rolled on instinct and a club smashed into the ground where I was laying a moment before. By now I'm wishing that Dan was here rather than these guys. These guys were out of my league. I fight ghosts, not…whatever these guys are, but there was no choice.

I struggled to my feet and saw another club swinging towards me and I tried to move out of the way but I was too slow and the spikes ripped into my back, carving gashes onto my flesh. The pain was horrible and I heard a scream that I think was me and I felt myself revert to human form as I crumpled onto the ground. The last things I saw before blacking out were flashes of light and a dark shadow falling over me.

Dan's PoV.

I knelt over the raven haired teen's unconscious form and almost felt bad. Almost. I smiled as I scooped up the frail form into my arms. On the other side of the mall I could hear a fight. Skulker and Ember are doing a great job at a diversion. While my younger self was dealing with them I got the chance to take Calli. As soon as her friends were out of sight it was rather simple to knock the girl out. She couldn't even see me when as I injected her with one of Skulker's tranquilizers. I probably didn't have to knock her unconsciousness but I didn't want to risk her running away, fighting, or calling for help. Not like anything would have helped her anyway.

"Phantom, we've got a problem." Ember said coming up behind me. I turned around and saw her with Skulker next to her. I could still hear the fight, but if they were both here… "Someone beat us to the punch, but that's not the issue." She said as if reading my mind.

"Then what's the issue?" I asked annoyed.

"The little Halfa and his friends are trying to fight monsters. It's a losing battle for them." Skulker told me. In my arms Calli started to stir. That got more of my attention because that tranquilizer was supposed to last for a few hours.

"Whaz a oozing ight?" she asked, her word were slurred but she was most definitely waking up. "By tah ay, s'not nice to knock people out." She opened her green orbs and I almost lost myself in them. "Hi, Dan." I kind of felt like a jerk when she smiled at me but before I could say anything I felt something tear across my back. Pain made me gasp and almost drop Calli as I fell to my knees. At the same time, across the mall an agonized scream pierced the air. "What's going on? Dan, are you alright?" Great, she's even concerned for me. Darkness danced at the edges of my vision.

"Something's not right?" I managed to gasp out.

"Gee, you think?" Calli said angrily. Before I could make a comeback she turned to Skulker and Ember. "What is going on over there?" she pointed in the direction the scream had come from.

"A group of monsters decided to pick a fight with…" Ember was saying but Calli took off at the word 'monsters'. Her hair flew out behind her as she raced to the source of the scream. "Calli, wait! You don't know what you're up against!" but she was gone.

"What is she going up against?" I asked. The pain in my back wasn't going away and my vision kept getting darker by the minute.

"Something worse than ghosts." Skulker answered. "It's suicide to try and fight them."

"We have to help her." I said and tried to stand but immediately fell over.

"Dan, your back is smoking." Ember pointed out sounding panicked.

"Ember, get Dan out of here. I'll help the girl."

Skulker and Calli to the rescue. But what's wrong with Dan? Hmm, I guess you're going to have to keep reading.
