Danny stopped his bike in the middle of a long street. Nightclubs, bars, and theaters filled this area of the city. The Eastern District was also known as the entertainment section. Ace barked as he looked at all the neon lights. Amazingly, this part of the city was almost deserted. He spotted a few vampires walking from club to club. "This place is either empty or everyone is inside." He looked to the whip on his arm, but it wasn't doing anything. Danny hid his bike in a small alley and started to walk down one of the sidewalks.
Ace followed him sniffing around.
They past several skeletons armed with a verity of weapons, but none of them took notice. Danny stopped and looked around, "Am I not that important?" He scratched his head, "The overlord could be anywhere." He sighed and created an orb of white energy, "Guess I will just have to draw attention to myself." He flung the orb into a glass window and it exploded inside. Several teenage vampires jumped out of the broken window and glared at him. "That is much more like it!" They roared and charged him. Ace jumped onto Danny's shoulder as he flew into the air, "So where is your leader today?" He fired a holy beam that destroyed three of the vampires. "More low levels." He heard a flapping sound and looked up. A giant bat was flying at him. Danny dropped to the ground as it flew over him and landed. Humanoid with giant bat wings on its arms. Its face was shaped like a bat. "I take it your just an oversized guard."
The man bat screeched and flew into the air. The vampires lunged at Danny while his focus was on the giant bat. Ace jumped off of his shoulder and tackled one to the ground. Danny spun around and kicked several to the ground. The man bat swooped down at him and slammed him several feet across the street. Danny rolled to his feet and fired a twin pair of ghost beams. The bat dodged and shot into the air. "Ace! Be careful!" The dog barked as Danny flew after the man bat.
The man bat's fur was dark and Danny had trouble spotting it in the night sky. "So you like to hide." Danny pulled out one of his lightning stones, "Let there be light!" He tossed it into the air and it exploding, illumining the area around him. The bat shrieked as Danny spotted him. He flew at it and grabbed its leg. He spun the bat around and tossed it towards the ground. Before it had a chance to regain its flight, Danny slammed into it and slammed it into the ground. The street cracked under the impact and Danny landed a few feet away. "Any chance you will talk to me?"
The man bat got up and screeched extremely loud. The sound caused all the glass around it to shatter and Danny had to grasp his ears. Danny dropped down and yelled out with his ghostly wail. The green shockwave slammed into the man bat and caused it to fall to the ground. Danny pulled the stake from his belt and flew towards it. He impaled the wooden weapon into its chest and it exploded into ash and dust. Danny looked around, the vampires had vanished, "Back to square one." Ace ran up and Danny patted his head, "Lets keep looking."
Sam woke up to find herself strapped to a table with metal restraints. Her wrist, legs, and stomach were pinned down with heavy metal. She spotted a pair of red glowing eyes in the darkness around her, "Damn you Vlad! When Danny gets a hold of you." She screamed out as her left wrist restraint suddenly got searing hot. She looked over to see a single finger on it. It belong to an older male teen. He had glowing red eyes and blue hair. "Burn! What are you doing here?"
"I find his abilities make him extremely suited for the task at hand." Vlad laughed from the back ground.
Burn walked over to a small rack and grabbed a metal poker from it. In a flash it was glowing red. Sam gulped as Burn stepped closer, "Wait just a second."
Vlad laughed as the girl's screams went unanswered. He patted a small recording device, "Just the thing to lull me to sleep in the morning."
Danny stopped walking when he felt a small tug on his leg. Ace was gently pulling on his leg. "What is it?" The dog looked over to a large theater. Danny nodded, "Good work! Wait for me by the bike." The dog nodded and ran off. Danny rolled his shoulders and walked up to the entrance doors. There were no doormen or guards. Danny shrugged and walked in. The lobby was nicely decorated and he could hear some music coming from a large pair of doors. Danny pushed them open and walked into a large theater room. Long rows of chairs all leading to a stage. Danny shook his head. A band was playing on stage with a girl playing with a guitar. "Why am I not surprised?" Danny flew to the stage and landed in front of her, "Should have guessed you would be in charge of this area, Ember."
"The chance to increase my powers ten fold. I couldn't resist!" She stepped back and slung her guitar on her back, "All this power and all I have to do is avoid the sun." She snapped her fingers and a trapdoor opened. A chair rose up with a dark-skinned person sitting in it.
"Tucker!" He was dressed in a black bodysuit and his glasses were missing.
Ember smiled and patted the boy's head, "My first spawn! How do you like him?" Tucker stood up and looked at Danny with glowing eyes. Ember backed away, "Go and play with your old friend!" Ember and her band started to play a rock song as Tucker lunged at Danny.
"Tucker!" Danny jumped back as his friend slammed his fist into the floor where Danny had been standing. His fist smashed into the wooden stage. "That's not good!" Danny's fist glowed white, "Sorry buddy!"
He fired a beam, but Tucker jumped up twenty feet into the air and landed at the back of the theater. He roared and ripped a chair free from the floor. "Can't we talk about this?" Tucker flung the chair at him. Danny phased through the floor to avoid the chair. He flew out of the floor and floated up near the ceiling, "Guess not!" Tucker flexed his fingers as he glared at the flying ghost. Danny checked his belt, "Damn! Never thought I would just try and catch a vampire." Tucker crouched down and jumped at him. Danny tried to move, but Tucker was quick and latched onto his coat. Tucker threw his weight down and smashed Danny into the floor. He was just lucky they had missed the chairs. Danny shoved Tucker off him with his feet and rolled to a standing position.
"Getting tired Dipstick!" Ember played a few more cords and Tucker's eyes began to glow brighter.
Danny nodded, "So that is how your controlling my friend." Danny unwrapped the chain whip from around his arm and flew at Ember. Tucker jumped up to block him. Danny tossed the whip and it took on a life of its own. It wrapped around Tucker and effectively stopped him. Tucker cried out as the whip shocked him, but Danny knew it wouldn't finish him. Danny landed on the stage in front of Ember, "Just you and me now!"
"And you think that improves your odds?" Ember hit a power cord and a large red fist shot from it.
"Don't you have anything new?" Danny ducked it and pulled out his hand axe, "Here is my new trick! Axe Crash!" And axe of white energy shot from the hand axe and slammed into Ember's guitar. The strings on it were cut.
"Cute!" Ember's eyes glowed red and she opened her mouth. A large stream of webbing shot from her mouth. It covered his axe and trapped it to his hand.
"Gross!" Danny tried to let go of the weapon.
Ember crouched down and tripped Danny with her foot. As Danny hit the floor, a door opened and he fell through it. Danny fell several feet and landed on a stone floor. She smiled and waved, "Have fun!" The door closed. Ember walked over to Tucker and grabbed the chain whip around him. She quickly pulled it off him and tossed it across the room. She shook her hand as the burn from the whip healed, "You better do better next time." Tucker nodded and the pair left.
Danny jumped to his feet and rubbed his head, "Ouch!" He flew up towards the door. He crashed into a purple field of energy. "Another ghost shield." He looked around. He was in a large stone room. Square shaped with no windows or doors. A large wooden coffin was leaning upright against one of the walls. It was red and purple. Danny flew over to it and slowly opened it. He sighed with relief, "Empty!"
"Not for long!" A velvet like female's voice spoke as he was shoved into it and the door shut.
Danny tried to go intangible, but couldn't. "Let me out of here!" A purple gas began to fill the coffin, "Great!" Danny became drowsy, "I'm going to get that singer for this." He passed out.
Danny yawned and sat up. He was sitting in a large grassy field. The sun was shinning and all he could hear was the sounds of nature. Danny looked at himself, he was in his human form and was dressed in his normal shirt and pants. "Still eighteen." He stood up, "How did I get here? Is this a dream?" He started walking and came to a street with a large billboard next to it. "Amity Park! I'm home!" He looked around and made sure no one was around, "Going Ghost!" He transformed into Danny Phantom. He flew into the sky and towards the city, "I need answers."
