I am on a roll. This is going to be about 15 chapters, though it could easily get longer than that. By the way, I think we all know Danny's the halfa Seer spoke of, but this is a case of dramatic irony.
Candlemon: I doubt you'll finish it.
Me: Just leave me alone for once, Candlemon. Don't forget, I'm a powerful wizard, more experienced than my sister.
Candlemon: So? I can still digevolve to ultimate.
Giramon: I can go to mega, so let's just start the story.
Jimmy spent much of the next week training Sheen for battle. He had built a few robots and some stun lasers for the training arena. He set the robots on level 1, since Sheen was just starting. Still, he only managed to win once, which showed he had a long way to go.
However, he was showing a little improvement and did not lose control as much as before. Still, it happened on a few occasions. Will was often the one who repaired the training arena, and built more robots in case Sheen destroyed them.
At school, things were turning for the worse. The trio were often bullied by Dash and Nick, though they only went to a physical level on Jimmy. He had almost completely ceased the rivalry between him and Cindy.
During break, Libby was talking to Sheen, trying to find out why they were behaving so strange.
"I've Seen several bruises on Jimmy, and all three of you usually come back from gym looking shaken." said Libby. "What the hell's going on?"
"Sorry, Jimmy doesn't want me to say anything about being beaten… Hey!" replied Sheen.
"So he has some bullying problems? Why doesn't he do anything about it?"
"He works out once in a while to get stronger, but he's mainly working on improving my fighting skills."
"Why is he doing that?"
"So I'm able to fight ghosts when they come around, since I'm a…"
"What are you?"
"I can't tell you! Jimmy said so! I've got to keep this a secret."
"All right, but you can always tell me. Just remember that we're friends. Sheen, you want to help me get Jimmy and Cindy?"
"Those two hate each other! Why do you want them to get together? So they can kill each other?"
"You should know better than anyone that they like each other."
"Well, Duh! Jimmy's liked Cindy for ages. I'm just keeping it a secret. See you later, Libs."
Jimmy walked into class with toilet paper all over him, and gave his friends a glance that clearly said: "Don't ask". They decided to keep silent, in case they made him angrier.
Most of the class was laughing as Jimmy struggled to get all the toilet paper off him. Cindy looked at him in pity, but didn't say anything.
Mrs. Ruford, their English teacher, was not one you wanted to cross. She was quite intimidating and was about 6'4. If you were caught in the act, she gave you "the look" and then sent you to the principal.
Most of them worked in silence, Carl often asking Jimmy what the terms meant. Mrs. Ruford eventually dismissed them and they went to History with Mr. Owen.
However, Dash wasn't going to let things be. He threw Jimmy in his locker and locked the door. He soon got out using his laser pen, but was late to class, so he got a detention.
The rest of the day passed without any more bullying from Dash and Nick. Still, Danny was just about ready to hit them, and Jimmy wasn't far behind.
After school, they again went to the lab, where Will had some exciting news. He seemed very pleased with his work.
"I think I found a way to help Sheen control his powers." said Will. "I took some ectoplasm from the ghost-zone and reversed the effect by adding snake venom. Don't worry, the venom won't do anything to harm you."
"Cool!" said Sheen. "When do I get it injected?"
"This can also create a halfa if you get enough of it in your blood, though you'll have more control than if you were pushed into the ghost-zone." continued Will. "All I have to do is inject it."
He injected the serum into Sheen and he immediately felt a difference. None of his body parts turned intangible, but it was too soon to tell if it worked. Carl was extremely confused, as was Sheen. Even Jimmy was wondering what difference it would make, but was willing to wait.
"Did you see any ghosts I could fight?" asked Sheen.
"Just count me out of it." said Carl.
"Well, there was one ghost that came out." said Will. "He called himself the Box Ghost, but ran for hills once I shot him with my laser pistol."
Since he had many enemies, Will always kept a laser pistol with him. Whenever he knew he was in danger, he brought his laser rifle with him. At full power, it could destroy a light tank.
"Jimmy, time for dinner." said Judy Neutron, Jimmy's mother.
"Guys, I got to go." said Jimmy. "I'll see you after dinner."
"Now it's time to continue your training, Sheen." said Will. Sheen followed and they were learning physical fighting. Sheen was ready to go ghost, but Will said it wasn't necessary. Carl even joined in and it was 2 against 1.
Though Sheen got a few hits in (Since Will wasn't fighting at full skill) he was still beaten pretty badly. He only had a few minor bruises, since they had protection equipment.
Carl wasn't any help at all. He swung once, and Will took him out instantly. The fight was over within 3 minutes, but Will had trained in combat (mainly marital arts) for 4 years, and even taught Jimmy some things. He was capable of beating even the legendary Cindy Vortex, something she was not happy about.
Carl and Sheen were just hanging out, doing nothing. Still, Will had a feeling Sheen was going into battle soon, and he'd have to win, or innocent people would be hurt.
Goddard's barking pulled him out of his thoughts. He petted the dog, who was asking where Jimmy was. When he pointed him towards the Neutron home, he got there in a second.
While the boys were in the lab, Cindy and Libby were having a sleepover.
"I doubt Jimmy's ever going to return my feelings." Cindy moaned. "I treated him too badly over the years. I just wish my heart wasn't torn between him and Nick"
"He could surprise you, you know." said Libby. "There's something they're not telling us, though. My instincts tell me it's something dangerous, but in the meanwhile, I'll be listening to music. Still, I have faith in you. Whoever you choose, I hope you have a long relationship."
As Libby hummed along with her headphones, Cindy was dreaming about Jimmy until there was a wind. Curiously, she looked at the window but it was closed.
"I am Seer." said a voice. "I was sent by William to give a proposal."
"What would that be?" asked Cindy. "If it's another dangerous adventure, count me out."
"Jimmy will need your help." said Seer. "There is a deadly enemy, and Jimmy will need all the help he can get."
"How are we going to help him?" asked Libby, having taken off her headphones.
"Friends must stick together in the times ahead." said Seer. "There will be 3 enemies you must face, and you will not beat them without the halfa. Already there are 2 in Retroville."
"That could be the secret Sheen was trying to hide!" exclaimed Libby. "But what's a halfa?"
"It is a rare breed, half ghost and half human." said Seer. "There are 3 in existence, 2 in Retroville."
"What can a halfa do?" asked Cindy.
"A halfa has ghost powers, and can do many things, as well as having advantages over pure humans and ghosts. Still, it takes a long time to fully control your power, about 5 months."
"Thanks for the information, but why should I trust you?"
"You can trust me, or you can see the destruction of Retroville."
"You make a good point." said Libby. "Will you help us fight?"
"I cannot, for then I could easily fall the darkness that claims most ghosts."
He then left, leaving Cindy and Libby to contemplate what he had said, and neither fully understand, but they were willing to fight.
The next day at school (Friday) they were having a celebration, since they had just won their championship football game. (I know it's usually in the fall, but just say that Soccer and Football seasons are switched around) It was mainly thanks to Dash Baxter, and almost everybody gave a loud cheer.
Jimmy, Will, Carl, Sheen, and Goddard were sitting in the back, not joining in. There was a loud groaning sound, and a ghost jellyfish showed itself. Most of them were in a panic, some of them blaming Jimmy.
They got their weapons ready, and once Sheen was undercover, he went ghost. Will tried to conceal it, telling Sheen to follow him and be ready to back them up if they need it.
"Goddard, fire tentacle." said Jimmy. He obliged, but the ghost phased through. He and Sheen flew up, waiting to meet him. Will came back and called Goddard off, saying this was Sheen's fight.
Sheen threw a punch at the jellyfish, but it didn't take any serious harm. It fired a ectoplasmic blast, knocking Sheen into the gym wall, but he soon recovered and gave it a drop kick.
The battle went on, neither opponent winning. Jimmy was pointing his weapon at it, while Will had the Thermos ready.
The Jellywish wrapped Sheen up in it's tentacles, and the green and White hybrid could not escape.
"Sheen, try and slam it against the wall!" said Jimmy.
Sheen did so, and managed to free himself. He was beginning to get the upper hand, though the jellyfish still had some fight left.
It then fired a blast that could do serious harm to Sheen. With difficulty, Sheen phased through it, and the blast made a large hole in the wall. He then grabbed it's tentacles and slammed him against the ground again and again.
When it was weakened, Jimmy opened the Thermos, trapping the jellyfish inside. Sheenwas back to human form.
"That was the toughest fight I ever had." said Sheen. "I'm going to be feeling this for a while."
"Still, you managed to beat him." said Jimmy. "Great job, Sheen!"
"I probably would have thrown up." said Carl.
"I don't think you can in ghost form." said Will. "Still, you're going to have to keep training. I think that was probably a weak ghost."
"At least I beat that one!" exclaimed Sheen. "I can't wait to tell Libby."
"You Can't do that, Sheen." said Jimmy. "If anyone else finds out, you'll be labeled as a freak. Well, more so than you are now."
"At least we won this battle." said Carl.
"But the deadliest enemy is yet to come." said Will.
Well, that's the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll get chapter 4 out soon, and start working on my Digimon/HP crossover.
