Danny Phantom Meets The Usher 2

Danny flew high up to the lights where he saw the shadowy figure. He looked around, and then finally spotted him. The two looked at eachother for a few seconds, until the figure began hopping from stage light to stage. Danny flew after him, but had a hard time seeing him do to the shadows.

Meanwhile……

"Abra-Cadabra!" shouted Dash, over and over as he held his plastic wand up in the air, pointing it at his hat that he held in his other hand. Nothing happened. He looked into the hat annoyed. "Why won't this stupid thing work?" He then continued to flick the wand.

As he did this, a ghost rose from the ground behind him. He wore a magician's hat and clothing. He then smiled at Dash, amused at his failure.

"I bet Houdini didn't have this much trouble!" said Dash. Dash suddenly felt a chilling feeling run down his spine. He looked behind him, and saw him.

"You got that right," said the ghost in a dark voice. He raised his hand and pointed it to Dash's hat, as a glowing green ray of light zapped it. As that happened, out flew dozens of bony pigeons that attacked Dash. He then ran off the stage screaming his lungs out.

"Sigh," went the ghost. "Teenagers who are always destined for nothing after high-school always are the easiest to scare."

Sam and Tucker stared at Dash who had just ran out of the auditorium screaming like a little baby.

"What's his problem?" asked Tucker. He looked at Sam who was staring at the dead pigeons flying all over the place. "Well that answer's my question."

Just then, out came a ghostly magician from the stage. He looked at Sam and Tucker, and then smiled.

"Two ghosts?" asked Sam. "What's going on here?"

Meanwhile……

"Alright, ghost!" said Danny as he pointed to the shadowy figure. "What do you want here?"

The figure didn't say a thing. Instead, he began hopping away.

"Not again!" Danny's arms then became transparent and extended all the way to the figure. Danny grabbed him and held him in his place.

The figure looked at Danny and then pulled out something from behind him. It seemed to be an usher's light.

"What are you going to do with that?"

Just then, a long beam of light came out of the usher light, forming a red light saber.

"He he. Now I know. Well bring it on." Just as Danny was ready to fight, he sensed something. He looked down below, and saw a ghost attacking Sam and Tucker. "Not good!" He backed up, ready to fly down, but something else caught his eye. The figure he was just fighting had leaped off of the lights just before Danny, and revealed itself in the light. The figure wore a long red sleeveless trench coat, with brown dress pants and black dress shoes with large black gloves on and a bow tie. His eyes were covered with a mask similar to that of Robin's from Teen Titans.

"That's not a ghost. But who is he then?"

"Hey!" exclaimed Tucker. "Who's that guy?"

Sam looked up and saw the person land on the ground, and eye the ghost, and vice versa.

"Houdini," said the figure.

"Well if it isn't my old friend the Usher," said the ghost, obviously Houdini. "Wait! If you're here, then who's watching over the Theater?"

"It's being heavily guarded for your information," said The Usher.

Meanwhile at The Theater……

Two friends of the Usher sat atop of a large tree, reading comic books and scooping out danger with their binoculars.

"See anything?" asked Kenneth, one of the friends.

Vanessa, the other friend, looked through the binoculars. She saw nothing. "Nope."

The two continued to sit there, not noticing The Usher's arch enemy, Cellulator, sneaking into the Theater.

Back to our heroes……

"What's going on here?" asked Danny as he finally made it down.

"I see you have a new friend," said Houdini, referring to Danny.

"Friend? I have no idea who this guy is!" Danny said. "Now who are you and what are you doing here?"

"I am the one and only Houdini! I've finally arisen from my captivity and I'm here to finish what I started!"

"Which is?"

"To create total chaos!" said The Usher. He pulled his light saber out. "And defeat me. But not today!"

"Or anyother day for that matter!" At that, Danny and The Usher both charged for Houdini, ready to attack.

"Danny's costume is cool," said Tucker. "But his is cooler. I wonder who his tailor is."

"Danny's fighting the greatest magician of all time and your worried about….wow! You're right," said Sam. "His costume is cooler."

Houdini raised his hand, out came long rusted chains. They wrapped around The Usher and Danny Phantom. They couldn't move a bit.

"We really have to stop meeting like this," said Houdini.

"Danny's in trouble!" said Sam.

"We have to save him!" said Tucker, sticking out his chest. "For only WE have the power to save them. We shall use out bravery and wits to overcome……"

"Boo," said Houdini as Tucker continued talking.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed as he ran around in circles.

"Not so fast, Houdini!" shouted Danny, as he soon became transparent, and slid out of his chains. The Usher pulled out his light saber and cut his own chains and the two heroes were free.

"You're gonna have to learn some manners! Or proper chain tying skills. Whichever comes first!" shouted The Usher. He then looked over to Danny. "You get those kids outta here and I'll take out magic man here!"

"Umm, right!" Danny then flew for his friends.

"I don't think so!" Houdini held up his hand, muttered magical words, and fired another ray of light at Sam and Tucker.

"What's he doing to us?" asked Sam. Soon, her skin became wrinkled and decayed. Her hair turned dirty white and her nose had fallen off. The same with Tucker.

"He turned them into zombies!" said The Usher.

"Sam kinda looks like my sister from this morning," said Danny. "I wonder how she's doing."

Meanwhile……

"Jazz?" called Mrs. Fenton as she walked down into the basement. As she reached the bottom, she heard the tune of her old piano being played. She looked ahead, and saw Jazz sitting at the piano, playing a very dark and moody note. Jazz sat there playing the piano with a long black cape on. "Jazz?"

Mrs. Fenton rested her hand on Jazz's shoulder. Just as she did this, she stopped playing the piano. At that moment, there was silence.

"Are you alright, honey?"

"No, mom," she said, still not turned around. "LOOK AT ME!" She quickly turned her head around, revealing that she still had half of the face cream on her face.

"Gasp! I mean, come now, sweetie. I know it can't be that bad."

Jazz then removed the half mask that lied on her face, revealing what was under it.

"Double gasp! I mean it's still not that bad."

"Danny WILL PAY!"

"I heard Will!" shouted Mr. Fenton as he popped out of nowhere. "Where is the ghost boy? Is he here?"

"No dad. You can go now!"

Back to our heroes……

"Looks like we have some extra trouble on our hands," said The Usher.

"They're the flesh-rotted-brain-eating-scrawny-living-dead!" exclaimed Danny. "What's the worst that they could do?"

"Lettuce attack!" shouted Sam as she launched three rotten heads of lettuce at the two.

"Wow," said Danny. "Attack of the rotten vegetables."

Right then, the heads of lettuce then grew large fangs, ready to sink them into someone.

"Happy now?" asked The Usher as he then switched his light saber into a ray gun. He fired all of the heads, blowing them up. "Veggies today, gone tomorrow!"

Danny looked over at Tucker. He looked ready to attack.

"I don't even wanna know YOUR attack." Danny then fired a blast of ectoplasm from his hands that stuck Tucker to the wall.

"If zombies won't do it," said Houdini. "Then I know what will!"

Houdini then began to glow a dark greenish color, and he began to grow larger and larger. He grew long ears, large paws, and decayed fur. He had become…..

"A rabbit," said Danny. "He just turned into a large zombified rabbit. How scary."

"RRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!" shouted Houdini, now a zombified rabbit.

"Okay. Now I'm scared!"

"We have to get out of here!" said The Usher. "Come on!"

Danny grabbed The Usher, and the two became transparent. Danny flew them both out of the school and into the parking lot.

"In there!" The Usher had pointed to a red convertible. The two dropped in the car. Danny looked back, seeing Houdini crash through the school wall.

"He's coming! Drive! Drive! DRIVE!"

SCUUUURRRRRRR! went the car as The Usher drove it out of the lot. He then zoomed off, with their large rabbit friend not far behind.

"Wait a minute!" said Danny, as he observed the car. "This is Will's car! That means that…you're Will!"

"Umm, I'm not Will! I'm…The…usher?"

"Nice try Will."

"Alright," said The Usher, now revealed as Will. "You got me, Danny."

"Wait! How do you know I'm Danny?"

"It's so obvious. You have the same voice, you're seen with the same friends that Danny hangs out with, and you basically look just like him if it weren't for the snow-white hair and the glowing green eyes."

"You caught me."

"Wait. You mean that no one's noticed that before?"

"Yeah, that is pretty weird now that you mention it." Danny looked at the mirror. "He's gaining on us. We gotta move faster!"

"Way ahead of you!" The Usher then shifted into turbo.

"ABRA-CADABRA!" shouted Houdini as he fired more beams of lights from his paw. They all missed, hitting buildings and other cars, turning them into carrots and card houses.

Soon, Will's car began to slow down. He looked at the meter. He was almost out of gas. Soon, the car stopped.

"We're in trouble now!" said Danny as he looked back. The two then hopped out of the car.

"Don't worry, Danny," said The Usher as he pulled out his light saber. Houdini then stopped in front of them. "Rabbits have very bad eye sight. Watch."

The Usher then rose into the air as his shoes transformed into rocket boosters. He zoomed up into Houdini's face, mocking him.

"Am I over here? Or over here?" he asked.

"Ummm, Will?" called Danny.

WAM! went Houdini's paw as he slapped The Usher into a building. Danny flew over to him and grabbed him.

"You're gonna have to learn how to fly better. Or taunting skills. Whichever comes first. Let's go, Will. We can head back to my house."

"Okay, mommy," answered The Usher, obviously a little dizzy from the blow. Without a moments hesitation, Danny flew off with his companion, leaving Houdini behind.

Later……

"We're here," said Danny as he and Will stood in front of the Fenton household. He quickly converted back into his human form, while Will removed his superhero outfit. The two then walked inside.

"AHA!" shouted Mr. Fenton. "GHOST BOY! I got him! I got him!"

Mr. Fenton leaped for Will, but missed and crashed into the wall.

"Oh you are one tricky ghost!"

"Jack," said Mrs. Fenton. "He's not a ghost. Calm down. Is the talent show over already?"

"Nope," answered Danny, nervously.

"It got cancelled," Will said. "I was just giving Danny a ride home."

Mr. Fenton then looked outside. "But where's your car?"

"Umm, he meant that he was accompanying me on the bus ride home," said Danny. "Is it okay if Will spends the night, Mom?"

"If it's okay with his parents, then yes," answered Mrs. Fenton.

"Thank you."

"Come on, Will. Let's head up to my room before my sister comes out."

The two boys then ran upstairs.

"Are you sure that it's okay for him to stay here with our daughter that he has mesmerized in a trance due to his ghostly powers? Because ghost boy's like him only want one thing out of a girl!"

"And what's that, dear?"

"To possess their non-suspecting minds and use their bodies to rule the world!"

"Jack. You're going to have to learn how to trust people. And proper-ghost-taking-over-the-world-theories. Whichever comes first."

"Yeah I guess you're right. He's not a ghost that is hypnotizing our daughter."

Just then, Jazz came running up stairs from the basement.

"I heard Will's voice. He's calling me! I'm coming, William!" She then ran upstairs.

"And ghost pigs will fly out of my ghost hunting pants! No Jazz! It's a trap!"

Later that night……

"Danny," called Will as he shook Danny's sleeping body over and over. "Get up. We've got work to do!"

"Oh yeah…yawn…right," Danny said as he stretched out of bed.

"Now before we go, I have to let you know something: Houdini can only crossover to our through the use of a message board. Are there any around here?"       

"Hmmmm," thought Danny. "Message board? Oh wait! The Fenton Board!"

"That's probably how he came through. We have to get that Fenton Board. It's the only thing that can send him back!"

"Alright, Will. Let's go." Danny then grabbed Will and the two became transparent so they could fly through the floor into the basement. "We have to make sure we don't get caught. My parents hate snoop around."

"Alright," said Mr. Fenton as he and his wife slowly crept down the hallway towards Danny's room. "Things are going to get a little rough in there. So I want you to know something if we don't make it out there alive."

"What is it, Jack?" The two gazed into each other's eyes.

"Nothing really, but it sure did set the mood for the moment. Now let's go and get that ghost boy!"

They crept closer to the door, leaning on it.

"Quietly. We mustn't make a sound…..NOW!"

SLAM! Mr. Fenton kicked the door open and dove inside. He was surprised to see that there was no one inside of Danny's room.

"The ghost boy has run off with Danny again! NOOOOOOOO!"

Meanwhile……

Down in the basement, Danny and Will searched high and low for the Fenton Board. They could not find a thing.

"Where is it, Danny?" asked Will.

"I have no idea. If only I knew."

Just then, a group of letters had appeared onto the ceiling. The letters came together to spell a message: I have no idea. If only I knew.

"The Fenton Board!" the two shouted. They quickly ran over to the table piled with junk. They dug under it and pulled out the Fenton Board.

"Now let's high tail it outta here!"

Once again, Danny pulled him and Will through the walls and out of the house. Danny flew through the sky with Will, searching for his car.

"Their it is! Right where we left it!" They flew down and landed.

"Alright!" said Danny. "I'm going ghost!" He then transformed into his ghost form and a black and silver suit appeared on him.

"I wish I had a catch phrase like that," said Will as he slipped into his costume. "We're going up against the ghost of the world's greatest magician. We're gonna need some help."

"From who?"

"Not from 'who'," said The Usher, as he popped the trunk of his car. "But 'what'!"

Danny stared into the trunk as an eerie green glow came from the trunk.

"What is it?"

Inside of the trunk lied a straight jacket with a muzzle mask. The usher grabbed it and locked the trunk.

"This jacket was given to me by Houdini's ghost when he tricked me into working for him the second time I had a run in with him."

"What's it do?" Danny didn't see the point in a normal straight jacket, except to give to his sister.

Danny watched as the jacket then turned black and engulfed The Usher's whole body. Soon, the jacket molded into his skin. He grew muscles and chains wrapped around his arms. He then grew a long red cape and the muzzle mask transformed into a black mask that covered his entire head. His mouth could not be seen, and his eyes began glowing red.

"I like the Spawn look you got going there, Will," said Danny.

"Time to fight fire with fire! Let's go, Danny!"

Danny Phantom, and the new form of the Usher, then flew into the night sky, as they searched for Houdini.
