Hallelujah she updated. LoL. HI PEOPLE! (Not counting Am cuz I dunno what she is) First, I want to say that your reviews made me SOOOOOOO happy! And AM, READ THE STORY BEFORE YOU REVIEW! (smacks Amanda over the head with the baseball bat) And second . . .
THANKS TO MY REVIEWERS! YOU MADE ME REALLY HAPPY!
Can-I-Bounce-The-Ferret: Three words Am . . . 1) TOO 2) MUCH 3) INFORMATION! Okay, to do you your favor, If anyone likes Harry Potter, Am has a story about it on her account. It's called You Won't Stand In My Way. Back to the review, a ghost won't fly up your butt Am, don't worry. Oh and, I hope you made it to the bathroom in time. LoL. Next gym, when I bat, I'm gonna make sure I hit the ball and it hits you. If it doesn't hit you, I'll "accidentally" drop the bat on my next swing so that it hits you. Maybe THEN you'll read the story!
Cakreut: I love leaving major cliffies. Hehe, I have my bat ready if anyone tries to strangle me. BTW, glad you woke up. Now I don't have to drop my Science homework on your head (not that Istarted it anyway). Actually, I think science would make you sleep more. Anyway, enjoy this chapter!
Hearts of Eternity: Your review had me screaming with joy for hours. THANK YOU SO MUCH! OMG! Prepare for a long response. GAGH! NO! Danny must live. He can't ever ever EVER die. The cute guys don't die :) And yes, Danny would die if his ghost side got sucked out which means he'd better run as fast he possibly can. This is the first time someone's called me an amazing writer! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You made my day by saying that! I actually got up and started doing a little victory dance. LoL! And then I read what you said about doing a happy dance whenever I update. That was cool. Thanks again and feel free to do a happy dance because I updated!
Purrbaby101: VERY evil cliffy. Maybe Danny won't have to explain anything. Maybe he will. You'll just have to read and find out. And for all those Danny lovers, he's not dying in this chapter, but his secret is in danger.
Cyllwen: You're another one who made me very happy by saying "I love this". I'm so happy! Here's more for you and thanks!
Asilla: If you yell like Danny did, even I'll be able to hear you. LoL. And since you must have the next chapter, here it is.
Catnip070: A new reviewer! Yay! Hi, and as I said to Purrbaby101, maybe he won't have to explain. Maybe he will. You won't know until you read :)
Larianne: You used a double wow! Yay! I didn't see it coming either. I just created it as a I went along. I never expected to make that his dream. And then to have his parents see him. Nope, sometimes, thoughts just come to me and I write it without realizing. But in a way I do because I'm creating it. Gagh! Whatever. I'm confusing myself. LoL. It's almost impossible for me to have writer's block. Lucky for you people. Thanks for the review!
Wishing For Rain: As evil as the cliffy? Uh oh. Time to get the bat. "That was also a very good explanation of how Danny got his powers!" Thanks! I was making it up as I went along. I didn't really plan it out. I also tried to keep events the way I saw them in the theme song. I'm glad you like it. Ooh! You put another chapter up! Must read.
SashaJeanneW0lf: LOL! That was a very lovely and unexpected meeting I had with the wall. And very painful too. LoL. Don't woryy, the dent isn't that big. My heads not too big because of the lack of brains. Wow, people usually tell me to get up off my lazy butt, but you're telling me to be lazy. YAY! AH! NO! NOT THE Q-TIP! SPARE HIM! SPARE THE CUTE GUY! NOOOOOO! (shouts as loud as Danny did in his dream) Ow, my ears hurt.
Bluish Black Dolphin: Yes, it all kind of is a nightmare. First reliving the event and then his parents seeing Public Enemy #1 in their son's room. Not good.
Angel Of Forgotton Souls: It's not that bad as it seems. He'll be okay :D
Fantastic Bouncy Girl: Yep, we know now how Danny got his powers, but keep in mind that I finished this story before season 1 was over so chapter 8 was completed before Memory Blank aired.
phantomshadowdragon: You can pretty much tell his parents would be kinda weirded out. And sad to say, the dream ended when he woke up, so him sitting on his bd as Danny Phantom is all real. Ouch, eh? But, Danny is Danny and he always has a way.
JD Phoenix: Cake is unhealthy. Stay, read, ignore the evil temptations of cake and stay with your eyes glued to the screen. Heh heh . . .
V1rg1n1a: I know that's not how Memory Blank said it happened. This fic was created before Season Two began, but oh well. I have my own version now :D And thanks.
THANKS AGAIN TO MY REVIEWERS! You made me very happy, but unfortunately, I could not update until the weekend. School is BLEGH isn't it?
Amity's Hero
Chapt 9- A New Enemy
Danny turned back to his parents. They looked petrified. Jack was the first to open his mouth.
"What'd you do to my son you fiend!"
Danny flew out of bed, but Maddie raised the bazooka and aimed it at him.
"Where's Danny?" she demanded, examining the ghost. As she said this, she realized that Inviso-Bill reminded her a lot of her son. Jack took his wife's confused look as a sign that Inviso-Bill was trying to hypnotize her so he raised the GRC and fired. Danny screamed, but his shout was echoed by another — Jazz's. She covered her mouth quickly incase her parents said anything.
Danny flew out of the way. The GRC was more advanced than the thermos. The thermos sucked him in ghost and human. Maybe the GRC would only remove his ghost side. That would cause a lot of problems. For one, Danny's secret would be revealed if Inviso-Bill flew out of him. Another thing that worried him was the fact that his molecules were infused with his ghost energy. Removing his ghost half would damage him seriously.
Danny dodged another hit from the GRC. Thinking quickly, Jazz turned around.
"Is that Danny?" she asked, pointing towards the hall. Her parents turned around. Danny flew out of the house immediately (not far enough to pass the ghost shield) and then went back in through the kitchen and transformed. He took a deep breath as he looked around the dark room for any sign of his family. That was too close.
He heard footsteps and slowly walked out of the kitchen. Jazz was walking upstairs with Maddie and Jack following behind with their weapons raised. Sighing with relief that he managed to escape that predicament, Danny walked back into the kitchen. He still felt the pain from his dream. But why? That happened a few months ago. Why did he have a dream about that now?
"Danny?" he heard his mom call. Danny looked up quickly. He got up, poured himself a cup of water, and ran upstairs.
"I'm here," he called when he was a foot away from his bedroom door. Maddie, Jack, and Jazz turned around. Jazz looked relieved and his parents looked worried.
"Are you all right?"
Danny nodded.
"Why are you up?" he asked.
"We heard you screaming," his mom replied.
"People in China could've heard that!" Jack called. He was still looking for Inviso-Bill at the end of the hall. Danny tried to look confused.
"Screaming? I never screamed. I got up a few minutes ago to get a drink of water," he said, holding up the glass.
"Inviso-Bill was in your room," his mother said, more angry than worried. "Ooh when I see him tomorrow I'm gonna—"
"Uh huh. Yeah mom. You do that. Good night," Danny said quickly, dashing to his room and closing the door before she could say another word.
Danny put the glass of water on his desk and sat on his bed. He put his head in his hands and sighed.
"What just happened? I transformed in my sleep? How on earth did I manage to escape that one?"
He fell back into his pillow and looked up. He never wanted to relive what happened and now he had a dream about it. And what's worse is that he felt the pain. And he felt the fear of the first time seeing himself as a ghost. It all seemed so real, but it wasn't.
He continued pondering about the dream for the next hour. Finally, when he closed his eyes to continue his sleep, Danny smiled. He always thought there was nothing different about him. A few days after that, he redefined the word "unique".
Meanwhile
Jack stared at the window. He was able to see a glowing green shield a few feet ahead.
"I don't get it," he said, turning to his wife. "The ghost shield was up this whole time. How did he get in?"
"I don't know Jack. Maybe he flew through the ground, went under our house, and then flew in from the floor. Whatever happened, we should worry about tomorrow. I can't think straight at the moment."
Jack shrugged and lay down, making sure to hold his teddy bear tightly incase of another ghost "attack". Maddie yawned and walked across the room to lie down, but something else caught her attention. It was a photo album. In the closet next to it was a drawer full of Inviso-Bill pictures. She opened the drawer and took out a few pictures. Then she grabbed the album and set them both on a desk.
She opened the album and flipped to the pages of fourteen year-old Danny. Then she put a similar picture of Inviso-Bill next to it. Her eyes widened when she saw the two of them. They looked exactly the same!
Well, if the pictures were without color they would. She was amazed at how similar Danny and the town's #1 enemy were. She wanted to call Jack, but she heard his snoring and decided not to.
Come to think of it, Maddie thought, Danny's never around when Inviso-Bill is. I wonder if he noticed that they look alike. And why would Inviso-Bill be in Danny's room?
She stared at the pictures for a few seconds. More thoughts continued swimming into her mind. Ghost detectors were always pointing at Danny. And he was always acting strangely when she and Jack mentioned ghosts.
A few days after the accident, he was always leaning on a wall and when I turned around to speak to Jack and then looked back, he was gone. As if he fell through the wall.
Maddie thought for a few seconds and then came to a conclusion.
"There are only two possibilities. Either Danny's constantly being possessed by ghosts whenever our gadgets are around him, or he has some connection to Inviso-Bill."
She took another look at the pictures.
"Could it be that he is Inviso-Bill?"
Her heart sank. There were a lot of similarities between the two, but her son would never try to harm anyone. Would he? She didn't hang around him much during the day anymore so she didn't really know what he would or wouldn't do.
"No," she said firmly. "I know him well enough to know that he was raised right. Besides, he's alive so he can't be a ghost because that would make him partially dead. But that's impossible. No one can be partially dead," she said knowingly, not caring that she was speaking aloud to herself. She put the album and pictures back and went to sleep.
"You transformed in your sleep?" Sam asked in a disbelievingly.
"Yeah," Danny replied simply. He didn't tell Tucker and Sam what his dream was about.
"After you had a dream?"
Danny nodded.
"Maybe you reacted to your dream?" Tucker suggested.
"That's probably it. By the way, did you hear that shout last night?" Sam asked. Danny paused. Tucker shrugged.
"I forgot about that. Whatever. There was no ambulance so it's obviously nothing to worry about. What was your dream about?"
They were at Tucker's house playing video games. Sam was winning.
"The accident," Danny muttered.
"The what?" Sam asked, not catching what he said.
"The accident," Danny repeated. His friends gasped and turned to him.
"But that was four months ago," Tucker stated.
"Yeah, I know. And the weird thing is I felt the pain. It was strange."
"Maybe a ghost attacked you in your sleep and you reacted without realizing it?" Sam said. Danny shook his head.
"No. The ghost shield was up. No ghost could've gotten in."
"Why'd you dream about the accident?"
"I dunno. I remember thinking about what Star said at the Nasty Burger. She knows I was in the lab when it happened."
"Wait, back up," Sam interrupted. "Star? You were talking to Star?"
"Yeah, when you left. Then Tucker went to Valerie and Star came to me and started asking about—"
"FREEZE!"
Danny fell off the couch in shock and landed on Tucker and Sam. Tucker's parents ran into the living room with the ghost gadgets in their hands. They looked around and lowered the weapons.
"Kids, are you all right?" Tuck's mother asked.
"That's strange. I was sure I heard Inviso-Bill," his dad said, turning to leave.
"We'll keep looking. Oh and Tucker, close the window. It's freezing," his mom said before exiting the room.
"Um, I think it's best if we leave," Sam suggested, turning off the game. "Danny shouldn't stay in one place for too long. It's hot out and people will notice the drop in temperature. Let's go."
As soon as she, Tucker, and Danny got up to leave, a blue vapor escaped Danny's mouth.
"Uh, guys, I'm gonna have to catch up with you later."
"Going to, and why?" Sam asked.
"I think we have company."
Just then, the room turned dark and began to glow green.
"I'm going ghost!" Danny declared. Just as he said this, a cloud of smoke appeared before them. It began to take shape and a crimson-haired ghost appeared before them. Her hair was tied into a ponytail with a teal ribbon and extended a few inches below her shoulders. Her eyes were as dark as her locks. She had a blue dress on that made it look like she was getting ready for a party. Overall, the ghost seemed to be around the age of sixteen.
"Who are you?" Danny asked, forgetting to go ghost. The ghost narrowed her eyes and smiled. This was definitely a bad sign.
"My name is Sana. Make fun of it and I can assure you won't be laughing for long," she threatened with a harsh and loud voice. Danny raised a brow.
"And if you're wondering, I am not on your side," Sana continued.
"So why are you here?" Sam asked, stepping in front of Danny defensively. Sana raised a brow.
"And who are you? His girlfriend?"
Sam looked ready to strangle her.
"I AM NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!" she shouted in annoyance as though she had repeated it countless times before.
"Why are you here?" Danny asked, shifting his head a bit to the left to see the ghost. Sana's smile grew larger.
"Oh yes. I forgot. I have come here to thank you."
Danny gave her a quizzical look.
"Thank me? For what?"
Sana smiled in a way that seemed like she was mocking his lack of knowledge.
"I've been waiting for ages for you to have a dream about that night," she explained cheerfully.
"Why?" Danny asked. He was already afraid of what the answer might be.
Sana sat down, but ended up sitting on air.
"It's kind of a long story. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a ghost."
"That explains the smoke," Tucker said in an understanding tone. Sana stared at him pitifully and then continued.
"You see, I died in my sleep. It was after a party. I don't remember what exactly happened to me to make me fall asleep right after, but that's not important. I just so happened to have a dream that night too. When I became a ghost, I was able to see people's dreams without really being next to them. That was a major advantage since you had that ghost shield up every night since the attack."
"You can go into people's dreams?" Tucker asked, dumbfounded. Sana nodded.
"I can't control dreams, but I can see them. Well, not everyone's. I have to practice with every person. It took two weeks of practice to be able to see your dreams, Fenton. I was never out of the Ghost Zone. I stayed in my dimension room for years, trying to master my dream-seeing abilities. When I did leave the room, I was captured by Walker. I didn't want to spend the rest of my after-life in a ghost prison so I told him about my powers. This was shortly after you escaped. He told me about you and your real identity. He also told me about his plan to turn your town against you.
"He made a deal with me. If I could invade your dreams and find out who and what you care about most, he would set me free. Of course, I agreed. I practiced getting into your dreams, but I had to rush it because he wasn't giving me much time. Because I didn't get enough time to practice seeing your dreams, there was a bit of a mess up. When you have really intense dreams and I invade them, you'll feel the pain. But that was your problem, not mine."
Danny listened to her story. She was giving him answers. Now he knew why it felt so real.
" Walker was growing impatient. You didn't have any dreams of things you cared about. Well, except the dream of you going to the spring dance with Sa—"
"—omebody!" Danny finished. He looked nervously at Sam, but she was looking at Sana.
"Yes. Somebody. Anyway, by the time I found this out, Walker already began destroying your reputation and he told me the deal was off. He and his guards tried capturing me again, but I escaped."
"So why are you against me?" Danny asked.
"Because if you had that dream sooner, I would've been free forever!"
"I doubt that. You can't trust Walker."
"And I can't trust you either," she snapped. "I don't trust anyone."
"Forget that. What were you talking about earlier?" Tucker asked. "With the dream that Danny had last night."
"Oh yes!" Sana exclaimed happily. "Not too long after Walker ruined your reputation, I heard a lot of talk in the Ghost Zone about a halfa. I knew it was you since Walker told me. Since I already disliked you, I figured it'd be fun to ruin your life a bit more. Kind of to extend Walker's plan. I wanted to reveal your secret to the town."
Danny gasped.
"You are evil!"
Sana laughed. "Yes. I've been waiting for a long time to see a dream that has you switching to your ghost self. But you kept dreaming about the spring dance."
"Which I do not wish to go to with anyone yet," Danny said nervously, glancing back at Sam.
"Right," Sana continued disbelievingly. "Anyway, yesterday my wish came true thanks to the help of Desiree. That dream you had is the perfect thing to use against you."
"What do you mean?" Danny questioned. "Dreams aren't always real. So what? People see me becoming Inviso-Bill. It's just a dream."
"Yes, it is a dream, Fenton. But don't forget, the news about your accident in the lab spread quickly. Practically everyone knows about that. And after the accident, you were acting strangely. Everything became cold around you, you were there one second and gone the next, and everyone in the town heard that shout from when you saw your reflection. I know this because your shout yesterday was equally as loud and almost all of Amity heard it then too."
Sam and Tucker turned to Danny. He was looking very tense.
"And if they remember that and find connections in your dream, they can put two and two together and realize that you became Danny Phantom because of the accident in your parents' lab."
"And how do you expect to show them my dream?" Danny asked. Sana smiled her evil smile and then flew out of Tucker's house. Danny transformed and followed.
He looked around in search of the ghost-teen. Suddenly, there was a flash of red light and he turned around, only to get hit with a red gust of wind and sent flying into the nearest sidewalk.
He got up quickly and flew back into the air. Sana didn't fly away. She just stared at him with her evil grin.
"To answer your question, Fenton, I already told you that have more than one power. I can see people's dreams and replay them whenever I like.
"What?" Danny asked, hoping she didn't mean what he thought she meant.
"That's right. All I have to do is get everyone in Amity Park in one area and then use my other ability to replay everything you dreamt about last night."
Danny didn't say anything. He was too stunned to speak.
"You wouldn't . . ." he muttered.
"Time for everyone to know who Inviso-Bill really is!" Sana shouted gleefully, raising her hands so that a vibrant red light began to glow in them.
" Sana, NO!" Danny pleaded.

Okay so this chapter wasn't too interesting, but I had an idea for a future chapter that I already have written down. I don't know what chapt it'll be or what the title is, but I wrote down the idea so it won't take me long to update for that one. That should make you a bit happy. As for the name 'Sana', don't ask. It was the first thing to pop into my head so I just used it. Another thing I must add, Sam and Tucker don't know that Star knows Danny's real ghost name because he never finished his sentence due to Tucker's parents running into the room. Okay, just wanted to say that.
