Riverfox237: thanks for the review. I LOVE Wulf. He is my favorite ghost in the whole show. Danny would be, but I believe his ghost side is evil. Lol. I also love chicken wings…

A/N: bear with me, this chapter was hard to write (I can't write action scenes)… and I'm not sure if Wulf can fly, but in here he can. Deal with it.

Chapter 8: Surprise Attack

Around three-thirty in the morning, Danny, Wulf, and Dana (as an owl) were gliding slowly in the Ghost Zone, toward the wolves' floating island, which was a few city blocks away. They couldn't come up to quickly on them.

Dana was a little weighted down by a small cylinder in her right talon. Inside the cylinder was the new Fenton Fisher. Danny had, a few minutes earlier, snuck into his parents' room where it had been kept. He had also set the homing hook on a specific ghost wolf.

The odd group was close enough now to see the island. Under it was a larger island. The group hovered in place.

"What's going on?" Danny asked Dana. Her eyes could see every hair on a caterpillar from twenty yards away at the dead of night. The island would be all too easy to see.

"The wolves are on the upper island. Humans are on the lower one. I can see a man in an orange jumpsuit ranting, and a woman in a blue jumpsuit calming him down. A redheaded teenage girl is talking to them. I can also see Tucker and Sam…I think they're arguing."

Danny rolled his eyes. He was happy, though, Sam and Tucker were safe. So were his parents and sister. "Where's Darksun?"

"He's sitting there, on a rock, alone. He wont be when we get there, though."

"Are we ready?"

"You sure this is going to work?"

"No."

"Yeah, I'm ready. Wulf?" Wulf nodded.

They flew, this time faster, toward Darksun. Dana worked to keep up, wishing there were thermals in the Ghost Zone. When they were only a hundred yards off, every ghost wolf raised a shaggy head to look at them (The ones that had heads, anyway).

"It's Danny Phantom!" shouted Paulina from the island below, "See? I told you he would save us!"

"Danny!" cheered Tucker and Sam.

"Hey look!" Shouted Danny, trying to get the attention of the wolves, which, of course, he already had. "Fresh meat here!" he pointed to himself. Then he rose, flipped back, and, with face pointed down, fell.

Wulf flew invisibly below the smaller island. He got to the underside farthest from Darksun's rock. Once there, he dug his nails in and hung upside down, waiting. Dana began flying into the mass of wolves.

"Get him!" ordered Darksun.

Every dead wolf jumped off the ground and flew for where Danny had been before he had fallen. Dana just made it to the outside of them. They were heading right for her. She would crash if she didn't change course. Right before the impact, the wolves split apart; half kept going below and half kept going above. It was as if Dana's wings were knives and the wolves were butter.

'Ha Ha!' Dana laughed madly in her mind. 'They can't touch me!' she would have smiled if she had a mouth.

The wolves continued flying around Dana and followed Danny. He was flying fast and far. Once they got close to him he stopped and flew straight up. The swarm turned and followed. Danny made his way for the wolves' island again. He was getting close.

Darksun was still on his rock, standing now. Dana was hovering above him.

"What do you two think you can do?" he laughed. Dana said nothing in response.

Danny closed in on the edge of the land. Nanoseconds after he passed it Wulf sprung up, causing the wolves to stop in confusion. He created a portal and threw some inside. Danny was getting close to Darksun's rock.

"Now!"

Dana threw the Fenton Fisher to Danny, who caught it and sent the end after the ghost winged wolf. It hooked on a patch of fur and spiraled around the wolf's body. He couldn't call for his army; the fishing line had knocked the wind out of him.

Danny backtracked and ran right in the middle of the wolves, phasing through them. Surprised again, they turned tail and followed him.

Dana landed in front of her struggling brother. She morphed into her winged wolf form.

"Is this your plan?" grunted Darksun. "To crush my wings? I'm a ghost, it wont stop me from flying."

"I'm not here to hurt you."

"Just trap me!"

"For now, yes."

His temper had reached to boiling point. He was trapped again! Trapped, like he had been in that god-forsaking body.

"Guards!"

"'Guards!'" she mocked. "Oh," She looked behind her, "Looks like they can't hear you."

"What is this?" he said through clenched teeth. "You can't beat me."

"Incorrect. You mean I can't beat your army. This is true, but they aren't here at the moment. You, I can beat."

"Why are you doing this?"

"I haven't done anything. I'm just here to talk."

"I want you to free me."

"I'm sure you do." She turned to look at Danny. With her wolf eyes he looked like a fly being chased by bees. "What have you done?" she whispered dramatically.

"Given the humans what they asked for."

"These humans? What have they done?"

"It's what their kind has done."

"Their kind? Sunny, you are their kind; you're human."

"I was human."

"You still are."

"No I'm not. I stopped being human when I…"

"Was trapped in that body?"

"After that. When I killed."

Dana was shocked. "Who have you killed?"

"No one. I took a life. It wasn't human."

"When? What happened?"

"It happened when my heart still beat, before that farmer shot it. I had been stuck in the wolf's body for weeks. Hunger pulled at my stomach. I felt like I would die. It was driving me crazy, thinking I would die as a beast. The wolf, he spoke to me."

"He told you to kill?"

"Yes. Told me I shouldn't have to die. And I wouldn't, if I hunted. I refused, but that didn't stop him. He took me to a farm, and made me kill a cow. After its neck broke, the farmer came outta nowhere. He shot me."

"He was protecting his farm."

"He killed. And I killed. None of it matters anymore."

"These humans will die. They're stuck there with no food."

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does. These are humans. Whatever you killed was going to be killed anyway. Like killing a squirrel before it was run over."

He growled again. "It doesn't matter."

She looked over her brother's body to the empty Ghost Zone below.

"Would it matter if I pushed you off your rock and into space?"

His eyes widened. "I'd be falling forever!"

"Exactly."

"You wouldn't."

"The human, Dana, wouldn't." She lowered her head and stared into his eyes. " But the wolf, Dreama, might."
