Chapter 2: From Boy to Halfa
As Grim continued to read his to-do list, Billy pulled on Grim's sleeve.
"Hey Grim!" shouted Billy.
"What?" asked Grim, "I'm reading what's next on my to-do list. Can't it wait?"
"Apparently with Billy it can't" replied Mandy.
"What is it?" asked Grim to Billy.
"I was wondering, since I saw this new cool super power" replied Billy, "you know from that ghost boy that attacked you along with that cool-looking ghost hunter."
"Yea?" continued Grim.
"I was wondering if you could use your Scythe to make me into a ghost power" replied Billy.
"You mean halfa, right?" asked Grim.
"Whatever" replied Billy, "just get with the Scythe and start working its magic on me."
"No!" replied Grim, "I will not use my Scythe again to give you super powers."
"Yea Billy" said Mandy, "I remember the last time you begged Grim to give you super powers. And they were pretty lame."
"Yea, and I had to throw in the flying power because you never suggested it" added Grim.
"But this time it's different" said Billy, "I mean if someone is half ghost you can fly around, be invisible and probably take over people's bodies!"
"I don't like where this is going" said Mandy.
"Come on Grim" said Billy as he kneeled down toward Grim, "please!"
"No!" replied Grim, "I'll not give you those powers. There is already rumors that the ghost boy who attacked me has a super villain who has the same powers he does. I don't need a third halfa to deal with."
"Please! Please! Please! Please! Please!" begged Billy.
"No, no and no!" replied Grim.
Suddenly Billy kept on saying the word please to Grim. Eventually after several minutes later, Grim was starting to get irritated by Billy's begging and even Mandy was getting annoyed as well.
"Just give him the stupid powers so that we don't have to listen to him anymore!" shouted Mandy.
"Fine!" said Grim as he shouted back at Mandy.
"Yea!" cheered Billy.
"But first you need a jumpsuit of some sort" said Grim, "so that when you turn into your ghost mode only that jumpsuit will be visible."
Grim then tapped the button of his Scythe on the street and the suitcase Grim had earlier appeared out of thin air. He then proceeded with opening the suitcase and took out a jumpsuit from the suitcase. He also got out a sticker that had the letter B in cursive and placed it on the front of the jumpsuit.
"Put this on" said Grim as he handed the jumpsuit to Billy.
As Billy placed the jumpsuit on, Billy placed the jumpsuit on backwards, which also placed the B that was placed on the jumpsuit backwards as well.
"Okay Grim, I'm ready!" shouted Billy.
"Billy, your jumpsuit is on backwards" said Grim.
"So put it on the right way" added Mandy.
"Come on" said Billy, "I want to be a halfa now!"
"Just do it and get it over with so I don't have to hear Billy beg anymore" said Mandy.
Grim then aimed his Scythe's blade at Billy. Suddenly Grim fired a strange green beam from his Scythe and the green beam hits Billy. Billy could feel his DNA changing right inside him. As the smoke from the green beam cleared, Billy was shocked and surprised that he had white hair and of course glowing green eyes.
"Cool!" shouted Billy, "I'm a halfa!"
Billy then started to fly around Grim and Mandy in circles laughing loudly.
"Look, I have a ghost tail!" shouted Billy in a happy mood.
"That's nice" said Grim, "now go bug somebody else with your new found powers."
"I just hope Billy doesn't abuse his new powers" said Mandy.
As Billy was having the time of his life flying around the city in his ghost mode, somebody was watching him from a safe distance. Skulcker watched Billy through his binoculars he was carrying. He was shocked that this was a new ghost boy he had never seen before.
"This ghost boy must be new in town" said Skulcker.
Skulcker then takes out his weapon. He aims carefully at Billy as he was flying around town. A net from the weapon captures Billy and brings Billy toward him.
"Hey, let me out of here!" cried Billy as he tried to get out of the net.
"You must be new in town" said Skulcker, "allow me to introduce myself, I'm Skulcker, the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter!"
"Ghost Zone, what's that?" asked Billy.
"You never heard of it?" asked Skulcker in an astonished voice, "And how did you get your powers?"
"From the Grim Reaper's Scythe!" replied Billy, "Why did you asked?"
"You know the Grim Reaper!" asked Skulcker as he let Billy out of the net.
"Know the Grim Reaper?" replied Billy, "He's my friend-slave."
"Friend-slave?" asked Skulcker.
"Yea" replied Billy, "Grim lost to Mandy when he tried to reap the soul of my pet hamster."
"You mean to say you control the Grim Reaper?" asked Skulcker.
"Not really though" replied Billy, "that's what Mandy's job is."
"Hmm, this is interesting" said Skulcker, "I was going to get revenge on the Grim Reaper for putting me on this situation, but if his Scythe gave you those ghost powers, then I am more interested in his Scythe. And I just know who else might be as well."
"You mean that other halfa-villain Grim was talking about?" asked Billy.
"How did you know about that too?" asked Skulcker.
"Grim told me" replied Billy.
As Skulcker was about to take Billy back into the Ghost Zone, a green beam from nowhere hits Skulcker, knocking him down. Skulcker gets himself up from the ground only to find Danny Phantom floating in front of him.
"I'm going to give you to three to stop whoever you were hurting" said Danny as he landed on the roof.
"Me, hurting the new halfa in town?" asked Skulcker.
"What are you talking about?" replied Danny.
"He means me!" shouted Billy as he appeared out of nowhere beside Danny.
"You're the new halfa?" asked Danny.
"Yep" replied Billy.
"Enough of the chit chat" said Skulcker, "since there are two halfas, I am going to take in both of you!"
"Fine with me" said Danny.
Danny then launched his attack against Skulcker, giving Skulcker a good punch and a kick. He then fired his ghost beam at Skulcker, sending Skulcker flying over the roof. Skulcker then activated his jetpack and raced toward Danny, with his fist aimed right at him. Danny turned invisible and grabbed Skulcker's leg and started to swing Skulcker and then let him go flying into a water tower. As Skulcker was trying to recover, Danny took out the Fenton thurmus and sucked Skulcker in.
"Is that for soup?" asked Billy.
"No" replied Danny, "this is the Fenton thurmus it is suppose to suck ghosts into the Ghost Zone."
"Can I come and see this Ghost Zone?" asked Billy.
"Sure" replied Danny, "just follow me."
As Danny flew away back to his house, Billy closely followed behind.
