Chapter 20: Dangerous Encounters

Previously

"I should have just hid in the Share Bear factory!..."Danny thought as the ghostly girl continued to smooch him against his will.

At least until a familiar blue mist escaped his mouth and no sooner is a certain someone fired at them, startling the two ghosts.

"What the-..."Phanty exclaimed, being startled enough to stop kissing Danny.

Danny was too startled by the blast to try and escape her.

"What was that?...'Danny said as he looked up to see who sent it.

"YOU?!..."Danny shouted as he realized that his night has just gotten a lot worse now.

Danny looked above and dread when he saw who it was that attacked them.

"SKULKER! What are you doing here?!..."Danny shouted to his enemy, while Phanty even let him go out of confusion and worry.

"As I said, the hunt never rests.."Skulker said as he fired another blast in their direction.

Danny reacted in instinct. He pulled himself and Phantasma out of the range of the blast, just before it hit them. He let Phantasma go and then flew into the air to face his foe.

"Geez, Skulker...don't you ever take a night off?..."Danny shouted at him as he prepared for like,what, their trillionth battle so far.

"Oh, please...as if I would stop the hunt just because you are canoodling with some girl!..."Skulker mocked, before he laughed.

"And a little too much, it seems!...'Skulker laughed as he produced a mirror to show the boy.

"Oh man!..."The ghost boy exclaimed as he saw what Skulker is laughing at.

Danny eyes widened as he touched his face and groaned as Phanty's black lipstick was still on him, while Skulker pointed and laughed even more.

"I can't believe that you didn't notice!..."The manic hunter mocked.

Despite the obvious danger he was in, Danny still blushed in embarrassment.

"I think I found the one moment more embarrassing than when my pants fell down in front of Paulina...'Danny thought as he tried to rub the kisses off of him with his handkerchief.

Unfortunately for him, Skulker used this moment of distraction long enough as he pulled something out and zapped Danny with it, causing him to scream.

"AH!...'Danny shouted as he soon changed back into human, as Skulker laughed menacingly.

Depowered, Danny is falling from the air.

He grabs onto a flagpole.

"Wow..." He smiled in relief before remembering what happened last time.

"Wait... this flagpole thing doesn't really-" It started breaking.

This is so not good.

With Phantasma

The young ghoul had regained her senses and was now searching for Danny and that metal jerk who ruined their date.

"Oh my, where is he?...'Phanty said in concern.

"AH!..."She heard.

It was a scream, and not the fun kind of screams either and they were also familiar too.

It's Danny.

After flying into view, she looked up and gasped in horror when she saw that Danny was in his human form and now hanging from a flag pole...that is starting to break.

"Oh no! Yikes!..." She shouted in horror as she started flying even faster.

Back with Danny

Danny was holding onto the flagpole for dear life and noticed that it was starting to break.

"Oh no!..."He said as it finally snapped.

"AHHH!..."Danny shouted as he began to fall again, until-

"I got you, Danny!..."Was shouted.

Danny soon realized that he was no longer falling, he looked up and saw that it was Phanty, who was grabbing his wrist.

"Phantasma?!..." He asked.

"I got you!..." She said.

However, she was losing her grip.

"Oh no..."She said

"What? What is it?!..."Danny said, not liking that "oh no" from her.

"I'm not used to pulling someone up!..." She shouted. "I'm gonna descend so that you don't get hurt!.."She said.

Phanty tried to fly as close as she could, just above a bunch of garbage bags so that the fall wouldn't be so bad. She lost her grip but thankfully Danny landed safely, relatively, onto the pile of garbage bags.

"Well... at least it isn't concrete..." He expressed relief.

Unfortunately, he soon found himself trapped in a net and saw that it was Skulker.

"I see that the Plasmius Maximus did the trick..."Skulker said mockingly.

"How did you even get that? It belongs to Vlad...'Danny demanded.

"Let's just say I...uh...borrowed it from my employer and even though it currently only has enough power for 10 minutes, that is 9 more than I need..."Skulker said as his wrist laser pointed at Danny

"Okay, this has just gotten worse...'Danny thought in dread.

"Don't worry, I'll be quick so your girlfriend won't have to see you suffer for long..."Skulker mocked.

"She is not my girlfriend!...'Danny said, despite the predicament that he is in but he was ignored.

"At last, the hunt is over, Ghost Child...'Skulker said in a dark tone as he aimed the laser at Danny's forehead.

Despite himself, Danny gulped.

"Oh man, now what do I do?...'Danny thought, as he tried to think of a way to save himself.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!..."Was shouted.

Both Danny and Skulker turned around and saw a fuming Phantasma there.

Danny was surprised that she was still here.

"What is she doing?...'Danny thought.

Skulker looked annoyed by the interruption.

However, he chose to ignore her.

"Your pelt is mine!..."The hunter shouted as rose his wrist laser at Danny.

That was his mistake, as Phanty then flew at him at top speed, tackling into him, knocking off his feet.

"What?!..." Skulker shouted. "GET OFF ME!..."Skulker shouted as he shoved her off.

It was then that he got a good look at her face and paused.

"Strange...this girl seems familiar...no matter, she will pay for getting in my way..."

"I said get away from him..." Phantasma shrieks, getting Skulker annoyed now.

"This hunt has nothing to do with you, child..." Skulker shouted.

"It does now, now get away from Danny before I make you!...'Phanty shouted, her eyes glowing green.

Skulker would have attacked her, but stopped since he couldn't help but get the feeling that he should know her.

"You look strangely familiar, have we met?.."The hunter ghost asked.

Phantasma shakes her head

"You are probably thinking of my father.."Phanty said and Skulker looked curious.

"Who is your father?...'Skulker demanded.

However, before he could get his answer, Danny noticed that the ten minutes have passed and changed back.

"Finally..."He whispered.

He took advantage of Skulker being distracted and used his ghost ice to freeze the net, thus breaking free.

Hearing the sound of his net breaking, Skulker turned around in shock.

"Oh no, you don't!..."Skulker shouted.

However, Phanty suddenly teleported in front of him, looking absolutely furious, if her glowing green eyes were any indication.

"I SAID LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOU BIG BULLY!..."Phanty shrieked again.

"I have had it with your interference, ghost girl! Prepare to share his fate!...'Skulker said as he aimed his blaster at her.

He aimed his blaster, but Phanty flew around to avoid his blasts. She kept flying circles, avoiding his blasts.

Despite her anger, she cackled in a mocking sort of way.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Can't hit me!..." She mocked.

"We will see about that!..."Skulker shouted as he sent more blasts to her.

To his surprise, Phanty suddenly glowed yellow again and that got his attention, especially since her necklace was now glowing too.

"What is she-

"MY TURN!...'Phanty shouted as she sent an ecto blast in his direction, which was bigger and stronger than most ecto blast and it hit Skulker square on.

"AHHH!...'Skulker said as he was blasted and hit the wall.

Once he came up, he noticed that one of his devices was broken and he gulped when he saw which.

"Oh no! Plasmius isn't going to like this..."He muttered under his breath over the now ruined Plasmius Maximus.

He was then made and turned to Phantasma, who was looking at him in a smug sort of way.

"You have made a big mistake!..."Skulker shouted at her.

"Funny, I was just about to tell you the same thing...'Phanty mocked, aggravating the hunter even more.

"That is enough ,you little brat! When I get my hands on you, I-

He never got a chance to finish whatever threat he was going to make, since Skulker was too busy fighting Phanty, he failed to keep his eyes on Danny, who had used this opportunity to pull out his thermos and was now sucking the demented hunter inside.

"WHAT?! NO!..."Skulker shouted as he was being sucked in.

"YES!..."Danny shouted as he trapped his foe.

"I'LL HANG BOTH OF YOUR PELTS FOOOOR THHHHIIIIIISSSSSS!..."Was that last thing that he said before he was sucked inside.

It was over, Skulker was captured.

They won!

Once Skulker was safely inside the thermos, Danny turned to Phanty, amazed.

She actually saved his life just now.

"Uh...Wow...Phantasma..I-

Danny didn't even get a chance to finish whatever he was going to say, as the ghoul shrieked and soon ran to him, she was now hugging him again.

"Oh, Danny...Are you okay? That big bully didn't hurt you, did he?..."Phatasma asked, actually concern.

Danny was momentarily taken back by how worried she actually seemed. He shook his head.

"Don't worry, I'm fine...no damage...I've been thought way worse, believe me..."Danny said as he tried to stop her examination.

"Good...I would hate to see this cute face get hurt..."Phanty said sweetly to him.

Danny blushed at that comment once more.

"Who was that jerk, anyway?..."Phanty asked.

"That's Skulker, the so called greatest hunter in the Ghost Zone, he has been hunting me for months but as you can see, he's failed...'Danny said.

"Well, if he's smart, he'll give up..."Phanty said, sounding protective.

Danny was stunned by how much she seems to care. It was then that it just dawned on him, that this ghost girl probably just saved his life.

Even if she freaks him out and wants to date him, he didn't want to seem ungrateful.

"Anyway...Phantasma...I..uh...Thank you...you know, for saving me..you were really brave back there...'Danny said, in genuine gratitude.

Despite how unpredictable she is, Phanty sent him a smile, blushing at that praise.

"Aw, it was nothin', now come here ya big lug..."Phanty said as she hugged the ghostly boy again.

Danny, for once, didn't dodge. He hugged her back. He figured that he at least owed her some sign of gratitude.

However, he then recalled that he had something rather urgent he had to tell her and right now, she at least wasn't kissing him, so he can get a word in edgewise now.

"Uh..Phantasma..look, I know that you like me but we really need to talk..it's just-

However, Phantasma then yawned a bit, feeling and looking very exhausted.

"Are you alright?...'He asked, concern.

"I...I don't know...I feel a little...sleepy..."She yawned again, looking like she was about to drop at any second.

She then leaned forward, about to fall but Danny caught her.

"Phantasma?...'Danny questioned, as the ghostly girl was now out like a light.

He was confused.

"Hmm...I guess that fight took more out of her than I thought..."He muttered as he looked at the sleeping ghoul in his arms.

As overbearing, creepy and obsessive as she can be, she is not evil and he can't just leave her like this.

She just saved his life...

"On one hand, I value as much distance between us as possible..." He groaned. "On the other hand... she did save me...I guess that the least I could do is take her home... She said she goes to a school or something in those woods..."Danny muttered.

He then carried the slumbering specter bridal style as he decided to take her to her home.
