Last time on Phantom: The Ghostly Hero…
The first indication his day was about to be ruined more was that it was suddenly bright. That was also his first indication that wherever he was:
I'm certainly not in my bed right now. Danny realized.
The second was that as he connected with the ground, he landed on bricks; not the carpet of his bedroom.
The third, of course, was that there was a giant purple beast with its brain? exposed running after a kid with green hair, while a man with too many hands on his body was getting up off the ground and a purple mist monster was groaning lying on the floor next to him.
What the HELL is going on?
Danny's first instincts screamed ghost attack. One moment he was about to get into his sweet, sweet bed, the next he's lying on the brick floor of a Dome? in the midst of chaos. Danny sprung up to his feet and immediately took flight. As his feet melted away into his ghostly tail, he took a look around. As he swept his eyes over what appeared to be a battlefield, his core lurched at the sight of a purple monster rearing back it's fist as it was about to punch the green-haired running away from it. By the size of the muscles on that thing, the kid was about to be seriously injured.
Protect! Screamed Danny's core. Without a thought, Danny threw up Ecto-Sheild between the kid and the creature's fist, now rocketing towards the back of the kids at speeds that weren't human.
Ghosts? No, my sense didn't go off. Danny's thoughts were cut off as the creature's fist connected with his shield, nearly shattering it in one hit, forcing Danny to refocus on the creature in front of him. If something was throwing around enough strength to nearly break his shield with one hit then it was dangerous.
I need to get it away from that kid. And of course, what better way to distract it from the kid than to take the heat himself. Danny charged an ecto-blast in his hand and did something stupid.
"Hey Ugly!" he shouted at the creature and released the ecto-blast he'd been charging. The green orb crashed into the shoulder of the beast, exploding on impact. The creature, to its credit, barely rocked back onto its heels and turned its head to look at the ghostly teen flying above it.
New Toy! The Creature's grin got wider, if that was possible, and promptly sprinted at the teen floating a few feet off the ground.
"Oh shit!" Danny cursed because, damn, that thing was fast. The creature closed the gap between them in just a few seconds. Danny shot into the air to avoid the creature as it barreled towards him. Charging a few more ecto-blasts in his hand, he threw them at the creature, who shrugged them off.
Crap. I'm going to have to get in close to this thing huh? Danny realized as it seems his ecto-blasts were doing little to nothing. Shooting down to the ground, he prepared to fight the monster bearing down on him. Taking a deep breath, he reached into his core and pulled. His eyes began to glow an icy blue as he tapped into his ice powers.
"You want some! Come get some you stupid, ugly, fat-"! Danny cut off his shout before he could finish his insults. If he hadn't had the creature's full attention before, he certainly has it now. The thing sprinted directly at him; it's only planned in mind to beat the toy in front of him to a pulp. Suddenly, it tripped, or more specifically, one of its feet was frozen to the ground. It pulled and tugged at the ice, but wasn't able to break it.
"Hah! Frostbite slowing you down!?" Danny taunted the villain, who did not appreciate being joked at apparently. Danny's humor turned to horror, as the creature, realizing it wasn't going to get its foot out of the ice, proceeded to pull against the ice until its foot RIPPED OFF!
What the he- Danny could barely think before the creature regenerated his foot and continued its charge at the ghostly teen. Regeneration? Seriously? Why do I always have to fight the crazy strong villains? Danny asked the universe, who laughed at him back. New plan. Danny thought the beast continued charging him. All I need to do is get him on the ground. Then I can freeze him fully.
The creature smiled! Its feet away from its Toy! Once he grabs his toy they can play together until it dies! Seeing its toy just a few feet away, and making no moves to dodge yet, it reached out its hands to grab the toy. The toy remained still. He was going to get his toy! As he reached his toy, it's smile quickly dropped as its hands passed through its toy! Unable to stop itself, the beast tripped over Danny's foot, which he had kept tangible. The second the beast hit the ground; Danny froze its limbs down, then continued cocooning it in ice.
Holy shit that hurt. It might be broken. Danny realized that maybe his foot wasn't the best thing to trip his opponent with when he could create literal unbreakable ice. His foot throbbing didn't stop him from finishing the monster's cocoon though. He wasn't taking any chances that creature got loose. Deciding the creature wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, he looked back to the rest of the battlefield. Choosing to float over limping around on his foot, Danny took in the scene before him. There was the dark-haired man lying face-first on the ground, and the purple mist thing, which was starting to get up. \
I need to get the man to safety. Also, where did handsy and the kid go? Deciding to worry about the missing two people later, he needed to get the man to safety now. Danny flew over to the man, and Wow. He's a little roughed up. Danny, having learned a little (a lot) about first aid from ghost fighting these last three years, was getting ready to assess the man's injury, when he heard a shout.
"Watch out! Above you!" The green-haired kid yelled, popping up from behind the bush he'd run too!
As he looked up, he noticed two things. A purple portal opened above him in the sky and the man he'd dubbed Handsy dropping from it with his arm outstretched to grab him.
Danny turned intangible on instinct, and the man's outstretched arm connected with the ground and HOLY SHIT THE GROUD DISSINTEGRATED! Danny realized he DID NOT want to get caught by this man. Handy's palm covered head flicked up to meet his eyes.
"Our intel didn't report there'd be a mini-boss on this stage. What mob are you?" The clearly crazy man asked. Danny was caught off guard, relaxing to stand up, yet keeping his intangibility because that little disintegration power was scary.
"Uh… My name is Phantom. What about you Mr. Bad-Touch?" Danny snarked back, before realizing that maybe pissing off the guy who could probably kill him with a touch was a bad idea. Handy man narrowed his eyes
"You're dead" he stated simply, before flinging himself at Phantom in a whirl of limbs.
"Well yes. I'm a ghost, duh." Danny replied, dodging a punch from the man and returning with an ecto-blasts of his own.
"This stage isn't supposed to have supernatural type mobs on it! It's supposed to be kids and All-Might!" The man-child shouted. The man threw a punch at Danny. Danny, going intangible, let the punch go through him, before spinning around on his foot and kicking the other guys square in the head, knocking off the hand covering his face.
"Hehe, I guess feet beat hands in combat!" Danny teased the man, who froze.
"Father". The man mumbled
"What" Danny was confused at this point. What is this guy's deal with hands? Danny wondered. Noticing the kid had snuck out of the bush he'd hid in to retrieve the man on the ground, Danny knew he had to keep Handy's attention.
"I bet girls hate going on dates with you because you get too Handsy with them! Or uh… Ooh. Hey, I think my sink broke, can you help me out Mr. Handy-man"! Daniel taunted. Of course, Daniel had yet to learn his lesson about making villains angry.
"Shut up! Shut Up! I'll kill you"! The man suddenly launched himself up at Danny, who was taken by surprise as he was busy thinking up jokes when the man had popped up. Luckily, he turned intangible just before the man got to him. The man passed harmlessly through him.
"Hah, you missed m-"! Danny began to taunt, then noticed the man had not stopped running past him. In fact, he'd run… straight to the creature and was touching the ice.
"Shit". Was all Danny could say before the creature exploded at him after its icy prison was destroyed. Danny dodged right but hadn't reacted fast enough and got caught by the creature's arm as it swept past him. Sending him tumbling through the air and into the bushes nearby… right, where the kid, and the man who looked to be beginning to wake up where hiding.
"Go! I can hold him off!" Danny shouted at the kid! He needed to end this fight here and now. Danny brushed the creature's thoughts, making sure it wasn't sentient before he did what he was about to do.
As the creature, Nomu, if Handy-Man's shouts were anything to go off of, reached the patch of bushes, it was surprised to find no one in them.
Danny's fists rose up from the ground and pulled the Nomu down to its chest into the earth. The creature was trying to fight its earthy prison to no success. As Danny floated up, he saw the purple mist man grab a flailing Handy-man and pull him into a portal. Probably escaping now that their weapon was trapped. But this creature can't be allowed to escape. Who knows what destruction it could cause if left unchecked?
Checking to make sure the kid had moved away from the area that was about to be a crater, Danny floated up a few more feet, took a deep breath, mentally apologized to the Nomu, and…
Wailed.
Aizawa was pulled out of his near coma by the sound of death, and the sensation of being dropped to the ground. A sound like a thousand dying screams tore his ears apart, forcing his arms to shoot up and cover his ears. Looking over, he saw his favorite student (not that he'd tell anyone that) also covering his ears as well, and kneeling on the ground nearby him. He must of been carrying me away from something. Whatever it is making that terrible noise probably. He guessed.
Izuku, suddenly feeling dizzy, fell over and passed out. Aizawa almost joined him in the realm of the unconscious, until the wave of pain hit him.
Aizawa took account of what he could see. Midoryia had somehow escaped death by disintegration when the last thing the man remembered was using his quirk until he passed out to protect his kids. The same Midoryia was now passed out next to him. Tsuyu and Mineta were unaccounted for as well.
Did they die? the intrusive thought burst into his head. God, he hoped not. But he had no way of knowing. For now, he had to find the villain that scream had come from. If Midoryia was anything to go off of, the other's may have passed out and also be in Danger.
Aizawa was always tired. He was tired of waking up. He was tired while teaching. He was tired as he trudged home at the end of the day. But right now, with student's lives at risk, he wasn't tired. Aizawa was wide awake and ready to defend his students with his life.
All-Might had gotten Iida's SOS and had promptly sprinted out of the office, assuming his hero form. The second he found the exit to the U.A Building he was in, Yagi Tonshori JUMPED. His leap carrying his hundreds of meters. In just a few minutes, Tonshori had could see the USJ, and could see smoke coming off the top.
Then, the roof of the building exploded. The metal twisting up and away as green rings slammed into it suddenly. What was once a dome was now just a circular and was horrified at the state it was in. What once was a dome was now just a circular wall without a roof.
What kind of Villain can cause such immense destruction? Of course, his mind settled on his Nemesis: All for One. If my nemesis is here, things may get ugly, if they haven't already. Please be safe Izuku... Wait what if Izuku got hurt!? The fear that his successor might be injured, or worse, scared him. In just two more leaps, All-Might had reached the door of the USJ and ripped them off the hinges, throwing them behind him as he strode through the doorway.
"It's fine now! I am here!" He shouted, praying that everything really was fine and that he wasn't too late. The first thing he noticed, was the villains cornering some of the 1-A students. The second was the white-haired villain floating in the air under the open hole of the roof.
But where is young Midoryia? He's not with this group of students! His mind asked him. Later, for right now, the students! All-Might rushed through the villains in front of him, barely holding back. Anyone who can attack kids doesn't deserve a gentle takedown. He reminded himself as he beat down the villains as his students cheered. As soon as he was done with this group of villains, he rushed around the USJ taking down the remaining villains. The white-haired one who destroyed the roof, he noticed, was no longer floating in the sky and had vanished into the trees.
Then, he saw it. Barely. A dash of green hair amongst some bushes halted All-Might in his tracks. As he stood over Midoryia to pick him up and evacuate him, he was blasted with green energy and thrown back. The white-haired villain he'd been trying to find emerged from the trees and spoke.
"Get away from him. He's mine" The words were ice cold coming from the villain's lips.
Careful. This one's powerful. You could get hurt. His instincts warned him. All-Might, ignoring his instincts, got into a battle stance and motioned the villain to come at him. I don't care. Not if it means protecting young Midoryia.
"Come get some"! Challenged All-Might.
The white-haired villain's fists began to glow, and a smirk formed on his face.
"The others didn't stop me, and you sure won't either" The boy replied, and All-Might's world erupted into green light.
(A/N) All-Might and Phantom are gonna throw hands. Neat.
Also, give me your ideas! I'm still trying to figure out how Danny's gonna react the the world with quirks and how he's gonna interact with the students of U.A! Give me ideas people!
